Chloe and Beans: Part 7

[Redka]

Why did Otto get new glasses? Did he actually need them or was she just sick of the old ones?

[ShudnaB3]

I think she said they were scratched? Which these will be too after he dropped them fresh out of the case and on the trampoline and who knows how many other times already...

Agreed, Chloe’s sister has it all, she is attractive, has what looks like a good job, a house, drives and she travels a lot. Whereas madam has 6 kids, little education no work experience and a wardrobe of frumpy clothes, but at least she has a chauffeur and a housekeeper :0

I also wonder if, when Chloe realised the kids could teach themselves to read (apparently) she thought that it would be so much easier if they just taught themselves everything else, after all she mentioned in a post that’s what inspired her to do child led learning or is that just the easy, lazy way out?

And why bother buying Otto glasses if they don’t fit considering they spend more time down below his eyes on the edge of his nose, kind of defeats the purpose really

Her lack of personal education was reflected in Ro's dad stating he's used more vocab and punctuation in reading to the triplets during the trip than ever before.

Child led learning CAN work, but not when the parent doesn't act as a facilitator for the learning. If those kids don't reach certain educational milestones, the homeschool moderators will make them send the kids to school. I've no doubt they were threatened with Evan's lack of progress in areas beyond reading and told they had to attend the homeschool group and enrol the boys in sports. Australian homeschool moderators are very strict.

I don’t think the homeschool moderators are that strict in WA, I remember Chloe saying they only visit once a year, remember her mad scramble with all those photos she put in a book together with the magically appearing worksheets. Her self absorption and laziness will cost those kids for many years to come.

The fruit platters are back which means snatching, grabbing and scoffing of the food by Evan, urgh.

I know someone mentioned about the chewing of the food with their mouths open, I think that has to do with having to breath through their mouths all the time.

[ShudnaB3]

I hadn't noticed she has a highlighted stories category called "food" on Instagram...sooo many boomerangs of her kids eating, how is that appetising? Literally watching food go in and out of a kids mouth. Gross.

Also there's an unanswered comment on the bookshelf insta where someone asks what Chloe and Rohan like to read themselves, "aside from Harry Potter"...oh silly commenter, you haven't been paying attention, Chloe has never even read Harry Potter and neither of those adults have time and brainspace to read without cutting into their Netflix hours!

Well i think (and hope) that the once a year was because Evan wasn't yet in a compulsory year, he is in year 1 now, meaning he is required to go to school and he is supposed to match certain milestones even if Chloe doesn't care about them, last year he wasn't required to go to school, Chloe just registered him when he was 4.

The open mouthed chewing could be from that, don't understand why they haven't had it looked at if that is the case though.

[ShudnaB3]

I just realised she's back to her obsessive pattern creating with her Instagram grid again...alternating food and kids. What a dull person.

Also looking at her Instagram stories...why was she in such a rush to get rid of using a pram when every time they're at the shops they're shoving along a trolley of kids...? Seems like even keeping one single pram on hand for whichever child wasn't up to walking that day would be more sensible than that. Especially when they've got Pearl standing in the front part of the trolley. So unsafe, but I guess she's just so sassy that way.

I just read an article that avocado, kiwi fruit, butternut squash, almonds and broccoli are usually not vegan and shouldn’t be included in a strict vegan diet. Don’t know what that’s means for the vegan Dunstans, poor kids will have more gruel dished up if they can’t eat any of those foods.

When I reflect on Chloe’s videos and how she portrays herself to the camera I notice 2 things. The first thing I notice is that unlike other youtubers she doesn’t seem at all comfortable in front of the camera. The second thing I notice is that she doesn’t appear naturally maternal at all, almost like she had kid cause it was ‘cool’ and they’re like an accessory to her if you know what I mean.

I think you're spot on, Chloe loves attention, that is what she is looking for. She has discovered that she herself is not interesting (like at all) so she shows of her kids which gives her attention because she is such a good mom. Same with the food plates, the clothing, being vegan, almost forcing her kids to read, she knows what gets her attention and what doesn't. I truly want to believe she didn't just start vlogging because of that but i'm pretty sure this is why she is still doing it, the whole not posting for a week because "they are soooo busy" and asking people if they miss them is just a cry for attention.

She has no self esteem (related to her food issues and body image) which causes her to not appear natural in front of a camera, i almost think that she believes she does sound and look comfortabele but really she doesn't. She was a loner in high school, enslaved Rohan and never again had to be sociable so i'm pretty sure that she has no clue how to actually be that, because to be that she has to know who she is, which is what most people find out in their late teens and early twenties but by then she was already popping out babies.

And yes i think that she had a kid because she thought it was cool (this may sound rude but that seriously is the vibe i got from her Tumblr page) and when she discovered that having a kid got her attention she just continued onwards.

She actually fits a quote from the tv series the big bang theory, "you don't have a personality, you just have some shows you like".

From today's vlog: Darker Barney = evil Barney. Ugh. I turned it off.

[DoodleBop2]

She was trying to get pregnant again when she was very ill and still in recovery from having Felix. She wrote blogs about how she resented him for not being able to breastfeed. She didn't like him. Yet was TTC.

What was she implying with the Barney?

[sadie]

She looks great in her new insta pic. Way more flattering to be wearing jeans and a top rather than leggings and a huge dress over it.

[DoodleBop2]

Life is too short to do what you don't wanna do - but her kids have to eat cauliflower "sauteed" in water.

I agree she looks a tinier bit better without those ugly jumpers but they are not jeans, they are jeggings, I highly doubt she could not find jeans to fit her stomach, even those jeggings look uncomfortably tight.

I love how she actively admitted that she does not school her children, of course that is because she is lazy to, and has changed the age she was when she got together with Ro, still way too young to have been in a relationship with an older man and where would that sit with the authorities

[ShudnaB3]

She does look good, though because she is so personality-less on camera it just strikes me as funny imagining her trying so hard to get this pic...cram jeans on, work angles, purse lips, arrange hair over each shoulder, pop hip, bellow: "Quick Ro, take the photo!!"

[ShudnaB3]

I will admit her posing has improved from some of her earlier efforts, such as:

Keep Still and These Children Will Leave:

Crazed Doll:

Toddler In A Tent Top, Take 1:

Toddler In A Tent Top, Take Two:

Bewildered Teapot:

Stoned Teapot:

The Rainbow Cardi Flasher:

And my personal favourite...

I agree. She does look good and she’s obviously slimmed down quite a bit.

However, I hate when she twists her damn foot like that. Looks unnatural and uncomfortable and it just irks me because it looks like she’s going to break her ankle. Also, that hair has got to go. It adds like 10 pounds to her face. At least cut it to mid or lower back and add some layers. You know, what normal people still would consider “long”. But alas, she thrives off the attention her freakishly long hair brings. Just like the attention the boys hair used to bring in

If she'd get some layers in her hair so she didn't just have the long hair like the girl from The Ring.

Did she tuck the sweater into her jeans or is it rolled up? I get it. Her legs look great but her tummy is a mess I can see why she'd cover up her tummy.

I took a year internet break and I see nothing has really changed. So boring. All they did was open an overpriced store full of books that I could get from Big W for half the price. Oh, and moved to an equally boring home. Still no seating for adults. They all look slightly healthier but Ro seems even more depressed. Chloe's new obsessions are beds, herself and pretending to be a bookworm, though I doubt she has read an adult book in her life. Evan is reading books that I didn't fully comprehend until I was 12 or so. The fifth Harry Potter book is intense and so inappropriate for him (coming from an extreme Potterhead). Did I miss anything?
