    If good parenting - disciplining your children - makes other people have a negative impression of you, then the fault is with them, not you. You are doing just what you should do.

    Never feel quilty for disciplining your kids. So many parents today don't. Your kids will grow up binging respectful to others. And that will show what wonderful parents they have.

    Traveling is SO enriching for all ages. You don't have to do it a lot, but shoot for twice a year -- one bigger adventure and one smaller local adventure. Visiting other places, other communities, other personalities, other landscapes, other regional cultures, will make both you and your kids better humans. Kids don't necessarily appreciate it when they're young, but they can look back later and appreciate it more, and it truly accelerates their brain growth. I'm so glad my parents took us camping every year and road trips to different states. I got to go to France when I was 15 as a nanny for 2 weeks. My oldest boy went to Peru with his class when he was 14. My youngest boy saved money as a young adult to go to Japan. My oldest daughter went to Germany & Africa. We gave them the travel bug young -- it's so great! And it gets better & better as they grow. Good job, Roloffs! ❤

    As someone else said, continue traveling with the kids but also know how much the kids can take according to what you're doing (like the tournaments). But I have great memories of family trips as a kid, and I'm 66 years old. And don't feel bad for disciplining your kids in public; more parents should do that.

    The thing about children is they don’t give you any prewarning on when the blow up or overwhelm you, stress is real when you are a parent. Surround yourself with parents who can give you advice and calm you down. But don’t worry, your doing great, have patience life is a journey. 😊❤

    Great podcast! I also really enjoyed y’all on The Unplanned Podcast. I thought Zach especially was so well-spoken and eloquent (not that you were not, Zach just spoke more than usual). My father was in the military. We moved 23 times in 25 years of Daddy’s military service. There are 5 of us, and at one point in our lives Mama had 4 children under the age of 5-one with special-needs. Suffice to say, we knew how to move. We always flew to the next post-even the dog. We all learned to pack a backpack, with books etc. because Mama did not put up with any disruptive behavior on the plane. I was older, so I could help (kept the other little ones) if Mama had to go to the restroom to discipline an unruly sibling. She didn’t beat us, but she just had a way of looking at us and speaking to us that made her look like she was about to go nuclear….by the way, I am a retired teacher, (Special Needs) and listening to a book counts as reading a book. 📚 📖 📕 😊

    Reading vs. Listening is interesting. I listen to tons and love it and have had debate w many ppl. Done some googling and most say it is the same, but maybe does different things, pretty sure said when Listening you tend to imagine visuals of the story more than if you were reading and reading helps learn spelling more of course. Like doing an elliptical forwards vs. backwards, same thing overall, just different muscles.

The used to have a thing where you can go back and forth from reading on kindle to listening. So you can read the book all the time.

    Tori do not beat yourself up! I have a 35 yr old son, soon to be 28 yr old daughter, and a 12 yr son. My youngest and I took a direct flight from Austin to Orlando . My 12 yr old seen the flight attendant on Delta giving the kids in front of us fruit snacks. (They were in business class) When the flight attendant came to our row they asked my son, “Would you like sun chips or biscoff?” He was so upset!! His words were, “That is so rude! They should have the option to give ALL kids fruit snacks instead of OLD PEOPLE SNACKS!” 🤣 I laughed inside but that little bit of seclusion really hurt him. I tried explaining that they paid more for their seats. He didn’t care!!!! He said, “It doesn’t matter we are ALL CHILDREN!” Seclusion comes in all forms. From Race, Religion, and to even size!” He had a good point but even though he was right it bothered me as a Momma to see something so petty bothering him. The whole flight was spent hearing him talk about it not being fair! I’m terrified of flying too! He did have his snacks and it made me so proud to see him offer his own haribo candy and fruit snacks with the poor kids (his words)! I told him to be thankful just for the opportunity to be able to fly and go out of state for a 2 week vacation. We just moved to Gatesville, Texas last November and there are many of kids that have never left the city of Gatesville their whole life! All they know is WalMart, H-E-B, and the dollar tree! They never even seen a Hobby Lobby more less know what kind of store it is!

And, I say this as a patriot with love and sadness-DC is a very clean city, but that’s because the “dirt” that happens is in the corruption in the belly of the town, in secret rooms…
