JesssFam: And Kitty Makes Ten! (Part 92)

[Chatabox]

It's also why youtubers can afford to buy a shit ton of stuff in an attempt to make viral videos.
For an example, if they fill a swimming pool with orbies for a video, they could most likely be able to right it off as a "bussiness exspense" since they were using it in a video. Or when youtubers like Roman Atwood filled his house with plastic balls. He probably wrote that off as a bussiness exspense.
It's the reason that youtubers are able to do and buy so much stuff (which in my opinion makes them all seem a lot wealthier than they are), along with the fact that they get many things for free as a part of a sponsorship.

I've said this before, but they are also able to write off around 50% of their living expenses since they "work" out of their home. I worked from home as s freelance writer for a while and was able to write off a portion of my monthly bills...mortgage, electricity, internet. And don't forget mileage. Anytime they film driving...going someplace for the vlog or going to a store to buy something for the vlog is a tax write-off.

This makes me want to start a youtube channel and vlog my time.....sounds pretty nice....

Non American here - Doesn't it just mean that their tax bill at tax time is lower? Or in the case of doing so much, it may be non-existent. Would they actually get the extra money refunded if they claimed so much expenses that it surpassed their taxable amount?

[ApplePie]

Yes, exactly. And with her five deductions (aka, kids) she is probably getting a hefty tax refund. Also justifies her being on MediCal (state sponsored health care that she doesn't pay for) because her "expenses" outweigh her income. So basically she can say, "Yeah, I make $7,000 a month (from that screenshot a few pages back) but I spend most of that on my "job," so I really don't make that much."

I couldn't imagine spending 3-5k a year on dance, and dance alone. But then again I think dance girls are bratty snobs. Lilia is going to end up like the kids on the show dance moms cause that's all she's ever been exposed to

Umm so apparently Natalie's sister goes to the same studio​ as Jess and Lilia? How small is Molesto??

I just think it's crazy Lilia has only ever been in dance (I believe). I know she does a short one-week cheerleading thing once a year, but what about letting her try other things? I remember we saw in past videos Lilia begging to do gymnastics, but Jess has never let that happen even though she takes her other kids there. What about soccer? Softball/t-ball?

I had to laugh when Jess posted the other day Lilia received an award for being at the dance studio for 5 years straight. The girl is only 6 freaking years old! She's been conditioned since birth that dance is best since that's what Jess used to do. Too bad for Jess though, since clearly she and Lilia both are average-below average dancers. No rhythm whatsoever.

She's conditioning her to be exactly like her, sadly. Lilia will probably get pregnant by 15/16 and she's going to be very self centered... Although I'd laugh if after all of the dance and Princess girly stuff she turns out to be butchest lesbian.

Lilia sucks at dancing lol I know she is only six but girl has no rhythm whatsoever. When you see her in a group she always seems to be the one not knowing the dance moves or off beat.

That's probably because she's either too hyper to focus, in too many classes, or Jessss has convinced her that her moves are the best.

Yup. Probably the latter. Let's not forget who we are talking here:

That is just a new level of awkward. I hope the twins never watch this.

Because Jessssss.

[snarkyblonde]

How many fucken times is she gonna say LITERALLY, PRETTY MUCH, FOR THE MOST PART, SHE'S HUGE, and SPECIFICALLY

Also at 5:54 she says "pretty much lost a child and brought her back" is she fucken serious? That's a slap in the face to those who have really lost a child. She didn't lose Addie then brought her back to life. She never fucken died.

Thank you. This drove me crazy. She's so disgusting

I'm so tired of listening to her talk about the baby's damn hair! Chris is still hoping for red hair?! How is that not weird?! My husband was hoping that our daughter came out looking like me (which she did, same looks & personality..oops lol) but he wasn't talking about it all the time the way Chris does. It seems like he's obsessing over it way too much.

And as for Jessica's weight, if I were to just meet her without knowing her pre-pregnancy weight I would think she looks okay.

You would think that after Addie "died" that they wouldn't fuss over her red hair and just hope that she remains healthy!

[ArielLipstick]

I don't think there's anything wrong with Lilia spending a ton of time in dance classes if it's something she really loves. Who cares if she has zero hope of being a professional dancer? Most girls don't. I would only be concerned if Jesssss seriously has hopes of Lilia being famous. Like yeah, it's weird that Jess is so obsessed with turning Lilia into a mini-Jess.

But some of you guys are talking like if Lilia doesn't go professional then her dancing is a waste of time. She's 6. Maybe it's just fun for her.

[Lyanna]

I didn't say that if she doesn't make it at a professional dancer then her dancing is a waste of time. I said if Jess' aim is to make her famous dance wise then she should seriously reconsider because Lilia doesn't look like a future professional dancer at all. Girls her age who have the desire to become professionals look nothing like her on stage and are on a whole other level.

If she's dancing for fun it's definitely not a waste of time, but she seriously sucks at dancing from what we saw so instead of taking half a dozen classes maybe she should take less to focus and improve. In her recitals she's always the late one and doesn't seem to know the moves, she has to watch the girl next to her and then do the move. Maybe give your kid the opportunity to focus on one or two styles so she can have fun dancing without looking completely lost. I really think dance can teach many skills in life like how to focus, try your best to do better, work hard to achieve your goals and this is the case for many dancers who do it for fun but taking 30 minutes of a class isn't going to teach her that.

Anyway that was just my opinion so moving on.

I agree^^. One or two classes would be fine for fun, but she should be introducing her to other things too since clearly dance isn't going to be her thing.

Didn't Lilia want to quit dance and do gymnastics? It seems like a waste when she isn't that into it. Jess is making her live her dream.

"6 MONTH UPDATE | MY POSTPARTUM BELLY!" Recap

Some ~artsy~ shots of Addelyn's smile, toes, etc.
Addie is 19 1/2 pounds now and between 9-18 month clothing depending on the brand (and is in one fugly romper) and in size 4 diapers.
She has started solids (as seen on the Mother's Day video) and is still mostly just eating avocado, although bananas are next on the list...uh, aren't you supposed to do veggies first?
She prefers spoon feeding instead of hand feeding and is still mainly nursing, but does not comfort nurse.
She was sleeping through the night but now not so much anymore because Jess is nervous with the sleep apnea. While explaining this, Addie grabs Jess's camera (not the one recording) by the strap and chews the strap. She is still using the sleep apnea monitor.
-quick cut, Addie went to sleep-
She doesn't use the monitor when right on or next to Jess so Jess constantly checks her breathing because of this. The monitor doesn't go off as much anymore, thankfully. Babies with CSA are supposed to outgrow the condition by 6 or 12 months (yes? no?).
She still has no teeth. Quick comparison to other kids - Kyson had 2, Lilia and Kaden had none, Landen she wasn't sure.
Talking about amber teething necklaces and how they work for her kids.
She rolls and has recently started crawling (as previously seen in videos).
Asking for recommendations on baby gates for the stairs...uhhh...if you have a newborn that you know is going to be mobile, why would you get a house with stairs?
She has been sitting up for a while and goes from sitting to crawling and crawling to sitting.
She loves baths and takes 3-4 short naps a day, usually no longer than an hour.
She used to hate the car but is getting better with it.
She doesn't "talk" a lot but does a "talking scream" occasionally.
She's definitely the biggest kid but not sure if she's the longest. Definitely going to be a blue eyed child (duh).
More hair talk (groan). Thinks Addie will be a strawberry blonde.
Jess postpartum - almost down to pre-Addie-pregnancy weight but nowhere near goal (pre-any-baby-weight). She's comfortable where she is and is happy where she is. I will say she looks much better after 5 kids than I do after 1

ugh baby led weaning literally means you are feeding them exactly what you are eating for meals....it takes a lot of work and healthy eating, something jess won't do. You have to be careful about how to cut food and watch your child like a hawk to make sure they are safe. You have to make healthy, whole food choices for the whole family so your babe is getting the best nutrition possible, since they are eating exactly what you are. hearing her misuse the term is seriously driving me nuts. Giving your kid avocado chunks isn't BLW. There are no "first foods", there are just family meals. I think this is a sore subject for me because I did so much research on it to make sure I did it "right" that it's a huge pet peeve to hear people claim they're doing BLW but are really just feeding their kids normal food!

Nothing wrong at all with feeding your kid purees or normal "first foods", just don't say you're doing BLW when you clearly aren't.

[CypKitty]

Someone mentioned above that Lilia should be more articulate in her dancing seeing as she's done it so long and I agree! It's obviously not her thing. My friends 4 year old does all the dances and dances a lot better then Lilia (and the amount of classes omg). Where as my almost 5 year old does it for fun and is your typical child dancing at hat age - just like Lilia. Dunno why jess pushed it so much. Oh yes that's right, because jess did it
