Most LDS influencers are like that, really reckless with their kids.

+1. The latest IG had a bunch of kids including a toddler jumping on a trampoline with no net in the middle of a field. With a cow in close proximity.

Turtle Creek Lane is another LDS example. Tiffany & Adam and Kimmy & Steve Junior.

The Times ran a piece on her https://www.thetimes.com/magazines/the-sunday-times-magazine/article/meet-the-queen-of-the-trad-wives-and-her-eight-children-plfr50cgk

Y'all need to get out more. Lotta kids all over this country have a trampoline with no net. And, a cow - what's it gonna do nibble them? Cows aren't dangerous in the slightest. Unless it's a bull, but those kids know that.

Maybe her hands are tied, after all she's a married Mormon woman-not exactly the most egalitarian minded people in the country. None of this changes a certain reality: This is an act she's putting and expecting that everyone will just eat it up.

What we have in front of us is a family wealthier than 99% of people in this country, that can afford to cosplay as hardscrabble farmers which they most definitely are NOT.

She's running a content empire with a retail section (fine by me) but cloaking it under the veil of 'trad wife'. Her hypocrisy and, or ignorance, has her blinded to the fact that she's a working woman who's monetizing a romanticized version of the 'trad wife' lifestyle. As such , she's no longer a trad wife. She's a working woman. And she knows it, too.

Mysteriously absent for hours and hours on end.

Being looked after by the servants.

Good. They're probably better adjusted and less anxious/stressed than most kids.

+1. They're all like this. No car seats. Infant on a jet ski with no life vest. The examples are endless.

Some of the foods they make do seem kind of amazing and I’d love to eat them.

But it’s all smoke and mirrors. Kind of how Marie Antoinette had a farm and liked to go play house there.

Somewhere I saw the house described as one giant splinter and it made me lol. So true.

I don't know, I think she's just crazy enough that she does actually live in that bare farmhouse. But who knows. I've noticed that even though her sister lives in a mansion she also has it barely decorated with nothing on the walls and no furniture. I think it must just be easier with that many kids to have nothing around. I do wonder about her closet though, her bedroom is very bare and doesn't have much in it but she's constantly wearing new clothes so I'm guessing she has a closet/dressing room on another property on the farm.

I find it weirdly interesting. Do you think she’s secretly miserable? Incredibly happy? Smug and self satisfied? Do you think she wanted that many children or is just doing it because it’s what’s expected of her? They have oodles of money but live in a very bare farmhouse. Is it just for the aesthetic or are they actually committed to the lifestyle?

That's their studio house. Just for photoshoots and filming. They actually live in a modern, luxury mansion.

Is that actually true? I don’t think so.

Pioneer woman built a house for filming too.

Yes, but she was always up front about that. She called it The Lodge and it was clear if you watch a few episodes that it’s a separate building on their property.

The Ballerina Farm family, if they don’t in fact live where they shoot their content, is lying.

It's entertainment, not a journalistic documentary.

Do you think Carrie Bradshaw could really afford her apartment, clothes and shoes on her salary? Think of balerina farm as a short-format sitcom
