Mom vs Dad: Mental Health!

[@sharingchabadinspiration]

0:18 "the best gift that you can give to your kids is a healthy version of you..." same with spouses: they dont need monetary needs, the most that you can give them is :YOU! Totally agree with the saying "no". Its a "illegal " word for most. But love to say it with meaning and showing that I care! Love these kinds of videos - please do more!

[@aprilbateman6366]

I watch Dude dad for my mental health because Laughter really is the best medicine!

[@justgopherit3454]

I don't know what either of you would do without each other. You balance each other so well.

[@dylansousa5571]

Taylor and Heidi you are great parents

[@MafaldaM17]

Music is therapy YES 🙌🏻

[@naomireaves3742]

I agree with everything..... but saying social media can be self care is self sabotage. LOVE YOU GUYS! You are pure souls that deserve all of life's happiness!

[@jenniferbates2811]

This is so friggin awesome!! Understanding that our mental, physical, emotional and sexual health are ALL connected. Our kids imitate us. It's important that they see us love ourselves and see how we take care of ourselves.

[@sandrathomson7288]

Love this channel- so entertaining. I love the fact you guys have a strong relationship, honest, lots of humour, realistic challenges.

[@EarlWallaceNYC]

This is a valuable service you guys provide. It's that "How To" and "Been There" knowledge we use to get from our seniors, before we all moved 1,000s of miles from our seniors. Good stuff. God bless.

[@aliciamarin5226]

"Not having to explain something to a 4 year old". Preach!

[@brittanys.7191]

I am literally hiding in my bathroom from my kids to watch this video… It’s like “mom mom mom mom MOM!!!” Private Bathroom visit is my mental health treatment lol

[@tiffanygarthwaite702]

Yes!! 😂😂

[@Mama_Bear524]

I about lost my crap the other day. And part of it is because I know it’s not my kids’ fault but it’s hard!!

[@katcross8810]

We had to put a porta potty in our driveway when we remodeled our downstairs bathroom. That thing is the best! No one can find you in there!

[@jamiethomas3768]

6:27 you guys should try Mimi Page’s dreamy, cinematic and ethereal songs.

[@BarberPhotography]

I think it is important to recharge and try to make time to do things you enjoy outside of just your role as a parent and spouse. A lot of times, parents give so much to other people, work or their community that they are worn out all the time. I am always encouraging my friends to make self care a priority and that it is important in restoring your energy and contentment.

[@timborski1210]

my yard, it's my zen time plus the compliments from the neighborhood makes me feel good lol

[@torij1649]

Some of the best, clean fun laughs given in todays world!!

[@TheKickshaws]

Amen!!

[@MrEgofreak]

I think it's 'cause they're so genuine!

[@virginiaw8608]

Girls night out...I love it. But I don't have a lot of girl friends who are available. So I like to grocery shop, clean the church or garden alone. The Hotel a mile away is so true! We live in the woods, so the nearest city is where we go. Went off for a night without the kids and just refreshed our relationship 🥰 we do this at least once a year but try for 2-3 times. It seems simple but it works.

[@raegates]

This was Soooo good! One of my favorites. So honest and "insightful."🤣🤣

[@jeffdukeman7031]

If you could LIKE something multiple times, I would on this video. I agree on doing the mundane tasks and being able to focus on something that’s on your brain and really let it be therapeutic. Also, music is my happy place too. I love watching you guys. Thank you for being willing to put your lives on display like this, and allowing us to relate with you about all the things. P.S. Come to Ohio !

[@WK_Jetz]

I'm so excited! Taylor and Heidi are amazing parents!

[@sierrabokoskie8374]

Yes! Just say no. To your kids, your husband, your friends. Not all the time but sometimes you just have to say no and you're not a bad person. And when you do it's in those moments you can develop yourself and do the hobbies and things you love. Because taking a bath is nice, but if that's your only me time then you never get to paint that picture or learn that skill that you've always dreamed of. Then when your kids move out you've forgotten who you are.

[@StandAloneSoul]

I really love the phrasing of "we love our kids AND we need some time to ourselves occasionally to recharge(...)", it's a very dialectic way of perceiving and describing. I am in a therapy group where we learn how much the phrasing changes point of view and valuing of things. Because needing self care time does not change anything about how much you love your kids, and the other way around, because both are very important and healthy and do not compromise or contradict each other, so there's no need for a relativation. Nice work on that one, I'm a big fan. :)

[@stacybroussard3097]

I'm with you Heidi, Music is my Best Therapy 🙌🙌🙌♥️♥️♥️

[@sshaw4429]

So sweet…..”are you going thru something? Do you need a hug?”

[@2nica2]

Prayer! Guys come on. Also the way Taylor looks @ Heidi is so ridiculously sweet.

[@dawnsutherland3461]

Date night ,you deserve it. Love you guys .

[@LairdErnst]

Y’all are good for my mental health. Thank you!

[@rianemapel2097]

Love these tips! Always nice to hear things like this to motivate you and put things you already know fresh on your mind!

[@darloonie9465]

I couldn't even get through this 8 minute video without interruptions from kids.

[@joidavis5210]

Same! 😆

[@gemstorm16]

*nods* That's because it is much longer than 30 seconds.

[@stephanienonyabeezwax1288]

Agreed lol

[@K3MM0N]

Listen while at work

[@darloonie9465]

@@K3MM0N I work from home. I usually listen to these videos in bed.

[@TD-nf1qo]

How the heck does Heidi look so incredible? I'd like a list of vitamins and skin care items that she uses. You guys are amazing.

[@queencityminis]

I know. She seems to just snap back to a thin, curvy frame after every pregnancy! She's lovely

[@burnyizland]

Right? If I saw them on the street I'd think she was a teen Mom! Sometimes I feel the same way about Taylor but then I picture him in new balance sneakers and the effect wears off quickly.

[@zerokelvin4490]

Thanks for what you do on your platform! You're doing good things. Love it.

[@katkaplan3]

Been subscribed for ages! Love that u listen to music/ I’ve gotten away from it and I’m going thru really hard times My kids are three teenagers, and I miss terribly the years you’re dealing with. Teens are so much harder. In different ways.

[@1138Kiddos]

Ooo, can we get a peek into your playlists?!? Especially the uplifting/encouraging ones!

[@latricebyrd313]

LOVE YOU TWO!!! Thank you for those tips, Blessings!!🙏🏽

[@leanne4670]

Thanks for being real. Can totally relate. Esp about the music thing vs negative thoughts.

[@hildesmith114]

Oh my gosh - you guys are so stinkin' cute. Laughter is the best medicine, but I gotta say - I have the same issue... Hubby can rarely be serious! HA HA! Love the video.

[@jamiecline8983]

I loved this! Music is huge for me too, I know that I need it and when I should have it, but I find it so hard to actually make it happen. Thanks for sharing!

[@OliviaKruis]

Loved and enjoyed this one a lot. Best/favorite dude dad video yet imo

[@Olivia-jy9jf]

Great tips!!! Y'all are the best. ❤️👍😆🤣

[@marie-leonieweidner]

This guys is SO important!!

[@jennyg157]

I love you guys! I needed the laughs! And validation!

[@alyssabassett2168]

I have bipolar disorder and this was great to watch, you both have me some good ideas. Love ya

[@lynniev]

Love this and you two so much!

[@Smokey6338]

Me and the wife needed this video as a reminder! Always love you guys!

[@raritynj1377]

This is great! Thanks for sharing!

[@CheleBoxy]

Tyler: "Do you need a hug?" Heidi: "I'll always take a hug." As she hugs Tyler but he doesn't put down his wake board and give said hug. SMH 😉😊 Love you guys!!! You always make me laugh or feel better after one of your videos. Keep on keepin on!!!

[@carolea1629]

💚💚 *I feel you Heidi, music is my therapy*

[@caitlynlawrence8502]

Freaking love Heidi! She's the best.

[@melissasaco9469]

Ya'll are awesome. Thank you for being you.

[@faolan2174]

My "check out" time is spent watching Dude Dad videos. ;)

[@AnnieNYC1]

Your yin and yang is fun to watch! You rock, guys!

[@sportygirl24224]

Love this! My boys love watching your videos with me!

[@OneDayAtATime1277]

Love you guys, thanks for sharing!! And worship music works every time!!! 👍✝️❤️

[@jillg7018]

Love you guys!! All great ideas!

[@hanC21317]

I’m both of these. 😂 As a stay-at-home mom of 3 boys 5 and under, I have a long list of outlets..

[@kimberlybender7046]

I think we can all use this mom vs dad to learn more about each other in your relationship. You can each come up with a subject and do this.

[@natalieroberts5652]

I needed this! Especially for me as a mom! Thank you!

[@tinaperez7393]

I would add, in the winter time when there's enough snow, a nearby free sledding hill. Great cardio and fun and fresh air all alone but even better, a blast, with your kids. Friends and loved ones works too! 👍 Best, cheapest, funnest workout you can get in the winter. In the summer, I would say chasing and playing with your kids on the playground.

[@evelynaaspidov123]

I wish we got more snow where I live. That sounds awesome!

[@amish-landchateau]

I think she was looking for “rewarding “ ;)

[@Sputnik2914]

Heidi, you could develop a playlist for the inspirational music you use. And playlists for your different activities. I don’t know what platforms you use, but I like the one that starts with “spot” and ends with “ify”. I’ll be looking for one. Really enjoy the show.

[@PaulsWanderings]

I love this type of video. You guys are great together.

[@user-sg8wf5qo9s]

Heidi looks fabulous! 🤗

[@FocusingOnChrist]

My time is the shower. I can tune the world out for a few minutes and just relax. No phone, no kids, nothing.

[@pappyjames9228]

I could only wish to have a wonderful family to be around. I honestly can do the same thing with out a break especially when I love it. But I understand. Not that your not but always be thankful for what you have even if it's only a nice bag of flower! I am reminded everyday of hurt and Lonliness but I am very thankful for what I have. You can ask my LOML she will tell you I can not stand being away from her and she says she fills the same way I do.

[@tebollenbacher]

You two are good balls and I love it. You sure make me laugh.

[@Mathew_Thomas]

Just having both parents in the home will be a huge mental health bonus for our kids.

[@mmac8359]

Not necessarily. My mom and her siblings are permanently scarred from their parents marriage.

[@FocusingOnChrist]

I think it’s more about having two parents who like each other.

[@misty1845]

Need these videos in our challenging world. Thank you

[@chrishutchison621]

Dude. Be careful. My ex wife was just like that and never made me a priority, She always had something better to do! Thank God I found someone that wanted to be around me, made me their priority, and didn’t have to roll her eyes when I mention “sexy time”. Please be careful bro

[@debbyfigueroa7787]

Kinda surprised Heidi didn't say coffee (or in her case creamer) 😂 thanks for the vids y'all

[@creativemadness6758]

You guys are my favs! The love there is obvious and it’s great so see in this world of ever growing hate.

[@aweaver6895]

This was very sweet, very helpful, and very funny. Thank you for the tips (mainly Heidi 😉)

[@maggiemacha5552]

Happy to hang out with you two lovebirds anytime 💖 This is a insightful video!

[@Richardcontramundum]

Hang in there y'all! Our oldest of four is now 12 and youngest is 4 2 others in there. The house is loud and dirty. It's hard. Life is hard so often. But The Lord is sooo good. Press on y'all

[@RetroGameDungeon]

So awesome that you guys are from Colorado!

[@marthafawzy]

The way he’s looking at her when she’s talking 😍❤️

Listening to this with my coffee starts my day off right. 😂

Good tips! Where did Heidi get her dress?? Super cute 😍

[@this_that_and_everything]

LOVE THIS!!

[@732brudder]

Can we just get together and drink some Coors Light? 🤣🤣🤣 we would totally get along well. In all seriousness super awesome light hearted videos as always. I always like to make my wife laugh too 😂

Great to see you at Red Rocks, recently! 🤘🏻Hope you enjoyed some time away with the boys, Taylor.

[@tinamench4255]

Lol 😁 love it ....and eat that cookie! 😀

[@janiceshy3333]

Totally agree with the music 🎶🎶 I need music. Even on days I'm hating on my phone. I glad it can play any song I'm needing at that moment.. otherwise it might have gone flying out the moving car widow. Music is the best💗💗

[@DelicioussByCece]

You guys are the best ☺️

All I could think of is "I've got a headache" LOL!!!!!

[@quiltedchicken6185]

Heidi’s #3-so important!!

[@heidipustelniak652]

Good tips!

[@shannongetz5989]

Heidi, yes, music makes my soul happy. I also love Lauren Daigle! And you guys.

[@revivalcycle]

I agree on NO... I've had clouds of small kids around me often and I found that every sixth or seventh time, I say no instead of yes. Since I always say Yes whenever I can, I need to make sure the kids know how to accept NO as an answer. I tell them that I always say Yes when I can, so if they can't accept my No, when it has to be no, then I can't say Yes anymore.
