The channel was always going to be about the kids, the only reason why he chose the Jonathan Joly one over the Friendliest Friends one is because it has 100k more subs, plus even he must've realised by now how dodgy Friendliest Friend sounds. Before the launch he said the channel would be about him and be about exercising and gardening, stuff he doesn't want to bore people with on the main channel, but no one would be watching that so back to exploiting the kids it was.
Many people on here have been saying for years that Jonathan's involved father spiel is just an act, and I tend to believe them. I don't think he spends a lot of time with them off camera, he could go on bike rides with the older ones, or hiking, activities they could bond over and get some alone time away from the younger kids, but it's the nanny who taught them to ride a bike, it's the nanny who takes them out. And even when he is with them, he's not really there, is he? It's all about the perfect shot and adoring himself in the viewfinder, talking to the kids while looking at the camera. I'm not surprised poor Eduardo is starting to show signs of ADD as Anna said in the last video, there's too much technology in that household (iPads and phones used as babysitters since day one) and too little calm one on one time.
BTW Anna talked about how Eduardo soaks up languages so easily and how well he speaks Spanish, but no mention of the South American au pair they've had last year and has taught them (the blackboard in the playroom was filled with Spanish numbers last year when she used to work for them). It's just plain rude and has nothing to do with the kids or nanny's safety, just acknowledge and thank her for doing that for your kids. But those egomaniacs can't stand having to share the spotlight and want to claim everything themselves. And if Eduardo really soaks up languages so easily, I wonder why all the Italian he speaks comes from their holidays at Forte Village? Anna loves to play the Italian card but other than muttering 'si, si, si' and look like a deer in headlights when spoken to, she can't speak a sentence, doesn't bother to put in the work to learn it and hasn't addresses Italy during the pandemic once, all she cares about is the image Italy brings, and that it's somehow better than her German or Irish roots.
