Lol the cougar saying how there's no cute nickname for young guys they're attracted to. I mean sugar baby still applies, regardless of gender. You could also go with twink, which is what I'll use from now on 😂. It's just as accurate regardless of orientation.
Same here. I'm proud to say I could never identify my own son by the feel of his chest. It's an incredibly low bar, but I've at least passed that level of parenting.
Good lord... imagine if that first "challenge" or whatever you wanna call it was with fathers and daughters! Also Dane thinking they meant "sweets" as in candy bars was both hilarious and wholesome. Never change, Dane.
I think some women have the “my bf can’t play video games” thing because some men take it to the extreme and game all the time rather than be an equal partner and share household responsibilities. My bf likes to game for an hour or two after work every day and I have no problem with it since we both have tasks around the house that we do, like dishes and cooking. It can get exhausting if one partner is expected to take care of all the chores while the other gets to enjoy leisure activities
Haha yes exactly. Big difference between a hobby and an addiction. My ex-husband is addicted to gaming, a cheater, and a neglectful dad. He’d act like I was some kind of nagging b for pointing out the constant gaming when we were married. He wouldn’t even download games I liked so we could play together and he only had 1 controller😂. Now 5 years later.. my boyfriend and I play video games together and my son is included.
Sorry I know this isn't related to your comment... but if just like to say I love your screen name 🤩 I haven't listen to NSN in forever but at one point I had posters of him all over my walls in HS lol
@Parking_lot182 yup! It’s definitely a generational thing going on with these women. I personally love Skyrim, Assassin’s Creed, and the Bioshock series. Gaming is a leisure activity just like watching tv or reading a book
This may be a boomer take but my husband doesn't game and I love it! It's not about attention at all, more about how all his hobbies are productive. He either fixes things, makes things or helps other people in need.
Yes. I know someone that was literally paying bills 60/40 with her as 60 and she had just given birth. Her husband used to come home and just play video games instead of doing anything or helping with the baby. Until she yelled at him. Hard.
To anybody wondering, the brain specifically doesn't finish developing until 25 for MEN specifically. Women's brains finish developing at 23. Edit: WOW, y’all arguing the facts are just IDIOTS 😅
It isn't when you break it down, saying things like, "You don't know how to do your taxes yet," and stuff like that is just a great way to make young people even more uncomfortable to talk about these things. School should be teaching us since our parents are just assuming we would just know when we are an adult. Plus, your facts are wrong, our brain is in a constant state of change from the time it first starts developing until the time you, or even I, die. Brain SIZE does not change much in your 20s unless there is some sort of traumatic injury or surgery. What you may be referring to is the brain maturing. But, even then, people in their late 20s could still have a maturing brain. The last thing that matures is the frontal lobe and that's what a lot of people argue is the area of the brain that young adults struggle with the most. But, the frontal lobe is not the only portion of the brain associated with planning, reward, motivation, etc. The frontal lobe, and more specifically the prefrontal cortex, is the area where (we assume) we process abstract thought. In other words, it's where we think a large portion of our imagination might reside, and where we process ideas and scenarios that we have not encountered yet. Things like planning and such are here as well. That is what I think you may be referring to, but I'm not sure because brains are always developing in some manner, and his "aggression" (for lack of a better word) against young adults that are just trying to live life and be free to figure out what they know they're going to do in life is not beneficial to... anyone. But, I do agree that spoiled people, like the ones in the show, are not going to be ready when life hits them.
I think at this point TLC should stand for Tasteless Life Choices, tactless life choices? Trashy Living Channel? I dunno, anything is more fitting than the learning channel. OOOOh maybe it's learn everything you shouldn't do
I can't. I can't watch this show even in jest. Every new "game" that comes up sends me into a deeper despair. The mother-son relationships must be SO so broken by the end of this and those poor kids are going to be so messed up mentally and emotionally. It's downright sickening.
@@GingerThereforeNoSoul Technically the first mistake was giving us free will because then even if God wanted to clean it up he can't because he'd have to take away free will. We need to just throw all these pedos in a hole where they can just be with other pedos and not be up here being creepy predators
Ken, the gaming thing is exactly what you suggested - not enough attention. My partner went through a period of gaming almost 24/7 and it was an absolute no go for me, which is the same issue he had with me somewhat recently. There's nothing wrong with having hobbies, but I think it becomes an issue when you're actually not spending any time with your partner for extended periods of time.
hmmm, sounds like you and your partner do not want to give eachother space while not really enjoying spending time together..... maybe you two should reeavluate your relationship
@@Metakova if I had been insecure I wouldn't have commented in the first place bud. There's also nothing "defensive" about telling someone they're kinda dumb for trying to make a judgement about people from a comment about video games.
My freshman year of hs, I scared the shit out of my English teacher because I started to say “Age is just a number” and he stopped me like ‘child NO’. Then I dropped “and jail is just a room.” It made him laugh reasonably hard
imagine if the roles were reversed and a ton of dads were just swapping daughters and for the challenge had to feel all the girls chest and try to figure which one was their daughter 🤮
equally gross , but twitter would get cancel that programn at the second episode cause "only wemen can be victims of sexualization🤓🤓" . i hate the people who thinks this is fine
While I think this show is cringey, I don't think women's chests and men's chests can be treated equally. Women's breasts are considered private parts men's chests aren't. Women would be arrested if they were all standing out in public with their tops off. I do agree this show would never be made if the genders were reversed.
The moment they saw their sons and moms on this show, should’ve been the moment they both realize that they have problems… Like hey, I’m into dating people as young as my own son! And son’s thinking, why am I into dating women as old as my mom? The fact that they can’t see the OBVIOUS problem in both of their dating lives right in front of their face, astonishes me. That reveal should’ve been the end of the show. Right there. Like it should’ve been a big aha moment, instead of now, I’m gonna date your mom, and moms date their friends sons. Second episode should’ve been a therapy session.
I dated someone for years who was obsessed with video games to an unhealthy level. The fact that other things in life were not prioritized as they should have been was the issue for me, not that he liked video games.
The whole step-family trope in the industry has always been creepy to me. Hell, I even find the relationship that Allison and Luther had in The Umbrella Academy creepy. And then there's people that argue that they're (Allison and Luther) not blood related, so it's okay. They are adopted siblings that grew up in the same household from when they were babies! It's creepy and disgusting! Okay, I'm getting off my soap box now.
They were raised together with a bunch of other kids like a weird orphanage, they were raised to see each other as teammates not family. The show is trying to show them reconnecting as a family unit now as adults. I don't like the relationship either but it's part of how messed up their family unit is, after all one of them was also married twice.
So I am a “step” mom of a 27yr old man & I didn’t become his “step”mom until he was an 11yr old boy. I would NEVER!!! This is horrible and truly disgusting. Btw, I do this to the word “step” because I don’t see our relationship like that. I see him as my son.
@@shayla106 did you miss the part where I said I disliked the relationship aswell? I was only explaining how it at least makes sense story wise, abused/neglected children will develop unhealthy feelings towards their family in some cases.
Legally, you can’t put someone on a show like this without telling them all the facts first. So they all knew what they were walking into. If one of the guys were to get jealous because someone was talking to their mom and they got violent with that guy that would be on the producers for creating that environment. So beforehand to cover their own asses they would have everyone sign consent forms, saying that they completely understand what the show is about and have complete transparency
I got to the paddleboard airplane thing and the thing about she remiscising about doing that with her son, I cringed so hard I literally started tearing up. And I don't mean from laughter. I read somewhere that crying come from an overwhelming emotion. I have never been this overwhelmed by cringe before. This is a new experience and I would prefer not to have it.
I can picture it, all be standing in the same room. Watching a screen on a wall, arms crossed, scratching hairy forearms while making dad jokes about each other.
The whole shirtless thing,I’d pray my son had a scar on his shoulder or something I can identify.I have three scars.1from surgery as a kid,one from cutting my finger on an apple peal and the third from cutting my ankle while shaving. It was quite a bloody mess. Wonder if anyone was doing that
My theory regarding why the step family type stuff was always prominent on the hub so to speak, was that it's a taboo/ forbidden thing, which increases the appeal. (People are attracted to doing the things they shouldn't etc) Similar to how forbidden romances are a popular subgenre. That just increases the effectiveness of the "excitement".
I read an article once about how adult videos are affecting younger generations for the worse. Basically younger generations have so much p**n available to them that they feel it is just normal. like it is normal to film yourself and do money shots and stuff like that. The article also said that because people are so desensitized to adult films, people are looking for more risque and extreme genres. That's why the Step Mom, Step Sister genre is so popular now. It taps into a more taboo and forbidden nature. It is basically a feeling of "I know this is wrong and i will never do it but the forbidden taboo of it makes it hot" I mean there are some sick people who are totally into banging their family and see nothing wrong with it. I think the majority of people who watch the "Step" genre , watch for the thrill of the taboo nature and not so much for the actual family aspect. The genres will keep getting more extreme until it gets to a point where everyone says "you know what, we need to put a stop to these kinds of adult films."
What’s weird is how the moms and sons (for the most part) accept each other’s dating preferences…I wonder which happened first. Like did the son hook up with a older woman and that got the mom thinking there’s all these young guys looking for older women, or did the mom hook up with a young guy and the son got the idea from him. It’s just odd that both of them would have this desire to date someone the same age as there parent and child
My girlfriend wrote about this ‘adult entertainment’ trend. They call it ‘faux-cest’ & like Ken indicated, it’s the dominant new genre in porn. It was very odd watching a bunch of that content with her in the ‘research’ for her article. It became pretty comical after a while😂
1. I hope the sons realize how weird this show is and stage an uprising to get the show canceled and 2. If, IF for SOME REASON all of this works out, all of these people will be related through marriage (assuming they get that far) and they’d be step-brother-dads to each other…
Also most porn is shot through the male gaze and isn't interesting for people who don't like the fake stuff or the overly bad acting. I know a lot of people who lean towards erotica as well.
I don't think I would watch this show to save my life ... Outside of watching these two make fun of it!! 😂😂 I love it. Y'all make my day with your videos.
Most people, from my understanding, that watch the "step" stuff don't actually have any sort of fantasy for people that are family to them. I know for the stepmom and stepdad stuff that it's more of a power dynamic thing that people like. As for the step sis or step bro stuff, because that usually involves like the whole "getting stuck" scenario, I still think it's, again, to do with a power dynamic sort of fantasy. Of course, there are always the weirdos that actually want to do things with family, but for most people that watch it, it tends to just be a power dynamic scenario that the people are ACTUALLY into and fantasize about.
My response to “those people” would be to find other videos that have that same power dynamic without watching literal incest . Whether you like it or not, when you watch that you become desensitized to how messed up it is.
Also they say 8 women, but there’s only ever 7 in the promo . So I think April and Ricky didn’t want to continue so they came up with the “elimination” so they could go home. They also never really talk to anyone. Lol I think they were suuuuuper weirded out.
I have an ex who is into gaming, or was when I dated him. It wasn't a problem for me until it was literally all he did when he wasn't working. He would come home & without even saying hi to me, would turn off the show I was watching to game. He would also ignore our child, like one time I was really sick & our son was begging his Dad to change his diaper & he kept saying "in a min"...this went on for too long so I changed him. His gaming ruined our relationship cuz who wants to be with someone who ignores your existence every day? He proceeded to do the same thing with his next relationship, who he married. I made an effort to get along with her & eventually she started bitching to me about him, lol. He was doing the same thing...gaming after work til he went to bed & ignoring his wife & their kids, & she let it slip that on the wkends my son was there he was gaming instead of spending time w/ his child. My son hasn't spoken to his Dad in 10 yrs, due to his Dad ignoring him & never making an effort with him, acting like seeing him twice a month was enough...which obviously wasn't enough for my kid. My ex is on his 3rd family. I hope he's learned. He's been with this one longer than he was with me or his 1st wife. I don't know cuz my kid cut off contact so I have no reason to speak to his Dad. Having interests / hobbies is fine, but when those interests start to negatively impact your relationship, say for example, too much money is being spent on the hobby & your wife has to ask her sister to buy groceries to feed the stepkids (true story, I'm the sister) more than once maybe the interest needs to be set aside for awhile. Or when said interest starts taking over the house making it unusable (again my bro-in-law). Or when the interest means your partner doesn't have the time, energy, or money to have their own interest cuz their busy working, cleaning, taking care of kids & trying to pay bills & put food on the table by themselves. There has to be a balance between the relationship and the interest.
I 💯 Agree! So sorry to hear your story and how you and your child had to go through this. I hope a new , more positive, chapter will open for you both 💖
I think it would be worse if they were feeling up their kid to see which guy they want because that would mean they were sexualizing the touch that’s going towards their child. If they’re just trying to figure out which one is their kid then it’s more of an investigative touch instead of sexualized contact. I mean unless the moms go crazy with the way they’re feeling on these “BOYS”. But they would have to know that one of them is going to be their son so it would be stupid to do that. I need to just watch this part and try not to throw up 🤢🤮
The entire concept is just wrong though. Their sons are GROWN men, and the idea that a mom would be able to recognize her son by feeling him up would indicate that it's something that's happened before. I don't believe any parent should know how their adult child's body feels.
I agree with your sentiments about not being fully grown until mid 20s or so. Even then, I felt like I didn't have a good sense of myself until I hit my 30s.
TOTALLY AGREE with you guys about relationships. My husband is a huge car guy and I'm obsessed with animals and nature haha. We embrace each other's passions and include one another in them. And to be honest life is good❤❤❤ Mutual love and respect!
As a young woman, trying to imagine the opposite... it's pretty nauseating. I would not want my dad trying to identify me by touch while knowing he views all the other women my age in a potentially sexual manner. Fukcing disgusting.
It's like a college dorm and their moms broke in - it truly is DISTURBING.... everyone should just have stayed home, away from eachother, alone in their rooms, on the hub, in private 😅😑 I could never have watched this on my own, hahah
It's not a boomer take Ken. The Pre-frontal cortex, the seat of executive function, doesn't fully develop until your 25. So there is biological evidence that we don't truly become fully matured adults until our midtwenties.
Gabriel's mom's face looks so bizarre. I assume she's had buccal fat removal but it also looks like she got cheek filler? She looks like a caricature of herself.
It's crazy she got buccal fat removal at that age too. Drs have been warning younger people, that it will make u look older when u age! & it wasn't trendy until recently so i bet she got it recently. When she's 60 she will look freaking 95. Its def not doing her good already
I doubt she got it done. she's thin. she probably just lost fat in her face due to aging. These women all look fine and people are judging the wrong thing! lol its their mental state we judge for participating in the show.
Ken: Let me know if you wanna watch more? Me: No, No I don't... ALONE. But with you guys YES. LOL. Please continue the cringe fest in a slightly digestible format.
I think they made this show to show these women they’re dating their ‘sons’ by dating such young men. And how it feels when other older women date YOUR son.
@K Jay I mean, not really a meaning to it. In the video before this one, Ken said: who would think about this.. let’s make a show with milfs … what were they thinking. It’s all about the money off cause.
As a Car guy and a Gamer, I completely agree with you guys, My fiance does get sick of heading to race days, my dad and I working on our cars and me gaming until early hours in the morning, but she also understands that that's just who I am and accepts it. She knows that if needs something or wants to do something that I'll drop what I'm doing. I do try to include her, but she gets bored eventually. We made a rule that there's no gaming on Weekends so that we can spend time together and car work is kept to a minimum too
I'm a 38yr old mother with a 17yr old son (I also have 3 daughters) and the thought of even being with a 25yr old makes me physically ill! I'm sorry but it's just gross! Those are KIDS, yes, I get that they're legal age, but my Lord, a 21yr old is a KID!
People were so ridiculous back then I do paranormal investigation those shows taught me critical thinking because 75 to 80 percent of the time there are reasonable explanations
I've seen the darkest shock horror and things like where people unalive themselves and the bodies are not found after years. I've watched surgery that removes living worms from the brain. I can eat my lasagna through that. This is the first thing that ever grossed me out
The commentary and takes by Ken and Dane make this show a bit more bearable. And yet, they bring in some really good points that make you question how this show is even continuing. Y’all are the best. ❤
To answer ken's question about video games, I've dated guys who spend literally all day playing video games, not wanting to do ANYTHING else. Playing until 4am, being loud and keeping me up. One boyfriend wouldn't even help me when I was sick because he was too busy in the other room playing melee.
I went through a similar experience with that... My ex worked came home went straight to playing online with his friends never said hi to me or his daughter and wouldn't even help take care of her or even sirens family time with me and her...I ask him anything and he gets mad... So I just avoid those types of people to avoid drama and toxicity.
I need you guys to keep watching this, because it's a train wreck. I want to know what happens, but I also need the filter of Ken and Dane because I can't watch this without them. 😂
25:07 - 25:29 the way Ken pauses a lot during his speech and therefore causes the weird high-pitched whirring in the background to stop-and-start reminds me of the instrumentation in Cabin Fever! by The Bad Seeds.
Funny that you said 26. I turned 26 in November and I am so far from independent. I'm at the high end of the spectrum with ADHD, so I only just graduated in May. Two gap years at separate points. There were times my family suggested they just buy me an apartment and pay for my expenses for the rest of my life. The fact that I come from a well off family and have always been pampered probably hasn't helped my development. Don't know anything about taxes, salary, benefits, insurance, etc. My parents do everything from me. I'm so scared of being independent and wonder if I ever will be. Thinking back to those times we weren't sure if I could ever be a functioning member of society or if I'd just have to be provided for for the rest of my life. I don't know how long I'll be living with them, and I'm really lucky to come from such a fortunate family, given how much help I need. But I guess we all develop at our own paces. Maybe one day I'll be grown lol
I turned 26 in November too! ✌🏽😋 And I honestly got independent by jumping off the deep end with no floaties and no swimming skills whatsoever 😂 I just went about it figuring out what I use that I pay for (Spotify, electricity, water, rent, car) and who /how I have to paythem (online which most are these days or if there's a paper bill that comes in the mail) and just knowing when that bill is due. Taxes is a bit tricker honestly, I was able to do my first couple of years by myself but now I think I'll just start having a professional do them 😅it really is stressful! Don't beat yourself up too much, baby steps are still steps ! Maybe start by trying taking over an easy bill like a subscription or cellphone bill ?
I can relate. I'm in my mid 30s and I've only recently came to understand why I've never been able to fully cut that umbilical cord. There's a lot of trauma, depression and anxiety involved in my case and I feel like I missed out on a lot of growth, self exploration and development in my 20s. It might feel like you have to conquer a mountain but you can only do that by taking that first step, so cut that mountain into tiny pieces and focus on those (Just like Lorena says in her comment above). Even the most experienced mountaineers never climb mountains in one go. They climb one portion of it, acclimatize to the altitude and come back down so they can reach a little higher on the next try. And even if you never reach the top that is totally fine. You will learn and grow a ton from even just giving it a go. And you might just discover you don't even want to climb mountains and want to go scuba diving instead ;) I would suggest that if you want to become more self sufficient you make that wish clear to your parents. It sounds like they care a great deal about you so I'm sure they are willing to help you reach those goals. But I know from experience they just might not now how to do that. Keeping that umbilical cord intact is not something you do on your own so it might be just as difficult for them as it is for yourself. Talking about these things often is that very first step. And remember that there is no shame in getting help. You could let your parents help you in becoming independent. For example, tell your parents that, instead of doing taxes for you, to teach you how to do them so that, over time, you can do them on your own. And of course professional help is always a good idea. And look at it from the bright side, you are 26 so you still have plenty of time to figure it out. And then take a look at the women on this TLC show. They are in their 50s and appear to be totally lost in life. Judging from your comment you seem more mature than a lot of them, seriously. I wish you all the best in your journey.
I also turned 26 in november hahah and i also have ADHD! I have never had parental support though, being a child who aged out of foster care(mom dead, dad druggie). I say, continue to be grateful for your parents help, it really is a blessing. And make some goals for yourself!!!! Buy a beautiful journal you'll enjoy opening, think of something small you want to accomplish by yourself (pick up groceries, pay a bill, set up an appointment), plan it out by writing it down, all the steps you need to take (labeling steps and checking them off help with my ADHD) and do that goal! You are capable! You are strong! Honestly, one step at a time, but keep taking steps. Plan them out one at a time and they'll get easier!
Another big point is that people who play videogames typically game at night, when most couples are together. Especially if you dont live together and work during the day, you kind of have to pick between your romantic interest and your electronic interest. I game for 4-9 hours at a time, so I could see how that would be frustrating for the other person.
Mine is on it all day and night… he sits there on his computer all day and night well I’m in the same room but it’s like I’m not even there either way. Never even wants to do anything but be on his computer.
@@aurialirez 😞 I went thru the same thing ! Unfortunately got to the point where it felt like we were roommates and not even partners. After so many times I communicated these feelings , I realized I just wasnt as high a priority to him as he would say I was. I stopped believing his words and I saw no action, and so I just chose me first✌🏽
This is 100% creepy man. However I can’t help but think how creepy it would be if Dads and Daughters were doing this. Like the whole show is just eww. These boys need therapy for sure. The moms too I guess. 😂❤
im 28 and honestly i agree w you about the not being fully grown till ur late 20s lol. i finally actually feel like an adult, and i mean, i still need more time still haha, but i dont necessarily believe that ppl that had harder childhoods grow up faster. While that may be true in survival mode at the time during childhood, trauma can lead to substance abuse which can really set ppl back with growing up and being a full functioning adult. not that them being pampered is a good or bad thing, but I think the person with less trauma will be able to psychologically be in a better position to get a job and be able to have a family of their own or do whatever they want in life. it is a form of privilege in my opinion. but also at the same time, good things in life require work. and whether you have trauma or not, it still takes work to be a good person/functioning stable adult.
When I was in my 20’s I moved to the city, I couldn’t get away fast enough. Now in my 30’s I live and pay rent for the apartment attached to my parents house. I just started my first career this year. I can’t imagine leaving again. I thought in my 20’s I’d like move to California or japan or whatever and have a cool career. Now I’m so happy to finally have an office job, alone most of the day, entering data. Seeing my family every day. Living in my small town, in the country. It’s heaven. I also didn’t know in my 20’s that I have severe anxiety and I’m going through getting diagnosed with autism. I didn’t know there were reasons for my struggles. I knew nothing in my 20’s. I feel like I’m just starting to figure life out a little. I feel like it’ll only get better.
“Age is just a number… and jail is just a box” -Ken
I LOVE this quote 😂
That one is pretty damn old though, just like the mothers on this show
ive heard a similar one: age is just a number and so is 9-1-1
Yea me too lol
But they are all over 18, so this is really irrelevant
Lol the cougar saying how there's no cute nickname for young guys they're attracted to. I mean sugar baby still applies, regardless of gender. You could also go with twink, which is what I'll use from now on 😂. It's just as accurate regardless of orientation.
I'm a 44 yo mum with a 21yo son. I'm dying inside watching this. Actually shrivelling. Literally my organs are dessicating & turning to dust.
Oh come on, you know you would love to have some 22 year old underwear model with washboard abs make you his valentine. Lol
Oof, even the cringe filters (CTK & Dane) isn't helping, huh?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You’re only 44, some of these women are almost 60!
Same here. I'm proud to say I could never identify my own son by the feel of his chest. It's an incredibly low bar, but I've at least passed that level of parenting.
“Feel up your kids…..for a candy bar”
Never change, Dane 😂😂😂
That shit sent me😂
In his defense... if I hadn't read the comments that's what I would've thought lol
That was very wholesome of buff to think it was about sweets 😂
Shit was funny.. so ya agreed
He is so amazing 😭😭💀💀
I don’t care if it’s fake- their minds came up with this and that’s what’s sending me into heart failure
Good lord... imagine if that first "challenge" or whatever you wanna call it was with fathers and daughters!
Also Dane thinking they meant "sweets" as in candy bars was both hilarious and wholesome. Never change, Dane.
In his defense... if I hadn't read the comments that's what I would've thought lol
Yepp, they’d be locked up before it even aired
Feeling them up for a candy bar would be believable too, Dane 😂
This man knows how to attract the ladies...
No lie, I thought the same thing 😂
Glad I'm not the only one who thought it was for candy bars 😂
Haha... Was exactly what I was thinking
I seriously thought they meant SWEETS too
I'm fully waiting for Chris Hansen to walk out the ocean with a camera crew and local cops 🤣🤣🤣
Oh it’s at the finale 😊
oh my 😂😂
With a camera hidden under every leaf on the island.
That would be the only way to make this end as it should with jail time.
He puts down a beach towel, “Have a seat” 😂
I think that the mum who didn't stick up for her kid when they called him the ugly twin was nasty. I hope some of these old crows get a reality check.
Could've been heavily edited, knowing TLC tbh
Yes!!! They are all ok with other women treating their sons like objects. Predators 🤢🤢
Don't insult crows like that bro, they're really cool birds.
HEY! Crows don't deserve that!
I thought she was being sarcastic, so it’s funny. But I’m British so everything sounds sarcastic.
I think some women have the “my bf can’t play video games” thing because some men take it to the extreme and game all the time rather than be an equal partner and share household responsibilities. My bf likes to game for an hour or two after work every day and I have no problem with it since we both have tasks around the house that we do, like dishes and cooking. It can get exhausting if one partner is expected to take care of all the chores while the other gets to enjoy leisure activities
Haha yes exactly. Big difference between a hobby and an addiction. My ex-husband is addicted to gaming, a cheater, and a neglectful dad. He’d act like I was some kind of nagging b for pointing out the constant gaming when we were married. He wouldn’t even download games I liked so we could play together and he only had 1 controller😂. Now 5 years later.. my boyfriend and I play video games together and my son is included.
Sorry I know this isn't related to your comment... but if just like to say I love your screen name 🤩
I haven't listen to NSN in forever but at one point I had posters of him all over my walls in HS lol
@Parking_lot182 yup! It’s definitely a generational thing going on with these women. I personally love Skyrim, Assassin’s Creed, and the Bioshock series. Gaming is a leisure activity just like watching tv or reading a book
This may be a boomer take but my husband doesn't game and I love it! It's not about attention at all, more about how all his hobbies are productive. He either fixes things, makes things or helps other people in need.
Yes. I know someone that was literally paying bills 60/40 with her as 60 and she had just given birth. Her husband used to come home and just play video games instead of doing anything or helping with the baby. Until she yelled at him. Hard.

Considering that the brain doesn't fully develop until about 25 years old, Ken's Boomer take is on point.
I turn 22 soon and i defo do not feel grown 😅 so yeah I agree
Where did you get 25
I'm over 30 and I still haven't fully developed
To anybody wondering, the brain specifically doesn't finish developing until 25 for MEN specifically. Women's brains finish developing at 23. Edit: WOW, y’all arguing the facts are just IDIOTS 😅
I'll die being no developed
It isn't when you break it down, saying things like, "You don't know how to do your taxes yet," and stuff like that is just a great way to make young people even more uncomfortable to talk about these things. School should be teaching us since our parents are just assuming we would just know when we are an adult.
Plus, your facts are wrong, our brain is in a constant state of change from the time it first starts developing until the time you, or even I, die. Brain SIZE does not change much in your 20s unless there is some sort of traumatic injury or surgery.
What you may be referring to is the brain maturing. But, even then, people in their late 20s could still have a maturing brain. The last thing that matures is the frontal lobe and that's what a lot of people argue is the area of the brain that young adults struggle with the most.
But, the frontal lobe is not the only portion of the brain associated with planning, reward, motivation, etc. The frontal lobe, and more specifically the prefrontal cortex, is the area where (we assume) we process abstract thought. In other words, it's where we think a large portion of our imagination might reside, and where we process ideas and scenarios that we have not encountered yet. Things like planning and such are here as well.
That is what I think you may be referring to, but I'm not sure because brains are always developing in some manner, and his "aggression" (for lack of a better word) against young adults that are just trying to live life and be free to figure out what they know they're going to do in life is not beneficial to... anyone.
But, I do agree that spoiled people, like the ones in the show, are not going to be ready when life hits them.
This show is like a train wreck, you know you shouldn't look but you just can't help yourself
It's a bit like an IRL version of an American Pie movie or something.

@@justkay4849 I remember the REALLY old days when it was actually educational. It really did teach things at one point.
Ken saying "thank god I'm safe" is one of the funniest things I heard in my life
I can't. I can't watch this show even in jest. Every new "game" that comes up sends me into a deeper despair. The mother-son relationships must be SO so broken by the end of this and those poor kids are going to be so messed up mentally and emotionally. It's downright sickening.
Well to be fair their mental health already looks too broken
This show would be better if younger girls showed up and took the boys from the moms. I would love to see how pissed they get😂
Maybe halfway through they'll bring in the daughters too
Yes! Would be hilarious
Petition to get you writing for this show 😂
That would be so funny!
I was thinking this because there’s plenty of younger single moms nowadays and I think these boys should be with someone closer to their ages 😂
"Do you think god stays in heaven because he too is scared of what he has created?"
I feel like this can be applied to most TLC shows
Nice of him to drop the ball and shirk his responsibilities for the mess he made, lol.
@@GingerThereforeNoSoul Technically the first mistake was giving us free will because then even if God wanted to clean it up he can't because he'd have to take away free will. We need to just throw all these pedos in a hole where they can just be with other pedos and not be up here being creepy predators
TLC is simply trying to hasten the apocalypse lol!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@GingerThereforeNoSoul he went to the store to get some smokes...😂
I want *YOU* to keep watching this show so *I* don't have to. Thanks for your sacrifice Ken and Dane!
Ken, the gaming thing is exactly what you suggested - not enough attention. My partner went through a period of gaming almost 24/7 and it was an absolute no go for me, which is the same issue he had with me somewhat recently. There's nothing wrong with having hobbies, but I think it becomes an issue when you're actually not spending any time with your partner for extended periods of time.
hmmm, sounds like you and your partner do not want to give eachother space while not really enjoying spending time together..... maybe you two should reeavluate your relationship
@@stefanforrer2573 maybe you should reevaluate your ability to criticize a relationship between two people you know nothing about, mate.
@@_Kayla_ that defensive comment sounded very insecure Kayla, calm down
@@Metakova if I had been insecure I wouldn't have commented in the first place bud. There's also nothing "defensive" about telling someone they're kinda dumb for trying to make a judgement about people from a comment about video games.
My freshman year of hs, I scared the shit out of my English teacher because I started to say “Age is just a number” and he stopped me like ‘child NO’. Then I dropped “and jail is just a room.” It made him laugh reasonably hard
*Things that never happened for $200*
@@candiebe3193 We were reading Romeo and Juiliet, and I made a relevant joke so frequently repeated it’s a dad joke? L deduction skills buddy
just imagine it was 40-60 year old dads with their 18-22 year old daughters... wtf ...
Or sons
There would probably be worldwide protest and outrage.
Exactly what I was thinking! Disgusting either way ~ but I love Ken & Buff so I watched
Exactly. It's gross either way
No , then its pedophilia - but I wouldn’t be suprised if that is soon labeled as a “mental health condition” or in some way normalized ….SMH
It truly is the learning channel… it’s just taught me how to cringe straight out of my skin!
What has happened to American women!?
@@marknewton6984 we’re cringing out of our skin from shows like these 🤢🤮
Honestly, this show is wild 😂
imagine if the roles were reversed and a ton of dads were just swapping daughters and for the challenge had to feel all the girls chest and try to figure which one was their daughter 🤮
The casting ad for DILF manor got posted on the subreddit for MILFmanor a couple of days ago. 🤑
equally gross , but twitter would get cancel that programn at the second episode cause "only wemen can be victims of sexualization🤓🤓" . i hate the people who thinks this is fine
It's called daughter swap😂
Exactly
While I think this show is cringey, I don't think women's chests and men's chests can be treated equally. Women's breasts are considered private parts men's chests aren't. Women would be arrested if they were all standing out in public with their tops off. I do agree this show would never be made if the genders were reversed.
The moment they saw their sons and moms on this show, should’ve been the moment they both realize that they have problems…
Like hey, I’m into dating people as young as my own son! And son’s thinking, why am I into dating women as old as my mom? The fact that they can’t see the OBVIOUS problem in both of their dating lives right in front of their face, astonishes me. That reveal should’ve been the end of the show. Right there. Like it should’ve been a big aha moment, instead of now, I’m gonna date your mom, and moms date their friends sons. Second episode should’ve been a therapy session.
I dated someone for years who was obsessed with video games to an unhealthy level. The fact that other things in life were not prioritized as they should have been was the issue for me, not that he liked video games.
Thanks, Scott, for the many years of entertainment, and for dealing with all the cringe, from meme couch to milf manor!
The whole step-family trope in the industry has always been creepy to me. Hell, I even find the relationship that Allison and Luther had in The Umbrella Academy creepy. And then there's people that argue that they're (Allison and Luther) not blood related, so it's okay. They are adopted siblings that grew up in the same household from when they were babies! It's creepy and disgusting! Okay, I'm getting off my soap box now.
They were raised together with a bunch of other kids like a weird orphanage, they were raised to see each other as teammates not family. The show is trying to show them reconnecting as a family unit now as adults. I don't like the relationship either but it's part of how messed up their family unit is, after all one of them was also married twice.
Welcome to the world of anime lmao
So I am a “step” mom of a 27yr old man & I didn’t become his “step”mom until he was an 11yr old boy. I would NEVER!!! This is horrible and truly disgusting. Btw, I do this to the word “step” because I don’t see our relationship like that. I see him as my son.
@@nerdycurls6253Sure, that’s why they called each other siblings. Even before they all started to get close. Whatever you all need to tell yourself.
@@shayla106 did you miss the part where I said I disliked the relationship aswell? I was only explaining how it at least makes sense story wise, abused/neglected children will develop unhealthy feelings towards their family in some cases.
Legally, you can’t put someone on a show like this without telling them all the facts first. So they all knew what they were walking into. If one of the guys were to get jealous because someone was talking to their mom and they got violent with that guy that would be on the producers for creating that environment. So beforehand to cover their own asses they would have everyone sign consent forms, saying that they completely understand what the show is about and have complete transparency
When he said "age is just a number and jail is just a box" made me laugh pretty hard. 😂😂
I got to the paddleboard airplane thing and the thing about she remiscising about doing that with her son, I cringed so hard I literally started tearing up. And I don't mean from laughter. I read somewhere that crying come from an overwhelming emotion. I have never been this overwhelmed by cringe before. This is a new experience and I would prefer not to have it.
I would love to see the Dads watching this seeing their ex wife's and son's doing this lol
I can picture it, all be standing in the same room. Watching a screen on a wall, arms crossed, scratching hairy forearms while making dad jokes about each other.
They divorced for a reason. I wouldn’t want to be married to the type to go on shows like this.
Ooooooh!!!
The whole shirtless thing,I’d pray my son had a scar on his shoulder or something I can identify.I have three scars.1from surgery as a kid,one from cutting my finger on an apple peal and the third from cutting my ankle while shaving. It was quite a bloody mess. Wonder if anyone was doing that
Well, ones not an ex because he was still married to one of the women. He had died a long time ago and is mentioned I one of 3 of these episodes.
I just got done crying from the pewdiepie news so this is a great back to “the world is wild” video 😂
I had to google search. They're having a baby!!!! :D

New show: Ace's Wild
Sameeee I want to go on a show like to to create chaos and just be the life of the party
They should start throwing like 2 extremely conventionally attractive ace people into these shows, just to watch the people trying to date them squirm
New goal.
My theory regarding why the step family type stuff was always prominent on the hub so to speak, was that it's a taboo/ forbidden thing, which increases the appeal. (People are attracted to doing the things they shouldn't etc) Similar to how forbidden romances are a popular subgenre. That just increases the effectiveness of the "excitement".
That's what I thought too
I think the necklace is the microphone. There are some shots where you can see a wire running up their backs

Bro, I tried watching this show in full and I'm here to tell you ONLY Ken and Buff's commentary makes it even semi bearable.
@@charliemalick8985 imagine how I felt watching the actual show 🤣🤣 it is about ten thousand times worse than you could possibly imagine 🤣
They are the only reason I even know this sh*t exists or that I would ever watch something like this! 🥲🔫💨
That’s why I’m here, I can’t watch this on my own..sweet jeebus
Here I am a year later waiting on them to commentate on Season 2
I read an article once about how adult videos are affecting younger generations for the worse. Basically younger generations have so much p**n available to them that they feel it is just normal. like it is normal to film yourself and do money shots and stuff like that.
The article also said that because people are so desensitized to adult films, people are looking for more risque and extreme genres. That's why the Step Mom, Step Sister genre is so popular now. It taps into a more taboo and forbidden nature. It is basically a feeling of "I know this is wrong and i will never do it but the forbidden taboo of it makes it hot"
I mean there are some sick people who are totally into banging their family and see nothing wrong with it. I think the majority of people who watch the "Step" genre , watch for the thrill of the taboo nature and not so much for the actual family aspect.
The genres will keep getting more extreme until it gets to a point where everyone says "you know what, we need to put a stop to these kinds of adult films."
What’s weird is how the moms and sons (for the most part) accept each other’s dating preferences…I wonder which happened first. Like did the son hook up with a older woman and that got the mom thinking there’s all these young guys looking for older women, or did the mom hook up with a young guy and the son got the idea from him. It’s just odd that both of them would have this desire to date someone the same age as there parent and child
My girlfriend wrote about this ‘adult entertainment’ trend. They call it ‘faux-cest’ & like Ken indicated, it’s the dominant new genre in porn. It was very odd watching a bunch of that content with her in the ‘research’ for her article. It became pretty comical after a while😂
I wouldn’t want to write that article lol
That’s pretty awkward 😅
Sounds like she just wanted to watch a bunch of fake incest pron with you
No one wants to watches it, but at the same time it's hard not to. 😂 there for the cringe and tea
It isn't comical when it's real life for a lot of people and their trauma.
1. I hope the sons realize how weird this show is and stage an uprising to get the show canceled and 2. If, IF for SOME REASON all of this works out, all of these people will be related through marriage (assuming they get that far) and they’d be step-brother-dads to each other…
They are airing the show filming has been done for months prob
As an English teacher on a non English speaker country, that "sweets - suites" moment got me! I got ya Buff. XD
"They're talking bout' their rooms, Buff. Suites, not sweets."
To be fair, the subtitles said sweet and I never second guessed it either.
“He doesn’t see age he sees feet” HOLLERING 😂😂😂😂
Please keep covering this. My discovery+ free trial expired and this show is so demented, I need it in my life 😂😂😂
Ken: Everyone goes on the hub
Asexuals: I’d rather do my taxes Ken
Was looking for a comment like this!
People forget not everyone is into the stuff
*me who finds porn cringey and incredibly insensitive to my partner*🤢
Also most porn is shot through the male gaze and isn't interesting for people who don't like the fake stuff or the overly bad acting. I know a lot of people who lean towards erotica as well.
Lol me as an aroace
I’d say that one dude who’s into feet has to be the least surprising thing on this show unfortunately 😭
I don't think I would watch this show to save my life ... Outside of watching these two make fun of it!! 😂😂 I love it. Y'all make my day with your videos.
Most people, from my understanding, that watch the "step" stuff don't actually have any sort of fantasy for people that are family to them. I know for the stepmom and stepdad stuff that it's more of a power dynamic thing that people like. As for the step sis or step bro stuff, because that usually involves like the whole "getting stuck" scenario, I still think it's, again, to do with a power dynamic sort of fantasy. Of course, there are always the weirdos that actually want to do things with family, but for most people that watch it, it tends to just be a power dynamic scenario that the people are ACTUALLY into and fantasize about.
My response to “those people” would be to find other videos that have that same power dynamic without watching literal incest . Whether you like it or not, when you watch that you become desensitized to how messed up it is.
Ah yes, coffee and milfs. The sunday morning itinerary for adults lmao
Omg 😂😂😂😂
man id love some milf with this coffee
Also they say 8 women, but there’s only ever 7 in the promo . So I think April and Ricky didn’t want to continue so they came up with the “elimination” so they could go home. They also never really talk to anyone. Lol I think they were suuuuuper weirded out.
Ken and Dane and Scott, *thank you* . 🙇🏻
You are heroes, you saved us from immense cringing.
Thanks Scott for editing! You probably threw out the worst of it so we don't throw up (as much).
This is why aliens won’t visit us.
I have an ex who is into gaming, or was when I dated him. It wasn't a problem for me until it was literally all he did when he wasn't working. He would come home & without even saying hi to me, would turn off the show I was watching to game. He would also ignore our child, like one time I was really sick & our son was begging his Dad to change his diaper & he kept saying "in a min"...this went on for too long so I changed him. His gaming ruined our relationship cuz who wants to be with someone who ignores your existence every day?
He proceeded to do the same thing with his next relationship, who he married. I made an effort to get along with her & eventually she started bitching to me about him, lol. He was doing the same thing...gaming after work til he went to bed & ignoring his wife & their kids, & she let it slip that on the wkends my son was there he was gaming instead of spending time w/ his child. My son hasn't spoken to his Dad in 10 yrs, due to his Dad ignoring him & never making an effort with him, acting like seeing him twice a month was enough...which obviously wasn't enough for my kid.
My ex is on his 3rd family. I hope he's learned. He's been with this one longer than he was with me or his 1st wife. I don't know cuz my kid cut off contact so I have no reason to speak to his Dad.
Having interests / hobbies is fine, but when those interests start to negatively impact your relationship, say for example, too much money is being spent on the hobby & your wife has to ask her sister to buy groceries to feed the stepkids (true story, I'm the sister) more than once maybe the interest needs to be set aside for awhile. Or when said interest starts taking over the house making it unusable (again my bro-in-law). Or when the interest means your partner doesn't have the time, energy, or money to have their own interest cuz their busy working, cleaning, taking care of kids & trying to pay bills & put food on the table by themselves. There has to be a balance between the relationship and the interest.
I 💯 Agree! So sorry to hear your story and how you and your child had to go through this. I hope a new , more positive, chapter will open for you both 💖
@@lorenagonzalez515 Thank you. He and I broke up 23 yrs ago. My life is much happier without him.
I think it would be worse if they were feeling up their kid to see which guy they want because that would mean they were sexualizing the touch that’s going towards their child. If they’re just trying to figure out which one is their kid then it’s more of an investigative touch instead of sexualized contact. I mean unless the moms go crazy with the way they’re feeling on these “BOYS”. But they would have to know that one of them is going to be their son so it would be stupid to do that. I need to just watch this part and try not to throw up 🤢🤮
You'd think, but the mom's just went ahead and sexualized the men anyways.
Ma'am, straight to jail lmao no!! This show is an incestuous monstrosity 😂
Ma’am, are you from Alabama?!?😂😂😂😂😂
Imagine, somehow, someway the next episode gets worse.... Spoiler alert, it gets much worse.
The entire concept is just wrong though. Their sons are GROWN men, and the idea that a mom would be able to recognize her son by feeling him up would indicate that it's something that's happened before. I don't believe any parent should know how their adult child's body feels.
I agree with your sentiments about not being fully grown until mid 20s or so. Even then, I felt like I didn't have a good sense of myself until I hit my 30s.
Watching Ken videos on your birthday and getting wished a happy birthday is always nice :)
TOTALLY AGREE with you guys about relationships. My husband is a huge car guy and I'm obsessed with animals and nature haha. We embrace each other's passions and include one another in them. And to be honest life is good❤❤❤ Mutual love and respect!
As a young woman, trying to imagine the opposite... it's pretty nauseating. I would not want my dad trying to identify me by touch while knowing he views all the other women my age in a potentially sexual manner. Fukcing disgusting.
It's like a college dorm and their moms broke in - it truly is DISTURBING.... everyone should just have stayed home, away from eachother, alone in their rooms, on the hub, in private 😅😑 I could never have watched this on my own, hahah
Ok I have to take a moment to appreciate the fact that the borders on the videos have been edited to match Kens shirts!!!🤩
It’s funny how this is classified as “reality tv”😂
It's not a boomer take Ken. The Pre-frontal cortex, the seat of executive function, doesn't fully develop until your 25. So there is biological evidence that we don't truly become fully matured adults until our midtwenties.
Gabriel's mom's face looks so bizarre. I assume she's had buccal fat removal but it also looks like she got cheek filler? She looks like a caricature of herself.
I read that as brutal face removal lol
@@_Dark222Angel_ she has no face 😂
It's crazy she got buccal fat removal at that age too. Drs have been warning younger people, that it will make u look older when u age! & it wasn't trendy until recently so i bet she got it recently. When she's 60 she will look freaking 95. Its def not doing her good already
I doubt she got it done. she's thin. she probably just lost fat in her face due to aging. These women all look fine and people are judging the wrong thing! lol its their mental state we judge for participating in the show.
Ken: Let me know if you wanna watch more?
Me: No, No I don't... ALONE. But with you guys YES. LOL. Please continue the cringe fest in a slightly digestible format.
I think they made this show to show these women they’re dating their ‘sons’ by dating such young men. And how it feels when other older women date YOUR son.
But they’re all so delusional that they don’t get that they just wanna bang people 1/2 their age😂
@K Jay I mean, not really a meaning to it. In the video before this one, Ken said: who would think about this.. let’s make a show with milfs … what were they thinking.
It’s all about the money off cause.
@@maggielaw6320 yeah children.
As a Car guy and a Gamer, I completely agree with you guys, My fiance does get sick of heading to race days, my dad and I working on our cars and me gaming until early hours in the morning, but she also understands that that's just who I am and accepts it. She knows that if needs something or wants to do something that I'll drop what I'm doing. I do try to include her, but she gets bored eventually. We made a rule that there's no gaming on Weekends so that we can spend time together and car work is kept to a minimum too
I'm a 38yr old mother with a 17yr old son (I also have 3 daughters) and the thought of even being with a 25yr old makes me physically ill! I'm sorry but it's just gross! Those are KIDS, yes, I get that they're legal age, but my Lord, a 21yr old is a KID!
I never cried from disgust, shock, and disappointment from reality tv until I watched it
Honestly pretty awful I agree.
You know it's bad when you start to miss Ed🤣
It really is the definition of a train wreck,
Just can't look away. I can only take through Ken and Buffs commentary
OMG THE SWEETS!! 🤣😂

Milf island is disgusting and made in poor taste
I've seen the darkest shock horror and things like where people unalive themselves and the bodies are not found after years. I've watched surgery that removes living worms from the brain. I can eat my lasagna through that.
This is the first thing that ever grossed me out

Thank you Ken and Dane for the longer videos recently! Feels less rushed and just more chill and I'm loving it. Sorry Scott 😆
Thanks Scott for watching through these videos over and over again to deliver the top-notch editing you've been giving through the years!!
That's what I was thinking. Scott deserves a vacation after having to edit this train wreck called MILF Manor 😂 Scott, I'm sending you a virtual hug ❤
The commentary and takes by Ken and Dane make this show a bit more bearable. And yet, they bring in some really good points that make you question how this show is even continuing.
Y’all are the best. ❤
"I JUST WANNA SUCK THE ACRYLIC OFF THEM TOES" bruh I almost choked to death on my water when that man said that. I'm ded🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I like how the bar that divides Ken and Buff is animated now. Very nice touch, thank you
To answer ken's question about video games, I've dated guys who spend literally all day playing video games, not wanting to do ANYTHING else. Playing until 4am, being loud and keeping me up. One boyfriend wouldn't even help me when I was sick because he was too busy in the other room playing melee.
I went through a similar experience with that... My ex worked came home went straight to playing online with his friends never said hi to me or his daughter and wouldn't even help take care of her or even sirens family time with me and her...I ask him anything and he gets mad... So I just avoid those types of people to avoid drama and toxicity.
her being outraged that her son might be with that lady, while flirting with someone else's son....
Insurance took Ken’s boomer take to heart. Also, congratulations on becoming an uncle to baby pewdiepie!
Since he's in Australia now he could actually visit 😂
I’d love to see more episodes of this ! It’s so cringe but just hilarious to watch lol , thank you Scott :)
When you said “feeling up” the whole time I thought you were saying “filling up” 😭
I need you guys to keep watching this, because it's a train wreck. I want to know what happens, but I also need the filter of Ken and Dane because I can't watch this without them. 😂
Jimmy running around after being felt up by Mama Barbie is giving me Jerry Springer vibes.
Or Maury "You are NOT the father!" vibes.
Me serving my country at 18 when ken says “ your not grown until your 26” ok lol😂
25:07 - 25:29 the way Ken pauses a lot during his speech and therefore causes the weird high-pitched whirring in the background to stop-and-start reminds me of the instrumentation in Cabin Fever! by The Bad Seeds.
Thank you Scott, amazing editing as usual and we appreciate all your hard work!
Funny that you said 26. I turned 26 in November and I am so far from independent. I'm at the high end of the spectrum with ADHD, so I only just graduated in May. Two gap years at separate points. There were times my family suggested they just buy me an apartment and pay for my expenses for the rest of my life. The fact that I come from a well off family and have always been pampered probably hasn't helped my development. Don't know anything about taxes, salary, benefits, insurance, etc. My parents do everything from me. I'm so scared of being independent and wonder if I ever will be. Thinking back to those times we weren't sure if I could ever be a functioning member of society or if I'd just have to be provided for for the rest of my life. I don't know how long I'll be living with them, and I'm really lucky to come from such a fortunate family, given how much help I need. But I guess we all develop at our own paces. Maybe one day I'll be grown lol
I turned 26 in November too! ✌🏽😋 And I honestly got independent by jumping off the deep end with no floaties and no swimming skills whatsoever 😂 I just went about it figuring out what I use that I pay for (Spotify, electricity, water, rent, car) and who /how I have to paythem (online which most are these days or if there's a paper bill that comes in the mail) and just knowing when that bill is due. Taxes is a bit tricker honestly, I was able to do my first couple of years by myself but now I think I'll just start having a professional do them 😅it really is stressful! Don't beat yourself up too much, baby steps are still steps ! Maybe start by trying taking over an easy bill like a subscription or cellphone bill ?
I can relate. I'm in my mid 30s and I've only recently came to understand why I've never been able to fully cut that umbilical cord. There's a lot of trauma, depression and anxiety involved in my case and I feel like I missed out on a lot of growth, self exploration and development in my 20s.
It might feel like you have to conquer a mountain but you can only do that by taking that first step, so cut that mountain into tiny pieces and focus on those (Just like Lorena says in her comment above). Even the most experienced mountaineers never climb mountains in one go. They climb one portion of it, acclimatize to the altitude and come back down so they can reach a little higher on the next try. And even if you never reach the top that is totally fine. You will learn and grow a ton from even just giving it a go. And you might just discover you don't even want to climb mountains and want to go scuba diving instead ;)
I would suggest that if you want to become more self sufficient you make that wish clear to your parents. It sounds like they care a great deal about you so I'm sure they are willing to help you reach those goals. But I know from experience they just might not now how to do that. Keeping that umbilical cord intact is not something you do on your own so it might be just as difficult for them as it is for yourself. Talking about these things often is that very first step.
And remember that there is no shame in getting help. You could let your parents help you in becoming independent. For example, tell your parents that, instead of doing taxes for you, to teach you how to do them so that, over time, you can do them on your own. And of course professional help is always a good idea.
And look at it from the bright side, you are 26 so you still have plenty of time to figure it out. And then take a look at the women on this TLC show. They are in their 50s and appear to be totally lost in life. Judging from your comment you seem more mature than a lot of them, seriously.
I wish you all the best in your journey.
I also turned 26 in november hahah and i also have ADHD! I have never had parental support though, being a child who aged out of foster care(mom dead, dad druggie). I say, continue to be grateful for your parents help, it really is a blessing. And make some goals for yourself!!!! Buy a beautiful journal you'll enjoy opening, think of something small you want to accomplish by yourself (pick up groceries, pay a bill, set up an appointment), plan it out by writing it down, all the steps you need to take (labeling steps and checking them off help with my ADHD) and do that goal! You are capable! You are strong! Honestly, one step at a time, but keep taking steps. Plan them out one at a time and they'll get easier!
Another big point is that people who play videogames typically game at night, when most couples are together. Especially if you dont live together and work during the day, you kind of have to pick between your romantic interest and your electronic interest. I game for 4-9 hours at a time, so I could see how that would be frustrating for the other person.
Mine is on it all day and night… he sits there on his computer all day and night well I’m in the same room but it’s like I’m not even there either way. Never even wants to do anything but be on his computer.
@@aurialirez 😞 I went thru the same thing ! Unfortunately got to the point where it felt like we were roommates and not even partners. After so many times I communicated these feelings , I realized I just wasnt as high a priority to him as he would say I was. I stopped believing his words and I saw no action, and so I just chose me first✌🏽
This is 100% creepy man. However I can’t help but think how creepy it would be if Dads and Daughters were doing this. Like the whole show is just eww. These boys need therapy for sure. The moms too I guess. 😂❤
"He doesn't have shoulders, he has slopes you can ski off of them" I lost it! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I've learned more from your videos than from the American Public School system
*The "FASHIONABLE NECKLACE" is the Mic Ken!! Jesus!!* 😂😂
im 28 and honestly i agree w you about the not being fully grown till ur late 20s lol. i finally actually feel like an adult, and i mean, i still need more time still haha, but i dont necessarily believe that ppl that had harder childhoods grow up faster. While that may be true in survival mode at the time during childhood, trauma can lead to substance abuse which can really set ppl back with growing up and being a full functioning adult. not that them being pampered is a good or bad thing, but I think the person with less trauma will be able to psychologically be in a better position to get a job and be able to have a family of their own or do whatever they want in life. it is a form of privilege in my opinion. but also at the same time, good things in life require work. and whether you have trauma or not, it still takes work to be a good person/functioning stable adult.
Took a break from socials and youtube, came back and see KENS HAIR IS FLOWIN!
Love it
I'd love for this show to stay apart of your rotation for sure, love the reactions, also THANK YOU SCOTT!
When I was in my 20’s I moved to the city, I couldn’t get away fast enough. Now in my 30’s I live and pay rent for the apartment attached to my parents house. I just started my first career this year. I can’t imagine leaving again. I thought in my 20’s I’d like move to California or japan or whatever and have a cool career. Now I’m so happy to finally have an office job, alone most of the day, entering data. Seeing my family every day. Living in my small town, in the country. It’s heaven. I also didn’t know in my 20’s that I have severe anxiety and I’m going through getting diagnosed with autism. I didn’t know there were reasons for my struggles. I knew nothing in my 20’s. I feel like I’m just starting to figure life out a little. I feel like it’ll only get better.
