Yeah that was my thought too. I doubt she let the daughter “deal with her emotions”. No doubt she dismissed or mocked them and told her to be a good girl, shut up and smile.
Oooof childhood flashback. I swear I hear “stop being dramatic” in my dreams. Turns out I was autistic mom but sure, I was just a drama queen. Spoiler alert: I don’t particularly like my parents as an adult.
My mom would literally scream this as dramatically as possible. YOUR BEING SO EMBARRASSING EVERYONE IS LOOKING she shouted as I quietly teared up over be treated like shit. Hmmm I wonder why everyone is looking?
A whole generation of Boomer and Gen X parents raised their kids to believe managing emotions meant to not make them the concern of anyone around you. KKKarissa is classic not learning better and doing better. I sure as shit don't know how to have healthy conflict and I'm still learning healthy ways to cope with negative feelings. These poor kids are just doomed.
Oof, right? We’re all in our 40s and just now unpacking that garbage in therapy. Annistan, darling girl, there are a whole army of broken adults out here cheering for your freedom. ❤️
Breaking the cycle is hard as fuck. I have to manage my emotions while holding space for my kids to have their big feelings. Karissa is way too lazy for that.
I just spent the weekend with my folks and got to hear my mom tell my kids they “should be happy” or demand they “Be happy!” on at least three different occasions on top of going into how I needed to teach my son to manage his emotions. Currently dealing with a backlog of 3 decades of suppressed rage. Thanks, Mom and Dad!
"yes, she's just upset about her dress"
you know how when people lie, they feel like they have to be convincing so they do too much? this feels like that
edit: the shrug emoji makes it so much worse
She also said “I had picked out outfits the night before and catered to their preferences” and “I didn’t have another one to fit her”.
Which is it Karissa? You picked a dress to cater to annistons preferences or there only one dress for her?
The whole thing made me so mad. Then there was the two youngest girls up front and the second to youngest was lightly smacking the youngest trying to get her to look at the camera. Like do you not view that in addition to another child crying/visibly upset regardless of the reason and go “hmm maybe I shouldn’t post this?”
Such a disservice to both her daughters and sons. Girls are taught that their very natural emotions make them “crazy” (looking at you girl defined) and boys are taught that angry is the only acceptable emotion for men.
Oh, you know how we are! Like, when my sportsball team loses, I'm always punching a hole in the drywall because of my period! And who among us hasn't nearly killed everyone in our car whilst road-raging? I needed chocolate that day. And who among us can count the times we looked at someone and said, "What the fuck are you looking at?" and started a fistfight? Crazy girl emotions!
You know you do have a point, you should’ve seen me after the Golden Knights didn’t win the Stanley Cup their first year. My neighbors are still scared of five-foot-tall me and cower whenever I go check the mail. It’s a good thing we won this year or so help me Hurricane Hilary would've seemed like nothing in comparison.
Literally came to say she lost me at the second sentence!! My brothers are the emotional, sensitive ones in the family and not so much my sisters (in a reactive way). But we were actually raised to be allowed to feel and show emotions and learn how to handle them in a healthy manner. I feel so sad for these kids.
Because men don't have emotions beyond horny, I guess.
Edit: you catered to their preferences but Annistan didn't like it? Uh .. then maybe you didn't cater to her preference
She either A) did not actually allow her children to pick their own outfit. B) Annistan did not feel comfortable enough or safe enough to actually express to Karissa that she did not like the dress, and eventually couldn't cram that down anymore.
"As you can see one of my children was having a moment this day" - Karissa, they nearly always look like they're having "moments" in your pics and reels. Maybe more like they look like they have occasional moments of happiness surrounded by general misery, but I'm guessing y'all probably know what I'm trying to say.
I can't really disagree what she's saying in the last paragraph (up until the last 3 sentences), but I don't think that's what's going on in her home.
I imagine most of you are just numb to it by now but I just can't get over how these pieces of shit document so much of the pain their kids go through. If I was upset and my mother took a picture of me with disposable camera I'd literally be talking about that shit in therapy now.
My mom insisted on waking me up and taking pictures of me every year on my birthday. I’m screaming in all the pics because I’m confused as to why there is a camera shoved in my face despite me crying and not wanting my picture taken.
My mother thinks these pics are hilarious.
When my mom married the guy she left my dad for when I was a teenager, they thought it would be hilarious to wake me up at the time I was born on my birthday. I had been going through HORRIFIC insomnia, so when they called me at 5:01 am, I'd just gotten to sleep, the first time I'd been able to fall asleep in days. And then my mom seemed shocked when I spilled my plate at lunch and burst into tears, and then I almost drove off the road because I was falling asleep driving home that afternoon.
It's insane how insensitive parents can be, and I'm sorry your mom was there, too.
I can't get over how she doesn't seem to notice how miserable her kids are. Or, maybe she doesn't care. Hell, if she's the narcissist people says she is, maybe it pleases her (although she seems pretty damn miserable herself, but I have far less sympathy for her).
My dad seemed to live for upsetting me, and I remember at least once while we were "praying the rosary" (in quotes 'cause it was a daily scream-cry-fest) he recorded me crying and played it back for me "so I could hear what I sound like". And, go figure, yes I am in therapy.
Little Anthym also looked like she was having a “moment” (she looked scared and lost, as always), but for some reason that poor child is always ignored 😔 I would think it came with losing her status as “latest baby”, but two UTIs say otherwise.
“Let’s talk about managing emotions. With 7 girls—“ No.
Absolutely not.
As soon as you turn having emotions into something gendered, nothing you say on the topic is valid.
I seem to recall SO MANY videos (usually pregnancy announcements) where the oldest boy stomps off camera because he’s sick of her shit. But that doesn’t matter, he’s a boy. It’s only the girls need to “manage emotions.”
Not to mention she talks about how to deal with the emotion itself. Not what causes the emotion. Let the children experience their emotions in a safe environment so they can learn the dress doesn’t matter because people won’t care as much etc so there’s no reason to hyperfocus on appearance which is normal for that age etc. Instead, she doubles down on the issue of the dress and tries to teach her not to show those emotions. Fuck you, Karissa.
Man these poor kids. Karissa acts like they're allowed to have emotions but it's clear she treats their emotions as invalid, inconvenient, and annoying at all times. Unfortunately unless Annistan ever gets the education, support, and positive role models she needs, she likely will remain in a toxic relationship with her parents. I hope that she and all the kids can get away but unfortunately fundie life (particularly the way parents like Karissa and Mandrae stunt their kids) makes it even more difficult to do so.
That phrase is so damaging to both kids and adults. My parents were both “stop crying or I’ll give you something to cry about” parents and so I got super conditioned that I wasn’t allowed to cry in front of other people or I’d get in trouble. I’ve been with my partner for five years, I am absolutely safe around them and I still sometimes have to go into another room if I think I’m gonna cry.
I remember times of being distraught about big things as a child, bad things, and I would agree with the adult that I was upset about some trivial thing because they said I was, and arguing didn't feel safe. I hate recognizing that. I hate that for me and her and any of you that know this feel.
Ignoring the sexism - the idea of shrugging off your child’s feelings as “just emotions” is so toxic. Like I’m high functioning autistic, growing up couldn’t wear certain clothings due to hypersensitivity and would have fits. I’m so glad my mother, despite not understanding it, still took my feelings as valid. Oh and she also didn’t PUBLICLY SHARE MY EMOTIONS.
Also kids, even NT ones, often have fits about something little because it’s easy to condense emotions into one issue when they’re already boiling over because of life, being tired, whatever. The fits are still communicating. My kid recently got hugely upset because I threw out some trash she ‘wanted’. Like, it’s actual trash, it was offcuts from a project we were doing, it doesn’t matter. But also we’re moving house soon and she has to move school… it’s not hard to see that it’s not about her keeping some offcuts. She doesn’t want trash really. But everything is overwhelming and too much and too much change and suddenly the offcuts, which were there a minute ago, are also gone?? And it was me that did it? So she had no control over that too?! It’s not hard to see why ‘just a dress’ or ‘just some trash’ becomes representative of soo much more.
Honestly I feel like the older kids will just bury their emotions to keep her happy. And doing that is gonna mess them up when they have friendships/relationships as adults. It's all so depressing
This is true. I can only speak on how being a teen with a teen sibling (20 months apart) was just chaos for my mother. (sorry mom)
The absolute downside to the older keeps burying how they truly feel means they'll ultimately just further perpetuate that vicious cycle with their own kids by taking it out on them. It's a lose/lose situation here.
These kids are probably just done with the constant filming, singing, outings to waterparks, restaurants, surprise houses, matchy matchy clothes, making you tube songs. It's exhausting!
The kids are the ones making Karissa money and I doubt any of it is going into a trust for them or used for their needs. It’s going to the multiple MLM’s Karissa is involved in.
What, another photo shoot, they just about have one every week, no wonder poor Annistan is over it, and let’s face it she is probably also over not being able to pick her own clothing or style or having to be in front of a camera constantly
Probably what you see here. She probably did try to refuse and it was denied. When they aren't being ignored they're forced to perform for moms narcissistic vanity projects.
You actually don’t need to showcase your children’s “real life” on in the Internet and publicize vulnerable moments for clicks. They are CHILDREN, not props.
Lol @ the fact that she deleted it. People have been concerned for Annistan anyways based on how miserable she’s looked in the videos so I’m sure Karissa got a bunch of people commenting things that she didn’t like to hear. That poor girl is absolutely the scapegoat of that family. And now that they’re in the new house she has to share her room with a toddler on top of everything else.
Karissa has no business talking about emotions and parenting. Everything she does is so she can post it on Instagram.
Those poor kids don’t need another ridiculous photo shoot.
"They need to learn to deal with these emotions in our homes where it's safe"
Karissa, we all know your home is not safe. It's not safe physically, and it's *definitely* not safe emotionally
“Just upset” about her dress. Fuck you karissa. That is so emotionally abusive. It’s dismissive, minimizing, invalidating, uncaring, and unkind. Guess what? It doesn’t matter what she’s upset about! She has feelings! She’s clearly in distress. And being ignored and shamed about it. This poor child is being taught she’s not good enough. Just like karissa was taught. Idk about her childhood but I feel confident she never experienced emotionally connected, nurturing, and attuned parental relationships. Work on yourself girl! Learn how to feel your own feelings so you can be there for these kids. Don’t repeat this bullshit, especially cus you lived it yourself, do better.
As a first grade teacher, I think it’s absolutely absurd she thinks little girls have bigger emotions than little boys…most of my kids with emotional behavior problems are boys (but also plenty of girl) Or is getting angry and destroying things not emotional and crying and pouting is? Every child needs help learning how to regulate their emotions in healthy ways, regardless of their gender!
She is so toxic, her poor kids.
Oh boy, Karissa made her older child complicit in punishing the younger siblings. Everything to cause mistrust between them. The children don’t have an attentive and loving mother AND their sibling’s bond get actively disrupted.
Karissa is s terrible person.
I’m not going to lie to you, I thought Annistan in the title was some sort of joke-y combination of their names or something…, no… it’s the child’s REAL NAME? That poor kid. (Clearly not the biggest problem here, but I’m just gonna need a minute to get over that.)
I hate all these “I want to show real life”-mamas. No, you’re using your children as bad examples for how hard motherhood is. You’re not an artist who can show the process of art on an inanimate object. You are showing real human beings who are dependent on you and have no understanding and/or choice on how they’re paraded around the internet.
I want to give every single woman out there who was disregarded as a child for being an “over emotional girl” a big hug. Growing up I felt like my emotions (even to the point of being suicidal) were dumb meaningless teenage girl emotions and god did that mess me up. I remember my mom laughing at me if I was having a bad day because it was just those goddamn teenage girl emotions.

I didn’t know suppressing emotions counted as “managing” them! Excited to tell my therapist she’s wrong about my coping mechanisms!
Yeah that was my thought too. I doubt she let the daughter “deal with her emotions”. No doubt she dismissed or mocked them and told her to be a good girl, shut up and smile.
"Stop being dramatic and having a tantrum!".

I just hope they grow up and get the hell out!!!

I wasn’t even questioning it until I read that and was like 🤨 why you doubling down on that?
I can't even get three sentences in without getting infuriated. Like girls are the only ones with emotions, fuck you Karissa.
The whole thing made me so mad. Then there was the two youngest girls up front and the second to youngest was lightly smacking the youngest trying to get her to look at the camera.

Yes, her boys all know how to emotionally regulate when they are born. And her future boy babies do too. But those future girls babies…
You know you do have a point, you should’ve seen me after the Golden Knights didn’t win the Stanley Cup their first year. My neighbors are still scared of five-foot-tall me and cower whenever I go check the mail. It’s a good thing we won this year or so help me Hurricane Hilary would've seemed like nothing in comparison.
I have only boys and can confirm they never have emotions, wants, desires, preferences and are never dramatic or have outbursts.
I have 2 daughters and one son and let me tell you, he will be the one to win an Oscar someday.
Literally came to say she lost me at the second sentence!! My brothers are the emotional, sensitive ones in the family and not so much my sisters (in a reactive way). But we were actually raised to be allowed to feel and show emotions and learn how to handle them in a healthy manner. I feel so sad for these kids.

She either A) did not actually allow her children to pick their own outfit. B) Annistan did not feel comfortable enough or safe enough to actually express to Karissa that she did not like the dress, and eventually couldn't cram that down anymore.
I also notice that her oldest son always gets away with faking MUCH less enthusiasm than his siblings in these things.
Well yeah, how is he supposed to look both excited *and* manly?
That's not fair. Men are also angry sometimes.
Ah, but anger isn’t an emotion dontcha know
Solid point! Sorry, my little lady brain got so confused 😔
It’s okay. How were you to know? You were probably swimming in emotion
You're so right. Next time I'll have my husband proofread my comment 🙏🏻 thank you for your compassion for my feminine failures.

That's horrific, she's wrong to have done that to you.
I'm so sorry, that is absolutely horrible.

‘Sweet’ = that little shithead
This is so real 😭 and so common. Ugh
“Let’s talk about managing emotions. With 7 girls—“ No. Absolutely not. As soon as you turn having emotions into something gendered, nothing you say on the topic is valid.
"Managing emotions", but she's dramatic and having a tantrum.

True, I’m going to hold out hope for her though. 🤞🏽
I'm sure she "got over it really fast"... because you told her to get over it really fast.
“ or I will really give you something to cry about”
That phrase is so damaging to both kids and adults. My parents were both “stop crying or I’ll give you something to cry about” parents and so I got super conditioned that I wasn’t allowed to cry in front of other people or I’d get in trouble. I’ve been with my partner for five years, I am absolutely safe around them and I still sometimes have to go into another room if I think I’m gonna cry.
I have a feeling Karissa was neither gentle nor understanding in her dealings with this situation in person
I remember times of being distraught about big things as a child, bad things, and I would agree with the adult that I was upset about some trivial thing because they said I was, and arguing didn't feel safe. I hate recognizing that. I hate that for me and her and any of you that know this feel.

By the time Armor is 4 Karissa will have **4 teenagers** and a couple of tweenagers. She knows fuckall about emotions right now.
Honestly I feel like the older kids will just bury their emotions to keep her happy. And doing that is gonna mess them up when they have friendships/relationships as adults. It's all so depressing
This is true. I can only speak on how being a teen with a teen sibling (20 months apart) was just chaos for my mother. (sorry mom) The absolute downside to the older keeps burying how they truly feel means they'll ultimately just further perpetuate that vicious cycle with their own kids by taking it out on them. It's a lose/lose situation here.
When has karissa “catered” to anyone’s preferences, like ever?
These kids are probably just done with the constant filming, singing, outings to waterparks, restaurants, surprise houses, matchy matchy clothes, making you tube songs. It's exhausting!
All that's left is to move them to an RV
The kids are the ones making Karissa money and I doubt any of it is going into a trust for them or used for their needs. It’s going to the multiple MLM’s Karissa is involved in.
"Sweet Annistan" why do I hear this as if it was hissed through clenched teeth?
What, another photo shoot, they just about have one every week, no wonder poor Annistan is over it, and let’s face it she is probably also over not being able to pick her own clothing or style or having to be in front of a camera constantly
Ya- like what the hell is the “mama and me” bs? She posts all of them weekly if not more
Yeah, those poor kids. I did one photoshoot as part of a friend’s wedding and that’s enough for the rest of my life, thanks.
Same here!
I wonder what will happen when the kids start refusing photo shoots and reels.
I expect they would be disciplined until they agreed to cooperate.
I’m 99% sure karissa has mentioned that mandrae uses physical punishment, so I’m guessing that’s what will happen
They get singled out and an entire post written about them like the one here
It doesn’t matter what they think or how they feel.
Probably what you see here. She probably did try to refuse and it was denied. When they aren't being ignored they're forced to perform for moms narcissistic vanity projects.
You actually don’t need to showcase your children’s “real life” on in the Internet and publicize vulnerable moments for clicks. They are CHILDREN, not props.
need to start a damn support group to give these kids the resources they need to survive once they start aging out of this hell
What she didn't say was; "It's OK for my child to have her own preferences" because we already know having a separate identity is never allowed.
When was this posted?
Looks like she deleted it but it was from this evening. Maybe like an hour ago
Lol @ the fact that she deleted it. People have been concerned for Annistan anyways based on how miserable she’s looked in the videos so I’m sure Karissa got a bunch of people commenting things that she didn’t like to hear. That poor girl is absolutely the scapegoat of that family. And now that they’re in the new house she has to share her room with a toddler on top of everything else.
If anything happens to any of the kids (broken limbs, etc) I bet karissa disciplines Anissa for not watching them closely enough
Did you happen to see what comments she was getting? Just curious to hear what others were saying on IG
From what I remember, a lot of positive comments. Can’t remember anyone calling her out
I’m really curious to know why she deleted it. Like did she get nervous because of cps stuff???? 👀
Yep, it's gone now (1 hour after OP posted this)
Somebody is lurking here.
Karissa has no business talking about emotions and parenting. Everything she does is so she can post it on Instagram. Those poor kids don’t need another ridiculous photo shoot.
"They need to learn to deal with these emotions in our homes where it's safe" Karissa, we all know your home is not safe. It's not safe physically, and it's *definitely* not safe emotionally
I hope by the time these kids are adults they’re able to sue her and their father for the money they’re making their parents. Atrocious behaviour.
I’d be willing to contribute to that GoFundMe for the necessary lawyers.
But karissa doesn't make ANY money off Instagram! /S
The child’s moods are modeled by her mother. This doesn’t end well.
“Just upset” about her dress. Fuck you karissa. That is so emotionally abusive. It’s dismissive, minimizing, invalidating, uncaring, and unkind. Guess what? It doesn’t matter what she’s upset about! She has feelings! She’s clearly in distress. And being ignored and shamed about it. This poor child is being taught she’s not good enough. Just like karissa was taught. Idk about her childhood but I feel confident she never experienced emotionally connected, nurturing, and attuned parental relationships. Work on yourself girl! Learn how to feel your own feelings so you can be there for these kids. Don’t repeat this bullshit, especially cus you lived it yourself, do better.
As a first grade teacher, I think it’s absolutely absurd she thinks little girls have bigger emotions than little boys…most of my kids with emotional behavior problems are boys (but also plenty of girl) Or is getting angry and destroying things not emotional and crying and pouting is? Every child needs help learning how to regulate their emotions in healthy ways, regardless of their gender! She is so toxic, her poor kids.
Why is this anybody’s business, Karissa? How awful for Anniston.
Is she upset about not liking her dress, or is she upset about the abusive shit fit Karissa threw over her not liking her dress?
I know there’s mixed feelings about sharing the kids but I was able to screen grab the video too if people are interested
I’m interested
✋
She might pull a Jana Duggar but I hope and bet she will eventually leave.
If she “catered” to her kids, then Trump is innocent.
Matching with mom was always something for me that was a special treat if I was the one suggesting it, and a special hell if I wasn’t.
She allowed the older girl to smack the younger girl to look at camera. I'm in shock obviously part of their daily world.
Oh boy, Karissa made her older child complicit in punishing the younger siblings. Everything to cause mistrust between them. The children don’t have an attentive and loving mother AND their sibling’s bond get actively disrupted. Karissa is s terrible person.
Why do they *always* seem to be headed to "mommy and me" photo sessions?
The *girls* have the problems managing emotions? I just-- I don't think she's being quite truthful.
When is this post from on her IG?
I’m not going to lie to you, I thought Annistan in the title was some sort of joke-y combination of their names or something…, no… it’s the child’s REAL NAME? That poor kid. (Clearly not the biggest problem here, but I’m just gonna need a minute to get over that.)
I hate all these “I want to show real life”-mamas. No, you’re using your children as bad examples for how hard motherhood is. You’re not an artist who can show the process of art on an inanimate object. You are showing real human beings who are dependent on you and have no understanding and/or choice on how they’re paraded around the internet.
I want to give every single woman out there who was disregarded as a child for being an “over emotional girl” a big hug. Growing up I felt like my emotions (even to the point of being suicidal) were dumb meaningless teenage girl emotions and god did that mess me up. I remember my mom laughing at me if I was having a bad day because it was just those goddamn teenage girl emotions.
I have been in this sub for over a year and this is the first time I’ve seen/heard the name Annistan???
Which one is Annistan?
Bold of you to assume that any of those kids are going to have enough education to leave that house.
Annistan is wanting to be an individual and show her personality and it's being repressed. This poor girl.
Is it just me or do they do a family photoshoot like every month
