like that love means.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
What hella is a lot of hellas fire. Hella is
like hell of a lot, no, hell of a lot. Okay, man,
It's like you're not even from New York. Why are
you trying to defend.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
You know what?
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Because when I used to go to school in Virginia,
I used to say all that said, all of it though,
hell mad? So you wanted to before everywhere I didn't
meet it was surrounded by he was a clown.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
I started saying.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
I was saying Hella a lot though, because my friends
she was lived in Maryland, so I was around her
a lot.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
But then I moved here and there.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Sorry Drake like whoever he hang around girl when he
be with them Caribbeans and be like yeah, mine boyah mine,
that's Jamaica crazy. Is you're talking from a bunch of
African talking about yeah mine stupid girl.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
All right, oh my god.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
We started reading the story ship mad Heavy. All right,
that's how we got today. All right, here we go, Jazz.
My husband and my mother are bumping heads mad Heavy.
Oh because we all live together.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
What can I do?
Speaker 1 (04:04):
He wants my mom gone, but she helps us with
the four kids we have. Damn because we both work
full time jobs. I actually have three jobs.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Oh my god. She might be a jamikan shut.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
And they mainly argue about my daughter because my husband
is pretty negligent. I'll admit I'm both scared and nervous
to confront her because my husband is unhappy Jess. But
she's still my mother. I want to respect her. But
at the same time, there has to be boundaries. Boundaries
drawn or drown Boundaries drawn?
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Is crazy? Is that like a New York thing?
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Be boundaries? I'll just say in place, because drawing. You
can't draw your boundaries. Let me say you can. You
can like going a piece of paper with a pencil.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
That's not how she's saying it, though. Okay, all right,
boundaries have to be drawn. So girl, this New York,
she got to meet friends with this morning shit.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
All right, So the mother lives with them, right obviously,
because she said the husband wants her to go. So
that's their house obviously, all right, and her husband and
her mom, but bumps head, it's her mom. They they
they bump heads, mad heavy, y'all. So and they all
live together. But they got four kids, so obviously the
(05:25):
mom is a nanny.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Hm.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
She takes care of the children.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
She said that her most of the arguments are about
she's the husband being negligent with the daughter. I don't
want to she's saying, right, slick shit. I guess the
mother if she's scared. Listen, I'm just reading the context.
If she's scared to confront her mother. Obviously her mother
is about that life. Her mother ain't the one to
be playing with. Is it making her and her husband
(05:52):
get an argument. No, she just said, like he wants
her gone. It's going to eventually come to that because
he wants her to put our mother out. But that's
how mother, who's also the nanny. But it's still a
thing of you have to respect your husband because that's
their house.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
They're still not meaning.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
The bulls because what how does your how does her
mom be talking to like how the argument is getting
too the argument because the husband is not gonna gent
with the daughter, probably steps in. The mother probably steps
in and tries to teach him how to parent, like,
tries to tell him how to parent forcefully, you know,
(06:33):
because she may feel like I know this better than you,
I've been doing this better than you, y'all need my help.
She probably want some cocky shit like y'all need my help. Yeah,
especially if our daughter is scared to talk to her
or just nervous, you know. Well, she said scared. She says,
she's both scared and nervous to confront her. She said,
(06:54):
but jes my husband is unhappy. So yeah, he's eventually
going to start taking that out on her. Well, I'm
not gonna say that it's gonna drive a wedgend between them.
He's probably gonna come to her sooner than later and say, listen,
it's me or your mom.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
I can't do this shit.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
We got four kids, and if she got three jobs
and he got four times, one of them had to
stop working and fucking be at home.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
That the only reason why she's living with them though, too.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Then I probably so, probably so that is probably the
only reason why they got four fucking children and four
fucking jobs between them both. That's a lot. Them babies,
Them babies are grandma's babies. Yeah, pretty much, four jobs
between them two. I see why the fucking neglige and
(07:43):
he fucking tied, right, God damn, Hold up, Hold up,
I know this ship getting good. But listen to just
a couple seconds of a commercial. If you love me,
you'll listen.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
What do you think.
Speaker 5 (07:55):
I feel like she needs?
Speaker 2 (07:57):
That's a lot, I said, because that's a lot, y'all.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
But she needs.
Speaker 5 (08:05):
Was she so scared of though, of like how it's
gonna letter.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Yeah, she probably scared of what her mom is gonna say,
or she probably honestly, she's probably scared that her mom
is going to be like, I'm leaving them, you know
what I mean?
Speaker 2 (08:17):
And they really need her.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
So she's like stuck between a rock and a hard
place because she doesn't want her husband unhappy. But yeah,
family counseling, that's what it is, because I'm not I'm
not gonna hold you.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
I'm not about that.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
If that were me, I'm not about to have my
husband unhappy in his own home because he keeps butting
heads with my mom. First of all, I don't want
none of my parents living with me.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
And my mother in law she lives with us, Yeah
she does, but we have enough space where it's like
and then see my mother in law.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
I'm I'm totally blessed. My mother in law. Don't give
me no fucking problem.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
She ain't no ranchit fucking ghetto ass or she don't
be she Chris is not a mama's boy like he
you know what I'm saying, And he loves his mother.
There's nothing wrong with being a mama's boy, but when
you let that spill over into your relationship, that's when
it becomes done.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
When you jump you know what I'm saying. Yeah, she's not.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
No, and his mother is very encouraging, empowering, Like she's
very encouraging, like and empowering to me where she and
she even tells something like no, your wife comes first,
Like it's not nothing's ever happened where she had to
tell him, like to put me before her. But that's
what she always preached. That's just what she lives by. Anyway,
she was a married woman, you know, three times. But
(09:51):
let's neither hear there. That's how the Mexicans get that
girl shit with one husband, don't do the second or.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Third one well, but.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
She always preaches that ship to him, like listen, no,
she preaches them that his wife comes first. It's God
your wife, then your children, and then your parents, then
your you know, siblings, then your your your other family,
(10:20):
but it's your it's God, your immediate family, and then
the extension of the families.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
I wonder they never got I wonder if they got
along excuse me before.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
She moved into though.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
But to complete that thought, what I was saying about
my whole death or real quick, what I was saying
about my parents, I would never want them to move
in me. Well, I can live with my dad, but
my mom is very spoiled. I can't live with me
and my mom the same person.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Because my my grandma she's.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Living with my parents now, but only because she has
the more stable house.
Speaker 5 (11:01):
My grandma she can't walk.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Okay, yeah, so that's different. Yeah, yeah, that's different. That's
like I'm taking care of I have to take care
of my mother. You feel me, so like, that's that's different.
When it comes to if you up and you you
mobile and you walking around. You're getting smart and shit,
and I know you take care of our four kids,
but like you, come on, you gotta let him be
(11:23):
a man.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
You gotta let him be a dad.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
You can, you can be the guardian and you can
raise the kids as you see fit. If you don't
have no problem with it, fine, but you have to. Yeah,
they just have to be. There has to be boundary
set in that household family counseling. If if she can't choose,
because I know that's.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Got to be hard.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
You want to choose, you gotta choose. She doesn't want
to have to choose between her husband and her mom. Yeah, yeah,
because you automatically supposed to choose your husband. I mean,
what do you feel about that? You was really ask
me something.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
I wonder.
Speaker 5 (11:57):
I wonder how if they got along before she moved in. Mmmm, well,
this is just like now more so overbearing.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
It could be stressio, it could be stressed on all
fucking because now I'm thinking about it, right, that's four
kids that mother got to take care of.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
There's four fucking grandkids.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
I don't know what ages, I don't know how old
they are, how young they are whatever, but that's four children.
I'm still not justifying the disrespect or you know, the
butting heads of you know whatever, that the mom is
giving off. I'm not justifying justifying that part of it.
But I'm just saying more than likely she's older. She's
(12:40):
an older woman. Yeah, yes, and she got four kids.
She probably cooked, she probably cleans. If the parents got
four jobs between them, they don't really have time to
do shit else. So the mother is probably cooking and cleaning.
And again, and I'm assuming because she didn't give me
(13:02):
a lot of meat. She gave me enough, but she
didn't give me a lot of meat on the bone.
I'm assuming that, you know what I mean. Everybody's frustrated,
all right. So that's the mom's frustration, all right. The
wife's frustration is no, let's go on it, okay, So
the nannies first, the grandmother frustration all right, the four kids, okay, cooking, cleaning.
(13:25):
On top of that, she's on her she's an older age.
You know, she's set in her ways. You know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
It's a lot.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
I don't know how old or younger the kids are,
like I just said, but maybe they are young.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Let's just assume they're young.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
That's the that's a lot to keep up with four
fucking children, all right, cool? Then you got the dad.
He's exhausted. They work, he works a full time job.
He comes home to four kids and a irritated mother
(13:57):
in law for having four children, having his children all day.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
He don't want to.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Feel that he's probably working, and he don't feel like
coming home to her probably nagging yet. And I got
to come home to you. You're not even my wife nagging.
You my wife mother, who take care of my kids nonetheless,
but you still fucking nagging me. And then not to
mention the wife the stress of her three fucking jobs,
(14:24):
and then dealing with having to play referee.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Between her mom and her fucking husband.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Still having to be present for her daughters, I mean
for our children. I don't know if their daughters or
sons or whatever, but you know, having to be there,
be present and just kind of beat a referee. And
then Shaney really got it all together because she hasn't
even sat down and had a conversation with her mother
yet because she's scared and nervous, but she don't want
her husband upset with her, and that's surely gonna drive
(14:55):
a wedge between them.
Speaker 5 (14:56):
Yeah, it is because you're like, yo, why can't talk
to you?
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Yeah, like put it in her place. If you love me,
you'll listen to this commercial and then we'll be right back.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
And the first thing that he probably would say, which
is evident or his mom would be there, is I
would never let my mother do that ship, you know
what I'm saying. And so, and that's gonna, that's gonna,
that's gonna conjure up some guilt in her and it's
just it's just not good. So either family counseling or
(15:27):
mom gotta go. I've gotta go. And I wonder if
they're paying her, because because we paid my mother in
law for Marlee's one Marlee is one fucking baby and
she's a lot. And she also takes care of my
son too, you know what I mean. So that's you know,
(15:53):
she definitely helps take care of him because Ash is
homeschool now, so she does a lot.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
She cooks, she claims. Now, we all have roles.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Like it ain't like I come home and just climbing
the fucking bed, and like Chris, it ain't like Chris
come home climbing the fucking bed. Like no, we we
all three of us cook clean. Nobody has that will,
you know. But that's that's that's only two kids, and
it's still a lot for me, Chris and my mother
in law. That's four children there for them. So what
(16:24):
if she's not getting paid? I know she probably like,
well what if she met that she's not getting paid
and it's four jobs between them and she ain't getting
no fucking money.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
Yeah, Cause I'm just wondering.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Why if she's scared, she probably scared her mom's gonna
say certain things or like like bring up certain things
like well, well you guys haven't been doing this and thing.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Yeah, she's probably not a what do you call.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
It a good mother? No, she don't like arguments.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
Whether she's not of.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Conversation yeah, yeah, the daughter is probably not confrontational. Yeah,
so that that's my advice. Well what is my What
the fuck is the advice?
Speaker 2 (17:09):
I ain't never giving up family counselor or or.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Whatever circumstanstem Maybe I mean they're got jobs up.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
Yeah, I couldn't say.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
It Probably is easy for her to come to the
house instead of dropping the kids off.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
That is definitely easy. Probably easy, or.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
You know, try to the forgerbt y'all, mate, get a
daycare or you know what.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
They beefing so much.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
They probably also beefing so fucking much because they're in
the house with each other a lot more than the
fucking mom because the mom had I mean, you know,
the wife. The wife has three fucking jobs, so when
the fuck is she ever home? So she really can't
beat a referee. That's probably why when she by the
time she do get home, ship's already in disarray and
(17:54):
they already been arguing all day and shit. Yeah, and
the mom is like, yo, you're negligent, like you or your.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Daughter like you, you know, need to watch her or whatever.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
You know.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
She didn't really expound on just how negligent he is
or what she meant by that.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
But or maybe the.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Or maybe the grandma is seeing stuff with the daughter
and that she thinks that he needs to just talk to.
Speaker 5 (18:21):
Her more or something like that.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
Could be is a teenager and she just feels like
she needs maybe something like that. Maybe, but the bumpt
the bump heads mad heavy. That's very dramatic, So that
means like it's some other shit like this nigga must
be negligent, negligent yeah, like I don't feel like she's older,
(18:45):
though I know you were saying like, well, what if
she's older, like and she's no, I feel like the
mom the grandmother, like a grandmother would really trip a
grandmother in her right mind.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
If the kids are younger and you're negligent with like.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
A baby or like a yeah, like an infant or
a toddler or you know, like somebody still young elementary,
it's gonna sound fucked up.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Then don't say it. What is it because you get
a past, you're pregnant.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
They exactly, it has to pregnancy. They had all these
jobs when they had time to fuck they why have
all them?
Speaker 2 (19:21):
I just feel like, wait a minute.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
I'm just saying and this is coming from a pregnant
woman over here talking about well, first of all, they
married Taylor, so so what you all right?
Speaker 2 (19:35):
So what you're saying, like why they have all the
fucking kids?
Speaker 1 (19:37):
If but they have the right No, no, no, no no,
that was the story. But I'm just saying, like they
got four kids and four jobs in between the boat.
Why she got three, he got four. That's a lot.
It's do what y'all want to do? Like I know,
(19:58):
the since mistakes happened whatever, and you mean, like, but
I'm just saying, after this one that I'm about to have,
I'm going to be and I've been more careful of everything.
Like I'm just saying, I'm it's the obstacles that I'm
gonna have. I'm a face though, like I'm not about
to just.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Keep popping kids out like one after another.
Speaker 5 (20:21):
Yeah boom if I look around after the.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
First one and and everything and going, I wanted to go,
you know what I got you?
Speaker 2 (20:29):
You know, I feel you.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
And then my thing is like I understand the four kids,
but why the fuck do you have three jobs?
Speaker 2 (20:37):
So she has to keep up?
Speaker 3 (20:38):
Like she clearly.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Wondering though, like what's the what's the space two of
like four kids.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
And your mom's living there?
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Is it?
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Or y'all have a big enough house and that's why
y'all gotta be Because I understand four kids definitely is
weighing on the pocket for sure, but that's a job
for each kid. That the four kids ain't the only
thing that they fucking slaving for. Yeah, like that can't
be it, Yeah what I'm saying, So maybe they do
have they're just trying and keep up with their household too.
(21:14):
Then I know some of the listeners are probably like, well,
why he don't have the three jobs?
Speaker 2 (21:18):
I don't. I don't think anybody should have fucking three jobs.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
I mean in America, Like, come on, Like, I wonder
what the jobs are that you get to do, Like what.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Do you get to do outside of work?
Speaker 1 (21:26):
If you have three fucking jobs and you work in
it's only twenty four hours in a day. Kind But
I wonder what job she has because technically, I mean,
you're in a lot of things too, though lose your job.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Yeah, so I.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Know, m that it depends on what the which is
only on weekends and then I do this Monday through Friday.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Yes, that's two jobs, and then I have other.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Oh yeah, yeah job unless she has all three nine
ninety fives or whatever, like that's a lot. But I'm
saying she's like in this the work that we're in
because I have multiple jobs too. Yeah, yeah, I guess,
but each in each and every one of them. You're
not like going to clock in and sit down and
(22:11):
have to put in the hours nine to five, Like
what if it's three nine to fives that she's saying
she got Yeah, not runs her own business. Because if
she runs her own business, she can probably work from home. Yeah,
more than likely. You know, when you do have a business,
you can work from home. Since the pandemic, that's been
like the option of a lot of entrepreneurs.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
So I don't know, but child, just get back to us, like.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Counsel, Yeah, family, talk to your mom, tell her your
feelings towards it.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
And because I feel like.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
She all I'm getting is that she doesn't she's like
that her mom and her husband are fighting.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Yeah, but but.
Speaker 5 (22:51):
And then she also agreed with her mom too.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Though she agrees. She said, like, and he is helg
he is negligent.
Speaker 5 (22:58):
So you also need to talk to your husband.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
I think all three of them should have a fucking meeting.
I don't see.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
That's how shit get misinterpreted, misconstrue Like if she sat
down and have a conversation with my mother and then
go sit down and have a conversation with her husband,
what are the mom and the husband going to talk about? Like, oh,
well she told me, Oh, you ain't say that, well
you talk to me. No, no, no, it can't be
that because then all the caddiness and shiit gonna come
(23:24):
out and it's like nah, and it's like she's gonna
play both sides.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
You can't go to the mom and.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
That like you all of what she doing and you
can't kick it to your husband like he ain't doing
nothing wrong. Like it has to be an open conversation
for transparency, honesty laid out there.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Listen.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Some of the best results come from the most uncomfortable conversations.
Look at what happened to pay a breakfast club period,
you know what I'm saying, and all that, All that
started from a fucking live right, Well, it started from
motherfuckers keeping sh it front me or not doing a
fucking job the way it's supposed to.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Be fucking done.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
But right I went live and boom, and then it
came to work the next day.

I love New York, I love I love the Lord
New York.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Dead as yeah, now dead ass is like all right,
because like we used to say dead ass series in Baltimore,

like taking.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Off hella hell hella.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Yeah, like yo, I'm hella, man, Like Hella.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Sounds better than mad because like I don't know you
what I'm hello, Like I'm hello, like it was hello
bitches in a party, instead of saying it was mad
bitches in the party, Like damn, they was all mad.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Like that's what it sounds like. Everybody had like no,
like that love means.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
What hella is a lot of hellas fire. Hella is
like hell of a lot, no, hell of a lot. Okay, man,
It's like you're not even from New York. Why are
you trying to defend.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
You know what?
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Because when I used to go to school in Virginia,
I used to say all that said, all of it though,
hell mad? So you wanted to before everywhere I didn't
meet it was surrounded by he was a clown.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
I started saying.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
I was saying Hella a lot though, because my friends
she was lived in Maryland, so I was around her
a lot.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
But then I moved here and there.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Sorry Drake like whoever he hang around girl when he
be with them Caribbeans and be like yeah, mine boyah mine,
that's Jamaica crazy. Is you're talking from a bunch of
African talking about yeah mine stupid girl.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
All right, oh my god.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
We started reading the story ship mad Heavy. All right,
that's how we got today. All right, here we go, Jazz.
My husband and my mother are bumping heads mad Heavy.
Oh because we all live together.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
What can I do?
Speaker 1 (04:04):
He wants my mom gone, but she helps us with
the four kids we have. Damn because we both work
full time jobs. I actually have three jobs.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Oh my god. She might be a jamikan shut.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
And they mainly argue about my daughter because my husband
is pretty negligent. I'll admit I'm both scared and nervous
to confront her because my husband is unhappy Jess. But
she's still my mother. I want to respect her. But
at the same time, there has to be boundaries. Boundaries
drawn or drown Boundaries drawn?
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Is crazy? Is that like a New York thing?
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Be boundaries? I'll just say in place, because drawing. You
can't draw your boundaries. Let me say you can. You
can like going a piece of paper with a pencil.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
That's not how she's saying it, though. Okay, all right,
boundaries have to be drawn. So girl, this New York,
she got to meet friends with this morning shit.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
All right, So the mother lives with them, right obviously,
because she said the husband wants her to go. So
that's their house obviously, all right, and her husband and
her mom, but bumps head, it's her mom. They they
they bump heads, mad heavy, y'all. So and they all
live together. But they got four kids, so obviously the
(05:25):
mom is a nanny.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Hm.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
She takes care of the children.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
She said that her most of the arguments are about
she's the husband being negligent with the daughter. I don't
want to she's saying, right, slick shit. I guess the
mother if she's scared. Listen, I'm just reading the context.
If she's scared to confront her mother. Obviously her mother
is about that life. Her mother ain't the one to
be playing with. Is it making her and her husband
(05:52):
get an argument. No, she just said, like he wants
her gone. It's going to eventually come to that because
he wants her to put our mother out. But that's
how mother, who's also the nanny. But it's still a
thing of you have to respect your husband because that's
their house.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
They're still not meaning.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
The bulls because what how does your how does her
mom be talking to like how the argument is getting
too the argument because the husband is not gonna gent
with the daughter, probably steps in. The mother probably steps
in and tries to teach him how to parent, like,
tries to tell him how to parent forcefully, you know,
(06:33):
because she may feel like I know this better than you,
I've been doing this better than you, y'all need my help.
She probably want some cocky shit like y'all need my help. Yeah,
especially if our daughter is scared to talk to her
or just nervous, you know. Well, she said scared. She says,
she's both scared and nervous to confront her. She said,
(06:54):
but jes my husband is unhappy. So yeah, he's eventually
going to start taking that out on her. Well, I'm
not gonna say that it's gonna drive a wedgend between them.
He's probably gonna come to her sooner than later and say, listen,
it's me or your mom.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
I can't do this shit.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
We got four kids, and if she got three jobs
and he got four times, one of them had to
stop working and fucking be at home.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
That the only reason why she's living with them though, too.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Then I probably so, probably so that is probably the
only reason why they got four fucking children and four
fucking jobs between them both. That's a lot. Them babies,
Them babies are grandma's babies. Yeah, pretty much, four jobs
between them two. I see why the fucking neglige and
(07:43):
he fucking tied, right, God damn, Hold up, Hold up,
I know this ship getting good. But listen to just
a couple seconds of a commercial. If you love me,
you'll listen.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
What do you think.
Speaker 5 (07:55):
I feel like she needs?
Speaker 2 (07:57):
That's a lot, I said, because that's a lot, y'all.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
But she needs.
Speaker 5 (08:05):
Was she so scared of though, of like how it's
gonna letter.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Yeah, she probably scared of what her mom is gonna say,
or she probably honestly, she's probably scared that her mom
is going to be like, I'm leaving them, you know
what I mean?
Speaker 2 (08:17):
And they really need her.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
So she's like stuck between a rock and a hard
place because she doesn't want her husband unhappy. But yeah,
family counseling, that's what it is, because I'm not I'm
not gonna hold you.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
I'm not about that.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
If that were me, I'm not about to have my
husband unhappy in his own home because he keeps butting
heads with my mom. First of all, I don't want
none of my parents living with me.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
And my mother in law she lives with us, Yeah
she does, but we have enough space where it's like
and then see my mother in law.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
I'm I'm totally blessed. My mother in law. Don't give
me no fucking problem.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
She ain't no ranchit fucking ghetto ass or she don't
be she Chris is not a mama's boy like he
you know what I'm saying, And he loves his mother.
There's nothing wrong with being a mama's boy, but when
you let that spill over into your relationship, that's when
it becomes done.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
When you jump you know what I'm saying. Yeah, she's not.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
No, and his mother is very encouraging, empowering, Like she's
very encouraging, like and empowering to me where she and
she even tells something like no, your wife comes first,
Like it's not nothing's ever happened where she had to
tell him, like to put me before her. But that's
what she always preached. That's just what she lives by. Anyway,
she was a married woman, you know, three times. But
(09:51):
let's neither hear there. That's how the Mexicans get that
girl shit with one husband, don't do the second or.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Third one well, but.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
She always preaches that ship to him, like listen, no,
she preaches them that his wife comes first. It's God
your wife, then your children, and then your parents, then
your you know, siblings, then your your your other family,
(10:20):
but it's your it's God, your immediate family, and then
the extension of the families.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
I wonder they never got I wonder if they got
along excuse me before.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
She moved into though.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
But to complete that thought, what I was saying about
my whole death or real quick, what I was saying
about my parents, I would never want them to move
in me. Well, I can live with my dad, but
my mom is very spoiled. I can't live with me
and my mom the same person.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Because my my grandma she's.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Living with my parents now, but only because she has
the more stable house.
Speaker 5 (11:01):
My grandma she can't walk.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Okay, yeah, so that's different. Yeah, yeah, that's different. That's
like I'm taking care of I have to take care
of my mother. You feel me, so like, that's that's different.
When it comes to if you up and you you
mobile and you walking around. You're getting smart and shit,
and I know you take care of our four kids,
but like you, come on, you gotta let him be
(11:23):
a man.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
You gotta let him be a dad.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
You can, you can be the guardian and you can
raise the kids as you see fit. If you don't
have no problem with it, fine, but you have to. Yeah,
they just have to be. There has to be boundary
set in that household family counseling. If if she can't choose,
because I know that's.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Got to be hard.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
You want to choose, you gotta choose. She doesn't want
to have to choose between her husband and her mom. Yeah, yeah,
because you automatically supposed to choose your husband. I mean,
what do you feel about that? You was really ask
me something.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
I wonder.
Speaker 5 (11:57):
I wonder how if they got along before she moved in. Mmmm, well,
this is just like now more so overbearing.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
It could be stressio, it could be stressed on all
fucking because now I'm thinking about it, right, that's four
kids that mother got to take care of.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
There's four fucking grandkids.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
I don't know what ages, I don't know how old
they are, how young they are whatever, but that's four children.
I'm still not justifying the disrespect or you know, the
butting heads of you know whatever, that the mom is
giving off. I'm not justifying justifying that part of it.
But I'm just saying more than likely she's older. She's
(12:40):
an older woman. Yeah, yes, and she got four kids.
She probably cooked, she probably cleans. If the parents got
four jobs between them, they don't really have time to
do shit else. So the mother is probably cooking and cleaning.
And again, and I'm assuming because she didn't give me
(13:02):
a lot of meat. She gave me enough, but she
didn't give me a lot of meat on the bone.
I'm assuming that, you know what I mean. Everybody's frustrated,
all right. So that's the mom's frustration, all right. The
wife's frustration is no, let's go on it, okay, So
the nannies first, the grandmother frustration all right, the four kids, okay, cooking, cleaning.
(13:25):
On top of that, she's on her she's an older age.
You know, she's set in her ways. You know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
It's a lot.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
I don't know how old or younger the kids are,
like I just said, but maybe they are young.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Let's just assume they're young.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
That's the that's a lot to keep up with four
fucking children, all right, cool? Then you got the dad.
He's exhausted. They work, he works a full time job.
He comes home to four kids and a irritated mother
(13:57):
in law for having four children, having his children all day.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
He don't want to.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Feel that he's probably working, and he don't feel like
coming home to her probably nagging yet. And I got
to come home to you. You're not even my wife nagging.
You my wife mother, who take care of my kids nonetheless,
but you still fucking nagging me. And then not to
mention the wife the stress of her three fucking jobs,
(14:24):
and then dealing with having to play referee.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Between her mom and her fucking husband.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Still having to be present for her daughters, I mean
for our children. I don't know if their daughters or
sons or whatever, but you know, having to be there,
be present and just kind of beat a referee. And
then Shaney really got it all together because she hasn't
even sat down and had a conversation with her mother
yet because she's scared and nervous, but she don't want
her husband upset with her, and that's surely gonna drive
(14:55):
a wedge between them.
Speaker 5 (14:56):
Yeah, it is because you're like, yo, why can't talk
to you?
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Yeah, like put it in her place. If you love me,
you'll listen to this commercial and then we'll be right back.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
And the first thing that he probably would say, which
is evident or his mom would be there, is I
would never let my mother do that ship, you know
what I'm saying. And so, and that's gonna, that's gonna,
that's gonna conjure up some guilt in her and it's
just it's just not good. So either family counseling or
(15:27):
mom gotta go. I've gotta go. And I wonder if
they're paying her, because because we paid my mother in
law for Marlee's one Marlee is one fucking baby and
she's a lot. And she also takes care of my
son too, you know what I mean. So that's you know,
(15:53):
she definitely helps take care of him because Ash is
homeschool now, so she does a lot.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
She cooks, she claims. Now, we all have roles.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Like it ain't like I come home and just climbing
the fucking bed, and like Chris, it ain't like Chris
come home climbing the fucking bed. Like no, we we
all three of us cook clean. Nobody has that will,
you know. But that's that's that's only two kids, and
it's still a lot for me, Chris and my mother
in law. That's four children there for them. So what
(16:24):
if she's not getting paid? I know she probably like,
well what if she met that she's not getting paid
and it's four jobs between them and she ain't getting
no fucking money.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
Yeah, Cause I'm just wondering.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Why if she's scared, she probably scared her mom's gonna
say certain things or like like bring up certain things
like well, well you guys haven't been doing this and thing.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Yeah, she's probably not a what do you call.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
It a good mother? No, she don't like arguments.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
Whether she's not of.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Conversation yeah, yeah, the daughter is probably not confrontational. Yeah,
so that that's my advice. Well what is my What
the fuck is the advice?
Speaker 2 (17:09):
I ain't never giving up family counselor or or.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Whatever circumstanstem Maybe I mean they're got jobs up.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
Yeah, I couldn't say.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
It Probably is easy for her to come to the
house instead of dropping the kids off.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
That is definitely easy. Probably easy, or.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
You know, try to the forgerbt y'all, mate, get a
daycare or you know what.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
They beefing so much.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
They probably also beefing so fucking much because they're in
the house with each other a lot more than the
fucking mom because the mom had I mean, you know,
the wife. The wife has three fucking jobs, so when
the fuck is she ever home? So she really can't
beat a referee. That's probably why when she by the
time she do get home, ship's already in disarray and
(17:54):
they already been arguing all day and shit. Yeah, and
the mom is like, yo, you're negligent, like you or your.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Daughter like you, you know, need to watch her or whatever.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
You know.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
She didn't really expound on just how negligent he is
or what she meant by that.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
But or maybe the.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Or maybe the grandma is seeing stuff with the daughter
and that she thinks that he needs to just talk to.
Speaker 5 (18:21):
Her more or something like that.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
Could be is a teenager and she just feels like
she needs maybe something like that. Maybe, but the bumpt
the bump heads mad heavy. That's very dramatic, So that
means like it's some other shit like this nigga must
be negligent, negligent yeah, like I don't feel like she's older,
(18:45):
though I know you were saying like, well, what if
she's older, like and she's no, I feel like the
mom the grandmother, like a grandmother would really trip a
grandmother in her right mind.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
If the kids are younger and you're negligent with like.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
A baby or like a yeah, like an infant or
a toddler or you know, like somebody still young elementary,
it's gonna sound fucked up.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Then don't say it. What is it because you get
a past, you're pregnant.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
They exactly, it has to pregnancy. They had all these
jobs when they had time to fuck they why have
all them?
Speaker 2 (19:21):
I just feel like, wait a minute.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
I'm just saying and this is coming from a pregnant
woman over here talking about well, first of all, they
married Taylor, so so what you all right?
Speaker 2 (19:35):
So what you're saying, like why they have all the
fucking kids?
Speaker 1 (19:37):
If but they have the right No, no, no, no no,
that was the story. But I'm just saying, like they
got four kids and four jobs in between the boat.
Why she got three, he got four. That's a lot.
It's do what y'all want to do? Like I know,
(19:58):
the since mistakes happened whatever, and you mean, like, but
I'm just saying, after this one that I'm about to have,
I'm going to be and I've been more careful of everything.
Like I'm just saying, I'm it's the obstacles that I'm
gonna have. I'm a face though, like I'm not about
to just.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Keep popping kids out like one after another.
Speaker 5 (20:21):
Yeah boom if I look around after the.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
First one and and everything and going, I wanted to go,
you know what I got you?
Speaker 2 (20:29):
You know, I feel you.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
And then my thing is like I understand the four kids,
but why the fuck do you have three jobs?
Speaker 2 (20:37):
So she has to keep up?
Speaker 3 (20:38):
Like she clearly.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Wondering though, like what's the what's the space two of
like four kids.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
And your mom's living there?
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Is it?
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Or y'all have a big enough house and that's why
y'all gotta be Because I understand four kids definitely is
weighing on the pocket for sure, but that's a job
for each kid. That the four kids ain't the only
thing that they fucking slaving for. Yeah, like that can't
be it, Yeah what I'm saying, So maybe they do
have they're just trying and keep up with their household too.
(21:14):
Then I know some of the listeners are probably like, well,
why he don't have the three jobs?
Speaker 2 (21:18):
I don't. I don't think anybody should have fucking three jobs.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
I mean in America, Like, come on, Like, I wonder
what the jobs are that you get to do, Like what.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Do you get to do outside of work?
Speaker 1 (21:26):
If you have three fucking jobs and you work in
it's only twenty four hours in a day. Kind But
I wonder what job she has because technically, I mean,
you're in a lot of things too, though lose your job.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Yeah, so I.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Know, m that it depends on what the which is
only on weekends and then I do this Monday through Friday.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Yes, that's two jobs, and then I have other.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Oh yeah, yeah job unless she has all three nine
ninety fives or whatever, like that's a lot. But I'm
saying she's like in this the work that we're in
because I have multiple jobs too. Yeah, yeah, I guess,
but each in each and every one of them. You're
not like going to clock in and sit down and
(22:11):
have to put in the hours nine to five, Like
what if it's three nine to fives that she's saying
she got Yeah, not runs her own business. Because if
she runs her own business, she can probably work from home. Yeah,
more than likely. You know, when you do have a business,
you can work from home. Since the pandemic, that's been
like the option of a lot of entrepreneurs.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
So I don't know, but child, just get back to us, like.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Counsel, Yeah, family, talk to your mom, tell her your
feelings towards it.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
And because I feel like.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
She all I'm getting is that she doesn't she's like
that her mom and her husband are fighting.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Yeah, but but.
Speaker 5 (22:51):
And then she also agreed with her mom too.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Though she agrees. She said, like, and he is helg
he is negligent.
Speaker 5 (22:58):
So you also need to talk to your husband.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
I think all three of them should have a fucking meeting.
I don't see.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
That's how shit get misinterpreted, misconstrue Like if she sat
down and have a conversation with my mother and then
go sit down and have a conversation with her husband,
what are the mom and the husband going to talk about? Like, oh,
well she told me, Oh, you ain't say that, well
you talk to me. No, no, no, it can't be
that because then all the caddiness and shiit gonna come
(23:24):
out and it's like nah, and it's like she's gonna
play both sides.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
You can't go to the mom and.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
That like you all of what she doing and you
can't kick it to your husband like he ain't doing
nothing wrong. Like it has to be an open conversation
for transparency, honesty laid out there.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Listen.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Some of the best results come from the most uncomfortable conversations.
Look at what happened to pay a breakfast club period,
you know what I'm saying, and all that, All that
started from a fucking live right, Well, it started from
motherfuckers keeping sh it front me or not doing a
fucking job the way it's supposed to.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Be fucking done.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
But right I went live and boom, and then it
came to work the next day.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
Who the fuck did I think I was?
Speaker 1 (24:09):
But I had all dancy to coming like can you
excuse me?
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Bitch said you ain't like me? And then now look
a big fucking happy faith. We're the best class that
we've ever been class.
