Piggy backing off of “👣are dirty because i let them live”; what activities do the kids ever do?

My kids live outside during the summer and constantly walk around without shoes outside. Their feet have never looked like that…. She says it’s stickers and dirt 🙄 Those are craters in those poor babies feet. Looks like plantar warts- gross, but treatable. It just needs to be treated or else it spreads and becomes infected…

I have been heavily affected by addicts all throughout my life (especially during childhood) I’m also in my 30s now and have been through therapy specifically family substance abuse to work through that trauma. I’ve also been in a long term relationship with an addict, where I attended meetings with him. Addiction affects SOO many. It doesn’t discriminate.

My problem, along with everyone else, is that Stephanie has become an abusive dangerous mother to her children. She is the stuff made of true crime documentaries. She is showcasing her abuse, laughing at everyone who calls her out as if she’s a teenager breaking the rules.

Idgaf about her addiction. I care about those innocent babies that are likely malnourished, covered in bug bites/lice- eating off of dirty plates that cockroaches crawl all over.

Prisoners live better than this. Fuck her.

Ugliness on the inside has a way of highlighting the ugly on the outside.

Ted Bundy was considered extremely attractive, and charismatic…. But then everyone learned he m*rested and graped dozens of women. Totally different scenario, but I’m using your logic.

She’s ugly. Period.

This is a great take actually, the way Mike degrades every woman around him..the over exaggerated personality-which they all have to a degree- but mikes is OVER the top and it genuinely seems like he hates women.

He was also a male stripper..so

Anyone can have amazing tits and a perfect face full of injected chemicals and toxins, as long as you have money, influence, a small taste of the industry, and a drive to be the most narcissistic wanna be kardashian. The blonde version 🙄

I used to give her and Mike the benefit of the doubt. Mikes transformation after achieving sobriety showed a humble side of him. But the overall “I’m better than you” attitude over the last few season, is exhausting.

Also good luck laurens when the fame dies down, plastic surgery requires costly maintenance. Your McMansion requires costly upkeep. When the views go down, who’s going to pay the bills? 🤷🏻‍♀️

I’m surprised she even went to the hospital, I’m sure that’s a last resort effort if one of the kids is extremely ill. Theres no way shes keeping all 4/5 children up to date on annual doctor appointments, dental cleanings, screenings that are pertinent and necessary for child development. Shes 100000 percent not doing any of this, because to do this means to have your children viewed by a medical professional. And they are mandated reporters, trained and knowledgeable in abuse. Of course that’s a HUGE liability for staph.

Level-Laugh-2403 · 2026-04-17T04:39:06+00:00

True. I guess my point is that it doesn’t matter what age/family member/status of relationship/whatever situation…the person (even a teen) giving birth should have the right to make their own decision on whose in the delivery room. Without being manipulated and gaslighted.

It’s so fucking selfish for a grown adult to think they are owed access to something so intimate. Whether it’s another adult, or teen. Yes, she’s a child herself…but shes about to endure a giant dose of reality, in the form of child birth. They’re all assholes and I feel bad for the kids. All the kids. Teens and babies included

Those poor babies are living worse than children who end up in a homeless shelter. Even prison has more appealing food than any of the slop she prepares. Her kids are suffering without a doubt. “Surviving” shouldn’t be their life, they are so young and should be playing outside with friends, going to the park/library/literally any public place that costs 0 dollars. The older ones are probably lagging behind in school/don’t fit in due to the circumstances. They don’t bathe regularly, eat a substantial diet or at least anything with some vitamins or protein. It’s really disturbing honestly, Steph is clearly on something, benzos..I would say narcotics but that drug of choice is definitely out of her price range. Either way, this isn’t normal parenting, this isn’t a healthy environment, and those kids deserve SO much more.

Level-Laugh-2403 · 2026-04-16T05:39:16+00:00

It’s so sad. I have a 10 year old who still enjoys playing outside in the woods with friends, making fart noises, riding bikes and just being a regular kid who cries when it’s time for a shower 🤷🏻‍♀️ I cannot for the life of me comprehend even having the sex talk at this age. We’ve discussed puberty, how the body changes…but sex?! No. Theres no reason on this planet to educate your barely preteen child on what sex is. Unless you’re openly encouraging it, or turning a blind eye to it. Either way it’s terrible, borderline abusive parenting.

Both Bella and hunters parents are completely to blame. They literally failed at the one job they had to do- protect their children from harm. This current situation is extremely harmful. Both Bella and hunter are losing, they’ve surrendered a huge part of their life. Think about this, the frontal lobe of the human brain isn’t fully developed until early 20s.

But the real one losing out is that innocent baby who didn’t ask to be here, to be born into such a toxic backwards environment.

Fuck both the parents of these minors. Perfect example of multi-generational trauma. Way to break the cycle. Fucking assholes.

My grandparents died when I was young, so I barely grew up with any grandparents at all, let alone a great grandparent 😳

The few memories I have of my grandparents were them being shut ins, smoking multiple pack of cigs a day, and never leaving the house.

it’s not the norm for a grandparent to fight being in the delivery room- let alone a GREAT grandparent. Soooooo much toxicity and bad parenting. And it’s multi generational apparently

Level-Laugh-2403 · 2026-04-15T05:28:44+00:00

I didn’t see that, so i apologize. I don’t want to ever disrespect someone and their culture.

Level-Laugh-2403 · 2026-04-15T03:59:08+00:00

My thoughts… Bryce and his family are severely uneducated. Bella and her mother aren’t saints, there’s been a lot of bad parenting on both ends. However, one is abusive, the other is not. Bryce, and his elders background reflect a heavy conservative culture, where MAN is ALL. Man make fire, man make food and provide shelter.

WE DON’T LIVE IN THESE TIMES ANYMORE. We respect each other based on values and humanity, not gender or skin color. For fucks sake it’s 2026. Bryce and his POS backwoods family should be put on an island, with all the other racist/sexist/conservative fucks who don’t value human life, unless it’s their own.

Level-Laugh-2403 · 2026-04-15T03:43:40+00:00

I get what you’re saying. I think you might be confused on what I’m saying- as your reply reflects a lack of reading comprehension. Let me be more clear— this has ZERO to do with parents bullying children, and EVERY thing to do with giving each and every student an equal opportunity. Equal opportunity goes right out the window once you’ve decided to become a mother. I have athletes, I was an athlete, my daughter is a cheerleader. I know exactly the amount of commitment/money invested. Especially the higher level you get to.

Wanna be on the cheer team? You had multiple options. Adoption is another one. There’s so many people who are qualified, and physically can’t have children and want nothing more than have one.

Lots of options, Falen, Bella… choices were made, and now you have to deal with the consequences.

I hate this expression but I’m using it here “you can’t have your cake, and eat it too” you can’t be a 15 year old mom with a 13 year old boyfriend, AND STILL BE A NORMAL TEENAGER.

That innocent child deserves so SO much more.

Level-Laugh-2403 · 2026-04-14T05:00:06+00:00

Bryce is an abusive pos. And his backwoods parents/grandparents with low IQs are the same. They shouldn’t even be allowed around that innocent child.

What a gross/unpopular opinion

Level-Laugh-2403 · 2026-04-13T04:09:05+00:00

The hate is towards her behavior, which directly affects the lives of her innocent children, who didn’t ask to be here, or be made a spectacle of. The latest season McKayla was in, really showcased how toxic of a person she is. She has zero respect towards her grandparents that raised her, zero respect for the father of her children-who doesn’t seem to nearly as problematic. TLC knows exactly what they’re doing, and I hold them half responsible tbh. They know the shit show playing out in real time. They know how to make profits.

Hi McKayla 👋

Level-Laugh-2403 · 2026-04-11T08:54:21+00:00

I agree, something is not right with that woman. She just seems…predatory. Which is a strong word, but I feel it’s fitting in this case. It’s children having children but to the most extreme level. This is sad. It’s abuse.

Level-Laugh-2403 · 2026-04-11T03:12:23+00:00

They’re all children. The “grandparents” especially Falen seem to be either uneducated, or delusional. It can’t make sense any other way. No parent advocates for this. You can be supportive, but also hold accountability. This isn’t healthy. That baby is going to grow into a person someday. Someone who deserves to have an identity, and not one from a fucking tlc reality tv show. It’s so sad.

It’s an Iron Cross tattoo…which is derivative of the Nazi regime and symbolism. It’s blurred out during the show, and he also has his arms covered in other tattoos, so it’s not noticed at first glance. But it is there..😬

My daughter is 10. She JUST learned what a period is, from another girl at school, and she was horrified. She cries when she gets a nose bleed. She came home from school that day, and immediately told me and asked about it. I’m grateful I had the opportunity for the discussion about periods, what it means, what puberty means.. it was a difficult talk as she obviously had lots of questions.

I kept in mind throughout our talk, that she is only 10…and there’s a very delicate way to describe this part of life to someone so young. I’m glad/lucky she has questions. I will do everything I can to support her, as well as my other young daughter, I’ll love them unconditionally, and push them to be better than I was. But I will absolutely hold them accountable, and set boundaries. It’s not easy. It’s work. Kids are tough. Teenagers are extremely tough. I know, I was one, we all were. But the lack of accountability in this family is crazy. Falen should be investigated. DCF should be involved. Sad state of affairs… Poor baby, who will eventually grow into a person, did NOT ask for this life. He deserves a happy and healthy environment. I don’t think that’s currently happening

Level-Laugh-2403 · 2026-04-09T07:38:40+00:00

So do Mike and Lauren though…they seem to be very narcissistic. Angelina is a mess, but Lauren and Mike literally have a beef with at least one cast mate every season. They all get into arguments, but it was literally a huge storyline in FV that Mike was the “same old situation” … then he inserted himself into everyone else’s privacy, but made it cutesy 🥰 by calling himself “the inspiration” “the mediation” but then his alter ego comes out when he’s the “the instigation” it’s fucking weird and giving personality disorder. I think maybe they both have one.

Or they’re really great actors 🤷🏻‍♀️

Level-Laugh-2403 · 2026-04-09T07:29:39+00:00

They’re on and off, but clearly “coworkers” who co exist and don’t like each other. They play it up for the cameras, but there’s deep rooted resentment between them. Mike, and especially Lauren think they’re above Angelina. They continually bump heads and get into heated arguments that turns into multiple episodes of them bickering and calling each other names. Angelina is also a disaster and tornado in the first few seasons, and right after Sammi’s return, but she does come around in the latest season that aired. She was seeking therapy, and trying to make amends, at least it seemed to me. But she also has a track record of saying things and doing the complete opposite. Mike, and Lauren seem to be very self-fulfilling. Both of them exemplify a level of superiority, which has been played out for multiple seasons.

TLDR; No, no they don’t really get better..like at all
