44:38 Melissa 😭😭😭 “oh he murdered MURDERED” As if you can lightly murder someone 😂

[@leggs4113]

There are different levels of murdergry. (Yes that’s a word) 😂😂😂

[@ShamirYukno]

😂😂😂😂😂 you can. It's called manslaughter.

[@ILoveNaeSayers]

@@leggs4113 I always thought the different levels depended on intent, not whether or not you indeed murdered a person. Thanks for the new vocab word lol

[@ILoveNaeSayers]

@@ShamirYukno the different levels are due to level of intent, correct?

[@crespeakslife]

Heavy on the murder 😂

[@flourishingwithvicki8682]

Mel saying “Girl” to Cam is hilarious and shows me we’re the same!

[@AlisFashionSense]

Melanie is really gin 😂😂😂! This high school boyfriend story is hilarious.

[@CharliEdwards]

TBH when I was teaching every parent would always say “my child would never” “that’s not their temperament”. Honestly, parents have no idea what the kids are like at school .🤷🏾‍♀️ I would’ve asked the mom for the supposed story again in front of the kids. I’m sure the little girl would’ve been back peddling.

[@astride7881]

I’m not saying her child did hit the other kid. But we all know kids don’t act the same school as they do at home.

[@ellemartin9684]

Same here. I take a neutral stance about what my daughter might do when I’m not around. Unfortunately, as a parent we’re one of many influences on our children.

[@ImNotALawyerBut]

@@astride7881& honestly I’m not Naive to that. I absolutely believe McKinley can show out - but u don’t believe she’s violent & is putting her hands on people and all her teachers until this point have never said anything other than that. She talks a lot but never that she’s mean and certainly not violent.

[@ImNotALawyerBut]

I’m not naive to my child acting up. I actually welcome and encourage teachers to tell me if she’s acting an ass at school..McKinley is just not violent and I’ve never had an experience where someone (teacher, parent or otherwise) has said she is and it’s not my experience at home.

[@MooreLikeME]

I was just about to say. You would be surprised lol. Nothing wrong with believing your child, on both sides. Kids are kids and typically can sort out their own conflicts. She should've told you immediately after it happened if she wanted to be involved, at least the second time just to make sure everyone is aware and clear. It could be something totally harmless that she took out of context from her daughter.

[@VictoriousMoe]

“Over that Niccah?” 🤣🤣🫠💀

[@ItsJustDiggs]

During the quarantine/pandemic, my sister started doing weekly family devotionals at home to make sure her kids learn about Jesus, even though they weren’t going to the church building. Maybe you guys can do that.

[@ariesww]

Melissa, I feel so seen with every last thing you said about the boys. From the church to the cleaning! We need a support group!😩

[@Genie2386]

I missed the Patreon so I'll say it here...If that classmate's mom is so disturbed by McKinley's* behavior then WHY is she still trying to make the girls be friends? Leave her be and go about your business, random mom.

[@ksg314]

Right, she sounds unwell.

[@sonyathomas-roberts1128]

YEEEEES, If another child puts hands on my child and im believing it enough to bring it to you like "FACT" why are our children still friends? Until we can sort it out KEEP YOU DISTANCE, this is sooooo weird.

[@lysbetts]

Firstly, I will be liberating Mel’s tent/circus analogy because period! I also wholeheartedly agree with Mel’s take on the KeKe situation. His intentionality to humble and embarrass her should tell her everything she needs to know. He decided how their relationship would be from now on and Keke obliged. More power to her.

[@portianichols9625]

Regarding the KeKe story, I'm in full agreement with Melissa. I hate that being petty is a new goal that a lot of people strive for. At the end of the day, she has to co-parent with that man for the rest of her life. This moment in pop culture will pass.

The church convo is so relatable I realized this summer that my kids won't know church the way I did but also I went to enough church for my whole family 😅

[@shannonhamilton1570]

Y'all are on point with the kids not knowing how to clean!! I struggle with my boys. I think we assume they know, get on them for not knowing, but then realize we didn't teach and reteach. Smh. Lawd, take the wheel!!!

[@travelesqueboutique2649]

Scrolling YT mmb and stumbled on y'all and something said watch. As soon as the church convo came up I was like yep I've found my people!! Subscribed

[@neicourtaamrnk7738]

I can so relate to the kids/church thing. I have decided to be more diligent about taking my kids because they need that foundation. Since I am older now, I can talk with them about “church” and “people” and how in life there are spaces where people be peopling but we can’t let that stop us from doing what we need to do. Encouraging myself as well lol. Love the podcast ladies!!

[@bboicrazy8]

It's funny because now I go to church more than my mom does currently, but she was raised in a traditional Black church going on the time. While she has many good memories, she has feelings about gossipy ways in church, but I tell her that's not all churches. You're right, at the end of the day people will be people and there is real "church hurt". I think in general it's good to do spiritual/religious instruction yourself with your kids (which means learning yourself and it can be fun) but also being a part of a community is essential in my opinion.

[@vc9732]

Keke should have done everything she did. Dont start none wont be none. Its not what SHE did. He knew 😂

[@atheophile00]

I’m with Mel on this one 57:16 regarding KeKe Palmer. He literally tried to be petty by doing exactly what she said she doesn’t like by publicly trying to shame her instead of keeping their business private. Women are often made to feel like they have to take a man’s disrespect and stay quiet or take the high road. But because she matched his energy now she is seen as destroying their relationship when he in fact caused the destruction with his Twitter fingers. Who’s to say that after he tried to publicly play her that now she can’t stand to co-parent with HIM. The merch was centered around the words he put out to try to embarrass her. I see no problem with her flipping it into her benefit. And I thought the video was tasteful.

[@VictoriousMoe]

Agreed! Why not flip his attempted public humiliation, and make money off of it. That’s what a smart business person does. Secrets always comes to light, he was probably toxic and petty way before this incident, so whatever coparenting issues they may have, is not due to Keke’s murch and videos.

[@Lady4Life]

my dad was in church every sunday but didnt raise me that way. i am really grateful for that bc it 100 percent allowed me as my OWN person to find my own beliefs and see what i believe in instead of being TOLD what to believe in. not having them in church isnt a bad thing. i wouldnt be so hard on yourself. you said they still have your same beliefs…so..

[@priscillamichel4797]

During his senior year, our high-school star football player randomly decided to join a group of guys for an armed robbery . He normally didn't do stuff like that, so it was a huge shock to the whole city. He lost everything and went to prison. It was crazy to see such a bright future go down the drain like that. He had regular friends, and his family had enough money. He really had no reason to do it. Just one bad case of wrong place wrong time.

[@melissa8580]

21:21 Mel and Melissa…. Yalls kids know Jesus and the word and church because YOU ALL live the teachings and embody the word. You are the living breathing example of the very best parts of religion/faith. The best thing any parent can do is lead by example, they are watching more than they are listening. BE at the LIGHT and they will follow.

[@SweaterGodHavina]

In high school this one girl tried to “gently “ run over this other girl after an intense verbal altercation. I say gently because she knew better!!!

36:37 same Mel. Every job up to the one I have now had fire drills and shelter in place drills. This job I have now, these people do NOT care. God forbid there be an emergency, ima go ahead and let them figure it out I know what I need to do. My family even had a whole mapped out meet up plan in the event of another 911. Now it’s more about a meet up plan for all three high schoolers in different buildings.

[@shaylovesthethings]

My high school was tough lol! I was a nerdy church girl lol, they fought so much the year before, they got rid of the King/Queen for prom and superlatives! We also couldn’t get dismissed for prom day to get our hair done! I came to prom in full rollers. My son is in middle and I cried on his first day seeing him in his uniform because he was so handsome…time is a thief! Also, these kids I am raising are heathens lol! They need Jesus and Mr. clean!

ok hairrrr Mel!!!

[@ccmediamogul8673]

Whewww heavy on protective mother cause who hitting who 😂🤦🏾‍♀️👏🏾

[@deidreej]

Your mom for the WIN! 😂😂😂😂 I don’t think you failed your kids. It wasn’t a requirement for them to clean or cook when they were small so now it’s not a need for them to think about doing it. They know, mom is going to do it! Cause mom always does it. Now, mom is tired, cause she has to work, take care of self, husband, kids, house, and a dog and she can’t do all things. Don’t get upset, have a family meeting and tell them starting now, you clean your room, bathrooms and every other day Jo will do dishes and Isaiah will do them on the others. Do like Michelle Obama did with the girls, the cleaners won’t be cleaning your rooms, cause you need to clean your own rooms. They will clean everything but your rooms. Pick a day for each boy to wash clothes and cook. It’s not to late to make it a requirement. You are an awesome mom🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

[@kajmylove4434]

Amen. on everything.

[@msredwun]

Crazy school stories? We had MANY! I mean too manymanymany to tell. We were in news SEVERAL times. One of my favorites: During senior year, my high school principal's wife came to the school parking lot and WENT TO WORK on his red BMW with a bat .... Because he was cheating on her with our school librarian. After i graduated, the assistant principal, that everyone noticed and said was weird azfu*k, was caught and CONVICTED for segx abuooze of a special needs minor😢. The minor wasn't a student from our school though. Foster kid or something. (Intentional misspelling due to cenzer filters)

[@berrylamar]

Regarding Keke Palmer... he lit the fire and she said "let it burn! 🔥"

[@aspiringshara6751]

I agree with Melissa…. Even if the father posted publicly, when you have a child with someone-someone has to be the bigger person to preserve the privacy of the relationship.

[@avaholloway32]

[@deanchristie7723]

Mel saying "OOOOOOO He Murdered Murdered!!!" had me stop listening as i couldn't listen and keep working.

[@msray0721]

Here's my opinion about the Keke situation. I get what Melissa is saying but something inside me is telling me He has done more than that one incident that "WE" know about. He was too comfortable with airing his grieves to the world about his Son's mother. Now it's Keke responsible not to meet him with the same energy. Everyone has a breaking point don't know what else was said beyond that internet post. It ain't no fun when the rabbit got the gun. He'll be okay this will pass and hopefully he'll get some therapy.

[@DorisClay]

It may be good lessons of confronting issues and talking things out to have both moms & daughters discuss what was said, and to see if anyone's story changes. I mean if they're that close of friends maybe they can get over it or at least the other girl's mom can since it sounds like the girls have no problems. Also keep monitoring their convos and make you a list of what that girl is doing since that's apparently what her mom does, stockpiles info to bring up later. Seems weird to me.

[@Prettygirlcountryboy]

They need to elaborate on what I said exactly 😂 cause it wasn’t just a say a lie

Just throwing this out there, maybe the mom be watching the facetimes so ban the bathroom tablet use. The world isn't all good and the momma maybe also wants to break up the friendship.

Her tablet is tied to my phone & they talk on a kid app only - no FT, so I know when she’s on it & I too have monitored their conversation & I don’t always like how the little girl be talking.

[@mrs.robbiek2772]

With the McKinley thing, the other child is probably jealous or upset if McKinley plays with other kids, so shes going home telling her mother these lies to get back at McKinley. I've seen this happen so much with little girls. And the mamas getting involved over stupid stuff. It's super awkward and annoying

[@princess20131]

I also wonder if my son knows who Jesus is. I make sure he says his grace before he eats and i try to explain why we pray. one of the reasons i stopped going to church consistently is because of my son's anxiety, i dont want him to get overwhelmed and scared. I would watch online though and during the panini press lol we had no choice but to stay home.

[@JasmineFieldsESQ]

Personal question - why don't you go to church? I know you experienced bad things in church, but were you not able to find a good and safe place of worship? Do you do home Bible with your children since you don't go to church?

[@EvolvingMama_]

42:32 - 43:29 😭💀🤣

[@eoa363]

Polygamy specifically refers to a man having multiple wives. (The female equivalent, having multiple husbands, is polyandry.) Polyamory is (the potential for) multiple relationships for all parties. So this Sister Wives situation (polygamy) is very patriarchal in a way that polyamory shouldn't be.

[@Cubanchic305]

So to give a story about something wild in high school. There's so many things to choose from which is sad. But in my sophomore year I joined a modeling club. During one of our meetings someone came in and told classmate hey your brother and boyfriend are fighting. The brother and his gang shot and killed boyfriend and his gang. Apparently she got with the leader of a rival gang.

[@preciousgugzikgomo7060]

I’m with Liss on the Keke Palmer situation. I hate that he put them in this situation to begin with & there is a possibility that in the background he’s talking bat shit crazy & we’re only seeing her reactions. But I just don’t prescribe to the school of thought that because he ruined it first she needs to ruin it further, because at the end of the day who’s going to suffer for that? The kid. Sure BD may deserve all that she’s doing but to what end & to who’s detriment? Sometimes we get so caught up in vindication that we lose the plot, and dirty our own hands in the process. Then again who knows, maybe all this goes down & they still somehow down the line find a way to co-parent & he now knows which lines not to cross? That’s possible too, just not likely.

[@mrs.robbiek2772]

Mel is absolutely right about Keke baby daddy. You want a circus? I got some floppy shoes and a big red nose in my closet, so we can definitely clown.

Lol usually I agree with Melissa BUT Keke didn’t go too far, because she could’ve went to the ends of the earth. He could’ve addressed her privately but choose to embarrass her on the internet and then the internet embarrassed him 😂😂😂. I think that for the sake of their baby she didn’t do too much and kept it cute

[@keithanderson4701]

I think we should compare the derek jxn situation and the keke palmer situation. Derek cheated and Keke danced. He went on a tour of interviews and selfie videos. He spoke about and embarrassed his WIFE multiple times. Keke broke up with him, made merch, and shot a video with a legend. Keke hasn't spoken her bd's name. I think we are unfair towards Keke with what she has done(which was nothing) compared to men cheating and the such and how looooong they drag it. Keke could have done far more and deserved to like Mel said.
