I gotta say its cute seeing Sheri and Chad being partners in crime but are Kevin Ruby and the family really paying that little of attention that they're able to sneak out when literally a everybody is home? Also making little kids pay tithing on what little money they have is really messed up because most of the money probably goes to it

I was going to comment how gross it was that Ruby was eating chips off the floor, but then I remembered that their counters are just as dirty as the floors so it doesn't make much difference. Starting to agree with people on here, though, that Ruby needs some help. She's resorted to paying her kids for finding her airpods. I know people can be forgetful and misplace things, but that's just insane. Forgetting to do really important things like turning off a faucet or paying bills, losing her airpods so frequently she pays her kids to find them, and seemingly not knowing or realizing that Chad and Shari left. She's so absent-minded its scary, I wouldn't trust her to drive a car or take care of a dog, much less raise 6 children. Also, it's so strange that she seems so obsessed with controlling her kids and not letting them be alone, but then she just slacks off when it comes to knowing where they are or what they're up to. Eve disappearing alone for an entire day and Shari and Chad 'sneaking out' without Ruby noticing. I, mean, Shari and Chad are old enough to do things like that, but still strange that a mother wouldn't notice her two teenagers leaving the house or want to know where they're going.

Tithing is 10%

I just think it'd be better if they thought about a charity and donated to that. The LDS church has over $100 million, I don't think it needs Eve's 20cents...

Yeah, Ruby, per social blade you're roughly making $56k this month. Life sure is tough. Some people make that or less in a year. Take away electronics and give the kids nothing to entertain themselves. Because that would make them entitled. What? Do you wonder why your views are down 80% ??? People are sick of the narcissistic controlling checked out "mom" you are. Oh whoa is me, we had to cancel our vacation to Jerusalem. But the back yard and YOUR bathroom were already paid for. Of course. I don't think she realizes that her kids are the reason anyone even thinks about watching. Sure as hell isn't because of her or Kevin. I promise you that! No wonder Shari is counting down the days until College. I would be too.

I want to know what on earth Chad could have done to be so punished. I have a feeling when he is old enough he's going to be out of there and never to return.

Especially, since Eve has not been baptized and is not an offical member of the church.

Plus, Ruby supposedly tithes, so if she tithes on her income, then gives the kids money and has them tithe as well, the Church has received 20% of the income.

He won't have a choice. He will get kicked out at 18 whether he wants to or not.

Surely that's the trick? Support LDS businesses with your tithed money, who tithe that money, who spend with LDS suppliers who tithe...
I would have genuinely no issue with it if that money was going to people in need but it's just a growing wealth pile.

How can anyone think that is what Jesus would want? Piles of money, or food, (or toilet paper!) whilst others die due to lack of medical care, food, shelter...

I know that many LDS members will tithe and then also donate to charity or to an individual in need but that collective wealth could save so many lives.

Don't get me started on organized religion and the money. It's not just the Mormon church, although they are particularly wealthy because of the pressure to tithe. But the evangelical mega-churches are just as bad-- the pastors (supposedly disciples of Jesus) live in mansions and own jets and fancy cars. Decidedly un-Christ like.
But that's a whole other can of worms.
I think Ruby does the whole making the kids tithe when she gives them money, _on camera_, to look like a "good Mormon" raising good Mormons. She's showing off.

I was really proud of Shari in her vlog today, admitting on camera that she's burnt out from vlogging and doesn't enjoy it anymore. I would love to see Ruby's face when she watched that video and saw that Shari doesn't want to have a family vlogging channel like her in the future. I'm happy that she's going to be using her channel more for videos that she likes to do instead of making it all about money and views. I do wish that if she is burnt out and doesn't enjoy it that she would take a break or even quit now instead of forcing herself to keep making videos. Makes me wonder if Ruby is forcing her to stick with it or if she's scared she'll end up like the other kids and not be able to receive new clothes or basic necessities unless she makes Youtube money. I do feel sad when she mentioned being on camera practically her whole life and seeing Youtube as a job even before she started her own channel. I hope her and the other kids keep revealing and being honest about the burnout they feel and that they're completely over Ruby's vlogging them all the time. Hopefully she does find a real job or internship like she talked about and leaves Youtube behind completely. I think there is still hope for her to have a normal life and not turn into Ruby 2.0

I know this was a while back, but in Ruby's closet video then she had like 5 of the same skirt. I just happened to be looking at J. Crew (typically I shop at factory since their clothes are priced much more reasonably, but I thought I could just look), and there was Ruby's skirt for $110 dollars each. We all knew she was selfish but geez, way to hog that YT revenue!

Ruby and her camera are Golem and the ring! She feels worthless and the only people that feed her ego are some of her viewers. She will not stop because she needs that validation to breathe.

I get where your coming from but I can understand why she's not fully quitting. Ruby and Kevin probably won't give Shari a spare dime for college so she's gonna have to pay for it herself, and YouTube is a pretty good way to make money, especially since she's been doing pretty well in it so far. Plus college in the US is stupid expensive, regardless of whether she gets a discount on going to BYU or not. Of course I do hope Shari is able to find a well paying job (that's not YouTube) that she will fully enjoy that could help pay for college, maybe even a well payed internship or something?

I can't stress enough how much I would like Shari to go to a university that's NOT BYU or The University of Utah, somewhere far away where there are more then just mormons around. No offense but I really doubt she'll ever be able to "find her true identity" surrounded by Mormons who want to restrict that in as many ways as humanly possible. But again, college is expensive enough and I'm not sure she'll have enough of her own money to go somewhere far away. I guess it's just another way for Ruby to have her way with Shari staying in Utah.

No joke, but Shari you saint, you're not planning on destroying your family and exposing your kids every single time they do something remotely incorrect, unlike like your stupid mother, thank you!!!

Shari's new vlog goes to show how much more work Shari does than Ruby. In Ruby's videos, she's always talking about how she's been able to take a nap (but Ruby has said this so many times I'm pretty sure all she does is nap). And we see Shari constantly being the one who's essentially had to parent her siblings since her lazy ass parents can't do it themselves. And again, Ruby does NOT edit her own videos, and Shari does!! Shari talks about how editing, filming, coming up with ideas for videos all takes up a ton of energy and time and how she's kinda tired of it, but the only thing Ruby ever does is film and send it for someone else to edit. Ruby is a lazy butthole, she literally sits on her ass all day and pats herself on the back for doing absolutely nothing, while Shari is over there picking up the slack and trying to manage her life while having to finish off the last 2 years of high school.

When will there be laws protecting these kids in family vlogging businesses, requiring their parents to put a certain amount into an account for any child used in their business. Child actors are protected, why in the world aren't YouTube children? It is sickening the amount these families make from vlogging when they spend it all on themselves. Sure they take the kids on trips and many are living a life others can only dream of, but it is all being done at the expense of their future. It's parents' choice to make them YouTube famous, so why shouldn't the parents have to choose to pay them.

Ruby and Kevin have earned a shit ton of money off their kids participating in YT and if they have not put money in an account for them each, that is just screwed up!!! And there should not be any stipulations on that account, such as, you go against your parents wishes , you forfeit the money. It should be theirs free and clear when they turn 18. I'm sure Ruby and Kevin are not the only backwards parents with the ideas that once you turn 18 , you're on your own, so there must be laws to protect kids.

Shari actually specified that she only spends 2 hours a week on YouTube, but that she finds it draining. She wants to work 8 hrs a day like her friends. She must really hate vlogging if she'd rather spend her entire day working to make minimum wage in a crap job. Ruby can't be working much longer than 2 hrs a week considering she doesn't edit like Shari does. Imagine working only 100 hours a year and making millions. No wonder Ruby spends most days lounging in bed.

I am one of the few people that thinks that Shari is asked to do just about as much parenting as her parents do themselves (not much)....with the exception of being left alone in charge during the pandemic. The difference is that it is not Shari's responsibility to parent. Eve still goes missing for an entire day outside and doesn't come home for meals, even with the whole family there to keep an eye on her. None of those kids are being parented. Shari's desire to control them is what we usually see in her vlogs. She has been getting better recently though, even calling them siblings, and not "the kids". It is exciting to see sparks of growth and maturity, and I hope she is able to survive Ruby's reign with minimal damage. She is a hard worker despite her family, and I'd love to see her excel on her own.
