Re: DailyDukeofDouche&PrincessMisery (Part 84)
I think it's really nice to say that Ollie won't get picked on in school, but lets face it, if he goes to private school (like his cousins) he likely won't be going to school with a lot of the kids that know and worship him. Judging by the comments I've read, a lot of these fans idolize the Lannings because their home life isn't so great. From my experience, you don't go to the effort and expense of putting your child in private school unless you are very involved in their lives. Most of these parents probably have a better idea of what their children are watching, or the kids are smart enough to be able to see the questionable aspects of Lannings lifestyle. I know I have a 9 year old who only needed to watch one vlog before he was rolling his eyes at their absurdity. If anything, among private school peers Ollie himself might one of the more ignored children, and therefore more likely to actually be the bully. We've seen signs of insecurity in Bryan, and a tendency to bully and mock to build himself up, so I would be very surprised if B&M taught Ollie to be nice and treat everyone equally. Plus lets be real here, it isn't good enough to say he's meeting the minimum standard (which is debatable), in a classroom of private school peers it is very likely he will seem severely behind. This is going to have an impact on how he sees himself. Even if it doesn't, B&M should be ashamed of themselves for even chancing it and for not putting in more of an effort given that they have the time.

Re: DailyDukeofDouche&PrincessMisery (Part 84)
Wow Missy's siblings are so creative and smart....what the hell happened to Missy? I mean they both think outside the box and come up with fun and exciting things to do with the kids, while Missy invests her time in playing with her phone or legos. The kids are more focused on once Mimi and Papa are around, otherwise they are always shoved in the playroom with a movie on. In a way it's nice that they take the time to do exciting things with the little lannings.

Haha no problem. I'm a pretty introverted person so going out doesn't really appeal to me lol.PostyMcPosterston wrote:Got it!

Re: DailyDukeofDouche&PrincessMisery (Part 84)
Its safe to say that most of us here are fairly introverted, and a lot of us are stay at home moms. I've made some other self-described introverted friends on these boards, and although we chat all day everyday, we aren't planning vacations with one another because... introverted! That's the thing, if you're the keep to yourself type, that usually transfers into most aspects of your life. What B&M do would be the equivalent of you deciding to plan a one week family holiday with all the bus stop parents. I mean, do we really think Missy enjoys these trips? If she doesn't enjoy them, why book them if it isn't a business decision?PosyGirl72 wrote: That's me. I have some mommy friends but we don't hang out except at the bus stop. And I have a best friend that I see maybe once or twice a year since she's busy working all the time and lives 3 hours away.
I'm a stay at home mom. Yes, I need me time every now and then.

That's all I was saying. If you can identify with Missy then that's fine, but I think what you're describing is very different. I'm an introverted stay at home mom. I live blocks away from my family, and we are super close. I still look at Bryan, Missy and the Hollisters and see a cult "keep to ourselves" mentality. They only mix with others when it benefits them in some way. It's business, not pleasure.

Also, in my case, I'm a military spouse so I'm away from family. Lol.

Re: DailyDukeofDouche&PrincessMisery (Part 84)
Honestly? I think Missy was the golden child, praised for doing absolutely ANYTHING (Christmas letter anyone?), so she was never really motivated to do anything extraordinary. Since Missy was always getting attention, Jimmy and Cassie most likely felt they had to actually work for it, and they did. They have both focused on their education, and have life goals that extend much farther than buy a home with their parents, get married and have babies. Missy only ever planned to be a baby maker. She's done that and now she's supposed to be praised repeatedly for it, just as she's always been praised for just being her.brownprincess93 wrote:As usual Finn is no where to be seen for the longest time - I wonder sometimes if Missy just leaves him in the dark room and go in to get him when it's convenient for her!

Re: DailyDukeofDouche&PrincessMisery (Part 84)
My aunt is a kindergarten teacher. She gets children who know just about nothing. She always has a few kids who don't even speak English. She says they usually catch up though. So considering Ollie knows something, I'm not that concerned about his readiness at this point. Will he be advanced? No. But I think he will be fine. ... I also think Missy will work with him once a teacher tells her what to do with him.

Re: DailyDukeofDouche&PrincessMisery (Part 84)
I get that. I'm a homebody. I have lots of friends, and if I need them, or they need me, we're there, but we don't socialize a lot. But the Lumps want to project this image of being popular and having lots of friends and being #squadgoals. Look at their social media. All the "Friends" references when they post on Instagram belie any homebody "we're happy to be at home with just ourselves" way of life. They throw big parties. Who comes? People on their payroll and other YouTubers. No _real_ friends who have nothing to gain. Do you post pictures of yourself and your friends with #squadgoals? Comparing ourselves to them isn't accurate because their life is so abnormal. They say they post their "honest, day to day life" but it's not. What normal family flies to Orlando for a vacation when they are going back again in 5 weeks?sb613 wrote:Some people aren't really that social. When I was a kid, my parents ran a business together from home and had literally zero friends in any of the cities we ever lived in. They had a couple of work friends from other parts of the country (whose kids I then became friends with), and once every couple of years we'd see one of my mom's two old high school friends. Other than that we hung out with my dad's parents frequently. So basically just like B&M. My parents preferred spending time with each other, and that way of living is just a lot more suited to their personalities. Now my husband and I are exactly the same way, except that he works out of the house. We're not even friends with any of his co-workers.lmmomSD wrote: But you have friends that aren't work related or on your payroll, right? That's the point with these guys. Everyone in their lives is either related, on their payroll, both, or is another YouTuber. Everyone at their parties is another YouTuber or family. They have no friends except for Corbin and Kelsey, who are also using them for views.
And to whomever asked if B&M have a backup plan or skills to fall back on in case YouTube tanks, nope. They have said it is going to just "get bigger and bigger", and that they will "always be vlogging". They seem to think the gravy train is going to ride forever. Hence the money hemorrhaging. They can always make more! They have no real skills.

Sorry to go on too much about it, or bug anyone or anything like that- I'm just saying it's not as bizarre and uncommon as you might think. People don't all socialize or live the same way.
Maybe they only do it because it is part of that aspirational "fun all the time" lifestyle that the minions covet. But that's sad too, if they'd rather just hang out with each other. Which honestly, I believe to be the case with Missy. She would be perfectly happy just to be with her family and never deal with viewers or anyone else.
I think I am up to the three post limit for harping on something, so I will leave the "Lannings friendship abnormalities" for someone else to argue now.
I just think that saying their relationships aren't weird because some of us are homebodies is missing the point. They definitely don't want to be seen as homebodies! They want to be seen as popular, hopefully by the people who were in high school with them, and definitely by their minions.
Oops, I said I would shut up. Posting now before I go off on another tangent.

Re: DailyDukeofDouche&PrincessMisery (Part 84)
As a stay at home mom I know "just fine" is what I've always hoped to achieve for with my child
/sarcasm
Its shameful for a child with two stay at home parents to need any kind of catching up. If Missy is as Narcissistic as I think she is, she isn't going to work with the teacher at all. She's going to pull him out of school at the first mention of him needing to work on something. Missy always knows more than professionals (doctors, midwives, swim teachers, etc), why would education be any different?

Whenever someone says something Missy doesn't like, she pulls back and shuts down (remember the yoga class?!)
I'll bet this is what happens when she fights with Bryan, too. Made me think of the video on Missy's channel they recently did together - they knew an awful lot about correct methods of communication in relationships and terminology for people with a solid relationship. Good for them for getting help though.
Re: DailyDukeofDouche&PrincessMisery (Part 84)
Lol well it's not ideal, but not child abuse either. I don't see her attempting to home school at all. At that time, she's going to have another child and I think she knows she wouldn't be able to handle that. Especially if new baby is a girl.

Re: DailyDukeofDouche&PrincessMisery (Part 84)
This. Knowing the alphabet and counting to 10 isn't a prerequisite for kindergarten. At least not around me. I didn't know any of that going into kindergarten, and neither did a lot of my classmates. We learned it there. I also didn't go to preschool and neither will my son.ja14 wrote:My aunt is a kindergarten teacher. She gets children who know just about nothing.

With that said, my kid is 3.5 and can count to 20, knows all his ABC's (upper and lower case), and all his primary colors. It's just something he's always been interested in.

Re: DailyDukeofDouche&PrincessMisery (Part 84)
Finn would've had more special attention than he could handle if he had've been Missy's little girl. She resents him being a boy, and that she didn't get her magically birth that she wanted. With Ollie, all is forgiven and he is the wonder kin because she "saved his life"sarahelizabeth_1 wrote:It annoys the shit out of me how they treat Finn. Why put him to bed and then have dinner and celebrate? That would have never happened with Ollie, even when he was that age. If you can only give one child special attention/treatment, maybe you should only have one kid. I hope that poor Finn makes it out without too much psychological damage.

Re: DailyDukeofDouche&PrincessMisery (Part 84)
Bryan in today's vlog - "It will be nice to experience some warm weather" .. like wtf?
Also, Olivers "airplane outfit" is ugly as hell and so are those sandals they had on Finn.
How many different shoes does Ollie have? He wears a different pair almost every day, and he got every style of the Toy Story vans for Christmas.
