This is a little off color..sorry.. 'pounding meat' comes to my mind when he says that, so it disturbs me greatly when he refers to his little children eating their food. It is usually unhealthy food that they are eating when he says this. I don't remember that any of the ferals were 'pounding' broccoli. Nobody should 'pound' anything. I am guessing he has done a lot of 'pounding' in his life so far, being that he doesn't have one, meaning a life. Not sure where I fit in with my level of class, knowing and thinking that phrase, which I do apologize for if it offends anyone.

I get it. I'm not offended that you said it. I find it offensive that _he_ speaks that way about his "precious miracles".OldCountry wrote:

Plus, if they were getting help off camera, we would see improvements in just 5 minutes or less. We don't see ANY improvements. None. If anything, we see some regression in certain areas.SassySassenach wrote:I think this goes back to the whole “miracle unfolding” crap they’ve branded themselves with. How dare any of us suggest that their children have anything “wrong” with them?! I still think it’s highly suspect that you have four kids born premature who have not had any intervention services. As parents, we want our children to be amazing and it can be a hard pill for some to swallow that their child might need some help. But to ignore those needs for the sake of marketing?? That’s neglect, plain and simple.DollarsToDonuts_9 wrote:This steams me up. Our son is speech delayed. He talks fine but it’s how he says certain sounds. His speech pathologist says to correct him.

I think it’s ok when your child is about 2 and saying things like peaches when they are grapefruit but I would still correct. But at 4, correction is mandatory. Nicely. Oh you got everyone one? Thank you. (She says peaches) Honey, you gave out grapefruit. Kids get easily confused and letting them make these kinds of mistakes feel lazy as a parent.
It’s funny... when the girls were about 18 months someone on Facebook got flamed for suggesting one of the girls needed to be checked. She said to her she seemed in her own bubble while everyone else was in reality. Then I saw more suggestions at 2. Now they are 4 and I wonder if those folks were on to something...
And if the Greedturds were to suddenly say “oh, they get help, we just don’t show you”, I would call total BS. They can’t help themselves with showing every part of their boring day.

Mean snark ahead:
Those girls are going to hard to find older boyfriends for at 13 to marry them off. Most Mormon bloggers I’ve seen it seems to be the main qualification for a wife is be beautiful. Well....those girls are not going to be cute. And with their diets and lack of actual activity they are not going to be fit.
But it’s ok! Maybe they will be able to snag a guy with their sparkling personalities! Oh wait.
It’s fine! A lot of guys are drawn to smart and driven women. Oh. Huh. Not really in the cards for them.
Well, a loaded bank account and rich mommy and daddy will attract some suitors. Not great ones probably, but it will help! Oh, wait, Tyson and Ashley are blowing through their money and that money will dry up as the girls age.
Welp.
Good luck, girls.

Maybe she's smarter than we give her credit for and knew what a slob she was. Maybe she knew she would need a place to put more junk piles out of sight. And she had to have the window, which took up cabinet space, so she could actually see all her junk. She's running out of room on her other countertops. They are so messy for a couple of parents home all day with their kids. Maybe that's why they won't finish their basement so they have an excuse for having it remain a hoarders dream.Mommasnark wrote: ↑Sat Mar 02, 2019 10:16 am I’m glad all of you are remembering other things wrong with the house.

I thought I remember someone saying at some point there was something wrong with the land they built on being less than desirable for some reason--therefore all the settling in the basement. I always thought they would have been better off buying a house with a finished yard and basement that was ready to go for their girls. It's not like there weren't a lot of big houses available where they live and in the long run could have been a lot cheaper for them. They had to have all the custom features and windows. Even back then, everyone could see how impractical it was to build that fish bowl and could foresee all the problems--like the clear front door which is now frosted over and the pantry which isn't used for the stated purpose.

Well you know they had to custom build their house because they aren’t a “normal” family! They do have four 4 year olds! Lol. Everyone now days has 4 kids and gets by with a regular house and a regular refrigerator. Hell the Bjnghams have 4 and 3 are boys who are going to be huge if they follow their dads height and eat a ton of food. They have a normal house and fridge. It’s laughable just because they are the same age doesn’t make your family size dynamic any different than anyone else’s.

Re: GQS| To catch a Predator: starring Tyson Gardner| Part 45
I’m not offended. This was my first impression as well. I asked my husband if he would use this word to describe something his children are doing and he looked at me funny and said no. You aren’t a dude and neither are they. He says men say this amongst each other but not when wives are around and certainly not to describe kids. He suggested he’s completely ignorant/clueless or a creep.OldCountry wrote: ↑Sat Mar 02, 2019 1:38 pm

Re: GQS| To catch a Predator: starring Tyson Gardner| Part 45
Making it a competition about how fast/much they eat isn’t going to bode well for the future BMI either I have a love/hate relationship with food. I love it, but constantly try to maintain a healthy weight. We were always encouraged as kids to eat large meals and that it was rude not to eat it all. Some days it does my head in trying to not eat unnecessary food just because it’s there, other days I just give in and eat crap all day. It can be a complete mind fuck. I guess if they are like Tyeatwhatiwantwheniwant and don’t care about their health, then it’s not something they will worry about later on.DollarsToDonuts_9 wrote:I raised eyebrows at that!

On a forever gross note, did you hear Tyson ask each girl how many they have “pounded”? And then says “we’re pounding - it’s a group effort”. I don’t know why but that grossed me out. You can’t just say your kids are eating?

Re: GQS| To catch a Predator: starring Tyson Gardner| Part 45
Ellie Mecham has an "appliance bar" in her pantry too. They custom built their Ice Palace. Maybe it's a Utah thing? I had never heard of it. And it seems weird. Why would you want to use your KitchenAid mixer or toaster or crock pot _in_ your pantry? I would rather have an island with outlets and a sink.
Stephanie Ravelli has the set up I would want for baking. She has that island with her drawers all set up for convenience.
Personal: I have a tiny condo with what feels like 1 square foot of counter space, so I pay attention to people's kitchens. And the Greedners set theirs up so strangely.

If it was a full on Butler's pantry or scullery off the kitchen with a sink I could see prep work taking place in it but they don't cook that often. It's not like she's doing a baking day and getting her baking done for the week or meal prepping or something. Even so that kitchen is big enough to do that. She just wanted to show off and it will make this home harder to sell which it will be as it is but all those details they ruined that house.
They talk to those girls like dogs or like frat boys. No middle ground.

Re: GQS| To catch a Predator: starring Tyson Gardner| Part 45
Not washing their hair seems to be a YouTube thing. Another YouTuber I used to watch admits to having her hair washed and blow dried once a week at the salon and then around day 3-4 starts using dry shampoo. Jokes about how it's doubled its weight in dry shampoo by her next appointment. Imagine the build up of product after a week - there is natural oil and there is a weeks worth of hair products.

Wished someone had asked her how often she showers or takes a bath in a week's time. She's probably thinking, just like FatBack, that the hot tub is the solution...The whole thing is just nasty.

In the summer I cannot go to bed if I haven't showered off all the sweat. I have curly hair so even if I don't use shampoo every day I'll rinse it out. The not showering and noticeably dirty sheets or sleeping on bare mattresses thing YouTubers do icks me out. Not up there with the YouTubers who pee in water bottles because they're too lazy to go to the bathroom but yeah. I get being real but why would anyone admit this...I don't get it.

I get it. I think I finally understand why the ‘pee pose’
She has to have one knee that looks “cute” bent and then uses it to cover the fact that the other knee is also super bent. All of this so she can look shorter than Tyson. How embarrassing. I wonder which one of them enforces that rule.

Re: GQS| To catch a Predator: starring Tyson Gardner| Part 45
I would honestly think having 4 kids the same age is easier. Mindy has 4 kids in 3 different schools, 4 different activities, and 4 different needs. As do most people. When you have 4 kids the same age they all have relatively similar needs (in the Gardner’s case, basically all the same need, one gets a cut and they all get a bandaid mentality). Just don’t understand why that’s constantly an excuse, maybe I’m missing something?Mommasnark wrote:Snarky33 wrote:Maybe she's smarter than we give her credit for and knew what a slob she was.

She had to have it to lay out all of her housewares so she doesn’t have to drag them out in the kitchen. 1) SHE DOESNT COOK! Why does she need that?
2) every single time they need one of those items they still drag it to the island. Actually Manny drags them out. That pantry is just a giant trash trap.

I thought I remember someone saying at some point there was something wrong with the land they built on being less than desirable for some reason--therefore all the settling in the basement. I always thought they would have been better off buying a house with a finished yard and basement that was ready to go for their girls. It's not like there weren't a lot of big houses available where they live and in the long run could have been a lot cheaper for them. They had to have all the custom features and windows. Even back then, everyone could see how impractical it was to build that fish bowl and could foresee all the problems--like the clear front door which is now frosted over and the pantry which isn't used for the stated purpose.
Well you know they had to custom build their house because they aren’t a “normal” family! They do have four 4 year olds! Lol. Everyone now days has 4 kids and gets by with a regular house and a regular refrigerator. Hell the Bjnghams have 4 and 3 are boys who are going to be huge if they follow their dads height and eat a ton of food. They have a normal house and fridge. It’s laughable just because they are the same age doesn’t make your family size dynamic any different than anyone else’s.
