This is a little bit off, but the mistake actually gives them too much credit. Cecily decided meal prep was getting in the way of her screen time (I haven't even started on how this woman watches EVERY FUCKING TV SHOW, while simultaneously tweeting and FB'ing). So when Tori was one, she created the Poptart drawer, so Tori could feed herself a nutritious, balanced breakfast while Cecily and Charlie slept in. This is when they had years clean and dry (though not sober, as their batshit ways attest). At this time, Cecily had a part-time cashier's job (that she later described as "Head of Marketing" on her LinkedIn, lol) that started at 11am, and she often blogged about how she struggled so much to get up in time to make it to work without being tardy. She sleeps into the afternoon on a regular basis, which is why Tori has to walk herself through the Point Breeze ghetto to get to her glorified day care. So they didn't even have the excuse of being active alcoholics and drug addicts, they simply prefer to sleep the day away and consider preparing meals for a toddler to be too high maintenance. So Poptarts it is for Tori. Meanwhile, Cecily claims she herself has Greek yogurt and blueberries every morning, plus lean protein and gluten-free, organic vegetable dishes from Whole Foods. Cecily is also an avowed fan of sushi delivery. Sorry about your luck, Tori.
Also, someone above mentioned vaccinations. This is another Cecily horror story. She accepted money to participate in a social media campaign urging people to get their kids vaccinated and to vaccinate themselves. But she neglected to get her daughter vaccinated, despite the fact that her elderly mother with a compromised immune system (recovering from multiple hospitalizations and surgeries) was living out of her Glad bag "luggage" in their basement at the time. Tori came down with the flu and put her grandmother's heath in serious jeopardy through no fault of her own, because her mother is a lazy piece of shit who neglects her child's needs so she can watch TV, eat, beg for money online and tweet about what a "thought leader" in marketing she is.
It's Chris Farley in drag.
If you're disturbed by how Cecily and Charlie have neglected their child, wait till you hear what they've done to various animals in their care. I can't even go there right now, I'll get too mad.
Instead, ponder this. Seven years ago, Cecily and Charlie broke their kitchen window. They covered the empty space from the broken pane with a trash bag and taped it there. That's embarrassing as a quick fix, but obviously you can get a glazier over to fix that within a day or so, or even DIY if you have the time and talent. But Cecily and Charlie left the trash bag taped over the broken kitchen window for literally half a decade. It was there until the day they fled their foreclosed-upon home and let the bank have it (and the $75k worth of equity they had in it, from the proceeds of a previous house Charlie had sold).
They didn't fix it despite the obvious security risk it posed, though living in Lansdowne was no doubt safer than the south Philly neighborhood of Point Breeze, where they moved after foreclosure. Worse, they didn't even fix it in the winter of 2014 when their boiler didn't work for months on end, according to Cecily. That was the winter when we had polar vortex after polar vortex. Cecily and Charlie were quite content for their daughter to live in a home with no heat or hot water for months on end, through polar vortices, without bothering to fix a broken window in a main room of the home (it had an open connection to the living room, too). I guess their bodies are always overheated because of their weight, but surely a small child wouldn't be as fortunate.
By that time, all the online support had dried up and they'd squeezed every last family member dry. These are people who aren't Christians but had a christening so they could get checks from relatives. Per Cecily's blog, "We don’t want to do anything to cut off the flow of checks from our more wealthy family members, obviously."
At least Jessi had the advantage of spending time in an actual school
