      @mamacito1795 you and I both! Over the last 5 or so years, I have undergone a form of awakening almost, that's helped me form a filter and calm down a lil, lol. But in prior years, it has always been my nature to throw hands with people like Barb😅🤣 I have finally realized that you just can't fight everybody that pisses you off😅 Not to mention that it is childish and just so not worth your freedom. I'm still learning the whole process of using honey instead of vinegar🤣 It's a lengthy learning process for sure.

      No, she was gentle FRIENDED. She was NOT treated like a child. Deedee is NOT that annoying "Gentle Parenting adults" TH-camr who looks down on other people and is SO INCREDIBLY AWFUL.
      Deedee didn't need to "gentle parent." She just treated Barb like an adult, who was clearly suffering from some form of pain, and she healed that pain for her. She was a FRIEND in need and a friend indeed.
      Please don't conflate "gentle parenting" and that.

    • @Minnehotness
      @Minnehotness 9 วันที่ผ่านมา +14

      @AuntLoopy123 gentle patenting doesn't have to be awful or self-righteous. The way DeeDee talked to Barb is the way actual gentle parenting looks, but I do agree that she also extended herself as a friend to Barb. We could all use a DeeDee in our lives to keep us grounded and accountable while cheering on the good.

    I love this empathetic look into Barb’s behavior. As much as it’s unacceptable, underneath all the entitlement is a mom who’s feeling lonely and missing a time where her little babies needed her. If I knew her I’d definitely keep low or no contact, but it’s nice to have a reminder that she’s not evil. She’s just a sad person who doesn’t know how to reach out in a healthy way

    • @Jessamineann
      @Jessamineann 11 วันที่ผ่านมา +14

      This video made me wonder if maybe women who didn’t feel comfortable relaxing and silly and spontaneous with their kids (cookies at bedtime, letting them stay up late at holidays) when they were little maybe think that they CAN with grandkids. And when they get pushback from their kids about it (because if they NEVER did it, they may not know that there’s and time and place for it and holidays are not it) they feel resentful that they squashed all the fun out of parenting believing it would pay dividends when their kids were grown, and that never materialized in the way they expected.
      Especially if they themselves were raised in an “elders know best” way and never felt comfortable pushing back against their own parents’ boundary-stepping… they were raised to believe that exchange was normal, but they’re when their kids won’t conform to that “normal,” they feel the (unacknowledged) resentment of getting the bitter end of that generational dynamic.

    • @ShawnatheMom
      @ShawnatheMom  9 วันที่ผ่านมา +34

      Yes, you’ve nailed it. Great insight. Barb is not evil, she’s deeply injured. Sadly our unexamined hurt drives our behavior so when Barb feels she flails and damages the very ones she wants to be close to. It’s a cycle and will continue without real, conscious accountability.

      It made me cry too and laugh cry on some parts. It was a whole mix of emotions in less than 10 minutes. Greg made me cry about the state of politics and the world, the game made me cry laughing, and DeeDee and Barb's conversation followed by how Barb had prepared for the kids made me happy cry. The holidays are hard and always an emotional mess for me, but I think I felt almost the whole range here.

    I loved this one. I loved how DeeDee managed to make Barb feel seen and appreciated so that she stopped being toxic for ten minutes!!!!! Absolutely brilliant!

    This literally made me tear up - the compassion that DeeDee has for Barb is amazing, and she can really see through the wall she put there 🥺

    Seriously refreshing to watch. I kept waiting for drama, some harsh words, a fight but nothing. Weird how anticipating a clash ramped up anxiety but when it was a good ending a sense of relief and calm. I wonder if others had that reaction.

    I'm so glad Delores and barb talked, I just feel theres so many years of unspoken resentment and feeling unseen that it's turned her into a bit if a monster. I want a barb redemption arc...

    This was great. Greg is amazing, Deedee's out here really getting to the heart of things. And it turns out Frank exists. Maybe he only comes out during holidays/when there's lots of food. 😅 Seeing all the different characters really shows how different they all are and the talent going into this.

    This really helps you understand that Barb can change for the better, she's just stubborn at changing on certain aspects of herself. She does want to be seen, but she forces it and manipulates the people around her to get what she wants, only granting herself the opposite outcome she wanted.

  • @alinapritchett9276
    @alinapritchett9276 11 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

    I LOVED THIS! Deedee is an excellent emotionally regulated parent. Many Barbs and non-barbs need a good parental figure to chat with us through difficult emotions and transitions in adulthood. Deedee had nothing at risk, no personal needs from Barb so she could stay cool and in mom/therapist/friend mode. Barb really needed to feel heard enough to give an ounce of flexibility. I’m so glad this had the ending I was hoping for. I’m filled with warm fuzzies, and grateful to know that people can be good. ❤️ ❤️

    Oh my goodness this sounds like an amazing Thanksgiving! You know, I stopped paying for streaming services a few years ago and started paying for TH-cam premium for content like yours and I will never go back so long as wholesome, authentic content like this keeps flowing! I hope your Thanksgiving was great and that your holidays are amazing.

    Aw, that was nice. I'm alone this year so this was like sitting in the corner with a nicely dysfunctional vaguely familiar family. Now I really want a lemon drop and a piece of apple tart.
    Plus my mom's name was Delores so I had Thanksgiving with my mom this year. Thank you.

    LOVE this!!!! DeeDee is fully immune to sharp tounges cuz she can see through to the person whos trying to be hurtful and why. Also the longer form content/ episode is awesome!!! Thank you for all the work you did on this video. I'm sure doing longer videos would take more work and time.

    @Evelyn-te1nk 13 วันที่ผ่านมา +5

    Not gonna lie, I think it's nice to see the many perspectives when it comes to the topic of being a mother. I did enjoy the perspective of the feeling of "I feel lonely and unappreciated so I'm gonna try to force everyone around me to appreciate me but that is having the opposite effect more and more." Cause sadly this is true sometimes.

    It’s a Thanksgiving Miracle! Hooray for DeeDee’s EQ, and for the way she curated so many “everybody wins” opportunities, and brought out Barb’s ability to receive appreciation and be a little less “barbed”. Shawna, you’re a great writer and actor and I love the brilliance of your storytelling and how entertaining it is to learn while watching your videos. I’m always happy when another one of your shorts pops up on my feed. Thank you so much for all of it.

  • @valeryhasselbrink5171
    @valeryhasselbrink5171 11 วันที่ผ่านมา +2

    Barb setting up expectations that didn’t pan out in life, and being angry at everyone else for it is truly relatable. And people getting upset over Shawna’s innocent words, is also highly relatable, that’s my entire life.

    @joykinser3444 12 วันที่ผ่านมา +3

    Shawna, i am thankful for you this year! You are by far one of my favorite creators. Even your vacation vlog and keeping your kids private, all the different shorts about relatable mom topics and especially this series,!!! This series keeps me coming back for more! I am sooo invested in these characters! Amd more full length videos of them woild be amazing! But ill take whatever we get and be happy with it. You're a phenomenal actress, i really feel like im watching multiple different people when i watch this series and the way you can cry on que is amazing! Thank you for the year of entertainment! Hope you and your family get everything you deserve in the upcoming year!

    It's like you knew exactly what I was hoping for Barb; for her to be understood. I always thought it seemed like she was hurting in some way, and I always wanted someone to pick up on it, the way DeeDee did. 😊❤ I cried hard, and am really thankful for this video. And, the fact that Barb blacked out the room for the baby... 🥺 She remembers what Shawna said about it. That speaks volumes to me. 💯💖😭

  • @sumomo2236

    This is so sweet and wholesome, Barb is capable of change! DeeDee is a miracle worker! Also Frank! He came out of left field for me, I had no clue! He looks like a shell of a man, the way he immediately went to read to the grandkids when there was a conflict tells me everything I need to know.
