I took a once in a lifetime opportunity and I had no idea where that would lead me.“I wasn’t necessarily thinking about returning, or not returning.

Do you hate me? What is this?’”Rob then went on to quiz Stacey on whether her grievance was more about the clutter or whether she was worried about her kids being spoiled. “It’s a combination of the two,” she explained.
