DAD TRIES HOMESCHOOL FOR THE FIRST TIME *STRESSFUL

I took over for my wife and barely made it through the day. Stumbled through homeschool lessons and tried to remain positive. We have 4 children 7 year old, 5 year old, 2 year old and 8 months old. Overall I'm glad my wife left and gave me some time with the kids. She deserves a break!!

Favorite parts...The Snack Time shot, the happy dance when you got Uzi down, the under the counter shots of Uzi in the rocker, the preview of Miss Anaya at the end, and the music as usual. I feel God's peace over the phrase "be alright".

[@hopehouston5732]

Agreed!💯

I felt that part about fatherhood not getting any easier as time goes on. My son is 4 and I'm starting to see many more ways that I can make an impact. Second one incoming this July :)

As you were changing Uzi's diaper, I was thinking about how when we're in the midst of God cleaning up our mess, sometimes we're fighting God, crying, kicking an screaming thinking it's never going to be over and how much peace we feel when we're on the other side of that mess. How we can relax in his presence when His work (in that area) is complete.

[@lovelife8968]

So true!

You are a awesome father the kids are blessed to have you and your wife as parents. Yall Balance each other out as parents🙌. I'll answer your ? I think you should Adjust your parenting style per kid.

[@BeleafInFatherhood]

Thank you for answering! I agree!

[@BigTuna-xs8ic]

Your hair is AMAZING

[@kimlewis1618]

I love his voice when he’s narrating.

[@DrZlessons]

Just had a similar conversation with my three: parent to the need of the child meaning my capacity to love you all is the same, but it will look differently because you don't share the same needs. You did well Beleaf! I respect your juggling act.

[@ericawer6832]

Some children grow up to resent that. My uncle was very high need and so my mom and her sister got less. They are in there late 30s and mid 40s. My aunt resents it to this day and holds it against my grandmother. I would say to be fluid and if one child become high need come up with a plan to pivot and circle back around somehow.

[@DrZlessons]

@@ericawer6832 High need doesn't necessarily equate to more to me. My daughter has different needs with multiple allergies and eczema. It would be unrealistic to treat my son, who has no allergies and little to no anxiety resulting from it with the same approach. I don't give her more or less attention, her attention just doesn't mirror his. Fluidity for sure because later down the road his trepidation with sleeping in the dark warranted a different level of attention than she needed with desiring to sleep only in pitch blackness. One size will not fit all.

[@SueProv]

Oh Uzy is such a sweetheart. Both parents and kids need to adjust. Parents need to lead and guide but not rigidly each flower has it's own sunlight and water and correction. Anayas push ups. LOL All I can say is. WOW...YOU ROCK Favorite part of video is Glen calm and presence to each child as the each needed even simultaneously.

[@natv6563]

Sue Prov Beleaf is super calm! Love that part also.

[@caymanianchesttv9754]

Beleaf, In 6 weeks I am going to be a first-time dad and very much looking forward to it. Your videos have helped me understand what it is like to be a great dad and what it takes.

[@Ky2urHeart]

Nah who the hater who thumbs down this video??😂🤔👀 This was somewhat of a throw back video seeing you at home with all the kids alone. It's kinda like Beleaf 2.0 more kids but you seemed to have more patience,control and confidence.🖤

[@can-can9]

Your face walking out of the bedroom after putting Uzzi down is priceless!! Aniyah walking down behind you with allll of the bracelets, so black girl magic!! Uriah's face after he slapped Theo's hand in the hand game, so full of confidence--Uriah "be like", "dis is what I dew!" And Theo's sincere focus and then shock with a smile when he was doing his learning game on the tablet was an interesting catch on camera. He was in his zone, "caught", yet recovered quickly with a smile. What a legacy y'all are creating for your entire family to look back upon!

[@sisteremjaybee4979]

Candice T look at you narrating so eloquently!

[@hadassahholder5175]

How does George not die laughing while recording? 😂 A true professional! If it was me you would see the camera shake and fall to the ground at least twice a video

The edit are on points too. The transitions, the angles, the story telling through the lens. I love these kinda videos.

my favorite part definitely has to be the way you chucked them snacks at the kids lol

[@kungfoopencileraser]

Uzi’s expression in the thumbnail 🤣

[@FromtheeyesofShaun]

😂😂😂😂😂 his facial expressions are the best and he's so sweet lol

[@RUNWAYBEAUTY]

Uzi saying dada and you dancing out of the room after putting him down were some of my fav parts. ✨ feels like just yesterday you were home with the boys and Yvette was teaching outside of the home. God is so awesome.

[@lennichagittens6329]

I always love everything about your vids... but def got teary whenyou we’re putting Uzi down & you kept kissing his lil cheeks... I do that with my son too- it’s like you get so overwhelmed by the amount of love you have for them in that moment while they sleep so sweetly.. Love watching you & Yvette parent, keep doing what y’all are doing! ❤️

Threw them snacks cool as hell 😂

[@mistat4954]

this channel is really good i could watch his vids any time

[@jessicamillions4863]

I clicked on this because I thought it was gonna be a silly video that made me laugh, and it did, but I was truly touched.

[@BeleafInFatherhood]

Wow thank you!

[@lildjmix08]

Videography goes crazy🔥🔥🔥

[@TheLifeJOGJourneyofGrowth]

I kno right! I thought I was the only one watching it from a videography/creative perspective.

[@NYCE55]

watching you put Oozy to sleep had me remembering the times I had to do just the same as you. people will always ask "how do you do it?" the only thing you can say that it's all God. Blessing Beleaf, you are always an inspiration to me to keep doing my best.

[@SweetDee101]

I can't believe I've been watching since you had half the amount of kids, crazy how much yall have grown

[@cynthia4given]

Hey Beleaf. I've actually been following you since #Dreamjunkies KingsdremENT. And I've gotta say I love how you do your own music for the videos with your own youtube channel with your beautiful family. I know that Christ is the center of it all and has blessed you and your wife with those beautiful children. I just want to say GODBLESS!

[@ambernextdoor]

Ugh! These beautiful children! ....I wish we could see a vlog with Yvette living her best life on this day lol

[@maiyaadrien6376]

Children naturally have different temperaments. For example, one child may have a calm temperament and never cry while another may make a fuss easier then the others. So, you should raise a child according to their temperament.

[@CD-ll9up]

Haven’t even watched the video but Uzi’s face in the thumbnail has me weak!!!! 😂🤣😂 He’s like “I’m too young for this!! Why y’all got me here with these jokas?!” 😂🤣😂🤣

[@PHE-nomenon]

I loved everything about THIS video. It has more of, 'a day in the life', type of feel as opposed to an 'episode'. 😅 I'm only @ 7:40 seconds in 😆

[@peaceobu7225]

I like how he just go direct to the video without talking a lot

[@TheLifeJOGJourneyofGrowth]

Actions speak louder than words.

[@sandrafajuyigbe3136]

Its a blessing to see a black father taking care of his children. I never had a earthly father that would take time to take care of me like that but I let my Heavenly Father help me through it all. I don’t even have kids as I am still young myself but watching this channel and seeing how much progress you guys have to overcome its a true blessing to see.

[@breanacarraway6395]

Beleaf, you are killinggg it! Your kids are gonna think back and say, “ahhh, those were the days.” (You’re also killing the editing game, sheeeesh!)

[@misstrice84]

This vlog played a huge part for me in considering to have children. I know for a fact that it's not easy and anyone who tells you it is is lying, but I love being able to pour into little ones and watch them grow to become their own person. These are like the conversations I never had and don't think to have with my parents. Thanks for sharing. Stay dope.

[@TheLifeJOGJourneyofGrowth]

If you are considering having these little humans, I encourage you! They are amazing beings and will teach you more than you will teach them.

[@coolingwinds]

I loved the analogy that you made between you loving your children the equally (4:20), but not in the same way, and how God loves all of His children the same, but not in the same way. Very good reminder for when I start comparing my life with others during times of trials. I'm getting exactly what I need, when I need it from my Father who loves me.

[@_QueenofCaliSouth]

Wow, this is so wonderful to see husbands do their wife’s job and experience first hand what we endure on a daily basis being mothers and wives is such a difficult task. Great job Glen & kuddos to Yvette for getting a much needed break🙏🏾👌🏾😘😘😘

[@kalebbailstorm9733]

To answer the question, I'm not a parent, but my mom being a single mother for most my life I did what I could to help and watched her. Something I watched her learn is that every kid is different and needs a different kind of support system to be brought up the best they can. While you can make the kids adjust to you, I don't think it's always the best method and makes it harder to capitalize on each kids individual strengths. they're all going to be different. For instance, some kids need to make the mistake and learn why it's a bad idea while others can simply be explained and other will watch the example of their elder siblings and learn from their mistakes. Some need tough love reality checks every now and then and other need calm and loving support circles to be guided the right way. It's important to evaluate the children and make sure you are guiding them properly to be the best them they can be. Not a parent though, yet, hopefully one day lol. I'll see if I change my mind and what hurdles I'll end up facing.

[@myhubbyislouisvuitton4218]

I've two favourite parts, when you put your son down and walked out of the room like a Don. Your smile said it all. Also your daughter in the mirror at the end....just magic, you guys created magic in those children. Blessings🙏🏾

[@nicoles4257]

Parents adjust to the child. Kind of like love languages. You learn how to love the person in a way they can interpret as love. I would imagine that's how we should approach our parenting. The core lessons don't change but the method can/does. I'm here being convicted in my parenting of my daughters as I type this....

[@GrowEvolve78]

Parents need to adjust to the needs of their children. Each child is different. What works for one won't work for the other.

[@jsrmommi2260]

I was so frustrated today trying to teach my son who has been out of school for 3 weeks. This has encouraged me to be more confident and patient with myself as a parent. Something are just about progress and being in the moment; I just had to see it first hand. Thank you for helping me, much love.

[@brandiemotley6549]

that snack time edit tho 😎

[@charmainewallace7414]

Loved this video! I came up in the era where raising and taking care of the kids was the women's job. So nice to see you love and care for your kids while Yvette is gone and not appear to be bothered by it. Loved this video.

[@Cherylscyclevision]

Beleaf your children are so blessed to have you as their father. Unfortunately, I did not have this kind of a relationship with my father until I was well into my late 50's. It took a lot of forgiveness on my part to finally have the relationship I wanted to have with my father. Continue to show your children that you love them and always be there for them. My favorite part was when you finally got Uzi to sleep and did the victory dance. This is an absolutely beautiful vlog. May God continue to bless you and your family.

[@wandawilliams3110]

I really enjoyed this video.. You didn't let them see you sweat. You're an awesome, Father and Husband. Thank you for sharing it with us.

[@ButAVapor]

Sheesh! Uzi already crawling AND ready to WALK! Slow dowwwn! Lol.

[@IM-A-Healed-WINNER]

It may be Theo's natural coloring but I had dark circles under my eyes as at his age. I had trouble sleeping deeply and appeared tired all the time even though I still had that kid energy. As an adult I finally got treatment for sleep apnea and realized I had been robbed of good sleep for years!

[@jaechanda7]

Favorite part: Dad dance after Uzzi went down. Yes to sleeping baby lol but I love your family so really it’s all a favorite! And Uzzi is a perfect mix of all the children 🥰 beautiful chocolate babies!

[@shardailyjacob7457]

In the end after Uzi diaper change, i got into my feelings about my own family an" when you said, everything is going to be alright, I started crying a little. Thanks for the word's of encouragement. God bless everyone on here amen.🙏🏾💘💘💘🙏🏾

[@andrearobinson6414]

The content is great and I love your family but the camera in this video is sometimes out of focus and shaky, which detracts from the enjoyment of just watching and enjoying your family. Otherwise, thumbs up on all of the other great work, raising a family with such commitment is such a blessing so well done for being such a great father.

The dance and face that Beleaf had once he put the baby down. Priceless.

[@kanzihale1864]

Oh my gosh the end! I used to be a nanny for 3mon and 9mon old and I felt that stress of trying to put the baby down Without waking him up and the dance once it finally sticks, man I felt that so hard 💕

[@danessiawilliams-mellis3542]

My absolute fav was Beleaf's victory dance for when Uzi fell asleep. Brings back memories. I felt it.

I'm not in the season of parenthood but isn't it unsanitary to change the baby on the bed? Isn't there supposed to be a changing table or something? Love your vids! been following you guys ever since the first house!

[@AlexiusDenelle16]

Kenz Lipscomb 😂 parenthood can be unsanitary. But In the way I see it, I created this child. So anything that comes out of their bodies is like 🤷🏾‍♀️. But by his fourth baby, I’m sure can change a diaper without getting anything on the bed.

[@cycyj847]

I think as children get older, parenthood is even more difficult. Especially if you're trying to do it right. I only have one child and you have four. My baby will be 17 in a few months. Each stage of parenthood comes with its challenges.

[@indiald3373]

Mine has ventured out of teendom!

[@Talldoll1]

My guess is in the history of parenting parents have always adjusted to the kid's style. I'll bet we can even find it in the bible. But slightly more relatable than the bible days, as a millenial I know that my parents and most others were raised in strict households. But I know my grandmother didn't have the exact same expectations for all 7 of her children. I know that she required certain things from my mom because of her personality and my oldest aunt because she was the oldest and so on. She probably wasn't super coddling with my mom when it came to helping her in certain areas because with whatever she had going on she knew that my mom's independence would suffice for watching her from afar. Same with my brother and I. We were definitely raised with the same values and morals but we were treated differently and upheld to high expectations but different. My parents are as perfect as the best of them. They weren't. So I think my parents' push for me in sports and push for my brother in academics was a clear statement about how they saw us and I didnt like that. 🤷🏾‍♀️ That's my perspective but I dont have kids 😳 but I hope to be able to do what's best for each one.. even if they're twins

[@qhayiyanongogo56]

I can't answer the question cuz I'm still a kid myself, however, being an African I feel like I know our continent and it's people really well: looking at you and your kids physical appearance, if you are African and not Caribbean, I would say you are probably originally either from the DRC or Ghana. I would put money on it!!! Yvette looks very ambiguous though, couldn't really say. Okay, thanks for attending my TedTalk.

I've been gone from this channel for so long. Somedays God reminds me to come back to it. Seeing this representation of fatherhood is so encouraging. While I don't have kids of my own, I work with a lot of youth that look up to me. I recognize these struggles every day. I vibe with the idea that I care for them all differently.
