Pff, whatever on Corbin's job. He probably has a friend who has one of those shared-office spaces for people who are self-employed and want to have a space outside of their home to work. He probably edits the vlog there. Notice how he says he's "used" the office, as if the concept is completely voluntary.

Not to harp on Corbin's fake job even more, but Kelsey panned across the microwave and the time was 11:21 a.m. - so they likely didn't even leave the apartment until after noon. Drive time both ways and eating dinner and getting dessert all before sunset???

They have to be really stupid (and bad at filming/editing) if they think people believe he has a job.

Ha! That's hilarious. I don't know if they're making the whole job up, but I do think they're greatly exaggerating it. He probably had one meeting that lasted an hour. I'm betting he's a long-term remote temp.

Most vloggers/bloggers know that November/December is a lucrative time because companies are spending a lot on advertising for the holidays. But most freelancers know their income is unstable, so when they have a busy month, that extra money goes into savings to float them during a slow month. Their views and new subscriber rate continue to drop from the spike in September/October when they were featured heavily on Daily Bumps. Social Blade downgraded them from a B to a B-. So the constant eating out and the expensive new Portland apartment are kind of baffling when they're preparing for this huge new expense. Maybe Corbin visited his employer's office to talk about taking on more hours or getting a full-time position.

I don't think I've ever seen another family vlogger do a one-take that's just a sponsor's ad in place of a daily vlog. Was that a stipulation of the sponsorship? Normally I would assume the company would want their ad in-between "regular" footage so that it's somewhat sneaky and not just a four minute stand alone video. I'd be surprised if it was done that way at the request of LG because I don't think I've ever seen that before in any other vlog channel except for theirs? How odd.

I have family who take Portland public transit on a daily basis and no way I'd feel comfortable traveling with a newborn or child - the filth, the overcrowding, mentally unstable folks riding, etc. Maybe they'll uber a lot.

Haha I totally thought the unfortunate looking frames they were wearing in the beginning of the vlog were the snapchat glasses until I realized they hadn't gotten them yet and those are their real glasses.

They are going to spend a fortune paying for Uber every time they need to drive somewhere.

Hold up. Those sunglasses are $130 a piece?

I'm kind of thinking Kelsey returned hers. I can't see them using them EVER - and that's a ton of money. I didn't even know they were on Snapchat! I'm thinking maybe Bryan wanted a pair and paid them to get them and send them to him. I'd never spend that kind of money on a gimmick like that! My geeky boss bought Google Glass when they first came out and probably used them for about a month...what a waste of money.

LOL they read my comment in today's vlog (my YT username is totally different than my name on here).

I find it funny that Corbin doesn't really censor the comments, he just reads random ones, even if they reflect badly on the user who posted them.

Well, he blocked me months ago. He's not that cool with negative comments - especially related to his "job."

Notice how when he, his pregnant wife, and his dog are being evacuated through a smokey hallway, Corbin grabs the camera. I couldn't believe that Kelsey was standing outside saying how cold she was while Corbin stood there in his jacket. My husband would have given me his jacket in a heartbeat. Or better yet, next time grab your wife's coat instead of the camera. But of course he had to get the footage so he could tease it on Instagram and the beginning of the vlog.

For a person that is a writer for a 'living' you would think he would be better at using the right words. Yes the title of the vlog sounds right but the words in the thumbnail don't - shouldn't it be learnt instead of learned

No, he is using correct American English.

But he did say in the vlog "Whether we were in Nova Scotia or whether we were in Canada." ;)

He said he's a writer? I must have missed that. He was TV news photog, then a low-level producer. I wouldn't consider either of those jobs "writing" jobs - and he quit this TV jobs April 2015. I wonder what he "writes"?

Also, don't most people know drinking vinegars aren't alcoholic? They definitely went to Whiskey Soda Lounge for his birthday drink. They aren't doing a good job of hiding where they live.

Nursery reveal? No Kelsey it's a closet reveal, because you care more about image and zip codes. Perhaps had you not been so selfish & obsessed with your image, you would have put your daughter & beloved dog first.

Just bc they live in a small home doesn't mean they don't love their child and dog any less. It's strange to me that some people measure love that way,

I agree. But i think its more so the fact that they chose to live there when they could literally live anywhere in the country with their "job".. they could live closer to family, or they could at least live in a less expensive town to make room for their child.. but they seemed to have picked what they think is the coolest lol and so they can eat out for breakfast lunch and dinner. They could have also picked a place that has a yard for their dog..

I understand that you are a "fan" but please ignore my posts if you intend to twist my words and act like a total stan. I never said nor do I measure love by or with material items.

They could have chosen a more family friendly location. They looked at other places, one with a yard, another more space for the baby. THEY chose the most expensive apartment - that had little to no room for a baby, and no yard or green space for their dog.
