Chloe and Beans: Long Hair, DO Care! - Part 4

[DoodleBop]

I wonder if Ro would get less comments if he didn't always look exhausted and overwhelmed.

They seemed so much happier before Chloe decided to turn social media into a career.

[Aboogabooga]

They looked a lot happier even when the trips were just babies. Perhaps all the YouTube money went to their heads, since they didn't seem to be swimming in it before on Ros baker salary. Or it could be ppd that just set in a little bit later. Idk but I agree that before they just looked like a simple family trying their best and now they're fucking intolerable. So many questions.

this was back when their ig comment sectiok was "full" of 5 comments only written by family members and people they know, not from complete strangers from the other side of the world worshipping them like cult. Such an unhealthy way to raise children.

[julietpreston]

I agree with everyone above, what an unhealthy way to raise a family. The kids have been pushed down in Chloes priorities, under looking good for the army of strangers on the internet. Everyone was so much happier when they weren't trying so hard. Chloe likes to say her kids are #wildandfree but they were more so when they were just normal carefree kids. Now they have the pressures of the youtube channel (aka their parents income) on their shoulders. They have to constantly put on an act for the camera. And Chloe is less happy because she's so preoccupied trying to portray this carefree vegan hippie, and in some ways is doing the exact opposite.

[DoodleBop]

The amount of toys, educational or not, all the packaged food, vegan or not, six kids x 2-3 years each of disposable diapers...all the gas for the huge van they seem to go in daily....I doubt 1 person and a cat have a larger foot print.

Honestly I'm not too worried about "overpopulation" and I don't see why she has to focus on those types of comments. If she wasn't an idealistic 18 year old when she started I'd almost think she hadn't realized not everyone was going to be as supportive of her lifestyle. This leads me to believe her beliefs aren't as secure as she wants everyone to think. Which goes along with my idea she thinks if she does Z + Q + F + vegan etc etc = good parent. Many people who falling into methods like attachment parenting, for example, seem to lose themselves in rule following and miss the whole point of it which was to be more connected to the kids. Then it becomes about being more hardcore about following the rules more right....then they burn out.

I'm just popping in to say I got such major shit when a thread was first created for Chloe for not supporting the fact she chose to pop out 20 kids in a row while having no other real life goals, and now I see most of you are actually sane and not minions. I haven't even checked this thread in months because it would make me so mad lol.

I only found this thread recently.

I used to like them. I mean I still like the children because they're kids and have no control over what mom and dad do. Either Chloe completely changed in the past year or her true self is coming out on the vlogs. I used to watch their videos with my kids and found them relaxing and hey a youtube family I could actually watch with my kids awake. Not anymore.


I also don't understand the rental situation there but in the comments people are like they're so smug but they get that house because of the number of kids they have. It led me to believe it was some sort of rental assistance.

I don't know if there is some kind of rental assistance but people can also mean it as "you were only able to pay the rent for that house because you're on youtube" and we all know the only reason peopme watch them on yt is the kids because who would want to watch a doormat and child woman girlfriend doing nothing all day. So basically it's the kids' money.
Also she always says they were financially stable and able to afford their lifestyle only on Ro's salary but this is not true. All they could afford was a tiny unit is Tasmania where it's a lot cheaper than WA. Yes they were living in a tiny ass UNIT with a toddler and a baby and they somehow decided it was a good idea to have a 3rd child. Then they moved to a bigger rental appatment (which was still tiny for 2 adults and 3 kids), then they moved to Perth in their current rental.
So there's no way they could have afford their lifestyle with 8 people only on Ro's salary. I don't know what they were thinking.

[DoodleBop]

Very interesting. I wonder if this is part of why she's so defensive.

[spoiled2bits]

I kinda wondering if Chloe didn't attempt their hair at home and wimp out of cutting it off halfway thru. So she was like OH BOYSSS wouldnt it be sooo fun if we just left it like this?? And since she has no idea how to actually cut hair, it looks horrid. Trying to give all hair dressers the benefit of the doubt here lol. I guess we will find out if there's a video.

There is z vid of the haircut

I wonder if the banana industry is sponsoring youtubers...first multiple banana based posts from one youtube mom and now 2 in one day from another. Both seem to be around OMG big family eats so much...all these bananas....

[ShudnaB3]

While I do think she's changed for the worse and they look more normal/happy in their old Instagram pics, let's not forget that before the triplet pregnancy nudged them into the spotlight Chloe had already been on the internet as a Tumblr mum and isn't unaware of how to craft her image/appeal to whatever niche she's wanting in with. I'll go and grab the archive links from an earlier thread where someone shared it. It's nothing "scandalous" but to me it's sad because it shows their whole lives as directed by obsession, compulsion, and immaturity. The number of kids, the way they look, being overwhelmed with the babies she has but never wavering from THE PLAN of more...it's quite sad. Here are some quotes:

Our savings are still pretty dismal though. We have saved about $800 and our goal is $7000 before we move early next year.
We could save faster but unexpected costs keep popping up!
Also Ro and I need to go to the dentist soon and that’s a big cost because we both suspect we need some fillings.
I don’t even know though, I haven’t been to the dentist since I was probably like 12. Is that really bad???
The boys haven’t been yet either but I’m not really sure when that’s necessary.
It stresses me out. I don’t like dentists.
Speaking of things that we need to do, Felix needs an ultrasound on his hips.
He has an extra leg crease (so did Otto) and they want to check to make sure everything is okay.
Oh and then there’s Evan’s hernia surgery.. I guess he will need it in about 6 months. I’ve started feeling terrified about it. I know it’s so minor but it still scares me.
What scares me most is knowing that he will be frightened and confused about it all. My baby! I’m definitely dreading it.

this was pre triplet/planned fourth kid conception. So I think it's safe to say that, no, they don't get dental care, at least not often. And Evan never did get that hernia surgery. Instead he got filmed on YouTube with Chloe crooning about how it was his choice if he wanted his beeeautiful belly button changed.

For the past week we have been selling lots of stuff on Facebook pages.
The reason for this is just because I hate owning too many things.
In the past I’ve bought too much stuff on impulse and I hate it.
I look at all this crap and we don’t need it.

Still impulse buying. Now just stashing it in Stuva.

Originally we wanted to wait a little while and leave a bigger gap but we don’t really do “waiting” very well, do we? Hahaha
We are going to start trying next cycle!! And for anybody wondering; yes, we will be "trying for a girl!"
Ro wanted to “sway” for a girl when we conceived Otto and Felix and I said no because I wanted to leave it up to the universe to decide whether we would get a son or a daughter, but now after having THREE beautiful little boys, we would really love a daughter to complete our little crew.
We have researched it through and through (I’ll get more into detail on the specifics of the sway later) and we will obviously be crossing our fingers that it works, but it doesn’t mean we’ll love another precious boy any less.

Keep in mind she had earlier written about how her third child, born a couple months prior, had really increased the work, also keep in mind she has written about thinking her period was coming back but it still hadnt. Yet, the babymaking plans must go on!

- Hopefully my little brother isn’t a little shit while we are there. We went to mums tonight and cooked them dinner and my brother is soooo.. ugh.
He jammed Evan’s finger in the door and yes it was an accident but Evan was so upset and my brother told him he had to “stop crying and be strong”. No no no.
My baby can cry and feel his feelings you ignorant fool.

On topic of her mother renting a beach house for all of them to have a holiday. I mean, I'd probably yell at a sibling for that at the time. It just seems extra mean to post about it, her brother was quite young himself...I'm sure she'll be VERY understanding and respectful if Evan calls Otto an ignorant fool and a little shit one day.

But Felix. He makes me never want another baby again. That sounds so harsh, and I love him to pieces but he’s just not a lot of fun.

Nothing terrible, but contrasted with her horrible reaction to anyone saying less than effusive praise about her kids...

There's too much to quote from her time in hospital with pancreatitis, which derailed their babymaking. It's weird. She flips from writing like she's going to die to discharging herself early because they "keep starving her all day" and haven't gotten to surgery. And the whole debacle and eventual gallbladder surgery is all wrapped up in fretting about trying to conceive...

And when she did get pregnant

I don’t want to tell my mum about the pregnancy until we are just about to leave, because I don’t want her judgements for the whole time we are living with her. She has already voiced her opinion on a potential fourth baby and it was that we shouldn’t have any more because we are lucky to have three healthy babies and we won’t be so lucky a fourth time. Okie dokie, all-knowing one.

So charming. I'm so curious about her family though...how did they all end up in WA? Did her mum move specifically to help out...? Also, in that tumblr she mentions Ro's mum helping out sometimes which made me curious about his family. Have they ever talked about it much? Does he have any siblings/best friends/little shits?

Also once more for posterity, the tale of their true love...

The story of how we met has so much to it.. But in short: He knew my sister, I had seen him around and I liked looking at MySpace page! Haha. I had the biggest crush on him. When I was 13 my sister had a house party while my mum was away and I got drunk for the first time. I found Ro, we kissed and whatever and I ended up walking around the party telling everybody that “I love Ro” and they were all like “Um no, you don’t know what love is” and now I’m like HA! Take THAT random party goers! Married and three kids… Boo yah! Ah seriously that is not the whole story but that’s a tiny fraction that you can have right now. I had it in more detail written out on here somewhere but I might have deleted it when I went through my blog last.

Anyway, if you're bored and wish to delve into it there are ten pages archived here: https://web.archive.org/web/20150221212 ... lr.com:80/

I don't think my link works but anyway, search houseofbeans.tumblr.com at archive.org

[DoodleBop]

Interesting.

A friend of mine was in a due date club with her for Otto I think maybe Felix. She said she struggled quite a bit with breastfeeding. I thought maybe this need for perfection came from that. Now I wonder if she stopped to get her periods back to get pregnant again so soon.

They lived with her mother? No wonder Grandma didn't think she should have more kids.

[Lyanna]

I already red her old tumblr but it's just so overwhelming to read it all again. She's amazing. That delivery guy rant looks so much more stupid knowing what she wrote about baby Felix.
And I remember she wrote "I like the idea of an even number of kids". I have to find it and copy it here just for the record.
Also notice how her 13 yo drunk self found 17 years old Ro and they "kissed AND WHATEVER". Interesting. Did she even had her period back then? this is an amazing fairytale and I'm sure the kids will love to hear about it one day. Hopefully before they turn 13 so they can start looking for the person they will reproduce themselves with and make Chloe the youngest grandma ever.

[hellcatspangled]

IIRC Chloe and her family all originally lived in WA and they moved to tassie when she was like 10 or something. She met Ro there and her mum moved back to WA at some point and she stayed with Ro in tassie. Then they moved to WA, something like that anyway I started following her just before the trips were born and I think that's what she said on Insta at the time.

When her personal Facebook profile was less private there was a post of her announcing her pregnancy with either Felix or the triplets and her brother said something like "oh god not another one" and Chloe went off. She was really showing her age/immaturity complaining about her family online, I stopped doing that well before 18.

[Lyanna]

sorry for double post but I just wanted to say they didn't exactly live with her mom. They were in Tas and decided to move to Perth just when Felix was born. They lived with her for a few weeks just to find their rental and this is when the trip were conceived.
She didn't manage to bf her kids. I remember reading she said she had some kind of condition basically her breast couldn't produce enough milk. That's why she's all about veganism hair yada yada but never talks about bf. This is the only crunchy subject she's carefully avoiding...and even with her condition if you search through her old facebook or ig posts you can see some pictures of her with a baby (I believe it was Otto then Felix) right on her boob, trying to portray herself as the perfect breastfeeding mamma even if she didn't bf them more than a few days. If she could she would be doing 100 videos about breastfeeding and how she's amazing for having bf them and ranting about mthers who don't care about their kids' health and don't love them. "Homeschooling family of vegan breasted six kids under five including montessori breastfed vaginally birthed triplets!!!"

[DoodleBop]

It does happen, women who cannot BF since I can't prove otherwise. That being said if she'd been BFing her children wouldn't be so close together most likely.

[julietpreston]

Wow. She sounds like a bratty 15 year old in those posts. And now we know that even though they were struggling financially and physically, Chloe just had to try for a girl, immediately. She couldn't even wait a few years until they had saved up more. How selfish.

And what a hypocrite! Complains about Felix being a difficult baby and making her never want another, and then acts like the delivery man committed a crime for saying that kids are hard. And despite the fact they couldn't even afford the dentist, she was going to get Evan a cosmetic surgery, and now she goes on about how it's unnecessary and he's perfect the way he is.

I found a post talking about getting pregnant back to back. It's too long to copy and paste but some bits made me roll my eyes. Particularly where the question was "why cant you just enjoy the baby you have now before rushing to have another one" and the first part of Chloes answer was "This is said a lot and frankly it confuses me."

I'm going to come back to it at nap time and maybe try to find some juicy stuff

[Lyanna]

Someone told her to let her body rest before getting pregnant again and she answered back saying that pregnancies back to back aren't bad for the body, that it's just old stereotypes and that it had been scientifically disproven. Just like she said that having sicks kids in towels with wet hair doesn't make them sicker.

Now she always denies that they were trying for a girl but hey who wrote it on her tumblr? not us for sure. Also in the pregnancy forum another detective here found she said she was having extra ultrasounds in her early pregnancy of the trip in hope to find their genders. Even if one costs half of ro's paycheck she just couldn't wait to know if they had ggg or bbb or ggb or bbg being her least favorite.
All that bs about gender neutral for their boys and then their only girl wears pink tutus all the damn time and all she is passionate about is cuddling six bunnies and wearing shoes totally screams "we so badly wanted a GIRL"

[Peachespeonies]

She is still stuck at those tumblr days. How could she possibly wanted to get pregnant knowing they are going to move, ro needs a new job, they need a new place in addition to having 3 under 2. I saw she wrote ."can't believe I am pregnant with my 6th child when my eldest is just 2." Yes chloe that is crazy and puts a lot into perspective what sort of a person you are. From those tumblr posts, I feel she treats her kids like dolls. In her eyes, they don't have much emotions or feelings. It is always about her feeling. You will also notice how many times she repeats how Ro will just follow her decision. Doormat.

And she clearly doesnt feel the same about her trips like how she used to feel. Maybe she has postpartum depression. But she put herself in this. With lots of arrogance too.

[sadfox]

I found this on the archive : "Q: Would you rather have 3 boys and 3 girls or 4 boys and 2 girls? Or 6 boys?

A: In a perfect world, we would have three girls to even things out. My order of preferences goes like this: GGG, GGB, BBB, BBG. I really do not want two boys and a girl, because then we will have five boys and one girl in total and that doesn’t sit right with me. Any other combo is fine. But of course, three healthy babies is all I really want. I don’t mind at all about the sexes." And the she contradicts herself in the same q&a going on and on and on how she hopes it is anything BUT BBG. I mean , really???
