    I don't know if you guys feel this, but you both have grown so much in your marriage. You have identified what roles you want to have and are leaning into them so beautifully. Maya wanted to be more relaxed and allow Max to lead the family. And Max is doing that so well. Thank you for allowing us to see how to overcome challenges and build a wonderful marriage and family together. It's pretty special.

    Max is truly elevating. One thing about Maya is that you can’t put her in a box…
    I have literally watched you since I was a a teenager and to see you and now Max still living shameless is admirable and it inspires me to lift my head up after every video that you all post.

  • @Simplymejacinta
    @Simplymejacinta Год назад +23

    When Max was answering the question on the plane and speaking on gender roles and said “that it’s secondary when love is primary”, that’s a profound way to see it ❤.

    Your videos always have that added element of creativity and entertainment that isn’t always seen with other channels, you made a q&a so much more than a normal sit-down video, which was fun! Welcome back to Toronto, it’s going to be fun seeing you guys here!

  • @BellePoetesss

    What stands out to me about you two is your friendship and appreciation for each other. There is definitely affection between you two but in a way that you would know 2 friends want to be with each other but they “don’t want to ruin the friendship” 😂 if you understand what I’m saying. Vlogmas is really shining a light into seeing more of that. That you actually like each other. Maybe 2 vlogs ago when Max prepared the wine and you two were sitting on the couch that to me is an intimate moment and shows a lot, you don’t reject each other, but are all up in each others space with fondness. Vlogmas is wonderful. Keep up the great work.

    • @amaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
      @amaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Год назад +3

      Totally agree with this! I did wonder about their dynamic so it’s good context to know that maya doesn’t like PDA, and it’s great seeing them both being more intimate and verbally appreciating each other

  • @wisdomspeaks2010

    Hi Max, Maya, Saga, and That Trick Jackie!! I just wanted to comment on the originality of your Vlogmas project. Vlogmas has been around for some time, and I'm sure your creative backgrounds influence the results here on YT...but each vlog has been unique and intentioned, not a simple arm length shot of you guys doing everything we ALL do. I especially appreciate the vulnerability of this Q&A video. The separate videos and focusing on the unique aspects of your individual lives out there: with work, Sweden's location, culture/family insight has made your Vlogmas stand out from what I've seen many RUclipsrs do over the years. The first enjoyable/orginal Vlogmas imo. No pressure, on the next days! Thanks for sharing! Merry Christmas and safe travels!

  • @n.g.l.
    @n.g.l. Год назад +22

    Y’all are crushing it with vlogmas ❤. Hope you’re all doing ok. I 100% get you with not knowing your mother’s dialect. That’s the same with my parents, and there’s not that many available resources to learn. But ironically children in my home country are not speaking their native tongue because it pays to speak English and have an American accent. 🤷🏽‍♀️

  • @Tia.K.C
    @Tia.K.C Год назад +10

    I loved how you talked about understanding your daughters hair. I’m a blasian and looking back my mom who is Hawaiian-Filipino did my hair better than I ever did it 😂. I always had cute hairstyles as a kid until I started doing my own hair and had no patience.
    My mom is a tough cookie and never talks/complains about what it was like to bring up mixed kids. My dad on the other hand has his own perspective. I would love to hear more on my mother’s story just like you are telling us yours.
    Thanks 🙏🏽 ❤

    • @broookehunter
      @broookehunter Год назад +1

      Hey, babygirl! I’m Brooke, and I’m Blasian, too! My mom is Filipina and my dad is Black. Our hair is beautiful and each of our own. 😍 I just wanted to say hi and let you know that you’re not alone out here! Love always ❤

  • @zucchinigreen
    @zucchinigreen Год назад +33

    I see the mixness coming through with Saga and her perpetual golden skin, it's beautiful.
    She might or will look completely different in a few years. My mom is black and Indian and my dad was Chinese. My eldest brother looked like a little Chinese boy with super straight hair for his first few years, and then he suddenly started looking like The Rock.
    My other brother looks completely Indian and I look black lol.
    So a better question might be, how do you think you'll handle kids who look completely different from each other should you have another one? ❤
    Wishing y'all love and light.

    Im black & my husband is Mexican, & I’m pregnant with our first child, a son! So I’m curious to see how all the interracial stuff turns out, & for him to have his own identity & experiences! 😍🙏🏿🩵

  • @MorganBritney
    @MorganBritney Год назад +19

    Loved the dissonance question! I feel very similar as a black and white mother who has a 1 year old child who is very white passing. I thought about it a lot the first few months and now I’m like who cares?! I’m her Mom and like you said it gives me a lot of perspective of what my white mother experienced with me. Nothing more beautiful than the blending of cultures and races.

    Max I love how you responded to the question about supporting maya. I totally get why that would be a point of contention or an insecurity, and I think that your answer showed so much strength! You and maya both have so much to offer and it’s amazing to see you working together and uplifting each other

    On the question about more kids let me just say….I’ve had (6, 2 sets of twins included) kids in my 20’s and now 2 in my 40’s (43 & 45) 2 yr old & 5 month old. I don’t regret it all. And there are more women these days having children in their 40’s. Not so uncommon anymore.

  • @tegabaahmedia
    @tegabaahmedia Год назад +3

    I always discuss how people and culture change with each generation and there is a picture of maya, her mom and saga that I bookmarked and I always bring it up to reiterate whatever point I am making.. it also leaves me fascinated by God and how creative he is…. Three people generations that don’t look alike!

  • @aez8
    @aez8 Год назад +12

    Hello Max, Maya, Saga and Jackie. Another insightful vlog. I can relate regarding the mxed issue. My mum is half Chinese/half Scottish and my Dad's Black Jamaican. I have a child with my ex, who is Ethiopian. I certainly get a lot of questions and looks.
    Also, how exciting for you two as parents, especially Saga for having her own seat.

    • @alemderege5252
      @alemderege5252 Год назад

      Oh wow, that’s really interesting. I’m Ethiopian myself and while I don’t have any kids from what I’ve observed Ethiopian genes often seem to be quite ‘weak’. For example, I have a cousin who is half Swedish half Ethiopian and while I wouldn’t say he’s white passing he looks nothing like his dark skin Ethiopian mother - people often mistake him for being East Asian or Latino. My cousin is married to a Chilean woman and they have a daughter around the same age as Saga - I wonder how she’ll navigate all the different aspects of her identity as she grows older

    It’s funny because you both go hand in hand maya you write that script and cast your actors and max you capture the vision that would be dope. Maya has been in the game for minute with no comparison or shade to maya I really am invested in seeing max grow. I’m really intrigued in seeing his work (we see it in small through the vlog edits) but on a whole because throughout this year we’ve seen him transition through different phases both happy and heartbreaking so to see him win is his creative work is and would be awesome. Your relationship and partnership was divinely orchestrated. ❤

    Faith makes you happy and ageless I think.

    As far as working for a big network goes, this sounds similar to Oprahs story. She wanted so badly to shoot the color purple and was willing to give up three years of vacations to do it. Then she met Steven Spielberg, saw that he owned his own studio, and had her lawyer help her to create harpo studio productions. And of course we all know how 25yrs later she created the OWN network. It’s beautiful you realized you need to and should be free to express yourself. I hope all your dreams come true 🌠.
