Colleen Ballinger #2

[BustySinclair]

Can someone do a recap? I don't feel like watching the whole vlog

She was meant to go to Thanksgiving with her family but she had a cold so everyone decided it was safer if she didn’t go.

(does anyone else think they’re being over cautious here?? I would absolutely not ban a member of my family if they had a cold)

It’s because of the twins. If Rachel passed the cold onto Colleen or Erik it could affect the twins and other babies on the NICU who are immune compromised.
She wasn’t banned from Thanksgiving, she decided it wasn’t worth the risk to be the babies.

Ah, didn’t think of that. Fair point!

Colleen banned her family entering her home for Halloween because Flynn had a cold, but then later that day went for an unnecessary trip trick or treating on the door step of strangers' houses. I think all this is Colleen calling the shots, it's nonsensical. Poor Rachel. If Colleen and Erik were really that concerned about illness then they wouldn't be going to restaurants, book shops, Christmas markets, ice cream shops... Rachel could've worn a mask for thanksgiving as it is the same protection as Colleen and Co going to the restaurant alongside strangers and their germs.

It might sound overly cautious but a common cold could actually be RSV, a common virus that are basically a cold for us adults but can be DEADLY for babies due to their weak immune system.

If Rachel passed it onto Teddy or to Colleen who brought it to the NICU the results could’ve devastating

That’s my PSA: don’t visit a household with a baby if you have even a sniffle because their tiny immune systems aren’t strong enough to fight it off.

I agree. Colleen and Erik are going to dine out more, go to stores in the evening but if it were me (my baby is due any day now) I wouldn’t risk the exposure!

That's my point really, take every precaution possible and that includes forgoing unnecessary trips out of the house, but if they're not willing to do that then why not let her sister come to see their family on thanksgiving. I'm sure if Colleen insisted she came then Rachel would have gone.

i think it's not the real reason otherwise they would have mentionned it in the vlogs...

They well I mean Colleen let's Kory go away on the weekends, God knows where he is and who he interacts with. Come Monday he is there mixing with the family bringing potential viruses. On the video, trying every Starbucks holiday drinks she was drinking from a cup then Kory drank out of it then Colleen had it back to drink from it again. Sharing cups/saliva is not OK and they try to edit many parts to hide it...all for the sake of making a video. Colleen could then go to the NICU ward and kiss her babies head without wearing a mask. Absolutely idiotic!

Kory should not be living with Colleen to begin with. And she cares about the babies as long as they don't interfere with her lifestyle.

Do you think Colleen is the favorite? Her family is willing to put up with alot from Colleen. Also anyone else annoyed with Colleen during Flynn's haircut clip. She admitted neither of them knew what they were doing and yet she still felt like she need to correct Erik's work.

Colleen's their meal ticket

Throughout all the videos from the birth of the twins, Colleen didn't include any footage of her video calling her sister to tell her they'd just been born. She filmed herself calling Jessica and her neice and nephews. I find that odd because they used to seem so close but now they don't seem to have a close relationship at all. It seems like Rachel is being punished for not having put Colleen first and deciding to instead to spend more time with her girlfriend rather than quaratining at Colleen's house

Jess and the fam copying colleens singing for xmas vlogs was cringey and just showed how much they rely on her to boost views.

I think you're onto something there. Those with eating disorders and other mental health queries typically like to control the narrative to imply it isn't there and deceive others into believing they are eating, engaging etc. I have found it strange her conversations regarding other issues ( and by no means am I diminishing anyone's hardship's and struggles with issues like those) however, her skin picking thing really seemed to distract from the comments surrounding her physical health and then miraculously she was diagnosed with ADHD which isn't consistent with her shown behaviours (not her exaggerated ones) which makes me believe she goes to any lengths to distract from the truth and cling to the victim narrative. Myself and one of my siblings have ADHD and autism and my parent is a doctor of SEN specifying in safeguarding and neuro conditions. They stated not once has colleen indicated she has that , more than likely manipulating her behaviours and symptoms to what the psychologist wants to hear and it vastly covered up other unanswered concerns. It takes months and months if not years to gain diagnosis' of neuro diverse conditions yet she mentioned it on the vlog channel and was suddenly diagnosed very quickly. She is discrediting and diminishing others diagnosis'.

I have been quietly critical of this diagnosis

 

[Memmy]

Did anybody hear the podcast where they were both slagging off the security guard at the hospital for doing his job thoroughly and his serious manner plus making fun of the way he handles face masks (in order to minimise transmission). Really? Then the insincerity as she back tracks with "oh but we really appreciate that he's keeping our the hospital safe". Get a grip, don't be so nasty. Talk privately with your partner if you must moan, but not publicly for thousands to hear. She did something similar a few weeks ago criticising in a vlog the way one of the NICU nurses handles the babies more casually than the other nurses. She is not grateful or sympathetic for these hard workers. She's critical and petty and worse makes it more selfish by being so afraid of getting cancelled so she makes her snide comments followed by the same old "I think they're incredible, amazing, I'm so grateful...blah blab". An absolutely shocking attitude to have

I still think neither of them are aware of what babies in a NICU entail.

Jessica, Chris and their kids definitely suck up to Colleen and mimic her for a slice of the fame. I find them all so cringe.

Yeah at this point I can’t watch her.. Beyond cringy with her “babies are great and in the best place bla bla bla”. No they are not. They are on life support with feeding tubes and out of decency Coleen stop shoving their tiny bodies in the camera for God sakes… Like exploiting Flynn for views and $$$ since day 1 wasn’t enough

I also find it extremely cringey her saying how her “baby broke his water”. It’s not how it works. She might think it’s funny, it’s just spreading misinformation.

But he's SO STRONG he just kicked and broke his water and kicked his cord out.

The one question I have is why Colleen waited to go to the hospital. She knew the twins were breech and she waited like 45+ minutes? Poor Maisy was purple when she came out, they should have bolted to the hospital the moment her water broke. That is my only criticism with the twins. I cannot imagine how she’d feel if one of them didn’t make it because she wanted to video herself doing things like her hair and makeup. Erik should have been adamant about getting to the hospital ASAP. Thank God they are ok. Colleen alluded in the last podcast that progress is slow but looks like they’ll be fine.
