Cullen & Katie : Happy Sparkling New Year Part #8

[tratra58]

I didn't see a problem with what she was doing. There were at least 2 booths that were empty. She wasn't running around screaming, climbing on the table or in the way of the staff. It seemed as if they were there for a long time. At least her face wasn't shoved in an iPad like the majority of You Tubers kids at every meal.

Are you serious? She should have been in her seat, or in someone's lap. There's absolutely no reason for a little kid to get up out of their seat in a restaurant without a parent acconpanying them.

It's a restaurant, not a playground. Booths are not jungle gyms, and they aren't just empty communal spaces. Those children had their own seats, and it's their parent's jobs to keep them in them. I'd rather see a kid playing quietly on an Ipad than see a kid climbing in and out of booths they aren't supposed to be in. It's about respect for public places and other people.

Cullen did once jump on mattesses at a mattress store though, so I suppose asking this family to have a little respect for things that aren't yours is pushing it.

What an easier solution would be, get a babysitter. Preschoolers and toddlers are at an age where sitting for a lengthy period of time isn't easy.

If one kid does it, you don't have to let your kid do it. You tell your kid to sit down. I imagine the next time they're out, Gaines might want to climb over the booths again and it probably won't be tolerated. I don't think Gaines is a little terror off camera. I watched Randy and Anna's vlog and I was a little put off by how Cullen tells her she should have responded with "Yeah, Dude". MG repeats it as if she's reciting her lines.

I find lately over the last few months now that Gaines is talking more Cullen have been scripting her more and more. I really hope he don't try and be another Bryan and Missy scripting Oliver. You can tell with the cuts in the video. Plus, why let her bring her cart all the way from home to go real grocery shopping. I'd never let my kid do that. I still would not let my kid climb all over the restaurant booths, that just shows the kid that every time they go out they can do that when ever they want. Also with the cleanliness of their house, when Gaines and Brooks goes for a nap, they don't need to nap, they can do some of the cleaning then and then when the kids go to bed at night they can clean then as well. Also Gaines goes to a mothers day out and goes to granddollys house once a week, if they can make time to get their hair and nails done and what not they can make time to clean their house. I'm a stay at home wife, I clean up every day. If I can make time then I'm sure they can. Edit: This is DailyBuzz's post I was supposed to quote

I don't think the shopping cart thing is an issue at all. If it will keep your kid happy, while teaching them and isn't bothering anyone else then theres not really much wrong with it. Some stores around me actually provide little toy trollies. Sorry if my quoting is off btw.[/quote]

I agree with the house, but I have come to the conclusion that people live differently and don't see the messes like I would and people hang onto to too much stuff.

I wouldn't bring the shopping cart from home just because I have enough to carry with kids going out i.e diaper bag etc.

oh wow yes that is rediculous and lazy. A dogs claws take a long time to get that overgrown. It is probably painful to her and they could break easily.

I could be totally wrong but... I feel like they mentioned she hates having her nails cut at some point.

My dog is the same. I slowly starting to get her used the to electric file but for the most part she will NOT let me cut/groom her nails. She'll let the groomers do it but I don't wanna pay $15 every 6 weeks or less. Thinking about taking her to the vet to get them trimmed back. I'm guessing Ada's quick (basically the part that would bleed if they cut it) has lengthened/grown out so they probably need to make a vet appt. At least they're not curled under or impeding her ability to walk. Definitely something they should take care of sooner rather than later.

Those are freaking talons. No way the quick is that long. These two can definitely afford to have the vet cut them. No excuse.

I wouldn't either but then again these people place a camera then run back so they can walk past it and then go back to get it again. Having MG with her cart creates "memories" aka vlog content

Maybe its a cultural difference, but I don't see if being done for vlogs. Like I said, some shops around me provide little carts for kids so where I am, even at stores where they don't have the trollies you see kids pushing their own little toys.

[lexlex11]

I used to really like Cullen and Katie because they seemed so real and like they weren't pandering the kids. Their recent thumbnails and vlog antics have really turned me off though.

Was anyone else annoyed by Cullen interrupting Katie and then putting himself in black and white white musing about "life lessons"? Katie couldn't get a whole sentence out.

I don't know if I'm correct here, but isn't it pretty common for young kids to repeat others when they are learning to talk? It's probably a bit of wanting to say what mum/dad can say combined with constantly hearing "can you say...". I don't feel like Cullen is scripting her so much as having fun trying to get her to say things. I don't personally have any children, but I know many of my friends did a similar thing when their kids were toddlers, telling them to say what the parent wanted them to (I don't have any vloggers friends, btw)

*** sorry, had issues with the quote

But he does try to get her to say catch phrases. Sometimes it's like he's trying to turn her into Michelle from Full House with the thumbs up, "You got it, dude"

Yeah, I know, but I don't actually think it's just for the vlog, like it is with DB. He strikes me as the type of person that would make his toddler say "cool" or "funny" things regardless. He's pretty immature, and as I said, I know people like that who like to try and make their kids say funny shit, I guess it's like being the class clown?

I think a few message I've seen from others and myself is Cullen is trying to increase viewers and kids are where they are finding them. Ruby's channel is the perfect example of how kids can make your channel grow super fast and she will pass up Katie and Cullen's due to this.

The hard part is keeping those who are not kids from being annoyed and a difficult one to balance if you are not content with being a slower growing channel.

Yep. I have to admit, my ex and I, before we had kids, helped teach our best friends' daughter to say "Daddy's a butthead". Then we had our own kids, and figured out it wasn't as funny. But we also didn't upload video of it to YouTube. How's Gaines going to feel in middle school when there's all this video of her saying "sparkling"? Do they even _think_ about that at all, or is it all about now?

I really wasn't bothered, it was obvious that he was playing and she caught on to that. He was making fun of himself. We need not worry about Katie, she's got that shorthand, "Babe." Lol. I do wish they'd get to 500k already so Cullen will relax already and stop putting video bits in the vlog. There is a time and place for everything, and several bits every vlogg is OTT.

[CallieT]

I just want to say, I love how Katie is clearly successfully breastfeeding and while she subtly promotes it she doesn't act all high and mighty about it or whip out her boobs for attention like some other YT moms. I feel like Katie does breastfeeding right...she's so classy.

What cracks me up, is that MG is catching on to the "Babe!" She'll say that to Cullen when she wants him to stop. The best was "what do you say when Daddy sings?" "Babe, NO!"

I agree with you. He's really trying hard to increase their subs. I wish he would quit trying so hard though as I think it's taking a bit away from what people love about them. I hope he quits looking at his "friends" E&J and the Lumps for suggestions. I would be heartbroken to see this family change.

[MommaLindsey2]

Yuk why wasn't Gaines wearing socks at the trampoline park? All the places like that around me have a strict rule that you must have socks or they will make you buy a pair. This is proof that they always think they are beyond rules and don't care. An example is Cullen jumping on the mattresses in the store.

I do love them but lately they are pissing me off a little. They are still my favorite family of the vloggers I watch.

Hey, even Cullen commented on how Katie could clean like this is unusual. It isn't that December is busy, Katie and Cullen don't do routine cleaning.

I would get babysitters more often so the kids are in bed at a good time.

I keep think they want a bigger, nicer home and they'll need more viewers.

Hey does anyone follow Katie on IG? If so, she posted a story of the kids playing and brooks was coughing. It sounded like a sick cough. Check it out and see if in your opinion he should be seen by a doctor.

Isn't Katie technically a doctor? Hopefully she'll know if he needs to be seen.
Also the very ending of today's vlog cracked me up lol

She's a PhD, not an MD. Big difference.
