8 Passengers: Controlling Mothers aren’t powerful. Part #10

[lmmomSD]

A majority of the assumptions I read last night were about Ruby disowning a kid if they quit the Mormonism or came out as gay. Pretty hard to ignore that question when it’s brought up every third time. But she will either lie her way around it or not answer. I believe she’d love her kids through most things but probably still kick them out, but won’t admit that and ruin her wholesome powerful mother image. I’m sure she believes being gay is a choice and therefore wouldn’t find it acceptable. Do Mormons have gay conversion camps? It concerns me for Russell...

I’m sure all the assumptions will be cherry picked.

Don't know about conversion camps, but she is definitely against gay marriage. She did a vlog about going to "support" Chick Fil A (which EVERY vlogger seems to eat no matter what their stance-- gross) and was practically giddy about it, and had the kids with her. But as soon as there was a tiny bit of backlash, she took the vlog down. Coward doesn't even have the courage to say "I believe this way. If you don't like it, don't watch".

Ruby is such an idiot. Maybe don’t have 6 kids if you think putting them through college or paying for some of their other needs is financially straining. They have plenty of money and she should be grateful that they would even be able to put one kid through college because that is not an option for a good majority of America. And the poster above is right, they definitely won’t be able to get financial aid. And whatever money they are saving right now from good grades and chores will probably not even pay for one semester of books once they get to college. Sorry kids, guess you have to take out loans and be in debt because your greedy mom wants to hoard all her money and spend it on ugly clothes and bright red lipstick for herself.

I wonder if their house is paid off?

THE amount of money she is paying for her kids private school could probably pay for some peoples tuitions.
I dont think she was saying she wont help them with college tuition even if she has the means to, just that her opinion is "if its going to make you struggle financially, you dont have to do it"

When i started reading these threads, everyones opinion was that Ruby does not expect her girls to go to college but the little vlogs i have watched showed that she has instilled the idea of going to college very early into all her kids. i also like the fact that she doesnt make it mandatory.. ive heard her telle them countless times that going to college is not the only road to success which is very true.

I'dreally love it if she let the kids make their own choices on how they want to divide the money they earned. sometimes making kids save when they dont want to could make them hate saving.

Also for people who called bulshit on the kids report card, what do you guys think she did? did she print a fake report card online or do you think the school teachers gave them fake grade? i personally never thought the kids were as bad as Ruby made it out.. i think she expected all of them to be like shary and threw a tantrum when they werent. i think the youtube comments made her lower her expectations of them and now she want shary to be like her sibblings.

You can find it by going to the channel then clicking the community tab along the top.

The “assumptions” people are posting are hilarious and quite smart. Surely Ruby is regretting having people post them on YouTube and not Instagram like Bonnie and Ellie.

Would love to be a fly on the wall seeing her read all assumptions of LBGTQ, Julie and Abby’s awkwardness, Parenting, Religion, Hygiene - and see how/what she’ll respond to.

That was a LOT of money to be giving kids for their grades. I agree, she should’ve let the kids at least keep 50-100 dollars for themselves to spend on whatever they want, and put the rest into savings. Abby is at an age where she could definitely learn about a checking v. savings account.

For the poster asking about Russell, typically kids in elementary school (at least where I am) receive grades like “satisfactory” instead of letter grades. I was a little surprised to see Julie getting letter grades, isn’t she only in like 3rd grade?

I think their report cards were real. I was mostly only shocked at Chad’s. She’s said he’s received D’s and F’s before but his has all A’s and B’s.

Honestly, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with not paying for your kids college if it means putting yourself in debt. Of course, as parents, we want to help our kids as much as we can with college funds, but that shit is expensive for 4+ years. That’s why there are loans. I think Ruby wants her kids to receive A’s in school so that they can at least start college off with grants.

Exactly! BYU has their employees benefits listed on their website, which states the following, about spouse and child tuition.

Children of Employee

Children of eligible full-time employees can receive a half tuition benefit once admitted to the university. The child must apply for admission to the university by the appropriate deadlines.

Once the child reaches any of the following limits, the tuition benefit will no longer be available:

age 30

bachelor's degree from any university

152* total credits (including any from all CES universities)

* Once a student reaches 130 credits the Tuition Benefit is no longer automatically applied. This is to prompt the student to speak with the Benefit Services Tuition Specialist in order to plan accordingly as they approach the limit. Please call ext. 2-4496 for additional information. 

The tuition benefit will apply to the following types of classes for a child:

Undergraduate courses

Day

Evening

Classes taken for audit

Salt Lake Center courses (must be offered for credit)

BYU-Idaho

BYU-Hawaii

LDS Business College

Study Abroad

BYU Jerusalem Center

Where I live, tuition is 100% paid for if a parent is a full-time employee. I guess every state is different.

Thank You!!

I was actually surprised to see all the critical assumptions of them, because before the comment section on their channel was disabled, all the comments were overwhelmingly positive. Plus most of them seemed to be written by young kids.

Ruby to her kids..you guys put yourselves to bed at 7:00, me and Dad will be in our room eating steak take out, don’t bother us! ... omg. Really? While the kids are eating slop.

[Z3phyr]

So she forgot to pick her child up from preschool because she was too busy shopping and decorating? What a deadbeat.

My mom was kind of like Ruby and I was always full of anxiety that I'd be the last kid picked up. She'd be very late picking up from school as well as play dates. I was the youngest like Eve and I have no idea what she was doing with her day to be so late and dismissive. Poor Eve.

[Catface2]

I think she and Kevin had a fight..hence all the almost crying crap...and she went shopping to cheer herself up and he planned a date night to make it up to her. That’s why she forgot to pick up her child..she’s too wrapped up in herself to think about anything else. But...momsarepowerful. OMG

How in the world do you forget to pick up your child from preschool??!?!?!

It's funny how all 3 sisters said they were stressed out today in their vlogs. Stressed from what? Shopping, applying make-up and eating out? Unbelievable

I don’t think anyone is saying Ruby personally faked the grades...I think the assumption is that because they have donated a large amount of money to the school, the kids are being passed through classes despite inferior work. We hear about Chad failing numerous assignments and having poor behavior. Abby and Julie failed the initial entrance exams horribly but suddenly passed at the end of the summer (supposedly they were working all summer on it but we really didn’t see much evidence of this) and we’ve heard over the years about how school is not their strong suit and Ruby prefers to let them fail classes so they’ll learn lessons. When Shari started at the school she spoke extensively about the caliber of this school being much higher than her public school. I think a lot of us just find it suspicious that a bunch of kids who did poorly in school before, switched to a more rigorous school where their parents are top donors, and suddenly are A students. It sure reminds me of the recent college admissions scandal...

Ruby will pay $37,000 for four years of private high school but won't pay their college tuition. That is the price for only one child! I don't know much about the Church of Latter-day Saints but just recently learned that people who aren't Mormon have to pay a higher tuition at BYU. Even though it seems absurd (at least to me) it is allowed at a private university. It costs $2,810 per semester for LDS undergraduates and $5,620 for non-LDS. I think non-LDS is still subsidized. Someone correct me if I am wrong. "Significant portions of university operating costs are paid with the tithes of Church members." https://finserve.byu.edu/Tuition_Fees_And_Deadlines Of course, anyone who goes to BYU and isn't Mormon must be insane. It makes sense that LDS members get a discounted tuition but it still doesn't sit well with me. I've read that millions of dollars goes to BYU a bunch of privileged white people As a Christian that attends a non-denominational Church I am also expected to give back 10% of my income and I'm sure some of it goes to a bunch of privileged people such as paying the people who work for the Church and building maintenance. I also want to make note that your 10% doesn't have to go directly to the Church. Many people just believe that is the easiest way since they do not have to think about where their money is going and assume it is being used for something good. Maybe I'm being a bit hypocritical but it just baffles me that so much money goes towards BYU.

They must have got bad news from YT..or their “manager”. Basket cases...all of them

She had to rub it in their faces that they were having steak like a mean girl, such a mature mother. I'm sorry but the kids dinner looked more like prison food.

[Emily81]

Why didn't he bring in more food and share with the kids?
That is not a dinner, lady powerfulmother, is an appetizer! After a day of school they get that miserable "meal" and you get steak after shopping all day and being "creative". What an amazing mother you are.
And your porch is hideous.
