Absolom July 1, 2022 Share July 1, 2022 1 hour ago, 3 is enough said: I don’t know what level Allie is reading at but she is 7 and some of those books seem a bit young for her. Better than nothing I suppose but I feel for that girl. First they get a playhouse and slide that she is obviously much too big to enjoy, and now the books. I bet she would enjoy the American Girls books. It's hard to know. At 7 she could be reading anywhere from late kinder on up depending on when she began reading and how much instruction and practice she's had. American Girl books might be a bit beyond a 7 year old fundie. They're fourth grade level. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/19871-alyssa-and-john-lunch-with-lurch/page/23/#findComment-7530400
65mickey July 1, 2022 Share July 1, 2022 I live in a fairly small town north of Atlanta. All of the towns in the county have branch libraries. All of the libraries have activities for young children especially during the summer months. When my kids were small they couldn't wait until they got their own library cards. I wonder if they even go to a library. 1 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/19871-alyssa-and-john-lunch-with-lurch/page/23/#findComment-7530589

Tikichick July 1, 2022 Share July 1, 2022 19 hours ago, cereality said: How desperate are these hanger-oners to get in with the Bates?? So apparently they let the girls read secular books and Allie asked John to buy books as she'd read everything they have already. And lo and behold a box stuffed with books like Curious George, Bernstein Bears, Pinocchio, [and the requisite kid prayer book] showed up at Alyssa's door from some complete stranger . . . . I don't watch her boring videos but I imagine she put it out there that Allie wanted new books and some fan jumped to it. If those are new books, it's at least a few hundred dollars worth. So hopefully someone was instead cleaning out their attic. And BTW have Alyssa or John not heard of a library? I assume money is tight because John always says it's tight and now with gas/food prices up it's prob tighter; so I can see him not wanting to go to Barnes and Noble as a book for each of the older girls would still be at least $20 if they chose the cheapest book - and he's just not gonna spend that kind of money on girl children's non Godly interests. And Alyssa can't seem to grab a damn sponsorship with something useful like Amazon. Yet this magical place called the library would allow his girls to check out as many books as they wanted each week for free and on the plus side would give his dumbass wife someplace to go during the day. Maybe if she checked out a few books herself she might be able to develop an interesting persona and/or some compelling ideas for her videos? Maybe she might even meet some other moms, develop some interests. 1 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/19871-alyssa-and-john-lunch-with-lurch/page/23/#findComment-7531263

With regards to the dog, I wish they would back out and let Katie rehome it to a family better suited to owning a pet. I know the girls would be disappointed, but it's not like they already have the puppy in hand. John didn't want a dog to begin with, Alyssa has too much on her plate and there's no way Allie is big and strong enough to handle a full-grown doodle.
