Why homemakers aren’t content

I’m 63. I sure do miss the days of having a house full of children, cooking non stop, and sleeping hard at night. Now I have more time to keep things super organized and tidy. More time to explore new crafts. Rearranging my furniture instead of buying new. Enjoy every minute. Time FLIES!!!

My kids r 40 36 33 and still come home every Saturdaynight for supper❤

I got married in 1985 at age 22. I miss the days of no technology. Life was busy, but slower. I had more time to clean, organize, craft, cook, all the things I love. In the mid 90’s I started working full time, but cellphones still weren’t a thing. Then the 2000’s came and my job required that I have a smartphone with me at all times. It still does. I am overwhelmed. I just want to slow down again, now that I’m 61, but i have to keep working. So now I’m addicted to YouTube videos. I need to cut way way back, and concentrate on me and my home again. Thank you for reminding me of simpler times. It’s so nice to hear that as a younger person you feel this too and recognize it. I love that you appreciate your home and family and that you love it. ❤

“Humans are meant to create, and not just consume…”

I always remind myself through the cooking, cleaning, farming and homeschooling…that I GET to do this. It’s a mental game changer.

I am 72 , Hubby is 73 and every Friday is “ our date day”. We always do something a little different and special from the rest of the days. We are still madly in love and we both look forward to our “ special” day. It’s the very simple things we do that are the most enjoyable.

This is so True! We were not created to know about Everything Everywhere…. We Need to pay more Attention to Our Own Lives & our Loved Ones 😎

I got off FB after the birth of my second child (now expecting #8!). More than just something for me, it was a gift to my children. It was a gift of my time and attention, setting my priorities intentionally, making sure the kids aren’t just interruptions to the FB never ending scroll. But the part I think they appreciate, is their childhoods remained private and protected. It was a struggle to retrain my brain and break some habits, but I’ve never regretted it.

I left social media about 3 years ago… no regrets 🙌🏻

"Get your kids to come back?!" If I were you kid I'd never LEAVE!!!!!

“We are getting robbed of our peace of mind” YES. This video so perfectly summed up exactly how I’ve been feeling thank you, I needed this

When I take my little grandchildren to the park, nothing makes me sadder than seeing young mothers ignoring their children while glued to their phones. They barely look up from the screens. It breaks my heart.

Im a teen and I really love your videos, they inspire me to have a life like you, to cook and be able to create like that for my future family❤ i hope you see that your content can reach teenagers too❤

U asked how we started having our kids come home every Saturday night for supper?. It actually was their idea. Granddaughters love it here. They even all sleepover. Adults and all. Just enjoy hanging out .

Agree with everything but also isolation. Many moms of my generation are dealing with having children and not having a community or freinds or even family to engage with often. We often turn to our phones for socialization which is never enough. We need human interaction. It’s so hard these days to make friends these days because of how polarized this country is.

As a momma for the past 20 years (10 kiddos later), you are 100% correct. Things have changed so much, yet I realize I've just become more old-fashioned as time went on. ♥ Thankfully, my grown girls have embraced the lifestyle and are going to end up a million times better than me. Isn't that always the hope? 🤗

This was fantastic! Thank you for addressing this topic. YouTube is the only social media I engage with. I can't imagine spending endless hours scrolling on Facebook, Instagram or TikTok.

This hits on exactly how i feel! I was just telling my friend that i was not made to know so much. I cannot mentally handle taking care of my families needs and all that entails/homeschooling/working part time/all the worlds conflicts/all the opinions of content creators and then getting pulled into the comment fights/trying to enjoy time to myself etc etc. my real life circle is small and often i feel like i use social media to fill it in, but in general it just makes me feel unfulfilled or pushed me to consume more social media or the “must have” product the push. I scroll when i should read or get something done. I scroll when i should be resting! Its just so hard and addicting. And i hate it. Sorry for the rambling 😂

My oldest turned 18 in May and my youngest is almost 7. Parenting has changed so much since the 2000s. It’s wild.

We have family dinner at my mother in laws house every Monday. My son just graduated high school moving away to college in a month and I’m beginning to realize what a treasure it is to have your kids CHOOSE to spend time with you. I only hope to be so lucky!
