    As a teen I remember a child in the grocery store acting up. The mother was so bothered by a lady frowning at her. My mother told the young mother, "Everything is ok. Most of us have been at your stage of life and we know what you're going through right now. Those that haven't been there will never understand. So just relax, hold your head high and march on." The lady actually gave my mother a hug. As a teen it didn't mean a thing to me, but when I got to the stage in life, that the mother was in that day, I remembered my mothers' words. I went through that store with my head high and my heart beating like a drum. Rebekka is at her 3-year-old stage of life and an absolutely adorable little thing and as normal as can be. I love her and your whole family......and no buts.........

    I have been watching your videos for quite awhile now. I am an “older woman”, 66, and would be proud to call any one of your children my grandchild. All of them , without exception are thoughtful, kind and helpful. I always leave your videos feeling happy that we have some children in this world like yours. They restore my faith in the future. Your sweet Rebecca is adorable and sweet so don’t listen to those ignorant people who like to make evil comments just to see themselves in print. I’m sorry you have to deal with this. Please let your children know what I have said about them and tell them to continue on in their lives being the wonderful, smart and delightful people I know they are growing up to be. Much love to you and your family.

    Here's my take on it: When I watch your videos (along with other family vloggers at times), I am SO VERY IMPRESSED with the patience you have with your precious baby. The fact that you ALLOW her to interrupt with kindness shows the very essence of good parenting. I hope they don't wish for you to just usher her out of the frame so you can continue to film without interruption. Seeing her joy in those interruptions which are just being a kid to her such as: "I'm eating a pancake, a berry, a biscuit, etc." are the MOST SPECIAL part of it to me and a whole lot of other people. Have we become so impatient, that we can't give a child 2 seconds to be mothered and included. I mean her smile alone makes my day. The way your family helps with her and works together to allow us into your lives is just a blessing in itself. I cannot respond to the pinned comment because as you have said, if you can't say anything kind, stay silent so I will on that. Your reply was enough for me. I don't comment often but I'm always here watching and enjoying the love and passion for life your family represents. Have a great weekend ya'll. I think I can speak for 27.6K people when I say.......OZARK FAMILY HOMESTEAD ROCKS!!!!!!!

You said some same things I did in response to the commenter. Like your ma didn't teach you that if you don't have anything good to say don't say anything at all!" And that Rebecca is just acting her age, but they are acting childish and mean and petty but they are an adult. I hope you can read my comment it's a reply to the pinned commentor!

    Ok I am the eldest of 11 children and one of the things that I enjoy most about your family is the memories of the love and joy that we shared. Your youngest in my opinion acts like a sweet, joyful, inquisitive, bright, and loved youngest child. You have done a wonderful job raising your children they are very well mannered and each one has their own special talents you have encouraged, they are truly delightful. I do enjoy your youngest the way she marches around with her brothers and sisters making herself part of whatever is going on. I also remember seeing her gently taken on a little walk by her father when she gets a little silly and being told ever so gently to wait just a minute by her mother. This is discipline at its best. Whoever the adult is that has resulted to name callling is just plain sick. God bless your family and thank you for bringing joy to to me every time I watch.

She will learn to treat others that same way. Your expectations of her behavior match her abilities. This teaches her confidence. You smile and encourage her in positive ways. She will learn to love life and have close warm relationships. You know exactly what you are doing. Discipline is not black and white. It’s given in an age appropriate manner. Rebecca is an extremely lucky girl to have you as her mom. Rebecca is pure joy ❤ I’m certainly glad you can see that about your daughter, and am sorry that the commenter could not.

    I raised a very hyper ADH autistic child. You cannot believe the horrible comments people made to me in public because of his behavior. I tried my best to discipline him. It’s not like I let him run wild. Sometimes I think I over discipline him to make people happy. I wish I could go back in time and handle it differently. Those mean comments from strangers hurt. It was real life so I couldn’t just delete them like on social media. What I did say to those strangers when they told me my kid was a brat, needed a spanking, or asked me if I ever wanted to kill him (yes someone actually said that), was ,”That’s why God gave him to me instead of you.”

    I raised an ADHD son in the 1980’s. I can not tell you how many people blamed me for being a bad parent while we did tutors, therapies, home training etc all while getting no sleep as he did not sleep. Eventually we found a medicine that helped him sleep and focus in school but his childhood was a long haul with little understanding or help from other parents. I can tell you that a “brat”is a child who knows better but is spoiled by using bad behavior to get what they want. That would never happen in my house or in yours.

I literally smile at the end of every video with her sweet "Bye!". 🥰 I was a preschool teacher for about 25 years & just love those ages. I don't understand why some people feel so free to leave hurtful comments on RUclips. I had an assistant teacher who would "jokingly" tell the infants that they were spoiled.😯 I told her (nicely) that I didn't want to hear that.

Your family is exemplary - I'm sure you've inspired thousands with your common sense and Christian values, AND ESPECIALLY by the example of success you've broadcast to us all. Your family is an example to all of how children ought to be raised, how children ought to respond to instruction and live their lives as obedient, kind little people with high standards for themselves academically, spiritually, socially. Their accomplishments are impressive! If you sometimes "inspire" criticism, maybe it's out of jealousy because most of America doesn't enjoy the success you're achieving in your family life and in each of your sweet children. I hope you're able to forgive and forget this awful attack and will continue to inspire us with your channel. May God continue to bless your sweet family!

It is the troll who has the MAJOR PROBLEM, NOT REBEKAH or any of your children. Please, my dearest Janice, don’t allow a snide, evil comment from a troll take away your happiness, however, the way you responded demonstrated the true character you have in being kind and gracious. Our Lord is filling your soul with much Grace right now as you carried that cross with great aplomb. Love every single member of your family and I wish I could hug you through the lens. With all the pieces of my heart. ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏😇😇😇🥺🥺🥺

    I could not comment earlier about anything other than the grocery haul. But I wanted to slip back in to say that we understand how you were feeling Janice. The things that people would say to our grandson and his wife about our great-grandson Ollie were sometimes very very thoughtless and ill informed. Our Ollie is non-verbal autistic. When he was three, any place where there were lots of people and lots of sounds could be painful and overwhelming until he could put his sound reduction headphones on. People who didn’t understand would say horrible things, to his mother in particular. Even though we realized that some did not understand, it was hurtful.
    Our Ollie has grown into a smart and successful student, and most importantly, a loving big brother to a little sister who adores him! These two communicate with each other just as well as siblings who both speak. And, it turns out that our Ollie’s intellect is actually quite a bit above average. We are proudest of his heart. He is a kind and loving little boy, who continues to overcome any obstacle.
    Janice, I hope you are feeling better. People sometimes don’t think, as you have pointed out. We really hope you are feeling better. Our elder cat TJ says to tell you about how he loves to sit with me while I watch your channel!
    Love across the miles from the “toasty” Sacramento Valley!

    I am a mother of 4 ADHD boys and have experienced the ugliness of others opinions. My children are grown or nearly grown and are happy and healthy. ALL of my children have learned to be very productive members of society because I took the time to patiently teach them. Nobody has the right to lay their opinion on you and the way you choose to raise your very sweet well behaved 3 yr old. The goal is to raise them to be happy healthy members os society. I believe kids should be seen and heard that’s how they experience the world and guides a parent on areas that need improvement, Sham on the person who felt comfortable enough to have an opinion on a family the see only in recordings and not close personal friendships with.
