Alex & Michael: Gram Before Fam (Pt 12)

[CEM1012]

What’s she in LA and Palm Springs for the week for?! What brand is still paying her dirty ass to travel is beyond me

[CEM1012]

Oh and surprise surprise another giveaway. She couldn’t be more desperate for followers. Pathetic

[gossipislife1]

No mama or anything even remotely close to it that we’ve seen, & I’m sure she would make sure we KNOW if he says mama lol He basically grunts a lot and I guess has said something close to dada.

What has shocked me the most is that she doesn’t wake up with her own child & admitted it in the wedding vlog that she sleeps in and is never up early. The few times I tried to sleep in when I was sick, my son wasn’t having it. He would demand “mama” and make my husband bring him in to see me lol Julian barely even knows her and absolutely despised being held by her, as we’ve seen several times in vlogs where he pushes off and gets away from her and goes to Michael. Absolutely shameful mothering.
And many times Michael has talked about Julian being up throughout the night and she says “oh really I thought he slept well.” Yeah bitch bc you have poor Michelle doing EVERYTHING for that child so you have ZERO idea what he does. It’s shocking bc she doesn’t even try to pretend to be a good mother. She takes pride in the fact that she has her hubby being the care taker bc she’s such a “boss bitch” and can’t be bothered w care taking her own baby, despite being home 24/7 doing shit else besides online shopping. She is the epitome of a useless Piece of Shit.

She probably has never woken up with him during the night and demanded Michael to get up. She’s a lazy piece of shit and a terrible mother and she doesn’t even care. The icing on the cake was Julian getting into boxes and stuff and her sitting on her phone ignoring him

The bitch didn’t bat an eye even when Michael made it a point to say “hey you’re gonna hurt yourself.” This vapid space cadet doesn’t look up from her phone to acknowledge either one of them. She’s too busy filling that empty black hole with non stop junk. Michael didn’t even know she was changing out that light in their bedroom, she just took it upon herself to get online, AGAIN, and order more shit while her child is on the floor getting into things that could very possibly hurt him.
If she thought having a baby was going to make her more likeable relatable and endearing, she was dead wrong! Having a baby made this icy bitch even more horrible in every single way possible. I didn’t think I could dislike her more until she became a “mother.” She literally disgusts me.

That's probably a major reason why she didn't want to breastfeed, so she wouldn't have to wake up in the middle of the night and have to feed him. Selfish bitch!

I think its apparent something is off with Julian. It will be difficult for Alex to have Julian keep up with Ford, I foresee issues already with schooling and activities and her being so hyper-competitive.

Would love to know how you came to this conclusion? You think he should be speaking full sentences at 17 months?

Never once did that user say anyone's expecting him to be speaking full sentences at 17 months, stop putting words in people's mouths and trying to flame the conversation. You'd like to know how some people are coming to that conclusion? By watching their videos. Alex is hyper-competitive. Always has been, always will be. It's natural to look at Julian and compare what he's doing with what Ford is doing (and any other baby the same age.) Nobody is saying Julian needs to be speaking in fluent english at the age of 17 months, we're simply stating for his age, they do recommend babies to be speaking at least 5-15 words by now. Every child is different and nobody is arguing that, so relax. We're clearly making an observation.

How is the orignal comment an observation? That's clearly a statement, not an observation!

I stand by the statement actually. If he was my child I would be getting any and all early intervention that I could. I have been trained in early childhood education and have worked with children on the spectrum. Early intervention is key. It's been noted several times the signs he has displayed. Actually every vlog I see I notice something new.
Not making eye contact. Not looking when his name is called. As a small baby, his motor skills were lacking and slow to evolve. He also doesn't seem to be very affectionate. The late walking, while can be completely normal would still have most parents concerned. He does not need to be speaking in sentences at this age but come on, he only babbles and says "dada, dada". I have also noticed he is usually holding on to a toy car, seems to be the same car? This is a sign as some children can become attached and need to have a certain object with them. I also noticed in the latest vlog that it was interesting they said how Julian loves to organize things, another key sign.
Julian seems like a super sweet little boy, I actually think he's pretty cute.

[eyeroller]

It is strange how little they show him. I don't think it's a concern over privacy either. Something seems off. What I don't get is why Michael would want another child with this type of person? That part doesn't add up to me.

Yea weren't they famous for not doing tummy time? That can really help motor skills in the beginning... We all said it but her neglect and treating him like an accessory has created problems. Poor boy... He deserves better.

No professional would ever make a statement that bold just from a few minutes of footage here and there that you've seen. Even the neurologist who saw my son said he couldn't predict his future. Even the two developmental pediatricians and a child psychologist wouldn't tell me definitively anything about my child's educational future. Same thing with the BCBA we work with. I'm inclined to go along with their professional opinions over yours. One neurologist said he's seen kids who he's said had ASD and then two years later he wondered why he ever thought they had autism. In fact, they won't even diagnose a child with an intellectual disability until they're in early elementary.

I'm not saying that an assessment isn't needed, but I am saying there is no way you could possibly predict that right now.

Also, lots of kids like playing with cars. Him playing with cars means nothing even he loves them... it's only an issue if they're not playing with toys in their appropriate function and have a very narrow interests. Organizing doesn't mean anything either, it's an appropriate "schema of play" and it's only issue if they're lining things up in a specific order every time and get upset if you change the pattern or mess it up. Many normal kids line things up or organize them. Attachment to items is really most concerning if they're attached to an item that isn't a toy like a straw, a spatula, etc.

His lack of speech at 17 months is not that alarming. Most kids have a verbal explosion between 20-24 months.

I didn't diagnose him. Again I said I would get him in to see a specialist because I see concerning signs and I believe in early intervention. Sounds like you were 100% concerned about your son and would have done whatever was needed to get answers or any help, Alex does not appear to be doing any of that.

Who's going to do Alex's hair now that she's away from Sam Glam?

Sam visits salons in LA, Detroit, aaaaaand Nashville

Oh no are you serious lmao I was hoping she would have to track down someone new for her own good ugh haha

If she can afford a million dollar home, lord knows she can afford a better hairdresser. There are so many celebrity stylists in Nashville too... someone PLEASE fix her mop head

[eyeroller]

As far as her hair, I'm convinced she's waiting on Samglam to get into town.

[saucinonu]

delayed or not, it’s a shame julian will never get the full attention or love he needs and deserves from BOTH parents. i stopped watching them before they even had him because i can’t stand alex, but i keep up of course on here lol. from what i’ve heard, that child is under-stimulated and under-loved (at least by alex- it sounds like michael might have a bit more compassion) and that WILL impact him emotionally at least. it’s even worse that when he grows up, he can watch video footage of his mother totally disregarding him. to quote the don: “sad”

It is strange how little they show him. I don't think it's a concern over privacy either. Something seems off. What I don't get is why Michael would want another child with this type of person? That part doesn't add up to me.

I wonder the same all of the time, he knows better so is he manipulated or just in denial? The way he went along with Alex's humiliating photo (and had an issue with Frankie's outfit) says a lot.
As far as not showing Julian as much, I wonder if maybe they have spoken with their doctor about his development. Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't she planning to do a video on his 1 year appt and she cancelled only after the visit saying it was "boring." While I don't put that past her its possible that something was said that they don't want to share with their viewers.

I think he’s definitely manipulated. He probably realizes that without Alex, he doesn’t have a job anymore and would have to go back to a normal 9-5. Alex controls every aspect of his life. He’s also too lazy to get a real job I think too.

But doesn't she need him more? Who would care for Julian if he was working 9-5? It would all be on her, can you imagine? lol! They are totally stuck together. Now she's flying off for a week without him (I think she went alone anyway), and she probably won't even say she misses him!

[Alkaer0929]

I’m not going to comment on Julian’s development because that just feels wrong. But i think we can all agree Alex’s detachment from her child is disturbing.

I think as a mom you should still take time for yourself to feel and look good but she does take it to another level. If/when they have another baby who is going to watch the kids when she goes for her marathon hair/nails/facial appointments? Is she going to dump both kids with Michael? That seems unfair. Having your spouse handle one kid while you get away is very different than leaving them in charge of two kids.

Plus it seems like she relies on her parents and Frankie for babysitting quite a bit. How will that work now that they’ve moved away? Wouldn’t be surprised to see a nanny or “assistant” suddenly come into the picture.

My guess is she will either drop Julian off at Mal's every now and then to use her nanny (used to be Friday's when her parents would come), or, they will just film with him. They could always hire a service for a day or something. I don't think there will be an assistant because I don't think Alex can get along with a female in close quarters like that very long.

[eyeroller]

Just an interesting sidenote. I was watching Aaryn Williams (336k subs. but WAY more views/engagement) and she made a good point in one of her Q&A videos. They are around the same age as A & M, but Aaryn has 3 kids and is a good mom. Anyway, one of the questions was would her hubby ever quit his job to do youtube full-time with her? (he has a good career.) She said no, that she would be way too scared to put all their eggs in one basket with no backup plan. I thought that was so smart compared to Alex and Michael. Aaryn is growing fast and has great views- Alex isn't and doesn't. Now with Mal and Kyle, it doesn't matter if they put all their eggs in one basket cause Mal's family is rich.

Wonder if Michael realized he went to college to be a stay-at-home mom?

[mswatosh3]

Like wth is going on with them?! Alex hasn’t posted shit in Cali nor Michael with Julian. Is he not allowed to post when she’s away? What is he even doing without Alex?? He could very easily vlog himself & Julian... showing what they are doing without the bitch around and probably have a very entertaining video.

HA! I bet he isn't allowed to do S*IT without her approval!!

[acwride]

Literally dying at this video! From when they moved back to MI from a Nashville the first time... in the car talking about their furniture And how they’re going to keep it for 10-12 years , or until it goes out of style!
