I’m going to guess from you’re comment that you are either not old enough or don’t have the proper cognitive functioning to be allowed to operate a phone. So no one is offended by your ignorant comment. However; if you’re so worried about online safety, maybe don’t comment dumb stuff under a first and last name. Hopefully you’re not the real Ella Larder. You have no idea what you’re talking about and are jumping to conclusions about a family based on windows of their life online. Get a life. Grow a brain.
I agree with Savannah on the gift giving. Rather than giving away half of the gifts the kids get for Christmas, have the kids go through their toys, clothes from the year before and donate them!
me too. what’s the point in gifting your kids presents if you’re going to make them give them away. just buy things and donate them right away. don’t get the child happy and then take it away right away. let them have a year or more to play with it until they decide they’re ready to give it away
@@kadenfalkner7007or better yet only buy things you know the child really wants or needs. Not things you think are cute so you buy them and then they don’t play with them
I did that with my kids. Heck there's no way a kid can keep all gifts forever. Or we'd pack away the toys they didn't really play with and we'd have a big yard sale in spring and the kids got to keep the money. But we did donate toys that were gently used. 😉
Definitely agree with Sav. What's the point of giving your kids something for Christmas just to disappoint them and make them give half of them away? I mean I get teaching them to give back, donate, or whatever but make them go through their old stuff to get rid of right before Christmas. If they're anything like my daughter has always been they probably have brand new toys in their room anyway that hasn't been touched. Just my opinion though. Not hating because I love you both so much. And I'm sooooooo excited about the new baby. Congratulations yall!!!!!!!!
My mom worked in a police department in the 90s and she said she saw cases that she couldn’t believe and because of it we were a no sleep over home, I hated the rule and fought about with regularly with my parents. We were the only family with that rule and other parents even disparity my Parents. I was raised in a Christian home and our friends were totally trustworthy and gave my parents no reason not to be trusted. I’m a grown women now and seeing the unfortunate and dark truths of *SOME* of those families and the things I was protected from, I can’t thank my parents enough. I’ll be continuing the rule in my home!
Your Mum is and I turn you are incredibly smart. As a teacher but especially as a foster Mum I actually have the same rule because some of the case files I had to read were horrific. I wouldn't risk anything more happening to them. I heard on the news today that the police have just arrested a gymnastics teacher for 26 counts of child r*** and having child pictures on his computer. There are now others coming forward and it started in 2014 until the present. It's a reminder of how a dodgy person can look like a friendly neighbour or local coach.
Yes definitely teach your kids that sharing is caring. But I agree with Sav that they shouldn’t have to get rid of their Christmas presents. But rotating their toys and teaching them that other kids may enjoy them is a great idea!
I agree cause its not very fair to give them presents then saying to get rid of half of them when they could do the same thing but with old toys they dont like anymore
I like the no sleep over thing, but letting her stay pretty late is a good idea. Because at the end of the night you know she’s home safe and she still got to have fun
I think as a child I would resent my parent/parents for making me give up my new gifts. I would feel like “what did I do wrong? Why don’t my parent think I deserve my new things?” Sure have the kids go through their old toys, but not the new.
If you want to give away gifts to other people or children involve your kids in the angel tree. Have them go through there old toys and clothes and donate those. I wouldn’t give them new gifts to give away. That seems harsh to me. I don’t mean any hate but there are other ways to show and teach them to appreciate what they have and to do for others not so fortunate.❤
As someone who helps out with middle school girls. PLEASE do not give your children a phone until it’s NEEDED. There is no reason for kids to have tiny computers in their pockets all the time. Especially when they are a child of an influencer and of a family that receives so much undeserved hate. It seems like you are doing this already. And to this I say, thank you! And encourage other parents to do the same. I love the idea of the smart watch with limited contacts, but there is no reason for them to have a cell phone until they start driving.
Yeah my mom said I can’t have my phone right now cause I’m in middle school she said until I’m 10 th grader and this is why I have A in all my classes ❤ Thank you
I think those simple, non-smart phones are okay (marketed to seniors) - limit access to when the child is away from home only - with the understanding that its only to be used for calling mom & dad :)
Biggest regret I have as a parent! I was honestly thinking safety so I could know where they were at all times (while playing with friends) and if they ever needed me. I wish I would have looked into those watch phone things or even the new things that look like flip phone that you can program to ONLY numbers you want the child to have.
Isn’t it weird for the other parents if you tell them that their daughter can sleep over at your house but you don’t trust them to keep your daughter safe at their house?
I feel like it's probably one of those things where you say, "yeah we just don't let any of them sleepover other people's houses until they're older. It's a rule in our house, but other's are welcome to come over to ours" sorta thing. There's some nice ways to put it, and I feel like nowadays there will be other parents that probably have the same rule or feel the same way.
I personally prioritize my child’s safety over what others feel. I get it, it can get awkward, but ultimately the priority is my child’s safety. My mom did the same with me and friends stayed over often, some parents don’t get offended.😊
@@marthlaw7893exactly! My daughter stayed at her friends house in fifth grade and the father of this friend would smack her bottom area …he always did it to his own daughter. I didn’t think it was appropriate to just walk up and tap in your daughters bum and ESPECIALLY not out your grown man hands on another child especially a female! When my daughter told me that I couldn’t stand the thought of her staying with anyone else and I told her that her friend was more than who stay with her but I didn’t want her to stay anywhere until she was older. She is now 15 and still doesn’t ask to stay anywhere! Unless her sister stays too because they have the same friends!

If you haven't figured it out yet, an idea on the x-mas gifts! I had a friend's mom who growing up, she did "Helper elves". The story was: Santa found kids along his journey who didn't make the list because they didn't have an address. Mom and dad got an email/text calling for help on Christmas Eve. Santa's elves don't have time to build new presents so he asks kids on the nice list to be helper elves. They go through and put a number of their older toys that don't get played with as much in a red sack like Santa's and that gets left out with the cookies before bed. Santa takes them and leaves a thank you for helping the other kids. Then my friend's mom would take the sack and donate the toys to our local women's shelter the day after Christmas. You could always change it up though if there are local toy drives near you that happen right before Christmas.
If someone does this, please make sure the toys are gently used. One Christmas, my brothers and I received presents from an organization. When my mom went to get them for us to open she discovered, they were all broken. :(
Having to give away half their gifts is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Like Savanna said - donate, go buy from an angel tree, etc. But don't traumatize them or make them sad lol.
seriously!! Take them to a store and tell them to pick out some presents to donate or something. But giving them 8 gifts and then telling them "oh btw you have to give away half of them" is so messed up.
@@MyaNoelle-ub7ft that doesn't teach selflessness IMO. It just adds sadness to a happy day for no reason. Just give them half the number of gifts in the first place then teach them about volunteering etc when they're old enough.
This was one of my favorite videos you have made. I appreciate your honesty and to be honest you really taught me a life lesson! I am 53 years old and you taught me a life lesson. I’m sure you can figure out what question but I make you 1 promise… I will find that godly moment and I will find my worth. I deserve to be treated with kindness. Thank you both and please know that you do make a difference and I know all 4 of my kids will be proud of their mom 💗💗 Thank You 🙏🏻🙏🏻
You are amazing parents. Whatever decisions you take as parents is the good one. For my kids I didn't let them have sleepovers before the age of 15. Because, I wanted to keep them safe but, I always wanted them to have sleepovers before they left my house. For them to make the right decisions on there own but, still having us close if something happens.
You can't keep kids locked in a closet so to speak. I think people are too paranoid. Yes bad things happen but they are not as bad as people think it is.
I appreciate your answer on sleep overs, it’s so important to put your kids safety before anything else… even the comfort of those you trust and love… curious if you do sleepovers with family? And what about when you go away just the two of you? Do you let a nanny stay over? So curious on your thoughts! With love, Bri
My husband and I look forward to every single video ever since you guys just started dating! 7 years of watching and loving every video! Thanks for spreading Jesus in your relationship and parenthood. ❤
i completely agree with Savanah on presents, imagine having to give away gifts that you had just received, i think it is better to donate used gifts, so your own kids are also happy
That’s not what they meant. Not giving away the ones you just got give away some you already had. So if they gotb8 presents they have to give away 4 toys they already have
Or instead of giving a gift away after you get it or see it, each year your child could go pick out 1 gift to that can be for a child that is in need or whose situation wouldn't allow them to have any otherwise and they can know each year that they will receive 1 less gift than they otherwise would because donating a gift takes the place of that gift but your kid can pick it so they usually are excited and want to be able to go and be the one to pick
I was thinking more of so many of the names she has to switch over and like you know she’ll get married one day so then she has a switch more names just too much. I probably would’ve said no just for that reason because that’s too much name switching for me.😅
Would you ever take your kids off the internet? You can show that you’re a parent without showing your child protect your kids from gross people on the internet.
Love you and your family so much! I know y’all don’t listen to the negativity and I respect that bc it can be hard! You are great parents and I pray God continues to bless your life!
@@nancyfarkas3592 reading it and actually letting it affect your emotions are two different things. If you don’t like them just don’t watch them! Simple! I hope you have a merry Christmas tho
I’ve been a fan before y’all got married! Y’all are such a positive role as what a loving, Christian family can be. Wishing y’all the best and sending good vibes your way! Again, my fav TH-cam family ❤
God sent you to be a positive role model as her dad and you have done an amazing, positive role model as her dad. Just always include her biological dad in her life he loved her too ❤
I think that is a good idea about your rule for no sleep overs. Even if it is with people you trust. As a victim of child abuse, I can tell you from personal experience, that even people you think you can trust, can have a dark side.
Hey! I have been watching yall for as long as i can remember. I have watched Everleigh grow up to be a wonderful young lady she has become. I have watched Posie grow from when she was just born to now she has a wonderful life ahead of her that God has given her same with Everleigh. I have watched Zealand become a little man like Cole. Sunday has grow up so much she is so beautiful i pray that she will have greater days to come that God has given her. I love yall so much you are supported no matter what happens❤.
Im not trying to be mean but this is something im very strongly agree that Everliegh diserves better Cole is not her dad and shes been alot more sad recently all you guys do is get more kids and everliegh is just a person now she is always so anxious i can always see her shaking she was a lot happier before
Regarding sleep overs, I think you are very smart. Even with people who you think you can trust, I would still avoid them. As a victim myself, it wasn't the other kids, it was adults who actually were the threat.
I really hate everleigh's mom. She don't even give any attention to everleigh and in most of their videos everleigh looks sad and tried ...😞 I feel like she is always being left out and u guys just give most of ur love and attention to the younger one's....🙁
I don't think you answered the 'do I regret putting my children on the internet?' very well. The main thing you worried about was 'hate comments', which I get is horrible. However, surely the biggest regret would be exposing your children to potentially wrongful eyes who are watching them for sinful reasons?
It’s funny how random internet strangers think they’re owed something lol she’s clearly VERY loved and taken care of so I’m sure anything going on in her life is handled to the absolute best of their ability. You see what 20 minutes of their life once a month?
I feel that ev won’t go through with the adoption because that’s the one thing that her dad gave her that her mom and Cole can’t sell, ruin, or get rid of. I hope she stays representing the beautiful man her father was and grows up to move back home where she’s closer with her father’s side of the family.
I think it is a great idea for your children to give a gift to someone, but I think it would be more meaningful if they were going shopping for the gift, wrapping it up, making a card and the pleasure of giving it to another child.
Cole, love your maturity shining in this video! Actually, you both are excellent spokespeople for such topics. Bless y’all for helping others! May you and your family be always be blessed! 🙏🏻💞🙏🏻
Ik :( ever since her real dad died it’s been rlly hard and unfair like example when they sang a video they didn’t care when she was singing but they just smiled when the like 3 year old sang her part she deserves better if u read this give my comment a like!
I agree to everything BUT the cheating question. 😁 I’ve been cheated on in PREVIOUS relationships and now I am married to husband for 8 years and if he cheated I would be out IMMEDIATELY 😂❤
Thank you for sharing your views so honestly. As someone who doesn’t have children get, I love hearing about your Christian approach to parenting and marriage. Thank you.
Ok Evs mom if you see this I have something to say to you First: you are changing your whole life and that a tons of videos of you and your husband humiliating your kids for vews and other stuff Next: IM PRETTY Sure that evs REAL DAD passed away on a Friday and you guys did not tell ev right away and that just sounds so wrong Last: maybe your kids want to live a normal lifestyle. And ev been looking really uncomfortable in your vid’s now. To me and many others we think ev don’t deserve having parents like you they probably don’t want all that fame. Everyone will counting hating until ev feels comfortable we will continue to pray for ev and her siblings.
The relationship Cole and ev is amazing. But whenever sav and evs sister is in a video, everleigh is ignored. Do you guys even think everleigh is there?
I remember a very sad terrifying moment in my childhood.. I'm 52 now and my heart still skips a beat when this image arrives in my mind. My mom told my sister and I that we were going to donate some of our toys. We were all on board with it until my mom grabbed Fred the teddy bear. To this day hes imprinted on my mind. We went around and around, I kept saying please not Fred take anything but Fred... PLEASE!!! crying I ran away grabbing Fred. Things calmd down and I hid Fred under my bed. When I got home from school Fred was gone, she just took him without a thought. So becareful and take your children seriously. Don't take something that's important to them. Yes later in life I asked why Fred her comment " I was mad at you"!!!😢
I’m so sorry to hear. My Mishutka (inspired my Mishka, which means baby cub in russian) was a bear I had when I turned 2 and I slept with every night. When I took her to show and tell day for school, a girl grabbed him out my backpack and took him away from me without me knowing! I sobbed for days, I couldn’t sleep and all I wanted was Mishutka. I had nightmares without cuddling her to sleep every night. One day, the school’s office called me in and I was able to get her back, by the grace of god.
I don't get what is wrong with people for always hating on them! They are a very good Christian family, and I am so proud of how they are doing the will of God!!🙏🙏
Savannah I would love it if you made a video about how homeschooling is going. Kind of what curriculum you guys are following, and just things up that alley. I would love to homeschool my own kids but am not sure where to start.
I am 24 and only ever slept over at my grandparents house. We were allowed people to sleep over but we weren’t allowed to sleep out. My parents were very strict about the no sleeping out rule and it was because they couldn’t control the visitors at that house even at their closest friends houses and where I would be sleeping to be safe. In the thick of it, it’s tough to understand but as a 24 year old I really understand their point of view and appreciate their protection.
I have a friend who only ever let her daughter sleep at their grandparents, (almost every weekend. ) because she didn’t study anyone else. After her daughter got older she found out grandpa was abusing her. 🤦♀️
I too agree with Savannah on Christmas. I don't think it's right to make them give away their gifts. Maybe give each child 7 gifts and let them pick an 8th to give to charity as well as to donate some toys they no longer play with.
You both are so so vulnerable on social media, which is such a blessing and a curse at the same time. Props to you and for family for hanging in there during the tough times, because there are so many families out there that look up to you all, and you really are a great influence. I love this video, God bless you and your family.❤
I am the oldest of four and they are my half siblings. My father passed when I was only 4 months old and my step dad was in my life at a very young age. It never affected my relationships with my siblings or my dad. I chose to not get adopted for a few reasons and it did not change how I viewed or felt about my dad. I did think about it as I got older, so I’m sure she will too!
I don’t get what he means by “giving away their Christmas presents”. What’s the point of giving someone a gift if they’re going to give it away? That doesn’t make sense.
That sounds horrible for a child to receive gifts and then be forced to get rid of them. Now taking them out to help pick out and donate presents for an angel tree or volunteer for something definitely.
I would also just let her understand that people see a very small part of y’all’s lives… they may say mean things but they don’t know you guys at all. Praying those who leave mean comments will learn that y’all are human and learning and no one needs to read rude things people say about them.
I get the whole sleepover thing, but it almost seems rude to not give the children's parents the respect and trust that you expect them to give you when letting their kids stay at your house. To me I just feel as though like if you're not going to let her stay the night at other people's houses you shouldn't allow other kids into your house either
I will always watch you guys. You guys are Christians and so am I. That’s not the only reason why but it’s one of the reasons. I think 🤔 your kids are adorable 🥰 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. That scripture helped build my confidence from 0 to 100. Now I’m the most confident I’ve ever been and I’m trying to teach my kids and train my kids in the way that they should go and they’ll never depart from it. That’s what the Bible says. Happy Birthday 🥳 to Everleigh
I love how y’all handled adoption. Let ev choose if she wants that step or not. I know as a step child around her age I do not want to be adopted. My parents have never talked about it to me but if they did I would hope they handle it just like you did❤
Just remember with the world. Ignore the jealous haters. They'll constantly try bringing people down to try ruin people's lives. Don't give them that win. They're NOT worth it.
@@Addie_add973so you aren’t great you are literally evil you’d of course project your literal evil onto people who’re literally exactly the opposite cause y’know you’re literally evil
It's the fact ya'll know chomo's are watching and putting your kids in their playlists...and you STILL put videos out knowing your kids are at risk. Such loving parents...suuuuuure.
Does it even matter that they’re just half siblings? I’ve always just believed or I never thought of my brothers as anything other than my brothers. Not half or step they’re just my brothers. ❤
I know people have their opinions about children and social media but I think you are both doing the right thing in regards to preparing Everleigh for the negative aspect of social media. I am a teacher (grades 5 and 6 music) and I can see the difference with kids who have social media vs the kids that don’t. You are doing the right thing in teaching her that people can be vicious and that you have to ignore the comments and move on.
I don’t allign with them 100% faith wise but to hate on them?? is so confusing. They obviously love their children and are learning as all parents are.
I am so happy to live in a safe country where our children can spend the night with their family and friends and just have fun. I have never been afraid of sleepovers for my kids. I live in Denmark where we can also leave our prams alone outside.
There are sexual predators literally everywhere. Location doesn't mean you should not be aware and diligent in protecting yourself and children from SA. This is not just a US problem.
I love your videos and definitely agree with most of what you say. I honestly don’t think just because some people leave negative comments they are sad or have a sad life. I think some people are just stuck in their ways and beliefs and do things differently sometimes. (I mean don’t get me wrong, comments about appearance or comments that are crossing boundaries, definitely sad individuals), I’m just saying as far as people leaving negative comments like maybe not agreeing with something you do or say, doesn’t make them as individuals, maybe opinionated or something triggers them. I guess what I’m trying to say is, Some negative comments or what you may think are negative comments are definitely valid in some people’s minds. Doesn’t automatically make them sad or lifeless! I think when you have as many followers as you do, you really need to understand everyone lives and does things differently. Just wanted to put that out there because recently I got some backlash for disagreeing with a content creators thoughts on something that truly meant a lot to me. They basically told me to get a life and stop watching their videos. Just because I put it out there and didn’t agree with what they were saying. I was very hurt by that. I rarely comment but when I do, It’s always giving support. The very few times I disagree, it puts us subscribers in a place where people come at us. It’s definitely a two way street. I love your videos, you guys are definitely very inspiring.. keep up the great hard work, you guys are amazing❤

Santa's elves don't have time to build new presents so he asks kids on the nice list to be helper elves. They go through and put a number of their older toys that don't get played with as much in a red sack like Santa's and that gets left out with the cookies before bed. Santa takes them and leaves a thank you for helping the other kids. Then my friend's mom would take the sack and donate the toys to our local women's shelter the day after Christmas. You could always change it up though if there are local toy drives near you that happen right before Christmas.
If someone does this, please make sure the toys are gently used. One Christmas, my brothers and I received presents from an organization. When my mom went to get them for us to open she discovered, they were all broken. :(

Having to give away half their gifts is the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
Like Savanna said - donate, go buy from an angel tree, etc. But don't traumatize them or make them sad lol.
seriously!! Take them to a store and tell them to pick out some presents to donate or something. But giving them 8 gifts and then telling them "oh btw you have to give away half of them" is so messed up.
Teaching them to b selfless and giving is not traumatizing for them
it's not traumatizing. they're js doing their best to keep their children humble and make sure they know to give n not js receive
@@MyaNoelle-ub7fttrue
@@MyaNoelle-ub7ft that doesn't teach selflessness IMO. It just adds sadness to a happy day for no reason. Just give them half the number of gifts in the first place then teach them about volunteering etc when they're old enough.
This was one of my favorite videos you have made. I appreciate your honesty and to be honest you really taught me a life lesson! I am 53 years old and you taught me a life lesson. I’m sure you can figure out what question but I make you 1 promise… I will find that godly moment and I will find my worth. I deserve to be treated with kindness. Thank you both and please know that you do make a difference and I know all 4 of my kids will be proud of their mom 💗💗 Thank You 🙏🏻🙏🏻
“Kids that we know came from great families” rubs me wrong.
You are amazing parents. Whatever decisions you take as parents is the good one. For my kids I didn't let them have sleepovers before the age of 15. Because, I wanted to keep them safe but, I always wanted them to have sleepovers before they left my house. For them to make the right decisions on there own but, still having us close if something happens.
You can't keep kids locked in a closet so to speak. I think people are too paranoid. Yes bad things happen but they are not as bad as people think it is.
I appreciate your answer on sleep overs, it’s so important to put your kids safety before anything else… even the comfort of those you trust and love… curious if you do sleepovers with family? And what about when you go away just the two of you? Do you let a nanny stay over? So curious on your thoughts! With love, Bri
There is nothing wrong with sleepovers. I did them and never had anyone do anything to me. I think the media likes to make people paranoid.
My husband and I look forward to every single video ever since you guys just started dating! 7 years of watching and loving every video! Thanks for spreading Jesus in your relationship and parenthood. ❤
i completely agree with Savanah on presents, imagine having to give away gifts that you had just received, i think it is better to donate used gifts, so your own kids are also happy
That’s not what they meant. Not giving away the ones you just got give away some you already had. So if they gotb8 presents they have to give away 4 toys they already have
Or instead of giving a gift away after you get it or see it, each year your child could go pick out 1 gift to that can be for a child that is in need or whose situation wouldn't allow them to have any otherwise and they can know each year that they will receive 1 less gift than they otherwise would because donating a gift takes the place of that gift but your kid can pick it so they usually are excited and want to be able to go and be the one to pick
The sad thing is that my first thought was that Everleigh probably doesn't want to get adopted because she is already getting excluded as is.
I was thinking more of so many of the names she has to switch over and like you know she’ll get married one day so then she has a switch more names just too much. I probably would’ve said no just for that reason because that’s too much name switching for me.😅
Would you ever take your kids off the internet? You can show that you’re a parent without showing your child protect your kids from gross people on the internet.
Fr thow
Love you and your family so much! I know y’all don’t listen to the negativity and I respect that bc it can be hard! You are great parents and I pray God continues to bless your life!

They say they don't yet they won't show their kids anymore. So clearly they DO listen to it.

I pay no attention to rumors.
Girl savanna said yeah yeah yeah the whole video lmao 🤣
God sent you to be a positive role model as her dad and you have done an amazing, positive role model as her dad. Just always include her biological dad in her life he loved her too ❤
Amen! Perfectly said!
Cole isn't her dad
I think that is a good idea about your rule for no sleep overs. Even if it is with people you trust. As a victim of child abuse, I can tell you from personal experience, that even people you think you can trust, can have a dark side.
Hey! I have been watching yall for as long as i can remember. I have watched Everleigh grow up to be a wonderful young lady she has become. I have watched Posie grow from when she was just born to now she has a wonderful life ahead of her that God has given her same with Everleigh. I have watched Zealand become a little man like Cole. Sunday has grow up so much she is so beautiful i pray that she will have greater days to come that God has given her. I love yall so much you are supported no matter what happens❤.
Yall cole and sav sent me something from telegram and idk WHat that is and Luke what they meant they said a christmas present for you
I think it was so very honest of you both to answer these personal questions like this. I love your Family….. Have a lovely Merry Christmas 🎅🏼❄️❤️
Im not trying to be mean but this is something im very strongly agree that Everliegh diserves better Cole is not her dad and shes been alot more sad recently all you guys do is get more kids and everliegh is just a person now she is always so anxious i can always see her shaking she was a lot happier before
Regarding sleep overs, I think you are very smart. Even with people who you think you can trust, I would still avoid them. As a victim myself, it wasn't the other kids, it was adults who actually were the threat.
I really hate everleigh's mom.
She don't even give any attention to everleigh and in most of their videos everleigh looks sad and tried ...😞
I feel like she is always being left out and u guys just give most of ur love and attention to the younger one's....🙁
They say it’s a lot with 4 kids and now she’s pregnant again…. IF FOUR IS TO MUCH STOP HAVING KIDS
They said it's a lot with 4 kids. (Technically, it's a lot with even just 1 child.) They never said though that it was unmanageable.
No hate to you but it is their decision and their family so it’s completely up to them

Keep up the good work with keeping your children safe. Happy that you talk to your fans about your faith 🙏 and love
I don't think you answered the 'do I regret putting my children on the internet?' very well. The main thing you worried about was 'hate comments', which I get is horrible. However, surely the biggest regret would be exposing your children to potentially wrongful eyes who are watching them for sinful reasons?

I feel bad for EV 😢😮
I feel that ev won’t go through with the adoption because that’s the one thing that her dad gave her that her mom and Cole can’t sell, ruin, or get rid of. I hope she stays representing the beautiful man her father was and grows up to move back home where she’s closer with her father’s side of the family.
They don’t try to harm her at all they are very good parents
11:45 the way she said “it was very hard” and looked down Cole’s body and then quickly made eye contact 😂😂😂
I think it is a great idea for your children to give a gift to someone, but I think it would be more meaningful if they were going shopping for the gift, wrapping it up, making a card and the pleasure of giving it to another child.
no bro it’s just a CHILD they don’t have that attention span
For real tho I mean I get they need to learn how to share but when they wake up on Christmas day Its just sad@@alivyamarie648

Thank you for sharing your views so honestly. As someone who doesn’t have children get, I love hearing about your Christian approach to parenting and marriage. Thank you.
Ok Evs mom if you see this I have something to say to you
First: you are changing your whole life and that a tons of videos of you and your husband humiliating your kids for vews and other stuff
Next: IM PRETTY Sure that evs REAL DAD passed away on a Friday and you guys did not tell ev right away and that just sounds so wrong
Last: maybe your kids want to live a normal lifestyle. And ev been looking really uncomfortable in your vid’s now. To me and many others we think ev don’t deserve having parents like you they probably don’t want all that fame. Everyone will counting hating until ev feels comfortable we will continue to pray for ev and her siblings.
The relationship Cole and ev is amazing. But whenever sav and evs sister is in a video, everleigh is ignored. Do you guys even think everleigh is there?
Cole and sav channel is crazy u guys wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for everleigh
I remember a very sad terrifying moment in my childhood.. I'm 52 now and my heart still skips a beat when this image arrives in my mind. My mom told my sister and I that we were going to donate some of our toys. We were all on board with it until my mom grabbed Fred the teddy bear. To this day hes imprinted on my mind. We went around and around, I kept saying please not Fred take anything but Fred... PLEASE!!! crying I ran away grabbing Fred. Things calmd down and I hid Fred under my bed. When I got home from school Fred was gone, she just took him without a thought. So becareful and take your children seriously. Don't take something that's important to them. Yes later in life I asked why Fred her comment " I was mad at you"!!!😢
😢😢😢 this is so sad ...
I’m so sorry that happened to you. I hope someone is kind enough to find you a bear just like Fred so you can keep him in Fred’s memory forever 🩷🧸
I’m so sorry to hear. My Mishutka (inspired my Mishka, which means baby cub in russian) was a bear I had when I turned 2 and I slept with every night. When I took her to show and tell day for school, a girl grabbed him out my backpack and took him away from me without me knowing! I sobbed for days, I couldn’t sleep and all I wanted was Mishutka. I had nightmares without cuddling her to sleep every night. One day, the school’s office called me in and I was able to get her back, by the grace of god.
At the end of the day people do what makes you happy, ❤❤❤ life's to short!!!! STOP COMPLAINING BE HAPPY!. THESE PEOPLE ARE SWEET ❤❤❤❤❤

Crazy lust is a sin but we’re supposed to reproduce haha
They verbally abuse their kids
Yes all the way
Savannah I would love it if you made a video about how homeschooling is going. Kind of what curriculum you guys are following, and just things up that alley. I would love to homeschool my own kids but am not sure where to start.
I am 24 and only ever slept over at my grandparents house. We were allowed people to sleep over but we weren’t allowed to sleep out. My parents were very strict about the no sleeping out rule and it was because they couldn’t control the visitors at that house even at their closest friends houses and where I would be sleeping to be safe. In the thick of it, it’s tough to understand but as a 24 year old I really understand their point of view and appreciate their protection.
I have a friend who only ever let her daughter sleep at their grandparents, (almost every weekend. ) because she didn’t study anyone else. After her daughter got older she found out grandpa was abusing her. 🤦♀️
@@valentinegirly6718 kids are more likely to be abused by someone they know. Not some stranger who may visit the house they are sleeping over at.
You guys can change Everleigh’s last name or add Labrant without adopting too 💁🏼♀️
She probably wants to keep her dads last name that’s why she probably doesn’t want it
Ik Cole is not her real dad but why adopt her maybe she wants to keep her last name because of her dad
I too agree with Savannah on Christmas. I don't think it's right to make them give away their gifts. Maybe give each child 7 gifts and let them pick an 8th to give to charity as well as to donate some toys they no longer play with.
when i was growing up my mom would always make me give away a bag of my old toys before Christmas
You both are so so vulnerable on social media, which is such a blessing and a curse at the same time. Props to you and for family for hanging in there during the tough times, because there are so many families out there that look up to you all, and you really are a great influence. I love this video, God bless you and your family.❤
this is such a kind comment , i hope they see it
Fr tho❤️❤️❤️
I am the oldest of four and they are my half siblings. My father passed when I was only 4 months old and my step dad was in my life at a very young age. It never affected my relationships with my siblings or my dad. I chose to not get adopted for a few reasons and it did not change how I viewed or felt about my dad. I did think about it as I got older, so I’m sure she will too!
I don’t get what he means by “giving away their Christmas presents”. What’s the point of giving someone a gift if they’re going to give it away? That doesn’t make sense.
You need to take care of eve. Treat her like you guys treat the others she’s just a kid am the same age as her and I know what’s she’s been through
That sounds horrible for a child to receive gifts and then be forced to get rid of them. Now taking them out to help pick out and donate presents for an angel tree or volunteer for something definitely.
I have a question why do you just start excluding ev
Fr tho
They mentioned one time in a video over a year ago, that Ev did not want to be in as many videos. And they respected that
I would also just let her understand that people see a very small part of y’all’s lives… they may say mean things but they don’t know you guys at all. Praying those who leave mean comments will learn that y’all are human and learning and no one needs to read rude things people say about them.

I get the whole sleepover thing, but it almost seems rude to not give the children's parents the respect and trust that you expect them to give you when letting their kids stay at your house. To me I just feel as though like if you're not going to let her stay the night at other people's houses you shouldn't allow other kids into your house either
If i could ask a question mines would be why do u have elverly take caring of her siblings that is ur job
She isn’t she is the older sister and loves to help care for them
I will always watch you guys. You guys are Christians and so am I. That’s not the only reason why but it’s one of the reasons.

I know people have their opinions about children and social media but I think you are both doing the right thing in regards to preparing Everleigh for the negative aspect of social media. I am a teacher (grades 5 and 6 music) and I can see the difference with kids who have social media vs the kids that don’t. You are doing the right thing in teaching her that people can be vicious and that you have to ignore the comments and move on.

Usa is not all safe
There are sexual predators literally everywhere. Location doesn't mean you should not be aware and diligent in protecting yourself and children from SA. This is not just a US problem.
I love your videos and definitely agree with most of what you say. I honestly don’t think just because some people leave negative comments they are sad or have a sad life. I think some people are just stuck in their ways and beliefs and do things differently sometimes. (I mean don’t get me wrong, comments about appearance or comments that are crossing boundaries, definitely sad individuals),
I’m just saying as far as people leaving negative comments like maybe not agreeing with something you do or say, doesn’t make them as individuals, maybe opinionated or something triggers them. I guess what I’m trying to say is,
Some negative comments or what you may think are negative comments are definitely valid in some people’s minds. Doesn’t automatically make them sad or lifeless! I think when you have as many followers as you do, you really need to understand everyone lives and does things differently. Just wanted to put that out there because recently I got some backlash for disagreeing with a content creators thoughts on something that truly meant a lot to me. They basically told me to get a life and stop watching their videos. Just because I put it out there and didn’t agree with what they were saying. I was very hurt by that. I rarely comment but when I do,
It’s always giving support. The very few times I disagree, it puts us subscribers in a place where people come at us. It’s definitely a two way street. I love your videos, you guys are definitely very inspiring.. keep up the great hard work, you guys are amazing❤
