[@laurahanners2833]

I am actually going to reply here, which I normally don't. However, these fulltime families, especially Sandy (pink Mohawk) and her family are pretty fantastic. We also fulltime RV with our 4 kids, 18 yo boy, 17 yo boy, 12 yo girl and 11 yo girl, and 5 dogs. We live in a very spacious 5th wheel toyhauler which will sleep up to 14 people COMFORTABLY. For those who don't know what a toyhauler is, it is a 5th wheel with a 15 foot garage where you can haul "toys" motorcycle, golf cart etc. It also has a 2 drop down queen beds. It also has a drop down patio to sit out on which also converts to a ramp to load any toys you might take. Most families use this garage area for either an office, master bedroom or kids room. My teen boys used this garage for our first year, but now they use the master bedroom. Most of these RV's also have at least one full bathroom with one half bath in the garage. My 11 yo has her own bedroom and my other daughter has the loft above. Both girls love their rooms. As a matter of fact, my daughter's room is larger than the room she had at our sticks and bricks which she had to share with her sister. The loft you called the "kitchen cabinet", actually goes the full width of the RV. Typically, this will sleep 2 full adults on a queen size bed. There is also community, very similar to a sticks and bricks community. There are groups such as one called Full-time families, where families frequently travel together, or will meet up with other families, there are frequent rallies for these groups every couple of months or so as well. Most of us are also part of the thousand trails system, where we stay in a location for up to 3 weeks. We pay a membership fee and don't pay any camping fees, electric, water, trash, taxes, etc. Our first 5 years will be $300/mo. Everything included, after that, there are no fees. Where can you live for that cheap with all the amenities we enjoy and the locations we get to go to? We stay at the most gorgeous resorts where the kids swim, go and hangout with friends at the activities center, do tons of activities that the resort offers. We have asked our kids if they would ever want to go back to a house, their answers are always no way. Typically when we are in Florida, we are in an area that has several thousand trails campgrounds. We all "bounce" every 3 weeks or so between 2, 3 or more campgrounds My kids have lots of friends that they see more often than the friends they had when we were in a sticks and bricks home. My kids attend a fully accredited online school with real teachers. They can do their school anytime of the day of night, they are able to get in touch with their teachers to get help if they need it, they will also receive highschool diplomas from their "home" state. So until you have really experienced this lifestyle, you really have no place to say.

[@Faesharlyn]

Yes. It helps avoid CPS *and* allows the parents of adolescents to travel from place to place interviewing their new sons in law, who are usually grown men affiliated with "a wonderful church". The ones who shout the loudest are the ones who are doing the most.

[@breewashere]

@@laurahanners2833 Rvs are typically only good for long term if it's just a couple with less than 3 children or if there are enough actual matresses per child. The width of the "cabinet" was not the issue. From top to bottom it is not enough space for a person to sleep if they are not fully capable of sitting straight up with no issue. There's barely any room to breathe, let alone fart. Also you don't have children laying on the bare floor for long term. At least have the decency to get a blow up matress or a roll up ffs. Of course if you take children to all these fun activities they aren't going to want to go back home. The same way you take them to a water park and they don't wanna go back home. Also the reason they wouldn't come out to the teachers about abuse is because then the activities go away and you get ur parents in trouble. Universally no children want to get their parents in trouble even if their parents m-rdered someone.

[@Aly9315]

[@thrumylenns2207]

Spoken like a person who has no children. Nothing that these parents are doing is delusional or selfish

[@kitsunefoxxx]

​@@thrumylenns2207 What the parents are doing is selfish It's not like the parent are struggling financially in order to live like this. They chose this lifestyle for themselves and kids. The family with the casket type bed. They sold their house to travel. They often get upset stating the children get the smaller beds due to them [the parents] having to work. Although they did change the bedding situation by giving them more room. They also like to video record any type punishment they might receive. Although its not corpal punishment. It is deeply upsetting to watch these kids be humiliated to thousands of people online. Remember kids don't stay kids forever, these kids will soon grow up and want their own space. Knowing their parent can afford it and possibly might resent them. Not only are these parent displaying a huge amount of the kids lives online but also the lack of privacy within the 'household' will affect the negatively. Not to mention that most of these van life vloggers are homeschooling their kids. Nothings wrong with homeschooling but they need to have at least a social life that is non combative with the parents wanting to keep moving.

I know, right. I can’t imagine my two brothers and I living like that. We would’ve completely clobbered each other every single day over space. Especially my older brother who took after my dad and is really tall. And even though my parents were strict my brothers and I still managed to find ways to drive each other insane and we were always tackling each other and wrestling each other. And we lived in a pretty spacious house. There’s no way I can imagine our family doing that growing up. To each their own, I guess, but I mean, if I had to live in a van out by the river there’s no way I would have more than two kids. That’s for sure.

[@leila_de_hautjardin]

The van life is for single people or couples, not for families. The parents need privacy, but the kids too ! Each kid should have their own room. The parents need privacy for very obvious reasons. And once a kid becomes a teen it's important that they have their own private place.

[@Philemaphobia]

Each kid their own room is a slightly privileged opinion tbh. Ideally, yes, at least Teenagers should have the privacy of their own room, or at least the chance to have extended alone time in the home. Those kids can’t - you are insinuating it yourself - develop a healthy relationship to their own body or a healthy sexuality. If those guys ever get caught masturbating in a public space, you know why!

[@scottandersen508]

I grew up in a house full with 10 kids. I shared a giant basement room with my brothers, as a teenager I slept on the couch for two years then eventually moved out. It was horrendous and that’s when my back started hurting and still does to this day. We shouldn’t complain about where we are, There’s a lot of kids in this house she’d say.

How do you feel about your parents? Do you feel living that way has affected you? Just curious but completely understand if you choose not to answer 😊.

[@Faesharlyn]

@aliinwonderland656 I don't speak to either of them, we lived in a school bus because my dad was horrifically abusive to me and my siblings. It was a way that he could literally run when the school eventually called CPS. I went to ten schools between Colorado and New Hampshire between kindergarten and fifth grade, when we moved back to his childhood hometown where all of the police and town officials were his old schoolmates and parents friends. This situation is abusive, those kids have no stability or real relationships with anyone except their parents and siblings, regardless of the internet and social media. In my experience they're being stored on shelves like little caterpillars that the parents are pupating, and when the girls emerge into their physical adulthood by menstruating they'll be paraded in front of the church authorities in order to find them proper suitors. They'll be married and pregnant before legally able but it's ok, their parents will give permission for their daughters to be married to older men, long time family friends who have know them their whole lives. "It's totally normal" When my brothers began school they also went "full time RVing" for several years. My brothers were homeschooled, my dad decided that he would rather not register them. Too many mandated reporters in schools.

Look, I’m all for the RV/travel life where you pack your family in to a small space if the circumstances require it- poverty being one of those instances. I fully understand what it’s like living in cramped spaces due to economic disparity, I grew up living in one bedroom one bath apartments with my family all of my life and not having my own room until in my mid twenties. However, what irks me is that a good majority of these people seem to be well off (or rather, present themselves as such) and if so then that’s terrible to keep your kids in such conditions long term. Also, yes, hearing your parents having adult fun time while you can’t get away is like taking -100 psyche damage every time, and don’t even for a second think headphones while sleeping work. I also understand why that girl said she loved sleeping in her bunk so enthusiastically-she was probably scared that if she said anything negative, she’d be threatened to take the bottom bunk instead of the middle. All in all, I see this type of stuff as abuse if the parent’s are choosing to live like this long term rather than *needing* to live like this long term.

Now as an adult, I can see what an unbelievable privilege it was to experience that, and how truly grateful I am that my parents didn’t put us on display.

You also had a home. These kids don't.

[@GWCBFan]

Usually though even with those circumstances it turns out terrible for the child

[@danielwilke7574]

It also was for only a little bit and you only had 2 siblings. These people are 13 in a smaller area then you.

[@peppercornreborns]

What an awesome experience! It sounds like you treasured those moments and had a good upbringing with consideration to your privacy. Everyone's experiences are different, but it's real nice to hear the POV from someone who actually lived this lifestyle and had a positive outcome. Thanks for sharing!

[@ladyowl8732]

At least one of those kids is an introvert who needs time away from others to recharge. 😢

[@jordon4723]

It’s my worst nightmare to live that close with anyone

[@tiamystic]

@@jordon4723Right? Especially college dorm rooms. They’re nightmarish to me for my introverted ass who yearns for privacy.

[@chang._.binnie_berry]

the last one was actually more comfy and well made then my whole life , I would legit live there

Humans can fit in coffins too... Still a coffin

[@ajajajaybie]

for a little while i lived in a two bedroom with my dad, brother, and another roommate. my brother, dad, and myself shared one room whereas the roommate got a another. and guess what, my dad would sleep on the couch so my brother and i could have the beds. and he hated the fact that he couldn’t give us individual rooms, even though we didn’t stay at his place all the time, and honestly didn’t mind sharing the room. that’s what a considerate parent looks like. those rv parents have the choice to give their kids a proper bed but put themselves first. and they seem well-off enough to give their kids a house with real beds and rooms, but still chose not to. it’s so selfish.

[@prosaically]

It looks a little like the way submariners sleep, between the missiles, hot bunking, with two inches under the bunk to store their stuff. Those people are raising up the next generation of navy submariners 😂

Friend:hey we should have a sleepover Kid:I cant Friend:why Kid:cuz my mum gives me a tiny coffin bed

[@sonjebianca2483]

I loved our little RVs when I was young, even the cramped sleeping quarters. But my limit was about a week before I longed for my own room and creature comforts. Another aspect that is troubling is a child’s need for familiar faces and landscapes. They need friend groups outside of their own families to develop into well rounded individuals. Nonstop traveling can’t provide that.

[@ariannadorsey6214]

These parents are going to wonder why their kids will never talk to them again once they turn 18. 💀

[@gallagherwitt]

I just spent 5 days in a 37 foot RV with my parents and 3 pets. It was fine... for 5 days. One more day and I probably would've thrown myself into traffic. But I'm also an adult and had the option of going and getting a hotel room if I really couldn't stand it. When I was a kid, we'd travel sometimes in a decent-sized RV with my brother and me and our two dogs. That was fine... for 2 weeks or so. After that, everybody was ready for some breathing room and real beds. Forcing multiple kids into a tiny box for months or years on end is OBSCENE.

9:15 did you know in the full video she gets gifted what she wanted but then has to share it (they each get 10 minutes only everyday)

[@Blueberrybomb1234]

The kid: “it’s like a little coffin down here 🥲” The mom: “AHHAHA 🤠 there you go! 🤪”

[@immortalthing146]

8:04 as well as the height, her parents probably take the ladder down to access the other room. Imagine needing to go to the bathroom but you’re just stuck in side a cabinet.

Pee down to assert dominance

[@ange4048]

That first family literally had a kid on the floor in front of the shower 😮 that’s horrific. Pretty sure cps would have a problem with that

[@feistsorcerer2251]

That's why so many of them homeschool the kids and constantly move around. Nobody to call CPS and no way for CPS to know where they are.

[@strawberrybunny8884]

Help even my cat's are into you're channel 😭😭😭

Family of 12 in a 30 ft trailor?!?!?? I do RV life with my husband we’ve been on the road for over 6 months. Loving it! We have a 27 ft toy hauler with a drop down ramp to make room for a lil patio. We have 2 medium sized dogs with us, a full size bed and a queen-and 2 couches with a cute lil kitchen, bathroom+shower. It’s the perfect size FOR TWO (2) PEOPLE I went for a toy hauler because of the floor space and open lay out. A normal sprinter van or early 9s model RVs would be far too cramped for the 4 of us and even in a 27 ft camper with 2 adults, it still has its occasional moments of feeling TOO SMALL!!! sure I got lucky with a huge open space layout because a lot of rvs and vans have 0 floor space!! And it’s all cluttered with cabinets. I’m so thankful for the home I have now but the idea of 12 KIDS in a trailor only 3 ft longer than my current home, IS FUCKING INSANE???? like bro how????

[@naughtscrossstitches]

yep. I commented I don't ever have a problem with the sleeping spaces for the kids. I have a problem with the LIVING spaces. These kids have nowhere to live. As you pointed out the living room is tiny.

[@altounedited3]

The fact they still do the dirty in the van is gross and diabolical… someone protect these kids bc this _HAS_ to be abuse/neglect

[@kmcm5034]

These parents seem so deluded. Poor kids.

[@rainbow0027]

5:40 😂 i loved that part lmfaooo She really laughed like "kids will say the darnedest things"

[@Audreyisadaisy]

Imagine sleeping in the little bunk things, having a nightmare, and you bang your head against the top of it after waking up.

[@kaidiver4306]

YES GOOS POINT

[@MileyGRWMMM]

😂😂😂😂

[@Og_vr6754]

I am always scared to sleep in beds high up because when I was 9 I fell off a bunk bed and hit my head on a sharp corner
