    Totally agree with Zach on the context and tone of using text messages! Many a conversation has been skewed because someone does not pick up on the tone of a question or comment!

    One thing I notice after watching a lot of your vlogs... how little time most of us (I'm assuming) actually spend an hour like this just talking with your spouse and how my own relationships could have benefited from having this kind of dialog every week.

    You two are such lovely parents! Zach, you have such an innate wisdom that you bring to your children and the kids you coach. Tori, your chill energy and acceptance just gives people around you the space to be themselves. Your kids are lucky to have you both as their parents! ❤

  • @Pwong808
    @Pwong808 8 дней назад +4

    Um you guys have the best perspective on parenting in general not to mention with children who have dwarfism. I am continually encouraged by you both. I feel for Tori as a mom but happy to hear the realistic dad approach. Letting kids experience things that are “unfair” is actually so good for them. Cuz mom and dad aren’t around forever.

    Hearing you share how so many people you know who've passed and at a young age makes me feel compelled to say I hope you have a set estate plan, will, and POA's. I'm a probate paralegal, so that's where my mind goes. Just want everyone to be prepared.

    My son, who has dwarfism, always loved wrestling. He never got involved in wrestling in high school, he did baseball and basketball. But he did end up at the age of 19 joining a wrestling group and traveled the world and all over the United States. He had some pay per views and a mini reality on spike TV. Now at the age of 44 his body can't take the wrestling, but he still is involved by reefing and being the MC.

    I think there is so much benefit from having both boys & girls growing up together. I was a youngest girl with 2 older brothers and I grew up tougher and readier for what life threw at me because of it. My 5 stepdaughters were ages 1-10 when their dad & I met, and my 2 boys were 2-4, and throughout their growing up, they learned so much from each other. The boys learned how to respect & relate to girls, and the girls learned how to respect & relate to boys. The girls weren't afraid to learn how to fix cars or get dirty, and the boys weren't shy about playing dolls with the girls & being more sensitive. As adults they are better humans and better parents and better spouses, all of them, because of it. ♥

    SCREAMING I AM SO STOKED TO FINALLY HEAR A WRESTLING MENTION!! I am a MS/HS wrestling coach and disability advocate, and it is a perfect sport for an athlete with dwarfism or any other array of physical or mental disabilities. I am so disappointed we don't have paralympic wrestling but I think it's because disabled wrestlers stay in the mainstream sport. Zach you nailed it, and Tori, wrestling community would grow on you! It isn't as bloody and tough guy vibes as you'd think. It's hard work, grit, no excuses environment.

Have she been seeing the grandkids? I'm sure she does. She seems to be a good grandma. If you can send some pictures of Grandma Amy with the grandkids but keep up the good work. I know what it's like being a parent that everybody has a their opinions which are some are wrong and some all right. But these guys are doing a great job

    Lilah IS rad. Could tell in that first vid I saw with the boys playing on and around her and she didn't even flinch. But you can also tell there's also a sweetness to her like in the Christmas Pageant vid. The boys are cool too. And so are you two! Also thank you sincerely for saying 'rad' because literally my first memories of life were the other kids saying it in the late 80's and I know it's old hat but I'm not giving it up ever because that would be totally un-rad. Happy almost spring Roloffs!

    Tori I am a mom of boys and wrestling is a great outlet for boys… supervised chaos.. my boys wrestled at home from the time they could move… so getting them into the sport with structure was a win. They also played team sports but the growth that came with individual sports was amazing. You’ll love sitting on the sidelines and cheering them on and by the way girls are also very good at wrestling…and can be very girly girls too. I bet Lila would be kick butt good at it. Just sayin !😊
