I could not get past hearing the first couple constantly refer to one another as “babe” - such a pet peeve of mine. I thought the wife said she is a professor of some sort?

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

She looks so familiar to me! found her Insta, but it doesn't explain why she looks familiar to me. anyone else?

She and her sisters were regulars on that Bravo show “The People’s Couch”, where random people watch Bravo series and make snarky comments.

Her maiden name is Resnick: http://www.bravotv.com/the-peoples-couch/photos/the-people-of-peoples-couch/item/10121426

Omg I'm a DP but I was thinking the same thing, and while I never watched the show I know her family...

She’s definitely not a relationship expert.

It looked like they were living inside a Kirkland's.

so they shop at Costco. and?

she's actually been on reality TV before - I doubt she's into MLM's. She's a coach of some kind.

I think she meant that smelly home decorating store called Kirkland’s.

NP
So many LoLs at this confusion. Must be late for me.

I think the tension between the 2 of them is super common for couples where one spouse works and one stays home with the kids. He envisioned in his mind she would be like June Cleaver and well, she was painfully not June. She was uncomfortable to watch as she really had no clue how to take care of a house or organize anything.

I thought she did work?

She said that she works part time but glossed over the details so who knows.

I just found her website because I was curious too. She is just a personal life coach. She will send you daily motivational posts or something like that. I’m assuming she works a lot on social media but doesn’t have a lot of (any?) actual clients. I can’t imagine anyone taking advice from her after seeing her on this show. She has her masters in some kind of communications so I give her props for that.

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.

She gently touches on this. The kids have to pick their favorites. Limit the amount you bring in, and if you get a new toy, get rid of an old. Limited space means limited toys.

i don’t get why people hold on to all this useless crap. My husband and I went through his t-shirts yesterday, he had 27 “working out and lounging around the house” t shirts. 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.
