Oh my gosh! Cassie's comment of how, when they visit family, they visit your home LAST because it's the place that's calm where they can relax and decompress?! That choked me up! What a wonderful compliment for your children (daughter-in-laws included!!) to give you! I'm proud of you for your hard work and grateful for your kids for noticing! ❤
This video reveals the temple of love and affection cultivated over years of steady attention, affection, and respect that each one of these children is their own person. Theyre each special and different. Whatta mom!
I truly believe that your kiddos were not bothered by the excess "stuff" growing up because it didn't affect the way you loved them. They clearly had a wonderful upbringing and have so much love for you. ❤
"It's classy, I think you are classy" omg that made me tear up! I have 4 Boys and 1 girl, mh oldest is 15 I can't wait to see what kind of men they grow up to be. Your boys are so sweet. Me and my husband lived in dc for 6 yrs and he worked at Walter Reed we went to Quantico many times
Thank you for being brave and asking your sons these questions. It's a testament to the relationships you've cultivated with them! Also, the lunchables... 🤣
This is so interesting Rachel. Different kids, different outlooks, different way of living now. I love that they were so open in saying that they did not always like the giving up, but now in retrospect they do not miss anything. Hurts for a bit for all of us, but no regrets later.
This is great thanks! 👏🏼 also tell your kids you were a big contributor to CHANGING MY LIFE. I could sob in the fetal position for an hour thinking about what this minimal community on RUclips has done for me and my family 😭😭😭 luckily I found you all when my youngest was 2 and oldest was 8. I can’t let myself go there thinking what could have been had I discovered you all sooner. Grateful it happened at all some people never figure it out ❤️
This was an interesting video, talking with the oldest of your children. It is nice to see there is grace shown when we as parents might not do everything "perfectly." You allowed them space to talk and express themselves in the video and at home, and that makes a huge difference. You are well loved. Such nice boys!
My parents didn‘t have a lot of money when my siblings and I were little. We had few toys or books and most of „our things“ were borrowed from our extended family. We were not allowed to watch much TV, so we didn't know (for the most part) what we were "missing". Looking back I remember being jealous of the amount of time my classmates parents were spending with their kids playing or doing crafts ... my parents worked a lot and when we children were spending time with them it was hardly ever doing something for leisure (instead we helped our parents with their work). Now that I have children of my own I try to do things differently then my parents did and prioritize having time with my kids. By the way: My parents are retired and enjoy playing with their grandchildren. Mom regrets not having had enough time for us children, when we were young.
This is so sweet. What wonderful young men. I got a bit teary as I have three young adult sons as well and your boys reminded me of each of them. All so different. Thanks so much for sharing!
This is The Coolest Interview I’ve ever seen! Loved it. Your sons are so interesting, insightful and funny….. Luke looks a lot like you…… So many funny comments, lol, lunchables, and caring about cleanliness only when it comes to the sink, and everything being white…. And Jessie especially is so funny.. loved it. They are so sweet…….
Great to 'meet' your older ones and what lovely young men they are (and lovely wife and children!). I laughed about the 'Lunchables'! We have some big gaps in our family (oldest now 32 and youngest 17) and the 2 eldest have sometimes said 'how come they're allowed to do this or watch that? You never let us!' 🤣
Your boys are so handsome!! It sounds like they benefitted from the change to minimalism, which is great to hear. You can tell Luke that all kids think their family is nerdy put up against what they imagine their friends families are like, lol. Sweet video.
I loved this! What sweet boys you have. I'm a mom of 3 boys and there is something special about moms and boys. It's interesting how they each developed their own approach to stuff in their lives.
Rachel, I'm STILL watching this video and I have to tell you that it's so good for so many reasons. Getting to know your older boys a bit is really fun! Their personalities just make you wanna hang out with them. I know you must be very proud! And I really love hearing all of their personal opinions about your family's messy to minimal journey. Thank you for being so open and letting us hear how they feel! I started with minimalism when our kids were 18 and 22. I wonder if I'm brave enough to ask them these questions. And if I'm humble enough to let them speak their minds without interrupting! Thanks again for sharing! This time, I'll try to FINISH the video before I make any more comments! 🤣
Wow! Impressive! Love their openness to talk about their experience. Thank you! I have to be serious in this minimalism journey. There are things that I rarely use but can't get rid of because of the what if question. This interview with your sons is very helpful. ❤️🙏
Don't be too serious, keep in mind it is for your benefit. We human beings love to turn our blessings into curses. Suffering from "too much stuff" is 100% a first world problem that many would love to "suffer" from.
That was fun! Great video. I really enjoyed seeing the different living spaces. I'm the middle of three brothers and I live in a small studio apartment. I'm happy to say that after years of stress and actual mental conflict about the number of books I have versus wanting more space I have finally started removing books. I probably more than 2,000 books. I'd like to remove around 1,000. So far 166 have been removed and a lot more are stacked up to be taken to different places. (No car so it's a few at a time.) Many of my books I got for free from Free Day at fundraising sales, or Little Free Libraries, etc. I've been thinking about, "How much can I expect to read in the remainder of my lifespan?", "Would I pay to have a copy of this book?" , "Is this a book I truly want to read or does it just look interesting and I got it on Free Day at the library clearance sale?" Once books are read most will be donated so there will be more downsizing. Since most of my books have been in boxes along the wall and around furniture there's re-arranging and re-packing a decreasing amount of boxes. Once I'm done I may start the whole process over for more "thinning of the herd". I was not brought up with minimalism though we didn't have much. A type of stress I've had for years is now steadily decreasing. Books no longer control me, I control them and are getting them to other people to enjoy.
This was an interesting video. It was good to see the other points of view from the same household. Need another video, sort of same content, with kids at home. All great kids.
Love, love, LOVE this!!! Your boys are so sweet and their love and respect for you really came across in this video. My heart melted when Jesse said you were “classy”. ❤️ Really interesting to hear their different perspectives on minimalism. Thanks so much for all of your great content- I am a longtime subscriber and truly enjoy your videos. 🤗
Your sons are adorable! Their view on growing up with clutter is interesting in that they weren’t too bothered by it. They obviously live in a well organized environment as adults.
When I was a kid I was very messy. My mom would come into my room and just start throwing stuff away I would cry and wish I was dead. I would grab stuff off the floor as she was sweeping she would make me throw it away. But as soon as my room was clean I could never remember a single thing she threw away. But I would always feel happy and relieved to have a nice clean living space. As an adult in my early 18-25ish I was extremely germaphobic it was hard to clean I needed a certain rag and blabla and I also had more fears. Now in my late 20s I enjoy cleaning but my house can still get messy and the problem I face now. I have kids who are extremely messy I find myself having meltdown at watching my clean house get destroyed.
Gosh, your son's are all handsome. And so different. I really needed to see this. Being quite hard on myself for the clutter and worry it is affecting my kids. But your boys made me feel good. My kids drag their heels at decluttering because it probably only matters right now to me. Not them! And our house is probably as messy as anyone's with a house full of love. My takeaway from this is its ok to be messy and it's ok to be minimilist in regards to raising kids. Pluses and minuses with both lifestyles for kids. Not going to do them any harm. Phew. What a relief! But for a mum's wellbeing, minimilism is definitely the goal. Thankyou Rachel.
i had a mom that use to remove things while i was at school. not once did i ask, where is that toy? the only thing i miss, my mom passed when i was 14. dad remarried to someone who just wanted my dad, not the family. and she threw out the handmade christmas ornaments that we made for Christmas tree. i still have my christmas stocking ( she missed a box), im 61. and the hair brush my mom gave me for christmas when i was 12. and my dad made sure to give us the family photos so she wouldnt throw them away.
I would say you did a great job raising your kids if the only thing they resent is not getting lunchables. What a great video it really gave me some new perspective to minimalism and kids.
This was cool! I found it interesting when one of your boys said that clutter didn't cause anxiety as a child, but does now as an adult. I have noticed how only my own mess and clutter upsets me... Not other people's. And I resist cleaning and tidying my own place but can really enjoy cleaning at work or a friend's house.
Awesome lads and their homes are just fab, especially Stephen and Jesse who are minus kids! It is interesting to see their interests and character reflected in their living spaces ❤️
Just loved this video! Thank you so much for sharing. The answers your boys gave is a testament to your parenting. They didn't notice that the house was messy and the only thing they can't believe is that the younger kids have had lunchables. I'd say that's a win for you as a mom!! I should really do the same with my children, who are all now adults, but the youngest is just out of high school and his brothers are 30 and 34, so there is quite a spread. Thanks for another wonderful video.
I thoroughly enjoyed this video! What a great idea! You have raised such sweet and respectful boys! And what a gorgeous granddaughter you have! She is so sweet! ❤
I go through my children's belongings frequently. I used to do it about every other month and recently I've chosen to do it every Saturday morning. Recently, I not only go through toys, but I'm also beginning to include books and stuffed animals. I only started a few weeks ago, but it makes me feel so secure knowing there is a time in which I'm can declutter. I set a 10 min timer that they can see while we sort. Each time there are things we chose to give away or throw away. Also, when I choose to let them have something that I see as trash, often I will tell them they can have it for a set amount of time (ie, the end of the week) and then when that time comes the item is disposed of. Things like packaging, a broken item, or a catalogue fall in this category. Rarely do I dispose of their things without first informing them. I ask their permission about half the time, and other times I make am executive decision. Today we went through stuffed animals and chose to give away 5. I let each child hug the stuffed animals and wave goodbye to them....I think doing this helps avoid separation anxiety. Also, frequently decluttering helps them better enjoy what they have and helps them see it as something common, so they aren't in shock or great sadness over no longer having something. As way to respect their feelings, I never give away something that I know is dear to them; I never even joke about it. It was great hearing the perspective of your adult children and seeing your interaction with them. There is clearly love, respect, and admiration there! Hoping I'll have those relationships characteristics with my children when they become adults.
Absolutely beautiful video! What a testament to your parenting! Bravo! What outstanding young men. Also, IMO they were better off not having lunchables (health-wise)! All the best!
Jesse’s “baseball bat….not really” comment made me laugh and then his “you’re classy” comment made me nearly cry. Maybe I should interview my kids about life before minimalism.
When you said thank you to your little granddaughter at the end, I swear she said, "You're welcome." She is adorable! And this was a fun video to watch. It's interesting to hear their different perspectives.
What a great video. I've never seen anithing like it before. Very novel! Also, how are you old enough to have three adult children, let alone grandchildren? 😅
I thought the same about the mom and daughter in law, that they look the same! At first I thought that they are mother and daughter! That was funny... lol
My 15 yr old has been and still is obsessed with bionicles and hero factory he has boxes and boxes full and still at 15 makes characters daily lol its so cute. He puts them in display and shows them off. If we ever want to sell them we could make thousands they are very sought after now
I have come to learn that we as mothers assume that our children are embarrased by their households. But it all boils down to how we assume it is supposed to be to providing a happy and loving home. Because the society that we live in is fast, hard, and lacking family and morals. We as mothers feel that we have to save our childrens world so to speak. But we have to finally realize that we are not meant to keep up with the Jone's. Its not about the possessions, it how you present and use what you have and need to live a happy and enjoyable life together. Be there for them physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

It's really the highest praise possible that they save the best for last!
I thought she was so nice too!

I truly believe that your kiddos were not bothered by the excess "stuff" growing up because it didn't affect the way you loved them. They clearly had a wonderful upbringing and have so much love for you. ❤
Growing up with 6 brothers I can totally relate to the “3 boys in one room smell” comment so much. 😂
😂

They really know how to get me! They are such kind men, I’m so proud of them 🥰🥰
My goodness, that was so interesting. All three of these boys would make any mom in the world proud. 💛💛💛
❤️❤️❤️
😂 this was fantastic. The need to be organized seems to have been carried thru their lives. Oh my goodness Rachel please Buy them all lunchnables
🤣🤣 I will!!
Thank you for being brave and asking your sons these questions. It's a testament to the relationships you've cultivated with them! Also, the lunchables... 🤣
I told my oldest brother that he was the "first pancake" for my parents. You know, the one you test out the pan and the heat, etc.
That's brilliant hahaha
😂 that’s great!
This is so interesting Rachel. Different kids, different outlooks, different way of living now. I love that they were so open in saying that they did not always like the giving up, but now in retrospect they do not miss anything. Hurts for a bit for all of us, but no regrets later.
This was so different from other minimalist videos. I truly appreciate this video.

I could watch your grand baby all day. She definitely thought you were asking her the questions too.
This is my favourite among all your videos. Such respectful conversations. The part about the Lunchables was very funny.
This was such a good video, your sons are great men. You did good mom!
My parents didn‘t have a lot of money when my siblings and I were little. We had few toys or books and most of „our things“ were borrowed from our extended family.

By the way: My parents are retired and enjoy playing with their grandchildren. Mom regrets not having had enough time for us children, when we were young.
That's all we can do - do better since we know better. It's nice that they are able to be active in their grandchildren's lives.
Well, that made Christmas shopping a lot easier this year... Lunchables all around!
😂
This is so sweet. What wonderful young men. I got a bit teary as I have three young adult sons as well and your boys reminded me of each of them. All so different. Thanks so much for sharing!

The baby stole the show!!
You decluttered the ghosts with the stuff. 🤣

Yes! As moms, we put such heavy burdens on ourselves. They weren’t stressed about the state of the home, just I was. ❤️
Yep! I agree
What amazing boys you have! This was so interesting to hear each of their memories and style now!
The lunchable! 😂
What a great video! It’s interesting and reassuring to hear their responses. Thank you for sharing!
Get those older boys a Lunchable! 😂
Awesome video.
Right?! 🤣🤣 got to find the ones with cosmic brownies!
I’ve got to do some research because I don’t know what a cosmic brownie is!
Your boys are remarkably sane!
What nice kids you have!!
Love this. Your sons and dau in law so gracious and appreciative you have done well Rachel.
So wonderful to see the guys as adults and how they turned out! They turned out great. 💕
Thank you Glo - they did! I'm so proud of them. 🥰

Ok, back to watch now!!!😅
🤣🤣 this was such a complicated video to edit!

My 15 yr old has been and still is obsessed with bionicles and hero factory he has boxes and boxes full and still at 15 makes characters daily lol its so cute. He puts them in display and shows them off. If we ever want to sell them we could make thousands they are very sought after now
This was so much fun to watch!
Cool guys. Love this!
Great video!
Watching it for the 4th time!! It's a wonderful documentary! Your kids are great!

I have come to learn that we as mothers assume that our children are embarrased by their households. But it all boils down to how we assume it is supposed to be to providing a happy and loving home. Because the society that we live in is fast, hard, and lacking family and morals. We as mothers feel that we have to save our childrens world so to speak. But we have to finally realize that we are not meant to keep up with the Jone's. Its not about the possessions, it how you present and use what you have and need to live a happy and enjoyable life together. Be there for them physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
I completely agree. The shame we heap on ourselves is unnecessary, they don’t remember the stuff, they remember the relationship.
That was precious.
What kind, handsome, and interesting young men you've raised! We're a "weird" family too! LOL
