That's right y'all This will be the first time we've had some girl talk With just us, you know I've seen her but she came over here and JB was in no way a golden look. I'm trying to look you know Blessed and highly favored I'm trying to look like that, you know I'm trying to look like an extra member of Kirk Franklin choir. I'm trying to look you know Yeah, I know I'm so extra. So I'm not gonna use that poor What is that thing? Um, that you sit me I'm not gonna use that this this time Because I felt a little casket sharp instead. I'm gonna use Oh Face primer anyway y'all what is wrong with these chilling these kids? Look at I'm at that point in my life to where I'm seeing my my nieces grow up My friends kids are growing, you know, they're growing up and some of these kids are just way out of pocket out of control And you as a parent sometimes I'm wondering if you know thinking what it were do I go wrong? You know, you do all you can for your children. You try to put them on the right path and sometimes they just I'm just gonna be front up front. You they just do stupid stuff and you think you know try to think do this So what the hell is wrong with these kids? You know, so and I'm just I was on Facebook I try not to get on there that much because I do a lot of judging I will admit that I do a lot of judging behind scenes and thinking to myself girl. This is not a diary Again people over sharing on social media girl get you a go to the Dollar Tree get you a notebook write your emotions there You ain't got to do all that on stop over sharing Because this is the thing most of the people don't really I hate to say this most of people reading that stuff It's a false sense of caring They don't really care about about that what you're going through a lot of them will use it against you later on So don't be putting that on social media make a call Call one or two of your good friends vent out to them and pour out your heart Let them, you know be your Facebook live or whatever, but my niece was on Facebook live y'all Mind you my parents are extremely Conservative and religious. I mean they go to church several times a week my mama's I think my mama does church announcements Yeah, they into the church like that, right? My niece is on social media acting a plumb full and this is think she's grown You know, she's 21, but in my eyes, you're still a child and when you have your grandparents and family You need to be mindful of this stuff You say so child. Why is she on Facebook live freestyling? saying all types of holes and Freestyling talking about some type of mixed-tape she I need for you to get your little button school Focus on your job focus on gaining a skill set. I can't y'all I cannot deal. I just I Told my husband that he just shook his head. He cuz he's been knowing shy since she was like a year old You know what I mean? So I'm like, I said I can't believe what she's doing. I said you Freestyling and you know, I guess he's freestyling nowadays when you freestyle it could be pre-written not where I'm from Freestyling it's off the bone. It ain't no pre-written nothing. No pre. Are you serious one it that? And I guess in her eyes, I'm disappointed that that route she wants to take but I guess to her in her eyes This is one of many skills that she can do is is to freestyle and be a rapper and you know how many people want to do that You know how long people like Nicki Minaj been behind the scenes rapping We have no idea what those people went through to get to where they you know and what they're currently going through But yeah, I just and then my friend I'm going to meet today She I'm gonna try to briefly ask her about her daughter Last time I spoke to her her daughter was going to school and she was in college But she was behind a little bit, but it's okay. She's only 20 years old or 19 actually But the girl wasn't listening. She didn't want to listen to my friend She went to do things how she wanted to and my friend had been preparing her for school Literally, she was 12 years old preparing her for college. Let her know. This is what you need to do These are the classes you need to take. Let me tell you something. I Am not I will not be Going through this down this lane path with JB They have it to where now these kids can literally Graduate with a high school education and some college credit That's the route we're going because I'm not taking up no student loans. You better get some grants You better get some scholarships not only that but we or I'm not really worried about JB I can already I already see JB in the future. I already see it. I already see a baby But another thing that we are encouraging this, I'm encouraging JB to do my husband does it too You know, you don't have to be go to college to be successful get a skill set and I read something that one of my friends who's in education and she actually creates curriculum early early development curriculum She's a director at a school. One of the things that she shared a couple of months ago It's to not necessarily ask your children what they want to be when they grew up asked them What problems do they want to solve? So that's the seed. I'm planting in JB. I don't show you guys all this but he He's taken apart most of his toys. I Don't stop him. That's something he likes to because he wants to see what's inside of him He wants to see how they work now some of them. He will put put back together But most of them he don't he wants to see what's inside of it and I care Well, you know, we like here you go. He was spent all day. He has a little bitty screwdriver. It's so cute He has a set a little bit of screwdriver He'll take a hammer and I sometimes I have to walk and watch I'm like, you know, you need to be careful with that hammer JB and he will break this girl. He's like, I just want to see what's what's inside of it Lately though, he had accidentally tore one of his toys that he Really liked and he was able to fix it and it was electrical. I was like, look at you You know, I encourage him and you know that way He's really good at math not so good in English really excels at math Because when you in school when you're in college There's no there's no granny or your mom and I wake you up and say hey You need to get up to go to your call to get it go to your class But again, this is why I'm gonna be encouraging JB do this stuff while you're in cop in high school Excuse me. Excuse me so I can watch you So so I can help you while you're here If he does decide to go to college junior college Don't be like your little friends half of them are gonna drop out. Anyway, that is a fact Half of them will drop out. They wouldn't meaning they will I would say half of them will not graduate That was the stat when I was in school. I don't know if it's even worse or better now It's sure enough out of three my first classmates. I was the only one to graduate I Had three classmates the first year and it's hard y'all. I mean I I Busted my butt in school. Let me check the time. I'm ramble. Oh, yeah girl be quiet But I worked my butt off in school. I had hard work ethics. I went to college when I was only 17 I worked Two jobs all the time Minimum two jobs on campus once I got a car I started to get a job off campus now I wouldn't recommend that because my grades suffered but I did it because I had to I didn't do it because I wanted to baby I didn't I didn't do it because I wanted extra spending money. I needed money. I needed money to pay my rent I needed money to They'll pay my bills So My parents, you know, we couldn't I couldn't get scholarships. I wasn't extremely smart You know what I mean? I was all right y'all. It's my makeup. Just did it real quick like now these twists are from See, I don't have to describe it. I took down the mini twist yesterday And I just put these in just because so that's why they look super super defined And I really I'm not gonna separate I'm just Taking down unraveling. Yeah, look at the lip Almost I haven't measured my hair I think I'm almost back to my length before the disaster happened girl. I Know his hair is hair. It will grow back Let's talk about y'all. I'll show you what my look what everything looks like when I'm done All right, y'all whoo, so this is what my husband has bought Can't be JB is in it Yeah, I got in it. It was like a torture. It was like a torture chamber I mean it was squeezing stuff. Maybe I'm not using it right But I have to scream for JB to let to press the power off to let me out because it was squeezing me too tight I don't know if this is for if you overweight. You can't get in this Okay, you know, what is it doing, baby? It's like Yeah, I don't I didn't like it I felt I felt like Some final destination stuff going on so I have to get out You like it, baby. Maybe we'll show daddy have daddy to show us how to really use it properly
