They're out there, we only need to nurture them and marry them and have their babies. Instead of calling them names and putting them in a 'friend' space and marrying the bad boy cause he's hot. Don't tell me this isn't happening 🤣. I'm an old lady, I've seen it happen every generation.

The little ones wearing sunglasses, im sure to protect their identity, they're so cute.
@JessieI
@JessieI 2 ай бұрын
Yes they are adorable 😄. But everyone, even children should wear sunglasses, especially now. Sun exposure is why we develop Cataracts. It may be that Peter knows this and is protecting his children's eyesight, or it may be that the children just like wearing sunglasses 😎😎. Ideally, we should be wearing sunglasses and hats from infancy. I'm in my mid sixties, I wish I had begun wearing them sooner, but I did begin wearing hats in my teens, and sunglass clips on my eyeglasses at 39 when they were available to me. I don't have cataracts yet. I'm sure I will at some point, my eye doctor says they are inevitable, but I can minimize the damage. So I never step outside without sunglasses and a hat. I developed a nice hat collection. 😃

@JessieI
@JessieI 2 ай бұрын
You know, it could be, anything is possible and Peter never says why. Amazingly, large sunglasses do seem to provide enough disguise many times. Apparently humans need to see a full face to make a good ID. But in cases where someone is well known, sunglasses are not always enough, ask celebrities if they always work 😆. I doubt Peter can hide these two from anyone who presently knows them, but it's probable that when they are adults these videos will not identify them very well, if at all. Few people resemble their childhood photos.
@JessieI
@JessieI 2 ай бұрын
Yes, it could be so. Only Peter knows. Humans definitely struggle to identify people without seeing a full face. Covering either the bottom or top half presents a problem for us. Sunglasses may not be a perfect disguise, ask celebrities 😄, but they're better than nothing, ya? People who know the kids now are likely to recognize them even with the sunglasses. However, because most of us do not very much resemble our childhood selves, these sunglasses may provide an extra layer of protection/disguise for them when they are adults.

My mom was so loving, but she had so serious mental health issues and she had to leave us and she went to a mental hospital. We visited her there as much as we're allowed to. We loved her so much and my dad tough us to love her too. Her brain was sick...not her body. I love her and I raised her with my children. She needed to be raised. Why I don't know but, I did it for her, because I always loved her and I would do ANYTHING for her.

My parents not only gave me a childhood I couldn’t have even wished for (it was amazing), but they are the ones who gave me a bed, clothes/shoes, security and unconditional love since the first moment we came together. I can’t believe how blessed I was that their hearts told them to adopt me and my brother, we were always meant to be theirs 💝

Peter I really feel for you. Our daughter was placed with us as a foster placement aged 15 months and adopted at 6 and 2 months. When she was about 10 or 11 I woke up one morning just knowing she was 'on loan' to us and on her 18th birthday her biological grandparents, who had become part of our family, passed on a letter from her biological mother and that started a horrendous few years until finally now we are totally estranged. I was 'used' to care for our grandson for most of his 9 years of life, and for that I am very grateful and I would give anything to havd her back in my life. She even denied I was her mother when I was in a shop with her and that hurt .e so much. I know as foster/adoptive parents we are supposed to be so happy when they reunite but what happens to us, who cares how we feel when our child goes off to someone who is really a stranger to them. I so hope you have a better outcome than I did.x

Unfortunately that's what happens in some cases adopted kids you raise to adulthood and then they move on with their life from adopted parents, and some of them to bio parents that literally didn't raise them, they weren't there for them glowing up when they needed some one when they wanted a parent at activities when they were sick who was there there adopted parents, but then the bio parents get to do the adult stuff just visit with the kids from time to time grandkids sorry you don't get to do that stuff, maybe you should ask what you did wrong that they don't want you in their life now, cuz it was nothing then why can't they have both adopted parents and bio parents in their life.

With such short notice, you handled it well. What Zay may not have understood at the time is that you also need time to process the reunion. Not that you didn’t want it to happen, but you also needed time to process what was happening, to go over your questions, to have time to even think of your questions, to reassure yourself that you raised him well, and time to get used to the idea of letting go. You’re such a rock for these kids. I think they forget that you’re human, too.

This video is a year old, but in the time he's been with you, you showed him how family life 'SHOULD BE'. He's old enough now to observe and realize what the situation is that he's in. He now has some 'Good Life Experiences' to compare to and judge a situation/s and he'll know how to handle his own life situations going forward. As a parent, you can teach them, but what they do with the info is on them going forward. I LOVE that you stressed and made sure he knows that you will ALWAYS HAVE HIS BACK, and 'You need me, I'm there!"

So I can't imagine how you are really feeling inside. I do hope that Zay enjoys time with his Mom- he is such a lovely boy & so deserving of all things good.

What protection do you feel for that little girl being held that way by that 18 year old boy? She also wanted to sit in his lap when they get back in the car. "he is such a lovely boy & so deserving of all things good" He don't get to have a lap dance from an 8 year old girl wiggling in his lap.

@@evonne437 I noticed that closeness as well, but with some discomfort. Perhaps better that he's gone before there'd be an undesirable relationship between the young man And his half sister. Some nasty things happen in life. As a parent you have to be sensitive to how children relate. Life is full of good as well as negative spirits.

All this family love talk doesn't stop me from saying something when it comes to little girls. I know he is gone for now, but I bet Peter will let him come back. Peter needs to talk to the little girl about jumping in men's lap especially if he is going to dress her in booty shorts and dresses and swimsuits.

So true! She should be grateful & respectful enough to at least ask to speak with Peter first. Someone who has been caring for your child fantastically for 2 years.

Please, take Peter into confidence next time and don't spring a surprise like this on him next time. Do respect his feelings as your Dad. Just one night is not enough to tell your Dad you're travelling about 8 hours to see your Mum you haven't seen since you were 12/13 to spend a week. You're such a sweet boy and we all can see it. So please don't let Mum or someone else come in between you and your Beloved Dad Peter. Its ok to build back your relationship with your Mum but do it right & slowly. Sending prayers & loads of love to you all. 🙏💙💙💙💕🙏

Zay knows this and feels safe testing the waters. Zay will do well in life knowing this. 💚
