Unfortunately Zach's Dad contributed to that 'lazy' rumor by saying back when Zach wanted to buy the farm, he wanted a reduced price but wanted his Dad to keep doing all the work. I wish you could explain what his father meant by that because he seemed to be saying that he thought if Zach bought the farm it would all fall apart due to Zach being lazy. And then his father said something else about how when the kids were growing up Amy never stayed on them about not throwing things all over the property, and he seemed to be saying he thought Zach would be very lazy also. I'm not saying I agree at all, just telling you what his father seemed to be saying.
Zach, some people may say "lazy" but I see you as just chill, easy-going, flexible, real and not feeling the need to be the center of attention. Keep being you and ignore those opinionated, rude people whose mold you don't fit into. Tori, you're an amazing human too so keep it up as well!
Zach has never had a real job And now he’s complaining because his father won’t give him the farm. His father doesn’t have to he built that empire and trust me. Zach will benefit from it in the end typical selfish, self-centered person.
@@cherylbrantley4736 When you say "real job" I assume you mean a traditional 8 - 5 office job? Because Zach has worked for Indoor Goals for years and also got paid to be on the show. It isn't a traditional job but that's not a bad thing and he made enough money to support his wife and children. And he didn't ask his father to give him the farm. He made a reasonable offer to buy the house. Matt had told everyone their entire lives that he hoped the farm would be taken over by one of the children to keep it in the family. But he got greedy with the market and thought he could sell the house for millions and make a huge profit off of it. I know Matt has worked hard to make the farm what it is though and I'm not saying he should just give it all away and not have any money to support himself in his old age but that's not what they were trying to do when they offered to buy it. He really set them all up for disappointment by the empty promises he made all those years. But I think Zach and Tori have a lovely new home and I'm sure they will make many happy memories there for their family.
@@cherylbrantley4736 WOW judgemental here! Zach gave an offer of MONEY, he didn't expect the farm to just be "given" to him. Matt turned down Zach's offer cuz he is greedy. PLUS Matt went and changed the amount of land he was offering to sell. Not cool.
Yeah, chill because his family lucked out and got a TV show. If they wouldn’t he couldn’t be chilling at all and wouldn’t be able to have a family so let’s call it what it is.
@@meggie423 It does make you wonder because most young married couples at this age are paying down student debt, mortgages, car payments, raising kids, AND busting their behinds at the office More than 40 Hours a week!!--☺ But, maybe they claim disabilities, etc.??.. Or they already made The TV Fortune??.. Just wondering!...
I don’t call having cameras following you around a job, yeah Tori is amazing because she married him but she also knew there was money and thing to be had so she had to make a trade off and she ended up with three little kids some who will have some medical problems, so yes, and you have the money money but on the other hand, you have the other things going on.
My impression of Zack is that he's quietly taking information in and observing before he speaks. Not one to jump in just to hear himself talk. Good podcast, you two.
He gets cute and loveable (giggly) when he is interacting with Tori and priming her for his getting ready to challenge her... I love to watch him squirm but still follow through his thought as he tries to explain how he feels about something she does.. he is able to say it with love and she is able to accept it in that vein too!! they are such a cute couple!!
Buenos días zak y tori soy una fan vuestra desde que empezaron los capítulos madre mía sois un matrimonio increíble y bueno vuestros hijos maravillosos os merecéis todo lo que habéis construido juntos y más espero que Dios os dé mucha salud y prosperidad os queremos desde Barcelona España
@@amazingcars-ge7oi You're correct, because Tori loved Matt and Caryn and had very very little to do with Amy and Chris UNTIL they didn't get their way with the farm buyout !!! Caryn had Tori's kids several times overnight so Tori could have a break, Tori and Caryn were best friends for many years and Tori was always making snide comments about Amy especially during Amy's wedding !!! Zach and Tori had it made because of his dad but the minute that Matt told Zach no because he has 3 other children to think about then Zach and Tori completely cut Matt and Caryn out of their lives and then Amy was good enough to watch the kids ??? Tori likes to stir the pot and get Zach going about what his dad didn't do for them. Why didn't Zach buy the farmhouse and land from Amy ??? Because Amy wanted her big payout and Amy didn't think about Zach or Jeremy!!! That farmhouse and land that Matt is now renting out as an Airbnb was definitely worth 4 million dollars and Matt said he offered it to the family (Zach and Jeremy) for way less but Zach wanted it for next to nothing!!! Zach and Tori paid over a million dollars for that house they live in now and it's got only 2 acres, it's surrounded by junk properties and trailers and even Chris said pulling down the dirt driveway that the curb appeal was not nice !!! If you watch the show back they try to hide the junky mobile homes and the junkyard that is directly in view of Zach's house. I laugh because several times they try to crop the mess around their house out but you can still see it. 🤣🤣 I worst thing that Zach and Tori did was cutting off all communication with Matt and Caryn and their children because the kids were very close to them. One day when Matt is no longer here, I hope Zach and Tori remember what they did to him because you can't say that Matt and Caryn didn't try to make amends with Zach,Tori, and their kids but Zach and Tori said No they didn't want them in their lives !!! They said on the show that they would never let Caryn meet the baby. 🤬 That's sad and ridiculous just because little baby and rude Tori for once were told NO !!! I bet they still take their inheritance when Matt passes and I don't think they deserve it.
@@suzannep8371 Tori NEVER got along with Amy until the farm deal didn't go Tori's way !! Tori is a narcissist and her attitude is HORRIBLE !!! Zach is just a big baby who cries when he doesn't get his way with daddy and Tori eggs Zach on about his dad and Caryn but Tori loved Matt and Caryn before but threw them away and kept her children from them when she didn't get her way !!! Tori doesn't get along with Audrey and Jeremy either because she said Audrey is in competition with her. 🤣🤣 Tori is a mean person !!!
My peak for today is hearing Tori say…”I am irreplaceable in my home, I am very replaceable outside of my home. So where am I going to do the work? I’m going to do the work at home.” 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🔥❤️❤️❤️
Zach is used to being interrupted because his father and mother constantly interrupted him. Also, growing up in a group, there are many voices to contend with. Tory has the perfect husband for her need to talk. She is intelligent. Zach's comments inspire her brain.
Wow, I am surprised that I really like their podcast. Not because I didn’t like them but because I didn’t think it would be so interesting. Tori is an absolute natural and Zach has well thought out things to say.
Agree! I'm enjoying their podcast a lot more than I have enjoyed the LPBW show since the divorce and farm property issues and Caryn becoming a part of the show!😑
Thank you for sticking up for stay at home moms . It’s the hardest job I have ever had and I took it seriously raising my 5 children to be the awesome productive people they are . Being a chef and nurse and an underwriter . Yes I received a pay check but my children is a lifetime reward 😊❤ love y’all
Peak and pit. Peak for social media for Zak could be social media making you a more communicative person? The pits of social media could be a long list. Parenting children how to responsibly deal with social media is big. The two of you with all your experience in social media with be better equipped to help and teach your children. Good luck and best wishes to all the Roloffs.
Domestic engineers have the most important job of all. I did it too, my kids are now grown and I can't be more happy with the outcome. Never apologize or be embarrassed for it, the rewards cannot be diminished!
@@elizabethcabrera5718 Did your husband stay home with you and your 5 children every day to help raise them ??? I bet he didn't because someone in the family has to be bringing in a paycheck, have good health insurance, dental insurance, and especially being little people because of their unfortunate surgeries that they have to have, and feeding a family of 5 isn't cheap. I worked my entire life because I had a very great paying job but I retired after having my second child because my sister was watching my first child but moved away and I wasn't sending them to a daycare or babysitter who wasn't family but my husband of course had to work everyday because I don't care how much money you have invested and saved it doesn't last long when suddenly $150,000 a year is no longer being brought in !!! People aren't saying Tori shouldn't be a stay at home mom but SOMEONE in the family has to work and there is no reason Zach can't work.
Kudos to Tori for defending stay at home Moms. My Mom raised five children and worked very hard doing so from the time she got up in the morning until the time she went to bed at night. God bless you Tori and all good mothers everywhere. I have great respect for hard working stay at home mothers and I feel it is one of the most important jobs in the world. God bless you!
@@betsyfeller3378 I think the person who made that comment, meant that they didn't have a job in the "traditional, 9-5" way tho. Which is true. BUT, being able to stay home, like you do, is really a blessing :) A lot of people aren't lucky enough to have that choice. Just like a friend of mine, who at 34, lost his wife to cancer, and ended up being a single parent to 3 young kids. He HAVE to work full time, yet he's still an amazing dad :)
My Dad had a great job. My Mom taught school when they were in their early married years. When they had kids. Mom stopped working. Dad worked hard, and put himself through MBA. SCHOOL, while holding down a FT JOB, being a Bishop of the Spanish Branch in the LDS Church in Denver, Colorado, in the early 60’s. (My parents didn’t speak Spanish) and some of the members COULD speak English, or broken English. They grew to ❤ these people! But my Mom was a SAHM. She was also the Organist, and leader of the Women’s organization in the Spanish Branch for awhile. So yeah. And that was a few years before I came along in ‘66!! Then I was a premie, had to hav a Shunt placed, and then revisions several times in the first 6 months of life. So it was good that my mom was a SAHM! ❤
@betsyfeller3378 God bless him! It’s not easy being a parent. Much less a single parent through tragedy of the loss of a spouse. I’ve never been blessed to have kids, or get married. I’ve had serious health issues my whole life. I dated in College, but EVERYTIME I would have a serious relationship, they would all of a sudden break up with me, and then 6 months later be marrying one of my Sorority Sisters! 🤷♀️🤪🤣
@@Luluisraging.86 Awwe, sorry to hear that, and no being a single parent definitelly isn't an easy job. But, trying to make the best out of the situation you're in, and always trying to find something positive to focus on, truly helps :) (I have aspergers and bipolar 2 myself, so speakeing from my own experience🙈)
I honestly don’t see anything wrong with your housekeeping. My father used to say, a house should be clean enough to be healthy and dirty enough to be happy. Life is too short to worry about having an immaculate house all the time.
I remember Amy getting criticized back in the day for a messy house, but I liked it. I could identify with it. I hate perfect people with perfectly clean houses. Lol
I appreciate Zach’s comments about him not being lazy. I think he is just a laid back, easy going person and as he said it isn’t that important to be super driven.
Tori is 💯% percent correct. As a stay at home mom for the last 22 years I wouldn’t have had it any other way. Those years of raising your children you cannot ever get back. As my children r now 15,17,and 22 they will tell you themselves how much they appreciated having mom at home as they were growing up. Don’t let anyone hate on you for wanting to raise your children.
@shannon I’m proud of myself for having been a stay at home mom for my two now-adult kids. It’s ok to be proud. I overcame a rough childhood to be the mom I wished I had. I would not have traded a better financial situation to miss out on my children growing up. Tori, you are doing a great job, and should be very proud of yourself!
My mom was raising three kids, cooking, cleaning, washing, shopping and was doing everything else you can imagine around the house, while having a full time job !!! So please, don’t praise yourself for being a stay at home mom because that is the easier option to raising the kids and having a full time job at the same time !
This young man was in front of a camera for most of his younger life . He really do not have to explain to anyone his (laid back attitude ) if that is what you called it. He is very intelligent and knows what to say and what not too say.he thinks before he speaks. He is a excellent father and husband.He is very much like my husband and son, and i love them for it. Zach, please do not change, be you.
Contentment is the word you might be looking for with the lazy assumption. You grew up with a dad that was never content, he always went for the next best/big thing. That’s exhausting… your kids will be better off knowing that contentment brings a lot more happiness then chasing something to bring you that temporary high of faux joy.
@@MamaBearBite Ok but if Matt didn't work as hard as he did then none of them would have grown up the way they did and I don't think that Matt should be made to look like a horrible dad just because he enjoyed building the empire he has built not only for himself but his family!! There is no reason Tori and Zach are both stay at home parents because SOMEONE needs to bring home a paycheck, have good health insurance, dental insurance, and raising a family of 5 isn't cheap. I really disagreed with Zach and Tori doing a GoFundMe for them as a family to go out of the country for Zach to play soccer !!! Come on, IMO if they are asking for people to donate money for that, then that's ridiculous and many people were very angry about it, not just me !!! 🤬🤬
@@Janet-MartinWhat?? They were begging for money? And I'm SURE these idiots on here,handed them their Hard Earned money!! Hey Zachie,GO GET A REAL JOB!!😊
Zachary you’ve been using your brain and had great ideas from an early age. You are a super smart guy and put your ideas into action and are a great Dad. I’m impressed at the family you and Tori are creating and you each have your part. It’s hard to be in the public view and you both handle it well. This PODcast is great.
I am often amazed at how critical and judgmental people can be on social media. They make assumptions about people from a few minutes of airtime without really knowing them. I enjoy your podcast as much as I enjoyed watching LPBW. Thank you for sharing this glimpse into your life.
I only got into the first few seasons of LPBW, but my husband loved it. But even he bailed during the divorce. It brought up "too many feelings " about his own divorce. But we are both enjoying this podcast!
"I am irreplaceable in my home" YES!!! Such a blessing to have the chance to be home with your children. You guys are making that happen right now, and I hope that for all that want it!!! It's HARD, but priceless ❤
I so agree, your children are little for such a short amount of time, if you’re blessed to be able to stay and be a stay at home parent’s then I say god bless both of you and more importantly your family!! People are just jealous, so I say don’t pay attention to them!!
As the primary cook in my family, I love and respect Zach’s outlook on food and feeding children. Cooking for a family is a lot of work and although you don’t have to eat something you really dislike, don’t expect an alternate meal every day AND show some appreciation for the person who does the work! And it’s true …every meal does not need to be an event! Just eat something and move on! 🙂
My mother-in-law was a very practical person. She never worried about making a meal fancy, but she worked hard to feed her family of 12 (10 children). And when she was eating at someone else's home, she always said "Thanks to God, and thanks to the cook". Simple, but so right. I treasure her example.
Zach and Tori are way more like-able than Jeremy and Audrey. They are not pretentious and thank goodness they have a sense of humor. I bet Jeremy and Audrey go months without laughing 🤪
I have watched your journey from the very beginning. Zack you have always been my favorite. You have grown to be a very smart,strong, independent person,husband and father. I always felt like the show held you back. You had opinions and things to say that you didn’t get a chance to share. I could see you biting your tongue. Sooooo now is the time to shine and be you! Tell us how it is and if they don’t like it STOP WATCHING!!! It’s that easy people ugh! Thank you for sharing your journey with us, I know it’s not been easy. I do miss seeing you and Jeremy together.
One of the very best consequences of their show..........you two met, fell inlove. got married. living your lives with your beautiful kids! Great loving parents!
@@Amy.Munson34 Tori was an employee at the farm and Caryn told Tori Zach liked her and Tori said well he needs to ask me out and he finally did. Tori knew she was marrying into money and IMO Tori took full advantage of that because once they started dating she quit working on the farm and started getting paid to film. Tori and Zach should be very Thankful for the show and the lives they were able to build because of it but one time they were told no by daddy Matt and both Zach and Tori completely cut off Matt and Caryn from even seeing their children ??? Caryn and Tori were very close and Tori really didn't get along with Amy UNTIL trying to buy farm !! Caryn and Matt had those 2 kids overnight at least 2-3 nights a week but then Tori and Zach said that Caryn wasn't allowed to meet the new baby Josiah. Zach and Tori are very immature because they also don't get along with Jeremy and Audrey because of Tori but Zach goes by what Tori tells him !! Jeremy and Audrey bought a beautiful farm with a lot of land and Tori feels like Audrey is in competition with her, I've seen on Instagram where Tori has made many very disrespectful comments about Audrey and Jeremy but also Jacob and his wife that are now living on the farm because Jacob is helping his dad build his beautiful dream house. Tori is hateful and Zach is a crybaby in my opinion. Jealousy is very common with Zach and Tori.
As a SAH mom of 3 who also is a realtor, I appreciate Zack’s understanding that there is a huge difference in y’all’s work load. My husband is a Master commercial plumber. Believe me, what he does is beyond hard. Physically and mentally. I respect that Zack sees y’all’s privileged situation. Even being a SAH mom is such a privilege in todays society. 😊
We moved to WA from California so we could afford to make me a stay-at-home mom. I still remember the disgusted look I got from my co-workers when I told them I wanted this. They acted like I was from a different planet. I get wanting to work and be someone outside of a mom, but I also get that you only get 5 years before your kids go off and spend their day away from you for most of their day. 5 years flies by! In our case, Im 7 years into this stage, and this will be the last year since my last one is starting school this fall. I can't recommend it enough! The bond and relationship I gained with my kids is PRICELESS!
Thank you for commenting this, this is so encouraging to me and a great example of not caring what people think but choosing what is best for you family! It's sad that so many underlying choices of us as people are driven by money, or to be seen as "good enough" that it leaves people scratching their heads to (if they have the choice) to even choose to dedicate themselves to something so humbling and selfless. In a world where we grab what we want, motherhood does not have payoff of prestige or material goods. But to give as you do for your kids is love that can only enrich and multiply. I think we need to return to the "why" of life, which is to enjoy our relationships and pour into them.
Love you Tori but it is much harder to work 8 hours a day. Then my second job is everything you do as a mom. Working mom's have 2 full time jobs. Be thankful 🥰
As parents I think we should focus on lifting our children up emotionally so that they are able to get through all the negative things of the world. People are harsh and can be thoughtless of other people’s feelings, so we need to be the safe place and let them know that they are good enough to be out in the world and that they can conquer anything that comes their way.
Yes, I agree, but there is also a balance that is just as important called boundaries. Children need boundaries, they give security and are a reminder to show and share their love and kindness regularly towards others.
I am so thankful to see you be a traditional family. If you are blessed to be able to be hands on parents, that is amazing. Having worked in Daycare for 20 years, one firm fast rule I had was, I would never have kids unless I could stay home and parent them. It is the most important job in the world.
I’m a proud stay at home wealthy,pampered,Mom-Wife-Cook-Maid(which is Omg a 24/7hr.duty!) Tailor-Financial advisor-plumber-Gardener- and so much more not to mention fully taking care of my husband’s needs…hence 5 Kids! Happily Married for 30 yrs to my HANDSOME PROM DATE! Frankly my kids and husband wouldn’t know what to do if mom wasn’t in the kitchen when they opened the door asking how their day was- it was a choice my husband and I made when I got pregnant with our first child at 20 and it’s paid off well for my whole family! Tori~Enjoy never missing a moment with the loves of your lives “YOUR FAMILY!”😊💝
One of the best new podcasts I have seen in a long time! I want to say how refreshing it is to see a couple show their love and respect for each other all while finding the humor in the day-to-day of life. You two are the best and you can see the love you have for each other and your family. I agree with so many of the comments here, you two are doing it right. Keep loving each other, listening to each other, and showing the kindness that you do with each other and you can handle anything that comes along. God bless you two and your beautiful family. I have watched every podcast, will recommend it to others, and know that this will be a wonderful adventure for you both. Love getting to hear your sides and viewpoints on whatever you choose to share - this is YOUR STORY TOGETHER! 💕
I am now a grandma and have raised my kids. My youngest 2 were very sick for their first year and I had to stay home with them. I love my children to the moon and back, but that was the longest year of my life. I was not cut out to be a stay at home mom. I am so glad you and Zach are able to financially because it is better for your family. Those saying it’s not a “real” job have never attempted that “job”. Kudos to you and your family for just living your life your own way.
Another great video! I love how articulate Zach is. He is very well spoken! You both are such a joy to watch. Tori you are so right in believing that your job right now is being a good wife, mother and homemaker. Our society is slowing appreciating the women who choose to remain at home and raise the children. Zach I can envision you being in broadcasting in some capacity! Thank you for sharing your thoughts and visions. You both are mature for your age!
Zack your so right..When someones a peaceful person or just at Peace within..others can mistake that as " a person that doesnt care" about things. There is a peace that passes all understanding...like if a person is walking something hard, yet they have a peace about them...others cant understand why their not upset, angry or worried
I think that you are right about stay at home Moms, they are under valued! You are a wonderful Mom and Dad ! Keep it up! I know you aren’t lazy Zach! God bless your beautiful family!❤
Great job! Zack congratulations on doing this for us, I’m actually impressed listening to you, this format gives you a chance to be yourself, and you are a well read intelligent young man.
Regarding the "laziness" comment. I think it is a direct reflection of the show. Zach was always compared to his dad's ambitious nature. Someone had to play second fiddle to Matt and as the other siblings stopped being on the show, Zach fell into that second fiddle spot. Zach is clearly providing a good life for his family and not lazy.
@@JaniceRoss-en4nnI am glad that I will not hear Zach and Tori be complaining on each and every episode of the show and I am glad il that they will not be filming anymore !!!
@@JaniceRoss-en4nn I am not trying to be disrespectful but you can't say that Zach and Tori didn't complain each and every episode after they didn't get their way with getting the farm for next to nothing. Zach and Tori carried it too far and when it started to involve their children not being able to see their grandfather and his fiance especially when the kids were closest to Matt and Caryn because IMO that is just them making their children suffer because Matt is not going to live forever. I think it's pretty sad and they are both very immature.
I’m so glad you both are going this route because the stories in social media can be so horrible. I would rather hear your stories straight from you both. Thank you for bringing it to us.
Tori, you come across as honest, mamma bear, caring, kind and everything nice. Do not let things in the media bother you. We your fans love you. We know the true you.
Absolutely LOVE your podcast. Zach, I love your laid-back disposition! You don’t have to be charged up and fired up to have a successful podcast. I love your no nonsense, matter of fact style. You both are wonderful parents, and Tori is right, being a stay at home mom should be applauded and valued! May God continue to bless your family!! 🙏❤️🙏
Thats what makes Zach so comfortable to watch. Being real is the best! And just because what drives you dont drive others, everyone has their own heart felt desire, of what to do in your life. And also thats just it, it is YOUR LIFE. So, for the person who has judged you as "lazy", i say get over yourself, stop judging! I love yours and Tory's talks. Good luck to you both with your future.😊
I really like you guys and agree with a lot that you say but to say that stay at home parents work “harder” is crazy. I understand that it’s not just laying on the couch all day, but it is a luxury to have the option to do so
I think people take other people too literally these days. We have become a very judgmental society. Some of these comments are harsh and are just even more assumptions being made. I see how you guys are so passionate about clarifying you both work very hard, glad you got a chance to stand up for yourselves. What I love about you guys is that you seem like very genuine, sweet individuals and that quality has passed down to your children. That is huge! Good luck moving forward!
I think Zach gets the comment. Tori is taking it personally. We all "work" to some degree outside of a traditional job. Even people that are not stay at home parents.
It’s so nice to learn about you both minus the realty tv show. I appreciate that you view being home raising your children as important and something you want for your family. Parenting is definitely a job, and kudos to you that you rise above the negativity. You’re doing a great job - 👏🏻
You two are a breath of fresh air! Keep on growing together in Christ and raising your precious children and congratulations on your new show! Grace and peace,m.
I love that Tori! Being a stay at home mother and wife is super important! To raise productive ,responsible adults. Put the work in and it pays off. There is nothing more important than being there for your children.
Tori, you're totally right about mom's being at home and taking care of the family. I did the same. My husband wanted me to be a stay at home mom, I didn't want someone else raising my kids, and I didn't want to miss out on raising them cause you can never press rewind. We couldn't go on vacation or trips because we never had the money to go, but that was the trade-off for raising my kids. I wouldn't have changed it for the world, and when they got older, I worked part-time only while they were at school, and I made sure I was off before they got out of school. It worked out great,no regrets on always being there for them.😊ps just wanted to say that I understand not everyone can do this, especially if you're a single parent or your spouse's income is just not enough to make ends meet. Have a great day 😀
Not lazy-content is a thing. My husband works hard ( we have a farm) but he doesn’t have hobbies and doesn’t care to be basic and feel the need to do what everyone else is doing. I recently said to him, “ Aren’t you worried you’ll regret it on your death bed, not having a hobby or doing projects or traveling and reading, going out of your comfort zone, etc?” He said no, I’m very content in my life, I work, I spend time with family & that’s all I need. I don’t need to do extra stuff and have things perfect,etc…🤷🏼♀️
Nothing is more of a BLESSING than spending your time raising your children. Those years are few and instilling morals and the love of God in your children is utmost important. Parents that raise their own children should be respected.
@Tori Being a stay at home mom is definitely a hard, busy, rewarding job. You said it right, "You are irreplaceable at home but are replaceable in the workplace." I think what most of us wonder about is what you guys do for your work (pay the bills). Obviously podcasting, but are there other irons in the fire and what does a day of work to make money look like for you guys?
Your children are blessed, and Zach has been on LPBW since he was a kid, so he did have a job, and Tori being a teacher or even a substitute teacher is difficult. Your words about stay at home moms are correct. SAHM is a job 24/7. So don't let what others think. You're both doing a great job raising kids.
I am so happy you have your own platform. I watched the show to keep up with you and your siblings. It’s so nice to see you happy and thriving post TLC. You both are the human equivalent of a big warm hug. Hope the rest of your siblings are thriving as well! ❤
One good piece of advice I heard when raising my 6 children was this: It's great to praise your children to them, but you should also let your children overhear you praising them to someone else. It's amazing how powerful that is....much like letting your children overhear you praying for them when they think you don't know they are listening.
You two are adorable. I think people jump to conclusions based on a few minutes of a TV reality show. I’m amazed how judgy people are. Being content is not lazy.
Stay at home mom….my mom was a stay at home mom, and both my sisters are stay at home moms (11 kids between them), AND they both homeschool the kids. It’s an amazing role!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I really enjoyed watching this podcast! I just discovered it by accident. You are both very well spoken and the conversation was interesting. I watched the show for. ❤️ about the first 5 years, but got away from it because I didn't care for your dad's attitude change. My best to you and the family in your new chapter
Love watching! I’ve watched since the beginning. Personally, I’ve felt Zach has always been himself through the whole process on LPBW. I raised eight kids and we were very busy through the years they were growing up. Now that my kids are raised, I just want to relax. I understand how you feel. It’s the simple things that matter. Thank you for all you do! Such a beautiful family you all have been blessed with!
Being a stay at home parent is a very hard job. What I think that Tori's missing is that some people don't have a choice. I was 30 years old, married, with a great job before I had my only child. At 35 I was a single parent battling a brain tumor, working, and being a mom. Being married does not mean that your spouse won't leave or pass away. Being in a good financial position doesn't prevent you from being diagnosed with a life threatening illness and losing everything. Just from medical bills. After insurance I still had to pay 77k for surgery and hospitalization. Planning is great but it doesn't mean that things won't change. So no, you don't work harder than anyone else, but you do work hard. No one is better than anyone else. However, I do think that it's important for children to see their parents work traditional jobs of some kind because that's how they learn to work themselves. Modeling good examples are important IMO
@@madreep Very well said, thank you !!! Tori seems to have forgotten that she definitely didn't grow up rich !! I didn't agree with her comments about working harder than everybody especially when Zach is there at home everyday helping her with everything that needs to be done !!
So enjoying your podcasts! Thank you for continuing to share your lives in YOUR way but will miss you on the show. Honestly though? This is even better! Sending positive loving vibes to you and your family ❤
I love seeing this family weekly, Zach! I know these decisions weren't made lightly by either of you and wish you well in all your new and future endeavors. We're here for the podcast.
People who don’t need to have a traditional job because they have enough wealth or income that they don’t need to work shouldn’t be ashamed of that and try to make it seem like they work in the same way most people do. Working around your house or taking care of your children is not what people meant when they asked if you work/ have a job. You’ve both made choices that you believe are best for your family and that’s amazing, just be upfront with the fact that you have those options because of your special circumstances, wealth, fame, influence,etc.
@@karlaguerrero6071 Thank you, because Zach and Tori both have danced around that question because we all know right now with the way the world is that under normal circumstances that there is no way that Tori and Zach could both stay home and not work if it hadn't been for them being on the show but as you can see they will not be truthful about that !! In fact Zach and Tori would not have what they have today if it wasn't for TLC paying them but now they don't have the show and I don't understand how they both think they are going to be able to stay at home with their children for the rest of their lives without either one of them working because that's just not sustainable !!!
"I am irreplaceable in my own home. I am very replaceable outside my home. So where am I going to do the work? I am going to to the work at home." Tori Roloff . Great statement Tori!
I worked until I was 38. I got married late and had kids late. I was lucky to stay at home with both my kids. It was a lot of work but rewarding too. Tori and Zach, keep up the good work! Don’t listen to the naysayers. They are always out there especially on social media.
I find Zach so attractive. I can see why Tori adores him... Very smart, handsome, and takes the lead as the man of the house. I love me a handy and hard-working man❤
Tori please know that you are valid, you are worthy of all the praise for what you do with your life. Raising children is hard work, and you are doing it! I don’t know why people assume stay at home moms are not on the job all the time, such a sillyway to think about it.
I loved when Tori said that is she irreplaceable at her home and replaceble at her job. So. True!!!
THIS!
❤❤
❤
Will someone tell me what it means when someone writes "THIS." I have no idea what that means. Are they too lazy to write out a sentence?
Unfortunately Zach's Dad contributed to that 'lazy' rumor by saying back when Zach wanted to buy the farm, he wanted a reduced price but wanted his Dad to keep doing all the work. I wish you could explain what his father meant by that because he seemed to be saying that he thought if Zach bought the farm it would all fall apart due to Zach being lazy. And then his father said something else about how when the kids were growing up Amy never stayed on them about not throwing things all over the property, and he seemed to be saying he thought Zach would be very lazy also. I'm not saying I agree at all, just telling you what his father seemed to be saying.
Zach, some people may say "lazy" but I see you as just chill, easy-going, flexible, real and not feeling the need to be the center of attention. Keep being you and ignore those opinionated, rude people whose mold you don't fit into. Tori, you're an amazing human too so keep it up as well!
Zach has never had a real job
And now he’s complaining because his father won’t give him the farm. His father doesn’t have to he built that empire and trust me. Zach will benefit from it in the end typical selfish, self-centered person.
@@cherylbrantley4736 When you say "real job" I assume you mean a traditional 8 - 5 office job? Because Zach has worked for Indoor Goals for years and also got paid to be on the show. It isn't a traditional job but that's not a bad thing and he made enough money to support his wife and children. And he didn't ask his father to give him the farm. He made a reasonable offer to buy the house. Matt had told everyone their entire lives that he hoped the farm would be taken over by one of the children to keep it in the family. But he got greedy with the market and thought he could sell the house for millions and make a huge profit off of it. I know Matt has worked hard to make the farm what it is though and I'm not saying he should just give it all away and not have any money to support himself in his old age but that's not what they were trying to do when they offered to buy it. He really set them all up for disappointment by the empty promises he made all those years. But I think Zach and Tori have a lovely new home and I'm sure they will make many happy memories there for their family.
@@cherylbrantley4736 WOW judgemental here! Zach gave an offer of MONEY, he didn't expect the farm to just be "given" to him. Matt turned down Zach's offer cuz he is greedy. PLUS Matt went and changed the amount of land he was offering to sell. Not cool.
Define 'real job' @@cherylbrantley4736
Yeah, chill because his family lucked out and got a TV show. If they wouldn’t he couldn’t be chilling at all and wouldn’t be able to have a family so let’s call it what it is.
Dude's been working since he was a kid. He kept the train rolling. Tori is irreplaceable. Amazing humans ❤
Doing what
Meg, maybe you need to troll a different Podcast.
@@meggie423 It does make you wonder because most young married couples at this age are paying down student debt, mortgages, car payments, raising kids, AND busting their behinds at the office More than 40 Hours a week!!--☺ But, maybe they claim disabilities, etc.??.. Or they already made The TV Fortune??..
Just wondering!...
I totally agree with you, Jean. They are amazing and the real deal!!
I don’t call having cameras following you around a job, yeah Tori is amazing because she married him but she also knew there was money and thing to be had so she had to make a trade off and she ended up with three little kids some who will have some medical problems, so yes, and you have the money money but on the other hand, you have the other things going on.
My impression of Zack is that he's quietly taking information in and observing before he speaks. Not one to jump in just to hear himself talk. Good podcast, you two.
I like how Zack can see both sides of an issue.
I love how solid Zack is and not bubbly and excitable every time he sits in front of the camera. He’s a real solid guy and I love that.💙
He gets cute and loveable (giggly) when he is interacting with Tori and priming her for his getting ready to challenge her... I love to watch him squirm but still follow through his thought as he tries to explain how he feels about something she does.. he is able to say it with love and she is able to accept it in that vein too!! they are such a cute couple!!
Someone’s got a crush!!❤ He is dreamy!!
I’ve always like Zach since he was a kid. He was chill and level headed way back then and he hasn’t changed a bit. I love that about him.
Best quote I've heard in a LONG time... "I am irreplaceable in my own home. I am very replaceable outside my home." SO TRUE!!! I Love it!
Buenos días zak y tori soy una fan vuestra desde que empezaron los capítulos madre mía sois un matrimonio increíble y bueno vuestros hijos maravillosos os merecéis todo lo que habéis construido juntos y más espero que Dios os dé mucha salud y prosperidad os queremos desde Barcelona España
I love Zack’s personality. Tori too, but Zack is funny, smart and he tells the truth, has a good understanding of how life works.
Couldn’t agree more!
I agree!!
Facts. From the start of the show, Zack was always my fav. He is more like me. Because he was shy & a late bloomer.
I have watched since he was a child and i agree! He and Tori really match up
100%
Zach is very articulate and thoughtful. This podcast is great.
Tori's narcissism is the real issue. She is the reason he has a broken relationship with his family.
@@amazingcars-ge7oi that’s not true she loves his Mom Amy
@@amazingcars-ge7oi You're correct, because Tori loved Matt and Caryn and had very very little to do with Amy and Chris UNTIL they didn't get their way with the farm buyout !!! Caryn had Tori's kids several times overnight so Tori could have a break, Tori and Caryn were best friends for many years and Tori was always making snide comments about Amy especially during Amy's wedding !!! Zach and Tori had it made because of his dad but the minute that Matt told Zach no because he has 3 other children to think about then Zach and Tori completely cut Matt and Caryn out of their lives and then Amy was good enough to watch the kids ??? Tori likes to stir the pot and get Zach going about what his dad didn't do for them. Why didn't Zach buy the farmhouse and land from Amy ??? Because Amy wanted her big payout and Amy didn't think about Zach or Jeremy!!! That farmhouse and land that Matt is now renting out as an Airbnb was definitely worth 4 million dollars and Matt said he offered it to the family (Zach and Jeremy) for way less but Zach wanted it for next to nothing!!! Zach and Tori paid over a million dollars for that house they live in now and it's got only 2 acres, it's surrounded by junk properties and trailers and even Chris said pulling down the dirt driveway that the curb appeal was not nice !!! If you watch the show back they try to hide the junky mobile homes and the junkyard that is directly in view of Zach's house. I laugh because several times they try to crop the mess around their house out but you can still see it. 🤣🤣 I worst thing that Zach and Tori did was cutting off all communication with Matt and Caryn and their children because the kids were very close to them. One day when Matt is no longer here, I hope Zach and Tori remember what they did to him because you can't say that Matt and Caryn didn't try to make amends with Zach,Tori, and their kids but Zach and Tori said No they didn't want them in their lives !!! They said on the show that they would never let Caryn meet the baby. 🤬 That's sad and ridiculous just because little baby and rude Tori for once were told NO !!! I bet they still take their inheritance when Matt passes and I don't think they deserve it.
@@suzannep8371 Tori NEVER got along with Amy until the farm deal didn't go Tori's way !! Tori is a narcissist and her attitude is HORRIBLE !!! Zach is just a big baby who cries when he doesn't get his way with daddy and Tori eggs Zach on about his dad and Caryn but Tori loved Matt and Caryn before but threw them away and kept her children from them when she didn't get her way !!! Tori doesn't get along with Audrey and Jeremy either because she said Audrey is in competition with her. 🤣🤣 Tori is a mean person !!!
@@Janet-Martinwow you are well informed
My peak for today is hearing Tori say…”I am irreplaceable in my home, I am very replaceable outside of my home. So where am I going to do the work? I’m going to do the work at home.” 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🔥❤️❤️❤️
I was disappointed when you said you were quitting LPBW but now with your podcast I'm good. I think it represents you so much better. I am loving it.
The show will not be the same without them!! They add youth and family.
@@Barngirl_26 FYI, they were let go for poor ratings.
@@Kchambers23 True, I fast forward on there parts to get to Matt and Amy stuff.
@TrentBriggs-ti8uk They should have cut tori and zach from this current season. They have no storyline and are like watching paint dry.
Yup.. .me too 😍
Zach is used to being interrupted because his father and mother constantly interrupted him. Also, growing up in a group, there are many voices to contend with. Tory has the perfect husband for her need to talk. She is intelligent. Zach's comments inspire her brain.
Great perspective. She get excited and talks. It's passion not rudeness
Wow, I am surprised that I really like their podcast. Not because I didn’t like them but because I didn’t think it would be so interesting. Tori is an absolute natural and Zach has well thought out things to say.
Agree! I'm enjoying their podcast a lot more than I have enjoyed the LPBW show since the divorce and farm property issues and Caryn becoming a part of the show!😑
Thank you for sticking up for stay at home moms . It’s the hardest job I have ever had and I took it seriously raising my 5 children to be the awesome productive people they are . Being a chef and nurse and an underwriter . Yes I received a pay check but my children is a lifetime reward 😊❤ love y’all
Peak and pit. Peak for social media for Zak could be social media making you a more communicative person? The pits of social media could be a long list. Parenting children how to responsibly deal with social media is big. The two of you with all your experience in social media with be better equipped to help and teach your children. Good luck and best wishes to all the Roloffs.
Amen!!!
Domestic engineers have the most important job of all. I did it too, my kids are now grown and I can't be more happy with the outcome. Never apologize or be embarrassed for it, the rewards cannot be diminished!
@@elizabethcabrera5718 Did your husband stay home with you and your 5 children every day to help raise them ??? I bet he didn't because someone in the family has to be bringing in a paycheck, have good health insurance, dental insurance, and especially being little people because of their unfortunate surgeries that they have to have, and feeding a family of 5 isn't cheap. I worked my entire life because I had a very great paying job but I retired after having my second child because my sister was watching my first child but moved away and I wasn't sending them to a daycare or babysitter who wasn't family but my husband of course had to work everyday because I don't care how much money you have invested and saved it doesn't last long when suddenly $150,000 a year is no longer being brought in !!! People aren't saying Tori shouldn't be a stay at home mom but SOMEONE in the family has to work and there is no reason Zach can't work.
Kudos to Tori for defending stay at home Moms. My Mom raised five children and worked very hard doing so from the time she got up in the morning until the time she went to bed at night. God bless you Tori and all good mothers everywhere. I have great respect for hard working stay at home mothers and I feel it is one of the most important jobs in the world. God bless you!
Thanks! I am one of the "good mothers" you speak of!
@@betsyfeller3378 I think the person who made that comment, meant that they didn't have a job in the "traditional, 9-5" way tho. Which is true. BUT, being able to stay home, like you do, is really a blessing :) A lot of people aren't lucky enough to have that choice. Just like a friend of mine, who at 34, lost his wife to cancer, and ended up being a single parent to 3 young kids. He HAVE to work full time, yet he's still an amazing dad :)
My Dad had a great job. My Mom taught school when they were in their early married years. When they had kids. Mom stopped working. Dad worked hard, and put himself through MBA. SCHOOL, while holding down a FT JOB, being a Bishop of the Spanish Branch in the LDS Church in Denver, Colorado, in the early 60’s. (My parents didn’t speak Spanish) and some of the members COULD speak English, or broken English. They grew to ❤ these people!
But my Mom was a SAHM. She was also the Organist, and leader of the Women’s organization in the Spanish Branch for awhile. So yeah. And that was a few years before I came along in ‘66!! Then I was a premie, had to hav a Shunt placed, and then revisions several times in the first 6 months of life. So it was good that my mom was a SAHM! ❤
@betsyfeller3378 God bless him! It’s not easy being a parent. Much less a single parent through tragedy of the loss of a spouse.
I’ve never been blessed to have kids, or get married. I’ve had serious health issues my whole life. I dated in College, but EVERYTIME I would have a serious relationship, they would all of a sudden break up with me, and then 6 months later be marrying one of my Sorority Sisters! 🤷♀️🤪🤣
@@Luluisraging.86 Awwe, sorry to hear that, and no being a single parent definitelly isn't an easy job. But, trying to make the best out of the situation you're in, and always trying to find something positive to focus on, truly helps :) (I have aspergers and bipolar 2 myself, so speakeing from my own experience🙈)
You guys have 3 beautiful children that is a job 24-7. Your family being on TV for so long is a job. No fooling me.
I seriously agree with you 🤷🏾♂️🖤😅
Exactly! And I only have 1 child. Idk how anyone has more than 1 child 😂😳
So lot of people have kids.
@@cherylbrantley4736 And work a couple of jobs and take care of their children and home!
@@cherylbrantley4736 and it's a full time job
Wow… it’s so nice to hear Zach talk. He is so intelligent and has so much perspective on what the viewers think in such an understanding way.
I honestly don’t see anything wrong with your housekeeping. My father used to say, a house should be clean enough to be healthy and dirty enough to be happy. Life is too short to worry about having an immaculate house all the time.
We guys are a blessing to the fake world! Keep the good work! ❤
I remember Amy getting criticized back in the day for a messy house, but I liked it. I could identify with it. I hate perfect people with perfectly clean houses. Lol
I appreciate Zach’s comments about him not being lazy. I think he is just a laid back, easy going person and as he said it isn’t that important to be super driven.
There is nothing more important than raising good, decent, productive members of society. That’s our contribution to the world.
He's LAZY! PERIOD!!
Tori is 💯% percent correct. As a stay at home mom for the last 22 years I wouldn’t have had it any other way. Those years of raising your children you cannot ever get back. As my children r now 15,17,and 22 they will tell you themselves how much they appreciated having mom at home as they were growing up. Don’t let anyone hate on you for wanting to raise your children.
Neither you or Tori invented being the stay at home mom’s of course she staying at home she’s on TV
@@cherylbrantley4736 And she’s always hocking items, I guess that’s another way to bring in income.
@shannon I’m proud of myself for having been a stay at home mom for my two now-adult kids. It’s ok to be proud. I overcame a rough childhood to be the mom I wished I had. I would not have traded a better financial situation to miss out on my children growing up. Tori, you are doing a great job, and should be very proud of yourself!
My mom was raising three kids, cooking, cleaning, washing, shopping and was doing everything else you can imagine around the house, while having a full time job !!! So please, don’t praise yourself for being a stay at home mom because that is the easier option to raising the kids and having a full time job at the same time !
@@smiley1511 I AGREE!
This young man was in front of a camera for most of his younger life . He really do not have to explain to anyone his (laid back attitude ) if that is what you called it. He is very intelligent and knows what to say and what not too say.he thinks before he speaks. He is a excellent father and husband.He is very much like my husband and son, and i love them for it. Zach, please do not change, be you.
Contentment is the word you might be looking for with the lazy assumption. You grew up with a dad that was never content, he always went for the next best/big thing. That’s exhausting… your kids will be better off knowing that contentment brings a lot more happiness then chasing something to bring you that temporary high of faux joy.
wow, well said
Spot on observation and very well said. 💛
@@MamaBearBite Ok but if Matt didn't work as hard as he did then none of them would have grown up the way they did and I don't think that Matt should be made to look like a horrible dad just because he enjoyed building the empire he has built not only for himself but his family!! There is no reason Tori and Zach are both stay at home parents because SOMEONE needs to bring home a paycheck, have good health insurance, dental insurance, and raising a family of 5 isn't cheap. I really disagreed with Zach and Tori doing a GoFundMe for them as a family to go out of the country for Zach to play soccer !!! Come on, IMO if they are asking for people to donate money for that, then that's ridiculous and many people were very angry about it, not just me !!! 🤬🤬
MATT is THE ONLY REASON these fools have what they have!! He was a go getter unlike Amy & this little "Ma mas" boy!!
@@Janet-MartinWhat?? They were begging for money? And I'm SURE these idiots on here,handed them their Hard Earned money!! Hey Zachie,GO GET A REAL JOB!!😊
Zachary you’ve been using your brain and had great ideas from an early age. You are a super smart guy and put your ideas into action and are a great Dad. I’m impressed at the family you and Tori are creating and you each have your part. It’s hard to be in the public view and you both handle it well. This PODcast is great.
The best thing about this, no boss telling you what to do!!
I am often amazed at how critical and judgmental people can be on social media. They make assumptions about people from a few minutes of airtime without really knowing them. I enjoy your podcast as much as I enjoyed watching LPBW. Thank you for sharing this glimpse into your life.
You are so right and even worse they will boycott businesses and go to such extremes. So sad.
I only got into the first few seasons of LPBW, but my husband loved it. But even he bailed during the divorce. It brought up "too many feelings " about his own divorce.
But we are both enjoying this podcast!
You are so right
Really, get used to it.
"I am irreplaceable in my home" YES!!! Such a blessing to have the chance to be home with your children. You guys are making that happen right now, and I hope that for all that want it!!! It's HARD, but priceless ❤
I so agree, your children are little for such a short amount of time, if you’re blessed to be able to stay and be a stay at home parent’s then I say god bless both of you and more importantly your family!!
People are just jealous, so I say don’t pay attention to them!!
As the primary cook in my family, I love and respect Zach’s outlook on food and feeding children. Cooking for a family is a lot of work and although you don’t have to eat something you really dislike, don’t expect an alternate meal every day AND show some appreciation for the person who does the work! And it’s true …every meal does not need to be an event! Just eat something and move on! 🙂
My mother-in-law was a very practical person. She never worried about making a meal fancy, but she worked hard to feed her family of 12 (10 children). And when she was eating at someone else's home, she always said "Thanks to God, and thanks to the cook". Simple, but so right. I treasure her example.
@@karolegrano5942cooking for 12 it was probably a necessity to be practical. That is impressive.
Zach and Tori are way more like-able than Jeremy and Audrey. They are not pretentious and thank goodness they have a sense of humor. I bet Jeremy and Audrey go months without laughing 🤪
Eat to live not live to eat.
We had that room you can’t touch. A fancy living room. Not allowed in there EVER!!!
I have watched your journey from the very beginning. Zack you have always been my favorite. You have grown to be a very smart,strong, independent person,husband and father. I always felt like the show held you back. You had opinions and things to say that you didn’t get a chance to share. I could see you biting your tongue. Sooooo now is the time to shine and be you! Tell us how it is and if they don’t like it STOP WATCHING!!! It’s that easy people ugh! Thank you for sharing your journey with us, I know it’s not been easy.
I do miss seeing you and Jeremy together.
One of the very best consequences of their show..........you two met, fell inlove. got married. living your lives with your beautiful kids! Great loving parents!
They met because of the show?
@@Amy.Munson34I think she worked on farm during Pumpkin season without show they may not have had the pumpkin patch portion of farm.
@@Amy.Munson34 Tori was an employee at the farm and Caryn told Tori Zach liked her and Tori said well he needs to ask me out and he finally did. Tori knew she was marrying into money and IMO Tori took full advantage of that because once they started dating she quit working on the farm and started getting paid to film. Tori and Zach should be very Thankful for the show and the lives they were able to build because of it but one time they were told no by daddy Matt and both Zach and Tori completely cut off Matt and Caryn from even seeing their children ??? Caryn and Tori were very close and Tori really didn't get along with Amy UNTIL trying to buy farm !! Caryn and Matt had those 2 kids overnight at least 2-3 nights a week but then Tori and Zach said that Caryn wasn't allowed to meet the new baby Josiah. Zach and Tori are very immature because they also don't get along with Jeremy and Audrey because of Tori but Zach goes by what Tori tells him !! Jeremy and Audrey bought a beautiful farm with a lot of land and Tori feels like Audrey is in competition with her, I've seen on Instagram where Tori has made many very disrespectful comments about Audrey and Jeremy but also Jacob and his wife that are now living on the farm because Jacob is helping his dad build his beautiful dream house. Tori is hateful and Zach is a crybaby in my opinion. Jealousy is very common with Zach and Tori.
18:02 preach. Parents who take their role seriously are so important.
II LOVE ZACH'S INTELLIGENCE!!! Everyone has a role to play in this life❤
Agree 100% about the eating thing. I came from a home where dinner was made for you, it was there so if you don’t like it…starve! You go Zach!
We went to the farm, pre Tori and met zack by the porta potty....he signed our hat and his personality shinned out...such a kind person
As a SAH mom of 3 who also is a realtor, I appreciate Zack’s understanding that there is a huge difference in y’all’s work load. My husband is a Master commercial plumber. Believe me, what he does is beyond hard. Physically and mentally. I respect that Zack sees y’all’s privileged situation. Even being a SAH mom is such a privilege in todays society. 😊
We moved to WA from California so we could afford to make me a stay-at-home mom. I still remember the disgusted look I got from my co-workers when I told them I wanted this. They acted like I was from a different planet. I get wanting to work and be someone outside of a mom, but I also get that you only get 5 years before your kids go off and spend their day away from you for most of their day. 5 years flies by! In our case, Im 7 years into this stage, and this will be the last year since my last one is starting school this fall. I can't recommend it enough! The bond and relationship I gained with my kids is PRICELESS!
Thank you for commenting this, this is so encouraging to me and a great example of not caring what people think but choosing what is best for you family! It's sad that so many underlying choices of us as people are driven by money, or to be seen as "good enough" that it leaves people scratching their heads to (if they have the choice) to even choose to dedicate themselves to something so humbling and selfless. In a world where we grab what we want, motherhood does not have payoff of prestige or material goods. But to give as you do for your kids is love that can only enrich and multiply. I think we need to return to the "why" of life, which is to enjoy our relationships and pour into them.
Love you Tori but it is much harder to work 8 hours a day. Then my second job is everything you do as a mom. Working mom's have 2 full time jobs. Be thankful 🥰
As parents I think we should focus on lifting our children up emotionally so that they are able to get through all the negative things of the world. People are harsh and can be thoughtless of other people’s feelings, so we need to be the safe place and let them know that they are good enough to be out in the world and that they can conquer anything that comes their way.
Yes, I agree, but there is also a balance that is just as important called boundaries. Children need boundaries, they give security and are a reminder to show and share their love and kindness regularly towards others.
I’m seeing a new side of Zach. Tori being a mom is a KINGDOM job and you are doing great!
I am so thankful to see you be a traditional family. If you are blessed to be able to be hands on parents, that is amazing. Having worked in Daycare for 20 years, one firm fast rule I had was, I would never have kids unless I could stay home and parent them. It is the most important job in the world.
I’m a proud stay at home wealthy,pampered,Mom-Wife-Cook-Maid(which is Omg a 24/7hr.duty!) Tailor-Financial advisor-plumber-Gardener- and so much more not to mention fully taking care of my husband’s needs…hence 5 Kids! Happily Married for 30 yrs to my HANDSOME PROM DATE! Frankly my kids and husband wouldn’t know what to do if mom wasn’t in the kitchen when they opened the door asking how their day was- it was a choice my husband and I made when I got pregnant with our first child at 20 and it’s paid off well for my whole family! Tori~Enjoy never missing a moment with the loves of your lives “YOUR FAMILY!”😊💝
One of the best new podcasts I have seen in a long time! I want to say how refreshing it is to see a couple show their love and respect for each other all while finding the humor in the day-to-day of life. You two are the best and you can see the love you have for each other and your family. I agree with so many of the comments here, you two are doing it right. Keep loving each other, listening to each other, and showing the kindness that you do with each other and you can handle anything that comes along. God bless you two and your beautiful family. I have watched every podcast, will recommend it to others, and know that this will be a wonderful adventure for you both. Love getting to hear your sides and viewpoints on whatever you choose to share - this is YOUR STORY TOGETHER! 💕
I am now a grandma and have raised my kids. My youngest 2 were very sick for their first year and I had to stay home with them. I love my children to the moon and back, but that was the longest year of my life. I was not cut out to be a stay at home mom. I am so glad you and Zach are able to financially because it is better for your family. Those saying it’s not a “real” job have never attempted that “job”. Kudos to you and your family for just living your life your own way.
Totally agree about motherhood, Tori!!! Mothers are irreplaceable for their families.
Another great video! I love how articulate Zach is. He is very well spoken! You both are such a joy to watch. Tori you are so right in believing that your job right now is being a good wife, mother and homemaker. Our society is slowing appreciating the women who choose to remain at home and raise the children. Zach I can envision you being in broadcasting in some capacity! Thank you for sharing your thoughts and visions. You both are mature for your age!
I just wish he had some formal Hobbies- maybe coaching Kids' Soccer teams?!..
Didn’t he talk about coaching soccer??
Zack your so right..When someones a peaceful person or just at Peace within..others can mistake that as " a person that doesnt care" about things. There is a peace that passes all understanding...like if a person is walking something hard, yet they have a peace about them...others cant understand why their not upset, angry or worried
I think that you are right about stay at home Moms, they are under valued! You are a wonderful Mom and Dad ! Keep it up! I know you aren’t lazy Zach! God bless your beautiful family!❤
Stay at home moms have the most important job ever! More power to you Tori! You guys make a great team!
So refreshing to hear a young couple respectful of each other and smart. I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!
Great job! Zack congratulations on doing this for us, I’m actually impressed listening to you, this format gives you a chance to be yourself, and you are a well read intelligent young man.
You both truly support each other. Stay true to yourselves. Zack your an amazing young man.
Regarding the "laziness" comment. I think it is a direct reflection of the show. Zach was always compared to his dad's ambitious nature. Someone had to play second fiddle to Matt and as the other siblings stopped being on the show, Zach fell into that second fiddle spot. Zach is clearly providing a good life for his family and not lazy.
@@JaniceRoss-en4nnI am glad that I will not hear Zach and Tori be complaining on each and every episode of the show and I am glad il that they will not be filming anymore !!!
@@Janet-Martin I will miss them, they don’t complain or I haven’t heard them, I will miss them and their beautiful children.
@@JaniceRoss-en4nn I am not trying to be disrespectful but you can't say that Zach and Tori didn't complain each and every episode after they didn't get their way with getting the farm for next to nothing. Zach and Tori carried it too far and when it started to involve their children not being able to see their grandfather and his fiance especially when the kids were closest to Matt and Caryn because IMO that is just them making their children suffer because Matt is not going to live forever. I think it's pretty sad and they are both very immature.
I’m so glad you both are going this route because the stories in social media can be so horrible. I would rather hear your stories straight from you both. Thank you for bringing it to us.
Work harder than anyone out there!!!😅 two stay at home parents ..awwww! You have to watch your own kids!
Zack has one of the best laughs and CHILL
I like how Tori puts it regarding stay at home parents "I am irreplaceable at home but replaceable at work " very well said!
LOVE that comment about you being irreplaceable at home. So so true!!!!!
Tori, you come across as honest, mamma bear, caring, kind and everything nice. Do not let things in the media bother you. We your fans love you. We know the true you.
Absolutely LOVE your podcast. Zach, I love your laid-back disposition! You don’t have to be charged up and fired up to have a successful podcast. I love your no nonsense, matter of fact style. You both are wonderful parents, and Tori is right, being a stay at home mom should be applauded and valued! May God continue to bless your family!! 🙏❤️🙏
Thats what makes Zach so comfortable to watch. Being real is the best! And just because what drives you dont drive others, everyone has their own heart felt desire, of what to do in your life. And also thats just it, it is YOUR LIFE. So, for the person who has judged you as "lazy", i say get over yourself, stop judging! I love yours and Tory's talks. Good luck to you both with your future.😊
Tori does an amazing job thinking things through before voicing herself. Love the support you both have for each other.
I really like you guys and agree with a lot that you say but to say that stay at home parents work “harder” is crazy. I understand that it’s not just laying on the couch all day, but it is a luxury to have the option to do so
I think people take other people too literally these days. We have become a very judgmental society. Some of these comments are harsh and are just even more assumptions being made. I see how you guys are so passionate about clarifying you both work very hard, glad you got a chance to stand up for yourselves. What I love about you guys is that you seem like very genuine, sweet individuals and that quality has passed down to your children. That is huge! Good luck moving forward!
Thank heavens Zack got his mothers personality and not his fathers. His father is a very unpleasant person.
I think Zach gets the comment. Tori is taking it personally. We all "work" to some degree outside of a traditional job. Even people that are not stay at home parents.
It’s so nice to learn about you both minus the realty tv show. I appreciate that you view being home raising your children as important and something you want for your family. Parenting is definitely a job, and kudos to you that you rise above the negativity. You’re doing a great job - 👏🏻
Lol!!! 😂 for Tori to say he is interrupting her is hilarious! That's all she does 😢She's an over 😢Talker!!
You two are a breath of fresh air! Keep on growing together in Christ and raising your precious children and congratulations on your new show! Grace and peace,m.
I love that Tori! Being a stay at home mother and wife is super important! To raise productive ,responsible adults. Put the work in and it pays off. There is nothing more important than being there for your children.
Tori, you're totally right about mom's being at home and taking care of the family. I did the same. My husband wanted me to be a stay at home mom, I didn't want someone else raising my kids, and I didn't want to miss out on raising them cause you can never press rewind. We couldn't go on vacation or trips because we never had the money to go, but that was the trade-off for raising my kids. I wouldn't have changed it for the world, and when they got older, I worked part-time only while they were at school, and I made sure I was off before they got out of school. It worked out great,no regrets on always being there for them.😊ps just wanted to say that I understand not everyone can do this, especially if you're a single parent or your spouse's income is just not enough to make ends meet. Have a great day 😀
In response to other's comments, they are intrusive and rude. What both of you do is so positive and uplifting. I love your podcast.
Not lazy-content is a thing. My husband works hard ( we have a farm) but he doesn’t have hobbies and doesn’t care to be basic and feel the need to do what everyone else is doing. I recently said to him, “ Aren’t you worried you’ll regret it on your death bed, not having a hobby or doing projects or traveling and reading, going out of your comfort zone, etc?” He said no, I’m very content in my life, I work, I spend time with family & that’s all I need. I don’t need to do extra stuff and have things perfect,etc…🤷🏼♀️
Nothing is more of a BLESSING than spending your time raising your children. Those years are few and instilling morals and the love of God in your children is utmost important. Parents that raise their own children should be respected.
My wife and I are older and even though you are younger, you both have so much wisdom and positivity! Thank you for giving us that gift.
@Tori Being a stay at home mom is definitely a hard, busy, rewarding job. You said it right, "You are irreplaceable at home but are replaceable in the workplace." I think what most of us wonder about is what you guys do for your work (pay the bills). Obviously podcasting, but are there other irons in the fire and what does a day of work to make money look like for you guys?
Your children are blessed, and Zach has been on LPBW since he was a kid, so he did have a job, and Tori being a teacher or even a substitute teacher is difficult. Your words about stay at home moms are correct. SAHM is a job 24/7. So don't let what others think. You're both doing a great job raising kids.
I am so happy you have your own platform. I watched the show to keep up with you and your siblings. It’s so nice to see you happy and thriving post TLC. You both are the human equivalent of a big warm hug. Hope the rest of your siblings are thriving as well! ❤
Zac you are just like your Mom . Calm and chilled , I love that .
Your children are blessed to have both of you work at home and be with them. And Tori, you are beautiful!
One good piece of advice I heard when raising my 6 children was this: It's great to praise your children to them, but you should also let your children overhear you praising them to someone else. It's amazing how powerful that is....much like letting your children overhear you praying for them when they think you don't know they are listening.
You two are adorable. I think people jump to conclusions based on a few minutes of a TV reality show. I’m amazed how judgy people are. Being content is not lazy.
Stay at home mom….my mom was a stay at home mom, and both my sisters are stay at home moms (11 kids between them), AND they both homeschool the kids. It’s an amazing role!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I really enjoyed watching this podcast! I just discovered it by accident. You are both very well spoken and the conversation was interesting. I watched the show for. ❤️ about the first 5 years, but got away from it because I didn't care for your dad's attitude change. My best to you and the family in your new chapter
Love watching! I’ve watched since the beginning. Personally, I’ve felt Zach has always been himself through the whole process on LPBW. I raised eight kids and we were very busy through the years they were growing up. Now that my kids are raised, I just want to relax. I understand how you feel. It’s the simple things that matter. Thank you for all you do! Such a beautiful family you all have been blessed with!
Yes, they are “so cute”…..totally adorable. Great parenting and discussion between you two.
Being a stay at home parent is a very hard job. What I think that Tori's missing is that some people don't have a choice. I was 30 years old, married, with a great job before I had my only child. At 35 I was a single parent battling a brain tumor, working, and being a mom. Being married does not mean that your spouse won't leave or pass away. Being in a good financial position doesn't prevent you from being diagnosed with a life threatening illness and losing everything. Just from medical bills. After insurance I still had to pay 77k for surgery and hospitalization. Planning is great but it doesn't mean that things won't change. So no, you don't work harder than anyone else, but you do work hard. No one is better than anyone else. However, I do think that it's important for children to see their parents work traditional jobs of some kind because that's how they learn to work themselves. Modeling good examples are important IMO
@@madreep Very well said, thank you !!! Tori seems to have forgotten that she definitely didn't grow up rich !! I didn't agree with her comments about working harder than everybody especially when Zach is there at home everyday helping her with everything that needs to be done !!
I love that all the Roloff in general are very normal people. That's why we all relate. Peace and blessings to all of you!
So enjoying your podcasts! Thank you for continuing to share your lives in YOUR way but will miss you on the show. Honestly though? This is even better! Sending positive loving vibes to you and your family ❤
I love seeing this family weekly, Zach! I know these decisions weren't made lightly by either of you and wish you well in all your new and future endeavors. We're here for the podcast.
Tori, you nailed it! Irreplaceable as a Mother and replaceable at work. Well Said!
Yep. No matter how good you are at outside work, you are just a number and can be replaced.
I just love Tori. She is such a sweet soul . Love how down to earth they both are. Wish you both all the best.
EXCEPTIONAL explanation, Zac after the assumption you were lazy!!!!!
Phenomenal job being vulnerable and sticking up for yourself!
People who don’t need to have a traditional job because they have enough wealth or income that they don’t need to work shouldn’t be ashamed of that and try to make it seem like they work in the same way most people do. Working around your house or taking care of your children is not what people meant when they asked if you work/ have a job. You’ve both made choices that you believe are best for your family and that’s amazing, just be upfront with the fact that you have those options because of your special circumstances, wealth, fame, influence,etc.
@@karlaguerrero6071 Thank you, because Zach and Tori both have danced around that question because we all know right now with the way the world is that under normal circumstances that there is no way that Tori and Zach could both stay home and not work if it hadn't been for them being on the show but as you can see they will not be truthful about that !! In fact Zach and Tori would not have what they have today if it wasn't for TLC paying them but now they don't have the show and I don't understand how they both think they are going to be able to stay at home with their children for the rest of their lives without either one of them working because that's just not sustainable !!!
Zach is steady so sensible, reliable, self restrained. A solid man.
"I am irreplaceable in my own home. I am very replaceable outside my home. So where am I going to do the work? I am going to to the work at home." Tori Roloff . Great statement Tori!
I worked until I was 38. I got married late and had kids late. I was lucky to stay at home with both my kids. It was a lot of work but rewarding too. Tori and Zach, keep up the good work! Don’t listen to the naysayers. They are always out there especially on social media.
Zach got his dad's ability to create.
Tori don't think you really appreciate Zach enough for all he does! You are blessed to have him home to help you!
I am a single mom and had to work. I still think i "raised my own child." Not sure what you're insinuating. Good for you for having money.
I think that Tory & Zach are awesome people & parents. ❤
I find Zach so attractive. I can see why Tori adores him... Very smart, handsome, and takes the lead as the man of the house. I love me a handy and hard-working man❤
I completely agree!
Tori please know that you are valid, you are worthy of all the praise for what you do with your life. Raising children is hard work, and you are doing it! I don’t know why people assume stay at home moms are not on the job all the time, such a sillyway to think about it.
