    I think Birdie’s first year went by so fast because Birdie decided to be a toddler the day she was born. 😂🥰🥳

    Nooo, please don't stop the "bye, turn it off now!" tradition!! I love it so much, it's so unique to our community!😊❤ Plus I find it's a very gentle and very sweet reminder to turn off my laptop and take a break from screen-time when needed 😊👍
    Birdy is getting so big, but I think it happens a lot to younger siblings, they pick up things from their brothers and sisters much quicker 😊 especially since she's not a twin or a triplet, if she wants to engage with the rest of them she has to learn quickly! I'm the fourth of five children, my mum used to tell me that that's the reason why I rush-raced all my milestones, I just wanted to be part of the big kids games and activities so bad 😂❤

      Me too. Especially for a one yr olds bday party that they have no rememberance of at all. An yes the wear want need an read thing is a very good idea. Kids r given to much for doing nuttta these days. They need to earn the things they get by cleaning their rooms an helping out with meals an cleanup aftr supper. It's alife skill they need to know...

      I absolutely agree, children can be over indulged, as some parents feel that having more is somehow the best way to show their love. These little Bean’s don’t seem to be missing out 🌈

      It also depends on how/if the family get thongs throughout the year. Growing up my parents went bigger on birthdays and Christmas, but we very rarely got toys/books etc throughout the year, so at the events you "stock up". Chloe and Ro buy for their kids throughout the year (like the new magnates recently), which is probably a better way of doing it when you have lots of kids who share toys and get each other's hand-me-downs.

    O: "bye, turn it off now" is one if my fav things about your videos. Don't stop it!
    Also I appreciate your gifting system, it makes a lot of sense, and of course you can always make changes according to your family's needs! But the idea itself is great.

    I agree with Even's confusion about why you guys would stop "bye turn it off now (or episode related word)". It's a cute sign off tradition for your channel, which is weirdly satisfying and I think would feel odd without it. I love Birdie's gifts and your local playgrounds (they are much more impressive than many in the UK)!

  • @jgr_lilli_
    @jgr_lilli_ Рік тому +14

    I think people should keep their negative opinions about your present-giving to themselves. We only see a few minutes at a time of your kids and you as the parents know best what they like and would be happy to get as a gift. I think it's pretty obvious that you put a lot of thought into the gifts being fun, useful and appropriate!

  • @elizabethkoobs1060

    I love the way Birdie was following the big kids at the park. And Cosmo pushing Sylvie in the swing. You can just FEEL the love that all the children have for each other. I really love the want/need/wear/read guide that you follow for gift-giving. It really works great for your family! You and Ro are wonderful parents!❤ I forgot to tell Miss Birdie HAPPY BIRTHDAY❣️😊💞💞💞💞😘

  • @elizabethgrogan8553
    @elizabethgrogan8553 Рік тому +8

    I think Birdie's gifts are just perfect. I've seen some redicullous birthday gifts and outings online. Children are overwhelmed by the sheer number of gifts. Some parents don't understand that they are creating future greedy monsters, who will expect a grand array of gifts on every memorable occasion. I wonder how they cope when they leave home and have to fend for themselves. I think that has contributed to so many of the entitled generation that is entering the workplace with the highest expectations. In the US there are those who refuse to work on their birthday, and many who speak about "my birthday month".
    Children need our love and protection. They want full bellies and a warm bed. They like to be encouraged and praised and they deserve to know how much we cherish them. Everything else is just the occasional bonus.

  • @debrabeaumont3330
    @debrabeaumont3330 Рік тому +7

    I love the way you choose gifts for your children. They are always so well thought out for each individual child. The children are always so excited and appreciative. I think choosing the same gifts for the twins is a good idea. These are their own personal gifts that they don't need to share. Although all your children seem to be able to share exceptionally well and are kind and considerate, not only towards one another, but in general.
    I think the tradition of "turn it off now" should be continued. Not only do we viewers enjoy it, the younger ones who have not had much of a chance to join in on it will enjoy it just as the older ones have. You both are doing such a great job in raising your children. I am glad you don't allow the criticisms to cause you to change what you know works for your family. Blessings to you and your family. Debbie

I might adapt your system. 😊

    Very wise. Keep it simple. I remember inviting every child from our twins' two classes at school at one stage for their birthday in our house with a clown entertainer - i.e. about 24 children x 2 so about 48 children and each of the 48 brought not just one present for the twin in their class but in some cases a present for each twin as they were so kind. It was completely out of hand, so many things they could hardly look at them.
