I just... I mean. At first I just saw him and the cat and thought "wow, that's strange.." then I read it, then I looked at the photo again. I mean, not every "special" moment has to be shared. We know this, but apparently not everyone got the memo? If someone breaks their damn neck trying to recreate this.. It's tiring, too. Everyone's on social media trying to outdo each other with their depiction of perfectly cute cottagecore relationships. It's become this weird my-relationship-is-better-than-yours flex battle ground lately. It's gotten even worse with the pandemic and staycation + stay-at-home year we've had. What's next? The home organisation YouTuber ladies doing a special "HUUUUGE sex toy drawer declutter + organisation" challenge? Yeah, we get it. We also get funky and spanky and cutesy. Most couples do. I'll clap when I'm impressed. *crickets*

I just find it funny cos I always got the impression that he was a private kind of person - from DD not completing tags etc with wishes. So totally surprised about this one. Definitely not one that I would share - but I'm an uptight British person. What goes on in the bathroom should definitely stay in the bathroom!

I just posted about that pic in the Ali thread. Booty let me know that you guys were chatting about it over here. My post there... I was wondering if someone was going to post about this. It definitely wouldn’t be a photo (or description) that I would pick for social media. I am probably a little prude and private, though.

I am forever grateful nobody has posted it in a thread to traumatize us all over again. I haven't read the comments, but I can imagine the fan girls are swooning! "I wish my DH would take a bath with me." "You're always so creative!" "OMG, HE'S SO HAWT!!!" {again, I have not read the comments, I can only guess based on prior experience.}

Seriously though. Is there no privacy anymore? And it looks like there's a huge walnut in Aaron's mouth. Storin' up for the winter?! I can't talk about it anymore. I'm over here lmao about it now. I have to be done. 😂

I can't talk about it anymore. I'm over here lmao about it now. I have to be done. 😂 OMG I hadn't seen that. Im dying...so many jokes... I guess my hatred for this photo comes from my dad and his wife. Dad remarried six months after my mom died and on their honeymoon, his wife posted a similar photo on FB and tagged all 5 of my brothers and sisters. She then proceeded to tell about them taking their first bath together and all the fun they had. *BARF* She fancies herself as a wanna be writer and artist (she is a good artist), so every year she revisits this story and photo and has even painted a copy of the bathtub photo. Every March, I see the photo and see the story on FB and I want to die. As an adult I don't want to see (or read) about my dad having fun in the clawfoot bathtub. Imagine their kids will feel similar.

Anyway, I thought he was sitting on top of a stack of phone books in the bathtub to get some height. lol

Gosh I’m glad you’re all here because I was trying to decide if it was some sort of a prude for finding that picture a tad inappropriate. It just feels so personal — even the very intimate way she captions it makes me feel like I’m “walking in” on someone.

Heaven help me, her husband looks like a homeless guy she brought home and decided to give him a dunk in the tub.
I find the whole situation weird. There’s a lot that I know about my closest friends and a lot I don’t know. I know none of them would post a moment like that on Instagram…so a person I follow for creative inspiration posting that doesn’t leave me inspired. Just perplexed.

mom I know the feeling, I had a boyfriend whose dad felt compelled to tell whenever he and his girlfriend (who was 25 yrs younger) took a shower, they brought the dog in with them. Thankfully no photo to commemorate the occasion though.

Get ready for all the folks on Facebook posting bath photos. And the passive aggressive IG stories from women upset that their husband doesn't want to pose in the tub with them for their scrapbook project. "Dammit Dave, I don't ask for much! You got me grocery store flowers for Mother's Day, Dave, grocery store flowers! Now take your T-shirt off and go sit in the tub and look happy."

There are a lot of photos on Instagram that I might inwardly cringe at, this one is minor. Would I post something like this? Nope. But her Instagram, her choice and I'm assuming she got Aaron's permission to post. I've seen so many people on Instagram be awful, mean, critical and post personal attacks to the posters about what they were sharing. You don't like it, don't follow. At the end of the day, as long as there has been permission granted and it isn't hurting anyone it's her platform. She can post what she wants and if she loses or gains followers because it, that's how it goes. But honestly I don't think she cares. She's here for the stories and the real life stuff. I never got the impression that she was in it for the followers.

But Ali has always been very open and comfortable about sharing her life and her relationships and I think 'Good for her!' Plus, I thought it was an awesome photo, especially with the cat in it!

Here's what I took photos of yesterday:
*weather app *Ds2 with dogs *lunch date with DH *what was in my cart at Hobby Lobby *ds2 reading in my scrapbook room while I worked *peloton stats from my ride yesterday *DH & I reading in bed
So not a ton of photos, but enough that I can tell my story.

People are posting so many photos on Instagram! I just plan to do a 6x8 album. It's only my second time doing this, but I figured last year's lockdown book shouldn't be my only one. I'm thinking as long as I have three or four pictures a day, I'm good. I'm making sure to take a weather app one everyday, just in case I don't have enough.

If you don't include some sort of "VOOOOMIT" sentiment on the page, are you even one of us? ETA: Your unfortunate stepmother bath story reminded me of the stepmother narrative in Fleabag. If you haven't watched it, it might be cathartic (also, there's a priest character we all lusted after in it).

I didn't see her in that tub photo at first and thought "why is he just.... staring?" after reading her blurb went back to see she was there too and went... oh lmao They have a nice tub. I wish I had a big stand alone thing like that! For witl -- Monday was a "regular days look like this" photo day. - making coffee - pet stuff - watering the flowers - shot of the empty living room in its messy glory - me at the desk working - screenshots of what we watched .. got some food shots in there too, but once the good sun is gone from our front room I quit taking photos. I need to find a workaround to keep me engaged past 4pm. Tuesday we went to the botanical gardens in San Francisco where the majority of my photos were of flowers or sitting in the car

I never got the impression that she was in it for the followers. And since her insta is open to the public, it is everyone's right to criticize. And it's your right to defend behavior that really isn't consistent to her brand. That's what confuses me. When I saw it yesterday, I honestly didn't even see the tub, I only saw the cat. I looked at the caption and was slightly shocked because that is so not something I would expect from her. She can do what she wants but I personally think these types of moments should be kept private. The oversharing needs to stop with all these "influencers" but then I guess they wouldn't have a following because they're not being "real". Ugh, I really am hating social media these days.

Funny enough, I made DS1 take the photo and I made him re-do it because I felt too exposed in my pj's, so I pulled my quilt up to cover more!
