Ah just her mate came for a visit from Ireland, Rosemary paid for her internal flights from Chicago to FW, I think partially to be sound but partially because she didn’t want to drive to collect her (it’s a decent journey), and the friends initial flight was delayed so she missed the internal one and rosemary had to collect her anyway! But she’s mentioned the cost of the flights a few times and in her most recent money diary says “a pay in 4 for *friends name* flight comes out, raging!” And while I get that it’s annoying the friend didn’t get use out of rosemarys gift, if I was her friend I’d be really embarrassed if my friend bought me a $200 gift that they were paying off in instalments and kept reminding their readers and presumably our mutual friends of?

I absolutely love her money diaries and have zero judgement for how she spends, I just think she’s embarrassing her mate a bit in this instance, this weeks details a trip for a wedding and her world doesn’t seem as small as it used to when she first moved over!
I don’t care how she spends her money either, it’s the constant poor mouthing that I can’t abide. I’ve said before, none of her spending matters without context. She has mentioned a few times sending a package to that friend in the podcast. It was a load of stuff you can only get in America. All I thought was, what a huge waste of money! Give it to her when she’s in America, and for the love of God, all anyone wants is Crest Whitestrips and Physicians Formula pressed powder.

In fairness there's still loads of stuff you can't get in Ireland. But why send a package of stuff if that friend is coming to visit anyway
Yeah but what she sent to her was available here.
What was her friend doing anyway getting a flight to Chicago to be picked up by her, if she was taking the trouble to visit her she should've paid her own flights! She'll be listening to this when they're ninety now, I'd say Rosemary is going mad over it!
Sorry but they're both idiots. The friend for accepting the flight being paid for and Rosemary for paying
I only fleetingly watch Rosemarys stories. But have to agree her world seems to have contracted significantly. I know Dublin is technically small but I feel she had a good network and it’s a nice city and now she lives in a relatively small city in middle America with no prospect of being able to leave.
I think with Rosemary, it's not where she is, it's that she never seems to be happy with her lot. In Dublin she had a good network like you said, got plenty of work through her contacts etc. She wasn't content though as she wanted a boyfriend, children, etc. She now has a child, a husband and stepchildren but is complaining about being unable to leave
I can't remember her being single for that long, not since I've followed her anyway and distinctly remember watching her "why I don't want children" video.
I wouldn't say she wasn't content, I think she was pleasantly surprised by the work she did through influencing but it obviously wasn't for her and she certainly wasn't a "serious" journalist. She's been very clear about using anti depressants and her MH for a long time, there's no amount of air miles that can get you away from that.
That being said, I'd feel absolutely suffocated in her position and genuinely do hope she is genuinely happy because it all seemed to happen so quick.
So wait, she went and made a video about how she doesn't want kids, did the opposite to that and is now complaining about her life?
And she might not have been single for that long but she has made no secret about dating a married man and her dating disasters. Hell, she even wrote a book (that was in the making for years) about her dating disasters so this is not news to anyone
I would be so furious and upset if I was married to someone, had a child with them, etc, and they were complaining about how they couldn't leave, how their world felt small, they were suffocated etc etc. Didn't she discuss any of this in advance? Surely making sure you're on the same page as someone about where you want to live, values, etc is essential before you get married
I don't understand why people are saying her life is suffocating. It looks like a normal life to me. She is married with kids, has an extremely close relationship with her sister and parents, works on her writing and stuff. It might not be fun and excitement at all times but the same can be said for everyone

You sound just like her, she puts this content out there herself willingly and then claims it's no one else's business
From what I can see, it doesn't matter where she lives or where she is, she lacks perspective and will always be complaining and thinking things are better elsewhere

I think maybe people mean suffocating in the sense that she pretty much has to stay in the US.
Brandon's life is there and his 2 kids, so they can't leave. She can't raise her child in her home country and be near to her parents etc.
Yes this is what I meant at least, anyway. I think I'd view it differently if she had carved her own path over there as a result of work or whatever, but just to go there because her sister was there and settle down is wild to me.
With ageing parents, and America just being America, I wouldn't want my child growing up there, never mind waiting for someone else's kids to grow up so I could leave.
They are not just someone else kids. They are her husbands kids and her step kids. She has a very close bond with them. So she is not going to leave. She loves them and a life there but is still allowed to miss home.
Sounds like a good reason to go somewhere that you already have family. She met someone and fell in love and has a happy marriage.
