Parenting is a privilege, not a right... If you're gonna have kids, be a parent, if you still want to be an individual, dont... I was born in 59, our son was born in 96. My wife had 2 miscarriages prior & 1 after, but no others took. He currently has twin daughters born 2 years ago, by emergency C section at 26 weeks!! They are great parents ! & we are willing to help whenever & wherever its possible. And when they're older, we will help them understand our rules, & show them all the love they deserve, or want !
My 18 year old daughter is away staying with Grandma tonight. Don't think there is any reason beyond they enjoy spending time together and long may it continue.
LOL! The babysitting styles from generation to generation is hilarious. In my day, if Grandma couldn't watch us, we were left to our own devices and given strict instructions what not to touch and who to call if you needed something. And if you weren't in bed by the time they got home...man on man there was trouble. I taught myself to drive at 10 yrs old. Every time the parents left I'd grab the keys to my Mom's car and go for a spin.
Don't forget....kid's nowadays are waiting so much later in life to have children. We got married younger and children sooner. I'm now 61 and my first grandson is 2-1/2.
My wife and I moved to Wichita to be closer to our grandchildren (ages 3 to 22). We love helping our adult children and grandkids. The idea of "spend their inheritance" is foreign to us. I'm 72 and my wife is 70.
Ahhh - This conversation that ignores "Gen-X"... Our classic forgotten generation. The Inbetweeners. The grunge, prog-metal and indie kids. We had it all - and then watched the generations either side of us to get into arguments about it! Yeh - good times ;) \m/
People that don't have $1k car payments and a mortgage/rent within 20% of their income and started investing in their 20s that through company match and personal investments amounting to 25% of their gross income.
Not many in the USA. I retired at 52 but dont have kids and live cheap. 58 now and can work if needed. If your able to move to asia or latin america you can live for a third of USA.
When or if my kids have children, I will watch them now and then. Maybe even for extended periods, but not daily and not constantly. My grandparents watched us kids....occasionally. I fail to see why this is a problem.
You need to understand that parents dedicated 20-30 years of their lives raising you, and perhaps they want a break....that does not mean they do not love their grandkids greatly, they are simply done being major caregivers....they want their freedom returned and the ability to enjoy life before they become elderly.
I have to say, just watching April laugh at old people doing silly things cracks me up! That girl is one in a million. And Tyler, you upgraded for sure! She’s a keeper =)
April is cool and they are a great couple with awesome chemistry but it's not about April as an upgrade, just more of different times, people and time changes and things are not what they used to be or what they want anymore. Wife number 1 was pretty cool too and they have two great kids together, they are a big part of his life and you can't forget about that, it's just life and unfortunately things don't always work out and people move on.
I think the continual downward trend in views speaks volumes about how many subscribers this channel has. For whatever reason, the content is not connecting with many people.
You're right. Let's go individually person by person through all of society treating them all like individuals. That would be an efficient use of time for making arguments right?
A lot of the boomers are divorced and in second third marriages with second families. Many Gen X millenial kids lost out on grandparents because they never entered grandparent mode. Boomers were too busy raising their new millennial kids and caring for their new spouses after the first families broke up. Many Boomers also ended up in toxic second marriages making it difficult for gen x to feel comfortable leaving their children with them.
you sound like my parents who heavily leaned on their parents to help look after us so they could go on date nights, yet once they became grandparents themselves its all about their lifestyle now. Family unit? pffff....dont come knocking on my door when you need aged care, you're going in a home just like you did to your parents (who helped with your kids) so my conscience is crystal clear
I am GenX and your description of active Boomers sounds more like GenX. My parents are Boomers and watch TV all day and could have great grandkids dropped off at any time and it would be fine. My wife and I still work but were home on the weekend only 3 times from May to Oct this year.
After listening to this, I am so happy I was smart enough to never have children or I would have been in this predicament. Millenials and Gen Z are such a bunch of snowflakes.
that makes no sense, you're smart enough to not have kids but the ones that DO have them are snowflakes? so you're saying you would've become a snowflake if you had kids? wtf are you on about?
My mother was born in 46..lol Honestly she is a wonderful grandmother though. Maybe some people have crappy grandparents. Its probably hereditary too. I feel like lumping people into generational groups is just a huge step backwards. If someone sucks just call them out as a individual. People make thier own choices how to behave.
To all those people saying, “who retires at 50-55”… the answers is union school teachers 20 years ago. My wife’s parents, both boomers, retired at 55 with pensions after being high school teachers. They are in their mid-70’s now and have been retired since before I met them.
I think this show needs to have a daily car section. Maybe filling in everyone on the latest car news. At least until more start gravitating to the show.
Most of the baby boomers finally just got their adult children out of their homes and on their own, finally. So they are pretty much done with children. The kids are finally gone and they are not ready to start the cycle all over again. Don’t mind them visiting for a few hours but done with the baby sitting!
Hahahaha I’m a grandpa but only slightly older then Tyler and my millennial kids live in our house with their twins so I totally understand millennials 😂🤣😂
Tyler, I've been watching you on the u tuby channel, and some times u do not have a filter, but that being said, I get a good chuckle, So Thank You for that.
STOP! STOP! STOP! Being so cute together.😂 Tyler your Zombie Sister, Babysitter had probably watched the movie Poltergeist!😂😂 And you could have lived in Wichita, Kansas, and had BTK as your babysitter!😂 Tyler buy her some new My Little Ponies for Christmas and get her brother some new bullets.😂 Love you April ❤ What a Great Show 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
My baby boomer parents watch our daughter and their other 3 grandkids all the time. I have wonderful parents though. They aren’t selfish at all, probably to much the other way actually. They are doing ok and could travel all the time if they wanted but not their style. Spending time with family is their style
Damn i knew i forgot something, let the cat out take care of the garbage, mow the lawn….is that it…i keep thinking there was one other thing….oh CRAP…..I FORGOT TO HAVE CHILDREN….NOW I DON’T HAVE ANY GRAND KIDS…..DANG DANG DANG….HOW DID I FORGET THAT…..
Dang dude that’s a nice ring glad you found a great one! Enjoy and I wish you many years of happiness. I just passed three years married and seven together with my wife!
I think the main takeaway here is not the new parents being lazy, we gotta work like crazy to afford anything, 2 jobs 8 hour and 4 hours just to afford groceries
As opposed to money growing on trees for the older generations? Your grandparents didn’t walk around with $1000 phones in their pockets, or buy overpriced coffee at coffee shops like Starbucks. It’s about choices and priorities
@JohnyLatelyCome never had Starbucks, grew up in the country, grew our own food and hunted/killed it.. always working, check yourself, not all 35-year-olds are lazy.. stop stereotypeing people
Millennials stupidly introducing "No Spanking" and "Every kid gets a trophy" have caused the 87 flavors of gender and the "Ize deserves to be special" that's destroying the whole planet!!
I stayed with my grandparents closest to us in miles. My other grandparents were far away but summer school holidays, stayed there for a week or so. We had the eldest daughters of friends look after us, and ended up with getting crushes at 10 y.o and the girls were 14 or 15 lol
I think the woman writing the article is commenting on her own family and is attempting to extrapolate to blame the entire older generation. As a boomer, I never had either set of grandparents as baby sitters. Lots of people are independent and don't expect their parents to coddle them their entire lives. Other families are closer knit and more helpful.
My in-laws are awesome grandparents. They take a lot of trips... but they take us with them on a lot of them. We couldn't vacation as much as we have without them.
That's very nice. Grandparents do not need to babysit or help in anyway. But boy it is touching and warms the heart when they show they care and actually have interest in the wellbeing and happiness of their grandchild development.
The break-up of the nuclear family has caused a lot of this. When your parents are split, they are more likely to be more involved with new friends, new spouses, and enjoying things they couldn't do when younger. This leaves less time to spend babysitting. There are also those who simply are out enjoying life. I ,at 64, am still working and live 1200 miles from my kids. An old friend and his wife take 5-6 cruises a year. Others I know retired and moved away from their kids for economic reasons. Families just don't live near each other as much anymore. This is modern society.
Nah, your wrong. Read to the end. Actually since the beginning of time, and still today in traditional societies, grand parents raise kids not parents. Historically humans started having kids at age 15. 15yr olds are not good parents. Plus they were the hunter-gatherers, laborers, farmers, soldiers, etc. So the older people who survived but could no longer hunt, work, fight stayed back to raise the kids while the "adults" in their prime went off for days, even months, at the time to do the hard work. There's more to it of course, it's called social anthropology and you can read up on if you want to understand human behavior better. That's why there is an old adage: "It takes a village, to raise a child" and it's one of the reasons why so many kids today suffer psychologically. No child should be raised by only 2 people. The "nuclear family" is an absurdity of the cold war, that has no basis in human history or reality.
I'm retired and sitting at home watching Hoovie videos ??? ( and waiting for him to announce the Hoovie Farm Van-In for us conversion van nuts .... hint, hint ). :)
They're known as the "generation of sociopaths" for a reason.
I suppose zoomers must be the generation of autists then
Gen X sitting here be like ☕️
Preach 😎
I'm 52. You get sick and tired of people. One day you wake up and say "nope not anymore" and the filter is removed like a grumpy old man.
I’m 18 and like that
Consider that this generation of kids are a pain to deal with?
Two incomes...needed because of MASSIVE and EXCESSIVE taxation. Thanks GOVERNMENT.
Boomers who voted for excessive govt programs 😩
Gen x was independent because our parents were not there, why do millennials think that they will be there for them?
Millennial here, myself and other kids in my neighborhood were latchkey kids. My parents as grandparents are similar…still not present.
my dad born in 48 will do ANYTHING for his grandkids and often does they call and he jumps to action !
his parents and my mothers were also very into my life
Gen X...Hold my beer.
Parenting is a privilege, not a right... If you're gonna have kids, be a parent, if you still want to be an individual, dont... I was born in 59, our son was born in 96.

My 18 year old daughter is away staying with Grandma tonight. Don't think there is any reason beyond they enjoy spending time together and long may it continue.
I would love to see an interview with Tyler's parents on the show.
At 55, I enjoy hanging out with my grandkids.
My wife was born in 1962 I was born in 1966. We have our 2 Grandsons living with us. I personally didn't have any Grandparents. My wife did.
LOL! The babysitting styles from generation to generation is hilarious. In my day, if Grandma couldn't watch us, we were left to our own devices and given strict instructions what not to touch and who to call if you needed something.

Her hand over his mouth at the end. #classic 😂
My mother is a boomer and she is an amazing grandmother and was around for the grandkids anytime.
Gee, I didn't know my wife and I were candidates for sainthood. We watch our great-niece and nephew twice a week.
My wife and I moved to Wichita to be closer to our grandchildren (ages 3 to 22). We love helping our adult children and grandkids. The idea of "spend their inheritance" is foreign to us. I'm 72 and my wife is 70.
Thank you for being kind.
retired at 55 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ahhh - This conversation that ignores "Gen-X"... Our classic forgotten generation. The Inbetweeners. The grunge, prog-metal and indie kids. We had it all - and then watched the generations either side of us to get into arguments about it! Yeh - good times ;) \m/
🤷🏽♂And you have to have a license to drive a car, but lets have a child to save the failing marriage
April, who can afford to retire at 50-55? 🤔
People that don't have $1k car payments and a mortgage/rent within 20% of their income and started investing in their 20s that through company match and personal investments amounting to 25% of their gross income.
Not many in the USA. I retired at 52 but dont have kids and live cheap. 58 now and can work if needed. If your able to move to asia or latin america you can live for a third of USA.
We need to normalize the huge yard, 4 generation family home, but redesign it so each has privacy in non communal areas.
Me and my wife are in our late 40s and we absolutely love having our 2 year old grandson when ever we can!!!
I would love to know who retires at 50 or 55... I'm 43 and I know it won't be me.
Don't park in people's driveways, lesson learned.
When or if my kids have children, I will watch them now and then. Maybe even for extended periods, but not daily and not constantly. My grandparents watched us kids....occasionally. I fail to see why this is a problem.
Life just sucks. Its too hard now.
FUTURE IN LAWS! Congrats!
April is good for Tyler! Hand over mouth at end. 😂
April saying retire at 50-55 made me feel so broke.
I think it's GenX that is being talked about.
That's ok. We want to be forgotten really. 😁
You need to understand that parents dedicated 20-30 years of their lives raising you, and perhaps they want a break....that does not mean they do not love their grandkids greatly, they are simply done being major caregivers....they want their freedom returned and the ability to enjoy life before they become elderly.
millennials are experts at dodging commitment and responsibility.

I believe you can raise your kids and spoil your grand kids or you can spoil your kids and raise your grandkids!
How do they not have 100K subscribers? Great show and conversations
I think the continual downward trend in views speaks volumes about how many subscribers this channel has. For whatever reason, the content is not connecting with many people.
I hate it when people generalize people by age and assume they're all the same. Stereotyping is lazy and inaccurate.

Who is retiring at 50 or 55? Someone has no idea how the real world works…..
Lots of people and I will
Winer Millennials
Take it from a Baby boomer who raised two millennials who needed everything done for them we're not about to raise their kids for them too.
you sound like my parents who heavily leaned on their parents to help look after us so they could go on date nights, yet once they became grandparents themselves its all about their lifestyle now. Family unit? pffff....dont come knocking on my door when you need aged care, you're going in a home just like you did to your parents (who helped with your kids) so my conscience is crystal clear

Lifespans have not grown. If anything they have dropped and gotten lower.
Imagine having to actually raise your child 😂😂
Cant stop laughing!!! What enjoyable morning !!! ❤❤❤ 🎉🎉🎉
April's brother sounds like a lot of fun.

They say a lot, don’t they?

Great video! April your laugh is amazing! I did miss Hoovie's blooper reel!!!
My wife and I are raising our grandkids. We are x'ers. Have had them for 4 years.
Great topic !! You guys rock....you both are ment for each other...keep it going... we'll keep watching
Retire at 50 / 55. I wish. It's 75 these days.
Retirement is dying at work these days.
I think this show needs to have a daily car section. Maybe filling in everyone on the latest car news. At least until more start gravitating to the show.
It's called INFLATION ! -- little downtime. 3 incomes just to survive
You two need to do a stand up comedy tour . Great shit love it .
You are the only morning show I watch!! Love you both!!
Nice variety of subjects, good content. Keep it up you adorable lil muppets

Retire at 50/55 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
grandparents of boomers retired in their 50s where now boomers retirement is in the late 60s or they are still working
*"Future In laws* ...... so, has the date been announced yet ??
I love your show, you two make a great team.... and a great couple!
I'm 38 years old and I already lost my filter
Hahahaha I’m a grandpa but only slightly older then Tyler and my millennial kids live in our house with their twins so I totally understand millennials 😂🤣😂
That was a big ring on her left hand...
The mini bike clip and the man with the dog on his foot were hilarious!
Tyler, I've been watching you on the u tuby channel, and some times u do not have a filter, but that being said, I get a good chuckle, So Thank You for that.
STOP!
STOP!
STOP!
Being so cute together.😂
Tyler your Zombie Sister, Babysitter had probably watched the movie Poltergeist!😂😂
And you could have lived in Wichita, Kansas, and had BTK as your babysitter!😂
Tyler buy her some new My Little Ponies for Christmas and get her brother some new bullets.😂
Love you April ❤
What a Great Show 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Entitlement.
That is the problem.
How come I get the feeling that April can't take Tyler anywhere 😂❤
Great video!
April, are you aware of you hand gesticulation? You might slice the table one day :)
My grandma had the same BMW!!!! Get out of here. They still have it
Unfortunately I totally relate to this from both mine and my in laws. 💔
I would like to believe, that you had Fun like I did ,making Babies, now have Fun raising them!
Genx where ment to be seen and not Heard !!! We raised ourselves
Did a pretty good job of it tbf.

You're gonna marry this one too? Don't you ever learn from your mistakes?
he already said that? Didn’t they just meet 6 months ago?
Dang dude that’s a nice ring glad you found a great one! Enjoy and I wish you many years of happiness. I just passed three years married and seven together with my wife!
I realize there are only five of us, but have you ever heard of Gen-X? It's amazing how overlooked we are.
Y'all wreaked havoc with my Amazon Echo.
😂
How fun it is to read most of the COMMENTS from this videos, you two touch a hot subject. PRICELESS
I think the main takeaway here is not the new parents being lazy, we gotta work like crazy to afford anything, 2 jobs 8 hour and 4 hours just to afford groceries
You probably voted for Uncle Joe also ...... :(

Everyone gets a trophy was late boomers doing this to their kids in the 80's and 90's. The others are accurately millennial.
Let’s talk about WORK ETHIC!
If Tyler pisses off all of April’s girl friends, then she doesn’t have too worry about them hitting on him……. 😊

According to the picture Hoovie's dad is JEFF FOXWORTHY! 😅 That does explain some things...
The break-up of the nuclear family has caused a lot of this. When your parents are split, they are more likely to be more involved with new friends, new spouses, and enjoying things they couldn't do when younger. This leaves less time to spend babysitting.
There are also those who simply are out enjoying life. I ,at 64, am still working and live 1200 miles from my kids. An old friend and his wife take 5-6 cruises a year.
