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

If it's not porn, it could be that her kids have questions regarding the church being true or not, or it could be that she had questions regarding church history and found things she doesn't want her kids to know because it would destroy her perfect mormon family image if they suddenly walked away. There is a mass exit in the mormon church going on right now. people leaving left and right. so if it's not porn, and not church, then it's something else. if the kids are smart, they will figure out google isn't the only search engine and get all the info they need for school projects that way.

If I were her I would want to limit my kids' access to internet too just so they wouldn't have to read all the stuff about them on sites like this and others. I count myself implicit in this of course. Then again, what would be even better is if she didn't broadcast her kids' lives all over the Internet in the first place. Just sayin'

I find Ruby's claim that Russel is smart (or even smarter than average) so hard to believe based on his behavior and how he expresses himself.
If Russel is intelligent, then my friend's 7 year old is a mensa-level genius. I just looked it up and he's a few months shy of 8. Freaking eight! He acts like he's 5.

Dunno if it’s just a Griffiths thing when Ruby says ‘silk’ tie or ‘wool’ basket... is she trying to show her wealth or quality of things she has? idk I just find it a bit odd.

I thought their dog died or something...

I feel like if their dog died she would be less upset.

My oldest niece is a month or two younger than Russell, but in the 2nd grade (she wasn't held back a year). She would easily be a Mensa genius on that scale as well. I do find it odd that a kid allegedly reading the Harry Potter series for fun, would sit down and read a board book about Easter intended for toddlers. He wasn't just there for the vlog or a snuggle, he was thoroughly engaged in the "story" and asking questions. Who knows though, maybe Russell is actually "above-average intelligent", and Ruby's parenting has just held him back physically, emotionally and intellectually?

ETA: Why is Abby washing her face with graphite? It isn't an ingredient in any beauty product I have ever come across. It is normally for pencils and industrial manufacturing. Is she confusing a brand name with an ingredient?

I think you are right. Ruby sat on the stairs grilling Eve for several minutes, about who the pile of chocolate she left there was for. Meanwhile, Nollie was in the background. No mention of the fact that chocolate can be toxic to dogs.

The whole time Abby was talking about this I figured she was confused with charcoal.... Interesting how no one in the family questioned that.

But Ruby was insisting that Abby has found her inner talent in analyzing ingredients-unfortunately she cant make a difference between charcoal and graphite. Wow what a talent.

And Russell is behaving like a 6 years old. He was on the same level as Eve while the bedtime story was read to them.
Ruby keeps all her children on a low level and pushing them back-its scary for me!

I agree. My youngest is 8 and in second grade. Russell seems severely behind.
The difference between he and my daughter is staggering. I work around similarly aged kids and he seems quite behind, even physically speaking. If I didn't know better, I would guess he's 5, at best. They have the resources to address this. To not do so is troubling.

She couldn’t possibly be getting her 11 year old TOWELS for her birthday? Hahaha wtf. This woman. Her kids need to start treating her birthday (which she acts like it is it’s own holiday) like she does theirs.

Also, her most recent insta post, does it look like she photoshopped abby’s Face? It looks so blurred out.

[endof]

Ruby does this often she manipulates her kids by putting things in their head like telling Abby she has a talent in this or that!
She thinks in her warped mind that is powerful parenting! She tries to doctrine each child to her own beliefs of what is grandeur in her mind by manipulating their thought into thinking it’s theirs actually! She does it all the time,that is what controlling people do!

As for Russell, though no one can know for sure without a proper diagnosis but some of the most severe delays (disclaimer not referring to Russell) can have genius minds eg Rain Man! Russell is by far not a genius because he reads! My 5 year old speed reads at a level of an 8 year old and writes short essays! She can recognize Olivia’s spelling errors! She started reading words at two! This again means nothing if there is a lack of emotional well being EQ needs to be nurtured just as much as IQ!

[Okay54321]

This vlog was weird to me. Where are the two oldest? We're they seriously eating ham, kale, and milk? Ewww. Kevin did her a favor. Then they all started dancing, wtf? After that we get an Easter book. Is Bonnie sharing some of her pills? Jeez.

[petey_patches]

Then they all started dancing, wtf?

I chortled.

Ruby never got Eves birth certificate. Is that normal?? I don’t have kids. Can kids fly without proper documentation?

Wtf I don’t have kids either but have needed my birth certificate multiple times as an adult. What is she going to do, wait until Eve needs it and say sorry go get it yourself from the county office?

How weird. I even saw my birth certificate as a kid many times. Either my parents needed it for whatever, or there were a few times I just asked my Mom to show it to me because I was curious and thought it was cool to look at lol. I didn’t watch this vlog but I think that’s insanely weird to not get your child’s birth certificate. I know Eve was the last child born but damn... that’s a pretty important document. And not one you have to struggle to get after having a baby so it just seems really stupid to not have it.

Its not in a vlog yet. It was an insta story. She’s starting to get Eve registered for kindergarten. I’m just confused as to why it’s taken her almost six years.

[ujvs_]

About the birth certificate - Ruby said she kept putting it off and one of the reasons was because she couldn’t be bothered to type in her password wtf! 6 years?? I was going to say how did Eve get a passport but I don’t think she has one.
