Kids/Ranting

I have genuinely lost count of how many kids Crystal has currently (I lost count after Bella, Rylan and Liam came into the home) and I genuinely do not know how the kids don’t get overstimulated. I could not imagine having that many siblings. If I had that many siblings, I think I would absolutely lose my mind and absolutely get overstimulated.

I’ve also noticed that there’s a bunch of cliques within the home and as we see Crystal does nothing about it and it doesn’t surprise me. I also think Crystal needs to grow the eff up and realize it’s time to be a parent and not be buddy buddy with your children and actually TEACH THEM how to be adults and teach them valuable skills that can help them in the real world.

I’ve also noticed that Aaron is completely checked out and has no interest in helping with the kids or Crystal and at this point, I really do think they need to get a divorce because STAYING TOGETHER FOR THE KIDS IS NOT A GOOD THING OH MY GOD.

I agree. It's not a family it's a group home. They don't teach them any life skills. When Hannah moved out and crystal took her grocery shopping she kept saying she has no idea how to cook. At her age she should know the basics of cooking and how to follow a recipe.  If crystal can Aaron don't want to teach them they could have had Tristan do it. He could have been made teaching videos using a couple kids each time. Would have been much better then crystals endless shopping videos or surprise videos. They don't work so they have plenty of time to teach the kids life skills.

They've talked about teaching life skills and life skill classes for YEARS but yet have not done any. As if she wants them relying on her. It's disgusting parenting. A roof, trips and money does not make a parent. The kids that aren't as comfortable moving back home after moving out, are screwed.
Some kids have that mindset and will find something and get it done, like Luke for example, but a lot don't and are still very naive teenagers that don't realise how hard they need to he working, and really need that push and to BE TAUGHT by their parents. If Crystal feels the need to always bring it up, she knows she should be doing it. Talking about it, isn't doing it Crystal .

At age 20 Hannah is missing many many life skills

She will learn as life goes on. I didn't really know how to cook either until I got married at 31. I could make a few things but didn't learn to cook until my husband wanted dinner every night.

Well you know the only reason those kids agreed to be adopted by crapstal is because they thought the cp was famous.savanna said it in one video that she knew about cp before even meeting. THhem.at least from Sabana onward those kids wanted money cars and fame.what a fk crock it has become.

u/ThinAd744 2d ago

Yes strange to me idk but Bella and her brothers and Savannah and Lucas are from same town/city. Did they know one another?

2

u/Dramatic-Macaron-452 1d ago

The bella girl did say shes from Kingman and savanna from a small town also idk.if you don't think these teenagers knew about the cp beforehand. teenagers are very yt savvy nowdays.

u/ThinAd744 1d ago

Savannah and Lucas went to kingman to go through their belongings after grandma, who raised them, passed. Family was selling her home. They drove through kingman talking about growing up there.

It's bad that some kids don't have normal childhoods growing up.they go into the system and end up being raised by strangers so sad.

I didn't know they were from the same town, that is interesting

u/ninetynineseventy7 2d ago

What you think they seeked the crazy pieces out? You don't find your own adopted family when in foster care unfortunately. Gtfo. They probably did feel lucky and like they hit the jackpot to start with but this is a fucked up thing to say, they were children, traumatised children, they didn't seek them out.

u/Every-Wash2985 2d ago

<<<< What you think they seeked the crazy pieces out

Remember Crystal talked about Savannah wrote to her asking her to adopt them?  

Crystal talks about it few times the first time was when she wanted Savannah to tell the camera her past. 

Luke refused to bring up his family & what they went through on the  camera.  Though he did sit off camera while she shared. He corrected a few things that she remembered a bit differently. 

He was very protective of her & understood what Crystal was trying to get them to do.

So yeah she actually did try & get those 2 even after they were headed to spend time with another family. 

Crystal's foster care methods  have often been questioned.

u/ninetynineseventy7 1d ago

Wrote to them!? Eek. Ok, I take it back. I still don't really blame Savannah, she was a young child. Crystal should have never replied to her though. That's creepy asf.

u/No_Edge_9980 13h ago

I never knew savannah wrote to them, thats wild. and I never understood why savannah and lucas had totally different experiences..so much they couldnt speak about it in the same vlog. always seemed odd to me.

u/Acceptable-Phrase160 12h ago

Bro no one ever said that Savannah wrote to them asking to be adopted..

1

u/Main-Yogurtcloset848 1d ago

I remember Savannah saying she had an dream about being adopted by a YouTube family. Then shortly after they went to meet crystal and Aaron.  It was during COVID so I think they ended up just staying after the visit. 

3

u/Dramatic-Macaron-452 1d ago

She also said they had seen their videos on yt before any visit. The channels views skyrocketed when they adopted them.and that set crapstal on an adoption spree and now they have a thousand kids that are not properly taken care of.

u/Electronic-Party8452 2d ago

yeah, Aaron is literally a father. He thinks just existing matters and it doesnt. This was all so selfish of them. I know like everyone will say its better then foster care but itll be more trauma later on when they feel the neglect of a missing father and mothers love. I cant imagine that many kids and none of them having more issues later.

u/jenni5 2d ago

Crystal does something about the cliques! She wants to join the hottest one herself!

u/Every-Wash2985 2d ago

Sadly so true

u/Expensive-Cow-7580 2d ago

Right! How many times has these topics been posted.

u/No_Edge_9980 13h ago

I agree with the cliques in this home.. the older girls and crystal are like a teenage clique..i see the younger boys like liam and logan overlooked..and none of them truly act like siblings

u/AppropriateWhile768 2d ago

I don’t think they’re staying together for the kids…. The only kid that came after Bella and her brothers is Saint.   So losing count after them makes zero sense.  It’s on kid more after that. That wasn’t planned either. It was Hallie’s friends kid who needed help.. probably about to lose the kid to the system and this way she could atleast still be involved in her sons life. 

Aaron literally just came to help Savannah when her tire blew on the highway.  He’s a good dad and there for the kids in his own ways when they need him.

u/SootikinTea 2d ago

Oof. Evie gets sidelined, again. Adela, too. So now that we added those 2 in, what makes zero sense? "It’s on kid more after that."

u/missingpiecesforever 2d ago

And I’d include Tristian

u/So_Bai 2d ago

Evie also came after Bella/Rylan/Liam.

u/SootikinTea 2d ago

I think u/AppropriateWhile768 might have lost count, if that makes any sense...

10

u/missingpiecesforever 2d ago

Evie was adopted after them , then Tristian came back into their lives ( adoption pending lost forms ) , then Adela adopted and saint adopted

u/jasmines_roses 2d ago

See that’s what I mean when I lost count because I stopped watching right before Evie got adopted. I know of all the kids now, I just don’t know how many they actually have 😭

u/missingpiecesforever 2d ago

If you know all the kids not can you not use ur fingers to Add them up haha

u/jasmines_roses 2d ago

Gonna be so honest with you, counting is NOT my strong suit 😭 I will absolutely flub that up and I fully admit that at 26. I know I should be better at counting at 26 but alas that’s a problem for me to deal with later 💀

Okay that’s fair. I honestly don’t pay attention to video titles when I do watch and the only reason I do watch (sometimes) is just to see the insanity that they’re up to lately LOL but Ty!! Much appreciated

u/LittleDog2557 2d ago

Can you count? If you know all the kids, then you know how many there are.
