To start off, honestly, I hope Evie has a private tiktok account with her close friends. She should post her coping tiktoks with Cameron there to keep it private. I'm sure when Cameron got together with Evie he didn't want to be blasted on social media and now have tons of people (11–12-year-old fans of Evie) and a 40-year-old adult hating on him.
If only Evie, Brin, Kap, Sebi, and Hampton could be put in public school. They could then get Hampton the help he needs to learn to live his own life later, show Evie that in the real world, being mean won't get you anywhere, and teach Brin and Kap that their mom is not a good person. I think Brinley would especially do well with this. Also, a limit of spending only $75 dollars of their own a month. There is no need to be buying more stuff every day. Oh, and to only eat out 3 times a week.
I honestly think Brin and Kap would be such nice girls if they could get away from their mom. Brin even more so then Kap. They are both young teens (Kap isn't even a teen yet, I believe). They are still developing. Evie, yes, I think she could become nicer, but I think she's too far into it. I have been watching bits and pieces of the vlog and I'm noticing more and more how Evie basically says she knows she's mean. It's very clear how she thinks that she can bully all her younger siblings, ESPECIALLY Brinley.
I noticed that Aloha Pineapple, you said that Hampton uses ABC Mouse as his homeschool. For anyone not familiar with ABC Mouse, heres a quick summary. I used to use in when I was younger.
- Has sections for each subject
-Each section is basically just games
-Has books to read aloud
-Has online puzzles/coloring
It is great for the basics, like learning the letters of the Alphabet and practicing stuff. However, IT SHOULD NOT be used for curriculum. ABC mouse is an add on. And quite honestly, after age 6/7, you should know most of what is on there and it is just review. It is not state curriculum. Well, maybe it is in Florida, but Hampton, at this age, needs more.
Does anyone else wonder how Brin and Kap feel being so close in age? Do they feel like they have to share friends, or clothes? Just curious if anyone has thought about this.
I think going to public school would do a favor to all the kids. IMO, Evie is too far gone to be rescued but there’s still hope for the others, especially Brin. Although I do think it would cause Evie to tone down the mean girl attitude, at least while she’s at school. It definitely think she would be bullied or just not liked in school; people don’t like people who act like they’re better than everyone else. There was this big drama at my school (I went to a VERY small k-12 school so everyone knew everyone’s business) and this middle schooler who happened to be overweight and gay went to the media about the “relentless bullying” they endured. The thing is though, they were actually the bully. For awhile, people let their behavior slide but eventually people got sick of it and stood up for themselves, that was what the person considered bullying. It was ridiculous and the whole school community was very hurt and upset with this person because my school genuinely had a good vibe; most of the kids had been friends since kindergarten and there really wasn’t much bullying going on at all. Everyone had more so brother/sister type relationships because of the small amount of students and the amount of time they’d known each other.
I hope someday Brin & Kap do therapy and learn how wrong and dysfunctional their whole childhood has been/is. Brin deep down is a very nice person IMO, it’s just part of who she is which is what gives me hope for her. Evie very much followed in her mom’s footsteps and I hope the other girls don’t do the same. I believe Brin is pretty smart too but with the terrible education she’s getting, she’s not reaching her potential which I think will hold her back in life unfortunately. She definitely gets bullied by Evie. It’s so sad because they have this toxic home environment but have no escape from it. Most people in those situations at least can get away for 8 hours at school but these kids can’t. Kendal even sits and watches all their cheer practice so they don’t even get a reprieve then either.
Speaking of education, thanks for explaining the ABC mouse thing! He’s been doing it for 3 years at least because he did it in their old Florida house too. If he still finds it challenging after 3 years, his parents are definitely doing something wrong with his education (which is pretty obvious they are).
I don’t know how the girls feel about their age gap. My sister and I are 20 months apart so were 2 grade levels apart. I know I would’ve hated it if my sister was in my grade or the one below me and we had to share friends. In terms of sharing clothes, I think that’s a sad situation. Not that sharing isn’t good but these kids get SO possessive over certain objects and most commonly food. I think it’s because they are forced to share everything so they have nothing that is solely theirs; when they have a chance to have something that belongs to them and only them, they jump at it. One thing I hate though is how they make them give the clothes that don’t fit anymore to the next kid in line. If their parents bought the clothes, that’s fine, but if the kids bought the clothes, they should be allowed to keep it to sell or bring into a thrift store to get some of their own money back to replace the things they’ve outgrown. Like when Brin outgrows all this lululemon she has been paying for, it’s not fair to make her hand it down to Kap. One thing I do find odd is that the three sisters own SO much of the same clothes as each other. This would’ve bothered me too as a teen as I wanted to be an individual, not be copied by my sibling.
. Now they’ll be able to brag that they won a huge comp like Cheersport which is a more prestigious comp but at least one of their wins will be automatic. Ugh dreading the bragging already
