“I remember a long time ago she posted a video in their old house where there were like 10 dirty diapers piled onto her dresser, or something. People were pretty disgusted by that.”
“There’s an old house tour where they show their clogged toilet including the excrement inside.”
“She just has a very monotone, bland persona and this carries over to her parenting. She doesn’t seem like she enjoys her kids. No wrapped presents . Just a plain, boring Amazon box. Would it kill her to try to add joy to her kids birthdays.”
“For me it’s less about her lazy parenting and her general lack of hygiene in her home which I have no doubt is based off of how she grew up.”
