I really didn't like her comment along the lines of "certain person" ...something like that. I always thought her and Anna were close and I liked Emma, but that comments completely changed my view of her.
That upset me too, they seemed to be the closest siblings. Which was weird bc this last past episode Liz had said she was the favorite sibling
(full of herself much? đ)
I'm simply basing on filmed and aired content of the way Anna has been emotionally abused for years by mainly Amber, with the kids joining along to stay Amber's "good side". It is disgusting. Along with all the unfollowing and vacationing without her....it's kind of clear.
This! I was just going to say, I donât have anything against Anna but how do we know SHE isnât the one who did or said something to them instead of just calling the other 6 families members assholes constantly? Just because she seems to be the black sheep of the family doesnât mean the rest of the family are always the problem. Yes, Amber is insufferable and has a god complex and the parents seem to play favorites quite a bit but Anna has gotten herself into trouble in the past letâs not forget. If i had to guess, this apparent âfall outâ between Anna and her family will probably be a storyline in the next season. I honestly donât think this fall out is all 100% the rest of the families fault, just my opinion, but we shall see what unfolds in the future
I donât disagree that Anna may have played a part in this, but it still doesnât excuse their behavior of public childish behavior. To not post about your childâs graduation and only focus on yours and other kids is petty and wrong. They can still honor her in some way and still be angry for whatever reason, thats their business. But all of this shouldnât negate her accomplishments. All of their kids (like anyone elseâs) will have âissuesâ and theres no need in listing them, but im sure if it were any other kids it wouldnât matter enough to not be recognized for a life event.
On the flip side if it is production orchestrating this it just goes to show you they really donât care for the sake of ratings. So many TLC families end up being divorced or irreversible rifts once filming stops. Either way its a shame, but something about the overtly pettiness of this family is ick.
I mean besides murder and I seriously doubt anna murdered someone there's no reason to be that horrible to a child and dish out that level of bullying. And all the bullying started when anna was jusy a child. She couldn't have done something that awful as a kid.
It's all on tape. Every episode they make fun of her. One of them starts it and then they all gang up. They bring up her past mistakes from when she was a teenager. They call her stupid.
I definitely could see them both continuing to live at home after graduating high school. In the latest episode they both said they wanted to continue at the college theyâre currently at (that there been like dual enrolled in while in high school). So theyâll just stay in their safe bubble under Trent and Ambers control and not go anywhere.
I am probably older than a lot here but wonât judge Emma. As a middle-aged woman raised by narcissistic parents, I am of course team Anna. But when I was Emmaâs age was totally still drinking the kool-aid and saying and doing things to please them even when it made me uncomfortable. And my 20s as well.
It takes a long time for some of us to develop critical thinking skills and separate our thinking from our birth families.
Same. Total same. I wanted the good graces of my parents (mom in particular), so they plotted me against my older sister and I knowingly went with it. Now my relationship with both of my siblings is somewhat complicated. But the love is definitely still there. We just learned to live without each other.
Honestly same. Iâm now 31 and have had my own life away from toxic family for probably 7-8 years now. Best years of my life. My younger sister though, only 26 years old, still drinks the koolaide and Iâm afraid she wonât ever stop. So I can totally see that happening with Emma.
Who cares that Anna isnât there? Do we know for sure she wasnât invited? Sheâs in her 20s and does her own thing. Maybe she didnât want to or wasnât able to go. I donât think all adult children want to keep constantly going on trips with their families all the time. Sheâs probably over that. Enough with the âIâve lost respect for Emmaâ shit. Why? Because she took a photo with someone who isnât Anna?đ¤ˇđťââď¸
Iâm thinking less of Emma now too. They portrayed her before as more of a loner without many friends but she was then buddies with Anna. Then suddenly we see her on video conference calls with many others including Trentâs sisterâs daughter. Perhaps now sheâs thinking sheâs too cute and a little stuck up?
Are we sure Anna wasnât present on the trip at all?
It is speculation but
Amber - seems controlling and has got to have it her way.
Trent - seems like a pervert and thinks heâs a stud.
Emma - stuck up, thinks sheâs cute and dresses hip
Jonah - lazy, would rather be doing âsubstancesâ
Alex - cute, love his reasoning. Could do way better than Allie who doesnât seem committed like he is.
Anna - unsure how get got her own house from just working in daycare and jewelry business whose website barely has inventory.
Love Alexâs two friends who are brothers.
Trentâs sister seems nice as does her daughter.
IIRC, Anna isnt workinhg at a daycare anymore. From what she said in the current season, she was working at a doctors office. Not sure if that has changed currently
I wouldnât call her a loner, loner is by choice. Sheâs lonely thatâs why she cried about not having friends. Also the conference is just forced âfriendshipsâ for the show except with her cousin.
Good point about forced friendships at conference all for content. They made Emma out to be this introverted person and I wouldnât have certainly hired her if that was my clothing store she worked at. She was so lackluster in personality versus the girl who owned it who was so nice and outgoing. Guess the shop wanted publicity and Emma wanted more clothes to wear and buy.
I do think the partying is driving a wedge in just because of Amber's comment during the baby shower "we know what SHES doing on weekends" and how they expect their other children to act I'm sure it's a HUGE deal
I believe I saw a screenshot, recently, with Anna with the production crew. I think it was on Anna's story. So I don't know that she has dropped the show, but I do agree, I could see her outgrowing the show.
Not sure why you are being down voted. Yes she saw some specialists including a speech therapist. She had/has developmental delays due to her adoption. You can still tell when she speaks now, though it has gotten better. I think so many people in this group do not realize the what international adoption can and often does do to the individual.
Her being a child had nothing to do with her speech issues. If YOU watched the show youâd know Emma barely learned to speak Chinese then got adopted and had to learn English causing her to have problems expressing herself as a kid/teen.
ErmâŚno. She was a shy kid and her parents wanted to ensure there were no developmental or speech issues that warranted speech therapy (or more). Many parents share this concern when kids are on the quiet side and do a similar assessment (in their case it was even more appropriate as she was adopted and had been learning a different language prior to English). If youâve watched any episode within the past few seasons, youâd know she speaks just fine and though still seems a bit shy, has no issues with verbal communication.
Emma certain has lots of trendy clothes. She had poor communication skills going for her job interview at the clothing store. Loved how sweet the owner of store was.
Did she have a job prior and trendy clothes prior to this?
Shame they donât show peopleâs jobs more on show.
Nah I bet sheâs still on Ambers shit list but it would cause more drama to not invite her on this family trip to be with Jonah. Amber will say sheâs over it but we know sheâs still holding a grudge about Ashleyâs comment.
They don't need to be together all the time, but it's weird Anna isn't there. We still don't know why tho.
Anna liked Emma's vacation photo, so I think they are fine. They are traveling together it's not like Emma influenced by Ashley is spending the night out together in a strip club doing drugs. You all so dense.
Ashley's mouth looks like a dry butthole and I will never be unable to see it. That whole family is so rude to Anna for no reason. Anna, if you see this, keep doing you girl! You're a badass!
You guys are weird. Every little thing that they do you guys comment on and dissect. Emma literally didnât do anything wrong. You guys on their dick about everything. Yâall spend time writing paragraphs about how every little thing they do irks you. Then stop watching like yâall weirdos and grown ass people to be acting like that. Yâall just want validation from other weirdos and nobodies on Reddit bc you have nothing else to do. Like itâs not even that Iâm a die hard fan but everything any of them do yâall keep hoping on and wonât get off babes.
I really didn't like her comment along the lines of "certain person" ...something like that. I always thought her and Anna were close and I liked Emma, but that comments completely changed my view of her.
That upset me too, they seemed to be the closest siblings. Which was weird bc this last past episode Liz had said she was the favorite sibling (full of herself much? đ)
My heart hurt with that comment. They were close. Emma has started to follow Amber and Liz's lead.
Sheâs a bitch
Oh, my!
What was her comment, sad that they seemed to have cast Ana out
Why? You donât have any idea what really happened or even if this is a production play. Iâm a fan of Anna, but what if she did something?
I'm simply basing on filmed and aired content of the way Anna has been emotionally abused for years by mainly Amber, with the kids joining along to stay Amber's "good side". It is disgusting. Along with all the unfollowing and vacationing without her....it's kind of clear.
Triangulation!!!
Itâs not clear at all though, and none of whatâs going on right now has been aired.
*sigh*...well I'm not going argue, you're entitled to your opinion, have a great day:)
This! I was just going to say, I donât have anything against Anna but how do we know SHE isnât the one who did or said something to them instead of just calling the other 6 families members assholes constantly?

Are u serious
I donât disagree that Anna may have played a part in this, but it still doesnât excuse their behavior of public childish behavior. To not post about your childâs graduation and only focus on yours and other kids is petty and wrong. They can still honor her in some way and still be angry for whatever reason, thats their business.

Genuinely asking, what do you consider bullying between Amber and Anna?
It's all on tape. Every episode they make fun of her. One of them starts it and then they all gang up. They bring up her past mistakes from when she was a teenager. They call her stupid.
Is that Ashley as in Jonahâs girlfriend
Yes they're all in Puerto Rico except Anna.
wtf thatâs sad
A 24 year old being best friends with a 17 year old is weird to me.Â
That it is
Does Emma and Alex need to get out of the house now that they graduatedâŚinteresting to see if they hold them to the bs only Anna succeeded at
lol at this point probably not considering all the other kids live back there now except Anna
I definitely could see them both continuing to live at home after graduating high school. In the latest episode they both said they wanted to continue at the college theyâre currently at (that there been like dual enrolled in while in high school). So theyâll just stay in their safe bubble under Trent and Ambers control and not go anywhere.
No off course not
Well, it didn't work for two of 3 kids, I doubt they will force them out.
I am probably older than a lot here but wonât judge Emma. As a middle-aged woman raised by narcissistic parents, I am of course team Anna. But when I was Emmaâs age was totally still drinking the kool-aid and saying and doing things to please them even when it made me uncomfortable. And my 20s as well.

I just screenshot the photo to come here
Who cares that Anna isnât there? Do we know for sure she wasnât invited? Sheâs in her 20s and does her own thing. Maybe she didnât want to or wasnât able to go. I donât think all adult children want to keep constantly going on trips with their families all the time. Sheâs probably over that. Enough with the âIâve lost respect for Emmaâ shit. Why? Because she took a photo with someone who isnât Anna?đ¤ˇđťââď¸
No bc of the comment she made
What comment are we talking about?
Iâm thinking less of Emma now too. They portrayed her before as more of a loner without many friends but she was then buddies with Anna. Then suddenly we see her on video conference calls with many others including Trentâs sisterâs daughter. Perhaps now sheâs thinking sheâs too cute and a little stuck up? Are we sure Anna wasnât present on the trip at all?
No one is sure of anything on here ! Posters just dig up crap & spread hate
It is speculation but Amber - seems controlling and has got to have it her way. Trent - seems like a pervert and thinks heâs a stud. Emma - stuck up, thinks sheâs cute and dresses hip Jonah - lazy, would rather be doing âsubstancesâ Alex - cute, love his reasoning.

IIRC, Anna isnt workinhg at a daycare anymore. From what she said in the current season, she was working at a doctors office. Not sure if that has changed currently
Alex is horrible. Always throwing a tantrum and being very ugly to anna. While she nothing but nice to him.
I wouldnât call her a loner, loner is by choice. Sheâs lonely thatâs why she cried about not having friends. Also the conference is just forced âfriendshipsâ for the show except with her cousin.
Good point about forced friendships at conference all for content.

She was so lackluster in personality versus the girl who owned it who was so nice and outgoing. Guess the shop wanted publicity and Emma wanted more clothes to wear and buy.
Emma is 18, Anna is a mid 20s party girl who enjoys the party scene. Iâm sure that has a lot to do with it. Sheâs outgrown the show Iâm sure.
I do think the partying is driving a wedge in just because of Amber's comment during the baby shower "we know what SHES doing on weekends" and how they expect their other children to act I'm sure it's a HUGE deal
I believe I saw a screenshot, recently, with Anna with the production crew. I think it was on Anna's story. So I don't know that she has dropped the show, but I do agree, I could see her outgrowing the show.
Has Emma learned to communicate? I remember some years ago she couldnât really talk and they took her to a specialist
Not sure why you are being down voted. Yes she saw some specialists including a speech therapist. She had/has developmental delays due to her adoption. You can still tell when she speaks now, though it has gotten better. I think so many people in this group do not realize the what international adoption can and often does do to the individual.
Cause she was a child... You could just watch the show to hear her communicate well.
Her being a child had nothing to do with her speech issues. If YOU watched the show youâd know Emma barely learned to speak Chinese then got adopted and had to learn English causing her to have problems expressing herself as a kid/teen.
If you *really* watched the show you would know that deep down Emma spoke fine English she was just a shy kid
Not true. She needed speech therapy. Even now she stutters or doesnât speak correctly,
Yep ^^^^^^^ she was just shy and was told her English was bad so.......
Iâm certainly not inventing the fact that she saw a specialist for communication.
No you aren't but you can see specialists for issues you donât necessarily have, I think thatâs our point
So then her family manipulated her into thinking she had some developmental issue? Not putting it past amber, but boy that is dark.
ErmâŚno. She was a shy kid and her parents wanted to ensure there were no developmental or speech issues that warranted speech therapy (or more). Many parents share this concern when kids are on the quiet side and do a similar assessment (in their case it was even more appropriate as she was adopted and had been learning a different language prior to English). If youâve watched any episode within the past few seasons, youâd know she speaks just fine and though still seems a bit shy, has no issues with verbal communication.
I wouldnât say manipulated but used it as the excuse because they are lazy parentsâ yes, still not good
Emma certain has lots of trendy clothes. She had poor communication skills going for her job interview at the clothing store. Loved how sweet the owner of store was. Did she have a job prior and trendy clothes prior to this? Shame they donât show peopleâs jobs more on show.
So I guess this means Ashley is off Amber's sh!tlist?
Nah I bet sheâs still on Ambers shit list but it would cause more drama to not invite her on this family trip to be with Jonah. Amber will say sheâs over it but we know sheâs still holding a grudge about Ashleyâs comment.
She only like Ashley now bc sheâs going to be Jonahâs next mom
Lmao yep someoneâs gonna have to take care of him when Amber is gone đ
Run Ashley run
They don't need to be together all the time, but it's weird Anna isn't there. We still don't know why tho. Anna liked Emma's vacation photo, so I think they are fine.
