8 Passengers: No Rules & Private Schools | Part 9

No. You get disabled parking if you have some kind of disability that prohibits you from walking well-- heart or lung disease, back issues, missing a limb, diabetes with peripheral neuropathy.
NOT being short. It may affect her ability to drive, but she can walk just fine.

Today she was saying something about Eve not growing...what’s that about? Genetics?

[Tiger27]

I’m also confused about the Eve not growing thing also. Has she taken her to the doctor for this? Was the doctor concerned or is this just Ruby deciding she’s concerned be Shari turned out abnormally short? I really think Shari’s just short mostly because of genetics and maybe a poor diet due to growing up. Is Eve really even that small? I know it’s hard to tell heights on camera but all the the Griffiths are short people. She isn’t all that much shorter than Russell and she appears to be at a healthy weight...if her max height is going to end up somewhere around Shari’s, extra calories are just going to chunk her up, not make her grow. I hope she’s actually consulted a doctor about this and isn’t just making this all up because she’s concerned about the appearances of short stature.

I don't even know where to start with today's vlog. The drama!

I stopped watching months ago but I think she did go to the doctors with Eve and he said he was concerned. The vlog after that she was forcing Eve to eat cheese and eggs, because she thinks it's because Eve doesn't eat enough. I personally think Eve eats to little and everything she eats is Griffiths junk.

If it is due to her not eating enough, she should go to a nutritionist, not force her to eat eggs and cheese. That made me sick to watch. It's just going to give Eve issues around food. Buy some Pediasure.
My impression was that she hadn't gone to the doctor about Eve's growth. That she had just noticed Eve wore the same size when they went school shopping. Maybe I'm wrong, but that was what I understood from what she said.

That’s what I understood from her talk as well but according to the above poster, apparently not? Could someone share the video where they say the doctor is concerned? She did say in today’s video that she ordered some pediasure and was going to keep pushing foods like eggs, whole milk, and cream. Umm, you child needs nutrients, not just fats. I’m with you, she needs to see a nutritionist. She doesn’t seem hugely concerned if it took her this long to order some pediasure.

ruby is tall for women standards (5'8") and kevin is not short either, so I don't understand shari or eve being so short.
all the other kids are pretty tall
this family has a poor diet anyway, they eat VERY small portions for dinner and snack on junk food.

[f4k_oyevey]

An interesting observation to me in regards to Eve and Shari is that they seem to be built similar. Eve looks like Shari's clone from when Shari was younger. Curious to see what her growth pattern ends up being. I think the theories that Shari and Chad may have suffered from some forms of malnutrition due to both financial and educational levels may be accurate.

What is frustrating to me is that now (as opposed to when Shari was growing up) they have a lot more resources available to them. They have the financial means to purchase any food they wish and in theory access to medical professionals and specialists.

I'm very curious, as others have posted, if the doctor did indeed express concern in Eve's measurments or this is a Griffith diagnosis. I'm horrified that her solutions are force feeding the kid strawberry Pediasure & "whole milk, cream, eggs, protein..." What does she even mean by cream? Lord help them or Eve if any of the family got "mills" with whole grains, fresh vegetables and fruits (not in the form of a milkshake or roll up) and lean healthy proteins. BYU has a nutrition & food science program, the resources are out there. However, Griffiths know best = full fat dairy products, refined carbs, and sugar...lots of sugar, (aka "treats").

I think Kevin gets a more rounded meal eating at the school cafeteria along with the dorm kids who are on a meal plan.'

I'd be so curious to know what the Griffith clans cholesterol levels are!

Kevin is average height (~5'10"), but Ruby isn't that tall. The mom from the Tannerites/Yawi vlog said in a vlog that she's 5'7" and when they all went to Thailand together a while back, Ruby was obviously a couple of inches shorter than her (both wearing similar shoes). So I'd put her at 5'4" or 5'5", which is average for a woman.

I think Shari mentioned on her own vlog channel that the doctor said part of the reason could be because of the surgery she had as a baby where they had to remove some of her intestines, which I guess could affect nutritional absorption and such when she was younger.

Now that you mention it, it could be Ruby looking at the size clothing. I'm sorry, I thought it was the doctor, but now I think you are right

She never takes her kids to the doctors anyways

[LydiaE]

I don’t believe either parent exhibits signs of NPD. They’re just lazy (Ruby) and self-absorbed (Kevin).

It’s very odd, because when her channel began, Ruby was all about the kids’ music and reading. The easy money must have fueled her inclination towards laziness.

A lot of these women who have tons of kids just enjoy the attention they get while pregnant and toting around an infant. Once the kids become sentient, they lose all interest.

Ruby hasn't taken Eve to the doctor, which I totally don't understand considering Shari's height.

They bought clothes and Ruby noticed that Eve was wearing the same size for the last 18 (?) months. After that she forced her to eat egg and cheese. Now she obviously has ordered some shakes or whatever to make her grow. How on earth doesn't she take Eve to the doctor before trying to self medicate her? Maybe there's a serious problem behind it, which should be tackled early on.

Ruby and Shari talked about their heights in one of the vlogs and if I remember correctly, Shari is 4`11 and Ruby 5`3. So even taking into consideration that Ruby isn't very tall, her being 5´3 and Kevin being taller, Sharis height is surprising (concerning?). Maybe she and Eve have the same condition, but Shari was never taken to the doctor about it, as Eve isn't now.

That's what Ruby answered under yesterday's vlog:

Shari height is definitely concerning. I always thought you would grow about as tall as your parents. Obviously there can be some difference but 4'11 is a big difference from 5'3. I'm almost 6' and my mom is about 5'6 but my father is 6', so I'm in between, which I always thought was normal.

Regarding Shari’s intestine surgery...she literally says in the video she had to have a few inches of her intestines cut out and then was switched from breast milk to a “nasty gross formula milk instead of the normal breast milk so maybe I didn’t get the nutrients I needed at that age so maybe that stunted my growth” all said with a confused look on her face, she’s literally just hypothesizing on that one. No doctor ever told her that and medically, that surgery or being formula fed shouldn’t have had any effect on her growth.

Maybe Shari, your parents overproduced and could afford to feed you a balanced diet so your growth was stunted??

Or maybe the just lost the genetics lottery in that category. Either way, she’s handling the situation now with Eve poorly. Feeding her cream to help her grow taller?! Seriously? How about seeing a pediatrician and discussing your concerns with a medical professional first. Determine if there’s even a real problem, then develop an actually healthy plan to tackle that problem.

Eve is going to get constipated with all of that dairy.
If a baby is not gaining enough weight post birth and a lot times the pediatrician will recommend mixing formula with breastmilk to add a little more fat to their diet. I blame this all on poor health and their parenting skills. Just like when Russel fell off the couch when he was a newborn and they never took him in, or when Julie was a toddler and was constantly peeing out of her diaper because Ruby was too busy to tend to her.

Ruby said that have a high carb diet and that’s because bread and pasta is cheap and fills you fast. If that’s all they’re eating they surely are missing a ton of nutrients.

All that fat is just going to chub her out. How about some lean protein and veggies?
Like I said, if she's so concerned, go to a nutritionist.
My mom wasn't growing enough, and they stuffed her with food and made her clean her plate. She had food issues all her adult life.
