BumpsAlongTheWay FAQs

Unread post by **actuallydear** » Sun Apr 10, 2016 5:21 pm

Okay, so as per another thread I thought of creating a timeline and updated FAQ, because we are having a lot of new people asking questions and sometimes older members have to go searching for things in order to provide factual time frames and information. So today, I'm beginning work on a timeline, it's a long process but I think (hope!) it will be beneficial to the forum and make things easier to search or reference.

If anyone has anything they should definitely be added in the FAQ, please feel free to message me, so I'm not leaving anything important out.

Ask any questions you may have about Bryan and Missy, and answer any commonly asked questions you see in the general thread. If you can supply a link to go along with your answer (YouTube video, comment screenshot, twitter, Facebook, etc.), please do.

So a few FAQ's I know off the top of my head:
Do they live with their parents?
Yes. Bryan, Missy, and Oliver live with Missy's parents, brother, and sister. Bryan gets very offended at the assertion that they live with their parents, as they live together in a "multigenerational household" (lmao).
Bryan and Missy divorced?
Yes. You can refer to their "DRAW OUR RELATIONSHIP" video to get the whole story. Cliffnotes: They married young, broke up shortly after, divorced, then reconciled.
What do they do for a living?
They don't work. Missy had a job at their local Chamber of Commerce, but quit when she went on maternity leave. Bryan's work history is a little shady. He worked as a server for years, then worked with a church to produce videos and stuff. He worked from home, then worked in an office. He stopped working around the time of Oliver's birth.

I'm new here not too sure how it works but have so many questions! Can I ask here?

Cool thanks! I just found her vlog and watched a few of them and something quickly seemed very off about these two so....
How tall is Bryan? Has he ever addressed that he is clearly gay?
Is missy a bit.... Dim? Has she said anything about being pregnant with 4 boys in a row? Also why does she reference Finns birth without explaining so frequently. We aren't there missy! We don't know what you are talking about!
How are they so popular? Every vid seems like click bait!
And after watching a vid here and there do they have ever changing personal style or just no style and copy someone else?
I was so excited for a fun cute family to watch but there is something just off about these two! Thanks for taking the time to talk with me

I'll do my best to answer some of these

There's a lot of speculation here on the forums about Bryan being gay. A while back there were rumors that Bryan was posting on craigslist looking for sex with men. The description matched him but there's no clear proof. But you can see in the vlogs that he tries really hard to convince the viewers that he's attracted to Missy.

There's been a lot of drama over gender disappointment for Missy. She really wants a daughter and you can see her immense GD when they found out Finn was a boy and to a lesser extent, when they found out Oliver's gender. The general consensus here is that she'll keep trying until she gets a girl.

What do you mean about Finn's birth? You can watch his birth vlog and it may help with context when she's talking about it.

Clickbait is part of what makes them popular... people click on BABY TRAPPED IN A WATERPARK because they want to see a crazy video and then they get trapped into minionism. They started their vlogs to talk about their losses and now they cater to preteens who come in vast numbers.

They try really hard to be "beachy california hipster" but will grab onto the latest trend and copy other youtubers. There's a comparison thread where you can read about how all the vloggers copy each other.

I'm still working on the FAQ here and there. Hope to be done soon, before the next influx of minions!

Thanks! I didn't realize she made a birth vlog for Finn where she discussed things more. I watched the one where she talked about it some but not a play by play. Sounds like it was physically and emotionally traumatic. But she seemed so set on doing a vbac and finding a team who would assist in that when it might not have been possible.

Bryan screams gay like the minute I first watched him. That restrained flamboyancy. Poor guy! Maybe he's just expressive lol. I hope he's not gay that would be miserable for all involved.

Maybe their third will be a girl? I get that she or they might be disappointed about all boys but you can't chase a daughter forever. My old boss was one of 8 and they were all boys!

Not sure if you know since they're "over it" and don't mention it anymore. If they get pregnant again it will be their 5th pregnancy. All of them have been boys. The first two were unfortunately miscarried. Scientifically, there's still an equal chance the next could be a girl but so far it looks like Bry only makes boys.

Yeah I knew. We will have to wait and see if they have a third. They can always adopt or semen sort if they wanted to be guaranteed a girl.

How tall are they? Well I know they are short, but just how short?

Are there screenshots of this gay sex solicitation thing? How did those get uncovered (or what sent people looking)? Is there a thread where all this happened?

It was talked about in the threads when it happened, I don't know which one. Ollie was just an infant when it happened I believe, if that helps at all.

There's a website called Liarsandcheaters.com that has more information about it, but it's obviously not a reliable source. You just search Bryan Lanning. If you want more details than that, there is more in the earlier threads.

Honestly just search Bryan lanning gay in Google and it's the top two results.

I vaguely recall Bryan saying he was 5'7" (maybe 5'9").
Missy is either 5' or 5'1".
Jim and Jimmy are around the same as Bryan, give or take an inch or two. Suzanne and Cassie are both under 5'.

Thanks everyone! I found it! I've been reading on the bumps for a year now and have seen that talked about on numerous occasions. Glad to finally know what people were talking about!

I was looking at the liars and cheaters page again (there's a lot of new comments) and I saw this. Could there be any truth to this?! Could Missy be a bisexual?

Does Missy's dad work?

And, what grade/schooling is Cassie in?

What does Jimmy do?

ActuallyDear--can you include this in your FAQ? This is the "pool test" video we reference a lot. It's"Counting Contractions" from Sept 14, 2015. Starts around 5:00 in.
