Today’s video is an exceptionally long q&a about everything – parenting, youtube, birth, marriage, and so on. And I’ve officially decided to make these types of videos a series called Laundry Chats!

    My parents never told us Santa was real. Their mindset was that they didn’t want to lie to us, even for fun, and have us then doubt them about what they taught us about God later on. My mom pulled me aside one winter and told me she had a secret for me and that I couldn’t tell any of the other kids. She told me Santa wasn’t real and I honestly thought I was the coolest kid ever that my mom trusted me with “adult knowledge,” and I’d see my friends celebrating Santa and think “hehehe if ONLY you knew.” 🤣

    I really love watching your videos & respect all religious views as long as they aren't harming others. But WOW I struggle to understand the "I submit to my husband" thing…. I guess I just will never understand why you wouldn't expect/want to be viewed and treat one another as equals. Why would any God regardless of religion say that one sex is superior to the other? I find it hard to separate that from a society built upon stifling women. You can be a mother and a lover of god and all things under the sun you hope to be and not have to downgrade yourself as submitting to someone else…. I hope this didn't come across as judgmental or rude because that's genuinely not my intent – I respect your views, I just don't understand them & hey that's okay.

    I want to respond to the biblical advice that the husband has the final say on decisions.

    Disclaimer, I really like Delilah and I understand she is just sharing what they do and not trying to impose it, but I’m just commenting to critique these ideas from the Bible.

    I think people can come to a consensus without a gendered power dynamic. And big decisions should be based on mutual consent. If you flip the scenario that was asked about and imagine that instead it is the husband who wants kids and the wife isn’t ready – then the advice that the husband has the final call on decisions, so you can just pray he changes his mind, is more upsetting. Also, the Bible reference that says that the husband knows what’s best for his wife sounds patronizing / like he’s her parent.

    Women are equals and our voices and desires should be respected as such.

    I'm currently pregnant with my third kid (35 weeks along). Your videos help me zone out a bit and feel like I'm hanging out with a friend. Which in reality I don't really have friends. 😛 Kind of hard to have any when I live out in the country and a large part of my life is taken up by my kids/homemaking.
    I'm still kind of in shock that I'm having another baby. I have a 7 year old (soon to be 8) and a 5 year old. It's been so long since I had an actual baby. My kids have been catching me watching your videos. Your videos seem to be helping them realize what is to come (having a baby brother). They both make comments about how small William was when he was a newborn. Now they are kind of shocked at how big he has gotten. It helps them realize that babies really do grow over time and don't stay tiny babies. LOL!
    I'm so thankful my husband now has a remote job and works from home. Because this time around I am super busy. Both of the older kids are in school, I am in charge of their appointments, helping with homework, I drive them to/from school, I do the housework, and now I'm adding in all of these OB appointments. Plus because of COVID I can't bring anyone with me to my OB appointments. So the fact I can rely on my husband is SO helpful.
    **PS I'm really looking forward to hearing baby growls again. It's one of my favorite things that babies do. It's like they are pretending to be a little lion or dinosaur.

    i fold my laundry in various categories so then it is all in order when i put them away. i.e. shirts together and separated by each person, pants together and separated by each person so forth haha

    It's amazing how much trust you have in the Lord and that getting back in in touch with him has helped you so much

    I'm not religious, but I can see a change in your videos since you worked on your relationship with him

  19. @heather593

    I agree with the whole Santa thing. Do you straight up tell them no he’s not real if they ask? I’m not sure how to best phrase this when my daughter asks me

    Where do you get your sweaters?! They are so beautiful. This one and the beige/tan turtleneck one too. ❤️ love your channel for my commute home on the bus after a hospital shift. Relaxing, honest, and helpful.Thank you!

    I added this to a queue of all the videos I’ve wanted to catch up on while I’m cleaning the house (it has been a hectic few weeks!) and I just started folding laundry as Delilah said this was a laundry talk 😅 that seemed serendipitous and I just wanted to share 🖤

  23. @thetreasureinthefield

    William at 1:38 🤣🤣🤣 I have a separate hamper for each person and also towels and whichever hamper is filled most is what I do. My kids put their own clothes away. They are 5 & 3 🙂 I do a no golf system with their clothes and it has been so easy!

    Love your content but this comment about submission made me a little sad. Like even though you contribute so much, the birth of your kids, the income from your channel, your overall dedication to your family that is readily apparent and you would still believe and accept less than your husband simply due to your gender. Even if the bible told you so, like do you really in your heart believe thats the way it should be?? Or is it just a way to determine the resolution of conflicts and keep the marriage less argumentative? Cuz I gotta tell you, moms are the cornerstone of a family and your channel only continues to confirm this viewpoint for me. So if there's ever anything you really want, I hope you go for it and I hope your female viewers do too

    YES. One of the most overlooked and misunderstood components of those verses about wives submitting to husbands and husbands loving wives, (other than the fact that they're supposed to submit to one another as well), is the fact that husbands are commanded to love their wives just as Christ loved the church. Well…Christ DIED for the church (aka, His people). He committed Himself to make His people holy, whole, and taken care of in every way. He deeply loved His people. His heart broke for and He had constant patience, understanding, and compassion for His people. He sat with them, cared deeply about their troubles, and intervened on their behalf. THAT is what's on a husband's shoulders. That is the commandant set in place, so that when wives see husbands actually following this precedent, there is well-earned trust and respect. But this beautiful model ONLY works if both are truly on the same page, and commit themselves to this circle of trust and support.

    I love your videos! I’m curious what are your thoughts on Montessori approaches to raising children, I’m toying with the idea of a floor bed I’m just unsure, currently we bed share and honestly I love it just wish I got more sleep lol 😂

    I've always felt someone not liking dogs is a bad sign. But you're not like other not doggy people. I love dogs so much. Grew up with them. Can't imagine living without pets for too long. Love them so much, they bring so much comfort and joy and emotional goodness. But I understand, not everyone wants to pick up poo everyday and walk in all weathers. 😁

  33. @maisieliberty1319

    Such a good bible quote about learning and teaching God's word and ways. I always like that one. I hope to raise my kids to know Jesus, and come to prayer and know how much God loves them. So they can have the assurance that faith gives them, the help it gives and the values Jesus shows us to live. 🥰
