Dramacow Michael Christopher Martin & Heather Lynn Martin /DaddyOFive/MommyOFive/FamilyOFive / MikeMartin1982 - now DaddyOOne, serving 5 years probation for child neglect, doesn't know when to quit

yeah i guess my sin is not being as outraged as everyone else bcs this shit happens everywhere all the time and these people are just dumb enough to film it. i guess i just don't have my PhD in child abuse that now all of a sudden everybody on the trial by internet jury has. what they've done is so obviously wrong that i don't think you get extra points for being more mad at them than the situation really calls for given the abysmally low bar american parenting norms have in most of the working-class country.

How often did Daddy hit you?

Are you "hungover" again?

 

[Inflatable Julay]

TBH if I was married to that lard of a woman I'd have anger issues too

e: holy FUCK she's only five years older than me? I assumed she was in her 40s lmao

 

[Rudolph H.]

A lot of this just seems like them having fun. Why is everyone getting so pissed? Afterwards even Cody says it's a prank and he thinks it's funny after everyone calms down.

Don't be such a pussy.

This joke is even better the twelfth time I saw it.

So your argument isn't that it's not child abuse, but you just don't care because children get abused already by other people anyways? What an odd standpoint to have.

I noticed this weird 'trend' that whenever there's an apology video or something where Mike is discussing things, that fat pig is with him always. In the video where they discuss about why they're not bringing Cody to Disney Mike seems to be reluctant to talk about the situation when the lard ass asks about why he would take Cody with them before 'spilling' the beans and going "He put poop on walls". Mike is obviously as guilty as the landwhale, they didn't need to record that video in the first place and secondly, why the hell would you announce that your stepkid smeared shit on the wall?

They said it was to protect him from being embarrassed for clogging the toilet.

Clearly smearing shit on the wall is less embarrassing tbh fam.

First he smeared shit on the walls, then he clogged the toilet, then they said they were afraid he would run off during the trip. Funny how they weren't concerned about that in classics such as "LOST CHILD prank", "Kid RUNS AWAY from home", and "kid gets kicked out". Obviously smearing shit on the walls is far less embarrassing than being an over-excited kid running around a theme park.

I'm excited to see what happens on the next episode of Why We Didn't Take Cody To Disney.

One thing that will be fun to watch is that one day Cody will grow up.

And he might grow up so sick of abuse that he turns in to another Ricky Rodriguez:

And he may decide that its his time to give, instead of receive. He might come for answers they can not give, he may come out with a "prank" video of his very own.

It's depressingly possible. There's already video of his sister Emma being tormented with him justifying it by saying "It's fine Emma, we all get pranked"

Well shit, I just read the entire thread and watched a lot of the videos.

I think Mike is mostly just really immature but he's not a sociopath. I really think if he went through counciling and was made to understand why what he's doing is wrong he might be able to be a good dad.

Heather is clearly a psychopath, I think she is the one calling the shots and goading Mike into doing dumber and dumber shit. Plus, Jake really creeps me out. It's disturbing to me that Emma only has a curtain in her room and not a door. I really think Jake might be doing bad things to her.

Cody seems like a badass and it's amazing he's as well adjusted as he is. Hopefully he and Emma can go back to their real mom.

Ironically, very small children display "sociopathic" tendencies. Toddlers have a hard time empathizing with others just because their brains haven't developed to that point yet - they're very egotistical and all-about-me. They're concerned with getting what they want, RIGHT NOW NOW NOW! at all costs.

It's mostly through contact with peers that they learn how to empathize; if they hit their friend Susie because she took their toy and Susie starts to cry, their little brains start thinking "Oh gee, Susie is crying because I hit her, it's bad to hit even though she took my toy." The toy becomes less important than making sure their friend doesn't feel bad. But again this is a learned behavior and also needs to be modeled by parents so the kids get a consistent reinforcement of that message. (TV and kids' media is not effective at this).

Some kids don't get that modeling from their parents and therefore have less capability for empathy - the oldest Martin child is a good example of this, he clearly takes pleasure in tormenting his siblings because that's what he sees his parents do and he is rewarded for doing so by getting toys and electronics from the YouTube money.

If the stories about Michael's childhood are to be believed, he got the opposite modeling from his mom. He never progressed beyond a toddler's capability for empathy. A traumatizing childhood is also a good explanation for his ridiculous fixation on toys (funko pop), YouTube, and video games - he never grew and matured enough to leave childhood behind, and might be trying subconsciously live a happier one. He's not a sociopath; there is not a brain abnormality that is making him incapable of empathizing at all. He is just a giant toddler.

This is a family that looks for reasons to punish their kids whether they're actually misbehaving or not. They will even instigate tension until the child in question is distressed enough to do something that would earn them a punishment.

They probably had a ticket for Cody but he was never meant to go. There is just no amount of good that this kid could be, they would have found something, anything to excuse him from the trip. This is probably why their reason for not bringing Cody keeps evolving or changing.

Cody didn't look too disappointed about being left behind. What child wouldn't throw a spastic fit over not being taken to Disney world?! Answer, a child who knows his terrorizing family would have only ruined it for him anyway, just like they ruin everything at home.

Maybe sadist would be a better word than sociopath.

He doesn't seem to actually be getting pleasure from the misery of others like Jake does. Mike seems like he truly doesn't understand why everyone isn't laughing with him when he says "it's just a prank brah!"
