I'm A Stay-At-Home Mom...Again! || Mayim Bialik
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 жов 2024
- Hey, it's Mayim, and now that The Big Bang Theory is behind me, I'm finding out what it's like to be a stay-at-home mom again with my two boys. And boy...is it different. I'm sure lots of parents will be able to relate to this feeling in different ways, so I'd love to hear some advice, or even just words of comfort, from you all about how to navigate this time of growing up and growing away.

About Mayim Bialik:
You might know me as Amy Farrah Fowler from The Big Bang Theory or from Blossom but there are so many other parts of me that you might not be aware of! I’m trained as a neuroscientist, I'm a passionate activist, an observant Jew, a perfectly imperfect mother, and I'm a complicated human being like many of you. This is the place where I wear all of those hats - and none of them have a flower on them! ;)
I would LOVE to see you give a TED Talk or go on a lecture tour.

@@leveecunningham1852 nice job advertising lol not really
Blue Butterfly Wellness YES! Actually, why hasn’t this happened yet?!
@@leveecunningham1852 Just, no.
yes
She has to be the most down to earth celebrity ive ever seen. Love her ❤
Anna Bordeaux Yes, I was just thinking the same thing.
@@robynsimmons3711 I sometimes forget she *is* famous. 😂😂
Anna Bordeaux I know! She’s adorable & so real, I just love her. She also has a good moral compass which is so refreshing.
I had the opportunity to work with her on BBT, and she is a really nice person.
Aedan MacDonnell I could see that. She seems really genuine. She’d be cool to have as a friend (not because of her fame, but because of her intellect and empathy).
I cried Mayim and I don’t even have kids. Mothers are the strongest people. We should all cherish them💕
Same here! Gah, I don’t even know how I’m going to survive my future babies growing up. I cherish my mama (& daddy) deeply. I hope my future kids do the same :’)
When you mentioned that you watched their hair grow strand by strand...that got me. That hit the feelers real hard ♡
I don’t even have children, and yet I clung to every word you just spoke. Your openness and honesty is so heartwarming and refreshing. You’re a beautiful speaker.
I am not a mom, but a nineteen-year-old who can tell you that despite your kids growing older, start to slowly grow apart, becoming more independent and figuring out who they are, you won't get less important to them. It may seem like it since they learned to watch over themselves and can maneuver most situations without your help. But where they are now, where they stand, this is all thanks to you and they will never forget that. And you will always be their mother and they will love you just as much as they used to before.
Elisabeth I am the mom to a nineteen year old son and you just made me cry the happiest tears of joy!!!
I'm a Mom to a 17 year old and that made me almost cry. Thanks
This is so sweet, you have a great mom
You're sweet
Beautifully said❤️
You are slowing moving of Parenting as Manager to Parenting as Consultant. As the parent of grown children I can tell you this stage is great!
This made me cry!!!! I’m in the toddler stage and this made me make sure I cherish while I can!!!!!! Thank you for sharing and being so vulnerable! Loved this!😘😭😘😭😘
Ieasha Woods toddlers are the best:) curious little creatures that sometimes test you to your very core. Then you watch them sleep and your heart just explodes. Every stage is precious, it’s all learning and changing and accepting you are going to make mistakes. But one day as tough as the toddler stage is you will miss it. You’ll miss everything about it, especially knowing it’s never coming back... but then you look at your amazing child and how they grew into this amazing person and your heart explodes... just like when you used to watch them sleep.
My children are now 19 and 21... it really is true, it goes by in a blink if the eye.... but I remember those long toddler days. They can be challenging but just remember you might be one temper tantrum away from ever having another one, one bed time story away from the last.. one potty accident from never buying diapers or pull ups again... there will be lots of lasts... but still many first. Enjoy the ride:)
@@pennydaytreasures8173 i want to cry😭😭beautiful👏👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
This is the first video of yours that actually made me cry. I can relate. You are not alone.
❤
I would mention that I am not sure that the whole TV thing made much of a difference. My eldest turned from a little girl who saw the world through my eyes into a teenager who basically wants me away from her and her friends because she is building a world of her own, in like six months. I knew it was coming, and I know that it is good because it means she is growing properly, but boy it is hard. I thought that it would be gradual and it was definitely not. Anyway, what I meant is that this development would probably have blindsided her even staying at home.
I cried too
@@CrystalKat are your babies grown too? 😭 Mine doesn't need me anymore 😭
@H No *big hugs* It's ok. We will all just cry together.
I don't know why I am watching this, I am 24yo guy and not married. I need to work. well loved the video and BBT.
Maybe you needed to see it. My be preparing you for your future or you need to call home and tell your parents you love them. 🦋
Jibran Iqbal you’ll be there one day. :-)
I am 19 and am watching this. I don't even know why...

I'm 16 and I'm a Fan of BBT and Blossom , and you get the idea when your ready to settle down and Start a family.
Mayim I'm 60 years old and I still remember my mother's soft skin and hands right before I would go to sleep. Your kids will always hold you in their hearts and souls.
❤😍 that is so sweet
“The most secure job in the universe.” That perspective thing is so important. If any mom struggles (okay we all struggle), this is the most important line you’ll hear. Watch it all to the end. ❤️ I loved this.
I’m a dad, but this beautifully expresses the experience of parenthood. Thank you for saying it so well.
Remember parents, the days may be long, but the years are surprisingly short.
Over 1k likes? You, parents, humble me! I give over 1k likes to YOU, parents! To the sleep deprived parents! To the parents of toddlers, teenagers and every age in between! To the parents whose kids are parents themselves! To the parents enjoying that 30 seconds between their kids falling asleep and themselves falling asleep! To the full-time parents and the part-time parents! To the parents who are confused between feeling guilty their kids don’t need them always but enjoying peace for the first time in DECADES! I give YOU over 1k likes the working parents and the working-from-home parents! You will ALWAYS be the most important person in the room!! To acting parents, neuroscientist parents, high school graduate parents and school of hard knocks parents! To all the parents whose descriptions are not mentioned here! Each and every one of you have over a thousand likes from me!! I thank you all in general and I thank Mayim Bialik specifically for allowing me this forum. There aren’t enough likes for the likes of her!
Rye Whiskey you’re a Happier fan?! Sweet!
Happier?
Gretchen Rubin of the Happier Podcast used that saying! Where did you first hear it?
I think it’s a common expression. I heard it on a local radio station years ago. When I heard it, I just thought that truer words were never spoken. When a child is upset or sick or won’t sleep, 24 hours seems like a lifetime. I look at my eldest and can remember every detail of carrying him in my arms. Where his head rested, how he weighed next to nothing, his new baby smell, I can hear all his types of crying from fussy to hungry to in pain, and then realize that he’ll be 17 in two months.
Rye Whiskey ❤️
LOOOOOVVVEEE the haircut! It's a super cute look on you.
First thing I thought when I clicked on this video was...OMG what a cute haircut!
@@lindam.6782 I did see it and you are right! I guess I'm so used to seeing the before Amy that I forgot. This cut is definatly working for her.
I'm about to be 26 and I still give my mom cuddles and we'll lay in her bed and watch TV. There is nothing more safe and comforting as a mother's presence
You are a dream - daughter, by real!!!!! Lucky mom!!!!
I'm 39 and still do that with my Mom sometimes when I'm over at my parents house. You're *never* too old for cuddles from your Momma. ❤️
I hope my daughter's do that.
When I get sick, mom is being called ♥️ somethings never change. That’s a good thing.
Cherish these moments you all. I Lost my mum a year and a half ago and God knows what i'd give to share a minute with her, even Just a minute
I raised four and in the early years dreaded the sound of “mommy” being screamed non stop. Even in stores, I was trained to turn my head to any call from a small child saying “mommy”. My pockets or bags always held tissues, new or used. I had snacks stashed in the car or pocketbooks just in case someone was having a meltdown. This changed to potty training, driving to sport activities, to boyfriends houses, off to school.....I didn’t have the empty nest syndrome when they began to leave, because , honestly, I had a few more still at home. I realized that I made all of my mistakes with trial and error on my first born, but got much better by number four. They all survived me and have gone on to good careers and move out of the house and into their own with their new family. My house has become quieter, which I love, and cleaner, which I love even more. Now the next part is my grandkids who are quickly filling up the void left when my gang moved out. It’s just a circle and I have found that any stage I am in at the moment seems to always be the best ( although being a grandma really is fabulous! ) .
Meghan Plamondon Amen! And yes being a grandma is wonderful!
Thanks, I have 4 ages 3-10. Glad I have a lot to look forward to!
As a stay at home father of two (3 and a 7 year old with special needs) your story has given me hope and prospective. Helping me to appreciate what I have a little more but also to look forward to change and the evolution of our relationships.
Completely off topic but I just wanted to tell you that your new haircut suits you so well and you are glowing Mayim!
I was thinking the same thing.
missyoung888 agreed!
Love it!
I don't like that cut on many, but it looks really good on her.
missyoung888 omg 😮 I was going to say the same thing. 👍🏼😊
The success of a good parent is when your kids can go off and be a successful adults with good morals, values, and relationships. You’re always going to be needed and wanted no matter what. You’re always going to be mom. That relationship however will change and evolve in many ways. Who you are to them shouldn’t.
Mayim, being a stay-at-home mom is a wonderful thing to be. I am positive you're going to find new ways to bond with your children as time goes on. One very important aspect I saw in your video was the real love you have for your children. Hold onto the hugs as long and as often as you can and build precious memories that can sustain you when they are grown and leave home. "LAK - Life After Kids" is great too, but I would gladly trade it all for a good hug from my boys at nighttime.
p.s. I enjoyed and appreciated the joy you gave me as "Amy".
And will always be Amy Farrah Fowler in the hearts of us fans. Thank you!
Hahahaha she'll always be blossom and cc bloom to me.
You apparently did a great job producing self sufficient young men and should be proud of that significant accomplishment. You care a great deal about things. That is plainly apparent.
BEAUTIFUL! Just don't let the regrets and second guessing outweigh the good things that are going on now and your hopes and dreams for the future. I'm 60 and I stayed home with my four as often as possible. There were times when I had to work, but mostly I did whatever I could find to do to earn from home and we've been fortunate. Never label yourself "unemployed", because moms are ALWAYS employed. Not always paid, but always employed if they care for their children. Oh, I LOVE this video! Thank you for sharing!!
OMG! Crying sahm over here! You just gave me a glimpse of my future. Was the goal to make all mom's everywhere cry? Cause it worked!!! Thank you for sharing 😭💙💙👩
Omg right???? Glad my 7 year old is as big a mama’s boy as they come! Ha ha! I cherish every day he still thinks I’m the most important person in his world!🥰
im a single dad of a 11 year old girl. we've been alone since she was 2, so i can relate. :)
God bless!
This Is Amazing, no joke intended. Congrats, very mindful and corageous choice!
God bless you!
Awesome!! It’s not to often you come across single fathers, it’s usually the other way around. Kudos and blessings to you dad!!❤️
Just remember when you’re commenting about her mother on a public platform, she and those who know her could see it. Be vary careful in what you say and disclose as it could be used against you. Just a heads up, I wouldn’t want things to get messed up for you
When my daughter refused my hug, I thought my life was over.
But you have done new stand the hugs are Not going to last forever or grandma's kisses are not going to last forever or mama's kisses are not going to last forever because they outgrow that... They say mom a grandmaw I'm too old for that or my friends are watching stop that.... But in the world today you wouldn't want to be caught hugging or kissing your son or daughter because you never know how someone's gonna take it... What's really stinks.... My best friend gave his best friend A hug in a store one time and she got fired because Boss thought she was doing something sexual... She took that place to court but she lost because she was socializing during work hours but really she only had 5 minutes left... And on her record 8 says she was fired for sexual harassment by giving somebody a hug... And it's still on her record to day we gotta be careful you never know who's watching who's taking pictures or what somebody will say.. I know it's a little silly for me to say this But this is the world we have come to
Awww it's the other way around for me. My mom hates it when I hug her or I am sweet to her. Yeah,my mom hates me 😂 Since I was 13 yrs old, now Im 21 and still don know why 😂
I remember when I first did that with my mom. Her solution was to hug me inside the house, lol!! I compromised and even now if she wants a hug when I come over its inside the house.
@@iannytabale8994
Things were different before you were 13?
If so then I wonder if your mom experienced some kind of trauma.
I feel so bad you think your mom hates you.
If she was always loving and then changed I think at 22 you should ask her.
I know this isn't my business but I feel terrible for you. Sending 💕 your way.
My daughter is 30 years old.
@@missmissy_90 not exactly, we are not really close because we are the exact opposite. I noticed it when I was 13. She's different with my brothers. My brothers try to like make her like me like she does too them but it was no use so i kind of live with it. I mean she cares for me as a daughter and that's enough. I guess I'm just not the favorite, I can live with that. 😊
The teen years aren’t as frightening as the media claims, and one day they’ll call out again for help because you will be the only one they trust with their new baby. Being Grandma is even more awesome.
lemmonjeepgrl so true! My youngest is 18 and the teen years were not bad at all except for mood swings and reminders you do not speak to mommy like that! My oldest is 24 and grandbabies are still awhile off I look forward to it
I needed this video today ❤ I have a 2.5yr old son and am pregnant with my second son, we had a tough day, but one day I know I will miss this.
Oh how you will miss this.
You are STILL the most important person in their lives! Thanks for sharing!
Extremely beautiful and tender sentences in this video!
Thank you Mayim❤❤❤❤❤
This made me cry. My kids are 4 and 10 and watching them grow is a joy and heartbreak at the same time. I relate to this on such a deep level. Love you to pieces.
Amy Morris this made me cry too and my kids are 42 & 36. I’m getting ready to watch one of my grandkids this morning.
Oh the tears . I needed this on a day like today where my 1 and 2 year old seam impossible , I struggle with being a military wife and also part time working mom and wondering if I could take a month long vacation . This brought me back to reality. Thank you ! ❤️
💕💕💕 It is hard when they are little! Hang in there.
A mom is a full time 24 hour daily job. Much respect to all the great parents out there! ♡
And it never ends. Thank God.
Miss_USS_Liberty, what is your problem? If you don’t like her, why are you here and why are you hiding under a nickname. Grow up.
Does the respect include fathers?
24 hours a day, from their birth til the day you die.
I love your hair. Your a gorgeous lady. 😊 And a great mom!
I feel that way when my son gets a leg cramp and calls for me in the middle of the night, he’s 19 and in college
But he’s my baby
Tracy Compean lol
Give him a banana, orange juice or a glass of V-8. Probably a potassium depletion.

Love your haircut. You look great and happy! Wow totally relate, w/big kids vs the need that the little ones have.
Christina Dimitriou, my baby is now 19 and I jump at any chance to do for him still ☺️.
I totally relate!! My son is 31, as I watch him interact with his kids (3yrs, 5yrs, 6 and 8), I am thrilled. I remember what it was like. Now when we say goodbye after a visit, he hugs me and calls me Mommy! My heart is. beyond happy, have to fight back the tears! They grow up way too fast.
Barb Guillory Aw! I always say every stage is its own kind of beautiful 💙.
You are raising healthy, well adjusted young men. Their needs will continue to evolve and you will always be needed and important but in different ways. You are doing great!!
Melissa H it makes me so happy when I see or hear of a child who is setting boundaries, because it’s a sign of a healthy home. A child that will just accept to have their hair ruffled etc that’s a child I worry about because all humans if it’s a healthy home will get to the point where they ask the person to stop to ruffle their hair. I love to hear that her children are comfortable telling her ”no” when she asks them if they wish to play board-games. A safe child is aware of their right to set boundaries in big and small ways.💛
This made me cry cuz I can see my future.. we should really appreciate the time with the little kids
I'm currently pregnant with my first child, i have already decided that I am going to leave my job, I am happy with my decision and looking forward to being a first time mum
jayne vaughan Wow! That’s awesome !
The toughest job you’ll ever L❤️VE
Jayne Vaughan I stayed home with all 4 of my children and it was the best decision I ever made. You will never regret it.
Good luck!
I'm going to take flak for this but, it's the hardest job you'll ever have to do. ✊❤
Omg. I was nodding my head like crazy when you were talking! I can relate so much! While my son is a few years older than yours (he's 19), I had/have all the same feelings you expressed. I remember when my son needed me ALL THE TIME. He never liked me out of his line of sight. Hugs and cuddles came freely w/o eye rolls and sighs. Soon he'll be out on his own and living his life. When I look at him, I can't help but to be proud of the man he's become/becoming. You still have many years before this happens, so enjoy every moment.
Brought tears to my eyes... I have an 18 months old and a 4 year old. Beautiful narration ❤
This touched me deeply. While I was with my son all the way until now when he turns 12, I experience that shift, too. I was a stay-at-home mom, too. I had the same high demands towards myself and was an equally close mother to my son, and now I experience that he foesn‘t need me as much. He still does need me, but in a different way. And inside I celebrate each voluntarily given hug and „I love you mom“. Those things are getting rarer and more precious.
I don't have any children as of yet, but I watch your videos in the hopes that I can take what wonderful advice you have and apply it to my future kids. You are so honest and kind. I imagine that has had such an amazing impact on your children. Thank you for the guidance. You're awesome!
I don't have any kids, yet this still made me cry. God bless you, Mayim. You are an amazing mama :)
Your amazing, your a mom, an actor, a scientist and a brave person. So thank you for being Amy and Mayim
I have a 19 month old and I’m so overwhelmed. This is bringing me to tears. I feel like I’m drowning with the responsibility of being a stay at home mom to a toddler, but hearing your story and realizing this is temporary makes me feel sad. I will miss it. I love my son. I love that he wants to play “cut the toy fruit in half” with me and asks me to sit with him while he colors and eats and plays puzzles. I will miss this when it’s over. Ty for the perspective. I needed to hear it.
facemonkey13 SAME!!! 😭
facemonkey13 I’m 65. Three kids, eleven grands. I still wish I had a mother who wanted me and my siblings instead of feeling that we ruined her life. She was such an unhappy woman. I loved my kids band made sure they knew it but I gotta say, grandkids are the best. If you can hang on through the tough parenting years and they can be the hardest times you can imagine and the best as well. But if you can hang on through the toddler tantrums, the school years, the dating heartbreaks, weddings.....the you get the reward. Grandchildren. All the love, all the fun, all the play, but not the all encompassing, overwhelming responsibility. You young moms hang on, don’t be discouraged. I made every mistake possible raising my kids but kids are resilient. And I’m having a ball with my grands. Each one different, each one special, each one loving and affectionate. It’s a great life and a wonderful gift to have kids.
I have an 18 month old and a five year old and I'm definitely laying in bed crying over this video after having a tough day home by myself with them. ❤️
It's a tough job! It's temporary tho, so we don't see ALL moms being "miserable" in the overwhelming moments.... we all need to give ourselves a break more often.
Don't forget to sit down with actual books and read to your toddler. It is great bonding cuddle time and by simply pointing your finger on the words you read, you teach him to read too. I accidentally taught my daughter to read this way. By two y.o. she was reading package labels and road signs.
😭 Life lesson: Cherish every single second you have with your babies because before you know it they will grow up💔
La Poochi they do in the blink of an eye☹️ But then you have grandkids and they are the BEST 😍💖❤️
Off topic but I love your hair like this 😍💟
I am not a parent but i LOVE hearing your thoughts on parenthood. You trust us with who you really are and that is extremely touching. Thank you for sharing!
I'm a 23-year-old single woman and yet, I'm crying and relating to this. I felt like a mom for a moment, then suddenly, I'm imagining my future emotions if and when I become a mom and I'm in that position. How'd you do that Mayim? You're so amazing.
I'm 23 now three years on from your comment and feel the same way. Idk, felt called to say I hope everything's going well for you and, hopefully, when _I'm_ 26 I'll have my own family and this whole process will be as cyclical as life itself.
I got exhausted just hearing you describe a day with two toddlers. Moms are amazing. Mad props to each and every one of you.
I went through that feeling of not feeling needed. Now my son is 23 and I only get calls when they need a baby sitter but at least I'm needed.
Pamela Cook im sure your son thinks of you every day !
That's so sad. I don't have children but i imagine this has to be one of the hardest part of being a parent.
The way I see it, if your children still need you to do the little things at that age, you didn’t do it right. Rejoice in bringing up an independent man ! P.S He will ALWAYS need you
If you choose to just be a stay-at-home parent, that's something you need to face
@@StephanieTips you face it even if you aren't a SAHM.
As a mom of a toddler with long days - I loved this
I look up to you so much!! I love neuroscience and brain plasticity and it’s rare when I find someone who wants to geek out. I don’t want my own kids, because (with DBT) I’m learning how to mother myself and it’s not for me. However, I am writing this comment to let you know I use your videos to learn what unconditional love as a parent looks like. I can see how much you care about your children and it helps me model how to care about myself in a healthy and compassionate way. Thank you!!
This was such a special message! I love the passion you have for your children! I love your personality! Your so down to earth and so smart. I really enjoying listening to you.❤
Have you written a book? Id read that👋😍
Edit: i realize you have written a few books. I meant on your life as a mom your feelings on things not a guide. A heart to heart.
She has
Dear Mayim, could you give shurs from Torah with your life experiences? Thanks!
That's a lovely idea!
I seriously cried! So sweet ❤️ Praying for you, Mayim!
She was getting all emotional!
As a mother of a 6 month old this makes me sad. At this stage my son needs me a lot and as stressful as it is right now, I will definitely miss it when he grows up.
This tugged at my heart strings so much!!! I have tears rivering down my cheeks...
Never was a fan but this video was absolutely on point... heartfelt... well-spoken.... and above all touching! Best wishes in all you do my dear!
I’m not even a mom and you made me tear up🥺 I love you Mayim 😁
Shalom 🤗
This video literally made me cry ugly tears. There is nothing more beautiful then the family we create ❤️ We want a break so badly until we have it and then we yearn for their softness and their need for us.
I felt your pain. My "babies" are your age, but you reminded me how that never goes away.I cried.🥺

This was sooo comforting and hilarious and sad and just... all of the emotions! My daughter is nearly 18 months and I dread the day that I will have to go a whole day of work without her and not be able to watch her discover new things and get to love her all the time. But she will grow in her own way and so will I and she will love me for it. For now, I’m just appreciating every moment and taking it as it comes! ❤️🥰 loved this so much.
Well thanks for making me bawl! And my babies are 35, 30 & 26! ❤️❤️❤️
Me too.
I was so encouraged by your previous video about SAHM life and I am challenged by this one to really soak up the time. I cried and felt so much, thank you for sharing in this way.
Current stay at home mom to 3 toddler boys.... Thank you for helping me be greatful for the now!
I feel exactly the same as a single and sometimes overwhelmed working mom of a 3 year old... Sometimes I just want him to learn to do everything by himself really fast, just so things will be easier for me. But I know I'll really miss those days when he's older.
These are the best days of your life, I promise. When things get rough with the littles, remember that and be thankful. The quiet of pre-teens and teens taking care of themselves is depressing. 🤣
That was so relatable. I cannot express how much I needed to hear that. I’m a mom to an 8 year old boy and a 6 year old girl. I will put more effort into just being, as best I can. Thank you for the real talk! 🌼
The absolutely most deeply felt video I have watched. I felt it to my soul as a mother of boys growing quickly out of young childhood.
Ugh...all the feels 😢 Motherhood is such a roller coaster of emotions and experiences. Thank you for this video 💜
Awesome video. Being a mom is the hardest job anyone will every have the privilege of doing and is so under appreciated. Love the shorter hair. Keep up the excellent job. So enjoy seeing your videos.
Loved every minute of your post. Even when I had to start crying! I'm 61 and love every minute I get to spend with my grown up 3 kids. And believe me, even 35 year olds still need their mom :) He doesn't cry out for me of course but still calls every day and loves to just talk... and I listen.. Just treasure every single day, it is such a wonderful journey!
Beautifully put. I love the way your mind thinks. I am a new subscriber definitely!
Welp! That made me cry. I’m so grateful that I’m able to stay home with my baby and witness all of these amazing moments, but WOW did that make me sad thinking about her not needing me as much.
You are sweet like cherry...just an inspiration for every mothers..so strong yet calm...loved your expression of feelings.such warmth. .I m sure they will feel proud of you...after seeing this video and will spend more time with you .
You are such an honest person Mayim. Thank you for this extremely moving video..so relatable. It's so relaxing and at the same time so heart-breaking to see our babies not needing us anymore. Love from France
This brought a real tear to my eye (and down my cheeks if I’m honest!). As a 28 year old married woman, I can still remember the way it felt when my mum would lie behind me when I was a little girl and I’d had a nightmare or couldn’t sleep. I think about it more often now, since she passed away. I don’t doubt that even though you may not be the centre of their worlds anymore, your love will be at the centre of them forever, because that love and security you give them is such a blessing, and they will feel the effects throughout life 💖 I hope my husband and I will be lucky enough to be able to go through these defining experiences ourselves one day, and have our own children to adore. I very much enjoy your videos, even if I may not agree always on more divisive topics or have similar experiences, it’s lovely to hear somebody express their point of view so eloquently and not at all judgementally 😊 all the best x
Wow this made me cry! I have 3 boys 5,3,1 and I know this day will come and I fear it. 😥
Thanks for sharing your heart and putting words to the feelings so many of us moms have had. You're awesome 🎊🎉🥰
Ah this is why I find parenting so hard. I think I always want them to be little and need me but at the same time I need to be an individual again. I have two children (nearly 2 and 4 1/2) and am caught between wanting a third and not feeling equipped to go through it all again! I love your videos, thank you xx
This made me cry! Young mom over here. Thanks for the wonderful video - puts things in prospective!
Older mom 61, even the grandchildren are almost grown, 4 are. I cried too.
Your hair is sensational!!!! I love it!
Suzane Silveira i knowwww i cant stop watching it moving!
Also, you are so well spoken. You are amazing to listen to
This is so encouraging to me. I have two five-year-old boys and our house is SO LOUD and they squabble ALL THE TIME. Thank you for sharing, and thank you for simply being you. It's refreshing.
😭😭 I’m such an emotional person and being a mum has really intensified that!
I love Mayim the mom! As a mom myself, I am so proud of the mom you are. It’s refreshing to watch how grounded you are. G-d bless you!
Why are you censoring yourself? It's okay to type God.
panda berries it’s ok, you probably do not know this, but it’s a sign of respect in the Hebraic tradition to write it G-d. Many Jewish people believe the name is so sacred that you write it G-d. But you could give that a google if you would like. The name is not offensive
Well That Happened: OFFICIAL CONTACT thanks for turning me around, have a great day
Oh mayim....I feel your truth, thank you I have two little ones and you are reminding me to cherish them at every stage. Much love to you are your family 🙏🏾❤️
Love! Thank you for sharing your story. While watching I kept thinking of that saying 'the days are long but the years are short'.
I love this. Thank you for putting words to the weird time we are currently in raising our kiddos... (my two sons are just a couple of years older than Mayim’s, so her stories are so relatable and timely for me.)
I will be honest and say that I had no opinion of you prior to the Big Bang Theory. Your previous work was important after I was already an adult. However, having seen your consistently amazing performance in the role of Amy Farah Fowler in TBBT I became a mid-life fan-boi. Your channel is welcome in these turbulent times. You're real. You're open. I welcome you into my home/life/consciousness openly. All the women with whom I have lifetime friendships found their way to be both working & stay-at-home mothers. From the blossoming (sorry) at the time internet to professional therapists, they each found a way to work from home so they could be present for their children. While you were not necessarily 'at-home' with them, you have been able to keep your priorities in line and make your children the focus. You prefer to be a 'regular' parent who works to support her family and have that need to be a fully realized individual, but you are an amazing mother. Thank you for setting a standard for this generation. You are an amazing woman. It would be an incredible pleasure to be in your circle because I'm sure you are also an amazing friend.
You are such a sweetheart.
I love your channel and your message ! 💕 thank you for posting these type of videos! Being a stay at home mom is not easy but is the best job I’ve ever had even on my sleepless nights ❤️
Made me cry.I am a mom of an almost five year old girl.And I miss all those moments that we had.Every day I miss our yesterday and I always feel guilty for not spending enough time with her.
Only watching you I understand that actors are just People. Thank you for your videos and sharing your personality
Love ya and yes all of my children are grown. Miss taking care of them and I am there for them when they need me. Now they have families of there own . So now I have a fur baby . Yes my children are jealous of her .
Your shorter hair looks FANTASTIC! ( Enjoy your MOM time!!!!)
This video was so moving, idk if anyone else felt the same, but I could feel the pain and struggle that you are expereincing rn. I am sure I cherish my 1yo more now, cause I know his dependence will not last forever and it will be difficult to let go. Thank you, for this feeling. Lots of love💓
