The whole pin trading thing was dumb on so many levels. First the kid probably is to young to understand the concept of it. The fact that they spent a whole day doing it made me wince even more. He's three years old, he hardly had the attention span to do a whole day of pin trading, and as audiene members I didn't want to watch a whole day pin trading. Just have him trade pins at one or two places then move on.Even if they have no internet whatsoever, there’s no reason they can’t post something to social media with their phones. Tim proved that they gave some kind of access because of his Christmas tweet. Why even lie? It would’ve been better for them to just be honest about whatever the situation is. Having trouble parenting your kids and working? On a true vacation and dont want to be bothered? Just say it. Yeah, we would probably all laugh at it and have things to say. But at least they wouldn’t be leaving all their Stan’s worried about wtf is going on.
And the pins, yeah it was funny to see him trading Jenn’s beloved pins, but I was cringing that she really couldn’t tell him no. I have no issue with her if she doesn’t want certain pins traded, I get that. Just tell the kid no! They are really in for a crazy ride with him as he gets older.

Maybe the social media posts are part of the contract for getting whatever preview they were granted. I know when I used to review books they made explicitly clear that they wanted us to post across multiple platforms, so I could see something similar being done by the event.Even if they have no internet whatsoever, there’s no reason they can’t post something to social media with their phones.

Along the same lines, Tim…learn how to tell your wife no. You’ve created two monsters.
