Just want you to know my 5 year old twin girls and I love watching your videos ❤️ They’ve been asking me lately if they can go to your house 😜 Found them earlier pulling the sheets off their bed because they were “letting their bed breathe”.
Such wisdom! I love how you mentioned that people should already know that not everyone has a perfect life and just because you show SOME of your life on social media, doesn't mean you're required to show EVERYTHING in order to be "authentic." You can totally be authentic, while thoughtfully showing the positive parts of your life. If people want to show the lows too, that's totally cool, but personal preference. Totally respect the way you protect your family. 💛
Preach! Some parents think that they “own” their kids. Like you said that their lives are theirs and their rooms are theirs. Kids should have more freedom to be themselves and not be afraid of exploitation from a camera and the parent that is behind that camera. They are unique individuals with equal worth as you and infinite worth in the eyes of God. Thank you for sharing those thoughts it inspired me a ton!
Completely agree. I cringe when parents try to dominate their kids, and say things like “I will never allow my kid to ____” they are their OWN person, unless they are going to harm themselves, they have the right to their own choices and opinions. These poor kids.
I deleted my Facebook because I realized how much time and energy I waste on watching others lives. But I LOVE your Chanel! I wait for videos every Tuesday and Thursday because they uplift me. I don’t spend energy, I charge it. Thank you! You inspire many of us moms and not only moms ❤️
I recently did this too! Facebook and Instagram. So much more time in my day and I feel 1000 times better. I find I am a better mother, a better wife and a better person ♡
I don't often see super eye to eye with your views.. (i'm transgender, gay, pro-choice, atheist.. so a different perspective i'm sure - that said, i'm a subscriber, i find your content and thoughts interesting and am moving towards minimalism and parenting a young kiddo).. but this, i feel so hard. Respectful parenting is more important than anything else and we have to be more intentional and thoughtful of what we share of our children's lives. I don't post photos, videos, anything to do with my kid publicly online and that comes from how grateful I am that I grew up with the privilege of figuring myself out outside of any unnecessary eyes peering in through social media. Grateful you've spoken about this topic as someone who is known as a parent but doesn't seek to exploit or overshare in terms of your kids lives and struggles.
I don't think family vlogers are the main problem. I think the main problem is showing your kids on the internet at all, doesn't matter if it's everyday life or just 'the good days' as you say. I don't think there's a "respectful way" of showing your kids to the 1 million or more people who watch your videos. I think the most respectful way is not showing them at all. They're minors, you didn't ask them for their consent, but nevertheless you're showing us their private life, what they eat, how they play and dress and even if you say it isn't so, your income comes partly from their exposure on the internet. I know you said your chanel is based on you, but one of your most viewed videos is the one where you give natural birth and show us your baby. Your kids are practically in your every single video/vlog even though you're saying you're not a family vloger. Parts of their childhood (and even their births!) will forever be on the internet for everyone to see, and they didn't really have any choice. Well, that's only my point of view.
I love Sarah Therese’s channel, but I have to agree 100%. She does try to protect her children but she’s not as private as she thinks she is with them.
I do agree with you, but i also agree with Sarah. It is still her chanel and it is based on her, not the kids. Yes, we do see them, but she does not follow them with camera showing us their every single move. It is her reality, her life and her opinion and she has the strenght to show us that side odf her spirit and body. And teach us and inspire us to become better persons. Greetings from the Baltic States! I wish you all to have a good Day!
Sarah you're literally such a big inspiration in my life. I've started on my own path of minimalism and sustainable living because of youre influence! Thank you for your content.
I agree about some family vloggers. I question when they say they are doing so to document their lives. They do realize they can do that without putting it on the internet don’t they?
This is 100% how I feel about kids being on social media! I don't even have my son shown on FB, Instagram... Nothing! I just feel like he should have a say about what childhood photos he wants online when he is old enough to decide and understand. We don't know who they will grow up to be or what convictions or boundaries they will develop.. so respect their potential future feelings.
Sarah, you literally have a vlog of toilet training your son. I for sure know that 20 years later that's something I would not want on the internet. I think you need to reevaluate again how much of and what you show on the internet, including Instagram, of your children. It is also important that even though you have deleted your old vlog channel's content, that content can never be removed off the web. Be honest with yourself, it's. ok to make mistakes and publicly admit that
I agree, she used to have a young mama vlogs channel and has done lots of day in the life of a mom of kids videos. I first came across her through those videos
She has a vlog about ivy having explosive diarrhea in a store at a preschooler age. I don't care that she posts this content but it would be more inspiring for her to say she used to make these mistakes and learned from them instead of acting like she's always been perfect
I think everyone is going through a learning process. Sarah is not in the same space of mind she was when she posted about her kids before. We know that from this video. There is no need to shame her for the past. She doesn’t NEED to admit the things she did in the past, but thank god she has people like you to remind her. This should be a safe space to share positivity, not bring people down. Motherhood is a learning process and like she has said in other videos, she matured more with each kid. She is doing the right thing for her and her family NOW. Let’s focus on that please.
I am not subscribed anymore because it just wasn't my thing anymore, but I do check back occasionally because I enjoyed some of the content. You may not care what I think, but I feel the need to make a couple of comments. The liver digests food and rids your body of toxic substances. A healthy liver cleanses itself. It does not need to be cleansed or detoxified. Also you are most definitely a family vlogger. If this channel was just about you, it would only show you.
I really love how the thoughts you shared about family vlogging were about your situation and all about respecting your children. As a mama of 3, you’re such an inspiration!
Love that you’re speaking up on this topic! I’ve always loved that you incorporate family and motherhood in your content without disrespecting your children and their privacy 💕
I have been subscribing since Calvin too,i feel that you have changed so much.. your videos used to be a lot with your kids and i loved them. Found them very helpful and inspirational. Your channel is very focused on you more,what is cool but do miss some of your old videos 😉
Hi Sarah! I have a question: you used to talk a lot about modesty and not wanting to show certain parts of your body/dressing differently than society. It seems like since you've been working out a lot and (justifiably!) so proud of your hard work and the changes you've seen in your body, you've loosened up about what you share in pics and videos (i.e. bra and bike shorts etc./showing your stomach regularly) I don't actually remember what standards you previously shared but just noticed a change I think. Have your thoughts and standards on modesty changed? Not a criticism at all (opposite actually), just wondering as I know we can all develop new stances and perspectives! :)
I also think its about context and poses, no? Super short yoga shorts(barely covering butt cheeks) with a close up shot-not modest. A good angle of workout, in workout pants or leggins can be very well modest. You can look overly sexy (whatever that means) in a long skirt were you to choose a seductive pose. Belly. I mean again, separate swimsuit on a beach or a crop tank on a workout is different than cropped tank to a grocery store. We have to be considerate of context and people around as well. So, all that to say, when Sarah was talking modesty, and then brought out her workout shorts didn't really cause questions. And it seems like Sarah has her guard pretty much up(the good way) when it comes to modesty check.
@@indiravandalen2239 Totally agree! At the end of the day, how you carry yourself and your mindset play a huge part in modesty. I'm not saying you should use it as an excuse to wear whatever because that does play a huge part. However, modesty goes beyond how 'modest' something is
@@SarahTherese That makes sense for sure; thanks so much for responding in detail and to a question I know is somewhat personal. I admire you a lot and was interested to hear your perspective so I appreciate it!
Kitty Lademan I’ve thought the same thing recently. At one point she got rid of some jeans because they were snug and to revealing. 🤷♀️ it’s ok if she changed her mind but I don’t find her all that modest.
I love watching people do their skincare too. I find it relaxing. I agree, you're not a family vlogger. You're a vlogger who has a family. Totally different! Much love xxx
Sarah, I applaud how you run and manage your channel. It is refreshing to see someone online remain mature and respectful. It is also encouraging for me to see that even as a mother and a wife you show that you still have your own life and individuality. I love watching your channel and supporting you. I pray God continues to bless you and your family. You’ve inspired me more than you know! ❤️ Best, Grayson
Wise words... I very much appreciate how gentle yet firm your convictions are and that you share them. For me, I know that’s why you are so easy to love. I like the skin care... although I’m a 43 yr old that has never had a routine of it 🤦🏽♀️😢 and I so wish I had... I’m forgiving myself and ‘giving up the hope that the past could be different’ (Oprah shared this) but am struggling with knowing exactly how to go about it now. Thanks for sharing your routines - they do inspire 💗 so for now I’m just drinking lots of water and trying to sleep more.
I actually love that you don’t show the kids much and keep them very private!!! Their little pop ups are the cutest. I don’t watch much family vloggers but did see a couple of videos that I did not like and there are others that are amazing. I agree with you 100%
I love how modestly you dress your girls! So many parents show too much skin on their little ones (girls especially), I saw someone dress their baby in ripped jeans and a strapless cropped top! It’s so refreshing to see a parent who lets their kids dress like kids!
Just wondering: what do you think about you uploading your child’s birth on UA-cam? Is that something they won’t be bothered by when they get older? :) Since you mentioned privacy and everything!
Yeah, I wouldn't mind my mom vlogging her giving birth to me...I would mind someone recording me giving birth and posting that. Haha that's definitely more intrusive than just being the baby that shows up at the end.
To be honest, I love how you don't show the bad days or the kids tantrums. I am under no illusions that they don't happen! Your vlog is so relaxing and fun to watch because it doesn't have all that in it. If I want to watch kids have tantrums, I've got my own kids for that!
The Ballinger Family are amazing! they are so sweet and so educational for home-schooling. They have 5 adorable kids and I love learning from them coming from a 25 year old with no kids yet and thats what I like about these channels in particular is that I can appreciate what they are saying because it's genuine and authentic for them and their family, I know every family is different but thats what makes it even more fun to learn from because each family lifestyle is so different. So I appreciate your channel Sarah and The Ballinger Family because you both do content that is genuine and authentic to you and I as a viewer can appreciate that and take what I can learn with me throughout life and eventually when my partner and I decide to have children :) Sending all the love from Australia
Yes! I so agree with you about family vloggers. I deactivated Facebook and Instagram about a month ago because I realized that any opinions that I shared would be inadvertently be associated with them as well in my *friends’* eyes, and I have too many unpopular opinions to bring that judgment upon my kids as well. I’ve seen people say horrible things about children online based on their parents’ choices, and it just baffles me. Like you said, they’re so innocent and vulnerable, and they need the most respect and protection from this harsh world. ❤️
Hi Sarah! I completely respect your view on “family vlogging” I, too, am a private person and I admire that you’ve chosen to limit your kids’ exposure on the internet. It’s better to play it safe rather than reveal too much and then regret it later on. Also the bit about only posting our best moments online... most adults choose to post their best moments online, and I think kids should be able to make that choice too. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Sara I really like you but you have shown your youngest child Labour online. Her first appearance in the world. I did respect you for that bravery move and I think its your decision where to draw the line . But don't tell me that you are not family bloger.....
The way I look at it, she's a MOM blogger not a family blogger. Like she said, her kids are a big part of her life. Giving birth is more about her than her baby, imo. She's not vlogging her family, but her life WITH a family.
I have watched a lot of videos from family vloggers where something embarrassing or something that clearly makes the children uncomfortable to talk about is being forced on them just to make money. I think its really sad and when those kids get older they won't have trust with their parents.
The labrant fam are the GOOD family vloggers. They do not show the bad stuff in their kids! They do such amazing things for the world! Sarah I love you your videos make me so happy!
I would have to disagree their is way too much focus on those poor kids. They have absolutely zero privacy and their own channels and instagram accounts. I know their demographic is tweens and teens, so I get it may seem normal and non exploitive, but they need to do a better job as parents. I know I would be livid if my parents uploaded my life like that.
I totally agree with you on so many super popular channels exploiting their children. You are definitely channel goals. Everything is so nicely put together and beautifully branded. My channel isn't family based but it has my children in periodically. I would never dream to show my children at their worst. It's 100% disrespectful to them.
Love this video and your thoughts about family bloggers and digital autonomy. My husband and I have chosen not not put our son online at all except for like family photos. But no day to day stuff or temper tantrums, funny moments etc. For the same reasons. It’s his life first and he is his own person, he’s not old enough to speak for himself so it’s our job to protect his privacy and his agency. Love you Sarah you are the best!
This channel and this talk which i heard from you about children and family tells me so much about your personality and what a wonderful parent you are..also the fact that i am learning the right from wrong ..where something wrong or not ok is made normal on the internet..worth watching your content👍
i think all the points you made in this were great and ik people in the comments are saying she’s a hypocrite but pls think about how other vloggers expose their children on the internet. i think compared to others sarah’s doing a fine job compared to anyone else. yes she has shown some things in the past but obviously she is much more use to this life as a youtuber and has learned so much more about society. and “family vloggers” show their kids more then themselves throughout almost their entire videos. obviously sarah doesn’t do that and she makes actual educational videos like this one.
YES!! Ive followed a family channel for years and questioned a few things and assumed it was because I'm Christian and they're not. However she posted a clip of her youngest, like 3??, topless. Nope.
LOVE THIS! And totally agree with you. So glad you spoke about this too. I feel as someone who has supported you for so long, you stand by all these things you said through your actions and that is so important ❤️ So many just say so many random things these days but don't stand by any of it through their actions. You are amazing! Such an inspiration! ❤️
Sadly, I did notice the absence of videos on your old vlogging channel. :'( I found you years ago from the video on that channel you had about decluttering and organization where you guys got the new shelves and organized the whole house (literally the best decluttering video on the internet). Just last night I was looking to rewatch a video of yours on that channel and I realized there was nothing there anymore. It felt like the end of an era, and made me so sad honestly. I found SO MUCH useful guidance on that channel, you showed the every day life, and I loved just watching the growth and the day to day stuff. There was a video where your house set on fire and the way you talked to Ivy after that was so informative to me, honestly it's the small things I noticed that really taught me a lot about parenting, as a mom of two young kids under two, and as a person who's growing and changing. I literally used to rewatch some videos from that channel as motivation, others I would watch as education. You are such an amazing and wise mom and I learned alot from you. And I am sure I am not the only one who feels the same way. I hope you can make some sit-down videos on parenting in the future. It's so sad all those videos are gone now.
I also believe there’s a difference between showing the bad things and talking about the bad things. I think it’s nice that you don’t pretend that your life’s perfect, because none of our lives are! And some people’s content is too ‘flawless’ and makes me feel insecure. So you being truthful about that, without showing the bad things resonates with me a lot. Thank you!
I actually think sarah’s content its a bit too “perfect”. She rarely talks about difficulties in her life (besides acne, we all know that). Sometimes i would prefer she would show more imperfect aspects of life... or at least more raw footage. Everything is beautifully done, no dought. But i often feel she is like flawless superwoman.... difficult do relate.
I'm not a mama, nor a vlogger, but if I were, I would totally follow suit when it comes to kids privacy. That's another reason why I like your channel, for the boundaries that you set and for the respect for your family 🙏 sending love from Europe 🤗
Love this! Thank you for sharing your approach to the way you treat your kids. I couldn’t agree more. I think it’s so important to respect our little ones
I feel like you said it better than anyone else have. Our kids are little people and are going to grow up. I want my daughter and future children to feel like we respected them and their privacy, when they grow up and look back on what we choose to share now.
Sarah I do not think you are honest with yourself. You have a video of you having birth and training your children how to go to the restroom. You share pics of your children on Instagram all the time, and you share their rooms (even when you say that is not true, I know how they look). You have shown their cloths, toys, bedrooms, etc. So stop lying, and accept that you are not as private about your children as you would like to be.
Thank you so much for speaking on children in social media. It is so important to respect children as the human beings that they are. I love sharing cute photos of my son, absolutely, but never at the cost of his dignity or boundaries he may create later in life.
My thoughts on UA-camrs criticizing other UA-camrs... :-( Everyone has the right to vlog the way they want, as long as they respect the law. Let's let people be and as viewers we all have the freedom to consume it or not, no one is forcing us. Your vlog is great when you teach us and make us discover new ways to improve our wellbeing. I feel like pointing at others, won't improve mine, I'll skip this one.
I agree with you 100% about family vlogging. I use to want to be a family vlogger but a while ago my mindset changed so much on that. I am still trying to find my niche on UA-cam but whatever it is, never will I ever exploit my children. I did notice that you never show your kids rooms and I like that. I am going to follow that. I feel like you plan your videos out very carefully to make sure that you dont in anyway share what you dont want and I like that as well! Kudos to you!!❤
Hi Sarah, I wanted to thank you for making me a little more open-minded. My family was never very religious and I was not baptized, so I never really came into contact with the faith. Your videos have given me a different perspective. I'm not going to join the Church right away, but you gave me a different opinion, and I am now really interested in learning how these things can affect your life. Anyway, I now plan to go to a church service so I can see how it is. Btw love your Videos 😆💕
I know it's not the same, but I dont even like to put too many pictures or video of my dog up. He's my baby (I know) and he does not belong to the internet.
I have ZERO memory of my parents ever speaking poorly of their children to others. I’m sure we were difficult, but they never trash talked us and I am eternally grateful. Today, that’s ALL I hear my mom friends do. Complaining. Talking about their kids’ shortcomings and weaknesses. It makes me sick that not only does this happen, but people make money off of it.
I so appreciate this! I get a lot of hate from people bc I don’t show my 16 month old on social media, I guess privately texting “family” is not enough. You saying this makes me realize that I’m not alone on this topic.
I’m not sure if you’ll get around to reading this but thank you. I have been toying with the idea of starting a UA-cam channel but didn’t want to let so many into our private lives, especially that of our kids. You helped show me that it is possible!
Your skin looks so glowy and beautiful throughout this whole video!!! And thank you for talking about this topic, it’s really important to shed more light on the topic
Honestly girl I don’t share in your conservative values but you say so much stuff I absolutely agree with and wish more people would echo. I can’t believe how young you are, too. You’re so well-spoken and accurate here 💯
I love that you cook for your family! And here is a tip I told my mom that saves her A LOT OF TIME! Use a hand mixer to shred your cooked chicken. IT WORKS & takes maybe 3 minutes❤❤❤
The comments section did not pass the vibe check! :( I was hoping I'd find like-minded individuals who support Sarah and the amount she chooses to share her life and children. Sarah has inspired many to follow Christ, take better care of themselves, homeschool their kiddos, live a more minimalistic lifestyle (and much more) because these are things she's passionate about. I believe her channel is about her and her interest. I personally believe Sarah has an amazing work (YT) and life balance and I think we've all seen proof of this in her content. Thank you for being an inspiration to me and many others Sarah! ♥ Side note: Why is no one talking about how Sarah was a BOSS when cutting that onion?! When I cut an onion I look like I just watched Ellie and Carl's love story from Up. 😭 Like I'm genuinely impressed!
@A B That is a great thing to pray for. I am a homeschooling momma and have been for 13 years! It has been one of the best decisions I've ever made. I will pray for you guys, as well 💕💕💕💕
I don’t normally comment on videos but I loved this!!! I watch your channel a lot and this is my 1st comment. I sometimes cringe at what family vlogs put up when it comes to their children, as I’m very protective about my little ones. I love how you keep this channel focused on YOU. Keep it up
You are so right. I was thinking of this for a long time: do parents have the right to put their kids online? Now I am persuaded they definitely don't. People do not own their kids. Chlidren are human beings and privacy is their right. I think family-based vlogs and reality shows should not be allowed. I appreciate that you are respectful of your children's privacy. 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬
As adorable as your kids are, I think it’s best to keep them as private as possible. I totally agree that you need to protect your kids on the internet! It’s not right that some family vloggers are basically making their kids child stars, and there’s enough troubles Disney stars to prove how that can go. I think when your kids grow up, they will appreciate how you kept them separate from your channel.
I watch you because I enjoy YOUR content, like this channel is literally "Sarah Therese" and I've subscribed because of that. And yes, I watch these vlogs, knowing you're a mom, and enjoy that aspect, but it's not all you are and I like that you focus on yourself.
And sucha waste of a nutritious part, the fibre that helps the body gradually absorb all the sugars released! Much better to use a Nutribullet that keeps the whole food.
@@iceprincess2134 I mean this indepedently of weather or season - I've seen Americans living in California do the same, the thing with the comforter thrown over the bed and the white sheets etc. It just fascinates me!
The music in the intro reminds me of the music my church plays while everyone shuffles in and finds their seats 😂 I need the Rona to go away so I can get back to church!!
I think everything you’re saying about family vlogging can be used in daily life. Respect for our children and their autonomy and privacy should be more on the forefront of our thoughts as parents. Totally agree with everything you said. Also adventures in odyssey for the win! I grew up listening to it every Saturday morning and loved it.
Hi sarah, am not married nor have kids (yet to get married though) but your videos are like a good guide for me.. I am learning so much through your vlogs... I will remember you in my prayers that you along with your family grow in God's love. ❤Thank you.
I love your thoughts on the family vlogs! I've had a lot of people tell me I should show more about my kids (I don't share first names or their faces on my blog or youtube channel), but I have the same feelings that you do. I thought I was the only one!
Hey I got a little hack for you if you cut the core out of the pepper in a circle first it is a lot easier and you get all the seeds out at once so you don't have to wipe the seeds down afterwards..... just a little something I discovered myself not too long ago😁😁
Sarah, I get now why you said that people should be very careful with whatever comments or things they have to say. I'm just reading the comments and honestly, I found it very discouraging how some of what they say are often just pointing out negative things about things you've said and done. Sometimes people change through the years and it's natural. I wish people wouldn't correct or state contradictions but just understand and know that sometimes, things are done in a step-by-step process. Wanting someone to do everything perfectly is just a little selfish. But I am so glad you didn't let any of it get to you. For me, your life, your kids, your family, your decisions, in spite of any comments. Much love.
I agree I have seen family cloggers that exploits their disabled kids and then you get family vloggers with disabled kids that do it respectfully towards their kids and where it actually is informative and helpful. One family vlogger I saw actually made me think of those Moms with Munchausen syndrome. It was realy disturbing. Thanks for speaking up and being honest.
With all the drama going on now about family vloggers, it was super interesting to hear your opinion! Some UA-camrs in your position would choose to film their kids daily and show every little detail that me as a viewer has no business seeing!
Soooo well spoken!! I was very much for the idea of keeping kiddos off of UA-cam content in general, but I wasn’t entirely sure why I had those beliefs. So good to have my personal convictions put into words!! (Btw you are so inspirational and calming to watch!! Sending love from Spain!!)
Okayyyyyy but a lot of your content was family vlogging and about your kids for the past two years I have been subbed. I don’t watch every video but you show your kids enough that I feel like I know a lot about them-Ivy, Calvin, and Elizabeth. You’re being a huge hypocrite here.
I don't mean to attack you but what do you actually know about her kids from the clips that Sarah shows? All I can tell is that Ivy is very close to her mama, Calvin is kinda fussy sometimes and Elizabeth is the small one. I don't think that that's information that could potentially harm them in any way.
I've been subscribed for years and I actually don't know a lot about her kids. Especially based on actual family vloggers. She is who she says she is. As she said in the video, she actively tries to show less of her kids... and would imply that she has shown more of them in the past and doesn't agree with that type of content. I wouldn't say that it makes her a "huge hypocrite"
I love that you are so respectful of your kids I would hate to have to have my life broadcasted at birth. And your kids will appreciate you so much more by doing this.
So true! As someone who works with kids, kids deserve so much more respect. They are human beings!
Just want you to know my 5 year old twin girls and I love watching your videos ❤️ They’ve been asking me lately if they can go to your house 😜 Found them earlier pulling the sheets off their bed because they were “letting their bed breathe”.
Such wisdom! I love how you mentioned that people should already know that not everyone has a perfect life and just because you show SOME of your life on social media, doesn't mean you're required to show EVERYTHING in order to be "authentic." You can totally be authentic, while thoughtfully showing the positive parts of your life. If people want to show the lows too, that's totally cool, but personal preference. Totally respect the way you protect your family. 💛
I like how you honestly talk about the situation
Preach! Some parents think that they “own” their kids. Like you said that their lives are theirs and their rooms are theirs. Kids should have more freedom to be themselves and not be afraid of exploitation from a camera and the parent that is behind that camera. They are unique individuals with equal worth as you and infinite worth in the eyes of God. Thank you for sharing those thoughts it inspired me a ton!
yes! my mom always said "it's not your room, you're only borrowing it" and even though I know she meant well, I don't say that to my kids.
Completely agree. I cringe when parents try to dominate their kids, and say things like “I will never allow my kid to ____” they are their OWN person, unless they are going to harm themselves, they have the right to their own choices and opinions. These poor kids.
I deleted my Facebook because I realized how much time and energy I waste on watching others lives. But I LOVE your Chanel! I wait for videos every Tuesday and Thursday because they uplift me. I don’t spend energy, I charge it. Thank you! You inspire many of us moms and not only moms ❤️
Welcome to the no Facebook club. I have so much more rest iny head since I deleted most of my socials
I deleted my Facebook too. It was so unhealthy for my mental state!
I recently did this too! Facebook and Instagram. So much more time in my day and I feel 1000 times better. I find I am a better mother, a better wife and a better person ♡
I love feeling like I am just chatting in the kitchen with you :)
I don't often see super eye to eye with your views.. (i'm transgender, gay, pro-choice, atheist.. so a different perspective i'm sure - that said, i'm a subscriber, i find your content and thoughts interesting and am moving towards minimalism and parenting a young kiddo).. but this, i feel so hard. Respectful parenting is more important than anything else and we have to be more intentional and thoughtful of what we share of our children's lives. I don't post photos, videos, anything to do with my kid publicly online and that comes from how grateful I am that I grew up with the privilege of figuring myself out outside of any unnecessary eyes peering in through social media. Grateful you've spoken about this topic as someone who is known as a parent but doesn't seek to exploit or overshare in terms of your kids lives and struggles.
I can’t even describe how amazing it is to see someone talk about respecting kids! Your are a breath of fresh air in the world🤍
I agree about the family vloggers. I can't watch contents when the children are too present, thank you for sharing ! A lot of love from France ❤
Sarah bought herself a juicer for Mother’s Day! My husband told me to buy myself something nice and I bought an expensive pair of comfy pants!!🤣☀️
I don't think family vlogers are the main problem. I think the main problem is showing your kids on the internet at all, doesn't matter if it's everyday life or just 'the good days' as you say. I don't think there's a "respectful way" of showing your kids to the 1 million or more people who watch your videos. I think the most respectful way is not showing them at all. They're minors, you didn't ask them for their consent, but nevertheless you're showing us their private life, what they eat, how they play and dress and even if you say it isn't so, your income comes partly from their exposure on the internet. I know you said your chanel is based on you, but one of your most viewed videos is the one where you give natural birth and show us your baby. Your kids are practically in your every single video/vlog even though you're saying you're not a family vloger. Parts of their childhood (and even their births!) will forever be on the internet for everyone to see, and they didn't really have any choice. Well, that's only my point of view.
I love Sarah Therese’s channel, but I have to agree 100%.
She does try to protect her children but she’s not as private as she thinks she is with them.
Yess! Exactly how I think!
I do agree with you, but i also agree with Sarah. It is still her chanel and it is based on her, not the kids. Yes, we do see them, but she does not follow them with camera showing us their every single move. It is her reality, her life and her opinion and she has the strenght to show us that side odf her spirit and body. And teach us and inspire us to become better persons. Greetings from the Baltic States! I wish you all to have a good Day!
She doesn't show their rooms, yet she shows their faces to the whole world, which has plenty of creeps in it.
@@drmann9886 well she used to show their rooms frequently in previous videos. I am happy she decided not to do that anymore
There is a fine line between something funny and child exploitation. The root of all evil is the love of money, unfortunately :(
Sarah you're literally such a big inspiration in my life. I've started on my own path of minimalism and sustainable living because of youre influence! Thank you for your content.
I agree about some family vloggers. I question when they say they are doing so to document their lives. They do realize they can do that without putting it on the internet don’t they?
This is 100% how I feel about kids being on social media! I don't even have my son shown on FB, Instagram... Nothing! I just feel like he should have a say about what childhood photos he wants online when he is old enough to decide and understand. We don't know who they will grow up to be or what convictions or boundaries they will develop.. so respect their potential future feelings.
Me too! Before my husband even had kids we agreed to never post any photos of them. Even babies deserve respect and privacy!
Sarah, you literally have a vlog of toilet training your son. I for sure know that 20 years later that's something I would not want on the internet. I think you need to reevaluate again how much of and what you show on the internet, including Instagram, of your children. It is also important that even though you have deleted your old vlog channel's content, that content can never be removed off the web. Be honest with yourself, it's. ok to make mistakes and publicly admit that
I agree, she used to have a young mama vlogs channel and has done lots of day in the life of a mom of kids videos. I first came across her through those videos
YES! I DIDN'T LIKE WHEN SHE SHOW TO HIS CAL IN THE TOILET... AND WHEN SHE SAID THAT KIDS ARE NAKED OR ON UNDER WEARE... THAT'S TOO SHAMY...
Thank you!!! exactly...
She has a vlog about ivy having explosive diarrhea in a store at a preschooler age. I don't care that she posts this content but it would be more inspiring for her to say she used to make these mistakes and learned from them instead of acting like she's always been perfect
I think everyone is going through a learning process. Sarah is not in the same space of mind she was when she posted about her kids before. We know that from this video. There is no need to shame her for the past. She doesn’t NEED to admit the things she did in the past, but thank god she has people like you to remind her. This should be a safe space to share positivity, not bring people down. Motherhood is a learning process and like she has said in other videos, she matured more with each kid. She is doing the right thing for her and her family NOW. Let’s focus on that please.
I am not subscribed anymore because it just wasn't my thing anymore, but I do check back occasionally because I enjoyed some of the content. You may not care what I think, but I feel the need to make a couple of comments. The liver digests food and rids your body of toxic substances. A healthy liver cleanses itself. It does not need to be cleansed or detoxified. Also you are most definitely a family vlogger. If this channel was just about you, it would only show you.
I really love how the thoughts you shared about family vlogging were about your situation and all about respecting your children. As a mama of 3, you’re such an inspiration!
Love that you’re speaking up on this topic! I’ve always loved that you incorporate family and motherhood in your content without disrespecting your children and their privacy 💕
I think you and I have different definitions of the word "beach" 😅
I was thinking the same thing😂
River
I had the same conversation with a few people while visiting my dad in South Dakota 😅
MALLISA’S ART AND LIFE It really wasn’t a beach 😅
YES SO WELLL SAID this is why I’ve been a subscriber since before Calvin was born
I have been subscribing since Calvin too,i feel that you have changed so much.. your videos used to be a lot with your kids and i loved them. Found them very helpful and inspirational. Your channel is very focused on you more,what is cool but do miss some of your old videos 😉
Hi Sarah! I have a question: you used to talk a lot about modesty and not wanting to show certain parts of your body/dressing differently than society. It seems like since you've been working out a lot and (justifiably!) so proud of your hard work and the changes you've seen in your body, you've loosened up about what you share in pics and videos (i.e. bra and bike shorts etc./showing your stomach regularly) I don't actually remember what standards you previously shared but just noticed a change I think. Have your thoughts and standards on modesty changed? Not a criticism at all (opposite actually), just wondering as I know we can all develop new stances and perspectives! :)
Wondering the same thing!
I also think its about context and poses, no? Super short yoga shorts(barely covering butt cheeks) with a close up shot-not modest. A good angle of workout, in workout pants or leggins can be very well modest.
You can look overly sexy (whatever that means) in a long skirt were you to choose a seductive pose.
Belly. I mean again, separate swimsuit on a beach or a crop tank on a workout is different than cropped tank to a grocery store. We have to be considerate of context and people around as well.
So, all that to say, when Sarah was talking modesty, and then brought out her workout shorts didn't really cause questions. And it seems like Sarah has her guard pretty much up(the good way) when it comes to modesty check.
@@indiravandalen2239 Totally agree! At the end of the day, how you carry yourself and your mindset play a huge part in modesty. I'm not saying you should use it as an excuse to wear whatever because that does play a huge part. However, modesty goes beyond how 'modest' something is
@@SarahTherese That makes sense for sure; thanks so much for responding in detail and to a question I know is somewhat personal. I admire you a lot and was interested to hear your perspective so I appreciate it!
Kitty Lademan I’ve thought the same thing recently. At one point she got rid of some jeans because they were snug and to revealing. 🤷♀️ it’s ok if she changed her mind but I don’t find her all that modest.
Who else loves watching Sarah cook and talk? So calming and wonderful ❤️❤️❤️
I love watching people do their skincare too. I find it relaxing.
I agree, you're not a family vlogger. You're a vlogger who has a family. Totally different! Much love xxx
Sarah,
I applaud how you run and manage your channel. It is refreshing to see someone online remain mature and respectful. It is also encouraging for me to see that even as a mother and a wife you show that you still have your own life and individuality. I love watching your channel and supporting you. I pray God continues to bless you and your family. You’ve inspired me more than you know! ❤️
Best,
Grayson
Wise words... I very much appreciate how gentle yet firm your convictions are and that you share them. For me, I know that’s why you are so easy to love. I like the skin care... although I’m a 43 yr old that has never had a routine of it 🤦🏽♀️😢 and I so wish I had... I’m forgiving myself and ‘giving up the hope that the past could be different’ (Oprah shared this) but am struggling with knowing exactly how to go about it now. Thanks for sharing your routines - they do inspire 💗 so for now I’m just drinking lots of water and trying to sleep more.
I actually love that you don’t show the kids much and keep them very private!!! Their little pop ups are the cutest. I don’t watch much family vloggers but did see a couple of videos that I did not like and there are others that are amazing. I agree with you 100%
I love how modestly you dress your girls! So many parents show too much skin on their little ones (girls especially), I saw someone dress their baby in ripped jeans and a strapless cropped top! It’s so refreshing to see a parent who lets their kids dress like kids!
I’ve actually learned a ton from family blogging. Some parenting ideas that you necessarily not think about doing.
Just wondering: what do you think about you uploading your child’s birth on UA-cam? Is that something they won’t be bothered by when they get older? :) Since you mentioned privacy and everything!
Didn’t she upload one of her kid’s birth?
I remember watching it a while ago.
In the video of her kids birth I’m more concerned for Sarah’s privacy than the babies...lol
Yeah, I wouldn't mind my mom vlogging her giving birth to me...I would mind someone recording me giving birth and posting that. Haha that's definitely more intrusive than just being the baby that shows up at the end.
Tragic
To be honest, I love how you don't show the bad days or the kids tantrums. I am under no illusions that they don't happen! Your vlog is so relaxing and fun to watch because it doesn't have all that in it. If I want to watch kids have tantrums, I've got my own kids for that!
I found your channel from the “YoungMamaVlog” days and I love the way you show your family in a respectful non evasive way ☺️
The Ballinger Family are amazing! they are so sweet and so educational for home-schooling. They have 5 adorable kids and I love learning from them coming from a 25 year old with no kids yet and thats what I like about these channels in particular is that I can appreciate what they are saying because it's genuine and authentic for them and their family, I know every family is different but thats what makes it even more fun to learn from because each family lifestyle is so different. So I appreciate your channel Sarah and The Ballinger Family because you both do content that is genuine and authentic to you and I as a viewer can appreciate that and take what I can learn with me throughout life and eventually when my partner and I decide to have children :)
Sending all the love from Australia
Yes! I so agree with you about family vloggers. I deactivated Facebook and Instagram about a month ago because I realized that any opinions that I shared would be inadvertently be associated with them as well in my *friends’* eyes, and I have too many unpopular opinions to bring that judgment upon my kids as well. I’ve seen people say horrible things about children online based on their parents’ choices, and it just baffles me. Like you said, they’re so innocent and vulnerable, and they need the most respect and protection from this harsh world. ❤️
Hi Sarah! I completely respect your view on “family vlogging” I, too, am a private person and I admire that you’ve chosen to limit your kids’ exposure on the internet. It’s better to play it safe rather than reveal too much and then regret it later on. Also the bit about only posting our best moments online... most adults choose to post their best moments online, and I think kids should be able to make that choice too. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
I love the way you said that and respect your kids and husband's privacy!
"I can't even imagine a better green onion" - this gave me life for some reason 😂
Sara I really like you but you have shown your youngest child Labour online. Her first appearance in the world. I did respect you for that bravery move and I think its your decision where to draw the line . But don't tell me that you are not family bloger.....
The way I look at it, she's a MOM blogger not a family blogger. Like she said, her kids are a big part of her life. Giving birth is more about her than her baby, imo. She's not vlogging her family, but her life WITH a family.
I have watched a lot of videos from family vloggers where something embarrassing or something that clearly makes the children uncomfortable to talk about is being forced on them just to make money. I think its really sad and when those kids get older they won't have trust with their parents.
Much respect to you 🙌🏾 your kids will appreciate it when they’re older
The labrant fam are the GOOD family vloggers. They do not show the bad stuff in their kids! They do such amazing things for the world! Sarah I love you your videos make me so happy!
I would have to disagree their is way too much focus on those poor kids. They have absolutely zero privacy and their own channels and instagram accounts. I know their demographic is tweens and teens, so I get it may seem normal and non exploitive, but they need to do a better job as parents. I know I would be livid if my parents uploaded my life like that.
I totally agree with you on so many super popular channels exploiting their children. You are definitely channel goals. Everything is so nicely put together and beautifully branded. My channel isn't family based but it has my children in periodically. I would never dream to show my children at their worst. It's 100% disrespectful to them.
I appreciate how respectful and balanced you are with your content.
You are family vloger, you show your kids everyone who come on your chanel.
Love this video and your thoughts about family bloggers and digital autonomy. My husband and I have chosen not not put our son online at all except for like family photos. But no day to day stuff or temper tantrums, funny moments etc. For the same reasons. It’s his life first and he is his own person, he’s not old enough to speak for himself so it’s our job to protect his privacy and his agency. Love you Sarah you are the best!
Omg this video was much needed! Finally an influencer who acknowledges the problem within family vloggers...
This channel and this talk which i heard from you about children and family tells me so much about your personality and what a wonderful parent you are..also the fact that i am learning the right from wrong ..where something wrong or not ok is made normal on the internet..worth watching your content👍
i think all the points you made in this were great and ik people in the comments are saying she’s a hypocrite but pls think about how other vloggers expose their children on the internet. i think compared to others sarah’s doing a fine job compared to anyone else. yes she has shown some things in the past but obviously she is much more use to this life as a youtuber and has learned so much more about society. and “family vloggers” show their kids more then themselves throughout almost their entire videos. obviously sarah doesn’t do that and she makes actual educational videos like this one.
YES!! Ive followed a family channel for years and questioned a few things and assumed it was because I'm Christian and they're not. However she posted a clip of her youngest, like 3??, topless. Nope.
I came across your vids A few weeks ago and cleaned out my closet and room and don’t buy stuff unless I really need it so thank you!
LOVE THIS! And totally agree with you. So glad you spoke about this too. I feel as someone who has supported you for so long, you stand by all these things you said through your actions and that is so important ❤️ So many just say so many random things these days but don't stand by any of it through their actions. You are amazing! Such an inspiration! ❤️
Sadly, I did notice the absence of videos on your old vlogging channel. :'( I found you years ago from the video on that channel you had about decluttering and organization where you guys got the new shelves and organized the whole house (literally the best decluttering video on the internet). Just last night I was looking to rewatch a video of yours on that channel and I realized there was nothing there anymore. It felt like the end of an era, and made me so sad honestly. I found SO MUCH useful guidance on that channel, you showed the every day life, and I loved just watching the growth and the day to day stuff. There was a video where your house set on fire and the way you talked to Ivy after that was so informative to me, honestly it's the small things I noticed that really taught me a lot about parenting, as a mom of two young kids under two, and as a person who's growing and changing. I literally used to rewatch some videos from that channel as motivation, others I would watch as education. You are such an amazing and wise mom and I learned alot from you. And I am sure I am not the only one who feels the same way. I hope you can make some sit-down videos on parenting in the future. It's so sad all those videos are gone now.
I also believe there’s a difference between showing the bad things and talking about the bad things. I think it’s nice that you don’t pretend that your life’s perfect, because none of our lives are! And some people’s content is too ‘flawless’ and makes me feel insecure. So you being truthful about that, without showing the bad things resonates with me a lot. Thank you!
I actually think sarah’s content its a bit too “perfect”. She rarely talks about difficulties in her life (besides acne, we all know that). Sometimes i would prefer she would show more imperfect aspects of life... or at least more raw footage. Everything is beautifully done, no dought. But i often feel she is like flawless superwoman.... difficult do relate.
I'm not a mama, nor a vlogger, but if I were, I would totally follow suit when it comes to kids privacy. That's another reason why I like your channel, for the boundaries that you set and for the respect for your family 🙏 sending love from Europe 🤗
Love this! Thank you for sharing your approach to the way you treat your kids. I couldn’t agree more. I think it’s so important to respect our little ones
I feel like you said it better than anyone else have. Our kids are little people and are going to grow up. I want my daughter and future children to feel like we respected them and their privacy, when they grow up and look back on what we choose to share now.
Sarah I do not think you are honest with yourself. You have a video of you having birth and training your children how to go to the restroom. You share pics of your children on Instagram all the time, and you share their rooms (even when you say that is not true, I know how they look). You have shown their cloths, toys, bedrooms, etc.
So stop lying, and accept that you are not as private about your children as you would like to be.
You're so right about the family vloggers. There's only a few I watch, because they are very respectful of their children x
Thank you so much for speaking on children in social media. It is so important to respect children as the human beings that they are. I love sharing cute photos of my son, absolutely, but never at the cost of his dignity or boundaries he may create later in life.
My thoughts on UA-camrs criticizing other UA-camrs... :-( Everyone has the right to vlog the way they want, as long as they respect the law. Let's let people be and as viewers we all have the freedom to consume it or not, no one is forcing us. Your vlog is great when you teach us and make us discover new ways to improve our wellbeing. I feel like pointing at others, won't improve mine, I'll skip this one.
I agree with you 100% about family vlogging. I use to want to be a family vlogger but a while ago my mindset changed so much on that. I am still trying to find my niche on UA-cam but whatever it is, never will I ever exploit my children. I did notice that you never show your kids rooms and I like that. I am going to follow that. I feel like you plan your videos out very carefully to make sure that you dont in anyway share what you dont want and I like that as well! Kudos to you!!❤
Hi Sarah,
I wanted to thank you for making me a little more open-minded. My family was never very religious and I was not baptized, so I never really came into contact with the faith. Your videos have given me a different perspective. I'm not going to join the Church right away, but you gave me a different opinion, and I am now really interested in learning how these things can affect your life. Anyway, I now plan to go to a church service so I can see how it is.
Btw love your Videos 😆💕
That’s so awesome! A lot of churches are also streaming online services now if you wanted to check some out that way before going in person 😊
I love all your videos Sarah! It’s nice learning from a fellow young mother. You are truly inspiring.
I miss young mama vlogs- loved the rawness of it. At least twice a year, I go on a binge of that channel
I love how you are opinionated but respectful.
I know it's not the same, but I dont even like to put too many pictures or video of my dog up. He's my baby (I know) and he does not belong to the internet.
I have ZERO memory of my parents ever speaking poorly of their children to others. I’m sure we were difficult, but they never trash talked us and I am eternally grateful. Today, that’s ALL I hear my mom friends do. Complaining. Talking about their kids’ shortcomings and weaknesses. It makes me sick that not only does this happen, but people make money off of it.
I so appreciate this! I get a lot of hate from people bc I don’t show my 16 month old on social media, I guess privately texting “family” is not enough. You saying this makes me realize that I’m not alone on this topic.
I’m not sure if you’ll get around to reading this but thank you. I have been toying with the idea of starting a UA-cam channel but didn’t want to let so many into our private lives, especially that of our kids. You helped show me that it is possible!
It's awesome to see Sarah chatting with her friends (subscribers) in the comments. It means a lot 💗that she looks and replies to comments.
Your skin looks so glowy and beautiful throughout this whole video!!! And thank you for talking about this topic, it’s really important to shed more light on the topic
Honestly girl I don’t share in your conservative values but you say so much stuff I absolutely agree with and wish more people would echo. I can’t believe how young you are, too. You’re so well-spoken and accurate here 💯
Sarah... SING FOR US. Just that little snippet of your voice when you were adjusting the camera was so wonderful 😍😍
I love the kiddos beach outfits!!
I love that you cook for your family! And here is a tip I told my mom that saves her A LOT OF TIME!
Use a hand mixer to shred your cooked chicken. IT WORKS & takes maybe 3 minutes❤❤❤
The comments section did not pass the vibe check! :( I was hoping I'd find like-minded individuals who support Sarah and the amount she chooses to share her life and children. Sarah has inspired many to follow Christ, take better care of themselves, homeschool their kiddos, live a more minimalistic lifestyle (and much more) because these are things she's passionate about. I believe her channel is about her and her interest. I personally believe Sarah has an amazing work (YT) and life balance and I think we've all seen proof of this in her content. Thank you for being an inspiration to me and many others Sarah! ♥
Side note: Why is no one talking about how Sarah was a BOSS when cutting that onion?! When I cut an onion I look like I just watched Ellie and Carl's love story from Up. 😭 Like I'm genuinely impressed!
extremely well said, love this. Thanks for sharing!
Will you ever do your Bible study routine?
Also, if anyone has prayer requests, I’ll pray ❤️
@A B That is a great thing to pray for. I am a homeschooling momma and have been for 13 years! It has been one of the best decisions I've ever made. I will pray for you guys, as well 💕💕💕💕
I don’t normally comment on videos but I loved this!!! I watch your channel a lot and this is my 1st comment. I sometimes cringe at what family vlogs put up when it comes to their children, as I’m very protective about my little ones. I love how you keep this channel focused on YOU. Keep it up
Oh you gotta love 💕 the misconceptions about Canada 🇨🇦. I live in a warm spot in the Okanagan valley.
You are so right. I was thinking of this for a long time: do parents have the right to put their kids online? Now I am persuaded they definitely don't. People do not own their kids. Chlidren are human beings and privacy is their right. I think family-based vlogs and reality shows should not be allowed. I appreciate that you are respectful of your children's privacy.
𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬
As adorable as your kids are, I think it’s best to keep them as private as possible. I totally agree that you need to protect your kids on the internet! It’s not right that some family vloggers are basically making their kids child stars, and there’s enough troubles Disney stars to prove how that can go. I think when your kids grow up, they will appreciate how you kept them separate from your channel.
I watch you because I enjoy YOUR content, like this channel is literally "Sarah Therese" and I've subscribed because of that. And yes, I watch these vlogs, knowing you're a mom, and enjoy that aspect, but it's not all you are and I like that you focus on yourself.
Oh goodness lol idk why but everytime I see someone juicing I cant help but think the pulp is basically veg poop😂
Are the juice pee? 😳😳
@@graceignacio306 😂😂😂😂😂
I can't juice. I want the pulp.
That is why a Vitamix is better, whole fruit and veg. juicer, no waste or pulp
And sucha waste of a nutritious part, the fibre that helps the body gradually absorb all the sugars released! Much better to use a Nutribullet that keeps the whole food.
I'm always fascinated when I watch Americans make their bed-there seem to be so many layers! We only have one duvet (?) and that's it😎😍
Sam Bryant yeah but I think it's the same with beds. But I totally forgot she's Canadian:)
Winter just ended in Leafland.
@@iceprincess2134 I mean this indepedently of weather or season - I've seen Americans living in California do the same, the thing with the comforter thrown over the bed and the white sheets etc. It just fascinates me!
The music in the intro reminds me of the music my church plays while everyone shuffles in and finds their seats 😂 I need the Rona to go away so I can get back to church!!
I think everything you’re saying about family vlogging can be used in daily life. Respect for our children and their autonomy and privacy should be more on the forefront of our thoughts as parents. Totally agree with everything you said. Also adventures in odyssey for the win! I grew up listening to it every Saturday morning and loved it.
Just because something is normal doesn't make it okay to post on the internet.
Hi sarah, am not married nor have kids (yet to get married though) but your videos are like a good guide for me.. I am learning so much through your vlogs... I will remember you in my prayers that you along with your family grow in God's love. ❤Thank you.
I love your thoughts on the family vlogs! I've had a lot of people tell me I should show more about my kids (I don't share first names or their faces on my blog or youtube channel), but I have the same feelings that you do. I thought I was the only one!
I like to see that we have other dimensions to us. That we are not just mothers which is why I watch. You remind me to take care of me!
Hey I got a little hack for you if you cut the core out of the pepper in a circle first it is a lot easier and you get all the seeds out at once so you don't have to wipe the seeds down afterwards..... just a little something I discovered myself not too long ago😁😁
Sarah, I get now why you said that people should be very careful with whatever comments or things they have to say. I'm just reading the comments and honestly, I found it very discouraging how some of what they say are often just pointing out negative things about things you've said and done. Sometimes people change through the years and it's natural. I wish people wouldn't correct or state contradictions but just understand and know that sometimes, things are done in a step-by-step process. Wanting someone to do everything perfectly is just a little selfish. But I am so glad you didn't let any of it get to you. For me, your life, your kids, your family, your decisions, in spite of any comments. Much love.
I agree I have seen family cloggers that exploits their disabled kids and then you get family vloggers with disabled kids that do it respectfully towards their kids and where it actually is informative and helpful. One family vlogger I saw actually made me think of those Moms with Munchausen syndrome. It was realy disturbing. Thanks for speaking up and being honest.
With all the drama going on now about family vloggers, it was super interesting to hear your opinion! Some UA-camrs in your position would choose to film their kids daily and show every little detail that me as a viewer has no business seeing!
Thank you for talking about this! ♥️ It’s been a lot on my mind lately, and I think you have a wonderful perspective and insight
Soooo well spoken!! I was very much for the idea of keeping kiddos off of UA-cam content in general, but I wasn’t entirely sure why I had those beliefs. So good to have my personal convictions put into words!! (Btw you are so inspirational and calming to watch!! Sending love from Spain!!)
Okayyyyyy but a lot of your content was family vlogging and about your kids for the past two years I have been subbed. I don’t watch every video but you show your kids enough that I feel like I know a lot about them-Ivy, Calvin, and Elizabeth. You’re being a huge hypocrite here.
I don't mean to attack you but what do you actually know about her kids from the clips that Sarah shows? All I can tell is that Ivy is very close to her mama, Calvin is kinda fussy sometimes and Elizabeth is the small one. I don't think that that's information that could potentially harm them in any way.
Im pretty sure that i unsubscribed bc of homebirth vids and the next day the newborn being on the thumbnail...
I've been subscribed for years and I actually don't know a lot about her kids. Especially based on actual family vloggers. She is who she says she is. As she said in the video, she actively tries to show less of her kids... and would imply that she has shown more of them in the past and doesn't agree with that type of content. I wouldn't say that it makes her a "huge hypocrite"
I love that you are so respectful of your kids I would hate to have to have my life broadcasted at birth. And your kids will appreciate you so much more by doing this.
