Re: 8 Remodeled Passengers | Part 6
I remember Chad always complaining about nothing for friends to do when they come over, no gaming consoles, no outdoor chairs, there were other things too, which makes me think he is ashamed, or embarrassed about how he's growing up, and not enjoying his childhood compared to his friends, and other Mormon families, including his Aunties & cousins who he sees enjoying all these perks. Ruby the last few months has changed so much, she got the Xbox, got the outdoor chairs, got him his lizard, vacations and new van and friends have been over all the time. It must be confusing for the kids not knowing what Ruby they're gonna get, cool mom or mean old fashioned mom.

Re: 8 Remodeled Passengers | Part 6
I think that one of the reasons why Chad doesn't like his school is because he has to go there. He was homeschooled by Ruby which basically meant doing nothing productive all day and I feel like that he (being a teenage boy) would love to be homeschooled again because that would mean sitting on the couch all day playing xbox.

Re: 8 Remodeled Passengers | Part 6
My favorite comment from the "family meeting" video.
"Pressure on kids look like this. Sherri crying over an A- Russell self soothing on a stuffy. Chat not being able to express his dislike of school. Another kid having to be a marshmallow. 4 our of 6 kids with issues. Good work Ruby!"
I'll go ahead and round it up to all 6 kids with Abby's "delicate" stomach issues and Eve's acting out (although I will say she seems much improved).

Re: 8 Remodeled Passengers | Part 6
Why does Kevin always look so annoyed? Am I the only one who notices that? I mean I cant blame him too much when the only time his wife greets him is with a camera in his face. I can't decide how I feel about him. He seems like an ass, and then seems normal, and then seems like a brainwashed Mormon husband. Idk.
I loved ruby's comment "That comes with time on the xbox" really? She sounded like she was talking to a child.
Also, eve saying Chad is a bad boy lol. His anger issues need to be addressed. Although I think they have, ruby seems to be retreating into some type of denial about it.

Maybe because there's not a moment that goes by that the kids aren't yanking, pulling, and jumping all over him. He literally can't breathe or even take a peaceful shower when he's home. But he chose to create 6 kids and marry Ruby, that's his fault.
Re: 8 Remodeled Passengers | Part 6
I've also noticed Kevin looking annoyed at times but I understand him, their whole situation is crazy. None of them have control of their lives at the moment and the kids have picked up on that as well. The children's life outside the vlogging life seems very affected.
Kevin is somehow still awake and aware of the real world and maybe thinks about the consequences of their choices while Ruby is still a little bit clueless and keeps on going and pushes the kids as well. Kevin could stop the everyday vlogging if he wanted to. I remember when Ruby said that Kevin never ever complains about her, but some of us viewers have noticed the frustration in his face. I wonder if he is afraid of angering her, partners who are married to so called people with narcissistic behavior tend to be passive, tag along.

Re: 8 Remodeled Passengers | Part 6
I think Kevin looks at Ruby like he thinks she is just dumb as a box of rocks half the time. He's a smart man and you know Ruby gives him no challenge intellectually. I mean what would there conversation even be about other than the kids, the things she wants to purchase and things she wants to complain about?
If she wants to know where chad gets the complaining from she should probably look in the mirror. She complains and is burnt out about doing basic tasks, has to take naps and sleeps in. I only have 2 kids and don't remember the last time I've had time for a nap.

Re: 8 Remodeled Passengers | Part 6
Remind me: does Kevin have siblings? I vaguely remember someone mentioning them but I don't think I've ever seen them. I also vaguely remember some kind of festivity in which they had loads of tables out at the Franke's and that made me think his family must also be very large. Ruby sees her siblings so often, I wonder why Kevin doesn't. Especially on his birthday- he gets Julie and her husband...
Also, she waited until the *day of* to get him a present. And even then she wanted to get him a wedding band with a Ruby? What? It's his birthday, not their anniversary and the addition of a Ruby just makes it all about her instead of about him. And Shari recycled that stupid candy/poster that she did last year for a friend. None of it seemed very thoughtful to me.. as if they didn't really think of Kevin as an individual with a personality, likes and dislikes.

Re: 8 Remodeled Passengers | Part 6
Hi all! I have been lurking these forums for a while, and I decided to make an account!
Did Kevin ever mention that his mom's name is Shari? I found this article celebrating his dad's birthday:
http://www.standard.net/Birthdays/2014/ ... iam-Franke
Kevin has 6 older half-siblings...some are probably older than Ruby's parents. He also has *36* nieces & nephews, some of which are likely older than him too. It's interesting that they're never even talked about in the vlogs.sasperillo wrote:Remind me: does Kevin have siblings?

Re: 8 Remodeled Passengers | Part 6
Welcome! Thanks for the info! That's weird... 36 nieces and nephews, some older than him? I guess with that many brothers and sisters, and them being Mormon, it shouldn't surprise me. I mean, even Ellie has what, 12 nieces and nephews? Probably more because I didn't count Beau's kids.skrt09 wrote:Hi all!

Re: 8 Remodeled Passengers | Part 6
That's really interesting about Kevin's family. I've never heard of Mormons getting divorced and re-married, although my only info on Mormons comes from the Griffiths/Mechams lol.
The reason I came here to post was yet again to complain about what Ruby feeds her kids. Refried bean spread and cheese rolled onto a white tortilla is NOT a burrito. Lady, get some lettuce, tomatoes, bell peppers, green onions, etc. She feeds her children CRAP!

Re: 8 Remodeled Passengers | Part 6
She really does. It was one thing when they were broke but now they have a lot more money and she still feeds them cheap, carb filled crap. Where’s the meat, vegetables and fruit?!strawberry_smoothie wrote:That's really interesting about Kevin's family.

And for someone who used to have very little money she doesn't know how to make best use of a large chicken! You don't make soup with it first! I'm English so maybe it is different but we would roast the chicken, have a meal with potatoes/ rice, veg and what we call gravy (thickened stock). Then with the bones and the meat left over you'd cut of any large bits of meat you could use for sandwiches then boil the rest to make soup. The soup would still have bits of meat in, because there is always some you don't get off the bone, plus stock from the bones. Then bulk out the soup with whatever you fancy (Ruby could add noodles and spinach for instance).
I'm 25, I swear the above is just basic knowledge. It is the kind of thing I learnt at scouts!
She also gave her sick 6 year old a large bottle of gatorade! He needs water and if he is actually dehydrated then add a kids dehydration sachet. But unless he has vomited repeatedly at age 6 he is unlikely to be deficient in electrolytes after 1/2 phlegmy vomits (obviously smaller kids get dehydrated more quickly). A sick child does not need anything that is bright blue!
Then there was the super grossness from Ruby AND Kevin. The suggestive eyebrow raising at the camera etc. Their children are school age, showing affection I don't have an issue with, it is healthy but all the suggestive stuff is just unnecessary, people don't need to know you have a healthy sex life, especially not your children's friends. Let it be implicit from the genuine care and affection you show eachother without being gross!
Re: 8 Remodeled Passengers | Part 6
It turns out that Shari does have a middle name, she mentioned it at the end of the vlog - I wonder if the other girls do too. A surprise math quiz brought Shari's grade up to a 95%, which is only an A, not an A+ ? It's good that she cares about her education and sets high goals, but she shouldn't stress herself out so much.

Re: 8 Remodeled Passengers | Part 6
Yes they have mentioned that Kevin's mom is named Shari. They did a video on the names about 2 years ago titled "Stop lying to me" where Ruby says it was actually her mom (Jennifer) who suggested she name her Shari.
Re: 8 Remodeled Passengers | Part 6
That's interesting cause I always wondered how mother Griffith dealt with the fact that Kevin and Ruby named the first grandchild after Kevins mother and not her but it all make sense now why she's ok with it, she suggested the name like she does with every other decision in her daughter's lives.Defuego wrote:Yes they have mentioned that Kevin's mom is named Shari.
