    Dream Big

    I really hope people there are watching closely and will perhaps report him to social services. He children have the worst dental health I've ever heard of in children, and don't get proper nutrition or socialization or education. They are allowed to go to town in flip flops and no coat in snow weather.

    QUOTE: Remember when he was so proud one night he made mac & cheese, Dutch oven bread and grilled cheese! I bet none of them shit for days!!!!!!

    Serving grilled cheese with mac and cheese is insane. Either one would be fine on its own with a salad or vegetable added. I'm a read stickler for an attractive and colorful plate. That combo just sounds gross.

    I worked at Walmart one Christmas season decades ago. It will almost make you hate people. People seem to think employees just lock the door and walk out as soon as the last customer leaves. NO. For the last hour, they've been hurrying and using every spare second to straighten everything. They can't leave until the store is straight. Then people like Tom come in close to closing time and rampage through the store making a mess, and people have to backtrack and redo things, and get home late. The Christmas eve I worked, we were to close at six, and had been helping each other get ready to leave so we could get home to our family activities. But at five before six, people were flooding in the door. It left such a bad taste in my mouth that 48 years later, I still have my Christmas shopping finished before Thanksgiving, including any extra supplies and foods that are non perishable. I want no part of the bedlam.

    It is incredibly childish that Tom eats different food from the family. I've had two female relatives who had somewhat picky husbands. While pregnant with their firstborns, they had serious talks with their husbands, saying they wanted to raise children who weren't picky and would eat all the things that were good for them. They said they couldn't possibly do that without presenting a united front to the children. They men really tried and learned to be a lot less picky, to set a good example for their children. Tom thinks people like himself are so much better than those who choose to not have children. Since he doesn't know how to parent, it is no feather in his cap to have had so many.

    Wow, Mrs. Candor, thanks for sharing. There's a lot to unpack there, but I simply don't have the time or patience to address it all. The major things that jumped out at me were:

    1. He stated he had 9 children and specifically said that they were all with the same woman. That is deception by omission. He came off as bragging that his children are all with one woman, which is NOT true. Tom, you have TEN children with TWO women. That is a fact.

    2. It was disturbing how much he brought up porn. It is obviously a huge struggle for him and something he thinks about often. That would be a huge red flag for me.

    Ironically, I watched an old chat of Andrea's this morning. She was talking about their work and financial history, and described a time when they had very little money and Tom was looking for a new job. He turned down many jobs, including one at a convenience store of some type that he and Andrea felt he could not take because the store sold porn and that was wrong. That's interesting.

    It is shocking the lack of self-awareness Tom has, especially considering what a "deep thinker" he is.

    I , too, was thunderstruck at him twice in his dating profile saying he didn't watch porn. No normal person would even think about needing to specify that. BIG red flag. Why is it on his mind so much. I also recently saw part of the video where Andrea mentioned about their not wanting him to work at a store that sold porn. I don't think I would be comfortable working at a business that sold nothing but porn, but a convenience store sells many items for all kinds of people, all legal to sell. I've worked at one and had to sell cigarettes. I've never smoked and think it's an incredibly stupid habit, but it's legal. I saw no moral conflict. The experience certainly didn't tempt me into smoking. The total opposite, from seeing people spend absolutely all the money they could scrounge for another pack of cigarettes. Were they afraid working around a few dirty magazines was too much temptation for Tom in some way?

    Their ideas on education are just horrendous. Not everyone needs to go to college. But everyone DOES need to finish high school with real knowledge of what there is to learn there. Including the knowledge and discipline of how to learn, so that they can easily learn specific information for jobs in the future. Everything you've quoted here proves both were unfit to home school.

    Wyoming must not be a state with mandatory state tests for the home schooled. It is criminal child neglect that they get away with just pretending to school those children.

    I don't see how they will even be able to make good marriages. Who would marry someone who grew up mostly ignorant? Education prepares young people to take their places in society. How will these children do that?

    Just the fact it was around Valentine's Day that he was showing a valentine that Andrea gave him taped to his computer shows he's not ready to move on. I'm telling him, there is a difference in accepting the love of a deceased wife but at some point, it's just disrespectful to post love letters all over the place if he has a new woman. I can say well if it doesn't bother the woman then that's ok but is it really? You can still have fond memories, talk about the person once in awhile, look at a photo album, but I would be highly uncomfortable if a man had love notes posted from his deceased wife around the place. If I were in the same shoes, I wouldn't do that to a person. I would stick it in a scrapbook.. if I needed to, I would look at it privately. Too much "backward" thinking (living in the past) is just not good. I would want my spouse to forward think with me and have appropriate times for grieving, remembering, or sharing. I guess what I'm saying is at some point you have to be WITH the new person. Is he really ready? I guess if someone has been in this situation they would know better than I do. I am only thinking of it from the situation of meeting a guy who is still reading love notes attached to a computer all the time. Would I really want to be apart of that? I would think he's not ready.
    That was another thing that caught my eye, if he is still in a relationship then why did he also post on facebook a photo of his proposing to Andrea? Should you do that if you have a girlfriend? I don't know. It just kind of seems like that, the comment on that he shouldn't be in a pity party, and talking about trusting in God makes me think he's coping with something more than just missing Andrea. I think his bad relationships makes him miss Andrea even more bc he misses that special bond. And I really do feel that even though she did a lot for him and that he often seemed detached, that he really did have a strong bond with her and love her.

    I agree that some of this behavior is rude if there is someone else in the picture. OTOH, people think that grief is a finite process that you "get through", or that you "get over it." That is false. Grief is something you learn to live with and it changes you. You will never be the same person you were. You will never stop having feelings for that person. That doesn't mean there isn't room in a heart for a new love, too.
    This is why a widow and a widower are usually such a good match. They truly understand each other, and aren't jealous of those leftover feelings.
    But Tom, I'm sure, wouldn't want a widow his own age. He wants a hot young thing who still has a lot of energy to finish raising his enormous brood.

    How could anyone be crazy enough to think you could "heal" cavities with butter? I think having kids with such incredibly bad teeth due to parents practicing such craziness on them would be grounds for child welfare getting involved.

    Listen very closely to the statements Claudia is making in the first 10ish seconds of the video. Fathead then starts talking over her to conceal the fact that Claudia is repeating some disturbing ass things he has likely been saying to her when the camera is off.

    Who threatens to kick their four year old out of the house? Honestly he should kick all of them out of the house. Let Bethany finish raising them. It's sad to see that plenty of people care more deeply about the Mills children than the one living parent they have left. That's gotta feel like the ultimate failure in life. Because it really is. No wonder Mr Foot Spray has been so emotionally unstable lately.

    I couldn't understand her well. However, I heard loud and clear that he was making a video because the girls were playing games and were so cute, he thought it would be a good idea to do a video. I will never understand the mindset of youtubers. Why not either play WITH them, or just let them be, and enjoy themselves. Everything doesn't need to be a video.

    Beginning of the bible live Tom says he canceled one of his jobs today last-minute, then he stares into the camera smirking saying he "had somethings he wanted to do". So he screwed a customer last minute and didn't do his job because he wanted to probably talk to his gf. Nice one.

    He doesn't deserve to have his own business. He's just a lazy shirker.

    Granted, Tom is disgustingly inappropriate in how he handles all things. He could have said something like how he'd never find anyone like her, without promising to not remarry. But if Andrea really hoped he wouldn't remarry, that was really selfish. I know my late husband would want me to remarry if I had a chance to marry someone who was decent and would be kind to me. He always championed anyone we knew who found love again, including my mother. If things had been reversed, I would absolutely have wanted him to find love again. Life is short, and love is really all that matters. I'd like to see some sign that Tom was actually looking for love, and not just someone to take over running his household.

    And I think being focused on filming for youtube when Andrea was dying is the worst thing about Tom. He should have been focused on her, spending his time with her. He has no concept of the additional grief suffered during the pandemic by people who couldn't be with their spouse as they were dying. He was given an opportunity to be with her and didn't even appreciate it.

    I can't imagine one pair of shoes. I'll admit to having a lot more shoes than I need. (When I find something that is 100% comfortable and quality, I watch for sales and buy spares to be sure I always have some, in different colors, too. I recently stocked up on my favorite model of Clark's $90 shoes for $25.) But even a non shoe maven adult needs two pairs of decent every day shoes, old shoes for yard work, walking shoes, sandals for summer, some kind of boot for winter, and dress shoes. Many people keep a pair of spare black dress shoes so they aren't caught short if there is a funeral on short notice. Many families couldn't afford that many shoes for kids who are still growing fast, but everyone needs more than one pair. What do you do if it's time to go somewhere and a shoe suddenly tears up, with no other shoes in reserve? We didn't have a lot of money when I was growing up, but I had at least a pair each of school shoes, play shoes, and Sunday shoes. I just can't wrap my head around people depending on one pair, unless they're destitute and living on the street.

    What in the world does Tom have to be depressed about when Monday approaches?? He's his own boss, sets his own hours, only works with people of his choosing, in a business HE chose to go into. If he isn't happy, he is incapable of being happy.

    I would get such a thrill out of seeing him have to really hold down a real job. Get to sleep on time, get up on time, be dressed appropriately for the job and do as he was told. I'd love to see him forced to work with all kinds of people in peace, people he didn't choose to work with. Having an employee review would do wonders for his ego.

    Having kids who are afraid of baths and barbers really tells you a lot about the grooming and cleanliness standards of the family. And it isn't rocket science. To prepare my little brother for his first haircut when he was little, my dad would turn on an electric razor around him and show it to him, so he wouldn't get scared at the barber's electric clippers. The very idea of a teenager uneasy about going to the salon is incredible.
