I don’t understand why they try to make such a huge deal of such mundane things? Like fair enough yes the neighbours could have soME interest in the lights & where they came from but who tf has a switch on unless it’s like huge display of Christmas lights or whatever. No one would be that excited, & it’s funny you don’t hear about them for weeks then they’re SO excited for something. I don’t understand the need to feel like they have to over-exaggerate every tiny little minute detail. It’s the problem I think they feel they have to because otherwise their vlogs will be dull & boring (not that they seemingly are that full of life now). But they do it so freakin much and actually, there will be a certain level of people who as they grow older will become more aware of that and the web of silly little lies they’ve told and their channel will take even more of a hit.
As for Isla, can we just remember that she is just a child, she has been constantly babied for however many years & also children do mature at different ages, they may be ahead in some aspects but others not so much. (Even not to the point of not being able to be at a birthday party by herself.. like children act differently when their parents are around). Wanting attention/etc is exceptionally normal & again depending on the child will depend in which ways it comes about so there is nothing ‘wrong’ with Isla’s behaviour, she just needs to be stopped being spoken to in such a babied manner (whenever they say boo-boo it’s always said in such a condescending manner) and that will help her move forwards leaps and bounds. Children do also change and mature a lot also moving up from year 2 to year 3 so that may also be a big change as well.
