Re: The Lindquists
I didn't like how she told him he wasn't going to wear diapers anymore. Forde is a smart and sensitive kid and if he has accidents it might cause him to think he isn't doing good especially if she stops potty training and goes back to diapers.

Re: The Lindquists
I really like her but I am not a fan of E&J and wish she wouldn't look to them for parenting advice! It makes me cringe when she mentionsaw how they potty train Jackson, when just the other day Jackson was in a diaper all day. Every kid is different and I have no doubt if she just have patience and let ford do his thing he will get fast. He's a smart kid and I love that they never seem to make him "profirm" for the camera. It's almost like he doesn't even notice it or care. He just goes on with his day and enjoys his life. I honestly love that about them and I believe they are way better than E&J and Daily bumps!!!

Re: The Lindquists
I'm not an expert on potty training but I'm not sure if she's going about it the right way.
She said he didn't even KNOW that he was peeing the first time. He's just not ready. Just because other children are training doesn't mean she has to push forde into something he's not ready for.

Re: The Lindquists
Also seems ridiculous to start potty training on Thanksgiving (Canadian) and while she's sleep training Cohen. Is she trying to be super Mom? Having all those people over probably really distracted Forde. He would just want to play and have fun and not stop for the potty. Its much easier to potty train when you have nothing else going on and you can just be home all day with no distractions.

Re: The Lindquists
Yes I think she is trying to be super mom. Like I said in one of my previous posts, I think she does a lot of stuff for the camera. This doesn't mean she's a bad or fake mom, I just think she handles things differently when not being filmed. Potty training being a fine example.

Re: The Lindquists
I must be the odd one out it but this family ANNOY me SO much!!! :/ From The way Elle always laughs at every single 'joke' she makes (which are never funny btw)... to her and Dan thinking Forde is some kind of advanced child or something :/ I noticed a few comments after Dan had mentioned in a video that they think Forde is advanced in his speech (the commenters didn't agree) , and they got all defensive lol. I don't think he's advanced at all, he just seems like your average typical 2 year old... his speech isn't 'advanced'. She definitely seems like she puts this front on for the camera ...

Re: The Lindquists
I think forde has pretty good communication skills but I don't have a lot to compare to. He doesn't seem like some gifted child that is so advanced like they make him seem. I mean everyone wants to think their child is ahead of the game but forde seems right on par with everything.

Re: The Lindquists
You are not alone Daisy! They annoy me too! I can't stand how Elle acts like she's so healthy and fit but then doesn't seem to care about the health and safety of her children. She called baby led weaning a fad and then gave her 5 month old rice cereal which is one of the most unhealthiest things you can give a baby. It has no nutritious value. "some people say solids at 4 months and some say 6 month so we went with 5 months" how about look at the research. 6 months is the current recommended age by all health organizations. I just really hate how she picks and chooses where to be "crunchy"

Re: The Lindquists
Going along with the picking and choosing when to be crunchy, in surprised they didn't cloth diaper. She's a sahm and she seems like the type that would do that.
I agree with the rice cereal thing, I've heard it's like the worst to give to babies because it has zero nutritional value (feel free to correct me). She seems to want to push her kids to do things before they're ready just because other moms on youtube are doing it with their children

Re: The Lindquists
Forde seems to be picking up on potty training really well, but I hope they stop showing/talking about it in every video. They don't need to mention every time he pees on the potty (plus it's just the same thing over and over so they can't disguise it as being helpful for other parents or something).
Re: The Lindquists
Im so glad im not the only one who they annoy! lol!! Elle trys to appear 'perfect' , perfect at fitness/diet... perfect mum.... perfect wife etc etc etc.... its so irritating :/Princessyen12 wrote:You are not alone Daisy! They annoy me too!

and yes the rice cereal thing! It seemed she really had no idea about starting solids.... she completely ignored the comments about rice cereal too ...
She has this "I'm a superior mum an my kid is perfect" attitude....

Re: The Lindquists
So they're doing a giveaway for a fitness plan with tone it up. They asked people to comment why they want the plan.
It seems like they're picking based on which story they like the best. That seems a little unfair to me. They should randomly pick, and then go from there.

Re: The Lindquists
OMG whats with her eyebrows in the latest vid??????!!! She explained in previous vids that she left the eyebrow colour on too long, hence the dark colour.... but it looks like she's filled them in with pencil and drew them on thicker???? omg they look awful... does she not look in the mirror before she leaves the house

Re: The Lindquists
Her eyebrows have been terrible lately. Like absolutely terrible. They're filled in way too dark and uneven. I mean she likes a thicker brow so whatever but if you're going to do that at least try and make it look decent. Like that's all I can look at!!
Also, why does Dan always have to flex, or have his shirt off. Like sure, he's an attractive man but that just comes off as vain. Like why would you flex to show that you donated blood?
I will admit her voice overs are really funny to me though haha
