Wow Finn's laugh is SO infectious! One of the things I actually like about Bryan is that he actually tries to make an effort to play with the boys. It is extremely disgusting that they had a mouse in their house! That could come off as offensive, so I'm sorry. But my beef is that they probably don't clean well, because they're so lazy! Hence the mouse! It was nice hearing Ollie saying his alphabet today, seeing as how it didn't sound staged today. At least SOMEONE is teaching him.

The way they leave the doors open, I am not surprised. Especially since they live in the sticks and have chickens. Lots of food and fecal matter to attract them!They wanted to get rid of ALL the snakes, this is what happens. The problem is, now that they have one baby, you know there's a whole litter somewhere. I am only surprised it took this long. I said, (and I will go back and find the post if I have to, lol) when they got the snake fence that they were going to have rats. I have lived in the sticks with animals before. If you get rid of the predators, the rats come out.
They should have kept Zuri. Bengals are great hunters!

We live in the south east on the water. We get what we politely call marsh rats. They can get up anything. They get in our shed, we don't get them in the house though with our two dogs loose. Luna and Karma should be able to "get 'em" as Bryan likes to say.

Let's keep a running count on how many Halloween costumes they buy this year (that wont even be the kids' actual costumes..) so just by the thumbnail we are 2 up so far?

[waitwhat]

It doesn't sound ridiculous to me... have you seen how much pleasure that child gets out of pretending to kill people? The look of satisfaction on his face when he pretends to shoot his mother? I mean maybe you are cool with that kinda behavior but killing people isn't a game in my house.

You misunderstand me. I am not saying it's ok to encourage kids to play such games but you(and whoever else agrees with you) are being ridiculous with your...ytmd expert analysis. He is 4. He doesn't understand the concept of death, its finality, its implication. To him, this game is same as any other game so it's insane to claim he has sociopathic tendencies. To say nothing of the fact that the kid is shown playing other games and playing with other toys too but you ignore that to fit your twisted narrative. You only see a few minute clips of this kid and you take those minutes and you dissect them and twist them to fit what you've already convinced yourself to be true. God, I remember when you guys labeled him a sociopath because he leaned away from Finn and "let Finn fall down" when the more logical sane explanation was that he stepped backwards reflexively so that Finn won't unbalance him as well. You're so far gone you can't even see things for what they are most times. I used to only read here and not watch their vlogs and I believed most of what you guys said and then when I started watching the vlogs I saw how much you were distorting and frankly it's not Ollie who's disturbin it's you guys sorry. Again, I am strictly talking about some of the things you guys say about Ollie not DB in general.

Don't worry, I won't read this insanity anymore but I still wanted to throw my opinion in because I comment on this website and I want to be sure that people who come here know not all of us here are obsessed with a 4 year old or in agreeance with the roasting going on here on the regular. I know you won't change your mind. Soon you'll speculate Ollie killed the chickens and that's why they're not shown anymore (oh shit, I hope I didn't just give you an idea).

Ollie is physically violent with his family. Like i said, it's fine if you think that killing people is a game that a 4 year old should be encouraged to play, but with the current events, i think his parents (and you) need to take a step back and realize how FUCKED UP this type of play is. The kid is a terror, he's a spoiled brat who enjoy's pretending to kill people. I don't give a rats ass if he doesn't understand the concept of death, he shouldnt be allowed to play that way, He's being desensitized to death and violence at 4 years old. He looks sad and defeated when he doesn't successfully run his mother over with a car. Pretends to shoot and kill his mother, spits in her face, pretends to cut the head off a grown man the first time he meets him, karate kicks and punches other YT kids when he first meets them.. . IDK where or in what world that is normal preschool behavior but it's not in my house. Every time i see him playing with other toys... well they are always killing/hurting one another or made into weapons. Something IS NOT RIGHT THERE.. it's not healthy or ok for a 4 year old to think violence is fun. You won't convince me otherwise. the old "we only see a few mins" excuse is bullshit as well. We see the BEST 15 mins a day they can come up with.. if the best and "cutest" footage we see of Ollie is him pretending to kill his mother, then i have a feeling that we aren't seeing a lot of the real violent behavior he exhibits.

Just two things:

1. I explicitly told you that I do not think such play is ok/to be encouraged but hey, thanks for proving my point about your tunnel vision. I guess once you decided I must be ok with violent play, no matter what I said was futile and you interpreted everything I said as me being pro gun play.

2. You do not see even 15 minutes of Ollie, it's less than that and it's not a bs excuse. You've no idea what this kid does in the 23 hours and 50 minutes you do not see so yeah, I repeat, you're being ridiculous . You've no clue. Neither do I but at least I'm not delusional about it unlike you.

[Playsinrain]

Miisy made such a huge deal about going in a store by herself with the boys. Two things.. be a little independent and suck it up that you can't have your mom and dad taking care of your kids 24/7.. and the second thing? Teach your kids how to behave in public and outings like that wont be so scary. (Yes kids break down and act like crazy people sometimes, but my god she talked it up like those kids can't be trusted in public at all!) I wanna know how long she lasted by herself before she have to drag them out screaming..
Of course Ollie is the "good guy" and Finn is the "bad guy".....

Agree to disagree.. you are the one defending his violence, but take it as you want..
And saying i see less than 15 mins only backs up my statement that we see the BEST few mins of his day.
I'm not "delusional" i just have a different opinion than you do, and thats fine. You keep believe what you want and I'll do the same. Never placeed a mental illness on your opinion.

[marshmallowfluf]

I was actually enjoying the vlog until bryan took over and made it a production!

[workfromhomemom]

I was bored today and watched today's vlogs. I haven't seen one in months. The skit was terrible. Poor Ollie can't act at all. No worries about Disney knocking their door down. Most kids can't act and they shouldn't have to in their home anyway.

[riiot08]

Yes Bryan, teach your kids that it's perfectly acceptable to eat food off the grass, I mean Ollie already tries to eat like to dog, so why not take it a step further by having him eat off the ground. *eye roll*

[natalka81]

I am trying to refrain from chiming in on the Ollie discussion but I can't. I think it's the behaviour most people are worried about rather than necessarily Ollie himself. At least that's my take on it. I see a lot of good in Ollie. I don't think he's a psychopath or anything like that (but of course I could never pretend to diagnose him in person or especially over the internet) but I certainly think that some of his behaviours are really quite alarming. Is this because he's given way too many opportunities for violent play? Is this because he's encouraged and egged on by his dad to go get 'em all the time? I don't know. But it's uncomfortable, and it worries me. I admit I absolutely hate toy weapons, even to the point of water guns, and I don't allow them in my home. I know there are good, solid arguments out there for kids being encouraged to play with them in certain settings (much the same way children are encouraged to act out 'daily life' events in imaginative play) but I cannot get behind this 'all weapons all the time' mentality that these parents seem to be promoting. It's just so wrong. And especially wrong for this particular child.

Agreed! I think the posters diagnosing him as physcopathic/sociopathic are reaching too much, and I don't necessarily think occssional limited toy weapon play is bad, but it's easy to see from watching the vlogs that the amount of sword/gun play he engages in is changing his mindset and affecting his behavior. Maybe nothing will come out of it and he'll turn out fine, but that doesn't make it good or right.

I don't think Ollie is a sociopath. I think he has some serious issues, but I don't think they have anything to do with nature, but instead it's a product of the way his parents are raising him.

Agree with you! And not only do see their 15 minutes. We also notice his behaviour in their "friends" vlogs.

I don't think Ollie is a sociopath. I think he has some serious issues, but I don't think they have anything to do with nature, but instead it's a product of the way his parents are raising him.

I was coming down here to say the same thing. There's nothing wrong with the way Ollie is, at his core. It's the way he was raised and the things he was allowed.

He thinks violence is fun because Missy and Bryan encourage it, not because he's genuinely a violent, psychopathic/sociopathic person. It's going to be confusing to him when he's aware of real violence and doesn't understand why it's ok for him to pretend to hurt people, but not for it to actually happen. But he doesn't have any mental illness that any of us could pick out or diagnose, and we have no place to do so.

I'd also like to point out, I don't think anyone ever explicitly said he's a sociopath at first. Someone made a comment about his behavior and someone sarcastically ranted about he was such a horrible sociopath, etc basically mocking the poster and the rest of us...so this whole argument stemmed from nothing.

[Rosiex3]

according to Oliver " the more I act up = the more laughs I get."

Because his parents just laugh off his bad behavior instead of correcting him.

Maybe Bryan's immune system isn't very good because he eats to much crap

Finn was so cute in the ghost costume though!

But what we're (at least most of us from what I can see) upset about is that this play is _encouraged_, because "boys are rough". Nobody tells him that it's not okay to pretend to kill your mom with a "death spell" when you play Harry Potter. Bryan goes around yelling "get him!" encouraging Ollie to shoot at people and sword fight his baby brother. If they were girls, this wouldn't be encouraged at all. I don't think anyone really thinks Ollie is a sociopath _yet_. But Bryan and Missy are applauding that kind of behavior.
And no-- we have no idea what he does in the other hours of his day. But they show us "the best". So if he's playing sweetly, they don't approve of it enough to show it. And that's wrong too. Because that tells him that mommy and "dada" like it when he pretends to kill everyone.
Just my more than two cents.
