8 Passengers: Emotional Abuse Galore & Making Kids Sleep on The Floor | Part 17

[Happy+Charlie]

Seriously though, what idiot cleans the bathroom AFTER they've already taken a shower? You get dirty while cleaning, so it's obvious that you have to clean yourself AFTER cleaning everything else. Anyone who takes Ruby's cleaning advice is as idiotic as she is.
Today's cleaning vlog was extremely boring, I guess its been proven that Ruby has no personality of her own other then exploiting her kids.

Between Grandma Griff wearing her bathrobe in the morning (no apron) to cook a pot roast so she doesn't make her church clothes smell like food, but it's okay to take it to your bed and sleep in it; Ruby down on all 4's cleaning her bathroom floor, after a shower, Ruby only washing her hair once a week (girl, it looks it too) and bragging about it, Bonnie on all 4's (ahem, actually her kids) using tiny pieces of paper towel to wipe every inch of her floor; Grandma Griff licking little Julie's leg to remove a bunch of ice cream; Ellie feeding her boys in the bathtub; Bonnie propping food up on toilet for boys to eat while in the tub........the list goes on and on.......I don't know which Griff girl should get the award for Most Hygienic of the Year. SMH, and then to put it out for all to see.

Didn't they also chew food and then put it in their babies mouth???

I can't even with her cleaning the shower with the same rag thing she uses on every square inch of the bathroom floor. Common sense would say she probably washes it between uses, but with her you never know. It wouldn't shock me at all if she makes the kids do the same thing to their bathrooms with the dirty rag she just used.

I recall her purchasing micro something towels and said the kids wipe their bathrooms up every morning after doing their teeth, and getting dressed. So, yeah, no doubt they use the towels they use for their body for wiping the bathroom. Wants to be a clean freak but has birds all over her house, meaning bird poop everywhere.

It's all about the appearance. As long as it makes the house look spotless for the camera, hygiene doesn't matter.

It's so gross! Shanna Leroy claims to be "OCD" (she's not-- and blocked someone -not me- for pointing out that OCD is an actual disorder and NOT the same thing as being a neat freak-- what a bitch) and she lets her birds fly all over the house and poop everywhere too. I'm a terrible housekeeper, and although my house is cluttered, not "dirty", I would never have a bird flying loose all over my house pooping wherever it pleased. Birds can carry a few diseases psittacosis and fungal infections, but I guess if you pray before letting the birds out, you're ok.
And on the hygiene front, yes, they do feed their kids like birds. Ellie loves to sniff her kids pacifiers, and don't forget Bonnie making her kids lick the sweat from her armpits, and Ellie sitting on the bathroom floor folding laundry. Or Ruby making her sick children sleep on the bathroom floor.

....and now Russell in the middle of a pandemic touching money then the cookies then the neighbour kids touching money and cookies then ruby putting her fingers in ....

On an irrelevant note the way Kevin was walking down that street the man is really struggling with a mid life crisis!!!!

Their views are down significantly. Social Blade numbers gives you somewhat of an idea how poorly they are doing. I think there are days her sisters are doing better. Talking about a fall from grace. I image they will wait and see if the parenting problems blows over, but I kinda think they are not going to see their past success that included brand deals.
Oh, and no one wants to watch Ruby clean her bathroom.

Monthly Views Average (past 30 days) 7.9M is really bad in comparison to a year or two ago when they would do above 20M or 30M.
7.916M -24.5%

I bet people would love to see the kids clean the bathroom. she will probably say you can't do anything until your chores are done. if you do your chores you may have a bite of your food. if you want more to eat then you much do some more chores. i think she only wanted kids so they could do her chores and that she could make money without having to work.

[nesland300]

I see Eve playing around on roller blades while everyone else cleans the garage. I think any of the other kids would have gotten in trouble for that.

If Chad gets a job, who wants to bet on how long it takes for Ruby to come up with some poor excuse to make him quit?

she would probably tell him that all of the money you make from your job goes to me as i help take care of you and give you a place to live.

So, does Ruby still only wash her hair once a week when she has worked out? Surely her head gets sweaty walking or working out.

If she cleans her shower head with the same rag she scrubs around the toilet with, maybe washing her hair less often is a good thing.

[rulatows000]

Yay, you go Chad! Get a job and get out of Ruby's control! The only thing is that I'm sure Ruby would refuse to drive him to work, but hopefully one of his friends or Shari will help him out with getting there. It's pretty telling that he didn't want to tell Ruby that he was printing out an application, I could tell from the look on her face she's already calculating how to mess it up for him. I hope he does get a job, though, and stops being in the vlogs because he's at work. I would love to see him using his paycheck to buy himself new shoes, clothes, backpacks, food, bleach for his hair, and stuff for his bedroom and watch Ruby boiling inside.

Also, in that Instagram story Ruby posted, it seemed like Russell couldn't count money at all. He was so confused looking at the money and looking at the customer like he didn't know what to do. One of the girls had to talk him through what to do. I don't have kids, so I don't know what's normal for milestones for a kid that age, but that just kind of took me by surprise. He's almost 9 and I was pretty sure at that age I could count coins or at least be able to tell, oh I can get this many cookies with this much money.

Has Shari quit YT?

[emma2948]

Why does Ruby even bother to pretend that she "regularly" gets up bright and early in the morning to have an hour long walk when we all have known and seen her wake up usually at 11 or even 12 in the afternoon. She's just a lazy pathetic lying bitch IMO. All of the different angles of her camera set up to catch her walking just proves my point.

And Ruby, cleaning out the garage will take you all day if you refuse to put your stupid camera down. It doesn't surprise me one bit that Ruby is the one acting like a child whining about being hungry and hot and Chad is the one who has to act like the adult helping clean out the garage. I mean imagine what he had to go through in the hot desert with a very heavy backpack. And lazy Ruby can't even clean out the garage without having her kids do the majority of the work for her. Ruby you're neither "cute" nor "relatable" when you act like a child.

What was the point of steaming the garage floor?? Like I get hosing it down, but steaming it is such a huge waste of time. Doesn't surprise me though considering Ruby is the idiot who cleans the area UNDER the washing machine and dryer.

[emma2948]

Ruby's facial expression when Chad unwillingly tells her he applied for a job is very telling that she's not pleased with the idea of him working and actually being independant. It shocks me that Ruby and Kevin are so obsessed with kicking their kids out at soon as they turn 18, but Ruby can't seem to handle the fact that her son wants to be a bit more financially independant by getting a job of his own not related to YouTube.

Also I kinda wish Shari wouldn't immediately shoot down the idea of Chad working at the grocery store just because of his age and limited experience. Obviously Chad isn't gonna have a ton of experience, this is his first REAL job that's not YouTube (he's only 15, so employers will understand that he obviously won't have a ton of experience) Also 8 hours of work per day is the very max that they can ask Chad to do, and they probably won't have him work every single day of the week for 8 hours starting right away considering this is his first real job and he's not used to that yet. Shari probably wouldn't know this though since the only job she's ever had is YouTube.

I think it’s wonderful that Chad wants to get a job. Working as a teenager is a really great experience and will allow him to have some independence. My only question is: why did Shari have to be involved in the discussion? She’s not helpful as she’s never had a job outside the home, and just wants to tear her siblings down and make fun of them. Of course Chad hasn’t had a job yet, he’s just getting to the age where he can work. I think Chad would do well in a typical job for teens, he takes direction well and doesn’t seem to have much of an attitude. Shari should also get a job outside the house. She needs to learn to take instructions and criticism without mouthing off, and how to act towards a superior and authority figure.

It will be just like all the other hobbies Ruby made the kids quit because she arbitrarily decided they were too busy all of a sudden (translation: driving them was cutting into her sitting on her ass doing nothing time). As for the money, I'm sure the kids' accounts all have Ruby and/or Kevin's names on them. I wouldn't put it past Ruby to transfer his pay to another account (or make him set up direct deposit to her account) and then make him earn it back with chores.

That was my question when I saw it. Like let's steam the garage floor to kill germs, but wipe down every surface in the bathroom with the same rag AFTER taking a shower. It shows Ruby's housework motivations are about two things: forcing work on the kids for vlogs, and making the house look good for the camera (hygiene be damned).

Of course Shari is participating in the discussion. She injects herself into every discussion in the house it seems. Kids need punished? Shari has suggestions. Grocery list? Shari will take over. While I agree that she needs an attitude adjustment, I also know that she is a product of her environment. She is in a weird spot. She isn't actually a parent, but because of Ruby's insistence on having more kids than she could handle, with miscarriages and the attached recovery physically and emotionally in between, and Kevin's absentee parenting, Shari has been forced into a parenting role. It's so unfair to her. It was really telling when Kevin posted that speedo picture and she commented "Me and the kids are screaming". Bad grammar aside, she separates herself from "the kids". So she is stuck in between. She's not really a parent, but she's not one of "the kids" either. So since she doesn't fit in, she has to inject herself into conversations so she can feel like she belongs.
Just my non professional analysis. Not a shrink or anything like that.
