what the hell I wasn't prepared for the emotional validation-attack

4:58 I teared up! 😭 I think everyone deserves a caring, soft-spoken British 'mum' to tell you how proud she is for doing your best.

Jess: hello darling Me: I'm not crying you're crying

Oh Jessica, your breakout of saying how proud you are is so good! You need to make a short of it so people can play it when they need it ❤️

The used clothes meltdown was pretty hilarious.

I was today years old when I realized I’ve never heard my mother speak to me the way Mama Jess just did. Thank you so much for this!

THAT WAS NOT FAIR!!!! I'm older than you and the "I'm proud of you" literally made me instantly cry. I had no idea how much I needed that.

Not me, who has lost my mom, bawling at Jessica telling us how proud she is. 😭❤️🥰

My mom is dying and, emotional stuff aside, it's physically taxing and thankless. Hearing a complete stranger who is younger than me say she's proud shouldn't have hit as hard as it did. Thanks, Mum.

I love when Claudia disrupts the intros. 😎 We need this to continue.

When you both were saying that Roo didn't want you to cuddle or hold hands, I chuckled. Apparently when I was 8 months of age, I hadn't quite figured out crawling and definitely couldn't walk. But one day my parents hugged and kissed (on the other side of the room) while I was playing on the floor and apparently I got so jealous I jumped up and ran over to separate them, because only I was allowed hugs and kisses. (🤷toddler logic I guess) So I went from scooting on my butt to running to stop my mum and dad giving each other a hug and kiss. 🤣

That emotional validation was for ME and I didn't even know I needed it. Love you both!

More direct Mom talks please. As a first time momma myself with a very complicated relationship with my own mom... I needed that. I'm almost ashamed at how much I needed that. You two are so wonderful 💕 💖

"Hello darling, its me mama :)" I have a great mom and we have a wonderful relationship but that still brought TEARS to my eyes, my mom lives a 20 hour drive away from me 😭

Your message about being proud was so beautiful. You should set up a cameo doing similar videos for people.

*Captions will be ready in about one hour, thank you for your patience!*

As someone who cut of my abusive mom, that bit about being proud of someone doing their best made me start crying.

Me: why everyone is crying in the comments? Jessica: I’m on it! Me: Oh! *sobbing*

I’m pregnant and it’s been really hard in the first trimester so Jessica telling me she’s proud of me genuinely made me cry 😭

Not me crying at the "so proud of you part" 😭

I'm from Brazil, and the word for mother here is Mãe, but I'm also from the northwest region of Brazil, and is very common to little kids to call their moms "mainha", because it is used as the diminutive of "mãe" in the region. So this is how I have called my mom my entire life, I think is quite cute, specially said with our accent

I was literally crying with laughter while you answered that last question 😂😂

i think it makes perfect sense that if there's a high rate of celiac, there would also be a greater awareness and amount of options for other dietary restrictions. mostly because celiac is so prone to cross-contamination. when i worked in a kitchen doing all of the dietary needs options, it was a lot easier and more intuitive to make options for multiple allergens when you already have a sterile environment that's designed to be completely reset

Not me getting teary eyed at jessies "i'm proud of you" monologue😢 that was so sweet❤

I had to stop at 6:20 to contain myself. Jessica, you don't know how much your sincere mom praise & love means to me today, 6 months to the day after my mom died. Thank you for making me feel so loved❤

Advice for living with someone who isn't a "tidy" person: Support their own systems and habits, try to work with them to build an environment that works for them, rather than make them fit conventional ideas of being tidy. If we take Jessica's example, she has a system/natural way of dealing with her items, but not an environment that supports that and the result is something that feels messy to Claudia. If the environment can be adjusted so that Jessica has one or more places to leave her worn-but-not-dirty clothes that is really easy and comfortable for her but also has them more neat, organised or put-away, then Claudia can feel relaxed in the environment too. As someone who is on the "messy" side I've gradually learned that trying to force myself into conventional ideas of neatness/organisation generally just makes me feel like a failure. As well as my natural inclinations, I also have issues with my health, including back issues, that mean I have a different set of needs and preferences. Things can't require any effort to put away, for instance - just pop them in their spot without having to move anything out of the way first, for instance. Or if the clothes are really tight in the wardrobe or drawers and require a lot of physical effort to put back neatly then I just won't - too hard, too fiddly, too much physical. Things have to be super easy and convenient or they end up sitting on a table or bench because that's easier to access. I also deal with things at my own pace - because of my health, and because I've always preferred to tidy things all in one go when the mood/energy level is right. As much as possible, it's helpful to reflect on my own habits and preferences and figure out on what circumstances I find it easy to be tidy and organised and what blocks I have or what makes it harder. Try to set things up to work with how I am naturally rather than try to force me in another direction. Everyone should remember that it's easy to think that your way is the right way because it works for you, especially if it's also what society likes to tell us is how people should be. But we're all different and we can learn to respect with each person's own flow. Allow yourselves the kindness to reflect and try over time to get things working better for both/all of you. 💜

@Jessica, i am with you 100% on the clothes needing an inbetween spot! 😂💪💃✌️ darlings 🤗💗

Jessie have you thought about getting a short clothing rack for the stasis clothes? That way they aren't on the floor/chair etc but they aren't messing up your clean clothes

18:02 I'm 100% with Jessica on this one! I also can't put once worn stuff back in the closet, 'cause they aren't 100% clean, so I store mine mostly in the bathroom in a different laundry basket than the dirty clothes! I never really knew some people put them back in the closet 'till I talked about it with a friend and she said she puts them back in! I've tried to put them back in the closet or drawer but it just feels so wrong! 🤭

Thanks to Jessica for further justifying the Laundry Chair™️

First of all, I cried at the proud mum bit, thank you for the validation! Secondly, the not quite clean clothes logic - classic adhd logic 😂 (from an adhder who had the same logic)

holyfuuuck the "im proud of you" segment... i didn't know i needed that but it brought tears to my eyes and goosbumps and made me feel appreciated af . thank you

great now you made me cry with the proud response

You know, I have a wonderful relationship with my Mom, and she’s told me she’s proud of me countless times, but your segment was so powerful and so touching, I still teared up. I can’t imagine what it meant to someone who does not have (and may never have had) someone to say that to them. Your kindness and compassion are part of what makes me always come back to this channel (that, and your relationship with your wife!).

I literally teared up listening to Jessica’s answer about how proud of the person she is. I tried very hard to take it to heart.

oh wow... sometimes you dont know how much you need to hear something till you hear it. watching on my lunch break and started crying at my desk. wow

Omg Jessica, you are going to make people cry with that "I'm proud of you speech."

I cannot stop crying after watching your direct motherly affirmation talk. Thank you for recording this segment, it's very soothing to hear.

so i haven't been doing well mentally and i'm sleep deprived as shit, and jessie's little mum speech caught me so off guard i immediately began sobbing😭😭

You two are absolutely amazing!! You are wonderful Mothers and role models!! 😊🙏❤️🇨🇦🏳️‍🌈

5:04 suddenly crying, wasn't prepared for that

I am absoluetly with Jessica on clothes being worn and not belonging to the closet until its washed. Untill then that clothes are gonna be either on my chair or end of my bed. And my mum really hates this habit or rule(?) of mine.

Not me crying about a person I don't know on the internet telling me they know I'm trying my hardest...

Dammit Jessica, now I'm crying, I didn't realise I needed that.

5:17 I needed that 😢 thank you😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you for your (Mum) pride in us, Jessica. It means the world. ❤🌎

I did not expect to sob during this video. Thanks for saying the words I needed to hear.

I just cried, but thank you I needed that

I love Jessica’s “I’m on it!” and then the cutting to her to say how proud she is! Brilliant! Couldn’t stop smiling! 😃😃 Also, I love how interested you both got in the “quick fire” ice cream question! So cute! 🍦🍦

Jessica, thank you so much. Although the request wasn't from me, the part where you were speaking from the point of view of a loving and supportive mom saying how proud you are of your child was beautiful. Thank you so much again.

As a fellow ADHDer (& autistic), I totally get Jessica's logic about once worn clothes. But, I also get the need to have a tidy space elsewhere in the house 🎉

Everyone's talking about the proud speech, meanwhile I'm howling at the IMMEDIATE "✋ I got this one babes"

Italy was amazing for food allergies. I was served my own pizza dairy free. It was delicious!

The part where Jessica said how proud she was made me actually tear up... thank you, I didn't know how much I needed it until then❤

I adore Claudia, her presence is always so positive and I love her little rants

Why did the "hello darling, it's mama" hit me so hard? I'm in tears 😭 I have a real life mum that tells me she's proud of me😂😂

I absolutely broke into tears when you said how proud you were “of me”.

6:20 I keep rewatching this. My mom told me how useless I was the other day and it was really hard. I think you both healed a bit of my heart.

The how proud of you moment from Jessica was just so beautiful, made me tear up and it was like a warm emotional hug

That “proud mum” segment absolutely needs to be made into a video of its own so that we can play it when needed. Pretty please make it into a video! 🙏🏻🥺

Mother in my language is just ma ma

5:04 ;_; i almost cry.... thanks mom...

Jessica with that proud mum speech 🥺😭 as someone who has gone non contact with their mother I really needed that ❤️❤️❤️

Your channel helped me to come out as aro ace

"Hello, Darling, it's Mama" Jessica, i am forever grateful that i found your youtube channel. I am a 34 yr old bisexual, hypermobile, late diagnosed adhd/autistic woman with medical trauma who doesnt get out much. I love you and I'm so proud of YOU for the effort and love you put into everything you do. *hugs*

I really needed that encouraging message today. Thank you so much! 😊

I'm in a flood of tears; thanks for telling us you're proud. It also means a lot coming from another late diagnosed ND person with other disabilites. We didn't hear this enough.

Don't know who requested the pep talk, but thank you. Made me cry. I needed that

I cried at the “I’m proud of you” part - really needed to hear that, thank you ❤

Jessica, your "proud of you" segment should be a short of it's own!

Jessica, your “I’m proud of you “ speech was beautiful! ❤ Thank you and Claudia for the laughs about the clothing rambles and about Rupert. 🤣 Both of you are amazing! 🙂

My kids say "MOOoOm!" when they are irritated with me. Normally just "mom," though.

Honestly -- I love all the different types of videos you do... but this one was just really fun -- seeing the two of you laughing together made me smile so much my face hurts a bit 😂 (I have long covid -- even my facial muscles ache and are tired, but this video was totally worth it)... and that proud mama moment Jessica -- it needs a warning! I didn't have tissue close by! 🥹 Thank you for taking the time to make this one... ❤

The "I'm proud of you" talk made me emotional but then the clothes debate at the end has me cracking up lmao 😂 Thank you for the emotional rollercoaster lol

Omg the validation and Jessicas speech made me cry.

A video of “POV: I’m your mom telling you how proud I am of you and how loved you are” I think would do so well and touch the hearts of so many people

Genuinely teared up during the "I'm proud of you" clip/speech. Thank you, Jessica 🥺❤️

I love the intro tangents! Never change.

I have a really support mum who is always telling me how proud of me she is and everything, but weirdly enough, hearing Jessica tell me how proud of me she is was so comforting and soothing, especially since today is the 8 year anniversary of my dad’s passing.

Jessica, you made me cry when you told me how proud you are of me. Thank you!

Didn’t think i was gonna cry today but here I am ugly crying at mama Jessie telling me she’s proud of me

I got one sentance into Jessica saying she's proud and I'm sobbing

Oh my good, I'm crying ❤ your words were really beautiful

You are peerless, you are beautiful, you are progressive. Keep it up. Hello from homophobic Russia.

She should have a separate wardrobe or section of the closet where only previously worn garments go to. Then they won't be "mixed in" with the others. ❤

Omg I didn’t know I needed it but you made me tear up with that very nice validation speech, I think I need to sleep

I really need that talk mom 🫶🏽

Was not expecting to tear up but thank you

Not me sitting alone in my bedroom bursting into tears as you said you’re proud of us 😅 that was beautiful

Honestly, I feel like a lot of us (including me) needed the words of encouragement in these times, so thank you so much

Can we please petition for a reel/short of Jessica’s proud mumma speech? We all need to be able to watch that bit on demand

😭 joining crying club, thanks for the kind words Jessica ❤

4:58 omg .... I felt that in my heart ❤ thank you, I needed that

Okay, I've been a fan for a while, but I never expected to feel such validation and boost in esteem from a segment from Jessica as I'm a 50yr old man!!!!!

Sidebar Jessie is making me tear up 🥹🥹🥹

Made me cry with that second (third?) question

I’m 100% with Jessica re the briefly-worn clothes thing, found that very relatable 😆

I'm not talking with my mother for years and hearing this literally heal something in me ❤

I teared up listening to you being proud of me, didn't know I needed it, thank you so much!

I'm old enough to be grandmother, but that 'Im so proud of you clip's hit me hard. I immediately started crying. That might be a clip a lot of people need to have saved and be able to listen to over and over again. And btw, not only are your lesbian mom's proud of you, but since I'm a mom and aunt at a grandparent age, I'll add that this mom/ aunt/ grandmother/ friend/ sister/cousin etc is proud of you too.
