Skiing with kids was affordable on Joel's old salary and part time Bonnie's YouTubing income.

I don't think you'd like that either. An old truck it would be unsafe, a new truck would be excessive spending. Something a few years old would be a bad buy because it should really have a warranty. Seriously, as others have said, if you think Joel is so bad, then watch Daily Bumps. You'll lose your mind at their laziness and spending.

Not everyone has a newer vehicle. Old doesn't mean unsafe. They need the proper child restraints.

I agree Bonnie and Joel are becoming a lot more like the larger Youtube and that is disappointing, but I really feel like the nitpicking on this board makes certain people look a bit crazy. I now notice these same people trying to "turn the tide" on the Cullen and Katie board. You don't have to like all vloggers, but it doesn't need to be a HATE EVERYTHING ALL THE TIME scenario. Clearing a sidewalk, parking lot, driveway, etc, for someone else is a nice thing to do. I'm not sure why we would hate someone for it.

And you can't argue that Joel doesn't jog because we don't see it everyday, but then throw out that Jared volunteers at his church. We've never seen that. We have at least seen Joel jog before.

I do hate that Joel is no longer working, and that he's now a kept man so to speak. I thought he was better than that and had more drive and ambition. That said, I believe he's a good human being with a good heart, and don't think he's half as lazy or pathetic as people are making him out to be. Are we grading vloggers on potential? So because Joel could have been more we are supposed to expect him to volunteer all of his time, but since Jared only worked at Verizon and isn't handy it's ok for him to stay home and nap everyday? I haven't seen any of this same criticism pointed in his direction, and he can't even help his dad... he calls lazytuber Joel.
I wondered if I wasn't the only one seeing that on the C&K board. I just ignore it. I think Joel cleared the whole parking lot, why lie about it. He was just showing the "fun" parts though. Man, I wish my husband was as "lazy" as Joel. Geez people our rough on him!
Maybe you're not talking about me, but I feel like I am one of few people that doesn't adore everything Cullen and Katie do. If you're not talking about me, whatever, but I just have to say that I in particular am not trying to "turn the tide". I see things that bug me about Bonnie and Joel, and I come here to discuss them. Same with C&K. If you don't agree with things that bug me, fine. It's just my opinion. I'm not trying to make everyone agree with me. Usually my opinions get shot down on that thread, because they get credit for being great parents. But that's ok too. I'm just mentioning my opinion.
I wanted to reiterate that I don't have a problem with Joel driving an older car. If it runs well, and he likes it, great. It's the lack of child seats in the car that I object to. My family is of the school of thought that you buy a next to new car (so you don't have the depreciation of new) and drive it until it dies. So I totally get Joel doing that. But all four kids in that car is pretty unsafe. Olivia is still too young to be up front in California, and he doesn't have boosters for all the boys.

^^ Cool. I have been called out before for being "too nitpicky". So I was just explaining my point of view. No worries! I guess as usual, not everything is about me! [GRINNING FACE WITH SMILING EYES]

I guess I'm one of the ones too nitpicky on c&k thread? All I did was complain about Ada's talons and Gaines not wearing socks at the trampoline park. Also in the past brooks not being buckled into his swing and bouncer.

I will admit I no longer like Bonnie the way I used to. She has changed too much and I hate some of the things she does to her kids. On here though some people defend her on every single thing she does. I think they are on the wrong website. This website is for gossip. If you want to worship someone go comment on their videos on YouTube or tweet them. C&k and Bonnie get away with stuff that the lumps and e+j get raked over the coals for on this group.

No one is on the wrong website. Just because some people (clearly you're talking about me) defend things, that doesn't mean it's Bonnie worship. We all live different lives and some might find different things reasonable. I'm explaining the position a lot of the time, not defending Bonnie. Like the skiing. It's asinine to imply B&J have somehow neglected their children because they haven't been skiing yet. I live where there's tons of snow and a ski hill 15 minutes away. I have a 9 year old that has never skied. Why? It's not a family activity everyone can do together, so for us it isn't worth the $200 it would cost to go. That's not a defense of Bonnie, but the overall implications that you are somehow a neglectful parent for not taking your kids skiing. I think that is a hate driven opinion that defies logic.

I can't stand DB, but I probably play Devil's Advocate on that board too more than anyone else.

Without diverse opinions and subjectivity it really is all just hate all the time. I agree with the previous poster.

Exactly. And yeah, we all know you like Bonnie, but you don't defend her blindly. You were just as weirded out by her double dipping her fondue fork and some of the other questionable stuff she's done recently. You may say where you think she's coming from, but you're far from a minion.
Anyway, we're way off topic. Can't we all just respect each other's opinions?

This is a gossip site, but no one ever said it was a hate site. Gossip mags are usually trashy, but that doesn't mean they don't at least try to get the story right sometimes. I just think when you start to hold people up to impossible standards, everyone here starts to look crazy. Volunteering is a good thing to do. It doesn't' matter if it's 5, 10, or 40 hours. Its at least a nice thought and service and I don't think its fair to dismiss it as just nothing.

In response to your earlier post. Lmmom, I actually wasn't even thinking about you. You've been very vocal about your dislike of Cullen for awhile now. You own when you're nitpicking. So many others do not, and I wonder how well they would do when held up to their own high standards?

**Because I feel like I need a disclaimer: Only a lukewarm Bonnie or K&C viewer. Not a worshiper.

Maybe now that Bonnie's the main breadwinner, he feels like it's "her" money.

I agree they need to put proper seats in it. For the amount he uses that car though, I think it would be a waste to go out and buy a new one. I like that he doesn't care that it's old.
If he doesn't care that it's old, why does he want a new truck? Or is that something separate from that old car?

To whomever mentioned wondering if Bonnie was mean off camera... I think she is. She has said so herself several times. She's talked about being "the mean aunt" and even though I think that the kids all do like Aunt Bonnie (or Aunt Mama), I think she's still stern, which maybe the others are not with the others nieces and nephews. She's also talked about being mean to Joel.

When people tell you they're a certain way, and it's not a "positive" thing, believe them. I say "positive" because I think being a little "mean" is a good thing.

I think Ellie is more malicious, but fairly good at convincing herself it's because of XYZ (acne or anxiety).

It's true. Bonnie does have anger issues. Remember the hole in the kitchen cupboard made by her foot? She has said she has a bad temper, I believe her. I don't think any less of her because of it though. I give her credit for being truthful. Ellie, howere, is malicious and duplicitous which is unforgivable imo.

Who cares if post may be nick picking or there are different opinions. It is a voluntary board and one person's opinion is no better than another's opinion and diversity makes it more interesting. I have changed my mind after seeing a different messages and I think the messages have been respectful. Respectful is what I've seen since opinions are debated and not the poster.

That being said, I was too nick picky with Joel clearing the church parking lot and I am now more aware I did this. Guilty as charged.

So she's mentioned several times that she has herpes and then she asks her baby boy to kiss her on the mouth. WTF?!

I'm sure I'm who you're talking about because I'm often critical of Bonnie and I dislike Cullen and Katie. People are welcome to post all kinds of opinions here, but this is not a fan site and I personally don't post here to kiss ass. If I like something in a vlog, I leave a comment about it on said vlog.

My general philosophy is not to post a comment without contributing to the discussionon some way, ie. don't just repeat others without adding in my own thoughts. That's why I post critical comments on those two threads more often than I might for DB or EJ--they have bigger threads and other people say all that needs to be said.

I don't dislike Bonnie the way I do CK, but a lot of people here thought she was the best vlogger and I just never really bought into that. I've been a huge fan in a thread full of huge fans so I guess that stands out.

I don't know of anyone who has filmed their kids like Bonnie has this past couple of weeks. They all use their kids as income, but Bonnie has taken it further.
One vlogging family that comes close are the Saccone Jolys. The father, Jonathan Saccone Joly, just made a video talking about how Social Services have become involved with his family due to his video content.

In today's vlog did anyone understand what Bonnie said about something in the comments? I played it three times and still
couldn't. It was at the end when she was combing hair. Bonnie looks bigger than Joel, he has a small body build. Paci in her mouth.

"Well when the comment section brings it to your attention every day"

Not sure what she's talking about though, I guess her chin?

The thing is lately, it hasn't been difficult to find fault with Bonnie. Even her comments on YouTube comment section, who are her fans, said some negative remarks on her kissing her son with an outbreak of herpes simples. The Griffiths all have HSV-1 for a reason.

The snide remark about "well you know, when the comment sections brings it to your attention everyday" leads me to believe she must delete more comments than I thought since there are very few of them on her YouTube comment section. I had to laugh at her little shaking of her head as she said the snide remark thinking is this mom for real and the comments gets under her skin which is comical since she has ALL the power to show herself as a good wife/mother through editing. The fact she can't seem to filter or edit better makes me think there is something off with her. Add to this Joel is editing and he doesn't see it either. You can't fix stupid.

Oh, it is wonderful Joel was helping out in church, I love how Bonnie can keep a house clean (she has a very nice home) and it was nice to see them vlog outside the house.

The title says it all. Bonnie is disgusting. Active cold sore and she is putting Lincoln's binkie in her mouth. She always has to watch herself do stuff like this in the viewfinder. She knows exactly what she is doing. [img]//uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2017010 ... 539476.jpg[/img]

Edit: and she freaking kisses him? These poor kids are doomed to a lifetime of cold sores just like their mom. I think she wants it that way.
