Anaya is an old soul. "Hello parents were still in here". She knew that conversation was not for them. Like: are you really going to talk about our brother in front of us!? 😅🤣😂
riiight!! she gives main character enerrrgyyy 🤣
"Dad you did the wrong choice with that children." and "hello dad we're still in here!" my favorite phrases of this video 🤣🤣🤣
Congrats 🎉
She brought the conviction to the car 😂
That was hilarious!! I was dying!
Uriah is such a free spirit. He said he wants to do nothing. Then describes things that he likes. Uriah is gonna turn his hobbies into careers, he just doesn’t know what that is yet and that’s ok❤
Um alot of leaps here that just dont work. Sometimes just saying words doesnt work
Uriah gonna to do incredible things when he get older just watch and see.
❤
I've been thinking this for a while. Uriah is trying to establish his position in the family. Before Anya was born he was the baby of the family, Theo is the eldest, Anya is the only girl, and Uzi is the baby. Uriah?
“Free spirits” are code in certain circles for lazy and entitled, and too often end up being the type leaching off of their family and friends. There’s nothing wrong with giving a “free spirit” direction, boundaries, and encouraging motivation.
As for the forced participation in tennis, I agree that’s not a good idea. With so many different personalities among the kiddos, I’d try rotating family activities, focusing on a favorite activity of each child. That way, everyone gets to enjoy their personal fav thing to do, while understanding how important it is to share (time) and compromise in life.
You can tell anaya is going to be very nurturing. From her trying to help uzi to her worried about Uriah “I love you boy boy” 😂😊❤
i have a conspiracy that anaya is actually the eldest and no one can convince me otherwise 😂
It’s Uzi screaming no thank you for me and Anaya not stopping.😭😭
Only girls tend to be the nurturer. I was the only and youngest girl after my first 3 sisters were grown and gone, so I looked after and worried about my brothers.
This was mad vulnerable. I appreciate y'all even sharing this moment. I know most of us would never want our parenting L's recorded, let alone posted online. Thanks for keeping it real, real. The world needs to see it! And I really appreciate it. ❤️~Diane
I Second this comment. Thank you family!!!
Theo has crushed Uriah’s confidence, Uriah doesn’t want to try anything new because Theo has effectively disrespected and humiliated him at every turn and Uriah doesn’t want to try and fail in fear of humiliation by Theo
Uriah will only grow if he is alone
THEY FAILED URIAH
@dannygranger9271 That's extreme. In parenting mistakes are made.
Reminds me of the Theo episode and Monopoly money.
Your trying to teach hard work.
Applause
It looks to me like you can only see who you want him to be, and not who he is, thats a typical parenting mistake. The way i see it, he was repeating what you guys said, trying to connect with the family, besides, all those questions where kinda unfair, they were grown up questions directed to a child, hes telling you that he does not like to exercise, i think the right move here would be trying to understant where he is coming from, and not giving a speech about why the way he feels is wrong.
My dad use to do that to me a lot, i never fellt confortable going to him and sharing anything real about myself, and now i feel like i am very insecure and anxious. Im not trying to be mean or anything, really, just try to see him for who he is, if you dont, hes gonna grow up trying to please you guys instead of finding himself.
Im sorry if im overstepping
This is it exactly.
Letting him out of the car like that is traumatizing. Especially indicating that he is smelly so “hurry up”. Parents need to be careful not to let the other children chime in when disciplining another one of their children. Uriah is young… he is still maturing it’s okay for him to be wrong but teach him with gentleness without the comedy and humor for others.
Phenomenal observation.
I've been treated this way in front of my brothers. Simply by saying different things than my mother would like to hear. Today I can't remember our moments together without thinking how toxic those moments were for me. your comment was great
I think Uriah is so much like Glen and that’s where they bump heads. They are both free spirited
Beleaf yelling for Uzi to get off the court while he hugs mom instead is just prime dad energy👌😂
Sounds like Uriah wants to be like his dad. I think he sees that as work because his dad and mom works hard. He just doesn’t know what goes behind all the work.
First, I love the entire family! Secondly, I’m the middle child, so I have such a soft spot for Riah! I think Riah wants to be like his Dad! Everything he listed is what you do. I just don’t think he fully understands the word lazy. He will get it. Try not to be frustrated he’s a kid that needs guidance but a kid nonetheless.
Also, I am Anaya when it comes to my siblings. The only difference is I would have been crying and telling my Dad he was wrong once he got out of the vehicle.
just an opinion….but i think riah was trying to be a tail w pops and this is why he was listing dads resume.
Exactly. Love Riah and his sweet spirit
I was thinking the same. I had a similar thought when Glen talked about all the things he enjoyed and quit. A lot of parallels with Uriah
I agree also. I think Uriah is so much like his father that it irritates his dad. I was the same way with my middle grandson who is the absolute sweetest most loving child in the world and would give you absolutely anything he has if he felt you needed it or wanted it. Yet he also has a stubbornness that has a root as deep as his entire spirit. You can not discipline him like his other two brothers. They are 13, 14 and 15 now and he is the 14 year old. When they were small you could get discipline the oldest and youngest by putting them in time out, popping their hand when small or taking something away from their and they would change their behavior. Yet they were both acting out quite a bit. The middle child seldom acted out or did something that required being disciplined because he is a people pleaser. If you did discipline him and he didn't believe he had done anything wrong their was absolutely nothing you could do to him to change his behavior. I learned very quickly I had to sit and talk to him and find out why he did what he did before punishing him because most of the time all it took was just explaining to him why his behavior was wrong, learning that he simply just didn't understand. He and I are thick as thieves today and I am so proud of the young man each of them are becoming.
Uriah listed all the things you guys do to generate income and he considered that as lazy work, maybe you should have him really experience a day in your life. At the end of the day ask him if he thinks you all were being lazy..
Yea I was thinking the same thing. Uriah may not fully know that even your own business or dream job takes work. Right now, he thinks what his parents are doing is easy & laid-back. Like ALO said, let him get first hand experience. Eventually it'll click & he'll understand.
Yep. Perfect idea. Have him make phone calls, edits, record, film, order materials, create schedules... all within reason, but the real work schedule you have set for yourself, instead of school one week that shadowing and participating is his school.
I also think it’s possible that he will put effort “work” into something he enjoys and it won’t feel like a job but it may also produce a grind of sorts.
I love how concerned Theo, Anaya, and Uzi were when Uriah walked to the house, they are all some really good and caring kids 🥰❤
omg Anaya had me dying!! 😂🤣
1)"daddy you did a wrong choice to that children" 😂
2) "Hello parents, we're still in here!"
Congrats
I was Uriah as a kid, and this version of glen was my dad all the time. Call it stubborn, or defiant, once Uriah gets older and can better articulate, the world better watch out. I love how he questions everything, and follows the beat of his own drum, one thing is for sure, you don’t have to worry about this kid being a follower. His antics might be annoying for a parents right now, but I think Uriah’s going to be very successful, he’ll harness his defiance and it could be the thing that makes him go out and create changes in the world. He’s already critically thinking, about what he sees and hears, perhaps not in a “thoughtful” sense yet, but I think when he starts to, he’s going to question problematic things in the world, and find ways to make change.
Yes. I see this too 🙌🏽
well said and understood...I agree
I was this kind of child as well. Fortunately, my mom was very supportive of the differences in her children and she encouraged me to pursue all my interests.
Uriah gives such strong middle-child vibes 😂
-a fellow middle child
Uzi is special he said dad what did riah do? did he? *whatever that was* 😂😂 he always provides the comedic relief in tense moments never fails ❤️
Had his own opinion son.
“He talks so much”
The dad literally talked the whole car ride home 😂😂😂
When Uzi asked what riah did and did that little move that was both precious and hilarious 😂
Anaya shaking her head when Daddy made Uria walk home: "Dad you did the wrong choice to that children" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I love these kids!🥰🥰🥰
Anaya saying I love you boy boy pulled on my heart strings and made me chuckle, she really felt it for her brother.
Anaya is so concerned about Riah. Meanwhile Theo is so amused. I love their opposite reactions. Thanks for keeping it 💯 and sharing this
It's good that you acknowledged that this wasn't your best parenting moment. Uriah is still young for sure but coming from a middle child, reactions like this can cause there to be a roadblock in the relationship between a child and a father. It was a good time to demonstrate patience, but then again, we are only human after all. Once again, Uriah is still very young, and you may think he is a lot right now but he has a personality of gold. It may be weird to say, but I see a lot of my younger self in him, so I feel like I can relate with him.
“Hello parents! We’re still in here!” 🤣 but seriously this was a great episode.
My mom used to make me do certain activities and I hated it only cuz I didn't have any say in what I was doing. A better option would be for her to present me with like 5 options and then from those I could chose which was the one I wanted. Or to have me research what I wanted and make my lil 9 year old case. Being forced to do things doesn't work for all kids
This thank you comment is Spam be careful don't click on it
Uzi and Anaya are like the deacons of the Henry Church of God in Christ…they clock every move 🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣😅😅
can u explain this joke to me i’m an atheist
Anaya is the sister everybody wants. She’s so loving and caring to everyone, and she just puts herself out there even being rejected.
She’s a role model to us all, and thank you for raising such a beautiful soul, the Henry’s!
Congrats
I eventually quit everything that felt like pressured performance as a kid. Lost interest quickly. Kinda like how Willow when her dad was doing that “Whip my hair” tour & she shaved her head? Kids have a way of letting you know: they are not here to make you proud or in her case: to make you money. They are here to be utterly themselves. Foster that? Which you usually seem to do? Can’t go wrong.
I’m here for the understanding, love, and respect for Willow’s backstory 💖
@@anastasiabennett4854 I feel deeply sorry for Hollywood kids. Tough life. All the privilege in the world cannot equal a paparazzi-free childhood.
Wait, what? Will had a tour and took his daughter as an act? I always thought it was Jada who was pushing that whip my hair nonsense on her. Interesting.
On a sidenote, any of you seen that “Cancel Court” episode on Jada and her tabletalk? Lol
Agreed!
@@dustinmackbee5213 I did! Honestly I personally still have love for Jada and her flaws, but CPs prosecution was airtight 😂
Theo “ mom said let me do me boooo” took me out😂😂😂😂
I think this is your sign to let Uriah in on your video creation process. The boy got the spirit, let’s see if he’ll still have it afterwards 😂
She said, "Hello parents we're still in here"! So funny and I totally understand. Uriah will get it, I promise. Your good parents and he will eventually see your teaching and follow. 😃
Siblings can yell and fight with each other but they are unnerved when they witness their parents having an argument, even a mild one. The parents’ tone of voice changes and the kids stiffen. Oh, no! Are they going to get a divorce?
I always feel so bad for Uriah, he's so misunderstood, almost like he's an outsider in the family. He just wants to be like his dad. Maybe he'll never pick up a sport, but from what I remember he has some pretty awesome technological ideas, maybe he'd enjoy a STEM club, an instrument, or something. I just hope his parents do more to highlight his strengths than his weaknesses, and not pressure him to fit in the box.
I’ve always had a soft spot for Uriah, he reminds me of those of us who are unique to the point of walking to the beat of our own drum. Other people might not understand it, but those who do treasure it dearly. There’s a place for us out there, although society makes it seem like there isn’t. Most often, when we feel comfortable operating in our uniqueness we can help society move forward in new ways-or, help inspire a new way of being to other people.
I think they don’t treat Uriah the same as the other children. I think they don’t have the same patience or grace for him. The other kids see it too.
@@berrystraws because he has the worst hygiene and that grates on your nerves. When you CONSTANTLY have to remind a child to wash their hands and wipe their ass your you half way aggravated just looking at that child.
@@berrystraws yep. And I believe it's because he's his fathers twin. And his father has unresolved grievances with himself. His discipline, his fitness, his career choices. All the things he projects on Uriah.
@@alesiasinspiration Absolutely, insightful. I hope they are reading these comments. I love this family. I love their transparency. Unfortunately, the unresolved trauma continues to pass down.
It feels like the glimmer Uriah used to have in the earlier videos is dimming. I've thought this for a long time and contemplated whether I should comment because I don't want my observation to be misconstrued to something I do not mean (aka you're being a horrible parent). I'm also just a stranger who only sees what is shown so if I'm talking nonsense then I'd be relieved.
I feel sad watching how Uriah is spoken to and spoken about in general. I feel like Glen is particularly sensitive to the choices Uriah makes and has less patience with him and I put that to him seeing a lot of himself in Uriah, I notice he mentions that sometimes. I also feel like Uriah is the child whose weaknesses and shortcomings are highlighted the most and strengths and virtues are not given a balanced representation.
Lastly, and I will admit this is 1000% projection on my part. I was called lazy and dubbed a lazy child growing up and it has severely impacted my self-esteem and confidence. Seeing Uriah being called lazy breaks my heart. I'm actually crying typing this and I know this is something I'm particularly sensitive about so it could be me simply being triggered. I share this in case this is relevant and the parents notice it is and were previously unaware. I don't want this perception I have (and am working to dismantle) to be one Uriah has as an adult. It has made being self-sufficient hard for me because I see myself how I was seen: I want to do nothing and I'm lazy, I did this all to myself, I deserve to struggle. Going to therapy I realised when I was young my efforts were acknowledged/celebrated very little and I had my reasons for being unmotivated but because they weren't noticed by my parents, I didn't learn to notice/voice them either.
BINGO! I'm glad others see it. This was one of the reasons I stopped watching after the puzzle incident.
Yep! I felt compelled to comment on the puzzle run away video. This and another later video which features a very selective recap of the runaway video, which also told us that he was lazy yet again just prove this child will always be the family scapegoat.
I’ve watched this a couple of times. Please also consider that not all kids enjoy PE, or strenuous activities but they grow up to be great problem solvers. Luckily, he’s open about what he thinks so you can direct him. Hopefully, he won’t ever decide to stop sharing. You can get ahead of things, as his prefrontal cortex is developing.
Some people get active later in life too. I think at home excersice is enough for maintenance and exploring new stuff each week instead of tennis for a few months could be helpful too. Maybe he like swall climbing, or skating, or skateboarding, or gymnastics, or wrestling, martial arts, dancing, something else active, but maybe just different then what he's done as of yet.
I feel for Riah tbh. 🥺 I also was the kid who challenged everything. Sometimes authority didn’t know what to do with me and I absorbed their anxiety from that.
I am Uriah and Uriah is me.... I could definitely feel how differently my parents reacted to me than my siblings when they were frustrated. I always felt like the black sheep in the family, and would tell myself, I can't wait to leave this house. He needs love and reassurance. Needs more daddy and me time. Maybe doing new activities like fishing with dad monthly that does not involve other siblings. He needs a moment to speak openly without the gaze of his siblings( which may make him act out more for attention/ a reaction). A time to truly be heard and have a heart to heart.... I really ❤️ this family. You are doing a great job as parents. Just a perspective from a former "difficult, distracted, and seemingly lazy kid".
I love how Uzi is growing into his own personality and utilizing all his new language skills. Now we have some idea of what he was thinking when he was a baby.
One question I never had an answer to when I was growing up was “what do you want to be when you grow up?” It always made me uncomfortable and I’m very careful about asking my son that question as well bc truth is I didn’t know myself . I only knew who /what ppl told me I was or the limitations they gave me and that followed me all the way up until college . I picked something that would make my family happy and make me look like I was worth it (whatever that “it” was) and that was the reason I dropped out, I was not fulfilled . If I could go back in time and knew myself like I know myself now I would’ve went to school for horticulture therapy or something dealing with agriculture, not business administration.. I give my son the freedom to explore his own like and dislikes and I’m also very careful not to judge him bc I know that he is an individual. These moments are raw but just giving you something to think about.
Yep! It took me to 24 to discover whT I wanted to do. A lot of wasted college money and an unfinished degree testaments to making my family and society happy and me learning to pivot that and explore my own taste and interests before honing in on what I liked. Mind you've I've had jobs since 14, so a part of good trial and error is starting early, but not boxing or projecting too much of your wishes onto your kids.
He needs growing space to discover he can do things himself🌎
I can understand that parenting Uriah can be harder than with the other kids, and I have in no way a complete vision on your household and all of your interactions. I just want to say, that from my pov it seems that Uriah is getting treated harder than the other kids, (every kid needs tailored parenting but I mean that it’s not in proportion with his actions). I feel like the others get away quicker with the same actions than Uriah does.
Secondly and most importantly I don’t believe it’s healthy to speak in the way you and Yvette did about Uriah (when he was out of the car) and especially not in front of the kids. They could use that in fights with him (‘Mom and dad think you’re annoying and don’t like you’), kids are mean behind closed doors and those comments can deeply hurt you and your self esteem.
Like you said you don’t have a complete vision of the household so you can keep your assumptions. Uriah doesn’t get any harsher treatment than the other kids. He just talks back more and overall the most contrarian. That’s obviously gana lead to more correction and Glen has been taken notice of that, like years ago.. they’re his kids.
@@ColeSpeaks103 You're assuming he doesn't get treated harsher with the same lack of information as the original commenter. They can offer their input same as other comments have, you're in no position to rebut them in blind defense of Glen. He admitted himself he could have done better in this moment.
The second part... yeah. Even Theo and Anaya seemed a bit uncomfortable about it. But an important thing to remember is that this has already happened and is largely in hindsight, and it's already been acknowledged that it wasn't the best way to respond.
@@philosop.HER_ I made an observation based on the videos they’ve made for years. And based on their videos they don’t treat any of their kids harsher than the others. Like i said, Uriah is more defiant and talks back more so he receives more correction. That’s accurate based on what we see, not an out there reach into what we don’t see like the original commenter. and the fact that Glen acknowledges he could’ve handled the situation better just makes those parts of the comment redundant. There’s nothing wrong with his honesty
I think it's valuable to pay attention to the end of the video, particularly regarding your second point. He KNOWS this wasn't a good choice on reflection. That's what matters. Parents make mistakes, they aren't perfect people. What is important is having the humility to know when you fucked up, and the courage to own up to it. That's what teaches kids to be good people.
Gentle parenting is hard, I applaud y'all
It’s so much to learn from this episode. As a mom I’m always trying to prepare my daughter for the real world but sometimes it’s good to let them be kids. When you have creative kids, strict schedules can put them in a box. Listen to what he is saying, you are showing them how to be creative and make money. Your kids will work for you so they won’t have to beg for a job.
I’ll be a father in February & my biggest fear is my patience, or lack there of, in explaining things like this. I really appreciate you all for allowing me to see this and take mental notes. EQUIPPING THIS FUTURE FATHER! ❤️
It’s a skill that you continuously work on but never perfect. Don’t be passive! Live and learn from your natural responses. Yah Bless!
Congratulations!! It’s going to be hard but don’t give up and know everything you’re doing is probably out of love. Also asking for help always comes in handy.
Congratulations! You'll get there.
I think Uriah is going to be your toughest challenge. He sort of has that middle child thing, like I did. In a lot of videos I can see when the baby is getting attention he'll run over or call out to bring the attention back to him. He's in a tough spot, I commend you for having the patience with him that you have. Sometimes I think he gives up because he knows he'll get more attention that way.
He reminds me of my friends son. She's like a sister to me, so I consider her kids my nieces and nephews. He has 7 siblings and he is number 6. He wants his older siblings to play with him and they act like they can't be bothered. He acts out to get all of their attention.
@@JemJam2976 Generally speaking- not insinuating you meant this in your comment- I wish as a collective, we wouldn’t see a call for attention as a ploy for attention. Rather, there are moments where a kid feels lonely and they don’t know how to deal with it. As adults, when we’re lonely, what do we do? Call people, call on people, drive somewhere to get out, pick up a hobby, etc. A kid doesn’t have access to that. So they call on people out of that feeling of not being included. So, a kid doesn’t feel included when the focus is on the baby. The question becomes… how can the child be assured they’re always included and loved when the focus is not on them?
Sometimes we gotta keep working down the stem… into the root…
@@blueskies773 I know my nephew though. I observe how he acts when his mom and dad are busy with his little brother. I observe how his older siblings just push him to the side and act like he is bothering them. I see the bad behavior he displays just to get attention at home. The boy is great at school, not a problem child whatsoever. It's just at home, he will do what he can to get someone to play with him.
P.S. this was between the ages of 4 and 8. He is only slightly better now at not trying to get so much negative attention. I try to spend time with him when I go over there. He and my baby are each other's first best friend ( her words, not mine). He's a good kid, with a kind heart. I just hate that he gets ignored and pushed aside and called annoying just for being 9 by his siblings.
"Stay out of grown folks business" and "Speak when youre spoken to", are familiar sayings I'm used to hearing when I was a child.
Anaya's such a pretty girl with a lovely speaking g voice.
Soooo we all out here having similar struggles in these parenting streets! I don't feel so crazy after watching this
Right!?! This was like a mirror
Hey Glenn. You and Yvette are very lucky to have the brood that you do. Your child are very astute, inquisitive and verbal. they are way beyond their years from other children their age. Apparently both you and Yvette are doing a great job of bringing up well adjusted kids. Relax and pat yourselves on the back.
I understand that feeling so well. It hurts so much to try your hardest to do the best thing for the better of someone else you care about, but still feeling like you caused the problem or that you’re not doing enough. You have to remind yourself though that being one thing doesn’t mean you can’t be another. You’re a father, and a content creator, a husband, a son, a man. It’s the same thing in your character. When the parts come together, they make a whole, but just one part can never be a whole alone.
Can’t say why this was tough to watch … but it needed to be watched
It seems Uriah is a creative and he’s actually pretty smart. My brother was just like that and Not much into sports .kids like that love things that challenge the mind like stem activities or robotics. Also coding for kids such as building video games. Although he still should be in tennis as a fam activity it’s about the bonding
Uzi is so good at enunciation.
I'm the oldest child and I was EXACTLY like this. I was always arguing with my dad, because I didn't want to do what he wanted me to, or rather in the WAY he wanted me to. I feel it's more about being a rebel, than lazy. There is something about doing what everyone else is doing that just feels icky. Just because you're already seeing it done by someone else, it becomes boring and seems easy (throwback to Riah and crunches 😂). That's why I think he climbed the seats, and raced the car home. I suspect he really enjoyed that. He was arguing without words, and showing off to you. I'm not a parent, but maybe you can find the balance upping up the challenges just right, like teaching him all the techniques that he can use in tennis, so he can get creative within it, instead of just "running and hitting the ball". Also, introducing him to a wider diversity of hobbies might help. I don't think he's lazy, he might just be so creative that he gets bored very easily, and he's gotten used to being disappointed in activities, so he's decided to get bored before trying, and even if he does, he hits a snag in seeing the challenges that he can take on. Maybe you can also try taunting him, like "I bet you can't do this and that" to use his pride in both of your favours, and maybe one day he'll get used to challenging himself in that way.
Anaya makes me so excited to have a daughter😭. I love how she relates to her brothers x
Many people struggle with connecting vs controlling. Are you trying to connect or control?
I love y’all as a family. However, as a middle child myself with great parents, it kinda hurts hearing the parents perspective. What triggered me to write this was when you said something to the effect of “he talks so much that it makes you feel…” I think back to my childhood and how I felt that my father would have those same sentiments yet never really went out of his way to understand me. Instead, he would just discipline me or shut me up because he’s the parent. I’m not a parent, so I cannot judge either of you. But, as a middle child that’s now a adult, I think the best thing y’all could do is get to know him and dive deeper. Don’t get irritated with him because he’s not acting how you think he should act or responding how you think he should respond. Your child is a genius, and I think y’all owe it to him to give him opportunities evolve into his full potential. Because I’m not gonna lie, towards the end of the video, it sounded as if y’all are irritated with Uriah in a way where you don’t accept who your child is. Saying, “imagine having to listen to this in school.” Uriah is different. He’s amazing. Don’t make it seems like this child is anything but that.
I agree I felt hurt watching this whole thing. I hope if glen sees my comment he’ll think to apologize to Uriah bc damn :/
Its the part where Naya fact checks Uzi😂😂😂😂
I just love how real y’all are.
I love Theo's calmness and attention to everything. He has such a winning attitude!
I don't think there are any parents who have never responded to their child's behavior in a way that they aren't proud of. I'm sure no parent wants to hear from their children that they don't want anything out of life. I'm sure, as a man, that makes Glen feel some kind of way. Glen has come a long way since he began this channel. I felt he was hard on Theo, he would send him upstairs when he got upset and cried, and Glen was quick to react. Glen has grown so much. He is more patient, understanding, and slow to react. He is an excellent father and Yvette is an excellent mother, they are my favorite social media family. They love all of those chocolate babies equally, but they are all unique, with different personalities. One child may need attention personal to his attitude and needs, that doesn't mean that their parents love them any less than the others. Theo, Uriah, Aniah, and Uzi are all unique, and I feel that they are all treated according to their needs. If they are treated differently, it's because they are.
Riah will stand up if it’s for something he wants to do. If it’s something it’s not interested in then it’s too hard! I’m the same way ❤
Honestly there is no perfect parent. We fall short because of our flesh so we need the grace of God to grow in our areas of weakness
i actually feel bad for uriah, he is often made to feel like a pariah, seems like the poor boy just can't get it right in his father's eyes. It's no wonder he is so similar to his uncle, the brother his dad always fought with.
Yes, my sentiments exactly. I just said this. Why is he so critical of Uriah, he is leading his son down the trap of resentment. His mother doesn’t say anything and why didn’t she get out when he put Uriah out. Come on mom stand up for your baby, even baby girl had enough compassion when she said, “What!!”
@@nellygirl it's unfortunate but when you have the position of "leader" in your household, you often get away with behavior like this because the other family members might be too intimidated to say something. it's just sad, none of us are perfect including parents, but this kind of teaching can have detrimental effects on a child, riah might never feel comfortable opening up to his father again, in fear of being judged and ostracized
Wow… I just love the authenticity of your videos. I love that even though you make your mistakes you acknowledge them maybe not in that moment but you still come to your senses. It’s all learning experiences for both. I’m so proud of this beautiful family and wish you guys nothing but LOVE and the best in life😭💕💕💕
Exactly! Only thing I would add is to heavily consider apologizing to your kids... off camera... for whatever you felt like you missed the mark on. Kids need to hear their parents apologize when they make mistakes. The issue w/ blk parents is that we portray this lie of perfection, like we never make mistakes which in the long run can cause psychological and/or emotional harm. End the cycle ✊🏾
I remember this power struggle when I was growing up. It's not fun for the parents or the kids.
Theo’s “I really enjoyed that” tickled my soul. 🤣🤣😭 20:40
10:58 I felt thatttt! My middle child is 18 I’m still hoping she figure it out.. she is ambitious but NOT willing to budge if she ain’t feeling something. I admire and am frustrated with that lol
Man, this is dope content.... I don't know what u do for a living but it seems like Uriah wants to be you in his future which is super dope. 2nd thing is we as dads have a different threshold and it's up to us to actually show kids a boundary and hold them accountable to some of the experiences they may face in life. The kick out was just a small taste of that and you shouldn't feel bad, you didn't scream or yell at him and he'll learn to read the room at some point and learn to be quiet when necessary. Thank you for this content
Congrats
I don't think he should have been kicked out for this... but letting him walk home a few blocks for something more deserving seems like a fair consequence.
Dude, you had me right from the start...and now I see...when your wife wins a simple game that you seem to be very proud of...you redirected your frustrations about the day and the game towards (specifically) Uriah...and am so sure Uriah had nothing to do with your frustrations...the black sheep of the family always takes the hit when a punching bag is needed....I know coz i've lived it.
Am black btw before anyone calls me racist for my ending quote.
Because I said so worked for my parents. There’s always going to be 1 child that challenges you more than another. Rise to the challenge by challenging him to start doing some of those things he thinks are so easy to do and don’t help him. He will learn real soon.
Chess..chess is a sport you can play without using your legs.
This episode was so vulnerable, thanks for sharing.
the way that i’m obsessed with these children 🥲🥲🥲
Fam’ when ya kids (or anyone) say “y’all fight a lot” please believe them. What they’re saying is “y’all make me/us/folk uncomfortable (a lot)”.
It's Yvettes face the whole conversation in the car ride home. lol
Anaya is just so sweet 🤍
Can't wait to see this!
Glad y’all sharing
My dad forced me to play volleyball. I hated it at first but I grew to love it so much. Just like y’all said they don’t know what they don’t know. Just keep molding them and supporting them and they’ll figure out their sports and hobbies. I think it’s good that you’re making them play tennis as a family sport. They’ll appreciate it later.
A 22 minute video FINALLY!!!! I love actual vlogs instead of 2 minute clips 🫶🏾 keep them coming
I feel this though. I look back on some of my interactions with my oldest, who is 7 right now and I'm just trying to get better at it every day
Love the rawness ❤
Family fun time. Just beautiful. Love the videos. Keep them coming. God bless yall.
Uzi is growing fast. Love your fam ❤️
I get so much from you guys. ❤️
Love you’re family I’m learning a lot from you all!
This is definitely a relatable moment in parenting. I'm really glad to be able to watch along the journey. it's much appreciated
Thank you for sharing this!
Your videos help me so much as a parent period.
I feel like in that moment he wanted to be able to just speak his feelings and desires and it turned into a lesson that made him shut down. I’ve been there 😢
Love yr truth and transparency. We all been there bro 😏
This was beautiful.
Yup because I know it's going to be Awesome❤
I really appreciate the reflective tone of your videos. Us parents to be are learning from you. Keep up the superb content. God bless you and thanks for being transparent🙏🏾 Another creative, from the UK.
I just love your family!! Yvette looks amazing!! Keep up the good work and keep it all coming!!👏🏾👍🏾❤️
I thoroughly enjoyed watching every moment in your group outing. Every part of it, and every processes of thought. You and your wife bring joy to many by bringing a well rounded positive environment for the children in an everyday kind of day.
I too have given up things in my childhood, I remember two specific times at your kids’ age where I gave up from a great opportunity, and my parents let me give up. Don’t give up on your children tryin to give up. Cuz one day they will thank you for this.
Damn this the type of parent I am. Thanks for your content it helps me look at what I'm doing as well and grow as a parent. The humor and the capability and need to want to be a better parent and change for them
I love your family and you guys are great parents. I love watching your channel. I get excited when you post! ❤
Me and all my siblings played different sports since we were like four. We played as many as we wanted and when we found the one my parents could just tell… and they kept pushing us when that sport got hard because they could see how happy it made us(: get them playing as many sports as possible
I appreciate you being strong and honest enough to be transparent in this moment. I was that child, and I am also working to overcome my parenting issues to be a better father. It ain't easy brother, but keep putting out this dope black dad content. I'm here for this all day!!! Much Love to you and yours, God bless
Hey guys, we now understand that Adulting is hard. Well, Parenting is even harder. God bless ❤️ 🙏🏾 🥰
It is so clear how much he wants to be like his dad ❤ beautiful
