The parents did come off as strict but I noticed that one of the boys had ear piercings. I'm a Christian and grew up Christian and in my home we viewed Tattoos and piercings as an insult to our bodies and to God, so to me it seems like in that household that if you work and show that you want something you'll get it. That to me is the most important lesson in life that any parent could teach their children that so many kids lack nowadays
The mom sharing her childhood trauma of her dad was definitely Stacey’s turning point. These people had been through trauma, took their trauma, and grew from it. They became the parents they wished they had. And I think that’s what made them so understanding and compassionate towards these kids. They’re strict, but not unreasonable. By far my favorite family.

Wow how the mom handled the kids when they admitted to smoking is amazing. To praise their character but condemn the action, its great. I originally thought they were gonna be crazy parents but they are just good parents. I hope the their two boys turn out to be amazing gentlemen.
i think these are the best parents that took in troubled children that i have seen so far! they are not too strict, but not too lenient either. they also were incredibly nice by letting them have the nicotine patches and gum because they know addiction is hard to overcome. this is my favorite family❤
I really appreciate that this family didn't impose any dress code rules on the girls that they wouldn't also impose on the boys. It always struck me as unfair the amount of families on this show that placed the burden on girls to dress modestly but never talked to the boys about respect.
This is much more better than every other episodes I've watched. This family is an awesome true Christian family. They are strict yet understand and caring and the children can feel that. Awesome.
@@maddiemac365 yep!! It’s a venue where it’s seen as appropriate to publicly ridicule the struggles of minors/ teenagers. I think that’s adult society’s way of dealing with their own childhood/ teenage suppressed trauma.
100% agree thats why I dislike shows like this, as well as the notion that its acceptable to portray their issues on camera when most of their issues could be solved with therapy.
they need therapy, i am not done with this episode yet but i find these types of things to be exploitative and non-helpful. they both seem to have deeply rooted personal problems
They're both miserable tbh. I grew up around these kinds of teenagers in middle school and high school. My teachers would always be like "how are you hanging out with them and still have good grades." Simple. I never let them influence me. Some ended up in terrible situations in adulthood now though, some got better.
i love how these parents weren't abusively strict. they showed that children can be disciplined through the nurture and genuine care of others. edit: i'm not saying their restrictive parenting style is good. i was just saying that they were more gentle in their approach to the kids in comparison to other the other parents on this show.

They are much more likely to have the teens respect them and do as the ask being allowed to wear what they want and have the piercings. Getting the girls to dress modestly and taking the piercings out causes friction and doesn’t achieve anything.

Since these kids didn't have to go to school during their stay, it didn't come up. There could be other reasons, but just think it's because none of the activities they chose for their stay required removing the piercings.

They were actually the nicest parents I’ve seen from this series💀 offering them nicotine patches, not restricting the girl on what she wears, even the punishment was relatively easy.
Nobody says this but I lover their bond with the dog. Somehow the dog likes them means they aren't evil. If they can be chill with the dog and the dog likes them too, it's A good sign.
My Mom used to have me run laps around the house but this was due to my extreme hyperactivity. Car trips they'd do the same but either circles around our car or the patch of grass etc 🤣
One person who stood out for me was the Christian mom, she was filled with love, grace and compassion. Exactly what the children needed Especially the hug Micah received when admitting the truth Think that was his turn around Curious to know how these kids" are doing now
I'm an atheist. I don't agree with house rules, I find prayer annoying and the 'no watching fantasy' stuff. I wouldn't want to live there-but they didn't seem preachy or annoying. I could live there for two weeks if I really had too.
Them: *dislikes witch craft, and anything that "promotes" it." Also them: "This is our dog, APOLLO" Idk why, but that made me laugh so much due to the irony, lmao.
I love the connection W Micah and Stacey throughout the whole thing lmao especially when he let her cry on his shoulder when they were leaving and when Stacy hugged him when they snuck out and Micah just let that happen 🥺
In case anyone was wondering, families like this do exist. Met alot of kids raised like this when I went to college in Tennessee and it was great. If everyone had families like this, I think we would have way less issues in the country and in the world.
I kinda like that the parents understand that it’s not like you can just stop smoking. I think it’s cool that they offer nicotine gum and patches EDIT: thanks for the likes guys
@@Chase-ck4vz I got sick from smoking so much to the point of constant coughing where i just could not smoke anymore... but i STILL smoke when drinking
16:41 its tiny moments like these “feel better?” that remind me that these are just troubled kids, not evil monsters. sometimes i feel thats what the tv makes them up as
The only thing that I didn’t like is that this behavior often causes problems with the kids bc they believe they will never be good enough and that it’s not ok to make mistakes.
its so nice seeing these parents genuinely care and want what's best for these teens rather than being control hungry like some other parents who force their ways on others
I really love how instead of being overly mean or harsh or controlling the parents showed the kids that they really cared about them. They showed them what was wrong and instead of yelling at them they showed them compassion and taught them to be guilty of their wrongdoings.
I disagree. Once kids are taught right from wrong, doing the right thing should be expected, and shouldn’t need to be rewarded. These kids don’t get participation trophies like some others.
one thing i did really like about the american family is they didnt have "girl jobs" and "boy jobs" (atleast as far as ive watched right now) they made both kids do yard work and both kids work out, usually id expect them to make the girl wash dishes or whatever
best episode of this show imo. The parents were amazing and showed respect to what the children wore and seemed like they genuinely cared. I wish i was raised by these parents.
Seen parents on this show that actually care about their own kids and the visiting kids, and also parents who just want power. And these parents are definitely the former. Y’all take care and god bless, love ❤️
incorrect. you never, under any circumstances, push your faith on your kids, especially kids who aren't even yours. you never guilt trip them like they did. they wanted power.
"Old" people are the best! They have some of the best stories and they've hit the age where they don't have any boundaries when it comes to talking. The elderly are some of the sweetest people too, and that's probably because they've seen lots of things in life.

They were actually the nicest parents I’ve seen from this series💀 offering them nicotine patches, not restricting the girl on what she wears, even the punishment was relatively easy.
The scene in the car, tears, side armed, loving hug. Young men ~ respect
The mom's visor and hair has me rolling 😂💯
ME TOO OMG
Same 😂😂😂😂😂
Right like why she put her bangs over the visor
At least her bangs were out of her eyes 😅
Big time, sooo stereotypical
Nobody says this but I lover their bond with the dog. Somehow the dog likes them means they aren't evil. If they can be chill with the dog and the dog likes them too, it's A good sign.
27:26 the dog lol
15:56 was sweet
I judge many things in life based off dogs lol
That man was so creepy when he said “I like to do punishments in the physical realm”
@@lavochat15 😂😂😂😂
My Mom used to have me run laps around the house but this was due to my extreme hyperactivity. Car trips they'd do the same but either circles around our car or the patch of grass etc 🤣
sounded pretty sus to me 😳🤚🏾
@@lavochat15 LNAO STOP
@@lavochat15 LMAO
the mom is so incredibly nice, shes so understanding about her smoking addiction an is trying to help her.
It's nice that this family looked at these two like kids who need help and not problems.
Megumin better
One person who stood out for me was the Christian mom, she was filled with love, grace and compassion. Exactly what the children needed
Especially the hug Micah received when admitting the truth
Think that was his turn around
Curious to know how these kids" are doing now
She’s a good Christian woman
I'm an atheist. I don't agree with house rules, I find prayer annoying and the 'no watching fantasy' stuff. I wouldn't want to live there-but they didn't seem preachy or annoying. I could live there for two weeks if I really had too.

@@MadScientist267One day you will meet Him.
I wanna talk about Micah’s mother’s house cuz it looks so cozy and warm. Looks like an actual Harry Potter character would live there.
Exactly, reminds me of the burrow
Not that the family would know lol
@@ophelia4825 😂
That has to be the nicest family I have ever seen, absolute role models.
I love this mom. We may not share beliefs but she is so sweet and kind. I love how she just wants everyone to be happy.
Them: *dislikes witch craft, and anything that "promotes" it."
Also them: "This is our dog, APOLLO"
Idk why, but that made me laugh so much due to the irony, lmao.
i dont get it
@siena which is sometimes used in witchcraft 😂
@siena ik i was just agreeing with u :D
@siena the calling Harry Potter witch craft is just amazing like, do you think it’s going to corrupt them???
@someone Apollo has oracles that are considered witches/wizards.
love how she’s worried about wasting paper but not her life
Underrated comment 😆😆
An environmental queen 😂
Life is temporary paper is forever
@@yabazyabacoffee But paper is from trees and we need trees
This mom is so kind at heart and really understands, she doesn’t yell she try’s to understand and just has conversations
I can't believe Micah would smoke in front of her because it actually seemed like Stacy was doing ok with the Nicotine patches.
I love the connection W Micah and Stacey throughout the whole thing lmao especially when he let her cry on his shoulder when they were leaving and when Stacy hugged him when they snuck out and Micah just let that happen 🥺
In case anyone was wondering, families like this do exist. Met alot of kids raised like this when I went to college in Tennessee and it was great. If everyone had families like this, I think we would have way less issues in the country and in the world.
I agree
My foster family were like this. I still keep in toycb with them alot.
Except not letting them watch Harry potter or The Wizard of Oz
They are too controlling and were just moulding them to be able to live their dreams through them. Otherwise I saw no issues.
I love seeing all the different ways family can love and teach you with this series. So positive
their entire outfit screams 2007, and i’m all for it😂
It seems to me, that this video is like 15 years old. 2005-2008 probably filmed. I hope someone knows more!
filmed in 2008 aired in 2009
i think this is one of the nicest families i've seen.
i don’t think so :)
@@McKenzieBlood why not?
@@phoebekippenberger7023 the mom was rather manipulative
Not at all
@@McKenzieBlood i agree i'm not giving her my phone.
I kinda like that the parents understand that it’s not like you can just stop smoking. I think it’s cool that they offer nicotine gum and patches
EDIT: thanks for the likes guys
Yeah, I've never smoked, but from what I understand you can't go cold turkey on it, so that was very thoughtful of them.
@@Chase-ck4vz even on medication you can’t go cold turkey I learned the hard way
@@Chase-ck4vz I got sick from smoking so much to the point of constant coughing where i just could not smoke anymore... but i STILL smoke when drinking
def got my respect with that
@Skyla Reeves same I love gum
The portraits of the mom and dad in every room had me dying 😂
xD
That and her ‘hair visor’. Classic.
It's like Kim Jong un
@@vooveks that drove me to madness. The ugliest thing ever.
16:41 its tiny moments like these “feel better?” that remind me that these are just troubled kids, not evil monsters. sometimes i feel thats what the tv makes them up as
These are the best parents ever they really help their kids succeed in life. Jealous actually.
There kids are actors 🥰
Besides the wizards of all thing
not really
Same I kinda wish I had parents like this
The only thing that I didn’t like is that this behavior often causes problems with the kids bc they believe they will never be good enough and that it’s not ok to make mistakes.

lmao, underrated comment
😂😂😂😂😂
Well it is evil so 🤷
@@Isabelle-Cassels depends on how its used. Their are some bad practices in witchcraft but there are many good practices aswell
Witchcraft can be used for good or bad relax.
its so nice seeing these parents genuinely care and want what's best for these teens rather than being control hungry like some other parents who force their ways on others
i feel so bad for the mum having to go through that with her dad, trying to help other teens be better was so amazing.
I really love how instead of being overly mean or harsh or controlling the parents showed the kids that they really cared about them. They showed them what was wrong and instead of yelling at them they showed them compassion and taught them to be guilty of their wrongdoings.
Kudos to the mom for understanding that nicotine goes beyond just having fun.

@@sdowns8302do you not realize that trauma and bad parenting is the main factor that causes kids to act in ways that you consider “ungrateful idiots”
I wish he respected his poor mother. She says please and is very kind. He does not deserve her.
She should have been rewarded for her honesty. This way there’s a balance of punishment but acknowledged her honesty.
I disagree. Once kids are taught right from wrong, doing the right thing should be expected, and shouldn’t need to be rewarded. These kids don’t get participation trophies like some others.
@@beverlypearson5332 i feel like that’s just teaching your kid to be dishonest.
@@beverlypearson5332 she isnt in this show for noting. She should be rewarded in my opinion
one thing i did really like about the american family is they didnt have "girl jobs" and "boy jobs" (atleast as far as ive watched right now) they made both kids do yard work and both kids work out, usually id expect them to make the girl wash dishes or whatever
Well girls are just as capable of doing yard work as any guy
@@imawalrus368
And boys are just as capable to do housework as girls.
@@imawalrus368 Both male and female can do the same jobs as eachother case closed.
@@az639 sorry for my earlier comment I didn't read it correctly, I'm illiterate lol
Yeah, but somehow my stepdad made me do like 3x the work as all my brothers
best episode of this show imo. The parents were amazing and showed respect to what the children wore and seemed like they genuinely cared. I wish i was raised by these parents.
38:24 the thank you to the driver just proves she has learned something, and that is so sweet.
Stacy folded real quick when they asked them if they’d smoked 😭
It's good character.
She probably wanted them to know she doesn't follow their rules
she feels bad, you can see it. she’s most likely of much healthier habits and morals now :)
Seen parents on this show that actually care about their own kids and the visiting kids, and also parents who just want power. And these parents are definitely the former. Y’all take care and god bless, love ❤️
incorrect. you never, under any circumstances, push your faith on your kids, especially kids who aren't even yours. you never guilt trip them like they did. they wanted power.
their dog is so cute, he's always just laying down and chilling... i love him so much..
What else is he going to do?
American dream
I love this Tennessee family. The mother and dad is so loving, caring, and understanding.
"Old" people are the best! They have some of the best stories and they've hit the age where they don't have any boundaries when it comes to talking. The elderly are some of the sweetest people too, and that's probably because they've seen lots of things in life.
Where in God's name do these kids get the money for cigarettes?! I started smoking at 17 and quit at 22 because it was so expensive!
Job
God I wish I had the willpower to quit. I've been smoking since I was 17 and I feel sick thinking about all the money I've wasted
There friends??
@@embily8186 same! i started when i was 15 cause i live in nz and lots of teens smoke and binge drink here (including me, clubs liqour ect age is 18) but it makes me feel crazy how much ive spent on drinks/smokes
