I wish you'd had more childhood homes so that you would tell us more stories. They're so comforting somehow.

Deli, wouldn't it be a fun idea to have ur mom renovate the house how she would've had it? ❤️

"I would poop everything out" I've never heard such an accurate description of what it was like to have lactose intolerance as a teenager before 😂

I love when you tell personal stories, especially embarrassing ones! Everyone’s embarrassed themselves a few times in their lives & I think it’s better to laugh about it otherwise you’ll cringe about it for the rest of your life lol

I love the collar up and slightly opened. It looks very classy.

This was a really endearing video. My home life was pretty rough growing up so it always makes me happy when I hear about folks who had a nice childhood with loving parents. It reminds me that all the effort I am putting in to raise my children in a positive and supportive home is so worth it 🖤

One thing I really love about deli is how open she is with us. No shade to any Internet personality who doesn’t feel comfortable sharing, but my life wouldn’t have been the same without hearing that poop hole story 😂

I appreciate your pooping under the house story. I have a lot of poop stories but I’ll tell you my worst one. When I was young it was in fashion to have colonics. If you don’t know what that means you’ll have to look it up because I’m not going to describe it here. Usually right after you have a colonic, before you leave the practitioners office, you use the bathroom. For some reason I didn’t have to go and she had another client coming so I had to go home. I only had a 15 minute drive home… But that wasn’t enough time. I made it into my neighborhood and was within half a block of my house when I couldn’t hold it anymore and I ended up going in my car all over my front seat and myself and the carpet and it was humiliating and disgusting and it took me hours to clean it up. By the way that’s a very cute house! 💜😂💜😢

I loved this little trip down Deli’s memory lane. Maybe you could build some of your friends’ houses, your other relatives’ houses or houses around you back then that you remember liking (or not liking at all and improving them) so we can get some more Deli story time 😊 Also, collar up and open, it’s just classy

I just wanted to come into here to say that in the UK, pot plant is a perfectly normal thing to say for a plant that is in a pot, so you are not weird about saying that at all in my opinion 💜

Thank you for taking us through memory lane! And for making this house based on a real Australian home. Your home once ofcourse. It is so different from what I am used to here in the Netherlands. I'd love to build the home my family lived in since I was 3. I have little to no memories of the rental house we lived in before that, but from photo's. But the home I grew up in since then had a horrible floorplan. My dad was a builder and had a great 10 year renovation plan for it. Taking it room by room as soon as there was enough budget, so we didn't have to live in a mess and we never did. I remember having bright orange carpet in my bedroom and my sister had just as bright green carpet. The previous owner hadn't renovated it since the 70's. Everything was dark brown and bright orange and green ☺ Due to an accident at my dads work it took a lot longer though and adjusting this weird floorplan was off the table, but we did a decent job refurbishing and it was nice it became a team effort in which I learned a lot of basic renovation skills.

i actually love that you share personal stories. Your young self must've been so stressed. ive nearly had times like that

Deli, I've never pooped under my house but I looooove when you tell those stories! Sometimes society makes us feel bad for weird things that happened to us. But if we think about it, weird embarrassing things happen to anyone! Let's laugh about them!

I have a public pooping incident (multiple, actually). My mother is a landlord for apartments, and whenever a tenant moves out, she cleans up the apartment after them so it’s ready to be rented out again. Sometimes she’ll hire a cleaning lady to clean instead. She did this a lot during my childhood, and since I was young (7, 8, 9), my mother would bring me along with her when she was cleaning out an apartment. I guess sometimes the toilets didn’t work, so whenever I had to go to the bathroom, she would bring me to the dumpster outside the apartment building and instruct me to poop and/or pee behind it. It happened a lot. Good times haha. (To clarify, these are suburban apartment buildings, so the dumpsters have fencing around them. Meaning I had privacy.)

i love your vulnerability sharing parts of your life with us. as a resident in counseling, i can say yes, sharing your story is so therapeutic. i’m glad you have memories you can look back on and laugh at. also, i think collar down looks good, but you do you!!!

I think it’s great that you’re so open about your stomach problems! The only way to remove stigma is to talk about it. I’m sure it’s comforting to others that have the same problems. Also, in Norway we say "potteplante" to plants that har in pots, so exactly like you say, pot plant.

Poor deli! Poo is normal. Everyone does it! In America we don’t like talking about things like, poo, periods, sex, or anything “personal”. But I appreciate how open you are! It’s refreshing! ❤

one of my favourite deli stories is the poop bath story with her sister and the goggles. i will never forget that story bc i laughed so hard. i think it was in the old childhood home video from a few years ago but it was so funny

Such a wholesome family dynamic and quite a nice home too : )

anyone else appreciate deli being able to talk so openly about pooping??! hell I’m pooping rn! 🥴😂😅

aw i loved this video! as an aussie around the same age, your childhood home felt so familiar to mine: open-plan kitchen/living/dining, bright orange floorboards, beige everything, weirdly black kitchen. they must have been built/reno'd around the same time! super nostalgic. even the shared experience of going to the back yard, snapping off some aloe, and squeezing the jelly onto a particularly bad sunburn brought back so many memories! i think our aussie culture sometimes gets overshadowed by the usa since so much popular media is produced there, so it's cool to see you sharing it with the world, even when it's just simple little things :)

I have been thinking of building my childhood home as well. This just gives me more incentive to do so.

I recently built my childhood home which was an awful duplex across from an abandoned brewery in the WORST part of town. I did a wholesome family play through where everything was nice and clean and cozy and they had lots of family meals together and it was therapeutic to sort of give a sim child the peaceful existence I always wanted 😅

As soon as you mentioned the Easter Egg Hunt you had with your family and how you climbed down the fence, I remembered that your sister has the video of it on her channel and I realised it was that house you have built in this video. :D

What an amazing idea. You’re such a talented person. Especially in regards to the Sims and KZfaq! You’re truly an inspiration to me! And I feel your pain in regards to the allergies situation, I feel like the weather keeps changing from summer to winter every other day (at least here in New England), that my allergies are so confused that they’re like “we’re just gonna go into overdrive mode!!!! All hands on deck!!!” Lol

I love when you tell us personal stories about "When Nature Calls" and about our cycles. Because, at the end of the day we are ALL human and need to go when we NEED to go. I grew up not knowing I was lactose intolerant, I would be sick ALOT, or go to the toilet A LOT. I did NOT know, till I was in my late teens. 🥺 It was horrible. I would feel sick on ALL journeys on ANY transport. I was bullied a lot for spending time in the toilets... wherever I went, or if they had to pull over for me to go sick. People teased me and labelled me very inappropriate and hurtful things. No blood tests came up with anything out of the ordinary, so I had to suffer till lactose intolerance or milk intolerances were more well know. I live in Wales, we are proud of our cows milk. It's a thing here to be proud of Welsh produce. So that information was slower getting here, when I was young. People can be so cruel to people who don't deserve the hate. I get ya Deli, we can stand together with our lactose intolerance stories together. ☺️🌟🌿💅

I usually wear it collar down! Love this build video! Makes me want to build my childhood house! 🤣

These things do happen … and they can happen a little more as you get older. You just get caught out. I do have a collection of supplies in my car just in case anyone needs anything. Australia is a big place and we do a lot of cross country driving and sometimes toilets are not well stocked or so available. Good to be ready for anything!

I loved this video!! It's so fun learning about Australian culture in your videos too. Things you don't think are interesting are totally cool to an American

Own your Aussie accent deli!

so interesting to see other people's childhood homes. Growing up my family lived in an expanded blue cape cod home in NJ and it was lovely. The backyard was huge and it felt very private. Walking distance to town and schools was an added plus. My parents recently sold the house after renovating it over the years, so I decided to make it in the Sims 4 and I had so much fun picking out furniture that looked identical to the ones in our house. I think everyone should make something personal to them in the Sims. It's great to reminisce and I have my current legacy household living in my childhood home. It does get pretty surreal though

Deli talking about her family and childhood warms my heart so much

Deli you are not alone. I came home from school one day and was locked out, didn't have a key, and no way inside. I had undiagnosed IBD and when you have to go, you have to go. So I went and pooped in my backyard behind the shed. 💩❤️

Love when it's time for a Deli's build video🥰🥰🥰

Omg Deli, I did have something similar happen when I was a kid 😂 rode the bus home and we lived in a townhouse and I forgot my house key and had to pee SOO badly. I couldn’t hold my pee and I peed myself right in front of our front door with neighbors around I was like 7 or 8 probably lol. You’re not alone! 😂

I laughed so hard when you shared your story. Thanks for sharing it. It made my day😂

I vote collar down.

I like the collar down personally, but the collar up looks good too! I'm not a huge fan of turtlenecks on me, so I opt for scarves most of the time! As for the house I grew up in we had an upstairs, and downstairs, a split level. My parents had added a room and bathroom on later for my older siblings. It was definitely smaller with the spaces that were there. I grew up with two older siblings and I had my own friends and all of course.

here it's potted plant if it's in a pot but generally just "we have several plants." inside or outside "we have flowers in a planter and a garden."

The way you talk about your family is so sweet! If you guys are comfortable, you and your mom should do a video together where you build her dream home! 💌

I love how you feel so comfortable sharing stuff like this with us! I am a second born too but I grew up between two brothers and I was very much a tomboy!

For the fleece, tutrleneck mode is always the way. It's comfier, it's warmer, you don't have to worry about the zipper jangling about. It's just the superior choice.🤐

It was a very sentimental build and I enjoyed listening as you talked about your childhood. I grew up in the United States of America in a little marina village. Our house I'm going to say was kind of like a Spanish Gothic style was made of these great big bricks and I remember the Gargoyles that we had on our front porch. The house had a very creepy Sinister feeling to it but I spent 13 years of my life there. And I miss it

It’s true what you said about bathtubs. In my parent’s house there were two, but the bathroom that me and my brother used got turned into a cute shower with tiles and glass doors but I still went into my parents bathroom because of the tub😂 I have a shower now and I miss being able to just relax for a while in water.

I think it would be great to see you re-do your other childhood home. Maybe just to see how more accurate it is now that we have more packs and cc, or maybe you could redecorate it or renovate it to what you think it's the best use of the space. Lots of love for you, James, and Bowser from Argentina ❤️🇦🇷

I wish I could tell you about a childhood home but I lived in rented houses most my life and migrate countries and towns every year or two years. I would also frequently change schools so I have never been in one place too long. I guess the longest place I've lived is this one house I had in Malawi for about 4 years. It had a huge garden in the front (technically the backyard) with a blackberry tree and rose garden that my mum was obsessed with. And where the entrance was, there was a giant mango tree near the 2 car garage, maid quarters separate to the house, a vegetable garden, and chicken. The entrance area was mostly sand/soil and no grass. I don't remember how many rooms the house had but all the floorboards and wooden features were a dark wood and it was quite pretty. There are 2 more houses I stayed in for 3 years consecutively each in Dubai. One was a complex with huge rooms overall. It had a one person garage, a big kitchen with blue counters. Near the stairway, we had a giant 10 seater table shoved in the corner. The living room was huge and my mum split the two halves of the room into the African living room and Middle Eastern living room using furniture and decor pieces that she collected over the years. We had this chandelier made with dried banana leaves and hand-crafted animal figures in the African living room with all dark furniture, whilst middle eastern was more of a sandy brown theme with Arab decor pieces and had the main TV unit. There was a indoor garden area as well where my mum grew plants again. And then upstairs was just a 3 bedroom 2 bathroom situ.

Our house was built in the early 2000s and had that exact colour aubergine wall in the living room

I tried to built my childhood home just last night! I found out it is soooo difficult to make the floorplan closer to reality, either it makes my house REALLY big (which it was not) or things are all cramped together (which also wasn't the case!). But was such a nice challenge and even looking at it made me feel all nostalgic :')

Love that you share your embarrassing stories. I’m glad you feel comfortable enough with your community to share those things. Better to laugh about it than be ashamed of something that happens to a lot of people. Also, my vote for the jacket is collar up.

My first home was a basement level that my parents rented from this nice single lady. The kind where it’s raised so we did have windows. But there wasn’t much room so my parents slept on a sofa bed and most rooms had multiple purposes. In the attic of the house there was also a young lady with sea turtles and when she went on holiday we would always feed them wich I really enjoyed. It was a very cozy place but it was really necessary to move since I got bigger so when I was 7 we moved into our current house with both a living room and a dining room wich I remember really impressed me. We also have a big garden. The old house did have a garden but we couldn’t do anything to it since it wasn’t our house

I love these types of videos. It is always great to see where you grew up and to hear personal stories. When I see things like this I feel like I know you as a friend personally. I would love to see more videos of your childhood. It would be cool if you could maybe recreate your Pa & Grandy’s house. I recently recreated my grandparents home and it brought back so many childhood memories. ❤

Collar down is really in this winter apparently 😁 saw so many hoodies and sweaters like this one at h&m

I love delis videos. So unassuming. “Heres my childhood house. So cute right? This is the room I took a dump under” 😂😂😂😂

As someone with IBS, I'm shocked I do not have a similar story of being locked out and having to go. Thanks for being so real, Deli! I know I get caught up in thinking youtubers and such don't deal with things I do. You're very relatable! We're all human. Thank you for your stories. This was so comforting

My family is from the Caribbean and we use aloe vera for a lot of things including burns. It’s a really amazing plant!

One of my parents lived on a golf course and I was on a super long walk one day and same thing happened.. i was too far gone and started to get the sweats, figured there was no way I could make it back in time - so I did what you did 😂

turtleneck is super cute, collar up is totally girlboss, and collar down is the trendiest way

you seem like a kind person and a great friend...

I grew up in four homes but spent the longest time in the last house where we lived before I got married. My parents still live there with my 7 siblings ☺️ I've wanted to create this home on the sims, but I never have... I might do it now after this video. Such warm memories☺️ thank you for sharing Deli!

The most 00’s Aussie house I’ve ever seen haha

I just had to say from someone who has IBS I loved your poop story 😂 I have had some awful similar situations and I love that we can laugh about them! Love that you’re so open and you’re so relatable! X

I remember watching your first childhood home build when you first created it ❤️❤️ omg how much time has passed 😭😭

Omg I remember the face reveal! I kinda forgot that we didn’t know what you looked like for so long! & I remember when you asked us to guess your name because it had Deli in it somewhere. I think I said Delilah or something 😂 I’m so happy you & James are still making videos after so many years - I’ll never get bored of watching you guys 💚 thank you 💚

I don’t understand how can I like a person I never met in person this much, hahah. You’re so lovely, Deli ❤️🫶

I'm literally crying listening to you talking about how supportive your family is, mine could never, there's to much drama

Deli always makes my day better ;)

I lived with my grandmother when I was a kid in a house that my great grandmother owned. One of my great uncles built it. It was on a cinder block foundation, had a screened porch on the front, a staircase on the side that lead to the kitchen/ laundry area, a small cozy dining room with a large china cabinet (and a creepy Mardi Gras mask), a cozy little living room with an old and large TV and a record player in the corner, 3 bedrooms, and 2 bathrooms. It was also very haunted. I think I might try to build it in the sims. It will give me an opportunity to practice using terrain tools because the house was downhill, which is also why it was on a very tall foundation. My hometown was along the Mississippi River which often overflowed when it rained and caused a lot of flooding. What if we made this a trend? Sims builders could build their childhood homes and use the hashtag “my childhood home” or something similar. That would be a lot of fun.

This makes me want to make my childhood houses in the Sims, but I can't make 1 specific that was in Such a Crooked Building that I can't ever replicate it in the Sims

When I first saw this title I read it as "burnt" your childhood home and I was like wow Deli that's very chaotic and kinda sad but I was glad that it's just building it :)

i love the turtleneck vibe actually :) feels like that style is back in

"It was sometimes dark here too" Best phrase of the day 😅

Turtleneck version looks straight outta spa day 😎👍

I really loved this video very relaxing! I also loved hearing your childhood memories. Awesome build

Deli, since you shared your embarrassing bathroom story-I’ll share mine: I was in my family car and we were in the middle of nowhere and I had to go worse than I ever had. The one gas station in sight wouldn’t let me use their bathroom so I had to go behind the dumpster. As I was relieving myself I looked up and saw a security camera aimed right at me! I’m sure the clerk shared that story with all their buddies.

Hi Deli! I have started to do all the houses I have lived in. I am what we call a "Military Brat", which means my dad was in the military, and we moved an average of every 2 years. My husband and I have also moved a lot, since we have been married. When I am done, I should have about 24 houses. I am 44, and I can't remember the first 5 houses of my life. I am starting with the one we moved to when I was 6 years old. I love that you share all your stories with us! I would love to do a KZfaq channel, so I can give some of the stories I have from my many homes. And, you are definitely not the only one who had embarrassing stories. I have quite a few.

In love with how relatable and unbothered you are 😂

I have had that same experience i was locked out and had to go behind a tree at my aunts house but wat made it worse was it was winter time in the snow

Great video

Thank you Deli, it was fun to see your childhood home and hear your stories. I recently built (in Sims 4) all the houses I remember living in growing up. (There were several, we moved several times, once across country to the state my parents home state) I'm actually using one for one of my legacy family kids grown up.

There is No One in the entire Sims Community quite like Deli. You will get the Real Real whether you want it or not. That poop story...most of us have one. I don't judge. Mines happened during Fire Drill in 3rd grade in Alaska in Winter!

You're so lucky to have childhood memories good or bad, Myself I don't remember anything of my childhood. So, it's so sweet seeing you go back and build one of childhood memories ❤

I appreciate the poop stories and the aussie accent! I have pooped MANY times in the woods because we would go snowmobiling and camping often. One time, we were driving in the Adirondacks to go camping. We came across a man who was bleeding in the road after crashing his motorcycle. My mom pulled over to help him and hail down another car to go back into town to call 911 (no cell service in the mountains) My 80 y/o grandma had to poop so she went into the woods to do her business. Then my friend and I had to pee so we went into the woods to pee. While walking out of the woods, my friend - in her flip flops - stepped in my grandma's poop 😂🤢 My mom, after having stabilized the man from the accident and safely get him in the ambulance had to find a bag to put my friend's flips flops in and find wipes. Over 10 years later and I still tease my friend about it. The motorcycle man was okay and he sent us a Christmas card that year thanking us 💕

this is such a cute video, i love hearing about all the details and fun stories ❤❤

My family are oversharers to the extreme and they all have a story involving an emergency outdoor bathroom incident. Some, multiple stories. And they always bring them up at dinner time 😭

that’s fun to build childhood home! i move like every 2-3 years during my childhood so i could never relate 🥺 but its fun seeing you doing it ehe! - again love from Malaysiaaa 🇲🇾❤️

DELI, i am loving this video already- i love the jacket collar down, i think you look so pretty!!! and the lindsay lohan movie was so. good. i watch a lot of hallmark so i’m used to the good-bad films, but i loved the movie! i love her male counterpart (chord overstreet) so that was a helpful factor. love your videos 💓💓

Ohh I think I’ve seen this house on Sisligracy’s Christmas vlog. I remember thinking it was a really nice home!

Collar up boss! 😄

Felt chills when you mentioned you started your KZfaq career in that very own room and I was one of your earlier subscribers. I was turning 7th grade that day and now I’m in my 3rd year in college 😭 It’s amazing how far you’ve come, Deli.

I went in a shower on a retreat and it stunk up the entire building and wouldn’t go down the drain at first. They called a plumber because they thought a sewage pipe burst. No one knew it was me (I don’t think! Omg can you imagine….) Queue Liar Liar scene when Fletcher goes “it was MEEEEE”

my childhood home is actually really huge, I'm inspired to do mine now in the sims xD

Collar up and Down ... love both! Lol Deli ur great

I actually loved all of them. I normally hate the turtleneck way but it looks so good on you 🥰

So cool looking back at your childhood! It's so sweet you shared your memories with us! I'm much older than you, so this was in the 1960's. I remember climbing out my grandmother's bedroom window to sit on the front porch roof which had a slight pitch, to watch over the neighborhood and the cars going by. I loved being high up where no one really noticed me. I would have been in so much trouble! Don't beat yourself up too much about the sunburns when you were a kid. The intensity of the UV rays has changed everywhere. It would be much worse today I rarely used any sunscreen as a kid at the beach and rarely burned at all. My sister did tho and my grandmother would put vinegar all over her burns. I'll never forget the smell in the tent at night! My kids all had skin tolerance that in the early 80's they never burned with minimal sunscreen. Just once in the morning protected them all day By the '90's they needed lotion at least twice a day to avoid burning. Today they need a much higher SPF because of the climate change. At least now we are aware of the dangers!

This is a very nice and big space for when you were you younger! That’s not what it was like for me

Collar up and collar down both look great. But the turtleneck in that angle with that color looks like those bite protection suits they use to train dogs in law enforcement and I can't shake that image

I tried creating the apartment I lived in for 8 years (from birth) in Sims 2 multiple times but I never finished it. The house we live in since 2008 is so badly built that trying to make it in any Sims game feels impossible to me. But the best one I've done so far is in Sims 4. It also isn't done.

What a beautiful sounding childhood

You should redo the seasons lp home! It is my favorite sims 4 house you have ever built, and I would love to see you remodel it with some newer furniture/cc! 🤍

Tell your stories! It's life, everyone has done crazy things and no shame Deli....
