Because the ADHD popped out of nowhere right? And she always seemed to be able to focus and get to work super easily.
I think the skin picking is real, but it's probably a consequence of anxiety.

In my opinion her diet has a big part to play in her MH and whether she's getting the correct nutrients for her body and mind. The skin picking disorder stopped once she became pregnant and in her own words she eats more when pregnant because "food is her joy", therefore is probably getting more vitamins into her body. Plus during pregnancy she had IV treatments regularly so again getting more vitamins into her system. Based on what we've seen she still had panic attacks/anxiety but that could've been because she felt "trapped" in her pregnant body, and nothing to do with the anxiety before being pregnant which I believe is down to malnutrition.
Had anyone else noticed how with Flynn and before the twins were born she constantly said how she thinks gender stereotypes for kids are so stupid, such as toys and colours like blue being for boys and pink being for girls. Yet as soon as the twins were born and she went shopping for their clothes they’ve both been in such stereotypical boyish/girlie clothing. We all knew her consciousness about gender neutrality was performative but she’s really exposed it with her clothing choices for the twins. Like it’s okay to want to dress your little girl up in bows and tutus and your little boy up in blue clothing, but there’s no need to make a big deal of it in the past to the extent that she gave Flynn a bunch of traditionally girls toys to see if he’d like them. and also during one of the gender reveals (I think it was Flynn’s) didn’t she choose different colours for the genders? I think for the girl it was purple because she didn’t like how specific colours were associated with genders.
omg it’s so annoying :/
What she says and what she actually does are two different things
She is constantly trying to look woke and ahead of the curve simply to remain free of criticism
While I do think you should not force gender stereotypes onto children (or people in general), here's my stance, there isn't anything wrong with dressing your one year old daughter up as a princess, however if that one year old is now three and has expressed to you that she doesn't want the Barbie in the toy shop, she wants the remote control car and you tell her "no, that is for boys, Barbie's are for girls" then that is reinforcing gender stereotypes, it would be the same if it was reversed with a son as well.
I am a very stereotypical girl, my favourite colour is pink, I love fashion, growing up I loved Barbie, baby dolls and Disney Princesses and I love to bake, sew and do crafts, however, a long time during my childhood, I had a love for pirates, I used to dress up as one and carry a (plastic) sword with me around the house. My parent didn't care what I played with or what I liked (as long as it was appropriate), they cared that I was happy and I had fun, which is much more important than what section in the toy shop or clothing store a child wants to buy from, if they are happy and comfortable, why should there be a problem?
Colleen doesn't realise that you can like aspects of gender stereotypes and that is fine, but what isn't fine is pushing that onto your child who is their own person, as a baby they don't really have a say so I don't see why not, also it is hard to escape gender specific clothing and toys, but when that child is old enough to make decisions like what they are playing with or what they wear, then follow their lead. You can have input but don't make it about gender as that isn't necessary and negatively affects a child.
To me, Colleen seems like the type of person who only says something (like gender stereotypes are stupid) because she sees other people say it and thinks she'll earn some sort of points but the thing is, she doesn't even know what they are talking about or why they say it. Most of the time it is trans people and trans allies saying that as gender stereotypes hurt trans children/people growing up, which is understandable but at the same time, they aren't saying a child or a person cannot like stereotypical things, they are saying not to force it and to listen to your child, there is a difference.
Colleen seems so fake and uneducated on the subjects she talks about.
She desperately doesn't want to get cancelled so she's putting her fingers in as many woke pies as possible
I feel like he just… didn’t check in in the relationship until the twins got born and things all of a sudden got real. It always amazes me when watching the podcast how little they know about each other… They were more like roommates (with the perk for Erik I guess acccess to Colleen’s money) and maybe friends but certainly not spouses or partners.
And now that they have no choice.. He’ll need to figure out how to fit in (the “daddy” things) or we’ll see yet another weird breakup/divorce..
Can you imagine how insufferable Colleen would be if she ended up a single mom?
Totally. Both in her vlogs and in real life- her poor family.
Yes I'm always surprised how little they know about each other, mainly when a slightly drunk Erik brings up cringe stories from his past. All these stories paint a picture that Erik is quite immature in fact which would make sense
They seem like total strangers. It's such a weird relationship on the outside looking in.
Did anyone see Chris' vlog on the same day? Jessica was trying so hard to make a big deal out of Erik making that horrible looking bread ranch thing. She was asking if he'd made the ranch himself as she knew he hadn't baked the bread, and he was like "I got it out of the packet". She still made a huge deal like he was some little kid who'd done a hard task all by themselves for the first time. I was cackling!
That was hilarious
Can we have a timestamp for this?
She claims she always wanted to be a single mom since she was a little girl.
I'd love to hear that if I was her husband lmao. Guess she doesn't have that much faith in Erik sticking around
I thought Rachel choose gf over her family so I take it all back after watching this
Can someone do a recap? I don't feel like watching the whole vlog
