Same! I really would like to see more of him, maybe he can talk more about his work with children with learning disabilities? Such an interesting topic and it's really refreshing to see a man working in education and being just lovely all around!
Your dad saying "they, he, or she" without any hesitation almost made me cry! I don't get to see a lot of older generations being accepting of gender neutral language so as a nonbinary person it really warms my heart :)
I think you are a great example of how much our upbringing/parents influence how we turn out as adults. Both of your parents seem very positive and open-minded, and so are you.🙂
Which is not the norm. I too have a great dad but not every child has a good dad. Is rare that a dad is present and loving and caring. It really goes to show the men have the bar too low.
Yasss Hannah’s Dad!! Love all the inclusive language at the end! 💛 I am big on using ‘parents and carers’ & I wish we used this gender neutral term (parent) more in everyday language to include all families and folks. Thanks for sharing this lovely video and thoughts! 😊
As they say, not everyone has that word. In Spanish we don’t have that. It is fathers in plural. That’s it. We have most of the language gendered so people don’t want and can’t have a gender neutral language
What on earth is wrong with you woke weird people. There are men and there are women, get used to it or go see a doctor and get some medication to sort your head out
Your dad is the best! I particularly loved his comments about how important it was for him (and for your mum) for you and your sister to be/ feel Jewish, especially when considering the importance of maintaining a Jewish identity and that link to your family history. Great interview 💜
I love your dad as a person and as a parent! I can see both of them in you! If we all had parents like that, therapists would have less jobs 😂 Fucking lovely!! Love from Spain! Xxxx
Goodness this gives me hope. My dad was an older dad by the standards of the time (he was 35 when I was born back in 89) but was super involved. I grew up thinking it was very normal for parents to split the cleaning, both be involved with kids etc. The real world was a harsh surprise 😂
Omg same! I grew up with a mum who was a high up manager for a very corporate business in central London, and a stay at home dad. I remember being in an ethics class for GCSE and my teacher saying that most women stay home to look after the children in a one income household and I was truly mindblown. Couldn't believe it.
Yeah, damn those men taking 12 hour shifts at the factory and coming home thinking they should be able to sit down, don't they get that the household labors must be split? Oh, but not the yard work, they can do that by themselves.
@@ag9953 That’s utterly brilliant in its idiocy. Thanks for starting my Sunday with a giggle. The irony is my dad actually owes and runs a factory. The shocking plot twist my mum owns and runs it with him. Happily married for almost 35 years. Real adults share the load. When one is working extra the other one picks up more at home and vice versus. The big issue here is men a) not recognising that women also work, and b) refusing to recognise the sheer amount of work that looking after a kid is, despite apparently being too exhausted to contribute themselves. Have a nice life :)
@@danielleeadie7124 Oh, so you lived in an extremely exceptional circumstance in which both your parents did the same job for a living and it wasn't a particularly taxing job due to it being administrative in nature, I guess that means AAAAAALL families are the same and families in which the man is the primary or only bread winner are totes a myth and not the general rule. See, this is the problem with you lot, you make the personal general and take the general personally, it's great that you had a life like that, most people don't, so do something you're really fond of asking from others and check your privilege, rich girl.
@@ag9953 Lord I never said any of that and I don’t speak for ‘you lot’, just myself. You seem so angry. I didn’t realise that you were the arbitrator of what counts as ‘hard work’. My apologies. I’ll let all the women in the nursing and care sector know that their jobs are not so physically demanding after all… I am of course being entirely facetious intentionally. You’re initial comment made an assumption about men needing rest after a long hard day at work, I was merely using one personal example to show that many women also come home from long difficult days, in fact most families in the UK (where I’m from) have two working parents, not sure why you’re so incensed by that.. As far as calling me rich. Lol how childish. It’s probably not untrue now given the dismal situation in the UK currently. In fact both my parents are working class and worked in factories most of my young life. The ownership came when I was older. I was the first to go to uni and fully aware that much of my privilege comes from sheer luck and good fortune, as it does for most people. I am glad I received enough of an education to learn that both men and women work, so there is that. This will be my last response :)
Worst thing for me when I was out with my kids was the assumption that I had them for the weekend. I was a single father since before they were teenagers, so NO, I WASN'T LOOKING AFTER THEM PART TIME!
Only in English you can have that. In Spanish we don’t have any neutral gender words. And most people don’t like the new word the community have invented to get that gender neutral. Because it really sounds bad. So most people still used gender neutral words
When you posted on instagram that you were interviewing your dad who had "controversial opinions" I was really emotionally prepared to be triggered or frustrated by this video. Needless to say I was overwhelmingly relieved and happy to see such a progressive and equality driven perspective on parenting! especially from the previous generation. Wonderful video!
really cool to meet your dad and hearing his experiences! i am also really curious about how men are experiencing birth and post partum, so if Dan ever wanted to speak about that that would be super interesting too! there is not a lot of content like that yet!
I had a male childminder and I always felt pleased to challenge that assumption… for example I would say “B really loves going to the childminder” and they would reply “what is she like with them?” And I’d correct them. We were really pleased to let her experience care from both genders. Unfortunately those biases still made their way through, she thought only men could use laptops (despite seeing me work on my laptop) and only men could be a boss (even though I’m a line manager).
Lovely! So interesting to hear his perspective. And how disappointing (but not surprising) that your mom's employer tried to deny her legal maternity leave. Same thing happened to my mum in the 90s in Switzerland. She fought it and won, but that story still makes me very sad.
I love seeing how you and your parents listen to one another and have such an easygoing conversational style! It's also so refreshing to hear a cis man taking an active role is dismantling the gendered scripts of parenting. I personally feel super uncomfortable whenever I come across cis-het men who say things like, "I'M having a baby," because it feels very much like a manifestation of the fathering vs. mothering dynamic your dad mentioned: Centering themselves by claiming procreative credit without any additional responsibility to care for and nurture their child and partner. Not to mention coopting their partner's lived reality of pregnancy and postpartum without experiencing any of its ramifications themselves. If any of the "I'm having a baby" dudes I regularly come across were to instead say, "I'm becoming a parent," I'd be SUCH a fan.
Really good to see. It's funny - my grandfather, born in 1910, was very much hands-on when I was very young. Not 'modern' in many senses of the word, but completely believed that being a parent, or a grandparent, should be there for the child, and dismissed notions of being amazing for caring for a baby/toddler. I think it was a conscious decision, though, having been badly scarred mentally and physically by WWII. He wanted to make the world a better place for his family. Both your parents seem lovely.
Where we live all the classes/activities are called “Baby & Me” or “Toddler & Me” … I was recently reading something about “Mommy & Me” activities when I realized no one here calls them that.
I so agree with the last point your dad made. I grew up in a single parent household (my mum), with sisters, and even my grand-dad had been ill and died early in my childhood. I was 8 when I had a male teacher for the first time and I remember being terrified about it. We found out who our teacher would be for the next year in the last week of school so it sat with me all summer holidays. The teacher was of course excellent and I had a great school year but that fear was a major memory for me - up until then the adults in my life were more or less 100% female except for the Dr or Dentist who I might see once or twice a year.
Your dads comment about parenting boys is really interesting. My eldest is a girl and youngest a boy. The boy is louder and more physical and more stereotypically a boy but whenever I speak to people with 2 children of the same sex they tend to say no 2 is louder and more physical and we know that birth order effects personality and experience. I think it is all really interesting the things that effect the child.
This is so true! I'm the second out of two girls (at least growing up we're both outside the gender binary now), and I was way more active and loud compared to them. I will say I am AuDHD so that had something to do with it, but looking back at other kids I knew were like this as well.
I love that Hannah's dad calls her mum, mum. It sort of has a comforting vibe. Like if Hannah was my dad talking to me. I'm going through a major rough spot rn and this is delightful for me.
i wish more people understood that wisdom and experience are two different things. so many people think they can talk over others and get fussy when their advice isn't wanted or used, when in reality their experience is from completely different circumstances and not applicable to everyone else
Realised I never watched these videos with your parents when they came out a year ago and so wish I'd watched them sooner. SO wholesome. Also, when I watched the video with your mum, I was like... Wow, Hannah really looks like her mum. But when I watched this video, I was like... Wow, Hannah really looks like her dad. And now my brain hurts trying to figure out how you somehow look identical to both your parents!
Seeing your mom and dad like this, one can ony assume why they raised you so wonderfully! they look so good too! you are very lucky to have them with you! i can only hope to build a home like your parents did! so cute and noble, great video, great to know you guys!
I don't have parents anymore (and I'm glad because they were literally horrible people who did a lot of horrible things to me) and when I see this, I really really would love to have your dad as a dad. It amazes me how amazing parents can be (of course I know there is always something wrong and stuff) but it still amazes me how amazing it is to have parents who like and love you. Who are there for you, who are happy for you. That's something I've never experienced in my life and I miss that so much. What a wonderfull video Hannah!! Love, Demi
Seeing both of your parents is so beautiful, heart-warming and bittersweet. I genuinely am finding these so lovely and yearning for the parental experience I dreamt of. Glad they are so supportive and kind
in german there is also a gender-neutral term for parents: "Eltern" and moms, dads and everyone in between these poles are "Elternteile", which literally means parental parts, so two people who share being parents 🙂
I love your conversations with both your parents in this series Hannah! Their perspectives are sooooo interesting and its so lovely to see your relationship with your parents and them talk about being grandparents
This was such a brilliant video. Your dad is such a kind and brilliant soul. His thoughts and comments around gender and parenting bring me a lot of hope :)
In German we also have the word "parents" = "Eltern" but you can only use it in plural. You don't say "he is a good parent". HE has to be a good father/dad = Vater/Papa and SHE has to be - grammatically - a good mother/mom = Mutter/Mama, but you have the "Elternteil" = parenting-part :D but it sounds very formal
I would say that is not particularly true. There is this Wort "Elter". It's not really used that much, but it exists. And at the end that's the fun part about words and language. They change with customs and how we use them.
Your dad seems really cool! Nice to have him on the channel :) The mothering/fathering discrepancy is so interesting, I've never thought about that before. I'm a language nerd so it's also really interesting to think about how the word for parents is gendered in some languages and not others. In Spanish it's 'padres' which is literally 'fathers', whereas in French it's 'parents' so same as English. I wonder if they could find a new, gender neutral word in Spanish as I know they're looking at ways to make language less gendered in general.
@@ZairaBandy no! We must! There's Xadres. The prounounciation isn't the worst for that one. "Progenitores" also works but is really formal. "Figura parental". Tambien he leido que usan "adre"/"adres". "Estes son mis adres". "Elle es mi adre". "Les adres". "Como estan tus adres?" No sé jaja.
in Brazilian Portuguese there really isn't a neutral word like parents, but we've begun to address parents as "caretakers" (loosely translated), not only in order to be gender neutral, but also because of the huge amount of grandparents who end up taking an active role in their grandchildren's lives due to culture and social issues
It's really nice hearing a man, and more so, a dad, talking about all of that. There are good men out there ! So thank you for making this video and thank you to your dad for taking the time.
I loved this! I haven't watched the one with your mum so I have nothing to compare it to but it was so lovely to hear you two reflect on parenting together.
Hannah thank you so much for this! I just wrote down all the questions, so I could talk to my parents about all these topics. It was sooooo interesting to watch you and your dad dynamic thruogh the video!!! p.s. my son was born at the end of June 2022 btw ;)))
Loved getting to see your Dad! Really enjoyed hearing his perspective, and you are so fortunate to have two wonderful parents! Hope he's on again in the future! :)
Let this be a start ❤ he seems like a lovely person! The scandinavian (norse) languages have a gender neutral terms for parents. We have play on words that sounds similar to mother and father too. My dad would always play around with it. Mom is mor and dad is far. We have the word morsomt, which means ‘funny’ and we have the word farligt, which means dangerous. He would extend the login, so there must be something that’s farsomt and something that’s morligt (both are nonsense words).
The commenting on "good dads" in public happens to us all the time. We have a very even division of labor and my husband is more physical because of my disabilities. When we went to disneyland in the fall and were ordering food at a counter service place and our kid needed the bathroom, he automatically did it because it's harder on my body and the amount of gasps and cis women swooning over him was epic! It was like the whole restaurant went silent and it almost made me feel guilty? Like I then got the "does she even deserve him?" looks next which was new for me. Loving this chat!
I love that he was just like, "So obviously it's my turn now." and then just came on and was like, "Hi. I know how to do this. I'm a youtuber." lol he's talking like he's interviewed on tv every tuesday. Brilliant man.
Interesting hearing your paternal grandfather was 48 when your dad was born was a bit comforting for me bc that’s how old my husband is and we’re TTC in June 2023
A tip about doing the angels thing with kids who are not or don't feel ready or whatever. You put them on top of from ankles to knees part instead of footsoles to belly. With that position you can do a lot of the similar feeling things like going up and down and little to the side etc. with more control and feeling of safety for both parties. There is also very nice pair acrobatics kind of things you can do with a child that has a solid grasp standing up you can do from adult on their back on the floor position. I learned that from going the parent-child circus group with my kids.
I really enjoyed this video, especially as somebody who has never had a dad. I think you would both really enjoy episode 145 of the Allusionist podcast, 'Parents'. It goes into detail about the history and use of gender-neutral terms for parents and caregivers, with a focus on the experience of trans parents. Would love to see more of James on the channel in future!
Welp, can’t get enough of him. 10 out of 10, total delight. First appearance but hopefully not the last?
Same! I really would like to see more of him, maybe he can talk more about his work with children with learning disabilities? Such an interesting topic and it's really refreshing to see a man working in education and being just lovely all around!
Hannah, your parents are so lovely. What amazing role models you've had! Xx
I am so lucky 💛

Oh your dad seems just as great as your mum. Loved this video. You should do a video with them both!
No wonder you turned out so well-adjusted and confident with those two amazing humans as your parents!
I think you are a great example of how much our upbringing/parents influence how we turn out as adults. Both of your parents seem very positive and open-minded, and so are you.🙂

Exactly. My parents are nothing like Hannah's. But I'm happy for her and all the people who experience a decent upbringing.
Yasss Hannah’s Dad!! Love all the inclusive language at the end! 💛 I am big on using ‘parents and carers’ & I wish we used this gender neutral term (parent) more in everyday language to include all families and folks. Thanks for sharing this lovely video and thoughts! 😊

Worst thing for me when I was out with my kids was the assumption that I had them for the weekend. I was a single father since before they were teenagers, so NO, I WASN'T LOOKING AFTER THEM PART TIME!
Your parents are so lovely! I loved both of their episodes :D
The envy I feel of your relationship with your dad is wild. I'm so happy that you have such lovely parents because I've learned so much from you!
i love your parents - would your dad mind doing a q&a about his work with kids with special educational needs?
Yesss this! Was going to say the same thing! Would be very interesting :)
This was really sweet and lovely. Loved his take on gender neutral terms there at the end especially.

Unsurprisingly your dad is an absolute delight!
So refreshing seeing parents like yours! Mine are like the opposite of that and I'm always amazed at how others have decent caretakers.

wow your parents seem really really great
Oh Hannah I love your parents! Thanks for sharing their experience, this is huge for those of us that didn't really have these kind of role models.
He honestly has the sweetest, most wholesome vibe

Most most the new words that they are coming up with that aren’t gender they sound bad. We are never going to get use to neutral gender words.
@@ZairaBandy no! We must! There's Xadres. The prounounciation isn't the worst for that one. "Progenitores" also works but is really formal. "Figura parental". Tambien he leido que usan "adre"/"adres". "Estes son mis adres". "Elle es mi adre". "Les adres". "Como estan tus adres?" No sé jaja.
It was a joy to hear your dads opinions on parenting. You have lovely parents. Really intelligent, inclusive, positive and open minded. 👍🏻
in Brazilian Portuguese there really isn't a neutral word like parents, but we've begun to address parents as "caretakers" (loosely translated), not only in order to be gender neutral, but also because of the huge amount of grandparents who end up taking an active role in their grandchildren's lives due to culture and social issues
What an absolute joy! It’s so lovely having your parents join for discussions like these ❤ I see so many of the lovely ways your parents impacted you.
It's really nice hearing a man, and more so, a dad, talking about all of that. There are good men out there ! So thank you for making this video and thank you to your dad for taking the time.
Your parents are so great! 😍
Aww your dad is LOVELY! 💖
I loved this! I haven't watched the one with your mum so I have nothing to compare it to but it was so lovely to hear you two reflect on parenting together.
What a wonderful video. Your dad is so lovely and spoke so beautifully
This was a wonderful video. Your parents are amazing
Your dad is so so lovely! What an honour to have such a great parent!
Hannah thank you so much for this! I just wrote down all the questions, so I could talk to my parents about all these topics. It was sooooo interesting to watch you and your dad dynamic thruogh the video!!! p.s. my son was born at the end of June 2022 btw ;)))
Your dad is so sweet! Thank you for the video, it was a nice watch
Loved getting to see your Dad! Really enjoyed hearing his perspective, and you are so fortunate to have two wonderful parents! Hope he's on again in the future! :)
Love this! Your dad seems lovely and has such an interesting perspective, great role model 😊
I absolutely love your interaction with your dad, quite easy going.
Let this be a start ❤ he seems like a lovely person!
The scandinavian (norse) languages have a gender neutral terms for parents. We have play on words that sounds similar to mother and father too. My dad would always play around with it. Mom is mor and dad is far. We have the word morsomt, which means ‘funny’ and we have the word farligt, which means dangerous. He would extend the login, so there must be something that’s farsomt and something that’s morligt (both are nonsense words).
Please bring your dad on to your channel more often (if he's comfortable with that). His insights have been truly fascinating
And a GREAT dad joke at the end there 😆 love your parents, no wonder they raised such a lovely person 😁
The commenting on "good dads" in public happens to us all the time. We have a very even division of labor and my husband is more physical because of my disabilities. When we went to disneyland in the fall and were ordering food at a counter service place and our kid needed the bathroom, he automatically did it because it's harder on my body and the amount of gasps and cis women swooning over him was epic! It was like the whole restaurant went silent and it almost made me feel guilty? Like I then got the "does she even deserve him?" looks next which was new for me. Loving this chat!
What beautiful parents you have! Inside and out!
I love these videos with your parents! Its super awesome you're able to have such open conversations with them 😊
Your Dad is just simply wonderful! More please! 👏 PS, you have his smile 😁🥰
Just catching up with this - I thought you were like your mum and then came your dad!!! Fabulous and so interesting more Hannahs dad please!
I love that he was just like, "So obviously it's my turn now." and then just came on and was like, "Hi. I know how to do this. I'm a youtuber." lol he's talking like he's interviewed on tv every tuesday. Brilliant man.
That was such an interesting video, especially after seeing your video with your mother a few weeks ago.
Interesting hearing your paternal grandfather was 48 when your dad was born was a bit comforting for me bc that’s how old my husband is and we’re TTC in June 2023
A tip about doing the angels thing with kids who are not or don't feel ready or whatever. You put them on top of from ankles to knees part instead of footsoles to belly. With that position you can do a lot of the similar feeling things like going up and down and little to the side etc. with more control and feeling of safety for both parties. There is also very nice pair acrobatics kind of things you can do with a child that has a solid grasp standing up you can do from adult on their back on the floor position. I learned that from going the parent-child circus group with my kids.
Loved this, made me smile a lot! 🥰
Yay finally got to see Hannah’s dad 🎉🎉
Aww your dad seems like a great human.❤
There's something about a grandad telling it like it is. Age gives you great perspective!
You have such an amazing dad! You‘re so lucky ❤️
Dad witton!! I loved the video 😊💟
a minute in and already loving your dad's humor lol
I really enjoyed this video, especially as somebody who has never had a dad. I think you would both really enjoy episode 145 of the Allusionist podcast, 'Parents'. It goes into detail about the history and use of gender-neutral terms for parents and caregivers, with a focus on the experience of trans parents. Would love to see more of James on the channel in future!
