I'm genuinely so happy that they're doing this dear tom/gi/carrie thing because otherwise Tom would probably upload once every two months and it's just so nice hearing him talking about his week and random stuff xD
shnakered (or whatever you're supposed to spell it) is probably the most british thing I've ever heard after "hello gov'nor, tea with the queen? cheerio" ahahah
You're right that social media sometimes portraits a false image. When I comment you and Gi's vlogs and instagram with "Family goals❤️" I know there are sleepless nights, poop places poop shouldn't be and bad days - you're honest about that too. Aswell as you are about the good times. When I think about the family I grew up in I don't remember hugs, kisses and laughter, but I want to fill my entire home with that when I get a family. That's what I see in your family. Love. So much so, that it spills on us looking in, and it reminds me that there is a different way to make a home than the way I was taught. So I stand by my comment. Thank you for letting us in! 💕
Thank you for the wonderful video as always, Tom. Thanks for talking about imperfections and even showing us your imperfections. I think we all need a reminder every once in a while that what we see on social media isn't perfect. You're doing a great job, Tom! Sending your family love from Singapore
I have never been so disappointed in someone as I am with you right now for mentioning performing with the boy but not what you said about a McFly tour :( I still love you though ;) :P -smellycatone xx
Finally you mention the performance you and Danny did but I like how you didn't talk about the "McFly tour" you invited the boy to, all in good time Tom because I know sometime you and the rest of McFly will announce this tour to everyone :)
***** I can, it's not going to be easy though because the way the whole McBusted thing played out they lost a lot of fans, it's feels like there is not many left at moment
***** I know right?! I'll never forget the Keep Calm Play Louder tour that was the start of Album 6 coming but then it all got changed and ever since well it's just been a long waiting game for album 6, but I am sure it will be worth this long wait.
I confess... I was expected you noticing us about mcfly's tour but okay. I'm happy for your life and expecially for your familly. Love ya and I'll be waiting for news about mcfly's tour ♥
I really appreciated this vid. I am a mum to a 19 month old. Social media makes being a parent look so glam that it makes you question whether you are normal or not. For instance, i don't often like having photo's, especially when my daughter was first born, due to many reasons, ie i hadn't been able to shower, i looked like a zombie due to lack of sleep, i had sick on me or i felt like a fat mummy. I just wish people were more honest on social media (but then i am guilty of it to, only putting happy, stress free pics on etc). But it would be nice to be more honest so we could all have a laugh and a joke about it. This is why i love yours and Gi's vids so much! Thank you for making me feel sane and knowing i'm not the only tired parent! Xxx
The first of many emotional times when you realise your son is growing up - reminds me of my mum crying all the way home after she dropped me off at uni for the first time :')
I think I like taking photos of happy moments coz when other people see it, i hope they become happy too :) i think the sad memories or moments are kept for ourselves because well, we do not want other people to be sad :( that's how i see it
About "goals" and how we picture ourselves and how people see our social media... I agree with you that it is mostly just a (generally good) snapshot of our lives and doesn't mean it is the whole picture... But I also think it doesn't mean it is fake. I see your and Gi's photos and videos and I think your family is amazing. Poo and comfy clothes won't change my view, hahahaha... it just makes it all real. The not so good things are just part of being alive and not a TV advertisement... A band I like (cough cough) once said "I'm gonna keep what counts and throw away what doesn't really matter" and I think it sums up this whole thing. As you said, we capture the good parts, because that's what we want to take with us... independent of what other people will make of it... That's how I see this, anyway...
Pajamas/comfy clothes are the best! I'm all about being fancy/cute when I go to work, but, when I get home ... "Hello, comfy pants." Tom, thank you for making me not feel like a weirdo! 🙂🙃🙂🙃
I work at a preschool and it's a common theme for kids that their first day is interesting to them and they're discovering everything while the parents are having a difficult time and the second day is better for the parents and then the third day is when the kids are not so sure about it anymore and kinda freaked out about it. Also, I promise that even though your kids might not seem like they want to go home at the end of the day and maybe sometimes don't pay you too much mind, there is ALWAYS going to be a time before you're there that they will ask about where you are and why you aren't there yet. And that we will love your kids nearly as much as you do, even if they're troublemakers.
omg!! we are so alike. I always put my pj or comfortable joggers on as soon as I get home from uni/work! great life!! never take my pj off if I'm home all day 😂😂😂😂
I cried as i walked out of the nursery door when i dropped my daughter off to nursery the first day, other mums were looking at me like i was a weirdo. So you're lucky that you held it together till you were alone aha x
Love this and fantastic makaton which I guess you have been learning it from mr tumble. Great song making up bet it makes it a lot calmer when your changing them bet buzz tries and sings with you xx
I love your glasses! Nice to see colors! :) A lot of people just have the more boring ones.. But these, and the other ones you wear, is such a nice + on your appearance :)
I love your videos Tom! After watching them I'm not really sure why but I feel like we are friends! And I feel really sad because I can't come to any of your shows in June because of my silly A Level exams :( I'm actually gutted :( But thank you for making me laugh and smile and occasionally cry every week when I watch your latest video! :)
You have literally just discussed what I am writing about for my assignments! Don't think my lecturer will view RUclips as a reputable source though! I agree, social media does paint a false image of perfection which I think can really affect self esteem! X
Goals, Life Goals, etc seem like a new or recent thing on social. I do see it a lot. I know what you mean about the photo album. My daughter, 5 years, was skating towards my other daughter, 9 yrs, and as a typical papa, my man was taking a video when our little one fell. She cried so much until we deleted the video! She is an awesome skater and has an image to protect!
I think its pretty obvious Tom that you've tried playing all your instruments at once. you must have!.and if not go do it, its amazing! I did it with my guitar and piano, hard but hilariously enjoyable!
Hi Tom! Love the intro song! Do I see some sign language in there too? :) Love the Hogwarts t-shirt. Actually do share the nappy songs, because I'm changing careers and going into childcare and I need to know how to improvise songs! hahaha Maybe I'll sing Mcfly songs too. Congrats to Buzz, I'm sure he'll make friends easily.
how often do you see that show.... drives me mad lol mingling words? I usually do that after a 12 hour shift as a carer. flannels and towels become tannels and flowels and numerous other stuff is your new tour gonna be recorded for DVD
What camera/editing software do you use for your videos? Aspiring vlogger asking!! Want to find the best way to do it before I start ☺️ so excited for your book to come out!!! ❤️
As a psychology undergrad, Tom, our memory actually doesn't favour the positive in some senses! There is what we call recall bias but this can be positive or negative. Also, the mechanisms in our amygdala and other parts of the temporal lobe (emotion) sometimes ensure we remember the bad things (hence PTSD etc). Thought this might be of interest!
I was like that when my god daughter started nursery for the first time I will properly no wait defiantly be like that when she start primary school for the first time this august they really don't stay babies for long =)x
I know you probably will never see this comment but I really wish the tour was in Cardiff as me and my friend really want to come but we live in Wales and are only 14 and can't travel to Birmingham (the closest venue to our town however it is still 3 1/2 hours away) Hope you read this
'I'm not brilliant at any instrument' Tom are you okay you're one of the most talented people I know of😂
he plays like 4 instruments and writes songs ans sings and acts and I am a disgrace to humanity lol
+Charleen Blaire literally same I can't do anything😂😂
Thanks for getting that Mr Tumble song stuck in my head!! haha
I'm genuinely so happy that they're doing this dear tom/gi/carrie thing because otherwise Tom would probably upload once every two months and it's just so nice hearing him talking about his week and random stuff xD
shnakered (or whatever you're supposed to spell it) is probably the most british thing I've ever heard after "hello gov'nor, tea with the queen? cheerio" ahahah
he looks like a dad-version of brendon urie
BEEBO
omg yes
yassss
not at all???
True !!! 😂😂

Omg Tom you're just the cutest and most adorable and loving father I know 😊😊
Ur little cute singing into legit made my day!!! 😂
TOM IS WEARING A HOGWARTS SHIRT, I REPEAT TOM IS WEARING A HOGWARTS SHIRT
ITS AMAZING!
+aseel alotaibi You've taken the words out of my mouth xDDDD ♥
+Aisling Grace ikr!
+Camélia Evans hahahaha glad
+aseel alotaibi the first mcfly concert i went to he was wearing a hogwarts shirt, and for me who is obssesed with harry potter, it was everything

Loved the Mr Tumble intro haha sang along too! 😄
I have never been so disappointed in someone as I am with you right now for mentioning performing with the boy but not what you said about a McFly tour :(
I still love you though ;) :P
-smellycatone xx
+SmellyCats when/where did he talk about a mcflytour? :O
+letsHugElefanten on 'tonight at the London palladium', it was on TV on Wednesday but there are loads of videos on Twitter!
SmellyCats thank you!
It's really nice to watch your vlogs. It's so good to see a real person sharing his life, which makes me feel connected to you. Thank you!
Finally you mention the performance you and Danny did but I like how you didn't talk about the "McFly tour" you invited the boy to, all in good time Tom because I know sometime you and the rest of McFly will announce this tour to everyone :)
I think they haven't announced it yet because of busted tour??? Idk
Elizabeth Cochran Yeah I think they will let Busted have their time first, that's why I think McFly will be back near end of the year
***** I really doubt it'll McBusted seen as Busted are back touring as Busted. McFly will defiantly be back and have their moment to shine again
***** I can, it's not going to be easy though because the way the whole McBusted thing played out they lost a lot of fans, it's feels like there is not many left at moment
***** I know right?! I'll never forget the Keep Calm Play Louder tour that was the start of Album 6 coming but then it all got changed and ever since well it's just been a long waiting game for album 6, but I am sure it will be worth this long wait.

+Bea Campos omg lol had no idea mcfly was even happening.. wow I'm really not with it!
tom talking about Buzz and how emotional he was about the situation, that made me emotional too. so cute and adorable.
Haha my son (8 months old) isn't a fan of me tumble but danced to your intro so many times.. I had to keep replaying lol

panic attack at 12am and this is calming me down Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou
+midge socks Thumbs up to the calming down not the panic attack I hasten to add -)have a good weekend
Tom you should make a Bookcase haul showing what books you own
I miss toms old vlogs when he used to vlog his day!
+Alex❤ me too but I'm sure he's pretty busy with buddy and everything
It's probably because he's Snackered #dadlife
omg I'm like that too! as soon as I get home, I put on my pyjamas! they're the best pieces of clothes ever 😝
Pajamas/comfy clothes are the best! I'm all about being fancy/cute when I go to work, but, when I get home ... "Hello, comfy pants." Tom, thank you for making me not feel like a weirdo! 🙂🙃🙂🙃

My photo albums just riddled with dank memes
I cried as i walked out of the nursery door when i dropped my daughter off to nursery the first day, other mums were looking at me like i was a weirdo. So you're lucky that you held it together till you were alone aha x
Love this and fantastic makaton which I guess you have been learning it from mr tumble. Great song making up bet it makes it a lot calmer when your changing them bet buzz tries and sings with you xx
I 100% understand what you mean about your comfy clothes! I only get dressed if I leave the house!😂 also your shirt is amazing!!!
You're trying so hard to avoid talking about McFly. It's not working Tom! hahaha
Tom, you should definitely make a video on song writing!
+ruth teeling i made a video where he wrote a song really quickly! that was cool!
I love how much you tried not to overly smile when you talked about McFly...
Just when you forget about mr tumble... He pops up somehow! Thanks for that Tom😹
I love your glasses! Nice to see colors! :) A lot of people just have the more boring ones.. But these, and the other ones you wear, is such a nice + on your appearance :)
I can imagine you writing a musical, like a Mary Poppins kind of musical.
Tom u are something special . makaton rocks. my boys had speech and language problems and Mr tumble helped them to talk.
It's when you find yourself singing Mr Tumble in the car... When the kids aren't with you... You've been parented!
tom is such an awkward cinnamon roll that's too precious for this world...
i'm going to die of cuteness overload! (////^-^////)
Hello mr tumble 😂
OMG, I'm in love with your Hogwarts shirt
I am SO glad I'm not the only one who gets straight into comfies as soon as I get in 😂 #parenting
I LOVE YOUR SONGS , and also I HAVE THE SAME HOGWARTS T-shirt !!!! 😆
I love your videos Tom! After watching them I'm not really sure why but I feel like we are friends!
And I feel really sad because I can't come to any of your shows in June because of my silly A Level exams :( I'm actually gutted :(
But thank you for making me laugh and smile and occasionally cry every week when I watch your latest video! :)
I love a goal, but not as much as sitting on the sofa in my pj's! lol
Excited to hear about the tour news!!
G'Day from Down Under Tom!
Looking forward to The Christmasaurus and to reading it to my nephews!
My photography essay for uni was about how photographs are misleading!
My parents took me to Disney on Ice too :) it's so amazing!
i am exactly the same tom!! with the pj thing ive been out all weekend saw disney on ice last night! it was amazing :) pjs and disney ftw :)
Lovely bit of Mr Tumble there at the beginning 😂
aw I can't believe Buzz is big enough to go to nursery!
I love your vlogs so much!!!
disposable pun made me laugh way too much hahaha
You have literally just discussed what I am writing about for my assignments! Don't think my lecturer will view RUclips as a reputable source though! I agree, social media does paint a false image of perfection which I think can really affect self esteem! X
알아듣기위해 열심히 영어공부할게요ㅋㅋ목소리 너무 좋아요
This is so cute! Hello Tom!😂
thank you for bringing up the goals thing!
Goals, Life Goals, etc seem like a new or recent thing on social. I do see it a lot. I know what you mean about the photo album. My daughter, 5 years, was skating towards my other daughter, 9 yrs, and as a typical papa, my man was taking a video when our little one fell. She cried so much until we deleted the video! She is an awesome skater and has an image to protect!
HOGWARTS SHIRT THO 😂😍 Tom what Hogwart's House are you in!? Omg huhu
I like what you say about the social media stuff, so true!! Your Mickey Mouse boxers are cool btw 🙊
I do the clothes thing all the time, I even do it between classes. The minute I step into my apartment, I put on my pajamas.
I think its pretty obvious Tom that you've tried playing all your instruments at once. you must have!.and if not go do it, its amazing! I did it with my guitar and piano, hard but hilariously enjoyable!
I sang along to all of the beginning and I'm not even sorry
Hi Tom! Love the intro song! Do I see some sign language in there too? :) Love the Hogwarts t-shirt. Actually do share the nappy songs, because I'm changing careers and going into childcare and I need to know how to improvise songs! hahaha Maybe I'll sing Mcfly songs too. Congrats to Buzz, I'm sure he'll make friends easily.
Great point about social media!
when will be mention mcfly tour😐😐💕💕
Love your shirt ☺️
i loved your bookcase.
I don't know if you thought about it but if you're vlogging sat down then you don't need to put jeans on. You could keep the comfy pants on
OMG I love your t-shirt. Is beautiful.
i work in a nursery so that song at the start i hear more than i hear my own name haha xx
Aaah I feel like that song is my life! Forever using Mr Tumblr for bribery or to avoid major meltdowns!!
What Tom??? What do you mean you are not "brilliant" at any instruments!?? You are amazing!
love watching your videos, its the best way to relax from my revision :) quick question - are Mcfly going on tour this year or in the near future? x
Last week I thought you were just being really accurate with who you were that week xD
how often do you see that show.... drives me mad lol mingling words? I usually do that after a 12 hour shift as a carer. flannels and towels become tannels and flowels and numerous other stuff
is your new tour gonna be recorded for DVD
Trust me Tom, my mind thinks it's a great idea to remember the bad times xx
i did that all along with you... thanks to my 3 year old nephew..
What camera/editing software do you use for your videos? Aspiring vlogger asking!! Want to find the best way to do it before I start ☺️ so excited for your book to come out!!! ❤️
We're twinning with your shirt!!!
My nephew sings something special and does the actions😂❤️
Fabulous vlog love your videos
Mr tumble❤️❤️
aww the Mr Tumble song - I only know it because of my nephew :D
I always just see your harry potter shelf and then i saw your top...
Is it bad that I recognised the song before he even started fully singing it?
no 😂- i subconsciously sang along and knew all the lyrics.. i feel really sad now
Bonjour! from Belgium :)
Mentioned Chris Hoy, but didn't have his picture at the end. Missed a trick there Tom!
Got to love a bit of Justin Flecture lol
Hello. I'm new here. Could any of you tell what his channel about please? :-)
As a psychology undergrad, Tom, our memory actually doesn't favour the positive in some senses! There is what we call recall bias but this can be positive or negative. Also, the mechanisms in our amygdala and other parts of the temporal lobe (emotion) sometimes ensure we remember the bad things (hence PTSD etc). Thought this might be of interest!
I was like that when my god daughter started nursery for the first time I will properly no wait defiantly be like that when she start primary school for the first time this august they really don't stay babies for long =)x
Did anyone else just now realise how many books are in the background
Do you ever write songs that you think are going to be amazing and then realise that is was a really bad idea?
I know you probably will never see this comment but I really wish the tour was in Cardiff as me and my friend really want to come but we live in Wales and are only 14 and can't travel to Birmingham (the closest venue to our town however it is still 3 1/2 hours away) Hope you read this
I love your Hogwarts top where did you get it from
