Once when I was 13yrs old, I asked for something expensive (and really unreasonable now when I look back at it lol), and my mom said it was too expensive and it didn’t fit the Christmas budget. Like a teen, I got mad and told my mom if I couldn’t have that I wanted NOTHiNG! When the presents were passed out on Christmas, there was nothing for me. I was destroyed! Then my mom reminded me to not say things I didn’t mean, and brought my presents out to me from her room. I learned to be happy with what I get, and not be a spoiled brat. I didn’t get THE thing, but I loved each gift I was given and it’s never been about gifts ever since.
@@TheKnallkorper thank you for that. She has been the most amazing mom and role model and best friend. Unfortunately, she began showing signs of Alzheimer’s 3 years ago, and it has rapidly progressed. Most days she doesn’t recognize me anymore. But I have a million amazing memories with her, and I will never forget how amazing she is.
#1 way to know when you have waaay to many kids = when you need an entire bedroom for their Christmas presents. #2= when you use Christmas as a tool to control, manipulate, or punish your children. #3= WHEN THE CHILDREN ARE BUSTING THROUGH THE CEILING. 😂
Right? Like with that many kids in the house, why not get just one or two gifts per kid. Let the kids pick the gift they really want the most and maybe the second gift be a surprise from the parents. And put a $ limit so one kid isn’t getting something like an iPad and another getting like fuzzy socks. (Nothing wrong with fuzzy socks…I’d honestly be happy to get that 🤣) but still, Christmas isn’t about the presents. I’d be fine not unwrapping a single thing and just spending time and making memories with my family. Consumerism has ruined families
What the?! 😳 We have a blended family and we also take in teens that need emergency placements, and ok I'm not an expert compared to some people but we would NEVER give the consistently well behaved kids more or better than the ones who have severe trauma and therefore struggle and lash out throughout the year. That is actually horrifying! Edit: I put consistently well behaved but honestly even as I wrote it I know it sounds odd/wrong; I don't even know how to word it correctly because we don't divide the kids or treat/gift them on celebrations based on behavior. This is insane to hear!! I am stunned.
I know this comment is older but I would love to know more about the emergency teen placements I feel a calling to help all these kids who need a family I have so much love and support to give
That video triggered me as an adoptive mom. I have 2 that love to test the limits. Christmas is a time for bonding and unconditional love, they won't be told of any short comings on Christmas.
Thank you!!! I have 2 adopted children from foster care and 3 bio 1 of my kids has extreme PTSD she ran away a few weeks ago due to a big mistake she made at school I was just SUPER relieved to find her safe I would never punish her with less gifts instead we had way more family bonding time to reassure her she is human and it's ok to make mistakes and still be loved and accepted
Mindy, the woman with the same color hair as the Mom (Shelly, Crystal's Sister) is also a Sister. She works for Shelly now helping out at with the kids. Mark, their brother now edits Crystal's (crazy pieces) vlogs. Got the whole crazy 🤪 family in on it now. 🤮 The girl drywalling is 17, she'll be kicked by her 18th bday. That's a rule the Crazy Middles family has, no exceptions. That's why they have the spare bedroom now, because Spencer just turned 18, not even done with high-school had to move out (he ended up quitting school, bummer, he was super smart!!). He moved in with his brother who was also adopted by them and left at 17. They move the kids out at 18 as soon as the monthly State funds stop coming in. The oldest moved out, got pregnant in a few months, got gifted a car, she's their obvious favorite. Caught you up a bit! You'll have to do a catch up video on abusive isuck and Melinda from crazy treasures. He's abusive to Scarlet, she just turned 4. When he thinks Melinda doesn't have the camera on him he's either grabbing Scarlet roughly or being abusive to her verbally. It's horrible to watch! The worst part is 😪 Melinda supposedly edits the videos so she sees him treat her daughter that way & is now allowing it! The Mom is a mess, she's doing anything to keep a man even someone unsafe. Her Intellectually Challenged (ID) sister Jamie got quickly moved out and back into the Crazy Pieces house when Isaac attempted sa on Jamie. He & Melinda also stole her Social Security disability fund money when isuck wasn't wanting to get a job. Crystal was letting it all slide because she's a wuss!!! Aaron, Joe and Jared went over and packed Jamie's things all up that very night. They now rarely allow Isaac in cm's videos and never in cm's due to fan hate.
@@tiffany8222 You have got to be kidding? They kicked him out while he was still in high school? That makes me so sad for him. What crappy people. I am not anti family vloggers, AT ALL, but, I must say, the Crazy Pieces, and the Crazy Middles are the exact type of "family vlogger" I do NOT want to be.
I seriously want to cry for those kids. This is all kinds of wrong. Completely goes against what Christmas is all about. This just broke my freaking heart and I am speechless.
Christmas is about love, spending time together, getting gifts and good food. You don’t withhold that shit. You do the best you can with what you have, it’s once a year, you love your kids without boundaries, the end.
The part that really pisses me off is receiving presents based on grade. The likelihood that a lot of those children having learning disabilities is very high, and they're likely undiagnosed. As someone who has ADHD, was diagnosed as a child and then got zero actual help for it until adulthood, I sucked so bad in school. I was punished for bad grades while simultaneously not made to understand my diagnosis and how to learn properly 🙃 disciplining a child that has trouble learning for bad grades only creates resentment from the child.
Everyone has strengths and weaknesses. Some for school is a weakness but have incredible creativity or street smart. Book smart may only have that strength but have no social skills or know how to be creative. Ugh these people are gross.
The favouritism with this family is on another level. You should compare some of their kids birthday videos. For example check out Anavaeh's birthday video compared to Kason's birthday video. Anavaeh went on a shopping trip where she got to pick out a bunch of new clothes and shoes and toys while Kason got one measly $20 toy car. Also Lacey, the one who is pregnant, is like royalty to them.
You nailed on this one for sure. Food, holidays, birthdays, bath time, and bed time are not forms of punishment. if my son had a problem with dinner, he could have a pb&j. But never went to bed hungry
Amen! As a kid my mom would leave me at the table until I ate or I went to bed hungry and she gave it to me for breakfast. I feel bad when my almost 2yr old son doesn’t want much dinner. I’ll always get something in his stomach before bed. The amount of trauma around parents using those times for punishment is CRAZY.
@@courtneya270 me too. I have so many food aversions now!! I didn't even ground them..I didn't like getting up and reminding my kids they were bad 3 weeks later. Maybe a time out, a good talk, a big hug. Now they are on their own and I am so proud of them.
@@JeeperzCreeperz-t2t it’s amazing what kids can accomplish when you treat them like actual people and talk to them. Obviously boundaries need to be set, but kids are smarter than they’re given credit. Wish my mom would have just talked to me about things instead of punishing me for how I was processing my emotions at the time.
@@courtneya270 me too. She still doesn't understand. When you look at her upbringing, I'm lucky it wasn't worse. If we keep it up, we can break those cycles.
I have 9 kids. 3 bio and 6 adopted. 2 from foster care. I can't even imagine giving presents according to their behavior throughout the year. I had a few that when they were teens...holy heck. But I never even thought to 'punish' them at Christmas with less presents. That is just cruel and not fair for any of the kids. And I was Mormon most of my kids growing up years and they were raised Mormon. So I don't think this is a Mormon thing. This family is doing so many things wrong and the kids are suffering. 21 kids is a tad to many. Most think my 9 was to many. I get it. But I love all 9 fiercely.
They don't, they often say it not the grade, it's the effort the child puts Into trying.. They work hard, they get rewarded, no matter the outcome. But I don't agree with the way they do gifts..
Can you imagine if one of the ‘naughty’ kids’ love language is ‘gifts’. They would totally feel like their parents don’t love them on Christmas morning when their siblings get more than they did.
They are punishing them twice! Completely disgusting! They probably do use an app to keep track of who does what thats how disgusting they are! I AM BEYOND PISSED!😡😡😡
I feel you Josh, my mom and I fought the night before my 16th bday and the next day she never said 1 word to me. The whole day. Not a word. I can’t remember any of my bdays really but I clearly remember that. I’ve never felt more unloved. Prob why she’s not in my life now .. but their way of thinking Is shit.. especially with kids who have trauma. Poor babies deserve better.
I’m sorry that happened to you that literally brought tears to my eyes. I never one time want to make my children so lousy on the most beautiful day that can be is the day they were born celebrating it is beautiful. I had a dad similar he totally forgot me from the Pass age of nine. Hope your life is better and you’re stronger
@@kerikaykay07 aww thank you for your kind words. I’m 44 and it took me 42 years to finally stop allowing her toxicity into my life. And you are absolutely correct in never wanting your children to feel an ounce of that. It honestly made me a better parent bc I made sure they never felt unloved. ♥️
My jaw dropped when she said the kids who have behaved poorly during the year get less presents. What a great way to show that your love for them is conditional!
I love the idea, you shouldn't be rewarded for acting shitty. The Crazy Middles are an amazing family and their children are genuinely good kids, I think it gives them something to do better for. I wish all kinds in foster care would get the kind of family as Shelly and Crystals families.
And they aren't exploited, the kids get to decide whether they want to be on film or not. If they don't want to then you don't see them. Stop talking crap about families who are actually giving these kids good lives. Ive heard so many horror stories from foster care and even adoption.
That’s like what my husband is like with me. He’s the responsible one and my adult son and I shoot each other in the butt with a BB gun when he’s home for the summer. 😄
We need to see more wife faces when you do and wear crazy things. Oh the poor woman what she goes through with you LOL no you have a great marriage just like I used to but he's in heaven wish I could see one of his silly faces again. Sending Tons of love from a Kentucky granny.💙
Holy shit, I have so much to say. First just let me say this. I remember watching CP and CM Christmas vlogs last year. And at the end of them I was filled with so much sadness. All I could think of was all the other little kids that watched those vlogs too and were left wondering why Santa didn't bring them those large, expensive, elaborate gifts. Maybe Santa didn't bring them even one gift. It broke my heart to think of how many little ones would watch those vlogs and their little hearts would break. How can these family vloggers not see that? Or maybe it's just me watching them as an empath. Also, as Mormons, who I would assume understand the reason we celebrate Christmas...how can they justify USING Christmas as a time to punish kids for their behavior throughout the past 12 months? That is, hands down, one of the worst things I've ever heard. Can you imagine the frustration of having an undiagnosed learning disability, struggling through school, getting punished when you get your report card AND knowing you would likely get less at Christmas?
Yes Santa should bring one small gift the rest should be from parents other kids who aren’t as wealthy do not deserve to feel like they are not worthy it’s just a money thing!
SALLY BROWN: I was robbed! I spent the whole night waiting for the Great Pumpkin when I could have been out for tricks or treats! DCP: WHERE'S ALL THE TIPS AND TRICKS?!" SAME. ENERGY.🤣
That daughter was full blown acting. Can you imagine your every day being filmed- how can you ever turn it off? Its like they're conditioned to behave upbeat and peppy all the time for camera
The first time I stumbled upon their channel I noticed that when some of the kids are on camera they look like they are acting or putting up a fake happy persona on camera and I noticed on one video…one of the youngest girl Geneva or whatever her name was just watching her older sister normal but as soon as the camera was pointed at her she looked like she was caught off guard looked at the person behind the camera then she smiled hard and went and hugged her sister)
Josh, I always love your show. You always make me laugh. The girl that got her hair dyed and then dyed again is one of the Crazy Pieces, Crazy Middles, sister. I hate to be mean but she looks like she ran face first into the back of a city bus. The girl who dropped the totes down the stairs is one of their older daughters who still lives at home. I 100% agree with you about giving more gifts to one because they did better in school but not so many presents to those that struggled. Christmas is not the time to punish kids or make a point. Christmas is about making kids happy and giving them most of what they want. How dare they hold kids accountable for something they did in March on Christmas morning. It's no wonder that some of these kids move out as soon as they turn 18. One of their adopted son's, Spencer, moved out when he turned 18 and moved in with his bio family. He came back to visit one day and the mother barely acknowledged he was there. When he went to Homecoming he went to the Crazy Pieces house to get ready and to celebrate but completely left these idiots out of the picture. To me, that says so much about the way these kids feel about them.
Wow what r u to the crazy middles? I am just asking cause u said that Spenser moved out and mouvement in with his bio mother. I know when u adopt 21 kids. These kids don't get any attention that they should have. But to fi d out one of her adopted kids spencer moved at and mouved in with his bio mother wow i was in shock.
Tbh as a foster kid the whole present thing us a trigger to me. I still had contact visitations with my bio mum. My brother was also in foster care but my sister lived with my mum. My presents were always of less value to what my brother and sister got. One year all I wanted was a nice bean bag for Christmas for my bedroom. I got one all right but it you could tell it was from a market stall and was meant for a 5 yr old (I was 12). My brother got £40 cash and my sister got a chenille jumper. I was so upset and hurt. One thing you need to look into is their LACK OF PREP for birthdays. Both Crystal and Shelly wrap the present on the day just before the party. Crystal often goes put on the day to buy the gifts or takes the older ones out to choose what they want. Shelly buys the presents in advance but often looses the gifts as she forgets where she has put them. So she looks for them on their actual birthday and vlogs herself looking for gifts. This annoys me so much.
My parents always told us if we ever tried to find our presents before Christmas day, they'd take them back and we'd get nothing. Once I was trying to watch TV through my doorway, but they were wrapping presents, and my dad saw me. He thought I was trying to peek, and scolded me and closed my door. But I did get presents the next day. 😝 I've told my kids the same thing, though. If you try to find the presents, they go back. A huge part of the fun on Christmas is for us parents to see the look on the kids faces when they open that thing they've been hoping for for ages! I'm seriously so excited about some of my kids' presents this year, things they've hoped for, saved for, and I get to give them as gifts and it's going to be awesome!
While one rides a bike to work everyday & taking college classes but the one that’s doing nothing but having a baby gets a car that irritated me more then anything
My younger sister was always so much better than me in school. I passed, but struggled. My sister was always in honors. If my parents were like these crazy parents, my sister would have likely been the favourite and gotten more gifts. I'm glad my mom treated us equally and has always tried to make our gifts as equal as possible. It's harder as we get older and our needs/wants change, but she still doesn't treat one different or "better" than the other, and we are all close now. These people's kids will likely leave the house as soon as they can, and then just move on with their lives. It's so sad. It's also very sad how the girl in the video seems trained how to act when the camera is on. And people enjoy watching family vloggers...why? When most of them are fake and it's mostly an act.
What Josh said about the grades and behavior thing is so true! It’s hard to see other parents flop so badly at Christmas. And with a group of kiddos that could use all of the love, forgiveness and support this time of year can offer. Hanging on to negativity and always keeping score seems like a really sucky way to live life, especially for children that have already been given an unfair start. Sorry, this is a massive parenting fail. Clearly she already knows that because she said she got a lot of flack for it last year, just doesn’t care to learn and change her stance. 😡
The fact that they are basing behavior for how many or how nice their gifts are, and can’t see that these kids are coming from TRAUMA! of course they will have struggles and should be loved, cared for and guided not punished! Omg I’m so mad. If any of their foster children see this or any foster children at all see this: I love you. You ARE worth it. Your worth is not based on materialistic things. Any struggle you have is valid, and I wish I could be there for you. You deserve the world! You deserve UNCONDITIONAL love and patience and kindness. ❤️
Josh, you need to send them your video , to remind them that these kids will be traumatized for the rest of their lives. Their favourite one is Lacy and it’s unbelievable how much things they buy her including a brand new car which she didn’t even need it, since her boyfriend has a car. Spencer left and went back to his bio family and when they gave Lacy her car, Spencer say is that what I need to do is get a girl pregnant!! Lacy got pregnant at 18 and she is unmarried (not that it matters) but being a Christian family, you would think that it would not be acceptable. They only have 11 kids at home now and not 21.
They seemed to be happy she got pregnant so young. Both mom and Crystal had their first child very young. I feel like they are rewarding getting pregnant as a teen. I not saying they should have disowned lacy or even been made but they just seem way to happy about it. I guessing they are thinking how much money they will make off this baby.
@@jencatlady8092 I think that was all a front and they were probably really shocked. This girl has never worked at a real job, but she got her entire town home furnished and they purchased all of her groceries. Me neither, they should not disowned them, not at all, but these people are hiding a lot of things behind the cameras. I feel like the younger ones are being neglected not by material things, but the one on one time with both of their parents. I always feel back for the dark skin little boy who is always smiling (sorry I can’t recall his name). I hope that they are not like that we him, because he seems like such a sweetie. Now she has her sister helping out with the young ones and she has her doing her house cleaning. They are ALL crazy in my opinion, including the kids channels. They live in a very different world, than I do for sure. The fact that they brag about rewarding or not rewarding the kids, makes me ill and it should never be about that. Kids are kids and they all come from different background, but they are al traumatized kids unfortunately. One has a car that she didn’t need and Lizzy takes her bike because she got a real job and going to nursing school and moving back to St-John. You would think that she would be the one needing the car to be able to travel to school and visiting home. They are a weir bunch.
Please do not say that their kids aren’t their kids just because they’re adopted, especially as you are an adoptive parent. If you adopt a kid, they are your kids, as a child of adoption I find it incredibly upsetting saying their kids aren’t theirs because they got them through adoption
It is really awesome, hopefully Josh doesn't get electrocuted! Either was I want that sweater for my husband lol..... Promise, I am not trying to electrocute him.... 🤔 or am i.... Just kidding!!!!
That peed me off…… so the kid who opens the least on Christmas morning feels less loved plus the fact that the other kids all know who was the least well behaved! For my kids they all get a fresh start on Christmas, regardless of the fact that they are all good kids anyway!
Yeah, I had to stop watching cause that really upset me. But finished the video. There's a comment on that video where someone says they do the samething.
Not only that but, it could be SO subjective perhaps if she connects more with a child. It happens, so that child's transgressions may not bother her as much. Unless she has so app for tracking that BS too. 🙄
Also, based on their logic,, I wonder if the kid who put a hole in the wall is now getting less. I have a feeling not, because surely their way of gifting is simply based on favoritism and if they like your personality you will get more. I don't even care if thats an assumption, I am so mad at these parents punishing traumatized kids like this.
Yeah, of course they’re not punishing Cynthia, she’s almost in all of their videos. She brings the money 😐. But you know what, I feel like even if their bio son Landon misbehaved, or wasn’t exceptional at school, or doesn’t appear in their videos much, they would probably spend a good amount on his gifts. This makes me feel bad for the other adoptive kids, especially the boys, where the judgement is probably harsher on them. My heart goes out to them 😔😔.
Josh I beg you to cover the Labrants gender reveal!! The intro is Cole literally offering money for people to subscribe to their new channel. I cringed so hard I need your reaction 🤣
We were expected to do our best in school...myself, who naturally excelled in that environment, was expected to get mostly A's...my brother who is dyslexic(30 years ago school was much harder for kids w/dyslexia) had to try his hardest and it didn't matter what his report card said.
We have a bit of a budget. I have three grandkids, we do the each person gets the equal amount of gifts. Now if one of the kids gets a expensive gift, they don’t get the equal amount of gifts. BUT they are told this I’d why you got one gift and the other two got more than one. We spend the same amount on all of them. One might get one big thing while the other two get two or three that are the same amount as the one that got one.
Like how your family does gifts, Josh. “Something you want, something you need, something to wear, something to read, something from Santa”. Makes gift buying a bit easier👍
They’re disgusting. Even my dog still gets a ton of Christmas gifts and he misbehaves at least twice a week 😂. All of their children should be treated equally. Especially on Christmas. One of my siblings was constantly in trouble and always grounded during his teenage years, yet my parents still bought him the same amount of presents as the rest of us.
When they bought the house they got a guest room they were smarter than the crazy middles. Trying is hard enough with a few kids let alone 15 living at home to keep secret presents And the son that left went to live with his bio brother after he turned 18.
Gifts are never to be used as punishment for anything. A gift is something that comes from the heart and thoughts of that person and what they want or need. This is terrible parenting.
Lmao although I don’t agree with everything u say especially with Crazy pieces. You’re facial expressions are HILARIOUS😭😭 I don’t love the crazy middles either!
They don’t know who that person is either Josh. Could be fam, could be a kids friend, neighbour kid, some one who wandered in off the streets 🤣 with that many kids, they have no idea, but just roll with it assuming it’s one of theirs, just in case 😂
This girl is 16 and one of the 2 that are homeschooled. Christmas for years has been about bribing the kids :) We never got even amounts of packages or $$ somewhat close but we all at different ages growing up. This is WAY too many kids for anyone to have or even add after some have moved on. The big tip is at the END. That other lady is her sister Mindy and I think she works for them in someway
My son has a learning disorder so i understand what you are saying here. He doesn’t read well and he is in support services to learn and help with his test & such. Not being able to read literally affects every subject. I could never do this to him. This is truly terrible! They should be ashamed. As far as the behavior, nah that’s not ok either. You cant punish kids at the time and at the end of the year for bad behavior. That’s wrong.
You need a new shirt…”I HATE THESE PEOPLE” lol… I can’t even imagine buying presents for 21 kids. Oh I love how you love Christmas Josh! Makes me love it more too. Merry Merry Snarkmas! Can’t wait to hear your story. 🎅🏻🎄🎅🏻
Hey Josh; I am impressed that he would take time to show his daughter how to install a new knob and lock. My dad did the same thing; whatever he taught my brothers to do, he taught me. I even had my own chain saw at the age of 10 to help clear out trees around our cottage property. The lessons have come in so handy over the years I continue to thank him for teaching me.
Not manly or special just so you know 😬 not saying every daughter gets taught this but your falling for their formula. They show this “good dad” project and then talk about how they judge the shit out of the kids until Christmas. Awful. Sad that people find it impressive but not surprised. The nuclear family is in the toilet these days. It’s like you’re missing the big crappy point
I saw a meme the other day that said “Dad, thank you for teaching me how to be a man even though I’m your daughter” and it reminded me of the things my dad had taught me along with my brothers…how to change my oil and a flat tire, how to drive a stick shift, how to use tools properly, how to negotiate when making a big purchase, how to safely handle, shoot, and maintain a gun and be a responsible gun owner, the importance of a good strong hand shake and eye contact, etc. I could go on and on but I’m grateful that he taught me these things even though I have a wonderful husband who is happy to do them for me, knowing that I can do them myself when I choose to is priceless to me.
I'm so glad your covering this one, I watched it and felt so sad for those kids. Don't take kids in if your not going to love them unconditionally and treat them equally. Everyone should get the same budget for Christmas.
Mindy is their sister here and Cynthia are usually holding the camera. Cynthia is like 17, she moved out with Lacey but then got homesick and moved back in.
Only 14 kids live at home. The oldest daughters Kylie and Destiny are married with Lacey pregnant. The three older boys are out and are about 20 years or so with Spencer just turning 18 who moved out. Then they have an honorary daughter who lives on her own. Lacey is definitely the favorite.
Hot dog in a hallway LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO this made me die lol. These two are absolutely disgusting. I really can't stand the whole crazy clan and how they do things. I can't believe CPS or anyone of the higher powers hasn't stepped in.
All 21 kids do not live at home. Some are grown, married or on their own so only the younger ones are still at home. Even though they give based on how they did all year, they will still get a ton of stuff. Go watch last Christmas etc and see all the crap they get. Yes it is over the top and I wouldn't want to buy for even 10 kids much less how many they have.
As a former foster kid I have had a foster family that just got me clothes that didn’t fit one shirt one pair of pants. And their other kids got new Jordan’s and new phones and everything they wanted. It hurt me so bad and I cried for the whole day I felt like I wasn’t wanted.
Dude, if you think the adoption agency gives a shit if one kid gets more gifts than the others, you are in for a massive disappointment. There over 100,000 kids that are still waiting to be adopted. And guess what? None of them get any freaking gifts on christmas because they have NO ONE.
As someone who recently has a foster sister from a sudden situation this makes me so mad. My sister isn't doing well in school (neither am I tbh) but since she's not really had a good Christmas or very many we're getting her what we can (household of 7 so lots of people to buy presents for). Quite a few things we didn't wait until Christmas because she doesn't have a lot yet and she was real excited about it in the store because she hadn't been to a large store in 9 years. Of course growing up in a bad situation she's going to be set in a certain mindset and struggle with school but I couldn't imagine punishing her for that. I like having a little sister to buy things for. I hope she enjoys this Christmas
I remember one year my sister got this huge handmade doll house my mom made complete with all the little furniture she made , it was so elaborate. I got one that she picked up from a thrift store , minimal furniture , no dolls to go with it, and I was out right hurt, there is a picture of us in front of the houses, her grinning from ear to ear and me staring at her house. I dont think it was really about the doll house, I always felt I was treated different , and that made me realize that I was.
Their parenting is soooo far from 'trauma-informed'- their present method is basically just rewarding the more privileged of their children for not experiencing childhood trauma that effects their behavior...or for hiding their troubles better than others. As an adopted person, putting conditions on love (which is what this would feel like) is extra tough.
Of the two moms, Crazy Middles mom is way more controlling. Her kids are expected to walk the line. Which is fine, but I agree with you, if they have already been punished then they shouldn't be punished again at Christmas. I imagine getting less makes them feel like less and it also breeds resentment with their siblings. That makes me so sad. It's no wonder kids leave her house as soon as they turn 18. How can you really have close family bonds if you are "labeled" a bad kid based on the amount of Chrismtas presents you get? Shame on them. They should know better. They are dealing with children that are emotionally fragile. How can they be so cruel?
They have 21 kids but only 12 live at home. This is their guest room. They have 9 bedrooms. 2 sets of 3 kids share as they wanted too. The blonde haired lady is Mindy Shelly and Crystals sister. The brown haired who put the hole in the wall is one of their kids Cynthia who is 18
First of all, christmas is a time of forgiveness and coming together. Not punishment and competition. Second, rewarding for academic accomplishment is done to ability. If you have a child who struggles, you set a realistic goal. Last semester you got this grade, lets try for one grade higher next semester, and I'll help you study. We'll set this reward. You compare with the child's effort, not between children's potential.
We do the same for our kids. Something you want, something you need, etc. And then 1 present from Santa and a stocking full of basics from Santa (hair accessories, face cloths, cute shape soaps, candy cane, socks, sunglasses, new pencils, bubbles, etc). The stocking is the boring aunt gift 🤣 but they're still young so it's exciting to them.
Hi Josh: This is so right-on, these people are so rich & dumb at the same time - guess that isn't necessarily mutually exclusive - a request for you: Please can you do some vlogs on the "Our Tribe of Many" crew - they are the Duggars 2.0, for sure! Thanks, and have a great Holiday, hope you relax and enjoy with your fam!
Ooo my god.... if you dont like their channel, why are you using their content and video for making content for your channel.... This is also not correct in my opinion. You language is really bullying others.... Its their channel they do what they want. why you worryy....
They probably don't go out of pocket for Xmas gifts as much as you think...Typically kids in Foster care get tons of gifts donated through different organizations & through those Angel Trees where people pull tags with kids wish lists on them. One year, I was even able to get Home Depot to donate 50 trees that I handed out to Foster families. I guarantee that they get lots of outside help & that's why they haven't started shopping yet.
A couple of things. I took a deep dive into your channel and my mind is blown that Asa has another child. Seriously mind blown! Secondly you are so funny! I'm from Queens, NY and you remind me of all of the old school no nonsense neighborhood guys. Heart of gold but stand for absolutely no bullshit.
I had a lot of learning issues in school, my parents gave my sister and I fair amount of small gifts then as a big gift cd player, playstation, stuff like that were a big gift we got
Throwing it out there - I’m sure you know already, but Coleslaw had a gender reveal. I’d LOVE to see your reaction 😂 ETA… my heart completely breaks for these kids. As someone with PTSD, this just hurts. They’re assholes. I would never, EVER treat my kids differently at Christmas bc of their behavior throughout the year. The moment the behavior happens is when it’s dealt with. Not December 25th.
Who tf are these people??? They suck at parenting. I couldn’t imagine how the kids who don’t get stuff at Xmas feels…..totally feels like double jeopardy….I hate these family vloggers. Thanks Josh for the great video
