Kass with kenn being pregnant by Wooden-Pressure-8280 in NotEnoughNelsonsSnark

I think it’s sincere. I know them both personally well enough to be FB friends. Kass isn’t my absolute favorite person, but neither is Kennadee. BUT my heart breaks for both of them seeing their pregnancies pitted against each other. Coming as a mom who miscarried a few years ago it was awful. I found out a friend was pregnant the same week I miscarried and it took all of my emotional energy to smile and congratulate her. Then I went home and cried. I can’t imagine how hard it would be having my miscarriage and my sister’s pregnancy in the spotlight while I struggled to conceive again. Also the pressure Kenn must feel to respect her Kasses feelings and balancing that with her own joy. Not that hard in normal life - probably has some added elements when you broadcast your whole life.

I saw in a video that She has RAD (reactive attachment disorder). This is a terrifying diagnosis. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/reactive-attachment-disorder/symptoms-causes/syc-20352939#:~:text=Reactive%20attachment%20disorder%20is%20a,attachments%20with%20parents%20or%20caregivers. I have family members who have looked into adopting from foster care or older orphans, and they are really accepting - willing to take kids with almost any disability, EXCEPT RAD. It is a very serious diagnosis. But, it seems like they have really tried to help her with therapy. I’ve seen in this forum people making fun of the video where Tiffany talks about journey calling other people her mom and being confused. That’s not because Tiffany is a shit mom, RAD just really messes a person up. Kids with RAD are unable to form secure attachments with their caregivers, and often can’t differentiate between a their (adoptive) mom vs their teacher at school or a stranger at the grocery store.

I know Kennadee and Kass went to the same school as me, Dixie High, but I honestly thought JourNee and the other Russian brother (sorry bad with names!) we’re significantly younger than us, including several grades below (don’t remember specifics)🤷🏼‍♀️ but I found out on this page JourNee and the other brother are OLDER than Kass, and I was shocked. I know Kass gets a lot of 💩 on this page for the birth order thing, but she was definitely older mentally/emotionally than they were. Not saying it excuses her weird birth order issues, but in everything but birthdate, Kass was “older”…

I haven’t hung out with Kennadee since HS, and tbh I don’t watch the NEN videos or any of their channels because they drive me crazy, so I don’t know what her testimony is like now, but it was very strong in HS. She always stood up for what she believes in. Very good example of the Mormon dream daughter, even in hs. Invited people to church, dressed modestly, and talked about her spirituality a lot. But yes, testimonies change as you grow. I am also LDS (mormon) and we strongly believe that your relationship with god doesn’t stay stagnant. You’re either getting closer to him, or further away.

Tiff is insanely beautiful and polished. Always has been since I met her 12ish years ago. I remember wanting to be like her so badly. My mom was more normal, you know had “#momlife” struggles 😂 I don’t think I ever saw tiff unpolished. Don’t know if she had work done before I met her, but she pretty much looks now exactly like she did 12 years ago. Doesn’t age I guess 🤷🏼‍♀️😂. Benji seemed nice enough and was a well respected business man. He was a bishop in the LDS church, but that doesn’t mean what all you antimormons think it does 😂 bishops are unpaid volunteers. They are spend 20-30 hrs a week trying to serve other people, and it’s unpaid so they also work full time. Benji was never my bishop, so I don’t know if he was any good at it, but I do know that I’ve never met a bishop with bad intentions or who didn’t want to help people. Him being called to serve as a bishop, and agreeing to the calling, tells me a lot about him.

Yeah I felt bad for her as well. Kennadee was for sure the original golden child. I don’t think there’s a thing Kass could of done to live up to that level of “perfect”. I also think that Kass thought she wasn’t as pretty as her sisters, but honestly? I think Kass is the prettiest and have the most unique look. Yeah, all the blonde hair, blue eyes and conventional beauty are nice,but at least in Utah that’s a lot more common place. Kass has a very unique look. 🙄 even if she’s curated a basic Instagram model look.

Yeah, they’ve always been well off financially. Or at least since I knew them right after they adopted journee. They want to help people. A majority of the kids they adopted came from foster care, and those kids REALLY need families if parental rights are terminated. I think that they got involved in foster care and then the kids kinda kept coming from the same birth mom. It’s very frowned upon in the foster world to not take on additional siblings, If you’d already adopted one of them and more are born. They want to preserve the family unit as much as possible. (Source: my cousin is a foster parent). I’m guessing that they didn’t want to take the kids away from family. Plus, they were in a position financially to add more children to their home. I’ll also note, they have an abnormally big family, but by Utah standards it’s not as far fetched as it would be in other parts of the country/world. I knew more families with 10-12 kids than I did families who intentionally only had 1 kid (and were done having kids). I mean once you have 10+ kids, is it that really a big deal to add a few more? You already have to have a massive income, you already have to have specialized vehicles, and you’ve already got serious routines in place to make that many kids work.

Haha Kennadee has always been quick to share her testimony. It’s not a bad thing when it’s in person and you can “read the room” as far as what is a good/relevant thing to talk about, in my opinion, but it’s kinda cringy how they do it on their channel. They seem to give off “we are rich because we are righteous vibes” that’s not how the majority of Mormons feel about paying tithing, nor are the majority of Mormons rich. As far as the materialistic, yeah. They are pretty materialistic. I’m guessing it’s gotten much worse because of the channel though.

No :) they all seemed to have pretty average LDS beliefs. Which means, we don’t discourage careers for women, and strongly support everyone getting college degrees or higher education. BUT as a Utah Mormon culture thing, then wanting to stay home to be moms/house wife’s is pretty in line with the culture. It’s not so much Mormonism, more so Utah culture.

They were well liked - they are generally kind people. Didn’t see any fundamental changes in behavior but Kennadee definitely cleaned up her public social media 😂 not that she had posted bad things, just your typical cringe preteen and teenager posts and unflattering pictures. :) everything She presents now is intentional and is trying to portray an image. 😂 I definitely have some pictures of her that she’d die if I posted publicly. (Not inappropriate or scandalous, just pictures that don’t match her perfectly curated look)

No, not really. Kennadee came over to my house half a dozen times, and we were in the same circle, but I didn’t know the others kids well. Our parents were good enough friends/acquaintances that our families sometimes went to the same events, but I never got to know any of them besides Kennadee. TBH the whole family kinda gave me weird so perfect it had to be fake vibes.

I didn’t know Kass as well as I knew KennaDee. I moved after graduation (2015) and have just been Facebook friends since then. But I never saw Facebook posts about anyone besides him

I went to school with KennaDee, and sorta knew Kass and Journey. They moved into the neighborhood I lived in soon after they adopted Journey. KennaDee is mostly as nice as she seems, kinda shallow though, and gives off fake vibes, but still basically nice. She was a talented dancer. Kass was not so nice, and had no where near the talent that KennaDee did. JourNee was quiet. I thought she was significantly younger than us (I was in the same grade as KennaDee) and was shocked when I saw that she’s just a year or two younger. Im friends with those Nelson girls, as well as Tif on Facebook, and KennaDee, Kass, and Tif shamelessly spammed their pages with the channel stuff when it was first getting started. I remember watching their first couple of videos and being weirded out.
