15 Things We DON'T DO In Our Family and Why!

By the way, I am seriously impressed with the young women, like yourself, creating channels which inspire woman to be homemakers. When I would tell people I was a homemaker (you know...back when the wheel was invented), people would look at me (especially other women) like I had just grown a third eye or something. They instantly assumed I was lazy and stupid. Would it have helped if they knew I graduated high school with a 4.0 and college with a 3.8? Probably not, because then they would have considered it a waste of my abilities. My husband and I have never regretted our decision to have me take up my job as homemaker to raise our children. Even though our children are adults now, my husband still loves me being a homemaker and a homesteader. I also have a wood shop on our property. I guess that business degree came in handy after all!😁

It is so nice to see a young family with morals.

AMAZING!!! As a mom of 7 (now all grown), I shared some of these same values, I only wished I did more! We never celebrated Halloween, We never did sleepovers, We had a strict rule of no crazy play, hands to ourselves, and quiet time before bed. Just to mention a few.

Thank you for being a godly mother. Raising up arrows to go into the world with strong values and the fear of the Lord. We need much more of that! I’m an empty nester, my boys are grown and out of the house. I stay away from all of the things you mentioned in your video. We are called to be set apart, honoring The Lord how we live our lives. 🙌 Thank you!

Congratulations to the parents who raised you to become such a real person in this crazy " polluted " world . Your children are lucky to have such parents to raise them ...just everything from food to communication...all is so good

I LOVE your videos! I’m pregnant with my first child and my husband and I are both Christians. We actually found out we were pregnant on the morning of our baptism 🥰 totally agree with #15! I feel so blessed to have found your videos and look forward to watching more and getting ideas for home making and being a house wife and mother!

I was raised the way you are raising your children and I thank my parents everyday May God give you many blessings ❤

I think about 98% of what u said is how i grew up/still belive in and practice with my children. We grew up known as a "strict" family but now that im a mom i value so so much all the my parents taught me and now teach it to my own children😊💕

I admire that you not only shared what your family doesn’t do but that you shared why you don’t do that. As a child, I struggled with the “don’t do that” without that explanation of why we don’t do that. You’re doing a great job guarding your children from this fallen world, mama! 🤍

Thank you for sharing 🙏 I thought we were old fashioned but it is so refreshing and encouraging to see young family like yours with Godly morals and upbringing 🙏 We have been married for 27 years, God has blessed us with 8 children and we started our life without a tv... No Disney, no movies, no video games, no sleep overs, etc . Now, our older children, who are out of college tell us thank you for spending time with them and teaching them how to live according to Gods word as well as being an example to them. It humbles me every time they tell us that and it gives me more energy to raise the little ones without giving in to wordly ways... God bless you and your family 🙏

We agree with all of these! My husband and I have 5 daughters, all grown now. One thing we never did is tell our children there was a santa claus. We felt this was completely taking away from the real meaning of Christmas. We told our children that their gifts were from Jesus. When they were old enough to understand, we told them how God had given daddy the ability to do his job, which earned a paycheck, which purchased their gifts. Our girls were absolutely amazed that Jesus would give them a gift on his birthday. Now, they realize the most important gift Jesus gave them...eternal life! Keep in mind, the same kids who will tell your children there is no santa claus and where babies come from, are the same kids who will tell your children there is no God. If we had told them there was a santa claus, which they could see at the local mall then found out he wasn't real, why would they believe in God, which they can not see? We decorated a tree because we were having a birthday party for Jesus...which included a birthday cake. Our children NEVER felt they were missing out. In fact, they can go to God anytime, day or night! They don't have to wait until Christmas to think someone cares.

Completely agree! We have three young children and we don’t do all 15 of these things as well. Encouraging to know we’re not alone. ❤

Honey….. don’t ever change your ideals!!!! You and your hubby surely are doing the right thing!! I’m impressed by your standards in this day and age we’re living in today!! You will raise much better and stronger children because of it…& please don’t change when they get older and give you grief over your decisions!!! Children don’t always know what’s best for them! You’re the parent! I raised 2 wonderful children who are now raising a family of their own.and they didn’t suffer one bit by how they were raised… it only caused them to use the same guidelines that we used! You’re doing the right thing… no matter how many critical comments you may get. Basically they’re just not strong enough to have them for themselves…. Or only 1 parent is on the wagon… so honey you are blessed!! Keep going…🤩😍❤️👍

I don't have children, but a lot of what you don't do makes complete sense and it's admirable.

Good job, Momma! You're doing so awesome and we do things very similarly in our home! I have a vivid memory of things I shouldn't have watched as a child. Protecting our children's purity is our number one job.

Thank you for the courage to post this video. I pray that this video reaches as many mothers as possible and that their hearts and ears are opening to hear your message. And hopefully they’ll take it as it is meant. Helpful advice to navigate these modern waters of raising children instead of a message of judgment. We’ll done! 💗🙏🏻

I am so grateful for having found you today. I really am losing faith in the younger generation. You make me realize that there are still some younger people who still have values and morals they believe in and are raising their children that way. I thank God for you and people like you. May God bless you and yours!

I couldn't agree more with everything you mentioned. Your children are very blessed to have such a sweet and inspired mother.

Yes, heavy ending but so important too. Thank you for all of these! We don't do most of these as well and so it was really encouraging to watch this! Your family is standing up for what is good for your children and personal family function, not what is popular or cultural. Somethings we don't do... We don't get up at a specific time in the morning. I have Adrenal Fatigue and sometimes need to rest more and sometimes my kids do too. So I don't wake them up unless we need to go or do something time sensitive. And we usually have later mornings but it works for us and our young children. We don't allow our kids to use public bathrooms by themselves. Better safe than sorry... my heart breaks for the many hurt children. We don't always have dessert after a meal or even once a day. Juice or fruits really help give the body that sweetness it needs if we feel we want it. We don't buy checkout chelf candy. It's really not food by definition and we teach our kids that. Sometimes they still get some, like at the 4th of July Independence parade. But we like to make our own candies and foods that we can trust. We don't give allowances. Our home functions as a teamwork not a business style. And it helps teach responsibility better. When they have their own home, no one is going to give them money for washing their own dishes. But we do teach consequences, there's good ones and bad ones for all our choices. So if a job is well done there are definitely good things that happen and thankful praise too. Owning their own chores really helps too. They seem to enjoy the fact that it's theirs. We don't always make them share. If appropriate, like the toy is theirs and the other child has lots else to play with and just wants it because the owner is playing with it. They must ask politely to play with it and the owner can say "yes" or "no" nicely back. If it doesn't belong to the 1st player we teach taking turns and helping everyone have fun. (I wasn't ever taught that I could say "no" and was taken advantage of in different ways growing up.) Jared Dodd has a good YouTube video explaining why this is important. My husband and I try not to argue/discuss hard things in front of our kids. My parents always said they didn't want to "hide" anything from us... but there's so much a child can't understand and also the child can feel like it's their fault for the arguing or their responsibility to make the peace .... extra. If there's something they do hear, we make sure to let them know we resolved it and are unified again. Unidentified parents give children a huge blessing of peace, security, and love.

Mama, you do not have to explain to ANYONE, why you choose to do or not do certain things for your family! You know best.
