You treat Nam way better than most people threat their nanny in Asia. You show her your love, gratitude and respect. Most importantly, you treat her like a sister and a family member. god bless you and your family!!!
Nam also a good person and appreciate the kindness shown by Lilly.Both of them are blessed by having each other as friend.Nam treated the children like her own.
You have a beautiful family Lilly & it is easy for me to see that Nam feels like she is family also ! You would never use or abuse anyone ! That is not who you are! So happy Nam is safe with you & she can help her family also ! She is always happy ! Thank you for making Nam a part of your life!
Don’t get triggered! Those viewers are either stupid or jealous…. You and Nam have a great friendship! And you obviously respect her and treat her well. She is lucky and you are lucky… no need to listen to those negative people..
I agree. Nam is on a working vacation all the time. It's not like she is at home with the children while they go out. Don't let negative comments gets to you Lilly some people just like to be rude. In Jamaica 🇯🇲 some keep eggs on counter or fridge.
Most people that are making stupid comments have never left the United States. I’m an expat living abroad. I wish I could find a lovely girl like you have
Hi Lily I was exposed to the Asian culture through my ex-husband. He had a nanny when his parents lived in Guam and Singapore. It was a blessing to their family to have the nanny. His Mom worked overtime doing mission work. I understood that Nam was blessed to have you and you are blessed to have her. God is blessing your family and Nam in a huge way. Please don't listen to negative people. They are jealous. Also most people don't take the time to learn and understand different cultures. I do wish that I could get good sleep like Wat. I just got woke up early by my cat. Please take care and I pray that you feel encouraged today. You are helping Nam and all of us. Thank you and God Bless!
People who never travel don’t understand different cultures. When I have visited Thailand and met many people from Myanmar they are so grateful to be working and earning money in Thailand . They always seem happy and are treated well. Lovely kind people.
Lilly, I feel that we as Americans have became a spoiled culture. I am so glad your family has Nam and equally as glad Nam has became a part of your family. 🕊🙏🏻🕊
Thank you for telling us about what is happening to miamar we very priviledged in west we are affectionate to your naham now waching your channel thank you for educating us about ather cultures of the world
You both are very fortunate that you found each other… Lilly treats Nam as a sister not a maid … also one day when Nam gets established she can move her family to Thailand and they can all be together… Take care of one another… God Bless you all..❤
I understand how difficult Nam's life was in Myanmar, but from her beautiful smile, she seems very happy living in Thailand with your family. Hey, love her and respect her, she will also do the same. Don't listen to the haters. You are doing the right thing.
I am here in USA totally enjoying all your videos. Beautiful family. Nam is a beautiful woman who is loving and kind. I actually feel blessed that I get a chance to enjoy Thailand and the children and Wat and Nam and thank you Lilly for sharing your life. I'm so glad I found this channel last year. Sending all love and respect.💞
YES, YES, YES... Without people such as you, Lily, us country bound Americans would not know about Thailand or Burma and the people there. I am too old to envy you, I have said before I think you are BRAVE, and Robin Walker is absolutely correct and I agree with her 100%.
@@graciemaehollowbone1455 Thank you Gracie. I have been to Egypt and Ghana. People all over the world are so wonderful and different. That's what makes the world go round. Lilly makes me want to visit Thailand 💙
@@robinsnestradio Me, too! Maybe one day, after I retire, if I can save up I could travel there. Yeshua can lead anywhere, anytime, and it is marvelous
Lily, Nam is being treated well and she is happy. She would not have stayed if she isn't. It is just a difference in cultures and people work differently in Asia. It's all good. I can see you trust Nam and you see her as a sister. You have shown us this. That is why it's easy to love your videos. You are all very blessed. Thank you for sharing.
Nam is truly a lifesaver! Looks like she’s always there to help. We also have a helper from Myanmar. She helps us with cooking and cleaning. I don’t know what I’d do without her.
Lilly is low key very cosmopolitan and sophisticated. Speaking Thai to restaurant workers in Kohsamui one day and French to Parisian cab drivers the next. She is also a restaurant owner, cook, youtube star and clothing store owner. She seems laid back but she knows a lot of crazy stuff that the average American has no clue about.
Nam gets to experience things she never would have without you guys! She's also treated and thought of as family! Real people recognize that. Rebuke the haters! 🙏🏻 💕
I'm so glad you did this video Lilly even though you didn't have to...many North Americans don't understand other cultures and judge..unfortunately many ppl think America's standard of living is The best but look at the stressful lives they live to maintain that. And the lifestyle can't be maintained unless you're wealthy so when you're old they retire to the cheaper countries with a less stressful lifestyle. I'm from the Caribbean and many of us have family nannies who we've helped to get homes so when they retire they have somewhere comfortable. Some nannies even get to travel to other countries if we can get visas for them. I'm sure if Nam could get a passport you'll take her too one day. Living and working in America can be just as hard and the abuse is subtle. Corporate America can be unkind and ppl are afraid of losing their jobs for minor infractions. When you become an executive in corporate America you work more hours than Nam with less fun. There are pros and cons to consider with every nation and culture. The only safe place is In Christ no matter where we live physically. Trust God Lilly and don't worry about the negative criticism... there's a big difference between kind constructive suggestions and mean controlling judgementalism. ❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏
Lilly, you and Wat provide a beautiful home for Nam. Also give her funds that I'm sure she helps her family. That is what the Lord wants 🙏 you to do. You're a beautiful person, good wife and great Momma. People will always have something to say. The Lord will protect you and your family honey. ✝️ ❤
Hi Lily. I’m Australian, my brother has been visiting Thailand on and off with his Thai wife for years. They met when he was on holidays in Thailand about 10 years ago. They are in Thailand at present and return to Australia on the 30th. I have been there once in 2008 and loved it. Their fruit is to die for too! Really friendly people. My brother and his wife lived there for a while, bought some land and built a small house. They have land on a beach which my brother hopes to build a restaurant one day.
Yea, who gave Nam money n food n clothing...it’s Lilly who is the one earning the money to feed everyone otherwise Nam would be astray on her own n maybe living in poverty. Nam is so blessed to have Lilly to look after her too. The pillar of the family is Lilly not Nam.
I know how it feels when people who don’t know you will say critical things about you that they don’t understand. To me it looks like you all are a family, Nam a sister to you. I believe you are blessed to have each other. Praying for you and your family as you live the life you choose. Blessings to you all.
I am super proud of you Lili! You continue to work and provide for Wat, kiddos and have lovingly brought Nam into your family and provide for her too. She would never have been able to enjoy the experiences that being a part of your family has afforded her. I don't think Nam sees it as work, which people do not understand.
Lilly, I am from a third world country and it is clear to me that Nam is loved and well taken care of. She also adores your family and you have her as a "sister" for life. The issue with the bed was never something that stood out to me as in my family we always switch around when others come to visit based on what they can manage e.g., some take the bed, some the couch, some the ground and some the blow up beds but you asking Nam to switch came off as nothing to me as I myself can only sleep on beds and soft ones at that. Don't let people affect you! Keep doing what you are doing, helping those who need it, spread the word and raise your family with love, compassion and support! Wishing you a great 2023 Lilly and Fam!!
I guess you open yourself to negative comments when people get a narrow view of your public postings. However, we see you as a beautiful family coping (and thriving) with what life throws your way during pandemic times and, as you say often, Nam “holds it together”. She is clearly an integral part of your family and everyone respects her for her contributions! Hold onto your dreams of buying land and building those houses; that would be so lovely!!!
The love you and your family have for Nan shows. You treat her so well, and both you and Nan are grateful for each other..Nam is always smiling in the videos Ive watched, she always looks so happy. I just recently came upon your channel, thank you for sharing your beautiful family and life with us.
To me nam feels like she an aunt, big sister to the kid's it does not feel like work to her that's why she looks confused by all the questions lily was asking. Getting someone to trust with your kids are a god send. I know you cherish her Lily.
Lily please dont get triggered about what negative people have to say. You give so much love to Nam & your family. Wat seems to be an introvert & therefore speaks less but he is a loving father & family man. God bless you all.
So proud of your adorable kids. They’re gonna be great Thai citizens.. They will be proud of American mother .. Just ignore other people criticizing…Everyone is different..Everyone has his/her own ways of living…Keep up the good works..I know Nam is so blessed to live with your family..!
We live in the UK and don’t keep our eggs in the fridge. You are a lovely family . I trained to be a Nannie and was one for over 10 years with different family’s and in Holland ,Denmark , France , Belgium and U K . Nan is great and you are a lovely family xxx
Thanks for your lovely videos. Your channel is my favourite. I think Naam is lucky to be with you, as life in Mianmar (as well as in so many places all over the world) is so terrible to live in. Naam works for you, makes her living in a protected environment exactly like a family member, and being able to support her all family in her country. Don't pay attention to all those good souls who tell you provocative - self-righteous comments. Love from Israel!
Lili, you don't have to worry about minority reviews. Nam is happy to work and be with you, eapecially you look after her like your own family. Eat together, enjoy together, no separation no division, you have looked after Nam very well. You treat her like a relative and most importantly, Nam is happy to take care of your family. Don't let the words of silly people destroy the friendship between you and Nam. Stay strong and continue to enjoy your lovely family in Koh Samui as much as you can.
Many people compare themselves to Nam and have a lack of knowledge about other cultures. It is very obvious that she loves what she does and especially when you hear her say "what would I do" (if I wasn't here.) You were so sweet to take her for a massage. She is more than a employee, she is family. That is obvious. Blessings to you all!
This might have been said already in the 1,000 comments, but if eggs are fresh and have never been refrigerated, they last for months on the counter. If they are massed produced and have been washed, then they must be refrigerated. No one can know a life through a 20 minute video, I'm just glad you share those 20 minutes with us. They are so much fun! Americans do not know Thai culture, me included. I do sleep separately from my hubby though, and we adore each other. I just don't adore his snoring and running in his sleep! Love your videos.
I know I am late to the party on this video, but your comment on eggs was startling. Having traveled the world I know that eggs that aren't refrigerated are common. However your comment that they are good for "months" is completely false. In fact they are good for right around 2- 3 weeks, no where near "months". On the other side, refrigerated eggs are good for months....so I think you got that info reversed. 🙂
This is really heart breaking that these evil ass people will do anything for money and power. It's crazy how most of us in America take a lot of things for granted. Anyhow, I believe that you can make your dream comes true Lilly. Wish you and your families nothing but good health and prosperity. 🙏🙏🙏
Lilly, Nam is a big part of your videos. Focus on the beautiful memories she is making with your babies and family. Don’t let the few ignorant people take that away from you. Thanks for educating about Burma.
Lilly, I absolutely love watching your videos and your amazing family. I think what matter most is what works for you, Wat and your precious children. No one else has to understand or accept as they are not you. I know watching a video people think they know all about you and they know better than you. That’s just life and the way it will always be. Keep living and loving and sharing some of your life with us. I think you are making a difference and I know opening minds to new life ❤️
Thank you so much Lily for speaking up and raising awareness of the situation in our country Burma. International audiences need to know and understand the real situation in Burma/Myanmar. It’s taking place every day up to this day.
I think your relationship with Nam is pretty special. She's actually become an integral part of your family. She's a special lady and you are very fortunate to have her. I've been wondering if her responsibilities will change once you open the restaurant. Much love ❤ to you and your family. One last thing...loved seeing Wat sleeping in the midst of all the activity. You definitely found a keeper. Lol.
I like how you treat Nam like a part of your family. People in the West don't understand how common it is to have a nanny or a housekeeper in Asia. She's definitely not treated badly. I was in Myanmar in 2020 and I fell in love with it, but it's definitely an impoverished country with a lot of issues right now- I hope things change there soon, the people there are some of the most wonderful and kept a piece of my heart with them.
Nam is lucky to have you, Lilly. She experiences a far better life, eats in places she would never have access to, wears beautiful clothes and travels to places she would never travel to but for you and Wat. She takes care of your kids, but you are also very generous with her, Lilly. Nam won the lottery with you and your family. The home cooked food you prepared looks so healthy and delicious!! You are such a loving mother and wife. Blessings to you and your family.
Lilly you are a so lovely multicultural family! Your style of living is so inspiring, calm and peaceful! I feel blessed by following you here! I believe that only narrow minded people can't see that. Nanny is blessed having in your family and she is a bless to you! That's what I can observe! Praise our good Lord!🙌🏽
Beautiful Lilly, you do not have to explain yourself to anyone. You are truly an amazing person, you and Nam have a precious relationship. Her life is much better because of you and your husband, all of you treat her like a family member. I have traveled around the world and I have seen how some people abuse domestic workers and unfortunately there are no laws to protect them. May God watch and protect the people living in Myanmar. 🙏🙏🙏🙏 prayers for the whole world 🌎❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🌎🌎
To me Nam looks very happy! She seems to enjoy being a nanny and is good at it. I grew up from 12 -19 in Indonesia. I'm Canadian. My dad worked there.I loved growing up in Indonesia. We were expected to have a driver, gardener , housekeeper etc. It was to give jobs to the people there and we paid better than most jobs they could get. We cared a lot about them and respected them. When we move back to Canada they were crying and we were as well. My Dad did make sure they all had jobs with other people before we left. We did travel around Thailand for a vacation and it was beautiful .We stayed mainly in Pattaya. I didn't realize how bad things are in Burma
Nam choose to be a nanny, she gets good food, safe home to live in, new dresses, money... or she can choose to work elsewhere constantly in the battlefield in the outside world, who is more stressful.. Lilly who has to earn money to feed her or Nam who gets fed? Wat helps to look after his kids too, Nam does not do it on her own...stop making Lilly feel bad.
@@asummer9460 my comment had ZERO to do with Lily. The comment was talking about Nam. I lived and worked in Thailand for 3 years in Chiang Mai. Thai people will always smile and never express their true feelings to save face no matter how uncomfortable they are. They don't want to rock the boat or cause conflict. Nam seems happy in front of the cameras but it feels performative. Lily often has to coach or tell Nam to be "happy" whenever the camera is on. She instantly turns on and starts giggling. It feels fake. I can see why Wat stays off camera. He's not going to fake it and perform as a happy dancing Thai to appease to the western viewers who are under the impression they can just move to Thailand and get the locals to do everything for them. Thai people aren't servants. Women like Nam don't strive to be nannies ..it's probably the only job she can get. And trust me..they aren't getting paid a lot just because Lily has a big UA-cam channel. If Nam was earning a lot, she would definitely quit and go back to her own country. Farang always take advantage of the locals. I unsubscribed to this channel cause I got tired of seeing her force Nam to be happy on the camera. It's fake. I won't watch anymore content.
@@CuratedVibes I think you have a one track mind the way you spoke about farangs taking advantage of Thai people. First of all, Nam is not Thai, she is Burmese and of course she can’t earn a lot because which employer will pay for your housing, food and travel as well as high wages? If she can earn a lot she would not be a live in nanny... she would find a high pay job and live with her son & family in her own country, why would she live in another country and far away from her family and you may be right, Nam may not like to be exposed to the camera and maybe had to smile for the Camera but she knows very well by helping her employer Lilly to earn money on YT, she is also helping herself otherwise Lilly can’t afford to pay her and she would have to find another job. And who knows the other Employer could be abusive to her, could use her more and slavery to her as she needs the money to feed her family in Burma so what’s wrong with that? If you could see why she choose to work for Lilly for so many years because she knew Lilly will treat her right and her safety to live with them, Thai is not her country... safety is important for her ie she could be raped, she could be made into brothel, other unthinkable evil out there cuz she is alone in Thai so she knew Lilly & her family well so she has faith to stay with her for so many years. Never assume how she felt...happy nor unhappy because we are not Nam, what u saw is only a moment of her. You subscribed because you wanted to watch Lilly and her family not Nam.. Nam is only an extras in this film production. Get things right and not all westerners are using Thai people because wherever you go whichever country the locals would serve the tourists because they need them for their Economy...so do not condemn with narrow mind. The world is huge to explore and there’s good n bad in every race.
Bless you Lilly for your love for others and giving Nam and her family a good life and sharing your blessings with others. It’s what life is all about and thanks for sharing that with us. 🙏🙏
I think you are a beautiful woman, inside and out. The way you have taken Nam under your wing , so to speak, to me is a wonderful way to keep her with job, you with help in childcare. If she, Nam, didn't love you and your family she wouldn't stay with you as long as she has. I consider her as much a part of your family as I do your mom. My opinion, my outlook on this issue. Love you all so much. God's Blessings always. From SC, USA
Lilly, I'm from England. I LOVE your videos ! You and Nam have such a lovely, mutually respective relationship and it's wonderful to see you sharing your life and your children. Ignore the unkind comments. Hugs from England 🤗
Lilly you have a heart of gold but you mustn't let what ignorant people think & say cause you to feel badly about yourself. I love watching & learning about other cultures. No judgment. 🤗
Thank you for sharing some of Nam's story. It's hard to comprehend such atrocities going on in her home country, when we are so privileged. I love the relationship you both have,she is like a sister, who adores those kids. I pray your dream of the land for all the family comes into fruition, that the Lord keep you and your family safe with travelling mercies,and may your cup always be full, in Jesus name.🙏
Don’t let people get to you. It is very clear that Nam loves to be a part of your family. I am guessing people making these stupid comments have never traveled to these other countries and have no real understanding of life outside of their own little world. You have greatly enhanced Nan’s life. She is included as a family member and knows she is loved, cared for and safe. It’s a perfect fit for your family and for Nam. Thank you for sharing your life with us. Have a great day❤️
Have Luke bonded with (little brother) Leon yet?? The kids are so adorable!!🤗 Nam deserves time off, good to see she is happy, and received a message👍😊
Love this video where you share more about Nam’ county of Myanmar 🇲🇲. You are right , US media unfortunately does not show countries really bad oppressors. I work at major bank where I learn international news and my line of work to understand which countries are sanctioned because of inhumane treatment of their people. Knowing some of this information, I’m sure Nam is grateful to have a job, and helping her family . I pray you and her can help her family move to Thailand where it’s safe.thank you Lily for another beautiful and educational video. Enjoy your massage Nam ❤🙏🏽🤗
I see Nam as part of your family and your family is so very precious. Thanks for being willing to let strangers to peek in on your lives. I know it truly is a sacrifice! One wish I have is to come there and to give you a hug. I truly can see Yeshua radiate through your being my dear sister! 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
Don't get triggered so easily, dear Lily. The most important thing is that you're both really happy. Nobody should judge you, they can't even see your heart and inner feelings...don't bother with those negative comments...you're doing good! Everytime i enjoy your vlogs and your family..i can see the love you have for each and one of them...i love how you treat Nam with respect and love her like your own sister...Again: You're doing great! Lots of love from me to your family, Blessings from Suriname, a small country in South America❤
When watching your videos, it's obvious to me that you and Nam have developed a true friendship and yes she works for you but that is something that works for both of you. She loves the children and seems genuinely happy.
Lilly, you are employing and providing for an entire family not just Nam… you are obviously a wonderful, successful, empowered woman… I hope YOU are as appreciated as you appreciate Nam… I also hope Wat appreciates you too! Although I can see Wat is also a very attentive man for his family 🌸🇦🇺💕
Here in Portugal,they also don't keep eggs in the fridge.My husband sleeps with lights on,with tv on,on the floor,I even found him one time sitting on a chair in front of the fridge with the door open and he was .......sleeping.When he was younger he didn't like to sit on the sofa but instead rather on the floor.Incredible for us.They are noise deaf,I also don't understand it.I think you're treating Nam well.But then she is an authentic jewel!!!So good for your kid's and so handy with everything and no complaining.Love her!She deserves the very best!
How old is nam's son I think you treat her wonderful she is definitely a part of your family you could see that and the love that she feels for you and your family I think that was good she went for a massage and do the little special things for her is wonderful
Looking at Nam, i knew she is very happy working for Lilly. Nam is always smiling n cheerful. I am very sure Lilly, being a follower of Jesus n our heavenly Father, will treat everyone well.
I don’t understand why Lilly’s husband always looks so miserable having a such a beautiful wife and kids. I don’t care about how he looks but the energy that he transmits in regular basis, is like he is always disappointed or upset. Thank God the nanny is always around and always happy!!!
I like Wat, but I'm more of an introvert, and I see myself in him. I also see that sweet Leon may end up an introvert as well (maybe). In my opinion, the introvert plays just as an important role in this world. So, I don't think he's miserable, he may be exhausted by being on camera or tired of being "on" all of the time. Some of us need to unplug and reboot. I date an extrovert and I often disappear into the background or choose not to participate because being center stage is not what I want but I don't want to stop those that are into the festivities. So, (((hugs))) to Wat. I also see Nam as a possible introvert as well... IMO, introverts have superpowers and could someday save the world! 😄🤗🤩
Oh my gosh quit the judging comments. People don’t have to smile all the time. Lilly your family is blessed and highly favored. They are the heads and not the tails and above and not beneath. The Lord’s fave shine upon you and your family
Lily, while back I said something about Leon and I've seen you engage with him and love on him and it dawned on me I can't judge because we don't what happens after outside the vlogs. I take my hat out for you, you are doing such an amazing job and I also wanted to say that I'm sold, I want to acknowledge how a great mom and vlogger you are. You have given us daily consistent content. I pray that the Lord blesses you and sees your effort and strength. I know it is not easy to do the blogs we get 20 mins vlogs, seems like it's easy but I know it is not, it takes 8hrs of editing. So my hat out to you Lily. I will always be true and give credit where credit is due. You are doing great and I promise it will pay off and I pray for Gods blessings in your life and family for generations to come!
Hello Lilly . You treat Nam really good just like one of your family members. Maybe Nam gets one day off. Just have her time to do what she’s want . Maybe just do nothing and have her alone time. I have raise all 4 grown boys and l still just need one day off to have my time just to relax and do nothing. Thanks have a blessed day !
Lilly don't worry about pleasing people. Don't let people's negative comments get to you. Do what's best for your family & forget the rest. Prayers for getting that house!
Lilly I love watching your family ( and that includes Nam ) I look forward to it and even got my husband watching you too. Don’t let people get to you, people just enjoying being mean online. You and your family are beautiful. They don’t understand that Nam is part of your family not just your nanny. Please keep doing you and having a great life and making your wonderful videos. ❤ love you guys!
It is so good to hear Luke say he is a Thai boy ... ever since he came back from America, it seemed like he was ashamed of being Thai. He stopped speaking Thai, while on video at least. I always wondered if someone made him feel bad for being Thai when he came to America. At any rate, I'm happy to see him embrace his Thai culture. I think it helps when he hears you speaking and embracing the culture as well. Love watching your videos.
I attend to agree. It could very well be that he felt outsider in the USA. It's common in kids of mixed race to feel a kind of inability to relate to one particular, especially when he is the only one who looks different from the rest. It's quiet early that they can feel isolated from one particular group. Since Lule is looking very Thai, naturally he will feel that Thailand is more comforting than the USA. It will probably be the same for Liala, as she too does look very Thai. Whereas Leon is the only one who is looking more of a mixed race. My guess that Leon in the future would be more relaxed about his identity.
Lily...ignore negative comments. I believe Nam is happy to be with your family, full of smile and happiness in her face. She is lucky to be in your family and you are also lucky to have Nam to help you out. God bless your family ❤.
Lily I appreciate your videos so much! It is fascinating to see the Thai culture through your eyes. I think you have a beautiful relationship with Nam full of trust. Outside comments can be triggering but sometimes it can lead to a few small changes that can benefit everyone. But it is obvious that Nam could come to you and talk frankly if she had any concerns. You have a genuine friendship and a wonderful working relationship.
Eggs have a protective coating that is washed off in most store-bought eggs in the US. Because of this, they need refrigeration. However, if you raise your own chickens, the eggs you gather fresh will still have their protective coating. A general rule, UNWASHED eggs will last around two weeks unrefrigerated and about three months or more in your refrigerator.
We currently live in Munich and they also don’t refrigerate the eggs. The eggs are also much less likely to crack while boiling because the shells aren’t weakened by the cleaning.
Lilly I lost my 39 yr old daughter in a car accident, I watch you and think of her and it brings me joy to see your kids , I can’t believe how lonely I get with her gone ,you are a super awesome mom and wife
Lilly, I can completely relate to you. My husband is from Indonesia. At our house, I insisted on having beds as I could not sleep on the floor and they had mats as well. At the family home when all of us come together from all the islands, we sleep on mats. It hurts my back tremendously. YES, the Burmese story is heartbreaking. The same thing is happening in Pakistan as far as harvesting of organs, starving people out, etc. Lilly, the most important thing is you are together My husband and kids have to be apart. Financially, I have to work in the US and am here with one daughter as she finishes up university. The last time I saw my husband was in April. We understand the sacrifice we have to make for the family. Our faith in Christ keeps us going. We said, if we don't see each other again on earth, we shall see each other in heaven. Enjoy your every minute you can be together. Nam is blessed to have you and your blessed to have her. Your a treasure!
@@travellovers3576 Could be many things...elders to protect and provide for, older children with family of their own, to keep possession of assets until wife can return, important job/position, health reasons, political reasons in USA (visa, green card, etc.)...I'm sure Vichelle and her family thought long and hard about this decision. Pray for them, bless them, love them unconditionally.
My husband and I live in his home country of Micronesia. In 2020 I went back to my home country of the US for medical and to help our college aged daughter. My youngest teenage daughter was still in school and my husband was working and taking care of her and they couldn’t come with me. Covid happened and a week before I was scheduled to fly back to Micronesia they shut their borders! I was stuck in the US apart from my husband and my daughter for 17 months. I understand how hard it is. I will keep you in prayer. Remember God has a plan and He sees and knows what’s happening. 🙏🏼
Lilly, I just love your spirit and simplicity. You are really living an organic lifestyle, no drama. I can see your good heart reflecting on your family. God’s abundance blessings upon you and yours. Keep on keeping on.
Nam is clearly treated as family, but people have to remember that she is also still employed by Lilly; what Nam is doing is a common job to take on for south eastern asians i.e. some filipino women go to the Middle East to be live-in nannies just so they can earn better money and support their family. It's completely reasonable for Lilly to ask Nam if it's okay they switch beds; also, don't underestimate how comforting or how okay it actually is for people to sleep on the floor or on hard beds, especially if it's how they used to sleep at home with family. And from what I've seen watching Lilly's videos, Nam and Lilly seems to have a comfortable and close relationship where Nam seems like she's able to say if she's unhappy with something. The fact that Nam seems happy with Lilly + family and that she finds what she's doing fun/easy is a blessing; and the fact she's employed by people who consider her as family must be such a big help for when she feels lonely, since it seems like her family is in Myanmar. All the best to this family + Nam!
I`m glad to see you spoil Nam now, she really deserves that. Some viewers mentioned how lucky Nam is, well the same goes for you and Watt. People like Nam, who are in need, should not be treated like we are doing them a favour, rather than giving them a better way of life. It was nice to hear about your plans for the future, including Nam`s family. I don`t think anybody is jealous or envious of you at all, I`m happy you got Nam, your whole family is so lucky to have her. Nam is your friend and support system all in one, without her your life would be much harder, but you know that. One more thing, giving Nam her first Mattress to sleep on, is not really worth mentioning, compared to what she brings to the table. By the way, you have the most adorable kids, you are blessed in so many ways!💌
Lilly I love the way you treat Nam as family! She really reserves being well treated, she's your family's Angel😇. She is so sweet ! I wish more "Nams" existem in this world. Wish you all a WONDERFUL new year 2023♥️🙏🙏🙏
I have 6 year old Twin girls, I wish I had a Nam! You and Wat are an Amazing couple! I watch all your videos and you can tell that Nam is Happy. People will always have something negative to say when their own lives aren’t going as good as the next persons life. You guys take very good care of your 3 Children’s plus Nam. When they say it takes a village to raise kids it’s the truth, and what you’ve shown us is your Village, you, Wat and Nam!
Hi Lilly, my name is Rick and I am from the Netherlands (Europe) and every now and then Ii watch your Ko Samui vlogs. I saw your vlog and you want to now about the eggs in or outside the fridge, in the Netherlands most people store them in the fridge, I do too. And about your relationship I can only tell you that you have to do what you feel is good for you, do not listen to all the comments of others who do not understand you. I think you have 3 beautiful kids and together with your husband you look happy. I think you are a sensitive woman who has doubts sometimes about life etc. etc. but who doesn't. So I wish you and your family all the best and good health for 2023, greetins from Rick
Girl, you keep doing you! So proud of your family and the life you've made. I love your videos! So much love comes through. 💓 Hugs, hugs, hugs to all of you!
Nam looks very happy living and working with you and being part of your family. As a family we don’t get days off from being a family but have time away to do what we would like to if we want to. I pray that Nam’s family are safe and her son will be able to come and work there on the island and be close to her. Thank you for the video and telling us about what is happening in Nam’s country. Stay safe and continue being a happy family.
That's true.We only get to see a tiny bit of your family on a video and yet there are people who think they know what your family looks like. For me I enjoy watching your videos..I think they are interesting and fun to watch different cultures connect , kids growing up.,food and places your family travels.Interesting even if, for only tiny glimpses of them. Thank you for sharing .God bless you and family and Nam.🌸❤️
I believe you all are very blessed to have each-other. I can’t wait to be able to visit one day! May God continue blessing your whole family! You’re doing an amazing 🤩 job! We benefit just learning of such a beautiful culture. Thank you so much for all the beautiful things you share!!!
Thank you for sharing your life with us . I can’t wait to watch your video’s..Num is a blessing to have in your families life. I see Wat as being shy I also think Wat don’t won’t to get his hopes up on buying the house and get disappointed God Bless you and your Family and Num which she is family .. Thanks for sharing some of Num life’s . I can’t wait to meet her son I know she is excited ..The kiddos are growing so fast . Stay strong Lily don’t let people get you down your doing such a awesome job with everyone ❤️
Yes in Malaysia we must to give 1 day off to our helpers/Nanny. my Nanny from Indonesia, every year I bought her flight ticket to going back to her hometown
Thank you for watching! If you could give this video a thumbs up and subscribe to my channel I would really appreciate that.😊❤🙏
👍
Thumbs up!
Always...
Always give all your videos a thumbs up 👍
I like their relationship,her husband so easy going.Nothing seems to bother him,
also like the babysitter.👍
You treat Nam way better than most people threat their nanny in Asia. You show her your love, gratitude and respect. Most importantly, you treat her like a sister and a family member. god bless you and your family!!!
Nam also a good person and appreciate the kindness shown by Lilly.Both of them are blessed by having each other as friend.Nam treated the children like her own.
Agree ☺️👍.
well said!
You have a beautiful family Lilly & it is easy for me to see that Nam feels like she is family also ! You would never use or abuse anyone ! That is not who you are! So happy Nam is safe with you & she can help her family also ! She is always happy ! Thank you for making Nam a part of your life!
❤️🙏
Don’t get triggered! Those viewers are either stupid or jealous…. You and Nam have a great friendship! And you obviously respect her and treat her well. She is lucky and you are lucky… no need to listen to those negative people..
I agree!!!!!!!!!!
I agree. Nam is on a working vacation all the time. It's not like she is at home with the children while they go out. Don't let negative comments gets to you Lilly some people just like to be rude. In Jamaica 🇯🇲 some keep eggs on counter or fridge.
Most people that are making stupid comments have never left the United States. I’m an expat living abroad. I wish I could find a lovely girl like you have
AGREED!!!!
Exactly.
I’m so happy when Nam said his son is coming next year❤️Can’t wait to see them reunited🙏❤️❤️❤️
Hi Lily I was exposed to the Asian culture through my ex-husband. He had a nanny when his parents lived in Guam and Singapore. It was a blessing to their family to have the nanny. His Mom worked overtime doing mission work. I understood that Nam was blessed to have you and you are blessed to have her. God is blessing your family and Nam in a huge way. Please don't listen to negative people. They are jealous. Also most people don't take the time to learn and understand different cultures. I do wish that I could get good sleep like Wat. I just got woke up early by my cat. Please take care and I pray that you feel encouraged today. You are helping Nam and all of us. Thank you and God Bless!
People who never travel don’t understand different cultures. When I have visited Thailand and met many people from Myanmar they are so grateful to be working and earning money in Thailand . They always seem happy and are treated well. Lovely kind people.
I have slept the past couple years with light on in bedroom. I have PTSD and feel like I am going to get attack.
Lilly, I feel that we as Americans have became a spoiled culture. I am so glad your family has Nam and equally as glad Nam has became a part of your family. 🕊🙏🏻🕊
❤️🙏
Nam is the one whole holds the kids together. Trust me, with 3 kids ain’t no time for vlogging. Now my kids are in the 20s
Lily you do u(don't worry abt)wht others say online!Over here eggs r kept outside2*Wherever ur with family,that's home yeah!No worries;)
Thank you for telling us about what is happening to miamar we very priviledged in west we are affectionate to your naham now waching your channel thank you for educating us about ather cultures of the world
You both are very fortunate that you found each other… Lilly treats Nam as a sister not a maid … also one day when Nam gets established she can move her family to Thailand and they can all be together…
Take care of one another… God Bless you all..❤
I understand how difficult Nam's life was in Myanmar, but from her beautiful smile, she seems very happy living in Thailand with your family. Hey, love her and respect her, she will also do the same. Don't listen to the haters. You are doing the right thing.
❤️🙏
Appreciate you bringing light to the situation in Burma and for providing Nam with love and a good life!
I am here in USA totally enjoying all your videos. Beautiful family. Nam is a beautiful woman who is loving and kind. I actually feel blessed that I get a chance to enjoy Thailand and the children and Wat and Nam and thank you Lilly for sharing your life. I'm so glad I found this channel last year. Sending all love and respect.💞
YES, YES, YES... Without people such as you, Lily, us country bound Americans would not know about Thailand or Burma and the people there. I am too old to envy you, I have said before I think you are BRAVE, and Robin Walker is absolutely correct and I agree with her 100%.
@@graciemaehollowbone1455 Thank you Gracie. I have been to Egypt and Ghana. People all over the world are so wonderful and different. That's what makes the world go round. Lilly makes me want to visit Thailand 💙
@@robinsnestradio Me, too! Maybe one day, after I retire, if I can save up I could travel there. Yeshua can lead anywhere, anytime, and it is marvelous
@@graciemaehollowbone1455 Amen!💙
I agree. Thank you for sharing your beautiful family and Nam!❤️
Lilly, I can tell you love Nam and treats her very well. You treat her like family.
Lily, Nam is being treated well and she is happy. She would not have stayed if she isn't. It is just a difference in cultures and people work differently in Asia. It's all good. I can see you trust Nam and you see her as a sister. You have shown us this. That is why it's easy to love your videos. You are all very blessed. Thank you for sharing.
Nam is truly a lifesaver! Looks like she’s always there to help. We also have a helper from Myanmar. She helps us with cooking and cleaning. I don’t know what I’d do without her.
❤️🙏
Can I ask what country you are in?
@@Bettyboop991 Thailand 🇹🇭
Lilly is low key very cosmopolitan and sophisticated. Speaking Thai to restaurant workers in Kohsamui one day and French to Parisian cab drivers the next. She is also a restaurant owner, cook, youtube star and clothing store owner. She seems laid back but she knows a lot of crazy stuff that the average American has no clue about.
You have beautiful children.
You are speaking Thai. Please keep speaking English to you children. Have you thought about living in the states? God bless.
totally agree!
I would live in Thailand if I had money ( I need to have a Job) 😅
Nam gets to experience things she never would have without you guys! She's also treated and thought of as family! Real people recognize that. Rebuke the haters! 🙏🏻 💕
Totally.
❤️🙏
❤️🙏
Exactly!
Exactly!
I'm so glad you did this video Lilly even though you didn't have to...many North Americans don't understand other cultures and judge..unfortunately many ppl think America's standard of living is The best but look at the stressful lives they live to maintain that. And the lifestyle can't be maintained unless you're wealthy so when you're old they retire to the cheaper countries with a less stressful lifestyle. I'm from the Caribbean and many of us have family nannies who we've helped to get homes so when they retire they have somewhere comfortable. Some nannies even get to travel to other countries if we can get visas for them. I'm sure if Nam could get a passport you'll take her too one day. Living and working in America can be just as hard and the abuse is subtle. Corporate America can be unkind and ppl are afraid of losing their jobs for minor infractions. When you become an executive in corporate America you work more hours than Nam with less fun. There are pros and cons to consider with every nation and culture. The only safe place is In Christ no matter where we live physically. Trust God Lilly and don't worry about the negative criticism... there's a big difference between kind constructive suggestions and mean controlling judgementalism. ❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏
Lilly, you and Wat provide a beautiful home for Nam. Also give her funds that I'm sure she helps her family. That is what the Lord wants 🙏 you to do. You're a beautiful person, good wife and great Momma. People will always have something to say. The Lord will protect you and your family honey. ✝️ ❤
Agree completely!! ❤
I so agree and as long as she is doing what God asks of her and she and her husband are in agreement then the opinions of outsiders don’t matter!
Hi Lily. I’m Australian, my brother has been visiting Thailand on and off with his Thai wife for years. They met when he was on holidays in Thailand about 10 years ago. They are in Thailand at present and return to Australia on the 30th. I have been there once in 2008 and loved it. Their fruit is to die for too! Really friendly people.
My brother and his wife lived there for a while, bought some land and built a small house. They have land on a beach which my brother hopes to build a restaurant one day.
This time Nam is the star . She is the pillar of the family❤❤❤❤
❤️🙏
Yea, who gave Nam money n food n clothing...it’s Lilly who is the one earning the money to feed everyone otherwise Nam would be astray on her own n maybe living in poverty. Nam is so blessed to have Lilly to look after her too. The pillar of the family is Lilly not Nam.
I know how it feels when people who don’t know you will say critical things about you that they don’t understand. To me it looks like you all are a family, Nam a sister to you. I believe you are blessed to have each other. Praying for you and your family as you live the life you choose. Blessings to you all.
I am super proud of you Lili! You continue to work and provide for Wat, kiddos and have lovingly brought Nam into your family and provide for her too. She would never have been able to enjoy the experiences that being a part of your family has afforded her. I don't think Nam sees it as work, which people do not understand.
❤️🙏
Lilly, I am from a third world country and it is clear to me that Nam is loved and well taken care of. She also adores your family and you have her as a "sister" for life. The issue with the bed was never something that stood out to me as in my family we always switch around when others come to visit based on what they can manage e.g., some take the bed, some the couch, some the ground and some the blow up beds but you asking Nam to switch came off as nothing to me as I myself can only sleep on beds and soft ones at that. Don't let people affect you! Keep doing what you are doing, helping those who need it, spread the word and raise your family with love, compassion and support! Wishing you a great 2023 Lilly and Fam!!
I guess you open yourself to negative comments when people get a narrow view of your public postings. However, we see you as a beautiful family coping (and thriving) with what life throws your way during pandemic times and, as you say often, Nam “holds it together”. She is clearly an integral part of your family and everyone respects her for her contributions! Hold onto your dreams of buying land and building those houses; that would be so lovely!!!
The love you and your family have for Nan shows. You treat her so well, and both you and Nan are grateful for each other..Nam is always smiling in the videos Ive watched, she always looks so happy.
I just recently came upon your channel, thank you for sharing your beautiful family and life with us.
We thank you for taking care Nam as your family members. There are more
Mynmar people still suffering in their country.
❤️🙏
To me nam feels like she an aunt, big sister to the kid's it does not feel like work to her that's why she looks confused by all the questions lily was asking. Getting someone to trust with your kids are a god send. I know you cherish her Lily.
Lily please dont get triggered about what negative people have to say. You give so much love to Nam & your family. Wat seems to be an introvert & therefore speaks less but he is a loving father & family man. God bless you all.
So proud of your adorable kids. They’re gonna be great Thai citizens.. They will be proud of American mother .. Just ignore other people criticizing…Everyone is different..Everyone has his/her own ways of living…Keep up the good works..I know Nam is so blessed to live with your family..!
We live in the UK and don’t keep our eggs in the fridge. You are a lovely family . I trained to be a Nannie and was one for over 10 years with different family’s and in Holland ,Denmark , France , Belgium and U K . Nan is great and you are a lovely family xxx
❤️🙏
Thanks for your lovely videos. Your channel is my favourite.
I think Naam is lucky to be with you, as life in Mianmar (as well as in so many places all over the world) is so terrible to live in. Naam works for you, makes her living in a protected environment exactly like a family member, and being able to support her all family in her country.
Don't pay attention to all those good souls who tell you provocative - self-righteous comments.
Love from Israel!
Nam is blessed to have you and Wat. You can see she is happy and grateful for everything you do for her.
Lili, you don't have to worry about minority reviews. Nam is happy to work and be with you, eapecially you look after her like your own family. Eat together, enjoy together, no separation no division, you have looked after Nam very well. You treat her like a relative and most importantly, Nam is happy to take care of your family. Don't let the words of silly people destroy the friendship between you and Nam. Stay strong and continue to enjoy your lovely family in Koh Samui as much as you can.
❤️🙏
Many people compare themselves to Nam and have a lack of knowledge about other cultures. It is very obvious that she loves what she does and especially when you hear her say "what would I do" (if I wasn't here.) You were so sweet to take her for a massage. She is more than a employee, she is family. That is obvious. Blessings to you all!
I applaud you for helping Nam to self-care and I applaud Nam for accepting to care for herself. God continue to bless you both and your families. 🙏🏼❤️
❤️🙏
This might have been said already in the 1,000 comments, but if eggs are fresh and have never been refrigerated, they last for months on the counter. If they are massed produced and have been washed, then they must be refrigerated. No one can know a life through a 20 minute video, I'm just glad you share those 20 minutes with us. They are so much fun! Americans do not know Thai culture, me included. I do sleep separately from my hubby though, and we adore each other. I just don't adore his snoring and running in his sleep! Love your videos.
I know I am late to the party on this video, but your comment on eggs was startling. Having traveled the world I know that eggs that aren't refrigerated are common. However your comment that they are good for "months" is completely false. In fact they are good for right around 2- 3 weeks, no where near "months". On the other side, refrigerated eggs are good for months....so I think you got that info reversed. 🙂
This is really heart breaking that these evil ass people will do anything for money and power. It's crazy how most of us in America take a lot of things for granted. Anyhow, I believe that you can make your dream comes true Lilly. Wish you and your families nothing but good health and prosperity. 🙏🙏🙏
❤️🙏
The light and love you and Nam have for each other is evident. Silence the noise! People are jealous and lonely for what you have.
❤️🙏
Lilly, Nam is a big part of your videos. Focus on the beautiful memories she is making with your babies and family. Don’t let the few ignorant people take that away from you. Thanks for educating about Burma.
Lilly, I absolutely love watching your videos and your amazing family. I think what matter most is what works for you, Wat and your precious children. No one else has to understand or accept as they are not you. I know watching a video people think they know all about you and they know better than you. That’s just life and the way it will always be. Keep living and loving and sharing some of your life with us. I think you are making a difference and I know opening minds to new life ❤️
Nam is a blessing and it's really obvious that you understand that. Love to all of you!
Thank you so much Lily for speaking up and raising awareness of the situation in our country Burma. International audiences need to know and understand the real situation in Burma/Myanmar. It’s taking place every day up to this day.
Love watching your channel, it gives me a nice vibe. The bk ground song is amazing to listen.🙏🤗
❤️🙏
I think your relationship with Nam is pretty special. She's actually become an integral part of your family. She's a special lady and you are very fortunate to have her. I've been wondering if her responsibilities will change once you open the restaurant. Much love ❤ to you and your family. One last thing...loved seeing Wat sleeping in the midst of all the activity. You definitely found a keeper. Lol.
I like how you treat Nam like a part of your family. People in the West don't understand how common it is to have a nanny or a housekeeper in Asia. She's definitely not treated badly. I was in Myanmar in 2020 and I fell in love with it, but it's definitely an impoverished country with a lot of issues right now- I hope things change there soon, the people there are some of the most wonderful and kept a piece of my heart with them.
I live in China, and every expat here has a housekeeper or nanny.
❤️🙏
I live in SA 🇿🇦 and many, many families have a nanny, not only middle- or high income families.
Nam is lucky to have you, Lilly. She experiences a far better life, eats in places she would never have access to, wears beautiful clothes and travels to places she would never travel to but for you and Wat. She takes care of your kids, but you are also very generous with her, Lilly. Nam won the lottery with you and your family. The home cooked food you prepared looks so healthy and delicious!! You are such a loving mother and wife. Blessings to you and your family.
Yess she needs day off, holidays also to visit son and relatives.God bless your beautiful soul Lily
Lilly you are a so lovely multicultural family! Your style of living is so inspiring, calm and peaceful! I feel blessed by following you here! I believe that only narrow minded people can't see that. Nanny is blessed having in your family and she is a bless to you! That's what I can observe! Praise our good Lord!🙌🏽
Beautiful Lilly, you do not have to explain yourself to anyone. You are truly an amazing person, you and Nam have a precious relationship. Her life is much better because of you and your husband, all of you treat her like a family member. I have traveled around the world and I have seen how some people abuse domestic workers and unfortunately there are no laws to protect them. May God watch and protect the people living in Myanmar. 🙏🙏🙏🙏 prayers for the whole world 🌎❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🌎🌎
To me Nam looks very happy! She seems to enjoy being a nanny and is good at it. I grew up from 12 -19 in Indonesia. I'm Canadian. My dad worked there.I loved growing up in Indonesia. We were expected to have a driver, gardener , housekeeper etc. It was to give jobs to the people there and we paid better than most jobs they could get. We cared a lot about them and respected them. When we move back to Canada they were crying and we were as well. My Dad did make sure they all had jobs with other people before we left. We did travel around Thailand for a vacation and it was beautiful .We stayed mainly in Pattaya. I didn't realize how bad things are in Burma
Nam will smile and agree with anything you say. She's so kind but let's be honest, watching someone's kids can be stressful. Bless her spirit.
❤️🙏
Nam choose to be a nanny, she gets good food, safe home to live in, new dresses, money... or she can choose to work elsewhere constantly in the battlefield in the outside world, who is more stressful.. Lilly who has to earn money to feed her or Nam who gets fed? Wat helps to look after his kids too, Nam does not do it on her own...stop making Lilly feel bad.
@@asummer9460 my comment had ZERO to do with Lily. The comment was talking about Nam. I lived and worked in Thailand for 3 years in Chiang Mai. Thai people will always smile and never express their true feelings to save face no matter how uncomfortable they are. They don't want to rock the boat or cause conflict. Nam seems happy in front of the cameras but it feels performative. Lily often has to coach or tell Nam to be "happy" whenever the camera is on. She instantly turns on and starts giggling. It feels fake. I can see why Wat stays off camera. He's not going to fake it and perform as a happy dancing Thai to appease to the western viewers who are under the impression they can just move to Thailand and get the locals to do everything for them. Thai people aren't servants.
Women like Nam don't strive to be nannies ..it's probably the only job she can get. And trust me..they aren't getting paid a lot just because Lily has a big UA-cam channel. If Nam was earning a lot, she would definitely quit and go back to her own country. Farang always take advantage of the locals. I unsubscribed to this channel cause I got tired of seeing her force Nam to be happy on the camera. It's fake. I won't watch anymore content.
@@CuratedVibes I think you have a one track mind the way you spoke about farangs taking advantage of Thai people. First of all, Nam is not Thai, she is Burmese and of course she can’t earn a lot because which employer will pay for your housing, food and travel as well as high wages? If she can earn a lot she would not be a live in nanny... she would find a high pay job and live with her son & family in her own country, why would she live in another country and far away from her family and you may be right, Nam may not like to be exposed to the camera and maybe had to smile for the Camera but she knows very well by helping her employer Lilly to earn money on YT, she is also helping herself otherwise Lilly can’t afford to pay her and she would have to find another job. And who knows the other Employer could be abusive to her, could use her more and slavery to her as she needs the money to feed her family in Burma so what’s wrong with that?
If you could see why she choose to work for Lilly for so many years because she knew Lilly will treat her right and her safety to live with them, Thai is not her country... safety is important for her ie she could be raped, she could be made into brothel, other unthinkable evil out there cuz she is alone in Thai so she knew Lilly & her family well so she has faith to stay with her for so many years. Never assume how she felt...happy nor unhappy because we are not Nam, what u saw is only a moment of her. You subscribed because you wanted to watch Lilly and her family not Nam.. Nam is only an extras in this film production. Get things right and not all westerners are using Thai people because wherever you go whichever country the locals would serve the tourists because they need them for their Economy...so do not condemn with narrow mind. The world is huge to explore and there’s good n bad in every race.
@@CuratedVibes she is no slave she is treated with kindness.
Bless you Lilly for your love for others and giving Nam and her family a good life and sharing your blessings with others. It’s what life is all about and thanks for sharing that with us. 🙏🙏
Look
I think you are a beautiful woman, inside and out. The way you have taken Nam under your wing , so to speak, to me is a wonderful way to keep her with job, you with help in childcare. If she, Nam, didn't love you and your family she wouldn't stay with you as long as she has. I consider her as much a part of your family as I do your mom. My opinion, my outlook on this issue. Love you all so much. God's Blessings always. From SC, USA
Lilly, I'm from England. I LOVE your videos ! You and Nam have such a lovely, mutually respective relationship and it's wonderful to see you sharing your life and your children. Ignore the unkind comments. Hugs from England 🤗
Hi Lilly and family 🎄 whatever works for you and Watt is perfectly fine ❤️💙
❤️🙏
Lilly you have a heart of gold but you mustn't let what ignorant people think & say cause you to feel badly about yourself. I love watching & learning about other cultures. No judgment. 🤗
Thank you for sharing some of Nam's story. It's hard to comprehend such atrocities going on in her home country, when we are so privileged. I love the relationship you both have,she is like a sister, who adores those kids. I pray your dream of the land for all the family comes into fruition, that the Lord keep you and your family safe with travelling mercies,and may your cup always be full, in Jesus name.🙏
Don’t let people get to you. It is very clear that Nam loves to be a part of your family. I am guessing people making these stupid comments have never traveled to these other countries and have no real understanding of life outside of their own little world. You have greatly enhanced Nan’s life. She is included as a family member and knows she is loved, cared for and safe. It’s a perfect fit for your family and for Nam. Thank you for sharing your life with us. Have a great day❤️

Love this video where you share more about Nam’ county of Myanmar 🇲🇲. You are right , US media unfortunately does not show countries really bad oppressors. I work at major bank where I learn international news and my line of work to understand which countries are sanctioned because of inhumane treatment of their people. Knowing some of this information, I’m sure Nam is grateful to have a job, and helping her family . I pray you and her can help her family move to Thailand where it’s safe.thank you Lily for another beautiful and educational video. Enjoy your massage Nam ❤🙏🏽🤗
I see Nam as part of your family and your family is so very precious. Thanks for being willing to let strangers to peek in on your lives. I know it truly is a sacrifice! One wish I have is to come there and to give you a hug. I truly can see Yeshua radiate through your being my dear sister! 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻

Don't get triggered so easily, dear Lily. The most important thing is that you're both really happy. Nobody should judge you, they can't even see your heart and inner feelings...don't bother with those negative comments...you're doing good! Everytime i enjoy your vlogs and your family..i can see the love you have for each and one of them...i love how you treat Nam with respect and love her like your own sister...Again: You're doing great! Lots of love from me to your family, Blessings from Suriname, a small country in South America❤
I hope Nam talks to her son every day and prays with him too. It's nice that you are giving her a relaxing day. God is good.
Sending all of you love and hugs!!! You should never ever have to explain your way of life to anyone who lives a different way…
When watching your videos, it's obvious to me that you and Nam have developed a true friendship and yes she works for you but that is something that works for both of you. She loves the children and seems genuinely happy.
❤️🙏
It must be hard for Nam to be away from her son. Lila is starting to look more like Leon.😊
Lilly, you are employing and providing for an entire family not just Nam… you are obviously a wonderful, successful, empowered woman… I hope YOU are as appreciated as you appreciate Nam… I also hope Wat appreciates you too! Although I can see Wat is also a very attentive man for his family 🌸🇦🇺💕
Nam is the kindest and happiest person I have ever seen....!!!! Your friendship are so unique..
คุณวัตรถ้าจะให้ดีพูดภาษาไทยกับลูกๆของคุณให้เขาได้เรียนรู้ภาษาไทยพูดไทยเข้าใจไทยเพราะถ้าพวกคุณคิดจะอยู่ที่ไทยถาวร จะทำให้เด็กๆใช้ชีวิตง่ายขึ้น เพราะคนไทยส่วนมากไม่เข้าใจภาษาอังกฤษ
Here in Portugal,they also don't keep eggs in the fridge.My husband sleeps with lights on,with tv on,on the floor,I even found him one time sitting on a chair in front of the fridge with the door open and he was .......sleeping.When he was younger he didn't like to sit on the sofa but instead rather on the floor.Incredible for us.They are noise deaf,I also don't understand it.I think you're treating Nam well.But then she is an authentic jewel!!!So good for your kid's and so handy with everything and no complaining.Love her!She deserves the very best!
How old is nam's son I think you treat her wonderful she is definitely a part of your family you could see that and the love that she feels for you and your family I think that was good she went for a massage and do the little special things for her is wonderful
Looking at Nam, i knew she is very happy working for Lilly. Nam is always smiling n cheerful. I am very sure Lilly, being a follower of Jesus n our heavenly Father, will treat everyone well.
❤️🙏
I don’t understand why Lilly’s husband always looks so miserable having a such a beautiful wife and kids. I don’t care about how he looks but the energy that he transmits in regular basis, is like he is always disappointed or upset. Thank God the nanny is always around and always happy!!!
I think he's shy.
I like Wat, but I'm more of an introvert, and I see myself in him. I also see that sweet Leon may end up an introvert as well (maybe). In my opinion, the introvert plays just as an important role in this world. So, I don't think he's miserable, he may be exhausted by being on camera or tired of being "on" all of the time. Some of us need to unplug and reboot. I date an extrovert and I often disappear into the background or choose not to participate because being center stage is not what I want but I don't want to stop those that are into the festivities. So, (((hugs))) to Wat. I also see Nam as a possible introvert as well... IMO, introverts have superpowers and could someday save the world! 😄🤗🤩
He is not miserable. Please be kind.
Depressed?..
Oh my gosh quit the judging comments. People don’t have to smile all the time. Lilly your family is blessed and highly favored. They are the heads and not the tails and above and not beneath. The Lord’s fave shine upon you and your family
Lily, while back I said something about Leon and I've seen you engage with him and love on him and it dawned on me I can't judge because we don't what happens after outside the vlogs. I take my hat out for you, you are doing such an amazing job and I also wanted to say that I'm sold, I want to acknowledge how a great mom and vlogger you are. You have given us daily consistent content. I pray that the Lord blesses you and sees your effort and strength. I know it is not easy to do the blogs we get 20 mins vlogs, seems like it's easy but I know it is not, it takes 8hrs of editing. So my hat out to you Lily. I will always be true and give credit where credit is due. You are doing great and I promise it will pay off and I pray for Gods blessings in your life and family for generations to come!
Hello Lilly . You treat Nam really good just like one of your family members. Maybe Nam gets one day off. Just have her time to do what she’s want . Maybe just do nothing and have her alone time. I have raise all 4 grown boys and l still just need one day off to have my time just to relax and do nothing.
Thanks have a blessed day !
❤️🙏
I am from Myanmar too. And I want to say she is good for you .She is kind .
Lilly don't worry about pleasing people. Don't let people's negative comments get to you. Do what's best for your family & forget the rest. Prayers for getting that house!
❤️🙏
Lilly I love watching your family ( and that includes Nam ) I look forward to it and even got my husband watching you too. Don’t let people get to you, people just enjoying being mean online. You and your family are beautiful. They don’t understand that Nam is part of your family not just your nanny. Please keep doing you and having a great life and making your wonderful videos. ❤ love you guys!
It is so good to hear Luke say he is a Thai boy ... ever since he came back from America, it seemed like he was ashamed of being Thai. He stopped speaking Thai, while on video at least. I always wondered if someone made him feel bad for being Thai when he came to America. At any rate, I'm happy to see him embrace his Thai culture. I think it helps when he hears you speaking and embracing the culture as well. Love watching your videos.
I attend to agree. It could very well be that he felt outsider in the USA. It's common in kids of mixed race to feel a kind of inability to relate to one particular, especially when he is the only one who looks different from the rest. It's quiet early that they can feel isolated from one particular group. Since Lule is looking very Thai, naturally he will feel that Thailand is more comforting than the USA.
It will probably be the same for Liala, as she too does look very Thai. Whereas Leon is the only one who is looking more of a mixed race.
My guess that Leon in the future would be more relaxed about his identity.
He's 5 guys not 10...remember at 5 you only feel bad if kids don't play with you.
@@deniseetchegoinberry1060 yep, my thoughts exactly. He’s only 5. Those concepts don’t come to play yet.
@@deniseetchegoinberry1060 Thank you that's exactly,what I was thinking..
usually when a child in Thailand has a farang parent they are not registered as Thai citizens so are these kids the same ???
Lily...ignore negative comments. I believe Nam is happy to be with your family, full of smile and happiness in her face. She is lucky to be in
your family and you are also lucky to have Nam to help you out. God bless your family ❤.
Lily I appreciate your videos so much! It is fascinating to see the Thai culture through your eyes. I think you have a beautiful relationship with Nam full of trust. Outside comments can be triggering but sometimes it can lead to a few small changes that can benefit everyone. But it is obvious that Nam could come to you and talk frankly if she had any concerns. You have a genuine friendship and a wonderful working relationship.
How can anyone not see how happy is Nam! She is loved and respected by all of you. No one laugh so beautifully if they are unhappy ❤
well said!
Eggs have a protective coating that is washed off in most store-bought eggs in the US. Because of this, they need refrigeration. However, if you raise your own chickens, the eggs you gather fresh will still have their protective coating. A general rule, UNWASHED eggs will last around two weeks unrefrigerated and about three months or more in your refrigerator.
We currently live in Munich and they also don’t refrigerate the eggs. The eggs are also much less likely to crack while boiling because the shells aren’t weakened by the cleaning.
Lilly I lost my 39 yr old daughter in a car accident, I watch you and think of her and it brings me joy to see your kids , I can’t believe how lonely I get with her gone ,you are a super awesome mom and wife
Please accept a hug from England... 🤗
Lilly, I can completely relate to you. My husband is from Indonesia. At our house, I insisted on having beds as I could not sleep on the floor and they had mats as well. At the family home when all of us come together from all the islands, we sleep on mats. It hurts my back tremendously. YES, the Burmese story is heartbreaking. The same thing is happening in Pakistan as far as harvesting of organs, starving people out, etc. Lilly, the most important thing is you are together My husband and kids have to be apart. Financially, I have to work in the US and am here with one daughter as she finishes up university. The last time I saw my husband was in April. We understand the sacrifice we have to make for the family. Our faith in Christ keeps us going. We said, if we don't see each other again on earth, we shall see each other in heaven. Enjoy your every minute you can be together. Nam is blessed to have you and your blessed to have her. Your a treasure!
Im lifting you up in prayer Vichelle!
Why you don't see your hubby since April? Why your hubby didnt come along with you to US?
@@travellovers3576 Could be many things...elders to protect and provide for, older children with family of their own, to keep possession of assets until wife can return, important job/position, health reasons, political reasons in USA (visa, green card, etc.)...I'm sure Vichelle and her family thought long and hard about this decision. Pray for them, bless them, love them unconditionally.
haha miss lily got guilted into taking care of nam w her false pretenses and sneaky ads..ugh
My husband and I live in his home country of Micronesia. In 2020 I went back to my home country of the US for medical and to help our college aged daughter. My youngest teenage daughter was still in school and my husband was working and taking care of her and they couldn’t come with me. Covid happened and a week before I was scheduled to fly back to Micronesia they shut their borders! I was stuck in the US apart from my husband and my daughter for 17 months. I understand how hard it is. I will keep you in prayer. Remember God has a plan and He sees and knows what’s happening. 🙏🏼
Lily you are a blessing to Nam, atleast she can support her family by working or staying with your and your family
Lilly, I just love your spirit and simplicity. You are really living an organic lifestyle, no drama. I can see your good heart reflecting on your family. God’s abundance blessings upon you and yours. Keep on keeping on.
The nanny is such a gift from God. She always has a smile on her face and always seems so happy and thankful
Nam is clearly treated as family, but people have to remember that she is also still employed by Lilly; what Nam is doing is a common job to take on for south eastern asians i.e. some filipino women go to the Middle East to be live-in nannies just so they can earn better money and support their family. It's completely reasonable for Lilly to ask Nam if it's okay they switch beds; also, don't underestimate how comforting or how okay it actually is for people to sleep on the floor or on hard beds, especially if it's how they used to sleep at home with family. And from what I've seen watching Lilly's videos, Nam and Lilly seems to have a comfortable and close relationship where Nam seems like she's able to say if she's unhappy with something. The fact that Nam seems happy with Lilly + family and that she finds what she's doing fun/easy is a blessing; and the fact she's employed by people who consider her as family must be such a big help for when she feels lonely, since it seems like her family is in Myanmar. All the best to this family + Nam!
I`m glad to see you spoil Nam now, she really deserves that. Some viewers mentioned how lucky Nam is, well the same goes for you and Watt. People like Nam, who are in need, should not be treated like we are doing them a favour, rather than giving them a better way of life. It was nice to hear about your plans for the future, including Nam`s family. I don`t think anybody is jealous or envious of you at all, I`m happy you got Nam, your whole family is so lucky to have her. Nam is your friend and support system all in one, without her your life would be much harder, but you know that. One more thing, giving Nam her first Mattress to sleep on, is not really worth mentioning, compared to what she brings to the table. By the way, you have the most adorable kids, you are blessed in so many ways!💌
You treat Nam like a sister and best friend.
❤️🙏
Hi Lilly! I love watching you all the time especially with Nam. I just finally subscribed on your channel.
Lilly I love the way you treat Nam as family! She really reserves being well treated, she's your family's Angel😇. She is so sweet ! I wish more "Nams" existem in this world. Wish you all a WONDERFUL new year 2023♥️🙏🙏🙏
I have 6 year old Twin girls, I wish I had a Nam! You and Wat are an Amazing couple! I watch all your videos and you can tell that Nam is Happy. People will always have something negative to say when their own lives aren’t going as good as the next persons life. You guys take very good care of your 3 Children’s plus Nam. When they say it takes a village to raise kids it’s the truth, and what you’ve shown us is your Village, you, Wat and Nam!
Hi Lilly, my name is Rick and I am from the Netherlands (Europe) and every now and then Ii watch your Ko Samui vlogs. I saw your vlog and you want to now about the eggs in or outside the fridge, in the Netherlands most people store them in the fridge, I do too. And about your relationship I can only tell you that you have to do what you feel is good for you, do not listen to all the comments of others who do not understand you. I think you have 3 beautiful kids and together with your husband you look happy. I think you are a sensitive woman who has doubts sometimes about life etc. etc. but who doesn't. So I wish you and your family all the best and good health for 2023, greetins from Rick
Eggs can be stored outside the refrigerator for weeks but not as long as inside the refrigerator.
Girl, you keep doing you! So proud of your family and the life you've made. I love your videos! So much love comes through. 💓 Hugs, hugs, hugs to all of you!
Nam looks very happy living and working with you and being part of your family. As a family we don’t get days off from being a family but have time away to do what we would like to if we want to. I pray that Nam’s family are safe and her son will be able to come and work there on the island and be close to her. Thank you for the video and telling us about what is happening in Nam’s country. Stay safe and continue being a happy family.
That's true.We only get to see a tiny bit of your family on a video and yet there are people who think they know what your family looks like. For me I enjoy watching your videos..I think they are interesting and fun to watch different cultures connect , kids growing up.,food and places your family travels.Interesting even if, for only tiny glimpses of them. Thank you for sharing .God bless you and family and Nam.🌸❤️
I believe you all are very blessed to have each-other. I can’t wait to be able to visit one day! May God continue blessing your whole family! You’re doing an amazing 🤩 job! We benefit just learning of such a beautiful culture. Thank you so much for all the beautiful things you share!!!
Thank you for sharing your life with us . I can’t wait to watch your video’s..Num is a blessing to have in your families life. I see Wat as being shy I also think Wat don’t won’t to get his hopes up on buying the house and get disappointed God Bless you and your Family and Num which she is family .. Thanks for sharing some of Num life’s . I can’t wait to meet her son I know she is excited ..The kiddos are growing so fast . Stay strong Lily don’t let people get you down your doing such a awesome job with everyone ❤️
How sad Nan’s son isn’t with her, particularly if it’s so dangerous in Burma. There are schools in Thailand. He should be safe.
Yes in Malaysia we must to give 1 day off to our helpers/Nanny. my Nanny from Indonesia, every year I bought her flight ticket to going back to her hometown
