Matt just go buy the computer and surprise her! She’s not gonna go get it and you know she’s love it and use it if she had it but she’s not going to go get it she’s a mom our brains won’t let us but we do like gifts we don’t have to think about 😂❤
I dont know if you’ll read this comment but DO NOT give griffin popcorn!! Popcorn is not intended for kids under 3 years old, not only can be it be a very bad choking hazard but the little skin from the inside can get stuck in their stomach from what I’ve been told. Better to be safe than sorry! We usually pack cheeze-itz or crackers/chips when we take our 2yr old.
Whenever my husband and I are in a time of crisis he always reminds me that “it’s not us against each other, it’s us against the problem”. Anytime we’re going through something challenging, that mindset helps us face it together! One of the best parts of marriage is having a teammate to handle all the curveballs life throws at ya💕
I strongly disagree that most Christians get married young for sex. That's actually a very messed up thing to put out there because it is not true. Christian marriages are far more likely to last over non christian relationships. The reason a lot of us get married young is that we take our relationships unbelievably seriously. We go into dating with the mindset that we aren't going to waste our time or the other person's. We are looking for something real and serious because we don't want to give part of our heart to multiple people. That's why, when we start dating a lot of times we get married young. My husband and I were best friends from the age of 10. We started dating at 16 and married at 19. Not for sex even though we did wait, it was because we knew we are going to choose each other every day.
I came to say the same thing , when you are faithful to God and trust in Him to provide a partner, He will and He will bless your marriage. My husband and I knew each other for only 9 months before we got married and we’ve been very happily married for 5 years with two kids
@@as1209 that's amazing! My parents were similar. They were engaged after 3 months and married in 9. They have the happiest best marriage of anyone I know 25 years later.
I agree. I got married at 21 & never did I think “I’m doing this for sex”, marriage is far too important for me to ever consider something like it just for something temporary like sex.
I also think you notice such a different with the guests on the pod that are young married Christians vs the mainstream couples. People that aren't religious, meet and date, travel, live and marry and then possibly have kids... they seem more fulfilled, less naive and more content. Matt feels cheated out of experience and freedom and their naivety shows.
Meat... Coming from a hunting family hunting is far more humane than processed meat those animals are borderline tortured their whole lives. Lab meat worries me if we're already worried about what GMOs do ...
Abby!!! I just want to say thank you for speaking on generational cycles of addiction. It’s not talked about enough and as someone who was recently so affected by my families alcoholic issues it’s so refreshing that you’re using your platform to speak about it. Thanks abby & matt for always keeping it real ❤️
Seems very amped to me. He could just be happy he’s feeling better, but never seen an episode so far where he talks more than Abby lol when it’s one on one
My husband spent the first 2 weeks after starting meds for his adhd absolutely doing so many things. It was like he was amped up. After he got used to the medication he wasn't like that anymore. It took a couple of weeks.
This is not true, and blanket statements like this are harmful. It could be any number of reasons, including that he has not had an acclimation period or even that the dose is not idealized for him yet, starting too high, low tolerance, or standard release vs. extended release and fit for his lifestyle. There are also second and third line treatment options for adhd for a reason.
If you're getting this wired off of the meds I'm wondering if it the right med. I don't think you're supposed to get even more hyper. Be careful if its amphetamine they are sneaky addictive.
@emmamyers6152 yeah but sometimes people like me, dealing with other similar presenting issues (for me adult onset anxiety and ocd tendencies, aannnd fatigue, etc) I was prescribed the wrong thing...just trying to offer helpful info. I'm glad you found what works well for you. It's a blessing when that happens. 💛
If a doctor prescribes you medicine that you need for a certain problem, of course your body's going to get used to the medicine and your body will be addicted! It does not make you a drug addict, addicted. It's pretty crappy when people get shamed for taking something that they need and people say "oh no you're going to get addicted". If you need it and it works for you who cares. Heart medicine is the same way if you have to take it daily your body will get addicted, cuz you're used to taking it.
@@emmamyers6152Yes, but the thing is that stimulants calm down people with ADHD. It has the opposite effect on us than others. So if he is feeling amped up and wired on the meds, it makes you wonder if ADHD is the correct diagnosis ...
Please don’t confuse stimulant use with better focus. People with ADHD do not experience the effects the way that Matt is describing. Watch out for aggression, loss of appetite, sleeping problems, and ED. A lot of people get on it who don’t actually need it and end up with these symptoms.
These side effects also happen when prescribed dose is too high. I was prescribed 20mg adderall 2x a day. Horrible experience w/everything you listed and more. Got a good psych and 5mg 2x a day (1/4 original dose) is perfect for me. She said it’s very common. 😢
I was actually thinking about this. I had ADHD and that is not how I felt when I was medicated! it calmed me down, I was quiet and focused on my tasks. I didn't feel hyper or urgent about what I needed to get done.
@@AbigailJoannaGreen I don’t have adhd, but have used / abused the meds for focus, energy and at times weight loss. He’s hopefully just adjusting but yep acting a bit high .. adderall is strongly sought after for these reasons. Along with dex, concerta etc. Hopefully he doesn’t get the insomnia, I’d be up for days and get a whole room painted etc, house spotless
Matt seems WAY more talkative and fast-paced now that he's on ADHD medicine... I feel like he was constantly speaking over Abby... I hope the medicine ends up being a good thing, but I would be wary and cautious.
He don’t even tak his ADHD med everyday like your supposed too. He said in this video, he just takes it on days he needs to focus…. It does drive me crazy he never lets Abby finish her thought. Chill Matt.
Do not get a party planner for a 2yr old! It’s so easy, have child games indoor and outdoor. (Outside have a kitty pool, bubbles, chalk!) have drinks and snacks and cake or cupcakes. Aside from that get themed decorations. It shouldn’t cost that much! Also it’s been proven children that age will not remember. You will be 100% throwing the party for yourself. I’ve planned all my daughter’s bdays she just turned 5 and they always turn out great! Keeping it simple and at home is wayyyy easier for this age range.
I think you all are so lucky to have your parents help so much. My mom just outright told me she doesn't want to help out with my kids more than 1 day a week for a few hours when I'm at work. Consider yourselves blessed.
Matt, I found that doctors really shoot high on the dosage for ADHD medication, you might want to experiment here and there on a smaller dosage. I was on 20 mg for years before I tried it on 10, and had the exact same results on 10. Good luck!
His dose could be either too high or too low. If he is still showing adhd traits and she cannot tell the difference, his dose is likely too low. But a high dose can also exasperate those same traits. Most doctors usually start low and go up. It’s a controlled medication, it can be brutal to get a doctor to go higher in most cases…at least in my experience. I think the odds are either his dose is too high OR too low, but either way it’s not the right dose. Edit for more data
I know it’s nice to have family around but man having in laws LIVE with you sounds like an absolute recipe for disaster. Yes it’s going to be harder not having the extra pair of hands but to thrive as a couple - you really need your own house, your own space.
That is not a disaster your not then and let them do what they want! It wa sprobabsly the best thing for them for a little bit and they still have there own room and space
Abby- I also have a 2015 MacBook and I actually found a site where you can order a replacement battery. I did it and my Mac runs quick as if I had just gotten a new one. definitely worth considering replacing the battery
Abby: "What's shocking is Disney hired him back" NOOOOOOOOOOO What's shocking is you STILL support Disney and think it's a magical place! Dan is not the only one you guys!!! There are many more!
I enjoy y'all's content but whatever this new medicine is just isn't working. If you're even more scatterbrained how is that helping. Poor abby trying to redirect back to the subject over and over😂
Omg calm down. It’s a podcast. It is plained. People r getting famous on podcasts. They r probably nice people. And he is concentrating more n tasks on more than one. That’s how I am on my medicine. God people r so annoying
He said in one of the recent videos that he hasn't even taken it yet. She doesn't seem to agree about medication so I think that's a big reason why he hasn't actually taken it
I have 2 boys and something important to remember is that boys just have a ton of energy and it often seems very adhd when alot of the time society is just not set up for boys, its very normal for boys to be fully of energy and then in school settings they just label it as adhd when it’s just not natural for kids to sit still for that long. I’ve learned the more time my boys have outdoor the more regulated they are
ADHD medicine is supposed to slow you down and if it does the opposite, maybe you don’t have adhd? I could have my facts wrong but I taught many children on medication and it certainly didn’t make them like that
I’m worried that you started counseling + taking medications😬 seems timely… beware of the counseling ➡️pharmecutical pipeline. It’s a slippery slope. I think y’all should turn to Jesus first. Like actually go to church and dedicate your lives.
I feel like the meds still need some tweaking on this podcast. Matt was bouncing all over and speaking so fast. At times it felt like he was verbally running Abby over.
Sounds like he’s on way too high of a dose. It should not make him act and feel like he’s on speed/meth. He should be calmer. Maybe try half the pill next time. See what that does.
There is no way death can be humane😅and animals are not here for us…nobody can decide I think whose life is more important. I like your podcasts but please you guys are influencers and you need to think before saying stuff like this. At least research a little. We don’t even know where our food comes from or how those animals are killed and that is one of the leading cause of climate change. If you can’t encourage veganism at least don’t promote eating meat without any knowledge.
Obviously it is your guys choice for popcorn but the recommended age is 4 and up. My daughter gave it to her first two kids by 2, and they would start choking on it, so her last three she waited until they were 5 yrs old. I'm not a popcorn eater, so I didn't buy it for my three until they asked for it around 7 to 10 yrs old. Edit: When it comes to corn products like puffs, twists, and Fritos and Dortitos, ect is different because they don't have kennels or hulls to choke on.
There was a brand that makes what they call puff corn. It doesn’t have any of the hulls that regular popcorn has, it’s softer than a Cheeto Puff so it sorta melts in your mouth. I think that’s ok to give but not until 2-3.
The reason for this is that they can aspirate unpopped seeds, which can lead to an infection in the lungs. An ER dr told me she’s seen this several times. Hulless popcorn is fine.
a coworker of mine lost her 5 yo son because he accidentally aspirated popcorn and got a lung infection, he didn't even choke or anything, he only briefly coughed and was fine afterwards until he started getting sick :(
Cool video, My relationship of 5 years ended a month ago. The love of my life decided to leave me, I really love her so much I can’t stop thinking about her, I’ve tried my very best to get her back in my life, but to no avail, I’m frustrated, I don’t see my life with anyone else. I’ve done my best to get rid of the thoughts of her, but I can’t, I don’t know why I’m saying this here, I really miss her and just can’t stop thinking about her
Hey gary, you're gonna be okay ❤ I personally believe if she left you should not harass her. Instead create a tinder or hinge. I met my partner on bumble after a five year relationship and we stayed friends for a long time because we were afraid of getting hurt again. When we finally got together it was magyk. My point is you never lose the feeling you just grow and change into someone that someone else wants to love and thats ok. Let that other person love you and let her go. I know its easier said than done but seeing this advice to buy an online spiritual counselor sent me. You will be robbed. 😂😢😅
Matt's medication sounds like it's not right for him. You will definitely see a difference with 20-40 minutes of taking the right medication. Abby will definitely be able to tell.
Please dont get rid of the book stuff in episodes! I love books and would love to hear Abbys view on books. ACOTOR series is sooo good Abby and they just keep getting better. All of SJMs books are good!
So funny! My son is doing the same theme “Two Infinity & Beyond!”. Also no popcorn until like 5, one of the top 5 choking hazards for little ones under 5. ❤
Sorry I do have to laugh at this..they literally have a convo and film it..probably the best easiest money maker out there 😂😂 do u realise how good they get paid for this social media stuff?.. why do u think creators end up moving into large hokes and quitting any jobs they has prior before social media...
My “wedding” was $250 for an officiant and his photographer wife. I had just had a near death medical emergency and even though we had only known each other for a year and a half we decided we couldn’t live without the other person. It was at a small gazebo in a park next to the beach. It was just my husband and our blended family of three girls. I wore a $10 white lace dress I got from the thrift store, the girls were in their Easter dresses, and my husband was in khakis and a white button down. We had written our own vows, said I do, did a small photo shoot, and then took the girls to a Mexican restaurant for dinner. and it was the perfect little elopement! 4 years later and we've bought our first house, gotten a dog, had a baby boy who's almost a year old and everything is still wonderful! these 10s of thousands of dollars wedding just baffle me.
We took our daughter to the movie theatre at 2-2.5 and she did just fine. We sat her in between us and got all the snacks and treats and it was SO special. Do it, you won’t regret it. ❤
I would always take my son every weekend from the age of 4month and up, he did amazing but that’s because he’s used to loud noise, it never bothered him. My daughter is my second child and she doesn’t like loud noise so when we take her to the movie theater, it’s never like how it was with my son 😂😂😂 he have to bring out the phones/tablet just to get her distracted or ask my mom to babysit lol
I highly recommend watching the videos from the glass wall project. As someone in Agriculture its so disheartening to see false information spread on such a large platform. I love listening to you guys, and will continue to! Just wanted to put some truth into things. Also, per USDA and FDA laws any chickens used for meat purposes cannot be given hormones or steriods. Would love to chat with anyone wanting more information!
As a single mom I will say that I did not choose or hope for this life, but I am doing my best everyday and I do not miss a beat when it comes to my son. At times it can be isolating but podcasts like this make me feel happy and less lonely. Thank you for spreading your light.
Something that really made me feel icky about Nickelodeon after watching the documentary is the fact that all these shows were written exclusively by men for mostly teenage girls. The first episode of iCarly features Carly and Sam talking about their teacher's "pointy boobs," there's an episode of Zoey101 where Logan laughs about the word "breast" when they're talking about eating chicken breast, etc. There's another episode of iCarly where Carly says, "I'm getting curvier everyday" and Freddy says, "I know." I get that these are things that teens would say anyway, but it feels icky to me that grown men wrote the dialogue for teenage girls to say about their bodies and the bodies of other teen girls.
Icarly when Carly is getting Freddy out of the shower when he broke his leg, and then the other episode of Carly dating the “older bad boy” , her getting her toe stuck in the faucet, Spencer babysitter being weird w him. On Zoey 101, when they are decorating the thing in men bathroom, when Quinn made her Boobs bigger.
Matt, Sounds like it’s the wrong med for you. Abby, do yourself the favor and don’t do iPad over MacBook. I didn’t realize how much I couldn’t do on my iPad and I still needed to buy a MacBook.
I’m on the same page with them on catering food for kids’ parties. I made the mistake of trying to save $$ by baking the pizza myself for our daughter’s 1st birthday party. I felt like I was running around like a chicken with my head cut off cuz I had to keep baking the frozen pizzas cuz we only had 2 pans 🤦🏻♀️ For her 2nd birthday, we ordered pizza from Dominos, and we’re likely to do that again for her 3rd birthday 🥳
As a therapist, the reality is that most of the time by the time couples enter MC they’re already doomed. It really would be nice to see more new couples entering more often.
I love how genuine both of you are. My husband and I have been married for 17 years and are going through a marriage class within our church to be able to lead the same class in a few months. It has been such an incredible journey so far. Extending grace, communicating, and forgiving one another keeps a marriage so much stronger. Being careful with your expectations towards your spouse makes a huge difference. We`re all human and can`t expect each other to read one another`s mind so communicating those needs is crucial. Keep doing what you guys are doing!! LOVE YOU BOTH!! Also, Matt`s music is beautiful.
Matt, I feel like it could be detrimental to some young people to hear you sau "just do it instesd of combining finances... etc". Combining finances is not more detrimental than your purity and living the life Jesus callled you to. I just hope that isn't heard/understood wrong!
1:05:19 Matt literally saying they got married for sex in the last episode and now saying he doesn’t think you should do that because you should wait to really make sure it’s the right person lol
The trick to relationship longevity is starting fresh and choosing each other EVERY day, not because you said you would or because you feel bound by a piece of paper. You need to wake up and see the incredible person next to you. Why did you love them yesterday? It's still there today and I choose to wake that person up and see what kind of next level I can bring out of them.
Abby could be Bo Peep and Matt could be Woody! It would be SO CUTE! But you'd have to make sure you get the boys each a costume. Or at least a swim suit that fits the theme
You guys are so misinformed. I encourage you to visit a local family farm to see how the animals are treated. 97% of farms are family farms. Are there bad people out there that treat animals badly? Yes, and there are bad people in all aspects of businesses. We want what’s best for our animals and give our blood, sweat, and tears for them. It is illegal to sell meat in the US that has been raised with added hormones. All meat, poultry, and dairy foods sold in the US are free of antibiotic residues. This info comes straight from the government websites. Films like Seaspiracy misrepresent scientific findings to fit their narrative and a Google search will get you those answers. Funny how you say Costco chicken is pumped with hormones (wrong) but encourage lab-grown meat which is entirely unnatural.
He’s right!! They won’t remember! I’m sorry 😞 We took our kiddos to Disney for the first time at age 5 and 10. My five year old doesn’t remember much at all. 😢it was still fun but we should have waited a little longer!!😂
But, did your 5-year old have a good time? Like Abby said, even if they don't remember the experience, they will remember to joy they felt during childhood. And, if you got to experience their joy that day with them, then it was a positive experience for you ❤️. I personally do not remember my first Disney trip, but I love listening to my mom describe the fun that we had that day 🥰.
Matt it sounds like you need a different med for ADHD. My daughter was put on Concerta at age 7 and did great. From the comments you have made make it sound like you are taking Adderol. That is a little much for someone that just was diagnosed. Start small and then work your way up until you find what works for you. You also need to take it everyday during the initial "trying out meds" window of time. I am certainly no doctor but have way more experience with mental health diagnoses inckuding a child that has been on ADHD meds for 16 years, along with myself with mood stabilizers, anti-anxiety drugs, anti-psychotic drugs etc. If you are feeling zingy on your med it is not the right one. Adderall should not be the go to first drug to take. Also, please practice good medication, i.e. taking it on time everyday (until you can for instance not take it on the weekends, or over the summer like we did with my daughter) being aware of side effects, discussing those side effects, learning coping mechanisms through one on one therapy with a therapist that specializes in Adult ADHD.
We became a couple on 13 March and got married on the 13 September of the same year. We have been happily married for 22years . I don’t regret getting married at 22 after being together for 6 months. It was the best decision ever.
Do you really get to talk about how much $$ should or shouldn’t go into a wedding when earlier you were talking about hiring everything out for your kids 2nd birthday??? Like you’re about to drop 10k on a kids bday party they won’t ever remember and you’re over here judging people for spending lots of weddings?? Hmm
be very careful with popcorn, my coworker's son sadly passed due to eating popcorn, he didnt even choke or nothing, he just coughed, they gave him water and he was fine at first and then got an infection because he had popcorn in his lungs. He was 5
I purchased the sleep sacks after listening to Abby last year, used the discount, got the 0-6 and 6-12 sacks for my daughter's Christmas gift for her soon to be baby boy. She had her son in Feb. She loves the sleep sack always uses it at night time to give him that hug that Matt is talking about in this video.
Something that really works for sleep is a natural magnesium supplement called magnesium threonate. Worth looking into if you struggle to sleep. I first heard about it from a guest on Joe Rogan's show. It's brilliant.
Matt, you might want to look into adjusting your ADHD medication! Your dosage might be off, or it might not be the right brand medication for you. Some brands work better for certain people than others. It seems like your medication is working incorrectly for you.
You can tell matt didnt watch the first few episodes of quiet on set or i think hed have some more opinions...Amanda Bynes one characters name was Penelope Taynt for goodness sakes 😆...yeah Dan Schneider should have been worling for Cartoon Network Adult Swim or MTV wwith his crude humor...not Nickelodeon!
My husband and I did pre marital counseling and it was WONDERFUL! Now we know the tools we can lean into for our marriage and if we need more support and resources we know we can get help.
I can’t stand this couple. They love calling each other out and making the other look bad. Both are narcissists. I feel bad for their kids they seem to be all on themselves/
So true you cannot be careful enough with your kids. My husband worked in law enforcement and because of all of the situations he encountered, we never let our children sleep over at anyone's house. It happens all the time and the people you would never believe, family included, could betray you the most .
You may not actually remember things from before age 5 but it goes into your psyche, they are some of the most important years for healthy emotional development.
It's because he just spouts out any nonsense that comes to his head. But Matt has proven time and again that he does not truly know what he is talking about. Like he has done zero research to back up what he is saying. So he has no clue what he is even saying, as a result. If Abby dis thr research and then shared it with him, he would be like oh really! I had no idea. It's happened with other topics before.
