I am actually going to reply here, which I normally don't. However, these fulltime families, especially Sandy (pink Mohawk) and her family are pretty fantastic. We also fulltime RV with our 4 kids, 18 yo boy, 17 yo boy, 12 yo girl and 11 yo girl, and 5 dogs. We live in a very spacious 5th wheel toyhauler which will sleep up to 14 people COMFORTABLY. For those who don't know what a toyhauler is, it is a 5th wheel with a 15 foot garage where you can haul "toys" motorcycle, golf cart etc. It also has a 2 drop down queen beds. It also has a drop down patio to sit out on which also converts to a ramp to load any toys you might take. Most families use this garage area for either an office, master bedroom or kids room. My teen boys used this garage for our first year, but now they use the master bedroom. Most of these RV's also have at least one full bathroom with one half bath in the garage. My 11 yo has her own bedroom and my other daughter has the loft above. Both girls love their rooms. As a matter of fact, my daughter's room is larger than the room she had at our sticks and bricks which she had to share with her sister. The loft you called the "kitchen cabinet", actually goes the full width of the RV. Typically, this will sleep 2 full adults on a queen size bed. There is also community, very similar to a sticks and bricks community. There are groups such as one called Full-time families, where families frequently travel together, or will meet up with other families, there are frequent rallies for these groups every couple of months or so as well. Most of us are also part of the thousand trails system, where we stay in a location for up to 3 weeks. We pay a membership fee and don't pay any camping fees, electric, water, trash, taxes, etc. Our first 5 years will be $300/mo. Everything included, after that, there are no fees. Where can you live for that cheap with all the amenities we enjoy and the locations we get to go to? We stay at the most gorgeous resorts where the kids swim, go and hangout with friends at the activities center, do tons of activities that the resort offers. We have asked our kids if they would ever want to go back to a house, their answers are always no way. Typically when we are in Florida, we are in an area that has several thousand trails campgrounds. We all "bounce" every 3 weeks or so between 2, 3 or more campgrounds My kids have lots of friends that they see more often than the friends they had when we were in a sticks and bricks home. My kids attend a fully accredited online school with real teachers. They can do their school anytime of the day of night, they are able to get in touch with their teachers to get help if they need it, they will also receive highschool diplomas from their "home" state. So until you have really experienced this lifestyle, you really have no place to say.
Yes. It helps avoid CPS *and* allows the parents of adolescents to travel from place to place interviewing their new sons in law, who are usually grown men affiliated with "a wonderful church". The ones who shout the loudest are the ones who are doing the most.
@@laurahanners2833 Rvs are typically only good for long term if it's just a couple with less than 3 children or if there are enough actual matresses per child. The width of the "cabinet" was not the issue. From top to bottom it is not enough space for a person to sleep if they are not fully capable of sitting straight up with no issue. There's barely any room to breathe, let alone fart. Also you don't have children laying on the bare floor for long term. At least have the decency to get a blow up matress or a roll up ffs. Of course if you take children to all these fun activities they aren't going to want to go back home. The same way you take them to a water park and they don't wanna go back home. Also the reason they wouldn't come out to the teachers about abuse is because then the activities go away and you get ur parents in trouble. Universally no children want to get their parents in trouble even if their parents m-rdered someone.
When I was a kid I had 5 siblelings, and we lived in a 1 room apparment. I remember waking up multiple times to my parents doing "it" when I was 6-8 years old. To this day I have a hard time watching spicey scenes and even listening to the act(during movies). I am SO traumatized by it.Thank you layze for bringing it up. No kid should have to go though that.
I have always HATED when parents have 10 kids and shove them all in an RV. And the parents get a huge bedroom…. while the kids get tiny COFFINS. The parents just think about themselves and THEIR dreams. While some of their kids sleep on the FLOOR. The kids don’t even get a bedroom. We children NEED bedrooms throughout our lives. As a teenager, I need to privately cry sometimes! We need our private spaces. Oh, and as an introvert, I need hours in a room alone to “recharge” from ANY human interaction! Meaning, I EVEN need a break from my FAMILY pretty often. I am so, so, so blessed that I have kind & considerate parents. I have my own room- and it’s incredible! I used to share with my sister, but now I have this room TO MYSELF! Such a divine blessing!!!
And making all of them listen to it. Have you ever tried to rock a school bus? Now imagine two adults getting it on. The whole bus knows what's happening.
@@Faesharlyn Girl, I did not need that image in my head. Its bad enough hearing your parents get it on in a house, I dont wanna know what its like when they are only a few meters away from you, ew.
@@Mandaxx25ok and? The kids come first and not them plus the kids didn’t choose to live this uncomfortable life the parents did so they should sacrifice their comfort and give it to their kids.
There’s different levels of insane parents, these ones are dumb enough to post videos about it online. Mine weren’t good either but it was only in private, because ✨appearances✨
I've seen it done right, its mostly farmers and there kids helping out where they can but sometimes you get moms/dads and their kid/s pop in to say they love them or join in the game for a bit.
The first family is actually pretty cool and they live in a huge apartment in New York now. That was in between moving lol...alot of their kids are in college in New York and have dorms and still choose to go home alot because they have a pretty cool family.
My grandad used to have to share a bed with his siblings back in the 1920's/ 1930's in London, because he lived in slums and was one of 8 children. I can't help but think about that every time I see a van life parent talk about how their kids share a bed. Don't do that if you don't have to, because some people don't have a choice and would give anything for their kids to have a better life.
Same ma grandma was 1 of 17 lol everybody share everything there was no money and no space i still dont get it but he they worked hard for it so why not
@@thrumylenns2207 What the parents are doing is selfish It's not like the parent are struggling financially in order to live like this. They chose this lifestyle for themselves and kids. The family with the casket type bed. They sold their house to travel. They often get upset stating the children get the smaller beds due to them [the parents] having to work. Although they did change the bedding situation by giving them more room. They also like to video record any type punishment they might receive. Although its not corpal punishment. It is deeply upsetting to watch these kids be humiliated to thousands of people online. Remember kids don't stay kids forever, these kids will soon grow up and want their own space. Knowing their parent can afford it and possibly might resent them. Not only are these parent displaying a huge amount of the kids lives online but also the lack of privacy within the 'household' will affect the negatively. Not to mention that most of these van life vloggers are homeschooling their kids. Nothings wrong with homeschooling but they need to have at least a social life that is non combative with the parents wanting to keep moving.
As someone who, as a child, had to live in a small RV with her mom and stepdad, I can tell you for sure that the parents having “alone time”, will leave those kids scarred for life. It’s not just the noise, RVs and campers shake very easily.😞
Once those boys hit about 14, that's when the crazy growth hormones kick in. You suddenly start developing real height and muscle mass, and you start taking up a lot of room and you really need privacy. All kids need privacy once they reach a certain age. No teenage girl wants her whole family to know when she's having her period.
9:28 legit child labor The reason I say that is because Molly had to run down to the compound, and literally grab these hot, scorching pieces of metal. And in return, they just end up getting nothing except for burning coffins, and in return, if that, they get no entertainment, education, or even have fun stuffed into this small ass van. I will recite every single law in the book for 25 likes. I will recite the Bible for 100 likes.
Family of 12 in a 30 ft trailor?!?!?? I do RV life with my husband we’ve been on the road for over 6 months. Loving it! We have a 27 ft toy hauler with a drop down ramp to make room for a lil patio. We have 2 medium sized dogs with us, a full size bed and a queen-and 2 couches with a cute lil kitchen, bathroom+shower. It’s the perfect size FOR TWO (2) PEOPLE I went for a toy hauler because of the floor space and open lay out. A normal sprinter van or early 9s model RVs would be far too cramped for the 4 of us and even in a 27 ft camper with 2 adults, it still has its occasional moments of feeling TOO SMALL!!! sure I got lucky with a huge open space layout because a lot of rvs and vans have 0 floor space!! And it’s all cluttered with cabinets. I’m so thankful for the home I have now but the idea of 12 KIDS in a trailor only 3 ft longer than my current home, IS FUCKING INSANE???? like bro how????
yep. I commented I don't ever have a problem with the sleeping spaces for the kids. I have a problem with the LIVING spaces. These kids have nowhere to live. As you pointed out the living room is tiny.
@psychedelicpayroll5412 because the girls are only thier to help with the dozen siblings they have . They are only " Help Maids " and yes those cults actually use that terminology
It is. Maybe that's why they live in a van. They leave the state before CPS catches wind of them. That's an additional problem with homeschooling its much easier to hide abuse.
my son and i live in an RV but he gets the bedroom all to himself, i'm not gonna make him sleep on the couch. kids need some form of privacy and a place that they can retreat to to just breathe and be alone, it's so important for their mental development! i couldn't imagine having all those babies in a VAN like that, how does that mom not want to rip her hair out from stress??
7:40 I just realized my family has like that same bunk bed thing but it’s a trailer and their daughter sleeps there BUT FOR CAMPING, not for traveling all around-
Reminded me of people sleeping on the bathroom floor in Indian trains. 😂 Literally have to walk over atleast 6 people to reach the stanky ass bathroom in the middle of the night. 💀
@@mandira_draws My bedroom shares a wall with the bathroom and that's bad enough. Can't imagine being in the *same room* trying to sleep while some else is using the toilet
Not only is their bed space pitiful.. the kids (and parents) have ZERO privacy. Why the fuck would you have this many kids, if you can't even properly care for them. I feel bad for them.
Watching this makes me feel SO blessed. My parents work hard to give me and my siblings a good life, each their own room, so much privacy, and entertainment. I don’t live in a giant mansion and get anything I want bc im not spoiled, but at least my parents never do “it” in our home. They must know it’s traumatizing for the kids.
I am sooooo excited to see ex-family vlogger kids doing exposés in the coming years, especially van life kids. Lawsuits even? Oh its gonna be great. I hope the kids finally get THEIR millions
I'm someone who *likes* small spaces sometimes (IDK it's just comforting for some reason), this makes me anxious. I'm also the type to have sleep and focus difficulties, and pace around and move a lot when that happens
The van life is for single people or couples, not for families. The parents need privacy, but the kids too ! Each kid should have their own room. The parents need privacy for very obvious reasons. And once a kid becomes a teen it's important that they have their own private place.
Yeah I'm a huge proponent of van life for single people and couples that can handle that small amount of space but holy cow subjecting kids to that is abuse. I've also seen way too many videos of people with a young child and it's obvious they haven't considered the child growing up and getting bigger, that small cot they're showing now is not gonna work when they a tween/teenager
no fr I feel so bad for that one older teen boy on the floor and the girls who looked around puberty age. Imagine dealing with all the puberty struggles while cramped in next to, or out in the open near ur other siblings. Ain't no privacy for NUTHIN!!!
Each kid their own room is a slightly privileged opinion tbh. Ideally, yes, at least Teenagers should have the privacy of their own room, or at least the chance to have extended alone time in the home. Those kids can’t - you are insinuating it yourself - develop a healthy relationship to their own body or a healthy sexuality. If those guys ever get caught masturbating in a public space, you know why!
The content creator is lying and being disengenuous. That family isnt even a van lifer family. They live in Harlem in a spacious apartment. Their older kids go to a fancy college. This guy should do a video on how I slept on the floor in a sleeping bag while camping with my family. So lucky we didnt get cps called on us.
i used to live in an camper, a vintage one. i had a loft above the drivers seats. it was my parents, me, and our dog, isabella. the loft was actually pretty tall, and spacious. i got lucky. i was like 4-6 anyway, and sometimes needed help getting up and down. it was MUCH more comfortable than anything i've seen here, though.
@@Samxd90 wrong. Ask any pediatrician and they will tell you it is not healthy to sleep on the floor. Thats where all of the bacteria and germs hangout for one thing.
I actually switched to floor/futon sleeping as an adult and my back has never been happier. The kids definitely deserve their own space though, sticking a kid on a bathroom or kitchen floor ain’t it.
Idk… I do agree that they need more space but as someone who has family in Africa, it’s not uncommon for my counsins to sleep on the same bed as their family. And if anything, it was kind of fun. The sense of community was really amazing despite what seemed like “poverty” and a “lower standard of living”, I was still very happy.
@@th1rt3n_tn49 You'll hear that in a house too. A healthy sex life is a good thing for couples, you just consider it normal. I think some people overreact about the whole "OMG, my parents have sex!" thing lol. I mean, you and whatever siblings you have exist for a reason? And it's HEALTHY lol. Of course you don't want them doing it right beside you, but you're overreacting still lol.
@@heavennunya809 Sex is natural. Sex is good for a relationship. Sex is something parents should be able to participate in. Sex is also intimate. Your children shouldn't bear witnesses to you sharing your most intimate moments with your partner. Normalize sex without being living proof to your children. I know my parents had sex, but I, even as an adult, do not wish to see them engage in it. My parents being intimate is not something I wish to bear witness to. My parents ALSO do not wish me to be a witness to that.
Imagine being sick, leaving your coffin-shaped bed to go to the bathroom and having to do parkour while trying to climb your rockwall to get back into bed
What’s worse is some of these vans don’t have bathrooms, so on top of all that you’d have to go outside to pee wherever the parents decided to park for the night (so probably unfamiliar and scary to a child)
The thing is when God told people to be fruitful and multiply he literally said it when no or few people were around from what I read so far in the Bible. Thank goodness the RV was temporary since they were moving but still they have their lives monetized which is a form of prostitution in Gods eyes.
@@piercejones4355I find being religious and naming your kids from the Bible quite lazy. What’s important is the meaning of the name not who had it. But not all their kids have religious names. I think only the boys have religious names and the girls don’t.
Did these parents forget that kids, Y’know, grow? Like it’s already tight fitting all 12 of your kids in it, wait until they’re all teens and adults and see how fun it is.
I grew up in a house full with 10 kids. I shared a giant basement room with my brothers, as a teenager I slept on the couch for two years then eventually moved out. It was horrendous and that’s when my back started hurting and still does to this day. We shouldn’t complain about where we are, There’s a lot of kids in this house she’d say. Parents did indeed have a king size bed, and room for themselves.
Same with my parents. They have 12 children together and my dad has other women/ children. Growing up with soo many people was crazy but I was used to it. All the children took care of the other children. My parents always had their own rooms and told us the reason they had us was for free farm labor and so that it was guaranteed that at least one of the many children would take care of them when they got old. ….. 😂. What the f. I was the first one to run away from Mississippi and even after I became homeless in PA I still did not want to go back. My father tried to get me to come back saying I wouldn’t have yo worry about bills etc but I said nope. I worked my way out of homelessness and feel so free.
3:30 THAT HAS TO BE A JOKE. she has two of her kids legit sleeping right on the floor with just a blanket and pillow. doesn’t even try to make it seem better with an air mattress or anything 😳😳
@@bacondude7586 first of all, yes, that does make it worlds better. And second, this isn't a permanent situation for that family. They are moving across country to a house that isn't quite ready yet. Van life for them was temporary. So yes, two children, who likely volunteered to sleep on a floor mattress and sleeping bag, there temporarily during a move, is not a big deal.
@@heavennunya809 how can sleeping in a sleeping bag is better especially if your a kid/or growing teenager. In my opinion, sleeping in that EVERYDAY is suffocating and sleeping in that TEMPORARILY (but this temporarilily is several months) is not a good excuse.
Wanting to have a big family is not a crime, but not being able to care for them or if they have to live in poverty is not cool for them or their upbringing
@@mangacollect9878 interesting and it does make sense what you guys wrote, that less time or nurture perhaps leads to less thriving. It depends on the parents involvement & as mentioned, to not have to live extra scarcely due to less income. I think a stay at home parent that is involved is necessary then for things to go around for the family home life, so it doesnt have to feel like a travelling circus
My mother lived on a ship in the navy and these are literally known as coffin racks. Weird seeing them outside a ship. I cant imagine someone willingly sleeping like that, its enough to cause someone to develop claustrophobia.
My grandma grew up in the dust bowl with 7 siblings and her parents in one bedroom house. They didn't have room but I think based on her stories, they had more room than any of these kids. And yes my grandma heard her youngest siblings being made so these kids definitely are too
My grandpa was the youngest of 13. He left home and never looked back unless somebody died. He kept his word on barely discussing his childhood while both my grandmas were vocal about their childhoods and being from big families but not as huge as his. The only thing we know is that he was tasked with killing chickens on the farm because that was the reason why he never ate chicken. We didn’t even find out he was from such a big family or lived on a farm until he died.
So as someone who grew up in an rv with my three siblings and two parents, I hated it. My parents literally raised me to think that microwaves were fancy, like I shared a room with my siblings and it’s horrible. Also yes in an rv you can feel the hole thing shaking and the noises when your parent do the devils tango
@@AStarInTheSky1 genuinly curois what was the school situation like for you and them and stuff i genuinly wanna know more because whenever i see these videos it just breaks my heart knowing kids are shoved into a tin can
Well not all of them… they have a 3rd. The 3rd is just neglected as they don’t get enough clout and are forced to sleep in a pretty much coffin like the others.
I love how they describe the area some of the kids are sleeping in “this is a table, this is a couch.” But then for the ones on the floor they just say “this is where ____ sleeps.”
I used to live with my family in a school bus, my bed shelf was so small I could not lay on my side at age 10. I was 4 and a half feet tall and weighed 50 pounds. In the morning the entire bus is damp, full of everyone's bad breath and farts. Not to mention that my brother was conceived in it, with two little girls literally feet away
How do you feel about your parents? Do you feel living that way has affected you? Just curious but completely understand if you choose not to answer 😊.
@aliinwonderland656 I don't speak to either of them, we lived in a school bus because my dad was horrifically abusive to me and my siblings. It was a way that he could literally run when the school eventually called CPS. I went to ten schools between Colorado and New Hampshire between kindergarten and fifth grade, when we moved back to his childhood hometown where all of the police and town officials were his old schoolmates and parents friends. This situation is abusive, those kids have no stability or real relationships with anyone except their parents and siblings, regardless of the internet and social media. In my experience they're being stored on shelves like little caterpillars that the parents are pupating, and when the girls emerge into their physical adulthood by menstruating they'll be paraded in front of the church authorities in order to find them proper suitors. They'll be married and pregnant before legally able but it's ok, their parents will give permission for their daughters to be married to older men, long time family friends who have know them their whole lives. "It's totally normal" When my brothers began school they also went "full time RVing" for several years. My brothers were homeschooled, my dad decided that he would rather not register them. Too many mandated reporters in schools.
@c471 thank you. I'm 52 years old and just now learning how to stand up for myself and respect my own feelings and needs. It's a conscious effort and I have to actively work against my "programming" every day. Sleeping comfortably in a king sized bed helps.. Seeing it made in pretty sheets, nice blankets and comfortable pillows makes "child PhoenixFiremouse" so happy we make it up nice and tidy every day. (#FollowTheDopamine)
There is some serious misjudgment that even I fell for. The RV was temporary since they were moving but still they shouldn’t have made their kids public and make money off of them. And since they are religious God would judge them on that instead.
Me and my brother shared a room for a while even then we agreed that certain parts are for free use while if we want to be alone we either go to a different room or just stay on our bed hell I even got my bed in front of a small old tv we used to have kinda want to find it to jurryrig it back to life but eh I got a decent sized tv now and my own room but we at least knew hey let’s be glad we have a room even with roommates
you act like their treating them like damn animals, its just living in an rv. and sleeping on the floor if they want too, im pretty sure if they asked their parents if they can sleep in their bed with them they would probably say yes.
I feel like it’s important to say that this is completely different for poor families who are forced to do this as they cannot afford an apartment or house
Yes, some people can’t afford to live in a house with private spaces for each of the kids. I understand and the housing market is a royal pain in the ass right now world-wide. But buying an RV, or even a small van requires a lot of money upfront, and these parents are choosing this lifestyle for their kids.
Usualy in poor families the parents get the best that they can have to they kids, in my culture (I'm not from usa) if the family have only one bedroom the parents prefer give they bedroom to they kids and sleep on living room. In those case they prefer put they kids sleeping on the floor than give they bed to them.
I was raised in squalor for a certain chunk of my childhood. Abusive household with four other children in one apartment bedroom. WE STILL HAD MORE ROOM! This is sickening. No friends. Lonely. No privacy. No space.
@@mikkayo same 100%. My family thinks it’s bs that it still effects me on a daily basis but they were never put into any kind of situation I was put into a a child…they just ignore it. It hurts so bad because it feels like that part of my childhood was stolen from me. Like I’ll never get that time back yk? Or my sanity
I remember hearing my parents do it by accident one time at midnight and everytime I'm awake at midnight and knows they're awake as well, i always put on earbuds cause I'm scared I'll hear them do it again. I only heard them do it 1 time but for these poor kids to hear it multiple times, i really wonder how they must feel.
I'm from a low income immigrant household which can suck sometimes, but then when I see shit like this I'm thankful my parents somehow managed to buy an actual house and that I'm not crammed into an RV with 11 siblings all named McKayleigh because they were responsible and reasonable and stopped at 3.
Yeah I think three people is a pretty common number to stop at vs have 10 people, sleep in sinks, floors, and tables just so you parents can live a van life
What about using the bathroom? Imagine at night trying to get down from some of those high beds and then standing in line like yyou just woke up on a long overnight flight . Those bathrooms usually aren't much bigger than airplane bathrooms because they are not meant to live in for 12 damn people.
It is no different than living in a 3 bedroom, one bath home. What happens when a family of 5 gets the stomach bug? It must be nice that you are all able to have one bathroom per person in your home. Also, the bathrooms are quite large, not anywhere near the size of an airplane bathroom, unless of course you are in a 20 foot trailer or smaller.
Years ago, my three cousins and I went on a road trip with my Grandparents. We were all between 9 and 12. We slept in a tiny camper. The table turned into a bed where my grandparents slept, and ALL four of us kids slept in the tiny little bunk above it. It worked. We played outside all day and were so tired at night. We were kids, and we could sleep anywhere. I would have loved my own little coffin. 😂😂😂 That said, it was vacation. This is no way to house children full time.
I couldn't image turning into a teen and going through puberty sleeping next to or just below my brother. Just seems unhealthy, personal space and boundaries are important.
Teenage hormones. Teenage 'discovery'.(if ykyk) Significant others. Privacy. Its not being privileged, it's being respected enough to not live like a sardine
@laurahanners2833 I'm an only child but have lots of friends who had opposite sex siblings guess what they all have separate rooms because boundaries are normal and shows the parents had basic respect for them. One of mates shared a room with her sister till she was 14 then got her own room, their brother however always had his own room, to me that just sounds normal and should be unless you don't have any other choice.
I have lived in a camper with 2 kids & a dog & it was super horrible & we hated it. It only lasted about 6 months& we could tell you some horror stories when it comes to using the bathroom, cooking, taking showers & so much more, not to mention we felt super cramped in it… never ever again!!!! It’s not a good time
I guess having no address and moving around helps them avoid CPS too.
And the kids have no friends/teachers to be worried about them
@@itsanoformethanks6277 They have no way to seek help
I am actually going to reply here, which I normally don't. However, these fulltime families, especially Sandy (pink Mohawk) and her family are pretty fantastic. We also fulltime RV with our 4 kids, 18 yo boy, 17 yo boy, 12 yo girl and 11 yo girl, and 5 dogs. We live in a very spacious 5th wheel toyhauler which will sleep up to 14 people COMFORTABLY. For those who don't know what a toyhauler is, it is a 5th wheel with a 15 foot garage where you can haul "toys" motorcycle, golf cart etc. It also has a 2 drop down queen beds.

My teen boys used this garage for our first year, but now they use the master bedroom. Most of these RV's also have at least one full bathroom with one half bath in the garage. My 11 yo has her own bedroom and my other daughter has the loft above. Both girls love their rooms. As a matter of fact, my daughter's room is larger than the room she had at our sticks and bricks which she had to share with her sister. The loft you called the "kitchen cabinet", actually goes the full width of the RV. Typically, this will sleep 2 full adults on a queen size bed.

Yes. It helps avoid CPS *and* allows the parents of adolescents to travel from place to place interviewing their new sons in law, who are usually grown men affiliated with "a wonderful church".
The ones who shout the loudest are the ones who are doing the most.
@@laurahanners2833 Rvs are typically only good for long term if it's just a couple with less than 3 children or if there are enough actual matresses per child. The width of the "cabinet" was not the issue. From top to bottom it is not enough space for a person to sleep if they are not fully capable of sitting straight up with no issue. There's barely any room to breathe, let alone fart. Also you don't have children laying on the bare floor for long term. At least have the decency to get a blow up matress or a roll up ffs. Of course if you take children to all these fun activities they aren't going to want to go back home. The same way you take them to a water park and they don't wanna go back home. Also the reason they wouldn't come out to the teachers about abuse is because then the activities go away and you get ur parents in trouble. Universally no children want to get their parents in trouble even if their parents m-rdered someone.

When I was a kid I had 5 siblelings, and we lived in a 1 room apparment. I remember waking up multiple times to my parents doing "it" when I was 6-8 years old. To this day I have a hard time watching spicey scenes and even listening to the act(during movies). I am SO traumatized by it.Thank you layze for bringing it up. No kid should have to go though that.

@@Binkithetherianbe safe you have my eternal support.
My father was in the same situation, he lived in poverty before eventually immigrating to the US.
My Parents Never Even Kissed 😂
I have always HATED when parents have 10 kids and shove them all in an RV. And the parents get a huge bedroom…. while the kids get tiny COFFINS. The parents just think about themselves and THEIR dreams. While some of their kids sleep on the FLOOR. The kids don’t even get a bedroom. We children NEED bedrooms throughout our lives. As a teenager, I need to privately cry sometimes! We need our private spaces. Oh, and as an introvert, I need hours in a room alone to “recharge” from ANY human interaction! Meaning, I EVEN need a break from my FAMILY pretty often. I am so, so, so blessed that I have kind & considerate parents. I have my own room- and it’s incredible! I used to share with my sister, but now I have this room TO MYSELF! Such a divine blessing!!!
They're literally stacking their kids like sardines and continue to procreate. I feel so bad for those kids.

Imagine sleeping in the little bunk things, having a nightmare, and you bang your head against the top of it after waking up.
My grandad used to have to share a bed with his siblings back in the 1920's/ 1930's in London, because he lived in slums and was one of 8 children. I can't help but think about that every time I see a van life parent talk about how their kids share a bed. Don't do that if you don't have to, because some people don't have a choice and would give anything for their kids to have a better life.
Same ma grandma was 1 of 17 lol everybody share everything there was no money and no space i still dont get it but he they worked hard for it so why not
Man these parents dont just seem delusional but extremely selfish.
Agreed. Look at how the parents sleep in a bed, and a bunch of the kids are squished into TINY compartments to sleep in!
This probably will cause resentment from the kids very soon
Spoken like a person who has no children. Nothing that these parents are doing is delusional or selfish
@@thrumylenns2207
What the parents are doing is selfish
It's not like the parent are struggling financially in order to live like this.
They chose this lifestyle for themselves and kids.
The family with the casket type bed. They sold their house to travel. They often get upset stating the children get the smaller beds due to them [the parents] having to work.
Although they did change the bedding situation by giving them more room. They also like to video record any type punishment they might receive. Although its not corpal punishment. It is deeply upsetting to watch these kids be humiliated to thousands of people online. Remember kids don't stay kids forever, these kids will soon grow up and want their own space. Knowing their parent can afford it and possibly might resent them. Not only are these parent displaying a huge amount of the kids lives online but also the lack of privacy within the 'household' will affect the negatively. Not to mention that most of these van life vloggers are homeschooling their kids. Nothings wrong with homeschooling but they need to have at least a social life that is non combative with the parents wanting to keep moving.
@@thrumylenns2207 Also the parents who have a full on master bedroom while the children are crammed into shelves:
As someone who, as a child, had to live in a small RV with her mom and stepdad, I can tell you for sure that the parents having “alone time”, will leave those kids scarred for life. It’s not just the noise, RVs and campers shake very easily.😞
:( I’m so sorry
Nahhh 💀
LMAO 😭😭
Ugh
Absolutely not💀, So sorry u had to experience that😕
The kids in the sink and on the floor are probably jealous of those boys that had their own queen beds
Image hearing little timmies squeaker voice be like "Mom dad, stop FU*#$ING I AM TRYING TO SLEEP 🦅"
I don’t think these parents realize that kids grow. The ones with all those babies and a tiny van: what’s their five-year plan?
That’s what I’m thinking too: what’s happening when they’re all teens?!?!
💯
Becoming internet famous and having the fans pay for a bigger van, so they can pump out even more kids and continue like that.
My bet is that they will buy another van and have the teens drive it til they have a fleet of vans.
@@tylenol562 incepti-van!
Once those boys hit about 14, that's when the crazy growth hormones kick in. You suddenly start developing real height and muscle mass, and you start taking up a lot of room and you really need privacy. All kids need privacy once they reach a certain age. No teenage girl wants her whole family to know when she's having her period.
Even worse, imagine being a boy with a wet dream in this family...
Exactly
Or when the boy learns to experiment with his pee pee!

Family of 12 in a 30 ft trailor?!?!??
I do RV life with my husband we’ve been on the road for over 6 months. Loving it! We have a 27 ft toy hauler with a drop down ramp to make room for a lil patio. We have 2 medium sized dogs with us, a full size bed and a queen-and 2 couches with a cute lil kitchen, bathroom+shower. It’s the perfect size FOR TWO (2) PEOPLE
I went for a toy hauler because of the floor space and open lay out. A normal sprinter van or early 9s model RVs would be far too cramped for the 4 of us and even in a 27 ft camper with 2 adults, it still has its occasional moments of feeling TOO SMALL!!!
sure I got lucky with a huge open space layout because a lot of rvs and vans have 0 floor space!! And it’s all cluttered with cabinets. I’m so thankful for the home I have now but the idea of 12 KIDS in a trailor only 3 ft longer than my current home, IS FUCKING INSANE???? like bro how????
yep. I commented I don't ever have a problem with the sleeping spaces for the kids. I have a problem with the LIVING spaces. These kids have nowhere to live. As you pointed out the living room is tiny.
The poor kids can't even stretch out while they sleep.
Imagine having a nightmare and sitting up fast and banking your head
Yeah, they probably wake up feeling so stiff 😢😢😢
Waking up at 3am to find a sibling taking a pee must be fun...🥀
children can't stretch, but parents are perfectly able to reproduce in these conditions. I wonder how they do it
I’m Catholic, but whenever I see large families with biblical names. I know something weird is going on. The first family is proof
Yeah this seems cultish very not Christian to not give your children the necessary they need that you can afford
The boys same to be named after biblical figures and the girls aren’t.
Plus that family makes all of them play violins and contrabass etc. I can’t possibly imagine they all chose that
Yup some type of IBLP Cult

I’m having a hard time explaining how this isn’t some form of child neglect.
I find it hilarious how there are some people defending this. Adults who do it to their own children and their children LOVE it. 🙄
It is. Maybe that's why they live in a van. They leave the state before CPS catches wind of them. That's an additional problem with homeschooling its much easier to hide abuse.
my son and i live in an RV but he gets the bedroom all to himself, i'm not gonna make him sleep on the couch. kids need some form of privacy and a place that they can retreat to to just breathe and be alone, it's so important for their mental development! i couldn't imagine having all those babies in a VAN like that, how does that mom not want to rip her hair out from stress??

I'm also the type to have sleep and focus difficulties, and pace around and move a lot when that happens
The van life is for single people or couples, not for families. The parents need privacy, but the kids too ! Each kid should have their own room.
The parents need privacy for very obvious reasons. And once a kid becomes a teen it's important that they have their own private place.
Well you can have a few children like maybe 2 or 3 but 10?!
I truly believe that anyone with over 10 kids are terrible parents and just have some sort of breeding k*nk
Yeah I'm a huge proponent of van life for single people and couples that can handle that small amount of space but holy cow subjecting kids to that is abuse. I've also seen way too many videos of people with a young child and it's obvious they haven't considered the child growing up and getting bigger, that small cot they're showing now is not gonna work when they a tween/teenager
no fr I feel so bad for that one older teen boy on the floor and the girls who looked around puberty age. Imagine dealing with all the puberty struggles while cramped in next to, or out in the open near ur other siblings. Ain't no privacy for NUTHIN!!!
Each kid their own room is a slightly privileged opinion tbh. Ideally, yes, at least Teenagers should have the privacy of their own room, or at least the chance to have extended alone time in the home.
Those kids can’t - you are insinuating it yourself - develop a healthy relationship to their own body or a healthy sexuality. If those guys ever get caught masturbating in a public space, you know why!

i used to live in an camper, a vintage one. i had a loft above the drivers seats. it was my parents, me, and our dog, isabella. the loft was actually pretty tall, and spacious. i got lucky. i was like 4-6 anyway, and sometimes needed help getting up and down. it was MUCH more comfortable than anything i've seen here, though.
Those kids are going to have terrible back problems from sleeping on the floor for extended periods of time
Sleeping on the floor is actually good for you cause your spine is straight, but still the kids deserve a bed
The kids absolutely deserve a bed but Asian people sleep on the floor and are really healthy
@@Samxd90 wrong. Ask any pediatrician and they will tell you it is not healthy to sleep on the floor. Thats where all of the bacteria and germs hangout for one thing.
I actually switched to floor/futon sleeping as an adult and my back has never been happier. The kids definitely deserve their own space though, sticking a kid on a bathroom or kitchen floor ain’t it.
Idk… I do agree that they need more space but as someone who has family in Africa, it’s not uncommon for my counsins to sleep on the same bed as their family. And if anything, it was kind of fun. The sense of community was really amazing despite what seemed like “poverty” and a “lower standard of living”, I was still very happy.

Sex is also intimate. Your children shouldn't bear witnesses to you sharing your most intimate moments with your partner.
Normalize sex without being living proof to your children. I know my parents had sex, but I, even as an adult, do not wish to see them engage in it. My parents being intimate is not something I wish to bear witness to. My parents ALSO do not wish me to be a witness to that.

The thing is when God told people to be fruitful and multiply he literally said it when no or few people were around from what I read so far in the Bible.

In the morning the entire bus is damp, full of everyone's bad breath and farts. Not to mention that my brother was conceived in it, with two little girls literally feet away
How do you feel about your parents? Do you feel living that way has affected you? Just curious but completely understand if you choose not to answer 😊.
@aliinwonderland656 I don't speak to either of them, we lived in a school bus because my dad was horrifically abusive to me and my siblings.
It was a way that he could literally run when the school eventually called CPS. I went to ten schools between Colorado and New Hampshire between kindergarten and fifth grade, when we moved back to his childhood hometown where all of the police and town officials were his old schoolmates and parents friends.
This situation is abusive, those kids have no stability or real relationships with anyone except their parents and siblings, regardless of the internet and social media.
In my experience they're being stored on shelves like little caterpillars that the parents are pupating, and when the girls emerge into their physical adulthood by menstruating they'll be paraded in front of the church authorities in order to find them proper suitors. They'll be married and pregnant before legally able but it's ok, their parents will give permission for their daughters to be married to older men, long time family friends who have know them their whole lives. "It's totally normal"
When my brothers began school they also went "full time RVing" for several years. My brothers were homeschooled, my dad decided that he would rather not register them. Too many mandated reporters in schools.
I'm so sorry you went through that. You deserved so much better. You deserved to feel safe.
@c471 thank you. I'm 52 years old and just now learning how to stand up for myself and respect my own feelings and needs. It's a conscious effort and I have to actively work against my "programming" every day.
Sleeping comfortably in a king sized bed helps..
Seeing it made in pretty sheets, nice blankets and comfortable pillows makes "child PhoenixFiremouse" so happy we make it up nice and tidy every day. (#FollowTheDopamine)
@@Faesharlyn Im glad to hear youre living a much better life
Children deserve a real home and a bedroom weather its shared or not!!! How dare these parents put their children through this!
Soft americans. It is ridiculous how spoiled americans are.
There is some serious misjudgment that even I fell for. The RV was temporary since they were moving but still they shouldn’t have made their kids public and make money off of them. And since they are religious God would judge them on that instead.
Me and my brother shared a room for a while even then we agreed that certain parts are for free use while if we want to be alone we either go to a different room or just stay on our bed hell I even got my bed in front of a small old tv we used to have kinda want to find it to jurryrig it back to life but eh I got a decent sized tv now and my own room but we at least knew hey let’s be glad we have a room even with roommates
you act like their treating them like damn animals, its just living in an rv. and sleeping on the floor if they want too, im pretty sure if they asked their parents if they can sleep in their bed with them they would probably say yes.
@@psychedelicpayroll5412which family?
the guy with the dogs has nothing wrong with him its just dogs and ngl that looks cozy af
“So Molly here is going to demonstrate how easy it is to get in the bunk” meanwhile little Molly here is just CLINGING for dear life-
I feel like it’s important to say that this is completely different for poor families who are forced to do this as they cannot afford an apartment or house
Yes, some people can’t afford to live in a house with private spaces for each of the kids. I understand and the housing market is a royal pain in the ass right now world-wide. But buying an RV, or even a small van requires a lot of money upfront, and these parents are choosing this lifestyle for their kids.
Usualy in poor families the parents get the best that they can have to they kids, in my culture (I'm not from usa) if the family have only one bedroom the parents prefer give they bedroom to they kids and sleep on living room. In those case they prefer put they kids sleeping on the floor than give they bed to them.
Exactly, it's a worse case scenario temporary situation to keep the family together while the parents quickly gets hit together
They don’t use their kids for content luckily
You’re so right. These poor by choice people are insulting the people who are going through real hardship.
I was raised in squalor for a certain chunk of my childhood. Abusive household with four other children in one apartment bedroom. WE STILL HAD MORE ROOM! This is sickening. No friends. Lonely. No privacy. No space.
I grew up kind of the same. It’s really affected me as an adult.
@@mikkayo same 100%. My family thinks it’s bs that it still effects me on a daily basis but they were never put into any kind of situation I was put into a a child…they just ignore it. It hurts so bad because it feels like that part of my childhood was stolen from me. Like I’ll never get that time back yk? Or my sanity
@@SpaceCase6669-myOf my partner and kids don’t understand either, I hope you’re ok!
@@mikkayo thank you! I hope you are too!
“We’re all going to be living in a coffin when we’re DEAD” ok buddy
I remember hearing my parents do it by accident one time at midnight and everytime I'm awake at midnight and knows they're awake as well, i always put on earbuds cause I'm scared I'll hear them do it again. I only heard them do it 1 time but for these poor kids to hear it multiple times, i really wonder how they must feel.
I'm from a low income immigrant household which can suck sometimes, but then when I see shit like this I'm thankful my parents somehow managed to buy an actual house and that I'm not crammed into an RV with 11 siblings all named McKayleigh because they were responsible and reasonable and stopped at 3.
Yeah I think three people is a pretty common number to stop at vs have 10 people, sleep in sinks, floors, and tables just so you parents can live a van life
LMAO MCKAYLEIGH 💀
Makayleigh, Mickaykeigh, Mackayla, Mackaylah, Mackayluh, Mick-K-La, Mack-Kay-La, Michaela, Mckayla, McKayla, Mikekaylah...
These parents are going to wonder why their kids will never talk to them again once they turn 18. 💀
“Mommy turn the air on” WHAT ☠️. 5:05 is the time stamp
The intro got my cracking up💀🙏🏼
Ur very underrated!
What about using the bathroom? Imagine at night trying to get down from some of those high beds and then standing in line like yyou just woke up on a long overnight flight . Those bathrooms usually aren't much bigger than airplane bathrooms because they are not meant to live in for 12 damn people.
Or what happens if there's a contagious stomach flu that gets passed around the family. Everyone gets a bucket?
Good lort, for real. And definitely in close quarters, every last one is getting sick at the same time
Hopefully they get to stay at campgrounds sometimes and get access to those bathrooms.
@@purriouscatThat's what the windows are for.
It is no different than living in a 3 bedroom, one bath home. What happens when a family of 5 gets the stomach bug? It must be nice that you are all able to have one bathroom per person in your home. Also, the bathrooms are quite large, not anywhere near the size of an airplane bathroom, unless of course you are in a 20 foot trailer or smaller.
Years ago, my three cousins and I went on a road trip with my Grandparents. We were all between 9 and 12. We slept in a tiny camper. The table turned into a bed where my grandparents slept, and ALL four of us kids slept in the tiny little bunk above it. It worked. We played outside all day and were so tired at night. We were kids, and we could sleep anywhere. I would have loved my own little coffin. 😂😂😂
That said, it was vacation. This is no way to house children full time.
Yeah, exactly, it can work for a bit, but their entire life? My heart breaks for these poor kids
From what I picked up, this isn't permanent. They lived that way temporarily as they moved across country.
in the future their is gonna be some sort of lawsuit on these parents
Guys calm down the coffins are aesthetic 😊😊
In these the parents get a king size bed and a walk in closet and the kids get to sleep in a used ashtray.
I couldn't image turning into a teen and going through puberty sleeping next to or just below my brother. Just seems unhealthy, personal space and boundaries are important.
Why? You must have been privaledged and not had to share a room with a sibling.
Teenage hormones. Teenage 'discovery'.(if ykyk) Significant others. Privacy. Its not being privileged, it's being respected enough to not live like a sardine
@laurahanners2833 I'm an only child but have lots of friends who had opposite sex siblings guess what they all have separate rooms because boundaries are normal and shows the parents had basic respect for them. One of mates shared a room with her sister till she was 14 then got her own room, their brother however always had his own room, to me that just sounds normal and should be unless you don't have any other choice.
@@laurahanners2833bro how r u supposed to masturbate if ur sibling is just 2 ft away from u
@eggs_uoy-7979 there is nothing wrong with having 2 brothers or sisters share a room. That is just your privilege speaking.
Ngl the floor is very comfortable
I have lived in a camper with 2 kids & a dog & it was super horrible & we hated it. It only lasted about 6 months& we could tell you some horror stories when it comes to using the bathroom, cooking, taking showers & so much more, not to mention we felt super cramped in it… never ever again!!!! It’s not a good time
At least one of those kids is an introvert who needs time away from others to recharge. 😢
It’s my worst nightmare to live that close with anyone
@@jordon4723Right? Especially college dorm rooms. They’re nightmarish to me for my introverted ass who yearns for privacy.
Humans can fit in coffins too... Still a coffin

My grandpa passed away two weeks ago. I think you're the first person to get a genuine laugh out of me. Thank you. 🙏
Hope she Rest In Peace :)
hugs
Condolences ❤️
I am so sorry for your loss
I am glad you had a laugh. May your Grandpa rest in peace.
