As this video uploads, I'd like to make a few notes.
I don't think she noticed the foreshadowing she is unintentionally laying down. Notice the pattern in her relationship yet? The relationship was faltering, so she thinks she's pregnant! Things get better. The relationship worsens so she might have cancer! He comes in to be her savior! That worked for a couple days. They start fighting again and he's going to move out so she..... you'll find out in the next video. The point being, the relationship is toxic and she goes to extreme lengths to keep him trapped in it.
Meanwhile, in all of this, a child is going unnoticed. There is constant strife in the household and Numbnuts is so caught up in trying to keep her boyfriend around that her daughter is failing. Literally. The teacher calls to say that she isn't doing well and will need to be held back from first grade. I highly doubt this was a call out of the blue, either. The teacher didn't just decide one day that this kid shouldn't make it. I'm sure there were conferences, notes home, excessive absences/tardiness, missed assignments and many red flags before this decision was made. But oh, no. Numbnuts wants to play it all off that they aren't doing their jobs at school. Because there is no way she is about to accept any responsibility in this. Because that's how parenting works, right? You send your kid off to school and they do all the work to shape a child into the person they will become. Really, as a parent, all you have to do is feed it and buy it clothes and toys, right? God forbid she make an effort. What an inconvenience, having to do homework for hours (yea, right) when she's slaved away all day doing nothing.
"Of course my daughter is #1, but..." he is my WORLD! And then lists all the reasons why he is more important to her. Her best friend, her savior, the love of her life, blah, blah, blah. You know the only compliment she's paid her daughter in these videos? "I have a beautiful 6-year-old daughter." The fact that she's "beautiful" isn't a compliment to the child. It's a compliment to the narcissist because she made her, she owns her. She is hers. Her beauty is supply for the narcissist. She is a thing to her and that is all. It's been awhile since I've watched all the videos in their entirety, but I don't think she says anything loving about her daughter as a person. So, keep an eye on that. Let's see if we can catch any glimpses of actual affection for her child.
Editorial note: I tried saving the video in a different format this time, but it's still a no-go for mobile viewers. Sorry!
