These aren't bad foster parents traits, these are I'm a teenager back off traits 🤣😂

"when I'm agitated and you keep asking me what's wrong" "so do you want me to leave you alone?" "......no" 😂💛

The fact that these are her “complaints” only proves perfection to me lol

Just in the way Miss A tells all about you.... you can tell she respects and appreciates you. I think you are all learning from each other and it's amazing!

"You can't get offended by this...." Had me laughing so much, she seems like such a sweetheart

So, basically, John's a dork in the morning in the eyes of Ms. A???? Welcome to life with a teen! I love how Ms. A is able to so honestly share her feelings with ya'll and us. Maybe next time you are tempted to say, "I'm sorry," say instead, "I am here for you."

can’t tell you how badly i wanna be friends with miss A

Welcome to parenting a teenager! Lol I feel like some of these were the same things I got annoyed about with my parents when I was a teen. However, my parents didn't listen to my feelings or how their actions/words affected me, so good job for you guys doing that!

I can relate to me wanting to clean something when I was younger and then my mom telling me to do it and not wanting to do it anymore lol

My husband talks too much in the morning as well. He also sings and gets generally hyped up. It’s a truly terrible thing 😖

“Have a terrific, terribly nice Tuesday” 😂😂😂😂 Miss A is so sweet and funny ♥️

I love how all these “predicaments” follow up with plenty of laughter. It is amazing to see foster parents like this fighting for the best possible life within their power.

I see you with the Ads now lol. Its seems like only yesterday yall had a bit of subs and all of a sudden your channel just exploded.

I love the comfortable banter, the teasing and the laughter. Her hand movements and mannerisms show that she’s happy with your family.

I think most teens think these things of their parents at some point. I think it proves you’re doing a good job because she’s a happy, typical teen. It’s really nice that she was comfortable enough to make the list. Some teenagers keep stuff all bottled up and wouldn’t want to do this activity. I think you guys have great communication which is an important part of any family. Best wishes.

I think “perfect” parents/foster parents aren’t ones that get it right every time, all the time, but are willing to adapt, communicate, comfort, and support the children they care for. It’s so evident that you two do all of that and more for the children in your care.

Whitney, you are great!The "so what should i do then?" warmed my heart.I love that you are not afraid to show her that you are not sure about certain things/you are human.My mother never ever asked me that and she always manipulated the situation in a way where it seemed like she knows everything and never makes mistakes!

I really enjoy Ms. A. She is just about my daughters age and she reminds me so much of my daughter and her friends! Your page was suggested to me and when I found out you were local, I was hooked! (We are in Northern Kentucky) I think it’s great that y’all are so open with each other and don’t get offended when you talk about things that need to be worked on. We are all human and all families (biological or not) are a work in progress! Tell Ms. A that she sounds adorable and she seems to be such a strong, sweet girl!

Sawyer is adorable and Miss A is really becoming a beautiful young woman.

I absolutely say “drink water” for EVERYTHING😂😂😂😂

I totally get the smiling issue. I also have a more serious demeanor and it’s so annoying when people tell me to smile when I’m perfectly happy. It’s ok to be serious and introspective. Doesn’t mean I’m sad, just means my brilliant mind is working overtime! I have a downturned mouth. It’s a genetic trait. My grandfather was the calmest, happiest person, and always had a downturned mouth. But the eyes were twinkling! Look at her eyes to get a better gauge of her feelings, rather then her face. Eyes don’t lie

I hope that girl knows what a gem she is! Her parents and you should be very proud!

She reminds me so much of my 17 year old sister, she very outspoken and loud but she’s so respectful. You’re amazing with how good you do with older children.

This video is confirmation you guys really are the best . she is one lucky girl and i think she knows it

Even though it's sad that Miss A has to be in foster care I think you guys are really lucky to have such a great young lady in your home. It's obvious you all have a lot of love for each other.

I adore the relationship you both have with Miss A. I love that you guys have such a fun time doing conversations like this. Many years and decades from now Miss A will randomly think about these very things and smile/giggle about it. I still do with these very things that the healthy and loving adults in my life did. They are some of the best memories I have ❤️

All of these things Miss A points out are things that just justify you being amazing people and parents! You are so loving, caring, and thoughtful. All amazing traits! Miss A will look back in 10-20 years and realize how amazing you both were/are. You’re influencing her life in a positive manner more than her, you, and all of us will ever know. BE THE VILLAGE! Love you guys so freaking much! ❤️

When you say sorry and you have done nothing ..... so sad . I love her so much

Her hair looking fantastic

Miss A is such a wonderful young lady and I truly believe she is destined for great things, I can’t wait to see where the world takes her 💛

Miss A sounds like my kid's "best friend" and I only put the " because they haven't met in real life, they play fortnite together. I like her, she sounds wonderful.

Guys. That didn't work. I still think you are an AMAZING Foster family. If anything it proved all my impressions were correct. You're just good people. Thanks for the inside scoop Miss A!

Ms A is HYSTERICAL

This was such a wonderful video! I literally had tears in my eyes at the end when she spoke about you guys not always recognizing how awesome you are. She did such a great job of articulating her feedback in this list and it was beautiful because it shows how safe she must feel with you that she is able to share these things and roast you a little bit and still know the relationship is strong and loving and can endure it. Her being able to let you know about how her position on the couch can indicate how comfortable she's feeling etc - so helpful! Also at the end when she went to get water, that made me smile. Such a great family, all of you - showing that we don't have to be perfect, we just have to do our best and be honest and make space for each other to express ourselves :)

Sounds like typical complaints from a teen. That means you’re doing a good job 😊

Miss A is so level headed, I just love her! Those gripes are pretty mild and all from a good place so I think you're doing an amazing job! To Miss A - I have always had chronic RBF and people *always* ask me if I'm ok, drives me nuts sometimes, lol

Everything she says it's like she's just a teenager. She seems so sweet and nice. She really respects you guys and that's awesome!

I love that you are getting her feedback and letting her be heard. She sounds happy and well cared for. I am learning a lot from you guys, thanks for your channel

How you guys interact with Miss A and try to learn from her, and educate yourselves to be better for her is incredible! I am thankful for her as my parents never cared to do anything like that for me. I don’t want kids anytime soon, but this gives me an example of the parent I want to be!

I love how y'all listened to her and gave her a voice. She is able to be herself and be honest and I'm sure she appreciates that. From one foster parent to another y'all are great role models for how foster parents should be. Heeeyyy Miss A. Happy Holidays Everyone!!!

I absolutely adore the relationship you have with Miss A. The fact that she feels comfortable to voice these little things with you and you’re so warm and receptive to her emotions

I'm 25, I'm married and my dad still tells me to smile and my husband can't talk to me in the morning before I have breakfast and like...45 minutes after I wake up 😂 You are great parents. Parents aren't meant to be best friends, you need to set boundaries, and you'll run out of patience sometimes, you may yell at some point. As long as you say: "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done X. I'm tired, but that's not an excuse to yell at you", Miss A will be learning about true love!!!! Best wishes and Merry Christmas!

I’ve always wanted to foster or adopt since I was a little girl. I’m from Cincinnati and I’ve never really met anyone that has fostered or adopted so it’s amazing especially because you guys are so close, it makes my heart warm ❤️ My only goal in life is to be able to provide enough that I can help a child like you guys have. Such an inspiration.

i’ve been here since you found out you were fostering miss a and seeing the relationship you both have with her and how you guys can joke around warms my heart

ayeee im so glad to see a sponsorship on this channel!! yall get that coin! 😂

That last one made me tear up. Yall may not be perfect but to that little girl yall are so much more than you'll ever realize. I wish so many more foster parents were like yall.

You think you say sorry too much? LOL 😂😂😂 that seems pretty normal to me!..... but then I am Canadian. 😝😊🇨🇦

this is eighteen minutes and thirty seven seconds of proof that you guys are amazing foster parents and miss a is an amazing kid

My husband already knows that when I wake up, the next hour or 2 is "quiet time" where I dont want him talking to me or bothering me lol

Miss A is so funny. I can see why you guys love her so much. You are doing a great job, as is she!

I loved this video! Miss A is hilarious

"Who's Jessica?" That part was so funny 😂😂

When y'all tell me to do something that I was about to do. Girl, I relate so hard

I just love how much y'all have made miss A feel like she is family too.

I’m so glad miss A has you and your husband in her corner and you have miss A in yours!!! She’s just added sparkle to the sunshine your family represents! 👏👏👏

I’m so grateful that you have her most of all but I’m also grateful that she has you. I know y’all don’t see it like that but really she’s so resilient and I can see in the maturation of your channel that she has been such a benefit to your family. I’m so grateful for all of your willingness to share your lives with us.

Adorkable and one in training...love you all. When Miss A is back with her parents and is cleared out of the system, I do hope we can see her undoubtably beautiful face!

awwww this was nice. John talking back in the day and dancing LMAO

Miss A is so eloquent and well spoken! She describes what she’s feeling so well. That’s an awesome trait to have!!! It’s really cool how you guys just let her speak and listen to what she’s saying :) I would’ve given anything for my mom to be like that when I was a teenager.

I shrieked with laughter right at the start and her dancing really improved the spon part cos I’ve heard a lot of spon and I usually skip them tbh. She’s really cool and you guys are so chill.

So I cried again this is so cute. I love that she knew that you would wanna hug her because she said you were awsome she knows the love you have for her. Working in child care I've had a kid that every teacher labelled difficult in fairness he had a rough home life and often after our interesctions I'd cry when he tells me how things are at home never in front of him but it tugged at your heart as from day one he just wanted me to just find him difficult and move on little did he know I like a challenge well months down the line after having a really rough day guess who he asked for me I don't think we had even given each other a high 5 before and we talked and he calmed down and he asked for a hug well I of course melted ...... I completely got sidetracked lol you guys are doing awsome even Miss. A says it so keep up the good work

None of those things are "bad." Pausing the TV to teach you or talking to you in the morning when you are grumpy. These are not "bad" things. This is evidence there is a great relationship between Miss A and this family.

That's so sweet for her to be so honest with you guys. Love you Miss A keep doing what you are doing girly I'm proud of you❤❤❤!!!

I know y’all posted this a long time ago but I just found you guys. I’m only 24 but I decided to foster a couple weeks ago. I am knee deep in classes and paperwork and y’all are such a huge help to me and my husband. I feel like I can’t do this or like they’ll hate me because I only wanna foster teens but y’all are really really helping me through this.❤️😭

It’s really awesome that you guys have such great open communication, I don’t even have that with my parents. Miss A is really funny and her vocabulary is impressive! ♥️♥️

I like her “complaints” 💝. It shows how you are a beautiful family, supporting, loving and bugging each other! 💗

Ms. A is awesome. We are waiting for our first foster placement and I hope we have such a fun relationship with our foster child.

So sweet!

I just want to hug all of you! Remember all of our souls are beautiful and connected as a 👪 love from Montana!

I swear when my stepdad tries to tell to me in the morning it’s the most annoying thing bc he’s a morning person and I’m not

I’m so glad you are providing this young woman with such a stable, loving, and warm home while she needs one over the holidays. Sending all my love to your family as well as Miss A’s.

Very nice. & super funny. So honest. Running from the hugs & hiding😂😂😂😂

Omg, if I didn’t love Miss A before (I did lol) I certainly do now! This is the best! Both honest, sweet, but truthful ❤️ what a great girl!!! She is going places.

Miss A 🤣🤣🤣 you are so loveable. The dancing behind when you were talking about Audible. I was crying. 😂

I pray Miss A is somewhere wonderful and safe and you have served her well. God bless you and all who come thru your door.

I've noticed that you have started saying "like" and talking like a teenager more and I LOVE THAT! Miss A probably feels so heard, and appreciated just because you speak the way she as a teenager speaks. 😍❤ Merry christmas! To all of you!

i loved this soooo much

You are blessed to have her!

This is hilarious!! I love how good of a sport you guys are!😂💕

She is so articulate and witty 💕 you seem like awesome parents and she is hilarious

Love this video concept!

You guys melt my heart

"to teach me about life 'back in the day'".... I love this girl!! Also, Miss A is so articulate and sensitive. 💜

This was so adorable! Laughed a few times!!

I LOVE the intro!👏🏻

So worried snd sounds like you guys are doing darn good!! She seems happy and confident at your home! She seems great with the kids and you can tell she loves them!

I love this video! Period!

Very brave family meeting.

Darn it...I’m in tears...just Awesome...!

You guys are awesome

"So you're saying we're not that bad?" "I'm not saying you're bad at all." 😭😭😭 This is by far my favorite video y'all have made together. 💗

Ms. A Always Appreciates An Awesome Adult Acting Appropriately 🕺🏼🕺🏼🕺🏼🕺🏼🕺🏼

What a blessing she is 💞 She seems like such an amazing kid.

Omg I just love you guys you’re soooo awesome x

I love that your dialect/ways you say things had slightly altered as you guys get more comfortable with each other. You can tell if you go back to Old videos, and then to this one. I love to see that.

She is amazing! Always makes me laugh and smile ! You go Miss A!

I love how normal and healthy this is❤️ you are all amazing !!

This made me smile through the entire vid! And I love Audible!

This video had me laughing! You all are great♡

I love Miss A!!! And y’all are awesome❤️
