Confused? LONG STORY SHORT:
My name is Jess! I had a daughter (Lilia) at age 18 w/ my high school sweetheart. We mutually split up & co-parent to this day. I met someone new, got married, had twin boys (Kyson & Kaden) and another son (Landen). He cheated, we split ways, & he’s not around much. After juggling life as a single mom of 4 for some time, I met Chris, he had 2 sons: Caden and Tommy, who eventually became my step sons. After Chris and I got married, we had our 7th child together, Addelyn. We’re one big, complicated, blended family & every second of our story is on CZcams, you can start from the beginning here: • 8 Weeks Pregnant!
FAQ: Yes, we’re done having kids.
FAQ: Names and ages of the kids: Caden (step son, born in 2009), Lilia (daughter, born in 2010), Tommy (step son, born in 2010), Kyson (son, born in 2012), Kaden (son, born in 2012), Landen (son, born in 2014), Addelyn (daughter, born in 2016)
FAQ: Who are the dads? Gabe (Lilia’s dad), Drake (Kyson, Kaden, and Landen bio dad), Chris (Caden, Tommy, Addelyn’s dad)
As a daycare teacher, the way we handled rowdy kiddo was by trying to explain that there is a time and place when being rough and crazy is okay and there is times when we need to be calm for the sake of letting our bodies relax. It works sometimes. 🤷🏼♀️
I second this, taught pre-k for a while and I said the same thing! :)
I love that you have a relationship with Amber it’s so wonderful . Haha. What a blessing Keep making video Jess love all the smiles and laughs.
It’s a twin thing, it’s the strong bond they have between them, you and Chris are doing a wonderful job keep it up.
Maybe put them in jujitsu! It is a really great way to learn how to use their body and make sure they’re being safe!
I totally feel you. I have all boys, 3 of them. 9, 7, and 4 and that's all they do. I also get frustrated and annoyed with it, but it's how they are. Just know you're not alone. Keep raising them the way you are. ❤️
I’m 64 years old now and I raised 3 boys and I swear sometimes I thought surely they would kill or cripple one another because they wrestled constantly. It always ended up with someone getting mad or hurt. Then they got over it and just went on. So trust me honey I feel you. As they get older they do calm down so be encouraged 💕
Martial arts. It will teach self control and discipline. It helped my kids.
I established rules after my window was broken. Someone will get hurt.
You are so right, being able to have rough play with each other is good for them. But a part of why it is good is because they gain empathy. How their actions effect others. So I think a part of that is learning when it effects those around them that aren’t directly involved. If it stresses you at all I think it’s good to share that and get them to limit the time they do it. Teaches them to be aware of others around them not just each other. Also super importantly it teaches them impulse control, just because they feel like being physically in a moment doesn’t mean it is a good idea. Which is a super important lesson for teenage boys to learn!
Honestly you are such an inspiration in how well you parent so what ever you decide I wouldn't stress too much!!
What a great post, Britney!
Girl I was born and raised in the midwest where we get negative temperatures but when I recently took a trip to Turlock CA it was in the 30s and I was freezing my butt off! You are valid, everyone has different tolerances for everything in life!
I have 5 year old triplet boys who never stop being physical it's always fun until someone gets hurt and it starts from the second they wake up .. I've asked other moms of multiples and they all say theirs are the same way.. I was hoping as they got older it would mellow out but I can see that's not gonna happen
read this as 5 triplets the first time 😂😂
How sweet Chris... that's the kind of husband to treasure forever and ever..love you guys!!!
My boys are 1 and 3 and I actually encourage the rough housing, it's been proven to beneficial, siblings are basically the way they learn to interact with the world. Boundaries and the ability to stop the moment someone isn't having fun seem to work fine. In fact mr3 just goes limp and let's mr1 feel like the hulk 😂
I THINK THE “SMOKE” COMING OUT FROM THE DRYER HOLE IS A COMBO OF WARM AIR MEETING COLD AIR OUTSIDE? LIKE WHEN YOU BREATHE OUT OF YOUR MOUTH WHEN ITS SUPER COLD OUT AND YOU CAN SEE IT?! 🤷🏻♀️
I personally would put a limit on the rough play. While I think it’s okay at times, I think there has to be boundaries of not getting too violent and they also need to find other ways to play/interact in a more calm way. Also, maybe find other ways to get their energy out. Do you have a trampoline? We just got one with a safety net and it really helps my older kids (6&9) get energy out. Or maybe put them in wrestling or MMA…I have a cousin who has two brothers and they were very much like this as kids. My cousin is now a famous UFC fighter, haha. I’ve always been impressed by your boys strength and athletic ability, they will do big things!
i feel like the twins would both like wrestling and that kaden would enjoy karate and kyson would enjoy boxing
Parkour!!!
@@unapologeticallyamy9031 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@hollywoodwhore yes maybe getting them into physical activity like your saying might get their energy out.
Came to say the same thing, I would set boundaries. Send them out to swim, follow a CZcams dance video, help with chores, have a sit up/push up competition, etc. With my daughter I usually say, "You're showing me you have a lot of energy, do you want to calm your body or go ___?" And if it's pure wild and I've asked her repeatedly to calm her body, I will then give her a task lol.
Love seeing you with Amber🥰! Love you twos relationship so much! Major co-parent goals!
I'm so glad you brought this up! I'm raising 3 boys (currently on my own 😅😅) and while rough housing isn't too often while they're still little, I know the day will come. Lol but reading all the comments is so helpful in advance!
Also the teenage thing might be true. 😭 My nephew is 13 and the attitude on the stinker flips like a switch.
Much love! ❤️❤️❤️
"I'm putting the thing in the thing." XD me with anything I barely know what I'm doing.
I laugh when the kids are doing pranks and trying to vlog. Very cute.
My husband and one of his brothers were pretty rambunctious growing up. Despite injuries and going through a wall when they were teenagers, it didn't stop until they were both over 35.
PERFECT moment for Chris to pull the “well damn Jackie (Jess) I can’t control the weather” and he missed it
I have two boys (18 months apart) and two girls (one teen and one toddler) and I say the same thing you do. Boys are so far so much harder. They are constantly touching, fighting, getting hurt, and just so loud!
I do have my limits as well. It is so hard to get things done or to just think when they get started. My girls are a lot easier.
Ya’ll need to set a po box for mimi. Just so everyone can send her all the tie dye stuff. 🥰
Agreed! She just seems to be everything you could want in a Mom and as a Grandmother!!! It stands out to me because sadly my Mom has struggled mental health wise to a degree that makes her not trustworthy. Mimi seems SOLID AS A ROCK! Shes really such a neat person! I love how Jess acknowledges what she has in her Mom!!!
Looove the almost half an hour videos 😍 your editing has come so far Jess!
Thank-you for uploading Jess and your dedication to these videos
I needed this today after a tough few months
Thankyou for always making me laugh and smile through the tough times xx
I love it when Jess said “December is so last month” 🤣
My mom had my twin brothers & they were just like this. They were taught there’s a time and a place, but also we had a trampoline and they were both active in wrestling so it helped maintain their energy and moods. 🥰 much love!
I love when she says "CHRISTOPHER"
I think you are an awesome Mom! So much love I see between you and your boys!! It is so wonderful to see how close and loving you and the boys are with each other!! I think it's understandable that their constant wrestling would get to you. I bet it makes you worry about them getting hurt. But I agree with you and Chris, let to them go and break it up if they get hurt or carried away. I love your family, I have been watching you all for years!! Keep up the great parenting Jess and Chris!! 🥰💕💕💕
This is the first time I’ve heard you talk about something you’re finding tough with parenting and I’m here for it 😃.
Keep it up mama! It’s nice to know other parents find things tough x
I have four boys 9, 11, 13, and almost 15. They had their crazy rough stages and it still comes and goes. As long as they weren't hurting each other maliciously or things around them, I didn't interfere. I found me yelling at them to be careful or to watch out or whatever, just made it worse. They figured out their own boundaries as well as their brothers. I actually found it was pretty dang easy to teach them about consent that way, if a brother says stop or no, then listen to them! Easy peasy.
My son was super crazy when he was a little boy. My daughter was super chill. Now I’m watching my 4!year old grandson and, he has even more energy then my son did. But the love is all worth all the craziness!!!
As a fellow redhead that also has naturally nonexistent eyebrows… can we please get an updated eyebrow tutorial (dye, pencil, how you get them the perfect shape, etc.)? 🥺 They are always looking so good!
I have 9 year old twin boys as well and they do this too. They fight and wrestle all day long. Everything you said, I feel in the depths of my soul.
You should write a book on co parenting. You are seriously the best! Love your relationships with your modern family. ❤️👏
I have 2 girls and a 21 year old son he was so chill and easy to raise! My girls are 12 and 16 and they have so much drama and sass and hormones and attitude I believe girls are harder to raise! I hope it gets easier for you! ❤️❤️
it really just depends on situation in context for each family which is harder.
Our dryer only does that when it’s cold outside, if it’s super cold we get a ice buildup under the vent from the water vapour. Great job on the cooking too! Good for you Lilia, I learned how to sew in grade 6, you can do so much when you can sew.
Your such a great mom! I love your videos! Love you and your fam!❤️
I had 2 boys and 1 girl. My boys are 10.5 years apart and the little one wanted to rough house with the big one but of course that really couldn’t happen until they grew up - now they make up for it! I will say that they were easier to raise than my daughter - just wait for the teen years! 15 - 25 was hell!! Now we are best friends ❤️❤️
I have a 16yr old son and girl it was rough not going to lie and the older they get the back talking starts and not listening but I know in my heart it will get better...❤️💗
Growing up with two sisters, we were also fighting and rough housing a lot at that age, it's not exclusively boys 😂
I do know some people who found it benificial to enroll their kids in martial arts, like karate, because they learn strict discipline about fighting and respect.
S.A.D, Seasonal affective disorder I suffer from it too. It’s definitely a naff time of year for me and many other people Jesss, you’re not alone. X
100% my doctor once told me that the “winter blues” is actually a thing. Not just a saying
Well damn, and here I am with regular depression
I'm a preschool teacher, It just depends on what personality type the parent is. Boys vrs girls is beside the point. It's just what types if parenting is more challenging for the parent personally. Physical exertion vrs mental and emotional.
My son is going to be 16 on Valentine's Day. He was the only kid till he was almost 5. He was so easy!!! Now he is older it gets harder and harder. I have 2 girls that are 11 and 8. They definitely keep me in my toes. But I love them all dearly. ❤️😁
I had a beautiful relationship, with my husband's ex. She was 19 years older than myself, so many people would mistake us for mother and daughter. A lot of people that knew us, knew us as sisters. The only ones that knew we actually weren't, were our family and close friends. She was the best sister, anyone could have had. I miss her so much. I lost both of my parents in 2008 (1 month apart), my husband in 2010, my "sister", in 2011 and 4 more people the following year. It was a very rough few years. I've had quite a few friendships, in my lifetime. But, that one, was very special to me. No one has even come close. Most people couldn't understand the friendship we had, because of her being my husband's ex. I still don't understand how. But, I sure wish she was back, here, on earth, with me. ❤️😔
I have 4 boys (and then girls too). Three of my boys are within a year of age, with one then twins we had back to back. They're now 15, 14 and 14 play fight, which can turn into a real fight, every day since birth. I seriously needed a c-section because one twin pushed the other twin out of the way sideways 18 hrs into labor lol. OB put an ultrasound on me and realized, they're fighting, pushing and hitting each other. Starts young and instinctual. I should have been warned. My husband was a twin, with another brother less than a year younger than him & his twin. I broke up their wrestling/fighting almost dating when we were teens dating lol. All of lockdown was "No wrestling today. We can't go to the ER during Covid!!" 🤣🤣 This is my life.
This behavior was not alowed in our home. There were 3 boys (also twins) and when ever they started it, it would be nipped in the bud. Outside was fine inside no no no. This became rule after one fell accidentaly through a glass door while playfighting. Everyone was ok but it should never happen again.
Omg! I sew (Haha) happy that lillia is learning how to sew! I LOVE sewing! At school I do fashion design and it’s so fun! I’ve been sewing for a few years now and I’ve made a few skirts, tote bags, scrunchies and duffel bags! I really hope she gets better at it and has fun with it! Luv u Jessica!
Oh heavens yes, boys have the sweetest hearts I swear, but their energy is exhausting!
Mine are just 6 and 2, but usually we let the rough play happen. If you get hurt, you'll learn how to not be that rough again, and you'll learn how to make it right with who you hurt. We teach apologies and natural consequences. So far it's working out. They love each other, but GAHHHHD do they fight.
“We need to get this chest off of our list” made laugh harder than I should have lol
YOU ARE NOT ALONE!! I have two boys, 2 years apart in age and ALL THEY DO IS WRESTLE AND FIGHT. I look at other kids sometimes and find myself feeling jealous that they will actually just sit quietly and play with toys or quietly do pretend play together because that VERY rarely happens in my house. They wrestle and chase each other around the house all day everyday and they love it but it’s so overwhelming and exhausting to deal with. So I feel you momma!
My mom and dad had to put a limit to mine and my younger brother’s rough play because we would get injured all the time and that was why my parents got us both into soccer but I eventually started doing MMA and it helped me a lot with getting my energy out because of my ADHD. Karate or something will definitely help and it’s not necessarily a boy thing, my brother and I are two and a half years apart so we were close. It’s definitely something that siblings who are close do with each other.
Seeing kaden and lilia making the brownies on here VS when you posted it on IG stories makes me realize just how behind we are 😳
Hi! My family had two extremely rough playing boys and me growing up. My brothers were definitely extremely rough playing towards each other and towards me. Rule was no rough playing indoors and not to point of hurting each other or face consequences of breaking family's rules. I had to become tomboy who stood up for myself when came to my rough playing brothers. They had stopped messing with me once I had learned Korean Karate and used it against my oldest brother by using my own brother's movements against himself without any force or harm. Our Dad had supported me over my brother who wouldn't stopped physically bullying me even after I had given him two warnings to stop before I had reacted in self defense. Our Dad was laughing so hard and said my brother was very lucky that I didn't used my powerful roundhouse kick on him that could had done serious injury. Our Dad was one who encouraged me to learned Korean Karate for my own self defense protection. Luckily , I had to only defend myself three times since learning Korean Karate. I hope everyone have great night and stay safe. 🙂
As a mom of 3 boys (11,10 &10) the fighting is CONSTANT!!! I do allow it to an extent but when it gets to rough or to loud etc I say that’s enough… if they continue then I do punish rather it be no more electronics for the day, early bed time, make them ride there bike, run laps etc etc boys will be boys but they also need to know when enough is enough
I love when Jess was stretching and Cris in the back eating lol 😂.
Funny Story. About 6 years ago I was taking my Now BF (Then BFF) To get a Vasectomy. (He was in his 30's and never wanted kids.) I was about 6 or 7 months pregnant and it was my 6th pregnancy, 7th baby (Had twins in the middle there) and that pregnancy I was a gestational surrogate mama so literally the baby wasn't mine or his. Intake RPN asks him something like "Are you sure you don't want to wait until that baby is born first?" And he replies "OH! That's not my baby!" And the RPN was shocked and seemed lost for words and started sputtering, "OH ok well you two don't want to maybe have one together?" And he was like "She's not my wife." And I swear the woman's head nearly exploded! And BF simply said "It's fine, Everything is fine. I don't want kids. "
Flash to us sitting in the waiting room waiting for him to get called in for surgery and he said something stupid and I replied with "Shut up or I'll tell your wife!" To which the receptionist seemed to give us the side eye for. Then he says " Oh yeah well don't make me tell your husband!" To which the receptionist looked up and gave us the dirtiest look for! We were laughing so hard and then he goes "Yeah well we don't want THIS to happen again!" Gesturing at my belly and I reply with "What do you mean THIS!?! It's not yours! " Which the receptionist heads snaps up SO FAST And then she goes back to typing and trying to pretend to not pay attention and THEN he makes it worse and says "YEAH!!?!?! Well it's not yours either!" The receptions head snapped up SO FAST I thought she got whiplash! And she literally got up and stormed out of the room! I was laughing so hard I thought I was going to pee myself!
Mom of 2 sets here 7 and 4...it's definitely an adventure. Never a dull moment
This is the earliest I’ve ever been to a vid. Love you Jessica!!!
love you guys💗💗
Hi Jess and Chris. Make sure you are cleaning your dryer filter everytime you use your dryer. Make sure you vent hose in the back of your dryer and going all the way to the outside is not clogged. You don't want to have a fire. I love watching you guys and your family. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I totally agree I have two girls and one boy. He was VERY difficult to raise. My girls easy peasy! They are 23 and my boy/girl twins are 18. I no would take girls over boys any day!
I LOVED this vlog. Jess, I just felt like I got to hang out and catch up with my BESTIE for an hour. You are such a great Mama. Mimi and Papi are the best Grandparents. Chris is such an amazing dad. You guys are doing fine with your boys. Enjoy those giggles and silly bathtimes. My boys are older teens. Those silly bath times turn into hour long showers. The play wrestling will turn into backyard pick up football on the holidays. The soccer/dance/drum lessons will turn into dropping them off at their first jobs at the ice cream shop. Those bike rides will turn into JesssFam Drivers Ed evenings. And..... you will LOVE and CHERISH every stinking minute.
Oh my gosh I teared up reading this!!!! 🥺 Thank you so much for sharing. Time goes by so fast.... you are so right, cherish every stinking minute!!!
Heyyyyy I try and love. Every video you make even the old ones I keep re-watching them you are one of the CZcamsrs that I still watch every day like a fade out with other once you or one that stayed in my liking in my time of life where I change what I like I think you for being there to bring me happiness laughter and good show/CZcams channel I love your channel and I pray that you keep on doing it thank you so much Jessica love your family
I have twin 9yr old boys too! I am in the same boat girl! I feel like I am constantly breaking up fights. Wrestling in my house never ends well. If you find something that works please share it with the class! Love your videos.
YAY!!! Seeing you upload makes my day 😊
Seriously, I Don’t know how you do it. I have two boys six and 7 and they are 20 months apart. What you are describing in this video is how they act. I never thought that I would be a boy mom, But it is what it is. I commend you… You are an amazing mother. Much love from Oklahoma.
when I was 5, my older sister was aggressively chasing me, i was screaming for my father to help., he ignored me until i ran in desperation into the street trying to get away and almost got hit by a car....so yes, play can be too rough
Mom of 3 boys and 1 girl. And so far I've learned my boys are rough and tough and want to wrestle till about age 11 or 12 and then they naturally grow out of it, so just hang in there momma. And yes boys are SO MUCH HARDER than girls!!!
I have 3 boys 12, 13, and 2 years old! The two oldest are always fighting with each other to the point where one gets hurt and mad and it becomes a real fight that I have to try to break up! Praying for you it gets harder the older they get in my experience!
My Mum's 71 & I'm 41. My Mum's currently teaching me how to sew simple things. I've always been able to mend holes in clothes, but not sew stuff. At the moment we're working on draw string bags. We're from the UK, but my sister, brother-in-law & nieces live in Texas. So we sewed them each a Christmas gift bag for them to use when they're spending Christmas in Texas, to save buying gift bags every time. My next project is a draw string bag for my Christmas tree ornaments, then Birthday gift bags for my nieces in Texas. I just thought with my Mum getting older now, although I wish my Mum could be around forever, I don't want the sewing skills to go once my Mum is no longer around. I'll never be a knitter, but I want to be able to sew things for my nieces & nephew.
Love the videos jess
I feel you 100%. My daughter is 6 & she was and is so easy going. My son on the other hand has been wild from day 1 and he's only 2! Beating up everyone & everything lmao I'm scared to see what he's like at 10. Pray for me🤣
My mom has me and then my two brothers. She always said "boys are easier to raise, but harder to keep alive"😂
Sewing by hand or by machine is such an under rated skill to have and to teach children. My son was forever asking me to sew buttons back on or to sew up holes in his clothes that were his favorite things and he didn't want to throw away lol. So when he was 10 I taught him how to sew his buttons back on and then I think he was 11 when he asked me to teach him how to sew up holes and sew on patches as well. He is 16 now and I haven't had to sew anything up for him since he was 11, its so good for them to have that satisfaction of completing a task on their own and knowing they fixed their stuff themselves. Also 100% agree so far my son was the harder to raise, my daughter so far has been a breeze. Probably will change once she hits puberty, or not seeing as I know what she will go through and it'll be easier to sympathize with her.
I love your videos! I get so excited when I see your notification pop up
I would sit down with both boys and discuss your concerns with them. There is a real possibility that they will get badly injured. I'm a mom of one daughter. I think girls are easier to raise. If they understand how worried you really are, they might set boundaries. Good luck
I have a 6 year old girl and 5 year old boy and they're actually the same. They wrestle/fight all the time and one of them always ends up getting hurt, I don't intervene every time but I can usually tell how it's going to end! I find that as long as they respect each others boundaries (eg listening when one says 'stop' or says they have had enough) then I'll let it go. It's hard though! I think the older they get the easier that will be as well.
Also I agree with Chris I find that girls are easier to raise HOWEVER my boy gives the best cuddles and he is the most empathetic little man. 🥰
January does suck. I too really hate the short days. One thing I did to try and improve my attitude about it was to celebrate (in my mind anyway) the Winter Solstice, because after that date I know that every day the days are getting longer. I tend to look more positively at the rest of winter because it’s, well, ending! (native Californian, what can I say? I like long days and hot weather😁)
As far as having boys, they are much harder when they’re young I think. But I had someone with older kids once tell me that one day I’d look back and wish nothing more to have all the wrestling, noise, and broken lamps, because childhood is so fleeting. Every time they go crazy around the house, or on each other, I think of that and it almost brings me to tears, and I can’t even think about my irritation (the exhaustion never stops though!)
You've done well raising them to make sure the rough play between the siblings and not having it spread outward. Although you may be ok with it, some families may have different limits which can cause problems down the line. It does teach empathy between them but it's also a point of teaching them where the societal limits are because you teach them what the outside world will expect and how to deal with those expectations good or bad. I saw it first hand as the youngest have my older brothers put my middle brothers head through a wall and they continued play fighting 30 seconds later laughing their butts off. All you can you is do your best and use your discretion to teach the kids that line/limit before someone is hurt .
I also love tie dye! Also, I’m sorry that your family is being infected with covid. Sending get well wishes for everyone who is sick♥️
We’re already at that age where we grow fondness for plants ! Basically plant mommy-ing 🤣
Love this question. I feel this so hard! My boys are 7 and 8 and it drives me nuts. And I feel bad yelling but idk what else to do 😩 I will say, they are in Jiu Jitsu classes which has helped them learn how to be rough safely 😂
My 2022 words are Reframe and Release. I'm working on reworking my mindset to look more at the positives and less of the negatives. And just overall working on myself, for myself
Get so excited when you upload a video!
Jess about the plant….”this one is calling me” 😂 I would totally do that…act as though I’m adopting a pet! 😂
Love u Jess fam love this video thanks for sharing with us love u & Amber together stay safe have a terrific day 😙 love your fam so much
Girl, I’m from cold ass Montana and I made the mistake a few years ago thinking a light jacket+hoodie would be enough for a Disneyland trip in January. I was dead wrong! I was chilled to the bone the entire time. I will never make fun of Californians thinking 40 is cold again. It IS cold! 😂🥶
As a twin I totally relate. Me and my twin sister loved to wrestle ALOT! Yes we don’t end up trying to hurt each other but it does happen. I actually got hurt wrestling with her and my older brother. We were wrestling on the bed and I got kicked off and got a cut above my eyelid from hitting the end corner of my bed. It was pretty deep and had to get it glued shut. We still loved to wrestling until we eventually aged out of that the phase(from age 4-11). Hang in there Jess!
Love you guys
My boys are exactly the same. 6 years between them and that’s how they like to ‘play’ with each other. I think more than them physically playing it’s the constant noise that comes out of them 😂
Brothers always fight, play rough with each other, etc. My brother and I have traded our fair share of blows over the years but none of said blows weren't mutual, or changed our relationship. The only thing you should worry about is if only one of your boys is doing the roughing up, if they're both doing it, let 'em work it out themselves. It's natural imo.
I think I need a dramamine every time Addie vlogs for you. I've learned to just close my eyes.
I'm here earlier then I ever been lol 😂 it's been a day here for me just had a big meeting been stressing so need to relax and watch jessfam and frescofam love you guys
My oldest son was a breeze, my daughter was a breeze, but my 2 youngest sons are so rambunctious. They're 20 months a part and 6 ft tall teenagers. They mess around and wrestle and fight until one of them gets hurt. It drives me nuts!!!!! They're definitely a lot calmer on days they exercise and play outside. Thankfully one of them just got a part time job. So 3 evenings a week the house is quiet and calm. I hope one day they out grown the need to be physical with each other. They're great boys and I love them so much.... just wish the wrestling matches would stop. Hang in there!!!!!
Jess, I have a couple of suggestions for the boys wrestling. The first is to setup specific guidelines in regards to them wrestling (when and where it is acceptable, for how long, etc., as well as coming up with a safe word and having the twins practice stopping their wrestling as soon as one of them (or even Chris or you) says the safe word because things are getting out of control, too intense, or someone is injured. The second suggestion I have is to sign them up for their choice of a martial arts class (whether it is jujitsu, karate, etc.) so that they can learn how properly spar and get their energy out without hurting others. You are doing a wonderful job raising your kids and keep up the amazing work that you have been doing! 💗
My sister and I were like that. We were constantly putting our hands on each other. We couldn’t be in the same room without one of us starting something. My mama finally got tired of us fighting (in a playful way), she limited it to outside play only. In the house we couldn’t roughhouse anymore because we knocked the TV off the stand and busted the screen.
I love your videos and you inspire me sm. Day 2 is my worst as well 😩.
I’m one of 6 & “kick fights” were definitely a thing growing up. Literally just laying at opposite ends of the bed & just kicking each other. Couldn’t tell you why. Also there was only 1 boy & 5 girls so 🤷🏻♀️
I am one of 8 and i had a love hate relationship with kick fights seeing as there was only 1 girl & 7 boys. I loved it when I won , hated when I got hurt other than that I loved it. We could be sitting in the lounge room watching a movie then out of know where we started kick fighting and we always laughed but pretty sure my parents hated it
My 2 boys ages 8 and 5 they always tumble around with each other lol. They just love tackling each other all the time. I am right there with ya Jess! I told my husband I need to put a wrestling ring in our basement foe them soon 🤣
We love you jesssfam
