Your new project will be an incredible resource! I felt isolated and sometimes ridiculed when I quit working when my first child was born over 22 years ago. I feel like a pioneer when I see the next generation of new moms staying home and embracing homemaking. I am a mom of five now and am still homeschooling my youngest two.
I love this! I am the first tone home in 4 generations on my mom's side! It's been a journey and I have been blessed with a beautiful and wonderful mother in law who had been an amazing example, so I am loving this new direction of yours!
I am proud that my mom was able to be a stay at home mom. It's so important for children to have their mom around. It truly sets the boundaries at what is not acceptable behavior. I am not a mom. But i do want to now explore this channel.. I will always read your articles.
Hurray for homeschooling! Good luck with every new endeavor. We would love to see updates on the journey. I'm so glad you're encouraging stay at home moms, it's so necessary. God bless you!
Aw, I will miss you. But I totally understand! You're a great mom. That is what is most important! Your kids are blessed to have you. (And your husband.) I hope if/when you have more kids you will at least make a quick announcement video here. You don't even have to put on makeup. ;) I won't lie, the last, "Byyyyyee!" made me a bit weepy.
Oh no! So bittersweet. Family comes first. I'm glad you're still finding a creative outlet in writing. It's great you're still so passionate and want to help other new mothers. ❤
I’m really sad to lose this corner of yours on YT, but also really glad that you are focusing on your priorities. I am a SAHM of 5 and also a homeschool mom as of last year. So this niche you are creating is very much my community ❤❤❤
I think a more honest reason would be that the effort wasn’t worth the income generated. The promo alone must have been draining the bank pretty hard and it never really took off. She expected more sponsorships and viewers for sure.
Based Camp with Simone and Malcom Collins had a great video explaining why this channel never took off, and a big part of it was the title: "Classical" is not relatable or even enviable. And it sounds pretentious.
I was a stay at home mom and I homeschooled my kids. I loved it!! We were blessed to be able to travel quite a bit, so my kids got some amazing history and nature education. You'll find so many good sources as you learn and explore your new mission!! Will miss your channel, but so happy for you:]
I appreciate your view and I fully understand the shift to a better platform that fits your actual life rather than playing it out for UA-cam just to keep the appearances. I’m going to be honest, I can’t afford to pay to access the community in the long run at this time, but I’ll see what you have in mind first. Maybe I’ll find something in my budget. Take care! I love what you do.
Completely understand and agree! Number one mission! My mom stayed home for me and I REALLY appreciated it! Was thankful to be able to do the same for my children. As everyone says - time flies by soooo quickly. Now in my 50s there is a true and real pain mixed with joy when kids start to launch but I have no regrets about time raising and bonding with them.
This is the second channel on UA-cam that has said goodbye. Both are young Moms, so while I'm sad that Classically Abby and the other channel won't be returning, their departure from UA-cam for motherhood is absolutely commendable. Go with God, Abby---- raise strong, intelligent and common sense Human beings. Those are the people who will be harder to find in this world .
I was so lucky to be a part of your book club and look forward to enjoying your content in whatever capacity you choose! I will see you at the Substack ❤
With profound admiration and respect, I turn my attention to Abby Shapiro, a remarkable individual who embodies elegance, intelligence, and a steadfast dedication to timeless values. Through her graceful presence and thoughtful commentary, she serves as a beacon of inspiration, reminding us of the beauty of embracing tradition in a world often swept away by fleeting trends. "I venerate you," Abby, for your ability to celebrate femininity, family, and faith with such poise and confidence. Your dedication to preserving classical ideals while navigating the modern world reflects a deep understanding of the importance of tradition and cultural identity. Whether sharing insights on modesty, motherhood, or the joys of living a life centered on strong principles, you continue to inspire countless individuals to strive for a life of purpose and virtue. Your influence extends beyond your words, reaching into the hearts of those seeking to reconnect with enduring truths. Through your unique perspective, you encourage a revival of appreciation for the values that anchor our lives and uplift our communities. May your work continue to flourish, and may you remain a powerful voice for the timeless principles that define true beauty and integrity.
Thinking there's a strong chance, there. If nothing else, it'll be occasional, she already has the infrastructure in place (cam, mic, apps config'd, etc.), it'll be too easy to run into inspo and fire off a short, bare minimum.
I’m going to miss this channel. I felt like it was really something that was needed for younger women because everything from the other side is so degenerative. I’m glad you can focus on your family and realize how important it is to put your children first. Truly classic
I completely understand, Abby! I feel like you and I went through our life journies together. Our weddings, pregnancies, and life. If you ever feel inspired to share something on here, please do! We will totally accept you and be here for you. From time to time I get burst of inspiration for different things. So if you decide to do small snippets of what you do a few days at a time and put them together for us, or modest outfits of the day, that would be so cool too. Of course, when you get the chance to! You are an amazing mother to choose your family first thank you for being a great example! We love you!
Another reason this is so important is because it is hard to find stay at home moms in your own community. I am currently the only stay at home mom I know, and it can be a bit lonely. I am looking forward to the new content!
Thank you for everything you have shared. Much appreciated! You are an amazing woman! All the best to you and your family. I especially liked your encouragement to women to be modest. God bless ya'll!
It's been cool to see you grow up Abby! You've really changed and it was really amazing to see you become a mother. I also became a mother during that time and I really identified with your journey. :) Great idea about starting a community for first generation stay at home moms! I'm also a homeschooling mom (my mom was at home though) and I think it would be really beneficial for women. Good luck with your new journey and thank you for sharing your life with us!
Gonna miss getting your pov on UA-cam but makes sense. Family and what makes you happy comes first. Please share any channels you’d recommend that are similar (traditional/conservative pov but not super aggressive about it. Still light and fun :)). Who knows when your kids are all grown up maybe we’ll see classically Abby revived one day!
Congratulations, and thanks for the great journey on this channel. Your kids will benefit from your commitment even more than you yet know! My wife left a lucrative job to be a full-time mom and homeschool teacher to our twin daughters. BEST CHOICE EVER!!! Good luck, and may God continue to bless you and your beautiful family!!!
You’ll be missed but that’s what being a parent is all about; it’s refreshing to see it from a perspective that doesn’t see being a SAH mom as the end of all joy and freedom
ABBY! Excited to see where this new chapter takes you. I am such a fan! I also want to homeschool my boy eventually so I can't wait to learn from you and find a community of women doing the same!
So glad that you are putting your kids first. The transition will definitely take time and patience with yourself and your kids. It will be worth it. I am a homeschool mom and love it. It’s been a growing experience but I feel at peace with it. It is the right thing to do. God will help guide you. I am excited for you to join the homeschooling community! We really enjoy mixing the ideals of The Well Educated Heart and The Good and the Beautiful curriculums. They teach about finding beauty in nature and classical music and art was well as giving thanks to God for creating it. May God bless you on your new journey!
I don’t know if I’m technically a 1st Gen SAHM as my grandmothers were not “working” outside the home as is currently typical today, but I barely had any influence/advice from them. One of my sisters also stayed at home until her kids were both in school. I also want to home school and I want to be better about traditional homemaking. I’m so excited for this!! Thank you, Abby!
Congratulations! I am in my 60s, and homeschooled my children when many people had no clue what that even meant. My mom worked full-time, so I can relate to forging your own path with being a SAHM. I also understand about the content. I'm in the opposite end of the life spectrum with taking care of my 93-year-old mom, and filming videos is tough. I'm doing a hybrid approach with both a blog and YT channel. I can write even in my jammies, and interruptions (which happen all the time with my mom) just don't bother me as much when I'm writing. It's definitely an easier medium for doing in the middle of everything else going on. As you have time, you might want to also consider writing books, since that can also be done in the margins of life.
I am happy that you decided to start a UA-cam channel and share your values with everyone. I was able to see from a different point of view and I've definitely learned a positive thing or 2 from you, Abby. I will definitely apply the knowledge gained to my life 🩷
I’m extremely liberal but I’ve enjoyed your older video as a traditional (yet liberal) woman. Thank you for the experience and viewpoints you have shared
How is a lifestyle dependent on a provider sustainable? That's the opposite of that word. I have no problem with women seeking a more traditional lifestyle, but ffs, stop using buzzwords to justify it.
The one area which I hope is discussed is having education and some work experience, even if volunteer work. With our eldest children I went to law school and worked. We did want a larger family, and I always had the idea of staying home at some point in my head. When I had our younger children (one son then twin sons just 11 months later), I stayed home. One morning I woke and like was shattered. My husband died while I slept. Just 4 weeks later, my mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Thankfully we did plan financially for emergency so I was able to stay home with the children through grief and care for my mother until death, but if I didn't have my education and work history, we would have been in a scary place. I have met so many women who were left suddenly left widowed, unable to support their children on minimum wage jobs because they have no education or work experience. It's heartbreaking. Being a SAHM is great, but I also want women prepared for if their husband, and his income, is suddenly no longer there. Just have a plan.
I am so sorry to see you leave. When I first started watching as a young teenager, I was so enboldened by your concepts of modesty and dignity in dating and life that I have now grown up using this principles and honoring God with them. You are still the only person who has ever honored modesty online that I have seen, and, even though I have I been in and out of your channel for years, the idea that a good man would value me for my modesty has stuck with me into my young adulthood where I have been valued for my modesty. Thank you for the mark you have left on my teenage years.
Thank you so much for all the kind words. I am so glad you've been here to follow along. Feel free to follow me on my new Substack! I plan to share modest fashion inspo there as well ❤️

I'm going to miss them so bad. You know what I mean.
you're actually disgusting
ur so gross why do you write this stuff
Translation: the grift wasn’t grifting enough, so here’s my new grift
She could just get a real job lol
That’s exactly it. Abby tries a new grift every few months. None of them are ever successful
Like?@@annamolly2549
@antoniahall7507better than being a washed up grifter like her and her brother
Love that youre putting your kiddos first ❤️ looking forward to your new content!
Can't wait to see you over there!!
I am proud that my mom was able to be a stay at home mom. It's so important for children to have their mom around. It truly sets the boundaries at what is not acceptable behavior. I am not a mom. But i do want to now explore this channel.. I will always read your articles.
Milkbros...
It's fucking over
The ideas are pouring out of her.
how will we recover frens…
I just love how this is the comment with the most likes here :D
What does this mean?? Lol sorry I'm new around here
Good for you! Best of luck on your new journey.
Thank you so much! Follow along with my new project at thefirstgensahm.substack.com ❤️
I was a stay at home mom. Second generation. You can do this.
Free advice: BE THE CHANGE YOU HOPE TO SEE.!❤
Hurray for homeschooling! Good luck with every new endeavor. We would love to see updates on the journey. I'm so glad you're encouraging stay at home moms, it's so necessary. God bless you!
You should write a book about being classical and a good mother
That’s a great idea
Aw, I will miss you. But I totally understand! You're a great mom. That is what is most important! Your kids are blessed to have you. (And your husband.) I hope if/when you have more kids you will at least make a quick announcement video here. You don't even have to put on makeup. ;)
I won't lie, the last, "Byyyyyee!" made me a bit weepy.
Oh no! So bittersweet. Family comes first. I'm glad you're still finding a creative outlet in writing. It's great you're still so passionate and want to help other new mothers. ❤
I’m really sad to lose this corner of yours on YT, but also really glad that you are focusing on your priorities. I am a SAHM of 5 and also a homeschool mom as of last year. So this niche you are creating is very much my community ❤❤❤
Im udderly devastated
I think a more honest reason would be that the effort wasn’t worth the income generated. The promo alone must have been draining the bank pretty hard and it never really took off. She expected more sponsorships and viewers for sure.

Gonna miss your content. Always perked me up in the morning.

Wrote you a glowing review/preview on my Substack
Thank you Abby, early day listener. Spent a lot of time listening to you throughout the years. Thanks for sharing ❤
This is the second channel on UA-cam that has said goodbye. Both are young Moms, so while I'm sad that Classically Abby and the other channel won't be returning, their departure from UA-cam for motherhood is absolutely commendable. Go with God, Abby---- raise strong, intelligent and common sense Human beings. Those are the people who will be harder to find in this world .
what is the name of the other channel? Is Chelsea and Nick?
Good message to mums
Where will I get my calcium from?
We know what you wrote and you should be ashamed of yourself.
You have a cool profile pic @@ultralysp
pls come back abby. we need you
I was so lucky to be a part of your book club and look forward to enjoying your content in whatever capacity you choose! I will see you at the Substack ❤
The milks will return
rip goonfuel
😂😂😂nahhh
Well I'm drinking tonight.
I just fell to my knees… my favorite UA-camr, my reason for being is now departing like a forlorn love.
Hang in there bud, I know it hurts...
Thank you for the journey x

Ill stay subscribed in case you come back.
Thinking there's a strong chance, there. If nothing else, it'll be occasional, she already has the infrastructure in place (cam, mic, apps config'd, etc.), it'll be too easy to run into inspo and fire off a short, bare minimum.
Of course you decide to leave when I just found you
They cry out in pain as they strike you
Damn, I'll miss your videos, but looking forward to your new stuff! Take care!
Bless you Abby. I pray your next season grows abundantly with lots of wonderful experiences! 🌹💐🏵️ 🌺

Are you sad about all the money you wasted bombarding everyone with adds for your Classically Abby channel and it never took off?
Thank you so much for all your amazing content
This is bittersweet! Really have enjoyed your channel and book club was fun back in the day too
Another reason this is so important is because it is hard to find stay at home moms in your own community. I am currently the only stay at home mom I know, and it can be a bit lonely. I am looking forward to the new content!
Good job sharing your life and unique perspective with the world!
„Unique“
I’m grateful for what you have shared
Thank you for everything you have shared. Much appreciated! You are an amazing woman! All the best to you and your family. I especially liked your encouragement to women to be modest. God bless ya'll!
I feel like the market for first gen sahm is small because so many women can’t afford to stay home with their kids even if they wanted to
This is what privilege is
Spot on
It's been cool to see you grow up Abby! You've really changed and it was really amazing to see you become a mother.

I just heard of this channel came to check it out. Find out it’s been gone for three months. Oh well!

Our Golden Hour
You’re amazing. Family first.
Family is everything and your focus on that is awesome. Look forward to what you have to offer in the future.
Thanks also for the direct and official "good bye". This really helps with closure. 👋
Despite the ads the grift did not take off so now here is a new one for a very specific audience.
It's been a good ride. Thank you for your efforts. Wishing you the best.
So happy to see this kind of content. Much needed today.
I wish you the best for you and your family
Congratulations, and thanks for the great journey on this channel. Your kids will benefit from your commitment even more than you yet know! My wife left a lucrative job to be a full-time mom and homeschool teacher to our twin daughters. BEST CHOICE EVER!!!
Good luck, and may God continue to bless you and your beautiful family!!!
They will be missed.
I'll miss them
I've seen a lot of bad mothers in my short life and I can say the most attractive aspect of a woman is a great mother. Your husband is very lucky.
You helped. For that you have my thanks. Take care.
You’ll be missed but that’s what being a parent is all about; it’s refreshing to see it from a perspective that doesn’t see being a SAH mom as the end of all joy and freedom
It was a great journey. Glad you are putting family first! By that fact you are still leading by example
You can always pick it up later!
Thank you for speaking out about your values these last 5 years!
Will miss you, sending many blessings to you and your family. I will stick around in case you return sometime in the future. Best of luck! 🌹
The grift isn’t working anymore. Hasn’t been for quite some time
ABBY! Excited to see where this new chapter takes you. I am such a fan! I also want to homeschool my boy eventually so I can't wait to learn from you and find a community of women doing the same!

These videos have always been fun, I’ve enjoyed watching. Thanks for sharing big sis Shapiro.
Will miss you Abby❤ THX4THEMMRS

Good for you, Abby! Your boys are blessed to have you.

It's so over
Have a good one Abby, I didn't watch you too much but I appreciated yours and your husbands presence on youtube. Cheers!
Oh nooo :( wishing you all the best. Greetings from Germany😊
Thanks for your content.
Hey Abby how tall are you?
Taller than Ben
How is a lifestyle dependent on a provider sustainable? That's the opposite of that word. I have no problem with women seeking a more traditional lifestyle, but ffs, stop using buzzwords to justify it.
The one area which I hope is discussed is having education and some work experience, even if volunteer work. With our eldest children I went to law school and worked.

good luck Abby!
Homeschooling is the best. It's nice to know another mom out there shares many of my same priorities and beliefs. Good luck on your journey ahead!
I am so sorry to see you leave.

Always loved your contents, especially the modesty contents...! More power to your upcoming projects and God bless your family, Abby!
Sad day! You'll be missed!
