I guess, I'm no Rekietologist, but this is a lady who has a bunch of tattoos and seems to have some major hippie-spiritual inclinations. Nick claims he's been horribly repressed for a long time.You've got to imagine it's hard. You've finally made your nest. Actually managed to marry a lawyer, which is the fucking jackpot, have a bevy of kids, nice house and suddenly over a decade into it your husband gets a new hobby. A hobby that gets you dragged around the world to go to conventions where your husband gets stepped on by scantily clad whores. Insane BPD bitches are sending him candid photos and to cap it off he's started drinking heavily and is getting into screaming matches with weirdos on the internet.
Doesn't take a genius to figure out where this is going. Incidentally, I remember Rekieta once commenting that his wife was super pissed when she found out what he was doing, and that maybe he should have talked to her first before starting a youtube channel. She came around once she saw the money and how Nick could stay with the kids easier.
Meanwhile, despite coming off sort of urban-liberal, they decided they're going to pump out kids like one of those old fashioned conservative families who live in a rural farming community in the middle of nowhere and need extra hands to till the fields.
There's a reason you don't meet too many middle class couples who have 5 kids these days, because that's a tremendous burden, especially if you aren't tied into a community that facilitates it. It will feel oppressive, and major sacrifices are going to have to be made. Any adult knows that and be prepared to be in it for the long haul.
Based upon their personalities any reasonable individual should've been able to tell them, from the start of their relationship, that they weren't built to have a big family. But they had to play pretend trad, and now that the larp isn't fun anymore they don't want to be bothered.
And now he's sitting there talking about how he hates dealing with his kids, because surprise, it has a major, long-lasting impact on your life.
I don't know them well enough to say for sure, but to me they come off as completely spoiled fucking idiots.
Just from what I understand of his history Nick's attention has always been a little flighty, it was always going to turn out this way.
I'm not trying to absolve Nick of responsibility, but on LR's end if she didn't want to wind up as a single mother, she should've recognized the signs years ago and pumped the brakes instead of continuing to have kids hoping the problem would fix itself.
Basically I can very easily understand why someone like Nick would hate dealing with having a bunch of kids...which is exactly why I don't understand why he'd have a bunch of kids.
