I appreciate your pooping under the house story. I have a lot of poop stories but I’ll tell you my worst one. When I was young it was in fashion to have colonics. If you don’t know what that means you’ll have to look it up because I’m not going to describe it here. Usually right after you have a colonic, before you leave the practitioners office, you use the bathroom. For some reason I didn’t have to go and she had another client coming so I had to go home. I only had a 15 minute drive home… But that wasn’t enough time. I made it into my neighborhood and was within half a block of my house when I couldn’t hold it anymore and I ended up going in my car all over my front seat and myself and the carpet and it was humiliating and disgusting and it took me hours to clean it up. By the way that’s a very cute house! 💜😂💜😢

Thank you for taking us through memory lane! And for making this house based on a real Australian home. Your home once ofcourse. It is so different from what I am used to here in the Netherlands. I'd love to build the home my family lived in since I was 3. I have little to no memories of the rental house we lived in before that, but from photo's. But the home I grew up in since then had a horrible floorplan. My dad was a builder and had a great 10 year renovation plan for it. Taking it room by room as soon as there was enough budget, so we didn't have to live in a mess and we never did. I remember having bright orange carpet in my bedroom and my sister had just as bright green carpet. The previous owner hadn't renovated it since the 70's. Everything was dark brown and bright orange and green ☺ Due to an accident at my dads work it took a lot longer though and adjusting this weird floorplan was off the table, but we did a decent job refurbishing and it was nice it became a team effort in which I learned a lot of basic renovation skills.

I have a public pooping incident (multiple, actually). My mother is a landlord for apartments, and whenever a tenant moves out, she cleans up the apartment after them so it’s ready to be rented out again. Sometimes she’ll hire a cleaning lady to clean instead. She did this a lot during my childhood, and since I was young (7, 8, 9), my mother would bring me along with her when she was cleaning out an apartment. I guess sometimes the toilets didn’t work, so whenever I had to go to the bathroom, she would bring me to the dumpster outside the apartment building and instruct me to poop and/or pee behind it. It happened a lot. Good times haha. (To clarify, these are suburban apartment buildings, so the dumpsters have fencing around them. Meaning I had privacy.)

Poor deli! Poo is normal. Everyone does it! In America we don’t like talking about things like, poo, periods, sex, or anything “personal”. But I appreciate how open you are! It’s refreshing! ❤

I think it’s great that you’re so open about your stomach problems! The only way to remove stigma is to talk about it. I’m sure it’s comforting to others that have the same problems. Also, in Norway we say "potteplante" to plants that har in pots, so exactly like you say, pot plant.

Such a wholesome family dynamic and quite a nice home too : )

one of my favourite deli stories is the poop bath story with her sister and the goggles. i will never forget that story bc i laughed so hard. i think it was in the old childhood home video from a few years ago but it was so funny

I love when you tell us personal stories about "When Nature Calls" and about our cycles. Because, at the end of the day we are ALL human and need to go when we NEED to go. I grew up not knowing I was lactose intolerant, I would be sick ALOT, or go to the toilet A LOT. I did NOT know, till I was in my late teens. 🥺 It was horrible. I would feel sick on ALL journeys on ANY transport. I was bullied a lot for spending time in the toilets... wherever I went, or if they had to pull over for me to go sick. People teased me and labelled me very inappropriate and hurtful things. No blood tests came up with anything out of the ordinary, so I had to suffer till lactose intolerance or milk intolerances were more well know. I live in Wales, we are proud of our cows milk. It's a thing here to be proud of Welsh produce. So that information was slower getting here, when I was young. People can be so cruel to people who don't deserve the hate. I get ya Deli, we can stand together with our lactose intolerance stories together. ☺️🌟🌿💅

I recently built my childhood home which was an awful duplex across from an abandoned brewery in the WORST part of town. I did a wholesome family play through where everything was nice and clean and cozy and they had lots of family meals together and it was therapeutic to sort of give a sim child the peaceful existence I always wanted 😅

I loved this video!! It's so fun learning about Australian culture in your videos too. Things you don't think are interesting are totally cool to an American

Omg Deli, I did have something similar happen when I was a kid 😂 rode the bus home and we lived in a townhouse and I forgot my house key and had to pee SOO badly. I couldn’t hold my pee and I peed myself right in front of our front door with neighbors around I was like 7 or 8 probably lol. You’re not alone! 😂

Deli you are not alone. I came home from school one day and was locked out, didn't have a key, and no way inside. I had undiagnosed IBD and when you have to go, you have to go. So I went and pooped in my backyard behind the shed. 💩❤️

These things do happen … and they can happen a little more as you get older. You just get caught out. I do have a collection of supplies in my car just in case anyone needs anything. Australia is a big place and we do a lot of cross country driving and sometimes toilets are not well stocked or so available. Good to be ready for anything!

so interesting to see other people's childhood homes. Growing up my family lived in an expanded blue cape cod home in NJ and it was lovely. The backyard was huge and it felt very private. Walking distance to town and schools was an added plus. My parents recently sold the house after renovating it over the years, so I decided to make it in the Sims 4 and I had so much fun picking out furniture that looked identical to the ones in our house. I think everyone should make something personal to them in the Sims. It's great to reminisce and I have my current legacy household living in my childhood home. It does get pretty surreal though

I really loved this video very relaxing! I also loved hearing your childhood memories. Awesome build

Thank you Deli, it was fun to see your childhood home and hear your stories. I recently built (in Sims 4) all the houses I remember living in growing up.

This was so lovely :D. All the stories and good feelings :D! I enjoyed this video!

The most 00’s Aussie house I’ve ever seen haha

turtleneck is super cute, collar up is totally girlboss, and collar down is the trendiest way

I like the collar down personally, but the collar up looks good too! I'm not a huge fan of turtlenecks on me, so I opt for scarves most of the time! As for the house I grew up in we had an upstairs, and downstairs, a split level. My parents had added a room and bathroom on later for my older siblings. It was definitely smaller with the spaces that were there. I grew up with two older siblings and I had my own friends and all of course.

Love your videos!!! You’re the best. 🖤

Love that you share your embarrassing stories. I’m glad you feel comfortable enough with your community to share those things. Better to laugh about it than be ashamed of something that happens to a lot of people. Also, my vote for the jacket is collar up.

you seem like a kind person and a great friend...

It was a very sentimental build and I enjoyed listening as you talked about your childhood. I grew up in the United States of America in a little marina village. Our house I'm going to say was kind of like a Spanish Gothic style was made of these great big bricks and I remember the Gargoyles that we had on our front porch. The house had a very creepy Sinister feeling to it but I spent 13 years of my life there. And I miss it

Collar up and Down ... love both! Lol Deli ur great

We also swapped rooms at one point, so I wanna revisit it now and do the swapped version. Awesome idea, Deli

Turtleneck version looks straight outta spa day 😎👍

So cool looking back at your childhood! It's so sweet you shared your memories with us! I'm much older than you, so this was in the 1960's. I remember climbing out my grandmother's bedroom window to sit on the front porch roof which had a slight pitch, to watch over the neighborhood and the cars going by. I loved being high up where no one really noticed me. I would have been in so much trouble! Don't beat yourself up too much about the sunburns when you were a kid. The intensity of the UV rays has changed everywhere. It would be much worse today I rarely used any sunscreen as a kid at the beach and rarely burned at all. My sister did tho and my grandmother would put vinegar all over her burns. I'll never forget the smell in the tent at night! My kids all had skin tolerance that in the early 80's they never burned with minimal sunscreen. Just once in the morning protected them all day By the '90's they needed lotion at least twice a day to avoid burning. Today they need a much higher SPF because of the climate change. At least now we are aware of the dangers!

For the fleece, tutrleneck mode is always the way. It's comfier, it's warmer, you don't have to worry about the zipper jangling about. It's just the superior choice.🤐

I wish I could tell you about a childhood home but I lived in rented houses most my life and migrate countries and towns every year or two years. I would also frequently change schools so I have never been in one place too long. I guess the longest place I've lived is this one house I had in Malawi for about 4 years. It had a huge garden in the front (technically the backyard) with a blackberry tree and rose garden that my mum was obsessed with. And where the entrance was, there was a giant mango tree near the 2 car garage, maid quarters separate to the house, a vegetable garden, and chicken. The entrance area was mostly sand/soil and no grass. I don't remember how many rooms the house had but all the floorboards and wooden features were a dark wood and it was quite pretty. There are 2 more houses I stayed in for 3 years consecutively each in Dubai. One was a complex with huge rooms overall. It had a one person garage, a big kitchen with blue counters. Near the stairway, we had a giant 10 seater table shoved in the corner. The living room was huge and my mum split the two halves of the room into the African living room and Middle Eastern living room using furniture and decor pieces that she collected over the years. We had this chandelier made with dried banana leaves and hand-crafted animal figures in the African living room with all dark furniture, whilst middle eastern was more of a sandy brown theme with Arab decor pieces and had the main TV unit. There was a indoor garden area as well where my mum grew plants again. And then upstairs was just a 3 bedroom 2 bathroom situ.

You're so real and I love it ❤

When I first saw this title I read it as "burnt" your childhood home and I was like wow Deli that's very chaotic and kinda sad but I was glad that it's just building it :)
