Why Is Building Toys So HARD?!? 

I do feel this!!! There was one year my mom saw me getting upset at the toy and instructions that I was putting together for my son. She poured me a shot of brandy and told me to calm down 🤣🤷‍♀️🎄🎄🎄

My husband and I got divorced 3 times while building our daughter’s big girl bed she got for Christmas when she was 2. It’s a Christmas memory I’ll always treasure ❤😂😂😂😂

We had to put a trampoline outside my sister's window so she could see it when she woke up in the morning. One of the corners was bent enough that we needed to use a mallet. This was at 2am Christmas morning after quite a bit of eggnog and wassail. The banging woke the neighbor who came to help with his welding equipment. As far as we knew, she never woke up.

Can we all just appreciate this woman's amazing voice?! 🥰

I remember my brothers feeling like this, ☺️. They are all engineers of one kind or another and, since I am a single mother, they put together all my son's toys for me. The things they muttered during assembly really cracked us up.

One year my parents bought me the horse-girl equivalent of a doll house. Story has it that my dad opened the box Christmas Eve and loudly declared that he couldn't put it together as the county was not open to issue the building permit. He and I spent the week between Christmas and New Year's assembleing it together. All eleventy-billion pie was of balsa wood.

This is so true! We got my niece the LOL Surprise OMG doll house last year and it literally took me like over 6 straight hours to build😅 And I only had one screw driver that was as big as my pinky to use so I got like 2 blisters on my hand🙄 The things we do for our loved ones😂

I needed this video! I needed a good laugh. My five year old and I just had a 30 minute stand-off about cleaning up her toys that were all over my room. I kept my cool the whole time, but whew, I needed a laugh.

Somehow my family mostly avoided toys that needed assembly but we did have the epic Barbie jailbreak every year after we were done opening presents where my dad would get out his multi-tool pocket knife and just spend an hour unboxing Barbie dolls and commentating on all the security upgrades that had been added to the packaging since the previous year.

I feel the pain and frustration. Smart to do this before Christimas. Nothing is more exhausting than trying to figure out something like this, with a small child waiting to play (or help) ....or climbing on you while you are trying to assemble something for them, after you are already exhausted by all the other holiday things. (And yes holidays are at times exhausting, because they require a lot of energy. so saving yourself from spending "assemble energy" on the day is really really really smart 😘😘)

One year we gave my daughter some big plastic monstrosity ( I don't even remember what it was) that said some assembly required. As my husband and I struggled to put it together, my dad remarked, more like total assembly required. The only thing you didn't have to do was pour the plastic in the molds!

Your voice is a blessing and this was sooo funny.

Once again I have to comment on your voice .... it's incredible! The vibrato ... the inflection, truly beautiful! Now ... for children's toy building ... if I can't pay extra for the store to build it or if the child is too young to build it themselves .... it simply doesn't come into our home!!! Many years ago, I spent hours putting together a bmx bike - even had to put the pin stripes and decals on it only to find that upon trying to complete the final step of installing the pedals ....the holes weren't threaded!!! The entire gear and brake assembly had to taken apart in order to take back the bad part and get a new one from the store! To say the least ..... NEVER AGAIN! 🤣

Haha I love this! I needed this last year when I was building my daughter's big plastic car (the ones that they can sit in) she got from Santa.

It seems they make it extra hard with kids toys. Give me dressers, furniture, cabinets & I can put it together in no time but kids toys 🤪🤣✌️

"Your mom must not have loved you, sorry dad did not come back engineEeEerRrRr!" 🤣🤣

More music please, you guys are so talented! 🎶 ❤ Thanks so much for the real relatable content, especially around the holidays when everyone else is all ✨perfect family✨

This reminded me of a story my mom told me about a playhouse I had as a kid. The Christmas I got it my dad went to put it together my dad opened the box, took the instructions out and showed them to my mom who was filming this and said "See these? I dont NEED these." And tossed it. He had to rebuild it 6 times because he built it wrong.

Just to add please check the new toys battery requirements and buy a mountain of them I know the shops are shut for only a day but not having the right battery can cause Christmas misery for the household good luck everyone!

Bought my kiddo a dollhouse last Christmas. Unfortunately, I couldn’t bring it when we moved cross country. I’ll always have the fond memories of putting it together. 😂

Oh! Putting these things together is my JAM!!!

This was HILARIOUS! I did not really identify with this, as I’ve always found these kits delightfully fun to assemble. I have a degree in engineering.😂

Reminds me of my father when he'd attempt to "assemble" me and my sisters' toys when we were kids; something would always get damaged in the process due to his lack of patience and no desire to read instructions. 😆

yeah toys, baby toys, and other stuff are hard to put together 😂💀

Omg IN MY BONES!!!! Have had this exact reaction every Christmas!! Whyyyyyyyy do they make it like this!?!?!

Our toy kitchen we built on the 23rd last year 😂 It was *magical*

I went out shopping yesterday, and my parents built something for me while I was out. I laughed and joked that it was a Barbie Dreamhouse.

🤣 giving it the middle finger! If that isn't the most accurate representation of the feels!

The bane of all parents... gifts you need a 20 page booklet to build. Happy Holidays everyone!

Building toys is my favorite part of Christmas . I have brothers , yet I'm the toy builder, and love it

The Christmas shark stocking!!! I found one that said “Santa jaws” on it and it’s like jaws but he’s going after a gingerbread man lol I love it, sharks are my favorite 🥰

I accidentally bought six foot dollhouse this year. It was such a good job my 14 yo nephew was here because if not it would still not be up now. Three hours later and it's built and taking over my actual house 😂

At my house we call it #kidcrap There is absolutely no #Kraft involved in something that will fall apart within hours of opening. 😅🤣🤣🤣🤣 great parody 🤣!!!

You did well! I received a doll house when I was about 4-5 yrs old. It came in the box and no one ever put it together for me. One day it just disappeared

Imagine getting one of the doll houses where you ONLY get the wood and instructions. You gotta paint it all yourself and no screws or slots. Just glue. Then if you're a true masochist you decide to add lights 😭

I'm crazy good at doing stuff like this.. But i also hate it...probably because I'm OCD.. Lol Also: LOVE your voice!

This is my husband and I every year! A side note... I love those crocs!

This song slaps!! Love the "I can desribe you in the next two words: needs thera-pyyy" 🤣🤣

I had one for 10 years. Got the floor base put together. Sold it at a yard sale so I could stop moving it place to place. So sad.

Every parent who’s ever put anything together felt this lol.

This is why we need charities that put toys together when its donated, what family wants to waste time putting a toy they were given together,its why id rather give bikes or balls when i donate to toys for happiness.

Omg I didn’t know she made full length videos!!! So excited

Whoever all that buys this needs an engineer degree. Lol Your awesome. This was fun. I hope u got it done and it was enjoyed. I hope.🙄😭☃️

In 1990 Christmas. In Florida rolling brown outs since it is 18 degrees. Barbi house for my 4 and 5 year old. I thought that I lost my mind that Christmas Eve. Finally at 3 in the morning I finished. I don't know how I made it but by 6 am they were up. I feel for you.

Ok when r u releasing this album!? Love it and it's exactly how I felt when my kids were little!!!

Haha! Nice!! Oh my gosh yes! Love your channel, your humor and creativity are on point. Loving your toy reviews too. I don't have littles anymore (teenagers now) but I still enjoy the entertainment. ;)

Last year we got a huge dollhouse and I thought my fiance was going to throw the thing out on the lawn after 3 hrs of us putting it together 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Even as a child, I was the one to put stuff together. Toys, cabinets, grills. You name it, I assembled it!

You really are the best Gwenna, you always make me smile, teach me something new, and make me happy to find someone just like the rest of us on RU-vid! Keep being the amazing you!

It's the tiny version of ikea furniture! Hell on earth!

WHY can’t all companies just film the building process!? My autism doesn’t do well with imagining & visualising instructions. 🤬

My sister got this same doll house for her daughter, but a bigger version. It was definitely a two woman job...and it was surprisingly heavy.

I am so happy my son wanted a keyboard piano and my daughter wants art supplies and blankets.

I've learned to have a good series ready to binge watch while building... it took me over 8h to build a kidkraft kitchen the one year and I was so glad I hadn't left it for Christmas eve!

OMG.....I bought my son a similar dollhouse and about stomped it to pieces after i went in to a rage assembling it

My daughter got the exact same doll house for Christmas a few years back. Thank GOD I nor my husband had to put it together. My sister's girlfriend volunteered to do it but it took her 2 days to do it and she completed it Christmas Eve night. So I definitely feel your pain. Great parody as well

I’m the one weird creature that actually loves assembling this stuff. I volunteer to help friends with prefab furniture and stuff all the time.

Merry Fecking Christmas!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I feel like this wasn’t an act but just convenient footage lol

i don't have kids but this is me when I put IKEA furniture together

I felt the same way when I put together my son's kitchen set

Sooo, you get to the second floor, via a bathroom? That would be inconvenient for the doll people.

Is it weird that, even through i don't have kids nor want kids i love your channel?

I have that same dollhouse in my basement, it was my brothers, I have no idea who put it together but I know he loved to play with it

This is why I always put together toys & even pulled others out of packaging to add batteries. Also the swear jar does not count when putting things together.

Absolutely masterful! I've never had to build a dollhouse or any other toy - but that is way too much construction 😓

This is how I feel with Ikea and any self building furniture.

This music video was 100% worth all efforts in its creation

This has to be an ikea dollhouse!!!!

I've been watching you for a while and I think everything that you say is amazing bayu constructing a Barbie dollhouse for your kids and being so patient even though fustrated you're a great mother

This is going in my Christmas Playlist 😂 I'm crying!

the box comment reminded me on how i built my own doll house out of cardboard and tape, it ended up bigger than the one my parents bought me for christmas the next year, it wasn't pretty but i enjoyed it and that's all that mattered

Love the song choice! My dad must have loved building my barbie house etc back in day lol 😆

I got a dollhouse this last Christmas for my son a peppa pig one he loved it, it said it came assembled (was all wood should have known better) the box was huge, come christmas morning boom needed assembly and took 2 and a half to build that thing! Cruel cruel people 🤣🤣🤣

Is it horrible that I was mesmerised by the metal boxes under the tree. Please tell me that's your Christmas storage? If so, thank you for the brilliant idea. More easy and kind of huge decor without taking up the space. Then I noticed how fun your song was and the struggle that inspired it remembered how happy I gift my grandchildren experiences and leave the gifts under the tree to parents and OTHER grandparents.

This is so relatable. Especially 3:40 😂

I remember my dad My oldest brother and my youngest brother feeling this way now my niece and nephew has to do this to their kids

I once ordered a kitchen piece of furniture. I figured I could use it in the future. It lasted quite a long time really. But…sadly we had wall rot and the thing had to get cut down…. It’s still in existence but too short…. I hat to put tiles under it…. It was pretty easy to put together and I read directions unlike you, but unlike your small print long directions, mine were larger print than that and much much much shorter. It was made of real wood and mostly out together. Guess I did good. It was expensive though.

wow, i really enjoy those reviews! Eventho i have no kids, its a great way to see toys, what mums are looking for/concerned about and it is really entertaining ;) thank you! :D

I don't care how old you are....I seriously want to adopt you....🤣🤣🤣

I feel that way about a Lego set batman car I bought . We finally made a decent car but not the car on box . It really soured him towards Legos.

P.s. yours is the only green and red type holliday stuff I can stand to watch. And you have major talent.and I also must say that means a lot since I’m sure we would agree on virtually nothing and would likely be enemies on politics and virtually everything else.

I was somehow Aunty and designated builder, battery manager (equipped with two tiny headed screwdrivers - philips and regular,) _and_ freer of toys from packaging - which could involved serious scissors, wire snips (if the wire was twisted too tight) and LOTS of patience ... I don't know how I remained sane lol Alcohol _did_ help lol

Lol, I don't miss that. My youngest is a teen

That was AWESOME!!! Thanks for the laughs! 😊😅

Ouch... I'm an engineer, and I would be ashamed if I designed a toy this needlessly complex and delicate. I'm sure it's cost effective to produce, and apparently that was way more important than the user experience. I'm just glad you didn't leave it to the night of Christmas Eve.

This is going to be me next week putting a wooden child size playhouse together outside with out our kid knowing ... Hopefully not at night. Cause yeah "strong independent woman" I can see what I will say "I can do this hunny. I changed my own engine how hard this be.. shit I don't have a hoist for the roof."

Ahhhh! 1000% parent christmas!!!!! You nailed it sister!!!!

Love your Grinch rendition

The ending! 🪓 🤣

I feel bad for my dad who had to build this exact doll house when I was little

This is officially my favorite video on the internet 😂😂😂

Omg. Last year MIL and I spent 4 days of precious nap time and after bedtime time building a play kitchen after Turkey Day. Mostly bc I know my husband and his procrastination. Lucky for kiddo we did bc I broke my wrist 10 days before Christmas after all. 🧐

This song is banger!

That's your voice!? Look at you! 💜 I've been watching you a long time and I don't think I ever knew you had such a gorgeous singing voice!

Freaking brilliant!! 🌲

The song lyrics are patently genius.

In Sweden we choose partners after we assembled an ikea furniture together. That’s why it’s so many single parents here.

I’m guessing doll houses were easier to put together in the 90’s?

I love this! You guys are insanely talented! Please, please, please, do more musical content 🙏
