ThisGatheredNest | Part 2

I know Ashleigh has her own thread but no one really posts there. It seems like she only wants to foster an infant because ruby is out of that baby stage. I still think of her as a baby, 1 to me is still a baby but she doesn’t see it that way. I find it crazy that she’s needs to pray about whether doing anything to prevent pregnancy is the right decision or not. It seems like she has an itch that needs scratching now that Ruby is 1 and that this fostered infant will just be a placeholder until she gets pregnant again. I don’t fault her for choosing to foster infants instead of older children because she at least admits it. Isn’t like Angie who said they were open to everything when they really weren’t.

You took the words right out of my mouth! Angie and Ashleigh are addicted to newborn babies. It's crazy to me that they have 9 people living in a 3 bedroom house and don't have a car that can fit their entire family, but they think they are the right people to foster a child.

Could someone send me the link for her thread? I tried to look for it but Tapatalk is being weird.

What the fuck.
2.4 minutes into her new years video, the 3 month old baby is lying unattended on a flat bed on the dining table, with the 2 year old girls next to him.
The amount of babies 'who havent rolled yet' that i have seen in emergency because they have been left unattended on furniture is ridiculous. Or it would take one second for one of the girls to grab him or accidentally knock him.
You would think after 7 children she would know how incredibly dangerous that is.

You've got to be kidding!?!
That is obscene.
That really makes me question them.

I think it is the same video where Amelia is climbing on the back of the sofa and leaning over a partition. It has to be at least 1.5mtr drop over the other side. The boys climb on that partition and jump off it and the twins are often in the background stood on top of the dinning table.

Here it is would love to see it more active!: viewtopic.php?t=13309

OMG i think it is really dumb of her to be sooo into fostercare but then refusing to commit to preventing pregnancy?? You can't have both! I guarantee she will be pregnant in 3 months and then foster care will go out the window because, hello, basic math!

Also why do I feel like Peter is secretly spending a ton of money on food. Meanwhile, she is skinny AF and being frugal AF. there is no way that man isn't secretly (or obviously) using a TON of his guitar center salary to eat out. He would NOT be at his weight otherwise. and it really saddens me to see how frugal and healthy she is trying to be, while meanwhile, her husband is incapable of sticking to a single career trajectory that isn't guitar center, and is morbidly obese. she is trying harder than he is and it makes me angry on her behalf. ok one more thing i think it's creepy AF that that they met when he was a youth paster and she was the youth. yikes.

I get it with two-year olds and picking your battles, I have one and he is a lot like the twins. But they’re old enough to be disciplined and reinforced what is wrong and right, to a point. I imagine Benji takes up a lot of the parenting time, but it’s not fair to the older girls to have to watch the twins all day. The same time that Angie talked about the tough parenting day, it was mentioned the twins caused a flood in the bathroom with a roll of toilet paper. I hope the older girls didn’t get in trouble for that.

I’m pretty certain they read the comments here, they’ve been passive aggressively referencing some recent posts. The latest being in the NYE video where they joke about their house looking empty w/o decorations, thus needing to go out and buy more “stuff”. I can only speak for myself, but I watch a handful of vloggers as guilty pleasure TV, and I like to discuss things with other viewers. Some channels are trashy, some like TGN is more upstanding, IMO. I’m not really a gossiper, but I’m not an ass-kisser, either. If Angie is purposely keeping comments turned off on Youtube, there is nowhere to discuss her channel. She pushes Instagram, but I refuse to follow family vlogs on my Instagram because just searching two families has riddled my suggestions page with photos of Insta kids, primarily Cole and Sav’s daughters. If Angie and CR want to read here and have fun with it, that’s cool, but I would be surprised they even have the time.

I'm a few Vlogs behind but my word those kids have no volume button, especially the boys and twins. Some have been so noisy in the background I haven't been able to concentrate. I know with that amount of kids it will be noisier, that's a given, but Angie and CR need to tell them to be a little quieter.
And please get Rosie into speech therapy so you can understand her and have an actual conversation with her. Poor girl seems so alone and left to one side.

As an add on to my post, the children always seem to be well behaved when they're out and about.

I have 6 kids and am usually complemented on their behaviors. I think if her kids couldn’t behave when kut they couldn’t go out often (or so is the case with my family).

Also- I’m sure the meltdowns and problems don’t make the cut. If I were airing my life I’d give a somewhat honest view- but for the sake of my kids I’m sure I would cut out some of the rough moments

We’ve seen some vlogs cut off and resumed the next day and I imagine that plays into it

[Amsouthernbell]

So Angie just realized that their grocery budget is out of line? I was able to figure that out pretty fast with their hauls.

O. M. G. The clothing declutter is going to give me a panic attack! So many clothes!!

Right? I don't think I've owned that many clothes combined in my life..

[Freecali]

The timing of going through the closet purge and then announcing she didn’t have an appropriate dress so she had to go shopping...

By all means I’m not snarking on the Death of her Grandmother but it’s impact on clothing was something else.

[ScoutingRaven]

Her intermittent fasting videos have been nauseating. I think she’s definitely lost more than just what was her pre-fertility treatment weight. Looking back at old vids pre-Rosie her face was much fuller. Whatever, I just think she’s trying to spin her vanity? I mean, good for her, I guess? But just seems so weird she’s so fixated on her image now and she never really even goes anywhere? Not that you can’t look nice for yourself!! I’m all for that if people are into that, but it just seems bizarre she gets all dolled up in makeup and jewellery and a silk blouse to... sit in a locked shed away from her many, many children to make videos?

I honestly couldn't believe that. I don't know how she is able to support her shopping addiction

[Tweedles3]

I’ll give her credit for admitting her shopping addiction, and that she shops to escape her troubles, it was pretty obvious.

I kind of envy her “She Shed”, I lost my work from home office to my twins and I currently work in my bedroom. But it seems she can’t keep the kids away, and CR can’t watch all 8 of them. My anxiety hit the roof when CR found the twins outside looking for Mom, half-naked and jumping in puddles. It had to 50-60 degrees F out there. I have anxiety nightmares about my 2-year old escaping the house and running out in the street. Maybe they have a fenced-in yard, I can’t really tell. I don’t remember their stance on hiring a nanny, but I think they could use one.

I think the meal planning and food budget is just there to lead us into her meal binder and CRs cookbook. Smooth transition.

I totally forgot about his cookbook. You are more than likely correct. I’m sure she won’t actually stick to her budget by any means. After that closet declutter it’s pretty obvious budgeting isn’t an interest of theirs

[marinewife0920]

Remember her video a few years ago about wanting to do a capsule wardrobe for everyone? Well that went to shit didn’t it. Lol
