The Parents Who Let Their Kids Do What They Want | Stacey Dooley Sleep Over 

Exactly what I thought. They say the kids were asked if they want to go to school, but they have no idea what school even is!

Yes exactly what what I was thinking g

Who says they aren't. Their parents expose them to all sorts of things. WE were only exposed to a (highly edited) glimpse into their lives.

this

You forget that kids are born already smarter than their parents.

So much agree. I always enjoy follow ups.

Shooting heroin in some alley and being thoroughly unpleasant

YES!

They are not the first family to unschool.

Probably still living at home with mum and dad taking care of them.

Right? Apparently, when they are home those kids spend most of the time glued at an I pad screen. That was the saddest part

The parents could be reading to them I was reading n writing when I entered K I couldn’t spell well tho. Drove my parents nuts asking for spelling words I was writing for a story-I have a memory lol

@@barbarad3869 I think that's the main reason why their idea of children educating themselves won't work. If they grew up on, say, a farm raising animals and cultivating plants and building things and watching their parents and neighbours read lots of books, do crafts, play instruments and get together to discuss anything from social issues to recipes, they would develop a natural interest in learning all kinds of things. But once you introduce screens, they are so addictive they'll obliterate any curiosity the child may have had. It's sad to see they don't even have meals together as a family. I'm not saying you can't learn anything from screens but would your 8 year old self have rather played Mario Cart or played learning games?

It doesn't always work though. I learned how to read that way but I read a lot to both of my kids and none of them has a particular interest in letters and their meaning, so my older son didn't learn until he started school at 6 and a half (we live in Austria so everything is play based until that age). It's kind of sad but my son had to be forced to learn how to read and write and the first year of school was a real struggle. I'm glad we came out the other end because now at almost 8 he finally realised how much indepence it gives him to be able to look up his science and biology stuff that he loves by himself and now he really enjoys school. If I had let him do what he wanted, he'd be doing Lego sets at a 12+ level but still wouldn't be able to write his name.

Same here. I read to all of them as babies, right on through the years. They all read above grade level at every age

Yes I can imagine adolescence being a reaally hard time for them

These parents should be jailed😅

You expressed the blessing of being able to read the written word perfectly. At 81 I still read constantly. With the internet thousands upon thousands of volumes of information is available. It’s really a dream come true. It is sad to think that Ully is missing out.

Right?! Same !! I say this as someone who did REAL unschooling. What she describes isn't unschooling or homeschool... it's CHILD NEGLECT.

Exactly! Learning to read is the base of learning at all! The stories and encyclopedies I read. Then internet - I didnt have internet acess till I was 14. Thanks to Internet I learned English, and now I can get new info from new sources! Its like unlocking new level. Totally random facts that ended up stuck in my head since I was kid, and at the end of the day shaped my common knowledge. These kids have absolutely no idea what can world offer, and its so sad.

I know right. The one thing she didn't monitor. She should have a little bit. L.O.L 😅 It's why I never told anyone what I was reading. My secret glorious world.

The ability to read, IS power.

Noticed your name I’m a Brotz too😊. Not many of us!

It does cut down on their message

People who are using the system .... would rather not .... if they were mentally able to solve their personal problems. But they are not able to. Therefore they are dependent on the system. Sometimes I guess we would be better of without the system. Some people are allowed to remain "in the system" for the rest of their lives. They are not met with any demands, and challenges that would help them start working and earning their own money again.

Either the system robs you or you rob the system.

@@VikingshopWhere I live you have too atleast apply for jobs (Show that they are trying) System still don’t care though wether you get that job or not as long as trying 🤦‍♀️ 🤦‍♀️

What was the nightmare? U wanted to study and they wouldn’t get u the materials? Or u just were ostracized among ur friends or lived way out and ur parents didn’t visit other fams so u had none? Or ur parents were drug users? Or just simple neglect no one paid attention to you, narcissism, some are extreme?

@@YeshuaKingMessiahyou don’t really need to know her details do you. I’m sure she tells her therapist and you aren’t hers.

@@YeshuaKingMessiahwell the nightmare is exactly what she just said! No rules. Because rules in childhood give much needed stability. Kids need this stability, they need to know when it’s time for bed and when to wake up… they need a schedule to feel secure. Of course they need freedom and have to have a say in it! BUT they need their parent’s rules as a support system. Because in this household they have to be the "leader" they are entirely on their own and whatever the decision they make… even if it might harm them… their parents won’t reassure them or guide them into a better future! There are countless of parenting guides that have already shown us that a set of easy and understandable guide lines are crucial for the development of children and that is completely natural! Children, just like animals(!), have a natural drive to learn the way their species is supposed to behave and what to do. It gives them security when faced with challenges because they got a few "key behaviours" they can use to take on that challenge and master it! Animals reprimand their kids just like humans this is how we learn! There is nothing wrong in listening to your kids interests and indulging them, but that’s not what’s happening here! For example a kid taking an interest to dinosaurs would have the parent finding books in that topic and reading them to or with the child.. researching the topic and thus throw in learning how to read and write, something about history and geography as well as about evolution… But those parents here? They just put their kids outside and say "run off learn something about being g physically active and smell this plant while you’re on it!" Those kids can’t "self learn" or develop an interest when they aren’t exposed to things they might inquire about!! It comes off as lazy parenting!

@@DillRidge she put it out there I’m following up It’s how public forums work, dear For self therapy, keep a journal

Mmm there can be huge differences though... were your parents as present as them, as loving as them? I don't think their kids will need therapy

No child "wants" to brush their teeth every time, but their teeth will be rotted and gnarly if they aren't taught to care for them, setting them up for a lifetime of dental issues. Rotting teeth could lead to heart problems, which could quite literally kill them! I can understand wanting to encourage inquisitiveness and exploration but parents also need to instill stability, structure, and good habits. These kids may not fare so well as adults.

Exactly👏🏻

hahahahahaha. So true.

And finding bugs will get them far. More sense to be made

They would probably have their own homestead farm if they saved money previously to having children. But that's not the case for now.

​@@joycedominguez8997They can become a reseacher studying insects later in life. A lot of kids have an interest in smaller animals-frogs, small reptiles, insects,

It IS abuse. And neglect

​@RainRemnant in the U.S., it's considered neglect and will get your children taken from you. These parents are ignorant to the fact that they're doing a huge disservice to their children and their capability on becoming productive members of society.

Amen to that

@@desertqueenaz7895 What world would that be? I‘m all for homeschooling and gentle parenting but the eldest is 8 and can’t read or write and lacks basic manners as far as basic skills go he has none.

​@@desertqueenaz7895not any world. They wont be able to have jobs etc.

I totally agree when a child at the age of this boy can’t even spell his own name, yes that’s a setup for failure not even know basic English grammar like ur vowels, it seems these 2 grown adults are only concerned with what they want they want to be different but these kids won’t be under 10 years old forever unless u got hoarders of cash somewhere to outdo these dumb children ur creating it’s beyond stupidity to me. The parents are grown obviously can spell ur own name.. it’s sooo narcistic to the point of unbelievable! Like I don’t even understand how the law allows them to raise nomads and it’s acceptable! I think those 2 lazy parents willing to live off of taxpayers , they are so fine with that! Why do I HAVE to work to support ur fairytale life! These are abusive parents in the worse way .deprieving ur children from learning to spell and print ur own name! That alone speaks for itself,why is that government willing to pay for a strapping ambled man and woman? So it’s the system of government that created these monsters and my hard work to keep them funded! That isn’t just whatsoever

100 percent agree

A regular 8 year old not being able to spell his own name is atrocious.

@@loveanimalsmost2134 very atrocious

I 100% agree with you! 👍

I agree 100% with your comment.

The schooling destroyed that curiosity and desire to learn in my youngest son..,

Love your response. Too many just tow the line or also shun everything.

It seems like this approach is better suited to a situation like yours- your child is self driven to learn and figure out a subject expertise, but I do like that you noted social learning is important and part of school. Hopefully you can find a nice balance that works for your family, the best of both worlds. Seems like you have a scientist in the making!

​@@w8what575can't agree more here - as op said, there should be a balance. But the school system where I was growing up did nothing but progressively suck the life out of me and my peers. I saw everyone gradually declining in motivation, the sparks in their eyes slowly fading. By the time we graduated it felt like we were zombies compared to how we started.

Yes, babies need lots of floor time!

I agree, human babies are not like puppies or kittens who already knows how to swim and can hunt by instinct

​@@tettivestberg2989and these babies are doing neither of these things.

Kids as Well as adults needs structure and rules to be able to live in socity and to be able to live among others without beeing all about Them!

Agreed

The schoolsystem prepares you for a job, that benefits the economie, it teaches to obey, it is not to devellop happy smart people. I hate school and im 50😂. I feel so sorry for my kids.

this

I think they're just being lazy to be honest . . . it's hard work to get and keep children on a schedule, make sure they get an education, properly fed, teach them how to socialize and discipline them when they do something wrong . . . a lot easier, letting their kids do what ever they want, go to bed and eat what ever they want, when ever they feel like it and let the kids decide what they want to learn. . .wonder if their kids will be very grateful, when they end up growing up with no basic or social skills and no concept of laws or common sense . . .

O 7:30 ​@@grandmamarie7398

I have a friend who is the oldest of nine children. Their parents homeschooled all of them, and none of them graduated or received a diploma/GED. One of them likely has an undiagnosed learning disability. My friend cleans homes for a living because she can’t find anything that doesn’t require a GED. There is nothing wrong with that as a career choice if it’s what you’ve specifically chosen, but it’s sad that her options are so limited. Her parents did them all such a disservice.

The love will win at the end. Eventually these kids will go through a puberty period along with the anger and disillusionment toward their parents for NOT having given them clear boundaries and discipline. They will hate their parents for a while. If everyone can get through that phase they'll end up ok. But yeah, it's going to be a lot harder for these kids to learn some things. Maybe.

That REALLY hit me, just wrong. Nutrition is soooo important for strong immunity.

I agree ESP if you do injections or not. Nutrition first

They ate a lot of healthy food too, if you noticed, at the beginning. Having pizza for breakfast once in a while isn't wrong.

Why isn't life about doing things you want to do? Shouldn't it be about enjoying and having fun? We only live 70 years if that...

@@kittenspuppiespsychictarot3873 I agree with you to a certain extent. But my point was that I think she's teaching him that he can always do whatever he wants. I do what I want when I can but I'm also an adult. I wasn't always given the choice to do what I want and so i didn't grow up entitled. He has to learn that he can't ALWAYS do what he wants. That's all I'm saying. :)

@@Girlhead yes 👍 agree with that

​@Girlhead I believe they are teaching it is okay to only do what you want it is your life, but as long as you also respect others' choice to do what they want. Which doesn't necessarily mean they will grow up entitled. At least not any more than the parent who gives the child everything. Which they aren't they are just allowing them to make decision for their own life. I am sure as they get older, they will find more motivation in achieving the things they want in life and adjusting as needed. I find I am much more motivated to learn the things I actually want to learn, than anything I was forced to learn. Only time will tell really, though.

Well, I think that some of the elements of this parenting are pretty cool they do also have to learn that there are structure and rules in the real world and that you will be told no by jobs by bosses and there will be boundaries. People do have boundaries and you will have to respect others boundaries you will also have to respect, limitations and rules, and, when you go to the airport or a job or someone else’s home, you have to understand that you just can’t do whatever you want to do. I’m also curious how the parents react if the children would do something that’s not appropriate in public like stealing, do they teach them things that are right and wrong or if they hit another child because they felt like it? There are fundamental things you need to teach children about functioning in a society. They need to understand rules and regulations to some extent and when it’s OK to be free and have their way unsafe as in no touching the stove or not to make certain chemicals together. Learning the hard way sometimes can be deadly.

Agree100%

In America they’d be on the street, homeless, cause all our resources go toward the millions of illegals coming across the border!

It's illegal in England too! I just googled it... school is compulsory from 5-16. I want to know how they're getting around it. If Ulyses cannot spell his name at 8 yrs old he HAS to be faililng the required benchmarks for his grade level (which would be grade 3rd grade). How are these parents not in prison???

The parents are utopian, they home school and maybe the kids aren't prepared for a life beyond the sort of freedom inside the house, maybe will exist only on benefits too.

It's also illegal in Portugal. School here is mandatory from 6 to 18 yo. This is child neglect.

Lol..right? What a cliche.

I would LOVE to know

Duh, kids will grow an interest by things they come across in life. He came across someone who put an emphasis on reading, thus how he became interested in it

Children learn to read because they are read to, because they live in societies that have words and things that require reading, because they are curious. Children learn naturally. Unschooled children definitely have the tools they need to make it in the world. Higher education institutions usually really enjoy having home-schooled, which can include unschooled, children because they are intelligent, out of the box thinkers with unique experiences, ideas, and perspectives.

​​@@suzannenorton3807 children don't learn to read naturally though. We know this because there are still illiterate people in the world who were never taught to read, despite being in a world surrounded by words. The Pandemic caused a setback for children. They're taught to read between kindergarten and first grade. But many children never received those fundamentals, and are struggling with basic reading today. My mother is a reading teacher. People take for granted the years they went from being read to-- to being a reader themselves. We take for granted the importance of our own literacy. I'll also add that the government used to count on the fact that poor people and minorities couldn't read well enough to vote, which is why the electoral college exists. So that only the wealthy and most educated -white- men were voting for office. But when the rest of the country learned to read, it was a game changer and rocked elections. To your other point, I was a home schooled individual. I don't think any college I applied to cared that I was homeschooled. Only that I had good enough grades, and could keep up academically.... and I couldn't keep up socially, I'll tell you that much!

some kids just dont want to read but reading to them is a encouraging moment for them to start to want to learn theres actually nothing wrong with this family at all just the education thats all the dads gives them really good foods as u can see is well

Follow up this family 5 yrs time & 10 yrs time & see whst& how happenef to thrir children's progress if any.

Baby is slwsys fussing. Is baby hungry 😢 or not happy...

I came here to say the same thing, it's the lack of reading and writing skills and basic maths that really bothers me. Some children may be naturally curious in all areas but for example my 7 year old wouldn't touch a pencil until he absolutely had to. He just had zero interest in drawing and even less in writing, loved to be read to but didn't care about reading at all. If I had asked him if he wanted to go to school, he'd definitely have preferred to stay home doing Legos all day and he'd still be doing that now he's almost 8. But instead, even though it was hard for him to learn how to write, now he's really happy he can read his comic books all by himself and he's starting to discover that writing little notes and letters can be fun too. And of course he's making friends in school, improving his social skills etc, that's another thing they are depriving their children of. I'm not saying school is a must but children need to interact with more than just their parents and siblings.

I thought the kids ate very healthily. Would you be concerned if it was a "normal" family eating each dinner "normal" food, like hamburgers, fries, pasta etc. I know so many kids with a bad diet. I think at least these kids are eating their vegetables. Also, time will tell if he wants to learn to read and write. It's too early now to say that. If he doesn't maybe he will work on a farm where he doesn't need this skill. It will be his own choice weather or not he wants to learn it. He can't blame anyone because he knows he is the captain of his ship. Not his parents, not his teachers. He will learn that he is responsible for himself. So if he can't read and that bothers him, he can still learn it. And if it doesn't bother him, why should it bother us?

All these anti-vaxxers suddenly have medical degrees. I've worked in medicine my whole life, and I know that there needs to be more research done to investigate illnesses and medical problems. None of that research involves social media.

I was looking for that comment 😀. And also: there are thousands of children that have died of measles and that were breast fed, aka have gotten their mum’s antibodies, as she said. I wonder what they’d do if one of their children had an accident and a brain bleed. Oregano? I’m aghast.

@@UsernamesForDummies The mum's antibodies last only for a very short time. That's why immunization programs start at 4 months of age. The parents in the video are deluded, and un-vaccinated children can spread illness, oregano or not!

Yeh holy crap 😆 I fear that I may have sprained something, from my massive eye roll 🙄

She actually said that she has done her research and on social media she shares that info. It was a run-on sentence. She wasn't saying she researches on social media.

If they really want to live life THEIR way, they should buy a plot of land in the country, build their own home, set up their own grid and 'live off the land' (like some do) and not 'live off taxpayers'.

I find it interesting they want to travel but don't want to work.

I think that’s a stupid reason to evict someone

@@bethgramkow5225 _Interesting_ is one way to put it. Lol.

@@jojobee42 only if you mean in more ways to fail. Or more dental health problems.

Personally, as a mother, and especially when I became a single mother, I struggled deeply with feeling like I was missing out on watching my daughter grow. I got my tax return, put back several months rent, and quit..never looked back. I’m now a stay at home mom who takes care of the pets and house (luckily for me, my partner makes enough to support us) and I’m so grateful for the opportunity I have. I’m glad I can say I spend everyday with my daughter that I get. I don’t dream of laboring jobs, I dream of raising my family. What makes me different than them, if anything?

In many countries, formal schooling doesn't start until age 6 or 7. There is no disadvantage in that, by age 10 they have caught up with the children in other countries who started earlier. But if an 8 year old can't even spell his own name and even seems a little embarrassed about it, you need to step up as a parent. The child may not be interested in learning how to read and do math but can't understand what his life is going to be like without these basic skills. The Neverending Story comes to mind, when the main character is told to "do what he wants" and loses himself more and more until he realizes it doesn't mean "do what you feel like right now" but "find out what you really want and how to get there"

You can do this until about 7.. that’s when children are ready to begin focusing on academics..

Many countries practice this until 4 to 5 years old. Co-sleeping is also normal.

@@annaf3915 Learning to read and to express oneself through writing during peak developmental windows means greater learning capacity overall- there's an exponential effect. " Catching up" indicates lost benefits overall. Music lessons would do much to mitigate a late start in reading.

@@sheri4673 Actually one of the advantages of starting academics later, like in Northern and Central European countries, is that children spend more time drawing, singing and doing crafts at daycare before they start school at 6 or 7. There are many studies about the benefits of extended play and voluntary learning. It is also easier to teach a 7 year old math than a 4 year old so I don't see "catching up" as a disadvantage.

And so he can mansplain the meaning of life to other ppl.

He’s lazy.

Very not normal behaviour Maybe ok in some countries but not all.

I'm sure the dog doesn't get adequate vet care, either. Dogs don't "decide" to fast. If he's not eating, he's not well!

The dog "decides" to fast! He looked at his dogfood and said, "Nope, not today! I'm getting too fat!". What a joke, they won't even get veterinary care for their pet.

I've had a good number of dogs in my life. None of them ever "fasted".

My heart goes to all the animals that are intensively farmed and killed to feed a man-made mutant called "dog".

Very entitled spoiled behavior.

Just wait until they are teenagers. They will be running wild!

The mom is "educated" because she's on "social media". What a joke. She doesn't even know how much she doesn't know...This world requires education and literacy skills, along with self-discipline. Children feel most safe when there are routines in the household. Without any rules or routines, how are they going to manage in our society? Get benefits, of course!

Also, pharma profits way more of very sick people than one little shot of vaccine... horrible to not protect your kids and at the same time endanger the rest of society as well

Not to mention that they are laws for reasons and the people who enshrined them into law didn't do so just because they wanted to. They did so based off of the advice of medical professionals.

Don't be upset. There are countries where no vaccination is mandatory. In my country there are about 8 mandatory shots until you are 18. In Sweden 0 is mandatory. In the USA it is counted in tens. Advantage? What I want to say is that your immunity is built by many ways, as well as bad life habbits matter so much that no vax, no pills, nothing from the outside can beat this.

No need...The parents are detach from reality. They must not have Child Protective Services in UK.

Yes, i dont like school, but if you can read you can learn anything, and enjoy yourself. So that is realy important. And learning at home can be be more comfortable then at school.

This type of negligent parenting is the dumbing down of the Western society.

This will make it easy for the Chinese to take over the rest of the world as long as we just sit back and let the other industrialized nations become more powerful we will soon all be speaking Chinese.

Many cultures eat with their hands.....I was married to a Hindu and we lived with his family and I soon adapted to their ways. When I came back to NZ I found eating with utensils horrible. They spoiled the taste of the food. Our kids ate by hand as well. Have you never eaten a sausage roll with your hands? Biscuits or a piece of cake? Fish and chips? Sweets?

@@juanitarichards1074that’s even different than what is being noticed here. They are simply not giving these kids any skills and I think the way they let these kids eat is totally different than being in a culture or eating food with your hands. These kids are just not being taught anything at all. These parents didn’t share a cultural way to eat with their kids or have any good reasons for them to eat that way ie food tasting better etc. they only do so because their parents won’t even teach them something as basic as eating with a fork or even eating with their hands but being clean and still having manners. It isn’t the same thing. I don’t think anyone would even notice the eating with hands if they weren’t just doing so simply due to their parents inability to teach them anything at all. They are just lazy parents altogether so of course that will be noticed plus they aren’t even saying to them to wash up for dinner first they let them play outside where animals go potty then just let them go at dinner. No medical attention so then that leaves those kids at high risks of getting very ill and even losing their lives. Also I’ve seen those who eat everything with their hands but they still have manners, they still show cleanliness and this is absolutely not the same thing with this family here. They are simply lazy.

At least they won't be travelling with three kids because they won't be able to afford it

That really upset me because I volunteered at a health clinic in Sierra Leone and updated the patient files. So many files that hadn't been updated in a while belonged to children who had died of Malaria when they were young. Of course when you travel through Africa, you see older children and adults getting Malaria and recovering fairly quickly, but that's because they've had it 20 times before. You don't see the ones who passed away. At least for Sierra Leone, you need to prove you were vaccinated against Yellow Fever to even enter the country. But the thought that they might want to drag their children from country to country without health insurance and a sufficient budget is scary.

what's the name of that documentary, if i may ask

@@selobee4831 the name of the documentary is “Surfwise.”

Not to mention the internet does not forget and at least one of the three will be incredibly embarassed and filled with hate and loathing of their parents for subjecting them to this permanence of embarassment even if their name was not provided - data and info will be existing forever

This is highly unlikely to be the result of their upbringing.

I think the parents in this case aren't understanding the part of child lead education that involves the actual education. It's not just letting your kids be feral...you still have to teach, you just do it in a way that uses life experiences as opportunities to learn and practice skills. This is just zero education. If you don't school, you must still teach. This is just babysitting. There's no teaching, no learning, no effort.

But how will the child learn something they’ve never seen or experienced? These parents give them nothing to learn about. These children look very bored with life.

They aren’t offering the kids real educational opportunities.

Socialization: Sit at a desk, listening to a teacher, then do your work. Outside of the classroom, be bullied or bully your classmates. Never interact with anyone but your own age and development. Real socialization involves multiple generations: Young folks 18-20’s work alongside 30/40’s and 50-60’s. Children are missing out from when society had one-room schools.

​@@salauerman7082 you are right, school isnt a good setup for socialising. But its better than the nothingness the kids in this video seem to experience

Kids learn really fast. The rules aren't hard to understand bur kids that have been brought up like this often have great self confidence and self belief. We don't just believe what we are told either.

​@@mulligatawnysoup9281But other children are usually pretty blunt. They'll shun the weird kid who doesn't know what's expected socially. Poor socialization affects everything - job opportunities, friendships, romantic relationships, financial opportunities.

I went to school and I was shunned for being different . It was horrible and didn't help me one bit, but one of the three brothers that didn't go to school is a millionaire club and restaurant owner( with Michelin stars). He didn´t learn to conform to other peoples expectations of him, and just always did what he felt like doing. Very successfully. The other brother didn't do so well but I don't believe that our school system is the only way to go. I did send my daughters to school. They are both at uni now. I am just saying, from experience, that not conforming to the norm isn't always bad. Especially when the norm is eating fast food and playing computer games. All of my family questions the status quo and think very independently which I think is a very good trait. We don't just believe what we are told because we know that not everything presented to us is in our intererest. @@ChiCityLady

@@mulligatawnysoup9281but how old will they be when they lead this lesson? Kids? Teens? Adults? I feel if the parents keep this up they will end up with runaways or late teen children who will fall into depression when they have to engage with the rest of humanity on an adult level.

@@mulligatawnysoup9281 kids learn very fast depending on age or situations. I’ve seen secluded kids learning social skills by 35 years old. That was fast AF 😅

This has always been the biggest lie of communism... not to mention that you ARE giving all the power of decision to the goverment

Also, who is going to work in the factories and in the shops, who is going to fix your car when everyone is at home with their kids.

He believes *_they should be able to_* not *_they must be forced to_* and the difference is huge. I wholeheartedly agree with him. I'd still be a teacher in his ideal world but I'd be able to choose my hours and days depending on my wants and needs and the same would apply for everyone else. That's a fantastic idea.

@@availanila so if everyone chose their own hours and no one wanted to to work the weekends, then what?

@@jbh666 people aren't inherently lazy and "weekend" is a social construct. If no concept of workday/weekday was enforced there'd be no concept of weekend. Also, with how other religions work we'd have Muslims taking Fridays off, Adventists and Jews Saturdays off and Christians Sundays and just like that people are covering for each other. And also, a lot of non-essential works shut down for weekends and holidays anyways so no bog deal other.

Yes, I see mostly judging of this family as wrong in the comments

The homeschooling community in the U.S. is getting bigger and bigger. I completely disagree with you. I’d like to see the data that backs up your claim.

I am a lawyer in Germany and I agree with you. Every child (14+) that faced charges seemed like they never heard "No" in their life. The parents are allowed to speak before the verdict in Germany and every parent said the exact same thing "surprised because we always did what the child wanted". Some children even screamed at their parents in the courtroom.

@@nadjadavidson411 There is a big difference between homeschool and the unschooling/let your child do any and everything they want lifestyle.

@@nadjadavidson411she’s not speaking to homeschooling It’s about not being told - you will now or no. Those parents are utterly exhausted let me tell u - by entitled kids Homeschooling is literally teaching & chores & routines along with exploring n free time

Great observations

They're a pair of lazy dossers

Their allotment garden looked like an over-grown disaster. Grow all your vegetables there???

I don't know, the house seems to me uncleaned, as if the carpet is never vacuumed. It also seems that they read the same book over and over again and the kid just memorized it. I agree, the garden looks unkept, like the one where rodents live 😕

The baby with the necklace on almost gave me a panic attack. Very unsafe for a baby to be wearing something like that around their neck.

Yes 🙄😳😅🤨....

and they're totally failing that child. My parents just made sure I didn't die. (for the most part.. we often wandered off and they never were involved with our schooling. we were to just go and then asked later if our homework was done. never checked. I was a BRILLIANT........ C student. Now at 54 I have worked retail my entire life, have not one dime saved because I always worked paycheck to paycheck. I never have motivation to do anything extra. It's literally built into my psyche. THIS is what this kind of parenting does. Oh.. and I could have been an A+ honor roll student, I could have went to law school or even been a mechanical engineer making 6 figures. Buthere I am struggling to pay the bills making minimum wage in an industry I've been in for 30+ years. THANKS MOM AND DAD! smh.

​@@Kristinapedia although I agree with u - at some point u have to take accountability & you've literally had 30+ years to do something different. When u were young it was easy to get a house , u could have either sold your house & gotten a cheaper one , or got a cheap one to begin with , go to school part time or especially a trade school which is not near as expensive & u could be making 6 figures. It's your choices that led u where you're at. If you'd been investing even $200 per month collecting interest u could have over a million dollars. Granted I guess you're saying because of how u were raised is why u never done any of these things but like I said at some point u have to take accountability. There's plenty of people whom had absolutely terrible childhoods who end up being successful. These children in the vid are absolutely are being set up for failure & laziness though & it's sad

I don’t think so, when you are in a home with parents that are lazy, its affects some children in different ways. We are not the same, so we learn to be someone without motivation and the way to progress because our brain has only learned what we see and hear. It’s a learned experience, and that is all this kids have. So when you say, you could have done something different, learn something new, so she could have gone to be a lawyer nurse dr. Whatever, you have to learn it first. I mean the brain. Everything is possible but, we need to train our brain to learn how to learn basically. I think you can still do something amazing, a nurses aid, it’s a great career and you are not too old to learn. I hope that you have some in your life that tells you, you can do anything in life as long as you want to learn and the work.

@@WarmongerYT”could have” doesn’t help anyone. Yeah, it’s important to take responsibility but why tell someone about a past they still can’t change instead of telling them what can be done with the time they DO have??

What’s different in this than a stay at home mom relying on her partner to bring home the funds? (Obviously these kids aren’t your average and these parents aren’t either, I’m not speaking of the schooling or parenting, specifically, the funding only, and I’m asking this question AS a SAHM so would love the context of how this is exactly different in everyone’s mind)

@@sullyrane653 both parents don’t work a real job….. they’re expecting society to fund their lifestyle. That’s absurd. Each household should fund its own choices. You’ll never convince me I should have to carry the weight of two able bodied, fully capable adults and their children plus my family as well. I’m sorry adulthood is hard for him and traditional 9-5’s aren’t “fun”, but if he can’t find success in entrepreneurship, he needs to think of how to properly support his children. Being a stay at home mother requires an in home partner to go out and provide the living of two workers. I would know, for a time, my husband did this as there was no other way for us due to his work schedule. I now work and he has changed jobs so he can be home every day. We both support our household and we both always have. It’s never been easy, but it’s insane to think of our lives being the responsibility of strangers simply because the idea of work fatigues us.

Lol!!!!! Wait, you're trying to say that he's the absurd one??????🧐🤨😆 Mmmk

@@sullyrane653SAHM isn’t married to the state She has a spouse out earning an income while she works for free alllll day into evening n while they’re on vacation n while she’s ill or injured

I agree it’s not at all ok how he is eating - showing serious signs of phychological problems - as you say feral

Kids are all in benefits!!! Even though their parents did not pay in anything!!!

​@@chrisljieunThat figures because they have neither the knowledge nor the mentality to hold a job.

Anka, are you just taking a complete stranger´s throwaway commit as fact????? You certainly didn't learn to think for yourself?@@ankavoskuilen1725

@@ankavoskuilen1725The kids are under 16 so they can’t get a job, I follow them on social media. They still aren’t sending the kids to school, they also posted about letting their kids brush their teeth whenever. They post a lot about being anti-trans, anti-school, and they are facing another eviction.

100%!!! They shouldn’t use pave roads!!! They shouldn’t go hospitals when they get sick. They are family of leeches!!!!

Yeah, his comment about all parents staying at home was wild. No parent working means no money. At least they can get a part time job, I don't think that would be detrimental to their kids, but teach them some kind of independence and let them know the parents won't be there forever.

Exactly. What does this family contribute to society? The children have been denied medical and dental care. At some point the children are going to get sick because of this neglect, and they may spread infectious diseases to vulnerable members of society. Measles, Mumps, Rubella, Influenza.

I think those children have parents who care about them and are really trying to make their lives good. If I was you I would spend my time and energy feeling sorry for the neglected children that spend their days playing video games and eating processed food.

@@mulligatawnysoup9281 they literally answered "pizza" when she asked them what they had for breakfast 💀

Nailed it. This woman will keep popping out a human so she can keep hiding away from reality on the government. These seniors from the 60s and 70s are homeless now because they never thought about the future.... I was in therapy for 12 years as a result of this Free model of parenting. I met a guy at work who for his age was super efficient and over productive, we had coffee and he said "I've always had to be like this my parents were hippies". We swapped our general life stories and both of cried for each other and all the other fkd up kids being raised like this because we were feral and had to pay so much attention to others in conforming families to learn all the social stuff we missed.

​@@mulligatawnysoup9281but... they're playing video games ( hours on the tablet) and eating processed food (ice cream, Oreos, etc)

Most of the comments are not very open minded

Bravo! Very well said. It's good to step outside of one's bubble and have an open mind.

I was searching for that comment! Thank you! I worked with a lot of children in different ages and I‘m pretty sure the son already has some developmental issues. I mean it makes sense when the parents don’t put any effort in the Brain development of their children. What’s going on with his hands next to his face all the time? I think unschooling can look very different than that. More like you explained here. And I think as a parent you are able to support their curiosity to different things like for example reading or writing. Nobody talks about that the kids eat icecream for Breakfast, lunch and Dinner. That’s just not healthy and how do the kids know about this when they never wanted to know about this? I‘m shocked to be honest.

You can absolutely let you kid be free and explore, play and relax after school or the weekends. I totally agree
