I wasn’t born on a homestead, but I had chores. After waking up, our beds were made. I’m one of 5 and we all did the same thing, each had something…vacuum, dusting, dishes, laundry…etc….all of us. Just bc your a boy doesn’t mean you didn’t do dishes, vacuum or laundry.

Problem is it seems a lot of parents nowadays let their kids not do any type of responsibility chores. I see kids bombarded with after school sports and activities and still expect their parents to give them money for doing things they should be doing anyway just because it’s a responsibility they should be taught. I’m glad I have chores that were my responsibility. That taught me about responsibility.

I’m so sorry people are cruel to you and say mean things. Thank you for sharing so much of your family with us. Lots of us live in a city and have no idea what it’s like to live on a homestead. Blessings to you and your family.

We had thirteen on a homestead growing up on a very self sustainable farm...and you balance so much so well. Your tiredness doesn't seem as aging as others with large families....you stay so young looking and calm about motherhood for eight. You are so blessed.

I find it impossible to believe that anyone would have anything negative to say! You are such an inspiration and role model. Also, I look forward to your videos on Sunday. The lack of frequency makes it much more special.

Agreed. Momma always said, 'if you can't say anything nice, then don't say anything at all.

We all need to realise that we all can only do what’s right for US. One single father told me after my firstborn arrived, he said “keep your child busy enough to prevent them from getting into mischief”. He meant out of trouble. I think you’re doing a great job Jessica, and it shows in your children’s behaviour. Thank you for sharing with us. God bless you, your husband and all your children. 🌹Rosie of Oz🇦🇺 & 🐶Omega the Cavalier🐶

My husband is the oldest in his family. Him and his siblings had chores, but he did the bulk of them (not because he was assigned them, but his siblings wouldn't help and he recognized the importance of the chores being done). There is a distinct difference between him and his siblings in their maturity and their ability to function as adults in the real world. You are doing your children a massive favor by teaching them the importance of hard work.

As you said, Adam also works outside of the home. To me it appears that you are a team, and help each other as needed. I love that him interacting with the kids is a priority, as is should be. Your system works, don't let anybody say otherwise. :)

I like how you talk about chores and its importance. I am the only girl and have 4 brothers, but growing up most of the chores would be my responsibility (which I found unfair). God willing when I have my own children I will not leave all the chores to one child!❤

I love following your family. I’m 61 and have canned most all my life as my Mama and Granny did, but watching you has made me realize I wasted so much of the peels and scraps that I gave to the chickens could be used for another pantry product. Thank you so much for sharing ❤️

17:30 I really appreciate that you protect your children's privacy, it shows how good of a parent you are

Wow , it's amazing how you plan out things daily , what a remarkable person , husband included you both are ! My father was a family of 8 brothers & sisters back in the 1920 's , I have only some pictures , take many pictures / videos , do enjoy , have fun , stay safe ! What a great family , total team work , proud of you / husband & all the children !!!!

Food allergy topic- I think it's great that most of your meals are prepared and ate at home aside from the occasional "treat" outings. My family does not have any allergies but we still eat almost exclusively at home lol. Between the size of my family, rising cost of foods, and overall health, we choose to eat at home. I also foster children and currently have 2 additional boys in my home who technically receive the free lunch at school but we still pack every day. The options are so much healthier- which is important in this placement especially because healthy foods were not ever offered to them. They're discovering foods and it's so amazing to watch their love for fruit develop! Creating a healthy food relationship with children is so so important as it follows us into adulthood and we all know so many adults do not make good choices with food.

Jsssica, it is a beautiful thing that in the same way you kept your eldest son safe from things that could harm him, he is now able to do that for himself. For all of your children, this will extend to all areas of their lives. Well done Momma, well done.

Great Q&A session! We enjoy watching the children help in the kitchen very much. Maybe one day you could make a video featuring your son's baking and the girls cooking/canning with the littler ones helping. Just a thought. We really enjoy watching you, Adam and the kids! God bless you and yours.

Jessica, you are an amazing woman! Im sorry people are cruel in their words. You are appreciated and valued through my eyes and many others. God bless you and your family

I'm a 55 yr old atheist from New Zealand and I LOVE your channel 🙂 I grew up on farms so having outdoor/animal chores as a kid is normal to me. I think it's character building. Thank you for the wonderful content you share.

I can’t believe people ask what does your husband do at the home. Just working a full time job is a lot and make sure his family is taken care of. Your husband does a lot work cutting grass and being a handyman and getting the wood

I have been very surprised at all of the "older" mother's on KZread this year or two that are in their very early 40's. You all have been able to keep up with your large families, seem to handle your pregnancies so well, appear to have a fast recovery and I just want to recognize you and them as awesome women. I think you are amazing. Thank you for your many videos, the teaching that you have done and what I have learned from you and just getting to know you as a person. The other thing is how supportive your husbands are and how helpful and loving to the wives and all the children. I love seeing all of this. Thank You so much. The Channels are yours, Jamerrell Large Family Table , Our Tribe of Many, The Wads. You have all been a blessing in my life, thanks again.

You are such a beautiful girl, Jessica. Love the pretty 'still photo' upfront on this video and your magnanimous, peaceful responses, especially about 'hurt people want to hurt others'. Its very kind and generous of you - and true. All the best from Oklahoma!

I am quite impressed with you as a lady and a mom!! Your amazing and thank you for your channel!! 😀

Great answer about home schooling vs. punny school. Teachers aren't teaching, they're intruding in areas they have no business. Please don't respond to people who assume that your husband doesn't pull his weight. My husband was in the military for 25 years and out to sea 3-9 months at a time. I worked full-time outside the home, raised dogs, cats, ducks and chickens, mowed, shoveled, gardened and made our home run smoothly and my husband provided in the background. God has blessed you. Stayed strong. I'm covering your entire family in prayer.

Thank you Jessica. I like the voice over style video. Jessica I respect you so much and you've taught me a lot. I see such joy in the community with your challenges. Every bit counts and the panty challenge.

You are such a breath of fresh air, I love your videos! God bless you and your beautiful family. I think chores for children are a wonderful gift to instil in them. It teaches them (as was taught to me) disciple, respect, not to be lazy, gratitude.. so much!! I think you’re a wonderful Mum and keep doing what you’re doing xxx

Thankful for this slower season on our homestead as well! Last preserving day today, pears! We laid down the landscape fabric you have in your amazon store this year for our peppers, tomatoes and viney plants and it was amazing! I still had to try to keep up the potatoes, onions, strawberries but much more manageable. I also successful have my first gallon of apple cider vinegar sitting on my shelf and it looks beautiful! I appreciate all the teaching you do in these different areas. I am looking forward to your soap making videos! Have a blessed week!!

Growing up I had a lot of chores. Yes some days I thought I hated it. I grew up with work ethic and I’m thankful for those chores.

Teaching life skills and responsibility You are doing an amazing job

God bless you and your family. Thank you for the videos!

Thank you for sharing your a homesteader family life with us. I truly appreciate all of your videos.

I grew up in a small town with 6 siblings. Chores were a given, we all went to school had activities after school ( which we walked to as we did to school). You are such a wonderful insightful mom and a blessing to your children and all of us. You are right every family has to evaluate each child and how they all work together.

I only have three kids, but I have a fifteen year old and a 27 month old, too and I couldn't agree more! I find myself feeling ridiculous sometimes in switching mom brains and the time and space it takes to do so, lol. The first year and a half at least was quite difficult in the transformation! I know you hear it all the time, but you are truly inspiring to me and I appreciate your videos very much!

My friend's daughter was 8 when she was with her mum through midwife appointments. She was encouraged and inspired All grown up married with two boys of her own now She trained as a midwife here in the UK and worked until she had her own family.

I always wanted a large family, unfortunately my husband passed away when we were very young and I didn't ever remarry. You are so blessed with all of your beautiful children. As a vegan and an atheist there are a thousand things in your life that would not be a good fit for me, or that I would not choose to do. I like your channel because I do a lot of home cooking, foraging and canning. I still respect that you are doing what you believe is best for your children and my opinion is only important to me.
