People who don’t want to work and are in debt up the wazzoo! In other words Cullen and Katie!Lolislol26 wrote:Don’t people typically downsize when their kids start moving out and they become empty nesters? Who downsizes when their kids just begin school!?
They are in Fairhope, AL, near the coast. Probably looking at houses.Creative74 wrote: ↑Sat Oct 17, 2020 10:01 am Just saw Cullen's IG story, where he took the kids outside to play, which looked like it was in a shopping center parking lot. And then he said something about "going back to the room". Are they out of town on vacation or something?? I must have missed something.
Yeah probably that house that was on their top priority list and of which that guy had said they could rent it, with $100 extra for 4 pets.scamartist wrote: ↑Sat Oct 17, 2020 11:56 amThey are in Fairhope, AL, near the coast.

Oh, Fairhope is VERY desirable. Maybe in a different way than beachfront, but still very desirable. We don’t know where they are looking at houses, though. That could have just been where they stayed.

They're basically going from a 4.5 hour car trip to a 3 hour car trip to her parent's beach house. Why not stay in Birmingham where they have family close by? I understand they'll be within an hour or two from other nice beach towns along the gulf, but they're not able to afford an actual beach location. The most scenic thing they could find to share on stories was a boat launch, because Fairhope is on a bay, not the ocean.
Oh they're definitely the kind of people to say "God's plan" or "God will provide" because they're self-destructive and don't want to act like adults or take responsibility for their poor decisions. They needed to go on this journey, y'all! They've grown and learned so much by being almost 40 with two kids and no money left after they pissed it all away. I did see that Katie's mom left a comment along the lines of "God will provide" on Katie's instagram about the rental, and it made me chuckle. Subtext being: your parents won't be stepping in to save your butt. I still can't believe that Katie was giving money to the church when they were $80K in debt and couldn't afford their mortgage. Her justification was some serious mega church televangelists prosperity gospel BS if I ever heard it. “If you give your money to God, God will bless you."
Interesting, I just did a quick search and the rental market appears to be extremely affordable. Perhaps the job market is not great? I would think those with money who want to vacation on the water are not looking to buy or rent so far from the ocean. I suppose it's all relative. I live in a high cost of living area (robust job market, high demand for housing) so perhaps my perspective is skewed. It looks like they could get a nice single family rental home at around $2k a month, but I don't know what their income is at the moment. And it's been on a downward trajectory since 2017.scamartist wrote: ↑Sun Oct 18, 2020 1:46 pmOh, Fairhope is VERY desirable. Maybe in a different way than beachfront, but still very desirable.

It seems that they're an hour or two from some nice beaches, but if I'm uprooting my life and moving away from both families for no other reason than to be close to the beach, I would need to be 20-30 minutes from the beach max. I don't think it's so much about the beach as it is running away from their problems.Boymomma123 wrote: ↑Mon Oct 19, 2020 6:26 am I am super confused about why they would move "to the beach" if they are not even that much closer. Clearly they are unable to afford the type of home they wanted with close proximity to the beach. Why move further south at all? If the whole point was to be close to the beach? Seems like this whole thing is some kind of f*ck you to her family.

With the way they are hemorrhaging money, I don't even believe they could pay $2k a month plus utilities.HashtagBlessed wrote: ↑Sun Oct 18, 2020 2:25 pmInteresting, I just did a quick search and the rental market appears to be extremely affordable.

It definitely sounds like they blame their families and YouTube in general for the fact that they bought and did things to impress other people. They should be looking inward to try to figure out why they were seeking that validation in the first place.hereforthekids wrote: ↑Wed Oct 21, 2020 9:40 am I watched a little of the dont tell mom podcast. They want to get as far as they can away from their family it seems. This seems like a large temper tantrum where they want to be like ha! To most of their family. Gaines had a really special relationship with grand dolly at one time. Its just sad that they cant get it together.
My daughter loves Supernanny. We say this a lot. But none of these vloggers would ever do a show like that because they wouldn't be able to control the narrative and editing. The real sh*tshow would be exposed, and they can't have that.Boymomma123 wrote:Been on a super nanny kick for a while and all of these families remind me so much of C&K. They should try to get on that show! It would probably help boost their social media following as well.
Doing this just to move away from family seems extremely childish. Her family cannot be that intrusive and have always been good the kids. I am sure its because they impress upon them how important it is to get their shit together. Katie is just and entitled spoiled brat.
