Gaines abused the sharing concept actually in my opinion, underneath it just shows she isn't capable of sharing attention with her younger sibling, by not acknowledging the present to be solely for Brooks, and entirely independent of her. In the store she had trouble choosing something for Brooks, i.e. standing in his shoes. Cullen had to keep repeating himself. In between she could only come up with a cliche like a car. And even then, she had to bossy comment (as if she were the parent) that it made too much noise. Not wise for her age in a nice meaning in my opinion at all. Gaines herself isn't capable of sharing anything with Brooks in the slightest, doubling the reason (referring to someone somewhere above me who mentioned this) she doesn't have the right to ask Brooks to share. A couple of vlogs ago when they were riding on the animal cars, Brooks was approaching her and she loudly screamed "noo!". The footage was cut and in the next scene Brooks hit the wall and started crying. In other words it were Gaines' whishes that they accommodated to, because Brooks had turned around, and 2) Katie, who wasn't filming, didn't safe him from hitting the wall.
This also is an example of sharing. And again, the wrong person was being defended by Katie in my opinion - I believe Cullen as a male just goes along with the bandwagon, and he isn't the type to know or be interested in this kind of stuff. Besides, Katie is the psychology-know-it-all, so she can eat it. Also, Cullen was the one filming and Katie had her hands free as a parent. Gaines wasn't standing in her right to deny Brooks to drive there and demand he had to accommodate to her. She could have been confronted and being taught that she could turn around herself if she felt there wouldn't be enough room for both to pass the kitchen island. Or she could just slow down and carefully pass each other, adapting to Brooks who doesn't have the cognitive age to know and is much too small. Besides, isn't screaming the simplest of symptoms to see she is the one with the problem? But no Gaines is acting out the slightest frustration (Brooks wasn't even in the way yet) and Katie lets her, and reinforces her: both not tolerating normal-life frustration and being self-centered. Poor Brooks he would hit the wall seconds later. Yes Katie, your fault.
About the other thing, I agree and also don't want to start a debate, but we don't know what happened right before Gaines felt unhappy and, frankly, angry (or should you say upset in English?), because it was cut out and they didn't show. The scene started with Cullen asking an innocent question and Gaines refusing to answer because she was upset. And having mosquito bites on your legs just doesn't cover her response in my opinion, shouldn't she have scratched her legs and mowing in a different way lol. My guess is Cullen denied her something, in relation to Brooks, at least I surely hope so because she needs it. She is way too spoiled, emotionally that is (the worst of the two
).
Katie and Brooks cuddling and kissing yesterday, really really cute!
Gaines "asking" (more like commanding) Brooks to kiss her, not "ah so sweeeet!" at ll in my opinion, but more like jealousy, after Cullen asked Brooks to give him a kiss. Why doesn't she give _him_ a sweet hug? Gaines, you're not his parent. Katie apparently stopped confronting her about this, after having it done once in the vlogs mostly for show apparently, after I mentioned it in the comments. I was so happy back then and had my hopes up.
Katie confronting Brooks when he fell today: I told you when you would do this and this that you would fall. O please Katie when are you going to understand Brooks is more autonomous than Gaines, and that this is a plus to say the least. I know she loves her son, but she could be a little more understanding.
