  • @bluejeanbabi05 did you finish it? I'm on episode 7 I think. It's starting to freak me out...

  • Yeah. Unfortunately. It gets worse. I mean, not worse as it done too badly, just worse as in disturbing. I think they portrayed important issues very well and the acting was great, it was just too much for me. I felt sick after.

    Especially when we have children on the way. How am I supposed to raise a person and do a good job of it? I feel very inadequate to the task. 



  • @bluejeanbabi05 I've heard that it gets really graphic. I've been having those same feelings about parenting too. *Possible TW* DH is a middle school teacher, and he recently had a situation where some kids reached out to him (on the weekend) to report that another student was threatening suicide. DH had to get super involved in the situation, follow up with the parents, etc. It really shook me up thinking about when our kids get older. I just hope I can create a relationship with my kids where they are comfortable coming to me with issues, but that's so much easier said than done.

  • @beezeemarie @bluejeanbabi05 i had to watch it in 24h because the stress was killing me.. It is very disturbing.
    @beezeemarie middle school!! Im shocked this could be an issue this early in a kids life. 

    Theres a new tv show on Netflix thats called I dont want to live in this world anymore (or something like that, havent watched it, but the title totally reflects how I feel when I realize that kids would suffer to the point of wanting to harm themselves and that us parents wouldnt even know about it) 


  • It's been crazy at work and I just caught up. I'm never missing a couple days in a row ever again! 

    Arby's is delicious. 

    @yasandson you have more sex in one day than I have since I got my BFP. Kudos to you. I'm exhausted just reading about it. 

    Hope everyone has a good Easter! I woke up super early to do the Easter Bunny thing for my son. It's almost 10am and he's still sleeping.... 

  • Ok you all sucked me down the 13 Reasons Why rabbit hole

  • Everyone watching 13 reasons why, watch the very last documentary / chat with the cast. It is so worth it too. My kids will be watching this when they are of age. And of age to me is like 8th grade. Which means 3 years for DD1. Yikes

  • @Myelhsa we're going with James Shattuck. Shattuck is a last name in H's family, but it was important to him and we thought it made a good middle name.
  • @JessDG How was your appointment? are you still on bed rest?

  • Appointment was ok.  No ultrasound until my 20 week anatomy scan.  I am on bed rest for the rest of the week, but if I don't have any more bleeding, I can go back to wok on Monday as long as I promise to take it easy.  We will see how that goes since I am a teacher.  Thankfully I have older high school kids, so they should be good for me.  

    Thank you so much for asking!  
  • @JessDG Sorry to hear you are still confined but it looks like things are looking up. FX you can continue normal life next week. You're welcome! I just couldn't imagine it if it happened to me ( I also have a toddler which would make it extremely difficult)

  • i finished 13 reasons why last night. :'( ugh i am so scared of high school. like bullying has always been a thing. but now mass texts/snapchats? like it isnt even FB where you can keep a close eye. its a different world from our high school days. also i feel annoyed, there is going to be a season 2 isn't there?

  • @carries2018 I was super annoyed with the end of it because they left too many questions unanswered, which makes me think there has to be a second season. But, it's based on a book so they'd have to go rogue with the story line if they decide to do another season.

  • I can't decide if I can bring myself to watch 13 reasons why. My friend's younger sister was telling us horror stories last year about social media and bullying in hs. I've already been dreading my kids getting older and being in tough social situations. But on the flip side, maybe it's a good thing for parents to watch so they can start an open line of communication with their kids? 
  • is the ending with Tyler rogue? i didnt read the book.

  • I didn't read the book either, so I have no idea. I'm just assuming it ends around the same time as the last episode did. There could be more. I'll have to ask DH because he's a young adult book junkie.

  • Is anyone else having an issue posting photos on the mobile app? When I click the picture drop down. A box comes down like a smidge but no options show. I used to be able to post a photo link or pic a photo from my gallery. Super frustrating!! I guess I have to plug my laptop back in and visit you guys the right way huh?

    I read the 13 Reasons book but I haven't seen the show. Don't know if I will. The interest just isn't there. I came across this article which gives an interesting perpescrive on the show. I can't help but agree with some of it.

  • that is interesting @feeislove and i agree with it, but i feel like it is a catch 22. yes, someone will probably do the same exact thing. but suicide isnt going away. maybe this series can stop a couple people from bullying, or someone from making that choice. it is not talking about it, that harms more. it does glamorize it...bc it affected so many people in the show. but some suicides go unnoticed and everyone carries on. it is just so sad. and it is overwhelming to think sooner rather than later we will have to navigate this as parents.

  • oh my gosh how weird. i never really connected that R&J committed suicide. i mean i knew that obviously. but it never felt like suicide when i was reading it/learning about it.
