sleepingbooty thank you! I will grab a couple to have in reserve... Sadly, holding out for the gold plate would be a waste of time....

sleepingbooty thank you! I will grab a couple to have in reserve... Sadly, holding out for the gold plate would be a waste of time.... On the plus side, the shape of the SB.com plates is really cool: Don't forget to grab your free gift if checking out today (6x6 sample pack of the new Echo Park Christmas 2020 papers).

and would ask before sharing anything I thought was an issue. And that's what makes the difference between including your kids in your life, versus using them. *thumbs up* ETA: I guess I just see this as more of an academic/learning exercise than anything else. I would agree that academics are not chores or "necessities" in that they are not required to live, but I also don't think that teens should have an easy out to academics...it's an important part of life. The difference is good parents do not brag online about making their kids do homework, nor share that homework with the world. Yes, on the scale of 'child star who's life has been completely upended to make YouTube profits' scrapbooking pages are a fairly mild "use" of kids. It's still them being used without their consent (if you don't have a choice, you can't consent) for content creation. But the minute you share the OUTPUT of their documenting on an LLC page, you're profiting off of them - you're crossing a line from a normal facebook parent (not-for-profit) to a monetized, for-profit business using your kids for content. Couldn't have said it better myself.

Embri I just think there is a possibility that they consented. Especially given Claire's recent interest in starting her own business on instagram and using her mother's platform to gain paying customers.

Omg now I'm rethinking if I want to maybe go with that light grey instead... I create two 12x12 albums per year and store them in a kallax in the living room, so 4 albums per cubby. I have 2015 & 2016 in "vanilla" (why I thought that color was a good idea I will never know, but they are too pricey I just can't justify swapping them out) which fills one full cubby. Then I have 2017-2020 in white with gold hardware that fills two cubbies... so I'm starting a new cubby with 2021 and since I have to switch albums anyways... hmmm...

Especially given Claire's recent interest in starting her own business on instagram and using her mother's platform to gain paying customers. I agree, they probably did. But it's an uneven relationship - she's the mom. If she gets pissy about being turned down, she can make their life a misery. So, it's not exactly an equal power dynamic when you "consent" to something business-related w/your parent. Kind of like how a 14 YO can't "consent" to sex w/a 25 year old. Unequal power dynamics.

lasteve1 , sleepingbooty , Embri , refugeepea (and others I might have missed tagging0 who commented on the "NO EXCUSE" Becky post. I really enjoyed reading everything all of you said! These are the types of discussions I really enjoy! No flaming, just sharing our thoughts/ ideas/ opinions / experiences. It made me rethink how I interpreted her post, so---thank you

sleepingbooty your enabling caused me to spend $150.... on the plus side, I got albums for the next 2 years (I buy 4 at a time in case I can't get matching ones because they go 4 to a cubby in my shelf)... I can't believe it's close enough to 2021 to be thinking about buying my albums, but I guess I'm already in the second album of 2020...

So, it's not exactly an equal power dynamic when you "consent" to something business-related w/your parent. Kind of like how a 14 YO can't "consent" to sex w/a 25 year old. Unequal power dynamics. There's the rub. Parental-child relationships vary a lot. Good ones include parents who respect their child's limits and give them autonomy relative to their age and development. The best sign of this is when a child feels comfortable telling their parent "no" for good reason, and that their boundaries will be respected or at least a discussion / negotiation will result rather than instant punishment or "my way or the highway".
Again, not all situations are up for discussion. Sometimes we all have to do unpleasant things for our own / society's good. But a lot of times kids know from previous experience there is no point in objecting to their parent's wishes ever because all it earns them is a bigger punishment. The 'choices' they have are not choices at all, and in that situation there cannot be consent. Not when someone is holding the necessities of life ransom to cooperation and can easily make their lives horrible as a result. Bragging about forcing your kids to do something is not generally a sign of a healthy relationship.

Apologies to your bank account, however! Which colour(s) did you go for in the end?

I went with white! I was unsure at first, but the grey sold out so it was an easy choice Those albums sell like hotcakes! White will be perfect to document the brand new chapter of your life for the first years in your new home.

On the plus side, the shape of the SB.com plates is really cool: I just ordered the MINT and some page protectors and am excited to get them. First time ordering a sb.com album, hope they are good. I've been trying to limit my scrapbook spending lately but albums are a necessity.

I had to laugh at Becky's IG stories about putting strategies so the notebooks don't sell out SOOO fast.

Thanks to the constant LDS cross-shilling, at least now we know where Becky gets her (horrible) content advice: sarahgracelive.com/machine/way too many words: check! weird bullet points: check! grammatical errors: check! yup! Sarah Grace knows how to make a buck, doesn't she? "I didn't have ANY money... but I had a dream. Then, 'stupid Covid' came along... So, for only $19.99 plus shipping and handling, I'll tell YOU how to make money easy! quickly! with no effort on your part at all!" (meanwhile, I'll make money off of YOU all buying my book on how to make money!!! bwahahaha!! )

(meanwhile, I'll make money off of YOU all buying my book on how to make money!!! bwahahaha!! ) FASTI can't with these word salads à la Becky's. Randomly capitalised words, random sentences sans ponctuation, some bold words, some underlined words, increasing font size, etc. Stop type-screaming at me or if you're going to do it, be concise and get to the point.

How many notebooks does one person need? Oh, thousands! Must record every single navel-gazing thought after all! If she picks up on how trendy the Everyday Explorers' Positivity Passport project is, she'll try to copy it to sell notebooks. She was already reposting stories on using her notebooks to make a "miracle journal" earlier this week.

Even Queen Victoria, who wrote every single day of her long life, had roughly 115 volumes of her journals. Now, how big those volumes were, I don’t know. But in her day, there wasn’t much else to do except gave babies and she did that in excess too.

No garden or balcony. I could do this but I'm not known to be exactly neutral when it comes to Becky antics. Not sure if I'm the best candidate to report back.
