Overall, I still really like Angie and I always will. I've been subscribed to her since around the time they brought Rosie home from China. However, I do get the impression that she wears the pants in the relationship and that rather than being full of herself, she's just like a lot of people who use their social media to vent. Her husband still works. He's just been on paternity leave since the twins were born. He goes back to work sometime at the end of this month or the beginning of the next. They've never mentioned that they got to choose the ethnicity of the twins, just that if we wouldn't have known they weren't their biological children we never would've guessed it. I've been subscribed to Ashleigh for around a year and a half. She and her husband rent her parents old home from them. They moved to a property around three hours away that allows them to keep their horses on a neighboring property. They are considering moving to South Carolina sometime soon so they can do foster care. Peter is a guitar salesman, but recently got his relator's license and will begin working two jobs- selling guitars and as a relator. Eventually he'll only work as a relator. The quiet time seen in vlogs is a part of their daily routine. The little ones go down for naps and the older ones have quiet time during the same time frame. This is only for an hour or two in the afternoons. While I do agree Ashleigh is a bit unorganized for a mom of six and I don't agree with the whole un-schooling thing, I'm beginning to like her more than Angie. To me there's no problem with them having six children and wanting more. They can more than likely afford them and spend more time with them than the average given that the children are homeschooled.

I appreciate that Ashleigh doesn't show the other kids much. They deserve some privacy.

Just watched the name video. I don't hate the name Ivy, but I do like Ava and Amelia much better.

I like Angie but i wish she wouldn't talk over her husband and cut him off. She also disagrees with him a lot on camera which seems disrespectful.
If she's going to continue to be obsessed with red hair then she needs to learn what colours redheads suit. She loves that autumn that totally doesn't suit her with the hair. She would look stunning in green or blue

sorry double post

[monkeycircus]

I don't know that disagreeing on camera is disrespectful... people disagree all the time. I disagree with my husband, and it is never a disrespectful thing. It is just a difference of opinion and it is what it is. I would be more disturbed if they didn't portray reality...

[Caisflame]

Disagreeing with your husband is disrespectful? Ok didn't realize we were in the 50's.

I started watching them right after they brought Rosie home and I fell in love with that little girl! She is by far my favorite YouTube kid! She so sweet and sassy.

How do they have so much money to adopt so many kids?

I think Angie comes from a well off family + CR's job brings a good amount of income. They also hold fundraisers, sell shirts, old furniture etc to get some money from people wanting to donate. I remember them talking about how during JJ's adoption money was tight and how people came together to help them with the funds. I also remember the designs they made for shirts where all the money went to Rosie's adoption.

So CR has never had one on one time with Rosie since her adoption? Isn't that kinda sad?

They also took out a loan for at least one of the adoptions.

Did they say that? Cause I'm sure he has, seeing how comfortable Rosie is with him. I feel like it was more about naming the video, and making it a "date". A video that has a title like "Rosie spends an hour with his dad for the 19th time" is not going to do as well.

There's a difference between running errands alone with one kid or just playing with one kid and actually having a designated Daddy/Daughter date...

She said it was their first date on Instagram.

Well, yeah the video title was their first date. But you said it was their first one on one time, that's what I was wondering about.

I wish CR and Joel Hoellein would do a manly things video together. I think they would be best friends and maybe the families could swap knowledge about car seat safety and how to do sponsored videos. Youtube family collab of my dreams!

Bonnie would never listen to anything anyone has to tell her about car seat safety, because she's the ~mother~ and mother knows more than anyone else ever. Joel has such a old-school vibe to him that his attitude towards safety is like "I survived, so will they"
