Knorpp and South: Manic Megan’s Pinterest Palace | Part 2

[SNT41007]

Thank you for taking the time to explain the aspects of a perspective of a mormon, but Megan shows true colors in her videos and since you haven't watched them all, don't judge us for our perspective on what she chooses to make public. Welcome to the board, everyone is welcome, but if you are here to just defend the actions of that woman your efforts are futile.

As I said, I can’t comment on the medical issues, etc. I do think Megan needs a WK for some of the ridiculous things some of you comment on, especially things she can’t change. Criticizing her for her body shape or the way her mouth moves when she talks? Come on, that’s ridiculous. I know that it’s a given that people on gossip boards will focus on those things, but I think it shows a serious lack of character to do that. I’ll defend her on that stuff all day.

Mostly I jumped in to explain the Mormon stuff.

Watch who you attack on here. I and many of the people here have NEVER commented on her body or "the way her mouth moves when she talks." I don't give a shit about that. What I care about is the absolute neglect of some of the children, obvious favoritism of others, the way she would rather spend days upon days picking thru junk at a thrift store, and her feeling of fleeting the responsibility to educate her children in en effective way. This unschooling bullshit is the biggest cop out of the LAZIEST kind of "parent." The only thing I will comment on about her body is the fact that the woman was treated for skin cancer and for some reason thinks it is appropriate to make a concocted home made version of her own sunscreen. She's asking for more issues with that, but THAT she can change. Plus, for someone who was treated for skin cancer she sure takes nice long daily walks in the sun. Hat or not, it's doubtful she wear sunscreen on all exposed body parts...not that the bullshit she makes would be effective for it anyway. They must make an oil for that. I guess it's job security then.

I haven’t seen a lot of comments about Megan’s physical features. However, I think you are perhaps confused by why people occasionally mention them.
When someone is as self-obsessed and narcissistic as Megan, every little thing about them is annoying! It’s easy to become overly critical of them, to the point where you can find nothing positive to say about them.
It may not be kind to mention her physical characteristics - I don’t think I really do that - but people become so exasperated by her that everything about her is annoying.

Im sorry but I cant think of a more tactful way to say this...

After people get out of cults, it takes them time to recognize what reality and human authenticity looks like.
This is why they can fall victim to abusers, they are used to insincerity inside the cult and cannot recognize
a nutjob for a nutjob.

Um... that’s precisely why I recognize the problems with Mike and Megan. I’ve lived it, and now I see what it looks like from the outside.

You say Megan is "STRONG"... Maybe you have a skewed idea of STRENGTH?

Not to mention that "strong" in the emotional sense in much different than "strong" in the physical sense...if they are saying she's "strong" emotionally, I think they are confusing it with "frenzied," or "dominant." Very different from actually being a "strong" person.

Nope, not confused. I read through this entire thread and the last one over the space of a couple days and the physical appearance comments stood out. I’ve even seen comments about Megan’s lipstick and earrings within the last two pages of this thread.

[ExmoWK4Meg]

Yes, I think she has a strong personality. I think that most people here would agree with that, as she’s been criticized for it regularly.

[lmmomSD]

Strong personality is different from "being strong". Being strong (to me) means overcoming adversity, and coming out the other side better, wiser, and full of gratitude for what you do have and for the intangibles like love of family and friends.
She doesn't seem to have friends. And I agree, she has a strong personality. I personally don't care for her taste in earrings and lipstick, but I don't tend to comment on it, because there's no accounting for taste.
She doesn't seem to love all these kids she's gathered around to worship at the altar of her motherhood. The golden biological children, yes. But the "Chinese ones", or the "adopted" ones, as she points out often? Nope. I don't think she enjoys them, or even likes them, except for what they can do for her. When I first saw that she had adopted Eve, I thought "that's wonderful! She'll have a much better life here than she would have in an orphanage in China!". No such luck. She may be fed and clothed better and live in a nicer house, but when you have a special needs child, you have a duty to provide her with the tools to achieve everything she can. Hence the term "special needs". Truthfully, you have a duty to do that for all of your children. She could give up a few hours of walking and thrifting to take Eve to speech therapy. There has to be physical therapy that would help both Eve and Esther with their backs, but they aren't willing to go the extra mile for those girls. But take Elijah on a special trip before his mission? Let's drop everything! Let's go on date nights and leave the older kids to babysit. God forbid they have friends and want to enjoy being young. They don't need friends! They have each other!
Is it a Mormon thing, or just a vlogger thing that kids don't need friends? That siblings are your "best friends"? I think it's a vlogger thing so that their kids don't see what a normal life looks like. But I had to ask.

Thats not what you inferred. You inferred that Megan was a STRONG WOMAN.
If she was a STRONG woman, shed turn off the cameras and parent her 9 kids!

Guys, this is a snark site! not a come hither I will WK my Miss Meg's, lol. Just use the block feature, move along and ignore the so called "ExMoran". And yes, she has ugly red thin LIPS, there, I said it again.

Yes, I remember pointing out that on their own website they segregated their adopted children as "Chinese Children," not their adopted children from China. It's insulting.

And for the record it was TWO trips fro Elijah, his special 18th birthday trip to Iceland (Daniels trip, anyone?) and then the penthouse in Myrtle Beach.

I think it is a Mormon thing, and a big family thing, and a homeschooler thing, and probably a Vlogger thing.

In Mormonism, the church is often your main community. If there aren’t a lot of church members with the same age kids living close by, the siblings may end up being the friends.

I think this also happens in big families a lot, because there simply isn’t enough time to manage friendships and play dates for all of the kids.

[ExmoWK4Meg]

Thank you for backing me up!

What’s a Moran?

I think Im the only one who is mentioning those things, no one else does.
And there is a good reason. Everyone here states that Megan was normal and happy etc when they first started watching
THEN she changed and is behaving erratically. So I believe the change in attire etc goes along with that.

Can you tell me something? if you spend most of your waking hours thrift shopping for YOURSELF and then you ask your adopted (IE CHOSEN) child what they want for xmas and they say a Barbie House and instead you get them a used thrifted Barbie RV, what does that say about your stability?
If your kids need PT and you fail to get it for them, what kinda strong woman is that?

And if you read further in to their website, she states they adopted Daniel because he looked like a Knorpp! Really, can she get any more insulting.

Um I dated a guy from a Catholic family of 13. They went to Catholic School and they had regular friends. Sure they were close, BUT you still need friends.
Its a CULT thing and a NARC thing to keep kids ISOLATED from other kids and it culminates in JOSH DUGGAR behavior.
It was done to me, and its destructive.

[IHateCilantro]

If you isolate your kids from outside influences, they will believe maltreatment and neglect is NORMAL and wont be able to advocate for themselves.

Before you get too high on your white horse, maybe consider that there are other issues we are aware of that you aren’t. Yes, some people on this page choose to criticize her looks. Most of us don’t. Most of us have much bigger issues with Megan Knorrp and the people who enable her behavior.

For one, she specifically CHOSE to adopt 5 children, 4 of which have mild to significant special needs and medical problems. Those 4 children have received very little medical attention, or therapy for the issues they have. One child, Eve, has Down syndrome, an issue she will live with for life. During the one brief time we saw significant advances in how she was acting and reacting to those around her, was the brief time Megan Knorrp allowed Eve to attend a public school where the school understood her needs and saw to them.

One daughter has a back that has been explained as a split spine- it starts off as a single spine, splits into two, and goes back to one. It has gotten far worse in the past year, to the point where Pearl’s back literally forms a point that stands about 8” off where a normal back would be. It causes her regular pain, she is withdrawn, hates to be on camera, rarely speaks up, often looks exhausted and ill, and has had no medical attention for her back since coming to the US.

Esther shows significant scoliosis, another condition that has clearly gotten worse, but is treatable to keep it from being worse.

On top of all this, rather than allowing her children to gain an education, whether at a public institution, private institution, or at home, she picked an “unschooling” method, and regularly shows that her method of unschooling is to allow the kids to read whatever books they want, choose a hobby, and even cut up snowflakes as a “lesson”. Given than 5 of these kids came from a background where they either had very little education, or had a vastly different education, that seems neglectful. I know families who chose to unschool- it still involved learning basic information, and using the world as their school through travel, going to museums weekly, going to zoos, taking educational tours, etc.

These kids are being neglected. They are fed, but they are not all healthy. They are clothed, but they are ignored.

If you want to ride your white horse, put on your white hat, raise your gleaming sword, and be her white knight, then sit down, and watch 50-100 videos ranging in time from when they traveled, until now. Watch the changes we have seen. Watch the kids, see which ones flourish, and which ones are in clear need of extra help.

Don’t come in here and pretend that because you occasionally see her on IG, and because you were a Mormon once upon a time, you know her enough to claim we’re clearly off our rockers for calling out the issues we have watched develop over the years.

You might consider reading my posts, because I never said, implied, or indicated anything of the sort. I called people out for the personal/appearance-based insults, and *nothing else*. As I have explained already, I was not commenting on any of the issues you mentioned.

What you are doing is standing up for someone who neglects her kids in the guise of furthering her own dreams. That doesn’t make you special. It makes you stupid. I am sure people stood up for child abusers all the time, but it doesn’t stop the abuse. Find a new playground if you don’t like what is being said about your own personal goddess.

If Megan has unfullfilled dreams that are interfering in her parenting, she shouldnt have had kids or should admit it and get therapy or just be a normal mom and send the kids to public school and ask for help. BUT since she is a Supermom on YT she cannot ever do that cause shes locked into that label.
