Remember when Bryan went to Cambodia and everyone was sure it was going to change them?

Some of us are so old around here that we’ve seen B&M supposedly have revelations a few times now, only they turn around the next week and do something that’s even more ignorant and douchey

Some part of me knew this whole thing was just them playing a part. I wondered how long it had been since B&M had heard about this kid, and how "convenient" it was that he just happened to die as they were "on the way to see him." I bet the "heartbreaking" video was made after the kid died and they just made up some spiel to cover their asses when in reality they weren't going to see him at all (similar to the girl with the tumor who campaigned to see them on IG). Same shit different day. If that makes me sound heartless, oh well...definitely not my intention. My heart goes out to the family having experienced a loss, no mother should ever have to bury her child.

I also have to question the bit not getting his wish until the last minute. How long were the Wish people trying to co tact B&M? How many times did he boy or his parents try to reach out to them and get ignored? It’s not like they aren’t accessible.

The fact that they are acting like it was a loss if theirs disgusts me. Of what they are saying is true they had just heard of him that morning. It’s sad and tragic for sure, but not a loss of B&M’s. They have nothing to be strong about.

So it’s not their loss? Yet everyone here is mad that they went to a bar last night? I don’t understand that logic lol

If you paid attention maybe you would understand what people are saying.

NO ONE is saying they weren't sensitive in the moment, but the boy passed without B&M actually ever meeting him. They don't need to ask for prayers, or Tweet that they are taking a break in order to jump on the loss bandwagon and be included in the sympathy. As most of ours did after watching the vlog, I'm sure their day went on and I don't think anyone expected them to not go to Vegas. What they shouldn't do though, is act like they themselves have been though a lot. Remember when Caleb from Bratayley died and Bryan inserted himself into that? Yeah.

I agree that the boy had probably already passed on when they filmed that. I also agree that they were probably contacted before the last moments. From my experience, at that point anyone unable to compose themselves isn't allowed to visit. It isn't helpful. Judging by how upset Bryan was in the video, I don't think he would have helped the situation at all, and I don't see how Missy would have either.

Is it possible it wasn't an actual "Make A Wish" and that it was just the last wishes of a little boy? From what I know of the MAW program, it doesn't operate like this.

Someone’s a grumpy b*tch today... I think hello sweetie explained it best to me. It was just a question, calm down lol. I truly was trying to understand where the opposing side was coming from because in my head M&B are doing nothing wrong. Not everyone is going to agree on these things. This is one thing I happen to not agree with the majority on, nothing wrong with that!

Maybe re-read the tone in how you are speaking to people if you think my post is just bitchy.

[runnerduck]

I can’t imagine how it would be to be Henry’s mother and hear how Missy was speaking about the situation. Not necessarily everything she said, but the part where she said they got the request and her immediate reaction was “NO! NO WAY!” and continued about how devastating it would be for HER.

Honest, yes but idk, it just rubbed me the wrong way. We all know and understand that it would have been incredibly difficult for her and Bryan, she did not need to keep repeating it.

[lmmomSD]

Did they actually say it was Make a Wish?

Because Make a Wish makes a point to try to grant wishes way before children deteriorate. They want the child to be able to enjoy the experience, not be on his deathbed. That's the whole point. My ex-husband's stepson had osteosarcoma, and they sent him to Argentina to visit distant cousins. They made sure he was healthy enough for the trip before they made any arrangements.
Now, obviously sometimes kids go downhill faster than anyone thinks. But _generally_, the idea is for the experience to take place when the child is feeling as good as possible, so they can enjoy it and get the most out of it.

They likely had the meeting with the boy scheduled for a later date. It sounds like things went south unexpectedly and they got the call that it was a now or never situation. And he passed before they could get there.
No one is questioning their sincerity here. It’s very likely that this isn’t even the first time they’ve met with MAW kids. There is A LOT that they don’t share, good AND bad.
I just think that they let all the “OMG! You guys are sooo amazing to grant a dying child’s last wish ” go straight to their heads, and milked it. They wouldn’t have been on social media yesterday anyway. Bryan is never active on twitter during the day. They just pretended that they were abstaining from social media for noble purposes when it’s really just their normal routine.

That’s what I was thinking too—I would have thought make a wish would have contacted them before the day he died, right? Usually you are able to get a wish as soon as you have a life threatening diagnosis, right?

Sorry but this family is a bunch of losers as far as I'm concerned.

Yesterday they were crying because some boy died.... but today they went on a trip without their boys???? They literally said they postponed all their work that day to "reflect", so why did they even go in the first place? Spend time with your own children, damn.

Nothing will be a wake up call for these people. It's so sad how little they value.

[Cgl33]

They are not grieving. They didn’t know the boy. They are/were sad. He was a fan, he wanted to meet them, and they didn’t get a chance to. They are not grieving though. They didn’t know him.

I’m wondering if maybe the kid either had a different wish and had to change it to one that they thought would be more doable since the boy couldn’t travel. Or maybe there was a planned meeting but it got pushed up dramatically.

I don’t think Missy did anything wrong by not crying. They couldn’t have a vlog of themselves both sobbing. She talked when Bryan couldn’t. Sometimes your mind just can’t go there because you make the connection to your kid. She’s not heartless because she didn’t lose it talking about the boy on the vlog. I think some of you are reaching. She wasn’t smiling.

I just want to clarify my comment because I can't edit...

They went to Vegas. It's not that far from where they live, someone in this thread said a four hour drive. They already mentioned they cancelled all their work in Vegas that day, so why even bother going, then? Just the day before they were so upset over the death of a young boy, don't you think that would be a wake up call? Wouldn't they want to spend the day doing fun things with their boys making memories instead of being in a hotel shopping for chocolate?

I find it very genuinely sad how materialistic and shallow their lives are.

[100midas]

I could tell when Bryan was talking at the beginning of the vlog that he was struggling to think of a good excuse for still going to Vegas. I don't think most of us are unhappy that they aren't acting depressed. It's the weird mood shifts and attention seeking behavior. Like others said, they are not grieving. They may be living with the disappointment of not getting to see the boy who passed, but this is far from being their loss. I don't think they've necessarily done anything wrong, they're just disingenuous. I know that word keeps getting thrown around but it's the best way to describe how they're acting.

It sounds like they had show tickets lol.

[tintin15]

As someone who's highly sensitive and can't control crying lol I can't get mad at Bryan for sitting there sobbing...it was real and emotional. The family (if they even watch the video, which is doubtful, given that they are very busy right now) could appreciate that he was so touched by it or it could piss them off. Who knows? If they had gotten to see him, I don't think Bryan would have cried like that. Adults have an amazing way of keeping it together for kids...we don't know if he would have wept in front of the kid or not, though. In the video, the news could have still been fresh...I personally am proud of Bryan for showing emotion in a world where it's seen as weak or pathetic, and I'm glad to see something genuine come from him.

I'm not gonna argue about anything else, but I just don't think we should be mad at Bryan for crying and assuming he would have done that in front of the little boy...he likely would have had time to compose himself anyway.

[onbreak]

I want to hate watch but I can't..
We're all allowed to grieve in our own way, we have to .. Or we'll go mad. If Bryan's was one and done -good for him.
Grief is the worst.. Love with no where to go is debilitating
My friend had to cremate her son because she knew she'd dig him up eventually to hold him. She ran off with several guys and was not shy about using herion. She grieved but that was her life 24/7 for 7 months.. When we all went back to our lives and day to day routines she was alone and had nothing. (She is getting herself together now, TG)

I grieved over Tom Petty .. But also, I could barely function during the holidays this year.. Filling out Christmas cards and going through my phone book for addresses and realizing most of my favorite people are gone was no bueno. I can't buy a new address book because I need them in my life still


Also.. Came here to say jhouse and ballinger are in san diego.. Why are they pressed over a damn convention when they could have play dates around san diego with the boys??

I haven’t been able to access posts for few days because of all the site glitches, so apologies if I’m repeating something that’s already been said. But here’s my “thing” with the whole make a wish situation: I think it’s just appalling that a sick little boy was watching these two idiots spend money and laze around and spoil their kids, and thinking that this is normal, and that he just got the short end of the stick in life. Which he pretty much did - cancer just plain sucks - but I just hate that he might have, even just for a second, thought “why did I get sick and an Ollie and Finn get endless toys and parties and vacations and holiday fun?” I understand that’s probably beyond what a five year old is going to be thinking, and I hope the vlogs only made him happy and helped him to escape his own pain for a little bit each day - but I just think it’s horribly sad that his dying wish was to meet Missy and Bryan, because they can give their kids everything he would probably love to have. Of all the people to idolize

And I absolutely don’t mean this to be a criticism of him or his family (if I had terminally ill child and DB was the only thing getting him through it, I guess I’d probably cave!)...and it’s also not a criticism of how M&B handled things the other day. I respect that they were going to go meet the kid, and that it is a horribly sad situation that was probably very difficult for them. It’s just the overall idea that there are kids out there that glorify this fake life they watch the Lumps lead, and they have no clue that it’s not the norm. It’s so disingenuous for M&B to suck all these little kiddie fans into this false reality that they live - just so they can make millions and blow it on crap.

Like I said before all this happened, there's that big dinosaur expo going on at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. They have a bunch of dinosaur exhibits and you can pretend to dig for bones, and all kinds of fun stuff. Ollie and Finn would love it.
So they were so deeply touched by this, but then go off and leave their precious boys? They could have met up at the San Diego Zoo with the J House family. "We're so sad, let's go to Vegas, go to a piano bar, buy some candy, and not be with our sons. Because we're so sad"

I got a chuckle out of that too. When have they ever cared about wasting money? These are the people who took a big vacation to Orlando about 3 weeks before Playlist-- flew first class, spent a week there, flew home, and then went _back_ for Playlist. They're the ones who went out and bought a Cadillac because Missy couldn't get to one hair appointment, and a truck because they wanted to be "the people who you borrow a truck from". Both vehicles are currently collecting dust in the garage.
They don't care at all.
