I think it is the performative Christian thing that has something to do with the reaction. It seems both smug and insincere.
Maybe they are very nice in person. They just don't come across that way?

I’m always amazed at these posters who pounce on others to defend people who don’t know and don’t care that they exist.![]()
I couldn’t care less about this devout Christian mother. She’s not even a celebrity. She generates crazy threads and posts because she triggers a handful of shrews here. And we all know why.

They can buy a property, renovate it with a "name" designer, get it featured in AD or another outlet, and then sell it for a large profit. People like this also tend to own multiple homes and travel a lot, so I think they are less attached to specific houses than your average person. Real estate is considered a really sound investment for actors because it offers good return on investment for people at their level of wealth -- rich, but not obscenely so, with inconsistent income.
Should note here that Pratt paid 15.6m for it only 5 years ago, and now they are selling it for double that. Even with the extensive top-down renovation, they will likely net 7-10 million on it, a huge return on investment. You can't get that from the stock market.
Totally. But I can’t wrap my head around not getting attached to a beautiful custom home I not only built, but brought my children home to. Why not have a primary residence and buy/sell secondary properties? Are celebrities really so fickle that they want to build a new house every three years like leasing a car?
I get what you mean, I’ve wondered the exact same thing. Normal people would keep the house forever!
Have you ever renovated a house top to bottom, or built a custom home from scratch? My parents have done it multiple times and each time they are satisfied for a bit and then they want another project. My mom always talks about how when she's making choices on one house, there are things she has to say no to, and then they haunt her later. Like she'll design the kitchen and it will be great, but she'll still have this inspiration photo of a totally different style of kitchen tucked away somewhere, and she'll dream about designing a kitchen around that idea, too.
Basically it becomes a hobby and the joy is in the design and execution, less than living in it. Not for everyone, but I think for a lot of people who get into home design and renovation, this is the case.
I would like to know more about your parents and their lifestyle in a completely aspirational way. We are nearing the end of an 18 month long renovation and despite some mistakes and grumbling from the kids, DH and I are basically like “We all must love everything about it until we move or die. The End.”

They just don’t like this couple and I still don’t understand it. I like Chris, he’ll always be Andy from the hole on Parks & Rec; a goofy guy that often says the wrong things…I just can’t take anything he says seriously. She seem to have this image (fairy tale?) of the life she wants and is doing it with him…I’m neutral on her. They seem fairly harmless but really annoy people on DCUM for some odd reason.

She’s just perfect for the current zeitgeist for some reason. It’s the perfect storm of Anna faris being likeable, Chris Pratt seeming like a twit and her having this hard to pin down ickiness. There’s something so gross about them and it’s hard to figure out what it is.
It's not them. It's you. It's called jealousy.
DP. I know you have an agenda, but I agree with PP. it’s not jealousy. It’s that she is self-important when really she has had everything handed to her on a silver platter. She writes about “topics she’s passionate about.” That could be a self help book about faith or a children’s book about sisterhood. Why is she an authority on any of those topics? Because she is a well connected child of two famous people, and has a publicist. The NYT profile on her only demonstrated what a joke she is. Anyone in her position with any humility or self-awareness wouldn’t embarrass themselves on that kind of platform. She’s like the Ivanka trump of undeclared politics. Wealthy and photoshopped, but devoid of substance.
What you wrote makes you look very jealous, sorry. If reporters were begging to write about you and your opinions, you'd tell them your thoughts too. It's human nature.
Arnold has led an incredibly interesting life. You should learn about him.
Sure. He has. But we’re talking about his daughter who appears to have about as much depth as a koi pond despite having a father who has led a “interesting” life.
