Something a little different on today's vlog - I've been getting a lot of similar questions on my recent livestreams, so I thought I'd answer them all in one video so in future I can send people here rather than answering the same questions over and over again. The questions answered are:
2:01 - Why do I stream on YouNow instead of KZfaq?
6:22 - Where is Andy?
7:09 - Will Andy do GCSEs?
8:03 - How many Funko Pop’s do I have?
8:48 - Am I a full-time KZfaqr?
9:45 - Can I have a shout out?
10:46 - What did I used to teach?
11:19 - Do you have any tips for school/uni/exams?
13:06 - Where is Andy’s real dad?
14:32 - What will Andy do after he leaves school?

ABOUT KEVIN CHAPMAN
Hi, I'm Kevin Chapman, a full-time KZfaqr, author, podcaster, speaker and occasional teacher from Peterborough, UK. As part of my daily vlog I release new videos every day at 5pm UK time with topics including life as an autism family, conventions and geek culture, technology, education and tutorials and entrepreneurship.
When I left my full-time as a Computer Science teacher in July 2017, my partner, Anna, was trapped in our house by our son Andy, who is autistic and had refused to go to school for 18 months. Our daughters Lucy and Amy and our dog Dave hardly saw me because I was always working to try and solve all our problems! Today I'm a full-time content creator who's always at home when my kids get home from school (all our kids!) and Anna has been able to return to university. This channel is the story of my family's ongoing journey as family vloggers! Previously known as lollujo Vlogs.

We're is Andy's real dad??? Andy's dad is sat right there speaking to the camera. He might not be his biological dad.. but he has stepped up and looked after Andy. Kev is probably the best dad Andy could ask for!! Sorry I'm bad at wording.

@MrWillyMrBrightside 5 жыл бұрын

One thing I've noticed with 'family vloggers' is one part of the audience tend to have more (small-c) conservative views on families ("family values"), and they place a heavy emphasis on the nuclear family, on marriage, and 'traditional values', so these people get very confused why you choose to live your family life in a way that doesn't match their views on what is right. But of course, no-one really has the right to say you're doing anything wrong when you're obviously not.

Family runs deeper than just dna and blood. You choose to stay and help with him and to love him as your own. That bond it’s self is more amazing than words can say. I have a step dad and to be honest he’s amazing and to me he is my dad. Just like you are his

@sarahhaverson176 5 жыл бұрын

Good idea. I had stopped watching the younow streams recently, because the same questions keep coming up. I thought it was kind of inevitable really as new people come on, they are bound to ask the same sort of questions. I did always try and drop in though if I saw you were live and at least gave you a free spin, doesn't cost me anything! Hope this works.

It must be hard as you have a very stressful life as at the end of the day I guess Andy is quite hard to read sometimes.

@june29able 5 жыл бұрын

I do so applaud you any man can be donors and walk away no troubles it seems,, but it takes a strong loving man to raise a child that is not of his own blood but of his heart, you are an amazing dad to Andy that is so easy to see in the videos even with him having autism you stand by Anna. So I stand up out of my seat and I say thank god for men like you and I hope other men see this and can see they can stand up and be a wonderful dad not by blood but by a fathers heart.....I love YOUR family you all are so full of love

I loved what you said about you being Andy's dad. There is no question that you are defiantly his dad. I have friends going through the same thing. They got together after she had her son and as far as her kid knows, his stepdad is his dad. He calls his biological father his "other dad". It pisses me off so much because the guy hasn't been in his son's life since he was born. Now that his son is 7, he wants to play dad now. Not to mention he had another child with a woman after two weeks together and decided to move to the other side of the country. He cant be a dad to one kid and just abandon the other. I'm so sorry for my rant but I just wanted to say that you're a great dad and there needs to be more people like you. :)

the answer about andys dad is so true this happened to me and my sister are "dad" left when we were very young and has apparently done this to other women because i have atleast one other brother ive never met before. i know have a step dad who is my dad no matter what people say and because of him i have 2 amazing younger sisters and if my sperm donor was to try and get back into my life i wouldnt have any of it!
