I agree that Sockie is the most spoilt..when things don't go her way, she crosses her arms and sulks.. I find her to be extremely bossy..i honestly believe she is the favourite child..She met Gordon Ramsay..runs Norris Nuts Gaming, and wants her own cooking channel..she can't even cook, and is scared of the stove lol..she's never gonna be a chef, if she hasn't had some kind of training..I think Naz will eventually rebel..you can see in some of the more recent videos, she's starting to change..she voices her opinion alot more now..at least Naz is a good sport..I think Brooke is a control freak..I'd like to see what it's like when the camera is off.

Not to mention, a guinea easily be bought at a local pet shop and only cost a couple dollars, as opposed to the ridiculous amount for Sockie’s lunch with Gordon even if it was for charity. They’re also not like a dog or cat that requires a lot of care but are still good for teaching a young child responsibility and they tend to be friendly and affectionate. Naz would be really grateful and you can tell she really wants one, whereas if Sockie is that into cooking I don’t see why they had to make a big deal out of setting up the lunch, for a fraction of the cost she could have just been enrolled in teen cooking lessons where she would learn the basics of proper measurements and how to keep oil from splattering on the stove. But no, everything must be clickbait to get those views from the kiddies. Brooke is a definitely a control freak so she probably is just worried about having small messes to clean up and ending up having to take care of it herself, or is waiting to make it a big deal when Naz is a little older.It’s even worse for Naz. The amount of times the guinea pig has been dangled in front of her. Sockie just cried and they dropped a bomb load of cash to meet a person? At least a guinea pig could be used as a learning opportunity, taking care of something ect. Sockie will be over her cooking phase soon and will be into something else. Meeting Gordon was over in an hour and a guinea pig pig will live for years. Everything just seems so staged and click bait. It’s just seems like Brooke is obsessed in having a perfect family for the camera.
I would also like to see what they are like off camera, or a typical DITL. I think it would be pretty telling.
I agree Sockie is the most spoilt (and seemingly a favourite of Brookes in the way they imitate each others styles). She wanted the gaming channel (despite being banned from games at the time?) and she got it. Now she wants a cooking channel as well (despite being afraid of the stove and not displaying any cooking skill to her audience whatsoever so far) and Brooke was talking about converting that whole second house into a big kitchen set for their cooking channel? None of the other kids have really expressed an interest in cooking/a cooking channel so I don't understand the push for one?
Meanwhile poor Naz gets her guinea pig dream flashed in front of her every few vlogs with no result! She and Sabre have both shown interest in having a beauty channel - which they (Sabre at least) seem alright at for their ages and would probably do well at if they were allowed to mature or separate off from their siblings - but don't get it.
They also heavily exaggerate on the fact that a guinea pig costs $1000 (do they actually in Australia?) which is really expensive but then as others have said they dropped $50,000 (plus flights, acommodation, etc.) for Sockie to meet Gordon? Naz definitely comes across as the most mature out of them all - we can see when she's acting for the camera and when she's being herself.

Also, Naz & Sabre's interest in makeup actually seems genuine. I can't help but think that Sockie isn't that into cooking at all, but is just saying it so she has "her thing". Lots of kids do that & it's fine, but not to the extent of meeting Gordon Ramsey. Has she ever cooked anything out of those cookbooks? Probably not. I looked on gumtree Australia & they go for about $30 so I don't see them being $1000 from a pet store, they're definitely exaggerating.
Here in the UK, guinea pigs alone are pretty cheap (from pets at home at least) but their hutches are quite pricey. However, I've done some research and it says that 'prices can range from $10 to $100+ depending on the breeder and type of guinea pig'. That isn't a lot! And they can't pretend like they can't afford it-they're absolutely loaded! It only seems like Brooke and Justin are dangling a guinea pig in front of her nose for the camera's sake-you've seen how much times brooke's put the prize of a guinea pig in a mystery box and, coincidentally, Naz never seems to open the one that has the guinea pig in it. It feels like Brooke shows herself putting the voucher thingy in the box, then after the camera's off just throws it away or something. Ugh.
Just watched their latest video, and Sabre says she hopes she gets Naz as the person whose photo she has to recreate, since their styles are similar.
Can she not see that it’s not normal for a fifteen year old and a nine year old to dress the same way?
Also, side note: it’s quite funny to see how their content is floundering now they can’t run the to mall and spend hundreds of dollars on useless crap. Only so many ‘who can recreate’ challenges you can do.

OMG, currently watching their recreating instagram pictures and can’t believe sockie, a 13 year old cannot do her own hair. All she has to do is tie it half up half down, it’s not that hard. I also find it a bit mean that Brooke only gave them 10 mins to transform themselves into each other, yet specifically told Sabre she should straighten her hair. I have similar hair type to her and take at least 20-25 mins. Plus Brooke offered to help sockie curl her hair but only moved onto sabre after helping her. Also, Sabre was the only one who’s picture Brooke really scrutinised. I don’t get why they make their kids go through all this excitement and challenges to get a chance at winning a mystery box, it’s all just for build up so people keep watching and so they don’t have to keep buying more things for their kids to win (because the totally can’t afford it).

About the guinea pigs they cost about $50 for two the hutch would cost about $100 and the same for a run. They would have to get two otherwise they would be very lonely. They need grassy area to run around in and by the looks of it they don’t have a garden just a decked floor. So obviously they have not in the slightest looked into it or it was just never going t happen and it was always just click bait for the camera . Most likely the second one.
People have speculated that Sockie perhaps has ASD due to the ‘happy arms’. It might also explain why she is obsessed with cooking. Kids with ASD often have a topic they are obsessed with. Sockie sits in bed and reads cook books but doesn’t seem to actually cook anything from them?
I watched their video reacting to Txunamy’s video and they all yell so much! I’m surprised with Brooke as a parent that they all seem to yell instead of talking at a normal volume?!

It’s the constant shouting that drives me insane when my daughter watches. It’s just not necessary!
I so agree that Sockie may have some mild form of Austism..She gets very fixated on certain things such as the cooking..I was thinking the same thing about the cookbooks..she reads them, but never cooks anything from them.. look at the chances she was given to win the Nutella cookbook..it's nice to make the kids dreams come true, but $50,000 to meet a chef?..all Naz wants is a Guinea Pig, and Hutch..$200 at the most..I guess the $50,000 did help with the bushfire victims, so that was great..instead of a cooking channel, give Sabre and Nazzy a chance to do their beauty channel..they're actually getting so much better..

My daughter is watching an episode now where they have to dress up as each other. The Sabre and Sockie cant even tie their hair back in a ponytail in their own. Thats madness at their age
Sabre can, Sockie can't. I wonder if she really can't or just can't be bothered to learn..
Im not against homeschooling but these kids are a good example why they should be around other kids, they dont even have to go to school full time they can take classes and be around others more.
I wonder what other basic skills these kids don’t have, doing you hair in a pony tail is hardly anything too taxing to learn, maybe it’s because their mum likes to be able to control how they do their hair, just like how she likely controls what they wear.
I doubt that Sockie has autism-I've looked at the symptoms and she doesn't seem to match them. But I don't know. We can't make assumptions about children's mental health
I complete ASD assessments and she definitely meets some of the criteria. High functionings girls often appear very social and actually want to make friends and be liked by everyone, however have difficulties reading social cues and with social language etc. Sockie only socialises with her siblings from what we see in vlogs so it wouldn’t surprise me if her siblings are used to her and make accommodations etc as they don’t know any different. She’s 13 years old. If you put her in a year 7 class and compared her with same age peers there would be a lot of red flags. We are just so used to seeing them with their siblings only. Same with Sabre, put her in a year 9 or 10 class and she is very different to same aged peers.
Oh my God! In Sabre's recent tiktok she said she's not allowed to wear make up outside of the house. Seriously does Brooke (or possibly Justin) think she's 9? She should be allowed to live a little and make the most of her teenage years. Honestly hope she reads some of the comments and hopefully start to realise she should be allowed to act her age
The biggest sign to me that Sockie’s on the spectrum is the arm flapping like she can’t control it (she was doing it a lot in the food recipe hacks) but if she is she’s likely on the more mild end of it. I won’t try to diagnose her, I just think the main thing is none of them get much socialisation and they are young and behind for their age. I agree, put them in a classroom with their peers and there would be a noticeable difference at just how much they don’t get. Keeping Sabre from looking older is unhealthy and will only do more harm than good especially when adulthood hits. Both parents need to recognise that she just isn’t a little girl anymore. Yes she has a growth disorder and looks like a child but allow her the freedom to be 15. Letting her wear the padded bra, clothes that aren’t meant for a 9 year old and some makeup if she wants would go a long way and allow her to look like more of a regular teenager.
