I find you both very normal and level headed. That’s (surprisingly) refreshing for YT content. I hope you continue with success without getting screwed up by Social Media.
I love how real you 2 are! I can see the love you have for each other even with the daily struggles of marriage, family, work, etc.I was laughing when you talked about how we see the kids all happy at swimming but not the meltdown after! I think too often we see others on social media and think they have the perfect life! Your videos are so relatable! You both seem like such great parents-you admit it gets tough but you are there for the kids and each other and are willing to keep the lines of communication open. Bless you both and your kids!
This really means the world to us, thank you!! It’s so true about social media, it’s easy to compare and forget you are only seeing clips of someone’s life!
I tried dating a guy with kids and it was really hard. He was obsessed with his kids. He was depressed when they had to go back to their mom. My kids are my life but for me they were not an obsession. I ended the relationship and glad I did.
While I can’t relate to a blended family (married to a beautiful Italian brunette for over 10 years with an 8 year old princess), I really enjoyed your candid video. It was real and sincere. I greatly appreciated that. Keep the videos coming.
Thanks for making this video. I spent 5 years trying the same thing in a very similar situation and it didn't work out... so much healing watching this. Thanks for letting me know my situation was not unique (in a good way).
I absolutely understand what you have been through. So happy for you and proud of you. J. You are so beautiful BTW. and D. You are so beautiful and kind ❤
Wow.... thanks for not faking anything!!!!!!!! Hate when people act like everything is so easy in a blended family. It is really the hardest struggle I have ever faced in my life😢
I had no idea what a blended family even meant until today. I wish your family the best! I've seen some of your shorts, funny stuff. Brother you have a beautiful wife, she can get as many Amazon packages as she likes lol. God bless.
I love you2 so much! My favorite video was the one when Janie had punished one of the boys against the wall, Dave walked by and asked how long he had to stay on the wall and then Dave said he was going to see about it. A little while later, Dave came back and stood against the wall for 20 min he told the little boy! I laughed so hard! Like others have said what is so great about you 2 you are so down to earth, you all are great, and make me laugh so hard, and I appreciate you talking and talking about how you all met, and talking about your blended family! I love you all so much!
Discipline in a blended family is only an issue if one of you is at odds with the other's idea of what is acceptable and what is not and usually that only happens if one parent takes things too far. For instance if you are ok with the way your husband disciplines his two boys and your daughter than by default as long as he treats your son Peter the same and disciplines him in the same manner or to the same extent all should be fine and Vice Versa. Typically men discipline more harshly than women, typically boys will push the boundaries more with Mom than Dad and that is magnified in blended families if the two parents don't back each other up. IE if Dave comes in behind you and changes discipline you have given to his boys it is doubly damaging then if it was done to your daughter as the boys will then believe they do not have to listen to any discipline you give and simply wait till Dad comes home. You have to let go of "He's" mine "they" are his and "she" is ours mind set. You both have to agree on what is acceptable discipline and it has to be able to be given by either one to any child all the time. This ensures the children know they are all the same both when they do good and are loved and when they make mistakes, push boundaries, or act out an are in trouble or your upset with them.
I understand exactly what you are saying and I appreciate what you are doing and you are a very loving couple and so it will work you are excellent in what you're doing and I'm sure you're doing it totally for your family you are a great couple, thank You,, mike
She seems real motherly, and her voice seems perfect, so that's what makes her attractive to me. Her look is there but she did not originally looked this attractive
Dave, you are a lucky man to have found a golden dime. Janie, think about it He (Dave) has a beefy Jeremy Renner Look. Not Meaning Heavy in any way. I am new to your channel, and enjoy the videos, remember they are the memories you will always have to enjoy.
@@Kyle-gb9dq sadly in MANY blended families the step dad doesnt like her kids, Or the new wife doesnt really care for his children. She is more worried about her own kids. IT gets complicated.
when my parents divorced i had to meeet the woman my dad was with, i was coridial. however m that night when i went to my room i cried for hours. Children wanna see mom and dad stay together.
