To any parent wanting to do this, trust me, we appreciate this stuff!!! When I was in college, sometimes my parents would gift me with a gas card, grocery card, a bit of cash, or gift card for food. They never made a big deal out of it, just snuck it somewhere in my dorm where I would see it. It literally made me want to cry sometimes because it always seemed to come just when I was super broke, but you know you don't want to admit you're suffering because you're trying so hard to adult on your own. Just trust, your kids may act like they don't need you, but they will forever and always!

[@pamthompson2978]

I remember when I was in college, everytime I traveled home for holidays, or long weekends, my dad would always ask for my keys. He would take my car to wash it, have the oil changed, check if anything needed replacing, and would fill my gas tank. It was always so special knowing my dad was still wanting to take care of me. He’s now 82, doesn’t get around as much as he used to. Now a days, my husband and I will bring a meal to dad and my wonderful bonus mom. Dad always says he’d rather I bring my homemade meals because it makes it easier on mama not having to cook, and because he really loves my cooking! Lol

[@Banyo__]

@@pamthompson2978 Your dad sounds exactly like mine. Even though I am a full fledged adult now, he still asks if I'm okay, or if I need anything, and takes care of my car if he notices something like it needs an oil change even though I tell him not to bother, but he says, "he's my dad, and that's what dad's do." I love it. Some days I find myself feeling sad that he's one day not going to be here to do what dad's do, so I spend as much time as I can with he and my mom making as many memories as we can as a family.

[@emilyvandergon4713]

I’m currently in college and I 100% agree! It may not seem like a big gesture but to us it’s huge!

[@valleykwc]

Agreed. When my first child was born, my mom brought by a few groceries. Things like cheerios, apple juice, grapes. It was super helpful.

[@SystemAsherath]

My mother in law did surprise shopping for me and my husband when we were first married. It helps tremendously. Thank you to all the parents who go up and beyond for their kids. It means the world to us.

[@jennifermassie7227]

I'm 45 and am on disability. Every time I'm at my parents I end up coming home with large care packages of food!! It truly is a blessing!!❤🇨🇦❤🇨🇦❤

[@joanneforrest1830]

I love Aaron and Savannah’s relationship such a great dad daughter duo 😊

[@Alissambarbarin]

I think so too ! She’s definitely a daddy’s girl .

[@emmie9102]

​@@Alissambarbarin i think Savannah is just a really sweet daughter coz I used to think she's a mama's girl, now I think it's balanced.

[@maryhopcroft9946]

I love how much Savannah knows about her siblings, she is a wonderful sister ❤

[@bettysumey1456]

My mom used to fill laundry baskets with food for us at Christmas. It was always such a big help especially when you have children to feed. This video brought a tear to my eye.❤️

[@che-honamiller1240]

One of the few memories of my aunt & uncle-she did that for us on Christmas, too.

[@itumelengmashilo6071]

I am impressed by how well Savanna knows her siblings. She got all their favorites right. She is always there helping out whenever her parents do something nice for one of her siblings. Beautiful family. Amazing parents. 🇿🇦 ❤

[@blessed1940]

And she's always in the kitchen as well.

[@rosemarquez3544]

Aaron and Crystal, you are the kindest parents thinking of your adult children ❤

[@cat.hepler]

Interesting fact about Lactaid milk is that it is regular milk it just has the other half of the enzyme needed for those of us that have the sensitivity in order to digest it.

[@user-tb4zk5wn6r]

Savanna is so sweet and I love that she's comfortable munching on her sibling's food.

[@kimtaylor8992]

Something that we did for our daughter when she got married... we got a key to their apartment and before they came home from their honeymoon, we went grocery shopping and filled their cabinets and fridge with staple items (flour, oil, salt, pepper, sugar, butter, milk, etc) and some snacks.

[@cazb7806]

How thoughtful Aaron and Crystal buying groceries for Alex, Hallie, Jamie and Ariana. Here in the UK prices seem to go up every week, and I am sure it must be the same in the USA and other countries. Your grown up kids really appreciated your generosity. Blessings to you all.

[@susanmcgregor6902]

It's insane my prices have gone up so much

[@AZPA-dh6fb]

My area is same.

[@Powell978]

They're totally insane. I only just scrape by with being on UC.

[@patriciakromrei5466]

I was wondering if it was the same as in the US with inflation, I guess now I know😱 a dozen of eggs was .99c and now it's over $10 in some areas, butter is another high priced item.

[@susanmcgregor6902]

@@patriciakromrei5466 yep i haven't bought eggs in along time I juat0 order them on my sandwiches at work

[@amandacrisp0716]

I wanna see you guys do Melinda and Scarlett's shopping too! It would be fun to see you guys spend the day together!

[@robinwilson3186]

My daughter just took me to Sam’s club yesterday and paid for all my groceries. I know what a gift you’ve given your adult kids. So grateful!

[@rosemaryheart4706]

Yes! Groceries are waaaay expensive. It's so nice that you support your children even beyond leaving the nest. I wanna do that when my own child is an adult too. She's always gonna have my back no matter what. Crystal & Aaron, you are great parent role models. & those kiddos are learning alot from you as well. They are & always will be great kids.

[@kimberlymartin4366]

I gotta tell you... growing up in a family where no one knows my favorite anything... I LOVE watching this and hope to be able to do these things for my future family! This is my love language!

[@akuabataokoye1429]

Savannah’s such a daddy’s girl , I love it 😻

[@blessed1940]

Can you imagine what would have happened to her without a father around.

[@brittajensen1479]

And a mom's girl, too. Crystal and Aaron is a perfect match for her and Lucas. They have been thriving since day one in the Pettit family.

[@ednanelson1897]

What a thoughtful gift for your adult children. Even though they may tell you they are doing okay, with food prices out of control, this is a gift that will always be appreciated by them.

[@mandyjsmith]

I did this for my twin nephews when they moved into their first flat. They appreciated it so much and still say it made them feel loved. X love watching your family x Amanda from the UK x

[@Dragonfly31133]

They absolutely loved that!! Especially Halie💞 Her food bill gets hit the hardest💞

[@oreoprincess19]

I love this! I’m 28/married and I still appreciate when my mom randomly gives me necessities for the house. Or even for Christmas she makes us a care package with things like cleaning supplies,deodorant, bodywork, floor cleaner etc. Especially since it’s hard admitting sometimes we need the help. It’s such a blessing to have parents like that.

[@abbyray5947]

Crystal & Aaron you guys are such great parents.When I have kids I’m gonna do this for them when they are older.I love how appreciative they were.Shelley & Jared is such good aunt and uncle.much love to you all Crazypieces!🫶🫶

[@annamancia4575]

I think we parents will never stop helping our kids... my mom is 78 and I been marry for 38 years till this day she (my mom) never shows to my house empty handed or wanting to take me grocery shopping... Crystal and Aaron u guys are great parents the kids are very fortunate to have u ❤️ ♥️

[@brendad940]

That was so thoughtful of you guys. I try to do the same with my adult children, my oldest has teenagers and babies and that's expensive and my daughter has 3 boys aged 8,10 &12 that are growing like weeds. I'm on a fixed income so I don't have as much as you guys to work with but I love helping my children and grandchildren out! I just spent 3 days with my sons family and he said "mom stop buying things!". It just makes me feel good. Sending love from Wilsonville Oregon

[@AZPA-dh6fb]

That is a lot of shopping

[@ericaeames28]

This is super sweet of you. How sweet of you guys to just show up for your adult kids and make them feel special and loved

[@tonyac2416]

I love this. Family is family regardless of age. While you have to allow your children to grow up and adult, I don't get parents who go completely hands off. Love and help your children...bless them in ways you can. And I'm sure they will bless you back. ❤

[@cherylsommers8439]

I loved how you blessed your adult children! Groceries are so costly right now. My mother who is 82 , is still working as a sub doing caregiving mainly to pay for groceries. With the prices going up, she is digging into her small savings for her and my 47 yr old brother who has some mental challenges /ocd each month. I recently applied for food assistance for my brother since he is the one who consumes the majority of the food. Mom still cooks for them and thankfully my brother is not a picky eater because they have leftovers fairly often. I wish I could help her out financially but do everything I can in all other areas. Hopefully prices will adjust soon in all areas so everyone can stretch our dollars more!

[@susiesantino5625]

It's sad your 82 years old mother still has to work, my 71 year old grandfather has to keep working too. It's just crazy. But you seem to be a good daughter to your Mother and Sister to your Brother. I have a brother who is slightly slow plus BiPolar so I try helping him

[@gloriamanning6787]

That was so nice of you and Aaron to do that for the kid’s. I’m sure it was greatly appreciated by all of them.

[@justmamathings]

I love how well Crystal knows her kids likes/dislikes, even more so the older kiddos who have moved out already! Shows how much she cares about her kiddos 🥺💕

[@rachemlil]

So excited. I am blessed by your family being in my life. God was part of that. You all have blessed many of us and not know it. Friend and family goals

[@deannaeakle8680]

This was such a wonderful idea and video! Helping your older kids out with groceries is such a thoughtful thing to do for them! The joy that the 4 younger kids had shopping for their siblings was so sweet! Plus the life lessons you are teaching all of the kids is just beyond perfect! Love your family ♥️

[@ashleymae4927]

I’m 22 but my dad still takes me grocery shopping every once in a while and we spend the day together and get lunch and he always fills up my gas tank too but I appreciate it so much and i don’t think my dad will ever know how much it means to me when he does that

[@alishaselles6061]

My parents still bring over groceries or a grocery store gift card for us, and were 40! It’s something im truly appreciative of, I know most parents don’t do that! Love that you can do that for your older kids!

[@sandystoner3352]

It sure doesn't make a difference if your children are 2 or 25 you still worry and care about them..being a parent never stops..and WE WOULDN'T HAVE IT ANY OTHER WAY ❤️

[@dagunnaswife]

You have inspired me to get groceries for both my adult children. They are going to love it and so will I. Thanks guys. 💜💜

[@trinac.2897]

My mom use to a make huge grocery and then call us and tell us to come by with our bags and make our “groceries” at her house. That was her way of helping us, and it was awesome because I got stuff I wasn’t able to buy myself because of the high prices. I miss her so much.

[@leonduplessis]

Thank god for parents like you! It is a struggle to buy groceries and I appreciate the help I get from my family especially since I am on a disability.

[@katis5994]

My daughter and her (19/20) boyfriend live for there own since 8 months and always when she/they come for a visit (about 1 or 2 times a month) there is a lot of stuff in her old room on the bed. I collect a lot of things what I know they love and need. They are always so thankful and happy about things like her expensive favorite shampoo or a big box of washing powder. I like to do this

[@keepsmiling1982]

Being on a small disability pension I really know how much prices have sky rocketed. I have been useing food banks to get bye. Two weeks ago the church I attend runs a food bank. I can't get there on the day it's open so after church the woman that runs it gave me 3 big reuseable bags of canned goods. One of the pastors drove me home. The next day when I went to check the mail there was a box outside my door with kale salad and a bunch of vegitables in it/ The note on the box simply said "Joe I heard you mat gave a use for this:. I have no idea who this was from. I asked another tenant if she heard or seen anyone and she never heard abything. I'm just greatfull someone is watching out for me. Keep Smiling :)

[@MinxieGirl]

I loved that you did grocery shopping for the kids, food is so expensive! Especially gluten free foods!! My mum occasionally will slip something into her trolley for me, she knows how tough it is to be single and having to buy food on a budget. 💙🌸

[@annsaldivar550]

You have raised a very grateful son. Alex is so thankful. Savannnah is a great kid too! She does seem to love candy.

[@KATIEFAITH79]

We all need a Savannah! She's so sweet.

Aaron, and savanna you can tell they have a special bond, father and daughter.

[@rachemlil]

I wish I would of been adopted by a family by you when I was adopted. You are doing it right. Many do not.

[@rmlrl1971]

When I first moved out, my mom would drop bags of groceries off. She would drop them on my porch, knock and run. When I would call her to thank her, she would deny leaving anything. Got to love a mom.

[@christinekouba7942]

2 times a year I take my daughter who lives on her own and stock her up I love it cause we do it together. She work’s really hard and it’s not cheap Living on her own. She really appreciates it.

[@aidenalamo6262]

Grocery shopping is expensive and having generous parents is nice! My mum is that way and I appreciate it!!

[@jannaduncan4975]

I have the same reaction as Jared does sometimes when scared plus say som something I shouldn’t. Love how you are doing that for your adult children. I always appreciate it when my mom or someone gets stuff for me especially with the insane prices of groceries these days. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ the whole Keep it Crazy families. 😎

[@tamaramink1587]

Our 2 adult sons still like it when we buy them their favortie snacks,etc...(ages 30&35). I don''t see them as much as I used to but we try to make sure they get some things occassionally.

[@beverleypicard2116]

Crystal You are always so thoughtful, what a perfect thing to do for kiddos moved out on their own .

[@nonondriessen]

Thank you for sharing. Helping others out with surprise groceries is always rewarding. Adult children can surprise shop for their parents as well, depending on the financial situation. Enjoy your family 🥰 and enjoy the goodies!

[@patsymouton3758]

We do this for our adult children at least 2x a year. It really does help them. But during the year if when we are shopping & find things on sale they like we get it for them. They enjoy the little surprises as much as the big surprises.

[@jenanalhamdan5136]

My mother in law brings us surprise groceries ever since we had kids and it’s a small gesture that means the world

Best gift when one is newly adulting. I am loving watching Savannah so loving with you both. So different to when she 1st joined your family. Awsome to see. ❤❤

[@Kenzi24]

That's awesome. Getting groceries is so hard lately. I cashier at whole foods and it's so hard seeing people get a cart full of groceries I wish I could get, but I haven't gotten more than a few things at a time in months, and even then it's usually $30. It's hard wanting to cook or bake something but not having the money to do it and having to eat Ramen instead. Especially because I used to be able to, so it's hard to adjust.

Are you in WA state?

[@MsCrazymomof3]

I have done it for my adult kids. Or ordered from the store and had it delivered when 1 was waiting on a covid test. When my daughter had a baby, I left the hospital and bought food and made a few freezer meals. It was so fun.

[@bethgill3737]

That was nice and thoughtful and I’m sure very much appreciated. What a great surprise.

[@pennylynndauphin9405]

In my family when adult children move out, we give them a "pounding,". An old time housewarming gift.. pound of flour. Sugar. Etc. I always put together spice boxes and condiment box's
