Justin Moore has four kids, and while he is fortunate enough to be able to spoil them if he wanted to, he wants to make sure that his kids grow up with a sense of gratitude and humility.  Justin says, “I think we really do try our best to temper the luxuries that we could provide them with, if that makes sense. You know, I think any parent, whether you do what I do or whatever you do, you want to give ‘em everything.  You want to give them the world, obviously. And so with us, we just try to take care of and do nice things for ‘em and get them a toy every now and then, but they know it’s not like every time you go to Target you get a new toy. Nuh uh.”

Justin, who just released his new single, “The One That Didn’t Make It Back Home,” says raising his family back in his home state of Arkansas helps to foster a sense of normalcy with his kids.  And while most of his kids are still too young to understand, as they get older, Justin wants his kids to realize that people might pre-judge them or assume what they’re like because their dad is a successful country music singer, but he says, “We try to do a really good job of explaining that first and foremost, and how you have to disprove a lot of the, maybe negative things that people may or may not have about you before they get to know you.”

While Justin works to instill a sense of gratitude in his kids, he is extremely grateful this Thanksgiving to have four healthy children and a loving and supportive wife who allow him to make music and tour the world playing that music for a living.

You know, I think being back home helps that because we want them to fit in with the other kids and people are going to have expectations of us and them before they know them anyway. So we try to do a really good job of explaining that first and foremost, and how you have to disprove a lot of the, maybe negative things that people may or may not have about you before they get to know you.”
