Between the screaming in the car, ringing the bells while Dolly was talking, screaming at the Santa video/Christmas tree with 0 correction besides with the bell. They have no problem correcting Brooks though.
It's almost hurtful to watch that Katie was "correcting" Brooks with a "no" several times, like she seems to be so used to, while Gaines was unbearably screaming for no reason, and the little boy was just touching his hands on the big package with the Christmas tree. What else did you expect?? If only she could empathize with Brooks, she could have taken him with her in a sweet way while Cullen was laying down the package (and prevent him touching it if that is not allowed) and say: "come here, be careful (for _him_), that's the christmas tree, we're going to set up the christmas tree together, are you "soo" excited? Come, look you can put this branch down." She doesn't interact with him. He's not a baby anymore though.
Then again, she is so unfriendly towards him: Brooks! Brooks! Hey Brooks! Let me ask you something! (Who is your favorite team?). No wonder he didn't respond the first time when she was coldly and manly shouting to him. Does she think he's a teenager or something?? (Even then it's too distant.)
In this vlog it became really clear that Gaines was screaming as a means of attention seeking. I am sorry, but I really dislike the girl. Also, she never plays with her little brother, like for instance Bennett was doing and always does with him. They are so sweet together. Gaines is at the age she should love to have a younger sibling though. And then in tandem with her parents she was 'explaining' to Brooks: you can break the tree. While she had just been screaming. Excuse me miss, you are not above him. Besides did it ever occur to them Brooks can NOT break the tree with his little weight body?
Cullen should at least film steadily and calmly with the camera and put basic quality out. The quality is really below par and it proofs that when they were saying to increase the quality in exchange of fewer videos, this was a BS excuse just to apiece people.
Katie, good job setting Gaines up against Brooks, and you should certainly emphasize "competition" between them! Uh, competition problem of Gaines, with whom you have a borderline sickening (symbiotic) relationship.
