Barbara Chandler

Note on Credibility: Barbara Chandler has been deemed to be an unreliable narrator for the following reasons: • Barb has a long history of manipulating people. • She might also have dementia or some other cognitive disability. Alternatively, she may be faking dementia symptoms on camera. Bear this in mind, and use healthy skepticism when taking statements from the subject being discussed.

NOTE: Barb has not been confirmed to have dementia. News articles, videos, and posts often state that she does without a source; however, there has been no known medical diagnosis. It is impossible to diagnose Barb simply from her appearances in Chris's videos, as these are begging videos in which she may be playing up symptoms for the camera, and she has a well-known history of manipulating people. Multiple people who have interacted with her off-camera have reported that she is completely mentally sound, and she is known to drive and do other things not commonly done by people with dementia. On the other hand, Chris called Barb 'zombie-like' in his jail letters, and she has gotten into at least one major car accident in recent years. Ultimately, it is impossible to know for sure, and, while theorization is okay, it is ideal not to confirm or deny it on this wiki without further evidence.

Barbara 'Barb' Ann Chandler (née Weston, formerly Yeatts and Smithey; born 1 October 1941) 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. 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 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 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 "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 an incestuous relationship with Barbara, claiming to have sex every three nights. A month later, on 27 July 2021, Chris decided to brag about the identity of his sexual partner in a call over the Signal app and 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 banned from the house and from contact with Barbara for a week, and Barbara was sent to the hospital for a senior care inspection. On 1 August, Chris was arrested at a motel in Richmond and charged with incest.

Barbara returned to her residence at some point in August 2021. In an October 2021 letter to a fan, Chris mentioned that he had received a letter from Barbara during his stay in jail.

In November 2021, Barbara failed to yield the right-of-way while driving and was injured in a car crash from which she suffered two broken ribs and a concussion and her van was wrecked, and she was helped to recover from it by extended family members.

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 (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

“	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

Barbara is the fifth child (out of eight) of Joseph Otto "Joe" Weston (1896–1955), a lifelong farmer and a veteran of World War I and Carrie Edna Wynn (1911–1967), a housewife and later a shoe company worker for Lynchburg-based Craddock-Terry Shoe Company. They married in February 1927, when Carrie was 15 years old and Joseph was 30. They lied about their ages in their marriage certificate. Joe died in 1955, after falling from a horse-drawn wagon. 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. 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.

Barb, emboldened by her hoard, evolved into a Snorlax over time.

Barb grew up in a low-income farming household in 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. She graduated from Randolph-Henry High School in Charlotte Court House, Virginia in 1960. Due to family poverty, she was obliged to sew her own clothing. While at Randolph-Henry, she was treasurer of her school's chapter of the 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 Tom Ashby, who would later marry her younger sister Harriet. According to a 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 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 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 masturbated.

Shortly after graduating from high school in 1960, Barb left Red Oak and, "...decided to set off on her own... 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. 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.

According to Chris, Barb majored in "accounting and numbers." Where Barb attended college is unknown, but it may have been 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

Cole visits for Chris's 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. Ultimately, however, she ended up working in a series of secretarial roles, including at Reynolds Metals Company.

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.

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

Based on his experiences with various stepfathers, Cole thinks that Barbara has a "...proclivity to isolate herself via scurrilous mates." The use of "scurrilous" in this statement makes no sense, suggesting Cole tries to use big words to impress people – a family trait, perhaps.

Ran Coleman Yeatts

Cole's TRUE and HONEST biological father, Ran Coleman Yeatts Sr., from the 1961 Wake Forest College yearbook.

Barbara in her wedding dress at age 19, June 1961

Records found by Cole in Richmond show that Barb married one Ran Coleman Yeatts on June 17, 1961. Yeatts was born on 27 December 1939 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia but grew up in 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 Park View High School from South Hill in 1957 and later that year he was enrolled at Wake Forest College in Winston-Salem, North Carolina (now Wake Forest University). An Alpha Sigma Phi brother, He graduated from Wake Forest with a BA degree in human resources management before April 1961, a few months before he and Barb married. 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 personnel technician for DPT, was living in Richmond at the time of the marriage, while Barb, a secretary, 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 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". After Cole hired a private detective, Barbara hung up on him when he called to ask about his father.

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.

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. 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 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. Cole eventually hired a private detective who tracked down Jack Smithey in Sarasota, Florida.

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".

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

“	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.

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

Jerry Harmon

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 Springfield, Massachusetts but grew up in Millboro, Virginia and later Richmond. Jerry's father died when he was 18 months old. Much like Bob, Jerry had a technical background; he had graduated from Capitol Technology University (then Capital Radio Engineering Institute) in Laurel, Maryland and worked as a broadcast engineer at local radio station WRVA around 1950. 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 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 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 Mental Health Association, 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. 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.

“	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... Even at a very young age, I knew that they would abandon me. They were both irresponsible and incompetent parents who exposed me to traumas that I would rather not remember.	”
Cole on Barb and Jerry's parenting skills.

“	He might not have been the best dad, but Jerry was a humanitarian, as evidenced by his actions.	”
Cole being more charitable towards Jerry.

Jerry Harmon with Barbara and young Cole in late 1960s/early 1970s

In both his article "Saturday Night Special" and "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 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 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 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. 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.

Life with Bob

“	He is only interested in making things look like he did 'em, it was his idea and I really didn't have anything to do with it. Even when I help him. I get no credit for anything. He never gives me credit to my face. Or if he's talking to anybody else. Just like he tells you sometimes, “Well I don't get no help from your mother.”	”
Barb ranting about her husband to Chris

1980 6 7 - Borb's marriage license

Bob and Barbara met at "Maddy's Pub" in Richmond (probably Matt's British Pub in Shockoe Slip, where Bob was a sing-along leader) one night in 1979. Barbara was there with friends and Bob was singing. Cole's friend Chuck, who worked at the bar, vividly recalled them being a pair of drunken dumbasses. According to Chris, Barbara did the pursuing: "She chased him down the hall." They married in 1980. Chris claims that, "Barbara, In her own words, Married him because 'He owned a house'." Later that year Bob was transferred from Richmond to Charlottesville. They settled in the outlying suburb of Ruckersville.

Barbara worked for several years as a financial secretary for numerous companies and businesses, included Virginia Power (VEPCO, today called Dominion Energy) and First North American National Bank (partnered with Circuit City.)

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. 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.

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 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". 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.

Treatment of Chris

Barb c. 1993.

Age was not kind to Barb.

Abuse and manipulation

“	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.

Barb has had a long history of abusing and/or 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. She also threatened suicide to her family during the Ivy Saga, supposedly as a response to the stress she was going through.

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, 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." 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.

It also appears that Chris's diet is not a concern for Barb. The night after the Chandler family moved back to Ruckersville, Bob and Chris refused a spaghetti dinner offered by Barb. As a response, Barb decided to forgo cooking for her family and has not made a meal for Chris since then.

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. When Barb and Chris were both arrested for assault and battery, Chris was extremely worried about her health, saying in an email:

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.

The Man in the Pickle Suit summed up Chris's relationship with Barb:

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.

After Bob died, Barb's abuse of Chris escalated. She treated him as a slave 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.

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.

Financial exploitation

“	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!”	”

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. 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.

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 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.

As first evidenced by the "GAMe PLACe/4Chan picture" incident, she is extremely paranoid regarding Chris's online misadventures, likely because she fears that he'll get arrested and go to prison. Given some of the violent states of some of his videos and Chris's track record, she is probably not too far from the truth. She may also suspect that Chris is a pedophile, as she thought it was possible that he may have fallen for a To Catch a Predator-esque sting operation during the Julie fiasco. She 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. She does her part to keep his activities under control by acting as Chris's personal concierge, as seen when she interrogated Ivy for about half an hour before letting her speak to Chris.

Barbara constantly babies Chris and tells him how handsome he is. 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 "creative genius and is simply overwhelmed by having so many creative ideas".

However, it seems that even Barb has her limits. Like Bob, she was ashamed of Chris's effeminate escapades, claiming that she did not raise a daughter, and that "tomgirl" is not a thing. She tried and failed to get Chris to stop wearing a bra and panties, even offering to pay him to stop.

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.

“	I, myself, Did have dreams of having sex with my mother.	”
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.

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

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 until he got that grand he was sleeping in the same bed as his mother.

In August 2016, the Man in the Pickle Suit observed Chris and Barb in public during a court hearing:

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.

“	I am not a "Bates". OMG.	”
Chris, in denial

"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. In August 2016, Chris admitted to having incestuous fantasies about Barb, prompting further analysis of their uncomfortably intimate relationship. Chris sometimes refers to her as "dear" or "darling", as he usually does for would-be sweethearts. In his April 2018 Twitch stream, when Chris got his mother to reluctantly say "turn me loose, you silly goose" after hugging him, he commented that she "used to do that more flirtingly".

In June 2021, not long before his incestuous relationship with his mom allegedly began, Chris, completely unprompted, claimed in a Facebook post that he and Barb had never slept in the same bed:

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 several women of 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 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.

Barb spent the next few years after her son's arrest either living with relatives or back at 14 Branchland Court. Once Chris's charges were fully dropped, he was seen returning to his place of residence. Try not to think too hard about that.

Health problems

Mental

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 descended from 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 narcissistic motherhood, which is a fascinating but complex topic, too lengthy to be discussed in detail here. Although Chris seems to be her "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 threatening to kill him.

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. Chris has labeled her a "pack rat", and on more than one occasion has indicated his displeasure at her hoarding and the consequent state of 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. 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. The situation did not improve after Bob's passing, either. A 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 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 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.

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.

“	She's fully there mentally.. She can drive, hold a conversation, etc. But yeah I can't explain that damn stare lol	”
The Captain

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 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. 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. A later visit by Chris's fans, where Barb did not know that she was being recorded, may have demonstrated that she has a degree of difficulty with cognitive function, or at least that she suffers from hearing loss. This would also somewhat explain the reason behind the November 2021 traffic collision that she was involved in, where she failed to yield the right-of-way and got T-Boned by a tractor-trailer on the driver's side. Since then, she's presumably had to rely on senior caregivers and extended family to live off of since her youngest is too preoccupied with other matters to take care of her. In June 2022, a letter from Chris confirmed that Barb is suffering from a "falling mentality", although it's not clear what that entails.

Weight

Artist's depiction.

Like Chris, Barbara was 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 Rose West. Her massive size earned her the affectionate nickname Snorlax from the trolls. Barb's size may have led to her sleeping a lot and usually skipping church.

However, according to eyewitness reports, Barbara lost weight in 2012. Her weight loss is visible in photos Chris took of her at a 2012 Mythbusters tour stop in Washington, DC.

This has continued into her old age. When she attended Chris's 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 his last hearing, it was noted that Barb appeared to be growing increasingly frail and possibly senile, as she did not present as very responsive, and appeared much more submissive to Chris than she has otherwise been known to be. 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.

“

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 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 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 dental fees, as he claimed his mother had cavities in her teeth that needed treatment. In July 2016, Barb herself begged for money. Chris and Barb restarted begging for dental money in early 2018.

Hearing loss

During Chris's 2014 court hearing for pepper spraying a GameStop employee, Marvin was in attendance and observed Chris imply that Barb had hearing loss.

“	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.

Memory loss

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

“	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

Aging

“	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

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 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.

In August 2016, Anna McLerran posted a photo on Facebook of herself and Barb together. 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.

Chris has been increasingly tasked with helping Barb around the house in her elderly age. He stated in April 2017 that he was taking caregiving classes. Barb is seen in Minor Update, Handouts!, a begging video, in which Chris demands money because Barb drinks costly "meal replacement shakes", possibly referring to a drink such as Ensure.

Other

In October 2009, Barbara spent her birthday at the hospital with what the Chandlers thought was food poisoning. Barbara was diagnosed with 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, fans of Sonichu created the website "Barbara Chandler Has AIDS" to spread awareness regarding AIDS and to collect donations for research foundations and charities. Chris himself denied the rumor.

On 23 August 2013, Chris claimed that Barbara had been afflicted with breast cancer but managed to survive. 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.

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

Barb advertising blankets for sale in summer 2018.

Barb lives off social security (Retirement Insurance Benefits) and a small pension from her old job; about $14,000 a year.

In 2016, Barb was sued by a Discover bank in Norfolk for not paying debts. This came to light on March 14, 2016, when sharp-eyed 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.

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.

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 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, 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

Chris gets to live out his fantasy of being (and having) an adequate son.

In Sonichu #0, Barbara makes a brief appearance in "Classic Sonichu Strips".

In Sonichu #9, the male Dating Education students are given Barbara dolls to talk to.

In the 2015 revisions to 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. It is unknown whether or not Sonichu and Rosechu's children still go to that school after their evolution.

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

In Sonichu #12.

In 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.

Barb, pictured at left, as Sugar Darling, in a 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.

• Prank calls: Barbara yells in the background and foreground of several prank calls.

Videos

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. 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.

Two more 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 god only knows what will happen in the near future.

In a 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 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 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 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 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) got Barb to appear on camera in Watching TF2 Analysis Anarchy Red Vs Blue Part 3 (12 June 2020).
