I don’t think anybody will hold it against you. If you decide the trailer shouldn’t be a part of your life anymore.
Parenting is hard. Renovating a trailer is a challenge. Just existing can be a struggle. You're trying to accomplish all of that and film it to post online! You need a bit of a load reduction, so you've made the right choice to make breathing room. ❤
Thank you! The balance is what we’re working towards 🥰🙏🏼
One challenge leads to another
Hi, thanks for sharing your struggles. I remember feeling like that when our kid was little.
Is the trailer really worth all the struggles? I know it's a beauty but have you considered selling it and starting over with a more healthy one?
Money and a strong will are probably good reasons to go through all the struggles but on the other hand, it's just money and stress and missing the kid are sometimes even more stress...
sorry if I step on your toes, just thought you might be in a trailer-spiral...
All the luck and love from Germany
You don’t need to make a big dramatic decision re the trailer.
If you want to carry on just park it for a bit until Frankie is a bit bigger. No rush x
This first year of parenting always seemed to me that as soon as I figured out our daily routine, the baby would grow and need a new one! It will get better. As Frankie grows, his routine/schedule will work for longer. You guys will figure out how & when to prioritize couple time over family time. And you don’t have to have all the answers right now. Just a little reminder with love that you got this! And you are killing it! ❤😊
Thanks for this comment! 🥹🙏🏼🥰
You’re welcome!😊
Sunk costs. Is it worth it? If the trailer keeps you apart and you’re not helping each other ??.
I dont know if this is something anyone has mentioned, but we took sleep shifts. I would feed the baby at say, 7pm and then sleep. My husband stayed awake and did the 10pm feed. I did the 1 or 2am one and then he did the 5/6am one as the baby slept longer stretches. that way we each got at least 6 hours, which honestly, felt like a godsend. It's hard - don't feel compelled to do trailer things on our account. We are here with you throughout this journey. Just making it through the day is a huge deal when a baby is that small.
19:48 - 20:10 is the most stereotypical Canadian accent I've ever heard Levi have. It was super charming and wholesome sounding!
If you have a towing service you pay a yearly membership to like here in the states(AAA), maybe have it towed on a flatbed with a towing service to your Dad's shop. Of course, only at 9:09 on this video so far. Hope better news for you comes before end of video. Tooting(lol)! I mean Rooting for you kids! Good luck!
An I offer a suggestion.? Forget the idea of ‘balance’. It doesn’t exist. Sometimes family needs to be the priority, other times work, and then self care, and whatever else is important to you. I think this eutopic idea of balance causes us undue distress
, but the reality is, for peace of mind, we have to prioritize what’s most important at the time, for what length of time. Sounds like Frankie and your relationship is what’s important right now - and the rest can wait. (Yes, I realize you make money by doing this) - but even that can be adjusted too 😉. Take care of you - the rest will still be there later. Progress, not perfection!
Babies change from day to day at this stage....is this really worth it for this period in time. Just go as a family for the week. Believe me, being together as a family is the most important thing. I think I have told you my husband passed away from cancer at 43 yrs young when our son was 4 yrs old. Please stay together, hope you can find a way not to be gone for a week at a time by yourself, Levi. Hoping and wishing for all to be right. 😊😢❤
Trailer restoration is always a big project and often its not worth spending tons of resources
I think we knew the project wasn’t going to be a money maker when we started haha. The purpose of the trailer is to learn and develop skills and connect with my parents (and eventually have a cool rig).
@@LeahandLevithose are all super cool reasons! Skills, connecting with parents. Love it! ❤
You will make it through when it comes time to travel for the trailer. I made it through with our son when my husband was fishing for a living. Look up longliiner fishing on the east coast. He would be gone anywhere from 15-21 days, and home 2 days before gone again. You got this momma and pappa!
At this point I started feeling bad for your Dad. As previous commenter said, no-one will hold it against you if you decide the trailer shouldn't be be a part of your life anymore.
Are you throwing good money after bad??
Is pride preventing you from admitting you made a bad decision?
Is it time to cut your losses and focus more on your new family and buy a more appropriate vehicle when you’re ready to roll.
Wisdom is knowing when to say goodbye to something in your life that’s holding you back from moving forward.
There are seasons where some things just need pushed to the side. I'm so thrilled that y'all have such a strong, supporting, and loving group of people being you and I am sure they're proud of you for thinking about your wellness. ❤
You may want to disable your GPS coordinates for published videos.
Shows how sleep deprived I am, didn’t even notice that was on there 🫠
Love seeing you guys always a pleasure to see your content, watching you navigate parenting, trailer challenges and figuring out life. Keep doing you and thank you for sharing ❤ take care
As you're pulling the plastic off the trailer in the early morning, all I can think about is the scent of the air around you. Piney, humid, Pacific west coast air. You should find a way to market it to your viewers so we can inhale along.
Smell-o-vision is the technology we need. 🥸
That makes sense for working on the trailer, but know it will be hard to be apart! Will b thinking of you as you work on this adjustment and glad that you will have family support in both places!
Just some thoughts I had after specifically watching this video, but It's just great to see you guys doing well honestly.
Sometimes money can relief stress, and you can totally notice how relaxed Levi was while recording during backing in. I can totally see you guys getting the 3 camera setup. One on the trailer and one in the cabin for a slightly less wide angle shot.
As for the trailer, it will probably be put on a back burner. Don't have to make excuses for that.
Thanks for the comment! It's a great tool for our needs, and we appreciate your works for support ❤️
Oh man, this made me laugh with you two a the beginning. So cute! 😆🤣💕 The simple things in life are so wonderful.
Sometimes you just gotta laugh 😅🤷🏻♂️
A bit of a pro hack for dash cameras: set the time to coordinated universal time (UTC). This solves several problems. The first UTC is the same time all around the world, so it's easy-ish to convert it to local time, which is useful when you want to document document when something happens. It also means you don't have to think about the time when you cross time zones, because UTC is always just UTC. The final thing is UTC does not observe Daylight Saving Time, so you never have to adjust it because you went somewhere that does/doesn't observe DST. You will still need to adjust the time periodically to account for time drift, but that's something cannot avoid given most dash cameras don't use atomic clocks that keep super accurate time. We could get into how atomic clocks tend to keep time a little too well, but that's a conversation for another time (pun unintended). 😅
Thanks for the tip Brian! 👍🏼
He's going to be an early talker. Both my sons were like that trying to talk over me and their dad. They started talking around 7 months. Like full words. My oldest said papa first then okay, lights, turn on, turn off....etc.
Well if he’s anything like his father…
You guys need to get in touch with reality.
Yeah, no doubt. Between video production, parenting and doing work on trailer you must be very busy.
The Ace Ventura “like a glove” is my favorite part of this whole video
Glad someone appreciates 🥹🥰
Moms do have to watch what they eat that could give baby "gas". Check your diet, make a food diary to see what may be giving Frankie "gas" everytime he breastfeeds. 😊❤
you guys are superheros! I imagine learning to be parents is hard enough and any progress you're making on the trailer is amazing! Frankie is adorable btw 😍
It's only been 8 or so weeks, give the trailer a break and pick it up later. Now that you say it's going to your parents place, I bet they get the whole carcus fitted out for you so all you have to do is the fun part, decorating!
The little one he can sense when the cameras are on lol 😂💜... great watch as always 👊🏿. And makes sense to have it at the workshop. Coz you can still just work on it whenever need be without having it looming constantly everyday. I think i even laughed about it in a previous comment that for now life is gonna life so the priorities need not be rushed. Everything will slowly fall into place im sure 🙏🏿
Frankie’s hilarious!
So, your dad will have it done, as an Xmas present & he seems to enjoy projects… 💜
Haha definitely not a christmas present but he does enjoy a challenge that's for sure 😂
You guys are a beautiful couple - love seeing how much you care for each other - and the new human.
Look in the trucks user manuel?
I don't think anyone is ever truly prepared for how much their lives will change after having their first child. And it never changes back but it is sooo worth it!
Life changes drastically with those silly kids. Priorities often do too. Par for the course. Just hang in there and keep making the best decisions you can, knowing what you know today. It all gets worked out.
Thanks for this! We're working on it!
We are so proud of you for the difficult choices you’ve had to make & how you demonstrate how well partnership and support can work! You’ve made some pretty fortuitous decisions to create your current livelihood & family situation with such extra-ordinary care & consideration that are models for many young couples! Keep up the great efforts!
After watching the whole video.. get rid of the white elephant. Your cred is slipping with this string of escalating bad decisions.
To think you can “carry on” and do your own thing when you have a baby is kind of a delusion . People who say they don’t change their life for their child is lying ! Children do change your life and are your first priority !!! Trailer Shmailer … it’s not a big deal. Enjoy him while he’s small because it goes by soo fast & a blur .
New parents lol. 🙄 I’m surprised the trailer is still a thing.
what a mess! Just prioritise.
Frankie is so adorable. You guys are doing so amazing, just remember that! Everyone has limits. Frankie is continuously growing and changing each month, and you will be growing with and adapting your parenting for his ever changing needs. That in itself is so much! Definitely give yourselves breaks from your obligations with the trailer and work as much as you can. They do say it takes a Village to raise a child, and that is so true! So lean on your support as much as you can. My child is 5 and we are blessed to have both grandmothers and a great nan local to us, and it really makes such a difference. It will get slowly easier, but honestly every age has its struggles (the tantrums of a toddler being one of the worsts from my parent experience so far 😂) and the most stressed/pressure on my relationship with my husband ever! But, so far, we are doing alright, definitely a thousand ups and downs though all relating to parenting. In the end, it’s worth it for the funny toots! 😂❤much love to all of you, thanks for sharing your experience
Also your parents will love the extra visits from Frankie I’m sure ❤
Yeah they’re pretty excited to have us there more (the trailer is just an excuse at this point)
@@LeahandLevi and they can watch frankie so you and Leah can have team Levi-Leah time working on the trailer :)
Like a glove 😂😂😂😂
Frankie is rocking the Captain Picard hair. 😂
The day before my paid family leave time ended and I had to go back to work while my wife and daughter stayed home was pretty bad. I cried because I didn’t want our time together as a bonding adoptive family to end. (This was the first year family leave was available in NY state, and it was only 2 months at 55% pay, it’s since expanded to 3 months at 68% pay.)
Hahaha yeah Picard for sure 😅 thanks for sharing your experience. It seems like nobody gets it easy with parenting. It’s different challenges everyday but it’s rewarding too. ❤️
The first 6 months is hard to have one and one time, but it's just a season and you are doing awesome! Me and my partner everytime we were feeling desconnected we talked about our future when our daughter is an adult, we will have a lot of time just us to date again and have a new experience dating when older and falling in love in new ways. Don't get me wrong we still try and now we can, that she is two, we still make time for one another but talking about the future like that takes a lot of pressure out of the present. This is just what worked for us but you guys do what is best for your family and couple relationship
This was lovely. I totally agree, sometimes what is in the moment isn't exactly what you want and so the reality of a new and different future is reassuring. 🥹❤️
💯🤔 Albuquerque New Mexico in the house🎉 thanks for the reminder not to complain about 50 and 60 ° temperatures here😂😂
I can't imagine being new parents, running a channel and renovating a trailer. You guys are smashing it
This channel is becoming insufferable with the constant 'wow we're so clueless but yet so highly educated '
Ahh babies. I forgot how they drop their guts whenever they please! 😂
Did the end get chopped off?
Back to the Prius 😂
❤
‘Farts When Eats’ would make a fun nickname 🤭🤭🤭
Why do you have to even struggle? You both have a place and well to do parents. I think that you struggle because you see this channel as work, and the trailer is part of all of this. But then you have a new baby and he needs to be in one place at least for now, and it is becoming a paradox. Yes the baby would like to give his views as well if he could? Let the baby grow and you both focus on the new life and the new lifestyle.
Hopefully guys could answer this to bring back Leah’s podcast but how are you guys incorporating new + different partners into your relationship while parenting?
it's only gonna get worse from here
Can we just rename the channel “The White Privilege Chronicles” lamo this is wild y’all
Yes this is so funny! Two young college educated people living at home with mom and dad, not really working full time jobs, while raising a child complaining about how terrible they have it. I watch for the humor of it all.
Have you edited videos before? It takes a lot of time. This doesn’t include sorting out the hours of footage they have. Something needs to be said, but did you know companies hire video editors because they’re actual professions?
Also, do you know Levi has another UA-cam channel with a team of people working on videos? Please don’t be one of those people who invalidates people not having conventional 9-5 jobs by saying they’re not legitimate jobs.
Bring back preus and make a 4th.lol
You may decide a 5 gallon bucket will work fine. Use animal bedding and heavy trash bags. Easy to dispose of.
Hey, tooting while you chew just saves time later ….
Millennials having babies…
What happened to the condo?? Didn’t you spend your life savings on it. Why can’t you go back there?
Have a little whine with that trailer. Parenting is not going to get easier, every stage of a child’s growth comes with new challenges. It's not all about you two anymore, Frankie is and should be center stage. You all have it much easier than most new parents… no 9 to 5 jobs in an office everyday, you live with your parents so no household responsibilities, you live in Canada so don’t have to be concerned about having a real job for health insurance. Get over yourselves and focus on Frankie.
Levi, did you mean to put your whole license plate online? Just concerned for your privacy a bit
Does anyone have a job or do you live off all the freebees and donations?
