Re: Brianna K: Marriage & Margs on the rocks | Part 4
Ok serious question. What does someone have to do to "acknowledge their privilege"? Say she already tips her hair stylist well, her assistant, etc (we dont know that, but let's assume). Lets assume she had some saved or invested for the kids future and her retirement. She gave away thousands this year to charity. Like what else do you want her to do?? Lol. I'm talking about with her money, I'm sure we could all donate more of our time!
I believe that everyone should donate a certain percentage of their income, regardless of their financial status. Are people really implying that she should cut corners and buy cheap stuff and dont spend so that......what? What would the end goal be of her NOT getting her hair and nails done if she likes to do that and isnt hurting for the money? Like.. what else do people want her to be doing with her own money? Why do we have to "know what its like" to be in a million different peoples shoes and life paths? We can respect and appreciate them without having to go through their life just for the sake of knowing or relating. That's the beauty of life, we all come at it with our own perspectives and live differently.
Food for thought I guess.

So I call BS on the snowed in thing. Friends in the area tell me there was 1/2” of snow and schools were open. Drama queen!

Re: Brianna K: Marriage & Margs on the rocks | Part 4
Did anyone else watch the Come Home for Christmas video? I actually thought it was pretty cute and those kids were very patient through all the baking and decorating. Pressley's hair was adorable!
Brianna displayed a softness and relaxed attitude that I haven't noticed in a while, so I'm curious how part 2 of this little series ends up.

I don't think she considers how many of her followers are local. I live in the area too. The snow just barley accumulated and the roads were fine.ElaineFrancis wrote: ↑Tue Dec 17, 2019 6:28 pm So I call BS on the snowed in thing.

I think she's been reading here and this is her jab at people calling her out for the $50 chocolates. She'll throw something at those beneath her pay grade with some blue-collar gift ideas. She's calculated and backhanded like that and it isn't the first time she's shown herself this way.
Second, why does she have to "know what its like" to struggle financially? Her whole channel is based on upper middle class things. She doesn't bargain shop, clip coupons, etc. She is staying in her lane and showing gift examples like $50 chocolates for that reason.
I've been reflecting a lot lately on wealth and poverty and whatnot, and one thing that's been on my mind is....why is it ok to shame "rich" people for having money and how they spend it, but inappropriate to talk shit on people for being poor and THEIR financial decisions? Theres no badge of honor for living in struggle. Struggling financially doesn't make someone more relatable, likeable, or superior than someone who isnt. Like it or not, kudos to Bri for creating a comfortable life....before the life insurance kicked in. She deserves to spend it if she wants to!! She has made smart money choices. For example, yeah she buys a lot of clothes, but she also sells them and gets her money back. She goes on vacations, but the content gets her paid!! Admire her for that.
See my issue is that she does try to be relatable to anyone and everyone. That’s kind of the schtick for these women on YouTube. Oh look at us we are all the same!! I don’t care what she makes, it’s just so painfully obvious that she doesn’t understand her own privilege. It seems that she ignores the fact that not everyone who follows her is able to live her lifestyle. When people are asking for a lower budget gift option she literally told them to put pipe cleaners on beer. I mean shoot, even Myka donated to some families this year. For me, that’s relatable. I want to see people doing good, not spending like crazy. But that’s my opinion and that’s why I don’t much care for Bri and would rather talk here about her hahaha. I don’t follow her for gift recommendations that’s for sure lol.
But when you do make a donation you don’t shout out to the world about it the Bible says to give secretly

Re: Brianna K: Marriage & Margs on the rocks | Part 4
I agree! I wouldn't have thought of that and it was obvious her friend came up with the idea. My only objection would be if she was forcing them. She kind of reminds me of Sheldon on the big bang theory when he complains people are having fun wrongformerctfxcer wrote: ↑Mon Dec 16, 2019 3:38 am I think the structured play at a party with kids of varying ages is actually a good idea.

Re: Brianna K: Marriage & Margs on the rocks | Part 4
We shouldn't be squabbling over her lifestyle and whether she earned it or not. I think the original point was just that she is meant to be an influencer, and the majority of people would not be buying $50 boxes of chocolates as a gift. It's not relatable. It's not #giftgoals. It just appears to be showing how out of touch with reality she is.
And there is nothing wrong with her having money, it's just not a practical gift.

Re: Brianna K: Marriage & Margs on the rocks | Part 4
Her Instagram photo had water behind it. It wasn't frozen solid which I assume it would be if she was snowed in. Lol. Then again, she could have taken that photo months ago to be prepared hahahaJK888 wrote: ↑Tue Dec 17, 2019 9:04 pmLIES as usual.

Re: Brianna K: Marriage & Margs on the rocks | Part 4
Her IG stories today... eye roll. For someone so obsessed with and anal about doing all the things and being so ocd and organized you’d think she’d have her xmas cards taken care of way before now... weird lady.

Re: Brianna K: Marriage & Margs on the rocks | Part 4

Re: Brianna K: Marriage & Margs on the rocks | Part 4
So so agree. Tiffani tries to do this too with Ella. They look ridiculous. Babies and toddlers shouldn’t embrace the oversized sweater look. It just makes them look like their mom was careless and bought the wrong size.Sunshinemama wrote:Can we just mention their Christmas photo she posted on IG...why is she always putting P in huge sweaters!

Does anyone watch these dumb Christmas videos? What the heck do they do with all this food?! There’s always cakes, pies, cookies, appetizers. Where the heck is it all going? If I was her friends or family I’d be sick of going over there for staged parties. It’s like the food network shows where they act like they’re at home having a big gathering and it’s just a set lol.

Re: Brianna K: Marriage & Margs on the rocks | Part 4
I'm so tired of being told and hinted at that we should be "getting through" the holidays and managing our "holiday stress". Like, if you're putting this on yourself you need to evaluate your life. All of the "oh no, traveling with toddlers, terrible twos" to the "smoothing out your daily routine, stress free mornings".
It's the funniest thing....its almost like...if you DONT implant these fears and thoughts about ALL THE STRESS, it's almost like.....not stressful? It's almost like you might accidentally live in the moment and enjoy the life you've created. You can put down the wine and the copious amounts of "self care" and just have a positive attitude and take the good with the bad.
PSA 2019 lol. But really tho, please stop telling me how stressed I should be. Lifes too short. Reevaluate yourself Brianna.

Re: Brianna K: Marriage & Margs on the rocks | Part 4
I'm new to Briannas channel so wth is up with all these clean with me videos?! Can she not come up with new content??
When I first started watching I thought aw what a cute family and they have such a cute house. Then when I checked out her other videos it started to become repetitive. & it also became painfully obvious that she wants to come off oh so perfect. This girls gotta give it a rest! Does she actually think this is normal?! Her whole channel screams FAKE. Oh and her new car screams try hard.

For real my only holiday stress is because I didn’t really think about wrapping presents until today. I have 2 kids. I’m hosting Christmas dinner. 0 stress other than folding and taping some wrapping paper a bunch tomorrow lol.venonymous0806 wrote:I'm so tired of being told and hinted at that we should be "getting through" the holidays and managing our "holiday stress".

Re: Brianna K: Marriage & Margs on the rocks | Part 4
Clean with me are her most popular aka money makers. Bri has to care the most about her money makers bc she left her actual #bossbabe job with health insurance and a reliable paycheck to clean on camera and sell stupid cups.randomlurker wrote:I'm new to Briannas channel so wth is up with all these clean with me videos?!

Thank you!!! I was thinking this too. Girl needs to CHILL. No one needs the perfect gift and perfectly curated menus and perfectly designed outfits. I’ve said it before, she thinks her life is a magazine. Bri, no one is as stressed as you right now because you think everything has to be a hallmark Christmas movie. My baby is overdue right now and I’m not as stressed as you are!!!!
