 Welcome to the Baker house…we laugh then holler then act like nothing happened until it's time to holler and laugh again. It's a s*** show over here. Enter at your own risk,  she captioned another post a week later.

But her posts sometimes hinted at less rosy family dynamics.

In one post for  National Sons' Day  last year, the mom wrote that her Brandon was  a sweet guy  - but then noted  his mouth and attitude.

 He's a calm presence until he isn't. He marches to the beat of his own drum,  Samantha continued in the caption.

And in a final birthday post dedicated to him, in September, she wrote,  You are an amazing person and yet at the same time you make my blood boil.

More recently, in January, Samantha reposted a head-scratching meme that read:  Gentle parenting is for gentle children. My thugs will be handled accordingly. 

She shared a similar - now eerie meme - last May as well. It read:  Only parents with gentle children can gentle parent. The rest of us have to square up, and fight for our lives with the tiny bullies we made,  alongside her caption,  And I do square up! I don't have gentle kids! They are feral. 

According to Scurry, Samantha ultimately put her foot down on Sunday, ending the argument.

 She [got] the final say and that was for him to go do his chore, which is to mow the lawn  - which he then did, she recalled.

 I always saw him mowing the lawn … so it didn't seem like it was a problem for him to do it that day,  added Scurry, who said it was her first time hearing the family argue in roughly one year since she moved next door.

Brandon is now facing murder and attempted murder charges after Samantha and her husband, 46-year-old Lance Baker, were found with numerous stab wounds hours later at around 9 p.m., according to cops.

The bloodbath began after the parents got into a separate argument with their son over a disciplinary issue inside the house, Baldwin County Sheriff's Office Captain Justin Correa told The Post Wednesday.

That's when Brandon grabbed the knife and began wielding it at his mom and dad - stabbing them both repeatedly as they fled outside in a desperate bid to escape, according to cops and Scurry.

 You can hear both of them coming out of the house, and there's like one scream from the mom,  said Scurry, whose Nest camera picked up audio of the sickening assault.

 Then the dad is arguing with the [son] - and when I say arguing, I mean like,  Why are you doing this?' … He's basically saying,  I don't want to die. Please stop. No.' And then he's repeating,  Somebody help me, please, help me' very loudly,  the shaken neighbor explained.

At one point, the audio captures the teen  telling [the dad] he was gonna kill him. Those words are in the video,  she added.

Lance's spine-chilling screams could still be heard as he ran door to door down the block, leaving bloodied handprints on neighbors' front doors while seeking help - with his son right on his tail, according to Scurry.

The teen eventually went back home and called 911, said authorities, who described the attack as an isolated domestic matter.

Cops arrested him without incident, according to Correa.

Samantha, a realtor, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Before the coroner arrived,  I saw her face down with stab wounds all over her back,  Scurry told The Post.

Lance, a US Army Reserve Battalion Commander with the 1184th Deployment and Distribution Support Battalion in Mobile, was flown to a local hospital in critical condition, according to cops.

As of Wednesday, the father of two was still in the hospital, where he's in stable condition, Correa said.

The teen, who will be tried as an adult, is being held in jail on a $1 million bond after his arraignment on Monday.
