In Julie's vlog today she was talking about how the city she grow up in had a yearly parade for "Troy day". And that she remembered how she and her sisters always wanted to go to see the parade but Jennifer made them weed the garden. They were hearing the parade in the distance and asked to be allowed to go, but weren't because their lovely mother made them continue pulling weeds.
I'm all for kids having chores and helping around the house, but how can a mother be so heartless to not let them go and see that parade? Couldn't they weed the day before, or even the hours before and after the parade? That is just mean and cruel.
I thought this was a bit weird Julie brought this up about her mom and yes, why not weed later and go to the parade. My underlying though was she trying to make herself look like the better parent. The dynamics between the Griffiths daughters and their mother is odd.
This was from Bonnie's Assumed Wrong about me vlog. Her measure of success is unlike my own and I see Bonnie and her siblings having substantial problems.
I do things probably more similar to the way my parents did things than any of my other siblings...I would say yes hands down I do things most similar to the way my parents did and they and the reason I like to do that is because they were successful my parents have five very well-rounded successful children and and that's what I want I want well-rounded successful children.

Those rat tail braids gotta go! Her poor natural hair is just flat out going to fall out! If I were her I’d seriously quit fucking with the extensions. I’d maybe think about a wig if I couldn’t stand my own frizzy mess till it grew out and hopefully got healthy again. Those braids look like they r pulling out what’s left of her soul.
This made me laugh like a maniac. Because it's true.
She'd rather go bald than take care of what's left of her hair. Insane.

The Griffiths may not realize how messed up their dynamic is, but the husbands absolutely should. Shame on Joel forletting Bonnie treat his kids so poorly (and for honestly not being much better). He was raised in a happy home with loving parents that clearly respect boundaries (because we rarely see them so I doubt they are overstepping). Shame on Joel for letting this entire train wreck continue.

I’m sure you noticed that Olivia had to take over Bonnie’s washing/drying dishes duties while, I guess, Bonnie was doping herself up. I bet Joel is teaching the kids to walk on eggshells around Bonnie in order to avoid her rages. Father of the year. Poor Olivia looks sad and upset in all of the videos now.
So funny how the Griffith’s girls hate doing dishes so badly yet refuse to get/use a dishwasher.

Bonnie is the only one without a dishwasher. I think even grandma griff got one recently.

I remember that. They aren't "well-rounded and successful". Maybe I'm weird, but I don't consider YT success as "successful" especially when the channels are losing views and the people have no way to replace that income. Before YT, Ellie says they were living on potatoes. Kevin is successful, but he's not one of the Griffiths' kids. And I suppose Beau is successful because we don't hear about him.
But those daughters-- they're all obsessed with pleasing Jennifer and act as though she can do no wrong. I loved my mom, and look up to her. But yeah, I definitely do some things differently because I know she was not perfect. And she would be the first to admit that, too. She even said sometimes there were things she wished she had done differently.

I didn't have the feeling that she was trying to make herself look like the better parent. But even if: good for her
I think the reason they go to California is to get away from the kids and write off the whole trip along with the medical. Utah has really good Drs. She is just using that as an excuse. Did Joel go to California for his plugs?

I think they went to Canada for the plugs for some reason

It was Canada. Werent the plugs sponsored/partly sponsored? They made a big deal about the Dr who did them and showed the entire procedure.
I worry so much for the kids. I grew up around someone who wasn’t diagnosed, but had to be bipolar. On days when this person wore glasses you knew it was going to be a bad day, full of ranting and mood swings. On good days, the person was really put together, charming, and fun. It was very stressful trying to decide as a child which person you were going to have to deal with that day.
Do Bonnie’s kids feel this way too? I wish I could foster or adopt a lot of these YouTube kids.

Maybe she writes it off because she has to look good for her sponsors. Didn't she say that recently about her fake nails?

Best comment this board has ever had
Just had to let that be known!
So I just watched today's vlog after reading the comments about her hair.
It was so greasy it looked wet...
Soaking. Wet. I hope I'm wrong and it was actually wet, but, knowing what I know about her hygiene- it's oil. Holy hell.
I'm sorry, but this is vile. If you can unleash an endless rant over kids toys, you can wash your damn hair.
This is just straight up gross!
How many of you also know not to baby proof or hide knives knowing there are unattended little children wondering around your home? Patron Saint of Perfection Jennifer for the win... Grandma of the year. Who knows what Tommy could have done to hurt himself.
They're, Jennifer. They're. Not "their" making cookies.
No wonder Olivia can't spell. Her mom and aunts don't know when to use woman vs women, and nobody in the family knows how to use their, there, and they're or your and you're.
And of course she doesn't kid proof her kitchen. She would rather her grandkids were good than safe. I will never get past her saying that. She's whacked. Her mom was probably whacked before her, but nowadays, people have access to all kinds of knowledge. When you know better, you do better. Cases in point: extended rear facing car seats weren't a thing when my kids were little. But when my kids have kids, I expect them to employ better safety measures than I did. I rode my bike everywhere without a helmet growing up. But when my kids got bikes, you bet they wore helmets!
I just don't understand that kind of willful ignorance.
I only check in on the vlogs every few months now. As always, I like seeing the kids. But omg Bonnie just falls farther and farther down her weird rabbit hole. It's sad to see. Also, that part with the kids toys in the latest video really grated on me and highlights one of my biggest pet peeves with Bonnie. She is SO harsh and hard on those kids sometimes. You can be stern without being an asshole. Of course kids need to learn to take care of their things and be grateful. But (correct me if I'm wrong, I just skimmed tbh) it's not like they were breaking or ruining their toys, the room was just messy.

I haven't seen Bonnie talk at this super fast pace. Joel, come on, you don't see what's going on with your wife while you edit this vlog.
Joel is the CLASSIC CO-DEPENDENT! Crazy families are stuck together with Krazy Glue! The dynamic wouldn’t work if he were emotionally/ mentally healthy!

I don’t know how delayed anyone’s vlogs are anymore, but Ellie mentioned in an Instagram story that she took her kids toys away and they have to earn them back one at a time. It’s possible the sisters are having a pissing contest about who has the better behaved kids or the most control. Bonnie’s reaction could have been in response to Ellie’s struggles last week, or Ellie’s could have been in response to Bonnie’s...
100% we are seeing them repeating the patterns they experienced when they were children. Children are to be controlled and not respected.
<---- this is really my face right now...... Speechless!
