      Because he made the choice to repeatedly publicize his private life on social media. Nobody asks Rickey to see this, so if wants to tell everyone to stay their ass at home and then bring his grandchild to a public beach, then he should be prepared for the calling out of his hypocrisy.

    Ricky you didn’t talk to him in a ya ya boo boo tone and that’s PERFECTLY OK. Even though he’s 3years old he still needs to know that you’re serious and a serious tone never hurt ANYONE! Also he’s a boy and the ya ya boo boo mess at his age isn’t necessary. You are raising a boy to be a MAN!! Thank GOD!!! He appears to be well mannered and DEFINITELY well taken care of. I’m a grandmother raising my grandson and I use and stern tone also to get my point across and it works!!! Live YOUR life and continue raising your grandson/children because there are tons of grandparents that need to take on the responsibility and Don’t/won’t. It’s not easy. It takes much Prayer/Patience. Grandparents needs support not constant criticism but that’s just the nature of many people. God Bless you and Family🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Now he's on here cursing today that's not a good look. Yes he helps others I give him that and he's trying to raise someone's son 👋. Some of the things he says & does are out of pocket, he needs to read or not read the comments and keep it moving. Not throwing shade either I like Rickey but enough is enough.

      @@denisetaylor9247 He made it my business when he put it on social media for me to see and hear. Rickey is talking about the children (men and women) he raised so I wanted to know.

      Sonya Hodges exactly! I could care less about this person. He’s not amusing. However, he did put the garbage up here.

    Mr. Smiley. For what it's worth, I think you are WONDERFUL with your grandson. And as I've asked some of the women in my family this question, "what do a woman know about "fathering" a child, especially a male child? She should pour out what God gave her. Me and my siblings knew our father...he and our mother divorced so there was no real presence IN our home day to day and I oftentimes wonder what it would've been like if he was there...women need to stay outta that part...I agree with what you shared at three Grayson should have three year old responsibilities...continue what you're doing sir...May God continue to Bless you!
