Eh that seems a little far fetched to me. How old was Kelley when she had Emily?amf2224 wrote:Off topic, but goes along with Cullen and Katie's convo on the couch. I could possibly see them freezing embryos, since they're "older" for having kids and they don't want kids right now. What do you guys think??

I will admit, I give them props for actually admitting that they are frustrated, and not acting as if everything is perfect all the time. It keeps them relatable.Playsinrain wrote:Coming from someone who has been in their shoes, i think it's perfectly fine that they are a annoyed with how Brooks acts sometimes. It frustrating. When you do everything in your power to make your kid happy and to have them behave and they still act like wild animals, it can make you want to break down and cry. I wanted to just give up and walk away some days. We had days where it wore on my husband and I's relationship and put a strain on us. I sympathize with them 100%. Having your first child be total angel and your second be super difficult is a huge challenge and can make you feel like a failure as a parent. Cullen doesnt seem fed up to me,(and especially not in today's vlog) he seems like a parent that is dealing with a not so easy kid. I've been there and some days i fared much worse than C&K ever act. It makes no difference to me that they hoped that Brooks would be easy (don't all parents wish for easy babies?) or that they didn't want to hear people what people had to say when they talked about how he could be a difficult child. Not one single parent can sit there and say that they didn't brush off things like that when they were expecting a child (be it first or 14th), no one wishes or hopes their kid is "that kid" in the store. I feel bad that they are getting called out for having a difficult baby and that it stresses them out. I'm sure everyone here would be stressed if Brooks was their baby. They don't even seem to be talking excessively or badly about it either, yes they share struggles but its not like they are constantly talking about how awful the kid is and that they can't handle him. they seem to be taking it very well, much better than i did some days as the parent of a difficult child.
God i hope not, idk how anyone can stand to listen to any of them talk on the vlog for that long. They talk like robots and Kelley and her baby talk makes me want to scream. Plus with how much disregard they have for privacy, the all the times where they have put the girls on the vlogs in compromising positions, i just can't bear to watch. I'm not even subbed to them anymore.whatthepho wrote:They've both had their vlogs up for an hour and jk almost has as many views as c&k :/ I wonder if they're going to surpass them in popularity.

That and the kids seem to get away with everything. Bennett put holes in the bottom of his mattress and didn't get in trouble. And the kids eat so much junk. C&k get harped on for feeding Gaines a lot of bad food but jk's kids don't eat any better.Playsinrain wrote:God i hope not, idk how anyone can stand to listen to any of them talk on the vlog for that long.

I was thinking the same thing honestly. JK are taking advantage of the fact that their kids are going back to school, so they're pumping out videos with popular content like get ready with me, what's in my backpack/locker, etc. I usually don't watch their vlogs, but that's the content that I like to watch. C&K are doing the same old stuff, so I find myself skipping vlogs more often.Playsinrain wrote:God i hope not, idk how anyone can stand to listen to any of them talk on the vlog for that long.

I can understand that, i guess it's just bc i feel like i relate to them so much that it's harder to grasp. Yes, my husband does work outside of the house, and so did i once maternity leave was up, so having 2 parents at home full time isn't relatable to me. But my MIL kept my kids, she lives across the street and is willing to help whenever we needed it. But it didn't make me feel like any less of a failure of a parent or make me want to cry less when my kid threw a plate on the floor and shattered in in the middle of Olive Garden, or refused to eat anything but plain pasta for months, or screamed bloody murder for no reason through an entire grocery trip that had to be done bc we had cut short the previous 3 trips bc of her behavior.. Its embarrassing and spirit killing to have a difficult kid at times. I would just hate to know people were giving me a hard time bc i'm was little frustrated with my kid after a hard day. :/ Single mom, military wife, SAH parent, working moms.. whatever your situation is, its ok to vent about having bad days without judgement.lmmomSD wrote:I will admit, I give them props for actually admitting that they are frustrated, and not acting as if everything is perfect all the time.

But. All the "Everyone told us parenting was so hard. It's not! It's soooo easy! Having two isn't any harder than one was!" comments, especially when they are both at home all the time, rubbed a lot of us who have had to deal not only with difficult kids, but dealt with being alone all day, or while a SO was traveling, or even as single parents, and haven't had family ready willing and able to take the kids, the wrong way. You can't blame us for having a little schadenfreude.
Sorry for the run-on sentence. Hope it made sense.

Oh god no..they still don't seem comfortable in front of the camera at all and sound like worse actors than B&M when they start talking. i have wondered what they are going to do when the kids are back in school. No one is going to tune in to kelly droning on and on and on about her avocado oil and chicken in the crockpot with cat hair on it.askeptichere wrote:I was thinking the same thing honestly.

I agree with Playsinrain though. I cannot stand how they talk. Kelly and Jay do sound like really slow moving robots with no personality. JK are smart to include videos other than just daily vlogs because with all 3 kids at school, and Jay working, no one wants to watch Kelley sit at home every day.

I think they need to put off thinking about another baby until Brooks is a little older. With me, my youngest's behavior cured me and i knew for sure i didn't want another. Never even entertained the idea of a 3rd kids after her. Even though my husband wanted at least one more, i knew even after she was in school full time i couldnt handle it. But even with that being said, i think now is not the time for them to decide on whether or not they ever want another kid. I don't think they should have another now, no way. And yes they are both getting older so thats a factor but i think if they waited until brooks was 3 or 4 they might want another. I could justify that too, you never know what a kids temperament is going to be so its always a gamble, but there is always hope that they could have another easy kid like Gaines..askeptichere wrote:If they aren't sure if they want a third kid, they shouldn't have one. Just because they had always talked about having 3 or 4 before they even had one is not a good reason to keep having kids. If they're struggling with two, maybe it's time to step back and reevaluate their life plans, and focus on how awesome their life will be as a family of 4.
I wanted 3. But with my strong-willed toddler, and preschooler with special needs, we decided 2 is enough. There are still days I get baby fever and wish for a third, but I know I wouldn't be able to handle it, and we made the best decision to stop at 2.

agreed x10!!! All of their voices, ESPECIALLY Madelyn, are extremely monotone and it's hard to listen and pay attention to what they are saying. They honestly bore the crap out of me and all seem like robotsPlaysinrain wrote:God i hope not, idk how anyone can stand to listen to any of them talk on the vlog for that long.

That little guy sure is cute but man, what a handful.I couldn't imagine.
Kelly is only 40 (I say only because I am too lol). I highly doubt they would freeze anything either. Katie is only 33 or 34, I think 33.whatthepho wrote:Eh that seems a little far fetched to me.
