10
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 1: Dear Stephen Shirley, I am a thirty four year old

11
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 1: single mother. I have had the same best friend for

12
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 1: twenty years and she is my daughter's godmother. My daughter's

13
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 1: father died when she was two years old, and my

14
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:44,880
Speaker 1: best friend said she would always be there for my child. Well,

15
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 1: she has not kept her promise. My daughter is seven

16
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 1: years old now and she has a spicy personality and

17
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 1: behavioral problems. She acts out when she's upset, and she

18
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 1: has a problem with being disrespectful to adult. I have

19
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:05,679
Speaker 1: tried everything to discipline her, but nothing has worked. This

20
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:09,039
Speaker 1: past Saturday, her godmother took her to a birthday party

21
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 1: for me so I could rest and nurse a cold

22
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,399
Speaker 1: within thirty minutes of leaving, my child walked back in

23
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 1: yelled at the top of her lungs at her godmother.

24
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 1: The godmother said that as soon as she got to

25
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 1: the party, this child of mine insulted the birthday girl

26
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: and told her that her hair was a mess, her

27
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: party decorations were terrible, and her house was stinky. My

28
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 1: best friend said she was so embarrassed she drugged my

29
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 1: daughter out of the party, kicking and screaming. I know

30
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: my friend was very upset, but I thought as an adult,

31
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 1: she should have handled it. A few hours later, I

32
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 1: called my best friend to see if she cooled off.

33
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: She said she wasn't mad, but she is done with

34
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: my daughter for good. She denounced her title as the

35
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: godmother of my child. I didn't even know you could

36
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: do that. She doesn't want my child to fear with

37
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,639
Speaker 1: our friendship. I'm like, what, who does that? I tried

38
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 1: reasoning with her, but she kept saying that she's not

39
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,799
Speaker 1: changing her mind. It's going to devastate my child because

40
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: she loves her godmother. So how will I tell my

41
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:18,079
Speaker 1: child that her godmother quit her I'm so upset? Well,

42
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: I mean, really, can you blame her? Though? I mean,

43
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 1: no one likes a bad but child, just no one

44
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 1: likes bad they they's type kids. No one likes them

45
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 1: but their parents. Sorry, and you're her mom, so you know.

46
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: I mean, truth be told, her godmother might come back

47
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: if little god daughter, you know, is better behaved. But

48
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 1: I just got to ask, where is she getting this attitude?

49
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:46,519
Speaker 1: I mean, at seven years old, what kind of little

50
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: friends does she have? She's disrespectful as she showed at

51
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 1: the party. She's unruly, she's way too grown. She's just

52
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: a bad little kid. I mean, what is wrong are

53
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: you doing your part as mom? You as her mother? Okay,

54
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 1: as her mother, I think you got to know that

55
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: this is more than what you call a spicy personality.

56
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 1: I think you're overlooking this whole thing because she's your daughter.

57
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 1: I think you just can't wait for the godmother to

58
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: godmother to come over and discipline your child. The stuff

59
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: that your godmother does every once in a while, every

60
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: now and then, that's not going to stick. That's not

61
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 1: going to stay with your child. It really isn't, you know.

62
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: And she could very well be through with your daughter

63
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: because your daughter did act up. The question is why

64
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: is she doing all this? And if it's going to

65
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 1: devastate your child so much because she loves her godmother,

66
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: maybe you know that would reel your daughter in and

67
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 1: make her behave better. But I think the best thing

68
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: to do is to get your daughter into some kind

69
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: of therapy right away. I know people will disagree with me.

70
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: Some are just going to say you should whoop her

71
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 1: a little behind. I know people are gonna say that,

72
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: but I mean, she's only seven. She's only seven.

73
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 2: You ain't get your.

74
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: He needs it, that fool. But anyway, that's what I

75
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: think about this, because you know she suffered major laws.

76
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 1: I mean, even though she was only two years old.

77
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 1: You're a single mom. There is no man in the home.

78
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,159
Speaker 1: She could just be acting out. So get her into

79
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: some therapy. Okay, Steve plause please?

80
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:33,520
