It looks like she probably spent most of the time in the kitchen making those “fancy meals” and not necessarily with the children, but having official dinner time is superb!!!
@Katshell my mother always treated us as if (and told us) we were a burden and she hated that she had us. We felt like an annoyance, never a joy. I honestly don't have one core memory of doing anything fun or leisurely with her as a family outside of holiday dinners.
This is the kind of environment every child should grow up in: loving, attentive, and supportive. I could cry. They’re a gorgeous couple. You can tell they have fun with each other and they nurture each other. I love it. She gets the best mama, wifey, and woman award for sure. I see you, sis.

Same with me. Running around restaurants and having tantrums was not tolerated. I remember seeing the wait staffs face when we would order for ourselves.
The best part about this isn’t the food she serves. The best part is she is teaching her children proper manners, including treating waitstaff with respect. I wish more parents would care enough to teach these values to their children. My youngest son used to get teased by his friends when they went in the grocery store because he was so polite and considerate to the check out clerks
I was a single mom for about ten years when my daughters were very young; my youngest was just a year old and her older sister was three. Money was tight so eating out was not an option. Like Rachel I wanted to teach my daughters good table manners, to include what utensils to use. When my youngest was almost four I started my “restaurant” that was open every Saturday evening. During the week I would ask my daughters what type of restaurant they wanted to visit on Saturday night and gave them a choice of different cuisines. My daughters are now 44 and 47 and we remember those dinners with much fondness. It was such a wonderful way to teach them good manners and give them experiences that I wasn’t able to afford by taking them out to eat. I was the cook and the server and loved it! A few years into this Saturday night tradition I met my wonderful husband who has been a wonderful father to “our” girls. He was always proud to take them out to restaurants because he knew they had good manners and would know how to handle themselves. Your children are re diving excellent parenting and you should be proud of the job you are doin*!
It confuses me actually. How was it going the rest of the week? I mean, where I live ( the Netherlands) it is common to eat breakfast and dinner together every day and using the right utensils and having the right table manners is an every day thing?
@@lienbijs1205 The rest of the week was fine. My girls were taught table manners as soon as they could feed themselves. They were expected to be polite and respectful at all times. My mother lived with me for several years and she took care of my girls when I was working. However as a single mom, I often had to work a second job and I wasn’t always home for meals. I think you missed the point….these Saturday “restaurant “ dinners were special and provided the opportunity for my girls to try different cuisine….meals I couldn’t take them out to experience.

My husband and I started an in home dining catering company about 15 years ago. My husband has been a chef for over 30 years. All of the fine dining restaurants he has worked at lacked people of color coming to enjoy the food. So we decided to make sure our community can enjoy all the “fancy” foods in their homes with their family. The children love it, the adults can’t believe the experience they have. It also doesn’t hurt to have a hall of fame player’s son as your private chef😉
This is beautiful! And while it is true she is teaching her kids how to treat food service and waitstaff respectfully, I think it’s even more amazing that she is showing them how they should be treated as well. Mutual respect. ❤️
Ashley Williams - that’s because fake food is loaaaaaaaded with stuff that adds flavor to it to make the eater want even more. Real food doesn’t have these additives so it doesn’t trick the eater into craving more of it. Food with additives offers quick dopamine hits to the eater. Kids are literally getting high on fake “food” and if that patten can be established early in their body, it’s a hard habit to break, hence the obesity we see and the lifelong tastes developed in adults who grew up on this diet
When I was younger my mom gave me and my best friend a "fancy restaurant" experience the morning after our first sleepover. She didn't give us menus, but we did get seated, have our orders taken, and get served. It was a very memorable meal and one of the most fun experiences of my childhood.
That's how I feed my kids too! My husband teases me for it, but I grew up eating multiple courses and properly using silverware and such in Europe. It fuels passion for fine dining and brings the family together. No electronics allowed at our table! ❤
Yes I’m in UK and we’ve always done it even before we had a proper dining room and it was just a table for four in a corner. TV off, clean hands and faces and a proper cooked meal ( not always fancy but nourishing). It’s lovely to see this little family doing things so beautifully.
Agree. When you’re used to a certain way of life, the high standard for how you do the most basic things has been set early in childhood and it’s very hard to come down from that and to live otherwise.. Anything else seems so foreign.
@@happydays5989 because it shows that Black people are a layered individuals, and usually when Black people are shown on television or in the media in any capacity it’s in a negative fashion, it illustrates that there is a wide diaspora to the lives of Black people.
I'm from EU & have traveled extensively. I ENCOURAGE everyone to try EVERYTHING, including local table manners and customs! A wonderful example of "teaching" your own children. Spending time with them. Interacting with them. Making them feel important and that they MATTER. This is fun play time but also learning time. BRAVO mom & pop. EPIC.
You warmed my heart! My mom did this for me as a child and for her grandchildren! We always laughed about how her grandkids, at preschool age did not beg for cookies from grandmama, but for asparagus with hollandaise! My mom was always one to serve children the same fare as adults at her epicurean parties when I was growing up. If the adults had shrimp cocktail, the kids had little versions of it! Other people would just serve the kids some hotdogs, but Mama would take care to treat her smallest guests with the same care as the adults with kid-sized portions of all the same treats. This shows respect for children and teaches them to explore cuisine and be open-minded, just as you stated - what a lovely education for kids lucky enough to have thoughtful parents like you! Keep up the lovely way you are raising your kiddos - as a parent whose kids are now grown, I can say this paid off in having children who were polite in restaurants and at formal events like weddings and who were never picky eaters. I love that my daughter used to order "water with lemon" even at the age of three. lol My kids grew up to love cooking for others and travel to explore other cultures - your kids are set up for success as citizens of the world! Much love to you and your beautiful family!
I like what you said: "setting your kids up for success as citizens of the world". I think this is how society is shifting now, which I think is a good thing.
I am so surprised that it isn't a thing what is concidered normal in the USA because I don't know any better day after day to let children eat the same food and having proper table manners. My granddaughter of 17 months eats already everything what you put in front of her and the same as everybody. Of course also shrimps and other seafood and all kind of vegetables including asparagus in the season. I don't think that my daughter would accept it if I give her child unhealthy food like hotdogs while the adults eat normal food.
@@lienbijs1205 I think it is more of a thing now, but my mama was an "early adopter" doing this in the 60's-70s. My own kids were appalled when we went to a very lovely family wedding and the truly sweet bride , in a very well-intentioned attempt to include food that was kid friendly, had arranged for all the kids to have a kid's meal of chicken strips and fries. My 4 and 6 year old had several adults literally trying to bribe them for their plane fare and they ended up trading their kids meals for shrimp cocktails, artichoke pasta, a lovely liver pate, quiche Florentine and some Calvados-based crem bulee that other adults didn't want. At one point the whole table rolled with laughter when my 4 year old requested in her baby voice "additional lemon wedges." I think things in the US are better now that more foods are commonly available, but in the mid-70's when I was a kid my mom would drive 45 minutes across Houston to go to the Epicurean market to find ingredients that are available at every corner now.
@@leeannsolice7473 I am fully surprised that adults prefer fries and chicken strips ( I had to search in Google what are chicken strips) over normal food. We are for sure living in different cultures, I didn't realize that before, but here it would be concidered quit rude to show you don"t like the food and exchange it with food of children. I mean, if you don't like shrimps, paté or whatever, what is fully accepted, you would tell the waiter in advance that you don't like it. It is not healthy to eat too much liver but here it is one of the favorite toppings on sandwiches, also from children.
What a classy operation! Five stars to this lovely family, amazing parents, adorable kids, and world famous fancy restaurant. Why not go the extra mile for our loved one?
OMG! That’s Ray and Sheena! I remember their first youtube video Years ago before she got pregnant with the oldest. I’m so happy to see this. Teach those babies to expect the finer things early. Those kids are going to grow up with great manners and high standards. Great job, mom and dad!
Wow! So classy. It’s a beautiful thing to see these kids not eating while on a device or watching TV. The whole concept of mommy’s Fancy Restaurant is amazing, there are nicely and neatly dressed. I am from St.Lucia in the Caribbean and this just blew me away! May God continue to bless this lovely family with favor. PS , you should trademark this name asap.😊
This family is so great. What terrific parents. They are the kind of people who deserve to be parents too. Because being a mom or dad is a privilege, yet so many people don’t see it that way. So many kids get pushed off onto the grandparents, or are treated poorly, abused, raised in terrible homes, etc. and to people who should have *never* had them. So it’s beautiful to see people raising the next generation like this. Kudos to this family.
You can’t judge people who put their childrens in their grandparents! I ask my mom in law to pick my children up cause I’m a working mom and finish work late in the evening to provide my child education, sport, foods, and clothing, instead I spend my holidays and each weekend with my child doing activities. I agree for abused children but do not put us working mom who has no choice but working children is not only about love, it requires material and extra care for development.
@@Mickaelasama that is literally the complete opposite of what i am talking about. i was referring to people who have kids and then give them up for their parents to completely raise them while they go off and live life like they never had a kid. Grandparents are there for help when you need someone to get them from school or watch them for you when you are working, i never meant it in that way, clearly.....chill out.
What a blessing these parents are to their children AND the world. You start with good etiquette and you can take it all the way through to being kind to your service staff. I hope the children learn this and take it with humility, that’s a combination that really turns heads. Kindness and humility and the strength to follow through with it!
I remember I used to create “room service” for my kiddos at night and they loved it, I would let them call me for a late night room service and I would bring them Oreos and milk set up on a nice fancy plate and or ice cream and would create a fake bill left on their tray they thought it was the funniest thing and they never forget it ☺️
This is so beautiful getting them ready for life . When they go out those babies will know what to do . Beautiful and well mannered children and great parenting skills . ❤💯
@@TheWarriorLV It will teach them not to settle for a happy meal and help them choose partners that are worthwhile and to expect great things out of life . At least their arteries won't be clogged up byeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!! 😀
OMG....I LOVE THE FANCY RESTAURANT AND THAT FAMILY!!!! They are really wonderful parents to their children....and those kids will have the best memories EVER!!!!!!!
1:14 “How they treat their servers is very very important to us that they know how to treat others!” Love this and the menu! “Welcome to Mommy’s Fancy Restaurant!”
BRAVO! WELL DONE! Now you can take your kids anywhere without them acting like fools. I did the same with my children and I can take them ANYWHERE and always be proud, They are grown now and sophisticated adults!!!
You my dear fellow mom deserve the best mom award. You have a beautiful family. Sending you many blessings. Merry Christmas to you all. You two are the sweetest. Happy to see.
Omg! I just love this mom & dad👏🏼such creativity, while teaching their children such etiquette, wrapped in love & fun….kudos. Because I was raised up….” Like it or not, you gone EAT ALL THAT’s On Your Plate”🤣😂WE CELEBRATE U FAMILY🎉🎊💐
This is AMAZING! Absolutely wonderful! It's so nice to see someone teaching their kids how to behave respectfully, politely and with grace. This is one of the many things that is wrong with society today. Not enough thought is given to teaching children how to live well, how to interact with others in society, how to behave like classy, educated, good human beings. If this was done more often, I think we would see a shift in today's overly sensitive, my-way-or-the-highway mentality. Well done, Mom & Dad, for expanding the kids' horizons!!
Let's all take a minute just to enjoy and recongize the love, respect, manners, that these parents are teaching these beautiful children. Let's not act like we've never been around some disrespectful, rude kids/parents well now days like it's so okay to a single baby mother(s). It STARTs from home, ppl.
This beautiful mama's feeding her children's hearts, tummies and minds! She's using food as her love language to teach them manners (appreciate servers, omg James Corden!), etiquette, open mindedness and introducing different cultures in the most healthy and fabulous way possible! Talk about nourishing the soul. Well this Soul Sister Scores BIG!
Exibiting proper etiquette and being respectful in their language in addressing each other!! It is just a beautiful wholesome expieriance to watch! This made me smile! Thank you for that!
Love this! When my family and I order pizza from Little Caesar’s, we set the table with goblets, chargers, linen on the table, cloth napkins…etc. We say a prayer, appreciate our food, and involve everyone in the experience. We are rich and this family is living rich as well. 🍽️ Money isn’t the answer. Richness is in the soul.
Tbh what I see the difference between fine dining vs normal is just that they put extra care in plating, service, manners and the table setup and anyone can do that no need money for it just effort
Your children's luxury experiences in life should always be provided by your parents first. So that when you get older its not some huge , rare treatment and you aren't hypnotized or easily brought when someone else treats you well . Beautiful
👏👏👏👏 to this mom… she’s teaching her kids good etiquette, manners, exposing them to good behavior, respect, these kids are going to be amazing kids…Bravo! 👏🙌👍 Good manners, values, behavior, start at home…
My darling, you are phenomenal, I do and have done a similar thing with all of my boys. I love to cook good, healthy and wholesome foods. I bake and cook fresh on a daily. I love to present their food nicely and make it an experience for them. I'm proud for you beautiful. God bless you and your gorgeous family. I'm a single Momma and make it my duty to make the best memories for and with my boys. Merry Christmas 🎄
Excellent idea. When I was a child my parents and grandparents took me to many high end restaurants and I learned so much watching their behavior. At home all meals were cooked from fresh ingredients. No food fussiness because it was eat it or don’t. My mother never forced or bribed my sister and I to eat anything. Today I love a wide variety of foods.
I really love this... kids should be able to experience fine dining just as the parents do and the best part..Its prepared at home so you know what your kiddo's are eating🥰❤
I love love love this!!! I've been watching masterchef, cutthroat kitchen, next level chef, etc and I've been practicing the "fancy" style of cooking for a few years now and it's amazing how your family of customers feel when they see this fancy plate of food served and they didn't even have to pay for it 😆 plating is an art and you have mastered it girl! You make me and Gordon Ramsey 👏 🥲❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎
Absolutely beautiful! This family is amazing😀This is how you teach children how to be respectful and appreciative at an early age. It always starts at HOME!
You are setting their expectations for themselves very high and I think it's amazing. Love that you want them to know how to treat others and have manners, but also they will not be intimidated by "fancy" settings and they can blend in. Perfect job.
My parents always made an effort to have such “fancy” dinners on the weekends not least because those were the only times we could have dinner as a family since my dad was usually working late during the week. We always had to help either with the preparations and cooking, setting the table and thereby learning how one sets a proper table, lighting the candles and cleaning up afterwards. Weekend dinners were and are always special in my family and my brother and I even kept this habit at university and now that we are moved out and working. It taught me how to cook (things beyond a scrambled egg), how to set a table (placing the cutlery and glasses properly) and how to host dinners etc. On top of that these dinners were a time of long conversations about really any topic and I am certain they contributed to my brothers and my ability to hold a conversation about virtually any topic without a problem. The life skills taught at the dinner table cannot be overestimated!!
That sounds amazing. I wonder tho if I be a parent in the future and wanna do that too how to get the kids off from being a sulking gremlin bc I tried to takeaway their tiktok?
And look pretty you DO! Y'all keep up the great parenting. It matters. We took our children to fancy restaurants but this idea is so much better. We will do this one for our grandchildren.
Ohhhh this Mama is beautiful inside and out 😍 so true …breaks up the mundane chore of having to cook and clean I know I get stale lol it’s a huge responsibility keeping everyone healthy and alive and interested in trying different foods this is a wonderful idea!
I love seeing mother’s finally being shown as having it all having their husband supporting them with healthy well mannered happy children omg swooning we love our family as well this gave me all the feels ❤
I've been watching them on RUclips for years and they really have been this way forever! They spend so much time with their kids its incredible. They do mommy and son dates etc...they really need their own channel!!! Love them what a way to push the community forward leading by example!!!
It so wonderful to see Black Families in a great light and to show that we are human and our families are important . And that our children are important and loved. And the best part I’ve always enjoyed that there were no WF in or around telling this Truly lovely Black Mother how to teach her own children how to enjoy and learn. They read the menu order there food and eat the food and no its not from MCD. Our children are wonderful but these parents are what every child should have to help them grow into health adult. With all my respect and all my love ❤
They are a beautiful family. I give the parents alot of credit because those meals look sooo detailed. God bless their family and I hope they always have that closeness.
I’m so proud to see this in our community, she is the pavement of spending quality time with your kids in a creative way💕 and I am here for it!!! Very inspiring for future parents and those who are still learning ❤
This is amazing, for SO MANY reasons! 1) Love in action, by both parents 2) Bonding with parents and siblings 3) Exploration of their palates 4) Learning to prepare five-star meals 5) Preparation for personal and business lunches/dinners, including proper ettiquette and communication 6) The ability to share the knowledge and experience(s) with others. Well done, Mom and Dad! 👏🏾💐
It definitely takes two to raise a child or children and I was so proud to see them babies using their utensils so properly and using their manners way to go 🎊 ❤
It's so beautiful how she is able to fully share her passion. It's even more beautiful that her husband loves it. Some people are ultra picky or critical only wanting one thing or thinking that being "elevated" is for certain people. Life is what you make it and she is exploring a beautiful life with her family and sharing it with others. 🥰🥰🥰🥰

My husband and I started an in home dining catering company about 15 years ago. My husband has been a chef for over 30 years. All of the fine dining restaurants he has worked at lacked people of color coming to enjoy the food. So we decided to make sure our community can enjoy all the “fancy” foods in their homes with their family. The children love it, the adults can’t believe the experience they have. It also doesn’t hurt to have a hall of fame player’s son as your private chef😉
Keep us guessing😊

@@jene6874 yes😂🤣😂
What’s y’all RUclips?
Why some people always turn things into racism . No wonder it never ends.. 🙄
This is beautiful! And while it is true she is teaching her kids how to treat food service and waitstaff respectfully, I think it’s even more amazing that she is showing them how they should be treated as well. Mutual respect. ❤️
well said ❤
It's like teaching them treat others with respect and others will wantl to respect you back
That is wonderful tbh
Awesome parents! I bet these wonderful kids will never misbehave in a restaurant. Every parent should do this. Bravo!
The definition of not eating steak and feeding your kids noodles!! ❤️❤️❤️ Love this‼️
Yes. My mama was known for that. 🤣
@@MzCrayKray 🤣🤣🤣🤦🏽♀️
She could literally still be doing that too…
Girl, you could cook a 5 star meal and these little crumb snatchers would still ask for Velveeta🤣
Ashley Williams - that’s because fake food is loaaaaaaaded with stuff that adds flavor to it to make the eater want even more. Real food doesn’t have these additives so it doesn’t trick the eater into craving more of it. Food with additives offers quick dopamine hits to the eater. Kids are literally getting high on fake “food” and if that patten can be established early in their body, it’s a hard habit to break, hence the obesity we see and the lifelong tastes developed in adults who grew up on this diet
This is just wonderful!!! The memories they are creating is just PRICELESS ❤
When I was younger my mom gave me and my best friend a "fancy restaurant" experience the morning after our first sleepover. She didn't give us menus, but we did get seated, have our orders taken, and get served. It was a very memorable meal and one of the most fun experiences of my childhood.
SO PROUD OF THIS FAMILYYYYYY!!! Love them sooooo much!!!!! 😭
That's how I feed my kids too! My husband teases me for it, but I grew up eating multiple courses and properly using silverware and such in Europe. It fuels passion for fine dining and brings the family together. No electronics allowed at our table! ❤
Yes I’m in UK and we’ve always done it even before we had a proper dining room and it was just a table for four in a corner. TV off, clean hands and faces and a proper cooked meal ( not always fancy but nourishing). It’s lovely to see this little family doing things so beautifully.
Agree. When you’re used to a certain way of life, the high standard for how you do the most basic things has been set early in childhood and it’s very hard to come down from that and to live otherwise.. Anything else seems so foreign.
Luv seeing black families doing this. Bravo! ❤
Why did you have to mention black in your comment ? They are a lovely family.
Why does race have to be brought into absolutely everything?
@@happydays5989 because it shows that Black people are a layered individuals, and usually when Black people are shown on television or in the media in any capacity it’s in a negative fashion, it illustrates that there is a wide diaspora to the lives of Black people.
@spongebob squaredick ok racist
@Osazuwa Osayi I think the OP is pointing out black families being shown in a positive light.
SHENA!!!!!!!!! This is sooooo AMAZING!!!!! I’m SOOOOO HAPPY FOR YOU AND YOUR BEAUTIFUL FAMILY! 😭🙌🏾🤗💕✨ God Bless you and your gorgeous family! 🙏🏾🤗💕✨
I'm from EU & have traveled extensively. I ENCOURAGE everyone to try EVERYTHING, including local table manners and customs! A wonderful example of "teaching" your own children. Spending time with them. Interacting with them. Making them feel important and that they MATTER. This is fun play time but also learning time. BRAVO mom & pop. EPIC.
You warmed my heart! My mom did this for me as a child and for her grandchildren! We always laughed about how her grandkids, at preschool age did not beg for cookies from grandmama, but for asparagus with hollandaise! My mom was always one to serve children the same fare as adults at her epicurean parties when I was growing up. If the adults had shrimp cocktail, the kids had little versions of it! Other people would just serve the kids some hotdogs, but Mama would take care to treat her smallest guests with the same care as the adults with kid-sized portions of all the same treats. This shows respect for children and teaches them to explore cuisine and be open-minded, just as you stated - what a lovely education for kids lucky enough to have thoughtful parents like you! Keep up the lovely way you are raising your kiddos - as a parent whose kids are now grown, I can say this paid off in having children who were polite in restaurants and at formal events like weddings and who were never picky eaters. I love that my daughter used to order "water with lemon" even at the age of three. lol My kids grew up to love cooking for others and travel to explore other cultures - your kids are set up for success as citizens of the world! Much love to you and your beautiful family!
I like what you said: "setting your kids up for success as citizens of the world". I think this is how society is shifting now, which I think is a good thing.
I am so surprised that it isn't a thing what is concidered normal in the USA because I don't know any better day after day to let children eat the same food and having proper table manners. My granddaughter of 17 months eats already everything what you put in front of her and the same as everybody. Of course also shrimps and other seafood and all kind of vegetables including asparagus in the season. I don't think that my daughter would accept it if I give her child unhealthy food like hotdogs while the adults eat normal food.
@@lienbijs1205 I think it is more of a thing now, but my mama was an "early adopter" doing this in the 60's-70s. My own kids were appalled when we went to a very lovely family wedding and the truly sweet bride , in a very well-intentioned attempt to include food that was kid friendly, had arranged for all the kids to have a kid's meal of chicken strips and fries. My 4 and 6 year old had several adults literally trying to bribe them for their plane fare and they ended up trading their kids meals for shrimp cocktails, artichoke pasta, a lovely liver pate, quiche Florentine and some Calvados-based crem bulee that other adults didn't want. At one point the whole table rolled with laughter when my 4 year old requested in her baby voice "additional lemon wedges." I think things in the US are better now that more foods are commonly available, but in the mid-70's when I was a kid my mom would drive 45 minutes across Houston to go to the Epicurean market to find ingredients that are available at every corner now.
@@leeannsolice7473 I am fully surprised that adults prefer fries and chicken strips ( I had to search in Google what are chicken strips) over normal food. We are for sure living in different cultures, I didn't realize that before, but here it would be concidered quit rude to show you don"t like the food and exchange it with food of children. I mean, if you don't like shrimps, paté or whatever, what is fully accepted, you would tell the waiter in advance that you don't like it. It is not healthy to eat too much liver but here it is one of the favorite toppings on sandwiches, also from children.
The whole concept behind this is beautiful, but so is this FAMILY!
What a classy operation! Five stars to this lovely family, amazing parents, adorable kids, and world famous fancy restaurant. Why not go the extra mile for our loved one?
My god, is the mother not stunning? 😍 This is the greatest idea, looks like so much fun. Good job guys. ❤
OMG! That’s Ray and Sheena! I remember their first youtube video Years ago before she got pregnant with the oldest. I’m so happy to see this. Teach those babies to expect the finer things early. Those kids are going to grow up with great manners and high standards. Great job, mom and dad!
Is Ray a nickname? Cuz on their channels he goes by Naveen.
Wow! So classy. It’s a beautiful thing to see these kids not eating while on a device or watching TV. The whole concept of mommy’s Fancy Restaurant is amazing, there are nicely and neatly dressed. I am from St.Lucia in the Caribbean and this just blew me away! May God continue to bless this lovely family with favor. PS , you should trademark this name asap.😊
I read this while eating and watching RUclips videos. Quite frankly, I feel attacked.
This family is so great. What terrific parents. They are the kind of people who deserve to be parents too. Because being a mom or dad is a privilege, yet so many people don’t see it that way. So many kids get pushed off onto the grandparents, or are treated poorly, abused, raised in terrible homes, etc. and to people who should have *never* had them. So it’s beautiful to see people raising the next generation like this. Kudos to this family.

You can’t judge people who put their childrens in their grandparents! I ask my mom in law to pick my children up cause I’m a working mom and finish work late in the evening to provide my child education, sport, foods, and clothing, instead I spend my holidays and each weekend with my child doing activities. I agree for abused children but do not put us working mom who has no choice but working children is not only about love, it requires material and extra care for development.
@@Mickaelasama that is literally the complete opposite of what i am talking about. i was referring to people who have kids and then give them up for their parents to completely raise them while they go off and live life like they never had a kid. Grandparents are there for help when you need someone to get them from school or watch them for you when you are working, i never meant it in that way, clearly.....chill out.
@@corinnelsmith oh my bad i didn’t that kind of people exist actually
Love This😭🙌🏽 ‘a privilege’ !
What a blessing these parents are to their children AND the world. You start with good etiquette and you can take it all the way through to being kind to your service staff. I hope the children learn this and take it with humility, that’s a combination that really turns heads. Kindness and humility and the strength to follow through with it!
I remember I used to create “room service” for my kiddos at night and they loved it, I would let them call me for a late night room service and I would bring them Oreos and milk set up on a nice fancy plate and or ice cream and would create a fake bill left on their tray they thought it was the funniest thing and they never forget it ☺️
❤❤
This is so beautiful getting them ready for life . When they go out those babies will know what to do .
Beautiful and well mannered children and great parenting skills .
❤💯
Yesss and it’ll also help when dating. They go on a date with a person ride to the waiter --bbbyyyeeee
@@TheWarriorLV
It will teach them not to settle for a
happy meal and help them choose partners that are worthwhile and to expect great things out of life . At least their arteries won't be clogged up byeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!! 😀
The way I love this- I ticks all the boxes to train children to be gracious, grateful, and have impeccable manners--one fancy meal at a time!
OMG....I LOVE THE FANCY RESTAURANT AND THAT FAMILY!!!! They are really wonderful parents to their children....and those kids will have the best memories EVER!!!!!!!
How fun and educational! Teaching children to eat new things, and how to act in a restaurant!!! What a cool mom!!!!
1:14 “How they treat their servers is very very important to us that they know how to treat others!” Love this and the menu! “Welcome to Mommy’s Fancy Restaurant!”
BRAVO! WELL DONE! Now you can take your kids anywhere without them acting like fools. I did the same with my children and I can take them ANYWHERE and always be proud, They are grown now and sophisticated adults!!!
You my dear fellow mom deserve the best mom award. You have a beautiful family. Sending you many blessings. Merry Christmas to you all. You two are the sweetest. Happy to see.
Loved, I wish all kids have that opportunity!!
I’ve never seen anything like that before; That’s sooo cute!
Beautiful family ❤
Omg! I just love this mom & dad👏🏼such creativity, while teaching their children such etiquette, wrapped in love & fun….kudos. Because I was raised up….” Like it or not, you gone EAT ALL THAT’s On Your Plate”🤣😂WE CELEBRATE U FAMILY🎉🎊💐
She is fine, fun and lovely ❤ what a lovely family, God bless them all ❤⭐
Love this!!!! Def gonna do this with my kids 💖
Awww, what a sweet family - so nice of mom to share something so special with her kids. They'll remember this forever.
This is BEAUTIFUL!!! What a beautiful family. Warm parents. ❤️❤️ Keep going!! Such an amazing example.
What a legendary mommy. Education and the development of decent humans begins at home. Well done!
I see some future food scientists, chefs and critics. This is so fun and wholesome, I love it!
I’m so proud of Shena & Naveen! Ive been watching them on RUclips for years! She gives great parenting tips as well. Can’t wait to be a mom 😊
This is AMAZING! Absolutely wonderful! It's so nice to see someone teaching their kids how to behave respectfully, politely and with grace. This is one of the many things that is wrong with society today. Not enough thought is given to teaching children how to live well, how to interact with others in society, how to behave like classy, educated, good human beings. If this was done more often, I think we would see a shift in today's overly sensitive, my-way-or-the-highway mentality. Well done, Mom & Dad, for expanding the kids' horizons!!
This King and Queen are teaching their prince and princesses manners, math, reading, and verbal skills, and so much more.
How blessed and what an experience. The love and care that they are showing and teaching is PRICELESS
I’m in happy emotional tears! God bless you beautiful family❤
Let's all take a minute just to enjoy and recongize the love, respect, manners, that these parents are teaching these beautiful children. Let's not act like we've never been around some disrespectful, rude kids/parents well now days like it's so okay to a single baby mother(s). It STARTs from home, ppl.
This beautiful mama's feeding her children's hearts, tummies and minds! She's using food as her love language to teach them manners (appreciate servers, omg James Corden!), etiquette, open mindedness and introducing different cultures in the most healthy and fabulous way possible! Talk about nourishing the soul. Well this Soul Sister Scores BIG!
Exibiting proper etiquette and being respectful in their language in addressing each other!! It is just a beautiful wholesome expieriance to watch! This made me smile! Thank you for that!
Love this! When my family and I order pizza from Little Caesar’s, we set the table with goblets, chargers, linen on the table, cloth napkins…etc. We say a prayer, appreciate our food, and involve everyone in the experience. We are rich and this family is living rich as well. 🍽️ Money isn’t the answer. Richness is in the soul.
WELL SAID!!!! EVERYTHING IS IMPORTANT. WELL DONE!!!!
Tbh what I see the difference between fine dining vs normal is just that they put extra care in plating, service, manners and the table setup and anyone can do that no need money for it just effort
Your children's luxury experiences in life should always be provided by your parents first. So that when you get older its not some huge , rare treatment and you aren't hypnotized or easily brought when someone else treats you well . Beautiful
This was 2 minutes and 52 seconds of smiling for me! 🥰
I absolutely love this! What a blessing🙏🏾🥰
Great timing for this great family! 😃👍👨👩👧👦
👏👏👏👏 to this mom… she’s teaching her kids good etiquette, manners, exposing them to good behavior, respect, these kids are going to be amazing kids…Bravo! 👏🙌👍 Good manners, values, behavior, start at home…
My darling, you are phenomenal, I do and have done a similar thing with all of my boys. I love to cook good, healthy and wholesome foods. I bake and cook fresh on a daily. I love to present their food nicely and make it an experience for them. I'm proud for you beautiful. God bless you and your gorgeous family. I'm a single Momma and make it my duty to make the best memories for and with my boys. Merry Christmas 🎄
Excellent idea. When I was a child my parents and grandparents took me to many high end restaurants and I learned so much watching their behavior. At home all meals were cooked from fresh ingredients. No food fussiness because it was eat it or don’t. My mother never forced or bribed my sister and I to eat anything. Today I love a wide variety of foods.
I really love this...
kids should be able to experience fine dining just as the parents do and the best part..Its prepared at home so you know what your kiddo's are eating🥰❤
A woman that cooks for her Family will forever be adored!!
I love everything about this. But I really love that they are teaching their kids how to treat servers with respect. Bravo!
I love love love this!!! I've been watching masterchef, cutthroat kitchen, next level chef, etc and I've been practicing the "fancy" style of cooking for a few years now and it's amazing how your family of customers feel when they see this fancy plate of food served and they didn't even have to pay for it 😆 plating is an art and you have mastered it girl! You make me and Gordon Ramsey 👏 🥲❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎
A couple that cooks together stays together! What a tremendous family. Mom, you have put your passion to the best use ever!
Absolutely beautiful! This family is amazing😀This is how you teach children how to be respectful and appreciative at an early age. It always starts at HOME!
I'm overjoyed to see this. These are role models for children AND adults. I applaud you, parents 🙌🙌💯
You are setting their expectations for themselves very high and I think it's amazing. Love that you want them to know how to treat others and have manners, but also they will not be intimidated by "fancy" settings and they can blend in. Perfect job.
My parents always made an effort to have such “fancy” dinners on the weekends not least because those were the only times we could have dinner as a family since my dad was usually working late during the week. We always had to help either with the preparations and cooking, setting the table and thereby learning how one sets a proper table, lighting the candles and cleaning up afterwards. Weekend dinners were and are always special in my family and my brother and I even kept this habit at university and now that we are moved out and working. It taught me how to cook (things beyond a scrambled egg), how to set a table (placing the cutlery and glasses properly) and how to host dinners etc. On top of that these dinners were a time of long conversations about really any topic and I am certain they contributed to my brothers and my ability to hold a conversation about virtually any topic without a problem. The life skills taught at the dinner table cannot be overestimated!!
That sounds amazing. I wonder tho if I be a parent in the future and wanna do that too how to get the kids off from being a sulking gremlin bc I tried to takeaway their tiktok?
"try to teach them etiquette" BOOM!!! You had me right there! Yesssss!
They are raising them the right way. With such class and respect.
And look pretty you DO! Y'all keep up the great parenting. It matters. We took our children to fancy restaurants but this idea is so much better. We will do this one for our grandchildren.
This is over the top awesome. Teaching kids manners and to enjoy all types of food.
So creative, so much fun and so beautiful! God bless this family
God. Bless . You and your family! The world needs more people like you
The parents are creating memories and a positive relationship with each other and food. Thanks for sharing this post.
Love it. Great couple. Her smile is beautiful! Great lessons to be learned for the children too!
Ohhhh this Mama is beautiful inside and out 😍 so true …breaks up the mundane chore of having to cook and clean I know I get stale lol it’s a huge responsibility keeping everyone healthy and alive and interested in trying different foods this is a wonderful idea!
Love and attention to your kids is way better then what money can buy.!!! Good mom and dad
I love seeing mother’s finally being shown as having it all having their husband supporting them with healthy well mannered happy children omg swooning we love our family as well this gave me all the feels ❤
I've been watching them on RUclips for years and they really have been this way forever! They spend so much time with their kids its incredible. They do mommy and son dates etc...they really need their own channel!!! Love them what a way to push the community forward leading by example!!!
You mind telling me the name of there channel?
@@Zen_Zen_Zense Naveen & Shena
@@CBApp-un1dq thanks
I love this. The food is cool but what I love most is teaching their kids how to treat the wait staff, just treat people with respect. Awesome.
It so wonderful to see Black Families in a great light and to show that we are human and our families are important . And that our children are important and loved. And the best part I’ve always enjoyed that there were no WF in or around telling this Truly lovely Black Mother how to teach her own children how to enjoy and learn. They read the menu order there food and eat the food and no its not from MCD. Our children are wonderful but these parents are what every child should have to help them grow into health adult. With all my respect and all my love ❤
As an occasional substitute teacher, I tell them all the time, “It’s just nice to be nice!“ Thank you for parenting!!! 🧡👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Parent goals!! Absolutely amazing with the intentional parenting and so many lessons jammed into one. Great job!!
They are a beautiful family. I give the parents alot of credit because those meals look sooo detailed. God bless their family and I hope they always have that closeness.
What a stunning, lovely couple! And those children are such cute little cherubs 😊
Beauty inside and out is rare.
Truly love this family, watching them on RUclips for years wishing them all the love and success.
I’m so proud to see this in our community, she is the pavement of spending quality time with your kids in a creative way💕 and I am here for it!!! Very inspiring for future parents and those who are still learning ❤
ruclips.net/user/shorts3_67v0xCDhU?feature=share😊
This is amazing, for SO MANY reasons! 1) Love in action, by both parents 2) Bonding with parents and siblings 3) Exploration of their palates 4) Learning to prepare five-star meals 5) Preparation for personal and business lunches/dinners, including proper ettiquette and communication 6) The ability to share the knowledge and experience(s) with others. Well done, Mom and Dad! 👏🏾💐
What a wonderful gift to give your children good memories!!
It definitely takes two to raise a child or children and I was so proud to see them babies using their utensils so properly and using their manners way to go 🎊 ❤
Wow is right, kiddos! This is wonderful ❤️ I love this on every level!
She just doing whatever she wants to do and that’s so nice!!!!!! Beautiful family 😍😍😍
This lovely, these children will grow up with the taste for the bougie experience. Very nice. We need more of this. Good job parents
It's so beautiful how she is able to fully share her passion. It's even more beautiful that her husband loves it. Some people are ultra picky or critical only wanting one thing or thinking that being "elevated" is for certain people. Life is what you make it and she is exploring a beautiful life with her family and sharing it with others. 🥰🥰🥰🥰
