I agree that they aren't the best look on her. If she could go one or two levels down toward a more natural look itd look amazing. Buuuut, we know Bonnie like extreme when it comes to her looks. I get it. It's her thing and she acknowledges it. Plus, Joel seems to like the dramatic lashes.

I think it's because her right eye looks like it needs to be redone.

Bonnies kids are so cute. They definitely only produce one kind of boy, Cody and Boston look so similar at the moment, and you just know Lincoln is going to look the same as he grows up!

Man the latest vlog Joel looked SO MUCH like my Dad, especially around the eyes! It was really really weird for me

(It should be noted though that this isn't an insult, my dad is in his mid-fifties and is often mistaken for my older brother...despite the fact I'm 20. He just never ages apparently!)
Also, now that I think about it, Joel and my Dad have the same exact personality. This is getting too Freudian for me this is where I leave

I agree with everyone about the lashes! I think the issue might be that Bonnie is either putting mascara on them, or isn't brushing through them to get them apart.

Also, I hope Bonnie crops the thumbnail or changes it. You can see lincolns butt, honestly I hope she completely takes down the vlog and removes the parts where she's filming Lincoln completely naked crawling around and what not... I was cringing the whole time thinking about who will be seeing that... I thought she learned a lesson when E+J were called out, but it doesn't seem like it after today's vlog... Unfortunately.

The difference between bonnie+Joel and E+J was very clear for me in today's vlog. e+j would have jumped at the opportunity to film Jackson under laughing gas, especially after Bonnie's reaction to the anesthesia and how well that video did. I'm glad they chose not to film it.

I saw that too! When I saw the thumbnail, I was so disappointed. And then all that footage of him naked in the tub-- just not cool. Not only because of pedophiles-- when he's older, he's not going to be thrilled that his naked bum is posted on the internet for all to see.

I agree as well, although I'm willing to believe Bonnie didn't have any ill intentions by including the footage given that she doesn't have a history of being desperate for views.

Part of me wonders if she still feels as though her channel is smaller, and that her vlogs are (as they all say) made for the memories. If you're a busy SAHM taking the trouble to film and actually edit, I can see having a hard time leaving cutting things out. BUT, that doesn't explain the thumbnail or title. (Lincoln was stinkin' cute though).

I agree with Alym about the decision to not vlog the dental appointment. That shows B&J are emotionally in tune with their children, and aren't so "positive" all the time that they are willing to dismiss their feelings to create a funny moment. It's clear Bonnie loves her children and has a deep connection with them. I never feel like she's being "put on" when she's speaking to/interacting with them.

Speaking of which, when did Boston's speech get so clear? I had no idea!

And Cody's wink at the end was adorable.

Thumbnail not cool.

Agreed hers doesn't come off as desperate, but damn.

Agreed with Tyra up there... I WAS ROOTING FOR YOU! WE WERE ALL ROOTING FOR YOU!

Bonnie 100% isn't desperate for views and click bait . Notice she uses her kids names in the title often, Jared ALWAYS uses CUTE BABY and TODDLER because it's more searchable. Jared's use of bath thumbnails increased wen we all called him out, it felt like a screw you.

I wonder how many people are going to give her grief for the thumbnail and showing him in the tub...

Wed May 11, 2016 9:53 am

Oh, Bonnie, no!! I love watching your videos, but I can't support people exploiting naked children for creeps.. With all of the grief E&J have been given, she has to be aware of what pedos are doing. I can't give her a pass anymore..

I'm sorry, but I think assuming Bonnie is aware of all the heat E&J took for it, and is somehow still intentionally doing it to attract creeps is a bit of a reach. We haven't seen her do anything else that would suggest she's desperate for views. I'm still not sure E&J realize all the heat they took!

I don't agree with her doing that, but I think its not fair to assume she has the knowledge that Jared has. She isn't his wife, and Ellie isn't exactly talking about anything that doesn't make her look perfect

E&J have done so many other things suggesting they don't value their children as individuals, and I still have a tough time accepting the pedo clickbait idea. I definitely don't get that impression from Bonnie at all, and I'm not going to stop watching her because of one thumbnail. I cringe at it for sure, and think she may regret it, but I see it as a mom putting pics on FB. It's stupid, but not necessarily for ill intent. But we will see...

Just saying, this one move doesn't make her E&J to me. It's just a piece of their whole F'd up puzzle.

Disappointed in the naked baby footage. I thought Bonnie was better than that.

I disagree that she is unaware. The family talks shop--to the extent that she had to tell them that them that there would be no more YouTube talk at Cody's birthday.
I don't think Bonnie is doing intentionally, as E&J are, but to say that she is unaware is a big stretch.
I love to snark about YTbers, and I am not someone who gets riled every time safety is ignored, (Except in the case of testing Ollie in the pool) but not having a basic need to protect children from monsters is beyond my comprehension.

Off-topic-ish:
I recently watched a woman die from complications of IV drug use. She was very successful, and had a gentle spirit that you immediately felt. When she and her brother were little, their uncle exploited them, and the pictures were on the Internet. He didn't molest them physically, just took naked pictures. Even through all that she accomplished in her life, those pictures haunted her every single day. The cut scars this woman had will haunt me forever, as it was the only way you would ever know the pain she silently suffered. So, ya, I think there is more harm being done than simple future embarrassment in the teenage years for these YT kids.

I'm so mad about today's vlog, why use just that short clip as a thumbnail and put "baby in the tub, baby loves bath time, bathtime, tub time" after everything that happened with E+J ?
She never acknowledged it directly but I remember she said something like she would be more careful of what she showed in the vlogs so IMO Bonnie has some idea of what kind of creepers are out there.

I agree that she didn't do it intentionally to get views. But I don't think she's totally unaware-- especially because she's been more careful lately, and she made sure his little front was covered up when he was on his back in the tub. I'm certainly not going to stop watching, and I don't think she's anywhere near as bad as E&J, but I am just disappointed. That's all.
I thought her little talk with Cody at the beginning was so sweet. Poor guy just couldn't make it to the bathroom in time! I used to tell my kids the same thing. Their dad was a "yell first and ask questions later" type, and I always tried to make sure they knew that if they were honest, I was going to be a lot less angry than if they lied and tried to cover something up-- especially an accident like that.

I read here before I watched today's vlog and was expecting much worse. Definitely expected more than a 30 second clip and a bit of baby bottom. I also don't think Bonnie had bad intentions.

Wed May 11, 2016 2:25 pm

Honestly, I think Bonnie has an obsession with her babies little bums. Not in a creepy way, but in the same way that I love chubby baby cheeks. B&J should cherish those innocent memories for later, but as someone else said, if you wouldn't show strangers in the grocery store your child in an inappropriate way, vloggers shouldn't show it on YouTube.
Heck, even Justin Beiber can only take so much invasion of his person and being treated like a zoo animal, and he asked for the fame.
