Here is one of Cecily's shitty DIY home projects,
she thought it was a really good idea to make her functional fireplace the hub for all her electronics in the living room [
archive]. I wanted to punctuate that sentence with DIAF, but I know it'll be Tori to perish and her evil fucking parents will somehow survive.
That's insane. At the very best their expensive electronics are going to get damaged from radiant heat and/or the shelf itself will weaken and break. At worst a cinder will land on one of those cords and those wonderful parents will call Tori over, and they'll all stand around cooing at the wonder and beauty of fire, maybe take some pictures for Instagram... by the time they catch on that fire = danger half the lounge room will already be alight and they'd have no option but to leg it... but not before they leisurely pack a few bags with their most precious items... and not a single garment or a toothpaste will be in them. And any money you like they won't even bother calling the fireies themselves, but stand around wondering what's taking their neighbours so long to realise that the building is on fire.
I honestly don't think having Tori assemble the shadowbox was a bad idea, I was doing manual labor younger than her and it was really fun to build things and learn to use tools. This is probably the most intellectually and physically stimulating activity she's done in the household. However, I don't believe they had her do it to foster a sense of responsibility and her independence and did because they are fat lazy fucks who are so fucking inept they can't even assemble ikea furniture. I feel like that should be the litmus test for breeding.
I agree that getting Tori to help assemble the box was a good thing in principle. At her age I was helping my parents renovate the family house, up to and including being up on a ladder twice my height helping my father gyprock the ceiling. It's one of those experiences that was excruciating and occasionally dangerous at the time, but turned out to be one of the best things I have ever done in the long term.
The problem, however, is that Tori would have done the entire assembly herself. Her parents would have taken the photo and left the room, saying, "Tell us when it's done," and the only 'help' they'd have given her would have been periodic and peevish demands to know why it wasn't finished yet. Not only is there a fair amount of risk involved for the child- those panels are always fucking heavy and a child of her age hasn't anywhere near the co-ordination and reflexes to stop them from falling and smashing into various body parts- but if they're as skint as they always pretend they are, buying even a cheap flat pack would have taken a healthy bite out of their limited funds. And given that I've never in my entire life been able to assemble a piece of furniture without fucking up at least one of the screws or pins even as an adult, it's almost certain that unless Tori has a latent knack for engineering she's going to make mistakes at some point, be they cosmetically or structurally. And I won't even bother asking if her wonderful parents even have so much as a hammer and a handful of nails in the place, let alone a hand drill to drill a couple of screws into places where the pins were accidentally stripped out.
About the best you could call this is 'pretentious'. I sincerely doubt that she's ever had so much as a bedtime story read to her in her entire life. And going by the examples of her 'school work', I sincerely doubt that she's functionally literate. So yeah, I rather have the impression that this photograph is somewhat inaccurate.
The legal term, I believe, is grooming.
There is seriously something wrong with this person.
She is sexualizing her child for headpats.
I think that it's pretty obvious that she's been abused physically. At this stage it's just a question of who, where and how.
When Tori was just a little bit older, Cecily and Charlie dragged her on a multi-state car ride from PA to FL for a blogging conference where mommy could learn how to make more money on exploiting her daughter (she didn't apply the lessons well, as evidenced by their financial wreckage still unfolding all these years later). While there, Tori was given a free bear from Build-a-Bear. She proceeded to slam the bear into the ground, kick it, smash it into walls, and be so disturbingly violent toward the stuffed animal that she damaged it. (It makes me furious to imagine where she saw such behavior and how she knew to mirror it. Shittiest parents ever.) Eventually the CEO of Build-a-Bear, who was speaking at the conference, sat down and patiently repaired the bear with needle and thread. Of course Cecily just milked this for Twitter fodder. So proud of teaching her daughter to be destructive and obnoxious! Tori looks absolutely thrilled to be there.
That CEO must have been close to heartbroken. Not because of the damage to the toy itself, but because of the implications of Tori's behaviour. The CEO could have shrugged and walked away, or made a token, "But why don't you like it?" comment and brushed Tori off as a spoiled, destructive little brat. But she sat down and repaired the bear without being asked, and I would lay money on her not even saying so much as "Please be nicer to him from now on" when she was finished. I think that she was thoroughly aware that Tori's actions were down to the girl being mentally disturbed.
I'd genuinely thought that
Rain Florence and her equally deluded husband were the worst of the current parents being discussed on KF. I'm having second thoughts about that.
SNOOPY #1 SEXUALIZER OF CHILDREN. And Cecily who's trying to get her daughter to dress like a slut (that didn't get enough asspats) and now induct her into the cult of trans.
