Cleetus Family Update - Two Kids Under Two Years Old! (Family/Life/Business/etc)

Fam update with Madi and our two children. Sorry we don't post these more often!

[@Gkitchens1]

I will never understand how you can run a race track, and an airport, 2 KZbin channels a racing team, a ful racing garage and a family. Kudos to yall.

[@CleetusM]

The answer is good employees who are paid well and love their jobs.

[@dalemr2]

​@@CleetusMemploy me :) I'll be your best (and only) English employee ever !😂

[@kylegazeley6192]

Please never apologize for family nosies it is just live!! Thanks for the update

[@DiZZoLabs]

It’s so amazing seeing the evolution of the Cleetus Macfarland channel. From the Quaker state oil and lube car meet to today. Happy to be a part of it and thankful enough to experience the FF multiple times. Can’t wait to see what the future brings. Many Blessings Matty & G.

[@gazza6663]

Brother I’m telling you nothing has made me happier watching this…. Being a very busy man working 60+ hours a week trying to make future financial decisions for my family, and of course having my 2 beautiful boys ( now 7 and 3) and you have made me realise how much everyone struggles with this, but to take the battles in your stride and enjoy the moments when you can. I really appreciate you and Madi posting this truly. Thank you Garrett and Madi.

[@BandyShoot]

Very excited for this video! As a father of 4, soon to be 5, the family life is like no other! 💪

[@brianmanda4744]

Congrats

[@mikesilva8493]

God bless you and the family

[@cleetus2mcfarland20]

Good luck brother that sounds like action!

[@EricHendricks-oy5zw]

You, good sir, need a hobby

[@Colonel2Bill]

Love to hear of big families nowadays. My wife and I tried for 2 years to have a fourth, and unfortunately it wasn't in the cards. Congrats on the 5th, very cool.

[@TheCharlieSmithChannel]

Respect to you both man. I've had a glimpse into what you're going through as I had 2 under 2 (13 months apart) while I was starting my channel. Unfortunately, me and my wife broke up so when you said that there is nothing more important than choosing who you have kids with wisely, I felt that in my core. I have 3 kids with 2 very toxic women and it's made life so hard. I had to fight a horrible court battle for my kids while dealing with my breakup, and struggling to make youtube work and make enough money to live. I just know I have to make this work for my kids so that is what motivates me. Thanks for sharing and giving an insight into your personal lives. I really appreciate it

[@bretthart4471]

This brings back so many memories seeing you two going through the same things my wife and I went through. And the schedule thing hits so close to home. It makes such a difference. Crazy how one little change can effect multiple days.

[@JasonEsquivel]

When the little ones start talking it's such a different stage of enjoyment. Especially as a Dad. Hell yeah brother!

[@dontblockthebox]

As a father of two, whose mom and I are in the middle of splitting up the part where you said who you decide to have a baby with is very important. That part really Hit me . I don’t wish what I’m going through on anyone. I would have done anything for this woman, and now she doesn’t even let me talk to the kids (not even on Father’s Day) my kids are everything to me and this is killing me. I admire the relationship yall have

[@alexdavis9324]

Sorry for what you're going through. I hope with time the situation can get better. Good luck my friend

[@deadeyeMckilljoy]

Hate to hear this. They are your kids too. Lawyer up my friend. Be strong and fight for it.. you have every right to be there for your own children.

[@richy77g99]

I know your pain brother. It was many years ago for me, but just know you’re loved. You have to keep thinking positive as hard as it is, because that type of pain has the power to destroy. God hasn’t abandoned you as much as it might feel like that sometimes. Just keep hanging on brother, change is coming and you are loved

[@SuperRespect88]

you're a legend my man cleet. everything you got going on is ideal for most of your viewers, we lookup to you so much brother. cherish cherish cherish

[@erikwordal6096]

Hang in there guys. My son is the oldest, he drives us to the brink many times, but also gave us some of our greatest memories. He was labeled ADHD in grade school but we didn’t accept that. Yes, he could be a big pain. Yes, he made me crazy, but he turned out great! We made him excersize and swim in his teen years, no drugs, kept him busy…. He is 24 now. Got his contractors license at 22, super hard worker, and a natural leader. God bless the Mitchell family.

[@daneisenmenger4615]

Having kids was like jumping on a moving train and trying not to die. We survived. We learnt on the fly and haven’t looked back. The days are long but the years are short. Enjoy your gorgeous family cause they are what’s most important.

[@creekhandyman5974]

Gotta say, “the days are long, but years are short” kinda choked me up

[@goosenotmaverick1156]

😢 so true

[@Highsfishing]

@@creekhandyman5974this whole video and comment section has be choked up man

[@pomsrcadventures8482]

I have 13 and 17 year old girls it never stops that joy you get from just seeing them, the frustration, the money.

[@jaystuard4336]

I have a daughter and son 13 months apart, great times! They are 14 and 15 years old now, enjoy every moment, they grow so fast!

[@billybuilds]

Having your kids so close in age was the best decision. Theyll grow together and goto school together. Beautiful family there. Congrats

[@MrHeisenb3rg]

Can confirm. My sister and I are 18 months an apart and she’s been my partner in crime for literally our whole lives.

[@marshalllapp49]

I agree. My brother and I are 18 months apart too. Inseparable until we got married/ families. Our families are close and we still hang out several times a month. Still mischief and shenanigans. We are nearly 60 years old.

[@brandonrupp5880]

They will have someone to depend on their entire childhood.

[@MrMeagz]

Enjoy as much as you can bud, My daughter just turned 12 and my son will be 16 in less than a month. You’re gonna miss this part someday. Beautiful family.

[@RomanDirge]

Love this man, congrats on your beatify family. Your wife and kids are your real legacy, the other stuff is just really cool!

[@DatSick]

Mcfarlands being open and raw! I dig this side of sharing your family, I found it to be very relatable. Thank you 😊

[@jdizzforyou]

Congratulations you 4, they're almost carbon copies of you guys from our perspective! We all wish you the best of luck in health and happiness, you truly are the American dream on display for the world to see. Thanks for giving us a little behind the scenes look. Such a beautiful family, can't wait to see future updates from this rambunctious crew!

[@666BloodEagle]

Give Ripp a summit catalog. Hours of enjoyment scanning the pages. He will love it.

[@justinregister795]

The maturity journey Cleet has been on is amazing! From someone who has watched him grow up via his KZbin videos, its been crazy to watch. And brother, you absolutely NAILED it when you said that WHO you have a kid with is so important. Man I feel like that may have been the most profound thing that you said in this video. And Maddie referring to Cleet as "another adult in the house" was WILD! Hahaha

[@Racingwife3380]

This is a great video seeing the “family “ side of you all! Your kids will grow up strong because you all have a strong, loving, positive relationship!

[@Racingwife3380]

Being a parent is such a selfless job. Tiring, trying, crying but also the most rewarding, fun job!

[@muddybluntz29]

Let's go cleet it's amazing to see just how far you've come since the start of this journey. Absolutely beautiful family and wish you all the best. Hell yea brother💯

[@gtuttle4]

I totally understand! I have two granddaughters and we go and baby sit a lot! I am ready to come home! But I love them more than anything! It gets better when they are like 4 or 5 years old. Cleetus you have a beautiful family so thank the man above every day!

[@Eric_Broome]

It’s amazing how helpful is it to hear these videos. My wife and I have a 20 month old and our struggles are so similar. Makes me feel good relating to someone going through the same struggles.

[@effortless_choice]

“3 under 2”…fixed it 😂😂😂 Thanks for sharing your beautiful family with us. 👍

[@asylumental]

For your kids being a sensitive sleeper, I CANNOT recommend enough to get a Dohm white noise machine. Seriously that machine was a life changer with my first born, and I've continued to use it for all 3 of my kids. Now they're old enough they don't need it, but I still use it FOR ME.

[@a-a-rondavis9438]

A box fan is a cheap and reliable way to have good white noise.

[@asylumental]

@@a-a-rondavis9438 that's basically what a dohm is except it has multiple airflow adjustments so that you can dial in the exact tone/frequency that is soothing to you. You can get white, pink, Green, and brown noise frequencies

[@willbutler2639]

I just commented something like that. But mine can make rain, wind, all kinds of sounds

[@Jamisons_World]

It is very evident that you’re a wonderful set of parents! Without having the love and support of my parents and them constantly encouraging and enabling me to experience things and try stuff, and figure out who I am with their involvement, I don’t know where I’d be today. I know not anywhere good, though, as a lot of people I knew growing up without their parents being super supportive turned to things like experimenting with drugs, crime, etc. Kids will find influence whether you provide it or not 🙌🏻🙌🏻❤

[@johnperez93640]

Its a very different experience raising kids without being "well off". The stresses of financial situations is totally different. Clothes, food, bills, rent, payments, repairs, emergencies, its a different experience. Of course u have payroll for employees and fuel bills and tires and race track and airport expenses. But at the end of the day, u have a stacked bank account, financially stable, steady dependable income/salaries. Huge difference in life raising kids. Thanks for the content. Keep em coming.

[@given0fox968]

The realest props to any mom with 2 under 2 makes you a BAMF 👍👊🇺🇸🤘

[@Ethan-pr6pk]

I have 2 kids at the same ages as yours and I cannot believe how much you two do while being great parents. Keep up the great work guys!

[@bummer42]

Glad to see the family healthy and happy. That was some great advice for any new parents also!

[@rodneyk8838]

I really like that you guys are keeping it real...There is something about saying that stuff out loud what you've been going thru that helps..I dont understand how but,i think this video will help you guys to stay even closer!!Beautiful Family CLEET !!!

[@ernestoramos7777]

In the Mexican household we raise kids to be able to sleep through anything and everything. Loud noises, vacuuming, music. Helps from having kids that are sensitive sleepers

[@MrRunWO]

For my kids we were as loud as we could be when they were sleeping and now they sleep through earthquakes 😂

[@Ewxm]

Fantastic update, 2 under 2 is the best especially one of each. As they grow they will be so close. Best wishes!

[@jsully.]

Beautiful fam. Cleet congrats man. Cherish them moments. They grow so fast

[@Flyingdinosaur69]

Living the dream, brother. You must be one hell of a busy man I cannot imagine. My favorite family on KZbin. Also, never feel ashamed to step back and take time off the KZbins to have more time with the family, or try to keep the kiddies and family life off KZbin. Your true fans/friends understand.

[@Chongy28]

Thank you for this update video Cleetus and Madi. This one hit me hard. So many great points i can relate to as my wife and I have been going hard the last few weeks preparing for our 2nd. Although we waited between (our son is 7) I'm a dad who works on the road mon to fri or sometimes 2-3week stretches away from home at a time. The points you make about the balance of when you walk in the door and need to transition from work life/home life couldn't be more true. Our son was the same way with his sleep routines and sometimes i just felt completely helpless to my wife but luckily I did choose the right partner and this video just opened my eyes as a great reminder to just how freaking much I love the family we have created snd wouldnt change it for the world as we get ready to welcome #2. Thanks again!

[@ThePocketMedic]

Congrats brother. Enjoy all the moments when they're young. I couldn't wait for ours to grow up so we could do more fun stuff with them, but now I look back and miss their younger years.

[@tyesalhus5604]

Family looks great. Garrett getting old bud LOL. Wife looks very happy which is awesome. Killing it my guy. Track, airport, race team, builds, merch, business’ everywhere. For young couple I don’t know how it’s done. I wish I had half the energy. You are Parker make your folks proud everyday so awesome job.

[@merqury5]

Just keep your health in focus Garret, you are the key in this entire universe. Many things can be down scaled when you need it. Just down try to wait out difficult decisions.

[@Agtech4020]

You two are awesome and have such a beautiful family. Always put family first and love every family moment you create!

[@DatSick]

22:48 they are young dogs just by continuing to love them and show them they have a propose in your life by giving love to your kids. My first Labrador lived 17yrs of my life, and his brother a Pomeranian pushed 14yrs. ❤

2 weeks out from my first. Wifes induction date is July 8th. I could not be more excited and terrified. This video has been extremely informative and helpful. Thank you guys!

Funny hearing all this stuff. I think everyone who does this as a couple comes to realize doing it solo is nothing short of amazing.

[@SSGMinotaur]

Glad you and Rip have such a good connection Cleet! Should be fun to watch for many years to come

[@chrisheiney8469]

I appreciate the video brother. My wife, 20 month old son and myself watched this as we ready for our daughter to be delivered the 3rd. I pushed for the 4th for a freedom baby

[@aroncontreras6924]

Hey Garrett. I have beem watching you since you're putting noise makers in your Corvette, exhaust. I've watched you. Grow your career and your family. Over the years, I would have to say I'm very proud of you for the The stable business and family man that you have becoming. It seems to be a lot easier when you have a good woman at your side. I am a 30 year Journeyman in my career. 50-year-old father of 6 kids, 5 boys and one girl ages between 26 and 7. A husband of 11 years. I would have to say my greatest accomplishment would be my family. Keep up the good work. Hell yeah brother....DIFD..

Right around 18 mins, is what I experienced with our second child. Thanks for sharing!

[@douiejordan7990]

Enjoying you two sharing a update on the family. It a breathe of fresh air to see how in.tune Garret and Matty are with each other and that is what will make it easy to raise children. You're right, there's No easy way to deal with kids at all ages if your relationship isn't going well and will cause problems with your family life. It awesome that you openly share this in the channel. By how ir looks that you can be open and say or express to each other things that most people don't sgare or say out of being embarrassed i guess. Idk what I'm getting at. Good to see how base you are and always stay based eith everything you do in family and the your business my friend. You're just blessing to me and my family to witness your lives to us.

Father of 3, the more kids you have the more you lean on your lady to be mom of the year. Especially if youre the breadwinner. Its not an easy ride, but its a ride, brother. Never forget you have a place in it all, thats what trips up even the best. Still working that one out. Sounds like youre doing the right deal.

Love the openness and transparency. We had our third when our oldest was barely 3, and I gotta say, adding the 3rd is even less of a change than it was adding the second. First baby is 100% harder than no baby, second is 50% harder, and third is 33% harder lol

My wife and I have raised 5 daughters and now they are grown adults and they bring us so much joy. Was it tough? absolutely! but the reward of investing in their life is priceless. My advice from someone who is going to celebrate our 45th wedding anniversary in September....Put your wife first. When you guys put each other first then it makes the team work much better in raising your children. Thank you for sharing, I love your channel, May God bless you

You both got this. Don't forget what matters the most. You guys are awesome.

[@monkeywithawrench27]

Our second daughter is due in just under 3 weeks. Glad to hear the second one is easier than the first! Our daughter is turning 4 in a week. It gets easier. Up until a few months ago I still had moments where I wasn't sure I was ready for another. I'd say just after 2 - 2.5 years old is where she finally got to the point we could take her fishing and start doing the thinks we used to do again without pulling teeth.

[@jr8043]

You’ll unlock the next level of enjoyment when Rip is 5. The next level starts around 11. Gets even better at 14! I’ve got two boys 12 & 14. It’s so much fun these days.
