Bonnie and Joel: Don't Call Me Bud - Part 5

[MommaLindsey2]

Ok seriously I wish Bonnie would lower the crib mattress! He is going to climb out and fall on his head! Look she asked him if he wanted out and he was able to get a leg up without even trying. Ugh you are supposed to lower it as soon or before they start pulling up.

I hope you posted this before you finished the video because she mentions Joel lowered it and showed it lowered in the video.

yes I did. I saw they lowered it when I got further in the video. It is way to late though, thankfully he never fell and hurt himself before now.
My 9 month old is a little crazy and practically climbs out of his pack n play so he would have fallen out of there before now if his crib were like that. I do really like Bonnie I just side eye her safety concerns sometimes.

I really like her haircut it looks cute. Olivia has those moments where I find her annoying, when she was all over Lincoln's gift jaja is that age. I miss Boston's raspy voice.

I know they are only kids, but I wish Bonnie and Joel would teach the kids some manners about opening other people's gifts. The snatching and screaming / whining was too much, I actually turned it off.

I absolutely loved Lincoln's simple birthday party at the park. You can tell Joel's dad just loves Lincoln so much. I didn't see it as big deal that she "forgot" his birthday because most people celebrate birthdays on the weekend anyways. I was so glad obnoxious, self absorbed Ellie and Jared didn't make an appearance. I love that Bonnie always ends the kids birthday vlogs with each kid saying what they love about the birthday kid.

The difference is that there are people who don't admit to being hypocritical, I appreciate that you can admit that there are parenting choices you give Bonnie a pass for that you wouldn't think twice about ripping Ellie/missy apart for.

Why does it even matter if people admit to being hypocritical? You think they are hypocrites, why do they have to agree with your opinion?


I like Bonnie, I like Joel, I do give them passes because the good outweighs the bad. No one is perfect. I think she is a good (but old school) mom. Can I say that about Missy and Ellie. Absolutely not.
She adores her kids, they are clean, well loved, she does things with them, she lets them be kids.
She also sucks at car seat safety, feeds them junk all the time and lets them roam the neighborhood.

I am sure if we all put You Tube videos up of ourselves, each one of us would find flaws in another. I am uber anal about car seat safety and feed my kids well but I yell at my kids. You may be lax about car seat safety and feed your children Lunchables daily but act like Mary Poppins. Would my good outweigh my bad? Who knows? Would yours?

Do Bonnies good mom moments outweigh her bad?
Do Missys?
Do Ellies?

Sorry, I wasn't trying to say that people need to agree with my opinion or anything. What I was mainly trying to say about the hypocritical thing is that it can at times be frustrating that some people will dismiss things Bonnie's done, that they previously nagged Ellie or missy about. I.e., Jackson being in their front area by himself vs Boston being in the front area by himself. Do you know what I mean?

There are many people here who like Bonnie, that admit that she has faults, like HelloSweetie for example. But there are a few that don't.

I think everyone is allowed to have their own opinion about Bonnie, and I respect that. I just wish both sides were allowed to express it more freely without either side trying to shut it down. KWIM?
