Gardner Quad Squad: Durls, Dollars and Donits | Part 3

[Krouton]

Knowing that so many (just me) needed to know how many "O" faces actually we're vlogged yesterday, I watched the rest of the vlog! Total = 10. ASSwit 6, TyASS 3, TLC person 1.
Madison seems to be 1 on 1 behavior aide for Evie most of this trip. Guess she's qualified; I think it's what she does for a living.
If the Greedners learn nothing else about their children from this experience, I hope it opens their eyes to what an insufferable brat Evie is whenever she doesn't get her way!!! I'm sorry; I love kids, and was a teacher all my adult life. That child needs boundaries enforced!!!!
Never my favorite before, Indie is just the sweetest little girl!
Someone said earlier they never liked Esme. I used to completely feel that way! Not sure anymore how I feel about her.
Scarlett is talking lots more!! I wonder if she actually does get speech therapy now. Quite a drastic improvement recently! She actually speaks in several word sentences, and also expresses complete thoughts! "Swim all day", "I am swinging" "I saw a monkey". I think the parents listen to her speech more, too. I'm so happy for her!!
(Interesting she learned to say "I"; completely skipped the "me" stage, and the "Scarlett" stage in talking about herself.
I think she's getting speech therapy....

I also believe she is receiving speech therapy, but listen to Scarlett, not Ashley's translation. She said ' no, like it ' actually it was more 'no, la da' and then 'shimming again' not all day. She has said her version of again several times and that is what she said.

Oh my God, I cannot stand these people.

I know a lot of people don't like the "Small World" ride music but for God's sake, it's sooooo much better than A's squealing like a stuck pig. And who lets their kids stand up on a ride? What is wrong with these people?

I cannot stand the "o" faces anymore.
They both make my skin crawl.
Just stop.

I am hoping that Indie(?) didn't want to ride the carousel horse by herself. Because bigA had to be the only one sitting up on a horse. Couldn't possible let her girls have ALL the attention. Had to hog some for herself.

And maybe it's just me, but I cannot imagine letting my kids hang and pull on curtains like the girls are doing in the hotel room. Once again, a total disregard for anything but themselves. Easier to let them destroy property than to actually tell them to settle down. Whatever is easiest.

Even if they can't admit it, I hope T$A are actually following through on some of the suggestions and looking into therapies.
As long as the girls are getting help-whatever it takes.

Something has clicked that's for sure. If NOTHING ELSE comes from "haters" talking about her speech delay, at least I pray they are paying more attention to their speaking as you said. Stop and listen. Respond appropriately. Etc.

And someone here did mention that Tyson seems to be communicating more with them. I agree. And I have heard them both asking more questions and such. All we can do is hope.

Not that these people ever do anything the way I would expect, but if it were my family I wouldn't have put out medical details or therapy info either. So, if they are and are choosing not to broadcast that, I think it's totally acceptable. Just my opinion.

I've thought about the blank looks and sometimes I think the girls are just tired. They never seem to have any down time and when they do it is running through the house at a break neck speed. Think about the last few weeks. Not only have they done things all morning but also all evening. And all that damn running out their energy without eating a healthy diet. When my kids were small we had a lot of down time and when we went to the park it was a real treat. We had a nice swing set but there were times we would go to the park We had time spent at home playing with their own toys. We did not feel like we had to take them somewhere every single day. These people go more than anyone I know there is no way in hell they could hold down a regular 40 hour a week job it could cut into them running here and there. This week I can understand it is sort of like a vacation but these people will get home that morning and be back on the road going somewhere that night. So getting back to the blank looks these girls are still little and still need to rest. They do not know how to sit and color or play with dolls or stickers without it turning into a big cluster F__K
The girls do not know how to just sit quietly and play. I blame the mommy monster lol

Agree 110 percent! Way too much commotion.

On one of their Instagram stories they mention the things they saw at Disney and what was next on the list. At the end of the list was the stuff for the quads. Why wouldn't you start with what your kids would be most interested in and that is best suited for them first? My guess is they were hoping the girls would need a nap by then and they could skip it. They're so selfish.

[Merikat]

Sneaky_snarky, I completely agree! I don't care if they tell fans what therapies they are getting, I just want the girl's situation to improve!!

I also agree with SnarkyLady that sometimes the girls are just tired . We all know that an inordinate amount of time is spent "running the girls energy out" instead of stimulating their brains and learning

And I hate the way they make them climb out of pools! Their little knees and arms must get so tired! I think, although it is an important skill to learn, making them do it so often is kind of cruel. At least help by pushing their bottoms up to help them get some traction!

I can't see any of the instagram pics. The last one I see is Asley with wet hair, sitting on carpet dancing with Scarlett/Evie. Where are you seeing the Disney photos?

On IG clips which you tap on their profile pic and the clips will automatically play.

Tap the picture button on the top left. Not sure what to call it. It should have a circle moving around it.

Tysons attitude towards speech therapy when watching the first episode of rattled recently makes me think he would never take them
I hope they are and they don't have to disclose any of it .
I had a son in speech therapy for a long and they just don't do the activities that they would be if they were having therapy

I haven't had much time to catch up on Rattled but my mother (who has never watched the GQS' vlogs but can't resist a TLC show) has been watching it. She made the same observations that have been posted in this thread.

Though, she has taken to calling Tyson, "Dyson". She doesn't pay much attention to the subtitles.

"Dyson seems like an idiot but what do you expect for someone named after a sweeper?" I haven't corrected her yet for my own amusement.

Perhaps I should send her over here?

I am laughing so hard at your mother's comment!

I agree with a previous poster, if you think of them as being 18 months and younger, they are right on track. Unless they catch up to their peers quickly, they will sit out kindergarten, held back maybe 1 or 2 years. Nothing wrong with that, I just hope they get them some help in the intervening 2 years. 2 extra years of vlogging their crazy antics.

The poor girls can't even go to Disneyland unless they are dressed up like damn dolls. WTF? Tyrant and Assface are both wearing shorts, old t-shirts, and sneakers - and then there are the quads in fancy dresses (with a Minnie Mouse design of course) and those uncomfortable looking giant sandals! Oh, and matching Minnie sunglasses.

For fuck's sake just let them wear something comfortable for a change! Put them in shorts, t-shirts, and sneakers and let them run around getting dirty and sweaty - like every other kid in America! They must always feel so restricted in the outfits she chooses and those ridiculous hairstyles. It's SO unnecessary! Although I realize if the girls weren't matching they might not get the same amount of attention. Because that's what it's all about right? Who cares if the kids are having fun as long a Dumb and Dumber are getting plenty of good footage?

On Snapchat there's a video of the girls standing during the Small World boat ride (among other things). It looks like Indie is standing on the floor of the boat, but Scarlett is standing on the seat. What the hell is wrong with these people? It would be awesome if Tyrant fell in and got run over wouldn't it? He would probably get stuck and back up the ride for days.

As for Scarlett, I highly doubt they have her in speech therapy. In fact I would be shocked if they bothered to do anything that doesn't benefit them financially or that inconveniences them in some way. My opinion is that she's learning in spite of them. Although it was Evie who did most of the talking in the pool - she was the one saying "I like it" and "swimming all day" or whatever she actually said. Scarlett is probably hearing her sister talk more and imitating it. I'm still concerned about how blank she looks most of the time though.

Someone mentioned T&A making the girls climb out of the pool. Every.single.time they film a kid doing it one of them mentions how it's "getting the girls' energy out". Yeah, because that's why you teach your kid to do that - never mind safety issues or anything as long as the girls don't have enough energy left to act out. Oh, and did you see that Indie's and Esme's bathing suit bottoms kept falling off? Ashley even told us that poor Indie's clothes are always too big. Well then buy her the right size you giant toolbag! Why is that such a difficult concept for them? Tons of people the world over who have 4 kids of different ages manage to do it, but apparently that's way too complicated for someone with shit for brains and 2 sets of different sized quads.

I would hate to be the person who had to clean those hotel rooms after they leave. I can only imagine how many filthy diapers they leave lying around. In yesterday's vlog Scarlett was hanging off of the TV and "swinging" while Assface screeched her encouragement, so I guess that's probably broken now too. I would love to ask T&A how they define personal responsibility and see what their reaction is. They'd probably be stumped and have to look up the term. How nice it must be to think the world revolves around you!

[Beauregard1]

If you watch her very early attempts at blogging, she writes about visiting Denver/Devon in Las Vegas and how all they really like to do is sit on the couch and do nothing. Some things haven't changed..

[Caisflame]

I'm sure this is old news to everyone but I'm new to these people. I just realized Ashley has a private Instagram. Wonder what she's hiding. How strange.

My cousin has been visiting my house for the last few days - they have 13 children, and brought the youngest two with them. Their little girl is about 6 months younger than the durls and the difference between her behaviour and theirs is so striking. She kept trying to tell me about her dog at home and about the movie she was watching and it was so adorable. I talked a little about various milestones like toilet training and toddler beds - my cousin said she starts toilet training between 18 and 24 months depending on the child, and moves them into toddler beds as soon as they start trying to climb out of their crib. When I said that I followed a family with two and a half year old quadruplets who hadn't done any of those things yet she was horrified, especially when I said the reason they don't do those things was because the parents spend most of their time on their phones.

I really do feel sorry for the quads. Every child deserves the best possible start in life, and it's not their fault they're suffering because the parents can't see beyond themselves.

[Snarky Lady]

I also would be shocked or very surprised if ANY of the girls were getting any type of therapy. For one thing when would they have time? She is talking better or trying to anyway maybe at all those family functions in the last couple of weeks people have actually talked to her.
Am I the only one wondering (knowing CRAP) why she dressed the girls like they were going to a photo shoot at Disney yet on national tv they were DRESSED DOWN? I don't get them. I HATE their O faces!!!!! Did I mention I hate those stupid O faces????? I cannot believe they let the girls stand on a ride even a lame one!!! One more example of why the girls do not have a chance of growing up to be responsible caring adults! They don't follow the rules at 2 and won't at 22, 45 or 65. The v'log will be interesting

We totally need your mom here!!!! Dyson totally works with the way he sucks up that huge ass soda not leaving a drop behind.

She said along time ago that she kept her IG private because she just needed to keep somethings to herself. My guess is she didn't want the "hate" there too.
