Gardner Quad Squad: Durls, Dollars and Donits | Part 3

[Merikat]

Yes, the speech issue is definitely the major concern for me. The ability to communicate affects so much other learning! It's just so very sad....
And I couldn't stand to be close to or hold such big kids with smell, gross, urine and feces soaked diapers. It would greatly impact my willingness to interact with them at this point.

None of my boys were toilet trained until close to or a bit over three. My daughter was 2.5. I don't think in isolation that them not being toilet trained is a huge deal. What is a huge deal is that they are still in cots, despite climbing out, they speak to them like they are babies, they still until recently had pacis and bottles (and perhaps still do).

Then the flip side is that safety wise they act as though the girls are invincible and feed them like they are college frat boys.

They still get pacifiers at bed time. Have not seen a bottle lately. Last week on a v'log they showed them at night and a couple mouths definitely plugged up

Thanks snarky lady. I haven't been able to watch a whole vlog in over a week so I wasn't sure.

You are not alone. I find myself fast forwarding through a lot of it but will stop and replay certain things like wakey wakey or good night lol. I need to clarify something though. I am not so concerned about the potty training and a few other little things. It is the apparent disregard the parents have in making sure the girls reach their full potential that really bothers me

[Premmie101]

My kids were mostly fully trained by 2 1/2. My youngest the 28 weeker was day trained at 2 1/2 but nearer 3 for night trained. My grandson turned 2 last month. He hasn't really started training yet but he will pee in the toilet before he hops in the bath. It's winter here in Australia and my daughter is waiting for warmer weather to start training. I expect it won't take her long to catch on.
He is still in a cot but has shown no signs of climbing out so once again she is waiting for it to warm up before taking him out. His older sister on the other hand was climbing out at 18 months (same as her mother, my daughter) and they were both in beds from then on.
As for their speech. The fact you can't understand Evie saying her name is concerning. It's not that hard. I did notice Indie appropriately answering a question with a yes instead of just repeating what was asked. She seems to be the one ahead at this point. I can feel frustration becoming a huge problem in the coming months.
Oh and yeah why bother showing us the donut run at all today really. It wasn't necessary so maybe they are sponsored

Exactly! All kids are different. What makes me crazy is how these girls are treated. T$A act as though these girls have no brains! They never challenge them or try to teach them anything. The girls are raising themselves and they act like it. Law of the jungle. Strongest wins. Smaller ones get whatever they can.

Why would you let them climb all over the table they are supposedly"cleaning"? Show them how to wipe down the chairs and other surfaces they can reach. Parents set an example by showing the girls what to do.
I know, I know... I forget who I'm talking about. T$A are slobs and incapable of setting a good example.

Honestly, at this point i am becoming numb to the usual crap.

And I know this makes me a terrible person, but I wish A had flown off the trampoline right into T requiring extended hospital stays for both of them. The girls would have to be cared for by others and I would have cheered!

All the things people have mentioned here are so frustrating.
Another thing that's becoming a major issue for me is them not allowing the girls any rights to a sense of self. Definitely, as someone recently suggested, mark items with individual girl's names! Allow each to "own" some things! To have individual likes and dislikes, preferences.
How can they ever learn respect for others if they receive no respect themselves???

Regarding CRAP jumping onto the trampoline... she definitely does not have endometriosis or excruciating female pain The jarring would double her over. Not surprised though since they think no one remembers their lies.
Stellaboo I think you are right that is the kid they call Tuna and she probably just turned 3 And she seems tall for her age but then CRAP's side of the family is tall with a bigger physique. My problem is not so much she is in diapers but that all she had on was the diaper and no pants. The other kids even the little boys had on little outfits

Actually, I suffer from endo and fibroids as well, and I would have been fine jumping on to the trampoline.
The pain is only bad when I am menstruating - which is very typical in most cases. And it goes through cycles where it gets either worse or better. The majority of the time I am perfectly fine and very active. I've had surgery twice, and the damn stuff destroyed one of my tubes and caused adhesions to my bladder. I didn't think I'd ever get pregnant - which is why I was 40 when my kid was born. It wasn't planned, but I wouldn't change a thing! (Sorry if that's TMI, ha ha)

One of the things my doctors told me from the beginning was that getting pregnant is the best way to cure it.
So it's possible that dumbAss had problems before she was pregnant and they got better after the girls were born.

She's still a big fat stupid liar, but I just wanted to let you know that endometriosis is not usually a completely debilitating disease.
It sucks big hairy balls, and it's inconvenient as hell, but most women learn to live with it.

I know we only see 20 a day but during that 20 minutes all the girls do is graze. They have something edible in their hands 80% of the time. So if they sleep from 7 pm to 8 am. Nap 12 pm to 2 or 3. They are only up demolishing things 7-8 hours a day The amount of food we see them eat in 20 minutes is more than a lot of people eat all day. I'm sure they are riding around in the car a couple hours a day
Now has anyone noticed TyASSon has not mentioned the PO lately?? Could it be the questions brought up about what he does with the girls when he goes in????? He seemed to stop mentioning the PO when the Binghams started v'logging their trips there!!!! Do you see how far they walk and the number of keys and boxes and the amount of time it takes???? I think he still goes daily and still leaves the girls a lone while he goes in. Another neglect

[Sandocan]

Thanks for the review of today's vlog guys! How can these people eat so many gross looking doughnuts every other day?

Regarding the diapers. My oldest daughter will be 4 soon and she's still in daipers. Not because we haven't tried to potty train but because she doesn't fully understand what she is supposed to do and because she is non-verbal. My youngest is 2 and she knows what she is supposed to do but refuses to potty train because she doesn't want to go to the bathroom all the time. She will actually give me a diaper to put on her so she doesn't have to stop playing and go potty. So the older girl being in a diaper I can understand. The FF however, have showed signs of being ready and they haven't even tried so that's a totally different thing.

Your situation is completely different with your 4 year old and I do not know how I would handle a situation like that. The fact is you have tried and it may be the attention she gets with you spending time trying that is causing your younger daughter to not be so interested in it. We never know what is going on in their minds lol

[Snarky Lady]

Thanks Stellaboo for clarifying That!

[lovethispage]

Boring boring vlog. They're on a roll with these boring vlogs. Now I know some of you don't care for the Binghams but I tell you if he filmed their day he could have turned that vlog into something mountable for sure.

Oh and a shout out to Old Country, I saw the cannonball assback picture. So far it's been the highlight of my day. Keep in mind I'm on the west coast so its earlier for me...

Come on Greedners give us some mountable material

[Snarky Lady]

Every time I see that pic of TyASSon's cannonball it makes me laugh and better yet I laugh more when I imagine the Greedners reaction to seeing it and the fact that they have become so popular on this site lol

[Krouton]

Coming to you with the daily observation of the Greedner's v'log
Not a lot to report other than another lame v'log. Tub Man sitting in the drive through of surprise DAYLIGHT DONUTS lol........His family is having a yard sale and it was his responsibility to provide breakfast so another surprise it was a box of donuts. My thought is maybe they were going to sell off some of those shoes blocking the entrance at Grandma Jodie's house. No v'logging there but turned back over to CRAP where she is lounging around the living room while the FFTYO demolish the place. She proceeds to tell us today is day two of the family reunion. Tub Man brings home lunch dayum do these people ever eat at home with the exception of treats??? Girls on top of the table cleaning hmmmm yeah right. Evidently the girls are too unruly for them to spend much time there so they have to have their caged in naps and then Tub Man will bring them to the cookout.
I need to mention we got several views of the bigger little girl in a diaper, I guess they wanted to make sure we saw a child bigger than the FFTYO wearing diapers. Same old v'logs kids running around not really anything cute.

Needless to say I was not impressed with today's v'log except the fact they did not wait until late afternoon to post it. Over and out!!!

I missed the older child in diapers but she might have developmental delays and has not been successful at potty training yet. or she just has lazy parents.

[Krouton]

I believe the older kid in the diaper is the one they call Tuna. She's their cousin.
Do you guys remember how old she is? Because I recall a discussion saying that she was less than a year older than the quads.
Not that it's an excuse. A child that big in a diaper is ridiculous!
The FF are definitely doomed to sit in their own feces and urine until they are at least 5.

The vlog today was incredibly boring. Two things stood out to me though.
The first was when the FF were walking on the table and "cleaning" it.
They had their dirty bare feet all over it! Gross.

The second was when Tyrant told Evie multiple times that she was SO smart for playing with a toy meant for 1 year olds.
My friend's son just turned 1 and he got that exact same toy as a gift. (Those colored rings that spin)
He already figured out how to do precisely what Evie was doing. So no Tyrant, she's NOT a genius for spinning a ring back and forth.
The girls are going to grow up to be so entitled if they keep getting praised for doing nothing.

Oh, and once again we saw that Scarlett and Evie absolutely cannot pronounce their own names.
Ass tried to interpret for us, but neither of them said anything that sounded remotely like Evie or Scarlett.
Sigh.................

Tuna is 10 months older than the quads.

My little girl was non verbal when I potty trained her. i just started with a potty schedule and underwear instead of having her tell me. She would play ipad on the potty for 10 minutes every hour, then 2 hours and get an m&m when she went. Then she eventually started going when she wanted to. They don't like to feel the wet when underwear won't absorb most of it. Just an FYI.

[Snarky Lady]

I would never say anything about a child with any type of problems that would stop or slow them down from developing daily as their piers. All children are different. My point is the v'log sure made it a point to show she had on a diaper This was a family reunion and from experience I dressed my kids cute but comfortable to see family we ordinarily do not see. I just thought it odd she was only dressed in a diaper and tee shirt when even the little boys were in cute matching outfits and I did feel like it was pointed out by the Greedners

[Aussie Sapphire]

My issue with them still in diapers is that they always look full! If you don't want to toilet train, then don't. But be prepared to change the diapers when they need! No wonder those girls walk with a waddle! Their diapers are around their knees and must eat a tonne!
