Mommy GUILT

[@theresearnesen8852]

Oh Bonnie your mother is just wonderful!! I got tears in my eyes when you guys talked about the mama-guilt that we all have! I know I do the best I can for my kids but sometimes you just get fed up and maybe yell at them just a little..... ;) It was so comforting to hear your mother say that the kids wont remember that part of you and I really dont think that they will, but sometimes we all get struck by mama-guilt and I think that is a sign that we are good mothers! You are such a good mama!!

[@kirstenkoch5920]

Your mom is the sweetest. She reminds me of what my granny used to be like... So much wisdom 😊

[@tohope8]

Totally crying over the conversation with you mom. There is so much GRACE in parenting. :-) Thanks for sharing that special moment with your mom.

[@taylorwhite6911]

Please do a video with your mom on marriage and kid advice! Mommy Q&A

[@TheChasingperfection]

Boston cracks me up! I know he probably makes you crazy sometimes but he is so funny! My eyes also got teary when you started talking about this phase in your life. I am only beginning it!

[@mrstimmyt]

I just LOVE your mom! I got teary eyed too. Weaning my two year old right now from nursing and I'm really going through the ups and downs of motherhood. THANK YOU for including this and sharing your ups and downs with us. LOVE YOU GUYS!

[@boydkatlyn]

Sometimes that's all us moms need to hear to perk our spirits: "IT GETS BETTER!" and i definitely need that after having a frustrating few weeks with a 4 year old, so thank you Mama Griffith! Boston's toddler talk is the cutest! I could never say my R's right when i was younger (still can't!) but somehow i don't sound as cute as him! lol :)

[@megmeredith4206]

All of your kids are so adorable but Lincoln is such a beautiful baby and how funny was Boston with that Oreo! It's so great that you have those moments on video!

[@michelleworden83]

Bonnie I was crying too when you were talking to your mom about how hard it can be to be a mom. The guilt is REAL! I love your videos and your mom is the sweetest mom!

[@FowlMouthMama]

I has having a really bad morning and dropped my kids off at school and felt so bad for telling in the morning thinking that all they will remember is mom yelling in the mornings.m (which isn't often) then came home and cried my eyes out. Then watched this video and cried some more because I really needed this today!!! Thanks Bonnie and your mom for blogging that conversation... I really needed to hear it! ;)

[@rachel9564]

That little wink he gives, is so adorable....i love this family!! ;)

[@sweettreatsyt]

Lincoln's growing up so fast! He's adorable :)

[@HAYYGIRLL95]

That whole scene of Boston eating those oreos made me laugh out loud!! SO funny.

[@alijane2175]

Absolutely couldn't stop laughing when Boston was eating the oreo's he looked sooo cheeky x

[@jonesnichole25]

"sometimes u like talking to myself" hahahah!! love your family.

[@AngiePants510]

I adore your family. :) Your mom makes my heart smile. You and your sisters and the kids and husbands all make my life bareable. I always feel guilty about shouting at the kids, or the constant "no! don't do that"s, or the "hurry up, we're late"s. You getting emotional over your mom's advise makes me happy. I feel like that when I call my mom and say "I'm having a rough day... A 6 year old, 2 year old and newborn makes me lose my mind!" And she says "it's just for now. soon they won't be little and you'll miss it. I promise. soon it'll just be teenagers. soon it'll be you and your husband." and she's right. I don't remember JUST the being sent to bed early, or the spankings or the mean mommy looks.. I remember the good things! I have faith my kids will remember the good things and also have a few good stories to tell. Like the time mommy had a melt down in the mall and sat on the floor crying because daddy ordered a pizza (but really it was the end of a horrible horrible week only 2 weeks after having a 3rd baby!). lmao! What's that song? it won't be like this for long. When I am stressing out, I put that on and take it to heart. ;)

[@selenozz1987]

Your mom is so sweet you guys are such a good hearted family

[@elenalouise]

I needed to hear that talk you had with your mom about does it get better and what our children will remember! It brought tears to my eyes. Your mom made such a great point by asking you if all you remember growing up are the times when she lost her patience. And that's not the case. ❤️ Thank you!

[@msshadows]

Thanks for sharing Bonnie. I truly see these vlogs as a reminder to capture more of my own family of six on video. They are my window and passport later on to look back and cherish. Yes childbearing and raising children are tough years but they are so precious where so many milestones are achieved.

[@Mmm-xi7fx]

Bonnie thank you thank you thank you from the bottom of my heart thank you. For being honest and for being real. So many people hide their hard times and frustrations with parenting and make it seem so easy, and I'm always left feeling guilty and mean and incapable because I breakdown and yell and get overwhelmed and frustrated. It's so .... liberating to know that I'm not the only person who ends up yelling most days. So thank you.

[@elizabethhoath]

The chat with your mum made me teary because I feel the same!! And no matter how old you get, you always need your mum; I'm 30 and still seek my parents guidance and opinions. Big hugs from Melbourne, Australia xx

[@amandav3484]

Thank you for the encouragement that came from this video! I needed this today. :) I loved seeing your Mom and learning from her. Us young Mommas need mentors like her. You and your siblings are really wonderful parents and have beautiful families! :)

[@TheBraskyHouse]

The kids are getting so big. Bonnie, you still have tons of pep! Your mom is so wonderful. 💛

[@FatRaptor123]

Boston's 'sleep walking!' had me in stiches! :-) xxx

[@AloneInTheGarden]

Boston is my spirit animal. Waking up in the middle of the night wanting hotdogs, and pretending to sleep while eating Oreos. 😂

[@kaileenlove99]

you truly are an Amazing woman!! i have 3 under 3 and feel like i have so little patience and yell often as they seem to "forget how they should act" from one day to the next. i love watching how you are with your kids you give me hope. thanks for showing us the Real you. keep doing you mama 😘

[@breyb3950]

all of your kids are so adorable but Boston is so hilarious escpecially when Boston was eating the cookies/ oreos while he was trying to sleep

[@idellalindsay5257]

That Boston!!

[@vanessaraye2126]

omg Boston is so freaking cute I was cracking up he is a comedian your mom is beautiful all you are love you guys

[@emilywassenberg6128]

Omg! Boston with the Oreos!! Stinking adorable :)

[@kyliegill4482]

sometimes all u need is a chat from mama, she sure made me feel better. from a stressed out twin mama from scotland. your doing a brilliant job.

[@cheercrazee1]

Boston-"why would I go to sleep mom when I can sit here and eat oreos!" :)

[@StephFranco55]

Bonnie you are such a cool mom! You can tell your kids think that too because they always want to be with you and in your business. That is so sweet and beautiful!

[@cyndiaquino3874]

Your mom is an amazing mom and grandmother. I wish everyone had a mom like yours. I also LOVE how close you all are, it's something I want to strive towards with my family.

[@courtball77]

Oh thank you. Thank you so much for asking your mom that question! Today has been one of those rough mommy days and I needed to see this today! You have such a beautiful family and I love watching your videos!

[@ShariTate]

I just love your mom! She is just too cute for words and she has such a sweet heart.

[@sarahbowers3383]

I love how you let your boys get involved when it obviously takes a lot more minutes with them instead of with out them! Your such a sweet momma

[@BrittanySanchez]

Bonnie, You're such a good momma and I truly believe you get it from your momma. She is such a sweet, tender, and lovely person. Keep up the amazing work. You truly inspire me. With love, Brittany

[@EricaBaderRaisingtheBaders]

I feel your pain. I feel like all I do is yell at my kids, I also have four kids and my husband works out of town so it's so stressful and nerve wrecking when they won't listen and I have to do everything. Hopefully things will look up soon.

[@nicolebegovic1483]

omg, your mom's advice really reassured me. My mom isn't alive, so it was like having a mom tell me what i needed to hear!

[@OurLittleHomestead]

Mom advice; it's worth a million bucks when your needing a lift! Thanks Mumsie!! Bonnie you are such a wonderful mother. No worries! Your children will remember all the good you both do for them. Again, enjoy each moment 'possible' and find joy in knowing your little family is safe and loving towards one another and others too. Blessings, from a mother of eight adults who are now giving me grandbabies! YEAH!!

[@OurLittleHomestead]

+Janie Pendleton PS. PUMPKIN OREOS are out for the Autumn season, everyone! MY FAV by far!!!!

[@janewalls6254]

[@erinstraughn6929]

such a special moment between you and your mom! think of how fun it'll be for your kids to look back at these videos when they're wondering what life was like for their parents once they're parents! xx

[@thefreylife]

"Oh I'm so glad I didn't cut your knee off!"-Bonnie Little victories people :) Don't forget to laugh everyday :)

[@lavanderrose204]

[@paumtzfts]

Boston is such a boy. He is hilarious and so adorable, melts my heart!

[@amandagartner5676]

I am soooo glad to hear that I am not the only mom who tends to yell... I love that your mom was so sweet when you asked her about it too!!! I think a lot of use get lost in motherhood, and keeping a clean house, that that is all we know for quite some time. We can all hang in there together!!! (I have a 6, 4, and 8 month old).

[@Ashley__Rose]

OMG at the end when you said "see you in our next video" all sassy like- 110% Olivia hahaha!!

[@andreag2398]

Bonnie, you are an incredible mom! I love watching your videos...I don't have any kids of my own yet, but when I do, I hope I'll be as positive and patient as you are!

[@amberjellison2587]

Just scrolling through KZbin and this popped up! Awe I'm so glad I watched it I've been dealing with a lot of "mommy guilt" lately!

[@melnrys]

Bonnie, you give me such hope seeing how well you manage 4 kiddies. I am inspired by how you mom it gives me confidence!

[@bethanya6955]

I was seriously crying while you were talking with your mom! I'm exactly where you are and feel like all my 4 year old will remember from childhood is mommy getting on to her! So encouraging!! By the way, what makeup have you been wearing? You look stunning!

[@TheHouseofR]

Tell your Mom I teared up as well when she said it would get better! I needed to hear that as well today! Thanks Mom! 😉😧 - Melissa

[@LindsayDroke]

Bonnie I loved your talk with your mom! Made me cry! I feel like she said when I put the kids to bed sometimes I wonder if all they remember is yelling. Thanks. For sharing

[@AnnaAlert]

Your mom is just the sweetest! Very wise! 😊

[@lisawillett7410]

This was so cute and such a tender moment between your mom and you. i LOVE mommy help......and she made the best point ever!!! u talk so highly of your mom so I know for sure you do not remember her yelling all of the time. She looks and acts like a best friend. You are so lucky........u have alot of support

[@Jordynfire]

I would love a marriage and kids advice with your mom!!! I got a little teary eyed listening to her! My parents are divorced, I'm a newly married mommy of two! It would be nice just hearing it's just life, all I feel like is a mom and my husband works all the time!

[@EmilyDiCaprio17channel]

Boston was SO cute when he was sneaking around eating those Oreos! By the way I agree with you Bonnie, Scandal is amazing :)

[@RoxanneCouture2]

Bonnie's excited because she bought a big pepper. Lol I'm the exact same way 😅

[@halletolbert6609]

In our house we what the same tv shows!! Love every one of them that you said especially Scandal! Love y'all!❤️

[@heatherthomas3125]

Great video as always. Your mom is the best. It's wonderful to see the relationship you guys have together. My mom doesn't like my husband so she chooses not to have anything to do with us or my kids. We have been married for 20 yrs and she doesn't have a relationship with my kids. Thank goodness that I have have a precious dad and step mom who do love my kiddos and they adore them! It makes my heart smile to see how much you guys love each other!!

[@mattryan5713]

I think your mom should do a vlog. I so could just sit and listen to her. I love her voice she seems so calm and just full of love for family. She seems so sweet! -Brandy P.S. I share a you tube with my hubby :)

[@andreashea7236]

I LOVE BONNIES MOM, HER ADVICE IS SPOT ON. "YOUR JUST LIVING LIFE" AMEN!

[@ktsls82]

My husband loves Muppets too. :) I would love your sloppy joe recipe and salsa one. Maybe you could do a Cooking with Bonnie segment sometime?

[@catherinelee2012]

I am watching this vlog months later and it made me feel so much better. I am 33 weeks pregnant and I have felt so bad lately. I just feel like I am so inpatient all the time. It was a nice reminder that it is only temporary

[@nicolelongstaff2273]

thank! I needed that, these years are hard.

[@marymorgan7997]

Talk about patience...definitely Joel!! :)

[@MrsARosenberg]

Bonnie, your mom is so amazing! I just want to borrow her for the weekend and give her a big hug!

[@meganboyer1730]

I just stinking love you guys lol. Bonnie I had to laugh so much when Cody asked why or who you were talking to And you said you usually just talk to yourself! haha I was like... me too Bonnie, me too. Can't wait for the next video. & Strength to the both of us during these "childbearing years" ;)

[@selenaojeda143_]

Your mom is so sweet. Can I have her? Lol she gave good advice. I needed that! Bc I feel like I'm always yelling at my kids! :)

[@Mjgodley0729]

My husband, Ace, loves the muppets and we have been watching the new show too! I personally think it's boring but I still watch it with him!

[@JusKissable]

I LOVE when cuddling a baby and they sigh.... just 145 days till I get that baby cuddles again!!!

[@maddyjackson2]

Lincoln is so perfect, just as perfect as the other three

[@kyleighschlegel6117]

" what are you talking to mom?" 😂 so cute! ❤️

[@darbirhian]

Awww so precious: "Why are you talking? Who are you talking to Mom?" hhahaaha

[@heatherpugatch]

Letting your kids help with cooking is so important. It teaches them confidence, independence and a life skill. My 5 year old can make pizza from scratch (minus the oven of course).

[@emilygrace5676]

How funny and cute is Boston trying to sleep and eat oreos!! X

[@stephaniekardinata3853]

I feel like Codi is always asleep and seeing them sleep is the cutest thing ever👶👶👶👧

[@Blackcatlibrary]

I have almost the same jacket!!! Love love love it! I have the one where it says pink down the arm rather than the sequence. Love the sweet vlogs

[@rachelmast5168]

Why are naughty children so cute!!! I laughed out loud.

[@husseintoney]

Your mom is the best. We need a Q&A with her.

[@audrini2298]

BOSTON IS SO ADORABLE he just says "mommy I want some goldfish." LOL

[@audrini2298]

Boston is so sneaky with his ores taking techniques

[@summermcginnis1818]

That's how my husband eats his Oreos, rolling around on the floor with his eyes closed hehe 😜. I'm not a huge Oreos fan but this makes me want some

[@TheHouseofR]

Haha!! 😁
