STAY AT HOME DADS ARE AWESOME TOO : Travel Full-time w/9 kids

[@katherinekan2435]

Honesty Esther had been so wonderful and helpful around the house and with the little ones. Make sure you acknowledge her efforts. She deserves the recognition.

[@suzyq6767]

That girl seems to always be smiling.

[@bp2596]

Katherine Kan I was just about to comment this exact same thing! She's such a mature kid who really steps up to take on many responsibilities, even in Meg's absence! Go Esther!

[@scarletteclare2667]

You go Esther!! No soda, good for you!!!

[@sweetpeas8782]

I don't really like pizza either, I can eat it, but wouldn't choose it and don't enjoy it. You're normal by my standards Esther x

[@hafsakhalid8140]

Wendy Woo me too, I can eat pizza but u wouldn't choose it.also soda ,anything sweet .with the exception of chocolate and specific candies.i have such an unusual taste in pretty much everything

[@Two.trekkers]

I loooooove how helpful Esther is!!! She is awesome!

[@gwenfloyd8942]

lol..."captains log, day two. I've exhausted my resources. The inhabitants have strange rituals that are loud..."😂😄😂

[@Avia2023]

The ending is the Best Mike I 100% undetstand! I have 4 kids and I feel like they are 9! lol😉😆😄☺

[@cathycooper3454]

[@FreckledGemini]

Mikes Starship LogIn was HILARIOUS! His face at the very beginning was sooooo accurate!

[@irenemathieson4229]

It is Ester who should be exhausted. She looks after everyone while Mike is working in the bedroom. Seriously Mike you do a great job. You are fabulous with the kids. I love how you all work together as a family. Sorry I had to laugh at how frazzled you looked at the end of this video and especially love how you keep mentioning how many hours are left before mom comes home. Hang in there.

[@scarletteclare2667]

YAY!! A new video! I haven't watched it yet, but the look on your face Mike is totally priceless

[@roadmaster6002]

Scarlett Williams , The look on his face when he wore the superhero outfit was also priceless.

[@venisesmith9556]

Mike, I have too give the Lord praise for you being the Dad that you are. Most Dad's wouldn't have fathom their wives leaving them alone with 2 kids let alone 9. You will probably need at least one day to recover maybe two. God Bless you and Meg.

[@andreafolda1719]

Oh Dear Mike, I love the picture of you with your hair on end.

[@andreag9913]

Oh Mike, these last 2 vlogs have been cracking me up, you hair and the beard you look like you walked right out of Castaway lol.

[@Mscookievl]

Wilson! Lol

[@Emzaaox]

'I'm not going out there again. I'm done.' Hahahahahaha!!

[@FreckledGemini]

I cracked up!

[@Yhamzki_Wabisuke]

I really love esthers personality she's kinda like the eldest sibling to all of them more active than elijah not that it's a bad thing but she really deserves appreciation more.

[@motherdaughtersister]

What sweet and keen insight you have on what your wife brings to the family. I'm sure she would say the same for you. You have a beautiful family- thank you for sharing.

[@miriammyrsiades7932]

The end was hilarious 😂 He looked so beat up 🤕🤣

[@Mscookievl]

Esther is a sweetheart. So helpful. She has a quiet grace about her.

[@churchathome9552]

If Elijah grew a beard, he'd look just like Mike! These videos without Mom have been so funny! Esther is such a wonderful helper. Mike, so funny at the end, but you are so right about being grateful, for taco soup and everything else. Hang in there!

[@vaneset2592]

The hair though 😂 you have done great, Esther you're a little gem helping out where you can awesome stuff, beautiful kids they all are 😊 Thank you for sharing

[@ShesInLosAngeles]

I am the eldest daughter of 11 children and I just want to reach out through the screen to Esther and tell her that her patience and understanding now will serve her so well as an adult. I love that she is respectfully vocal yet firm on her opinions. She IS now and IS going to be an incredible woman. Her siblings will look up to her and seek her guidance for the rest of their lives. Love to her!!

[@cupcakesonrainydays]

I know a family where there is 7 children and the oldest girl never get much time to read [she love books] or do teenager stuff like she is supposed to. The mother of the children is always busy with numerous tasks as can be expected from having a big family and she homeschool the kids herself. The mother is an cheerful wonderful lady and a good mother. The dad helps a lot also but he has a full time job. I only feel so sorry for Martha, the oldest girl because it wasn't her choice to work so hard acting like a second mother to the younger siblings by having to share household responsibilities with her mother from morning till evening while attending to the babies [4 of them are only a year apart] and keep up with her school work. The situation of Martha breaks my heart. I am glad to hear from your point of view that being the oldest in a big family was a good experience for you.

[@sallycroft2191]

Mike, you look exhausted...only 24 hrs. Esther is a wonderful big sister and very helpful with Jude and Eve.

[@grayeagleswolves]

I love your family Esther is a Doll she has stepped in and done a great job and the others also have helped with the younger children You are a blessed family and we are honored to have a piece of your lives

[@emcfashion]

I love these journal entries lol 😂 do them more often and maybe have the kids do them too 👍🏼

[@annamarieh333]

I feel exactly the same when my family doesn't appreciate my dinner! The next day it's a bowl of cereal! Lol. Best video ever!!! "I'm done" drop the Mike!

[@meiraloraduncan8953]

Couldn't find the recipe in description. Your doing great Dad. It is hard taking care of the kids even with the older kids helping. Been there and feel your stress. Sending you healing and stress relieving prayers.😉. We were raised with the eat it and don't complain rule because usually that was the only option. Occasionally Mom cooked something for her and Dad that was a favorite dish for them that she knew the kids would not eat and when that happened she made us something different, but we were given a chance to try it. The majority of our food was made from scratch and we grew vegetables in our backyard garden. As we got older we helped make the meals and we had a similar chore chart like the one you made. My parents were old school and I am glad because it made us better people with solid values, morals, manners and behavior. Which is why I love watching your family as it brings back so many memories. Thank you and bless you and your family. 🤗👍🏻

[@KnorppandSouth11]

+Carol Duncan - forgot to put it in! It's there now!

[@Garimapal]

He is always so patient with Eve going DAAAA- DEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[@AlysiumCrow]

You are amazing both of you. I have 2 kids and they drive me insane. No idea how you manage 9 kids. You are both amazing parents and people. So glad I found your channel. Keep up the amazing parenting you are blessed.

[@outdoortherapy8510]

OMG...this was HILARIOUS! It felt more like watching a funny family sit-com vs. your usual vlog, but I LOVE IT! "nervous breakdown" LMAO. You'll make it :)

[@bnesmommy]

lol I have really enjoyed watching these last few vlogs. I enjoy the vlogs where you stay in the rv for most of the day bc I love seeing the kids personalities. When you go to fun places it's more about seeing the sights and I just love seeing the whole family hanging out in the RV. That might make me boring but I'm good with it 😃

[@Imaginehello7799]

Omg you have so much patience. Both of you do actually ... you have kids surrounding you alllllll the time LOL

[@tinam4970]

u r doing so well 👍

[@amylewis7]

I love your family and how close you all are xx

[@florencetoda7971]

Dad is really awesome and so as the kids too. Even though mom is not around, and things may not that too easy all of you can still manage everything. Dad inspires many. Cool! God bless your family always. - Luv from Manila, Phil

[@deeb8282]

[@ChloeDayMcDonnell]

Omg I love this so much 😂😂😂

[@hfs7274]

Mike you are a superhero. Bless you.

[@richiefossati714]

I don't know if you guys heard but Eve said "daddy" very clearly. It's great to hear her speech improving!

[@GeekaG]

The thumbnail of this video is awesome. It clearly shows exhaustion. It looks how I feel as I am babysitting my daddy while my mother is on the coast with her childhood best friend. He has no huge health problems other than loneliness and being a spoiled rotten man. :) Rock on, mike.

[@allykeightley6708]

You rock, Mike. Super parent patience for the win.

[@PNWShanaLee]

Fun video! Eve flopped from every bed until hers was ready! Such a cool little girl! Way to go Pops!!

[@paulmelville6147]

[@rachelselby5469]

I'm with Esther on the healthy food. Good for her!

[@katisme5137]

I had a good laugh watching this.....daddy counting days.

[@MichelleSCarey]

😂😂😂😂😂😂 The kids are kicking Mike's butt! It's all good, it's almost over. Favorite part - kids not liking dinner and Mike being fed up over it! 🌟

[@alongbling]

Hahaha.....dad is so funny. Jude & Eve are cute but they want attention from dad. Esther is mature beyond her age. Can't wait for the next video.

[@em-qq8li]

[@DWDinAtlanta]

Pizza isn't one of my favorites either, but hubby loves it and could eat it every day. I have to be in the mood. Soda, I love but limit myself to only one a day. Ester is a smart girl!

[@joboogie]

Mike, you totally ROCK! You're a saint! My husband would have pulled his hair out by now. LOL

[@tinydelightsnz]

So much like an episode of keystone cops lol....I was exhausted just watching. But you're rocking it completely. Both you guys have my utmost respect.

[@SouthernMommyStyle]

[@JadeJCA]

[@cassmhb]

Mike's dinner comment is my everyday! :) you just power on :)

[@earlgreydionne1489]

Mike I feel so sorry for you :( but I'm sure the kids will survive just fine. It must be very difficult on your own. I'm also sure the elder kids try to help out where they can, but everyone must miss Mom. Hang in there xx

[@janiex7031]

[@larimarhenriquez778]

[@djterry1218]

[@melissacaldwell5598]

Donna Terry Me too! It couldn't be easier... open some cans, add some spices and some meat, simmer. 😀

[@lizzymeinzenbach7044]
