Nobody really asked if fostercare is "like shopping" and if they did, I hope that person never has any kids (bio or adopted)

And I disagree, some people can be "too far gone" or "too messed up". But it doesn't mean they can't be loved. There is a better way of phrasing it but some people are beyond a stage where you can just "wipe everything clean and start fresh" - they will have experiences/mannerisms/triggers that will sit with them till they die, that's true eith anyone

Not sure if this was talked about since I don’t follow too closely on here but I just watched that one and was INSANELY irritated how aurora forced her way into decorating what Scarlett picked with her mom and clearly wanted to do. But what is Melinda supposed to do when she’s under crystals control. If me and my children pick out decorations and they want to decorate their one small space I wouldn’t let their entitled spoiled cousin like aurora take that from them. Aurora will get to do so much decorating coming up this season in that entire house but Scarlett couldn’t do it in the small space she has. And I doubt crystal will let Scarlett help out much if at all also. It’s sad that Melinda probably felt she couldn’t step in and stop it because she would risk causing issues. She didn’t even seem to enjoy herself on the fidget trip either but probably felt she had no option but to join if she wanted Scarlett to be able to join the fun also.

watching aurora insert herself in everything, opening fan mail, snatching gifts even, all of it. You can still teach children with disabilities right from wrong and discipline them. She’s insanely rude. Even when she opens her own gifts like the ones Alex got her for her birthday she barely said thank you and only cared to see what else was there rather than be appreciative. They push Evie aside and act like she over steps or talks out of turn, when Evie clearly is reaching for attention & longing to try and find a relationship with her parents that they completely ignore and don’t want and they definitely don’t reciprocate. Yet they are raising aurora to be one of the most rude & selfish kids they have. That child has a room packed with junk, has no manners, believes she is the center of the attention at all times and has more entitlement then all of them together. And there’s no way they are working on that behavior or discipline at all because it has only gotten worse and worse! I can’t imagine what it’s like for the other kids to have to deal with her when the cameras are off.

Well, there's a surprise! Another day, another road trip, another day off school. Does anyone in that house actually attend school for a full week?

Somewhere along the way, it seems that family life has become one never-ending YouTube production, complete with holidays, shopping trips, endless surprises and, of course, a camera shoved in everyone's face.

And Aroraaaaaa! Of course she's delighted to be skipping school. Why wouldn't she be? When your life seems to revolve around getting what you want, going where you want and being the centre of attention, school must be such an inconvenience!

What really bothers me is that some of these children have additional needs. Surely routine, stability, education and a little privacy should come before yet another trip designed to produce three days' worth of YouTube content?

At this point, I'm beginning to wonder whether the school calendar is just something they keep around for decoration.

But hey, who needs a consistent education when there's another theme park to visit and a thumbnail to make? 🙄

Anyone else getting tired of the never-ending holidays and the obvious favouritism?

She actually paid attention to the things she likes. Even though she hardly knows her, her own mom wouldn't even do that. Crystal always cheaps out on Evie's gifts It was very sweet of emelyn to get Evie a gift and you could tell Evie was so happy about it

I meant to say that emelyn gave Evie a better gift than her own mom

I noticed people tend to hate on the middles for not giving their kids as many experiences as Crystal for always take him on vacation, but seeing how much they’re in debt makes me realize I think the middles are just responsible with the money and the pieces aren’t so from the outside. It probably looks like the pieces have more fun but look at them in their stress. The middles hang out with their dad and they smile and they laugh and they enjoy going to the grocery store even while the pieces kids get so many surprises they’re not even satisfied with little things anymore. I don’t know. I just think it’s very crazy but personally, I think I would rather be with the middles If I had to pick.

I can't help but cringe ever since their money situation was shown. The LAST thing they need to be doing is buying squishies and going to Disneyland. I did a quick look up and the cheapest I found for 6 adults and 1 child is $776. That doesn't include extra food, extra night at the hotel. Of course Aurora is now on her 2nd trip and no one else who went to Horror Nights is on the Toy Launch trip.

Edit to add: Crystal in the elevator saying no phone trip, next scene, Aurora on her phone in the hotel room. It had to be not even 3 min later.

I did like how Crystal, for whatever reason, let Evie open the "surprise" at home. Aurora was ready to SNATCH that package out of Crystal's hands SOOO FAST!!

In today’s long, they are sponsored by a hotel near Disney and surprise the girls that they will have an extra day on their trip going to Disney. towards the end of the video as they are waiting for fireworks to appear Evie asked Crystal, which park are they going to at Disney? Crystal literally replies back saying oh I don’t know. haven’t ordered the tickets yet. Also, another thing while they were watching the fireworks Aurora shared how she is scared of fireworks and that they are loud in noise. Crystal then advised her to come watch from the window as it is more sensory friendly.
Wasn’t it just last week that Aurora went to the haunted houses at Universal Studios that is not sensory friendly either or even for a child her age. Did anyone catch this?

melinda’s body language was so off in this video. almost as if she was forced to go on the trip because of scarlet going?? idk. i might be reading too much into it, but she just looked so uncomfortable

How can they act like so rich when their backyard looks like crap. So much junk and broken stuff.

Is that the kid they showed during the movie night scene?

Has Aaron completely given up on Crazy Pieces?? Aka Crystal? I haven't seen him in any family blogs. I think hes fed up with Crystal & the blog but she cares more about it than him. Ford God sakes, put the camera down & FIX UR MARRIAGE......but she wont.

Disgusting. Crystal if collecting tiny toys makes Bella happy you don’t have be rude about it. I’m tired of all the “you have enough” comments. You collect actual kids for Christ sakes!! Have you seen spoiled aurora room?!?! But you never tell her no… you absolutely are a horrible human and an awful mother.

I watched bits and pieces and what caught my eye were the locks on bella's closet doors! Gee, I can't imagine why someone would need to lock stuff in their closets!! I wonder what other siblings lock their doors?

In the vlog where they are leaving for Horror nights, Bella mentioned her car is unreliable and sounds like crap.
Didn’t she just get a new car?

How stupid is Crystal !!!

Not listening to drs at all and thinking she knows best
And now exposing Bella’s open wounds to her non clean hands and the frigging cling film …

As someone who nearly died of an infection which caused sepsis this really annoyed me

Really Crystal- she doesn't even know the basic idioms correct. Watching paint dry is describing an activity as being particularly boring or tedious. A watched pot never boils is what she should have said.

I can't believe no one is talking about what was going on in St Johns. Lucas being bullied,etc..I was a little confused with the other racism story with Alex..I may need to re-watch that part.

Alex doing things and watching over his 21 siblings. Sorry but wondering if I missed something that it was his idea doing this while girl friend away. Anyway he definitely did a FANTASTIC job cooking for all of them at one time. How nice to see most of them seated waiting for their dinner and happy, Alex did a great job for sure. His siblings needed this attention and to be with the ones that could be there.

Surprises, Assumptions, Foster Care story, the only 3 type of videos you ever see on this channel

I dont think we have seen or heard of him for a while. I hope he is doing ok

Is there a fence around the pool? Saint’s bed leads directly to the pool. All he’d have to do is open the sliding glass door in his room and the pool is right there.

Here we go again! Saint gets a new bed that I guess looks like a race car. Wonder if someone keeps an eye on him at night. He can easily crawl over the mattress and go anywhere. Nice VLOG to sleep through.

Crystal mentioned a few kids moving out in a couple months. What are everyone's guesses

does max still have the gf that went on the cruise?
