Duck bender: /* Writing */

'''Languages''' are systems of communication consisting of units of symbolic meaning (i.e. spoken, written, or hand-signed words) arranged in a structured and conventional way. Given his intensely sheltered life in addition to his [[autism]], Chris has yet to learn how to communicate effectively.

Having lived in the U.S. his entire life, Chris uses English as his primary language in both writing and discourse. He also learned [[Chris and Spanish|Spanish]] as a second language, although his grasp of it is poor, to say the least. He has also used some phrases and words from other languages, and has shown interest in learning Japanese.

Chris makes many mistakes in both writing and speaking, for a variety of reasons. Chris stopped speaking at the [[Abusive babysitter|age of 1]], and he didn't start again until he was 7 years old. Chris does not interact with others offline on a regular basis. His autism and literal thinking also contributes to this problem; he takes sentences at face value, not thinking of any implication or hidden meanings in the sentence.

Chris is somewhat better at writing than speaking, since Chris writes more often than he speaks, and writing allows him to read over what he says before he presses ''send''. Still, Chris's writing is riddled with grammatical, semantic, and literary flaws.

==Common problems==

===CWC-isms===
{{Main|CWC-isms}}
Chris has a habit of creating new words and using them without explaining what they mean in conversations. The CWC-ism "[[Tugboat]]" was used by Chris in an [[Cole Smithey E-mails|E-mail to Cole]] without telling him what it means. Other words include "[[Noviophobia]]", "[[China]]" and "[[Duck|Ducks]]".

In the wider study of ASD (Autistic Spectrum Disorder) these made up words are called neologisms, and are found to be common in the language of autistic individuals.<ref>[https://www.academia.edu/20868048/Neologisms_and_idiosyncratic_language_in_autistic_speakers Research paper on Neologisms and idiosyncratic language in autistic speakers] (it's from 1991 so please update)</ref> It is hard to pin down and define the effects that these neologisms have on people with ASD across the board, but one of Chris's methods of creating these new words is using a {{w|portmanteau}} to create it. For instance the usage of Jerkop and noviophobia, jerkop sounding juvenile and slanderous, whereas noviophobia, a mix of boyfriend in Spanish (novio) and fear in Greek (phobos), is meant to validate Chris's fear of the infinitely high boyfriend factor.

Another form of Cwc-ism is that of an uncommon and completely original {{w|euphemism}}, such as duck or china. Chris's somewhat irrational fear of using the words that these cwc-isms replace is somewhat unusual at his age, but can be conducive to the sheltered type of parenting Chris has received. People with high functioning autism and Aspergers tend not to be able to understand idioms as easily as neuro-typical people (this is not dependant on IQ, either),<ref>[https://www.scielo.br/scielo.php?pid=S1516-80342011000400005&script=sci_arttext&tlng=en Study about people with high functioning autism and Aspergers and their ability to understand idioms.]</ref> so it is very interesting and unique to see how often Chris uses them.

===Writing===
{{Main|Chris and writing}}
In all languages, Chris's writing suffers from a lack of vocabulary, and using long words to attempt to sound intelligent, but often using them incorrectly, having the opposite effect.<ref>[[July_2016_Facebook_posts#.22I.27m_not_on_drugs.21.22|See "Prevaricating" in this post]]</ref> His unnecessary detailing and staggered flow can make reading his literary works cumbersome.

====Penmanship and font choices====
In contrast to the formless nature of his artwork, Chris has halfway-decent penmanship. Still, he often writes the wrong letter and ends up having to either scribble over it or "fudge" it into another letter.

This has caused him to replace the handwriting in the comic with Comic Sans lettering in order to make it more legible. While this font is legible and popular, it is often condemned as childish, cliche, unprofessional, and ugly, and most graphic designers only use it as a last resort when a better handwritten font isn't available (or can't be installed). Since issue 12-9, he has switched to Proxima Nova.<ref>[[Sonichu 12-9]]</ref>

===Oration===
{{Main|Chris and oratory}}
In all languages, Chris has a lack of vocabulary knowledge, and a stutter, that cause it to be rather difficult to understand him oftentimes. His body language sometimes says a completely different thing than what he is actually saying, making the communication lose its potency instead of assisting it.<ref>Such as [[Christian Weston Chandler's FUTURE MESSAGE|this video]] in which when he says "my 25th birthday" he holds up three fingers, making the communication conflicting</ref> His rhetoric is often very lacklustre, featuring very few solid arguments, and very many logical fallacies. Some examples of these issues include:
*[[Chris_and_oratory#Threats|Threats]] (including the occasional death threat)
*[[Chris_and_oratory#Bias_and_one-sided_arguments|Bias and one-sided arguments]]
*[[Chris_and_oratory#Ad_Hominems| Ad hominems]]
*[[Chris_and_oratory#Strawman_arguments|Strawman arguments]]
*[[Chris_and_oratory#Moving_the_goalposts|Moving the goalposts]]
All of these things usually make Chris's speeches very alienating, polarising and unconvincing, they also indicate a level of [[narcissism]] that is present in some of his works, and that leads to him being somewhat unlikable, which really damages his chances of being a powerful speaker.

==English==
{{Main|Chris and English}}
English is the most widely spoken language on Earth and Chris living in the USA should have been a master at it. Sadly, Chris's grasp on English is tenuous at best. His communication skills have suffered from a lack of vocabulary and heavy speech impediments including stuttering. Whilst singing and muttering prove as large obstacles to understanding Chris's speech, that's the least of the problems when it comes to Chris's communication skills.

===Writing===
{{Main|Chris and writing}}
His writing is riddled with wrong spellings, bad grammar, unnecessarily capitalised words, wrong syntaxes and non-existant words. He also sometimes reverses words, to exemplify some kind of significance, such as Pmurt, which is just Trump backwards, because he didn't like the United States President at the time.

His fondness of big words and semicolons despite his childlike writing style causes some of his writings to be very difficult to understand. He also has a poor concept of flow in his writing, often over-detailing things that lack significance, leading one to lose their place in the story; Even in action sequences, Chris will sometimes explain something in excruciating detail, even though brevity and verbs are essential to keep the flow of the action going.

He also has problems with foreshadowing, as he can often foreshadow things which are irrelevant to the plot, or never following up, missing the point of the writing device in the first place. This causes his literary works such as the Sonichu comics to be very difficult to follow. Chris also has difficulty implementing exposition, often exposing unnecessary details and doing so in a very unsubtle manner.

His difficulty interacting with [[reality]] also causes Chris to conclude that his characters are real, making it ethical for them to never experience any difficulty or hardship, not realising that this can produce boring and tedious plots, with absolutely no conflict whatsoever.

===Speaking===
{{Main|Chris and oratory|Speech impediment}}
Unfortunately, Chris usually has a hard time speaking, whether it's due to his nervousness or a speech impediment, it all stems from his [[autism]]. However, he also has inherited some regional dialect, such as the use of 'em and y'all, and omits the letter "t" when it is too much effort to pronounce, a common trait of American English.

The other problems have may originate from high-frequency hearing loss that Chris experienced as a young child, or perhaps he simply has {{w|Cluttering|tachyphemia}}, which seems to explain a lot of the symptoms.

The main problems Chris has outside of dialect are:
*Frequent sighing and ums and uhs.
*Stuttering.
*Speaking too quickly and slurring words, this behaviour is characteristic of children.
*Occasional {{w|spoonerism}}.
*Trouble pronouncing post-vocalic Ls, resulting in examples such as medal being pronounced "meadow".
*Trouble pronouncing the letter "X" (/ks/ or /gz/), as well as related consonantal digraphs (/sk/, /st/), pronouncing it either as an "/s/" sound (elision) or as a "/t͡s/" sound (fronting). Pronouncing box as bots and six as sits.
*Trouble pronouncing "th", usually pronouncing it "d", even when it's not intentional.

==Spanish==
{{Main|Chris and Spanish}}

Despite learning Spanish for two years, Chris has often made rather basic errors in the language, some examples include:
*Using "ein" instead of "ien", a bad habit Chris has borrowed from his English writing ability, a common example of this is "bien", Chris would instead write "bein", the difference between them is easily notices by saying them out loud.
*Only using the present indicative tense, causing sentences that are set in different tenses to sound wrong.
*Being very inconsistent with punctuation and accents that are unique to the language.

His tendency to use Spanish in conjunction with reversed English<ref>[[U8C43P2A37A8_y_U8C1N023V0L]]</ref> indicates that Chris has an interesting view of Spanish which blends [[magical thinking]] and the idea that Spanish is some kind of ancient black magic language that only Chris understands, and that nobody would instantly know that Chris was just messing around with languages to make that video.

==Others==
Other than the two major languages Chris uses, he has tried dabbling in other languages.

===Japanese===
[[File:Drawing_with_Japanese_text_(second_upload).png|thumb|Chris making an entire nation proud, having been hoodwinked by the Idea Guys into writing phrases completely different to what he thought they meant.]]
Chris, being a [[Japanophilia|Japanophile]], has shown interest in learning Japanese. He also uses the popular Japanese words like “Kawaii" and "Senpai".

In [[November 2017]], he released a drawing of him and [[Sailor Moon]] having a conversation in Japanese. The dialog was provided by the [[Idea Guys]] and the dialog therefore is filled with memes and lewd remarks.

|Smart hearts; smart minds; well-educated support.
|Chris' caption/narration
|}

Ami's dialogue is a reference to the manga/[[anime]] ''{{w|Fist of the North Star}}''.

In [[September 2020]], Chris used Google Translate to produce Japanese, Chinese, and Spanish translations of [[Dimensional Merge]] nonsense.<ref>[[September 2020 social media posts#Chris the Multi-linguist]]</ref>

In [[December 2020]], Chris once again used Google Translate to wish his fans a Merry [[Christmas]] in Japanese, and in multiple other languages.<ref>[[December 2020 social media posts#Merry Christmas]]</ref>

=== German ===
In [[December 2017]], Chris uploaded two drawings based on ''[[Sailor Moon]]'', with captions provided by the Idea Guys. He also signed his name on them with the Japanese "I have a penis" line above, however he miswrote the kana ''su'' in the Japanese word ''penisu'', making it look like ''peninu''.

|}

Of note is some of the German text contains obvious English cognates that are [[Honor roll|absent from the so-called "translation"]], such as "Zebra", "Universum" and "Evolution".

In [[January 2021]], he responded to a tweet from fellow lolcow Drachenlord in German.<ref>[[January 2021 social media posts#Chris now knows German]]</ref> In the tweet, he notably misspells -en endings as -an, and also neglects to capitalize nouns.

=== French ===
In "[[La Cocina en La Casa de Casanova]]" Chris sings the French phrase "Un, deux, trois" ("One, two, three"). Unsurprisingly his pronunciation is terrible.

=== Finnish ===
Chris joined the language-learning website [[Duolingo]] in [[October 2023]] and began studying Finnish intensively, racking up 21,957 XP as of 23 [[November 2023]].<ref>[[:File:Duolingo stats 23Nov2023 2.png]]</ref> The reason behind Chris's sudden enthusiasm for Finnish is unclear. One theory is that his friend [[Flutter]] may be Finnish or of Finnish descent - this was bolstered by sightings of Chris and Flutter in [[Finland]] in April and September 2024 (in the April sighting, Chris was observed speaking English). In a February 2024 livestream, when asked if he was learning Finnish Chris replied "I don't know what you are talking about," and also denied that Flutter was Finnish.<ref>[[February 2024 livestreams#Part 2]]</ref>

=== Hebrew ===
As of 23 November 2023, Chris had acquired 15 XP in Hebrew in Duolingo, the equivalent of one lesson. Along with Finnish and Spanish, it is one of only three languages which Chris has studied in Duolingo, and the one which Chris showed the least interest in. Chris probably began the course because of his [[Messiah complex]] but quickly burned out when it proved too difficult.

The Hebrew taught in Duolingo is {{w|Modern Hebrew|Modern Israeli Hebrew}}, not the {{w|Biblical Hebrew}} of the Bible.

=== Swedish ===
It is generous to say that Chris has a very poor grasp of Swedish. He has no idea how to pronounce Swedish YouTuber [[PewDiePie]]'s last name (Kjellberg), saying "Kuh-zhellberg", "Kilj-berg", and "Kill-berg", instead of the correct pronunciation, which can be approximated in English as "Shell-berg".<ref>[[Update 1/29/2016 - There is NO PewDiePie or Felix here whatsoever]]</ref>

In [[January 2018]], while under the control of the [[Idea Guys]], Chris wrote "Hej kiwi lantgård. Denne min sig vråla på ni." in a Facebook post congratulating [[Magi-Chan]] and [[Mewtwo]]'s marriage. Chris believed this phrase to mean "Hello, my friends. I am in good health." when in actuality, it loosely translates to "Hello [[Kiwi Farms]]. This is my shout-out to you."

In his attempt to sing "Din låt" by {{w|Victor Leksell}} and {{w|Einár}} as part of his [[AI Chris Chan Vs Christ Chan]] series, he has such a hard time grappling with the pronunciation of the lyrics that it mostly sounds like he's just talking over the instrumental.

{{quote|She's a friend of mine, and I refer to her only as Flutter, because she likes [[Fluttershy]], okay?

}}

'''Flutter''' (born 1992 or 1993) is the nickname [[Chris]] gave to a [[gal-pal|female friend]] of his. Flutter reached out to Chris at some point during his time in [[Central Virginia Regional Jail]]. Sometime after Chris was released in [[March 2023]], he met up with her in the city of {{w|Lynchburg, Virginia}}, and they began hanging out together.<ref name=setting></ref> Chris refers to her simply as a friend, suggesting that their relationship is not romantic, although he does not explicitly deny having romantic feelings for her either. Chris also claims that she is thirty years old (as of 17 [[October 2023]]), despite her [[Pedofork|childlike appearance]]. The nickname "Flutter" comes from her fondness for the ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic]]'' character Fluttershy. Her identity and motives are shrouded in mystery.

After Chris's release from jail, he was frequently [[Post-jail sightings|photographed]] by people who managed to spot him in public. In [[September 2023]], he was spotted with Flutter for the first time. This ultimately led Christorians to begin theorizing about her, with some thinking she was a child due to her appearance, others thinking she was a social worker or possibly someone with a [[Slow-in-the-minds|mental handicap]] similar to Chris's own, or even a recruit by [[Praetor]]. On the 17th, she was spotted allegedly [[Post-jail_sightings_(2023)#CVS|making out with Chris at a CVS]], causing many people to believe she was his girlfriend. [[Otaku King]] also claimed that the two of them were a couple. In [[Setting the Record straight - there never was any sex involving me in 2021]], however, Chris simply refers to her as a friend.

Some observers have speculated that Flutter may be Finnish or of Finnish descent, noting that Chris began studying Finnish intensively on [[Duolingo]] since [[October 2023]] for no apparent reason.<ref>[[:File:Duolingo stats 23Nov2023 2.png]]</ref> This theory was bolstered by [[2024]] sightings of Chris and Flutter in Helsinki, [[Finland]].

A Reddit user who saw Flutter claims that she did not have an accent.<ref name=isabellas>[[Post-jail sightings (2023)#Isabella's Italian Trattoria Restaurant]]</ref> Another Redditor claims that she spoke in a fake anime girl voice.<ref name=animegirl>[[Sightings (2024)#Walmart Part II (July)]]</ref>

==Sightings==
On 4 [[September 2023]], Chris was spotted talking with Flutter at a Coinstar machine at a Food Lion supermarket. This was the first time she was sighted, and earned her the nickname "Food Lion Lady."<ref>[[Post-jail_sightings_(2023)#Food_Lion]]</ref>

On 9 September 2023, a [[ween]] stalked Chris in his car. Reportedly, Flutter was in the car with Chris, and the ween remarked that she looked like a child.<ref>[[Post-jail_sightings_(2023)#Sheetz/On_the_road_Part_II]]</ref>

On 16 September 2023, she was spotted with Chris at [[Walmart]]. This was the first clear view of her face.<ref>[[Post-jail_sightings_(2023)#Walmart_(September)]]</ref>

On 17 September 2023, Chris was allegedly sighted hugging, touching, and ''kissing'' Flutter at a CVS; her body language does not indicate reciprocity, however.<ref>[[Post-jail_sightings_(2023)#CVS]]</ref>

On the 20th, the sighter posted two ''incredibly'' blurry pictures of Chris hugging and kissing her. While Chris is easy to see, Flutter is incredibly hard to see. The sighter also made multiple comments about her.

{{quotebox|[Chris] was all over that woman. Just kept touching her and had her hand on the back almost the whole time. She doesn’t look young.}}
{{quotebox|She 100 percent looked uncomfortable.}}
{{quotebox|She seemed uncomfortable and kept her head down mostly. I can’t say whether she was just uncomfortable or if she was low functioning.}}
{{quotebox|Seemed like he was kind of leading the shopping trip. He also was very close to her at all times. Co-Worker asked if they needed help Chris made sure to step so that he was between my Co-Worker and the girl.}}
{{quotebox|She paid.}}

These comments have yet to be confirmed as fact.

On 19 September 2023, Chris supposedly walked into a game store with her.<ref>[[Post-jail_sightings_(2023)#Undisclosed_parking_lot]]</ref>

On 1 [[October 2023]], Chris was spotted showing something on his device to her at {{w|River Ridge Mall}}. This was the clearest view of her face yet.<ref>[[Post-jail_sightings_(2023)#River_Ridge_Mall]]</ref>

On 3 October 2023, Flutter was seen waiting in a car while Chris was shopping at Game Junkies.<ref>[[Post-jail_sightings_(2023)#Game_Junkies]]</ref>

On 20 [[December 2023]], around 7:30 PM, a video of her was taken at the Richmond International Airport. Her origin flight was from the Charlotte Douglas International Airport, but the starting destination is unknown.<ref>[[Post-jail_sightings_(2023)#Richmond_International_Airport]]</ref> Later that day, she was also spotted at a Sheetz in Henrico, VA, and afterwards driven away by Chris.<ref>[[Post-jail_sightings_(2023)#Sheetz_(December)]]</ref>

On 21 December 2023, Flutter and Chris were spotted at [[Bella|Isabella]]'s Italian Trattoria Restaurant in Lynchburg. Reddit user JacksonStarship speculated that Flutter paid for the meal, also noting that Chris "ate [[SpaghettiRoutine|spaghetti]] like a toddler." The user also reported that Chris hand-fed dessert to Flutter. JacksonStarship stated that Flutter did not appear mentally handicapped, nor did she appear an exceptionally young age. On several occasions she would keep Chris in check, stopping him from escalating situations. They were last seen walking away together in the parking lot.<ref name=isabellas></ref>

On 4 [[January 2024]], Chris and Flutter were photographed at Ultimate Comics in Cary, North Carolina while picking up tickets for the [[Animate! Raleigh]] convention.<ref>[[Sightings (2024)#Cary, North Carolina]]</ref> They were seen in attendance together on 5 January 2024, with Flutter wearing a face mask. On 6 January 2024, Chris and Flutter were seen outside of the Animate! convention, reportedly having been kicked out.<ref>[[Sightings (2024)#Raleigh Convention Center]]</ref>

On 23 [[March 2024]], Chris was spotted with Flutter at TJ Maxx in Lynchburg, VA, disproving rumors about her staying away from him due to the aftermath of Animate! Raleigh.<ref>[[Sightings (2024)#TJ Maxx]]</ref>

Chris also had plans to go to [[BABSCon]] 2024 with her, but his two tickets were refunded due to the event staff being aware of his status on the internet. This is hinted at in his reply to BABSCon's email:<ref>[[BABSCon E-mails]]</ref>
{{quotebox|I was looking for an enjoyable, peaceful weekend with my friend that would have been more than very good and beneficial. But no, you dare deny us this simple pleasure as Pegasisters of the Brony Community.}}

On 4 [[April 2024]], Chris and Flutter were both spotted at the Arabia Shopping Centre in Helsinki, [[Finland]].<ref>[[Sightings (2024)#Arabia Shopping Centre, Helsinki, Finland]]</ref>

On 29 [[June 2024]], Chris and Flutter were spotted at River Ridge Mall, where they ate at Chick-fil-A and went to see a movie.<ref>[[Sightings (2024)#River Ridge Mall (June)]]</ref> A few days later, on 5 [[July 2024|July]], they were seen together at a Walmart in Lynchburg.<ref>[[Sightings (2024)#Walmart (July)]]</ref> A week later, they were again seen shopping in Walmart, and the Reddit user watching them claimed that Flutter was speaking in a fake anime girl voice and that Chris was telling her how to bag food properly.<ref name=animegirl></ref> A few days later on July 16, they were spotted on the road driving towards Charlottesville, with Flutter sitting in the backseat.<ref>[[Sightings_(2024)#On_the_road]]</ref>

On 13 [[August 2024]], Chris and Flutter were spotted at River Ridge Mall and about a week later, they were spotted again, this time in Roanoke at {{w|Valley View Mall (Virginia)|Valley View Mall}}. The observers photographed them several times and even secretly recorded a video of them approaching and talking to Chris, with Flutter being behind Chris being silent and leaves without her face being shown on the video. However, two days later, one of the observers posted another photo of them from the same sighting, which marked the first time Flutter's face had been photographed since [[October 2023]].

On 28 [[September 2024]], Chris and Flutter were spotted walking in the {{w|Mall of Tripla|Mall of Tripla}} in Helsinki, [[Finland]].<ref>[[Sightings (2024)#Mall of Tripla, Helsinki, Finland]]</ref> The observer recorded a brief clip of them walking together.

==Wariness==
Since late [[December 2023]], when Flutter returned to the spotlight, many people have joked about the inability of [[ween]]s to take a good photo of her. The first strong signals of this came to light on [[Post-jail_sightings_(2023)#Richmond International Airport|December 20]], where she was noted by an observer to wear a face mask in public:
{{quoteboxgreen|yes I was on her flight, I noticed her almost immediately but she wore a mask the whole time, It was subconscious so I didn't think much of it other than "huh she looks familiar," but while she was leaving the airport chris was waiting for her he embraced her and said her name out loud, I was on the phone and couldn't make out what he said.}}
When the said person approached them later, Chris was against him taking pictures of themselves. The same behavior repeated [[Post-jail_sightings_(2023)#Isabella's_Italian_Trattoria_Restaurant|a day later]]:
{{quoteboxpurple|As they walked out Chris commented to a passing family “a family night, that’s nice” or something like that, and Egg had to pull him through the door. I asked Chris for a photo as he was walking out and he got PISSED. But I still shook Chris’ hand. Wish I could’ve gotten better photos but it was kind of a formal dinner.}}
He has also stated Flutter didn't seem to be mentally handicapped and took on a near [[Barbara Chandler|motherly role]] during the visit.
{{quoteboxpurple|Egg didn’t say a word to me, I passed their table at 2 points. She wasn’t noticeably mentally handicapped and seemed to be keeping Chris in check to some degree}}
During [[Animate! Raleigh]], Flutter was seen with all of her face covered up by a face mask, sunglasses and her hair. Observers also noted her obsessive self-awareness at the event.
{{quoteboxblue|I am legit annoyed that you people cannot be bothered to get one clear photo or video. How hard can it be?}}
{{quoteboxorange|Genuinely this has been more difficult than you’d imagine. Flutter appears to be quite vigilant and unwilling (obviously) to appear in anything, especially candids. With her proximity to Chris it is not surprising there is a lack of high def photos}}

{{quoteboxorange|i was legitimately right beside them on an escalator yesterday without realizing and genuinely she is so hard to see. she has such self awareness compared to chris it is insane}}

'''Barbara 'Barb' Weston Chandler'''<ref>[[:File:Barbara Chandler Fail to Yield Right-of-Way charge.png]]</ref> (''née'' '''Weston''', formerly '''Yeatts''' and '''Smithey'''; born 1 {{w|1941#October|October 1941}}<ref name=Harvey155>https://web.archive.org/web/20170903151241/http://www.harveypowers.com/wynn/wynn/d155.html</ref>) is the widow of [[Bob Chandler]] and the mother of [[Christian Weston Chandler]] and [[Cole Smithey]]. The sole recognition for her motherly qualities is the Mother of the Year [[2000]] Award Chris created for her.<ref>[[A Week With Christian Chandler#Page 13|A Week With Christian Chandler, page 13]]</ref> She has not won the award since.

Though Bob has remained relatively popular with [[trolls]] and Christorians alike, the same cannot be said for Barbara, who has been consistently disliked by nearly everyone but Chris and her late husband – with many members of her own family distancing themselves from her at least since at least the funeral of one of [[Aunt Corrina|Chris's aunts]]. Whereas Bob eventually recognized his shortcomings as a parent to Chris and attempted to correct them late into his life, Barbara has consistently been one of the biggest enablers of Chris's bad behavior since he was a child, on top of emotionally manipulating, threatening, and on occasion physically abusing him (elements which Chris would turn around and use on her later in her life). Barbara has been instrumental in turning Chris into the spoiled manchild that he is, and like Bob before her, has encouraged him not to seek a serious career path in favor of [[Monthly tugboat|getting welfare off of his condition]], in spite of the fact that he could get a minimum-wage job and still qualify for welfare.

It has long been suspected that she has some form of narcissistic personality disorder, which goes hand-in-hand with what we know about her neglectful to abusive relationship with Chris, along with his half-brother [[Cole Smithey]], who received a much worse treatment from her. Her hoarding habits also indirectly lead to the [[2014 house fire]], as sparks from a coffee maker that had no business being plugged into an extension cord in the bathroom burned the paper, plastic, and wood in the room before engulfing the house, and much of the [[Financhu Crisis]] is subsequently on her.

For much of the Classic Era of Christory, Barbara was extremely obese and napped a lot (earning her the nickname "{{w|Snorlax}}," after the fat, sleepy [[Pokémon]] of the same name), but she has since shed a ton of weight in her twilight years. This sharp loss of weight, loss of hair color, and knowledge of her son's status as a living internet meme all factored into her role in appearing in multiple begging videos.

On 27 [[June 2021]], Chris began [[Affair with Mother|an incestuous relationship with Barbara]],<ref>[[WCT DMs#New sweetheart]]</ref> claiming to have sex every three nights.<ref>[[WCT DMs#Every three nights]]</ref> A month later, on 27 [[July 2021]],<ref>[[WCT DMs#Asking about Incest Call leak]]</ref> Chris decided to brag about the identity of his sexual partner [[Incest Call|in a call over the Signal app]] and [[Incest Texts|in text messages]] the following day. The material was leaked to the general public at approximately past midnight on 30 July; later that morning, a [[welfare check]] was conducted at [[14 Branchland Court]], and as a result, Chris was [[ban]]ned from the house and from contact with Barbara for a week, and Barbara was sent to the hospital for a senior care inspection.<ref name=nullsummary>[[Kiwi Farms posts (Null)#Summing Up Post-Incest Leak]]</ref> On 1 August, Chris was [[Incest Arrest|arrested at a motel in Richmond]] and charged with incest.<ref>[[:File:Charged.png]]</ref>

Barbara returned to her residence at some point in [[August 2021]].<ref>[[Kiwi Farms posts (other users)#Status of 14 Branchland Court]]</ref><ref>[[Fan visits#e1ectricthunder]]</ref> In an [[October 2021]] letter to a fan, Chris mentioned that he had received a letter from Barbara during his stay in jail.<ref name=25letter>[[Jail Letter - 25 October 2021 (Virginia fan)]]</ref>

In [[November 2021]], Barbara failed to yield the right-of-way while driving<ref>[[:File:Barbara Chandler Fail to Yield Right-of-Way charge.png]]</ref> and was injured in a car crash from which she suffered two broken ribs and a concussion and her van was wrecked,<ref>[[Kiwi Farms posts (other users)#Confirming Car Crash]]</ref> and she was helped to recover from it by extended family members.<ref>[[Jail Letter - 27 November 2021]]</ref>

Barbara and Chris no longer live together, with Barbara continuing to reside in [[Ruckersville]] and Chris moving to [[Big Island]], VA.

==Spelling of name==
Barbara's high school yearbook and both her marriage licenses spell her full maiden name as ''Barbara '''Ann''' Weston'', as do other sources like Harvey Powers's genealogical website<ref name=Harvey155/> (her divorce decree omits the middle name entirely). Chris, however, usually (though not consistently) spells her name as ''Barbara '''Anne''' Weston Chandler'' with an e. This may be because he believes she is named after [[Anne Boleyn]].

==Early life==
[[Image:Barb1960.jpg|thumb|left|Barbara's senior photo from high school. While she looks pretty here, she would not age well.]]
{{Quote|Her life was a Redneck Simple Country one. She had mastered sewing, mending, and making clothes and other farm-life facets and Church-Going habits.|Chris describes his mother's childhood<ref>[[Jail Letter - 11 May 2022]]</ref>}}
Barbara is the fifth child (out of eight) of Joseph Otto "Joe" Weston (1896–1955), a lifelong [[RandomSong1|farmer]], carpenter and a veteran of World War I and Carrie Edna Wynn (1911–1968), a housewife and later a shoe company worker in Lynchburg.<ref>https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-C958-RFTD?i=1&cc=2377565&personaUrl=%2Fark%3A%2F61903%2F1%3A1%3AQVRC-X438</ref> They married in February 1927, when Carrie was 15 years old and Joseph [[Pedofork|was 30]]. They lied about their ages in their marriage certificate.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20170825073641/http://www.harveypowers.com/wynn/wynn/d141.html</ref><ref>https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSZT-H9QK-J?cc=1726957</ref> Joe died in 1955, after falling from a horse-drawn wagon.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20200603075643/http://genealogytrails.com/vir/charlotte/obits_w.html</ref> Barb's maternal grandfather was an alcoholic moonshiner, who carried out affairs and failed to provide even the most basic support for her mother's family.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20180425032751/http://www.harveypowers.com:80/wynn/wynn/d118.html</ref> For whatever reason, Barb believes that she is descended from [[Anne Boleyn]], but this is impossible given that Elizabeth I, Boleyn's only daughter, died without an heir. She also thinks that a more recent ancestor named [[Daniel Weston]] boarded the ''Mayflower'', but no such person exists.

[[Image:0839-MomDesi.JPG|thumb|Barb, emboldened by her hoard, evolved into a Snorlax over time.]]

Barb grew up in a low-income farming household in [[Wikipedia:Red Oak, Virginia|Red Oak, Virginia]], a rural area in the far south of the state. An early memory from when she was two years old was seeing her father covered in silver paint, having fallen off the roof of their house while painting it and nearly killed himself.<ref>[[Jail Letter - 11 May 2022]]</ref> She graduated from {{w|Randolph-Henry High School}} in {{w|Charlotte Court House, Virginia}} in 1960. Due to family poverty, she was obliged to sew her own clothing.<ref name=younger>[[June 2021 social media posts#Chris larps as his younger self]]</ref> While at Randolph-Henry, she was treasurer of her school's chapter of the [[Women's rights|Future Homemakers of America]], a reporter of the Randolph-Henry safety bus patrol, a typist for her school yearbook, ''The Log'', and a member of the [[Spanish]] Club. She was also a member of many other school organizations, suggesting that she was very involved in extracurricular activities while in high school. She was also known for her perfect attendance record from her sophomore through her senior years of high school. According to her senior yearbook, her nickname in high school was Bobcat.

Barb had two boyfriends in high school, one of whom was [[Aunt Harriet and Uncle Tom|Tom Ashby]], who would later marry her younger sister Harriet. According to a [[January 2012 Facebook Posts#February is coming up|Facebook status]] Chris wrote on 29 January 2012, Barbara lost her virginity during her high school years. Why Chris knows this is anyone's guess, although it's possible that he learned the basic principles of [[Honest Content]] from Mommy Dearest. In a [[Jail Letter - 11 May 2022|letter]] from 10 May 2022, however, Chris denies that Barbara ever had sex with her high school boyfriends, although he claims that her sisters accused her of doing so.

According to a [[Incest Texts|leaked message]] to [[Bella]], Barbara has had sex with eight different men over the course of her life (not including Chris). Chris claims she told him that she has never [[mass debating|masturbated]].

Shortly after graduating from high school in 1960, Barb left Red Oak and, "...decided to set off on her own... [[Love Quest|in search for romance and her future]]." Apparently, she left in order to go to college, breaking off her relationship with Tom, who was one year her junior. After Barb moved away, "her siblings, cousins, and others in Redoak" began to spread rumors about her and call her a slut in her absence. Around this time her mother also disowned her.<ref>[[Rebeckah Bentley E-mails#Chris has scabies too]]</ref> As it turned out, her relationship with her family would never get much better. Barb's relationship with Harriet and Tom is especially strained. Chris stated in a leaked video that he and his mother are not liked by the members of the Weston family who have outlived Corrina.<ref>[[Message for John Kyle]]</ref>

According to Chris, Barb majored in "accounting and numbers."<ref name=younger></ref> Where Barb attended college is unknown, but it may have been {{w|Wake Forest College}}, where her future first husband, Ran Coleman Yeatts, was studying at the time. Wherever it was, she probably dropped out in 1961, when he graduated and married her. Her divorce report with Jerry and marriage certificate to Bob both say that she had not completed any years of college education.

==Cole and his various fathers==
[[Image:0467-CWC18th20.jpg|thumb|left|Cole visits for Chris's [[My big 18th party (story)|18th birthday]].]]

From approximately 1961 through 1980, Barbara lived in [[Richmond]]. At one point, she aspired to be an English teacher and occasionally filled in for other teachers as a substitute.<ref>[[Regina_e-mails#Chris_answers_a_bunch_of_questions,_is_still_a_virgin]]</ref><ref>[[Rental_House_Tour#Barb's_family_heritage]]</ref> Ultimately, however, she ended up working in a series of secretarial roles, including at {{w|Reynolds Metals Company International Headquarters|Reynolds Metals Company}}.<ref>[[Miyamoto_emails#A_Word_from_Snorlax]]</ref>

Over the course of Barb's adult life prior to meeting Bob, she had relationships with five men, three of whom are known by name.<ref>[[Jail Letter - 11 May 2022]]</ref>

Barbara gave birth to [[Cole Smithey|Cole]] in 1963. Throughout his life, Barbara has lied to Cole about who his father is.

Based on his experiences with various stepfathers, [[Cole Smithey|Cole]] thinks that Barbara has a "...proclivity to isolate herself via scurrilous mates."<ref name="coleemail2">[[:File:Cole 07-03-06-2.PNG|6 March 2007 email from Cole to Chris, page 2]]</ref> The use of "scurrilous" in this statement makes no sense, suggesting [[Cole Smithey|Cole]] tries to use [[Chris and English|big]] words to impress people – a family trait, perhaps.

===Ran Coleman Yeatts===
[[Image:RanColemanYeatts-WakeForestHowler1961.png|thumb|right|Cole's [[TRUE and HONEST]] biological father, Ran Coleman Yeatts Sr., from the 1961 Wake Forest College yearbook.]]
[[Image:Barb1961WeddingPortrait.png|thumb|left|Barbara in her wedding dress at age 19, June 1961]]

Records found by Cole in Richmond show that Barb married one '''Ran ''Cole''man Yeatts''', a personnel analyst for DPT, on June 17, 1961. Yeatts was born on 27 December 1939 in {{w|Pittsylvania County, Virginia}} but grew up in {{w|South Hill, Virginia|South Hill}}, a town about 35 miles east of Red Oak which also happens to be the hometown of Barb's mother Carrie and her moonshiner dad. Yeatts graduated from {{w|Park_View_High_School_(South_Hill,_Virginia)|Park View High School}} from South Hill in 1957 and later that year he was enrolled at {{w|Wake Forest College}} in {{w|Winston-Salem, North Carolina}} (now Wake Forest University).<ref>https://lib.digitalnc.org/record/28659?ln=en#?c=0&m=0&s=0&cv=94&r=0&xywh=2347%2C1534%2C681%2C414</ref><ref>https://lib.digitalnc.org/record/28685?ln=en#?c=0&m=0&s=0&cv=77&r=0&xywh=1396%2C1140%2C926%2C414</ref><ref>https://lib.digitalnc.org/record/28686?ln=en#?c=0&m=0&s=0&cv=81&r=0&xywh=460%2C1252%2C1363%2C609</ref><ref>https://lib.digitalnc.org/record/28677?ln=en#?c=0&m=0&s=0&cv=64&r=0&xywh=2241%2C1842%2C1441%2C875</ref> An {{w|Alpha Sigma Phi}} brother, he graduated from Wake Forest with a BA degree in human resources management in spring 1961, a few months before he and Barb married.<ref>http://www.archive.org/stream/howler1960wake/howler1960wake_djvu.txt</ref> Coincidentally, Bob Chandler was also living in Winston-Salem around the same time, where he was married to Patricia Faye Harley and working as an engineer.

According to their marriage certificate, Ran, a technician for The Virginia State Highway Department, was living in Richmond at the time of the marriage, while Barb, a secretary for Glidden Company of Richmond, was still living in Red Oak. Although however, two newspaper articles from April and June 1961 stated that Barb was already living in Richmond. They were married at a Baptist church in {{w|Wylliesburg, Virginia}} near Red Oak (which the divorce documents misspell as "Sylliesburg").

A divorce was granted to Barb on 15 May 1963, at which point she was pregnant with Cole and living in Richmond. The decree states that Ran deserted her on 28 April 1962, although the final digit in "1962" appears to have been altered from a "3". The divorce license lists zero children. Cole was born two months later, on 24 July 1963.

To further fuel Cole's rage, Yeatts would visit him during his childhood and be introduced as a "friend of the family".<ref name="Cole Smithey E-mails" /> After Cole hired a private detective, Barbara hung up on him when he called to ask about his father.<ref name="Cole Smithey E-mails" />

Yeatts later remarried and died aged 67 on 6 June 2007. His obituary in the ''Richmond Times-Dispatch'' makes no mention of Cole or Barb, although it indicates that Ran had a grandson also named Cole.<ref>[https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/timesdispatch/name/ran-yeatts-obituary?id=5417433 Ran Yeatts Obituary]</ref>

Per the [[Cole Smithey E-mails]], it appears that Barb's nickname for Ran was '''"Ramblin' Randy"''', although there is a slim chance that nickname refers to another ex-lover of Barb's whom we know nothing about.

===Jack Smithey===
Barb insists that Cole's father is '''Jack Dale Smithey,''' to whom she claims she was once married. However, Cole was unable to find a marriage license for the couple or any photographs from their alleged wedding.<ref name="coleemail2" /> Indeed, Christorians have been frustrated in their efforts to locate any such evidence; their ability and persistence in documenting everything Chris-adjacent rivals that of any private detective. In 1995, Cole's friend, syndicated cartoonist {{w|Ted Rall}}, made an Internet post questioning the whereabouts of Jack Dale Smithey. According to the post, Smithey lived in Richmond in 1963 (the year Cole was born) and was a Merchant Marine. He later worked as a trucker for Pilot Trucking in North Carolina but had not been heard of since 1964.<ref>http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/SURNAMES/1995-04/0798938259</ref> Cole eventually hired a private detective who tracked down Jack Smithey in {{w|Sarasota, Florida}}.<ref name="Cole Smithey E-mails">[[Cole Smithey E-mails]]</ref>

Although there is no hard evidence that Barb was ever married to Jack, newspaper articles from the 1960s indicate that she used the surname Smithey up until she married Jerry Harmon in 1968. According to Barbara (as quoted by Chris), she and Jack had a "fancy" wedding which was attended by her sisters and mother. Chris told Cole that Barbara considers Jack "a total drunk and loser".<ref name="Cole Smithey E-mails">[[Cole Smithey E-mails]]</ref>

In [[July 2021]], (in the middle of his incestuous affair with her), Chris asked Barbara about her relationship with Jack.

{{quote|Short story of it is that Jack and Barbie went out, sexed up, knocked her up.

Then he hit the road; was not in it to be a daddy. The life on the open road called out to him more.|Chris on Jack}}

Chris also mentioned that no photos of Jack were kept at home, though they did have photos of Jerry.<ref>[[WCT DMs#Barbara's ex]]</ref>

Jack died in 2010 at the age of 81 in Winston-Salem.

===Jerry Harmon===
[[Image:JerryHarmonandBarb.PNG|thumb|Jerry Harmon performing magic tricks with Barb assisting him, December 1968.]]
[[Image:Jerry_Harmon_WRVA_Bio.JPG|thumb|Jerry's employee bio in a booklet published by radio station WRVA, 1950.]]

'''Walter Jerome "Jerry" Harmon, Jr.''' was Barbara's second (or third) ex-husband and the alleged sinister stepfather of [[Cole Smithey]], Chris's older half-brother. Jerry was born on July 1st, 1931 in {{w|Springfield, Massachusetts}} but grew up in {{w|Millboro, Virginia}} and later Richmond. Jerry's father died when he was 18 months old.<ref name="HarmonVDAdamo">https://scholarlycommons.law.wlu.edu/va-supreme-court-records-vol195/14/</ref> Much like Bob, Jerry had a technical background; he had graduated from {{w|Capitol Technology University}} (then Capital Radio Engineering Institute) in {{w|Laurel, Maryland}} and worked as a {{w|Broadcast_engineering|broadcast engineer}} at local radio station WRVA around 1950.<ref>https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-Station-Albums/WRVA-25th-II.pdf WRVA 25th Anniversary booklet, W. Jerome "Jerry" Harmon bio top center of page 8.</ref> In April 1951, Jerry fathered a child out of wedlock with Nancy Louise Janetos. The mother offered the child up for adoption until she and Jerry married in September of 1951. The couple eventually regained custody of their baby in 1953 following a legal case ''Harmon v. D'Adamo''<ref name="HarmonVDAdamo" /> that was taken all the way to the Virginia Supreme Court. At some point, Jerry ended up in the military, which Cole has written about in two articles. According to Cole, Jerry was a combat medic during the Korean War before switching his role to train his soldiers in specialized combat techniques, such as decapitation using piano wire (with watermelons standing in for actual heads during this training). He was also a captain in the Civil Air Patrol and would pilot planes during and after the Korean War. One time, he was injured after crash-landing his plane during a fighter pilot mission in Korea.

According to the adoption court case records, Jerry wished to further study medicine at {{w|University of Richmond}}, though it is unclear if this ever happened. Somewhat ironically, while married to Barb, Jerry served in different roles with the Richmond [[Chris and mental healthcare|Mental Health]] Association,<ref>https://www.newspapers.com/image/829546397/?terms=%22Jerry%20Harmon%22%20&match=1 Richmond Times-Dispatch 28 Jan 1973</ref> where he was known for building a model of the human nervous system, which he brought to speaking engagements.

Barbara claims to have married Jerry after her relationships with Jack Dale Smithey and Ran Coleman Yeatts. However, in the course of Cole's investigation into his family history, he was unable to find a marriage certificate.<ref name="Cole Smithey E-mails" /> That being said, there is a divorce record which claims that Jerry and Barbara married on 18 June 1968 in Washington D.C. and divorced on 7 January 1980 after one year of living apart, three weeks before Bob had divorced his first wife Patricia. In a Facebook comment from 2020, Cole claims that Jerry adopted him in 1966.<ref>https://www.facebook.com/blendonlodge339/posts/1084760088251976</ref><ref name="colesmithey">https://www.colesmithey.com/articles/2017/09/operation-snowball-my-first-career-in-show-business.html</ref>

{{quote|I grew up in an abusive household with Barbara and my former stepfather Jerry, where physical and mental punishments ran the gamut from bare-assed beatings to cold showers to bizarre scenarios acted out with glee by two deeply neurotic adults...

[[Image:JerryBarb&Cole.jpg|thumb|Jerry Harmon with Barbara and young Cole in late 1960s/early 1970s]]
In both his article "[[Saturday Night Special]]" and "[[Operation Snowball|Operation Snowball: My First Career in Show Business]]," Cole would further elaborate on his first stepfather in his early life and later life (look above). According to Cole, Jerry was a professional magician for decades since he was 20, was a dedicated {{w|Freemasonry|freemason}} and was an active member of the Invisible Lodge. Jerry lived with Barbara in a second-floor apartment adjacent to the campus of Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond during the early 1970s. Jerry allegedly kept a gun in his nightstand drawer, which his stepson would play with, and was out cheating on his wife when an intruder came to the apartment, forcing Barb to retrieve and fire the gun to scare them off. The shot ricocheted off the floor and the apartment's steel door and nearly killed Cole as a result, hitting the wall a hair's breadth behind his head. Cole would later remove the first article from his blog.

Cole describes how Jerry, Barb, and himself took part in an annual traveling magic show which performed at mental hospitals and veteran hospitals in Virginia every [[Christmas]] season from 1967 to 1976. The trio performed under the name of "King Karnak, Barbie, and Cole". Each show would end with Jerry chopping off Barb's head with a guillotine. During this time and later of his life, Jerry worked as a radio announcer for WEZS radio station. Cole claimed that the former Virginia Governor {{w|Mills Godwin}} would pilot them around in a Cessna Twin-Engine plane to their magic show and Jerry would sometimes pilot the plane.

Cole would further elaborate more about Jerry. He was an ambulance driver for the Richmond volunteer rescue squad; he also taught [[Jerkop|police recruits]] Standard First Aid before he began working for the mental health agency headquartered at Monument Avenue. Cole even said that Jerry cared about mental health movements so much that the whole purpose for the magic show performance at local hospitals were to provide entertainment for the patients, war veteran patients and mentally ill patients. Aside from this, Jerry was also the owner of his own company Karnak Enterprises, which specializes in production work, special effects and entertainment.<ref name="colesmithey" /><ref>https://www.facebook.com/blendonlodge339/posts/1084760088251976</ref><ref>http://sjf.stparchive.com/Archive/SJF/SJF01221981P08.php</ref> Interestingly, Jerry married a woman named Rose LaNora Lotts in 1981, whom he first met when she was employed as an assistant for his "King Karnak" act, suggesting that she replaced Barb in more ways than one.<ref>http://sjf.stparchive.com/Archive/SJF/SJF01221981P08.php</ref>

Barbara worked for several years as a finance secretary for numerous companies and businesses, included Virginia Power (VEPCO, today called [[Wikipedia:Dominion Energy|Dominion Energy]]) and First North American National Bank (partnered with {{w|Circuit City}}.)<ref>https://sonichu.com/cwcki/Date_with_Emily#Eating_spaghetti_and_conversing_(0:36:49%E2%80%930:44:46):~:text=Bob%3A%20And%20uh%2C%20she%20worked%20for%2C%20um%2CCircuit%20City%20for%20a%20while%20before%20she%20retired.</ref>
<ref name=younger></ref>

In September [[1993]], Chris and Bob moved from Ruckersville to Chesterfield County near Richmond so that Chris would be able to attend middle school at a mainstream school.<ref>[[Chris's Wikipedia profile#His Early Years - Birth to 1992]]</ref> Barbara did not accompany them and remained in Ruckersville. Chris claimed that the separation allowed Barbara to continue working at her job until retirement and that she still visited Bob and Chris every weekend during the time she lived separately from them. After going into retirement when Chris was in the eighth grade (early 1996), Barbara came to live with her husband and son in Chesterfield.<ref>[[Mailbag 32#Chris is no stranger to stupid name changes]]</ref><ref>[[:Image:0078-CWCNote2.jpg]]</ref>

With both Barbara and Bob retired, they spent their twilight years from 2000 onward living in their Ruckersville home with Chris. It is difficult to ascertain what their relationship was like, but sources such as the tour of the house would suggest that Chris's parents neglected the [[14_Branchland_Court|family home]] and spent most of their time apart in separate areas of the house. According to Chris, Barbara had not had sex with Bob for at least two decades before his death. They began sleeping in different rooms sometime around the mid-2000s "because they're not as close as they should, used to or can be".<ref>[[IRC (27 December 2008)]]</ref> It can be presumed that as they got older, they grew more distant, but never to the point of wanting a divorce.

Barbara became a widow on 6 September 2011 when Bob died.<ref name="BobObit">http://web.archive.org/web/20130211071324/http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/dailyprogress/obituary.aspx?n=robert-franklin-chandler&pid=153539600</ref>

==Relations with Chris==

[[File:Barbara1993cropped.png|thumb|Barb c. 1993.]]
[[Image:0033-MommasBirthday.jpg|thumb|Age was not kind to Barb.]]

===Abuse and manipulation===
{{quote|And he told me of mom saying she was going to pack up and leave the house, then I ran downstairs, finding her on the couch; she was soo miserable and sad; she talked of Wanting to Die, "you don't even have to change my clothes, you can just bury me in what I have on." I was soo sad and crying and soo sorry for the way I misbehaved; we hugged and made up a bit.|An example of Barb's manipulation.<ref name=magfest>[[LoveYouLongTime E-mails, 2011-2012#Borb vs MAGfest]]</ref>}}

Barb has had a long history of abusing and/or [[Chris and manipulation|manipulating]] her children. For example, she has often used threats of suicide to guilt Chris into obeying her whims. When Bob and Chris once tried to discuss cleaning the hoard with Barb, she responded by threatening suicide.<ref>[[Kiwi Farms posts (Marvin)#Barb's Hoarding]]</ref>
She also threatened suicide to her family during the [[Ivy]] Saga, supposedly as a response to the stress she was going through.<ref name="IvyQ&A"/>

In an episode from 2011, when Chris failed to book himself a hotel room for [[MAGfest]], due to being broke, and planned to sleep in his car,<ref>[[Jackie E-mails 29]]</ref> Barb prevented him from going by pointing out the, "...crime risk and chilly temperatures," threatening to lock him out of their house, claiming that she would pack up and leave, and later told him she wanted to die. After Chris folded and went to his room to cry about it, she gave him a "half-payment of a copy of DC Universe Online to make up for not allowing [him] to go."<ref name=magfest></ref> Later that year, after Chris became a [[tomgirl]], Barb tried to stop him from wearing dresses and make-up by telling him she feared he would kill her. She then ordered him to sit down, and she cut his hair.<ref name="jackie26"></ref>

In addition, Barb has used the specter of old age for her own gain, by manipulating Chris into thinking she will have a heart attack. This tactic has been used so often that Chris will panic and call 911 if Barb does not answer the phone when he calls her to check up on her when he is out of the house.<ref>[[Kiwi Farms posts (Marvin)#Welfare Check on Barbara]]</ref> When Barb and Chris were both arrested for [[assault and battery]], Chris was extremely worried about her health, saying in an email:

{{quotebox|My mother fought the police in my defense, and she was handcuffed and I was emotionally distraught, I screamed and Screamed and SCREAMED, until an ambulance came for my mother to take her to UVA Hospital; she was okay, but her Blood Pressure was high.

I prayed a LOT to Jesus for my release and safe return home with my mother. And I banged the cell door with both my feet while lying on a folding mattress on the floor (to get those bastards to let me see and talk to my mother

Only after seeing my mother in her suit pass by my second cell, did I start to calm down. I was REALLY WORRIED about my mother and her health. She Needed Me, and I Needed Her.}}

[[Marvin]] summed up Chris's relationship with Barb:

{{quoteboxgreen|Well, I don't think they talk very much. However, no, Chris is Barb's hand servant. She screams for him and he comes running. She has him change the newspaper the dogs shit on, she has him run errands to bring her stuff, and she used to have him haul her goodwill crap to the car, and then from the car into the house.

''...''

I think Barb's yelling has gotten much less frequent nowadays. It seems like she's pretty feeble nowadays. Chris is just as scared of Barb as he used to be though. I don't think he realizes how much power he has over Barb nowadays.

They're really physically affectionate in a strange way. Chris is pretty touchy feely with women because of habits he learned by spending time with Barb.<ref name=qualified>[[Kiwi Farms posts (Marvin)#Barb and Chris]]</ref>}}

After Bob died, Barb's abuse of Chris escalated. According to Marvin, she treated him as a hand servant and forced him to be on-call at all times. Around [[2013]], she forced Chris to move out of his bedroom, specifically so she could bark orders at him more efficiently, by throwing a tantrum and wrecking his possessions.

{{quoteboxgreen|a few months to a year before the fire, Chris stopped being permitted to sleep separately from Barb, in his bedroom. He had to sleep closer to Barb, because she needed to be able to yell for him to go to [[sheetz]] and buy her crap, and he wasn't able to hear her up in his bedroom. He kind of tried to resist at first, but then she got super pissed and threw a tantrum. She wrecked his room and like flipped everything over because he was trying to sleep on his own.<ref name=qualified/>}}

===Financial exploitation===
{{quote|she is also being Very Annoying. “Christine, Let’s put this random good item on eBay. I REALLY Need the Money for not only my bill payments, but also, we need more food here. I am greedy too.”

“OH! You sold something of Yours? I Want $50 From That”, she is constantly pestering and bugging me. Nowadays, Nearly every time she comes downstairs to talk or chill, my Impulsive, Subconscious feeling of her presence is Cringe and “Oh, No! She’s gonna Bug Me Again of the Da** Finances Again!”|Chris<ref>[[September 2018 social media posts]]</ref>}}

[[Image:0028-ChristopherWMom1.jpg|thumb|[[Affair with Mother|Horrifyingly qualifies as foreshadowing.]]]]

According to Cole, Bob and Barbara left Chris alone every day for years with the [[abusive babysitter]] while going out drinking, effectively ignoring the manifestation of the earliest symptoms of autism.<ref>[[:Image:Cole 07-03-06-3.PNG|6 March 2007 email from Cole to Chris, page 3]]</ref> After Chris's initial diagnosis, and after their negligence was inevitably thrown back in their face, Barbara resorted to any means necessary to coax Chris into talking, most notoriously by bribing him with toys.<ref>[[Song of Christian]]</ref>

[[Image:ImWorkingOnIt.png|thumb|left|Chris and Barbara in an intimate moment. A less subtle case of foreshadowing.]]

While both of Chris's parents are largely responsible for his current state, Barb has more often than not been the most active in protecting Chris from recognizing any failure or shortcoming on his part, doing everything from being his sole commission with [[Cutco]] to going as his date to his [[Manchester High School#The Senior Prom|senior prom]].

This pattern of accountability continues even into Chris's adult years. On at least two occasions, most notably after he was banned permanently, Barbara visited [[the GAMe PLACe]] attempting to protect and defend her little snowflake and argue his case with [[Michael Snyder]], but to no avail.

Barbara constantly babies Chris and tells him how handsome he is.<ref>[[Sonichu Girls]] and [[White knight emails]]</ref> She also told Chris that the reason he often "blanks out" or gets confused is not that he is an absent-minded, slothful buffoon, but that he is a "[[Chris and art|creative genius]] and is simply overwhelmed by having so many creative ideas".<ref>[[Kacey Call 12]]</ref>

However, it seems that even Barb has her limits. Like Bob, she was [[Tomboys And Tomgirls of Virginia#Re: Coming out to my parents|ashamed of Chris's effeminate escapades]], claiming that she did not raise a daughter, and that "tomgirl" is not a thing. [[Tomboys And Tomgirls of Virginia#Re: Mothers|She tried and failed]] to get Chris to stop wearing a bra and panties, even offering to pay him to stop.

===Chris and the Internet===
As first evidenced by the "GAMe PLACe/4Chan picture" incident, Barbara has some concerns over Chris's online misadventures, likely because she fears that he'll [[Jerkhief|get]] [[Bagget|arrested]] and [[28 October 2011|go to prison]]. Given some of the violent states of some of his videos and Chris's [[Arrest|track record]], she is probably not too far from the truth. She also felt Chris could be vulnerable to entrapment, as she tried to discourage Chris from meeting with [[Blanca]] because she thought it was possible Blanca would have ended up being part of a sting operation that could have resulted in Chris's arrest.<ref>[[Mumble 10]]</ref> As it turned out, Blanca was not real and was only a persona cooked up by Internet [[trolls]] seeking to humiliate Chris. She tried to screen another suspicious troll by interrogating [[Ivy]] for about half an hour, but ultimately let her speak to Chris.<ref name="IvyQ&A">[[Ivy Q&A]]</ref> Barbara even seems to suspect that [[Megan Schroeder]], one of the few women Chris has known who ''was not'' out to troll him, is partially responsible for the persecution he has endured over the years.

===Intimate behavior===
{{See also|Affair with Mother}}

From [[LittleBigPlanet]] [[Autism Tutorial Part 2]], Chris advised the parents of autistic children to "give them hugs..., even if they don't want to" and mentioned that Barb never stopped hugging him as a child, even when he didn't want to and then "eventually felt the love". Some children with ASD struggle with physical closeness regardless of the context. This experience may have decreased Chris's sense of personal space & boundaries, thinking that it's normal to hug, kiss, and touch females without their consent, even after they have explicitly told him not to.

{{quote|I, myself, Did have dreams of having sex with my mother.|[[August 2016 Facebook posts#Incestuous Thoughts|One result of Barb's parenting choices, as explained by Chris in August 2016.]]}}

To cap off their relationship, Chris revealed in private conversations with multiple people that Barb has spooned with him.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GxGU4nSlX0M ''PVCC NEW info: on Chris and Barbara spoon eachother!'' (YouTube)]</ref>

From [[Arthur Spatchcock]], on Chris sharing a bed with his mother:

{{quoteboxred|Story time, kids. Now most of us are aware of the fire; how Barb and Chris were displaced for some time while the house was getting renovated. You know how Chris was all whiny about his legos, right? Some getting melted, shit like that...well he kind of left out that his own bed was ruined as well given it had years of grease soaked into it because not bathing is so chic in his eyes. So when they got back home Chris didn't have his own bed anymore so he was sharing one with Barb instead. This came with the horrifying addendum that Barb wanted to spoon with him; I don't know if he was little spoon or big spoon but I know she was unimpressed and one night just unloaded on him angrily enough that Chris decided to get his own bed with his own money. So it goes without saying that from the time Chris and Barb got back home [[DStecks|until he got that grand]] he was sleeping in the same bed as his mother.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20190423212237/https://kiwifarms.net/threads/fb-4-11-e-begging-intensifies.19356/page-5</ref>}}

In August 2016, the [[Man in the Pickle Suit]] observed Chris and Barb in public during a court hearing:<ref>[[26 December 2014]]</ref>

{{quoteboxgreen|Barb and Chris are way too physically intimate. It's one thing to describe their creepy relationship, it's quite another to watch it IRL. They hold hands and Chris is always putting his arm around her and rubbing her shoulders sensually. That's shit I'd do to someone I'd want to bang. Not a family member. It's weird.}}

{{quote|I am not a "Bates". OMG.|Chris, in denial<ref>[[Misc texts]]</ref>}}

[[File:Home.png|thumb|right|{{w|Apocalypse Now|"The horror. The horror."}}]]

Barb's habit of cuddling with Chris had been going on since Bob was alive, and he knew of it, but, due to Barb's manipulation, he was not able to stop her.<ref>http://archive.is/zwWV9</ref> In [[August 2016]], Chris [[Honest content|admitted]] to having [[Chris and sex#Dreams of sex with Barb|incestuous fantasies about Barb]], prompting further analysis of their uncomfortably intimate relationship. Chris sometimes refers to her as [[Darling|"dear" or "darling"]], as he usually does for [[DoopieDoOver|would-be sweethearts]]. In his [[Twitch#CLog 04172018 - Buy My Toys|April 2018 Twitch stream]], when Chris got his mother to reluctantly say "[[Random-access humor|turn me loose, you silly goose]]" after hugging him, he commented that she "used to do that more [[Chris and English|flirtingly]]".

In [[June 2021]], not long before his [[Affair With Mother|incestuous relationship]] with his mom allegedly began, Chris, [[Honest Content|completely unprompted]], claimed in a [[Facebook]] post that he and Barb had never slept in the same bed:<ref>[[June 2021 social media posts#CPU stuff and Barb]]</ref>

{{quotebox|Also, during the time my mom and I slept in my bedroom, we slept in Separate Furniture; she slept on the couch, and I slept in the bed. She and I Never ever had slept in the same bed together during those short months between ‘11 and ‘12.

Never in the same bed. ⚡️💙⚡️}}

Throughout 2021, Chris was feeling several instances of sexual frustration, hitting on [[MKRNightVee|several]] [[Annie Ikenberry|women]] [[Isabella Loretta Janke|of]] [[Fiona|interest]]. It has gotten to the point where Chris would release all of this sexual tension on Barbara in mid-June, where he would continuously have sexual intercourse with her every three days. The context in which this has all happened is hazy at best, as information on the affair primarily came from an [[Incest Call|infamous call]] where he describes incestuous acts, and a few leaked chats Chris had with people. Throughout his affair with Barbara, Chris would hint at having such an affair online, calling Barbara a "sweetheart over 50". Sometime after [[Fiona]] had leaked a chunk of the call on a Discord Server, which would soon after be posted onto various websites by her friends, several concerned observers would contact authorities about the affair, leading to his arrest.

===Post-incest===
{{dated}}
A major change that came from the summer 2021 incestuous [[Affair with Mother]] is that Barbara and Chris no longer live together as of late [[July 2021]]. On the 30th, Chris was served an Emergency Protective Order [[ban]]ning him from [[14 Branchland Court]] (Barbara's house in which he had lived).<ref name=nullsummary></ref> After his nearly two-year stay in [[Central Virginia Regional Jail]] on a charge of incest, Chris went to live at [[Gateway Homes]] for a brief time, then [[Caden Peck]] financed a home in [[Big Island, VA]] in which Chris currently lives.

Chris has been observed returning to 14 Branchland Court. On 4 [[September 2023]], a [[r/ChrisChanSonichu]] user photographed his [[Son-chu|car]] in the driveway.<ref>[[Fan visits#nemo1316]]</ref> On 7 [[November 2023]], another r/ChrisChanSonichu user claimed to have seen both Barbara and Chris at the house. The user alleged that Chris mentioned having taken Barbara shopping and that he was taking some belongings to his house.<ref>[[Post-jail sightings (2023)#14 Branchland Court]]</ref> In [[April 2024]], ''[[The Chris Chan Conspiracy]]'' creator GamerFromMars claimed that Chris had told him that he visits Barbara about once a month.<ref>[[The Chris Chan Conspiracy#Interview comments]]</ref>

[[File:X - Kamala Harris 2024 sign1.jpeg|thumb|150px|Barbara seen at center window]]
Chris has also occasionally alluded to returning to the house on social media. On 22 [[April 2024]], he uploaded [[Harvesting Process, Gravel at the Sonichu Temple]], which shows him gathering gravel in the driveway. In [[September 2024]], he posted photos of his custom-drawn [[yard]] sign supporting [[Kamala Harris]]'s run for the presidency; in one photo, Barbara can be glimpsed in the window.

==Quirks==
===Meals===
The night after the Chandler family moved back to Ruckersville in [[2000]], Bob and Chris refused a spaghetti dinner offered by Barb. As a response, Barb decided to forgo cooking for her family and did not make a meal for Chris for at least eleven years afterwards. Chris mentioned in [[2011]] that she was still upset over it:<ref name=jackie24>See emails sent by [[Jackie E-mails 24|Chris to Jackie on 24 and 26 April 2011]].</ref>

{{quote|The spaghetti topic is soo yesterdecade, but apparently she remembers it as well as having a very close relative pass away. Obviously I can empathize with that; I still have my chip on the shoulder from [[Michael Snyder]] banning me from the [[The GAMe PLACe|Game & Hobby Place]]|Chris in a 2011 email<ref name=jackie24></ref>}}

Barb may have resumed making meals at some point. In a [[September 2019]] chat, Chris said he was concerned over his hypertension and "told Barbara to kill the spicy foods for a while."<ref>[[The Place chats - Ben Saint]]</ref>

In a [[May 2016]] begging video, Chris claimed to need money for food, and gave as an example bananas, which he said Barb liked to eat.<ref>[[Donations, Please, plus Live Game Stream tonight.]]</ref>

In the mid-2010s, Barb's doctor advised that she drink meal replacement shakes.<ref>[[September 2018 social media posts#Dynamics between Chris and Barb]]</ref> In [[Minor Update, Handouts!]], a set of begging videos from [[May 2017]], Chris asked his audience for money, claiming it was needed to pay for more of Barb's meal shakes, and admitted he had [[neglect]]ed to buy enough for the month. Barb also made an appearance in which she mentioned consuming the meal shakes. Barb again mentioned the meal shakes during a livestream in [[April 2018]], saying that she liked them and referred to them as "chocolate milkshakes."<ref>[[CLog 04172018 - Buy My Toys]]</ref>

In the [[August 2018]] video [[Shoe Colouring]], Barb mentioned that she did some cooking for her dinner and lunch, which consisted of chicken, fish, and half a can of yams.

==Health problems==
===Weight===
[[Image:Cheers01.jpg|thumb|Artist's depiction.]]

Like Chris, Barbara was [[obesity|obese]] at the time of his discovery by the internet. As late as the 1990s, Barbara was reasonably slim, but she, along with Chris, ballooned out as the 2000s rolled along, to the point of resembling English serial killer {{w|Rose West}}. Her massive size earned her the affectionate nickname '''Snorlax''' from the [[trolls]]. Barb's size may have led to her [[Chris and stress|sleeping a lot]]<ref>[[BlueSpike PSN Chat 3.7]]</ref> and usually skipping [[Wesley Memorial United Methodist Church|church]].<ref>[[Church audio]]</ref>

However, according to eyewitness reports, Barbara lost weight in 2012.<ref>[[This is how the Trial went‎]]</ref> Her weight loss is visible in photos Chris took of her at a 2012 Mythbusters tour stop in Washington, DC.<ref>[[:File:BarbMarch2012.png]]</ref>

This has continued into her old age. When she attended Chris's [[26 December 2014|court hearings]] throughout [[2015]], Christorians in attendance invariably noted that although she has lost weight, she appears to have low muscle mass; probably due to her sedentary lifestyle. In particular, at [[26 December 2014#15 October Hearing|his last hearing]], it was noted that Barb appeared to be growing increasingly frail, and appeared much more passive to Chris than she has otherwise been known to be, as she did not present as very responsive. Chris also reportedly got short with her due to her poor hearing.

In 2018, Chris decided to cash in on the Snorlax joke, claiming that his mother found it funny. He listed a plush Snorlax for sale on [[eBay]], at $200.

{{quote|Hey, Everyone! Those in the meme-know: the times when my mother used to be large and lazy, everyone called her a Snorlax. Well, Barbara likes the joke too, and can laugh it off as she is doing a lot better these days. So, one time only, she signed a Snorlax Plush, and YOU can own it; a 20% More Awesome Collectible. A personal Certificate or Letter of Authenticity will be included. Thank you.}}

==="Holey buttocks"===
In a [[Twitter|tweet]] to Cole from June 29, 2013, Chris tells him that "[he] ought to be over here putting bandages on [their] Mom's holey buttocks". It was not clear exactly what sort of problem this referred to, though it hardly sounds pleasant. On October 14, 2013, Chris elaborated in a Facebook post, stating, "my mother stresses me with her continuous rants about her damn miniature scabie flies, her suffering, the [[Financhu_Crisis|low finances]] and shit!!!". The consensus was that the so-called "holey buttocks" were, in fact, lesions. It is now believed that Barb has (or had) a colony of parasitic mites, rather than flies, that have burrowed into her prodigious posterior. Naturally, while Barb is being eaten alive by parasites other than Chris, her child whines about having to take care of her.

===Dental===
In August 2014, Chris begged for money on [[Facebook]], supposedly to pay [[List of toys|dental fees]], as he claimed his mother had cavities in her teeth that needed treatment. In July 2016, Barb herself begged for money.<ref>[[Donations Further Requested, Please]]</ref> Chris and Barb restarted begging for [[Lego|dental]] money in early 2018.

===Hearing loss===
During Chris's 2014 court hearing for [[pepper spray]]ing a [[GameStop]] employee, [[Marvin]] was in attendance and observed Chris imply that Barb had hearing loss.<ref>[[26 December 2014#15 October Hearing]]</ref>

{{quote|After a bit, the PD went up to the judge and they called Chris up. Chris starts getting impatient with Barb. He said something like "are your ears clogged up??" and then "wanna follow me so you can hear what's going on?" Then she got up and trundled up there to accompany Chris.|Marvin}}

On 20 September 2021, Reddit user e1ectricthunder visited [[14 Branchland Court]] and had a brief conversation with Barb, during which Barb had difficulty understanding what was being said.<ref>[[Fan visits#e1ectricthunder]]</ref>

===Aging===
{{quote|They treat, they treat you very badly in there. She, she would, she, she, she would never want me to put her into a home, and I would not do that.|Chris, August 2014<ref>[[Catie Date Conversation Transcript]]</ref>}}

[[File:Barb reacts to Quinn.jpg|thumb|200px|Barb, aged 76, tissue in hand, comforting Chris after [[Jessica Quinn]] broke up with him.]]

In November 2015, [[Family Needs to appreciate Family]] was uploaded to YouTube. The video is a plea for [[Cole Smithey]], [[David Alan Chandler]], and [[Carol Suzanne Chandler]] to visit Barb before "her time runs out", even though the latter two are not Barb's progeny.

On 13 July 2016, Barb unexpectedly starred in [[Donations Further Requested, Please|one of Chris's e-begging videos]]. In the minute-long video, she speaks slowly and almost inaudibly, hardly moving or blinking for the entirety of the video. While some have voiced concerns that this may be an early sign of dementia, it is just as likely that Barb, being a manipulative narcissist, was putting on an act for money. She has since re-appeared in numerous other e-begging videos from Chris, including multiple in [[August 2018]]; her appearance is frail and quite frazzled, and her sentences are often punctuated with tons of "ums" and "uhs", along with extended pauses.

[[File:Barbovertime.gif|left]]
[[File:Our signatures00001.png |thumb|right|Barb and Chris in March 2018, the former wearing the [[$400 gold necklace]].]]
In August 2016, [[Anna McLerran]] posted a photo on Facebook of herself and Barb together.<ref>[[:File:Barb and anna.jpg|With Anna, presumably in August 2016.]]</ref> In it, Barb appears to have aged significantly since her last appearance in the "Donations Further Requested, Please" video.

In November 2016, Barb escaped injury when she slipped and fell.<ref>[[November 2016 Facebook posts#Barb slips and falls]]</ref>

Chris was increasingly tasked with helping Barb around the house in her elderly age. He stated in April 2017 that he was taking caregiving classes.<ref>[[Live Game Stream - C-Log 04272017]]</ref>
{{clear}}

===Other===
In [[October 2009]], Barbara spent her birthday at the hospital with what the Chandlers thought was food poisoning.<ref name="9 October 2009">[[9 October 2009]]</ref> Barbara was diagnosed with {{w|colitis}}, a gastrointestinal disease characterized by the inflammation of the colon. It manifests in diarrhea and cramps. Which kind of colitis has yet to be determined. It seems the Chandler family's diet has finally come to affect her, and in order to survive she will have to change her eating habits; considering their stubbornness, this clearly will end badly.

Hearing the plight of the Chandler family, [[Trolls|fans]] of Sonichu created the website "Barbara Chandler Has AIDS" to spread awareness regarding AIDS and to collect donations for research foundations and charities.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20201009073942/https://sites.google.com/site/barbarachandlerhasaids/home "Barbara Chandler Has AIDS" Awareness Website]</ref> Chris himself denied the rumor.<ref name="9 October 2009"/>

On 23 August 2013, Chris claimed that Barbara had been afflicted with breast cancer but managed to survive.<ref>[[Facebook#Breast Cancer Awareness]]</ref> He did not give details about when was she diagnosed with the ailment, at what stage it was, or what kind of treatment Barb received.

In [[November 2020]], Chris mentioned that Barbara had an appointment with a cardiologist.<ref>[[The Place chats (November 2020)#Chris's Body Shakes]]</ref>

==Mental problems==
Barb is understood by most to be a highly unstable woman, and worryingly, many of her behaviors can also be observed in Chris. Many believe her to be selfish and extremely narcissistic, on account of her baseless belief that she is [[Daniel Weston|descended from]] [[Anne Boleyn|Tudor high nobility]], and the pathological manner in which she lies and assigns blame to others, even in instances where the fault clearly lies with her. All of these traits are shared by Chris, with Barb's apparent encouragement. Additionally, many aspects of her relationship with Chris are consistent with [https://web.archive.org/web/20201112020245/https://www.daughtersofnarcissisticmothers.com/mothers-with-narcissistic-personality-disorder/ narcissistic motherhood], which is a fascinating but complex topic, too lengthy to be discussed in detail here. Although Chris seems to be her [https://web.archive.org/web/20201112024302/https://www.daughtersofnarcissisticmothers.com/golden-child-and-scapegoat/ "golden child"], she does not shy from mistreating him if he displeases her. This can be seen in an email to [[Jackie]] from May 2011; Chris claimed that his mother flew into a rage over his [[tomgirl]] inclinations, forcing him to submit to a haircut and [[Death threats|threatening to kill him]].<ref name="jackie26"></ref>
===Hoarding===
Aside from her narcissism, Barb is also infamous to Christorians for her hoarding. During Chris's youth, she would create piles of clothes as tall as her son.<ref name=younger></ref> Chris has labeled her a "pack rat",<ref>[[Father Call]]</ref> and on more than one occasion has indicated his displeasure at her hoarding and the consequent state of [[14 Branchland Court|their house]], although neither he nor Bob are known to have ever seriously challenged it. Barb compulsively hoards her purchases, particularly from Goodwill, which, by [[2009]], had rendered the living room uninhabitable.<ref>[[Tour of Chris's House]]</ref> When Bob was admitted to the hospital for the final time, he was quarantined for bug bites, ostensibly due to the conditions in the Chandler household.<ref>[[Rocky Shoemaker call]]</ref> The situation did not improve after Bob's passing, either. A [[Tour of Chris's House II|second house tour video]] made by Chris in [[2013]] revealed that Barb's hoarding had gotten severe enough to render entire rooms completely inaccessible, with some rooms literally full of stuff to within inches of the ceiling, and others reduced to crevices carved into walls of junk.

Barb's hoarding was predicted by many to lead to disaster, and finally did on [[2014 house fire|10 January 2014]], when Chris accidentally started a house fire in the morning while trying to brew coffee in the bathroom, because the kitchen had been among the rooms blocked off by Barb's junk. Naturally, Barb's hoard provided ample kindling for the fire, and the house was severely damaged before the fire could be contained. In fact, given the state of the house in the second tour video, it's surprising that Chris and Barb were able to escape. Unsurprising, however, is the fact that one of the Chandlers' remaining cats died in the blaze, and one of the firefighters sent to the scene also suffered unspecified injuries.

While the Chandlers [[Rental House|relocated]], pending repairs to their home, Barb's stuff went into storage. When repairs were completed a year later, Barb had all of it moved back to 14 Branchland Court, and is not known to have disposed of any of it, even though, by all accounts, most of what she and Chris were able to salvage was subjected to either fire, smoke or water damage, rendering it completely useless. This was confirmed in April 2017, when Chris mentioned the laundry room contained a "mountain pile" of 20-40 bags of dirty, damaged clothing that had not been washed since the fire occurred.<ref>[[April 2017 Facebook posts#Offering The Classic shirt for $12,000 minimum]]</ref>
===Memory?===
Barb has also been long speculated to suffer from a form of dementia due to later video appearances (mostly begging videos) showing her as struggling with forming sentences without a degree of prompting by Chris. Some initially speculated that Chris and Barb were taking advantage of her feeble, elderly state for the purpose of emotionally manipulating their audience into giving them more donations out of pity, as there were other videos where Barb appeared to be more cognizant and seemed to be able to handle her own finances to some degree. Some people close to Chris, such as [[The Captain]], have proclaimed her to not have dementia.

{{quote|She's fully there mentally.. She can drive, hold a conversation, etc. But yeah I can't explain that [[Creepy stare|damn stare]] lol|The Captain<ref>[[Kiwi_Farms_posts_(The_Captain)#Dementia Theory]]</ref>}}

However, this statement was made in [[2018]], and it's possible in the years following that she has developed a form of cognitive disability. In light of the [[Chris and sex#Incest|incest]] situation, in which Chris noted that she seemed "partially confused" on at least one of the occasions that he jumped her bones, how much of her situation was an act (presuming if any of it was) and how much is real has been called into question.

In the [[July 2021]] [[Incest Texts]], Chris claimed that Barb has memory problems (and that his incestuous acts were helping to heal her).

{{quote|She has had memory problems at time beforehand, yes, but she is being better stimulated in her mind and soul, and it Really Shows! Her mental processing speed is even going back up.|Chris}}

Barb was evaluated at a hospital after being separated from her son and was able to return to her home after he was incarcerated, though it should still be noted that the bar for being deemed qualified enough to take care of oneself is low. In [[June 2022]], a letter from Chris claimed that Barb is suffering from a "falling mentality", although it's not clear what that entails.<ref>[[Jail Letter - 27 June 2022]]</ref>

==Legal problems==
On [[28 October 2011]], Chris and Barb were caught in an incident with [[The GAMe PLACe]] and were actually arrested with several serious charges, with Barb's including felony assault and failure to stop. The two were later released on bail. After a succession of court hearings, Barb, along with her son, was arraigned on her felony charges on 10 July 2012. She was sentenced to community service and was put on a two-year probation, as well as being ordered to pay Michael Snyder's medical bills. When informed of the latter fact during the trial, Chris explained that his mother, a retired, obese, seventy-year-old woman, would take care of the charges for him. No one was particularly surprised at this revelation.

==Financial problems==
[[File:Barb's blankets ebay listings photos 01.jpg |Barb advertising blankets for sale in summer 2018.|thumb|250px]]

Barb lives off social security ({{w|Retirement Insurance Benefits}}) and a small pension from her old job; about $14,000 a year.<ref name=charbincome>[[CWCki Forums posts (Cousin Al)#Chris and Barbara's Income]]</ref>

In 2016, Barb was sued by a Discover bank in Norfolk for not paying [[debt]]s. This came to light on [[March 2016|March 14]], [[2016]], when sharp-eyed [[Kiwi Farms|Kiwis]] noticed that she had a hearing on March 16. Since grave neglect of her debt was likely the cause of her being taken to court, it was widely assumed that she would ignore the summons too. Instead, once the court records were updated, many were surprised to see that not only had Barb attended, but she had represented herself, too. Equally unsurprisingly, this bold move failed to pay off, and Barb was still sentenced to pay $4,706.93.<ref>[[:File:Barb discover bank result.png]]</ref>

Five months later, Barb was sued again, this time by Capital One, for the same reason. The hearing in September resulted in a Default Judgement against Barb, meaning that she did not bother attending. She owes Capital One $15,906.99.<ref>[[:File:Barb vs Capital One Bank result.png]]</ref>

Her out-of-control debt was the catalyst for the [[Financhu Crisis]] of 2016.

From June through July of that year, Barb appeared in three videos:

*[[Donations Required, Serious. Please help]]
*[[Donations Requested, Please]]
*[[Donations Further Requested, Please]]

In the videos, she and Chris beg for donations, claiming to need money for her asthma medication and dental work (although they receive a combined amount of $2,500 per month from the government<ref name=charbincome></ref> and their costly hoards are clearly visible behind them). See the Appearances section for more appearances by Barb.

She has failed to take accountability for ruining the family's finances, trying to pin the blame on Chris,<ref>[[Patreon announcement]]</ref> even though her known debt of over $20,000 is much larger than Chris's.

She and Chris had an inheritance from Bob worth "tens of thousands of dollars" when he passed away, but Barb decided to frivolously spend it on [[Rob Bell]] in an attempt to gain exoneration for her [[assault and battery]] charge.

In the summer of 2018, she joined forces with Chris in selling stuff on [[eBay]], including items from her hoard and her autographs, which some fans bought.

==Appearances==

===In ''Sonichu''===
[[File:Bc.PNG|thumb|200px|Chris gets to live out his fantasy of being (and having) an adequate son.]]

In [[Sonichu 0|''Sonichu'' #0]], Barbara makes a brief appearance in "Classic Sonichu Strips".

In [[Sonichu 9|''Sonichu'' #9]], the male [[Dating education#In Sonichu|Dating Education]] students are given Barbara dolls to talk to.

In the 2015 revisions to [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]], Chris wrote out Blanca's character and replaced her with his mother.

According to the [[CWCipedia]], [[Sandy Rosechu]] and [[Sonichu and Rosechu's children]] go to Anneweston Elementary School.<ref>[[CWCipedia]] on [https://web.archive.org/web/20130831123750/http://archive.sonichu.com/cwcipedia/index.php?title=Wild_Sonichu Wild Sonichu]</ref> It is unknown whether or not Sonichu and Rosechu's children still go to that school after their [[Sonichu and Rosechu's children#Sonichu and Rosechu's children|evolution]].

[[File:Chandlers & Sonichus.jpg|200px|thumb|left]]

In [[Sonichu 11|''Sonichu'' #11]], Barb is photoshopped into a "family photo" alongside Chris, Bob and the various Chus.

[[File:Borb, Sonichu12.jpg|200px|thumb|In ''Sonichu'' #12.]]

In [[Sonichu 12|''Sonichu'' #12]], Barb is in a set of pages that is a cross between Chris writing an autobiographical account of himself coming out as a tomgirl to his parents and a tribute to his late father.

Due to Chris's Oedipal complex, Barb is depicted as much more youthful than Bob, even though she was nearly 70 at the time. She is also drawn as being freakishly tall compared to Chris and Bob, despite being shorter than both in real life, though this may just be Chris's inability to keep his characters properly proportioned at work. Barb expresses surprise at her son's announcement of being trans. Chris states that she was "hesitant for a long while", but "got used to my subtle and more changes".

This is a drastic understatement, as the real-life Barb tried to stop his [[tomgirl]] lifestyle in ways including suicide threats, guilt trips (by claiming that she was worried Chris would kill her), paying him to stop cross-dressing, and even ordering him to submit to a haircut. If her attitude towards him cooled, it was only out of resignation rather than acceptance. Evidence of this is when she became angry with him again after finding out that he had successfully changed his name in 2016.<ref>[[Kiwi Farms posts (MasterDisaster)#Name Change Drama]]</ref>

[[File:Chandler family as ponies.png|200px|thumb|left|Barb, pictured at left, as ''Sugar Darling'', in a [[My Little Pony|MLP]]-inspired drawing from [[August 2017]].]]

In August 2017, Chris unveiled a drawing of the Chandler family depicted as [[My Little Pony]] characters, saying they will make further appearances in [[Sonichu 12-9|''Sonichu'' #12-9]].

===Videos===
{{Incomplete}}
Barbara has appeared in several videos: off-camera in the [[Christian Weston Chandler Interview]], and on-camera (for the first time) in [[You're Always Pretty]]. [[ChandlerFamilyChristmas2004|Two decade-old videos]] were leaked in December 2014 showing the Chandlers celebrating Christmas. Another video of her was recorded by a [[troll]] as she and Chris left court after his hearing in February 2015.

She has most frequently appeared during the [[Financhu Crisis]].

[[Donations Required, Serious. Please help|Two more]] [[Donations Requested, Please|videos]] were released in June 2016 showing Chris begging for donations to buy asthma pills for Barbara. Barbara is shown practically dead in both of these videos so [[Chris and Death|god only knows what will happen in the near future.]]

In a [[Donations Further Requested, Please|video]] released on 13 July 2016, Barbara joins her son in shamelessly e-begging. Her voice tired and hoarse, mouth agape, she stares directly into the camera like a deer caught in the headlights.

She resumed begging in a [[EMERGENCY HOME UPDATE|video]] from April 2017, in which she wears a [[$400 gold necklace]] while asking Chris's audience to give him $1,000 in exchange for his old [[Stamps|stamp album]].

She next appeared in [[Live Game Stream - C-Log 04142017]], when she walked in while Chris was recording.

After more uploads from Chris, Barb starred in another begging video uploaded on 24 May 2017, titled [[We Said Donations No Less than $1 00, US, Please]]. Chris removed the video the next day after people threatened to report him for elder abuse.

After the last failed attempt of getting donations, Barb and Chris engaged in yet another begging video on 16 June 2017, titled [[We need immediate funds, please]]. Ironically, she wore both the [[$400 gold necklace]] and a pearl necklace.

Almost a month had passed, without any appearances from Barb. With Chris getting decent amounts of funds from his [[Patreon]] account, there no longer seemed to be a desire to beg. On 14 July 2017, she makes a small voice-only cameo in a [[Soda Awawawawa Puccho Candy Response]], screaming at him for not closing the front door. She also comments in [[Solar Eclipse Vlogs]], asking Chris if he's ready to go back inside after the eclipse ends.

Barb's first appearance on video in 2018 was in [[Selling Vintage Comic Books (Cole Smithey’s Comic Books)]]. She appeared a couple of weeks later in [[Our signatures]] to demonstrate that her signature, a key selling point in the comic sales, was real. On 9 April, Barb appeared for the seventh time during the Financhu Crisis to beg in [[Buy Our Things off of my eBay to help us, Please.]]

On 16 April, a [[April 2018 Paid Video Requests|bizarre video of a few seconds of Barb standing in a doorway]] was posted to the [[CWCki Club]]. On the 17th, she appeared as a guest on Chris's [[Twitch]] stream.

On 8 May, Barb appeared in [[WE NEED MONEY FOR MORTGAGE NOW, PLEASE!]]. Two days later, Barb appeared in [[May 2018 Paid Video Requests|paid videos giving shout-outs to school shooters Nicholas Cruz and Adam Lanza]].

She watched Chris spray-paint his shoes (and his bedroom carpet) in [[Shoe Colouring]], sitting in the same room with poor ventilation.

In the summer of 2018, she appears in multiple videos to promote her partnership with Chris's eBay business: [[My Mother WORKED Hard, Spent Hard; Needs Money NOW.]], [[Barbara Chandler will be making out autographed photos and posters.]] and [[Barbara’s Blankets]]. She then begged for her car payment money in [[Mother needs a car payment]].

[[Barb confirms she isn't dead]] was her next appearance, a rare non-begging video.

Chris (possessed by [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]]) got Barb to appear on camera in [[Watching TF2 Analysis Anarchy Red Vs Blue Part 3]] (12 June 2020).
