Gardner Quad Squad

[weed]

Now people are beginning to criticise them for not letting the girls out to walk in the park. It seems that a few people are really beginning to be critical.

I agree with the, The trips to the park just consist of Tyson pulling them around the cart ... and this time the poor guy had to pull Ashley in it too! ... and they have never let them out to walk. At least this time they let one of them on the swings, which is a first! But why only ONE? The other three had to sit and watch, poor little things. Ashley got to have a swing herself, but the little girls had to sit and watch?

they they went home to a dinner that TYSON (of course) cooked. Does Ashley even know how to use the kitchen?

I really really wish Tyson would stop that constant giggling at ... every ... single .. thing ... he says! It is so annoying.

Yeah the girls got to go to the park to watch Ashley play. I was so surprised she just left the babies to ham it up for the camera. GROW UP ASHLEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I bet the girls would have loved to get out and explore. They had enough people there to watch them and a little more activity may solve their nap problems. I loathe her more and more every day but I just can't stop watching! I'll take Tyson's weird giggling over Ashley's face or voice any day haha! Lately every video seems to have some kind of product plug. Super annoying. I also noticed in today's vlog that the new car seats are gone! It looks like there's a base for an infant seat behind Tyson.

[Sammy16]

I had to. Poor babies.

I hardly ever watch them because Ashley is so unbearable. I do follow their FB page, but it rarely pops up in my feed.

I really enjoy that both Jamie Grayson (TheBabyGuyNYC) and Dr. Alisa Baer (The Car Seat Lady) essentially called them out on their own Facebook pages. Techs have offered to help and have suggested seats that would fit in their vehicle. Pretty stupid to get a bunch of expensive car seats that are completely inappropriate for your babies' needs. Plus, if you're going to forward-face, combination seats makes a lot more sense than convertible seats where you'll lose half the function. Dionos usually make for pretty short-lived boosters too. It seems like it must've been a donation, but people do make poor car seat choices like this all the time.

When they brought the first baby home from the hospital they ended up switching out the Britax cover for one of those, gaudy, aftermarket, super-flammable minky ones. They were ripped a new one for that too and ended up correcting it.

[Sammy16]

I think the seats were donated too along with mostly everything they have: The car, toys, Minky blankets, shoes, highchairs (are they waiting for someone to send them a 4th and is that why they haven't bought one themselves?), cribs, mattresses, etc. I'd bet money they write to these companies and get free stuff to include in vlogs and posts. I love that they were called out for the car seats because in my opinion, they made an irresponsible decision based on convenience. I mentioned in a previous post that in today's vlog the Dionos don't appear to be in the car anymore. The seat covers are there and you can see a base for an infant seat behind Tyson so maybe they reconsidered after the backlash.

I hope they did reconsider those carseats. They sure needed to. They have certainly gone very quiet on it though, which is their style of course.

Ashley really is a piece of work! Looking at those photos Sammy 16 posted makes me realise that. How much would it have hurt her to lift those babies one by one and give them a swing? No! Instead three of them just had to sit there watching her have fun. they had a friend with the, so could have easily had all the babies on the swings at the one time if Tyson had held two. She also sat in the front carriage of that train and made Tyson pull her AND the three other babies around. She thinks she is really funny when she does things like that. I don't understand how he can be so patient with her.

It reminds me of the time they were out shopping and she started hula hooping in some store. Other shoppers were trying to get past her in the aisle and giving her dirty looks, but she just kept going and laughing as she obviously thought it was so funny. She really is very immature. I feel sorry for those little girls growing up with parents like that.

Want to bet that they mentioned their dentist by name and thanked him for "helping them out" because he is subsidising the work that Tyson has to have done? It sure sounds like it to me.

YES!!! I so agree. I've been so curious as to how they pay/who pays their medical insurance. That has to be expensive!!

[Sammy16]

They left this comment in response to someone on their Facebook: "Hey Megan! We're working with the network now on moving forward with season 2 of Rattled!! We'll keep you posted!!!"

How is that possible!? That show was terrible!

[weed]

NO!!!!!!!

Well the car seat debate is back on. They have posted another video about how they got expert advice and have now managed to put two of them rear facing. Expert advice (via Ashley's phone no less LOL) from someone who talks her through putting them in herself. After all the flack that they have had I would have thought that they might have actually got an expert to DO IT professionally? The way they were talking about it, I am absolutely convinced that those seats were donated by the company as the company contacted THEM when they heard about the issues, not the other way around. Also, why wouldn't they simply return the seats and get some that WILL fit? Because they were donated and they can't return them, that's why!! Of course that expert (who works for the company) is going to say that the seats are OK. Are they going to diss their own product?

I've said it before ... I'm no expert on whether or not those car seats should be forward or backward facing ... but for heavens sake people, get some independent expert advice and get them fitted professionally!! Don't try and fit them yourself when they obviously aren't going to fit!! They are either stupid or trying to stir up controversy. Probably both.

Tyson feeding the girls a WHOLE doughnut each for breakfast was gross. How can they feed those babies in this way? And I don't like the way he keeps telling the girls not to tell their mother what he is feeding them. Of course they are too little at this stage to understand what he is saying, but he if makes a habit of joking about that he is setting them up to keep secrets which they are going to understand in time? I don't think that is good. I know he is joking, but they won't understand that. They are going to end up with weight problems.

Once again I saw a huge cup of that soda he constantly drinks on the bench. He drinks it ... all ... day ... long! Combined with his doughnuts, no wonder he is huge! He probably has the doughnuts and drink donated too as he is forever mentioning the companies where he gets them. I'm so sick of all the product placements in those videos.

[weed]

Well they managed it! Someone has donated the fourth high chair that they needed. No surprise that happened!

[Sammy16]

I loathe them so much. Recently I've been watching them to see how much lower they could go but lately I'm having a hard time even doing that. Every video is a plug for some product and I don't know what's more frustrating- that or the fact that all their little worshipers just eat it up. I guarantee they get a cut from the sales of those over priced Minky blankets they're constantly pushing yet they don't disclose it (which is against FTC guidelines) and they act like they're doing everyone a favor by getting them 50% off coupon codes! If that company can cut the price of those blankets by 50%, give the Gardners a cut, and still make a profit, then they are grossly over charging. It's sick. The nasty steak recipe they just posted on their blog makes me think there's a deal going on with Campbell's soup too. We'll see. By the way, where did the Easter teepee go? Once that endorsement deal was over the teepee disappeared. Have we seen the girls in those horrid Persnickety clothes after the endorsement with them was over? Nope. I'll never understand why all their worshipers feel the need to support them. I assume they all work to provide for their kids and families but don't expect the Gardners to do the same. They're happy to shell out their hard earned money to them, sending them clothes, shoes, baby gear, etc. I read a comment and one of the followers said "if we all donate $1.00 we could buy them a house". What the %&$#?!?!?! Why on earth would it be anyone else's responsibility to BUY THEM A FREAKING HOUSE?! Tyson's "lets get real" comment on the car seat video was also comical. He made a statement about how they're always worried about upsetting their followers and making sure they're all okay and having to justify all of his and Ashley's decisions when it comes to the girls... Uh yeah because those women are your bread and butter! Without them you would have NOTHING. UUUGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[weed]

Buy them a house now is it??? Didn't I predict that one would happen? LOL Words fail me .....

I also read on another board that TLC gave them a car. Geez! And I agree that the product placements are just too much. Totally over the top. I don't think a single video goes past without them mentioning blanket shop, the drink shop and the doughnut shop ... obviously their three main sponsers. Not ... a ... single ... video ....

I loathe them too! More and more as time goes on. I thought I would calm down and get used to them in time, but it only gets worse. They are horrible people and very calculated in what they are doing, but what I can't get my head around is how many people fall for it!

Just by reading here it makes me angry there's other couples who infertility treatments failed to work even for one baby, yet these bozos managed to get four beautiful little girls but barely parent.

[Sammy16]

"You guys asked for it...you all said you wanted more easy recipes! Well, Tyson cooked yesterday and made a family favorite! Check it out it was soooo yummy!"

LOL who asked for recipes?!?! I can count on one hand the things we've actually seen them cook Nice try, though!

[weed]

I read every comment in response to their videos and have never once seen anyone ask for recipes. In the latest video the girls are eating junk again as usual. There is no way any of them have a healthy diet, so trying to convince people that they are good cooks and eat healthily is just stupid. Maybe they'll start charging for recipes soon? LOL Yet another way of sucking money out of people.

Why does she keep putting the girls' hair in those stupid styles on top of their heads? They really don't have enough hair to have it pulled so tight and it must be very uncomfortable for them. Why doesn't she just put a simple clip in their hair to keep it out of their eyes?

Also, how come she has time to do those styles every single day for the four of them ... oh yes wait ... she doesn't do anything else, does she? She has plenty of time. I would get SO bored doing nothing but sitting around all day watching babies play. It would be nice for a little while, but all day every day? That is all she does! I've noticed lately that while she is sitting on her behind doing nothing she is very good at telling all the hordes of helpers (who appear on a daily basis)what to do with the babies so that she doesn't actually do much.

[Sammy16]

Soooooo they can't buy their own highchairs but Ashley has a new Apple watch? Seems about right...

[weed]

It is all about product placements now .... one after the other. Their Facebook page and their Youtube channel are both focused on it constantly. How much money are they making from their followers? I'll bet it is a heap!!
