Omg I haven’t finished the newest video yet but the fact that EV leaves cups and food in her bathroom to the point it’s growing mold is DISGUSTING. Daniel just laughed about it but that is beyond gross and not funny imo, they could end up with some sort of bug infestation or mice or something. I’m a bit of a cleanliness freak so maybe this bugs me more than most but I know they definitely won’t be laughing when they need to move out for a few days to get their house fumigated because their 17 year old is not responsible enough to bring her empty dishes to the kitchen and wash them…
. EV only has one more year of high school and lots of people move out at 17, I did, but I can’t imagine her taking care of herself & a house or apartment with how things are now when it comes to her cleaning and such.
There is no chance Evie will move out. Who will support her (financially). I don’t think the Family has anywhere close to enough money to run two households. Evie is totally incapable of fending for herself. She can’t drive, she doesn’t work, she’s poorly educated, she doesn’t want to GO to college (maybe online). It’ll be a long time before she can look after herself. Honestly I think 17/18 is too young to be leaving home UNLESS the child is going to stay in dorms with other kids. I cannot see any of my children leaving home before they’re 25
She definitely isn’t able to fend for herself at this point. I agree about the supporting two households; it’s very expensive. My parents did it for my sister while she was in university (or college for americans) and it wasn’t easy that’s for sure. I do agree that 17/18 is young to move out but it’s most definitely the “norm” where I live. Kids graduate high school at 17/18 and must go directly from high school to university or community college and a big portion of those kids leave home because of the location of the school. I did live in dorms though when I moved out and it was a really great experience; I had a lot of fun and it taught me a lot of independence and I grew up a lot. Maybe if Evie was given no choice but to care for herself, it may make her grow up since she would have no other choice. They are not setting up their children for success, especially Bones of course. Off topic but I really think they baby him unnecessarily and I don’t say that to discount his disability, I am disabled, but I say that because I think he’s capable of more, I think he understands and thinks at a much higher level than they give him credit for. I think because he doesn’t speak “regularly”, people assume that he doesn’t think “regularly” either but even if he may not be able to express certain things, it doesn’t mean he doesn’t get it.

I was appalled and disgusted by EV’s filth. It’s one things to by messy and have clothes all over the floor (still not acceptable in my opinion) and it’s another thing to leave food around to rot. I’m sure there’s much more disgusting things in her room that Kenny and Daniel don’t know about. There’s messy and there’s dirty and EV is dirty. Why don’t they discipline her? Why is it that every time EV does anything that needs to be corrected, Daniel just laughs? It’s pretty clear these kids get to do whatever they want and neither parent tells them “no”. It’s also pretty clear neither parent actually parents the kids. Both Kenny and Daniel act like they are their kids friends and not in a position of authority- it’s so weird! I wonder if they are over compensating for the years of discipline they did do on EV- they feel bad so they let her do what she wants know. All I know is I would never let my kids room get to that point and if it did they’d be grounded.
I completely agree- EV is not moving out at 18 or even at 20. Which I personally think is fine. The whole “move out at 18” culture is weird. Most 18 year olds are not ready. BUT, I do think EV needs to have more real world experience before even considering moving out and I’m not sure she’ll ever get that by living with Kenny and Daniel. She’ll stay at home until she’s 21-22 and then probably move in with a friend. I’m sure Daniel and Kendal will still pay her bills for a very long time. I can’t see EV working or even wanting to work. She gives me gold digger vibes.
Also- have y’all noticed that Brin and Kap have both started to not wear their seatbelts in the car anymore? I’ve seen it now a few times on videos and Instagram. It’s so bizarre to me that again, neither Daniel or Kenny tell them to put their seatbelts on. They always talk about how crazy Florida drivers are yet they’re not doing one of the most simple things you can do protect yourself (seems like a trend in this family). These girls need real parents who will guide them appropriately in life. Not the two dumbos they have who think it’s better to be “cool” than to be a parent.
Glad I’m not the only one who found that really gross! Remember when EV’s friends Caitlin and Gigi cleaned her room and found old bowls from chipotle or something and other food under her bed? It’s a wonder they don’t have a fruit fly or mouse infestation already. Daniel seems to be too afraid of what Ken would say if he were to discipline her favourite child which is why I suspect she gets away with everything. I think everyone walks on eggshells around her. This is not a laughing matter IMO but Daniel just giggles about it. Maybe parenting happens off camera? I think that is just wishful thinking lol. As a kid, we were expected to keep our rooms clean or we lost privileges like getting to go out with friends or whatever however we respected the freedom our parents gave us in exchange for us following their rules so it very rarely needed to be reinforced in our house because it was a very clear expectation. Maybe they are overcompensating for her childhood but it’s definitely not going to do her any favors in the long run. I wonder if any of the kids have stumbled on Ken’s blog and how she would explain it away if they confronted her about it…
I didn’t notice about the seatbelts! Thanks for pointing it out! I definitely saw it once I knew to look for it. They constantly show clips of accidents on the road and talk about how bad drivers are in SOUTH Florida (because it’s never just Florida, it has to be pointed out that it’s south) yet they don’t make their kids wear seatbelts… I think it normal for teens to challenge the rules on things but that’s why they have parents, to teach them right from wrong and to keep them safe with their still developing teenage brains. I’m not in touch with what the trends are these days but it could certainly be one. I would really hate to see one of the kids get hurt in a way that could’ve been prevented because of not wearing a seatbelt. The girls may not get along but Kap and Brin seem to look up to EV to an extent which could be why they’re doing it. The girls all want to be individuals and unique yet they tend to copy own a lot of the same clothes and stuff; it’s an interesting dynamic that’s for sure. However if Ken and Daniel would’ve corrected EV on it and made her wear it, this likely wouldn’t be happening. I know someone commented on it once and Ken’s reply was that EV wears her seatbelt and if you see her not wearing it, it’s because they are parked or pulled over to vlog but if you watch the videos, everyone can see her not wearing it in a moving vehicle… Their parents need to care more about their kids safety than being the “cool” parents.
