Taina Licciardo-Toivola

how many times do we have to watch them in the snow tbh

They are running their vlogs into the ground. I don't mind a vacation being split up into 2 vlogs, but she is being ridiculous with the last few vlogs, and their views reflect this.

I was watching her vlogs but I havent watched for a couple of months now since they're so monotonous now... she needs to stop dragging things out and switch things up every once in a while. Probably the most extreme rise and drop I've ever seen a channel go through!

Someone asked about their actual last name and whether it was smith or toivola and from looking at Jenna’s Facebook friends I think Toivola is Taina’s maiden name and they just mixed them together as a sort of stage name. Also I’m glad other people realize how repetitive their videos have gotten. I also hate think fans hate their upload schedule. They will post videos everyday for a week and then disappear for 2-3 weeks and it’s kind of annoying that there’s no regularity. The mom says she doesn’t watch any other youtubers but I wish she did so that they can take notes because they are honestly so boring and monotonous on camera. I am also so sick of their creepy scripted comments on each others posts. I don’t think they realize that people were drawn to them for the spectacle, but it gets old pretty soon. I honestly think their channel could thrive if it wasn’t so fake all the time. She reiterated that she doesn’t make her kids do things but it’s so obvious that they do crazy stuff to make her happy.

Also to go along, her videos are like 3 30 min videos put into parts. So so boring. She needs to learn to edit them

[celestialll]

Why are the last few videos just thumbnails of her face? I won't even watch them anymore, they are so boring and dry, and everything she says about their life and the kids is a humble brag.

[Liz_444]

You can tell viewers are losing interest fast. I know I haven't bothered watching the last few. She needs to move on from their winter vacation.
As someone mentioned, she needs to watch other vloggers for ideas. Her scripted voice and the kids standing around not knowing what to say is SO BORING. She use to gets tons of views but I think most people are tired of the same things....kids dressed alike, not acting like kids, and her boring monotone voice will put anyone to sleep!

[lizpuff2006]

She got a huge boost from YT putting her on the main page with a clickbait title of 10 kids! but once that was over all the videos are so monotonous and there is no excitement in them at all

She also puts in all those silly sound effects that you hear on kids yt videos and I hate that

Plus the Omega spam. The kid is not cute. I don't need to see him anymore.

[Charleston3]

Oh gosh I always skipped through the omega spam. That’s stuff she should keep for family purposes no one wants to watch that

[Charleston3]

This morning she announced they were doing introduction videos, and sadly she’s stretching it out so that they all have their own video. She could at least post two a day because that is going to stretch out for days and I doubt they’ll be that interesting.

[Dibs]

She is bizarre. Why is she posting a video where main title is how they dress when they go out in the cold and then speed through that whole bit with no commentary and the rest of the video is just extremely boring children playing inside? Does she not get that people who requested that may have wanted some actual tips how to dress their kids for playing in the snow, good brands and whatnot? Not everyone is familiar with this stuff and Nordic children's outdoor clothing brands are very good and practical.

I honestly think they’re just pumping out videos. When I first saw the sped through version of the kids getting dressed I thought it was just a preview and that she would come back to it later. But it was just another one of their pointless videos made just so they can get content up. If they aren’t going to put their all into the channel their not going to be this popular for long.

[SnarkySam]

I can’t watch her at all - her cult like voice gives me the creeps

They use to get hundreds and hundreds of views. Now they barely get over 100k. Nobody wants to see the same damn thing over and over. These videos are several months old too. Stretching out videos to make money will only work short term. Most people have moved on to more interesting videos.

I watched the video introducing Aphrodite and I nearly slept halway through it.
I can't. She's sooo controlling, when she's sitting at the table with Jerusalem and Cleopatra and another child the older ones seem so awkward, like they're afraid to say or do something they're not supposed to. They barely dared to breathe, they just sat there being very cautious about not moving their hair.
Taina just red the questions and I think it was Romeo who had to answer them, he probably knows Aphrodite better than their own mom. But it was weird, and when he said something Taina kept overexplaining the same shit he said, like we got it, you don't need to keep explaining the same simple thing over and over. Does she think her viewers are dumb or what? We understood what he said the first time.
Aphrodite kept saying "breakdance" as if they tried before the video to make her say it at some point when asked about her favourite hobby or whatever and she kept saying the same word. Big fail.

[Lyanna]

Also what in the world was she trying to say about Aphrodite being confident EVEN IF she's a girl? First of all, that's stupid, girls can be strong and confident, she was obviously thinking girls are supposed to be delicate and graceful and a little bit afraid of doing risky things. Is living in the 20s or what?
And she said "if she was not homeschooled, in a school yard, and there was a bully, SHE would be the bully. ... She would be the one to take care of the bully". So which is it, Taina? Is your daughter a bully or someone who protects people against bullies? And why are you even calling your 2 yo a potential bully? ... great parenting there.

In the latest video she says that Kingjames loves dinosaurs and that he “thought they were real too” ... it does not sound like she’s joking....

And in the KingJames video Jerusalem’s laughs were so fake and awkward

In another video she said “the earth is only 6000 years old not like what other people think” so I wasn’t surprised when she said that.

Also it’s so obvious that the little ones are more attached to their buddy than their mom. I’ve watched all of their vlogs and have only heard each of them call her mom or ever ask for her once or twice. Especially Kingjames anytime he is upset or anything he reaches straight for Jerusalem. And poor Shakespeare is very obviously going through middle child syndrome and it seems as though she never pays attention to him. I can’t remember what video I was watching but he comes out of nowhere and says “hello mum” and she basically ignores him to record the little ones. Also I know I can’t be the only one baffled and annoyed that whenever one of the kids is hurt or something she simply says “I can’t help them I’m holding the camera” like not everything in your life needs to be recorded put the camera down and be a proper mum to your children.
