Hi Joel & Lia!Joel the type of mom u described is a mom from 1950 & before.women were considered nothing but someone who cooked,baked,cleaned,& even did everything for her husband.the man ruled everything including there wives.my parents were part of that generation but most of the parents of the kids I grew up with were not.my mom took care of all the kids in our area.if they fell off there bikes( we had just rocks not pavement)she brought the kids in even if she didn't know them.she would clean & patch up there wound & tell them to call there mothers.then in a few the mom would show up grateful my mom took care of there child.she was also the mom who went on all the field trips.until when I was old enough to say mom I don't want u to go.she was hurt but also tired.where I grew up in Vermont our school was pre-school to 8th grade so u spent most of ur life there.then when u hit 8th grade it was a big deal.we would go to Boston,Massachusetts.it was always the same trip.I'm the baby of the family so I figured she would be ok not going for a 4th x anyway there was a baseball game so we went to only some of the usual stuff but we went to the game & got home at 4 am.my mom never drove & my dad was a dairy farmer.my mom would babysit to get some money for herself but during the summer she also helped with haying & drove 1 of the tractors ( she did the raking)her dad loved the farm & sometimes he would do that .she made our birthday & holiday meals & try to make it special.sadly not all her cooking was good.her mom treated her like a doll & didn't prepare her.the current generations have no idea what it was like.women were objects not a person.sadly its not been that long since we were treated like a person.the Betty Crocker image is exactly what women were supposed to be.women,African Americans,Irish,anyone who was not what the men approved of were treated badly.I was tracing my family history I had found a census from the 1930s that had asked how many white men then women then children were slaves in the house then it asked the same of blacks.I do have to admit our history isn't nice.also my moms family came over on the Mayflower & both sides of her parents were traced back to England.my dads parents were born in Canada but after marrying moved to the US I found out my grandfather's family member came from France & the church there has a thing that says his name & wishing him the best in the new world.I also found out the family in France came from England.that's why I love the new channel because ur showing places they might of gone.sorry I went off track but its upsetting because today's mom is strong independent,can work & take care of her family.she is no longer the object who is a baby maker & do everything for the man in her life.my mom would lay out my dads cloths.I do do that but I do it so my husband doesn't have to run around with his head chopped off as he rushes to get to work.I also prepare his breakfast & lunch because if he wakes up late he won't eat unless its ready & waiting.I think there is a difference.u can help them but not the put the slippers on there feet type of thing.sorry :-) p.s they sent notes home for volunteers to help on the trips.Joel & Lia I think the gear toward kids thing is because if they don't they can get sewed ,here in the US they sew for everything so they walk on shells.it hasn't always been like this only in the last decade or so.

I volunteered for all her teachers every year up to age 10, then when she was in grade 5 I worked for 3 different grade 4 teachers. I went on all the field trips because she wouldn't go unless I did. Best times ever. Then when she was 11 I got an actual job at a different school in food service and I did that job for 15 years in with kids age 12-18 . I also worked for two years during that time at Michaels crafts in town I left the school oct last year Guess I'm that mom 😁

I was a suburban stay-at-home mom. I was a school volunteer, ran my neighborhood block watch, didn’t have time for the gym back then, but now I go to the gym every weekday and I’m eating paleo. Haha! Didn’t do a lot of infant socializing, but as my daughter got older I put her into dance, piano, and soccer. She had a busy schedule. We had a small vehicle while my daughter was small, but when she got older we got a big SUV. I hauled her and her friends everywhere. In high school, my daughter was a cheerleader and also did track. We went to a lot of cheer competitions and track meets. I’m not into being a gossiper, who has time for that? Those sales parties used to be much more common. Now, I only gets asked to about 1 or 2 a year. I think a lot of moms are helicopter moms. However, we let our daughter travel through Europe as a student ambassador when she was 14. We gave her a lot of freedom. She skipped a grade, so she went to university at age 17. Since then, she’s got her bachelors degree, traveled a lot of the world and has been to over 20 countries. She’s lived in both Moscow, Russia and China. She’s gotten married, and is now rebranding a company. I should add that she’s only 25 years old now. All in all, I’m a pretty proud momma. We sacrificed a lot for me to stay home with her and for us to give her those opportunities. We feel blessed and quite lucky. So I guess I fit many of those stereotypes. Haha!

Apparently someone showed Joel “Leave it to Beaver,” but left out the context...

When my twins were born, I insisted that I was keeping my manual transmission Ford Focus. It was a struggle to find infant seats that would fit without touching the front seats. The double stroller would fit in the trunk, but there was no space for anything else. I'm stubborn enough that I would have made it work, but my husband got a new car for himself and insisted I take his old SUV. The extra space made carting all the plastic kid stuff much easier. Now my kids are older, I could fit them in a sedan, but I'm driving my current vehicle until it dies. In the meantime, I do enjoy the extra hauling capacity when I need gardening supplies. Bottom line, most moms drive SUVs because standard baby safety equipment and strollers are too damn huge. Then they just get used to driving huge vehicles and never go back.

@jenergy1000

4 жыл бұрын

This is so true. If you have more than one kid a sedan is tight. Plus in the US we have reasonable gas prices so we can actually afford bigger cars.

Where I'm from, in the midwest, usually if you have a big vehicle and only a child or 2, this serves as the, oh here, plenty of room for all my kids sports equipment, several of their teammates and a pet or 2. Lol. We out here in the middle of farm country use big trucks to not only haul kids, their friends and everything we may ever need, but to haul trailers, boats, farming equipment and that sort of stuff. :)

station wagons (estate cars) turned into mini vans in the 1990s, then mini vans were seen as drab, so the SUV took over

For us Americans a mum is a flower. You have the at home mom and the working mom in America. An American mom always want you to be the best, clean up your room. They cook 👩‍🍳 dinner. Not all moms bake, but there’s always the neighborhood supermarket. Both mom working and at home are active with the PTA, and drive kids to soccer practice

This is hilarious! Love these topics. I didn't grow with a typical American mum. My folks were from Italy. But my mum was quite the fashionista and would glam up housekeeping. Such fun! Thanks! L&C 👍♥️😘🇬🇧

I’ve been both the stay at home mom baking cookies for when the kids get home, but also a working mom.They both have pros and cons, but I think most moms would say it feels beautiful to be there to see your child burst through the door after school. Good times!

I am a elementary school teacher and I have had a few moms that are super involved and love to volunteer for everything. I wish there were more, but most moms, like myself are working. My husband stays home and watches our youngest while I take our oldest child to school and then teach all day.

When my kids were grammar school aged. I was a stay at home mom. I cleaned, cooked, picked up and took my kids to school. I was in the PTA (parent teacher association-not paid) at my kids school. My kids were in school sports and afterschool sports n weekends. I was busy everyday with different sports practices n games with my kids. I also did mommy and me swimming, gymnastics classes n some stuff at the YMCA with them. .i used to host parties..tupperware, chritmas around the world and lingerie parties on selected nights to make some extra money. We always had dinner at the table n certain nights we played board games and or cards as a family night. My daughter was in girl scouts, n my sons were in boyscouts n they had fun enviromental trips. My husband worked 2 jobs but always had time with helping out or showing up at the kids events. When my kids got older i was able to go back to work.

Yes, my sons had to listen to "family friendly radio" when we were in the car & iPads or phones weren't prevelant back then, so they were stuck with conversing with me whether they liked it or not.😁 When I was young, my Mom loved loud music with lots of bass etc...so I got to "rock out" when she took me places in the car & at home when my Dad wasn't there.

As an American Mom I definitely know Mom’s like all of these stereotypes. I think all parents are a reaction to or a product of their parents. We tend to do as our parents did or do the opposite. My husband is doing the opposite (his childhood was chaotic), I’m doing similar to what my parents did (my childhood was super stable). In general I feel less stressed than my parents seemed but my husband is home way more than my dad was (he worked a lot to provide). I homeschool one kid and send one to public school. One kid is nuerotypical and one is autistic. Parenting doesn’t look like I imagined it but it’s the best gift ever to be a Mom. These are very interesting!

My mother was the one everybody wanted around.! She wouldn’t rat you out if you were caught drinking some alcohol You could just stay at my house. My dad was the same way!!!!

As a retired school teacher, I’ve seen all kinds of kids from many diverse backgrounds. There’s nothing wrong with doing a lot for your kids, but some parents overdo this creating spoiled kids who think everybody owes them something because their parents do so much for them. Kids need to feel loved , but they also need to know that they are not the only ones in the world. It is our duty as parents to make them aware that not everyone is so fortunate. It’s a good idea to give them the opportunity to volunteer some time at a nursing home, or spend some time at a children’s hospital, etc. parents might run out of things to give their kids if they don’t get a grip, or what will they expect for their 12th birthday, a car perhaps!

Yes, as a mom and former school teacher, I totally agree, Debbie! We see tons of families and the way they interact with each other. There are parents of all types - parents who spoil and indulge, parents who are mean, careless, or downright abusive, and lots of parents who do an excellent job! We're not there to judge, but rather to educate and to be helpful and loving. And, yes, we need to consciously show our own children and teach them about less-fortunate people locally and around the world, even as we strive to give them the best opportunities. I've certainly seen some teachers ignorantly bash parents, but most do not - certainly not the good ones.

Lots of moms volunteer at schools, I chaperoned my daughters marching band trips. It was wonderful! I was able to meet many of the kids and able to actually become their confidant when they couldn’t talk to their parent.

When it comes to movies, TV, or radio the US has always been more conscious of keeping things kid appropriate or making sure that the parent knows the product is not appropriate for kids. Even that is more so now than it used to be though. A lot of the child focus started with the spreading awareness of kidnapping. With each generation parents have become more aware of what their children are doing and where they are going. My mom’s generation is where it started being a thing. However with my generation (being also your generation) it was still a pretty big thing for kids to be allowed to roam their neighborhoods freely. Parents might have boundaries but they didn’t necessarily know for sure their kids were following those boundaries. I remember neighbor kids coming over to my house to play on our swingset and a child seven or eight years old being left in charge of their four-year-old sibling. We may or may not have been home but their parents wouldn’t have known one way or another. Also the older children would get focused in their play and then realize after a while that their younger sibling had decided they wanted to go somewhere else to play and had taken off without them. So then the neighborhood was all out looking for said child and the poor older sibling was being reprimanded for not paying attention. I have only seen that recently in a town with less than 100 in population. Even then the parents weren’t looked at as exactly the greatest parents. My mom was considered strict because we were only allowed to play with neighbor kids if they were outside where she could see unless it was prearranged or the neighbor kid’s mom called my mom and invited us over. Now the kids are very limited on their roaming in the ones that are allowed to roam usually have a cell phone or some form of smart watch. I live across the street from an elementary school and the neighborhood is full of kids but you never see them just playing with each other outside of school like we did when I was growing up. They’re playing in their own yards with a parent out there with them. A few of our neighbors are friends outside of living so close to each other and they will walk their kids to each other‘s house but the kids don’t just go roaming. Most of the family friendly activities were developed to help compensate for the children not being able to safely socialize with each other as much and the parents not being able to get the break that used to be given.

So I heard a story years ago when my mom learned a hard lesson about leaving her 6-7 year old son in charge of my sister and I. We were around 4-5, 5-6 respectively. She ran to the neighbors house or maybe my uncles, he lived in the same neighborhood, anyways, my brother locked both us girls out of the house. Mom came home found me sitting on the porch in nothing but my underwear and couldn't find my sister, who had been picked up by the cops about a block over and taken to the police station. I guess some girls found her gave her some clothes and then called the cops. She didnt leave us alone like that until we moved back to Oklahoma, where we lived next door to my grandma. I laughed when I first heard it but it's crazy when you think about what could have happened.

I am just 1 Texan mom. We homeschool, I school my children. I cook meals from “scratch” meaning non frozen meals 😂. Purchase our milk, meant, honey, and a few more things from a real farm. We go camping every other weekend in the spring and fall. My kiddos have restricted screen time because there is too much inappropriate content on Amazon, Hulu or Netflix, those are all the same. I hate people that are always trying to sell me stuff 😂. We do have planned orchestra, museum and zoo times for the school semester for the kids. I don’t like to listen to the radio because I enjoy talking to the kiddos more. And yes they call me a crunchy/helicopter mom! 😂 😂 Oh, and I do drive a grey minivan!

So true, Roseanne and The Middle are much better representations of moms.

I consider myself fortunate to have been able to be a “stay at home” mom. Your children grow up so fast. Everyone always says that and it’s TRUE! I got to savor every moment of my son’s childhood. I am not overbearing or a “helicopter” parent, but he definitely knew/knows I was available. Some kids don’t even know when they need their parents around, but can appreciate it later.

When I was growing up, the mom with the biggest car was usually the "sports" mom. She would take all her children and their friends to their games, cheerleading practice, karate, etc....or the "carpool" mom that dropped us off at school if we lived close enough in the same neighborhood.

I was totally apart of everything at my kids school... except my daughter was disabled and she needed the comfort of knowing I was there..... drove most of the staff crazy and they didn't like me much.... too bad for them

This got me thinking of my '50s mom & my childhood. Our neighborhood was looked down upon by the well-to-do I suppose. We weren't rich, but I didn't know that. Our neighborhood was about 21 blocks long, 2-3 blocks deep, bordered by a beach on the north front and a creek on the south. There were wooded lots to play in, row boats to "borrow" and take out on the creek, empty lots to play football and a baseball field. We had the run of the neighborhood on our bicycles or afoot and stay at home moms galore to keep a watchful eye. Come to think of it, we WERE Rich. RIP Mom.

I’m kind of the 50’s mom. 😂

Lots of people homeschool their children, which-is an excellent idea given that the schools are unfortunately low these days and are failing in many areas. Home schooling is very popular these days. Where children can advance at their own rate. Research is proving that home schooled students surpass public school students on standardized tests.

Cameron Enoch . Home schoolers get together with other homeschooled students for subjects their parents might be better at teaching something else & they swap out. One mom or dad might teach math while another mom or dad might teach English language arts etc. for example. Social interactions happen in ways like this. Sometimes they all meet for physical education. Isn’t boring.some of these kids act like little adults which isn’t always a bad thing.

LOVE this! Those types of moms definitely exist. They make me roll my eyes so hard! Thankfully, they are not the majority.

Just found you guys and find you highly entertaining. I’m a suburban single mom in America, so I do have to work. I still related to at least 80% of your assumptions. I especially found it funny when you would put out disclaimers of “this is a stereotype that might not be true” and then say something so universally a part of American culture that it is probably true in 99% of suburban America families.

🤣🤣🤣one of the funniest Joel & Lia posts...Do suburbia Mom’s who are raising Boy Scouts and campers have a stereotype. So I do work at my children’s school, I do get paid, live in the suburbs with a clubhouse on a pond where we take the kids swimming and 🛶. Fishing and boogie boarding are their favorites. Laughed the video and loved the comments and was truly entertained.

For most of the time I was in elementary school in the mid to late 80's, my mom was a volunteer classroom helper. Always went on field trips.

I guess I'm not a true American suburban mom. Stats: I'm 50yrs old, have 2 boys, 12 and 17, drink too much, swear too much, and don't make many rules. But I've raised my kids to be good travellers and not take themselves too seriously. I went along with the video for the below comments. 1. So I had to work, but my kids' school has loads of parents that help at school, even in the classrooms. 2. I'm a weight lifter and been doing it for more than 30 years. I don't do any of those gym-du-jour classes. 3. Don't trigger me about those crazy diets. lol 4. I could barely keep up with other moms scheduling play dates with my kids. I don't subscribe to "it's all about the kids" and I characterize myself as a woman not a "mom." I love my kids, but they don't define me (this is actually common, tho). 5.My kids grew up from birth listening to Rage Against the Machine and still have a great taste in music. 6. I had an SUV because I used to have 2 labradors. 7. I hate my sister's neighborhood where everyone knows each other. I say hi to my neighbors, but that's about it.

I volunteered loadsssss! School committees, fund raisers, school trips, treasurer of 503c school groups - it’s fun, but exhausting! My kids went to magnet schools and parent volunteering was required as part of your childs enrollment - you had to log a certain number of hours per semester. The kids loved it! It created a close family lile atmospher. When magnet kids get to high school they are super sucessful because they have worked with parents in a non parent/child role, and they got hands on experience in record keeping, event planning, taxes, problem solving, etc.

Good vlog. Although I must admit, I miss the Prosecco late night live vlogs. May we have one on occasion? Love you guys! Take care

This is some bad info lol. Now most moms are over protective here. Yes had the mini van with 4 kids. We need trucks here in Montana so yes love my truck and no screens in the suto, look out the window. Americans are gossipy. I have had several business's, brick and mortar, online etc....no botox or face lifts for me tho its a thought. I think we are all different and usually its our heritage or genetics as here we have ideas of what italian descent or jewish or latin moms are like. Most of us tho America is our country ask each other so what are you meaning our blood line. For instance im englis, irish, mexican and Navajo Indian with a few other things but my ex husband was only german and irish and thier parents were only german on one side and german irish on the other. This really was apparent in the food choices and the different etiquette of those 2 countries. So yes our bloodlines also have much to do with what type of mom we are.

I grew up in the 1960s and 70s. We played wherever and I’m not sure my mom knew or cared where we were. I remember her drinking loads. As I got older, she went off to work and we were more on our own. Joel, you want a mom from the 40s and 50s. I don’t know how my kids raise theirs. I’m busy drinking. 🤣

@Chalet N Apparently alcoholism is something to be proud of in their family.

Stay at home mum to three boys here in Virginia-It was the BEST! My kids would have been upset if I didn’t volunteer or go on field trips! One reason I enjoyed it was that I was “mum” to a lot of kids whose own mothers were too busy. It was nice to hear...”Hi, Mrs. J!!, from all sides as I walked the halls of my kids schools. I knew all of theses kids from Grade 1 through high school graduation. I tutored many of them and still have contact with some now that they are adults. I am so thankful that my kids liked me and were never embarrassed by my spending so much time at their schools. (Believe me, they would have told me if they didn’t want me to be involved). While we are a vegetarian family, I never joined moms clubs. My boys are grown now and I miss those fun years. Husband was equally involved at their schools. I feel sad for moms who don’t stay close as the kids grow.

Yes! I was a volunteer mom, sports mom, rodeo mom. I always made a delicious breakfast every morning. Helped my kids with homework...now they have all graduated college and have their own families. I wore aprons and made my kids dance in the kitchen to AC/DC. Fun times!

I have one child grown and out of the house and a 3 year old. We have a minivan and I was so excited to get it. It makes transporting strollers, trikes, and scooters so much easier. Also, when traveling, there's plenty of space.

You forgot one... "Essential oils" for every random ailment or mood.

I’m thinking you guys got a ton of bad information.. the stay at home mom cooking and baking is pretty much gone... they did exist at one time.. the world has changed

Yes to so much of this! My neighbors and I have “coffee on the court” to let kids play and we all bring a lawn chair and our own coffee and just chat it up. Also my neighbors and I have 5am walk/ running time together before our families wake and then husbands head off to work. Also have a running club called “moms run this town” that has chapters in each suburb across the city. We coordinate running training and events via Facebook. We have an annual block party where we bbq together one a single grill, rent a giant inflatable waterslide for the kids, and stay up till the sun rises partying for a holiday weekend. We all have minivans/ SUVs The ladies all have matching wine tumblers with our street name on it “ladies of _____” 😂 We have our own Marco Polo thread where we update each other on all things - and we strategically track on nearby homes being sold to see who may be looking at the homes to buy. 😂🤣 Also have our own private Facebook group for our street to share photos, events like ladies wine night, guys poker night, etc… And more! Lol! This is what I came to the suburbs for it’s been fabulous 💫

Both of my sisters drive great big SUV’s!!! lol 😂 Keep up the great video’s!

I was the volunteer Mom. My kids elementary/primary school did not have a room set up as the library so my friend and I worked all summer to get the room painted, decorated and all in order and set up as a library so when the next school year started the kids would have a library. I lived in a poor area and most of the kids had never been to an actual library and I wanted to give them that experience. We cataloged all of the books in the proper order and we volunteered full time as librarians, with our toddlers in tow, for all of the years the kids were in elementary school. I did lots of volunteer work at my kid's schools, in our community, and in the city at large. I loved it and it gave me a feeling of satisfaction. I was the President of the Parent-Teacher Association (PTA), my kids were in sports, Boy and Girl Scouts, they went to art classes and we attended church many times throughout the week. We lived on one income and we were not even middle class. We put the kids first and didn't worry about what kind of cars we had and how big our house was compared to Smith and Jones families. I am happy to say I raised 3 very good human beings who are all adults now.

Joel saying "seriously" is life lol

When I was growing up, in elementary school, one's mother had to volunteer for one of the seasonal parties throughout the year by helping decorate and supply refreshments.

Joel hit the nail on the head with the safety thing and big cars. I always drive an SUV for this reason. Plus, it's just easier hauling groceries out of the car and having that amount of space is really convenient on vacations, roadtrips, etc. I think we drive much longer distance here in the states than in the UK also, so spending that much time in a bigger space is nicer. Smaller cars always feel cramped and uncomfortable to me when I'm in one.

Ha ha, my American ears were leaning so hard toward your UK accents (pronouning interior Rs like Hs) that when Lia first said moms I thought she was talking about marms...as in school marms and I was so confused. CHEERS!

I am an American mom of a now 24 yr old. We live out in the country, and I was a teacher at her elementary school. She was in rolled in Kindermusik at 18 months, gymnastics at three years, and dance also. At 10 she joined competitive cheer… All of these things gave me a chance to visit with parents while giving her a chance to explore and find things that she liked. She was very happy when she went to sixth grade and I was no longer at her school, because I was a helicopter mom. Now, she is a teacher at my old school… This made me very happy. As she was growing up she did not listen to the radio, we listen to children’s music, Donny Osmond, Rick Springfield and the Bay City rollers. She knows all of their music now… I do not think this makes her happy! She was not exposed to ugly music/words until she got in middle school. She turned out OK! She did student teaching in Ireland and was my tour guide when we visited London. I love to listen to you guys!

California mom here. Raising our son I did a lot of school volunteer work. My observation was , most mom volunteers were college graduates that gave up high level careers to stay home , so volunteering was their creative and industrious outlet.

So funny, so much is true!
