5
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 1: of Carefully Reckless. But your girl just hilarious. Get shitt

6
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 1: it's story time. Okay. So one of my ex friends,

7
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:32,559
Speaker 1: she has a daughter. Right now. I went to the

8
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 1: little girl's birthday party. It's cool, everything's nice. A bunch

9
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 1: of kids, okay. She was turning three years old. All right, cool,

10
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:42,520
Speaker 1: I see you. I pick her up. I'm like, hey, baby,

11
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 1: what's going on? What's going on now? Usually at three

12
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 1: years old, you can construct sentences. Every kid learns at

13
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 1: their own pace. I do know that every child is different,

14
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 1: every girl is different, every little boy is different. Even

15
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: when you have two babies, the first child may not

16
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 1: experience with the second child experience or whatever. Right, So

17
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 1: I picked the baby up. I'm talking to her. I said,

18
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 1: you look pretty today. She said nah. So I said, no,

19
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: say thank you. She said that right now. I put

20
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 1: it down. I said, your hair looks pretty. Did mommy

21
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: do your hair? She said dah. Like you can tell

22
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,960
Speaker 1: from her gesture. She wanted to talk, she wanted she

23
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,400
Speaker 1: understood everything I was saying. She just couldn't respond. Now

24
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: she's three again. I go to her mother. I pull

25
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: it to the side. I said, yo, um, did you

26
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: you notice that baby girl don't talk? And she like, yeah,

27
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 1: she's stubborn. So I said no, no, no, no no no.

28
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: She was just happy, you know, to talk to me.

29
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 1: You know, now, babies love me, kids love me. If

30
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 1: y'all are avid watchers of jest, hilarious, and y'all know

31
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: my mother runs a preschool, you know, all the kids

32
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: love me. I have like a bond with kids that

33
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: is very unique. It's different. It's not like a Gui

34
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: Gui Gucci, but it's like on some it's different with me.

35
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 1: I'm like the major pain. What the kids loved me

36
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: for some reason. All kids love me. So I'm like

37
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 1: baby Carol Canto. So she's stopping and I said no,

38
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 1: she wasn't being stopborn with me like she was cool.

39
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 1: I was asking our questions and I could tell that

40
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,799
Speaker 1: she wanted to say yes and thank you and all that,

41
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 1: but she couldn't. You know, she three years. Oh, I

42
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 1: ain't seeing it in in a while, but she three she

43
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 1: should be saying something. She said, girl, she already she

44
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,679
Speaker 1: talking the house. I said, all right, cool, come time

45
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 1: to cut the cake. Then the opening gifts happy birthday

46
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 1: to you, Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday too, baby girl,

47
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 1: Happy birthday to you, and many more. And after I

48
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 1: hit the and many more, she tried to repeat me,

49
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: and she said, uh like she she couldn't. She just

50
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 1: couldn't put a word together. It was just coming out

51
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 1: it sounds. So I pulled them over to the side again.

52
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 1: I said, look, yo, see like she tried to repeat

53
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: what I said, but she just couldn't put the letters together.

54
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 1: The to do it, she said, jess, my daughter good,

55
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 1: she good, Yo, she good. She just made she hand

56
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:09,239
Speaker 1: on that today giving me all the young typical mother

57
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: excuses of Waigian child is not cooperating the day she

58
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: didn't have a nap. She hungry. Oh she don't even

59
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: know what's going on. Oh she I pulled her had

60
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 1: too tight when I put our ballis on. Baby girl,

61
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:22,839
Speaker 1: your daughter can't talk. This is what I'm telling you.

62
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: So fast forward a couple of months later, she brings

63
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,239
Speaker 1: the baby over my house. Now Ashton loved kids as well,

64
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 1: and kids love Ashton so he take a playing with

65
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: a Now we have a dog. I got a little

66
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: French bulldog. At this point, he was still a baby.

67
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: So you know, when puppies are little, they see other kids,

68
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: they like to get happy, they get excited. She got afraid,

69
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: she got scared. She screamed to the top of her lungs.

70
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: And I said, what's wrong? What's wrong? And I said,

71
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: is it the dog? Say dog? Dog? She was like,

72
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 1: uh uh, like yo, it was just bothering the funk

73
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 1: out of me that I knew you that this baby

74
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: had a developmental disorder. You know, it was something going on.

75
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: She wants to talk. There is something not right. She

76
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: needs speech classes right now. It was just me and

77
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: her mother. We wasn't in the party setting. We was

78
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 1: in my kitchen. I said, look, that baby needs speech classes.

79
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: Have you ever She said, look, we're not doing this today.

80
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: I said, no, we're gonna do this. This is for

81
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 1: your baby. She's like, it's just nothing wrong with my

82
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: Child's nothing wrong my child. She got upset, she took

83
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,280
Speaker 1: her baby, she left. I haven't seen the baby since,

84
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: haven't seen her, haven't talked to her. But this is

85
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,479
Speaker 1: the thing. What she said to me stuck out in

86
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: the back of my mind. She said, it's nothing wrong

87
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 1: with my child. I'm not ready being burst like you're

88
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: not about to try to sit and emburst me about

89
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: my child like every kid learned that they owned page

90
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 1: just because she's not doing what Ash was doing at three. Now,

91
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: first of all, I never brought my child into it.

92
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: I never brought my child into this. I'm noticing something

93
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,479
Speaker 1: about your child, who I love dearly, just that she

94
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,599
Speaker 1: was mine. Don't do that. I'm your friend, if we're friends,

95
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: I pulled to be able to tell you and pull

96
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: you to the side instead of going to talk about

97
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 1: your ass through out other friends or or or telling

98
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 1: somebody else your business. You know, I'm coming to you

99
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,160
Speaker 1: from mother to mother. There is something wrong with your child.

100
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,720
Speaker 1: That's it. So with that, band said, I haven't spoken

101
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 1: to it, which brings me to the carefully reckless discussion. Now,

102
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 1: as a parent, it is your duty, your everlasting duty,

103
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 1: to guarantee your child protection. You are supposed to protect,

104
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: provide love. You are a safe place for your child.

105
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. But protect is first and

106
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,720
Speaker 1: foremost whether you're a dad or mom, and that that's

107
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 1: not only protecting from bullying, protecting from I mean, I'm

108
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,719
Speaker 1: supposed to protect you period, you know what I'm saying,

109
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 1: protect them from everything. I'm supposed to nourish, take care

110
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: of you, further educate you. You know I'm supposed to

111
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: do that. If you're not a teacher, you're the smartest

112
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,279
Speaker 1: parent already cool, but you can teach your child. That's

113
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,479
Speaker 1: you teach a child without even knowing you're teaching. A

114
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 1: parent is a child's first teacher, before they even discover

115
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: what child care is, before they even discover what a

116
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,359
Speaker 1: daycare is, before they even hit preschool, before they go

117
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 1: to elementary school. You are their first teacher. So just

118
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 1: know that every birth thing mother is a teacher, not

119
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: coming and adopting mothers. I have to put that out

120
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: there because everything is so fucking sensitive. But as a mother,

121
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,479
Speaker 1: the first thing I thought when I gave him birth

122
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 1: my son was damn, this is a whole another life.

123
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 1: And the psycho repeats itself. You have to protect your child,

124
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 1: and my opinion, my ex friend was not protecting her child.

125
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: You're worried about the embarrassment that you're going to face,

126
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 1: versus the embarrassment that she's going to face when she

127
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 1: grow up. Why wouldn't you try to get it under

128
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 1: wraps right now? The baby was three when this happened up.

129
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: But the baby she got another birthday coming up, she'll

130
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: before and and I I hope that you know, if

131
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 1: she is listening to this, that she did get help

132
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 1: or this drives her to do it. There are so

133
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 1: many instances, um and so many cases that I see

134
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 1: where parents are too proud, too proud to even admit

135
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 1: that their child has an issue, whether it be a

136
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 1: d h D, whether it is you know, a deformity,

137
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: a physical deformity of some sort, whether it's dyslexia, whether

138
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 1: your child stutters badly, whether Tourette syndrome, whatever. You can't

139
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 1: worry so much about yourself that you forget the livelihood

140
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 1: of your child. You forget that they have to grow

141
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: up and be you as well. And when I say

142
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: you an adult, a mother, a father, you can't do that.

143
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 1: Now you're now dictating their life at this point, and

144
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 1: you're not thinking of them as an individual. You're thinking

145
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: about yourself. Hold up, Hold up, I noticed ship getting good.

146
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 1: But listen to just a couple of seconds of a commercial.

147
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 1: If you love me you'll listen. We have to give

148
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: up the eyes and the means and the mines when

149
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: we give birth. As mothers, you know, we have to

150
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 1: give that up. You gotta give up on yourself sometimes

151
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: to be there for your children. That's one of the

152
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 1: hardest jobs is being a mother, let alone a single mother.

153
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 1: I give all the power to y'all, all the kudos

154
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 1: to y'all, But being a mother period is a job,

155
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 1: not saying being a dad is not. So I'm gonna

156
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 1: say parents now. Speaking in terms of my friend being

157
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 1: a mother, I know it's hard. Every time I opened

158
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: up my mouth about the baby's speech, it put a

159
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: dapper on her day. She was upset, she was pissed.

160
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 1: She felt like I was coming at her baby. I'm

161
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 1: not coming at you. Imagine who the funk gonna come

162
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: at this baby when she grow up and she can't talk.

163
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 1: Protect your child from that ship. You can protect her

164
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 1: from all this ship right now. Take her as to

165
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 1: Kennedy Krieger. Go get her an evaluation, take care of her,

166
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: be her hero. Because she can't talk. She's three. She

167
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: is at least supposed to be saying a b c's

168
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: do you understand me? At three read y'all gotta pay

169
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:04,680
Speaker 1: attention to your babies. Don't have to evaluate your children.

170
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 1: You have to. You can protect them from so much,

171
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 1: from their lives being you know, miserable, or them having

172
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 1: to live with the flaw so big that they don't

173
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 1: get to see themselves. We have the power as mothers,

174
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 1: as mothers, as fathers to change that ship. Now a

175
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: lot of times it's not a lot of things that

176
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 1: you can do. We have artistic children. We have children

177
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:28,679
Speaker 1: who are born uh you know, limbless or you can't walk,

178
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 1: or or you have a birth defect that prevents you

179
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 1: from doing things that you want to do. You know,

180
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 1: children that that can't run because they have pope, polio

181
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: or you know, anything of that nature. You we still

182
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 1: have to do what the funk we can to make

183
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 1: them feel as equal as possible to other children who

184
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: don't have these problems. I had another girl that I knew,

185
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: you know, I'm saying, I know it like she wasn't

186
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 1: related to me with fun her because I'm mad at her.

187
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 1: She ain't getting to help for watch out. You know,

188
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 1: one of my cousins, I don't give a funk right.

189
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 1: She had a son. He had dyslexia. Nobody knew this

190
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,439
Speaker 1: for a long time. One of his teachers when he

191
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 1: got in the first grade, said something to her about it.

192
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 1: Do you know this bit? Try to fight the teacher, like,

193
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 1: I don't understand how as a mother you can have

194
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:12,680
Speaker 1: so much fucking pride that you can't even take a

195
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 1: teacher informing you about a struggle that your child has

196
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 1: a developmental disorder? Are you serious? Crazy? She tried to

197
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 1: fight the teacher. She was banned from the school. She

198
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:27,199
Speaker 1: took my little cousin out of school, put him in

199
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,079
Speaker 1: another school right now. Look, he could talk, he could

200
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 1: do everything to solve math. He just couldn't spell, and

201
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 1: he couldn't read, but talk perfectly. He was bad as hell.

202
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 1: Little cousin was bad as ship. But you know that

203
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 1: was the one issue that he had. You know, mentally

204
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: he could not do it. It was just something that

205
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 1: he couldn't do. As he was growing up, his behavior

206
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 1: got worse. He would get so frustrated with not being

207
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 1: able to read when he would lash out in school.

208
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 1: He would lash out at home doing homework. He would

209
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 1: last shout on his mentor he would lash out doing whatever.

210
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 1: She diagnosed him and said that he had bipolar disorder.

211
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: Never got him evaluating or nothing, but you're gonna tell

212
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 1: the fucking family he has bipolar disorder, so we won't

213
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: be looking at him. And that's the reason that we

214
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 1: won't be looking at him. Crazy when he lays shout

215
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 1: at the cook house and ship because because he can't

216
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 1: read with the rest of his fucking cousins who got

217
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:18,560
Speaker 1: great eight report cards and ship and who like, you're

218
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 1: selfish as fuck as a mother. So she would start

219
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 1: beating him, beating him, sucking him up when he would

220
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 1: while out and he was like eight or nine at

221
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 1: this point, and he would tell her, I can't read it.

222
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 1: I can't read it. I'm not doing it. I'm not

223
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: doing it, like real mad, like if I can't do it,

224
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 1: I'm not doing it, and don't ask me to. He

225
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: had to live with that for eight years. His father

226
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 1: got him help, His father got him up. She was

227
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 1: beating on his baby, beating on his little kid, beating

228
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 1: on him, thinking that he's just being nonchal lot, not

229
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 1: doing it right because because he want to give her

230
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 1: a hard time. No, he can't read, dumbass, and he's

231
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: telling you, and you're so prideful because you think your

232
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: child is supposed to be perfect at everything. You don't

233
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 1: want to be one of those parents us who have

234
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 1: to endure something being wrong with their child. It's okay,

235
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: shit happens. Every child is not born the same, and

236
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: these are issues that you have to deal with before

237
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,959
Speaker 1: it affects the rest of their fucking lives. They're innocent,

238
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 1: that didn't acts to be here. Take care of your children.

239
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:19,359
Speaker 1: Take care of your children, evaluate them, get to know them.

240
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 1: Catch on to bodily functions, catch on to the motor skills,

241
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 1: catch on two signs, body language, catch on try to

242
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:30,560
Speaker 1: do your own learning. Time to see what your child

243
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 1: knows before you even send them to school or send

244
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 1: them to daycare to be in the care of somebody else.

245
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:39,079
Speaker 1: You can catch it your damn self before somebody else

246
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 1: catches it. You know, it's okay to have a child

247
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 1: with disabilities. It is, It's all right. What the hell

248
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 1: you have to own it. You have to be honest

249
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 1: with yourself. Your child needs you first. Shit, if you

250
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 1: want to now what the funk you think they're gonna feel,

251
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:58,200
Speaker 1: You have to understand it's for your children's greater good.

252
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 1: Your child's greater good. Now. A lot of times it

253
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 1: has nothing to do with the mother. Sometimes it just happens.

254
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 1: Some children are born. Some things are hereditary, some things

255
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 1: are not. Some things come from you not having a

256
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 1: healthy pregnancy. People doing whatever they want when they're pregnant

257
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 1: with their bodies. That's why y'all really joke certain celebrities

258
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 1: about going vegan to to carry babies or or not

259
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 1: only eating certain things, and and only you know you

260
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 1: have to do that. Especially when you get up in

261
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,320
Speaker 1: age and you have babies, you're at risk. You know,

262
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 1: your risk is greater, the risk of losing the baby

263
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:36,680
Speaker 1: or giving an unhealthy birth or whatever, having all these issues.

264
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 1: Those chances increase when you're older. And that's usually what

265
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,559
Speaker 1: after thirty five or something. I don't wanna don't quote

266
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 1: me on statistics, y'all. I'm just ain't metter fact. Let

267
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 1: me stop throwing out these goddamn numbers. So you'll be,

268
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,439
Speaker 1: like Jeff said, if you're thirty six, you've been on

269
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 1: hand old babies. Because because y'all know y'all do it,

270
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,199
Speaker 1: I ain't say that. All I'm saying is the older

271
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 1: you get, the chances of you having a high risk

272
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,959
Speaker 1: pregnancy is greater and my little cousin who had dyslexia

273
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 1: all the time and in a learning condition that he

274
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 1: had to deal with. My cousin was smoking cigarettes her

275
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 1: whole pregnancy. When her water broke, she was banging a

276
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 1: fucking FuG That means in Baltimore, that mean she was

277
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 1: smoking a cigarette. She was banging a ship out them fuggs.

278
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 1: The fuck and then't want to be in denial when

279
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: it comes out that your son was affected by it

280
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 1: down the line, Why the fuck would you even still

281
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 1: consider smoking cigarettes when you're carrying a life inside of you.

282
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: He's breathing the air you breathe, You're putting tobacco in

283
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 1: his system voluntarily. Bitch that she made me so, may

284
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 1: you know? Now we got a commercial and if you

285
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 1: click off of this podcast, I swear I'm gonna beat

286
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 1: your ass. Listen. That brings me to just fix my

287
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 1: mess now, I asked online, has anybody ever had to

288
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 1: undergo any of these situations or or was ever put

289
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 1: in a predicament where you had to tell a friend

290
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 1: or a family member that their child is mentally challenged,

291
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 1: or their child is child lunge with something, or their

292
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 1: child is struggling with something that they need to pay

293
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 1: attention to, they need to take heed to it, that

294
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 1: they need to get it under control. I asked that,

295
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna read off a few responses t underscore

296
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 1: I I e. Says this is me right now, not

297
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 1: so much as in denial, but overwhelmed. We recently found

298
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 1: out that my son hadscalcula, which causes him to have

299
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 1: higher anxiety. So I'm trying to see who all I

300
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 1: can tell without the typical black family bullshit and actually

301
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 1: get help and cope with this. Well. I love the

302
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 1: honesty about it. I'm glad that that you even took

303
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 1: him to the doctor to get him evaluated, that he

304
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 1: was diagnosing, that y'all actually know the condition now, So

305
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 1: now that y'all, y'all have to move forward. If you

306
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 1: don't want to tell anybody, tell them when you're ready.

307
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 1: It's just you that needs to know, because it's not

308
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 1: really that people need to know your business. It's just

309
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 1: to the point where parents get so afraid and they

310
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 1: get so oh my god, oh my god, why my child,

311
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 1: to the point where they don't even do anything about

312
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 1: it because they're just so scared of what other people

313
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 1: will think. So it's not really all about what other

314
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 1: people will think, it's how it affects you in hindsight.

315
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 1: You're becoming one of those people that you don't want

316
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 1: to find out if you ain't helping your child, because

317
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 1: now you're judging your child. That's what that is when

318
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 1: you don't get help. I appreciate you sharing that with me.

319
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 1: For mother to mother and the typical family bullshit, baby

320
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 1: that's gonna come. You just gotta be the hero for

321
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 1: your child. You just gotta always let him know that

322
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 1: you got his back, no matter what. Hillary Banks four

323
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 1: points oh says I adopted my youngest daughter. She has

324
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 1: PTSD and a d h D. My lady thinks my

325
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 1: daughter is being disrespectful when she gets upset and elevates

326
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 1: her voice, but she gets that way when she's overloaded

327
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 1: and overwhelmed with emotion. She's in denial. My daughter has

328
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 1: actual clinical diagnosis. I get it. I definitely get it,

329
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 1: and she needs clinical help as well. To understand Hillary Banks,

330
00:16:58,200 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 1: I don't know your real name, so I'm just going,

331
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 1: you know, say Hillary Banks because that's your Instagram name.

332
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 1: Understand this, Hillary. If your lady has no kids, I'm

333
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,199
Speaker 1: not gonna say she won't necessarily never understand, but it's

334
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,880
Speaker 1: gonna take her a long time to understand what parenting

335
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 1: is like now she does have children. Maybe her children

336
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:17,679
Speaker 1: didn't suffer from this PTSD and a d h D,

337
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 1: so it can be a lot on people. Listen, I'm

338
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 1: around parents all the time who struggle with that. Takes

339
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 1: a lot of patients to deal with children, period, But

340
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,920
Speaker 1: when they have these diagnosis, these disorders like a d

341
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 1: h D and PTSD, I know that child is going

342
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 1: through some ship, you know, So you have to also

343
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,639
Speaker 1: be cognizant of how your lady feels as well, not

344
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 1: choosing one over the other, not because you're supposed to

345
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,719
Speaker 1: choose your kids, but you still have to get her

346
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,199
Speaker 1: the proper help so she can get better. And also

347
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 1: give your lady the benefit of the doubt, because it

348
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 1: can seem very disrespectful when a child raises their voice

349
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:55,159
Speaker 1: and be wild and out and ship, you know what

350
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:59,159
Speaker 1: I'm saying. So make sure that you're taking everybody's feelings

351
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 1: into consideration in right call me g O eight says.

352
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:06,119
Speaker 1: My sister in law was in denial about my nephews autism.

353
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 1: We saw he had problems with social interactions and proper behavior.

354
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,119
Speaker 1: So my brother took him to get tested and he

355
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:15,640
Speaker 1: was diagnosed with a mild form of autism. He's knowing

356
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 1: much better now since he started therapy. See problem solving.

357
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:24,159
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say problems solved. No, they can't take

358
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 1: his autism away, but they can get him help so

359
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 1: he can cope better in certain situations. There are all

360
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,639
Speaker 1: levels of autism, a lot of different levels to it.

361
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 1: You got ask Burgers. That's that's that's the mildest. Those

362
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,200
Speaker 1: people can still look at you, you have conversations with

363
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,679
Speaker 1: you think you had the total other opposite and of

364
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 1: the spectrum where those people don't walk, they never look

365
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:48,200
Speaker 1: at you. You know that a lot of them can't

366
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 1: even talk, but they're still smart in their own right,

367
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And the movie that y'all

368
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 1: should watch, I don't know if you've ever seen it,

369
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 1: but watch it. It's called Mercury Rising. Mercury Rising is

370
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 1: about a kid of autism. I think I think it

371
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 1: would it would definitely shed some light on parents who

372
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 1: actually take care of autistic children. But yes, back to

373
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,920
Speaker 1: my point, I'm glad that they got him therapy. Now,

374
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,160
Speaker 1: as far as his sister in law being in denial

375
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:15,160
Speaker 1: about it, you know, I see that all the time now.

376
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 1: A lot of times. It depends on how long you

377
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 1: are in denial, Because I get it. You see something

378
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 1: wrong with your child, you don't know what to do.

379
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:23,119
Speaker 1: You scared, You don't want to tell your family, Your

380
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,439
Speaker 1: family may judge you. You You don't want to tell this

381
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:27,359
Speaker 1: person because this person may laugh. You don't want to

382
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 1: tell this person because then you don't want to look

383
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 1: like you know, you don't want to look weak. You know,

384
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 1: I get it. But the longer it takes for you

385
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 1: to get yourself together, the long it takes for the

386
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 1: child as well to get help. You gotta figure that

387
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:42,159
Speaker 1: out and get some help sooner than later. Last one,

388
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna read Antisocial Underscore Butterfly with two wise. My

389
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:50,160
Speaker 1: best friend, her baby didn't walk till after two he'll

390
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 1: be three next week, and he is non verbal, and

391
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 1: she tells people he's non chalant the whole time. She's

392
00:19:56,359 --> 00:20:00,119
Speaker 1: never took him to a pediatrician. Same situation that has

393
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 1: head while I just told you all about with one

394
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:06,919
Speaker 1: of my family members. Nonchalant. Okay, so when he grows up.

395
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:09,920
Speaker 1: What's gonna be the excuse? What are you gonna tell

396
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 1: people when he grows up? Oh no, no, no, better one.

397
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 1: What is he going to be able to tell people

398
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:17,680
Speaker 1: when you grow up? Not a goddamn thing because he's nonverbal.

399
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 1: If he can't talk now, he ain't gonna be able

400
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,879
Speaker 1: to talk when he gets older. So ship, get some

401
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 1: help for these babies. This ship is frustrating this ship.

402
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 1: It's frustrating that ship can play a big part in

403
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 1: your mental health as well, which is not a goddamn joke.

404
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:35,400
Speaker 1: We've seen this for the last few years. It's it's

405
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 1: been put all over the place. Now a lot of

406
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,159
Speaker 1: people are aware of what mental health can really do

407
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,479
Speaker 1: and how bad it can really get. So y'all need

408
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 1: to get behind this. And I'm not fussing at everybody

409
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 1: because everybody doesn't have these issues, but I know somebody

410
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 1: to know, somebody to know somebody that does know someone

411
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 1: else that knows, you know where in the mouth. Don't

412
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:57,120
Speaker 1: be scared to be honest with your friends. Should beat

413
00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,440
Speaker 1: it in their eggs until they get out and know that, No,

414
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:01,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna in this ship before I custom parents out
