I'm not going to watch anymore of these pregnancy-titled clickbait videos. How long can they drag this on? What if it takes them 6+ months to conceive their next? Surely they can't come up with that many pregnancy-related vlog titles. It doesn't look like they're going to get a house anytime soon, either, but I'm sure they'll throw in a bunch of house-related titles too, although it's only a matter of time before people lose interest. They really do nothing all day except whine about wanting a house, do they?

They’ll throw infertility in there to drum up views.
He’s using pregnancy in the titles even when it’s only mentioned for a minute.

Well, Corby, I don't think you need to worry about winning a Nobel Peace Prize OR saving a life...how about worry about finding a JOB. LOL!

Didn't Kelsey have a good friend in Boise who was in her wedding party and pregnant around the time she was pregnant?? I thought she was at the baby shower. You'd think Kelsey would hang out with other mom friends...but I agree that Corbin probably doesn't let her.

I wonder why they haven't mentioned Puerto Rico in weeks. You'd think they'd get that sorted so people (if there really are people going) could make their travel arrangements. Most people don't have every day off like they do. I know I need to plan my vacation time well in advance.

I've noticed that soon after we mention something here they make a vlog mentioning it. So I expect an update on PR this week. LOL!!

I know these videos are clickbait (and bad clickbait at that...), but every single one of these videos should be named “TTC AND....” not pregnant!!! Kelsey is not and and was not pregnant! They can still capture the audience they are interested in by using “TTC” but come across as a lot more honest. This will backfire eventually when people realize after the 20th time she’s still not pregnant. Their subs will definitely grow tired of that nonsense. No one is going to pay attention when they are actually pregnant because it’ll be like the boy who cried wolf.

Exactly. I scrolled through the comments and people are even asking if she's pregnant or not. It's sort of awful to lead people on and have them think she's pregnant when she's clearly not.I think it is already backfiring on them because the "thumbs downs" are growing in number—especially on the pregnancy clickbait vlogs.

Know what else pisses me off about these assholes? They clearly use that front room they "renovated" as THEIR space to have in her mom's house. They only updated those 2 rooms for their own selfishness. They claimed they were going to renovate the house, room by room. but once they did their rooms, they never had any intention of putting anymore work into that house. Now her poor mom has 2 random ass rooms, and nothing will ever be done in the rest of the house. Not to mention, I bet the mom paid for the materials. ALSO not to mention, they took over the other room with all of junes gigantic toys. It just looks like they've taken over that house as if it's theirs. They are such bums.

With how much Corbin is a dick and often overspeaks his wife... makes you wonder how much verbal abuse is going on behind the scenes...

Obviously I don't know what goes on when they turn off the camera, but the person I now see pushing so hard for a second baby is actually Kelsey. Maybe she thinks it will "fix" something in their marriage or their channel, maybe she's just lonely and bored and looking for something to fixate on. While Corbin seemed to want a second sooner than she did, I think she's now the one obsessing and in the driver's seat on this one.

She got the IUD out. She seemed super excited to start actively trying. I think she was all about the ovulation tests and trying to do it "by the book" as Corbin said, and I think he told her to relax, hence their sudden "we're going to let it happen when it's meant to happen" shift. But I don't think she could do that, and thus the freakout over a light period and the run to the midwife. Even Corbin suggested it was her body adjusting to not having the IUD. Now she's rushing to wean. Her little monologues to the camera indicate to me that she's the one paranoid about getting pregnant ASAP. Corbin actually seems pretty nonchalant, but at the same time totally willing to exploit his wife's neurosis for clickbait. She just seems genuinely desperate to announce a pregnancy for whatever reason.

I think he’s happy as he gets attention either way. He can click bait with either “Baby #2” or “infertility”, both work in his favour. However, as someone else pointed out, it seems all the onus of getting pregnant with “Son of Corbin” is on Kelsey, and behind the scenes he’s probably going on at her with a lot more of the bullshit about how she’s probably not fertile, and how it took them years to get pregnant with June, and she’s feeling anxious and inadequate because she didn’t get pregnant immediately. Never mind the possibility that Corbin’s swimmers may not be all that flash, the entire burden is on Kelsey

Ah, doormat Kelsey strikes again. She wanted Tea for Two ( thank God they didn't pick this as it is our theme lol) but Corbin says no because it is too girly.. so they chose his theme.

Someone on this thread literally said they’d start spamming us with videos about her birthday for the next 3 months. YOU. CALLED. IT. These two are SO predictable.

I was pissed off on behalf of their mom when they where letting June play with their mom’s board game the other day “for hours”. A toddler will destroy a game with a bunch of paper money. She has a ton of toys, leave your moms things alone. One day she’s going to opens up that game and find a bunch of missing and crunched up pieces because Corbin thought it was cute to let her play with it.

Are these two FOR REAL? They spent how much time planning a theme for a 2nd birthday party that's two months away? FFS! They have too much free time.

Also, I could PUNCH Corbin for whining that the theme had to be gender neutral because there are "male relatives" invited. No one CARES!!!!!!! It's not like I'm going to boycott my nephew's birthday party because it's football themed! (Not that only boys like football, just an example.) I just think Corbin is totally NUTS. Is he going to be that dad who never lets her have a Barbie or American Girl doll?

Kelsey is really, really losing herself lately. I thought she said she "found her voice" last year...but I think she's really struggling now. I think the doormat thing is a survival skill and how she keeps Corbin sort of under control. I agree that off camera he's a nightmare to deal with.

Not only that, June has her own room that they've never shown on camera. They've literally taken over her mom's house completely. I bet her mom just stays in her own room and avoids Corbin. I bet she wants them out and her house back.

If I remember correctly June's room is also the storage room.

Yeah, honestly I don’t think the grandma(kels mom) cares much about a $10 board game. It’s one thing if it was a strangers stuff but, it’s literally June’s Grandma. Not saying it makes it right but I really don’t think she cares that much.

Oh, I didn't know that. I guess that's why they never show her room.

Her mom's house is pretty small, so I'm guessing things are getting pretty tense in that small of a space.

That doesn't make sense. Because they were all about gender neutrality before June was born, but now they dress her all "girly".
I guess he's reading here again and saw us calling him out on it, and that's why he's all about it again.
I think he's totally giving Kelsey a bad time off camera about not getting pregnant right away. As has been said, he could have slow swimmers, but of course it's gotta be Kelsey's fault.

I remember vaguely when they were talking about the sleeping arrangements they mentioned June would be sharing a room with storage basically. Because having a crib in their room which was already small wouldn't be reasonable to them. Morons.

On the one hand I totally get the anxiety, because when you decide you want a baby, you want to get pregnant right away. But these two are essentially homeless with no job prospects besides a dying channel that is dependent on fake pregnancy clickbait. They need to get their finances in order, get a real source of income, and support the child they already have. I think it has to do with Kelsey having no real identity or life of her own- no real friends, no career, etc. She’s measuring her self-worth by her ability to procreate. She has nothing to do all day, no fulfilling relationships (even her poor mom seems to have vacated her own house), so she obsesses over getting pregnant. She has way too much time on her hands.

I dislike Corbin, but I don’t see anything to indicate that he’s telling Kelsey she’s infertile or that she needed to get pregnant in the first two months of trying. I got the impression Corbin is taking a back seat on this one for once. He didn’t seem that into the ovulation tests, didn’t know how they worked, and he seemed to think she was getting too regimented and worked up over the whole thing. A second pregnancy may provide a bump to their channel, but it will also be more work and will take more time and attention away from Corbin’s main priority, which is Corbin.

While I think it’s ridiculous to veto a second birthday party theme for your daughter because it’s too “girly,” I also think the “tea for two” theme was more for Kelsey than it was for their daughter. June doesn’t drink tea and she might not be into playing with a tea set. If their daughter likes her stuffed cat, an animal theme makes sense. But changing it from “kitty” to zoo animals because it’s somehow less “girly” and more suitable for male party guests is absurd.
