We Are The Hansons The Importance of Showing Our Kids Responsibility

We Are The Hansons The Importance of Showing Our Kids Responsibility

As parents, one of the greatest lessons we can teach our children is responsibility. At We Are the Hansons, we believe that instilling responsibility at a young age helps shape independent, confident, and capable individuals. Through daily tasks, teamwork, and leading by example, we show our kids the value of taking ownership of their actions and commitments.Whether it’s caring for a pet, completing chores, or managing their time wisely, these small responsibilities teach life-long skills. Responsibility fosters discipline, accountability, and a strong work ethic—traits that will benefit them well into adulthood. By encouraging our children to take on tasks with patience and guidance, we help them build character, self-reliance, and pride in their achievements.At the end of the day, raising responsible children isn’t just about teaching them to do tasks—it’s about preparing them to navigate the world with confidence and integrity. That’s what We Are the Hansons is all about.

00:00:19.960 --> 00:00:22.839
Welcome back to We are the hands that today we're

2
00:00:22.879 --> 00:00:27.920
diving into a big topic, responsibility. As parents of a

3
00:00:28.039 --> 00:00:31.920
large family, we know firsthand how important it is to

4
00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:35.079
teach our kids to be responsible from a young age

5
00:00:35.640 --> 00:00:38.000
or responsibility is it just about.

6
00:00:37.799 --> 00:00:42.159
Tours or taking care of their things. It's about shaping

7
00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:45.200
them into capable and dependable adults.

8
00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:49.679
Let's talk about how we instill responsibility in our kids

9
00:00:50.159 --> 00:00:52.719
and why it matters so much in our family.

10
00:00:54.479 --> 00:00:57.399
I'm going to start off by saying responsibility is one

11
00:00:57.399 --> 00:01:00.799
of the biggest life skills we can get our children.

12
00:01:01.359 --> 00:01:07.239
When kids learn responsibility, they gain confidence, independence, and a

13
00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:13.680
sense of accomplishment. They also learn accountability, understanding that their

14
00:01:13.760 --> 00:01:18.400
actions have consequences, whether it good or bad. If we

15
00:01:18.439 --> 00:01:22.680
don't teach our kids' responsibility, they might struggle with discipline,

16
00:01:22.959 --> 00:01:27.959
decision making, and even relationships in the future. For us,

17
00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:32.680
raising responsible kids isn't just about making our lives easier,

18
00:01:33.359 --> 00:01:35.439
though it certainly helps.

19
00:01:36.040 --> 00:01:37.760
It's about preparing them.

20
00:01:37.640 --> 00:01:41.120
For the real world, where they will have to manage

21
00:01:41.480 --> 00:01:47.719
their time, commitments, and personal responsibilities without constant reminders from

22
00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:51.280
us as parents. You know, with so many kids in

23
00:01:51.319 --> 00:01:56.079
our household, we've developed different ways to teach responsibility based

24
00:01:56.120 --> 00:02:01.959
on their ages and personalities. Here are some of the

25
00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:06.599
main ways we do it, you know, giving age appropriate chores.

26
00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:12.360
Every child in our home has responsibilities that match their

27
00:02:12.360 --> 00:02:16.520
age and ability. Our younger kids, they might be in

28
00:02:16.639 --> 00:02:20.479
charge of simple tasks like putting their toys away, while

29
00:02:20.599 --> 00:02:24.840
the older ones help with dishes, laundry, or meal prepping,

30
00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:28.039
which we don't do a lot of meal prepping just

31
00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:32.400
because things change for us day to day, so we

32
00:02:32.479 --> 00:02:35.840
don't really have a lot of time because we're so busy,

33
00:02:36.439 --> 00:02:42.000
so meal prepping usually doesn't happen here, but sometimes we

34
00:02:42.039 --> 00:02:46.400
do it just depends on the week. I guess you know,

35
00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:51.759
these tours aren't just about getting things done. They help

36
00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:55.639
our kids feel like valuable members in the family. When

37
00:02:55.680 --> 00:02:59.960
I give my kids a task, they usually if they

38
00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:04.639
they know that it's gonna help them in some type

39
00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:07.039
of way, whether it be being able to go to

40
00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:11.280
a friend's house or being able to do something, play

41
00:03:11.319 --> 00:03:18.439
on their tablets or whatnot. That helps my kids with motivation.

42
00:03:18.840 --> 00:03:21.800
I guess you could say I watch the little ones

43
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:24.800
more than the older ones because the little ones are

44
00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:28.000
more into Like I can say, if.

45
00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:30.159
You clean your room will do this.

46
00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:33.080
Or I can say, if you clean your room, I'll

47
00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:36.400
take you to the dollar tree and you might get

48
00:03:36.439 --> 00:03:39.919
to pick out something, and nine times out of ten

49
00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:43.520
they will clean that room spotless, not just pick up.

50
00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:48.520
The older kids, none of them really do laundry, just

51
00:03:48.599 --> 00:03:52.520
because they tend to overload the wash machine. That being said,

52
00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:54.919
they have other things to do. They have to clean

53
00:03:54.919 --> 00:03:57.599
their own rooms. They have to help take out trash,

54
00:03:58.199 --> 00:04:01.000
they have to help clean the table off in the kitchen,

55
00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:07.280
do dishes, wipe down counters, stuff like that. So everybody's

56
00:04:07.400 --> 00:04:13.800
helping somewhere. Sometimes if dad's outside doing car work, you know,

57
00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:18.639
changing oil, putting brakes on, the older ones are out

58
00:04:18.680 --> 00:04:20.000
there helping and learning.

59
00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:21.040
At the same time.

60
00:04:21.839 --> 00:04:24.480
We try to teach the older ones how to do

61
00:04:24.519 --> 00:04:28.319
all that stuff because it teaches them to be responsible

62
00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:31.879
with their own vehicles, making sure their oil gets changed,

63
00:04:32.399 --> 00:04:36.959
making sure their breaks are taken care of. It's teaching

64
00:04:37.079 --> 00:04:41.000
them to be responsible. I never usually have to worry

65
00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:43.879
about anything like that with the older kids. Morgan, on

66
00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:46.720
the other hand, she tends to slack a little bit

67
00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:51.439
on her oil changes, but she means to do it.

68
00:04:51.560 --> 00:04:56.399
She just very forgetful, very busy, so sometimes that does happen.

69
00:04:57.399 --> 00:05:02.160
Kids learn best by watching us as parents or adults,

70
00:05:02.519 --> 00:05:06.519
like grandparents seeing them do it, parents seeing them do it,

71
00:05:06.879 --> 00:05:08.439
aunts and uncle seeing them do it.

72
00:05:08.839 --> 00:05:11.720
They learn by us if.

73
00:05:11.839 --> 00:05:16.399
They see us taking the responsibility for our actions. Even

74
00:05:16.439 --> 00:05:19.639
if there's an argument and one of us is wrong,

75
00:05:20.759 --> 00:05:22.360
we take accountability for that.

76
00:05:22.480 --> 00:05:23.959
We are responsible for.

77
00:05:23.959 --> 00:05:30.199
That, admitting when we make mistakes and following through on commitments.

78
00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:35.560
They'll naturally start to do the same. If we tell

79
00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:39.600
them to clean up after themselves but never do it ourselves,

80
00:05:40.439 --> 00:05:45.920
they're gonna notice that disconnect. I am always cleaning. I

81
00:05:46.040 --> 00:05:49.560
just I enjoy it and it's very relaxing to me.

82
00:05:50.600 --> 00:05:54.839
I'm always cleaning, and my kids see that. Toring my

83
00:05:54.959 --> 00:06:00.600
eight year old, she especially is following that footstep. She

84
00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:03.839
does tend to mess up a lot. But if I

85
00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:07.240
say clean up, she's always the one. Or I'll say, Torrin,

86
00:06:07.480 --> 00:06:10.199
I need your help. We need to clean the table

87
00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:14.040
off and wipe it down. She will help. She is

88
00:06:14.399 --> 00:06:19.519
the first one that responds. We try to let natural

89
00:06:19.639 --> 00:06:25.199
consequences do the teaching when possible. If one of our

90
00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:30.839
children forgets something at home, they learn to double check

91
00:06:31.600 --> 00:06:36.319
next time, like my son Gavin, he always forgets his

92
00:06:36.399 --> 00:06:40.519
wallet before he leaves for work. He will sit it

93
00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:43.720
down and walk out the door, and I'm calling him, hey,

94
00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:47.600
you forgot your wallet. And then usually the next time

95
00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:49.439
he'll remember, and then he'll forget again.

96
00:06:49.800 --> 00:06:51.439
So it's just a habit too.

97
00:06:52.079 --> 00:06:56.240
If they don't do their laundry, they'll run out of

98
00:06:56.279 --> 00:07:01.199
their favorite clothes. Usually I'm the one that does the laundry,

99
00:07:01.240 --> 00:07:04.240
but if it is not in the dirty clothes basket,

100
00:07:05.079 --> 00:07:07.199
well I'm not going searching for it.

101
00:07:07.319 --> 00:07:08.800
So they learn that way too.

102
00:07:09.079 --> 00:07:12.360
They have to bring their clothes and put them into

103
00:07:12.920 --> 00:07:16.839
that clothes basket in order for their clothes to be washed.

104
00:07:17.720 --> 00:07:24.199
These lessons stick better than constant nagging. I'm not going

105
00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:26.680
to sit there and nag them twenty four to seven,

106
00:07:27.040 --> 00:07:29.839
get your dirty clothes out, take the dishes to the sink.

107
00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:35.120
They need to learn that responsibility. I can say it

108
00:07:35.240 --> 00:07:40.360
one time and I won't say it no more. Instead

109
00:07:40.360 --> 00:07:44.279
of jumping in to fix everything, we ask questions to

110
00:07:44.439 --> 00:07:50.759
guide them towards a solution. If one of the kids forgets,

111
00:07:51.759 --> 00:07:56.759
like Gavin forgets his wallet at home or something, instead

112
00:07:56.800 --> 00:08:01.240
of running it to them, we ask what can you do?

113
00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:04.680
To make sure it doesn't happen again, like you have

114
00:08:04.800 --> 00:08:09.160
to start remembering that stuff. This helps them develop critical

115
00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:14.279
thinking and accountability. We encourage our kids to take ownership

116
00:08:14.480 --> 00:08:19.560
of their schedules. Every child has a schedule, or at

117
00:08:19.639 --> 00:08:24.000
least in our home, and part of that schedule is

118
00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:26.160
remembering what you have to.

119
00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:27.000
Do that day.

120
00:08:27.519 --> 00:08:30.720
We do it day by day because the whole week

121
00:08:30.759 --> 00:08:36.279
would just confuse them. So we start off Monday, What

122
00:08:36.360 --> 00:08:38.679
do you got to do Monday? And I'll say that

123
00:08:38.759 --> 00:08:42.159
to them, especially the younger ones, and they will usually

124
00:08:42.159 --> 00:08:44.720
go through and tell me what they have to do.

125
00:08:45.840 --> 00:08:49.559
It's just a responsibility that we give them to remember

126
00:08:49.600 --> 00:08:52.679
what they have to do that day, and they're pretty

127
00:08:52.679 --> 00:08:57.559
good about that. The sooner they learn time management, the

128
00:08:57.639 --> 00:09:01.919
better prepared they'll be for adult I've watched it with

129
00:09:02.399 --> 00:09:07.279
the older kids, learning how to manage their time, not

130
00:09:07.399 --> 00:09:11.360
forget their stuff, you know, get everything together the night before.

131
00:09:12.120 --> 00:09:14.360
That way, when you're running out the door for college

132
00:09:14.559 --> 00:09:17.039
or work, you can just grab it and go in

133
00:09:17.080 --> 00:09:19.600
the morning. You don't have to worry about running around

134
00:09:19.759 --> 00:09:22.519
like a chicken with your head cut off, grabbing it

135
00:09:22.679 --> 00:09:26.000
and going. And I see that all the time with

136
00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:30.759
our older kids. They are very responsible children, and it's

137
00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:36.080
because we've instilled in them that these are the steps

138
00:09:36.120 --> 00:09:39.080
you need to take. You have to be the responsible

139
00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:42.960
one doing your laundry. When do you do your laundry?

140
00:09:43.879 --> 00:09:44.440
Pick a day.

141
00:09:45.519 --> 00:09:48.960
Usually the older kids like to do their laundry Saturday

142
00:09:49.080 --> 00:09:52.120
or Sunday. They do all their laundry for the week,

143
00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:56.039
and then it's done Saturday and Sunday come around and

144
00:09:56.080 --> 00:10:00.080
they're right back at laundry. So I've seen them do

145
00:10:00.159 --> 00:10:05.919
that a lot. Let's be honest, teaching responsibility isn't always easy.

146
00:10:06.919 --> 00:10:10.279
Sometimes it feels like, uh, you know, it would be

147
00:10:10.399 --> 00:10:13.919
quicker and easier to just do things ourself.

148
00:10:14.120 --> 00:10:15.279
But we can't do that.

149
00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:20.240
There are times when our kids push back, they complain,

150
00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:25.279
or even fail, but failure is part of that process.

151
00:10:25.600 --> 00:10:30.279
When they mess up, it's a chance for growth. I mean,

152
00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:34.399
we can't be there every single day twenty four to

153
00:10:34.440 --> 00:10:39.399
seven to show them how to be responsible. They have

154
00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:46.559
to learn by watching and by getting told. Eventually, you're

155
00:10:46.600 --> 00:10:49.039
not going to be there to do that, so they

156
00:10:49.080 --> 00:10:54.240
have to take the initiative first their actions. There's also

157
00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:58.840
the challenge of finding the balance between responsibility and overwhelming

158
00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:03.320
them when we want our kids to be responsible, but

159
00:11:04.279 --> 00:11:07.279
we don't want to load them with so much that

160
00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:12.399
they feel stressed or burnt out. We keep an open

161
00:11:12.639 --> 00:11:18.480
dialogue with them to make sure they feel supported while

162
00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:19.879
still being challenged.

163
00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:24.879
And it's not that hard. It really is not that hard. One.

164
00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:28.840
I don't want to be that nagging mom that's always hounding,

165
00:11:29.240 --> 00:11:31.799
but I also want them to learn from me the

166
00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:35.120
first time, so I try and be as stern as

167
00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:40.919
I can to let them know that listen, this is

168
00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:45.919
your responsibility. You need to figure it out and take action.

169
00:11:47.360 --> 00:11:51.279
The best part of teaching responsibility is seeing the long

170
00:11:51.399 --> 00:11:56.120
term benefits in our kids. We've watched our older kids

171
00:11:56.240 --> 00:12:01.159
step up as leaders, not just in our home, but

172
00:12:01.279 --> 00:12:08.519
in school, in sports, and in work. They've learned the

173
00:12:08.639 --> 00:12:13.960
value of hard work, the importance of keeping their word,

174
00:12:14.759 --> 00:12:18.960
and the satisfaction of a job well done. Seeing them

175
00:12:19.000 --> 00:12:25.399
become independent and reliable young adults makes all the.

176
00:12:25.279 --> 00:12:26.639
Effort worth it.

177
00:12:27.600 --> 00:12:29.240
I'm sure a lot of you know what I mean

178
00:12:29.279 --> 00:12:33.440
by that. Sometimes kids don't want to be responsible, and

179
00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:36.279
you can sit there and drill them and drill them

180
00:12:36.320 --> 00:12:39.200
and drill them. I'm going to tell you a little story.

181
00:12:40.120 --> 00:12:45.879
Our son Gavin, he is the youngest boy. For a

182
00:12:45.960 --> 00:12:52.720
long time, he wouldn't listen. He just he was very stubborn.

183
00:12:53.639 --> 00:12:55.919
I always told myself, I got to try and break

184
00:12:56.000 --> 00:12:59.240
him of that stubbornness, because you could tell him one

185
00:12:59.279 --> 00:13:01.519
thing and it would just go right out his ears

186
00:13:01.639 --> 00:13:06.440
and he would do the total opposite. And I would

187
00:13:06.480 --> 00:13:10.720
always get on him about his schoolwork in middle school

188
00:13:10.960 --> 00:13:14.720
and the beginning of high school, and I would be like, Gavin,

189
00:13:14.840 --> 00:13:18.679
you are so much better than this. His teacher said, Man,

190
00:13:18.799 --> 00:13:22.360
he works so hard, but he always forgets to.

191
00:13:22.279 --> 00:13:23.639
Turn in his homework.

192
00:13:24.159 --> 00:13:27.000
And I'm like, hmm, she said, if he would just

193
00:13:27.080 --> 00:13:29.360
do his homework and turn it in as soon as

194
00:13:29.360 --> 00:13:33.519
it's done instead of waiting four days to turn it in,

195
00:13:34.159 --> 00:13:38.399
he would be an ab student. But here he's sitting

196
00:13:38.440 --> 00:13:42.320
at a sea because he doesn't turn in his homework.

197
00:13:43.279 --> 00:13:46.639
I thought to myself, how can I fix this so

198
00:13:46.720 --> 00:13:50.799
that he will turn in his homework. So I was

199
00:13:50.840 --> 00:13:55.519
like Gavin, from now on, when you complete your assignment,

200
00:13:56.440 --> 00:13:59.360
turn it in right away. Don't put it in your folder,

201
00:14:00.000 --> 00:14:01.879
fuck it up, stick it in the basket, stick it

202
00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:04.840
on the teacher's desk wherever they want you to turn

203
00:14:04.879 --> 00:14:07.960
it in at turn it in, he says, Mom, Well,

204
00:14:08.039 --> 00:14:10.840
sometimes she tells us to hold on to it till

205
00:14:10.879 --> 00:14:13.759
the next day. I just forget to turn it in.

206
00:14:14.639 --> 00:14:17.919
I told him, from now on, even if she tells

207
00:14:17.960 --> 00:14:20.519
you to hold on to him, turn it in right away.

208
00:14:21.759 --> 00:14:25.879
That way you never forget. And if she says anything

209
00:14:25.919 --> 00:14:28.600
to you, tell her your mom told you to because

210
00:14:29.120 --> 00:14:33.360
you're forgetful. So I noticed he was doing a lot

211
00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:36.720
better with turning in his homework. I had reached out

212
00:14:36.759 --> 00:14:39.039
to his teacher a couple weeks later and I was like,

213
00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:42.159
you know, I'm just checking in to see how Gavin's

214
00:14:42.200 --> 00:14:45.720
doing with his schoolwork getting it turned in on time.

215
00:14:46.360 --> 00:14:48.919
And she's like, he's doing pretty good. He's doing a

216
00:14:49.000 --> 00:14:52.240
lot better than what he was, but he's still forgetting.

217
00:14:53.480 --> 00:14:56.679
I told him, I was like, Gavin, you cannot forget

218
00:14:57.000 --> 00:15:02.919
because you're killing your grade. Eventually, I noticed that he

219
00:15:03.000 --> 00:15:05.480
was doing a lot better. I mean to the point

220
00:15:05.559 --> 00:15:08.320
where his grade was staying between an A and a

221
00:15:08.360 --> 00:15:12.360
B and it wasn't dropping below that. You know, that

222
00:15:12.519 --> 00:15:16.360
was his responsibility to make sure it got turned in.

223
00:15:16.480 --> 00:15:19.879
And I think, you know, just my two talks to

224
00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:25.159
him helped a lot, because I always tell my kids,

225
00:15:25.320 --> 00:15:28.720
I know you guys can do the work. You just

226
00:15:28.799 --> 00:15:32.360
got to do it. You guys are super smart kids,

227
00:15:32.840 --> 00:15:35.799
and if you put time and effort into it, you

228
00:15:35.919 --> 00:15:40.080
can do it. And I'm going to tell you, I

229
00:15:40.159 --> 00:15:44.720
see how hard my kids work at stuff. Like Tristan

230
00:15:45.799 --> 00:15:49.919
in middle school. Tristan really struggled in middle school. He

231
00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:54.519
was very quiet, didn't say a lot. He was scared

232
00:15:54.519 --> 00:15:57.720
to ask for help. Even though all the teachers were

233
00:15:58.039 --> 00:16:03.639
openly and willing to help him, he was scared to ask.

234
00:16:05.039 --> 00:16:09.440
So he was starting to struggle and I was like, Tristan,

235
00:16:09.879 --> 00:16:11.039
you shouldn't be struggling.

236
00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:12.080
You know this stuff.

237
00:16:12.919 --> 00:16:16.440
Well, what he was doing was he was second guessing

238
00:16:16.480 --> 00:16:20.039
his answers and then he'd redo it and he'd get

239
00:16:20.440 --> 00:16:23.960
the wrong answer, even though the first answer he got

240
00:16:24.080 --> 00:16:28.480
was correct. Needless to say, his teacher helped him. He

241
00:16:28.600 --> 00:16:31.879
told him, don't stuck and guess yourself. You know this,

242
00:16:32.200 --> 00:16:37.240
You're very smart. Take your time and do it. So

243
00:16:37.879 --> 00:16:41.759
once he started taking his time stuff like that, he

244
00:16:41.960 --> 00:16:46.919
was catching on like nothing. All of my kids are

245
00:16:47.039 --> 00:16:51.360
very responsible, and I want them to continue that responsibility

246
00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:57.000
habit because I want them to when I'm gone, they've

247
00:16:57.039 --> 00:17:01.039
got their own kids to teach the same thing. And

248
00:17:01.519 --> 00:17:04.640
if I know they are responsible before I let them

249
00:17:04.680 --> 00:17:08.359
out of my home, then I know they're going to

250
00:17:08.440 --> 00:17:13.119
stay on that responsibility path. Every now and then people

251
00:17:13.200 --> 00:17:20.039
slip up, but staying responsible, I'm very confident in my children.

252
00:17:20.240 --> 00:17:27.119
They are very smart, well behaved kids. It's not easy,

253
00:17:27.200 --> 00:17:32.079
but it's not hard either. It can be challenging, but

254
00:17:32.559 --> 00:17:34.960
we work through it and we get them to where

255
00:17:35.000 --> 00:17:35.640
they need to be.

256
00:17:36.240 --> 00:17:37.079
Take it from there.

257
00:17:38.480 --> 00:17:41.240
You know, teaching our kids' responsibility is one of the

258
00:17:41.279 --> 00:17:45.920
greatest gifts we can give them. It's not about being

259
00:17:45.960 --> 00:17:51.759
strict or making life hard for them. It's about equipping

260
00:17:51.799 --> 00:17:55.640
them with the tools they need to succeed in life.

261
00:17:56.519 --> 00:18:01.160
We want them to leave our home as capable, confident

262
00:18:01.440 --> 00:18:07.480
individuals who know how to handle whatever life throws at them.

263
00:18:08.799 --> 00:18:12.039
And I mean that I can't stress that enough for

264
00:18:12.119 --> 00:18:16.559
our kids. We try our hardest. I'm gonna end this

265
00:18:16.640 --> 00:18:20.759
tonight by telling you, guys, thanks for joining us on
