      She is the best. She's sassy but so stinkin sweet and she Definitely knows how to get her way with her brothers, being the only girl. And it's clear that the boys have great parenting, they've been taught to be gentler with her..but that her opinions and feelings are equally as important as everyone else's in the family.
      She's sweet, but cunning and knows she will always be protected by her brothers. The older boys don't seem to be as rough and tumble with her as they are with eachother. But, she is still included when she wants to play or do an activity. Great parenting, and a joy to watch.

    • @C_Tizzle
      @C_Tizzle Před 2 lety +8

      They are structured, but adventurous and affectionate. There is time taken out for the inevitable mini meltdowns that all kids have, but they're followed with a discussion. They make a point to have inclusive group and team-building activities, but each child is nurtured as an individual and expected to express an understanding of eachother's individuality.
      Watching this family's journey, along with honesty of the parents about how they're having to wing it and take it all as it comes, while figuring it out as they go along...is simply, endearing and uplifting. What a fortunate, healthy, happy, thriving, imperfect, loving household.
      I appreciate this channel so much!!

At the moment his excitement is so great that he wants to just run, kick and scream with delight! 😍 In a year, he'll be able to rein that all in and stand and listen to the coach before doing what he's supposed to.

    This video should be mandatory for black people to understand the importance of black fathers and black families. Pick wisely and procreate with good black men that will love and instruct their children. I had a strong devoted black father that took his role seriously. I was an only black girl with 5 brothers and now I am a black woman married to a black strong educated man who is also a wonderful father and husband. My father married my mother and bought a home before ever having children and my husband and I did the same thing. We raise our children in an upper class black community because we decided to give them the very best life we could in this world and to feel valued and appreciated. Fathers matter. Black communities matter. Black kids learning to love and cooperate with each other is so important.
    I love this family because I see elements of my life playing out in front of my eyes. Black families matter!

      @@Morenita570 Wow. What an awfully judgmental thing to write. I don’t care where he came from, I care about what he is doing NOW as a husband and father and he is doing a great job. He is working and being there for his children. It is obvious that either people in her family and extended friends really don’t like them, which is hard to understand because they are thriving and happy. Is he perfect? No, but no one else regardless of some piece of paper some are using for validation. A degree has nothing to do with character and integrity.
      My grandfather had both his parents murdered when he was 3 years old. He was adopted (by distant family relatives, which was common in the black community in the South) and only completed the 3rd grade. He got his GED in his thirties. My grandfather has worked since he was 8 years old. His first job was selling apples and oranges. He joined the Navy and was a decorated soldier serving during World War II. He then worked at a Steel Mill until he retired at 65 years old and then drove a school bus until he was 75 years old. My grandfather owned and paid off in full two homes. He sent all his children to college including my father, who also served in the military and has a Master’s degree. I also went to college and have a double Masters degree. My grandparents were married for over 62 years. Out of all my grandparents and my maternal grandparents have a similar story, I have always said my paternal grandfather was the wisest and had the most sense of everyone in my family. He wasn’t greedy, didn’t believe in living on credit, he worked, he saved and he lived, but most of all he was a husband and a father till his last breath.
      Here’s what we are NOT GOING TO DO is qualify someone’s abilities based on college education and supposed literacy. The job my grandfather did with just military training and a 3rd grade education now requires a Master’s degree and an apprenticeship WITH CERTIFICATION. There are plenty of blue color no college educated men that make more money than those in education. I’m sure there are areas where the father outperforms the wife. He shows up, he takes his fatherhood seriously, not only do they live a good life, but they seem happy. Who are you to determine what marrying “down” actually means?? There are plenty of college educated “good on paper” seems like they make so much money that are drowning in debt that are awful husbands and fathers. Listen, I worked with a woman who married “her fairytale”, a medical doctor who supposedly gave her the dream life. Big house, Big bank account, two beautiful kids until he left her for another woman, drained the bank accounts and left the country and abandoned their children. She had to move her parents and work two jobs. That is the reality of life.
      Your response was awful, unnecessary and hateful and proves to me that humanity needs an intervention of kindness and compassion.

And while at the time it was a bit boring to me as a kid, I see now how important that time was together as a family learning about God. And now that I'm older, I have come to really enjoy my time with Jesus and I think those short family devos play a big part in that. Anyways, I love your videos a ton!!

    Something I’m going to do different for my family when I have one someday, is to make sure I tell my children I love them each and every day. Not only with my words, but by showing them love and affection. ♥️

    I used to bring home Junie B. Jones Books from school and my mom would read them to me and my younger siblings after school. We also used to all gather together(Our parents and the 10 kids) and each say a prayer before bed.❤️ I definitely want to do those things with my children.

    Pure enjoyment! I’m vicariously living my childhood through your family! My dad was either on music gigs or his day gig. Mom was a busy working woman. I grew up in my own little world. I have a brother and sister but we pretty much tolerated each other. Keep sharing and God bless your beautiful family!

    So many things my parents did with my 5 brothers and I...its so funny how my father was the disciplinarian and we feared him greatly but when I look back I see how he tried to make sure we had fun and enjoyed life too. Like teaching us how to play spades, monopoly, buying us toys, watching Sunday night television all together, making sure we hit every hood carnival that came to our city and being the nurse whenever any of us got sick or injured. I'm tearing up like crazy right now because I realize now how much I misunderstood him. He passed away at 44 when I was 24 and I just wish I had the understanding then to tell him how appreciated he was. He had his faults but I am so sorry he didn't live long enough for me to mature and see him as the man that did his best for his family. #myAbu ❤

    Expressing board games where we have to interact with each other has to be one of the best memories I had as a kid when it came to quality time with the family. My mom made sure we had a game night at least two to three times a month and I plan to carry it onto my family of my own

    This was so fun to watch, what a beautiful sight. In my home, my husband and I make sure most Friday nights is family game night and every Sunday evening is family movie night. It is the two constants that we can bond over and enjoy all together. We did not do things like this when I was growing up and I really enjoy creating these memories with my family and I hope that someday they will continue it or do something similar with their families. Sending your family so much love ♥️.

    Quality time in my family was storytime.
    My parents would tell us stories of their childhood for hours. Our eyes and hearts travelling with them down memory lane.
    Dad would always say at the end of those stories; "May this not be a last story".
    I didn't know what it meant when I was younger.
    And then, we would always pray afterwards.
    We also bonded over preparing large meals and every one had to help.
    Thinking about it now brings smiles to my eyes.

    Unfortunately, I grew up in a dysfunctional household with an abusive father. So, anytime my mom went somewhere, I'd beg her to take me, just to get away from him. We would just ride around for hours - windows down, music playing and taking in the Cali sights. It was such a safe, joyful feeling!

    One thing that really stands out in my mind when I was young is that my dad would schedule “DADDY DAYS” with each of us. There were three kids in my family and he wouldn’t try to schedule one Saturday morning a month with each of us to do something that interested us. Looking back on that now and knowing how busy my dad was in that season, I realize what a sacrifice of his time that was with us. But those are some of my favorite memories with my dad because I had him all to myself doing something fun. It was such precious time with him.

  • @PeytonsProductions
    @PeytonsProductions Před 2 lety +2

    This video was what I needed today!!! You remind me of my dad. Not too rough, but not too easy on ya either.
    Me and my family always walked the university campus my parents went to for 4 years. Just walking, taking, kicking a ball around, playing tennis, playing duck duck goose. Exploring and going places by foot was one of the best quality times I ever had with my parents and sisters.
    After those 4 years, I was 9 and we moved to the coast and walking on the beach for miles was another thing we loved. We flew kites, played volleyball, just enjoyed each other’s company.
    It might seem simple but it meant the world to me. The countless memories I have of doing both never fail to make me smile.

    My father was abusive, as the time went on he got better, one of the things that my dad would ask me is how my day at school went or what’s was the tea between my classmates while we cooked dinner. That was kinda the ritual. He didn’t tell me often that he was proud of me a lot until the night before he passed. he expressed how proud of me he was as far a the person I was becoming. I’ll look forward to offering unconditional love and gratitude to my kiddos.

He was such a great artist and artist professor, a perfectionist, but he always encouraged me to draw and paint even when his artistic skills didn't run through my veins. Miss him so much!❤😥

    I moved to America when I was 8. My sister was 4. My parents were just about 30 years old and although we had a little bit of family here, they didn’t speak the language and had to start absolutely fresh. I remember laying in my bed with my mom in the middle and my sister on either side. We’d lay there together on my Barbie blanket in 1999 and listen to a CD collection that was classical music with sea-sounds overlapping. We would lay flat on the bed, kick our feet up in the air, and dance with our feet to the music of Tchaikovsky as though we were ballet dancers :’)
    When we’d be coming home from anywhere as a family, my dad would go around the block an extra time so we could listen to the song we liked so much for the 12th time.
    My mom would take us to the bookstore, open a book about Paris, and we’d pretend we were traveling there.
    It was a good good time :)

    I grew up with 4 brothers and to give my mom a break, my dad would have a " Boys Day" every so often. During those times we learned what it was to be a man and to bond with him. He would use those times to check in with us and answer any question we had. Which looking back, paved the road to our communication now. I can talk with my pops about anything and it all started because of " Boys Day". Keep up the great work Beleaf.
