Chris’s personality and demeanor is just like his dad’s. I think that’s why Colleen originally married an effeminate guy who everyone also speculated about.

Does anyone else think her twitch streams are weird? Like how she talks to her followers like they’ve been friends for years. And how Chris sits creepily in the back, idk if he’s embarressed by Jessica’s streams or what. Idk. the vibe I got from these twitch streams are different than what I see in the vlogs

I've watched these guys for years. Parker dressing and acting the way that he does is, in my opinion, a result of him growing up around Colleen. She often used to call him like "queen" or dress him up in her miranda clothes. I think playing dress up is fine, but I don't think Parker sees it as playing dress up. Imagine what a strange perception of the world you would have if as a young toddler you were introduced to your aunt as another person?? And that alter ego dresses and acts in the most ridiculous way possible and people love her for it.

Bailey and Jacob were a little older before Miranda really took off so they were possibly less affected by it? I remember one time Colleen came back from Scotland and brought Jacob and Parker both kilts and Jacob politely declined. Jacob comes across as much more of a sports guys to me but the parents don't seem to value those interests as much as parker's theater/gymnastics/makeup. I wonder what will become of little Duncan, or Flynn for that matter. That kid is growing up right in the heart of all the weirdness. Going on tour at a few months old...

Chris and Jessica were also both theater majors in college. I think they both tend to lean towards the flamboyant and that’s why Parker gets the most attention, he has the same interests as them while the other kids don’t. It probably also works both ways in that Parker gets encouragement for hamming it up so he does it even more.

On the topic of Parker getting attention for being theatrical, it’s so cringy to watch bailey try to act like Parker to get the attention from her parents. And I feel so bad for Jacob and we will see what happens with Duncan now that there’s a new baby on the way

Where are they going to put this new baby? Jacob and Parker share a room, Bailey has a small room, and I believe they said Duncan's room is even smaller than Bailey's. That's all the bedrooms aside from the master, right?

I thought these people claim the kids don't eat sugar?? I just watched a video of the three older ones eating something called a "cotton candy burrito" that looked more sugary than anything I'd eat.

Those cotton candy burritos are disgusting. Cotton candy, sprinkles, and o e cream-- ketoacidosis in a bowl.
They feed their kids sugar, let there be no doubt. On Easter, there was plenty of candy.

Yeah, I was hoping for another girl for them but I guess another boy is what they are going to have, I did notice they looked disappointed.

I feel bad for Bailey being the only girl. I feel like she handled it gracefully but I'm sure deep down she's disappointed.

Poor Bailey. Looks like she'll never get to grow up.

Jessica is huge for only 24 weeks. Wow. And I feel bad for Bailey. Not just because she is having another brother but because she is like 12 years old and they dress her like a toddler and she talks like one, too. That baby voice...

Bailey is homeschooled and very sheltered. She's 12 now, though, right? The older Ballinger kids (Chris and siblings) went to an actual high school. I wonder if that's what they'll do with these kids too. If so, Bailey is in for a reality shock...

I think at least Colleen and Chris went to some kind of theater or art focused high school? So still not necessarily around a super diverse set of other kids. Bailey would be in for a HUGE culture shock at your average public school. I bet if they do send her to high school it will be a Christian school or something.

I find this entire family to be disturbing. Between Chris being what appears to be a closeted gay man and them seemingly push Parker to dress like a girl, they are just bizarre. And then you have Bailey dressing like a Mennonite. I don't get it.

Does Duncan look young for his age? I seen pics of Instagram and he doesn’t look two. I saw a picture of him with Finn who is only a few months old and they could pass for the same age. I would take him to a doctor and see if he’s developing okay but maybe it’s just me. I’m not sure but I think he can walk and talk at least.

Also Bailey is at the age where girls are just starting to develop and grow. I hope Jessica has talked to her. Bailey still has the interest and personality of an 8yr old, no thanks to her parents who make her act and look younger for views, I would hate for Parker, Jacob, Bailey or Duncan to go to school because it would be such a rude awakening for how the real world is. Although I do think Jacob is the only one who looks and acts his age so he might do well in a normal school.

So I don’t really follow them but I follow Colleen/Miranda. Parker is so damn annoying. I’m sorry but he was on her Instagram story and it got to the point where I was like “Okay kid, we get it. You’re DiFfErEnT”. I have no issue if he wants to wear a dress (if that’s what he wants and it’s not his weird mother pushing him to do it) but calm down! I feel bad for the other kids & soon to be baby who have to compete with that kid

I agree with this so much. Parker definitely has his own style and loves to be the center of attention. I'm not for trying to define the sexual orientation of a child, Parker is still very young, but I fear that the adults in his life are pushing him a bad direction. If Parker does turn out to be anything other than heterosexual as an adult, I hope that he will still have a personality and not let it define him as a person. Unfortunately it seems that his flamboyant characteristics are all that the adults around him seem to value these days. For example, you never hear his parents talk about his intelligence or how he's doing with school but how many times do they throw the camera on him while he's dressed up in sparkly dresses with makeup on? Someone said earlier that Parker hamming it up is probably the only way he gets the attention he's craving and that we can tell this is what the parents value because even Bailey tries to mirror some of Parker's mannerisms for attention. Just kind of sad to imagine where this is heading.
