I like how Sam always gives the other family members the chance to have their own interpretation of events. It’s a weirdly rare characteristic for people to be able to realize that experience is subjective (edited, my bad, lol)
My husband was never allowed to snack or grab food freely as a kid either. They were very poor growing up. Now he is constantly snacking and wants the house extremely well stocked. Even if he isn't hungry he grabs a snack. When I ask him why he just says "because I can" 🤦😂😂😂
Hahaha yes!!!!
I’m really enjoying your channel, Sam tells it all in such a compassionate way and without any bitterness which is so refreshing
Thank you so much
@@GrowingUpinPolygamy you are very welcome
I agree.. I really appreciate that.
Respect to Sam. Giving respect to family you receive it in return.
When I moved away from my parents house, the first night in my apartment I turned on all the lights, turned the air conditioner all the way up and opened the front door. I then called my parents and told them. My father understood and appreciated the humor ( I get my smartass humor from him :) ) My mom, not so much. She didn't appreciate it. Dad and I had a good laugh. And then I turned off all the lights, turned down the air con. and closed the door.
(Melissa Responding) Hahaha when I first moved out I called my Mom & Dad and said, "did you know that ketchup doesn't automatically come in refrigerators?!" I thought I was pretty funny and my parents laughed pretty hard. haha =)
Yesss😂 i walk to the fridge, open the door just to stare inside a lot. Most of the time I don't even eat anything or want to.. it's just out of boredom and habit
So glad I am not alone! haha
Same!!
We do it because every time you open the door, your standards go down…
All. The. Time. 😂
@@DarkbutNotsinister lol! So true 👍
My grown boys still open the fridge or the pantry when they come home for a visit.
Sounds like in your family at least your childhood was pretty fun it's nice to watch a video about growing up in the flds that isn't about abuse! It just shows that your experience growing up there very much depands on your family. Thanks for the video♥️
I had a very fun childhood! Yes, family is everything and makes all the difference. Thank you so much for watching!
My partner grew up not eating on the weekend as the family had run out of food. As an adult he opens the kitchen cupboards and fridge to look for food all the time. I call it 'opening doors'. He feels very uncomfortable when there is not readily prepared food there for him.
So sorry they had to go through that. It definitely makes a lasting impact.
I always open the fridge everytime I walk into the kitchen
I wasn't permitted to zoom about in the home either. Some of the rules sound fairly normal for people who grew up when I did. I was born in 1964. I love hearing your stories by the by. Thank you.
Typically, when you walk into a kitchen and go to food sources, its indicative of one or several things.
1. You're hungry.
2. You were deprived of food in your formative years.
3. Your body is crying out for specific nutrients and you are subconsciously filling or trying to fulfill them.
4. You have a place inside you that needs filled. Many people use food to try to fill that wound/emptiness unconsciously.
5. You're bored. I'm a boredom snacker and I was a boredom smoker many years ago. Find something else to fill that space. (Jumping Jack's lol)
I rarely go to the frig when I walk into the kitchen...unless I'm hungry or my body wants "something ".
Sam tells stories & I picture the old Our Gang/Little Rascals acting them out.
I was so excited to see another video! Thank you.
As far as the refrigerator deal, I grew up with kids that weren't allowed to just go eat whenever they wanted. My family didn't have that kind of rule, unless it was right before (30 minutes or less) dinner. I have always opened the fridge door and stared aimlessly though. Lol My hubs grew up very poor, with a lot of children (he was the youngest of 10). When a treat (ice cream, candy, etc.) is brought into the house, he eats it in one sitting. 😳 I think it stems back to his childhood (stories he's shared) when he had to eat all he wanted (and could get lol) at once. Maybe not, but it sure makes sense. On Christmas, I stuff his stocking plum full of candy and he eats until his heart is content. 💜
That is so sweet that you fill his stocking like that. Being married to a spouse that understands WHY we do the things we do and supports us is the best! =)
I don’t snack at all, but the first thing me and my siblings do when we walk into our parents house, is go straight to the fridge. And if there isn’t anything in there that we fancy, we go to the biscuit tin or for a packet of crisps. Whether we’re hungry or not. Sometimes we just look, lol. And growing up, we were never allowed to take any food at all without asking, and if we did ask, the answer was usually a no. We were told it would spoil dinner or tea, whatever meal was next.
I grew up in an adverage household, and we had some similar rules... We were not allowed to laugh loud either,.... Everything had to be a whisper unless it was a conversation with my parents. No snacking either... They didn't keep much in the house to snack on, but if you did get caught, it was bad.
So interesting to see that others had similar experiences. Thank you for sharing!
I love how much love you still have for all your family out there. I hope you get to reconnect with them in some way where you just get to eat a meal with your mom.
I hope so too!
I can imagine that you also weren't allowed to read any books you like.
Did the town have their own library with "approved" books or was there no time to read for pleasure anyway?
I remember secretly reading some of my older sisters books that my mom thought were not appropriate for my age. I felt like such a rebel 😂
The only books you could read was books written by the church, one time my sister and I borrowed a book from our neighbor who wasn't in the church and let a friend borrow it and when our friend got caught with it we were in big trouble
I absolutely can not imagine having to be quiet while laughing. I love to laugh. Laughter is so healing and feels so good! Laughter is joy! 💕
I couldn’t either! I cackle! (I inherited it from my mom 😂)
Older people seem to just not like loud noise, my granddad would be loud with us but sometimes if we were being to loud after about 6/7pm he would come in our room and in the most steady stern voice say to us to quiet down. He was stern but he was quite fun and he taught me to play my first real pc game and he would let us drive his work truck around construction sites on his lap.
I love hearing about Mother Mildred!
🤣🤣 My brother does the fridge thing, even when he comes to my house and does the same at my mums too... He rarely actually has anything from in the fridge just automatically opens it, looks and closes it again.. Its become a family joke!! Really enjoying your videos, learning loads and find your previous way of life really interesting to hear about, its great to see the good humour between the two of you aswell.. Thank you.. From Yorkshire, UK
Haha glad to hear I'm not the only one! Thank you so much for watching!
Hiding your music reminds me of my husband saying that as an Amish teen in the 70s, he managed to get his hands on a radio. He would hide it under his pillow so he could listen to baseball games as quietly as he could hear it so he wouldn't get caught. (A radio is a big no no for the Amish) He said the first pair of regular store bought jeans he bought his Mother hid them from him. The Amish kids learn to be very sneaky. LoL
@Kathy Yoder If you don't mind me asking,which Amish community was your husband raised In? I grew up for the first 8 years of my life in Akron,OH and we were close to Hartville,OH where they had really delicious baked goods at the Thanksgiving and then Christmas holidays. I also discovered,as a teenager,my love for them in Holmes County,OH,the largest community of Amish and Mennonites in the world(at least in the early 2000's when I visited them). On my Mother's side I have some Amish or Mennonite relatives from my 3rd Great Grandmother backwards. On my Dad's side,they were definitely German with last names like Kinder and Hoffman,maybe some Amish or Mennonite heritage there,too. Sorry for me rambling. Hope you are safe and well.
@@shenamason5822 We are from Nappanee Indiana which is a large Amish/Mennonite community. My husband grew up being the Bishop's eldest son. My Grandpa grew up Amish and my other grandparents were Mennonite.
My Mom had that rule no going into the kitchen and just snacking we had 5 kids in my family. Now we could ask for like an Apple or an orange the best was a piece of bread, I don't remember being told no unless it was close to dinner.
I do that with the fridge, cupboard, etc. I do blame it on deprivation. 8 children in our family and not enough food a lot.
I have a large family! The kids are all teens/ young adults. It's highly possible they have formed a coup! The idea of a couple of other moms around here does not seem so bad right now! Ha we are outnumbered! Your stories seem kind of familiar and funny!
I am just like him regarding snacks... I cannot go by the refrigerator without eating something or opening it to check if I feel like eating something haha
I bet you both are fantastic parents. So calm and easy going. I love your videos so interesting.
Thank you so much!
Yes, we all do that...me and my hubby both look in the frig.or the cabinets for food all the time...
I grew up in st. George little valley area before all the homes were built. I love how you said the Mountain were your backyard i can relate to that, my little sister and I would always be playing on the hills by our house we were devastated when the homes were built. but that was such a fun childhood playing with the rocks and catching lizards.
Yes, getting to be outdoors so much was such a great thing growing up!
I totally remember the book in the pants! My dad got very mad about that and I got spanked with a belt after that, but my dad got my back instead. That was the last spanking I ever got because he was so upset for leaving marks on me. I'm glad to see that the FLDS community has stories that are not so nightmarish as the media puts out. I know, as someone who is LDS, that there are a lot of misconceptions and rumors going about.
Yah, unfortunately there were a lot of nightmarish situations out there, but I was lucky enough to not be a child that had to go through them. I am happy to just share my experiences as they happened to me. =)
I LOVE to hear you guys laugh!!!! Beautiful!
My husband (and kids) will snack even while I’m cooking dinner.
I had the same snacking rule as a kid and I do the same thing now as an adult lol. My fiancé does the same, although I think he does more of the blank staring whereas I know what's there and go straight for the snack.
(Melissa Answering) Yes! Since I buy the snacks I know what I am looking for hahaha. Every day I go shopping Sam gets excited that there might be new snacks in the house hahaha =)
I just can't wait for the next videos
My 56 year old son when he comes to visit still opens my refrigerator and cupboards!
😂
I'm new hear and I love you guys already, so wholesome
With so many children you just forget the rule breaking after a few minutes because something else will come up lol
Exactly what I needed today! Love all your videos!!
Thank you so much!
Excited to see another video! I just found you guys and have been watching all of your videos. Love how you tell stories and educate us on your upbringing.
Welcome! Thank you so much for watching! We are so glad you are enjoying our videos! =)
You two are absolutely ADORABLE. The cuteness !
I'm curious what scripture was the reason for the no loud laughter rule? I know 1 Peter 3:4, but that's not referring to laughter. I recall reading in Proverbs not to greet loudly in the morning. Laughter is a very healthy emotional response and stress reliever. So many scriptures about joy, laughter and a merry heart, does good like medicine.
I love God's Word. It's so important to read and know what it sayes for ourselves. Thank you for sharing
I will look up the exact scripture, but it wasn't from the Bible. I believe it was from one of the early prophets of the LDS and FLDS religion. They believe that what the prophets say is also considered their scripture, and so sometimes I say scripture when I am actually meaning words from their prophets.
My husband grew up with not a lot of food and sometimes went without food so as an adult he can’t have the pantry or freezer not packed! He always buys too much food he likes to do the grocery shopping. I understand but I want to do pantry or freezer challenge and he can’t do it! I’m we don’t need to buy food but he can’t help himself. We were fine when COVID first hit didn’t need to go to the store!!
(Melissa Answering) Sam loves when he comes home and there is a lot of snack options to choose from after a fresh Costco run haha. =) It is so cool though that your husband came from feeling hunger as a child to being in a position to always keep the fridge full. Whether you want it that way or not haha ;)
Nice to see your subscriber count growing!!🌟 We had 5 kids in our family, we had a similar rule with regards to snacking purely just incase we ate something that was planned for a meal.
That makes perfect sense. And thank you! We are overwhelmed with how much we have been growing and are sooo grateful for all the love and support.
Your stories are always so entertaining. You guys are great storytellers.
Glad you enjoy them! Thank you!
First off - Sam and Melissa - you guys are awesome. Thank you for opening up your life to the world of RUclips! It’s been fascinating learning about FLDS, but even better is witnessing the curiosity, thoughtfulness, and respect you guys bring in every discussion. I came for the intriguing Growing Up In Polygamy RUclips recommendation... and stayed for you two 😊
I have soooo many questions for you. But no pressure at all to answer (I swear I find new things to add to this list after every video) but it’d be really interesting to understand your perspectives.
1. Has having children of your own changed how you feel or think about polygamy and FLDS in retrospect? I know you mentioned in a different video that you wanted to be present and attentive to your children in a way since that was hard to come by in your own upbringing. I’m curious too, if and how your concept of being a parent has evolved since having your own children vs. what you witnessed growing up/ what you thought a mother or father should be/do.
2. FLDS and LDS both seem to create a strong sense of community and belonging. I assume you guys still live in Utah(?) where there’s a considerable mormon community. Since leaving the church, how have your social circles or communities changed? Do you feel your kids will miss out on the same type of social/community closeness you both had growing up within organized religion?
3. What kind of impact do you feel the reassigning of mothers and children for reasons aside from death of the father had on those impacted/the broader community? (eg. punishing the father). IMO it seems to strengthen the loyalty to the faith & the larger community (via fear maybe?) over familial/blood lines. From someone with 0 experience growing up in polygamy, it seems to be an especially cruel punishment that could cause a lot of psychological damage but wondering what you felt or witnessed.
4. These questions are just writing themselves at this point! What do you think will happen to the FLDS after Jeffs’ passes? I’ve read some stuff around FLDSers scattering around more since Jeffs’ imprisonment / more ex members of the church coming back to live in that area. Do you feel like it’ll be closed off for much longer?
Thank you both, again. I’m amazed at all the new things I’m continually learning from y’all!
Thank you so much for such kind words! They mean so much to us! And we are so grateful that you found us and decided to stay! =) These are amazing questions! I am going to put them on our list of videos to make, so stay tuned! =)
As soon as you guys post a video I watch it right away. I’m always so excited to see the videos you guys post. I love watching ALL of your videos. It’s so nice to hear that your families experience out there was so different compared to others. You guys were not abused and really had a good childhood compared to so many others. Hillary Duff oh my gosh your so cute! 😂 lol you guys are the best
Thanks for all your love and support Jennifer! We always look forward to your sweet comments!
@@GrowingUpinPolygamy your welcome
Just found your channel. My son is 13 and would live in the fridge or pantry, if he could.. Lots of snacking.
I'm absolutely loving your channel and connection together as husband and wife. Also, yes my husband always goes to the fridge and opens it for no reason. I think it's a guy/husband thing! 😂
Is it possible to make a video about the dieet in the FLDS or your family? I assume there is no coffee, tea or alcohol in there. Just like the LDS church. But besides that, food for a family that size, for some reason I think it's different than with a "standard sized". Was it maybe like some standard meals? Or a lot of the same ingredients?
Herbal tea was probably fine.
They drank coffee and tea but not alcohol
You both have suuuuch nice teeth 👌
Thanks again for another great video! I've never had the notifications turned on for any other channel; you guys are literally my first and only. Love this channel so much and you guys are just great 🤩
And also the most beautiful complexions - not a blemish. Please share your secrets.
Thank you so much! You are too sweet!
Yay. I subscribed this week and am addicted haha. One question: what was the average size of a family? how many wives/kids?
He said 4 wives, 35 kids mostly boys
Welcome!!! We are so happy you found us! @Lora is right on with my family. The average number of wives varies, but since there is no birth control the women had as many children as their bodies were able to, which seemed to be around 10 give or take.
Definitely not big snackers - my hubby and I! So funny.
Oh you both make me smile so so much😆😁😀😃😄thank you🥰 love listening to you!!!!!🌻🌈☀️
Thank you soooo much! We appreciate you watching!
So interesting! I love your videos!! What illicit DVDs did you have?
All I can remember watching for sure is every movie ever made with Hilary Duff lol :)
Hi! I just watched the last video you did. I grew up Pentecostal and lived on an In time farm for a lot of my youth. (I am 55 now). I know how hard my struggle was getting away from that doctrine. I cannot imagine how you did it. Just to know Jesus loves you no matter who or where you are is deliverance in itself. You both are so sweet. Keep this up:)
Thank you so much!
For all the pain you’ve inevitably been through, you’re sure showing incredible strength! ❤️
Thank you so much!
Would you consider making a video talking about when people are sent away to repent and what that looks like, how the rest of family left behind deal with it, did this happen before Warren went to prison or did it start after, etc. In the documentaries and books I've read about the FLDS this seems to be a common practice but I'm curious about it from Sam's experience.
We are definitely going to be doing a video on this, possibly with another sibling that was there when it happened within my own family. Thank you for the great questions!
Omg, the snacking! My husband is the WORST. Like, you have to work them into the weekly/monthly budget lol although I will say I started making homemade snacks years ago to help save money and obviously they are healthier and he doesn't care as long as he can just grab it and eat it lol we have 4 kids and so far just 1 of them is a snacker (we will wait to see what tiny baby will become lol)
(Melissa) Haha I am so glad to hear it's not just Sam! He started going to the gym more this year too and now I had to up our food budget for snacks too! hahaha
My husband totally does the refrigerator thing!!! He sometimes gets a snack, sometimes not and he will just stare like Sam lol!!! So funny!!
(Melissa Responding) So glad to hear it's not just my husband! haha =)
LOL! Often i walk into the kitchen and completely forget why i'm there, but usually if i open the fridge it's because i forgot what was in there or i'm checking for cheese! That's so funny that you love to snack now - I guess it's time for Sam to learn how to cook some good meals so that when he opens the fridge he can gather ideas!! :) Sorry, i guess i'm assuming Sam doesn't cook :P
(Melissa Responding) Sam is a great kitchen "assistant" ;) He can do whatever I ask of him while we cook, but his adventures in the fridge are definitely to gather snacks more than "ideas" hahaha =)
I just love listening to your stories. I’m sure have mentioned it but do your kids get to see your mom and dad? Thanks for sharing!
He said no but they have met his father, and never his mother
Thanks 😊
I would have to say that some rules like no running in the house are good rules to have. It would be crazy to not be able to watch movies, TV shows, and sports on the TV at any time. Also crazy to not be able to just go on the internet and read and look up and watch things. I feel like I could do it if I really had to like if my internet or power went down at my ranch house. I would probably just do even more things outside than I already would. Sometimes it is nice to just get away from technology, internet, and social media.
You guys were so bad! Omg running away and hiding lol.
Lol right?! =)
💜💜💜💜💜💜from Oklahoma
When you were living in the FLDS community were you at all taught about politics or world events and things of that nature? Did the group seem to back a certain political party, or were they completely separated from the secular world? Thank you so much for making these videos, it has sparked a huge interest in religious studies and sociology in me and you all seem like the kindest people ever :)
We were taught about some political and world events, but I think I heard more of that because my father was the mayor. We definitely did not have a solid understanding of politics and never voted outside of community positions.
Hi! I have been binge watching your videos. I have a question. When Warren Jeffs split up families, you said your father was removed. Did another man come into the household and is there a possibility of your father coming back?
When my father was removed, my oldest full blooded brother became the head of the household. I have no idea if there is a possibility of my father getting to move back, sadly.
We could snack, but if we stood with the fridge open without purpose, we were in trouble for that.
I have a question about serving a mission - if you are volunteering how do you support yourself while you are doing the mission? I read that the families will help some but how can they with such a large family to support and how were you able to do it when you were on your own?
I know w LDS the teen saves for a couple years before going on the mission.
The mission I served was for the LDS church, which I joined after leaving the FLDS. For an LDS mission you pay 10k to go on the mission and then the church uses that money to pay for your flights, housing and gives you a monthly food allowance. The family that helped me when I left helped pay for my mission as well as other donations from other LDS members in my ward (congregation).
I am curious did women have to be married in FLDS. For example if a woman became a widower did she had to get married or was she allow to live with her son?
I don't know all the details behind why some widows were remarried and others weren't, but it was not required to be married after the death of a husband.
I always snack because with 1 brother and 4 sisters (1 mon 1 dad), if you didn't eat it it would be gone in a few minutes.
I 💜 Tim McGraw! Ever heard of CLAY WALKER OR JOHN MICHAEL Montgomery?
We couldn't eat food at home except at meal times which I suspect was a traditional rule for a lot of families in the US and UK (may be when people were thinner!). My children cannot believe that one and other than avoiding sweets/sugar we certainly did not have that one.
No running/too much noise is probably essential with 20 or 30 people in a house.
It's sad they made the rule not to snack because most people get hungry between meals.
If DVD players were contraband, how did you obtain the player and movies without your parents finding out in the first place?
What did the 👶 tree say to the mama tree? Gee I'm a tree(GEOMETRY!)
Both my Husband and Son have always stood there with the fridge open. I have also asked them, "You do know, I'm making dinner here and it's almost ready?" I know many of my male cousins do the same. I just always thought it's a guy thing.
So glad in many respects u ran
What was the first thing you did when you “officially” left?
Our video coming out on Friday will actually answer this question.
Oh my gosh..... You kids were a handful! I can not imagine trying to parent all those kids.
I can't either!!!! haha
I’m curious about health issues, like affording medicine, eye exams, dental procedures, etc.
I’m assuming many of the kids were on Medicaid since their moms were legally “single” parents.
Also, how do families deal with disabled or special needs children who require specific education, therapy, equipment, etc.
I imagine that a lot of them were on Medicaid, but I honestly don't know a whole lot about that. We didn't get a whole lot of medical attention unless it was an emergency.
My father's first wife actually taught at a special needs school out there for children with disabilities.
Yes omg, my husband opens the fridge and looks in there every single time! Even if we literally just ate.
(Melissa Answering) So glad it's not just mine! haha =)
Or the worst, right before you're going to eat lol
I am 67 and call it Adulting....do what ever you want on your own terms...😂 Eat what you want..Buy what you want...Sleep when you want...Talking to whomever you want 😂
I remembered there were a lot rules. But I never used music bez I’m deaf. :)
Oh, you are from out there as well?! You have been with us on this RUclips channel from the beginning! We appreciate you so much for watching and supporting us!
What does Sam do as a job and do you Melissa work or a full time mum
I work as a Sales Rep for Sherwin Williams and Melissa stays at home with our little ones and also is a Pampered Chef Consultant from home.
I enjoy your videos. What did you call the mothers that weren't your mother. Did you call them all mother?
From his other videos I think it was Mother (first name) like his 4th Mother was Mother Mildred if I remember correctly.
@@haley2257 Thanks!! I must of missed that or in my old age forgot it.
Would they fix snacks for the children? Or, were you only allowed 3 meals per day and that was it?
We occasionally got pre planned snacks. =)
As someone with ADHD, Sam’s quirks resonate with me lol ( but i know you can’t diagnose someone through a 15 minute yt video)
Interesting
lol! you guys are soo freakin cute!
What happened to the wives if the after past away?
They would either live with older children or get remarried.
Yes my husband would come in and open the refrigerator both at home and st his Mothers lol
Were there ever any books you weren't supposed to read that you would sneak?
P.S. if I ever for sure knew I was going to be in trouble I would hide the wooden spoon!
I just saw somewhat of a similar question. If you are married and the husband passes away, what happens to the wife or wives and the children? How are they provided for? Does another man who already has wives and children take them in or are they placed with a new husband that maybe doesn't have a family already etc. You mentioned that men typically get married in their 20's and will marry a woman who is similar to his age so I can't imagine that an unmarried man would marry a woman that was already part of a of an already established family. For instance, your father had 4 wives and a lot of children. It didn't seem like the women worked and I guess took care of day to day things in the home. So would the boys in the family help to support the family until they got married? Even still after that, at some point all the children would end up married and then the wives would still be widowed. Sorry that is so long but I wasn't sure how to ask that without leaving anything out. I'm not sure if you know since you left at 18 too.
Great questions. When a woman becomes a widow she will either be taken care of by an older child that has a family or will be remarried into a family. My fourth mother was a widow who was much older than my father and had all adult children before becoming part of our family.
@@GrowingUpinPolygamy it's nice to know that older woman have a place to go and still be part of a family. I really love this channel. I find different religions fascinating. Although your family was strict, it still seemed like there was love and care there. I have been hearing really bad things recently that I was unaware of and watched an interview with Warren Jeffs 65th wife. It's also wonderful that you met someone who has a somewhat similar religion beliefs. They just don't seem as extreme. She grew up Mormon correct? Have you done a video of the differences between going to service when you were a child vs now? Sorry, that was long. Be well!
What movies did you watch on your secret DVD player?
Anything with Hillary Duff in it! haha
@@GrowingUpinPolygamy oh man, do I’m guessing you’re a fan of A Cinderella Story? Lol
I wasn't allowed to snack as a child and I also do this xx
Glad to know I'm not the only one! haha
It's so easy: If you don't like it loud, don't get kids.
When I was growing up the the flds I wasn't allowed to watch movies pierod
Yah, I was definitely breaking the rules by watching movies! You are from out there?! How long has it been since you left?
@@GrowingUpinPolygamy it's very complicated my family was told to move out of Colorado City AZ so they could put someone else in the house we were living in and after we moved my mom started letting us do things that my dad would definitely not approve of like watching movies and stuff like that and eventually she started letting us wear pants and shirt as long as my dad didn't find out, so I didn't ever officially leave the church because I still hang out with my cousins who are in the church. But my dad still believes everything that the church taught and it gets really annoying at times but I can't move out cause I'm not 18 yet.
It think opening the fridge for no reason and staring into it (hungry or not) is a guy thing. My husband and son do it all the time and they always have. I have no idea why and they don't either. Boredom? I never do that unless I'm checking to see if I need anything at the store or to find things I need to make a meal. I know what is in there for the most part.
(Melissa Responding) Glad to hear my husband isn't the only one!!! haha =)
The Blue Meanies say Rock and Roll is the Devil's music .
I do have a question how did you leave? And was it harder on the girls than the boys. Warren Jeff's married all these very young girls could their families protect them from being taken from these dirty old men?
They have covered most of this in previous videos. They're well worth the watch! In their last video, his sister tells how different it was for her, as opposed to the boys. Prepare to binge, because they're that interesting.
Fantastic questions! In the video description we have links to our FAQ videos that have covered most of those questions. =)
Lol my 40 yo son in law loves him some Taylor Swift !!
