Her voice in Julies video doesn't sound quite as delighted by this child.
I used to read Ruby's old blog (private now) and there were a few things on there that came to mind. Julie wore a helmet as a baby and the vibe I picked up from that just seemed neglectful on Ruby's part. (NOT saying babies who need helmets are neglected!)
She has said four kids was her hardest stage, and I wonder if maybe she held a bit of resentment unconsciously toward her fourth baby - Julie. I think Julie got the worn out, frazzled mom who wasn't ready to take on a fourth.
I specifically remember a post on Ruby's blog about Julie being made fun of by her siblings for being smelly. She was probably two at the time. Ruby realized she hadn't been taking care of Julie, so she bathed her and did her hair and put her in a new dress.
Even now, I wish ruby would take more care in Julie's appearance and just love her more. She reminds me of a lost little puppy dog looking for approval and love.
Ruby really annoys me. We can all tell that Julie is a shy and quiet girl who like you said is looking for approval and love...its pretty clear in the videos. Why does her own mum not see it?? I hate that shes separated her from Abbie. Shari doesn't need Abbie and Abbie doesn't need Shari but Julie does. And now when I watch the videos It feels Julie is left out more and more. Now it's Shari chad and Abbie. On Ruby's instagram she put a picture of Abbie saying how she's growing up etc, although I think this is a good thing she is still young and her moving into the room with Shari I think is going to make her grow up too quick into a mini Shari, this I think is a big mistake. Shari is old before her years, she needs to let loose a bit and Abbie is way to young to be copying her sister. Ruby should have put the 3 girls in one room and Shari in her own. Maybe it's just me...but I think children should be children and when parents push them to act older it annoys me.
Lying on the bathroom floor is revolting. It should be reserved only for times when one is unconscious, which is hopefully never! Setting up a sleepover station in the bathroom is really bizarre to me. I'm glad it has been discussed here because when I watched the video, Ruby made it seem so normal that I almost thought maybe I was the weird one for finding it odd! One thing that has come up a lot on these boards, though (at least with Ellie, Ruby, and Bonnie) is the general understanding that they had a really dysfunctional childhood, and that their mother, Jennifer, was really strict/cold/controlling/odd... I guess I have never noticed that. Is there some particular thing that points to this or is it just an assumption based on the vlogs these women make? I'm certainly not saying it isn't true, just curious... thanks!

Same, this is what I do with my kids. Put a couple of towels down on the couch for them to lie on, comfy pillow and blanket and trash can in case they need to be sick. Who wants to lie on a cold, hard bathroom floor when they feel miserable? Not me!

Ruby doesn't seem to understand age appropriateness. I though the same thing when I saw the Instagram post about Abby. Um, ruby, Abby is still VERY much a girl, no where near being a woman! Ruby treats her little kids as if they are babies and her older children as if they are ready for college. Where's the middle ground?! So strange. And I agree she lets Shari dress and act WAY older than 13!
Edited to add: I guess when you think 18 is an appropriate age to get married, 13 really is "almost" an adult!
In today's vlog, Ruby picked Shari up early for school... just because - for no reason! Shari really is running her mom. I mean, what parent would pull their kid just because they asked? I was taught you always go to school; you can't just go home if you feel like it.
I just watched some of the old vids. Even at 8, Shari was pretentious lol. Abby was darling! Looked just like Russel does now. I didn't watch too much, but the kind of gifts they got then was WAYYY different than the ones they received this past year. There was some passiveness from Shari when Ruby was asking her about the new baby..and how she wanted the baby to have a normal name..unlike hers. IDk it's interesting to see the difference 4 years makes
This is from the exposed video that shows them going to chic-fil-a and I'm sorry but there is no way they've changed their views on gay marriage and are still Mormon.

Your right she really doesnt understand ages and what children should and should not being doing at their age. Abbie is like what 10ish? Nearly a woman Ruby...are you kidding me? What she's talking about from being a girl to woman I would say is more in the teens like around 16 and still then you are turning into a YOUNG woman. Shari is not a young woman either and frankly is getting a bit to big for her boots and ahead of herself. This is probably not her own doing but more Ruby pushing her to be mature. It really is sad. She acts like a little woman and it's odd. I know she's the oldest and the oldest tend to act more mature but this goes beyond that. Ruby let your children be children, and please let Shari have her own room. She does not need to be guiding Abbie into "womanhood" this young. Julie clearly needs Abbie and you took it away. We all know you want your daughters to be like you and your sisters growing up, but they are different people and what worked for you does not work for your daughters. And the crap about it being good for Julie and Evie is well crap...you look after evie she is your daughter not Julie responsability. The less you take notice of Julie the more it's going to turn around back on you when she's older.

That's what my mom did for me when I was a kid and sick. I'd spend the day on the couch, and then she'd typically have me sleep with her at night. To me it, was a nice comforting thing and to her, it was less work to wake me up at night to give me more medicine, and no need to check in on me if I'm right next to her. Kids should be comforted when they're sick or hurt.
A lot of people on here have said that ruby is now making her kids put on a show for the camera, scripted etc. If you watch the video "chad Hates sharis boyfriend" at the end When all the kids are playing Lego she goes over to Abbie and says look at me and smile, look at me and smile. It's funny but I think everyone's right she trying to show us a "happy perfect" family by setting up scenes. If only she would get that nobody wants to see that they want to see reality.
It looks like they are working with JHouse on a campaign, maybe publicity for some games, toys? https://www.instagram.com/inhouseteam/
Quite risky to include them with their homophobic point of view.

All quiet on set...until fun arrives in the form of @jhousevlogs and @8passengers! Gearing up for an ultimate Hasbro Family Face Off #LetTheGamesBegin
Okay, is Russell back in diapers? The other day in the vlog there were diapers in the closet, someone in the comments on that vlog said that he was wearing a diaper in the "this isn't fun anymore vlog" and it looked like he was. And today's vlog around the 30 sec mark, you can sort of see what looks like to me a blue diaper top. Maybe I'm imagining it. But, he's what 6? Why does he seem so far behind to me?
He's 6? Wow i thought he was 4. It's actually pretty common for kids to need to wear pullups to BED sometimes up until 13! But i dont know why he would be wearing it during the day. Seems odd.
Russell is 5 and won't be 6 until next July. He may have developmental delays but I hadn't noticed them as being severe. I think Ruby makes what is probably a minor situation a big deal for him. Eve is 3 and still in pull ups because they never followed through with the potty training. They started this way back last summer with her but never committed.
He's definitely in pull ups/diapers in the "this isn't fun anymore" video. The only "delay" these kids have is their mother being in over her head with too many kids. Good grief...in today's vlog Abby tells her she has a hard time sleeping and Ruby seemed shocked. Abby said "I have tried to tell you but you don't listen" so Ruby said I'm listening now...strong work Ruby! In today's blog Ruby said her goal for 2017 was for her home to be calmer so they go ahead and have a wet rag war snapping each other with it. Ummm....ok.
I forgot to add she said she is going to up her game with dinner and then serves a one pot meal (soup) AGAIN in tiny bowls. There's nothing wrong with one pot meals but it has to get old to not have any variety. Do these women not know how to make a whole meal....main dish, side salad maybe, some fruit or rice? Bonnie cooks the same way. I don't know how the others are because I don't watch them. Even with breakfast it's either a bowl of bland something or a pancake....no eggs, no fruit, no yogurt.
