My kids say my YouTube channel is ✩✩★★★ cringe

Today, I'm going to ask my kids to rate my videos on cringe-level.

We'll be using this 5-star rating scale.

✩✩✩✩★ 1 Star = Not even cringey - Why was this even on the list?

✩✩✩★★ 2 Stars = Not that bad - like any other random YouTube video out there

✩✩★★★ 3 Stars = Little Cringey - Could have been worse, Could have been better

✩★★★★ 4 Stars = Pump the Brakes, it's getting Cringey In Here! - Hey hey, slow down now, you're starting to cringe me out!

★★★★★ 5 Stars= The Ultimate Level of Cringe - um, what was mom thinking?

Cooking with Vanessa

My kids' rating: ✩✩★★ 2 Stars = Not that bad - like any other random YouTube video out there

My thoughts: I love to cook but I am lazy. We eat out more than I would like to admit. We are all picky in our own ways. So, making dinner can sometimes be a frustrating task. This is one of my earlier videos, where I was still learning my way around YouTube, videography, and whatever else you want to add in LOL. I don't even know what the point of this video was...it wasn't instructional, and it skips around.

Box Color - Gone Right? or Gone Wrong?

My kids' rating: ✩★★★ 3 Stars = Little Cringey - Could have been worse, Could have been better

My thoughts: I told my daughter this was NOT going to work. She was cracking up that I kept adding the leftover dye into my hair. The funniest part of the whole video was when I put my foot in the tub...and you all can't even see it. Although, it may have been a "had to be there" moment. Something that drives me crazy --> screw on/off caps on shower products. WHY?! Just why?! My hands are wet, I'm squeezing product into my hand, now what do I do? Sit the bottle down and then use the product? Hope that it doesn't fall over and spill out in the tub? Pop tops, people! POP TOPS.

Mother Daughter NYC Day 3

My kids' rating: ✩✩★★ 2 Stars = Not that bad - like any other random YouTube video out there

My thoughts: Anyone else have kids that constantly do TikTok dances? I will say, mine have FINALLY slowed down doing them. It used to be so bad, that you couldn't have a conversation with them without constant dancing. Moving on, this was my favorite day in NYC. I had always wanted to take a photograph in the middle of Times Square and a busy intersection and I finally did it. We did a lot of exploring on this day. We went to a street festival with a lot of performers, saw the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, visited Trinity Church where Alexander Hamilton's is buried, saw the 9/11 Memorial, shopped at a lot of stores (Capezio is featured), and attended our first comedy show at the Upright Citizens Brigade where they did an improv show called "Shamilton".

The Office: Shrute Farms Sweatshirt

My kids' rating: ✩✩✩★ 1 Star = Not even cringey - Why was this even on the list?

My thoughts: Similar to my first video that I posted...I don't understand the point of this video. I literally only showed 2 things I did during the entire day I was awake. TWO. WHAT?! This doesn't make any sense. I think I was just SO excited to be binge watching The Office, I felt the need to incorporate it into a video somehow. Terrible.

Driving with Vanessa

My kids' rating: ✩★★★★ 4 Stars = Pump the Brakes, it's getting Cringey In Here! - Hey hey, slow down now, you're starting to cringe me out!

My thoughts: Someone call my PCP, I think I need ADD or ADHD meds. Listen, I remember this day and it was ALL over the place. (kind of like my brain!) However, it's a fairly accurate description of what a day in the life with me is like.

• Talk out loud to other drivers that can't hear me? ✔️
• Sing in random places? ✔️
• Have a day start out great and out of nowhere everything hits the fan? ✔️
• Makeup casualties? ✔️
• Have dumb/genius ideas and feel the need to say them out loud? ✔️

THE LIST GOES ON.

Dash Mini Waffle Maker - First Time Using It!

My kids' rating: ✩✩★★ 2 Stars = Not that bad - like any other random YouTube video out there

My thoughts: The cringiest part of the whole video (to me) is at 0:33. No one cares about your brown batter! (That's what I want to say to myself). It's like... hey, let's pause. I need to be serious for a moment and let you know about my brown batter. (insert shaking head). Carry on! Story of my life and failing in some fashion while cooking. I am not the best recipe follower but there were ZERO instructions regarding how long to cook the waffle. All in all it is a pretty cool little gadget.

...and that's a wrap! While I have other YouTube videos, I asked them to rate these. I guess a little cringe isn't so bad, eh?

In the video "Mother Daughter NYC day 3":

Go back to 2:30-2:33 in the video. I was so excited and shocked that I saw the sun beaming through in the shape of a heart surrounded by clouds AND I caught it on video just before the clouds moved. It was truly magical and amazing. To understand the depth of my feelings, you'll need to read:
