This brought tears to my eyes....I only wish my parents were half as supportive as Billie's. Billie is amazing and she owes a lot of that to her loving, supportive family....So nice to see...
@@nayu7314 but if you've actually watched the video, you'd understand that their parents were as supportive of billie and finneas when they werent famous
I'm 40 and I absolutely love Billie Eilish, seeing how she was raised by great parents shows exactly why she is where she is in life, and I love that she's humble, that proves a lot. I wish my mom was as supportive of me when I was young... I hope I can be this parent for my son
To add to this...Finneas had severe anxieties as a child, so he was home schooled. Billie also has anxieties, learning disabilities auditory processing disorder, as well as Tourrette's Syndrome. Homeschooled, too. This means that Maggie could not work full time. They bought a small house in northeast LA. Patrick fixed it up, and they flipped for the 2 bdrm bungalow that they live in. Then, the 2008 housing crash affected them, and they almost lost the house 🏠 Billie said that they had no spare money at all at that time. That's why she wore thrift store clothes. She said that going to Target was "fire" from her perspective. The Baird-O'Connells truly dedicated themselves to their children's best interests while working hard and living modestly.
@@Athenswinslava They probably do have similar issues but due to extreme cultural differences aren't encouraged to express them much less get diagnosed with anything
@@Athenswinslava as an asian, in most asian household no matter what country, the parents dont acknowledge mental health as real issue lol it sounds like a joke but its true 😭
@@Athenswinslava it really is just cultural differences even though your statement wasn't according to parents, parents have a huge role in how a child acts and behaves and as an asian, most asian households just don't accept mental struggles as a real thing it's almost shameful to struggle mentally and emotionally for me (and a lot of asian kids), growing up, it almost felt like we weren't allowed to be sad or upset about anything or else we'd get punished in some way and it's well known that asians put a lot of pressure on their kids' academics, so all you can really do as a child is be quiet and focus on school to not get in trouble i was always the straight A, star student, good kid in school until my junior year of high school when quarantine hit and i had to unravel/work through a bunch of unresolved mental issues that i'd been suppressing since i was a child
Contrast this to the Spears family and you understand how special this is. What a good family. My dad was the set builder for a few plays my sister did, she always had a main role if not the lead. My mom did a lot of the painting. Those sets were never safer or more beautiful then those productions, so much so that a prop house gladly took several pieces after each show run was over.
@@anitanoterajes felt this. ive been on the other side of this where the girl got the roles bc her parents invested money into the theatre.. it was a rude awakening that money can literally buy anything.
I not only think Maggie & Patrick are wonderful parents, I think it's awesome that their children are humble & know they wouldn't be where they are in life without their parents. I love how their whole family is close & work as a team.
Most people hear "actor" or "musician" and think that means money. Most career artists make, at best, a lower middle class or middle class living, without any form of benefits or retirement. They also pay high taxes due to being self employed, and need to pay in quarterly/estimated form. Great to put out things like this to spread awareness.
That is why I have no choice but to submit to corporate slavery because I am afraid of becoming a "starving artist". But being a successful artist someday is still on my mind I just needed the right opportunity or the perfect time that things would fall in to place 😊
I cried because this was such a beautiful set of parents that were so sacrificing. I also cried because I mourned and hurt that I didn't have that. You're all so blessed.
the part Billie wanting to put them in a movie, got me teary eyed. Dreams never die. We just make sacrifices as life goes on and piles up, and try our best to still achieve them. Billie deserves it all
Am I weird to have cried the whole way through this video? It touched my soul to see the love in this family! They are my favorite entertainers of all! I am very sick and bed ridden and I can just close my eyes and listen to the and forget my pains! Thank you!!!
Sending prayers for you i hope that you can get out of your ilness also if you look up Medical Medium give that a try there a lot of remedies in it not trying to be spam but its really helpful!
Great video. Very insightful. Billie's parents did an amazing job at nuturing and fostering their kids passions. Took it very seriously. Now they're reaping the benefits of doing that.
I didn’t know about Billy’s parents. But I love how close they all are, and their success is a testament to what can happen when parents are equally devoted to fostering their children’s talents and creativity. Great video!
Billy and her family is such a humble family...Regardless all the struggles / hardship, they always stick together. That is what family for. And Billy omgggg I was o lucky to see her and Finneas on live concert last month !
I think this is really what's protecting them from all the drugs and abuse and manipulation in the industry. They both were so young starting out, but they were protected, and still are. So much love for this whole family.
This is incredibly soothing to my soul. I was raised in an incestuous family where there was hardly any sacrifices from my parents for me. This is so sweet to hear about how these parents showed love to their kids in very concrete ways as well as emotional support. I am re-parenting myself now with this family as an example. Many blessings to everyone out there from abusive upbringings that we can all change our mindsets towards health and peace. 🙏💖
Word. I was raised by a narcissist and an emotionally stonewalled father who would rather throw money at everything than give a kind word or hug. I ended up a narcissist myself and I have been struggling with heroin addiction 5 years clean 2 years on 6 years clean 2 years on, got a year right now hope I stay off of it for the rest of my life.
Also on my re-parenting journey. It’s always nice to see comments like this and know you’re not alone. I hope you’re successful in all you do, and you achieve an abundance of joy and peace! Sending lots of love your way 🥰🥰🥰💖💖💖💖💖💖
You are valuable and loved maybe not so much by your parents but the Universe (God) created you and brought you here. You have a purpose and you can do whatever you set your mind too. Is it easy? No! Is it worth it yes!
I love their story. As a mom who has homeschoolered her children for 20 years so far…our kids are extremely well rounded and have wonderful passions. The sacrifice that parents make are selfless ❤
I have SO much respect for the whole family! Seriously inspiring, not as much from the industry success but from the perspective of creating an amazing family that are supportive of each other. I love to see amazing people have amazing things happen for them in life!
I have parents like that. It is the most amazing gift and you recognize what a special gift it is while you are growing so you can savor it and glow in their love and wonderful parenting. Then I lost Dad to cancer. It punched a big black hole in my soul that can never be repaired and I struggle to this day to function when I think of him. It doesn’t matter how old you are, if you lose a parent, a good one that did their job and made sure you knew you were loved above all else, it cripples you. And you don’t recover. It doesn’t get easier, you learn to breathe through the pain and keep it off your face. Some days, when it is most acute, I am certain, it would have been better to have never loved at all. And then the guilt rolls in cuz mom is still alive and still loves, but she’s broken too. None of us are the same. So everything is different and your pain is sharper when seeing her pain.
i think out of all the artists I know of, this has got to be the most wholesome yet beautiful thing I've seen. I never knew this about Billie and her families struggles.
I love this video - I've always wanted to get more insight into Maggie & Patrick's love, support and contribution to Billie and Finneas - the pictures from their past, which aren't in "The World's A Little Blurry" are so wonderful. Thank so much for doing this. Like someone commented before me, I sure hope this Omicron virus bottoms out in the next 4 weeks and the world will get to experience Billie's superstardom. I personally believe that Billie is truly a great star, whose STAR will continue to rise. But more than anything, I want Billie - and Finneas - to be well, safe and to have peacefulness and well-being in their very young lives. P.S. This is January 10 - congratulations on the Golden Globe!
This honestly makes me cry. Parents should be like this. My parents never supported my passion, instead they always looked at me like I'm a loser. I never gave up, but its hard to go on with no support.
It is a good house rule if your home schooled or during school holidays when you don't need to get up early, I find the best time to be creative and come up with ideas is at night.
Such a beautiful testimony on the sacrifices parents are willing to make for the successes and sake of their children. May God bless every one of you mothers and fathers out there who are present, supporting, and loving to your littles, for YOU are the examples.
So sweet to see a functional family. I come from a very dysfunctional family, and me as parent my self make my best to be not only food and shelter provider but also a spiritual parent guiding my son towards the best version of him self. But we the parents can do only so much, so I strongly believe that the greatest supports comes from above the clouds.
Its great they have gratitude. But also.. most parents dont love their children in a real way but only control them or demand what needs to be done or leaves them to live on their own struggle on their own and sneer at them when the child is upset at something and chastise them for not knowing what the real world is like. I think if we are truly kind and loving then gratitude is a byproduct. Expressing it and communicating it must be taught, as well. It is beautiful to see such a close family, and real true nurturing. I am so glad the girl i babysat showed me Billie Eilish. I wish i could have afforded the concert for us without it taking me too close to zero. Im just a loser but i know if my parents were for me and not against me, i would have made it to a different place than i am today. Still, even with that support, she expresses so much that i can relate to, with such cool calm collected sass. I feel the sadness, the loneliness of our Aquarian Moon hearts.. i wish Billie to be loved thoroughly, the way she desires to be loved, completely and wholly. No more sadness or less than. I appreciate the effort of the whole family to bring us this art.
Yes exactly!! There's very often a solid reason behind why someone might be ungrateful, even if they aren't yet fully concious of what that reason is themselves. Far too many parents weaponise their role as caregivers to demand gratitude and affection from their kids, sometimes after years of inflicted chilhood abuse. If you're truly a good parent and fulfilling your child's needs, they'll almost certainly be grateful to have you. Gratitude comes from feeling loved, supported, listened to, and just generally having your emotional needs met in some kind of way, and if you aren't willing to meet your child's emotional needs as a parent, don't expect your kids to be grateful for you.
They don’t even know how lucky they are and how rare it is that parents like that. I’m happy for them, but I am so sad for my inner child. How she was suffocated and abused and I’m still uncovering and recovering from it. What would I have been if I’d had love? Hugs? “I love you” the fact that her mom even acknowledges her mental health let alone protects it. My mom couldn’t care less how I feel. I remember begging her to hug me as a kid and she just scoffed and laughed and said “why? you don’t exactly make it easy to love you”
They are an amazingly talented and close family...given Finnesus and Billie huge support living in a small two bedroom apartment, giving love and support to their children....its beautiful to see the connection between them....pure love and support ❤❤
Wow, I cannot imagine artists parents supporting their kids to become artists as well. Usually I have seen the pendulum goes to the opposite side from one generation into another. I know a family which was like billie's, the musical parents taught music at home to their son and then he graduated as an Engineer and later did MBA to become a worker in corporate world. He does well financially. And here me being an Engineer and doing well, teaching my daugher music as a side thing and asking her to focus on being a professional Engineer or Doctor.
I love Billie n her beautiful family! I now love them even more. I had no idea her Mom n Dad were actors. I totally recognize her Mom from different roles. The fabulosity is through the roof!
I am part of generation Z like Billie Eilish, I was born the same year as her (2001). I had many talents with potential in sports (football/soccer, swimming, archery) and in the arts (drawing, musical instruments, public speaker). But my parents and the rest of my family never supported me, on the contrary they constantly put me down. All they wanted was for me to earn a lot of money to satisfy them but not me. I lost my confidence and my assurance and I know that my potential is wasted. Billie Eilish had a wonderful entourage, her parents are incredible people, they did everything for her to succeed and she succeeded. She was able to test dancing, horse riding, singing until she found the area where she is the best. Having talent is not enough to succeed, if you have a bad entourage you will not achieve anything. Many talented people have had their potential wasted because of bad surroundings. I am very happy that Billie Eilish was able to succeed because I see in her what I could have become with good surroundings. I wish her and her family the happiest life.
Agreed.. scary how parents have been focused the kids whole life on kids being stars.. do parents deserve payment for that?? Idk.. it somehow seems wrong..
@@crossbowskiss maybe, its because they are an artistfamily, so they give to their children what they know and have... art. I guess it's a tradition thing.
@@andyd3447 Her music became popular when Ocean Eyes was released for free on Soundcloud. It was the third song they ever released on Soundcloud. It had nothing to do with record industry connections. After the song blew up, they had record companies fighting over them.
I am so glad to know of artists with both parents supporting them and loving them, great job mom and dad! More importantly, I love that Finneas and Billie give back the love & respect to their children. Great job everyone, I wish to see more of this.
The upside is music was the inspiration, no matter how many challenges they had as a family, and it explains Billies incredibly deep and heartfelt lyrics💜
It is really nice to see that this family was so blessed with love and support. It's wonderful that something like this came from a place where there seems to be nothing but woe on the news. Much love and respect to Billie and her great family. 💖
WOW !!! That's such an Amazing family story !! She is soooo lucky to had that ! Full support, unconditional love. This is so rare and precious . Her parents are amazing and so she is 💜💜💜
Billie grew up with her parents living paycheck to paycheck and yet: she has not the slightest clue how much a box of cereal costs. Did she never go grocery shopping with her parents? Like, ever? Not to mention, she sells her merch $50 for a shirt, $100 for a sweatshirt. (Yes, I realize they are organically and ethically made in the U.S., but try telling that to her 12 year old superfans with low-income parents.)
@@182prizinha sometimes parents knows if their kid is destined for the spotlight. Take lavar ball? Had 3 sons 2 of 3 are in the nba. He cultivated their talents and led them to this at a young age. The nba is very exclusive and difficult yet he has 2 there
I don't agree that the parents are the ones who is doing this for Billie. Yes they are part of it. But it's her brother who's the real genious behind it all.
I agree; he doesn't get nearly enough credit when it comes to their success. He does everything and all Billie does is lay the tracks (he writes most of the music on top of everything else). But he seems to enjoy not being the focal point and seems fine with Billie being more in the limelight.
@@lillium4139 Oh but Billie does do her own vocals. They write the music togethor, Finneas makes the music mostly for it and has the finishing touches but i don't doubt that Billie is very knowledgeble too. They are very great togethor. Sometimes in life you find someone who boost your life and they do that for eachother. And that's why they are geniouses because they vibe along.
@@boyke112 but that's all she really does. She lays the tracks (aka vocals) but that's really about it. 90% of their songs are created by Phineas including lyrics.
This is so important! Their parents are nurturing their gifts. I never had a music class at any of my schools and I think it’s incredibly important to have parent’s (or a parent, guardian or teacher) start having musical instruments around their children when they’re young. Playing music is good too. Music is so important and I’m so grateful for it. Music is unquestionably vital and it’s literally the soundtrack to our lives…
They've got great parents and likewise they've got great kids!! 👏🏼♥️💯 To be ABLE to take care of their parents after all their parents have done for them, is a blessing. 🙏
This family have found their soulmates in this lifetime! They are practically one soul! They were together when they were in their lows & now they are superstars they are ever stickier to each other than ever! It’a very rare these days to be able to find your soulmates; your parents, your partner, your children, etc.
This really got me thinking about the meaning of being parents: nurturing wonderful human beings to be better than us, to make the world a better place. It’s hard work and often being seen as personal choices. But it’s actually good for the whole world and under-valued. What’s worse, being a parent and caring children is often considered as a disadvantage in this society, harder to do their jobs well, harder to find good partner etc. Trying hard to be a good and responsible parent shouldn’t be punished.
I knew Billy as a youngster she used to ride at the barn I worked at her parents are tremendous people she's an amazing young lady I miss her everyday God bless her and her family.
Wish I had parents like this. A lot of years have gone by with me just trying to heal from the trauma that they caused. Here I am as a recovering musician, trying to find my way and man, I wish things were different. It's nice to see talented people like her thriving though, it gives me hope. 💙
Great biography ...reminds me of raising my kids both amazing musicians and artists ..just stuck in some personal struggles...I feel it should be mentioned to their millions of fans around the world..that thou humble hardworking dedicated and support full this family is IT IS INCREDIBLY incredibly rare..an exception ..many families I ve met are very similar ..it just never includes stardom YET 😉...I just think it's important for kids and parents not feel deep sadness remorse or sadly for some deep jealousy maybe even resentment of their parents or even parents of their kids ...the stars of Stardom truelly only align for a very few .Now this being said ..I think their story is a beautiful and inspiring one ...but not a common one.
It's great that they have supportive parents, and that they support their parents. Though to NOT pay their unemployed folks would be incredibly stupid, from a purely business and tax perspective.
They fought, and still fight for a Better World, full of Love and respect for the Human Being. Money and fame do not help the Beauty and the most Beautiful Values that we need to live in our world. Thank you for being so cute and a good model Family. That's a great way to show how much we can do for our child when we love them ❤️
I always know that Billie is an awesome human being and the people around her too.Her family is the biggest support for her to be this big and to achieve the dream. 👍
This brought tears to my eyes....I only wish my parents were half as supportive as Billie's. Billie is amazing and she owes a lot of that to her loving, supportive family....So nice to see...
i was literally thinking the same thing.
I bet if you only make half of what Billie makes. Your parents wound also be supportive
@@nayu7314 but if you've actually watched the video, you'd understand that their parents were as supportive of billie and finneas when they werent famous
My dad left I know the feeling
My mom threatens me saying she’ll take away my singing lessons
She is a lucky one. And we all see what a child can become and achieve when he/she has a supportive environment.
👏
And is beautifully neurodivergent and allowed to be herself.

I appreciate the effort of the whole family to bring us this art.
Yes exactly!! There's very often a solid reason behind why someone might be ungrateful, even if they aren't yet fully concious of what that reason is themselves. Far too many parents weaponise their role as caregivers to demand gratitude and affection from their kids, sometimes after years of inflicted chilhood abuse. If you're truly a good parent and fulfilling your child's needs, they'll almost certainly be grateful to have you. Gratitude comes from feeling loved, supported, listened to, and just generally having your emotional needs met in some kind of way, and if you aren't willing to meet your child's emotional needs as a parent, don't expect your kids to be grateful for you.
@@boinkadoinkk Absolutely 👏❣️
It is like a perfect storm of good! Maggie and Pat are the coolest and best Mom and Dad!
Mad respect to their parents for working so hard to cultivate their values and work ethics in their children 💪🏼💜💜💜
They are such a great example of parents to creatives. Love that Billie pays them as crew, this is how you take care of family 😍
Such an amazing beautiful family with genuine talent. Absolutely love how they are so tight-knit.
You are so blessed to have such a loving supportive and genuinely nurturing parents. Love your family
They don’t even know how lucky they are and how rare it is that parents like that. I’m happy for them, but I am so sad for my inner child. How she was suffocated and abused and I’m still uncovering and recovering from it. What would I have been if I’d had love? Hugs? “I love you” the fact that her mom even acknowledges her mental health let alone protects it. My mom couldn’t care less how I feel. I remember begging her to hug me as a kid and she just scoffed and laughed and said “why? you don’t exactly make it easy to love you”
They are an amazingly talented and close family...given Finnesus and Billie huge support living in a small two bedroom apartment, giving love and support to their children....its beautiful to see the connection between them....pure love and support ❤❤
Wow, I cannot imagine artists parents supporting their kids to become artists as well. Usually I have seen the pendulum goes to the opposite side from one generation into another. I know a family which was like billie's, the musical parents taught music at home to their son and then he graduated as an Engineer and later did MBA to become a worker in corporate world. He does well financially. And here me being an Engineer and doing well, teaching my daugher music as a side thing and asking her to focus on being a professional Engineer or Doctor.
I love her story and her parents for being 100 percent committed to their family!!! God bless you all!
Billie has depth. From poor to a celebrity. Others are just plastic/fake. But everything about billie is real
she was not poor
@@cianciaway883not rich either
I love Billie n her beautiful family! I now love them even more. I had no idea her Mom n Dad were actors. I totally recognize her Mom from different roles.
The fabulosity is through the roof!
I'm so glad finneas and Billie got wonderful parents! Thank u Billie and finneas's mom and dad!
I love the story of their family and how they support each other!
This is so touching. So proud for her and her family!
I am part of generation Z like Billie Eilish, I was born the same year as her (2001).
I had many talents with potential in sports (football/soccer, swimming, archery) and in the arts (drawing, musical instruments, public speaker).
But my parents and the rest of my family never supported me, on the contrary they constantly put me down.
All they wanted was for me to earn a lot of money to satisfy them but not me.
I lost my confidence and my assurance and I know that my potential is wasted.
Billie Eilish had a wonderful entourage, her parents are incredible people, they did everything for her to succeed and she succeeded.
She was able to test dancing, horse riding, singing until she found the area where she is the best.
Having talent is not enough to succeed, if you have a bad entourage you will not achieve anything.
Many talented people have had their potential wasted because of bad surroundings.
I am very happy that Billie Eilish was able to succeed because I see in her what I could have become with good surroundings.
I wish her and her family the happiest life.
Finneas was literally on glee. Are you telling me he didnt meet a single person from the music industry while he was on there?
Agreed.. scary how parents have been focused the kids whole life on kids being stars.. do parents deserve payment for that?? Idk.. it somehow seems wrong..
@@crossbowskiss maybe, its because they are an artistfamily, so they give to their children what they know and have... art. I guess it's a tradition thing.
What does Finneas meeting people on Glee have to do with their parent's connections?
@@melodicomen777 He had connections as did his parents. Lets not act like Billie just started from nothing.
@@andyd3447 Her music became popular when Ocean Eyes was released for free on Soundcloud. It was the third song they ever released on Soundcloud.
It had nothing to do with record industry connections. After the song blew up, they had record companies fighting over them.
I am so glad to know of artists with both parents supporting them and loving them, great job mom and dad! More importantly, I love that Finneas and Billie give back the love & respect to their children. Great job everyone, I wish to see more of this.
1:34 The family pic with their dog... so cute 😭❤
They are such an Inspirational American Family, Love it.
The upside is music was the inspiration, no matter how many challenges they had as a family, and it explains Billies incredibly deep and heartfelt lyrics💜
It is really nice to see that this family was so blessed with love and support. It's wonderful that something like this came from a place where there seems to be nothing but woe on the news. Much love and respect to Billie and her great family. 💖
Had to sleep on a futon poor princess. Jesus christ wake up!
Parent's love & sacrifice can move mountains ❤
WOW !!! That's such an Amazing family story !! She is soooo lucky to had that ! Full support, unconditional love. This is so rare and precious . Her parents are amazing and so she is 💜💜💜
These parents are amazing. You hope all parents would make similar choices but sacrifice is hard for people. Look what love this family has.
Well no wonder you and your brother are so creative and talented it runs in your family!!
Billie grew up with her parents living paycheck to paycheck and yet: she has not the slightest clue how much a box of cereal costs. Did she never go grocery shopping with her parents? Like, ever?
Not to mention, she sells her merch $50 for a shirt, $100 for a sweatshirt. (Yes, I realize they are organically and ethically made in the U.S., but try telling that to her 12 year old superfans with low-income parents.)
Just what I was thinking and was about to comment. And why such an obsession with being/making them famous?
EXACTLY.
Well yes, your sweatshirt is going to cost more than $20 if its not made by people in Burma making $4/week 🙄
@@182prizinha sometimes parents knows if their kid is destined for the spotlight. Take lavar ball? Had 3 sons 2 of 3 are in the nba.
He cultivated their talents and led them to this at a young age. The nba is very exclusive and difficult yet he has 2 there
I doubt she has control over pricing as thats a marketting team but i agree she should take notice and change that
Billie is as nice and sweet a girl as one can be. I'm very proud of her and happy she has kept it together as well as she has. She's good.
Wow, the love. What a great family. This report gives significant insight. Beautiful 😍
I'm sure they are so glad for it!! Billie certainly made them proud!! And they still have a close bond.Great job Eilish family!!
Mad respect to this family.
The depth of Love goes beyond the mind, the heart shatters the illusion......
How beautiful to let the soul truly flourish.
I don't agree that the parents are the ones who is doing this for Billie. Yes they are part of it. But it's her brother who's the real genious behind it all.
I agree; he doesn't get nearly enough credit when it comes to their success. He does everything and all Billie does is lay the tracks (he writes most of the music on top of everything else). But he seems to enjoy not being the focal point and seems fine with Billie being more in the limelight.
@@lillium4139 Oh but Billie does do her own vocals. They write the music togethor, Finneas makes the music mostly for it and has the finishing touches but i don't doubt that Billie is very knowledgeble too. They are very great togethor.
Sometimes in life you find someone who boost your life and they do that for eachother. And that's why they are geniouses because they vibe along.
@@boyke112 but that's all she really does. She lays the tracks (aka vocals) but that's really about it. 90% of their songs are created by Phineas including lyrics.
@@lillium4139 No she write her own lyrics :p
@@boyke112 Phineas writes most of them
This is so important! Their parents are nurturing their gifts. I never had a music class at any of my schools and I think it’s incredibly important to have parent’s (or a parent, guardian or teacher) start having musical instruments around their children when they’re young. Playing music is good too. Music is so important and I’m so grateful for it. Music is unquestionably vital and it’s literally the soundtrack to our lives…
They've got great parents and likewise they've got great kids!! 👏🏼♥️💯
To be ABLE to take care of their parents after all their parents have done for them, is a blessing. 🙏
This family have found their soulmates in this lifetime! They are practically one soul! They were together when they were in their lows & now they are superstars they are ever stickier to each other than ever! It’a very rare these days to be able to find your soulmates; your parents, your partner, your children, etc.
As a mom once my children know what they want in life I will fully support them.
This is what parenting everywhere should be like ❤
This really got me thinking about the meaning of being parents: nurturing wonderful human beings to be better than us, to make the world a better place. It’s hard work and often being seen as personal choices. But it’s actually good for the whole world and under-valued. What’s worse, being a parent and caring children is often considered as a disadvantage in this society, harder to do their jobs well, harder to find good partner etc. Trying hard to be a good and responsible parent shouldn’t be punished.
very true
Enjoyed this.. thanks! 🙏
I love to see that Billie and Phineas are such family oriented children! I am in awe of Billie's inner and outer beauty!
To have a family like this, is the best thing what could happened to these guys! ❤ These two ‚kids‘ are the luckiest in the whole world! ❤
I absolutely adore billie
Conspiracy dude side I meant earlier Thorogood awesome eyebrows back here in brown eyes Hopkins
I knew Billy as a youngster she used to ride at the barn I worked at her parents are tremendous people she's an amazing young lady I miss her everyday God bless her and her family.
She's soo cute and fun👑💞
Love that girl
Wish I had parents like this. A lot of years have gone by with me just trying to heal from the trauma that they caused.
Here I am as a recovering musician, trying to find my way and man, I wish things were different. It's nice to see talented people like her thriving though, it gives me hope.
💙
I love You Billie Eilish
That has lights and boyfriend and girlfriend in the friend zone Billy in the friend zone you being the friend zone and you
What amazing parents. No wonder Billie is so talented.
Love and blessings to you and your family Billie. Truly wonderful people!
this is the best thing I've learnt about celebrities this whole year. why can't we have this kind of news all the time?
Great biography ...reminds me of raising my kids both amazing musicians and artists ..just stuck in some personal struggles...I feel it should be mentioned to their millions of fans around the world..that thou humble hardworking dedicated and support full this family is IT IS INCREDIBLY incredibly rare..an exception ..many families I ve met are very similar ..it just never includes stardom YET 😉...I just think it's important for kids and parents not feel deep sadness remorse or sadly for some deep jealousy maybe even resentment of their parents or even parents of their kids ...the stars of Stardom truelly only align for a very few .Now this being said ..I think their story is a beautiful and inspiring one ...but not a common one.
Bs
That totally explains the vibes I caught from her. Adds up. Super glad for her parents.
It's great that they have supportive parents, and that they support their parents. Though to NOT pay their unemployed folks would be incredibly stupid, from a purely business and tax perspective.
Very High respect to their parents 🎉. I love Billie's music😊
She’s so pretty and cute ☺️🖤💚
Cool to see a normal family create a wonderful unit that just works! You all rock!
Wonderful family ❤
These are the kind of parents we should all be
They started from zero, this is truly inspiring.
A beautiful grounded and humbling success love story👏👏👏🙌💫❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️many more blessings to you guys🙏❤️
I was expecting some sort of exposé about how they were rich all along, but this is actually so wholesome???
They fought, and still fight for a Better World, full of Love and respect for the Human Being. Money and fame do not help the Beauty and the most Beautiful Values that we need to live in our world. Thank you for being so cute and a good model Family. That's a great way to show how much we can do for our child when we love them ❤️
Wonderful what a loving family can create. I've never really listened to Billie and Finneas' music, but I'm going to make a point to do it.
I always know that Billie is an awesome human being and the people around her too.Her family is the biggest support for her to be this big and to achieve the dream. 👍
