Emily Spellman & her talk of SSRIs

emily comes on the internet, claims she sees a behavioral specialist, claims she’s depressed, and tells us she was recommended an SSRI medication.

i’m sorry but the part about not wanting to try it because she “already knows how she’ll feel” based on how her family members reacted to ssris is fucking pissing me off.

you don’t inherit your relative’s reaction to an antidepressant. that is not how medication works. people can react completely differently to the exact same medication, which is why you work with a doctor and figure out what works for you. obviously she doesn’t have to take it, but deciding you already know how a medication will affect you when you’ve never taken it is certainly a choice. especially if you’re actually depressed.

and as someone who has been on psychiatric medication for years, this shit drives me insane. medication isn’t some moral failure. for some people, it quite literally gives them their life back. i know that firsthand.

are we supposed to give this woman grace when she is doing literally nothing to make herself actually better? congrats for nothing loser

Emily Spellman’s test comes back negative

Posting for u/Thick_Office8922

my opinion though:
she shouldn’t have any more kids. she doesn’t even know the full hands she’s about to have with this kid. she’s selfish, and doesn’t DESERVE any more. this is a super weird fucking convo to post to the internet though. and i highly doubt annmarie & her mother dreamt she was pregnant. might’ve been a nightmare. have to have sex to get pregnant. also little girl, fucking track your cycle and you’d probably know if it were possible

DONALD & EMILY SPELLMAN, PLEASE DO NOT HOMESCHOOL ASA.

buckle up, it’s gonna be a long one. this is one of the few things i’m actually going to be serious about, because the idea of donald and emily homeschooling this child genuinely fucking concerns me.

this baby is treated like an accessory to their lives rather than a little person whose life they’re supposed to be building around. he goes everywhere they go. bars, weddings, dance classes, events, whatever they’re doing that day, he goes too. apparently the concept of getting a babysitter and doing something without your baby simply does not exist in their world.

we’ve watched them prioritize content, social media and their own interests over actually engaging with him. we’ve watched them dismiss or seemingly overlook things that should have any parent paying attention.

and i’m sorry, but the baby should not have to spend his entire childhood adhering to his parents’ lifestyle. parents are supposed to create a life that works for the child too.

we’ve seen activity centers, seated walkers and containers used constantly. we’ve seen very little evidence of them creating an environment that’s actually centered around his development. they seem much more interested in bringing him along to whatever they want to do than creating things for him to do. i don’t think i’ve ever seen them go anywhere or do anything that revolved around asa.

and then there’s the weird insistence on making their interests his interests. golf. gilmore girls. dancing. whatever else they’re into that day. meanwhile, where are the things that are actually for this baby? where is the age appropriate play? where is the child centered environment? where is the fucking CHILDHOOD?

now we’re supposed to trust these same two people to provide his ENTIRE education?

homeschooling requires an enormous amount of structure, organization, consistency, engagement and attention. you have to actually build your days around your child’s needs and development. you don’t just drag them along to your own life and call it education. i wish this wasn’t fucking legal.

emily can recognize that she needs bloodwork when she says she’s anemic and is concerned about her health, but somehow routine pediatric care for her own baby becomes optional because of cost or whatever excuse they’ve given. that’s a hell of a priority system. i cannot even believe this selfish bitch sometimes.

if you can make appointments and get bloodwork when something is wrong with you, you can understand why people are going to question why your infant isn’t receiving routine medical care. and since yall read in here very often, i’m fucking BEGGING you to respond to THIS criticism.

i’m not going to diagnose asa or claim that every developmental concern we’ve noticed was caused by his parents. i’m not a doctor and neither is reddit. but when people are already raising legitimate questions about his development and physical positioning, the answer should be to pay more attention to him, not decide that these two are going to take on the additional responsibility of educating him themselves.

homeschooling can work beautifully for families who are organized, engaged and genuinely prepared to make their child’s education the center of their day.

donald and emily have shown me none of that.

they’ve shown me a baby who gets folded into their lifestyle. now they’re telling us they’re going to build his education around their lifestyle too.

i’m sorry, but i don’t want to see this child become another extension of their shitty brand. he needs opportunities to develop his own interests, his own personality, his own friendships and his own life outside of whatever donald and emily happen to be doing. DIDN’T YOU TWO ALSO GET THOSE OPPORTUNITIES?!

please don’t homeschool this kid. let him have a childhood that isn’t designed around his parents.

And just like the stupid fucking shirt Donald wears all the time, ACKNOWLEDGE ME DONALD SPELLMAN!!!!!!!!!

Emily Spellman explains her dumb ass tattoos, & also explains her job (3 years ago)

Not to be a tattoo snob, but her describing her one arm of tattoos (that aren’t even filled in) as a half sleeve is HYSTERICAL to me 😂😂😂😂

Look, it’s such a common question in here what the hell ARE Emily’s tattoos so I somehow stumbled on this Q&A they did 3 years ago and I find it very interesting how she talks about em.

BUT anyway 😂 the beginning of the vid is her explaining what she does for a living . and all the cOLLabORaTiONs she has!!!!! omg im laughing so hard at all of this and needed to share

Emily Spellman looking like a wet dog in a wrinkly Amazon set

I guess her new content is these staged annoying happy family videos in the kitchen? They all look exactly the same besides they’re wearing different clothes. Only sometimes for Asa though, they don’t like to change his clothes. Or take care of him. Or do anything for him, besides hold him up strangely in videos so that it can ensure a couple more thousand views than either one of them would get without him.

Hey Emily, your hair looks like shit
YOU look like shit
Your husband looks like he hates you honestly

Is this supposed to be relatable? Looking like trash all the time? Is that why she always walks out in a bra too? To be … “relatable and messy”? She’s just not pretty enough for that

Morning YALL!!!! Guess we’re not going to see how Cedar Creek went the past couple nights? At least yet? 😂

Examples of what line dancing should look like

Donald & Emily Spellman constantly dance to these two line dances, I know this of course because I’ve watched 1 trillion old videos of theirs. I truly never knew what the dances were supposed to look like until this morning, because it’s not like I’m a line dancing fan or anything. This girl randomly came up on my fyp.

It’s actually crazy to see these two dances done with 100% effort. Wanted to share with you guys because maybe you’d be curious also. I’ve never heard of this line dancer in particular, but I went through her page a little and she’s pretty damn GOOD. This person deserves those views for dancing.

Emily Spellman, can you buy more clothes for your kid?

How many times are we going to see this fucking onesie? I guess he slept in his clothes he wore to the grocery store etc yesterday? And still another full diaper? What the fuck is wrong with her? she clearly changed HER shirt why not his ??????????????????????

u/Own_Opportunity_503 — 15 days ago

quick mod note 🤍

i know everyone’s frustrated, trust me, i am too. but please stop making comments encouraging people to contact businesses, leave reviews, email people, etc.

all it does is take attention away from the actual point we’re making. instead of talking about what donald and emily did, people start talking about us. it makes legitimate criticism easier to dismiss and gives people an excuse to write off everything else being said. we don’t gotta announce what we’re doing otherwise it’s so easy to dismiss us all as trolls even though we have legitimate criticisms.

we’ve built this sub by documenting inconsistencies and discussing things that are publicly available. let’s not undercut our own credibility by making ourselves the focus.
i appreciate every single one of you. i’m only saying this because i want this sub to stick around and continue being taken seriously. 🤍

Donald Spellman, thought Cedar Creek owed you $7k?

old screenshot of course, from 3 months ago.

funny how “they owe us $7,000” turned into “we’re so excited to be part of the cedar creek family” in just a few months.

i’d genuinely love to know what happened in between because that’s one hell of a plot twist. was the $7,000 paid? was it never actually owed? did everyone suddenly make up?

Day 1 - Spellman Dance Event Recap

Here’s the video they posted of yesterday.
I didn’t stay up last night because they were so quiet on social media the whole time.

I haven’t seen the Spellmans except for in that one pic of Ann Marie.

Emily’s behavior and her silence on all of this is the most strange thing of all in my opinion

u/Own_Opportunity_503 — 20 days ago

if you paid for the dance floor event, i’d be asking for answers. donald spellman’s explanation for why emily spellman missed opening night

i know we’ve already talked about this. i’m posting the full video because context matters, and i have a few thoughts after actually hearing donald explain it.

sooo… the explanation is he’s teething?
they’re working on getting him into his crib?

that’s why emily couldn’t go.
this is the same event they’ve been planning for months. the same event that was originally marketed around emily and tara. the same event with her face all over the website.
so… what was the plan? what if people really paid to come see this “worldwide dancer” they were advertised?

because “the baby’s teething” doesn’t sound like something that suddenly happens an hour before you’re supposed to leave. we’ve been hearing about this fucking kid teething for months now. so much teething actually that now that i think of it i haven’t even seen a tooth break through in any of their pics. since when is emily a MOTHER first? all of sudden since my posts last week? 🥱

and since when has getting asa into his crib been such a priority that she’d miss one of the biggest events they’ve promoted for MONTHS??????? if the plan was to start transitioning asa into his crib around the same time as your biggest event of the year that’s actually wild.

IF YOU PURCHASED TICKETS FOR THIS SHITSHOW, TRULY I’M SORRY!

i’m not buying that this was some unavoidable parenting emergency. i’m buying that this was the explanation they decided to give. or it’s fucking ragebait again. OR nobody fucking bought tickets and they wanted to get reimbursed or something.

btw- they haven’t been together for 4 years. MAYBE 3.5.

QUICK RULE REMINDER FOR NEW MEMBERS!

we’ve had a lot of new members recently, so here are the rules that seem to be getting ignored the most.

1. use full names in your titles.
this is the biggest one.

write donald spellman and/or emily spellman in your title or first line. first line means it doesn’t HAVE to be in your title of the post, just within the first line of your post.

not “he,” “she,” “look at this,” or “omg.”
it helps with search, keeps the sub organized, and makes it easier to find older posts.

2. low effort posts will be removed.
this includes:
ONE WORD or VAGUE titles
shit with little to no context
posts that make everyone else figure out what you’re talking about

3. check for duplicates before posting.
if something was posted five minutes ago, you don’t need to post it again. if the reference is the same (same post, different topic/discourse it will not be removed)

4. no doxxing
listen, i know both donald and emily dox themselves all the time. publicly. (DSI is not doxxing. his entire family is very public and proud about the company they own, and it’s a part of donald’s content)
that doesn’t change the rules of reddit. i don’t wanna see his address, ANY of their family member’s workplaces, phone numbers, identifying information, etc.

5. read the rules.
they’re there for a reason.
if your post gets removed, it isn’t personal. i’m not removing things because i’m bored or because i disagree with you. i’m removing them because they break the rules that are already posted.

we all know the other rules hopefully, but i thought it’d be good to mention- this isn’t a “dear emily/donald” sub. if you want to discuss their choices, have at it. if you want to write open letters hoping they’ll change, this probably isn’t the place.

if you’re new to reddit and have a question, message me. i’d rather answer a question than remove another low effort post or incorrect title.

THANKS YALL!!!!!!! LOVE YA

This is a bit concerning

maybe it’s just me, but a complete stranger describing your baby’s eyes as “dreamy” and announcing they’re emotionally hurt because you didn’t reply would make me rethink how much of my child i’m putting on the internet. that level of attachment from strangers is so fucking concerning

Since Donald Spellman thinks it’s impressive his 5mo ran around in a seated walker

Posting this as a PSA to Donald, who posted yesterday about how impressive it was that his 5mo child has been running around in a seated walker pretty much for two whole months since that time.

Here’s an OT telling you why.

& once again, INFORMATION IS SO ACCESSIBLE THEY HAVE NO EXCUSE

u/Own_Opportunity_503 — 24 days ago

So… Emily Spellman is a child that Donald has to feed or remind to eat

Just saw this stupid shit.

Why does he have to DECIPHER ANYTHING FOR HER? Is she a child? Am I just not getting it? Does anyone else’s spouse dictate or have to decipher things like this for them?

Y’all are doing a TERRIBLE job as first time parents, btw. Information is free. Information is accessible. We all have the same access to the fucking internet. Your wife should be eating because she is the one presumedly breastfeeding her child. The “girl dinners” and random chips and cookies, aren’t sufficient.

BTW- He seems to do fucking everything for her, she needs to be reminded to eat, made breakfast for, laundry done for her. WHAT THE FUCK DOES SHE ACTUALLY DO?

WHY IS YOUR BABY STILL VOMITING SO MUCH?
YOU DONT THINK THIS CONSTITUTES A DOCTOR VISIT?

u/Own_Opportunity_503 — 27 days ago

Donald Spellman tells us about his self inflicted problem

FIRST: HE’S NOT A FUCKING NEWBORN. HE’S 7 MONTHS OLD NOW. WE ARE SO PAST THE NEWBORN STAGE.

he’s acting like this is just one of those unavoidable sacrifices that comes with having a baby. it’s not btw. i’d simply be furious if my husband even suggested it, ngl. it’s his kid too.

no, donald. you chose to sleep in a separate room because you “need your sleep for work.” nobody made that decision except you.

now you’re writing to all of facebook about how much you miss falling asleep with your wife? i’m sorry, but WHO exactly are you complaining to? yourself? 😂

and let’s not pretend you’re working 18 hour shifts on an oil rig. you act like you’re the sole provider carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders. meanwhile emily is the one doing the nights while you get uninterrupted sleep because your job apparently requires you to be the most well rested man in america.

maybe if you actually slept with your wife instead of treating bedtime like she’s a single mom on the night shift, you’d get those movie nights back. just a thought you stupid fuck. intimacy must be at an all time low

ALSO; if your kid was in a crib like he should be, none of these problems would exist. yall created this situation, and then complain later. you don’t put him down, you force him to sleep in horrible positions on yourself (emily) so that you don’t have to get shit done in your new house.
