    @ninelives19916 years ago I don't know why anyone could troll you. You are SO SWEET. ♥️ Definitely just think they are jealous because you are the whole package. 🎁 65

    @kathy1234776 years ago You're not older, you look like you're in your 20s,glowing and shining. I'm so glad I found your channel a year ago when I was pregnant because you are my no.1 inspiration and motivation to be a better mom to my son :) ... 54

    @yafefia846 years ago I loved how you said: “their advice is coming from a good place, and just ignore it!” I’m definitely taking this note! 44
  • @
    @tipyukw6 years ago I love the "What I feed my kids in a day" videos! I think I've watched and rewatched them all so many times now, especially the baby led weaning ones. I don't know why it just seems like rocket science at times trying to figure out what to feed your kids 🤦 I swear I had peanut butter and jam sandwich everyday for lunch growing up and I was fine but now it's Pinterest mom's with pinwheels and toddler lasagna or what not that it can just feel overwhelming sometimes. I found your videos so refreshing because they're healthy and realistic. I'm a mom of three as well and feel like I can manage a bit better. Thank goodness for YouTube! Feels like I'm in this with so many other moms :) ... 30
  • @
    @CAsaidit6 years ago I never minded your ads. I love your videos and if you putting in ads means you can continue making videos I'll gladly watch them. I also trust your opinion and know you wouldn't promote anything you wouldn't use yourself. ... 38

    @semsem1856 years ago I love that duck description. One of my students wrote an essay for another teacher saying the person they want to emulate would be Miss Seema because she is so calm, happy, poised and never gets angry or upset with them. I was so flattered but I always feel like I'm calm on the outside, all my craziness happens on the inside. ... 12

    @jennyt76126 years ago Thanks for another great video Emily. I cannot see why anyone would criticise anything you post - you are the loveliest mum & I enjoy all your videos. I was able to use a lot of your baby care ideas when I mind my grandchildren - especially the baby led weaning & using baby wipes for floor & high chair cleanup! Have been following you for a while now & you are still my favourite on YouTube. Have a lovely Christmas with your sweet family & I hope Jackson is better soon ...

Great video (obviously) I have a suggestion: you could maybe show us what you use to wash the boy's maybe a suggestion to us and for children to what good shampoos you use. You could do a video just like this and go through what shampoos you would recommend xxx ... 6

    @ButacuPpucatuB6 years ago Thank you so much for your stellar example. I have been wrestling with the idea of creating my own channel. I really would like to create and start but, the thought of the backlash was a daunting thought. I appreciate that you have shared that you, at times, will change to another idea just to avoid some comments. I have done that myself in a lesson I would want to teach. In that same breath, don’t stop being yourself. This manipulation to put pressure on another in order to have them perform in another way - that’s inhumaine and not acceptable!!! I would add, that this is the level of some people’s existence. I love you and support you, and wish you and your family a Happy Christmas🎄❤️ ...

  • @
    @16397AMWKAT6 years ago Lovely video Emily! Put my boys to bed and sat down with a big cuppa as soon as I saw q&a. I think you should do those videos you love, pay no mind to the trolls! At the end of the day we all have our own ways of doing things, we shouldn't judge anyone else, just measure our success by who we were yesterday.
    A message to all the mamas watching, we should spread kindness and love. Everyone is facing a battle nobody can see. They might have just received a tough diagnosis, have an unwell child, be financially challenged, suffering with mental health, going through a relationship breakdown - the internet has made people so judgemental and frankly mean. It does not improve our lives so lets follow a simple rule: be kind and treat others how you wish to be treated.
    Thank you for another great video, also please do a weight loss video, just had my 2nd and cant seem to lose weight while breastfeeding :(

    @ebonycameron4656 years ago Hope you’re feeling better baby Jax 💔 I know how hard it is to run a successful home business, my wedding video business hit its peak right before I had my first baby. I filmed a 17 hr day at 8 months pregnant and by the time my daughter was 6 months I had edited 9 full weddings. Each edit was up to 40 hours each. I would work until the sun came up and I pretty much haven’t recovered from the guilt and anxiety that I suffered from. I gave it up the second I found out I was pregnant again, but watching you makes me think soon it could be possible to start again so I am enrolling in a celebrant course that starts in the new year. Thank you for sharing, warts and all, you give hope and comfort to many of us xx ...

Your mind set is so similar to mine (good old Pisces hah). 😁 Thanks for sharing! Hope you and the family have a lovely Christmas! ...
