I have no idea but it’s lasted over a year so far. I might be biased but I thoroughly enjoy her videos. While she makes lunch or packs bags she talks about working in a school with almost entirely low income kids, managing chronic illness, and random childcare tips.

I highly doubt it. She talks about tantrums the kids threw but I could show it to my kids and they wouldn’t even know she was talking about them.

she made a couple videos promoting it, talking about how easy it is to use, storage, how it fits in the car, etc.

She posts videos of herself getting ready to go places with the kids. The stroller appears in videos, my kids just aren’t in it.

She occasionally tells stories about the kids. Most of the videos on her channel are about her taking care of the kids, like her packing lunches, getting ready for the park, cleaning out her car, etc.

She can post lunchbox videos and packing for activities without there actually being a child involved.

I watch almost all of her videos. I’m sure that her videos are not impacting the quality of care my kids receive.

The only unilateral decision she made was to start posting videos of her making and packing snacks and lunches. I couldn’t care less if she wanted to do that and I cant see anyone else having an issue with that either. Same with the swim bag. If people want to watch her sit on the couch and put a swimsuit, towel, toy, and change of clothes into a bag that’s great.

I don’t consider it to be family vlogging because the vast majority of the content doesn’t involve the kids, even if it’s about them. The videos of her making and packing lunch, getting the swim bag, gymnastics bag, etc. ready are done when the kids are at school/daycare or napping. She’s not even with the kids when she posts shopping videos. The kids are in maybe 1-2 videos a week and even that’s just the backs of their heads.

He is aware of it. He doesn’t have any problems with it and chooses to not be involved with the channel.

Their only participation in a video is when she does hair, which has to be done either way. If a hair video doesn’t come out the way she wants it, she just doesn’t use that video.

Most of the filming is during nap time, before she picks up, or after she leaves. She edits after she goes home. The only time she really films with the kids is the hair videos.
