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!! ....

I had to collect my children from an access visit at midnight too, my daughter called saying she didn’t feel comfortable and wanted to leave straight away. Her brothers felt the same, so I went and collected them of course. Turns out he had broken the orders and had his mates there too… strange men … not okay, they have never tried staying again.

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.

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 🤷🏻‍♀️

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.

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.

[@beckyrose962]

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.

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.

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.

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

[@MariahsJourney1994]

I like that you give your 3 boys a choice to go to their dads.

[@ashleymurray7217]

Its so crazy watching all of your videos for years then seeing you in my town!! Forever hoping one day ill run into you while you’re in Reno!

I know you get some hates from some people, but I personally think it’s amazing that you respect the kids boundaries and have PROVEN you don’t record if the child doesn’t want to be on camera. We all know Big Caden (sorry if it’s spelled wrong, I’m super tired lol) is there-but he doesn’t like being on camera right now….and you respected that. Love it. ❤️

[@sarariggs7227]

How often are they (3 boys) going to see their dad with school in? Do they have a custody schedule or is it still hit and miss?

[@MsSignedUp]

Jess has full legal custody of the three boys, so I think they just go there whenever they can

[@arielpotts4858]

I think it’s just when their dad decides he wants to see them and they can fit it into the schedule, him living a state away probably not so much anymore.

[@MsSignedUp]

@@arielpotts4858 It’s more like when they ALL can fit their schedules together, with Jess’s kids being so busy and all

[@arielpotts4858]

@@MsSignedUp yes i meant when they can fit into jess’ schedule, if their dad was more consistent i’m sure they’d be able to make it work.

After 10 years watching, I'll be choosing to move on- thanks for 10 solid years of entertainment jess. To you and your family stay safe and many thanks-

I'm glad they know they can call you anytime, even if there dad gets upset when they do. Honestly my oldest son (5) has recently been telling me he doesn't wanna see his dad (a few months prior he asked to stop seeing his dad's grandparents) And I told them they had to respect his decisions. (There's been quite a few broken promises made to my son and he says his dad doesn't listen to him) but I do ask him if he wants to see his father or the grandparents offen so he knows the offer to see them is still there. It's hard to tell someone like sorry he's staying home but I have to respect his boundaries and what he wants. So I feel as long as I'm still encouraging him to see them but he decides not too and I've not pressured him not to see them then it's all good and I'm advocating his wants and needs and he's my first priority not there feelings about it. (I'm just so not a confrontational person but ill be that person for my kids in a heartbeat)
