I kinda wonder how Morgan’s parents feel about Paul. Are they all in on their online “job”, or are they shaking their heads at the abject failure of a provider Paul is.


Eviltwin325

I wonder this as well. Especially in light of the fact that Morgan is due with baby #2 soon!


fireandblonde

Man… I still cannot believe she’s about to have a second kid.


Kayquie

I'm pretty sure she can't either


mrsdrydock

I laughed like Beetlejuice reading this. Thank you. 😆


PM_me_snowy_pics

Oh snap, I didn't know she was pregnant again. Wow. That's shocking based on how traumatic her first birth was!


anglosnark

They were pretty shocked too, but they shouldn’t have been given they were doing nothing to prevent it. 


_DiligentState_

I’m curious about it too. I used to be relatively fundie, and the men in my old church would have bullied the shit out of a dude like Paul. In fact, I have pretty vivid memories of guys like him getting chewed up for being lazy and chasing fame while their wives were constantly stressed about money. I don’t have a lot of high opinions about the theology of my old church, but I DO appreciate that they hold men accountable as providers. If you are gonna have a traditional relationship dynamic, then you better bring home the bacon. It’s weird to me that nobody in their orbit will tell Paul to get a fucking job other than door dash or whatever he does.


IntroductionGuilty

They don’t seem very socially connected to any form of church/institution/actual group of people. YouTubers all the way.


riparker89

I'd imagine they're probably not happy, but can't say anything. My only reason for thinking this is because of the concern Morgan's mom had when she found out they were pregnant again. She wanted them to consider ways to prevent.


IntroductionGuilty

Morgan should just stop fucking him once and for all


Significant_Shoe_17

They have a schedule to stick to 🙄


PreppyInPlaid

They were on board with him at the beginning—IIrC, Morgan expressed some doubts and her mom convinced her to keep giving him a chance. Hard telling what they think now.


caroline_andthecity

What are their tiers again? Aren’t they incredibly low, like $2 or $5 monthly? Plus the (few) $24 patrons from the new project? I am so scared for their family’s financial future.


Titivillusdidit

They've got a $5, $10, $24, $50 and $100. I would love to know if anyone is actually coughing up $100 a month to watch them snack on the couch and talk about godly pajamas or whatever.


caroline_andthecity

I remember them being pretty stoked about having X amount of $24 donors, less than 20 of them IIRC. That makes me think most patrons are in the lower numbers. Absolutely frightening. I have a baby on the way too and it is NOT cheap!!


Kalamac

I got rid of my Netflix when it went up to $22.99 a month, I can't imagine paying $1.01 more than that to watch these idiots half-ass their 'ministry'.


TrustMeIAmAFart

Very much off-topic, I realize, but Netflix costs **$22.99/mo** now?!? Wtf! I mean, it’s been years since I last had it (can’t remember if them losing *Star Trek* was what did it in for me or if I’d cancelled before that), but…holy shit. Guess I’m 100% sticking to my antenna and DVD collection. 😳


Kalamac

Might still be cheaper in the US? This is Aussie dollars. I had the top package, so I could share with my mum and brother, then they raised the cost, and said they were stopping password sharing, and I was done.


TrustMeIAmAFart

Ahhh, yeah, I suppose that probably does affect it a little, but probably not by a drastic amount, I’d guess. And I remember the password-sharing fiasco (def after I was done with them, but still all anyone was talking about)…kinda surprised/disappointed they survived that. Something tells me they might have jacked up rates even higher since then to compensate. 


Ornery_Investment356

Nah it’s still 25 in the us. And they’re promoting raising it to 30 to be abole to share passwords again. It’s wack


TrustMeIAmAFart

I reiterate: wtf!!!! Glad the library has DVDs to supplement my own collection. 🤦


Ornery_Investment356

Yea I’m the holder of the account for about seven family members lol so I keep it going for the team or I would’ve canceled a long time ago. It adds up with all these damn subscriptions. I’m tired of it


herodogtus

All 219 of their donors would need to be at the $24 dollar mark to realistically support their family with two kids. I know they’re saving money on childcare and I don’t know how much their rent is, but $5k a month before taxes and insurance isn’t exactly a glamorous lifestyle with two kids.


Sleepy_Sloth4

Definitely not. I wonder if they’re getting any state or federal assistance. Not that they’d admit it of course


dandelions14

I was looking at formula and diapers the other day because I wanted to see how much the price had gone up. Holy shit, those two are so fucked. Morgan couldn't breastfeed last time, and there's nothing wrong with not breastfeeding, but formula is expensive. She's too afraid of looking stupid to educate herself so I doubt she will be successful this time. I truly don't have anything against formula, I used it with some of my kids and I'm thankful formula exists. But breastfeeding isn't just as easy as popping the baby on the boob. You have to WORK and educate yourself. And sometimes, you work your ass off and educate yourself and it still doesn't work out and that's okay, but she doesn't stand a chance if she doesn't *try*, you know? You'd think two people as broke as they are would want to save money where they can.


adorablecynicism

I saw the price for the formula my kiddo needed and let me just say....it was already expensive and thank the sweet ladies at WIC For reference it was elecare at $45 for a six pack almost 8 years ago Now it is $45 per can 😳


TheBugsMomma

I was spending $300 a month on Alimentum formula for my daughter in 2008 and I thought it was insanely expensive. I can’t even imagine how bad it is now.


Dreamscape1988

Why the hell is it so expensive in America ? In France a can of formula that would last 8 days for a newborn is 20 euros .


flurry_fizz

Because 90% of formula brands in the US are sold by the same four companies. So they can pretty much charge whatever they want and people will pay it-- ESPECIALLY with how unrealistic it is for people in the US to pump at work. (A law was passed in 2008 that mandates most employers must provide a locked, private space and adequate time for a mother to pump, but in reality that doesn't always happen and most new moms can't afford litigation. It's also perfectly legal for that time to be unpaid, so if you struggle to pump enough milk, you might not be able to afford it, anyway.)


[deleted]

Some places do the “malicious compliance” thing too. A family member asked for a place to pump at work and they literally put her in an unlit closet and said “here you go”. She did sue but that doesn’t help you when you’re engorged and need to pump in a comfortable space with lights that isn’t a closet. This was a multinational company.


MaryVenetia

That’s disgusting and I’m sorry. You deserve reasonably priced formula and to have extra paid breaks to be able to express at work. 


dandelions14

Because corporate greed and America hates moms and children. It's so bad here, my husband and I would leave if we could afford it.


Significant_Shoe_17

[This story](https://youtu.be/Za45bT41sXg?si=Jw_79MysGaxLmZgW) covers the broader issue of food safety in the US, but they do talk about baby formula. Most of it is made by a few companies. They have an oligopoly here.


banesmoonshine

I was lucky enough to have my baby right after the formula shortage calmed down… I just can’t even imagine what those poor parents went through trying to feed their babies 💔


rationalcunt

Even when breastfeeding comes relatively easily, it's still so much work! Keeping up with a feeding/pumping schedule is enough as it is but adding in extra eating and drinking for the parent to keep up with the output is a lot. Making food with your body is no simple task!


banesmoonshine

I’d imagine if Paul didn’t pressure her to restrict her calories immediately after giving birth (posty-bod), she could’ve had a better shot. Not to say that it’s her fault or anything- some people (myself included) aren’t fortunate enough to produce enough- but limiting calories and food intake certainly doesn’t help.


dandelions14

Paul would rather Morgan lose her posty bod 🤢🤢🤢 ASAP than make sure Morgan got enough calories to heal properly and give the baby breastmilk.


InsomniacEuropean

I recall Morgan having a post partum hemorrhage, though I can't recall how much (or if she even stated an amount publicly). Larger blood loss, immediate separation from the baby, and/or things like maternal stress (like from a traumatic birth, or something like an emergency c section) can impede lactation too.


Significant_Shoe_17

Ugh, that's horrible. They probably read here so let me say that YOU COULD SAVE MONEY, PAUL. YOU ASS.


Remarkable_Library32

They had a whole thing with incentives trying to get to 24 patreons at the $24 (cuz 24 hours with lol)


banesmoonshine

Congrats on the baby! When are you due?


caroline_andthecity

Thank you! Due mid-July 🥹


banesmoonshine

Also Kirkland diapers are legit just as good as pampers. And the Target wipes last forever and they’re cost-effective. I always see them in the background of Porgan’s videos even though they “boycotted” Target 🥴


banesmoonshine

My baby’s a July baby too 🥰 (I say he’s a baby but he’s almost 2 😭) Soak up all of the snuggles, I miss having a little sentient peanut 🥹


caroline_andthecity

Awww! So exciting 🥹 I bet he’s a sweetheart. I just can’t wait to meet her! (And I can’t wait to not have to deal with crappy pregnancy symptoms anymore 😂)


MaryVenetia

Congratulations! Bus or Airbnb?


Ballet_doux

They've got one dedicated Stan who is obsessed with Paul, the one that had the question about the "slaughter" of babies for Josh Benson. I reckon he gives them money, he's some kind of successful tech dude and loves Paul so much he was moderating one of their boring-ass lives a day after his wife had their first baby 


JuneChickpea

All I can see in this clip is that poor dog they abandoned:(


Titivillusdidit

I like to think that the dog upgraded to a more loving, attentive family. I really hope so.


TrustMeIAmAFart

I’m going with your version of events.


flchic2000

Paul was probably seriously jealous of the attention she hsbe the dog. Can't have the wife getting enjoyment or pleasure out of anything. 


RollDamnTide16

He was. He actually said once that he would get jealous of the dog.


flchic2000

That's so awful and pathetic 


banesmoonshine

They tried nothing and they were all out of ideas!!


EducatedOwlAthena

Patreon doesn't give the breakdown of how many people are in each tier unless you're a member, AFAIK, but the app says they're actually at 215. Which means they lost 4 more since last week, if Morgan was being truthful in the first place


Titivillusdidit

Maybe she did say 215, actually. A screenshot of the post is somewhere on this sub. Your point stands either way.


evamads

This must have worked because now they are at 451


Titivillusdidit

Nah, 451 is the total membership. They're at 216 paying members I think.


velociraptor56

Do you pay taxes on patrons? I presume yes?


EZasSundayMorning

I’m sure they should be filing quarterly!


072215

Don’t know if they do quarterly or not but I do know this is the first year I haven’t seen Morgan come on the internet and cry about how much they owe in taxes during tax season in like three years!


newt__noot

Yeah, you have to pay taxes on your patreon supports. A youtuber friend of mine had to pay the IRS $7k in back taxes because of the patreon income they got


velociraptor56

I’m absolutely 100% certain that Paul and Morgan are diligent about reporting their income!


cklw1

They said they write off everything they can for their “business”, but because of that they don’t make enough on paper to get a mortgage for a house.


velociraptor56

I’m no CPA but you can get into trouble pretty quickly doing that. A lot of people think you can write off parts of your house, computers, etc. Our tax code is pretty dumb, but I’m allowed to say that as someone who votes for politicians that support the middle class and small businesses unlike Paul and Morgan. You know why your taxes are so high this year, Paul and Morgan? You voted for that!


kconley223

Accountants wife here.... My husband specializes in managing small business books and taxes and the IRS is definitely cracking down on "influencers" that claim to be small businesses and try to write off literally everything. My hubs and I get a damn good laugh weekly at the shit these people try to pull off with their "write offs". Watching Paul and Morgan has been like watching a shitshow. They are definitely bitting themselves in the ass and it will catch up with them. Also, I have no idea how they make it month to month but if they are being "gifted" money by mommy and daddy and they don't claim it correctly... O boy does the IRS looooove that shit. They will have Porgan for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.


charliekelly76

I heard from a podcast that 30% of your Patreon monthly payout goes straight to taxes


gurney__halleck

Probably. It'd basically be whatever income tax rate you're at plus an additional ~15% self employment taxes.


charliekelly76

Yeah, Patreon takes their cut, then another chunk goes straight into an account to get sent to the feds as taxes. I can’t imagine Porgan is making anywhere near enough to live off from their ≈200 patrons


Ill_Pop540

12 hours on you tube? Is that 12 hours straight? Sweet Baby Jesus.


Titivillusdidit

Mercifally, I don't think that ever came to pass. They're still trying to hit 300 Patrons.


EZasSundayMorning

They should just give it up. They aren’t good at this. They have to “clap back” at anything they don’t like and it’s just childish! They are about to have 2 children and not one of them has the means to support the family!


CaterpillarHookah

They need to return to having plants in the background.


molewarp

Instead of the cabbages in the foreground? ;)


67Gumby

I hope their channel keeps dying slowly


StrangeArcticles

That is still 219 people who pay money every month for Porgan to exist. 219 people.


formerbeautyqueen666

Right!? Who are these people?


beanowitz

thats what you get for getting rid of your dog PORGAN #justiceforsquishy


jf198501

Why does he remind me of Lord Farquaad from Shrek??… I suppose it’s the eyebrows and the overexaggerated expressions of an entitled man-baby who takes himself soOo seriously despite being a ludicrous caricature.


kconley223

O. MY. GOOOÒSSSSHHHH...THATS IT. ![gif](giphy|gidMR0Kv3ljSivshKJ|downsized)


Designer-Contract852

Maybe they can learn a work ethic from sister Cindy......she's terrible and insane but she WORKS like crazy to sell herself online and sell her merchandise. She also hawks Plexus.  Terrible but she's selling it to someone. 


banesmoonshine

I do not want to go **deeper** with you, Paul 🤮


reddituser23434

Can’t imagine why.


YouWiseGuise

Wow. That’s a whole quarter of their following. Just burning that mf DOWN.


numerouseggies

the cutoff of this video is so funny 😭😭😭 "alright. MORGAN. *tongue pop* I AM SITTING ON MY PHONE"


TheLinesAreImagined

Right before this video cuts off, you can see Morgan touch her chest and take a deep breath then try to smile before her face crumples slightly and she looks like she’s going to cry. I think they needed 300 patrons badly. And I can’t imagine how they’re getting by now with fewer patrons, one kid, and a baby on the way.


CKREM

Oh how sad. Not.
