If she was a mature adult, she would roll her eyes at some of our “gossip” but then reflect on parts of it.

Honestly, I agree so much! There is some really great advice for Elle here, she just isn’t mature enough to see any of her own faults and declares abuse anytime someone tries to give her any level of feedback.

In case anyone doesn’t know, Elle is an abuse survivor. So she has to throw the word ABUSE out there all the time to remind everyone of this.

I think the fact that she labels herself an abuse survivor in her Instagram profile yet fails to recognize herself a believer in Christ or a follower of faith says a lot about herself. She thinks being a victim sounds more relatable then professing her beliefs.

I wonder if this is partially to avoid some tough questions or if anyone questioned some hypocrisy... I know she used to mention her faith a lot more in the past. I have seen some recent videos from sarah therese and she is very upfront about being Christian but is a total wacko imo.

Sarah Therese has me side-eyeing big time. The abortion video she did recently was just not okay. I mean if she is against abortion then so be it but to get on social media and call people murderers etc, she lost me. Total whack job.

Elle wants to appeal to both the left/liberal/hippy/vegan/natural mama group, but also the Christian group. Which you can totally do! If that’s you, be authentic and own it. You might lose some close minded followers from both sides, but the ones you keep will be loyal because you’ve been authentic and real about your values and beliefs.

Instead she’s wishy washy and tries to appeal to both without committing to either. Sad.

Honestly I don’t want to hear people talk about religion. I think it’s boring and I think she knows that. It’s not my business what she believes or how she chooses to practice those beliefs. However I do get annoyed when she throws in comments like “the lord knew we were ready for a baby so he gave us one,” or stuff like that. Because it makes her sound like she’s better than the rest of us who are struggling with infertility.

I honestly sense that she’s been reading here and has been feeling a bit down. Which is normal. I get it. I’d feel down too if I found a forum about me. But I don’t put myself out there and then expect only positive comments. I know I couldn’t hack it. I don’t have that type of personality. But if she wants to do this as a career, you take the good with the bad (thanks Alan Thicke). I wonder what tomorrow’s video will be.

A) Clean my already clean fridge?

B) Interview someone but make it about me?

C) A sponsor video from something that goes against her aesthetic or beliefs?

D) Another baby girl haul?

E) other: insert your guess.

I just had a lightbulb moment. I wondered why she’s having such a hard time finding a videographer. It’s probably because she doesnt want to pay for one. Her trade is that she’s willing to give them exposure and free advertising via her YouTube channel. Why else would it be so hard to give someone your money for their services? Because she doesnt want to give them money.

re: Therese
Her beliefs do not have continuity at all... and seem to come from a very unloving place.
Also, she gets in a car accident--then moments later while vlogging proceeds to drive one-handed while on the phone (with all 3 kids inside van).

Thought same thing exactly. I think this forum is on to her... no wonder it upsets her. We see through her bs.
I also feel like when she did IG about mail deliveries it was a backward call out to send her stuff: PO box address clearly displayed and all.

Hold the phone. She was going to bump Forde to a different room so “baby girl” could have more closet space?

Maybe it's because I'm a gamer at heart so it struck a nerve, but how sad is it that Elle doesn't even know the name or have any clue of the game Dan was playing? Or am I weird and it's common for people to pay zero attention to their spouse's hobbies?

I'll take this as an opportunity to humblebrag on my partner under the guise of providing an example: he surprised me with a Nintendo switch and the most recent Legend of Zelda game. He was first off paying attention because I'd been watching playthrough videos on Youtube of the game for months and listening to me when I talked about how much I missed gaming as a hobby(I lost ALL of my game collection in a flood a few years ago which took me over 20 years to collect), and secondly he asks questions about it! He even got me the "right" color Switch because he asked me what the Switch was and I showed him a picture but commented on the hideous color scheme of the 'default' console lol. When I'm playing it in the evenings he'll watch and ask the occasional question. He's totally not a gamer but because it's something I really enjoy he's at least learning some basics so what I say makes sense lol!

How miserable it must be for Dan that she's so uninterested in him and what he enjoys. :(

P.S. I'm talking about the real-deal, four feet of water in my house, act-of-God flood, Elle. Google "Louisiana Great Flood of 2016". THAT is a flood. What you experienced was a clogged toilet.


...is it obvious I'm still extremely sore about that incident? :lol:

I totally get what you mean. I think Elle used to pay attention to Dan and his interests back in the beginning when she was pretending to be someone else to get him to marry her and pay all her bills. For example, she took up swimming for a period of time because of Dan. I think as soon as she got married all that “caring about Dan” went out the window and it became all about Elle.

Dan is such a trooper for trying to be more involved in the vlogs before, he really made an effort and not many partners would do that. Then when Elle realized Dan can’t bring in the views she kicked him off the camera.

I wish she would pay more attention to his interests and showed that in the vlog. I would also love to see a “day in the life of a working dad of 3”.

The fact that she shoves him behind the curtains to play the game is sad too.

Maybe he likes privacy when playing but shit, he’s secluded from everyone.

I never even thought of that! I know the loft used to be Dans “man cave” but clearly her precious crotch fruit need a second play space rather than allowing the man who owns the house and provides for them all, to have his own space. Oh, but OF COURSE Elle gets her own office! She is a work from home #momboss don’t you know?! She makes amazing content... which is obvious because she “made it” in her career... which you can tell, because she bought an LV bag to prove it... but don’t worry your precious vegan centred mind,(I mean no offence to ACTUAL vegans) it was second hand, which clearly makes it ok, because it was obviously going to rot in a landfill if she didn’t rescue it from the shelf! Oh... it was also purchased in NYC because #girlsgottatravel to write that book, because she’s ALSO an author- weren’t you aware?

So... with all the justification necessary...Dan obviously can’t have his own space. He’s only a vet who supports her WAY more than he ever should have!

I know this is terrible to say, but I’m here, so what the hell! But I really hope their marriage crashes catastrophically and her entire façade she has built comes crashing down around her. I just need to see her publicly fail, lol.

Mareiage is DEF failing behind the scenes. Their marriage vlogs made that clear - ever since those videos you can see the cringy body language between them and see things ARENT better. Watching them try to be lovey is soooooo awkward, no wonder she had to be artificially inseminated to get pregnant.

But - will dan ever get the balls to leave her? She’ll never leave because he’s her gravy boat! Girls gotta buy LV somehow and her shitty YT channel isn’t pulling the views except for birth vlogs and infertility treatment - neither of which can last forever. So she needs him to fund her #momboss lifestyle. But maybe, just maybe, he’ll get sick of her uptight controlling behavior, or her high maintenance plastic surgery, or pretending to laugh at her “hilarious” jokes and he will wake up and bail on her. Prob not though. She’s the master manipulator. I’ve realized that myself, she’s totally different person to her viewers than she is to those who even mildly disagree with her. She’s all about the facade and the manipulation.

Yeah, the whole gaming thing bothers me to. Coming from the wife of a man who is also a gamer (it has settled down a lot since we had a kid, but prior to he would play almost every night), I can't imagine not knowing the name of the game your man is playing. If he's an avid gamer, it's likely he gets excited about it and would talk about it. So either he's not talking about things he's excited about to her, or she's just listening to him. Not sure which is sadder.

In my opinion, there's a way to deal with gaming if your spouse likes it and you don't. I'm somewhere in the middle, more of a casual gamer myself, and probably play once every couple weeks whereas my husband plays on 2-3 times a week. My realization over the years is gaming is how my husband zones out, how he relaxes after the day, a hobby he enjoys. And I respect that, while he also respects that I need him to be around and not always gaming any spare moment he gets. We have struck a good balance.

Elle's obvious resentment for Dan's gaming is just sad.
Newsflash Elle: maybe Dan doesn't talk a lot or express a lot because you shoot him down or are so obviously uninterested when he tries to.
Maybe that's a stretch, since they really don't show a lot of their relationship, but wow. What they do choose to share? Yikes.
