@@shirashiraonthewallikr its fucked up

Yep. Makes me SO MAD

So sad for her

I feel really bad for her. All the speculation about that reddit post, which if it was true was written by some kid who has their whole life broadcast and was explicitly asking for privacy, leaves a bad taste in my mouth as well. I know, nothing's really private on the internet. And calling out channels that profit off child abuse and neglect is definitely important. But maybe we can leave those kids the little bit of privacy they have left, even if it's just an illusion.

Addison still isn't in alot of videos but they did move back to a house

I wonder if that was her way of punishing Addison - making sure her intimate struggles are out there for everyone and their mother to see and know as a means of making her just as embarrassed and ashamed as her parents feel. Literally it would be both simpler and more conscious to say Addison is staying with Grandma or something on the family ranch. After all that wouldn’t even be the first lie lol

:[

This is so true. The combined power of a complete lack of control in life and having your face plastered online for the public to scrutinise seems like a recipe for disaster for these young people

But you can have a stable home life, socialisation and friends when you live in a motorhome. You also can have stable relationships. Hi, I’m the person with lived experience who has the right to say this!

​@@lovinglifewitheli bs..

I had a pretty unstable life as a kid. Results always turn out the same with that kind of lifestyle - years of learning to socialize, getting over social anxiety and other mental disorders, searching for sense of safety.

@@lovinglifewitheli With all due respect, just because you're an exception does not mean you're the majority. Unfortunately a majority of kids in these lifestyles don't turn out the same as you have and suffer lifelong consequences because of it, so while it's fantastic you were able to have a positive outcome from such an experience, you should also understand that most don't have that same positive experience you did.

I still call it that because thats exactly what it is...homelessness.

They've done gentrified homelessness

Yeah I agree And that’s coming from someone who lives in an apartment

Exactly. Kids deserve more

I bet that the people who were defending the parents are reading this comment and sitting in silence. As they should.

It wouldn't even be ethical to raise most pets in an RV 😭 maybe a cat or a lazy dog but Def not multiple pets

This is something I've particularly noticed with a lot of people who say they want to have "a baby" or "lots of babies". They like the idea of having a BABY, feeding, clothing, coddling, that sort of thing. Then, if you notice, as soon as that child hits toddler age, suddenly they're "having another baby!" They don't want CHILDREN, they want a BABY. It's like the people who want a PUPPY, but then when that puppy becomes an adult, back to the shelter it goes so they can adopt another puppy. The problem for these parents is when they realize that they can't do that with kids. Then the kids become an inconvenience.

My sweet toy poodle is 1 year old and I wouldn’t abandon her This is just cruel

TRUEEEE

I feel tf outta this. I grew up on a farm with a far right Christian family I was basically live stock, a prop, and a vessel for them to live vicariously through

Add on to my original post when we went camping they would put down the cabinet doors and have me sleep up by the ceiling I couldn't even turn on my side or lift my neck up

Don’t stereotype van parents. Mine are great and i have lots of room in the van.

​@@KidcoreEbbs no one cares about your single exceptional experience, we're criticizing a phenomenon that is obviously at its core selfish and abusive

Ngl that’s way too much for a kid you expect the dad to notice that they’re tired

How selfish. All the children need equal space and more privacy.

I heard that as I read this, my jaw dropped. How abusive.

"For us" she propably meant for our family but still

HAHAHA

Isn’t that… straight up abuse? Also are you telling us that your house is an horrible mess?

​@@FMirage2000CI mean they probably don't live with their mom anymore

Are you ok?

TRUE

Control is the reason people have an ED. Social media just brings it to attention more. ​@@shirashiraonthewall

Wouldn't be surprised if it's control, but also constant comments from her family about how they look. A camera in your face and being told to "look like this" "don't do that" "look happy" "remember our image" etc will eventually put a strain on a person, even if they aren't on social media.

@@Solonneysa Good point.

I feel this way, and I live in a HOUSE!!! My mom chooses what I can and can’t wear, which might seem pretty reasonable, but she also constantly takes away my stuff, freedoms, and freetjme if I don’t do everything I’m supposed to. So, I eat. A lot. Because the one thing she can’t stop me from doing is EATING. And then she SIDE EYES MY STOMACH. And I feel like a fatass because of the internet standards.

Fr. There was only like one van life family I saw were their teenager had her own bedroom. It’s crazy how these people think they are good parents. My friends when they were younger had to move immediately and the only house available had two rooms so her boys took one and the girls took the other. Their mom slept on a mattress on the floor behind a curtain. And even then atleast she had a window and space to herself. Her young girls having privacy was more important than her own and my mom would do the same in a heartbeat

EXACTLY like it is SO DAMN HARD to find a van life tiktok with the kids in actual beds??? Don’t even get me started with ROOMS.

Because where else will the parents be to make even more of those kids? They’re living their van life dreams and the kids are in the way, hence the closet space bedrooms.

@@Coolhotgem1nithat mom is a badass and I hope their living situation is better now.

It starts with just the parents and the queen bed, then they have 1 kid & convert a shelf for them to sleep on, then it snowballs.

No shame in cleaning toilets lol I cleaned so many toilets at my old job 🫣

Lol, of course! Just loved the comedy 😂

Public school is trash, imagine bragging about sending your kid to that failure-factory

Bragging about giving their kids routine and an space to make friends in a structured environment? news flash, not everyone can afford private school or home schooling. Nor is everyone who does appropriately implementing education correctly. Get off your high horse. Public school isn't the best, yes. However it is significantly better than socially isolating your children and devoiding them of a proper education, socioemotional relationships, and privacy. School for some is a reprieve from home @@AgentMercer

@@animemusicluver1 you fluent in yapanese? Public schools are trash, and that is just a fact

​@@animemusicluver1School doesn't have a monopoly on social interactions and education. Public school is actually detrimental to both for a lot of children.

Yeah not my vibe at all

The fucked up thing is the dirt and grass outside is probably softer than that tile he was laying on.

Well, my parents took us traveling in a motorhome for years when I was in my teens because we were getting bullied so much and had bad mental health. It actually helped us. So each to their own, but for some children it actually helps.

@@lovinglifewitheliyes that’s true and I’m glad it helped you, however one of the big issue with this content in particular is the fact that these children are being forced to have their lives broadcast online for views. I’m guessing when your parents did that for you, you weren’t being filmed 24/7 right?

*Yoinks pants off* "Just a minute, Josiah. Gotta shit out this massive log."

josiah fine asf

that sounds like a nightmare to me

Yeah,I noticed this kind of manipulation growing up too. Agree. I would have different kinds of negative reactions towards situations and would show how they made me feel,but no one would question them, because I didn't explicitly say "It's making me uncomfortable/sad/etc" because I couldn't communicate properly. Those adults should take accountability and let kids be kids without disregarding their needs.

They got divorced?

@banban4343 Yup, the couple got divorced. That's why they stopped living in the rv. She ,the mother, made a post about it.

Why did they get divorced? The van?

Also not to mention that your risk of dying is higher while driving, and in this sense they put their children at a risk of death that normal parents usually don't do

YUP!

That’s amazing! I think van life can be really fun if it’s just two people. It can be kind of challenging though finding parking and bathrooms

@shirashiraonthewall Oh yes, for sure! Parking and bathrooms are two of our biggest concerns. We probably spend the most time talking about solutions to those particular problems. It will be a huge challenge, for sure.

Things like this need to be taken on a case by case basis. Firstly, there are many families throughout the world that live in a single room/studio house. My personal opinion is that vanlife is fine for young children and can be fun. I do think older kids and teens should have a more stable home if possible. I live in a van by choice. I’m a single mom and I waited until my youngest went to college before doing this. I also had to work three jobs just to pay the rent on a one bedroom apartment. So I can see why some families may not have a choice. Having a “stable” job is not that easy anymore. I should mention my main job was a career profession and I could still not make rent with it………… that being said, a lot of the examples you are showing are different. 10 kids in one camper is absurd. Family van bloggers is a bit of a red flag. My concern with this video is you are promoting judging people with kids in a camper without knowing the specifics.

Have you seen "The Concrete Oasis"? It's my favorite van build as far as the layout goes. I won't use public restrooms and I want a seating area and a bed, but don't want to have to convert it every morning and night, so this is the perfect build for me. I would use different materials and maybe do a murphey bed instead of electric, but I love their bathroom. If you search concrete oasis, there are a bunch of videos. Good luck with your build and I hope you have so much fun traveling! ​@@mosaicowlstudios

Well the good news is that particular family was only in the RV for a trip.

yeah i guess so, i dont know the ins and outs of their family tho

Also they made a video discussing the prices of the instruments. Some of the bows alone were 6 figures iirc. 10 instruments + 10 bows that THE KIDS ARE PAYING FOR???

They are home schooled. Are you suggesting being homeschooled is bad and they should attend public school? Would that change everyone’s outlook or stay exactly the same?

@@RafaelTorrez-zc3wl it’s not the lack of traditional school, it’s that they’re spending all their time busking for money INSTEAD of learning anything else.

@@RafaelTorrez-zc3wl if they're busking for a living when exactly are they doing schoolwork? Do you think they're getting at least 6 hours of work done at least four days of the week? You could argue that they busk and then do schoolwork but that's a lot of work and no play for 10 kids

I hope you get better

It’s just What’s the point

Yep! Keep family business PRIVATE

Some of these names are from the Bible. So I would not doubt if they are also religious to some degree. Enok tho..I have no idea. Edit: Enoch is also a Biblical figure during the time of Moses. They love the Ark Arc of the Bible. Attempt at a joke. Apologies if I offended anyone with that joke.

Not defending them but the names are biblical

Wishing the best for you. I didn't grow up in an RV, but I did grow up with a family who hid me away and isolated me. It's very hard, but once you're on your own, you can build your own freedom. It has been so much better for me and I am hopeful it will be for you, too.
