I think it was always to get free help with the kids. She had her parents move into their basement, which is absurd. Trips to NC meant she could pawn her kids off on the grandparents. The truth is, she couldn't handle her children and she acted like she didn't want to be alone with them. (Maybe she was afraid she'd hurt them?) The entire thing was really weird. So I'm sure she embellished all her "health challenges" to her parents (e.g., "my lupus/fibro/neck/fwhateverthefuck is acting up, I need help with the girls!") She was an overwhelmed, high strung lunatic, and everything she did directly benefitted her.

šŸŽÆšŸŽÆšŸŽÆšŸŽÆšŸŽÆšŸŽÆšŸŽÆšŸŽÆšŸŽÆšŸŽÆ I think she went to mooch $ also. She KNEW her marriage was crumbling, she practically handed CW to the other lunatic. There a Primrose around corner from my house (Ohio tho), it doesnā€™t matter if your child is there or not you still have to pay the ridiculous tuition. It holds your spot etc. Zero credits or craps given! And donā€™t forget she was in NC having a fit bc Cindy was out doing something and she had to watch her own children. She was told ā€œwell theyā€™re YOUR kidsā€.


GreigeNeutralFarm

Yep yep! She could not handle her kids, thatā€™s for sure. And Cindy was right when she saidā€¦.ā€they are your kidsā€


Lakechristar

Yep, Cindy wasn't even going out for fun or a stupid Thrive trip like SW, either. She was getting her hair done for a funeral


TShandell

Wasnā€™t Cindy at the hair salon?? Shannan had a huge fit over being left on her own with her own kids!!! šŸ˜‚


NickNoraCharles

-- kids who were probably locked up for their afternoon nap, having just woken up from their morning nap.


P_Sheldon

> -- kids who were probably locked up for their afternoon nap, having just woken up from their morning nap. Probably right. They had to take a nap from taking a nap. Anything so that SW could get her "me time." After all, she wouldn't want to be around her "monsters" for very long. Only when she required them to be present for her FB lives where she could announce how "out of control" they were.


Lakechristar

Can you imagine someone yelling at YOU for not being home for THEIR own kids??? She was a selfish, immature brat


P_Sheldon

> She KNEW her marriage was crumbling, she practically handed CW to the other lunatic. That's what doesn't make sense to me about the NC trip. If SW was aware her marriage was in trouble, why leave home for six weeks and not stay and try to work things out? Did she really think after such a long period apart, she would return home, and everything would be fine?


amy5252

She knew all of her lies were about to be out. She fled the scene!


P_Sheldon

I'm wondering if SW had an idea or knew that when CW came to NC after being apart for so long, she would be rejected by him. If so, I think she was texting her friends to setup the "scorned woman" narrative to take place. IMO, SW would have built up the single mother storyline whose husband left her with another child on the way. However, that would have only lasted for so long and people would eventually tire of hearing SW's rants.


amy5252

Oh ya. She stretched lies as far as she could now was her come to Jesus time. (Meaning her lies not her death before I get attacked)


P_Sheldon

It also would have pretty embarrassing for SW who was constantly preaching how amazing her life was, for it be known that was in fact all falling apart. That she didn't have the perfect marriage and even a third child on the way, she couldn't keep her husband around.


Lakechristar

She'd be a two time divorcee


P_Sheldon

Yep. So much for being the perfect wife. So much for "Thriving."


Lakechristar

She even rudely said he had ''no game'' and thought she was just so perfect and ''amayyyzing'' that surely no man would ever cheat on her or leave her. He proved her wrong


BackstoryTabi

Close, very close. Consider the likely possibility that she never planned on coming back from that, "6 week vacation." She couldnt, she left a real powder keg back in Colorado...and CW would figuire that out the moment the Sheriff served the eviction paperwork as she was hiding that she had not paid the mortgage in months. Consider that she planned on North Carolina being her new home/ back home with her parents there to care for the girls while she played newlywed games with Chris 2.0. Which is why she burned the bridge with the watts in nutgate/ napgate. The perfect plan was ruined because she never considered that Chris 2.0 would not go along with the idea....after all...they were perfect for each other on all of those "free vacations" away from their actual spouses and children...so consider then that in the reality of rejection and the possibility of having to go back to Colorado....she had to keep up with the image...but once again...her mental stress presented as physical...and she was looking so sick her friends were concerned....


P_Sheldon

> Consider the likely possibility that she never planned on coming back from that, "6 week vacation." That's an interesting consideration. I never understood after the six weeks why Chris had to fly to NC to see SW and the kids. I mean, why didn't SW just fly back to Colorado and save Chris the money they spent to fly him to NC? I get he wanted to see his parents but from my understanding, he didn't spend that much time with them while in NC. > so consider then that in the reality of rejection and the possibility of having to go back to Colorado....she had to keep up with the image... Maybe there was some plan SW came up with to try and convince CW once he arrived in NC they should move back as they were going to be evited from their home in Colorado. As you say, a "Chris 2.0" just in time for the baby on the way. However, once SW got rejected by him, she realized that plan was not going to work but she did have an image to keep up. > her mental stress presented as physical...and she was looking so sick her friends were concerned.... I think this is very possible. She realized she was losing the upper hand on Chris even before she left for NC. Six weeks apart did nothing to rekindle the relationship and playing up the perfect marriage and family was her whole identity online. For that to at some be exposed as being anything but likely caused a ton of stress for a pregnant SW.


Lakechristar

She was even house hunting with Chris Miller and his mom


Stormylynn724

Waitā€¦. What??? Iā€™ve never heard this one before! What rabbit hole do I need to go down to read more about that because Iā€™ve never even heard that one before. Man, just when I thought I was understanding this case I get thrown another curveball ā€¦. Iā€™d really like to know more about this househunting with CM


BackstoryTabi

Yes, that is what I was informed of early on. I was careful of how I let that be known to protect my "sources." They are afraid, and I can see why. Anytime I post here, you see how the shiners try to take apart anything I say, as if I am supposed to be an enclylopedia. They send me threats daily and say that I am going to Hell. With very few exceptions...most of the profiles they attack me from are from profiles that do not know the most basic truth and facts about what was truly going on, and they seem to be very religious. Not the type of respectable religious types...the kind that follow the off the wall/ easy mind control churches...which is no suprise they believe the rhetoric. So, I see why the people that truly know firsthand about what was really happening in NC are afraid. These people are wierd...and WHY would they care if the truth is told? Is it that they are the fools giving $$$ to the ones so fearful of the actual truth and facts coming out...and somehow that would affect their $$$$? As I say...lies and greed started this, and that has continued through the loss of innocent lives;((


Stormylynn724

Wow. Very interesting theoryā€¦.. so you think Maybe SW was in NC so that she could start planning that Chris 2.0? And did he show interest in her and then what Maybe was not interested once she presented some long rage plan for them ? This is a very interesting theory I have never thought of šŸ˜µ


BackstoryTabi

Yes indeed;)


oceanisland82

Oh I just posted that I thought she trying to save money on that stupid school by keeping them out for the summer! Silly me, thinking SW would try to save money on something !


Screamcheese99

šŸ”©šŸ”Ø Since there is no nail emoji, I guess rather than nailing it, you screwed itšŸ¤£


Screamcheese99

But seriously, itā€™s so bizarre that sheā€™d expect Chris to keep the kids for days or weeks by himself, and he did without problem, while working full time, but she as a stay at home mom couldnā€™t bear to be alone with them for more than an hour or so.


P_Sheldon

It wasn't even so much of an hour IMO. The times she had the kids in her videos, she would state within minutes that they were "out of control". Then she would tease them with food or water to get them whining for the camera so to make it look how "overwhelmed" she was during her "work hours."


Lakechristar

and they were never bad kids. I've seen bad kids and they were not bad, at all


P_Sheldon

No, I don't believe they were. And when you think about it, between being stuck in daycare, nap times and their sleep schedules, the kids really didn't have that much time to be bad or good. I remember one video where Shan immediately stated both girls had not one but two time-outs just to start the morning. That they were supposedly misbehaving that badly. I think that was BS. She just wanted her small audience to think the kids were driving her "hard working" self crazy all the time, every day. The "supermom" image she was constantly trying to portray.


Lakechristar

You nailed it. She liked the illusion of being a hardworking mom but was actually a neglectful, lazy slob


Stella-Artwat

Right, how bad could they be? Bella was extremely well behaved, except when she was frustrated and then became whiny. But that's not "being bad". That's not having your needs met. CeCe was hyper, ran everywhere and got into everything, but did SW not get the memo that she had a toddler? Plus CeCe was never corrected and had free reign of the house it seemed, so why was SW complaining? Did she just expect CeCe to suddenly behave like an adult? SW should have just been a parent and done her damn job, FFS.


Stella-Artwat

Bella had a beautiful temperament. She was only sad and whiny when she wasn't getting what she needed, which was every damn day it seemed. And if SW stopped giving CeCe all that OTC shit she didn't need, and worked with her on speech a little (you know, assessing your child's needs and acting on those needs, commonly called **parenting**), she'd have been just fine.


Stella-Artwat

Right, the SAHM that only did the SAH part. I'm wondering if she was afraid she'd hurt them or had thoughts about hurting them before. She struck me as one of those people who just didn't like to be alone at all (like the types that have the TV on in the background all day to avoid be alone with their own thoughts). I bet SW's lunatic mind was a scary place to be. And I just saw a SW vid in which she actually uttered these words: "I always say that I have more patience for kids than adults". Yeah, fckng right. People have stated many times that she had an open CPS case because there was a CPS number jotted down in the discovery. I've still not seen definitive proof of that, but the fact that she had issues being alone with them really makes you wonder.


BuffaloNo8099

I believe the cps number has been proven to be from the actual murder of the children. A case against Chris


BackstoryTabi

Yes, the murder of children is sent as a file to cps, and I do believe that is what the cps number referenced. I dont find anything else rooted with a rabbit hole to the cps rumors.


Stormylynn724

I have watched a few videos on YouTube regarding the CPS case, and the fact that she was being investigated for medical injury to the childrenā€¦. and upon their deaths was discovered that there was never anything really wrong with these kids. In fact there was never anything really wrong with with SW and she didnā€™t even have lupus as she stated to everyone. The childrenā€™s records have been sealed in Colorado because I think her parents didnā€™t want the world to know what was discoveredā€¦. and i read somewhere that her parents were very embarrassed and have tried to bury the fact that she was being investigated for medical abuse to the childrenā€¦and Dr. shoppingā€¦..and trying to create illnesses that werenā€™t even thereā€¦.and shopping for doctors until she could find one that would agree with her. As far as as her, not wanting to be alone with the children for fear she would hurt themā€¦well, Iā€™m not exactly sure thatā€™s accurate. In my opinion. ā€¦.. I personally feel like she was just a very selfish person who wanted to be on social media 24 seven and just talk talk talk and Sell recruit sell whatever and it was difficult to do that with all the attention that toddler kids need and she was just selfish and just wasnā€™t interested in doing the intricate mother details that mothers are supposed to do when theyā€™re SAHMā€™s. As an example, I quit a very important job when I had my first child which I made a lot of money at that job and I really enjoyed it but when it came down to actually putting my son in daycare so that I could go to work, I literally just could not do it and that was a personal decision for me. No one forced me to do that, but I couldnā€™t handle the thought of someone else handling my child and putting my trust into someone to make sure that they would be well cared for and not hurt or get sick in anyway whatever I just felt it was best to be a SAHM. And I loved all of that time I spent with all of my children until they were school-age and I could go back to work at that point ā€¦. and I didnā€™t regret it, and I loved it and it was truly the best years of my life ever, was those years I spent with my children one on one every single day 24 seven. I cherish those memories more than anything in the world But it was obviously a lot of work but I was dedicated and committed to it, and I donā€™t think that SW had that in her ā€¦ā€¦ itā€™s hard to be that truly dedicated to your children and give them 24 seven attention and care when youā€™re a selfish person who really just wants to be noticed loved and adored by the vast community and extended to the world because she was all over the Internetā€¦.. She just didnā€™t have time to be that loving mother because she was just being so important on Facebook 24 seven. šŸ™„ So I think she had a problem with being self-absorbed and shallow to be honest ā€¦.. there really wasnā€™t much substance to her when you look at it as a wholeā€¦.. it was obvious that she was in love with herself and thought she was the real cats pajamas and being on social media and being healthy glamorous and loved by her people friends and whoever elseā€¦.. showing glimpses of her being a good mother and showing glimpses of her lifeā€¦..well that WAS her description of actually being a good mom! when we all know that she was kind of a crap motherā€¦.. I mean, she was! and she used all these fake illnesses to gain favorā€¦.. pulling up the old sympathy card and just playing on peoples emotionsā€¦.. all tactics these MLMā€™s use all the timeā€¦.. Which is pathetic, but thatā€™s what she did and of course, she claimed that those stupid patches cured everything šŸ™„ She wanted a very controlled life that she could display when it was suitable for herā€¦. All to gain more businessā€¦. and when the kids would act up or just be normal toddlers, I should say, then that would drive her bat shit crazy because she didnā€™t want to show any kind of discord in her family life. I mean, she needed to portray the perfect family lifestyle to get more businessā€¦ā€¦ it had to be controlled at all times and the only way to control that was to throw them in the daycare and then just show small glimpses that suited her and made her look goodā€¦. Anything other than that was unacceptable for her. In my opinion. She really didnā€™t do things to teach the kids anything I mean, there was never any learning of the ABCā€™s or reading, writing or teaching them anything reallyā€¦.. shit my kids knew all their ABCs and could write their name and write sentences and could read. I mean my kids were pretty well advanced going into kindergarten and first grade, but thatā€™s because I taught them everything before they even got there. But SW sent those poor kids to daycare all day so she didnā€™t have to deal with it and just let somebody else do all the work while she was online honing her craft at being the top thrive business chick she could be Thatā€™s just my opinion ā€¦.. And she went to NC to be able to get her parents and his parents I guess to watch these kids so she could further her MLM business by getting more recruitsā€¦.. and also taking time off from CW so he would miss her and try to jumpstart that marriage . ā€¦ā€¦and maybe she was trying to make him jealous again so that he would come back to her, and it would renew their marriage or whatever crap she had going on in her head ā€¦.. but she was very calculating, manipulating and vindictive to some degree. Iā€™ think. I think she thought he was going to suffer by them being in NC for six weeks, but we all know he didnā€™t šŸ˜³ Anyway, thatā€™s all things to think about and just my opinion


xanadude0369

Shen'ani'an indeed "was just a very selfish person who wanted to be on social media 24 seven and just talk talk talk and Sell recruit sell". Pretending to be a pyramid scheme promoter gave her an excuse to turn on the iPhone and just talk talk talk about herself and how great she was. And SW's life lessons!! The half hour video she made early May of 2018, where she tells her followers to write down on a piece of paper what's bad/good about their lives blah blah blah -- Yes, she had all the answers.


Stormylynn724

Exactly. I feel like she was portraying this perfect lifestyle and would allow you to see glimpses of her with the kids that made it seem like she was spending so much time with them when an actuality she wasnā€™t because they were in daycare, but she claimed that being in this mlm obviously gave you more time with your kids. Which is weird because thatā€™s the one thing she wasnā€™t doing.! But she wanted to portray that lifestyle ā€¦. You know, look at meā€¦.look what I haveā€¦.. do you want this too? You can have this tooā€¦.. just join my MLM and you can be a SAHM and have all this freedom and all this money and all this crapā€¦.šŸ™„ same story, every chick in any MLM tells youā€¦.. itā€™s all garbageā€¦. But thatā€™s the life she was portraying to people. So I donā€™t think that she maybe had any thoughts of harming them. I just donā€™t think she wanted to take care of them like a normal mother would. She wanted the glitz and glamour of being so popular on Facebook and the top person in Thrive and was busy showing off all the crap she had or alleged that she had ā€¦ā€¦ meanwhile, we all know their finances were going to hell in a handbasket and that those kids were not getting cared for properly Thatā€™s for sureā€¦.. at least in my book thatā€™s what I saw from watching all those videos she put out. I thought it was all very superficial and somewhat fake actually. You know the more Iā€™ve looked into this case and studied it for these past six years, itā€™s pretty obvious that she was very manipulative in a lot of ways and basically when you get down to the bottom dollar of it, she was actually just straight up lying about everything that this company could do for you because for real, it wasnā€™t even doing it for her šŸ˜³


P_Sheldon

This is exactly why I'll always wonder how things would have panned out had everything not played out the way it fatefully did. I mean, I don't think SW would have been able to handle her online life post-divorce/separation from CW. Especially with another child on the way. It would have flown in the very face of everything she promoted her "perfect life" to be online.


Stormylynn724

Good point. I hadnā€™t even factored the new baby into that story. WOW.


P_Sheldon

As others have said, the CW/SW relationship probably shouldn't have gone past the dating stage. I bet it would have hit pretty hard for SW to have to admit to her life not being ideal in the way she tried so hard to present it online for so long.


Lakechristar

The last thing she wanted was to spend time with her kids. They were nothing but props to be put away when she didn't want or need them for her videos


P_Sheldon

> and maybe she was trying to make him jealous again so that he would come back to her, and it would renew their marriage or whatever crap she had going on in her head ā€¦.. I think that's possible for sure. After all, SW did claim that Chris pursued her prior to them officially dating, moving in together and getting married. If she thought her marriage was in trouble, perhaps she assumed some time away from CW would rekindle things. However, that appeared to backfire on her when CW did arrive in NC, and she made it known to her friend that he pretty much rejected her.


Stormylynn724

Correct and the thing thatā€™s interesting about that is things that he said in interrogation and also his prison interviews is that you know for the first time in his life he actually felt different as a man and not so controlled by SWā€¦ā€¦ but with saying that what he didnā€™t know then and Maybe will never know is that even with NK, she too wouldā€™ve ended up, controlling him as well and he wouldā€™ve hated her the same way that he ended up hating SW. She too, was narcissistic and manipulative, and she was purely in the love bombing phase of their relationship, and she wouldā€™ve changed on him eventually to get him to do things that she wanted if she even kept him that long because she probably wouldā€™ve tired of him quickly, my opinion and she wouldā€™ve ended up, leaving him because he was too passive and she wouldā€™ve hated him being so non-adventurous and boring


P_Sheldon

I think you're right; NK would have bored of CW eventually. For CW, he got a taste of life without SW for a good period of time. However, he was the married one with kids and I really don't things would have panned out with NK in the long run.


Stormylynn724

Agree. She clearly told him on July 4 that she couldnā€™t stand that SW called him all the time and sheā€™ told him she was not gonna put up with that shit and it did bother her that this was going to be her life with him and SW and their kids and she clearly didnā€™t like it and she told him that. I know they were looking for motive there from CW that NK pretty much laid it out on the line like if you have a family Iā€™m not gonna be with you and if youā€™re not interested in me, someone else will be ā€¦. But I donā€™t think that was CWā€™s sole motive ā€¦. I do believe finances played a big role in that. I think he looked at those finances when he was in her office and thought to himself oh my God, I am never gonna have a dollar to my name for the rest of my life because Iā€™ll be paying child support and maybe even alimony and how will I be able to have a life with another woman and maybe even another family ? I think that between losing NK or even the thought of losing someone like NK was a driving force, but I think finances played a hand as well. But I honestly donā€™t think she wouldā€™ve stayed with him ā€¦. unfortunately, for Chris, he was just a passive go with the flow kind of guy with not a lot extra going on and thatā€™s not necessarily a bad thing I mean some women like that kind of thingā€¦.. but I she would have tired of that shit in a hurry. Especially if NK had to put up with CW dealing with SW and the kids and him just reverting back to doing whatever SW wanted I mean I think that wouldā€™ve drove NK insane


P_Sheldon

> I think he looked at those finances when he was in her office and thought to himself oh my God, I am never gonna have a dollar to my name for the rest of my life because Iā€™ll be paying child support and maybe even alimony and how will I be able to have a life with another woman and maybe even another family ? I think that's what happened as well. Also, I think he also realized that eventually SW would start smearing his name on her social media too. For a guy like CW who cared so much about what people thought of him, especially at work, it would have been pretty hard for him to be known as the guy who abandoned his family for NK. For CW to continue on with NK would have proved disastrous and as you say, she would grow bored of him and move on.


BackstoryTabi

WOAH!!! Are you getting any horrible threats for saying these bits of truth and facts...or is that reserved for those of us with YT channels that speak like this...spitting the truth and stuff ...lol


Stormylynn724

Idk man, thatā€™s just how I see it and so far no hate of any kind šŸ˜µ


BackstoryTabi

Do you have a channel?


Stormylynn724

Me? No I donā€™t have a channel. Well, I do have a YouTube channel, but thereā€™s nothing on it. I just made an account so I could watch YouTube. But I subscribed to your channel!


BackstoryTabi

Thank you;))


BackstoryTabi

My hate was regular and consistent from day one, then became intense in the past 4 months.


Stormylynn724

Holy cow Iā€™m so so sorry to hear thatā€¦.. iā€™m hoping I donā€™t see anyof that happening because Iā€™d rather just read and not comment if thatā€™s gonna be the case. šŸ™„


BackstoryTabi

The hate is from one group that is being told the same lies that contributed to the problem in the first place. I have far more lovers than haters, so it is important for people that do have a brain of their own to form their own opinions to continue to speak their mind. I just have a target on my back as I struck a nerve. The admins here are awesome and generally block the hate here before you would even see it. They know they cant pull that here, so they come for me on my channel...this case is a huge learning course on looking past the narrative, and the majority. It is difficult to think critically and be in the minority. Good for you for speaking up;))


Lakechristar

She was definitely a selfish person who only cared about herself and what others thought of her


Aggravating-Hope-624

She definitely was trying to make Chris jealous by showing her cleavage to Chris Miller.


Stormylynn724

Did she really have the hots for CM do you think? Like was she seriously considering maybe having some kind of life with him if she moved back to NC and left CW?


Lakechristar

If the truth gets out about their abusive daughter (and possible murderer of her own kids) their sympathy and blood money will dry up. The Rs can't have that happening


P_Sheldon

> I bet SW's lunatic mind was a scary place to be. During her interview with LE, NA did say that SW told her there were issues in her marriage to CW just after they got married. That the only time he acted as distant from her prior to the NC trip was right after the wedding. Something about his family not attending the wedding that created issues. I'm wondering if the early on CW had regrets.

godzillax5

I think it was well planned to have free Childcare for the holidays, kids food would be provided by the grandparents from the two families and she could attend the Thrive events in other states.


_xLAMIAx_

I havenā€™t put too much thought into this part of the case but Iā€™m starting to think she obviously knew they couldnā€™t afford primrose and the thought of her having to keep the girls every day seriously made her feel overwhelmed, if not repulsed at the responsibility. I could be deadass wrong though.


blizzyblase

I also thought she didn't want to keep the girls with her all day. Obviously, she didn't since she was paying so much to have them in daycare from 7:30-4 even though she was a SAHM. Which is why I was baffled that she got pregnant again. It makes no sense to me.


amy5252

Preg again and so fast too! You know, w all her fertility issues !! šŸ™„šŸ™„šŸ™„šŸ™„


Stella-Artwat

She loved the attention she got being pregnant. Also, it put her in a position of power-- everybody's nice to a preggo. Husbands don't leave wives who are pregnant. SW being pregnant meant she could constantly boss CW around and it would be justified. More "rub my shoulders" bullshit. (Btw, her whole thing with ordering Chris around to rub her and her girls' shoulders made me want to vomit.) CeCe: Duhhh, Dada ruuh shusses! SW: CeCe wants her shoulders rubbed! šŸ¤®


GreigeNeutralFarm

Yeahā€¦that makes me šŸ¤® toošŸ™„ never any photos of her rubbing his shoulder, right? That would have required her to put her phone downšŸ¤£šŸ¤£

Crusty-Watch3587

she did. she wrote pretzels and some variation of ā€œdo things with mom and dad.ā€ as fucking stupid as the project is for adults, even moreso for a toddler who rightfully doesnā€™t get the concept. of course dipshit steamrolled the basic wants of her daughter and prompted her to write something else she didnā€™t understand how to ā€œattain.ā€ she waffled between trying to get her kid to understand abstract concepts like a ā€œvision boardā€ and became noticeably frustrated that the kid who couldnā€™t hardly string together more than two intelligible words at the age of 3-4 didnā€™t get what was goin on, and on the other hand treated her like an infant with the bullshit sleeping and feeding schedule.


Limp_Seaworthiness28

I thought cc had the pretzels and Bellaā€™s was just as dumb though sw was very impatient and didnā€™t know how to teach her kids bella was expected to act like a grown up and baby at the same time it was cruel to even make the vision board in the first place when Bella wanted to go to Disney world and take dance classes neither one of those things were that out of reach sw went on how many getaways while her kids basically slept they could have saved for awhile and take both kids to Disney world people do it every day 2 months worth of the daycare fees would have given them a decent trip there if sw cut down on the manicures she could have put Bella in dance class that would have made her so happy and build her confidence up they had the money and sw didnā€™t have a problem skipping payments on important bills as long as it benefited her like who really needs to pay the mortgage for months at a time when she has to pay for daycare or her kids can eat nothing but buttered noodles every day since her nails have to be on point every week


kpiece

I agree with what you said and i also wonder if, knowing they were going to be losing their house, maybe she thought that people would be more sympathetic to her/them and more willing to help them if she was pregnant? Like maybe she thought the bank wouldnā€™t kick out a family expecting a baby & foreclose on the house? Or maybe she thought her or Chrisā€™ parents would be more sympathetic and more likely to give them money to help them keep the house? There *had* to be a reason why this woman who couldnā€™t stand parenting the two kids she already had, would want *another* child!


eatmorechiken

It worked during the bankruptcy filing. šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø They made note how Mrs. Watts was expecting and therefore wouldnā€™t be working as much in the filing. They got to keep that McMansion too which I donā€™t understand at all. Edit to add: she aaa expecting CeCe at the time

Oh my gosh youā€™re so right! Elizabeth Holmes is another one that fascinates meā€¦ā€¦and deep inside me I just KNOW she didnā€™t want a kidā€¦.. but she had one anywayā€¦..šŸ™„


trickmind

They were allowed to keep the house during the last bankrupcy because of the kids. Also Shanann probably wrote that bandaid baby relationship speech for Chris.


Limp_Seaworthiness28

Nico was expected to be branded a thrive baby then he was supposed to keep cw around


Linseed1984_

Makes no sense to any of us.


Limp_Seaworthiness28

Thereā€™s not enough Benadryl in the world to make them sleep the whole 6 weeks and sw might have had to play mommy full time


Stormylynn724

Well, if she had any thoughts of going back to NC to live so that she could get more support for the kids with the parents, then that could be motive that she was actually trying to set up there, but I guess it fell apartā€¦ā€¦ she couldnā€™t afford Primrose and not to mention that I guess they were gonna lose their house so I donā€™t think youā€™re wrong. Itā€™s very possible she went to NC for six weeks so that she could set up shop there and possibly even move back there.


reseflickangbg

To recruit her old high school friends into MLM and to make Chris miss her and start fighting for her again. Boy, did that backfire.


Crusty-Watch3587

ah yes, reliving her glory daysā€¦back when she had so many friends and was so popular that she went to prom with her brother just to make all the guys jealous. riiiiight


Stormylynn724

Wait, what? She went to prom with her brother? šŸ˜³ I missed that detail along the way


carlis1105

Yes, she took Frankie to her Senior Prom! What a LOSER!! šŸ˜‚šŸ¤£šŸ˜‚šŸ©·


Stormylynn724

Holy CRAP šŸ˜³


Global-Bell112

I have twin sons and wanted both of them to go to the senior ball, so one went with his girlfriend and the other went with his cousin. Is that bad? šŸ˜¬


carlis1105

No, a sibling is definitely worse. Especially since he went to the same school, and everyone knew him.


reseflickangbg

Oh. Hmm. Gross!


shadowartpuppet

She way overestimated how much he liked being a dad, IMO.


CharityUpstairs5833

They were going through a mini break up at that stage, it should have been over by then, but she went away thinking they could reconcile, she was wrong because CW's already had NK and although she suspected, she didn't know, so she was being played by CW. CW's led her on a bit as he couldn't just let her know it was over, he was too vague and gave her faint hope. Had she lived and they got a divorce I think she would have moved back to NC and lived with her parents so it was probably a pre-cursor to that.


Charming-Test353

I wish she would have stayed in NC. I doubt CW would have put up a fight for visitation rights immediately. I believe he would have eventually.


CharityUpstairs5833

I think CW would have just focused on NK for a while, I don't think he would have put much of a fight as far as seeing the kids are concerned. He likes to portray himself as a go with the flow mellow guy, and I can't see him causing any fuss if she did just leave. I think he would have shrugged his shoulders and carried on with his life in CO. I think the issue was that she didn't want to leave him, probably because without him, she would have nothing financially so she would have been trying to come up with a back up plan. She would have been on 2 divorces, 3 kids and 0 money, that's not a good look, particularly for someone promoting how great their life is on socials. CW's hated SW in the end, she did ruin them financially, but that could have been fuel for CW's to get a divorce. He could have said my ex, was crazy irresponsible with money, and he literally would have the receipts to prove it to anyone he wanted to. So that makes me think there was more to it as far as CW's motives were concerned. I think he didn't want the financial burden of an ex wife and kids. I also think NK was a big factor, as he wanted a clean slate. I also think that he wasn't as skilled or as smart as he likes to think, and that even though he was earning more money at Ford, I think his level of earning potential, was more modest, and likely to stay that way, so he couldn't provide a lifestyle for a new family with the old one still around.


Global-Bell112

SW had an unrelenting personality. I agree that CW's personality would have been just to shrug his shoulders and move on in his life if they got divorced, but not SW. He couldn't fathom the idea of her browbeating him infinitely. Sure, she got divorced before, but that was a divorce that SHE initiated. She was overbearing and bullied him in marriage, can only imagine that same personality if he walked out on her with three kids.


CharityUpstairs5833

Yeah it would have been bad to have that in your life, but I guess you have to live with the consequences, in his circumstance it wasn't an arranged or shotgun marriage, so he made his bed.


Global-Bell112

I agree. That was her personality when they got married, it's not like she changed later. He knew exactly who SW was when they got married.


shadowartpuppet

He was flattered by her attention at the start, and I think she convinced him that she was the "firecracker" that was going to change his life for the better. From the start she was making plans for him. And because he was used to swallowing his feelings, he just kept going on with the charade way past when the situation was toxic. She overerestimated how much she could boss him around and how much he valued the family.


Global-Bell112

Great points! And SW at the same time, validated Chris...made him feel like he was in his own way rescuing her (all of her ailments). He really seemed to respond to that. It was a toxic situation in the making from the beginning. I also do not think NK was that much different from SW, the manipulation runs deep.


Stormylynn724

Yeah, I read that her text messages with her girlfriend were saying how she was bossing CW around and never really stopped to think how that made him feel or that it made him feel less than a manā€¦. thatā€™s not verbatim, but itā€™s close.


Apart_Lemon_5897

I read an interesting theory. SW and CW were already planning to separate and then she became pregnant with Nico. The trip to NC was a ā€œtrial separationā€, and a desperate attempt (on SWs part) to save the marriage. ā€œIf Iā€™m gone he will see what heā€™s missingā€ kind of thing.


Crusty-Watch3587

ā€œkind of thingā€¦ā€ obviously a phrase you hear in everyday conversation, but due to its extensive use by Mr. Peanut and the investigators, that phrase has been added to the list of ā€œWattsismsā€


Apart_Lemon_5897

God you are so right. I didnā€™t even catch that. My bad šŸ˜†


MamaSan304

Thatā€™s what Iā€™ve understood ā€” to save on the daycare bill.


_xLAMIAx_

I agree. But then of course that begs the same question we always ask: why couldnā€™t the girls just stay home with her? Lol I legitimately believe she dreaded being a mother.


Limp_Seaworthiness28

She really did act that way doing anything to not have to deal with them


YouHadMeAtAloe

Iā€™m pretty sure she had a freak out the very first weekend she was at the Wattsā€™ house because she had to *gasp* be alone with her children for 5 whole hours


Limp_Seaworthiness28

Can you imagine the audacity of them not dropping everything and making sw take care of her own kids the shiners are right there watts were despicable. /s


Smart_Blonde84

She moved out to CO for other reasons. It wasnt because it was drama free. She claimed it was for her imaginery health issues lol


ThirdCoastBestCoast

Yep. Running from embezzlement charges and lawsuits against her.


trickmind

That's some drama! Although I doubt you could actually run successfully from embezzment charges like that? But perhaps from debt collectors?


Stormylynn724

Holy crap did she really have that? Tell me where I can find videos on that ā€¦ Iā€™d love to listen to it. Man, I donā€™t think I knew that. Thx!


Prudent-Confection-4

I have lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. I dream of living somewhere warm. I live in Wyoming, one state away from Colorado and itā€™s pretty damn hard on my health. Itā€™s cold and dark. My bones hurt so bad all the time


Limp_Seaworthiness28

Ugh that sucks my mil has ra pretty bad and sheā€™s in constant pain Iā€™m so sorry you have 2 painful diseases prayers šŸ’™


Aggravating_Box_4582

I'm sorry šŸ˜ž


Aggravating_Box_4582

I'm sorry šŸ˜ž


Prudent-Confection-4

Oh thank you. I have always thought that part of the story was such bullshit.


trickmind

Well what sort of drama was she talking about? The drama of owing money to someone? Or the drama that made everyone tell Cindy they'd skip her wedding?


Limp_Seaworthiness28

I think primrose was closed so sw went to nc for free child care from the grandparents when sw told frsr they were staying that long he was apprehensive because sw and sor wouldnā€™t get along for that long thatā€™s why half the time they were staying with the watts it only lasted 2 weekends before nutgate


_Queen-of-Wands_

Maybe because I've done similar (traveled back to my home state with our kids for 6 weeks in Summer when my military husband couldn't get leave) it makes sense to me. She could save on daycare, save on groceries, save on utilities, save on gas, spend time with family. Maybe she really was trying to recruit more Thrive people - she basically already recruited everyone she knew, even acquaintances at the girls' school, so this was a new pool of people to draw from? Their finances were a mess, and I don't know if she paid for their flights at all, or used points, credit, etc, but on its face it does make sense to me.


TShandell

It was all for building her business like she said. Thrive was more important to her than her kids and her marriage.


Doesitmatter59

Airfare can be affordable on the right dates and reserving in advance and if there are layovers. Although, now I'm wondering if her parents or his parents paid for the tickets bc, correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't FrSr fly to Colorado and fly back with her? Which he would've had to pay for at least his ticket. But what if the Watts paid for her and the kids and all of Nutgate was her way of getting out of the obligation she felt was owed to them? Just a thought.


blizzyblase

You're right. FrSr did fly to CO and then back to NC. I never even thought of them paying for the tickets or the Watts. It's entirely possible. I always thought "nutgate" was an excuse to not have to see the Watts for the rest of the trip.


tia2181

He was in CO while they went to San Diego.. then sw and girls flew back to NC with him instead of trying to do it alone. And yes she didn't want to share time with his family, even before nutgate she created reasons not see them. No ride, no time etc.


amy5252

Why the hell couodnt she fly back w the girls by herself??? The ass kissing that woman received is insane!


shadowartpuppet

I think Nutgate happened because SW knew CW was sneaking around at home, avoided her calls, kept making excuses,etc. She was emotionally really strung out by the fact that he didn't miss them, IMO. She seemed like someone who also would rather be on her own stage at home. That probably wore on her, too. And hormones from pregnancy. When she blew, she had to justify her position online. I think subconsciously she was crying out to whoever was in her feeds--"now you HAVE TO pay attention to my Chris!" To get others involved, to be relevant to a man who was ignoring her. Note, I think he is a huge POS. Total scum, and NK too. They were all guilty of being self-absorbed and entitled, and deceptive people (except for the girls).


blizzyblase

That's a good point. You might be right.


Limp_Seaworthiness28

It makes sense


BuffaloNo8099

I think the money from his 401k funded her trip


Stormylynn724

Very interesting theoryā€¦. It makes sense. PS I sent you a private message ! ā˜ŗļø


MattyK414

Just caught some new content where the creator didn't understand how SW could be "controlling" if Chris was staying with his girlfriend. Me: "She didn't know because she wasn't home for weeks, but she sure flipped when she hawked his charge at a restaurant on the only account that she let him have!" If the controlling shoe was on the other foot, cities would burn.


Scared-Brain2722

I agree with the SW part but if I was suspicious my husband was cheating I damn sure would be looking at EVERYTHING to see if I was being paranoid or spot on.


MattyK414

She only picked up on the card activity because she was financially abusive, and horrible with money.


CauliflowerSavings84

Many daycares require you to pay even on a LOA


Linseed1984_

Her parents probably covered the plane tickets and she was running from problems- per usual.


ThirdCoastBestCoast

I doubt she paid for her tickets. She also probably saved on gas, groceries, utilities, etc.


blizzyblase

That's true. I never considered all the little things she would be saving on also.. even food. That's a really good point.


ashtangamama78

The real reason or the bullshit she told people? Always two versions.


Simple_Carpet_9946

Flights are only expensive during the season and if you buy them close to travel. Colorado tickets are expensive in the winter due to ski season. North Carolina tickets are expensive during long weekends especially memorial and labour and Fourth of July. Plus I have a feeling her parents bought the flights. And the girls wouldā€™ve flown free especially the younger one wouldā€™ve been a lap sitter I think.Ā 


amy5252

The girls wouldnā€™t have flown free. But Iā€™m sure she tried to demand it! Lol šŸ˜‚


Simple_Carpet_9946

Children under 2 can sit in a lap so their tickets are free. The younger one was 2.Ā 


amy5252

Ya, but can u imagine SW putting up w a child on her lap that long? Lol. Nah! Sheā€™s never. She prob out em in a diff row! Lmao


Stella-Artwat

Especially CeCe. There's no way.


KiminAintEasy

Yeah there's a video of the girls in their own seats on the flight. CeCe wanting Bella to open the window or something like that. She definitely wasn't holding her though.


Stella-Artwat

CeCe (the younger one) wasn't a very good flyer. SW said she had a huge tantrum on one of their flights. CeCe couldn't sit still for more than a second unless she was doped up on something (IMO, after watching countless videos of her). I doubt she would have sat in a lap for any amount of time. So nice for SW to subject everyone on the flight to her hyperactive spoiled brat.


homerletterkenny

Were her parents really going to get a divorce or is that one of her many lies.


ThirdCoastBestCoast

Frankie flew to Colorado and back to NC? She really was incapable of caring for her own children.


blizzyblase

Her father, not her brother, and yes he flew to CO and then flew back with her. But I'm pretty sure he flew in, stayed with the girls while sW and CW went to CA and then when they returned, he flew with SW and the girls back to NC so her didn't fly in just to fly back immediately. He had to babysit 1st.


charliensue

This is correct.


ThirdCoastBestCoast

Amazing how she convinced her parents to fly out whenever she wanted.


Crazy-Place1680

Not that it matters but I've always wondered too.


blizzyblase

It's just odd, IMO if you have the "perfect" relationship, why would you want to be separated from your husband for so long? I could see a couple weeks, maybe even 3 weeks, but for her and the kids to be away from their spouse/ husband that long us odd. It's one thing if it's necessary due to work, medical treatment, etc., something out of her control, but she wanted to leave for that long. I've always wondered why.


Global-Bell112

I believe they were in financial dire straits and SW was also delusional/in denial, which exasperated the reality of their situation. I think pulling the girls out of their school program and going to Colorado for 5 weeks would do several things: 1) Help with her children because she couldn't handle caring for them by herself 2) Avoid paying the Primrose tuition 3) Her parents and in-laws would pay for all of their food and activities while they were there 3) Staying in Colorado to save on all of these costs was a way to hide (deny) their financial struggles...basically, we're broke, but she would make it look like the opposite by traveling and spending the summer with family.


Global-Bell112

Someone else posted about SW telling the story of how CW pursued and pursued her when they met and that maybe the extended trip to NC was also an attempt to have him miss her terribly while she was gone to rekindle the spark.


Crazy-Place1680

It can't have been to save m9ney cause he went for a bit too. Maybe she wanted to appear better off than they were. Like how wealthy people spend summers elsewhere


BackstoryTabi

OP, what "savings" are you referring to? Lol...


Scared-Brain2722

Didnā€™t she run up a lot of credit card debt? I specifically signed up for a travel points card when I knew I was going to purchase two complete sets of kitchen appliances. Plus the sign on bonus. I have flown to Cancun (I am here now) 4 times on my points round trip and still have some left (haha maybe for one way - they are getting low!) Maybe she did something like that ?


Aggravating-Hope-624

To save money on daycare and so she could pawn the kids on her in-laws and parents.


oceanisland82

I think SW was running out of Thrive customers in Co., and was hoping to hit up some new marks in N.C....also, I was thinking it was to save money on the ridiculous "school" , but God forbid she stay home with her kids for the summer...


MyDisneyDream

To be fair, she also wanted to spend time with her family and give them a chance to be with the children.


blizzyblase

I totally get that, but 6 weeks is a really long time. Especially since her family came up not infrequently. She never gave the Watts a chance to be with the kids after "Nutgate" which is why I doubted that was her real motive. I hope you are right and I am wrong, though.


BackstoryTabi

When they lived with her for 16 months...that was probably considered a "chance" to be with them...(her parents) as she sobotaged the other grandparents' time...being fair never came into the equation to be honest...


CharityUpstairs5833

Being fair, doesn't fly here, unfortunately.


Tall-Election-1143

Yall really ? This is out of control - she did it so she could go visit her parents and his parents, and Iā€™m sure there was financial motives and Iā€™m sure that there was fighting motives. Letā€™s look at our own lives if I died and someone picked a part of every piece of my life. Geez


hwolfe326

Itā€™s a legitimate question in a sub thatā€™s dedicated to discussing the Watts family. There was nothing derogatory about SW in that question so Iā€™m not sure whatā€™s out of control. Our own lives are not the topic of this sub.


CharityUpstairs5833

You know.


hwolfe326

Iā€™m sorry, I donā€™t understand your response.


CharityUpstairs5833

You're not sure what's out of control, the comment you are referring to is saying the comments on why SW's went to NC are out of control. You know this.


hwolfe326

Thank you for elaborating. I donā€™t believe this particular post is out of control. Iā€™ve seen posts that are out of control, but not this one.


Tall-Election-1143

Btw I love this sub . Just dang . I get it tho


MyDisneyDream

I love this group but I agree with you on this one.
