Our NYC apartment! 🤍 family of 12

[@MusicalMachineEtc]

I'd be curious to know a little bit of your budgeting with 10 kids. Maybe a video idea if you haven't done it already. This place looks nice though.

[@barbaralent4575]

Their rent is $9,000 a month and they average a $1000 per week on groceries without other things like electric, gas, rego, insurance, clothing, parking fees.

Welcome to the tri state ! Me and my family live in NJ 20 mins from NYC sometimes I forget how magical nyc is I’ve been spoiled my whole life with always being in the city and doing so many thing to family and friend living out there it’s regular but there is so much to do and see I hope you all enjoy everything ! My dad would always tell me people save money their whole lives to just go on vacation to nyc and I go all the time

[@TheHappyCaravan]

Yes! It really is a fun part of America!❤️

Look how much Melody has grown!💛

[@smiggle_smish]

Everytime I see these shorts all I can think is what do these guys do for a living to afford 10 kids in New York

[@innocentnemesis3519]

Especially as they moved to NYC from the Bay Area. Kids are going to Juilliard. It’s giving minted 😂

[@xiangxiang5817]

So happy for you guys, 4 bedroom can totally fit

[@user-xn5rw4hu4h]

The outside makes me think of how I met your mother and sesame street 😅

[@mitchlover]

Okay but like, we're all wondering how much the rent is?

[@PurePressureVibes]

This place is nice!

[@katharineharrison9091]

Curious - Why do you call it an apartment when it’s a house with garden.

[@moanachadwick1796]

I was thinking the same thing. Americans calling actual houses, apartments

[@shestargirl8479]

Welcome to New York City 🏙️ stay safe...

[@cynthiawilliamson5905]

This was a little while back!😮

[@Miranda-Kate]

Hope the parents will have one of the smaller bedrooms and not let 3-4 kids share.

[@sarahwenger4479]

From another video I saw of them living in it, the two younger boys share a bedroom. The three younger girls share a bedroom. The two older boys share a bedroom. The two older girls share a bedroom. And the baby sleeps in the bedroom with the parents

[@i_bleed_makeup1187]

Must cost an absolute FORTUNE! Why not just purchase your own home?

[@WegottaLovett]

Because that would cost a ton of money!

[@ivy1818u]

A brownstone like that is over $1 million

With 10, you always have someone to play with lol ...and pray with 🙏

Amen!!! 🙏🏻❤️

[@mimiemoji9012]

How many rooms does this apt have? I’m curious to know! 😊

[@emilyellis129]

please make sure you’re aware of what neighborhood you’re in before letting your kids go wild enjoy ny tho much better than a camper 👍

[@jordanalandry1866]

Four bedrooms for all of y’all?! 😳 I got 6 bedrooms and five kids, People need their own space even kids

[@-aftermath-8508]

Kids can still have privacy even if they share a room

[@UnapologeticallyMuslimah]

I don't have a sister but I wish I shared a room with one. My 2 brothers share a room and I have my own room. I feel better at school when I have two roommates. They would probably love to stay together, especially since they seem close to each other.

[@jordanalandry1866]

@@-aftermath-8508 I beg to differ not when theyre four to a room and not once they get older. Yeah maybe when they’re toddlers when they’re small children they might like that but not once they get older. And everybody thinks they want a sibling to share a room with of the same sex but the reality is a lot different, I don’t know anybody who shared a room with their siblings past early childhood who was happy about it, or enjoyed it.

[@-aftermath-8508]

@@jordanalandry1866 I see, but most of those kids are gonna be moving out of their houses soon which means more room which also means more privacy and they could always set up walls to divide the rooms and make it have more privacy not every kid needs a giant room to their self.

[@pfiefer8323]

why do people always criticize, every person or family has different circumstances and not everything has to conform to normal standards

[@marycaramella1347]

How many bedrooms do you need with that big family.

[@beagledog2001]

To be renting a nice big place like that in New York, someone must have a really big income…...

[@logee527]

Yeah, the pimped out kids on their KZbin channel……

[@kathyjager1948]

Why New York City??

[@jordanalandry1866]

That’s what I was wondering. 🤷🏽‍♀️ And a place with four bedrooms? Strange

[@nina_1424]

Exactly!!! Like there is wayyyy more other places in ny state to live in !! Buffalo is great as long as you don’t live in the city but williamsville is great!! But idk why for a family or 12 they would live in Ny city??

[@theyluvv_mia3]

@@nina_1424 she says they have music school there

[@lemontrickle6033]

Imagine having 10 kids and no room to accommodate their privacy needs. So selfish.

[@gerigame2995]

U guys need to get away from the city and more to the countryside so the kids have bigger place or outdoors / garden so they can have some space. Would give u some peace too in the house cos they can play outdoors than being in a crowded House. They are growing kids/ teens / adults they would need their own space than a 4 bed room house.

[@ceeejay9112]

I agree with everything you wrote... If you want a big family, then you have to plan appropriately

[@TheHappyCaravan]

The house is pretty big actually close to 3000 square feet I think❤️ plus a backyard which for NYC is amazing. The kids go to music school here.

[@TheHappyCaravan]

Plus they are just a bike ride away from Central Park 🚴‍♀️

[@fixthatface483]

@@TheHappyCaravan it’s not about backyard space or parks. It’s about them having their OWN rooms. A few of them look like pre-teens/teens and will need their space. You’re about to put like 3-4 of them in a room together and you think having a garden outside makes up for that. You need to get a grip and stop having kids because y’all obviously can’t afford all of them.

[@nina_1424]

@@TheHappyCaravan I live in nyc and I don’t even go to Central Park alone it’s just safe in ny…I think what you are doing is great but defiantly don’t let them walk there alone

Why are u moving there? Schools are expensive unless u home school. None of these tictoks are practical.

We homeschool! So yes I understand… I can’t imagine tuition at a bunch of private schools. There are some good public schools here though. Even some music oriented public schools which is cool.

[@shanmack3355]

[@pamelabarksdale5059]

Why are all the girls wearing dresses? Is it a religious thing

[@TheHappyCaravan]

No, it used to be but not anymore. We used to go to a church that said wearing dresses was important for girls, it seems a little extra biblical to me.

[@jasonkaye4490]

Those prairie dresses reminds me of some alt Right Christian cult look. Glad to hear your no longer associated with them... Uniformity and conformity are not healthy especially associated with a church Unless it's a school uniform.

[@csiportekla1796]

Is she a millionare? Before this video showed that at 1000 dolars people love in closets in new york,so for this place the rent nost by sky high

[@SidneySmith678]

Possibly trust fund baby. She was an only child.

[@arabellacintron1267]

This isn’t an apartment in Harlem, it’s a town house. How do you afford it? Real estate like that runs in the mid 4,000 to 6,000 a month. From the looks of things she doesn’t have a paying job and neither does he. Please tell me the secret so that I can quit my job and get a nice place in Harlem. Wow! Social media pays well!

[@logee527]

Have 90 kids and sell their souls on the internet….duh.

[@Nope-s]

Maybe if yall lived somewhere a little cheaper, you could afford the children's extracurricular activities? And they wouldn't have to earn the money themselves? Also please stop now...don't exploit your children...
