Confused? LONG STORY SHORT:
My name is Jess! I had a daughter (Lilia) at age 18 w/ my high school sweetheart. We mutually split up & co-parent to this day. I met someone new, got married at age 19, had twin boys (Kyson & Kaden) and another son (Landen). He cheated, we split ways, & he’s not around much. After juggling life as a single mom of 4 for some time, I met Chris, he had 2 sons: Caden and Tommy, who eventually became my step sons. After Chris and I got married, we had our 7th child together, Addelyn. We’re one big, complicated, blended family & every second of our story is on UA-cam, you can start from the beginning here: • 8 Weeks Pregnant!
FAQ: Yes, we’re done having kids.
FAQ: Names and ages of the kids: Caden (step son, born in 2009), Lilia (daughter, born in 2010), Tommy (step son, born in 2010), Kyson (son, born in 2012), Kaden (son, born in 2012), Landen (son, born in 2014), Addelyn (daughter, born in 2016)
FAQ: Who are the dads? Gabe (Lilia’s dad), Drake (Kyson, Kaden, and Landen bio dad), Chris (Caden, Tommy, Addelyn’s dad)
Fun fact from a trauma counselor: not all video games are bad for your brain. It can release stress, creates healthy stress, increases dexterity, and if a child is struggling to open up, it can be used as a method to connect with teens. I think social media is far worse tbh.
Yup social media is way worse
I need to tell that to my mom 😂
This is so interesting, thank you for sharing!
Yup, our trauma counsellor told us told get our teen in front of Tetris to help her process!
nah but they can get addiction then you will be hindered in school because of video games
I start 12th grade in a week!! I love watching all your kids grow up. I can't believe they're all starting 2nd, 5th,7th and 9th grade. I been watching your channel Jess since it was just Lilia and the twins and they were just 4 and 2. I was only 7 years old and I am almost 18 now. I can't believe I watched your family and kids come into this world and grow. Love you guys
That is crazyyyy 🥹
today was my first day of highschool!! i love coming home afterschool to a new jesssfam video
for me, video games arent much of an issue during the weekdays. as long as their homework is done (me visually seeing it first) and chores are done, i think they deserve it at the end of the day. as a way to relieve stress in between school work.
Definitely agree, as long as everything is done then my daughter has complete free time until it’s time to get ready for bed
i still cant wrap my head around that the boys have grown like the twins have grown up so much and there voices omg kyson hes goin to be such a nice kind guy when hes all grown up i cant wait to see what all 6 of ur kids do
We have a similar rule at our house when it comes to video games. Now that school has started they only get to play on Friday evenings and Saturdays for a little bit and Sundays are family days, we go to church in the morning and then for the rest of the day we watch movies, eat food, go to the park and just hang out and it has becomes such a wonderful tradition and my preteens are actually enjoying it
the “ask mom, ask dad” part is so relatable😂😂
I have undiagnosed adhd and having screen time actually helps me to concentrate more and function better so for some cases screen time is brilliant. Also I love your channel so so much ❤❤
You may think you have ADHD, but only a medical professional can determine if you actually have it.
Our screen time rules for weekdays when I was a kid was always never before school, then after school homework first and switch off as soon as dinners ready! Always worked for us❤
Hey Jess! My boys(7th grader and 9th grader) have video games Friday through Sunday. I used to let them play through the week, but they lost that privilege because of poor performance at school. Once we put it to a weekend thing only, they improved. This is coming from someone who played video games(the sims) every day. I always had good grades though lol
Literally same in every way 🤣 The sims was a way of life 😜
@JesssFam I'm like still so addicted to it lol I upload lifestyle vlogs on my youtube channel and then play the sims right after😂 it's a problem 😅
0:07 I love how gravity falls is playing in the background 😂❤😭🔥
I'm not a parent, but i wanted to share my opinion on the gaming thing as I have grown up playing them. I personally believe that depending on the game & the reasons why they might enjoy/play it, gaming can be helpful for a lot of people, because depending on the game you're still working your brain in a lot of different ways & in some cases can help teach certain things
As a not parent but a cousin who is half my age.... I think they are good moderation. I've seen kids that literally only play video games 🎮 and that was bad and the things they learn on mmmo games is interesting. With all the things they are in I don't think it would be bad. They are gone for too long to get addicted in my opinion.. but that's my personal opiniom
Love this perspective 🫶🏻 Definitelyyy agree depending on the game. Fortnite just doesn’t do it for me 😅
@@JesssFam if i could suggest a few different games that have better teachable things they might enjoy. i could dm you on Instagram
OMG, the nerves before the first day are so real! 😱 I love how you handle it all, Jess. Can’t wait to see how Lilia adjusts to high school too! New adventures await! 🍂✨
Keep it how it is. Because if they don't have limits.. they'll draw apart and stop doing things like swimming together etc because they'll be busy gaming etc etc. Keep it how it is. ❤
I still can't get over Kyson's voice change. He sounds so grown up
As a teacher, school is STRESSFUL for kids. They are constantly using their brains and working from one subject to the next. I think video games are a great way for them to relax and do something they enjoy after hours of work. After chores and everything else ofc.
Have been a gamer all my life! As someone with severe ADD especially all throughout my school years it really helped keep me focused and keep my mind moving. Gaming is way underminded. I’m 33 and still game daily to this day such an outlet for me
HEY JESSS ILYSM AND WATCH ALL YOUR VIDEOS AND HAVE FOR THE PAST 4 YEARS I LOVE YOUUUUUUUUUU❤❤❤❤❤
love your fam
love how when you asked Landon what he was excited for he said he's excited for girls lol
Ur such a good mama! hope they had fun 🙌!!
Just wait until Lilia is a senior!! I still cant believe how grown they all are.
Usually during the week it’s only educational games like Animal Jam, during the week, and on weekends other games like fortnight. At least that’s what it is in our house. And even then it’s after homework and or sports.
Educational games only LOVE that idea!
@@JesssFambut they won’t 😂
Sending prayers for all your kids to have a safe school year and a fun one
We have been waiting for this stuff I hope we are finally getting caught up with their real life this summers vlogs were all over the place and so spread out we need to get a schedule of what days does she post when her content is gonna be super spread out
Haven't watched you for a while but Landon and the twins my god
I love their arguments on why they should play video games. I'm totally on the same way I limit screen time a lot (my son's 9) it's just totally not good for them and my son it's just like your kiddos love their games OBSESSED actually it come in handy for discipline as well hehe you're doing great mama ❤
JESSICA AND CHRIS ALL SEVEN KIDS ARE GETTING REALLY BIG
I rmbr I started watching last year, it was a back to school video so I know it’s been a year I been watching 💕
I hope that they all have a wonderful school year!
Homework and chores done. My boys play sports with practice everyday. I don't mind video games after they need to unwind too!
A allow video games IF grades stay up, chores are done, homework is done during the school year
Good morning Jesssfam happy Wednesday morning to you and I enjoy your channel and you are amazing supporter
My mom doesn’t allow me and my siblings to be on any electronic devices until our homework is completely done and confirmed to be done.
The fact that Lilla is in high school, the twins are in middle school, Landon is in 5th grade and Addy is in second grade I swear it was yesterday when they were born so idk how they you guys feel 😭😲
I can’t believe Lilia is in high school!!
I’ve been watching you since I was like 8 witch is so crazy to me I am now 17 and still absolutely LOVE your videos ❤
Please make more videos I miss watching you guys!
Video games for us are fun games like soccer football non learning video games only for the weekends otherwise 30min per day the 30 min per day will get taken away if homework doesn’t get done
Yayyy for the first day of school! 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
Part of allowing video games on school days allows children to learn self moderation. I had a cousin who wasn’t allowed junk food or video games and so whenever he was at my house all he did was eat junk and play games versus my sister and I always had the choice of what to eat or do. I believe this helped us learn to make the decisions that were best for us on our own. Maybe a few times we played games instead of studying or ate too much junk but it allowed us to learn and make better choices in the future without a parent making us do it.
I love her hair longer. So pretty. ❤
Love the idea of only weekend but still if you are in a dark room your eyes can get very hurt but you just can’t feel it
Hey Jess I read something at school saying that video games actually make kids have better focus due to them always having to know what’s going on in the game
That room looks big. Lilia should get the biggest room 🤩
lilia got the room the wanted
@@user-u1h7y it was the only room available at the time. MiMi’s room was bigger, & now they moved to the addition, the room is finally available. Lilia’s is smaller, so It looks more crowded. But Addie has lots of toys & stuff, so maybe it’s for the best. Landen has a huge room too… maybe one of the biggest.
@@kimdaydreaming8086 lilia also has custom stuff in her room and everything she has fits fine for her addie is growing so it’s good to have a room to grow with her and if lilia had a concern about her room she would tell jess
@@user-u1h7y agreed 😊
It's natural for kids to want to do more of what they enjoy, whether you allow a lot or set limits. You know what's best for your family. Given the car conversation, maybe VR only on minimum days for a set amount of time may be a good compromise. Compromise is also a good skill to learn.
i just started school and it’s honestly not that bad rn i can’t belive your kids have grown up so fast making me sad 😭🩵
Im not a parent but I watch my niece and my brother who is 7 years younger than me. I have also been playing video games since I was kid. I think video games are good in moderation but also the types of games. They can teach different life-skills like teamwork, collaboration, dexterity, creativity but it also depends on the kid.
We allow 30 minutes of tablet time a night during the school year! They work hard at school all day and it's fun for them to wind down in the evening. Most nights they don't end up even going on the tablet by choice, but we never fully restrict the option. I can't go the entire week without being on my screen (computer/phone) so I just don't hold them to that same standard but I do put a time limit.
Landen really went the thing I'm exited for is girleys❤😂
I think your Friday through Sunday is good. They are close in age that they play together. My kids play way too many video games but they’re five years apart and a boy and girl so she wouldn’t give him the time of day anyway.
I LOVEEEE JESS FAM! Jess is such a good mom! She’s so kind and awesome.
Video games......weekends only!!!
I click so fast on this video. I’ve been waiting for this video for so long. I’ve seen stuff on TikTok but I wanted to see the real video of the kids first day of school. I’m so excited for this video. I love your channel you’re my favorite UA-camr I love all your kids. They are growing up so fast.
Ahhhhh❤ happy first day ❤❤❤
I'm not a parent but a big sister who often does after-school routine. My brother started middle school this year (6th grade where we live), and we're still working on video game rules. As of now, if he has homework, he knows it comes first. But I have tried to tell them that he really shouldn't be on it at all during school nights because it always causes a fight when it's time to get off and get ready for bed. It does help that he has soccer starting up this week, so now he won't have time to get on anything on those days.
Once there was a mouse in my bedroom. My Dad was at my school conference thing, so I stood on top of my bed until he got home. Took a week, but eventually we found him. I noticed someone was eating my Oreo’s. He was obsessed with Oreo cookies. So we put an Oreo on a trap & release thing… & we caught him within an hour.
The spinning did make me dizzy lol
Any news on the upstairs? Are you doing anything with that? Also, does big Caden have a room too? I hope they all get their own rooms ☺️.
I Love Jess fam❤
Omg. I love you all so much!!❤️❤️❤️
IM SO EARLYY LOVE YOU GUYS I LOVE HOW SUPPORTIVE YOU ARE GOOD LUCK GUYSS
My kids to play video games after all homework is done on our free nights. Which we won’t have many once everything starts back up. We always have a small break in between school starting and all the activities start. On the weekends they do however play the crap out of video games 😂
Love this
As long as homework and chores are finished set a timer for the time allowed to play
Will we get to see lilas first day of high school morning routine??
Video games were a core memory for me, and I even did a paper in high school stating why video games are not all bad for children, teens, etc. My mother didn't care if we played video games so long as we didn't fight over the computer (there was only one initially), and got school work and the like done lol
Not a parent but my boyfriend grew up with anger issues. Playing video games was his release. His parents and grandparents were SUPER against it, until they saw the change in him. He wasn’t nearly as aggressive to them anymore because he finally had a healthy outlet
I started 5th grade and I love it
Im around lily's age and I start yr 10 in a week today and im so nervous cause im starting GCSE'S this year and im so nervous but i love ur videos and i love ur family!
i am not a parent - but i'm the same age as you jess, and i can remember my mom not letting me play video games or go on the computer until my homework was done.
Weekday screen time(video games and tv) is limited up to an hour a day as long as they've finished their after school to-do list in my house :) And there is absolutely NO screen time before school. My son went back to school last week and it's the primary complaint at the moment lol
I raised two girls (now 20 and 21). They never cared for video games but TV and phones were definitely struggle. Stick to your guns. What mama says goes. It will do them good especially in terms of getting enough rest for school and activities. You are a rockin’ great mom. Love getting to ride alone with your sweet family’s adventures ❤❤❤
I’m about to graduate with my bachelors from college, I started watching before the twins were born🥺 I feel old
I don’t think there’s a problem with video games as long as they’re getting their work done and are respectful and responsible.
Please let me share my perspective on the video game thing with you. I don't play video games myself but my brother does. All through school he had trouble concentrating, did bad in school and had bad grades. My mom blamed it on screentime and took it away from him. He got worse. He didn't have an outlet any longer to release his stress. They found out he has ADD. Medicine, along with moderate screentime were the 2 things that helped him graduate high school. Our family councilor actually said that playing games where you have to strategize actually helps your brain prepare for the real world in a lot of situations.
Love the color of your house
kyson kinda resembles josh hutcherson 😭
Oh my gosh wait you are so right hahah
Since I didn’t have cells growing up. My kids had to turn the phone over every day at 6 and could take them out when they got home. And no video games. They loved playing outside with their friends games like man hunt and stick ball
I start tomorrow toooo😊
In a lot of elementary schools 5th grade starts changing classes
getting ready for junior high school.
I have a 5th grader, I allow video games after chores, and after homework is done. During dinner, no electronics also after 8pm, and none before school. 9 out of 10, he is out playing with friends after chores are completed. I do believe it goes with the saying that you do what is best for your family, If homework/grades start slipping or behaviors are poor I do take it away for the day! I don't allow social media other then youtube, which I monitor.
Kyson has been very cuddly lately 😊😊😊😊
i dont have video game aged kids yet but when they are of age i will definitely allow video games during the school week howevvvver there will be limitations but i know how much of a stress releaver it can be also 9x/10 they are playing with friends so they are socializing!
I’ve been watching since you were pregnant with the twins ❤
Early! Love your fam Jess ❤
It's called 'charging tower' in the kitchen for the night a place they all have to keep their phones till morning.
And tracking apps can alert you when the phone moves from a certain spot
I don’t agree with the video games being bad. Some are. But my sons both have always enjoyed video games and it’s something they enjoy as a hobby we don’t put limits but they go through spurts of playing a lot and not. My youngest son is 13
Jess, they aren’t wrong. 😂. My daughter played games and oh my. Well she’s now 28 and co-owns a Gaming company and they have surplus over 2 million dollars.
Now she works long hours to get there but yes they can make millions on gaming. 😂😂😂.
No technology during the week. It just causes to many issues with homework 🙃
This is why I like games and things like that because I can compromise with my kids. They can get screen time after they finish their homework. It’s like a reward.
With me I’ve seen increase of school grades with more screens time but mine if they slip, it will go down again. It depends on child. Both of mine are on the spectrum so video games helps them stay focused and calm so as long as they are doing good in school and do their responsibilities and are kind to their family or friends, let the screen time slide. But that’s how I do it
ME AND KYSON LITERALLY HAVE THE SAME TYPES OF SNACK LIKINGS🩵😜
Under a minute! ❤😊
Under 30mins❤
I allow my kids a few hrs after school to play video games to unwind
I have a 5th grader. On the days he doesn’t have a sport or after school club we allow video games only after his homework and reading is done.
As long as all homework or reading and All chores are done. Then maybe an hour of outside time. They can play video games everyday
So interesting to read these comments on gaming as I’m quite strict with my boys and how much time they spend playing! Like to see what others do tho as I don’t like stopping them from doing things they enjoy but I also don’t want to ruin their brains 😂
After being invaded with rodents earlier this year we found these electronic plug ins that gets rid of rodents and bugs. It sends off some kind of high frequency sound that only rodents and bugs can hear. Dogs and cats are safe with them but I dont know about Iguanas
We have been using them since January and no bugs, no rodents, NOTHING! We bought them at Home Depot and I'm sure you can get them on line as well. Good Luck!
As for the video games, my kids turn into different people when they play video games…so what I do is - they’re only allowed to play video games unless it’s raining (and it hardly rains 🤭)
When you were saying good night don't let the bedbugs bite well there's this really cute saying good night sweet dreams don't let the bedbugs bite and if they do hit them with a shoe and tell him I don't want to sleep with you my daughter is Arachnophobia about spiders.
We always said " good night , sleep tight, don't let the bedbugs bite"
