Didn't he have some difficulties? No friggen way. I wonder if CR could convince her to Myka Stauffer it and just put kids in school?
She claimed Rosie was too tired and it placed too much restriction on them - because they were planning on travelling around in the RV, that went out the window in favour of a new baby of course!

There has to be a middle ground for Rosie, I think she was in a mainstream, all-day kindergarten. That can be too much for typical children, let alone a special needs child. It’s a shame they can’t have her in a special ed. class, with inclusion time in a regular classroom. I know of some parents who drive 30 min. for their child to go to a special school. This is where too many kids is hurting these children, there’s obviously no time for them to commute one child to school every weekday.

In general, it bugs me when moms say how much they know what’s best for their kids, just by virtue of birthing/adopting them. Do they really know? I’m no expert, I learn more as my kids are growing, but there are actual experts out there to help guide parents, for a reason. Having a pack of children doesn’t make one an expert, necessarily. Granted, I don’t know Angie’s kids, and we never see the hardships they do through. But it seems like they’re gearing Rosie up to just live at home, then eventually live with either K or S, if it comes to that. Learning life skills is more important for Rosie than learning the anatomy of a bee.

I think you’re right, she should at the very least be receiving some outside services like speech therapy and some learning support, there’s no way Angie & CR can devote the time needed to help her realise her full potential when they have 7 other kids to take care of as well. I follow some other families with kids that have DS and they’re constantly taking them to various therapies as well as these kids being in school and getting 1 to 1 help while there

I feel so bad for Rosie, they're still talking over her and ignoring her and not understanding her speech. She's always trying to get attention. Angie was just telling her to be quiet and quit lying, I can only imagine what they say to her off camera.

And shelby was trying to say that Rosie wasnt lying and that she had told her the twins were crying in the day care. Shelby is often ignored in the background of the blogs aswell.

As a newby to This gathered nest. I wanted to know why Rosie has such a flat affect. 2-3 years ago she had such a bubbly fun loving personality, and it seemed that Angie was happier too. Rosie use to smile most of the time and seemed carefree. Now she just seems she is knows that she is a leftover. It appears that they are so dismissal of her wants, her questions, her being. Rosie has become a wilted flower. I adore her, and pray for the best.

I just want to know how someone could possibly homeschool 5 kids at different levels and different developments, while having two toddlers and a newborn. I think the children would really benefit from going to school and making friends. N and J seem to have friends in the neighborhood but what about everyone else? They can't even have extracurricular activities because transporting all of those kids to different places would be a nightmare. I feel like she is stifling her children's social lives because she has a fantasy of being a family unit that only relies on each other, but at some point, the children will need other people in their lives other than the family. She is setting them up for situations where they will be able to properly interact with peers.

Well, there are 2 adults at home to share the schooling and the driving. Activities, K & S take horse riding lessons. Hopefully, all the children will find friends at the new church they are going to.

Because homeschooling takes a lot less time & some
Subjects can be done together (across grades) it’s possible especially with 2 parents at home.

The Braniff family has a different dynamic than most smaller “traditional” families. I have 6 kids and yes, they have friends outside our house- but really our family functions differently than we would of we only had a couple kids. Our kids would RATHER be with their siblings than Other kids a majority of the time.

We are often told our kids are polite and friendly and make new friends feel welcome.

I understand it’s a dynamic that isn’t the same as smaller families but it works. Plus I wouldn’t be surprised if they don’t put friends outside the family on camera. Just because they don’t spend a school day with other kids doesn’t mean they don’t see other kids.

It is absolutely possible to homeschool multiple children well and still have time for therapy and extracurriculars and friends. Angela and CR are chosing to do the bare minimum.

It baffles me how much Ange has spent on her own dental care and yet Kennedy doesnt have braces. Im not mocking her she is a beautiful young girl. Her mouth just appears over crowded to me.

Just her dental care? What about other things she puts first for herself before kids. Don't know about anyone else, but when my kids were babies - 4. They were put first. First thing was changing bottoms washing hands and face, brushing teeth. Then their breakfast came before I even could get a cup of coffee. One would wake up at 5:00 every.morning and one could be up all night! I wasn't put together until they were, and I didn't even.have a special needs child, nor did we choose to adopt/ nor have anymore than we could give them time wise and financial wise to pay for college. What is her deal? For 2020: she is planning on rving to promote her book? How the heck is that going to work when she needs an entire seperate Martha Stewart studio seperate from her home?

In their last video Angie and CR both kept talking while Benji was in the background crying and crying. Finally CR was like "I'll make you a bottle" Like.. ya you all are so selfish

I know Ashleigh has her own thread but no one really posts there. It seems like she only wants to foster an infant because ruby is out of that baby stage. I still think of her as a baby, 1 to me is still a baby but she doesn’t see it that way. I find it crazy that she’s needs to pray about whether doing anything to prevent pregnancy is the right decision or not. It seems like she has an itch that needs scratching now that Ruby is 1 and that this fostered infant will just be a placeholder until she gets pregnant again. I don’t fault her for choosing to foster infants instead of older children because she at least admits it. Isn’t like Angie who said they were open to everything when they really weren’t.

You took the words right out of my mouth! Angie and Ashleigh are addicted to newborn babies. It's crazy to me that they have 9 people living in a 3 bedroom house and don't have a car that can fit their entire family, but they think they are the right people to foster a child.

There is no parenting going in what so ever.
How old are the twins? They might have enjoyed ice skating with those walker things little kids use. And if not why couldn't CR take the older kids and her stay home with the babies? Oh course then she wouldnt have S or K to babysit.n I dont watch her much so i didnt know the twins werent talking at all. Have they reached any age appropriate milestones?

I think they are 2.5yrs. They appear to say odd words, grunt and scream a lot, have pacifiers in their mouth constantly and are still in diapers full time. They have no routine and appear to have very little boundaries. Amelia is defo the favourite.
