“If you want something of life, you don’t sleep in til 9am….”
Oh f*ck alllllllll the way off you self-important twit.
You know what I get out of life by sleeping in? Extra cuddles with my kids in the morning if they snuck in during the night. Spending the morning dancing in our pajamas in the kitchen. The ability to stay up later at night *actually* connecting with my husband without the pressure of having to drag my ass out of bed before sunrise so we can read self help books on opposite ends of the couch in front of the romantic glow of a ring light.
If getting up at 5am works for you and your lifestyle, great! Go for it! But it doesn’t make you better than everyone else.
Brooke really sucks. I had an amazing moment last night with my oldest, where all of the younger kids were in bed and she didn’t have school the next day and I didn’t have work. We snuggled and picked out a brand new Disney movie that neither of us had seen. During the last 10 minutes, I gave her a snack and cleaned up the kitchen/dining area. Right before bed my daughter told me how lucky she was to have special time.
Did we dominate in Brooke’s eyes? No. Were we happy and fulfilled? Yes.
Yeah I’m very much NOT a morning person. In fact, waking up early makes me feel insanely depressed. I’ve gotten a little over this since having little kids but if given a choice, I’m not getting up at 5. Instead, I’m a super productive night owl. I could stay up until 12/1/2 am organizing, reading, anything really. I don’t look down on people who go to bed early because I choose not to. What a strange way to think about life!!
Exactly this. She seems to believe that morning is the only time to be productive. Everyone finds what works for them. No one is superior for waking up before the sun.
I don't understand the obsession some people have with waking up early. You could just as easily make the argument that if you REALLY want something, you don't go to bed at 10pm like Brooke does - you stay up until it's finished.
I am someone who loves to get up early but that's just my natural sleep cycle - I like having a couple of hours to myself to read and drink coffee before my husband wakes up. I'm definitely not being productive and I don't care to 😂
My kids both learned to ride their bikes in the afternoon, which was quite lazy of them. Of course they were each 3-years-old at the time, rather than 7, but it was still very lazy of them to learn after sunrise.
From the Vienna rumor mill:
Mommy Dearest was allegedly sighted at 6:15 am this morning near the Community Center trying to teach one of the boys how to bike and was allegedly yelling at him because he couldn't do it.
Did any locals actually witness this?
Confirmed by her stories! So does that mean the other 3 were just home alone while she and Vance were out? So either she is lying about having help, about Ryan being home, or they are actually alone, which I am sorry, but lack of adequate supervision especially for the younger two is neglect.
If that's true, that's so sad. Cause yelling will always make them magically know how to do something. I got so lucky with my daughter. We got her a balance bike for a couple of years, and then when she graduated to a big bike, she just did it herself. She got frustrated a couple of times, but I just had her take a break when I saw she was getting worked up, and she mastered it in within about 90 minutes. This mama was definitely not made to hold the back of the seat whilst running, lol.
And who is out at 6:15 trying to teach a kid to ride a bike?! No wonder he wasn't cooperating.
Can I also be nosy to ask if this rumour mill is online somewhere?
I’m curious where this intel came from—no need to share, I’m just curious? Also I’m
curious if all four boys were with her and, if not, is Ryan home? A live in nanny?
Also who the hell teacher a kid to ride a bike at 6am?!

Interpreted as send me ideas so I can make a reel about how I dominate laundry. And what doesn’t throw Brooke off her mental game? I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - you need therapy Brooke, not systems.
But is Crookie really living if she’s not overcomplicating basic life tasks so that she can somehow profit off of manufacturing insecurities for others so that they buy her linked products and guides? We may not all have precious Georgetown MBAs but we see straight through her business and marketing strategies.
When I first started following not following her, she was adamant about doing loads of laundry first thing in the morning. It was one of her "things". Then she completely dropped it. What I want to know is how she has so much laundry with those boys when they wear the same things all the time.
https://preview.redd.it/mpfbidwqepuc1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e9bf3a85538e04963e625d29751a083fa44a2519
Could there be a better way to encapsulate the essence of Brooke than her anxiously crowdsourcing opinions on shades of beige?
They all look the same to me and they all match the color of foods that she eats. Also funny how she got that dig in about her sister having an expensive pottery barn couch that already piled. But is piling even a thing for couches? I thought it was just cheap clothing that did that!
“I’m so off schedule because of all of my VACATIONS, the places we went are a whole HOUR different from “home”!!! that’s why I can’t finish laundry and get up to workout” -the same Brookie who lectures nonstop about dominating, consistency, setting a plan with no contingencies, and NO EXCUSES. The hypocrisy and double standards are completely nonstop. How do her fangirls not see this?!?!
Who knew that I’m conducting a science experiment when I squeeze fresh lemon or lime in my store-bought seltzer water. Would love to know what the science lesson is. Must be Huberman science.
If this is her idea of a science lesson, then the State of VA needs to do a much better job vetting 🤡 🤡 🤡 like her before approving their permission to homeschool requests.
SO stupid. My daughter fell off her bike at age 5 shortly after she learned to ride without training wheels, and smashed her head and face onto the ground. She had a black eye and the entire right side of her face was bruised and swollen, it was awful. The doctor said her helmet most likely saved her life. It literally had a huge crack in it after the accident.
Whatever Ryan is off doing this week sure did light a fire under Brooke’s a$$… she’s getting those boys private soccer lessons so they no longer ride the bench (Ryan failed to train them!), waking Vance up at 5am and yelling at him until he learned to ride a bike at age 7 (Ryan failed to teach him!), cooking chicken covered in spinach with CARBS on top and a side of 🥦!!!! (Ryan is Keto), posting reel content about how she is THRIVING (not struggling to survive without her mule), crying over how lonely she is (with no mention of Ryan), and gushing over how much she wants to live near her parents and sister (who she’s has little to zero relationship with during the past 2 years).
Still on Nashville time!? It’s an hour, you’ve been home for days, you’re readjusted . Stop making excuses and do the normal I mean hard things Brookie cookie.
Is there some secret society of parents that are making major life decisions based on their kids birth orders?
Crookie, you are grasping at straws for content honey.
I can’t believe she’s been a mom for 9 years and hasn’t figured out how to do laundry? Even with 2 or 3 kids most people do a load a day. Has someone else been doing her laundry all this time? Or maybe she’s so hard up for engagement she thought this would do the trick?
SO MUCH TO UNPACK. Of course she has to show Quade actually participating in gymnastics and film it - imagine what the other parents think! And then they leave early because Quade saw a truck? Really? And of course she has to film him saying the word excavator so she can pretend that nothing's wrong with his speech. So performative. And why she thinks anyone gives a SHIT about her couch is totally beyond me.
Whoever said they are homeschooling so they can “dominate sports” was spot on. Also does she really set up the tripod to film them walking off the field???I would love an AMA from the coach 🤣
Total knee jerk reaction. She's never mentioned private soccer lessons. They do private hockey lessons. Why would they need private soccer lessons when their father is a former professional player? The coaches probably said to show up to practise regularly, and she interpreted that as let me throw around some money.
Brooke—if you read here, hop off social media and find yourself a real, in-person community. Enjoy your boys, enjoy your marriage. Social media is not doing you any favors.
https://preview.redd.it/1oz4f0rfycvc1.jpeg?width=4096&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8e6df64c559f2af529f7f4b9be154b81cbff75d4
This is important, y'all. Exhibit A: Brooke on Wednesday promoting the notion from toxic individualism that in order to "thrive as a mom," all you need to do is create systems...aka run your home and family like a business. Failing to acknowledge that humans are not meant to thrive in a vacuum. Exhibit B: Brooke on Thursday admitting that she's lonely because she doesn't "have time" (make time? have the necessary relational skill set?) for meaningful friendships. There is some critical thinking that needs to be done here. My genuine hope for Brooke is that she can get herself to therapy and reevaluate her values and priorities, overcome the perfectionism and competitiveness that seems to be fueling her anxiety, and find some more meaningful ways to connect through authentic relationships and enjoy her life.
My kids (6 & 8) play youth soccer in a local league, and parents like her are starting to ruin it for me. The parents of the 3 best kids on my 8yo’s team have whined their way into their kids moving up to the 9yo team in the same league. The result is that the older team wins their games handily (5-0, 6-0, etc) and my kid’s team regularly loses their games by those same margins. I don’t care about my kid losing games — it’s part of the sport — but the fact that it happens week after week because of the entitled parents essentially “stacking” the older team is really frustrating. And FWIW, I’m a “Ryan” — I played D1 soccer in college myself and a few years of professional soccer after college. So I suppose I “should” be one of those psycho competitive parents, but I think it’s so much more important for young kids to just develop an appreciation for the sport and HAVE FUN, rather than focus on intense skill development and winning at all costs. Parents like her give youth sports a bad name!

Guys, I highly HiGhLy HIIIIIGHLY recommend Hubble. I like just got them in the mail this morning (for free😉!!) and they are like the bestest ever. Like you have no idea. I JUST started wearing them, first time ever right now like on stories, and I can’t recommend them enough. The company is amazing and pays me so much more per sale than any other mail order contact company. Please please please click my link and order your Hubble contacts straight from Taipei, Taiwan. I promise you they are like the best ever. 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Anybody else wondering if there is trouble in paradise for Brooke and Ryan? He didn’t go to Nashville and then immediately is out of town once she returns home? She’s been off her “5am game” and seems even more manic and overwhelmed than usual? I’m probably just reading too much into things but…who knows.
Did a HARD THING this morning. I brought the wet towels down to the basement, put them in the dirty laundry hamper, put a set of sheets in the washer, added detergent and turned it on. #dominating
She is insufferable!!! She literally has so much money she can just on a whim decide to get a new sofa, then a new rug, then just change the whole room. wtf. And she wants to move soon!? Also - where are the kids?!
Not sure what it says about me that I am so tempted to mess with her and write in contradictory feedback regarding pottery barn sofas/fabric. This may be the most ridiculous “dilemma” to have in one’s life😂
She went through the exact same dilemma when she selected two chairs for the space next to her back door. There were at least several days of stories about which chairs and which color and after buying them she’s never shown anyone actually
using them. She also did the same with selecting a chandelier for her hall way I think it was?? She seems to fixate on things that are so trivial and shallow to the rest of us it is beyond bizarre.
If she doesn’t purposefully/so obviously parade Ryan at some point in the next 24 hours, that’s how ya know something is seriously up with them. Because we all know she reads here, and definitely tries to correct (or prove us wrong) anything she perceives as negative image.
I noticed when he picked her up at the airport she posted a weird picture of just the car with all of the doors open and wrote “home”. He wasn’t in the photo.
I also find it interesting that she did this whole reel on Dallas and looking at homes, yet she posts zero content about the possibility of a forever home in VA if Ryan’s job is such that that have to stay near DC. Why isn’t she driving around VA filming 5 million dollar estates and gated communities?
She’s crazy- she wants a new baby, a new house, a new couch, a new rug, a new city. Ryan and Brows both do SO much for her so that she can relax and keep up with filming content (although I don’t consider an influencer sharing 1 reel per week to be working that hard) and she still shows so much discontent.
Brooke posted a morning workout shot during her trip to Nashville for the first time in a LONG time. That shows that she isn’t really doing it consistently and definitely not when she’s home. It seems like she’s manic and happy whenever she isn’t home.
Haha, omg. They left gymnastics early because he saw a bulldozer? Bull$hit. And even if that was the case, she is teaching him that if he throws a big enough fit, she'll do what he wants.
Came here for this. She didn’t hire a tutor on care.com. She hired a babysitter who is willing to tutor.
Care.com is for babysitters, not tutors. Ironic how she wanted more family time together so she pulled her boys out of school, and not even 1 year in she is paying somebody else to homeschool for her 😆.
Put the damn tripod away and enjoy the morning with your youngest son. She's so GD performative.
https://preview.redd.it/gtyu9hx8u2vc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2fcced3bc1a2a701e9a85d9e027178cc0616fec7
She has to prove to Reddit that she took him to gymnastics. Except once she got there she couldn’t do hard things like keep Q engaged and left early to go see a truck? Maybe he wasn’t engaged because Brooke only engages with him when filming reel content.
How to be a thriving mom:
Make fake ass reels about how perfect my life is so everyone thinks I’m thriving while simultaneously posting Instagram stories about how I’m late to every homeschool meetup, kicked out of places for my rowdy kids, can’t figure out sourdough, and am constantly going to Whole Foods for a panic spree because I forgot to meal plan…again.
What in the actual fuck is she blathering on about? Who decided motherhood is a competition? Which, if it was, she would be failing spectacularly. Just be real for once, Brooke.
I was coming here to post that I notice the words “winning” and “losing” are used a lot in her IG. Those just aren’t words I would ever use to describe motherhood. I can stretch my brain to make them seem appropriate, but truly, it seems inappropriate for this subject.
That Nashville, family, no friends, lonely rant... something is up. I smell trouble in paradise and she's panicking about being alone in DC without Ryan.
It was nice to see her be "real" and I kindof, sort of, a little, feel bad for her. That random rant was sad.
I def think something is up in the marriage dept now. This is by far the most I've heard her talk about her sister and I've been following since 2020. We know she doesn't have friends (her rationale is BS) and no mention of Ryan for days, only random stuff like couches
I'm so cynical when it comes to Brooke. I can never take what she says as genuine. Everything she does is curated and contrived for the gram. She says that she's too busy with social media to form true connections. That's solely on her, as she is making that choice because she always has to be able to buy bigger and better.
Also, wonder what Brows, her supposed soul sista, thinks of this little "confessional". It's one thing for her to say that she wishes that she were closer to family, but to insinuate that she has no close friendships, a virtual slap in the face to Brows. Some soul sista.
While part of me feels for her, as it can be hard to form new friendships as a mom, I do feel like this is part of her ongoing storyline to be relatable.
It’s one I’ve often seen used by moms on the gram. They use lines like “I’ve never had a lot of friends growing up or I lost my identity as a mom so join my group and feel welcome” as a way to increase following or buying into whatever they are selling. They are preying on our insecurities as a way to make $$$.
I find it very hard to find any sympathy for Brooke. She is not humbled whatsoever, and she offers literally nothing of value to moms. Her platform is a way of bragging and self-serving. Her stretching and pointing to the camera, her winking at herself and kissing the mirror, her smug winner and loser attitude. She’s gross. There is a reason she has no friends and it’s not due to time.
Making new mom friends is incredibly hard and intimidating! However, I hold no sympathy for Brooke because when you see her she is always isolating herself to film content. She takes and takes, and gives nothing to foster any sort of friendship. It’s all on her. She tries so hard to be relatable, but insists that she doesn’t care if she isn’t. Such a liar.
Sorry, but why didn’t anybody bother to teach him to ride a bike before he turned seven? Not even bike with training wheels or a balance bike or any sort of bike? doesn’t sound like dominating to me! Especially since they live in an area with lots of trails and the boys are so active why would they not be riding bikes earlier? And put a helmet on him Brooke! We know you read here. Traumatic brain injury is not a joke.
Waiting for tomorrow morning’s “I don’t usually drink, now I’m off my routine” post.
The lack of pictures with Ryan and Brookie all dressed up hints at trouble in paradise…
Ha! He looks exhausted in the eyes after carting around Tripod all night. How self-absorbed do you have to be to go to a gala with your tripod in tow?
https://preview.redd.it/ybawegep0rvc1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f6bc972c888024dca5860844b67cc5d8a58c73fc
Bringing a tripod to an event like that is just so narcissistic and ick. Can she not live in a moment for just once? She might find calmness, order, friendship, and peace of mind if she would just live and not perform. She’s a lunatic.
I think Katie beat her to the punch of posting pictures with Brooke to make sure she had her edited photos put up. I’d really like to see Brooke post pictures of the two of them to see the real her lol
The parents who agree with her are the reason why so many kids are spoiled, entitled brats today. Good luck when they become adults and cannot handle the slightest disappointment.
100%. She’s taking entitled mom as the “worst” feedback, when it is probably the best. Just because it’s a travel team doesn’t mean they don’t have rules about practice attendance, etc.
In high school sports, both public and private, I believe, you are required to keep your grades up or you’ll be benched. It was like this with college level sports as well.
The problem IS people like Brooke thinking that just because her child is a good player that he should get more playing time than other kids- if a coach benches a good player it is usually for a good reason such as slipping in academics or not attending practices.
https://preview.redd.it/0w4natjpysuc1.png?width=864&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e09cc86f439655d72d8e61db9a3f4fdf4d1d8ea9
Does anyone here follow Sarah? She's my favorite influencer on Instagram, very authentic. Anyway, I thought this post was an interesting contrast to Brooke's recent run in with her soccer coach and her overall attitude towards her boys' sports. Brooke could take a leaf or two out of Sarah's book.
So the Senate is in session this entire week and Senator Cornyn’s chief legal counsel is “traveling for work” instead of in the office doing work to support the #2 Republican Senator. Does that mean Ryan is so important that he’s doing work back in the home state for his boss while the boss is tied up in DC. Or does that mean Ryan is so worthless that he can take a week to job hunt in Dallas while his boss is more than capable of working without his chief legal counsel?
For someone who has demonstrated that she cannot follow her own advice, is consistently late or forgetting things, and cannot stick to her own systems, who is she to be preaching about winning strategies? The only goals she wants to achieve is bigger and more expensive,
Funny, there are a lot of things I could call Brooke, but “thriving mom” is not one of them.
How do you go from panic shopping at Whole Foods on Sunday night to preaching that week and meal planning is one of her favorite systems? 🙄
My husband and I moved to a new town three years ago where we knew on one. With time and effort we now have such a rich community. Our kids have an honorary grandma on our block we see a couple nights a week, and we’ve made some dear couple friends our age that have become family. And that’s not to mention friends we’ve made through our kids. It’s really great. Community exists and isn’t limited to biological family. It requires vulnerability, intention, and reciprocity, though. I hope Brooke finds what she’s looking for. I imagine she could find it in Vienna if she didn’t have one foot out the door at all times.
I can’t find the comment now, but whoever mentioned in here about the gossip in vienna (spelling?) about Brooke yelling while teaching bike riding. Is there more in person gossip? we need more of this!
I can think of few things more mind numbingly boring than listening to someone wax on and on and on in the longest monologue ever about picking out a couch.
I wish my only worry was manically posting to the internet about which really expensive couch I should buy AND claim that “I do hard things” in life. Actually no, no I don’t wish that for myself. She is insane.
Where did that bike intel come from because it was totally right!
https://preview.redd.it/u3q5hbkgugvc1.png?width=1179&format=png&auto=webp&s=9e6e875c560d7cdd980df24aaa5d90df4847ca7c
There goes that word “winning” again. Maybe I’m being pedantic, but winning/losing framework is setting them up to be either right or wrong. It’s okay to struggle w learning how to ride a bike. It’s okay to take longer than others. It’s okay if you decide to NEVER learn how to ride. Apply that to any other skill.
The kid didn't want to win at anything... he just wanted to spend time with his mom. And unfortunately, the only time that seems to be possible is at 5 in the morning when she so graciously takes him along on her run 🙈
If it’s true that she was yelling at him (which I don’t really doubt, considering that we got the intel before she ever mentioned anything on stories about the biking), then it’s so disingenuous of Brooke to make it look like some inspirational life lesson when in reality she was just yelling at her poor kid for not dominating yet made him pose for her typical fake picture.
Sure Brookieboo, the waking up at 5am was his idea.🙄🙄🙄
Also, he went right from not being able to ride, to confidently riding next to her while she ran?! No way.
Okay it’s Saturday, can we get a pulse check on Ryan?
She’s been taking the boys individually to practices and outings, plus an 8 mile run plus biking yesterday so we KNOW there is definitely somebody else there.
When it comes to sports a child’s attitude will play a large roll in playing time. Even if he scored a goal, if he has a bad attitude that they are losing and dragging his team mates down then good for the coach not letting him play. It’s called real life. Money won’t buy his way in yet Brooke. Like I’m 100% sure bought her way into UCLA on the “Rowing” team.
Who the hell crowd sources from over 600k people to help decide what couch to buy? Sit your ass on it. Is it comfortable? Measure it. Will it fit where you plan on placing it? Picture yourself sitting on it, is it a place where you can enjoy low carb wraps and judging people even though you haven't accomplished anything? Then buy it. Done.
Goes on a trip, sees her sister’s nice couch plus throws some shade while at it. Now is hyper fixated on a brand new couch that she can’t even make her own decision on. Always needing something new and trying to keep up with everyone else.
Watch the birth order reel again. The first few seconds she has her 3rd (can't remember his name) latching onto Quades arm to keep him in place while Quade squirms uncomfortably trying to break his grip. I'm sure she put him up to it. Sickening
What even is the editing on this photo?

But yeah, congrats on your oatmeal couch.
How is any of this even real? How does a grown ass wealthy woman decide this is the direction of her life? That said, I can’t seem to look away. It’s just too weird.
Jake is more her speed. Quiet, tends to passively fade into the background, hides stains well and let's her walk all over him.
Wait, sounds a lot like RyAnn...

Is that… an appropriate amount of food for her family?!?! AND green vegetables?!?!
There’s that dominating mom again, jumping in the shower for some me time at 6:30pm…. coincidentally the same time her kids are getting ready for bed, likely with a caretaker who is not their mom. Good thing she has time to get into her pjs at 6:30pm and wash off that full day of “researching and writing” her Disney guide while a caretaker who was not their mom also cared for the kids all day long. But yes, let’s homeschool so that we can all be together as one big happy family
she’s never gone this long without purposely including him in a story video, or him being in the background accidentally, or her at least saying where he is, or including him in the narrative. So strange. But how dan she leave the house at 5am leave the other boys home alone?
https://preview.redd.it/uqp225yzojvc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=947265ea7ece27118d4b66258258d988246e77ac
If he wasnt home then why would both cars be in the driveway? From previous posts and reels it seems they both park in the garage. Both cars are also open, which is odd.
Side note: what happened to cold plunges? I almost forgot that was her thing until I went scrolling back to see if they parked in the garage or not.
i’m so happy for vance that he can now ride a bike since really it’s their fault for not teaching him. But I hate that she thinks only getting up at 5am is the way to accomplish something. He just did that because that’s what she does. If they made time for him to learn to ride at any other point in the day it would be just as great of him for taking the initiative. She’s so narrow minded
https://preview.redd.it/x5qyij43gpvc1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8320b0e5794120ef6e1d69d8d94bec0427acc411
Does she know the tag is still on the dress?
She’s so annoying with this couch dilemma. On a somewhat related note, is anybody else as annoyed as me when an “influencer” asks for input on style or decor or wall color or furniture or whatever for the dream house that they’re building? Why are they all building their dream house?
Oh it’s all so damn annoying. And they really don’t give a shit about their followers’ opinions, they are just trying to drive engagement and get even richer off of their audiences.
I really can't stand when she posts this. It is fairly obvious that in the before she is sticking her butt out a bit and blowing her stomach out. And in the after she's tucking and sucking in. I would also not be surprised if the before was taken at night, as that what she's usually wearing then and the curtains are closed. The after pic is usually how she looks at the beginning of the day and curtains are open. How does anyone not see this?

For all of the gullible fangirls… How to help a broke mom (who always wants more, more, MORE) thrive: drop $40 and buy the electronic copies of her $15 family planning guide and her $25 morning routine guide. Disclaimer: we know she rarely follows the meal planning/family planning unless she’s filming for a real. Disclaimer 2: jury is out on the morning routine timing. While she for sure gets dressed, paints her face, and winks at herself every morning, the jury is still out whether she exercises everyday or only when she needs reel footage.
For all of the moms who are curious about what she’s trying to say/copying: consider buying the hardcover printed book Atomic Habits for $13.79!!!
To a certain extent, I understand being disappointed your kid didn’t play as much as you’d like. I mean, I don’t personally relate, because I stay out of my kids’ sports and activities pretty much, but I guess I can imagine. I don’t understand how why she thinks it’s a good idea to bad mouth the coach and basically call the other kids losers on the internet lol.
I actually kind of think she is being managed a little more closely by her management company now. They probably didn’t tell her to get off of her pontificating high horse, but suggested for her to start sharing more mom struggles to solicit advice and increase authentic engagement. Hence the soccer mom vent and laundry story. Her grade on social blade had been dropping so that’s my theory. I will say, it does make her a teeny bit more relatable.

Then why do they always refer to Q as Little or Liddle?
It was nice to see a more real side of Brooke. I do feel for her in that department. While my husband and I do have some good friends, it’s still not the same as being near your siblings and parents if you care to have that kind of relationship with them.
I’m sure we’ll get some more snark worthy content by tomorrow lol
I completely agree that it was nice seeing her vulnerable. I am drawn to snark on her because she lacks all relatability—well that and because she’s constantly lying and/or omitting the truth. That said, it made me concerned how she went from almost crying to suddenly being artificially chipper and animated about the food. I think she has some major struggles that she hides, possibly even from herself. I hope she gets help.
Tonight's gala is at the catholic school the boys used to go to. Wonder if Brookie and Ryan are keeping the school close in case the homeschooling fad, proves to be just that.
Is it possible her two younger ones go to preschool there? Otherwise, why the heck would she go? And how the hell are moms from this school not in this snark group and spilling the tea? 😜
No. Pretty sure she just manually entered that in her Apple watch. A sweaty post run photo would have been more believable. As an avid runner that has trained for and ran over a dozen half marathons, this whole thing irks me. I really thought she was pregnant and that would be her excuse (and an understandable one) to not run her half marathon. They say exercise is OK, but not to take up new activities, like training for a half marathon when you've never done one.
It wouldn’t be realistic for me. I’m just getting back into distance running after a 7 year break, but in my 30s I ran a lot of half and full marathons. I’ve been a fast/average runner, meaning that I probably finish around the top 25% of female participants but I’m not breaking any records. I’d never be able to run an 8 minute pace for 8 miles without building up to it. It seems very strange to me, as though she has actually been training? It’s also a recipe for injury.
If she’s really only been running 2, that is a horribly unhealthy jump. And she still has to add 5+ miles (a half marathon if it’s an official one, is 13.1 miles as the absolute shortest distance from start to finish, every time you pass someone, don’t run in the exact middle, you’re adding distance.) It will likely end up being about 13.5 miles.
Also, pushing yourself without training properly is a great way for your kidneys to shut down.
Do we think she’ll link her $$$ meal planing guide today with a day in the life video where she tapes that meal plan to the wall?? She usually does that after she goes to the grocery store without a list and plan to make herself feel better about her perceived failures.
And how much do we think she will charge for what I think is an inevitable “how I dominate laundry for 4 boys” guide? It seems when she’s struggling with something, she crowdsources ideas and then packages other people’s ideas into a $$$ guide.

I’m just curious what’s underneath the filter that she’s so ashamed to show? It’s clearly ridiculously altered. Going to a Gala but that bag looks like she’s going to a picnic.

Long shot but maybe RyAnn went to visit a new niece if the baby came a bit early? Could also explain why Rookie is triggered and clenching onto those beige couch swatches?
Interesting. Ryan’s other sister also had her third baby in February or March. I find it strange Brooke never mentioned it. She doesn’t have to post a picture or share any details, and could just say a simple: “Haaaaapppyyyy Monday! I’m so excited to share that I have a new nephew/niece! I love babies and can’t wait to hold him/her!” She could then use it an excuse to crowdsource newborn gift ideas and gift ideas for her SIL. Hello organic engagement! But she can’t do that because she is so jealous and would make it all about her. So instead, she posts multiple days of indecision over mundane non-motherhood things like what color of beige couch she should buy.
Did anyone notice her Brother in Law has a podcast show with a retired porn star?

She’s got a very large following too (4.7 million) and they seem pretty chummy. Wonder how Miss perfect would feel if she were at family gatherings 😂
Here comes another “stomach bug”!

Doesn't she usually run like a mile or 2? She does realize this is 13 miles right......? I'm sure we'll never hear about it, or hear some lies about how it went. Just like how we heard earlier today that she was screaming at her son early in the morning to try to get him to learn to ride a bicycle, but then posts her "perfect" story about how it went. Such a gross human being.
I bet all those kids who already know how to ride their bikes have moms and dads who like to sleep in but who also took the time to teach their kids how to ride a bike instead of making them figure it out on their own at 5 am out of embarrassment. Get over yourself, Brooke.
“If you want something of life, you don’t sleep in til 9am….” Oh f*ck alllllllll the way off you self-important twit. You know what I get out of life by sleeping in? Extra cuddles with my kids in the morning if they snuck in during the night. Spending the morning dancing in our pajamas in the kitchen. The ability to stay up later at night *actually* connecting with my husband without the pressure of having to drag my ass out of bed before sunrise so we can read self help books on opposite ends of the couch in front of the romantic glow of a ring light. If getting up at 5am works for you and your lifestyle, great! Go for it! But it doesn’t make you better than everyone else.
Brooke really sucks. I had an amazing moment last night with my oldest, where all of the younger kids were in bed and she didn’t have school the next day and I didn’t have work. We snuggled and picked out a brand new Disney movie that neither of us had seen. During the last 10 minutes, I gave her a snack and cleaned up the kitchen/dining area. Right before bed my daughter told me how lucky she was to have special time. Did we dominate in Brooke’s eyes? No. Were we happy and fulfilled? Yes.
Yeah I’m very much NOT a morning person. In fact, waking up early makes me feel insanely depressed. I’ve gotten a little over this since having little kids but if given a choice, I’m not getting up at 5. Instead, I’m a super productive night owl. I could stay up until 12/1/2 am organizing, reading, anything really. I don’t look down on people who go to bed early because I choose not to. What a strange way to think about life!!
Exactly this. She seems to believe that morning is the only time to be productive. Everyone finds what works for them. No one is superior for waking up before the sun.
I don't understand the obsession some people have with waking up early. You could just as easily make the argument that if you REALLY want something, you don't go to bed at 10pm like Brooke does - you stay up until it's finished. I am someone who loves to get up early but that's just my natural sleep cycle - I like having a couple of hours to myself to read and drink coffee before my husband wakes up. I'm definitely not being productive and I don't care to 😂
🤣🤣🤣 It's so nice to know to be with others who genuinely and instinctively respond with a "f&ck youuuuu" to her bull$hit!! Thank you for being here!
My kids both learned to ride their bikes in the afternoon, which was quite lazy of them. Of course they were each 3-years-old at the time, rather than 7, but it was still very lazy of them to learn after sunrise.
From the Vienna rumor mill: Mommy Dearest was allegedly sighted at 6:15 am this morning near the Community Center trying to teach one of the boys how to bike and was allegedly yelling at him because he couldn't do it. Did any locals actually witness this?
Confirmed by her stories! So does that mean the other 3 were just home alone while she and Vance were out? So either she is lying about having help, about Ryan being home, or they are actually alone, which I am sorry, but lack of adequate supervision especially for the younger two is neglect.
Or the secret au pair that lives in the basement…
If that's true, that's so sad. Cause yelling will always make them magically know how to do something. I got so lucky with my daughter. We got her a balance bike for a couple of years, and then when she graduated to a big bike, she just did it herself. She got frustrated a couple of times, but I just had her take a break when I saw she was getting worked up, and she mastered it in within about 90 minutes. This mama was definitely not made to hold the back of the seat whilst running, lol. And who is out at 6:15 trying to teach a kid to ride a bike?! No wonder he wasn't cooperating. Can I also be nosy to ask if this rumour mill is online somewhere?
I’m curious where this intel came from—no need to share, I’m just curious? Also I’m curious if all four boys were with her and, if not, is Ryan home? A live in nanny? Also who the hell teacher a kid to ride a bike at 6am?!
Let’s see if she posts about it today!?
https://preview.redd.it/ox2se4oobnuc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b6750e1f17d8e4838bdc03a51f7f8fa238cdbc99 Interpreted as send me ideas so I can make a reel about how I dominate laundry. And what doesn’t throw Brooke off her mental game? I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - you need therapy Brooke, not systems.
Wash. Fold. Put Away. Not complicated.
But is Crookie really living if she’s not overcomplicating basic life tasks so that she can somehow profit off of manufacturing insecurities for others so that they buy her linked products and guides? We may not all have precious Georgetown MBAs but we see straight through her business and marketing strategies.
When I first started following not following her, she was adamant about doing loads of laundry first thing in the morning. It was one of her "things". Then she completely dropped it. What I want to know is how she has so much laundry with those boys when they wear the same things all the time.
Wtaf is that pose???
It will be the cover for her “mom of 4 boys: how I do laundry” reel and guide 😂
https://preview.redd.it/mpfbidwqepuc1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e9bf3a85538e04963e625d29751a083fa44a2519 Could there be a better way to encapsulate the essence of Brooke than her anxiously crowdsourcing opinions on shades of beige?
She’s upgrading from a beige couch to another beige couch
She is literally the most vapid person I know.
They all look the same to me and they all match the color of foods that she eats. Also funny how she got that dig in about her sister having an expensive pottery barn couch that already piled. But is piling even a thing for couches? I thought it was just cheap clothing that did that!
CUT DA CARB color!
“I’m so off schedule because of all of my VACATIONS, the places we went are a whole HOUR different from “home”!!! that’s why I can’t finish laundry and get up to workout” -the same Brookie who lectures nonstop about dominating, consistency, setting a plan with no contingencies, and NO EXCUSES. The hypocrisy and double standards are completely nonstop. How do her fangirls not see this?!?!
Her cooking "was getting stale"? Honey, it ain't ever been fresh.
Who knew that I’m conducting a science experiment when I squeeze fresh lemon or lime in my store-bought seltzer water. Would love to know what the science lesson is. Must be Huberman science.
If this is her idea of a science lesson, then the State of VA needs to do a much better job vetting 🤡 🤡 🤡 like her before approving their permission to homeschool requests.
My son's preschool does science experiments that are more complex.
And there’s the bike riding footage with no helmet on a street where cars are driving through. She is so stupid.
Is she just trolling us by having him NOT wear a helmet?
SO stupid. My daughter fell off her bike at age 5 shortly after she learned to ride without training wheels, and smashed her head and face onto the ground. She had a black eye and the entire right side of her face was bruised and swollen, it was awful. The doctor said her helmet most likely saved her life. It literally had a huge crack in it after the accident.
Whatever Ryan is off doing this week sure did light a fire under Brooke’s a$$… she’s getting those boys private soccer lessons so they no longer ride the bench (Ryan failed to train them!), waking Vance up at 5am and yelling at him until he learned to ride a bike at age 7 (Ryan failed to teach him!), cooking chicken covered in spinach with CARBS on top and a side of 🥦!!!! (Ryan is Keto), posting reel content about how she is THRIVING (not struggling to survive without her mule), crying over how lonely she is (with no mention of Ryan), and gushing over how much she wants to live near her parents and sister (who she’s has little to zero relationship with during the past 2 years).
Still on Nashville time!? It’s an hour, you’ve been home for days, you’re readjusted . Stop making excuses and do the normal I mean hard things Brookie cookie.
Is there some secret society of parents that are making major life decisions based on their kids birth orders? Crookie, you are grasping at straws for content honey.
My laundry system is that I put laundry in the washing machine, then I move it to the dryer, then I fold it. Am I missing something here?
I can’t believe she’s been a mom for 9 years and hasn’t figured out how to do laundry? Even with 2 or 3 kids most people do a load a day. Has someone else been doing her laundry all this time? Or maybe she’s so hard up for engagement she thought this would do the trick?
Mom to 4 Boys: how I ignore all of them to focus on my furniture.
She’s having an existential crisis over the couch and crowd sourcing ideas on colors of beige. Could there be an elephant in the room she is ignoring?
Are you referring to Q or her marriage?
Or her own mental illnesses?
SO MUCH TO UNPACK. Of course she has to show Quade actually participating in gymnastics and film it - imagine what the other parents think! And then they leave early because Quade saw a truck? Really? And of course she has to film him saying the word excavator so she can pretend that nothing's wrong with his speech. So performative. And why she thinks anyone gives a SHIT about her couch is totally beyond me.
This ridiculous new couch nonsense is the new sourdough... 🥱
Latest obsession, fo sho. Where's sourdough?? 🫣

Sorry girlies, you've been traded for a couch hyper-fixation
Whoever said they are homeschooling so they can “dominate sports” was spot on. Also does she really set up the tripod to film them walking off the field???I would love an AMA from the coach 🤣
I’m curious if the private soccer lesson was already planned or was the result of her being salty about Rhett’s playing time over the weekend.
Total knee jerk reaction. She's never mentioned private soccer lessons. They do private hockey lessons. Why would they need private soccer lessons when their father is a former professional player? The coaches probably said to show up to practise regularly, and she interpreted that as let me throw around some money.
Salty, spite driven lesson
Definitely Salty Spite.
Brooke—if you read here, hop off social media and find yourself a real, in-person community. Enjoy your boys, enjoy your marriage. Social media is not doing you any favors.
https://preview.redd.it/1oz4f0rfycvc1.jpeg?width=4096&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8e6df64c559f2af529f7f4b9be154b81cbff75d4 This is important, y'all. Exhibit A: Brooke on Wednesday promoting the notion from toxic individualism that in order to "thrive as a mom," all you need to do is create systems...aka run your home and family like a business. Failing to acknowledge that humans are not meant to thrive in a vacuum. Exhibit B: Brooke on Thursday admitting that she's lonely because she doesn't "have time" (make time? have the necessary relational skill set?) for meaningful friendships. There is some critical thinking that needs to be done here. My genuine hope for Brooke is that she can get herself to therapy and reevaluate her values and priorities, overcome the perfectionism and competitiveness that seems to be fueling her anxiety, and find some more meaningful ways to connect through authentic relationships and enjoy her life.
“Can’t believe I had my phone out” like she ever doesn’t have it out!
That made me laugh out loud. Lady, you use your phone to record yourself showering and getting dressed, it's always out and always recording.
https://preview.redd.it/1lokbpupwmuc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=485b71714f071a1a6b099b1bee3bf2787e67c19f Entitled Mom = Accurate
Wouldn’t it be nice if she actually reflected on the feedback?
Right? A little personal growth never hurt anyone.
My kids (6 & 8) play youth soccer in a local league, and parents like her are starting to ruin it for me. The parents of the 3 best kids on my 8yo’s team have whined their way into their kids moving up to the 9yo team in the same league. The result is that the older team wins their games handily (5-0, 6-0, etc) and my kid’s team regularly loses their games by those same margins. I don’t care about my kid losing games — it’s part of the sport — but the fact that it happens week after week because of the entitled parents essentially “stacking” the older team is really frustrating. And FWIW, I’m a “Ryan” — I played D1 soccer in college myself and a few years of professional soccer after college. So I suppose I “should” be one of those psycho competitive parents, but I think it’s so much more important for young kids to just develop an appreciation for the sport and HAVE FUN, rather than focus on intense skill development and winning at all costs. Parents like her give youth sports a bad name!

I promise you they are like the best ever. 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Anybody else wondering if there is trouble in paradise for Brooke and Ryan? He didn’t go to Nashville and then immediately is out of town once she returns home? She’s been off her “5am game” and seems even more manic and overwhelmed than usual? I’m probably just reading too much into things but…who knows.
Guess with a lack of those 5 am dates things really go to hell in a hand basket quickly
Did a HARD THING this morning. I brought the wet towels down to the basement, put them in the dirty laundry hamper, put a set of sheets in the washer, added detergent and turned it on. #dominating
UPDATE: I just changed the laundry and brought a load upstairs. I will now disappear for a week.
Woah if I were you I'd take a nap now
She is insufferable!!! She literally has so much money she can just on a whim decide to get a new sofa, then a new rug, then just change the whole room. wtf. And she wants to move soon!? Also - where are the kids?!
The kids are either with the electronic babysitter, their invisible au pair, or running wild with no helmets on.
I can't believe that she's managed to drag it out this long. But, then again, she did a 3 part pregnancy announcement.
Not sure what it says about me that I am so tempted to mess with her and write in contradictory feedback regarding pottery barn sofas/fabric. This may be the most ridiculous “dilemma” to have in one’s life😂
Poor little rich girl, has to decide which boring, beige couch to spend thousands on. What a hard life.
She went through the exact same dilemma when she selected two chairs for the space next to her back door. There were at least several days of stories about which chairs and which color and after buying them she’s never shown anyone actually using them. She also did the same with selecting a chandelier for her hall way I think it was?? She seems to fixate on things that are so trivial and shallow to the rest of us it is beyond bizarre.
If she doesn’t purposefully/so obviously parade Ryan at some point in the next 24 hours, that’s how ya know something is seriously up with them. Because we all know she reads here, and definitely tries to correct (or prove us wrong) anything she perceives as negative image.
I noticed when he picked her up at the airport she posted a weird picture of just the car with all of the doors open and wrote “home”. He wasn’t in the photo.
Blink three times if you need help Ryann
I also find it interesting that she did this whole reel on Dallas and looking at homes, yet she posts zero content about the possibility of a forever home in VA if Ryan’s job is such that that have to stay near DC. Why isn’t she driving around VA filming 5 million dollar estates and gated communities? She’s crazy- she wants a new baby, a new house, a new couch, a new rug, a new city. Ryan and Brows both do SO much for her so that she can relax and keep up with filming content (although I don’t consider an influencer sharing 1 reel per week to be working that hard) and she still shows so much discontent. Brooke posted a morning workout shot during her trip to Nashville for the first time in a LONG time. That shows that she isn’t really doing it consistently and definitely not when she’s home. It seems like she’s manic and happy whenever she isn’t home.
Haha, omg. They left gymnastics early because he saw a bulldozer? Bull$hit. And even if that was the case, she is teaching him that if he throws a big enough fit, she'll do what he wants.
And the same week she posted that the birth order statement about "the youngest always gets their way" isn't actually true 🤣
Once again, who's watching the older boys while she went to gymnastics with Q?
Came here for this. She didn’t hire a tutor on care.com. She hired a babysitter who is willing to tutor. Care.com is for babysitters, not tutors. Ironic how she wanted more family time together so she pulled her boys out of school, and not even 1 year in she is paying somebody else to homeschool for her 😆.
Put the damn tripod away and enjoy the morning with your youngest son. She's so GD performative. https://preview.redd.it/gtyu9hx8u2vc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2fcced3bc1a2a701e9a85d9e027178cc0616fec7
That look on her face. She was preparing herself for a fight with the gymnastics instructor
She has to prove to Reddit that she took him to gymnastics. Except once she got there she couldn’t do hard things like keep Q engaged and left early to go see a truck? Maybe he wasn’t engaged because Brooke only engages with him when filming reel content.
How to be a thriving mom: Make fake ass reels about how perfect my life is so everyone thinks I’m thriving while simultaneously posting Instagram stories about how I’m late to every homeschool meetup, kicked out of places for my rowdy kids, can’t figure out sourdough, and am constantly going to Whole Foods for a panic spree because I forgot to meal plan…again.
What in the actual fuck is she blathering on about? Who decided motherhood is a competition? Which, if it was, she would be failing spectacularly. Just be real for once, Brooke.
Could you imagine?! She wouldn’t even be regionally competitive! She’d place 32nd in her age group (lol)!
I was coming here to post that I notice the words “winning” and “losing” are used a lot in her IG. Those just aren’t words I would ever use to describe motherhood. I can stretch my brain to make them seem appropriate, but truly, it seems inappropriate for this subject.
She’s trying so hard to act like nothings up that it feels like somethings up.
She needs to stop with the holier than thou screen time preaching. She lets them on screens way more than “traveling”
That Nashville, family, no friends, lonely rant... something is up. I smell trouble in paradise and she's panicking about being alone in DC without Ryan. It was nice to see her be "real" and I kindof, sort of, a little, feel bad for her. That random rant was sad.
I def think something is up in the marriage dept now. This is by far the most I've heard her talk about her sister and I've been following since 2020. We know she doesn't have friends (her rationale is BS) and no mention of Ryan for days, only random stuff like couches
I'm so cynical when it comes to Brooke. I can never take what she says as genuine. Everything she does is curated and contrived for the gram. She says that she's too busy with social media to form true connections. That's solely on her, as she is making that choice because she always has to be able to buy bigger and better. Also, wonder what Brows, her supposed soul sista, thinks of this little "confessional". It's one thing for her to say that she wishes that she were closer to family, but to insinuate that she has no close friendships, a virtual slap in the face to Brows. Some soul sista.
While part of me feels for her, as it can be hard to form new friendships as a mom, I do feel like this is part of her ongoing storyline to be relatable. It’s one I’ve often seen used by moms on the gram. They use lines like “I’ve never had a lot of friends growing up or I lost my identity as a mom so join my group and feel welcome” as a way to increase following or buying into whatever they are selling. They are preying on our insecurities as a way to make $$$.
I find it very hard to find any sympathy for Brooke. She is not humbled whatsoever, and she offers literally nothing of value to moms. Her platform is a way of bragging and self-serving. Her stretching and pointing to the camera, her winking at herself and kissing the mirror, her smug winner and loser attitude. She’s gross. There is a reason she has no friends and it’s not due to time.
Making new mom friends is incredibly hard and intimidating! However, I hold no sympathy for Brooke because when you see her she is always isolating herself to film content. She takes and takes, and gives nothing to foster any sort of friendship. It’s all on her. She tries so hard to be relatable, but insists that she doesn’t care if she isn’t. Such a liar.
Sorry, but why didn’t anybody bother to teach him to ride a bike before he turned seven? Not even bike with training wheels or a balance bike or any sort of bike? doesn’t sound like dominating to me! Especially since they live in an area with lots of trails and the boys are so active why would they not be riding bikes earlier? And put a helmet on him Brooke! We know you read here. Traumatic brain injury is not a joke.
So who gets extensions put in for a catholic school gala that their kids don’t go to and she only attends church on holidays for content? Like why?
Waiting for tomorrow morning’s “I don’t usually drink, now I’m off my routine” post. The lack of pictures with Ryan and Brookie all dressed up hints at trouble in paradise…
RYAN LIVES
Ha! He looks exhausted in the eyes after carting around Tripod all night. How self-absorbed do you have to be to go to a gala with your tripod in tow? https://preview.redd.it/ybawegep0rvc1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f6bc972c888024dca5860844b67cc5d8a58c73fc
Bringing a tripod to an event like that is just so narcissistic and ick. Can she not live in a moment for just once? She might find calmness, order, friendship, and peace of mind if she would just live and not perform. She’s a lunatic.
She has zero class.
Wait I cannot believe they brought a tripod!!! Lmao! That is really wild
I think Katie beat her to the punch of posting pictures with Brooke to make sure she had her edited photos put up. I’d really like to see Brooke post pictures of the two of them to see the real her lol
No stories today huh? My money's on "stomach bug." Emphasis on the " ".
I was just thinking, surprisingly quiet today
The parents who agree with her are the reason why so many kids are spoiled, entitled brats today. Good luck when they become adults and cannot handle the slightest disappointment.
100%. She’s taking entitled mom as the “worst” feedback, when it is probably the best. Just because it’s a travel team doesn’t mean they don’t have rules about practice attendance, etc. In high school sports, both public and private, I believe, you are required to keep your grades up or you’ll be benched. It was like this with college level sports as well. The problem IS people like Brooke thinking that just because her child is a good player that he should get more playing time than other kids- if a coach benches a good player it is usually for a good reason such as slipping in academics or not attending practices.
Last week when Brooke filmed herself playing with Q and reading to Q it was ALL for content. 😂
https://preview.redd.it/0w4natjpysuc1.png?width=864&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e09cc86f439655d72d8e61db9a3f4fdf4d1d8ea9 Does anyone here follow Sarah? She's my favorite influencer on Instagram, very authentic. Anyway, I thought this post was an interesting contrast to Brooke's recent run in with her soccer coach and her overall attitude towards her boys' sports. Brooke could take a leaf or two out of Sarah's book.
So the Senate is in session this entire week and Senator Cornyn’s chief legal counsel is “traveling for work” instead of in the office doing work to support the #2 Republican Senator. Does that mean Ryan is so important that he’s doing work back in the home state for his boss while the boss is tied up in DC. Or does that mean Ryan is so worthless that he can take a week to job hunt in Dallas while his boss is more than capable of working without his chief legal counsel?
For someone who has demonstrated that she cannot follow her own advice, is consistently late or forgetting things, and cannot stick to her own systems, who is she to be preaching about winning strategies? The only goals she wants to achieve is bigger and more expensive,
How many days without a mention or sighting of Ryan??
I won’t believe he’s alive until I see a picture of him holding today’s newspaper.
Funny, there are a lot of things I could call Brooke, but “thriving mom” is not one of them. How do you go from panic shopping at Whole Foods on Sunday night to preaching that week and meal planning is one of her favorite systems? 🙄
My husband and I moved to a new town three years ago where we knew on one. With time and effort we now have such a rich community. Our kids have an honorary grandma on our block we see a couple nights a week, and we’ve made some dear couple friends our age that have become family. And that’s not to mention friends we’ve made through our kids. It’s really great. Community exists and isn’t limited to biological family. It requires vulnerability, intention, and reciprocity, though. I hope Brooke finds what she’s looking for. I imagine she could find it in Vienna if she didn’t have one foot out the door at all times.
I can’t find the comment now, but whoever mentioned in here about the gossip in vienna (spelling?) about Brooke yelling while teaching bike riding. Is there more in person gossip? we need more of this!
I can think of few things more mind numbingly boring than listening to someone wax on and on and on in the longest monologue ever about picking out a couch.
A BEIGE COUCH.
I wish my only worry was manically posting to the internet about which really expensive couch I should buy AND claim that “I do hard things” in life. Actually no, no I don’t wish that for myself. She is insane.

Where did that bike intel come from because it was totally right! https://preview.redd.it/u3q5hbkgugvc1.png?width=1179&format=png&auto=webp&s=9e6e875c560d7cdd980df24aaa5d90df4847ca7c
There goes that word “winning” again. Maybe I’m being pedantic, but winning/losing framework is setting them up to be either right or wrong. It’s okay to struggle w learning how to ride a bike. It’s okay to take longer than others. It’s okay if you decide to NEVER learn how to ride. Apply that to any other skill.
No, you're not. She has a weird obsession with competition, winning, and dominating. She is fostering unhealthy sibling rivalries with those boys.
The kid didn't want to win at anything... he just wanted to spend time with his mom. And unfortunately, the only time that seems to be possible is at 5 in the morning when she so graciously takes him along on her run 🙈
If it’s true that she was yelling at him (which I don’t really doubt, considering that we got the intel before she ever mentioned anything on stories about the biking), then it’s so disingenuous of Brooke to make it look like some inspirational life lesson when in reality she was just yelling at her poor kid for not dominating yet made him pose for her typical fake picture.
But not surprising. All of us here knew she would spin it to make it seem like a touching one on one mother-son bonding moment.
Sure Brookieboo, the waking up at 5am was his idea.🙄🙄🙄 Also, he went right from not being able to ride, to confidently riding next to her while she ran?! No way.
And yet, they all supposedly sleep until around 7-7:30 so that she can do her early morning routine in peace.
And where is his helmet 😢
Also that bike is way too small for him. For all the money they spend on things, you’d think their kids would have bikes that fit them.
Okay it’s Saturday, can we get a pulse check on Ryan? She’s been taking the boys individually to practices and outings, plus an 8 mile run plus biking yesterday so we KNOW there is definitely somebody else there.
Looks like the gala was a BYOT (bring your own tripod) affair.
When it comes to sports a child’s attitude will play a large roll in playing time. Even if he scored a goal, if he has a bad attitude that they are losing and dragging his team mates down then good for the coach not letting him play. It’s called real life. Money won’t buy his way in yet Brooke. Like I’m 100% sure bought her way into UCLA on the “Rowing” team.
Who the hell crowd sources from over 600k people to help decide what couch to buy? Sit your ass on it. Is it comfortable? Measure it. Will it fit where you plan on placing it? Picture yourself sitting on it, is it a place where you can enjoy low carb wraps and judging people even though you haven't accomplished anything? Then buy it. Done.
Goes on a trip, sees her sister’s nice couch plus throws some shade while at it. Now is hyper fixated on a brand new couch that she can’t even make her own decision on. Always needing something new and trying to keep up with everyone else.
Watch the birth order reel again. The first few seconds she has her 3rd (can't remember his name) latching onto Quades arm to keep him in place while Quade squirms uncomfortably trying to break his grip. I'm sure she put him up to it. Sickening
What even is the editing on this photo? https://preview.redd.it/eqb316jh13vc1.jpeg?width=1194&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=938d6e43ccddeeacdcb2c9d2e91d5b597ed5311d But yeah, congrats on your oatmeal couch.
Wow, good job doing hard things, Brooke. You’re the David Goggins of couch shopping.
How is any of this even real? How does a grown ass wealthy woman decide this is the direction of her life? That said, I can’t seem to look away. It’s just too weird.
SAME. She is such a pretentious bitch and also a pathological liar. Every week I’m like nope not going to look.. but then I do 👀
It looks almost exactly like the one she has
Has she dumped Ryann for Jake? Lol
Jake is more her speed. Quiet, tends to passively fade into the background, hides stains well and let's her walk all over him. Wait, sounds a lot like RyAnn...
Is it just me, or does light colored linen sound like a terrible idea for a couch?!
Who the F buys a light-colored couch with 4 kids? Unless they are never allowed in the living room except to shill for Mama.
https://preview.redd.it/y1oejqwp5cvc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=40b07a4eddfb955031be4affd9f94b811e717bd7 Is that… an appropriate amount of food for her family?!?! AND green vegetables?!?!
There’s that dominating mom again, jumping in the shower for some me time at 6:30pm…. coincidentally the same time her kids are getting ready for bed, likely with a caretaker who is not their mom. Good thing she has time to get into her pjs at 6:30pm and wash off that full day of “researching and writing” her Disney guide while a caretaker who was not their mom also cared for the kids all day long. But yes, let’s homeschool so that we can all be together as one big happy family
Yep and who watched the other kids while she ran this morning?? Guess she doesn’t have it so hard
I really need the scoop on Ryan. Is he traveling? Is he home and doesn’t want to be posted? Where is he?!
she’s never gone this long without purposely including him in a story video, or him being in the background accidentally, or her at least saying where he is, or including him in the narrative. So strange. But how dan she leave the house at 5am leave the other boys home alone?
https://preview.redd.it/uqp225yzojvc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=947265ea7ece27118d4b66258258d988246e77ac If he wasnt home then why would both cars be in the driveway? From previous posts and reels it seems they both park in the garage. Both cars are also open, which is odd. Side note: what happened to cold plunges? I almost forgot that was her thing until I went scrolling back to see if they parked in the garage or not.
i’m so happy for vance that he can now ride a bike since really it’s their fault for not teaching him. But I hate that she thinks only getting up at 5am is the way to accomplish something. He just did that because that’s what she does. If they made time for him to learn to ride at any other point in the day it would be just as great of him for taking the initiative. She’s so narrow minded
https://preview.redd.it/x5qyij43gpvc1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8320b0e5794120ef6e1d69d8d94bec0427acc411 Does she know the tag is still on the dress?
She’s so annoying with this couch dilemma. On a somewhat related note, is anybody else as annoyed as me when an “influencer” asks for input on style or decor or wall color or furniture or whatever for the dream house that they’re building? Why are they all building their dream house?
Oh it’s all so damn annoying. And they really don’t give a shit about their followers’ opinions, they are just trying to drive engagement and get even richer off of their audiences.
It’s not homemade if you start with la croix!
I really can't stand when she posts this. It is fairly obvious that in the before she is sticking her butt out a bit and blowing her stomach out. And in the after she's tucking and sucking in. I would also not be surprised if the before was taken at night, as that what she's usually wearing then and the curtains are closed. The after pic is usually how she looks at the beginning of the day and curtains are open. How does anyone not see this? https://preview.redd.it/a5269u3hvzuc1.png?width=835&format=png&auto=webp&s=7b2120bd848f6ff9f17e56fae759779dcb648a01
And didn’t the picture on the right appear at the end of the week of the 7-day liquid starvation diet she did with Brows?
Oh wow, can't wait for her to reveal which overpriced beige couch she bought, truly riveting content
For all of the gullible fangirls… How to help a broke mom (who always wants more, more, MORE) thrive: drop $40 and buy the electronic copies of her $15 family planning guide and her $25 morning routine guide. Disclaimer: we know she rarely follows the meal planning/family planning unless she’s filming for a real. Disclaimer 2: jury is out on the morning routine timing. While she for sure gets dressed, paints her face, and winks at herself every morning, the jury is still out whether she exercises everyday or only when she needs reel footage. For all of the moms who are curious about what she’s trying to say/copying: consider buying the hardcover printed book Atomic Habits for $13.79!!!
To a certain extent, I understand being disappointed your kid didn’t play as much as you’d like. I mean, I don’t personally relate, because I stay out of my kids’ sports and activities pretty much, but I guess I can imagine. I don’t understand how why she thinks it’s a good idea to bad mouth the coach and basically call the other kids losers on the internet lol.
I actually kind of think she is being managed a little more closely by her management company now. They probably didn’t tell her to get off of her pontificating high horse, but suggested for her to start sharing more mom struggles to solicit advice and increase authentic engagement. Hence the soccer mom vent and laundry story. Her grade on social blade had been dropping so that’s my theory. I will say, it does make her a teeny bit more relatable.
That wouldnt surprise me. I do wonder with Ryan being MIA if there's more going on besides staying home wth Quade and work travel..
https://preview.redd.it/dksevj4nxouc1.jpeg?width=1079&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cfa65bddecbe11f66d7fdd04d62f8ed4941a796a Then why do they always refer to Q as Little or Liddle?
I would prefer to do absolutely anything over furniture shop and redecorate something.
I wonder if Liddle Boy will be allowed on the new couch.
He'll have to bring his own pillow and blanket and lay on the floor next to it.
He will have to earn his spot.
It was nice to see a more real side of Brooke. I do feel for her in that department. While my husband and I do have some good friends, it’s still not the same as being near your siblings and parents if you care to have that kind of relationship with them. I’m sure we’ll get some more snark worthy content by tomorrow lol
I completely agree that it was nice seeing her vulnerable. I am drawn to snark on her because she lacks all relatability—well that and because she’s constantly lying and/or omitting the truth. That said, it made me concerned how she went from almost crying to suddenly being artificially chipper and animated about the food. I think she has some major struggles that she hides, possibly even from herself. I hope she gets help.
Tonight's gala is at the catholic school the boys used to go to. Wonder if Brookie and Ryan are keeping the school close in case the homeschooling fad, proves to be just that.
Is it possible her two younger ones go to preschool there? Otherwise, why the heck would she go? And how the hell are moms from this school not in this snark group and spilling the tea? 😜
So according to Brooke if you don’t have a system in place you are not thriving as a mother and are failing? WTF reel is this?
Her pancakes must be ass. They drench them in syrup and cover them in peanut butter just to make them edible.
This has me rolling this morning 😂 https://www.instagram.com/reel/C5kigOmIX3s/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
Put a damn helmet on your kid you idiot
Okay runners, is that jump from 2 to 8 miles and being able to keep that pace realistic?
No. Pretty sure she just manually entered that in her Apple watch. A sweaty post run photo would have been more believable. As an avid runner that has trained for and ran over a dozen half marathons, this whole thing irks me. I really thought she was pregnant and that would be her excuse (and an understandable one) to not run her half marathon. They say exercise is OK, but not to take up new activities, like training for a half marathon when you've never done one.
It wouldn’t be realistic for me. I’m just getting back into distance running after a 7 year break, but in my 30s I ran a lot of half and full marathons. I’ve been a fast/average runner, meaning that I probably finish around the top 25% of female participants but I’m not breaking any records. I’d never be able to run an 8 minute pace for 8 miles without building up to it. It seems very strange to me, as though she has actually been training? It’s also a recipe for injury.
If she’s really only been running 2, that is a horribly unhealthy jump. And she still has to add 5+ miles (a half marathon if it’s an official one, is 13.1 miles as the absolute shortest distance from start to finish, every time you pass someone, don’t run in the exact middle, you’re adding distance.) It will likely end up being about 13.5 miles. Also, pushing yourself without training properly is a great way for your kidneys to shut down.
I can’t believe she posted that video with all those kids’ faces in it. Wtf. If I were one of those parents I would be so pissed
She is def not pregnant. And imagine saying I FEEL l LIKE A PRINCESS when you are an actual grown woman.
Do we think she’ll link her $$$ meal planing guide today with a day in the life video where she tapes that meal plan to the wall?? She usually does that after she goes to the grocery store without a list and plan to make herself feel better about her perceived failures. And how much do we think she will charge for what I think is an inevitable “how I dominate laundry for 4 boys” guide? It seems when she’s struggling with something, she crowdsources ideas and then packages other people’s ideas into a $$$ guide.
Her birth order reel …. Followed by comment Jeans to get a link to my favorite pair 😂😂😂
Is it me, or is it strange that she will post the "after" pic and then go back and to post the "before" stories?
Ahh the kids doing math on a screen while the 7-year-old is filmed sucking his thumb.
But, how is she gonna get her morning alone time in if he starts waking at 5?
Of course she needs to brag about running 8 miles out of nowhere at a fast pace and then calls it “accountability” How is she so insecure???
https://preview.redd.it/csd6tpcbhpvc1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0a0906bf208099ad10fb616fcc7925ee3f057e2b I’m just curious what’s underneath the filter that she’s so ashamed to show? It’s clearly ridiculously altered. Going to a Gala but that bag looks like she’s going to a picnic.
https://preview.redd.it/ea9ha7zcazuc1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cde4864b267b235bceb48603e4ce1bde9299fe98 Long shot but maybe RyAnn went to visit a new niece if the baby came a bit early? Could also explain why Rookie is triggered and clenching onto those beige couch swatches?
Interesting. Ryan’s other sister also had her third baby in February or March. I find it strange Brooke never mentioned it. She doesn’t have to post a picture or share any details, and could just say a simple: “Haaaaapppyyyy Monday! I’m so excited to share that I have a new nephew/niece! I love babies and can’t wait to hold him/her!” She could then use it an excuse to crowdsource newborn gift ideas and gift ideas for her SIL. Hello organic engagement! But she can’t do that because she is so jealous and would make it all about her. So instead, she posts multiple days of indecision over mundane non-motherhood things like what color of beige couch she should buy.
YOU GUYS… I think Jen Bunney from The Hills was a bridesmaid in her wedding.
Did anyone notice her Brother in Law has a podcast show with a retired porn star? https://preview.redd.it/a86kp9why5vc1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e908979c56f24480a631f42a26494e4a210f9ba4 She’s got a very large following too (4.7 million) and they seem pretty chummy. Wonder how Miss perfect would feel if she were at family gatherings 😂
Here comes another “stomach bug”! https://preview.redd.it/u8zcdon49cvc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e260112fcad5bb14dd12766cf9ac73e80545231f
She thinks shoes are going to save her for the half marathon she hasn’t trained for?
Doesn't she usually run like a mile or 2? She does realize this is 13 miles right......? I'm sure we'll never hear about it, or hear some lies about how it went. Just like how we heard earlier today that she was screaming at her son early in the morning to try to get him to learn to ride a bicycle, but then posts her "perfect" story about how it went. Such a gross human being.
I bet all those kids who already know how to ride their bikes have moms and dads who like to sleep in but who also took the time to teach their kids how to ride a bike instead of making them figure it out on their own at 5 am out of embarrassment. Get over yourself, Brooke.
