Re: Colleen
I haven’t seen “Waitress” but I thought the character in the musical gets pregnant. So maybe it’s the belly she’s going to wear on Broadway? Just a guess. I could be totally wrong.SlippyClark wrote: ↑Mon Jul 29, 2019 2:00 pmLooks like she is doing some type of pregnancy challenge? Maybe being pregnant for 24 hours? You can see a preview on her instastory....my question is...if it was so traumatizing, why are you making a challenge out of it?

What's up with feeding him in a bumbo seat anyway? That's the prime age for making huge messes. I wouldn't even dare. It doesn't really matter but they can't actually be surprised that an infant is spilling stuff when they "walk away for a few seconds". I wouldn't have trusted my baby with a pouch at 7 months. In other news, I'm almost at my limit with Colleen. She has been annoying me more than usual all week long.

also why is he sitting in the seat on the counter?? why is he being left “for a second” unattended in a bumbo seat ON THE COUNTER??Kristenberry wrote:What's up with feeding him in a bumbo seat anyway?

I'm not familiar with baby gear nowadays. Why is it unsafe for him to eat in that?

the bumbo seat doesn’t seat the baby in the proper position for safe eating. i can see why people may think it’s ok but an actual high chair is much better for their form.pious wrote:I'm not familiar with baby gear nowadays. Why is it unsafe for him to eat in that?

Re: Colleen "Yaaay I'm not pregnant anymore" Mommager Part 6
I agree, hoping she didn’t mean it in a serious type of way, but just from the few videos I’ve seen of hers since she’s had him she mentions how “chubby” he is quite a lot. Like yes, he’s chubby, he’s a baby and is perfectly fine the way he is!!WanderlustX3 wrote:Came here to say something about this, I just got around to watching it and wtf. I want to believe she didn't mean it in any certain type of way but its so messed up regardless, especially with how obsessed she is with her own weight. Baby's aren't supposed to be thin Colleen!Nikkixkitty wrote: ↑Mon Jul 29, 2019 2:34 amI never watch her regularly or anything but I saw about 1 min of her “baby toy haul” that she just posted on her vlog channel and she mentioned that Flynn has been “losing weight” since using his jumper 30 mins a day & his legs are looking skinner. WTF?!!??! HES A BABY!!! He doesn’t need to “lose weight” omfg what is she on....
And he probably hasn't actually lost weight (unless she's constantly weighing her child, which would be sick) he probably just went through a growth spurt so his legs look a little smaller. Still gross for her to comment on it, but obviously kids "thin out" as they grow.

To be honest I only watch her vlogs for her baby. I skip through parts of her rambling because I couldn't care less, but her baby is so cute

Re: Colleen "Yaaay I'm not pregnant anymore" Mommager Part 6
Is anyone else annoyed by her constantly saying she’s moving to NYC.
You’re not moving...you’re not selling your house or bringing all your belongings. You’re staying in New York for 2 months and then coming back to your home. I’m sure she’s staying in a place that’s already furnished and everything.
I think I’m just being petty bc I’ve moved cross country and she is trying to make what she’s doing sound a lot more difficult than it actually is.

Re: Colleen "Yaaay I'm not pregnant anymore" Mommager Part 6
I don't have a strong opinion about the bumbo seat but can't figure out why they would feed him in it. High chairs are the obvious choice. Flynn is still really young and will make a mess. I never understood the bumbo on the counter trend either. I guess I don't see what it's for. My son was just fine in his high chair. I wouldn't shame the average mom over any of this btw. Colleen just gets on my last nerve. I get a weird feeling that they walked away for more than a few seconds but I'll bite my tongue. It just seemed bizarre to feed a very young infant that is only just starting solids in a bumbo seat and not expect him to make a mess if you walk away for a "second".

Re: Colleen
I do somewhat compulsively pick at my skin and scalp too, it has slowly got worse and I really need to address it. Sorry you have the disorder!Dr Quandary wrote: ↑pious wrote: ↑She said she’s been going to therapy but it hasn’t helped.Smileykt89 wrote:theantiblair wrote: ↑ I hate how she always brings up the skin-picking and says it’s SO WEIRD AND GROSS and then in the same breath says that she’s only bringing it up so she can help those out there who are going through the same thing.
Your young viewers who are suffering with the same behavior do not benefit from you calling their serious condition “weird” and “gross”.
And I assume she’s not doing anything to address it? I can’t watch her anymore. But if she wants to benefit her viewers then she should show herself taking steps to fix the problems that are causing her to pick at her skin.
She did this same thing of “helping” people with feelings about stretch marks and loose skin by calling her own body gross and disgusting. She acts all woke but she’s just reinforcing negative feelings in people that have the same “gross” issues as her.
This is so true - this is exactly what has been angering me about he recently. A while ago she went on about how she was frustrated with herself because she couldn't love her own body during pregnancy, but she explained that she loves other bigger woman's bodies and 'everybody is beautiful'. But after the pregnancy she talked about how her body was RUINED thanks to stretch marks (which a lot of women have due to non-pregnancy related growing/puberty). She showed her fans that her pregnancy was miserable, she hated her larger body, she felt disgusting being larger, and that her post-pregnancy body is 'ruined'. That's such harmful language and I think it's more damaging than she may think.
A lot of people in her comments go on about how 'she is allowed to feel how she feels' and 'how about let her express her feelings' but they seem to forget she has a very large, primarily young, very impressionable audience who may consciously or unconsciously internalise the things she says. She is contributing to the problem, she is perpetuating this idea that women's bodies are 'destroyed' after child birth because they change shape/texture/size. I think she has some really deep and worrying body image issues that I really hope she works on in therapy.
In terms of the skin-picking, the way she is talking about it is saturated with self loathing and it is really unhelpful for those who also have the condition. As someone who is currently in therapy for OCD and has skin-picking disorder, it's actually really jarring to hear someone talk about it with such disgust.

Re: Colleen
Whoa... she's toxic! She really needs to get her bitchiness and domineering selfishness under control. Admittedly Josh was annoying but she's treating Erik in the same way. Erik seems lovely, and he's cute! He looks like he should be in The Strokes! Ugh he deserves better. She's so obnoxious. She really does have a very nasty personality.RegularToe wrote: ↑Fri Jul 26, 2019 11:41 amThere’s no way this will last beyond Flynn’s 5th birthday.

And I just don't believe she doesn't know who Jack Nicholson, Nicolas Cage, Al Pacino, Denzel Washington, Keanu Reeves and George Clooney are. It's clearly an irritating affectation. I'm the same age as her. There is no way she didn't grow up with movies like The Shining, Face/Off, The Godfather and The Matrix playing on TV. And ER. She knew it was Tom Cruise. Faux-hesitation... I never really watch movies either unless I'm on a plane or someone wants to go to the cinema with me. But I know these people!!!

Re: Colleen
I do wonder if her very religious upbringing has something to do with it. I have a friend who was homeschooled as a child for religious reasons like Colleen, and she never understands pop culture references that everyone else our age gets because she was sheltered from a lot of tv and movies until she went to college.melissah wrote: ↑Fri Aug 02, 2019 5:18 amWhoa... she's toxic!

So I think there’s probably some validity to her never having seen movies that “everyone” has seen, but I still think a ton of the video was her just playing it up and pretending. There’s no way she doesn’t know who Keanu Reeves is, her whole life is the internet and he’s a huge meme. Same with Nicholas Cage. And give me a break with her not knowing what the Avengers is and thinking it’s Star Wars. I hate superheroes and sci fi but a few months ago you couldn’t go on social media without seeing someone post about that movie!

Re: Colleen "Yaaay I'm not pregnant anymore" Mommager Part 6
This is an old one. I wonder if Erik got her shoes cause she is always barefoot or because she really is awful at shopping. In any case, what a "thoughtful" gift to someone that hates shoes!

Re: Colleen
I definitely think it's possible that some people are out of the loop but Colleen was milking it. Erik knew that which makes the video stupid and not entertaining. I was beyond irritated when she paused at Tom Cruise. It's as if even she knew she couldn't pull off pretending. She is so shady. I've never seen an Al Pacino movie and he wasn't my generation. He changes in appearance often and I still knew exactly who he was. She is supremely selfish and spoiled so it is possible that she doesn't care to know about things. As far as religion goes, the Ballingers don't seem very extreme about pop culture. Gwen supports this YouTube ridiculousness even when it's inappropriate. My more lax parents would never participate in or encourage that type of thing. Then again, Colleen likely pays the bills Such a circus....loltheantiblair wrote: ↑Fri Aug 02, 2019 7:21 amI do wonder if her very religious upbringing has something to do with it.

Re: Colleen "Yaaay I'm not pregnant anymore" Mommager Part 6
She’s started her weird gross loud burping and farting around Erik too. This bitch needs to realise not all men are like Joshua, not all guys are head over heels for her to excuse her nasty habits in the long term. Right now Erik is bearing it as they’re in the honeymoon stage & Colleen thinks it’s so qUiRkY to belch like an ill mannered spoiled 12year old redneck brat. I don’t see their relationship lasting past 5years.
