It’s so sad that parents do this to their children. They portray a perfect fun family life but behind the scenes it’s not at all and these poor kids grow up witnessing it all. The part about how the parents guilt the child and say it will be their fault if they go broke. That’s too much pressure for a child of any age to say that! These are the worst parents.
You can travel with kids, but they do need some stability. We travel in the summer and move into our condo in the winter. We are a family of three that travel in a 33' travel travel trailer. Our one has a bedroom, with a real bed, a real door, and their own bathroom. They have to use mom and dad's for shower. We homeschool, but damn! Kids need stability and the ability to sleep in a real bed and know they'll be somewhere longer than a week. Balance, man! Balance!
I'm a nomad with a RUclips channel and while I try to be as sincere as possible I sometimes tell my dog to behave before videos and I feel like if I had kids it would be too tempting to always be "on."
I heard a parent say that they do the RV life because they will live their lifes to the fullest. I think that you can that also in a normal home. When you can't be happy in a normal home, then is RV life not the solution for that.
It’s true! I do think that some families *could* do well, but pimping your kids out for content at the same time is going to end badly for the kids 🤷♀️
I don’t think it’s fair for kids to live like this permanently. The lack of space and lack of privacy, not to mention those that film them all the time.
I would hate living with one of these van life families. The lack of privacy would be hell… …and I also find it ridiculous that some of these couples have so many children despite how they live. I think I saw one van life family that had around ten or twelve kids. Just why…?
I honestly can’t imagine any child thriving in that type of environment!! I just picture my own kids who need stability and a safe home, school, constant friends, neighbors. It makes me so sad for these kids
I think some of us (many of us?) have an idea who that was, but out of respect to the minor currently living in hell, I will not mention names. I just think some vanlife parents spend a bit too much time making sure it looks like it’s all about the kids, when that’s clearly BS, as it’s really about Narcissa (also known as many vanlife mothers), and IT SHOWS. Looking back at older posts for some of these families, their children look f-ng terrified that they’re gonna say the wrong thing, which as a mum (and a human), just breaks my heart. 😢
My family goes on long day trips or a long weekend camping trip once or twice a year. To live in such tight spaces for an unknown amount of time would be mental. We need our space & privacy. I couldn't do that full time. The thought of it seems exhausting.
This is so terribly sad.WHO The HELLO do these RUclipsr vloggers think they are? Depriving their children of a normal halppy healthy and secure childhood.Makes my blood boil! Hope all`s well with you Ammy ,take care and have a lovely weekend xo
It'll take a few kids to come out like this but publicly OR something terrible to happen. Then we'll have laws. I hope nothing terrible happens and some brave kids can change everything when they come out with evidence.
I agree. Especially the ones like the fuller family that only make content about their sick kids. There's a couple families that have like 5 kids and each kid has a medical issue but seems fine and she'll be like oh you're running no Jimmy take it easy and come sit in your wheelchair and then say how his muscles aren't strong
Yea I agree! Add the blogging homeschooling and no privacy ? This is a mess …I wouldn’t do it with more than one child and maybe until pre school and no exploiting them! I would do it ONLY for a way to travel and explore and learn or when the kids go to college! I’m just so sick of parents going oooo RUclips kids $$$ makes me grrr
I'm not so concerned about the lack of space or the bunk beds. I did a lot of travelling before I had kids and stayed with lots of families and it seems to me that kids don't mind having little space or sharing their beds with siblings etc if they're used to it. When there is little space to play inside, outdoors becomes part of the home. I also used to have this romantic outlook on van life, just travelling wherever we want to go and having the kids grow up learning lots of languages and getting to know the world. Now I know even my 2 year old would hate it. Not because of the living conditions (they'd prefer we all sleep on the same mattress and kick eachother in the face all night) but because what they want most of all is stability. They want a monotonous, boring life with the same people and the same routine in the same place all the time. The whole vlogging thing is a nightmare of its own that I wasn't aware of until recently. I used to watch a few family vloggers before but now I don't want a single click of mine to be going towards these parents.
I agree Van Life families need to be canceled. I feel sorry for the kid who are stuck in those fake vlog family life style in a RV, their parents using them for fame and have no privacy
Close quarters are not necessarily a bad thing imo as long as the living environment is stable and the children have the ability to go outside and are able to be social w other children outside of their family. These families are constantly traveling which to me doesn’t seem very sustainable long term. I don’t think it’s healthy how these people are always away from a normal home. To me this kind of life would be a nightmare.
I agree with you, I live in a relatively small space with my kids and it works out well! Any more and it would be a nightmare 😂 the issue is the lack of stability always moving from pillar to post, and then being filmed the whole while doing it! X
This lifestyle should only be for people who don’t have children! OR i will even give an exception for doing it with ONE very young child like under 4 years old
Hey Ammy have you seen the fuller family.. the one with triplets that have medical problems. It's so weird, the mom acts like she has the sickest kids in the world and says she's making that kind of content because she doesn't see a lot of content like that... which obviously we shouldn't see because she's fully telling everyone her kids person medical history and it's just eerie and weird.. what do you think? I'd love to hear your opinion on that
"Its not child abuse" But every van live with parents i saw was basicaly "kingsize bed and room for parents while kids sleep on floor/coffins" Most have depression Like the Addison thing I cried, where is cps? Why does cps not arrest real crimes against children but wewooo to a man who worse a skirt (for a teaparty with hes daughter?) Like..... It makes me sick If you see van live vids with single/married people with no kids and a dog/cat you see a huge difference Like the lady with atlas and otto (rip we will miss you mew mew) You can smell the vibes from the screen like the single/married people with animals Vs the van live families Also family bloggers are horrible Like the only mom/dad vloggers that are good Are actual parenting tips without showing the children Idk if anyone else noticed while on shorts but i can "sense" The diference Like you feel that one person is evil and the other youd feel save around/be your friend
We are CONCIDERING van life. But we would like to have a rural base n home. So our girls have their base to go home to when needing space. Both our girls are neurodiverse, so do full-time with base and break would not be good for their mental health.
It's too articulate for Isabelle, unfortunately due to lack of schooling I just can't imagine her saying those words when she can barely string a sentence together any more. So sad really because those girls have so much potential.
The Channel cam and fam did a video she took her kids off RUclips and she said how fake it was and she just showed what she thought people wanted but behind the scenes it was a different story ,always chasing the next trend ,you start to stop living in reality ,I think it could be so many young people on RUclips because all family channels do the same rubbish to their kids 😢
Can we consider for a minute that just like everything in life, there’s MANY ways to do full time travel/van life/RV life? Can we also consider that just like everything else in this world, a lot of people are jumping to conclusions about something they really don’t know much about? We’ve lived full time in our RV with our 7 and 4 year old for almost a year now and it’s the best decision we’ve ever made. Our family is closer, we spend more time together, our boys have seen and experienced more in the past year than we have in our entire lives. Our seven year old finished his second grade curriculum early and started third grade curriculum already. Our boys are well adjusted and social with both other children and adults. Could they become anti social and not know how to function in society? Sure. But so could kids in typical schools who don’t have supportive families or who aren’t given opportunities. Every single “negative” in these comments can also apply to kids who live in houses and go to public schools, but aren’t given what they need by the people around them. It’s not about the material items these kids have or don’t have. It’s about the opportunities being presented to them and the intentional living which is provided by their parents. While building relationships with other kids their age is important, it is not the only way for a child to develop social skills and emotional intelligence. But what’s great is that you CAN have both, even with full time travel. It just looks different and that often scares people. Travel exposes children to different cultures, lifestyles, and ways of thinking, which helps them become more tolerant, accepting, and open-minded. It gives kids opportunities for adventure, independence, and self-discovery, which can boost their confidence, creativity, and resilience. Experiencing different environments and situations helps children learn problem-solving skills, adaptability, and resourcefulness. They learn how to navigate unfamiliar situations and develop a sense of curiosity and exploration. Building lifelong relationships with other kids is important, but there’s so many ways to fulfill that need, other than being forced to sit in a classroom with the same 25 kids for 180 days a year. Traveling and experiencing the world can also help children build meaningful relationships with people of all ages and backgrounds. They learn to communicate effectively, empathize with others, and develop a sense of community. People fear and knock what they don’t understand. So the same people in these comments who are most likely preaching “acceptance and tolerance” for people who choose to live some kind of “alternative” lifestyle are the same ones berating parents who live full time in their RVs and they’re forming their opinions from a few videos.
I think a lot of the comments have to do with the living arrangements. These kids in these videos are sleeping basically in "shelving" units while the parents sleep in a queen or king bed. Where do your kids sleep? Do you have them in the master bedroom of your RV? Do you and your husband sleep on the pull-out couch. Many people have commented about having grown up this way that they can hear their parents being intimate and it isn't even the sounds the RV/trailer rocks.
Honestly I would hate to live a van life. First world issues but I love a decent shower and privacy.
As much as some parts of van life sound fun, I could never do that to my pets, let alone kids.
It’s so sad that parents do this to their children. They portray a perfect fun family life but behind the scenes it’s not at all and these poor kids grow up witnessing it all. The part about how the parents guilt the child and say it will be their fault if they go broke. That’s too much pressure for a child of any age to say that! These are the worst parents.
I agree 😞 it’s truly saddening!
That is called manipulation.
DCP has said many times …the kids should not be feeling like they have the responsibility of earning the families money …that is the parents job 💯
Plain and simple - abuse

Have you seen the fuller family? Horrible mother posts all of her triplets medical info.. it's so weird
@@Whynotcreate No, I've not seen the fuller family. I won't watch any of them.
Ok...are these people posting in real time? Meaning...they share their exact location while they're there? That seems super dangerous.
I just wish family vloggers were monitored by CPS (S.S)
It'll take a few kids to come out like this but publicly OR something terrible to happen. Then we'll have laws. I hope nothing terrible happens and some brave kids can change everything when they come out with evidence.

No kids definitely mind not having their own space. It’s not right
As an adult I plan to move into a bus when my husband retires. I’d never force my kids to live in one.
I agree Van Life families need to be canceled. I feel sorry for the kid who are stuck in those fake vlog family life style in a RV, their parents using them for fame and have no privacy
I've seen a few comments like these before and I always think of Isabelle
Which van-family is it? Cause I've seen mainly only Nomads and they seem horrible.

I wonder how many people try and call child protective services on these peoples asses.
not enough clearly
5:31 I kinda agree it might be. Considering the issues the one child has had, so sad
In that first clip I swear the little kid in the bottom bed will get kicked if someone walks past as they are literally on the floor.

All these people who think they have the capacity to home school effectively... there's something of the Dunning-Krueger effect at work there I think.
What is the Dunning-Krueger effect?
Vanlife/rvlife bloggers is modern day child “actor” exploitation 😮used to be Mickey Mouse club and child actors in movies and tv, Hollywood 😢❤
"Its not child abuse"
But every van live with parents i saw was basicaly "kingsize bed and room for parents while kids sleep on floor/coffins"
Most have depression
Like the Addison thing
I cried, where is cps?
Why does cps not arrest real crimes against children but wewooo to a man who worse a skirt (for a teaparty with hes daughter?)
Like..... It makes me sick
If you see van live vids with single/married people with no kids and a dog/cat you see a huge difference
Like the lady with atlas and otto (rip we will miss you mew mew)
You can smell the vibes from the screen like the single/married people with animals
Vs the van live families
Also family bloggers are horrible
Like the only mom/dad vloggers that are good
Are actual parenting tips without showing the children
Idk if anyone else noticed while on shorts but i can "sense" The diference
Like you feel that one person is evil and the other youd feel save around/be your friend
We are CONCIDERING van life. But we would like to have a rural base n home. So our girls have their base to go home to when needing space. Both our girls are neurodiverse, so do full-time with base and break would not be good for their mental health.
The parents are at fault, not the RV lifestyle
I do agree. I’ve lived in small spaces (house boat etc) when I was younger but it’s different if your limited privacy is invaded by a camera x
Isabelle Ingram? Does sound a bit like IFAM to be honest....
😮
That’s what I thought!
I’m thinking that it would be, Esme, as she has mentioned acting and Ifam supported that fact for her.
It's too articulate for Isabelle, unfortunately due to lack of schooling I just can't imagine her saying those words when she can barely string a sentence together any more. So sad really because those girls have so much potential.

They dont travel full time though
They always away away now
