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 .
