1 00:00:01,520 --> 00:00:05,360 Speaker 1: All right. This is from Tanisha and oak Cliff. Tanisha says, 2 00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:07,480 Speaker 1: my mom moved in with me to help keep an 3 00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:10,600 Speaker 1: eye on my teenage daughters. They were sneaking out of 4 00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:14,480 Speaker 1: the windows, sneaking boys into the windows. My mom went 5 00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:17,959 Speaker 1: to the extreme and nailed their bedroom windows shut. She 6 00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:20,800 Speaker 1: sometimes sleeps in their room with them, and she'll make 7 00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:24,400 Speaker 1: them sleep with their bedroom doors open. She also does 8 00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:28,320 Speaker 1: random room checks and cell phone checks. I love how 9 00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:31,280 Speaker 1: my mom handles the girls who are fifteen and seventeen, 10 00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,519 Speaker 1: but they're starting to really hate their grandmother. Is it 11 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:36,680 Speaker 1: cruel and unusual? Punishment? 12 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, as is shoe would be. That's what punishment is 13 00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:43,720 Speaker 2: cool and unusual. I don't know why y'all thinking punishment 14 00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:47,320 Speaker 2: is supposed to be some luxury thing. All punishment is 15 00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:52,360 Speaker 2: cool and unusual. She'd have nailed you window shut, can't 16 00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:55,040 Speaker 2: I remember that she got that go open? 17 00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 3: WoT Oh? Grandmama is here. 18 00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 1: Everything, and she sleeps in the room with them. 19 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,279 Speaker 3: And then she coming there and sleeping that way. It 20 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:02,920 Speaker 3: gets cool. 21 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:08,199 Speaker 2: Nobody want to sleep at their grandma. 22 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:12,320 Speaker 3: He smelled different. Oh you're in now, you're smelling the 23 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:17,600 Speaker 3: mothballs all night. One day I can't holler sleep?

That littlement on me? 25 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,040 Speaker 2: Now, it's all in my dreams at school kids talking 26 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,320 Speaker 2: about I smell like the hospital. 27 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 3: Grandma saying I got your gentle parents. I'm the hand 28 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,680 Speaker 3: of this, all right. 29 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 1: So it's not a cruel and unusual. 30 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 3: It's supposed to be cruel and unus h that's sleeping up. 31 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 1: It's just regular stuff. 32 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, thinking I complaining about the jail. 33 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 1: Don't go down now, yeah, problem right, all right, we 34 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 1: have time for another one, Steve. This is from Anne 35 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 1: in Jacksonville and says, my husband has a son by 36 00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 1: his first wife, and we have full custody him. His 37 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 1: ex wife claims the son on her taxes annually, and 38 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 1: I think she should pay us child support monthly because 39 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,960 Speaker 1: if the tables returned, I'm sure she would ask for 40 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 1: child support. My husband said that as a man, he 41 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,360 Speaker 1: would never ask her for money to raise his son. 42 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,239 Speaker 1: Does that sound right to you? Why does he allow 43 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:20,119 Speaker 1: her to get over? 44 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 3: No? It does. 45 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 2: It sounds exactly right, And that's just how real men are. 46 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:29,799 Speaker 2: I don't need your help raising my son. I got 47 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 2: full of custody. You ain't got to give me a quarter. 48 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 2: That's how real men think, you know. Now, you don't 49 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,799 Speaker 2: put the little female aspect why letting her get away 50 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 2: with it? All he wanted was custody of his son 51 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:45,800 Speaker 2: so he could raise him the right way. 52 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,359 Speaker 3: Now you have to ask yourself something too. Now. 53 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 2: It very rarely does a court take a child away 54 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 2: from the mother and give custody to the father. That's 55 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 2: a whole nother statement right there. It is a most 56 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 2: diff for a man to get custody of a child 57 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,799 Speaker 2: from a mother. So you need to blink right there. 58 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,239 Speaker 2: So thank god that you have the type of man 59 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,080 Speaker 2: that you have. Instead of talking about why he letting 60 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 2: her get away with that, that's the wrong way to 61 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 2: look at him. Lady, that's his son. I got him. 62 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 2: I don't need no help raising him. 63 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 1: But you know why the wife is mad because she 64 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:25,960 Speaker 1: claims the son on the taxes. 65 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, this is a financial thing. 66 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 2: So what the game?
