I am married I would so mad if my husband claimed to be a solo parent my husband an I work opposite shifts so someone is always home with the kids I would be livid if he acted like I wasn't around, an its a complete insult to all of you parents that are actually solo parents thats not an easy job an you deserve respect for that
there is a difference between solo and single. Im pretty sure i saw a video and he addressed it, his wife and him are constantly 1 on with the kids. they both work insane hours and barely see each other. his solo parenting is his pov on parenting while his spouse is at work. also his wife does not wanna be on camera. there is only one video known where she was briefly on it. i'm not here to defend him or anything but i'm sharing knowledge. i took a deep dive one day because of a cold and flu video. solo parenting is often used in term for military families who are overseas and not home. Ie; a mom taking care of her kids while husband is deployed vise versa. single parenting is often used to describe someone who doesn't have a s/o or partner.
I love that you talk about your wife in a positive light. And that you completely respect the privacy of not only her, but your children. Much respect to you, Josh.
@disneydarling0821 I am just stating he has said in past videos that he is married. How am I whining? He complains a lot. I said one time what he does in every video. I would like to see different content.
More people are talking about it now, thank goodness! What REALLY bothered me was in his comments there were women telling him to start a GoFundMe!! That’s how much they believe he is broke and on his own. It’s ridiculous that he doesn’t mention his wife more, even if he doesn’t show her. There isn’t even a picture of the two of them in the background of his videos from what I’ve ever seen.. not sure if that is done on purpose.
@ seriously! I looked at every video comments just HOPING more people would see and call out the BS. But nope, just hundreds of women trying to offer support and advise and donations! Just absolutely sick he would guilt moms into financially giving to him- knowing damn well he’s just just fine. So low.
Agree. I’ve only seen two or three of his reels or shorts and they didn’t have the kids in them. I felt like something was off about him because the comments were people asking why his house and car are always trashed. He replied by saying that he pretty much lets the mess pile up for a few days for content.
Also, when you work in health care, you should not be wear your scrubs around your kids (or around the house in general) AFTER your shift. Maybe that's why they get sick often...
YES they come off the moment you enter the home! 💯 % I used to do bedside care and now I’m at a desk, but still in a hospital so I still take them off immediately.
A lot of his content is staged. His scrubs look too clean to have been worked in. He probably pretends to have just come back from work and just puts the scrubs on like a costume ...so they are clean
100%! My mom used to change into street clothes at work so she didn't bring that home. She also changed into her scrubs at work so they were as clean as possible for her patients. A lot of offices are now going to a system where the company launders the scrubs and they require their staff to change at the office in order to cut down on pet dander, smells and so that all the scrubs look super clean and wrinkle free. Also, since COVID a lot of offices that have the practices name on the scrubs don't want their staff to wear those scrubs out in the community because so many people now realize how gross that is and it can make their practice look bad.
The Solo Dad is an effing Physician Assistant (PA) and his wife is a Nurse, they easily make $200,000. If you want to thrift shop, thats fine but don't make people think you live in poverty.
FUCKING THIS!!! The deception is unreal. & dude has the audacity to reply to comments on his videos about how great he is as a single dad. I am so happy he covered this- maybe his “fans” will actually wake tf up and realize they are being intentionally deceived for their time & views
Im in Minnesota and it Depends on if ur into a hospital or what department in the hospital also if you are clinic/urgent care or even hospice and home care. My aunts are in hospital one has a set schedule in the wing she works my other aunt at the same hospital is switched between the 2 with so many days off between. My cousin is in labor and delivery and she is switched between the 2 with 5 days off
Came to say this. Here in NJ, every hospital I ever worked in. There’s day shift or night shift. & you stick to it unless you pick up a shift for someone on your day off.
Thank you for talking about Solo Dad!! The thing that concerns me the most is him showing his kids faces and also having their PO Box public. I used a fake man account to say creepy things, like “hey that’s so crazy, I live in the same state as the PO Box, I want to meet your kids” (I don’t) but he didn’t delete the comments. I commented about him having a wife and those were deleted. He knows what he’s doing and it’s sick that the wife is letting him do it too. These kids were put online without their consent
I’m sorry for your loss. This is absolutely abhorrent! I hope he gets cancelled and those kids get to live normal lives. Shame on them and I wish you well
I am new and just remembered you are in Canada. Idk where this guy is US or Canada. The US still has midnight shift nurses and day shift nurses,at least in every hospital Ive worked at. So it's possible to always work one or the other. Your points are still valid.
The solo dad thing really just pissed me off as a widowed single mother who does so many different jobs while her child is at school to make ends meet like I'm literally doing doordash right now because I'm off from my other two jobs
You’re doing great ❤ your child might not understand your sacrifice, but I recognize your hard work and they will one day. take care of yourself and have a great weekend
hope you're doing ok. I can imagine how hard solo parenting is let alone when it's bc you are a widow. I'm sorry and hope things play out well in the future for you.
I hope you're both okay. XhugsX I was widowed at 31, and whilst I don't have children, the grief is still as fresh twelve years later. XhugsX Tou may qualify for a widowed mother's allowance, or some form of bereavement allowance. It may be worth looking into. XhugsX XhugsX XhugsX
You covering solo dad. Thank you. As a single parent working 40 hours with 3 kids. No child support and juggling appointments, school, house work, rent, bills, and on a 37 dollar a day budget. That ENRAGES me, the absolute disrespect for to the men and women actually struggling and doing alone… I don’t even have a RUclips channel but I want to make a video just addressing how disrespectful he is for portraying himself that way…
But sadly, you couldn’t make a channel and make hundreds of thousands of dollars off social media because you’re just an average single mom in America and that is a really messed up reality that we live in. And if anyone hasn’t told you lately, you’re doing an awesome job Mom keep it up 🫶
Our niece is the absolute single parent to her two little boys. They are six and three. Dad completely out of the picture since last pregnancy. We try to help as much as we can as do her parents. She is always so exhausted, working working working. When she has to travel, her mum heads to their city and we look after Granpa since his heart attack! As a proud Canadian 🇨🇦, enlistment has risen thirty percent in less than a month. We live not too far from a base and talk to the people there. Remember the battle and Canada burned the White House? Canadians are really nice until they aren’t! And all these Canadians working hard on the fires of LA? Quietly, efficiently helping and risking their lives! That’s what neighbours do!
RKH Media just did a video on her, which is pretty good. I just watched it while waiting for Josh to upload. He doesn't snark like Josh, so I really hope he gets a video up soon about her and her husband.
I know I've asked him months ago on a few videos to cover Niki Diwa. I'm so fricken happy people are asking. Literally checking his channel every day waiting for him to find the bullshit she posts and snark the hell out of her
Thank you for covering this. I saw a comment on one of his videos praising him for parenting all alone. Instead of correcting them, he said “thank you ❤”. Every one of his videos I comment “say hello to your awesome wife for us” 😂
This is such a kick in the face to the REAL SOLO PARENTS!! I only had one son but one son that kept my life busy and heart full. I've actually had to miss Christmas. Pay for everything and actually DO EVERYTHING!!!!!! Ive raised my son through 2 open heart surgeries as well as a few other surgeries. He's now 19 with an amazing heart but I still wish he had the opportunity ro have both parents.
Are you single or are you solo parenting? I was a single mum and had to do it all on my own so I get it. That was single parenting. I did not have a partner. Now I solo parent when my partner is away at work (in the mines so flies out and works for two weeks straight, flies home for a week etc then out again etc) while he is away there is not other parent in the home. I am doing it on my own, solo. But I’m not single. There is a partner, there is another parent who will return to the home and then we parent together. It sounds like you were a single parent. Which is so hard because there’s never ANY respite, you really are just on your own doing it alone. It’s incredibly hard, you’re amazing for raising your son through all that and doing that all by yourself x
Omg thank you for talking about the solo dad, he has been bugging me for months!!! I was raised mostly by an actual single dad and this fraud makes me so mad
Shari’s book is so good I can’t stop listening. Makes me realize how important it is what you’re doing, and what a win it is that abbey fickley’s daughter now has privacy. Thank you for doing what you do!!
It’s so good but so heartbreaking. I’m about 3/4 of the way through it and have cried more times than I can count, I just can’t understand how mother could ever treat their children the way she did their entire lives. I had hoped that the silver lining was the physical abuse didn’t start until Jody came in. Not that it would make it OK obviously but at least they didn’t have to suffer through that their entire lives but unfortunately, now we know that that’s not the case..
I listened to Shari's book the minute it was released and it broke my heart. I am looking forward to hearing what Josh has to say about Derrick. I was outraged, and still am. I won't say what I think should have happened to him(I told Shari on IG) so I won't spoil it for those who haven't read the book yet. I am so happy Shari was finally able to have a voice, for her and all of her siblings 💝
June’s sweet, sweet face when Josh started the audiobook melted my heart! She was so curious! What precious pups, I love that they are present in the videos 🐾✨
I’m finding Shari’s audio book reminding me of Janette Mcgurdy’, “I’m glad my mother died”, their voices even sound the same it’s wild. I finished Shari’s book. It’s so good. So well done.
I’ve worked in healthcare for all my life. There are definitely a lot of workers who strictly work nights/mornings. And have opposite shits from their spouse. But, it’s 12 hour shifts usually if you’re a nurse so only 3 days a week.
He’s definitely calling her “the spousal partner” to distance himself from her with cold language and imply they are not together without outright lying.
He said, "spouse or partner" ... However, he shouldn't have said it like that regardless because he's purposely making it shady and avoiding the truth!
I'm a nurse and when I worked in the hospital, I only worked day shift. Rotating schedules do exist, but a lot of hospitals hire for either days or nights.
@@Kloetenhenne are you good? That was their entire point. Josh is from Canada. These people are from the u s and were simply noting to josh that nursing schedules in the u.s may be different from Canada and what he is used to.
1 million subscribers is for sure in your future! I only just discovered your channel and have been hooked ever since. Really appreciate your HILARIOUS perspective and shared hatred for family vloggers ❤
I did watch bonnie video. I have an opinion on what she said and she cut out a lot of crying and didn't let ruby off the hook and had pride in shari and agreed to a certain extent. Lets see what josh opinion is on bonnie video
I’m almost positive he works at NCH in Naples. Pretty sure he’s done my bloodwork. That’s 100% the Target in Coconut Point (Fort Myers). His PO Box is Fort Myers and his house 100% has to be $400,000+. In his most recent Target video he says “I’m not gonna steal like that one tiktoker”. She lives here. Pretty sure he’s done lives in Estero.
Hearing about the solo Dad, it makes me sick because people do not know what it is to be a father raising children by their themselves. My dad raised me and my sister as a solo dad because my mom passed away and we were poor living on a fixed income, so I hate when people have to lie like this. I just give credit to the Dad’s out there who are raising their children, especially girls by themselves.
My cousin is a Physician’s Assistant and his wife is an RN. They are very well off. They lived in the same neighborhood as JJ Watt when JJ lived in Houston. This man is PLAYING the internet for money and it’s insane. Edit-oh and they also have 2 or 3 toddlers. So they do not have disposable incomes.
I’m so glad you are calling out these disgusting liars!! Shame on him and his wife! Absolutely gross to pretend you are a struggling single parent when you have no idea what it’s like to walk in our shoes. Makes me so sad! You absolutely have no integrity for doing this!
Solo Dad must’ve learned from Matt Howard that you’re marketable as a “solo parent” anytime you’re alone with your own children and responsible for keeping them alive.
Same thing with Lexi Dennis. She watched her kids while her husband was at a dr’s appt. She called it solo parenting. Ma’am it is called being a parent. 😂
My husband was sent to Anasazi because he didn’t like school and skipped school one day. His parents thought he was depressed and instead of letting him homeschool for awhile or helping in some other way they took him to a church approved counselor (not Jodi thank goodness) and that counselor suggested Anasazi. He was there for 70 days. He was 14. It is crazy to hear what he was living on and seeing pictures of him at the end. By the end of those 70 days he was so happy to see his dad that he never was mad at them for it. It’s only been recently since people started talking about it online that he has realized how messed up it was. They later sent his sister there too.
Edited to add: I DO believe you will make it to a 1mil subscribers! I really do! Refreshed all morning then my mom called.....lol!! STILL here, of course!!
My husband was like you @Josh. He cleaned when I was out doing my volunteer work...did laundry..changed cloth diapers..etc. In exchange..because I loved being outside..i mowed our lawn. I did the deep cleaning the 2 weeks he was fishing or hunting and out of my way...he passed 7 years ago so I have it all but loved having a great relationship where things were equal....
The spousal partner bit killed me. I laughed for about 10 minutes straight In all seriousness, the following part about the consciousness of privacy is very real and it is exactly what most people sadly miss. They are aware of what privacy means and that it is something people need to earn and value. When all of them come down, we need to remember to not feel bad for them because they are very much in control here and they are aware of the consequences... They don't feel bad at all for their kids. They might not even feel anything at all for their kids. Let's never feel bad for people like this no matter how good and genuine they seem, or how much they struggle when they fall from glory.
“I’m taking 10% off the top” while she wasn’t paying her kids for using them in content. My jaw literally dropped when I heard that line from Shari Franke’s book.
As an actual solo parent I was disgusted to find out he’d been misleading people this whole time. I unsubscribed as soon as I saw behind the screens video on it.
I had to replay @17:20 when you did the air quotes of solo dad haha! So funny! I love when these exploiters are called out in a demeaning manner, great content as always!
My daughter’s dad and I worked at the same place, but we were on opposite 12 hour shifts, so if i worked monday and tuesday, he worked wednesday and thursday. Saved a lot because we didn’t need daycare. I never would have called myself a “solo” parent though. Now I have been a “single” parent for many years now :)
His house is disgusting. Absolutely filthy. It looks like he allows his kids to make a mess so he can film himself cleaning it up. Those kids have to live in that environment 😷
I’ve never heard of a nursing schedule where shifts between day and night are rotated. Where I live in NJ, USA you’re either a day shift nurse or a night shift nurse and that’s it. I like the idea of switching though, would probably work better when staff is short.
I’m glad they don’t, hospitals would exploit that and encourage or pressure staff to work without ample time off between when short staffed. They don’t care about staff or patients, just meeting their needs and bottom dollar.
My husband works shift work in the engineering field. I feel like this would be so bad for nurses/ hospital staff. By the 3rd night, he is almost coherent, can't tell him anything important, or he will either not hear me or forget about it. He works 4 days, 4 nights, 3 days, 3 nights. It's brutal! That sounds dangerous for hospital staff who are charge of people health.
Where I'm from in the US, it's very common to rotate shifts. I often go from nights to days and back to nights all in the same week. It's not easy on the body, that's for sure.
He wants to quit his career and go full time online. Which I think is so disrespectful to other people who can’t afford to go through school to get an amazing career, just for him to toss it away on all lies!
12:17 i didn’t realize how different y’all’s hospitals are from the U.S. My mom was a labor & delivery nurse for 32 years and her hospital had day shift, night shift, rotating, and PRN. nurses worked a set 7am-7pm or 7pm-7am. they didn’t alternate between day and night shifts; they were either a day shift or night shift
Oh my gosh the last part had me laughing so hard, I wanted...no I needed to take a drink but I just didn't dare! Hearing/seeing Josh laugh made me laugh even harder! It really made my day, everyone needs a good laugh and those videos and comments really hit the spot. I laughed so hard I scared the cat and my cheeks hurt so thank you for that Josh. ps...is there any way I can buy a hoodie that says, "I'll see you, when I see you" I love that ending! Okay, taking a deep breath now 🤗Keep doing what you do because Sir, you are great at it!!
He pulling the kids out of Day Care bc it’s $800 for 2 weeks. He didn’t get the email in time so now he has to wait another 2 weeks and pay another $800! 🙄 The whole situation is FRUSTRATING BC the kids are always sick, house trashed, shopping solo and it’s absolutely deceptive! WHY? For $??? 🙄
@ well when it’s shown how does one know the difference 🤷♀️ I’m being genuine as idk what’s true or not ya know? Whenever I’ve viewed a video he’s always stating (well usually not always) laundry, dishes, toys etc. just curious why doesn’t his wife assist more? Does she live there or 🤔 not that it’s my business however the “pity party” isn’t funny anymore 🥺 I feel like a horses a@@ for even sending what I have to “help them”
I saw one lady saying he should start a GoFundMe and another saying that she is going to give him money soon just like she did before. I know it helps his engagement, but I commented on a few comments like that explaining that he is making bank and he is married. I get so frustrated with grifters like him scamming mostly single moms out of their hard earned money because they think he is in their shoes and they feel bad for him.
@ exactly! I use to feel for him but when I found out a while ago he’s married, profession etc I was so dang mad! I know I’m not the only one. I think it is SO wrong being so deceptive and using people” such as this. I’ll never watch another video of his again. Once a deceptive thief always a deceptive thief. Just WRONG! One of my biggest pet peeves is a liar!
Thank you for sharing this information. I always say my son is a single parent however, I now realize that he is a solo dad. My son is raising his 2 kiddos and mom lives several states away.
Can you just do an entire video of reacting to the reels? Your laugh is super contagious and I am always crying laughing at the end of these segments 😂😂
Past military mom here, Canadian military has more involvement than what we have all been led to understand and believe!! We hold our own and should be very proud!!
JOSH! i love how much you kick out videos - cuz i’ve been binging you since i found you and im starting to run out of vids 😂 love your videos so much! ♥️ you’ve definitely opened my eyes alottt
Solo dad is a Physician assistant, meaning he can write scripts order diagnostic test, assist in surgery. They make anywhere from $132.00 - $165.00 a year. So how this man saids he’s poor is insane!
he took his sick child to Target with him.. Why didn't he or his wife pick it up after work??! And also if u have kids at home, u make sure u have these basic medications at home. Looks like he tries to stage these things to show how much he struggles .
glad youre calling this guy out, his shorts would show up for me, I thought he was an only parent until I read comments of people calling him out, what a trashy person
I agree our healthcare system here sucks. My Dad recently has had heart issues and he collapsed on me Oct 24 and I rushed to call 911. When the paramedics arrived he told them he couldn't afford the hospital bill, but the firewoman goes sir, you're in AFIB you have to go. Thank God for Medicare. His hospital bill ended up only being 120 dollars. Without it it would have been over 5,000.
Yes! Can't wait to watch this. I finished this jaw-dropping book at midnight last night after starting it in the afternoon. I couldn't put it down. It was all so much worse than we thought. We should accept that Kevin was a victim, but I also believe he is spineless and an unfit father.
Kevin was part of sending Chad away !!! If my husband didn't see his kids for 2 hrs after he is here he is looking for them !!! Kevin is not innocent he abandoned his kids !!!!!!!! And my husband sure wouldn't be defending me or worried about me at all if I hurt our kids !!! Kevin a victim that's ridiculous !! There are laws that keep u from being a victim but u gotta use them he is pathetic piece of $hit !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He’s definitely been giving off the vibe “oh woe is me I’m here all alone, raising 3 kids, keeping house, trying to work full time and I know I’m gorgeous” to get the attention of women and single mums who say they know exactly how he feels!
I hate when people with money buy things from thrift stores, especially when they do it to re-sell it… They take away all the good stuff from the people who NEED to buy from the thrift store because they can’t afford a regular store.
Plenty of people buy from thrift stores because they don’t want to contribute to environmental waste. It is better for the environment to buy previously owned things.
Idk it's kinda a double edged sword. Sure, people with more money can buy new, but buying 2nd hand helps reduce the stuff that ends up in landfills 🤷🏼♀️
How do you think we have more money?? Basic financial responsibility dictates that the less you spend on frivolous stuff, the more you have to save/invest. I’m gonna die with more money than I’ll ever be able to spend, but you’re not gonna catch me throwing it around and spending it on brand new items all the time. I get the resell thing. That’s kinda lame, but I don’t think the rest holds water. I know plenty of people who should be buying used but buy brand new all the time. And that’s their business!
i wholeheartedly agree with the reseller part but playing off of what the commenters above mentioned… thrift stores do help to somewhat mitigate the waste from mass produced bs, over-consumption, fast fashion, etc. i completely understand your frustrations though. my parents live in a pretty middle to high class area and there’s a goodwill right down the road. hardly any of the people in there ever look like they’re struggling and a lot come super early to get all the good stuff before anyone else can.
I just learned a new term. I am solo. I could literally afford to buy my 3 youngest children 1 item for Christmas and my oldest son is getting an afghan made by me. I am still working on it ( adhd makes me imagine that I can craft far faster than I can 😂) time blindness is a blast lol. I am proud to say that he is excited for me to finish it and loves the progress pics I send him. I am so incredibly lucky because all of my boys were so thankful and excited for their gifts.
Thank you I had a look, couldn’t finish it, she’s ridiculous to say that Shari’s opinion on ethical family bloggers is based on her experience with her mom, so she’s ok continuing, she’s totally ignoring the fact her children are going to read criticism about them and their family online, question every relationship in their life’s, have the videos following them into adulthood, to every job they have etc etc etc. Saying she is nothing like her sister so she’s ok is so tone deaf it’s embarrassing.
This is a reminder to never take anything or anyone precious for granted Our one and a half year old puppy, Ivy tragically lost her life Wednesday and my whole family are absolutely heartbroken she was a huge part of our family and literally the sweetest dog I’ve ever met, she was a black lab My dad hasn’t been this hurt and depressed since his mom passed, it’s truly taking a toll on all of us💔 Thanks for the laughs and distractions josh
Just read Shari’s book last night and I have so much respect for her. What a strong girl she is - I hope everyone has the chance to read her story and support her ❤ What she went through is pure hell - mentally and physically. Whoever Derek is should be thrown in jail as well - what a disgusting monster.
I'm so proud of her for releasing this, it must of been very difficult to recount these memories in order to show us exactly what life her and her siblings have lead. It is well written. I have the audio book and you csn hear the pain in her voice in many moments. It's hard to listen too at points, it's horrifying and there's so much trauma. These poor children will likely be in therapy for the rest of their lives. Ruby and Jodi should NEVER be let out of prison. They should rot in there! They make me sick and my blood boil. Jodi is a repressed, angry closeted lesbian with a God complex, she's narcissistic, sadistic and utterly insane! There's no rehabilitation for that.
I finished the book, I’m astounded and as the eldest,parentifed daughter of not one but, two malignant narcissist who trashed my siblings life’s in a divorce…. I wept through the last chapter. I shed a few tears as well… there was a part of the book where she explains seeing the photos of RF the 1st time and how all of us talking about it affected her family. I had never thought about that… she mentioned that a documentary company was following them. I can’t wait to see that documentary. The fact that she suffered SA at the hands of “ Derek” I’m sure that’s not his real name was completely shocking and quite frankly goes to show we have NO idea what someone is going thru.
After reading Shari’s book, I can’t help but feel bad for Ruby. As Shari’s mother, she’ll never truly feel the pride that Shari deserves for her bravery, honestly, her strength and resilience. She’ll never really understand just how remarkable her children are, and that’s heartbreaking.
That is NOT how nursing in hospitals works in my state. Here you work 12 hr shifts and you are either 7 p to 7 a or reverse, you don't go back and forth.
Oh, but Bonnie did a whole video on the book today. She listened to it in her earbuds so her family didn’t hear it. And sounds like she hasn’t talked to any of the Franke family since…though she is trying to sound like she is supportive, it oozes she hasn’t talked to them.
OMG Finally. Solo dad was all over my fyp for some reason and I legitimately thought he was a widower. People really do weird shit for likes😂 like no one in his family has called him out? Like if this was my bro I’d be all over his comments like WTF are you talking about?!??! You and baby mama still together, married but works different shifts 😮 bro that’s not solo parenting!!!!
Hes smart...he knows what the audience what. His audience is majority female and he plays to their sympathy ...also their wish that their husbands would help out as much as he does,
I thought the same thing. I only watched solodad like two times but I did believe mom was not in the picture at all and the grandma. Watched the kids on the overnight. Wow crazy how he lies
She either does absolutely nothing allll day & never picks up OR he just tells her to leave it ALLL there so he can film when he gets home!!! And oh my gosh the comment about her having privacy & letting him exploit the kids!! So sad 😢
Yes! I’ve seen when he supposedly gets home and the house is trashed. And he’s going to clean it, not her? The whole situation is confusing and weird. He’s making it like he’s the hero.
@@jessicanolan733 Exactly. And if anything, he's making is wife look bad for not helping around the house. If that's the case. I think the mess is left for content at this point.
When I read the part where she said, “where would I go?” I was devastated my kids have 3 aunts and I guarantee if they were ever sick of me the only difficult choice they’d have is which aunt do I want to go to. How can she have so much family yet have no where to go?
What a weirdo!!! If he’s a PA he is definitely not poor. And guess what buddy. A lot of us have to work full time and take care of kids and a household. He acts like he’s the only one. He needs to be canceled!
As a Canadian living in the southern United States there is a misrepresentation of US healthcare. The Canadian health care system is garbage. You can’t get help when you need it. Sure you don’t necessarily need to pay for it but you may die waiting (which has happened)
I have employer provided insurance, costs me 24 dollars a month & I have paid 10 dollars for all my healthcare expenses in the last 5 years lol. There are DEF problems with the industry & uninsured people do get punished but it isn’t all horror stories.
Hello Josh thank you for addressing the solo dad situation, and as for the Shari Franke book, Bonnie is doing a reaction video on the book, so I figured you’d want to check that out.
I wish that for just 1 day this “Solodad” could actually live the life that he is claiming he has, He couldn’t even put himself in that position mentally because he absolutely has no ability to actually comprehend the hardship. Broke???? Try making $14,000 for the entire year working every free moment you had at night so that you could take your child to the hospital during the day for radiation, chemo, blood transfusions ect….. Tired??? Try getting 2 hours of sleep a night so you could do said things above. Pretending to try and feed you and small kids 1 meal with $10??? Try feeding a family of 4 with $10 for the entire day, he would quickly realize that he would have to go without sometimes for days to ensure that his family had. This guy couldn’t live the life he is acting like he lives, he couldn’t even handle taking his kids to the grocery store. And people are gullible if they believed him!!! Just look at his house he has in most his videos, it’s massive and full of expensive stuff, nobody who was actually broke could afford that!! But you know what, we have something that he doesn’t, a true appreciation for each other and to just be alive!!!

Thanks Josh and Tyson!! For everything!!
Bought 2 wallets over the holidays for the guys in my life and they both LOVE them, especially my son! Thanks Josh for the recommendation!
Tyson and Josh, cannot wait to check this out as soon as I finish the video!!
Also, Tyson is so dang rad 🔥
Did u see Bonnie’s video about the book!?!?! 😱😱😱😱 the AUDACITYYYYY!!! 42:19 @josh
As a truly single and Solo parent, this pisses me off beyond belief. He has no idea how truly difficult it is to raise kids alone
I second, as a truly single and solo parent of two teenagers, since they were 2!
I am married I would so mad if my husband claimed to be a solo parent my husband an I work opposite shifts so someone is always home with the kids I would be livid if he acted like I wasn't around, an its a complete insult to all of you parents that are actually solo parents thats not an easy job an you deserve respect for that
💯💯💯
@@teradrew7555 This💯
there is a difference between solo and single. Im pretty sure i saw a video and he addressed it, his wife and him are constantly 1 on with the kids. they both work insane hours and barely see each other. his solo parenting is his pov on parenting while his spouse is at work. also his wife does not wanna be on camera. there is only one video known where she was briefly on it. i'm not here to defend him or anything but i'm sharing knowledge.
i took a deep dive one day because of a cold and flu video.
solo parenting is often used in term for military families who are overseas and not home. Ie; a mom taking care of her kids while husband is deployed vise versa.
single parenting is often used to describe someone who doesn't have a s/o or partner.
I love that you talk about your wife in a positive light. And that you completely respect the privacy of not only her, but your children. Much respect to you, Josh.
THE SOLO DAD HAD ME THINKING HE WAS A SINGLE PARENT
Lmfao SAME I even commented a while back on a video "soooo what happened to the mother?" No on responded 😅
@londonjoy1545
I wanted to know honestly. I think I asked respectfully.
He has said in at least one video that he is married they work opposite shifts, and she does not want to be on camera. I get tired of his whining.
@ you’re the only one whining though. We’re just stating what we thought. 😂😂
@disneydarling0821 I am just stating he has said in past videos that he is married. How am I whining? He complains a lot. I said one time what he does in every video. I would like to see different content.
I literally thought Solo Dads wife had died or something, the fact that they are still together and just working different shifts is CRAZY
Literally
THANK YOU FOR ADDRESSING THE SOLO DAD!!!!! More people need to be talking about it!
More people are talking about it now, thank goodness! What REALLY bothered me was in his comments there were women telling him to start a GoFundMe!! That’s how much they believe he is broke and on his own. It’s ridiculous that he doesn’t mention his wife more, even if he doesn’t show her. There isn’t even a picture of the two of them in the background of his videos from what I’ve ever seen.. not sure if that is done on purpose.
@ seriously! I looked at every video comments just HOPING more people would see and call out the BS. But nope, just hundreds of women trying to offer support and advise and donations! Just absolutely sick he would guilt moms into financially giving to him- knowing damn well he’s just just fine. So low.
Agree. I’ve only seen two or three of his reels or shorts and they didn’t have the kids in them. I felt like something was off about him because the comments were people asking why his house and car are always trashed. He replied by saying that he pretty much lets the mess pile up for a few days for content.
@@WW-wo4oq he deletes the comments of people calling him out on his lies...
I put a comment about this to Josh yesterday so I'm glad he is covering solo dad.
Also, when you work in health care, you should not be wear your scrubs around your kids (or around the house in general) AFTER your shift. Maybe that's why they get sick often...
YES they come off the moment you enter the home! 💯 % I used to do bedside care and now I’m at a desk, but still in a hospital so I still take them off immediately.
A lot of his content is staged. His scrubs look too clean to have been worked in. He probably pretends to have just come back from work and just puts the scrubs on like a costume ...so they are clean
100%! My mom used to change into street clothes at work so she didn't bring that home. She also changed into her scrubs at work so they were as clean as possible for her patients.
A lot of offices are now going to a system where the company launders the scrubs and they require their staff to change at the office in order to cut down on pet dander, smells and so that all the scrubs look super clean and wrinkle free. Also, since COVID a lot of offices that have the practices name on the scrubs don't want their staff to wear those scrubs out in the community because so many people now realize how gross that is and it can make their practice look bad.
Maybe he really isn’t working then😂😂😭
@@OLIVECLARK I came here looking for this exact comment! My heavens I can only imagine WHAT he brings home no wonder there always sick!!!
The Solo Dad is an effing Physician Assistant (PA) and his wife is a Nurse, they easily make $200,000. If you want to thrift shop, thats fine but don't make people think you live in poverty.
This!! They are definitely far from "broke" ... look at their house ... that's not the home of someone who's broke
I thought he was a widow lmfao damn
FUCKING THIS!!! The deception is unreal. & dude has the audacity to reply to comments on his videos about how great he is as a single dad. I am so happy he covered this- maybe his “fans” will actually wake tf up and realize they are being intentionally deceived for their time & views
@@EricaHope1978that house is fucking massive dude I had to do a double take
Do Nurses in America make that much money? In Germany they get almost nothing. 😮
Should be called "Dad Who Sometimes Has To Care For His Children" 😂😂😂
Dad who babysits whilst mom is at work 😂
And doesn’t do a very good job at it.
Or average dad 😄
Ha, I was just going to say that he probably says he has to babysit his own kids.
Did yall see the video response the solo dad did on RUclips 😂😂😂
In the US, there are specific day shift and night shift nurses, that is very common and you cannot switch between the two. Sincerely, a night shift RN
Came to upvote this comment bc I knew it was here 😂 poor Canadians
Im in Minnesota and it Depends on if ur into a hospital or what department in the hospital also if you are clinic/urgent care or even hospice and home care. My aunts are in hospital one has a set schedule in the wing she works my other aunt at the same hospital is switched between the 2 with so many days off between. My cousin is in labor and delivery and she is switched between the 2 with 5 days off
I wa going to comment this. Thank you for clarifying that
Came to say this. Here in NJ, every hospital I ever worked in. There’s day shift or night shift. & you stick to it unless you pick up a shift for someone on your day off.
I live in Canada and my Mom had the same shifts her whole career 🤷♀️ So I’m not sure what he’s talking about, probably depends on where you live.
Thank you for talking about Solo Dad!! The thing that concerns me the most is him showing his kids faces and also having their PO Box public. I used a fake man account to say creepy things, like “hey that’s so crazy, I live in the same state as the PO Box, I want to meet your kids” (I don’t) but he didn’t delete the comments. I commented about him having a wife and those were deleted. He knows what he’s doing and it’s sick that the wife is letting him do it too. These kids were put online without their consent
Live for the sluething
As a young widow of two small children, anyone calling themselves a solo parent especially this "man" erks me to my core.
I’m sorry for your loss. God bless you.
I’m sorry for your loss. This is absolutely abhorrent! I hope he gets cancelled and those kids get to live normal lives. Shame on them and I wish you well
*irks
Did yall see the video response the solo dad did on RUclips 😂😂😂
@@b1k2q34 yes irks lol
I am new and just remembered you are in Canada. Idk where this guy is US or Canada. The US still has midnight shift nurses and day shift nurses,at least in every hospital Ive worked at. So it's possible to always work one or the other. Your points are still valid.
The solo dad thing really just pissed me off as a widowed single mother who does so many different jobs while her child is at school to make ends meet like I'm literally doing doordash right now because I'm off from my other two jobs
You’re doing great ❤ your child might not understand your sacrifice, but I recognize your hard work and they will one day. take care of yourself and have a great weekend
hope you're doing ok. I can imagine how hard solo parenting is let alone when it's bc you are a widow. I'm sorry and hope things play out well in the future for you.
I hope you're both okay. XhugsX I was widowed at 31, and whilst I don't have children, the grief is still as fresh twelve years later. XhugsX
Tou may qualify for a widowed mother's allowance, or some form of bereavement allowance. It may be worth looking into. XhugsX XhugsX XhugsX
I'm in the exact same position. Widowed mother for 6 years now. It is so hard! Keep going and hustling mama!

You covering solo dad. Thank you.
As a single parent working 40 hours with 3 kids. No child support and juggling appointments, school, house work, rent, bills, and on a 37 dollar a day budget.
That ENRAGES me, the absolute disrespect for to the men and women actually struggling and doing alone… I don’t even have a RUclips channel but I want to make a video just addressing how disrespectful he is for portraying himself that way…
But sadly, you couldn’t make a channel and make hundreds of thousands of dollars off social media because you’re just an average single mom in America and that is a really messed up reality that we live in. And if anyone hasn’t told you lately, you’re doing an awesome job Mom keep it up 🫶
@ your very kind ❤️
How do you only make $37 a day of you work full time??
@ 37 dollar a day budget.. lol
Our niece is the absolute single parent to her two little boys. They are six and three. Dad completely out of the picture since last pregnancy. We try to help as much as we can as do her parents. She is always so exhausted, working working working. When she has to travel, her mum heads to their city and we look after Granpa since his heart attack! As a proud Canadian 🇨🇦, enlistment has risen thirty percent in less than a month. We live not too far from a base and talk to the people there. Remember the battle and Canada burned the White House? Canadians are really nice until they aren’t! And all these Canadians working hard on the fires of LA? Quietly, efficiently helping and risking their lives! That’s what neighbours do!
Thanks for finally covering the solo dad. Now day idk how many asking you cover Nika Diwa and Fluellen fam
RKH Media just did a video on her, which is pretty good. I just watched it while waiting for Josh to upload. He doesn't snark like Josh, so I really hope he gets a video up soon about her and her husband.
I know I've asked him months ago on a few videos to cover Niki Diwa. I'm so fricken happy people are asking. Literally checking his channel every day waiting for him to find the bullshit she posts and snark the hell out of her
Yes please come on Josh!!! Nika Diwa!! And Fluellen family!
I want him to cover the Fluellen Fam so bad!
I literally have asked him to cover them so many times before OMG
Thank you for covering this. I saw a comment on one of his videos praising him for parenting all alone. Instead of correcting them, he said “thank you ❤”. Every one of his videos I comment “say hello to your awesome wife for us” 😂
This is such a kick in the face to the REAL SOLO PARENTS!!
I only had one son but one son that kept my life busy and heart full.
I've actually had to miss Christmas. Pay for everything and actually DO EVERYTHING!!!!!! Ive raised my son through 2 open heart surgeries as well as a few other surgeries.
He's now 19 with an amazing heart but I still wish he had the opportunity ro have both parents.
Are you single or are you solo parenting? I was a single mum and had to do it all on my own so I get it. That was single parenting. I did not have a partner. Now I solo parent when my partner is away at work (in the mines so flies out and works for two weeks straight, flies home for a week etc then out again etc) while he is away there is not other parent in the home. I am doing it on my own, solo. But I’m not single. There is a partner, there is another parent who will return to the home and then we parent together. It sounds like you were a single parent. Which is so hard because there’s never ANY respite, you really are just on your own doing it alone. It’s incredibly hard, you’re amazing for raising your son through all that and doing that all by yourself x
@milkglassfairy7641 I'm a total solo parent and single lol. Every decision, every booboo kiss, hospital visit every meal made.
PLOT TWIST SHE IS THE CAMERA PERSON!
Why has no one ever mentioned the fact that some one is filming him?
“I wanna drive by that damn prison and play Apple Bottom Jeans as loud as she can hear it.” 😂😂😂💀👏🏼👏🏼
☺️☺️
I pictured a flash mob as I was reading this. 😅
If I was a prison warden I would play it 24/7 throughout the speakers lol
I actually agreed with her on that. Pretty weird song to have young girls dance to.
Omg thank you for talking about the solo dad, he has been bugging me for months!!! I was raised mostly by an actual single dad and this fraud makes me so mad
I must be naive. I never even questioned him. I need to pay more attention.
Shari’s book is so good I can’t stop listening. Makes me realize how important it is what you’re doing, and what a win it is that abbey fickley’s daughter now has privacy. Thank you for doing what you do!!
Agree 💯
It’s so good but so heartbreaking. I’m about 3/4 of the way through it and have cried more times than I can count, I just can’t understand how mother could ever treat their children the way she did their entire lives. I had hoped that the silver lining was the physical abuse didn’t start until Jody came in. Not that it would make it OK obviously but at least they didn’t have to suffer through that their entire lives but unfortunately, now we know that that’s not the case..
I listened to Shari's book the minute it was released and it broke my heart. I am looking forward to hearing what Josh has to say about Derrick. I was outraged, and still am. I won't say what I think should have happened to him(I told Shari on IG) so I won't spoil it for those who haven't read the book yet. I am so happy Shari was finally able to have a voice, for her and all of her siblings 💝
Thanks for covering The Solo Dad! I asked the other day as he's being called out by other Creators.
June’s sweet, sweet face when Josh started the audiobook melted my heart! She was so curious! What precious pups, I love that they are present in the videos 🐾✨
Same!! They adore Josh, it’s beautiful to see. Even Sam, such a sweet kitty 🐾🩷🐾🩷🐾🩷🐾🩷🐾🩷🐾
I’m finding Shari’s audio book reminding me of Janette Mcgurdy’, “I’m glad my mother died”, their voices even sound the same it’s wild. I finished Shari’s book. It’s so good. So well done.
I’ve worked in healthcare for all my life. There are definitely a lot of workers who strictly work nights/mornings. And have opposite shits from their spouse. But, it’s 12 hour shifts usually if you’re a nurse so only 3 days a week.
He mentions working 12 hour shifts
@TheSamjane4 yes but they strictly work 1 shift only (1st/2nd or 3rd)
He’s definitely calling her “the spousal partner” to distance himself from her with cold language and imply they are not together without outright lying.
True. Maybe they're separated? Or maybe that's his grift.
@ they are not separated. They have been married ~16 years.
He said spouse OR partner
@@Zoe-dy4uk doesn’t change anything for me. Especially the way he said “the” instead of “my” it’s all very remote sounding.
He said, "spouse or partner" ... However, he shouldn't have said it like that regardless because he's purposely making it shady and avoiding the truth!
I'm a nurse and when I worked in the hospital, I only worked day shift. Rotating schedules do exist, but a lot of hospitals hire for either days or nights.
I think this is pretty common in the US. Maybe not in Canada?
Yes same at the hospital I was at
Because only the US exists. Ever thought about that it might be different in other countries?
@@Kloetenhenne are you good? That was their entire point. Josh is from Canada. These people are from the u s and were simply noting to josh that nursing schedules in the u.s may be different from Canada and what he is used to.
@@pokey5854some people’s reading comprehension skills aren’t the best…the smugness of the above comment is what got me.

One of the good things about Sheri’s book is, the prisoners in Ruby and Jodi’s prisons will now know and take prison justice.
I haven’t watched this yet but Bonnie uploaded a video about Shari’s book 🙄 I hope you will cover it since I will not give Bonnie a view!!!
Yes same here
Same
I did watch bonnie video. I have an opinion on what she said and she cut out a lot of crying and didn't let ruby off the hook and had pride in shari and agreed to a certain extent. Lets see what josh opinion is on bonnie video
Same
Please cover this asap
I’m almost positive he works at NCH in Naples. Pretty sure he’s done my bloodwork. That’s 100% the Target in Coconut Point (Fort Myers). His PO Box is Fort Myers and his house 100% has to be $400,000+. In his most recent Target video he says “I’m not gonna steal like that one tiktoker”. She lives here. Pretty sure he’s done lives in Estero.
Hearing about the solo Dad, it makes me sick because people do not know what it is to be a father raising children by their themselves. My dad raised me and my sister as a solo dad because my mom passed away and we were poor living on a fixed income, so I hate when people have to lie like this. I just give credit to the Dad’s out there who are raising their children, especially girls by themselves.
My cousin is a Physician’s Assistant and his wife is an RN. They are very well off. They lived in the same neighborhood as JJ Watt when JJ lived in Houston. This man is PLAYING the internet for money and it’s insane.
Edit-oh and they also have 2 or 3 toddlers. So they do not have disposable incomes.
June’s face when you started talking about Shari Franke’s book and put the audible in the microphone…… June did a head tilt!!! She is so adorable!
I’m so glad you are calling out these disgusting liars!! Shame on him and his wife! Absolutely gross to pretend you are a struggling single parent when you have no idea what it’s like to walk in our shoes. Makes me so sad! You absolutely have no integrity for doing this!
Solo Dad must’ve learned from Matt Howard that you’re marketable as a “solo parent” anytime you’re alone with your own children and responsible for keeping them alive.
Same thing with Lexi Dennis. She watched her kids while her husband was at a dr’s appt. She called it solo parenting. Ma’am it is called being a parent. 😂
My husband was sent to Anasazi because he didn’t like school and skipped school one day. His parents thought he was depressed and instead of letting him homeschool for awhile or helping in some other way they took him to a church approved counselor (not Jodi thank goodness) and that counselor suggested Anasazi. He was there for 70 days. He was 14. It is crazy to hear what he was living on and seeing pictures of him at the end. By the end of those 70 days he was so happy to see his dad that he never was mad at them for it. It’s only been recently since people started talking about it online that he has realized how messed up it was. They later sent his sister there too.
Edited to add: I DO believe you will make it to a 1mil subscribers! I really do!
Refreshed all morning then my mom called.....lol!! STILL here, of course!!
In the states it’s usually you work either days or nights. You can rotate but most people don’t. Love your channel!
My husband was like you @Josh. He cleaned when I was out doing my volunteer work...did laundry..changed cloth diapers..etc. In exchange..because I loved being outside..i mowed our lawn. I did the deep cleaning the 2 weeks he was fishing or hunting and out of my way...he passed 7 years ago so I have it all but loved having a great relationship where things were equal....
The spousal partner bit killed me. I laughed for about 10 minutes straight
In all seriousness, the following part about the consciousness of privacy is very real and it is exactly what most people sadly miss. They are aware of what privacy means and that it is something people need to earn and value. When all of them come down, we need to remember to not feel bad for them because they are very much in control here and they are aware of the consequences... They don't feel bad at all for their kids. They might not even feel anything at all for their kids. Let's never feel bad for people like this no matter how good and genuine they seem, or how much they struggle when they fall from glory.
Also, why are the solodad's kids always sick if he works in health care? And why does he always show it? So glad that someone is calling him out!
Cuz his kids are in daycare 😷
“I’m taking 10% off the top” while she wasn’t paying her kids for using them in content. My jaw literally dropped when I heard that line from Shari Franke’s book.
Now that i know Shari's book is on Spotify and it's free with a premium membership, i am going to listen to this!
Me too! I’ve been meaning to order a few books but now I’m going to check Spotify and hopefully save some money!!
YEEEEESSSSSSS JOSH!!!!!! YESSS!!!!!! Solodad! I don’t think I have clicked on a video quicker.
As an actual solo parent I was disgusted to find out he’d been misleading people this whole time. I unsubscribed as soon as I saw behind the screens video on it.
Also Josh here in the US it is more common for nurses to be either dedicated day shift or night shift. It is rare to see them rotate.
I had to replay @17:20 when you did the air quotes of solo dad haha! So funny! I love when these exploiters are called out in a demeaning manner, great content as always!
Yes!!! Thanks Josh for reading the comments and covering our requests!! I can’t wait to watch this!
My daughter’s dad and I worked at the same place, but we were on opposite 12 hour shifts, so if i worked monday and tuesday, he worked wednesday and thursday. Saved a lot because we didn’t need daycare. I never would have called myself a “solo” parent though. Now I have been a “single” parent for many years now :)
His house is disgusting. Absolutely filthy. It looks like he allows his kids to make a mess so he can film himself cleaning it up. Those kids have to live in that environment 😷
Joey Foo is the same. Solo Dad is a Joey Foo wanna be.
Its staged...they pretend to mess it up for the videos. Its mostly very pristine in other videos
You do realize kids are fucking messy
Just got my book through here in England and cannot wait to start it . Shari and all the kids deserve good things from now onxxx
I’ve never heard of a nursing schedule where shifts between day and night are rotated. Where I live in NJ, USA you’re either a day shift nurse or a night shift nurse and that’s it. I like the idea of switching though, would probably work better when staff is short.
I’m glad they don’t, hospitals would exploit that and encourage or pressure staff to work without ample time off between when short staffed. They don’t care about staff or patients, just meeting their needs and bottom dollar.
My husband works shift work in the engineering field. I feel like this would be so bad for nurses/ hospital staff. By the 3rd night, he is almost coherent, can't tell him anything important, or he will either not hear me or forget about it. He works 4 days, 4 nights, 3 days, 3 nights. It's brutal! That sounds dangerous for hospital staff who are charge of people health.
Where I'm from in the US, it's very common to rotate shifts. I often go from nights to days and back to nights all in the same week. It's not easy on the body, that's for sure.
Rotating shifts used to be common. I believe even 15-20 years ago.
@@robinh.8513they still aren’t uncommon. Just the nurses and doctors can choose their shift and most choose not to do rotating.
I love how he’s trying to work around the fact he’s married to get all the thirsty moms to make him famous 🤣🤣
28:15 Alexa not knowing how many countries are in EU is so american 😂
He wants to quit his career and go full time online. Which I think is so disrespectful to other people who can’t afford to go through school to get an amazing career, just for him to toss it away on all lies!
12:17 i didn’t realize how different y’all’s hospitals are from the U.S. My mom was a labor & delivery nurse for 32 years and her hospital had day shift, night shift, rotating, and PRN. nurses worked a set 7am-7pm or 7pm-7am. they didn’t alternate between day and night shifts; they were either a day shift or night shift
That’s what I said as well. Nurses get to choose which type of shift they want. Some like rotating but most don’t.
That’s how it was for the nurses when I was a cna and how it is for my friends that are nurses now. I’m sure it varies from place to place though
My mom works night shift at a tape plant and leaves the house at like 5:30 and gets home at like 8:30, I’m pretty sure her actual shift is 7-7 tho
Oh my gosh the last part had me laughing so hard, I wanted...no I needed to take a drink but I just didn't dare! Hearing/seeing Josh laugh made me laugh even harder! It really made my day, everyone needs a good laugh and those videos and comments really hit the spot. I laughed so hard I scared the cat and my cheeks hurt so thank you for that Josh. ps...is there any way I can buy a hoodie that says, "I'll see you, when I see you" I love that ending! Okay, taking a deep breath now 🤗Keep doing what you do because Sir, you are great at it!!
He pulling the kids out of Day Care bc it’s $800 for 2 weeks. He didn’t get the email in time so now he has to wait another 2 weeks and pay another $800! 🙄
The whole situation is FRUSTRATING BC the kids are always sick, house trashed, shopping solo and it’s absolutely deceptive! WHY? For $??? 🙄
His house isnt actually trashed...a lot of it is staged to make them seem relatable.
@ well when it’s shown how does one know the difference 🤷♀️ I’m being genuine as idk what’s true or not ya know? Whenever I’ve viewed a video he’s always stating (well usually not always) laundry, dishes, toys etc. just curious why doesn’t his wife assist more? Does she live there or 🤔 not that it’s my business however the “pity party” isn’t funny anymore 🥺 I feel like a horses a@@ for even sending what I have to “help them”
I saw one lady saying he should start a GoFundMe and another saying that she is going to give him money soon just like she did before.
I know it helps his engagement, but I commented on a few comments like that explaining that he is making bank and he is married. I get so frustrated with grifters like him scamming mostly single moms out of their hard earned money because they think he is in their shoes and they feel bad for him.
@ exactly! I use to feel for him but when I found out a while ago he’s married, profession etc I was so dang mad! I know I’m not the only one. I think it is SO wrong being so deceptive and using people” such as this. I’ll never watch another video of his again. Once a deceptive thief always a deceptive thief. Just WRONG! One of my biggest pet peeves is a liar!
Thank you for sharing this information. I always say my son is a single parent however, I now realize that he is a solo dad. My son is raising his 2 kiddos and mom lives several states away.
Can you just do an entire video of reacting to the reels? Your laugh is super contagious and I am always crying laughing at the end of these segments 😂😂
@@jenachopson i second this request!! Call it Manic Monday!!!! His laughter is so contagious

Solo dad is a Physician assistant, meaning he can write scripts order diagnostic test, assist in surgery. They make anywhere from $132.00 - $165.00 a year. So how this man saids he’s poor is insane!
he took his sick child to Target with him.. Why didn't he or his wife pick it up after work??! And also if u have kids at home, u make sure u have these basic medications at home. Looks like he tries to stage these things to show how much he struggles .
glad youre calling this guy out, his shorts would show up for me, I thought he was an only parent until I read comments of people calling him out, what a trashy person
I agree our healthcare system here sucks. My Dad recently has had heart issues and he collapsed on me Oct 24 and I rushed to call 911. When the paramedics arrived he told them he couldn't afford the hospital bill, but the firewoman goes sir, you're in AFIB you have to go. Thank God for Medicare. His hospital bill ended up only being 120 dollars. Without it it would have been over 5,000.
Yes! Can't wait to watch this. I finished this jaw-dropping book at midnight last night after starting it in the afternoon. I couldn't put it down. It was all so much worse than we thought. We should accept that Kevin was a victim, but I also believe he is spineless and an unfit father.
Kevin was part of sending Chad away !!! If my husband didn't see his kids for 2 hrs after he is here he is looking for them !!! Kevin is not innocent he abandoned his kids !!!!!!!! And my husband sure wouldn't be defending me or worried about me at all if I hurt our kids !!! Kevin a victim that's ridiculous !! There are laws that keep u from being a victim but u gotta use them he is pathetic piece of $hit !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He’s definitely been giving off the vibe “oh woe is me I’m here all alone, raising 3 kids, keeping house, trying to work full time and I know I’m gorgeous” to get the attention of women and single mums who say they know exactly how he feels!
I hate when people with money buy things from thrift stores, especially when they do it to re-sell it… They take away all the good stuff from the people who NEED to buy from the thrift store because they can’t afford a regular store.
Plenty of people buy from thrift stores because they don’t want to contribute to environmental waste. It is better for the environment to buy previously owned things.
Idk it's kinda a double edged sword. Sure, people with more money can buy new, but buying 2nd hand helps reduce the stuff that ends up in landfills 🤷🏼♀️
@@emma2370 lmao emma we said the same thing at the same time. Great minds think alike i guess
How do you think we have more money?? Basic financial responsibility dictates that the less you spend on frivolous stuff, the more you have to save/invest. I’m gonna die with more money than I’ll ever be able to spend, but you’re not gonna catch me throwing it around and spending it on brand new items all the time. I get the resell thing. That’s kinda lame, but I don’t think the rest holds water. I know plenty of people who should be buying used but buy brand new all the time. And that’s their business!
i wholeheartedly agree with the reseller part but playing off of what the commenters above mentioned… thrift stores do help to somewhat mitigate the waste from mass produced bs, over-consumption, fast fashion, etc. i completely understand your frustrations though. my parents live in a pretty middle to high class area and there’s a goodwill right down the road. hardly any of the people in there ever look like they’re struggling and a lot come super early to get all the good stuff before anyone else can.
I just learned a new term. I am solo. I could literally afford to buy my 3 youngest children 1 item for Christmas and my oldest son is getting an afghan made by me. I am still working on it ( adhd makes me imagine that I can craft far faster than I can 😂) time blindness is a blast lol.
I am proud to say that he is excited for me to finish it and loves the progress pics I send him. I am so incredibly lucky because all of my boys were so thankful and excited for their gifts.
Bonnie made a response video to Shari’s book this morning. Doubling down on supporting family vlogging. Love to hear your opinion on the video
Thank you I had a look, couldn’t finish it, she’s ridiculous to say that Shari’s opinion on ethical family bloggers is based on her experience with her mom, so she’s ok continuing, she’s totally ignoring the fact her children are going to read criticism about them and their family online, question every relationship in their life’s, have the videos following them into adulthood, to every job they have etc etc etc. Saying she is nothing like her sister so she’s ok is so tone deaf it’s embarrassing.
Oh wow!! She’s awful. I can’t wait for Josh to cover it. I don’t want to give her the view.
Omg i have been wanting you to talk about the dad!!!
Something hasn’t seemed right and those poor kids just had the flu And he was making videos on it
Ive been waiting for SoloDad coverage, guy is such a scammer.
So glad you’re covering him. He makes my skin crawl.
Solodad always deletes my comments calling him out or helping women simps realize hes not a single dad.
He doesnt delete mine...also he admits it to people in the comments
@@TheSamjane4 You may see them but they may not be there if you go look on another account than the one you used to post.
This is a reminder to never take anything or anyone precious for granted
Our one and a half year old puppy, Ivy tragically lost her life Wednesday and my whole family are absolutely heartbroken she was a huge part of our family and literally the sweetest dog I’ve ever met, she was a black lab
My dad hasn’t been this hurt and depressed since his mom passed, it’s truly taking a toll on all of us💔
Thanks for the laughs and distractions josh
I am so sorry for the loss of your sweet puppy. ❤
@ ❤️
I can’t wait for you to cover that bartender!!! SHE LITERALLY ADDS TIPS FOR HERSELF IF THE COSTUMER LEAVES WITHOUT CLOSING OUT.
I think that is horrible
@@geriklawitter3646I believe it’s illegal as well! Not sure if that varies state to state.
Just read Shari’s book last night and I have so much respect for her. What a strong girl she is - I hope everyone has the chance to read her story and support her ❤ What she went through is pure hell - mentally and physically. Whoever Derek is should be thrown in jail as well - what a disgusting monster.
Josh, you look like the 80s!😂😂
I'm so proud of her for releasing this, it must of been very difficult to recount these memories in order to show us exactly what life her and her siblings have lead. It is well written. I have the audio book and you csn hear the pain in her voice in many moments. It's hard to listen too at points, it's horrifying and there's so much trauma. These poor children will likely be in therapy for the rest of their lives.
Ruby and Jodi should NEVER be let out of prison. They should rot in there! They make me sick and my blood boil.
Jodi is a repressed, angry closeted lesbian with a God complex, she's narcissistic, sadistic and utterly insane! There's no rehabilitation for that.
I finished the book, I’m astounded and as the eldest,parentifed daughter of not one but, two malignant narcissist who trashed my siblings life’s in a divorce…. I wept through the last chapter. I shed a few tears as well… there was a part of the book where she explains seeing the photos of RF the 1st time and how all of us talking about it affected her family. I had never thought about that… she mentioned that a documentary company was following them. I can’t wait to see that documentary. The fact that she suffered SA at the hands of “ Derek” I’m sure that’s not his real name was completely shocking and quite frankly goes to show we have NO idea what someone is going thru.
After reading Shari’s book, I can’t help but feel bad for Ruby. As Shari’s mother, she’ll never truly feel the pride that Shari deserves for her bravery, honestly, her strength and resilience. She’ll never really understand just how remarkable her children are, and that’s heartbreaking.
The hospital I was at you could choose choose to work days, nights or you can choose to alternate. I think this is more common in the US but 🤷🏼♀️
That is NOT how nursing in hospitals works in my state. Here you work 12 hr shifts and you are either 7 p to 7 a or reverse, you don't go back and forth.
Oh, but Bonnie did a whole video on the book today. She listened to it in her earbuds so her family didn’t hear it. And sounds like she hasn’t talked to any of the Franke family since…though she is trying to sound like she is supportive, it oozes she hasn’t talked to them.
Thank you for covering solo dad!
Lets get jawsh to a million❤️ He deserves it! This is such an important message u spread
OMG Finally. Solo dad was all over my fyp for some reason and I legitimately thought he was a widower. People really do weird shit for likes😂 like no one in his family has called him out? Like if this was my bro I’d be all over his comments like WTF are you talking about?!??! You and baby mama still together, married but works different shifts 😮 bro that’s not solo parenting!!!!
Hes smart...he knows what the audience what. His audience is majority female and he plays to their sympathy ...also their wish that their husbands would help out as much as he does,
Wait??? He’s married? I thought the kids mom was completely out of the picture, and he had the help of a nanny!
I thought the same thing. I only watched solodad like two times but I did believe mom was not in the picture at all and the grandma. Watched the kids on the overnight. Wow crazy how he lies
Yep he’s married! They both have opposite shifts or something so that’s why he says he “solo” parents 😂 but definitely married lol. So crazy!
His mother baby sitting
I was watching the end of this in the car as I was hurrying home to face my own demons. 💩💀 The timing could not have been more perfect! 🤣
She either does absolutely nothing allll day & never picks up OR he just tells her to leave it ALLL there so he can film when he gets home!!!
And oh my gosh the comment about her having privacy & letting him exploit the kids!! So sad 😢
Yes! I’ve seen when he supposedly gets home and the house is trashed. And he’s going to clean it, not her? The whole situation is confusing and weird. He’s making it like he’s the hero.
@ right!! And like Josh was saying how come the wife gets allll this privacy that we don’t even know her name but the kids are blasted everywhere !
@@jessicanolan733 Exactly. And if anything, he's making is wife look bad for not helping around the house. If that's the case. I think the mess is left for content at this point.
@ yes I completely agreed!
@@jessicanolan733 he 100% is orchestrating this and telling them to make sure it is a complete mess when he comes home for content.
When I read the part where she said, “where would I go?” I was devastated my kids have 3 aunts and I guarantee if they were ever sick of me the only difficult choice they’d have is which aunt do I want to go to. How can she have so much family yet have no where to go?
Jodi’s niece said Jodi’s daughter refuses to talk to her. That Jodi can convince her that the sky is red. Jodi is like an evil supervillain.
What a weirdo!!! If he’s a PA he is definitely not poor. And guess what buddy. A lot of us have to work full time and take care of kids and a household. He acts like he’s the only one. He needs to be canceled!
As a Canadian living in the southern United States there is a misrepresentation of US healthcare. The Canadian health care system is garbage. You can’t get help when you need it. Sure you don’t necessarily need to pay for it but you may die waiting (which has happened)
I have employer provided insurance, costs me 24 dollars a month & I have paid 10 dollars for all my healthcare expenses in the last 5 years lol.
There are DEF problems with the industry & uninsured people do get punished but it isn’t all horror stories.
Hello Josh thank you for addressing the solo dad situation, and as for the Shari Franke book, Bonnie is doing a reaction video on the book, so I figured you’d want to check that out.
Josh is a fugging hero with a big heart. Been watching for years
I wish that for just 1 day this “Solodad” could actually live the life that he is claiming he has, He couldn’t even put himself in that position mentally because he absolutely has no ability to actually comprehend the hardship.
Broke???? Try making $14,000 for the entire year working every free moment you had at night so that you could take your child to the hospital during the day for radiation, chemo, blood transfusions ect…..
Tired??? Try getting 2 hours of sleep a night so you could do said things above. Pretending to try and feed you and small kids 1 meal with $10??? Try feeding a family of 4 with $10 for the entire day, he would quickly realize that he would have to go without sometimes for days to ensure that his family had.
This guy couldn’t live the life he is acting like he lives, he couldn’t even handle taking his kids to the grocery store. And people are gullible if they believed him!!! Just look at his house he has in most his videos, it’s massive and full of expensive stuff, nobody who was actually broke could afford that!!
But you know what, we have something that he doesn’t, a true appreciation for each other and to just be alive!!!
I read shari's book yesterday. It's insane. I sat there and read it all in 4 hours ahah adhd who🤷🏻♀️
