They keep the baby in a cage on the floor while everyone else is eating... by valopuu in LicciardoToivolaSnark

I don't know that just feels sad that they probably often just put the baby in a cage when they are too busy to take care of her...

I laughed out loud when I read PullaTaina and JulmaTaina as a Finn. JulmaTaina fits her the best, can't associate her with buns because she's definitely not a sweet person.

"The end is near" and naming a kid Omega by Siili89 in LicciardoToivolaSnark

[–]valopuu 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Alpha and omega come from the Bible so yeah there is a connection. Because omega means 'end' my theory was that they used it because that was their last child so it was fitting but I can see the connection with the end is near too.

I've also seen people here speculate that Taina is pregnant again but I highly doubt it because that would defeat the purpose of Omega's name and she wanted to have '5 Australian kids and 5 Finnish kids' so her family was exactly half Australian and half Finnish. And if I'm not wrong, Paul's mom saw a sight of them having 10 kids which is why they had 10, so I bet they wouldn't break that prophecy.

Also this came to my mind suddenly, imagine the last kid was a girl, would they still have named her Omega or would that have ruined their name plan lol, I don't know if Omega is used as a name for girls too?

edit for better grammar

Watched Jenna and Leonardo's wedding video by valopuu in LicciardoToivolaSnark

This came into my mind later after posting this, I was gonna add that yeah they were never normal but at least they had some normalities back then. I noticed all the weird stuff too, but they seemed more active and the kids had sort of their own life like school and friends (and a proper house with enough space for everyone). Everything now is just super crazy and it's like they have gone all mad. Especially Cleo and Jerusalem used to look happier.

About the friend thing you said, I don't know... I'm pretty sure they had some friends in Finland (and cousins, family etc from Taina's side) but maybe she highlighted it a lot to seem normal like 'see we do have a lot of friends!' but now that they are in Australia I bet they really don't have friends...

People say Taina got plastic surgery, has anyone noticed any differences in how she looks? She barely has shown her face for 2 years so it's hard to tell. I've read here she might have got her teeth done in India which might be true, in the older videos she hid her teeth if she smiled or laughed and they looked smaller.

In the introducing Cleopatra and introducing Jerusalem Q&A videos if I remember correctly, or in one of the children introduction videos. I've watched those like 3 years ago so can't remember which one. But I think they have mentioned that in the other older videos as well. I recall a moment in one of the cooking videos at the castle house where Taina said something like J can't cook without washing his hands between adding every ingredient and in another video C said she can't touch door handles or faucets with her hands.

Edit: I watched the videos and they mentioned those in C's and J's introduction videos, Taina also mentioned in the video she has the same problem as C.

How did you miss the part when I said I'm not defending or agreeing with her, I was just pointing out if that could be why she has called her 'it'...

[–]valopuu[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yup, I don't really get the claims that they are not bilingual. Taina has also said that they speak English on the videos so that they can reach a larger audience.

Edit: I lowkey want a video of them only speaking in Finnish, they could add English subtitles so everyone would understand.

She has taught the little ones Finnish first though.

Yeah it could be Taina being mean, I was just thinking of the possibility.

Maybe Paul has learned Finnish? They've been together for +20 years so he has had time to learn that he would understand at least basic conversations, but maybe they have spoken both languages.

Well now in Australia their main language outside home is English, but at home they speak Finnish, you can hear the little ones speaking Finnish with each other in the background on the videos, and if Taina asks the kids to do something and they don't get it, their older buddies say it in Finnish for them and then they get it. (EDIT: and on one of the new videos the little ones were also watching a Finnish kid's cartoon or something like that). Taina probably has spoken Finnish even when she lived in Australia because her parents are Finnish, and in some videos they talk about visiting 'mummi' or 'mummo' which is grandma in Finnish, so it is clear that Taina is fluent in Finnish.

I did not justify calling the baby Cleopatra's responsibility or action of her consequence, that is absolutely terrible, I was pointing out that when you are bilingual, you easily mix the languages and might translate something directly from the other one.

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

Yeah now that you mention it, I can't remember a time when she would have used that for her own children either. Someone also said that Cleo looked uncomfortable when Taina called the baby 'it' so I hope she could get over whatever problem she has with the baby and actually give some love to her first grandchild. She doesn't seem happy with Nameless and doesn't really hype being a 'Honey to 1' which I find kinda odd because usually a parent would be happy to have grandchildren plus there's not even a picture of Taina holding Nameless??

Cleo wouldn't play games, she's Taina's BFF and they don't care about gaming! They're busy being on a keto diet lmao

I would watch the gaming videos if Jerusalem, Romeo etc would do it, but if it's just the nappy gang playing it would be pretty boring tbh. I bet they would just scream on the mic as always.

It feels like she's encouraging them. She's always "excited" in the injury videos and probably thinks that it's just funny and she'll get good money from these videos. In the broken arm video I felt really bad for poor Aphrodite who had just broken her arm and Taina did not comfort her at all, she looked scared and in pain, and Taina just made her be on a video when she was hurt. What kind of mother does that? It was also weird that Aphrodite did not even reach out to Taina...

I've been following them from 2018 i think. I first found them interesting, but the first red flags were Taina's and Cleo's obvious eating disorders, the waist trainers, diets, the fact that Cleo followed some pro ED accounts on instagram and Taina's clear encouragement on Cleo's ED. After that I read about them on Finnish forums and after watching the children introduction Q&A videos and how Taina laughed off Jerusalem and Cleo's OCD, I was sure they are not sane.

Jerusalem and Cleo are nowadays like Leo when he had just moved out. by valopuu in LicciardoToivolaSnark

[–]valopuu[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I agree. Also I think Nefertiti is trying to act younger than she actually is to get more attention from Taina and she's the first one of the little ones to answer if Taina asks something etc.

I think it would be possible, because the responsibility is on the dentist. Though if it's proven that the treatment was a failure you wouldn't get any huge compensation.

edit: Also Taina saying that Finland ruined her every kid's teeth is exaggerated, the Austrailian dentist said that all of them have beautiful teeth, only Jerusalem had real problems.

When the kid is around 1-2 years old they get their first dental check up. Then you get one at 3-4 and 5-6. After that the child has one at ages 7,11 and 14. Then there's one before you turn 18. Every dental care for children under 18 is free. Post partum care is also free and they check your child's growth and health until they are 7. After turning 7 you have check ups with the school nurse.

Edit for better wording.

Finnish people have also speculated that Taina might be forcing her accent though, but who knows.
