Steps to Controlling Your Spouse

I don't watch GOT, so I was lost. I will say June was cute in her dragon suit

So a couple of years ago they were so broke that they had to "clear out" their bank account in order to pay for a $5 pizza? And sometimes they could only afford to eat a loaf of bread for dinner. The theory that they racked up a lot of credit card debt when they were first married is starting to seem more and more plausible. I don't mean to sound like I'm judging them for being poor, but their erratic employment history leads me to believe they either didn't want to work or couldn't hold down a job. My husband and I married relatively young (early 20s) but we waited until we were self-sufficient and self-supporting before we got engaged. We weren't rich by any means (and we still aren't) but we had the basics covered and we put as much away in savings for a rainy day as we could. And my husband didn't even have his bachelor's degree at the time. I see no reason why two able-bodied 20-somethings with college degrees couldn't manage to put food on the table. It makes one wonder about what was really going on.

Exactly.

I couldn't feel any sympathy for them with that post because they chose to not work (or only work part-time/sometimes) and live in places with higher costs of living than they could afford. When my husband and I first moved in together we were pulling in under $50K per year combined (both working full-time but not very far above minimum wage) and we could still easily afford an apartment and all necessities because we lived in a city that had a low cost of living. Yes, we are privileged, but Kelsey and Corbin have been privileged their entire lives as well.

Yep, it's was totally their own fault. And I think they were that broke just this time last year - especially after the Wander Wagon sale fell through and they seemed to panic about $$$. They didn't even have much $$$ saved up for their road trip and relied on Patreon (*or the Missy and Bryan fund*) most of the trip (and they cut the trip short by at least a month).

Corbin mentioned CC debt in old vlogs, but I'm guessing there are student loans involved too. Corbin went to an expensive private college and Kelsey only finished her degree like two years ago.

If Corbin were honest, he should only be thanking June!! She's the ONLY reason their YT channel has grown - well, and M&B for all the $$$$$ and plugs. At the end of the day, they didn't work THAT hard in the last year to get where they are. They used their baby to provide them with an income. Corbin's advice to "get rich" should be "have a baby and put them on YT everyday!"

Does anyone else think June is a little behind? She's only a week younger than the JHouse family's little girl and their daughter crawls and can now stand. June can't even crawl yet. Maybe the other baby is a bit more advanced, but Kelsey also mentioned June isn't teething yet.

Normal crawling starts between 6-10 months. My boys were on the earlier end at around 6 months but June is 7 months. So yes she will start crawling anytime and she's not behind. Standing at 7 months is very advanced. Also Gaines was 11 months I think when she finally crawled and she is very advanced in speech and intelligence.

I have to say though I can't stand this couple. Watching Corbin with his fake excitement over Bryan's phone in today's vlog was ridiculous. They really sold themselves out. I wonder how long until there is a falling out and Bryan has to get a new assistant.

Today’s vlog makes me dislike these two even more. Have to agree with everyone here. If that was really the case “$5 cleaned out our bank account “, then there is something seriously wrong with their view of the world. They’ve never really had a job, have chosen to spend money foolishly, live in high rent areas, buy a brand new car, have a baby, rent a place sight unseen.... now they’ve sold themselves to the lannings. Even
Family didn’t last long in that position. If they think they’re going to live off YouTube, they’re really crazy.
So wonder what his parents think about a video like that. What a slap in the face. I also wonder what family they’re having over for Thanksgiving?

I'm guessing just Kelsey's mom and siblings. (Wasn't that how it was last Thanksgiving?) Maybe her dad, too, but they don't seem to visit at the same time. I really doubt Corbin parents will be there. Maybe Corbin's younger brother. He's the only immediate family member Corbin seems to still talk to.

I'm sure the Lannings will stop by to make an appearance, but I would be surprised if Missy didn't (pretend to) make her own feast.

Dang! Today's "uncut" vlog shows how LITTLE work Corbin actually does. He said that 9:25 vlogs was ALL the clips he took all day and he usually edits stuff out. Seriously??!!? He only records about 10 minutes a day and edits that down? That must take at MOST an hour total!!

Also, I didn't seen ANY difference in today's vlog than any other vlog (other than no Missy and Bryan ). What the heck was he talking about it being soooo different??!!

Have to agree with you. Today really did show just how lazy he is. There wasn’t any difference. Does he think showing dirty diapers is being “real”? I absolutely hated when he was talking about June only will sleep in her crib if he puts her down. Such a jerk.
There wasn’t one thing different except for no Lumps. When he was getting the lizard, I noticed how dirty the floor was, needed to be swept. House just just seemed messy, how lazy that you can’t throw away a diaper or pick up.

Has anyone else noticed that they seem to visit Corbin's family near LA whenever they need a babysitter? I visit my extended family quite a bit, all of whom live about an hour from us, and I can't imagine only planning "visits" when I have a date night planned and need a sitter.

I'm sure the extended family enjoys spending time with the baby, but they could do that with Kelsey and Corbin present. I get that date nights are important, but these two give the impression that they only keep family close so that they can use them as a means to an end. They just remind me of two self-involved teenagers.

The only time they bothered visiting family in Idaho was to pick up the stuff they were storing at their parents' homes and of course for Kelsey's baby shower. We saw Kelsey's parents make a huge effort to help them move when Kelsey was pregnant, come down to help after the baby was born, and watch the dog for them recently. We saw Corbin's parents drive from Idaho to Oregon just so that he could borrow a car. I get the impression they still have a very immature relationship with their parents and that everything is a one way street.

Today’s vlog was a prime example of how boring and lazy these two are. Quick clip of him at the Lumps. Then back home for the evening at least after 5pm when it’s getting dark. Moving furniture for a few minutes talk to June that’s it. Do they really think they need an office? Why?
So was he editing the Lumps vlog when he was sitting on the sofa?
Corbin keep your shirt on!

Yes they only see his family when they want something. Typical entitlement of these two.

Their cooking videos always crack me up. I noticed in their most recent one, they specified fresh thyme and fresh sage in the voiceover, and then showed what was clearly dried herbs. Are they too lazy to buy ingredients prior to filming?

I think the audio was real, I didn't see any instances where it looked like the baby noises were dubbed?

[Theirmom]

How can two people who have been talking to a camera for as long as these two have still be so stiff and unnatural?
It’s cringey.
Even if they were the most interesting people on earth, they’ll never be successful if they can’t speak naturally to a camera.
It’s not hard. Speak to it like you’re talking to a friend. Do more than show baby giggles and asking an infant questions. Two thirds of the vlog is “rhetorical question, bug, huh?”

What is with Missy and Kelsey and the animal obsession? Goats? Horses? Why? Just why?

And Missy at least, wouldn't take care of them the way she should. She's already bored with the chickens. Goats stink if they aren't kept scrupulously clean.
I think they have this Disney princess fantasy. Like seriously wishing they could sing out the window, and forest animals would come running and help them sew and clean house.

Well, they grew up in really rural Idaho (the town has like 6000 people), so maybe they had animals growing up??

Boise? I thought they grew up in Boise. That has a population of over 200K. Missy spent her early years in that religious compound. I know she had chickens there, but I think that's it. I seriously think it's that Disney princess thing. They want to be that chick in 'Enchanted". Sing out the window, and all the animals come running...
