Ugh, I’m sorry to hear that. Of course I don’t know your situation, but I hate you can’t get your meds.
If you’re interested, I bet the hospital will accept payments, all the way broken thru 6 mo. I owe thousands and pay just $5 a month, and it keeps them off my back and keep it from going to collections .
Also, the pharmacy may have a discount card they can use for you.
Anyways, not trying to get up in your business. I used to work in the pharmacy and my job was customer calls to remind them to get their meds and it always broke my heart when people couldn’t afford it… hope you feel better!!

[

O

OMG I needed this laugh!!!
Thanks! Yea, we exhausted efforts with medications today and discount cards. I have a really good relationship with our pharmacy (as my children have secondary insurance that picked up their remainders of what our private doesn’t pay) but they were able to get it to $95. We tried to call the ED doctor to see if he could re-write for a cheaper script, but he wasn’t in. So, of course, my only recourse now is going to my primary in 2 weeks (due to him being booked) and seeing if he will prescribe me something different. The ED wanted to do expensive scans to check for a tumor (history of cancer, migraines have been at bay for over 5 years and now just resurfaced so quickly it brought me straight into ED) but I denied that part of care. I have seen those bills and our new insurance is even worse than before..
I live by the motto “what doesn’t kill me, makes me stronger” and I’m not dead yet..

I tell you what, this blue shirt (along with all these off shoulder shirts) needs to accidentally get a lipstick put into the wash and dried with it exploded. Just like the last road trip.. It would help if the yellow dress and blue dress made it into the wash at the same time…

The only thing that bugged me about Isaiah's vlog is his joke about being broke. Whenever he makes lil "jokes" like that.
As if his Mommy doesn't give him a loaded debit card for groceries, buy all of his clothes, buy him whatever electronics he likes etc.
Probably pays his rent, too. Sorry -- ABBIE pays for all of that. How exactly is he 'broke'? I mean, no, he can't go buy a house in Italy or something but he really isn't hurting for money.
I'd have loved for my parents to be paying for literally everything including 'toys' that cost 100s if not 1000s at his age.

Oh I forgot, pays for his vehicle, vehicle insurance, gas money. Phone, phone bill. lol

Paging Mr Morrow. What a sweetie. Thanks for the heads upAnd boy how he loves his dear doggie. All the trip arranged around his doggies comfort. Make me think about Those poor poor dogs bunged in the back of the Maass wagon. Where are they in this trip? Where? Those wretched stoopid idiots really are the most disgusting fab blobs of stupidness. I wouldn't be them for all the tea in China.

You’re welcome ❤ I’ve been following PMM for a few years now and got so excited when, on a Disney trip with hubby and 2 of our kids, I saw him walking through Epcot filming. I actually ran behind him, keeping my distance, and waited until he put the camera down to approach him. He was so kind and charming! We chatted for a few minutes before I let him go 😁 Now he is someone you’re happy to support online! He’s just a friendly, super honest and enthusiastic guy from Scranton, PA who loves Disney and has amassed quite a following in the process. I wish him continued success ❤

Oh gosh, her shirts are getting worse by the day. Then, you look at what they are dressing Abbie in and that is even worse.
I thought for a second that they already ran out of toilet paper and was questioning how?? Then looked at it closer and it was paper towels.. 😂
Isaiah, you need a new look dude. The resemblance between you and Crystal is almost getting scary…

I think he's autistic honestly.
I agree with both yours and other interpretation - Awful role model of friendship in Pig and angry elf plus his suspected autism and his social anxiety and some oversized ego from the vlog all contributed .

I suspect as shown in the valentine vlog some years ago it is was really hard for jnr to have friends over growing up as he was expected to care for abbie. That video he was expected to clear up her puke and deal with her grabbing his freinds and sitting on their knees even though they had a carer in aswell. None of that is enjoyable for him and must have made it really hard and really arkward to socialise, plus i'm sure he was stuck at home a lot of his free time too to be abbies carer whilst they drink and go out.

If he is autistic i really cannot imagine him nor his family accepting i or doing anything that may benefit him like talking to a therapist ect. He is the golden child. I know yrs ago he did a therapy app promo and they used his anxiety for it. Apparently I was really open with Assface and let him use it. I wonder if that was truly the case

I’m so sorry for your broken arm.. I totally get it though! I was just in the hospital the other night for severe migraines and the hospital was already asking for payment before I left $500 visit, and that didn’t cover labs done. I am not looking forward to that bill and the medicine he prescribed was $100… This is all with insurance. I told Hubby that we are scrounging for the next few months and paying what we can and I will do without medicine. We have to keep the lights on and pay the rent, as we can’t be homeless with 4 kids…

Back to the Maass’, Isaiah is having to do an internship this summer. It is 6 weeks long. He is about 3-4 weeks in. But, once it is complete, there is plans for him to meet them on the road. He just cannot take a break during the internship and he had to get it completed before going back to ASU. Of course, apparently in Isaiah fashion, he didn’t complete the correct forms and got behind even 2-3 weeks, because he had to get new forms and signatures done. He choose to come home, to do his internship in Jacksonville, instead of using the recommendations of the school, so then the paperwork is a jumbled mess for him and he then tries to blame his professors and school 🤦🏼‍♀️… So, this put him father behind on being able to join them quickly but A&P did remind him that they would see him in a few short weeks…

We are totally with you all on having to scrimp and save to pay bills. We got a bill from the hospital this week from hubby's heart attack, and while it was lower than I thought, it's still a nice chunk of change that we just don't have readily available. Our electric bill was over $300 for this month as well, so now we are trying to use the AC a lot less. We lowered our internet package, cut some of the channels on Hulu, discontinued Disney plus, and cut a few other areas we can to save money. Then along come the Maassives living with all their excess and getting further and further from the simple autism family they started out as.

Poor girl, those shorts are 5 sizes to big. They want to keep those tshirts tucked in so bad, why don’t they put her in a body suit for n adult with snaps? Then she could wear her pants at a normal level. They have ones that are not tight, hell they even have a mens one 😂

go ahead Moobie talk about how you just discovered body suits and how well they are working for her, we’re not going to judge 🫣😂

I don't really understand why they claim these trips are all for Abbie to show here the world. WTF do they even do?!? Do they bother looking for activities geared toward autism? Take Abbie to see her favorite band play. Abbie makes them enough money to be able to afford tickets and leave in 1/2 hour is she is done. So many communities have amazing events and activities within the community. I think Abbie only likes to Go Go Go because she is expecting food on her outing at some point.
I'm curious about people's thoughts on why Abbie is so focused on eating and that's it? Is it due to autism? I've always been one to think it's the way they "trained" her. This family revolves around food for their entertainment, happiness, and love. I've always wondered if Abbie's only love in life would've been food if she had;t been born into a gluttonous family like the Massives. I said it about Isaiah. It is all about portion sizes. He was eating so freaking, much living in that house. Look at Summer. Anyone that stays for more than a month ends up LARGE!

I would imagine it doesn't help Abbie to have food addicts for parents....and that they used food for the easy way to get Abbie to respond positively... for the VLOG.

I wonder though if her lack of interest or curiosity in other things ...other then food is due to her profound ID?.

The other kids with autism.. like Kaedale, the Wee girl.. and the others... I know are much higher functioning then Abbie and they seem to have curiosity/interests in the outside world..outside of food/candy.

I think Abbie is focussed on eating because that's all they do. They hang out in the kitchen and when they're not in the kitchen they're out getting food. It's really gross.

That being said, there can be a link to overeating and autism with some individuals. My daughter eats very little. She has severe sensory issues regarding food. She's underweight even with supplements.

My son on the other hand could eat all day. We have to regulate his food consumption. He thinks he's always hungry. He loves bananas, cucumber, peppers, and carrots and has access to those often, but we greatly limit his less healthy food such as Doritos (another favourite). He has an oral sensory seeking habit (he has various types of chews) and loves to stuff his mouth so full it scares me. We're working really hard on teaching him how to understand and recognize when his body is full.

I'm not pretending that my family doesn't eat out or get fast food, but it's not daily or weekly. We usually get pizza once a month as a treat. We also have vegetables with it.

I feel that if Abbie's food options were healthier and her potions were smaller she'd shed some weight. She eats Pig's food, she'll clearly eat anything. Giver her some greens, some fresh fruit, yogurt, anything but tit food 24/7

I think that Abbie is so interested in food because, as you said, she is trained that way and she is also bored. If Abbie had toys and activities geared toward her interests and benefit, she wouldn't look to food for enjoyment and comfort.

I think it is mainly related to the fact that Abbie loves the oral sensory aspect of having things in her mouth. Food is just more acceptable than paint chips or dirt, and in the absence of anything geared to this input (like a chewy), she constantly asks for food, and they always rewarded her with food. Another part of it could be her medication that makes her always hungry. My son gained like 70lbs on his medications (abilify is one of them) before we tapered down with using cannabis. He has since lost that weight. I have a friend who has to really be mindful of what her daughter eats on her meds because if she gains too much, the doc will take her off it, even though it is working for her. But this same friend is also more cognizant of her own health and really is doing well with both her daughter and her own weight. The exact opposite of A&P.

Pretty obvious what they have done to her since she was young....used food as a bribe to make her do what they want, to stop her from honking, to make her happy, to shut her up asking for food, etc. The bribes have had to increase as she got older. It doesn't help that she has all her fave food places on her I pad. It doesn't help that her parents eat like pigs and that they load Abbies plate so full the food falls off. And they keep loading it with more when she asks.She gets what she wants when she wants it. Just like momma Pig.

I wonder about that too. Even a toddler will have curiosity or reactions to things or situations. Abbie has a very flat affect, almost no emotion. I have to assume like everyone else says here she is more IDD than anything. I worked with someone who adopted a child with fetal alcohol syndrome. They were verbal but had that same look Abbie has of just no emotion. She really reminds me of this. Wonder if P was a drinker back then.

My mom has dementia and she also can have a flat affect... I can get her to smile and interact but it takes effort..she doesn't react to small things..if that makes sense. Her natural expression is a flat affect...

All this traveling is most definitely for the Hambeasts.
Abbie gets put in the truck and taken along. Like the dogs.
Exactly like the dogs.
She has zero awareness of where she is even if they tell her 1000 times.
Her profound ID (NOT autism) prevents her from having a clue about pretty much anything in this world. Except for food.
Of course, its not her fault but because of her profound ID and the Hambeasts doing a crappy job with her care, it's just how it is.
I think her food obsession comes from everyone - from the Hambeasts to therapists and teachers - using food as a reward with ABA therapy.
It's also possible that Abbie experienced some food deprivation at a very early age.
Abbie is known to steal food off of people's plates. She protects her own plate. This type of behavior is instinctual. It's basic human survival stuff.
Just my thoughts.
