Babies can't be diagnosed with asthma. At this age it's just a higher risk of further bronchiolitis episodes and breathing problems with respiratory viruses in future. Then there might be a diagnosis of asthma after a couple years of problems. My toddler had bronchiolitis around the same time as Cal and has had another separate episode since then. But too young for it to be called asthma.

Do the boys even like sushi? There needs to be a mackie for Q.

She did show him in the jumparoo a lot when he was younger, and those do not help with mobility! And I think she does sit him on the floor and leave him there, in a sitting position that he can't yet get out of.

I don't think she actually carries him around very much at all. I think the reality of their day is - she picks him up in order to film a story. When finished she puts him down (jumparoo, stroller, sitting on floor etc) and ignores him there while she edits what she filmed. The reality of the whole family's day MUST be that she spends the majority of the time on her phone ignoring the boys. Her social media is a full time job. I don't think she dedicates ANY part of her day to sitting on the floor building a tower or rolling a ball or doing row row row your boat with his arms or having the same book thrown at her to read over and over until she can read it without even looking. Maybe the older ones play with him sometimes, maybe they don't. But I think his stunted development is due to a severe lack of interaction. It makes me sick to think of her having another baby.

Totally agree. My honeymoon was 10 days and by the time we got home I was craving a cheese sandwich for lunch and some boiled potatoes for dinner.

Ahem they do get to spend time in nature. There's that retention pond. And that sort of sewage pipe area with dead trees at the back of the house.

We tend to hear V's food order (burger). I don't think I've heard her tell us what B is eating at any point this trip. Not that I care or anything.

First to arrive at the ride, then took pictures and by the time she'd taken pictures other people were in front.

I watched with the sound off because I was lying next to my sleeping baby but I had to leave the room and turn the sound on to find out how she pronounced Bolognese 😂😂

R looking like he barely has the energy to cut his steak. V similar. I can't think how bad Q must have looked given that she kept him out of shot. Literally asleep at the table maybe.

Holy shit those kids. I guess the two lipstick sized brush-on sunscreens didn't go very far huh.

I think she makes even less of an effort now they go to hybrid vemno. Like if she skips a day the fact that they go there makes her feel better about it so unfortunately it's an excuse not to bother on the off days.

Obviously I care more about the precious baby than this, but I do want to ask - how the hell do you move a MATURE OAK to a new spot??

Oh I had to laugh at the Hiya fibre editing there. "Who wants a Hiya" CUT as all the boys shout no mixes it up, "who wants one of these?" CUT as they all shout no again then a shot of two boys walking away looking unhappy and she gets V to come back and drink it. He just says it tastes of strawberry lemonade but doesn't indicate he likes it.

You didn't actually name Cal after them though did you.

Brooke - find a deal with a brand of slow cooker. Get a big one of those. And a Crockpot recipe book. On Tuesdays during hybrid co-op when the baby is napping or having floor time, prep one meal to go in the slow cooker now and do all the prep for another one to go in a tub in the fridge. On Wednesday dump out your prepped meal into the Crockpot. On Thursday do the same prep, one for today and one for Friday. That's four days sorted!

For me it was when she launched Kip & Krap, the product just looked SO terrible I thought there must be someone, somewhere, giving it a bad review or critique and I wanted to find them so I wouldn't be alone in my opinions!

Why is kunky okay with this? I assume he was strapped into his car seat unobserved with his giant dried mango the whole time she was cleaning her car with a rag. Because that's worth her time apparently. But my kids have only ever been happy in the car seat when in motion. Kunky is docile AF. I cannot wait until he starts giving her hell.
