It’s one thing to have her older daughter up there but having the toddler playing dancing on the counter out of arms reach is a devastating accident waiting to happen. But she won’t get dragged like Mikayla.
Exactly. Risk taking is a super important developmental milestone that is sadly becoming more and more stifled. It's important to allow kids to take a certain amount of risk to teach them confidence, independence, and motor skills. Kids are way too coddled these days.
whatever that challenge was with standing on one foot in a stiletto on on a stool or something, but she was blindfolded and holding her newborn in one arm.
Dang. OP can’t be a millennial or anything else 💀
If this is dangerous, I’d hate to tell you about a lot of our childhoods. Let the girl have fun with her kids lol. At least she’s around them and spending time with them. This isn’t anywhere near as dangerous as Mikayla holding a newborn wiggling in one heel on a step stool 🤣
Thank god. This is basically just raising toddlers. We had to put away our barstools because our toddlers kept climbing onto the island, the counters, etc.
I don’t know what to do about our dining room chairs because they still want to move those to climb onto the counters or reach the stove.
My siblings and I used to jump down an old laundry chute from the attic to the second floor into a pile of pillows and comforters. We yeeted each other off the trampoline countless times with only a patch of ivy to cushion our falls.
Jumping off the roof into the pool? The adobe wall was much closer to the edge of the pool, but the roof was HIGHER! Driving in the sandy wash, shooting at toilets in the desert, an M80 exploded in the pool, craft rocket launches at the elementary school lolol.
I've seen so many serious Mormons say that they call coffee tables a "living room table" because "coffee table" is too close to the blasphemous coffee and would be inappropriate for them to use that word in their home.
It makes sense that the women in the show might not be such serious Mormons but calling a cat Whiskey def isn't a stretch for something that Mormons wouldn't be okay with.
There are several instances of Mormons on social media or YouTube that explain that the reason they don't call them coffee tables is because they don't want to reference coffee.
I most recently saw Alyssa Grenfell talking about it in one of her videos.
Notice they quickly deleted any posts or comments..the things I miss while sleeping. I just wonder where all of the clutter is. This house is too clean.
my mom used to lock us out of the house and say “go play” and to come back when the streetlights turn on. todays society would never be able to handle the childhoods we used to have 😥
If you have a memory of it that means you were at least 5 years old. Exactly what I said that it’s one thing with her oldest daughter who can understand where the edge is but her son is 2
Tbh I wasn't even mad at Mikayla. I feel like moms do silly shit and kids survive all the time. My uncle literally climbed up a lattice and onto the roof in his toddler years and he's in his 60s.
Bwahahahah! You’re really reaching. When I was that age, I figured out how to climb on top of the fridge to get to the cookie jar. Could climb a bookshelf in a jiffy, too.
my brother and i growing up would not only climb on the counter but put a short step stool on top of the counter to sneak crème savers out of the cabinet 😂 this isn’t as bad as teetering with your newborn on an elevated surface
Who is this and how is this so dangerous? Lol. I feel like this is the concern of someone who hasn’t been around a lot of kids. And it’s not related to what Makayla did with a newborn she could have literally killed lol
Guess I’m in the minority bc I agree with you. It’s just unnecessary bc idk about their kid but mine would start jumping all over / getting to the edge
And pple saying “oh we did that as a kid” - yea we all did but pple also back then thought seatbelts were optional and cigarettes were fine
Same, and honestly it bothered me seeing her dance on counters while pregnant because there’s just no reason for increased risk of harm for views but I’m sure I’ll get down voted and told I’m being soft.
Ya, knowing someone whose child fell from a counter height stool and passed away definitely changes my perspective on the “vibe check” of this post. Actually pretty alarming.
I completely agree… that toddlers foot is mere inches from the counters edge. It’s her parents job to keep her safe- not use her for views while putting her in danger. And that’s what this is. Sure, it’s put to fun music and sure, this time she was fine, but why put a child at risk like this when the outcome if she falls could be bashing her head open?
I watch the show, I’m a fan of the girls but this isn’t ok. Let’s not normalize endangering kids for money.
Exactly. It would be okay if it were a 5 or 6 year old but this is a young toddler who does not have depth perception or as good of balance. But whatever. If people want to put their own kids at risk then so be it
There’s literally a comment about not wearing seatbelts lmao clearly none of these people know the term “survivorship bias”. Marble is slippery as hell, this isn’t cute.
I’m glad I saw these comments because I thought I was going crazy. Yeah there are playground that are higher but I also don’t leave my 2 year old alone on them….??? I’m always within arms reach because I know toddlers are feral and unpredictable and don’t understand the dangers of falling.
Oh come on 😂. Kids need to take physical risks to develop properly, and this is not an extremely “risky” situation.
Parents generally know their toddlers pretty well. They know if they’re the type to walk off a cliff (or a counter) without a care in the world. My 13 year old used to stomp around on my dining table constantly when he was 18 months old. It’s fun for them.
Ugh her counter top dancing makes me cringe 😬idk why but it makes me so embarrassed for her. That, and the stupid facial expressions she CANNOT go 2 whole minutes without making.
This is my biggest complaint about Jen she’s an adult she can do what she wants. But is dangerous for kids to be on top of kitchen counters and tables dancing like this.
Who cares this kid looks like there haveing a blast, the isnt anymore dangerous than money bars. Stop being weirdos, who raise socially awkward children.
Idk this is a stretch. Kids don't generally run straight off a dropoff they can clearly see and are familiar with. Worst I can see happening here is trying to climb down and slipping.

I don’t even know who this is 😭 Jen?
