OP here - sorry yes double standards on the 'cute'. She is pretty but not having dry infant formula just in case of an emergency is pretty egregious. Also I get that her husband is away but she doesn't have ANY family of her own? How old is her husband? |
A lot of what she does is pretty egregious. This formula thing is a drop in the bucket for her. Neighbors have returned her kids to her after she has lost them and they have found her two year olds playing down by a rushing river in diapers in 5 degree weather and snow. She's honestly a terrible mother by all accounts. She has some family but was one of 11 kids and came from a pretty dysfunctional background by what she has shared. Everyone seems to be pretty, "this is the way it is, you'll get through it" with little actual support. Her husband is mid 40s, about 11 years or so older than her. He wants her to be fun and adventurous and sexy, and is not into anything that gets in the way of that, like real parenting, so he is pretty worthless. I think he has a foot out the door. He refuses to get snipped but was very pissed off she was pregnant with this latest addition. Hence, partying in Vegas and leaving her with the kids. They're an absolute trainwreck. |
And I don't ever remember a single episode which mentioned religion, going to church, or even any religious holidays (unless you count A Very Brady Christmas which was made about 15 years after the series ended). Interestingly, Mike Brady was a widower, but Carol's background was never actually revealed. Supposedly she was divorced, but that would have been taboo for television at the time. In any event, their situation seems very UNLIKE most of the discussion in this thread. |
Wow she sounds awful. She’s clearly just popping out babies #forthegram. And totally agree that a mother of color could never get away with calling 911 for baby formula as some “cute anecdote” about police helping out. |
Woman was so desperate to have a SIXTH child she went to the Phillipines, tried to smuggle a 5-day old baby onto a plane in a sling, and got arrested on human trafficking charges.
I don't understand what she was thinking. It's not like she didn't already have five children. WTF? Human trafficking in the Phillipines comes with a sentence of LIFE IN PRISON. ![]() ![]() ![]() https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/u-s-woman-who-hid-baby-arrested-philippines-kidnapping-n1138476 |
I’m theOP of that thread. Yes, we’re not immune. Don’t think my dad had many kids with the intention of sharing around the burden of eldercare —he always assumed it would be one daughter or maybe a DIL. |
Her kids names are Hudson , Holland , Briton , Brooklyn , baby London ![]() |
She wants another to name it Paris, boy or girl. |
