How is it that no one has posted TT from <1000?

Her photos make my skin crawl. Hell, everything about her house--no, her life--makes my skin crawl.
Daniel sleeps UNDER the crib like the damn troll in a Brothers Grimm story. Poor kid.

creative idea! Do you not use a fitted sheet for the bottom mattress?

Rhonda, Daniel is nearly potty trained for nights, but not quite, so when we have an accident it is much simpler to just clean the mattress.
Certainly makes me feel better about the basket of laundry yet to be put away in DD's room.
Why is there a keyboard mounted to the wall?
How the hell do you clean the mattress?
(and does anyone else think that that much 'cave' wish from a kid is weird? I get the 'trundle bed' thing (although mattress on the floor = not sufficient) but the kid not wanting it pulled out? yeah, not good.
I say that as someone who slept in the 'hammock' created between the bed and the wall as a kid--but that had a lot to do w/ undiagnoised ADHD and the need to not overstimulate)
Any suggestions she gets will be deleted or met with defense. For a Christian woman she has absolutely no humility. Not to mention the lack of common sense.
You can have the best behaved children and and have things very well baby-proofed. That doesn't stop tragic accidents from happening. She's setting up the dominoes to come crashing down on her kids.
Brimming with color, fun AND DANGER!!!
The swinging danger shelves are going to end badly. And WTF at the keyboard? I assume that is some sort of educational typing toy??
I understand the kid liking to sleep under the crib. When we slept over at my grandparent's house we always slept under their bed. I'm not sure how it started, but it seemed like great fun. And if I lived in such a tiny apartment with that many other people, I'd be searching for a little hole I could call my own, too. It might give him some feeling of control that he doesn't get anywhere else.
I just a friendly gal looking for options.

I made a pig, a duck, and a cow along with the horses, but the other animals didn't withstand the wear of the room.
OK, so the animals she "made" didn't survive that room, but she expects her children to make it out alive? Why is the goal to have two children sleeping UNDER a crib? This woman must have the biggest set ever to be this crazy and to let it all hang out on the interwebz.
Gah, the crib drives me nuts (though it isn't the only thing). Paint it white, leave it black - one or the other, EK. One or the other.
Also, the shelves hang over the crib. I see the kid climbing out of the crib by scaling the selves. I see the kid jumping in the crib, gouging his eyeball on the corner of the shelf, while the mattress and springs crash under the weight of the jumping, squashing the other kid underneath.
Crap...I Mean Crafts
OK, let me start by saying I agree that she is 100% gross and that CPS should be called.
But I think I can explain the mattress thing. If it fits under a crib, I'm guessing it's a crib-sized mattress. All of those basically have a vinyl/plastic outer material anyway. So it probably is indeed easier to just clean the mattress.
But that also means her kid is sleeping on straight plastic, which just can't be comfortable.
