Reading People's ASSUMPTIONS About Us!

[@quinlanteague1093]

i don’t understand why the boys get all the freedom with their girlfriends (obviously blake and andrew are adults and can do their own thing) but chase has SOO much freedom with asha. i understand karlis a girl but i feel like if you want to protect her you should also have stricter rules for chase and asha. i’m not saying asha would do this but guys can be assaulted too.

[@cripj7261]

Yeah like Asha is someone girl too ??

[@marielled2396]

I agree, my parents let my older brothers have sooo much freedom with their girlfriends. I have been with my boyfriend for three years, just like asha and chase (so my parents should trust him by now) and I still get no freedom.

[@KayleeThomas]

It's the typical implicit patriarchial-misogynistic mindset a lot of conservative families have. Sometimes I think that they don't even realize they are living in contradiction. It's one of those "traditional values" that is so hard to dismantle.

[@BBaby1111]

I think their rule was when they turn 16 and they have their drivers license they are allowed to go on dates alone. That’s the only reason they have more “freedom”

[@linds3238]

quinlan teague i was waiting for someone to say this!!!!!! it 100% is an equality thing; treat ALL your children the same no matter their gender.

[@kennedym5486]

I 100% agree that the family vloggers section of youtube isn't the same anymore. A lot of the original family vloggers videos (Bratayley, Shaytards, OFN etc ) were definitely when youtube was laid back and now there are tons of fam vloggers and everything is so strict and repetitive among all the channels.. i miss the old youtube

When the kids move out, instead of you adopting, you should think about fostering kids?

[@JaceyPlayss]

Have you guys ever considered creating a baby line for Ivy and Sage? I love so many of the designs (rompers, sweaters, etc.). My husband and I are expecting our first little one (a girl!) in June, and this was something that popped into my head while watching. 😊

[@alyssapaige9623]

Honestly I really appreciate the talk on Karli dating a guy. I find it very sweet when parents (especially a dad) want to protect their daughter. It shows that they really care and want to keep them safe. When parents don’t care who their daughter goes with, it shows they don’t care what happens to them. I went on a date with a boy and my dad was super protective. I didn’t take as a bad thing at all, but something really special that made me feel good.

[@carmenalaniz1775]

I just got married 6 months ago and we got a house and now I just found out I'm pregnant with twins and I'm so scared how we are going to do financially, its a new chapter in my life and I'm so scared.

[@kaylastannard4098]

Carmen, congratulations on all of these milestones. Just want you to know that I'm praying for you and know that a way will be made. Do not live in the fear of the future... have a confident expectation that it will be okay. Enjoy this moment as you grow these miracles. sending love. ❤️ it's going to be great.

You parent the way we do. Our oldest is 15 though and our youngest is 2. 3 boys and a girl. Y'all remind me of my parents but my age (41). That's a great thing ;) .

[@k2daizzzo]

I think y'all are awesome parents. I really enjoy when you have these open conversations with us about your life and family. It helps us see that you are a real family with real issues and problems and that can help a lot of us learn about life from you.Thank you!

I’ve been watching you guys for like 3-4 years now and I honestly love you guys and your family! You guys seem like such amazing parents!! 🤍🤍

[@cozmicknight7704]

The way you described Blake, is the same exact way I am. I don't like being the center of attention, yet I can be funny with others in a group of people. I never liked being in the 'spotlight' ... it's hot there, and I definitely feel the heat if attention suddenly turned to me. I'm not a middle child, ... I'm the youngest of two. I'm wondering what 'star sign' Blake is. Maybe that has a little something to do with it. Love you guys, love your channel. Get well soon Andrew, and I can't congratulate Karli enough on her new wheeels!

[@bonniebrancheau9515]

Love when you both do these sit downs!!

[@haleysegler8621]

i honestly enjoyed this video. listening to you and ken talk about everything was entertaining to me. i could have watched an hour of this 😂🤷🏽‍♀️

[@sallyhudson7196]

This was a great video. You guys have so much wisdom to offer. Just wondering about college for Chase and Karli. Do you plan on financing their tuition? College is very expensive. Has Chase started looking at schools?

[@OurFamilyNest]

we help with paying for college but we have not and will not pay for everything. Chase has not started looking at schools and does not know what route he wants to go yet.

[@papaapple93]

Thank you so much for filming and sharing this video I really appreciate all the time and effort you put into filming and editing your videos I love how open ya'll are you are such a blessed family

[@grgumgee1]

Candi would be such a good foster mom I could see it

[@peytoncaudill]

Y’all, there isn’t anything wrong with being conservative or liberal. Whichever they are let them live. Also, it doesn’t make them hypocrites to say Karli can’t physically go out with a guy until they know him, while Chase and Asha are dating and going out etc. What you aren’t taking into consideration is that Asha’s parents aren’t Ken and Candi. They have their own guidelines and they’ve clearly built a trust with their family. There is no misogyny in wanting to protect your child. There are facts to prove women are targeted more than men. Just because you want women’s rights doesn’t mean you shouldn’t take into consideration the safety of someone as well.

[@reneewootton9488]

I love this video. Sometimes our decisions about our kids aren't popular with our decisions , but as parents we support them. Unless they are in harm doing it. Candi I love your comparison to the football team!!!!!

[@brockbruns7687]

Amazing video. Thanks for being so honest in all the questions. Have a wonderful day.

[@lidsman2221]

All around a great American family!

[@DvnzDismality]

Respect to you candi I would be the exact same if I had a daughter its different when a boy can physically fight for him self but for a female would be harder to watch your daughter go of with a boy he may act nice and sweet in person but can be completely different away from you guys so huge respect your looking out for your child nothing wrong with that ⭐❤

So some guy can't come and "take your daughter" but your sons can take someone else's daughter? Do you not realize the hypocrisy and misogyny in that?

[@KayleeThomas]

Cherry Typical conservative families. Living in constant contradiction and hypocrisy. 🤦‍♀️

[@OurFamilyNest]

@@KayleeThomas please stop saying this. i find it very offensive and annoying. and if you feel this way about us then don't come and watch. thanks.

[@OurFamilyNest]

We never said these words. we said that when one of our sons takes a girl on a date we personally don't feel like we have the same fears when a boy would pick up our daughter for a date. don't make it out to be "more" than what we are saying.

[@KayleeThomas]

Our Family Nest I’m sorry if it comes across as offensive. I have supported your family for 5 years and think it is perfectly healthy to have discourse and disagreement every once in awhile. I will keep watching because I’m not afraid of debate. I’m sorry that you are.

[@OurFamilyNest]

@@KayleeThomas I am not afraid of debate at all - I enjoy and welcome the conversation. But your wording is coming across very accusatory. like you aren't open for us to respond - you state things in a factual way which is rude.

You could introduce Karli to Brennan Donnelly of "It's the Donnellys." They are Irish Catholics but I hear that Irish and Polish Catholics attend Mass together nowadays (I'm Protestant). I think Karli and Brennan would hit it off.

[@kimluarks2418]

I thought i was done having kids, my only son was 23 years old and I've been told since he was 5 or so that I would never conceive on my own... i got married December 2015 & had a cervical polyp removed December 2017, December 2018 I conceived my youngest son who is 6 months old on Saturday. You never know what God has planned.... I didn't plan on becoming a mom at 43, however, I found out many women, including my great grandmother, have children at my exact age or older.

[@mjy4172]

You could foster kids?

[@feat.shanika]

What if you fostered older children

[@ChrissaTodd]

i will also say cause i get your point with karli the show 8 simple rules shows overprotective dad to daughters but the mom wasn't the mom cared more if her son was going on a group date where the dad was giddy about it, then when the dad died because john ritter died they showed the girls getting away with alot more because the mother wasn't as strict about that stuff as she was like them as a teen and understand their want for freedom. But i realized if john ritter never died and they were to able to continue the show with him, there is alot of plots that would have went over better, like one of the daughters not cheating on her bf and losing her virginity in europe because the dad would never have said yes or caved to saying yes. And so now i respect it, i can see the point that rebellion can still happen when you hold them back and give freedom to the other children but i do respect your decision.

[@Melted-Kuchi-kopi]

That's not entirely true I think she still would've went to Europe and lost her virginity because at the end of the day the more strict you are (depending on the kid) the more the kid will rebel

[@ChrissaTodd]

@@Melted-Kuchi-kopi no cause if you remember anytime her or bridgette tried to do something Paul was able to stop it and also the mom never caved when Paul said no she let him be the bad guy, as you can tell Kerry only actually went when Cate caved and said yes. But when paul was alive she never caved because she never wanted to upset paul she may have not agreed with everything he said no too but he always found a way to stop stuff like that, he stopped her from going to her friends house on Halloween cause she called him Paul. And it worked.

[@ChrissaTodd]

@@Melted-Kuchi-kopi i would agree if it was bridgette who had the Europe plot maybe she would have rebelled but paul would have known about Europe so fast because rory would still rat her out.

[@Melted-Kuchi-kopi]

@@ChrissaTodd yes but then the mom would always talk Paul down and get him to be a little less strict. I do think she still probably would've went on said trip with Paul still there because it's an educ7trip. The only diff6woukd be that maybe paul would've went and been a chaperone. I think they wouldn't have found a way to loose their virginity they would've found a way even if Paul hadn't of died.

[@ChrissaTodd]

Danny mmm there was also an episode where paul tried to be the cool dad and it back fired they always made paul saying no make sense as the psycho dad or the master of the double standard. Also I don’t even think Kerry would have been with Kyle if Paul was alive I think when they realized John Ritter wasn’t doing well they made 2 out comes to plots just in case. But I do not think she would have had a chance to cheat on Kyle is my point. Yes she talked him down to little things this is letting his daughter go to a different country, and he’s already known as psycho dad. Also when they tried to get away with stuff Paul always found out and dealt with it probably cause the show was a lesson that as crazy as Paul was he was right. Anytime he or cate let’s their guard down is when bad things happen like when he tried to be the cool dad and he fell asleep so they got away with having a party. They would just begrudgingly say they hated him but also begrudgingly listen to him more often.

[@BrianJoslyn]

This is more of an answering questions video than an "assumptions" video. "Assumptions" videos always include assuming the meaning/purpose of any given assumption. Here's an example... I've observed Blake as extremely quiet, almost seems shy. It's very hard to hear him on video. Either, or both, of you, could, possibly would, claim, or even insist, that my observation is somehow wrong - despite the fact that it's not. Thus, you 'assume' what you claim as being my "assumption" of Blake, but it's not an "assumption" at all. My use of the word "observed" is because he's so quiet, at least on video, that I've rarely heard what he said. I've found, quite easily, that family vloggers and vlogging hasn't changed at all. Of the ones I'm subscribed to and watch, you're the only one that has went from daily to a couple/few a week. Personally, it doesn't make sense. KZbin needs to be "controlled." It's called the law. However, KZbin started violating the law, including constitutional law. Then COPPA and FBI 'made an appearance' and also violated the law. They're all violating the law, thinking they're doing nothing wrong and everything is so much better. Daughters and dating: There's also a factor of trust. If a daughter can be trusted, or is trusted, then let her go! If a daughter can't be, or isn't, trusted - then don't let her go! Maybe let her have him over instead of her going to be with him. Family vloggers are still doing challenges . Some not as often, if at all. I'm subscribed to a family vlogger that has had two channels for a little while now. What used to be their actual family channel is not a family channel where they usually do challenges, but occasionally might be a video that isn't really a challenge but more of a game. So it's actually a challenge and game channel. Wrestling, weight requirement: This also goes for anything else that is strict with weight. I'd be checking BMI, at least weekly - maybe two or three times a week. I simply do not trust that the restriction with sports and weight is healthy.

When you where typing it didn't you think to put it in a bit more of a nice way and like as advice e.g. "it was sometimes a bit confusing when you both spoke at the same time.However it was still a great video.".The main point of this is that if you don't have anything positive to say then just don't say it as no-one gets any joy from reading your negative comment and after all the hard work both Candi and Ken put into this i don't think they appreciate your criticism.
