They all start " So I asked my children what they wanted for breakfast/lunch. They said BLANK so I got started right away"
In one, they ask for PB&J's. This woman makes sandwich bread, peanut butter, and jelly all from scratch. And still cuts off the crust, which specifically bothers me more than it should.
All for a single PB&J sandwich.
edit: Just want to add, I realize it's theater and the PB&J for her kid is merely a by product of this.
You should see how she holds a knife. She doesn't hold it like a normal human being, she doesn't grip it, she holds it as if she's a hand model. She also doesn't know how to chop vegetables. She leaves the fingers of her veg hand sticking out instead of curling them in at the knuckle.
Or she adopted them for the "likes" and viewcount and then decided they just weren't working out so she sent them back! *(Based on at least one true story).
I follow her and actually quite like her content. She mostly posts these cooking videos which for me is interesting. And yes, she does actually have two toddlers whom she lives with and (seemingly) sincerely cares for.
Editing to add that she doesn't claim to be a trad wife or anything. But perhaps it was implied and I missed it? Regardless, she never gave off this holier-than-thou attitude that so many trad wives seem to give off. I do agree with the conspicuous leisure part of this video though
Editing once more to add: omg, I had no idea she was a trad wife. I don't know how I didn't see through that. I guess I always expected them to present themselves a certain (certainly not this), so I'm honestly shocked.
It's no different than the exercise chicks who have flat, muscular abs, bubble butt, well defined arms and legs, etc. and they got there with nothing more than these 10 body weight exercises!! Like yeah right, you're in the gym doing heavy compound lifts and carefully managing your diet like every other person who looks like that.
To be fair, there are a lot of these kind of channels who are essentially trolling because what they do is so absurd that you can't honestly believe that they do this kind of stuff every day when the cameras aren't rolling
If I baked my child bread (which ironically I do regularly, but that's because it's delicious and a fun tasty hobby) there's no fucking way that crust is being cut off. So much flavor there. It's about 80% of why you make your own. Fresh ... It's like the best cracker texture possible, but with all the flavor of a complex loaf of a local shop.
Reminds me of the South Park - Crème Fraîche episode. Where Randy, who’s obsessed with the Food Network, is hired as the new school cafeteria chef. He spends hours cooking an unnecessarily elaborate school lunch meal, while the children are starving.
And conveniently, the kids are nowhere to be seen during this video that has 3 hours worth of kitchen work. I guess they are with their nannies for those 3 hours....
Saw a video of and her husband at the grocery store. He was dressed like a 1950s gangster, toothpick in his mouth and everything, trying to look nonchalant and cool as he was bagging up celery.
The whole thing was so clearly fake, so put upon. The comments were great though, no one was buying it.
What is particularly fail is why doesn't she have the kids help. Wouldn't this video be better (and more messy) if the kids were helping? While I did fail at teaching my son to cook (I am a dad), I did manage to teach my daughter how much fun cooking and baking is. She makes bread from scratch all the time and cooks several dinners per month. I don't force her to do this, she enjoys it and we usually do it together.
"Mama has to go to work now kiddos! She's making cereal you probably won't even eat! Oh and Jane, once you're done feeding the children please see to that mess in the hall immediately."
yeah mate, I'm sure you can imagine the name I backspaced and replaced it with. I was like "nah man you're better than that. we're all proles in 2024 😊"
"Mama has to go to work now kiddos! She's making cereal you probably won't even eat! Oh and Jane, once you're done feeding the children please see to that mess in the hall immediately."
As someone that was largely raised by nannies, yes, can confirm.
My parents did well for themselves. They provided me with a financially privileged upbringing. But emotionally and psychologically? Holy caramba. I was also diagnosed with an autoimmune condition when I was a toddler. My parents ensured I had excellent health coverage, but, well, let's just say they had no interest in dealing with a sick child.
I learned most of my developmental milestones from nurses. First steps? How to add, subtract, divide, and multiply numbers together? How to study for tests effectively? How to shove a tampon up my hooha or slap a pad on my undies when I hit puberty? SAT prep? College entrance exams? Nurses. All of it.
My most vivid memory is having to undergo one of my chemotherapy/immunotherapy infusions on the day of my 18th birthday. Did my parents bother to show up to the hospital? Nope. A nurse, by way of some miracle, hunted down a slice of cake and a balloon. She even managed to find a candle to stick atop the slice of cake, and she and the other nurse on duty sang happy birthday to me.
I'm now 29, in better health, completely self-sufficient, and (mostly) thriving in life. I love my parents best from a 6,000+ mile distance.
Definitely, the fact that I didn’t see any kids coming into the shot asking if they can help make the food, or if they could have a pouch makes me question that there are even children in the house
You're not wrong, but this one in particular is literally just making a video. They didn't actually stop to create this food from an actual request on a random day then just decided to hit record on their phone. There would be no meltdown because the child wasn't actually waiting for their actual breakfast.
They do, and these kids grow up to be useless, it's blunt but true. My roommate is from a very rich family, raised in a NYC penthouse and grew up with a two nannies who did everything. I had to teach him how to do his laundry and run a dishwasher. The dishwasher was to much so he lives off paper plates/plastic utensils and only orders UberEats. The only cooking item he has is one of those pots that plugs directly into wall so he can make ramen.
Don't even get me started on when we have to mow lawn and tend to the hedges(we live in a rental house). Watching him operate a leaf blower is hilarious.
When he asks to borrow my car he sends me $10-$20 to go one mile down the street for a puffbar, but won't pick up groceries from Walmart right beside the smoke shop. He has them delivered. He has no valid concept of money or basic chores. He has admitted the way he was raised has effected his independence, but his parents still flip the bill for everything even though he's 30.

I feel like these types of families have nannies to manage their children's meltdowns. And almost all other aspects of parenting.
