Quite a while ago maybe close to two years ago now when I first began watching one of Janelle's relatives got into something about how she cares for the kids in the comments mostly about the food rationing and that's when Janelle began this hyper-focus on how HEALTHY they eat and how much they eat from the garden. Yet, what do we see? Cream of soups in the crockpot and bread pizza.
I remember that comment about the small amount of food Janelle puts on the table. Aunt Laura.

I agree. I've heard John say several times he's hungry. "I'll eat it". - which Janelle quickly dismissed by saying "John is always hungry". Probably so, he's a teenaged boy.
She won't give the kids enough to eat and the eats her mom only chocolate in front of them while they watch. This woman also rations toilet paper. I cannot imagine the state of the little kids' underwear poor charity probably washes.
Granted I have mom only chocolate but I eat it after the kids go to bed [since my kids have a bed time] while I watch YouTube in peace.
I agree. We have 5 kids and they eat a TON. Janelle likes to play the “we eat such healthy, nutritious, high quality food that they just don’t need as much to eat”. Sure Janelle. I won’t lie and say we’re health freaks but we eat 3 meals a day at home, we TRY to do minimal processed/junk foods. There are quite a few ingredients we avoid all together. But my kids are still hungry a lot.
The commented that said Janelle is stuck at age 18, that totally makes sense! She actually lives a very privileged life and definitely does what she wants a lot. I wonder if Charity gets annoyed with it or if it’s just all she knows and she doesn’t question it. The oldest 2 definitely never have a happy look on their faces.
I think those kids (particularly the older two) are quite unhappy, but because they have no life experience outside the home, they would really have no idea why they feel that way. They must have a sense of wanting something more, but they really wouldn't be able to pinpoint what that something more might be.
Perhaps when they are older and (hopefully) get outing the world a bit they will see what they have been missing. They could quite possible end up resenting their parents for it.
The oldest boy is more likely to get to leave than Charity. Charity will be expected to stay home and be live-in Nanny to all those little kids until her parents finally admit they have too many kids or she cannot physically have more kids one or the other.
Off they go to yet another Estate Sale! Why do they keep buying things? They are supposed to be decluttering, not adding to their mess. They really are addicted to this. And how many plastic bags do they have to get rid of?? Every time they go shopping they take bags and bags full of them. They must have had hundreds. That house must have really been in one huge mess before they started cleaning!
Yes! Even though Janelle was playing the reluctant card “our FRIENDS wanted us to go to the sale”, she’s always giddy for this stuff. That house and sale was very.....odd. I wouldn’t want my family members house shown if it was so run down. Well, actually I wouldn’t want it shown at all. And, so true! Why so many bags? Isn’t she using all her super special 31 bags for shopping? I thought they used reusable, that was a ton of bags.
My favorite cooking vlogger (she can actually cook and buys real food) The Queen's Cabinet, ran into Art and Janelle and the kids at her parent's fancy timeshare on Lake Placid over Mother's Day weekend. It was fun to see them on someone else's camera.
Okay, this family is too damn weird. Even with John and Art's autistic presentation, Janelle is the worst by far.
Why have so many kids that she can't even stand?
Kids aren't dumb its soo clear between the way Art nurtures and engages them and how Janelle just 'puts up with them'. Seriously there's no positive to having them at home all day.
Oh but you enjoy your all expense paid holiday to the Bahamas because clearly you worked hard pushing those bags.
All I'm wondering is when Charity's break going to start. hmmm
Charity won't get a break until she gets married .... probably at a very young age to someone that her parents approve of. ie: someone who is just like them.
So once again Janelle buys herself a treat and not the kids (although I noticed they did get a packet of Oreos to share as a family ... I don't doubt that Janelle will get her full share of those). She very clearly says that she bough some junk food for only HERSELF in the latest shopping trip ... some brownies. Poor kids will most likely have to sit and watch her eat those.

I get parents can have stuff sometimes and their kids don’t get it but I feel guilty sometimes when I do! Maybe it’s not healthy but most times I hide it so they don’t know and then I eat it when they’re in bed or not around. Lol. Not that I NEVER tell them “no”. Sometimes I’ll say at a drivethru “I’m just getting a drink and nothing else”. I certainly couldn’t always treat myself and never them.
The level of petty to have to lord it over children let alone your own children that you're having a special treat that they can't have and they aren't getting many treats.
I don't think there is anything particularly bad about having your own special treats hidden (especially when the kids are young and don't know any better). I think everyone needs their own special things at times. But what I object to is the way in which Janelle does it. she quite openly says "that's is MY treat" and I've seen her numerous times eat it in front of the kids who are obviously wanting it.
Has anyone else noticed Janelle's use of the personal pronoun when referring to family activities or possessions. It is usually I'VE never done this instead of saying WE'VE never done this ... or MY bedroom or MY garden. It is never OURS. I've noticed it constantly and I think it is indicative of the way she thinks all the time. It is HER that comes first and no one else.
Exactly most parents have things separate from their kids but usually, we don't feel the need to let them know. Maybe if these kids had a proper bedtime or they didn't always have to go out as an entire family she could have special treats and nobody would even have to know.
Didn't you realize Janelle is the most important one?
For sure, I totally agree. I would NEVER get a treat and then joyfully eat it while my children watch me. Eeek. That doesn’t sit well with me. I’m going to have to pay attention more to her use of “MY garden” or “MY bedroom”. Her kids put a ton of work into that garden. As well as Art. Even when they’re not directly working on it I’ll bet Charity is making a meal or helping with “little girls” so Janelle can twaddle in the garden. The garden is definitely an effort on ALL their parts.
