It's a good suggestion. He knows what's best for him and his family, but it's a thoughtful suggestion.

[@sandrafernandez3839]

Joe, I wanted to say sorry for judging your grandma in the last video. I see how much your grandma loves her great grandkids so much. Love seeing Alena and your mom together. This video put so much emotions in my heart and made me feel hopeful for my own blended family..that someday we can come together like this and leave the differences aside.

[@mickasoul]

It’s crazy hearing one of the kids ask why is her house so small 😅 it just goes to show how blessed you guys are most of us living in homes about the same size

[@lindacoleman4308]

Sweet visit

[@demi5378]

They have a large family as well & a modern home. Back in the day, the houses were a lot smaller.

[@cynthiamckinney4276]

What would you expect from a 4 year old? Smh

I teared up when Great Grandma was hugging the kids goodbye. Very emotional. You can feel her love.

😭😭😭😭

[@gloriadaniels2278]

Kids was all over the place kinda, too wild for grandma more control

[@orighomisandediare4990]

Joe, this was a sad goodbye from Grandma. Make sure you are regularly in contact with her. Try as much as you can

[@patsystewart254]

Every little call or visit mean so much.

[@ChaoticBluez]

I’m sure he already knows how to maintain a relationship with his own family.

[@christianea1240]

You’re absolutely right.

[@BlueBabyAkaAj]

It’s always so sad when they have to say goodbye to grandma she’s so old and alone but I’m sure her daughter hopefully goes to visit her and it looks like she has friends that come by her house and a community

[@Sweets444]

Joe was so respectful to his mother regarding his hair...Respectful, while still setting a boundary regarding his personal choice for his hair style. 🫶

[@ramonalewis7c]

That's what I liked too

Yes.

[@ThembiMnisi-md7vb]

I cried when granny said i pray for you and your family, and she goes on says never get sick , work for your kids , too the kids she said listen to your parents, very touching words , Joe is so lucky❤❤❤❤

[@deedeelaveen6872]

It was strange to me that he didn't really reply back. Not thank you. Not I pray for you also. Nothing.

[@lindabeach9926]

​@deedeelaveen6872 I don't see where any of the children are being taught respect for the older members of their family. It does not matter if the children don't see them that often, tge parents should be telling and teaching them what yo say to the older family members and how they are to act around older family members. As we were taught respect and we/ I taught children respect. I don't care how many degrees you may have. If you don't know how to respect and interact with one another, you will not go far in life.

[@daphuc1]

How is grandma more judgmental than great grandma? lol. I guess she’s older and she’s focusing more on enjoying the time she gets to spend with Joe and the little ones. I love that she kept pouring blessings into the family ❤️

[@MAZELEE]

This is Butter's first time meeting great grandma. :)

Alena, you are looking FABULOUS, love your hair color and you are looking toned and slim🔥🔥

[@lridgely5713]

I like how relaxed Joe’s mother was over there home. She really smiled a lot when Amaryah was speaking Korean. I like her and Alena respectful demeanor towards one another.

[@CarolynForney]

It looks like mother in law has finally accepted her.

[@olabmar498]

Loved witnessing your grandma’s warmth🥰 I am sure great grandma was knocked out for at least two weeks after the visit with the kids🤣

😂😂😂I said that too. Granny needs a nap

[@pambeforethestorm9784]

Funny lol, but when kids are in front of an IPad, they are stone still for hours! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I taught mine to sit still for 30 mins at a time so that when we went to grandma's house, they were more calm but love seeing this visit. So sweet!! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@citychicdoc1596]

The visit to great grandmother's home was everything! She definitely assumed her role by getting some nourishment for the kids. Fabulous and enjoyable visit!

[@roselynho7038]

May God protect and guide her always.Amen!

Joe, u r most gracious! Love how u handled the hair situation, so smooth and leaving no stone un turned love that.

[@geeniality4215]

I have been thinking about Joe's grandmother and his mother. I'm happy to see them with their beautiful grandchildren.

[@annhuff3300]

Joe's grandmother gave good advice to stay healthy. She said she prays for the family which was nice. You could tell his Mom and grandmother was glad to see and spend time with Joe and the kids.

[@satis7561]

It's a typical Korean blessing. They always wish a person good health first . 🙃

[@nomcebodhladhla6385]

I love great granny from back then and how she used to adore Arazo and Ajedi during their visits❤️

[@dominiqueingle8598]

It’s refreshing watching this because it’s so real. A lot of the older generation don’t filter out their opinions and it doesn’t have to be met with great offense. They’re not “woke” nor do I think that they care to be so it’s nice to see that you still met your elders with love. Blessings to you guys!

[@alicesagolili]

Oh my. I think I'm gonna cry seeing great grandma hugging the children. You're blessed she's still there for you & your family & including your family in her prayers. Treasure the moment Jo. God bless 🙏❤️

This just melt my heart to see you visit your grandma and the love she has for you and your children. I was sad when you had to say goodbye. She gave you words of wisdom that I listen to for my life. Stay healthy to live long, don’t get sick, take care of yourself. Love you all and I been watching your KZbin channel for a long time. ❤

[@shirlspark_stardust]

I love how Joe just laughed when his mother made that comment about his hair he laughed along with her. Joe is humble and a great dad and baby boy meeting great grandma for the first time and bringing something for your elders is a cultural thing my family is from Haiti when we go to a elders house we bring something as a gesture of respect 🙏🏾 it's a common thing sending love to one of my fave KZbin channels Mazelee 😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@cjgmc1]

I am an African -American and I was brought up to always take a hostess gift when I visit anyone at their home. It is out of respect, thanks and gratitude.

[@satis7561]

It"s pretty common throughout the world not 2 go visiting empty-handed

[@aliciahackshaw2776]

It's so nice seeing everyone together just enjoying the company of one another. So Wholesome ❤

What a blessing to have your Mom and Mom’s/Mom❤️making memories with your family. Great grandma spoke life over those children❤️Joe I notice the good energy with both of them. I remember previous videos , the growth level of you’ll relationship is phenomenal maturity from both sides. Love how you respected mom as she was being very opinionated about how you transitioned from a young man to an adult. Joe/Alen ❤ the culture awareness you give your family. Mom loves the bonus Grandaughter stating Amia is beautiful ❤️ blessings Mazelee family keep being amazing to many cultures ❤️

The children is almost bigger than they're great grandma! So sweet!

[@Faithwalk212]

Alena & Joe, amazing way to share the Lords love, no boundaries or division . Even when someone is uncomfortable, your family makes them feel welcome. Even when you see differences in other people's responses , it is a joy to see the ministry of reconciliation working through the family.

[@condesabeatriz9303]

Amen!

[@pamelalubrein2888]

So lovely for the children to see their roots and culture, and to see how different cultures can merge respectfully, live you all, hi Joe

[@v_young]

If I could ❤ this comment any more! Thank you Mazelee family for opening up your home & your lives, to us customers lol The opportunity for us all to reflect, especially God's children of how we living His word, love, grace 🙏 We need not be mixed/blended family to live/experience discrimination/judgement, oh but harder still coming from flesh & blood 💔 This was so real, beautifully so, how Alena & Joe navigating, walking in His truth, shining Lord's light- your children learning, they will not stray. Your amazing eldest, respect/compassion speaking with her grandma, encouraging also her Dad to converse in Korean with his mum, despite grandma questioning who she was 💖 Great grandma sharing how she prays for her/Joe & Alena's family, His love conquers all ✝️🙌

[@coollikedat]

Reminds me of the scripture.. Roman's 12:18 If possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably. Sometimes, it looks impossible, but God understands that part, too.

[@Faithwalk212]

Is it deeper than the hair? The Mom made the comment about Joe's hair choice not reflecting his Korean heritage. That was a deeper than hair comment.

[@annielehnhardt_kolakowski5818]

Hey Maze-Lee Of all your videos, this one teared me up. I see your Grandmother Great/Grandmother as being a billionaire. They has so much love and wisdom forever for your family. In the beginning, I use to think they would be different with the family, but now my thinking is different. I learn when one is set in their cultural ways, it can be very difficult. But here is what I see that you must do.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Take time to pick their knowledge(brain) of history and culture. Learn about the long agos. Write these things down while they are mentally clear to be true in your mind. LOVE YOU MAXE-LEE

[@gloriamessam6200]

Love this ❤ The kids and Great Grandma just precious. God bless her. I pray you have more opportunities for longer visits 🙏🏼

[@INDIGO.GODDESS_573]

They didn't like her at first or that she has so many kids, even though they have known Alena for a longtime, her and joe was bff in high school. I can see & feel that they don't fully like her and are over whelmed with so many kids, I think they learned to accept Joes "black kids", because they actually look Korean. Alena is amazing, sweet and brilliant they should be honored to have her as Joe's wife. Alena family loves and value's Joe, Alena deserve's the same love and respect.

[@j.j.mandoki826]

Maybe next time we will be able to see the grandfathers Lee and Maze at a family gathering at a 'Jamaican & Korean styled' backyard bar-b-que in California !!! Great grandfather would have been overjoyed, & full of laughter if he was still on earth to see the funny things the kids do...All the best MAZELEE family...with many more GOOD DAYs to come!!!

[@dellascott163]

One person said that Alana stood her ground against until she was accepted, but I will give more credit to Joe for being strong enough to stay with her. Alana didn't have to do much, but be his wife. He's the one who had to kindly stand his ground against family. She didn't have to say anything, but just be kind and available. I've seen quite a few asian men with black girlfriends or wives and there is one thing I can say...they don't get rid of the women just because their parents disapprove of their relationships like American men (black and white) do. In all the cases I've seen, the Asian man will keep developing a relationship with the woman and his parents and hope that the relationships work out fine. The never turn against the woman if they are sure about the relationship and in almost all of those cases, the parents eventually warmed up to the woman and they went on to have good relationships. I've seen American men drop good women all because their mothers disapproved of them. I hope that they will learn from guys like Joe. Stop allowing your mothers to run your lives.

[@JESUSISLORDforever888]

🎯🎯🎯. I never understood/understand that in asian culture. After all it is the son/daughter’s mate and not the parents 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🤷🏼‍♀️

[@nikkirockznikkirockz8551]

That's the most bold faced lie ever, Asian men more than anY other race tend to marry who their family approves, whilst Blaq guys usually don't marry anybody much lol and White guys have stood up for their Blaq wives (historically, and presently) the most-ever heard of "Loving vs. Virginia" when a White man went to the Supreme Court to make Interracial marriage Legal with the Blaq woman he loved!?? 🤡

[@gloriarobinson1869]

After all that is said and done to the Africans those who believe themselves to be better than them should know first and foremost that they are the mothers and fathers of man kind, so with all their negativity and false sense of superiority means nothing, just shows their ignorance.

[@genuine50504]

I've seen that behavior, too.. however, it's when the asian in the relationship is a man , when it's an Asian woman w /a black man she's practically shunned.
