Ballinger Family. Part 1

[lmmomSD]

Am I the only one who hates it when Youtubers put "(emotional)" in the title of their videos? Like the sad looking thumbnail isn't enough. Do they really think we're all so stupid that we need to be told some topics are "emotional", or are they that caught up in themselves and their own drama that they think it's important that we know that "trying to get pregnant again " is "emotional"?
It's even more obnoxious when Jake Paul does it.

I hope I don't get hate for this but has anyone here seen the act on Hulu? Bailey reminds me of Gypsy Rose (the character).

Yes this is exactly what she reminds me of! the way she acts, talks, dresses etc

Is she disabled? I don't follow them so don't know anything about their family so just curious

No she's just socially awkward like many homeschooled kids

Bailey does not have any disability (that they have shared on YouTube) and is actually very smart. She began reading at like 3 years old. In past vlogs from when she was very little (mostly on Colleen’s channel since this was before Chris started vlogging) she would talk at length about things that I hadn’t expected a toddler her age to know.

I think Bailey is the type of student who would thrive in a traditional classroom. Having her homeschooled and only really ever spending time with her younger siblings and other kids who are younger than her has slowed down her maturity, in my opinion. That is why I am so happy for her to be in the cast of Annie with other middle school aged kids.

Ohh ok thanks for the info. She seems like a sweet girl and that's nice to know she is getting the opportunity to be around girls her age

Hey I'm new to the ballinger family! Just started watching and was wondering if they have adressed their son dressing like a girl? -no issues here I just know that people can attack them for that

Edit: i cant get these pics to show up clearly for the life of me but hopefully you can still read it

[lmmomSD]

She's right about that, BUT if he's not so flamboyant when he's older, he may not appreciate it being online. You do you, but posting it on public websites, FOR MONEY isn't ok to me. He can't consent. I don't care what they do in their home or even out and about, but posting it for public consumption isn't ok. Because there still are stupid people. And dressing up like a cop or a firefighter isn't the same as dressing up like Jojo Siwa.

Maybe this is me being nit-picky but as a YouTube famous family, why have a baby shower for baby #5 when every child you’ve had this decade is the same gender? It’s not like you need the gifts and I guarantee all of your family members and friends irl would much rather have a get together once the baby is born to get to meet him. I get that their friend threw it but this seems like a view grab

I agree. Along with the fact that baby showers were originally created for the pregnancy of your first baby.

[scojacar]

I also agree. I was baby #4 and my mom’s friends threw one for her, but that’s because my siblings are 12, 10, and 8 years older than I am so my mom obviously had no baby stuff left in the house. It seems strange for Jessica to be having one.

The guitar that Chris made for Colleen is just beautiful! He’s a really talented artist. He’s done many projects in the past and I was always impressed. I also love that he has found a way to bring in money from YouTube without exploiting his children. I wish his new channel a lot of success.

Without exploiting his children? Do we watch the same videos?
Not trying to rain on your parade, but they exploit the crap out of their kids. It's all sucking up to Jojo Siwa and videos of Parker being flamboyant. Which is fine for hi-- he's a great kid. I just don't think it's appropriate to upload videos of him wearing a Jojo Siwa outfit to a public site for money. Those kids have no privacy.
The only reason anyone is watching his guitar channel is because he has pimped out his kids. He has 24K subscribers. His family channel has over a million. They can't live off that.

I only meant that his guitar channel does not exploit his children. Regardless of how he's made money in the past, I would consider it an extreme improvement if his new channel took off and they were able to make money that way instead.

Agree 100%. Sorry for sounding like such a b*tch.
These people and their ilk just really make me angry. The kids can't consent, and the parents are living a pretty good life off of exploiting their kids.
I do hope that the guitar channel takes off. But what would be even better to me would be if Chris and/or Jessica got a job and didn't depend on a platform like YouTube to make a living. As seen with the demonetization and the upcoming changes, it's not a reliable way to support a family. And they are bringing another life into it. And this one may have special needs and need expensive medical attention.

Chris actually has some talents so he’s one that I think if YouTube went down the drain he’d be able to figure it out. But they must not be worrying about money considering they just spent $400 on a lego set.

[jellybean]

Does anyone else find it odd that Jessica refers to the baby as "your baby" when speaking to the kids? She did it when she was pregnant with Duncan too, asking 4 year old Parker if he was ready for his baby. Why not say "your brother" or something lol. It just feels weird.

I don’t know if I’m wrong but watching these videos, do these kids ever actually do their homeschool work? It seems like they are constantly in the car going with Chris & Jessica somewhere and not doing school work.

I'm really confused as to how Chris and Jessica can afford raising 5 kids without a decent income. Their YouTube views are not good, how do they support their growing family? Chris does not work outside YT and neither does Jess. Maybe Colleen helps out but I doubt it's enough to just live off of. Anyone know how?

Their social blade shows their yearly adsense income as between $27,000 and $430,000. That's a huge gap but with most cases I've seen the actual number is usually somewhere in the middle of the estimated range so I think it's safe to assume they probably make six figures. They also do plenty of sponsorships too.
