DailyCambodiaLiving (Part 74)

[HCB]

I was just poking around online and found a study that was conducted in 2014 that said that out of 2000 parents polled 45% of them bought sibling presents for another child's birthday.. FORTY FIVE PERCENT!!! I'm shocked, no wonder we are growing up in a society of spoiled ass children.

Well, I'm from a long line of people who have done this so it certainly is not a new concept. My grandma learned it from her family. They moved here to the U.S. from Germany in the 40's. We always got one small gift on our sibling's birthday. We opened it after they were done with all of theirs. I have the most non spoiled, polite, and well behaved children. My own siblings beg me to teach them how to get their children to behave like mine and strangers stop us constantly to comment on them. So...
The majority of parents aren't like B&M and the majority of children are not like Ollie. Every generation calls the generation beneath them spoiled. Kids today are not any more spoiled. They are poorly parented by parents who can't get their face away from their iPhone long enough to do their damn job.

I mean, you could see him in the background at the end of the party vlog playing with the gifts Finn got hours earlier, the gift from Missy to Jimmy for his birthday was barely given to jimmy before it was thrusted back to Ollie. Every shopping trip, he gets something. The kid will grow up thinking he's a king

I wonder how Ollie's toy collection compares to Prince George's. I can't believe I even waste my time thinking about crap like this, but I'm actually curious now. On one hand, we have Prince Ollie, born to the King and Queen of Idaho, whose parents undoubtedly consider him some sort of YouTube Royalty as well. He mainlines chocolate milk and appropriates every gift received by other people for himself. And then we have Prince George, born to actual royals who are educated and well-traveled. He probably has everything a boy could want as well, but whose play room has more stuff?

So I bet missy bought Kelsey and Corbin thousand of dollars worth of baby stuff! Just to look rich. Did anyone see their Volg?

If you're looking to go minimalist, maybe don't start at a place called "Buy Buy Baby."

And what are they supposed to do with all that stuff now anyways? Throw it in the back of their already cluttered van? I know it's a discussion for their thread but I'm still really confused on what their plans are for when the baby is born. Why buy all this big stuff now when you are in a different state and have no where to put it.

I don't know about Missy but it seems Bryan probably grew up poor, and likely without many material objects. It makes sense that he might want to spread the joy of having toys that he feels he missed out on. Maybe they also think that a lack of parenting or genuine connection can be made up by showering him with gifts.

Both are shitty examples of reasoning and parenting, but I think they may explain it. Plus, they've dug themselves into a hole where Ollie constantly expects new things, and they don't know how to deal with his tantrums

#Twinning hahaha it's so annoying when Bryan actually says "hashtag dad life" when he watches his kids for 10 minutes of the day!

Missy was the biggest eye-roll of this vlog....she claimed "when I turn my back for 5 seconds..." yeah right....5 seconds my ass Missy....you don't even watch Finn!! Ofcourse he is going to get into everything...you would rather sit and play a game with Ollie because it's easier for you...instead of paying attention to your toddler that actually needs more attention!

I love how when they went to Free Birds (Missy's second home) she just gave an entire burrito to Finn....yeah he only turned 1 Missy...not 11!! Why the heck was Kelsey carrying the heavy diaper box all the way to the car from the store? Why doesn't Missy bring a stroller so she can put her kids in there so nobody has to carry her kids around?? It's so ridiculous.

The ending was a no brainer...Missy and Bryan going out with their friends while her parents watch the kids...and Missy saying "We should be back before Ollie goes to bed...no we won't be back till after" yeah we know that Missy....because you are obsessed with leaving your kids and acting like a teenager!

Personal but relevant, my little sister used to get gifts on my sister and my birthday (we're twins), but we never got gifts on her birthday. She only got gifts because she would throw a tantrum otherwise, and I guess we didn't so there was no need to give us gifts, but the unfairness of it still hurt as a kid. That's the difference I see etween the situation with Ollie and the poster here who said they do it with their kids--i don't think Finn got any gifts on Ollie's birthday. If you want to have that tradition, fine, but at least be fair about it. Obviously Finn has no clue this year, but if it continues he'I'll catch on quick

Wow missy ollies barely learning how to play "pretend ?" lol maybe if you played with him more he'd play like that more often.

Wait, i haven't watched them in awhile but what? Ollie is only NOW learning to play pretend? What? My daughter who turned two in July now really loves to play pretend! She loves making "hotdogs" out of play dough and "cooking" in her little microwave and making us coffee. I don't get it, he has all the toys in the world yet lacks imagination. It's sad really.

I hate when they say "Ollie's playroom." It might be me being overly-sensitive, but their just reinforcing the thought that everything belongs to Ollie.

[ScenicBecky]

Im just catching up on reading through the forum from the weekend and saw a few people comment that they heard people singing "happy birthday to Ollie" so I went and watched Kelsey and Corbins vlog just to listen. It's hard to hear but I'm fairly certain I actually hear Bryan say "Ollie" and then quickly says "Finley". I'm listening on my phone without head phones plus with everyone else singing it is hard to hear, but try to listen past Corbins singing and please let me know if anyone else can hear it. I havnt yet watched the bumps vlog. I cant even stand to watch them anymore just to add to here haha.

ETA just watched the bumps and they definitely sung it again. After the cut Bryan changed how loud he was singing. You couldn't hear him singing at all in Corbins until he says Ollie and theb Finley. And Missys facial expression is different between the two at that point of them singing "happy birthday to Finley" she actually looks annoyed.

Missy is single handedly keeping her local Hobby Lobby in business.

And surprise surprise, Finn is getting a new room design. I think Missy is filling a void (maybe from her loveless marriage?) with home improvement projects. She seriously just never stops. They'll never be able to film this house tour they've been saying they'll do after they finish up "a few more house projects" because the house will never ever be finished.

And of course, Natalia was along for the ride to help her shop. We thought Bryan was bad having Jeff as his assistant but Missy is even worse with Natalia.

At least Tal actually seems to do something most of the time.

I thought they sung it twice too but I heard it more as an "Oh" sound instead of an "Ol" I don't think everyone wasn't supposed to sing for Ollie, but Bryan might have mistook Missy point at Ollie as her saying to sing for him? I just say that because I feel like if Missy had wanted them to sing to Ollie (which I don't see her doing) she would have been more prepared and made sure everyone knew and that no one was filming

[Lurker4Life]

Sorry for the triple post. But I'm not sure if anyone else has been getting the same vibe but I feel like MIssy has been more maternal lately? It might just be her hanging out with Kelsey but to me she seems to be acting more motherly.

Btw, I loved Missy's face when Bryan yelled out the answer to the Lord of the Rings question, she looked so peeved.

Another 'trapped' vlog today [UNAMUSED FACE][UNAMUSED FACE]

Another trapped video. I really wouldn't consider sitting on a pumpkin as being trapped but this is bryan and his stupid clickbait logic.
Really could he be anymore loud and annoying? I'm really not sure he and Corbin get along. It's a very strange dynamic between them.
Surprise spoiled Ollie got another toy which he promptly lost. What a waste. Missy is this how you teach your kid to be humble?
Weird editing during that one sequence how it repeated. I don't think Bryan really puts a lot of time into getting the vlogs out anymore.
I think missy just spends money to spend out of boredom . She really doesn't have anything else going on in her life.

I'm kinda glad you said something about bryan and Corbin.. I get major vibes that Corbin doesn't like bryan. Looking at his face and body language around him, he looks annoyed a lot of the time, but trying to put on a good face.

I havent read all the comments sorry but quick question, was Finn overdue? Bryan was going on about a little way in to the birthday vlog and I couldnt remember

Sent from my m2 using Tapatalk

Depends on how you define overdue. Clinically? ACOG doesn't consider it post term until after 42 weeks. But was he born after the estimated due date? Yes. Just past 41 weeks, if memory serves.
But yeah, they acted like he was late once she was past 37 weeks and "full term" (but actually early term technically)

Yeah thats what I meant, if he went past his due date (which is only an estimate anyway) I went overdue four out of five times, 42+4 with my third, but I definitely didn't count it or expect them out at 37 weeks

I have three kids born in june, one july, one in feb, the feb one is five and in the past i have got her a wee present in june after the other kids birthdays and before the last one, not as a birthday present too but a wee treat, shes a good girl and doesnt expect presents, and its never a big one.
Acting like it is the other kids birthday too, thats just weird, and confusing for them both
