AgathaC March 26 Share March 26 (edited) 4 hours ago, Heathen said: The problem wasn't with Rhett's half-ass birthday party. The problem was that his sisters got cheated, again. If John and Ofjohn can't afford a decent party for each girl, they don't need to spend money on a first birthday party for a kid who won't even remember it. The girls, at least the three older ones, WILL remember. Exactly. It’s a symptom of a larger problem. If there weren’t other examples of Rhett being favored over his sisters, I wouldn’t think it was such a big deal. Reminds me of Tsar Nicholas II’s family — four girls before the much-desired prince (literal, in that case). The girls were loved, but came to think of themselves as a unit. Of course, in that particular situation, failure to produce a son would have meant the end of the dynasty and a loss of fragile national stability — all of which happened anyway, but still. The obsession over having a boy made some sense. 4 hours ago, Heathen said: 4 hours ago, Heathen said: Edited March 26 by AgathaC 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/19871-alyssa-and-john-lunch-with-lurch/page/41/#findComment-8324681

Fruit, chicken nuggets and pizza should be sufficient. But they could go easy on the candy. All of thre girls have had individual parties. I remember Allie's first birthday party was a big deal.

I work with 14-year-olds who are glued to their phones and one of the highlights of the year is making ooblek slime with cornstarch and water. Most of the traditional party games that have disappeared are more to do with people realizing that they were wildly unsafe (lawn darts anyone) than kids getting too sophisticated. That being said, if the girls' friends and cousins were all having pricy parties at arcades or indoor play spaces then cake and pin-the-tale on the donkey might not fly, but I don't get that impression from what I've read. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/19871-alyssa-and-john-lunch-with-lurch/page/41/#findComment-8324933

Any sort of planned activity would suffice, though. There are plenty of things kids can do in a group. Decorate cheap picture frames with glitter and paints for their photos, put one of Daddy's old tee shirts on over their dresses and let them play with some cheap makeup, everyone colors a special picture for the birthday girls, buy some plain shortbread cookies and let the kids decorate them. It's the lack of hands-on participation in the festivities that bugs me.

3 is enough April 2 Share April 2 Oh Alyssa. I had a girl then two boys. Of course we noticed the differences in reaching milestones, and quirky behaviors, but I can honestly say I never thought “boys do things differently”. I just compared them as individuals and if anything figured into the comparisons it was birth order. The boys walked earlier than their sister and I simply thought that younger siblings want to catch up. There was one thing that would have made Alyssa’s head explode. When #2 was born we gave our daughter a baby doll. She loved it and used to pull up her shirt to feed her baby. Her little brother eventually got a Cabbage Patch doll which he loved. He called him “Patty Cake” and took him everywhere. When #3 was born he started to pull up his shirt to feed him. Can you imagine if Rhett did that?

When I was a kid, I got very excited to have one-on-one time with my dad. But I didn’t dress up. There were no flowers. We just went and ran errands or went to a movie or whatever.

He’s a very manly, muscle-y macho type guy who has four daughters and loves it. He got fed up with people making thoughtless comments in front of his girls and did a video talking about how awesome daughters are and how hurtful comments can be.

A daddy daughter birthday outing could actually be a nice tradition if they didn't make it so gross as in - I'm training you how to act on a date bc let's be real, clock is ticking, your intended will be here in 7 yrs just as I showed up for your mom and you better behave right and seal that deal and get off my payroll. And heaven forbid John pay attention to or spend time with his girls when it isn't their bday + he isn't training them on locking down a man. I mean if he legit cared, he could do something with each girl for their birthday that they wanted to do. Sure maybe there are 1-2 who are girly girls who'd want to dress up and go out to dinner. But Lexi - likely she'd choose to go to the batting cages or a basketball game or something like that with dad. Maybe some kid would choose a movie or bowling or ice cream sundaes or whatever. Alyssa has taken this to next level creepy. IDK if Gil had a standing tradition of taking the girls out for their bday, but once teenage Alyssa for her birthday asked to go hunting with her dad and he took her!? So IDK where this suited up going on a date thing came from. The creepiest "date" hands down was in spring 2020 - I think it was Allie. It was when the world was totally shut down for Covid so there was no place for them to go. But couldn't just go do an outdoor activity with dad, nope. John suited up, Allie in a fluffy dress, Allie wanting to put on some tacky plastic bracelet or whatever as Alyssa talked her out of it bc omg it doesn't match, you need to wear this other tacky bracelet. Alyssa "decorated" the back of the SUV so John and Allie could go get McDonalds drive thru, park in a random office park parking lot, and sit in the back and have their date. It gave the grossest make out spot vibes I've ever seen . . . . Like I legit don't think Alyssa realizes that teens will park cars in random isolated lots to get it on when they have no other place to do the deed without getting caught. And then Allie wanted to play so you had her playing hide and seek around the office park lot, with John chasing her in a suit and dress shoes. Again giving stranger danger type of vibes . . . .

Yep this is the stuff normal dads do with their daughters. I def have a friend whose activity with dad when she came home from breaks in medical school totally stressed out was James Bond movie marathons. Just this week a guy at my work took his high school age daughter to Texas (from the east coast) to see the eclipse - bc he + this daughter are into space/astronomy/nature - while mom and the other daughter aren't. Besides fundies IDK anyone training their daughters on courting and being a wife and mommy. And even with that Alyssa is taking that way too far. Her own father did not get suited up to take each daughter on a birthday date starting at age 5. The times we've seen enjoying with his girls alone were things like taking Alyssa hunting and taking Tori to some playground as they reminisced right before her wedding. But really this is just how John and Alyssa see girls. We HAVE to raise them to get them married off so we'll begrudgingly raise them and the way to raise them is give them wife + mommy skills = church + taking care of a baby + cooking + laundry. We know all the girls go to church. It appears Allie is already having to mother Rhett; we've def seen Alyssa barking at Allie regarding laundry; and we've seen Alyssa go on about oh Allie WANTS to make her sisters lunch . . . . So I imagine cooking dinners is coming pretty soon for Allie too, as Alyssa seems to hate it/do very little of it and is probably counting the days until she can pawn that off on Allie and Lexie. IIRC Michael started cooking for the family around this age so I'm pretty sure it's right around the corner for Allie too. 1 8 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/19871-alyssa-and-john-lunch-with-lurch/page/41/#findComment-8340348

The next slide is a picture of her wearing it with the caption, "It's growing on me." IMO, that's pretty dang rude because it implies she didn't like the gift to begin with. I'm sure that'll make her 'friend' feel real good! Does Costco sell boxed wine? Because if so, Alyssa needs to stock up by the pallet. She's becoming more and more lifeless with every Instagram post. 2 3 1 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/19871-alyssa-and-john-lunch-with-lurch/page/41/#findComment-8346052

cereality April 19 Share April 19 She's such a rude bitch I really don't understand why anyone sends her anything. I mean she straight up said she wasn't a fan of the bag but it's growing on her?! WTH?! Hope that "best friend" drops her just like Tikky did. Wonder if having John at home 24-7 is making her even more resentful. You know these fundie women don't understand the concept of a job. She might've thought that John working from home = John being like Chad or Evan, always around, always dealing with kids etc. John OTOH hates the kids as much as her + has a job + has an excuse due to job, so I imagine he plays it as - sorry this door is getting shut at 9 am, not opening again until noon, and then not again until 5, good luck to you with the 5 kids. And unlike normal people it's not like they are willing to send their kids to school - which would then give Alyssa 6 hrs/day with one or maybe 2 kids at home. Nope instead gotta go wandering through Costco in a pack of a half dozen . . . . 7 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/19871-alyssa-and-john-lunch-with-lurch/page/41/#findComment-8346104

I have heard micro dosing does wonders. Or how about some birth control? Either way, Alyssa doesn't seem keen on her life choices. 3 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/19871-alyssa-and-john-lunch-with-lurch/page/41/#findComment-8346212

BitterApple April 27 Share April 27 I just got done watching Alyssa's latest video. She's clearly reading the comments about never taking the girls anywhere. They went on a park playdate to meet friends. The girls were so over the top with excitement, you'd swear they got paroled early from San Quentin. Alyssa and John are going away on their anniversary trip. She's keeping the location secret to make her audience watch the next video, but she mentions they'll be hiking and it's supposed to be rainy every day. I'm thinking Pacific Northwest? She explains the kids will be split up because it's hard to find one person who can watch all five at once. Allie and Lexi had their bags packed a week in advance, and all four girls (even Maci) are chomping at the bit by the front door, anxious to leave. Apparently they can't wait to get away from their parents as much as their parents can't wait to get away from them! Alyssa tries to explain it away by saying the girls like staying at other peoples' houses because "their dreams come true" i.e., they get whatever they want. I wonder if they like it because they actually get attention and treated like individuals rather than background characters in The World Of Rhett. There's an agonizingly long scene of Alyssa and John packing and droning on about nothing, then mercifully the video ends. We'll have to wait until next week to see which amazing location John and Alyssa manage to make look boring! 7 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/19871-alyssa-and-john-lunch-with-lurch/page/41/#findComment-8352889

Lisa418722 April 27 Share April 27 (edited) I'm sure the girls like staying at other people's houses. They aren't expected to be a sister-mom taking care of their little brother. Is Rhett going to the same place as Allie so she can take care of him? I hope Allie has some time to be a kid. I hope all the girls have time to be a kid and get to do something they want to do. With all the pregnancies in the family right now, I wouldn't be shocked if Rhett has a younger brother (or sister) by this time next year. I hope for the older girls' sake, Rhett is the last one. Alyssa and John do not seem like parents of the year and they need to do something to prevent another "oops" from happening.
