E+J: The Cycle of Life - Part 23

[flowerpuppy]

Sorry for going off topic for this thread. I usually post through the tapatalk app on my phone. I am on the computer website right now and I have noticed that my pictures don't show up. Anyone have any suggestions on how to post pictures successfully through the app while still being able to view it on the computer? Thanks in advance!

do you mean how the photos show up as a link like "http://uploads.tapatalk....."? that always happens to me, i don't think there's a way to change it but i could be wrong. all i do to view the photos is copy the link (not including the "[.img]" parts) and paste it in a new tab. it should take you straight to the photo!

[quote="lmmomSD"]I think it's more that she has to _beat_ Julie. Remember her reaction when she thought Julie was pregnant a few months ago?

have not watched them in a while, what was her reaction? Ellie is always in competition with her sisters, its so childish and really obvious. She cant let anyone have the attention for one second, its ellie ellie ellie.

They were all up at some lodge, and the sisters were talking about some "secret", and Ellie came in, and said she thought the secret was that Julie was pregnant, and she looked like she could spit nails. It was before they even announced that they were going to try. I'll see if I can find the vlog. It might have been in one of Bonnie's.

It's this vlog, right around 3:58-3:59

Honestly, as much as I can't stand Ellie, I don't know if I agree that Ellie looks upset or mad about it, just out of the loop.

ETA: It's actually kind of funny how she comes running over like "Shut up! Shut up! Are you pregnant????" Like she was left out of the secret. I wonder if that's a theme in their family, the older girls leaving Ellie out.[/quote]

Love how Ellie comes charging round the corner with a look of pure distain on her face, and then how relieved she looks when it turns out Julie isn't actually pregnant. Ellie is so obvious.

I don't think Princess Ellie got left out. They left Bonnie out of the head shaving, and she's the prized baby girl. Still. And judging by her entitled attitude that the world owes her something, she was raised to think she's super special. And with big sisters who took her along on dates (Bonnie) and made out with boys on the porch so she'd have a "show to watch" (Ruby), she was definitely not "left out".
That screen shot says it all-- they are all laughing, and Ellie has RBF.

Ellie has a little girl in her house and she hasn't made a huge deal about it. She was there last night, I saw her in the corner of the frame. I am shocked she isn't making her the focus. I'm thinking the parents asked her to keep their kid off the vlogs. Interesting. It's kind of sad that they were making the slime/flubber and you can see poor Millie sitting on the kitchen table all by herself.

This doesn't surprise me at all. I think Ellie will ultimately find a daughter threatening and will compete with her for attention. We have never seen her treat her nieces in any special way, or acknowledge their cuteness, and I think a daughter will be more of the same once she is old enough to be independent of Ellie.

Didn't she take Olivia once and try and make it a special day and Olivia was NOT impressed lol.

Ellie can't make a post about Jackson that is positive can she? Had to throw in the dig about having to take away the toy. I can't stand her.

Yep-- they asked Olivia her favorite part of the day, and she mentioned something that happened at school, and Ellie said "I think your mom meant your favorite part of the day with ME", and Olivia struggled to come up with something. And when the kids stayed with Ellie either when Boston had his surgery or Bonnie did, they used her for the thumbnail and made the title something about "Operation Fail"-- it was about the game Operation, but was still really inappropriate.

Olivia never seems overly excited about spending time with E&J. This was one of the first things that made me start wondering if all wasn't as it seemed. (I had a two-faced aunt like that I hated spending time with myself).

I'm wondering what Jared could possibly want to put in the attic?
They have multiple empty storage rooms and closets. And their 5 car garage is no where near full. Maybe he's trying to find somewhere to hide those stupid balls that he filled the hot tub with that are still sitting out on the rocks.
Kind of OT, but I feel like there is some kind of power struggle going on with the balls in the hot tub. Like Ellie was pissed that her did it and told him she won't clean any of it up? They went from going in the hot tub daily to going like a month without it because Jared wouldn't take the balls out. And the bags are still there! You know that has to bother Ms. Neat and Tidy!

This is such a sweet photo! It says Sam took it. It's pretty sad when a stranger can see the natural charm and beauty in your child better than you can. E&J never capture photos of Jackson so contently involved in play like this.

With how little Ellie seems to understand about timing and "cycles," I'm actually shocked a fertility clinic was so quick to move to IUI in the first place. She was already on the fertility med/IUI train when she was supposedly diagnosed with PCOS. That definitely wouldn't be the case with any of the specialists I have seen. They would educate and make sure timing wasn't an issue first.

This is Utah where they induce you at your exact due date despite any complications needing to due so lol. Or according to Carlie her doctor offered to induce her at 39 weeks because she was at 2cm lol

Gotta pro create as many Mormon babies as possible and get em out sharpish before the Rapture, to fill that there special Heavenly Father Heaven place that only Mormon peoples gotsa get into for the forevers.

[lmmomSD]

Yep--gotta populate your planet!! What I don't get, is if each of them (the married men) gets a planet, and it's populated with their family, where do the kids go? It doesn't make sense. You have your planet, and then your son and his wife will have theirs, etc. Maybe I just don't understand the rhetoric. Sorry for going OT like that.

[HelloSweetie]

This is a good point. Have any of the Mormon vloggers gone over their due date and not been induced at least a week before the due date?

I know Collette, Carlie, Ellie and Bonnie (at least with Linc) were. What about Jennika?

This sweet child! Ellie is a moron. I cringe at "I sure love..." why do the Griffiths say that?!?! I don't think any other UT or Idaho vloggers use that wording. Where did the Griffiths parents get that? They sound so redneck.

I don't know if it was mentioned, but I watched the vlog where Ellie was talking to Jackson at bedtime and he was asking about everyone when they were babies. Ommmgggggg. Anyone would be so lucky to have such a sweet, sweet child!

It doesn't make sense, this is why I love the ex-Mo Reddit! They are all conditioned to not question things, but once they get even the slightest inkling that something doesn't make sense, it seems the illusion comes crashing down rather quickly.

[Pency]

What in the hell did Ellie put on that poor baby girl in today's vlog while they were painting? Was that for modesty? Put an old onesie on her! Sheesh.

[Rullakebab]

So Ellie said in the "6 DPO" vlog, that in a week she will take a test. So it would be maybe around April 30th or May 1st. Are they also going to put that in the vlog, whether it's positive or negative? What do you think?

[shewolf_07]

Just when I thought they decided to give their viewers a cheat day and not mention TTC.....BAM!!!! Literally right before the vlog ends Ellie mentions the two week wait and taking a test when the time comes. Damn Ellie, ur gooooood.

If you feel you have to try that hard to push your wholesome/innocent image, it only makes me doubt how wholesome you really are

Absolutely they will vlog it! This is why they are making such a point of counting down to testing day.

The only question for me is whether or not they will test beforehand, and then manipulate the edit for effect. (Ex. Due to our IF we know it will probably be negative.... cue negative test). I can't imagine Ellie waiting until 14 dpo to test.

I've been watching their stats over the last week and they really need a positive. All the baby hype (and DB crossover) has definitely brought in some new subs, but they are slowing again and so are views. It seems they need the pregnancy to happen to maintain that interest.

My whole thought process in those couple of seconds was ''What man who is almost thirty speaks that way?!'' I've worked with elementary male school teachers who never used such 'innocent/wholesome' language, let alone an almost thirty y/o YouTuber who has no reason to do so. The creepy/bizarre went to a whole other level in that one, albeit tiny, scene. In less polite language, he creeps me the F out.

I noticed their stats are up also with the "two week wait." The thumbnails are helping some and the vlog 6 DAYS POST OVULATION (over 300,000 views) they used the tag elle and jared are pregnant#2 and the other tag was ellie and jared babyellie#3

BabyEllie....

F off Jared. You are encouraging and enabling a mentality that is only going to mess up your children. The new baby, even if it's a girl, will be their own person with their own identity.

Or at least they would be if they had mentally stable parents!

I want to point out my error after looking back at the tags and not seeing this listed. I remember seeing it, but it is gone now and the spacing looks different, but I rather point out this as my error since I can't say for sure what happened. The tags listed in a more reliable format which is a list as seen below. I should be using format since it is easier to read.
*I apologize for the error HS. The original post I copied and paste the tags.

Thanks for the clarification. I might have questioned the formatting if Jared hasn't shown so many times this weird enabling behaviour though. It was believable he would make such a weird tag, and encourage Ellie's behaviour.
