I understood that as her/him not being able to get on FaceTime with Jonathan. Then again, if that's not a good time for that, bringing a witch a four feral kids is hardly a good idea.she said "Well, it's not going to work Jonathan, because he's just.. he's just... laid down and just exhausted unfortunately.. so... um... sorry about that. "
To anyone with a little bit of sensitivity they would understand that this is a 'no, please don't come and bring your whole family', but she was not clear enough and Jonathan just went ahead and showed the campervan and the excited kids....
But I guess, we don't know their relationship, or their situation. Everyone handles these things different, what may seem off and wrong to us may well be perfectly normal in their family. If the mother genuinely doesn't want them to come at all, I suppose she could've said so. I don't know and I don't care about this particular bit as all persons involved in that decisions are adults of more or less sound mind.. whatever works for them.
My issue is that this story isn't told for sympathy when it appears that they don't even have much of a relationship. Not the Time to capitalize on it. That's disgusting. Whether or not they go to visit is their thing, that's the one thing I won't judge them for; who knows if they even take the kids to see him, he may well be in a state where it's not possible, or he may be in a state where the kids don't really know that he's dying.
Personally I don't think it's a good idea to go, but like I said, I don't know their situation, I just think that this is very much a private family matter and should definitely not be exploited for financial gain and sympathy on YT.
I'm not even surprised anymore, they have no shame and that's that.
These kids are grow up with their imaginary sibling Squid, I'm just... yeah, I wouldn't, but I'm really not surprised anymore.
