To think this girl is a terrible influence on young girls?

You know that if you post something here with a link, she will get loads of hits and therefore be more popular. Why not just describe what she is saying?

I don't think it's more ridiculous than all the kids I know who think they are going to be rappers, or fashion designers or whatever nonsense job they think will make them rich with no work. Presumably this woman is actually making enough money to support her family. Not the world's best role model maybe but no worse than all that vacuous talent show idiots.

How does she live off YouTube fame?

I suppose it is done through advertising. A bit like the drunken makeup tutorials or the girls who look dress like Japanese Dolls (google Dakota Rose or Venus Angelic) - they make a fortune, millions of dollars.

Well you haven't given much information and there's no point in me watching the video, my sound doesnt work, but...

Had my DS not died I would have been 21 with 3 DC under 2!

I got married at 18, twins born when I was 19. DS died when he was 17 months and DD2 was born 3 months later.

You don't say if she wants a life on benefits with no intention of her or her BF ever working or if he works to support them.

You say she's "living off youtube", does this mean she earns money from the videos?

TBH I don't know if I think YABU or not (I would have to watch the video) but I do think you are being very judgmental about "young" mums, and at 21 she is a woman not a girl.

Yabu. Very easy to judge a situation based on how it looks written down. 3 DC by 21 , how dreadful. When in reality she's still with the father (I presume by bf), she's making a living for herself WAH and therefore once again I assume not living off the state and I'll bet she's a great mother. Not all teen mums are Vicky Pollard's you know, just the media tripe likes to have you all believe it. Plus it's entirely her choice to have children and have that as her vocation in life, not every woman wants anything more and you know what? That is FINE.

I don't think the OP is criticising young mums, I took it as the lack of aspirations and the means to actually take care of the children that were being criticised. I agree with that side of it, I haven't watched the video (nor am I going to) but glamorising having lots of children without the means to support them is wrong. Yes, she might have got her YouTube income but she's teaching her children that being self sufficient is an afterthought. I think this can be the case with parents of all ages though, I know a lot of circumstances mean people can't work/receive an education etc, but there's nothing sadder than those who choose not to help themselves and feel entitled to as much as they want.

3 children by 18 would be pretty grim, but 3 by 21, while not the Boden ideal, isn't the end of the world.

Also, by videoblogging - mummyblogging, in fact! how muddke class! - she is earning enough to support her family as opposed to being on benefits, and although it might not be the more realistic career for her fans to aspire to, few "famous" careers are.

No, it might not be what you want your daughter to aspire to but morally it's no worse than idolising Rihanna.

I have a friend who "lives off YouTube". He posts tutorial videos for Playstation 3 car racing games like Gran Turismo and makes roughly £900 a month from it. I don't quite get how it works, something to do with each view gets him pence, each click through to an advert from his page gets him pounds.

I do know he works damn hard, some of his videos can take him 8 or 9 hours to produce 3 minutes of useable footage (after all he has to win the race, or the tutorial is useless).

And yes, he is fully registered with HMRC as self - employed.

In answer to your questions, I think YABU and out of touch. I watched a fe seconds of one of her videos and saw her engaging her young children in play and enjoying their company. I personally wouldn't want my child all over Youtube for strangers to watch but then I'm probably out of touch too!

Live and let live I say.

Fact is there are already young mums out there - do they not deserve a role model?

YouTube pays you a certain amount a month to upload videos which have a high number of viewers.

The more viewers = more money.

You can earn a decent amount from doing this.

LadyFlumpalot I know someone who does this too and Thats pretty much how it works, he gets so much per hit onto his Youtube channel. Between that and lecturing games manufacturers in America (directly because of his Youtube walkthroughs) he is building his own house, fully paid for at the age of 24.
OP I'm not saying her videos could lead to that much success but she is doing something to supplement her income. 'living off Youtube' can be a valid source of income for canny people these days...
Btw, 3 children at 21? So what? A friend of mine had 2 by the age of 17. Twins who are now a credit to their Mum and Dad (still together) and loving sisters to their siblings (all 4 of them).
YABU and judgy.

After watching one video I really don't think she is a bad influence. Her partner works, she's breastfeeding her twins still who are 14 months old and she obviously adores her kids. I'd say she's a good role model for young mums actually.

Actually op I think you are being unreasonable, I have just watched a video where it shows a normal day in her life and it starts at 2am, then shows her up at 3am and then she talks about how hard potty training has been and how her daughter has been sick. I wouldn't say she's made it look easy and even if she does find it easy then good for her, why should she not be allowed to find it easy just because she's young

Accually, Its about a 22 year old girl named Jessica Roque, who lives with her husband and has an almost 3 year old daughter named Lilia and 14 month twin boys, Kyson and Kaden. She has her life together and in no way is she promoting teen pregnancy. Drake, her husband has a job and they do not have more kids to make money off of youtube. You dont know her full story, no one truly does even someone who has watched all her videos. She can most defiantly handle a fourth, so leave her alone. Also as a teen mom myself, i would like to say that its not easy, but she is doing one heck of a job. So go ahead and watch the video! give her views:) /watch?v=BOjhL-nxWyc

Just watched the video in your link and switched off after about 13 seconds as it was just crashingly boring. To put it bluntly, who the F cares about her family?!

I understand that her situation is definitely not ideal, but I think that you're overlooking some details. She was on birth control when she get pregnant at 17, with her boyfriend of 4 years, as a senior in high school. She graduated with honors and had her baby after that. She then went right to college in the fall. Her and her boyfriend mutually broke up. She later met another man whom she had known as a teenager, and they started dating. She was once again on birth control and got pregnant, this time with twins. They got married while she was pregnant, and she gave birth to her baby boys a couple months after that. Fast forward two and a half years, and there you are. She's in college full time, studying to be come a nurse. She's a YouTube partner, which means she has built up her channel enough to earn money from it. She's responsible enough to raise a family in a house she bought. Even though you don't agree with her choices, don't bash her life.
