Why do Kids Like These?!

[@Fargy86]

I do like the way you sit the kids down and discuss things and guide them to be better people. No one is perfect but just trying to be decent is good enough.

[@ihatemylifelol6574]

Fargy86 but she wants her children to know that people look different

[@prettyblossoms4467]

Fargy86 nmjj

[@sophieshuttleworth4394]

She is just trying to teach them and help them in life and is not trying to make them perfect

[@karacooper8192]

As a pharmacy student, we learn that the brand and generic should be the exact same medication/ strength. The only difference are the inactive ingredients which could effect your side effects to the medication. But the brand and generic should be the same drug and strength.

[@1Jennamo]

Bonnie Hoellein the fillers in brand versus generic are not necessarily the "better" filler, just different and sometimes not even different

[@cjpitch]

The branded medication has to pay for the research and initial costs to create the medication, which is why they cost more. Once the patent expires (typically 20 years from initial research-about 10 years after consumers are exposed to it) other companies can make their own version. There are many brand name medications that don't hold as high of a rating as their generic counterparts. There are many cases when fillers are even the same, just the cut/color/process may differ. There's no truth in saying brands are better than generics when it comes to medication. There may be generics with ingredients you are allergic to, but I'm sure there are brands with ingredients you're allergic to also. The FDA holds generics to an incredibly high standard. They just don't have to recover the costs for the initial research and studies, so they cost less...

[@JessandKatlynn]

cjpitch Yes! Exactly! No difference really! We give patients in the hospital generic meds. Cheaper and they do the same thing!

[@CarlysCorner]

Wonderful simple body positivity talk for the kids! When I was in 8th grade and would be cold with the air conditioner blasting (which I am until this very day), my TEACHER told me in front of the whole class "maybe you wouldn't be so cold if you put on some weight). I still think about it to this day almost 17 years later, because amidst all the skinny comments I received growing up, that one stands out as the most shockingly inappropriate thing for a teacher to say to a 13 year old child developing their body image.

[@ninjavenom8304]

I'm sorry that teacher should get fired

Joel’s humor to the kids is HILARIOUS! Makes me laugh whenever he says stuff like “don’t you have traffic to play in or something?” 🤣

[@michellenzwilling]

I don’t think a lot of moms and dads talk to boys about body shapes and how everyone is different, so it’s really special seeing you talk to them about it!! 💕

[@arielcasso7096]

This is something that I strongly believe! I always get comments about being "tiny" and people do not see how it is possible to body shame skinny people. Glad you said it, Bonnie!

[@avalockard9453]

Ariel Wimer, I totally relate to you!

[@sophiesmith4004]

bonnie you are amazing! i love that you pointed out and acknowledged that body shaming goes both ways and are teaching your kids that. i am 21 years old and hate my body because people call me anorexic all the time and tell me to "put some meat on my bones." you are such an inspiration, we need more loving people like you in this world.

[@charlottewalkington4565]

I get picked on for being skinny I get called bad things like anorexic but I'm not. it hurts but I get through it I'm used to it now love u 💕💕💕

[@kateshields8047]

charlie 333 I relate so much to this!!!

[@charlottewalkington4565]

Kate Shields so glad someone does

[@Bailsandbandit]

Me too!! It’s awful. So glad Bonnie included this in the video

[@drywater3559]

im a guy and I'm thin too. but don't worry about it, people who care about peoples body sizes are people you don't want to be around. the way our bodies look doesn't matter as long as we are healthy and happy.

[@ameru22]

That happened to me a lot, my old “friends” would call me every name in the book my last 3 years of high school...because I was “too skinny” and “no butt girl”. Much love goes to everyone who ever feels insecure ❤️ I’m thinking of you all!

[@charlotte-oi1cu]

I agree with you bonnie! Thank you so much for educating your kids on this subject, it’s something that parents often forget :( I have anorexia and people always tease me on how skinny I am. People need to realise that sometimes there is a cause for someone appearance! Eating disorders effect anyone at any size so it’s important to remember that in life! 😘

[@mommafirst6777]

Charlotte Why are you anorexic?.That's what you need to find out first. You don't have to be. I was anorexic and bulimic for ten years. I best it. So can you!. If you would like help or to talk please get back to me. Thanks lots of love!. Fran

[@mckayladerexson9978]

I have a fast metabolism and my doctor thinks my mom starves me which she doesn’t, I’ve gained more than 7 pounds since 2017

[@ABElizabeth5]

It's so interesting how the things people say to us stay with us. This video is just an extra reminder to think about what we say to others.

[@mamatofive1]

The chubby butt/skinny butt convo was so funny! But so good too, important for the kids to know! 😊

[@ErinHerrell]

Loved how you saw the opportunity to teach your kids about body positivity! And most likely they will go to school and share what you said with someone else. So great

[@Kate__143]

Depending on what the product is for, I’ll go for the knock-off brand. But I don’t mess around when I have a cold. I’ll buy knock-off Advil just for headaches though, they really seem to work the same anyway.

[@deidrekoehler2882]

Great topic, in high school I was so skinny then after babies I gained weight and couldn't take it all off. Now, after 24 hip surgeries and not being able to walk for 3 years I am 60 pounds overweight, actually 55 because I have lost 5 lbs. I joined weight watchers and Thursday is my first meeting. My weight loss is because I have been WALKING 2-5 miles a day which my orthopedist believes is a miracle.

[@mindyvanhorn3199]

My kids used to love them too, I have no idea why. Kudos for teaching your children about different body types!

[@magtom9781]

I love that u sat down with your kids and taught them about this and I love that u filmed and taught all of us that too, I am thirteen and i knew this but of course it is amazing to hear and understand and learn, thank you and u are amazing!!!! I love u guys so much and u make me smile all day long!!!!❤️💗❤️💗Also I believe that my mom gets the name brand

[@motherhood9838]

I´m so GLAD that you had the conversation about different body parts ANDDD that you included the extra skinnies!! Sometimes I feel that people forget that the extra skinnies (as myself) have been bullied as well...you must be anorexic, you come from ethopia and was starving etc,etc...I feel also sorry for those who are bigger (in what society calls bigger) and for those who have my body types as well. SO thank you Bonnie

[@brittanyburns8354]

We tend to buy store brand stuff, but sometimes we do end up buying the name brand. Some store brand things are of worse quality than the name brand, and then it just makes sense to get the name brand. I also make eggs the way Joel did in the video! I love your family and your videos, Bonnie and Joel! 💚

[@lorif4924]

Bravo, Mama! Now if only every other mother in the world would have the same conversation with their kids.

[@jasminj1668]

I love the breakfast talk. I love Bonnie and her talks

[@bonniebarber2441]

Olivia, I completely understand your feelings. My mom did the same thing to me when I was a kid, except I N/EVER COULD do anything right in her eyes. Bonnie, I became a nervous wreck around my mother. Trying to do homework, with my mother's help was a nightmare. I cried the whole entire time. To this day, I cannot stand that woman.

[@gentotd53]

Bonnie Barber I can kind of relate. I never understand what they are telling me to do and they just yell at me. I can never forget those days

[@haleyphillips916]

Oh my gosh your post triggered my childhood. I had to quit piano because the stress from my parents and teacher finally made me physically sick. It's great to encourage your kids but not to the point of tears. What's the point if everyone is miserable.

[@bonniebarber2441]

haley phillips, Thank you so much!

[@bonniebarber2441]

Genevieve, Thank you for your reply. Now I don't feel so bad!

[@tonyablack3902]

I feel you on that one. Parents tend to be really hard on there kids. Then the kids just get to the point to where they just cry cause there so over whelmed cause there parents are being so hard

[@igna83]

You tell Cody that I had a small kiddo in Kindergarten - he was chubby, too. Now, he is almost 13 years old, wears a size 13 shoe, a size 28x34 jean, and he's 5'10" tall. I'm also grateful you are teaching them young that everyone is different, and it's not OK to call people names, even if we don't know them. #BeKind

[@igna83]

PS. That Delsym stuff works AMAZING! Try that. That is all.

[@tameraslocum5485]

I use to love eating lunchables for lunch when I was a kid

[@kathyr2339]

Love that you cook the bacon outside so it doesn't stink up the house.

[@katie.e.g.]

Hahah “you have what we call a ‘no butt’”. Just made me laugh. Good lecture.

[@oliviatunnell7289]

Bonnie thank you so much for this! I have always been thin and I am SOO tired of people telling me to go eat a cheeseburger or telling me I am too thin!

[@shannanjack3646]

Always name brand for the kids but myself I will buy store brand or off brand

[@robinnieto2703]

Bonnie, thanks for the breakfast talk about body types. As a child and teen I was extremely small(thin) due to not having enough to eat. As an adult even after having children, I was average(size 8-10). Then at 33, I had a hysterectomy and that was the end of my thin days. I’ve been made fun of and had mean things said about being thin and being heavier. I’m 56 and it doesn’t stop. Love your channel.

[@zenasmsp7096]

I don’t wear shorts because people made fun of me to. I wish people didn’t care about how people look. Everyone is so BEAUTIFUL! Thank you Bonnie and Joel for making my morning great!

[@tracywarfel3419]

Eggs in a basket are one of the first things I taught my oldest daughter to cook. I taught her when she was about 7 or 8. She is 12 now and she can cook soup, mac and cheese, grilled cheese, pancakes, eggs, and some others.

[@emilycorke7581]

"dont you have traffic to go play in?" that brings me back to my childhood, my parents use to say that to us when we were "bored".

[@acollin0311]

“Don’t you got traffic to go play in or something” 😂😂😂

[@alexandra5677]

Oh my goodness I had to idea anybody else did that things with the toast and eggs. My dad used to make them for us all the time when I was a little kid. That blew my mind and brought back so many memories

[@ellaniamh937]

Gorgeous Bollie dressing gown Bonnie! Whoever made that, must be a great designer 😂

[@jenniferhanson3671]

"I'm gonna be naked!" * diaper falls * "I'm naked!" LOL Lincoln is so cute! I also love how Joel plays with the kids, joking with them, etc.. I love seeing that. :)

[@amybalaban993]

Lincoln seriously makes my day! As for cold medicine stuff, I started prioritizing keeping healthy so that when I do get sick, it isn’t as severe and it doesn’t last as long! Prevention feels so much better than having to put Tylenol or ibuprofen in my body which helps for the cold & pains but ruins my gut! Which leads to a weaker immunity!

[@emmakapstein-obrien97]

I don’t use crest because P&G test on animals!

[@Bnsmimi]

I worked at a pharmacy and the pharmacist told me the genetic is the same as the name brand, except for one big difference, the price!😊 Love you guys, so much!

[@Lexi-zl1wk]

I love that you are educating your kids on body image. I use to be extremely skinny as a kid and teenager I always made fun of. The kids were saying I had a disease and stuff like that and I use to pray to be a little fuller and now after having two kids I have a few extra pounds that I love. Maybe people think I’m “fatty” but I love my body.

[@angiebluvspink]

O man Joel I laughed so hard when you told Lincoln to play when traffic. My dad used to tell us to chase trucks on I70!! Fun memory, thanks!

[@dashagernega7063]

I’m jealous of the people who first discover Bonnie’s channel because they get to binge watch all her videos because she’s amazing.

Your family is so cut and the kids are so cut and Bonnie is a cut mother and jole is a cut father

[@heatherdean393]

Body shaming is wrong period. Whether you are 90 pounds soak and wet or 300 pounds you never know what someone is dealing with physical.

[@brendasurmonte6096]

Omg the swing with Boston & Lincoln priceless!! 😘

[@lizcasini4361]

I grew up calling the eggs in toast birds nests! So funny to see other people doing what I thought my mom made up all by herself lol!

[@Effycate]

off brand almost always. They have the same main ingredient it's the "filler" that is different. typically when you get a prescription you get the off brand.

[@TheYoungs]

Aww Lincoln's sweet little post nap face ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@juliannaevans7897]

My husband is a physician and we only buy off brand medicine! He says it’s all pharmaceutical politics, and the off brands are exactly the same. My mom and Dad are still name brand people and that’s how I was raised, but I’ve converted! Just thought I’d share! 😊

[@meganclarke6721]

I freaking love Boston he’s so loving and funny!😂 cute little children ☺️☺️

[@stacywhite9138]

My daughter is in second grade she’s 8 and because they made fun of her legs because she has dark hair on her legs she begged to shave 😢 she refused to show her legs it was sad so I let her because I don’t want her going through life feeling bad!

[@lisamulvey5581]

Bonnie!!! I hope you see this comment- I am 33 and on day 9 post op tonsillectomy and still in horrible pain😩 how long did it take for your throat to stop hurting!?!?! I’m literally in tears I’m so frustrated that I’m STILL in pain! Your videos make me smile though 😃💗

[@Beaneabean]

That comment was pretty self contradictory. She was saying how its wrong to make fun but says a flat or small butt is “no butt”. 😕

[@finlayhill184]

I am so happy with what you said about body types. I got picked on all the way through primary and secondary school because of my weight and what you said was so true.

[@bralynngee4459]

I usually only buy the Zarbees or Hyland homeopathic medicine for my kids. To each their own, but some of the ingredients in cough syrup and those other brands are so harsh for little tummies. I do always keep children’s moltrin in the house and I usually always buy the store brand because it does work just the same. To me at least.

[@sarahmccloy5536]

Rookie of the Year! One of my favorite movies growing up!

[@brennaallen1493]

Just a friendly tip from a Dental Hygienist. Crest Pro Health contains Stannous Fluoride, this type of Fluoride actually stains teeth, so I’d stay away from that. The baking soda and peroxide whitening toothpaste used Sodium Fluoride, which is what you want! 👍 Make sure the toothpaste you use doesn’t have the little blue beads in it though because those are literally made of plastic and they do not dissolve. I’m constantly fishing them out from underneath my patients gums. They can cause some serious irritation if they get stuck. Crest is supposed to be taking them out soon, so hopefully that won’t be a problem for much longer!

[@momofg3409]

Too funny! Bonnie has a cold and can still smell Cody's stink! Must be bad! Boys feet always smell! 😁 Love the rain boots! And my boys love lunchables. I don't! 😁

[@annadimartino2726]

I had to have this conversation with my 3 yr old just recently. I had to explain that just because mommy laughs and says she has a fat butt or calls herself a fatty doesn’t mean he can call people that because some people don’t like that word, he got it surprisingly and has been more careful with his words.

[@daybyday1521]

I hope you guys continue to feel better. Mucinex is my all time go to with cold stuff. The regular stuff. Nothing fancy works best with that stuff. Side note: Joel running is hard on your feet. Please get fitted by a running store that looks at your stride/gait to find the best pair for you. There are so many way way better options that will help you feel amazing!!!

My family makes toast and eggs too like that but we call it eggs in a nest! instead of hashbrowns, we put canned tomatoes underneath with bacon bits! It’s so good:)

[@racheallewis2316]

I think that was a wonderful way to explain to your children how body shaming hurts, skinny or fat. I feel like being made fun of for being fat is acceptable to people and we don't even consider how people feel when being called too skinny because that's not really considered a bad thing but to those people it is. By the way Bonnie I am working towards loosing weight, I am very over weight, anyways your body is my goal body. I think thick is beautiful

I did NOT west shorts or skirts a single day of high school because of how skinny I am/was. The person who completely changed my life and the reason why I wear shorts to this day is Ellie! And I made sure to tell her that at CVX! I told myself, if Ellie can be super tiny and be confident in showing off her legs, so can I!!!

[@savannahmarano4552]

That message in the beginning made me happy to hear because I have always been called fat by people in school. I now have very low self confidence because of it, and I really am working on losing weight because its unhealthy I have extra weight. But, even though I weight extra weight my boyfriend has been giving me the confidence I have never had for a few years. Also lunchables are still super good to me for some reason 😂😂 There quick and easy to eat especially since I have a busy schedule since I’m online schooled and am doing school 90% of the day and have barley time to eat.

[@tawnayrigoyen1557]

We buy both . We look at the stuff in them. We stock up on meds as well for winter. But lucky we haven’t need meds. Get vitamins for them. We give our kids NyQuil for ours at night to help them sleep.

Hey Bonnie, with the medicine, if you look at the back, it tells you what the active ingredients are, and how much of it is in the bottle. If the amounts match, the strength is the same if the active ingredients are the same :)

I know it’s rough dealing with the symptoms but you’d seriously be better off doing elderberry syrup and vitamin c and whole foods. Cough medicine including Tylenol can actually make the illness longer by reducing glutathione (weakening the immune system). We drink sodium ascorbate in our water when sick or trying not to get sick and do elderberry syrup for the kids as a preventative measure and while sick. Echinacea and goldenseal are good too. Colloidal silver is great too.
