It’s R Life: From Rich to Rags

[Seri0usly]

It's in the new car vlog. 8:46. Kendal says "He stays back with his parents". She doesn't gesture to Daniel to indicate that she is talking about his parents.

Whatever she actually means, it's awkwardly phrased. The whole video is super awkward. Like what was Sebi doing around 4:30? They had to stop filming abruptly.

And why does she want a car that she is afraid to test drive?

I think Kendal actual did gesture towards Daniel, her hand is just too low to see it on the camera. If you look closely you can see one of her nails pointing toward him. I don’t think they have literally anyone else to watch Hampton, they should be so grateful for Daniel’s parents. Instead she recently publicly bashed them.

I doubt they’d ever let Hampton hang out with his real parents even if they knew them lol. Kendal may not treat him like all the other kids, but she’s still very controlling and clingy and likes everything her way.

She def meant Daniel’s parents and she even said “and sometimes Evie”. I know you love the conspiracy theory that Hampton is Daniel’s love child but this is just ridiculous. Nice try though.

I had written a whole rant about Kendal talking about kapris tumbling
And now it’s gone! Don’t know where I actually wrote it
Anyway:
A handspring front is not a skill, it’s a combination. It’s not like doing a standing front somersault UNLESS your technique in the handspring is awful. Was kapri ever prepped for this skill or does she just do it? While it’s not especially advanced, it’s also not something you JUST DO. I’ve seen kapri doing a handspring on Kendal’s stories and she is landing in a squat position. Kapri cannot do a handspring correctly. A handspring done correctly will land in a standing position with the hips pushed forwards and the upper body fully extending upwards with the hands reaching backwards (ca. 10 deg from vertical) and the eyes looking towards the hands…chin up. This provides the perfect start position for the somersault which is performed as a rebounding skill from the handspring.
I’m a stickler for correct technique because a skill performed correctly will reduce the chance of injury….and increase the chance of future success.
Doesn’t Michael have any coaching qualifications?

Just for further confirmation. Kendal clarifies in the comments of the video.

I think it’s pretty clear that Michael has no business being a coach. I have no experience in cheer or gymnastics and even I can see the tumbling is heavy and clunky. They don’t land well and their moves are not fluid. All three girls are lucky they haven’t been injured more severely.

Daniel use to always take care of Hampton and now Kendal throws him onto the parents. What kind of mother is she to this boy? Is there any reason she can’t spend time with him too?

Sure…the reason is she doesn’t know what to do with him. He doesn’t conform to her way of life. She has no relationship with him. Do you remember in the NC vlogs he used to sit in a high chair away from the family during meal times. She almost never had him with her during trips to the pool. She once did a vlog where she once took both boys out ‘on a date’ to Starbucks in target but that was after she’d received loads of comments asking why she only takes the girls out. On the girls birthdays they were taken on trips to universal. Sebi got to build a light Sabre in Disney. Hamton gets more Lego but never a trip to legoland.
Obviously he needed to go to school because they are in no way equipped to handle his learning needs but it almost seems convenient that he’s away all day because now she doesn’t have to deal with him while Daniel’s at work.

So basically she gets a mother of the year award for exploiting her child and not paying any attention to the child with disabilities. What a train-wreck of a family. Ugh her poor kids

[Willow2015]

Hampton is better off to be taking away from this family! Too bad we can’t look into this and figure something out. Poor kid!

Actually Hampton being Daniel's love child wasn't the first thing that came to mind when Kendal said this. The Myka Stauffer incident was the first thing that came to mind. Weren't they friends.

Also, I'm trying really hard to be polite. Have a nice day.

Hampton is not a love child.. They lived here when adopting him and there is no way Daniel was like that, if you said Kendall then I’d say YES. I wish you guys could of seen the overly religious family they were, they did homeschool only and only cause girls don’t need to learn they are only going to be mommy’s and in fact they were going to move to a commune with there church boy HAVE they done a 360. Kendals parents were so nice and a lot of the issues were that they we’re living paycheck to paycheck and had 4 kids all close and adopting a baby they couldn’t afford and asked everyone for money to help them out to help pay for Hampton (so sad) so her parents told her she should’ve thought before having a large family if she couldn’t afford to. But Daniels parents stepped up and helped out financially if you go back in records his parents co-owned their house so doesn’t surprise me that they have Hampton. Kendall wants perfect in her blogs and Hampton isn’t, is needs to be loved and hopefully finally getting it. But Daniel needs to step up and put man pants on and raise Hampton as the dad he should be. Oh and the affair hard to believe

You are right, maybe he is getting the attention he deserves from Daniels parents now. Maybe that’s exactly where he belongs.

[Seri0usly]

Hampton is better off to be taking away from this family! Too bad we can’t look into this and figure something out. Poor kid!

The decision to adopt Hampton was ridiculous from the start:

1. They couldn't afford it. Probably didn't have room for him. Five carseats officially put them in crusty van land.
2. They already had a bunch of toddlers and infants that they were struggling to care for.
3. The one who wanted the child was not the same person who was stuck at home doing all the baby care.
4. The person stuck at home doing all of the baby care couldn't bond with the kid because a). She couldn't breastfeed him like she did for all of her other kids b). She had a bunch of toddlers c). It wasn't her decision to bring him into her home and she probably felt like a martyr for doing so d). She might not have been in the best mental or physical health e). He had needs that she couldn't comprehend and wasn't equipped to meet with or without outside help.

Think about it. What about this situation says that Daniel is a trustworthy family man? Adopting Hampton was destructive and selfish. And that's not even touching on the harm it's done to Hampton himself.

Of course Kendal is a piece of work. But in a lot of long term relationships like attracts like. Daniel might put forth a good face, but he's probably as crazy and destructive as she is. Stop using Kendal as a foil and look at what he's actually done in his life.

If there's a lie about the infidelity, I am not going to assume that the cheating is some kind of gross exaggeration. I'm going to assume that it's probably a lot worse than we've been told and their reasons for disclosing it are as ugly as they are.

Thank you for confirming Hampton’s adoption.

Very interesting to hear about Kendall’s parents - do you know why they had a falling out? If Kendal was my kid I wouldn’t really want to talk to her either but I’ve always wondered what caused them to become estranged

[SwaggySpungo]

All this time we thought Hampton was Daniel's secret love child, but it turns out Hampton is Daniel's brother.

How do we know Kendal didn’t want Hampton? An anonymous poster here? Just curious. If she was vehemently opposed to it, I think she would have vocalized that and gotten her way. She doesn’t seem like the type to let Daniel control the decision making. Adding a special needs child on top of 4 young kids is insane even if you have the best intentions.

Kendal came from a very religious upbringing, didn’t she. Is this what they think they’re “supposed” to do, adopt a kid? Why in the world did they adopt a special needs kid instead of a fully healthy one if they could barely take care of their own?

Right now Hampton is young and cute and they can get away with treating him like a baby and let him play video games all day. I fear what happens when he’s like 20.

Do you know this family personally? Or just know about them because you’re from their area? Did her parents fight with her because they didn’t agree with their lifestyle choices? Adopting, vlogging, putting their children on social media?
People here have said her father is obnoxiously outspoken and OTT religious. Is this true?

[CioBella13]

Haven't been watching but want to jump in to this conversation. If Hampton is spending more time with Daniels family, thank goodness! He is getting attention from someone and not just being provided a tablet to just sit there. Not once have we ever had a VLOG in these last years focused on what she and Danel are doing for him besides sending him to school which they probably think as his daycare/therapy. I wonder if he can read? She still speaks to him in "their" language instead of correcting his speech and helping him. Can you just imagine all the money that was poured into cheer for Evie who now quits could have been for Hampton and taking him to therapies! Evie is now 18 and needs a game plan not be in lala land thinking of marriage and babies. Also, I still can't even imagine how this Mac N Cheese thing is going to work for Daniel and Kendal...he just should have gotten a normal job and called it a day.

[Hereforinfo]

Lived right nextdoor to them can’t get any closer and Daniel is the one who said he had a calling that he wanted to adopt. Hampton was a normal healthy baby when he was adopted, his disability didn’t show up till he didn’t meet his developmental milestones, but Kendal was all in on the adoption cause she thought she was getting a healthy baby but once he was defective she lost interest and it showed he was stuck in a stroller in the cul-de-sac while the other kids ran around and played or he was inside and a monitor in hand. Kendall’s parents are very religious but never saw them as cruel and they were here often to visit all fell apart after Sebi was born and the adoption of Hampton. Daniel’s parents were here a lot also and helped out more than Kendals but that’s not so strange. Kendal was home all day with the kids, schooling and whatever they did inside, there was no Starbucks, mall run shopping, excessive amounts of toys, clothes. Just very basic living and very religious with plans for their life with the church. So now it’s like a totally different family. Especially Evie she was so quiet and all she wanted was to be a big protective sister (awesome ) but the ironic thing about it all is they all dressed so modest the girls were always in dresses and never had belly shirts on or super short shorts. If only I could find pics of all of them to show you how different they were back when living here. Just so surprised how they changed and not for the better and just so very weird I guess you really don’t know people at all
