She
is a 13 year old (mentally and emotionally) in a grown woman's body. I gave her the benefit of the doubt and said 14 years old, but either way, she never matured mentally or emotionally past the age of a teenager. If you keep that in mind when watching her it all makes sense.
She talks like a teenage LA Valley Girl circa 1990, and she acts the same. She's into herself, makeup, being/acting silly, making faces, eating candy, sleeping in. The rare times she "cooks" it's things a teenager learning to cook would make, casseroles from condensed soup, comfort food, things from a box like mac 'n cheese or hamburger helper type things.
She's intellectually stunted and lazy; her vocabulary is dismal and consists of "awesome" and "cool" and "amazing." She mispronounces words and I think the babytalk is actually a function of her own stunted mental and emotional growth, combined with her poor vocabulary skills. She thinks it's cute because 13 yr old girls think that kind of talk is cute and inside she is mentally 13. Notice she doesn't ever read books or articles. She has no curiosity about how the world works. There are so many resources available but she doesn't avail herself of any of them. Neither does Bison.
This is not something that will likely ever change. This is as far as she's evolved. She is probably forever 13/14 years old inside and no amount of getting angry at her will alter the reality. Teenagers are oppositional, insolent, know-it-alls, bratty, and self-centered, which is exactly how she acts. It all makes sense in context.
Spruce, interesting post!
Here's a bit more from Ashley's own words (from her livefeed 4/17) about how she was parented:
Transcript 4/2017:
And guess what? I sat on the kitchen counter....My aunt loves to tell this story...I sat up on the kitchen counter and I dumped an entire gallon of milk on the counter and my mom laughed at me. She thought it was hillarious. She thought it was so funny and my aunt was freaking out and my mom was like "let her do it, it's not a big deal." And guess what? I don't sit on kitchen counters now and dump milk on the counter. (laugh) I don't believe it! I never learned manners (mocking) and I for sure (sarcastic) sit on our counters and dump milk every where...
Andddd, I survived my childhood okay and pretty much lived on fruit roll ups alone so...Sorry Mom. My Mom did NOT cook
EVER (makes dramatic hand gesture). She was not a "cooker." I survived on cereal which oooohhh my gosssshhh (dramatic gestures) you guys the cereal debaucle that we get. The cereal comments like oh my gosh HOW MUCH SUGAR ARE YOU FEEDING YOUR KIDS? Yeah (really defiantly) I am! ...11:32 because that's the way I choose to parent. And if you don't than that's fine... I am fully aware that the cereal I feel my kids has sugar in it. (more laughing) And I'm okay with it soooo...just to put that to rest...I'm totally cool with it 11:05 (more laughing) It's NOT bothering me! Do I wish my kids ate more healthy? YEAH. Is that going to start with me? (dramatic gesture to self) Probably. Do I eat healthy? NO!...
Granted infertility can happen for many reasons but there's a very strong link between diet and endometriosis. I'm not buying this permissive parenting BS.
Doesn't seem, based on most of the stories Ashley's shared from her upbringing, like much was expected? Ashley seems to rebuke any parent who tries to put any effort into proper nutrition or structure and paints them as obsessive and uptight. Right, everyone should just abandon any structure whatsoever for their children according to Ashley and Tyson? Can you imagine that society?
I can't imagine feeding my kids a load of crap, telling them to dump a whole gallon of milk all over and laughing. Do we have fun in our house? YES! Structure can be a lot of fun and a major confidence booster.
It seems to me Ashley's whole life is set up for people to take care of her. From eating out, her cleaning person "3 times a week" and Amanda handles most of her Lipsense business. Ashley always needs help with the kids, people organize things for her etc. Even the MLM success is earned by a bunch of her "followers" doing the work of selling and buying stuff with their own money. Her 4 preschoolers do most of the marketing by unknowingly giving up their privacy. She doesn't even seem motivated to drive herself anywhere very often. Ashley, what would you do without all the structured, self disciplined people that seemingly serve your every whim?
It would seem, that according to her own life plan, Ashley just needs to get her 4 girls through to their 13th birthday so they can meet 4 Tyson replicas to marry 2 weeks after their 18th birthday. #parentinggoals
