Hey friends. I promise to respond to every comment, I’ve just been an emotional wreck but your comments are landing and they mean so much to me and Alwande ❤️❤️
So emotional. I grew up without a father and I feel that my mom did the best with me. My dad went on to marry and have kids and my half sisters came to find me after his passing. They always tell me that I was better off, that I missed nothing from not having a father. I"ve learned that sometimes it's God shielding us from things that could potentially damage us in a long run. Alwande is enough and she's growing into a wonderful human being and her not having a father might just be the best thing for her...God's bigger picture for her life❤️❤️❤️ love this mommy daughter relationship. You're doing so well Mandy
Thanks so much for this comment Noko and thanks for sharing your story. And you’re right, we always think rejection is bad but sometimes it really is God protecting us from things we don’t need
I love how this was a mutually expressive conversation and you weren't lecturing her . This is literally the perfect example of a ''millennial mom''. You're doing an amazing job and you're a great mom.
Love your relationship with your daughter, you are such a great mother who is breaking the stereotype of having your child be fearful towards you. Such open and honest communication with one another. God bless❤️
Alwande is such a great and beautiful girl! She's not afraid to express herself, she has so much respect, she loves so hard I see that by just how she doesn't want to see her mom hurt or anything of that sort, the hugs,the affirmation. She has a great personality,thinks things through and goes over her emotions and the best part is that she doesn't accept defeat! You have done a great job in raising her 👏 I have just started watching this channel yesterday and I am glued!! If only these men knew what "damage" they're causing in our lives and the lives of their children, but hey it is what it is. Thinking of my two fatherless children I just got so emotional throughout, we really need to have these conversations with our children bc they need to be able to feel free to let us know how certain situations make them feel and so forth. Thankyou for this,truly inspired ♥️
Aww baby 🥺🥺, Alwande you are such an amazing girl! Please know that you are not alone, a lot of us grew up this very same way, without our fathers but I want you to know that our lives have come full circle without them. You are a great person, beautiful, intelligent and I love how self aware you are! You will have a great life, with your mom’s support you are going to smash your goals, and you will be successful! To mom, I love this conversation you are having with Alwande, it’s so important that we do this. Also keep affirming Alwande, it may seem like it’s not working right now but there comes a time when you reach your young adulthood and everything starts to make so much sense, it literally dawns on you and all these words you are saying now will play in her head and will have more meaning than they ever did before! 🌺🌺
"I just imagine me walking down that isle, you by my side..." and I wept. Please, I enjoyed this so much. You're doing a great job raising her mommy. 💚💙
Oh watching this in bed with breakfast made by my nephews and by the way am new here but Alwande's character is so much like my nephews,I became teary and emotional looking at this 😢
I am not a parent yet, but i am taking notes on how to be intentionally present for my kids the way you continuously are Mandy ❤. You are raising such strong beautiful girls and the best part is that they don''t always HAVE to be strong. Vulnerability, honesty and FEELING the ups and downs of life aren't such a bad thing and that is something a lot of us are only learning this now in our 20s. Incredibly inspirational 🌻🌻
This was such a wonderful video! I will definitely do this with my children. After my bio children were adults, I adopted my grandson when my middle daughter passed away then 6 months later I adopted my 2 great neices. Seven months after we finalized the girls adoption my husband passed away so now I'm a single parent of 3 emotionally scarred children. I think this exercise will help tear down some walls and build some trust.
Alwandwe you are enough Angel, and someone not wanting to be apart of your life says a lot about them - unkind people do that, and trust me you are not missing out on anything. Good Job Mom❤️
4 mins in... already crying 😅😢 This was a lovely video, to get to see and hear Alwande speak she’s a lovely girl and it’s great that you’re having these conversations with her so when she’s ready to start dating she can be comfortable with coming to you... My little girl is 4 years old and I am learning a lot from your channel already. Thank you mommy 😻
This video triggered a lot of emotions that time I was not even half-watching the video. IN my 23 years of existence I've never used the word ''' DAD/BABA''. At first, I felt like Lwande, Speaking about him made me cry ALOT but when I saw how my mother worked hard to get me everything I wanted and needed. I stopped doubting gods plan. Lwande will grow to be a stronger person because of this situation. Trust and believe.
I’m so sorry you’ve had to grow up without a father Iviwe. Adults can do so much damage but I’m glad you’ve come out stronger. Thank you for your lovely comment ❤️❤️❤️
Just bumped into your channel and I've had a lump on my throat since cause of holding back tears. I'm so sorry for all that you've went through, I'm actually at a loss for words. Watching Alwande now I'm just so amazed, she's so mature, understanding, empathetic and respectful. You're doing an amazing job and may God give you strength and be with you and your babies ♥
Halfway in and I'm already thinking this is so beautiful. So vulnerable. This video needs to be on TV. We need to show positive and healthy mother and daughter relationships like this, especially for us South Africans. Well done mommy for doing such a great job raising such a wonderful young person❤
Not me crying before I even started watching 😭😭 your content it's so relateble and it's something that most people go through..I love the relationship you had with Alwande it's beautiful..it's hit home when Alwande said she feels like she's not enough 💔💔💔 can't wait to have this conversation with my son 💔😥
Hei mom Just watched this vlog at this time and am so happy and this made me wanna be a better parent to my son Since his father is absent and his a disable child So I have to face all that alone But don't regret having him am grateful And to Alwande gal you growing each and everyday and am so proud of you cc Much love to you and your family 😍😍😍😍
Hey I just discovered your Channel yesterday and Wow..I am a young Single Mom to a beautiful 7 month Old.I still cannot recover from what her Father and his Family did.Rejecting her and not even checking up on her,after I had suffered in a R.Ship with her Father due to his infedilities,Abuse and his absence.She is growing up but each day I'm Scared that 'that Conversation ' will come soon about her Father and the Family.I really want to protect her from the Truth but I will have to tell her everything so to see such a Channel in a Way it prepares me and makes me stronger.I love you,may God be with you and your Family.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️Its not everyday you see such because we are programmed to think that Single Mothers are are left overs,they couldn't keep a man etc.....So ke a leboga Mme...THIS Really INSPIRED ME❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Oh Mandy 🥺🥺.I was balling my eyes out this entire video, coming from a single mom myself, I wish I could have had such open conversations but ke mina my mom never showed emotions and being a single mom myself to a 3 year old I am taking notes . You are doing amazing ❤
The fact that i literally can relate on every level is crazy. Im older now, i have a baby, her dad is also absent and still no relationship with my mom. I feel so alone in this world at times but i just try to block out those feelings and just try and be a better mom to my daughter.
I cried so much when you guys were talking about Alwande's absent father . Her not feeling enough just hurt me to the core . She shouldn't have to feel like that! No one should.
Your response to “What makes you happy”👌🏾 I share the same sentiments because money gives you freedom to do all the other things that make you happy also... it’s truly hard to parent when you don’t have money, most parents would do better if money wasn’t an issue, I think.
Alwande “I mean it’s me” 🤣🤣 I love this lil girl 🥰 I wish I could protect her and stay this bubbly forever. Amanda I really donno how I came across this channel and all I can say I love you ❤️ I’m only subscribed to 2 SA TH-camrs and you happened to be 1 of em. Keep shining mama 🙏🏽
Never in my 23 years of life have I ever had a relationship with my "father" 😢I once longed for it to a point where I learnt to live with the fact that it is what it is😊 A simple happy birthday message,how's school going?, Would have gone a long way🙏I'm just grateful for my mom's life coz wow I'm doing just great I live by "I will do it without him,my success is definitely not on him"❤️ LOVE AND LIGHT to you baeb,I know what going through💕🕯️
As a daughter of a single mother I felt so emotional watching this video. I don't have such conversation with my mother but I will truly implement this if I have kids! Xo ❤️🔥
Yho I've cried this much in my life your daughter made me dig deeper as I still feel this way because of my father. Thank you so much for helping me understand my mom as a single parent. On a lighter note I've gotten my mom to be your fan..... Thank you so much my love.
Just came here to comment was watchin on tv. This has actually motivated me to get more vulnerable with my daughter. Shes in the double digits now will be a teen in the next few years so thank u for this
You know I am watching this and I am thinking to myself, if only absent parents knew what kind of damage they were causing in their kids' lives and hearts. Because this honestly is one of the matters of the heart!! Alwandle, you are such a charming, well spoken young lady and I can tell you are also a very respectful kid. Unfortunately we can say all the words to try soothe the pain of his wrongdoings. But I know that one day and I pray it is soon, you are going to heal and we get to see your full confident self. You are amazing ⚘️ ♥️ Mommy. I am truly inspired by your courage. May God continue to carry you from strength to strength. You speaking your truth is going to heal you, your kids and overall everyone who stops by to watch this video. You are doing a great job 👏 👍 🙏♥️
I like that Alwande has a father figure kubab'wakho. The way she explains her happiest and best childhood memories being with your dad teaching her how to drive and how to play soccer. I love that. I personally don't have a relationship with my biological dad. I have fond memories of my stepdad who passed on when I was in my 1st year in varsity. That man loved me and I can say he filled that void of a dad.
What a bright young lady you have in a daughter!!! I love her thought processes. Her appreciation of you, and all you’v done and been to her. You are raising an amazing human being. Well done and I pray that all will be well, even with the ups/downs…. God is our provider and protector.
Ooh I cried there as well with Alwande when she feels she is not enough because of her deadbeat father, yhooo our kids go through a lot marn bebancane 😢 😢 Alwande is so matured yhooo, very opinionated and confident, I love her. Very interesting video, You are such a great parent .
This was so hard for me to watch....i was tearing up throughout. Alwande shouldn't have to go through this. Alwande I pray that God feels up the void you have with His love. Your earthly father may not want you but God is your heavenly Father and he cares for you deeply. You are ENOUGH. You are fearfully and wonderfully made. I pray that Alwande's dad sees the error of his ways and does right by you some day. Millennium Mom, you are doing great. I pray that God co tinues to give you the strength and wisdom to continue steering the souls He has entrusted you with in the right direction.
You are an Amazing mom. I just had to subscribe! I like the fact that you are so real and not faking things . This is the kind of content that we want . I wish you all the best . Keep on doing good for yourself & your kids . You making me smile 😊 May God bless you mama❤
You are a good mom, doing a hard job being a single parent but watching your daughter articulate her feelings so well and open with you says much about how safe you make her feel.
I know I might be speaking from a point of privilage as I had the most loving dad till the end and later in life had a child with a great human being under the circumstances that our relationship didn't last but can't take that away from baby daddy. But I must say you have raised a wonderful young woman mommy who have the loving family in you and your family 💕
I feel like I was just watching my 13 year old and myself, how can we have so much in common. Your daughter is so much like my baby girl they would get on so well. You guys are just beautiful 😍😍😍
I loved this. The questions 🙆🏾♀️🙆🏾♀️ you both answered them so well. What a wholesome conversation 👏🏾🙏🏾 Mandy, I’m the same with my TV. I want my brain to just rest!
Hey Mandy, I started watching your videos last year so I thought I should just watch your older videos. This one made me so emotional and I regret doing that.😢😢😢
These conversations are valid & I can relate to them ..We also have like an absent father with my sister & we have never had an honest conversation with how we feel & i love how uLwande is able to open up with you Mumy ..You are doing an awesome job ..Cant wait to have these with my Son one day
You are both so beautiful and your youngest. Please break the cycle sex should never be casual it’s effects are generational. God put His order in place to protect us, especially women. It can be challenging to wait in God and trust Him for His best but it’s worth it.
Oh Alwande dear you are more then enough for your mum,sister,family and even us. I can’t speak for everyone but one thing I can say is I get so excited to see you on each and every vlog. As much as we love your mum’s content, she’s amazing and you just bring a nice youthful touch to it. I really love seeing your smile,seeing you play with your baby sister and seeing you laugh it just makes my day. I say things as an older sister you are most definitely enough not for your biological family but also for your new family which is us. Trust me girl you more loved and appreciated then you can ever think ❤ To Alwande’s mummy you are such an amazing mother I always look at how you listen to your children, connect with them and always be there for them even when you not okay that’s pure strength right there ❤you guys are really amazing and I just love seeing you guys so happy and despite all the challenges you may face you know how to wear a smile on your face and create all this lovely content you a wonder, never forget that ❤❤❤
🥺🥺🥺❤️❤️❤️ shout out to Babazi. This was so emotional 😢 😭. I also think you are funny as hell😂. Ugh I love the honesty and vulnerability from both of yoll.
I literally came upon your channel this morning and I'm loving your content, it's so real and emotional and vulnerable. I believe it's relatable to a lot of us (I don't have kids but I've had to take on a lot of responsibility with my siblings). Anyway just saying I love your content please do continue
I am trying so hard not to use hateful or distasteful language to call or describe Alwande’s dad, lest Alwande reads this comment… But I hope her dad can watch this video and I hope something inside him moves for this baby girl. You are phenomenal baby girl ❤️❤️❤️❤️
This answer of absent fathers neh is breaking my heart ❤️ cos that’s how I fell about my father 🥺🥺 I’m 30sumthing and it hurts that are dad’s dnt value us yooo sending hugs 🤗 and kisses 😘
I started watching your videos today and I'm already in love with your channel❤... I really love your bond with Alwande😊Its not everyday that you see a parent and child being open to each other.. The transparency between you guys is just beautiful❤.. May God continue helping you and blessing you😊❤... To Alwande: Always remember that God will always be your father❤
I also experienced abandonment, I actually don’t like Father’s Day as well. Unfortunately, it’s a wound that will be there forever you just need to navigate around it and attend therapy. The rejection issue and abandonment also contributed so much to my behaviour. Being more masculine and being the independent woman behaviour and not fully trusting man that genuinely want to love me and support me. Mommy, please make sure she attends therapy when she hits 20. There’s a lot that will need to be unpacked. (Talking from my personal experience).
❤️❤️❤️❤️more single parents need to have this conversations with their children ...I will have to seat down with my child some day to have the same conversation 💟
I enjoyed this soo much ❤️❤️❤️ you are truly the Millennial Mom because in my time I wasn't allowed to have such conversations with my mother so big ups to you guurl ❤️❤️❤️
This video got me feeling so many things. I like how you are having these raw conversations with your girl. Bless both of you. The awareness heals a lot.
Yoh not me crying at the “feel like I’m not enough” I’m so sorry that she has to go through such and you as a Mother always having to reassure her. You’re doing a great a job Mommy
You're an amazing mom Mama 🥺🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤ May God bless you and your daughter it was such a beautiful conversation May your daughter always be such an amazing woman 🥺🥺
I just found your channel I want to say you are doing a great job mommy, I know is hard sometimes, and sometimes you might not know what you doing but girl you got it... love love you😍😍😍😍
Not me getting emotional with Alwande. Nxe that deadbeat doesn't deserve her. She's such a lovely young lady. And she's absolutely more than enough. I'm glad you keep reiterating it. ❤Well done to you mama. Especially on having such difficult conversations and that she doesn't bottle it up imudle eyedwa. 🤗. She's articulate and well spoken. I love how she's able to process her thought and communicate how she feels.
Coming across this relatable video was overwhelming. I'm new here yes but it felt like I've been here forever. I felt the pain 😪 in Alwande about her father's absence. Babe u are an amazing child& know that the people ❤ that are around you now God has put them there for a SOLID reason& for those that chosed not to be there..they were just not meant to be part of your upbringing beautiful ANGEL.Babazi ❤ was meant to care for u,love u,instilling those remarkable precious memories u have and he did more than being a FATHER figure.He loved u genuinely. Your Mom was set to be everything to you guys because she can big ups to you Mom
Alwandes statement"I'm not enough" just threw me off. Oh my god, not me crying like that. Thank you so much for sharing mama. You r doing a great job raising those queen's. Alwande is really a blessing, such a smart girl. So impressed 😍😍. Wish ya'll nothing but all of the very best. May the good Lord grant you the strength to continue being the greatest mama that u r. Never ever doubt urself. Love u always 💕💕💕

Ncxoooo mommy I just discovered your channel and I've just got yourself a new subbie💃😊 I'm loving and enjoying your content...keep doing the great job May the good Lord continue giving you strength and
I've been catching up on your videos and with every video, you mentioned the number of followers you have thought I should let you know you are on 20k!!!
Hey friends. I promise to respond to every comment, I’ve just been an emotional wreck but your comments are landing and they mean so much to me and Alwande ❤️❤️
I love you both ❤️❤️
Mina I need to speak to u plz nje angikhoright😭
So emotional. I grew up without a father and I feel that my mom did the best with me. My dad went on to marry and have kids and my half sisters came to find me after his passing. They always tell me that I was better off, that I missed nothing from not having a father. I"ve learned that sometimes it's God shielding us from things that could potentially damage us in a long run. Alwande is enough and she's growing into a wonderful human being and her not having a father might just be the best thing for her...God's bigger picture for her life❤️❤️❤️ love this mommy daughter relationship. You're doing so well Mandy
Thanks so much for this comment Noko and thanks for sharing your story. And you’re right, we always think rejection is bad but sometimes it really is God protecting us from things we don’t need
True indeed
So true I have a half brother I stay with our dad I would tell him the same thing🥴
I love how you explained to Alwande that her father's absence has nothing to do with her, "you can't dislike someone you don't know" ❤️
Every women should be this close to there daughters I’ve learnt a lot.much love from Kenya 🇰🇪
Hie
I'm 16 and I feel Alwande's pain...but at least our mothers are trying you know❤🩹❤
I love how this was a mutually expressive conversation and you weren't lecturing her . This is literally the perfect example of a ''millennial mom''. You're doing an amazing job and you're a great mom.
Thank you so much Samantha 🥺
Yoh! She’s doing such a great job! ♥️
Love your relationship with your daughter, you are such a great mother who is breaking the stereotype of having your child be fearful towards you. Such open and honest communication with one another. God bless❤️
Thank you beautiful ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Every girl deserves a mom like you.🥺
She's definitely a mom girl!♥️
Alwande is such a great and beautiful girl! She's not afraid to express herself, she has so much respect, she loves so hard I see that by just how she doesn't want to see her mom hurt or anything of that sort, the hugs,the affirmation. She has a great personality,thinks things through and goes over her emotions and the best part is that she doesn't accept defeat! You have done a great job in raising her 👏

Never in my 23 years of life have I ever had a relationship with my "father" 😢I once longed for it to a point where I learnt to live with the fact that it is what it is😊
A simple happy birthday message,how's school going?, Would have gone a long way🙏I'm just grateful for my mom's life coz wow I'm doing just great
I live by "I will do it without him,my success is definitely not on him"❤️

Oh babe, thank you so much

Oh mama you make this parenting look so easy...also a single Mom of 2 ...kunzima shame😍
Kunzima mama but sizothini ❤️❤️
I like that Alwande has a father figure kubab'wakho. The way she explains her happiest and best childhood memories being with your dad teaching her how to drive and how to play soccer. I love that. I personally don't have a relationship with my biological dad. I have fond memories of my stepdad who passed on when I was in my 1st year in varsity. That man loved me and I can say he filled that void of a dad.
What a bright young lady you have in a daughter!!! I love her thought processes. Her appreciation of you, and all you’v done and been to her. You are raising an amazing human being. Well done and I pray that all will be well, even with the ups/downs…. God is our provider and protector.
Ooh I cried there as well with Alwande when she feels she is not enough because of her deadbeat father, yhooo our kids go through a lot marn bebancane 😢 😢
Alwande is so matured yhooo, very opinionated and confident, I love her. Very interesting video, You are such a great parent .
your baby is so wise at her age ! you're indeed doing a good job raising her
This was so hard for me to watch....i was tearing up throughout. Alwande shouldn't have to go through this. Alwande I pray that God feels up the void you have with His love. Your earthly father may not want you but God is your heavenly Father and he cares for you deeply. You are ENOUGH. You are fearfully and wonderfully made. I pray that Alwande's dad sees the error of his ways and does right by you some day. Millennium Mom, you are doing great. I pray that God co tinues to give you the strength and wisdom to continue steering the souls He has entrusted you with in the right direction.
Im here for this content 🥹🥹🥹🥹I love this Video ...We are on the road to 5K subbies ayiboh Mum you are doing great 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻
Such a beautiful mature respectable daughter..you are doin a great job
The “am not enough “ statement y am I crying Sending love to alwande ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
You are an Amazing mom. I just had to subscribe! I like the fact that you are so real and not faking things . This is the kind of content that we want . I wish you all the best . Keep on doing good for yourself & your kids . You making me smile 😊 May God bless you mama❤
You are a good mom, doing a hard job being a single parent but watching your daughter articulate her feelings so well and open with you says much about how safe you make her feel.
“Milani is a trouble maker also” 😂😂😂 Your relationship with your daughter is so beautiful…
I know I might be speaking from a point of privilage as I had the most loving dad till the end and later in life had a child with a great human being under the circumstances that our relationship didn't last but can't take that away from baby daddy. But I must say you have raised a wonderful young woman mommy who have the loving family in you and your family 💕
“I mean it’s me” I LOVE Alwandes main character energy 😂🤍
This channel has grown so much. Well done Mandy ❤️
Thank you baby
I feel like I was just watching my 13 year old and myself, how can we have so much in common. Your daughter is so much like my baby girl they would get on so well. You guys are just beautiful 😍😍😍
I loved this. The questions 🙆🏾♀️🙆🏾♀️ you both answered them so well. What a wholesome conversation 👏🏾🙏🏾 Mandy, I’m the same with my TV. I want my brain to just rest!
Thank you mommy ❤
You're doing well Moma♥️♥️♥️ May God continue to supply you with all the tools you need to raise your two beautiful angels.
Your an amazing mother and you are doing good. Your daughter is amazing n very wise 😘😘😘😘
My son is also growing without a father and by watching this I feel motivated on how I will tackle this conversation when its time. Thank you mommy🙏.
This was beautiful Mandy. I hope you're always a safe space for each other ❤
Thanks so much mama ❤️❤️
Hey Mandy, I started watching your videos last year so I thought I should just watch your older videos. This one made me so emotional and I regret doing that.😢😢😢
I love your daughter❤️ she’s such an amazing young lady full of love🥰😍 And your relationship🥺🥰😍May God bless you guys.
These conversations are valid & I can relate to them ..We also have like an absent father with my sister & we have never had an honest conversation with how we feel & i love how uLwande is able to open up with you Mumy ..You are doing an awesome job ..Cant wait to have these with my Son one day
Totally agree I understand her feelings cause I still battle with those feeling towards my father but I've never had such conversations with my mother
@@bekz3 Im so sorry my love ❤️🥹
You are both so beautiful and your youngest. Please break the cycle sex should never be casual it’s effects are generational. God put His order in place to protect us, especially women. It can be challenging to wait in God and trust Him for His best but it’s worth it.
Oh Alwande dear you are more then enough for your mum,sister,family and even us. I can’t speak for everyone but one thing I can say is I get so excited to see you on each and every vlog. As much as we love your mum’s content, she’s amazing and you just bring a nice youthful touch to it. I really love seeing your smile,seeing you play with your baby sister and seeing you laugh it just makes my day. I say things as an older sister you are most definitely enough not for your biological family but also for your new family which is us. Trust me girl you more loved and appreciated then you can ever think ❤
To Alwande’s mummy you are such an amazing mother I always look at how you listen to your children, connect with them and always be there for them even when you not okay that’s pure strength right there ❤you guys are really amazing and I just love seeing you guys so happy and despite all the challenges you may face you know how to wear a smile on your face and create all this lovely content you a wonder, never forget that ❤❤❤
Love this mother and daughter relationship ❤
Thank you mommy ❤️❤️
The honesty here will always bring me back to your channel.Continue being an amazing parent🥰New subbby.
🥺🥺🥺❤️❤️❤️ shout out to Babazi. This was so emotional 😢 😭. I also think you are funny as hell😂. Ugh I love the honesty and vulnerability from both of yoll.
I literally came upon your channel this morning and I'm loving your content, it's so real and emotional and vulnerable. I believe it's relatable to a lot of us (I don't have kids but I've had to take on a lot of responsibility with my siblings). Anyway just saying I love your content please do continue
I am trying so hard not to use hateful or distasteful language to call or describe Alwande’s dad, lest Alwande reads this comment…
But I hope her dad can watch this video and I hope something inside him moves for this baby girl. You are phenomenal baby girl ❤️❤️❤️❤️
This answer of absent fathers neh is breaking my heart ❤️ cos that’s how I fell about my father 🥺🥺 I’m 30sumthing and it hurts that are dad’s dnt value us yooo sending hugs 🤗 and kisses 😘
I started watching your videos today and I'm already in love with your channel❤... I really love your bond with Alwande😊Its not everyday that you see a parent and child being open to each other.. The transparency between you guys is just beautiful❤.. May God continue helping you and blessing you😊❤... To Alwande: Always remember that God will always be your father❤
I also experienced abandonment, I actually don’t like Father’s Day as well. Unfortunately, it’s a wound that will be there forever you just need to navigate around it and attend therapy. The rejection issue and abandonment also contributed so much to my behaviour. Being more masculine and being the independent woman behaviour and not fully trusting man that genuinely want to love me and support me.
Mommy, please make sure she attends therapy when she hits 20. There’s a lot that will need to be unpacked. (Talking from my personal experience).
I was once a Alwanda and I wish my mom would talk to me like you do with your daughter
I wish I had such a relationship with my mother. This is beautiful 😢💘
5K Subbies Ncaaa emtaneni wooow ..You are honestly an inspiration to us small youtubers & To all the mothers out there yooo ❤️🥹
❤️❤️❤️❤️more single parents need to have this conversations with their children ...I will have to seat down with my child some day to have the same conversation 💟
I enjoyed this soo much ❤️❤️❤️ you are truly the Millennial Mom because in my time I wasn't allowed to have such conversations with my mother so big ups to you guurl ❤️❤️❤️
❤️❤️
She'll grow into her grown body! Patience boo.
Thanks for this video…New subscriber. Love from 🇰🇪
If God should take me before I speak to Milani, I need you to tell her........ had me in tears. God keep you Amanda and your beautiful daughter.
This video got me feeling so many things. I like how you are having these raw conversations with your girl. Bless both of you. The awareness heals a lot.
Such conversations are needed. Thanks for been so vulnerable with us.
Yoh not me crying at the “feel like I’m not enough” I’m so sorry that she has to go through such and you as a Mother always having to reassure her. You’re doing a great a job Mommy
You're an amazing mom Mama 🥺🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤
May God bless you and your daughter it was such a beautiful conversation May your daughter always be such an amazing woman 🥺🥺
I just found your channel
I want to say you are doing a great job mommy, I know is hard sometimes, and sometimes you might not know what you doing but girl you got it... love love you😍😍😍😍
Not me getting emotional with Alwande. Nxe that deadbeat doesn't deserve her. She's such a lovely young lady. And she's absolutely more than enough. I'm glad you keep reiterating it. ❤Well done to you mama. Especially on having such difficult conversations and that she doesn't bottle it up imudle eyedwa. 🤗. She's articulate and well spoken. I love how she's able to process her thought and communicate how she feels.
God bless all grandfathers😭😭. They are such a god sent in this time of absent fathers.
Coming across this relatable video was overwhelming. I'm new here yes but it felt like I've been here forever. I felt the pain 😪 in Alwande about her father's absence. Babe u are an amazing child& know that the people ❤ that are around you now God has put them there for a SOLID reason& for those that chosed not to be there..they were just not meant to be part of your upbringing beautiful ANGEL.Babazi ❤ was meant to care for u,love u,instilling those remarkable precious memories u have and he did more than being a FATHER figure.He loved u genuinely. Your Mom was set to be everything to you guys because she can big ups to you Mom
Not Alwande saying mom wakes me up early, only to find out that her early is actually 12 pm😂!
what an emotional video.
#Sending hugs#
She doesnt know early this one 😂. We were woken up at 7am and spring cleaning every Saturday.
Alwandes statement"I'm not enough" just threw me off. Oh my god, not me crying like that. Thank you so much for sharing mama. You r doing a great job raising those queen's. Alwande is really a blessing, such a smart girl. So impressed 😍😍. Wish ya'll nothing but all of the very best. May the good Lord grant you the strength to continue being the greatest mama that u r. Never ever doubt urself. Love u always 💕💕💕
