I feel like I need to re-watch it just to look for the strange lip thing because somehow I missed it!

I watched it just to see the lip thing. At first, it looked like an irritated piercing hole at the bottom of her lower lip. By the end of the episode, there were several spots around her mouth. It may be acne or it could be herpes. I dunno.

Yes! So annoying. But the boobies is worse.

And she did say she was a part-time prof of something kind of esoteric.

She seemed like she might fit in on DCUM.

I got to get him to let go of 10, and while he wasn’t looking snuck 3 more out of the house. We moved into our new house a year and a half ago, and he still has 3 bins full of unknow clothing sitting in his closet. I have been slowly throwing things out of the bins, and he does not notice. He has a huge walk in closet filled with clothing, while i have a linen closet, about 5 feet wide, converted to a regular closet. I dress professionally for work, but most of my tops work well with jeans, so i can wear them on the weekends. I have no idea why people like to have all these clothes hanging around.

One of the episodes was with a widow. While technically speaking her husband’s belongings were useless to her, they held a lot of memories and represented letting go of him. Marie warned her to save this step for last but she didn’t and the pain was palpable.

She’s probably here and is the crazy PP that keeps claiming it was the husband that was the problem on this episode.

I have a huge crush on Mario, the husband in the episode where they are expecting their first child. So handsome, with a good personality.

Anyone else?

I just finished the first episode and wanted to punch that jerk!

Really? I had the opposite reaction. I want to punch HER. She’s so whiny and clearly not fit to be a “mostly” stay at home mom. You can’t find your way around your own kitchen and don’t know what goes on in there? Laundry gives you anxiety? Grow up. That’s called laziness. Suck it up and get it done.

Me too. At least twice during the episode she asks for her dh to compliment her. “I’m bad at laundry but I’m still worth it? Right, babe? Right? Babe?!”

Yes! I love that the show is kind, and for the most part features very nice people.

Only the first two episodes are duds.

The Michigan to LA family is by far the best. And had one of the hardest jobs— downsizing from a 4 story 4 bed house to a tiny apartment! I really wish all the best for them.

I thought at least one of the early episodes did toys and got the kids involved.

When the kids are out of the house, throw a bunch of toys out, if they ask about something, fake ignorance. Works in my house. We have 2 Ikea Stuva toy cheats in the house, and if they start to spill out into other areas or toys no longer fit into them, I throw extras out. We have a lot of space, but I have little tolerance for clutter. Kids are 5 and 9. One toy box each.

While that works for some, Marie doesn’t advocate cleaning out or purging other people’s things. Kids have favorites too. They need to learn to tidy and declutter, while respecting space constraints.

My kids are little sentimental horders. If I let them, they'd collect trash and broken toys. I have no choice but to sneak at their young ages.

I just watched the first episode. Don't understand the hate here for the Friend family- husband or wife. They seem like a normal couple to me. I didn't find him being a jerk at all. And please- what she said regarding the laundry, "I'm still worth it, right babe?" I mean who the heck doesn't talk like that to their husband once in awhile? Do you always talk with your spouses in a formal, non-joking, non-flirty way, everyday? BORING. And also, yes, being a SAHM (FYI- I'm not) is stressful and some people are not naturally organized so it's very feasible that she is overwhelmed with her kitchen despite being at home most of the day. REmember she has 2 young kids which in itself is a stressful stage to be in. Don't be so judgy!
