Now that Morgan and Justin are married, they should do an episode with Shayne and Courtney and Kris and Caleb! An episode with each couple or all together!!!
"Cut the Umbilical Cord" would be such a good episode theme
Hey Morgan I’m sure you’re under contract, but please know that skims is opening dozens of locations in Israel and is being boycotted right now. I understand that u signed when they didn’t involve themselves in a genocide but please don’t renew the contract! Love u!!
The fact that Story 3 guy keeps telling her what his family members said in her absence..he knows what he's doing.
Story one was so sad :( Imagine living in a cage and the only companion you have who speaks your language dies, and then you think you’ve found another, but they end up not being real. What happens if one of them moves?? Poor bird will be devastated
In regards to the first story: i have pet parrots (DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT RECCOMMEND GETTING PARROTS, THEY WILL SH!T ALL OVER YOUR WALLS AND TEAR UP YOUR STUFF. UNLESS YOU HAVE THE TIME, SPACE AND MONEY, PLEASE DO NOT GET A PARROT. If you must have a parrot, please please ADOPT, do not shop, i beggggg. My parents got these birds and aren't the most responsible care-takers, so I have to pick up alot of slack. Not that I mind as i love them very much). Disclaimers aside lmao, parrots are verrrrrry temperamental and need a lot of attention. If, they do not have a companion (whether bird or human) that they get along with, accompanying them most of the day or get enough enrichment they will get extremely moody, go on hunger strike and/or pluck their feathers to the degree where you will be able to see their skin. So, the birdy is unfortunately displaying typical bird behaviour and is definitely in need of a companion. They are very emotionally intelligent and can be super stubborn. The parrot in the first story might also just really, really like the neighbour and that why it's acting the way it is 😭(but i doubt it)
Story 4: he sounded like a decent partner, but his family convinced him a father's role is financial and that's it. I wouldn't be surprised if they shamed him for being so attentive. I want to believe he can self correct, but I worry that once he let them infect him it might have been too late. There is gonna be a ton of resentment even if he figures it out now. He needs to stop listening to his family and they need counseling.
There's actually no evidence saying 25 is when the brain stops growing. That's just when they ended the study
I love the high value convo. Financials are lowkey the last thing I’m worried about. Can you cook? Do you have common sense? Do you even know where you are rn?😂😂😂 Pleeeaaasseeeee just don’t add more stress to my life and we’ll be good
For baby trenches.... The dad isn't the back up. He's an equal teammate. For 2/3 months you should have shifts on diapers, chores, cooking. We were blessed to be at home together for almost a month. He did such a great job being a partner during this time
