floridamom July 2, 2022 Share July 2, 2022 For heaven's sake, Carlin...your brother and his new wife will be living there so you will be visiting them and seeing your old place many times, I'm sure. Get over it, girl. Plenty of us "regular folks" out here in the world have left our first place and on to a larger home. On another note, I find it strange that she seems to be fine now with those spells....perhaps too much stress and anticipation before? She will have to put up with a working husband and oh, my God, be alone all day with 2 children. Plenty of wives don't drive; so did that mean their husbands could not work? Certianly not. If this is now Evan's reason for not starting his job, I think this would not be acceptable to his boss. 2 3 3 Link to comment

cereality July 2, 2022 Share July 2, 2022 (edited) I mean they both don't want Evan back to a regular 8 hr/day schedule, when right now it's all about sleeping in, driving Ms. Daisey, taking care of the kids, vacation, blah blah. Too bad they can't say that. Not driving = spouse stays home full time?? Really? Do they realize that there are people who just don't drive for various reasons and that doesn't mean anyone stays home with them full time. Instead they rely on Uber [which they can clearly afford given how they spend], rides from others when really needed [uh Gil, Kelly, Addie, Ellie, Michaela, Tori, etc. come to mind], and plan errands like grocery shopping when their spouse is home. He sounds like a jackass with "my job is protected." I'm a federal court lawyer and homeboy may be want think harder about that. Sure they can't fire him for having taken a leave of absence. BUT if he gets back to work, the industry has slowed down and they don't need as many electricians, yes son they CAN get rid of you. And 99% of the time on FMLA that's how it happens - you're gotten rid of later after you return because the company has realized it got along just fine without you and suddenly doesn't have enough work for you, and there's nothing you can do because it ALWAYS holds up in federal court. And here there is a real slowdown looming in construction. Don't strut around too confidently that your job will be there for you once you decide you're ready to finally get some real post-apprentice experience. But hey they don't care, bring on week 7 of FMLA next week . . . . There are social media business people posting on reddit saying looking at their analytics, E&C are making $2800-8900/month on YouTube; another Redditer says its about $6900/mo; this is with their recent switch to 8 videos/month. The high end of that range lines up with what I had been saying that they're making $5 per 100k views. In any event that puts them at annual YT income of $33,600-$106,800. I'd imagine they're in the higher end of that range in the 80-100k area. The high end of an electrician salary is going to be 70-80k in Tenn. and that'd involve Evan having to be gone 40 hrs/wk, working in hot sweaty construction sites, rather then strutting around on camera with his wife -- so you know both of them are like, use this 12 wks to see where the Lord is REALLY leading us . . . .

She'll be surrounded by family if an emergency happens, like a kid bumps their head, and a family member can drive. They have their influencing income and the BSB (if that makes anything), in addition to YouTube income. Right now, I'm guessing their income without Evans' is close to $200,000 a year.

As far as health insurance, family plans aren't 4x the cost of a single plan. But the cost all depends how how one obtains insurance. There's Obama Care, there are many groups one can join to reduce costs of private insurance, etc. And we don't even know how much Evan's job contributes now - some companies suck. A company I worked for many moons ago would give everyone raises every year and then a few months later, cry poor due to 'some outside influence' and increase the insurance contribution - so really no raise at all. If the Stewarts are making upwards of $100,000 - $200,000, then insurance and taxes should be no big deal. 1 Link to comment
Peanut6711 July 2, 2022 Share July 2, 2022 100% agree that it's ridiculous that he's staying home simply because she can't drive. Been home with 2 kids while recovering from surgery in the past and hubs still went back to work before I was cleared to drive. No big deal. Carlin has plenty of family to call in a pinch or they can run errands when Evan gets home from work. I'd wonder if they considered what they'd do if Carlin has to give up her license for a while due to seizures, but then they'd probably rejoice it was God's will for Even to quit his job and play Driving Miss Carlin. What gets me about these people is that if they want their husbands home, then don't shun higher education and go into fields where working from home is more common (tech, finance, etc.). Then Evan would only be a home office away from Carlin in the event of a medical emergency, but still be able to work full time in a job with benefits. 5 Link to comment
BitterApple July 2, 2022 Share July 2, 2022 The thing that concerns me with the Stewarts is yes, they're making tons of money off YouTube now, but will that be the case five years down the road? As noted above, their aces in the hole are births and medical drama. If Carlin's "episodes" are triggered by pregnancy, there may not be any more babies in the pipeline. Ditto for the medical stuff. You can only milk it for so long before it becomes redundant and viewers lose interest. Without that, they're just a peppier version of Webster4Eva. As for Evan, he sure doesn't seem eager to get back to work, does he? If the economy goes into the shitter, construction's the first thing to go. He might not want to be so cavalier about his "protected" status. 2 1 6 Link to comment

If they make enough to be able to afford Starbucks and Sonic multiple times each week, there’s no reason Carlin couldn’t call Uber if she needs to go somewhere. If she uses it to go to work, then it would be deductible as a business expense. It seems kinda obvious to me that, other than using it as a means to brag about how hard Evan worked to get trained, neither one of them actually cares whether he works as a real electrician; at least, not while the influencer money is flowing so freely.

GeeGolly July 3, 2022 Share July 3, 2022 Another thing Evan may not realize with FMLA is an employee is guaranteed their old position or a comparable one. If an employee is playing with the FMLA guidelines an employer can too, by offering a comparable position they know the employee doesn't want. As I said before, I do believe Carlin was having some health issues, but I also believe she (or they) exaggerated what was going on over time. Also, her test results have certainly been read by now. It anything urgent or alarming was found, she would have been contacted. 3 1 6 Link to comment

I so remember the days of juggling car seats - ugh what a pain in the ass. But making something easier isn't a reason to use FMLA. Or if one is being generous, use intermittent FMLA to accommodate Carlin's driving needs. Carlin can adjust her schedule too. Work part-time, work remotely or work weekends. Or, what a novel thought - Carlin can take a leave of absence from her job. I think her position is safe. 1 1 4 Link to comment

They found ways, because they had to work to support themselves and their families. Not to make constant Starbucks and Sonic runs.

GeeGolly July 4, 2022 Share July 4, 2022 So the vacationers all stopped at Janie's on their way home from the beach. The internet has changed the world in so many ways and a couple of those ways is making money influencing and YouTubing. I'm not sure if I would have been wise enough in my 20s to know I was using/exploiting my kids to make a buck and I do see influencing and YouTubing as legit jobs. Even many online old school magazines have changed their advertising schtick from straight up advertising to a more 'subtle' influencing. They might do an article on reno dos and don'ts followed by links and pics of products. Countless articles (if they can be called that) start out with the small print sentence of, Good Housekeeping may receive payment if any of our readers follow any links provided. Like @Cinnabon mentioned I was raised on commercial and print ads that were obvious advertisements. So my rambling post leads to this question - are influencers and YouTubers supposed to pretend they're not selling anything? Is part of the job hiding or glossing over the fact that their online presence is to sell you shit? Like is it supposed to be look at us, an ordinary family just living our lives and let me share with you all the freebies I get products I use to get through the day? I ask this because I think the Stewarts (and many others) main income is from schilling, but I feel like they're trying to hide this fact. 5 Link to comment
Jeanne222 July 4, 2022 Share July 4, 2022 Most of us that post and watch YouTube channels are well aware those with channels do it for the money. There are even many YouTube videos showing us how income is garnered. Owners of channels usually just post their content and hope for subscribers. The more subscribers that watch the more money they receive. A big part of being watched by many is the title. That plus word of mouth and discussion groups like ours draws in new lookers. I have a few channels I watch every day with content that interests me. I understand there is quite a bit to editing content for a maybe half hour show. Maybe 2-3 hours. I am happy to subscribe to them it costs me nothing and helps them out. Some of the channels sell memberships to private groups they sponsor and for $4.99 a month you can get inside information on private videos and family. That I feel is extremely invasive but the more $4.99 per month subscribers the more money rolls in. So yes I think most of us know how it works. It can be a part time or full time job for many just getting their content and subscribers. 9 Link to comment

BitterApple July 7, 2022 Share July 7, 2022 Does anyone else feel like nothing with this lot makes any sense? I mean, how good can the BSB be doing if they're having cash-and-carry sales every month to dump unsold inventory? Yet here we are: Evan takes FMLA, the entire family constantly travels despite sky-high gas prices, Zach quits the force, and he and Whitney buy pricey appliances (among other things). I know they earn money through influencing, but you'd swear these people have no bills. What sort of financial wizardry do they practice that the rest of us haven't caught on to? 4 1 9 Link to comment

They have big houses, drive fancy cars and dress and decorate to the nines. Raising children is expensive and most have several. I’m thinking there couldn’t be a bunch of money from the ‘good times’ when the show was still on. Too many kids to share Mom and dad were piss poor. I remember the Duggers pulling in one Summer to build on and enlarge the Bates home. I’m pretty sure the money came quick and plenty when the show started. 2 3 Link to comment
