And now you are suggesting that they don't look presentable and neat like "pretty little girls do". I really don't think girls have to be "pretty little girls" and have to look neat and presentable. I really don't. I prefer a more normal/natural look to being a dolled up. Kids should run around, jump, play, explore and not care about looking presentable.Happy Mommy 319 wrote:I should clarify myself. I don’t think they’re ugly. I meant pretty as in they never have their hair fixed or wear nice clothes. I have a huge problem when people don’t make their kids brush their hair or at least try to look presentable. they never look neat and clean like pretty little girls do. Olivia always looks pretty because Bonnie does her hair. And makes sure her outfits are very nice. Ruby could at least take the time to show her girls how to style their hair. Ruby looks presentable most of the time. I just couldn’t send my kid to school with her hair all messy and frizzy like they just rolled out of bed. It’s not my style. And for eve. Her hair is always done. But when it starts to fall out or when she sleeps in it and continues to wear it with it looking all crazy looks bad on ruby.HelloSweetie wrote: I agree. Most people go through an awkward period as teenagers, and if you didn’t then you were lucky. That said, I don’t think there is anything homely about Ruby’s kids. I’m not a fan of hers, but I think the kids look fine. I don’t understand the need to pick at children’s looks. Aren’t we above playground bullying?
I’ve seen YTers change their looks and it doesn’t make them better people. Would everyone really like the kids better if they looked like “picture perfect” models and took professional selfies? No. We’d hate on how fake and materialistic they are obviously raised to be.
If they are dirty and unhygienic that’s one thing, but acne is a part of being a teen, and unfortunately these kids can’t just hide in their rooms until that phase is over. Millions re watching them go through it.

#1 you’re about 2 days late to this discussion.
#2 everyone has their own opinions
#3 I have never once said anything about her being a Mormon housewife. I don’t care what religion you are. Your kids shouldn’t look, “homeless.” as Shari stated on a vlog.
#4 I didn’t say “dolled up.” Check my comment. I said neat and clean. Sure kids like to play. Get dirty and messy while they’re playing that’s fine. I encourage it. I enjoy seeing kids that still have an imagination. I love that her kids still play outside when most YouTube families seem to entertain their kids with an iPad.
#5 when my family is in public we look presentable. They’re not wearing snow boots to a Hawaiian vacation. Being a stay at home mom I can tell you there’s nothing too important in my day to day life that I can’t stop what I’m doing to brush kids hair before they go to school. (And they go to a fancy private school where I assume standards are higher.)
#6 as for “bullying,” Shari. I was simply stating my opinion but I agree I was in the wrong. I would hate for her to see a comment belittling her. Now that being said, are you going to attack all the other posters who say she’s stuck up, arrogant, rude, on a high horse, naïve, the ones who say they want to see Shari go to college out of the state of Utah so the world can “slap her in the face?” Or simply because they want to see her fail? Because to me, those comments are far more, “bullying,” than what I posted. I said she needs help with her skin.
That is all. Thank you.
