Epik Brandon Family
Re: Epik Brandon Family
I like the idea of unique names, they're not hurting anyone with them. Personally not really a fan of any of their names except Maybe Shiloh and Ezra. Those short nicknames can be cute while they're young, but can you imagine a 30 year old going by Ebby. Idk, I don't really like the names but this family has far more problems to worry about haha

I agree there are other problems but some of the names are more evidence that they don't see the kids as separate beings. They like the names, but they give no consideration to the fact that those names might cause some problems for their kids down the road. Yes, they can isolate them from the world now, but whether he grows up to be an auto mechanic or a dentist, Ebeneezer will constantly be dealing with that name. Every day.
Re: Epik Brandon Family
I don't particularly like their names but there is also nothing wrong with them. At least they are real names and have real meanings, and aren't made up names like a lot of black people do and also a lot of other families do.
Such as Unique or Sex Fruit or Mt Roskill Bus Shelter (I'm serious!) or Benson and Hedges (twin's and a smoke brand) or Klazik or Jrusc or 4real (name wasn't accepted so they changed it to Superman on birth certificate but he goes by 4real) etc etc etc lol
You actually just get used to names and after a bit you forgot about the 'weirdness' of the name and just accept the person for who they are and not what their name is. As an adult Ebby might just go by Eb. We liked Zeke (Ezekiel) for a boy and would have probably called him Zekey as a child. I don't think any of the names they have for their children will give them problems in the future.

The only one I outright dislike is Ebenezer. The rest, eh, not my cup of tea but fine.natalka81 wrote:I have so many doubts and worries about this family but I think I have to count myself in the likely VERY small majority who actually doesn't really mind their names! I've always been a big fan of biblical names (even though I'm not super religious) and these ones are kind of cool to me! I feel a bit sorry for Hezekiah though- although Kai is super trendy right now so he should be okay. (And it's not like he's out in public with peers much anyway ) And Ebenezer is unfortunate but Ebby is adorable! Is it bad that I actually quite LIKE Hannahniah!? #amicompletelycrazy? #iwouldntusethesenamesformykids
Re: Epik Brandon Family
Well at lease Neysa took these poor kids out of the house today. But while she was vlogging complaining about a supposed $100 fee to get a library card (uh?) Ebby was running in the parking lot by himself behind her. None of the older kids even appear to be near him. This woman...

Who would have thought drinking water was smart during pregnancy. So she gets paranoid over a headache and supposed blood pressure. She keeps thinking stuff is going to happen during this pregnancy. Probably cause she's also creepily hopeful something is wrong. If only she got actually ultrasounds to see what is really going on in her tummy. Then guessing by what way a coin falls heads or tails on her tummy. lol
Re: Epik Brandon Family
Sorry guys, it was a really bad way of saying that. I don't use black as in insult at all, I just use it was the name of a skin colour. I'm sorry if I caused offence to anyone.
You gotta admit though that there are a lot of people out there with some crazy arse made up names.

Edit the comment if you’re sorry.
Re: Epik Brandon Family
BAHAHA Oh god. Todays video is all about how they don't let the kids watch cable tv and how screen time is bad for kids and blah blah blah. But then later it comes out that the kids watch netflix and youtube. This woman thinks she's so organic and perfect. Puh-lease.
Re: Epik Brandon Family
Don't most of her vlogs show the TV on and them watching it? Like I don't remember ever seeing the TV not on or them not having access to the internet or computer. Especially since that's how they do homeschool, right? Haha, it just kind of seems like the fast food one. It's mostly just for click bait and views. But you know she's lying cause they do watch all the TV they want. lol Just like how they did eat McDonald's before that video. lol

Re: Epik Brandon Family
There's SO much inconsistency. Fast food, schooling, screen time, health, on and on. It's fine to not do break your own 'rules' every once in awhile but it's like she doesn't have a consistent story to begin with.
Re: Epik Brandon Family
I hate when people act holier than thou about tv but they do watch things on the computer. Who cares? I almost NEVER EVER watch “tv”. But I put YT videos on every night while I clean etc. I put on the entire run of The Office for the 3rd time while cleaning etc. But it’s all on my phone so it doesn’t count right? So weird.Eclairsu wrote:Don't most of her vlogs show the TV on and them watching it? Like I don't remember ever seeing the TV not on or them not having access to the internet or computer.

Re: Epik Brandon Family
My kids don't know much about cable TV either, Neysa. They watch YouTube and Netflix on their personal devices and we cut the cord a few years ago. Fairly standard stuff these days. It's way too expensive and no one watches it.
Oh, and as for ads, come on, now. You of all people know that YouTube has ads!

Re: Epik Brandon Family
Oh I was definitely a holier than thou person for awhile until it dawned on me that YouTube, Netflix and all the rest of it is the same bloody thing as watching tv! You're right about ads, too! And I'm assuming they're watching other family vloggers and all sorts of other crap as well. People in glass houses...
Re: Epik Brandon Family
Not to mention....i get if she hasn’t had cable in a long time maybe she doesn’t realize this but, who watches commercials any more?! My husband watches tv by himself in the evening after our kids are in bed. He will go insane if he watches something NOT dvr’ed or on demand type stuff. Nobody watches commercials. Unless you’re watching YT, lol.

For somebody so obsessed with gender roles she sure does dress the younger boys like girls...
