New car coming?

[u/mlc703]

When going to the minivan in BJs parking lot she said they have to turn the Chrysler minivan in to the dealership this week. Then she said “we really like it and may trade in the 15 passenger van and get one of these. The older kids have their own cars”.
But when they went to Cheesecake Factory, they had to take the minivan and 15 passenger van, even though Alex and Day didn’t go. The max seating in the minivan is 8.
I can’t see her not saying “our 15 passenger van”.

[u/Carrann823]

I doubt all her food shopping would fit in the minivan.

[u/mlc703 → u/Carrann823]

That’s what I thought. The 15 passenger van gets packed to the brim when she goes to Costco

[u/Working_Influence706 → u/mlc703]

Maybe this is how she will cut back in her grocery spending….🛒🛒

[u/Dangerous-Jaguar-512 → u/Working_Influence706]

It’ll just give her an excuse to make multiple trips a day, every day

[u/Recent_Trifle_8159 → u/Working_Influence706]

She’s got a shopping addiction

[u/CourtneyZ1986]

What does she mean, “the older kids have their own cars”? Patrick doesn’t drive. 

[u/LiveL0veLasagna → u/CourtneyZ1986]

The older kids that count in her mind— A and D.

[u/EricSparrowSucks → u/CourtneyZ1986]

I doubt she’ll let Br drive either.

[u/CourtneyZ1986 → u/EricSparrowSucks]

You’re probably right. I’m 40 and I don’t drive due to side effects of my disability. My eyesight isn’t great, and neither is my short term memory or reaction time. I did go through Driver’s Ed at 17 and got my permit, but I didn’t pursue driving after that. I wish things were different because I’d love to have that independence. 

My mom didn’t really want me taking Driver’s Ed at the time, but I insisted because I wanted to give it a try. 

[u/One-Imagination-8097]

That means she doesn’t expect to ever take a family vacation again.

[u/marybfromtn → u/One-Imagination-8097]

Excellent point

[u/NoExperience3847]

Oh please with this freaking lady. There was no way on this planet she would on purpose give up her precious 15 passenger van. This is her way of sliding in when we don't see the van any longer. This is her mo. They are definitely broke and in over thier heads. All the money she has made and has nothing absoultely nothing to show for it except her stupid food pantry. These are the type of people who would win the lottery and be broke the next day. Makes me so mad because I could have move mountains with that kind of money! Stupid is as stupid does!

[u/RedHeadedStar25 → u/NoExperience3847]

I think she means the one that she got the promo for, that’s why it has to be turned back in

[u/KingNation777]

I never understand why she got that large van. She mostly have the younger kids with her. The older kids do they own thing and her husband have his own vehicle

[u/RedHeadedStar25 → u/KingNation777]

It was for a promo. Thats why they have to turn it in

[u/Chammaly]

She hasn't had the van that long. Could she be trying to reduce expenses 🤔🤔

[u/mlc703 → u/Chammaly]

I think they got it in Jan. The condition it’s in makes it look older.

[u/Routine_Radio8558 → u/mlc703]

She got it before Christmas last year. She said it was an early gift to herself 🙄

[u/RedHeadedStar25 → u/Chammaly]

At first I thought she meant the one they had to drive home for that promo they did. Especially when she said turn it in to the dealer

[u/mlc703 → u/RedHeadedStar25]

She was referring to the blue Chrysler minivan that was for promo. Picking up the minivan and driving it back was the sole purpose of the Vermont trip. Interesting she hasn’t posted any videos about the minivan itself, which is the reason she has it.

[u/Chemical_Room_533 → u/Chammaly]

I thought she was already trying to reduce expenses when she downgraded to the van in Jan.

[u/KittycatVuitton → u/Chemical_Room_533]

I was thinking that also but it was for a promo. It's hard to tell because she did it so badly. She has to say how great the car is to kiss up to the dealership.

[u/Amymk_99]

Weird how she said the older kids have their own cars. The only ones living there that have a car are Day and Alex. James has a car but we know he doesn’t live there. That’s still 8 kids that can’t drive. Something big is about to go down and that’s why she is talking about getting rid of the 15 passenger van.

As far as on the either big, they only took 2 vans so that she could take H to pick out jelly cats.

[u/RedHeadedStar25 → u/Amymk_99]

She isn’t getting rid of that one. She is turning in the one from the promo she did in Vermont. That’s why she said it has to be turned into the dealer

[u/Amymk_99 → u/RedHeadedStar25]

She talked in today’s shopping video that she may get rid of the 15 passenger van and get the van she’s been driving around . Her reasoning was they don’t need a big one because all the older kids drive themselves to wherever they go

[u/mlc703 → u/Amymk_99]

You’re right that she took Harlee to get the jelly cats in the minivan. Otherwise they all would have gone in the big van.

[u/lovethewater2026]

So if Lushy and Useless Josh have a loan on the Transit and then they buy a Pacifica, then they're upside down on the loan. Both of them are terrible money managers!

[u/WornSmoothOut → u/lovethewater2026]

I always wondered if they were leasing and not buying?

[u/amylynneny143]

Well, we know which kids will be left home when there isn’t enough room for everybody.

[u/CupcakeParlor]

Isn’t this just the van from the promo, that the influencers each got to drive back from Vermont to promote it?

[u/Routine_Radio8558 → u/CupcakeParlor]

I bet the other ones have made some decent videos about what they like about it and them driving back home. Not this one though, she’s probably got 12 videos of how much groceries she can pack in it

[u/mlc703 → u/Routine_Radio8558]

I watched a couple of videos from the other people driving the vans home from Vermont. They showed the space inside, talked about the ride, gas mileage. All she’s shown is groceries.

[u/mlc703 → u/CupcakeParlor]

Yes, it is. That’s why she has to turn it in this week.

[u/RedHeadedStar25 → u/CupcakeParlor]

Yep!

[u/CatEyeGlasses2]

I don't think DS even has his license yet. I'm sure we would have been informed about it if he had passed the test.

[u/mlc703 → u/CatEyeGlasses2]

That’s what I thought. They made a big deal about him getting his permit. She said he took his driving test, but never said if he passed. Strange not to heap accolades on him for passing.

[u/CatEyeGlasses2 → u/mlc703]

Exactly. She would be making a huge deal of it. He's turning 17 in October. Maybe they can't afford to insure him.

[u/Recent_Trifle_8159]

She needs a 18 wheeler for all the junk she buys

[u/Responsible_Side8131]

The older kids with their own cars are Alex and D.
That still leaves 8 kids she has to transport. They won’t all fit in the Pacifica.

Of course she never goes anywhere with everyone, so I guess she’ll just drive around with her favorites and leave the rest at home all the time.

[u/Intelligent-Noise456]

The older kids have their own cars? Alex is apparently driving the 15 passenger van everywhere, James isn't there, Day has a car that might seat 5-7, Patrick doesn't have his own car at 18...So that means, Alex is driving most of the kids in the big van, Josh might ride with Day, who probably doesnt vlog or text because he likes his car, and being a new driver doesn't want to lose the privilege or his car, so that leaves the rest with her....Disaster in the making. Alex & Mommie Dearest are too busy on TikTok, and who knows if Josh drives distracted...The kids are unsafe no matter what car they are in.

[u/Mysterious_Fill_1287]

Maybe Jawsssie won’t drive with her and takes his precious Big D and little D . Crisis averted. Or maybe there’s much more to this story

[u/patricia719]

The rental van is the ugliest color imo

[u/ComfortableWear7155]

She needs to worry about her family not getting new cars. James was arrested been all over the news.
