C&K: Marital Woes, Becoming Like Foes | Part 19

Unread post by **Scar2016** » Tue May 01, 2018 12:36 am

Continue here folks.

Well, the last thread was aptly named Tankful of Marital Issues and we are closing and opening a new thread with these issues continuing, as per their most recent vlog of Katie's crying car monologue. A police car followed her into the parking lot immediately preceding said car crying and discovered she'd forgotten to update her car license and tags but it's ok, it's not Katie's fault, she blamed it on them moving house.

Katie got ratchet extensions that she took into the ocean with her on spring break and Jay had to try and untangle them with a kitchen fork. He failed. When they got home she had them taken out, so no more whipping or nae nae-ing her hair back and forth.

Cullen had to go stay in the hospital for a few days with an infection on his face and Katie went and stayed with him while their 'village' took the kids. Apparently The Village is the new name for their subscribers now. Cullen has also taken a year to set up his home office.

Katie's kids clothing addiction continues unabated, as does their eating out several times a week (despite Cullen being stressed about money) and their lack of general motivation to have a healthier lifestyle.

Despite a floundering channel they didn't go to Playlist to sit and listen to some of the advice panels on how to grow and improve your channel.

Oh, and Brooks continues to be the demon child in Katie's eyes, while Gaines is her perfect can-do-no-wrong mini me.

I always defended their new house purchase because of the shitty yard at the other house. The new yard is shittier than the old one. It isn’t fenced, it isn’t flat and the kids spend their time on a huge pad of concrete in the driveway. Why haven’t they bought them a swingset/jungle gym yet? Oh yeah, because there is no where to put it!

I get the car thing. When I had only 2 we went from a smaller SUV to a Expedition, we needed the space!

Hey girls!This is my first post on ytmd.
I have started watching C&K when they were pregnant woth Gaines.At that time i was pregnant as well and i started watching several fam vloggers(apart from shaytard which i could not stand).I had my little one just a week before gaines so i found it interesting to see the similarities between them.I am shocked by how much they have change in the past 2 years.i get they are depressed but they are not trying to improve their situation.i do understand where their issues come from,believe me! My father struggled with depression for the better part of his life,it drains you if you don't seek help.But he tried,he actually got off the couch,took us to ballet lessons,to the park,holidays with the fam++++ he had a full time job. Sorry for the rant but i just don't get how they let their life go to waste like that

Worth to be remembered also is that Katie said she couldn't even anymore, referring to their marriage. She said it while filming in Cullen's hospital room. It wasn't as a matter of speaking, she meant it.

Maybe they should invite the Ohana adventure over for a weekend.

I want to comment on the vlog and ask them what in the hell they do all day everyday.

Didn’t they buy the suburban AFTER they moved to the new house?? So how the hell is the registration going to the old house?

Where I live, you get an extra ticket for failing to notify the mva of address changes

Yep..same here. How can you be so irresistible? I just don’t get it. I bet her sister thinks she’s a complete shithead.

My first post!! Just my two cents on C&K and it probably come out in a jumbled mess because my thoughts are all over the place. I think Gaines is the golden child in Katie's eyes because she reminds her of when the times were all good. They were happy living in their old house, which was plenty big enough for them. Their channel was growing and doing well and there were seemingly no money worries. Everything was going great in life and their marriage was great, well as far as they led us to believe. After Brooks was born they moved into the new house, bought the new car, then money struggles ensued and soon the marriage issues began, she probably associates Gaines with good times before stress and Brooks with all of the stressful times in their lives, that is why she doesn't gloat over Brooks like she does Gaines. Gaines is clearly the favorite child and all the forced family fun videos aren't going to do anything to change peoples opinions on that.

Katie is used to it being the Katie show, all Katie all the time. Being the youngest child with affluent parents afforded her the ability to be spoiled and feel entitled. If it was always her "plan" to be a stay at home mom then why did she waste all of her parents money attending an expensive school and then getting her doctorate if she didn't intend on using that doctorate to support herself. Before YT was even on the horizon, she had already planned on not working after having children, again...what Katie wants Katie gets. Kelly is a SAHM whose husband can afford their lifestyle but I would be willing to bet if Jay lost his practice tomorrow, Kelly would do whatever it took to help support her family.

I am by no means a Cullen fangirl but he got the short end of the stick when it comes to shouldering the blame for their marital woes. Katie is not willing to accept any responsibility for their problems and I'm guessing isn't doing anything to help fix it. If you marriage is crumbling, put down the camera and focus on your family and either saving your marriage or going your separate ways. Get real jobs to support your lifestyle and still vlog if you want to, you used to do that remember? If something doesn't change soon they are going to be living in Jim & Dolly's apartment before long.

I bet they’re fighting about the house. He knows they can’t keep it and she won’t give it up. That’s probably why “the lawn service” hasn’t come yet..blah blah blah. They can’t afford that kind of stuff anymore. She prob pissed at his “office” too. He made a mancave and has somewhere to hide away from all her hen pecking. She might think it’s a game playing porn station...who knows. These two are grasping at invisible straws and sinking fast. Clueless, lazy, entitled idiots.

I personally think a big stressor is if they were to separate, (most likely) their YouTube careers would be done since it’s a joint channel. And (gasp) Katie wouldn’t be able to be a stay at home mom and actually go back to work. Cullen would obviously have to find something as well!

Why can’t one of them find a job, being away from each other a few hours a day would work wonders. I think while Brooks is still young, Cullen should be out working. My hubby and I agreed that while the kids were young, I would stay home. We had the kids, we take care of them not babysitters. When they were in school, I worked P/T so my schedule fit theirs for after school activities, homework, etc. why can’t they work a schedule like this? It could be either one to work and stay home with kids. Marriage is give and take, it’s not easy, but their are options to make more money while putting the kids first.

Anyone have any idea what the name of the company he was laid off from a few years back was? I just wonder if this is new, or if this was the dental company he worked for before.
I’m not sure that he was a software developer then, I thought he did something with reading X-rays or something to that extent. I hope he’s picked up a side hustle.

I was wrong. They got the suburban before they moved to the new house.

That was crazy about the fish. I knew betas would jump out of a tank but I didn’t know other fish would do that as well. Poor fish. :/

They are becoming more and more boring by the day. I don’t need or want to see Katie hosing off the deck.

A thought i just had... Cullen talks about Katie's "bad day" at the end of the vlog today, saying that she had a really bad day that ended with her crying on the vlog in the car. He admitted that part of the reason why she had a bad day was bc of him. She didn't get upset yesterday until after the cop pulling her over and finding out all the stuff she had let slip. Now i wonder if Cullen chewed her out for not having all that stuff up to date and that was why he was apologizing for making her day worse. First off, yes it's partially Cullen's fault that those things weren't done, i mean he is an adult that drives the car... but if things are still like they were back in the old house, Katie was the one who paid bills and kept up with the finances. If that job is still "her job" i can see why Cullen had a right to voice his opinions on what happened (especially with her License, it's not like Cullen can renew them for her) . Cullen, if Katie was the one responsible for getting all that stuff done and she dropped the ball, she kinda deserves to have a chewing out. (no i'm not condoning verbal abuse or anything of the sort..) I can see Cullen saying something to her about what if the kids were with you and the cop wasn't so understanding? They could have EASILY thrown her in jail for no license and no proof of insurance (both of those things *can* get you a trip to jail in the state of GA at least) and towed the car for both reasons too. Hefty fines as well. Katie probably doesn't get "in trouble" much (probably been that way her whole life) and i can see how her breaking down for vlog sympathy could be caused by Cullen calling her out on her mistakes... Flip side of that could be that he said it was partially his fault bc HE was supposed to be the one taking care of the car tags and the insurance cards (still doesnt get her off the hook for an expired license) and he was the one who caused the whole mess to begin with bc he didn't do the things she thought he was responsible for. Just something i was thinking about while i watch the clock at work this afternoon. lol

Dentsply International is now Dentsply Sirona. They merged in 2015. I think this is when Cullen was laid off on account of the merger. I don't believe he's worked there since.

Focusing on “new adventures” ... liiike... getting a job? Paying bills on time? Those would all be new to C&K.
