Carlin and Evan: But Mostly Carlin!

IF she had a falling out with sisters Tori and Erin could that be weighing on her?  She and Tori were very close growing up and if there has been a change in that relationship, that could be difficult for her.   

I think the feud definitely weighs on Carlin. I don't know what went down with that Boutique but it was bad enough that Carlin and Erin are still having nothing to do with each other a year later. Tori appears to have sided with Erin, and I think Josie did as well. It's a shame really, because flimsy AliExpress dresses should never come between sisters.

Didn't Carlin have COVID twice?  There are lots of articles about neurological issues after COVID.  She definitely should be working on a healthier lifestyle.  It can't hurt her and it might help make her body more resilient so she could handle the stress better.

Yes, the Stewarts did have covid twice - early on in the pandemic and then, IIRC, last Christmas. If she is having health issues, it certainly could be symptoms of long covid, although from what I have read, developing a seizure disorder is atypical. 

I'm guessing hydration, sleep, stress and photosensitivity have been discussed with Carlin and Evan at length as these can be triggers for someone with a seizure disorder.

But would they listen? Nope. (Almost all my seizures were triggered by sleep, the lack thereof, not eating, or photosensitivity. No video games for me ever.)

Interesting.  Just yesterday I read two that said a new seizure disorder was among the issues along with a tendency to stroke.  I think the brain fog might be the most common though.  I guess we'll be reading about the effects of COVID for years to come.

Oh no doubt, they likely haven't listened to much the MDs have been saying. I'm just pointing out that these things have likely been discussed with them.

[Peanut6711]

These two are so grating and entitled, not to mention in need of a huge dose of reality. Many doctor offices will make you reschedule if you are late, and  rightfully so. I generally schedule my appointments for first thing in the morning to avoid people like Carlin who are late and expect to still be seen and then throw off the schedule for the patients who arrived on time.  It would be one thing if they had to travel out of town for a specialist appointment and got in a major traffic tie-up, called ahead to inform the staff they were stuck on the highway, and got the okay to be worked in when they got there, but mistaking the time and strolling in with coffee in hand should definitely have resulted in a rescheduled appointment. 

I also find it hard to believe they didn’t get a reminder call/text/email with the time. Most all practices send out at least one, and my kids’ pediatrician's system sends out 3 reminders for well child check-ups—2 weeks before, 1 week before, and 2 days before.

I also agree that it’s pretty clear that Evan isn’t interested in going back to work or being an electrician. But then he should have gone to school for something else—something that would have allowed him to work from home and/or have a more flexible work schedule.

I don't think it has ever been publicly acknowledged that there was a dispute, let alone anyone discovering the cause.  Speculation is that it involved the clothing store and may have had to do with some of the sisters not being happy with the less-than-modest clothing that is now being offered.  This is supposedly why Erin is no longer part of the business. 

I don't think Gil gives a good godda** what any of his adult daughters do now that the show has ended and he isn't getting paid to care.  They are also adults and its really not his place anyway.

As husbands are head ships of their families I was thinking Gil would take headship of his large, expanded family and try to make things right among his daughters. 

Especially since one maybe having Seizures over stress. 

Usually father’s of daughters are used to mediation!

Gil and Kelly Bates checked out a long time ago. Further, the daughters are married and thus are under their husbands' headships, per their stupid fertility cult. Gil gave up any headship over them when they got married.

The feud between sisters is only rumored, but it is obvious that something happened.  Erin left the boutique and Tori and Carlin are never together in social media.  (When they use to be so close.)  When Erin and Whitney were pregnant with Holland and Everly, they were joined at the hip and the couples seemed close. Carling too.  I haven't seen Whitney, Erin and Carlin together in a long, long time, even when they have gathered for family events/weddings.  Nothing.  Erin and Tori seem to be close.  I often feel that Whitney and Carlin are rubbing salt in open wounds when they go on and on about being best friends and owning a business with their best friend.  I'm glad they are close, but to put something like that on social media all the time, IMO, is weird.  Especially when they have so many sisters (and SIL's) living so close by.  Erin has said the same thing about Tori though too.  

I would also think that Gil would try to get the sisters to forgive and reconnect, and maybe he has tried.  It is unusual for him to let something like that come into his family.  But as someone said upthread, they are no longer under his umbrella of protection.  

Evan didn't know how his life would be when he started his schooling.  I'm sure he was inspired by Kelton and his business and maybe wanted to have an education in something that would complement Kelton's business and they could work alongside one another.  He and Carlin didn't know the show would be canceled.  They didn't know Carlin would have such a big social media presence.  He didn't know that being a mom would stress Carlin out so much.  Now that these things have played out, perhaps he feels he needs to give their social media business a chance.  I guess he can always fall back on that electrician "stuff" when it frizzles.  

I also think doctors have told the couple what could trigger a seizure.  Carlin has been seen wearing sunglasses and noise canceling headphones to help the light sensitivity and over stimulation.  What would be even better is if she would stay away from those types of situations for now. But she seems to be go, go go.

You may be thinking of the party Evan's family threw when he finished trade school. I think he graduated and went on FMLA the same week.

Yup his birthday is tomorrow……

 

. Their first stop was to look at Teslas.

Edited August 23, 2022 by ginger90

[cereality]

Can someone explain Evan's constant begging for a Tesla? Do they think their leghumpers will pitch in and buy them one? Do they think Tesla is going to give them a sponsorship? You're unemployed and plugging together a living on social media + your wife's dress shop bro and oh yeah you have 2 kids and a mortgage. Maybe set your sights on something where the cheapest model isn't 48k?? And even a used Tesla [since even the oldest ones on the market aren't super old] is going to be 35k.

But per Reddit he went on in some YT video 2 wks ago about wanting a Tesla [as Carlin was quick to say - you have to pay my medical bills - THAT's what they want leghumpers to chip in on]. Then the other day Carlin was going on about how maybe she'd rent him a Tesla for his bday but he was like no that'd be such a tease. And tonight, yep they're at a Tesla dealership. Not just driving thru the lot but inside the dealership sitting in the cars, and probably picking up the rental. And yep there's Carlin walking around holding Layla. Layla walks, why does Carlin pick her up in public spaces given her condition??

And yeah so Zade had a cold and breathing treatment like 2 trips to Nashville ago - so like 3-4 wks ago and STILL hasn't kicked that cold and now needed a breathing treatment again?? At least now they bought a pediatric sized mask, in no doubt due to all the criticism they got on Reddit last time for using a nasty used adult sized mask. But yeah if it's been a month and your 4 month old hasn't kicked a cold, maybe look into it further and actually try to show up on time to that drs. appt. God forbid their kids ever need anything, they are such self absorbed morons.

When I watched the video of them taking the Tesla Ubers in Vegas I wondered how long before they assumed even more debt by at least leasing one. FWIW, Katie rented one for Travis’s birthday, maybe Carlin wanted to rent one as a birthday gift.

My kids have been relatively healthy, but when they get sick they go NICU and ICU sick. I haven’t dealt much with colds, and SGirl is fifteen. I do however pick up any bug within a ten mile radius. I’ve never needed a breathing treatment for a cold, but have had my share for asthma. And that is my husband basically dragging me as I wheeze away while insisting I’m just fine. Are colds treated with breathing treatments? I lack normal experiences.

Katie rented a Tesla for "Trav's". I guess this is the in thing now.

 I wonder if Zade has asthma. But my daughter and granddaughter have been dealing with a nasty upper respiratory infection for a week now. The cough sounds like a death rattle but the doctor says it is a viral infection that a lot of kids are getting with the start of the school year. He could have picked something up at church or from one of his cousins while partying.

[GeeGolly]

First on my list when I had a sick kid was to drag them around town. Yup, lets expose them to more germs while their immunity is weakened and lets see how many other folks my kid can get sick. Such fun times. 🤦🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️🙅🏽‍♀️

Not a big deal when you yourself don't have to worry about missing work because you're sick. Because you don't work.

More directly related to the topic: I wonder if Zade has covid. 

[Jeanne222]

Carlin just puzzles the heck out of me.  First picture lying in bed looking dead.  Next picture out partying with her entire family including the one previously getting a breathing treatment!

Did I miss anything?

Is anybody keeping count if subscribers are going up in number?

We first heard of Carlin's health issues when the Stewarts were traveling to Lawson's wedding which was on May 12th. Evan hasn't worked since a day or two before then, but I assume those were scheduled days off. I'm guessing he was due back at work May 16th. May 16th was 14 weeks ago. Back dating FMLA to the last scheduled day to work is the norm. But anyway you look at it, we're well past 12 weeks.

Good to see Evan using his five years of training to do useless shit like place a light strip under their bed (IG story). 🤦🏽‍♀️🙄

I noticed C&E spend a lot of time in their bedroom, or at least a lot of their posts, prior to moving and even more so now, take place in the bedroom. In my little world that's not typical. Families around here spend time in the main living area - mostly the kitchen and living room. Maybe movie nights or Sunday morning cartoons in the parents' bedroom if there's a TV, by hardly a place to hang out as a family on a regular basis.

Is this a regional thing, or even a thing at all?

I noticed that too. Maybe they don't want to mess up their ridiculously overpriced and inappropriate-for-their-family couch. Comforters are easier to wash (although they're apparently slobs so I wouldn't expect them to do that).

Maybe it’s just me, but that pic of Carlin and the kids in bed gives me anxiety. It may well have been staged and I know Evan was right there to take the picture, but Zade is up against her back. When my dad was in his pediatric rotation for med school, he had one week where he had to tell three sets of parents their babies were dead. Why? Because the parents had the baby in bed, rolled over and smothered them in their sleep. You may think you’d wake up, but, no, you’d be surprised what you can sleep through, especially if sleep-deprived, as most parents of infants are. It settled him on not being a pediatrician and led him to drum into all of us: no babies or small kids in the bed with adults.

I suspect the baby actually has a touch of asthma which is why he is wheezing weeks after getting a cold.  However, they are apparently too busy 'partying' and posting nonsense on line as well as showing up late for Carlin's medical appointments to actually take proper care of their infant.

Amongst other things, a sick baby needs a calm environment, a regular eating and sleeping routine and avoidance of other people and places where he might pick up a new germ.  However, that doesn't fit with their lives, so the poor kid is just going to have to deal, at least until he's sick enough to be taken to the ER, at which time, they'll be able to get some new footage for the 'gram and post lots of pictures of 'worried' Carlin, face full of makeup, hair carefully done, showing off her latest pedicure.

That concerned me as well. Zade was sandwiched between Carlin and Layla. Obviously nothing bad happened, but C&E's level of carelessness makes me wonder how often they make these less than smart decisions.

It wasn't just you...although I assumed it was staged since Carlin has quite a bit of jewelry on and her hair at least partially up.

I guess she cannot see the disconnect between posting more than once about being in bed all the time, can't function, but then when it's Evan's birthday she's fine. All done up, and let's par-tay!

Amen for the need of a schedule, a routine. SGirl at 15 does have a sleep schedule and if she deviates much from it she drags the next day and her mood is shot. It just makes life easier.

A few months after arriving home she would gravitate towards the front door right around the time SBaba came home for lunch, and in the afternoons. 
 

When we arrived home there were some serious fires in our area. We kept her indoors most of the time because the air quality was awful. Layla and Zade are supposed to be blessings. Why can’t their parents treat them likewise?

I assumed it was staged, too. But it really made me think these two probably would just plop the babies (Layla’s tiny enough it’s probably dangerous for her too) in bed with them without a second thought.

Maybe something to have on in the night for late night bathroom trips? You don’t want to turn on a lamp and wake your partner but hate ramming your knee into the footboard? Other than that, I got nothing. I agree, it looks ridiculous. My first thought was that it looked like the gateway to a demon dimension was opening under their bed.
