Where did they get all of those nice expensive laptops? Like one of them is a surface laptop made by Microsoft and even referbished they're probably $800 and brand new they're just over $1000 for the lowest model. They could've just got every kid a moderately nice $200 Chromebook and been fine. Okay so maybe I'm jealous about those laptops sorry for my rant.

It's crazy to me because precious Ruby doesn't want to be made a victim by her kids and therefore refuses to buy them essentials when they have enough "money" to do it themselves. Do you remember how she wouldn't buy Chad new clothes after coming back from Anastazi and she wouldn't buy him a new school backpack! Oh yeah, don't forget that in one of the videos, Ruby wanted Chad to get a haircut, but he stood his ground and said he did not want to get a lot of hair trimmed off and that he'd have to pay for his own haircut anyway!! Wtf?? I think I've mentioned before that I'm near Shari's age and even then, my mom is still willing to pay for certain things like school supplies, clothes (if I really need it), a haircut etc And tbh Ruby, my mom buying me what I consider to be essentials does not make me spoiled. Also, at my school (even though it's not a private religious school like the one the kids attend) students can rent out chromebooks and return them at the end of the year, which is obviously way less expensive then buying brand new laptops 4 kids. I have a feeling that their school is doing the same thing, but I bet Ruby just wanted to get the laptops to flaunt how rich they are, and so that she could make a small montage of her kids decorating their stupid laptops. Also, my older sister only got her first LAPTOP when she actually started uni, and it was the brand Shari has, and it is super expensive, not something my parents would've splurged on just for the sake of it, but because she actually does need it.
Same I just got my own last semester, it was the MacBooks that the kids have (the Pros) mine cost over 2200$ US, and that was the semi basic model. However depending on what they needed/want in It, the size, whether or not you want apple care/ a apple laptop case it could easily go up to over 5k, probably closer to 7k now times that by 3. it must've cost them at least 15k-20k (just a wild guess).

The older kids couldn’t wait to throw him under the bus when ruby and Kevin came home and they all had an attitude with him when they were shopping for school supplies. It’s like they magically start liking their kids again once they hit puberty and then just start treating the next youngest terribly.
Not to diagnose anyone, just pure speculation, but when dealing with narcissistic parents, it’s common for their to be a family scapegoat and that scapegoat often changes every now and then. Julie used to be the scapegoat, but focus has shifted and maybe now it’s Russell.

But compared to Julie's treatment in the past by her family, Russel is getting the lighter end of the stick (unless its worse when they turn the camera off). Honestly though, I think Russel has his own issues going on (not diagnosing a child) but his overdramatic laughter, crying because someone else gets attention/presents etc. (not saying you guys are wrong because its been shown in the past that they always have a family scapegoat eve, chad, Julie and now Russell) However, part of it is (I think) he's spoiled in a way and used to getting things he wants. he loses a jacket at school? that same day he's getting a brand new one, one of the kids have a party? him and eve gets presents just so he won't breakdown crying and eve won't get jealous that he has a present. He gets the same person for the sibling exchange? he throws a whole temper tantrum and cries because of it.
