Bethany Mota was on, so they do use YouTube "stars". The show never really has been "Dancing With the Stars". More like "Dancing With the Has Beens and Wannabes".
Whoever was talking about Bryan calling the boys "bro" and "dude" and "buddy" all the time-- can you imagine when Ollie is in high school, if he actually has some friends, bringing them home and having Bryan come in in his hipster clothes calling everyone "bruh"? "Hey, bro, did you play my CD for your friends? I'll sign a copy for them!" Any friends Ollie manages to make will run!

I forgot about her, I agree about it being "has beens"
Ollie in high school is going to be interesting, he is either going to think Bryan is cool or think he is a complete joke (I hope that it's the latter)

I could see Jim and Suzanne's religious background causing problems with a woman who had a bastard son. Then that son came to take away their daughter, who they had practically _just allowed_ to start wearing pants. They let Bryan move in, and they (and Missy by extension) "saved" him from his family.
What if they thought Nancy had poor moral character, and Bryan fed into that with stories of an alcoholic boyfriend? He had to sell it if he was going to move in with them! Maybe it was true, and maybe it wasn't, but it allowed him to get what he wanted. Maybe Jim and Suzanne have resented Nancy since then, and refused to be around her. Since they don't come around when Nancy is there, Missy gets pissy because she can't spend every waking moment with her parents!

Well, if that's the case it would make them a very poor example of "Christian" now wouldn't it? I don't know what the deal is between Pissy and Bryan's relatives. And at this point I don't care. We will never know the truth because B&M both lie to suit their needs. Nancy always comes off as more than affectionate with Bryan and the boys and also friendly towards Miss Pissy Pants. Nancy is an adult. I'm sure she knows what's up and as an ADULT puts her best foot forward. Pissy needs to grow up. Parents make mistakes, they make poor choices, they are HUMAN. And none of us on this board are without fault, have not made a poor choice, have not hurt someone we love. It's life. It happens. And please no "my husband's parent did XYZ and I couldn't forgive them". That's you. My post was about Pissy and Nancy
That is really interesting. I never realized that Nancy and the Hollisters are never together, except for Bryan's EP release party. Suzanne has said that she didn't like Missy going out with Bryan at first because he wasn't a Christian. That is so judgmental! I'm a practicing Christian and I can't imagine thinking like that. I'm sure Suzanne and Missy judge the hell out of Nancy. My opinion- the Hollisters need to sweep their own front porch first.

*sigh*....okay, honestly, there have been a few nights where we've let our young children stay up later than usual because we're enjoying each other's company. There's nothing wrong with that. "All night"? No, but letting your kids stay up late isn't a bad thing if it's just once in a while. At least he wouldn't be staying up late falling asleep by himself in the playroom with the tv blazing. If you're going to spend time together...that's a good thing. Do it.
I don't know if he's probing for reassurance or acknowledgement of his good parenting, but just live in that moment, let it be a moment, not shared with the world.

Spot on. And all those times they put him in the playroom to watch a movie so they can do what they want-- I side eye that a lot more than one night where he actually wants to "hang out".
BTW-- it's raining. Cue lots of ",OMG! Look at that rain come down!" statements.
I am all for being friends with your kids, but Bryan desperately trying to have Ollie be his little buddy, instead of his child, is going to blow up in his face. He has to be a parent first and foremost, not letting him "hang out" all night.
Bryan didn't have a strong male figure growing up so he doesnt know how to be a dad and feels like being a dad is the fun job where you can be the kids best friend and have the wife do the hard work. He believes in those stereotypical roles and often makes comments to missy about " bare feet pregnant and in the kitchen" he honestly feels like it's not his responsibility to discipline. He said in the article that he wrote about deadbeat dad that he was very insecure about his children not liking him and this is probably how he copes. ( not agreeing or siding with him, I think its terrible) I'm just stating maybe there's a reason behind the dude and bro thing. I think missy is lazy and makes her parents do a lot but she does a lot more for those kids in terms of a parenting role. She may not make the best decisions but how hard is it to edit a video a night and then call it your full time job?
Of course you want your children to like you, but they need to know they're not in charge. And even if you discipline them and they _say_ "I hate you!" They don't, really. They get over being mad pretty quickly, just like we do. But it's really scary for them to know that there aren't limits. He's really doing himself and Ollie a disservice. Just like Missy's parents are, by picking up the slack and not letting them do things on their own. When they pass away, or even get to old to help out much, those guys are going to be screwed.
Damn, Ollie is quickly approaching four, and he still doesn't know his colors? "What coden dis one?" Missy had to tell him it was pink. Why do the Lumps not realize he's behind? Please let the boy go to preschool so that he'll be around adults who actually teach him!
Oh yeah Ollie can tell you about toys but you can hardly understand him. Kids aren't going to read captions either. So they'd do best to just video montage and put music to it like every other thing they do.
I wish the fact that Missy was riding rides could convince me she's not pregnant, but it doesn't. She rode a very aggressive coaster at Universal Orlando (I've ridden it myself - it's not tame) when she thought she was pregnant with Finn. I'm also pretty sure that pregnancy test with E+J was a set up, and she already knew she was pregnant with Finn at that point. In any case, the rides she rode today weren't that aggressive, and she probably thought it was OK to go on them. Plus, she was very self conscious today about her belly. When she noticed Bryan was filming, she was sure to put her hand in her sweatshirt pocket, or put her hands in front of her.
I've been watching Drake Bells Disneyland vlog and he is so nice and personable with his fans. And films them in his vlogs. Doesn't seem like it would be that way with the Lannings. Do they meet or vlog fans anywhere other than organized meetups? Because I know when they were just starting out and they saw a fan they'd at least show it in the vlog. So either A.) They don't see fans outside of meetups or B.) They're too ass holier-than-thou to give any recognition to them.
