It's R Life - Part 1

[AlohaPineapple]

As much as Kendal thinks we’re all just nasty hateful haters who just hate for the sake of hating, it made me really sad seeing EV breakdown at the beginning of the newest vlog. Breakups are never easy whether you’re 17 or 70 but teenage hormones probably don’t help either. This was her first boyfriend, her first breakup, it’s not going to be easy. I felt bad for EV that her mom recorded this moment and put it out there for the world to see. She even used a screenshot of EV crying in the car for the thumbnail. This right here is exactly why I am against family vloggers - it’s not fair to EV to use her heartbreak as a way to get people to watch the vlog. They exploit tough moments for the sake of views. If you’re filming all the time, you’re going to end up getting clips of people crying or dealing with other tough emotions but they don’t have to include it in the vlog considering they’re the ones that choose which clips go in and which don’t. Let EV have some privacy while she goes through this, let her share her emotions and what happened at her own volition, when she feels ready. Give the girl some time to heal without a camera in her face.

I agree with you that Evie shouldn’t have to do this on camera but something that rang loud and clear with me was how Kendal said she was angry but Evie was understanding and forgiving. This suggests Cameron or his family did or said something that made Kendal mad. Kendal has no right to be mad or to even get involved in this relationship. And here’s where literally every relationship struggle starts in this family….Kendal’s involvement. Some child or teen says something to one of the Rich kids, Kendal gets involved, causes all-out war. Nasty comments and accusations follow suit and everyone is left in tatters. While a teenage break up is hard for the teens, it has nothing to do with the parents. I swear Kendal will cause a fight with Cameron’s family and they’ll have to change churches because of it. Thank god he isn’t a cheerleader with flip or they’d be in yet another cheer gym by the end of the season.
I do appreciate that Evie feels comfortable enough to talk openly with her mother but rather that offer a listening ear she seems to over share and brainwash.
It’s a pity there is no one in this group who actually knows the Rich family. But this teen relationship appears to have ended abruptly. Expensive Christmas presents, going to church together Christmas Eve, being together Christmas Day, to it being all over a few days later.

Is Evie really "understanding & forgiving" or is she insecure with low standards? Or still playing the part of being Christian for the camera? I wonder if Kendal is secretly upset that Evie doesn't want to be her partner in crime & start a giant fight.

[disgruntled_pelican]

I think it’s fairly obvious this “breakup” has more to do with Kendal and less to do with EV. I don’t think EV was a good match for Cameron, given his dedication to the church and EV not being religious (more on this later), but this was 100% Kendall’s fault. Like we all say, Kendal is a vile and hateful woman, which is the exact opposite of what Cameron and his family (or any REAL Christian family) is.

Looks like we’ve majorly triggered Kenny! Look at all her posts about what it means to be a Christian. She’s posting about how you don’t need to go to church or talk about being Christian to be a good Christian - all you need is to have Jesus in your heart. LOL ok, Kenny. Let’s be clear - we don’t think you’re a bad Christian because you don’t go to church. You’re a bad Christian because you are a BAD person. You patronize your followers, you’re nasty to anyone who thinks differently than you, and you are just an all around self absorbed useless human who does nothing for your community. You don’t have Jesus in your heart, the only thing you care about is yourself. Jesus would be disappointed. Stop using Christianity as a way to make yourself feel good about yourself or as a way to make yourself seem better than others. Christian or not, you’re an awful human with ZERO true friendships (Victoria Faugal doesn’t count) and all the cheer moms you spent NYE with don’t like you. You’re spoiled, entitled, vain, and vapid- and you’ve taught your daughters to be the same.

This is spot on . I agree 110%. We think similarly and you always do so well at elaborating what I’m thinking and wording it much better than I can. Are you a psychic by any chance? Kidding obviously lol

In a way, I’m glad she feels safe to talk to her mom but, on the other hand, her mom has essentially trained her into feeling safe by getting involved, ruining the relationship, then using that vulnerability EV has to further convince her that the only person she can trust is her mom. Each time it happens, it serves as confirmation bias that it’s true, that everyone will hurt her except her mom and that she is always right. Ken preaches constantly about taking the high road and having grace and forgiveness for people and praying for them instead of bashing them. She does this preaching on YouTube but when you go look at her other social media like tiktok and Instagram, she is way too aggressive/impatient/sarcastic/rude in reply to innocent comments and question in my opinion. She is the common thread in all breakups as you mentioned Glass. Each time, the bubble the family lives in gets smaller and smaller and the kids get more and more convinced that their mom is always right and that they love their (toxic) family dynamic.

I’d honestly be surprised if she hasn’t led to a fight between them and his parents. It’s fine for parents to give advice but you need to let kids sort out their own relationships and not get involved unless they have to for their safety or something. The church thing I think will disappear soon; I have a feeling they definitely won’t keep going to that church and I highly doubt EV will keep going to youth group and stuff where she’ll see Cam and that I suspect she was just participating to win him over.

Having someone come here that really knows the family would be a great Christmas gift.

Also spot on Pelican . It’s like this quote I see going around often “going to church doesn’t make you anymore Christian than sitting in a garage makes you a car”. We don’t care that they don’t go to church; there’s lots of great and kind Christians who don’t attend church regularly. It’s all cool. The issue is that hers and EV’s behavior does not indicate that they hold Christian values. Being mean in reply to innocent comments (NOT hate comments) is not Christian; neither is being super passive aggressive, using the Bible to *be* passive aggressive, nor how she treats people in general. They think that being Christian will make people like them but it’s easy to see through it after following them for a short while. Like you mentioned Pelican, the girls are following in her footsteps. Kids learn SO much from their parents and their peers as they grow up. Since the girls have grown up being homeschooled thus spending more time with their mom than anyone else, the way their parents act is going to have an even bigger impact on them since they really only have their parents to model their behavior. I hope the girls can see the light and realize that living this kind of life doesn’t bring you happiness, it brings bitterness and loneliness. It doesn’t cost anything to be nice and it sure makes your heart feel better to be a nice person.

If you want to be seen as Christian, don’t just *tell* us you’re Christian, *show* us you’re Christian. It’s not just a label you choose to look good, being Christian is about who you are deep down, what values you hold, what is of importance to you, and navigating the world in a Christ-like way with kindness and love and grace for everyone.

[Glass Half Full]

There are so many bible verses and quotes from Kendal and Evie that I’m starting to feel brainwashed.
My only theory in this whole scenario is that the Rich family didn’t act or dress Christianly enough for Cameron’s family. If this is the case then I’m actually glad that they broke up because a relationship that starts out this way ultimately leads to resentment and unhappiness. Kendal and Evie are now doing their best to prove their Christian belief through quotations rather than actions.

(Thanks for the compliment Aloha…..can I ask though where you’re from? I’m Irish)

So Evies leaving for NY very soon. She was re-dyeing her hair and dyed the tips of clovers ears black, that poor dog didnt look happy at all. Evie said shes gonna text Kendal the whole flight, Kendal doesn't genuinely care about how Evie feels she just wants control over her and we all know she would go to NY too if it wasnt expensive. Kendal & Evie went shopping for shoes for her to wear to NY & Kendal was complaining about how they're expensive. Kendal thats what you signed up for when you wanted Evie to do this modeling thing. Evie would have to have her hair re-dyed constantly, have spray tans on the regular & have her nails done and A TON more. There was a LONG list of requirements. Evie most likely wouldnt have been able to do this if her flights weren't paid for. I wonder is Evie & Kendal trying to go for a modeling career? Is the catalogs Evies in popular?

I have somewhat answers for your last question(s). This catalog EV is in is a great opportunity but it’s not a huge one. In cheerleading, there’s three big players in the uniform game: Varsity (the one EV was chosen for), Rebel Athletic, and Nfinity. There’s is obviously more but these are the three biggest. In terms of size though, Varsity blows the other two out of the water because they’re part of a huge conglomerate that also hosts competitions, has a live stream channel for cheer, host camps, etc. The reason I’m explaining all this is because it’s relevant to EV. So the photos she modeled for seemed to be for the school & all star cheer uniform catalogs. These catalogs go out to a lot of people but it’s no different than if you were hired for a regular catalog, it’s a pretty entry level position as a model. Now, some things differ in that some of the models chosen for this are “cheerlebrities”, as they call them, so basically talented cheerleaders on high level teams with a big following. I think this makes people this the contest is a very prestigious thing to win because of some of the people who win every year. Also, I think there’s opportunity for their pictures to go beyond just the catalog but also be used in other advertising for Varsity the company in general. Being used in that sort of advertising definitely would get you out there to a lot more people than if your photo is just in the catalog.

The thing with these modeling contests (all the three big companies I mention do their own version of this) is that you’re not payed, unless you’re a huge name in the cheerleading world who they hire. They pay for transportation and lodging and such but you get no pay for the photos you do. Sure, that may be fine for a cheer uniform catalog, not a huge thing that everyone will see, but what happens if your photos end up being used for more? What if they are used a lot on social media? Or used on a billboard for Varsity? Maybe things change and that if you get opportunities beyond the catalog, you get payed, but I’m pretty sure the contest isn’t isolated to the cheer uniform catalog, it’s for the company in general they just don’t guarantee anything beyond the catalog in case some of their winners are not great in front of a camera.

I know this was a long answer for a fairly simple question but there’s so many considerations that the answer is more complicated than expected. I definitely think they’re hoping this will be the start of her modeling career but I’m afraid EV would not make it very far, not because she’s not pretty but just because she’s not over 5’9” and rail thin. However there could be potential for more gigs in the cheerleading community. Saying all this, I do have to wonder if how many followers they have on YouTube influenced her being chosen. They have models every year that are influential in the cheer community but their channel has an audience beyond that, a new potential audience for Varsity to advertise to. I noticed it was Kendal who posted the entry on her Instagram, not EV, but Kendal’s account is more clearly linked to the YouTube channel through having the same name and she has more followers than EV. Just some food for thought.

About Clover, as a dog trainer and lover, I hate seeing her in the vlog because it’s frustrates me watching them interact with the dog. They really don’t understand dogs and most of them ignore her now for the cats anyways. I’m not going to list specific scenarios because this post is already basically the length of an encyclopedia but take note of how often she licks her lips, that’s a sign of stress in a dog and I notice it frequently. I’m surprised Clover is still alive with how often she darts out onto the road, it’s scary. Spaniels are very smart dogs and learn quickly so are very trainable if you put some work into it. I would love to see EV get into training and working with Clover; it would be a win-win, help keep Clover safe and getting a better behaved dog as well as building a lot of confidence for EV. Dog training is really great for teenagers as a confidence boost kind of like horseback riding can be in a therapeutic setting. About them always saying she doesn’t look like a cavalier, Ken has said that she has papers meaning registered to a kennel club. The thing is though, purebred does not mean well bred. On that note, I’ll shut up now lol.

Surprise surprise, more proof Evie doesn’t wear her seatbelt. The car was CLEARLY moving in the video and Daniel was holding the camera which takes his focus off the road as well. Keep denying it Kendal, but we have all the proof we need.

Why the heck do they always joke about putting a fake service vest on their terribly trained dog and bringing it on a plane. PEOPLE LIKE THAT ARE THE REASON US WITH REAL SERVICE DOGS CAN’T FLY WITH THEM IN MY COUNTRY ANYMORE.

About the hair dye, yes Kendal, it IS abusive to put hair dye that is unsafe for dogs on them because it can cause them harm if not dog safe. I don’t know if that specific hair dye is safe or not because I don’t know the brand but one of my good friends is an artistic groomer meaning she dyes dogs in fun colours and clips and there is very few hair dyes that they will use on dogs and most are dog specific. Instead of freaking out because everyone is calling it abuse, why don’t you google it *before* you put the hair dye in to make sure it’s safe? I don’t think you want to unintentionally hurt or kill your dog but that’s what happens when you don’t take time to check those things… All we ask is that you be a responsible dog owner; if many people are calling them out for abusing the dog, maybe they should step back and look at how they treat the dog and maybe just maybe they’ll see that there’s a reason they get that comment frequently.

I was hoping my video of compiled clips of EV without her seatbelt would make them realize how often she has it off on camera and that we can clearly notice it but I guess that didn’t work. Maybe I need to make an updated version lol. Ken lied big time in one vlog about it saying EV only has her seatbelt off when they’re parked or not moving but then include clips of her in a clearly moving car so she was proved incorrect very quickly. Maybe they need to make a spreadsheet so they can remember to keep up with what they say on the vlog so that they don’t keep disproving what they themselves have said…

Kendal in full bitch mode yesterday

And Kendal clearly doesn’t care about her kids since she allows them to ride unrestrained in the front seat of a car.

Has Evie never stayed away from home before? I’m fairly sure she was once away at a church camp for longer than one night. I seem to remember a vlog in NC where they all went to collect Evie in a rental car. So why the big deal when she has to go away for one night this time?

Evie’s TikToks about Cameron show desperation….and what does Kendal mean when she says ‘stay the course’? (It’s the first comment on the most recent tiktok).

OMG. Kendal is also in full Make People Believe I’m Christian mode. These modes are definitely NOT compatible. Those replies are not those of a Christian…

There’s some questionable things regarding safety in their home like letting the young kids ride in the front seat, let her kids ride in the car without a seatbelt, allowing and encouraging roughhousing around the pool (getting the kids to push or drag their siblings into the pool) and roughhousing in general. Again, doesn’t project the image that she cares…

I’m pretty sure that church camp was at least one night away but I think it was several. This isn’t EV’s first time away from her parents. Kendal & Daniel early on in their vlog went to Disney and left the kids with his parents for at least a handful of days. Isn’t this trip only one night? EV will be gone for less time than some sleepovers I’m sure she’s been to. It’s not that big of a deal. Kendal seems to not like not getting to be involved in her kids stuff.

I always wondered what she meant by “stay the course” because I never heard it other than from her until yesterday. I learned that it’s a common saying in the evangelical Christian community because it’s derived from the verse Psalm 119:1-3 “You’re blessed when you stay on course, walking steadily on the road revealed by God.You’re blessed when you follow his directions, doing your best to find him. That’s right—you don’t go off on your own; you walk straight along the road he set.”. Watching the tiktok though, I’m not sure how she’s intending it in this situation. EV’s video says “I’m still in love with you” which we can assume refers to Cam. So I’m not sure if Kendal’s comment is telling her to keep pursuing Cam or just a general kind of encouragement like “keep your head up, God knows the plan” kind of thing. Although you can’t make assumptions off of emoji use, I Kendal’s winking face emoji makes me feel like it’s the first thing. I really don’t know. Anyways, EV is going to regret posting these videos making her look super desperate; she’ll be embarrassed that she ever posted that in the first place. I think a break from social media would be great for her right now. She needs time away from social media to heal; making rash decisions when you’re in an emotional state often don’t have good outcomes.

The Cam tik toks are so cringe! If anything shes pushing him away more. Evie gets attached so fast & its not healthy. I 100% think "stay the course" means to keep pursuing Cam since a day ago Evie posted a random tik tok on her ig story of someone saying "i want stop until that boy is mine" (Its a Lady Gaga song). Also 1 of her videos said "i want my boy back now", girl he was barely yours. But they still follow each other on social media which makes it even worse, hes prob seeing these vids. She also makes videos with the stuffed animals Cam had given her & crying with it. Shes making herself look really desperate & crazy. Does she not have any real friends to tell her to stop this? I guess not, all she has is the advise from psycho Kendal. If they had a brain they would keep this plan (i guess you could call it) to themselves. If Evies doing this after only knowing Cam for a couple months imagine what she'd do to someone she knew for longer. How is Evie in love after only a couple months? Does Evie think these tik toks are cute?

[dmfthe2]

Kendal loves wasting money. Kendal bought Evie a coat for when she goes to NY because its cold there. But shes only there for a day, doesnt she have enough hoodies. Why does she need a jacket.

[dmfthe2]

**Sorry couldnt edit my last post**

Evie said shes gonna miss Kendal & then laughed so Kendal thought Evie was lying. Evie said "well im going to be having fun" & Kendal said "well so am i" and then explaied why she wont miss Evies drama. When Kendal said "well so am i" the smile went right off of Evies face. It seemed like Kendal was upset Evie wasnt more scared & clingy.

Evie looked embarrassed when her mother said she’d miss her. She didn’t smile at all…and then realized she should so she laughed. It’s like when the girls are going to the dentist or the doctor and Kendal asks them if they’re scared. Of course they’re not scared but if Kendal doesn’t feed them the idea that they COULD be scared they’d never NEED her. And she wouldn’t have a good thumbnail.

She needs to keep the girls scared and “weak” so she can keep them under her thumb. Like you said, she feeds them the idea that they could (and sometimes should) be scared, making them fearful of things they never would’ve been but if they’re confident and not fearful, they won’t need her and that’s her biggest fear. Maybe whatever happened between Kendal and her parents has contributed to her needing her kids to need her; maybe a fear of abandonment? She does the same thing with homeschooling and is doing it with college too. She makes public school out to be terrible and has mentioned before that college isn’t what people make it out to be and that she’s never go back to college. It’s a way of keeping their world small and them not becoming confident and independent so that she can keep EV, her best friend, and the other girls wrapped around her finger.

I felt bad for EV in that scene. I think she was genuinely hurt by her mom’s comment and I don’t blame her to be frank. Kendal is all acting like her best friend, guiding her through her breakup and reinforcing that she’s the only one who can be trusted. But then she goes and calls what EV is going through “drama” and that she won’t miss it. That would make me feel like my mom doesn’t actually care to help, that I’m just a burden with my drama. I think that may be how it came across to EV. I’m so torn because there’s things I don’t like about the kids but at the same time, I feel bad for them and wish they had a healthier family dynamic where they could reach their full potential instead of constantly being scared to be away from their home and the rest of the family.

Her encouraging EV to keep pursuing Cam is not good advice, it just makes EV out to be the “crazy ex” who still constantly lusts over him and can’t move on; these tiktoks are not a good look. Cam might be embarrassed and turned off by this behavior, not want to “take her back”. EV gets attached to people extremely quickly. I think she lacks a lot of self confidence and clings onto whoever shows her love (in both a dating and platonic type of way). Because she depends on that, one slight or fight can feel like the end of the world because she’s losing her source of feeling loved and that’s where mom comes in to replace it and show that she’s the only one she can depend on. EV needs to learn to love herself before she can find happiness in a relationship; improving her self esteem could work wonders for her.

A quick note. I asked my friend who is a dog groomer that does a lot of creative grooming which involves dying hair/fur. She confirmed that box dye is NOT safe for dogs; so no Kendal, just because it’s safe for humans doesn’t mean it’s safe for dogs. Clover could end up getting really sick if EV continues dying her with these box dyes. They can cause chemical burns, hair loss, skin sores, is toxic when ingested so yeah, it could kill her. Buy some dog safe dyes like Crazy Liberty, Opaws, or Warren London. There’s tons more. If EV loves Clover as much as she claims to, she needs to stop putting hair dye on her; I think she’d be completely destroyed if Clover was accidentally poisoned and died because of something she did. If you love your dog but you’re getting tons of people calling abuse over the same things, you would look into their accusations because you wouldn’t want to unintentionally hurt your dog. Maybe just maybe the fact that many people are saying the same thing means that they could be right… Dogs aren’t props.

Obviously the thumbnail showing high drama on Evie’s first flight is bull! Because she enjoyed the flight. I must say I am flabbergasted at the sheer number of people in the comments who claim to have never flown before or are nervous on a flight. And then Kendal saying she…a grown ass Middle Aged Woman….would be too nervous to get on a flight alone. I also have no idea how she can be sooooooo proud of Evie just for getting on a plane.

I am hoping so much that this trip is the starting to point for Evie to realise there are so many places to explore beyond Disney. She doesn’t even have to leave the country. But god forbid if she were to get a passport and travel the world! Wouldn’t that be a kick in the teeth for Kendal! Little Evie, her best buddy, doing things without HER!
