Not every mom enjoys motherhood. Some of us have kids with special needs and cannot catch a break.
It's actually so so common! I've heard many parents say the same thing. Being honest about parenthood shouldn't be so controversial, especially when discussing it with someone on the fence.
In private, sure, on a message board, to friends...That's totally fine, but not on tv for your kids to watch. I think smart people are those like some family members in various reality shows who refuse to come and be on, like Bri's dad, Amber's ex...There is no upside to going on and being judged by strangers, or making hurtful comments like this one by accident or through shady editing by producers.
It's fine to talk about on TV. Not everyone wants to be hush hush about their very real feelings about parenthood, and that's fine. If it's not something you'd discuss, well that's your life. You don't get to dictate how everyone else lives theirs.
That’s a selfish perspective. It’s not fine to talk about on TV. She may have the right to her feelings but she needs to understand that broadcasting them out over mass airways might make it back to her children. Imagine if your young child heard that. Sure no one can dictate how you live your life but put your kids feelings first.
I think lying to people about parenthood is a selfish perspective. Saying parenting is hard is not abandoning your children. She sounds like a great mom. You're taking something personally that wasn't meant for you.

Granted, Ashley and Brittany were also weirdos, but in a different way.
I think Alex is a very interesting person. Gallons of childhood trauma covered in fake sports bro speech and fake confidence, but I totally do believe he actually is decent underneath it all. When Vanessa said so he actually had this little moment of letting his guard down, like he doesn't hear nice things very often so he's always on the defensive feeling like crap and justifying himself. Had he been matched with Brittany who was so kind and nurturing to Devonta (even though he gave nothing back) that might have been very good, and her dad could have been an excellent father figure for him.

I kind of agree. Found it weird how appalled she was that someone might not find her attractive.

I'm glad Jordan told the drunk wedding story rather than allow himself to be pushed under the bus. Also good to hear Vanessa explain that Alex's behavior comes from a lot of trauma (she had a tough childhood herself) Ultimately the show seems to have learned that full on take downs are not ok and everyone there is a flawed person.
Yeah it was really being framed as he's just a frat boy doofus who couldn't handle adulting. She's not ready for a relationship, she hates men! Like says how much she hates them on TV! And then acting like being invited to be his plus-one was an unrealistic expectation he was putting on her, as opposed to a perfectly normal part of being a couple, was super strange.
Brittany's dad was so kind and genuine. Devonte's kid is screwed, I'm sad to say.
Probably by the first woman who gave his box built body the time of day. It seems really rushed to just up and have a baby on the way. He spent 3 months of the year breaking up with Brit then it takes 2 months for a positive test result so how much does he even know this woman?
He knows her enough to see she’s a white woman. When he saw Brittany was a WOC that was it.
Yeah, he actually implied as much. Said he had never dated or been attracted to a WOC. I have no idea why she did not pick up on that, or her father fwiw. I don't know, it is a question that I would have asked directly. My question is why did both Alex and Devonte stay in that relationship knowing they were not physically attractive to the women they chose in the pods. And BTW, Devonte has some admixture in his DNA. To me, I see it in his phenotype, and if he took the requisite testing, it would be found also in his genotype. JMO

Was definitely not expecting that. Devonte , wow, I have NO idea what girl could say yes to him! Ugh……….
