Karli had something to film in LA and didn’t go because she was sick? I must have missed that. I don’t know how sick she was but sometimes you can’t help that. I haven’t seen it so I’m not sure what the circumstances were.youtube_obsessed843 wrote:I agree that Candi addressed the gossip and hate in a discussion based way instead of attacking people or being unreasonable about people's thoughts. My issue with the assumptions/addressing hate video is that she refuses to hold herself accountable for things. I believe Candi is a good mother, I really do. All of the kids attend school, participate in extracurriculars and seem to be generally well rounded. But there are discrepancies in what she says/claims vs what actually happens in the videos and it displays poor parenting skills.
By bringing up Chase's weight and other struggles regarding wrestling, she is sending an overarching message that it is okay to encourage your kid to lose weight to a degree that may not be mentally or physically healthy. Yes, this is what's required of him. Yes, he's 17.That doesn't mean you're at the age to make meaningful and generally healthy/correct decisions about your body and what it needs. It would be one thing if he were training for the next Olympic games, or even relying on wrestling to help him receive a full college scholarship, but neither of those are what is going on here.
By allowing Karli to talk back to her or be moody, ON CAMERA, sends an overarching message that behavior and attitude don't matter. Or, when you act like a brat you still get whatever you want. There have been multiple times where this occurred at the mall and Candi just continued as if nothing happened while Karli still got whatever she wanted.
This wasn't addressed in the video, but by allowing Karli to miss (one of the very few) work obligations she got the rare opportunity to do sends the overarching message that it's perfectly fine to miss work engagements where you were specifically chosen for a certain reason and people are counting on you. Last year Karli had a project to film for in LA and didn't go because she was too sick.
Showing all of these personal details about her family is sending an overarching message to the public that she/the family is up for discussion. She chooses to film these clips, edit them, and include them in the videos. These assumptions or opinions people have of the family aren't inaccurate because it's what Candi chooses to film. Karli is over it. Chase is despondent and basically just deals with his entire life/relationship on camera. Blake seems completely out of the picture. And poor Andrew can't hold a relationship together because of his mom forcing it all on camera. Clearly the income from the channel is based on the children's social lives...but is that enough anymore?
