"Your kids come second": Gatlin Didier's Granny makes her case
Her marriage-first advice draws an unusually large audience, with viewers discussing date nights, shared parenting and where to draw the line.
Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 224,558 views a day, 6 times a normal first day on this channel (37,388).
This should come before your children 😉❤️
Coffee mug in hand and a red polka-dot apron on, Granny delivers a blunt opening on Gatlin Didier's channel: "Your kids come second." Not second to work or a phone, she explains. Second to your husband.
Her reasoning looks ahead to the house after the children have grown up and left. Parents, she says, need to keep being a couple along the way: go on dates, make room for intimacy and show their children what a loving relationship looks like. "The best gift you can give your kids is a mom and daddy who love each other."
The Short drew roughly 225,000 views in its first day, about six times Didier's usual Shorts audience. The comment section was more than four times as busy as usual, too, and the discussion gets more practical than a simple agreement or disagreement.
One viewer suggests that putting a wife first can mean taking the children to the park so she gets a break, or helping them choose a gift for her. Others remember their parents demonstrating affection. Some push back against any reading of the advice that would put a spouse ahead of children's safety or needs.
Didier's Granny has previously supplied cleaning comedy and ranch-life observations. Here, the coffee mug accompanies a direct piece of relationship advice, ending with her reminder that children are learning from what they see: "They're watchin' how it's done, honey. Show 'em."

Your children need to see healthy love. Parents need to hug each other, kiss each other, talk and smile with each other. Beautiful!
