What a drama queen Buddy is. He’s playing you Twit
She kind of deserves it though by her acting like he and his issues are solely her responsibility.

If I ever attempt to measure by weight instead of by volume I am bound to screw it up.
It's actually quite easy. I weigh food in grams to get an accurate calorie count as I'm trying to lose weight. It's just another (more accurate) way to measure.

No, they're following around a sex-starved, boundaryless beluga. You have to figure in battle pay.
And therapy for the production crew that has to see her naked/half naked all the time, and deal with her shit.

Speaking of therapists, I'd love to see Dr. Phil host one of these. Can you imagine?
OMG YES! He would chew them up and spit them out. That would be Must See TV!

I went through that stage when I was considering transistioning. This show has helped me in NOT moving forward, and I am 54! I have seen inside a vagina, and it is not pretty. What Jazz means is that she wants pretty labia. Like the ones in Penthouse Magazine. Yes, I am dating myself, LOL!
THANK YOU for pointing that out. I have practically yelled at the tv every time she says she wants a pretty vagina. You can't see it!!! Unless you are looking inside the body. You see the labia. That just drives me nuts that no one corrects her.

I found it scary that Will as a 7 year old wanted to stay in China so he would be around people who were just like him. How much damage is being done to these kids' long term mental health by being adopted by white American parents? If they have to be adopted by whites, maybe they should require that they be around other Chinese people at frequent intervals while growing up...just something so they don't feel like one of a kind?
Wow. I think I need to stay away from this show's forums. I'm disabled, and there is not one person like me, at least where I live, and I have acclimated just fine looking way different than Will does. These forums have opened my eyes to why I still get stared at, and rude comments from people, even though as a society we are supposed to be more open minded about and understanding of different people.

I saw it today, and he really didn't look like he was struggling. I'm sure had it been larger (it was relatively small) he would have taken it up in the elevator or had extra help. The tank, also relatively small, was empty, so again probably not that hard to carry.

I think they are just baiting people - most commercials advertising upcoming shows like this like to create drama - then when you actually watch, it's nothing.

I still don't quite get the set up of their new house. Their living space is the second floor, and the bedrooms and play area are on the third floor? What is the first floor where they temporarily lived now used for then? Where are the washers and dryers? Where will Kate sleep when she stays over night to baby sit? When the kids are in their rooms playing with the doors shut like they seem to do, how does a person on the level below get their attention for, like a meal? Yell up those cavernous stairways, or ride the elevator up to fetch them. They must have a pool keeper, yard man, housekeeper, and probably a cook, and the full time nanny. Couldn't see why they made the kitchen small to suit themselves when I bet neither one seldom cooks in it? The house just seems so impossibly huge for people with mobility problems? Also, considering their size, grocery shopping for the week must be a nightmare? It just seems like they have made their lives worse with this move, not better?
I hate seeing all of these assumptions by people who are not disabled and are just assuming, based on their life view, what they should do. It's their money, their house. Apparently it works for them otherwise they wouldn't have bought it. And as far as the assumption of the "impossibly huge for people with mobility problems" - again, you have no idea. Grocery shopping - how do you know it is a nightmare for them? You do know there are other ways of doing things, and I'm sure they are used to it and it is no big deal to them. Having a disability, you just get used to doing things and not thinking about how hard it is. They have had to figure out how to do things differently all their lives, as I have.

Can anyone fill me in on the fate of that poor suffering cat on the garage floor? I'm tempted to give up TLC because they air that moment constantly. I will not be watching.
I know! They have run that ad for I swear more than two weeks. I was expecting to see what happened last week. Hopefully it's this week so the ad will stop!

If my partner picked up a telephone book and threw it at the wall, i would be very frightened myself. Its highly intimidating and signifies that things may escalate quickly.
Let me give you some perspective: I was once in an abusive marriage and my then husband threw a remote control in my general direction, but not hitting me. I called his family begging them to speak to him, to maybe be able to calm him down. Instead, first thing that came out of their mouths: "what did you do that made him mad?" I will never forget that. Throwing things when you are angry is not normal for a grown man. The throwing objects (books, remote controls, phones) for him turned into grabbing wrists, to twisting wrists, etc. I dont mean to downplay it but families do tend to side with their own, and what your cousin had told you might not have even been the total truth TBH.
Actually, it is the correct version - she (his then wife) told everyone what had happened. Anyway, it was a one-time incident and now he is a pastor and very well respected in the community and no violent tendencies. It was a one-off thing when he was very young. The point I was trying to make is that in Iowa, all you have to do is call and tell them domestic violence, and you are automatically arrested.

I thought it was only in cases where there is visible injury on someone, that they were required to make an arrest.
In Iowa, if you call the police claiming domestic violence, they will arrest. Period. I know this because my cousin got into an argument with his first wife and in his anger threw a telephone book at the wall - not her, didn't hit her. Was a couple of feet away. She called the cops. When they finally showed up about an hour later, she was taking a nap in the bedroom and my cousin was sitting in his car just to get away from her (lived in a small apartment). When the cops finally got there, she said oh, we just were fighting, it's fine now." But they had to arrest him because she made the call. He couldn't see her and had to go to anger management classes. He had to live with his parents for something like 6 months before he could move back in to the apartment.

Kelsey needs to put her foot down and put her out.
You want to be a grown-up and keep making babies that you have no means and no skills to ever have the means to take care of? Fine. Then you're on your own. So what if Lexus gets mad and keeps the kids away from Kelsey as punishment. How much is enough with these entitled brats? It has to end somewhere. They shouldn't get to use the babies as leverage to keep the parents supporting them. Kelsey needs to take a stand or it'll never end.
Yeah, Kelsey bears responsibility for how Lexus was raised, but she's done more than enough for Lexus in helping her with Scarlett. Once can be chalked up to teenage stupidity and immaturity. Twice? Uh-uh. Lexus knows what she's doing. She would be out of my house. Let her take her chances with Shayden. Too bad they've got innocent kids mixed up in their obvious dysfunction.
If you read the rest of the post you partially quoted, you will see that it was from 2 years ago. Not pregnant again.

OMG, the contractor... He told them that the job would be done in 6 weeks. After 3 1/2 months, he was FINALLY almost, not 100%, done. You would think that since he was on nationwide TV, he would have come in on time. Nope.
We are currently having our kitchen redone. The contractor told us that it would take 1 month. We are currently at 2 months. It's still not close to done.
Everyone that I talk to tells the same story. I guess as a profession, all contractors suck. If they all suck, they have no competition and don't even have to try to keep their word.
They don't all suck. Things happen - weather, things don't come in from suppliers when they are supposed to, sub contractors can't make it the very day they "should" start because of another job they started before yours, finding hidden issues in walls, ceilings and floors that need to be addressed - all adds to the time. Then there are the change orders that almost homeowner does, which costs money and time. My dad was a contractor for 40 years built dozens of houses, remodeled many more. Sometimes he came in on time, sometimes he didn't, but it isn't always in the contractor's control. He told me my house remodel - 750 sq ft house, would take 1 month. It was 2 1/2 months. Stuff happens.

If they did punish them, or reprimand them though, they would probably be criticized for that also. I don't think they can win either way. If they were behind closed doors, they might be a lot harsher.

When I read posts defending the appalling behaviour and manners of the Klein children, I understand why Americans and their children have such a poor reputation in other countries.
In the last episode, Bill said the kids were 5 and 7. Do you really think most 5 and 7 year olds have great manners? They don't. I'm a library director, and kids need to be reminded constantly to be quiet, how to behave appropriately, to say please and thank you, etc until they are about 10 -11 years old. Will and Zoey are acting like average 5 and 7 year olds. The only difference is their behavior is on tv for everyone to scrutinize and criticize. People tend to forget that most kids act like this - a lot. It's a process that takes a long time to get manners to stick.

It may be cheaper then counseling, but I think it's awful to lie to people who are grieving and profit from it. She is totally taking advantage of them.

I just can't believe anyone can take her seriously. On one of the previews, she is going through a house where the people that live there think there is a spirit living there. She says something like "wait, I just heard something growl!" . I thought, yeah, your stomach, most likely.

It's because she is. It's because they all are.
This article is all I need to know about the show.
I saw that article yesterday when I was searching for info on her and the show. I can't believe she has a show.

I saw parts of the show last night, and think she seems fake. The things she says she could just be guessing. I don't know, there's just something I don't like about her.

I think that they could have a wonderful standard of living, equal to other medical specialists married to businessmen incomes.
Where I think that they go into gluttonous territory is when they sacrifice their children's and their own privacy, plus deal with all of the other impositions of doing a TV show, for more and more money and things.
They deserve and earn a high standard of living on their work, but they waste so much money that it's sickening. Just watch how much food they order when they take in or eat out. That's just one example of the waste.
The children will suffer at school with their peers because the world sees their private, family business - just so that the parents can throw away money and have more things. I personally find it disturbing.
How do we really know they waste so much food? We only see edited scenes. They very well may have things boxed up to go home with. I think most people waste an awful lot of food, either when they go out to eat and don't eat it all and leave it, or just let stuff sit in their refrigerator. I really don't think they are that wasteful. I was watching the episode where they went out to eat lunch at a sushi place - she got a to-go box for the leftovers.

If they don't want to modify their house that's their decision. Ultimately each family has to decide for themselves what they want to do. One decision is not better than the other. They are not tougher because they didn't modify their house.
Also, at least with the Kleins, Bill and Jen don't have the same dwarfism as the Johnstons. Jen is tiny and was not able to carry a baby. They tried, but I remember her mom was very worried about her trying to get pregnant. Jen's body type looks nothing like Amber or Amy Roloff.
My personal opinion is if you can afford it, why not?
When I did a whole house renovation a few years ago, I remodeled everything and had upper cupboards lowered a few inches, not so much that it would look weird, but so I can atleast reach the 2nd shelf if I stretch. I also had a peninsula put in between the kitchen and living room, and used an upper cupboard as support for it so it ended up being table height for me. I do a lot of food prep there because it is a shorter counter. Also had a "comfort height" toilet put in because of my disability, it is hard to get up off of the shorter, normal ones. I also opted to have a shorter vanity. A lot of them now come a lot taller, but I got a shorter one because again, it helps when standing at the sink. I"m only about 5' tall. I agree that things shouldn't be so difficult in your own home.
One thing also that this made me think of is how they always do their own construction work on their houses. I've seen some instances where it was probably not a good idea for them to do that just because they are so small. I'm all for doing everything you can by yourself if you are disabled, but there is a line where you can't do something without jeopardizing your safety and they sometimes cross that I think just so they can say "see, we can do EVERYTHING!". Occasionally you have to admit you can't do something or need help.

Have you noticed that this family shows very little affection for each other? Especially the parents toward the children. There was a little bit of affection shown when Trent took his daughter to the father/daughter dance, but even that seemed forced. It's almost like the parents don't even like their kids. No hugging, no kisses on the forehead, no arm around the shoulder - nothing. But let a kid do something they perceive is disrespectful - oh my gosh - Amber turns into Mrs. Hyde!
The show where Amber allowed Anna to do her hair and make-up for the ad was the perfect vehicle to show her daughter some love. Instead Amber acted like Anna fussing over her was getting on her nerves. It feels like she "tolerates" her children for the sake of being on TV (a.k.a. MONEY!!).
I thought it was sweet when all the kids (except Anna) piled into their parents bedroom the first night in the new house with sleeping bags. But again, Amber made some crack about it being a good thing she and Trent weren't being amorous when the kids burst in.
I am really not liking the parents this season.
I think that is why I don't like them very much. They are a lot like my parents - unaffectionate, but know how to tell you what to do, when and how to do it. Not very nurturing or loving.

S06.E04: Big Girl, Little Bus
in My Big Fat Fabulous Life
Yeah, I noticed right away how easily Todd ran, and how that contrasted with the way she was just sort of lumbering along.
