I’m glad you mentioned about EV’s weight. I mentioned something many months ago about it because it’s been going down for many months now. You can tell her cheer uniform is fitting looser than it did when she got it. I’m honestly really afraid and would be unsurprised if she has an eating disorder. I hope to god not because nobody deserves to go through that but with her mom’s obsession with vanity and being skinny plus the disordered eating habits the whole family has then having sisters who a lean beans on top of being on a very image focused sport like cheerleading where thinness is highly valued are all a recipe for a high likelihood of developing an eating disorder.disgruntled_pelican wrote: ↑Tue Mar 22, 2022 4:49 amGreat thoughts, Aloha!AlohaPineapple wrote: ↑Tue Mar 22, 2022 2:46 am Thoughts on today vlog, “LAST DAY OF SPRING BREAK INTERRUPTED BY A BIG STORM!” [sic]. Spoiler: there was no storm, it rained.
1) EV brought Brin, Kap, and Hampton to their neighborhood pool. Later, Kenny had to go to the pool to get the car keys. Does that mean she was driving without a license?! I’m sure if she passed her driving test and got her license we would’ve heard about it. That’s really scary if she’s driving without a license…
2) Kenny’s big spiel about her anxiety doing new things or things by herself. Welp… this explains a lot. She seems to really manipulate her kids into believing she’s the only one they can trust and that they can’t function without her. I’m sure a lot of her toxic traits in relation to family stuff lies in this anxiety. If the kids always depend on her, she’ll never have to do things by herself. She clearly has a lot of anxiety in general, she has expressed this herself many times, but it’s being passed right onto the kids
3) I couldn’t believe they got a different tub of ice cream for each kid. In my family, we’d take turns getting our favorite or compromise for something we all like. Maybe my family was the weird ones here but buying 7 tubs of ice cream seems excessive. Someone here has said this before (sorry can’t remember who) but they’re a gluttonous family.
4) almost the same as with the ice cream but was weird to buy so many different meats and cooking them all at once. Usually we’d choose one for that meal and freeze the rest…
5) Sebi was acting kinda bratty imo about getting the wrong ice cream. Seriously not the end of the world but had to get made into a big drama as always. I’m starting to see him going down the same path as his sisters. He could’ve expressed his disappointment, that’s fine, but he should’ve just dropped it there and appreciated he had some in the first place. I bet if it was Kendal or EV who got the wrong ice cream, Daniel would been back in the car heading back to Walmart right away to get the right one.
6) Kenny said the girls liked the neighborhood pool because it was heated. This says a lot about their financial statues because they have a heater on their very own pool, they just don’t turn it on because they can’t afford the electric bill. They shouldn’t have bought this overpriced cookie cutter home that has led to them being house poor and not being able to afford to use some of the luxuries of their own house like the pool heater because of money. Not to mention the pool is really shallow, much lower than the depth the average pool is. Everything in their life is for their image and just having the pool contributes to the rich facade we all see through.
7) poor Daniel tries to do a surprise for Kenny, a keto ice cream, and she ruined the surprise by already opening and eating it before Daniel was able to surprise her with it. This family comes off as SO food obsessed, another part of their toxicity
8) KD are still doing Keto even though most people don’t do it this long. For those not familiar, you basically eat no carbs. There’s a reason why you’re not supposed to do it for long: your body needs carbs. Simple as that. I wonder what the supposed health benefits Kendal is having from it?? It surprised me when she said she’s not at her goal weight yet because she’s quite thin now; she looks good and healthy, I don’t think she needs to lose anymore weight
It def sounds like EV drove but maybe they let her since it was just in their neighborhood? Still a weird choice. I’m SURE she wore her seatbelt too
I think Sebi being mad is normal. He’s 10 and he sees his sisters always get what they want so he has the right to be a little bratty. I actually don’t think his reaction was bad at all- he moped around for a bit and then ate it.
Kendal and her anxiety explains everything you need to know about her. She’s a mess and she can’t function without other people there to protect her which is why she’s so codependent on her girls- esp. EV. YIKES Kendall. Get some therapy (it’s a good thing)
It was def weird to see Daniel buying 12 tubs of ice cream. That as like $50 on ice cream! Why not just take the kids out for ice cream? Cheaper and less wasteful.
The meat thing was weird too- I think Kendall is just indecisive and wanted options so she wouldn’t be disappointed.
This family spends SO much money. Everyday. Is there one day where they don’t go to the store?
Just like her anxiety issues, Kendal passes her vanity issues on to her kids. Her kids see her doing these fad and restrictive diets, they see how she spends time and money on her hair, nails, face, etc. it’s totally fine to want to look good, but when you spend so much time emphasizing looks, you will develop a complex. It looks like Kendal has that issue and is now passing it down to her kids. EV is the most impacted which is why none of us are surprised at the events that have transpired between her and the boy.
EV is obsessed with how she looks. She’s become very skinny and is always in revealing outfits and showing that off on the internet. She wants the attention. She wants to be validated because that’s how she thinks you get your self worth. And that’s because Kendall has taught her that. Disgusting.
If they were seeing a therapist in that vlog the other day, maybe it was about EV having an ED and that’s why they were saying it was a new beginning because it would be the start of her becoming mentally well/recovering from the ED. Just speculating but I think this could be possible. There’s often a lot of shame behind ED’s so it would make sense why they aren’t sharing about it publicly. EV puts off an attitude as though she’s so confident but a lot of people with low self esteem hide behind false confidence so people won’t see how unhappy they are with themselves; her seeking so much external validation points to that too.
In my opinion, if this is what’s happening, Kenny is the guilty one here. Kenny admittedly has a lot of anxiety and is way too focused on appearance. It’s a known fact that mothers can cause EDs in their daughters but EV would be at higher risk than your average girl because she literally spends all her time with her mom; she’s stuck in the Rich bubble and that’s all she really know, making her parents even more influential on her since they’re the only people in their lives to be influenced by. Regardless of if EV does or doesn’t, Kendal has passed on her many toxic traits to her kids which is sad. Not only do I think Kenny really needs therapy, I think the kids really need it too so they can unlearn these toxic things before it’s too late. I can’t see this ever happening. I wouldn’t be surprised if KD are the type who don’t really believe in therapy.
To be honest though, I love therapy and I think every single person in the world should be in therapy (and everyone to have access to it no matter their financial status). It’s so helpful whether you deal with mental illness or not; we can all benefit having someone to talk to about the tough moments in life and have help processing it. Mental health is SO important!
