I’m not going to bitch about her tanning. The sun feels good and she’s not going to live long enough to deal with sun damage. Let her tan. Wrinkles and skin cancer are the least of her worries.
I will bitch about her lying about her abilities. These caregivers are not her arms, they are people. I’m not surprised that the only compliment she gives out are ones she thinks make her look cute, like the hairstyles. At least she isn’t saying she did the braiding.

Yesterday was OnlyFans content day, and today is I'm a totes legit mom, fer real day. Alex needs to pick a lane-- preferably one that doesn't involve Ari.

The video:
Even the people who are supporting her are pointing out that Ari can feed herself and doesn't need Alex to hold the bottle. It's weird that Alex is suddenly trying to do all these performative mom things that would have been appropriate than Ari was younger, but it shows how clueless she is about kids-- especially her own daughter.

This is giving me "I found my thread and I'm going to prove those bigots wrong" vibes. When Kayden Coleman found her thread, her posts changed. The changes all correlated to things we were criticizing. I think Alex found this thread and is posting as much Ari content as she can to "prove" that Ari still lives with her.
Noah wandering through the background is fucking hilarious. I agree with @Robert California; wear a faggy shirt next video if you need help, Noah (or is that too nonspecific for him?)
I think she's trying to say she won't ask Ari for anything more than a normal parent would (ie a glass of water) but she's a fucking moron so it came out backwards
Ari doesn’t need bottles anymore. She’s old enough to hold her own cup. I like the Munchkin 360 cups because they don’t have a straw component that can get gunked up with shit you can’t clean, personally. Holding a bottle in her face like she’s feeding a baby cow is just strange now.
Again with the fuckin pouches! Ari needs finger foods to work on her pincer grasp and fine motor skills in general. It’s also an easy way to give her sensory activities. WHY DOES ALEX THINK CARING FOR A BABY IS SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE YOU ARE FEEDING A FARM ANIMAL?!?!
This one. This one got me good.
It’s blazing hot in this picture. Alex’s shoulders are burned to shit. Ari’s stroller has a fan blowing air in her face and yet she is turned so that her legs can ALSO get burned to shit. She is so lethargic from the sun exposure that Alex waterboarding her with a popsicle doesn’t even provoke much reaction. The popsicle is going to melt down Ari’s neck into the fabric of the stroller and make it nasty, which Alex probably won’t clean. And Ari has a silicone bib on her chest, further trapping heat around her core.
This one in particular is proof that Alex has no fucking clue how to care for her daughter. Normally Alex just makes me roll my eyes but this video is like a “greatest hits” of all the ways Alex is an unfit parent. I hope she accidentally drives her scootypuff into the ocean and drowns before she kills her daughter from a preventable pediatric heat stroke.

It's literally the only thing Alex is capable of doing for Ari. She can't play with her. She can't keep her entertained. Alex completely dropped the ball on bonding with Ari during those few months when she was less mobile than Alex.

To be fair, I highly doubt Alex was the one to position her like that. She might have insisted on that setup for a photo op, but someone else has to be there taking that picture. I'd hope the stroller was moved right after.
Hoo boy, buckle up. For several days now, people in Alex's Instagram comments (and probably TikTok, too) have been telling her that the YouTuber The Dad Challenge Podcast and done a video about her. She finally looked it up and found the video, and then she promptly had a meltdown.
I'm aware that this guy exists but have never watched him. He covers The Dougherty Dozen, a family vlogging train wreck (they also have a thread here, and FFG covers them sometimes). He has 231K subscribers, so that's a pretty decent audience. He's very anti-family vlogging. I haven't watched his video about Alex (yet), but I'm going to drop it under a spoiler.
I'm not really promoting this guy, because I agree that he does kind of have jerk vibes. I'm going to watch this video, though, and I'm absolutely popping popcorn to see how this develops.
So, Alex finally gets around to looking this up, and then she flips out. "A friend" located a petition on change.org, and Alex is begging her followers to sign it. Unfortunately for her, I think that Alex is probably actually dumb enough to think that the petition can accomplish something or is somehow a legally-binding document. Amusingly, it's addressed to the former CEO of YouTube, just for that extra layer of credibility.
Some of the screenshots toward the end of this are repeats: Alex shared some more than once, for some reason. In the conversation screenshots, Dad Challenge is the text in gray (on the left), and Alex is in blue/purple on the right. She appears to have messaged the guy to attack him, which was obviously a really smart thing to do.
Tantalizingly, he asks if "Hannah" worked for her for about a month. Was Hannah the caretaker who didn't last? Did she reach out to him? I want to know more!
How it started:
"A friend of mine did a digger deep [wut?], and apparently there is a petition to get him taken down off the Internet." TAKE THIS OFF THE GOD DAMN INTERNET!
"He literally monetizes off of bullying families and giving false information on his platforms." And you monetize waterboarding your daughter.
"He essentially bullies families on his platforms for money. My friend found this petition to get him removed. I will link it here if you want to learn more."
"A GROSS MISOGYNISTIC MAN." For all I know, that's true, but that doesn't make Alex any more sympathetic here.
Looks like she's sharing anti-Dad Challenge videos?
"I have no idea how this man found me, but I am actually semi concerned." WHAT? He found you because you post yourself and your daughter and your gross tits all over every social media platform in existence!
This begins her exchange with that guy. From the info at the top of the screenshots, looks like she was messaging him after midnight her time.
Then, in the middle of all of this, she starts talking about her new merch:
I have more coming about the new merch but will put all that in a separate post later-- I don't want to detract from this current mess.
Again with the pouch.
Give the kid some real food and feed her that. Like ok, I get it, convenience is nice but she got teeth, give her something to chew on.
And I get she takes every chance she gets to do "mom stuff". Call it performative or whatever but I think it's a bit more than that.
Assuming ari don't live w her and being as disabled as she is she maybe wanna hold it because it's one of the small things she can do.
It just looks so dumb because she can't just have a moment, she has to broadcast it to shove in people's faces and it comes off as her being clueless.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not handing out mom of the year award here but I think her wanting to do stuff with ari (even if it's ass backwards) plays a part in it.
She should just chose a different activity than the fucking lazy meals, help her eat some spaghetti or something if it HAS to be a food activity.
So, basically what @My cravat doesn't flutter and @blue gopher snakes said ️
Edit:
So close to getting it Alex. It's there, right in the screenshot. But no no, he bully people who EXPLOITS THEIR CHILDREN. He's the meany.
(I won't watch the video because scrote in snapback and beard) but how can she not see what she wrote?!
I mean, he's not a great guy but if these family bloggers didn't give him content, he'd have nothing to say. In many of the cases he's covered, I agree with him. Some of these parents are vile, exposing their children to all sorts of internet freaks and making big bucks off of them without putting money away for them for later. Does he sensationalize some of the families he covers? Sometimes. But he was also one of the first vloggers to make videos about 8 Passengers/Ruby Franke. When he shifted to mostly talking about Alicia Dougherty I stopped watching him because I find her boring but if he starts digging into Alex I might watch again.
Cos she couldnt squeeze a tear out if her life depended on it, she was probably having a narc fury meltdown.
This is great milk. I am delighted that a tertiary party is taking an interest in her, it was getting dull watching her ignore people call her out in her comments section.
Ive always thought Alex treated Ari more like a pet than a human child. The way she films the kid and talks AT her, relating to her by making stupid noises to get her attention, scratching her head and feeding her. I know people have been saying "b-but that's all she can do". Bullshit. She missed the opportunity to bond when Ari was tiny. Most normal non-self obsessed mothers (who are more or less completely paralysed) would have spent the first year laid up in bed stroking, cooing and kissing their kid. Ari could have viewed Alex as a source or comfort, relaxation and love if nothing else but that didn't happen. Babies are boring so prop the kid up with the iPad and resume life as Wheelchair Party girl who eats sushi, drinks and tans. Obviously dress her up in some retarded momfluencer outfits and get some pics for the gram but other than that YAWN. That's why Ari looked like the baby monkey with the wire mother for the first segment of her life. I'm so glad that kid had grandparents that gave a shit. Yeah Noah has seemingly turned a corner but he was nothing without his parents facilitating his learning fatherhood. Although it's understandable that would would want to be out your face 24/7 if your gf looked like a bog body and made you wipe her ass for her.
