My guess is that CPS had a LOT to say about them having a house. I hope she's still under supervision and they require therapy for her torticullis. I don't know whether it's getting worse or it's the angle of the photos vs. old ones but it's not getting better (yet - it takes time. It had almost a year to get to the stage it's at.)
This is definitely a step up. I also find it interesting how Kayla went from "we are free, blah, blah, houseless rocks" to "yay, we got a house!" so quickly.
I'm not in any way defending how they're raising their kid (or their lack of tooth brushing) and they've clearly made some egregious choices.
But the house is light years better than living in your car, man.
To me it sounds like they're staying in one place, and that's good for Sunny. I think it's a cute little house if they clean it up (lol) and i'm kind of touched that they are excited about the neighbor kids and the park etc.
I agree with you, and it seems like they are getting their shit together as best they can to do what's right for their kid(s).
I'm guessing she's excited about the house because it means she gets her baby. She does seem to care about her, I guess more than about being homeless, which is nice.

Okay, I am going to be a total asshole but the first thing I noticed is the fact that the baby is chilling in the window like that. Hello, Blanket Jackson! Also, how do they afford a house? Flying signs some more? What do they say now? CPS made us get a house, please give us money for it! Also we make penis lighter covers!
"This prick is asking for someone here to bring him to task Somebody give me some dirt on this vacuous mass so we can at last unmask him I'll pull the trigger on it, someone load the gun and cock it While we were all watching, he got Washington in his pocket."
This is definitely a step up. I also find it interesting how Kayla went from "we are free, blah, blah, houseless rocks" to "yay, we got a house!" so quickly.
I always got the impression that Kayla started her houseless loving lifestyle after meeting Checkers. And that Checkers was into it. Based off of the photo's Kayla had posted that showed what she was like not that long ago. I think Checkers had a big hand in how Kayla lived and Kayla just went with it because she was dumb and didn't think it through.
ETA: Unless she explained it once and I missed that post on her old blog?
And I have a feeling that there is a lot of CPS support in the background, which I have *no* problem with. CPS got her on TANF for money and food, found her restricted-income housing or grant support to help pay for a homeless-to-housed transition, etc. It also means that she'll *have* to learn to keep up her house because if Sunny is still in their custody and not hers and Checkers, they can take her away again if she's not toeing the line very, very closely. She's got people looking over her shoulder to make certain she's taking the right steps and if it means that Checkers comes in second with his "houseless" life choices, I think she'll pick Sunny over him with no looking back.
I think it's really, really sad that she appears to have grown up in a nice middle-class family with middle-class values and she's dragging Sunny into the living in a dirty house and making poor choices lifestyle. I hope her training and education eventually come through for poor Sunny and in the meantime her grandparents keep a very close eye on how she's being provided for.
My son had tortilcollis when he was born and had to have therapy every week for a year. He had a lot of pic's that look like that from that age. He is totally fine now and has no effect's from it. I hope that Sunshine is getting the therapy she need's.
