BritneyandSponsoredVideos Part 12

[gypsophila]

I've said all along that she didn't have to update US at all. It was always her choice on what to say and when. I have no need to apologize for anything. She controls how she is perceived, and by half telling, half hiding, she herself created a lot of unnecessary tension. She could have kept it all private if she wanted, and maybe waited until next year to say anything, when they finally will know what form of MD Nolan does have. She just needs to decide where to draw her lines and boundaries. I understand this is her biggest heartache ever. We didn't need to know about it yet at all. Don't blame people for not knowing how to feel with only hints of what was going on. She has family and friends irl to confide in. That is her support system. Not her subscribers, and certainly not this type of board. I wish them the best always.

You still sound incredibly rude and like an ass and you need to learn WHEN to apologize.

She vlogs her daily life. She took him to the doctor on multiple occasions. The kid also clearly has a deformity yall were up her butt about taking him to a specialist. Yall would have been up her butt trying to figure out why she was taking him to the doctor so much. Furthermore yall were criticizing her and how she was handling his missing thumb. SO yall seem to pin her in a corner to where she gave enough info to appease you...but only as much as shes comfortable with.

Seems she was NOT expecting such a big diagnosis. She didn't Mean to drag it out. It seems she was only looking to see about his hand surgery, got blood work, THEN found out about the MD. At that point she had already said something to her subscribers and folks were asking about the results.


youre. an. ass.

FIX YOURSELF. Yall gotta remember these are real people and stop acting like they owe you something.

Ah, okay, lol. FIX YOURSELF. I don't have to do anything, and I'm not going to take you seriously when you don't even bother to read what I wrote.

[WaitingForNaptime]

Can you guys finally stop calling him Norman now?

Agreed.I don't know why people on here think it's so cute to change his and Ean's name

No one changed their names; autocorrect did

New video regarding Nolan's health , if someone could summarize it that would be great . her sharpie brows were so violently raised it was pissing me off lol

She just said that he has a rare form of muscular dystrophy. But no new answers. She just kept talking about all the blood work, thanks so much for waiting, doctors visits, thanks so much for being awesome subscribers, blood work, thanks so much for being supportive. Yet another video dragging it out. But alas, she 'will not make another video until they know EXACTLY what is wrong with Nolan.' --- we shall see.

LOL You are rude as hell man. "Yet another video dragging it out"

I hope nothing ever happens to your family or kids.

How is that rude? She has been dragging it out. Click bait titles, vague videos... It's obvious to everyone.

If something did happen to my kids/family I wouldn't go throwing it around all over YouTube, IG, & Twitter looking for sympathy and an extra dime

[Ellagrace]

It takes a special kind of mother to exploit their child with a disability, syndrome or disease by plastering it all over the internet and gain monetarily from it.

[CanYouJustNot]

Honestly, I never comment on Britney because I hardly ever watch her videos. While I agree that she did seem to drag out Nolan's diagnosis, or suspected diagnosis, I think it is unfair to say that she is exploiting him. She has been on YouTube for quite a long time, and even though her fans are young they still deserve to know what's going on. If she had hidden anything everyone would be screaming from the roof tops that she's either ashamed of him or that she has her head in the sand still and doesn't know anything is wrong with him. Now if she drags it along the way CandidMommy has her divorce, then I will eat my words. But making videos about him having Muscular Dystrophy is hardly exploitation IMO.

[Yue195]

I actually think this is a good thing ( not the part where she keeps making videos without all the details or kept saying when I find out more and next video was just the same as before ) to see mothers on YT with children who have disabilities. Little girls with Jessica's 17 year old mind set should see how purposely getting pregnant at a young age isn't all roses. If it's classified as exploiting then the parents who allowed there pregnancies and children be filmed for documentaries/help/medical videos are also guilty. Leah from TM2 probably isn't the best example but seeing her story unfold with Ali definitely shed some light about how to parent a child with a rare form of MD and other mothers don't feel alone. I'm really interested how all this will pan out.

[Wagurl]

I haven't watched her for long, but at the end of the day, this very young family is going to be facing some difficult financial and emotional hardships. Even if they do have insurance, there are out of pocket expenses. Having a child with medical issues can cause extreme stress on marriages. I feel bad for this young family.

LOL LOL LOL. Financial issues? HAHAHAHAHHA. There's no way he's not on Medicaid. They won't have any medical bills and therefore won't have any financial issues due to Nolan's health. B on the other hand might go broke from Starbucks and Target.

But I do agree with you on the emotional stress. That stuff affects all walks of life.

[sunsetlove]

She replied under another comment on the video saying his levels actually were only slightly raised and have since returned to normal, and that they could have been raised due to an infection. Hopefully it was just that and he doesn't have any condition

NO. She was saying that his white blood cells were elevated by infection, and they're lucky they happened to catch the white cells elevated. If they never looked into the white blood cells they wouldn't have been doing all the blood tests and found the Dystrophy.

He 100% has a dystrophy.

[Ellagrace]

It just doesn't set well with me when a child's private health issues are being aired all over the Internet.
Sure, some young teen girl who wants a baby may see the not so great side of possibly having a baby with medical issues and think twice about planning a pregnancy but I don't think these YT moms accurately show the real difficulties. Regardless of the child having medical issues or not they all seem to make parenting look easy because they have control of what they show the public in their videos,IMO. And let's face it...they typically only show the fun trips to target, going out to eat, cute baby clothes & make up hauls and trips to Disney. That's not reality for most young mothers.
Plus the child deserves their privacy. I think I'd be resentful later on in life if my mother had made my medical issues public and had benefitted financially from it at my expense.

[Yue195]

Different strokes for different folks I guess.

personal- I was a very sick child at 3 with kidney issues and had multiple surgeries to save my malfunctioning kidney and fix my bladder and was even considered being put on a transplant list when my other kidney looked like it was going to suffer the same issues. I got really lucky my malfunctioning kidney decided to work and I still got both. I was in two different hospitals, missed preschool, had a relapse in the middle of a 18 hour car trip going interstate. I've got little fuzzy memories, one photo in the hospital and my parents can't remember all the details from my year and half time in hospital. I honestly wished they had documented what happened so when I ask something they can just pull it out and say here this is it. I honestly feel like I'm missing a year of my life.

[rosethorn12]

I have a soft spot for Nolan. He reminds me so much of my one year old. They have so much in common. I just hope everything turns out good.

I find it very unpleasant to read comments about "her exploiting her child." I really dont think that is the case here.
I also don't think she owes it to anyone to give every detail of their life.

I don't think she's exploiting him for money at all. She's been documenting her life for years now and this is her life now. It's exactly the same as Vanessa talking about Lily's turners syndrome. It's not exploitation, it's life.
As an example, Vanessa telling the world about Lily's prolapsed rectum is exploiting a child for views. That's not a lifelong condition and it is something that lily probably will not want broadcast all over the world later on. But a dystrophy or a syndrome that is a lifelong condition can be eductional and helpful to other people who watch these videos.

There will absolutely be a ton of extra costs. How many doctors appointments have they gone to? A lot. Medicaid does not pay for your gas. What happens if things start getting worse and they have to go see specialist in a different town? Hotels, food, more gas. Also if things get worse, she definitely won't be able to work a normal 9-5 job as she will need to be a care taker for Nolan.

She doesn't plan on working. If she can afford to waste money at target, Starbucks,and drop $200+ on make up, then she can aford gas, food, and a few hotel stays.

You are right. I was just trying to say that there is more to having a child with medical issues than just the medical bills. Personally, I think they are doing fine financial even with the shopping that she does. I doubt ean would be ok with her blowing all of her money on things for herself so that he is forced to pay for all the necessities.

I liked her video that she made about Nolan. I think she told us as much as she knows. I don't mind that she didn't tell us anything right away.

I did find it funny though that in that video about his diagnosis she mentioned Nolan writing with crayon on the wall....I thought she was a "good parent" anyway it made me lol

[exracer]

I don't think she's exploiting Nolan at all right now. While I agree that some of the little cliffhangers can be annoying, I do think she keeps hoping to find out information and is just trying to give the updates that she's able to give (because viewers are constantly asking for them), but then keeps being told by doctors that x is ruled out but now we need to test more for y, etc. I'm sure she was expecting to have more answers by now. edit: Oh, and I agree with whoever said she's been filming for a long time. It's not like she was all, "Oh, I'm going to start a youtube channel to make money off of this!" She wasn't expecting this.

And I agree that if things get expensive, she can cut back on spending before they would actually feel the effects of it all. They spend a LOT of unnecessary money. Eating out, Starbucks, Target, all the decor and hauls and makeup and new furniture that they don't need (and keep replacing).

All that aside, I'm so sad for them. This must be really hard to deal with. And I can't imagine how it feels to know that you passed something like that down to your own child genetically. Even though it's not REALLY her fault, I know that's how I'd feel about it. Nolan is such a sweet little boy. And we can nitpick about a lot of stuff, but I really do think they are a nice young family who adores their children and does what they think is best for them. We may not always agree with what they do, but they are still doing a good job. Especially as young parents. I know I gained a lot of experience and perspective in my 20s (college, working, etc.) that has helped me as a parent/adult now.

What's Alyssa's channel?

Alyssa Sills

Thanks

Just watched Britney Latest Video and was very sad to hear the News about Nolan. Have Followed Britney and watched her Videos For a long time. And don't think she's Exploiting Nolan at all, its part of her Life she revealing and at the End off the Day its her choice to say about Nolan's Health .
What ever Happens with his Health in his Life time, one day may help another Person searching about the Same Condition. I'm glad she waited until some off the results where released.
(Off topic slighty) I suffered from Epilepsy and have now been seziure free but i turned to youtube as silly as it may sound to Find out more Information. I got Information and help from my Doctor and Lots of Leaflets which gave Information . But it was People that had Epilepsy that i wanted to communicate with and it helped me.
So maybe this her way of coping or trying to connect with her subscribers hoping that she can relate to someone.
She has a lovely family and No-one should have to deal with this in there life. She looks after family and even helps out her friend Britt.
My thoughts go out to you and Britney & Ean !
