About Dude Dad:
Hi! I'm Taylor Calmus, a Colorado-based actor/comedian. I started Dude Dad© two weeks before my son Theo was born as a way to stay creative while learning to be a father. My wife Heidi and I now have 3 kids and over 300+ videos. My purpose for the channel is to entertain, enlighten and inspire.
In addition to Dude Dad©, I have been in numerous TV shows, commercials, and have regular appearances on Jimmy Kimmel Live. I will also be hosting my own TV show called "Super Dad" on the new Magnolia Network / Discovery+. Heidi and the kids will also be a part of the show. I am originally from the rural community of Howard, South Dakota.

I'm convinced Taylor makes these solely to make Heidi laugh. It's so cute. 💕 Congrats guys!!! I know I couldn't do it. 😉 😂😂
I remember saying to a fellow preschool mom, “How do you handle 4”. Her response was, “The same way you handle 3, one at a time”. That really resonated with me. She was right, I only put on one pair of shoes at a time, make one sandwich at a time, bath one child at a time, etc. Basically, you just do it.
And by the time you get to 4, the 1st is older and helpful. My 2 oldest can buckle the youngest 2. Everyone puts on their own shoes. Everyone can make faces at the baby to keep her happy a minute or two longer.
When we hit 3 I really felt the "economy of scale". 1 was hard. 2 was hard. 3 suddenly got easy. 4 is a cake walk.
@@JD-hi8qx we are at 8, it's definitely gotten harder again. There were different transitions that were easier and ones that were harder. I found our 4th was pretty hard personally. Then the 6th, but that was probably because of ppd.
My mother in law had 10 children and she says that 3 was the hardest number. Once she had 4, my husband (her oldest) was old enough to be helpful. He is amazing with kids because he always helped her keep his siblings in line hahaha. So from 4 kids onward, she always had older kids to help out with the younger kids. But with 3 littles it was much harder.
I love that. Moms with many kids end up being wells of wisdom. My friend has six and she says clever things like that.
Mostly true I have ate some we double up in the bath and things like that but for the most part you’re right just wanted to time take it one day at a time at some point you end up with his old enough to help with little kids and pull their weight and chores 😂
I have been pregnant 6 times in 6 years. My husband got tired of people making not-so-nice jokes so after a while when people would say "Y'all know how that happens right?" he would respond "Yeah! And obviously we thoroughly enjoy it!" Most people got very uncomfortable and kinda just walked off or changed the subject. Some people at church would turn beet red! I didn't really like him saying it, but his thought was "If they are gunna bring it up, then they shouldn't get so uncomfortable when I give them an honest response!"
Another one he could try is "I've got no idea could you give me a demonstration?" 🤣🤣
This is my comeback 10000% of the time and people don’t know how to handle it! I love it!! We just had #4 and all are girls under the age of 4!
I had 6 children out of 9 pregnancies I understand. I was at the store with 5 of my children and a woman ask me if I had a daycare as she looked at me in a ( i can't believe she has 5 children face) when we got home my 4 year said " There are too many of us" I wanted to hunt that woman down! I told my daughter there are not too many of us. After that I ask( "Are you supporting me??) All my children went to college and have good jobs
I had 6 also it was easy
I prefer. Yes, and obviously we're good at it!😄😄😄
I had eight; it is fantastic! Honestly, four is easier than 3. Three is crazy because the first two are all still in "their" phase and demand attention as if they were only children. The third is always the chill one, but a baby needs all the diapers, nursing, etc.
But number 4, wow, what a difference. The first two suddenly become far more self-sufficient, sometimes even helpful.
You know that saying "with three you are outnumbered?" It totally goes away with four. That happens because they themselves divide into smaller groups of two and align against each other.😄 Really, they become MORE manageable because they, as children, can never all agree on one thing, leaving you, once again, in charge.
Yes! Came to say 4 is easier than 3! You’ll be just fine. The older 2 will (eventually) be so helpful!! So true what gallery st Clair said.
This is so nice to know 😊 I’ve found it so hard having three!
So true! I just had #7 (well, 6 months ago) and our oldest is 14, and this baby is SOOOOOO loved; I don't know what she's going to do when her fan club is back in school in a week. I can even shower in peace because there are responsible, loving arms waiting to hold her. Life just gets better the more you have because the loves grows exponentially!
@@mrsbetsyarchibald Amen! So true.
Yes! Isn't it wild how almost every "big" family thinks that 3 is the hardest? Currently expecting #6 here
Heidi. . I love it! "I know we're crazy BUT it's going to be FUN!!" YES MAMMA!
Crazy is my middle name
Yes Mamma!! 17, 14, 12 and 6! All girls and the sparkle and love in their Mamma and Daddy's hearts!! 💖💖💖💖
I think it's a beautiful thing. Children are blessings and every pregnancy needs to be celebrated.
We are about to have #5. I didn't even bother announcing outside of our immediate family. Everything you guys characterized is true but a PG version. I love it.
We had 5 kids. After # 3 I got less “how exciting!” and more”y’all know what causes that don’t ya?” lol
We wanted 2 kids really close together so just before our sons 1st birthday we told everyone we were having a 2nd baby and even THEN people said “you know what causes it don’t ya?” Like I’m an idiot 😒
@@TheNerdistheWord And you can raise them to love and support each other and help them grow into lifelong friends. : ) I know people are just trying to be funny, don't let it get to you, your children are a blessing to this world and SO ARE YOU!
Oh I’m very happy we had them so close. If only they were even closer in age 🤣
We have so many friends with 6+ kids! I think it’s awesome-for them.
They are temperamentally suited; I realized early on that with 2 special needs kids, I was maxed out.
We have 4. Our oldest is 6.
"Do you know what causes that?"
My husband says they're just jealous 🤣 My favorite is "you've got your hands full" best response is " yes but so many hands are empty so I feel blessed" infertility is a sad epidemic. Everyone knows someone who is trying or can't have children. People feel ashamed pretty quick at that.
People in general should probably just shut up about others choices re: how many children, whether none --> 20!
And along those same lines, for the love of pizza, don't ask adoptees if they don't wanna find their "real" parents. Personal choices around kiddos is just that - PERSONAL. If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all! In fact, even if *you* think it's nice, don't comment anyway!
Yes! Thank you! My husband and I have infertility and we have one living child that is adopted and we couldn't feel more blessed!
@@pfettig88
Congrats! May you and your family be very happy together for many years! My brother just called tonight, returning my call from last week on his b.day. We are both adopted, & both still miss our parents like crazy... mom's been gone 12 yrs now; dad for 6 😪 But we had a wonderful, loving home & growing up. They supported us always!
"Yeah we know what causes that... We're getting pretty good at it!" 🤣
I'm hella jealous I wants me some babies! Lol I never have an issue with people having babies unless they actually can't afford or handle them. I know someone thatd complain constantly about their kids but kept popping them out. That's when you ask you know how they are made right? A few complaints are fine but when you are always a miserable person with kids its ridiculous.
Children are precious. So happy for you! I’m from a family of 16!
Omg! 16 siblings?? I come from 12 cousins and we all live in the same town and most people think that's a lot!
@@swimfast724 yup. There are like 40 cousins and twice that in second cousins ! I have tons of nieces/nephews and great nieces/nephews.
That's impressive! Were some of them twins? Or were they all born really close together? (Not trying to be nosey, just curious)
@@faolan2174 yes 2 sets of fraternal twins. Boy girl and 2 boys.
@@bigjohn08865 I’m glad to be alive with my own children and grandchildren snd a great grandson. I’m enjoying life so up yours asshole
When we announced our fourth pregnancy my bitter sister in law sent me financial stats for how much it costs to raise a child…. As if we didn’t know after the first three?! 🤣😂
Honestly, the saddest thing about our fourth child is people seemed much less willing to celebrate with us.
No one made special trips to meet our daughter after she was born… they either just didn’t or grouped her in with something else.
The biggest thing I had to remember was that it was OUR JOY and no one else mattered!
Congrats on joining the mommy of four club, not only will your house be full, but also your heart!
Wow your sister in law is bitter and mean! Did she think she would have to pay for your baby's expenses? I can't stand people
Yikes on the SIL. I'll be sure to celebrate when my neighbors bring home their fourth little bundle of joy! The first three are so beautiful, I can't imagine the fourth won't just bring a ton of magic to our humble neighborhood, too.
This is one auntie that would have definitely come for the fourth or the tenth.
Although I would have probably already been there babysitting the others.
🎉🎉🎉🎉
Oh my goodness that’s awful!
We just had #4, our sweet surprise blessing, in the spring after a long hiatus (11.5 years!) so we have teens and a 5 month old! She has been such a gift to our whole family. We all adore her so much. We have gotten so many of these comments. It really made me conscious of what I say to others now that we’ve tasted how thoughtless people are with their words. Enjoy this sweet blessing!
We had #5 in May right when our oldest graduated high school. A huge surprise & blessing. He is adored!
So true! We experienced infertility.
When are you gonna have a baby?
When are you gonna get married?
When are you gonna have another baby?
When are you going to buy a house?
You have all boys? Don’t you wish you had a girl?
…. My experience has taught me why talking about the weather is the way to go.
I love Heidi’s laugh! What’s sad is I have one of each character in my family. Congratulations to you both and your kiddos. Any kid is lucky to have you as parents.
I agree, you’re kids are blessed to have you two as parents!
Mother of 5 married children, grandmother to 15 here sending you a big Congratulations! Good for you guys for being willing to bring more children into the world. I'm so proud of you and wish people would keep their discouraging comments to themselves. You two are amazing parents. I really enjoy your videos.
I had someone in the grocery store ask me if we owned a tv. I said, "Yes, but if you think tv is better than sex, you're doing it wrong." She gasped and said she was single. I replied, "Well, you better watch tv then!" My kids were not with me. The checker just recognized me because I was buying 7 gallons of milk and she introduced me as a mom with 7 kids (at the time).
I used that line on someone who told me we needed a TV, and they had no response 🤣
"Of course we have a TV. What do you think is keeping the kids entertained during mommy-daddy-time?"
@@autumnjerene 🤣
@@autumnjerene 🤣💯
🤣
I'm expecting #8 (the others are ages 14-2.5), and we've heard it all. 😅 Esp since we were married young (20), so we don't look "old enough." Whenever people ask why we've had so many, I just tell them that my children are amazing and the world needs more people like them. 😊
Our third is our only boy, so we've also had lots of comments (mostly sympathy) that we have 7 daughters. I just like to tell them that we were aiming for 7 brides for 7 brothers. 😄
How sweet! God bless you and your family 😘
I love that answer! I’m going to use that!
High five 🙌
6 bio and 4 adopted, im pretty sure ive heard it all too. People are never as funny or clever as they think with this.
Not gonna lie, my first reaction when I learned Heidi was pregnant was "Guess she doesn't have a headache as often as Taylor claims". Lol Seriously though, congrats to you both. You're great parents. Heidi needs to make a video with all the reactions from family or friends video and have it include the "I couldn't do it" line.
Haha, this is so true. I have 4 and we've officially entered "crazy land" by everyone else's standards. It's sad that there's been so much negative stuff out there convincing people to have fewer and fewer kids. It is crazy hard but, like many other things in life, doing the hard thing is the best thing. So happy for you guys!
Exactly! Remember back in the day when 4 was a small number? My dad's from 8 as is my step mom. I have had so many people, mostly men, see me with my 4 kids and ask if we think we'll have more because THEY are from double digits and people just don't have kids like they used to and what blessings they are etc. We need way more positivity in this world for people who choose to have bigger families. THE CRAZY LOOKS NEED TO STOP! There's nothing wrong with it! When you make cute wonderful babies, why stop at 1 or 2? Lol
I'm pregnant with #7. When people think they're funny and ask if we know what causes that I just look confused and say "no! How?!" They give the most awkward chuckle and walk away. It's the best. My husband usually responds "sex" and we get the same awkward chuckle and walk away.
I had my daughter around the time Heidi had Otto, and now I'm pregnant with #4 around the same time as you Heidi! Keep the videos coming because they keep me laughing! ❤️
Need to add The Cryer! That's me, big long hugs and ugly crying. Man, I sure do need to hear when there is good things happening to friends and family. Lifts my soul.
Love that you are excited about number 4! Big families are the best. I have 6 kids myself and I am from a family of 6. The best part of big families is the relationships between cousins (built in best friends) my kids have 28 cousins and family gatherings are wild. Love the video and your content.
That sounds like so much fun! It is great to have built-in best friends!
My dad has 28 cousins as well but everyone fights no one gets along or really likes eachother. It's sad. It's great to have a big family but only if you have lots of love and communication that goes with it! My dad's an ass 😅
Congrats guys! Hope Heidi is doing good with the baby!
Baby bean is growing great and Heidi is doin well. She's a pro!
@@DudeDad any names y'all are thinking of?
@@seanA416 something O🤣😂😁🤣
Congrats to you both! Children are a gift. Having a happy marriage with an active love life is a gift and nothing to be ashamed of. I love how you both embrace parenting. You find the joy and funny in it and share it with the world. Looking forward to your next video!!!!!
You guys will do just fine! Back in our grandparents' time, it was common to have like 10+ kids. At least 3 of my grandparents came from families with 10 to 15 kids, and they had way fewer conveniences back then. Ignore the naysayers and keep it up! I've got 2 kids but now that they're older, 11 and 9, I wish I'd had more. I think you guys will not regret your decision to have more. Congratulations!!
I always forget that. It's very strange that most American's have fewer than two kids when throughout history family practically meant tribe and clan. All people are related, every person is directly related to a single ancestor by fewer than 4,500 years. Even modern scientists act so amazed that they can trace all blue-eyed people are from one ancestor by just a few thousand years according to their genetics. Why does this amaze them? Every culture around the world has the same written history of being a descendant from family that escaped a worldwide flood fewer than 6,000 years ago. Be it China's three sons, the epic of Gilgamesh, Hindue's Manu, or the Bible of all Jews, Muslims, and Christians we all write that we are one family and modern genetics prove it. We need to remember whole nations grew out of families.
@@SRose-vp6ew I love your comment! so so so true :)
They had 10-15 kids because there was no reliable birth control, many children didn’t make it to adulthood, and not everyone could afford hired help.
Pregnant with #5. I live in a more liberal area so I feel a little judged, but I don’t care. My kids are super sweet and so fun. They are going to make the world a better place ❤
Taylor as a goth is just EVERYTHING!!! ROFL Also, I'd like to add that I think it's absolutely wonderful that you're growing your family & not listening to anyone but yourselves. I always wanted a house full of children.....we're talking like 10, mostly boys! lol Sadly, I could only birth one, but I became THAT neighborhood mom where ALL the kids hung out, spent the night, etc. Now I'm a granny & working on helping to raise the next generation. I believe with every fiber of my being that GOD's 2 greatest gifts to us is 1)His Son, Jesus, Who died for my sins & rose again, & 2)Children. Their laughter, their trust, their faith, seeing the world through their eyes..... yep, now I'm crying. Y'all enjoy every moment & keep those babies coming. 😀
Hello 👋 how’re you doing?
My grandma wanted a lot, had only one. Now she has 7 grands, many grand in laws, and 16 great grands! Love that you became the neighborhood mom!
I believe this too! Thank you for saying such awesomeness!! ❤
I wanted more babies too, but only had one and I am so grateful to God that I had this one. Children are so precious.
They call that "emo" now. How times change.
On behalf of all of us who have to put up with the gross guys and their ridiculous, terrible, inappropriate and weirdly personal "jokes" THANK YOU FOR MAKING FUN OF THEM!!! Seriously, this needs to be a recurring character because you hit the sweet spot of parody! Absolutely rolling with laughter over here! Major kudos to both you and Heidi for putting up with all the inappropriate comments. Y'all have a BEAUTIFUL family and I am SO happy for y'all!! ❤️❤️
The, "I can give you information on natural family planning", and "do you understand how it works" mentalities are also applied to couples who are having fertility issues and haven't been able to get pregnant. My husband and I have been married almost 10 years and don't have kids yet. The amount of people who say things like that just shocks me. "Um... we've been married nearly 10 years. He's 40. I'm 36. Do you really think we don't know what sex is or how it works???" It's so insulting to assume that a couple isn't getting pregnant because they are too naive to know how it works. If that were the case, no babies would ever be conceived by inexperienced preteens and teens who don't fully know how it works. And yet.... they manage to figure it out well enough to accidentally procreate when they are still children themselves. We definitely know how it works. Why can't people just be happy for other families when they have another child or even when they are married for a while and don't have kids, but have a very warm and loving relationship? As long as the family is healthy and happy, that's all that matters.
My husband and I conceived once and it ended in miscarriage at 19 weeks. 7 years and multiple infertility diagnosis later we still haven't gotten pregnant again. We adopted our son and couldn't be happier. When I was in counseling my therapist asked me to live as if my husband and I were it, us two were our family. No expectations of children, just my husband and I living our best lives and honestly it was the best month of our marriage! Infertility feels like an island sometimes.
Miss Heidi, speaking from a former corrections officers perspective …don’t you be afraid to set your boundaries! Tell people that they’re out of line when they say inappropriate things or touch you in a way that is not ok with you- and be firm. You are also showing your children how to respond to these things too! And that could protect them later on in life.
I’m one of those folks who has STOUT boundaries. I go as far as to even encourage it with other peoples pets. For example: when I see a dog parent in the park/store and stop to ask to “chat” with the dog, if the dog doesn’t want to come near me, and the parent pushes it, I tell the parent not to because the dog deserves to have its own boundaries as well. If it doesn’t want to come close, then leave it be.
It’s important to establish boundaries now, so children will understand that it’s OK to do it too.
The same goes for family members who insist on getting a hug or kiss when they see them. If a child doesn’t want one, wise not to force the issue. When they’re ready, they will give a hug. Generally there’s a reason they don’t want to and it’s important for parents to back their play when they are establishing their own boundaries. One just never knows. and the child will come around if, or when, they want to. And if they don’t, then that’s their boundary. We’d be wise to respect it.
Love all your videos and your family is wonderful. I'm a Baby Boomer born in 1950 and the oldest of 9 - youngest sister was born in 1965. Five boys and four girls. Dad told us he always wanted a baseball team. He was a Barber and Mom stayed home to raise us. Attended the local Catholic school and our parents always got us what we needed. There were hard times, but we always remember and laugh about the the good times and hilarious things that we put our parents through. And we still love being with each other to this day. My siblings gave me 19 (10/9) nieces and nephews, and they gave us 36 (20/16) great-nieces and great-nephews. The best is always yet to come. Congratulations.
When you are at the store with five kids, complete strangers will stop and ask if the are "all yours" when you say yes, you get just about the same range of reactions. If they find out I also homeschool them all independently, wow, the range of reactions is even crazier! But my fav reaction of all time when I was prego with my #4, was when a good friend of mine looked at me with a huge hug and said, "welcome to the 4 or more club" lol! So I say to y'all! Welcome to the four or more club! It's crazy, insane, and totally awesome!! 💞💞
Even better when they ask if they all have the same dad. NOT
@@preppingmama yes! Lol, I get that one a LOT!
Homeschool mom of 4 here! My mom homeschooled all 5 of us and then we were a foster family too so we were the family in the 15 passenger van 😂
How do you homeschool them? Do they do online schooling? If so which one? I want to homeschool my son next year so I'm trying to figure out how that works.
Homeschooling and pregnant with number 6, and oh is this accurate!!
As someone who has 4 kids, I have heard it all as well. Congratulations! Our fourth brought so much laughter and love into our house. May your fourth do the same.
"There's something about pregnancy that allows people to say things they wouldn't normally say". Amen Taylor and I've only had one. For some reason people think it gives them an excuse to be gross and creepy. Literally made me feel violated sometimes and made me embarrassed to leave the house when I was pregnant.
I left a long comment that I/we got about our fourth and a wonderful response from an octogenarian. It is something I will always remember and cherish! We also got, "How on earth are you going to afford four children?" And we would reply, " Don't worry, we aren't going to ask for donations." After a while we were just done. Our sone and his wife have five. When we were asked what they were going to do with five, I said, "Well, I guess they will love her like they love the other four. After all, love multiplies." They shut up.
I love that answer. We're going to love them just like the others.
I love that! And especially love the answer, love multipliesss!!
My friend has twins and got so sick of people commenting “double trouble!” To her whenever she was out and about with them as babies. One day she stopped and replied with “no, double the love”.
Love this! We definitely noticed a change in the reactions after 3.
I remember very pregnant shopping with my toddler boy, and was chatting with a young cashier. Told her we were having a girl. She said, “Oh, that’s so cute, everyone wants a boy and a girl”.
My reply, “yeah, we did that, a boy and a girl, then two boys and now another girl”. Deer in the headlights, I think is the best way to describe her reaction. 😂
Mom of 6, (another boy after that story) Just doing my part to help with the looming underpopulation crisis.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
LOVE Heidi's reaction videos! I have a hometown friend with a large family because he and his wife miscarried once a long time ago and they made the decision to forego birth control and have as many kids as God gives them. Wishing you a safe pregnancy and long, healthy, happy, prosperous life for your family. Love you guys to bits!
"Everyone's fine with 3" sadly, not in my experience. I had a boy and a girl as my first two. Complete strangers constantly stopped me at the store to tell me that my family was now "complete" 🙃 Here I am hoping for #5 soon 🥰
I got told that too, especially cause I had boy girl twins, well 8 years later and we got baby number 4 on the way😅
I'm a nurse and my first was a boy and I was pregnant with my second. When my patients would ask what I was having and I said girl they would always say "oh good you can be done now."
I now have 7 kids. 4 boys and 3 girls
I get this all the time and I hate it!! We've always planned on having more but for some reason it just hasn't happened. I can't stand that. Everyone thinks the perfect family is one boy and one girl. Perfect family is whatever you are happy having and can handle and take good care of!
Yep, I also got told after first 2 "that's all God made" so that's all I "needed" - we have 5.
My mom says she got this all the time too and was on the fence about having another. Thank God for that hole in her diaphragm or I wouldn’t be here. TMI, maybe 🤷♀️
I remember having 3 boys and so many people asking when we were going to try for a girl. Congratulations and enjoy every stage! We adopted two girls after giving birth to three boys.
Congrats on the new pregnancy I'm so excited for you I hope its a speedy and health pregnancy
I worked with the geriatric population for 8 years. The one thing that brought almost all of them joy was kids and their grandkids. They didn't talk about their career or how they wished they didn't have kids. So when I was debating career or family I asked myself if I would regret not having kids as an older person. The answer was yes, I would regret not having a family. I'm expecting my 3rd in November 😁I love these kids so much ❤️❤️❤️
What empathic, intelligent people should be asking is this...
Can we meet a child's dependency needs right now?
If we have one child, can we meet BOTH children's dependency needs?
Then if you have 2-3 kids, can we truly meet all these young children's dependency needs.
You see, they are called dependency NEEDS for a reason: they are NEEDS that must be met if children are to have a healthy, fully developed and functioning brain.
Most people who have even 1 child have NO IDEA what dependency needs are, or how to meet them, or WHY they need to be met.
You see, it's not about YOU or what you want. It is can you provide for a child and meet ALL THEIR DEPENDENCY NEEDS. Then you can start thinking about how they will help your narcissistic fantasies in your geriatric years.
Sheesh, you should NEVER have kids to meet YOUR NEEDS. smh
...and you think it's okay to post this narcissistic crap? smh
@@le_th_ what an empty, cold, academic, narrow minded, first-world, “doomsayer” way to think about this. Hardly anyone is ever ready for children. We populate the world because we understand the beautiful blessing and honor it is to have children and raise them. It’s not any more narcissistic than ants procreating for the good of the colony, or bears for the sake of having cubs. The fact is, in general, we love our children better than any animal could love their offspring. Is family planning important? Of course, but if that was all that was considered, no one would have children but the richest of the rich. The human race would’ve died off LONG ago with that mindset.
As for dependency needs, which are: love, affection, shelter, protection, security, food, and warmth; to claim that “most people” with even one child cannot provide that (assuming you’re referring to the developed world, because third world country citizens can’t be preached to online) proves you don’t even pay attention to society around you and would rather spew your superiority complex over how someone chooses to live their life. Most children here have ALL their dependency needs met. And even out of those that don’t, there are plenty who look fondly on their upbringing, have fulfilling adult lives of their own, and know how to thrive and rise above adversity because of it. Life is more than what a child development textbook tells you.
If you’re speaking to the issue of the uncared-for children that come into this world, yes, they matter, and need homes that provide those needs. But we need to step up and DO rather than just talking the talk and virtue signaling for them online. As a foster/adoptive mom, I can speak to that. That’s why as humans its important to be a part of a loving and diverse community of people. And to reach out when we see a need. Even the well-off people who can say “Yes, I can provide for my child’s needs” cannot raise children all alone. A loving community/family matters more at the end of the day. But simply berating and philosophizing on a youtube comment section isn’t what truly empathetic and intelligent people do.
Well, I know which character in the video YOU are.....Jeeze. What emotionally mature and responsible people ACTUALLY do is rise to whatever challenge is given to them. We've been trained in the modern era to expect every decision to be rigidly planned and executed (and then the products of unplanned actions disposed of, sadly). Most people throughout history have had kids unplanned. It wasn't really a question of "are we ready, and can we meet their dependency needs (a term NO ONE uses outside of the internet). They just....had kids...then raised them. You think your response was so wise, but actually it just made you look like the narcissistic idiot.
People can be so rude. Do they not realize some couples WANT a big family? My friend had 7-all C-sections. They wanted that beautiful family!
Awesome! I've had five C-sections.
I rolled laughing!! When I saw the video. I can't think of anyone better to have lots of kids than you two! Your whole channel is about celebrating kids and parenting and bringing laughter into our lives! Bringing more people like that into the world is definitely what the world needs!! ❤
I'm really looking forward to the pregnancy parodies. ☺ You two are made for eachother.
Good for you guys!! Im on baby #9, due in 3 weeks!! I could make a MOVIE about the reactions/comments I get!! I love it!
So happy for you guys, keep up the good work!
Congratulations!!
People are so ready to judge people about the number of children they have, they forget that every one has their own choice in the matter.
We have 5, the oldest was 16 when we had our youngest, watching the bond between older siblings and a new baby is awesome and wonderful to watch!!
My youngest of 7 is 21, oldest 2 are 41 and 42, the others are sprinkled through the other years. I didn't bond very well with my oldest daughter until my 2nd and third daughter's were born when she was in high school. The walls between us broke down as she chose to help care For and love on our new family members. My eldest son also opened up more and became more expressive with his caring and loving emotions. Highly recommended spreading children out over years for a well balanced family.
@@PatricesProjects you also get to experience all of the children's phases at once, teenagers, school children and diapers !! :)
Excited for you guys!!! More the merrier!! We had five, but lost one. They are all loved, wanted and enjoyed!!! ❤️
Lol!! Love her reactions!
I get the, "you do know how that happens right?" A lot! And "you have your hands full." "Another one! Your just a machine. Popping babies out!"
One lady came up to me in costco. We were waiting for samples. Because why not. "These 4 kids yours? Honey you need to stop." "Excuse me?" You really need to stop. You have too many" "oh really. Well guess what I am pregnant again, and I love my kids and take care of them." Two awesome women heard this. And came up to me. Looked at that awful woman and said. "Honey, your kids are so well behaved. You are doing great. I can't believe some people are so rude! How dare they tell you how to run your family. You obviously take are of your kids." It was so awesome! That lady scurried away with her tail between her legs.
It's funny when I only have two with me and I get the, "wow your hands are full." Their shocked faces when I tell them how many I have, makes it worth going to the store.
I have 6 now. No one makes remarks when I am out with all of them. They probably think I'm crazy and they don't want to tick me off. Lol!
We have 5 and I’ve heard all of that too. Once I got “you know it’s a vagina and not a clown car”. We wanted them and can afford them and take care of them. They are well behaved and I’m lucky to be able to stay home with them.
I have 5 and got those comments all the time, too! When I was first pregnant with #5 and filling a prescription for Progesterone, the pharmacy employee said "don't you know what causes that by now?" I thought that was so inappropriate coming from someone handling medicine. I once had someone ask if they all had the same father! That was a strange one. They do, but why is that anyone's business? I also think it's funny when I would be out with just some of them and people would say I had my hands full. This is nothing! Most of them are at home! LOL Now my kids are big. Three of them are adults and the youngest is 14. I miss when they were little, though...
That's how I feel. I wanted all my kids! The worst is when someone says something negative around my kids.
I have six, and I also get the your hands are full comment when I only have a couple out with me. Cracks me up every time!
I also got the you have your hands full! The most horrible one was “I bet they don’t all have the same father!” Inside the grocery store of course. Rotten woman, they should learn to keep their mouth shut if they don’t have anything nice to say.
Congratulations to all the awesome parents having more babies! Keep making babies!! 🥰
You don’t judge a family by the number of people, you judge it by the amount of love. From what I’m seeing, your off to a great start.
Congrats! I’m the second of seven and I cannot count how many times people have felt like giving their opinion on that. Every time I hear “overpopulation “ as a reason not to have kids, it makes me want to go out and have a dozen. I ended up with one that I’m in the process of adopting (so far!), one sibling has 4 kids, 2 others have 2 kids and the rest have none. I used to look at 4 kids as a very small family, lol. It’s a challenge, but kids are definitely a Blessing from God.
I am TTC #5. I have had over a dozen miscarriages in the last 16 yrs, including twins. I was told I could never have kids, so I am overjoyed whenever a baby sticks. People don't like it. I don't care. I LOVE my kids.
And this was SO ACCURATE! Also, I am now campaigning for my husband to get doula certified. Lol!
5 will be our last, as I am at a very high risk for several reproductive cancers. I'm getting a hysterectomy following the birth.
Congrats on number 4! Children are the only thing we can take with us to heaven ✨ they truly are a blessing! 💞
That is the nicest comment I have ever read, and SO true. I’m pregnant with our 5th and get rude comments all the time. I am forever going to use your comment, now, for when I congratulate others. Yes! Children are the only thing we can take with us to heaven! What a blessing they are! ❤️
I really don't recommend taking your kids to heaven with you. Better to let them live out their lives first and die naturally on their own.
aww that's such a beautiful comment 🥲💗💗
Very true.
Your comment is precious
Congratulations! I’m so happy for you two!
I have a confession… I’ve made some really inappropriate comments in the past which I regret.
Looking back, I was simply jealous.
I think now… I’m more like the cheerleader character.
Congratulations you guys! I loved watching all the videos that came out last time Heidi was pregnant, it was especially fun because I was also pregnant. And now we’re trying to have another one also, so it’s fun to know we’re not the only ones who have kids close together and are having a lot( we have 8). Plus why wouldn’t you have more kids when you can give so much love and goodness to God’s children. So happy for you guys it really doesn’t get much crazier than three, once you have three you might as well keep going.
Love this ❤️, it's such an adventure! MY 4th (9,💙, rainbow baby also 🌈) was watching this with me and commented, "They'll be okay, 4 kids isn't too hard." (And then my fifth came over at that moment and wiped a face full of banana on the couch. You can't make this stuff up 😂🤦)
🤣🤣
It’s impossible to make it up!! Just when you think you’ve seen it all… the 2 year old fills the toaster oven with toothpicks and raw eggs. 😂
Congrats guys. The video was hilarious. Mom of 4 here and its wonderful, challenging, exhausting, but truly wonderful.
You should do a character on the parents who already have alot of kids and can relate to the chaos 🤣 🍻
need more Heidi reaction videos... Taylor... You got a good one She is priceless! 🤣
I can never decide if I like the original video or Heidi’s reaction better. Congratulations on your pregnancy!
I have 5 kids and can totally relate! Congratulations Heidi and Taylor! I’m excited for you as you welcome this new precious little one!!!
Thought I was done after 3 because my husband was sick but I remarried a few years later. After my Husband passed away and here we are with 6.
I was in a food line with an elderly woman at a friend's funeral celebration and she asked me how many I had and I was expecting the usual reactions and she shocked me by saying that I needed to have one more because 7 was God's number.
I like her attitude.
We have 8 children ranging from age 14 - 3. So, yeah. We have experienced all of these types of people too. Many times. In fact, one we heard a lot was, "You know how that happens, right?!"
Thankfully, not everyone is a turd. Children are a blessing. If God gives them to you He will work out all the details to provide for them and keep them safe. You are blessed.... no matter what anyone else tells you.
Good for you!!! :) I pray they all end up nice kids! My family has 8 children ages 16-30 and so far, so good. We are all taking a family vacation together next month and everyone is happy to go stay in the same house together for 2 weeks. We even have a future-fiancé traveling over from Germany to join us for part of the time. We love our big family!
Congratulations!! The world needs more ‘crazy’ humans. I’m the oldest of six, love every one of my siblings.
Love these videos. We got the book for our first baby and love reading it every week. As expecting first time parents all we get are horror stories!!! People love terrorizing new parents with everything that could go wrong or all the negative experiences they are Sure we are going to see along the way. It got so bad that we actually had to stop talking to certain people because they were speaking so many negative things into our lives.
Congratulations to y’all! A family to love is a blessing!
Congratulations on your pregnancy! I’m confused why anyone is judging the size of your family? We live in a place where judgment can be ignored. 😊
We got 7…. Kids….. heard all of these more than a few times…. The looks we get every time we go out 😳😂🤣😂🤣
Here are of a couple of thoughts: 1. do a hashtag for #NFP, 2. As a mom, to six kiddos this video makes me so happy. My husband always told people we are doing our part for Social Security!
I have a niece named Katie Burke. Great name!
You, two, are totally precious. God bless you!🙏♥️👍
I don’t have any kids but these videos are too funny for me to resist 😂 Congratulations you two 🎉
Congratulations guys we have been trying for our 4th and I can imagine the reactions you guys are getting as it must be close to the ones I have gotten when I say that I want another one.
Congrats y'all 🎉 I'm currently pregnant with #5. We thought we were done at 4 but turns out we're bad at that natural family planning stuff 😂
You're good at the NFP stuff. But you didn't feel like waiting when the thermometer was slow to get to "OK now" temperature.
You're young. You're a strong family. This is what ppl do ...or used to do. Happy for you guys! ❤️
Nah, don't worry. I live in Spain, and all of my mother's siblings (she's got 6) have at least 7 kids. We are 4 and are considered a low number in our circles. And, yeah. we ain't crazy religious AND we understand birth control, go figure!
It was hilarious to watch her laughing but then watching him laughing seeing her laugh...😅😂so funny and cute!
Absolutely hilarious! Congratulations you two! Always wished for a big family but only was lucky to have one. I'm fortunate to now have a bonus kid (step daughter)! Your comment about siblings growing up and experiencing the world together is so on target! CONGRATULATIONS!
I lost a child 7 years ago and it has been a struggle but I haven’t let it stop me from having more. I just found out I’m pregnant with baby number 5! So yes I will have 4 kiddos running around and I’m excited! So happy for both of you❤️
I loved this video! Hubby and I have big plans for a large family. It makes me sad when people ask if we're done with two. When I say we're hoping for 6, they don't even know how to respond. I love your channel, your sweet little family, and how you can make fun of all the negativity ❤️
Go for it six is great if you’ve got a couple down the more you have the more love more crazy but also the more love. We have 8 and I love life so much with my big family.
Taylor is a genius comedian ! Absolutely brilliant !
So excited for you guys! I have to say I love Heidi's laugh and her support and I also love Taylor's face seeing that he is making her laugh. You can definitely see the love between them!
Yes! definitely the reason I could watch their reaction videos all day
Dude dad needs to be a stand up comedian. My husband and I would go see him. We love y’all’s family! Thank you for posting. ❤
We had four kids in 5.5 years and it has been the hardest, yet most fulfilling thing I have ever done in my life. It is always loud and the chaos is legit. However my kids always have somebody to play with. When they ask to have a play date with one of their friends and I’m exhausted and can’t imagine doing one more thing, I tell them,“ I gave birth to all of your play dates, go find one of them“. Blessings to your family.
🤣 all this, but x10 ‘cause it’s our 5th.
Kids are so fun. Enjoy, y’all!
We found out we were pregnant with our 4th (not planned at all) when our 3rd was 5 months old. I cried almost the entire pregnancy thinking about having 4 and 2 under a year apart. But we wouldn't change a thing!
Our 4th and youngest is now 11! You have made an excellent decision. Congratulations!
YES!!! Randos think they can touch your stomach when you’re pregnant!!! I luckily didn’t have to deal with that too much while I was pregnant bc it was hard to tell, but even people I know who would ask annoyed me sometimes. Now in PA ITS misdemeanor harassment to touch a pregnant woman without consent.
Good to know. Ppl r so dumb to think they can touch a woman just bc she is I'm a vulnerable state (pregnant ) .
“Wow, are you trying to build a football team?” (We have six kids) Me: “Nope, I’m building an army...where’s yours?”
You’re so right about the way peoples reactions change after #3. With #4&5 we got so many rude comments. We didn’t even tell family for a while because we didn’t want to deal with the negativity. Children are a blessing, hard yes, but a blessing. This video was hilarious and congratulations on baby #4!
Congrats! Wishing Mama Dude Dad a healthy, joyful pregnancy!! Sending you guys lots of love
Currently expecting our second in January, our first will be one in December. LOTS of comments about how we can’t stay off each other. 🙄🙄 amazing to me how people just open their mouth and say whatever comes to mind lmao. 🤦🏻♀️ Congratulations y’all!!
I'm 3rd of 6 kids, (everyone else but me has only max 2 years between them) and it's perfectly manageable. After the first two, you tend to just go full parent mode, and don't realize what happened until the last one starts school. After that you actually have time to reset and the olders tend to be old enough to baby sit.
YES!! Carbs in the first trimester for the win!! I couldn’t stomach anything else.
I've referred to having a boy and a girl as a "starter pack". That shuts people up right away.
You guys are the greatest ever, What a fabulous relationship! Best wishes for the rest of your lives
I am a Mom with 4 and I can't tell you how much these videos are healing my heart. So awesome. I am definitely a cheerleader though.
I love you guys! I literally tell every parent I know to watch you bc you’re both SO hilarious!
My husband and I have 4 kids as well, it’s not as hard as everyone thinks. Congrats you two!! ♥️
Baby #4 due Christmas day here!! Everything about this video resonates! I even had someone say to me, "I was wondering what was taking so long this time..." my other three are 4, 3, and 1.5
I hope baby 4 safely arrived by now and all are well!
Heidi's reactions are always awesome, LOL.
Congrats to you guys...I'm kinda jealous. My 'baby' brother has 4 and decided that was enough. I always dreamed of 2-3. We've only got one so far, and I'm getting Baby Fever for #2 before I hit my 40s. Just need to get this dang sciatica sorted out...
Was sciatica unbearable during pregnancy? I have it and am deathly afraid of being in terrible pain. Also have fibromyalgia so I’m worried about pregnancy smh
I wish you the best! Hopefully physical therapy helps or something ?
@@bubblegumprincessTo both of you with the sciatica - ask your doctor to send you to a PHYSIATRIST. That specialty can help you with sciatica.
It's pronounced FIZZ-EYE'-AH-TRIST
@@Joy21090 Interestingly enough, the sciatica is gone...and.... well... ;)
@@TheClumsyJedi Glad to read your good news.
“ you don’t have headaches as much as you say” 😂😂
As a first time pregnant person on here who's looking forward to having the big family I've always wanted. The comment section here is really comforting. I hope you all know that. Bless you all and Heidi.💖
Congratulations to you both!!!!! You are an amazing and talented couple and great parents ....4 kids..four times the joy...4 times the laughter..and 4 times the hugs...I'm so happy for all of you...
kelly....where were you
