Knorpp and South: Manic Megan’s Pinterest Palace | Part 2
Re: Knorpp and South: Manic Megan’s Pinterest Palace | Part 2
Thoughts from the latest video...
If this doesn't prove they are hoarders I don't know what will. "we set up bunk beds but they don't work so we got another set of bunk beds from the attic...." OMG. WTF. Who actually has SPARE bunk beds just lying around.
Those earrings for the christening. Yikes. She looked like she had 3 heads. Could they be any more obnoxiously large?
Someone commented on their video "No more DoTerra?" She said that they still "share" oils, but they are "Semi-Retired." Odd.
That $10 thrifted table is $15 new at Ikea, not the stellar find she made it out to be. At least that's what I paid for my exact same table new last year.
When speaking about the bedroom issue she mentioned that one of the big issues is that Andrew is on a different schedule and it was throwing everyone off and making people argue. This is where being a typical family would help. If they had school the next day, or at least a structured existence this wouldn't be an issue. If you have 8 kids in the house there really is no reason for all of them to be on their own sleeping schedule. It must be CHAOS in that house, constantly.
OMG they are screwing shit into their ceiling. If there was any doubt that they would get ANY of their security deposit back...there went that. They are so inconsiderate of property that isn't theirs! Painting murals on walls, screws into the ceilings, all the holes that will be left by that book shelf contraption they created in the living room. So much damage. Whenever I rented we were allowed finishing nail holes for photo frames and that's it. Otherwise everything else needed to be a piece of furniture on the floor, like normal bookshelves and not screwing shit into the drywall. Ballsy move Knorpps.
I'm also confused...they have 8 kids living at home. Help me out. The 2 younger AHDH kids have 1 room to themselves. Meggers and Mike have 1 room. Eve and Jude have 1 room. The rental listing said it was a 4 bedroom house. That means Andrew, Daniel, Ester and Pearl share a room now??? Good God I hope not. As if Eve and Jude sharing wasn't inappropriate enough....

Re: Knorpp and South: Manic Megan’s Pinterest Palace | Part 2
I’m more confused over how they had a random empty room to put them in.
Did she have Asher, Peter, Andrew, and Daniel all squeezed into one room while there was an empty room available?

Re: Knorpp and South: Manic Megan’s Pinterest Palace | Part 2
Ok, did a deep dive to the empty house tour.
The room that was original Andrew, Daniel, and Elijah is more of a finished off attic space. It wouldn’t count in the original total number of bedrooms.
I’m guessing after Elijah flew the cuckoo’s nest, they moved the ADHD twins in with Andrew and Daniel, because why not?
The room they just “moved” Asher and Peter into was originally their room. It’s at the top of the stairs.

Re: Knorpp and South: Manic Megan’s Pinterest Palace | Part 2
I think she mentioned Daniel had his own room, so I’m wondering if when Elijah left they moved Peter and Asher into the big room with Andrew. If so, that would mean Daniel and Andrew are back to being roommates.
Re: Knorpp and South: Manic Megan’s Pinterest Palace | Part 2
Their golden child v2 Andrew most likely complained that Daniel's routine (work) disturbed his precious brain. So they moved Daniel into his own room which was Asher and Peter's and the two boys moved in with Andrew. He probably complained again because of the two boys fighting while he was pretending to read or write his next best seller. Why not just move Andrew into his own room since he is made out of gold (sarcasm).
Re: Knorpp and South: Manic Megan’s Pinterest Palace | Part 2
I’ve been to Peru/Incan Trail/Machu. It’s a very physical trip, plus the air is thinner because of the High altitude, which puts everyone at risk for Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) and other conditions. Hopefully Pearl can stay back at the hotel because the amount of walking/hiking is going to be tough! This is not an accessible region or even special-needs friendly.

Megan explained that when Elijah had moved out, Daniel had moved to Peter and Asher’s room and they had moved in with Andrew.
However, it appears there was too much bickering between the three of them because the younger boys share a different routine to Andrew, and they decided Daniel should go back to sharing with Andrew. Megan also mentioned to the boys that now they were back in their own room, no one complain about the lizard anymore - obviously Andrew didn’t like it

I would complain too. It's an outside-wild lizard. Not a breed intended for captivity. It probably smells to high hell and it's ridiculous that they kept it.MervelllaB wrote: ↑Tue Dec 31, 2019 5:32 am Megan explained that when Elijah had moved out, Daniel had moved to Peter and Asher’s room and they had moved in with Andrew.

Keep spending money the way they do and they will be out of "semi retirement" before the end of 2020. They catch 1 wild lizard and suddenly they need a terrarium, heat lamp, decorations inside the tank, etc.... she just spends spends spends. I guess that's what you do when you are a maximalist.
Re: Knorpp and South: Manic Megan’s Pinterest Palace | Part 2
Well this will be entertaining to watch for sure. Eve is very "EHHHH-TTAAHHHHH" verbal about not ever EVER wanting to go on hikes. She has no stamina and just doesn't like it...according to them when they were in Europe. Pearl can't even scale their stairs 2 times in a row for a scavenger hunt. Esther looked like it really takes effort to walk flat distances in one of their latest videos when they were walking from their towns "boring" parade. Throw in all the bio adhd mess and you've got yourself some television. I love the people that comment "you guys need your own TV show!!"NYCtoNKY wrote: ↑Tue Dec 31, 2019 5:25 am I’ve been to Peru/Incan Trail/Machu.

Plus all of the people that are commenting on that room/bunk bed video....to have her watch the Mills family "how to fit 6 boys in one room" video...I follow the Mills, I have since before the mom died 4 months ago...Tom, the dad and husband has said on more than one occasion that it was nice that the video went viral, but every time it waves...they get reported and CPS shows up at their house. I wonder when/if the Knorpps will experience this since they have planted in the same spot for more than 3 months now.

Oh don’t even get me started about the lizard...It may be a completely unfair comment of me to make, but I feel like some of the Mormon vloggers in particular have very poor understanding of animals and nature and the environment.
To take a poor lizard out of its environment and into their home, is just another thing they feel they are entitled to do!

Wow. I honestly believe that she thinks all of these janky-corner cutting-half assed D.I.Y.'s are going to get them their own television show. Did anyone else notice on her "vision board" the 1,000,000 YouTube subscriber count? Keep dreaming and not parenting or teaching!!!!!

Re: Knorpp and South: Manic Megan’s Pinterest Palace | Part 2
Another video, another reminder that 10.5 year old Eve shares a room and bed (there's a trundle under it but as if M&M enforce anything) with her 6.5 year old brother. I cannot understand how that's normal. Eve is closer in age to Pearl than Jude... and hey Megan, looking to separate Asher and Peter? Maybe JUDE should be with one of them?!
Re: Knorpp and South: Manic Megan’s Pinterest Palace | Part 2
Unfortunately the room sharing is only going to get worse when they move into their new house
If they really think it's necessary they should convert their thrifted, awful mismatched downstairs library/games room into a bedroom. They could easily separate the ADHDs.

Re: Knorpp and South: Manic Megan’s Pinterest Palace | Part 2
Backpacks for Peru. Does anyone recall how long they will be there? I feel like it's 2 weeks, but I know they were not leaving for Peru until 2 weeks after Christmas, so maybe that's why I'm thinking 2 weeks.
Megan has never been one to do laundry mid-trip outside of when they traveled exclusively, but Mike has these kids packing like 5 shirts.
Mike is getting frustrated with ADHD kid #2. From what I've seen, they didn't tell any of the kids what to pack, just told them all to locate a backpack, and pack. So #2 packed 9 t-shirts, 1 long sleeve shirt, 1 pair of pants, 6 pairs of shorts, no socks, no underwear, nothing to sleep in.
Why not give them each a list- pack 4 t-shirts, 2 pairs of jeans, 2 pairs of shorts, 5 pairs of socks, 5 pairs of underpants, etc.
Pearl packed very light. 2 t-shirts, 1 long sleeve. Mike, who just lectured ADHD twins on what they had, didn't say "Hey, you might need another shirt or two, etc."
High point? Megan doesn't make an appearance until 10 minutes into the video.
Cousin-baby is over.
Quote from Megan - "It's better to be an aunt and I think a grandma, because when they are over, you can just .. this is what you're doing [chasing baby] but when you're a mom, you have to do so many other things."
Says the mom who set out to collect kids along the way until she had her perfect #adventuringfamilyof11. Sorry, Meggers, you picked this life. You bought this life. You collected the kids you wanted, and made sure you had your hands full.
At 12-something, Megan burns herself on the instapot, because it's releasing steam. I would have figured she was an expert in instapots by now, but guess not.
She's talking about Audible now. No one who recently heard the kids trying to read would be surprised by her saying "Our kids listen to books all the time."
That makes a LOT more sense. She claims they read all the time. I'd guess it's more that they LISTEN to books all the time, and never figured out how to read comfortably from that along.
You can surround your kids with 500 books, but they don't learn by osmosis. They have to be taught.

Re: Knorpp and South: Manic Megan’s Pinterest Palace | Part 2
You would think that the rigid-OCD-micromanaging parents would have thought to print out a list of what to pack for each kid just to make life simpler for yourself and your kids. I guess it was too much of a hassle. Or you were worried your children wouldn't be able to read it. Instead spend X amount of time with each kid to go through each bag. Then whine later that you need your "alone" time away from your kids while running errands for things your children DON'T already have!!!!!NarcoelpsyMom wrote: ↑Tue Dec 31, 2019 3:13 pm Backpacks for Peru.

And being sponsored by Audible is the biggest joke so far. But I guess if you are too lazy to teach your children to read just play the book!
Public schooling is so awful so let's get an amazon echo and have Alexa be the parent oops I meant the teacher. The futures of those children is getting bleaker with each video. I hope something changes in 2020!!!!!!

Re: Knorpp and South: Manic Megan’s Pinterest Palace | Part 2
Please. Audible did not seek these people out. Megan has to be on some vlogger websites looking for places that offer "Sponsorships" and SHE reaches out to THEM. Even you right now can go to www.audible.com and sign up to get your own www.audible.com/(your personalized link) and then anyone that signs up for a trial membership thru your link, they give you $15. So, in theory, you can start a youtube channel right this moment and then say that this FIRST video is "sponsored by audible." She just tries to puff up those feathers......she needs to get a grip.ITSMYOPINION wrote: ↑Tue Dec 31, 2019 7:32 pm And being sponsored by Audible is the biggest joke so far.
