-They won’t take the pacifier away from Brooks because it keeps him quiet.
-Their financial situation is awful.
-Katie has a trust fund. (I don’t think this is true but have seen it mentioned here many times.)
-Cullen’s real addiction is cocaine.

There are so many more. Anyone want to add to the list?

-They are lazy and neglectful pet owners.

Gaines is the favorite child.
We lost most of our friends when we moved into this house
We moved into this house without being able to afford it.
Katie's parents are paying our house payment
Katie's sister has distanced herself from them due to the addiction problem

I’m glad Katie is getting healthier!
But... that new picture of her with Cullen... her face looks so strange! her face is losing weight faster than her body. It’s giving her the weird smile lines like Kelly’s and it looks freakish to me. Like she’s skinny on her face, big again, and then skinny legs just had to write this after seeing her instagram

^^ I agree to some extent. Having an idea of the children you want vs. what you're given is an eye opener. Whether you had good or bad experiences, they do help you make your decision on what's best for your sanity or what you can handle.

I thought I always wanted two kids, but I have one and we're done. Why? Because she was the ideal infant people dream about; slept through the night, good tempered, no health issues, etc. BUT, I knew the second one would not be as great and didn't want to risk going through a total opposite experience with the second.

I can see where she's coming from, due to my own personal experiences. Although, from what they show us, he seems like a normal toddler sooo.... Or maybe she's using that as an excuse for something else. Who knows with them anymore.

Pretty much what I assumed the reason was, so sad to put that on the internet where everyone can see. I have never had a girl so maybe I am wrong but I think girls be pretty crazy too. From what we see of Brooks he just doesn't seem like this wild child she describes. Gaines was afraid of everything and timid. Brooks is just adventurous and wants to try everything. Nothing wrong with that, if Katie didn't want a boy she should have stopped at one kid. I hope she means it as Brooks is a lot of work and we want to devote more time to him instead of we don't want another one like him. Its probably the latter.

It's not just boy vs girl. It's the individual personality. My brother's two sons were total opposites. The first was an angel-- they never even had to baby proof. The second was always trying to climb on the counter, and they had to seriously baby proof their house.
Brooks may be "harder" than Gaines, but blaming it on him being a boy is just ridiculous.

Thank you! One of my biggest pet peeves is when people say he’s “all boy” or she’s such a “girly girl” It just perpetuates gender stereotypes!

It actually doesn’t bother me that Katie admits they decided 2 was enough because of brooks behaviour. Regardless if I (or you) think brooks acts like a pretty typical toddler it’s clearly more then Katie can handle so good for her knowing her limits.
And could you imagine if they did have a third who behaves like Gaines? Brooks would be even more the problem child.

I just hope she learns how to cope with brooks being so “wild” because the kids going to have a serious complex feeling inferior to his sister.

Right! I feel like it will always be here is Gaines our perfect princess and Brooks the wild problem child. I mean I feel like they deserve a less easy child because they were so smug with Gaines as a baby but I feel bad for that little guy.

It's the way she blames it on being a boy with disapproval and personal rejection. If it were truly a "boy" thing in her experience and in the innocent sense of the word, then she wouldn't have had an "issue" with him but have accepted and have been understanding of him, as precisely that: of just being a boy! In fact, if she would have accepted both of her kids the same way it would have been politically more correct to attribute it to being a boy at first instance rather than to personality. Saying to your friend: oh he's a boy lol, implies acceptance and also understanding, with affinity. And then one could add: and he has a different temperament. But this would all be in a manner of acceptance.

It's the first time I'm really starting to get a little angry with the situation now that she is making an illness out of a healthy situation. This is really not done in clinical psychology, and shame on you Katie! This is really not okay to treat Brooks as if he were to have an illness, it's also the first time it's actual, concrete behavior instead of only words and gestures.

Poor kid laying in his (RIDICULOUS) swing, and he wanted to go higher lol, which proofs he doesn't need it to begin with, and he is just a small kid who wanted to play on the swing lol. He thought: yay now we have a swing at home, higher mom, higher!

SHAME ON YOU KATIE, with your laughable swing. Katie doesn't deserve being a psychologist. She has zero insight into herself, has zero capability in correcting on herself and is dishonest. And a severe case of acting out her personal issues, with both Gaines and Brooks. Her sickening adoration of Gaines and now her active disapproval and rejection of Brooks. You only have to look at her face when she talks about it.

Just give him activities, put him on gymnastics, play soccer with him, yes you Katie go move yourself, play soccer and run with him in the garden. Kids per definition are active and need stimuli for goodness sake.

This. My son and daughter _are_ different. I should have added that in my comment. But her eye rolling "He's a _boy_", like it's a crime, is what I take issue with. And the simple fact is that not all boys climb on counters or "run wild". I am sure he can tell she doesn't like him, (even if she might love him because he is her child, she doesn't like him, and that's clear). My daughter has a list of YouTube kids she jokingly wants us to adopt (along with most of the pets) and Brooks and Finn Lanning are top of the list.

Did they take Gaines to the bippity boppity boutique on the cruise and I just missed it? I wonder if they had to pay for extra activities on the trip. I thought that was something they would do for sure. I didn't think that their footage was all that great. You would think that if you had a free trip you would try to have the best footage so you could hopefully get another trip. Soon they will be at the beach and we will have boring spring break vlogs with sunburnt kids.

I don’t remember a boutique scene. However I would not have done one on the cruise. I would not have done it at all, but I am a parent who never took her kids to Disney. Doing it on the cruise would have been such a waste since they went swimming quite a bit. On the beach and ship.

They drink a lot when at the beach. We already know they were drinking on the cruise... I predict the start of a relapse of many of their issues.

LoL. And I'm curious too.

I LOVED Katie's grayish color of her nail-polish on her channel in the latest or second-latest video when she was wearing a gray sweater. So beautiful and suited her so well, with the white hair. It looked so fresh and clean, warm and soft at the same time, I really loved it.
