I relate to the..."My mother used the same soap she used on herself. There was nothing for kids, just for human beings". 🤣😂🤣
Thank you 😊
Basicly rich vs poor cause lots of people still don't have video monitors, dish washer, bottle makers and use baby food instead of cooking organic meals.
Not sure it's rich versus poor, more like first time parents versus experienced parents. I have a 7 year old and was so much more strict with everything than I am now with my 9 month old. We didn't have a bottle maker with our first because I breastfed, with this baby I do because unfortunately I could not breastfeed and a relative gave us their bottle maker. It didn't last long but it was such a convenience and definitely worth the €100 for a new one. We have lived in our house for 17 years and only got a dishwasher before the new baby arrived. It wasn't the expense. We have a small kitchen so needed to clear out a cupboard to make room for it. Even still I do not put the bottles in because the dishwasher detergent can sometimes leave a residue so I always wash them by hand and put them in the steriliser. Using baby food is way more expensive where I live. I don't do organic but I steam lots of veg and blend it up, freeze it in portions and it's way cheaper than shop bought. Not that I wouldn't use shop bought, it's just that I can make 5 times the amount if I throw a load of veg in the pressure cooker for the cost.
This isn't even just "boomer" parents. This is how a lot of people still raise their babies. The technology and dishwasher is Just an added bonus if you have it and can afford it.
I had a dishwasher,
But handwashed
Bottles. It just them cleaner.
I agree , not sure if I'm classed as a boomer I had my children in the 90's . I didn't feed the "canned" food to my kids . I don't agree with waking a child to make your life easier , a young baby requires a lot of sleep . Much of their development happens while they are sleeping.
@@mightymidas2021 yes you're a boomer.
Boomers are people who are born DURING the baby boom, roughly 1945 to 1969.
Your kids would be millennials too.
My boomer parents always had a dishwasher..... I was born in 84 and grew up in the 90s..... Dishwashers were normal then.🫤..
LOVED this, they are lovely parents! And maybe boomer parenting will teach them they can relax a little on some things
Thank you 😊
Such cute little girls! They are so fortunate to have such loving, caring dads and grandparents.
I'm in my thirties and I guess I parent my twins like a "boomer", too.
I made my twins bottles with the boiling water, cleaned them all by hand, did not have a monitor at all, did not wake my sleeping twins, fed them jar food and occasionally made my own, gave them wooden spoons and spatulas while I cooked in the kitchen, and washed and lotioned them with Johnson's soap.
This video was fun nostalgia, but of when my twins were babies, also.
Parenting like a boomer: I thought you’d be beating your children and showing them almost no emotional support 😅
No emotional support? That's a generalization.
That won’t start until the kids are walking and talking
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Nah that’s true. I was raised by my grandmother and that she still true to this current day
When Tee said Adam and the kids were in Nebraska and he "missed them soooooo much, but he is having a good time" I felt that. I miss my kids when they aren't around but goodness it feels so good to be alone too.
Also: I have twins and you better believe I woke them at the same time. If their sleep schedule was off I would have never slept.
I was born in 1961 and I raised all 9 of my children plus 1 granddaughter & I definitely suffered from sleep deprivation, it was worth it . Love this video and I hope to see more
Thank you 😊
Can they adopt me too, please? What lovely parents they are! I love Adam's dad's sense of humour too 😄
Thank you 😊
Right!!!! His dad is hilarious "back in the day we liked chemicals. Extra chemicals" 🤣🤣🤣
This was a good concept but i still don't think this really fit the theory of "boomer parenting." Boomers had more of a hands off approach in everything including emotional/physical support, communication, etc. You'd have to try this with older kids to really see the difference because it's easier to have the same parenting traits on toddlers and babies.
Very true most people I know that had boomer parents were latch key kids including my mom and aunt
All I recall is belt discipline, walking home from school, microwaving food that shouldn't be microwaved and not getting any useful answers for questions about being a teenager.
What do you remember? 🤣😂
No bibs? What a brave man!
This was so wholesome! They’re wonderful daddies
Thank you 😊
Barney being dubbed a cult - the funniest part about this video 🤣
The nap thing isn’t even really a boomer vs now thing it’s a multiples thing. I always wake up my twins from naps and my singleton friends think I’m crazy
Yes! My twins were on a rigid sleep schedule for sure!
Many ppl parent like this out of necessity
Sky and reve I wish more babies were as lucky as you! Adam and Tee keep up the great work! you two are amazing parents!
Thank you 😊
this was a cute video lol the FaceTime thing was so sweet and the baby radio unlocked a distant memory 😭
I’m 30 and was born in the 90s and I used to love Barney! Lol
This is sucha cool idea. I'm actually really enjoying this series! I hope it goes on!! 💖
I don't have any children, but this seems like parenting like someone who isn't particularly wealthy. 🤔
Yeah, a lot of their stuff they had to put aside was very much a place of privlege.
💯
Very true . I also disagree with waking a baby to make your life easier , babies need their sleep and if you get them into a routine from the off it's not the issue that made out here. When my first Grandchild was born he would have his last feed at 11pm-midnight then would sleep until around 6-7am as he got older the last feed was at 8-9pm and he would sleep until 6-7am .
@@mightymidas2021 ok boomer.
So, there are boomer parenting techniques, but there are also twin parenting things. Plenty of my friends will say, let the babies sleep as long as they want, but when you have twins schedule is key.
Okay but their family is beautiful!
This video is hilarious. Seriously, who truly heats formula bottles?! As a mom of 4 kids, currently 20, 13, 9, & 6. As a low income mom, the majority of this video is for privileged parents, no way is a formula machine necessar. Also hand washingbottles gets them cleaner, i found the dishwasher left a nasty film. And Seriously, never wake a sleeping baby. Hahahha
Yep we only have a dishwasher a year after 17 years in the same house but I still wash the bottles by hand and there's no way I'm waking my baby unless it's 5pm! I don't think it's necessarily privileged parents as formula making machines aren't that expensive where I live and they do save a lot of time but I agree it's not that necessary to heat formula.
This is awesome, lol! Gosh, your girls are so so cute!
I was a mom before I gave birth, my stepson was more than a handful. My first baby was a girl but then I had twin boys and my oldest wasn't even 1yr old so I it was a lot. God bless your family
What a beautiful family! Where can I see more of them. Do they have their own channel?
Yes we do . Thank you 😊
The white cotton socks (always try to find the highest possible cotton content) absorb sweat AND provide extra cushioning, plus sandals without socks can let dirt get onto your feet. The birkenstocks themselves are just more comfortable than closed toe shoes
In that one shot with his brother red shirt dude looks like nikocado avocado
What a remarkable video. Thanks for sharing!
This is how my parents raised us. I remember making bottles for my brother and we bathed him with one of us when he god to be around 6 mo but before that it was a very clean sink since we didn’t have a tub. but we didn’t use a wired baby Monitor he had little blue ones that were like walkie talkies. This was in 2011-2013
-Did you use white noise?
-Well, I snored
😂😂😂😂
My brothers kids came first so I went 6 years watching Barney then my daughter came along Barney was still huge so yes everything was Barney. Eight years later I had my son we kept our VHS tapes and my daughter got her little brother hooked, so guess what my son got hooked.. Barney was back on for another several years. I feel your dad lol.
This was so fun!! So nostalgic! This should be a series
yes! It needs to be a series!
Agreed need to see more than just these few
In Italy we still warm bottles with that procedure🤣
Oh my gosh what a beautiful family! 😍😍 sooo cute
You should do different ethnic homes as a series.
My mom is 66. She never fed us anything from a can or jar. Every day she would work so hard come home and cook everything from scratch. So that part... I cannot relate
I love mirrors in the car so u can see them! I never thought about that before 😮
Y’all had too many machines for stuff that takes two seconds to do by hand
I remember my mom and my grandmother letting me play with pots and pans and spatulas playing the drums on them and stuff that brings back good memories
Well as my boomer parents only bottle fed us till 6 months and then moved to cereal & jarred food…a bottle was a “comfort” thing, like a binky, sucking a thumb & caused bottle rot & buck teeth, true or not……manual bottle washing didn’t last too long…& we slept w/o a monitor, in a cotton sleep sack, which was used to easily change a diaper, in a plastic covered cloth diaper, or in traditional footy Jammie’s of cold, yeah we loved pots & pans, bowls and a wooden spoon. But I’m the youngest & born in 1970. Only TV we got was Saturday morning cartoons or sesame street style shows
My 9 month old has hand me down toys from his older sister but just wants to play with a cardboard box opening and closing the flaps! Whatever works!
I let my kids watch as much TV as they want. We do a lot of things outside of the house so when we are home that is their chill time. I think bc I've never made it an issue, they still will want to play or ask me to read them books. This is anecdotal of course, everyone's experience with parenting is different and I don't think there is anything wrong with limiting screen time
Thank you 😊
I feel like they needed to do cloth diapers as well!
He would soon be complaining lol 🤣
Nah I'm surprised they don't already do it and freak out over having to put their kids in cheap disposable diapers.
@@mightymidas2021 ok boomer.
I love this family!
I am a boomer parent. All parents of babies in my day made fresh food. It was very uncommon to do otherwise. This is total BS.
“…somewhere in Iowa…”
Me too man. Me too
If you're doing a bottle without a formula machine. It's much faster to use a boiled kettle and place the bottle in cold water instead. Cools off to a good temperature in roughly 2 minutes
No reason you couldn't use cooled boiled water to mix n cool it faster.
Canned? It's a jar!! When you do this without all the fancy tec & extra stuff i'll take it seriously.
Right
They are the only kids of this generation to not watch Cocomelon
Beautiful girls!!! You’re doing great, dads!!!
poor kids are gonna grow up loving seeing the grandparents, and hating going home
Way too much arrogance and privilege in one video. I need to go detox now
I agree, Barney was a cult 🤣🤣🤣
Love this idea!
Johnson's baby shampoo is terrible for everyone. Even for dogs. My aunt is a beautician and they taught them some of the ingredients to some shampoos. Never use Johnsons or if it is still on the market, Brett shampoo.
so cute!
My parents had the same baby monitor when my sister was born in 99!
Such an original idea!
I am guess I am parenting now like a boomer cuz alot of the fancy stuff that you guys have for your kids I didn't get those for my son. Made his formula the old fashion way, no white noise machine, no baby monitor, Johnson's and Johnson's baby wash and shampoo is what I use, he gets screen time. Yup officially a boomer🤣
The amount of ads in the video is enough for me to turn it off 😒
This is fun, but there are some issues with accuracy. Did you know that Boomers didn't have car seats until the late 70s. My sister was born in 1975 and had a car bed. 🤣
Interesting video. Somethings are interesting as a non American, for example, the formula machine: We don’t have these around here. Here, millennials use the boomer method 🤣
Well damn you must be a boomer parent when it comes to powder milk and swaddling 😂😂😂😂 but seriously I breast fed both my boys my daughter didn’t want no parts. That milk contraption I need to know how?
You have such a beautiful family! The girls are so adorable! Do y’all have an IG to keep following?
I don’t wake up my baby unless its after 5pm but he still sleeps well at night ❤
Those aren't boomers, his grandparents would be the boomers
Thank you , "Baby Boomers" had their kids in the 60's not the 80's , I also happen to find it disrespectful, because the term is often used by many teens-20 something as a derogatory term .
I'm a Gen X'r and I do all of these things for the kiddos
I read those formula dispensers are not accurate so I never purchased one. Could be dangerous.
If you wanna simulate being a boomer, start with a divorce
OH MY GOD my son is 7 and i guess i am a boomer but im only 30 lol I did the bottles like that, bath time.. everything lol i dont even facetime till now when my son at 7 is like i want to facetime dad lol im like whaaaaat
Cute video.
To everyone who sees this comment, keep pushing in life and never give up. Can't wait to see you successful one day and May God bless you!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Commercials on youtube are getting out of hand
Ha lovely 🥰
I hate that they call their parents boomers 🤦♀️why didn't they say we'll try to parent like our parents. I did the formula thing. I put warm water in. That's the only thing I can disagree on.
because they are Boomers? It's the name of their Generation?
that’s what their generation is called 😭😭
@@miranda6890 now it isn't and it's disrespectful actually
@@miranda6890 and FYI baby boomer had their kids in the 60's not 80's
@@mightymidas2021 why do you feel the need to correct me? do you do not have anything better to do with your life? yes i get what you’re saying but adams parents are boomers so their parenting like bommers for a week 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
I snored
👍❤️
You're Buzzfeed. You aarrre the "boomers"...
Do you even know what a boomer is Karen? Boomers are GenX's parents. Your parents would be GenX'ers.
Unless they had them young or are late gen x, boomers are parents of millennials. Gen parents skips a gen, so boomers are parents to millennials and gen x are parents to gen z and millennials are parents to gen alpha.
Loves his children. But needs to chill
❤
They seem obsessive to me. Like, they've really NEVER given their babies, like a plastic bowel and cup to play with!??? Kinda weird.
My grandmother let my son sleep all day, I got home from work at 5pm and immediately got him up. He kept me up past midnight. 🙄 I'm a gen X parent with a millennial child.
Is it bad that the first thing that came to mind was physically "disciplining" your children to make them behave and defending why that's apparently not messed up the first thing that came to mind after reading the title?
Glad to see that isn't what this video's about. Idk if I'd consider them super boomer-y, just without the luxuries of modern tech.
Not all boomers did the physical discipline thing, my grandma didn't and her parents didn't either. My great grandfather was super against corporal punishment, wouldn't let his kids teachers do it either, the one time my great uncle was caned my great grandad went down to the school and said if they ever touched his kids again he'd be coming back to see how they liked it.
Couple of dufus's.
I respect everyone who were involved in this Seriously the best piece that i ve ever seen on UA-cam 💌 Hate off to well all 💟 love your videos
Hat off
Why is it just one of you at your folks? Are you both uncomfortable in Nebraska? Gotta green book ignorance bros
Maybe he couldn't get away from work...
The kids need a mother and a father and not to confuse men
I had a mom and dad.... brought up good 👍.
Except this situation would be impossible in the 80s.
I have to say the term BOOMER is disrespectful, it's often used in a derogatory way , and I also think you need educating on the term you use , Baby Boomers had their kids in the 60's NOT the 80's. If you must use the term , then at least get the demographic right
I agree. My millennial children call me a boomer. I'm actually a child of baby boomers.
🤣 my mom is a baby boomer and I was born in 91.
@@crops4fun exactly , yet low and behold even with my explanation someone replies their mum is a boomer and that she ( the commenter ) was born in 91 🤦
God you're unnecessarily rude and aggressive about something that isn't important. Seriously go touch some grass.
I'm guessing you're a boomer born in the 60s crying about being called a boomer. And yet here you are acting like a boomer.
BTW boomers are people who are born DURING the baby boom so yes they were born in the 60s. Roughly 1945 to 1969. The generation you're thinking of is called the silent generation.
But the best response to you is
Ok Boomer.
@@museofthepoets my mom is also a boomer she was born in 61
This boomer is being so sensitive acting like a know it all and she doesn't even have the generations correct 🙄 😒
I feel like the Boomer/ Gen X ways are so much better. It's a touch lazier & cheaper parenting, but gives the baby more independence. its okay to do a hybrid of newer parenting tips /tactics as well.
Personally, im Gen Z and feel homemade baby food is WAY healthier, along with how kids shouldnt have a lot of screen time
not rlly boomer parenting with 2 dads
gay people have existed for centuries 😭
Ugh don't do this, it will traumatise your child.
Like gay couples is normal

No one because they are both their dads😂😂😂

What?
annnnddd 6:47 is where I check out of this video. can't listen to crying kids. sorry lol
Why did it have to be a gay couple smh pushing your agenda like always .
… why does it matter?
Who is the "mommy" in "this lovely couple"?This fuckind world is gone bonkers...
Wow. This video seems to be quite a bit out of touch. 🫤 These dads do seem lovely, but far removed from what most people’s lives are like. They appear to be quite financially privileged and not aware that most people *gasp* scoop the formula out by hand! And prepare and clean the bottles this way by hand too. And store-bought baby food?! Also *gasp* definitely still common too. 🙄 Most of these things are just how average people parent, yes - even today. It’s not a “Boomer” thing. It’s just an average, not super wealthy thing. 🫤 Basically they are just comparing rich people parenting vs average people parenting. There’s nothing very Boomer or 80s about this. 😂
I was thinking the same thing. So glad someone has time to make all their baby food from scratch and then also have a milk machine for the formula and a dishwasher and toys that are not pots and pans.... But for the majority of people they may have one of these things not all of them. In the 90's my daughter had to be on a special formula and it only came in powdered form. I had to buy a "special machine"..... it was a blender.
I agree , but FYI those that had kids in the 80's are Not "boomers" (hate that term it's often used in a derogatory way) Baby Boomers had their kids in the 60's
@@mightymidas2021 Baby Boomers definitely had kids in the 80s. Perhaps those born in the 40s had Gen X babies in the 60s and 70s, but Baby Boomers were also born in the 50s and 60s themselves so plenty had Millennial kids in the 80s and 90s. My own parents were born in ‘55 and my siblings and I were born in the 80s and 90s. 😊
