My little sister and I have a 17 year age gap, so I helped raise her & protected from a lot of things. She turns 13 in September and still plays with dolls, makes bracelets, and does not use social media. She volunteers at our city hall with veterans and the senior center; she's been in musicals and cheer. I'm very proud that she is still very sweet and wholesome. You are both doing such a great job and I feel confident that your influence on parents is extremely positive. Thank you!
Don’t worry too much about the set up (mics, sound, lighting etc ) We care about the conversation more than anything 😉 it looks and sound good already 👍🏻
I love how they talk to her like she is the age she is but also at the same time talking to her at such an adult intelligence level. She engages in the conversations so well. What a wonderful little girl! Mom and dad you’re doing awesome. I love how talkative dad is! I feel like it’s really rare to find a man that enjoys talking so much haha. Also, great job paying attention to the shows/movies before allowing her to watch them! Definitely not putting her in a bubble. Things have gotten way out of hand these days for our young generations. You’re doing awesome!
The fact they talk to her the way they do is probably exactly why she’s so articulate, she’s so freaking cute. Her parents definitely strike the right balance of speaking to her like she’s an adult but keeping it age appropriate. She seems to understand everything they’re saying but hasn’t lost her innocence
Thank you for being parents of a six year old and filtering/deciding what she should watch before she does. Love this. It’s not easy unless you commit and so hearing you just talk to Saylor about why you do it is wonderful. She will understand why you make your decisions about her life.
I do this with my 6yo too, and we always talk about what she watches so I can give more in depth explanations. I have an inquisitive daughter, so she always has follow up questions. 😂 Luckily, I too was an inquisitive daughter once, so I’ve collected a lot of explanations for things, so it works out. I also love how they explain things in a way that Saylor can understand, but they’re not dumbing anything down. I do the same. Kids are smarter than you think, and as long as you give them an age-appropriate response and keep it matter-of-fact, kids will get it. Parents sometimes overthink the response and end up saying “We’ll, er, talk about it later when you’re older.” That just builds curiosity and then they go seek the answers elsewhere. I just give an objective explanation. For example, when she was 3, she asked where do babies come from? I told my daughter the daddy gives the mommy some love, and the love makes the baby grow in the mommy’s tummy. Then, the baby comes out through the exit hole. 😊 Now, obviously there’s more to it than that, but that was enough of an explanation for her 3-year-old mind at the time.
im so glad you are speaking up about the ways we should protect our kids from not only corruption, but also messing up their brain patterns and attention.
Same! I think it’s very “on brand” for you guys to be holding the spatula mics. I listen to a ton of podcasts and can’t stand when there’s bad audio quality. I’ve listened on my phone, headphones, and bluetooth speaker and have had no problems with yours.
So happy you want to protect your kids innocence..you have to filter things because subconsciously they are taking in things and you never know how much it affects them until some sort of behaviour pops up..Good for you guys..keep them sweet and innocent as long as you can❤
I really like how chill mom is. 💙She reminds me a lot more of my friends with children than most of what I see on social media. I appreciate that you two are guarding your kids' innocence. I"ve seen some children's productions with literal adult jokes in them.
You guys are THE parents, like this is how all parents should strive to be. Atlas and Saylor are in good hands! and everyone deserves parents like you two✨
Absolutely love saylor. She’s so articulate, her expressions are priceless and her innocence is a treasure. She just makes me happy listening to her. What great parents. Too bad not all parents are like them.
I love that you openly speak up against all the “weird stuff” they put in kids movies nowadays and protect your kids from it; and how you proudly say that you want to protect their innocence at all cost. 10/10 love it
amazing poncast episode/conversation! literally so refreshing to hear your take on parenting, maintaining childhood innocence, homeschooling, handling covid craziness, etc. i have similar beliefs and values (but also agree with your non-judgemental mindset towards others). cheers to your lovely family, sending good vibes from chicago😎🫶☀️
I have been watching for a while, and I just wanted to share that I admire both of you and your parenting style so much. It is very reminiscent of, like you mentioned, the 90s way of growing up. And having grown up as a homeschooled kid in the 90s, I love it. I definitely remember all the funny reactions that people had when I told them and the “Shouldn’t you be in school?” comments lol. I was super shy, but I still had friends through Sunday School and homeschool groups/co-op classes. Whenever I see a kid glued to an iPad in public, it makes me really sad. My mom always had other things to distract us, like coloring books/drawing pads, books, etc, and we were content with that. I’m also all for the talk about the craziness of the last few years. Open that can of worms haha! I don’t have kids yet, but you both are huge inspirations for how I’d want to raise children. Keep it up and God Bless!
I love how you guys scan over what your kids watch before they can watch it. My parents were strict with my brother & I growing up with what we were allowed to watch. I’m always so surprised at what kids are allowed to watch these days. You guys are great parents ❤❤❤
I'm a behavior analyst and an so happy to hear you let Atlas throw his fit without any reinforcement! Also, if you're not already doing it, give Atlas a 10-second countdown on turning off his video. Pause it, tell him he has 10 more seconds, then turn it back on and count down out loud. The abrupt change of no warning can be tough, and though we may be discussing what we're doing next, the little ones aren't picking up on those cues if it's not specifically addressed to them.
I am so honored to witness your approach to parenting. Yes, I may have an old lady’s (82) perspective, the other day , I witnessed a young mother taking a walk with her two small children. She was on her phone! Wasn’t this an opportunity to interact with her children about what they were seeing on their walk. I just thought it was sad So keep up the good work. Yes, you both will make mistakes, but interacting with those precious children won’t be one of them ❤
you’re the same age as my grandma! i’m 28 and smartphones didn’t really become popular until i was in high school. i’m so happy we didn’t have them as kids because kids can’t understand when or why breaks from technology are important- and i have no shame saying it’s the parent’s fault! i see more adults glued to their phones than i see people my age. i see TODDLERS knowing how to get to youtube to watch “cocomelon” on an iphone. it’s so unsettling to see 😣
The conversation at 21:00!! I agree for sure! You two are doing an amazing job raising Saylor and Atlas. These debates are totally understandable but dont doubt yourselves! You got this❤️
Not going to lie, Sailor's sassiness, cuteness, & lil.attitude is the reason i watch your channel! Such a BEAUTIFUL family yall have, filled with auch cuteness i SWEAR!!!
As someone who's learned child development and is very invested in mental health, you guys are very very correct. These kids aren't learning to regulate when it's constant screen time...they need to learn to be in the moment with people. If they get upset, it's okay it's the process of teaching the kid to work through situations. iPad kids are - will become a phenomenon when they get older. Those parents are setting up their kids for failure... What you and your wife are doing with your kids is ideal and what people should be doing like their parents did and so on. Technology should be last in their choice and even then it should just be a passing thought. I would love to talk more about this 😆 it's one of my favorite subjects. Child development and technology
As a fellow book girlie I’d love a little Jaylin book-talk on Family Time. Maybe her top 3 favorites or some quick thoughts & a rating on her latest read?
i really appreciate how much you protect your kids. my parents gave me unrestricted access to the internet and i experienced a lot of damaging things. it makes me so happy to see how much u care
So many people are homeschooling now! Its just so hard to trust the public schools now...as a new mom to my 7 month old, we decided we want to homeschool. Public schools i just think about how my son would be exposed to other kids who can be so mean and show him things he shouldnt or say things he shouldnt hear...and how they are so unsafe nowadays...its a crazy world we are living in
Saylor cracks me up 😂 I’m sure you guys are entertained everyday with her commentary hahaha I love her imagination and the mind you both have helped mold ❤ she’s so funny 😂
I relate to you guys so much and love watching these conversations. We just started homeschooling my stepson. Kids are exposed to so much and the ‘traditional’ way is not always the best way for every kid or family. It’s so refreshing to watch content like this that is so down to earth and aligns with a lot of my personal beliefs. ✨ hard to find!
What u guys are sharing & talking about is sooooooooo refreshing & it really shows core values and having self-respect love and wanting to protect your children it’s very rare these days !! ❤God bless you guys 🙏🏼
I agree with you on the screening media on so many levels. Kids these days are exposed to so much that they shouldn't be thinking about at that age and even it seems like they don't understand, they are still influenced by it. Thank you for protecting them from all of the nasty stuff that goes on in our world today, I certainly plan on trying to do the same with my own kids one day
As a young guy without kids. It’s so important to shelter your kid to an extent that allows them to grow up. My kids will grow up outside on the farm, fishing, swimming, riding bikes:
It warms my heart hearing how u both parent! You're doing things right! My husband and I feel the same way as you both. Kids should be Kids and it's up to us adults to protect them.
I love this family, I love the setup and I especially LOVE the Spatula Mics! Jaylin and Zeth, you are the type of parents that every child deserves and the parents I wish I had.
Zeth, i SO appreciate your care in raising your daughter - the entertainment/media world IS a crazy, scary place. When I first started seeing your shorts a year or more ago, I thought they were very cute and I also had you pegged for a rather liberal, progressive thinking guy from cali. Now that I’m watching your long form videos, I am so so happy to see your values come through in your content. Good job protecting your kids from weird messaging in movies and shows! Good job moving your family out of crazy California land!! Good job choosing homeschool!!! Respect. God bless.
I’m not a parent, but there’s something to be said about no iPads. I grew up with very little technology, as an only child, with a single mom. I had no choice but to play by myself or figure out how to entertain myself. & now as an adult, I’m not easily bored and I find anything to be enjoyable!
lol we live your videos no matter the mistakes!!! That’s what gives it the authenticity. Y’all are wonderful and have come so far and can’t wait to see y’all go even further!
I love how careful you guys are with your kids entertainment, and iPad, etc. We have a 1 yr old and we are trying to do the same, also living in SW Florida! Sending lots of love your way! ❤
52:15 you’re saying WHAT WE ARE ALL THINKING!!! We have to speak our minds and point out the ridiculousness.. tons of people are brainwashed ❤️ you guys are so real and genuine and I feel like you will help others come to sense
Please consider another perspective that masks/mask wearing existed even before 2020. I had a loved one whose health was in poor condition so he had to wear a mask 24/7. I had a family member undergoing cancer treatments and if everyone wanted to be around them we all had to wear masks cause their immune system was very low. This meant wearing a mask in public if I wanted to protect their health. I wouldn’t say brainwashed, more like people have their own personal autonomy and just like people choose to not wear one, some may choose to do so 🤷🏻♀️
Zeth it works fine how you do these podcasts so your equipment must work your doing fine good work. It’s good to hear you don’t pander to the kids with iPads etc and tramtrums are not pandered to more of this is needed because you also love and spend quality time great parenting .❤️❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Jaylin should totally smooch Zeth! lol And Zeth, speak your mind!! Don’t worry about what people have to say. Be who you are, it’s refreshing to see someone speak their mind without tip toeing around things
Please take Sailor to see a professional mermaid! They exist in Florida, do intense training to swim and interact with you through a glass while they’re under water, and it’s magical for kids. I’d love to see Sailor’s reaction lol. And then just so you know, I had a practicing therapist as a college professor who said that Inside Out is a valuable tool to teach kids how emotions work and build emotional intelligence. So hopefully you guys like the second one and are able to show Sailor! ❤
I’m from the East coast and have never heard of transitional kindergarten. I have heard of preschool, perhaps it’s the same. My area the cut off is September 30. So to enter kinder, you need to turn 5 before September 30. I’m a September birthday so I started Kinder at 4 and quickly turned 5.
I think it’s GREAT that you guys are so young still and just able to dream big and go after whatever you want to do. Don’t procrastinate! But please, PLEASE stay as real as you are! And may I suggest lower southern Michigan? Not that much snowfall, Lake Michigan to the west, there is a lot of farmland- especially Amish and Mennonite farms - and Michigan’s Upper Peninsula is stunningly beautiful! You’ve got summer and winter sports, Michigan International Speedway, Lions, Tigers, U of M, MSU, and you’re SO close to Indy!
I've been enjoying family time episodes so much! I've always wanted to hear more from you and Jaylin. And the fact that there is no pressure on the kids to be there full time is just how it should be ❤
Love seeing younger families choosing to homeschool! I homeschooled my 12 and 14 from the beginning, but I have older kids in their 20s that were public schooled. And, for being socially awkward- most if the adults I know are soooo socially awkward 🤣🤣 excited to see what’s in store for your beautiful family 💕
What a refreshing thing, to hear you call out that these kids movies are not made for kids! I knew I loved u. I’ve always said you’re some of the most real and wholesome content. Thank you!
Love that yall aren’t afraid to speak your mind and share your values. It’s so needed in these current times and you’d be surprised at how many of us parents feel the same exact way!
As a mom of a 4 year old, this is SO inspiring. Thank you for the messages you guys share & values you’re instilling ❤️ #1 podcast. Feels like you guys are my friends 😂 just chilling & chatting
i'm totally with you on how you parent your children, im 30 & not had children of my own yet but i plan on being the exact same way. I don't want the rubbish thats online poluting my child whatsoever! I remember playing with my barbies till i was like 14 years old and kids now are more invested in their skincare which boggles my mind!
41:12 this is an exact depiction of my life in Finland, Europe, where the temperatures get to -30°C in the winter. It’s so normal to me and I really feel ALIVE in the winter! I love putting on all my layers, winter gear including snow boots with spikes in the soles so I won’t slip on the ice😂 And then heading out and feeling so prepared and warm and just enjoying the crisp winter air❤️ Hearing her say that was a neat realization, I never thought that my life could be thought as ”extreme”. In the summer I feel depressed because there’s less ”surviving” and more free time lol
Fellow native California that moved to Florida when I was 13 and when you brought up soup plantation my eyes lit up 😍 that was my favorite back in SoCal growing up, got to get a better look into how ya’ll think with this podcast and i resonate to the fullest with both of you. You’re my type of people! In this day and age we need more people who don’t censor themselves so I appreciate your honesty and opening up :) my husband and I don’t have any kids unfortunately but something about your family I have always been gravitated towards, I love this new podcast with you 2 especially and look forward to all episodes 🎉
I love seeing people with like minds. No one around me has the same view on children that I do and it makes me flat out not want kids. You are so right about the constant dopamine thing and the only person I’ve ever heard say that besides myself. These kids are being raised to need constant stimulation for the rest of their lives.
I just wanna say I Love it!!! This was super cute n I love the whole atmosphere of it!! I really do hope you continue with doing this type of setup and candid conversations!! It really opens up to who you guys are n lets us get to know you both better!!
We don’t have kids yet, but my boyfriend and I think about this all the time. And I really appreciate your approach to screening Saylor’s media consumption, and it’s refreshing to hear people actually acknowledge how scary it is
I agree with filtering the content kids watch. Content shapes kids minds by giving them a skewed view of what is important, how people are treated, and other social norms. Hannah Montana storylines revolving around boy crushes just promotes this idea to little kids that a girls' worth and goal in life is to be associated with a boy. Content "influences" our thinking on what to buy, how we should look, how we should treat people in a way that is so different and unattainable than what is presented in real life. If kids experience more people through social media than real interactions, their perception of people and society will be weighted by the presentation of those on social media. 10 year-olds in Sephora are a prime example of how dangerous screen time is for young brains.
What you’re describing of how you’re raising saylor is exactly the issue with parents and developing kids these days. All the people asking how to get a kid like saylor and noticing how she’s so wonderful in all her ways, this is it. I don’t have kids yet but I’ve felt lost with the way that everyone’s been parenting lately, this gives me hope and a better idea of the direction I want to go.
You two are amazing young parents. My 8 year old granddaughter has had an iPad her entire life and she is way too grown up now 😢. It’s very sad and I just want you to know that what you’re doing for your children is amazing and will positively affect their entire lives. Take it from this old lady that was raising her kids in the 90’s/early 2000’s and I see the craziness of raising kids nowadays.
my sis-in-law is raising a borderline psychopath who smashes her brothers head into coffee tables and will pridefully watch him cry hysterically. my SIL always responds to bad behavior with, “we will go home if you don’t stop”. when I see videos of children like this, it brings joy to see what can happen when you raise your child correctly. saylor makes me believe in having children again.
You two are doing a PHENOMENAL job!!! It’s important to protect your child’s innocence - this world is full of vile things & our kids are continuously targets. Homeschooling is the way as of late because these public school systems are pure poison.
I have a niece that was very similar to Sayler at her age ! She's finished grade 11 soon, and doing very well at yhe top of her class ! Very proud of her ! I shared a video of yous with her a few years back. She loved it !
Bob Marley, rebelution, iration, slightly stoopid, tribal seeds, pepper good jams!!! Back in the day 311, sublime, incubus, temple of the dog heck yeah man you guys rock!!
I don't have children yet but I'm very impressed with your parenting values. The iPad for example is a big thing for me. There are so many children being raised by their iPads and I'm interested to see how they will fair as adults. I know that I don't want my children to have iPads. I never gave much thought to screening kids shows but thinking about it now, there's so many innuendos in shows that it's definitely something I'll do. I'd be interested to know how you navigate going to the cinema or moments where someone else is babysitting. I guess you can't shelter them from everything but it's an interesting topic.
Huge applause for screening the content Saylor watches❤”Six year old should not worry about certain stuff” - exactly.
Yesss, my parents didnt. I knew things i shouldnt when i was little.

I have missed Saylor… nice to see your family this morning, she’s beautiful and still so brilliant!!!❤I love her, and wonderful daddy.
So many people are homeschooling now! Its just so hard to trust the public schools now...as a new mom to my 7 month old, we decided we want to homeschool. Public schools i just think about how my son would be exposed to other kids who can be so mean and show him things he shouldnt or say things he shouldnt hear...and how they are so unsafe nowadays...its a crazy world we are living in
Saylor cracks me up 😂 I’m sure you guys are entertained everyday with her commentary hahaha I love her imagination and the mind you both have helped mold ❤ she’s so funny 😂
I relate to you guys so much and love watching these conversations. We just started homeschooling my stepson. Kids are exposed to so much and the ‘traditional’ way is not always the best way for every kid or family. It’s so refreshing to watch content like this that is so down to earth and aligns with a lot of my personal beliefs. ✨ hard to find!
What u guys are sharing & talking about is sooooooooo refreshing & it really shows core values and having self-respect love and wanting to protect your children it’s very rare these days !! ❤God bless you guys 🙏🏼
I agree with you on the screening media on so many levels. Kids these days are exposed to so much that they shouldn't be thinking about at that age and even it seems like they don't understand, they are still influenced by it. Thank you for protecting them from all of the nasty stuff that goes on in our world today, I certainly plan on trying to do the same with my own kids one day
As a young guy without kids. It’s so important to shelter your kid to an extent that allows them to grow up. My kids will grow up outside on the farm, fishing, swimming, riding bikes:
It warms my heart hearing how u both parent! You're doing things right!
My husband and I feel the same way as you both. Kids should be Kids and it's up to us adults to protect them.
Gardening and growing your own veggies is pretty cool ! Fresh food grown by yourselves is so much healthier. Florida has gators and crazy snakes !
I love this family, I love the setup and I especially LOVE the Spatula Mics! Jaylin and Zeth, you are the type of parents that every child deserves and the parents I wish I had.
we’re enjoying the moment too! thanks for making Monday better! and happy belated father’s day!
Jaylin please share your experience homeschooling, it's such an amazing topic
Zeth, i SO appreciate your care in raising your daughter - the entertainment/media world IS a crazy, scary place. When I first started seeing your shorts a year or more ago, I thought they were very cute and I also had you pegged for a rather liberal, progressive thinking guy from cali. Now that I’m watching your long form videos, I am so so happy to see your values come through in your content. Good job protecting your kids from weird messaging in movies and shows! Good job moving your family out of crazy California land!! Good job choosing homeschool!!! Respect. God bless.
I really like this poncast. Good for you Zeth for speaking up. You have a voice too.
Big love to you Bro.
Poncast 😂
I’m not a parent, but there’s something to be said about no iPads. I grew up with very little technology, as an only child, with a single mom. I had no choice but to play by myself or figure out how to entertain myself. & now as an adult, I’m not easily bored and I find anything to be enjoyable!
lol we live your videos no matter the mistakes!!! That’s what gives it the authenticity. Y’all are wonderful and have come so far and can’t wait to see y’all go even further!
I love how careful you guys are with your kids entertainment, and iPad, etc. We have a 1 yr old and we are trying to do the same, also living in SW Florida!
Sending lots of love your way! ❤
You guys rock, so many people are in the same boat and have similar views! Keep doing what you're doing, love is all that matters
omg i just love her different expressions all throughout the video😭👏💗
52:15 you’re saying WHAT WE ARE ALL THINKING!!! We have to speak our minds and point out the ridiculousness.. tons of people are brainwashed ❤️ you guys are so real and genuine and I feel like you will help others come to sense
Please consider another perspective that masks/mask wearing existed even before 2020. I had a loved one whose health was in poor condition so he had to wear a mask 24/7. I had a family member undergoing cancer treatments and if everyone wanted to be around them we all had to wear masks cause their immune system was very low. This meant wearing a mask in public if I wanted to protect their health. I wouldn’t say brainwashed, more like people have their own personal autonomy and just like people choose to not wear one, some may choose to do so 🤷🏻♀️
The vibes with you both and saylors are so 😍 amazing!!!! 🤩😍🤩
Zeth it works fine how you do these podcasts so your equipment must work your doing fine good work. It’s good to hear you don’t pander to the kids with iPads etc and tramtrums are not pandered to more of this is needed because you also love and spend quality time great parenting .❤️❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Doesn’t wanna talk about grown up stuff then hits us with ✨mirage✨
These convos just make me feel like we'd be best friends lol
Hahaha “imagine the life we could live Jaylin” 😂 trying to get her to be the next ice spice. Yall are cute 😂❤
Shout out to you Zeth for being aware of what’s going on in the world and being vocal about it. Love that you’re being authentic.
It's a perfect set up. Love the spatulas.😊
Jaylin should totally smooch Zeth! lol And Zeth, speak your mind!! Don’t worry about what people have to say. Be who you are, it’s refreshing to see someone speak their mind without tip toeing around things
Please take Sailor to see a professional mermaid! They exist in Florida, do intense training to swim and interact with you through a glass while they’re under water, and it’s magical for kids. I’d love to see Sailor’s reaction lol. And then just so you know, I had a practicing therapist as a college professor who said that Inside Out is a valuable tool to teach kids how emotions work and build emotional intelligence. So hopefully you guys like the second one and are able to show Sailor! ❤
Guess what.. Weeki Wachee Springs State Park has *real" mermaids, and it's in Florida! 😉
That’d be so cute if they took Saylor there and she got to swim with the mermaids!!! Isn’t it in Hiawassee??
I’m from the East coast and have never heard of transitional kindergarten. I have heard of preschool, perhaps it’s the same. My area the cut off is September 30. So to enter kinder, you need to turn 5 before September 30. I’m a September birthday so I started Kinder at 4 and quickly turned 5.
I love this channel more and more. Thank you for sharing such a real conversation 🤘
I think it’s GREAT that you guys are so young still and just able to dream big and go after whatever you want to do. Don’t procrastinate! But please, PLEASE stay as real as you are!
And may I suggest lower southern Michigan? Not that much snowfall, Lake Michigan to the west, there is a lot of farmland- especially Amish and Mennonite farms - and Michigan’s Upper Peninsula is stunningly beautiful! You’ve got summer and winter sports, Michigan International Speedway, Lions, Tigers, U of M, MSU, and you’re SO close to Indy!
I love "dry thunder"
I used to call it "heat lightening" when I was a kiddo
I've been enjoying family time episodes so much! I've always wanted to hear more from you and Jaylin. And the fact that there is no pressure on the kids to be there full time is just how it should be ❤
Love seeing younger families choosing to homeschool! I homeschooled my 12 and 14 from the beginning, but I have older kids in their 20s that were public schooled. And, for being socially awkward- most if the adults I know are soooo socially awkward 🤣🤣 excited to see what’s in store for your beautiful family 💕
What a refreshing thing, to hear you call out that these kids movies are not made for kids! I knew I loved u. I’ve always said you’re some of the most real and wholesome content. Thank you!
Can you give some examples of the movies to look out for??
Love that yall aren’t afraid to speak your mind and share your values. It’s so needed in these current times and you’d be surprised at how many of us parents feel the same exact way!
As a mom of a 4 year old, this is SO inspiring. Thank you for the messages you guys share & values you’re instilling ❤️ #1 podcast. Feels like you guys are my friends 😂 just chilling & chatting
52:30 1000% Be you! We love that you ARE authentic
i'm totally with you on how you parent your children, im 30 & not had children of my own yet but i plan on being the exact same way. I don't want the rubbish thats online poluting my child whatsoever! I remember playing with my barbies till i was like 14 years old and kids now are more invested in their skincare which boggles my mind!
Couldn’t agree more! 💯
41:12 this is an exact depiction of my life in Finland, Europe, where the temperatures get to -30°C in the winter. It’s so normal to me and I really feel ALIVE in the winter! I love putting on all my layers, winter gear including snow boots with spikes in the soles so I won’t slip on the ice😂 And then heading out and feeling so prepared and warm and just enjoying the crisp winter air❤️ Hearing her say that was a neat realization, I never thought that my life could be thought as ”extreme”. In the summer I feel depressed because there’s less ”surviving” and more free time lol
It’s -22°F btw :)
Fellow native California that moved to Florida when I was 13 and when you brought up soup plantation my eyes lit up 😍 that was my favorite back in SoCal growing up,
got to get a better look into how ya’ll think with this podcast and i resonate to the fullest with both of you. You’re my type of people! In this day and age we need more people who don’t censor themselves so I appreciate your honesty and opening up :) my husband and I don’t have any kids unfortunately but something about your family I have always been gravitated towards, I love this new podcast with you 2 especially and look forward to all episodes 🎉
OMG Jaylin..I’m the exact same way..EVERY THING has a place and everyone should know where it goes lol 💜
Never filter yourself! We watch you because you’re genuine!
20:44 can't agree more!! I really resonate w this thought process.
I love seeing people with like minds. No one around me has the same view on children that I do and it makes me flat out not want kids. You are so right about the constant dopamine thing and the only person I’ve ever heard say that besides myself. These kids are being raised to need constant stimulation for the rest of their lives.
“Are You talking smack about my ages?” 😂😂
Important to always monitor what our children are watching, listening to these days! etc...just not safe any more. I totally agree with your rules 👍❤️
I just wanna say I Love it!!! This was super cute n I love the whole atmosphere of it!! I really do hope you continue with doing this type of setup and candid conversations!! It really opens up to who you guys are n lets us get to know you both better!!
U guys are great parents. Gives me so much hope for our future. This content really matters. Thank u.
We don’t have kids yet, but my boyfriend and I think about this all the time. And I really appreciate your approach to screening Saylor’s media consumption, and it’s refreshing to hear people actually acknowledge how scary it is
Just love saylor. So articulate and her incredible thoughts so sweet.
I agree with filtering the content kids watch. Content shapes kids minds by giving them a skewed view of what is important, how people are treated, and other social norms. Hannah Montana storylines revolving around boy crushes just promotes this idea to little kids that a girls' worth and goal in life is to be associated with a boy. Content "influences" our thinking on what to buy, how we should look, how we should treat people in a way that is so different and unattainable than what is presented in real life. If kids experience more people through social media than real interactions, their perception of people and society will be weighted by the presentation of those on social media.
10 year-olds in Sephora are a prime example of how dangerous screen time is for young brains.
This is spot on!!
What you’re describing of how you’re raising saylor is exactly the issue with parents and developing kids these days. All the people asking how to get a kid like saylor and noticing how she’s so wonderful in all her ways, this is it. I don’t have kids yet but I’ve felt lost with the way that everyone’s been parenting lately, this gives me hope and a better idea of the direction I want to go.
You two are amazing young parents. My 8 year old granddaughter has had an iPad her entire life and she is way too grown up now 😢. It’s very sad and I just want you to know that what you’re doing for your children is amazing and will positively affect their entire lives. Take it from this old lady that was raising her kids in the 90’s/early 2000’s and I see the craziness of raising kids nowadays.
my sis-in-law is raising a borderline psychopath who smashes her brothers head into coffee tables and will pridefully watch him cry hysterically. my SIL always responds to bad behavior with, “we will go home if you don’t stop”. when I see videos of children like this, it brings joy to see what can happen when you raise your child correctly. saylor makes me believe in having children again.
You two are doing a PHENOMENAL job!!! It’s important to protect your child’s innocence - this world is full of vile things & our kids are continuously targets. Homeschooling is the way as of late because these public school systems are pure poison.
I have a niece that was very similar to Sayler at her age ! She's finished grade 11 soon, and doing very well at yhe top of her class ! Very proud of her ! I shared a video of yous with her a few years back. She loved it !
Souplantation is called Sweet Tomatoes in Florida. It's like Carl's Jr. and Hardees
“Everything in this house has a spot.” Girl, I function like you! 😂
mom losing it at “dad that’s not ALL i care about. I also like dragons!” 😂😂😂
Bob Marley, rebelution, iration, slightly stoopid, tribal seeds, pepper good jams!!! Back in the day 311, sublime, incubus, temple of the dog heck yeah man you guys rock!!
That’s why I love u guys cause it is just natural, and I love the mics and poncats😊
I don't have children yet but I'm very impressed with your parenting values. The iPad for example is a big thing for me. There are so many children being raised by their iPads and I'm interested to see how they will fair as adults. I know that I don't want my children to have iPads. I never gave much thought to screening kids shows but thinking about it now, there's so many innuendos in shows that it's definitely something I'll do.
I'd be interested to know how you navigate going to the cinema or moments where someone else is babysitting. I guess you can't shelter them from everything but it's an interesting topic.
