Appears like it.

I was hoping others are watching this. I was curious. It’s not what I expected at all. I have a lot of questions after watching the Monday night episode.

And, bald men…….

I find it interesting how most of her vocal tics are about certain body parts. Not much about ears, toes or feet, but a lot about penises and vaginas.

And my parents always insisted a pony couldn’t live on our carport! Ha! Lol

What has happened? Did they change writers? The series started out great, but turned. Not good, imo and I may be done with the show. So unnecessary.

Has anyone seen an update on this family?

Amber is so full of herself. If she were only half as great as she thinks she is……Nobody knows how to do things the right way, like she does. She’s insufferable and Trent too for encouraging her. Sadly, I see no way Amber can really change how she is. And, she’s perfect in her mind, so……

I understand why Anna has issues with her parents. They are super control freaks and especially Amber is mean. She’s always seemed to despise Anna. I suspect it’s because Anna is so attractive. So, Trent and Amber won’t come out looking good on this. Imo, they need to apologize to Anna and enter treatment to figure out how to treat a child right. Best wishes for Anna in finding a support system with authentic people who aren’t as dysfunctional as her parents.

I thought Colin’s words were very nice. I’m surprised he was in such a horrible place until he met her. Wonder what was going on.

I have a couple of opinions on the proposal. First, regarding any couple, I detest public marriage proposals. Always a pet peeve of mine. Just my personal taste. To me that’s private and a special time for the two. Doing it at a ballgame, middle of restaurant, at large gathering screams insecurity. Anyway, others feel differently. And, if there is money involved, I get how that may be a motivation to bring on the drama. Since I realize the realty (wink, wink) show needs content, I understand a proposal is good content. But, snark is good, no? Lol So, I won’t judge the decision too harshly. I would be embarrassed of a grown man asking a father of a grown woman about proposing. Just yuck.

I may watch the episode about her history again. We have Primetime On Demand on TLC, so I think it’s available. I suspect the suspicion of her symptoms and the age she suffered substantially, was suspect. That’s why diagnosis was difficult. Eventually, she ended up at the Mayo Clinic. At least that’s what I have read. I have no reason to doubt it. I doubt they would publicly say she she was diagnosed by Mayo if she wasn’t. When they were at the Tourette’s Convention, were there any other adults who had the degree of vocal tics that Baylen did? It is a neurological condition, but I still wonder how the tics would go if they brought her no attention. And, as far as her OCD and Anxiety…..what is she doing to address them. Those things are very debilitating too. Working on those issues would be a priority if I were to be her caregiver.

I agree about Trent and Amber. Total control freaks. They are very similar to my parents regarding that. It gets worse the older you get. Ugh….. Ref. Poppy’s death. Wasn’t it Valentines when they went for a visit? There was a red rose in a vase. He died early March, so just a few weeks later! That’s bizarre. Did they say how long he had had dementia? Where is the mother living? Trent’s sister?

I have, but decided to accept the show as it’s offered. True, that most Tourette’s is diagnosed in childhood and more pronounced in children than adults, but if she was diagnosed at The Mayo Clinic, that’s good enough for me.

I certainly appreciate the toll it takes having a person with a disability in the family. I know this first hand, however they seem to have created this bigger than life drama revolving around Baylen’s issues. And somehow it doesn’t seem to be just for the tv show. The parents seem to believe they are responsible for Baylen, instead of her being responsible for herself. There doesn’t seem to be any reason she can’t do that, except for her parents taking over and looking at things from a worst case scenario. When my special needs niece was 4 years old, I worked with her on various tasks. Her favorite phrase from that point was “I did it by myself!” Self reliance is critical for everyone, so all the focus on protection instead of growth needs more balance, imo. Maybe, life skills lessons would be helpful for Baylen. Handing the reins over to Collin seems concerning to me.
