General consensus is that Jared hits a drive thru whenever he's out.
Plus, he guzzles Dr Pepper. Soda adds a lot of empty calories.

I definitely think he has food hidden in his office that he snacks on while he’s “editing” (cruising Grindr?) and Ellie is asleep and/or while Ellie is asleep he sneaks out and hits the drive thru. My 4yo eats more than that for dinner and she’s tiny
Here’s our weekly (daily?) suck up post from Jared about how amazing Ellie is

When does she give anything? I feel sorry for the church teens she gave her used makeup too before they moved. Herps the gift that keeps on giving you uncomfortable talks before starting a new relationship.. Its the yt. Ellie strain barf
(Sorry if this doesn't format correctly, first time posting). First, lol, at Jared "editing"/cruising grindr. Second, if you guys are interested, there is a great podcast/youtube channel called "Mormon Stories [Podcast]" which I highly recommend. It is illuminating. It has been covering what seems like a "mass exodus" of members from the mormon church and why they left. Some/most of the recent interviews are riveting.
The shittiest part of all of the jared situation, is that his parents seem, for lack of a better term, "better" than the Griffiths. They seem more educated, and they also seem less "conservative" than the Griffiths. Maybe I'm reading the situation wrong. Idk. E+J haven't been doing it for me lately... The fact that Ellie was/is so baby obsessed,when she can hardly mother the two she already has is...sad. I can't imagine how adding another child to the mix would help. But that seems like a mormon cultural thing (adding more babies to a family, in efforts to fix a larger unspoken issue)... It just seems rather bleak. :/

Of course when she finally gets up and does something (potty training) she doesn't feel like herself and has issues. Nope sorry I'm calling bullshit here. It reminded me of their cancer vlog. Very rude and demeaning to people who have or have had cancer and now they go for mental health. Click bait is all it is. Honestly I wouldn't wish mental health issues on anyone. It is the hardest thing I have ever had to deal with.
I don't know if I'd say she has the "perfect" life- who knows what's going on behind the scenes... But absolutely, everything you say is spot on. It was very disappointing. Mental illness is awful.
Absolutely anyone can deal with mental illness, that’s why it’s called an illness. It’s completely unfair to decide that someone can’t have difficulties with their mental health just because they have a “perfect” life. For example, a lot of people might say that I have the perfect life. My college education is paid for (I’m majoring in psychology with plans to be a Psychiatrist), my grades are excellent, I’ve been with my boyfriend for four years (we met in high school), and I had a happy childhood in a happy, whole, upper middle class family. Surprise! I still deal with depression and anxiety. Why? My mom had it, and her mom before her, and her mom before her. Despite feeling completely secure in myself and my life, I’m not always happy. Everyone should feel comfortable seeking help for and talking about their struggles. I’m honestly shocked to see people here shaming someone over this just because they think that person “should’ be happy.

Because of their predictable behavior it comes off as force to have a catchy title and be on the trending page again. I agree that people with “perfect life” can suffer from mental illness but with Ellie as hard as it’s going to sound it sounds like another “hello I’m Ellie I need attention” behavior.

Thank you, that's exactly what I've been thinking. I feel like anyone that suffers from mental illness should know better and support people when they speak out, not shame them and say they're doing it for attention, etc. That's the exact opposite of what we would like to be done to us.
I would never say someone struggling with their mental health is lying, even if it's someone I dislike like as E+J. Seems like a special mental illness version of the pain olympics.
I just realised they are at 1.3 M subscribers. They hit 1 million last year, as they did the IVF grant the first time. So they've only gained 300,000 in the last year, sounds pathetic. How many subs are they losing a day?
I can see Ellie having mental health issues (Jared as well) but the sad thing is she'll never seek professional help outside of the church and she'll continue trying to convince herself and thousands of people that all is well.
We all know she thrives off attention but at the same time it's so much pressure to be no less than perfect.
If she wasn't such a shitty person, I'd almost feel bad for her.
Quote tree was getting long, but Ellie is the champion of the pain Olympics.
I am not meaning to "shame her", but her MO is that everything is about Ellie, and if someone else is getting attention for something, she needs to get in on it too.
Maybe we should take it at face value that Ellie really does suffer from anxiety and depression. But I am betting she isn't seeing anyone about it. Last year, she pretty much said her "anxiety" was cured by getting the new house. And the only reason she's ever been grouchy was because she had acne. So some of us who have been watching her for a while find her a tad disingenuous and take it with a large grain of salt.

Wait, in the US you can become a psychiatrist without being a medical doctor?

I would never dream of shaming someone who sought help for mental illness. I didn't like the nonchalant approach Ellie took to it in her public vlog; that is a very different thing.

I'm a pre med psych major so I intend to go to medical school.
I hope YouTube permanently demonitizes them for using cancer & illness as clickbait. Poor Jackson has to deal with his ugly, non verbal brother Calvin & a narsasistic mother. Jackson is an absolute angel & I'm not sure where he gets it from. E & J are absolutely disgusting & appalling. Ellie needs to stop showing her herpes lip on camera. BARF. Jared is fake, unrelatable, and his sexuality is questionable. There is NOTHING wrong with being gay at all, but he is DEFINITELY hiding it. Come out already...
A while back I watched the Griffiths Throwback Videos again and in one video Ellie jumps on the kitchen counter and screams "I'M THE BOSS!!" extremely aggressively in Ruby's face. Ruby looked annoyed af and it was silent in the room before the scene cut off. Ellie has always been the attention seeker in the family and even as a little child in these videos she seems to be completely crazy. I don't know if this IS her actual character or if something happened in her very early life that made her become like this. Also, I'm in no way supporting her behavior but I know what it feels like to loose your mind because of mental health issues and my behavior wasn't the exact same but there definitely are similarities. There were times when I only had mean things to say, I did weird things and acted really off. Luckily I come from a household that takes mental health really seriously and so I got help quickly but since Ellie doesn't seem to realize that what she's saying and doing is unhealthy and it's NOT just because of Thyroid issues I don't see her getting better. And it's only going to get worse when the baby is here. She's the kind of friend that would quit talking with you if you would advise them to get serious professional help even if you said that out of worry for your friend. She'll think you're overreacting and a little bit of prayer and a baby will make everything better.
