Chloe and Beans: Part 7

[Bekkaz]

I recently started watching this family and although I love watching vegan families, the amount at each meal that these children eat is so small! When you are vegan you need to eat bigger meals and more often! I remember seeing one vlog where for lunch all she did was fry up a plate of veggies and made all the children share it....one plate...for six kids...
also, is her husband mute?

If you watch a few more you'll hear his awkward hi and giggle.

The food thing bothers me the most about Chloe. I rarely watch her videos now. She practically starves her children. I’ve been vegan my whole life & I chose to raise my kids so too. It can be healthy. You can meet your kids dietary needs through it. Chloe just doesn’t. I don’t get why she’s not feeding her kids a variety either.

Chloe if you read here; your kids need more food. Vegans eat larger portions and more frequently. Yours kids need more carbohydrates, they need fats. A bit of avocado & 3 nuts won’t cut it. Add variety. Seek out a dietitian.

I see paediatric specialist Chloe is being passive aggressive again, “ A baby born 3 months early doesn’t just stop being premature when they turn 1 year old”. I thought she had changed her ways with her smart arse comments when the shop opened up, maybe not, ooh the veil is slipping Chloe and your true self is coming back. Snarky!

So when the triplets are 18 I wonder if Chloe will still be dragging out that little bit of info. Our paediatrician said that a very large percentage of premature babies (yes our first child was premature) can no longer go by corrected age once they turn 12 -18 months old, the only time that would be extended would be if the baby was extremely premature (more than 12 weeks ) and had been born with developmental delays like one of the baby boys born at the same time as our daughter was. How long will she keep playing this card I wonder.

Here they stop putting the adjusted age on things at age 3 and just instead say Developmental Delay if kiddo is delayed at that point.

Funny how she totes they're still preemies when it works but when people question her taking the kids off formula too soon [especially Pearl] then she's like but they're TWO now. Not babies!

"corrected birthday" is so not a thing, at least not among any other premmie parents I've been around. Age, yes, but not "their corrected birthday is in three days" a la Chloe. So specific. Woukd she still be doing that if they were only a born a month early?! Just say the due date, ya weirdo.

Their new intro is boring and unpleasant to watch but at least there's no more painfully awkward "dancing" like the old one!

[sunnysunflower]

They've got a new intro and it is not good. The old one was so much better and I actually liked it.

And why are Otto and Evan speaking soo slow, maybe even Felix? That can't be normal, probably a learned behavior since both have it and the little ones don't (yet).

As a mom to two premies I agree. This is not a thing, nor should it be a thing.

The only time I have known friends to do the corrected birthday or celebrate the due date is if baby has been in the NICU or graduated the NICU and it's like today is my due date but I'm 77 days old. After that the only people who do the adjusted age are 0-3 programs.

I'm kind of indifferent to the new intro except I have to say that Ro looks incredibly miserable in it

[YTIUH]

In the “new intro” video (around 1:36 mark) Evan starts explaining why he likes writing in his journal. When he finishes his sentence he looks up at the person behind the camera and nods. I believe that it means he was correct in saying his rehearsed bit and Chloe was nodding in approval behind the scenes so he automatically nodded back. This whole shitshow is even more scripted than we think

[sunnysunflower]

Hmm...I don't know. To me it seemed like she cut her questions out and just didn't cut the nodding part out. Even though the kids sound so slow, I don't believe it is scripted.

What do the others believe?

[Tulip24]

I have to agree with it being scripted and her editing of the vlog was shit. Chloe controls every aspect of all their lives including her poor emasculated husband. That whole discussion with Evan and Otto talking about Harry Potter was controlled by her. IMO the family is so dysfunctional.

[mamawombat]

To me it felt like an ad lib script, like they'd talked beforehand what they needed to say so that it covered all the dot points. It felt like the whole video was aimed at the homeschool coordinator (except when madam got all OCD about the books).

So they’re all finally toilet trained!

[sezzajaydee]

No one got hurt though. I love how Otto added that. M

It did seem a bit like a class presentation though. One they practiced for beforehand. The pattern of speech makes it sound like he’s just read it and is repeating it. Or was just told what to say.

Again Chloe with the nose picking Felix, she actually zoomed in when he picked his nose, WHYYY?

Also the insistence on asking them questions when they are eating, how about teaching them to chew with their mouth closed? That meal also didn't have a lot of calories, all low calorie foods, which is good for a person on a diet but growing kids need calories aka energie (especially Evan and Otto). She uses no oils in her cooking either so where do her kids get the fat they need? From the avocado and the 3 nuts they get a serving?

[DoodleBop2]

The kids all have to be skinny because Chloe used to be fat.

[ShudnaB3]

Never is Chloe's arrested development more apparent than when she takes selfies/writes about herself alone...not that those things in themselves are immature but the way she does it. "OMG you guys like winter is ending but I don't want to give up my cool cardigans so like I probably won't and aren't I just so weird and rAnDom because I like winter clothes lololol" secondhand embarrassment is real.

[ShudnaB3]

Oh and yes the lack of oil in cooking makes me so annoyed! There is ZERO reason not to use a bit of olive or coconut oil when sauteeing! But yes, Chloe is scared of fat.

Somewhat related did anyone catch her comment on the Instagram post with Felix (the caption about him wanting to die when he was 500 or something) where she said her kids are obsessed with wanting to live to be super old and she tells them the best way to do it is to eat healthy foods and exercise. Am I just hating this because it's from Chloe? It strikes me as a potentially insensitive or fear based thing to put on kids, who tend to be pretty black and white. Not only are they going to be snobby little vegans who are too good for school, but also potentially judging other people for their life-shortening food choices? Or worrying that the responsibility for a long life revolves around them eating the sludge Chloe deems healthy?

That’s hilariously disgusting.
The temp gets to over 40/104 a good chunk of summer over there.
She’s going to smell.

Looking back at her Instagram, she seems to favour layers on her and the kids too. Lots of long sleeve shirts under overalls and sweaters.
Those poor kids have to suffer from her body issues too.
