Tell it girl! your kids probably get better grades missing school then kids that don't miss school at all, and the way these schools are now, they are not teaching about much education, they're teaching more about sexuality, on how to become a homosexual and lesbian and same sex marriage, the school system is literally forcing it upon kids now, that has nothing to do with education whatsoever, such as, math, science, English, history, geography ects., like whose child needs to hear and learn of that perverted teachings, learn of that, they will be the last generation of children, because two women can't create a baby and two men cannot birth a child. Same sex cannot procreate. So yeah, take your kids on vacation, however you please, as long as they don't fall behind on schoolwork/homework and keep their grades up, your kids can go on vacation as many times they want. Like you said anywhoo, next.
I understand why you’re upset with the comments about your trip, but pls realize you are in a really fortunate position to be able to take your kids on trips. I’m 14 and have never been on a family trip. Love your fam!!❤
This is how incredibly narcissistic and completely blind to the world around she is, it’s gross. As a child growing up I never went on one. And for a 14yr old you sound more mature then this so called mother
@@Laaibahsheriff ok ur commenting on a post a 14yr old made (that wasn’t even mean & was actually pretty mature) and ur being sh*tty? You are either a child urself or a miserable @ss adult. Leave her/him alone.
I can understand the kids needing mental health days. But have you considered Washington DC tour? The Grand Canyon? Yellowstone National Park? Etc… I can see how people think Disney is educational but do you guys talk about it and all the educational aspects? I’m taking my kids out for 2 days later this year for our first trip to Disney world. But I won’t make a habit of it. I want them to see other places as well. There are so many beautiful places to take them to. Maybe expand your horizons 😊
It was so cool to see the collaboration done with the video games and coming up with the rules together. They were attentive and understanding. Each one came up with an idea and bounced it around. The kiddos came up with strict plans for themselves too. Way to go Mom!
I don't know if this is to the comment I seen but I seen one asking how your kids' school allow you to take them out for trips without there being an issue. You could've been more nice about answering though. You made it sound like you're better because you can do this and do that with them while most people can't. I think it's awesome you can do that but at the same time it doesn't mean make people feel horrible for not being able to do that.

I took my 3 kids out of school to go to Disney for a whole week. They brought their homework for the week and did it in the evening. Worked out great (that was in the late '80s . Then in the late '90s we did it again. Worth every minute of it !!!!
I'm in the UK and also in the late 90s my parents would take us out of school for Disney over my birthday coz November wasn't as busy as the summer.

I take my kids out of school for random “mental health days”, kids , just like adults, get burned out and overwhelmed and I believe for their well being that it’s important to take time for them to relax . Life is hard for kids these days , they need breaks !
@@luna_raven681 I wasn’t talking about holiday breaks …. I’m talking about random breaks when MY KIDS need them through the school year besides holidays !

And that’s not why they have “school holidays” they have school holidays because it’s a national holiday , mandated .. it’s not a kids need a break let’s throw a holiday in.
@@shannonperez1984 I’m sorry what? Not all school holidays fall on national holidays. I’m not sure if it works the same way in the US but kids have school holidays on average every 6 weeks, doesn’t matter if it’s a national holiday or not. Kids shouldn’t need breaks more often then that. How is that in any way setting them up for life in the real world?
I wrote a “game time “ contract up with my kids. Just 3 simple rules, which they have to abide too. I also set a timer for an hour that gives a 30 min count down. It has worked well for me.

First of all I agree thats silly to say something about missing school but you explained that it's not hurting their school work or anything so it doesn't matter. But the part that is honestly carelessly to say is that someone is "jealous". You don't know that some people cannot AFFORD nice trips like that, maybe some people probably don't live in the same places you do, work the same "job" as you, nor even have access to the internet. Might or might not even have children, people are still hurting to stay in their homes or car working full time, or part time, depending on the system, can't work because of disability, people take some things for granted and you saying that she's jealous is so nasty and ugly for you to assume that. Yes some would LOVE to be able to do those amazing things for our kids but that's just not always the case. Please don't rub that in ones face. Shame on you. It's not a pleasing look.
She's not rubbing it in everyone's face she's specifically calling out the trolls and people intentionally posting hate comments for being jealous. People acting like brats and a**holes to strangers online doesn't deserve sympathy.

@@umisunderstood_ If you choose to post anonymous hate to strangers online you don’t deserve any sympathy and it’s obvious something’s wrong. They’re either jealous or just miserable human beings 🤷🏼♀️
I love that you are having this conversation with your boys cause I feel the same way with my 2 boys they are constantly on the games and its so frustrating for me
My question for all of this. Do you not receive a letter from the state saying your child has missed too much throughout the year?Because I know my parents received one once in Louisiana when I had missed just a few days of school. And then they would take my parents to court for missing too much school. I know every state is different but I’m honestly curious, not hating.
She mentioned they've only missed like 5.5 or 6.5 days. In Kansas you have to miss over 10 to be in risk of being truant and like 16 to actually be considered truant. I'm sure California is similar
I always say that adults can take days off of work so why can’t kids miss a few days. As long as parents can help keep them on track it’s not that big of a deal!
Well said Jesss. I can’t be doing with people that criticise parents decisions, I’m sorry but it has got nothing to do with anyone else what you do with your family ❤️
I think its more of the parents who get cps called on them for their kids missing too much school when they are literally sick but people taking vacations 8 times in the school year are all fine and dandy.
I took my kids out of public school for many reasons, but that being one as my son was always sick (from parents being too afraid to keep their kids home and sending them to school sick) and missing too many days.
There’s a difference between public schools and private schools. Hers are in a private school. And if you have a doctors note the absence doesn’t count
5:14 wow, such a brave girl Addie! Did I hear u say you would DEFINITLEY get one…😮 that would be so cool! Love your videos!! Also the cats and mango are so cute!! ❤❤
Eeek I get clapping back but don’t shame people for not being able to afford the trips you can go on ❤. I understand being frustrated and defending yourself but that’s so unnecessary.
People posting hate comments to strangers deserve no sympathy. And if someone can’t afford it but haven’t posted hate comments the remarks wasn’t aimed at them 🤷🏼♀️
Don't let the haters get to you about taking YOUR kids on trips. I wish growing up my parents had the money to take us on trips. I love watching your vlogs of the trips you take them on. It makes me happy that they get to have those core memories.
@@CarlieMaria28 My only trips during school were with my school lol. I was on marching band my junior and senior year of high school and we went to Disney my first year to perform and Boston my second year. In November 202 for Thanksgiving was our first official family vacation when we went to Florida for a week. And last year before I dropped out of college, my work study took me to Nashville for a week because I worked with high school students.
And your kids really appreciate the trips n have the most fun. Y'all work hard n play hard and None of your kids are even Slightly spoiled so you as a mom have good balance. Your family is Awesome. Hate the haters and LOVE what you said to them!
I did this with messy activity (I can’t handle it and my kids know this they usually experience it at school only) so over the holidays we made a plan and rules and when the rules were broken I followed through with the plan, it went well in the sense that there were no tantrums when I followed through
Thank you for this conversation being talked about regarding games. I feel the same way during the week no games. Isn't it crazy the change. But these guys are amazing negotiators. Sweetiest kids.
If I was able to travel as much as you guys I would love that. Its a blessing in itself. Your children will remember these trips for the rest of their lives❤
Ok make the rest of us feel great that we can barely survive, yet take our kids on vacations. Just frustrating that I also work my butt off but it doesn’t matter because clearly you make more
my mom had a business and we would be pulled out of school early either thursday or friday EVERY WEEKEND to go and sell her items out of state and i still graduated in 2020 with straight A's. TAKE THE KIDS TO SEE THINGS THAT THEY MIGHT ONLY SEE ONCE. I have so many memories with my mom on those weekends before she passed away in sep of last year, I am forever grateful that my parents let me go on the adventures with them.
@@introvertednotsoyoutuber6126 You are not them, your experience is not everyone else’s experience. So again, how can you know it’s not magical for them?
One thing you could try if they do have a full hour to play on their video game system s is set a timer so they know exactly how much time is left. This way they can choose to play a new round of the game or just start to wrap up the game. This way they can in their minds think about making the right choice and attitude.
Jess, I have always LOVED watching your videos but that rant was distasteful and insensitive. 1st of all, you wouldn’t be where you are without people watching your videos and growing your channel. 2nd, Not everyone has money to blow at Disney every month. I get you’re upset but you should have ignored it like you normally do. Also, When you’re a public figure then you’re gonna get criticized. Yeah you don’t owe explanations but if you don’t want to explain then don’t show it.
Growing up my parents took us out of school on Fridays almost every week until we were in high school. We’d work on our assignments with our parents on the ride to Mammoth and then ski for the weekend. We’d then turn in the work on Monday. The school never complained as we always completed the work and actually did better on tests and had a much more comprehensive understanding of the material because of the “homeschooling” we got on Fridays. A lot of their friends did the same with their kids, with the same result, and we all loved those weekends. It was so much more valuable, for so many reasons, than sitting in a classroom Friday afternoon thinking about nothing more than when we could get out of there and start the weekend.
“But since you care so much Jill…” 😂😂😂😂 Yassss momma!!! Tell ‘em! That whole rant made my damn week! I love it!!! I hear it when I take my kids to Disney too during school time!! I love doing 100th day with my kiddos!! I STILL can’t believe you like snakes. No thank you ma’am!!! And omg Kyson with his crop top 🤣 Love that kid and his personality!!
I'm assuming it's different for each kid- she said attitudes of the boys changed when they are on the games to long, so if Lilis doesn't, there's no need to limit if she can herself.
I am 12 years old. My brother and I go on trips during breaks. I only skip 3 days of school because we went to Great Wolf Lodge. And we never miss days. Literally, one day I was so sick(no fever) but I was still at school. Wearing a mask
Yes, they are your kids & it’s your choice what to do with them. However, you have to understand other parents questions and concerns. In my school system, for example, our students are only allowed 10 absences a year.. after that we start getting letters about our kids being held back or us parents going to court about it. So wondering how your able to do it IMO is a valid question. With that being said, people shouldn’t be leaving hateful comments bc it’s not their business & anyone who actually watches your channel knows how much you love your kids. Side note: yes, I’m a little jealous of all the trips you get to take 😅 I’m lucky to go on two trips a year to the beach for a few days lol. My hubby & I work alllll the time but still can’t manage to afford trips like that & will probably never be able to afford Disney trips. I am truly am glad you & your kids get to make all these amazing memories though. Keep on doing you Jesss. ❤️
Jess you shouldn’t have to explain about taking YOUR kids out of school. It’s not anyone else’s business. They are all clearly happy and doing well. Love your videos ❤
It’s nice you can take them out that much .. I wish we could !!! We get as parents actually in trouble if our kids miss over 5 days and don’t have a drs note
My little brother plays video games allllll dayyy! He wakes up in the morning and gets right on he doesn’t even do school!(im homeschooled) at one point we had to hide the controllers from him. It fr changes your attitude!
Speaking of how great Casetify’s cases are, so recently we had a power outage & I was using my phone as a flashlight to refill my wood stove. Well as I went to throw in a piece of wood, in went my cellphone too 😩 my phone survived!!!! Thankfully it was only coals in there but still. It could have been a total loss lol just the outer rubber pieces melted a tiny bit in some spots but the case itself survived, not a mark on the back piece at all🤦🏻♀️
Just a suggestion with the games. I think for a lot fo kids the frustration with a hard time limit is that they might be in the middle of a came and lose progress they've worked hard towards if they have to shut of right away. My son is only two but my husband and I realized this is what had happened with our now-adult step son, and have already talked about what we will probably do differently with our son when he is older. Depending on how long a game takes or how long it takes to get to a save point, he will get a "last game" warning or "at the next save point it is time to be done." That might mean his time is cut a little short or goes a little over, but will hopefully average around whatever limit we set, but he won't lose progress.
I really just want to point out how much you and your family have in common with me and mine, we both live in sacramento, I have 6 siblings so a total of 7 kids in my family!!, Lilia is the SAME age as me. One of the few things we dont have in common is that you go to Disney alot… ive been once.
Thank you for showing the game situation I have 4 kids with the same problem!! I have a love hate relationship with games and electronics I love seeing your take on this makes me feel normal lol that’s mom for the tips 💖
Totally agree with you that games are great to an extent. You are an amazing mom sitting down and explaining your thinking and concerns. I give you credit for limiting the game time and giving them a healthy mix of both.
Y’all have to realize just cause we are in the same country don’t mean everything runs the same California it self runs on it’s own beat anyways. Schools differ from state to state as far as the rules and it matters wether it’s a charter or private or even catholic they are not all the same state to state. School where I live you can’t miss 10 days in one school year or cps gets called so you never know what’s going on where someone is.
I can’t believe she would curse in front her little kid and that she was technically bragging to the people who wanna be mean but I’m just saying like if you argee
To be fair if they are close to finishing a level or winning in some way that could be part of the reason they don't want to get off when told if they tell you they are close to winning or almost done with something that they might have to start over from the beginning you could try telling them I'll give you 5 minutes and if you are still not done that's it imagine if someone told you to stop doing something immediately that you worked hard on and will have to start over from the beginning
Jess at this point you all might as well just homeschool your children 😅 You can supplement their education with virtual tutors or teachers, continue their extracurricular activities , and for more socialization you could join a homeschool pod/group.
as someone who played games as a child and still as an adult, give them notice before ending their game time, 20 mins or so and if theyre not finished, let them finish the game or get to a save point then end game time. some games cant be paused and it is so annoying when you get forced to quit mid game especially if they play anything in competitive mode (fortnite, online games etc) as you get penalized for leaving early and can be banned from the game!
People act like home study doesn't exist 😒 they have options for those who want/need to take a vacation and still continue to complete school work. Do your research before you judge people!
I don't want to be a party pooper, but just because the phones don't break visibly doesn't mean they don't get damaged inside..those phones are super sensitive.
Jess, yaaaassss! I 100% agree with you that the devices affect moods and attitudes - "sweet, lovable demons 🤣." We have device limitations in our house too. 👍
Family trips growing up were absolutely amazing. You can always make up the work. We always figured out how to miss the least amount of school possible and took any work with us to do in the evening. My brother is in middle school and we're about to take a 2 week trip and he's only missing 6 days. As long as we kept up grades and finished our work we got to go on AMAZING vacations and make great memories together. Don't listen to what others have to say, those experiences and memories will last your kids a lifetime and those few days your kids miss in school would be completely unmemorable. Ps y'all do realize schools teach to prepare you for tests now right? Like you memorize facts, test on them, and then forget all of the information to make room for the next test. Traveling and experiencing new things is going to be WAY more worth it to those kids js
Oh I just love this fam, I like everyone so much. ❤ There is just one thing in that video that I did not like. You say to the boys, you want to raise good humans but people who play video games all day, aren't they good humans? There are different reasons for people living like this, I had a time in my teenage times too, when games were the only fun I had. These games can also help kids to know what they want and like in life. I would always prefer understanding over judging any way of life.
The out of school comments could be a culture thing as well as jealousy. Here in the UK laws in place mean parents are actually fined if they take children on holiday in school time. It doesn’t matter if the child has 100% attendance up to that date and is a straight A student parents still receive the fine. However as holiday prices during school breaks is so much more expensive than booking the same holiday during term time, many still simply pay the fine as it is actually cheaper than sticking to the laws.
I can agree with you for it’s cool to take you kids out. Especially when they are not falling behind. But the one thing I could never agree with is parents who take their kids out of school when they are doing bad in school and are falling behind in their classes. My friends mom never informed her going to school and she was constantly not in class. She ended up dropping out. That’s what I don’t agree with. That’s not cool.
I went to the Harlem globetrotters when I was like 7 and I’m 17 now and I have the signed basketball and they are still on there. But you aren’t supposed to play with them because of the signatures if you want them to stay….

@@Donna754 you assume these people are jealous though and you can’t know that
@@Donna754 not an excuse to be rude back. Ever heard the phrase kill them with kindness? You don’t know what someone is going through!
I love that you are having this conversation with your boys cause I feel the same way with my 2 boys they are constantly on the games and its so frustrating for me
One simple solution get rid of them. Or be the parent and make rules they must follow. Those boys didn’t listen to a single word she was saying.
I so feel you with the screen time situ! I’ve had to do the exact same thing with my son and oh my, the difference in that boy is night and day!!
My question for all of this. Do you not receive a letter from the state saying your child has missed too much throughout the year?Because I know my parents received one once in Louisiana when I had missed just a few days of school. And then they would take my parents to court for missing too much school. I know every state is different but I’m honestly curious, not hating.
She said they go to a montessori school which is private and have different rules than public schools
@@stephanieross7001 so I understand, but I also went to private school and we still got the letter. That’s why I’m asking.
I also thought even private schools have to follow the state's rules/protocols(?)
She mentioned they've only missed like 5.5 or 6.5 days. In Kansas you have to miss over 10 to be in risk of being truant and like 16 to actually be considered truant. I'm sure California is similar
They missed like 5 days. That would be insane to send a letter for that. Your school in Louisiana sounds crazy, I've never heard of that in my life.
I always say that adults can take days off of work so why can’t kids miss a few days. As long as parents can help keep them on track it’s not that big of a deal!
Well said Jesss. I can’t be doing with people that criticise parents decisions, I’m sorry but it has got nothing to do with anyone else what you do with your family ❤️
I think its more of the parents who get cps called on them for their kids missing too much school when they are literally sick but people taking vacations 8 times in the school year are all fine and dandy.
I took my kids out of public school for many reasons, but that being one as my son was always sick (from parents being too afraid to keep their kids home and sending them to school sick) and missing too many days.
There’s a difference between public schools and private schools. Hers are in a private school. And if you have a doctors note the absence doesn’t count
@Megan Lopez that's the thing though. They force you to go to the doctors for every runny nose, headache, cough etc. The system is messed up
5:14 wow, such a brave girl Addie! Did I hear u say you would DEFINITLEY get one…😮
that would be so cool! Love your videos!! Also the cats and mango are so cute!! ❤❤
Eeek I get clapping back but don’t shame people for not being able to afford the trips you can go on ❤. I understand being frustrated and defending yourself but that’s so unnecessary.
People posting hate comments to strangers deserve no sympathy. And if someone can’t afford it but haven’t posted hate comments the remarks wasn’t aimed at them 🤷🏼♀️
@@Donna754 still tacky either way. I’m fond of Jess but it’s gross to have that mentality 🥰

@@Donna754 lol ok.
Don't let the haters get to you about taking YOUR kids on trips. I wish growing up my parents had the money to take us on trips. I love watching your vlogs of the trips you take them on. It makes me happy that they get to have those core memories.
Same here it’s like we are on the trip with them
@@Saraa89764 Fr. I love it so much. And it's very obvious they learn a lot on the trips.
I wish i did fun activities out of school. My only trip growing up was disney every summer.
@@CarlieMaria28 My only trips during school were with my school lol. I was on marching band my junior and senior year of high school and we went to Disney my first year to perform and Boston my second year. In November 202 for Thanksgiving was our first official family vacation when we went to Florida for a week. And last year before I dropped out of college, my work study took me to Nashville for a week because I worked with high school students.
And your kids really appreciate the trips n have the most fun. Y'all work hard n play hard and None of your kids are even Slightly spoiled so you as a mom have good balance. Your family is Awesome. Hate the haters and LOVE what you said to them!
I did this with messy activity (I can’t handle it and my kids know this they usually experience it at school only) so over the holidays we made a plan and rules and when the rules were broken I followed through with the plan, it went well in the sense that there were no tantrums when I followed through
Thank you for this conversation being talked about regarding games. I feel the same way during the week no games. Isn't it crazy the change. But these guys are amazing negotiators. Sweetiest kids.
If I was able to travel as much as you guys I would love that. Its a blessing in itself. Your children will remember these trips for the rest of their lives❤
Ok make the rest of us feel great that we can barely survive, yet take our kids on vacations. Just frustrating that I also work my butt off but it doesn’t matter because clearly you make more
There’s people all over the world that make more than you and some make less. That’s life.
That's not her fault.
Unless you've posted rude and hateful comments towards her that wasn't aimed at you.
my mom had a business and we would be pulled out of school early either thursday or friday EVERY WEEKEND to go and sell her items out of state and i still graduated in 2020 with straight A's. TAKE THE KIDS TO SEE THINGS THAT THEY MIGHT ONLY SEE ONCE. I have so many memories with my mom on those weekends before she passed away in sep of last year, I am forever grateful that my parents let me go on the adventures with them.

@@athomewithmonica Good for you that you can at least admit being a trash human 🤷🏼♀️
One thing you could try if they do have a full hour to play on their video game system s is set a timer so they know exactly how much time is left. This way they can choose to play a new round of the game or just start to wrap up the game. This way they can in their minds think about making the right choice and attitude.
Addie trying to pronounce Martin Luther King Jr. had me cracking up!
Jess,
I have always LOVED watching your videos but that rant was distasteful and insensitive. 1st of all, you wouldn’t be where you are without people watching your videos and growing your channel. 2nd, Not everyone has money to blow at Disney every month. I get you’re upset but you should have ignored it like you normally do.
Also, When you’re a public figure then you’re gonna get criticized. Yeah you don’t owe explanations but if you don’t want to explain then don’t show it.
Growing up my parents took us out of school on Fridays almost every week until we were in high school. We’d work on our assignments with our parents on the ride to Mammoth and then ski for the weekend. We’d then turn in the work on Monday. The school never complained as we always completed the work and actually did better on tests and had a much more comprehensive understanding of the material because of the “homeschooling” we got on Fridays. A lot of their friends did the same with their kids, with the same result, and we all loved those weekends. It was so much more valuable, for so many reasons, than sitting in a classroom Friday afternoon thinking about nothing more than when we could get out of there and start the weekend.
“But since you care so much Jill…” 😂😂😂😂 Yassss momma!!! Tell ‘em! That whole rant made my damn week! I love it!!! I hear it when I take my kids to Disney too during school time!! I love doing 100th day with my kiddos!! I STILL can’t believe you like snakes. No thank you ma’am!!! And omg Kyson with his crop top 🤣 Love that kid and his personality!!
What about Lilias screen time? She’s always on her phone or is it just the boys?
I'm assuming it's different for each kid- she said attitudes of the boys changed when they are on the games to long, so if Lilis doesn't, there's no need to limit if she can herself.
I am 12 years old. My brother and I go on trips during breaks. I only skip 3 days of school because we went to Great Wolf Lodge. And we never miss days. Literally, one day I was so sick(no fever) but I was still at school. Wearing a mask
I wish intros on RUclips had "skip" buttons like hulu and netflix
Her intros are usually 45 seconds long…that’s how much I usually skip lmao
Her intros are usually 45 seconds long…that’s how much I usually skip lmao
We would dress up like we were 100 years old for the hundreds day of school.have a famtastic day💛
I am so happy for you that you got invited to go to the Disneyland celebration! I have been since they decorated Disneyland and it is so pretty!
Jess you are so blessed to have such beautiful and healthy children
Yes, they are your kids & it’s your choice what to do with them. However, you have to understand other parents questions and concerns. In my school system, for example, our students are only allowed 10 absences a year.. after that we start getting letters about our kids being held back or us parents going to court about it. So wondering how your able to do it IMO is a valid question. With that being said, people shouldn’t be leaving hateful comments bc it’s not their business & anyone who actually watches your channel knows how much you love your kids.
Side note: yes, I’m a little jealous of all the trips you get to take 😅 I’m lucky to go on two trips a year to the beach for a few days lol. My hubby & I work alllll the time but still can’t manage to afford trips like that & will probably never be able to afford Disney trips. I am truly am glad you & your kids get to make all these amazing memories though. Keep on doing you Jesss. ❤️
Jess you shouldn’t have to explain about taking YOUR kids out of school. It’s not anyone else’s business. They are all clearly happy and doing well. Love your videos ❤
Landen is living at time 15:27 when Kyson is playing with his hair. I love that!!😘
What's up Fam!! Thankyou for all the hard work you put into your videos. we appreciate you so much!! :-) xx
It’s nice you can take them out that much .. I wish we could !!! We get as parents actually in trouble if our kids miss over 5 days and don’t have a drs note
My little brother plays video games allllll dayyy! He wakes up in the morning and gets right on he doesn’t even do school!(im homeschooled) at one point we had to hide the controllers from him. It fr changes your attitude!
Speaking of how great Casetify’s cases are, so recently we had a power outage & I was using my phone as a flashlight to refill my wood stove. Well as I went to throw in a piece of wood, in went my cellphone too 😩 my phone survived!!!! Thankfully it was only coals in there but still. It could have been a total loss lol just the outer rubber pieces melted a tiny bit in some spots but the case itself survived, not a mark on the back piece at all🤦🏻♀️
Just a suggestion with the games. I think for a lot fo kids the frustration with a hard time limit is that they might be in the middle of a came and lose progress they've worked hard towards if they have to shut of right away. My son is only two but my husband and I realized this is what had happened with our now-adult step son, and have already talked about what we will probably do differently with our son when he is older. Depending on how long a game takes or how long it takes to get to a save point, he will get a "last game" warning or "at the next save point it is time to be done." That might mean his time is cut a little short or goes a little over, but will hopefully average around whatever limit we set, but he won't lose progress.
I really just want to point out how much you and your family have in common with me and mine, we both live in sacramento, I have 6 siblings so a total of 7 kids in my family!!, Lilia is the SAME age as me.
One of the few things we dont have in common is that you go to Disney alot… ive been once.
The trips you take family on look fun. Travelling is learning as well I find. Safe travels on your next family fun adventures :).
People will find something to complain about no matter what you do. You're an amazing mom and your kiddos are very lucky to have you! ❤️
Thank you for showing the game situation I have 4 kids with the same problem!! I have a love hate relationship with games and electronics I love seeing your take on this makes me feel normal lol that’s mom for the tips 💖
Do what you want with your kids!! They’re only little for such a short time and then they’re gone and grown. Enjoy it!
Totally agree with you that games are great to an extent. You are an amazing mom sitting down and explaining your thinking and concerns. I give you credit for limiting the game time and giving them a healthy mix of both.
Y’all have to realize just cause we are in the same country don’t mean everything runs the same California it self runs on it’s own beat anyways. Schools differ from state to state as far as the rules and it matters wether it’s a charter or private or even catholic they are not all the same state to state. School where I live you can’t miss 10 days in one school year or cps gets called so you never know what’s going on where someone is.
You are so fun Jess! I always have a smile on my face while watching.
I can’t believe she would curse in front her little kid and that she was technically bragging to the people who wanna be mean but I’m just saying like if you argee
To be fair if they are close to finishing a level or winning in some way that could be part of the reason they don't want to get off when told if they tell you they are close to winning or almost done with something that they might have to start over from the beginning you could try telling them I'll give you 5 minutes and if you are still not done that's it imagine if someone told you to stop doing something immediately that you worked hard on and will have to start over from the beginning

That was SOO sweet with Kyson and Addy 🥹☺️
Jess at this point you all might as well just homeschool your children 😅 You can supplement their education with virtual tutors or teachers, continue their extracurricular activities , and for more socialization you could join a homeschool pod/group.
Jessica: I hate screen time.
Kyson: You’re on your phone.
LOL
I love they way you hear the boys out
as someone who played games as a child and still as an adult, give them notice before ending their game time, 20 mins or so and if theyre not finished, let them finish the game or get to a save point then end game time. some games cant be paused and it is so annoying when you get forced to quit mid game especially if they play anything in competitive mode (fortnite, online games etc) as you get penalized for leaving early and can be banned from the game!
Ong I’m so happy to see my boys aren’t the only ones with this problem!!!! It drives me nuts 🤦♀️
I love how kyson hugs his siblings and how they go to him for hugs. Your kids are smart, funny, and cute.
People act like home study doesn't exist 😒 they have options for those who want/need to take a vacation and still continue to complete school work. Do your research before you judge people!
Love your rules Jess have a beautiful week sending prayers for everyone
I don't want to be a party pooper, but just because the phones don't break visibly doesn't mean they don't get damaged inside..those phones are super sensitive.
Saying people are jealous?you don’t know that. And many people can’t afford that. Not many schools encourage trips and such.
Your kids are so sweet with each other! I wish me and my siblings were like that 😂
Jess, yaaaassss! I 100% agree with you that the devices affect moods and attitudes - "sweet, lovable demons 🤣." We have device limitations in our house too. 👍
Family trips growing up were absolutely amazing. You can always make up the work. We always figured out how to miss the least amount of school possible and took any work with us to do in the evening. My brother is in middle school and we're about to take a 2 week trip and he's only missing 6 days. As long as we kept up grades and finished our work we got to go on AMAZING vacations and make great memories together. Don't listen to what others have to say, those experiences and memories will last your kids a lifetime and those few days your kids miss in school would be completely unmemorable. Ps y'all do realize schools teach to prepare you for tests now right? Like you memorize facts, test on them, and then forget all of the information to make room for the next test. Traveling and experiencing new things is going to be WAY more worth it to those kids js
Oh I just love this fam, I like everyone so much. ❤ There is just one thing in that video that I did not like. You say to the boys, you want to raise good humans but people who play video games all day, aren't they good humans? There are different reasons for people living like this, I had a time in my teenage times too, when games were the only fun I had. These games can also help kids to know what they want and like in life. I would always prefer understanding over judging any way of life.
The out of school comments could be a culture thing as well as jealousy. Here in the UK laws in place mean parents are actually fined if they take children on holiday in school time. It doesn’t matter if the child has 100% attendance up to that date and is a straight A student parents still receive the fine. However as holiday prices during school breaks is so much more expensive than booking the same holiday during term time, many still simply pay the fine as it is actually cheaper than sticking to the laws.
Ngl I almost always skip the promotions but Kyson really made it entertaining today. What a little business man!

Yours and Chris’ kids your rules lovely I’ve watched you since day 1 and you’re amazing xxx
I can agree with you for it’s cool to take you kids out. Especially when they are not falling behind. But the one thing I could never agree with is parents who take their kids out of school when they are doing bad in school and are falling behind in their classes. My friends mom never informed her going to school and she was constantly not in class. She ended up dropping out. That’s what I don’t agree with. That’s not cool.
“let’s pinterest it 4:28” sounds like my mom
I went to the Harlem globetrotters when I was like 7 and I’m 17 now and I have the signed basketball and they are still on there. But you aren’t supposed to play with them because of the signatures if you want them to stay….
