Did you guys see the recent video? I refuse to rewatch and wasnt paying enough attention when she was talking about having another home birth. Did she say they were planning the same as the last time? No midwife, no nothing? She said something about them realizing they were put in a few situations they didnt need to be in, was she refering to the home birth last time or the hospital births she has had??
Also, where does she deliver at home? That house is the size of a shoe box, Im sur ethere is a video but Im not wanting to go back and watch them all. Do the kids stay home? Do they help with the birth?
And she diagnosed herself with lacking in progesterone?
Listen, I'm not one to judge how a family's dynamics work, but this family is a little bonkers IMO. Homeschooling is GREAT for some families (my best friend was homeschooled w 7 siblings & she's going to law school), but I just can't get over how strangely Andrea does her homeschooling. Sure, the kids seem to do the work they need to do, and sometimes even work ahead, but they're lacking severely in the social interaction category. Thomas has 2 friends, whom seem just as awkward as he is, and I never see the other ones playing with anyone besides their relatives. The only time they leave the house to interact with non-relatives is when they go to the library. I wish they would sign their kids up for SOMETHING outside of their own family. They don't even have to be athletic, but join scouts or a youth group, or literally anything! In a few years Thomas will need to get a real life job, and unless he wants to work with his dad in their basement for the rest of his life, he'll never succeed in an interview situation. They don't have any life experiences that don't involve their yearly trip to a church conference, or buying the bread for their family. The kids are all so sweet, and some seem to be very bright, but I feel like they aren't being permitted to reach their fullest potential at all. I agree with everyone else about watching them as a cringey type of entertainment. I also am curious to see where they squeeze this new baby (no matter the gender) in their little house. So far it has worked for them, but they surely can't fit 4 total girls in that one queen sized bed, nor can Tom build another shoebox bed in the boys' room. Time will tell I guess!
I do have to say, though, that I am very impressed with the amount of discipline their kids have. They all tend to a garden together, have specific chores, and seem to do what they're told to do 99% of the time (in videos at least). I do wish that she would monetize their videos. Had she just done that a few years back, and just kept saving whatever it produced, they could probably have added on another room to the house by now.

That's one thing that confuses me most about her. For someone so into herbs, and natural things, you'd think she would be all over the organic/home grown foods! I know obviously that kids enjoy junk food, but she and Tom aren't very fit and healthy. It's a little counterproductive IMO to be so obsessive about natural remedies, yet still buying Zebra Cakes, Mountain Dew, and other junk food as snacks on the regular grocery list.
So I've been thinking lately that Andrea looks really familiar but I couldn't quite pick it. Well today it hit me. She has a striking resemblance to the woman on the Australian $20 note.

Exactly. She's talking out of her ass. Mountain Dew is like one of the worst soft drinks out there. Maybe she should create a natural remedy for her and her husband's sugar addiction.
For a while weren't they making soda at home, or am I totally making that up? Lol. I will say, a lot of their dinners are *decently* healthy. I mean, she's not the queen of health by any means, but it's better to have tacos or spaghetti than it is to have Subway or takeout. I wish she'd stop eating/feeding her kids so much damn sugar. Especially during this pregnancy, I hope she steps up her health game. It makes me nervous that she's doing unassisted home birth/pregnancy, while still eating like a 13 y/o lol

She'll probably just throw them all in the boys' room since it's in the basement lol. Unless their one grandma comes to get them, I could see her keeping them there. Maybe she explained it in the last birth video with Claudia?? Not sure
I hope she has a boy, because there would already be a bed for him. The poor girls all have to sleep in one bed. I would hope she would get the girls bunk beds if she has one but for some reason I can't imagine that happening.
Well shit. Another kid. Yay. Poor baby. Seriously are there no homeschool regulations in the state they're in? I get that she wants her children to be illiterate and brainwashed so they can depend on her and never leave to live their own lives but damn...there should be someone to prevent her from doing that, shouldn't there?
The above comment is not about you. It's about the Youtuber whose name I'm mentioning in said comment. Please do not take it personally. Thank you for understanding
Unfortunately, there aren't that many restrictions in Wyoming. There is not a standardized testing restriction, the only requirements are that she submit proof of curriculum and a portfolio for each other children and her intent to homeschool them. I wish all states had a standardized testing requirement.
Am I the only one who found it a bit shitty that she got her niece a birthday gift at the dollar tree. Their toys are super shitty. I mean she didn’t have to buy a ton both ffs she couldn’t swing $20 a Walmart.
