This is going to be a bit longer and I'm sorry if this has already been discussed, but I just felt like I had to say something. These power games Jonathan plays with the kids for his own ego ring major alarm bells with me regarding his personality but also make my heart break for the kids.
First scene is when they lie in bed, Alessia wants to get carried down, she says it over and over again, instead of telling her to stop whining, he ignores her to continue vlogging her, then he finally says: 'say please', she stops crying and says 'please' immediately. Then he says 'say, sciddely, widdely, piddely, poo', she says 'please' again instead. He says 'all you have to say is sciddely, widdely, piddely, poo!'. She's embarassed to say it and looks confused, mumbles 'please' again instead. Jonathan goes: 'say it!', she starts crying, he goes again: 'say, sciddely, widdely, piddely, poo!'. Then his monkey brain gets distracted. I'm glad Alessia later told him to put on a shirt before he can carry her down the stairs, even she doesn't want that stench near her.
Second one is when they get an LOL package (entitled, too lazy to prepare and parent Jonathan says to the camera that LOL dolls will have to send them one for each child in the future). Jonathan is there with Eduardo, Emilia and Alessia. It's a book that can only be opened with the magnet of the watch, plus pens than can write secret messages in the book. It's not something than can easily be split between three kids, but there he is, setting the stage for them to have a massive fight over it because the items hardly can be used individually. Eduardo asks if he can get the watch, Emilia says 'Daddy chooses', Eduardo immediately looks like he knows this isn't going to end well for him, Jonathan says 'whoever is my favourite child should be comfortable. Who is my favourite child?'. Eduardo immediately looks sad and looks over to Emilia. He asks again, 'Who is my favourite child?'. Emilia raises her arm. 'Eduardo, who's Daddy's favourite child?', Eduardo looks heartbroken and defeated and points his finger at Emilia. Then buries his head in his knee. 'Emilia, who's Daddy's favourite child?', even Emilia looks sad about all of this, but knows to say 'me' and point at herself. After this pointless exercise, they (including Jonathan) then rip open the box like savages.
The toy seems incredibly trashy btw:
