  • sons always feel they need to be the man when one parent is gone

  • Amazing song

  • I know some kids genuinely wanna help their families, but kids should be kids. Kids aren't made to deal with the emotional stress that adults can deal with. Parents need to be parents and not put all the stress on the kid.

  • I have this cd but Ive never seen the videos about it until now and I love it

  • this song reminds me of my 11 yr old son.. his daddy calls him on saturdays.. he is fixing to be deployed and is away from us right now.. my son says he has to make sure we are ok until his daddy comes home.. have you ever tried to change the mind of a child that is dead set on trying to make his daddy proud??? its almost impossible.

  • Dont be foolish people its not that their bad moms, it's that they kids want to do it. I had to make that choice when my sisters both left. I had to choose to be a kid over help around the house, i was just 12 and i cooked every meal did the dishes the landuary and cleaned the house, sometimes we choose to give up our childhood for the people we love, i chose to give mine up so my younger brother and sister had a chance to be a kid, so stop talking about our moms when you cant understand a kid

  • this song fits me

    

  • I'm a military child. My mom wanted us to have a childhood. But WE choosed to help around the house. So my mom wouldn't have to. My brother stepped up and was the man of the house because he wanted to. Not because he was told to. So for you to say "those mother", MY mother, needs to step up and be a mom. you dont know what, "us", kids think or why we do what we do. And dont waste your time trying to figure it out. You will NEVER understand what it is to be a military child!

  • @cooper2907 Good job for stepping up. I bet your mom is proud of you even though she wanted you to have a childhood. Thank you for all things that you do to help your mom out!

  • @cooper2907 you are right tell your dad thanks for his time and hope your holidays were as good as mine

  • I think some of you people have it wrong, I don't think the mother is being a bad mom, and really that's not the point of the song. It says "he made the breakfast, he did the dishes so she wouldn't have to." not that she wouldn't. This is an amazing song, and I don't think we should be arguing over the mother.

  • It doesn't just work for overseas people...it pretty much fits perfectly for anyone with a parent in prison. My moms been locked up for 7 years and since then I've had to do the laundry, the dishes, all the cleaning....and so on. And once a month I would look forward to that one phone call...</3

  • I know my situation is a lil different but not much different im raising my lil brothers 5 yr old son and 2 yr old daughter because my brother is in prison and their mother is a homeless drug addict.im single i have no kids of my own and no boyfriend the onlything that means anything to me is my neice and nephew to me they are my babies even if i didnt give birth to them I LOVE THEM just the same but my nephew because of all that he has been thru still feels like he has to be the man in charge

  • @COWGIRLBABY19841

    and as much as i try to get him to loosen up and just be a kid he still tries to act like the man of the house my mom and dad help but the kids know my dad isnt their real dad they know the truth about their father and mother i want my nephew and neice to have a normal childhood and i want them to grow up to be respectable people but as for now they should be kids and i dont know what else to do how can i convince my nephew i am the adult and he is the child any advice?

  • its really pretty

  • amazing song... well done!!!!!

  • i feel really sorry for all the army wifes and children, i hope that all our trops come home safe and sound miss you uncle hope you are ok xx

  • cool

  • This song hits to close to home. My husband is overseas and our Daughter is daddys helper till he gets home. I miss my husband so much. but VERY soon he'll be home! and the phone calls are what keep her going. we have 3 children, 31/2yrs, 2yrs, and 7mths! hes been gone since sept of last year! =[

    God Bless our Troops, and ALL come home safe! =]

    -Army Wife-

  • man chuck u need to bring more songs like this out!!!!!

  • i love this sad song!! it's not saying military wives are bad it's saying the little boy wants to help around the house. Depression when your husband is away (military, business, divorce or any other reason) can be really bad i've seen it...i'm sure he didn't mean any disrespect when he sang the song

  • She is very depressed and you can't just dig yourself out. Depression is an illness and people need to be more considerate to the ones that fall to it.

  • I love the song even though it is very sad. The truth is it isn't just the kids of military parents their wives or husbands too. Even siblings get i like that My brother and my dad and my brother in law are all marines. I mean my dad is retired but my brother and brother in law are both still in. It's tough on all the family members when their dad or brother or husband or whatever goes to war. So God bless our troops and everything you are doing over there for us

  • to my bff jacob p u doin great as the man of the house

  • i love this song and it makes me realize how i blessed i am #thankyougod <3

  • I love this song

  • The little boy is going to make a fabulour husband to a lucky girl one day

  • Feel bad for the military kids but us military wives work hard too....and songs like this just go and make us feel like we are doing a bad job! Where are the songs for the families who are strong and hold things together for their spouses? And this doesnt just apply to soldier men there are sailors and airmen and of course women in the military too!

  • @lovemeans88 the song isn't about all military families. in this song the mom can't cope with her husband being gone & the kid has to take over. I don't think that it's a statement about all military familes, just one specific (albeit fictional) family.

  • my lifes been like this since i was about 10, so my sisters who are older than me could have a life.. my parents were never around, so we grew up on our own.

    now im 14 and my parents always tell me im not good enough.. that im a failure.. yet i still get up every morning to clean, and take care of their two younger kids.. just hoping one day they might say their proud of me.. and one day ill join the air force so i can prove them wrong

  • this song is soooo sad but it happens more often than not the kids want the parent to be proud of them and make things eisier for them because they no that they are hurting also they want their parents to know that everything is ok at home and that they are ok they want their parents to be happy and not to see them hurt cause that makes them hurt even more so they take this route but its soo sad to see a child grow up to fast

  • This is such a good song!

  • @kalki76. I think this is a great song. Chuck is singing about how the is trying to help out. Cause he wants his dad to proud.  The kid feels like he needs to be the man of the house cause his dad is overseas.

  • as a military wife, this is the dumbest song I've ever heard. If you want to support the military Chuck Wicks, why don't you bring them a meal, or go over to help with yard work...please don't sing this ridiculous song.

  • Realy RANDOM here..but any else think, in this picture of Chuck, he looks like Seth McFarlane?

  • my couzin mike mobley wrote this i think he did a good job

  • Im 16 and my life is alot like this.... love this song

  • it just plain makes you think of these people that want to hurt kids, im like how could you kids are amazing

    i love my lil girl i relate so close because thats how i grew up

  • I know military moms have it hard.. but they still need to be moms and not steal there childrens childhood from them.. they have a hard time with daddy being overseas too.. (my husband is overseas in iraq right now.. and my kids are being kids.. I'm the mother.. ) this song makes me tear up..

  • @Billswife104 my Dad is in the military with 9 kids some times that happens and its hard to deal with it but still that's no reason to put down a song a bout a kid that's being the man of the house tell his dad returns

  • @shellygirlygirl

    Its still NO reason for a mother not to be the PARENT. . I'm an army wife and its hard but I'm their mother. I chose this life when I married a soldier. And I am the mother.. Yes I break down sometimes. But I get up and pick up all the pieces and put myself back together again to take care of my family. I'm not going to steal my kids childhoods away from them. Its hard enough on them already with daddy gone.

  • @Billswife104 but everyone has a respectability and hes being a very good child helping his mom and i know a lot of kids that do this rather there dad is home or not home

  • I love this song even I didn't catch its lyrics because I'm not a native English speaker but now I found why this song had attracted me. Isn't it interesting that sometimes songs attract you even you don't understand, catch their lyrics, but actually those songs are the ones that you have been waiting for?

    I'm sorry for my bad English. But I hope people understand what I want to say..

  • I first heard this song last night and it made me want to cry. I had to hear it because I Loved it so much

    ((:

  • love this song made me break down and cry its funny cuase my life is the same

  • this song made me want to have a sleepover now lol jjkjkjkk

  • This is the ony song I have ever listened to that made me break down completely. It's such a beautiful song and its one of very few that actually speaks to someone's heart

  • Ah, I love how we can all relate to this song. While I'm a female, I know what its like to be head of the house. Dad is gone trying to support the family, step mom is to drugged to get outta bed.... Yeah, know how that goes. But life goes on, and it gives you something to feel proud about later on in life.

  • This was me at the age of eight to twelve makes me remember those times

  • its funny how alike this song is to my life for five years... and nowdays my friends ask me why i never smile and am silent all the time its hard to be 8 years old and have to go through that...

  • Chuck Wicks performed at the NC mountain state fair tonight and called me from a friend of mine's phone tellin me i suck for havin to work instead of bein at his concert.

  • this is my fave song by him :D

  • @kaylalynn2015

    This is ALSO my FAVORITE Country Music Song by Chuck Wick's! How this AMAZING Country Music Song ONLY Peaked at #27 on the Country Music Charts TOTALLY baffles me! The ONLY reason I can think of that this Country Song ONLY Peaked at #27 is because they NEVER played it for ANYONE to know to request it. I ONLY heard this song on Country Radio one time & that was because they were doing the Sunday Weekly Countdown. All the GOOD Country Songs are played on Internet Country Radio.

  • @kalmanizer i heard it on a radio station i have on my tv and as soon as i heard it i went on youtube and listened to it non-stop love it

  • i love this song it reminds me of when i was 10 i had to be the man of the house because my dad was alway on busness trips and i didnt realize i had to be a kid until i was 16 years old and this song just really hits home for me but the thing that kep me going was when my dad would call and when he said i m so proud of you son .

  • i like this song so much the first time i heard it i thought of my bro and my dad we will always have that special place in our hearts for those in the war my dad and bro r in the army and my dad just died and its hard so for those who have a dad or some one dear to u overseas who died ni feel really bad for u

  • I can't watch this without getting teary-eyed. My dad is in the war and he's been deployed 3 times...it affected me so badly. I'm the oldest of 5 and I became the 2nd parent when hes gone. My boyfriend just joined the Air Force and I'm so proud of him for doing what he loves and protecting his great Nation. But my heart is breaking because I miss Daddy and I know I'm going to miss my man like crazy. Thank God for all the brave men and women--and all their strong families back at home.

  • This is an amazing song. I have lived almost everything in this song as an army brat. While it is tough when a loved one is deployed overseas, you know that you have to do your job because that's one less thing for them to worry about.

  • i love country music but we just moved out of range of my fave radio station. we were stopped at a gass station when we were moving and i heard this song and i freaked out cause it was a country song.turns out the station was satelite radio so it wasnt one i could get on my radio

  • My mom was always sick when I was growing up, and dad was always at work, so I was stuck taking care of my mom, doing the laundry, sweeping, vacuuming, and all that stuff until my grandma came to take over until my dad came home, and that's how it was, since I was 5 til I was 12, so this song kinda hits me hard. I didn't have any younger sibs at the time, but now I do, 4 actually and I couldn't imagine having all that and younger sibs to look after. true, I was left alone w/ my sis before, but..

  • @kkreunen i know right

  • love this song!

  • i cant listen to this song without crying.

  • especially if they have younger siblings and sometimes the kids have to be in charge instead of the adults because they're not thinking straight. its hard for a lot of kids to go through this and a lot of kids do i think it would have been even worse if my dad was with my mom and he was over in the war

  • awsome, i saw him sing this live at harrington de.

  • its so sad to think that there are probebly little boys that have to do this

  • Poor kid.

  • i love this song bc it might be my brother and his son (if he ever has one) one day and just knowing that makes me sooooooooo sad

  • there are alot of kids who have parents over there or even siblings. i love this song and i do cry everytime i hear it. its times now that im kinda glad i dont have a son that is trying to be the man of the house, b/c if i did he'd be in this same situation cuz of my boyfriend is going over to fight in the war. i do love this song.

  • this is my song my mom says because im 10 and im the man of th house

  • i didnt notice that the father was in war. now i understand more. thank you everybody

  • i agree with horsesrule43096. there are a lot of childeren out there doing this today. and it is sad. i grew up with my sister being the "mom" of the house, and it was just like this. may god bless all of the childeren whom have done this. we thank you for being the "man" or "woman" for your household. every child needs both parents, even if the parents are their older siblings.thank you for the lyrics. i never realized what was going on in the "story".

  • i love this guy!

  • i really like this song.. its sad but really good and true

  • OMG! This song is sooo sad! Ive never really listened to it and payed attention to the lyrics and now when i just did i almost started crying! its soo true! And the sad part is, how many kids at his age have to actually do this!thank you SOO much for uploading this video! i cant stop watching it! great job on the timing and lyrics btw!

  • see the thing is they don't have to do it.........they do it because they want there mom or dad that over seas to be proud of them and to let them know that everthing is ok at home
