02:03
room real quick is that okay okay okay
02:12
though I remember being a kid it escapes
02:15
me how complex my thoughts were toward
02:17
my father his approval was my ignition
02:19
his attention was my greatest audience
02:22
now because I’m side by side with all my
02:24
failures I can’t imagine that someone
02:27
would think of me that way but deal he
02:31
does so what are the rules and this is
02:40
how you lost you but the only goal you
02:43
have to get an armored person to win is
02:45
to get them off the carpet
02:50
okay you mean the blanket now I don’t
02:55
know any other family youtubers purpose
02:57
behind recording but this is really a
02:59
place of research for me look at this do
03:03
is looking right at me
03:05
while recording this I didn’t notice but
03:07
as I’m editing I’m seeing he is focused
03:10
on
03:13
[Music]
03:16
[Laughter]
03:17
[Music]
03:48
[Music]
04:06
[Music]
04:27
[Music]
04:50
they wanna they had a key so you know I
04:53
headed to the base by keeping my summer
04:55
gonna want to give it on but I gotta
04:57
give it up I’m gonna go and get tough
05:01
[Music]
05:13
everyone has their own way of dealing
05:15
with pain and everyone has their own way
05:17
of public comfort people in pain in
05:19
today’s climate we are awarded when we
05:21
comfort young boys and tears but what if
05:24
the young boy doesn’t want to be
05:25
comforted what if he wants to comfort
05:26
himself surely if Thea would have ran to
05:29
me I would have embraced him but I think
05:30
it’s important to allow him to go
05:32
through his process he wants the baby
05:43
story time that’s when we talk about you
05:45
know what a funny story or interesting
05:48
story for one of our kids
05:50
so yeah it’s chocolate the story time
05:52
you want to go lately I’ve been
05:54
realizing what a good big brother Theo
05:57
is oh yeah I mean I already knew that
06:00
but the other day we went to the beach
06:04
but the kids are being silly so I just
06:06
forgot my coat and started recording me
06:08
and they’re having a dance party and
06:11
having fun and then all of a sudden my
06:14
father and feels do act so quickly I
06:19
didn’t even have to stop recording or
06:20
drop my phone an ocean or anything
06:22
Theo axel quickly is where he picked her
06:24
up and then as more waves came he put
06:27
himself in between her and the waves so
06:30
that the waves were like hitting his
06:32
back and not really getting her and I
06:35
could tell that she just felt so safe
06:37
and so like protected by her brothers
06:40
and I don’t know I just really
06:42
appreciated that about feeling well the
06:44
best part of that story was you saying
06:47
oh my gosh you saved Ania and Eagle
06:54
that was the best part this is to
07:00
balance everything else we were watching
07:02
we were watching The Karate Kid with
07:05
Jaden Smith yeah in Jackie Chan right
07:08
and there’s their first time seeing it
07:10
and I don’t know if I’ve actually seen
07:11
this movie all the way through but we’re
07:13
watching it and at the end of the movie
07:15
I’m gonna ruin it for you at the end of
07:17
the movie he’s like getting beat by this
07:21
like kid and the kids like punch him in
07:24
the lake huh it feels like he was
07:27
watching the whole time yeah feels
07:29
watching the movie the whole time he’s
07:31
into it and like and then like deal it’s
07:38
not funny
07:39
Oh like he just like he wore all the
07:44
emotions from the movie and I started
07:45
screaming and crying and I’ll use this
07:54
kind of looking at him and then he like
07:57
falls under the cushion and the couch
07:59
and like puts his head over and then
08:02
Ryan walks over goes yep he’s crying and
08:08
it was like what is wrong with you but
08:10
it just was like okay it was like me
08:12
watching business I see on didn’t know
08:14
it was like I mean okay now it was worse
08:18
way worse but he really I don’t know for
08:21
some reason he just really empathize
08:23
yeah but at the same time I was kind of
08:25
like oh it’s not that serious and it
08:28
showed like the swing of his emotions
08:29
and how he could black out just
08:32
sometimes he just blacks out tell me
08:33
what happened to you so what happened
08:38
okay so me and I were fine and somehow
08:44
we but right and here
08:50
I like what two of the pieces in that’s
08:56
why I use my and actually why you didn’t
09:05
rhyme and that’s why he was why did you
09:14
run upstairs you wanted some air we got
09:24
oh yeah did you hit your I know it gets
09:28
hurts you know what I just realized
09:37
sometimes I hold my son to a higher
09:40
standard than I hold myself I expect him
09:45
to manage his emotions and control his
09:48
anger or frustration and sometimes I
09:52
don’t know if I’m pushed to the limits
09:54
to where my anger and frustration are
09:57
going to go out of control I just don’t
10:00
know if I experienced that on the
10:01
regular but he does because everything
10:05
that happens wrong feels like it’s the
10:07
end of his world
10:09
[Music]
10:21
[Music]
10:30
so at this point uh now he got sick and
10:32
we kind of had to tend to her for the
10:35
rest of the day and there are some more
10:37
shots I can pick this up where we left
10:38
off um or I can move on to another kid
10:41
let me know what you want do you want me
10:43
to go more into this field story or
10:45
would you like me to you know talk about
10:47
another kid um but just so you know this
10:52
is a privilege right so some of you guys
10:56
commented on the last video like I’ll
10:58
believe you messed up here you messed up
10:59
duh I know I’ll be messing up and part
11:03
of the reason why I show everything that
11:05
is happening and that I mess up and I
11:08
leave those parts in the video is
11:09
because I don’t want you to miss make
11:13
the same mistakes you don’t I mean like
11:16
I’m going to continue to mess up but I’m
11:19
going to continue to show you that it’s
11:22
okay even if you do mess up you’re not
11:24
gonna ruin your child you know the cool
11:28
thing is you can see you can watch you
11:30
can make adjustments you might be you
11:32
might be a blind spot in your parents
11:34
and you’re not sure of but this is this
11:37
is a privilege that’s not a right so I
11:39
appreciate all the accountability but
11:42
trust me you’re definitely dealing with
11:45
a lot of it over here and we know that
11:48
we are responsible for greatly not
11:53
wholly but greatly on how this kid turns
11:56
out grows up that he’s affirmed that
11:57
he’s loved all those things so we think
12:00
about it a lot in addition to that all
12:05
the music on this channel or sorry all
12:09
the music on this video was brought to
12:10
you by music bed from a group called to
12:14
drink junkies and yeah but I cannot keep
12:19
your Network popping thank you guys so
12:20

12:22
