Tannerites/YAWI

Yeah, another period related title today, these people are definitely a little obsessed with their daughters' menstrual cycles lol. Did anyone else not even ever tell their parents (except maybe at first) when they were on theirs? Like it's definitely something normal and natural but that doesn't mean it needs to be talked about all the time.

It gets the clicks and the money pours in. Gotta do whatever they can to keep the cash flow.

Yes-- I told my mom the first time. That's all. Unless I needed supplies. And I wasn't ashamed. But I just didn't need to announce it every month! Later, when my endometriosis started acting up, everyone knew because I basically took to bed with a heating pad. But other than that, nope.

Why do they have the word WHY above their cupboards? Just to make us ask questions? Lol

What's up with their youngest, Canyon? He seems so unruly. I get that he's 2, I had my own 2 year olds too, but basically every time he's on the vlog he's crying or throwing a fit. Also, is it normal for a 2 year old to still be drinking a bottle? AND to basically be having 2 naps still?

I know a lot of families tend to keep the youngest child like a baby for longer (though I never found the appeal), but I wonder if Mormons take it to the extreme because they're all about having lots of children. Bonnie is a good example of this with Lincoln and they seem to be doing the same with Canyon. He acts much younger than two and the parents encourage it.

Canyon is annoying. I know he's only 2 but it seems like he's always acting out and all they do is put him in the corner for like 2 minutes. What does that even accomplish? It seems like it's usually for hitting or biting one of the other kids. He throws these ridiculous tantrums and they're just like oh "gego" needs a bottle and a nap.

I don't get the boys' names. The girls all have pretty, "normal" names, and they go and name the boys Branson, Azbury, and Canyon? At first, when they were calling Azbury "Az", I was afraid they had named him "Aslan". Then I was thinking, maybe it's where they were conceived? The girls get "normal" names, but the boys have to have unique names? Is it a Utah Mormon thing? The Binghams gave their boys "unique" names too-- Brexson (sp??), Ryler, and Crew. Crew??? And whenever they say Brexson, I think of Brexit.
And I wish these people would leave their girls' menstrual cycles alone. I am all for reducing stigma. But they just look like they are mortified every time their mom gleefully goes on about their cramps.

I was kind of wondering if his speech isn't making his fits worse, I feel like he has some kind of speech delay or
impediment.. Obviously drinking out a bottle isn't helping and being the youngest but it seems he has a hard time communicating.

[nlewis214]

I have wondered the same thing. He sounds like he mumbles or makes sounds then says random words semi-clearly. He seems to understand when they speak to him, he just can't seem to form enough words to speak back.

That girl needs to get out and live some. I'm 21 and like dolls, but not like that. I collect American Girl dolls and such. I wonder if her parents aren't allowing her to grow up or she honestly doesn't know that it's weird to get dolls at 16. Makes me wonder if her friends are the same way

Did they take the doll video down??

I don't see the doll video either, it's like she is 13 and I believe it's her parents fault, I remember they were all having "the talk" (can't remember exactly when but I believe it was a year ago or so) and Ali was so clueless about everything, I don't know if they were acting or if it was real but I was shocked.

While I think that the family is generally quite likeable (read: not absolutely awful … but maybe I just like the two oldest girls), I definitely agree with them not having the ‘chops’ for daily vlogging. On the first page, it’s mentioned how they described the contents of their freezer, I remember a vlog where the mom said “Now we enter the elevator” while … well, entering the elevator (the heck?) – but the Sweet-16-video negatively stuck out to me because I struggle to imagine that the kids featured in this video (and/or their parents, for that matter) were entirely cool with them being in a YouTube video

That’s an issue I have seen with a lot of vloggers (predominantly the more ‘awkward’ ones) however

[pleasecleanyourhouse]

The first video of Tannerites I saw was the back to school shopping haul and back then I thought that it's kind of nice that a 15-year-old doesn't choose clothes just to impress others but instead she cooses something she feels comfortable wearing (even if I don't personally like these clothes), but then I watched more of their videos and I realised that she's just very immature and childlish and basically it's this family that is so weird about some stuff I just can't

I just hope Danill will get a chance to run away from their toxic little mormon bubble, she just has this rebellious spark

Do the girls not have middle names? Just wondering if that’s a Mormon thing or a Griffiths family thing (Ellie, Bonnie, etc)

I'm not sure, I used to watch April and Davey and I know the youngest has a middle name so I don't know if it's more common with Mormons or just a Griffiths thing.

That’s possible, but I don’t know for sure – I personally don’t have a second name, and my mother once told me that middle names are more of a Catholic thing, at least in my country
Actually, I used to think that having a middle name was a requirement in the USA, so you mentioning this does surprise me a bit
