S2 EP 15 | MOMMY DIARIES BY PASI | AMANDA MAKU | MARRAIGE | PRAYER | RAISNG A SON | GRIEF AND LOSS

[@sinelizwinkwali9845]

Guys I'm crying because it's interviews like these that give me hope that my child will speak. My son turned 4 years old in Aug 2024 and he says 1 word, and he knows only a few. When Amanda said her son said "white-seat" at 4 and a half, I started crying because there's hope for my son too. Thank you beautiful ladies for this interview because it spoke to the depth of my current season.

[@vuyelwamokhutshane1534]

I wept tlhe, because it didn't make sense at first.. Then later on I saw the language barrier thing. You want the kid to know the mother tongue but they're exposed to different languages at a time. Thanks Mapaseka le Amanda, ke ithutile a lot guys

[@atlegangmaleka4035]

Hi dear Im not a mother but I am a sister and my little brother had a speech delay. He only started talking at the age of 6 and today he is 14 and he is fluent in 2 languages. He was non verbal at first and my mom was advised to not let him point things but to instead talk or say a word so that encouraged him to speak. If he speaks gibberish talk to him in his language and correct him. He will talk trust me ❤

[@sinelizwinkwali9845]

@@atlegangmaleka4035 Thank you for your response, it's responses like these that give people like me hope because some day I just look at him and wonder if he will ever articulate a full sentence with comprehension?

[@mphogagane5409]

I have twins and 1 of them has had a speech delay. It's perfectly ok for kids to develop at different rates. Be patient mama. Should he reach 6/7 and the speech is still a problem, then consult a speech therapist

[@lebogangletebele3826]

I am absolutely loving Amanda’s wisdom and insights. Every time she speaks, it feels like I’m listening to a friend rather than a celebrity. Her words resonate deeply with me, and I find myself agreeing with so much of what she says. Her maturity and perspective are truly inspiring. I wish I could meet her in person someday.

[@monoafrica1552]

Mapaseka is a girl’s girl and I love it. I am not a mom yet but i love this beautiful community of momies you are building.❤onwards and upwards.🎉

[@mpasizwane7966]

People are going through a lot shame , if we can be a little bit kinder to each other. Thank you Amanda for sharing your story ❤

[@makhadzikhomolamuifhaglori4485]

if you are watching this and you are not a mom yet, take amanda advice. don't rush this co-parenting thing is difficult

[@Her_Self..]

Pasi's insights on helpers is spot on. If you find your house spotless just know your child cld be neglected. Trial and error led me to realise that u just needs someone who treats your child well. And prayer shld be your bestfriend, the holy spirit will show u the right one. You will be amazed how quickly you will let go of all ur insecruties.

[@goodnessmosehla8362]

"You never know the value or the importance of prayer until you have someone that you need to constantly pray for" that was a bar🔥🔥🔥

[@paulinahmatlala9369]

I felt Amanda when she said “hai I died” eishh 😢😢 death is something else and Amanda’s story is so breaking, when she said Satan came because the same father who was my best father is the reason for my parents death! Whuu i also cried. We are with you mommy and we love you, stay strong for you and your family! ❤

[@thandekadikane6188]

My daughter also had speech delay, now because of the school she goes to she only communicates in English. I'm just glad she can COMMUNICATE and say what and how she's feeling. People comment and criticise not knowing why.

[@tlouchokwe6488]

Thank you for sharing your story, Amanda. I lost my mother 7 months ago, and i think i am on autopilot mode, doing what has to be done to get through each day. yooooh, dia boya! My mother was a mother to my two kids (7 and 3 ) and nephew (9), she raised them from birth and now go sharakane. I started my motherhood journey 7months ago and it has been hard. I hope that one day i will get to a point where i am at peace and life will make sense.

[@lusandamyataza5003]

God will see you through

[@fatimabongidhludhlu10]

What a beautiful show. This conversation really hit deep, especially when you guys spoke about delayed speech in your children. I'm currently going through that with my son, and I thought maybe I wasn't doing right with him. Hence, his speech is delayed. God knew I needed to hear this, knowing that I'm not the only mom going through this.

[@LeeMohlala]

I'm a single mom and I relate to Amanda, I hate how our generation is normalizing single parenting and coparenting when the reality of it is that it's brutal, hard and complicated. There's nothing nice about it and I always say no billions can compensate for the hardships that comes with being a single parent, a child needs both parents. Run as far as you can from pregnancy if you're not yet married.

[@Kaam-v6k]

Me too. I am not happy about it I agree with you.

[@palesas6301]

I agree

[@LeeMohlala]

@@Kaam-v6k It's hard mama but God will see us through.

[@koenakeetse4094]

am even scared to talk about it because we have normalised it, the truth is it's not nice and this children of today are too woke to be raised by single parent or step-parents that are not ready

[@LeeMohlala]

@@koenakeetse4094 It's not nice at all, I hope we smell in time. You'd rather not have a child at all than to raise him or her alone. It's better to be a single parent because the other parent died, that one is understandable.

[@meikikhoele2231]

When a mother departs... a part of you departs with her. I know the pain😢 Askies Amanda❤

[@thatothato-s6w]

You actually become a walking corpse.

[@leratomofokeng5657]

I’m a young mom navigating motherhood alone. My heart is full when I hear of supporting mothers you can reference from. I wish I had that.

[@tebogomashilo6]

amanda is well spoken, love her. and also, as someone who's in her late 20s and doesn't have a kid and only wants to have children after marriage, im glad amanda touched on that. society yona etla ema nyana, lenna ke mopedi ngwana kewa kgomo. im happy i watched this when she spoke about her mom, yoh i got emotional 😭

[@leepilemantjane8391]

Pasi is coming through with wisdom, you don't want to tempt your husband like that. Especially when you go through months of no proper contact with him. Guys? Trust your partners but don't tempt them.

[@victoriachauke575]

54:19 "In this world we just live for memories" This part has just brought me healing❤

[@CandyYu4me]

I saw Amanda at gym the other day and loved her aura just that I am a very shy person I couldn't even go and greet that time we are in changing rooms 😂😂😂so I only find out now that she went through the most I would have given her a big, I love her wisdom.

[@lebontshweng7472]

Recently lost my mom and it's hard.. I feel everything that she's saying. Loved watching this episode ❤️

[@pridebokang3475]

The only word I can describe Amanda is that She is " STRONG"😢❤❤❤

[@shirleymathye3080]

I support Pasi's view on having an older helper, especially the caring and availability when needed.

[@mphomotaung448]

Wow I was so touched with this conversation. When you spoke about being judged for the language your son speaks when people don’t know the background story. I went through that as well my son also has a speech delay and he was staying at home with my mom ( who speaks Sesotho) and we thought automatically he’ll grasp the language and he didn’t until he started crèche that’s when he started grasping the English vocabulary and we were then excited to atleast know that there’s a language he is able to communicate with. Even now everytime he speaks there’s still those remarks and to my surprise the people who are judging their children also know English and are even more privileged and in an advantage for knowing their mother tongue, I think helps them learn better. Though my son is better now but I’m aware that there’s still a lot of gap regarding his vocabulary compared to his peers. He’s nine years but I think his vocabulary is that of a 4/5 years old 😢😢😢

[@kgomotsomaleme1320]

I don't know when last I was so invested in an interview my word this was important this was worthy. I experienced all types of emotions in one hour. I didn't know her father was responsible for the death of her mom and gran, I cannot imagine getting through that trauma it's insane you're so amazing, God is amazing. Thank you so much Ausi Pasi aswell for this.

[@lebogang-d8d]

I enjoyed Amanda, she is so adorable 😊😊 Next mommy's diaries we want to see @Mmatema Mrs G please 😭🙇

[@primrosesebata746]

My baby also had a speech delay until i took him to school at 3 years and it helped. He is now 5 he is now a radio, even tho he is not really perfect

[@boniswatshabangu-cj6jp]

My two fav ladies💕 I have watched few episodes on mommy diaries but I feel I will watch this one over again, I'm really touched and inspired at the same time😔 Thank you sisters🙇‍♀️

[@pearlmdluli5520]

What a wonderful interview. I love how you built rapport with Amanda. I also love how you're able to have fun in the conversation while steering it forward and keeping to the main topic of motherhood. Well done, Mapaseka. This is the first time I watch, and certainly won't be the last. All the best for future interviews ❤

[@Mosebjadi_00]

Not me watching this at work now im teary 🥹 Amanda is a strong woman ❤

Amanda 😢😢😢😢 I'm sorry for all that you went through, I'm glad you found your way back into trusting God even when you don't understand everything. May the holy spirit continues to strengthen you and bless your family ❤

Beautiful platform Pasi. I didn’t know Amanda carried so much strength, what a remarkable woman ❤️.

I am glad that you have highlighted the speech delay topic, it’s so informative and relatable

[@conniemohlokonya]

Amanda this hit me, loosing parents is not easy especially a mom. I lost my mom on the 15 /06/2024 I know the pain. I am so sorry for your loss

[@monenengobeni3728]

Don’t stress too much about language. My daughter was very fluent in Sepedi until the age of 3. But when she started nursery school, she completely forgot Sepedi. I was so worried but I continued speaking to her in Sepedi. Now she’s 9 and for some reason she picked up Sepedi again. But I’ve realised that most people who judge are just projecting.

[@khanyisilemahlangu3034]

What a beautiful watch, thank you sis Pasi thank you sis Amanda for sharing your story. His grace is sufficient, it is made perfect in times of weakness. ❤

I can relate so much ka topic ya bana with delayed speech. My daughter was at home for 3 years and we were strictly speaking Setswana mo ntlung but it was just difficult for her until she started creche and now her English is perfect compared to Setswana. People tend to make conclusions without knowing what we are going through and it's sad😢

[@alebokwenakedi2459]

My brother had speech delay aswell ,he spoke English first because he learnt it from the cartoons before going to school .Now o bua Setswana even though it's not perfect we are so proud.People don't know how much of a struggle it is for these kids

[@moshalamothiba9490]

Ouh! I enjoyed this episode so so much… I’ve learned so so much and yes, going to book my preemie an appointment with a speech therapist, we struggle with pronouncing some words there. I thought because daddy is like that and it could be their thing I realised last month when my mom suddenly got sick and the Dr said is high blood pressure. I could see that this discovery is stressing her so so much. Infact she more sick now than before. We’re taking her to Cape Town in the coming week, she’s been there twice when she was a teacher on a school trip with the kids. She’ll be on a flight for the second time and she’s thee happiest Motherhood can be very challenging. Worse with us preemie families, in the beginning we received more negative comments than positive and with time on grew a thick skin and stopped entertaining or responding to such comments How I wish to learn not to overshare, gape I’ll be sharing le evidence & &… I struggle with closing my mouth, it goes on forever but one day is one day

I am sending my prayers to Amanda. I hardly watch this podcast, but I saw a clip on tiktok, I am also hardly ever on tiktok. I just scroll through it once in 2weeks or none at all. But anyway I am here now. And I feel in me to send prayers to Amanda and her family. May God send through a devine healing to you and everyone affected in the loss of your mom and grandmom. its realy hard to accept such, I can only imagine. But Modimo wa rena aga palelwe ke selo. He is a comforter and his Love is amazing we cant even explain it. May God reach to your father as well. I dont know the full story, however mogau wa modimo le yena omo lekane. Just as it it enough for us. MUCH MUCH LOVE and HOPE TO YOU. I cant wait to see when God turns all this into a testimony you have never Ever seen or imagined. Blessings to you and your family.

[@ElizabethNdlovu-m7z]

When Pasi asked is 24 early? I laughed.got pregnant at 24,was staying with my brother at the time, Boy was I so scared to tell him, let alone tell my mom back at home, surprisingly mama said that's when being an adult starts now you are going to have a baby that will take all of you.

[@mathipeplaatjie6069]

I have never had a nanny/helper my kids are now 6&8 we go with them everywhere Quality time is affected badly , I thought I can take care of everything and everyone but now I am struggling honestly We need more of this hey , nanny helper podcast what to avoid all the things we need to know It's a real struggle honestly

[@goodnessmitileni1120]

Hi ladies, Pasi you're right, she should pray and fast for the nanny, who God brings can never be a wrong person, also a woman of God who will teach your child about God , a woman who has peace, treat them with respect and teach them how you want your household to be, older woman you can sit them down from the beginning and probably jot down some sort of structure and rules of your household
