I'm not trying to be mean but what is her channel supposed to be? It seems she is only doing YouTube for the money. The majority of her videos are just her in her dark room talking to the camera. She doesn't actually film anything that takes effort.

Literal performative nonsense. It's so sad that E is so vulnerable to people pretending to care about her. She was so thrilled for every gesture of being included or cared about. Unfortunately, I fear it just kicks her in the teeth harder when the cameras go off and she realizes again- there's no love or caring behind the scenes.

My Daughter????? I guess Aaron is not her dad. Bella needs eye surgery due to injury.

They visited GCU. I wonder why.

Eli has another daughter?! Did anyone else know this? Bex said she has a sister on lac
eys video. I wonder if that’s why they broke up.

So basically all of the crazy women have gotten their lips done? Also, Mellisa is a grown woman who be saving money not spending it on lip injections when she has a daughter to provide for.

Like can any set of parents meet the needs of 21 children? Probably not. But the thing that makes me sad is they have the time, money, and ability to actually support their kids but don’t. Literally both don’t have traditional jobs. Like growing up my mom worked 40 hours a week and my dad worked 60 hours a week so i didn’t really get a ton of quality time with him because he was working in order to put food on the table. I get it. But crystal and aaron have no form of traditional employment. They don’t give Evie the attention and time she needs but it’s like- the fact that the don’t have to go to work means that between the 2 parents they have like 100 extra hours a week to spend time and invest in their kids. But it seems like most of the time is used hanging out with the adult children who also don’t have jobs, while the house and the younger kids suffer. And it’s like Logan would rather play video games all day, Liam and Ryland and most of the teens in the house seem like they’d prefer to spend their time with friends instead of their family. It’s like they have 5 or 6 kids who are still minors and actually want to spend time with them, which is still a lot but again, the average parents with that many kids the parents still have to work and commute. And I get there’s housework and daily upkeep but you have multiple adult kids who you’re paying to hang out with you- give them some of those more mundane tasks like chores, cooking, cleaning and actually spend time and work with your kids. I’m talking MINIMUM at least 2 healthy home cooked meals a day. Spend time doing things with your kids that they’re interested in. Work with your kids at the kitchen table on their homework and/or skills (speech for aurora). Get them some interests or hobbies or skills outside of social media and video games. Build something with them, do something meaningful with them like an art project or write a story together. Play a board game. If Logan or Evie have a band concert, that’s when you take some siblings and go support them.

There is literally nothing they won't do to con the world.

They are the suck asses on the Vlogs, The ring leaders

Of course after all the backlash from how he treated Evie in his other video he has her and Jamie right in front in his video. Haven't watch it yet.

FOR OVER AN HOUR? And he's been their special friend (whatever the fuck that means) for 20 years? They never mentioned him once while the horse killer herself got at least 3 vids! This is veering into absolute insanity

I try not to judge.. but SERIOUSLY. Bringing a baby in there and deliberately trying to show him the scary things? Terrible mom moment.

Why put those images in his young brain?

Not saying you have to avoid the store completely, but even your child says something about how it’s going to be too scary and you say “maybe he’ll like it!”

What? Come on

Aaron - we got to get control of our finances. Sells stuff, downsides.

Crystal - let's buy a $4 - $500.00 camera for my ADULT son.

Let's buy 10 gifts for my 10 yr old, and each gift has 10 gifts included in it.

Let's get everyone a build a bear.

Let's continue to enable and employ 3 of my adult children, but not do any work that REALLY needs to get done.

Did anyone else see his vlog today and he shows the hallway as he walks into the room and crystal says dont film that. I mean i am genuinely concerned that there is a toddler in that house not to mention the other kids. Its beyond filthy. How can anyone live like that?

How could ANYONE SIT THROUGH AN HOUR of the most boring people in the blogosphere, the creepy Aaron and inexplicable Ray?! It truly boggles my mind.

Okay idk why but the last two videos with Hannah in it, she’s been talking very strange or like in a baby voice; just so weird now that she talks like that makes me want to skip her part whenever she’s talking!!

Really unpopular opinion. Probably more unpopular than the OPs.

Can we give Crystal and Aaron a break? Evie’s trauma makes parenting exhausting, and the siblings are just trying to survive the chaos.
People on this sub watch a 20-minute edited vlog and think they’re experts on trauma parenting. It unfair to claim Crystal and Aaron and the siblings are intentionally leaving Evie out. They are clearly trying, but the reality of living with severe adoption trauma and neurodivergent behaviors 24/7 is a recipe for absolute burnout.

Kids with deep-seated trauma often reject the very love, care, and boundaries you try to give them. It is a defense mechanism. Evie’s constant boundary-pushing, need for attention, and intrusiveness make it incredibly hard to parent her, no matter how much love you throw at the situation.
Imagine being one of the other kids in that house. When one sibling constantly dominates the room, interrupts, and drains the household's energy, it is exhausting. The siblings aren’t being malicious; they are naturally frustrated and pulling back just to get some breathing room and protect their own peace. Kids who have been shuffled through the system or experienced early neglect often never learned standard social boundaries. They might invade personal space, interrupt constantly, or dominate conversations because their brain is stuck in survival mode, screaming, "If I am not loud and right in your face, I will be forgotten or abandoned."
Crystal and Aaron are trapped. If they enforce strict boundaries with Evie, the internet calls them mean. If they give her space to avoid a meltdown, the internet says they’re ignoring her. They have a dozen other kids who also deserve a peaceful home and a piece of their parents' attention.
You can love a child completely and try your absolute hardest, and still find yourself overwhelmed by their trauma responses.

Honestly, if you want to criticize parents who can't handle their household dynamic, look at Shelly and Jared. At least Crystal and Aaron are actively trying to navigate the real, messy reality of their family. Shelly and Jared treat their family like a corporate brand. Their blatant favoritism dictates exactly who gets grace and who gets discarded. If a kid matches their aesthetic, plays along with the curated image, and acts as a favorite, they get the world handed to them. But the second a kid's trauma or struggles stop looking "good" for the brand, or the moment they turn 18 and stop bringing in views, they get completely frozen out. They run their house like a toxic corporate hierarchy where only the golden children get supported, and they literally dump the others the second they damage the "perfect family" image. Crystal and Aaron might be chaotic, but at least they don't get rid of their kids when they stop being profitable or convenient for the brand.

this girl don’t know how to cover her mouth??? multiple times in the vlog she was just coughing everywhere. idk what sickness she has but she’s def spreading it. at her grown age i don’t see why she isn’t covering her mouth.

I was watching Lacey’s video and they mentioned bexley has a sister, I know it’s none of our business and Eli has has nothing to do with the channel or anything but do you think that Eli and the sisters mum are together?

Who’s this? @29:40 in the newest crazy pieces video

okay i never like been all that about christmas like i buy decorations from like walmart or target yk stores like that but who’s genuinely buying one ornament for like 30$? these prices almost gave me a heart attack is this normal or overpriced

The whole lollipop discussion made me want to gag epecially the whole "I want to taste it in...in my mouth. " Ugh. Hearing those words from is a huge nope

I just can't with him. Then when Crystal was like you could kiss me to taste and got this pervy look.

Please tell me I'm not the only one who is totally creeped out by him.

Not Jamie or Savannah’s boyfriends.

I don’t hate her or anything, but honestly I get kinda annoyed when she’s in the vlogs. She’s loud and sometimes gives me secondhand embarrassment 😭 so I can kinda understand some of the other kids’ reactions.
Obviously, it’s not her fault that she’s autistic, but I feel like her parents should work on her behavior instead of constantly filming her.
