Containment Random Thoughts & Questions

If chris is forced to bunk up with someone out of family if he loses the house. It might be the last chance to get him any good influence. roommate saga would be hilarious.
Chris can move out to California with Sockness and we could have the roommate/date rape saga
 
And the sad part is that Barb will never admit it. As much as everything that's happened in Chris's life, Borb got dragged into it, and Barb in particular started feeding into Chris' paranoia and sucking from his welfare at the same time. I wonder if Bob ever thought of getting a divorce from Barb and left with Chris somewhere else? Obviously, Barb would take her husband to court and argue that he is the unfit parent (as Barb usually does), and keep Chris and 14 BLC with child support payments, which is what she has now. The only thing that would change is probably Bob staying alive, but living somewhere else.
Bob had already gone through one divorce and for a lot of Chris’s childhood they were separated. In his mind it was sort of “Well what’s the point? Just let me die in peace”. Now how his son screaming at a camera and destroying his own property translates to “in peace” is questionable but I think Bob legitimately quit caring unless he was directly impacted after Barb came back into the picture and started making changes to the day to day operations. Every night Bob used to like to sit and watch old comedies or listen to his jazz records and Barb put a stop to the latter because the noise interfered with whatever she was watching. They practically lived in separate rooms and pretty much only spoke when it came to finances or Chris. She did watch a few old shows with him sometimes like Gilligans Island or I Love Lucy, but mostly just ignored each other.

I knew of them sleeping in separate rooms, but I didn't know the disconnect was that much. And of course Barb had to put a stop to whatever Bob was doing because it interfered with her personal time.

I wonder if Barb had actually raised a daughter? I mean her parenting skills is what left us with who we are watching now.

So if Bob and Barb slept in separate rooms that makes it a million times creepier (to me, at least) that she wanted Chris to sleep in her bed/cuddle her. That means it wasn't "Your father is dead and I miss sleeping next to someone/having contact/cuddling/whatever" it was almost like she had to lure him into it. I'm going to have trouble sleeping later after thinking about that...

I think when Chris and Bob were away those few years she might of had a weekday lover on the side its only when she retired or when Chris graduated from high school the hoard started up.

Oh it’s creepy as shit for sure. I think it was Bob who got tired of sleeping with Barb though and she kinda knew as much. Chris seems to be more there as a security blanket than anything.

Bob really wasn’t that attracted to Barb. I mean sure they were both drunks but were also kind of cut from a different cloth. Bob came from kind of a respectable family, with good morals and throughout his life he was a religious, charitable, and educated man. Sure he liked the sauce, and he absolutely did hold some views we’d see as bigoted today, but he wasn’t a bad person. Was he neglectful? Yes, absolutely. That’s also partly to do with his age and his upbringing though. He was not equipped to deal with a special needs child in any way. That still doesn’t even make him a bad person, maybe not even a bad parent, just ignorant and lethargic.

Barb was always kind of trash, look at Coles various fathers. She had a history of trying to scam people, and in a way her biggest heist was Bob. She got two houses and part of his pension out of him. Bob had been charging Chris part of the tugboat for rent, Barb upped it. I’ve heard the theory floated that it was trolls who put Chris up to going to the Game Place. Maybe it’s true, but I could see it also being Barb looking for some way to sue them blind for discrimination against her mentally disabled, Tomgirl son.
 
How long do you guys realistically reckon Barb has left to live? She looked like she belonged in a care home in one of her last appearances (September 2019 - living off supplements) and the average life expectancy in those are two years. But she's been anorexic for more than two years now and still capable of walking by herself.

I would say 5 years at most. I'd be very surprised if she lived to her mid 90s.

I've always thought that Chris went to the Game Place of his own volition, but I wouldn't be surprised if he was lured. This was after Bob died, and Barb and Chris had a pretty good inheritance, so Barb would be greedy to do cause she wasn't going to sue to correct Chris' "good" name.

She looks pretty rough but unless Chris brings home a dose of the coof she may have years in her yet.

Bob planned to leave things to David too at least from what I remember. Barb not getting all of it probably made her mad. Chris of course was always mad at the Game Place after his ban and it probably brewed in his head and he might have mentioned it to her, he had definitely mentioned it to trolls several times. Sure he very likely saw that the Place was under new management and maintains it was his idea but in the same post he mentions he was trying to protect his mom.

I don’t know the full story here at all, it’s all conjecture and since nothing is going on with a Chris, I guess that’s all this board is good for right now.

I wonder who was the previous owner of the shoppe was? because he put up with Chris longer than Michael Snyder did. Did Daniel Mimms add the fire to the trolling by posting his pic up?

Chris said it was some guy who was a pedophile and then suspected Snyder was also a pedophile by association. No idea if that was false information he was fed or if it was legit but I lean towards the former because Chris was so willing to believe virtually anything that validated him.

And actually he always has.

I thought Bob and David cut all ties. Even moreso if Barb had any influence when Bob was making any final touches to his will.
 
One of the things that’s been bugging me is the amount of people deciding to try to bother Chris because of GenoSamuel’s videos.

Nah, if any of his kids fully cut all ties, it would be Carol. We know next to nothing about her, but she did not show up to his funeral and Chris has never even seen her. It's possible she cut all ties with Bob or they could've just been estranged due to extreme geographic distance.

We don't even know if Carol lives in the same state as the Chandlers, while David still remained in Virginia.

I think Bob and David still had a relationship, but it was definitely strained over the years. David did see Chris a few times when he was a kid, and he showed up to Bob's funeral. If he really cut all ties, he would've likely just stayed home.

Quite honestly, I think Barb probably had a lot more to do with that than Bob did. Barb really is a toxic person, to the point that even among her white trash family, she's the black sheep.

For all we know, he may have occasionally talked to Bob over the phone every now and then, but wouldn't really want to visit in person because of Barb and possibly Chris.

I honestly think Bob was a well-intended but incompetent parent, and a lot of the things that he gets flak over like putting Chris on the tugboat are really A-Loggy overreactions most of the time.

Bob put Chris on the tugboat after he got fired from Wendy's in less than a month and flunked out of PVCC.

At that point, I think Bob knew Chris was a lost cause and signed him up on Social Security so at least he'd have a safety net of some sort.

Really, the worst things Bob did as a parent were insisting on mainstreaming Chris and deciding to stay with Barb after Chris graduated.

Good points. I think as much as Bob tried, Chris was never going to live a normal life. If Bob wanted to, he could have gotten Chris an apartment close to Ruckersville just to see how living by himself would be like. However, just like his days in PVCC, Chris hasn't gotten a grasp - and still hasn't - of how the world works. There are ways for him to still work while keeping the tugboat, but I guess bob didn't want to go through the effort and Chris was too lazy.

I still have a negative opinion on Bob, seeing that he wanted to falsely expose Snyder because he thinks Chris was harassed, given that Chris was banned because of he own doing, and bob kept on bailing him out. Just like the cub scouts and just like elementary school. And in return, Chris was a rotten son because he was stealing money from his parents.

Are there people who celebrated Bob's death?
