I LOVE that someone is talking louder about the Joy's of children and motherhood instead of the negative aspects. It's nice for expecting moms to actually hear the uplifting parts💕
Yes!!! I remember when I was pregnant I only heard the negatives and the “wait til she.....” Now my baby is close to a year old and still that’s what I hear “your home is gonna be messy with toys” “oh let’s see what you have to move around your home because she’s gonna want to break everything “ I’m like really? Ugh
Aaaww! Maybe it’s because they know hard days will also come and they don’t want you to feel alone? Or they just complain too much? 🤣 There are very hard days but I LOVE motherhood. My little boy is 17 months and it’s been the best part of my life by far.
@@adrianal3al when I told my friends that me and my partner want to start a family they were the same. "Oh you will never sleep again, your house will be a mess....wait until this and that happens. Not sure if they want sympathy for their struggle or think that I'm stupid or naive, but it's a disheartening thing to do. Loved this video so much because it highlighted good things about being a parent.
I don’t have any children but this whole video had me fighting back tears. This is exactly why I know with every fiber of my being that my calling in life is to be a mother. While it breaks my heart that it hasn’t happened yet I know that children will come into my life at the exact moment they are destined to.
I was there girl! My husband, after we were married, changed his mind and didn't think he wanted kids. I've known since childhood that raising and caring for a family was all I wanted. I tried to accept that my life could be without children and i couldn't so we rarely talked about it. After 5 years of trying to accept what he wanted, I went to a job interview and they asked where I saw myself in 5 years and i said without thinking that I wanted to be home with my children and homeschool them. Obviously didn't get the job but it really put into perspective that I did know what my role was in this world and what I wanted in my heart more than anything. So I laid out my 5 year plan to make having kids financially possible and I shared that with my husband. And I knew I couldn't convince him because this desire was a feeling that you can't logically convince someone if. So I gave it to God and I asked a few friends to be praying with me. I prayed everyday that He would open my husband's heart to understand this feeling. I prayed God would put a burning passion in his heart to use his talents to glorify God. And I asked God to use me however I could be used to shine His light to the world. Within a few months everything came together and he really had a change of heart. I can't even express how happy I was when he told me he wants kids now. It's been about 1.5 years since then and our little girl should be arriving any day now. Take heart, be patient, and protest to God everyday. He is loving and as I reminded myself when I felt low and doubtful that things would change: I know this is what I was made for. This is the strongest desire in my heart. I will be dutiful and faithful to God and his commandments he has asked of me. He wants good for me and loves me more than I can comprehend. He will not leave me barren. Even if I'm as old as Sarah, God will bless my womb.
Jessica McElroy I had a similar talk to my SO right before we got engaged. He was terrified of having kids cus he didn’t want to be a bad dad and mess then up like so many do. He didn’t realize that the level of care and concern he had for providing a wonderful life to a child was proof that he wouldn’t be a screw up. I have accepted that if biological children are not in our plan that we will adopt. He was adopted so he fully understands that decision. I’m so happy to hear you have been blessed and your baby girl will bring so much light into your life.
My children won’t remember my weight, my messy hair days, if I accidentally burnt dinner, or the days I’m a little grouchier than I should’ve been... They will remember that mommy told the best stories. That no matter what, I was always there! That cuddle time was my favorite. ❤️ We were made for our babies, and they for us.
Yes, this one is so true!!! For them and for us!! I have only had one chunk of a few months of solid sleep in the last 4 years! That was between my kids when my eldest slept through at 9-14 months. That was it and he started not sleeping again, then enter baby number two who has slept only a few nights in his 2 years, which always coincided with bad dreams from the other.
My daughter has taught me that I’m good enough - when I feel crappy or insecure, her looking up to me with love just shows me that my parenting is good enough for her and it just gives me confidence. She’s taught me lots of patience and the meaning of unconditional and infinite love.
I learned to rethink all the things that have the "that's how it's done" stamp. It does not have to be a strict way to do things ot to see things. Children have this unique vision. I am now bending down to see how they see the world.
Thank you for this. I was so scared when I found out I was pregnant. Around that time a person who matters so much to me said that I would never be able to raise someone. That broke me in infinite pieces. A month later I was pregnant. And 22 yrs old, in a serious and stable relationship, which helped me so much through it all. I found your channel months ago and thanks to you I switched my perspective to one of excitement, connection, love. I'm due in 9 weeks, my father is the pediatrician. I'm so thankful to God for this opportunity to be a mom. I don't think my life could've gone any better than this. I send you so much love and all my gratitude because you helped me heal deep wounds. God bless you, from México.
I'm so sorry someone said that to you, that's awful... I had my baby at 22 (I'm only 23 now) and now he's 6 months old. It goes by so fast and you're are going to have such a wonderful time! Being in our early 20's means we generally have more energy to play with them which is a blessing! You will be an amazing mother and I can't wait for you to meet your little love ❤
I’m really sorry they said that. People can change so much that there’s never a reason to think someone CANT be a parent. And often the turning point is a child for so many people. And most likely you didn’t earn that comment in any of your behavior anyway, people can be so harsh. 😭
I'm just 17 and nowhere close to this but I love how you think you're a mom even as you're pregnant....a lot of women will say 'I'm going to be a mom' and somehow I feel that tampers with our mentality and makes the baby a lot less significant in terms of someone who's not ready and considering aborting. Love your positivity ❣️
This was so beautiful and touching. I am pregnant at the moment and really enjoyed hearing positive things about motherhood in the middle of so much worry we are burden with. I wish the best for your great family 😊
I love that you didn’t edit out or redo the moments that you were getting emotional, it’s clear in your everyday interactions that your love runs deep for those babies. It’s crazy how mushy they make you! I cry about stuff I would NEVER cry about before and I don’t even care how crazy I appear to people. 🤷♀️ Thanks for sharing the good Delilah, we need more you in the world.
I have a 5 month old baby and she has already taught me so much!! People kept telling me the time goes by so fast with babies, and that is 100% true. I am learning to enjoy every single moment with my baby...to cuddle her, hold her, play with her and to be the mother that she needs.
I've learned to let go of control and embrace the chaos, lol but also to be way more organized and plan ahead of time so that I'm not running into these last minute rush hours with my kids.
What a beautiful mindset to have. 🌿🌱💐Becoming a mother has changed me for the better in so many ways, often through hard situations, but I am so grateful for the lessons those moments have and continue to teach me. I can completely relate with struggling to not always have to finish every to do list even at the expense of connecting and loving my child to the best of my ability. Thank you so much for the richness this video contains. 💕💕🌿
I just LOVE you. Truly. I found your channel at the beginning of quarantine and it’s been so helpful for me! I’m pregnant with my first baby due within the next two weeks and you’ve helped educate and make me more excited for motherhood ❤️
I found her channel when quarantine in my county of California started too. I have 7 weeks left of my third pregnancy now and with two older ones, I needed a video like this.
Beautiful video. I sent it to all my mama friends. I was tearing up every time you teared up. My kids have taught me quick forgiveness, patience (work in progress) , that they are their own little small person and they also deserve great respect, they taught me to LISTEN, to read between the lines and to feel their emotions.
time and time again people told me to enjoy every moment. thus, from the beginning i have looked at the bright side of every moment. Of course, i have had to stop and find the positive, but it has made motherhood so much better for me. The hard times become some of the best times
My kids taught me to not go into parenthood with expectations. One of my kids is autistic and it took me out of the headspace about obsessing about milestones and the future and just enjoy my kids and live in the present because it's so easy to compare your kids with others!
This video is so special and touching. I definitely agree with you one hundred percent. Our children teach us so much. Listening to this has made me open my eyes, want to hug my little one and appreciate my time with her. It’s hard sometimes being a stay at home mom, but we only get this time with them once. Thanks Delilah, for such a beautiful and honest video.
What a precious gift you have in learning these things so early on. My youngest of 3 is going to be 16 this year, the other 2 are married and out of the house. I look around and am shocked to see just how quickly time has flown by and how I wish I would have taken more time to soak in every last second of their childhood. You're an awesome mommy and very blessed! Soak it all in and enjoy every second!
Thank you so much! It was such a heart melting video. I got so emotional remembering everything what my kid taught me. My little one also taught me not to be such a perfectionist, which I was for many years. Now always say to myself "It is ok that not everything Ideally laying on its places. It is ok not to have ideal always clean house. It is ok not to have ideally fold or ideally ironed clothing and etc." That is huge for me. Also, he taught me to relax sometimes and some days maybe not to be productive at all.
This is the proof that a video can change your way you’re thinking. I never thought about this, thank you for giving me this push to wake up and to pay more attention to my child.❤️
I needed this video today after my 2 year old and I had a bumpy moment. Tantrums are no joking matter but I gave in as soon as the hyperventilating started. In that moment my bad mood went out the window and all i could do is cuddle with him and he fell asleep. He has taught me to be patient but most importantly kind, to be ki d to others and especially them. Thank you and new subscribers here.
Best most relatable video I’ve ever seen. The poem that says “ he is just a little boy, for such a little while” .... makes me cry so much !!! Loved this. ❤️
Oh man ! I absolutely love this video and totally agree with you and feel you. My baby girl recently turned 1yo and I tell myself every day to appreciate those little moments and don’t get frustrated with her. Things have been rough recently and I constantly remind myself that soon she won’t need me and I know how much I am going to miss this. Thank you for this video , I really needed it. ❤️
I’m so emotional watching this. You are 100% right. You definitely hit the nail on every topic. My kids have taught me to be selfless. My whole day revolves around my kids. I love how much more purpose i have and it’s all thanks to them ❤️
What a beautiful video ❤️ So emotional, I got tears in my eyes a few times, I’m watching while nursing my 5 days old baby. I also have a 3 year old son. Now that the baby is here I can really feel how quickly time goes by. They grow so fast . I want to practice more gratitude for my wonderful children, make time to play with them and really be there for them. As you said, we’ll never look back and regret not doing the dishes 😉 Thank you for sharing xx
Thank you. I have a 6 month old son and wow I really needed to hear this today. I got emotional thinking about how one day he won’t need me, just like you did. Motherhood truly is the greatest gift.
This was so brilliant. I am so sick of hearing people call their kids arseholes and slag them off and complain to other people that “you’ll never feel awake again” and all this. This actually makes me want to have children when no one else on the internet does!! So, thanks 👏🏻
I relate so much.. my daughter melts my heart with everything she does. I don't know if anyone has seen the movie The Help but I love when the little girl is told repeatedly "you is kind you is smart you is important" I tell my daughter that
i don't have children, but one thing you have taught me is to appreciate and love my parents more. i already did love them a lot, but never having been a parent myself, i never really thought about the little moments and the little things they love and miss and will treasure for their entire lives. i love my family, and i'm very grateful you have opened my eyes to how precious days are for all of us, not just parents and not just us as individuals. lots of love to you 💕
I've been having a rough week being 32 weeks pregnant along with my almost 2 year old girl. She throws fits and gets into everything and I've been overwhelmed and hateful. I just feel like I'm not cut out to be a mom some days. This video came at the right time and has shown me how I need to change my perspective, truly! I got absolutely emotional so many times watching this. Because all the while I'm fuming about something she did and her reaping the percussions of it. It takes her less than no time to forget, forgive and be kind. My child is constantly teaching me forgiveness, grace and kindness. Something that is so fundamental in all of our lives that I forget to give myself too often. I'm sorry for the long post! But thank you so much for sharing this!! It was God sent and I hope he continues to bless you all and help you grow into a closer and stronger family no matter the circumstances. 💛💛
I feel you so much and on this! I get so frustrated and grumpy and then I feel like the worst mom in the world. It took one of my friends who doesn’t have children to tell me don’t take it to heart tomorrow’s a new day and she won’t even care.
Oh man, everything about the content on this video is so soulful, real, and beautiful! Well said! Thank you for making me feel grounded again. I’ve definitely teared up watching this while nursing my little one. I feel like I need to watch this video once a day to just remind me to really soak up every moment with my child. That to do-list can certainly wait!
Thanks, for sharing, Three of my adult daughters have moved out of our home. They left for the city(3 yrs. ago). I soo miss them ( I have 3 boys at home). I miss my girls and what us girls did together(boys are not the same). We live on a 200 acre beef farm. They went from a small town of less then 500 people population to 2+ million. I once asked them if we moved closer to them would they live with us. I was soo surprised that they said, "Yes without a doubt"! .
This was a beautiful video with some very important life lessons. 💕 I'm 41w+5d with my girl and our first and she has already taught me a couple big lessons: patience and that you can't always control how things work out, some things are out of our hands. I had all these dates and things in my head of when I would like her to come or what days I didn't want her to come for the past month. Her going over her due date by almost 2 weeks has taught me to be patient and wait, and that there is no sense worrying about things that are out of my control. It's not about me or what I would prefer. I can't wait to learn so many more lessons from her.
That was incredibly touching!❤🌸 I almost started crying with you... Thank you so much for emphasizing the lovely and magical aspects of having children. All of them are true!!💫💞
My child has taught me to see the best in every situation. We have such a limited time on earth with our children, and we shouldn't spend the whole time complaining when theres so much to be grateful and thankful for!
I don't have children yet but am a caretaker for a 3 year old boy. In South Africa schools were closed for 2-3 months before recently reopening. Somedays felt long but it has brought us so close and so many opportunities for patience and honesty. When I was having a difficult moment, I would remember the manner in which you live life with your children, accepting the overwhelming moments, simply trying again to lead with love. Thank you! ☺️
This video brought a tear to my eye. I am a new mum to a little boy now 6 months and he has taught me that everything else can wait he's the most important thing in my life now
By far my favorite video of you. I love your honesty. You mentioned your sensitiveness for self-image and how seeing Eloise being proudly herself, resonates to that struggle. Can you maybe make a video about this self-image theme? Thanks for sharing with us a glanse of your life. Surely, it's just a part of it, but it's meaningful.
I really needed this video. Sometimes (okay all the time) it's nice hearing other moms experiences and giving tips/ideas to be better moms. It motivates me to want to be better or try more on the days I feel like I can't. It's like watching work out videos and wanting to work out to get your goal. But this is mommy goals.
I love this!! It is so easy to think about the negative things with having kid(s). It’s refreshing to hear positive thoughts about what our kid(s) do teach us. I needed to hear this.
I need this reminder right now. I am currently on my 1st trimester for my 2n baby and I feel overwhelmed because I work from home and takes care of my toddler. I am tired all the time... but I am thankful that I am blessed to have children. I am excited to see my 2nd one and the bond they will form.
Delilah, I have been crazy watching all your videos for the last few months. It has replaced my series and downtime activities as your content brings me so much joy and adds such value to my life and this new season I am in of being a new mom. You have taught me alot and shine your light so bright that all the world can see God's love and beauty in your precious family! This is the first I am ever commenting on RUclips and I had to because this video just touched me and opened my eyes so much! Thank you for the constant life lessons, for sharing, being real, and being my favourite passtime, even quickly watching a video while I pump:D You are doing an amazing job as a child of God, a wife, a mom, and an inspiration to us out here even all the way in South Africa. Much love and praying God's greatest blessing, properity and joy over you and your family now and always! Thank you again!
Awww! I just love this video. Among other things and like your kids, my kid have taught me to slow down a little bit and enjoy the little things. Take time to play with him and time to do nothing.
I LOVE this video. I’m not a mom yet but the kids I’m a counselor for at summer camp have taught me to think before I speak or act on a WHOLE NEW LEVEL and I know they’re training me to be the best mom I can be in the future.
Awww Delilah it's so endearing to see and hear you speak about motherhood in this raw and emotional way! It makes me want to have children even more now! I can't wait honestly 🥰
I’m getting married in October and you have been an example to me of mom and wife! I pra that God bless you and your family and keep using you and this platform for His glory! 🙌🏽🥰
How beneficial was this video thank you so much for making it. It was real and appreciate everything my favourite part of the video has to be when you said drop everything for five minutes and play with the little ones we’re not going to miss doing the dishes 100% . I’m going to implement from now. Take care was get emotional with you. X
Im sitting here with my 5 day old sleeping newborn as my 2 year old daughter plays in the backyard with her aunt. I cried with you lol. Your mentality is exactly how i feel about my children and they really showed me what true genuine happiness is... What life is all about! They make me a better person
I never comment, but this was my favorite video you have ever posted! I'm not a mom, but I strive to be and those are such beautiful things and they are easily overlooked. Thank you for sharing
I love this video so much! Thank you for sharing. Really makes me reflect on how thankful we should be for our little humans! 🥰 My daughter has taught me patience for sure.
This is such a beautiful video. I was so on the fence and scared of having kids for the longest time. But I realized that I was only focusing on fear, my childhood, and what was making me afraid, but not enough on what is beautiful, how much I and they can provide, and all the amazing things about being a parent and raising the next generation!
This is such a beautiful video! Thank you so much for it. I listened to it while I nursed my daughter and got emotional the whole way through. My daughter is growing up so fast! You are a wonderful mom delilah ☺️
I just love your videos, love the way you talk, the way you deal with motherhood, and I don’t even know why, cause i’m not a mother, i don’t even are from Canada, but your videos are here in Brazil captivating me. Thank you for this!!! 🤎
My son has taught me to go with the flow. So often I want things to go how I imagined my journey as a mom would be and just letting go of those ideas has really helped me enjoy motherhood
This was such a helpful video for me right now as a new mother of twins..I really try n say "this too shall pass" and take in all the smiles and sweet moments..I wanna reference this video on those off days..so thank u!
It is hard to be parents but I appreciate that I can have such a wonderful time to spend with the most loving kids and husband. I like your thoughts a lot!!
Your transparency spoke volumes to me. Absolutely beautiful how genuine and vulnerable you are and your children are lucky to have such a caring mama ❤️ I have two kids of my own and it's amazing that they can be on this Earth for less than 3 years and already have taught me so much. Thank you for sharing your journey - you are a beautiful soul 💞
I don't have children myself but as an introvert who becomes so overwhelmed by people, the slower kinder simplest things in life bring me peace and comfort, this video was such a comfort blanket to me, thank you x
Watched this video twice because it was so awesome. Your voice and wise words are a breath of fresh air. You are seriously so calming to listen to. And to be young with that amount of wisdom, I am truly happy for you and have learned from you. Also, seeing you get so emotional really makes your message that much stronger. It's easy to get caught up in cleaning and cooking and routines and what day it is - that we forget all the amazing, beautiful things about kids. Thank you so much for this video - every word rang true. You brought such a perfect perspective to motherhood, marriage and family.
Thank you for this video. It was a pleasure to listen to you talking about your experience. You are right about many things. I found myself in everything you said and to pause and just put those facts on videos is a pleasure and such a gift for your future self. bravo 🇨🇵 - Laurine, 26 years old, mom of a beautiful girl named Ambre (15months old), from a small town in France.

yes. yesyesyes.
It is nice! Where I live ppl only talk about the joys and blessing that kids are - which makes me feel really bad when I am not having my best day :-/
I don’t have any children but this whole video had me fighting back tears. This is exactly why I know with every fiber of my being that my calling in life is to be a mother. While it breaks my heart that it hasn’t happened yet I know that children will come into my life at the exact moment they are destined to.
Kasandra Campbell that’s a really good attitude. It will get you through the heartbreak until your little one makes their way to you.
This is exactly how I was.. it will happen for you. At exactly the right time. Just like it did for me
I believe in destiny, it'll happen when the time is right. The fact that you want to be a mom so badly makes me feel you will be a wonderful mom. ❤️

My little one is almost 1 year and he has taught me the true meaning of unconditional love
what my kids have taught me: sleep is important to be a decent human😂😊
Haha!!! 😂 indeed.
Yes, this one is so true!!! For them and for us!! I have only had one chunk of a few months of solid sleep in the last 4 years! That was between my kids when my eldest slept through at 9-14 months.

Right??? Lack of sleep can really make you CRAZY 😅

Oh my goodness! I am so sorry for that terribly hurtful comment. 😥
I'm so sorry someone said that to you, that's awful...
I had my baby at 22 (I'm only 23 now) and now he's 6 months old. It goes by so fast and you're are going to have such a wonderful time! Being in our early 20's means we generally have more energy to play with them which is a blessing! You will be an amazing mother and I can't wait for you to meet your little love ❤

Praying for you! Sending love!
I’m 20 weeks pregnant right now with my first and this is just making me so excited!!!
My daughter has taught me that I must be dependable on God just as much as she is dependable on me.
Love your videos, greetings from California 👋🏽
My 8 months baby boy thought me patience, to calm down and that the most simple things can make you the most happy.
My kids have taught me that the little worries in life don’t matter. My kids happiness is first.
The flower story made me cry, I've been feeling that way alot lately and I think I needed to hear that sweet story♡
This was so beautiful and touching. I am pregnant at the moment and really enjoyed hearing positive things about motherhood in the middle of so much worry we are burden with. I wish the best for your great family 😊
I adore this 🥰 Due in October...what an adventure it’s going to be!
When you got emotional about your children moving out I literally started crying my eyes out :'D Love my baby so much it hurts.
I love that you didn’t edit out or redo the moments that you were getting emotional, it’s clear in your everyday interactions that your love runs deep for those babies. It’s crazy how mushy they make you! I cry about stuff I would NEVER cry about before and I don’t even care how crazy I appear to people. 🤷♀️ Thanks for sharing the good Delilah, we need more you in the world.
Well this made me tear up! 😊
Thank you soo much for sharing!
This is exactly what I needed to hear today 💜
What being a parent has taught me is that if they’re quiet they’re usually up to something 😂
😂😂😂😂 that's so true it cracked my ribs!
And I agree 💯 that kindness towards our kids always wins. Love your channel 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I have a 5 month old baby and she has already taught me so much!! People kept telling me the time goes by so fast with babies, and that is 100% true. I am learning to enjoy every single moment with my baby...to cuddle her, hold her, play with her and to be the mother that she needs.
I've learned to let go of control and embrace the chaos, lol but also to be way more organized and plan ahead of time so that I'm not running into these last minute rush hours with my kids.
What a beautiful mindset to have. 🌿🌱💐Becoming a mother has changed me for the better in so many ways, often through hard situations, but I am so grateful for the lessons those moments have and continue to teach me. I can completely relate with struggling to not always have to finish every to do list even at the expense of connecting and loving my child to the best of my ability. Thank you so much for the richness this video contains. 💕💕🌿
Liked and subscribed. Your videos are awesome!
Wow... this is so soothing to watch. It reminded me how beautifully we can see the life even through hard times
I just LOVE you. Truly. I found your channel at the beginning of quarantine and it’s been so helpful for me! I’m pregnant with my first baby due within the next two weeks and you’ve helped educate and make me more excited for motherhood ❤️
Lovely
I found her channel when quarantine in my county of California started too. I have 7 weeks left of my third pregnancy now and with two older ones, I needed a video like this.
How exciting! Huge congrats!!
Hope your delivery goes well! Take it easy on yourself and don't beat yourself up for not doing chores like I did!
Why am I crying ?! So lovely. Children really are the best. Thank you making a video highlighting that. It’s not easy but it’s worth it.
Beautiful video. I sent it to all my mama friends. I was tearing up every time you teared up. My kids have taught me quick forgiveness, patience (work in progress) , that they are their own little small person and they also deserve great respect, they taught me to LISTEN, to read between the lines and to feel their emotions.
time and time again people told me to enjoy every moment. thus, from the beginning i have looked at the bright side of every moment. Of course, i have had to stop and find the positive, but it has made motherhood so much better for me. The hard times become some of the best times
Why am I single with no children but LOVE watching these type of videos (and your channel in general!!😂)❤️
same! 😂
Trust in God, He will bring the right one 😊
My kids taught me to not go into parenthood with expectations. One of my kids is autistic and it took me out of the headspace about obsessing about milestones and the future and just enjoy my kids and live in the present because it's so easy to compare your kids with others!
I love how wise you are with your young age. Beautiful soul!
This video is so special and touching. I definitely agree with you one hundred percent. Our children teach us so much. Listening to this has made me open my eyes, want to hug my little one and appreciate my time with her. It’s hard sometimes being a stay at home mom, but we only get this time with them once. Thanks Delilah, for such a beautiful and honest video.
What a precious gift you have in learning these things so early on. My youngest of 3 is going to be 16 this year, the other 2 are married and out of the house. I look around and am shocked to see just how quickly time has flown by and how I wish I would have taken more time to soak in every last second of their childhood.
You're an awesome mommy and very blessed! Soak it all in and enjoy every second!
Thank you so much! It was such a heart melting video. I got so emotional remembering everything what my kid taught me.
My little one also taught me not to be such a perfectionist, which I was for many years. Now always say to myself "It is ok that not everything Ideally laying on its places. It is ok not to have ideal always clean house. It is ok not to have ideally fold or ideally ironed clothing and etc." That is huge for me. Also, he taught me to relax sometimes and some days maybe not to be productive at all.
This is the proof that a video can change your way you’re thinking. I never thought about this, thank you for giving me this push to wake up and to pay more attention to my child.❤️
I needed this video today after my 2 year old and I had a bumpy moment. Tantrums are no joking matter but I gave in as soon as the hyperventilating started. In that moment my bad mood went out the window and all i could do is cuddle with him and he fell asleep. He has taught me to be patient but most importantly kind, to be ki d to others and especially them. Thank you and new subscribers here.
Best most relatable video I’ve ever seen.
The poem that says “ he is just a little boy, for such a little while” .... makes me cry so much !!! Loved this. ❤️
Oh man ! I absolutely love this video and totally agree with you and feel you. My baby girl recently turned 1yo and I tell myself every day to appreciate those little moments and don’t get frustrated with her. Things have been rough recently and I constantly remind myself that soon she won’t need me and I know how much I am going to miss this. Thank you for this video , I really needed it. ❤️
I’m so emotional watching this. You are 100% right. You definitely hit the nail on every topic. My kids have taught me to be selfless. My whole day revolves around my kids. I love how much more purpose i have and it’s all thanks to them ❤️
What a beautiful video ❤️ So emotional, I got tears in my eyes a few times, I’m watching while nursing my 5 days old baby. I also have a 3 year old son. Now that the baby is here I can really feel how quickly time goes by. They grow so fast . I want to practice more gratitude for my wonderful children, make time to play with them and really be there for them. As you said, we’ll never look back and regret not doing the dishes 😉 Thank you for sharing xx
Thank you. I have a 6 month old son and wow I really needed to hear this today. I got emotional thinking about how one day he won’t need me, just like you did. Motherhood truly is the greatest gift.
My daughter has taught me to live in the moment and let go of expectations. 🥰
This was so brilliant. I am so sick of hearing people call their kids arseholes and slag them off and complain to other people that “you’ll never feel awake again” and all this. This actually makes me want to have children when no one else on the internet does!! So, thanks 👏🏻
this video was so precious and heartfelt. one of the most wholesome things on the internet. i loved it!
I relate so much.. my daughter melts my heart with everything she does. I don't know if anyone has seen the movie The Help but I love when the little girl is told repeatedly "you is kind you is smart you is important" I tell my daughter that
i don't have children, but one thing you have taught me is to appreciate and love my parents more. i already did love them a lot, but never having been a parent myself, i never really thought about the little moments and the little things they love and miss and will treasure for their entire lives. i love my family, and i'm very grateful you have opened my eyes to how precious days are for all of us, not just parents and not just us as individuals. lots of love to you 💕
Patience, kindness, carelessness
I've been having a rough week being 32 weeks pregnant along with my almost 2 year old girl. She throws fits and gets into everything and I've been overwhelmed and hateful. I just feel like I'm not cut out to be a mom some days. This video came at the right time and has shown me how I need to change my perspective, truly!
I got absolutely emotional so many times watching this. Because all the while I'm fuming about something she did and her reaping the percussions of it. It takes her less than no time to forget, forgive and be kind.
My child is constantly teaching me forgiveness, grace and kindness. Something that is so fundamental in all of our lives that I forget to give myself too often.
I'm sorry for the long post! But thank you so much for sharing this!! It was God sent and I hope he continues to bless you all and help you grow into a closer and stronger family no matter the circumstances. 💛💛
❤️❤️❤️
I feel you! I habe a 2 year old too, and every week multiple times i think i‘m not made to be a mom 🙈
@@barbaraariobazzoni6690 Mom guilt is horrible! I hope the best for you and your little one. 💛
I feel you so much and on this! I get so frustrated and grumpy and then I feel like the worst mom in the world. It took one of my friends who doesn’t have children to tell me don’t take it to heart tomorrow’s a new day and she won’t even care.
Oh man, everything about the content on this video is so soulful, real, and beautiful! Well said! Thank you for making me feel grounded again. I’ve definitely teared up watching this while nursing my little one. I feel like I need to watch this video once a day to just remind me to really soak up every moment with my child. That to do-list can certainly wait!
Thanks, for sharing, Three of my adult daughters have moved out of our home. They left for the city(3 yrs. ago). I soo miss them ( I have 3 boys at home). I miss my girls and what us girls did together(boys are not the same). We live on a 200 acre beef farm. They went from a small town of less then 500 people population to 2+ million. I once asked them if we moved closer to them would they live with us. I was soo surprised that they said, "Yes without a doubt"! .
Dang it Delilah! I am bawling here!
This was a beautiful video with some very important life lessons. 💕
I'm 41w+5d with my girl and our first and she has already taught me a couple big lessons: patience and that you can't always control how things work out, some things are out of our hands. I had all these dates and things in my head of when I would like her to come or what days I didn't want her to come for the past month. Her going over her due date by almost 2 weeks has taught me to be patient and wait, and that there is no sense worrying about things that are out of my control. It's not about me or what I would prefer. I can't wait to learn so many more lessons from her.
I’m due with my first August 6 and your videos make me so excited to meet my baby!
That was incredibly touching!❤🌸 I almost started crying with you... Thank you so much for emphasizing the lovely and magical aspects of having children. All of them are true!!💫💞
I feel like this video is very important. It shows that you grow when becoming a parent. You learn from your kids and mistakes which is so important.
My child has taught me to see the best in every situation. We have such a limited time on earth with our children, and we shouldn't spend the whole time complaining when theres so much to be grateful and thankful for!
I don't have children yet but am a caretaker for a 3 year old boy. In South Africa schools were closed for 2-3 months before recently reopening. Somedays felt long but it has brought us so close and so many opportunities for patience and honesty. When I was having a difficult moment, I would remember the manner in which you live life with your children, accepting the overwhelming moments, simply trying again to lead with love. Thank you! ☺️
This video brought a tear to my eye. I am a new mum to a little boy now 6 months and he has taught me that everything else can wait he's the most important thing in my life now
By far my favorite video of you.
I love your honesty.
You mentioned your sensitiveness for self-image and how seeing Eloise being proudly herself, resonates to that struggle. Can you maybe make a video about this self-image theme?
Thanks for sharing with us a glanse of your life. Surely, it's just a part of it, but it's meaningful.
I really needed this video. Sometimes (okay all the time) it's nice hearing other moms experiences and giving tips/ideas to be better moms. It motivates me to want to be better or try more on the days I feel like I can't. It's like watching work out videos and wanting to work out to get your goal. But this is mommy goals.
I love this!! It is so easy to think about the negative things with having kid(s).
It’s refreshing to hear positive thoughts
about what our kid(s) do teach us. I needed to hear this.
You are an incredible mother. Such an inspiration! 🤍
I need this reminder right now. I am currently on my 1st trimester for my 2n baby and I feel overwhelmed because I work from home and takes care of my toddler. I am tired all the time... but I am thankful that I am blessed to have children. I am excited to see my 2nd one and the bond they will form.
Delilah, I have been crazy watching all your videos for the last few months. It has replaced my series and downtime activities as your content brings me so much joy and adds such value to my life and this new season I am in of being a new mom. You have taught me alot and shine your light so bright that all the world can see God's love and beauty in your precious family! This is the first I am ever commenting on RUclips and I had to because this video just touched me and opened my eyes so much! Thank you for the constant life lessons, for sharing, being real, and being my favourite passtime, even quickly watching a video while I pump:D You are doing an amazing job as a child of God, a wife, a mom, and an inspiration to us out here even all the way in South Africa. Much love and praying God's greatest blessing, properity and joy over you and your family now and always! Thank you again!
Awww! I just love this video. Among other things and like your kids, my kid have taught me to slow down a little bit and enjoy the little things. Take time to play with him and time to do nothing.
I LOVE this video. I’m not a mom yet but the kids I’m a counselor for at summer camp have taught me to think before I speak or act on a WHOLE NEW LEVEL and I know they’re training me to be the best mom I can be in the future.
Well I cried though that whole thing. So sweet!
Awww Delilah it's so endearing to see and hear you speak about motherhood in this raw and emotional way! It makes me want to have children even more now! I can't wait honestly 🥰
This video is BEAUTIFUL ❤️. How wonderful to have such a positive video on parenting to watch. So inspiring.
Thank you so much for making this! Love to see more positivity in motherhood 😊
I’m getting married in October and you have been an example to me of mom and wife!
I pra that God bless you and your family and keep using you and this platform for His glory! 🙌🏽🥰
How beneficial was this video thank you so much for making it. It was real and appreciate everything my favourite part of the video has to be when you said drop everything for five minutes and play with the little ones we’re not going to miss doing the dishes 100% . I’m going to implement from now. Take care was get emotional with you. X
Im sitting here with my 5 day old sleeping newborn as my 2 year old daughter plays in the backyard with her aunt. I cried with you lol. Your mentality is exactly how i feel about my children and they really showed me what true genuine happiness is... What life is all about! They make me a better person
I never comment, but this was my favorite video you have ever posted! I'm not a mom, but I strive to be and those are such beautiful things and they are easily overlooked. Thank you for sharing
I needed this to SLOW DOWN needed to hear this Thanks so much!! 😢☺️
Thankyou. I needed to hear this at the moment! Our children are so incredible 😍
I have a 2.5 year old little boy and a 10 month old (Theo!!) and just adore watching you. Man, you made me tear up. I felt this so hard.
I cried at the flower story! Beautiful video!
I felt a sweet spirit while listening to you, you are a great mom and example
I love this video so much! Thank you for sharing. Really makes me reflect on how thankful we should be for our little humans! 🥰 My daughter has taught me patience for sure.
My daughter has shown me how to Love ! Express my love publicly, I keep everything to myself but she brings every piece of happiness and love out.
This is such a beautiful video. I was so on the fence and scared of having kids for the longest time. But I realized that I was only focusing on fear, my childhood, and what was making me afraid, but not enough on what is beautiful, how much I and they can provide, and all the amazing things about being a parent and raising the next generation!
💕
This is such a beautiful video! Thank you so much for it. I listened to it while I nursed my daughter and got emotional the whole way through. My daughter is growing up so fast! You are a wonderful mom delilah ☺️
I just love your videos, love the way you talk, the way you deal with motherhood, and I don’t even know why, cause i’m not a mother, i don’t even are from Canada, but your videos are here in Brazil captivating me. Thank you for this!!! 🤎
My son has taught me to go with the flow. So often I want things to go how I imagined my journey as a mom would be and just letting go of those ideas has really helped me enjoy motherhood
This is a beautiful video. An encouragement to us mommas which is so needed.
This was such a helpful video for me right now as a new mother of twins..I really try n say "this too shall pass" and take in all the smiles and sweet moments..I wanna reference this video on those off days..so thank u!
It is hard to be parents but I appreciate that I can have such a wonderful time to spend with the most loving kids and husband. I like your thoughts a lot!!
What a SWEET video! I absolutely loved this. Thanks for sharing 🥰
I teared up so many times hearing the emotion and truth in your voice. A wonderful mama you are.
So beautiful and touching! Every time you started to cry I did too lol
Your transparency spoke volumes to me. Absolutely beautiful how genuine and vulnerable you are and your children are lucky to have such a caring mama ❤️
I have two kids of my own and it's amazing that they can be on this Earth for less than 3 years and already have taught me so much.
Thank you for sharing your journey - you are a beautiful soul 💞
Hi Delilah I was wondering if you could make more sit down videos like this ❤️
I don't have children myself but as an introvert who becomes so overwhelmed by people, the slower kinder simplest things in life bring me peace and comfort, this video was such a comfort blanket to me, thank you x
That was so so beautiful 🥺
Watched this video twice because it was so awesome. Your voice and wise words are a breath of fresh air. You are seriously so calming to listen to. And to be young with that amount of wisdom, I am truly happy for you and have learned from you. Also, seeing you get so emotional really makes your message that much stronger. It's easy to get caught up in cleaning and cooking and routines and what day it is - that we forget all the amazing, beautiful things about kids. Thank you so much for this video - every word rang true. You brought such a perfect perspective to motherhood, marriage and family.
awwww I love that you even quoted biblical verse! Amen sister!!
Thank you for this video. It was a pleasure to listen to you talking about your experience. You are right about many things. I found myself in everything you said and to pause and just put those facts on videos is a pleasure and such a gift for your future self. bravo 🇨🇵 - Laurine, 26 years old, mom of a beautiful girl named Ambre (15months old), from a small town in France.
So sweet, I love all the things you said so true and pulled right on my heart strings 💕
