What makes it worse is that they don't hesitate to spend big bucks on themselves, for 'all the things' they want. But when it comes to Abbie, it's clearance, bargain, double discounted things. Or just not buying her certain things at all. Asshat acts like it's his accomplishment that they're making the money that they are. He knows damn well he wouldn't have anything if Abbie were not in the videos. He is making money exploiting his disabled daughter. There's no getting around that. Altho, I think they are not making as much now as they did even a year and a half ago.
I think intellectually disabled does accurately describe her. There are varying levels of ID. Kind of like how autism has a spectrum, some individuals being only mildly affected and others more severely. The same is true for intellectual disability. It can be mild, moderate, severe, and profound. The mild descriptions obviously don't fit Abbie (except for maybe something like benefiting from having an IEP) but many of the severe ones do. Very basic communication skills, inability to care for their own needs independently, the need of constant help and supervision, unable to live alone, aggression, tendency towards self injury, lack of impulse control, the inability to understand the consequences of actions... and so on.
As far as Abbie being unpleasant, well, I think when you have parents like A&P who avoid consistency like the plague, who always choose the easiest and most convenient route, who ignore and dismiss a lot of shit in favor of focusing on themselves, and Asshat who thinks that since typical discipline won't work on Abbie that he very rarely disciplines her at all... it isn't really a surprise that she has unpleasant behaviors.
Definitely agree. I think they're already facing financial debt right now. Asshat is losing sleep and losing his mind trying to think of ways to get more clicks and views and to stop the view count & subscriber count from continuing to drop. Princess P is choosing to ignore things and distract herself with shopping and drinking.
Asshat will be in for a very rude awakening when he ends up having to go get a job working for someone else. I think P wouldn't necessarily mind getting a job outside the house, if she really had to, because then she would have an excuse to be away from Abbie. As you said, things like youtube and slimelife are very risky and not likely to last that long.
