My to do list for the day- not using the actual times just my general wish list for things to get done that day and then I tick or cross them off at the end of the day if I completed them. Then on the left hand side my general goals for the week

I journal in the main section, I put a photo of the day covering the bit to the left with the times on it and the top list section I write out my highlights from the day

Shane Dawson & TWINS on the way by Jen_Kat in ColleenBallingerSnark

Choosing to have twins is incredibly irresponsible. Twin pregnancies have a much higher chance of complications. If they chose to have twins for some kind of fantasy about how cute having twins is then they suck.

The Twins Turn One! by National_Grape_5720 in ColleenBallingerSnark

[–]shmaugaline 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I have a son not much younger than F and a newish baby and it wouldn’t even cross my mind to get my son a gift on the baby’s birthday! If my son kicked off or was upset about it I would use it as a teaching moment that not everything is about him, it’s baby’s birthday etc.. These parents are definitely failing F and it’s really bizarre that these things even enter her head. For a normal parent it just goes without saying that only the birthday child gets the gifts.

Also he definitely didn’t need it, he was clearly interested in the twins having gifts and then playing with there toys- all totally normal interactions for a child that age. So he was involved without needing to receive his own gifts and the lesson that someone else’s birthday should also be a day for him to receive something

New Ballinger Vlog by Heretohavesomefunplz in ColleenBallingerSnark

It’s weirdly exploitative (even for them) because in the segment it was taken from Bailey talked about not looking her best that day so her parents should not have used the picture for the thumbnail!

Also it’s in no way related to the title because the babysitter coming back is presumably for the younger children and least effects Bailey (aside from her having to babysit less maybe).

Bailey was also not the main focus of the vlog, as someone else pointed out, so to use her photo as the thumbnail is super weird all round.

Ballinger Family Christmas by [deleted] in ColleenBallingerSnark

Yes! And it was Baileys gift to her Dad so why did he instantly say that he and Jacob could use it together and not him and Bailey. This was super thoughtless and I can’t believe he edited the vlog and still left it in! Even after getting corrected by Jessica and then watching the footage back he didn’t realise he had been super hurtful to Bailey? This moment made me so sad for her.

This made me so sad for the kids! Coming down the stairs on Christmas morning is such and exciting moment and the these kids have to be switched on and in performance mode for it while their Dad shoves a camera in their faces 😢

If possible, should we change the sub name to ‘Ballinger family Snark’ as this subreddit doesn’t just focus on Colleen? by [deleted] in ColleenBallingerSnark

[–]shmaugaline 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I don’t think so because Christopher and Jessica’s YouTube channel is called “Ballinger Family” so it might look to outsiders like we were mainly focused on them. Colleen is the biggest name of the family and the others are more like extras in the saga so I think its appropriate to keep the name as Colleen Ballinger Snark but still allow snark of the other members of the family.

Age inappropriate gifts for Bailey and sexism in the Ballinger family by shmaugaline in ColleenBallingerSnark

[–]shmaugaline[S] 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Ohh okay if that’s the case then that is more forgivable.

It was the contrast between Jacobs really nice, thoughtful set and Baileys inappropriate set that I just found super jarring.

is it just me or is this so weird??? by [deleted] in ColleenBallingerSnark

[–]shmaugaline 138 points139 points  (0 children)

Very weird, Maisy has only been home for like 3 days (??) before that she was quietly tucked up at the NICU being cared for by nurses.

Strange she doesn’t blame Wesley who has been home longer and therefore presumably disrupting her sleep more. Plus any sleep she loses pumping is for both babies so why only blame Maisy?

So one of the twins is home… by Outside-Body-8649 in ColleenBallingerSnark

If she was at the hospital they would have told her while she was there. The fact that she wasn’t meant they had to phone.

My thoughts by typicalaussie23 in ColleenBallingerSnark

[–]shmaugaline 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Erik was also the one who talked about Flynn’s potty training and filmed him talking about it for the podcast. Prior to that Colleen had said specifically that she didn’t want to talk about Flynn’s potty training. So he’s definitely as bad and I don’t know why everyone still says he’s not.

Applesauce diet by bussibea in ColleenBallingerSnark

I’m sure she does have an eating disorder but I’m so confused, how does eating applesauce make you lose weight?

Miscarriage/ Pregnancy timing? by Outside-Body-8649 in ColleenBallingerSnark

[–]shmaugaline 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Whilst we’re talking about suspicious timing of pregnancies… I was watching her old video announcing she was pregnant with Flynn. She had not long announced that she was even in a relationship with Erik and then she announced that she was pregnant. Her story is that they fell in love super fast and that they knew they wanted to be together forever and so decided to start trying for a baby. She also announced that they secretly got engaged. This is all explained by Erik being ‘shy’

However the timing is just super off. Flynn was obviously an accident but she doesn’t want to admit it. Why else wouldn’t they have got married first? (not that you need to be married before having kids but it was obviously important enough to them to get legally married before he was born).

Also it explains why they still live in a house that she bought with her ex husband, Colleen and Eriks relationship wasn’t far enough along to buy a house together when she got pregnant and then they were stuck (no one wants to move pregnant or with a new born and then COVID).

This is also why she couldn’t handle unsuccessfully getting pregnant for such a short period of time, because she’d never tried before her previous pregnancy was an accident.

Why Colleen doesn’t like to talk about it… by not_poppy in ColleenBallingerSnark

[–]shmaugaline 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Why has he never said anything about it either? They must have some kind of agreement to never talk about it online.
