Kait's Braces Come Off, Kylie Comes Home!

[@tracyheff2641]

I love the way your children smile all the time!

[@bowenfamilyfarm9776]

You're a great mother. Your children are a testment to that. Kaitlyn smile is beautiful.

[@tinacolecampbell]

Bravo! You are a strong, courageous woman raising amazingly responsible, talented, and smart children. I’m praying your YT channel just explodes with viewers to help with your income and that you find guidance in building your brand!

[@singlemomonafarm]

Aww, thank you, Tina. That means a lot to me. Because I know you truly mean it.

[@RV-there-Yet]

Yes Tina~ all of the above, every word! I truly believe this channel could be exactly what supports all of her other efforts, so praying specifically for that kind of guidance is very wise. What a wonderful idea! I'll be joining you in that prayer, because we know those specific people are out here. The same goes for additional viewers & subscribers to increase the ad sense revenue, if Marcie is allowing some advertising on her channel. Doing our part to share her videos & channel can only help as well, & that I can surely do! Samantha in AZ

[@roxannegray2796]

What a sweet thing to visit and sing to your friend in the hospital.

[@Pammy00013]

Hi Marcie, Sometimes it’s so good for the soul to vent, I remember my poor sweet mom struggling when us kids were young, raising 8 of us alone, working outside the home (nurse). She was our Chauffeur, plumber, roofer, electrician and the best Christian cheerleader you’d wanna meet. She just wanted/needed adult conversations sometimes and help. You’re really doing a fine job Marcie, someone special is definitely out there for you sweet girl to help make your loving load a tad lighter. God Bless ❤

[@singlemomonafarm]

Awww, thank you! I appreciate you sharing all this.

[@martl3288]

Heavenly Father is really with your family.Thanks for all your wisdom because of you I pray more because of you and it's been a horrible 3 years since my family lost everything and I started watching you and you gave me hope.

[@larry323]

The kids greeting there sister at the airport says it all!! That was a beautiful moment!! Larry

[@singlemomonafarm]

Aww. Thank you. As the oldest child, she's always been a second mother to the children and dearly beloved by all of them. They all love and respect her so much. I love watching the kids interact with her and tell her about their artwork or whatever is on their mind.

[@cathywilson6692]

Take a deep breath. Everyone gets overwhelmed,I think you are amazing, raising 10 children alone, I was left with 2 to raise when their father walked out on us,thank God for my family who helped me .❤️🙏

[@tracyheff2641]

You are doing a wonderful job, Marci, don’t feel bad about the assistance… That’s what it’s for!

[@joywhite2447]

I love your videos. I love how you share different things happening in your lives. Merry Christmas to you all.

[@stephencameron1709]

I agree about silly rules around medical and governmental programs. They are so counter productive. Glad he was able to get the consultation. Great job Mom. You raised respectful, capable children. Val C 🙏❤️

[@lizarce272]

You have set a Strong Foundation in Faith in God, Manners, and Love for each other which will carry them throughout their lives. Good job mama.

[@tamarasmith1023]

I love how your kids love each other so much. What a blessing. How did you get them to be that close. You do such a great job! I hope people aren't judging, but I know people can be terrible. There's no shame in getting assistance, that's what you've paid for and will pay for when you become fully employed. Applying for 15 jobs a week is nuts! There aren't 15 jobs out there! I hope KZbin works out for you.

[@singlemomonafarm]

Thank you! I'll have to think about why they're all close and do a video on it. The short answer would be lots of family time, talking, and respect (I ask their opinion and let them make decisions). Praise and compliments and thanking them. Telling them I'm sorry when I let them down. Telling them about natural consequences. Like sharing toys will make us happier and we can play and have more fun. Not sharing toys makes the game not last very long and everyone is grumpy. Which one do you want? You're right, there aren't 15 jobs in my town! Or the next closest one either. I'd have to commute to a large city or move my family there.

[@rdjg5162]

It must be challenging to teach, care for, love and provide for your family as a single mom. I appreciate the way you are constantly giving your children resources to be self reliant. Please have no shame for using the government programs that are intended to support families like yours.

[@pondaburnette5147]

You are doing a wonderful job. Love your videos, keep them coming please. Merry Christmas to you and your beautiful family 🎄

[@BecC2210]

I think you are doing brilliantly, Marcie. I love how your family all work together. Xx

[@nataliestaggers5054]

Love this video! You’re so positive and encouraging for your kids. I could really feel the love between your kiddos especially when you all were at the airport. That family love is super special and such a blessing. Your daughter’s teeth look amazing. She is such a humble girl with such a sweet and gentle spirit which just makes her so absolutely beautiful. Your videos are such good medicine to the soul. They always make me feel so oeaceful seeing how you own motherhood and are not just surviving as a parent but thriving. Super inspiring to me and they feel me with a really strong spirit where I feel like I can conquer my motherhood journey also! Good for you!!’

[@RV-there-Yet]

Love the snowflakes Tilly❄~ very pretty! Wow Kait, not ONE cavity?! That's truly impressive. Did it feel funny to talk & sing right after having them removed? I can only imagine, & you must be thrilled~ what a pretty smile you have😁 *Marcie, you are allowed to be frustrated, to vent & to wonder why in the good night our social service systems~ & dentists & doctors, etc~ are not set up to actually support individual families with individual needs. The funds are absolutely available, but need to focus on ways to diversify based on what a parent is actually already involved in, already on a trajectory to succeed if only it could be handled/supported on a case by case basis. It's not as if you're some kind of slouch who's simply lazing around waiting for the world to serve you~ it's YOU who are geared toward wanting to serve others, including your family & your community, your church, etc. It also was never your plan to be a single parent, my goodness! You were married, living a life of wanting to be the best wife and mother possible~ with God at the center of everything~ supporting your husband in his education and career, managing an entire home and family is a massive job~ one you had whole heartedly committed to, clearly. Life took a drastic turn, & you managed to still take hold of & continue to be that parent/provider, home manager, & follow God's lead for you. You continue to search for ways to keep life moving forward for ELEVEN PEOPLE, amidst all of those major changes & disappointments~ oh my word it's a lot! Single women with no children fall apart every day at such a huge life change~ yet here you are, pushing forward. This is absolutely the "thick of it", so to speak. Kind of the middle years where it's super challenging, exhausting. It's wonderful that you are someone who will not give up, you've made that clear. It truly is frustrating, even to the observer, to know that so many of our country's systems are flooded with resources, yet sorely lacking in creative solutions. Perhaps it's time to look more toward the private sector, & I'm thinking of things like philanthropic organizations who have chosen to fill in the gaps for specific families, individuals & circumstances that are obviously underserved. I was a social worker for over 30 years in WA State, so I know they exist. I'm very curious about what may be available to you, in the way of supports that could meet you where you're at, where you're trying to go already, instead of pulling you off track in an entirely different direction~ 15 job apps a week, seriously?! I know I'm not the only one out here with similar thoughts, possible connections based on experience. We are designed to be in community, to share each other's burdens & joys. I will be praying that God directs the exact people & supports that best fit your needs, in Jesus' name.Sammy in AZ

[@singlemomonafarm]

Right! Not one cavitity! And yes, it was a bit weird, haha. But she didn't dwell on it. She just kept saying they felt slimy. :) Thank you for saying all that! Wow, what a lot of nice things you said about me. It feels so good to be understood like that. Thank you. And thank you for the hope you've given me in finding more help either with SS for Nathan's disability or God directing people to help me. Or for praying that more of my stuff sells. Or just that I know how to spend my time the best in order to provide for my family (babysitting? Writing curriculum? YT? etc.) I appreciate all of this and all of your comments! They always make my day and lift my spirits.

What about looking into homeschool groups/conventions in your state to spread info about your curriculum.

I remember getting braces when I was 20 and getting them off in time for my 21st birthday. I had to wait until I got my four "impacted" wisdom teeth out before I could get them! I wish I still had my retainer though. The one tooth I hated has moved back to it's HATED position. My fault tell her to make sure to learn from my mistakes WEAR THE RETAINER.

[@singlemomonafarm]

Haha. I will!

[@ryanm7249]

Your children sang beautifully as always. Congratulations to Kaitlyn getting her braces off. Unfortunately now she will have to wear retainers. There are a lot of telework jobs these days. Maybe you could find a telework job so you don’t have to drive to far and can still be at home.

[@crystaldon4995]

Wow. You are an amazing mom. God bless you. I hope you were able to pay off your van or at least a huge chunk of it?!

[@singlemomonafarm]

I've never had a car payment. We've only gotten used cars that we could afford with cash. Or did you mean the new brakes and battery and oil change it needed? Yes! All at once God blessed me with so many jobs the week of Thanksgiving and since then. Plus some generous fans last week venmoing me money. I was able to pay the whole bill. Such a blessing! I'm so grateful. Thank you!

[@singlemomonafarm]

Thanks, Tina! I wasn't sure how much of the singing to include. I thought it was sweet and there was a great feeling in that room. But they hadn't planned anything so it wasn't their best singing. And yes, our friend was so happy.

[@singlemomonafarm]

I do read the compliments from the viewers to each child they're for. You're right, confidence starts at a young age. They really appreciate them and know being on camera has a reward--people are appreciating them and their smile or joke or talent or whatever they shared. Thank you!

[@julieemig432]

Any chance you will get child support again? That would help. I saw my Mom have to support us . She told me to get a career so I did. When my husband left I could support myself and the kids. I was glad I took her advice. Life is never how we plan it

[@singlemomonafarm]

Nathan is in a state mental hospital so I have no idea if I'll ever get child support again. I'm not planning on it. I'd love to have my own career and be able to support us so I'm working towards that. I'm so glad you were able to support yourself and kids. I do have a Bachelor's degree so I felt that was good insurance against something happening to my husband. But I never used it for 20+ years and was never told what kinds of jobs I could get with it. So I'm figuring out God's plan for me. Really, we're doing great and very blessed. Harder than I thought, but learning a lot.

[@julieemig432]

@ yes I hope it gets easier for you. Life really has its moments sometimes!

[@franzone70]

My heart breaks for you but you are raising truly amazing kids.Does your ex help at all with finances?

[@tinacolecampbell]

@@franzone70 I don’t believe he is able to provide at this time due to mental health concerns. This is what I’ve gathered from her previous videos explaining their situation. 🙏🏻

[@singlemomonafarm]

He is in a state mental hospital and unable to help with anything. Before that he was homeless on the streets. He has an MD and PhD so I thought we'd be rich at this point... But unless they can figure out a way to help him and he accepts the help, I don't see him ever practicing medicine again. Such a shame because he was very smart and could help a lot of people.

[@DayDayTN]

We are in 2024, why couldn’t the oral surgeon just call or face time you to do the all important consultation???

[@singlemomonafarm]

My thoughts, exactly!! In 2020 it was the rule because nobody beside the patient was allowed in a lot of medical practices. So I couldn't figure out why this place was being so stubborn. I think it was the one lady who just wanted to be a pain. The surgeon did end up calling afterward and saying Thomas needs all 4 teeth out. I was very polite and thanked him for calling. That was nice of him. Still waiting to hear when the surgery will take place.

[@singlemomonafarm]

Yes, my ex-in-laws will help with whatever I need. I just hate asking for money all the time and would like to be providing our own income. But I do know that they're always there for me. That's such a blessing. My family too will help. But of course nobody wants to send money monthly or be a continued support. But all of them will help if we did have a big unexpected bill or a need like car or house repair. I do have the best family.

Marcie, what you are describing is the mental load of being a mom and it’s a LOT.

Yes, I'd love that! Know any awesome middle age men who would love to be the father of 10 children? The burden raising them alone is sometimes crippling. I never ever thought I'd be a single mom. Never in the plan. And it's very lonely not having a spouse to share your day with, bounce ideas off of, solve car problems, and enjoy life's sweet moments with. Hoping someday I can find a wonderful husband.

[@cumberlandquiltchic1]

I lost my husband almost 13 years ago. I was 45. It’s very difficult being a widow, even though my kids are grown. My family is very far away and so are my kids. I have an old home and have lived on a very fixed income below poverty level. Nothing is love more than to find a loving husband again, because I had a wonderful Marriage. Let me tell you something… you can’t to shop for one of those. They are an “out of stock” item. They don’t “make them anymore”. The ones out there are married. There’s plenty of married ones who love to pull you in, or “players” after only one thing. Also ones who want to take what you have… I can go in and on. Then there’s the abusive ones who are narcissists and will drag you down and depress you and beat you up. Now, I don’t have kids. Can you imagine trying to find someone when you have children that you can trust ? 🤷‍♀️ With all due respects, you really don’t understand what’s involved in what you just said. For me, I’d rather live out my life poor, but safe and happy and healthy. That’s not to say someone isn’t out there and it can’t happen. But you don’t just put an ad in the paper or shop for one. Then there’s the remote living aspect. How do you find this person? 🤦‍♀️
