Exactly and if they put that money aside every time they went to buy it they could get some nice second hand beds, I got a really nice metal frame from Salvation Army ☺️and bought a new mattress for $90
Although not the most recommended, they could’ve gone out in the neighborhood and find free bed frames and purchase the mattresses at an inexpensive mattress store, it’s just them making so many excuses..
No but THIS I am a massive stoner and if I set aside the money I spend on weed every month I could buy a kid’s bed in like a month. They need to be sober until they get their shit together
I can’t believe people were trying to argue with you about the cats. They objectively can’t take care of the KIDS they already have. Children take priority over anything or anyone else when it comes to safety and health because they literally can’t provide for themselves. They’re objectively decreasing not only their kids’ quality of life, but the cats’ quality of life by keeping them in that environment. The most responsible thing would be to rehome ALL of the cats. They don’t deserve the luxury of having a pet, let alone the luxury of having children in the first place. They are far too irresponsible, selfish, and neglectful.
Ikr? They shouldn’t own pets if they can’t even take care of their children. They rehomed one because of a medical issue that came up, the possibility that the other pets have something happen to them as well, is incredibly likely. They can’t afford beds, let alone vet visits or pet insurance, cat food, along with flea/tick prevention, litter boxes, litter, etc. They just can’t afford pets.
Nah nothing could make me get rid of my cats, even when we lived in poverty, we still made sure the cat had food and flea treatments. This woman’s just making excuses and spending money on shit that isn’t needed and choosing to starve her kids and neglect her animals. Edit: she could easily give them to someone who would care for them though, even an animal sanctuary. I just think she’s making excuses to make people feel bad and give her money.
As someone who is 100% a cat person, if you cannot safely take care of them it's not kinder to keep them. If the cats are tracking in fleas or other parasites they are also suffering and it is often kinder to rehome them. Rehome, not abandon, not euthanize. Rehome. Somewhere that can give them the care they need. Something they are clearly not getting currently. Not saying it's not hard, that it won't hurt but it is a pet owner's responsibility to give those animals the best care you can, the way you hopefully would want to the rest of your family. They cannot do those things for themselves and a failure to take proper care of them is a failure to be a responsible pet owner.
I second this. I am a cat lady as well, & if I knew I could not provide adequately for my cats & they were suffering with health issues, I would REHOME them to someone I know would take care of them & be able to provide for them what they need. It’s crueler to keep them & allowing them to suffer with bugs & stuff that I know I can not fix. As much as it would hurt me, their wellbeing is my responsibility. My cats eat before I do, just like my kids would if I had any. It’s MY RESPONSIBILITY to make sure they are taken care of. They can’t take care of themselves. Some people are just selfish & sick.
They’re not even responsible parents so I don’t think good reason applies to these people. Their own children are sleeping on a floor while they sleep in a bed so I don’t think they understand that they shouldn’t have even gotten the cats let alone keep them. I’m honestly scared they’re more likely to just abandon the cats than responsibly rehome them which is exactly what needs to happen. I wouldn’t even be shocked if they got another one.
@@sethimonfiresis5846 Oh yeah, the comment was more aimed at anyone who was arguing getting rid of the cats would be emotionally hard. Obviously the adults here are much worse than just irresponsible pet owners.
This hits so fucking hard because the reason I pay so much rent is so the kids can have their own rooms and beds, like I never had growing up. One's mine, one's my partners, but my kids (both of them) will always be taken care of first. My stepdaughter has a nicer bed and bedroom furniture than I do - AND SHE SHOULD. How can anyone not put their kids first?
My mom slept on the couch in the living room for months while me and my sister slept in her bed in her room until we got into a better house. I can’t imagine sleeping in a comfortable bed while your children sleep on a floor. You sounds like a good mom, step kid or bio kid it doesn’t matter, what matters is doing your best which you are! She’ll greatly appreciate it when she’s my age looking back. It’s not insignificant at all, trust me, we remember it all.
Exactly. Children should always be our first. They didn’t ask to be here. The most a patent do is provide the necessities needed to thrive or at least live decently.
The fact that you think a daughter you got by marrying her parent and didn't have yourself should have nicer things than you do tells me a lot about you and it's all fantastic
I feel so bad for stephanies kids when the picture of that kids legs, covered with bug bites I was horrified. How can anyone do that to their child. It's disgusting.
Between the kids and the cats this is truly devastating. I have 6 dogs and I spend so much time washing blankets, cleaning beds, making sure their hygiene is up to par and so on. I could not imagine what things are like in that small living space.
It is disgusting. I know a girl who's 4 year old and 2 year old are ALWAYS covered in scabs. Literally head to toe. She says mosquito bites, I say then take them in to the damn house! The 2 year old is female and always has burnt, cracking and bleeding skin from being left in dirty diapers for hours, and has already had yeast infections. She's a horrible mother, the father is a CM. Dcf is a joke
👋🏽 I'm a single mother of two children, and have been lucky to get Section 8 Housing, after being on the waiting list for years. On section 8, if kids are different genders, they require they have separate rooms, so we always qualified for a 3 bedroom. Anyway, I always gave my kids the bigger rooms and I took the smallest, all I need is somewhere to put my bed and my clothes, but they need space to play and hang out comfortably. My kids needs are always met before my own! A parent should always sacrifice for their children! Thank you for the shout-out as a single mom! It's hard work! And Congrats on 100k! One day you will be as legendary as Julio César Chávez!! 😊
Good job mama! ❤ I know it’s rough but I’m almost done my last one is 15 in 2 weeks and it goes by in a flash and one thing I regret is trying so hard to survive and give what I could to my children and work myself to death and now all these years later my memories are fuzzy sometimes bc I was in always in a hurry for my next paycheck, in a hurry for my next day off, ect ect. I wish I would’ve taken it all in some days, but I do my best to do it now. Money may never not be tight, and there will be days at work that feel never ending. But take it all in. The chaos, the Christmas mornings, the Easter’s, the back to school shopping ect. Love you girl!❤
Single mom of three myself. We luckily qualified for income based housing so our rent is farrrrr less than a lot of folks out here in NW GA. It ain’t easy and I’ve not thought about putting us on the section 8 list here maybe I should, but I don’t want us to stay here forever in Georgia. We want to go back to NC, my oldest wants us to move to FL 😂 but it’s tooo dang hot! Either way we do our absolute best and they always come first, always. I sleep on my bedroom floor so my 12 year old can have his space on my bed. They all have places to sleep off the floor and I want so bad to get them bunk beds to make it even better. That’s gonna have to wait until taxes but everything we do as parents is to make their lives better be I can’t imagine doing it any other way. Idk how people like the Jenkins even exist and how they genuinely don’t put anyone but themselves first….
Exactly this! My kids have always gotten the bigger rooms, we never took the bigger ones.. They deserve to have room for themselves.. We've even slept in the living room so that our kids have their own place .. I didn't have a room as a kid, my sister's did,but I didn't.. it showed exactly how much my mom cared for me.. I slept on the couch for years...
Ah, but do you know why you did everything like this? Because you’re NORMAL!!!! I don’t understand what these two are thinking of??? The no bed thing just blows my mind!!
this whole situation is so bonkers to me. i also live in a 1 bedroom with my son but he's got the bedroom and the queen bed, i'm on a pull out in the living room. it's so important for kids to have their own private space, they're not the best at emotional regulation yet so having that quiet personal space where they can vent and cool down is so vital. it's also ridiculous asf that she's on there begging for cash yet they have their extracurriculars while she admits that their kids have only broken toys or that they have a bad flea problem. they shouldn't even have the cats in the first place, that's a heavy added cost and they're probably feeding them bargain bin food that's just corn/wheat. i don't really like judging but i'm a single narcoleptic mom who doesn't make all that much and i've never once made my kid go without just so i could smoke or buy myself things i don't need. that woman doesn't deserve any of those children, everything i've seen from her is so self centered. i seriously hope something is done about this, it hurts my heart so bad knowing what those kids are going through
It's sad this comment makes me jealous. My mom chose practically everything over me while growing up, and I know when your kid gets older, they'll really understand and appreciate your sacrifices. From my experience, kids will wish for love and a stable home more than a fancy big room with a giant box of toys. If you're loving your kid the way they need to be loved, you're doing it right, even if your financial status is at the minimum requirement.
@@aoifek9709 thank you, i try 😭 i grew up in a similar situation, we barely had food for us yet had a plethora of (expensive!) pets and my parents would rather have their weed than extra food for growing kids or pay the damned money so my sibling and i didn't have head lice for most of our childhood. i know i can't give my son the best but i give him everything he needs and love spoiling him
I can’t even stress HOW DANGEROUS it is to be around cat piss or litter boxes when pregnant. Toxicplasmosis or whatever? Chills. I didn’t do litter when I was, I was terrified
You’re 100% right. When I was going through tech school one of my classmates was pregnant and she was not allowed to care for the cats because she could’ve lost her baby. Good news is that she has a healthy 1 year old boy because she took the proper precautions. I have no idea how this lady doesn’t know about it
Yeah, you're right, but it's also wrong to abandon your cats if you get pregnant ( in their case though, the Jenkins should give their cats up for adoption). But I've read that many people on American IG/tiktok brought their cats to the shelter as soon as the pregnancy test was positive. Like it doesn't work like that... It's just better to keep the house clean, test them for toxo BEFORE you plan on having kids ( and eventually test yourself) and avoid cleaning litter and make them sleep in your bed. Toxoplasmosis is dangerous but it's harmless once you know enough about it :). Nonetheless, they should really give up their cats, I think that even in a shelter cage they would live better. Too many kids and cats in distress pissing everywhere
@@luc.5412 oh totally, the cat was my first Baby! Lol I just think she should have been more sanitary, maybe have the man clean the boxes? Wtf else was he doing besides playing video games? 🤣
@timetravelkitty425 honestly I would kick my boyfriend outta my house if he didn't help, even more with kids involved. We work like crazy but our bills are paid, our pets are clean and fed and when the time will be right our kid/ kids will thrive. I can't believe the misery they are putting their children and pets in....
If Mr Jenkins gets a vasectomy and posts proof I will literally send them $50 🤣. I know for a fact they qualify for Medicaid in Oregon and they will pay for him to get one. Also they def qualify for section 8. If they got approved for an apt they make it affordable so she shouldn't be asking for money lol. Now if Mr Jenkins has drug issues or cases with CPS, he may not qualify to live with them. Or he may not wanna disclose his income on the application cause he owes child support.
I think if you’re married you don’t qualify for Medicaid or section 8. But apparently they’re not married so she should be good. I think if you, as a female, have your boyfriend live with you whilst on section 8, they make you pay more she’d only be qualified for a certain bedroom amount for her biological kids only.
@SickBoiRENegade same in West Virginia. I have a friend that waited 5 years and had to update the application each year to qualify. She's disabled and had to wait that long. It's crazy.
4 cats in a one bedroom is WILD. That’s how many I have living on a farm. And very rarely are they all in the house at once. I can’t imagine being locked in a tiny space with 4 and a bunch of children.
I have 1. 1 cat in my apartmemt. And even that feels too small to me, if I could afford to get a bigger place I would but I'd never add another animal much less children into this.
My girlfriend wants a dog but we're not getting one because our lifestyle currently wouldn't let us care for a dog properly. You have to be ready for pets before you get them. Congrats on the 100k, my dude!
As someone who grew up with fleas caused by animal hoarding, it is traumatic. My legs were scarred and made fun of all my life, it’s never a good solution to mix filth and animals! 22:09
It’s time for family channels to be made illegal…the amount of abuse taking place behind the scenes (and often on camera) is truly disgusting. 8 passengers , DaddyOFive, Fantastic Adventures, Stauffer Life, Ingram Family, The Labrants and Jessfam to name but a few. These channels have been proven to go beyond the exploitation of their children, but have either been proven to, or alleged to have abused their kids. I’m not even going into the ethics and morality surrounding the monetisation of children, from birth in many cases
Yeah theycensor all kinds of language yet there aren’t age restrictions on showing kids. If there’s something we have all learned the last few years, it’s that these sickos are proven to be using what seems to be normal daily innocuous things to get off. Chills.
I think it's because CPS tends to be REALLY shitty. Not only is the foster system even more fucked up and can traumatize these children further (there's plenty, and I mean plenty, of horror stories of people being abused in the system in the US), but because they also suck at just getting a conviction too. If you just quickly clean your house, buy some frames and beds, and shove them in the one bedroom. Make your house look "normal" for your circumstances. They just leave. They wouldn't bat an eye. I've had CPS visit my parents twenty different times in my youth and nothing ever even came from it because there apparently wasn't evidence that anything was wrong. CPS doesn't fix anything. It usually makes it worse. Unless you somehow get lucky with the worker doing the check, and lucky with the foster system.
The Jenkins’s kids definitely need help, but my husband went through 11 foster homes as a child and I wouldn’t wish that fate on any kid. The US foster care system is so damaged that vulnerable children can end up going from a terrible situation with their parents to a terrible situation with strangers. That being said, my husband had ONE foster family who were wonderful and genuinely supported him throughout incredibly tough circumstances. I don’t know what the answer is for the poor Jenkins’s kids; I sincerely wish I did.
I don't think you even know what CPS actually can and would do but they're not fucking super heroes. The kids needing to be saved and involving CPS are two completely separate things and you are the one who needs to bffr. The foster system is worse. These kids would be split up and sent to homes that could easily be much, much worse. People who don't know what the hell they are talking about are the only ones who are always screeching about calling CPS 🙄
@@Ms_Nightshademy ex was a foster kid too. It messes you up so much. Nobody wants kids who aren't babies anymore. He was finally adopted at 15 and they changed his name! His first name! They were super religious pricks (hence the name change to Peter) and he was just lucky he was older so he could move out in a few years.
As a parent who doesn't even let my 10 year old use youtube or yt kids yet, I can't imagine the mindset of "can't wait for them to grow up and have a future in youtube" like what kind of aspiration for your child is that? Not to mention all the child predators just lurking for these kids and easily getting access. My parents used to let me go willy nilly on the computer and I was chatting with all kinds of weirdos online back in the day lol I just don't get some parents.
No one mentioned having 4 cats in a REALLY tiny home. I’ve never owned dogs, but you can probably own more than one and they get along fine. Cats are iffy. They need space to call their own and forcing them into close proximity will only stress them out. My family has 3 cats, they do great though bc we have a larger home and they’re pretty gentle too
Fun fact: cats are actually often just as community oriented and sociable as dogs! In the wild, they often form family or social groups called "colonies" :) You are correct that they require a lot of space though, mostly because they tend to enjoy roaming and athletic activities, and they get tense in spaces that don't allow for that, bur the same can certaily be said of dogs, who tend to get extremely depressed when they don't hace room enough to exercise. There are a lot of great tips online for ways to help make small spaces more cat-friendly, and to help your cats acclimate to that lifestyle, but from what I can see of the Jenkins' family content, they don't put much thought or effort into their living environment, and they should not have either of these animals.

They could so easily put the kids in the bedroom in bunk beds and then get a murphy bed for the adults in the living room. They'd have beds for everyone by utilizing the space well but with a bed that could be put away during the day they'd still have functional space in the living room.
I have three very small dogs-we live in a four bedroom, two bathroom home on an acre of land. We have no children. Sometimes that still feels like a lot to manage and they don’t go to the bathroom indoors. No animal should have to live in those conditions.
I'm barely a few minutes in but I just wanna let you know I've been here since your 60k, and your content just keeps getting better. I'm moroccan and it's so refreshing to find a not only funny arab youtuber but also an open minded one?! you're litterally so cool and I hope you make it to 1m! if you ever want art for your channel let me know :) (free of charge for you habibi)
Congratulations on 100K!! I love your ability to be nuanced, but not fence sit when it comes to things. It's clear you actual consider and research what you're talking about, and it's greatly appreciated. Me, everyone else here, and Julio César Chávez look forward to seeing your channel grow, lol. Such an honor to be a part of your content journey.
This is about to turn into an animal hoarding situation SO fast! They don’t have the money to get those strays spayed and next year they’re going to have dozen of kittens on their hands.
as someone with actual social anxiety i barely even speak publically or post videos/pics of myself; i have a physical reaction (trouble breathing, sweating, coughing/cotton mouth) when speaking to people irl and I actively avoid interactions with strangers unless i have to. miss girl was just nervous but wanted extra sympathy
I completely understand as a fellow person with social anxiety. Cotton mouth is the first thing that gets me and it usually happens while I am anticipating the interaction. Adding a hearing impairment and I am constantly worried that I won’t hear someone correctly and then when I give a strange answer it makes it worse. There was a time where my social anxiety get so bad that I would leave class early to get to my next class before the bell rang. And change in/out of my gym clothes with basically no one in there at end of middle school (~12-13 y/o for non Americans). Medication and many many many years of therapy are the reason I can function with human interactions but some days it is still really bad. Posting is basically a no and public speaking only if I have to and to as few people as possible. I share this to commiserate with you and others with social anxiety and in absolutely no way am I trying to invalidate your struggles/“one up”
I really want a third dog. But I'm not getting one, because right now I don't have the money for a new pup, or the energy, tbh. I need to make sure my two dogs have a little more than enough before I bring in a puppy, so it doesn't risk negatively affecting them. And they aren't children. These people prioritizing anything else before getting their kids beds is mental.
I moved back in with my mom and sisters during the pandemic and it ended up being 4 people and 3 cats in a 2 bedroom 2 bathroom apartment and that was rough. This situation sounds like a literal nightmare. My heart breaks for those kids I kinda genuinely think DSS needs to be harassed over the flea and bedbug situation because I've been bitten by bedbugs recently and it was genuinely such a traumatic experience that I don't go see those people anymore because I don't feel safe in their house (it was on my butt I have a right to be traumatized I had an acute allergic reaction). I feel so bad for these kids as child influencers too because this kind of living situation gets you alienated and bullied at school which I'm sure this mother would just say "oh well I can homeschool!" if her kids got severely bullied. I dont pray much but I'm praying for those poor kids
I have two cats and they are my sweet boys, I've had them for seven years since the day they were born. I understand loving an animal to the point where they are family. However, if it ever came to a point where I was unable to care for them, either due to financial situation or otherwise, then as much as it might break my heart; I WOULD rehome them. Stephanie's cats, a couple of them at least, have severe skin issues and many if not all of them have fleas. She's clearly neither capable nor wanting to meet their basic needs. And now she is looking into adopting strays off the street that may put her current cats and her children at risk of certain diseases or parasites. Not every stray cat is healthy and she's not in the financial area, as she herself states, to provide veterinary care for them. As much as she may love her cats, they're being neglected in one way or another and it is harming them and everyone else in the household. She needs to rehome them, plain and simple.
Yay on the 100K 🎉🎉 Just like the legendary Mexican boxer you're knocking these videos out! I mentioned in the last video how I grew up poor, but never knew as we lived in a poor area and we never went without food, toys, clothes and love, but many children did. My mum would cook from scratch (sometimes with whatever she had left and she'd add tuna pasta bake A LOT as we loved it and it was cheap af to make, I know that now because even with 20 years of inflation its still a cheap and filing dish) I didn't mention it then as I didn't want to share our hardship, but ive thought about it and it kinda relates to this story and I'm not ashamed, in fact I'm extremely proud of my mum. When my mam found out my dad was cheating with another woman, again!! my mother was stuck and left alone with 3 kids in her 20's (I can't imagine the struggle, but she told us we were going on an adventure and we loved it) We moved in to a 1 bedroom flat (an apartment for the Americans lol) Me and my two sisters shared a kingsize mattress and my mum took the sofa. As my dad was violent towards her, she left with nothing but her 3 babies, clothes and we had our toys, colouring books and books packed all huddled in the back of a taxi to our new secret destination) she made everything an adventure. Putting up fairy lights and hanging (beautiful) drapes on the ugly ass walls was fun. Christmas came around and she made us santa stockings out of pillowcases (im gonna cry now, especially as what she said years later broke my heart) To this day, she still feels guilty that she couldn't afford and forgot to bring our stockings we used to put above the gas (council fire, if your from the UK and grew up in government housing, you know the fires I mean lol) She hung them buy our bed and filled them with the typical, an orange, nuts, chocolate and little toys that each suited our different personalities. Years later she told me that was the hardest time of her live and she feels so guilty. I hugged her and said that was one of my favourite times. The late night taxi, sharing a bed with my sisters, the fun homemade stocking (a pillowcases lol) she went above and beyond. I never had my own room as there was 3 of us kids, so me and my little sister shared, we had bunk beds. I had an amazing childhood and I look back in awe at hoy my mam did it. She was only a kid herself. Dam i ring my mam everyday, but I want to ring her now and thank us for always keeping us safe, happy, loved, clean, full bellies, fullof laughter and again love. I can't call her though as shes in bed as she has work in the morning and she will panic if im crying and then be confused (who tf are the jenkins and why are you crying, i know you love me and i love you, now GOODNIGHT" and the phone will go dead 😂 I'll call her in the morning. She also read us a story every night before bed (even when she worked the night shift, it was never my dad or the babysitter, it was her) 😢❤ I was too soft on these people before as I don't like judging and danky handled it so well, but this story just gets worse. Those poor babies should have had that big bed and I'll never forget they weren't playing the playstation (they made them pretend for Tictok) how f'ing crue 😢 I haven't watched yet, I hit pause to say congrats, so.....here goes something that's gonna piss me off 🙄
Yep, im already pissed off as I mentioned, my mother did leave my dad without him knowing, us huddled in the taxi on what was an adventure for us and must have been heartbreaking for my mother, but she hid it behind smiles. Now this woman is faking what millions of women have to do every day just to scrounge money from Tictok ffs
Single mom here! Thanks for the shout-out! Single parenthood is hard but worth it. Saying that there's no excuse for these two. I was pregnant with my son at 19! Having a baby was hard and taught me a lot of lessons. One of those being it's irresponsible to bring more babies into the world when I can't afford it or don't have the means to provide for them. Children deserve lots of love, attention, space to grow and financial support. They're just being reckless at this point. Shame on them.
Congrats on 100k! I’m gonna sound old (even though I’m mid twenties), but I eventually chose to hit the sub button because you’re a young man who LISTENS and always wants to learn. It’s a very admirable quality and I want more young men to see and learn from people like you. Looking forward to what you do next!
I'm in my late 30s and think this lad is darn near an intellectual! Good on you for also being curious. I'm dumb as a post myself, but lucky to know many smart people, and always wanting to learn is how they stay so smart. (Seems obvious, but bears saying anyway!)
on the note of the cats -- it's not good for those poor babies either!! wild to me that people acted like it was a crazy suggestion that they should be taken away. They absolutely should, they should be rehomed to someone/families that can and _will_ take care of them. Why should the cats suffer in misery with fleas and dirt? Cats are inherently very clean creatures (i mean, no animal wants to be dirty, but think about how often they clean themselves), so for them to be in that sort of state is just....appalling. It's sad. My cat is like family to me too, that's my little angel girl and i couldn't imagine parting with her. But fuck, if I was in squalor and she had a chance at something better? To not be flea-ridden? i'd give her up (hopefully to someone I could get her back from in the future if things improved). i feel like people saying that don't know how miserable that situation is for the cats. Try being itchy 24/7, covered in constant filth... and then to bring three more cats into that! 7! it's so expensive to take care of 7 cats!! that's if they even all get along! just..holy fuck.
You have misunderstood, the baby mama from the first video, is the mother of a diffrent son! A son he does not see, because Mr. Jenkins does not want to see him
We dealt with fleas this year for the first time BAD and it was like all the brands of flea medication weren't working! My sister was having the same issue with her cat. BUT my children were NEVER BIT BY A FLEA let alone covered in flea bites! Also, they look like a different bite maybe bed bugs or something bc they're bigger than fleas !!!! I just googled it and yeah def bed bugs!!!
It looks like bruises honestly :( I've never seen bugs do that to someone 😳😡 but if that is bedbugs, it does not surprise me at all. CPS needs called NOW
My good dude, seeing you grow so fast in these last 5 months watching you makes me so actually happy. You've provided me so much very needed escapism, and youre actually genuinely funny. Spitting both facts and the truth. You and Swoop both do that and the personality in your videos is why i keep watching and why they're so interesting. Never change the style of your commetary bro. Congrats on the huge milestone and I honestly can't wait to see what interesting stuff you make next
As a single mom that is currently needing to share a room with my child. I sleep on a pull out trundle while she gets the day bed with a mattress pad on top memory foam matress. When her and I left I packed my car and drove halfway across the country. My car was packed with my bare essentials but most of the space was packed with as much of her toys and items as possible. My child's comfort is more important than my own, even though I suffer with chronic pain, she still gets the best bed of the two of us.
Also, thank you for recognizing us single parents doing our best. A lot of times our work goes unrecognized, unappreciated, and thankless. I was having one of those "I can't do this"/"my kid deserves a better parent" days and that turned it around.
Congratulations on the 100,000 subscribers! This whole situation is just disgusting and unacceptable. I agree that the children should come first. Children are always more important than pets. The more I hear about these parents, the more disgusted I feel.
I saw Danky Jabo at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying. The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first, who do you think you are, legendary Mexican boxer Julio Caesar Chavez?” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter. When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.
Thank you to every influencer who is shedding light on dozens of situations that are so so wrong. These children have no say in any of this. These children deserve better 😪 I would be more than happy to sleep on the floor versus my child.
detailing a car here in the USA means.... cleaning it. Very detailed cleaning like they take your seats out. But he's only just CLEANING THE TIRES. ITS EVEN WORSE THAN YOU THINK
Man this video was really good. You've become one of my new favorite channels. You have very rational and assertive takes on these situations that are grounded in reality and not internet-brain. Legendary Mexican Boxer Julio Caesar Chavez
Congrats on 100k you're genuinely one of my favorite youtubers and im tuning in to EVERY video, keep up the good work ! It's showing that the work you put in is worth it, and you'll only continue to grow. CONGRATULATIONS ! 🥳
my parents got divorced when i was like 2 and i've always mostly lived with my mom, both of us always had a proper bed, but we've always lived in small appartments with one living room and one bedroom (idk if thats called one bedroom appartment english isnt my first language) and i always got the bedroom and she had her bed in the living room
I'm sure she knew about his first son because of the child support garnishments, but I think a lot of people are getting the first son/baby mama confused with his son who lives with them.
CONGRATULATIONS ON A 100K YOU REALLY DESERVE IT!! When I first discovered your channel I was so impressed because I haven't come across any commentary channels where you can really see how much work and research was put into the videos they put out. congrats the 100k is so well deserved.
Everyone knows just having enough for deposit won't get you an apartment. Landlords now require you to have proof of employment, income, and/or rental history. Which all she can't provide. She is a habitual lair. Scammer.
24:42 I have anxiety and depression. And with anxiety comes the social part. I don’t know how to respond to compliments or talk to strangers. You have to talk to me for me to talk. Or I’ll immediately think you hate me without any reason. Yknow, overthinking. My depression makes me indifferent to death, have depression seasons where I feel guilty for nothing, numb, and cry easily or just mask the whole day till I can cry it out. I’m sad how much these disorders are thrown around like it’s a normal thing that everyone suddenly has.
Even if they had ZERO kids, four cats + 3 more is ALOT to upkeep for a 1 bedroom apartment!!! Id say two cats and no more is acceptable .. those poor things
hearing you say you just take a deep breath and walk into a room blew my mind, when i was going to uni and i wasnt early for the class i would sit outside panicking about having to walk in, sometimes id join after the break midway through but it honestly lead to me going to uni and sitting at the campus not even going to the classes because it was too much. im in australia and they have free entry courses with some unis so i didnt lose any money on it but its definitely an experience to look back on
This is FRESH and SPICY! These poor kids... I don't get it, everyone is failing them from their mother to even CPS if they have been called out. I couldn't imagine doing this to my kid.... makes me so, so sad for them.
Single parents often have the motivation and strength of Julio César Chávez, but with a broomstick in hand instead of a boxing glove. The fact that these two fools can't do the bare minimum is honestly just sad.
I started watching this channel because somebody put out a challenge to watch UA-camrs under 20K subs, and I'm delighted for you that that no longer is applicable. Your takes are always really grounded and your commentary hits like Julio Cesar Chavez (did I do that right?)
Congrats on the 100k!!! It only took a couple videos for me to realize i want to keep listening to what you have to say. You seem to have some good points that are well thought out and you are well informed most of the time. I like how you say how you feel without back tracking too much to try not to offend people. It makes your point come across that much more meaningful. You’re doing great. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
The whole cat situation reminds me when I was living in an apartment with a roommate who had a dog and I had one cat in a 3 bedroom apartment. The cat had fleas for weeks and I was getting bit. It was bloody miserable for us both. I couldn’t imagine having this problem but with the addition of 5 kids and 2? other cats in a 1 bedroom apartment. This is a fecking nightmare.
So here's what makes the tyre detailing business even better....is that it doesn't even require any imagination, design or special equipment. Because, it isn't customising the tyres/wheels..... Detailing means cleaning very thoroughly (unless the meaning in the US is very different from the UK). Usually detailing is a very thorough clean inside and out. The detail part is because they literally get in every nook and cranny, with a toothpick, making it look like new. It isn't a fun or easy job.......what is easy is just cleaning the tyres! I wonder if he even does the wheels/alloys or the arches? Does he do motorbikes? Or is it just car tyres? Does he use "back to black", as well as washing it? I mean your car will be filthy but them tyres will shine! Amazing! Also was a bucket, sponge and detailing brush on their Amazon wishlist, did their audience support his entrepreneurial venture?
So happy you got that 100,000! Happy birthday! Ps- Not being able to afford and provide an animal with proper and adequate care, and keeping them simply because YOU love them is cruel to THEM.
I am a huge cat lover but FOUR cats in a 1 bedroom along with 6 people is so disgusting. There is no way that she’s able to keep that place clean and take care of all the children and cats. No living thing should have to live in this situation.
She is so gross! I’ve literally have had to move a friend out within a couple hours. Also, while growing up my mother was apart of a modern Underground Railroad helping abused women and children to safety. People like her are why Underground Railroads exist bc even though only a few people lie about this sort of thing, it hurts the actual victims
That picture of the kid’s legs hit me hard. My birth family were extremely neglectful, and I still have a lot of skin tags from flea bites as a baby/toddler. I got a few removed but some of them were left because we couldn’t find them at first/awkward placing. They’re a constant and painful reminder of my past and I’d hate to think that those kids have to go through the same thing and live with that possible scarring for the rest of their lives. Somebody get them out of there, please! 🙏💔
@@mikehat7652 firstly, you literally can and it takes one google search to prove that BLATANT fact. I still have 3. Secondly, I’m not sure what you’re trying to prove here, buddy.
She has the mindset of a 15yo with her first “real” boyfriend, not seeing that this bum has no intention of supporting her let alone his kids, it’s sickening how she defends his behavior and him as a “man” running from all accountability. She seems extremely immature it’s all so disturbing, they are both mentally disturbed. He literally thinks working a w2 job is below him and there she is like a total idiot backing him up, i can’t.
They can't afford beds, but they can afford Mary J..... priorities...
She also smokes daily. That's expensive, even where she is at I'm told. I can see them going through an oz in a week.
Exactly and if they put that money aside every time they went to buy it they could get some nice second hand beds, I got a really nice metal frame from Salvation Army ☺️and bought a new mattress for $90
Although not the most recommended, they could’ve gone out in the neighborhood and find free bed frames and purchase the mattresses at an inexpensive mattress store, it’s just them making so many excuses..
I knew they were from Portland before they even said they were. There are so many families like this there. Esp in the area she lives in.
No but THIS I am a massive stoner and if I set aside the money I spend on weed every month I could buy a kid’s bed in like a month. They need to be sober until they get their shit together
I can’t believe people were trying to argue with you about the cats. They objectively can’t take care of the KIDS they already have. Children take priority over anything or anyone else when it comes to safety and health because they literally can’t provide for themselves. They’re objectively decreasing not only their kids’ quality of life, but the cats’ quality of life by keeping them in that environment. The most responsible thing would be to rehome ALL of the cats. They don’t deserve the luxury of having a pet, let alone the luxury of having children in the first place. They are far too irresponsible, selfish, and neglectful.
this is exactly what i was thinking
IKR I CANT BELIEVE PEOPLE ARE ARGUING ABT THAT
Ikr? They shouldn’t own pets if they can’t even take care of their children. They rehomed one because of a medical issue that came up, the possibility that the other pets have something happen to them as well, is incredibly likely. They can’t afford beds, let alone vet visits or pet insurance, cat food, along with flea/tick prevention, litter boxes, litter, etc. They just can’t afford pets.
It’s just absurd.
Nah nothing could make me get rid of my cats, even when we lived in poverty, we still made sure the cat had food and flea treatments. This woman’s just making excuses and spending money on shit that isn’t needed and choosing to starve her kids and neglect her animals.
Edit: she could easily give them to someone who would care for them though, even an animal sanctuary. I just think she’s making excuses to make people feel bad and give her money.
As someone who is 100% a cat person, if you cannot safely take care of them it's not kinder to keep them. If the cats are tracking in fleas or other parasites they are also suffering and it is often kinder to rehome them. Rehome, not abandon, not euthanize. Rehome. Somewhere that can give them the care they need. Something they are clearly not getting currently. Not saying it's not hard, that it won't hurt but it is a pet owner's responsibility to give those animals the best care you can, the way you hopefully would want to the rest of your family. They cannot do those things for themselves and a failure to take proper care of them is a failure to be a responsible pet owner.
🙏 💜 💯
I second this. I am a cat lady as well, & if I knew I could not provide adequately for my cats & they were suffering with health issues, I would REHOME them to someone I know would take care of them & be able to provide for them what they need. It’s crueler to keep them & allowing them to suffer with bugs & stuff that I know I can not fix. As much as it would hurt me, their wellbeing is my responsibility. My cats eat before I do, just like my kids would if I had any. It’s MY RESPONSIBILITY to make sure they are taken care of. They can’t take care of themselves. Some people are just selfish & sick.
They’re not even responsible parents so I don’t think good reason applies to these people. Their own children are sleeping on a floor while they sleep in a bed so I don’t think they understand that they shouldn’t have even gotten the cats let alone keep them. I’m honestly scared they’re more likely to just abandon the cats than responsibly rehome them which is exactly what needs to happen. I wouldn’t even be shocked if they got another one.
@ I totally agree. There’s no way in hell I would be sleeping on a comfy bed while my kids slept on the floor. It’s sickening.
@@sethimonfiresis5846 Oh yeah, the comment was more aimed at anyone who was arguing getting rid of the cats would be emotionally hard. Obviously the adults here are much worse than just irresponsible pet owners.
This hits so fucking hard because the reason I pay so much rent is so the kids can have their own rooms and beds, like I never had growing up. One's mine, one's my partners, but my kids (both of them) will always be taken care of first. My stepdaughter has a nicer bed and bedroom furniture than I do - AND SHE SHOULD. How can anyone not put their kids first?
Some people don't deserve children sadly there's nothing we can really do
Love this! Some people put themselves way above their children and give their kids the bare minimum!!
My mom slept on the couch in the living room for months while me and my sister slept in her bed in her room until we got into a better house. I can’t imagine sleeping in a comfortable bed while your children sleep on a floor. You sounds like a good mom, step kid or bio kid it doesn’t matter, what matters is doing your best which you are! She’ll greatly appreciate it when she’s my age looking back. It’s not insignificant at all, trust me, we remember it all.
Exactly. Children should always be our first. They didn’t ask to be here. The most a patent do is provide the necessities needed to thrive or at least live decently.
The fact that you think a daughter you got by marrying her parent and didn't have yourself should have nicer things than you do tells me a lot about you and it's all fantastic
I feel so bad for stephanies kids when the picture of that kids legs, covered with bug bites I was horrified. How can anyone do that to their child. It's disgusting.
Between the kids and the cats this is truly devastating. I have 6 dogs and I spend so much time washing blankets, cleaning beds, making sure their hygiene is up to par and so on. I could not imagine what things are like in that small living space.
@@theblueoutcast3677holy crap dogs are like full time jobs too! your dogs live better than her children 😭💀
@@7ShadowMaiden7that's a wild yet true sentence. It took me back
It is disgusting. I know a girl who's 4 year old and 2 year old are ALWAYS covered in scabs. Literally head to toe. She says mosquito bites, I say then take them in to the damn house! The 2 year old is female and always has burnt, cracking and bleeding skin from being left in dirty diapers for hours, and has already had yeast infections. She's a horrible mother, the father is a CM. Dcf is a joke
Feel bad for all the kids. They are all going to be so messed up
👋🏽 I'm a single mother of two children, and have been lucky to get Section 8 Housing, after being on the waiting list for years. On section 8, if kids are different genders, they require they have separate rooms, so we always qualified for a 3 bedroom. Anyway, I always gave my kids the bigger rooms and I took the smallest, all I need is somewhere to put my bed and my clothes, but they need space to play and hang out comfortably. My kids needs are always met before my own! A parent should always sacrifice for their children! Thank you for the shout-out as a single mom! It's hard work! And Congrats on 100k! One day you will be as legendary as Julio César Chávez!! 😊
Good job mama! ❤ I know it’s rough but I’m almost done my last one is 15 in 2 weeks and it goes by in a flash and one thing I regret is trying so hard to survive and give what I could to my children and work myself to death and now all these years later my memories are fuzzy sometimes bc I was in always in a hurry for my next paycheck, in a hurry for my next day off, ect ect. I wish I would’ve taken it all in some days, but I do my best to do it now. Money may never not be tight, and there will be days at work that feel never ending. But take it all in. The chaos, the Christmas mornings, the Easter’s, the back to school shopping ect. Love you girl!❤
Single mom of three myself. We luckily qualified for income based housing so our rent is farrrrr less than a lot of folks out here in NW GA. It ain’t easy and I’ve not thought about putting us on the section 8 list here maybe I should, but I don’t want us to stay here forever in Georgia. We want to go back to NC, my oldest wants us to move to FL 😂 but it’s tooo dang hot! Either way we do our absolute best and they always come first, always. I sleep on my bedroom floor so my 12 year old can have his space on my bed. They all have places to sleep off the floor and I want so bad to get them bunk beds to make it even better. That’s gonna have to wait until taxes but everything we do as parents is to make their lives better be I can’t imagine doing it any other way. Idk how people like the Jenkins even exist and how they genuinely don’t put anyone but themselves first….
Exactly this! My kids have always gotten the bigger rooms, we never took the bigger ones.. They deserve to have room for themselves.. We've even slept in the living room so that our kids have their own place .. I didn't have a room as a kid, my sister's did,but I didn't.. it showed exactly how much my mom cared for me.. I slept on the couch for years...
Ah, but do you know why you did everything like this? Because you’re NORMAL!!!! I don’t understand what these two are thinking of??? The no bed thing just blows my mind!!
this whole situation is so bonkers to me. i also live in a 1 bedroom with my son but he's got the bedroom and the queen bed, i'm on a pull out in the living room. it's so important for kids to have their own private space, they're not the best at emotional regulation yet so having that quiet personal space where they can vent and cool down is so vital. it's also ridiculous asf that she's on there begging for cash yet they have their extracurriculars while she admits that their kids have only broken toys or that they have a bad flea problem. they shouldn't even have the cats in the first place, that's a heavy added cost and they're probably feeding them bargain bin food that's just corn/wheat. i don't really like judging but i'm a single narcoleptic mom who doesn't make all that much and i've never once made my kid go without just so i could smoke or buy myself things i don't need. that woman doesn't deserve any of those children, everything i've seen from her is so self centered. i seriously hope something is done about this, it hurts my heart so bad knowing what those kids are going through
you sound like a wonderful person and mother
How it should be 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
It's sad this comment makes me jealous. My mom chose practically everything over me while growing up, and I know when your kid gets older, they'll really understand and appreciate your sacrifices. From my experience, kids will wish for love and a stable home more than a fancy big room with a giant box of toys. If you're loving your kid the way they need to be loved, you're doing it right, even if your financial status is at the minimum requirement.
@@aoifek9709 thank you, i try 😭 i grew up in a similar situation, we barely had food for us yet had a plethora of (expensive!) pets and my parents would rather have their weed than extra food for growing kids or pay the damned money so my sibling and i didn't have head lice for most of our childhood. i know i can't give my son the best but i give him everything he needs and love spoiling him
I can’t even stress HOW DANGEROUS it is to be around cat piss or litter boxes when pregnant. Toxicplasmosis or whatever? Chills. I didn’t do litter when I was, I was terrified
You’re 100% right. When I was going through tech school one of my classmates was pregnant and she was not allowed to care for the cats because she could’ve lost her baby.
Good news is that she has a healthy 1 year old boy because she took the proper precautions.
I have no idea how this lady doesn’t know about it
Same!!
Yeah, you're right, but it's also wrong to abandon your cats if you get pregnant ( in their case though, the Jenkins should give their cats up for adoption). But I've read that many people on American IG/tiktok brought their cats to the shelter as soon as the pregnancy test was positive. Like it doesn't work like that... It's just better to keep the house clean, test them for toxo BEFORE you plan on having kids ( and eventually test yourself) and avoid cleaning litter and make them sleep in your bed. Toxoplasmosis is dangerous but it's harmless once you know enough about it :). Nonetheless, they should really give up their cats, I think that even in a shelter cage they would live better. Too many kids and cats in distress pissing everywhere
@@luc.5412 oh totally, the cat was my first Baby! Lol I just think she should have been more sanitary, maybe have the man clean the boxes? Wtf else was he doing besides playing video games? 🤣
@timetravelkitty425 honestly I would kick my boyfriend outta my house if he didn't help, even more with kids involved. We work like crazy but our bills are paid, our pets are clean and fed and when the time will be right our kid/ kids will thrive. I can't believe the misery they are putting their children and pets in....
“this isn’t minecraft his kid didn’t just SPAWN IN” 😂😂😂😂
Even in Minecraft you need enough beds for the kid to spawn in the first place😂😂
@@carloslopez-mq3igLMAOOOO😭😭😭
@@carloslopez-mq3igAnd it still takes two to get the job done
If Mr Jenkins gets a vasectomy and posts proof I will literally send them $50 🤣. I know for a fact they qualify for Medicaid in Oregon and they will pay for him to get one. Also they def qualify for section 8. If they got approved for an apt they make it affordable so she shouldn't be asking for money lol. Now if Mr Jenkins has drug issues or cases with CPS, he may not qualify to live with them. Or he may not wanna disclose his income on the application cause he owes child support.
I think if you’re married you don’t qualify for Medicaid or section 8. But apparently they’re not married so she should be good. I think if you, as a female, have your boyfriend live with you whilst on section 8, they make you pay more she’d only be qualified for a certain bedroom amount for her biological kids only.
Exactly she could get an apartment but she wants this dusty dude
Idk about other states but a friend of mine just applied for section 8 here in Virginia and was told the waiting list is 3-8 years.
@SickBoiRENegade same in West Virginia. I have a friend that waited 5 years and had to update the application each year to qualify. She's disabled and had to wait that long. It's crazy.
@@SickBoiRENegade That's a good point. They should def still be applying tho
4 cats in a one bedroom is WILD. That’s how many I have living on a farm. And very rarely are they all in the house at once. I can’t imagine being locked in a tiny space with 4 and a bunch of children.
I have 4 cats in an entire house and they have an entire room to themselves and sometimes it feels like a lot let alone a 1 bedroom
I have 1. 1 cat in my apartmemt. And even that feels too small to me, if I could afford to get a bigger place I would but I'd never add another animal much less children into this.
@@notavailabletilltomorrowthe litter box smell in that apartment 🤮🤮
My girlfriend wants a dog but we're not getting one because our lifestyle currently wouldn't let us care for a dog properly. You have to be ready for pets before you get them.
Congrats on the 100k, my dude!
I LOVE dogs, but my current lifestyle barely supports my cat. It’s called being ✨responsible✨
Exactly! Stephanie can’t even get the cats skin/flea problem corrected. Imagine a cat get actually sick.
As someone who grew up with fleas caused by animal hoarding, it is traumatic. My legs were scarred and made fun of all my life, it’s never a good solution to mix filth and animals! 22:09
It’s time for family channels to be made illegal…the amount of abuse taking place behind the scenes (and often on camera) is truly disgusting. 8 passengers , DaddyOFive, Fantastic Adventures, Stauffer Life, Ingram Family, The Labrants and Jessfam to name but a few. These channels have been proven to go beyond the exploitation of their children, but have either been proven to, or alleged to have abused their kids. I’m not even going into the ethics and morality surrounding the monetisation of children, from birth in many cases
It’s a lot of these ppl abusing kids for views
Yeah theycensor all kinds of language yet there aren’t age restrictions on showing kids. If there’s something we have all learned the last few years, it’s that these sickos are proven to be using what seems to be normal daily innocuous things to get off. Chills.
You’d like Dad Challenge Podcast. He’s on UA-cam too
And another youtuber I watched had the nerve to say people shouldnt get CPS on these people. Like bffr, the kids need to be SAVED.
I think it's because CPS tends to be REALLY shitty. Not only is the foster system even more fucked up and can traumatize these children further (there's plenty, and I mean plenty, of horror stories of people being abused in the system in the US), but because they also suck at just getting a conviction too. If you just quickly clean your house, buy some frames and beds, and shove them in the one bedroom. Make your house look "normal" for your circumstances. They just leave. They wouldn't bat an eye. I've had CPS visit my parents twenty different times in my youth and nothing ever even came from it because there apparently wasn't evidence that anything was wrong.
CPS doesn't fix anything. It usually makes it worse. Unless you somehow get lucky with the worker doing the check, and lucky with the foster system.
The Jenkins’s kids definitely need help, but my husband went through 11 foster homes as a child and I wouldn’t wish that fate on any kid. The US foster care system is so damaged that vulnerable children can end up going from a terrible situation with their parents to a terrible situation with strangers. That being said, my husband had ONE foster family who were wonderful and genuinely supported him throughout incredibly tough circumstances. I don’t know what the answer is for the poor Jenkins’s kids; I sincerely wish I did.
I don't think you even know what CPS actually can and would do but they're not fucking super heroes. The kids needing to be saved and involving CPS are two completely separate things and you are the one who needs to bffr. The foster system is worse. These kids would be split up and sent to homes that could easily be much, much worse. People who don't know what the hell they are talking about are the only ones who are always screeching about calling CPS 🙄
@@Ms_Nightshademy ex was a foster kid too. It messes you up so much. Nobody wants kids who aren't babies anymore. He was finally adopted at 15 and they changed his name! His first name! They were super religious pricks (hence the name change to Peter) and he was just lucky he was older so he could move out in a few years.
You really overestimate the competency and level of care of the child welfare system in the US
As a parent who doesn't even let my 10 year old use youtube or yt kids yet, I can't imagine the mindset of "can't wait for them to grow up and have a future in youtube" like what kind of aspiration for your child is that? Not to mention all the child predators just lurking for these kids and easily getting access. My parents used to let me go willy nilly on the computer and I was chatting with all kinds of weirdos online back in the day lol I just don't get some parents.
I DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE THAT YOU'RE ALREADY AT 100K😭CONGRATS MAN!!
same! but not surprised at all! hes one of the most empathetic creators out here
Thanks for everything you do and making my day with your videos!! ❤ Also congrats on the milestone!!
No one mentioned having 4 cats in a REALLY tiny home. I’ve never owned dogs, but you can probably own more than one and they get along fine. Cats are iffy. They need space to call their own and forcing them into close proximity will only stress them out. My family has 3 cats, they do great though bc we have a larger home and they’re pretty gentle too
Fun fact: cats are actually often just as community oriented and sociable as dogs! In the wild, they often form family or social groups called "colonies" :)
You are correct that they require a lot of space though, mostly because they tend to enjoy roaming and athletic activities, and they get tense in spaces that don't allow for that, bur the same can certaily be said of dogs, who tend to get extremely depressed when they don't hace room enough to exercise. There are a lot of great tips online for ways to help make small spaces more cat-friendly, and to help your cats acclimate to that lifestyle, but from what I can see of the Jenkins' family content, they don't put much thought or effort into their living environment, and they should not have either of these animals.

They could so easily put the kids in the bedroom in bunk beds and then get a murphy bed for the adults in the living room. They'd have beds for everyone by utilizing the space well but with a bed that could be put away during the day they'd still have functional space in the living room.
I have three very small dogs-we live in a four bedroom, two bathroom home on an acre of land. We have no children. Sometimes that still feels like a lot to manage and they don’t go to the bathroom indoors. No animal should have to live in those conditions.

This is about to turn into an animal hoarding situation SO fast! They don’t have the money to get those strays spayed and next year they’re going to have dozen of kittens on their hands.
My guess is they would sell the kittens. Probably earlier than they should be seperated from their mothers and likely not super healthy either.
as someone with actual social anxiety i barely even speak publically or post videos/pics of myself; i have a physical reaction (trouble breathing, sweating, coughing/cotton mouth) when speaking to people irl and I actively avoid interactions with strangers unless i have to. miss girl was just nervous but wanted extra sympathy
I completely understand as a fellow person with social anxiety. Cotton mouth is the first thing that gets me and it usually happens while I am anticipating the interaction. Adding a hearing impairment and I am constantly worried that I won’t hear someone correctly and then when I give a strange answer it makes it worse.
There was a time where my social anxiety get so bad that I would leave class early to get to my next class before the bell rang. And change in/out of my gym clothes with basically no one in there at end of middle school (~12-13 y/o for non Americans). Medication and many many many years of therapy are the reason I can function with human interactions but some days it is still really bad. Posting is basically a no and public speaking only if I have to and to as few people as possible.
I share this to commiserate with you and others with social anxiety and in absolutely no way am I trying to invalidate your struggles/“one up”
four cats in a one bedroom apartment is already insane even without five kids, jesus h christ
Right as I started getting bored and need a video to watch, love you man.
Sameeeee
God with every video I’ve watched in the last 48 hours, there’s always one that fills in gaps the previous didn’t even seem to know about. 😮💨💀
I really want a third dog. But I'm not getting one, because right now I don't have the money for a new pup, or the energy, tbh. I need to make sure my two dogs have a little more than enough before I bring in a puppy, so it doesn't risk negatively affecting them. And they aren't children. These people prioritizing anything else before getting their kids beds is mental.
I moved back in with my mom and sisters during the pandemic and it ended up being 4 people and 3 cats in a 2 bedroom 2 bathroom apartment and that was rough. This situation sounds like a literal nightmare. My heart breaks for those kids I kinda genuinely think DSS needs to be harassed over the flea and bedbug situation because I've been bitten by bedbugs recently and it was genuinely such a traumatic experience that I don't go see those people anymore because I don't feel safe in their house (it was on my butt I have a right to be traumatized I had an acute allergic reaction). I feel so bad for these kids as child influencers too because this kind of living situation gets you alienated and bullied at school which I'm sure this mother would just say "oh well I can homeschool!" if her kids got severely bullied. I dont pray much but I'm praying for those poor kids
15:25 when you accidentally played the ad 😭😭 ive been dying at this for 10 mins
10:35 my mouth dropped. im sorry why does this monster keep cosplaying as a human male ?
I have two cats and they are my sweet boys, I've had them for seven years since the day they were born. I understand loving an animal to the point where they are family. However, if it ever came to a point where I was unable to care for them, either due to financial situation or otherwise, then as much as it might break my heart; I WOULD rehome them.
Stephanie's cats, a couple of them at least, have severe skin issues and many if not all of them have fleas. She's clearly neither capable nor wanting to meet their basic needs. And now she is looking into adopting strays off the street that may put her current cats and her children at risk of certain diseases or parasites. Not every stray cat is healthy and she's not in the financial area, as she herself states, to provide veterinary care for them.
As much as she may love her cats, they're being neglected in one way or another and it is harming them and everyone else in the household. She needs to rehome them, plain and simple.
Yay on the 100K 🎉🎉
Just like the legendary Mexican boxer you're knocking these videos out!
I mentioned in the last video how I grew up poor, but never knew as we lived in a poor area and we never went without food, toys, clothes and love, but many children did.
My mum would cook from scratch (sometimes with whatever she had left and she'd add tuna pasta bake A LOT as we loved it and it was cheap af to make, I know that now because even with 20 years of inflation its still a cheap and filing dish)
I didn't mention it then as I didn't want to share our hardship, but ive thought about it and it kinda relates to this story and I'm not ashamed, in fact I'm extremely proud of my mum.
When my mam found out my dad was cheating with another woman, again!! my mother was stuck and left alone with 3 kids in her 20's (I can't imagine the struggle, but she told us we were going on an adventure and we loved it)
We moved in to a 1 bedroom flat (an apartment for the Americans lol)
Me and my two sisters shared a kingsize mattress and my mum took the sofa.
As my dad was violent towards her, she left with nothing but her 3 babies, clothes and we had our toys, colouring books and books packed all huddled in the back of a taxi to our new secret destination) she made everything an adventure. Putting up fairy lights and hanging (beautiful) drapes on the ugly ass walls was fun.
Christmas came around and she made us santa stockings out of pillowcases (im gonna cry now, especially as what she said years later broke my heart)
To this day, she still feels guilty that she couldn't afford and forgot to bring our stockings we used to put above the gas (council fire, if your from the UK and grew up in government housing, you know the fires I mean lol)
She hung them buy our bed and filled them with the typical, an orange, nuts, chocolate and little toys that each suited our different personalities.
Years later she told me that was the hardest time of her live and she feels so guilty. I hugged her and said that was one of my favourite times. The late night taxi, sharing a bed with my sisters, the fun homemade stocking (a pillowcases lol) she went above and beyond.
I never had my own room as there was 3 of us kids, so me and my little sister shared, we had bunk beds.
I had an amazing childhood and I look back in awe at hoy my mam did it.
She was only a kid herself. Dam i ring my mam everyday, but I want to ring her now and thank us for always keeping us safe, happy, loved, clean, full bellies, fullof laughter and again love. I can't call her though as shes in bed as she has work in the morning and she will panic if im crying and then be confused (who tf are the jenkins and why are you crying, i know you love me and i love you, now GOODNIGHT" and the phone will go dead 😂
I'll call her in the morning.
She also read us a story every night before bed (even when she worked the night shift, it was never my dad or the babysitter, it was her) 😢❤
I was too soft on these people before as I don't like judging and danky handled it so well, but this story just gets worse. Those poor babies should have had that big bed and I'll never forget they weren't playing the playstation (they made them pretend for Tictok) how f'ing crue 😢
I haven't watched yet, I hit pause to say congrats, so.....here goes something that's gonna piss me off 🙄
Yep, im already pissed off as I mentioned, my mother did leave my dad without him knowing, us huddled in the taxi on what was an adventure for us and must have been heartbreaking for my mother, but she hid it behind smiles.
Now this woman is faking what millions of women have to do every day just to scrounge money from Tictok ffs
10:05 ChrisChan number 2 🤮🤮🤮🤮 I literally can’t. WHY ARE PEOPLE ASSAULTING THEIR MOTHERS?!??!
Single mom here! Thanks for the shout-out! Single parenthood is hard but worth it.
Saying that there's no excuse for these two. I was pregnant with my son at 19! Having a baby was hard and taught me a lot of lessons. One of those being it's irresponsible to bring more babies into the world when I can't afford it or don't have the means to provide for them. Children deserve lots of love, attention, space to grow and financial support. They're just being reckless at this point. Shame on them.
truly the best video you've made since julio's last win!
I literally just finished the first video 5 minutes ago AND THERES MORE 😭
this family is a mess.. thank you for making an update cause holy shit
Congrats on 100k! I’m gonna sound old (even though I’m mid twenties), but I eventually chose to hit the sub button because you’re a young man who LISTENS and always wants to learn. It’s a very admirable quality and I want more young men to see and learn from people like you. Looking forward to what you do next!
I'm in my late 30s and think this lad is darn near an intellectual!
Good on you for also being curious. I'm dumb as a post myself, but lucky to know many smart people, and always wanting to learn is how they stay so smart.
(Seems obvious, but bears saying anyway!)
“He’s a bouquet of bums,he’s a tray of bums…etc,etc,” I’m done lol 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💀💀💀
on the note of the cats -- it's not good for those poor babies either!! wild to me that people acted like it was a crazy suggestion that they should be taken away. They absolutely should, they should be rehomed to someone/families that can and _will_ take care of them. Why should the cats suffer in misery with fleas and dirt? Cats are inherently very clean creatures (i mean, no animal wants to be dirty, but think about how often they clean themselves), so for them to be in that sort of state is just....appalling. It's sad. My cat is like family to me too, that's my little angel girl and i couldn't imagine parting with her. But fuck, if I was in squalor and she had a chance at something better? To not be flea-ridden? i'd give her up (hopefully to someone I could get her back from in the future if things improved). i feel like people saying that don't know how miserable that situation is for the cats. Try being itchy 24/7, covered in constant filth... and then to bring three more cats into that! 7! it's so expensive to take care of 7 cats!! that's if they even all get along! just..holy fuck.
Wait...
... They have SEVEN CATS???
👹
I thought they had TWO!
And, I thought that was bad enough.
@@redwoodrebelgirl3010 3 out of the 7 are strays they seem to plan to "take in"
You have misunderstood, the baby mama from the first video, is the mother of a diffrent son! A son he does not see, because Mr. Jenkins does not want to see him
We dealt with fleas this year for the first time BAD and it was like all the brands of flea medication weren't working! My sister was having the same issue with her cat. BUT my children were NEVER BIT BY A FLEA let alone covered in flea bites! Also, they look like a different bite maybe bed bugs or something bc they're bigger than fleas !!!! I just googled it and yeah def bed bugs!!!
It looks like bruises honestly :( I've never seen bugs do that to someone 😳😡 but if that is bedbugs, it does not surprise me at all. CPS needs called NOW
My good dude, seeing you grow so fast in these last 5 months watching you makes me so actually happy. You've provided me so much very needed escapism, and youre actually genuinely funny. Spitting both facts and the truth. You and Swoop both do that and the personality in your videos is why i keep watching and why they're so interesting. Never change the style of your commetary bro. Congrats on the huge milestone and I honestly can't wait to see what interesting stuff you make next
As a single mom that is currently needing to share a room with my child. I sleep on a pull out trundle while she gets the day bed with a mattress pad on top memory foam matress. When her and I left I packed my car and drove halfway across the country. My car was packed with my bare essentials but most of the space was packed with as much of her toys and items as possible. My child's comfort is more important than my own, even though I suffer with chronic pain, she still gets the best bed of the two of us.
I genuinely love your style and commentary so much! I’m so proud of you man!! Literally cheered when I saw that you had posted!
Also, thank you for recognizing us single parents doing our best. A lot of times our work goes unrecognized, unappreciated, and thankless. I was having one of those "I can't do this"/"my kid deserves a better parent" days and that turned it around.
From the single mom over here, thanks for the shout out! Lol
Congratulations on the 100,000 subscribers! This whole situation is just disgusting and unacceptable. I agree that the children should come first. Children are always more important than pets. The more I hear about these parents, the more disgusted I feel.
This drama is actually insane
I saw Danky Jabo at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first, who do you think you are, legendary Mexican boxer Julio Caesar Chavez?” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.
Thank you to every influencer who is shedding light on dozens of situations that are so so wrong. These children have no say in any of this. These children deserve better 😪 I would be more than happy to sleep on the floor versus my child.
I hope this guy continues to grow bc he deserves it a lot ore than other ppl
detailing a car here in the USA means.... cleaning it. Very detailed cleaning like they take your seats out. But he's only just CLEANING THE TIRES. ITS EVEN WORSE THAN YOU THINK
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
What a joke that freak is.
In my opinion.
Man this video was really good. You've become one of my new favorite channels. You have very rational and assertive takes on these situations that are grounded in reality and not internet-brain. Legendary Mexican Boxer Julio Caesar Chavez
Congrats on 100k you're genuinely one of my favorite youtubers and im tuning in to EVERY video, keep up the good work ! It's showing that the work you put in is worth it, and you'll only continue to grow. CONGRATULATIONS ! 🥳
"It's difficult to read bullshit" Kill me more than I thought it would hahaha!
I am so glad I came across you. You make such valid points, but are also compassionate and funny. Congrats on the 100k, you really deserve it ❤🎉
my parents got divorced when i was like 2 and i've always mostly lived with my mom, both of us always had a proper bed, but we've always lived in small appartments with one living room and one bedroom (idk if thats called one bedroom appartment english isnt my first language) and i always got the bedroom and she had her bed in the living room
I'm sure she knew about his first son because of the child support garnishments, but I think a lot of people are getting the first son/baby mama confused with his son who lives with them.
CONGRATULATIONS ON A 100K YOU REALLY DESERVE IT!! When I first discovered your channel I was so impressed because I haven't come across any commentary channels where you can really see how much work and research was put into the videos they put out. congrats the 100k is so well deserved.
andrews job is waking up early to calculate big moves for his family remember 🤣
Everyone knows just having enough for deposit won't get you an apartment. Landlords now require you to have proof of employment, income, and/or rental history. Which all she can't provide. She is a habitual lair. Scammer.
Right on time, thank you

I have anxiety and depression. And with anxiety comes the social part. I don’t know how to respond to compliments or talk to strangers. You have to talk to me for me to talk. Or I’ll immediately think you hate me without any reason. Yknow, overthinking. My depression makes me indifferent to death, have depression seasons where I feel guilty for nothing, numb, and cry easily or just mask the whole day till I can cry it out.
I’m sad how much these disorders are thrown around like it’s a normal thing that everyone suddenly has.
Even if they had ZERO kids, four cats + 3 more is ALOT to upkeep for a 1 bedroom apartment!!! Id say two cats and no more is acceptable .. those poor things
hearing you say you just take a deep breath and walk into a room blew my mind, when i was going to uni and i wasnt early for the class i would sit outside panicking about having to walk in, sometimes id join after the break midway through but it honestly lead to me going to uni and sitting at the campus not even going to the classes because it was too much. im in australia and they have free entry courses with some unis so i didnt lose any money on it but its definitely an experience to look back on
The whole "I don't do gentle parenting" bit is so much more sinister now. Like lady, you are straight up abusing your kids at this point, full stop.
This is FRESH and SPICY! These poor kids... I don't get it, everyone is failing them from their mother to even CPS if they have been called out. I couldn't imagine doing this to my kid.... makes me so, so sad for them.
Cant believe I got here so soon, love you man! I always wanted to say your videos help me get through my day.
"This goes in here! And then a person comes out! ITS MAGIC!" 😂😂
Single parents often have the motivation and strength of Julio César Chávez, but with a broomstick in hand instead of a boxing glove. The fact that these two fools can't do the bare minimum is honestly just sad.
CONGRATS ON 100K !!! You're actually one of the best commentary out there right now, you deserve the success !
I started watching this channel because somebody put out a challenge to watch UA-camrs under 20K subs, and I'm delighted for you that that no longer is applicable. Your takes are always really grounded and your commentary hits like Julio Cesar Chavez (did I do that right?)
Congrats on the 100k!!! It only took a couple videos for me to realize i want to keep listening to what you have to say. You seem to have some good points that are well thought out and you are well informed most of the time. I like how you say how you feel without back tracking too much to try not to offend people. It makes your point come across that much more meaningful. You’re doing great. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This reminds me of the family van lifers who make their children sleep in little bed/the couch while they get a queen bed smh
Single mom here, I can’t believe the way this woman forces her kids to live. I sacrificed for my kids, they always had real beds, even when I didn’t.
Congrats on 100k so glad to see you hit that goal bro. Proud of you!
The whole cat situation reminds me when I was living in an apartment with a roommate who had a dog and I had one cat in a 3 bedroom apartment. The cat had fleas for weeks and I was getting bit. It was bloody miserable for us both. I couldn’t imagine having this problem but with the addition of 5 kids and 2? other cats in a 1 bedroom apartment. This is a fecking nightmare.
AYYY DAVEED DIGGS IS BACK
literally cheered when you announced 100k. so happy for you, you deserve it. you have very quickly become one of my favorite youtubers, such a vibe
omg i saw the filmcooper vid on this, thanks for following up this is very interesting
NO WAY ANOTHER FILM COOPER FAN⁉️⁉️⁉️
It’s so crazy to me that you don’t have at least 300k yet, love your vids!
So here's what makes the tyre detailing business even better....is that it doesn't even require any imagination, design or special equipment. Because, it isn't customising the tyres/wheels.....
Detailing means cleaning very thoroughly (unless the meaning in the US is very different from the UK). Usually detailing is a very thorough clean inside and out. The detail part is because they literally get in every nook and cranny, with a toothpick, making it look like new. It isn't a fun or easy job.......what is easy is just cleaning the tyres!
I wonder if he even does the wheels/alloys or the arches? Does he do motorbikes? Or is it just car tyres? Does he use "back to black", as well as washing it?
I mean your car will be filthy but them tyres will shine! Amazing!
Also was a bucket, sponge and detailing brush on their Amazon wishlist, did their audience support his entrepreneurial venture?
literally imagine going to a detailing and they only do your tires 💀
Sad as hell I’m not here before 100K but glad to be here before 120K! It’s been so long that I genuinely enjoy a UA-cam channel. Glad to be here. 🖤
5:10 was craaazy bruh😂
So happy you got that 100,000! Happy birthday!
Ps- Not being able to afford and provide an animal with proper and adequate care, and keeping them simply because YOU love them is cruel to THEM.
Congratulations on reaching 100k, you deserve it, you're so real ❤
CONGRATS FOR THE 100,000! It is well deserved.
"Andrew, you're a bum."😂😂😂😂
As someone with 2 cats and a large dog in a 3 bedroom house, 4 cats is entirely too many for a 1 bedroom apartment
I am a huge cat lover but FOUR cats in a 1 bedroom along with 6 people is so disgusting. There is no way that she’s able to keep that place clean and take care of all the children and cats. No living thing should have to live in this situation.
She is so gross! I’ve literally have had to move a friend out within a couple hours. Also, while growing up my mother was apart of a modern Underground Railroad helping abused women and children to safety. People like her are why Underground Railroads exist bc even though only a few people lie about this sort of thing, it hurts the actual victims
That picture of the kid’s legs hit me hard. My birth family were extremely neglectful, and I still have a lot of skin tags from flea bites as a baby/toddler. I got a few removed but some of them were left because we couldn’t find them at first/awkward placing. They’re a constant and painful reminder of my past and I’d hate to think that those kids have to go through the same thing and live with that possible scarring for the rest of their lives. Somebody get them out of there, please! 🙏💔
You can't get skin tags from flea bites
@ dude, yes you can. 😭😭 1) I have them from flea bites, 2) literally look it up and one google search tells you that you can
@@mikehat7652
firstly, you literally can and it takes one google search to prove that BLATANT fact. I still have 3. Secondly, I’m not sure what you’re trying to prove here, buddy.
She has the mindset of a 15yo with her first “real” boyfriend, not seeing that this bum has no intention of supporting her let alone his kids, it’s sickening how she defends his behavior and him as a “man” running from all accountability. She seems extremely immature it’s all so disturbing, they are both mentally disturbed. He literally thinks working a w2 job is below him and there she is like a total idiot backing him up, i can’t.
