You know what's missing from so much of everything that Alex posts? Gratitude. She has absolutely no gratitude for anybody who helps her exist in this world. And in fact, it's ablest of you to suggest that maybe somebody is helping her exist. I don't understand why she can't acknowledge the person she's "paying" (I'm guessing Noah) and say something like "I decided I wanted to try to feed Ari some broccoli, so I asked [Noah] to cut it up and steam it for 2.5 minutes in the microwave" or whatever. How does that diminish her? It seems really revealing of her deepest insecurities when she gets snappy about the literal fact that she relies on a lot of help to do any caregiving for her child.
If she directs Noah to change Ari's poop diaper, I'm guessing she changed that diaper. Oof that doesn't seem an exhausting attitude to be around at all.

Thank you. You very clearly expressed exactly the perception that I have of Alex. She is so smug and cannot show the slightest bit of humility or gratitude.
Her true disability is her noxious personality. And, if mothers have rights, you'd think that children have them too.
Have files to attach, but site is wonky for me. So I invite you to treat yourself to her latest vlog in the meantime:
Posted 6 December, 2023. Title: "Child protective services show up again | MEDICAL NEGLECT."
Very quick summary:
Talks about her ankle again, because Alex is the center of attention here.
Blames a "TikTok troll" for this recent call.
Call reported medical neglect, citing Ari's eye, which Alex describes as "like a little bit of like a red irritation."
Report is false, "these people" have a vendetta, blah blah.
Call said Ari doesn't have a pediatrician; Alex says she does too, nyah.
Took her in to child protective services: "they just asked a bunch of questions and examined her."
Caller also said she had a black eye.
More blah-blah about how they're totally going to find out who's doing this and you're breaking all the laws.
It's harassment, "our privacy is just being violated on a multitude of things" (GORL).
Talks about "how much I went through in my pregnancy to make sure that she came to fruition perfectly and safely" (GORL).
On and on about reports being anonymous, they're not sure what to do from here.
"The DCFS investigators that have been here are aware that I'm an influencer, I'm on the internet."
Ari has a village! There's nothing wrong with being a single parent! (uh, Noah is right there)
"It's my right as a mother to make content with her." I really dislike Alex.
DCFS came on Saturday, when her wheelchair was broken and her ankle was banged up. This was all really hard for Alex, who was already having a really hard day.
Caller also mentioned the TikTok drunkenness (this tidbit is buried in the video).
Karma will get you!!! What is it with cows and karma?
Says her foot is healing, got the new parts for the wheelchair. Ari who?
Says she's working on hiring caregivers.
Fin.
If you want to watch it, I advise just reading the transcript. She takes forever to say anything at all because 70% of what she says is filler, and she's very repetitive. She mostly whines about how persecuted she is and how awful haters are. Ari barely merits a mention, and Noah isn't mentioned at all.
I think it's the narcissism, they can't possibly be wrong about anything so it must be that their detractors are bad people, and with them being such an important and special individual of course the universe is going to balance out those meanies. Alternative take, it's the laziest way to exact revenge just sit around doing nothing while imagining whoever you don't like having their life fall apart.
The thing is, they are doing the best for Ari. She’s in a stable home with her grandparents, who seem to love her annd care for her. While Alex is drunk in the garage or whatever, Ari is sleeping in her crib after a story and kiss from grandparents. Even Noah seems like he’s natural with her, the little we see anyway. Toddlers get all sorts of scrapes and marks when they are on the move, it’s natural. She’s going to have bruises and black eyes, just from being a toddler.
Ari is in the best possible place with all her needs met. So my fear is these Karens are going to spook them and they’ll move away, into a much worse situation for Ari, with only Noah and Alex in charge, and maybe some Craigslist opiate addict to help.
This isn’t about Ari, it’s about hurting Alex. If it was about Ari they’d realize she’s safe. And hurting Alex, a person with a personality disorder, is not going to work. If it was truly hurting her, she’d stop talking about it and get off-line, but it’s a game to her.
I can see a few outcomes: they get annoyed with the calls and move, putting Ari in a worse situation. Or they call so much that CPS ignores them, saying they are just harassment (which they are.). But someday, Alex might actually put Ari in danger and because they called over nothing, they aren’t even going to check it out anymore. The boy who cried wolf.
If any redditards who are doing this are reading it, stop calling. You are making Ari’s life potentially more dangerous. and giving Alex content. I hope she does find out who’s doing it.

Incredibly well said, unfortunately I don't think an appeal of this nature would work on poo molesting reddit fags. Just like Alex it's all a game to them, there are far more constructive ways to help Ari (and better uses of the Florida DFS' limited resources) but they just want to sit back and giggle like retards as CPS shows up again and again while acting like they have some moral high ground.

This is exactly it: these people don't care about what's best for Ari any more than Alex does. Ari is in a very good place right now, with all sorts of advantages. Based on how little Ari responds to Alex, my feeling is that Alex mostly ignores Ari except for when the camera is turned on for a little content. Alex getting scared/annoyed and fleeing Florida is a worst-case scenario, and it could happen if this goes on.
Alex is a horrible person and a joke of a mother, but that's no reason to call CPS. It's also a case of not looking at the entire situation: Noah seems to be trying, and Ari breaks into smiles and giggles whenever she sees him. He's doing something right, even if it's not on camera. Grandpa obviously dotes on her. Grandma doesn't want to be on camera, but her influence is everywhere: for instance, she's got to be the one picking out the appropriate clothes for Ari (which she never had before; Alex favored Instagramable outfits that were never weather-appropriate or baby-friendly).
People really, really need to lay off with CPS. In Florida, CPS is dealing with situations so horrible that they're actually painful to think about. The system is overloaded. There is no better place that Ari could be: I mean, do they really want her in foster care? Do they realize what foster care is like? Alex enjoys any attention, including negative attention. The only person who can "lose" in this situation is Ari, and she's the completely innocent one here.
As a side note, Alex doesn't get up and start posting until around noon. I like to think of how peaceful the house must be before she gets up and how much quality time the others get to spend with Ari, sans Alex. She's just really not a part of Ari's life in any meaningful way, and that's for the best.
In the meantime, Alex posted yet another video:
"Our daughter's first Christmas! | we are not dating, we are co-parenting"
Quick summary (based on reading transcript, not watching this mess):
Full minute talking about her makeup.
Getting Ari "little trinkets and toys and stuff like that" because she's too young to know who Santa Claus is.
Talks about her dry shampoo situation type deal.
Noah is doing the wrapping, even though "he's not the best wrapper."
Editor's note: this is a newish trend in all of Alex's content: she puts down whatever Noah is trying to do. For instance, he posted the gingerbread house he made on his Instagram and called it his masterpiece. Alex also posted it and called it a "C at best." It's been constant lately-- should do wonders for the mental state of a BPD addict.
Mentions people criticize them for feeding Ari when she's lying down, then goes back to talking about dry shampoo.
Tells Noah how to wrap gifts. Lots of nothing while she tells him what to do.
Thought a box in the garage held the panini maker that she's giving Noah's parents, but it's actually a box of her merch that they'd overlooked. Tells Noah that he can model it.
Promotes new merch. If you were in the market for a sweatshirt that says "COOL DISABLED MOM," you're in luck!
On and on about merch and what a good gift it would make. Gee, I'm beginning to suspect that this whole video is actually an ad for her merch.
She's in her "cool disabled mom era."
Oh good, you can also get it in a crop top. Or a mug. Stickers for laptops! Or for cars! Snapbacks!
"If you're like a cool disabled mom, this shit's right up your alley." Marketing genius, everyone! Reminder that she thinks she's qualified to teach a course about social media stuff.
Hasn't picked up her prescription for Paxil (SSRI), is currently going through withdrawals.
Lots of time spent telling Noah how to cook the kebabs.
Cut to making a gingerbread house (kit from Publix). It's a "premium" kit, not a "shitty" one.
It ends.
tl;dr: it's an ad for merch, when she totally accidentally finds a box of merch in the garage while they're wrapping presents. The garage is spotless and has its own numerical organization system (Grandpa Smith is a man after my own heart), so the box wasn't lost in there. The other thing she does is order Noah around constantly. There's less than a minute of content that's actually about Ari.
I still have a backlog of screencaps and stuff, which I'll get to eventually.
Don't worry, my fellow soft-hearted Kiwi Farmers - Nana and Papa Smith aren't letting that baby leave their house. There's no way. Unless Noah decided to get in on the fleeing action, which I don't see, they'd have to physically help Alex leave the house with Ari and they aren't gonna do that. What's she gonna do? Roll up and demand that they safely secure the kid to her limp self so she can roll off into the sunset? She certainly couldn't stop them from just casually plucking Ari off of her chest as she scooted past. And as far as custody, they could always say (truthfully even) they refused to give her Ari because they were preventing neglect.
Until Alex comes into a largesse and can suddenly pay for accredited and vetted caregivers and and accessible housing with space for Ari, etc, it's not happening.

You know, it's hard to deal with a backlog when your trainwreck keeps trainwrecking. Noah and Alex went live on TikTok last night, and it was a shitshow. Vigilant Redditors caught some clips, so here they are.
Not all of the live seems to be saved. At the beginning, Noah was apparently talking about how bad his mental health is in a semi-scary/ominous way. He's really not a great person, but he's also a full time caretaker for a literal baby and a metaphorical baby, so I can see why he's spiraling.
Noah goes live first, on Alex's TikTok account. Alex apparently didn't know he was doing that. In the background, you can hear Alex and Noah's mom (Tracey) arguing, but it's really hard to make out what they're saying. Video clip is 1:43. It sort of sounds like Tracey is saying that we all make choices, and we all have the option to rise above our upbringing. Alex seems to disagree.
Noah has been giving out his TikTok (or Snapchat?) to someone in chat, spelling it out. Someone named Nikki, who he says is a friend from the past, is trying to get in contact with him (or something; this is not the most coherent live). He says he's been clean of Adderall and Vyvanse and other stimulants for 2 years (GORL) and drops an N-bomb. Clip is 5:14.
Alex demands to be let in the garage, squeaks up to the camera, sees all the mentions of a Nikki, and nearly cries while demanding to know who Nikki is. This video clip is 13:23.
These clips are all worth watching, if you're up to it. They're all pretty loud, and there's music playing (so mind your earbuds). And no, her wheelchair isn't supposed to squeak like that when she moves it up and down.
Bdps are pretty notorious for "unsafe" sexual habits. Doesn't make him any less of a mong for not wearing a condom, but it's not surprising to anyone who's seen BPD in action.
The TikTok live debacle was Friday night. Alex posted nothing at all on Saturday, which suggests there was fallout. I have no doubt that CPS was called, and at least one person on Reddit felt there needed to be a welfare check on Noah. I'm more interested in the fallout that came from inside the house, though.
Alex just posted a picture of Ari in one of the boho disaster outfits that she favors:
So it seems like Alex slept until noon again. Grandma Smith chooses soft sleepers and washing machine-friendly tops; you can always tell who chose what outfit.
Before I get in to posting the backlog, here's 40 minutes from the Friday TikTok live that a moderator on Reddit just uploaded:
Moving on to backlog.
hairy knee
I referenced this in my previous post: Noah also posted it (he's back on Instagram) and called it his masterpiece. Then Alex posts this.
Saved these when I scrubbed through the video. They were just so bad that I couldn't resist.
Everything from here on is videos saved from her Instagram stories.
"Grandma's little turkey" bib. She's started doing the thing where she makes baby noises that have a vaguely verbal intonation. More milestones!
Interestingly enough, from the way he talks, he sounds like he's also demonstrating it for Alex-- as if we needed any proof that she sleeps super late and does no baby care.
NOAH WATCH: he posted this four hours ago, so around 8 AM his time. Again, Alex didn't start posting until noon.
That knee sock/white hat combo is a particularly special needs look, although I appreciate her covering her feet. They evoke a particular kind of visceral horror every time I see them.
I bet she's the first semi-known influencer who has showed her feet without immediately getting a Wikifeet entry from the foot fags - those things are so creepy and dead looking.
I'm heartened by the fact that noah seems to like, interact and bond with his child. I was concerned that he would either physically or mentally dip the minute he could foist the responsibility off onto his parents.
Very daring of them to put ornaments that far down the three. Not that I think it's any danger but it's a eyecatch for babies and you will have to go over and take them away a LOT.
Reddit will probably do a welfare check because how DARE you have a tree in the same house as a small child!!
Kiwi parent tip of the day; put wrapped cardboard boxes w books in them around the three to build a little baby barrier. It works well even if they have figured standing up out

I started buying the plush ornaments when my lils could get to the tree, glass up high, they helped pick a few out and loved it.
I did that baby barrier as well and it was awesome, wayyyyy better than a baby gate.
Also lol at the feet comment, she’s one of the few lucky ones who’s feet are so atrocious looking that no one cares to see them. Her foot drop is horrible.
