Similarly I watched a cheer vlog by Not Enough Nelsons this week. The family is huge and some of their kids have recently chosen to go into cheer so I think they’re on level 1 teams. The latest one has 4 girls competing (all in the same team) and they have 2 younger girls in a different team but they didn’t compete in the latest video. I think they’ve only competed about 3 times- each time they filmed.Glass Half Full wrote: ↑Wed Apr 06, 2022 2:27 amYou’re probably right about Kendal not understanding the family finances.Seri0usly wrote: ↑Tue Apr 05, 2022 6:30 pm Kendal might be more like an overgrown spoiled toddler in the relationship rather than the big boss. I really don't think she's setting up the LLC or handling business accounts or doing anything serious. Nor do I think that she deals much with the CPA (because I really doubt they do their own taxes). If she's not a part of that world, I think there's a good chance that she has no idea what their assets look like and has to rely on whatever Daniel tells her. I'm not saying that Daniel's a genius, but hopefully he's getting decent advice and knows how to lock some of that money up. Dad Challenge Josh estimated that based on their total view count, they should have made something like eight figures.
As for cheer, I wish they'd just give it up already. It's pointless. Evie's prospects are going to be grim if she can't find a better way to use her time. She used to be pretty good with Hampton. She could volunteer with kids who have disabilities and attempt to get a job in therapeutic recreation later on. Plus it would give her an excuse to stop renting headspace to these ridiculous boy dramas.
Regarding cheer, I just watched a Leroy family cheer vlog…I’ve never watched the LeRoys in my life before but thought I’d check out a cheer vlog to compare with Kendal.
The Leroy mother is WAAAAAYYYYYY more low key about cheer. She’s not hyper at all. She doesn’t play and sing along to their cheer songs. She doesn’t dress like she’s a member of the team. She doesn’t spend hours doing hair and make up.
Her daughters do private lessons but her kids are actually better tumblers than the Rich kids. One of her daughters is also on a Y2 team like Kapri but the daughter is a better ‘gymnast’. Her tumbling is cleaner and her lines are better. The youngest daughter is on some prep team (younger than Kapri) and is beautifully flexible and she can already do better tumbling than Brinley.
Does anyone know of any other family vloggers where the kids cheer? I found the comparison interesting. I can only assume that Kendal is in the minority when it comes to just how involved she is in her kids’ cheerleading careers.
When watching I compared it to Kendal for sure…. The mum isn’t pushy, just supportive. The kids are responsible for this own things (one kid forgot her shoes… yes they had to go out and buy some, but it shows the kids do their own packing)- there is no talk about winning and losing or scores or comparing to other teams. It’s more about blogging the process and how their kids do- that’s how I saw it anyway. Very much normal for low level cheer families I imagine- at least what may look normal for so many kids in a family!
Kendal is very over the top and has a very unhealthy relationship with her childrens lives- their activities, their friends, their routines.
