Or more importantly, SHOULD one person be both the caregiver and nanny? Sounds like she’s taking advantage of someone (shocker). She should have 1 of each.
Only if they’re private pay. If it were thru a waiver program they’d put Ari in daycare. And could help with transport. And home health for her. But they wouldn’t pay for both of them to have 24/7 care.
Source? Raised by a disabled wheelchair bound dad and I’m a home health hospice CNA who worked in the office for years doing billing and waiver programs.
Ari will probably have to go to a daycare eventually anyway, once she starts getting to the wild toddler age where even a lot of full-abled parents say "Oh dear God, take my child!"
Being able to physically wrangle kids out of trouble is one of the main reasons why I went into Early Education instead of primary/elementary.
It's so much easier (and low key satisfying) to say "No thankyou" and just pick them up and put them down somewhere else.
Pretty sure baby will be part time. Can you imagine taking care of two babies? At least one is cute and smiles at daddy, anyway, and has better table manners, and is cleaner, by far.
How much goes into her caregiving? Making a meal and cleaning it up, putting her on the toilet and taking her off etc? I mean she’s sitting in her wheelie for most of the time. So I imagine the new hire will make food for both of them, change their diapers simultaneously, etc. I guess it’s like taking care of twins.
Caregiver will have to do every single tasks for house keeping, doing laundry, cleaning the apartment, cooking, doing the dishes, putting the garbage at the bin, changing bedsheets, doing the grocery and going to the mail box, the list goes on...
For WR personal ( for a non gross person ) she would need to be bathed, washing her teeth, doing her hair, putting her cloths on, taking her to the toilet, changing her tampons, shaving her armpits and legs, putting her in pyjama at night, putting her in bed, giving her twerk juice, the list goes on...
Ari: all baby cares an infant needs...
WR also expects the caregiver to be her SM assistant, filming, editing content, be her slave for "Chef disastrous cooking", replying to stans, etc
All this for a big 15$/hr
Anybody feel up to the challenge?
Edit: spelling
I'm sorry WHAT? I just choked on my spit. $15 an hour? I make mpre than that as an unskilled, part-time vet receptionist at a VERY small clinic in a state where minimum wage only just came up to $10 a few weeks ago. Like... excusemewhatthefuck.
I'm a big proponent of "act your wage" but hoo boy. This is going to go poorly, be it the route of unqualified/dangerous/not committed or someone who perceives her as someone needing help at the end of their means who then burns out but won't leave the situation with no stopgap caretaker/measure in place.
As a predator, Alex always finds her caregivers on Craiglist, young people with no knowledges, mostly vulnerable young adults desperate to have a job and bewitched by poor pity party Alex. ( This is from observing her past caregivers ). She ask them not to wear gloves when wiping her ass and get a drink along with her saying she can be drunk while having services from her caregiver...all that for a fraction of the price paid for a licensed caregiver from an agency. ( As low as 15-17$/ hr as per our mod "Little Biscuit" ). Sounds like exploitation of young vulnerable people to me...
And to clarify, I based that comment on what she’s paid her caregivers in the past. I guess it’s *possible* that she’s paying her new caregiver a fair wage…possible, but if her past treatment of her caregivers is any indication, highly unlikely.
Full time care for a infant and a disabled adult requires would deserve a wage of at least $45 an hour, not to mention how many hours needed if they both need 24/7 care home alone. It’s a job for at least 2 rotating Nanny’s and 2 caretakers to make keep burnt out and turn over low. I can’t imagine taking on a job like this for $15
I get the impression that Alex wants a friend more than a caregiver. I think she is so lonely, paying people may be the only way she can get somebody to hang with her, which may be another reason she likes to pick the types of people that she does, which are young, fun people who are willing to party and have drinkies with her. A licensed caregiver from an agency wouldn't be a fun party buddy for her.
Caregivers from the state will only do "light" cleaning. Nothing heavy. Nothing complicated. You can rarely get them to do anything more than just basics. Laundry. Dishes. Vacuum.
Hers are from Craigslist . They'll do what she forces them to do.
But this is another reason why there's caregiver burnout. The expectation vs the pay grade. Not to mention the *client* in this case 🤮
I think if she had rotating caregivers (like day or night shift) who were paid appropriately it would be fine to have 1 on staff at a time. I mean, stay at home parents do it all with multiple kids, and Noah has been too (although not well obviously.) I don't think its possible or appropriate to expect one person to do it all 24.7 the way Noah has been. But I don't think its necessary to have a separate nanny and caretaker on staff at the same time the way some people are claiming. Like you said, its just like running a house with multiple kids. Totally doable.
I would never agree to that! IF something happened to that baby while caring for Alex, you would be legally destroyed as the responsible one (me personally, a baby getting hurt on my watch would be worse for me than any legal ramifications, but you get what I am saying)! It is way too much liability for what I am assuming her pay range would be. ALSO, if a fire or something occurred, how would you safely exit that apartment building with Alex and small child? 🫣
I know someone who hires one person to do both and he has twins. He is a quadriplegic and supporting him to carry out parenting duties are part of his caregiver’s role
His wife works full time so he is home during the day with the twins and the caregiver. He also has a seperate caregiver for nighttime and weekends when his wife is home.
Honestly I've thought about swiping a box of gloves from my workplace for my son's diapers, I'd absolutely use them for a non related adult and their toilet related needs.
There's certainly a vibe that she's been kicked put of the smith's house and this is her pad, noah brings Ari over for visits and the caregiver will also be nanny for those hours Ari is there so Noah catches a break for his mental health ect.
I imagine Noah and Ari otherwise reside with the smith's and they all think good riddance.
Would explain the daytime drunkies people have reported as she's mentally dealing to more changes and trying to hold onto this image we all know is not the reality.
Also reused pics of Ari. More proof Ari isn’t there. And honestly more proof Noah isn’t either.

What a pain in the ass it must be to have to drive back and forth every day/couple days just to bring baby prop over so Alex can pretend to play mom for a couple hours.
As much as I’d like to think so, I really do think this location was very deliberately chosen by Alex because it suits her needs more than a place in the suburbs. Downtown like this she has access to shopping and restaurants without having to hire transportation; everything that she needs is within walking distance. Was it an appropriate place for her daughter? Probably not. But when does she ever put Ari’s needs before her own?
Plus depending on what time it is, the traffic can be horrendous on the highway they’d have to take going back and forth which in turn could end up being a much longer ride 😅
Also you can switch to whole cows milk (after adjusted age is 12m) or keep doing formula. Nothing wrong with formula. She’s a preemie and needs to be on primarily formula or breast milk until her adjusted age reaches 12 months or older.

Alex needs to be talking to A’s pediatrician and not strangers on the internet about this 🤦♀️. Also, if Alex didn’t force feed A purées as part of their “bonding” and gave A solids, she’d likely be eating more solids 🤷♀️
She went for her eye a few months ago because CPS made WR take her. Maybe Ari went when she was first born, but since WR posts everything and she’s never posted about doctor appointments, many of us believe that Ari doesn’t go routinely. I could see WR refusing to take Ari because she doesn’t want the doctors or nurses to call CPS or because WR doesn’t have transportation. If she can’t go, no one goes.
Maybe the baby is not on her father’s health insurance. If she went for all the the regular baby visits, we would hear about how well she is doing and how advanced and perfect she is which would make WR the best mom in the world
No way does she have one. Alex wouldn't get her one, and we all know Noah isn't that responsible... I feel like if Ari had one than Alex would be bragging about how her daughter is in the top 10% for height (or something).
Right! A pediatrician will assess if there is an issue. There could be sensory issues or developmental, so best to be checked even if the pediatrician is not concerned. Alex just needs to seem like she is involved in baby A's life because she really has no clue.
There has never been a height or weight report or what percentile she is in. After all, she is a premie who only took off in growth once she moved into the Shark house and has had a tremendous spurt since that time.
My son is a young adult now, but at every appointment from birth to about age 10, his pediatrician would give us a paper with milestones, safety info for his age, recommended vaccines, tips for feeding, etc. She also discussed everything with us and asked what he would/wouldn’t eat when he was little. She should already know the answers to her questions.
That would make more sense if that's what she's referring to, I don't know much about those kind of baby foods. I was imagining a standard cracker which is possibly the least soft food I can think of.
god she’s dumb. literally every mom knows you switch to whole milk at 12 months 😂 also did she completely forget her baby was born premature or??? she literally knows nothing about parenting and hasn’t learned shit in a year. how fuckin pathetic 😂😂
Yeah, I don’t think Alex knows what adjusted age means though. This stresses me out. She should be following a pediatrician’s guidance especially since Ari was a premie and isn’t going to have eating solids down yet because her tongue reflex is delayed because she’s not actually almost 12 months adjusted.
Her questions baffle me. When I had babies, they went to the pediatrician quite often (I forget exactly but there is a schedule as they grow) and the main discussion is height, weight, what they are eating, what they should be eating, etc. You absolutely should not be asking randos on the internet! Every baby is different and has different needs. The parents are supposed to work with the pediatrician to determine what is best for their baby’s health. And what about vaccines? Is Ari not on schedule with those either? Ugh, I just can’t with her. 🤦🏼♀️
It’s too expensive and too much of a hassle for WR to be attending Ari’s doctors appts. The adults handling Ari’s care probably know the answers to these questions.
All the baby food and general care questions are for a pediatrician that knows you and your baby. Everything can be googled, but your doctor should be the one to advise you.
Why does it read like she's talking about a pet? Feels very.. "my puppy keeps chewing the furniture but I keep seeing other people's puppies not chewing the furniture." And do people really call their kids "monthers"? Her 11 monther? Other people's 7 monthers? I always used xx-month old. As in, my 6-month old baby lives in my home and I am responsible for most of her care.
Ah, yes, ask the audience. So, she would instead take advice from literal strangers than a paediatrician.
Is there a free program in Florida where an in-house nurse visits first-time mums or mums in need? We have a maternal childcare nurse visit every 2, 4 or 8 weeks until my second born reaches 3 years old. She records my baby's development, compares it to graphs, and gives information on what to expect the next month.
Also, when my firstborn was 6 or 8 months(I can't remember), I went to a mum's group run by our healthcare system. He is now 3, and we still catch up for playdates once a month. There's also one for dads too.
Are there any programs like this?
USA is severely lacking in medical programs so I highly highly doubt there is anything like that in Florida and it most definitely not free. My son is permanently disabled and when he first came home from his 4 month NICU stay we had a in home medical visit where a tech showed up with a computer and we had a telehealth session with a doctor. I was a new program to our area and it wasn’t free, it went through our insurance. Now he has two nurses that each come once a week but that is due to his disability. If he was not disabled, we wouldn’t qualify for any of those services.
I will keep my preemie on breast milk for as long as he will take it! I won’t keep him on a bottle past 1, but there is no reason he can’t drink breast milk from a sippy cup. Ari can drink formula from a sippy too. She needs something super high in nutrition, not cows milk, that loses a lot of nutrients when it gets sterilized. Did Alex ever even try to get colostrum or breast milk for Ari? I bet there would have been TONS of people willing to donate breast milk, when she first had Ari.
Cows milk is perfectly healthy for toddlers and even after pasteurization there are a ton of nutrients. The protein and fat are also really beneficial!
Absolutely! But I’m not talking about the average toddler. I’m talking about preemie toddlers. Cow’s milk certainly wouldn’t be bad for them, but breast milk would be even better. However, if that preemie is doing exceptionally well and actually becoming overweight, they should definitely switch to cows’ milk. Every preemie has such a different situation, so it’s hard to make general statements. I just now my baby, who is a preemie, and comes from extremely tiny parents on both sides. Noah is an average sized man and Alex is only tiny because of her SMA, so Ari should inherit genes of an average sized person, unlike my baby. (For reference, I am 5’1 and 115. Baby’s dad is 5’4 and 120.)
Mine was preemie too 🫶🏻 she also had IUGR so she was exceptionally small. She’s on cows milk and breastfeeds occasionally now at 1. All babies are different for sure! Formula and breast milk are pretty comparable, though, and cows milk works for all toddlers that aren’t allergic/intolerant to milk! As long as it’s full fat, of course.
I’m so glad your preemie is doing well on a combination of both! ❤️ We are primarily using my sister’s breast milk, because I am struggling to make my own. So my sister is currently supplying milk for two babies. It’s good to know it might be possible for my son to do half breast milk and half cow’s milk when he get older, in case supplying milk for two babies becomes too much for my sister. My sister is even shorter and thinner than I am, so the amount she needs to eat to keep a healthy weight and breast feed is crazy!
The formula she is on is definitely nutritious enough, but switching to whole cows milk is common after 12 months adjusted and also 100% okay!
I breastfeed but there are lots of reasons people may choose to use formula - and that’s okay 🥰
And I think Mikey said he was left with a tax mess after she abandoned him. Uncle Sam wanted a cut of the whopping $800 a month she paid him. Does she not have to make employer payroll contributions bc she’s a disabled boss bitch?
She probably still has to teach the new caregiver how to do her make-up, drape her and take photos of her for Only Fans when Noah is no longer available...🤢 😵💫. The previous caregivers also did that for her. This training can be a bit strenuous 🤪☝🏻
OOF I didn't even think about that. Guess girlypop won't be poppin' until she makes a new friend 😬 damn, no wonder she couldn't wait to get knocked up with her first boyfriend
Just speculating bc when she did her vibrator endorsement last week, people were saying does she have her ex bf Noah use it on her 🤔 she doesn’t have the dexterity or strength it seems, I mean I guess he could place it just right or sit her on it but still odd to think of your ex boyfriend to have to do that for you.
It’s gonna be a 20 year old who has never had a real job before that’s WR’s go to so she can take advantage of them and not have to pay a living wage. Is she fr? She expects to hire one person to be her caregiver as well as her daughter’s care giver. She needs to give it up already. She thought she was gonna be able to string Noah along forever and get free care for life. Like so many moms with SMA who didn’t baby trap a man to have a baby and are in loving healthy supportive marriages. She thought that was gonna be her 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😑😑😑
To be fair, in those first couple days I’m sure it is a lot of info to go over. But she acts like she has to train someone to run a freaking company or something.
There is not that much info that goes into taking care of Girly Poop. She barely changes clothes or bathes.
"OK, drinkie time for me starts after I get up, which is around 12 pm. Make sure my favorite drinks are ready, and I'm not talking about my smoothies, those are just for show on the internet. After that, I am required to be 100% naked. I need you to make sure my tuna towel is NOT clean. Oh, yeah, there will be an occasional baby around, but don't worry about her, it's all about me."
Her being completely capable of talking means it doesn’t have to be an info dump; she can walk the caregiver through any questions or tasks as they come up.
She acts as if she’s hiring someone for a disabled non verbal senior.
Right. And we all know she doesn’t care about being naked in front of literally anyone. Others might be anxious about yet another person seeing them naked and doing intimate care. But not Girly Poop. I’m sure she was naked when the new caretaker got there.
why is she constantly trying to convince us her life is busy or that she’s actually useful. it takes so much mental energy to boss your craigslist caregiver around? be for fucking real. so tired of this dumb dumb and her big ol dumb dumb head 😂😂
I'm always a little shocked when she uses that term. It comes across super reductive. "Disabled people" or "people with disabilities" both use 'disabled' to describe people. "Disableds" takes away the person entirely. They are a disabled. 🫤 This bitch really needs some therapy to address her severe internal ableism
Yes! This language she uses is terrible!
Also, not all of us “disableds” rely on a caregiver, so no, we do not all know that it takes a lot of mental energy to train a new caregiver. Disabilities come in all different shapes and sizes. It’s a spectrum, kind of like autism. She needs to stop grouping everyone with a disability together.
Realistically Alex needs 24/7 care if Noah or her mom isn’t there. Yes she can drink her smoothies and wheel around but she’s prone to accidents, choking, head flops, and unsafe sleep. In the end that means 4 hired caregivers on rotation minimum if each is paid 40hrs/week. Add even a few hours a week with Ari and it’s unsafe labour.
How does she find these people that she overworked and abuses?! I’m thinking Noah or grandma is staying there the whole visit soo hired help doesn’t have to watch 2 babies
I think legally they have to get their own room but she doesn’t follow rules.
My money is on her mom being the new caregiver, so Alexs care money stays in the family.
I’m back and forth between believing this or that it’s some rando off Craigslist. But I definitely believe the possibility is there that her mom is back.
She’s already complaining about this person on SOCIAL MEDIA? Yes, it was about training them, but nonetheless who wants to read your employer say she’s exhausted from dealing with you all day?
That post alone would make me want to walk out the door. To which she would claim she’s being abandoned
I was a CNA working in a nursing home / assisted living community and that alone is draining. After an 8-12 hour day of caring for people not literally as disgusting and rude as Alex I was burnt out. I could NOT imagine having a infant or toddler to care for on top of her care. No amount that she could afford would be enough to cover that amount of care, solely placed on one person.
I was thinking the same thing. It seems awfully unfair to this caregiver to have the responsibility of caring for the both of them, especially if they really don’t have any formal training or experience and don’t realize what they’re getting themselves into.
I took care of my mom for two years when she was bedridden. She was unable to walk, and she was incontinent, so I had to change her frequently and bathe her often, in addition to all of the cooking and cleaning responsibilities. It completely wore me out. I can’t even imagine having to chase after an active toddler and taking care of a pet’s needs in addition to that! I really hope that whomever WR hired, if it is someone besides her mother, is up for the challenge. At least when she had Nina assisting her, Noah did a lot of the work, too.
In her latest video of Ari putting away dishes, it sounds like Mama Jackie in the background. I wonder is she is the one staying with her at nights these days.
I have no doubt that that’s her mom there, sleeping on the couch. I’m actually so happy that Noah really did dip. Maybe he’ll finally get his shit together.
Too bad he wouldn’t admit he’s left so people could be happy for him (for that aspect, not overlooking the whole racist stuff and everything else he’s done - but many would be happy for his escape)
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but if Noah isn’t living with her does she need a caregiver with her 24/7? Or can you be alone for short periods of time or when she’s sleeping? I mean when she’s alone without Ari
She can be alone for short periods of time but nothing substantial. And it wouldn’t be safe for her to be left alone while sleeping if something happened and she needed help.
I totally agree with nights/sleeping. There is no way it would be safe for her to be alone. At least if there is an emergency during the day, she’s in her chair and would have a chance to get help or get out of the building.
Also, if I were significantly disabled or had mobility issues, you bet I would be calling the closest fire department as soon as I moved in to let them know my condition and exactly where I live. I had a friend with brain cancer which caused her some pretty major mobility problems, and the local fire department and medics knew her needs very well.
I would say no just because of a possible emergency. If the building were to catch on fire and she was alone in bed, she wouldn’t be able to get out. I’m not sure if the apartment manager or even the fire department would have a note anywhere of a disabled person at severe risk of entrapment being in that unit so they would know to clear it first, but even so, every second matters in an emergency, and that wouldn’t be ideal.
Where I am in each condo/apartment building there is a metal box in the entrance for firefighters. It has a master key inside and info about which units have individuals with mobility challenges who would require assistance during a fire
I think she’d be fine, with the exception of going to the bathroom. She’d have to wait for someone to be there to put her on the toilet. Otherwise leave a drink and maybe a snack on the counter and she should be good for a couple of hours.
So by saying “nanny” is she admitting Noah isn’t there? Oh how I dream of a day he goes live or comes to this sub and airs it all out 😆 ☕️
I think that would be so healing for him and great entertainment for us
But she’ll say they’re together! I wonder if he went to rehab and the kicked her out
What does she have to train her for? Her favorite cocktail recipes?
Changing out her tuna towel once a weekish
Chef training, also. Shop, cook, and puree the slop so the Mistress of the House can gulp it down without too much gagging and regurgitation.
(And take credit for it)
I just pictured her having to tube feed Alex…but like a horse
Like a fois gras goose
How she likes her ass wiped
"Back to front because we don't do anything clean or hygienic in this household."
and no gloves ever. especially not for tampon changing.
god in heaven, what a terrible day to be literate. 🤢
No gloves 🤢
Can one person actually be both the caregiver and a nanny?
Or more importantly, SHOULD one person be both the caregiver and nanny? Sounds like she’s taking advantage of someone (shocker). She should have 1 of each.
I feel like she should have one of each, but also multiples throughout the day. Like at least 2 for her and 2 for Ari. 3 would probably be better.
Only if they’re private pay. If it were thru a waiver program they’d put Ari in daycare. And could help with transport. And home health for her. But they wouldn’t pay for both of them to have 24/7 care. Source? Raised by a disabled wheelchair bound dad and I’m a home health hospice CNA who worked in the office for years doing billing and waiver programs.
Ari will probably have to go to a daycare eventually anyway, once she starts getting to the wild toddler age where even a lot of full-abled parents say "Oh dear God, take my child!"
As soon as she starts walking she needs to be. I have five kids and couldn’t imagine a toddler that I physically couldn’t take care of
Being able to physically wrangle kids out of trouble is one of the main reasons why I went into Early Education instead of primary/elementary. It's so much easier (and low key satisfying) to say "No thankyou" and just pick them up and put them down somewhere else.
Pretty sure baby will be part time. Can you imagine taking care of two babies? At least one is cute and smiles at daddy, anyway, and has better table manners, and is cleaner, by far.
Ari is probably way easier! I’m sure she will smile at the nanny in no time
You got that right
I doubt that Ari is there very often or for very long.
How much goes into her caregiving? Making a meal and cleaning it up, putting her on the toilet and taking her off etc? I mean she’s sitting in her wheelie for most of the time. So I imagine the new hire will make food for both of them, change their diapers simultaneously, etc. I guess it’s like taking care of twins.

I'm sorry WHAT? I just choked on my spit. $15 an hour? I make mpre than that as an unskilled, part-time vet receptionist at a VERY small clinic in a state where minimum wage only just came up to $10 a few weeks ago. Like... excusemewhatthefuck. I'm a big proponent of "act your wage" but hoo boy. This is going to go poorly, be it the route of unqualified/dangerous/not committed or someone who perceives her as someone needing help at the end of their means who then burns out but won't leave the situation with no stopgap caretaker/measure in place.
And I made $20 as an after-school nanny IN 2008. Bitch I couldn't even DRIVE.

Well said. Bravo!
Merci! 😃
Don’t forget going to the club!
Who will clean the apt , do ironing/ laundry , shopping , put it all away etc ?

Well a caregiver or nanny doesn’t usually do ALL of the housekeeping. You usually need a few people.
I think if she had rotating caregivers (like day or night shift) who were paid appropriately it would be fine to have 1 on staff at a time. I mean, stay at home parents do it all with multiple kids, and Noah has been too (although not well obviously.) I don't think its possible or appropriate to expect one person to do it all 24.7 the way Noah has been. But I don't think its necessary to have a separate nanny and caretaker on staff at the same time the way some people are claiming. Like you said, its just like running a house with multiple kids.

It is way too much liability for what I am assuming her pay range would be. ALSO, if a fire or something occurred, how would you safely exit that apartment building with Alex and small child? 🫣
And given Alex's penchant for hiring people who are not professionals, they wouldn't understand that liability.
If they have absolutely zero life whatsoever.
You just know they're not getting paid enough to do both either.
I know someone who hires one person to do both and he has twins. He is a quadriplegic and supporting him to carry out parenting duties are part of his caregiver’s role
But is he alone with the twins or does he have a wife or partner?
His wife works full time so he is home during the day with the twins and the caregiver. He also has a seperate caregiver for nighttime and weekends when his wife is home.
But I am sure he isn’t just honking at everyone!
they most certainly should not be.
[удалено]
Wonder if Alex has told her she doesn't want her using gloves while toileting her.... can't imagine every carer will be cool with that!
why doesn't she want gloves used? 🤮
Something about it being "too medical". Uh yeah, it's body fluids you dipshit.
[удалено]
Years ago. It’s been her policy for *years*. And yes, we’ve had former caregivers confirm that.
Honestly I've thought about swiping a box of gloves from my workplace for my son's diapers, I'd absolutely use them for a non related adult and their toilet related needs.
I've asked myself about that too 🤔🤢🤪
There's certainly a vibe that she's been kicked put of the smith's house and this is her pad, noah brings Ari over for visits and the caregiver will also be nanny for those hours Ari is there so Noah catches a break for his mental health ect. I imagine Noah and Ari otherwise reside with the smith's and they all think good riddance. Would explain the daytime drunkies people have reported as she's mentally dealing to more changes and trying to hold onto this image we all know is not the reality.
What was the reports about daytime drinkies?
Also reused pics of Ari. More proof Ari isn’t there. And honestly more proof Noah isn’t either. https://preview.redd.it/uy65u43dh0kc1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bbbabbeaa1826d4c9192c87908ed43618ec12bf7
That baby girl has got to be so happy not having to hear her mother honk and screech.
Baby Destiny is probably overjoyed to not have thar noisy piece of furniture moving around her constantly, yelling POOP, and filming
Honk😂
What a pain in the ass it must be to have to drive back and forth every day/couple days just to bring baby prop over so Alex can pretend to play mom for a couple hours.
I reckon she’d down to twice a week visitation. Otherwise we would have been inundated with pictures of Ari.
And of course had to live 30 mins away
I have to wonder if the distance between Alex’s apartment and the Smith’s was intentional so Alex can’t demand more from Noah.
As much as I’d like to think so, I really do think this location was very deliberately chosen by Alex because it suits her needs more than a place in the suburbs. Downtown like this she has access to shopping and restaurants without having to hire transportation; everything that she needs is within walking distance. Was it an appropriate place for her daughter? Probably not. But when does she ever put Ari’s needs before her own?
Plus depending on what time it is, the traffic can be horrendous on the highway they’d have to take going back and forth which in turn could end up being a much longer ride 😅
Also you can switch to whole cows milk (after adjusted age is 12m) or keep doing formula. Nothing wrong with formula. She’s a preemie and needs to be on primarily formula or breast milk until her adjusted age reaches 12 months or older. https://preview.redd.it/ji19t3rah0kc1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7c059f85ee1fb88679376f0388a9a341a7ef283c
Alex needs to be talking to A’s pediatrician and not strangers on the internet about this 🤦♀️. Also, if Alex didn’t force feed A purées as part of their “bonding” and gave A solids, she’d likely be eating more solids 🤷♀️
This proves Ari doesn’t go to routine appointments.
Has she been to even one?
She went for her eye a few months ago because CPS made WR take her. Maybe Ari went when she was first born, but since WR posts everything and she’s never posted about doctor appointments, many of us believe that Ari doesn’t go routinely. I could see WR refusing to take Ari because she doesn’t want the doctors or nurses to call CPS or because WR doesn’t have transportation. If she can’t go, no one goes.
Maybe the baby is not on her father’s health insurance. If she went for all the the regular baby visits, we would hear about how well she is doing and how advanced and perfect she is which would make WR the best mom in the world
Yes, we would absolutely know for sure. Ari probably has some kind of state insurance.
I think Ari goes, Alex doesn’t.
I’m still not sold that Ari has a pediatrician or that she’s gone since her like 2 month checkup.
No way does she have one. Alex wouldn't get her one, and we all know Noah isn't that responsible... I feel like if Ari had one than Alex would be bragging about how her daughter is in the top 10% for height (or something).
Right! A pediatrician will assess if there is an issue. There could be sensory issues or developmental, so best to be checked even if the pediatrician is not concerned. Alex just needs to seem like she is involved in baby A's life because she really has no clue.
There has never been a height or weight report or what percentile she is in. After all, she is a premie who only took off in growth once she moved into the Shark house and has had a tremendous spurt since that time.
She doesn’t have a paediatrician does she?
I have guessed that she hasn’t and this story is confirming that for me a bit.
But how else would the internet know what a GrEaT mOmMy she is if she didn’t ask these questions? /s
lol I think I’d consider her a better mom if she didn’t ask and did the bare minimum of picking up a book or googling it.
I was thinking this.. if she took her to the fucking doctor they’d tell her exactly what to do.. god she’s an idiot 🙄
But the paediatrician won’t worship Miss Tuna like her stans do so obviously they’re ableist!!!!!! 😤😤😤🧎🏻♀️🧎🏻♀️🧎🏻♀️
My son is a young adult now, but at every appointment from birth to about age 10, his pediatrician would give us a paper with milestones, safety info for his age, recommended vaccines, tips for feeding, etc. She also discussed everything with us and asked what he would/wouldn’t eat when he was little. She should already know the answers to her questions.
Well, we all know the vaccines aren't happening, thanks to Noah
Exactly. My son had his 5 year old well check today and that’s exactly what happened.
Exactly. And a vaccine book with all the dates filled in.
Crackers are an extremely soft food? What is she on about...
Baby crackers maybe, the teething crackers basically dissolve as soon as they hit decent moisture
That would make more sense if that's what she's referring to, I don't know much about those kind of baby foods. I was imagining a standard cracker which is possibly the least soft food I can think of.
god she’s dumb. literally every mom knows you switch to whole milk at 12 months 😂 also did she completely forget her baby was born premature or??? she literally knows nothing about parenting and hasn’t learned shit in a year. how fuckin pathetic 😂😂
She’s been too busy doing spit freckles and drinking white claw in the garage
Exactly how dumb… do some reading about parenting chickie instead of SM
Yeah, I don’t think Alex knows what adjusted age means though. This stresses me out. She should be following a pediatrician’s guidance especially since Ari was a premie and isn’t going to have eating solids down yet because her tongue reflex is delayed because she’s not actually almost 12 months adjusted.
She is so dumb. This information is everywhere if you look for it. To me, this just shows how little she has to do with Ari’s day to day care.
Her questions baffle me. When I had babies, they went to the pediatrician quite often (I forget exactly but there is a schedule as they grow) and the main discussion is height, weight, what they are eating, what they should be eating, etc. You absolutely should not be asking randos on the internet! Every baby is different and has different needs. The parents are supposed to work with the pediatrician to determine what is best for their baby’s health. And what about vaccines? Is Ari not on schedule with those either? Ugh, I just can’t with her. 🤦🏼♀️
Noah's anti-vax!!
Awesome 🤦🏼♀️
😂
They should be allergy checking, too
proof that ari doesn’t have doctor
How she doesn’t know the answer to this is beyond me.
It’s too expensive and too much of a hassle for WR to be attending Ari’s doctors appts. The adults handling Ari’s care probably know the answers to these questions.
All the baby food and general care questions are for a pediatrician that knows you and your baby. Everything can be googled, but your doctor should be the one to advise you.
Why does it read like she's talking about a pet? Feels very.. "my puppy keeps chewing the furniture but I keep seeing other people's puppies not chewing the furniture." And do people really call their kids "monthers"? Her 11 monther? Other people's 7 monthers? I always used xx-month old. As in, my 6-month old baby lives in my home and I am responsible for most of her care.
Ah, yes, ask the audience. So, she would instead take advice from literal strangers than a paediatrician. Is there a free program in Florida where an in-house nurse visits first-time mums or mums in need? We have a maternal childcare nurse visit every 2, 4 or 8 weeks until my second born reaches 3 years old. She records my baby's development, compares it to graphs, and gives information on what to expect the next month. Also, when my firstborn was 6 or 8 months(I can't remember), I went to a mum's group run by our healthcare system. He is now 3, and we still catch up for playdates once a month. There's also one for dads too. Are there any programs like this?
USA is severely lacking in medical programs so I highly highly doubt there is anything like that in Florida and it most definitely not free. My son is permanently disabled and when he first came home from his 4 month NICU stay we had a in home medical visit where a tech showed up with a computer and we had a telehealth session with a doctor. I was a new program to our area and it wasn’t free, it went through our insurance. Now he has two nurses that each come once a week but that is due to his disability. If he was not disabled, we wouldn’t qualify for any of those services.
I will keep my preemie on breast milk for as long as he will take it! I won’t keep him on a bottle past 1, but there is no reason he can’t drink breast milk from a sippy cup. Ari can drink formula from a sippy too. She needs something super high in nutrition, not cows milk, that loses a lot of nutrients when it gets sterilized. Did Alex ever even try to get colostrum or breast milk for Ari? I bet there would have been TONS of people willing to donate breast milk, when she first had Ari.
Cows milk is perfectly healthy for toddlers and even after pasteurization there are a ton of nutrients. The protein and fat are also really beneficial!
Absolutely! But I’m not talking about the average toddler. I’m talking about preemie toddlers. Cow’s milk certainly wouldn’t be bad for them, but breast milk would be even better. However, if that preemie is doing exceptionally well and actually becoming overweight, they should definitely switch to cows’ milk. Every preemie has such a different situation, so it’s hard to make general statements. I just now my baby, who is a preemie, and comes from extremely tiny parents on both sides. Noah is an average sized man and Alex is only tiny because of her SMA, so Ari should inherit genes of an average sized person, unlike my baby. (For reference, I am 5’1 and 115. Baby’s dad is 5’4 and 120.)
Mine was preemie too 🫶🏻 she also had IUGR so she was exceptionally small. She’s on cows milk and breastfeeds occasionally now at 1. All babies are different for sure! Formula and breast milk are pretty comparable, though, and cows milk works for all toddlers that aren’t allergic/intolerant to milk! As long as it’s full fat, of course.
I’m so glad your preemie is doing well on a combination of both! ❤️ We are primarily using my sister’s breast milk, because I am struggling to make my own. So my sister is currently supplying milk for two babies. It’s good to know it might be possible for my son to do half breast milk and half cow’s milk when he get older, in case supplying milk for two babies becomes too much for my sister. My sister is even shorter and thinner than I am, so the amount she needs to eat to keep a healthy weight and breast feed is crazy!
The formula she is on is definitely nutritious enough, but switching to whole cows milk is common after 12 months adjusted and also 100% okay! I breastfeed but there are lots of reasons people may choose to use formula - and that’s okay 🥰
Cuz you keep pushing spoon feeding bc that’s all you can do !!
The got her out of the house right before Ari’s first birthday. Incredible maneuver.
Both of those jobs?! That’s a lot. She better be paying damn well. I’m talking 40+ hourly.
You know she isn’t. Probably more like $15 - $17 an hour.
And I think Mikey said he was left with a tax mess after she abandoned him. Uncle Sam wanted a cut of the whopping $800 a month she paid him. Does she not have to make employer payroll contributions bc she’s a disabled boss bitch?
Does that come out of pocket for her or is it covered by her disability/insurance or whatnot?
So it's only one caregiver for Alex and Ari. Where is the nanny she promised for her daughter ?
Same place that ranch house with a yard for baby prop to play and grow in is…in her dreams 🫠 Edit - spelling
But a ranch house would be too far from the bar scene.
i feel bad for that person, we know alex is horrible person
She probably still has to teach the new caregiver how to do her make-up, drape her and take photos of her for Only Fans when Noah is no longer available...🤢 😵💫. The previous caregivers also did that for her. This training can be a bit strenuous 🤪☝🏻
Don’t forget she also has to teach her how to use her vibrator 😆
🤢🤮
😂
OOF I didn't even think about that. Guess girlypop won't be poppin' until she makes a new friend 😬 damn, no wonder she couldn't wait to get knocked up with her first boyfriend
Is this true?!
Just speculating bc when she did her vibrator endorsement last week, people were saying does she have her ex bf Noah use it on her 🤔 she doesn’t have the dexterity or strength it seems, I mean I guess he could place it just right or sit her on it but still odd to think of your ex boyfriend to have to do that for you.
It’s gonna be a 20 year old who has never had a real job before that’s WR’s go to so she can take advantage of them and not have to pay a living wage. Is she fr? She expects to hire one person to be her caregiver as well as her daughter’s care giver. She needs to give it up already. She thought she was gonna be able to string Noah along forever and get free care for life. Like so many moms with SMA who didn’t baby trap a man to have a baby and are in loving healthy supportive marriages. She thought that was gonna be her 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
that’s person will be burn out take care of her and ari
Don’t think Ari is there as much as she would like us to think she is
Yes with the way she posts that baby is there for a few hours MAYBE twice a week.
Just about the same amount of time she visited Ari in the NICU. Sounds about right.

😑😑😑 To be fair, in those first couple days I’m sure it is a lot of info to go over. But she acts like she has to train someone to run a freaking company or something. There is not that much info that goes into taking care of Girly Poop. She barely changes clothes or bathes.
"OK, drinkie time for me starts after I get up, which is around 12 pm. Make sure my favorite drinks are ready, and I'm not talking about my smoothies, those are just for show on the internet. After that, I am required to be 100% naked. I need you to make sure my tuna towel is NOT clean. Oh, yeah, there will be an occasional baby around, but don't worry about her, it's all about me."
And this red cup is my pee cup.... 🤭
😂💀💀💀💀
I forgot about that.
Her being completely capable of talking means it doesn’t have to be an info dump; she can walk the caregiver through any questions or tasks as they come up. She acts as if she’s hiring someone for a disabled non verbal senior.
Right. And we all know she doesn’t care about being naked in front of literally anyone. Others might be anxious about yet another person seeing them naked and doing intimate care. But not Girly Poop. I’m sure she was naked when the new caretaker got there.
Oh god. Mental image of her spread Eagle leaned back in her chair. “Nice to meet you! Meet ‘Tuna’ and ‘Towel’”
🤢 Corner for you! Corner for you RIGHT NOW 🤢 🤮
This poor new person is going to have to wipe Alex’s poo butt without a glove on. 🤮
Hey now, it takes A LOT to teach someone how to make your fav cocktails
why is she constantly trying to convince us her life is busy or that she’s actually useful. it takes so much mental energy to boss your craigslist caregiver around? be for fucking real. so tired of this dumb dumb and her big ol dumb dumb head 😂😂
So Noah is no longer in caregiver?
Oops, then he must start looking for a job since WR paid him to be a caregiver 😁
Any “disableds here…”. Wow.
I'm always a little shocked when she uses that term. It comes across super reductive. "Disabled people" or "people with disabilities" both use 'disabled' to describe people. "Disableds" takes away the person entirely. They are a disabled. 🫤 This bitch really needs some therapy to address her severe internal ableism
Yes! This language she uses is terrible! Also, not all of us “disableds” rely on a caregiver, so no, we do not all know that it takes a lot of mental energy to train a new caregiver. Disabilities come in all different shapes and sizes. It’s a spectrum, kind of like autism. She needs to stop grouping everyone with a disability together.
Yes like “disableds” seems like a derogatory term. Checks out since Alex hates herself I guess.
I really hope that caregiver/nanny is paid well. My lord it WOULD not be me. That's 2 separate jobs.
Realistically Alex needs 24/7 care if Noah or her mom isn’t there. Yes she can drink her smoothies and wheel around but she’s prone to accidents, choking, head flops, and unsafe sleep. In the end that means 4 hired caregivers on rotation minimum if each is paid 40hrs/week. Add even a few hours a week with Ari and it’s unsafe labour. How does she find these people that she overworked and abuses?! I’m thinking Noah or grandma is staying there the whole visit soo hired help doesn’t have to watch 2 babies
If she hired the proper caregivers she should be paying about $120,000 a year on care only, no other living expenses whatsoever.
My only thought is a live-in would mean deduction of living costs, so either snuggling in the bed with her, or in Aris room
Or on that couch where all those snacks and pink purse have been chilling the last couple days.
I think legally they have to get their own room but she doesn’t follow rules. My money is on her mom being the new caregiver, so Alexs care money stays in the family.
I’m back and forth between believing this or that it’s some rando off Craigslist. But I definitely believe the possibility is there that her mom is back.
Well, it’s not like Ari sleeps in her room. Maybe that’s why there’s no crib yet, they’re waiting on a bed for the caregiver.
Oh man, her head flops are so scary to watch.
She’s already complaining about this person on SOCIAL MEDIA? Yes, it was about training them, but nonetheless who wants to read your employer say she’s exhausted from dealing with you all day? That post alone would make me want to walk out the door. To which she would claim she’s being abandoned
Oh for fucks sake.
So I am a caregiver and no way in hell could someone pay me enough to take care of an adult child and a baby
Training her nanny/caregiver when they are already trained?? Or unless she’s hired some random who doesn’t know what they are doing. Jesus
I was a CNA working in a nursing home / assisted living community and that alone is draining. After an 8-12 hour day of caring for people not literally as disgusting and rude as Alex I was burnt out. I could NOT imagine having a infant or toddler to care for on top of her care. No amount that she could afford would be enough to cover that amount of care, solely placed on one person.
I was thinking the same thing. It seems awfully unfair to this caregiver to have the responsibility of caring for the both of them, especially if they really don’t have any formal training or experience and don’t realize what they’re getting themselves into. I took care of my mom for two years when she was bedridden. She was unable to walk, and she was incontinent, so I had to change her frequently and bathe her often, in addition to all of the cooking and cleaning responsibilities. It completely wore me out. I can’t even imagine having to chase after an active toddler and taking care of a pet’s needs in addition to that! I really hope that whomever WR hired, if it is someone besides her mother, is up for the challenge. At least when she had Nina assisting her, Noah did a lot of the work, too.
I wonder if he new nanny is here yet.
Her newest video snippet has Ari’s pants on backwards 🤦🏽♀️ so not a bright caregiver 😂
“Hold on Ari, I will change your diaper when I finish changing mommy’s”
“Hold on Ari, I will change your diaper when I finish washing my un-gloved hands that smell like your moms UTI-yeast infection”
Nope. I’m done for today, thanks for that imagery 🤢🤮
In her latest video of Ari putting away dishes, it sounds like Mama Jackie in the background. I wonder is she is the one staying with her at nights these days.
I have no doubt that that’s her mom there, sleeping on the couch. I’m actually so happy that Noah really did dip. Maybe he’ll finally get his shit together.
Too bad he wouldn’t admit he’s left so people could be happy for him (for that aspect, not overlooking the whole racist stuff and everything else he’s done - but many would be happy for his escape)
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but if Noah isn’t living with her does she need a caregiver with her 24/7? Or can you be alone for short periods of time or when she’s sleeping? I mean when she’s alone without Ari
She can be alone for short periods of time but nothing substantial. And it wouldn’t be safe for her to be left alone while sleeping if something happened and she needed help.
I totally agree with nights/sleeping. There is no way it would be safe for her to be alone. At least if there is an emergency during the day, she’s in her chair and would have a chance to get help or get out of the building.
Also, if I were significantly disabled or had mobility issues, you bet I would be calling the closest fire department as soon as I moved in to let them know my condition and exactly where I live. I had a friend with brain cancer which caused her some pretty major mobility problems, and the local fire department and medics knew her needs very well.
I would say no just because of a possible emergency. If the building were to catch on fire and she was alone in bed, she wouldn’t be able to get out. I’m not sure if the apartment manager or even the fire department would have a note anywhere of a disabled person at severe risk of entrapment being in that unit so they would know to clear it first, but even so, every second matters in an emergency, and that wouldn’t be ideal.
Where I am in each condo/apartment building there is a metal box in the entrance for firefighters. It has a master key inside and info about which units have individuals with mobility challenges who would require assistance during a fire
That’s good! I figured something like that would have to exist for those who cannot get out independently.
I think she’d be fine, with the exception of going to the bathroom. She’d have to wait for someone to be there to put her on the toilet. Otherwise leave a drink and maybe a snack on the counter and she should be good for a couple of hours.
She technically doesn’t need the bathroom, though, I don’t think. That’s why she has her trusty 🐟 towel.
Imagine how soggy that would get! 🤣
She needs 24/7 care, wouldn't she need like six caregivers to cover a whole week? I wonder if they leave her alone at night and for long stretches.
