Going back to those children's behaviour, anything we see is 100% a product of their upbringing.
Those children have been trained like performing animals. All children desperately want their parents attention. In that house, 'attention' is exhibiting blog-worthy moments so everything they demonstrate is sculpted by their parents.
That's why we see such extremes.
Izzy when she's a carbon copy of her mum: wants approval in that moment.
Esme: being loud and dramatic
Isla: being baby boo boo
Jace: being cute, precocious, star of the show.
They are all fighting for attention and approval all the time and Sarah only gives it sparingly, manipulating their actions.
As for Creepy, he's all about appearances. The kooky fun loving dad dressing up in inflatables; the cool van lifer; rebel skater boi; doting step-dad (isn't he so amazing looking after a child who isn't his etc etc). It's all facade, none of it is real, they're just personas designed to feed his ego with praise.
Outside of that he does very little nurturing or caring. His needs and ego always come first. For someone that pushed for home schooling, extra children, van life, he does very little of substance to actually facilitate these life style choices. Instead it's all an excuse not to actually parent.
Finally, if vlogging is such a stressful hard job, just stop. Tell the ifam it's effecting your family life and go back to your normal job that is obviously so much easier
. Oh but you can't can you because one parent working at the airport isn't enough to pay the mortgage on a 700k house is it? Never mind, you have all your set for life investments! Use those and give your whole family a break if everything you've told us is true.
Sorry, that's a lot
. This family grind my gears so much, there must be some real attachment issues going on and I desperately hope those girls are on someone's radar. I just worry there are so many children in need of help, because they're feed and clothe they won't be anyone's priority and will slip through the gaps.
