I understand where Josiah is coming from. He took over and did a good job when his older brother was suffering medical problems. Now he is relegated to a laborer. Respect his opinion and give them both different responsibilities. Good, good young men and very knowledgeable and hard working. Keep them close and love on them while you can.

@@freefahrenseriously! That big of a remod they could have given these young men their own space! Good way to make them want to move out sooner. Justin could have an office in the huge basement or the oldest boy in the basement and as they move out it would give the younger boys their own space. What teenage boy wants a bed three feet away from his brother. Let alone a twin bed at their age.

Those boys are different yet the same - they both have strength of character, integrity and pride of ownership. Even if they fight some times they will always be close. Great job mom and dad. Treat them as individuals and keep them apart for as long as they need and things will work out

[@laurasimpson7211]

You asked Josiah why he likes the arrangement without his big brother! He told you that Jonah bosses him around and annoys him! Just a thought, maybe you can talk with Jonah and let him know, he is Not Josiah's boss, that he is his brother and to stop bossing him! Seems like Josiah has been upset for days and that makes me very sad as a viewer who loves him!

[@robbiedejonge8613]

Perhaps in the near future one of the boys should move into the cabin. They need space. The big house is bigger than it used to be BUT the boys are still sharing the same room. Another person brought up that when the oldest boy was down because of his motorcycle accident and then his younger brother took over for him and now he's having to switch back and that would be hard for anybody to have to deal with. Getting them to do chores separately is an excellent idea. They still need more space. A side note I really think it kind of seems annoying for the boys to have you constantly mentioning how they're bickering with each other. We know and they know, maybe that should be a taboo topic for a while. When things smooth over will all be able to see it.

[@freefahren]

Neither of them seem happy for years. Maybe it’s having everything they do shown to thousands daily. Maybe it’s not being allowed to join a team or have a hobby except content for KZbin. Maybe it’s working every day to afford a mansion house but still having to share your room with your brothers.

I suspect Josiah isn't as comfortable on-camera as the other kids. I know if my parent was running around with a camera to film our family dynamics I'd be trying to meld into the background as much as possible. It might be worth having a conversation with him to make sure there isn't a seed of resentment being planted with the vlog process that ultimately creates a rift as he moves into adulthood.

[@Flowers4Bees.Veggies4Me]

[@shirleymurphy1958]

Josiah has learn thru chores and responsibilities that he needs too be respected for his growth in farming . He hold his feelings in and its best too listen too what he don't say. You have competitive boys on your hands with each other. You walk a fine line Dad.

I totally understand not wanting to be bossed around by an oldest sibling. Oldest kids can feel entitled to leadership, and struggle when they don't get their own way. Younger kids know they have to earn a leadership position. Good for Josiah, for standing up for himself.

Nothing funny about stress. It’s just sunk in for the boys that the new house doesn’t even have a private bedroom for each of them. Doesn’t have to be big. People shouldn’t be forced to live, work and play together 24/7. They never get a break and Justin thinks it’s hilarious? The workout room has twice as much space as their pushed together beds. Shame.

[@theroadlesstraveled3993]

I'm sure they'll be ok. Sure they will see it that way now, but the challenges that it brings will build character and resilience that is far more valuable than private space fosters. Something some.of you obviously didn't learn in childhood.

⁠@@theroadlesstraveled3993 so a sauna, walk in shower, cold plunge area. Large bathtub, fitness room and library is just building character for the parents?

Maybe Jonah needs an "off farm" part time job. Being the employee instead of the farm boss will do him good, and it will give him a break from being with ya'll all the time. It could also make him appreciate the farm after having to work elsewhere. He does seem different lately, and at his age that teen angst should be getting better not worse.

That would take away from the farm needs and lord knows no one else is gonna do it. He's likely upset that the house that was remolded off their backs (kids do most the work) didn't even grant him a bedroom alone. I mean mom and dad got a spa js

My oldest boy is almost 14 and my second boy is almost 11. They argue and fight all the time. They really do love each other. They can’t do anything without each other. They sleep in the same room even though they have the option not too. So it’s definitely a brother thing. They will get over it as they get older. It can just be stressful as a parent

[@reneequalls5878]

Aw the boys are really growing up. It’s awesome that you recognize they are both needing to find their niche and giving them space from each other.

If you want to keep the shop area clear it might help to mark the floors. Use some black and yellow hazard tape and mark out some areas to keep clear. Make a stencil and paint those words "KEEP CLEAR" inside the hazard tape. That way you'll have a path through the middle and doors won't be blocked. You can even mark out some work areas for projects to help keep the clutter contained.
