Lauren Brazee

[WutJen]

The recent vlogs are making me want to drop her as a subscription.

I used to enjoy her content, positivity, and even her bright house colors. Now she just complains all the time.

She literally just had the wrong appointment date for her first U/S, and she went off she showed up. I mean, if I don't get a confirmation of an appointment I call them. Not her...the girl is a wreck over this to the point where her parents bought her flowers! Wtf?! Things happen...why pander to that?

 

[Scwid]

This girl has issues! She has admitted to being obsessive and I'm thinking she needs more than physical help to bring her weight under control. She took dozens (her words) of pregnancy tests that all said she is not pregnant, and decided to see her Dr so that she could prove to herself that she is pregnant. She is NOT. Now she is trying to convince herself to chill - not gonna happen. She's a trainwreck and really needs therapy and/or meds.

 

[Whatsupwiththat]

Yep. They want to “live their best life” as she puts it without putting in the work. Just shows they have really bad work ethics and no common sense. I retired last year after putting in 25 Yrs with govt agency and was told by all my co workers who were all around 30 how “lucky” I was to be retiring. I told them luck had nothing to do with it. Worked hard for many many years to get to this point. Have to pay your dues, something they don’t get. They are way too young to think they can just glide thru life without putting in work.

 

[Hotographer512]

She complains way too much for me.
Seems very dissatisfied with her life.
Fake smiles are obvious.
She and John need real jobs and Ella needs structured daycare where she is not allowed to eat 11+ times per day.
That grandmother needs to stop with giving Ella sugary snacks.
Add those to her already eating 11 times a day!!!
Diabetes and Morbid Obesity for all!!
IMO.

Aside from the exploitation and obesity, I actually liked Lauren and John. They are a breath of fresh air when compared to Fathering Autism. However, since they started trying to get pregnant, I lost respect for them. To go against doctors recommendation and get pregnant anyways while morbidly obese is selfish and irresponsible. Let alone the fact that they are failing their overweight, if not obese daughter by shoveling fatty foods down her throat and keeping her attached to the iPad.

I absolutely cannot stand the "it's 2020, get over it" mindset. Yes, it is 2020 and more people are obese than ever.. but that doesn't mean your pregnancy is any safer. You're still high risk for everything. If you love your kids, make your family's health a priority. I know she's trying real hard to justify her actions because she's insecure, but it's just grossing me out. She needs to be completely transparent about the dangers of obesity and pregnancy. Even if she goes on to have a healthy pregnancy and delivery, she does not need to encourage others to do the same thing. It's not like this was an accident or birth control fail. This was meticulously planned out. All while trying to get pregnant behind the scenes, she was attempting to make her audience believe she was getting healthier in order to get pregnant and also debating on whether or not she actually wanted another child. Clearly she was just trying to make amends with the fact that it wasn't happening right away.

 

[Whatsupwiththat]

Her most recent vlog has her explaining that she is seeking mental health help. Not putting her down for this by any means but between her and her husbands mental health issues not a good combo. This is only my opinion so trying not to offend anyone, but I think they have too much idle time to sit around and have this kind of stuff manifest. I know when I was raising my kids, I worked a full time job out of the house as did my husband as well as both kids in activities. There wasn’t time to dwell on things. I just think it isn’t a healthy environment to have two parents that are together 24/7 feeding off each other’s mental state. I know last year with the pandemic a lot of people were home together nonstop. Again, people may not agree with me but it’s like drug addicts, when in recovery they are told to not sit around with not much to do because they maybe triggered. I have a relative who has lived this and says idle time is very dangerous for them. I wish her the best but she and her husband need to refocus and have a purpose in life. She even stated she may re-evaluate doing Youtube. They need to pull themselves out of their funk especially with two kids to raise.

 

[Hotographer512]

Priscilla couldn't convince her to sell make up I guess.

I wondered about that.
Very surprising because she literally copies everything she does!!
Maybe even Lauren knows how MLMs work and has more sense?

 

[SCCOct66]

Addressing our "why didn't she stay on anxiety meds more than a day"

Now she is posting shaming things about the cry it out method. Sorry, Lauren. I had f-ing twins and someone had to cry it out at some point. Doesn’t mean I enjoyed it. Some days I cried with them. I have great sleepers now!! Doesn’t mean they will be bad in school or unlawful as your quotes said. Ridiculous.

Do what you want, just take the word "exhausted" out of your vocabulary. You're no more tired than anyone else. Either get used to it or do something about it

 

[Hotographer512]

Lauren's comment says a lot about how delusional she is.
My goodness! They are ALL delusional af.
has done the complete opposite of 'working her ass off the past year'..
There's video evidence to prove it.

 

[Hotographer512]

@Interspaced - All very good points.
She's the twin to , from Fathering Autism in every way.
I am not a fan of hers. At all.
Lauren is such a bitch to John and i used to kinda feel sorry for him but he quit his job and I lost respect for him. Sympathy too.
If he is ok not being the man of the house and having a 400lb momster push him around, that's his business. .
I just can't get on the John bandwagon. Or support 2 lazy, uninspiring people who think it's ok to not work and live off of others.

 

[Silverlady]

I am watching with alarm the baby getting so very fat. John is disappearing down a rabbit hole of very serious depression, very very sad. Lauren has completely lost her mojo and is just plain out of ideas. They are both tired of having to do what they have to do to make a few cents. I would say to the pair of them, give it up and go and live your best life, cos this ain’t it. Away from the shabby video camera. However, I like them both, I am just genuinely concerned for the whole family.

 

[Pennylane8150]

I have to disagree with that...I was thinking her mom is the only one who can put a thought together intelligently. She seems to be intelligent, has common sense, and is focused. If Lauren would shut up and not talk over her all the time we would appreciate what she is trying to say.

I agree... I don’t have a problem with her mum

 

[Hotographer512]

Why does she always post pictures of her house? It's nothing special. She always has to show us when she cleaned. Also I have no idea still as to why John would chose to stay home. You know they must've had a pretty lengthy discussion about what was gonna happen come January 1st. Obviously the job he had before he quit wasnt the hardest considering it doesnt look like he moved much. Now he is Lauren's bitch! For a channel that is totally copying fathering autism. Lauren's video titles and the way she edits the thumbnails are over board. It's like Priscilla gave her a lesson on how to clickbait for views

100%.
Or Assa gave her tips.
I wonder if they would ever sneak off together?
Lauren is rather rude to John, saying snarky things at every opportunity and she seems almost giddy around Assa.
I don't understand the deal about their house either.
I do think she dreams of the day when she can show off her own historic home with a cement pond, just like her heroes.
I do not think her channel will ever get large enough for that. She makes a very minimal amount now with so few subscribers.
IMO

 

[Poopidydoo]

So John's on a weight loss journey. I wish him the best... because they're gonna have to start with Ella very soon.

 

[Lala7]

I'm sure they are very nice people but to be honest...two depressed overweight unemployed people whining on YouTube does not constitute "a job".

Not to be rude but I don't understand how anyone would be attracted to or respect a male figure who is not a provider in any way shape or form. (Perhaps this is behind the crux of the "issues"/weird cryptic couple venting videos). They both appear to have extensive psychological issues that I hope they seek treatment for. Clearly her parents subsidize and bankroll their entire existence...it's like trying to glorify the trailer park lifestyle on YouTube.

 

[green]

I (usually) like John's channel and I enjoy following his weight loss updates. Lauren gets annoying when she pops in his videos too often, not gonna lie. I do not like that he felt he needed to lay down the law in a recent video and insist that everyone online who offers any ounce of criticism is a "bully". That's just immature thinking. If someone else (ie Priscilla) is blatantly lying about their success with weight loss/weight loss surgery, what is stopping people from pointing out the lies? What could possibly be wrong with asking for honesty?

Narcissts can't handle criticism. Just like Asa. Lauren isn't exempt from criticism just because she's a pregnant woman. And the criticism about their kid is actually about their poor choices as parents. I almost think I'd enjoy watching them once a week or so if they took their daughter offline and weren't so nonchalant about obesity. Do they think she won't get bullied IRL from having her life put online? My kid would roll over and die if I talked about her farts to a bunch of strangers!!

 

[Sweetums]

Lauren is just nasty.
She's making lunch for the girl and repositions her top knot and didn't wash her hands.
She had the nerve to talk shit and accuse a random man at the bank picking his nose then touching the bank tube thingy.
You know that hair is nasty!!!
That husband of hers really needs a personality.
He seems kind enough but damn he has no personality that I have noticed.
I am shocked she doesn't have a bottle of that $48.00 hand sanitizer that her bestie has been pushing non stop on her channels.
I wish she would stop saying how exhausted
She is.
Nobody cares.
In my opinion.

I like how Lauren picked up her cheap but very effective hanitizer in her car and showed what she uses. She,s honest at least and doesn't seem like a fake.

 

[VickyIsAwesome]

So husband quits his job to vlog, so they don't have any Medical Insurance now. And they want to have another baby? What the hell?

Yep seems so strange to me!!

 

[NeedTeaSis]

What gets me about this chick? She has vlogs about how to get around and go places when you are fat. Seriously?

I hope she has one where she stresses to overweight people the importance of buying yourself 2 seats to fly anywhere.

She actually does. LOL. It was in a vlog right around the time she went to Texas the first time.

 

[Interspaced]

I am soooo glad I came across this thread! I found and subbed to Lauren for a few months in late 2018/early 2019 through Keto (I had never heard about Asa and his family until I read this forum today). Even after the first few videos, there was just something about her that put me off...even now i'm not 100% sure what it is but she really started annoying me. I then started realising that she was cleeeearly not on Keto most of the time (which I have no issue with, I completely understand that food addiction runs deep and is VERY hard to break. I also dip with Keto so I didnt hold this against her at all) but what pissed me off about that was how she would still vlog and just not mention anything about Keto or food, which was completely fine until id watch video after video of be uploaded (I never expect every single one of her videos to be about Keto) and none of them would have anything to do with Keto...I dont know, it just felt very deceptive and its something I cant stand in Youtubers. I honestly felt like she was using her Keto subscribers to keep vlogging and keep the income coming in but because she wasn't addressing it ie "Frands, I need to let you know that im not on Keto right now" it just felt really wrong to me. The more she hid things, the less I watched.

Lauren then stopped Keto videos altogether so I unsubscribed. To be fair, she did at this point say that she had stopped Keto. I understand peoples lives change, people go on and off diets all the time but I was there for Keto so there was no point for me to stay subbed and she was still really, really annoying me lol. Every now and then (like today) I get bored and suddenly remember Lauren and look her up. Now I see she is not doing Keto at all and is pregnant haha.

On the other hand, I really like John! He seems so genuine and I can tell something has changed in him mentally since the last time I watched them which has lead to his weight loss. Im now subbed to John but not Lauren haha.

I love that I cant vent here! haha
