What Billie Eilish's parents had to sacrifice to make her a superstar
The names Billie and Finneas are familiar to anyone who is even a little bit into pop music. But to become so famous and successful, their parents had to work hard and sacrifice a lot of things for their children. What unusual rules did their family have? What did their parents have to give up to make their children famous?

To add to this...Finneas had severe anxieties as a child, so he was home schooled. Billie also has anxieties, learning disabilities auditory processing disorder, as well as Tourrette's Syndrome. Homeschooled, too. This means that Maggie could not work full time. They bought a small house in northeast LA. Patrick fixed it up, and they flipped for the 2 bdrm bungalow that they live in. Then, the 2008 housing crash affected them, and they almost lost the house 🏠 Billie said that they had no spare money at all at that time. That's why she wore thrift store clothes. She said that going to Target was "fire" from her perspective. The Baird-O'Connells truly dedicated themselves to their children's best interests while working hard and living modestly.

Contrast this to the Spears family and you understand how special this is. What a good family. My dad was the set builder for a few plays my sister did, she always had a main role if not the lead. My mom did a lot of the painting. Those sets were never safer or more beautiful then those productions, so much so that a prop house gladly took several pieces after each show run was over.

the part Billie wanting to put them in a movie, got me teary eyed. Dreams never die. We just make sacrifices as life goes on and piles up, and try our best to still achieve them. Billie deserves it all
Great video. Very insightful. Billie's parents did an amazing job at nuturing and fostering their kids passions. Took it very seriously. Now they're reaping the benefits of doing that.

Most people hear "actor" or "musician" and think that means money. Most career artists make, at best, a lower middle class or middle class living, without any form of benefits or retirement. They also pay high taxes due to being self employed, and need to pay in quarterly/estimated form. Great to put out things like this to spread awareness.
❤ Refreshing. No wonder they seem so genuine and not ruined by their success.

This is incredibly soothing to my soul. I was raised in an incestuous family where there was hardly any sacrifices from my parents for me. This is so sweet to hear about how these parents showed love to their kids in very concrete ways as well as emotional support. I am re-parenting myself now with this family as an example. Many blessings to everyone out there from abusive upbringings that we can all change our mindsets towards health and peace. 🙏💖

I didn’t know about Billy’s parents. But I love how close they all are, and their success is a testament to what can happen when parents are equally devoted to fostering their children’s talents and creativity. Great video!
Billie and Finneas deserve all the good they're getting and I adore their parents for being hardworking
This is so heartwarming! I'm glad a family like this exists in our world.
Thats why shes such a powerful artist- she comes from a beautiful and humble place.
Billy and her family is such a humble family...Regardless all the struggles / hardship, they always stick together. That is what family for. And Billy omgggg I was o lucky to see her and Finneas on live concert last month !
I love this video - I've always wanted to get more insight into Maggie & Patrick's love, support and contribution to Billie and Finneas - the pictures from their past, which aren't in "The World's A Little Blurry" are so wonderful. Thank so much for doing this. Like someone commented before me, I sure hope this Omicron virus bottoms out in the next 4 weeks and the world will get to experience Billie's superstardom. I personally believe that Billie is truly a great star, whose STAR will continue to rise. But more than anything, I want Billie - and Finneas - to be well, safe and to have peacefulness and well-being in their very young lives. P.S. This is January 10 - congratulations on the Golden Globe!
I have SO much respect for the whole family! Seriously inspiring, not as much from the industry success but from the perspective of creating an amazing family that are supportive of each other. I love to see amazing people have amazing things happen for them in life!
What amazing parents! It’s nice to see how much love and support they’ve shown their children.
They gave the most important to their kids …LOVE.
Such a beautiful testimony on the sacrifices parents are willing to make for the successes and sake of their children. May God bless every one of you mothers and fathers out there who are present, supporting, and loving to your littles, for YOU are the examples.
It is a good house rule if your home schooled or during school holidays when you don't need to get up early, I find the best time to be creative and come up with ideas is at night.
Wow, I cannot imagine artists parents supporting their kids to become artists as well. Usually I have seen the pendulum goes to the opposite side from one generation into another. I know a family which was like billie's, the musical parents taught music at home to their son and then he graduated as an Engineer and later did MBA to become a worker in corporate world. He does well financially. And here me being an Engineer and doing well, teaching my daugher music as a side thing and asking her to focus on being a professional Engineer or Doctor.
she has the most incredible parents, I'm jealous in a good way

They are such a great example of parents to creatives. Love that Billie pays them as crew, this is how you take care of family 😍
They are such an Inspirational American Family, Love it.
I have parents like that. It is the most amazing gift and you recognize what a special gift it is while you are growing so you can savor it and glow in their love and wonderful parenting. Then I lost Dad to cancer. It punched a big black hole in my soul that can never be repaired and I struggle to this day to function when I think of him. It doesn’t matter how old you are, if you lose a parent, a good one that did their job and made sure you knew you were loved above all else, it cripples you. And you don’t recover. It doesn’t get easier, you learn to breathe through the pain and keep it off your face. Some days, when it is most acute, I am certain, it would have been better to have never loved at all. And then the guilt rolls in cuz mom is still alive and still loves, but she’s broken too. None of us are the same. So everything is different and your pain is sharper when seeing her pain.

So sweet to see a functional family. I come from a very dysfunctional family, and me as parent my self make my best to be not only food and shelter provider but also a spiritual parent guiding my son towards the best version of him self. But we the parents can do only so much, so I strongly believe that the greatest supports comes from above the clouds.
Wow, the love. What a great family. This report gives significant insight. Beautiful 😍
What amazing parents. No wonder Billie is so talented.
Its great they have gratitude. But also.. most parents dont love their children in a real way but only control them or demand what needs to be done or leaves them to live on their own struggle on their own and sneer at them when the child is upset at something and chastise them for not knowing what the real world is like. I think if we are truly kind and loving then gratitude is a byproduct. Expressing it and communicating it must be taught, as well. It is beautiful to see such a close family, and real true nurturing. I am so glad the girl i babysat showed me Billie Eilish. I wish i could have afforded the concert for us without it taking me too close to zero. Im just a loser but i know if my parents were for me and not against me, i would have made it to a different place than i am today. Still, even with that support, she expresses so much that i can relate to, with such cool calm collected sass. I feel the sadness, the loneliness of our Aquarian Moon hearts.. i wish Billie to be loved thoroughly, the way she desires to be loved, completely and wholly. No more sadness or less than. I appreciate the effort of the whole family to bring us this art.

Yes exactly!! There's very often a solid reason behind why someone might be ungrateful, even if they aren't yet fully concious of what that reason is themselves. Far too many parents weaponise their role as caregivers to demand gratitude and affection from their kids, sometimes after years of inflicted chilhood abuse. If you're truly a good parent and fulfilling your child's needs, they'll almost certainly be grateful to have you. Gratitude comes from feeling loved, supported, listened to, and just generally having your emotional needs met in some kind of way, and if you aren't willing to meet your child's emotional needs as a parent, don't expect your kids to be grateful for you.

This honestly makes me cry. Parents should be like this. My parents never supported my passion, instead they always looked at me like I'm a loser. I never gave up, but its hard to go on with no support.
The upside is music was the inspiration, no matter how many challenges they had as a family, and it explains Billies incredibly deep and heartfelt lyrics💜
They've got great parents and likewise they've got great kids!! 👏🏼♥️💯 To be ABLE to take care of their parents after all their parents have done for them, is a blessing. 🙏
