00:00School was really a waste of time, so we decided to pull our kids out and help
00:03educate them. Through social media I make about six figures a year. I can record my
00:08life and get paid. That's what I want to do. There's definitely comments that, you
00:12know, mommy's money, daddy's money. This woman is teaching her daughters a
00:17world view that is shallow and hopeless. This is borderline child abuse. What
00:22were you doing? Jenny, why did you decide to pull kids out of school?
00:28Hi, welcome to our house. I'm Jenny and this is my daughter Calistebel. So I have
00:34four children. I have Chloe who's 27, Colette who's 24, Calistebel who's 21, and my
00:41son Christian who is 17. Colette is also married so now we have a son-in-law Eli.
00:46My husband Mitch and I have been married for 29 years. Our property goes way back
00:54there. We have a shooting range for Christian's hockey and so we spend a lot
00:59of our time in the backyard. Our game room, we have some basketball, pool,
01:05foosball, and darts. This is our movie theater. We built the stage for the girls
01:10to perform because they all love to perform. I decided when the children are
01:17younger to kind of not go the traditional route of the public school system. Mitch
01:22and I are both very entrepreneur mindset. My husband and I taught our kids how to be successful.
01:29What do the kids do to make money? My children, they kind of all entrepreneur themselves.
01:35Calistebel, she is just 100% social media influencer. This is my favorite room which is my bedroom.
01:43Everybody thinks it's just like a bookshelf but it's my closet. So you can just, little staircase comes out
01:50here. I'm just coming. This is my favorite part of the whole house. This was a vision of hers for
01:58probably four or five years. My dad and mom built this like whole room. For social media I make about
02:04six figures a year. My goal is to just fill up this whole thing with purses. I know it's a lot but I love it so much.
02:10My most expensive purchase is my Chanel bag. This was like $6,000 or something like that.
02:17This kind of impulse buy honestly. I did make all of these purchases myself. It's not for my daddy's
02:24money. It's for my money that I made from social media. I get a lot of comments saying daddy's money.
02:29Yes my parents do have money but so do I so I do buy my own stuff. I knew I never wanted to be in a
02:36traditional job. I never like my dad would talk to me like he would counsel people and I was like oh
02:41gosh like I can't sit out of the desk like I can't do that dad. So like me like oh I can record my life
02:47and get paid. That's what I want to do. I'm so glad that my mom pulled me out of school. You guys ready
02:52to make some brunch? Yeah. Let's go. We'll get Christian making the pancakes. Jenny why did you decide
03:04to pull kids out of school? We just decided that like we wanted to be able to educate our children
03:11and be able to go and travel the world with them take them with us and so the best option for us was
03:18to home educate them and that's what we did. I saw there was a lot of fluff time and I wanted that
03:22fluff time to be something that they were passionate about and I realized that putting them in a public
03:27school system with nine hours a day being gone there wasn't a lot of time after when they would
03:32come home at four or five o'clock at night for them to actually pursue their dreams. Is this like a typical
03:37day? Do you guys hang out in the kitchen? I would say this is pretty typical. The kitchen and the living room
03:41are like our safe spots like like no matter what we're doing if like one has to do homework and like one
03:45has to like edit videos we're always in like the same area and always in the same place because we
03:49just love hanging out with each other. We just wanted to have more of that family life and slow
03:53down a little bit and really enjoy having the relationships with them. We're always together and
03:58I love it. Do you want to quickly make a TikTok? Yes. I'm going to have to learn the dance real quick
04:04first so I don't know which one did you want me to do? I'll show you. Okay. Elizabeth was into social media
04:09when she was like 12 years old she kept on asking like can I use your phone I want to make a vlog and we
04:15would go to the gym and she would just record and then she would come home and and clip it and post
04:20it on Instagram and I started to realize like she's really passionate about this. Okay. Start again.
04:26Yeah so it's like dances like this that went viral on Christmas social media. She follows the trends
04:32and she's like hey mom can you hop in this learn a dance real quick and it's just simple things like
04:37that that I've done and they've gone viral. I started to be like I love the fact that we can still get our
04:43school work done throughout the day and then they can be creative and do what they really want to do.
04:48Oh you did it. Thank you. Perfect. Okay. I think people also like to see the mother-daughter duo
04:56because you know I think that's important or they they must like it. There's definitely comments
05:01the way I look or things like that. I honestly think it's funny when people comment about my mom being
05:05like a milf or hot because I just feel like oh well thanks because I'm going to be hot when I'm older.
05:11Calistabelle is the one that started TikTok for the whole family. It's every day with the
05:16air of sense. Take two steps back dad. Perfect. Go for it.
05:30Are you okay? I don't know. That takedown was crazy. Do you enjoy doing the TikToks with your
05:36family? It's super fun because I get a beat up on your mind a little bit. Give a few smacks and you
05:40don't want to smack me back. You know and I think it keeps us close. You know that was the biggest thing I
05:44saw when we took the kids out of school and decided to homeschool. We wanted a tight family. We wanted
05:49to be able to you know help them pursue their dreams but be a part of their dreams as well and
05:54not just spend time with them but invest time and this has allowed us to do that. Sometimes we go
05:58through our comments. I'm going to read a few comments back to you guys. Here's one comment.
06:02This woman is teaching her daughters a world view that is shallow and hopeless. I cannot imagine these
06:09children will ever find true happiness. This is borderline child abuse. What we do? Yeah so
06:16they're saying what we do is child abuse? Child abuse that's a bit much. Yeah that's kind of wild
06:21because we're gearing up kids that are a blessing to society instead of a menace to society because
06:27they're they're learning how to be self-sufficient. We would much rather have our children love what they
06:32do than go and make a ton of money and hate their life. I have absolutely no regrets taking my kids out
06:38of school because I've actually seen them prosper in every single thing that they've ever wanted
06:43to do. I mean my children have like traveled the world they've done more than Mitch and I did when
06:50we were 40 years old. Dad's like dad likes us nice and toasted. I would say if you're contemplating
06:59whether or not you know you should home school or private or public I think you just got to figure
07:03out what what are you trying to accomplish. I feel like people kind of like think that just because
07:08you're homeschooled you don't have like a social life that you're just always in your home you don't
07:11want to speak to people when you're out in public and you're like at the shelf but we're actually
07:15we're not but that's kind of how people like take it as it is. I feel like what you did was really
07:20amazing. I wasn't raised you know in homeschooling system but for me I just wanted a head start on
07:25making money. Getting to know Colette and being in the entrepreneurship family that she's in it
07:30it definitely gave me a different route that I wanted to take. I think homeschooling is a great
07:34opportunity for a parent to be the number one influence for their kids. I mean hands down we
07:38were so proud of all of you guys you know watching you guys grow up and becoming the people that you
07:43are today it's been amazing. More importantly like we I've just enjoyed every single minute raising my
07:50children like I've loved it you know I really hope that each one of their kids really accomplish what
07:54they've wanted to accomplish in life and if Mitch and I can be a part of it that's awesome.
07:57What do you hope people will learn from watching this from watching this
