Here's the story about what started it. Emily's mom dropped her off at their house on Halloween. Kendal saw a Biden pin on Emily's mom. That enraged Kendal and Daniel so mush so, that Kendal and Daniel left the kids at their house alone on Halloween the rest of the night without dinner. From then on, Kendal stopped her kids and all communication with Emily's family. When Emily's family went to reach out to ask why the sudden disappearance, Kendal went on a rant how she didn't want her, or her children, to be associated with anyone that didn't share the same views or beliefs. Emily's parents said they didn't care about any differences and would always welcome them matter what, but the Rich family refused since they are so extreme. That's just how stubborn, and closed-minded they are. That's when they began to fabricate lies to their poor kids that emily did something bad, to try and place blame on anyone but themselves.Swiss Miss wrote: ↑Wed Jan 13, 2021 4:31 am Oh my goodness, the people on this forum are amazing. Everyone makes intelligent and rational comments.
I also have a feeling that the cause of this argument could be political. I bet Kendal made some outlandish statement about foreigners/immigrants (which would OBVIOUSLY strike a nerve with Emily’s family). I don’t believe it was a simple difference of opinions. It had to be more than that. From what I see on the news, politics (especially in election year) in the USA are extremely important. I remember my parents and I voting in Ireland during an election and we didn’t vote for the same people or the same parties. Three people living in the same household with different opinions. It was absolutely no problem. We each respected each other’s choices. I believe that is often the case in Ireland where members of the same household have differing political views. And it’s perfectly OK! However my dad always said... NEVER discuss politics or religion outside the home as it will lead to an argument.
Moving on, Kendal made the kids repeat a phrase, “the people you hang out with are the people you become”. This doesn’t bode well for the kids because the only people they hang out with are their parents. Daniel, while seemingly nice, is a bit of a wet dishcloth. Kendal is just evil. She has no redeeming features or characteristics.
Their making of this video about Emily is disgusting. She has used something private and made it sensational. Neither her kids nor Emily deserve to be treated this way. Teen arguments are part of normal development. The problem with this family is the kids have no real friends and when there is an argument it’s major drama because they lose the one friend they do have.
On a side note: today my 16 year old daughter told me that she saw a woman yesterday who was dressed like a teenager...ripped jeans and a bomber jacket...and it looked so stupid. She said she hates it when people don’t dress their age. She did add that she knows I’m not a fashion queen but she’d rather I was like I am rather than trying to be like someone her age. I immediately thought of Kendal Rich.
It's all insane.
One of the Rich kids also has confided alot of troublesome family problems that happens at home to their coach at cheer.
It won't be long before one of their kids just can't take it anymore, and finally turns on them.
