This is amazing.
I’m 23 and up until a few years ago lived a very sheltered life. My mother
often lived in fear of me encountering the same pain she had so she kept me
close. I’m learning now that my parents are people as I watch them become
so pained at watching my struggle with my anxiety. They have been my pillar
of strength through it all, but every anxiety attack I watch them see me
suffer through humanizes them for me in a way I have never seen. I am
grateful for their presence as I could not made it through with out them,
they are my rock, that are my people.
I love everything about this series, right down to how the title has taken
a popular, admittedly quite immature phrase and completely turned it on its
head
500 videos congratulations!
As hard as it is to say, its so relieving to know that everyone has their
own sad story. I’ve lived without a mother daughter relationship. That
affected how I’ve tried grow up and how I go about things. I haven’t been
able to tell anyone how much it pains me until recently. But once I was
able to accept it, I feel I can finally continue to grow.
Well then this video ended up making me depressed. That damn question at
the end.
This last part war really moving. It took me by surprise
Great episode. Amazing job again Natalie!
“Final topic” really? noooo, make them do more :D
Love this series.
=’;’=
I always think that my parents were perfect, because they have more
experience about lifetime than me obviously, anyway I’m glat I have realize
that they make mistakes too because I love the way I am.
Love love this series. Keep it up!
There are a few moments I really remember realizing my parents were people.
The first was when I was in high school, sitting in the backseat of my
dad’s car while he was driving. He has this habit of putting his hand on
the back of the passenger seat, and I saw his hand right in front of me.
His thick fingers were looking wrinkled, dry, and tired. I realized my dad
wasn’t invincible. A few years later, when I asked for money to help carry
me through another semester of school, Dad nearly cried at the table,
saying that there was only so much I could have because our funds were
running out. This was in 2012, five years after he lost his job and three
years after getting his new one. I’ve never seen my dad so scared
or–ashamed? That was a changing moment.
My mom has Lupus, and I first realized she was human when she told me not
too long ago that those with Lupus don’t often live past 60. She’s
56–almost 57–and dreaming of 60. She’s talked a lot lately about
arrangements after she dies, and that has been difficult yet strangely
charming. My mom is human.
I think I realised my parents were people with their follies and
insecurities when i was probably 12 or 13. Some incidents made me realise
how difficult it may have been for my parents to take some tough decisions.
Especially when those decisions involved making personal sacrifices to see
a child happier. Loved this video!
Right after watching this…
ugh! Natalie, she gets me every time!
This created so much dissonance in my brain….
Please please please do more of these! They really do represent women and
diminish all these inferior stereotypes
Macklemore is awesome and has a ton of positive messages in his songs
I’ve always known my parents were normal people because my mother and I
have the greatest relationship ever and we speak about absolutely
everything always. If there was something I wanted to know I just had to
ask and the other way round too and now I’m 19, I’ve passed my teenage
years with my mum and I can say there hasn’t been a day were the love for
my parents didnt phisically hurt in my chest in the best of the ways bcause
thats how much I love them. They are the best average people in the whole
entire world.
wow .. Toward the end you read my mind! Thank you .. .
I love this series so much! Please continue it and maybe even a male
version?
oh nooo please continue this series, it is always inspiring!
This really can’t be the final topic!!!:(..please do more of this
videos!!..they are really good and helpful!!!:)..Natalie you are AWESOME..
This is a truly remarkable and beautiful series; I hope it’s around to
stay. ❤️
With regards to the question: I learned that my father was flawed when I
was an adolescent, when he and my mother told me that they were getting
divorced (It’s worth noting that they were already separated; my sisters
and I moved with my mother to Toronto several years prior, and my father
continued to work back in Northern Ontario). My father proceeded to explain
that he had cheated on my mother numerous times after we had moved. As the
years went on, I continued to learn about my father, and how deep and dark
his well of secrets truly was. It eventually didn’t matter to me whether or
not I had his approval, for I have been raised by other incredible men like
my grandfather and uncles.
My mother on the other hand…she was always the image of a Celtic goddess
to me. I learned she was in fact a person much later: I was 20 when the
epiphany came, in her case. I learned about the reason why she brought us
to Toronto, and that despite her strength she was extremely afraid. Before
that, she had also been terrified when she married my father; earlier still
was she fearful when she learned she was pregnant with my eldest sister.
And even before then…I learned (And this I learned after being raped by
my abusive ex boyfriend) that she too had been sexually assaulted – but,
unlike me, she was then left for dead. So, indeed, I now know that she
isn’t a goddess of strength. Rather, she is a heroine of the strongest
design: for what she has had to endure, to fight, to create and change, to
heal…if I develop to be even a small fraction of the person she is – of
all that she is (If I can bring myself to be so ambitious) – I will
consider myself blessed, and proud.
0:08 sounds like Ellen
why would the middle picture at the end be private??
I got Birth control ad before this vid. Lol.
That black kid is badass, the side-hat.
Children need parents thats why parenting is possible. it really depends on
the child
They also get your phone when your not looking for just ONE MINUTE out of
your life, then, throw it in the toilet
Press 9 that is where i died laughing
Occasionally they will try to eat you. Seriously, I know.
*Trying not to laugh* “Sweetie, are you ok?”
Those were toddlers
1:56 I laugh so hard on this, i’m embrassed of myself
We are, or were all kids once you know…

I am a kid and i am pretty much the opposite of this video. Although, I am
a few years older than all of the kids in the videos.
Thank god for being infertile AND not wanting kids.

The bubble kids and the headphone baby were the best.
