[@maxcullen3427]

[@teresagalvin6233]

Same 💯

[@rickysmom809]

Been watching the Buckleys since lockdown started. LOVE them. They are so relatable, genuine and real. ❤

[@carlamasson4302]

Cant wait for the Buckleys podcast! Their chats are my favourite part of their vlogs, always such a laugh!❤❤

[@jeanjones7183]

Love this. Actually feel for parents in this social world. Respect for Buckley's involvement with boys , keep them away yet involved 😍

[@robovac3557]

Yeah, they handle that side really well.

[@rebecca1725]

Omg I was waiting for this one the Buckleys love them

[@stefaniegalea6810]

I have 7 children that have all had great vocabulary for there ages. People always used to ask me “how I got my children to speak so well from a young age”. I was always baffled and just said… Ive spoken to them properly since they were born. No baby talk or silly names for things, Just spoke to them as I would a friend and I guess it must have worked !!!

[@tjj4lab]

One of my fav podcast I love these 2 esp James I can relate to them on so many levels both from my own childhood very similar to James and also now a parent in my 30s I'm very protective of my son same age to their eldest of going out alone in this day n age so different to when i was a kid. Love to see more from this lovely couple

[@maxcullen3427]

Great too see the Buckleys spread their wings but still keeping honest and down to earth couple. Great too hear you talk more about kid’s personalities they seem like top boys and love the way you are so protective of them !!!! both long hair working ur probably only parents who like longhair on sons mine hated mine than 30 years later hated skinhead

[@Silentauditor974]

Loved that… no more words!

[@sarahsearle9598]

This chat resonated with me so much! My kids are the same age as theirs and we have these same conversations. My daughter goes out to meet friends and I drop her off and she messages me when she's ready to come home. She knows that she can message me any time and I'll be there- even if it's less than an hour. She goes to sleepovers and knows she can ring me and ill be there even in the middle of the night. I don't recall my parents being the same. It's the best way x

[@niamhtinds22]

Loved this so much💗such a relaxed and positive viewpoint

[@anitahargreaves9526]

I really enjoyed this, kept me awake only wanted a nosey, ended up watching in full. Great chemistry with you all, can tell you are friends off camera. Thank you for sharing this ✅👵❤

[@tiffcat1100]

What a cute, cheerful show, loved it, especially the joy of the Friday 4pm. Even if/when they get invited to parties etc on a Friday night, it might be something they want to put into place when they have their own children, ie it’s becoming a family (present/future) tradition 🥰

[@stuartmills299]

Amazing people, they are great and are very inspiring!

[@daviemcf]

Great pod James and Clair, very funny. Poor wee Jude with his shirt on backwards and shoes on the wrong feet, just as well James spotted the shoes lol.

[@charlottepeet1615]

Really enjoyed such as positive account of having children young, it’s something you don’t hear very often these days! The only thing I have to add is I just wish James would change his hair - say goodbye to jay 😂😂

[@brianjohnston3707]

That's his style ' it wasn't Jay's 😂

[@georgeboardman2066]

Grate interview I really enjoy this kind of video it's relaxed and fun I follow the Buckleys every Wednesday and I even watch the old video from time to time that's how sad I am 😂

[@RyanG235]

At home with the buckleys podcast YES YE SYSSESEEYES

[@chattypixie]

Absolutely love the Buckleys

[@benjoyce2383]

Great pod !!

[@lawrencerobertskinner9751]

Great podcast great guests ❤

[@upendasana7857]

They sound like great parents and a happy family,sadly think they are not typical of many families in how engaged they are and communicate so openly.Communication has to be the most important thing in any family and they sound like they have that in spades.Lovely couple and parents.

[@samsmith5-1]

This podcast was brilliant, so funny throughout and can’t wait for their own podcast to come out 🙌🏻

[@rhiannoncox5797]

I love Claire and James . We have two boys and we hunker down on a friday night film and chill just us. We also loved lock down just the four of us ❤

[@slaxxxer]

The points about how dads are more soft today was interesting - james, while being far from average or typical is such an average modern 30/60 kinda guy - the influences of the vibes of the eighties and nineties are there, the "booze, pretty girls, video games & kebabs" lifestyle is alive & kicking in him & the only surface level & very obvious difference in him compared to the same kind of guy from previous generations is he has absorbed that you do not have to be a traditionally aggressive male & his relationship with his kids demonstrates that very well. For all the people crying "Woke" when it comes to this kind of subject James is the perfect example of a man who retains the fun of being a "geeza" but is also sensitive, loving and a friend to his sons. it really does not rob men of their masculinity with regards to the demands made of us as a sex in 2023 - just dont be a wanker - that's all!

[@SirHilaryManfat]

Well said!

[@slaxxxer]

​@SirHilaryManfat Thank you! 😊

[@HamptonFarly]

‘When someone goes to sleep complaining about their arse and wakes up complaining about their neck’

[@stephenedwards382]

[@chetgoodenough8749]

[@markmcgowan3653]

James and Claire I don't really do vlogs but i watch there's all the time and the thing I like is there so normal and relatable plus they like to reply and interact with there viewers plus they are funny as fuck

[@mariajefferies8555]

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤

[@tiffcat1100]

🥰🥰🥰

[@HamptonFarly]

John is the best Beatle shut up! 😂

[@Maria-jl7ql]

I also liked lockdown!!!

[@warrenb243]

We did the ante natal classes. Still didn’t teach me how to change a nappy - which we realised neither of us could do the minute ours was born.

[@silversteel6312]

No parent should be best friend to their child and vice versa. It blurs the boundaries and from the child’s perspective causes confusion. A parent is a source of unconditional love and support but best friend not.

[@upendasana7857]

rubbish.you can still be a friend to your child plus they know you're the parent and that you set down rules and boundaries etc.They sound like great loving parents who enjoy their own childrens company and hanging out together.As he said they make sure their children know they are there for them unconditionally to share anything that might be on their mind. Nothing wrong with these as parents and plenty of other children who don't feel they can even speak or share things with their parents or feel loved in the way these two obviously love their kids and are engaged in their lives.
