I’ve been a father for 15 years, and now that I am a single dad of two teenagers I’m struggling too. This is my first year on my own with them and it’s so hard to keep positive and continue to fulfil my duties as a father, and to remain being a good dad plus manage to look after myself in the same process. Luckily my mum is around to help when I can’t cope, but I hate asking her for any help because then I feel like I have failed my kids and let myself down. Awhile back I was told by my ex wife and her father that I was a bad father and a terrible husband :( That is far from the truth, all I have ever done is want to care for and protect my family especially the children. Now that those words are in the back of my head I struggle to feel worthy and feel like I have to try extra hard to be a good dad.
It’s a long story but what I wanted to share with you Jess is that even with experience some parents still struggle and that’s okay to admit and yeah as parents we feel that our kids should be our own responsibility, but look at it this way if one doesn’t look after themselves first how can they do the same for their children. Admitting that you need help or are struggling and possibly feeling lonely while caring for your baby/children is more than fine to do it’s normal. My advice would be to ask if you can join in on a local mums group so that you have other mothers to chat with about your experiences and how to cope with certain situations. Go out to a cafe or two and speak to other women young and old and you will get plenty of support and advice. Believe it or not parenting is a a two person job especially when more children come a long. Otherwise the kids divide and conquer and run you ragged, so make sure you talk with Gabe and let him know how your feeling and set times for daddy daughter days so he feels part of the team and you can rest. Express milk and let Gabe do some feeds to take some pressure of yourself frequently. Remember if in your heart you know your doing a good job with your baby keep believing it because you probably are even if other people say you’re not. I think you’re doing a top job with the little one especially having very limited in person family help.
So encouraging! I’m sure your teenagers look up to you in so many ways even if they never say it.
The fact that your assuring Jess when you are stressed and worried at times yourself is truly inspirational. Just remember that parents need time to process just as much as kids do. I am a teenager myself and something that makes me happy is when my parents are emotionally there for me. Make sure that you also make time for yourself. I am glad I came across this comment so that I could send this message to you!
This is truly inspirational. Thank you so much for sharing your story and wisdom, sir. You're an amazing dad and I'm sure your teenagers will grow up to be strong and respectable adults in every way that counts. Remember that God's got this, and He's got you too💛 Much love from the US!
I can tell you I wish my parents would have told me when they were struggling because it would have made it more comfortable to open up to them! That is how deep relationships are built, through vulnerability. You're doing great!
You’re a GREAT DAD
When she’s Christian, honest, and so sweet 🥺Love your videos, they inspire me so much with my channel 💜💜
when she passively promotes her channel pretending she complements a similar channel🫶🏼🤍
and she celebrates Halloween 🙃

Having help with baby is HUGE. My hubby and I are on a retreat right now with some folks from church and all the ladies cuddling, loving on, and being basically aunties and grammies to our one-month-old has been so helpful and special. Literally used this video as motivation to wake up from a nap that I could only take because my wee one is snuggled up in an adopted-auntie’s arms 🥰
The most beautiful person I know is you with kind heart and loving soul 🤗 I love all of your videos, God bless your growing family in Christ
Is it just me, or does anyone else love watching the clouds move in the car top! I love Jess’ honest, humility, kindness and it’s like you’ve know her forever the way she talks to you! ❤️
ye
I love the girl talk videos so much, makes me feel like I’m not alone in most things us girls go through💛
I’ve been waiting for this video since I saw the question sticker on your story. I literally clicked the notification as soon as I saw it. Thank you for making this video & being so open with your motherhood journey. 💛 I relate to everything you’re saying. It’s been almost 4 months since we had our LO & I’ve been struggling as well. You are doing great mama. I’m proud of you. 💜
Oh wow we are so close in months! I hope you’re feeling okay, you’re doing amazing! 💛
@@JessConte oh my gosh, thank you for replying my comment 🥹 I am tearing up just reading your comment 💛 it means a lot, I’ve been watching you guys since 2016 & you’re like the older sister I never had 🥹
This was so nice to hear! I am half way through my pregnancy tomorrow I’ll be 20 weeks and I feel like I’m already struggling but following you for so long and watching all your videos has really helped me! You’re a really good mum!
thank you for being so open jess. i’m not the kinda girl who follows tons of youtubers, but i have been the biggest fan girl of you (and gabe) since i discovered you guys in 2018. and i am convinced it’s because you’ve always stayed so pure, honest and real. even though sometimes i have hard time allowing myself to sit down and actually relax, i always find time to watch your videos. i always look forward to them, they make my day.
tonight was a night where i felt a bit down, a bit sad. i felt unmotivated, and i find that one of the few things that actually makes me feel better is watching your videos. especially sometimes scrolling through the older videos on your mutual channel, i always re-fall in love with those whenever i watch them.
this became a very, very long story. but i just wanted to let you know how much you, gabe and your content mean to me.
thank you. for everything. God bless you, gabe and your precious makaiah 🤍
You’re doing such a great job as a mom and you inspire me! Thank you for always being so real with us ❤
this entire video was so cozy & lovely! thank you for doing these & being so real & honest with us 💚 i have been holding off on having babies for literal years because i am so terrified, so i really appreciate your encouragement! you seem to be doing amazing as a mama & i'll be praying the best for your fam! much love xoxo
this is sooo sweet and means so much, thank you 💛
Love your vulnerability!! These girl chat videos are my absolute favorite. You’re doing great at this motherhood thing, much love to you & your fam🤎🤎
Jess, Since you’ve become a mom it has become even more apparent how your whole life revolves around loving others and loving well. Grateful for your example ❤️.
thank you for always being so real jess 💕
I absolutely love the changes you're making in your life and also in your channel contents. Despite all the changes, your genuineness still remains the same ✨️ and I really look up to you as a role model. Sending you, Gabe, Makaiah and Milo lots and lots of love and support. You guys are truly the best 💓.
The 7 and half deaths of evelyn hardcastle is so good! It's definitely challenging to understand at first, but stick with it it's so rewarding at the end. Very vivid imagery, a complex story, and characters who you don't know who to trust. It's amazing
I love the rainy car chat vibes!! Thanks for sharing your sweet heart with us, Jess! 🤍
I love this era!!!! Sometimes I forget that they struggle like we do!!! It makes me feel like we are just talking on ft, and helping each other!!!🥰🥰🥰❤️
I’ve been watching you and Gabe for 6-7 years now and you feel like a long distance best friend. Thanks for keeping a part of social media wholesome. I hope nothing but the best for y’all❤️ much love!
love your girl talk videos 🧡 thank you, Jess 🙏🏻
Ugh I love your videos Jess. Whenever I feel uninspired or lost, watching your videos gives me so much inspiration to do things in life. That you so so much for everything you do and I pray that you and Gabe are doing well 💞
Really appreciate you being so open about everything… it helps with all the fake bs on the internet
Lol the pregnancy glamour. Yeah
The meaning of marriage is SO FREAKING GOOD!!!
I feel so much more energised, fresh and warm at heart. It was such a good and relaxing heart to heart conversation. Thank you Jess❤
So excited you get to have your family with you almost all of December! That is going to be so special ❤️. I’m pregnant with our first, so I’m loving these mom tips and it’s getting me so excited to see my family interact with our baby girl!
your voice and vibe are so calming
Thank you for being so raw and real! I loved listening to all of your answers and just feeling chill during the busy life with my cup of tea :) I hope God blesses you, Gabe and little Makaiah so much and honestly praying I get to meet you guys one day hehe!
We are here for ya Jess ❤ you’re a great mama and person

I just love your books recommendations, Jess 🥰🥰 have a blessed day!
Your videos is like watching a comfort movie. When feeling down it just brights up your day! 🥰
Some of my favorite Christmas romcoms are the Mistletoe books by Richard Paul Evans, and I love their audio books even more!
In this moment i am watching your old videos😍I thought it would be so cool, if a new comes out, too. And now here it is!🥳Thank you so much Jess for your being. In this time of my life where so much things inside of me change, i love to see myself in you and feel so connected - to you and to life!🧡Greeting from Germany!🦋🌹

Absolutely love whenever you post! Thank you for being so wholesome, honest and sweet💛💛
i started reading the first finlay donovan book when i saw you post it on your story a while ago! it's super good so far :) thanks for sharing!
Absolutely love Jess videos. I get how you feel because i loved being a mom since the start but it was definitely an adjustment for sure. It does get easier and you adapt. Now I have 3 kids and I’m also struggling joggling so many things but you definitely get used to it and can’t image life before kids my oldest she’s so much help she’s 6 years old, her brother is 4 and babyboy is 19 months and baby is so attached to me. But they are all great and unique in there own ways. I love seeing how they grow and develop. I feel like the transition from 1 to 2 kids was easiest then 2 to 3. But some days are better than others.
love you jess!💗
btw dont feel bad about the blessing youre blessed with, i feel like we all have it in different ways, i hope baby kaia meets the sweetest babysitter 💛💛💛
I love your girl chat vids! Sending all the love and support, you’re doing amazing ♥️ as for the 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle, I agree it was hard to get in to. I actually switched over to the audiobook and that helped me enjoy it more!
The rain was super soothing. I am terrified of birth and the pain and the bleeding and everything after ugh, and it sucks because I love babies.
Have a beautiful day, Jess ❣️ You're doing amazing ✨️
Love your vids Jess!
Your videos are just soo chill and I really love watching them 🤍

You inspire me everyday ❤ thank you
Your videos are just so simple and cozy! They are the best!💛
I am a new mom, my kiddo is 14 months old! For me things don’t get “easier” in the sense. You grow stronger mentally and more confident in what you’re doing. Having a supportive group around you is the most important thing too!! I am so grateful for my husband, family and friends for their love & support. You got this mama, you’re doing great! ❤️🙏🏼 so happy for you and Gabe and all your success!
I think this comment and the video are so important!
Parenthood is hard and changes a lot of things (my baby is 13 months!) and it seems like as soon as one challenge begins to fade, a new one arises😂 but what changes is your resilience!
glad to hear from moms who didn’t right off the bat feel like motherhood was amazing… cause online it comes across that way from a lot of people, but it’s not that way in reality
absolutely love your vlogs, feels like an older sister talk 🤍
This video is just vibesssssss love you Jess you feel like another mother to me ❤
omg the rain definitely added to the cozy vibe of this video
Thank you so much for removing time and making video for us..... really love it!!❤️❤️
Jess! I love that I can relate to you so much. Feels like I’m talking to a mommy best friends ❤
I already liked the video before watching it. I just love your channel so much 🥰
I can totally relate with loving my body more now than I did before getting pregnant. I had my son in July this year and my body went back to normal after a week and a half. My stretch marks on my belly are around my belly button and literally in the shape of a heart . It’s the cutest thing ever and I’m proud of them.
Congratulations 👋.

I just finished binge reading one day in December by josie silver - such a sweet Christmas romcom read!
Soo excited for your music!!
aw thank you!!! 🥰
love you so much jess
ur amazing and gonna get through it ur conteam is here for you
10:20, 10:45 I’ve been having these exacts thoughts and feelings since having my now 5 month old. This chat made me feel a lot better about struggling with balance lately.
As a new mom, it can be hard, it’s okay to struggle! It happened to me too! Im still struggling sometimes and my son just turned a year 🥺
