Let’s face it. I know most of us are trying to not bash Abbie, but a simple truth is she has become a brat.
She can understand to some degree what behaviors will produce what actions.
if not getting her way,she has meltdowns. If not wanting to do a task,she starts stimming louder than normal.
She doesn’t have to be emotionally 14 1/2 to understand this. Toddlers grasp it very well by the age of 2-3.
As for the preacher wanna be,he just doesn’t want to take charge and deal w it. It’s all so cute to film,get people oohing and sending gifts and monies. The moment that all started happening Moobman found his new pulpit.
What if it were Isiah jumping in the pool over and over fully clothed? Sure,Asa would get on him and claim”He knows better”. Well guess what? Abbie can be taught to know better as well. She can be taught by correcting the behavior from the get go.
Instead,they have now reinforced that it’s all okay to do this. Same as a good deal of her other behaviors.
His life is to short,let her have fun will come back big time and bite him in the ass. He thinks he is all so knowing,but he hasn’t begun to realize what a 20,21,22,yr old can do when they get angered. They have a strength at times that is almost superhuman when they get overwhelmed,stressed,etc.
Brandy was a key to helping Abbie learn to be in better control,understand No without aggression,etc. Sadly,her hours/time has been cut down. And even when she made known these things,the know it all basically balked at what she was doing.
He doesn’t like anyone telling him what to do,not any time,any where. If this all disappears soon,he will be a nobody again. Abbie was his ticket to being his own boss,setting all his own rules,etc. and he took full advantage of the situation and of her.
