Pffffffffffft WHAT?! As a former teacher I can confidently say that getting your GED is NOT a shameful thing, and DOESN’T mean that education “fell to the wayside” or just wasn’t important.” GOOD on them for having the commitment to FINISH. This assumption is a little mind blowing.
As someone who wound up getting my GED due to health issues, this kind of thinking is very common. I had a "friend" at the time joke that I got my Good Enough Degree. That really hurt, especially because I had spent 7 years attempting to finish high school the traditional way but it just wasn't going to happen due to my health struggles. But I did excellent on my GED because of all I had learned. I have it framed on my wall because of the incredibly hard work it represents.
It’s the school system that’s messed up
An on a job application they see a high school diploma, an GED as the same, an to be honest I have seen a GED prep book an I graduated high school an from college, an had issues with answering the questions so as far as the GED test goes it's not easy by far
I got my GED solely so I could take my astrophysics and astrobiology courses sooner, and it also enabled me to partake in occupational engineering/astroengineering training. I would love to quiz that person on basic science and math. Because clearly THEY are the uneducated ones. GED is not a lesser equivalent degree....
@@BMarie774 That's amazing, good on you! I know lots of people get a GED to finish high school sooner, so they can get started on the college or training program they want. So it's definitely not just an "if you can't do traditional high school" option.
It is so beautiful that Nicole asked Shelley to be in the delivery room with her. That means she really trusts her which is of course beautiful with Lacey too, but Nicole hasn't been in the family that long so it makes it even more special.
Also about education: every kid is different and everyone needs different challenges and forms of education. I'm European, don't really know what a GED is, but I don't think we should judge anyone as long as they try to learn and improve. And that can be a different journey for everyone.
A GED is a general education certificate. You study up and take a test and it’s on a variety of school topics. It is not a diploma which many people think is better. Sometimes it can be harder to get into some colleges.
@@donnayancy2401 unfortunately employers are also bias about GED’s also. I have a high school diploma so I don’t have first hand experience, but I know it happens.
@@donnayancy2401 but it still means they finished high school, if I understand well
@@moviemagus1921 yes you are correct.
@@moviemagus1921 its kinda same as cito...kinda
As someone who is part of lgbtq+ community I love and appreciate this family so much I feel like if I was a kid of this family I will be so loved and supported I freakin love that
Fully agree with you.
True!!!!
Don’t you have a family?
@@nancyfarkas3592 not all families are supportive
@@jessicavandervelde3067 not the point but ok
You made me so happy when you said you block people who are disrespectful (hateful) to the children. Yes! As parents we feel their emotions. We protect. My children are in their 30s and I am still protective if someone was unkind. As I should. Much love from me here in chilly Nottingham 🇬🇧
It’s so odd to me that people think getting your GED means you don’t care about school. Getting a GED is a really admirable things and shows that you value education! Good for them! Also Im a member of the lgbtq+ community so I love that you’re supportive of us!
getting the education you want is still great! what’s important is that the kids are doing what’s best for them, and at the end of life college v ged won’t matter
It's a testament to your patenting that Lacey wants to respond to the negative comments - not to start start argument but to check in on the other person.
That sort of kindness and empathy is the kind I hope my future kids will show as well.
I love your acceptance of everyone. Love is love. If you do adopt more kids, they will be well loved!
I love this family! When I am having a rough day, you guys bring a smile to my face! Thank you for your family!
Not ditching the rude assumptions is truly a sign of your transparency as a family. I’m shocked and appalled that your school, district would not accept Cynthia’s and Harlan’s credits from St.John’s. They should be brought to task for that. This world needs more families like yours. 👍🏾💜
I absolutely love your reply to the lgbtq+ question; “we still love our son”. This makes me truly happy and as a member of the lgbtq+ community myself it means the world to know we have your support 🥰🤓 THANK YOU 🤓🥰
I don't think it's just that you're blessed with well behaved children, but your kids know that you have their back and they can trust you, and they have a huge family and everyone seems to be supportive of each other so they probably all feel safe and validated so they don't have a reason to act out.
Beautiful words!
Can I just say I adore Shelly and Jared’s relationship with each other and Jared’s relationship with all the kids. I never knew my dad since he abandoned us when I was a baby and I’ve always craved that so seeing such an amazing father spending time with his kids just makes me so happy that your kids have that bond.
I feel like the family is already complete because the kids are growing up fast and grandchildren will eventually fill up the family. Love Keep it Crazy Fam ♥️
I agree
That doesn’t mean they feel that way though
@@notmyrealname4978 it's just my perspective. Don't worry I'm not forcing them to feel that way. I still support them no matter what 😊
Maybe but it is weird to imagine Jared and Shelly living all by themselves one day. I mean it probably will happen one day but it is weird to think about it.
Maybe things just fall into place. The right kid or kids in the right time. And whether it's boys or girls doesn't really matter at all.
Best thing is:
We will see! 😉
When Lacey was reading the questions I was answering yes or no or whaat? To some of them. Do some people not pay attention when they watch the videos? There is so much love in your family I can feel it come through the video! I laughed so hard at Shelley & Jared kissing! 😆😆 You know how to clear a room. You all make my day! Love you all! 💕💕💕💕💕
I have watched you for several years and I really do admire and respect your whole family! Recently, I introduced your family to my husband, and now he looks forward to seeing your videos, too 😊. Your kids are all wonderful and each one is precious. Hope you have an awesome year! Best always from Georgia!
No shame in getting your GED! It's just an alternative path to finishing high school for anyone who wants/ needs that. I got mine due to health issues after struggling through 7 years of attempting high school. I am so grateful to the woman who suggested & encouraged me to go that path, it was the right option for me!
I’m not from America and don’t know what a GED is. But I don’t understand why a school won’t count years in a different school as school and ask the child to redo their whole high school. Is that normal in America?
My favorite thing to have ever learned was in my freshman year of college. In a history class, we spent a few weeks on Confucian analects and my favorite one essentially translates to “learning is never ending” because that is true in life.
I love when a Crazy video comes up. Actually I wait patiently each day for one. I love each of you and how you make us part of your families. You have bought so much awareness to fostering, and adoption. You are really a role model for those who want to become a foster family. I loved, loved, loved this video more then most because everyone was natural. No over drama just natural. Less in my opinion is more. Ty for sharing your families
So much love in this family, so many children out there still looking for love and family!! So lovely to know your hearts have room for more!!
Adoption is not for everyone and it’s not really as easy as you think
Your family has helped so much when it comes to accepting what I went through in foster care. You have shown,e that I'm not alone and that it gets better. It also makes me happy to know that there are people out here like you guys. I also saw that you and your sister love keep[ing siblings groups together and that just warms my heart because there was a possibility that I was never going to see my sister again and I don't want anyone else to go through that type of pain. Just knowing that people are helping and making kids' lives better and getting them on to the right track helps me sleep better at night!!! I love you guys so much!!!!
You all shine such a bright light onto this world that we all need right now! Love you guys!
I love the fact the kids want you to give a home to more children. They see they have a secure a loved family and want other children to have what they have. You are bringing up such selfless caring kids who are going to mature into wonderful adults who inturn will make amazing parents themselves from having such great role models as yourselves ❤
Mason was smiling the whole video 😀 Bless your family I have been watching you guys for 3-4 years I love your family!!
I absolutely love watching your clips, and the fact your family is big and all the kiddos you have adopted are so blessed. I’m dealing with cancer right now and I sit and watch you guys and mentally I am lifted...
I think you're one of the most upstanding channels on UA-cam. I appreciate your morals and character. You're just good people. Love all you guys!❤
Y'all are so sweet! I'm an adult and never had a good couple role model when I was growing up so it's really nice to see how calm and accepting you two are and how you work together to raise your kids. ❤️
I love seeing kaylie again with all the family. she looks so kind,nice and loving. She brings a lot of joy to the vlogs. Thanks for uploading today a video❤
I love your Family ❤️ When I am having a bad day, you guys bring a smile to my face and I feel a lot better!! I never watched these family channels but with yours I'm always excited to see what's next and just you guys just make happy - Big love from the Czech Republic ❤️
I absolutely love when you guys do these group sit downs. Well you cleared that room quick haha Love you guys!
I love y’all’s family. Been watching since the pandemic began. I love how much more outgoing Lizzie has become she’s really grown up and he confidence is beautiful. Is everything ok with Landon? I’ve noticed he’s a lot more shy. Have a great day love what you do .
I absolutely love these vlogs 🥰 I can't even believe some of these assumptions & I'm proud of cynthia & Harlan for going for their GED's 🥰💖 I wish I lived closer to meet you all...omg Lacey that's so funny.
You guys are the best family! ✨🥺 Literally so genuine and so sweet! My boyfriend always knows when I’m watching Crazy Middles! Usually it’s because of the theme song you guys usually have but now he knows based on your voices! 😂thank you for all of your videos! 🤍🤍
The forgetting punishment is hilarious. I was the only child in the house at the time and my mom would be on the phone and want me out of the room she would say go watch TV or something and I would remind her I was on punishment. Lol
I'm new to your family. Lacey is actually the reason I found you guys. I watched her baby haul video and fell in love with her, so I had to watch your videos. I want to adopt one day, and your family is amazing.
The ending was funny. Some of the assumptions was funny as well. You all are awesome.
I really love the honesty you and the crazy pieces share!! Y’all are awesome of course some have not the nicest things to say or assume but y’all take it with stride and are the best!! Love these videos and every video y’all share!! I love getting to watch you guys all in one sitting I swear y’all post around the same time just for me 😂😂
Love how the hole family spending time together and answering all the questions
Love your family. I see so much love and respect for each other.
My mother forgot about consequences with just two kids and we turned out just fine....you are doing a good job....
I was going to comment the same thing. I have 4 and always mix up consequences or warnings 😂
Awwww...so sweet that Nicole want Shelly in the delivery room with her. ❤ And so nice that you have welcomed Nicole into the family as an equal member even that you never adopted her on paper. ❤
I just had to laugh as your addressing the question about your kids being out of control a large number of them are calmly sitting behind you!
I do think you guys are a great family..I love watching your vlogs!
I find it strange what some people assume as I dnt think any of the ones you read crossed my mind. You talk and we see All the kids. I have heard you talk about education many times and no one should ever comnent on the behaviour of your children as nothing wrong there. There is never anything bad to say. Love you all xxx
I looooove all you guys. I love how clean and neat your house looks. You're all committed to keep it at your best!!! May God bless you 🙏 all!!
Dude as someone with albinism (an albino person) I totally understand what you guys are saying about getting stares! Don't treat me like a spectacle - either say hi or mind your business. Observing me in the wild is not the same as knowing me. It feels intrusive and like a violation of my privacy - I'm just picking up groceries, walking my dog ect. not trying to get gawked at. I'm much more okay with people making friendly conversation but honestly, my condition is a personal matter and I'd rather strangers not bring it up at all.
I have psoriasis all over mu body, including on my face, arms and legs. I see people staring at me too when I’m in flare. As a healthcare provider, I have patients ask me about it, scared that they might get what I have. I feel the need to explain myself a lot, especially in salons. Some people would refuse to touch their skin to mine as well.
I do have a question. I know there was a concern for Trey in several areas and I was wondering how he is doing? He almost always seems happy and looks fine so I was just wondering. Also how is Belle? Is she still doing fairly well?
I love your family and I love watching Aubrey baking and making desserts!!! I love how each and everyone can be their self
Love your family. Shelly and Jered, I love how you all are so loving and caring. Love that your kids are so caring of one another. Seems that Lacey is so positive no matter the questions and comments. Your children are all very sweet.
Love your channel and your family!! Been here since the beginning. I have always had a passion to foster and adopt, and I’m so excited to do so one day! Thank you for being so real with us. Love you all! ❤️
I could see Shelly getting a bit chocked up talking about to older kids that no longer live at home/ we don’t see on video as much.
I have been watching your channel for years and personally I think it’s clear how much you love all your children! Don’t let anyone get ya down! Not everything has to be shared with the world 🖤
Also the look Liz gave harlan 😂
i find it a bit annoying that people secretly watch/take pictures of you guys. It would be so much less awkward and obvious if you just went up and said hi without being creepy!
This was a great episode! Thank you for sharing your family, I really wish I could live where you so I could accidentally bump into you. Shelly I feel like I could truly sit down and have a cup of coffee with you. We are a foster/adoptive family and I can understand so many thing you talk about. Congratulations on the birth of your newest grand child, we have 11, and grandkids are amazing! Thank you again and God Bless.
I love watching your vlogs. They have made me laugh and smile during hard time. I have a special needs child who has autism and we both me and her have a condition causing our joints to go out of place and your family has helped distract us and laugh through painful physical therapy. Thank you for helping keep us entertained and we love watching your family.
How cute the girls want a sister to even out the boy/girl ratio. Oh my I remember my kids howling "TMI" when ever me and their Dad showed affection to each other lol. You have a beautiful family.
Landon is so adorable in the back just grinning and smiling through the vlog haha and it's nice to hear that you will be with Nicole during the delivery ♥️
You have created a very unique family, I love watching your videos seeing the kids growing up, you make me smile every day. Keep being yourselves, the love you have for each other shines through. ❤❤❤
That ending with the kids running away was too funny!!! 🤣🤣🤣 I have to say I can’t believe these assumptions were some of your most common. Some were strange and invasive of your privacy.
I love your channel along with your sister. Some people just like to tear other people down . If any one really watches your videos they can tell that Kalie loves allhersiblings . Please keep up the good job of raising your children Your videos are a bright spot in my day . Love your sense of humor and relationship with each other ..
this channel makes me so proud to be addopted cant wait for more videos love you shelly!!
This is why I love your family so much, your open but not throwing all the dirty laundry online.
Your a beautiful family that I would love to meet and have a conversation with, I’m in the Uk, so probably impossible that we could happen.
You are friendly people and even without meeting face to face, I can and will class you as a friend of mine.
Thank you for being my crazy friends x
(All the crazies) 🤩
"Kiss kiss kiss" 🤣😂 love that and I love you guys! I probably click on your page waaayyy too many times to see if you have uploaded a new video. From a young mom who gets overwhelmed with just TWO kids I applaud you guys on raising such a big family with lots of love ❤.
11:19 aww Mason’s smile is so cute 🥺❤️
I know
Agree!
@Abnormal The Clown Yeah! he should
I absolutely love your family dynamics! Its so inspiring to see how amazing you parent each and every one of these AWESOME kiddos! 💜💜
Shes a little doll. Congratulations Mom and Dad. I cant wait to watch her grow. Happy Birthday Eli. You hot the best present ever, your baby girl.
The fact that anyone thinks a GED is less than, says more about their education than anyone else’s. Whoever asked that question, needs to check themselves. Homeschooled children are being more sought after these days as being smarter and more equipped for the real world. Soooo yeah. That one hit a nerve with me for the family.
I don't think most adults could pass a GED test! My kids are homeschooled but in my state I can issue them a high school diploma.
Love this fam and their vlogs
I love the fact that you want to adopt more kids, there is always some child needing a new home, and you,s can give them that and a safe place and stability. I had a feeling yous aren't ready to give up adopting in the future I'm glad
Your videos always put a smile on my face or give me a good laugh and i appreciate that, so thank you for that! I love watching your vlogs and I wish I didn't live in CT and lived in Arizona.... I would totally be one of those fans that stopped you in the store and ask for a picture lol. I hope you guys know that your videos give me and many other people joy whenever you post so please keep on posting!
Love how the kids disappear, lol.I really enjoy each video everyday. Extra love from Canada🥰🥰🥰
And from this 🇨🇦-ian too!
Shelley, my mom almost always would forget the consequences she gave us ( when I was little there were between 3 and 5 of us still at home. I am #7 of 8.) My dad retired early and opened his own business from our home. I was 8 at the time. I remember my dad being home every day after that and me assuming he would forget just like my mom. He didn't! LOL! Makes me laugh to this day at how shocked I was that he remembered! 🤣 I forget too! Lol! Mom life!
I think you guys are great and I love it how close your family is and how loving they are and you are to your kids I didn't have that growing up and Is watching your channel and crazy pieces I just feel so happy when I watch it
First I just love you guys and your family. Love the honesty of these Q & A sessions. With family that large I get that there is a level of mutual respect between the parents and the kids. Keep up the good work.
I love Lacey’s baby’s name it’s so cute!!
Shelly I think it's so sweet that Nicole asked you to be in the delivery room when she has her son I love your relationship with Nicole lol I'm hoping his middle name will be Jacob what a honor for uncle Jacob
I Love to see that you are always honest. You are such a loving family. ❤ I love that you are willing to give more children a chance to have such a wonderful loving family. Keep up the great job. You are fantastic people all of you!!!
You are such a lovely family.
Thank you for speaking so frankly and naturally on any subject. I wish you a fantastic 2022 full of beautiful moments.
A big hug from Spain.
PS: The kiss was a very sweet moment and the children's reaction was hilarious.
I know that Weston and his family have decided to not be on camera but could you please make an update about how they are doing
I think it would be fun to see the crazy middles and crazy pieces do a husband/wife swap for the day. Wouldn’t that be fun? 😁
They did that in St. John’s
@@SammySingally ah. I only recall the video where Shelly and Crystal swap to do night time/bedtime chores.
That sounds so fun, but they’re always so busy i feel like it would be so hard to be swapped for a whole day! That’s why i think they did just for the night in that other video
They’ve done it
@@Poohbear5560 I think that may add to the fun of it
Keep on rocking! I love learning and growing through your shared experiences. Bless you all.
Love your family I and my 7 daughters watch out every day. You have taught me how to be a loving parent. Love you and GOD BLESS all of you.
I can just see Jonathan coming out to them and Shelly and Jared just look at each other then look back at him and say “we know” 😂
That's pretty much how it happened. That story is in the Destiny/Cynthia story video if you go back.
The whole GED remark makes me so mad. They can still go to college and get great jobs with a GED. It would be wrong for them to have to start classes as freshmen at their age.
I agree with this so much it's called education learning will take place anywhere not just in a classroom/ college. They will be great with their G.E.D
There not your kids
@@madibaker4242 and I know they aren't my kids I am not a crazy person
Your clearly are crazy
@@madibaker4242 please get some help child. You aren't mature enough to be onnthese sites
Just wanna say love you guys! I love the positivity that radiates from your channel.
Started watching your family a few months ago and fine the keep it crazy families are genuine and caring. Also watch Crazy Pieces too! Keep up the good work!!!
I would love an interview with Jonathan about his feelings on the matter! He'll clear up any assumptions. I mean, in general, it would be cool to hear his prospective - he wasn't in Destiny and Cynthia's adoption story video :c
maybe cause he doesn’t want to? if he wanted to he would’ve by now and he hasn’t, so..
@@nai1729 ok?
I think Mason is the favorite of everybody. I feel always he does something everybody have the soft expression on their faces ( sorry if something is written in a wrong way)
I love watching all of tje crazy familys. You all do a great job . i truly think yall are blessed. I know the kids are to have both you guys as parents. Same goes for the petit family
This is why I watch this Family!!
They keep it Real 💯!! Great people❤️
I just love the brutal honesty😂🤣🥰🥰
Nothing but love, MamaE💗
Enjoyed this video ! :) also as someone who is part of the LGBTQ+ community ( I’m bi and gender fluid) thank you for supporting ur Kids no Matter what 🤍
You are gross
@@REtard-eh6nc and you are insanely rude
@@lucygarrett9785 I'm so sorry
@@lucygarrett9785 I need help
Please don't ignore me.
I really need help.
Haha! The kids reaction to their parents kissing was so funny! I can definitely relate. I react the same way when I see my parents kiss. The look on Mason's face when he said "they do" was priceless. Mason is so adorable!
I just love you guys! I watch all the crazy family channels. I watch daily. You all give me so much joy and hope!
I love all of your blogs and you can see how much love is given to everyone. Shelly and Jarrod you do amazing job with all of the kids
Right the rules down and pin them up so they know whats expected of them. Same thing with consequences on a chalk board so you dont forget, following through is so important, not saying you dont, also you do have wonderful kids, your great parents ❤. Wish i had parents like you growing up. I've had some similar experiences as the children with there biological parents..much ❤
Shelly and Jared are awesome parents.
yes
i loved you guys for a few years now and it does relieve me to hear about your acceptance of lgbt, as someone a part of the community ive been disappointed in the past by creators when their true colors were shown. so so much love to you guys
This was a fun vlog. I feel I got to know a bitore about your lovely family, even though I have been watching your youtube channel for a long time now 😊 thankyou for allowing us into your home & lives ❤️
People think because they see 20 minutes of the video they know everything about the family. It’s just 20 minutes!!!
I do respect the whole negative comments thing. But if someone said something about my son, I'd block them from ever watching a video!!❤🇨🇦❤🇨🇦❤
All i have to say i admire and look up to your family!! I love your family so much I think every family has a routine that fits and u have a routine that's awesome with all the kids!!♥️ LOVE FROM MY FAMILY TO YOURS!!!!
I have only just found the Crazy Middles and I absolutely adore your family! I hope you are all doing well and loving life! Bless you all!!!
Thank You for the kiss!!! It’s so important to show your children that it’s about Love. How you treat each other is hopefully how your children treat and expect to be treated by others.
