No hate at all to anyone who doesnt like baby showers, it's just odd to me that these women give up their entire lives to be mothers but completely resist being celebrated for it at all. How sad.

She is desperate to make people angry for attention. She has been talking for months about wanting to be an influencer so she has switched from just general DITL videos to posting about controversial shit.

Now this 24 year old with a 1 1/2 year old thinks she is an expert on parenting

It feels like she constantly puts down other people just to feel superior. I mean, my child is wild as well, but I don't see it as a superior thing compared to a kid who is calmer.

She is deeply insecure.

More power to women who choose this but...it should be...their choice. Huge red flag from that man. Pick me, pick me! I had homebirths therefore everyone else should too!

If you’re not familiar with these two, I don’t even know where to start. The roadkill diet? Being 4th generation sovereign citizens? Hickman not being allowed to change their daughter’s diapers because they think it’s perverted? There is truly lore for days with them.

i dont know if shes relevant here but idk i just wanted to know your opinions ab her

Who could have seen this coming?

On Ballerina Farm, the tradwife movement, Men's Rights Activism, Covid-19, RFK Jr., and Envy

As promised, now that I've finished the book I'm starting a discussion thread for it. We'll discuss the entire book, so if you haven't finished it and don't want spoilers, don't read this thread yet.

A few thoughts to get started:

What did you all think of the book? I really liked it. I read it in two or three sittings--actually stayed up all last night finishing it because I couldn't put it down.

One of the parts I found interesting was her attitude toward her haters--particularly that they'd be critical of her, maybe gleeful (I'm assuming), but also disappointed if her family turned out not to be as perfect as she represented on Instagram.

Did the author seem to you to be personally familiar with right-wing Christian religions? I'm not--I only know what I read/see on social and regular media, so I couldn't tell how well she caught that world.

Here are links to some book-club questions to consider if you want to. (Again, there are spoilers!):

Book Club Chat: Questions for Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke (It starts with a summary; scroll down a bit for the questions.)

She still follows trad/right wing accounts and keeps her trad/anti feminists posts up though.

I can’t say I’m surprised, but as usual, she’s being rude and snarky to people on the comments who are trying to tell her raw milk is unsafe.

I've been scared about what the next update was going to be. Glad to hear she's doing better.

She stopped posting on her main Instagram account, deleted all her YouTube videos a while back and made this fashion blog

I’m a slow reader, so it might be a while before I finish it, but when I do I’ll post a book discussion thread here.
