Cullen and Katie: Shifty eyes and constant lies | Part #25

[Boymomma123]

They used to take their kids to the Dr. right away when they were sick. I think it probably had more to so with bot wanting to pay a copay or any other medical bills. Part of their get current money was supposed to go toward some medical bill they mentioned.

Agree to disagree. It doesn't stop your immune response. It interferes with the replication of the virus. And if the rest of the family took it, it would help protect them from getting it.
But they get lots of engagement from posting all those pictures of miserable Gaines.

Not to mention Cullen and Katie saw it as a good excuse to take it easy on work for the week.

I also side eye their lazy weekend this weekend. Sure balance is good, but there are seasons in life when you can't just take 2 days completely off on the weekend. Actually most people with a full time job can't do that ever.

If C & K are in as much debt as they claim, AND they are self employed and this have some control over their income... Then this is not a time to take full weekends off. They should be hustling! At least part of the weekend they should take turns doing some work.

Exactly! My husband works for his families business and often has to go into work on his days off because the success of the business is so important.

These two have absolutely no work ethic and all too often they claim they needed a mental health day and it was so needed for their family. Which is understandable to an extent but they use that excuse every other day! They are constantly claiming their lives are "so crazy" yet I really think it has a lot to do with their poor time management and lack of schedule.

I just get the impression from them both that they are two lazy slobs who wish they were still in college partying every weekend.

There was a picture last week of Cullen on the couch with Gaines in what looked like a dog bed.(?) and Brooks, and his laptop and Katie captioned it "overtime" and went on about how they don't have to be away from the kids when they do "OT". I wanted to ask, if being away from the kids is so awful, why are they in full time daycare? Of course all the comments are sucking up. One actually said "Jesus is honoring you" WTF? If they are such amazing people and tithing gets God to "give" you money, then how did they end up in this situation to begin with?
It's not "stewardship". It's sloppy accounting not to know that you have points adding up, and "lost money".
Another person said she gave up Starbucks every day to be able to treat her kids to ice cream. And Katie commented back some blather. But she isn't sacrificing ANYTHING. One other person posted about a website that compares prices of different stores. She replied something about how "the nerd in me is geeking out". I can't believe the comments. Once again, people take vloggers completely at face value and believe everything they say.

I'm a little confused. Did Katie and Cullen tithe before this whole debt disaster crisis? If so how did god not honor their giving and keep the $$$ rolling in? If not how do they expect to add a $822 montly "bill" to their monthly obligations that they couldn't even pay?

To beat the dead horse again - tithes and Suburan is 1/2 their mortgage payment. Maybe they can live in the Suburan and go to church to take showers so they don't need a house.

Also, to give a little credit in all of this mess at least Cullen now has a clue to how many spending was going on and Katie has the numbers in front of her so she can see how out of control she is / was even tho she isn't reporting all of numbers. I have hope that they will at least curb the spending that they were using the credit card for. This will keep them from being 200K in debt in 2021.

That's what I don't understand. If they were tithing all along, why didn't God "reward" them with success like Bryan and Missy have?
Their logic is so convoluted.

Virus are so deadly and so widespread because they are fantastically effective at turning the host’s own immune system against them. Read up on how viruses hijack your DNA and replicate. Antivirals gives the immune system a chance to recover and fight the infection by inhibiting the replication of the viral genes. If you’re taking Tamiflu, you’ve already been exposed to the live virus. You can get a rapid test for the flu, so they would know if she had it or not before prescribing. Plus, natural immunity to one flu virus won’t protect you from most other strains of the virus. Flu viruses evolve quickly and can change from year to year, and several strains of the virus typically circulate at one time. So I wouldn’t put a lot of stock in natural immunity, especially if natural immunity through infection is particularly miserable or comes with risk of complications.

I would absolutely give it to my child to shorten the duration or prevent her from catching it, the same way I would want to go to the doctor and get the mediation as an adult if it helped me. If Katie or Cullen came down with the flu, would they just let it run its course, or would they be high tailing it to urgent care? It’s possible Katie and Cullen are misinformed, I hope they didn’t skip the visit to the doctor for financial reasons.

Oops, that first sentence should say *viruses, not virus. That's what I get for posting while I'm pumping at work.

Katie's not a "nerd". She's an overgrown bow head who has even posted about "reconnecting" with her college party girl self. I don't think she would give up Gaines to go back if she could. But if she could parent Gaines without having to actually adult at all-- just play dress up (after Gaines gets home from daycare of course), goof off, and drink, she would be all for it.

I really don't think that their lives changed a whole lot after Gaines was born. The yt money started rolling in and Katie was able to stay home. They weren't holding down regular 9 to 5 jobs so they could be immature and didn't have much responsibility at all. She was an easy baby and I think that inflated their egos a ton and made them think they were just superior parents. Gaines didn't cramp their lifestyle in the beginning. She was a bright child that was easy to take places and parenting wasn't hard yet.

The next couple years was the perfect storm for them. Gaines got older and got an attitude and was harder to parent. They threw Brooks in the mix and he was a more difficult baby (allegedly, children are a product of their enviornment). Then add in two adults staying up late at night drinking with no real schedules or responsibilities acting like two college freshman.

It has been stated ad nauseam in this forum for them to return to work but I will continue to say it in hopes that they come to the realization on their own. Going to a regular office job everyday would do them a world of good. They need a routine desperately in that house and the extra income would be an added bonus.

Kind of off topic but it made me think of C&K there was a family on the new season of super nanny that the mom is an Instagram influencers/mommy blogger. Her Instagram feed is so deceiving because their episode showed a family in shambles with out of control kids with parents who can't give them the time of day. Then she was upset when people called her out for being pregnant again! All of these yt social media families are a hot mess and I feel so terrible for their children who for the most part are simply a commodity to them.

Isnt that what shes already doing? Lol, and Cullen too.
They both ship those kids out to daycare so they can laze around, feed them a meal of microwave mac and cheese and put them in bed so they can drink the evening away....

True, but there are consequences for it. Let me rephrase: if they could do that and still have money roll in and not have to worry about debt, they would both be all over it.

Cullen has instastories up of Gaines and Brooks playing in a "ball pit" which is basically the inflatable hot tub filled with balls instead of water. And Brooks is in his underwear with just a shirt on.
That's right moron. Just laugh and post pictures of your half naked son on a public website.
They really don't think, do they?
And if they are selling stuff, why don't they sell the inflatable hot tub? Let me guess- they're "emotionally attached to it"?

I thought the same thing with all the insta stories of Brooks in his undies, there are so many sick people out there!

The last couple debt videos have yet to gain more than 50k views which is still more than before the debt series. But it is not as much as the first couple debt videos. They had an opportunity to gain some real momentum and get a new audience yet they have put no real effort into their videos.

I watch debt free journey channels that actually give tips they have discovered or tried and how they worked for them. Realistic budgeting videos as well unlike their ridiculous budget.

They will be back to barely 20k views per video by next month.

They mentioned in the last video about not being able to pay themselves last summer. Yet they claim they make SO MUCH money from yt and social media.

Cullen really should take on more responsibility with their finances because I don't believe for a second that Katie the shifty eyed shopaholic is magically paying all of the bills and halted all spending. Nerd my ass.

Cullen said they’ll be on the DR show in the preview of their newest vlog being exported. God, if that’s true I hope DR rips them a new one for not following the baby steps.

Don’t get your hopes up. If Katie is willing to talk to DR she’s probably just going to lie and spin things to her advantage (like lie about how much they actually bring in after expenses).

Dave can be a real jerk to people sometimes. I hope he uses that skill to call out C&K! I’m guessing he doesn’t though or there’s no way they would be posting it.

But any smart buyer would check the Price/tax history section and see the constant price drops and when it was actually listed for sale. A new listing isn’t going to make those go away.

Also, who the hell has a $800 monthly grocery budget for a family of four?! That is ridiculous!!

I could see their grocery budget being high like that if they bought organic, GMO free foods, lots of organic grass fed beef, organic chicken, organic veggies and then organic snacks. That is how we shop and our grocery budget is higher then there for a smaller family, but we also live in one of the most expensive states in the country. We do grow our own fruits and veggies during spring and summer which cuts down on that budget a bunch. How they spend that much on the garbage they eat, I will never understand. They literally eat pure trash. Like, your kid wouldn't be needing pediasure, which is a chemical shitstorm anyways, if you fed them healthy foods.

My house consist of my husband, 2 yr old, newborn and myself. We eat all organic and our meat is all grain free, free range, organic fed. Our grocery bill is between 550 and 600 a month.

Again, I live in one of the most expensive states in the country. Many other states you can get away with it, but not here. Also, we have food allergies, so there are some things that are ridiculously high due to that, like my daughters bread. It is $7.70 for a loaf. We deal. We live in a small house, my husband makes a very nice living, we travel, we drive new cars. We have all we could ever need and want, so I can’t complain.

[WatchinTheWreck]

"Only $2000"? It's $2000 they don't have right now.
She will use her pretzel logic to justify whatever she wants. Or Gaines wants.

About the Daddy Daughter dance outfit. If Gaines already owned the dress, I take back what I said about spending on it. But I stand by my opinion that the lip color was all wrong. Deep red/reddish pink is _not_ "a little color". She's five. It's inappropriate, especially since they're putting it on the internet. A light pink or sheer gloss would have been better.
Petty question: why does Cullen wear his blue light glasses outside?
Another petty question (I was looking at Katie's IG-- if Gaines had the flu, why not go get her some meds for it? I would have much less problem with them doing that than spending on St. Patrick's Day. And why take so many pictures of your little princess feeling like crap? I get that social media is their "job", and that there are people waiting with bated breath to see how she is; but even so, they don't have to keep posting pictures of her to update people. When my daughter is sick, the last thing on my mind is taking a picture and posting it.

I am assuming since Cullen says that he cant see when his blue light glasses are off, that they are prescription eyeglasses with bluelight coating. As for flu meds. Not much you can do for the flu. It is viral, so treatment is supportive. Elderberry is the best course of action, Motrin if the fever and pain get to be too much, but other then that love, warm bathes, lots of fluids.

No, there are actually medications now that drastically shorten the duration of the flu. Tamiflu is approved for children. They could have gotten it for her that first day. You have to start taking it within 48 hours of onset of symptoms, but they knew she probably had it. I wasn't talking about antibiotics.

Tamiflu is actually dangerous for children and it really is not recommended due to side effects.

These idiots just said they are budgeting 80 bucks for alcohol for march. I can't. I have zero debt and I don't spend that much on alcohol a month.

[Lovethesnark]

Lol.. an alcohol budget. Wow
