He did an excellent job expressing himself and what life as a Mormon is really like. I have a deep seated fascination with Mormonism. What happens within the church is mind blowing. A few things to mention are they have to wear special underwear, they keep things secret until you are in a ceremony, they baptise the dead (children from age 12. Not forgetting the garments that no one tells kids about that you have to get married in. Its all very hush hush. Families do not share what happens in the temple with children, they only find out when they are old enough to go in and take the interview like Skylar had to. His analogy of the Truman Show was perfect!

I agree, I think it's hard because you'll be perceived as not being supportive but it's valid. I support trans people, gender nuetral people etc..but if my partner transitioned to female, it wouldn't be the same.
Religion has everything to do with it. The LBGTQ community is totally ostracized by Mormon beliefs. He left the church, she hasn't. He left because he chose to standby his sister Shay. He most probably was told he was leaving church by his Elders and Bishops. That doesn't mean he cant still have a faith but Mormons want nothing on their vlogs to tarnish their reputation. I still think Skylar is gay n he just doesnt know it yet. If your gay and Mormon you will have to suppress every feeling you have. Jamie hasnt been honest at all neither of them are. Theres alot more too it. They are both just trying to pretend everything is good and they are totally happy.
He always seems so good with the kids and they seem to have fun... With Jamie it's picnics in the garden while immaculately dressed.. Or a 'date' with one of them. Is it just me who finds it weird she says she has a babysitter for the rest? Why can't the rest go to their dads?

It’s a podcast, sounds interesting and I will give it a listen.
If people can afford not to have a “real job” why are their finances anyone’s business but their own? It is not like he is asking for donations to his go fund me!

So I watched the latest vlog and saw aforementioned tatt but then wondered how Mormon the two older boys are or if they are checking out too? I mean dad does make life seem more fun.

It would be interesting to know what really went on. Good on Skylar to some degree I guess if he has found himself/ is being more honest about who he is, but he is still a scummy parent for selling his kids out for income. Can you imagine how screwed up those kids are going to be when they are older and they realise how much of their lives are online and that they were used for years as the family's only source of income because of their 'oddity' if being quints?

Yeah I agree I am pretty sure I remember them saying they bought that house. The one prior to that was a rental.
I thought it’s bit distasteful to put that vlog upon of introducing the girlfriend.and also he then leaves the quints in the van with the new girlfriend by themselves while he goes in the shop! He just met the woman I don’t think she should be left alone with them yet?!it’s also a lot of change for those little ones all at once two house moves a divorce and now dad has a new girlfriend poor little darlings

I think that people who come out when they are older often become very selfish and self centred. Yes he should absolutely be whoever he is, but he shouldn't expect his wife to have to pretend that everything is fantastic and that life carries on as normal. It doesn't. I actually hope that she has left him as is rebuilding hher life. Dom't shoot me lol.

Costa Rica! Yes that’s where he is.
He seems to have gone off for a whole Eat Pray Love journey and left Jamie to it with the first day of school and all.

Skylar in his most recent vid said the older boys no longer go to church.
Yes!! Everything is shared and it's awful!

I wonder if the kids don’t go now? Or only on her weekends?
I figured he had left the church. Interesting she said in her newest vlog he has the kids on the weekend and she goes to church and rests.

I was actually so shocked to hear him say they were separated! Didn't see it coming, although Jamie often seems a bit distant/forced in the vlogs. I wonder if it is a trial or it is a done deal.
