I am just curious, with as long as Nick has not been streaming, is it possible that he has gone through a period of total radio silence that might have been a sign of in patient sequestration for substance abuse? Or has he been superchatting and tweeting all along?
Since the addict’s definitely keeping tabs on his own kiwi thread, he’s probably made a fake YT account and tipped Melton off. But knowing how much of a narcissist he is, I don't think he could handle being in the chat without everyone knowing he’s there and craving the attention he thinks he’s owed.
Every complaint Nick makes of his kids is directed at taking them to or from events that Nick himself doesn't take part in. I could make a cheap joke about Nick being a car cuck, but more seriously, I think it's telling that he rarely mentions events where he and/or Kayla are actually doing something with the children, like going to a movie, going to the park, eating at a restaurant, or any other normal family thing.
Solid point. Growing up, my dad never complained about dragging my ass to hockey at 4 a.m. If he bitched, it was about the price of skates, pads, all the gear—because, let’s be real, that’s just what dads do. But he sat thru every fucking game the way most dads do. If iPhones were around then, he’d have been recording my every goal, save, block, and being that annoying dad showing it off to his buddies at work. Nick doesn't just gripe about taking his son to a fucking speech competition (drunk)—he doesn’t even bother to get involved. That’s just plain sad.
He did often complain about all the time it took driving even before that but it always seemed a lot more light-hearted back in those days.
There’s a simple solution to this, and here's two straightforward options:
First, don’t isolate yourself in the middle of nowhere. Live somewhere closer to civilization so you’re not stuck driving 40+ minutes just to see if your neighbors are even alive.
Second, stop showing up high at your kid’s events and actually meet other parents. Like any responsible adult, you could set up a carpool group and be a part of it. Of course, that would mean Nick/Kayla/April would need to stay clean/sober if they're going to drive other people's kids. But right now (especially after an arrest of the three junkies) the alcohol on Nick's breath and his wild-eyed look in public, no parent in their right mind would ever trust him behind the wheel of a golf cart—let alone near their child.
This is because Nick is a fucking psycho. He doesn't understand how weird and NOT funny it is to complain about things like this to people who have never even met him before, like cops pulling him over for speeding. But apparently any time he gets pulled over for speeding, he immediately starts ranting insanely about how much he hates just driving his kids around.
It’s hilarious, really. The guy acts like he’s some all-American, salt-of-the-earth "trad dad," yet he’s doesn't understand what it's like to get pulled over for speeding. Talk about showing your privilege without saying it outright.
But, you’d think a guy who supposedly grew up in the “rough part” of Houston would know exactly what it’s like to get pulled over, right? Guess not.
