He is the son of a CEO. He is a rich boy so he probably grew up with a maid and a nanny and a cook and it’s just so interesting that he cannot extend to her the woman that he’s supposedly in love with the same help that his mother was offered.
He could have given her the trip to Greece that she was longing for, instead, he ridiculed her with that egg collecting apron. How sad this was to watch. He doesn’t love her. That life could be so much more with a loving man.
A decent rich man would have given her the apron with a ticket to Greece in one pocket and a bunch of other holiday related things in some of the others. And hey since he's so wealthy he could add a diamond bracelet or something.
My art teacher who owns a painting club married a wealthy man just as she graduated out of one of the most prestigious art schools in our country. She started having children and quickly got depressed. She said she was in a horrible mental space and was mentally and physically exhausted from the housework. Her husband got a nanny to help with the kids , opened a painting club to teach adults, put it in her name and financed several art galleries tht she did abroad. Now she is one of the most known young artists in our country and she is a great mom. tht's becoz her husband actually loves her- This lady was always supposed to be the pretty wife. She's not allowed to be anything else-She's not allowed rest or a vacation for her. She's not allowed to be human. That's not love. The only wealth tht woman has is in her kids. I hope they appreciate their mom and show her gratitude for the sacrifices she made as they grow up.
Controlling money is part of an abusive relationship...if she decides to leave she'll never see her children again. No matter what she does his family will always be able to buy a better lawyer and it only takes months to lie to her children and turn them against her forever. He married her as fast as he could so she wouldn't see his real personality until it was too late. You can't make a trad man happy, no matter what you do, how much you do, how much you give. She's stuck because she loves her children and he made sure she'd get pregnant as soon as he could. People in abusive relationships will often defend their significant other to convince themselves and because subconsciously they understand there will be consequences if they don't. A healthy relationship doesn't need to designate one person or the other as "in charge", you work together and both care about the other person feeling happy and fulfilled. Families are work, but if it's not as much fun as work you're doing it wrong.
This exactly happened to my sister. They moved states to be near us but he isolates her and doesn’t let her spend money unless he’s at the store with her or, with what money he gives her. She used to be in an abusive relationship and found her husband while going through a bad break up. Now he keeps her home barefoot and pregnant. Men like this disgust me.
This is a super Mormon farm family..far from a typical trad fam. The typical traditional man is the easiest man to make happy !! Also, traditional families have the husband leading* not controlling.
I caught that too! Sent chills down my spine! He said it so she couldn’t hear him too…which makes it that much worse! Wait til she sees it! Then he’ll guilt trip her for not being overjoyed by an egg apron.
@@oldsoulhomestead89that’s how abusers cover their behavior. She’s catch it when she sees the video & he’ll gaslight her by saying, “I meant it took a long time to get here”
If you watched them at all you would know about Daniel's dry sense of humor and Hannah is a big girl if she was being treated badly she would leave and take her kids. Get a fucking life.
There's so much in their relationship that stands out to me as WAVING red flags. The plane story is a cute 'how we met' until he reveals he orchestrated it all. Imagine the same story from the perspective of someone who wasn't receptive to his advances - being forced to share an armrest with someone actively trying to hit on you for multiple hours straight, with nowhere else to go, would be a nightmare. And saying that it was either the fast track or nothing when it came to marriage was active coercion; he was saying he'd end the relationship if she didn't agree to his proposal. To say nothing of how she only seems to speak freely when she's out from under his supervision...I get people wanting to defend SAHM lifestyles but this ain't the example to look up to - this is like textbook abusive relationship behavior. And the sad part is he's probably gotten away with it his whole life because of his family's wealth, and he'll continue to do so.
@@unicornL And now he won't even spend $20 on her birthday present, so 'good joke' in that regard. You can excuse her actions as being a 20-year-old who was star-struck by a rich guy showing up and suddenly showering her in attention like something out of a romance novel. You can't excuse any of his because it sounds like he knew EXACTLY the dynamic he wanted to recreate all along. I mean, he makes her stick to a baby-making schedule, this is probably quite literally a fetish for him.
@@unicornLwealth is all well and good if you have control over it. Her husband controls the money. Can she pay for a nanny or just get her mum to babysit so she can have a holiday in Greece nope ,is she free to go anywhere without his permission or supervision nope,can she access contraception,choose to have a hospital birth get a job do a course,divorce him whilst maintaining her own safety?
yeah what do you expect. hes a massive nepo baby, who was never told no. so when she did he stalked her, and basically forced the relationship. and that never being told no doesnt end there. its obvious their entire life is what he wants, not her.
I didn't really feel bad for her until her birthday gift. That just proves how unappreciated and unvalued she is to him. If he was willing to let the world see that it kind of shows that their realationship is ajoke in his eyes. He probably watches that with his billionaire buddies and laughs
@@omotayosatuyi252 that's nice n all. Not really in a birthday gift kinda way. That's an on a random day " hey babe, I thought you'd like this to make your job easier so I ordered it for you because I'm a nice husband and see how hard you work" gift. Not a " I see you could really use a break and wanted to do something nice for your birthday " kinda gift.
@@Realist_Surrealist I think you are only thinking about this on a surface level if someone excitedly " oh my this" or oh my that, do you not think they were expecting to get the gift meaning they would probably be happy that you put the time in to get the gift
It doesn't take 2 to tango if 1 is brazen enough to sneak attack a date, he is more than capable of other cruel things....Just saying. And just because she has kids doesn't mean she isn't trapped. And just because she has money, doesn't mean she access to any of it. And just because she is white and beautiful, doesn't mean she can never be a victim.
I would be very surprised if he did not tamper with her birth control with the first kid especially.. she didn't even want to get married so fast let alone get pregnant while in school.
Also has anyone heard the story of the South Korean UA-camr who was forced to make Mukbang videos for 4 years and beaten daily by her boyfriend. BTW, he allso created a media entertainment company to steal her earnings. Yeah it's possible!
It started as a love story with a Millionaire... Who very slowly but very surely trapped his Wife and made her his indentured servant. He built his trap, one child at the time. She is His slave, does ALL the work, too much for a regular Woman, forget a Woman who has given birth to 8 children! Then she has everything in-house, great!... You might think... but that means she doesn't get to even see other adults... ever! Yes, the kids are cute but it's hard to have a fulfilling conversation with a child of any age. 8 kids?! Absolutely not. 🤣
The hub said you’re welcome before she said thank you. My ex hubs used to do that. He didn’t t care if I said thank you or not. He turned out to be a narcissist sociopath
@AllisonFields that moment was so telling! He is not interested in whether she appreciates the apron - he TELLS her to appreciate it. He has zero interest in her wishes and her feelings about being ignored.
I truly think she is a victim of reproductive coercion (as well as him literally targeting her specifically). From that one video of her receiving that apron, also the NYT interview, it says SO much. I wouldn’t be surprised if he is emotionally, verbally, and psychologically abusive to her. The condescending and entitled way he says “you’re welcome” 😒 I’m sure he negs and nitpicks passive aggressively a lot with her. He saw someone successful and full of light and set his eyes to trap and hide her away so she can be accessible to him and only him, and only to others under limited and supervised circumstances under his eye. Men can truly be sinister when it comes to plucking a beautiful and bright woman from her element and dimming her light.
Wow, this part: "set his eyes to trap and hide her away so she can be accessible to him and only him, and only to others under limited and supervised circumstances under his eye." I've noticed this happening in a few of my friends' relationships and it was almost always with rich men.
@@neonred7594 isolation is the very first thing men try to do to women before any sort of abuse starts. Along with limiting time/access to them in regards to friends/family. It will cause contention to the point the man will convince the woman “your friends family want us apart, they don’t understand us, they’re jealous of you” then a rift is created. After that the women will cling more to him, and when the abuse starts she will have nowhere to go (especially if he severed ties or caused her to burn bridges with a solid support system) very sinister and manipulative
She’s basically the ballerina in a jewelry box, beautifully tragic because she’s trapped spinning in circles forever. Men who are that attracted to that light in women, that passion and drive women with a dream have, can be so dangerous based on their motives. Some want to bask in it, this man wanted to slowly snuff it out. He wanted to and made moves to break her at every turn, to me I’d rather be dead than have this. I’m not even judging tradwives, if you’re in a healthy relationship and choose that good on you… this is so clearly not that
I walked away from a cult at a young age and didn't know it was a cult until I was 29. I'm so lucky I didn't trust my family and that since they treated me poorly I decided to go no contact.
21:48 Exactly. The people not seeing the red flags that Hannah could be a victim have never been with a toxic person, it's not as simple as "just leave.". That sneaks up on you, and even friends and family telling you he's bad news is enough to break those rose colored classes. I obviously don't know if she's truly happy or not, it's the internet, but the red flags are there.
Being a SAHM was the greatest achievement of my life. I worked part time, but only when my husband was able to take care of our child. That child is now 26, and I’m a “lady of leisure”, and I love it. Work sucks. Edit: My husband would be alone-and possibly injured-in a hot second if he gave me an apron for a gift.
Your comment made my day. It spoke from my heart. This is my wish for me. I want to be a mother whos stays home and raises healthy children. Menatally and physically. ❤
The "Edit" is the most important part here. I'm glad it was your choice and you are happy with it. As a 26 year old woman who had an absolutely miserable SAHM (her choice but she hated it), I now have a broader perspective that yes, some women actually really do enjoy that life and that is okay! My dad was supportive of my mom staying or working, so her misery and hate for working women was truly her problem. If I grew up with a SAHM who loved being a SAHM and put her heart into it, I would have had a lot less internalized misogyny I had to shed over the years. And you'd be valid in your anger with the apron thing if that were to have happened to you too lol.
21:33 She did make those choices, but even determined people can crumble when they are pressured on all fronts by people they trust or love. There are consequences for not standing your ground sooner, and it's not a matter of treating nor seeing her as a victim, but at this point, she is invested in this lifestyle that has made her rich and given her so many kids. It clearly is not fully satisfying her, but only she can decide when she has had enough and is ready to walk away from all of that.
Yes, she made a choice and is responsible for her decisions and her life. Her husband can just be a jerk, and take her for granted. That doesn't make her a victim. Sorry, I was a victim, and I don't see it. That doesn't mean its not happening. But I refuse to label her a victim when she says opposite. If she was a victim then that journalist just harmed her in ways unimaginable. Either way what she did was deplorable. Had she not put in her bias, maybe people would've seen it differently. Either way she made things way worse.
@@charissa6648 I don't label her as a victim because that's a useless label, especially in this context. She is facing the consequences of several major life choices against the backdrop of strong religious conditioning and immense cultural pressure. See the commentary from other former Mormon content creators. This has come at a steep cost. Birthing 8 kids, running a social media empire and a farm and the associated business operations, and then completely running on fumes to barely be able to get off the couch for a week at a time while reminiscing about a sacrificed dream is not healthy nor sustainable. It's a recipe for deep burnout. Her husband having a bad attitude or being demanding would be one thing, but she is pushing her body and mind to the extreme. Again, she will need to see how much longer she can keep going that way. As for the journalist making matters worse, it really depends on how you look at it. They used the controversy to drive traffic to their business, so this whole thing quite literally could be orchestrated for mass consumption, even if the allegations are still true. They are making money from this incident. She may not be willing to get a divorce at this time, but it's unclear if this made her consider the possibility once more. As for the journalist's bias, that's somewhat inevitable due to the nature of this content.
There is no DV. Hannah is a big girl, if she was getting bullied by her husband she would leave. And if you watched them at all instead of coming here and listening to these "influencers" who have no life at all then you would know. They have a wonderful Godly relationship with 8 beautiful kids and just because they are Christian they get treated like this by idiots. But you know what it doesn't phase Hannah at all, she knows the truth and her fans know too, not some two bit influener who has never watch them at all.
I was a victim, and I absolutely would never accuse someone without evidence. She is a grown adult. She may a choice to marry him. She chose to lay down her career. I refuse to take her voice cause I may dislike her husband. It's wild how people are talking for her and completely ignoring what she says.
@@ITSONLYMEWATCHING”she would leave” that’s what people think when they know NOTHING about being in a relationship with a nut job. They play with your mind. You do not know reality besides the one they created for you.
@@charissa6648what are you waiting for before you admit something wrong is happening there? Until her body is found? She didn’t want to be with him and denied his advances many times until he cornered her in a plane flight! How, as a victim, you do not realize psychological abuse can have a strong hold over someone? If I think back to my abusive relationship, I’d I’ve died for him. If he’d propose, I’d have cried and felt like I was the luckiest woman in the world at that time. Now? I’m so glad he chose the other woman he was seeing because I’d have never had the strength to leave. Maybe you were strong enough to leave, not everyone is. Especially if she were a ballerina, it usually comes with mental disorders due to the dynamic of the sport. Body shaming and extreme psychological pressures including physical pain. I’d have thought that, us women who have been through it, we’d stick together, but it’s easier to shame than be compassionate.
If It is a dv ( for what I heard about this case I think he likes to use monetary v) is obvious he will make her do a video saying everything is all lies or else...and her life Will be much more difficult now.
When I read the part about the epidural, I felt pretty nervous for Hannah. I can't imagine that there wasn't at least some verbal sparring and anger from his end after the article came out towards her. Whether or not there's actual violence which would be even worse, I have a feeling she is not given the respect she deserves. Regardless of the angle the journalist had, it was pretty clear he didn't seem to respect his wife enough not to constantly interrupt her.
He completely owns Ballerina Farms. So they certainly aren’t co CEOs. She definitely chose her life but it seems like she didn’t have much choice. The guy stalked her. I love that you tried to look at it from all points.
How do you know? I am just wondering where this source is because everything I have found has been about her being the founder and CEO of the Company from a simple google search.
YUP! He owns it. She is just the face of it. He did stalk her...literally cornered her using his resources aka "pulling strings" and forced her to sit in the same small space next to him on a plane for hours.
12:31 Yes, that's wonderful and all, but that's simply not enough for her because that is not her dream. She seems to be the type of person that does everything to the best of her abilities, but if she sacrificed her own needs, wants, and desires at the altar of a relationship that was thrusted upon her, she is not going to be all there mentally or emotionally. Her kids get a lot out of her, but because she lost some of her own agency due to a bunch of external pressure, she likely will always feel restless and engage in escapism as she burns out again and again.
Having 8 kids is okay IF the husband helping with cooking,taking care the kids and house chores , they don't need maid/helper if husband always helping with everything. It is NOT okay if the husband just sitting there doing nothing while wife doing everything alone. I feel sad when she's excited about the birthday gift thinking it is a ticket to fly to greece. That egg apron as a birthday gift is not a problem.. it's okay..,it is cute and simple birthday gift, it's not okay because Daniel is RICH.. he can give more than that. Like.. Why he didn't put an extra effort to make Hannah extra happy on her birthday?. I'm 50/50 about what happen between them, either Hannah really happy with her life or hannah fake happy her life.
I also am mixed. There's a chance that she's the kind of girl who always wanted to have a farm and be a mother. However, the type of girl who makes it into Juliard, the most competitive ballet school in the world, is the type of girl who has dreams and aspirations and drive to achieve them. And while there's nothing lesser about being a mom, if that was her dream, why would she have spent her entire life training to become literally one of the world's top ballerinas? All that being said, what makes me the most angry is that with her husband's money, she could definetely afford to go back to dancing. They can afford childcare. They can afford a nanny for the weekends. They can afford a professional chef. Heck, he could afford to build her a ballet studio in their house. He cares about his own fitness to build himself a personal gym, why doesn't he care enough to build her the ballet studio he promised her?
Ehh....though I think the husband should definitely help, I think with eight children, you will need a maid or helper, like even with one toddler most parents have their hands full, even if the two are active in the child's life.
@@dr.penguin6834 Being indoctrinated and brainwashed your whole life by a fundamentalist christian cult is shurely not "my body my choice". The women there do not have a choice regarding their bodies at all.
Ok so I was a Mormon stay at home wife. Fortunately I could not have kids. At least fortunately for that relationship. I was in a very sneaky controlling relationship. I was mentally brain washed from the church as well as mentally manipulated by my husband. I still do not know if he meant to do that. I think he was also brain washed by the church to act that way… none of this is black and white. But what I can say is once I started pushing back against the control, blinding trying to find my own sense of self, my own purpose in life. It got worse before it got better. Now if I had children, I probably never would have left. Because none of the money was mine, none of the property was mine, and I knew getting any money from him at all was never going happen. He’d drag me through court to ensure it. I was lucky to have a car in my name. I left and started from scratch. If I had children I couldn’t have done that.
So scary, glad you got out. There are a few great books by Susan Forward about abusive families and parters that are helpful to process and heal those parts of us that were taken advantage of by other people. (a great one of hers that helped me is called Emotional Blackmail)
I don't think Hannah give up her life because she had children. Women can have children and still fulfill their dreams, providing children are healthy and don't require special needs. She give up her dreams for HER husband, who trapped her in that vision of life HE wants, not she. It's al him! Children did not chose to be born, she could achieve everything with a little help. He is the controlling one.
Dude Im a stay home mom, i have two toddlers , it is exhausting i can't imagine 8 kids!!. I will go back to work once they both go to school. Im going nuts.. but I raher stay home than sending my kids to daycare. Again after they go to school it will be different.
Dear one, I understand why you're exhausted, but you are doing the right thing by not sending them to daycare. Fantastic! BUT, remember when u send those precious babies to school, they will be in a world where people can convince them that they're not really a boy, but a girl, and vice versa. That there's more than 2 genders, etc. During the next couple of years, start researching different home-schooling programs that align with YOUR values.I know that sounds overwhelming right now, but that might be the best thing that you ever did for yourself AND for your children. God bless.❤
@@patcox8745I think it depends on the area/ school district. More conservative states or counties don’t talk about all that to kids. But I think every parent has to do extensive research.
I’m curious about how, after six months of no interest on her part, he got her from a “date” by ambush to an engagement in a month and marriage right after. Sounds more like someone joining a cult than entering a relationship (when you normally want to get to know the other person…I think?) But we’ll only find out if she decides to publish her own candid account down the road.
With my husband we met in january, began a relationship in march and got married in september, 34 years ago, 4 kids. Let Hannah alone, mind in your own business. You seem to be a mean woman.
Also, I can’t believe people aren’t believing the reporter. Hannah and Daniel have put up a video on their channel and you can literally see and hear how he interrupts her.
The relationship has all the red flag warnings of Coercive Control…..which is a form of abuse….and can lead to domestic violence without the physical form….more of the mental, emotional, financial and spiritual.
I’m not even against women being “trad wives” if they want to be, heck if I had a financially well off man who wanted this I’d consider it- as long as there were protections in place if it didn’t work out. As long as he wasn’t a manipulative control freak with more money than god and connections deeper than I could even imagine. It’s not about her filling this role, it’s about the coersion that put her in this position. Why is it always these beautiful lively talented smart women who are skilled and pursuing a dream that these men are attracted to just to crush them. It’s like a game to powerful men. She’s basically the little ballerina in a jewelry box, a beautiful skilled little performer that’s been soldered to a machine she can’t get away from. To me, if there were anything in life I was this passionate about, the constant deferral and crushing of that dream over and over would be worse than death to me.
5:02 it’s so much more than that. She was living her dream she was doing it. He forced her to quit. He was happy and celebrated her loses because it pushed her down and he could compound that pressure to get his way. It’s vile and her “religious beliefs” helped to also back hun up. Disgusting
22:07 Agreed, and that is why it's important to never make major life decisions without taking all the time in the world you need to make a "100% yes, I am all in" commitment after getting enough rest and space to see what actually serves you best. Outside pressures can wait until you are ready, assuming that your basic survival needs are met.
I think your aseessment is very accurate. He swept her off her feet and took her dream away to make her live the life that he always wanted. And your comments about the role of the religion in this relationship are very true as well.
That relationship is just choke full of red flags. First he forced her into a first date she didn't want, then he doesn't even let her have stuff that gives her joy like a small ballerina studio. Marrying after a single month of knowing someone is next level crazy also. As rich as he is, can't he afford to have her have a spot for herself to dance her heart out? Plus what is that cheapo apron for her birthday? That's just insulting, we're not rich, but I get far better gifts than that for my birthday! It's just pathetic and disgusting. Also those eight kids, who's idea was that, hers or his?
So my husband grew up in a church that’s an offshoot of Mormon. I grew up in a Bill Gothard cult. Luckily we butted so much religiously that we went completely back to the board and figured out our spiritual path. When I see this family it reminds me so much of our childhood. Honestly I have wrestled with “do these women even have thoughts in their heads?” It is hard to watch because I know myself and I bucked the system. I have some scars from it but hubs and I both saw them inside the cult for what they were. A cult.
You also have to realize that the offshoots are more cult like than actual Mormonism. That’s why there are offshoots that left, they felt like it wasn’t strict enough
Has anyone even seen the update Hannah did on this whole article How the journalist hurt her and her husband by this article. Also, does anyone also know the journalist rewrote the artocle because the first one was based on false pretenses, not facts.
@behappy9247 I agree if you do a search you no longer find the article, but you do see that Hannah is blasting the article written and is very upset. Like I was told not too long ago " it's easier to believe a lie, than it is to seek the truth." But thank God for those that do seek truth and post it, hopefully like this channel will do.
Omg!! Poor Hannah she got an egg apron! Not what she wanted She is beautiful. Something's wrong. She can't access the account?? She got tricked by him with him getting a seat next to her on that plane! She looks tired sometimes sad.
She’s full of children. Do you think she would love to kick her husband to the curb and return to New York, but I’m positive he told her that she can leave if she wants, BUT THE KIDS STAY WITH HIM. I FEEL FOR HER, HE’S A CONTROL FREAK.
Most likely he will get custody and they will stay with him because for what I see all business are in his name I asume they have a prenup to protect their assets too to guarantee she can only leave with only what she came with.
I don’t feel bad for someone who had a chance to leave the toxic religion/lifetsyle they were raised in by being offered a spot at THEE Juilliard, but chose to give up their dreams for a man who stalked and then pressured them into marriage, when she had the choice to say no and have the life she originally wanted. Plus she’s making money off of all this? Yeah, I don’t feel much sympathy for her. We all live with the choices we make.
It sounds like an abuse story from the start. This man STALKED HER, she refused a date several times, we don’t know what he said or did that finally made her say yes. We don’t know what strings he and his daddy pulled in order to manipulate and control her. Idk how people can see “love” especially after the egg apron. Like he doesn’t care about her AT ALL. He say an ambitious and talented woman and decided he was gonna break her down and turn her into HIS puppet.
My daughter brought this entire "trend" to my attention 3 days ago. Next thing I know, we're on your video. I felt sooo "defeated" by his gift as a last straw. If her ENTIRE following knows she wants nothing more than to go to Greece & her husband is NOT having it, I can find no sympathy. She is complicit. For now. As soon as I heard him say in the apron video, "You're WELCOME!" I heard all I needed. Narcissist. His father owns the FREAKING airlines, too?! The whole family should have been having dinner in Greece every weekend! They have 8 kids, but that didn't happen ALONE. She could have been taking the pill - w/out him knowing, yes! Too many "she could haves/should haves" to list but for now, she's complicit. I do believe that one day she will leave or...worse.
It’s a little more complicated than this because of the religion aspect. She was already brainwashed to a certain way of thinking and how to be submissive because that’s how Mormon women are bred unfortunately. There are sooo many Mormon women who even after they leave the church have to go to therapy to unlearn all of the misogynistic thought processes they’ve been raised to believe to their core. It’s extremely unfortunate.
It seems like it could be a case of DV but there’s no way of knowing forsure. I do think there’s some serious neglect when it comes to the wife’s needs and health. Her exhaustion, sneaking an epidural, lack of dance room/memorabilia and lack of rest after childbirth shows the neglect
when you said that "she's really pretty, blessed, blessed woman," I couldn't help but disagree. If she wasn't so angelic, if she wasn't so beautiful, then perhaps she would not have been seen as someone else's ticket to a perfect life, at the cost of her own. It is unfortunate that any woman who shines brightly is immediately noticed as a prize to be won.
Yes, its a shame ppl think becaise she looks a certain way mean she is immune. Like you said, if she disnt look that way, she woudnt be used this way and in this case would probably be shamed by him
I feel like regret could be missed here. She might have chosen this or assumed it was something better than what she wanted at the time. There wasn’t much time given to her. She went with whatever felt good at that time and maybe she simply feels regret.
I am a new follower but I have to disagree the interviewer may be a feminist but she was not wrong she went there with intention because she sees the truth as a hardcore TC watcher please don’t take this wrong way but do some background searching on the LDS Mormon church
I agree with you in the end that we don't KNOW.🎉 She did sound like she shifted her priority towards raising their children in that audio. Also, I wouldn't say this super Mormon farm life is a good representation of what a trad wife actually is..
There are alot of normal people who farm or where a mom/dad stays home, theres actually many in my family. But the tradwife social media trends always seem a bit 1950s aesthetic obsessed and have concerning beliefs. Most stay at home wives I knowdo not wear dresses or makeup and bake bread all day. They hire house help when needed. The dads stay home at times too.They have hobbies outside of family.
Nah, she’s not a tradwife, she has multiple jobs. Her husband sounds like a psychopath and nothing makes me angrier than billionaires that can’t spare a penny for your hard work, her situation just sounds insane. I will see how I feel in the future, but now that my company went bankrupt and I’m just working for my husband and on my art I’m very happy and more productive than before.
1st. I wonder how she viewed her parents marriage? There’s a reason why she ran off to NYC ASAP! …Did she even complete her mission? 2nd. Any husband of mine better beware, if I get an apron! 😡 Think twice about eating what I fed you! Lol
the thing that rubs me the wrong way is when ppl say its the religion and she chose this, but if i understod correctly she wasnt even mormon at the beinning?? like yeah her husband was but i believe she was dragged into it before fully understanding the religion itself
One of the problems of our society is women thinking that serving an employer or sb else is more important and meaningful than your husband. I am pretty sure she was making a joke in jest about it being a trip to greece. They own a business and she is the face, thats how influencing works, its not really just one person behind a camera in general, there is usually a team or whatever to manage collaborations, video edit, etc. It's a business. When I was younger I wanted to have my own career and had dreams of what I might do in the world, and I did them, but then I met my husband and my priorities changed, because when you realise that the most rewarding thing is your family, you will naturally sacrifce other things in your life, thats what parents do, and parents who don't sacrifce anything for their children just see them as a nuisance. She used the past tense, as at that point she wanted to be a ballerina, but anybody in life sacrifices things and, she may have done so prematurely because she was youngish and wanted to study ballet, but as I understand, she did do ballet for many years? Of course she looks tired, she is mothering 8 young children, but thats part of being a mother, she does it very well in terms of not looking tired, but her hsuband takes care of a lot of the business side. Men chase women, and often they reject them, people are saying she had no choice in dating him? It was not an arranged marriage, of course she had autonomy to not ever see him again after that flight. I don't really see so many red flags here like people are saying. I don't understand how 'girl bosses' think its more empowering to slave away at a corporate, than to have the acheviement of children and a man who is faithful to you and takes care of you. A lot of women in their 40s regret their boss girl, individualist, selfish attitude when their body starts to scream at them to reproduce and they cant find a man. I am so happy with my husband but I know if I had the attitude that he should be me a flight to greece, or that my career should come before children, we wouldn't be happy. (also I am pretty sure again, that egg holder present was primarily for the camera and their online personnas.... online life is not real, people must rememeber that). The only real red flag I see is that they use their children and have them on camera against their own judgement because they are too young to understand consent.
I read the full article. I was horrified. I don’t think anything is wrong with trad wives as I was raised with a SAHM during my formative years with 5 children. This woman runs herself ragged to the point where she’s in bed for a week from exhaustion. That’s crazy and not healthy, like what is she trying to prove? How could you allow your wife to do so much work? And having so many children is not healthy for any woman. She’s endangering her health for followers.
He is manipulative, entitled and controlling. That first "date" on the plane was a sickening power play. Tantamount to stalking. Making every meal from scratch every day for 10 people? Utterly exhausting!!
I’ve had random new friends give me better gifts than this. I had a male coworker overheard me saying “I really want a baby tree but can’t find one” around Christmas one year and the next day one was on my desk with some mini hello kitty ornaments. That was more thoughtful and sweet and showed a relatively new coworker knew more about me than this woman’s husband of a decade and a half knows about her- or cares about her.
I somehow want to reach out to my mom to ask her what she had to sacrifice because she became a mother. I know every girl has big dreams before becoming moms.
I’ve met a morman couple before , it was a wedding and they were sum guests, les just say that dudes a big weirdo and the lady is in desperate need of help , poor girl was crying behind the venue cuz her husband controls everything, so if this is the same case I feel for her so much , wish I could say something but it wasn’t my place and the dude scares me
@@stillwaterfilms3626 that is true, but to be add to my experience with the one couple I saw, the husband struck me as the type of guy to have ppl follow u for “your own safety”, if ya know what I mean , just the way he was looking around the room like he was angry for no reason, and I guess it’s cuz his wife is a big ppl person she’s very nice ( currently has two kids very beautiful they seem to take after her lol ), but yea it was just uncomfortable in a way but I hope I was just overthinking or overreacting ya know , but definitely something fishy going on we don’t know what
I really appreciate how unbiased your video was! I just saw ballerina farm in my UA-cam recommended and as a stay at home Christian mum I definitely wanted to like her content, but I also vaguely remembered hearing about this drama. I was worried I was headed for a super anti-stay at home mum video 😅 but this was great for hearing what's going on!
Remember we don’t know these people and how they act off camera. Could be better or worse, it’s unfortunately not something we will know because of how easy you can create a fabricated online persona.
I belong to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and even I don’t think their relationship sounds healthy. I am married in the temple, and while once I have children I plan to stay at home (up to a certain point), it is only because I personally believe it is the best choice for my mental health and my children’s due to my multiple disabilities (autism, etc.). My also autistic husband is not the controlling type, and I am loyal and bisexual. Why am I in the church? It is because I believe I am needed for a reason, and I have had very personal spiritual experiences that tell me it is the right choice. If other people don’t want my choice, I understand. If other people can’t understan, I understand. However, I feel that there are a lot of stereotypes about LDS people, and while there is always some truth to stereotypes, I hope that people don’t judge my life or my husband by the worst examples they hear. Not everyone has what is deemed the stereotypical Mormon or a cult mindset. Even if someone did though, I don’t believe it helps to talk about someone like they have no choice. Especially if it is because you dislike the reasoning and context behind that choice. The minute you do so is the minute the other person shuts down, and whatever good you had to offer will not be accepted. That is human nature in my opinion. Everyone wants to be listened to without judgement. People are more likely to listen to your point of view if you don’t treat them like a scary and/or nonsensical“cult” member. I don’t believe in judging people by the worst examples in their group, and I would hope people would talk to people like me who belong to a “cult” with some degree of respect, even if they might think I’m just another strange, mindless and abused follower. While I believe in my faith, I believe everyone has been given good that they can choose to act on, and if they live and think differently than I do then that’s okay. I believe that “11 We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may.” In any case, those are some thoughts I had. I sincerely hope the UA-camr mentioned finds a way out of that relationship or something miraculously changes about her current one. He is clearly controlling and misuses what is meant to be HIS responsibility and opportunity to serve in his priesthood calling. A priesthood calling should be about Christ, not him. Where I go to church that is not encouraged and would be frowned upon, and I have heard church leaders talk against that behavior. I am sorry that others have experienced otherwise though, and I wish them the best in healing. There are unfortunately people like him out there with that mindset. That is definitely something that needs to be changed.
All of my female Mormon friends are on some form of anti-depressants. Only one works outside the home, despite them all having gone to college. The one who works outside the home is an RN and has four kids. Her life seems more balanced than the other two, but who knows? I've done the work outside the home, even been the breadwinner at times, and also stay at home momma at times. It's all hard! That's what I hope people can understand. I just found that the part where she wanted a little more time before she submitted to her Mormon fate, and that made me sad. Also, the apron video broke me inside, because he could make another call....but instead he took that moment to break her spirit. Why, if they have a wealthy family, would it be crazy to take a vacation to Greece? I get the vibe that Hannah wants culture for her kids, and Daniel is threatened by that.
She is not a co-owner he is the CEO and he gets the money from his dad. I like how his dad‘s the CEO and then he passes it on down to his son and his son gets everything that he wants he gets to move out to the mill nowhere he gets to farm. He gets to choose that she’s going to stay at home with the kids, but she is the one that is consistently having to give everything up Her body for the kids, her ballerina career for their marriage now apparently her shed or whatever it was, she was dancing in The fact that she is so sick that she’ll lay in bed for a week and he still refuses to hire help when his dad is a multimillionaire and he Himself has enough money to hire a nanny just shows you how undervalued unloved and unappreciated this woman truly is. The trip to Greece was just the cherry on top of the cake. I’ve been Greece I’ve hiked a propolis. I’ve been to Mexico. I’ve hiked through a jungle of Mexico to my temple. I have been to England. I stayed at a haunted inn by the sea. I’ve been to Ephesus and Sardis in Turkey. I have had chicken in Jamaica I’ve been to the Bahamas twice. I’ve been to the Cayman. I’ve been to Puerto Rico. I actually went on horseback through a rainforest in Puerto Rico and then turned around and went through the same rainforest on a four wheeler. I enjoy my life I travel my heart breaks for this woman because she will never ever ever ever have that and she will continue to give and give and give until she is used up, at which point in time he will divorce her and find another
I get that she gets to spend more time with her children in this way of life, but as someone who is an only child and had the attention of both parents all the time, it’s a double sided axe. You receive not only all of the positive attention, but also the negative one from your parents. I sure hope they get along well outside of public, because if her parents stay together because of the religious beliefs, or just for the children (when they don’t get along most of the time), it becomes such a toxic environment. Even more so when they’re homeschooled. Maybe I’m projecting my own experience a bit, but I hope for their mental health’s sake that they get some rest from time to time, and get to have their own space for themselves. Going to school and having to go to separate jobs sometimes does wonders for self-development and to see other perspectives.
the thing is, she did NOT choose... he TRAPPED her... on that plane and in real life as well... who knows, he could've been dangerous, he could've threatened her ... he literally STALKED her and REFUSED to take her NO for an answer... and to top it off, he seems to be a very controlling husband (not letting her get a word in while being interviewed... always breathing down her neck and not giving her space...) and don't tell me yall didn't see the utter disappointment on her face when he gave her that apron. women have been victimized since the beginning of time and to see it happening in 2024 and romanticized by some, even other women, is sad and infuriating... for her own sake, i really hope she's okay and not trapped or being abused... guess we'll wait and see till they're 50 or something.
No, just nope. That didn't happen. She made a choice. How did he threaten her? Receipts? This is why if she is a victim she will have no where to turn. You perpetrate the same lies an abuser does. She is responsible for her life. She has personal autonomy. She has the power to choose otherwise. Stop it. You hurt victims. She is an adult and she has to remember that she is responsible for her actions. Only then will she realize. Also, he threatened her? Lol, you watch too many dramas.
I believe her life probably is not what she wishes to be, but now with all the kids she is making the best of it. She didn’t have much of a choice. She was pressure to get married and after that she had to have many kids. I am sure if he didn’t force that 1st date things will be different. Probably her family and his family talked and manipulated her that was the best option or the only option. I am sure she adores her children but many mom feel that part of them dies when you have children. I hope she doesn’t have any more kids so she can recharges and take care of her mental health
the husband seems like the type of guy that might be controlling and demanding. The jounalist is sketchy as well and that article feels like a hit peace
Dang- I had to stop watching the video because the wife came out and spoke out against the article debunking everything said in the article. This video disappointed me…
Yes, both those organizations are cults. They deviated from the teachings and make people work for the love of God, but in reality it's for the organization. You're never good enough. You're always waiting to be punished. So glad you got out!!
Any “franchise” that announces “we are the ONLY religion that will go to Heaven”, run. False prophets, False doctrines, such nonsense and so easy to disprove. Jesus Christ wants a relationship with you, that is what being a member of the Body of Christ is about.
It's not always easy to say no to something you don't want. Sometimes it's not possible. As life goes on I heard more and more women talking about how it's been being in an @busive relationship and I aknowledge that (even) the kindest, smartest woman out there can be trapped just the way I was. Thinking it won't happen to you because you're better is so disrespectful and entitled.
One month of knowing each other to marry is the biggest red flag. The infatuation stage of a relationship is not a good time to get married IMO. They had babies very early in their marriage trapping her further. This is a standard formula for trapping a woman with dreams. She maybe in her 40s or 50s before she realizes the huge error she made. Or if he leaves her for a younger women later. I feel sorry for her. The reporter may had been bias but she didn't make up their time table.
Women need to be compensated by their husbands for their kabor ie cooking chores childcare. This should not be invisible labor. What if tou get divorced? And he didn't? You with regret it
I gave birth without pain relief to all my children, because I don't want any drugs. Also I don't know what the relationship between that couple is, none of my business (and the mormon sect is weird), but a trully ontrolling man, who sleep deprives his wife would NEVER let her sleep for a week. But stating they use candles instead of electrisity and making conclusions on her dissatisfaction, out of her straight answer to the basic questions "Have you always dreamed of the farm life" is simply incorrect. People's plans change as they grow.
I’ve always seen these videos on instagram / tik tok and thought they where a little werid thank you for bringing this to our attention lael I’m watching this as I battle my ed and eating apple slices thank you for giving me something to watch rn 😂😂 ❤❤❤❤
This was a really informative non-biased video about this situation. I definitely think he can do more for her (hire nannies, take her on a trip to greece, build a ballerina studio, getting extra closet space, etc) if he really loved her. I mean those aren't hard things to do especially if you're the son of a billionaire. And the fact that she didn't even wanna go on a date with him but then after the stalkery "flight date" she was enganged, married and then pregnant within 6 months is kinda sus. And him saying "you're welcome" before she said thank you was icky for sure. If she chose this, good for her. Otherwise it's just sad.
I think the article was biased, so I see why conservatives are attacking the journalist. That said: the video about the apron just says it all. Yes, she chose that life (as much as she could choose it with her upbringing). But the moment he gave her, as a birthday present, an unwrapped egg apron… It doesn’t matter what she says, it doesn’t matter what he says. He’s an ungrateful jerk who takes her for granted. Period. I can ignore what the journalist wrote, but I can’t ignore the fact that she had asked for ticket for Greece and he gave her an APRON. An egg apron, and not even a cute one. He could have gotten her some satin pointe shoes, that would not have been tickets to Greece, but… He could have gotten her a cuter apron made especially for her. He could have taken the time to WRAP UP the present. But no, it seems that he feels like he owns her because of the kids, so she’s not going anywhere. Her poor, fake smile after getting that apron was really sad. So, yeah, I don’t believe the dooming scenario that the journalist portrayed. But I’ve seen the video about the apron, and that’s damning enough.
Was she a Mormon before she met him. If so the husbands are taught that their wives must be obedient to them as head of the household. I am a born again Christian and I worked with a lovely lady whose husband also worked at the same place. She started asking me questions about my Bible reading and Christian life and when he found out, he made her leave and she loved her job. It was so sad but it was a case of ‘My way or the Highway’.
What is wrong with these women that are being so unkind to her. It really looks like she is in an abusive relationship I’ve been there myself so I understand. It’s so sad. I hope she gets away from him. It looks like he made sure that he was going to have her one way or another in the very beginning.
34:14 This is simply what keeps coming up in the algorithm as I look for video essays and commentary videos on recent events. I see her videos on UA-cam shorts every now and then. Aside from that, I am not personally invested beyond the more global conversation of walking away from a situation that is burning you out, and if other people are involved, directly communicate what you need for things to actually be sustainable.
7:02 exactly she didn’t have a choice. She didn’t accept the day. She was forced to sit next to him, and has been condition by her religion as a woman to be complicit and not complain. Cannot refuse. Keep Sweet, right
Hannah is incredible. I look up to her and what her family is accomplishing so much, especially with farming! It's admirable and honorable to be a hard working Godly wife like she is who makes sacrifices. She embodies the Proverbs 31 woman. She is Mrs. America after all and she didn't get there without her husband's support. She is so happy and has everything a woman who wants that life could want. Being a wife and mother can be hard but it's more rewarding than being single and alone and doing it all on your own. That's the thing when you get married. Sometimes it's hard but it's definitely more hard being single with no support and no purpose in life other to buy clothes and take trips. I would encourage everyone to get to know God, find a good husband, have children and enjoy the riches of that life even if you don't get all the trips or clothes you want. See the good in people. Be blessed :)
He is the son of a CEO. He is a rich boy so he probably grew up with a maid and a nanny and a cook and it’s just so interesting that he cannot extend to her the woman that he’s supposedly in love with the same help that his mother was offered.
my guess he resented his mother ;)
My guess: he is a narcissist.
Don't know anything about the Mormon Church do you?
@@RWebster325 I know it's a cult that was founded by a PDF file con man, isn't legitimate, and deserves no respect.
He could have given her the trip to Greece that she was longing for, instead, he ridiculed her with that egg collecting apron. How sad this was to watch. He doesn’t love her. That life could be so much more with a loving man.
A decent rich man would have given her the apron with a ticket to Greece in one pocket and a bunch of other holiday related things in some of the others. And hey since he's so wealthy he could add a diamond bracelet or something.
I think deep down, he was afraid that she might leave him for good once she gets to go out of their home by herself.
My art teacher who owns a painting club married a wealthy man just as she graduated out of one of the most prestigious art schools in our country. She started having children and quickly got depressed. She said she was in a horrible mental space and was mentally and physically exhausted from the housework. Her husband got a nanny to help with the kids , opened a painting club to teach adults, put it in her name and financed several art galleries tht she did abroad. Now she is one of the most known young artists in our country and she is a great mom. tht's becoz her husband actually loves her- This lady was always supposed to be the pretty wife. She's not allowed to be anything else-She's not allowed rest or a vacation for her. She's not allowed to be human. That's not love. The only wealth tht woman has is in her kids. I hope they appreciate their mom and show her gratitude for the sacrifices she made as they grow up.
Wow thats lovely for yourbteacher that he was so thoughtful,Im sure their relatipnship is alot better now both of them are happy
Very well said! I guarantee that her instructors, friends, and peers at Juilliard told her not to marry him.
Controlling money is part of an abusive relationship...if she decides to leave she'll never see her children again. No matter what she does his family will always be able to buy a better lawyer and it only takes months to lie to her children and turn them against her forever. He married her as fast as he could so she wouldn't see his real personality until it was too late. You can't make a trad man happy, no matter what you do, how much you do, how much you give. She's stuck because she loves her children and he made sure she'd get pregnant as soon as he could. People in abusive relationships will often defend their significant other to convince themselves and because subconsciously they understand there will be consequences if they don't. A healthy relationship doesn't need to designate one person or the other as "in charge", you work together and both care about the other person feeling happy and fulfilled. Families are work, but if it's not as much fun as work you're doing it wrong.
This exactly happened to my sister. They moved states to be near us but he isolates her and doesn’t let her spend money unless he’s at the store with her or, with what money he gives her. She used to be in an abusive relationship and found her husband while going through a bad break up. Now he keeps her home barefoot and pregnant. Men like this disgust me.
This is a super Mormon farm family..far from a typical trad fam. The typical traditional man is the easiest man to make happy !! Also, traditional families have the husband leading* not controlling.
dude he was practically taunting her while she opened it. what an insufferable rich boy.
Dude... he says "you're welcome"
Then... when she says thankyou... he says it took a long time... referencing that her first words weren't thank you.
That was heartbreaking 💔🥺
I guess I took “it took a long time” because it came from Ukraine…
That was the biggest red flag to me. Especially when he knows this is not the gift she wanted. This is abuser behaviour 101.
I caught that too! Sent chills down my spine! He said it so she couldn’t hear him too…which makes it that much worse! Wait til she sees it! Then he’ll guilt trip her for not being overjoyed by an egg apron.
@@oldsoulhomestead89that’s how abusers cover their behavior. She’s catch it when she sees the video & he’ll gaslight her by saying, “I meant it took a long time to get here”
Did her husband really say "that took a long time" referring to how long it took her to say "thank you honey" for that bs gift!??

If you watched them at all you would know about Daniel's dry sense of humor and Hannah is a big girl if she was being treated badly she would leave and take her kids. Get a fucking life.
There's so much in their relationship that stands out to me as WAVING red flags. The plane story is a cute 'how we met' until he reveals he orchestrated it all. Imagine the same story from the perspective of someone who wasn't receptive to his advances - being forced to share an armrest with someone actively trying to hit on you for multiple hours straight, with nowhere else to go, would be a nightmare. And saying that it was either the fast track or nothing when it came to marriage was active coercion; he was saying he'd end the relationship if she didn't agree to his proposal. To say nothing of how she only seems to speak freely when she's out from under his supervision...I get people wanting to defend SAHM lifestyles but this ain't the example to look up to - this is like textbook abusive relationship behavior. And the sad part is he's probably gotten away with it his whole life because of his family's wealth, and he'll continue to do so.
She probably lying knew that wealth wise, she wouldn't be able to get higher than what he brought to the table.
@@unicornL And now he won't even spend $20 on her birthday present, so 'good joke' in that regard. You can excuse her actions as being a 20-year-old who was star-struck by a rich guy showing up and suddenly showering her in attention like something out of a romance novel. You can't excuse any of his because it sounds like he knew EXACTLY the dynamic he wanted to recreate all along. I mean, he makes her stick to a baby-making schedule, this is probably quite literally a fetish for him.
@@unicornLDid you forget she repeatedly turned him down, for months, until he basically stalked her?

I didn't really feel bad for her until her birthday gift. That just proves how unappreciated and unvalued she is to him. If he was willing to let the world see that it kind of shows that their realationship is ajoke in his eyes. He probably watches that with his billionaire buddies and laughs
And the way he said "you're welcome" so aggressively before she said "thanks, honey"? That grated!

It doesn't take 2 to tango if 1 is brazen enough to sneak attack a date, he is more than capable of other cruel things....Just saying. And just because she has kids doesn't mean she isn't trapped. And just because she has money, doesn't mean she access to any of it. And just because she is white and beautiful, doesn't mean she can never be a victim.
I would be very surprised if he did not tamper with her birth control with the first kid especially.. she didn't even want to get married so fast let alone get pregnant while in school.
This! Thank you
@mackenziemoore7503 do they believe in birth control in Mormonism?
She dropped so many, not even hints, just statements about her dreams and everything she wanted for life was ignored and destroyed by her husband.
Also has anyone heard the story of the South Korean UA-camr who was forced to make Mukbang videos for 4 years and beaten daily by her boyfriend. BTW, he allso created a media entertainment company to steal her earnings. Yeah it's possible!
It started as a love story with a Millionaire... Who very slowly but very surely trapped his Wife and made her his indentured servant. He built his trap, one child at the time. She is His slave, does ALL the work, too much for a regular Woman, forget a Woman who has given birth to 8 children! Then she has everything in-house, great!... You might think... but that means she doesn't get to even see other adults... ever! Yes, the kids are cute but it's hard to have a fulfilling conversation with a child of any age. 8 kids?! Absolutely not. 🤣
The hub said you’re welcome before she said thank you. My ex hubs used to do that. He didn’t t care if I said thank you or not. He turned out to be a narcissist sociopath
@AllisonFields that moment was so telling! He is not interested in whether she appreciates the apron - he TELLS her to appreciate it.
He has zero interest in her wishes and her feelings about being ignored.
I truly think she is a victim of reproductive coercion (as well as him literally targeting her specifically). From that one video of her receiving that apron, also the NYT interview, it says SO much. I wouldn’t be surprised if he is emotionally, verbally, and psychologically abusive to her. The condescending and entitled way he says “you’re welcome” 😒 I’m sure he negs and nitpicks passive aggressively a lot with her. He saw someone successful and full of light and set his eyes to trap and hide her away so she can be accessible to him and only him, and only to others under limited and supervised circumstances under his eye. Men can truly be sinister when it comes to plucking a beautiful and bright woman from her element and dimming her light.
Wow, this part: "set his eyes to trap and hide her away so she can be accessible to him and only him, and only to others under limited and supervised circumstances under his eye." I've noticed this happening in a few of my friends' relationships and it was almost always with rich men.
@@neonred7594 isolation is the very first thing men try to do to women before any sort of abuse starts. Along with limiting time/access to them in regards to friends/family. It will cause contention to the point the man will convince the woman “your friends family want us apart, they don’t understand us, they’re jealous of you” then a rift is created. After that the women will cling more to him, and when the abuse starts she will have nowhere to go (especially if he severed ties or caused her to burn bridges with a solid support system) very sinister and manipulative
She’s basically the ballerina in a jewelry box, beautifully tragic because she’s trapped spinning in circles forever.
Men who are that attracted to that light in women, that passion and drive women with a dream have, can be so dangerous based on their motives. Some want to bask in it, this man wanted to slowly snuff it out. He wanted to and made moves to break her at every turn, to me I’d rather be dead than have this.

I’m so happy for you to have gotten out but I’m so sad you’ve been through this
21:48 Exactly. The people not seeing the red flags that Hannah could be a victim have never been with a toxic person, it's not as simple as "just leave.". That sneaks up on you, and even friends and family telling you he's bad news is enough to break those rose colored classes. I obviously don't know if she's truly happy or not, it's the internet, but the red flags are there.
Being a SAHM was the greatest achievement of my life. I worked part time, but only when my husband was able to take care of our child. That child is now 26, and I’m a “lady of leisure”, and I love it.
Work sucks.
Edit: My husband would be alone-and possibly injured-in a hot second if he gave me an apron for a gift.
Your comment made my day. It spoke from my heart. This is my wish for me. I want to be a mother whos stays home and raises healthy children. Menatally and physically. ❤
@@kanoraidon8238 ty! 😘
It was quirky apron though! Definitely something I’d mention to my husband in passing and he’d somehow remember lol.
The "Edit" is the most important part here. I'm glad it was your choice and you are happy with it. As a 26 year old woman who had an absolutely miserable SAHM (her choice but she hated it), I now have a broader perspective that yes, some women actually really do enjoy that life and that is okay! My dad was supportive of my mom staying or working, so her misery and hate for working women was truly her problem. If I grew up with a SAHM who loved being a SAHM and put her heart into it, I would have had a lot less internalized misogyny I had to shed over the years. And you'd be valid in your anger with the apron thing if that were to have happened to you too lol.
So being SAHM isn't work😂😂
21:33 She did make those choices, but even determined people can crumble when they are pressured on all fronts by people they trust or love. There are consequences for not standing your ground sooner, and it's not a matter of treating nor seeing her as a victim, but at this point, she is invested in this lifestyle that has made her rich and given her so many kids. It clearly is not fully satisfying her, but only she can decide when she has had enough and is ready to walk away from all of that.
Yes, she made a choice and is responsible for her decisions and her life. Her husband can just be a jerk, and take her for granted. That doesn't make her a victim.
Sorry, I was a victim, and I don't see it. That doesn't mean its not happening. But I refuse to label her a victim when she says opposite.
If she was a victim then that journalist just harmed her in ways unimaginable. Either way what she did was deplorable.
Had she not put in her bias, maybe people would've seen it differently. Either way she made things way worse.
@@charissa6648 I don't label her as a victim because that's a useless label, especially in this context. She is facing the consequences of several major life choices against the backdrop of strong religious conditioning and immense cultural pressure. See the commentary from other former Mormon content creators. This has come at a steep cost. Birthing 8 kids, running a social media empire and a farm and the associated business operations, and then completely running on fumes to barely be able to get off the couch for a week at a time while reminiscing about a sacrificed dream is not healthy nor sustainable. It's a recipe for deep burnout.
Her husband having a bad attitude or being demanding would be one thing, but she is pushing her body and mind to the extreme. Again, she will need to see how much longer she can keep going that way.
As for the journalist making matters worse, it really depends on how you look at it. They used the controversy to drive traffic to their business, so this whole thing quite literally could be orchestrated for mass consumption, even if the allegations are still true. They are making money from this incident. She may not be willing to get a divorce at this time, but it's unclear if this made her consider the possibility once more. As for the journalist's bias, that's somewhat inevitable due to the nature of this content.
She’s not ready to be honest yet and that’s okay. Those who have experience with DV can see it clear as day.
There is no DV. Hannah is a big girl, if she was getting bullied by her husband she would leave. And if you watched them at all instead of coming here and listening to these "influencers" who have no life at all then you would know. They have a wonderful Godly relationship with 8 beautiful kids and just because they are Christian they get treated like this by idiots. But you know what it doesn't phase Hannah at all, she knows the truth and her fans know too, not some two bit influener who has never watch them at all.
I was a victim, and I absolutely would never accuse someone without evidence.
She is a grown adult. She may a choice to marry him. She chose to lay down her career. I refuse to take her voice cause I may dislike her husband. It's wild how people are talking for her and completely ignoring what she says.
@@ITSONLYMEWATCHING”she would leave” that’s what people think when they know NOTHING about being in a relationship with a nut job. They play with your mind. You do not know reality besides the one they created for you.
@@charissa6648what are you waiting for before you admit something wrong is happening there? Until her body is found? She didn’t want to be with him and denied his advances many times until he cornered her in a plane flight! How, as a victim, you do not realize psychological abuse can have a strong hold over someone? If I think back to my abusive relationship, I’d I’ve died for him. If he’d propose, I’d have cried and felt like I was the luckiest woman in the world at that time. Now? I’m so glad he chose the other woman he was seeing because I’d have never had the strength to leave. Maybe you were strong enough to leave, not everyone is. Especially if she were a ballerina, it usually comes with mental disorders due to the dynamic of the sport. Body shaming and extreme psychological pressures including physical pain. I’d have thought that, us women who have been through it, we’d stick together, but it’s easier to shame than be compassionate.
Thank you. As someone who has gone through emotional and psychological abuse, I see what is going on. This woman is being abused
If it is a dv situation then the interviewer has made life a whole lot harder at ballerina farms
If It is a dv ( for what I heard about this case I think he likes to use monetary v) is obvious he will make her do a video saying everything is all lies or else...and her life Will be much more difficult now.
@@imitationporcelain
youre right. they have a video response of her defending him and everything... 🥲
When I read the part about the epidural, I felt pretty nervous for Hannah. I can't imagine that there wasn't at least some verbal sparring and anger from his end after the article came out towards her. Whether or not there's actual violence which would be even worse, I have a feeling she is not given the respect she deserves. Regardless of the angle the journalist had, it was pretty clear he didn't seem to respect his wife enough not to constantly interrupt her.
It could also be a catalyst to get her to make moves to get out. It might be a wake up call if anything.
@@krista6538 the reporter has already been exposed as a fraud
He completely owns Ballerina Farms. So they certainly aren’t co CEOs. She definitely chose her life but it seems like she didn’t have much choice. The guy stalked her. I love that you tried to look at it from all points.
How do you know? I am just wondering where this source is because everything I have found has been about her being the founder and CEO of the Company from a simple google search.
Prove it now please
No, she absolutely had choices. She just made the wrong one in my opinion.
YUP! He owns it. She is just the face of it. He did stalk her...literally cornered her using his resources aka "pulling strings" and forced her to sit in the same small space next to him on a plane for hours.
I have heard that Utah is a 50/50 state though....so that's kind of hopeful
12:31 Yes, that's wonderful and all, but that's simply not enough for her because that is not her dream. She seems to be the type of person that does everything to the best of her abilities, but if she sacrificed her own needs, wants, and desires at the altar of a relationship that was thrusted upon her, she is not going to be all there mentally or emotionally. Her kids get a lot out of her, but because she lost some of her own agency due to a bunch of external pressure, she likely will always feel restless and engage in escapism as she burns out again and again.
Having 8 kids is okay IF the husband helping with cooking,taking care the kids and house chores , they don't need maid/helper if husband always helping with everything. It is NOT okay if the husband just sitting there doing nothing while wife doing everything alone.
I feel sad when she's excited about the birthday gift thinking it is a ticket to fly to greece. That egg apron as a birthday gift is not a problem.. it's okay..,it is cute and simple birthday gift, it's not okay because Daniel is RICH.. he can give more than that. Like.. Why he didn't put an extra effort to make Hannah extra happy on her birthday?.
I'm 50/50 about what happen between them, either Hannah really happy with her life or hannah fake happy her life.
I also am mixed. There's a chance that she's the kind of girl who always wanted to have a farm and be a mother.
However, the type of girl who makes it into Juliard, the most competitive ballet school in the world, is the type of girl who has dreams and aspirations and drive to achieve them. And while there's nothing lesser about being a mom, if that was her dream, why would she have spent her entire life training to become literally one of the world's top ballerinas?
All that being said, what makes me the most angry is that with her husband's money, she could definetely afford to go back to dancing. They can afford childcare. They can afford a nanny for the weekends. They can afford a professional chef. Heck, he could afford to build her a ballet studio in their house. He cares about his own fitness to build himself a personal gym, why doesn't he care enough to build her the ballet studio he promised her?
Ehh....though I think the husband should definitely help, I think with eight children, you will need a maid or helper, like even with one toddler most parents have their hands full, even if the two are active in the child's life.
Having 8 kids is okay because my body my choice. Period.
Right?
Having 8 kids is never okay
@@dr.penguin6834 Being indoctrinated and brainwashed your whole life by a fundamentalist christian cult is shurely not "my body my choice". The women there do not have a choice regarding their bodies at all.
This is NOT determination on his part... it's bulldozing.
Ok so I was a Mormon stay at home wife. Fortunately I could not have kids. At least fortunately for that relationship. I was in a very sneaky controlling relationship. I was mentally brain washed from the church as well as mentally manipulated by my husband. I still do not know if he meant to do that. I think he was also brain washed by the church to act that way… none of this is black and white. But what I can say is once I started pushing back against the control, blinding trying to find my own sense of self, my own purpose in life. It got worse before it got better. Now if I had children, I probably never would have left. Because none of the money was mine, none of the property was mine, and I knew getting any money from him at all was never going happen. He’d drag me through court to ensure it. I was lucky to have a car in my name. I left and started from scratch. If I had children I couldn’t have done that.
So scary, glad you got out. There are a few great books by Susan Forward about abusive families and parters that are helpful to process and heal those parts of us that were taken advantage of by other people. (a great one of hers that helped me is called Emotional Blackmail)
I don't think Hannah give up her life because she had children. Women can have children and still fulfill their dreams, providing children are healthy and don't require special needs. She give up her dreams for HER husband, who trapped her in that vision of life HE wants, not she. It's al him! Children did not chose to be born, she could achieve everything with a little help. He is the controlling one.
Dude Im a stay home mom, i have two toddlers , it is exhausting i can't imagine 8 kids!!. I will go back to work once they both go to school. Im going nuts.. but I raher stay home than sending my kids to daycare. Again after they go to school it will be different.
Dear one, I understand why you're exhausted, but you are doing the right thing by not sending them to daycare. Fantastic! BUT, remember when u send those precious babies to school, they will be in a world where people can convince them that they're not really a boy, but a girl, and vice versa. That there's more than 2 genders, etc. During the next couple of years, start researching different home-schooling programs that align with YOUR values.I know that sounds overwhelming right now, but that might be the best thing that you ever did for yourself AND for your children. God bless.❤
@@patcox8745I think it depends on the area/ school district. More conservative states or counties don’t talk about all that to kids. But I think every parent has to do extensive research.
I’m curious about how, after six months of no interest on her part, he got her from a “date” by ambush to an engagement in a month and marriage right after. Sounds more like someone joining a cult than entering a relationship (when you normally want to get to know the other person…I think?)
But we’ll only find out if she decides to publish her own candid account down the road.
With my husband we met in january, began a relationship in march and got married in september, 34 years ago, 4 kids. Let Hannah alone, mind in your own business. You seem to be a mean woman.
Also, I can’t believe people aren’t believing the reporter. Hannah and Daniel have put up a video on their channel and you can literally see and hear how he interrupts her.
The relationship has all the red flag warnings of Coercive Control…..which is a form of abuse….and can lead to domestic violence without the physical form….more of the mental, emotional, financial and spiritual.
I’m not even against women being “trad wives” if they want to be, heck if I had a financially well off man who wanted this I’d consider it- as long as there were protections in place if it didn’t work out. As long as he wasn’t a manipulative control freak with more money than god and connections deeper than I could even imagine. It’s not about her filling this role, it’s about the coersion that put her in this position. Why is it always these beautiful lively talented smart women who are skilled and pursuing a dream that these men are attracted to just to crush them. It’s like a game to powerful men. She’s basically the little ballerina in a jewelry box, a beautiful skilled little performer that’s been soldered to a machine she can’t get away from.
To me, if there were anything in life I was this passionate about, the constant deferral and crushing of that dream over and over would be worse than death to me.
This is NOT choice... it is a CULT.
A CULT.
5:02 it’s so much more than that. She was living her dream she was doing it. He forced her to quit. He was happy and celebrated her loses because it pushed her down and he could compound that pressure to get his way. It’s vile and her “religious beliefs” helped to also back hun up. Disgusting
22:07 Agreed, and that is why it's important to never make major life decisions without taking all the time in the world you need to make a "100% yes, I am all in" commitment after getting enough rest and space to see what actually serves you best. Outside pressures can wait until you are ready, assuming that your basic survival needs are met.
I think your aseessment is very accurate. He swept her off her feet and took her dream away to make her live the life that he always wanted. And your comments about the role of the religion in this relationship are very true as well.
That relationship is just choke full of red flags. First he forced her into a first date she didn't want, then he doesn't even let her have stuff that gives her joy like a small ballerina studio. Marrying after a single month of knowing someone is next level crazy also. As rich as he is, can't he afford to have her have a spot for herself to dance her heart out? Plus what is that cheapo apron for her birthday? That's just insulting, we're not rich, but I get far better gifts than that for my birthday! It's just pathetic and disgusting. Also those eight kids, who's idea was that, hers or his?
Does anyone know if she still has contact with her family bc that would be VERY telling
She is very close with her whole family. You’d know if you just took 5 mins on her Instagram.
So my husband grew up in a church that’s an offshoot of Mormon. I grew up in a Bill Gothard cult. Luckily we butted so much religiously that we went completely back to the board and figured out our spiritual path. When I see this family it reminds me so much of our childhood.
Honestly I have wrestled with “do these women even have thoughts in their heads?”
It is hard to watch because I know myself and I bucked the system. I have some scars from it but hubs and I both saw them inside the cult for what they were. A cult.
You also have to realize that the offshoots are more cult like than actual Mormonism. That’s why there are offshoots that left, they felt like it wasn’t strict enough
Has anyone even seen the update Hannah did on this whole article
How the journalist hurt her and her husband by this article. Also, does anyone also know the journalist rewrote the artocle because the first one was based on false pretenses, not facts.
Please, site the article where you say the journalist retracted what she said. Because I looked and I couldn't find anything
@hayleybennett5412 Brett Cooper and Amala Ekpunobi covered it. Both of them show both the og article and the rewritten one.
It's like everyone's just choosing to ignore the new article or the recordings gotten from interview.
@behappy9247 I agree if you do a search you no longer find the article, but you do see that Hannah is blasting the article written and is very upset. Like I was told not too long ago " it's easier to believe a lie, than it is to seek the truth." But thank God for those that do seek truth and post it, hopefully like this channel will do.
Shut up pick me bitch
Omg!! Poor Hannah she got an egg apron! Not what she wanted She is beautiful. Something's wrong. She can't access the account?? She got tricked by him with him getting a seat next to her on that plane! She looks tired sometimes sad.
She’s full of children. Do you think she would love to kick her husband to the curb and return to New York, but I’m positive he told her that she can leave if she wants, BUT THE KIDS STAY WITH HIM. I FEEL FOR HER, HE’S A CONTROL FREAK.
Most likely he will get custody and they will stay with him because for what I see all business are in his name I asume they have a prenup to protect their assets too to guarantee she can only leave with only what she came with.
I don’t feel bad for someone who had a chance to leave the toxic religion/lifetsyle they were raised in by being offered a spot at THEE Juilliard, but chose to give up their dreams for a man who stalked and then pressured them into marriage, when she had the choice to say no and have the life she originally wanted. Plus she’s making money off of all this? Yeah, I don’t feel much sympathy for her. We all live with the choices we make.
@@donnie4realshe makes money but I read that the company and the bank accounts are in his name so she doesn't have access to it
It sounds like an abuse story from the start. This man STALKED HER, she refused a date several times, we don’t know what he said or did that finally made her say yes. We don’t know what strings he and his daddy pulled in order to manipulate and control her. Idk how people can see “love” especially after the egg apron. Like he doesn’t care about her AT ALL. He say an ambitious and talented woman and decided he was gonna break her down and turn her into HIS puppet.
My daughter brought this entire "trend" to my attention 3 days ago. Next thing I know, we're on your video. I felt sooo "defeated" by his gift as a last straw. If her ENTIRE following knows she wants nothing more than to go to Greece & her husband is NOT having it, I can find no sympathy. She is complicit. For now. As soon as I heard him say in the apron video, "You're WELCOME!" I heard all I needed. Narcissist. His father owns the FREAKING airlines, too?! The whole family should have been having dinner in Greece every weekend! They have 8 kids, but that didn't happen ALONE. She could have been taking the pill - w/out him knowing, yes! Too many "she could haves/should haves" to list but for now, she's complicit. I do believe that one day she will leave or...worse.
It’s a little more complicated than this because of the religion aspect. She was already brainwashed to a certain way of thinking and how to be submissive because that’s how Mormon women are bred unfortunately. There are sooo many Mormon women who even after they leave the church have to go to therapy to unlearn all of the misogynistic thought processes they’ve been raised to believe to their core. It’s extremely unfortunate.
It seems like it could be a case of DV but there’s no way of knowing forsure.
I do think there’s some serious neglect when it comes to the wife’s needs and health. Her exhaustion, sneaking an epidural, lack of dance room/memorabilia and lack of rest after childbirth shows the neglect
when you said that "she's really pretty, blessed, blessed woman," I couldn't help but disagree. If she wasn't so angelic, if she wasn't so beautiful, then perhaps she would not have been seen as someone else's ticket to a perfect life, at the cost of her own. It is unfortunate that any woman who shines brightly is immediately noticed as a prize to be won.
Yes, its a shame ppl think becaise she looks a certain way mean she is immune. Like you said, if she disnt look that way, she woudnt be used this way and in this case would probably be shamed by him
I’m sorry but what is wrong with this guy thisssss feels like peer pressureeeeeeee
It's not peer pressure, it's a form of DV
@@showtimesolis-yg3it no it is not you need your head examined. I know people who are personally victims of DV and this is not it. Shame on you.
I feel like regret could be missed here. She might have chosen this or assumed it was something better than what she wanted at the time. There wasn’t much time given to her. She went with whatever felt good at that time and maybe she simply feels regret.
Boy...you certainly have a lot of opinions on a person you don't know personally
I am a new follower but I have to disagree the interviewer may be a feminist but she was not wrong she went there with intention because she sees the truth as a hardcore TC watcher please don’t take this wrong way but do some background searching on the LDS Mormon church
I agree with you in the end that we don't KNOW.🎉 She did sound like she shifted her priority towards raising their children in that audio. Also, I wouldn't say this super Mormon farm life is a good representation of what a trad wife actually is..
There are alot of normal people who farm or where a mom/dad stays home, theres actually many in my family. But the tradwife social media trends always seem a bit 1950s aesthetic obsessed and have concerning beliefs. Most stay at home wives I knowdo not wear dresses or makeup and bake bread all day. They hire house help when needed. The dads stay home at times too.They have hobbies outside of family.
This is an example to not be a tradwive
Nah, she’s not a tradwife, she has multiple jobs. Her husband sounds like a psychopath and nothing makes me angrier than billionaires that can’t spare a penny for your hard work, her situation just sounds insane.
I will see how I feel in the future, but now that my company went bankrupt and I’m just working for my husband and on my art I’m very happy and more productive than before.
This has nothing to do with trad wives. It's mormonism and her husband seems like a selfish jerk.
1st. I wonder how she viewed her parents marriage? There’s a reason why she ran off to NYC ASAP! …Did she even complete her mission? 2nd. Any husband of mine better beware, if I get an apron! 😡 Think twice about eating what I fed you! Lol
If you watch a few of this woman's videos ... she will say that they don't do all meals from scratch every day.
the thing that rubs me the wrong way is when ppl say its the religion and she chose this, but if i understod correctly she wasnt even mormon at the beinning?? like yeah her husband was but i believe she was dragged into it before fully understanding the religion itself
She grew up Mormon. Nine siblings.
One of the problems of our society is women thinking that serving an employer or sb else is more important and meaningful than your husband. I am pretty sure she was making a joke in jest about it being a trip to greece.
They own a business and she is the face, thats how influencing works, its not really just one person behind a camera in general, there is usually a team or whatever to manage collaborations, video edit, etc. It's a business.
When I was younger I wanted to have my own career and had dreams of what I might do in the world, and I did them, but then I met my husband and my priorities changed, because when you realise that the most rewarding thing is your family, you will naturally sacrifce other things in your life, thats what parents do, and parents who don't sacrifce anything for their children just see them as a nuisance. She used the past tense, as at that point she wanted to be a ballerina, but anybody in life sacrifices things and, she may have done so prematurely because she was youngish and wanted to study ballet, but as I understand, she did do ballet for many years?
Of course she looks tired, she is mothering 8 young children, but thats part of being a mother, she does it very well in terms of not looking tired, but her hsuband takes care of a lot of the business side.
Men chase women, and often they reject them, people are saying she had no choice in dating him? It was not an arranged marriage, of course she had autonomy to not ever see him again after that flight.
I don't really see so many red flags here like people are saying. I don't understand how 'girl bosses' think its more empowering to slave away at a corporate, than to have the acheviement of children and a man who is faithful to you and takes care of you. A lot of women in their 40s regret their boss girl, individualist, selfish attitude when their body starts to scream at them to reproduce and they cant find a man. I am so happy with my husband but I know if I had the attitude that he should be me a flight to greece, or that my career should come before children, we wouldn't be happy. (also I am pretty sure again, that egg holder present was primarily for the camera and their online personnas.... online life is not real, people must rememeber that).
The only real red flag I see is that they use their children and have them on camera against their own judgement because they are too young to understand consent.
I read the full article. I was horrified. I don’t think anything is wrong with trad wives as I was raised with a SAHM during my formative years with 5 children. This woman runs herself ragged to the point where she’s in bed for a week from exhaustion. That’s crazy and not healthy, like what is she trying to prove? How could you allow your wife to do so much work? And having so many children is not healthy for any woman. She’s endangering her health for followers.
He is manipulative, entitled and controlling. That first "date" on the plane was a sickening power play. Tantamount to stalking. Making every meal from scratch every day for 10 people? Utterly exhausting!!
The egg apron part was sad. My college ex gave me better gifts and vacations than a damn apron 😮💨.. I hope he takes her to Greece soon 🥲
I’ve had random new friends give me better gifts than this. I had a male coworker overheard me saying “I really want a baby tree but can’t find one” around Christmas one year and the next day one was on my desk with some mini hello kitty ornaments. That was more thoughtful and sweet and showed a relatively new coworker knew more about me than this woman’s husband of a decade and a half knows about her- or cares about her.
You're so mean to judge others
@@laurenc4138 wow that was sweet of your coworker! Her husband needs to do better
I was once in a bad relationship and catholic friends told me I need to stay. It made me suicidal
Get better friends, they’ll tel you you’re actually lesbian.
I somehow want to reach out to my mom to ask her what she had to sacrifice because she became a mother. I know every girl has big dreams before becoming moms.
I’ve met a morman couple before , it was a wedding and they were sum guests, les just say that dudes a big weirdo and the lady is in desperate need of help , poor girl was crying behind the venue cuz her husband controls everything, so if this is the same case I feel for her so much , wish I could say something but it wasn’t my place and the dude scares me
Not all Mormons are exact replicas of this. I grew up Mormon, I knew a lot of Mormons. There’s plenty of healthy relationships
@@stillwaterfilms3626 that is true, but to be add to my experience with the one couple I saw, the husband struck me as the type of guy to have ppl follow u for “your own safety”, if ya know what I mean , just the way he was looking around the room like he was angry for no reason, and I guess it’s cuz his wife is a big ppl person she’s very nice ( currently has two kids very beautiful they seem to take after her lol ), but yea it was just uncomfortable in a way but I hope I was just overthinking or overreacting ya know , but definitely something fishy going on we don’t know what
I really appreciate how unbiased your video was! I just saw ballerina farm in my UA-cam recommended and as a stay at home Christian mum I definitely wanted to like her content, but I also vaguely remembered hearing about this drama. I was worried I was headed for a super anti-stay at home mum video 😅 but this was great for hearing what's going on!
Remember we don’t know these people and how they act off camera. Could be better or worse, it’s unfortunately not something we will know because of how easy you can create a fabricated online persona.
So true! Why this video was created? It's just gossip! Thank you for this comment. All other people judge. On what basis?????
I could never and would never depend on anyone to support me.
Not in this day and age
Stop it!! Leave her alone!! Quit being so jealous! Shame on you!
Projecting much, Cynthia?
This person just went on No Jumper and said you cheated on him with his best friend. That’s why I’m back to the channel now
I belong to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and even I don’t think their relationship sounds healthy. I am married in the temple, and while once I have children I plan to stay at home (up to a certain point), it is only because I personally believe it is the best choice for my mental health and my children’s due to my multiple disabilities (autism, etc.). My also autistic husband is not the controlling type, and I am loyal and bisexual. Why am I in the church? It is because I believe I am needed for a reason, and I have had very personal spiritual experiences that tell me it is the right choice. If other people don’t want my choice, I understand. If other people can’t understan, I understand. However, I feel that there are a lot of stereotypes about LDS people, and while there is always some truth to stereotypes, I hope that people don’t judge my life or my husband by the worst examples they hear. Not everyone has what is deemed the stereotypical Mormon or a cult mindset. Even if someone did though, I don’t believe it helps to talk about someone like they have no choice. Especially if it is because you dislike the reasoning and context behind that choice. The minute you do so is the minute the other person shuts down, and whatever good you had to offer will not be accepted. That is human nature in my opinion. Everyone wants to be listened to without judgement. People are more likely to listen to your point of view if you don’t treat them like a scary and/or nonsensical“cult” member. I don’t believe in judging people by the worst examples in their group, and I would hope people would talk to people like me who belong to a “cult” with some degree of respect, even if they might think I’m just another strange, mindless and abused follower. While I believe in my faith, I believe everyone has been given good that they can choose to act on, and if they live and think differently than I do then that’s okay. I believe that “11 We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may.” In any case, those are some thoughts I had. I sincerely hope the UA-camr mentioned finds a way out of that relationship or something miraculously changes about her current one. He is clearly controlling and misuses what is meant to be HIS responsibility and opportunity to serve in his priesthood calling. A priesthood calling should be about Christ, not him. Where I go to church that is not encouraged and would be frowned upon, and I have heard church leaders talk against that behavior. I am sorry that others have experienced otherwise though, and I wish them the best in healing. There are unfortunately people like him out there with that mindset. That is definitely something that needs to be changed.
All of my female Mormon friends are on some form of anti-depressants. Only one works outside the home, despite them all having gone to college. The one who works outside the home is an RN and has four kids. Her life seems more balanced than the other two, but who knows? I've done the work outside the home, even been the breadwinner at times, and also stay at home momma at times. It's all hard! That's what I hope people can understand.
I just found that the part where she wanted a little more time before she submitted to her Mormon fate, and that made me sad. Also, the apron video broke me inside, because he could make another call....but instead he took that moment to break her spirit. Why, if they have a wealthy family, would it be crazy to take a vacation to Greece? I get the vibe that Hannah wants culture for her kids, and Daniel is threatened by that.
Very compassionate summation.
I guess I'm the only one who feels empathy for the animals.
She is not a co-owner he is the CEO and he gets the money from his dad. I like how his dad‘s the CEO and then he passes it on down to his son and his son gets everything that he wants he gets to move out to the mill nowhere he gets to farm. He gets to choose that she’s going to stay at home with the kids, but she is the one that is consistently having to give everything up Her body for the kids, her ballerina career for their marriage now apparently her shed or whatever it was, she was dancing in The fact that she is so sick that she’ll lay in bed for a week and he still refuses to hire help when his dad is a multimillionaire and he Himself has enough money to hire a nanny just shows you how undervalued unloved and unappreciated this woman truly is.
The trip to Greece was just the cherry on top of the cake.
I’ve been Greece I’ve hiked a propolis. I’ve been to Mexico. I’ve hiked through a jungle of Mexico to my temple. I have been to England. I stayed at a haunted inn by the sea. I’ve been to Ephesus and Sardis in Turkey. I have had chicken in Jamaica I’ve been to the Bahamas twice. I’ve been to the Cayman. I’ve been to Puerto Rico. I actually went on horseback through a rainforest in Puerto Rico and then turned around and went through the same rainforest on a four wheeler. I enjoy my life I travel my heart breaks for this woman because she will never ever ever ever have that and she will continue to give and give and give until she is used up, at which point in time he will divorce her and find another
Your analysis is fair and I appreciate you! You are a true journalist.
Oh wow! What a sweet comment, thank you for watching! 🥰❤️
I get that she gets to spend more time with her children in this way of life, but as someone who is an only child and had the attention of both parents all the time, it’s a double sided axe. You receive not only all of the positive attention, but also the negative one from your parents. I sure hope they get along well outside of public, because if her parents stay together because of the religious beliefs, or just for the children (when they don’t get along most of the time), it becomes such a toxic environment. Even more so when they’re homeschooled.
Maybe I’m projecting my own experience a bit, but I hope for their mental health’s sake that they get some rest from time to time, and get to have their own space for themselves. Going to school and having to go to separate jobs sometimes does wonders for self-development and to see other perspectives.
the thing is, she did NOT choose... he TRAPPED her... on that plane and in real life as well... who knows, he could've been dangerous, he could've threatened her ... he literally STALKED her and REFUSED to take her NO for an answer... and to top it off, he seems to be a very controlling husband (not letting her get a word in while being interviewed... always breathing down her neck and not giving her space...)
and don't tell me yall didn't see the utter disappointment on her face when he gave her that apron.
women have been victimized since the beginning of time and to see it happening in 2024 and romanticized by some, even other women, is sad and infuriating...
for her own sake, i really hope she's okay and not trapped or being abused... guess we'll wait and see till they're 50 or something.
No, just nope. That didn't happen. She made a choice. How did he threaten her? Receipts? This is why if she is a victim she will have no where to turn. You perpetrate the same lies an abuser does. She is responsible for her life. She has personal autonomy. She has the power to choose otherwise. Stop it. You hurt victims.
She is an adult and she has to remember that she is responsible for her actions. Only then will she realize. Also, he threatened her? Lol, you watch too many dramas.
I believe her life probably is not what she wishes to be, but now with all the kids she is making the best of it. She didn’t have much of a choice. She was pressure to get married and after that she had to have many kids. I am sure if he didn’t force that 1st date things will be different. Probably her family and his family talked and manipulated her that was the best option or the only option.
I am sure she adores her children but many mom feel that part of them dies when you have children.
I hope she doesn’t have any more kids so she can recharges and take care of her mental health
the husband seems like the type of guy that might be controlling and demanding. The jounalist is sketchy as well and that article feels like a hit peace
Dang- I had to stop watching the video because the wife came out and spoke out against the article debunking everything said in the article. This video disappointed me…
I studied with Jehovah Witnesses for about 2 years and learning about the Mormons kind of reminds me of the Jehovah Witnesses
Yes, both those organizations are cults. They deviated from the teachings and make people work for the love of God, but in reality it's for the organization. You're never good enough. You're always waiting to be punished.
So glad you got out!!
Any “franchise” that announces “we are the ONLY religion that will go to Heaven”, run. False prophets, False doctrines, such nonsense and so easy to disprove. Jesus Christ wants a relationship with you, that is what being a member of the Body of Christ is about.
It's not always easy to say no to something you don't want. Sometimes it's not possible. As life goes on I heard more and more women talking about how it's been being in an @busive relationship and I aknowledge that (even) the kindest, smartest woman out there can be trapped just the way I was. Thinking it won't happen to you because you're better is so disrespectful and entitled.
You people should leave it alone. Let them live without the negativity please!
Thank you as always once again lael for another awesome video and making my day sweetheart! 😊👍❤️
One month of knowing each other to marry is the biggest red flag. The infatuation stage of a relationship is not a good time to get married IMO. They had babies very early in their marriage trapping her further. This is a standard formula for trapping a woman with dreams. She maybe in her 40s or 50s before she realizes the huge error she made. Or if he leaves her for a younger women later. I feel sorry for her.
The reporter may had been bias but she didn't make up their time table.
Women need to be compensated by their husbands for their kabor ie cooking chores childcare. This should not be invisible labor. What if tou get divorced? And he didn't? You with regret it
I gave birth without pain relief to all my children, because I don't want any drugs. Also I don't know what the relationship between that couple is, none of my business (and the mormon sect is weird), but a trully ontrolling man, who sleep deprives his wife would NEVER let her sleep for a week. But stating they use candles instead of electrisity and making conclusions on her dissatisfaction, out of her straight answer to the basic questions "Have you always dreamed of the farm life" is simply incorrect. People's plans change as they grow.
Lael getting roasted by BRIT ..is youtube glory
I’ve always seen these videos on instagram / tik tok and thought they where a little werid thank you for bringing this to our attention lael I’m watching this as I battle my ed and eating apple slices thank you for giving me something to watch rn 😂😂 ❤❤❤❤
It sucks that she can’t have a studio :(
This was a really informative non-biased video about this situation. I definitely think he can do more for her (hire nannies, take her on a trip to greece, build a ballerina studio, getting extra closet space, etc) if he really loved her. I mean those aren't hard things to do especially if you're the son of a billionaire. And the fact that she didn't even wanna go on a date with him but then after the stalkery "flight date" she was enganged, married and then pregnant within 6 months is kinda sus. And him saying "you're welcome" before she said thank you was icky for sure. If she chose this, good for her. Otherwise it's just sad.
Lael thank you for not being one sided.
Just because she didn’t always want something doesn’t mean she didn’t want it when she did it.
I think the article was biased, so I see why conservatives are attacking the journalist.
That said: the video about the apron just says it all. Yes, she chose that life (as much as she could choose it with her upbringing). But the moment he gave her, as a birthday present, an unwrapped egg apron… It doesn’t matter what she says, it doesn’t matter what he says. He’s an ungrateful jerk who takes her for granted. Period. I can ignore what the journalist wrote, but I can’t ignore the fact that she had asked for ticket for Greece and he gave her an APRON. An egg apron, and not even a cute one. He could have gotten her some satin pointe shoes, that would not have been tickets to Greece, but… He could have gotten her a cuter apron made especially for her. He could have taken the time to WRAP UP the present. But no, it seems that he feels like he owns her because of the kids, so she’s not going anywhere. Her poor, fake smile after getting that apron was really sad. So, yeah, I don’t believe the dooming scenario that the journalist portrayed. But I’ve seen the video about the apron, and that’s damning enough.
Was she a Mormon before she met him. If so the husbands are taught that their wives must be obedient to them as head of the household. I am a born again Christian and I worked with a lovely lady whose husband also worked at the same place. She started asking me questions about my Bible reading and Christian life and when he found out, he made her leave and she loved her job. It was so sad but it was a case of ‘My way or the Highway’.
What is wrong with these women that are being so unkind to her. It really looks like she is in an abusive relationship I’ve been there myself so I understand. It’s so sad. I hope she gets away from him. It looks like he made sure that he was going to have her one way or another in the very beginning.
Your hair looks so cute today and a happy day for the rares account
34:14 This is simply what keeps coming up in the algorithm as I look for video essays and commentary videos on recent events. I see her videos on UA-cam shorts every now and then. Aside from that, I am not personally invested beyond the more global conversation of walking away from a situation that is burning you out, and if other people are involved, directly communicate what you need for things to actually be sustainable.
It's depressing to hear about things like this, it just shows me that I can't live even if I move in to a free country...
7:02 exactly she didn’t have a choice. She didn’t accept the day. She was forced to sit next to him, and has been condition by her religion as a woman to be complicit and not complain. Cannot refuse. Keep Sweet, right
Hannah is incredible. I look up to her and what her family is accomplishing so much, especially with farming! It's admirable and honorable to be a hard working Godly wife like she is who makes sacrifices. She embodies the Proverbs 31 woman. She is Mrs. America after all and she didn't get there without her husband's support. She is so happy and has everything a woman who wants that life could want. Being a wife and mother can be hard but it's more rewarding than being single and alone and doing it all on your own. That's the thing when you get married. Sometimes it's hard but it's definitely more hard being single with no support and no purpose in life other to buy clothes and take trips. I would encourage everyone to get to know God, find a good husband, have children and enjoy the riches of that life even if you don't get all the trips or clothes you want. See the good in people. Be blessed :)
Barf.
There is more to this than meets the eye, I'm sure. They are both adults and this is a business.
