I Built a Tree House for my Kids

Okay guys, so today we're going to be attempting to build an epic tree house in our backyard. And let me tell you why we're doing this. My husband and I think that our two kids, Mila and Noah, are spending way too much time on their iPad. And we think if they go outside and play, they'll bond a lot better. So to fix this, my over-the-top husband came up with a plan. He wants to build an epic tree house that's so insane that the kids are going to want to play with it all day long. But I disagree. I actually think a mini playground is going to get them to be outside way more. But unfortunately, we can only have one. So to settle this, today we're going to be going through different tree houses. And playgrounds. And at the end of the day, my kids, Mila and Noah, are going to decide which one they actually want. Is it going to be a tree house or a sick playground? Mission set? Let's go. Let's get this party started. Then we headed to go see all the tree houses. Starting with a tour of this one-star tree house. So imagine Noah. What? And Mila. Ew, so cringe. Can't believe I agreed to this. You said you're going to have an open mind. Okay, let's go. Okay, just go. Okay, here we go. Look. Why are you- Honey, it's good. Look, we're good. I'm pretty sure it's not made for you to do that. Okay. Don't worry, let's go see inside the tree house. But meanwhile, back home, my little brother, Alan, was really sad because he got fired from his job. Okay guys, so last week I got fired from my job. I used to work at my dad's friend's mowing company. And everything was so good until I got fired. And now with the car and school, I need some money. So today I'm going to be trying out four new jobs that I'm going to go interview. And guys, hopefully one of them picks me at the end of the day. Because I'm going broke. All right guys, so I'm here at Cereal Twister. I'm applying to be an ice cream server. And honestly, I think I got in the back because I love ice cream. I hope they hire me at the end of the day. My new bosses are literally just right over there. Hey, how are you guys? Hey, doing well. How are you? Alan, nice to meet you. I'm Sean, it's a pleasure. Nice to meet you. Alan, nice to meet you. How are you? Good, good. How are you? Although Alan's nerves were starting to kick in, let's see how well he'll do. What kind of job experience do you have before coming here? I used to mow lawns and just kind of like do like yard work mostly. You used to, what happened? I kind of got like let go because I kind of like slept in on accident. You know, that's not going to happen anymore. I learned from my lesson. So, you know, you mentioned a couple, you know, pros and cons. Like you overslept a little bit. But what are your strengths? What are your weaknesses? I say my biggest strength is my work ethic. When I'm like get put to something, like I'll always get the job done. But I'd say like my biggest weakness is like I'm too nice to people. It depends on the job. But if you're too nice to people, then they'll probably just walk all over you. And after Alan somehow impressed the employers. Well, thank you very much. Appreciate it. Does that mean I'm hired? Not yet. Let's test it out. How good you are with everything that you have to do. All right, sweet. Let's go. But Mila was facing an even bigger problem back home. OK, guys, so today is my teacher-parents conference. It's in four hours, so I'm a little scared because I don't know if they're going to say anything bad, even though I don't think I've done anything bad, really. So we, me and Noah wanted to make a basket for mommy today. Like flowers, perfume. So if we're bad, we will get in trouble, I hope. Now we're going to make a basket for mommy. So here are our baskets, like a little picnic basket. And it's very cute and nice. This is like mommy's vibe right now. And then my mom, she really loves chocolate raspberries. And if you guys are wondering, my aunt Sarah is babysitting us. So we're just going to put this in here. And let's just hope my plan will work. Then Enes went inside his one star tree house. Oh my God, look at how cool this looks. And here's the outside. Guys, this is literally on the tree. That's actually crazy. Look, even when you go in, the tree's right here. Hi, honey. Just come up and take a quick look. I'm scared. This is why they shouldn't have a tree house. What if somebody falls out from here? This is why it's a bad idea. It reminds me of the start of every horror movie. Like, what is this? Oh, that used to be a bed. I think they had kids. And then the kids just probably went to college or something. I'm pretty sure nobody slept here. Yeah, they did. Look, there's a mattress. But all this did was show me how playgrounds are much better. Okay, so if I show you one that's actually nice, you'd change your mind? Maybe, yeah. But Alan was about to try out for his new job to see if he'll get hired. So we're going to have Asha here. He is the specialist with everything here. How good are you with your hands? How are you able to do everything? Okay. And after putting on the uniform, Alan started facing some problems. Yo, bro. What? You need to tie your apron, man. Actually? Yeah, actually. This will never happen again. Trust me, bro. Uh, I mean, boss. You want to turn on the machine. Pull this down. Oh, that's cool. Usually, like, when do you stop? Right now, I'll be good. All right. See, bro, I got the hands from the lawnmower job recently, bro. You got fired from that job, I heard. Uh, nah, don't worry about that, bro. You're good. And after dispensing the ice cream... I got it. That's a nice ice cream, man. I think I got it, right? And after making an ice cream cone... Down. There you go. Slow. But before Alan tries out for more jobs to see if one of them will hire him at the end of the day, Mila was getting nervous about her parent-teacher conference in two hours. I don't know why I'm so nervous about this thing. I really hope my teacher's gonna say some good things about me. Don't worry, Mila. We can... Mila, we should get chocolate crustables. I really like chocolate crustables, but mommy doesn't like that. I think she's a bastard. But when Mila left, Noah decided to ruin her plan. And after Noah hid the pickles... He then also got mayonnaise. What did you put? I feel like he put something disgusting like pickle. Even if the teacher said good stuff about me, that would put me time out. Why do you have mayonnaise? She doesn't even like mayonnaise. I'm gonna go put this away. I'm gonna put my breath inside. Noah, no, no. He put his breath and he didn't even brush today. And after adding a few more items... Okay, guys, so there's this chocolate milk. It looks really fancy and really like nice because it's low-fat. And mom got a diet. But they were quickly running out of time. Why are we only getting food? We've been in the kitchen for like 20 minutes already. Let's go get some other stuff. Come on, guys. But soon we'll see how well Mila does in her parent-teacher conference. Then Ennis and I went to a much bigger tree house. Okay, guys, so now we're here at the three-star tree house. And I'm not going up. Why aren't you coming up? What are you talking about? You're literally dangling off a ladder. Hi, Ronan. Yo. Do you think the kids should pick a tree house or a playhouse? Tree houses, they're classic. Everyone has one when they're a kid. So I think they should get a tree house. I didn't have one when I was a kid. Well, you need better childhood. That's for sure. Okay, are you gonna go up or no? There's no way. That's scary. You think the kids could go up something like this? Why don't you believe in the kids? They're more than capable. But Ennis was trying every tactic to convince me. Guys, look at the squirrel. Oh my god, look at this. Tell me this is not cute. Oh my god, she's so cute. Is that convincing you? The squirrel gave you some points. So are you gonna come up? No. We don't have to make it that high. Let's see it from the inside and this side. Okay, let me know how that goes. You're not coming up? No, stay with the chickens. Okay, I'm gonna go up. Okay. Is this thing moving? You're good, you're good. Oh my god. Guys, look at this. This is like nerve-wracking just watching you. Dude, this is actually cool. Please, please, please, please don't slip, trip. Somebody tell me why I would do this instead of a playground. But after a while of climbing... Okay, here we go, babe. Look at this. You chicken. Come up, come up, chicken. And I'm not talking about you, Asala. Oh, I was talking to the other chicken. But now it's time to see the inside of the treehouse. But look at the view from the treehouse. Tell me this is not so cool. Okay, let's experience this from the inside. Oh, okay. Okay, it's actually kind of cool. Okay. Really? Look at the windows. Stained glass windows, that's fancy. But I was honestly really uninterested. So while he's enjoying the treehouse that he might fall off of, I'm gonna enjoy the chicken. Look at the ambiance in here. It's like, it's warm. We have a light bulb. Like, how does this have light inside the treehouse? I've never seen that. Look at the view. It's like really cozy, really nice. Like, this is actual tree, bro. It's built on the tree itself. Like right there, right here. Bro, that's actually sick. Look at the tree. Look, literally the tree is coming out of the treehouse into this. It's actually beautiful. Hey, babe, what are you doing? I'm literally chilling with the chickens. They're so cute. Oh my god, I never pet a chicken. Come back, chicken, chicken, chicken, chicken. Can we go? We literally have a parent-teacher meeting for Mila. It's literally in two hours. Unless you're actually being irresponsible. Look, since you don't like this, let me just show you the five-star treehouse, then we can decide if a playground is better. But Alan had another job interview. All right, guys, for the next job I'm applying for, it's gonna be a janitor at this Japanese restaurant. Okay, so let me go meet my boss or my potential boss. Nobody wants to hire me yet, so maybe I get hired here. And this is my future boss, Mrs. Portia. Hi, Alan. You need to clean the whole place in 15 minutes. So if I clean this whole place really good, do I get the job? I let you know. I call you, okay? I'm gonna sit there and watch until you finish. Okay, so I think I'm gonna sweep it first, and then I'll mop it after. It looks really bad. Then Alan quickly swept the entire floor in hopes of getting hired. Honestly, it's not that bad. It's chill. I don't really gotta talk to anyone. It'd be better if I had AirPods in, though. But of course, if you're Alan, you're bound to make a mistake. Oops. Now I gotta clean all the seating areas. Look at how dirty the tables are. I didn't know the owner was eating Taco Bell today. Dude, this guy was munching. But then this happened. Oh, it's opened? Oh, I should have worn gloves. And after cleaning and disinfecting all the tables, it was time for the worst part. All right, the bathroom's right here. Let's see how it is. Nah, that's not even a human being was in here, bro. Bro, was Godzilla taking a- But wait, wait, wait. You guys, we actually have a phone number that you can text us at any time. And if you do, every week you get a chance to win a crazy prize. Text us at 818-306-2020. And I'm gonna be replying to the first 100 people that text us, so good luck. It smells in here, too. Bro, I actually respect people that do this. This is tough. I better get hired, bro. I'm putting so much effort into this. I don't even clean my own room this well. How do you- But with only a few minutes left, it wasn't getting easier. Why is it greasy? Oh my god, what is that? Bro. See, guys, I'm not so bad at this. I'm actually doing pretty good. All right, I'm just gonna mop this whole entire place real quick and call it a day. All right, I'm going real quick, bro. And after some mopping and mopping- Hey, boss, I'm already done cleaning. Okay, I cleaned the floor, the bathroom, and the kitchen. I'm all done. Are you sure you finetted? Yeah, yeah. All right, yeah, yeah, I got that. It's a little mistake, my first day. So am I all good or- I let you know. I call you. Okay, all right, sounds good. I think I got this in the bag. I think I got the job. But before we find out if any of the jobs will hire Alan, Mila had to finish the basket before her teacher conference. Okay, guys, come on. We are gonna go somewhere really cool. So this is my dad's kind of room. This is where he works and edits the video for you guys. To make mommy really happy, we have some pictures of me and Noah. Look at this photo. So we're gonna put it inside the basket. And also, this is a notebook of when my parents got- I found a notebook of my parents when they got married. This was eight years ago, guys. They did their wedding in Canada. Look at that snow right there. This is the first time mommy and daddy met. Look at little Alan. We're definitely gonna put this stuff in there. But Mila's basket was only getting better. Okay, guys, so this is a picture of Noah before he was even born. And this is a picture of Mila when she was a baby in my mom's belly. And after adding a few more photos- This photo of mommy, Noah, and then mommy look over here. I'm definitely putting all of the stuff in the basket. And that way, if the parent conferences didn't go well... That's a great plan. When's it happen? Oh god, I think it's in two hours, guys. And this is where Mila got even more nervous. I really hope my basket will work later today. Then Enes and I arrived to the best treehouse in all of LA. And now it's time for the five-star treehouse. Why don't you sound excited? Can't you just be excited? I just want this to be over. Why? Because the kids are obviously going to pick the playground. So guys, look at this. So we're in the backyard of a house that has a full-on treehouse that is insane. And guys, look how it looks from the outside. Isn't that cool? Kind of looks like your ex. And it actually even has a swing. So now you get your playground and your treehouse at the same time. That's actually cool. But I don't think it holds your weight limit. Honey, if it holds you, it'll hold me. What do you mean? I'm half your size. But not half my weight. Dude, can we get this done? We need to go to Mila's parent-teacher conference meeting. But you promised you'd give this treehouse a chance. All right, I'll give it to you from the outside. This one looks really cool. I bet from the inside, it's even better. If I'm going to build a treehouse for the kids, it's going to look like this one from the inside. Okay, are you guys ready to see it? Guys, this one is different. All right. Three, two, one. Oh my God. This is like legit. Isn't that crazy? Everything's made out of wood. So guys, it has a desk here. A whole couch area to sit there. Yo, there's even like a mirror here. There's a mirror. That's actually insane. I could picture Mila like doing her homework here. Her and Noah like playing, pretend. And guys, here's the window from the outside. This is what you see the whole backyard. And look, guys, this is actually the tree. That is crazy. Okay, I'll give it to you. This one's actually cool. It feels cozy like the ones you see in like movies. Did I change your mind yet? I don't know. I think what I like about this one is that it feels safe. Close to the ground. It's cozy. It's still surrounded by the tree. It's very spacious. There's like a lot of things you could do. But at the same time, I don't know. I feel like there's more use to a playground. Did they understand the memories these kids are going to make in there? You're ruining my dream. Is it your dream or the kids? Mine. But Enes was trying everything to convince me. Babe, you should sing. Trust me. It actually has good echo in here. Wait, listen, listen. Good morning, sun is shining. Good morning, Enes and the family. Okay, is this changing your mind? Is this changing your mind? Are we not getting a playhouse anymore? Are we, are we, are we gonna get a treehouse? Then Enes had one last trick up his sleeve. Okay guys, so now we're gonna see it with the lights on. Three, two, one. Yo, that's actually so cool. Oh my god, are these actual fruits? Yeah. Guys, look, there's even plants. So cute. Little cactuses, little baskets. So do you like it? That's actually so cute. It feels like an actual little mini house. Reminds me of like the holidays, you know? Like the crazy fall holidays. So did I change your mind? You're gonna make it like this one? Yeah. All you have to do is just support my plan. Okay, listen. First, we're gonna go to Mila's parent-teacher conference meeting. And then I promise we'll all sit down and then we'll think about it together. Okay? Imagine Mila does bad at the conference. Then they're not gonna get anything. Not a playground or a treehouse. She gets an F, it's your fault. What do you mean? The genetics. Where does it come from? Let's just go to the conference. We're late. Then Alan arrived at his next job interview hoping he gets hired. All right guys, so I'm here at a mini resort. And the next job that I'm applying for is a lifeguard. And my future employer is right there to test me. All right, Alan. There's three tests you gotta pass for us to consider you for the position. Yes sir, it's gonna be easy. Don't worry about me. Your first test is very simple. You have to save the bear before it sinks. But somehow Alan was able to finish the first test. All right, sir. Did I pass? Yeah, you passed. But the next test is really gonna test your expertise. All right, I got you. I'm really hard-driven. I'm gonna do anything I can to get this job. All right, your next test is very simple but difficult. You have to swim there and back in under 30 seconds to test your swimming ability. They used to call me high school Michael Phelps. We'll see about that. Three, two, one. All right, good dive. A bit slower than our usual. Come on, push it! And after Alan barely beat the required time. As I told you, sir, they call me Michael Phelps. 23 seconds. Are you considering hiring me yet? You need to pass the final test for us to consider you. And it's to test your speed and ability to locate and save people. So turn around. I'm gonna throw this key in the water. You're gonna have 30 seconds to find it. Bye, Mr. Alan. But what Alan didn't know is the instructor was only pretending to throw the key. Being able to react quick is the most important part of this position. Oh, where is it, bro? You're wasting time. Sir, I don't see it! You need to find it in 10 seconds. 9, 8, 7, 6, 3, 2, 1. Mr. Alan, you know what the most important part of being a lifeguard is? Being observant. The keys were in the pool. They're right here. But you said it was gonna be the pool you lied to me. The lifeguard position throws so many curveballs at you that you had to be ready for everything. So am I getting the job? We'll call you later today. Okay guys, so now we're in my room. And these are all my products and I'm gonna give some to mommy. And I know she's gonna appreciate it so much because it's my stuff. I love you, mommy. I know the teachers aren't gonna say good stuff about me. But this is just in case. So let me show you. These ones I don't really need. A lipstick and this lip. My dad doesn't even let me use lipstick, but he lets me use lip glosses. I got this lipstick. We bought this for the video when I was doing my first dance. I think mommy would love this one. So this one's going in the basket. So I'm just gonna leave it here for now. Next, mommy loves Hailey Bieber and road. So maybe I'm gonna give this to her, but I really love this. Road is definitely gonna make mommy happy. So this is also going in the basket. But then they started to get worried. I still think your teacher's meeting is gonna go well, maybe. My main teacher probably loves me. I don't know what my PE teacher or my library teacher is gonna say because I talk to my friends a lot. And that would definitely get mommy mad. So hopefully this helps. But now this is sincerely yours. This is so nice skincare. Salish and Jordan really sent mommy a thousand of this. So I don't know if it's gonna make it. So I'll just keep this one to use for myself. Thank you, Salish. And after adding a few more products... Okay, guys, basket's ready. In the second mommy and daddy finished the meeting for our teachers, I'm gonna give it to her. I'm really nervous. I don't know why I'm nervous. Should I be nervous? I think you should be nervous and go in timeout. Oh, no. This can go a good student. Okay, good, good, good. Then we headed back home to pick up Mila. All right, guys, now it's time for the parent-teacher conference meeting. Are you ready? Yeah. Is it gonna be good? But now let's see if Mila's plan will work. Guys, look what she gave me. Isn't this so cute? And it has, like, the cutest stuff I just went through it all. My favorite, the road lip gloss. That's so cute. She knows how much I love it. We're actually late, so we need to go down. Okay, guys, so obviously when we're inside, we're not gonna be able to film anything. So now we're gonna go inside, and we're gonna let you know how it goes after. But I thought of something. So me and Enes were just talking, and I told him that if Mila actually does good in the parent-teacher conference... We're gonna get our tree house! What tree house? Oh, you don't know about the tree house. You're gonna be shocked. Okay, but only if Mila actually does good at the parent-teacher conference, or nobody's getting nothing. Okay, I'm down. Deal. We're getting our tree house! You better have done good at school. I, I, I... Okay, why am I scared? Okay, let's go. Okay. But now it's time for Alan's final job. Let's see if he'll get hired. All right, guys, for my next job, it's Instacart. If you guys don't know what that is, it's like Uber Eats, but for groceries. So pretty much I got my first order, where I have to shop for all the things that the customer wants, and deliver them in 45 minutes. All right, Hesham, come on. What did I bring you here for? Hey, I'm just here for emotional support, bro. But right off the bat, Alan made his first mistake. Yo, yo, yo. Don't you need a cart? Bro, lock in or you're getting a two-star rating. All right, so the first thing I have to look for is vitamin gummies? Multivitamins, right here. Okay. So what, what color does it say? What is it? Does it have a color, a flavor? Oh, I think I found it. Yeah, this is the one right here. Women's multivitamins. It's all the vitamins you need. Boom. The next item is raw milk. All right, I'm just gonna park my cart right here, because it's way too big. Yo, 30 minutes left. Come on, bro, you gotta be a little bit more efficient. Then Alan ran into another problem. I don't think it's here. Is it, is it any of these? No, no, no, it's not these. Maybe it'll be here. Oh, it's this one. She said if you can't get the raw version of this brand, you can just get organic milk. Like a substitution? Yeah. All right, let's go. You're running out of time. For the next thing, I gotta get organic potato chips. Why is everything organic? I don't know who's ordering this, but they bougie. But after he found the next product, Alan made a huge mistake. Don't you have to scan the items? I do? Yes, bro. Okay, hold on, let me scan it. You gotta scan each barcode. Bro, you're so slow. I'd give you three stars, Max. And after getting the rest of the products on the list, it was time to check out. All right, heaviest things first. Any slower. All right, let's go, let's go. If you deliver the stuff late, you're not getting five stars. Where's your pork? Right there. Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go. Bro, why you got nothing in your trunk, bro? What you want me to have in there, bro? Let's go. Do you have the address? Yeah, I got it. It's 15 minutes. But that's a problem because he only has 14 minutes left. Your truck should be in a different parking spot. Like, oh my God, let me go. Oh my God, I'm in a V6, I won't make it in time. I think we're good. It says I should literally arrive there in 12 minutes. So no traffic right now, no highway, we're good. You know what's one thing about you? You have a lot of integrity in your work. You have good intentions. You work very hard. You're just very slow. But for once, luck was on Alan's side. Oh, you got so lucky. The roads are empty up here. I know, right? Where's the house? Is it this side or this side? Uh, it's on the right side. You got it? Yeah, I'm good, I'm good. All right. I mean, you're good on time. You don't gotta stress it. Look, you might actually get five stars on this one. I'm not gonna lie. Oh, here he's going. He just delivered the stuff. He's taking a picture of it. And just like that, Alan completed the order. Okay, so I'll just wait on the rating and I'll see what happens. Hopefully they give me five stars because I actually came on time. But what Alan didn't know is that he went to the wrong house because this one literally says it's for rent, which probably explains why he got zero stars. But soon we'll find out if any of the jobs accepted him. Okay guys, so we just finished the parent-teacher conference meeting. And Mila... Did amazing! Guys, they actually didn't say one bad thing and they said that Mila was so good. Like, she's always helping the teachers. They said she's always smiling. They said she's very empathetic. She cares so much about everyone and everything. Yeah, I love all my friends. That's why my teacher loved me. I actually low-key knew she was gonna be amazing because she's like her mom. Thank God we didn't need the basket. But now it's time for the moment of truth. Does that mean I get my tree house? Yes. Actually? Yeah. Actually? Tomorrow? I think your low-key convinced me. I feel like there's one more thing left. Wait, what's going on with Alan today? Rejected? Wait. Oh my God, I got rejected. Oh my God, bro, I'm done.
