Audrey, I don't know if you'll ever read this, but I'm saying this as kindly as possible: You're so quick to judge Jeremy's family. It's like you only see all the bad things within Jeremy's fam. Just so so sad! THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS NOW... I am a old listener (since BTS podcast) and it was the very same thing back then. We mothers are doing the best we can with the tools we have and someday our children will judge us for things we thought were just the right to do... that's life and it's part of growing up. Anyway, I really like the way they approach different topics, which is why I'm still here. Blessings
They have strong opinions on screens but then they broadcast their kids online from the moment they are conceived. Also is it necessary for Audrey to constantly put down how Jeremy was raised? It gets antagonistic and unnecessary.
Audrey, don’t forget that family you like to criticize so harshly gave you a husband and four children. It seems to me that Jeremy and his siblings had a dreamy childhood. Publicly criticizing your in laws might not be the best way to approach differences in values. And your own children are learning how to treat parents from you.
Thank you for the episode! Friendly suggestion coming from a genuine intention; It’s hard to follow along at times when both are interrupting or talking over the other. There were times where Audrey had a point and Jeremy would cut her short or rush her along and then times when Jeremy would be mid thought and Audrey would chime in and continue talking over him until Jeremy stopped and then she controlled the conversation. Both have such well thought out and interesting thoughts, it’s just hard as an audience member to be able to fully appreciate it, if that makes sense?
That’s probably where I struggle the most with this podcast. They’re both passionate, but they don’t let each other finish their thoughts before they chime in. It’s like they planned what to talk about 5 mins before recording
I felt so much enjoyment from listening to you guys talk through these topics! I happen to have the exact same views on every topic- what a comfort! I follow on IG, but I’ll be looking for your podcasts now, too! Thank you for sharing your experiences and wisdom!
6:12A in NE PA. Starting my day off right, once again! Giving me the motivation to make French Toast for my Little, before He wakes for Kindergarten...Where has a Week gone, already!? ♡ ☕ 🍞 🥓🍳
I recommend reading the book “ Glow Kids” and “Until the Street lights come on” a lot of what you talked about with screens, health, and sun is covered in these books ✅. Highly recommend.
I can relate to literally ALL of these topics as a mama of 3 very same ages, 9,7,5 and I want a 4th but that’s a whole other story, the one topic that’s different is that i knew from very first kid that I wasn’t going to sleep train or Cry it out, no way i was doing that, How we parent, you guys and us , is referred to as Gentle Attachment Parenting, there’s a whole psychological connection to it and you can read alot about it and how in my opinion it’s the healthiest for babies to not let them cry, and to be there for them to console them. I’ve had 2 home water births and we do Holistic Medicine first always, we skip the Well Child Visits aka, Sick Child visits. one thing I really never even thought deep about before kids was school, i had a best friend growing up who was homeschooled and I loved that idea and so here we are, year 4 of homeschool. loving every moment, These are the Best Days!❤ God Bless
We’ve had a similar approach with screen time, and technology in general. My husband and I have kind of decided to mimic the experience we had growing up with technology (I believe we’re the same age as you) My son (7) has a tv/vcr in his room (only because we don’t have a playroom, otherwise it would be in there), but we keep the vhs movies in the hall closet. This allows him and my daughter to have some independence with technology, but in a safe and controlled way. He also has an old school gameboy, and that’s what we break out for the occasional long car ride or appointment or something, instead of a tablet. This year for his birthday we’re planning on getting him a PlayStation 1 to go in his room with the tv (the games will be kept out in the hall closet with the movies) Over time we’ll slowly upgrade things as we see fit. It’s been working well for us. Technology isn’t the enemy. The key is teaching them how to be responsible with it and use it to their advantage.
I’m glad my brothers and husband had polio shots , etc , otherwise they wouldn’t be here. My mom read and talked to medical doctors years ago before each vaccine . Researchers , phds, and teaching professors at Ohsu would help you understand reality for pregnant high risk moms and children’s diseases who are around other kids, spreading viruses and not telling any one . As a school teacher , people brought Lice, infections, fevers to the school because they do natural oil from Whole Foods. Very unfair to others.
Absolutely love this! I love how y'all talk about dealing with labels and not being afraid to think things through and ask questions. I was nodding my head in complete agreement regarding health and vaccines and disciplining children. In regards to sports, have y'all considered becoming a pickleball family and building a pickleball court on your property!? :D :D
Jeremy, even though I was a Mom who was fairly protective of my three daughters, I grew up playing outdoors every day all day long. I believe I learned self-suffiency and to pay attention to my own instincts for safety. You grew up in that same environment, I think. It's important for children to be kids, mistakes and minor injuries included. I learned to listen to that still small voice and to pay attention to the world around me at a young age. I'm a 74 year old great-grandmother who encourages my daughters, my grandchildren and great-grandchildren to be self-sufficient and to be kind and loving, and especially to listen to the Holy Spirit who is there to guide and direct them. ❤
How is that labeling? What should people who are in the country illegally be called? They are illegals. Saying illegals are undocumented, is a liberal attempt to present these people as lawful.
On the sports topic- Do you think it’s selfish to continue to have more children if you can’t give your current Landon children the opportunity to try different sports, instead of giving them “1 option.” And I feel like that can go into many other things. You live on a farm so at least you have easy access to be able to teach them those life skills. I would love to be able to do that with my kids, but also with modern technology I think being apart of a team and the interaction with other peers will be very important in this new world of everyone just hiding behind screens.
I think kids shouldn’t have social media and unsupervised internet access like it happens when you have a smart phone. Parental controls don’t do much. Kids are smart and get around those or have friends that know how to. I’m a younger Millennial raised by Boomer parents and it amazes me how they instinctively knew the potential dangers that could lurk online even though they didn’t grow up with internet and the world was beginning to learn about it. I’m so grateful that I wasn’t allowed to have social media until I was in college. I understand that for safety reasons kids might need a phone but there’s no need for that phone to have internet access. Kids nowadays don’t even behave like kids. Their mannerisms, they way they talk are like tiny adults. This is because they are exposed to content that is made by adults for adults. Even if said content is something normal like a “get ready with me in the morning” video it’s still involuntary advertising for a kid usually made by an adult. I see little girls all the time shopping at Sephora now. When I was that age I couldn’t care less what I looked like and makeup was something I wore every once in a blue moon for a dance recital or Halloween. Don’t even get me started on the neck problems portable screens are causing kids. My chiropractor has mentioned to me on many occasions how she’s seeing so many kids with neck problems that you usually see in 40 year olds. Let kids be kids. Social media has tremendous psychological impact on adult brains, let alone a child’s.
That’s how they make their living. And I’m pretty sure if you watch this family their children are always outside. I’m willing to bet more than the typical family.
Do you ever get worried about your kids getting sick from a vaccine preventable illness or do you feel that you have the natural remedies at home to treat them all?

This is like the most relatable honest wholesome sharing - you guys have grown so much and you’re humbled like all parents have been😅😅
I felt so much enjoyment from listening to you guys talk through these topics! I happen to have the exact same views on every topic- what a comfort! I follow on IG, but I’ll be looking for your podcasts now, too! Thank you for sharing your experiences and wisdom!
Well if Jeremy says he thought his childhood was a certain way who is anyone else to tell him differently??
I don’t know if it’s possible but timestamps would be great to go back and to reference later on! Thank you for bringing the podcast back ❤
great note, we'll look into that. thanks!

Interesting to speak against labels and then use the word "illegals".
How is that labeling? What should people who are in the country illegally be called? They are illegals. Saying illegals are undocumented, is a liberal attempt to present these people as lawful.
On the sports topic- Do you think it’s selfish to continue to have more children if you can’t give your current Landon children the opportunity to try different sports, instead of giving them “1 option.” And I feel like that can go into many other things.

If she were my daughter in law we would be having a conversation.

I wonder if Jeremy regrets having freedom and living on a farm since it seems to have been wrong based on what Audrey said.
Great podcast…very informative. 🙏❤️🙏
Why did you promote magic spoon cereal then? Tried to get people to buy highly processed food that you claimed it was healthy?
You are a very heavy screen family. You always have your phone out and filming your kids and uploading them on the internet without their consent.
That’s how they make their living. And I’m pretty sure if you watch this family their children are always outside. I’m willing to bet more than the typical family.
Do you ever get worried about your kids getting sick from a vaccine preventable illness or do you feel that you have the natural remedies at home to treat them all?
The baby is a cutie 💓
