It is so nice hearing how aware Aspyn is of the Utah culture affecting girls, and I can tell she really wants to keep her daughters safe from that. I know Parker likely feels defensive of his own experience and that is why he is having a hard time admitting that his experience as a boy growing up in Utah is likely very different from the lives of most girls growing up in Utah. But it's just not the same experience, and Aspyn is right about that. It can be a harming environment even if you are not part of the specific community that is the big force in creating that culture because it is so prevalent and cannot be escaped there. I wish that guys were more willing to ask and learn about these differences rather than so quickly dismissing them if they did not experience it themselves.

I love Aspyn so much. She literally is not scared to speak what she feels and how she thinks. It's really refreshing. I feel like Cove and Lola are being raised so well.

As a girl who lives and grew up in Utah, I really appreciate Asypn “calling out” Parker on his lack of being affected by Utah culture. Utah culture/Mormon culture is all framed around men. To them, it’s probably pretty great, because as women, we are much more likely to be passive and accommodating to them.

I would like to see Parker filming the house tour in his way. I like the more real, raw style vlogs but that’s exactly what it is.. real life and if Parker wants to show something or put in the extra work he should be able to! I think everyone would appreciate the effort. If someone is passionate about something people feed off of that. Just like Oscar and how he films, he’s extra. People feed off that.

Parker I support you in filming a super boujee artsy house tour, you genuinely seemed so excited about doing it!!

[ashleewalker]

I think it’s a good idea for Parker to do the creative content for the house tour! You can tell he’s really passionate about it. Not saying that you will have to always do it for future Vlogs, I hear you Aspyn! Probably too much work but if Parker wants to do it once in a while…why not!? Thanks for sharing guys!

[kaylarussell]

Thank you Aspyn for standing so firm about the unfair treatment that girls receive under the umbrella of religion. It is so important that we can empower the new generations of women to be strong and confident about themselves!!♥️🙌🏻

As a girl that grew up in that “culture” and did not really have it effect me, I STILL disagree with Parker. Even though you have your own standards of what your life is like being surrounded by the culture and judged for not behaving like them is very annoying and sometimes gets you left out of friend groups, or peoples parents just don’t want you hanging around their kids cuz you don’t share the same beliefs! It’s insane. So even though I stuck to what I believed in it definitely still sucked being in it as a girl cuz men simply aren’t held to the same standard.

I admire Parker so much, in my culture we were raised to have a mom do everything and a das bring the money and food home and it's so admiring to see Parker so involved in the girls schedules and lives.

Parker is a really great husband and father. He should be very proud. And Aspyn and him have a good partnership and balance it seems, which is so important. You both should be proud of the parents you are and partners you are to each other!

[paigedunkel]

Aspyn is in her villain feminist era and I’m here for it!!

[Ccccccmmag]

You guys are so refreshing! Love the discussion of dads being involved. Your channel always shows such a good example of being a parenting team! Also, It sucks being in a funk and I hope it passes soon cause you guys are such a joy to watch and hear from!

[astrocutie]

In terms of the video concept for the new house tour, I think Aspyn is right when it comes to youtube - casual vlogs perform better, BUT I agree with Parker, nicely filmed/highly produced short form content (tik toks) of a house is much more popular and would perform way better! So you defs should do both, because both styles will perform well on their respected social sites (youtube vs tik tok)

[shysop]

Loved to see you stand up for the point you were making, Aspyn! So true about women being affected more by misogynistic/sexist culture

[lyla]

Growing up in Utah as a woman is different. It varies in severity FOR SURE but it truly is different for women in Utah. Modesty, career expectations, raising kids. It’s a lot placed on your shoulders at an early age for sure

[Lwhiteside]

100% would LOVE to see both versions of the house tour 🥰 I definitely see both sides of this. It makes sense to not fix what’s not broken AND I wonder if also incorporating some of those more complicated videos would attract another type of audience and lead to more growth. Either way, I am just interested in both because I think it would be cool lol

[juliadawndesigns]

As an ex-mormon living in Utah, I SO appreciate you being willing to share what it's like for so many of us in this culture. People who think that all is well in "zion" have just not personally experienced the unhealthy aspects of it like so many of us have. If you fit into all the cultural norms and expectations (cisgendered, heterosexual, able-bodied person that believes in and supports the patriarchy) then you might not have been harmed by it. Parker seems like a great guy and I appreciate his willingness to listen to what Aspyn was sharing. We still have a LONG way to go in this culture with trying to understand the experiences of others outside of the cultural norms, but I do appreciate this conversation. Love listens and Parker seems to be trying. :)

I’m a SAHM and my husband works 15 hour days working a blue collar job. And he still shows up for his family and cooks cleans puts the kids to bed and makes sure I’m all good as well. I agree with Aspyn don’t settle for less! Know that having babies takes two people to love and care for them not just the mom.

[MsDancechic]

I live in Utah and am not religious and I have to agree with Aspyn, the culture totally affects you like Aspyn said

[madisoncrosson]

I would love to see Parker film that video of the house in the way he envisioned it! It seems like he is really excited and passionate about it, and it might be a good way for him to branch out for a little bit, and a fun little creative break in the normal vlogs ❤
