Phil and Alex: clickbait, vlog’s late, & kids they don’t appreciate | Part 8

[Brighteyes5]

Thank goodness they bought a house. There was so much BS with them “living full time for an entire” year in the RV and they are too self-absorbed to provide the stability their girls need. At least with an actual home that stays in one place and a community, the girls will be able to get some of what they need.

They are idiots if they think their viewers didn’t expect them to buy a house. It was definitely a good idea. Cute house, too.

I appreciate positive people. I really do. Like they can bring a light to a dark situation and make some of us pessimistic people see the good.

However as these two seem to do with everything, he had made his positivity UNBEARABLE. Like it’s more annoying than her voice overs. Not everything has to be peachy Phil- once in awhile you are allowed to have an emotion or not feel “blessed” right in the moment. Not every bad situation is the time and place to get up on the soapbox and preach light and gods divinity. I never feel sorry for Alex but in this newest video I did. Like she’s freaking allowed to be a little bitter right now and not want all these positive affirmations. Let her FEEL what she needs to feel.

Sorry I had to get it off my chest because I want to push my hand through the screen and just smack him upside his head when he starts.

Yeah toxic positivity is definitely a problem. A big problem. And when you have a platform as big as they do, I feel they really have a responsibility to not perpetuate psychologically harmful ideas. It really fucking pisses me off to see people with large followings promoting toxic positivity. All things in moderation! There is a time and place to allow yourself to feel negative emotions, for your own good and for the good of the people around you. Bottling it up is much worse.

Then again, for people who preach positivity so hard, they sure do suck at handling less-than perfect situations. Alex especially, she throws fucking tantrums. I guess it just shows that you really can't "#blessed" away your problems. They seem so immature for adults and parents? It's weird. I'm quite a bit younger than them and I feel like I'm more mature. I know people in their early 20s who handle their shit better than these two. I know age doesn't equal wisdom but it truly baffles me how these two act sometimes.

Yes,there are times when you feel sad n you don't have to play it up

[Tiger27]

I had to skip past all of Phil’s blabbing because I knew it was all preachy nonsense. A little of that is fine but one can only listen to so much of that. He needs to go back and get a pastor job so he has an outlet for all of that need to preach. I did feel bad for Alex, especially when she was sitting on the couch trying to explain the issue doing a fine job and he stops her and tells her to speak from the heart. It was so weird. Alex is annoying as hell in her own ways but I’d lose my freaking mind being around Phil with the constant positivity and preaching during times of actual tragedy. Like give her a god damn moment. Lots of other people in the comments were annoyed by it to.

Just want to put something out here. Have we actually ever HEARD a physician say this baby has a CHD. All I remember is Phil sitting down in the conference room and then Alex coming in to have her dramatic go to pieces. Then we have more drama from Alex and a "This Little Light of Mine" moment from Phil. Alex holds up 2 drawings describing a heart defect and hospitalization predictions for baby girl.
Think I'm a curmudgeonly old bitty if you want, but these two have told some real whoppers before to get views. On top of all this...wouldn't it be a devine miracle from God above if baby girl pops out and SHAZAM...she's absolutely perfect. No heart problems, 10 fingers and toes, round little noggin, and doesn't poop, puke or pee unless asked. Sleeps all nite from day 1. Alex's boobs will be flowing with milk and honey. It's like the second coming, only way better. The Congelliere's have an RV!
Well, just thought I'd run that up the flag pole and see who salutes it. Stay well friends!

I follow a lot of youtubers...and I am an expert to undestand at least most of the times when they fake or not

Those tears in the hospital and then in the RV next to the girls , for me at least, were real tears!!!

I dont think they would say such a lie especially when Alex wanted a baby so much!

They make it sound like their baby died!!! Grieving???? I get it, but damn, your whole purpose for traveling was to spread positivity and love on people, is it DEVASTATING NEWS? . Which I know it probably feels like it? But these are people who are IVF patients and know what loss and grief is....idk how to feel but damn. I feel bad, but then these people are so preachy yet they’re using baby girls diagnosis to make it sound like death?

Yea I got the same vibe. Like Alex’s IG gram saying the one of rhe worst days of our lives. My goodness I thought the baby died! Then I was like she had miscarriages before too.

Yes, this is sad, yes disappointing, yes horrible. But one of the worst days? Mmmmm I wouldn’t say that. Baby girl will make it out fine (more than likely), look at Phil my goodness Alex get ahold of yourself. You would have thought the baby was given a death sentence. Way over dramatic! What would the caption have read if the baby died or has no brain, would die shortly after birth etc.

The baby will have surgery and will live a long healthy life. Ao what if she has to take medicine the rest of her life.

People deal with worse news everyday!

[boredonthekeyboard]

Alex is in for a very rude awakening when that baby is born and steals all of the attention away from her. Nobody is going to want to hear her wine about postpartum hair loss or not feeling comfortable in her body or being tired when there’s a helpless little newborn laying there cut from stem to stern for heart surgery.

It took my husband to me 10 years and 3 months to conceive our son. Over those years, we had four miscarriages, I was diagnosed with endometriosis and had three surgeries for it, we went through two rounds of IUI and three rounds of IVF, I took all kinds of shots and pills and vaginal suppositories. And even though I went through three more years of infertility than Phil and Alex— and I didn’t have adopted kids!- I NEVER whined about it like Alex. Alex has always acted like she was the only person on the planet dealing with infertility.

And now she will act like she is the only person on the planet to have a child with medical needs. She will try to make herself a victim and a murder in this as much as she did with infertility.

I cringed so much when Alex was sitting there crying and Phil was talking about the freaking glad game from Pollyanna. How in the world can this man take something as serious as a heart defect in his unborn baby and try to turn it into a cheerful little Disney moment? And then when they were in that conference room, Alex was bawling her eyes out and Phil was preaching at her.

I don’t understand why they have been lying about living in the RV when they’ve actually been living in their new house. What was the purpose of that lie?

[boredonthekeyboard]

I wonder if they have health insurance since neither of them work...

[Barbiec323]

This whole thing about this baby is devastating. But, on the other hand, the baby has 1/2 of the mothers dna and half of her fathers. She had a 50 percent chance of having heart problems. If they do this again it could happen again. Do anyone know if someone else has this problem in Phil’s family

[Amsouthernbell]

I could have punched Phil when he started talking about “how he wants Alex to get fat” because honestly I think he wants her to stay fat so he can have an excuse to worry about his weight.

[Ellmae]

Damn. Some of y'all are brutal..I think you forget these are real people.

Phil and Alex have pleeeeenty of faults. I'm by no means a fan.

But this IS devastating. There is absolutely grieving involved.

I have a preemie and medically complicated child. Throughout much of his life I've been devastated and grieved.

I will add, I hate Phil's preaching. It's too much. I can't imagine being stifled like Alex is. He is way out of line and I hope they can find healthy coping mechanisms.

I always skip ahead through his speeches. Sometimes that means I skip the whole dang video.

I'm with you. I think it's easy for people who haven't been through traumatic delivery/NICU or just serious medical stuff to dismiss it as NBD as long as everyone survives. It is a big deal to not get to hold and bond with your newborn and plan for surgery. And the fact that she's a NICU nurse probably makes it harder because she knows exactly what they are in for and has seen CHD babies not make it.

If it's the real deal, we'll find out soon enough. Like I mentioned....these people have told some real whoppers in the past. I guess we'll see how it all shakes out in the end.

Yeah, I agree. I hate the way they set up the camera to catch the perfect grief shot etc...but the idea that they shouldn't be grieving is harsh.

It doesn't matter that their daughter will probably be okay. They still have to live through the horrible journey to get her there. Hospitals, NICU's, hours of waiting to see if she made it through surgery.... Trust me, even if the baby is fine on the other side, it won't negate the awful journey they have to go through. Having a loved one clinging on in an ICU for weeks and weeks and weeks and weeks is an awful thing to go through.
