• “Parenting 1:1 – stick to the kids routine, don’t spoil them for no reason.”
• “What the actual f*** who takes their little kid toy shopping in her pajamas at 10pm.”
• “That is not normal, and so freakin bizarre. Just weird. Red flags are up Katie. Ppl don’t do this.”
• “So strange. Who takes their young child to Target at 10pm to pick out any toys that they want? On camera!”
• “This is definetly one of the weirdest things they’ve ever posted. Too suspicious.”
• The math ain’t mathing on this photo. Either Katie is behind the camera, or she’s at home with Harvey in some unusual crisis (maybe they needed something from Target), or this pic kinda reads like an alibi. I hope it’s the second but his history makes me not trust his content at all. Not that I ever followed them on ig but I would have unfollowed by now just because it’s a hard watch.”
