Your doing great mama!! Don't worry about anyone else's opinions, being a mommy is hard work. The days never end. There's always chores, always something you wish you could have gotten done around the house. I stressed myself out with my first 3 kids, with my last one I've just cherished every single moment, mess included. Enjoy this time while they are little, you'll miss it when they are older!
Who made the rule that one couldn't have a corn dog for breakfast? Who said that one has to eat cereal, oatmeal, pancakes, waffles, eggs, french toast? Breakfast is just breaking a fast. One is fasting when they are sleeping.
Not only are your kiddos so adorable and fun, they are so happy❤ That's because they are loved and nurtured! You are so patient, Joy, you are such a natural at being a Momma😊 Lots of work but oh so worth it! And, thanks for being real, others can relate to a normal life and it helps them not feel isolated and alone❤
It’s so cute seeing evie help make her breakfast and hearing her talk. The kids are so beautiful and precious. I loved seeing Gunner smile and laugh such a cutie.
they really are all so adorable, smart, & seem really well behaved. i think it's got a lot to do w how joy & austin work together as parents, their patience, & not sweating small stuff. I think they are the cutest kids of the Duggar kids.,but they don't show the others as much or at all. Joy &!Austin seem like really good parents!!!😊😊❤❤
You have a very nice family. Your children all seem very happy. I like your laid back personality. I wish I could be calmer like you. You're doing a great job. ❤
looks lots different from most moms i've seen w little ones. i don't ever recall being so patient all the time & doing so much. no wonder she's exhausted!
Joy I truly like yours and Austin’s channel, you really show the life you live and you should be proud of that. Most just portray it and that’s why some just can’t be authentic, which in fact they could but don’t. You and Austin are the most authentic two that I have the pleasure watching so for that I thank you 🙏🏻 Your children have two amazing parents. They are so smart and beautiful, Joy you are doing amazing job with them..!
@@KL-tz3cmShe still manages to cook them a meal, dress them and educate them. Of course she would be knackered with young children. I think she is showing 'real life not the polished up version that people try to push out there!
@@KL-tz3cmtired, maybe. Depressed? No, she doesn't. Anyone who has 3 small children gets tired. Why do you people project your issues onto these poor Duggar girls?
You're such a great mom! It makes my heart happy to see your beautiful family so happy and watching how awsome your family interacts in all of life's adventures. Good and bad. You have to be one of the most gracious, patient and passionate people who resonate true love and faith. Thank you for all the wonderful smiles you add to my day. I feel blessed to be a part of your lives from a distance. It warms my ❤❤
Joy, I think you have a beautiful personality. You're doing a good job with your kids! I loved homeschooling my five kids who are all grown up now. Enjoy this time in your life.
Honestly, according to the negative comments, Gideon needs to stop sucking his thumb, Joy needs to set alarm differently, get Gideon a "full breakfast" & time to wake up before school, don't set Gunner on counter without strapping him in which i'd bet he was, hang more pictures up, check for recall on an applesauce pouch, get evie some sausage corn dogs for breakfast or just let her have corn dog, get checked for depression, questioned what Austin does while she does EVERYTHING, & whatever other helpful tips. When you're a stay home mom, your husband typically does work all day & mine used to travel for days at a time so I did do it all round the clock for days. He is always helping & giving her break plus they put kids to bed early so they have alone time together. They're young. God designed this season that way so parents do have optimal energy. It's still very tiring but i know i wouldn't trade it for anything. She's blessed Austin makes enough money for them to have nice house, furniture, an RV, and Joy can buy new clothes and they take the kids to water parks & other places. I'd say they're doing everything right.
Your comment is such a huge breath of fresh air to read on here! I just imagine being that rude, and making the kind of criticisms that some people make of them. With the number of views they get, and up votes, and positive supportive people, and feedback from them, the naysayers are just a drop in the ocean. I think Joy and Austin probably just ignore them, as they should. Great comment! 👍😊
My Mom taught me: Say what you mean, mean what you say, but don't say it mean! Kindness makes both sides feel good😊 I get emotionally drained reading negativity in comment sections. Some people just pound out their anger on a keyboard directed at innocent people, it's ridiculous! Thank you for posting this! Naysayers need to think about their behavior and how it affects others feelings!!
I slightly disagree! People having kids young is a very old fashioned concept! In todays world most people go to college and universities, grad schools etc before they get married and have kids. In the 50’ and 60’ women stayed home to care for the kids and didn’t work nor have a higher education. Those days are long gone! If you want to have kids and a home you own and have nice things in life and prepare for retirement you better have a great education! If you don’t, you will never be better of than your parents!
Oh my gosh can Gunner get any cuter! What a chunk ❤😂 Joy, I like your flow . … work, and sit! At the end of the day you get all the mommy things done . I’m sure you enjoy your Bible time best with quiet and coffee. God bless the Forsyths!🙏🏽🤗
This video brought back memories of me when my three children were this age. Now, I wonder how in the world did I function, because I remember how very tired I was!! Lol…but I believe the Lord gives us just what we need to get through each season of life. God Bless you & your family, Joy. You’re a very good mother & your family is so precious!
I watched your family’s shows for years and years so thank you for still providing us updates! I appreciate the “real” nature of your content! Ignore the negative comments, and just keep doing the best you can mama! You’re doing great! Everyone has an opinion on how someone else should be living/doing life but it’s your life & your family! ❤
I have watched you for a very long time and I want to tell you, a day in the life from six months ago. You’re a good mom. You’re doing a good job. Mom of 4 in Branson. 😘
Enjoyed your day in the life of Joy and Austin. Thank you for sharing. That Gunner sure is a healthy eater. Loved seeing the other 2 children enjoying life.
yes this was fun watching what her day is like w 3 young kids. I love the way she talks so calm w them & gives them choices, like asking Gideon about what he wanted to wear. it's so nice that austin is able to come home in the day & the kids get to spend time w family! Joys a natural!!❤
Joy Anna, I grew up with square bales of hay and watching my Daddy and uncle's in the fields and those were the good old days. Really enjoyed your video and Gunner's getting so big. They all are as precious! Thank you for sharing your lives with us! Love y'all and God Bless You!❤️🎄
You really did perk up once the day started! Evy looks so much like Austin.... I saw that pants suit you posted on IG. I really like it, I ordered the one in teal. Your life is full and you are blessed!
I love how Joy & Austin interact. They seem to really work as a team with the kids especially. Austin's laid back personality complements Joys. I can't get over how well the kids get ready for bed. I've never seen any of them having a tantrum or whining.
Can't wait to see the new vlog and hope you guys have a great Friday afternoon and evening with the kids and a wonderful weekend ahead and can't wait to see a day in the life of a mom of 3 and by the way Joy you got this.
Joy, when my youngest child was about Gunners age we had him in an infant seat on a counter while we were having dinner, he pitched forward and had a very hard fall onto the floor. We rushed him to the ER, turns out he had no horrific injuries, but he did get two black eyes, this happened a couple of weeks before his grandparents were coming to see him for the first time, anyway, the point is, please don’t put your baby up high without him being buckled in.
It does happen. I worked as a nanny for a family who put their 4 month old on the counter while in her carrier. She somehow tipped or fell out of the seat and hit her eye on the corner of the counter. It was horrible seeing her with a black eye.
My first baby was born in 1963. She wasn’t very old, chewing on those teething biscuits. I had her strapped into one of the infant seats of the day, but had her on the floor. I was shocked to see that she had lost her biscuit and had managed to reach for it, going forward. She got it, she was on her tummy with the seat still attached to her, on her back. So glad I didn’t have her on a table or something.
my daughter has always been a bouncer/rocker, even as a baby. we strapped her in a seat and put it on table when we had dinner and she'd be halfway across table just from bouncing back & forth. you really do have to think ahead.
I love the homeschooling method of including a tutor who can provide some insight into Gideon's curriculum. Homeschooling is very stigmatized, but that's what I'd do if I ever had human kids. (My kids meow...) Public school was such a miserable and traumatic experience for me that I don't want that for my (human) kids.
Another thing that convinced me to homeschool if I have kids is "the school shooting talk" that every parent must have with their children. I refuse to send my children into a war zone just to get an education.
This couple obviously loves their kids and I'm sure they are considering/have considered every improvement idea some of you have suggested. I'm confident they are on top if it and am praying we can be more consistently encouraging to our fellow humans who are doing all they can to do the next right thing every minute of every day.
Hi Joy - thanks for this nice long video showing so much of your day. I know how it feels to have three small children. I had 2 boys and a girl also. They are grown now and i just had my 6th grandchild. Gunner is growing so fast. Take care and i will see you with the next video. Love you all❤❤❤
You’re such a good mama. Have fun with those kids now as they are little because they grow up so fast church air every second you have with them. Love you all. Have a great blessed day.
You’re doing great Joy. Just remember every season is different and sometimes its harder to put one foot in front of the other…. God really does have your back baby girl! You can do it Joy.
you're a fantastic mom!! you were definitely meant to be a mommy. you're doing great w your kids & they're absolutely precious! thanks for sharing your real day! ❤
I love that they call Austin’s mom Grandmother. That’s what I want to be called by my grandchildren (first one of his way)! I was raised by my dad and his mom - who we called Grandmother. I feel like it’s a nice way to honor and remember her.
I remember having 3 kids in diapers, 11 months apart before I was 21. I thought “ I can’t wait till I can sleep through the night”. Here I am, almost 64 and typically wake by 4:00am w/no alarm…..enjoy your babies as time really does fly. BTW Great job Momma!
Your a great mom and doing really good I have one kid and my house is a wreck I can't keep up lol I always wanna do but can never seem to bring my self to it and then it just gets worse and worse and then i just sit there still worrying about taking care of it but never can bring myself to it its horrible
Joy, the catch up game is a constant especially when the babes are little❤Dint swear the small stuff. I say my house is always clean, just not all at once 🎉
I also used to wake up before my kids but now wake up when they do because, like you, that’s just the season that I’m in. I have 6 kids 8 years and under. 😅 Thanks for keeping it real. 👏🏼
Joy & Austin you have a beautiful family. Gunner has grown so much. Gideon & Evie are so cute playing at Grandmothers house with their costumes. Joy you are a wonderful Mom. God Bless you all
I enjoyed watching your day in your life. You are a great mom. Easy to see that you love and care for your kids. I am with you on the comfy clothes. This time of the year, I live in sweatpants and leggings.
For your carpet to hold it down I found these things called ruggies and they don't damage your floor and they really do stick to your carpet to hold the corners down
Sounds like my house! The only thing I would change is the sound of the alarm , it being outside of my room. We’re in the construction business, and even with our youngest in our room for a while, he was the easiest to acclimate to it ,over the older youngins. Every child is different and every family is different. You’re doing a great job! Kuddos!❤
joy explained she kept in outside of the room bc she's a deep sleeper & might turn it off or sleep through it vs having to get up to turn it off. i've read that suggestion many times!
Joy! Gunner is so adorable 😍 You're doing an amazing job with the kids! I'm surprised 😮 you get anything done when they all get up at the same time. 😂 It really is okay to feed them non traditional breakfast foods in the morning. Also, at night 🌙 I love breakfast for dinner myself 🎉
Oh my word, I can’t believe the comments I’ve seen. Kind of the holier than thou type. 😱😱🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️. Joy, you do as you’re doing. When you need help you will ask for it. ❤
i think all 3 kids look alike in a certain way. they're the perfect combination of joy & austin. God has blessed you with such a loving family & beautiful, healthy children, & equipped you both w wonderful parenting skills for this busy season of life. it goes by in the blink of an eye though, & i know some wish their kids would grow up faster so they're more independent but to me this was the most precious stage of all and the time you can teach them the most. they all have such nice manners. it's obvious you & austin have loving marriage & do a great job parenting together. So happy for you! 🙏🙏
