C&K: Marital Woes, Becoming Like Foes | Part 19
Re: C&K: Marital Woes, Becoming Like Foes | Part 19
Boy, Katie is full of piss and vinegar during this trip; sick or not, she is being so"whiny". Posting pictures of what a love muffin Brooks is doesn't negate how Katie treats him. Someone mentioned a few pages back how she turned her back on Brooks while he was in a baby pool to help Gaines with her goggles. I'm not sure if it was the same vlog or not, but Cullen was doing handstands with Brooks and Katie said "oh wow, he's never done it good before". He's 2.

Granddolly is a hard core Trump fan, so I guess Cullen and Katie are too. Poor Brooks and Gaines.

Ya'll totally missed my point, but whatever.
Spooky - I believe she said that because Gaines was doing those before she was 1, so naturally Katie has to compare everything against Brooks. He has a lot of competing to do with his sister as he grows up, poor kid.

I have no issue with boys wearing dresses, or girls wearing suits and ties...I have no issue in dressing your kids in gender neutral clothing.. but i also have no issue with a parent dressing their baby girl in pink dresses or their boys in blue football jerseys... I 100% agree that they portray gender stereotypes, but i'm also 100% guilty of dressing my girl in "girl" clothes and my boy in "boy" clothes. If my son wanted a pink sweater, i allowed it.. if my girl wanted a "boys" dino shirt, i also allowed it. But i also allowed her to wear a sparkly princess dress for 3 weeks straight.lmmomSD wrote:(can't quote because site won't load older messages
PlaysinRain, I get your point, and I can see where this would seem like nitpicking. But these two really push gender roles, and have been dressing Gaines as a cheerleader since she was born. There are very definite expectations in that household. I think it's wonderful that you are so open minded, but C&K obviously aren't. If they were, they wouldn't have liked that comment.
And I agree 100% that it has really got nothing to do with being Christian. My parents were very active in the Episcopal church, and I was brought up with close family friends who were long term partners. My dad took care of one of them when he was dying of AIDS. Because that's what being Christian meant to them-- love thy neighbor. Not love thy straight, white neighbors.

As i said in my original post on the previous page, it disappoints me that they have taken this stance. I'm honestly not surprised (bible belt) that they think it, but absolutely surprised that they have condoned this type of thought publicly on their channel. I mean we all know Missy is a raging homophobic, but at least she knows better than to open her mouth about the subject.
I have friends that are Episcopalian, and in my experience Episcopal's tend to do the whole "love thy neighbor" thing a WHOLE LOT BETTER than other sects, at least here in the south. (I recently stood up and walked out of a local baptist church we were attending for a family members baptism bc the preacher started bashing the LGBT community during his sermon. I love my relatives, but MY family will not be back in that church.)

I'm pretty sure that telling your child that when they grow up they can marry the person that they love and have a family together is far less complex then restricting it by saying man or woman. There is no difference between a homosexual couple and heterosexual couple, nothing complex about one marriage compared to the other now that everything is legal. It is a non-issue for children unless you make it into one.japaluvr wrote:If they didn’t like the comment about Adam and Steve, it wouldn’t be a big issue. Saying to a THREE year old “when you marry (opposite gender) or (same gender)” is too complex for any child at that age, despite how advanced a child is. It’s pretty darn common no matter where you live that a parent will say the opposite sex because that’s the norm. As they grow older, or see same sex couples, that’s the best time to explain that it’s ok (if you believe in that) to love the same sex.
When you share daily videos or any content on social media platforms, you will always have differing opinions. With them, since they liked a comment that portrays homophobia, people are throwing a fit. I bet if no one said “man or a woman”, no one would have blinked.
I do agree that everything would have been fine if they hadn't started liking the snarky comments though. No one was bashing them or even calling them homophobic for their language, but just simply suggesting that it might be a good time to start more tolerant or gender-neutral terms. It is never too early to teach a child that it's okay for them to love every single person no matter their sexual orientation, and that they will be loved in return by their family. That's the point of using that kind of language, after all, not to push an agenda. If they disagree that's one thing, but there was no need to like the homophobic comments they were too chicken to write out themselves.

Re: C&K: Marital Woes, Becoming Like Foes | Part 19
I'm curious to know who actually liked the comment, Cullen or Katie. Not that it really makes a difference, the hate is still there, but i would be curious to know which of them decided to be so bold. I have a feeling it was Katie. She seems more close minded than Cullen in general and was obviously (by the new info i have on Dolly) raised in a home full of intolerance. Not only that, but i feel like Cullen is smart enough to not do something so polarizing on their bread and butter.

Re: C&K: Marital Woes, Becoming Like Foes | Part 19
I find it very telling that they were “liking” weird comments saying things like “She'll be married at 10 if she keeps getting so grown up so fast” and “It’s so sad to think that in like 15-16 years Gaines actually could be getting married” (Really? At 18 or 19? Not exactly the norm…) and “Awe man Cullen is gonna lose it when he has to give Gaines away to another guy!” and “Adam n eve not Adam n Steve” but being passive aggressive towards comments suggesting they say “man or woman of your dreams” or “teach your daughter that a woman doesn't need to get married to be happy.” They are just so backwards.
I had to laugh with the person who said, “Well ‘lucky’ for them they don’t get that many comments and views..” So true! Their channel is done and they’ll both have to get jobs soon that don’t involve putting their children online for a paycheck. Their desire to engage in such a way in the comment section is so unprofessional.

Glad to see they made Gaines return the ring she accidentally walked out with. I noticed it on her hand in the vlog after they were looking at it and wondered if they would address it, or if it would just disappear with no explanation, or if they bought it. It was innocent for MG, my kids have done the same type of thing, but i am glad they made a point of making her go back and return it and apologize and used it as a teaching moment. Now if they could get her to stop screaming at everyone all the time...

Re: C&K: Marital Woes, Becoming Like Foes | Part 19
What the hell was that shit show in the gift shop. I get that they were trying to teach her that you can only buy what you can afford and how things cost money etc etc. But to then just give her more money so she could afford what she wanted? They should have stuck to the budget and found something within that. What’s the point of the whole time saying ‘is that one dollar. Let’s find something for one dollar’ then she walks out with something that was two dollars. I appreciate its only an extra dollar but it’s the principle. All she’s learnt from that is if I want something I can’t afford mum and dad will cough up the extra cash......

I noticed the ring still on her immediately, they were looking at her hands a bunch with all the other stuff she was picking up and showing them. How did they not notice? I wouldn't be surprised if they let it happen on purpose for quality parenting content.Playsinrain wrote:Glad to see they made Gaines return the ring she accidentally walked out with.

I’m sure this is how Katie learned to handle her money, so of course it’s how Gaines is going to be as well. Just ask mommy and daddy for more money, that’s what Katie has lived by for 30+ years..freebeegal wrote:What the hell was that shit show in the gift shop.

Also, did Cullen ever upload the video footage from their podcast? They barely can get vlogs out on time, idk why he thought he’d be able to handle podcast.

So they cooked plenty of food for the 4 of them, yet they show Brooks eating pasta? He’s certainly on the pasta diet lol.

Re: C&K: Marital Woes, Becoming Like Foes | Part 19
I did think about that, but they also had all the kids in that store alone (at least until Kelly showed up later) so i'm gonna give them the benefit of the doubt, only bc it seemed like they had their hands full. And, either way.. even if they let her walk out with it, it was still the same to Gaines. She was still taught a lesson. If they did just let her walk out with it for the vlog, im sure that they didnt tell HER that.Punkincookie wrote:I noticed the ring still on her immediately, they were looking at her hands a bunch with all the other stuff she was picking up and showing them.

Re: C&K: Marital Woes, Becoming Like Foes | Part 19
So at what point do they transition from feeding their kids mac n cheese and corn dogs for dinner by themselves, to eating the same meal at the same time? One question my kids' pediatrician always asks is "Do you sit down and eat dinner as a family every night?" because so many studies have proven the many benefits of doing so. C&K? Nope. Candy all day every day, then corndogs and canned green beans followed by popsicles for dinner by themselves. When Gaines was spending her dollar, I would have given her an extra buck for her to pick something non-candy. A toilet full of sugar for her and airheads for their 1 year old? I can't imagine feeding my kids like that.

Re: C&K: Marital Woes, Becoming Like Foes | Part 19
Another thing about the whole "you have a dollar to spend" thing.... Why the hell did they pick the super expensive tourist trap gift shop inside the complex the beach house is in?? They were setting themselves up for failure from the get go. Spending only a dollar in that store was next to impossible unless they got candy. I know some of the shells and rings were a buck, but come on. They have toddlers. They want toys. the should have hit up a dollar tree or something else comparable. that mermaid doll was $18, the little cars were $6+ not only is that highway robbery to begin with, but they knew the kids would not be able to find anything in that store for a buck.

Re: C&K: Marital Woes, Becoming Like Foes | Part 19
I absolutely agree about junk food - why do they even have it in the house? Kids won't eat something that isn't there. They need to cut out junk food for their kids and for themselves and replace with healthier options. As for eating together, I do agree it's beneficial and depends on the family's schedule. Obviously we know C&K don't have one thus why they're (them and the kids) eating so late and having a late bedtime. For my family, my daughter is two and she eats alone at 5:15pm because her bedtime is 6:30-6:45pm due to 5:30am wake up for work, so we eat when she goes down for bed. I also make her healthy dinner options. Hubby cooks while I do the night time routine. Once she does get older we will start eating together because that's how we were both brought up. Again, it all depends on the family and their schedules so C&K should have no excuse to not eat together as a family since they don't have a set schedule.askeptichere wrote:So at what point do they transition from feeding their kids mac n cheese and corn dogs for dinner by themselves, to eating the same meal at the same time?

Re: C&K: Marital Woes, Becoming Like Foes | Part 19
After doing some research on the community (the name of which was clearly in the vlog) it's not so "country club".. any regular ol person can rent a home there and there are condos as well. Might be gated, but i dont think it's any more exclusive than any hotel with a front security gate. Actually had some pretty bad reviews on yelp, but those complaints were mostly about things the individual home owners that are renting out their property need to deal with. I dont think Dolly and Doc rent their home so thats totally not on them.askeptichere wrote:*Gasp!* You mean exiting the country club, private beach community bubble!?

(I do get your point and agree. Jay should have gave those kids at least $% each if he knew they were going shopping at that money pit. LMAO!)
