Yeah I noticed the jigsaw thing as well, but then remember Bailey got a MacBook one year and the boys never really got anything expensive so I wonder if that’s the reason why the boys got their turn. It’s a bit of a shame though all of the boys getting theirs on the same day and Bailey sitting with a jigsaw.

So Rachel and Matt broke up. It was obvious but she made it official on Colleens TikTok
Not suprised, he was never into her family and her family seem to be everything to her! He was also sitting alone and not at gatherings etc.
The puzzle might not of been much compared to the boys big present but I've found the same one online for $170+ so probs around similar price of the other things
If I opened a Puzzle as my main present, I would of cried even now as a grown adult. $170 for a puzzle.... A PUZZLE!
Wow really? I don't think I'd ever pay that much for a jigsaw even if I had loads of money.
I’m not familiar with the American schooling system but I remember then asking Bailey on a vlog about what electives (?) she wanted to take, I can’t remember what she said (possibly drama and french) but is that a high school thing? The way she answered made me think she’s already chosen and they’ve signed her up for classes. I think Bailey will be homeschooled the whole time but I can see Jacob maybe asking to go to school. I’d like to know what would happen if one of their children asked them to go to school.
I agree, I’m only worried that she’d be teased by other children because she’s not as interesting in teenage things as some others her age. Teenagers can be cruel and I think Bailey’s a sweet kid and I’d hate to see her knocked down like that. But I agree that it could be the making of her!
I notice that her and Jacob (and sometimes Parker) are all learning the same thing, is one of them really behind and doing easy things or are some of them really ahead for their age? I can’t see how they’re all getting an education appropriate for their age.
Bailey is very into reading, puzzles, and learning which is cool for her! It’s like a double edged sword I think when it comes to her possibly going to physical school one day. She’s not really into what kids her age are like ( at 13 I had my own social media, went to the mall and shopped at stores like forever 21, and watched Pretty Little Liars very week). And while it seems her parents have been introducing her to more mature tv shows and movies, I still feel like she doesn’t interact much with someone who is her average peer (not in the same type of schooling situation or church ect.) j just wonder what someone with her schooling/family dynamic would be like potentially in college without those formative years. I don’t have any experience or knowledge when it comes to homeschool so it will be interesting to see, because their family dynamic and online presence makes it a lot different than any other family that homeschools.
I think her issue is that, she has no interaction with people her age. When I was her age I used to go to top shop to buy things with my pocket money and McDonalds on Saturdays with my friends, then odd trips to the cinema, beach, I went to a theme park with my friends. I think they are stunting her personal growth into a lady because she all she has is them and younger brothers who buy her toys for children because they also want to play with the toys, I was getting classic rated 15 movies, a lady shaver and things like that for Christmas at her age.
I remember I used to watch 18 rated horror movies when I was 11 with my parents or sister, my parents stopped treating me like a baby when I was around 11 and you know, became a lady if you get me! They’d rather me be honest and open than watch things rather than do things behind their backs which is probably what will happen!
Right now they are just morphing her into a mini Jessica!
I was also hanging out with friends at that age, going ice skating, going for lunch, the cinema, etc.
But watching 18 rated movies at 11? I would never in a month of sundays let my kids do that. Some kids start their periods at 9, doesn’t mean they should be watching 18 rated horror movies. I was never allowed to watch that kind of stuff at that age, I also started at 11, and never did behind my parents back.
At 4 or 5 I watched a horror movie at my grandmothers and honestly have been scared of the things in it ever since. If you Google the physiological effects of kids watching horror movies you’ll see it can make them have anxiety, sleep issues, etc.
I’ve always enjoyed horror movies though because I just find them funny and unbelievable plus my sister is 5 years older so I just wanted to do everything she did - for the longest time I thought she used hair gel in her hair in Something About Mary. I have to say I was living in a quite chav-y area at the age of 10-13 due to my dads job so was exposed to things much earlier through my friends and groups we would hang around.
I did a similar thing to you when I was quite young, my parents fell asleep with me in the living room (I’ve always been a bad sleeper) and Chucky came on the TV I apparently watched most of it before the woke up and went on to tell everyone about this movie and my mum was panic telling everyone it was Chucky from the Rugrats haha!
Why are they suddenly distancing when they have been together multiple times over the past few months, they were all In a cabin together 4 weeks ago and Colleen had her parents, Rachel and Trent around and now in the Ballinger Vlog they’re all distancing from each other. Are they doing it for the vlogs?
I think it’s because Bailey had been in and out of hospital m. Think Colleen says it in her vlog
I have enjoyed DCPs videos on Fathering Autism and he has made me think about things more deeply. I watch the Ballinger family occasionally, not often as I find the mother really annoying. I have always thought that at least the kids seem to really like being on camera but then I thought of course they do they've had a camera on them since birth so they don't know any different. I guess this is where the issue of informed consent comes in. I imagine they love it because they believe everyone that watches are fans and all love them as their parents aren't going to want them to know about any negativity towards them or the sickos. I've noticed Bailey doesn't seem to feature quite as much as her brothers and I wonder if she's starting to be more aware of the ramifications of having your life out for all to see and has asked to feature less.
I think that’s the reason the oldest three (especially Parker) seem to overreact at certain things, I think they’re unknowingly doing it for the camera.
I noticed on a video the other day that Jessica started the vlog and they were all sat round the table eating breakfast and she said she was reading them a story and as she panned the camera round you very quickly saw Bailey giving Jessica a bit of a look as if to say ‘why are you filming this, I don’t want to be on camera’. Also, I feel like Bailey was more reluctant to do advent this year, I’m sure she wants to do it and enjoy it but not when she feels like she has to guess every time and share it and react for the camera.
What happened to the podcast? And the last vlog they uploaded was filmed 28 December what do they actually do all day?
