To the parent that needs to hear this, it is worth it. Don’t give up, there is an end to this ‘never ending’ phase of your life. It happens so gradually you’ll almost miss it but one day you’ll realize they are too big to hold on your lap, and too grown up to kiss you on the cheek. 😢

[@jasonflay8818]

I don't have kids, so maybe talking out of turn here, however, I want to thank you both, for showing the realities of life. Too many people online show only the perfect version, or the idealistic version, but the reality is that we are all flawed, and everybody's house is messy, and people are busy, and people are happy and real and have great lives. It is not necessary or healthy, to live in an Instagram ready household all the time. To you all and all parents you are killing it.

You're lucky! I just started drinking coffee about 8 months ago now and I'm one of the 5% of people who it makes tired, so if I was on your schedule, it would def have to be energy drinks! 😂

A lot of people with ADHD actually can better relax on caffeine, even fall asleep. Before Ritalin (and after now that we know how bad that is for so many kids) doctors are telling even kids limited and scheduled coffee/caffeine can help them better than medications that carry more risks. Although other focus foods would be cod liver oil and nutritional yeast mixed in with the V-8.

[@SRose-vp6ew]

I just want to say congratulations on school and college. My husband and I did the same thing. Even taking turns working and watching the kids to avoid debt. It was all worth it. 🙌 God bless you and your current season.

[@-living4jesus4ever-]

@@NadiaSeesIt congrats on your first! It could be a LOT at times when they all had a need all at the same time when they were super small, including trying to meet our own basic needs somehow in the midst, haha! But it was and is so worth it and grace for ourselves to laugh at mishaps, slow down and savor the little years makes it all worth it. Being home a lot, living a more minimalist lifestyle, purging and simplifying the home, lots of time outside, praying together, and cherishing simple living activities like snuggles over books and teaching them life skills around the home such as chores and basic kids cooking etc makes even the mundane sacred. 🩷 God bless!!

[@Banyo__]

The levels of respect I have for parents of newborns is astronomical. Double that for a single parent. At certain points you just don't know if up is up or down is down, and you find yourself thinking, have I been outside in 3 weeks? Have I put on a shoe that wasn't fuzzy.

My 4th baby turns 18 in 2 weeks. My husband went back to work the day after we came home from the hospital so it was just me getting kids off to school and home alone with a 1 year old and new baby. Some days it feels like you have it all together and some days you struggle just to make sure everyone is fed....My husband took a month off work after our 5th born and that was heavenly!

[@elizabethh6638]

How do you afford 4 kids and get to stay home? I am asking this seriously. I really want just one baby and to be a stay at home mom. I am not sure if we can do it though

[@MomtoaFullHouse]

@@elizabethh6638 Actually, we have 5 kids! The youngest is 15 and the rest are all adults now. When we were having babies it was a different time. We bought our first house when we were 19 and my husband had 3 part time jobs (we bought it for $86,000 and now it would cost over $400,000). We struggled a lot over the years, but overall we found that, with one parent home the other parent could be more focused at work and be a better employee which provided promotions and pay raises along the way. Employers didn't have to worry about the parent calling in sick because their kid was sick or they needed to take them to an appointment or they got in trouble at school because the home parent took care of that stuff. Laundry was done, dishes were done, meals were cooked so the working parent didn't have to deal with that stuff. It just works well. Also, we didn't have flashy cars or take expensive vacations and we didn't have to pay for daycare (HUGE expense!)! Currently my husband is a (local) HAZMAT truck driver working 60-70 hours a week.

​@@Mama_Bear524 God wasn't surprised. Read Psalm 139:13-14 and think on it. There's no such thing as an accidental kid. Maybe accidental parents, though. Obviously, yours were well past that stage, so no, you were not an accident. No need to continue believing that lie about yourself.

I know that this sounds like it is never going to happen, but there will come a day, in about 25 years, when you and Heidi are sitting watching all of your kids with their kids and it is going to hit you hard just how profoundly worth it it all is. People are really not that good at delayed gratification but that moment when you see all your hard work come to fruition is amazing. Of course, watching your kid deal with their kid having a meltdown is pretty great too. You can just sit back, sip your tea and laugh at them, "Ha, ha it's your turn now suckers" Enjoy it. It goes way faster than you can ever imagine. Congrats on your beautiful family!

[@g.flesch9731]

As a grandparent, I so enjoyed the "5 stages of new baby" LOVED every moment & thanks to all daughters and sons for taking the plunge & becoming parents otherwise I would not be a grandparent. It is so worth it, for ME, to get to hold the most perfect baby cause I know at some point of my visit, I will not feel guilty leaving a newborn baby with it's parents. So worth it! Bye-bye! Time for MY yoga class & I think I will get a chocolate milkshake after class & later We'll go out for dinner & watch Netfix. So worth it! I am so happy. Grandparenting is just so so easy.

"my body is making its own espresso" 💀

[@bblakeley82]

Good job, Dude parents! As a parent of 5 kids ages 13 to 7. It is so very much worth it!

[@dawndanelle3488]

Amazing video as usual! I've just got my rhythm down for my 3 boys, ages 4, 2 and 9 months and now Im expecting #4 in August. This time I am a single mama though so I'm terrified! The sleep deprivation is the absolute hardest and to think it was hard with the help I did have... ahhhhh.. Your family is so beautiful!! Congratulations again!

[@RachaelCarri]

Yes to all the stages!!! Tears in my eyes with that last one. 15, 14, and 3 over here. It goes so fast!

[@jessD26]

Can we just acknowledge that Heidi pumped 45oz 👏🏼

[@tiffanylarson2104]

I have five kids (pretty much all grown up now) and I laughed so hard when Taylor said everyone crapped themselves!

"Walk the cat!" 🤣😂🤣😂💀

[@f.sailaway5549]

I have 5 siblings and I think about my parents getting the first four children at intervals of 15 month between the nativities. Wuhaaa! You nailed it! That's how they felt. But... it was worth it. ❤ You're such a sweet couple and an adorable family! I love watching your videos.

[@citychicken9949]

Currently pregnant again and I'm TERRIFIED😬 . Thank for the laugh, I needed it!

[@Kasumistern]

When you where at "3 Finding your rhythm" I was thinking "damn, can't remember that phase" but then you went to "4 Loosing the rhythm" and I was like "yeah that's more familiar!" 😂 But yeah. So worth it. 💖

I don’t do anything for myself I just do everything for everyone else….. That’s my life right now too. As a mom of a new born a 6 yr old and 3 yr old. Starting a business with my husband and preparing for a huge family garden I can so relate to this video. Thanks for doing what you do. You bring a little laughter to my day. God bless.

Haa haa. "My butt is making its own Expresso". Hilarious !

[@joycealgood8418]

OMG y'all nailed it. Needed something so funny these days 😘😘😘😘😘

[@DudeDad]

glad to provide the funny!

[@MsAuburnluv]

Those first few weeks are sooo hard to function! The fact you’re still making videos or even parts of videos just Blows. My. Mind!!! Good for you! *Crawls into bed feeling exhausted for you…*

[@BrittLoney]

You are all ADORABLE!!! And you make an AMAZING family c:

[@irelab5674]

I can't end up tearing up at the end of ALL of your videos Taylor. Stop it. My husband doesn't understand english and he looks at me like i'm crazy 😂

[@jedsonjadiel]

This is so accurate! 😂 I'm pregnant with our 5th baby! And I'm terrified, since we homeschool 😮

[@emmablumer9158]

We homeschool with five 8 and under! Our fifth turns one on Friday and we made it through the school year this past year - some crazy times but you can do it!

[@Heather6971]

You can do it! 😊👍 (from a mom of five kids who's been homeschooling for 19 years)

[@jedsonjadiel]

@@emmablumer9158 thank you so much for this encouragement!

[@jedsonjadiel]

@@Heather6971 thank you for stopping by and encourage me!

[@womble901]

I don't know if you'll see this Dude Dad, but my husband has trained our dog to respond to "so you wanna..?" It's ridiculous and hilarious.
