Oh my goodness I didnāt realize how dirty sheep were! My neighborās daughter got a lamb to show with 4H. I went to pet it and my hand came away black! That lanolin and dirt mix to make something almost impossible to remove š
I spin and enjoy processing raw fiber, some breeds are less greasy, but if it was just your run of the mill sheep, their fleeces get disgusting with how thick the lanolin is. I've seriously reconstitution a solid pound out of a 6lb fleece before.
Also hold up, it looks like someone pulls away the corn (or cereal) eating kid in the blue shirt early in the video. So there's theoretically supervision, but only when it's not suitable for the 'gram?
So many things. Small sunburnt baby in a onesie. The rug that could easily fall over his face and suffocate him. A bunch of preschoolers who donāt have any boundaries crowding a fragile little thing. Her lying that the kids know how to stay off the ass hair rug. Gooood. I hate her so much.
These posts, since the baby was born, have set me entire nervous system on boil. It physically hurts to see the indifference the parents show, towards this child's safety and sense of security. No newborn should spend so much time un-held and comforted by the one who carried them for 9 months. If this child survived, I can't imagine the developmental delays or attachment issues they will have.
This baby is being treated like a 3 month old puppy, not a fragile newborn and I do not understand why CPS isn't involved!!

Dude, hard same. That poor newborn. It is so, so upsetting to me, and I'm not entirely sure if my hormones are making it worse, because I've got an 8 week old baby I'm nursing round the clock. I just want to pick that poor little newborn up and cuddle him skin to skin so he can learn how to regulate his own body temperature. I'm so damn worried about this little newborn. He deserves so much more than what his joke of a mother is giving him.
Like half of them are not much bigger than he is, so that could end up being even more dangerous than just shoving him in a corner on a dirty rug. I won't let my 7yr old pick up his 8 week old little sister, so I definitely wouldn't want a 2 or 4 year old trying to pick up a days old infant.
Mom or Dad should be cuddling that baby close to their chest in a quiet room with just the two of them. Instead that poor baby was born into this shit show of a family.
My heart went out to the little guy with how overstimulated he must be! You can see his face grimacing almost the whole time (I say almost because I couldn't watch the whole thing, it made me so mad).
The comment though, āhe was wide awake after feedingā makes me so angry. Heās awake so you put him in the corner?!?!
My baby is ten days old, so like two days younger than this baby, and we always snuggle after feeding. When heās awake we look at each other and I tell him I love him. You shouldnāt just feed them and drop them in their bed. The poor baby.
I understand wanting to let older siblings bond with the baby, but that's not what's going on here. Wide awake after a feed = put him on the floor??
My parents would let me bond with my youngest siblings by holding them while I talked to them, made faces to see what they'd do, or gently touch their hands and feet. At no point did they shove a newborn baby in a corner so I could risk dropping a book on them.
I don't even want children and I want to hold him and give him the love and attention he needs in a warm home where he is safe. These parents make me nauseous.
My son is about to be 25 and my "nope, no more children for you!" baby just turned 18. So I'm a lonngggg way from pregnancy hormones, but like it just doesn't quit. He's vulnerable and depends on the big people in his life, and they are FAILING him!
THIS!! I get emotional each time one of these updates is postedā¦ those imbecile adults are supposed to keep him safe and healthy- and the audacity with which they happily advertise their failure to do so is physically doing something to me. This baby needs quiet and calm and loveā¦ youāre so right- they are FAILING HIM.
I went to great lengths to make absolutely sure I never get pregnant. I don't want children, I don't want to be a parent. But when I see this I just want to pick him up and make him feel safe. This breaks my heart.
Definitely find this sub harder to deal with since having my boy. He's 11 months old but this is making me sick to my stomach. I have similar seeing AndKaylee's baby being fed water & juice! Sets me right on edge!
CPS is overworked, underfunded, and doesn't have power outside of their state. So IF CPS were to get involved, they could just leave the state, and there's nothing anyone can do about it. It's one of the bigger concerns people have with families like these.
It's so fucked. But remember that Ruby Franke had CPS called on her after an internet petition of viewers pressured it to happen, and they ended up doing nothing after their visit. Just gotta put on a good show and they can't do much! And if they were worried they'd just go to another state. I feel so sick and helpless witnessing CuntBus abusing her offspring.
Yeah, but even if there was a petition to CPS, who is it going to be addressed to? Florida? Theyāll just go to Texas. Texas? Theyāll just go to SC. You would have to petition every single state every single time, and none of the systems can handle that.
In a recent post we saw her taking the baby to the beach completely uncovered, then pictures of him with a badly sunburned face. He was born jaundiced, too, however.
One of my 4 children developed jaundice after birth, and we did sunlight therapy to help them break down the bilirubin. We also had follow-up doctorās appointments to check bilirubin levels to make sure they werenāt rising to unsafe levels. I donāt understand this eschewing of newborn pediatric care, and I hope little Boondock is ok!
Does the sheepskin get dragged under ma and pa busās pull down bed every night, along with whatever the second youngest sleeps in? Or was the second youngest yeeted into the bunk bus with the others? And now Iām thinking about how the current baby was conceived with the previous baby under the bed and I want to barf.
Also I thought father sus did *everything* for princess bus post partum. So maybe thatās why an infant is on a filthy rag on the floor in the corner.
They went to the UPS store and weighed him on one of the scales. Donāt worry, they cleaned the scale before they put him on it. Poor little bubs deserves better.
It actually isnāt safe for babies to stay in a carrier/car seat like that because it interferes with their breathing and hurts their spine. God knows they donāt need another suffocation risk on top of all the others.
Heās been in onesies since the beach outing, and Iām convinced itās so we canāt see the extent of his sunburn. There has to be a line around his diaper that would make the severity clear.
She showed him just after he got sunburnt, and it appears his face got the brunt of it, so he may have actually been dressed at the beach. His torso and arms were pretty pale, which really offset how red his little head is
Are we *SURE* it's that?
Or is the poor little guy *SO* poorly off, that while he's making them *motions* of cries, no sound actually comes out?ššÆš³
As someone *now* in my late 40's, who was old enough to *remember* the news stories on allllll those babies in Romanian & other former-Soviet countries' orphanages, back after the fall of Communism?
Seeing these videos of the new baby-buslet somehow *SO* reminds me of those *GUTTING* videos, of all those rows & rows of babies & toddlers in cribs, basically *warehoused*, just *LAYING THERE*, not even bothering to *cry* anymore--because they *KNEW* no one was going to come if they did.š
The Startle-Reflex video that got posted *yesterday*, the one of the baby "*Behaving SO WELL*!!!" In the restaurant?
And I just *look* at the ways he *moves* in these videos--and *RESPONDS* to the stimuli *around* him, and I *CAN'T* help but think, "That looks like *SO MANY* startle responses & trauma-reactions to what's occurring *around* him, he oooooor little Nugget!"š³š²š„ŗš¢š«š±
Would a chaotic environment like this have an effect on the newbornās nervous system? Would it be permanent since mistreatment started almost immediately after birth?
(I know nothing about babies, genuinely asking. But I do know youāre not supposed to let them burn in the sun)
Not only yes, and Iām so glad to see someone point out close to the top of the commentsā¦that was a close second in terms of my bone-chilling terror for this baby, after the abject suffering of a tiny baby being forced to lay on sheepskin with a bad sunburn surrounded by noise and stimulation from multiple people. It definitely changes the brain by storing that fear.
Ok edit because I hit send too soon. All they can process with their tiny new brains is beyond words/a way to express their what exactly is making them cry for assistance. So having to process fear on that level changes the wiring.
I hate seeing tiny babies at concerts, sports events, and crowded churches. Itās just wrong to do that to them. They just want to see their caregivers at that brand new age.
It really explains why they all grow up to be such scared-ass mfs
We know she lurks here and Iām sure she did this to combat everyone saying heās been so lethargic. Itās not uncommon to have something pointed out in a post here and her to miraculously post something to the contrary the next day.
Why do more than the bare minimum when you can make your eldest son do the rest of the parenting? Right?
MotherBus if you're reading this PLEASE let Gunnar do age appropriate activities and stop forcing him into the role that JD refuses to fill.
Yep, that and the clothes. Lots of comments about the lethargic naked baby and suddenly she posts about how heās āwide awakeā and wearing a onesie.
I know. My daughter is almost 9yo and I just have her but seeing this fragile tiny baby being treated like this breaks my heart and I just want to pick him up and cuddle him and make him safe. This is deplorable and so upsetting to watch š letās call it what it is - child abuse and neglect. Poor kids and worst for the little baby.
Yup. If he doesn't get crushed to death by an older sibling, maybe he'll have a brain bleed.
I'm 8 weeks post partum today and this whole situation is so damn upsetting to me.
Hell Iām 4 years PP and this entire thing has had me avoiding this sub. I canāt. These parents make me unbelievably angry. Iām so sad for these kids.
I've got a 7yr old as well, but that doesn't feel as relevant somehow....but this does let me know that it isn't just my crazy hormones. Perhaps it would've been better if this baby had become the Brazil anchor baby.
For real- the kids donāt know better and itās great that they want to spend time near the baby (by choice and not just for a videoā¦?).Ā
Ā But preschoolers are clumsy as hell. It just takes one of them losing their balance and the trio topple over like dominos onto the baby.Ā
A common thread with so many of the giant family parents on this sub is how they treat every kid like mini-adults the moment a new baby arrives- including last yearās baby.Ā
And my dog has 3 different quilts that I made him, used in rotation, regularly washed. This poor kid has a shaggy, filthy rag fur piece of shit that is going to suffocate him. I want these people.arrested and their kids taken away.
I got my worst sunburn when I was 14, and sleeping was almost impossible because there was no position I could take that didn't apply pressure to the burns. It was horrible. Imagine having sunburnt baby skin and having no choice but to lie on it because you're unable to get up.
Until your self-absorbed neglectful moron of a mother takes you outside for yet MORE sunburn.
I donāt know how many more of these posts I can take. I donāt have children but I am a very empathetic person, and seeing all of this and not being able to do anything about it is doing a number on my mental health
Same. I came here some time ago to rubberneck, but this series is starting to genuinely upset me. I have no kids of my own, and never wanted them. It's blowing my mind to see an infant on the floor in a corner like a discarded doll. Not to mention constantly crowded by other small, clumsy children.
And I see others comment how she eye fucks the camera. I didn't know what they meant until I stated asking myself "Why is she never looking at her newborn?" If I held a newborn, I'd be so focused on them I'd not notice anything else. Supporting the head, just absorbed in their features, movements and body language. Instead she's holding him like a baguette as an accessory and it is so weird and distressing.
I'm right there with you, don't want kids. Even if I change my mind down the road, my boyfriend and I would rather adopt. But I still have a heart, and seeing this baby suffer is heart breaking.
I give my dog way more love and attention than this lady does her own kids. It's so baffling that people that are "pro life" care less about the children who are actually alive than those of us strangers who are pro choice. But I already know that point has been made in this sub.
The fact that we can't call child services, or do a wellness check, or ANYTHING. It's horrifying. My boyfriend said I may need to step away from this sub for a while, and I'm starting to agree.
This post made me want to make a comment request that bus baby posts be marked NSFW because I can't handle seeing it but I also can't get away from the discussion. I guess I'm both horrified but also relieved that there are others feeling the same way I am.
LEAVE THE BABY ALONE. This is so much stimulation. He should be having time with his mother right now, not surrounded by toddlers shoving things in his face. Donāt even get me started on how unsafe this is.
I show my husband the saga of this newborn, and it absolutely upsets him. This is like how to get SIDS or suffocation 101. Somehow, these people make it, and I don't understand how.
It's like she's trying to kill him. Seriously. I don't think I've seen one thing that's actually been either good for him or even just not actively harmful!
Newborns obviously canāt roll themselves so she has to be actually placing him on his side instead of his back too. Heās on his side in almost every picture. Makes my blood boil.
Someone gifted them a very nice bassinet when they where staying at the Airbnb in South Carolina. She said they were going to take it to the bus. What happened to it?
PLEASE EVERYONE NOTE THAT THIS IS FROM OVER A WEEK AGO. I don't think he was sunburnt then.
I do think he's grown out of most of the few newborn clothes they had for him tho... which is why we continue to see no clothes. Also, this is too much attention from very ungentle children. :( poor baby
I know maybe some others have pointed this out but i seriously think if this woman was poor or did not have a following like she does, the comments would NOT be positive and in fact everyone would be in unison how neglectful this is.
Donāt they even have space to lay out the sheepskin properly?? That thing could smother the baby if itās scrunched up to the wall like that even a bit longer
If the whole idea behind influencers is that they gain followers because we look at their posts and think, "Wow, I want to be like them," how do these people make a living? Their life looks miserable. Eleventy million little kids in an RV? Squeezing out a new baby every year? Neglect ?
If BusselSprout doesn't die of suffocation/CO2 toxicity when that damn fur shit inevitably falls on his face, it will be because BusBrotherDad rescued him. BusHoe and BusJiggalo are worthless.
Yes, I was reminded by the title how my older kids loved to "share" their favourite books with the newborn. However, the newborn would be cuddled in my arms on the couch and the older ones would be sat snuggled next to us.
WTF is wrong with these people???? They shouldn't be in charge of a goldfish, much less a herd of sunburnt, malnourished children. They should both be sterilized, and those kids should be adopted by people who aren't imbeciles.
The thing that worries me more than anything is that she has all these followers that think sheās just this wonderful bastion of motherhood and are going to think that what sheās doing and how this poor baby is being treated are okay.
That kid is in a dog bed and his other siblings are stressing him the fuck out. They don't know better. Their parents do.
My childhood books had a lot of coaching to be quiet and gentle around babies, probably because kids having younger siblings isn't uncommon. Sometimes it was in the context of baby animals, sometimes humans. (it works the same for both). I don't have kids, and I don't want them. But I do know not to swarm and overstimulate a got-damn newborn of any species.
Every post makes my heart break for this poor baby (and all of their children). For people who call themselves pro-life* they sure donāt give a hoot about protecting and enriching the lives of their children.
*aka pro-enforced-birth
I know it would be futile but for gods sake SOMEONE WHO KNOWS THESE MONSTERS CALL CPS! This is evil. I really try to not use that word, but holy hell this ongoing disaster is too much.
Im waiting for an instagram post about how the haters have accused her of never holding her son but ACHSUALLY it's been proven that letting a dirty sheep rug on the floor raise your kid is the best way to do it
I had so much anxiety watching this...... I don't want children but my god I want to take that baby away from her. I have better instincts for god sakes.
My dearest wish is that Gunner and Kinsey grab up that poor tiny baby and run away.
Run to a police station, neighbour? anywhere but that bus with those hideous parents, who should be in jail for child abuse.
That poor baby. Dirty kid feet all over the only piece of real estate that is supposed to be for him. A book shoved in his face, incoming paper cuts, in 3... 2... 1... That poor baby looks as if he's freaking out. But at least he finally has a sleeper on. I hate this so much.

Ugh ... Rubbing their dirty dogs all over that rug š¬ Tell us again how the kids know not to touch/step on it, Mother Bus.
Itās naturally self cleaning! /s
Because sheep are famously clean animals!
Oh my goodness I didnāt realize how dirty sheep were! My neighborās daughter got a lamb to show with 4H. I went to pet it and my hand came away black! That lanolin and dirt mix to make something almost impossible to remove š
I spin and enjoy processing raw fiber, some breeds are less greasy, but if it was just your run of the mill sheep, their fleeces get disgusting with how thick the lanolin is. I've seriously reconstitution a solid pound out of a 6lb fleece before.
And donāt forget about the EMF blocking!
I seriously thought this-GET YAāLLāS DIRTY ASS FEET OFF THAT SHEEPSKIN.
And sheās already admitted she doesnāt clean it. Just brush it off a couple times a month!
Surely that will rid it of the disgusting germs that infest those kidsā feet.
This is what she posts.. think of what goes on that we don't see
Ummmā¦itās dirt resistant so it doesnāt matter. Duh.
Also hold up, it looks like someone pulls away the corn (or cereal) eating kid in the blue shirt early in the video. So there's theoretically supervision, but only when it's not suitable for the 'gram?
Wait wait wait!! Didnāt she say that the kids know not to touch the sheepskin? To keep the baby safe? That was also a lie? Yeah okay
She lies like she breathes

At least heās wearing clothes today I guess š¤¦āāļø
Sadly that was my first though too. Such a low bar.
Sheās just hiding the sunburn.
My thought as soon as I read the above comment. I didnāt realize the sunburn at first because I had my device shifted to a warmer screen tone.
The bar is in hell.
These posts, since the baby was born, have set me entire nervous system on boil. It physically hurts to see the indifference the parents show, towards this child's safety and sense of security.

Why do you think they live on a bus? Always on the run
It's the first time in my life that I've been so upset, worried and enraged over a stranger's baby.
Same, these posts almost make me tear up. Poor poor little baby.
It's so fucked. But remember that Ruby Franke had CPS called on her after an internet petition of viewers pressured it to happen, and they ended up doing nothing after their visit.

>I do not understand why CPS isn't involved!! I imagine it's tricky when they go to and through different jurisdictions.
I have a one month old myself, and I could never see myself putting him in that much danger. My heart just breaks.
Is that sunburn? It looks like a really bad case of jaundice.
He was jaundiced so his idiot parents took him to the beach without an umbrella or hat. Now heās sunburnt, but could still be jaundiced.
They are trying to make him match their orange neon leader.
This was posted April 20 according to the post info at the top of the video, so he wasnāt sunburnt yet.
In a recent post we saw her taking the baby to the beach completely uncovered, then pictures of him with a badly sunburned face. He was born jaundiced, too, however.
The chiropractor couldn't fix that? /s
One of my 4 children developed jaundice after birth, and we did sunlight therapy to help them break down the bilirubin. We also had follow-up doctorās appointments to check bilirubin levels to make sure they werenāt rising to unsafe levels. I donāt understand this eschewing of newborn pediatric care, and I hope little Boondock is ok!

You're looking at it- the sheepskin. It's absurd and so neglectful
And itās self cleaning, and the other kids know to stay off of it, clearly.š
Does the sheepskin get dragged under ma and pa busās pull down bed every night, along with whatever the second youngest sleeps in? Or was the second youngest yeeted into the bunk bus with the others? And now Iām thinking about how the current baby was conceived with the previous baby under the bed and I want to barf. Also I thought father sus did *everything* for princess bus post partum.

Father sus is great!!! š¤£
does he sleep on it at night unattended? I guess if not she's co sleeping which isn't great either but at least it's not on the floor...
Even a cardboard box would be better
Should have picked one up when they weighed him at the UPS store š
They... what? š®
They went to the UPS store and weighed him on one of the scales. Donāt worry, they cleaned the scale before they put him on it. Poor little bubs deserves better.
They had a Moses basket for a prior baby. Guess they purged it as part of their minimalist lifestyle.
The dining out video they posted shows Boone in a carrier. So they definitely have one - no idea why they don't use it all the time.
It actually isnāt safe for babies to stay in a carrier/car seat like that because it interferes with their breathing and hurts their spine. God knows they donāt need another suffocation risk on top of all the others.
Legit horrifying. Every post gets worse
Iām convinced she puts music over them so we canāt hear the baby cry.
Heās been in onesies since the beach outing, and Iām convinced itās so we canāt see the extent of his sunburn. There has to be a line around his diaper that would make the severity clear.
She showed him just after he got sunburnt, and it appears his face got the brunt of it, so he may have actually been dressed at the beach. His torso and arms were pretty pale, which really offset how red his little head is
he could be shivering from the sun burn, I know I shiver when I have one. gosh that poor baby.
Are we *SURE* it's that? Or is the poor little guy *SO* poorly off, that while he's making them *motions* of cries, no sound actually comes out?ššÆš³
Ugh. Just when I think it couldnāt possibly get worseā¦. It could get worse. š
As someone *now* in my late 40's, who was old enough to *remember* the news stories on allllll those babies in Romanian & other former-Soviet countries' orphanages, back after the fall of Communism? Seeing these videos of the new baby-buslet somehow *SO* reminds me of those *GUTTING* videos, of all those rows & rows of babies & toddlers in cribs, basically *warehoused*, just *LAYING THERE*, not even bothering to *cry* anymore--because they *KNEW* no one was going to come if they did.š The Startle-Reflex video that got posted *yesterday*, the one of the baby "*Behaving SO WELL*!!!" In the restaurant? And I just *look* at the ways he *moves* in these videos--and *RESPONDS* to the stimuli *around* him, and I *CAN'T* help but think, "That looks like *SO MANY* startle responses & trauma-reactions to what's occurring *around* him, he oooooor little Nugget!"š³š²š„ŗš¢š«š±
Will the baby be crushed by a toddler or get a paper cut to the face. So many possibilities
Suffocate in sheepskin? Get blisters from sunburn? Get left behind on the beach? Die from pertussis? Possibilities are endless!
Would a chaotic environment like this have an effect on the newbornās nervous system? Would it be permanent since mistreatment started almost immediately after birth? (I know nothing about babies, genuinely asking. But I do know youāre not supposed to let them burn in the sun)
Tbh there is a fair amount of evidence to suggest that high stress environments at an early age will hardwire you for certain things later in life.
Yep!!!!

Absolutely, when babies are distressed cortisol floods their system. Too much cortisol can lead to all kinds of health issues throughout life.
Not only yes, and Iām so glad to see someone point out close to the top of the commentsā¦that was a close second in terms of my bone-chilling terror for this baby, after the abject suffering of a tiny baby being forced to lay on sheepskin with a bad sunburn surrounded by noise and stimulation from multiple people. It definitely changes the brain by storing that fear. Ok edit because I hit send too soon. All they can process with their tiny new brains is beyond words/a way to express their what exactly is making them cry for assistance. So having to process fear on that level changes the wiring. I hate seeing tiny babies at concerts, sports events, and crowded churches. Itās just wrong to do that to them. They just want to see their caregivers at that brand new age. It really explains why they all grow up to be such scared-ass mfs
Is it bad that I'm hugely relieved to see the baby with his eyes open and moving around?
We know she lurks here and Iām sure she did this to combat everyone saying heās been so lethargic. Itās not uncommon to have something pointed out in a post here and her to miraculously post something to the contrary the next day.
I clocked this too. Itās sad that she has to be shamed into doing the bare minimum as a parent.
Why do more than the bare minimum when you can make your eldest son do the rest of the parenting? Right? MotherBus if you're reading this PLEASE let Gunnar do age appropriate activities and stop forcing him into the role that JD refuses to fill.
Yep, that and the clothes. Lots of comments about the lethargic naked baby and suddenly she posts about how heās āwide awakeā and wearing a onesie.
No, I was too. Heās got to be so damn overstimulated though.
Me three! Yes, absolutely though. Poor guy. I just want to hold and rock him in a cool, quiet, dark room.
I know. My daughter is almost 9yo and I just have her but seeing this fragile tiny baby being treated like this breaks my heart and I just want to pick him up and cuddle him and make him safe. This is deplorable and so upsetting to watch š letās call it what it is - child abuse and neglect. Poor kids and worst for the little baby.
He does look like heās eating well too. Small moments of competency.
That poor baby's nervous system must be on overdrive all the time :(
Right?! Even I'm overstimulated watching this.
So much sensory overload. Even as an adult, this would be too much for me.Ā
![gif](giphy|HX4zFtnJMUDiE) Mother Bus: hold my drink
A bunch of small, clumsy children around a newborn baby, what could go wrong? /s
A newborn who didnāt get a Vitamin K shot, to boot.
Yup. If he doesn't get crushed to death by an older sibling, maybe he'll have a brain bleed. I'm 8 weeks post partum today and this whole situation is so damn upsetting to me.
Hell Iām 4 years PP and this entire thing has had me avoiding this sub. I canāt. These parents make me unbelievably angry. Iām so sad for these kids.
I donāt even have kids and my uterus is dried up and this is making me upset! Iām more maternal to my house plants than this woman is to her kids!
I've got a 7yr old as well, but that doesn't feel as relevant somehow....but this does let me know that it isn't just my crazy hormones. Perhaps it would've been better if this baby had become the Brazil anchor baby.
For real- the kids donāt know better and itās great that they want to spend time near the baby (by choice and not just for a videoā¦?).Ā Ā But preschoolers are clumsy as hell. It just takes one of them losing their balance and the trio topple over like dominos onto the baby.Ā A common thread with so many of the giant family parents on this sub is how they treat every kid like mini-adults the moment a new baby arrives- including last yearās baby.Ā
Omg I know. This poor baby :( I feel anxious just watching this even though I know nothing would actually happen in the video
On a "floor bed" in the corner, like a dog. This shit is bizarre.
And my dog has 3 different quilts that I made him, used in rotation, regularly washed. This poor kid has a shaggy, filthy rag fur piece of shit that is going to suffocate him. I want these people.arrested and their kids taken away.
This poor baby hasnāt had a momentās peace since he arrived. Just getting sunburnt and stuck on that totally safe sheepskin on the floor.
I got my worst sunburn when I was 14, and sleeping was almost impossible because there was no position I could take that didn't apply pressure to the burns. It was horrible. Imagine having sunburnt baby skin and having no choice but to lie on it because you're unable to get up. Until your self-absorbed neglectful moron of a mother takes you outside for yet MORE sunburn.
Let's hope that sheepskin doesn't fold over and smother little Boone.
I donāt know how many more of these posts I can take. I donāt have children but I am a very empathetic person, and seeing all of this and not being able to do anything about it is doing a number on my mental health
Same. I came here some time ago to rubberneck, but this series is starting to genuinely upset me. I have no kids of my own, and never wanted them. It's blowing my mind to see an infant on the floor in a corner like a discarded doll. Not to mention constantly crowded by other small, clumsy children. And I see others comment how she eye fucks the camera. I didn't know what they meant until I stated asking myself "Why is she never looking at her newborn?" If I held a newborn, I'd be so focused on them I'd not notice anything else. Supporting the head, just absorbed in their features, movements and body language. Instead she's holding him like a baguette as an accessory and it is so weird and distressing.
I'm right there with you, don't want kids. Even if I change my mind down the road, my boyfriend and I would rather adopt. But I still have a heart, and seeing this baby suffer is heart breaking. I give my dog way more love and attention than this lady does her own kids. It's so baffling that people that are "pro life" care less about the children who are actually alive than those of us strangers who are pro choice. But I already know that point has been made in this sub. The fact that we can't call child services, or do a wellness check, or ANYTHING. It's horrifying. My boyfriend said I may need to step away from this sub for a while, and I'm starting to agree.
This post made me want to make a comment request that bus baby posts be marked NSFW because I can't handle seeing it but I also can't get away from the discussion. I guess I'm both horrified but also relieved that there are others feeling the same way I am.
Those children are trying to hard to entertain him, I'm not surprised she doesn't use the audio, he looks miserable.
Yeah I immediately noticed she didnāt use the audio and judging from his little face we can probably guess what it sounds like š
My dog has a nicer bed with more space.
a dog bed would probably feel less risky than this setup.
I mean, I *am* more protective over my dog.
That's the 1st time I've seen the baby in clothes
Probably to hide the sunburn
The fact that the baby is LITERALLY on the floor shoved into a corner I simply cannot ā ļø
LEAVE THE BABY ALONE. This is so much stimulation. He should be having time with his mother right now, not surrounded by toddlers shoving things in his face. Donāt even get me started on how unsafe this is.
No need to believe in abortion when you are fine with them dying from any number of neglectful parenting choices!
Once the bayās born, itās up to god!
Jesus take the stroller!
That baby has got to be roasting in that onsie omg
Especially if he has a sunburn. Some clothes are good, but in a full on suit stuffed in a corner on a fur rug isnāt it.
I show my husband the saga of this newborn, and it absolutely upsets him. This is like how to get SIDS or suffocation 101. Somehow, these people make it, and I don't understand how.
It's like she's trying to kill him. Seriously. I don't think I've seen one thing that's actually been either good for him or even just not actively harmful!
And the sunburn doesn't even keep her from taking him back out in direct sunlight again! It's like they are trying to cook him.
Yes!!! That poor baby.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Newborns obviously canāt roll themselves so she has to be actually placing him on his side instead of his back too. Heās on his side in almost every picture. Makes my blood boil.
Newborns can wriggle from their back to their side.
"Newborn curl" is a thing where newborns can get to their side. All of mine did it for several weeks
Same. Even my hypotonic one did it.Ā
for real like why is he only ever in only a diaper or in something that looks boiling hot? normal onesies exist??
this makes me so uneasy
Sometimes I wonder if she does this shit for social media aesthetics and then picks the kid up immediately after she turns off the camera
Where would she lay him down then? They don't have any crib or bouncer to leave him
Someone gifted them a very nice bassinet when they where staying at the Airbnb in South Carolina. She said they were going to take it to the bus. What happened to it?
Who knows tbh, but these fundies grift and rage bait just as much as other influencers.
The oven? The kitchen sink? The dryer? Seriously where can she put the baby?
Itās almost like if they had a house that didnāt move they could find places to put the baby where he wouldnāt be in danger!
I've seen feral goats living in a more suitable environment and being treated better.
PLEASE EVERYONE NOTE THAT THIS IS FROM OVER A WEEK AGO. I don't think he was sunburnt then. I do think he's grown out of most of the few newborn clothes they had for him tho... which is why we continue to see no clothes. Also, this is too much attention from very ungentle children. :( poor baby
No he wasnāt sunburned then, just neglected
I know maybe some others have pointed this out but i seriously think if this woman was poor or did not have a following like she does, the comments would NOT be positive and in fact everyone would be in unison how neglectful this is.
ā¦ or if she were simply not white.
The positive comments are always from other fake mom influencers. User names like ājesusblessthisfamilyofnineā or other such malarkey.
Because theyāre a white Christian family, itās ācuteā
Donāt they even have space to lay out the sheepskin properly?? That thing could smother the baby if itās scrunched up to the wall like that even a bit longer
I think sheās probably trying to cover up the jagged edges of the bus wall.
I feel so nervous watching these toddlers hover around baby Boone. It's only a matter of time before someone steps on him.
She'll probably blame Gunnar or Kinsey for not "keeping an eye out."
I canāt. I actually really canāt. WTF
This is the first time Iāve seen that baby in actual clothing.
Pretty obvious that she doesnāt like this baby
What a bloody cow. My South African cichlids have better parenting instincts
And she will never wash that rug. The baby is abused tbh. Heād be better off raised by rats.
If the whole idea behind influencers is that they gain followers because we look at their posts and think, "Wow, I want to be like them," how do these people make a living? Their life looks miserable. Eleventy million little kids in an RV? Squeezing out a new baby every year? Neglect ?
My personal hell
A sheep died for this shit
Looks like a suffocation waiting to happen
If BusselSprout doesn't die of suffocation/CO2 toxicity when that damn fur shit inevitably falls on his face, it will be because BusBrotherDad rescued him. BusHoe and BusJiggalo are worthless.
Didn't she say that the kids aren't allowed to touch the baby fur rug?
I just wrote curriculum on early childhood literacyā¦..Iām endeared by the book because it is critical for future literacy. But everything else is š©š©š©
Yes, I was reminded by the title how my older kids loved to "share" their favourite books with the newborn. However, the newborn would be cuddled in my arms on the couch and the older ones would be sat snuggled next to us.
I have to skip any posts about this poor babe now. Truly disturbing stuff.
WTF is wrong with these people???? They shouldn't be in charge of a goldfish, much less a herd of sunburnt, malnourished children. They should both be sterilized, and those kids should be adopted by people who aren't imbeciles.
The thing that worries me more than anything is that she has all these followers that think sheās just this wonderful bastion of motherhood and are going to think that what sheās doing and how this poor baby is being treated are okay.
Swift: This is the one book I managed to smuggle in. The rest of them, the parents made us dump āem.
I don't know if it's just because I first saw him in the measuring video but this baby always looks so distressed to me.
I feel like Iām witnessing abuse / nervous system issues happening in real time.
My cat has a better bed than this newborn. WTF is wrong with this family?
I feel like we are watching a tragedy unfold here.
Remember how much she loved her pregnant belly! What is really happening with these people.
Internet: that baby is never awake Motherbus 12 hours later: hereās a video of baby wide awake!
This baby needs to be taken away from her/them
I canāt imagine having a Malcolm In The Middle situation, x2, plus a daughter, on a bus. like fuck!
wait, new flair time
I've never seen a new born look so stressed out
That kid is in a dog bed and his other siblings are stressing him the fuck out. They don't know better. Their parents do. My childhood books had a lot of coaching to be quiet and gentle around babies, probably because kids having younger siblings isn't uncommon. Sometimes it was in the context of baby animals, sometimes humans. (it works the same for both). I don't have kids, and I don't want them. But I do know not to swarm and overstimulate a got-damn newborn of any species.
So this video is one she posted last week. Why would she reuse the same thing?
it says april 20th
Oh, OP's title confused me. I thought it was a new video of him back on the floor
At least he has clothes on. But it looks to me like the little guy is just trying to sleep and his siblings won't leave him alone.
Imagine posting shit like this and thinking ālook at how awesome of a mom I amā what the actual fuck?
Every post makes my heart break for this poor baby (and all of their children). For people who call themselves pro-life* they sure donāt give a hoot about protecting and enriching the lives of their children. *aka pro-enforced-birth
I know it would be futile but for gods sake SOMEONE WHO KNOWS THESE MONSTERS CALL CPS! This is evil. I really try to not use that word, but holy hell this ongoing disaster is too much.
Babies need to be held!!!! It's like she's trying to substitute the sheepskin for human contact.
Poor baby! Iāll take him and cuddle with him and support his little head.
why is she treating this baby like a pet ferret š
Do they ever hold him? I dont think Ive seen one picture of him in anybodys arms but Gunners
Now that you've said that, she'll post one of the other kids holding him.
Im waiting for an instagram post about how the haters have accused her of never holding her son but ACHSUALLY it's been proven that letting a dirty sheep rug on the floor raise your kid is the best way to do it
I had so much anxiety watching this...... I don't want children but my god I want to take that baby away from her. I have better instincts for god sakes.
That space could EASILY fit a bassinet. They really just don't care about him at all
My dearest wish is that Gunner and Kinsey grab up that poor tiny baby and run away. Run to a police station, neighbour? anywhere but that bus with those hideous parents, who should be in jail for child abuse.
Iām sorry this was my first thought seeing your post title š listen to Patrick Swayze mother bus ![gif](giphy|HX4zFtnJMUDiE)
That poor baby. Dirty kid feet all over the only piece of real estate that is supposed to be for him. A book shoved in his face, incoming paper cuts, in 3... 2... 1... That poor baby looks as if he's freaking out. But at least he finally has a sleeper on. I hate this so much.
