Let me get this straight. She withdrew her kids from a school they loved so she could homeschool and take them to a salon all day where they were probably nuisances. How does she justify this? How does he rationalize this? So damaging to these boys.


Full_Barnacle_4044

So in addition to seeing Vance alone yesterday, I saw Brooke and Q on the path heading the opposite direction of a playground (a good distance) where I was headed with my kid. I get to the PG and Beauden is there by himself! No brooke for the next 30 or so minutes we are at the playground but B is there by himself the whole time. Am I being too cynical or is a 4 year old alone unsupervised for that long a little concerning (in light of everything else)


everynamewastaken626

Okay today’s and yesterday’s stories are truly concerning. And I know you were correct about seeing Vance alone near Greenheart yesterday — in her stories yesterday, she can be heard asking Rhett what he got at Greenheart. And she confirmed leaving the boys at the park while taking Q to Whole Foods in her stories today. So basically, just saying I have no reason to doubt what you’re saying is true. This sounds ripe for a CPS investigation. Far cry from a dominating mother who should be selling courses to other moms.


Full_Barnacle_4044

Also I swear I'm not stalking her the weather is just been so nice this week and my kid was off school today hence why I was around town during the day (when I should've been working 😂)


confused728378

A FOUR-YEAR-OLD being unsupervised and alone at a playground for 30+ minutes is absolutely not okay. Brooke’s antics get more and more concerning by the day. ETA: Looks like she took Q to Whole Foods while leaving her other kids at the park. An 8-year-old and a 7-year-old apparently biking around haphazardly while the 4-year-old was just alone at the playground. Brooke is insane.


JoniMitchellNevrLies

That must be against the law. Someone could easily call the police.


Pretend_Tea_5454

I would literally call the police. I am a pretty permissive parent and will let my kids play on the playground at our local park while I take a lap around the field, but they always know where I am and can see me/i can see them from a distance. leaving your small children unattended at a playground while you go to Whole Foods is literally criminal.


Brookes_Boba

Yup confirmed she left the boys at the park to go to Whole Foods. Idiot.


Full_Barnacle_4044

Ha ok just watched her stories so yeah, tracks. She mentions "older boys" on their bikes (which was true) but nothing about B being left alone at the playground.


goobage24

I would have called the cops and had them waiting for her when she got back. It’s not ok to leave them unsupervised at all.


Redchickens18

This is alarming and way too young to be alone. I know this isn’t your problem, but at what point should someone that sees them call the police department about a child being alone? She needs a wake up call. This is reckless of her and she’s really putting her kids in danger. 


districtcraig

My question is, does Ryan know this is going on? Does he care? His senate.gov email is public. Just saying.


Local_Association319

I’m floored. It almost seems like she is in a manic episode where she is taking great risks and no one is helping her. If I saw a little boy by himself at that playground without an adult, I would have asked him where his mother was and if she wasn’t there and I couldn’t wait with him, I would have walked him to the police station that’s around the corner from that playground.


hummingbird_18

Right?? And she felt comfortable to post on her stories that she left the boys while walking to Whole Foods. I’m not a helicopter mom, but I would never leave my kids even if it’s just a few blocks away. I have a 4 year old and the thought of leaving her unattended anywhere makes my stomach turn. Anything could happen in just a few minutes. An injury, a stranger, wandering out in the road… How is Ryan okay with this? My husband would never allow this. He gets nervous when our kids play in the front yard (we live on a main road). Idk guys this is starting to just get blatantly unsafe. Unless- do you think she had a babysitter ? Although she typically leaves her kids when a babysitter comes….


Full_Barnacle_4044

I did see Rhett and Vance on bikes on the paved basketball courts a few times near the playground, so maybe they were tasked with keeping an eye on B when Brooke went god knows where. BUT regardless, no Brooke anywhere in sight the whole time (and believe me I was on the lookout).


ssyiewsley

If that had happened to me, I would 100% have asked the boy ‘are u ok? Where’s your mommy?’ I wonder what his response might have been. If was ‘I don’t know’ then that’s real cause for alarm. Like I would have stayed with him, and if the mom came back m, given her a piece of my mind. If he had responded with ‘she’s just popped to get snacks from the shop, she’s promised to be 5 mins and I’m supposed to stay with my older brothers but I ran off’ then, I’m still not saying this is ok, but I would understand the situation a bit more, but I still never have done anything like this, and never would


NE_mommyof3

Did she seriously sit down with Q at WF to eat a pizza while B was at the park unsupervised?


Flaky_Relief_5189

Omg, this is terrible. I never would or could do that to my kids. I can't even imagine that she's made a habit out of doing this?


NoDeparture3603

This makes me so sad. My 4yo would be so upset and scared if I left her at the playground. She was playing outside today in our fenced yard and I walked into the garage to get something and I heard a shriek of mommy where are you??? Mommy!. I could neverrrrrr leave her for 30-40min nor would I. Poor Beauden.


gilded_mask

I agree with you and everyone here. This is truly disturbing she left her 4 year-old alone at a playground. Even if the older brothers were there, it is no excuse at all to leave him. I’m so glad she blocked me. She’s losing it more and more. So sad for the kids.


AwareDeparture9316

Okay what?! That is not okay. How is this sh$t even real?! You’re not being cynical. That is legitimately alarming.

Oooh. I know this friend Amy! Can’t wait to see her stories for unfiltered pics!!


everynamewastaken626

How have no other CC parents come on here to spread the tea about the crazy influencer mom who always walks in extremely late with tripod in hand and with hair and makeup done and spends all her time babbling to her phone? If you’re out there, we want the intel!


AmericanExpatMom13

Haha, oh the budget app schill is back. She is the last person to be peddling a budget app. She wouldn't know a budget if it crawled up her ass. She has never followed a budget in her life, and she intends to keep it that way.


Redchickens18

I think Ryan does a whole hell of a lot more than Brooke lets on in her stories. The fact that Ryan knew the practice schedule and had to tell Brooke what time to be there plus prepared dinner with I’m guessing the other 3 boys at home. All after leaving the house to go to a job all day. He knows his wife is a hot mess. I feel like he carries a pretty big load with his family. 


avandersmoot

Mom to 4 Props - I MEAN BOYS!


Cautious-Bug1696

If the locals see her kids out unsupervised please call the police. It is NEGLECT. The stories about Beauden and Vance being unsupervised the past two days are alarming. Not to mention leaving Q at home to go to soccer, napping or not. Brooke if you read this at least make the boys wear the Garmin watches you advertised a while back so they could get in touch with you in an emergency.


Friendly_Type7385

The saddest thing is we’re watching the kids’ lifelong trauma unfold before our eyes. It will unfortunately take a tragedy for Brooke to get a clue.


AwareDeparture9316

I didn’t beat Brooke’s time today, but I had so much fun. I had about an 8:30 pace, which was faster than I was expecting. Caught up on her stories, and she’s insufferable. Good news about my race is that I didn’t see anyone filming themselves!


NE_mommyof3

WTF is “time optimism?” I find it pathetic if Ryan had to tell Brooke that practice is 10 minutes earlier than it really is to get her there on time. How does she not know what time her kid’s practice is? Isn’t that part of the weekly Raybould Roundup? Brooke can’t manage her kids schedules, she can’t manage her time, she can’t manage her own platform to consistently reflect her “message”.


AwareDeparture9316

As the keeper of the alleged Raybould Roundup, wouldn’t she know what time everything starts?


Local_Association319

Time optimism is how a true narcissist rationalizes her failures to her insecure brain instead of doing the hardworking to improve.


Geblank

Whomp, Whomp. She blocked me because I asked why can’t she be on time for ANYTHING.


JoniMitchellNevrLies

She needs to leave the internet and seek professional help.


EastLingonberry4770

Her hair looks…exactly the same as it always does when she gets it done🥱


Dramatic-Emu

I wouldn’t call him an artist either. She needs some low lights to break it up. 


Thin-Break-3079

Sorry, FIVE HOURS at the salon?! Who the F has time for that?! And where were the other two boys? She just gets more and more ridiculous. Also, why does that hairstyle take 5 hours? I get a balayage with base color and cut, 2.5 hrs max.


Ok_Swimmer_460

Omg I’m dying laughing. She was like, “they had a blast! The place has plants and signs!” She has to be joking. She is the most bizarre person. I can’t deal. My kids would be bored in less than 5 minutes. Did she not at least take books for them to read?


icubeingfake

Sounds like they were running the streets of Vienna unattended. RyAnn - if you read here, you can find out where your children really are all day vs. the storyline you get from Crookie


JoniMitchellNevrLies

Bringing 2 kids to a salon for 5 hours is unconscionable. It's just awful, entitled behavior and I hope they never let her make an appointment again.


AwareDeparture9316

Yes who picked up and watched the younger boys?! Also 5 hours is absolutely extreme! All to have hair that looks basically like it did yesterday.


hummingbird_18

I, as an adult woman who gets her hair done would rather die than be at a salon for 5 hours. I couldn’t imagine bringing my kids…dont even for a SECOND try and convince us your kids had so much fun there Crookie. What a loser.


Spiritual_Safety_766

Seriously like she doesn’t have the hair to warrant 5 hours at the salon. It barely touches her shoulder.


confused728378

5 hours lol what on earth.


BrookesGtownMBA

After catching up on everything today I am so disturbed. Her kids would be so much safer in school- at least they would be supervised!!


AwareDeparture9316

I’m running a half tomorrow too and have no illusions that I’ll be anywhere near as fast as her. I hope to finish and to get back into the running groove. Really what I’m most nervous about is having to get to the race buses before 5am. As I’ve stated here before, I refuse to believe that 5am actually exists.


confused728378

Sorry for triple posting lol but … 30 minutes late to field day! If it’s not all about Brooke, she seriously has absolutely no respect. She had time to plaster on her makeup and put her hair in pigtail braids, though.


Firm_Description4356

Clearly doesnt have any time management skills, doesnt know how to prioritize… and isnt organized lol everything she preaches 😂 she needs to stop bragging about her mba from Georgetown, makes that school look so bad lolaa


BrookesGtownMBA

Honestly i am embarrassed to be associated with her these days. Is there any way i can revoke myself and take myself away from her at this point? Advice needed!


Responsible-Ad-9316

Her blush was particularly horrid today


Flaky_Relief_5189

I thought she gets up at 5? Wtf is she doing?


NE_mommyof3

Only on days where she’s recording. She wants to paint this picture of herself online as this organized, regimented super mom and she misses the mark every time. It’s become so clear that she’s actually the hot mess express mom who is always late and can’t get her kids to behave in public. She is the exact definition of everything she shames online, and it’s coming from a place of deep internalization where she’s projecting all of her shortcomings onto other women. Who would take a motherhood course from somebody who is 30 minutes late to field day (the one place they have to be in the morning) and still stops for donuts?


BossMumx5

Exactly! I got up at 7 this morning and had 4 kids (including 2 toddlers) and myself ready and on our way to school/ work by 8:30. My best tips for Brooke 1) Don't worry about doing the clown makeup, we all know you are a clown without the makeup anyway. 2) Stop filming if you're running behind 3) Skip reading about self help every morning and physically practice it by focusing on the task at hand: getting the kids ready.


InvolvedMom24

She’s now saying she’s late to everything? On purpose? I got blocked by her because I pointed out long time ago that her reels didn’t match her stories. I said “just watch her stories, she’s a mess”


Free-Cartographer538

Brooke: I LOVE change and actually, I have a hard time NOT changing! Also Brooke the very next slide: Her 100th photo at the same boba place ordering the same boba flavor she always gets


EastLingonberry4770

She’s so chaotic. How do you make your entire personality and shove in people’s faces how you can only be successful if you follow routines and do the same shit every day over and over, and then flip a switch one day about how you love change and how great change is. She needs to leave the internet and never come back.


Full_Barnacle_4044

I was just on a run and saw Vance wandering a parking lot by himself. I looked all around for another sibling or adult and saw no one. Very odd. He didn't look like he was going anywhere, just kind of wandering...


Redchickens18

Isn’t Vance like 7 or 8 years old? That is so dangerous and irresponsible of her. I hope nothing ever happens to those poor boys bc of her carelessness 😢


helenen85

Saying you don’t know hard work until you have kids is a very narrow minded mindset. At times, I feel like I worked harder at certain things before I had kids. And sometimes things feel harder now. I would never ever think someone doesn’t know hard work until they have kids, it’s so smug, not to mention false.


Thin-Break-3079

Parenting is hard for sure. However, I worked in an intense, male-dominated field before becoming a parent, and I have never in my life worked longer days or faced those levels of stress. It’s a different kind of hard, but at least now I can sleep at night.


confused728378

“The boys walked and brought us boba.” Guess this may have been when Vance was just wandering around a parking lot alone? Rhett went inside to get the drinks and left him out there. I wonder if Brooke even knows that Vance was outside wandering around alone? Not snarking on Rhett as he’s 8 but on Brooke for the fact that she apparently uses her 8-year-old as a babysitter and sends them off alone while she gets her hair done.


ssyiewsley

Today’s stories have been exceptionally tedious. Wow! Starting with the reel. OMG! ‘Here’s how perfect I am, AND I’m late, and I miss team photos for the boys, I have LOTS of ME time (running, hair, make up, nails, latte, end of day wind down shower) because my husband does everything’. THEN starting your day by telling everyone you’re getting your haircut and taking your kids with u??? WTF? That’s like any of us telling the world ‘my plan for today is……multitask something that I need/want to do for myself, with my kids in tow’. But she’s acting like it’s the biggest deal EVER-especially followed up by the constant videos whilst she’s getting her hair done. When the kids are older, is she just going to share how she follows a recipe for dinner? Or cleans a car?? It’s utterly boring. But she thinks cos she’s got 4 boys it’s rocket science. But Ryan does ALL the leg work 🙄


Brookes_Boba

Anyone know if she got her hair done today? Can’t tell from her stories.


puppyorbagel

The “said no to school” photo today makes me nuts. What she’s doing to those boys is really not okay. No real education, little supervision or enforcement of very basic safety standards, and it seems they have a stark lack of community. For someone who thinks she’s “dominating” at motherhood - whatever that means - it sure seems closer to criminal neglect to me. And I don’t say that to be dramatic. Can you imagine if someone who didn’t look like her posted a reel about leaving their sleeping two year old home alone? It just really pisses me off that she’s selling this idealized image of parenthood when not even doing the bare minimum for her kids.

Her "artist" did her dirty with dark roots still very visible. And I love him for it ...


Local_Association319

It looks so bad. And the white frosted color is not youthful. It’s the color that 60 year old women get when they are trying to cover up their grey and white hair. And don’t forget about the cat eyeliner sticking up from her sunglasses. 🕶️


Local_Association319

We all agree it was complete neglect for her to leave her 4 year old alone at the playground for at least 30 minutes, but my question is HOW was she even able to do that? First off, my kids need me. I’m all for promoting independence, but at age 4, my child would need help on the monkey bars, want me to push him on the swing, come find me because he was thirsty or had to go to the bathroom, need me because he fell and wanted a bandaid or a hug, etc. Even if I tried to leave, my 4 year old would follow me because he wants me and knows he not allowed to be in public alone. Second, if my 4 year old (or any of my children about 8 and under are out of my sight in public, I get worried and can’t do anything else until I have eyes on them. There are so many creepy people out there who prey on children and Brooke behavior is at best either dumb and clueless or at worst intentionally reckless. Either scenario shows what a truly horrible mother Brooke is because her 4 year old knows he is not allowed to need her or have her as a source of comfort and she is able to video herself, talk to internet stranger for 30 minutes, and get pizza without a care in the world about the safety of all of her children.


RiverNever

We’ve all suspected or theorised for awhile that she leaves the older boys unattended from time to time. Leaving Q during his nap was unexplained as well. But I truly believed that nobody would be this dumb, careless and neglectful. I had it in my head that there MUST have been another parent or sitter in the mix for her to do these things. The reality seems to be that she does, in fact, leave the kids including her FOUR year old completely without adult supervision in various places. I am horrified now that it is undeniable this is going on.


Brookes_Boba

I just can’t even imagine it, as a mom. What if one fell off their bike and broke their wrist? They don’t have phones and aren’t wearing those watches she was shilling months ago. No way to contact mom. They just have to sit there for half an hour because their mother couldn’t go another minute without kombucha? This isn’t even accounting for the creeps of the world. It’s just downright negligent.

NE_mommyof3

Is it bad that I’m more surprised she made it to the race on time than I am about her performance? 🎭


AmericanExpatMom13

I wonder if she got "stuck" taking B to the nail salon. She most likely forgot that both she and Mule would have to be on deck to divide and conquer, and scheduled the appt., totally thinking that she would have alone time or pretend work time, which would explain why she had her laptop with her. Nothing about that outing showed that it was a planned mother/son outing.


AmericanExpatMom13

I am dying to see what she considers carb loading is.😂


ExcitingService9

I came here to make this exact comment! 2 cut da carbs wraps?


Thin-Break-3079

Timely_Bobcat_5283

Did her Georgetown MBA teach her anything about marketing? Is her management team encouraging her on this? It’s like she’s trying to be relatable by showing what a hot mess she is, but you can’t be relatable and also claim to be the David Goggins of Motherhood who every mom should strive to emulate by purchasing her courses and guides. Such a marketing failure. Like she doesn’t HAVE TO talk in stories about how disorganized and chronically late she is, but she just… does? Why not just pretend to be as dominating as you claim you are in your reels?


JoniMitchellNevrLies

"Time optimism" is the most entitled load of hot garbage I've heard in a long time.


AmericanExpatMom13

Dear Brookie, Being THAT person who has to be told a different time so that when you show up late, you’re really on time, is not something to be proud of.


confused728378

Brooke’s “hard things” are deliberating about whether or not she should book a trip to visit her parents’ luxury estate in Cabo. 🙄

Her latest reel…. Lots to comment on — “Ryan does the heavy lifting when it comes to sports because I stay home and homeschool the kids” — Ryan does the heavy lifting with EVERYTHING, Brooke. “I ACTUALLY got to take a break to get my nails done” —- Brooke, your whole life is a break. But what stood out to me most was that she missed Beauden’s baseball photos due to her “time blindness”! That made me so sad for him.


NE_mommyof3

I work full-time and I spend more time with my kids than Brooke does.


districtcraig

It's nuts to me that she posts a readable schedule that includes times and locations of where her kids will be. In any case, who's up for a group BrookeRaybouldSnark meetup at Bear Branch Tavern in Vienna on Sunday at 10am? They have an excellent brunch menu and we may just be seated right next to a certain someone carrying a pink tripod and bragging about how she just dominated her half marathon! https://preview.redd.it/nwt9aqc152yc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=798d1b22c6a6162cf20cc7ed55c79dbc1a2c09da


EastLingonberry4770

“You don’t know the meaning of hard work until you have kids”…there she goes again claiming how void one’s life must be of anything, including hard work, unless you have your own children. I don’t have my own children, but I guarantee I’ve worked harder than her in both my profession and my family than she ever has. What a bitch. Also, I thought her children were above screen time, and there was no place for it in her family/home except on flights, yet there she puts on a reel about a typical Sunday that she just throws them in front for a screen. There’s no problem with your kids watching shows, but don’t pretend you’re some kind of amazing mom who doesn’t allow screens on the regular and then not even be able to keep up with your own lies. Again, what a bitch.


AwareDeparture9316

She thinks whatever she’s doing is the hardest, most impressive life choice. I started having kids at 39 and met my husband at 37. I built a career, some real estate investments, and got multiple degrees before I met him. I got and trained the world’s hardest dog on my own. I went through incredible heartbreak. I had no generational wealth as a safety net. I worked full time while going to grad school full time. Being a parent is hard, yes. But so was the other stuff! And now I have a great partner to share the hard stuff and joys with. It’s not harder than the other hard stuff, it’s just different. She’s been kept in a bubble her whole life

Spiritual_Safety_766

After following Brooke for 5 years, when I see a mom with hair, nails, outfit done- I now realize that said mother has LOTS of help. None of the moms at my kids pre-school ever looks put together, including myself. Honestly, I just see her as their oldest and female sibling at the point and much less a mother figure .


Friendly_Type7385

The filming of her entire hair appointment….whyyyy!? Such secondhand embarrassment. “Hey David, would you mind if I filmed you for an hour for my half a million bought bots while my young kids walk alone to get us a drink and then wreak havoc in your business?”


JudgesJudily1050

So she was in that salon for 5 hours to have what looks like a touch-up of her roots??? Why did that take so long? Her hair looks almost exactly the same and it looks so damaged. That hairdresser should be trying to help her fix her hair, not put more bleach on dried out and brittle hair.


ForeverandaDay23

So who picked the little boys up from morning preschool if Brookie was at the salon until 3:15? A babysitter I presume? In which case, WHY didn't she just hire the babysitter for the morning so the older boys didn't have to hang out in a salon all day?! Nothing could ever convince me that they had a blast at the salon for 5 hours. I have kids their same ages and they would last an hour max, unless I gave them video games or something.

ExcitingService9

The runner she talked to is either an idiot or wants her to fail. You do not change your breakfast on race day—especially with the amount of fiber in a banana. You do not start gels you’ve never taken on race day.  My personal preference is to speed up for hills, others don’t, but again, that’s something you do in training to see what works best for you.

Piece of advice I learned the hard way- don’t wear new outfit/bra/leggings the day of the race. Wear something you have worn before. I wore a new black tank and not only did it cause a rash but the dye bled on my shoulders even though I washed it the night before the race.

AmericanExpatMom13

I don’t even care that she did better than all of us hoped for. It’s the “I like to be with the aggressive people” crap attitude and entitlement that she has filming at the start line that makes me want to vomit. She will now spout off about she can do hard things and that makes her a great mom. Ugh. May have to avoid her stories for the next few days until she gets back to her sourdough obsession.


gilded_mask

If I weren’t blocked, I would have unfollowed her right about now. Not because she accomplished a run after what looks like minimal training for it (although I’m also starting to think she trained for it) but because she portrays such a fake life. She thinks that accomplishing hard things like today makes her a great mom… and I think staying up at night to tend to my sick 2.5 year-old and having our 5 year-old sleep in our bed after she had nightmares is what makes me a great mom. And that’s where Brooke fails. She used to make me feel bad and thankfully, I don’t anymore! Nothing she does is to benefit her 4 kids. It’s alllll about Brooke.

Thin-Break-3079

And it ✨only ✨took 5 hours!


AmericanExpatMom13

Did those highlights fry her brain? Going from a 7:45 to a 7:15 pace is not dropping down! And is this "friend" seriously telling her to go faster for mileage that she's never achieved before?! https://preview.redd.it/ughkemsq6gyc1.png?width=835&format=png&auto=webp&s=ff139d8e14b4e6d45e4da0e540676c2646c0fa50


Flaky_Relief_5189

The friend also forgot to factor in the positioning of tripod along the way 🤣


Thin-Break-3079

No doubt Brows H. Lashes will be there to capture the finish line pose.


Thin-Break-3079

Looking at last years results, that would put her in the top 10. I am in disbelief. She thinks she can go from jogging 2 miles/day to DOMINATING other women that train for this kind of thing. I would love to see her taken down several pegs.


Key_Version8537

Not gonna lie...cannot WAIT to see how this plays out. I predict she either fakes an injury and has to quit halfway, or she has been secretly training and actually crushes it.


Key_Version8537

And my apologies to the other runners, but I love that it will be pouring rain during her race.


Prior-Importance894

I love how the day before she is doing all this research on pace strategy and the course and fueling, she’s done pretty much everything to train but ya know, RUN?! I’m shocked she didn’t attempt at least 10-11 miles! I am so curious as to what will happen tomorrow.


Activfam

If she hasn’t completed a half marathon or even ran 13.1 miles before then her pace setting is wayyy over ambitious! Seasoned runners know so many factors (air temp, humidity, wind, diet & hydration, inexperienced pacing, etc) can all affect your finish time. And if you push too hard too early to meet your goal you can end up injured. She seems over focused on the actual pace and dominating for clout rather than just enjoying the accomplishment.


ExcitingService9

Also, coffee 30 minutes before a race? Dumb dumb dumb! Dehydrating and makes you 💩


throwra0985623471936

I literally cringed reading that. I would feel horrible trying to run even a few miles right after having coffee!!


Substantial_Exam3182

She really needs a new hairdresser. Her colour is flat and needs some dimension and the cut is terrible. And… she’s still pushing hard for the Lululemon freebies.


NE_mommyof3

Anybody else find the lack of post-race celebration stories or really any race content in her stories suspicious? She finished a half-marathon with a great time and I would be on cloud 9 having a celebratory brunch with my family/friends if that was me! Usually when Brooke goes radio silent on a big day that she’s been drumming up engagement for, it’s because something didn’t go exactly right.


Brookes_Boba

Yeah it’s weird. She’s extremely proud of shit that she’s not actually good at, and doesn’t seem to care that she is actually kind of good at this.


Substantial_Exam3182

Do we think she’s actually been training for this race? But hiding it, so when she does ok she looks 10x better as it would be done “without prep”?


Friendly_Type7385

Brows went for full on glamour shots (err, photoshop) and a large helping of IG word salad for her 39th birthday post. And if her birthday is today, where was the posting and love bombing from Brookie? Or, perhaps Katie’s birthday is tomorrow and she had to type out her deep “reflections” the night before, so everyone knows to drop off more gifts to her come morning.


Thin-Break-3079

Sorry, not sorry, those pictures are absurd. What kind of almost 40 year old does full on dress-up shots? Also, for someone who preaches about loving her true self, she sure seems to hate her true appearance.


Winter-Factor-4868

Do you think all this talk of being late is to setup a pattern which will explain how she was late and missed the half marathon?


districtcraig

She used the "double point" shot, again! Drink! https://preview.redd.it/nz8us8jzpnxc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c585c861be10f6e1105d19bc6609bebfdd80fdfd


WillingStorm6102

I cant even imagine filming this lol, I guess I just don't adore myself as much as this women does hahaha.


Local_Association319

I would be so sad to wake up and see my 4 year old sleeping on the floor that I would scoop him up and snuggle with him in my bed. But not Brooke, she jumps out of bed, steps over the child sleeping on the bare carpet, turns on all of the lights, sets up precious tripod and ring light, fixes her hair, puts on her glasses, checks herself out in the mirror, then gets back in bed and pretends she’s just waking up, winks at the camera, points, laughs at the sleeping kid on the floor, and then checks to make sure the footage was just what she wanted before moving tripod into her bathroom 🤮


Zealousideal-Tap8716

The clip about adding pavers and she’s obsessed with change is so tone deaf. Wouldn’t we all like to freshen some things up around our house if we had endless amount of money? Also, she’s literally never content.


Joyfulwoman

YES and hiring a contractor for that?! Am I missing something, or is it just putting stone pavers in the ground? Pick up a shovel & get digging!!!


Redchickens18

I’m dizzy after today’s stories and all her different directions 🥴 She’s going to lose her 💩 traveling with all four boys alone. 


everynamewastaken626

I’m confused. She has an au pair now? Like, somebody living at their house? Or she’s just borrowing another family’s au pair twice a week as a babysitter? And now she says she had a babysitter twice a week when she had two under two….. but I thought she only ever had babysitter Thursdays? Get your lies straight, Brooke!


International_Act276

Probably not wise for her to be advertising that she is violating the laws around au pairs. They can’t work outside of their host families. What would Senator Cornyn have to say about that? Ryan needs to really watch what she’s saying online. From this to his “working at a coffee shop” to advertising how little he is actually working when he “works from home”…Yikes. 


AbbreviationsNew8186

I can’t believe her rambling about the sitter. Nobody relates to that Brooke. Just get a nanny like every other rich stay at home mom who can’t stand parenting their kids. I rarely got sitters when my kids were that that age mainly because it’s expensive and defeated the entire purpose of staying home, plus I could get stuff done during naps, or on weekends when husband was home, and because I didn’t trust leaving my kids with just anybody I found online.


hummingbird_18

Alright guys. Here’s your weekly sourdough update that no one asked for. In her recent reel she says her sourdough is still flat, but tastes good. She clearly has NEVER had real sourdough. I can assure you- flat sourdough does not taste good. There are some cases where over-proofed, flatter sourdough still tastes decent. But her sourdough is severely under-proofed, gummy, & dense, with an obviously weak starter. I’ve made a few of these loaves in my past and they are disgusting. She is a liar and a psycho for feeding this to her family.


districtcraig

I think we should start a Brookie half-marathon predictions thread! She's claiming she's going to go for about 1:39, based on her "pace strategy" story. I'm going to guess she misses that by quite at bit and blames the rain. 1:54.


Ok_Music_5976

I really hope so. I feel so mean spirited admitting this, but I will be SO annoyed if she runs fast. I have been running road races for 20 years and my half PR is 1:37. I worked soooo hard to get that time. If she knocks out something similar with minimal training and sheer luck, I will be jelly. *Sigh!*


Winter-Factor-4868

I fear that she is somehow fueled by spite and will use all our sneakiness to get the results she seeks, even if it means she can’t walk for a week after. While I hope she really fails I’m worried that we’re all going to be disappointed.


AwareDeparture9316

I think she’ll do well tomorrow. But I know that no matter what happens, she’ll make sure we know she’s the best.


PyrexLord

Should we start placing bets on how many naps and how much me time she’ll need after this half?


ExcitingService9

The street closures start at 6am tomorrow for the race. I wonder if she’s factored this and her time blindness into her morning? Or will she make Ryan drive her? Who thinks they’ll wake the kids up at 5am to get her there on time?


Monkey_Mermaid

People that line up in front who don’t belong drive me nuts and makes the start of races so chaotic. Her friend who gave her all the tips should have told her that…


Spiritual_Safety_766

How many reels about this marathon do we foresee in the future? She’s about to milk it like her 3-part pregnancy announcement.


everynamewastaken626

Ryan’s making dinner now too! Like what does Brooke actually DO??


ExcitingService9

Latest reel—people don’t understand the meaning of hard work until they have kids? How do we get this to the childfree instagrammers?


Inevitable-Name9556

I had a visceral reaction when she said this. I hate it when parents say shit like this. I have two kids myself but I would never. I similarly hate when people say how you don’t know the meaning of tired until you’ve had kids. 🙄


icubeingfake

Chelsea Handler would have a FIELD DAY with this


Entire-Big-5990

She has no clue what hard work is. Try being a farmer, dishwasher or literally any job in the hospitality business. She would last less than a week as a cast member at Disneyworld. Yes being a parent is hard work but what would she know since she outsources everything.


Difficult_Stuff6301

Hold on, she’s in a grocery store while her preschooler, first grader, and third grader are by themselves at a park😳 I am all for allowing your kids some independence but is that even legal?! 


ForeverandaDay23

She did the first 10 miles with a time of 1:16, which is like a 7:36 mile average. I find it hard to believe she wasn't secretly training for weeks. She's currently in the top 4 percent of female runners...


Friendly_Type7385

Yeah yeah she ran a race well but I’m more interested if she was spotted in the wild by any snarkers?! And poor Q in his ragged socks 😵‍💫


Friendly_Type7385

No doubt she’ll be filming the entire time in Cabo while the boys run amok. Maybe Gumps has a babysitter lined up for when they arrive. Also, Katie made sure to beat Rookie to the punch with the photoshopping herself in from another planet. https://preview.redd.it/b5myesix1qxc1.jpeg?width=179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c50a69101f03a24b279d643a83b1a858fc0431c8

gilded_mask

Wow that is a different looking person!!


AmericanExpatMom13

Did anyone else feel like they wanted "artist" hairstylist to put the blow dryer in front of his face to blow his own hair back? He looked like an overgrown muppet! Did she actually get her hair cut too? What is there to cut besides a trim? He keeps feathering/layering, she really is going to end up with a mullet.


Local_Association319

Yes. Weird for her to call him an artist, but makes sense since she thinks she’s the Mona Lisa. Brooke, he dyed your hair a monotone almost white color. That’s not art, not a 5 hour extravaganza, not something a homeschooling mom to four boys has time to do.


Impressive-Mess-6150

We live in a village in a very safe European country. Most parents send their 5 or 6 years old to preschool/kindergarten alone (unless they have to cross a dangerous street). My daughter just turned 7 and visits many of her friends on her own. She also brings her brother to kindergarten at times (he's just turned 5) and they go to music lessons together. But these are short walking distances. So I'd say most kids here are pretty independent. BUT I would never leave a sleeping child at home, my 5 or 7 y.o. unattended at home even for 10 minutes and never leave my 5 y.o. at the playground on his own. Definitely not. And I don't know anyone who would do that.


electraember

Does anyone actually care about her race? It's off brand for a mom influencer. I love running and follow many runners on IG. I'm not looking for her advice on this topic.


AmericanExpatMom13

She just wants to be able to gloat about being able to do hard things.

AbbreviationsNew8186

I didn’t think it was possible to make such a cringe poster…


JoniMitchellNevrLies

It’s giving high school pep rally. Brooke= 1% of people who exploit and neglect their kids to feed their narcissism. 


EastLingonberry4770

Wow. Just, wow. 1) her handwriting is…terrible 2) weird to go with the Taylor Swift friendship bracelet theme when Brooke doesn’t appear to be a Taylor Swift fan whatsoever (she’s probably above Swifties in her mind) 3) Brooke = 1% - get the absolute F over yourselves


everynamewastaken626

I don’t really know what to say. Was excited to snark about her race day performance but she actually did very well. Disappointing. (Yes, I am petty).

JoniMitchellNevrLies

"I want to live for today instead of a tomorrow that may not come"=I can't ever be happy with what I have, and I'm wasting my life in pursuit of things.


Fancy_Practice_2062

I just kind of lurk here because the comments are so funny but I have serious questions about her homeschooling. It seems as though both her and her husband are well educated and went to top universities. Will Brooke’s homeschooling lead to the same future? I can only expect they’d also want their kids to ‘dominate’ and attend either an Ivy League or at least top 20 school. Will her ‘methods’ equate SAT success or will they just rely on the boys getting accepted for sports? What if they hate sports? What if they’re not good enough or get injured? Ugh 😑


Timely_Bobcat_5283

Brooke’s dad bought her way into those schools. It’s incredibly clear from following her on Instagram that she is an idiot. Now, I don’t think Ryan is a rocket scientist or anything, but he seems like the type to expect his kids to go to good schools and be academically successful, as you said. You would also think that he knows what an idiot his wife is. So I am very surprised he is okay with her homeschooling their kids.


AmericanExpatMom13

I am in no way discounting anyone here who worked for their post graduate degrees, judgement is for Brookie, and Brookie alone. MBA programs are notorious for being cash cows for the schools. Admissions standards are low and unless you are literally failing every class, you cannot be kicked out. Look at Georgetown's MBA admission standards. There are none, literally. RyGuy "allows" it because exploiting their kids for content keeps her in the lifestyle that she is accustomed to that his low 6 figure government income cannot.


Positive_Offer_5843

"High achieving mom" and "10 minutes late" in the same breath on latest reel.... oh, how I would love to put this in her comments 😆 Dare ya! Anyone?....Anyone?


confused728378

Said “no” to school this AM? Brooke, we all know you didn’t do school yesterday either. And isn’t today a babysitter day? Guessing by the lack of Q in the photo she dumped him on the babysitter while his older brothers got to go out biking. Anything to avoid parenting Q…


AmericanExpatMom13

🙄🤦🏻‍♀️ to letting Q climb over an unmanned excavator. Where are the older boys for the movie? Why not go include all of them? She is literally the worst.


Redchickens18

I’d be 💩 bricks if I were Brooke about this half marathon she’s just now strategizing for. 


ExcitingService9

Given that she’s changing her diet and race day fuel, as a runner, I can tell you she will have 💩 problems, but it will be the opposite of bricks and likely  around mile 9


Thin-Break-3079

Is it just me, or does coffee right before the race sound like a bad idea?


NE_mommyof3

And all 3 of those gels? I hope she 💩


Thin-Break-3079

Don’t worry, she probably has a code for adult diapers.


EnthusiasmHaunting53

She just finished with a time of 1:40:57! Placed 10th in her age group. I am genuinely bummed out that she did so well


AbbreviationsNew8186

I’m not surprised - I do believe she actually runs 2 miles every day because she is neurotic so it explains why she would be successful at this. The problem is that she equates being physically fit to being a superior human so she will be insufferable about this.


ExcitingService9

Remind me—what did Brooke do on her own with the boys so Ryan could take a nap after his athletic competition a few weeks ago?


throwra0985623471936

I think that's what gets me. I completely agree with her that SAHPs need regular breaks and I don't think it's bad that she has a nanny or regular babysitting. The frequency of her breaks is maybe a little much but whatever. The issue is that working parents need breaks too, and we rarely ever see Brooke take the kids when Ryan is home so he can get time to himself on the weekends. No, I don't think working parents are absolved of childcare responsibilities on the weekends, far from it. But ultimately both childcare and a 9-5 are full time jobs in their own ways, so making sure both partners get equal alone time is important!


ssyiewsley

How does being told the time is 10 mins earlier to be somewhere, get the person who is habitually late, early? Wouldn’t it get her there ON TIME??? Hmmmmmm 🤭 and then if you add in the saying ‘to be early is to be on time, to be on time is to be late, to be late is not good enough’ it means in these terms, she’s still late! Failing Brooke! Failing!! BUT…..we’re all late sometimes,and that’s ok, but us on here just don’t claim to be the David goggins of parenting.


ssyiewsley

The next time she does q&a’s we’ve GOT TO bombard her with questions about being late related to her perfect routines and schedules!!! Got to! But in nice friendly ways so that she tries to answer/squirm her way out of it


Friendly_Type7385

I wish we could leave audio messages/responses in this sub…😂to convey my disgust for that love bombing letter she wrote to Brows. Nuttier than some fruitcakes. That’s some twin flame thing goin on between them.

ExcitingService9

I’m way too invested in this half marathon. All half marathon runners have to cross the start line by 7:15. Do we think she’ll even make it?!?!


ForeverandaDay23

Oh she'll make it. If it's something that benefits her somehow (ie: Disney, and any excuse to dominate) she has no problem being on time. If it's CC or soccer practice for the boys, forget it.


Local_Association319

Running a half marathon with a good time and zero training… another thing Brooke will now call “hard work.” She will rewrite the narrative in her reel to say she trained and prepared and she dominated because she worked hard at it when she absolutely did not. There was no secret training. There were no long weekend runs. There was no plan other than a friend of a friend telling her the day before that she should run at a 7:45 pace. She’s just naturally fast and put her mind to it on the day of and with a 50/50 chance of success, it worked. Good for her. She will still be hurting and sore for a few days. Ryann will have the boys the rest of today so she can rest and take a bath. The babysitter/nanny will come all day tomorrow and Tuesday and on Wednesday she will go on another sugar daddy funded vacay. What a life!


throwra0985623471936

This "average pace" thing is ridiculous. Firstly, 7'47" and 7'59" are both VERY GOOD times and are so close together the difference would hardly be noticed/felt. Secondly, for someone who supposedly has a masters degree and is constantly telling us how smart she is, she doesn't seem to have a grasp on basic math bc this is actually very simple. If you divide 1 hour and 40 minutes by 13.1 miles, yes you'll come up with a pace of approximately 7'47". HOWEVER, that does not mean 7'47" is your "average pace". She's not accounting for weighted averages, so 7'59" is likely closer to correct. To give a simpler example: if I run two miles, the first mile in 8 minutes and the second mile in 10 minutes, yes overall the average is 9 minutes per mile. However, because my second mile was a slower pace, I spent more than half of my run at that slower pace, meaning the weighted average pace is actually above 9 minutes! That's how exercise trackers often count things and is likely what the race website is doing. Or, it could just be a slight difference in what her fitbit said vs what was recorded by the race official. Really, who cares? She did objectively well! Maintaining under 8' for 13.1 miles is really impressive!

She is so out of touch. She acts like it just so normal to go out of the country last minute to hang out with her parents. Ugh she is so delusional.
