Re: Gardner Quad Squad: A Miracle Unraveling | Part 7
Not sure how that 'Appliance Bar' in their new house is going to be involved with her recipes. I have laughed out loud each time she has said Appliance Bar...
I felt bad today when she said she doesn't like herself.. oh no wait, I wrote that wrong.. She stated how much she doesn't like clowns...Doesn't she have a mirror?
She really needs to wake up to what matters. Their children are not very likeable lately, well actually for quite a while, yes the parents fault. What a shame.. I have a feeling they sense this because it's seems lately they are posting old vlogs/blogs when the girls were young as a reminder why everyone loved them.. Grasping at straws as far as I am concerned.. And we all know what happened to the pig that built it's house out of a straw. [/quote]
Speaking of the fabulous appliance bar, will she have to take any appliance that may be used into the kitchen to clean them? And, how about that countertop?

I don't think she will need to worry about cleaning them, you have to use them in order for them to get dirty! The help may need to dust the cobwebs off now & then though LOL

This has been asked been asked several times. No---this is not normal Mormon behavior. They are not normal Mormons.

I don't ask this to disrespect Mormons, but is this "normal" behavior?
Is this how people behave and raise their children in this particular religion?
If I go with the theory that this is all that T$A know, then what is wrong with their parents? And does this mean all their siblings behave this way? And their siblings will be raising their children this way?
Does the church encourage this type of behavior to get more financial contributions?
The selfishness, disregard for others, vindictive behavior to anyone that questions them, and complete lack of empathy for anybody (most especially their own children) are so completely alien to me.
Again, just questions. The vlogs have made me so sad, lately. Those poor girls.
So much potential - wasted.

thought it might, the McClure "fans" would want to go watch the FF, I don't think so. I can hear Scare Crow whining/crying Why don't we have
that many followers?? They only have 2 and we have FOUR! She will never understand, pathetic..
Curious how many of those boots they purchased we will be seeing in the future.. They made sure to say the sizes several times, so I suspect
some shoes in the mail will be arriving soon? If any are to their liking, I see boot returns happening. I am going on "Foot Patrol"
Those girls have a hard enough time running as it is... boots really? Maybe there is a method to their madness. Boots are hard to run in, so it
would be more of a struggle for the girls, more energy needed SO that will aid in the everyday plan of Getting their energy out..clever...
I agree, I went and watched a couple of their vlogs and didn't get the attraction/numbers they are receiving. The mother and the girls seemed nice enough but did not like the father,,, something about him.
Re: Gardner Quad Squad: A Miracle Unraveling | Part 7
Bison and Trashley are simply terrible people and shitty parents. That has absolutely nothing to do with their religion.
Re: Gardner Quad Squad: A Miracle Unraveling | Part 7
OMG. I agree with all of you why did they need to buy each child 3 pair of fake leather, all BROWN, poorly constructed boots? Each set of boots was $29.95 X 4 X 3 + $17.00 sales tax = $375 on BROWN colored cheap boots. (I looked up the prices on the Children's Place) These boots aren't made for running and playing - they are awkward and stiff.
Ashley was looking for MORE clothes again and this made me wonder about the amount of money she spends on outfitting the girls. We rarely see the girls wear the same outfit twice, right? She loves to doll them all up in sweaters or little jackets, leggings, tops and matching shoes. How much does that all (pajamas, socks, hair bows, hats, shoes, sweaters, leggings, coats) cost? Wouldn't you guess about $40 a day per girl? So, $40 X 4 = $160 a day X 30 days in a month = approximately $4,800.00 a MONTH on children's clothing?
And, Tyson puts on a good show grabbing $10 jeans like they can't afford clothing? Does Tyson have any idea how much Ashley spends?
Then they eat out/have take out at least 2X a day, right? Let's guess meals for 6 (with tax, drinks, desserts, tips) is an average of $40 X 2 = $80 a day X 30 days in a month = approximately $2,400.00 a MONTH on eating out? Don't forget the doughnut and soda runs. They can't buy soda and drink it at home - they have to go get big servings and pay the extra cost.
A cleaning lady 3 X a week (isn't that what they said)? That's a big house, but let's guess she charges them $70 a time X 3 times a week X 4 weeks in a month = approximately $840.00 a MONTH on housecleaning?
All the above guesses adds up to: approximately $8,000.00 MONTH?
So even if the guesses are off a few thousand give/take, that's a lot of expendable income.That $8,000.00 a month guesstimate also doesn't include their mortgage/rent, travel expenses, medical/dental insurance expenses, putting away 30 - 40% for self employment taxes, utilities, car insurance, gas, retirement saving, college savings, tithing 10% to the church, groceries, date nights, babysitting expenses, employee wages/employee medical insurance, adult clothing/shoes, entertainment, spa treatments etc.
Isn't there anything left over for some nice dance classes, sports, music, art classes, anything that helps the girls development and growth? Shoot! These girls deserve parents with the right priorities that safeguard their future.

Re: Gardner Quad Squad: A Miracle Unraveling | Part 7
You know, I don't know how much $$$ fame, and attention would be worth all the negative feedback they get. It would break my HEART to read these comments and the ones they get everywhere about my kids and my husband. I would gomi yesterday. I would live a normal life like I do now to not have thousands (millions?) Of ppl bad mouthing my kids and husband.
Why don't they? It's mind boggling. No amount of money is worth it. No attention is worth it. I love my kids that much.

Re: Gardner Quad Squad: A Miracle Unraveling | Part 7
Sometimes I wonder if the people who comment on the Greedner's YT channel are either blind, drunk, high, or all three.
Two of the comments from today made me go !
Someone actually said "Tyson has lost a lot of weight." (From where? His testicles? They must look like prune pits by now!)
And someone else said "Tyson is such a good father. I want to marry someone just like him some day".
I think we need to stage an intervention for some of these people. We'll need a cult specialist and a de-programmer.
Most of them probably won't come willingly.
Seriously though, watching this trainwreck is starting to get tiresome for me. I dread opening YouTube every day and seeing what the FF and their moronic parents are up to. Nothing ever changes. I can only hope that at some point it will all come crashing down around them and we can finally proclaim "WE TOLD YOU SO!". Perhaps I need my own intervention?

Re: Gardner Quad Squad: A Miracle Unraveling | Part 7
Someone in the YT comments from yesterday asked how come the girls never do any age appropriate activities like dance or art class, and GQS answered "keep watching and your wish will come true". I wonder what that means? That they are actually going to let the quads do something other than shopping and eating out? I'll believe it when I see it!Jane wrote:OMG.

Here's the actual exchange:
Poster: How come the girls are never taken to do structured activities like dance or art classes? It seems like their day consists mostly of eating and shopping. You guys must spend a fortune each week with all of the take out and restaurant trips you do! Maybe instead you could start showing them how to prepare food at home? My kids always loved helping me in the kitchen, and even the littlest ones can do simple tasks that make them feel useful and teach them about healthy eating.
GQS: stay tuned and you wish will come true!
(Nice spelling idiot!)
Re: Gardner Quad Squad: A Miracle Unraveling | Part 7
No, it's absolutely not normal for Mormons. It goes completely against the Word of Wisdom. We're instructed to avoid sugar, not give in to gluttony, moderation in all things. We're also instructed to live within our means, live modestly, serve others. You know, all the things the Greedner$ don't do.snarksite wrote:I agree with this but don't understand it.Harkette wrote: I don't think they know how to feed the girls a proper diet, what activities are appreciate for kids their age, why and how they are delayed, etc.

Re: Gardner Quad Squad: A Miracle Unraveling | Part 7
I have trouble believing they don't know they need to feed their children plants other than potatoes and highly processed grains in the form of donuts or cereal.
They also can't play dumb when it comes to the girls needing mental stimulation etc.
If those things were true BUT they actually cared they'd seek help. Hell this could be a whole video series learning to add more veggies into the diet. Cooking with the girls. Different activities like baby yoga or library trips...they could totally spin it into views if they cared to do it.

I am so surprised the comment was left and there was a response from them. Being that they only hear the last word(s) of a sentence/paragraph like they have taught/accepted that their children do.. The only thing I can think of that the "durls" are going to "help" in the kitchen 'agin' Remember that one time? Might be the famous Pork & Rice? Who knows what they have up their sleeves.. or should I say "skeeves" Can't wait...

Nice crunching of the numbers.. Holy Cow! Those poor girls with these new crap boots to run around in this fall, nice going taking care of your kids.. I think it's time for the extended family to step in....Something needs to give.. This has become such a sad story... I thought there might have been hope,, not so sure now..

Has anyone noticed a trend of Gardners creeping in the background of photos? First Trashley then Tubby, now Evie.

Re: Gardner Quad Squad: A Miracle Unraveling | Part 7
The mental gymnastics the people in the comments do for them. You don't have quads you don't understand....because nobody who has several kids or several small kids can understand AT ALL because they didn't have them at once.

Probably be waiting as long for this as for the swimming lessons the girls were going to startStellaboo wrote:Someone in the YT comments from yesterday asked how come the girls never do any age appropriate activities like dance or art class, and GQS answered "keep watching and your wish will come true". I wonder what that means? That they are actually going to let the quads do something other than shopping and eating out? I'll believe it when I see it!Jane wrote:OMG. I agree with all of you why did they need to buy each child 3 pair of fake leather, all BROWN, poorly constructed boots? Each set of boots was $29.95 X 4 X 3 + $17.00 sales tax = $375 on BROWN colored cheap boots. (I looked up the prices on the Children's Place) These boots aren't made for running and playing - they are awkward and stiff.
Ashley was looking for MORE clothes again and this made me wonder about the amount of money she spends on outfitting the girls. We rarely see the girls wear the same outfit twice, right? She loves to doll them all up in sweaters or little jackets, leggings, tops and matching shoes. How much does that all (pajamas, socks, hair bows, hats, shoes, sweaters, leggings, coats) cost? Wouldn't you guess about $40 a day per girl? So, $40 X 4 = $160 a day X 30 days in a month = approximately $4,800.00 a MONTH on children's clothing?
And, Tyson puts on a good show grabbing $10 jeans like they can't afford clothing? Does Tyson have any idea how much Ashley spends?
Then they eat out/have take out at least 2X a day, right? Let's guess meals for 6 (with tax, drinks, desserts, tips) is an average of $40 X 2 = $80 a day X 30 days in a month = approximately $2,400.00 a MONTH on eating out? Don't forget the doughnut and soda runs. They can't buy soda and drink it at home - they have to go get big servings and pay the extra cost.
A cleaning lady 3 X a week (isn't that what they said)? That's a big house, but let's guess she charges them $70 a time X 3 times a week X 4 weeks in a month = approximately $840.00 a MONTH on housecleaning?
All the above guesses adds up to: approximately $8,000.00 MONTH?
So even if the guesses are off a few thousand give/take, that's a lot of expendable income.That $8,000.00 a month guesstimate also doesn't include their mortgage/rent, travel expenses, medical/dental insurance expenses, putting away 30 - 40% for self employment taxes, utilities, car insurance, gas, retirement saving, college savings, tithing 10% to the church, groceries, date nights, babysitting expenses, employee wages/employee medical insurance, adult clothing/shoes, entertainment, spa treatments etc.
Isn't there anything left over for some nice dance classes, sports, music, art classes, anything that helps the girls development and growth? Shoot! These girls deserve parents with the right priorities that safeguard their future.
Here's the actual exchange:
Poster: How come the girls are never taken to do structured activities like dance or art classes? It seems like their day consists mostly of eating and shopping. You guys must spend a fortune each week with all of the take out and restaurant trips you do! Maybe instead you could start showing them how to prepare food at home? My kids always loved helping me in the kitchen, and even the littlest ones can do simple tasks that make them feel useful and teach them about healthy eating.
GQS: stay tuned and you wish will come true!
(Nice spelling idiot!)
