01:12 Fast.
01:13 Of what?
01:14 The chicken.
01:15 Okay.

01:21 Daddy.
01:22 Who spoils you the most?
01:23 Who does everything.
01:25 Oh.
01:26 Who gets me so much toys?
01:29 And Mama gets me all my toys that I want.
01:32 Apparently we buy too many toys.
01:34 And we got a whole junk of toys in our toy room.
01:38 Toys now.
01:39 Junk.
01:40 It's called junk.
01:41 [Music]
01:45 Who talks the most?
01:47 Come on.
01:48 Is it Mama Jet?
01:49 Or is it actually Mama?
01:51 Mama.
01:52 That's Daddy though.
01:53 Oh.
01:55 Mama.
01:57 Mama's that car?
01:58 [Ding]
01:59 Mama.
02:00 That looks right.
02:02 Mama talks the most.
02:04 [Music]
02:08 Who dances the most?
02:10 Who's a good dancer?
02:13 Wow.
02:15 [Laughter]
02:17 Oh no, thank you.
02:18 [Laughter]
02:21 Now there's a good dancer.
02:23 Oh, dance.
02:24 This too.
02:25 [Music]
02:29 Oh, that's not good.
02:30 This one.
02:31 What?
02:32 That's not good.
02:33 That's not fair.
02:34 That's not fair.
02:35 No, no.
02:37 He cleans all the pots.
02:39 All the pots of the house.
02:41 Wow.
02:42 Mama cleans the walls and Daddy cleans every pot.
02:45 Walls.
02:46 Yes, walls.
02:47 No, I both clean.
02:48 I both clean.
02:49 [Music]
02:53 I don't know.
02:54 Who are you scared of?
02:55 I'm greedy.
02:56 [Laughter]
02:57 Daddy.
02:58 What about Mama?
02:59 [Laughter]
03:00 No, you sometimes you be nice.
03:03 Oh, sometimes I'm nice.
03:05 [Music]
03:10 What?
03:11 What?
03:12 Nemo.
03:13 On the computer at night.
03:15 Yeah, the question is on computer.
03:16 You don't even see that you're asleep.
03:18 Mama spends time on her phone.
03:20 Why?
03:21 Because, I know.
03:22 Because.
03:23 Because when I wake up in the middle of the night, you're on the computer.
03:26 When I see you on your phone, I look.
03:31 Jet nose banding ghost.
03:32 [Laughter]
03:33 [Music]
03:38 I don't know.
03:39 It's...
03:40 It's a dude.
03:41 [Laughter]
03:42 It's a dude.
03:43 [Music]
03:48 Yay.
03:49 Mama.
03:50 What does Daddy use all the time?
03:52 The other one.
03:53 [Laughter]
03:54 And...
03:55 I don't like his shirt and pants.
03:57 And those shoes.
03:59 [Laughter]
04:01 I didn't choose these shoes.
04:02 They are old shoes.
04:04 They're old.
04:05 Old.
04:06 Yes, they're very old.
04:08 Yeah.
04:09 [Music]
04:13 He eats a lot because he has a big belly.
04:17 There's nothing there.
04:19 He eats always hamburgers.
04:21 [Laughter]
04:23 Hamburgers all the time.
04:25 And what does Dwight eat at home?
04:27 He eats this much.
04:28 Very little.
04:29 But how about Daddy?
04:31 How much does he eat?
04:33 Eee-ya.
04:34 [Laughter]
04:35 Eee-ya.
04:36 [Music]
04:41 Nobody.
04:42 Wow.
04:43 Wow.
04:44 Wow.
04:45 Wow.
04:46 So do you always play on your own?
04:48 You have to pick which one out of Mama or Daddy is the one that plays the most.
04:53 Do you play with me?
04:54 Do you play with me?
04:55 Do I?
04:56 No, tell me.
04:57 You have to pick.
04:58 That one.
04:59 Yeah, you.
05:00 I do.
05:01 Who?
05:02 Pick one.
05:03 Two.
05:04 Two, two, two, two, two.
05:05 [Music]
05:10 Yeah.
05:11 [Laughter]
05:13 That's because she has told them that.
05:15 I don't actually smell.
05:16 No.
05:17 No.
05:18 Sushi TV.
05:19 I don't see.
05:20 Everything is Sushi TV.
05:21 I always wake him up and say Joshua.
05:23 Wake up.
05:24 You're snoring so much.
05:25 [Music]
05:29 So, I didn't realize that Nima and Jet noticed that I do a lot of the cleaning in the house.
05:37 But I do.
05:38 Children don't lie.
05:40 [Laughter]
05:42 The funniest was me.
05:43 Wasn't it you?
05:44 Yeah, I'm always the funny one.
05:45 I'm always the well.
05:46 I'm always the funny one.
05:47 He's always serious.
05:48 Like at home, he is like the disciplinarian and I am the one who…
05:52 [Laughter]
05:55 And then I'm like the…
05:56 Like I am the, you know, the one who like comforts the kids.
06:00 Honestly, like in my, like you know, Josh always plays with them.
06:04 I take them for a bike ride every day with the appreciation.
06:08 And always, like he would always…
06:09 Go to the park.
06:10 Take them for swimming.
06:11 I'm always like at home doing a lot of work.
06:13 Josh even does the picking up and dropping off at school.
06:16 He always does.
06:18 He irons the clothes, the uniform of the kids.
06:21 I do.
06:22 Like it's all equally divided but…
06:24 Yeah, yeah.
06:25 That's what I was saying.
06:26 We are like…
06:27 But in my videos, in our videos, like on social media, it's always like, you know, it's like the stereotype.
06:32 Parenting is a team effort and we both work together to get through the day.
06:36 That's right.
06:37 [Music]
06:42 Well, luckily, I'm a shift worker and I work casually.
06:46 So, I just slot my shifts in whenever we're available.
06:50 The time is available for me to work whenever Geraldine's available or if we've got some grandparents over to look after the kids.
06:57 So, then I slot my shifts in so I can work that in that way.
07:01 And then Geraldine works from home so she can look after the kids while she's working.
07:05 Again, it's a team effort so we work together to get everything done and make sure that our kids have a happy, healthy home.
07:13 [Music]
07:17 Making sure that they are grateful for the things that they get given.
07:21 They're not self-centered.
07:23 Trying to educate them on being humble and generous to everyone around them.
07:30 That's right.
07:31 Because if you get all caught up in how famous they are and everyone keeps giving them stuff,
07:36 then they start to think that they deserve that or that that's their right to have that.
07:43 It's difficult to try and teach a three-year-old and a six-year-old to be generous and to give away this.
07:50 Like, they've got too much stuff.
07:52 It's very difficult to teach them that if they don't need something, it's okay to give it away and you don't have to have everything all at once.
08:00 Teach them how to join the generosity and the giveaway, like giving away of your stuff to people who need it more than you.
08:09 And sometimes you get all of these opportunities to go to other countries and travel.
08:15 They get to spend a lot of their holidays overseas and not all the kids can experience that.
08:22 And then whenever they're at school, they do reporting and then they would tell all of the classmates and teachers,
08:28 "I went there, I went here."
08:30 And still in a work in progress, like how to make them humble.
08:36 I think Jet, I don't think she realizes that she's very famous.
08:41 For example, we go to the shops in Australia, right?
08:43 And then Jet would always be like, "Oh, she's our follower."
08:46 Like, "Mama, you know this lady just said, like, you know, just waving and smiling at me."
08:50 And then so Jet would think that she's a follower, but she doesn't realize, like, you know, all the taking photos and everything.
08:57 Jet would think that it's my friend.
08:59 And like, she doesn't know, like, even at school, like, she doesn't know.
09:03 Like, she's very famous with high school kids and like, you know, like bigger kids.
09:07 Like, she doesn't realize.
09:08 She only knows our followers, but she doesn't know what the deeper meaning of that.
09:13 And for Nemo, now that he's six years old, I think he realizes now.
09:17 Like, you know, he would come home and be like, "Mama, did you know that this teacher knows us?
09:20 Like, you know, he knows me. So I'm like, you know, from all the videos."
09:23 And then also, every time we make a video and then some teachers have already, like, watched it or some kids, like, they would say,
09:32 "Oh, Nemo, I saw you in this video. Like, is it true?"
09:35 Nah, that's crazy.
09:36 They know that people know them that they don't know.
09:39 I don't think they have an understanding of the fact that it's like they're famous and other people don't actually get that.
09:51 Supporting your kids, make sure that you're like meeting all their needs and giving them enrichment opportunities in life to be able to experience as much as they can.
10:01 Learning music, playing sports, learning, like, supporting their education.
10:08 Now, I would like know what to do with my kids right now.
10:12 Like, I would want something different for my kids.
10:16 And I think like going with the flow.
10:18 Parenting is always a work in progress.
10:20 That's true.
10:21 I'm always learning how to improve my parenting style as they grow.
10:26 It's important to show a united front to the kids as a parent and then discuss or make sure that each of you is aware of what you're, where you want, where you're going or what your idea of parenting is.
10:41 Communication between parents is key.
