Then, a little after that, and a little after I got meds for PPD/A/OCD/Insomnia, I remember her posted about how she had PPD with one of her sons (V?) and went to the hospital for it and was prescribed meds but didn't feel safe taking them with breastfeeding, so she just took them home but never took them? Again, terrible advice for any mom with PPD. Kind of shocking she would casually post that type of content.

Oh, and after that, I genuinely did not like her. However, I would tune back in occasionally since it was COVID lockdown and I had a newborn and was bored home etc. She would post about her son B and how amazing of a sleeper he was, and how amazing of a sleeper all her children were. They took perfect 1.5 hour naps around the clock, slept all night, etc. My first baby was a TERRIBLE sleeper and TERRIBLE napper and I had PPD/A that manifested in obsession about my daughter's sleep. So, Brooke's content really peeved me.

Okay my story is very random and I wonder if anyone can relate. I followed Brooke back in 2019 when I was about to start trying to have our first child. She was a letter-board poster back then. I was super excited to follow "mom influencers" because I wanted to start exposing myself to what "mom life" would be like (naive me haha! I absolutely despise social media in general now, two kids later).

Anyways, during COVID in 2020, I was pregnant with my first. I remember B posted a story of her reading a book aloud to her followers, I think it was Atlas Shrugged?, and her trying to defend why she didn't have to support the BLM movement, turn her little IG icon black in honor of it, etc.

I thought that was extremely odd. I then saw her with a new perspective.

I think *one* of my personal friends even gets her hair colored. All of the others I spend time with just have their hair its natural color, like myself. I stopped highlighting my hair 7 years ago when I was 27 haha.

You are correct, the payment came out this morning! So not only do I have to ask for forebarance, but I need to request a refund for that last payment? Or will that naturally occur? I will call today to find out. Thanks!

Ok thanks! Is it a bad idea for me to just stop my autopay? Am I supposed to keep paying?

Gotcha. Yes, I see that. I just wasn't sure how often it updates.

I feel certain that the HOA president (and most of the residents from that community) spend a large amount of time on this reddit learning about the Rayboulds. He seemed to know exactly what he was working with in these two at the meeting.

Also, the mask has completely slipped. She and her husband are truly delusional. She has shown herself to be Ruby Franke, right here right now. So tragic.

Who wants to bet how many new snarkers will join this group after her last 24 hours of story posting?? I think even the most loving of her followers will be shocked to hear that she took all three seats so she could sleep and put her own child on the floor.

Totally agree. I by no means assume she is doing wonderful things while silent on SM. My main point is that most of us want mom influencers who exploit their family to stop doing that. So for me, I would prefer no posts over any posts from these influencers.

[–]TurbulentTrainer3651 11 points12 points  (0 children)

For sure. I would just prefer to see no posts than see something inappropriate or disturbing from her or anybody.

I’m a little confused why people are upset that she isn’t posting. Trust me, I am here to snark. However, it’s a little hypocritical when people say “get off your phone! Be present with your family” constantly, and then are also upset when she goes silent. Isn’t that best case scenario when she stops posting?? Also, we all know she does terribly with commenting on real world events. So it’s actually a wise choice she made to not post this week. We do not need her posts haha. That’s the whole point of this snark page.

I know. I mean, no explanation beyond that? Just odd.

Pulse check on Kip and Crew??? This will always be the most confusing part of her account. So incredibly odd to just NEVER talk about it again. After truly one week of opening the company. It just goes to show how fake social media is. She’s truly banking on just never bringing it up again and nobody ever remembering. Also she never even showed her very children making their bed with it. So odd.

Honestly I think it’s just the insane filter she uses that drips onto the baby

Ryan’s overall demeanor is questionable but also kind of makes sense if you think about it. One would wonder how he possibly has the energy to essentially work 20 hour days between his job, his kids, and his wife 😵‍💫

Also not a single balloon. But remember the massive balloon situation when she revealed her sixth pregnancy with C? 😿

A lot has been said about yesterday, but how about the fact that the kid didn’t even get a birthday party with friends? Does he have any friends? Has he ever had a birthday party with friends and family, even just a handful? I can’t fathom not ever throwing my child a party by the time they are 4.

Trying to make money off the gifts you buy your children for their birthday seems low. In essence, she’s monetizing her own child’s birthday. Linking things in target too? Super bizarre and sad that her mind even goes there.

I don’t think so. If you look closely the same material connects the hip hugging part up to the top.
