I find Rosemarys situation very claustrophobic, she is quite literally stuck there

It's a bit - ironic is the wrong word - but for someone who beat the drum for independence for so long to now being in a situation where basically all of her life decisions are being made for her by those around her - it's nightmare fuel. Now I know the reality is probably very different but that's just how it looks from the outside.

I’m behind on the podcasts but does it say why she’s moving? Thought she got a new job in FW. Apologies if I’m wrong, I’m assuming from the chat here!

The company she’s gotten a job with is based out of Tennessee and she said in the podcast (the boardroom Betty one) that the expectation is that she’ll move there and she says she will have done by next summer. I guess maybe letting the boys finish out the current school year. Will be hard on the parents in terms of their visits. Following Rosemary really has opened my eyes to what a complete shithole America is. From the crap job conditions to not being able to walk anywhere to neighbours telling you you can’t hang washing out.

And slog your ass off working all year and be lucky if you get 5 days annual leave out of it. What a total shithole

Her latest chat about the lack of maternity leave and Brandin getting no days off for the baby is just diabolical.

I had chills when she said a woman will be returning to work a WEEK after having her baby. WTF 😟🥺😭

You'd see it on tiktok , they'd be pumping mad when their baby is small as they want to breast feed their babies but can't because theyve to go back to work. Id feel sorry for them as it's so exhausting to pump and clean and I'm sure they don't get breaks there (which to be fair to Ireland we do)

I had a family member let go during the week and was told good bye good luck leave ! No social welfare , huge mortgage to pay for. This country is no where near perfect but we have ok rights when it comes to employment.

I felt sorry for her when she was explaining the c section date, it felt clinical and it obviously works out better for her to have him home to help etc .. and she has openly mentioned she'd like to try a vbac but cannot due to work

🤣 I know it sounds dramatic but it's true, her children/grandchildren would have likely been raised in Ireland and for all our problems we are heads and shoulders above the tit hole that is America (guns, trump, terrible working conditions-mat leave, pat leave, paid time off etc)

I mean it is a little bit dramatic. Her future generations are free to leave America. I don’t know, all of this talk about it being such a shithole makes me think that we need some perspective, there are countries where women have literal zero rights. It’s a first world country. I feel sorry for Rosemary as she’s clearly not happy but I don’t think she’s oppressed as some of the comments are making out

To be fair, she didn't seem happy in Dublin either and I think that's half of Rosemary's problem.
She always thinks there's something better around the next corner.

I think you’re right. She probably lacks perspective
 
I must be alone in not feeling sorry for Rosemary. I've been following her for what must be about 10 years at this point, I don't think I've ever seen her happy with her lot. I don't really consume any of her content anymore because I stopped liking it but she is educated woman, she chose the life she is living knowing full well what it would entail. If I remember right Trump was president when she chose to move so she knew she wasn't moving somewhere forward thinking and progressive.

Rosemary is one of life's moaners and that's fine, not everyone can be sunshine personified but she is never going to project happiness out into the world. I don't think she would be any happier in Dublin or sunning herself on a beach in the Caribbean. Miserable in Ireland or miserable in the Midwest I don't think it makes a difference at least in the Midwest she got the family that she wanted, I don't think a relationship with an Irish person would have progressed quickly enough for that to happen.

I agree with a lot of what you’re saying apart from the bit about the family she wanted. That’s the jarring thing, Rosemary was always adamant she did not want kids and next thing you know she’s a housewife in the Midwest. And I know it is possible to change one’s mind she was absolutely adamant she didn’t want kids. Not just on the fence but very vocal

I honestly wouldn't think too much about this tbh. I was the very same in my 20s/early 30s, extremely vocal about it, so much so relations often say to me to this day they can't get over how I now have children. I also swore blind to anyone who would listen that I would never ever be A SAHM and give up my independence and here I am 10 years later, a very happy SAHM!

Is it normal for her visa to be taking so long to be processed? Am v surprised it would take that long especially as Atlas is 2, is it?
 
Jaysus in my youth I was v vocal about not marrrying and definitely not having kids . . . life throws all sorts of curve balls. She does seem happy with her husband and kids. Its tough Bea will move away and lack of support will be hard.

I lived in USA for a bit. Its fine if you've got money and no reason not to work really hard but as you get older with kids etc it wouldn't be my choice as the best country ever.
