I am so sorry to double post, but, I must say, my favorite quote from today's vlog:

Also in yesterday's vlog when Jared meets Ellie at the park and Ellie said she just changed a diaper, was Jackson alone on the playground that far away? Jared said let's go get him and the. Ext shot was Jackson on the slide. I'm by no means a helicopter parent, but that seems much farther than I would be comfortable leaving a 3 year old.

:lol: :lol: :lol: I can't deal with this.
She's so obsessed with wanting and talking about a baby but she has to throw the soon in there because she wants everyone to keep watching and doesn't want it to seem like she can't get pregnant.
Also, in the vlog "We Want to Have a Baby" Jared said "Well there you have it guys, Ellie & I are ready to start trying for a baby." :hail:
Like okay? Why do you make it seem like you're so special and its a groundbreaking announcement?

If Ellie is being forced into having another baby for money, then I'm sorry, but that's something she CAN control. She can lower her expectations, get a real job, put her foot down (like we know she can). I don't understand why people suddenly think Jared has enough power to control Ellie and make her do something she doesn't want to do. Money issues certainly can force her hand, but Jared (as we've seen into past) cannot. Money issues are THEIR PROBLEM, not Jared's problem to deal with solely because he's the man and she's a "stay at home mom." She wanted that big house before Jared was ready. She planned it (along with her mom) and the plan got bigger and grander with very little input from Jared. It was Ellie that said she "always planned these things, and YT had nothing to do with it" meaning Jared was going to have to somehow pull a rabbit out of his hat to meet Ellie's expectations despite making very little money.

These vloggers are choosing to sell their lives out. They are choosing to set themselves up with lifestyles that are making it necessary to plan and script their lives. No one is forcing them into this! It's all a choice, and they can stop and go back to a regular life, with a regular salary anytime. I don't feel sorry for them at all when life gets hard and they have to choose between selling out a piece of themselves and the money.

Don't we all have the ability to sell out our families for money, and just choose not to because it's not worth it? I'll admit I've had some catching up to do, so I've been going back and watching the older vlogs so maybe they are fresher in my mind than everyone else, but I don't understand all the Ellie sympathy lately. It's like some people have been watching very different vlogs.

tldr: if E&J are losing views and therefore need the money, then that is THEIR PROBLEM TOGETHER, and not just Jared's. I disagree that Jared is somehow making Ellie do something she (not he) has been hinting at for months.

Is Calvin developmentally delayed? It dawned on me today that he is almost TWO. Shouldn't he be talking by now? All he does is grunt.

One more thing. It drives me nuts how they say that Calvin is their miracle baby. Ellie acts like it's so shocking that she got pregnant with him "with no cycles". She acts like you have to have a period FIRST and then you ovulate after that. Her "getting pregnant with no cycle" just means that she got pregnant the first time she ovulated. Since you know your period comes AFTER you ovulate and don't get pregnant, Ellie.

We got pregnant with our second son right after getting my iud out, with no period in between. We don't call him a miracle baby. It just so happened that we got pregnant the first time I ovulated. Not exactly a miracle ground breaking conception.

If you ask me the way she got pregnant with Jackson was much more of a "miracle".

I really wonder if Ellie even has PCOS, or if its just the extremely unhealthy weight causing her not to ovulate. Ovulating around 9 months after delivery is pretty normal, she was at a normal weight pp and she ovulated normally...

I'll be very surprised if they get pregnant on their own, actually I'll be surprised if she can even carry a baby at the weight she is currently. I don't wish a miscarriage on anyone, but she is far from healthy. She barely eats and what she does eat is mostly junk. Wouldn't a dr, especially a fertility specialist, suggest she gain some weight first?

I think the whole Calvin is such a miracle is because there is something actually wrong with him health wise, they just aren't sharing it. Which is fine. But everything that's happened (that we know about) and their reaction really points to him having some sort of diagnosis they just don't want to share, hence the favoring, miracle child stuff.

It's kind of weird that with their child fan base, they are discussing this. I can see dinner table conversation. "Mom, what's an IUD? Ellie is having hers taken out"

Although she should have the balls to tell him no, that's she's still not ready. I still sympathize with her because Jared clearly is only thinking about himself and how much he wants a baby right now. Ellie should be thinking about coping and being okay BEFORE ttcing, not thinking that they have 9 months to cope like Jared said.

I agree. I mean, from the car and the discussion about dreading no sleep. While I think Ellie feels pressure to do it now, that doesn't mean I think she's being forced. It just really seems like she's apprehensive, but knows they need views and "why wait? We already plan to have another, why not a year early?" I could imagine the conversation and push from Jared. They are going to milk this whole process, and it's working on me. I've watched more E+J in one week than I had in like in the entire last year.

ETA: This girl normally refers to everything as "so fun!" And "so exciting!" She keeps describing TTCing as "so crazy" and describing how nauseated she was over the thought of it.

And yet YT considers videos with two homosexuals "sensitive content."

Because two adults talking to children about conceiving is normal, and apparently "advertiser friendly" unlike two boyfriends quietly holding hands which is clearly sensitive and abnormal content....

You described my thinking better than I could ahaha.

But yes, 100%. I definitely agree she's not being forced to do something she doesn't want to do, but I feel she is being pressured to do it much sooner than she's ready for. Definitely seems apprehensive.

This may have been mentioned and done already so I apologize if I'm repeating other questions!

In light of this 'news' that a lot of youtubers videos do not show up on restricted mode, has anyone turned it on to see if Ellie and jareds come up? They definitely don't always have kid friendly topics (I.e., ttcing) sorry but a 10 year old doesn't need to know the ins and outs of ttcing.

The comments are restricted (which are mostly chicken anyway), but the vlogs are not.

I don't know if they still do, but the DB and E&J vlogs used to be on the YT kids app around the time that DB was talking TTC all the time. So inappropriate IMO.

She could probably get pregnant on her own, but they are going to go straight to the fertility doctor because being known as "the YT couple that dealt with infertility for years (and made a career out of it) but had two kids in less than 4 years" would be awful.

I agree.

Speaking of fertility treatment speculation... I've seen it come up on multiple boards lately as a means of gender selection, but does anyone else think it's only a matter of time before a YTer goes the IVF route with the intention to actually try and have twins? I realize IVF is a very long, involved and undesirable process, but it could mean big money for family vloggers that are otherwise losing their appeal.

She actually had two kids in less than 2 years. If she gets pregnant in the next couple months she will have 3 kids in barely 4 years.

She's not even pregnant yet and she's already whining. That's not going to play well in attracting the IF couples back to their channel.
