I just watched her IG stories and...

What the actual f*ck Angie!!! Why were you letting Millie paint next to an open window? Oh sure it’s so funny, you’re getting a good glute workout because you’re tense that she’s literally inches from falling out - just had to get that “relatable” content in?

Maybe I’m too paranoid because I have a toddler but wtf!

[sondraK]

I was jw if the twins are biological sisters? I just started watching,thx

The twins are biologically sisters. They were conceived through embryo adoption so they are not biologically Angie and CR's. They had them tested at one point to see if Amelia was actually their child.

Thought Angie was being judgey when she called the air b and b weird but wow that place was strange!

[WheresMyCoffee]

Her makeup in the "my little secret" video was alarming, especailly at her parents, Her under eye area was straight up WHITE and then the rest of her makeup was almost orangey. It looked the same in the kitchen at the begnning but less harsh.

New by here: Could someone clear up why she chose to get pregnant so soon after adopting Rose? Seems like Rose gets brushed aside, in fact I kind of feel that Rose is aware of it also, she seems to have a flat affect, like she knows and expects to be 3rd fiddle. I kind of thought of having a Downs syndrome child.one would need to take some time and work with them one on one, but what do I know. Could someone shed light on this situation?

I think she even attempted to get pregnant before adopting her, when they were in the adoption process. It's so messed up.

Rosie just checked all the right boxes in my opinion.
special needs child
international adoption
Born on her birthday
fulfilling the dream or whatever it was that she'd have a daughter named Rose.

If I remember right they had to raise money and were not at all prepared for her adoption. I think Angie enjoys the high of it all and CR just goes along with whatever she says.

[Dreamkeeper+1]

So it's like Rose is the token child? Like a collectible, be very quiet Rose, only get way in the background to let others know your still among us. What about the new office addition. I am sure it is noisy, kind of happens when there is 6 kids, no 12, no 8, or whatever. When a bird has too many eggs to sit/hatch/ take care of they nudge the eggs out if the nest. Even birds with tiny brains know what they can care for effectively. New thread nane idea: this gathered Mess

[Amsouthernbell]

So here she goes “church shopping” ugh I just can’t stand her...

[MamaTweet]

Why were one of the older girls buckling Rosie, Noah and Jonah while Angie sat on her ass? And then she stepped right into Benjamins car seat with dirty shoes.

Then CR filmed himself going into the room where one of the older girls were sleeping with the baby with a bottle next to him...shelby and Kennedy seem to be the little kids' mom

Unfortunately this is a common issue with all big families. The older kids raise the younger ones.

[Peachykeen]

The recent blogs make me sad because CR and Angie are spending all of their time outside in the shed hideaway and you know K&S are stuck inside taking care of their collection.

Also, how much is she spending on this shed? She talks about her fireplace insert and buying new furniture for it...doesn't their van have a bunch of issues? Surely she could buy used products or something for that space

[HCB]

The shed is so dumb. She used to work in the camper and did just fine. That’s in their backyard so there’s no reason she couldn’t have kept using it. And then on Instastories, Jonah was already coming into the shed and interrupting her so so much for a kid free space. She can lock the camper door if she has a call. The shed should have stayed storage. They pay for a storage unit to store their excess crap so why not use your shed as storage and work in your camper?!

[Here_2_talk]

I think the only reason they are doing the shed up as an office/YouTube space is because of the family channel changes. She wants to be able to claim that she films outside of the home, so she really isn’t a family channel anymore...

She must be so scared about the ad revenue going away, how on earth will they support the large family that’s being raised by the teenager daughters?

Personally and i havd zero idea why but i think Angie only wanted to adopt a newborn girl and her whole adoption story has been chasing that dream. It seems she adopted baby boys and an older girl out of pure impatience. I believe all her boys even benji are after a failed girl adoption or too long a wait list for a girl. I think she cooked up this 'daughter named Rose' fantasy herself and got stuck on it and adopted Rosie as she knew as a large family they'd unlikely get a newborn girl. I also think this is why she is utterly obsessed with the twins. Shame as R J and N seem like the sweetest kids ever so do K and S.

Do you have any idea about how old the kids are?

I think they do rush into a lot of things and they spend money frivolously. Wasn’t the shed already made into a studio for her sisters podcast? Like someone said, she can’t escape her kids, they’ll find her and end up hanging out in there. The best way to get a break is send them to regular school.

I don’t know why this bugs me, but whenever Angie or CR is talking about the twins, one of the older girls is always in the background, chiming in and explaining what the twins are doing now. It’s sweet that they care that much about their sisters, but I can’t help but think they should be focusing on more tween-appropriate things. Outside of their schoolwork, it’s possible they spend half the day watching and playing with the twins and Benji. They have decades of their lives to be mothers, but only a handful of years left to be kids.

I don’t disagree that Angie relies too heavily on them. However, what the heck else would they do?? They don’t go to school, they don’t seem to have close friends, they don’t do many extra-curriculars, the family doesn’t go on a lot of outings....I feel so bad for them. The only thing any of the kids have to do, is play with each other. Kennedy and Shelby are likely too old to really “play” with Jonah, Noah, or Rosie. So they kind of play with babies.

My youngest sister was born when I was 11. I always wanted to hold her, feed her, rock her, dress her up, etc. It wasn’t that my parents needed me to or expected me to (sometimes that really didn’t want me to lol) but I was at an age where I just liked babies and toddlers. Maybe that’s where K & S are..... But Angie would definitely drowned without it.

I agree about K and S, I think S especially likes being in the vlogs. I don’t know what it is, maybe it’s because they seem more excited than Angie to share the twins’ accomplishments. It’s also the bubble they live in, they are always with their family. I just hope they aren’t homeschooling to be go-to babysitters.
