Knorpp and South: Manic Megan’s Pinterest Palace | Part 2

[WheresMyCoffee]

I noticed when they were going through the ornaments the kids could barely remember which trip was what, it's all just jumbled to them.

[Icecreamblue]

It was so sad that even the older kids didn't know the ornament references. They visited some of the most amazing places in the world but haven't retained enough to understand a matching ornament.

They seem to think that there is nothing worth learning that their kids aren’t interested in. I think every time she has tried to ask them some kind of educational question on camera none of the children know the answer.
Maybe it will work out the way she thinks and they will all find amazing careers doing something they have a passion for, but Megan and Mike live in such a small bubble. Sure, they travelled the world but they have MONEY and all of their travel experiences were unbelievably out of touch. Plus, the first country they went to that wasn’t euro-centric and had mostly white people they decided to quit. I don’t think either of them even understand how badly they are setting all of their kids up for failure because they honestly don’t know how the world works.

Are there any TESTS they need to do periodically by the state to verify they are learning something??

I am a homeschooler and it varies by state to state. My state (SC) does NOT require testing but I do have to keep records, grades, and a portfolio.

Kinda funny considering Andrew seems to know a lot about black holes, 4th dimensions and closed ecosystems (from the podcast).

"The cracked bell from..ummm.."

With all the money they used to travel the world, they may as well stayed home lol.

[nordicjoust]

P.s. take a drink for every time she says "thrift" or "cute."

That's because he probably outright reads from wikipedia pages (even that isn't always a solid reference since anyone to add to it) while they are recording their podcasts. He reads a line really quickly and then right away says (with his snooty voice...) "Well, did you know...." and then spits out what he just read... annoying.

They just went to a thrift store for a lunch date. Drove 30 minutes to get to it. What a pile of junk. The woman desperately needs therapy. She's a bottomless pit.

[Ellawitt]

Why is she even trying to thrift for her new house? I am pretty sure all of the thrifted stuff in their current house is not going to fit. Megan, please stop.

[Ellawitt]

She said in the new vlog she wants her house to look like it’s not new.... It’s going to look brand new next to all of the other houses on her street that look NOTHING like the outside of that house. *facepalm*

[SNT41007]

I'm pretty sure it doesn't take 4 days to decorate the White House and they have so much thrift store junk that it takes that long to set it all up. There is SO MUCH CRAP in that huge rental, where in the F$#& are they going to put a quarter of that in their "new" house, if they ever move in. She is such a hoarder. She has to have spent at least 50K in thrift store junk since they came back from Europe. They had NOTHING before that. Business opportunity....anyone that's a budding business owner, open a thrift store in Davidson NC and retire at the age of 30 thanks to Meggie.

Maybe in 10 yrs she will be on Hoarders

I think pearls back was perfectly treatable but they were unwilling to sacrifice their life style for having to go to a doctor consistently to adjust a back brace. They chose full time travel over their daughters health. No doctor in their right mind would ever advise a parent to leave their child’s back like pearls. I guarantee they were told her back isn’t detrimental to her health but with frequent adjustments and a back brace, we can prevent it from getting worse. But they didn’t want to do that, so left it as is. Unfortunately she’s too old to do anything about it now.
Esther is probably too old to fix it as well. Poor thing. you usually have to intervene before puberty with scoliosis, surgery is her only option now and I’m sure with them being essential oil nuts that won’t happen either.

From the Forum Rules Page:
Rule 1.q-
Please refrain from mocking or diagnosing mental and physical illnesses. You are not the personal doctor to anyone here, and thus should not suggest what anyone has, be it a member, YouTuber or a YouTuber's child.


Unless you were attending doctors visits with the Knorpps, there's no reason you should be assuming any information provided is false, and moreso, should not be diagnosing any illnesses/syndromes/etc.

Nah I’m not diagnosing anyone. Simply speculating that they have certainty not done everything they possibly could to help Pearls medical condition they have already disclosed to the world i don’t think it’s outside the realm of possibility to assume this.

Also, why is calling Megan “manic” not diagnosing?

Manic can describe behavior outside of being a diagnosis. It's still just an adjective.

This actually makes me wonder what kind of childhood trauma she must have had to have to act this way as an adult. Collecting children and things. Placing a special meaning to everything and not letting anything go and when she does let things go (like when they downsized and traveled) her first instinct when they came back was to buy buy buy buy buy buy...but she's buying all the used crap that no one had any use for, and she's trying to give it new meaning. At the risk of diagnosing I will stop there, but a google search of such behavior makes it pretty obvious.

[SweetiePie60]

I see where Andrew got his thought process. His MOTHER!!! She is an expert in everything thrifting. She’s an expert in art, furniture and crap! Today’s vlog had me screaming at my computer calling her every name in the book!

She wants to finish the house herself. Meaning the builder will stop building at the drywall point and Then she will take over and do the rest. Meaning Megan, Mike and the kids!

She gets her expertise from Pinterest. UGH!!

Guys. She bought all that crap in 18 months! Wtf! She filled a 4000 sq ft house to the rafters w junk. Most people have less than half of all that and have collected it over a lifetime. Megan literally bought thousands of pieces in, what, say 500 days. Do the math. With all the little pictures, figurines, lamps, dishes, books, furniture, baskets, the list goes on and on. That’s probably an average of at least 4 pieces a day, every day, for 500 days. There is something very very NOT NORMAL about that! She needs to open her own thrift store, so she can buy and sell garbage to her hearts content. And not leave them penniless. This is a woman w 9 kids! She clearly does nothing else. You can kinda see Mike knows she is loony tunes. “Yeah, we have more than enough lamps”.

Cut to the next vlog, after they get the quote from the builder. Most builders charge about $150-200 per sq ft. That’s just for the basics. Another $200K to shell out. By the time the house is built, if it actually gets that far, it will be another 18 months. Can you imagine all the mountains of “collections” she will have by then?

I have been a nurse for 28 years. In my opinion, she is mentally ill. Not diagnosing . She will ruin that family. Mike is too afraid of her and her pink obsession, to be a man and get her help.

Pinterest Failllllllllllll

[1Poodle1]

Mike's sarcasm is quite passive aggressive. He clearly doesn't approve of her shopping/spending, but other than sarcasm, what's he really do about it? What is Mike doing all day while she's lost in lala land? Does anyone else wonder what he does? He could have his own obsession we never see.

[SNT41007]

I am not even 10 minutes in to this thrifting vlog. At first I thought she was literally mocking us and this forum but OMG she is so serious. So now she collects watercolor paintings too? So wait...baskets, owls, brass animals, christmas decorations, books, shitty smelly furniture that she can chalk paint, and now watercolor paintings too? Remember those old school brass baby shoes people had made back in the "mid century?" I wonder since she collects brass things when she's going to have Mike's balls dipped in brass for her collection. He's not using them anyway, and she collects them too right?
