E+J: NEW HOUSE DRAMA DAILY - Part 16

[lmmomSD]

This is totally off the house topic, although I agree with everything that has been said so far. And my point is totally shallow.
This romper is totally a Glamour Don't. I don't understand why an adult would wear a romper anyway.

And am I weird for thinking that she and Bonnie don't look right wearing those booties with pants that only come to their ankles and show this bare spot of skin between pants and bootie? Bonnie did it the other day.

I agree 100%. The middle pic is ok. The first one is just awful (and makes her look like a dude) and the third just makes no sense.

Ellie seems to get a lot of smaller fashion related sponsors, whereas Bonnie gets larger company-based ones. Ellie's are more like those of IG stars. I wonder why that is?

Ugh I don't mind the second or third picture but that first one is absolutely atrocious.

I like the door but isn't the overall theme of the house "light and bright". The exterior seems to be the complete opposite. I would think the door will look out of place from the inside.

It might look better if it cinched at the natural waist...it's too low and makes her look frumpy. The casual look isn't awful, but the other two are so ugly. Also, I can't stand Ellie's Instagram smile. When she tries hard to look good while she smiles it ends up looking like she's smelling poop.

I don't really have a problem with bedrooms being located in the basement (as long as it has a window, though a guest room without a window would be fine).

What I have a problem with is putting a young child to sleep alone, completely isolated from the rest of the family, separated by a flight of stairs. If they were on the main floor and Jackson were on the second floor alone it would still be just as bad.

It would be slightly better if Calvin had a bedroom on the floor as Jackson or if they were sharing a bedroom, even though I think being on the same floor as their parents at such a young age would be best for many reasons. Both for the children and Jared and Ellie.

I really hope they reconsider this. I don't know a single child who would feel comfortable with this setup. A lot of them would be downright terrified as they often have night where they have trouble being alone in their own rooms, even when it's right next to their parents, due to bad dreams or being scared or whatever.

I hope Ellie doesn't traumatize Jackson by forcing him to be a "big boy" before he is ready.

My oldest son sleeps in the basement, but that definitely was never the plan! We had another baby when he was 7, and it was share a room or move to the basement. We added an egress window, and built a bedroom that was as safe as possible. I stressed a lot about having him on a different floor. I can't imagine building a house and intentionally moving a 3 year old into the basement. Isn't the benefit of building so you can customize things to your family's needs?

If I lived my life in the public eye, and had made my new neighbourhood so easily searchable, I absolutely would never have my child on a separate floor from me.

They FINALLY addressed Calvin's neck issues in today's vlog. He's having a minor corrective procedure done today. I don't get why they were secretive about it as opposed to other personal things they've shared with the world but whatever. Just glad Calvin is getting the help he needs.

As soon as I saw the thumbnail I knew that Jared would be talking about it and there's be no word from Ellie. I wonder how truthful they were being when Jared said he's been seeing a physical therapist and chiropractor for over a year and a specialist for a couple months. Plus saying he's been wearing the collar for a couple months. Of course that totally could be the case but I sure have a lot of trouble believing that. It doesn't make sense because they were not secretive about the issues a year ago, it was no big deal. But once things started to get worse and not improve, they all the sudden got secretive about it...in my opinion they stopped talking about it because nothing was being done (or just the chiro) and they didn't want to admit it. If they were actively seeking help I don't see any reason for them to have stopped talking about it. They were not getting hate and it was nothing to be ashamed of. They showed the chiro for a while but we never heard about the PT again...and that was before the breathing issues. Things just don't add up. They got quiet about the neck sort of around the same time as when they got a ton of flack about the not breathing incidences. Technically they could have stopped talking about all health issues then and that's just why we never heard about his neck again, but I'm still having trouble believing that. And when they were getting a ton of hate about how awful his neck looked, why would you not want the world to know you're doing everything you can to fix it? It just made them look negligent to not...that doesn't fit with their perfect family image. I definitely wonder if this procedure would have been necessary if they took care of this properly in the beginning. If they have actually been doing what they say though, I am at least happy for Calvin that he has been getting the care he needs...and certainly happy they're at least doing what needs to be done now. Hopefully Calvin can put this behind him.

So no Ellie anywhere around Jared when he was discussing Calvin's neck issues, anyone else surprised?

I honestly don't think that I have been doing all that they can do for that baby. Had Ellie not been such a dumbass and buried her head in the sand Poor Calvin probably wouldn't have to have surgery.

I agree 100%.

The way Ellie treats the neck issue is very telling to me. I wonder if Calvin started getting help again after Jared's parents became concerned? The fact that Ellie seems uninterested or removed from the treatment, makes me think she doesn't agree with it, or has bad feelings about something involving it. It's just not like her to let Jared handle things, let alone something involving the children's health.

We give Bryan a ton of crap for not going to doctor's appointments. This to me is much far more serious than that and Ellie certainly has the time to be more involved. Staying out of it like she did was a passive aggressive move from the start.

[workfromhomemom]

I'm glad they are doing something and I really hope Jared was being honest that he has received treatment that long. I'm just glad he's getting treatment. I wonder if they had no choice but to talk about it because of this procedure. I'm curious what is going to be done. It's sad Ellie can't show a united front with her husband on this.

Does anyone else think the timing is a little suspicious that this information comes just a few days after someone on here noticed the brace in the background? Now all of a sudden then they are filming him wearing the brace and being open about his torticollis. Hi Ellie!

Also, does anyone know what "little procedure" he may be having?

I've seen people mention it in the comments on the vlogs, and on IG (or Twitter?).

I'm not surprised they are addressing it at all. They pretty much have to now that the secret is out.

[lmmomSD]

There's a YouTube video of the surgery if anyone is interested. Obviously it's not Calvin's surgery. I'm glad they are addressing it, but I have a hard time believing that they have been all along. I think maybe his pediatrician gave them a Come to Jesus talk at his one year checkup, or maybe Jared's parents or just all the questions and comments on the vlogs finally got to them. There's an article saying that kids with congenital torticollis have a higher risk for ADHD and autism spectrum disorders.

Here's the link for the article: http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/939858-treatment

I am happy to see they have finally gotten Calvin help. I firmly believe they didn't handle it until the Spring and the doctors in Salt Lake set them straight. (the docs who they saw for the breathing episodes) It wasn't until then that we saw any improvement at all. If treated earlier I bet they wouldn't have to have this procedure done. And I think they only addressed it now because how can he have a procedure done and not tell?? He will obviously have bandaging or a neck brace or swelling/bruising. How could they explain that. It is shameful that Ellie wasn't talking about it. She is a horrible mother. And a horrible wife.

[staceyeileen]

I honestly don't think he's been seeing a specialist or wearing a brace for longer than about a month. Probably right when Ellie mentioned that Jared was taking Calvin to an appointment. I recall two times where she said that in the past month.

[Playsinrain]

Which vlog was the collar seen in the background?

[nutbagmcgee]

I also think that they are only talking about it now is because they got caught with him wearing the brace and people are calling them out in the comments.
