SURPRISE TRIP TO JAMAICA TOOK A BAD TURN

[@JennirrenUnedited1]

I completely get that sometimes kids hate changes but when you bring your children to your homeland you get rid of pretension, pride and teach humility. Rats are filled in sewers in New York city and a problem even in high end apartments/home. It is not that the kids are acting strange that I got an issue with, is that you are acting like your kids are better than staying at a family home who was gracious to invite you. A lot can change in a minute, it is best you learn and teach the kids to be humble. Don't be the black woman who act like her people are not good enough, or country not up to your standards unless you are in a "nasty" hotel where all kinds of disgusting things take place. The beds you allow them to lie on in a hotel room is filled with bacteria..cause of all the people who lay on those sheets and towels used on people with all kind of disease.

[@paulhaye]

You missed a teaching moment to impart a life lesson to your kids. Life is not always smooth and super-comfy, but you make it work. A Jamaica we come from, we make an uncomfortable situation comfortable, we make it work, no matter what. Maybe the next day they would have really enjoyed the yard space at your uncle’s house. Maybe they might have met some friends whom they could get to know and play with. When I go there, I stay at a resort for maybe 2 days of a 10 day vacation, so my kids can see a goat, chickens, a donkey, a neisberry tree, guinep tree, breadfruit tree, go bathe in a river. And yes, there are mosquitoes, but we carry the bug spray. And the roosters Nextdoor wake us up every morning, and yes, every now and then a lizard crawls on the Wall. It’s funny because my 6 yr old girl child, wants to go pick it up. She doesn’t run and scream and act crazy, and I’m not apologetic about it either. That was my reality growing up in the country in Jamaica. You seem too insecure about your culture and kids pick up on it and overreact. Don’t ever apologize to anyone, or be embarrassed about who you are my love.

Feel sorry for the uncle,and in my own opinion since you were in his house already you should have just slept for the night and check into a hotel the next day. Your baby girl needs a really nice whooping,or just a scold to put her in line because she is very demanding and lacks respect for other people and this is going to be a very big problem in her life unless if she is going to be under your wing the whole time.im not from Jamaica but I wish you could reflect a good side about how people live there.

since you know it is rat infested and rats might carry something then you shouldn't had let them go there. i care too much about the disrespected uncle,every person who watched this video now knows that there are rats in that house and all the other things the young girl was complaining about,the next door people might be watching,just imagine the humiliation.family means a lot to some of us in a way that we cant stand people doing this to theirs.

Why is the mother acting like she doesn't know about life in Jamaica? On another video she asks her uncle about walking in Falmouth and if it's safe to walk about, when you can clearly see other tourists walking about and looking ok. Children will only react out of order if parents show their anxieties. It was shameful that you posted the incident with the so called rat in your uncles house. Shameful to post it just for views. Next time take your kids to Disneyland. Your kids not being use to island life is another statement that really got to me. How much of your culture do you teach your kids about? You only live 3 hours away and it's the first time you've taken them?

[@jojoyah_1236]

I love the beginning part of this video. I took my daughter and my niece to Jamaica when they were 6 and 8 years old. We stayed with my mom in a community in St. Catherine. My daughter was scared out her whits about the bugs when the bugs came out at nights. Every day she would whine about going to the beach. "When are we going to the beach?", was her mantra. We eventually got to go to the beach at Hellshire, Ochi, and a trip to Port Royal. But for the 3 weeks we were there they basically lived a simple Jamaican child's live, chasing lizards and slugs, looking at interesting plants, going to the corner store, and the local church, getting introduced to the people who lived in the neighborhood, and going on small errands with grandma up and down the countryside. Since then my daughter has been hooked on Jamaica. She is now 28 years old and is planning her own trip to JA. You are planting a seed that will grow for a lifetime.

[@lynettebailey5128]

Why would you plan a family vacation and bunk at your uncle ‘s house? You are using USD in Jamaica. First of why didn’t you teach your kids about the island you come from before taking them there. Stop trying to be American, they are you are not. If you told them about your country instead of encouraging your daughter to be ‘bratty ‘ you and your uncle would’ve had a great time together with your kids for free with a t-shirt or two thrown in. My daughter just went to a friend’s house in Brooklyn and she had the same experience. She is from the Caribbean but we don’t have those critters inside of our house, she just laughed it off as I told her, welcome to New York. She is staying for free and happy that she doesn’t have to spend her money on accommodations instead of shopping. My sister used to bring her kids on vacation to the islands and she was happy to explain stuff to them that they were seeing for the first time. They would put their swimsuits on and bathe in a barrel of water, the put boots on and she would get a line and hook add it to a bamboo pole and go fishing in the river. We did not even have to accompany her. Wake up teach your children about your culture, if you pretend to be ashamed of where you come from you are do a disservice to your children and your country.

But I guess your intention was to make a story but you chose to highlight something so insignificant.

[@lynettebailey5128]

toppmax As I mentioned in my previous post my sister whose kids from a younger age used to come to 🇹🇹 and enjoyed time with family now they don’t need their mother to bring them here, they make plans with their cousins. This woman is concentrating on her camera, spoiling the kids with foolish talk and the husband seemed oblivious to his surroundings. It would have been wonderful for them to run around in uncle Jerry’s yard , picking and eating fresh fruits of the trees (free vitamin C ) than taking them to do beach activities they could do in the summer in many states in their own country. Doritos and Lays for birthday, exited over things they have in their pantry. Poor uncle Jerry, West Indian people go out of their way when they expect foreign visitors even telling their neighbors they expect folks from the USA and then she treated his accommodations like crap. Bet he was happy that she left for a hotel. Choose some cheap places that she had to move from twice, il-afford,unplanned vacation. Ocho-Rios is where US folks go for vacation in Jamaica, even 🇹🇹 go there if safety was her concern. I think there is a Sandals hotel there.

It is very difficult to take Pubescent children or a child to an Environment at night where a rodent can be seen running around. As an Adult visiting an uncle in NY, I came across flying cockroaches. I never went back after that night until he moved home. My children started visiting Jamaica from the age of 3 years old to experience living in the countryside and wondering the fields with cousins and friends during the days.This eased them into rural life bothering the pigs chasing the chickens with a promised of hotel life and water sport before leaving the Island. They are now able to appreciate a variety of Environments. Fear is real and can stunt ones Emotional and Psychological outlook on life.

Very spoil and RUDE children, particularly the daughter. Not their fault non-the-less, the mother is simply IMPRESS with the fact that they are biracial, in her mind they are TROPHIES not children. She is just happy to show them off ie. showcase them. Lots of black women in inter-racial marriages have this complex i.e. self-hate. I have interracial couples in my family, some are from that perspective, while others are just real pure connection. On the island, My cousin caucasian husband from Germany use to chill in the yard barefoot, their children respected their authority and trusted their comforting words. When he says it's going to be ok, it changes everything ...a hug, a hi-five and they are ready to face whatever they find unusual, only to end up LOVING the experience.While the "rat" situation was cause for concern, it could have been dealt with differently. My children are Americans and they adjust to any situation. We have always lived in upscale suburban areas. I took them to RURAL Jamaica when they were all under age 9, it was culture shock, but none of them complained, they adjusted, spent a year....and now its their fondest memories. They can't stop talking about picking Guava, going to the river to swim and catch shrimp (janga), going to the beach, making lifelong friends (friendships are more cemented and REAL on the island) Now when they visit as adults after so many years people still remember them from that one year and embrace them, though it took almost forever inbetween visits.

[@4tressfortified]

It's sad to see that you are missing the opportunities to teach your children valuable life lessons that will build their character and help them to succeed in life when you and your husband are long gone. But fortunately, it isn't too late to turn things around, because they are still very young. The little prince and princess that you are catering to right now will soon become royal pains in your life. I would have stayed at your uncle's house to teach the them gratitude, humility, and endurance. You missed the opportunity to model gratitude for having an uncle who loves you enough to welcome all of you into his home. Your children should have been taught that your uncle was giving them the very best that he had and they should be grateful. You should have shown them what gratitude looks like in that circumstance. What lesson did they walk away with out of this experience? You've just reinforced that life revolves around them and that they will get their way in life by whining, if they are slightly uncomfortable.

You should have waited until your kids were a little older and would appreciate the trip more and most people usually book their hotel before you leave home. You have two kids that are use to living a certain way so you have to accommodate that so you knew living with a relative was not the anwser . This is not a time to be cheap or save money. You both work Iam sure and you and your husband could have put 50.00 each month in a kitty for 10mos and used a visa card 1000.00 go to trip adviser and got a package deal for family of 4 that included the hotel and you would have money to spend one us dollar is like 125 jmds🤔

Wow my moms and grams took me to jamaica when i was 10 and you better believe it opened my eyes a lot outside showers, lizards, going toilet outside (i know yall know stepping into the dark shed to go pee) BUT experiencing how my moms and gramz grew up was an amazing experience and made me appreciate things even more...if i ever stayed in a hotel in JA i think my fam would disown me ....i dont think your kids took anything away from this experience

[@barbjones225]

Lovely family! Your kids don’t whine anymore than other children. Looks like you all had fun and enjoyed each other and that is great. Our Lord bless you all.

You say that Jamaicans are not materialistic??? I come from Jamaica and I find it the complete opposite. People killing each other over their poss essions, I believe is quite common in JA!

[@nadialove2048]

Too spoil for me, you and your kids; and your husbands acts like he’s too damn proud, the facial expression on his face when you asked him a question in your uncle’s house, try this again and show your spoil kids where you really came from and how you really lived, it was a joy for me to go to my great grandparents tobacco Smokey house when I was a kid and that memory is instilled in my heart, they both died when I was seven and every time I smell that sweet smelling tobacco the memories of them comes back to me and I thank God how joyous it was to even get to meet them and some of my great aunts and uncle before they died.

[@caenterprisellc6922]

How did Moore know about my trip to Jamaica if he wasn't stalking me?

[@dbess72]

Husband seem so chilled

[@charmainestewart1363]

it's obvious that the kids are not used to that kind of lifestyle so they were fussy. they are kids for GOD sake.four people in a bed is not what they are used to and maybe if they were other kids it probably would be different.

[@ccarelock795]

Charmaine Stewart She said they had stayed there before so she knew the sleeping arrangements. She should have communicated that with her family and never posted it.

[@AlexiaAAHill]

Charmaine Stewart every child enjoys sleeping with their parents at that age.

[@Coa0001]

Listen that's there uncles house if he did not buy multiple beds that could have slept different

[@naturallenatty8199]

My daughter went to Jamaica at 17 months and she loved every minute of it. I'm taking my son who's 2 sometime soon. I born and grew up in Jamaica and people like this are ashame hence why the out of culture marriage. Each to their own but at the same time don't shit where you sleep as mi granny would say lol

[@donnetcordice7608]

What's the name of the hotel and what part of Jamaica are you in? Looks lovely family

[@Mahsice]

You can see that that little girl wasn't raised well, she is spoil and don't know when to stop. Uncle Jerry house is not as bad as she makes it seems, I am sure she wouldn't die by morning to come. They need to straighten her cause her attitude is rotten. I would feel offended if I was the uncle..

[@monadaley149]

If I have kids here in America or any other foreign country. I will definitely making sure he/ she help grandma and grandpa tied the cows and goats out set the rat trap and spray the bugs. Just making sure I spread my roots of how I grew up. And the plus speak fluent patios too.

it's good that your letting your kids get to know their roots

[@kiastar67]

Hey people, constructive criticism goes a lot further than pejoratives and just being mean without any suggestions.I read some pretty repugnant comment, tbh. Children have different personalities, and at that age, they often don't handle change well, especially travel if they were not raised traveling extensively. Hopefully, after they get home in a setting where the children can focus on what mom or dad is saying, they can talk to the kids about what happened and how they should handle it in the future. They were not abusing the kids and parenting styles vary. It is hard to tell from one video, where the kids are out of their environment, if they are "spoiled," or "whiny." I have been to Jamaica often and even injured my back pretty darn bad on a zipline in Ocho Rios in a freak accident. However, that didn't stop from from continuing to visit. I would suggest Jamaica’s North Coast, Sandy Bay (Fly into Montego Bay's FBO)& The Tryall Club which has golfing, sailing, etc. and a kids club or even nannies if you need that service. GoldenEye is really beautiful and opulent, but pricey... but the kids would love it. Some of the James Bond movies were filmed there. It is about 20 or so minutes from Ocho Rios in Oracabessa, St Mary. www.goldeneye.com/ The Geejam Hotel is another very nice place. It is in the Northeast coast at the Blue Mountain (Yes, Like Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee which is so yummy) foothills and includes Frenchman’s Cove beach which is considered one of the top beaches in the world! Here is a link instead of going on about it. LOL www.geejamhotel.com/ Anyway, I hope people leave more constructive comments. It is hard when people judge you on sections of an edited video. Peace!

[@jennifersulbaran5767]

I’m hoping to visit my cousin in Costa Rica me and dad are planning on going now my cousin lives on a coffee plantation in rural area and we are planning on staying with him and his family so there are snakes there but i will appreciate it cause it’s my cousin and I don’t whine I’m 35 I do enjoy finer things but I also appreciate the little things and he is going to take us to waterfalls, volcanoes etc. and it saves money

[@everichards1696]

This woman annoyed me to the core, how dare she expose her Uncle’s home as Bug infested, telling the World about it, acting like she’s embarrassed, forgetting who she is, behaving like a foreigner in her own country, what is that about!

[@charmainechristie7462]

Another thing, from one professional to another, I do understand the importance of stage presence i.e. speaking and acting impeccably so that your audience will receive the information you are imparting. However, you were on vacation and not at work. You could've thrown in a few colloquial words. You would have been received differently. Seen...nuff chat, bun fya!

[@AngiesDoingIt]

The whining...got to go.

that looks like Braco. I love that place. Its one of the best all-inclusive in my opinion.

Claire Nabuline, the lady you were bashing about her speech pattern is African Caribbean not black American/African American. She was raised in Jamaica therefore that is her original cultural background or roots as you refer to it.

[@Binga7686]

I used to dream of the day I take my kids and husband home to Jamaica. Luckily one of our daughters had a destination wedding there was everyone had a chance to see a little part of my country. Many many Jamaican women experienced horrible abuse and hardships in their early life and rather than jump off a bridge they work hard educated themselves and move on. It can be very painful to some to stir up memories of a life they ran away from. Please give a little kindness to this mother. Yes her children need a bit of home training and education about who they are and where they come from. I would recommend family counseling as I barely see her husband and it shows that his cellphone keeps him away from helping his wife when the kids get out of hand. Mom also needs a lot of self help. You can only give your kids what they need if you have the tools to work with. She should watch the Grimwade Family. Their family life is a good tole model for her. Good luck. It's not too late.🙏🙏🙏

[@rosaliebernard8689]

Went to a hotel in New York and had to leave pronto! There were cockroaches running across the pillows. Had the same experience when we went to Disney! Insects and rodents........they just happen to be all over the planet.

[@claudshairandfood]

I’m a new subbie! It was good to see a Jamerican and her family experience Jamaica! I can understand the kids freaking out over the rat and other bugs and such they weren’t used to seeing. Let’s be honest, though! My mum is from Jamaica and she says roaches are normal if a place isn’t clean. Every time she went to Jamaica roaches welcomed her in the kitchen at Auntie’s Place. You just never get used to those critters! Ewwww! She just cleaned up and then no big deal. Being a Jamerican myself I spent summers in Jamaica as a kid and enjoyed myself. When my grand aunt ‘s backyard flooded and the water came up to the back steps I imagined it was a giant swimming pool. I loved Jamaica then and still do now. It can be hot, tho! But the longer you stay the more your body gets used to it! This makes me want to post our Jamaica experience on my vlog!! Nice vlog! You are so patient with your kids. Maybe in the states expose them to camping and hiking and other outdoorsy adventures so they won’t be so afraid when they travel!

[@signaturehairstudio5023]

Next time you should book in a kids friendly Hotel and take tome out to visit family....mybe you didn't do your homework and you annoyed tht hell out of me....maybe uou need to travel outside of the USA more often and teach them dam kids manners...STOP ur BLACK Girl.

[@marlonmalcolm1738]

Trip to Jamaica turn bad?????????????????????! You are very fortunate if you ever know how some people trip turned out you would be speechless. Any way hope you are safe with your family/husband.

[@secreteobsession3584]

I guess the kids are just not used to that kind of life but they need to because I pray that this thing is not that bad

[@yasminm6028]

Nothing wrong with these kids. It is understandable that they would be tired and cranky after a long flight. My kids loved vacations and staying in hotels with the pools and beach right outside. I don’t think my kids would have been happy to have us all share a bed. These kids would have been able to put up with anything if they had had little cousins to play with.

[@RanksProductionsGe]

Nice children more blessings

[@sherinecole3271]

Your kids are spoiled! You bring you uptight spoiled to Jamaica and blame the island for your kids behaviour. I took my 5 to Jamaica and they cried when leaving they didn't even want to come back home . Couldn't finish watching the video

[@yvonnebeckford4929]

Well said Paul haye.

[@Retiree63]

Claire Nabulime, What is a black American supposed to sound like? Just to let you know, black Americans sound different based on a number of things i.e., what their parent's first language may have been, where they were educated & the regional dialect where they grew up. Regarding regional dialects, Black Americans from the NY, North Jersey area sound different than black Americans from the Philadelphia, South Jersey area who sound different than black Americans from Delaware, Virginia, the Carolinas, Georgia, Florida etc., not to mention the Creole regional dialects in Louisiana. Black Americans in the mid western part of the US have their own dialect as well as the south west & California. I am fascinated with accents & dialects. I welcome & appreciate them all. The lady you are bashing, I believe is a public figure. Most public figures, especially if they speak in the media, have acculturated manner of speaking. They are also trained to speak a certain way to assimilate information to the masses. I believe that anyone has the right to acculturate their speech pattern if they so choose. I hope this helps you to understand that all black Americans don't sound the same & they don't have to.

[@falltumbler]

Ugh, so exhausting. I could not finish watching this drivel. On and on about the difficulty and how “challenging”. When she forgets her upbringing what can she teach her children. They’re all the worse for it. Can you imagine telling the uncle, in so many words, that his hospitality was not good enough for her family. Sad...

[@andreacalderin4041]

The spoiled girl got what she wanted a hotel by the water. She didnt see a rat. She wanted out of the relatives house by any means necessary.

[@lisasimmons8943]

Poor babies, we can’t blame them because they aren’t used to that. My kids aren’t spoiled and they too was complaining and crying about mosquitoes, other bugs, dogs and mice on their first trip ever to Trinidad. The people on here with their negative comments are just miserable haters who probably stuck in their country, never traveled, can’t travel, childless, lonely and envious. Bad mouthing a nice family for no real reason.

[@2nsteph]

My first time in Jamaica...I was a tourist in Montego Bay. My second time, I was with my husband visiting his family in Morant Bay. Very different experiences.
