Fff oh man. I'm watching Queen of Versailles. Holy hell this is culture shock right here.
LiberBEARian
Basically it's a documentary that follows a billionaire family trying to build the biggest house of America, and then they get hit bad by the financial crisis of 2008 and have to sell off tons of shit
LiberBEARian
Kids go to public school, let go of 7,000 people in their business, sell off $350 million of assets, etc
LiberBEARian
So they just let go about 15 domestic workers in their home, gardeners and housekeepers and nannies and now all their pets keep dying because the kids don't know how to take care of them
LiberBEARian
And it's weird because there's such a disconnect between their lives and everyone else's but they seem like genuinely nice people? IDK
CricketMomJenn
Holy crap.
LiberBEARian
Yes their lizard and all their fish just went belly-up
LiberBEARian
One kid responded "I didn't even know we had a lizard"

The mother is in tears because she's now realizing her eight kids are going to have to go to college instead of living off the family's wealth

ok, i'm going to go watch this. i need a good laugh tonight.
LiberBEARian
It's on Netflix, aye
LiberBEARian
And you think you're going to laugh but you actually end up getting weirdly attached
LiberBEARian
And then you just feel kind of bad for them
coochie scarf
prrrrrobably not. :/
graNma sWeetie
sounds like something id spitefully laugh at
Dᴇᴢᴀsᴛᴇʀ
...oh no, college :|
LiberBEARian
Fffff
Dᴇᴢᴀsᴛᴇʀ
This does sound like an interesting watch, though...
graNma sWeetie
"oh i have eight kids ... oh no i suddenly have to deal with eight kids!!!"
graNma sWeetie
fuck you for having 8 kids to begin with
coochie scarf
LiberBEARian
I think they have more than eight, the eight is just from the current wife
Dᴇᴢᴀsᴛᴇʀ
ajkdhsf
graNma sWeetie
then fuck them even more
graNma sWeetie
limit on children should be four tops
LiberBEARian
It gets kind of sad where there's this one seven year old kid who feels much more attached to his nanny that he sleeps next to her in her bed when he has nightmares.
CricketMomJenn

graNma sWeetie
children aren't fucking pets
graNma sWeetie
you can't just have a bunch of them and then put them in a cage and expect things to be ok
LiberBEARian
This is a nanny who'd given up raising her own kid to come to America to send money back and hadn't seen her son in like fifteen years
CricketMomJenn
;A;
LiberBEARian
"I never would have had so many children if I thought there was a time I wouldn't have a nanny" Yep there it is
LiberBEARian
The thing I get creeped out by is that the mother keeps taxidermying her dead dogs and putting them in glass cages around the house in front of her living dogs
graNma sWeetie
fucking hate these people
CricketMomJenn
adsfasfasdfasdf
graNma sWeetie
already
Mυrder Mυғғιɴ
Wait until her kids start dropping because she doesn't know how to take care of them either.

Glass cages in front of her living kids.

money management what is it...
LiberBEARian
Ffff the kids ride segways in the house
CricketMomJenn
Uhm...
Dᴇᴢᴀsᴛᴇʀ
so basically they have almost no concept of financial priorities... like don't waste money taxidermying your pets when you need to make sure the ones that are still alive STAY alive
LiberBEARian
I think the taxidermy was before the financial crisis, this doesn't all happen at once. Once the family gets hit with the recession they start being a lot smarter and more realistic
coochie scarf
oh good.
LiberBEARian
Fff oh fuck I take everything back. The nanny just moved into the kids' playhouse.

Oh also the head of the family was one of the people who came out and said he was going to fire people if Obama got elected. And he sued the filmmaker for defamation.
Hyatt
well there go some sympathy points

TOLD YOU
graNma sWeetie
THEY WERE ALL COCKSUCKERS THE WHOLE TIME
