GQS | From Dirt Poor, To Donuts Galore | Part 28

[ItIsSunny]

I FF through the entire vlog. I’m over NA and the sand stuff, doing hair, watching these kids spin in circles. It’s not cute anymore. The littles in the bedroom talking was the only part remotely interesting. It seemed like it was just Esme speaking, and at first she was yelling and if you listen closely, you can hear the heavies screaming for daddy.
Esme is actually yelling in half of her “talk” and it’s not cute. You can also hear the heavies banging on something yelling. They need to teach their kids that bedtime is time for quiet, but they have lost sight of that and so many other things.

This shit is SOOOOOO boring. 40 minutes of videoing them playing and doing the same stuff over and over is just plain stupid. And boring. And this is the boring crap that makes it in the vlog. Imagine all the crap that doesn't make it.

There is such fascination to be had with each and every child as they grow, when one looks & listens to experience the world through the child's eyes. The Gardners have such an incredible opportunity to enjoy that miraculous experience times four and they are blowing it off. I can't even imagine giving away such gifts. It amazes me that they can't see that the beauty & growth of each child is the best Vlog material.

I don't think they actually take the time to enjoy any experiences in life. They literally are just looking for footage for their next vlog. I find that whenever I video my kids during a performance during preschool or other things that I'm not fully in the moment. And I think so much is lost when you're just staring at whatever device you're using to videotape the experience. Put the damn phones/cameras down and live in the moment.

The Busbys posted a lovely little 3 day series of a trip they made to Austin and it was so sweet and enjoyable. It was like watching a friend’s homemade vacation movies. That is what is missing from 90% of youtube these days. They let their kids be kids with really nice results.

Exactly! If two stay-at-home parents have a nanny, that means each parent could have regular one-on-one time with each child. They could have time to build a puzzle with just one, or go somewhere special with just her. Children this age are a delight when they are allowed to shine. They love to have conversations with their parents and they can be such a hoot. I think one challenge for parents of multiples would be getting that one-to-one time. Think of the variety of things A and T could do---oh, right. Nothing educational, nothing without sweet treats, nothing that can't be filmed.

Honestly, they could have interesting activities and lots of one-on-one time even without the nanny since they are both home.

Kids grow up so fast. I remember thinking the days went slowly but the weeks flew by when mine were small and a lot of work. Every day I made time to do something with each child. I paid them lots of attention---I did not want to miss a minute. These dodos are missing years they will not get back.

I've been mostly MIA for awhile due to various personal reasons, but I casually looked at the PriceAss's LipShit business page. For standard shipping it's almost $8. Most of the products she sells don't weigh enough to justify $8. And the heavier stuff could be tossed in a flat rate box and still be less than $8. I know you've all said it before, but she us totally scamming people and sees NOTHING wrong with any/all of it.

Glad you are back! Hoping things are ok with you and wishing you peace!

They just posted some Christmas pictures that Lonnie Smith took. Why the hell are they taking Christmas pictures in July 4?? What’s the point?

I do not recognize that window at their house. Is she at church doing an infomercial?
On her sell the shit IG, what is she whispering about? I only caught something about she is all packed, but 'worried' about something. I didn't catch that part. She's asking for advice for some BS thing. I guess she wasn't that worried about what the hell she was thinking about before going to sleep, because next photo is her all smiles on the plane... No Problem... What a phoney...

Maybe they got them free in exchange for her being able to use them as advertisement....or, maybe she didn’t want to deal with them during her busy season.

I have a really bad impression of Loni after she totally lied, and tried to cover her terrible photo shop job on the last pics by saying that Indie was taller than the rest of the girls. Her photos are also so unnatural and photoshopped in general.

'Supposedly'... according to the Greedners, Loni approached them about needing 'models' for a shoot (I am sure they wished they were actual models. Haven't heard or seen anyone pounding on their front statement door or calling them on their 'loopycase' phones for that action, not going to happen Greedners, so accept it..)
So now they have some Christmas photos of the girls for this year.. Who wants to make a wager that was not good enough and they will do more, will want more towards Christmas? I will take that bet...

[lmmomSD]

"it's too expensive to take the girls to The Lagoon" Everyone and their brother knows that's a lie. Why does she keep using cost that as a flimsy excuse to exclude the girls from things? It's getting old. Same lie over and over. #hooktube

Unfortunately, Hooktube now gives vloggers views. Not sure if they still get paid for those views, but they get the credit now.

Why would the want more pics in the exact same dresses? They have a dozen swim suits each, but no new dresses for their Christmas pics? They have the weirdest priorities.

If they weren't such greedy scamming jerks, I would almost feel sorry for them for all that they are missing out on. And the worst part is that they are missing out _on purpose_. They hired a nanny when they don't need one, they didn't take the girls to WDW, they escape their "miracles" every chance they get. It's not like they have to work and miss out because of that. It's just sad for all of them. But I don't feel bad for them because they are doing it to themselves.

My guess is Loni has a trunk of dresses in her studio.

Theres only one reason any parent gets away without their children as much as the gardners do is because they don't want to be with their children. Since we have figured them out, they give stupid excuses like something being too expensive to take their children to yet they buy stuff they don't need or put their children last for anything like a playroom or decorating the kids bedrooms, etc...
It's so incredibly obvious. Priorities are backwards and selfish.
