The answer

There is no objection to earning from publishing videos if they are permissible and their advertisements are permissible. As for documenting family life matters, it involves several harms, including: imitating disbelievers, lack of modesty, filming women revealing what is not permissible, exposing details of homes which are private, boasting about possessions, exposing oneself to envy and the evil eye, and exposing secrets to future taunts. Based on these harms, this type of documentation is forbidden, and earning from it is also forbidden.
