So Fam, when is the right time to talk to ur kids about the birds and the bees?
Jeannie I think there is no particular time to talk about sex with your kids I think you should talk to kids over time on their age level. Basically I think the process is a building process and you should use the actual word and names of the body parts just in case something happen to them the kids can tell someone what occurred and it's understood by anyone.
As soon as they're showing ANY interest AT ALL! That will be a different age for each child.....however,I made it VERY CLEAR from age 2 that their body was THEIR CHOICE. I never made my kids hug anyone-even family. If THEY wanted the hug offered,ok. But I was never that Mama who said..."Go hug Uncle Fred or Aunt Sally wants a hug,go hug her back". If they felt uncomfortable-I respected their body,their choice!
Your Mama gut will ALWAYS tell you Jeannie. Just never try to explain that gut feeling away...trust it and believe in it!! 💜💜
As soon as they understand words😄 I think it shouldn't be this bombshell but rather a gradual process over the years. I don't get why people have 'the talk', why not have 'the on going conversation'?
This sounds like my Hispanic family lol!!!
12 years old 🤷🏾♀️
Jeannie is a great example of why people should only have kids when they’re ready. She’ll be a great mom
Word!🙌🏾
Yeaaa 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Well said!
Phenomenal mother I was on the verge of tears of happiness for her & I’m glad she changed her mind because she used to not want any
💯 percent! 😊 I’m not worried about Monaco Mai Jenkins
“I’m teenage when I pregnant. I didn’t know anything” powerful words from Mama Mai. My mother was a teenager when she had me too. I had to forgive her for a lot of things especially when I became a mom.
💯🤍
Exactly! My mom had me at 19. I forgave her also.
Exactly, Jeannie is going to learn.. hopefully. I'm not optimistic because she's so immature but I still hold out hope 4 her.
You can forgive your parent and still process through the pain of their inadequacy… they are not mutually exclusive.
Becoming a parent made me realize how critical I had been of my mother and shed light on how many obstacles she had to overcome and sacrifices she made having 5 kids.
I love how Jeanie's Sex conversation isn't about having sex, the penis & vagina, but it's about teaching touching safety, consent, how to say no, how to set boundaries, and how to go to a safe adult for help.
Love this I’m definitely doing this 😊💛
Mine went to getting tested as well.
“The most important thing for Monaco to learn is-“ mama mai: Vietnamese language
😂 I love it
😂😂😂😂 so funny! I loved it.
😁😆
😂
Definitely revisit the video after a few years and grade yourself on “how you expected to parent” vs “ the reality of parenting Monaco”
Hello! I said that I would NEVER do such and such, but then when those kids gets older, you loose all sense of being a "perfect" parent. 😒
Loved to see it
It's Jeannie talking like Momma Mai for me😂😂😂
I love this episode. Always funny to see the differences in parenting and generational thinking 😂
For real!
cant wait for another video after a year or two... there's no parent so perfect as an expectant mama with no children yet! 😉 ❤️
Consent talks should start as soon as a kid has language. It’s their choice if they want to hug a relative hello or wave. If they don’t want to be tickled, they have the right to say “stop” and the tickling stops immediately.
Bodily autonomy is step one of consent, and we often unintentionally indoctrinate children very early that they DON’T deserve it. “Oh, just let your great-aunt kiss you. It’s disrespectful to say no.” Things like that. NOPE. Respect is shown in many ways, but providing unwanted access to your body is never one of them.
I LOVE how accepting Mama Mai is of "the G. A. Y." 😂❤️❤️❤️❤️
Starting your own family is a chance to break those cycles and instil healthier dynamics in your own children.
Jeannie you are so correct about parents forcing kids to eat huge meals and then blaming it on starving kids in Africa… the whole meal won’t be the size of your fist tho but instead for example you portion of rice will be the size of your fist and the portion of meat will be the size of your fist… the stomach will stretch to accommodate
Yep. She's probably thinking of an EMPTY stomach!! 🤣🤣🤦♀️ fair mistake to make.
Maybe give them double the portion of the stomach and if she don't want any more, than good! If she wants more! Excellent!
Yes, and if I eat/don’t eat the food, doesn’t mean the kid in Africa will get it. How does it impact the kid in Africa?
@@fakeaccount704 Exactly 😂
Er. No. 😂 Your WHOLE stomach (in its original state) is the size of your own fist/hand! We stretch it with over eating over YEARS. We can train it down and shrink it again to fist sized, and learn to listen to it gut hunger signals. That's what Jeannie was talking about 😁👍
Jenny your mom did the best that she could with the choices that she had. You will do the same. Being a grandmother is another stage, it allows you to see the errors you made and how it will affect the next generation if not corrected.
Nah that’s something an abusive mother would say “ I did the best I could “ nah you didn’t.
@@leftthatbehind6090 and how exactly do you know what kind of a parent this person was? Just talk about your own parenting experience will ya?! Your comment was so RUDE!
@@randomsthingsandstuff9285 Everyone is entitled to their opinions.
This convo is soooo necessary to heal generational trauma and the f'd up ish we absorbed or experienced in our families. Parenthood- for me - has been grace grace grace and then more grace - thanks Jeannie for sharing!
One thing for CERTAIN, mama Mai is gonna make sure Monaco speaks fluent Vietnamese... LMBO 😂
“the most important thing Monaco will have to learn is…”
“VIETNAMESE!!!”
love it Mama Mai ❤️❤️❤️❤️🤣🤣❤️❤️
Jeannie : I spend a lot of time and money in counseling
Mama Mai: *Smiling and nodding*
😂😂😂
The love between a Mama and her daughter is unlike any other....just as is the love with sons. I have one of each and I am EXTREMELY CLOSE with them both..I can tell you I made mistakes that I would change today,but every mistake was lead by LOVE and doing what I felt was the right thing at the time....but through it all,the adults I got out of raising them,makes me very proud,so those mistakes were forgiven and they realize it truly was "When you know better,you do better". Mama Mai knows better now,and I believe will be the "Mama" as a Grandma that you always needed Jeannie. Just as Monaco will forgive your mistakes,bc she will know they were done out of love,and you'll be a better Grandma than Mama....however,you're going to be one hell of a Mama to that beautiful baby--I have NO doubt.
This episode will change lives....and the blessings that'll come from that-has LOVE at the core of them all.
Much Love to you both.
💛🤗💛
We live and we learn for sure. Still learning as I go!
That's love all she do is Dogg her
@ymarrero23 🙏🙏
Love Mama Mai she has the BEST intentions with a HUGE HEART! 💜
Yessss!
Jeannie needs to give her Mama more grace. We all start parenting thinking we will be better than our own parents. Sometimes, we end up exactly like them. Life is so interesting.
The part about never lying to kids, I'm with Mama Mai 😆 We'll see!
A parent is only human. You live and you learn. Overall, you raised a great strong smart daughter-Momma Mai-Great job MOM.
"I love Jeannie's accountability to do better with each generation as they didn't have all the right tool's and proper information back then vs. Now when it comes to parenting...HOWEVER; I would love to get Jeannie's view on parenting from her dad's perspective, I feel like sometimes too much fault is on mama Mai vs. including the dad and holding him accountable too on ways he could have done better and what changes need to be made too by him as he enters parenting as a grandfather."
I think at that time the dad was seen more as the provider, as where the women held it down at the household and took the responsibly of raising the kids.
@@firethoughts5193 "Yeah I understand... but woman were working too then and taking care of the home...I just hate it's so much pressure on women when it comes to how well your child is cared for or turns out to be...that's all." 😊
I agree! It’s starting to make me uncomfortable a little. I have no clue what Jeannie went through and of course we only see her mom on social media but it’s like how many videos do we need of her telling how many mistakes she made? And there is no way she’s never going to lie to her child…come on Jeanie lol! 😂
@@fine_art_wr Yes love...feeling the same. I love them both though.
No generation will ever be perfect parents. No generation will ever have " all the right tools". It is a forever learning process. The same grace we need to have with our parents our children will need to have with us.
Mama Mai looks like she’s so proud of you. Rebuilding your relationship, such goals.
Absolutely love this!!! Jeannie thank you for always being so transparent and open with us. This was an amazing episode!! You are an amazing mom I know it!!
Yay!! Heyyyy Jeannie !💚
Hey jeannie
Aw Dekedria!! Thank you ❤️
Your Mother is too cute, she got me really laughing!🤣🤣🤣
Now the parents rich lol 😂 she does have a point but loved this video Jeanie is right with so much though and was so respectful ❤️
All I can Say is that I'm so glad she became a mommy. She's got so much love and wisdom to give, Monaco is blessed❤️
I taught my daughters and son about consent as early as 2. As a woman who has been through very traumatic sexual abuse as a very young child, I feel it is very important to educate your children as soon as they can start talking and have the understanding of what someone can do or say with them and their body. especially with young girls.
Hi, hope all is well. I am a victim as well, I’m truly sorry it happened to you. I’m a 22 year old woman and was wondering if you have any tips on how you recovered, healed, and cope? It would be greatly appreciated. Sometimes I feel like my life is over and there’s nothing to live for.
Thanks you as well. I will say it never gets easy and you will never fully recover or cope but it dose get easier with time .. I just take everyday one day at a time and keep moving forward. I do account a lot of my easy days to my three beautiful children whom show me unconditional love and show me there not all bad in the world. I hope things get better for you and stand with you to show courage and strength to not let the horrible past to define you . You can make it your life will get easier and times will get happier.
@@amp7853 I recovered by not pretending it happened. For the longest time, I acted as nothing had happened. One night I allow the events to play in my head. Then I wrote it down then I would say it out loud. I stood in front of the mirror and said what happened, over & over again.
I often felt dirty & ugly. But I had to remind myself that I was a child. It wasn’t my fault. It is NEVER your fault.
Remind yourself how special you are. Tell yourself you’re beautiful. Do the little things that make you happy. A pet. Creating a routine.
But writing my feeling is what happened me continue 🤍 I know the journey is challenging, but I believe in you 🤍 We all do ❤️
I’m so sorry you went through that. I’m glad your children will have a more empowered experience growing up. It’s especially important more sons are also taught consent so that they don’t violate anyone else.
@@CamilaSaurus exactly I tell my son all the time no matter what is going on you never touch another person without their permission period and if alcohol is involved you say no to be sure she is consensual and not just inebriated.. to many young men being falsely accused is a scary thing too.
Makes me so happy baby Monaco will be taught what consent is and how to speak up if feeling uncomfortable. That talk would've changed my entire life. I am so excited for your and Jay's parenthood journey together ☺❤ and omg school didn't teach me anything important about sex either, what a mess 🙄
Definitely. Such important topics I wish my younger self was taught as well!
unfortunately it wouldn't have changed mine bc they still would've sent conflicting messages. for example, if we had had that talk and then i said no to something, they would've forced me still, and if something happened to me they would've said "well we taught you that" even if they didn't let me practice. i think after something did happen to me, the only reason they didn't blame me was bc they realized what they did by never teaching me. so to me, it's important to not only preach those messages but also exercise your right to say no and to let your kids do the same 💗.
😂😂😂😂😂”your parents are rich, I buy you what we you like” 😂😂😂 I fricken love it. So cute… made my day. Thank you!
I MISSED THESE EPISODES SOOOOO MUCHHH!!!!!😩😩 GLAD TO SEE BOTH OF YOU BACK! ☺
Motherhood fits her so much
This is an important topic. Our parents parented based on the knowledge they had at the time. We have been exposed to a lot more information and should use that to do better and be better.
I love that I’m a “G-A-Y!” 😂😂
Jeannie Mai Jenkins will be an awesome Mom 😍😍
Jeannie that is an island thing. My mom use to tell me, “There’s people in Africa who is starving”. But I love my mama the way you do yours
I think many parents used that line. I'm European and heard it as a child.
@My_name_is_Poetry M It's just a traumatizing statement that gets a quick result.
I think Monaco and Mama Mai will have a very close relationship
Jeanie: We should always tell Monaco the truth.
Mama Mai: Not always. Why?
Jeanie: Its the right thing to do.
Mama Mai: But l lie good.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.
Your mum needs a show all by herself. 🤣🤣🤣 l really cannot 🙈. She's so sweet though.
Jeannie you’re not thinking too far. I’m so grateful my mom believed “if you’re old enough to ask you’re old enough to know the TRUTH.” But what she failed to express was when a man tries to pressure you or dating, etc. you are doing it right Jeannie.
I love these videos because they are so honest. Mama Mai comes from a generation of parents that didn’t speak much about anything, a spanking and that was it. My parents too made many mistakes but now as an adult with my own children, you learn what not to do. It’s all a learning process. But one thing for sure your going to be an amazing mother. And mama Mai and the rest of the family will all be wonderful. God bless you all.😘🌻👏
Managing our way mothers always love to love us were good she’s the best cook ever ever
Jeannie just remember that you are who you are because of mama Mai so don't think you know more than her when she raised you. I feel like mama Mai doesn't get the credit she deserves and I've watched your videos where she talks about her horrific upbringing so if she was able to raise you up right, she must know something. Instead of wanting to unlearn her parenting, maybe learn to hold onto the good parts from it and add your own wisdom to it. It's similar to how kids always think that they know more than adults until they become an adult themselves and then they see it for themselves and learn that the adults were right all along lol. But kids swear their lil friends know more lol. Good luck and very happy to see you transition into this exciting new phase as a mom! I'm sure you will do a great job but cut your mom some slack cuz she actually can give you some pointers if you would give her a chance. The irony is that you both seem a bit stubborn but you swear it's just her lol.
🎯
💯 She will never truly know until she becomes a mother. Now she has that chance to incorporate her own parenting and learn the struggles her mother had to go through. My Vietnamese mother was very toxic growing up. Recently, she caught me scolding my son about something and told me to not do that. She told me there are many things she regretted doing to us when we were young and she didn’t know any better and didn’t want us repeating those same mistakes. It really touched me to know she was aware of her shortcomings as a young mother and helped me understand that we are imperfect human beings regardless of how much better we think we’ll be than our parents. All we can do is appreciate their effort and try to do better without thinking we are better. Stay humble. ✌️
That part
I agree.
People have all sorts of ideas on how they’ll raise their child …once the child gets here its different from what you thought. I understand why Mama Mai says you’re thinking so far ahead. It’s a constant learning experience, plans go out the damn window.
I don't even have kids yet and this is what I was thinking too😂
I have a 16 year old and I said all types of things beforehand… ultimately you don’t know what you’re talking about until you have a child and even after that you still don’t know🤣🤣🤣
@@blackswan3000 this is very true, but also, as a parent, I know that there are somethings that are important to me with regards my children and no matter how many curve balls life throws or how much we wing it and just take each day as it comes, these pre planned ideas and thoughts and notions serve as some form of parenting anchor.
You can decide to never lie to your child for example, as Jeannie mentioned.
Reality and real life and stuff happening doesn’t need to change that decision.
It’s a very independent stance.
Same with teaching consent and boundaries…
same with teaching kindness and respect…
Yes you learn everyday, and things will change, but your parenting pillars (so to speak) remain.
@@Nkem_O Keep living!
Hilarious and adorable! The hair, the glasses, the old school innocence. Mom loves Jeannie so much 💓 😭🤗🥰 Mom could do stand up lololololol
Hi beautiful ladies!!! We have to remember that our parents are humans. Humans make mistakes. I give my parents a bit of grace because they did the best they could with the knowledge they had. When you know better you do better.
That’s exactly how I feel! They are humans! Grace and forgives should be extended. Also, I feel like if they gave us food, clothes, an education and protection they did their best.
You guys just made me smile and I needed it today. Thank you. The dynamic you have with your mom is special Jeannie💕
Momma Mai can do no wrong in my eyes. 💞😍🥰😘
I am not under the illusion that I know how you were raised or what your family has gone through but it seems to me that Mama Mai deserves more credit than what she gets. She seems to be a passionate, loving person with a huge heart and great sense of humor. I Just don’t understand why she gets put down for the choices she has made. No one is perfect. We were all young and made mistakes at some point. What is important is that you learn from them. It’s seems that Jeannie is trying to “break the cycle” but I also think Mama Mai was young and inexperienced and did the best she could. Mama Mai will be a wonderful grandmother, you can already see the love that she has for the baby 😊 Let’s lift each other up and appreciate our moms and the sacrifices they made for us.
Yes, but she didn’t do the right thing with regard to teaching Jeannie about consent, and didn’t believe Jeannie when she told her what happened to her as a child. This is why she gets a lot of flak, because her choices really impacted Jeannie. Her temper also really impacted Jeannie. What’s important now though is that everyone is trying to do and be better
Well said!
I think you should go watch their old video. There's a lot of trauma in this family and Jeanie experienced a lot of pain. I am proud of Jeannie for being strong enough to work through that trauma and still show up wanting to work on her relationship with her mom. Also love how Mama Mai is listening to the different perspectives openly now.
I loved this so much ( mom 32 of a 13 yr old daughter & 10 yr old son ) , well we can see Jeannie that we all have a lot more in common than we think! It’s a lot I look back on how my mama & I were , the way you were raised the good & bad is why u are the way you are today and that goes for all of us and now u see and want to do things differently but that old skool way will still always be essential 🤍 much love y’all !
Literally laughing out loud! 😂 You and your mom's relationship reminds me of mine and my mother's relationship... Open and honest and trying to do better for the next generation. ❤️💕
This is a great episode and I have a lot of take home. Mama Mai is really funny but also happy it owns are mistakes and grew above them. Thank you Mama and Jeannie. ❤️
I love this Jeannie! Continue breaking generational traumas + sharing it with us!
I can’t wait to learn more about how you are parenting & your journey when the time comes.
Lmao listen Mama Mai Has me so weak. She said “ the more you talk, the more no action “ lmao that’s so funny to me!!
love love love mama mai , she deserves appreciation she has done great job for her experience and background. love when she say learn Vietnamese first 🤣
Your friend the GEE AYE WHY! 😂😂😂😂 that was hilarious! I love mama mai.
Absolutely love this!! 💖💖💖 Love the transparency. Especially of how it is important to teach your children at the age of 3 about boundaries and sex. But sharing and connecting with everyone of the lessons/teachings/raising so that all will do the same is so absolutely good and yet difficult because you can’t control what they’ll end up doing around your child. Also, Growing up I’ve learned about all the bad things that could happen and didn’t learn of how to protect myself, what to say and that it help is there to help and not judge or brush you off. When my kids grew up I shared and was transparent as I could be and whatever I learned I tried to share it with them.
Jeanie's whole demeanor and energy is positive.You can literally feel it.I want to embody that.
paul: "why 'we'll see'?"
mama mai: "i lie good, they don't know"
lol 🤣🤣🤣
Mama Mai is hilarious😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
It is very impressive that she is open to criticism, it is not the most comfortable position to be in as a parent
Love you guys 🦋
Jeannie I love you as a human being and even more as a mother now. I am 23 years old and another of a 4 year old and I am learning as I go and trying to unlearn my mother’s ways to be better for my baby while also trying to learn who I am! Thank you for these videos they really help me get through this journey of life!
Jeannie you're so right never put a lot of food on a child's plate and making them eat all of it .
Lol 😆 thanks for putting out content that’s real and relatable!!! I love the fact that you are using the things you learned from therapy to help you have a better relationship with your mom. God bless you and your family!!!!
Jeannie you were born to be a mother!!! Youre mommy wisdom is amazing!!! Im so proud of you
Absolutely loved this episode. Its so important to have these conversations. Thanks Jeannie and Mama Mai for always being so open and honest about your life experiences. Its so weird how our parents generation did the same kind of things the world over and now we are a new generation trying to parent the best way we can, the world over. We see your intentions Jeannie and we love Mama Mai's detours too. ❤❤❤
Jeannie I love these videos with your mom you have gave me courage from since the first time you posted with Mama Mai on how to be more forgiving and understanding with my mom. I held on for years so much pain of my childhood trauma, but we are working through it and I want to be better for the next generations to come. You have proven over and over that although they may have come from a different time and we are trying to like you said unlearn those toxic generational traumas and we don't have to run from them forever, but teach them the new ways and hope that will try to understand us.
So much Love for You Jeannie & Mamma Mai. It's an important topic that must be thought from an early age. ❤🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🇿🇦
One thing I've learned that if your child asks a question ALWAYS tell them the TRUTH.. and make sure you tell them they can trust you guys with any problem they may have.. my mom taught me that.. I'm glad she did
Sometimes they're too young or sensitive for the whole truth so it should be age appropriate.
Great video! I can so relate with you both, and I'm sure my mom could too.
We miss you Jeannie! Looking forward to seeing you again, it's been a couple of months since Monaco was born. Hoping you're doing well and wishing you good health!
So so so relatable. Enjoying and learning so much from the open conversations you guys have! Been here since the early days of mai fam 💫 Thanks for sharing and keeping it real. Sending love from Singapore!
Your mom is on another level but you cant help but love her. she always means well.. 💖🙏🏽
I love love love Mama Mai, she is the coolest, down to earth lady I would love to meet!! She is innocent and so darn funny, gotta love her!!!
I just love mama Mai She’s one of the kind and the best… she a special lady a loving mom and now Gramma how sweet is that
As a teacher, we are told to never make promises or lie to students.
As a parent I can see the temptation to lie (usually to avoid tantrums) but with my kids I'm honest and we work through their feelings about it after.
Mama Mai is keeping it real lol
When your baby gets older she's going to look back on these videos cry, smile, laugh and love that she can get to know and love and grow her grandma and see how things were back then you know 2000 to present.
Love Mama Mai and how she is unapologetically herself, yet open to learn.
🤣 I am on mama Mai's side "We'll see."
I wish they would go back to teaching this to kids though. When I was in elementary school we learned the “uh oh” feeling. We went in depth about personal boundaries, knowing where it’s okay to be touched and where it’s not okay. Also, knowing nothing is your fault and you should always tell an adult you trust!
Go Jeannie. This mama agrees with you 100%. Good on you for having the courage to have this convo with mama Mai now rather than later
I love the conversations and the way you chose to open up to you mom and that is part of healing and speaking of past issues with the intentions on helping mom do better. Keep doing it with love and be okay that she will make mistakes but hope to see that change and not her just saying okay then doing things the same. Your mom is open to receive and is willing to learn from you so it would be good to let mom know what you are doing when you do it so that she learns as well, then there can be no excuses because she heard it and saw the way you are with your own child. I also love your mom because she is honest and I do believe that she didn’t know how to be at times and did what she heard rather than follow her mind to do raise you in a way that she would remember what was good for you, she thought like most people in the world that was being taught the same things when it comes to living except we were played against each other and that would cause fear in us to be a certain way with people. Who we talk to and who we don’t talk to was all someone else’s thoughts and feelings and they saw for saw that it was good for them and not us who are the majority. We believe the people who played with our minds and are stuck today. It will not matter what we teach our children is the world is not in alignment because once our children leave home we have to idea what their day will be like and how they will be when they come home. Some kids are will to share all, some share half and others share very little in any case we have to watch our children, walk into their room sit on the bed and ask a few questions about what they are doing or watching on television or what kind of day the had this is how you get to know your kids cause their words will be the same or change and when their is change it is a clue for you to pay attention because they may speak about it. When I say speak about they may share something good and you can tell cause they are excited or perhaps something happened in school and the teacher or someone made your child upset and they feel bad because maybe the reacted and wasn’t expecting to get yelled at or in trouble so the don’t tell the whole story. I want to know because I want to here the same thing from the teacher we know or should know when I child is a trouble maker or gets bullied. If you don’t pay attention your child then it will be hard to know when they are telling the truth and you will be fighting for them for the wrong reasons. I know my children because what they did at school they did at home, none of them were bullies but did get bullied a few times but they reacted because the teacher didn’t listen when the told them that someone was bothering them but then on the other hand your kid is bigger than the other kids, got a darker hue than the other kids and is called out for having the same behavior as others but he was only defending self and I am not saying it was a good way to be in the moment and had that talk with them as well and I want to be clear that he wasn’t alone in this and he didn’t start it. I was able to be me and speak my truth and was respected for that and I respected the teachers as well because they say they didn’t see the other kid the only saw mine which I didn’t believe but said okay to the teacher just to keep peace and it worked out and as a mom even though my kids heard my talk to the teacher and was kinder on his or her side because she did catch him and he was supposed to come home and tell be but I get it when you have class clowns in the room it can be hard to follow the teacher when others are trying to get your attention with spit balls or balled up paper tossing them across the room at/or others when the teacher’s back is turned. Sometimes it is difficult to to right and have all the right answers or ways to be a parent but one thing I do know is that the way I was with my kids was a good thing and it worked with it was good or bad because I know them and how they lived at home.
Thank you and well done Jeannie for talking about all this important issues that can avoid so many bumps down the road
I have a very emotionally distant relationship with my mum, she is there physically but never was emotionally. I’m pregnant with my first child and
I decided to get therapy and I’m so glad I did! I’ve learned through the ways my mother raised me it caused me trauma and it impacts me more then I ever could of known. So hopefully through some hard work i will be able to work through these issues and not repeat it with my child!
Okaaayyy… Mama Mai reminds me of My East African mama!! 🤣I seriously LOVE her! She’s such a G!
You guys have helped my momma and I’s relationship so much! ♥️ sending so much ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I love u both so much❤️ you guys are so transparent and I love that you both are so honest about how u feel that’s important that parents and children can speak their truths and say I’m sorry and move on and help each generation get better!❤️
I love mama Mai, she’s so real. It seems she did a way better job than her parents( father) did with her. She means well and loves y’all so much!! You can see she’s trying to see a newer better perspective and understands. Love that about her
I loveeeed this Jeannie wow I’m so proud of you, you are just growing like a rose keep pushing yourself love! ❤️ love you love this may God bless you guys!!
Wow, Jeannie Mai really touched on a lot of really important topics that I completely relate to 🦋💎
Mama on 💯. Some things you can hope to be and work on being but the practical will be something else. You can think you will teach portion control and get a kid that loves food. Gobbles it down and cries when you take it away. Then when they get old, they will be like how you are to Mama Mai and say you always took food away even though they wanted more. The point is kids will challenge your being and you will not automically respond how you hope or they will not always be like you were. All the best. Pray, keep trying but no matter what you do, your kids will always have sh*t to say about how you didn't do as they hoped. Usually it's because you think you are helping , protecting them or trying to control a situation/behaviour.
Mama Mai is a hoot!!!! I really loved this conversation.
Great video Jeannie, I love that you think ahead in the future. Having a goal for the future allows you to prepare your present actions to reach that goal!!
I think she is so correct at having a vision of how she wants to parent! I think that's absolutely spot on!
And I think that probably all mothers do that (at least the good ones!) And thinking ahead how they want to tackle some more challenging aspects/topics/behaviour!
By having her clear vision she'll know how and WHEN to implement it! No point trying to teach the kid AFTER the fact!! After maybe a pattern was set!
Mama Mai thought Jeannie was thinking way ahead! And when she kept saying let the teacher teach her I was laughing!😂😂 Great video Monaco is blessed and lucky to have u as a mother Jeannie!💞💞💞💞
The background music is impeccable! This conversation was hilarious 😂🤣
I would love an episode on how you and Jeezy find parenting! How do you guys split up responsibilities, etc?
Ugh I love this it shows how much Jenni has grown 😍
I am so thankfull that you realness will continue in this youtube channel after the show ends.
Jeannie is the best. She is teaching me so much. I'm 37 and have 2 kids 😊 also, my mom is like her mom and it's so hard to have patience but seeing how Jeannie is teaches me a lot
I love how mama Mai thinks school will teach you everything 🤣 this was cute and wholesome ♥️
I absolutely love your videos. Love your momma as well she is super funny. May God bless you and your family always.
Man! I love y'all! Mama Mai is my baby...love u 2 Jeanie❤❤
Same with my grandmother, she'll give me more food and insist I eat all. I'll always sit next to the trash just so I can throw the food away without her knowing. She'll tell me ,,"if you eat all your food I'll give coca cola" 😂😂
