The fact that you two are self aware to have this convo just shows that you’re wonderful parents! Keep loving those babies hard and fighting for them in prayer and they will thank you for it later 🙏🏻🤍
Tori I think as a mom when I was your age I felt the same way. We moms try so hard to be perfect for our children. Being perfect isn’t possible. I wish I had known that when raising my kids. You are an amazing mom and fights and mess will happen and sometimes it’s ugly. You’re teaching them who they are in Christ and that’s the most important thing. Y’all are amazing parents❤️
Tori, You are beyond fortunate to have a husband who shares his heart and mind with you. As women, we have a tendency to overthink. As a 68 year old I would recommend listening well to your husband's point of view. Even if it stings, understand he adores and loves you and your children.
I just SPLIT ...with my husband of 23 years and 6 kids whom DID NOT COMMUNICATE at all.. was so shut in all ways.. I love zack ... I love how much he does for you ,kids and house.. Noone is perfect. but he's better then millions out here ... many complain you Cut each other off all the time.But to me, it looks like you're just communicating and talking.... witch I never got.... :( I think you guys are doing great... I love you both...❤❤❤ Always lead with love...❤❤❤❤
This is one of the best episodes with Zach and Tori 😂❤Zach talking about floor coloring and bed sheets 😂I understand how Tori feels about those things😉Zach is hilarious!!❤
Absolutely loved this conversation. Family is such a hard thing to navigate sometimes but 1000% everyone has problems in their families. Some are just better at hiding it than others. I’m also in a season of life with my kids doing an activity I would have never been into. My daughter is in to cheer as of late and I was never a girly girl so I was a bit surprised when this was brought up. But hey now I’m sitting in the bleachers 3 days a week with noise canceling headphones on while she is living her best life. Sometime we have to just go with the flow. Hope you guys have a great week.
Do not worry about their relationship. I worried about that with my daughter and son because they were 7 years apart but they are totally there for each other now that they are older and it makes me so very happy.
I know it is hard but siblings will argue. My kids are now 15 and 17. They used to argue all the time. Now they hardly ever argue and actually try and plan to go to different things to support each other. There is a light at the end of the tunnel.
Thank you so much for opening up, I know it must be hard to share some things on a public platform but it really is relatable and was just what I needed to hear right now! Much love to you and your beautiful family ❤
Don’t sweat it Tori; my brother and I used to fight all the time as kids, especially when we were teens. I actually really did not like him when we were teenagers lol. We have been best friends for years now. It will be fine. Just keep building family memories together and they will have plenty to talk about when they are older.
I do think you have a great example of masculine and feminine in a couple. The woman processing emotion and the man bringing her down with reality and it’s hard sometimes but so necessary. It’s a beautiful balance and such a blessing to have someone calm your worries
Great podcast!! Parenting is both the easiest and hardest job in the world. Children argue with each other because they are learning to express themselves and set boundaries . It's hard to ignore or not jump I buy as you say "do your best and forget the rest". That's all you can do you two are the best and compliment each other so well. PS Tori, you look so pretty today! Great job!❤😊
Good talk. Wait until you’re older and your children move on and they don’t always come and visit. I have three children and each one has their own life and I’ve learned to appreciate the moments when we get together. My middle child I haven’t seen for a year. Last Christmas was our first that we were alone. My husband and I. I think about God’s character when dealing with my children. God lets us go and He keeps the standards but He wants us to have a relationship with Him. He gives us free choice so He lets us go.
Try living without a husband or significant other. I have a dog and he is my companion. No one but one neighbor up the road has visited me in over a year ( I take care of her cat that wanders to my house during the summer). People just don't care anymore. My children are grown up and have their lives, so I understand they are busy. I like being alone most of the time, but sometimes I wonder why no one cares enough to see me as a person that they like enough to visit. It is very humbling. I visit a few neighbors throughout the year and family at Christmas, but no one comes to see me. When my kids were young, we had no visitors at our home for NINE YEARS! No one from work, no family, no friends, no delivery people from a store or business unless I bought something to be delivered. Please visit one of your neighbors... it would make them feel like they matter. I realize there are people in way worse situations than me, and I always pray for them. I do thank God every day for what I DO have, because one day I may not even have those things anymore. Be grateful and give your troubles to the Lord, that is my advice.
I have 4...they live 42-135 miles away...they rarely call...they talk through a 5 way text...unless I go see them they never come to my house...1 granddaughter has asked for 7 years to come to my house...😢
So sad for people saying they don’t see their kids. Mine all live within 15 minutes, we see each other all the time. They are all college educated and hold jobs but family so important. Can’t imagine not seeing them every few days, talking every day.
Good discussion. Being now on the other side, with my kids in their late 30's and not getting along is heartbreaking, but looking back I don't see that I could have done even one more thing to stop this from happening. Sad, but true. Another adult that I had no input into their upbringing came in and spoiled the relationship I fostered for years. Though she is gone, the rift is cement. Other adult opinions that they now have are at odds, there is love, but it seems that is all.
Tori, no one is beating up on you. If anything, you are beating up on yourself. Please let Zach talk and finish what he has to say, you really cut him off alot, if you dont like to be cut off as you made a big stink about it in the beginning of the episode then show the same respect and not cut Zach off.
Let them argue and step in if it gets physical. My 4 sons are good friends now that they're adults. If I heard something particularly ugly I would talk to that son later in private about what he said what what he could have done better and how what he said made his brother feel. Also, there a saying "I raised my kids on my knees" Praying for your children is vital
Sooooo, all of the videos, pics you see of siblings hugging each other, I feel that most of the time, that is for picture and video. In the next breath, they are fighting just like your kiddos. I love Zach’s comment, “if they are fighting, WEIRD”. So so true. Mine are almost 13 and 16 and still fight.
My kids have early Christmas with me because they have always spent Christmas Eve with their wealthy father...it hurts me but our simple Christmas is enough just because it is my life reality....😊
I love your honesty, both of you. Every family has these things to different levels. You all just had to play so much out in the public. It’s refreshing to see young adults able to reflect not only on others but on yourselves as well. ❤
Zach's analogies are great. I agree with some of Tori's points, too. It's nice that they can talk about the topic of parenting their kids in a mature manner and come to some useful conclusions. I think both of you are doing a great job as parents. You both balance each other and hold each other to a realistic albeit proper standard as loving parents. Your kids are lucky to have two parents who care so much about raising children lovingly and responsibly.
Zak is an adult child of a male influence who is a Narcissist, it is vital that these children do a Family Systems retreat , not as a family but in a safe place where he can pick others there to represent his family members and get out the things that he was never able to express, to a money oriented Narcissist parent Zak comes across as a Lazy or Unmotivated, Privileged Unambitious child, having many years of experience in family therapy and dysfunctional families I know it's hard to deal with. There was also a religious oriented so called spiritual female that came into the family dynamic and looked down her nose at Tori and Zak because they had different values, Tori knows that any bandaid put on that relationship is only a stop gap and isolating her family only passes on the dysfunctionality to the next generation, best said out loud in private heal and move on, it takes all sorts to make a world. "There is nowt as queer as family dynamics" love the Podcasts
Honestly if you’re close , super close, as young siblings it’s because you’re relying on each other. Usually it’s a trauma bond more than getting along. The fact that your kids are comfortable in the home means that your home has the right structure
Are you talking about the glass bottle falling from a plane and a African tribesman finds it and takes it home? A tribe member didn't own anything that other tribe people didn't have. Pretty soon people of the tribe started fighting over the bottle. The man who brought it into the tribe decided he had to get rid of it. The movie is called "The Gods Must Be Crazy" it's a great movie and can bring on a great discussion. Another great movie that points out how government gets skewed is 'War of the Buttons'. Takes place in Ireland, and the main participants are the children in the village.
I love y’all’s podcast! You don’t need to change anything…continue just like that. Don’t allow outsiders to harsh your calm. I like the way y’all interact with each other. Y’all are doing good!❤
I've learned that just because your related doesn't mean they have to be in your life..I've let go of majority of my negative family and I have no regrets..Jesus didn't worry about dragging along negative family members.
I have really enjoyed watching this video, hearing some parenting tips from parents that are real and don’t try to fake it. Thank you for sharing your insight and knowledge of parenting. Thank you for being real and keeping it 100% honest and real on parenting young children.
We just had to replace our whole kitchen and dining room floor because our dishwasher flooded under the kitchen cabinets and seeped under the flooring and started to mold. I am so worried about our new floors because we went kind of cheap as we weren’t planning to have to do it. We had the same thing, engineered hardwood before and now vinyl. Tori I am the same way, I got mad at people as well for not showing up for my kids to the point I didn’t talk to my best friend for years.
I feel that family occasions, ie birthdays- holidays, should be first priority. We only have a certain amount of time on this earth. What if thats the last birthday with that person and you didnt go? I know I dont ask for much much I personally feel birthday and holidays are a must go event.
I got so excited couple weeks ago we went through your town. I was hoping to see you guys. I follow you ever since the show seeing Zach and Tori grow up your kids being born your marriage everything and I just told my husband if we could just see them I would be so happy this would, make my whole vacation, but we didn’t get to see you maybe next time
Your children are going to fight. The thing to remember is your children share memories that no one else will share with them as,siblings and that is what will bring them together as adults most of the time. Your job is foster respect for each other. Everyone looks good in pictures, no one wants to take the " bad" pictures.
My experience with 6 grown children is that they are all so busy with their immediate families (sports etc) that they are not seeing their siblings as much. But my step daughter has always had the family Christmas party which is so fun. My grandchildren are of child bearing age so eventually it will become more complicated
My son and daughter, who are two years apart, fought all the time. My son is #3 of my 4, and my daughter is the baby. Anyway, they fought a lot but became close their high-school years. Now they are both married and it is a bit different like you are describing with your siblings. My son has his own daughter now.😊 they are 26 and 24. Love your pod cast! Watched Zach grow up on LPBW. 😊
@@sandy-intro we also cannot judge them, that’s not our place. We don’t know them personally and we don’t know the dynamics of their relationship. It’s seems they both nitpick at each other but this is the reality of relationships that LPBW did not show.
We just pulled off the surprise of the century by all 5 of us siblings got together for my mom’s 80th birthday. It’s the first time we have been together in decades. On the outside it looks like the perfect family get together. Don’t get me wrong, it was a beautiful thing for my mom. Most people didn’t see the major issues between some of the issues between the siblings. Do I regret going, no way because it wasn’t about the sibling issues (which are silly and ridiculous) it was about celebrating my mom and Her 80 years. She had no idea it was happening. The greatest thing was watching my mom get excited as she realized each child had showed up. There is no perfect family. Things will never go the way we expect but it doesn’t mean it can’t be a beautiful experience.
I’ve lost relationships with my family because I found the police on my nephew who had been drinking and driving constantly as a teenager. The day they caught him he wasn’t drinking and driving, or I should say he was sober by that point but they had a good talk with him I didn’t know how much I cared how much you’re worried and what the law is. My family was very upset over this and didn’t support what I did instead of doing nothing but criticize it. Lo and behold years later my nephew has three drinking and driving charges well in his early 20s. Knowing the outcome I saw I do it all again. My nephew does talk to me now. The rest of the family not so much.
Hey Zach and Tori- Happy Thursday. Jackson - is literally a mini me of Zach. Personality and style. Everyone has family issues. I find that my husband and i are always trying and giving a 100% to our family. Now we are having a kid and we have family that cant even show up to be a apart of the kids life. so we drew the line and said we are done trying and to focus on our family and values. Instead of always trying to please people who don't show up. Tori- how would you mentally approach the thought of parents and siblings not showing up for kids birthday party cause they dont want to drive? they attend every other members birthday events. when we have a party they say we dont want to make the drive so we arent going to be there. Also how do you explain to the kids with the truth?
I have 5 kids- all grown now. When they were younger and they'd come to me whining about one of their sibs, I'd ask if they were broken , bruised or bleeding. It was almost always " no" . I'd step in if necessary, but most of the time, they'd work it out
We’re on our 2nd floor replacement in less than a year! We had a flood like you in October so we had to redo our floors and kitchen. In July we noticed water coming up in our dining room. We’re still trying to figure out where the water is coming from. Needless to say HERE WE GO AGAIN!
If we want our children to be close to The Lord then we show them by our examples who we turn to for happy and sad times. We teach them who they can turn to for comfort so they have those go to places in their soul. We teach by example.
Brothesr & Sisters will fight no matter what age. One thing I did when my kids were young is made then make up. And if they didn't want to it was fine but they couldn't stay angry. So they had to sit together till they figured it out. Then hug after. A few times, I put them in an extra large t shirt. lol figure it out, guys. But still love each other ❤ it worked for us.
Flooring & nail deal - most likely they do not want nails to be used due to needing allowance for thermal growth; allows the flooring to expand & contract over time. Nailing it down will not allow for the movement required. All structures / materials have thermal growth, it's inevitable. Tho it may be small/minimal amounts it's still an important item to allow for, for best product(s) performance.
I enjoyed today's video interesting topic. I can't imagine not having my family around. My mama and daddy have passed away. They were five of us siblings my second oldest brother passed away in 97 the same year as my daddy. My oldest brother is in the hospital now he's had fifteen heart attacks and I don't remember how many stints. He finally has decided to do a DNR now he's says he's tired and ready to go. His wife we almost lost her a couple years ago from a spider bite. She came through it and she takes amazing care of him she keeps a table and writes everything down time of med's and even every he eats. He wanted a big dinner get together and we made sure it happened for him every family member that could be there was there. It's just hard for me to understand the families that's not close I just feel bad for them.😢
Tori I was just like you when I was younger. I hated things hugging my body. I was skinny, but I just didn’t like I don’t know flaunting my body. I guess I’d rather it cover it up.
I had an older brother and a younger brother, they fought a lot, but they would pick on me most. My younger brother punched me over chair once my older brother smacked me in the face and tried to beat me up. Yeah sibling rival is normal!
Tori and Zach, PLEASE stop posting your podcasts so early in the work day.. As soon as I see that a new podcast is posted, everything else LITERALLY goes on hold (including work), and I have to tune in right away!... Oh boy, this is going to be such an unproductive work morning!! Lol
Had a large hornet nest in a low hanging tree limb and we was told to have a professional remove it after dark - they enclosed it in a bag and then cut it down and removed it. Not sure what they did with the actual nest. If there was hornets left behind you will want to keep a look out for a new nest being built
IMHO.....Those you are close with whether it be family or friends is mostly because you have something in common 😊 When commonality fades so do those relationships 😢 sorry but true 👍 and relationships are constantly evolving.
The fact that you two are self aware to have this convo just shows that you’re wonderful parents! Keep loving those babies hard and fighting for them in prayer and they will thank you for it later 🙏🏻🤍
Tori I think as a mom when I was your age I felt the same way. We moms try so hard to be perfect for our children. Being perfect isn’t possible. I wish I had known that when raising my kids.

Absolutely 💯
So true
I just SPLIT ...with my husband of 23 years and 6 kids whom DID NOT COMMUNICATE at all.. was so shut in all ways.. I love zack ... I love how much he does for you ,kids and house.. Noone is perfect. but he's better then millions out here ... many complain you Cut each other off all the time.But to me, it looks like you're just communicating and talking....
witch I never got.... :(
I think you guys are doing great... I love you both...❤❤❤ Always lead with love...❤❤❤❤
I can relate so much to Tori’s comment with being offended when people don’t show up for your young kid!
I am so thankful that our whole family loves to get together, go on vacations together, etc. There’s no greater joy for us! We are so blessed! 🙏❤️🙏
@@daleclark8872 yes you are blessed
Yes, yes you are 💞
You know you guys are an amazing couple because of the way you talk back and forth to one another. Great connection and love to see.
This is one of the best episodes with Zach and Tori 😂❤Zach talking about floor coloring and bed sheets 😂I understand how Tori feels about those things😉Zach is hilarious!!❤
Truly love listening to raising heights.
Can I just say how funny all of Zach’s little sayings are 😂 totally reminds me of Amy lol
I love listening to them talk about themselves and their family. It's not edited by producers. It's them in the raw. ❤🥰❤️😍💯🤗❣️🎉

hes such a dude!! i love that !we need more of Zach in the world!!!
Zach: ‘You’re welcome Clark County’. 😂😂😂😂
Agree 😂😂😂
I firmly believe yall have such a great grasp on all of this because the lord is very present in your family and homes

Great podcast!! Parenting is both the easiest and hardest job in the world. Children argue with each other because they are learning to express themselves and set boundaries . It's hard to ignore or not jump I buy as you say "do your best and forget the rest". That's all you can do you two are the best and compliment each other so well. PS Tori, you look so pretty today!

Good talk. Wait until you’re older and your children move on and they don’t always come and visit. I have three children and each one has their own life and I’ve learned to appreciate the moments when we get together. My middle child I haven’t seen for a year. Last Christmas was our first that we were alone. My husband and I. I think about God’s character when dealing with my children. God lets us go and He keeps the standards but He wants us to have a relationship with Him. He gives us free choice so He lets us go.
I agree. I’m in the same situation with my older 3 children. While I’m doing my best to follow Christ, I’m praying my children come back to Him.
Best episode EVER! Thanks🎈
Try living without a husband or significant other. I have a dog and he is my companion. No one but one neighbor up the road has visited me in over a year ( I take care of her cat that wanders to my house during the summer). People just don't care anymore. My children are grown up and have their lives, so I understand they are busy. I like being alone most of the time, but sometimes I wonder why no one cares enough to see me as a person that they like enough to visit. It is very humbling. I visit a few neighbors throughout the year and family at Christmas, but no one comes to see me. When my kids were young, we had no visitors at our home for NINE YEARS! No one from work, no family, no friends, no delivery people from a store or business unless I bought something to be delivered. Please visit one of your neighbors... it would make them feel like they matter. I realize there are people in way worse situations than me, and I always pray for them. I do thank God every day for what I DO have, because one day I may not even have those things anymore. Be grateful and give your troubles to the Lord, that is my advice.
I have 4...they live 42-135 miles away...they rarely call...they talk through a 5 way text...unless I go see them they never come to my house...1 granddaughter has asked for 7 years to come to my house...😢
So sad for people saying they don’t see their kids. Mine all live within 15 minutes, we see each other all the time. They are all college educated and hold jobs but family so important. Can’t imagine not seeing them every few days, talking every day.
Good discussion. Being now on the other side, with my kids in their late 30's and not getting along is heartbreaking, but looking back I don't see that I could have done even one more thing to stop this from happening.

Please let Zach talk and finish what he has to say, you really cut him off alot, if you dont like to be cut off as you made a big stink about it in the beginning of the episode then show the same respect and not cut Zach off.
Exactly my sentiment. Tori we love you...just a piece of advice.
Let them argue and step in if it gets physical. My 4 sons are good friends now that they're adults. If I heard something particularly ugly I would talk to that son later in private about what he said what what he could have done better and how what he said made his brother feel. Also, there a saying "I raised my kids on my knees" Praying for your children is vital
Exactly 💯

U guys are just great .. your conversations are just so relatable.. I love the banter between you 😊
Tori interrupts Zack way too often…and she uses her hands way, way too much as a drama Queen, Zack is grounded and my hero!
I love her but she does interrupt and cuts off Zach!
❤❤ my "peak" was watching Lila put on makeup ❤❤

i have almost 38 and 30 year old kids and we love having family dinner and going on trips together!!
My son and daughter, who are two years apart, fought all the time. My son is #3 of my 4, and my daughter is the baby. Anyway, they fought a lot but became close their high-school years. Now they are both married and it is a bit different like you are describing with your siblings. My son has his own daughter now.😊 they are 26 and 24. Love your pod cast! Watched Zach grow up on LPBW. 😊
8:32 Zach instigating Tori is so funny 😂😂 THIS is the reality of marriage! Love the raw and real life stuff. Keep being awesome!
He's kind of arrogant and a know it all...gets hard to watch...Tori builds him up and he nitpicks her
@@sandy-intro we also cannot judge them, that’s not our place. We don’t know them personally and we don’t know the dynamics of their relationship. It’s seems they both nitpick at each other but this is the reality of relationships that LPBW did not show.
She has to defend herself all the time
I really liked the book "Kids without rivalry" by Adele Faber. It was really helpful. You can look into that. 🙂
We just pulled off the surprise of the century by all 5 of us siblings got together for my mom’s 80th birthday. It’s the first time we have been together in decades. On the outside it looks like the perfect family get together. Don’t get me wrong, it was a beautiful thing for my mom. Most people didn’t see the major issues between some of the issues between the siblings. Do I regret going, no way because it wasn’t about the sibling issues (which are silly and ridiculous) it was about celebrating my mom and Her 80 years. She had no idea it was happening. The greatest thing was watching my mom get excited as she realized each child had showed up.
There is no perfect family. Things will never go the way we expect but it doesn’t mean it can’t be a beautiful experience.
TORI…. Let your husband finish a sentence please! 💯
I agree
@@amyburwell5005 Poor Zach. He’s shy to begin with & when he gets talkative she cuts him off constantly 😔
I have said many times in other episodes. She just doesn't get it
Love your podcast. The conversations and thoughtfulness are so enjoyable! From flooring to philosophy…love it. Have a great day🤗
You are a brave man for cutting those out of your tree. I read up on them. Scary. You guys are are so funny.
I’ve lost relationships with my family because I found the police on my nephew who had been drinking and driving constantly as a teenager. The day they caught him he wasn’t drinking and driving, or I should say he was sober by that point but they had a good talk with him I didn’t know how much I cared how much you’re worried and what the law is. My family was very upset over this and didn’t support what I did instead of doing nothing but criticize it. Lo and behold years later my nephew has three drinking and driving charges well in his early 20s. Knowing the outcome I saw I do it all again. My nephew does talk to me now. The rest of the family not so much.
Hey Zach and Tori- Happy Thursday.
Jackson - is literally a mini me of Zach. Personality and style.
Everyone has family issues. I find that my husband and i are always trying and giving a 100% to our family. Now we are having a kid and we have family that cant even show up to be a apart of the kids life. so we drew the line and said we are done trying and to focus on our family and values. Instead of always trying to please people who don't show up.
Tori- how would you mentally approach the thought of parents and siblings not showing up for kids birthday party cause they dont want to drive? they attend every other members birthday events. when we have a party they say we dont want to make the drive so we arent going to be there. Also how do you explain to the kids with the truth?
You two are doing great, don’t try to figure it out. YOU NEVER WILL. EVERY AGE WILL BRING SOMETHING NEW❤
You are both real, that’s what counts❤😊
We had those on Hart road in Beaverton. When we lived out there, they're nasty. We don't live there anymore.We're living in lake oswego now
You both are so fun and funny to listen to! I just love the way that you both love your family!
I have 5 kids- all grown now. When they were younger and they'd come to me whining about one of their sibs, I'd ask if they were broken , bruised or bleeding. It was almost always " no" . I'd step in if necessary, but most of the time, they'd work it out
My kids will all get together for a photograph. It’s not always perfect but they will do it.
We’re on our 2nd floor replacement in less than a year! We had a flood like you in October so we had to redo our floors and kitchen. In July we noticed water coming up in our dining room. We’re still trying to figure out where the water is coming from. Needless to say HERE WE GO AGAIN!
You guys are awesome!!
Hi Tori, I’d like to hear Zach finish his complete thought please 🙏🏼
Love listening to you two!
If we want our children to be close to The Lord then we show them by our examples who we turn to for happy and sad times. We teach them who they can turn to for comfort so they have those go to places in their soul. We teach by example.
Brothesr & Sisters will fight no matter what age. One thing I did when my kids were young is made then make up. And if they didn't want to it was fine but they couldn't stay angry. So they had to sit together till they figured it out. Then hug after.
A few times, I put them in an extra large t shirt. lol figure it out, guys. But still love each other ❤ it worked for us.
You have a beautiful family ❤🙏
True but their both great. She did take a lot of pressure in this viseo and accepted it. Again, they are both great. Let zach finish a thought. Lol
No family has no Drama that’s just life ❤❤❤❤❤❤ love you guys Blessings 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Let Zack speak, please. He's very smart.
I’m glad you said that cause I am getting ready to do my floors and I was looking at that vinyl
Sometimes you guys are a bit boring. However, what I appreciate most of all is your honesty!!
This comment is really unkind.
Flooring & nail deal - most likely they do not want nails to be used due to needing allowance for thermal growth; allows the flooring to expand & contract over time. Nailing it down will not allow for the movement required.
All structures / materials have thermal growth, it's inevitable. Tho it may be small/minimal amounts it's still an important item to allow for, for best product(s) performance.
You can get great area rugs that are washable for fairly cheap on line to change the look of your floors. You probably know that but ...💕
I enjoyed today's video interesting topic. I can't imagine not having my family around. My mama and daddy have passed away. They were five of us siblings my second oldest brother passed away in 97 the same year as my daddy. My oldest brother is in the hospital now he's had fifteen heart attacks and I don't remember how many stints. He finally has decided to do a DNR now he's says he's tired and ready to go. His wife we almost lost her a couple years ago from a spider bite. She came through it and she takes amazing care of him she keeps a table and writes everything down time of med's and even every he eats. He wanted a big dinner get together and we made sure it happened for him every family member that could be there was there. It's just hard for me to understand the families that's not close I just feel bad for them.😢
Really enjoyed listening! 🙂
Thats right kiddo...siblings needs to be forever...its not about reciprocating its about being the one that just does without expectation 😊😊
Tori I was just like you when I was younger. I hated things hugging my body. I was skinny, but I just didn’t like I don’t know flaunting my body. I guess I’d rather it cover it up.
I had an older brother and a younger brother, they fought a lot, but they would pick on me most. My younger brother punched me over chair once my older brother smacked me in the face and tried to beat me up. Yeah sibling rival is normal!
love u both ... ❤❤
Tori and Zach, PLEASE stop posting your podcasts so early in the work day.. As soon as I see that a new podcast is posted, everything else LITERALLY goes on hold (including work), and I have to tune in right away!... Oh boy, this is going to be such an unproductive work morning!! Lol
Wow, great episode.
Every family has drama -- no family is perfect and you never know what goes on behind closed doors
i love the seahawks too.
Thanks for this chat. It helped me 😊
❤❤❤
You Are Doing Good !!!
I Love you!!!from Greece 🇬🇷 ❤💐🌸🪷🌹🥀🌺🌻
Had a large hornet nest in a low hanging tree limb and we was told to have a professional remove it after dark - they enclosed it in a bag and then cut it down and removed it. Not sure what they did with the actual nest. If there was hornets left behind you will want to keep a look out for a new nest being built
IMHO.....Those you are close with whether it be family or friends is mostly because you have something in common 😊
When commonality fades so do those relationships 😢 sorry but true 👍 and relationships are constantly evolving.
The flooring talk makes me laugh…my hubs works for CFM and alllllll I hear about is flooring 🤪
We love you
Funny how I know who you’re talking about with that huge family reunions
