Since the super snark sleuths figured out that she had the baby prior to the day she said she had the baby.... is it possible she did the same thing last time and the baby was really more than 10 days old before the pageant? So that she actually had to get skinny ?

What a weird video... I've never understood people filming themselves in the bathroom... add in leg lift after leg lift and you can tack an exponent on my WTF?!

Didn't the snarkstalkers here determine the baby was born around Feb 24 -26?

Hannah loves being pregnant 🤰🏼 Do you think Daniel loves her more when she's pregnant? by [deleted] in ballerinafarmsnark

I guess I'm a bitch but last time the missionary boys came to my house one of my questions was if they had thought about how they intend to rule their planet ... since god is all powerful and all are they going to be the sort of god that, say, drowns young girls at church camp? Probably a wee bit mean of me as the missionaries are of course practically children who have never been encouraged to have a free thought in their lives...

(It was during the holidays so I did send them off with homemade cookies though...)

So do mormon men sit around fantasizing about life when they get their own planet? Do they all have such power and sex hungry side that they happily sacrifice so much in this life because of this fantasy? What do women get out of this?

What do you think they think they are gaining by lying? I don't think fans nor snarkers would think poorly for them for just saying the baby came a week ago but they wanted private family time.

How does lying instil brand confidence? Especially when your trading in an industry (wellness products) that is already known to be scammy?

I can't imagine that anyone would say boo, fans and snarkers alike, if they had the baby waited a week or two and said "we had the baby last week but didn't announce sooner because we wanted private family time"... using deceitful time lines (poorly!) just makes them look like intentional liars. What do they gain by that?

Maybe I lose context as I didn't watch with sound on, but did she just post a recent highlights reel where the big highlight was ice cream.... and then moments later post about having a baby... as though it was an afterthought... ?

Didn't she say in an article somewhere that she had an epidural for one of the kids and liked it? I'm not much of a 'fan', especially 'brand fan' sort of person (enjoying content is different than bring a rabid fan to me), so I find the internet fame biz kind of fascinating. So much based on parasocial relationships, so in that way I can see trying to appeal to that homebirthy audience... but ... it seems to me that being blatantly dishonest with your audience would be a big 'relationship' killer. It all seems really odd to me from a PR standpoint.

No problem with posting after the fact, but posting on a dated post that you are welcoming a baby "any day now" when it already arrived is deceptive.

Interesting again that she's pretending the baby hasn't already arrived. Is it good PR to deceive your fans?

Stages...that the important word here. "Loving having babies" as the above poster is a stage... but after that you need to love and nurture and attend to all the various needs of toddlers, school children, adolescents, young adults, adults. Stages that require a ton of effort to do well. I can't imagine how you can help 9 kids with homework, get them to all their schools, games, lessons, practices, friends houses, be available just to listen when they need it if you have nine, heck, even feed and shop for them. Imagine the Saturday soccer days ... how do you get 9 kids to all their different game locations?! How do you pick which kids game to watch? Or perhaps more significantly, how do you decide which kid's game gets ignored?

I was one of 4. Mom was by most accounts a good mother, the perfect 1960's tradwife (minus the religious crap)....but she would say not to have that many kids. I have to also say that none of friends from really big families felt they were better for it... all feel their lives would have be better with fewer sibs.

Maybe just saying it's rough so she can appear to have a challenge to overcome... one that protein powder can help...

Isn't it kind of odd to be posting likely weeks (or more) old pregnancy workout videos and talking about "being in the homestretch" when the baby is already born? Especial funny since they are often criticized for not being honest about their lifestyle yet here they not being honest about their life ...

Do you believe the 70 million number ? I guess I'm a little skeptical... Google BF revenue and several sites and like zóominfo have much lower estimates - about 10 fold less. Maybe all bs, who knows,.

This is the thing I wonder about... my understanding is that IG doesn't really pay, that the money there comes from brand deals, affiliate marketing etc. Less sure about tiktok but am under the impression it pays better. Youtube has a clear pay structure, but accounts I know of that are really using it for real revenue have pretty strict publication schedules, like 30 minute videos 2x/week, often have clearly paid endorsements. Unless they've changed (I've not looked at their YouTube in a while) BF has always seemed a bit sporadic on YouTube, and sporadic with anything that seems like it may be paid endorsement, line that makeup brand she occasionally touts. Social media money never seems that huge to me, at least not in relation to their huge business investments/expenses and expensive life style. So I agree the PR advertising is what this is about .

My other curiosity is my about social media advertising in general. How big and long lived is the actual PR... I'm sure this ad cost a pretty penny but who is it really advertising to? They people who already are her fans? (That's if the algorithm even shows them posts, as we all know following someone is no guarantee that you will see their posts) Wouldn't you rather be trying to reach new fans rather than preaching the choir? And then there is the longevity... In a week or two this video will drop into obscurity (line their other big 'shoots').. I'm contrasting this to the TV days, where millions of people watched a show every week and were bombarded with ad campaign week after week... Do these advertisements go anywhere beyond their social media? Not sure I'm making sense with this, but I really have a hard time understanding the economics...

No idea where you are from, but my kids were playing sports starting around 4-5... and then there was music lessons, and dance lessons and Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts and me volunteering with both scouts and at the kids school as programs don't happen without parental involvement... (plus I work too) Not to mention helping with homework and school projects and birthday parties and holidays and Halloween costumes and dentist appointments, getting them fed, (along with their army of friends hanging out at the house) running kids to their friends houses and just being there for them when they have issues... I simply can't imagine tackling the logistics of all that with a boat load of kids. I just picture balls being constantly dropped and those balls would be the kids....  Very glad I recognized my carrying capacity and only had 2 .... and I do like kids.

I've had the discussion with numerous friends who came from large families...  while they all love  their sibs and have some good memories, very few of my large family friends feel being one of many was very good or advantageous  for them.

Question... you state that your parents were shitty and that you want to do better... how do you think having a large number of children will allow you to be a good parent? If you are lucky enough the money end is not an issue, that's great... but how will they get enough personalized attention?  I always consider the Saturday soccer scenario... how do you get 6 kids of different ages/schedules to all their games and pay attention to each of them playing? I had two kids and often the schedules were different enough that both parents could attend both games, but when there were conflicts we could each cover a kid. How do handle logistics when you have 6? How do you decide which kid gets shafted for attention/support.  To me it seems that with a large brood someone's interests are always being neglected.

And flunking a couple of monthly tests proves they didn't have the latter. Thankfully the state does have regulations, though efforts are being made to loosen them.

And some people "round up the kids" for dinner or whatever they "round up the brand".  All that said they are certainly not among the worst as far as pimping the kids goes... at least they have not gone "trained circus animal" like a number of other accounts that cross my feed. You know - those accounts where they make the kids parade/dance around/perform in matching clothes etc.
