hire a nanny and let her be a kid its not that hard

I've always believed family channels should not exist period. The kids can't consent and it alters their lives in ways they can't control.

It's so messed up to keep a child from their education to help take care of her siblings. It's the parents' responsibility not a child. She may love it now but taking that socialization and education away and putting that responsibility on her may make her resent it later in life. Either hire a nanny or don't have so many kids if you can't care for them.

I find it so infuriating that the eldest daughter takes on a maternity role as soon as their mother decides to have more children. As an eldest daughter myself, I was doing things that I shouldn't have been doing as a child such as taking care of and attending to the needs of my youngest brother. In the most extreme cases, some of these girls have their childhood stripped away from them and resent their siblings for that same reason. I really do hope that this doesn't traumatize Everleigh in any way but I will not be surprised if she decides to remove herself from social media once she is old enough.

As someone who had to raise their infant sibling at the age of 9 I can say that a 9 year old is not a extra set of hands. That’s a child let her be a child. Hire a nanny.

You don't take your child out of school so that they can help you. Step up and be a parent. It's you're responsibility to you're children. Don't make that child a care taker.

So you wanna homeschool your daughter so she can be a second mom to the child you made??? She’s still a child she deserves her education and childhood. They don’t even have real jobs how do you not have time for the baby you’re making?? If you need help, hire a nanny.

They didn't think about the workload before they got her pregnant? As the oldest daughter who became her mom's caregiver, this is going to create so much resentment within her. Too many treat older kids, usually the daughter, as de-facto parents. Young women shouldn't dedicate their lives to servitude. I hope this isn't an anti-abortion documentary considering this example of poor family planning.

Their oldest didn’t choose to be a parent, THEY DID. Having her help with chores or babysit later in life is one thing but to make her their little nanny is a recipe for disaster and she might resent them later.

The fact that they can AFFORD a nanny or extra help, but make one their children take care of THEIR other KIDS!!!!

Imagine being 9 and you get pulled out of school to raise your sibling just because your parents like having babies but not raising them. All these weird blonde haired, blue eyed, religious influencers give me the creeps. They wouldn't be doing this to their son...

If she needs her oldest child to help with the other children, she. Doesn’t. Need. Another. Child.

Do they realize they could’ve not had more children? It’s not a child’s job to help raise their siblings

As a person who was homeschooled to help with a younger sibling I am so worried for the oldest

Watch this extremely privileged family talk about being anti-choice just because Savannah was a teen mom.. I’ll throw up. Anti-choice but where are they fostering children? Where are they adopting older children who are at a low chance of ever being adopted?? Why are they popping out a new kid every year when there are thousands in need of a family and they clearly have the finances and time to help them?? Oh yeah.. *crickets* These people have NO idea the type of situations that lead women to making their own choices. They should leave their privileged mouths shut.

I can guarantee you that if their eldest was a son they wouldn’t want to take him out of school to help with the kids.

Lying about your daughter having cancer?? there are no words. absolute sicko's.

There's a word for what they're doing to Everleigh and that's parentification. It's bad enough they've exploited their kids and robbed them of a normal childhood, but now they're taking away what little bit of childhood she had left. Honestly, it's upsetting that these family channels get away with this much.

As the oldest daughter, I began taking care of my mom’s fourth child at age 9 as well. By 13, my mom had her 6th child and I was the one waking up in the middle of the night to take care of my newborn sister. And when I asked my mom for help because I wanted to get sleep for school, she would be angry and told me “so you want me to work AND take care of a baby?” and berated me for being “selfish”. The oldest daughter is not the secondary mother. Period.

isn't this called "Parentification"? where the parents put the child as free child care labor for their other kids. these parents downright real messed up for even thinking of using their kids for their convenience

cole saying homeschooling is good cause parents are able to control what their kids are learning is another major yikes. you know exactly what he means with that

if they do actually the home school thing, so that she can take care of the younger siblings will have her mentally stressed out at a young age for things she shouldnt be stressed about.

Honestly you could add a segment where you say your opinions bc I’m really interested in hearing them.

Honestly I can’t stand the labrant family. They are taking the eldest daughter away from her social life, making her mature way to early. She’s 8-10 now, she looks so disappointed that she is getting another sibling, she is probably so tired because having two toddlers are very needy and since they decided to try for a baby/ couldn’t wait a little bit it’s reflecting to the eldest daughter where they need the help but they need to realize that stuff can severely hurt their eldest daughter, by that I mean she is having to deal with all the kids as well she may get taken away from the only place she can get away from all of it. On that I’m speaking from a situation similar except it was more family issue, but non the less poor kid. ( all of this is my opinion )

As a person that works in child welfare and I have to face the realities of my kiddos, especially teens, be abused and forced into pregnancy, and having kids age out of foster care and never get adopted because people prioritize adopting younger, the rumors about the new doc are so worrying considering they are only looking at the consequences of choice as it applies to them, which is dismissive and tunnel-visioned.

Parentification is a thing, and it is a form of abuse. They’re rich enough, hire a nanny, don’t force a 9 year old to be your “extra set of hands” that’s some BS

I was homeschooled and home churched and it was REALLY damaging. My parents didn't insure that I was on track with my education which lead to me not graduating, lack of social skills, social anxiety, and most of my childhood was helping my parents clean and make renovations to the house. So I see this as almost a form of abuse. Just because those "parents" don't know how to put on a condom doesn't mean this 9 yr old should be a 3rd parent to these kids.

her mother literally said “it’s nice having an EXTRA PAIR OF HANDS even if it’s a 9 YEAR OLD.” Let her stay in school bro.

As the oldest daughter who did take care of her siblings, I ended up despising my mother for a long time, we are fine now. I gave up so much for my siblings (clubs, jobs, even my dream college, etc) just so I can be with my family. Now 23 years old, I put my feet down and now I have to deal with that guilt of not doing my part but I have to realize that I'm not a mom. My siblings will be okay. But its still a shitty thing to do to your kids. If you need extra hands, relay on your partner, maybe even your parents, they have money, get a nanny, but to take that away from a 9 year old is gross

Being 9 and in school with your peers is very important for children to learn about how to socialize and understand about other people. Pulling them out of school to be second mommy to their younger siblings as they keep coming out sounds very TLC Duggar family vibes. Let your kids be kids. You're not ready to be a mom of 4? Your 9 year old isn't ready to be also.

I swear if they actually put out an anti abortion pro life documentary I’m gonna lose it Update: they did I’m actually screaming 😤

I cannot STAND these people. Someone save everleigh!

Taking Everleigh out of school for any reason other than internal struggles she’s experiencing is incredibly disappointing and hurtful to her development. She didn’t look happy at all when they posted the video telling her they were pregnant again. She’s probably so tired of being a 3rd parent, especially at 9 years old. School and dance are really the only places she goes and gets her away from her parenting duties and they want to take one of the two things she does away from her? Nah. I’m baffled that they’re legitimately considering it and thinking it’s a good idea. So incredibly selfish of them. Also they claim how pro-life they are. They’re not. They are pro birth. If they were pro-life, they’d try for adoption if they really need that many kids… not pop a new baby out every year just because you can. If they can’t handle having 3 kids at a young age, why are they always trying for more?? Ugh, those kids deserve so much better.

As soon as you said documentary and then read their Instagram posts I feel like it’s going to be about abortion and getting pregnant at a young age and having kids at a young age and I swear to God I’m so sick of these pro-life people forcing pregnancies on people

As much as it’s the parents’ fault for exploiting their children, it’s also the viewers’ fault who already know what’s going on behind the scenes, yet continue to mindlessly watch and enable these family channels.

this is a huge middle finger to everleighs future. Im so interested to see her attitude towards social media and her parents when shes older

I am SO GLAD everyone else felt the way I did about this! HORRIBLE!!!

I have two younger brothers, and while I had to look out for them after school, my family never denied or compromise my education for the sake of me being a nanny to them. That’s not fair to the eldest child, they are the parents they are responsible for watching over their children, not the older sister

Savannah won’t get a nanny because shes selfish! She doesn’t want her kids to see another woman as motherly! I can tell. That’s why she wants her 9 year old to help and that’s just stupid! Don’t take that girl out of school for that! She had no say on them being born So she should not have to sacrifice anything.

The fact they compared abortion to the holocaust and other genocides INFURIATED ME. algood for them having their own views but that was too far.

when savannah was talking about homeschooling everleigh and there’s an option where she’s at school 2 days a wk and home 3 days a wk, notice how she says “that’s perfect for me” and doesn’t even acknowledge how everleigh feels about it. even though she said that they’ll be able to see her more and spend more time with her, we all know it’s primarily to help with the other siblings. it’s infuriating seeing a mother who is taking her oldest child’s education & social life away just because she cant be a proper mother and take care of the 2 (soon to be 3) other kids she has. i never liked this family and this situation proves my point even more

@5:55 wasn't fully paying attention and thought she was 100% talking about a nanny until she said a 9yo!! Stopped me right in my tracks Wtaf!! Do people even hear themselves?? 🙄

Imagine thinking that because YOU decide to have a pile of kids, that your CHILD needs to then assume responsibility. They're infuriating " school 2 days a week, and home 3 days a week, which is perfect for me " For HER. Wow. Wooooow

don't like how easy it is to homeschool your kids in the states, a parent never replaces a teacher. Not even if they have the knowledge. And also I HATE how they only want to pull her out of school to help with the kids Savannah keeps popping out. Like seriously-they have more than enough money for a nanny. No need to strip your child of their childhood

It's absolutely disgusting to deprive a child of an education or a normal life to help out with your other kids, especially when you can afford the help. There is no need for your 9 YEAR OLD to raise your other children.

Why do they care about people having an abortion

why is a child responsible for helping raise the siblings?

They don’t even pay attention to Everleigh. They mostly only look at Posie. Whenever Everleighs home she has to help raise the kids. They’re using her as a butler

pretty sure they want their kids homeschooled so they have always acces to them if they want to film them... also, the fact savannag admitted that she wanted her kids to help raise HER own other kids?? 99% sure the documentary is gonna be abour abortus.. they are a very religious family & they know how easy their fanbase is manipulated bc of their young age. this isn't gonna be pretty..

The documentary is out. It’s on abortion. I’m screaming, and very very angry. I couldn’t finish. It mad me sick. Absolutely foul.

somehow i forget about this family until their name pops back up in the tea community

never knew Kristoff would have so many problems with being a family channel

they really wanna keep their oldest daughter home to help raise their kids. unbelievable. this is how daughters resent their parents for treating them like second mothers. she deserves her own life.

Savannah: I’m thinking about homeschooling my daughter. Also Savannah: I’m not the kind of mom who can do full-time home though 🤷🏼‍♀️

As an eldest daughter who was put in and out of public school to be homeschooled during years when my mother had a baby, this is infuriating. Of course she seems to “enjoy” it, she’s a child who is eager to be a good sister and daughter and get the love and attention she deserves from her parents. This is disgusting and I saw this so much in large families like the one I grew up in and homeschool families.

Pressed as quick as possible lol

The call the younger kids "the children", not "the other children". I hope they realize a nine year old is not a tiny adult. She is also a child.

Not sure if u knew or not Spilly, but ur assumption about what thier doc would be is right, it was so graphic and gross...they compare the Holocaust to Ab0rti0n like, wtf??

Lol they turned off the comments on the abortion documentary they uploaded. Totally seem open minded to different opinions and criticism 🙄

someones always in "big trouble" everyday now lol

they have enough money to hire a nanny or caretaker... why are they putting that on everleigh? jeeez

bruh if she doesn't want more responsibility SHE SHOULDNT HAVE A KID. HOLY SHIT THIS MAKES ME SO MAD.

“Everyone’s done it” Me, never once having clickbaited, realizing that’s why I’m the smallest channel on the internet: 👁👄👁

It’s about abortion 🙃 I’m livid.

Theres a special place in H*ll for Family channels that use normal testing and waiting for a click bait cancer titles....

I’ve always thought that family channel who choose to have their children in their videos should be exempt from being able to monetize their videos.

This is called parentification. It's a form of abuse. I'm 20yo and have 3 younger siblings, the youngest being 5yo. I've been turned into a 3rd parents and full time free nanny ever since I was young, and it's fucked me up in so many ways. You get burnt out and stressed out. Don't turn your children into parents. As a parent you should be doing your own job, or don't have (more) kids at all.

Spoiler: the documentary is about bortion and it's up since 2 hours

A 9yo is *not* an extra set of hands ffs. You don’t live on a farm in the 1930s. Let her be a kid.

On the edge of my seat waiting for uncensored Spilly😂

I hope at LEAST one member of the labrant family’s kids become part of the lgbtq community and become pro-choice.

what confuses me the most is the fact that they obviously have a lot of money so why not hire a nanny to help? 😭 they could probably have 20 nannies with the amount of money they have make it make sense 💀

my mother was a full time registered nurse working shift work with 5 kids all going to school and she had an unplanned pregnancy when she was 40, bringing us to 6. she didn’t try to use her children as built in nannie’s because moms do whatever they have to to care for their kids. savannah just openly and happily told the world what a bad and lazy mom she is lol

Money has clouded their judgment and beliefs. They used to b so wholesome. It’s crazy to see their progression

Lol not them posting the documentary 54 minutes ago and turning the comments off 🙄💀

IT IS AN ANTI ABORTION VIDEO OH NO LMAOOOOOOOO

And now there pro-life vid.. didn't think it could get any worse. I could barely watch that video for more than 5mins. So one sided and too much misinformation. Disgusting.

that is infuriating. IF YOU CANT HANDLE FOUR KIDS DON’T HAVE FOUR KIDS! and especially don't have your kids have to take care if the other ones- they didn't chose to be parents.

Being the oldest sibling and having to take care of the younger ones almost my whole life, is literally a generational curse that has made me resent my mom for it. If she needs another pair of hands with the kids then she should ask her HUSBAND not her ‘oldest’ daughter. Pathetic 🤮

k but did anyone see the newest abortion video i was so fucking mad about it

When are they not in trouble? They’re just as problematic as the ACE family

soemthing that upsets me the most, is the fact that they use God to justify their choices when they're clearly wrong. it makes it harder for true Christians to enact change. if this documentary is really about them being pro life it'll set back the work that many modern Christians have been doing to undo and rectify the pain the people have done in the name of our religion.

This is why I’m an atheist…

“Would be perfect for ME” not the child, her 💀

if it’s about abortion I swear update: I hate my life I was right

I am 26 with 4 children. I couldn’t imagine pulling my oldest child out of school to raise her siblings. I chose to have 4 children. It’s my job to raise the children I chose to have wtf.

Their documentary that they just released is...very, VERY unnecessary. They cannot just try to force their beliefs like that onto other people on that topic. It really upset me, and I'm sure a lot of people can say the same thing.

as a sister who was forced to take care of the young ones... that is messed up and the child will start to hate her small siblings and parents

I wouldn’t dislike family channels if they didn’t solely rely on their children for their popularity… it’s supposed to be about the family not just the kids… and your kids aren’t just actors for your channel.

girl everyone is always in TROUUUBBLLEEE. 😂😂😂🤣😅🤣 reminds me kids being like “OHHH BEN IS IN BIIIG TROUBLE MISTER!!’ ☠️☠️☠️ ily spilly you kno i play

Documentary is out and I think it’s exactly what you thought it was gonna be 🤮

the parents look like siblings. not sorry

I cannot wait to hear you go off about this documentary…. It’s Anti abortion….

Imagine being a parent that preaches that you want what’s best for your kid… only to hinder their education so they can take care of your other kids. What century is this?

That poor girl, her childhood is gonna literally be taken from her…..from her OWN parents

So weird trying to pass your baby off to a 9 year old 😖😖😖

Stop making your kids take care of your kids 🙄

The oldest will definitely do a “tell all” when she’s older …

As an older sibling, I would scream if my parents tried doing that. I'm social too, and get anxiety if I'm in the house too long. They just don't seem to be considering that.

When are parents going to learn that it is NOT their eldest child’s responsibility to care for their youngest siblings. Not saying they shouldn’t help once in awhile with chores, but raising children? They’re so young themselves. I grew up taking care of my siblings at a very young age and felt as if I didn’t get to enjoy my childhood to the fullest due to the huge responsibility left on me. So sad they would even consider this. Each to their own I guess.
