@GrogMyzer People should be free to have as many children as they feel they should have. This mother is clearly doing her best to raise her children to be good people.
Zack, it is difficult because I think most people who follow religion seriously have the fear of being rejected because let's face it, I reckon more than 50 percent of people would gladly close the door on their faces but I guess that is what having faith and strength is all about. As long as you are a vessel for God that is good, if you pick up someone along the way that is even better, even if some people do not want to hear it.
@sangieredwolf My parents had us all take piano when we were young--I was the only one who stuck with it, but my siblings would say they are glad they still had the education. How would I have known I would love playing the piano if I had no exposure to lessons?
@Marflet11 This video did not say "in order to enjoy life you must be Mormon." It is just trying to show that Mormons are normal and have families too. They are not 'weird' or 'crazy' and they do pretty much everything the rest of the world does as long as it is not against the law or hurting anybody. I'm happy that you're a Christian, because Mormons are Christians too.
Thank you for this video. You have helped inspire me to be a better mom to my four children. Like yours, they take music lessons and sometimes they complain, but one day they will understand what a blessing and privilege it is to have the gift of music. You are opening doors for them that later they can choose for themselves. Like you, I am glad that my Mormon faith gives me strength to carry on when life is tough. Thank you.
I'm Catholic, and I have no wrathful feelings toward you. I think it's best that people respect one another's beliefs, as long as neither is hurting the other. I know plenty of atheists I think very highly of. The important thing is that none of us belittles the other for their beliefs. Have a nice day :)
@wishuponastar442 First, the Mormon church does NOT require people to have lots of kids. Plenty of LDS families have only 1 or 2 kids, and they are certainly not shunned. Second, I grew up in a family of 6 kids. There were a lots of us, but my parents had the resources to care for us, and our family just wouldn't have been the same with less of us. You need to have the number of children you think is right for your family, whether it be 1 or 7.
There have been so many misrepresentations of Mormons from so many different sources. These videos give a glimpse into the everyday lives of Mormons and how their values affect their lives. It doesn't take any effort to be cynical ,sarcastic or dismissive. It does take effort to put what Mormons believe to the test to see if it does indeed make your life better and deepens your relationship with God. I made the effort 35 years ago and it has blessed me and my family beyond measure. I'm a Mormon.
I really don't see why people don't understand the point of these videos... Its obvious to anyone who has eyes and ears that Mormons have gotten a bad rap over the years for both deserving and undeserving reasons. They are trying to show they are just like everyone else, and being Mormon doesn't define them and what they can become. And no, I'm not Mormon.
It's nice that some mom's have the option to not work full-time jobs but I'm not so cool with forcing your children to learn instruments. They should do what inspires them not what inspires you. Fortunately she grew up in Switzerland where they teach multiple languages throughout school, unlike America, which ha;s some of the worst education available. I'm not sure how any of this has to do with her being Mormon but okay :p
Hello sister :D have you ever considered learning Russian?? Cyrillics are a little hard to get by, but it would open up a large population you could communicate with. AND EVERYONE SHUT UP... why do you bash her for being mormon? Do you really waste your lives bashing videos and other religious people for.. nothing? Her being a mormon has nothing to do with her being a good mother, person, linguist, etc. so just shut up and enjoy the video.
what does being a Mormon have anything to do with being a mother you could speak 6 languages be a mother of 7 and be any other religion i dont see the point of making these vids
B Miley, that is one of the reasons I left the JW's. But I find the trinity not easy to accept either. I know God is there but I am just feeling my way around and soaking up some knowledge. But there have been a couple of odd things that have happened. Like one being when I taken a photograph of a rainbow one day, I looked to the right and noticed it looked like the rainbow was coming out of the church, is it a coincidence? Of course there is no such thing as coincidence is there? I am not there yet but I have some faith and I believe it is growing more and more all the time....so I am going to get there. :) ..since I said all that i am as well say I have some other beliefs too, like other gods, so that is a tough one for me just now as if I go down this path, I can only follow one God. But I do have a feeling about the church of Jesus Christ of the latter day saints, this might just be for me.only been to the church twice so far and I am sure I will be there tomorrow.. :)
@jaylh2001 The Mormon Church is true. Joseph Smith was a prophet--he was NOT a con. I have read the Book of Mormon, which he translated by the power of God, and I know it is true and not a fabrication. If you haven't read the Book of Mormon, I suggest that you do, and you would find out that the Church is not a scheme for money-making or mental enslavement, but a Gospel to help us become like Jesus Christ, whom we worship.
@thetimothyjr2155: You're so amazing to be able to just pick up Foreign languages like popcorn out of a bag! I wish I could be like that. You are so knowledgeable! Except, hmm wait. . . it doesn't seem that "Swiss" is a language . . . were you referring to Swiss German, Swiss French, or Swiss Italian? I'm confused.
Supreme Lord Jesus Christ is too exalted to be worshipped by those within temporal modes of observation/action. Temporal people who wish to worship God have no route other than to bow before the pantheon of Demi-Gods. Sri Ganesh is the master of those who do not fully renounce desire for everything in motionless bliss. The Christ shall not take an unfit slave who remains in wilful ignorance when The Path has been Lived. Sri Ganesh blocks the path you seek with illusion and lust. Jai!
Making happy people I LIKE THAT
I like how she wants to raise her kids to be well-rounded and happy.
basically once you speak french, spanish can be picked up practically overnight. once you speak german, swiss and dutch can be picked up overnight.
I like her view that the cost was too high for her to let someone else raise her children. She values them more than the cost of living. I like that.
@GrogMyzer People should be free to have as many children as they feel they should have. This mother is clearly doing her best to raise her children to be good people.
Lovely to know you are living a similarly busy, family-devoted life across the world. All the best in all you do! Chaleureusement, une autre mere....
Fabulous!
Her accent sounds remarkably American for having lived in Switzerland until she was 20.

@MishkaHughes is true because you say so

Amen!

What is not to like? geez! You go girl! You are doing it right - raise your children in love - not in daycare. :)

please keep NEGATIVE comments to yourselves!

And no, I'm not Mormon.
im confused.. why would you believe in a lie?
I want to be a freelance translator too....

@shawneeindian I'm assuming you mean that the Mormon church is a lie? I'd have to disagree with that.

@thetimothyjr2155 You obviously are very knowledgeable about languages, except "Swiss" isn't a language! She speaks Swiss German and High German.
cool we are Mormon too and are Christian too but we don't believe in the trinity.
