Him: *leaves me alone* Me: so you're just gonna leave me alone like that? Wow! Him: ??? (I don't do this all the time but sometimes I get in a mood and can be a bit complicated 😂)

Just in the way Miss A tells all about you.... you can tell she respects and appreciates you. I think you are all learning from each other and it's amazing!

"You can't get offended by this...." Had me laughing so much, she seems like such a sweetheart

So, basically, John's a dork in the morning in the eyes of Ms. A???? Welcome to life with a teen! I love how Ms. A is able to so honestly share her feelings with ya'll and us. Maybe next time you are tempted to say, "I'm sorry," say instead, "I am here for you."

Welcome to parenting a teenager! Lol I feel like some of these were the same things I got annoyed about with my parents when I was a teen. However, my parents didn't listen to my feelings or how their actions/words affected me, so good job for you guys doing that!

can’t tell you how badly i wanna be friends with miss A

Heyy 🙃 what it do. The people like authenticity, so this is only the beginning for this channel. The more this channel grows the louder the message of fostering is. Can you imagine if this channel was as popular as some other vlogging channels? It would have the potential to change the foster care system. I know for a fact these videos have added to my life and encourage me to consider fostering. So if they want to have ads so they can in turn make this content I hope they get even more sponsorships. #BeTheVillage

I think most teens think these things of their parents at some point. I think it proves you’re doing a good job because she’s a happy, typical teen. It’s really nice that she was comfortable enough to make the list. Some teenagers keep stuff all bottled up and wouldn’t want to do this activity. I think you guys have great communication which is an important part of any family. Best wishes.

I really enjoy Ms. A. She is just about my daughters age and she reminds me so much of my daughter and her friends! Your page was suggested to me and when I found out you were local, I was hooked! (We are in Northern Kentucky) I think it’s great that y’all are so open with each other and don’t get offended when you talk about things that need to be worked on. We are all human and all families (biological or not) are a work in progress! Tell Ms. A that she sounds adorable and she seems to be such a strong, sweet girl!

I love the comfortable banter, the teasing and the laughter. Her hand movements and mannerisms show that she’s happy with your family.

I absolutely say “drink water” for EVERYTHING😂😂😂😂

Whitney, you are great!The "so what should i do then?" warmed my heart.I love that you are not afraid to show her that you are not sure about certain things/you are human.My mother never ever asked me that and she always manipulated the situation in a way where it seemed like she knows everything and never makes mistakes!

I think “perfect” parents/foster parents aren’t ones that get it right every time, all the time, but are willing to adapt, communicate, comfort, and support the children they care for. It’s so evident that you two do all of that and more for the children in your care.

Sawyer is adorable and Miss A is really becoming a beautiful young woman.

I adore the relationship you both have with Miss A. I love that you guys have such a fun time doing conversations like this. Many years and decades from now Miss A will randomly think about these very things and smile/giggle about it. I still do with these very things that the healthy and loving adults in my life did. They are some of the best memories I have ❤️

She reminds me so much of my 17 year old sister, she very outspoken and loud but she’s so respectful. You’re amazing with how good you do with older children.

I totally get the smiling issue. I also have a more serious demeanor and it’s so annoying when people tell me to smile when I’m perfectly happy. It’s ok to be serious and introspective. Doesn’t mean I’m sad, just means my brilliant mind is working overtime! I have a downturned mouth. It’s a genetic trait. My grandfather was the calmest, happiest person, and always had a downturned mouth. But the eyes were twinkling! Look at her eyes to get a better gauge of her feelings, rather then her face. Eyes don’t lie

I hope that girl knows what a gem she is! Her parents and you should be very proud!

This video is confirmation you guys really are the best . she is one lucky girl and i think she knows it

We are the lucky ones!

Even though it's sad that Miss A has to be in foster care I think you guys are really lucky to have such a great young lady in your home. It's obvious you all have a lot of love for each other.

All of these things Miss A points out are things that just justify you being amazing people and parents! You are so loving, caring, and thoughtful. All amazing traits! Miss A will look back in 10-20 years and realize how amazing you both were/are. You’re influencing her life in a positive manner more than her, you, and all of us will ever know. BE THE VILLAGE! Love you guys so freaking much! ❤️

When you say sorry and you have done nothing ..... so sad . I love her so much

Miss A sounds like my kid's "best friend" and I only put the " because they haven't met in real life, they play fortnite together. I like her, she sounds wonderful.

Miss A is such a wonderful young lady and I truly believe she is destined for great things, I can’t wait to see where the world takes her 💛

Her hair looking fantastic

This was such a wonderful video! I literally had tears in my eyes at the end when she spoke about you guys not always recognizing how awesome you are. She did such a great job of articulating her feedback in this list and it was beautiful because it shows how safe she must feel with you that she is able to share these things and roast you a little bit and still know the relationship is strong and loving and can endure it. Her being able to let you know about how her position on the couch can indicate how comfortable she's feeling etc - so helpful! Also at the end when she went to get water, that made me smile. Such a great family, all of you - showing that we don't have to be perfect, we just have to do our best and be honest and make space for each other to express ourselves :)

I love how y'all listened to her and gave her a voice. She is able to be herself and be honest and I'm sure she appreciates that. From one foster parent to another y'all are great role models for how foster parents should be. Heeeyyy Miss A. Happy Holidays Everyone!!!

Miss A is so level headed, I just love her! Those gripes are pretty mild and all from a good place so I think you're doing an amazing job! To Miss A - I have always had chronic RBF and people *always* ask me if I'm ok, drives me nuts sometimes, lol

Guys. That didn't work. I still think you are an AMAZING Foster family. If anything it proved all my impressions were correct. You're just good people. Thanks for the inside scoop Miss A!

How you guys interact with Miss A and try to learn from her, and educate yourselves to be better for her is incredible! I am thankful for her as my parents never cared to do anything like that for me. I don’t want kids anytime soon, but this gives me an example of the parent I want to be!

I absolutely adore the relationship you have with Miss A. The fact that she feels comfortable to voice these little things with you and you’re so warm and receptive to her emotions

Everything she says it's like she's just a teenager. She seems so sweet and nice. She really respects you guys and that's awesome!

I'm 25, I'm married and my dad still tells me to smile and my husband can't talk to me in the morning before I have breakfast and like...45 minutes after I wake up 😂 You are great parents. Parents aren't meant to be best friends, you need to set boundaries, and you'll run out of patience sometimes, you may yell at some point. As long as you say: "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done X. I'm tired, but that's not an excuse to yell at you", Miss A will be learning about true love!!!! Best wishes and Merry Christmas!

My husband already knows that when I wake up, the next hour or 2 is "quiet time" where I dont want him talking to me or bothering me lol

Very nice. & super funny. So honest. Running from the hugs & hiding😂😂😂😂

You are blessed to have her!

I’m so grateful that you have her most of all but I’m also grateful that she has you. I know y’all don’t see it like that but really she’s so resilient and I can see in the maturation of your channel that she has been such a benefit to your family. I’m so grateful for all of your willingness to share your lives with us.

I just love how much y'all have made miss A feel like she is family too.

this is eighteen minutes and thirty seven seconds of proof that you guys are amazing foster parents and miss a is an amazing kid

I can relate to the drink water thing. My mom says "it must be the weather" to everything!!!! 😂

This was so adorable! Laughed a few times!!

She is amazing! Always makes me laugh and smile ! You go Miss A!

You guys melt my heart

What a blessing she is 💞 She seems like such an amazing kid.

Love this video concept!

I love this video! Period!

so damn happy to see an audible sponsorship! its incredible what y'all do, and you deserve all the support possible to continue this amazing journey

That's so sweet for her to be so honest with you guys. Love you Miss A keep doing what you are doing girly I'm proud of you❤❤❤!!!

Very brave family meeting.

This is hilarious!! I love how good of a sport you guys are!😂💕

I love how normal and healthy this is❤️ you are all amazing !!

So worried snd sounds like you guys are doing darn good!! She seems happy and confident at your home! She seems great with the kids and you can tell she loves them!

Wow what an amazing young lady. SERIOUSLY!

This made me smile through the entire vid! And I love Audible!

I have to admit I had to watch your intro a couple times, it’s beautiful : )

Wow, so encouraging to see y'all take their opinions & feelings into consideration! I wish i had that growing up 😂

I LOVE the intro!👏🏻

Merry Christmas John, Whitney, Darcy, Sawyer, and Miss A!!! 🎄🎄🎄

Loved this! It's so great to see how comfortable she is to share stuff with you guys! We are all dorky and quirky in our own ways. 😊

I love your (foster) family vlogs!

Great video! You are all just really awesome people. Each and every one of you. Thanks for sharing a small part of your lives with us.

She is so articulate and witty 💕 you seem like awesome parents and she is hilarious

This was the most heartwarming video ever, just made me start getting into the Christmas spirit! For real, though, your family is awesome and I love watching your videos. Keep doing what you're doing 💕

It’s really awesome that you guys have such great open communication, I don’t even have that with my parents. Miss A is really funny and her vocabulary is impressive! ♥️♥️

I just want to hug all of you! Remember all of our souls are beautiful and connected as a 👪 love from Montana!

I’m so glad you are providing this young woman with such a stable, loving, and warm home while she needs one over the holidays. Sending all my love to your family as well as Miss A’s.

This was so fun! I love Miss A's personality and her willingness to be a part of this. Also, I totally agree...so many more people would make great foster/adoptive families, but they doubt they can do it!

So nice that miss.A shared with us her true feelings of how she feels about u guys and that really was awesome..WE LOVE U MISS.A ..

So nice that amongs the rules n regs so to speak there always time to hav some good fun. You guys hav all that n more which makes you all great fosters.

I love Miss A!!! And y’all are awesome❤️

One of my favorite videos so far!! You all really are good with teens... And Miss A is also really good with your family. I can totally relate to being taken to a family gathering and feeling uncomfy at first.

I’m so glad miss A has you and your husband in her corner and you have miss A in yours!!! She’s just added sparkle to the sunshine your family represents! 👏👏👏

I shrieked with laughter right at the start and her dancing really improved the spon part cos I’ve heard a lot of spon and I usually skip them tbh. She’s really cool and you guys are so chill.

Darn it...I’m in tears...just Awesome...!

THIS VIDEO WAS SO FUNNY LMAO but fr you guys ARE great foster parents and honestly this video just proves it. Also I love the relationship you guys have with Miss A.

Miss A is wonderful! Nice to see her be comfortable enough to share these things. I said most of the same things about my parents as a teen.

I like her “complaints” 💝. It shows how you are a beautiful family, supporting, loving and bugging each other! 💗

Omg, if I didn’t love Miss A before (I did lol) I certainly do now! This is the best! Both honest, sweet, but truthful ❤️ what a great girl!!! She is going places.

Oh I haven't watched your channel for over 6 months so I'm just catching up! This was such a heart warming hilarious video. Bitter Sweet to see the lovely Miss A! Glad she still has the support of the 'Village Fam' Bless you all !!!! Xx

This video had me laughing! You all are great♡
