[@mariathornton0207]

As a child with a split family with different parenting styles, thank you for always picking up your kids when they are scared!! That is amazing and help them feel safe even when you are not with them!! .... On a different note when cats bring you dead things It's their way of showing you how to hunt because they think you need help.

Super proud of Landen to tell you he wasn’t comfortable . Our 18 year old had a similar situation last year at school she just wasn’t comfortable and couldn’t put her finger on why . I’m proud of our kids for reaching out even when things are hard . It shows tremendous growth .

[@whydoyoucare27]

Something is very OFF if Kaden refuses to go and Landen is terrified and wants to leave.

[@kelleythenurse3283]

I don’t know if Drake is still with his girlfriend but when they first started visiting, there were problems between Jess’s kids and the girlfriend’s kid(s). Obviously there could be other things that Jess or Kaden don’t share on KZbin, but Kaden stopped wanting to go or at least stopped wanting to go for long periods pretty quickly after the visits started.

[@Nioki1999]

Seeing how my nieces are when they go to their dads I can definitely agree but also consider the age they could be completely safe there but I see it has their comfort is with their mom because of how the custody is my sister has full custody of the kids and I see them act differently around the time they go to their dads. Also my oldest niece who is six has no contact with her dad he gave his rights away when she was three months old it was a dumb high school relationship the younger two are from my sisters previous marriage and they go see him once a month and they have every reason to not want to go he is not a good man he verbally and physically abused my sister I have witnessed it so it’s scary when they start freaking out and don’t want to go over to his house. Again they could be safe over there but think about what guardian are they with more then 50% it also could just be that 🤷🏻‍♀️

The fact that your kids know that you will come get them no matter what if they are uncomfortable is amazing. As they grow older, that trusting relationship is going to be crucial. One thing my parents have done right is let us know that no matter what they will always be there when we need them. In any situation, even if we messed up, they were always there. I think you're instilling that into your kids and it is truly a great thing. You're doing an AMAZING job Jess and Chris. Keep doing what you're doing.

[@Briannadawne0630]

To be one of the “fans” that have been here since Lilias birth I’ve seen everything you’ve shown us on here especially with the twins and Landon’s dad.. it’s sad to see he hasn’t made any improvements but it is good to see they know they can call you no matter the time or situation and you’ll be there for them.

Can I say how impressed I am for you being so proactive in trying to have the boys have a relationship with their birth dad? For the haters out there, IYKYK, they don’t want to see the good you do. The way you react when one of them call and say they want to come home, you don’t pressure them to stay. That’s one thing I love about you. Keep on doing you, I think you have it mastered!

As a long time fan who has seen the boys’ birth father for what he is, im glad they have you and chris. You guys are real champs for being as great as you are in not only raising 7 kids, but keeping their respective parents in their lives. Drake can talk all he wants about you, but you are the parents those kids need and thankfully have.

[@SuperMissblueeyes]

I can't believe Drake thought he could get away with telling a child off for calling their Mom when they're scared. If that was me, as much as I would want my child to have a relationship with their birth father, their birth father telling them off for calling me when they weren't OK would be the end of visits at their birth father's home until my children were old enough to walk out & get help away from their birth father. Like the saying, anyone can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a Dad. Drake has shown a huge red flag when it comes to trusting him to take care of your kids.

[@bridiebull5066]

i was a child of a split household and had to see my dad every fortnight, and it is so comforting that you are willing to take your child out of a situation they do not feel safe in. my mum did the same thing for me and it honestly means so much looking back. also super proud of landen for being able to reach out to u

[@alexismauck5867]

My mom always came to get me during sleepovers in the middle of the night when I called and as an adult it means more to me because I’ve always know if I call her she’ll come and I can honestly say she’s my best friend and I love that your kids can do that with you ❤️

[@BhappyD]

That’s what my mother always did for me as well, and I agree, it definitely means even more to me as an adult. No matter what time it was or what reason I gave, she would always come to get me without any hesitation, pressuring or questions or making me feel bad for calling her. If I ever felt even the slightest bit uncomfortable, I knew she would always be there. I’m always so happy when I see that Jess’ children feel comfortable enough to always call her when they feel uncomfortable or upset, and that she drops everything to go and get them without hesitation or making them feel badly about it. That’s an invaluable quality for a child to have in a parent, and I feel so lucky and blessed to have had that in my own mother, and to still have that as an adult, to know she will always be there for me no matter what. She will always be my forever best friend, and I couldn’t thank God enough for her.

[@brenna.husnik]

In years to come whether the boys have a good/bad/ indifferent or no relationship with their dad they will know you always gave them the choice, you listened to them, reasoned with them, never immediately dropped everything first and went running but when nothing else was working you went for them. With two clearly different styles in parenting there will always be a few issues and children are very different as well in what they need and or expect. It is also very difficult when living so far apart that you can't just drop them off on a morning and pick them up after tea. As it seems that it's the sleeping over part that generally causes the upset. Children should always be given a choice and encouraged to see the other parent when possible (obviously not if it isn't safe of course but even then often with supervision it can be done). Otherwise kids get to an age and it can back fire and they think "you stopped me from seeing them", "you only said negative things and poisoned my mind.". They need to be the judge for themselves generally and by communicating openly and advocating for them when necessary they will develop emotionally well regarding relationships. Honesty and trust are essential for kids to feel safe. They have with that with you for sure.

My parents are going through a divorce and my mom tells us that when we go see are dad that if we feel uncomfortable or scared we can text or call her ....and I feel like the boys did the right thing by contacting you Jess and not letting the situation get worse🥺😊❤️

i hated being not with my parents especially with my mom I’m an adult now and i still get that way when they go on trips of anywhere without me and its such a stupid thing. i guessing it’s because i was sheltered and babied a lot as a kid/adult being the youngest out of the 2 of us. Landon you’re not alone. hoping dad yelling wasn’t for any mean/control thing because thats effed up. glad to know he’s feeling better and you can feel this way no matter your age. ❤️

Watching jesssfam and eating disney goldfish while studying is the best 💜💜💜

Love your vids keep up the awesome work can’t wait to see more from all you guys

Dad gets upset because they are his blood and he believes they should automatically be comfortable there. But as a child of divorced parents where my Dad was barely in the picture...I was scared to death sometimes and so uncomfortable even though I truly wanted to try every time he could see me. Now that I am older, I get it. He still is not there and we are friends more than father and daughter and that is all it really is. I am thankful he wants to be in my life but also never going to have that relationship with him like I do with my step Dad. He just was not there and expects too much from me when I am even to this day. The difference is, I tell him no as an adult and he takes it better.

Chris you are such a awesome step dad.

The lashes you have on before dinner look so good on you!

My daughter is the exact same she needs some to either lay down next to her or sit in the room with her while she falls asleep. Some nights she will say I'm ok you can go now but most of the time I don't leave her room until she is asleep. She used to stay overnight at her dad's but he would complain that she wouldn't go to sleep for him etc. I explained how I do her bed time routine which is pretty standard I feel like, shower, pjs, book(s) and sleep. I said I sit with her even if it's on the floor by the door until she's either asleep or comfortable but he refused to do it. He said she could just go to sleep after books and lights out. She sleeps with a night light, I brought a second one for his house in hopes it would help her but nope she kept saying he would walk out and shut the door and she was scared as she wasn't used to the house. So I stopped overnights, maybe when she is older and doesn't need someone to sit with her they can start again but at the end of the day she needs to feel safe and secure and I refuse to allow her to feel scared and uncomfortable especially at bed time. The other parents just don't understand sometimes and it's sad they can't just help their child feel safe and secure even if it's not how they normally parent.

That’s so sad that his bio dad gets mad at him when he doesn’t feel comfortable. He doesn’t even try to comfort him :( thank you for getting your babies ❤️

[@chezgod99]

I think this is the earliest I’ve ever been to a jesssfam video

[@samaram1959]

Does anyone know who they were staying with?? That’s so cute how much he loves his parents and how much comfort he finds in them.

[@samaram1959]

Very sad that whoever he was staying with was being an ass to him when he called his mom. The parents trusted that person to make her kids feel safe and he didn’t

[@CezzL]

@@samaram1959 They were staying with their biological dad.

[@mollysullivan9038]

So excited for another vlog!!

[@pamelacunningham7668]

It's none of my business but it scares me that one boy doesn't want to go see his father and one calls early to come home. Doesn't sound good. Love ya'll for picking them up. Hope you discussed this at length with him off camera.

[@d.i.y.carley8985]

Watch Jess and Criss be that couple in the small percentile that can get pregnant after a vasectomy! 🤣

[@roryandsage]

Tell me your back in cali without telling me… I was going to say WINDMILLS!!!! Lol 😂

[@Chaotic8fam]

My girls dad does the same thing.. if my girls cry for me to come get them he will go into the room and yell at them. Now I’ll wait till I’m almost to his house (if they decide to go) and then I will call and say I’m almost at your house I’m coming to get our daughter. At least you tried and your boys see you trying!

[@samanthachurchill2652]

I am so sorry your child's father yelled at him! That is mental abuse. I am a child development specialist. This is so awful. I am so GLAD you picked him up right away.

[@G0hyunella_18]

Hope you guys are ok 👌🏼 love 💕

[@stellamcdougall]

Kyson and Landon have an unbreakable bond and they are so cute together

[@lifejourney48]

You are a wonderful mom sending prayers for everyone have a beautiful weekend

[@hyulim.6912]

Heyy, Jess! You are the best mom for your kids, good job mama!!!

[@Lexieplusthree]

Having your kids be away from you and call you in the millde of the night is so scary. It's happend to me twice. I'll always go get them no matter what. They actually haven't spent a night away since the last time. Adults suck sometimes :(

[@evssss3545]

i’m glad they felt they could call u my mom tells me 13 and my brother 17 that if we are ever in a situation where we have been not doing something good they will come pick us up at any time and no questions asked and punishment later

[@alainamcguire7366]

You are such a FAMtastic mom!!! Luv your vids 😃
