Lol yes! That's so funny. I still can't believe they're behind. What I don't get is how do they even know what day to edit??? Like if I were them I would probably forget what day I'm "on" versus what day it really is. They should just not publish 2 vlogs and just go right to being caught up.

random thought: I wonder how they afford health insurance/ what type they have? Neither of them work and they make way too much to qualify for medicaid. I wonder how they have it and how they provide for Levi and now mini bug... C sections aren't cheap either.

They're probably still under their parents, and if they aren't I'm sure Kyra is smart enough to have purchased something. Well I'd hope anyway

In my culture, kids are toilet trained early. I was fully toilet trained by 20 months. My daughter though - different story (but she is ASD though). 2 years 7 months out of nappies in the day time and the night nappy finally went at 4.5 years.

Here in Australia its quite common for 3 year olds to be in nappies still. It is quite scary and cannot be healthy
What is scary about it? And what unhealthy?
In my culture 3 isn't uncommon. I think it depends on when the child is ready. If it's ready that early fine by me, but if not that's ok too. children have so many changes going on and need to learn so much, we should just give them time. Maybe kids which are "only" potty trained at 3 were to busy learning something else :)
I just wonder, how long does it take to potty train the kids when you start when they are walking?
Because when I started working in childcare 2004 till 2012), it was common for them to be toilet trained before 2, 2.5 and very rarely we had a kid past 3 in nappies. Now I know so many who have kids who are 3 and haven't even started thinking about it.

They pay for their own insurance Kyra tweeted something about it being expensive and she would prefer to use the money to get a massage every week. These guys are making bank, they get similar views to Ellie and Jared who live in a big custom made mansion lol. I strongly believe they are saving to buy a house outright and I would bet they bought Kyras car outright. I get the feeling they live off their old budget from when Oscar worked and save the additional YouTube income except for splurges like drones etc. I think they are actually being really smart with their money by living a modest lifestyle because they are probably saving a LOT.

That's what they said once in a comment of the day, they are saving for a house in priority and when we see their video, they don't spend as much money as some other youtube families which is good, they are showing maturity in that department.

As much as I agree that O behaviour is ... "weird" most of the time and I don't get how he think it's ok to treat Kyra the way he does and also I said before that I am a concerned about how he disciplines Levi because Kyra admit to sometimes hides Levi bad behaviour from him to "protect" Levi, I don't get how both choosing to save money to buy a house is controlling...? Do you mean that for you, he is the one that wants to save money to buy a house and he prevent her from buying what she wants? I am sorry, I am nust to sure to understand your post

Damn... I hope they have educated themselves at the amount of taxes they are going to pay with making that kind of income. People with small businesses pay around 30% of their earnings to taxes. I think doing youtube would count as "small business" income.

I think Kyra is frugal without Oscar. She grew up kind of poor it sounds like, and if she does a haul, she'll talk about all the sales she got.

This may sound really harsh.. but I don't get why both Keren and Kyra seem to not really want VBACS. They only say they do but its obvious they would just rather have repeat c-secctions. I work in the medical profession for an OBGYN and he has told me numerous times that in 80-90% of cases c-sections aren't medically necessary. Doctors and insurance companies make more money off of c-sections and due to liability reasons doctors in the USA are very quick to perform them. Kyra's first c-section was medically necessary of course. However the whole "Keren having narrow hips" is a total phenomenon. Yes, some women have a harder time dilating and the birthing process can take longer but it is better for the baby and mom WHEN POSSIBLE to have a vaginal birth. It seems like they both just want to take the fastest route to having their babies. Not to mention Kyra just wanting a c-section because its easiest to have something scheduled etc. I fully get that but whats best for you and your baby should come first! Hire a babysitter from care.com or something.... Also the bullshit Kyra said about her being cut a certain way with her c-section for Levi that puts her at higher risk for a VBAC is total bullshit. I have scrubbed down hundreds of c-section patients and assisted in loads of c-section procedures in women having them for the same reason Kyra did and they have gone on to have successful VBACS. Their risks remain the same as any other woman who had a c-section prior regardless of the reason for it. I want to see a damn vaginal birth vlog on youtube! I feel like every youtuber is getting a c-section lately....

Because they are all to fucking impatient and lazy, that they just want to meet/see their baby in the quickest way possible.
I've only had a vaginal delivery with my son and I can't imagine the healing time a c section takes.
I feel like doctors nowadays push c sections harder because it's quicker for them..
My doctor kept saying to me that I needed one cause I was pushing for like 7 hrs , aside from the time I labored.. but I said no over and over and told them I would only go in if my life or the baby's was in danger.. a couple more hours later he was born perfectly healthy. If they really wanted it they could do it. They are just ready to pop the baby out and get more views and a fat check.

I actually don't think so because the employer that theyd put on their taxes would be Google, as thats who pays them, which is a major company. Im not sure that they give each major youtuber actual benefits but I wouldn't think that theyd be taxed at the level of small buisness owners because they dont really own anything. Thats just my guess though, a full time youtuber would actually have to explain how all their employee status is set up.

dont be so judgy. Some women cant handle that pain or stress, esp with women who have anxiety or low pain tolerance.. every woman is diff with what she can stand.

I've only seen a few of Kerens vlogs so I'm not really sure what she's like but when it comes to her having a narrow pelvis it actually is pretty dangerous to have a baby vaginally. You're right that it can make the birthing process longer but if that happens it isn't safe for a baby to be stuck in the birth canal for a prolonged period of time because the contractions compress their heads. Which can cause other delivery problems. So it's not always better for mom and baby to have a vaginal birth.
In Kyra's case, I would think she would be all for a vaginal birth. I don't even understand why a c-section is an option? She didn't have a section the first time because of any pelvic abnormalities or delivery complications it was caused by placenta previa which isn't something that's guaranteed to happen every pregnancy. And I'm pretty sure her doctors have been looking out for that this entire pregnancy. So I'm just confused as to why she would be considering a c-section? I mean I had a vaginal birth with my own complications and have never had a section so I don't know a whole lot about it so I don't know.

exactly keren mentioned jackson was stuck in the birth canal for quite some time and he came out cone headed so that is why they went C with landon. i dont understand why kyra doesnt try. I think she's just more familiar with a C
