I too get the vibe Bonnie might use parenting techniques that people might see as controversial... But it's working for her and her family and she ovbously stands behind it or else she wouldn't talk about it so frequently. I can respect that. I don't do babywise things because they wouldn't work for my son. But if baby number 2 is they type who could benefit from it then why not? There isn't one way to raise a kid because all kids are different. She's got plenty of kids and expierence under her belt, she knows what she's doing.

I was recommended her surprise preg video and she reminds me of Ellie (her sister) enough to make me like her. I'm loving Ellie and Jared lately (and the daily bumps, GASP!).

I know this might sound weird, but my husband believes we can't afford more than 2 kids. & he's prob right, unless we want to take serious lifestyle hits. So I kinda get jealous of YTers who have so many kids. I wish I could too!

Nooooo....nit the DailyBumps. They are the most selfish, uninspiring daily vloggers. I feel so bad for Ollie they feed him horrible and give him no attention for being at home allll the time.

Yeah, definitely not feeling her blanket training video. I think it makes her look controlling. If it works for her, cool. My kid can walk around freely at his peds. I just watch him. I just don't understand the thoughts that kids can only do as we say, when we say it, or else.

The more I watch, the more annoyed I get at her voice-- it's so fake, just like her face after she piles on all that makeup. Her daughters adorable, though. What's with her kids climbing all over the tables and kitchen counters? That's so bizarre and dangerous too. In one video they were walking on the counter , past a knife they were going to use to cut the bread. She's just fake laughing as she records it all- wtf?

Her transformation from bare face to full makeup is startling.

I still like her though. I don't know why.

Agree. I find her hubby really attractive, I'm guessing he met her with makeup on.

Hm I don't think Joel is very attractive personally. The way he talks especially bugs me. Out of Joel, Jared, and Matt... I think Jared's the most attractive out of the 3.

Jared has a brother who is a YouTuber under the channel of Matt and Em. I don't watch ALL their videos because they don't vlog that much, it's mostly just the kids playing. But Carter and Drake are adorable... and it's fun when Matt and Emily pop up on the E&J vlogs.

I personally think that Carter is such a lovely, pretty name :) Drake always reminds me of GabeandJess...

I felt kinda sad for Bonnie in today's vlog. She's so insecure about her looks and she really doesn't need to be.

Same here. As soon as Bonnie said she followed Babywise I have backed off and haven't watched any of her videos. It makes me really uncomfortable that she follows those crazy and (at times) down right abusive techniques. Yuck.

Google will pretty much tell you enough to make you go 'oh no she didn't.'
Basically the thing most people think is abusive about babywise is that they tell you to not rock your baby, cuddle, no paci, nothing, just let them cry it out in the crib from the day the baby's born.
