This was so needed this morning, lost a friend this week and got the phone call to say my aunt had passed earlier today, thank you for bringing some brightness to my day. Bless and love to you all 🌻
Sending love and healing your way sis 💕💕
Sending prayers and healing to your family
Praying for you and your family
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
My condolences🙏🏾
I believe women aren’t meant to just cook, clean,etc. Your son’s need to learn those things as well unless people are raising sons to be Momma’s boys and lazy men. Women now are career women as well as a helpmate. Teaching sons how to do chores is not a just a woman’s job. 🤷🏽♀️
Your talking to a family that lives back in the 1800's.
Very valid point.
Yes!
@Iman Quazzani you sound really bothered or jealous.
@@JRT2005 It bothers me to see a woman exploited by doing everything in the household, while her husband just records and edits videos. I feel sorry for Ella and would never ever want to be in her place. And they remind me of the Duggars with their 19 kids and that did not turn out well. I heard the brother molested 5 of his sisters. And you sound like an asshole.
I feel like Hosanna low key tried to save Halle when she wrapped her arm around her after the “Yes Mom.” Hosanna is so protective 🥰
Halle is the scapegoat of the family and Hezze is the golden child. They mean well, but need some serious reflection.
Halle made her comment in an artistic flair sort of way. I didn't take it that she was being mouthy. Tim is low-key very demoralizing with her.
Lynn Holbrook you gather all of that from seeing 28 edited minutes of their lives?
@Chelsea Rainier yup! Lol big sis duties. Other than that the other comments in this thread are so strange and strange assumptions. Yall don't actually know this family. 😂🤦🏼♀️
ShesBlessed x3 I agree😭
I'm always like "I wish the Grimwade would surprise us with an everyday upload for a whole week or month"I know that's too much but when you love a family like I love the Grimwade 3 times a week it's never enough 😅😅
Literally. I love their videos I wish they posted more
I feel the same way, it's like watching your favorite reality TV show.
Like an omnibus this is the first thing I check on you tube💞
I remember when they would do a vlog once a week on Sundays only. If they post three times a week l'm happy! I love the Grimwade Family. Check out Instagram too and see beautiful pictures of the family.
I agree we need more videos 😀
I love Halles personality she’s really a lovely girl always has such a glow about her, she’s a credit to you.. As are you all .. But shout out to Halle today 🦋
Agreed
I think boys also need a father to help teach them how to treat a woman, because often the way they’re father treats their mother will have an influence on them. Excellent parenting guys💜💜💜 xx
First, I would like to start off and say how much I adore your family. You guys spread positivity and pure love to the world. Rarely do I see channels exercising genuine love. Ella and Tim, you guys are extremely wise ,kind and patient. I personally believe God has put you both on the world to be parents and start a legacy of successful, strong, and loving human beings. However, and I mean this in the most respectful way, I disagree with you guys on something. When describing what you would like to pass on to your children in the framework of their gender, Ella you mentioned that if they (your daughters) don’t know how to “cook, clean, wash, iron be a good wife, etc” you believe you have failed them and Tim you said you believe the same thing but in terms of Heze you said “ if he doesn’t get to his dreams”. I agree with you both, these are all wonderful traits to past to your children however I hope you teach your daughters that they can do more than cook and clean but they can also fulfill their dreams too and Heze can work on his dreams but also help his future wife with cooking and cleaning as well. Ella, when I see a man working and taking care of his family I find that attractive too but it’s important that I, as a women and my future daughters know that I don’t need a man to take care of me and I am capable of doing that myself. I hope you guy’s truly understand where I am coming from and maybe begin sitting down with your children and teach them to blurr some gender roles. Again, I love you guys so much and I mean this criticism in the nicest way possible. ❤️
All of that to say they follow archaic gender roles.
@Jordan... So here is the key for the girls..." Ella, when I see a man working and taking care of his family I find that attractive too. " The problem is Tim does not appear to work, inside or outside of the home. Yet Ella stated that she hopes the girls finds someone to take care of them. Girls learn about relationships by watching their parents, they learn about men by observing their Fathers. Yet these girls are learning that they don't need any additional skills beyond housekeeping, cooking, cleaning and making babies to find a good husband.
@@redeemthetime9990 I was curious about Tims job but wouldn't assume he doesn't work
@@redeemthetime9990 Tim's jobs is his kids and Ella. He uses them to make money while working Ella to the bone.
Cooking, cleaning, taking care of a house and etc... should be qualities everyone needs to have no matter what their gender is. Also, please make sure the girls are encouraged to dream big and have a big purpose, show them black women surgeons, business owner, gymnast and etc... Don’t just talk to them about marriage or raising a family, let them aspire to be more.
I came for this comment!
I was wondering what about the boys, are they going to learn to do stuff around the house? I know I raised my boys that is just not the girls responsibility
evita stewart you did a great job then! I always make sure my brother does as much things around the house and don’t just sit and think it’s the girls’ jobs.
Aminata Diouf I make my sons cook and clean while the girls sleep all day. It’s time we reverse these gender roles. My sons cook and wash dishes and my daughters go to work or school.
Tetsou Joseph lmao great idea
I genuinely adore every one of these children. Heze's dedication and passion. Hosanna's thoughtfulness and protectiveness. Halle's free spirit and joyfulness. Harper's attention to all the littlest things (and the way she tells stories about them). Hazariah's ability to make everyone laugh. We don't know much about lil Houston yet but I can't wait to see her become her own character. When I have children I genuinely hope I manage to raise them to be just as great little people as your kids are.
Thank you Grimwade family for showing the world that traditional families still exist! I am a homemaker and that isn’t always a pretty thing to be in the USA. People look down on you as not having a “career”. My family is my career and I love taking care of them and teaching my girls! My husband takes great pride in being an amazing breadwinner for our family and I couldn’t be more grateful or proud! Just because we have “old fashioned” values doesn’t mean we don’t have value - thank you for pointing that out!
I see it all the time, families are doing great things in life
God Bless you and your family. I also live in the US and I also see alot of hate towards being a home maker and sometimes even a wife and I think its so sad. Being a homemaker is such a more beautiful and rewarding job!
Agreed
@Susan💖💖💖
I hope ur not making ur daughters do everything while ur sons do the bare minimum
I don’t even have children as I’m only 16 but you have taught me so much about parenthood. I hope to raise my children like you do, with the correct disapline, yet the most love ever. Your children are such inspirations. You and Tim deserve not only a gold medal, but all the medals in the world, a trillion gold stars. And as for Heze. What can I say. I love the bond he has with Rue, such a role model. He is so committed to football and has a lot of intelligence and well matured beyond his years. The girls have such an unimaginable bond. The girls are so competitive which I love about them. The way they talk is so mature and the respect they have is unreal. Tim and Ella, I applause you for raising just amazing kids.
From the outside looking in, this is a great and loving family. Love you. Just something to think about: to carefully avoid stereotyping the children. As you know, kids change and sometimes don't like to be "typecast" as they grow and learn. (Who of us does?) I say this in particular with respect to Halle just in this video. She seemed to attract more correction today. As someone who had a similar temperament as a child (energetic, fun-loving, easy to laugh, and smile, very intelligent, yet sensitive and pensive).
Sometimes looking into space means that you are focusing on what the person is saying, not that you are thinking of something else or day-dreaming; especially if you are an auditory or experiential/tactile learner. Either you are absorbing the words coming out of the person's mouth without the distraction of making sure you have the right expression on your face or you are imagining what the person is saying as they are saying it.
And, even if there were instances of not listening, sometimes correcting a child repeatedly when they are striving to please you can cause them to feel disproportionately rejected. A child's mind is different than an adult no matter how mature and intelligent.
Second point: Halle said “Yes Mom” that way after Ella praised Hosanna for saying it so nicely. She was imitating Hosanna in order to get praised as well, it seems to me. You know Halle is “smart and cheeky” but labelling her that way might make her parents assume (sassy) motives for her behaviour that do not accurately reflect her actual motives at times.
The thing is, Halle is perceptive enough to notice that and feel hurt by the false accusation; particularly if it is (or legitimately feels like) a default assumption.
Last point, if you are open: These children are aware that they are on camera and this video will be seen by lots of people. How would any of us feel in that position?
This the same challenge Haarper faces, ar the tender age of 4. And you can see the change overtime. but little Harper seems to always be aware that she needs to step aside and give Rue space. Shes lost her spark and spunk, shes become tentative and waits to be told what to do. Happens in large families, she was the baby and now has become a middle child that sort of fades into the background. I large families, each child still wants to feel special and parents need to make sure they do. Not a criticism of your parenting just an observation that clearly visible in the vlogs.
Brilliant point
@@redeemthetime9990 yes I've noticed this too she sits very quietly in the corner and waits until the camera is on her and even then has very little to say it's so sad in choosing to have a big family Tim and Ella need to ensure each child is heard and feels loved and special
Really valid and thoughtful point
@@redeemthetime9990 Reu is demanding. Harper is a Capricorn. I think she is more likely to not tolerate Reu's BS than anyone and speak it. I say that, because no matter her birth order, she's a leader by nature, unlike Reu. I don't see leadership from him, just a baby who wants to be the center of attention. I do like how they are now addressing Reu's antics and disciplining him with love.
When Harper once said in her prayer, asking God to temper Reu, I felt that. I hoped they understood. She will always love him, but she won't like him, and that's a difference. This is why I loved the video where the family addressed Reu's behavior. Many commenters felt Reu was attacked. But in this home, it is a team. Everywhere else in the world may not be, may not have a vested interest in him, but here, Reu is disciplined with love. He shouldn't get to run the house because he's cute and entertains the maladjusted viewers.
In terms of Harper, she's never going to be silenced. She is going to say what others feel but are too PC to say. I think when she speaks, people should listen to her, not because she had wisdom beyond her years and sees things others are either blind to, or don't want to see. Hosanna maybe the motherlove but she is also an empath. Harper is going to appear to be hard and cold, but she is actually indifferent to coddling because she's going to observe just how much coddling kills potential.
Halle needs a modelling career! That pretty face along with all the sass she has would look amazing on the front of a catalogue!🥰
Nobody asked🤦🏽♂️
vAlphaFN that’s not nice she was complimenting Halle
@@AK-zl8lq nobody asked for your unnecessary comment, yet you wrote it.
Yeahhhh
vAlphaFN So unnecessary 🙄
My mom taught all of her kids to cook, clean, and wash clothes, etc. It’s important to know how to take care of yourself as well as others.
@hopeful1ism drap di 🎤...
Tickle Pink No disrespect for the discussion here but you just seriously described my work place 😩. They hire these young kids who don't care and are so lazy....need constant reminders and direction. That has to be SOME reflection of their upbringing. I'm calling those in their 20s young kids because they don't act like adults and I was not like that in my 20s.
Ella you seem a little stressed in this video and a little snappy at Halle. Her little feelings appeared to have been hurt. I pray that you get some much needed rest and the help that you need. We need your beautiful spirit to continue to shine through. I pray also that you teach all of your babies house chores and not just the girls because your boys will need to know how to take care of themselves independently prior to marriage and interdependently during marriage. And also, your beautiful 4 daughters will need to know how to live independently before marriage and interdepently during marriage. Love you guys and prayers are always with you.
Agree, I was taken a lil aback by this video.
Hey you guys!😂😂😂Do you have to micromanage this Family. Remember we are only seeing a small part of their day guys.
That was a long speech Mum you really sounded you needed a hug.
Praise God you husband listen and recognize it.
You guys are a lovely blessed family
Love conquers all.
She seems like she never sits down and just relaxes. Idk
I believe she was venting. Ella really needs a spa day/me time. You're doing a great job, but don't be so hard on yourself. Being a Mom is hard work. And, you're phenomenal. Glad Tim recognized that and stood by her side withe lots of hugs. Tim...treat Ella to a Spa Day! Or, take the kids out for a few hours. At least once a month... so she can unwind. She deserves it! #bestmom #bestdad
@@angelo7515 I was thinking she might be preggos as well because she seems so tired.
@@KathleenEd I remember her being heavily 9 months pregnant and struggling to do the house chores while Tim sat back and rather than helping
I doubt it I feel like Ella has so much she wants to say but because they've made a marriage where they've put the Male at the top and the female underneath she would feel she is overstepping her boundaries if she says anything I just want to give her a hug and give Tim a stern word of advice if he truly loves her he should treat her as his equal, he should listen when she speaks and validate her feeling rather than says that what a mum does which he does in quite a manipulative way and I'm not saying Tim is a bad person I really like him but he behaves in an immature way like he is an untouchable king who does not have to lift a finger and Heze is small small starting to copy it
The Grimwade's are very traditional I just hope that the kids know there's more to them than being a good wife and mom, or husband. Life is so much more
I don't think they will learn much more than the traditional roles because they are not exposed to much. Ella was very clear in stating that her goals for her daughters are to know how to be good wives, & mothers which means knowing how to cook, clean, do laundry, dishes, ironing, etc. Menial tasks that are traditionally assigned to women. And there is nothing wrong with children of both sexes knowing life skills. What is wrong is when doing menial tasks becomes the end goal especially in a woman's life. What happens to those girls when no Prince Harry comes
along? What will they do then? The only marketable skills outside of marriage that they will have will be to be good maids, housekeepers, and nannies in some affluent British families. Even someone like Prince Harry would never marry a woman whose only claim to fame lies in doing housework. It does not matter that they are pretty and mixed-race most British men don't want to take care of a woman. Most men of a high caliber will want to marry a strong well-educated woman capable of being an equal partner in marriage. Why are these kids not career motivated? None of them want to be teachers, doctors, lawyers, Professors, nurses. businesswomen, accountants, chemists, biologists, etc. What are they going to add to society other than being able to do menial tasks and have babies? And the world of football in Europe and all over the world is extremely competitive so there is a lot of pressure on Hezie to be one of the best. Hopefully he has a plan B in place.
@@carolinerheaa1504 Strangely many kids graduate high school and have no clue what they want to do in their life. These kids are 0-10. They are far more ahead of the average. Did you listen to the entire video? I doubt it. Because everything you blurbed about was discussed in the video.
Iman Ouazzani They’re still young and Tim talked about them being whoever they can be and not just a pretty face. Your article is well articulated but it has no relation to the children at all. Btw these children are not your average children,they’re really intelligent and can be all you mentioned. It clearly shows that you are a new viewer btw.
Iman Ouazzani watch from 17:28 they explain to the girls that there going to have there own dreams and goals
Miss Tarsh You are so correct.
Lady Harper with her random words of wisdom! Love that girl!💜
Heze you are wise beyond your years! Six awesome children! God bless!!!
Me too. She's pretty awesome! 💕
I look forward to watching your family . But, I felt bad for Halle in this video. Her feelings were hurt. Her face 😔. She just stopped engaging. I love that Hosanna sensed it and comforted her sister. Halle is literally the middle. Which is a hard place to have in a large family. Heze is a boy and the oldest. He is favored. Hosana, is Hosana , no explanation needed. Reu and Harper are the littles and Houston is the baby, I’m not being judge mental I love this family. But, I think Halle could’ve been corrected a little softer . Idk the empath in me just went out to Halle on this one. Halle, you are beautiful, free spirited a lovely girl with a vibrant personality. The Grimwade gang loves you.
Lovely family. If the children see dad helping mom more then they will understand that responsibilities are to be shared. Elle seems to be the super mom.

Hello thanks
Interesting vlog. However, I personally believe both genders should be able to do domestic work and obtain a successful career. Having these skills helps you to solely survive & also it is important to have in the future when they do commit into a relationship, they need to be able to add value to relationship in order to cooperate in a partnership EQUALLY & I also understand in traditional Christian beliefs the men take the lead and the women support but it’s also a joint effort ❤️
Completly agree I
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Yes it's TRUE a marriage is a partnership I just pray the girls get older and realise themselves that they are so much more than cooking and cleaning
Linda Samba unless the girls wants to work and the men stay home and cook and clean and be a house-husband. We women can’t do both be housewives and work.
@@tetsoujoseph9128 yes we can there are plenty of women who have families and a career without a house husband take Rochelle Humes the Grimwades are close with the Humes family and both Marvin and Rochelle have careers as well as their family
I am the second sister, second child among 6. When I heard that Heze said “Mum, Hosanna can do that” it reminded me of the period when my brother daily couldn’t find his shoes and my father would say, Girls, find Anthony’s shoes”. Why Anthony didn’t have the responsibility to put his shoes near his bed (or wherever) every night or my parents didn’t, I’ll never know, but it did not feel fair to us girls. I hope your girls will not live in service to their brothers without some equal service from the boys. You don’t know what the future will bring. A Tim for each girl? Let’s hope so, but not someone who will treat her like a doormat or that she’ll take it. Just saying. By the way, Anthony grew up to be a gentle soul who was a wonderful father and husband.
You make a good point.
Exactly. Unfortunately, I think that is the way it is in their household. I see it most of the time when they post videos around their feeding times. And all the girls are participating but Heze like his father is just sitting by the wayside waiting to get served. I think all these kids are going to be in for a rude awakening when they become adults. England is a lot more progressive than that. They might fair better in an Islamic country like Saudi Arabia.
When did he say that?
I honestly do not think that was the point that they were trying to make. He only suggested that the sister should help because both of them were running late. Even though we see a very small snippet of their lives, I believe that they are bringing them up to know that everyone has to help out in the household.
@@carolinerheaa1504 Wow! Such disdain for a family you don't even know. Smh
Halle- ‘was the matta’
I’m deadd😂😂😂
That was VERY FUNNY
I thought i was the only one that found it funny it was hilarious i had to go and watch this again today so i could hear her voice. Lol.
That exchange between her and dad was quite telling as she stood there with her back against the wall and looked at him with that glint and asked "whass' ah matta?" Love this little girl's spunk! It's the artist in her!
Hello from Connecticut in the 🇺🇸. I'm on a staycation starting today and I just wanted to say, your parenting is great. Rest assured that you are doing it well with the help of the Lord🙂🙂
I agree . Sometimes as humans we give ourselves too much credit and it is by the Grace of God the successes of this family. Love me some Grimwads but Love the Lord above everything. 🙏🙏❤❤👍👍😇😇
@@kailinngillen1182 Amen!!💕
I love that all of you really listen to each other and work together through any issue and I love that you guys self reflect with the kids. I think it makes us feel more human to our kids. It shows our kids that we can get through hard times
Hello Ella! The boys should be taught how to cook and clean as well. There’s nothing more attractive than a single man who keeps a tidy home.
and doesn't marry because he has no need for wife
Erm that’s not the only use for a wife!
When parents take time to teach there children like you guys do they become better citizens to there community. I am so glad you take a lot of time with your family. Be Bless Grimwade family!
Please allow the girls to have dreams that don't necessarily include marriage and serving a man.
👏🏿❤
But they are telling the girls that they can have their dreams. And when the time is right they'll know how and what to do for their household. Replay it.
The family is the foundation of society. Some of us wish we had had it so good. Their getting what all children need and crave. Nothing is easy and against all the odds their making it happen. Who wouldn't want an example in 💘 love and marriage that they are inspiring to.
Please let these people live. They have agreed as a Christian family to use the best example - the Bible - to raising their children & living their - not your - life!!
All I'm gonna say is Halle been saying she wants to play football but they made not effort in putting her in club they way they did for Heze....🤡🥴
Harper: "Raising a daughter is very hard. " She is so intelligent. I can't believe Harper is only 4 years old.
I think Harper has had to grow up a lot quicker because of Rue and Houston. She seems a lot quiter now the baby is here
She's taller
& she’s right
Great parenting advice. I also love how Tim and Ella show love to one another, whether its a look, a touch, hug, or kiss, it’s a beautiful thing to witness. Of course all that love and parenting skills you’ve developed over the years has created and molded such beautiful, goal oriented, GOD fearing, grounded, and independent children. Ms. Houston is growing up so fast and her personality is starting to show. Pulling herself up, trying to add her input into the conversation, and also showing she’s observing everything. Reu I look forward to seeing you in action on the next video lol. Blessings and love to you all!!
Hosanna's expression as her mum talks about her dad using endearments "my man" was simply priceless!! And then your self-reflection! It's the stuff of strong families!! Love you guys!!🥰🥰😘😘😘
The youngest son is dad twin. Even the oldest son and oldest daughter look little like him.
I think his oldest son is his twin. Look at them side by side. Really the 3 oldest and rue look alike like him.
If you look at Hezzies features closely you will see his moms mouth and eyes. He even forms his mouth in the s as me fashion. Rue favors his father. Halle favors Tim's sister Elle whom he finally met. I think beautiful Harper and Houston look like twins! Beautiful children.
Ella when your girls becomes adults....whose to say they will become house wives. They can become career wives. Husbands and wives can share the house work...Its not necessarily for just the wives to pull all the house work. Dont insteal that into them. We as women have choices as well.
Yess!!
She has never said they had to. Since ive been watching
@@annvaughn8974 Exactly, I have not heard her instilling that in the girls, Ella grew up in a household that her mom "gave" up here career to be a stay at home mom, her Dad went out and worked for the family. Replay the session people. Ella and Tim keep that structure for the children, you have instilled a lot of confidence in "all" your children. God has given YOU the "vision" for "your family" Nuh pay Dem nuh mine.
@@arudd2051 I've followed family since before birth of Rue, before that pregnancy. Ella's Mam and Dad's world changed once thay had her sister. Her Sister has Downs Syndrome. I believe that was why Ella's Mom gave up the career.
I agree.
There's some thing about Halle she seems kind of different from the other girls. Love watching you guys
I agree with you regarding Halle. She is different. I love them all but Halle is my fave!!
You're right I always thought this love them all but Halle she's has her own unique way
All siblings are different
It seems Halle feels like she squashed if she tries to show the extravagant personality she is. I think she feels it's dangerous to just be herself. I see her leaving home early.
I always thought so too!! Halle will be the rich diva Aunty at the family parties 😂 her personality is so Chick, it’s cute
TIM AND ELLA, YOU ARE DOING A AMAZING JOB RAISING YOUR CHILDREN. I LIKE THAT YOU HAVE FAMILY DISCUSSIONS AND LET THE CHILDREN EXPRESS THEMSELVES, THIS IS SO VERY IMPORTANT FOR SELF ESTEEM AS THEY GROW UP INTO ADULTHOOD. MAY GOD BLESSINGS, COURAGE AND STRENGTH CONTINUE TO BE WITH YOUR FAMILY ALWAYS. STAY SAFE. ☺ 🙏 🙏 🙏 💞 👍 👍
just had to come back and say the Grimwade family is what TH-cam has been missing, I honestly can't wait for the day when you get the recognition you deserve. I love the grimwade family so much
I hope the girls bloom into individuals with goals and dreams outside of motherhood and being a wife. I hope you all have ladies in your circle that the girls can see examples of what they can inspire to be. Since they love reading, maybe you can buy books of powerful women.
Amen!!! There is do much more to life than being barefoot and pregnant though children are a blessing f ru om God. I pray the girls reach for the stars and live out their purpose. And I hope their dad allows them to develop their own thoughts.
@@denisedean2446 preach Tim is actually more controlling than we realise and it hurts me because those little girls are so individually amazing and I know that they can do amazing things as long as they are not sucked into being good wives by their parents
Hopefully they can look up to Rochelle Humes she is a strong successful mixed woman who I know is close with their family because I worry the girls will lose their sense of self with the constant berating of qualities of a good housewife
@@lindasamba4816 I’m related to the Grimwades and Rochelle is actually our cousin 🙌🏾
There’s more to life than “being a good wife”
Not in their eyes. That is all that matters. They are living back in the 1700s.
What if they want a women not man like my 10 year grandauther told us she likes girls your got let them make thete minds up there. Self
She's a housewife and has 7 kids.... That is her life and she's doing a darn good job with it.
Amelia gray of course she is but you shouldn’t go into parenting expecting your kids to be a certain type of person
@@alishanicola6503 Every parent expects their kids to be a type of person , a good person or a bad (which I hope not). As a mother she is putting a structure into her kid's lives, teaching them discipline, with hobbies they may do and installing morals and values into them having a family isn't all about having cute kids and letting them be.
I’ve been here from the start, it’s been wonderful seeing your kids grow and excel into the beautiful and respectful children they are today 😘 Love you guys so much ❤️
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much for your loyal support ❤️❤️❤️
I absolutely love the kids, but I felt bad for Halle cause she is 6 and wanted to just read her book and poor lil Reu was waken from his nap😒 Hosanna said I thought this was adult talk. I agree. I was listening to Ella real good, but there were many distractions that I got lost in translation. I do not believe in going on any of these pages and giving my opinions and this is probably my first, but the one thing I loved about this family early on is the genuine spirit and it didn’t seem forced. Now....I am getting a weird vibe of a controlled atmosphere. 🙏🏽
Aletha Jacobs. Same here.
I agree , I feel like it’s too much for the kids , they have no chance to freely express themselves etc .
Wait wait wait... was Heze not ramping with Rue, and also not listening but only Halle got called out? Nah , that's not it Tim. The whole conversation seemed to be an indirect at Halle. Also.. Ella are you OK? You seem very stressed. Take an hour for yourself sometimes.
Yes, Ella seemed overwhelmed. I think they should all take a break from over exposure.
I watched that. Tim came at Halle but nobody else. Harper was in her book so she would not have to listen. And Heze was playing with Rue. The only one giving her full attention was Hosana. That was wrong for Tim to call out Halle. Does he ever correct his golden child Heze. Heze is even bossing around his mother telling her how to delegate chores.
yep ,Its about time viewers express their observations and opinions truthfully. They both ramble on endlessly at times , even adults lose interest. They ask for comments , well here are the comments.
Nevertheless still one of my favorite you tube family.
I also think it’s important to make sure the they know the difference in arrogance and pride...I would hate for the kids to not be able to accept failure ...it’s life
I could be wrong, but it looks as if Halle feelings may have been hurt or something because her whole energy changed and she appeared a bit withdrawn. I hope I am off base.
Halle's feelings were hurt because Tim checked her for not paying attention yet Harper was not paying attention either. Harper was absorbed in a book the whole time. And Heze was playing with Reu. And then when Halle tried to respond to a question Tim blew her off again. And then you can see where she folded her arms and completely disengaged with the family along with a sullen look.
Iman Ouazzani I agree with part of your opinion. However, you may remember from many videos both Ella and Tim say they are not perfect and make mistakes. Maybe this was one of them. If you are a parent, maybe you can relate.

Her feelings were initally hurt when Ella stated that she only said yes ma'am after Hosanna said it. Then Hosanna gave her a hug to sooth her little sister which was a really sweet gesture. I love that baby's heart for her family. But Halle is a free spirit. I pray that it is cultivated and she flourishes.
@@karenmcgee1869 Yess deffo a free spirit. I hope she continues to be like that because we dont want her to become withdrawn and only focused on behaving in accordance with her parents.
Only teaching the girls house work what about having a good career how about building a team with Tim giving you a help
They’re all under 10. I think they’ll get to that. Until then stop trying so hard to find the negatives💕
Linda Rushton has a point. Nothing negative in a spouse helping more or the girls wanting more.
Maria E Drake You guys are picking out little thinrgs. Yes its pretty negative. They’re doing fine , work on yourselves first
@@Ghettomoney Actually you're being negative. It is an observational perspective. We , Linda Rushton and I weren't picking anything apart but your dig about working on ourselves, making it personal is negativity that wasn't called for. I love the Grimwades. They are a beautiful family with amazing kids. But, no one's parenting is perfect and there will always be pros and con to anyone's parenting style. Doesn't make it wrong. And please don't project negativity onto my comment when it wasn't made with that intent.
@@Ghettomoney they're not picking out little things because it's clear in their videos thats what they teach when Ella was 9.months pregnant she was absolutely struggling to bend down and do all those house chores that needed to be done and I was just thinking where the hell is Tim and why isnt he doing the chores when Ella ckearly needs to rest it made me feel horrible Tim has taken this whole I am the leader and you are the helpmate business to another level God made everyone in his own image and treated everyone he met as his equal so what gives Tim the right to treat Ella like his lesser it's not fair
Thank you for addressing how you feel Ella. So many people, couples, men and women tend hold their emotions in and don’t communicate that with their partners and family. Having your children involved in conversation and also asking them how they individually feel is so important. No family is perfect but you are all an example of how to address something that may be hard for others to do. Blessings to you all. 💕❤️
I’ve been here from the start and it’s been wonderful watching the kids grow up into the beautiful and respectful children they are today 😘 Love you guys ❤️
OK.. First of all loved the video. But the whole conversation about the girls not relying on Heze for help when he makes it was a bit left for me. I didn't really understand the relevance of the point being made. Surely if you are investing into the girls as much as you are Heze then they will be equally as successful as him and so won't need to ever rely on Heze unnecessarily? Just a thought. Also side note: Halle is such a mood.
The girls will NOT be pretty women relying on their brother to care for them until their husbands arrive. That's what I interpreted.
Ella was a bit harsh to her girls, especially halle, thank god for hosanna such a kind sister I don't want you being sexist Iam not going to be here for all of this rubbish😕😕
@@morayooladipo8976almost all conflict is stemmed from misunderstanding. Perception is a big role and really effects how we understand things. Not everyone is going to see the same conclusion.
Have you tried putting the seasoning and flour in a large storage bag and then put the chicken in to coat it? When you take it out it will have all the coating you need depending on how long you let it stay in there! That's how I coat my fried chicken!
Lol..same..I put my seasoned chicken in the fridge overnight in a baggy...clean up is a breeze :)
@@hyacinthp4882 interesting.
Okay but can we just stand in awe of Heze and his football skills.
Heightsg4ace Holderby right?!
The guys are pretty cool you guys are your friends I like you guys so by Piece
So talented
I love the way you both take loving care of your babies and I love how open you are with them❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I hope you teach the boys how to do do laundry and cook to for when they live alone 🙄
Dont be so rude go be a hater somewhere else
@- Raising your sons to work and be providers vs raising them to be caregivers is very different than raising them to live in your basement until they are 40 and beyond.
Glowingover.
AMEN💯. Some great input. It's better to have and not need, than to need and not have. 🙂
They have made videos of the boys cooking and helping around the house so...yeah ❤️
Okay I was raised that not only the women in the house is to do all the house work n I understand ella she personally like doing it for her family but sometimes chores do get frustrating n u do need help. I noticed that she was starting to cook then went to ironing to go back to cook. Nothing is wrong with that but Tim could have iron while Ella cook but that's just my opinion based off what I see on camera dont know if its different off camera.
The passing the camera around to commentate slows down the process, they just need a tripod
Believe me, Halle WILL remember all those moments you unfairly called her out. she'll think back and remember that was unjust. I remember EVERYTHING. build her using who she is like you did with Heze. stop trying to erase her.
Good morning Grimwade family. Houston is so darn cute and growing so fast. By the way Tim, it's always nice seeing u interact with your children. Love to see father's in this light. Also ella, you are one of the strongest woman I've seen. You all truly inspire me. bless you all💙💛🧡💚💜💜💙💙💛
Ella and Tim you need to stop passing on the baby to the kids. The baby seem quite heavy and one of these days one of them is going to drop her, so be very careful. Love you guys. God bless
Unfortunately Black women often feel like and are conditioned to believe that they must do it all, and be strong. I enjoy watching your videos. Thanks for sharing. With that said, Ella you need HELP around the house. You husband/spouse/partner can also cook and be more involved in the daily activities, other than just carrying the camera around. It takes two to make a child, his contribution is not only to be the financial provider. Quite frankly if anything you all make the money. Again, I enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing. And please please please ASK FOR HELP. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DO IT ALL. YOUR SPOUSE NEEDS TO HELP AROUND THE HOUSE!
Ana's DaringAdventures I understand what you're saying. But here's the thing though: as a tiny TH-camr myself, I can tell you that deciding on topics, recording (especially all these shot angles), adding music, and other creative work takes a lot of time! Plus they do DAILY vlogs to their growing subscriber base. Tim is also likely doing a lot of things in the background to grow the family channel, get sponsors and all of that. So, it may look like all he's doing is holding a camera, but that man is putting in more than an 8-hour day, every single day! Also he's deeply involved in parenting their children. Husbands and wives all have different roles in the home. As long as each one does their role well to the glory of Christ and the good of their home and community, then it's all good. God bless. 🙏🏾❤️🇯🇲
I love when you and Tim share your day and your parenting style. You are helping so many parents. You are both so authentic and that's what I love most about you. I don't have children but I love them.so I enjoy watching your family grow under the umbrella of the Lord and your love. As far as the day to day, I don't keep everything in order (my house) or my day doesn't go as planned and I don't have 6 kids. God bless you, it's just not possible to get it all done sometimes. I think God is pleased that you are raising your kids to love HIm and he will bless you with the rest.
Tim said ..."It's just black or white.....You do well you get praised... you don't do well you get corrected, constructive criticism." This comment is very telling about the family dynamic. While the family on the surface seems quiet nice... the dominant theme in this Family is doing well to PLEASE Mom and Dad.
The children esp the girls, self-worth is built around pleasing Mom and Dad. Hence when Halle felt wounded when Dad teased her and then Mom went on to make what was a passive-ag comment about her thinking "butter dosen't melt in her mouth." The wounding continued even though Halle tried to recover by contributing to conversation while they sat on the couch, only to be told she was not paying attention and then that she was wrong and had missed the point. WOW.
Children raised this way often become emotionally one dimensional and often operate from a place where they are always trying to PLEASE people in order to be liked or accepted.
One of the greatest gifts a parent can give a child is knowing they are loved and accepted simply because they are your child. A child's self value should not be built on whether they please their parents by doing what they are told, or saying what they are told to say. Building a childs internal self confidence comes as they know they are loved and accepted not just because they are obedient. You have value because you are MY child, whether you are ordinary or a child protege..you still have value to me.
Performance based, parent pleasing; parenting leads to anxiety, low self-esteem, fear of failure and later on resentment
That's not to say, you can't have goals and for your kids, but their value to you and in their own minds should not be based on that outcome... if you do well you get praised.
In the real world which they will have to enter at some point "Do as your told to do and say as your told to say," and the outcome will always be positive? No... that is just not the case in today's reality. They will need a greater internal strength, and be able to be independent thinkers beyond just pleasing others to navigate today's world where things are NOT just black or white.
Eventually the children will be able to do more around the house. My children started ironing clothes around 11,cooking full meals at 15 washing dishes at 12 , washing clothes etc..
Please make sure your sons are also doing these things, because it's for their own good .
They may one day be someone 's husband and Dad.
This is also valuable if they are single and living on their own.
Ouu Chile not the whole preparing the girls for a husband thing 😅
I so love your family. The virtues you've instilled and keep teaching them comes to bare in each of your videos. Bless up. Much love from🇬🇭❤❤❤
I love Hezekiah's haircut and hair style
Hally a de best I love her I keep saying something in television in her future she is a natural truss mi. Love the little scene there.
I agree. Hailey is an actress in the making.
Halle was literally sitting there listening to what they said and Tim goes 'Halle.. you're not listening'
Listening to what anyway? It's not every video that you have to preach, let them go and play like kids man!
for real!!!!!
SAR7 they do three videos a week for 20 to 30 minutes I don’t think that that warrants them not playing I believe they played enough
SAR7: YOU TOOK THE WORDS RIGHT OUT OF MY MOUTH!!!!! I thank you! Peace
These videos don’t show their every single waking moment, for goodness’ sake 🙄 My parents used to “preach” to us several times a week, too. My sisters and I still got to play and be kids
I love this family and how you teach them and prepare them for their future but I just wish you would give the girls the same appreciation and support with their acro/gymnastics, dancing and football that you do with Heze and his football😌
Yes because Halle has BEEN saying she wants to play football but they refuse to find her a club to play but for Heze they do everything for his football
The moment Tim called Halle “big head” her whole mood change, She know that’s gonna go on TH-cam for the world to see and looked upset. And mum needs a break.
Yes, that was embarrassing for her. I felt that.
@@robbiehorner8714 It was embarrassing and then why include that in the video.
Anything for views I guess 🤦♀️ and can the girls not have dreams and aspirations beyond cooking, washing and cleaning? Halle has said many times she wants to play football and is never allowed because she’s a girl - she could be better than Heze for all they know but they’re so obsessed with outdated gender roles.
@@DJLioness omds thank you I thought I was the only one that remember that Halle been talking about playing football for about 2 years or so now and in that video when she proper decided she wanted to do it her parents say their and knocked her dreams because she a girl when like you said she could end up better than Hez with the right training my heart aches for her and the rest of the girls and it's worse because they are homeschooling so they don't interact with other like that to see a world beyond the one their parents are painting for them I just want to take them all and show them everything everything they experience everything they can achieve as strong women and when the right man comes along they can enter into a marriage where they are treated as equals rather than as helpmates
Curious, do you have an expectation that the boys will learn to cook, clean, iron, wash etc? Or is it your belief that should be the role of the girls? Blessings
I was wondering the same thing
Only the girls. If you watched their videos they have very traditional roles.
@@carolinerheaa1504 sorry I'm confused. Hope they clarify this point because a lot of people are asking if the boys will be asked to do their fair share of housework or it will only be the duty of the girls.
The boys do help around in the house...check older videos
How did you know we needed this! I had this exact conversation with my son today. I broke down today to the weight of being a single parent raising a boy, as a mother! Plus, having to deal with my being my ownself, which I literally haven’t been for especially the last ten years of putting my child’s needs and heath and happiness first. Trying to destabilize society’s expectation that he will be a “statistic”: black, raised by a single mother in America. I’ve put my career in hold and my geographical comfort, as well. Doing the bare minimal of survival. Yes, self-reflection is important. Sometimes, I feel like I become bitter or being selfless. But I know I have a life to raise, give, and mentor
DD sounds like you are a caring Mother trying to do right for her son and self. God bless you and your son. Keep trusting in Jesus for direction and His peace.
The three girls dressing alike ALL the time is too cute. Enjoy it because they will break-out in their own style before you know it.
Baltimore, Maryland/USA
I feel like only heze has a fully defined sense of self. The girls have less of a sense of their individual talents passions and life dreams/goals. The girls definitely focus on being pretty and pleasant, groomed for wifehood and parenthood. I also feel like heze and hosanna are the favorites and greater versions of their parents. Hosanna the great wife and mother and pure person, heze the excellence driven pro athlete family man with good values and wisdom. I feel like rue is the more reckless and charming aspects of Tim.
Those girls are always practicing their gymnastics and dance. They are growing in their skills. That comes from practice.
This family, I will say, are a breath of fresh air to me. I look at the vlogs over and over again 💗 and Houston is stinking adorable. May god bless this family always and keep them safe... Big up to Tim and Ella, the best parents to these so mannered and beautiful children...love you guys....💜💙💛💗 🇯🇲 🇹🇹
Love this family but sometimes in my opinion it’s a bit much. Yes, we have to prepare our children to be successful women and men but this ‘providing and assisting men is our role as women’ 🙃 let’s not teach these young girls that they can’t be prime minister. Sometimes just let them play, be young and free until it’s time. Sometimes let adult conversations be adult conversation too, It’s nice you’re able to have honest and raw conversations with the girls but ‘you’ve gotta do your thing till your husband comes and whisks you away’ no girls. Always do your own thing, always do you. Always choose you and be able to provide for yourself. Have dreams an aspirations outside of men 🙏🏿 I know there’s more girls than boys and Heze is special and hardworking but his dreams don’t take priority over the girls. P.S love Halle 🥰
I couldn't have said it better! Thanks. As much as I love The Grimwades, I was so amazed at their maturity and discipline but I just realized that they are extremely serious to be so young. Heze I believe is 11 but speaks like he's much older. Matter of fact, all of them do. When asked questions by Tim or Ella most times their response is far wiser than their age.
Christine Hamilton heze is 10
There’s actually more boys born, it’s only elderly women who outnumber the men
Sorry if I haven't got to that point yet but are you going to teach your boys to cook and clean too?
For few years Heze is gonna be playing for some big club,like I fully believe he can get to that,there are no doubts❤
Just a perspective and I don’t mean any disrespect. I think it’s beautiful that you’re raising your children with Christian morals and values, but sometimes that can suppress children’s free spirit, which is often problematic as they grow and experience life. It sometimes comes across as though they’re scared to be their authentic child-like selves because they all want to be the perfect, golden children to not upset their parents. That can be very detrimental especially as they’re growing up, because children feel as though they can’t make mistakes and if they do, they’ll be condemned for doing so, which in turn breeds rebellious children. You see this often with children who are a product of religious families. Also, we’re living in a new age. Men providing, whilst women are housewives is so outdated. God forbid, if something were to happen to Ella, Tim would need to know how to be domesticated as well and visa versa. It’s not about being a good wife, it’s about having basic life skills, which isn’t just for women to possess. I love you guys and your family, but I must say this video was quite difficult to watch for various reasons.
Chelsea Christianity is freedom. Not buts.
mona Laster I didn’t say it wasn’t.
Ella said learn and accomplish more. It’s good to have a foundation in knowing how to care for yourself.
If Ella died, the girls would take care of their father and brothers 😂
In response as to a comment I saw...I have seen Heze help out too. I was just going to say that it is good for him to learn how to cook, clean & do domestic duties because he will likely be a single man for at least a little time & he’ll need to know how to do all that. Good lessons for boys too. 🙏🏽💪🏽💙
Why can’t he learn to do it for his wife?
J W he can! I was just saying for whatever adult time he is single he’ll know how to take care of himself.
“As a way to survive a hostile emotional environment of their families , many little girls learn to suppress their individuality to soothe the parent “ poor Halle 🥱
So True, not just Halle, but especially Harper. Harper has learned to totally suppress her individuality. If you go back to early videos before the arrival of Rue, Harper was so bright, bubbly and mostly very outspoken. But she has been pressed down and learned to suppress her personality and is often told not to interrupt.
Repeatedly when she attempts to interject she has been told to wait even after she raises her hand. You can see this progression overtime, with Harper where to the point in many videos she is off by herself until she is called to join in. In an effort to be heard she now often raises her hand in order to get a turn to speak and to be heard.
Also if you've watched for awhile you will notice a distinct change in Ellas tone when she speaks to Harper, its very strident. Tim to his credit uses a gentle tone with Harps even though he may tell her to wait, BUT so many times after telling Harps after she has raised her hand to wait; he never returns to her.
Yet both Tim and Ella let little Rue just speak, interrupt others and jump in whenever he wants. And yes he is cute, and still very young, but even at that age he needs to understand that he can't get attention and demand attention whenever wants, They've set very few boundaries for Rue when they are recording videos, and you can see this as when Rue is acting up, none of the girls attempt to discipline him. You will see that the girsl will just look at Mom or Dad waiting to see if they are going to say something to him.
Children know the deal whether parents realize it or not, they are sending clear messages about pecking order and children internalize this and ultimately it does impact them in the long term.
TheDivineNature I definitely agree , they have so many kids in my opinion it’s selfish . They can’t have time in their own with there mum an dad and don’t have time to develop that close relationship to them . Harper is still a little baby , yet she is treated so much older . It’s sad really :(
u
Halle has such a sassy personality and I love it. Y’all are such an amazing family. I love y’all ❤️
halle really has got some muscles wow
Ella seems overwhelmed. You keep rubbing the middle of your head. You are a great mom of six children and you always have them looking so cute. A mother's job is never done. Your children are going to be fine. The first seven years are formative and they are so intelligent and well mannered. Houston is getting so big. Harper is so studious.
Houston is really talkative.🥰Love Halle's personality. I really think their is a hidden actress within her. Hopefully her flair will not be subdued and she will blossom with confidence.
Why doesnt Tim help you? You seem to do everything while Tim just gives his opinion and tells everyone to reach for perfection. Why is Tim so stern with Halle? 🤔Seeing her sitting on the sofa with her hands clenched and looking uptight is a sign of being uneasy. Your children are decent and well behaved. I hope they know it's okay if they fail because we learn from our failures. Even Muhammad Ali lost a few fights.
Hey Denise, remember that Tim's usually behind the camera, so it may seem as though he's not doing much. However, I remember in another video, Ella told us about how Tim is helpful but she just prefers to keep busy 🙂
@@geovannalewin-rowe6608 The bottom line is that Time rarely does anything but edit videos and play video games. He throws all the work on Ella and the girls. And Ella is looking worrn out. And I did not like the way he came at Halle. Kind of a bully move.
Iman Ouazzani and how would you possibly know that? Be kind!
@@carolinerheaa1504 remember that we only get a snippet of their lives and Ella seems more than capable to stand up for herself if she feels uncomfortable. At what point did Tim 'come for' Halle.
Geovanna Lewin-Rowe honestly?! These people are trying to say a father telling his daughter to sit up and pay attention is the worst thing in the world. Go focus on real world problems. Donate some money to Yemen, sign blm petitions. Find something to do 🙄
I would advise the Grimwade family to look over this video to improve their parenting skills. You targeted Halle for not paying attention not sitting up straight, when Harper had her head struck in a book the whole time.
I had a version of this talk with my little grands the other day, I am Social Worker with a university degree and employed and I raised two children who are contributing positively to the world. It is not easy being a parent but worth it. Children do grow up and follow their God lead paths in life ultimately and prayerfully. I think a good foundation of being able to be yourself, share your feelings and love God, oneself and others is a good thing. My grown son and daughter can cook, do laundry and manage their careers and homes accordingly. Good job to the two of you for keeping the communication open and inclusive as your children are listening and watching. Blessings! Loving all the faces today, Houston's cheeks though!
Ella you ok?you didn't seem yourself hope your ok?you guys are a lovely family I love watching you guys you just cheer me up all the time.
Heze I pray for him to be picked up by a team nobody trains harder than Heze and now he's inspired Rue to do his thing it's brilliant.xx
Do you think she knows she pregnant again and hasn't announced. She may be feeling some kind of way because of the morning sickness she says she doesn't like dealing with.. I noticed the same thing early also; I also felt she was feeling overwhelmed thinking she doesn't have enough time to do things etc., I think it was bad day but something was definitely different from the onset.
Is it fair that Ella is putting so much worry into the girls learning domestic traits..and yet The boys are being inspired to achieve outwardly into the world..it’s 2020 I don’t like these gendered roles..”they will learn to follow the lead” -Ella Grimwade ( about her 4 daughters) smh Halle is cheeky and wise she’s not buying it one bit lol
Halle is going to break the mold.
@@carolinerheaa1504 I think this. Halle has definitely clocked that there's a little injustice in the family, especially with their responses in previous vids to her wanting to be a footballer. I hope she eventually realises she can do anything she wants and doesn't need to serve men to be respected!
Tim was saying that he wants them to be more than a pretty face and I think that’s what he was referring to, that they aren’t just going to grow up and be house wives they can also grow up and follow their dreams and do whatever makes them happy
@@Sholahrwiz Whilst I get that what is seen on camera kinda seems like they have to be knowledgeable in traditionally female things. But this could deffo not be the case off camera
Where have some of you people been under a rock, they're not perfect parents and state that over and ov er again, you see and hear what you want, I'm not new to this channel, I'm glad I learned these things, I can cook. Clean, mend. Take care of cuts and scrapes before infections set in, yes that's right infections. I know how to iron or steam my clothes. you should look presentable when going out, especiallywhen interviews come up. , so there's nothing wrong with them learning these things. Just my opinion too much negative comments today. If you don't like it, dont watch. So many channels to watch.
Halle is so unique i see her being successful sending LOVE from namibia
Tim and Ella, I really enjoyed the video but I think sometimes that you have a tendency to speak to the kids like their already young adults. That was really a long discussion for them to pay close attention to and some of the topics I think was maybe to advance for Hosanna. You are by far the best family on youtube and you guys are excellent parents but please remember to allow the children to simply be children and to enjoy where they are right now. I know you want them to be the best at whatever they do but the constant training can be sometimes too much. This is the first time that I noticed how serious they are. I love your family and wish you guys the best. Your family is the light of my life and I hope I'm not offending you guys with my constructive criticism.
@aimee glatt You don't see uniqueness? I wasn't a homeschooled child, but children in large families develop their uniqueness and willingness to stand out. Some are leaders, some are following the lead. The leadership isn't always the one who talks the most. Sometimes the most intelligent is the quiet observer. Understand they are in quarantine. I'm not sure where you live, but where I live the people who take this seriously, are not entertaining outside houseguests. Now, the Grimwades have been around for years, I encourage you to dig through their videos and watch the ones where they have company. They have play dates. But guess what? Not everyone wants to be filmed for the pleasure of youtube viewers, therefore, we shouldn't make gross assumptions. Just like we are here on youtube, some people I know don't even had social media accounts. There's a world that exists outside of social media, and the people like it that way.
Houston is growing soo fast and she looks very tall... beautiful family ❤️❤️❤️
We as parents have the responsibility (I believe) of raising our children to be good Christians & that is done by leading by example! Being a parent (esp single parents) is one of the hardest jobs on earth! We guild them & help them in their decision of what career paths they will take. Each child is an individual, so it's more than likely, each child will choose a different career path/journey. Some parents who have/had their own dreams not fulfilled, try and impose their dreams on their children. This is the worst mistake, one can make. Teaching our daughters that they are beautiful strong women, independent, & career oriented means they don't have to get married or need a man to support them! The same advice applies to our sons. Love is 'Unconditional '! Happy Thursday!🤗
From what you’ve posted online, you are doing so well raising your kids and I love these open talks you’re having with them. I’m a new subby and only watched a couple of videos so I could be very wrong... I feel maybe you could start including the boys in the general housework too, like being in the kitchen. While at university, I saw a lot of guys struggling to do normal house duties so it sparked the thought for me. You may be doing this already and I don’t mean to impose any parental claims (I’m not a parent and well aware🙈😅). Just a thought that crossed my mind during this video as I just watched the one where you made breakfast at the table with the girls helping to make the fruit salad and Heze helped to lay out the plates.
Girl i had a dude ask me if I could help him load and start his washing machine i complete stranger!. I was like its self explanatory im not your mom ! He was so surprised but he had to be checked . Should be ashamed how did u get to 18 and have no idea how to do such a task and not that he asked for help he asked me to do it for him
As a mother I feel the same pressure many times. That shows how much we care. Remember put God first and to sow in them seeds that will reap fruit for the glory of God. That comes before all the rushing and craziness that happens every day.
Boys need to learn how to cook and clean. I have brothers in their 70s and 60s they know how to cook and clean because their wives worked outside the house. My brother's cook better than their wives. The days are long gone when women are in the kitchen by themselves. It takes both parents especially today most women are bringing home more money than their husband. I have a nephew who is 14 he knows how to cook and do boys chores. And he plays 3 difference sports wood he's outstanding in soccer and track and field lol.
I'm in my middle 60s I used to own a daycare for kids age of infancy to 12 and my husband was a football coach. And he cooked and cleaned.
Sometimes I would love to see you behind the camera and Tim in the kitchen.
I'm quite sure there are days you are totally wiped out, you're only human.😍
What work for you guys might not work for your children once they become adults.
Love you Grimwade family. You deserve an award for raising well behaved and well mannered children!!
I vote y’all to be the First Family‼️ Any plans to move to the US⁉️ 😂🤣💯 SO much this world needs‼️ Thank you for being a blessing to SO many and may God continue to bless you all‼️💗
My Mommy passed away in April 2020 Her name is Ella Ree Smith and she was an exceptional Mom like you! She would have been 100 yrs old July 1 and you remind me of her!! You are a caring, loving Mother but still you are a disciplinarian when need be!!!💖 Not leaving your handsome Husband out because you two truly show how the teamwork makes the dream work!! Love you guys and your family!! May GOD Continue to Bless you and shower down Blessings Upon the entire Family!!😍😘😍 I still believe Houston will look like Hallelujah Rose when she loses her baby fat and she slims down!!!! 😁😁
I was totally Halle as a child lol! My parents had to keep me very busy because I was a quick little thing, in the long run though that energy turns into world leaders, she and all the kids will go beyond far! ❤️
Your actually right, yet you have 6 children and anyone how has children know this the most challenging job ever. Personally as a senior who has made many decisions raising my children and others, some better than others. I feel from what I’ve observed Ella you do an amazing job raising, molding and educating your children. Kudos to you both!👌🏽👍🏽
Halle looked so upset ! 🥺❤️
Hi Fam! In The States we have a saying..." If you want to make God laugh, make plans for your day". God will direct your paths so it doesn't matter what chores you don't finish or what things you don't get to do with your kids. God will bless you with another day to laugh, love and share with your family.
I love you so much, Grimwade Family. ❤️
Be blessed and keep well. 🙏🏾
Oh my goodness! Heze!!!!!! So freakin mature and such an intellect!!!! Love him!!! And I hope you all continue to vlog for years to come! I can't wait to see how Hosana developes into a young lady, wife and mother! Halle is such a leader! Harper is a bookworm and Hez is such an adventurer!! I'm curious to see how Houston's personality will be like once she's talking 😊
The tasks that Ella performs are not menial. They are important and should be elevated when described because words are influential to thoughts and actions. Without the performance of those tasks the family could not eat, be groomed properly or live in a civilized manner. I think a more appropriate word is routine.
I agree Angela. These kids are blessings we get to see, that must mean they are doing something right by these children. These kids are learning the value of homeschooling and in this day, her children are ahead of the curve, while other parents are struggling to take quarantine school seriously and finding a way to get these kids away from them as fast as possible.
Hey lovelies...Ella honey, I must say you do appear stressed, you don’t have to do it all on your own. I know your children help you out, but hun it’s also lovely when the help mate helps you. I know we only see a short snippet of your life but you clearly need to take a day out for yourself. I don’t think you have ever failed your children, you are an exceptional mother and trust me your children are seeing this. But my dear take a break and and allow Tim to cook a meal or just general stuff that you’ll always do. From one married woman to the next. God bless you all 🤗🤗
