About the Holderness Family
The Holderness Family creates original music, parodies, and Vlogs for KZbin to poke fun of themselves and celebrate the absurdity in circumstances most families face in their day to day life. They published "Christmas Jammies" in December 2013 and life hasn't been the same. Since then, their popular parodies, "All About That Baste", "Baby Got Class," and original music "Snow Day" have received national news coverage. Penn, the Dad, took a chance and left his job as a news anchor to join his wife Kim, the Mom, at their video production and digital marketing company, Greenroom Communications, LLC. Lola and Penn Charles are always happy, respectful and eat all of their vegetables (that last sentence is a lie). Penn, Kim, Lola, and Penn Charles publish music videos, Vlogs and special KZbin challenges to this channel every weekday. Our viewers have become our family and we try our best to respond to comments, suggestions and special requests! Subscribe to be part of this crazy family! Thanks for being here.

😂😂😂 @ Penn leaving the drawer open, saying "there's nothing else he can do at that point" and Kim standing with arms outstretched infront of the open garage door! Y'all are nuts. I'll setup a close-a-thon in Florida to raise awareness. My wife doesn't like to close containers. I think she just wants all things to be free...to spill.

[@theholdernessfamily]

Together we can fight this terrible disease!

[@PopeSalty1]

When I was about eight, my mother decided to refinish the cabinets in the kitchen. She took all the doors off, and... Well, when I left home, age 21, the cabinet doors were still outside in the shed, waiting to be stripped. So I grew up in a house with no cabinet doors. As a result, I NEVER think to close . . . IT'S NOT MY FAULT, DAMMIT! IT'S NOT MY FAULT!

[@sarabrown6499]

The way they do these intros is just hilarious they sound so serious

[@nessydelight470]

I know right

[@Johnstonmr]

This describes my wife AND my daughter! My kid also has "TLO" (Turning Lights Off) disorder. We love you guys! PLEASE never stop doing these!

[@BradLeclerc]

My wife definitely has this. Especially in the kitchen. I'm always smacking my head on inexplicably open cabinets.

[@SandKat07]

This was soooooo funny. Thank you for coming up with a name for this epidemic, as my husband suffers with an STD as well. It's nice to know there are others out there that share my pain.😂

[@brmm48]

this is PERFECT! do more like this. We need more spoofs on the drama overkill (from cultural trauma fixation)! Laughter and silliness seem to be going extinct, but everything needs a balance... Your music videos are my favorites ...

[@BevKodak]

Not alone. I thought I was the only one who suffered from you husband's STD. Thank you for sharing this part of yourself, in order to help others.

[@jenniferlee2498]

I am glad to know we do not have to suffer alone. This is something so many wife's feel uncomfortable talking about. You are so brave to start this discussion. My husband has this and LOL....leaving on lights, syndrome. I feel my days are spent turning off every light in the house over and over again. And what is worse, is I believe this condition has been passed down to our 5 year old son :'-( I am holding out hope he is still young enough we can find a cure!!! Good luck to you and yours.

[@theholdernessfamily]

We need a 5K to raise awareness!

[@jenniferlee2498]

I mean do WE really need to run the 5k, or can we just make our husbands run as punishment while we eat the donuts? Just say'n...

[@lesleymcdaris2967]

Oh. My. Goodness. Finally a name for this horrible condition. Thank you, thank you for bringing this forward. I too have a husband thst has an STD...a Shutting Things Deficiency. We need a support group.

[@amymccready1870]

Oh my goodness - this is hysterical. Penn - Dave would say I'm the one with the STD syndrome in our house. :( (pantry door, make up drawers, laundry door - I could go on!)

[@battlebear437]

Oof. Me, too.

[@djm5424]

I love how clever your parodies are and how truthful all your ADHD content is. My husband and son are off the scale with ADHD and watching your videos, I have cried because I laughed so hard! STD & ADHD are definitely related!!! I have pictures from Christmas with bruises to prove the STD problem. My husband took vacation from work at Christmas and went to bed later than me. He left the bedroom closet door partway open. I didn't want to wake him when I had to get up in the morning, so I rummaged around in the dark and ran right into the door. I had a big ugly bruise on my forehead in all our Christmas pictures. I'd like to say that solved it but .... NOPE! Still married 20+ years -without too many scars! Keep the fun content coming.

[@lorinevel4395]

😂😂😂😂😂😂. No STD, but a TLOT!!! Turning lights off thing. ALL THE TIME!!!! I feel for you Kim. LOL!!!

[@joshualevine8345]

my wife has that too! I wonder if there is a connection...?

[@lorinevel4395]

+Joshua Levine Oops, I forgot to mention that my husband does it. Lol!!!!

[@slated4727]

My brother has a turning lights off deficiency.

[@angelamangum3339]

My family does also

[@teamkinnear]

Oh my goodness. This is the best. My husband has this STD, inherited from his mom. When my dear MIL comes over it is all cabinets open all the time! This video holds up over time. I've watched it a bunch and is still funny...and true...and funny. So good.

[@MrsTikiGod]

I have difficulty with spatial awareness. I have walked into the cupboard door (and much more) because it was left open. The struggle is real. Thanks for spotlighting this issue and bringing me some closure! :)

[@tonyakockx3244]

Yes! Thank you for bring awareness to this very serious syndrome!!

[@cshamber]

This is my son. Completely! And I swear it IS a disorder!!! No matter how much I "gently" remind him (haha) he NEVER closes ANYTHING!!! Drives me mad!!!

[@CareyPan]

Not only does my husband have it, BUT MY SON INHERITED IT TOO!!!

[@theholdernessfamily]

IT"S GENETIC!

[@janethart7842]

I don't have a husband but my son does it. Drives my OCD crazy. For some reason though my son shuts the bathroom door all the time when he's not even in there.

[@kerrold1123]

I got it... PEOPLE THINK ITS ONLY BOYS BUT NO!!! It is so much easier to get the stuff when they are open! So whats the big deal!?!?!

[@janethart7842]

Cupboards and cabinets should be closed for safety reasons. Smack your head once and you'll change. Refrigerators should be closed to keep food fresh and save electric. Doors the same reasons. Drawers because it looks sloppy.

[@kerrold1123]

I am a kid btw, I close refrigerators and stuff but idc about sloppy, I haven't had someone over in four years... :(

[@jenniferdias6788]

Kim, it's going to be ok. Love will find a way.

[@SproutMeansGrow]

Now that I know my wife can't help it, I can definitely be more patient and compassionate now. Thank you for sharing this. You're very brave.

[@dawnclark4635]

Kim,you are not alone. I litterally cannot sleep if the cabinets in my house are not closed. It just makes me crazy if they aren't closed.

[@barbarasmilez]

My hubby suffers from this too! It's gotten to be a huge joke with us. One time I took him to the airport and came home and he had opened every single door and drawer in the kitchen to surprise me! He said since he was leaving he wanted me to have something to remember him by!!! LOL

[@dougterhune9364]

I Love My Wife!! I have a knot on my head almost everyday! She always says, "I am putting the dishes away!" or "I needed a pot to cook for dinner!" But the dishwasher is empty and dinner has been made and eaten! I feel your pain or just feel my pain in my knees or the top of my head!! LOL!!!! Make a video about who shuts off the lights! I am always getting in trouble for not doing that! Even if I go out to the garage to get a tool to finish some project she wants done, by the time I get back, a few minutes, all the lights I need are off!! LOL!!!! Ahhhhh 26 years of marriage, wouldn't change it for the world!!

[@polishmomma7936]

Yes!!! Finally, I am not alone in this battle for closure. My husband leaves the dresser drawers and doors open all the time. The horror of socks and shirts hanging out all messed up. My anxiety can't take it I tell ya!

[@n8trsho]

HA! I'm there. But my justification is my keen hearing. Closing the cabinets causes a noise that hurts my ears...so, you know....

[@theholdernessfamily]

Good excuse : )

[@amandayoung223]

I live with my dad, and he has a Storing Things Deficiency. The kitchen table is a catch-all for mail, notebooks, Wal-Mart bags, medicine, whatever! And while he doesn't mind washing dishes, the dishes never make it into the cabinet. Oh no. Once they are dry they are stacked on any available counter space.

[@dww7777]

😂 I feel for you! My wife has a phobia about closing cabinets and closets. OK, it's not a phobia, but it's really hard to remember to close things. :) She's gotten better after years of reminders. Now for me to get better about my annoying habits. :)

[@theholdernessfamily]

IT's like my husband's elbow lacks the rotation needed to CLOSE things.

[@dww7777]

Make it part of Cross Fit? :)

[@sev0xm7]

"Penn has an STD" I'M DEADDD LOL

[@roryarthairyfart1459]

1:44 Yes, my Dad DEFINITELY has a STD. He also has a L.F.O.D., (Leaving food out disorder).

[@abigailmcneal1560]

My Husband doesn't have a "Shutting Things Deficiency" but he does have a "Putting His Laundry in the Clothes Hamper and Not the Floor Deficiency" or PHLCHNFD!

[@jeseverage-allen570]

omg. i never knew there was a name for it. i need STD anonymous. they say admitting you have a problem is the first step. Hi my name is Jessica and i have an STD.

[@theholdernessfamily]

HA!

[@reallyrylee6066]

OMG Me Too my Name is Rylee and I have STD

[@RobHoffman83]

This has to be among your best! And, I agree with Penn, once those socks bunch up, it's all over....

[@joshualevine8345]

you are not alone! my wife brought her STD INTO our marriage! Was I warned? No! Of course not! What if it's contagious?? That's the last thing I need... Oh my gosh... what about our children? are they at risk?? I feel like I need help! LOL, this definitely cracked me up!!

[@heatherstehman2037]

My husband has a CTMD disorder. Clear the Microwave display! OMG....I always find the microwave flashing to press start after he's used it. Drives me crazy!!

[@elizabethchiavetta7930]

my husband seems to only have that STD when it applies to the kitchen cabinets & the front & back door. And the laundry door which is outside, so when I go in there I've been scared to death by giant toads, spiders, beetles. other wise he slams my new car door's and the dressers/closet doors as well.

[@my2jedi]

Toads? One of us would have to go. What's next - a bear? Yikes!

[@nancyhowell4505]

He's showing hostility, repressed anger. Get help, something's eating on him and it's going to ruin your relationship. I know, been through that with my father and my husband. 😣

[@sydalyssawatson2839]

This happens to my mom all the time! She leaves the trash can open, and when anyone else comes in the room, we have to shut it!

[@BreckGirl04]

My husband has it alright. But he's also down with ADD...I fear these may be connected. 😜

[@theholdernessfamily]

I think you're right.

[@stacylamar6702]

Absolutely!!! God I hate it --- it makes the room look messy when there are drawers or cabinets open. UGH!

[@BrandonIsWatching]

lmao. Kim always looks like she is on the verge of laughing hysterically.

[@CVKelz]

Every. Single. Morning. I walk into the kitchen after he's left for work and everything is open. To make it worse, open cabinets and drawers is one of my biggest pet peeves EVER.

[@heraffa]

Great video. My adult daughter who still lives with us has both a STD and when she does shut things, she tends to slam them. Worst of both worlds.

[@heraffa]

I showed her your video. She thought it was funny but agreed with Penn's reasons to leave them open.

[@summerneilsonmoshy6862]

All the open doors/cupboards/drawers in the background stressed me out so bad. I have Shutting Things Determination. Me in a convo, "I'm sorry, I have no idea what you just said because that cupboard is wide open & I cannot focus until it's shut."

[@megymuffin23]

my husbands not only has STD but also has PTBWTBD (putting things back where they belong deficiency) lol he just puts things in random places oh and i think his depth perception is off because clothes never make it all the way to the basket! i love my husband though 😊

[@toritation]

Or if you wanna cut the PTBWTBD short just do PTAD (Putting Things Away Deficiency)

[@annarehbinder7540]

I have NO clue where to put themmm.

[@victoriamankos5240]

My husband is one extreme to another. In certain rooms such as the kitchen he definitely doesn't know how to close anything. In the morning when everyone is sleeping including the kids he lets the cabinets in the bathroom slam close. Ugh I truthfully don't know what's worse but it threatened to take down all the cabinet doors one day.

[@SwyerFam]

My husband has a putting things back deficiency. He also never pushes his chair back into the table every night after dinner. Drives me insane.

[@fluteloops22]

My kids never push their chairs in and that's basically inviting the cat to jump on them onto the table! 😡

[@chaliecebowman9497]

This is hilarious! My husband sent me this and said, “you’ll think this describes me!” And he was right! Thankfully his condition only acts up in the kitchen!

[@scottstark5528]

I'll admit I did leave the garage door open last night but that is only a once every couple months event. The culprit in our house is our soon to be teenage son. Microwave, refridgerator/freezer, pantry, all entry doors to the house every day.

[@ladygrndr9424]

I know this is years old, but this intersects with one of my other favorite KZbinrs, Clutterbug. In her system she has a group of organizing personalities called Butterflies who need to SEE the things they own, so she recommends removing the doors from cabinets and putting their belongings in clear or well labeled containers. Of course this drives other organizing personalities who like everything to be sparse and hidden away crazy, but it does solve leaving all the cabinet doors open if there are no cabinet doors *lol*

[@ladygrndr9424]

Oh, but my husband has an STD when it comes to bags of chips. DRIVES ME CRAZY that he can't even fold the top closed to keep them from going stale within a day.

[@cflamisch]

My husband has the issue where the dirty laundry only lays next to the hamper, never makes it it. The empty beer bottle....next to the recycling bin. His dirty cup, on top of the counter above the dishwasher...

[@amandaarcher4700]

I have wanted someone to raise awareness for this for a long time. I thought I was the only one it affected. My mother suffers from STD and being raised among this is difficult. Then I got married and found out my husband also has an STD. Sometimes I think I'm developing an STD....I see the symptoms starting to creep up but I refuse to succumb to that! I think my three boys might have caught it from their father too :-( thank you for speaking out and not being afraid to bring attention to it. #closeyoursh*t #weneedt-shirts

[@pattidavis4463]

My hubby and all 3 of my kids have this. We are a household of STD!!

[@WhitneyWion]

It's really funny when the 3 year old tells daddy to close the cabinet. He also can't find a light switch either. I will come home and all but 3 lights will be on.

[@ylimemagic]

I've actually threatened to buy duplexes. They'll live on one side. I'll live on the other. For THIS EXACT REASON! I showed this to my kids and cue non-stop laughing for-ev-er.

[@katleiproductions]

My husband has STD and ADD! My therapist told me to change my mind set instead of trying to change him. So now every morning when I wake up and ALL the armoire and closet doors & drawers are open I say "YAY, my husband is alive!" It worked!!!

[@a1090132]

sharing this with the husby now. he'll say it's not him... as he leaves the kitchen cabinet open and walks to another room.

[@a1090132]

it happened just as I predicted... stay strong Kim. Stay strong.

[@caitlinhanson8631]

I have a ghost with this problem... I'll be happily cooking, and then my husband walks in, looks annoyed, and goes around closing all the cabinets that I would've SWORN I hadn't left open!

[@sherrikate7103]

This makes me feel better that I’m not in this alone!

[@rachellejanine2628]

You guys are too much!!! I love it and I loved your ADD video. It was wonderful for my son and I to watch together because we both struggle with it but I love that you took ownership of it. It helped so much.

[@lngtheone]

OMG!!! Our daughter has it, too!!! Drives us nuts!!! 😂😂😂😂

[@iv488]

this video is hilarious thank you holderness family for making us laugh we love you guys so much

[@parkerwasden3659]

Oh my goodness this is so great! 😂 Oh I mean Penn I will definitely pray for you. 😅😳

[@terridatica]

Blahahaha!! My husband and my kids and the neighborhood boys who come to play everyday! Me - SHUT THE DOOORRRRR!! Them - What door?

[@jayconrad6162]

My son suffers. He’s in treatment though and responding well. I never knew someone so young could suffer. The hardest challenge, though, is that he also has LSU (Light Switch Unawareness). I wake up in the morning and it’s just awful!

[@haylee_nuggies]

We have something in our house called "FTD". It is "Flushing Toilet Deficiency"

[@caseygodwin8566]

My daughter has this. Stay strong and know you are not alone.

[@cheyennegarcia7200]

Got 3 at home with "ftd"😂

[@sashastolasz2600]

My dad and brother totally do that! Especially with not putting down the toilet seat.😂😂

[@elizaelkins8787]

When I'm heading out to school I (sniff sniff) (bawling) have an STD with... DOORS!! I'm so ashamed to admit it, don't look at me!

[@xsiner]

Yep my house has this and it drives me crazy.

[@dolphiniz1754]

I’m a parasite?!? Where’s a window i could, say, jump out of? Lol

[@jaleesajackson8950]

Haha! This is THE BEST! I hope that you guys never stop making videos because I enjoy them so much:)

[@theholdernessfamily]

awwww. Thanks so much!

[@PatricesProjects]

Loved this. The drama in the first part was epic.

[@juliabrown2479]

My husband has it and it has spread to both of my daughters. i do find comfort knowing there is a label for this condition and that others know what I am going through. Have you found a cure?

[@susanalger8413]

I confess Kim I have the same problem.... I dont leave them Wide open....I only leave them open an inch or so....its to final to shut them completely.....I have often wondered as a kid if I was locked in somewhere I couldnt out of.....thus my need to not close things completely.....or maybe another lifetime as Shirley McClain would say..giggle

[@carolmadera6842]

I'm with you Kim! This was Great!

[@goldenbadger8247]

My wife gives me a look that curdles the milk when i fail to close the fridge. Dust bunnies hide in fear when Tracey has to close the cabinet doors after me.

[@Muderdrones]

This is totally MY husband absolutely drives me BONKERS😂❤️❤️

[@theholdernessfamily]

BONKERS!

[@pamelaJoyce384]

I'm late to the party on this one but it is so true!!! Drives me out if my mind and cannot turn a light off to save his soul!😖

[@kisdav]

no you are not alone my sweetheart does this all the time then gets mad if you confront him about it! lol we need to rise awareness about this issue! lol

[@jeremiahcolladay4712]

I was literally crying in laughter! You guys are awesome.

[@annaliz1981]

My 7 year old has it bad when it comes to the patio and front door. The other things I don't care if they get left open but I draw the line at inviting all the bugs in.

[@thatbeautykindoflife]

AHAHAHAH I JUST REALIZED IT WAS STD YOU GUYS ARE GENIUSES

[@nursiemarcieable]

My boyfriend had a problem with STD: he'd leave the toilet seat up. I think it was the cabinets, too. I'm sure he still has that problem, but I finally broke up with him. I know I can use the toilet safely now. 😂

[@jessirenae08]

I have this horribly! I even forget to close the front door before I leave the house sometimes. I even run into one of the cabinet doors, and my dresser drawers all the time, but I still never manage to close them. I'm working on it though. I'm in STD recovery

[@janetriggs8300]

And Shutting Off Lights Deficiency!! Aaaagghhh!!!

[@morganmisti]

You are not alone!!

[@cowhugger4783]

This was absolutely awesome. I loved the music and the seriousness. On point.

[@AndreaWorley]

Ha ha.... This is hilarious but so true!! My hubby suffers too 😂😂😂😂

[@ChadChristensenchadmchris]

My wife has this STD really bad, but I just keep shutting them and being annoyed. LOL

[@Country_Girl63]

My husband is afflicted with SLO, Shutting Lights Off deficiency. You know where he has been by the lights left on in the rooms.

[@jennifermbryant1]

You are not alone! My kids have this problem!!! My sons biggest issue is putting the toilet seat down!!

[@garlandajoyce1980]

hahaha this is awesome!! Thankfully no, my hubby doesn't have this STD because it would drive me insane!!

[@katiescholar3731]

😂😂😂😂!!! You guys are amazing!

[@isabellagilligan4034]

I am a kid, and I am super OCD. I am so BUGGED when my family leaves ANYTHING open, even if that means just letting the door jut out a bit. AARRRGGGG

[@hsleakey]

you're not alone, my husband has suffered from STD and TLOT for 18 yrs, worth part he has passed this to both my children, I am desperate...it is not easy accepting this reality, I gets worse come the summertime since the children out of school, and he's home...there is no cure for this we just need to learn how to survive 😭😭😭help!!!!!help me please..lol

[@elishabernard9054]

You're not alone!

[@chrisarmstrong8977]

If by significant other you mean everybody in my house then yes they all have STD. Great video.

[@hena1937]

After my mom had a brain procedure she had this STD. She would leave the door open on the microwave for hours. I would close it after work. She also left the top off the peanut butter. She had a CNA that was with her for 2 hours in the afternoon. I guess that stood for Chairs Need A****.

[@rianaconklin6954]

You are NOT alone lol 🤣🤣

[@what5579]

Sadly, this is very contagious, my husband and my children have it!! I think it may have jumped species also, as my cats open the doors and never shut them!!! I..am...surrounded!!! I actually call it the Vanna White syndrome in my house!😳. Sadly, I never get a pretty dress and they never solve any puzzles winning them a vacation, or money!

[@jessicajudkinsfugere637]

You are not alone, mine does as well. He also enjoys as I suffer from his UT(U)L (Unable to (Un)Load) mostly involves dishes and laundry.

[@theholdernessfamily]

YES!!! We need to have a 5K

[@lobstersavannah5568]

It really bothers me too when cabinets are open!
