Origin Story
What’s up? I’m Wendy, but you can call me DubG, the top d-o-g of Wish I Was Grounded—so I’m gonna help you get this straight right here, right now. This isn’t your typical product review site, unless your mom is outright epic. So, how did a stolen credit card and a TikTok frenzy kickstart this whole thing? Let’s unpack it.
It wasn’t a simple shopping spree; it was grand theft plastic. My son lifted my credit card and went wild over several months, culminating in a blowout that topped $1000 during spring break. Yeah, he went full “spring broke” on me. Not the wake-up call I wanted, but the wake-up call I got.
After catching my breath (and securing every card I own), I turned that mess into a message—and a teachable moment. My son is now working off his debt by helping produce video content and more for the site. It’s about accountability, and hey, he’s getting some solid life skills out of it too.
Wish I Was Grounded isn’t just about spilling the tea on products; it’s about cutting through the BS with no-filter reviews that tell you what’s actually worth your money.
And hey, if you’ve been following me on Mom Versus The World, good news: Wish I Was Grounded is slated to be the new HQ for all that DIY magic. We’re bringing everything under one roof, making it the ultimate spot for thriving through the chaos with some real talk and solid advice.
So, let’s dive into some brutally honest reviews, and keep things as real as they get, because nobody’s got time for another sugar-coated sales pitch. But, so you know, our content does contain affiliate links, that we make commision on, but costs you nothing extra.

Rave Reviews: The Crowd Goes Wild!
“Before I buy anything, I always check to see what DubG has to say on Wish I Was Grounded. Her hilarious review of budget-friendly kitchen gadgets was a total lifesaver last month. She recommended a multi-functional blender that was half the price of those top-shelf brands everyone raves about. Not only did it work like a charm, but her funny stories about her own kitchen mishaps made the decision super easy. It’s like shopping with a friend who knows all the secrets and isn’t shy about sharing the real scoop!”

“I’m the OG fan of DubG’s work since she started MomVersusTheWorld last year, and her sharp insights continue to shine on Wish I Was Grounded. Recently, her review of pet grooming tools was a total win for me. Instead of splurging on a $350 dog trimmer, I went with DubG’s recommendation of the model that cost about 1/10 of that and she’s right, it works wonders! It’s refreshing to see a reviewer who doesn’t just push the most expensive option but rather focuses on what’s best for the consumer. Her honest, practical advice not only saves money but also delivers on performance.”
