Yvette, you look glowy happy and pretty. I love your hair as well! 🥰
The concept of the quiet years is definitely a matter of experience and expectancy. As a woman who has never married and never had kids in my 30’s…. The experience of quiet years sounds like simply peace. Chronic anticipation is exhausting.
Chronic anticipation is a wonderful way to describe marriage and motherhood.
“You need to grow faster.” ☠️ that took me out 😂😂😂
Lilly is so cute, she love you glen. It’s like she was saying I love you and appreciate you lol
We are empty nesters and I just became a Grandmother this year and I have to admit that I do enjoy your podcast and I mainly tune in for Chocolate Baby Story Time. I miss my kids being that young and they were hilarious so it is nice to tune in and laugh with you all about your amazing & funny children.
There’s a difference between gentle parenting and letting your babies walk over you… you can gentle parent and have boundaries too remember!
I loved, loved, loved, loved this conversation!!!

Incrediblyyy helpful and practical
You both are amazing! There's so much rich learning and growth in these episodes. Thank you for your sacrifice everyday and commitment to show up! I rate both of you an A. BTW- story time is me right now Yvette! Love you all! God bless you richly always in Christ! 💝🙏🏽
Theo is displaying a "growing years" attitude. You both have started adjusting him, which is good.
I was folding clothes when Glen said “Listen, I don’t owe you anything! Stop it! No! Sit!” ….. I thought he was talking to Mrs Melanin. … My whole world stopped. I was so stressed out. I think I gave myself wrinkles and a few grey hairs😂. I know Glen would never but in that moment I thought he did and it was not good for my health.
I feel like my years are quiet in a different way. I never had a wedding or a bridal shower. I had regular interactions with men that didn’t lead to any of the aforementioned. I went through emotional storms and now I feel like I have peace but I wonder, will I have these. I wouldn’t be sad about not having something to look forward to. I learned contentment the hard way. I feel I missed those celebrations because I didn’t prioritize relationships or children and now I wonder, will the years stay quiet. Will my career be my life.
Theo is my oldest daughter who turned 9 in January. Pray for us🙄🤦🏾♂️
Good luck on the weight loss guys! I will challenge that an arbitrary fitness target can be good too, instead of a flat number. Muscle weighs more than fat, water weight, etc. can throw off your numbers, so something like "lifting 10 lbs more than I was capable of" or "running 1 minute longer than I can usually run" can have similar benefits without the stress of direct weight loss. Either way you'll succeed!! Have fun in Jamaica!! 🇯🇲
“I have a right to say no” that’s true but too many no’s get problematic over time.
I love it when she calls him Glenry 😂😂😂 Glen Henry
I absolutely enjoy these podcast episodes because I relate so much although I am in year 7 with 2 kids and they are in year 12 with 4 so I learn so much and I feel like oh waw we these stages in marriage is real. They help put language to a lot of things I don't have words for.
I'm definitely working and listening about these babies, while cracking the heck up because I know that it will be the same with my 3 and 4 year old!
Loved seeing your doggie! 😍😍
I love hearing about the children ❤️ 😍
I’ll be honest, I think saying “boys mature slower” becomes a self fulfilling prophesy. Even if there is scientific proof, I think we exaggerate it further but not holding accountable.
MEEEEEE TOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
@@EbonyAbraxas 💯😊
I teach 8 & 9 year old’s and get a lot of “idk’s” and shrugging. it’s rough 😭 but still such a great age bc they’re so understanding 🥲
I think they changed the ages for preteens. Yvette they know you soft. You can be soft and still firm.
I’m so grateful for this time
We are currently in the quiet years. I cuss a “little” as well 😂. -Evita
Love this topic!
So cool to see that you rock with S2S
You guys keep referring to some sort of talk? Can you share where to find that?
aww hi Lilie
Life In The Middle Years by Gary & Anne Marie is a great resource for the middle years (preteen). Sorry Glen, it's 8 yrs to 12 yrs old for preteens lol.
I don’t know any books but I’ve worked in middle schools for a while, preteens will definitely push all the boundaries. You have to look at them like… what did you say?!?!? 😂 it’s definitely annoying but hopefully with boundaries and love they grow out of it hahaha.
As a single parent I feel like these years are especially quiet for me. And these days I'm learning to be better about being a good steward over this precious time
❤❤❤
“Suppose to be working” my edges 😂
Who do you use for therapy bro cause I've seen the growth in how you speak and your content. Love it

I’m working out … laying on the floor watching🥹
Chocolate baby story time 😻
14:34 Glen smiling cause he wasn’t listening 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lilly said SEGMENT ME
Oohhhh @ that burn on young Theo gettin that salty from his Father. haha. Appx 10:00 or so.
Our kids pick up so much stuff from us, I be havin to check myself like dang, they talking like that cause you talk like that. Ha. Good thing we dont talk too too crazy. ha
That was a firm I DO NOT! Yvette
Hmmm sounds like Yvette could use a restock on some no’s. I think it’s a result of women being socialized to be accommodating from a young age and that being the expectation. From the outside looking in, Glen feels so comfortable saying no and Yvette could probably benefit from exercising that freedom more. As a big fan of both of you I would love to see more of that from her. I think it would make Glen’s no’s sting less too. If it’s not a hell yes it’s a no. Thank you for sharing.
What’s the name of the podcast you referred to in the beginning? It’s not in the show notes 😢
I got it. The Secret to Success ep. 340 I think
Chaaaaclate baby story timmmeeee
Aye be nice to lily that was funny yall should let her sit in more often
It almost feels like Glenn is making excuses for Theo. I see the preteen vibes
Countdown...
I wonder what’s their Zodiac Sign ?
Gender matters (book suggestion)
As you continue to bring the presence of God into your home, and center your families steps around Jesus -all these difficulties will go away. Pre-teen issues are simply outbursts of the flesh masked as "teenage issues". Don't let them slip. Fill them with the presence and ways of God while they're young!

I really don't understand the husband's point of view. I was more interested in hearing the wife develop her thoughts but oh well
