They're having their sixth kid. They've kind of all gone insane at this point. The plan to house the kids in their 4 bedroom house is building this "viral" triple bunk bed that they anticipate the kids using until they leave the house... at 18 years old. the other kids will be in a regular set of bunk beds. they're building the thing all wrong, pocket screws, not anchoring to the wall...
they're talking about bolting a jump seat into their fan to accommodate the new kid because the big family vans are "ugly". should have thought of that when you had six boys.
my sister in law drives like a demon out of hell... on her phone, going up one ways the wrong way, backing into things, all over the place. she just doesn't give a shit as she drives. and has all them kids in the car.
when she had her last kid, she drove herself to the hospital while my brother slept because "he has work".. gave birth, drove herself home despite the hospital saying please do not do this. my parents live 2 minutes away... they can watch the kids. she also said the other moms at church are teaching how to handle CPS when they come to the door, so that's neat.
the older kids are now running the house... all cleaning, cooking, tons of chores, etc. they're stressed all the time. the oldest kids are kind of assholes to everyone.. i hate saying that about a kid, and it's not their fault they're that way, but they're nasty to adults, manipulative, mean to each other, try to punch their siblings in the back of the head when they think nobody is looking. the oldest, who was super premature, is showing a lot of signs of autism and ADHD (both of which my brother made fun of him for), has a lot of ticks, walks slumped over, constantly apologizes for everything. he's singled out for punishment by his parents when all the kids get into something. his mom honestly seems like she resents him.
the 4th kid, who was born in texas has a hick accent, which is hilarious. they don't see many folks, so not sure where he gets that, but that's at least fun.
there is nazi shit all over the house. the kids have these weird-ass knock off lego sets that are nazi subs, tanks, etc all covered in swastikas. my brother has a lot of nazi history books with swastikas on them. it's real freaky.
my dad said about 3 words to me the few days we were there. he had a lively conversation with my brother and his wife though about how cool jordan peterson is. so that's super fun. they also are pushing the kids to be watching pragerU videos (and have sent them to my younger brother and his wife before they told her to stop).
they stress me out so much. they're fucking those kids up in a 100 different ways that's going to make it incredibly difficult for them to be functioning adults. they're starting to show signs of being a little scary - parents are skipping all schooling related to biology, they are not teaching them any sex ed, the idea of consent is a joke to them. my brother is constantly ripping on his wife, she's doing these long apologies for stupid shit like getting the wrong gum drops to decorate ginger bread houses. the example of how a man treats a woman between my dad and my brother is fucked.
anyhoo, that's about all i got from this trip. we spent two days, told them we had to leave, and then chilled with our chosen parents for two more days (which was an absolute delight).
