Exactly! I had a mother that was a lot like Ruby and she lived alone, with no children, or grandchildren, around when she died. We didn't want anything to do with her when we became adults.Josette wrote: ↑Wed Jul 29, 2020 3:58 pmRuby's behavior makes Joan "Mommie Dearest" Crawford look good. Uber bitchy, demeaning and just plain vile. Down the road Ruby will be wondering why her adult children (Except Shari/Ruby Jr) want nothing to do with her.emma2948 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 29, 2020 3:29 pm 1) I don't know how Ruby always manages to do this, but how in the world is she able to relate everything that her kids are doing to something about her. She's always saying stuff like, "When I was a kid, I use to do this", or "Me and my siblings loved doing that." Every once in awhile is fine, but Ruby ALWAYS does this. She really loves to talk about herself doesn't she? What a narcissist. I mean again in today's video, shes like "I remember when I used to come here with MY cousins." Like no one cares.
2) I'm honestly so shocked Kevin the absent father is actually spending time with his kids in the pool. I thought he'd be the snob and sit out this one and go sit on a sun chair or something and be on his phone. But I guess for Russell's birthday, he has to keep up his fake image of a father who's actually there for his children.
3) I agree with everyone on the whole cake issue. But I find it upsetting how when Ruby mentions its 'Shari's cake,' she praises the decoration of the cake. But when she changes her mind and says Chad's the one who made it, she acts like the biggest bitch and says "It is the worst cake ever!! I don't want a single piece." (EXACTLY HER WORDS) How much more of a mean, vicious mother can you be when one of your children take his time to make a cake for his younger brother and you STILL insult Chad, Ruby? Your honestly the worst mother I've ever seen.
4) When Russell gets really excited (at the only good gift he was given, the laser tag thing) Ruby tells him to "shut it." Timestamp: (7:10 - 7:15)
So when he's laughing like a maniac, she says nothing, but when he gets excited at the one good gift he was given, then Ruby tells him to shut up?? Wth?
5) I don't blame Julie at all for not really hugging Ruby or saying a proper goodbye to her, BUT if I was Julie, I would watch my back and at least pretend to like Ruby so that I wouldn't get kicked off to spend time in the desert. I'm really worried though that Ruby has gone back to treating Julie like absolute crap again.
Russell got the laser tag gift from his grandparents (I think) so maybe Ruby was pissed that he seemed to enjoy (can you blame him?) this gift more than his "camping" gifts.
