I grew up sleeping over at my friends' houses but my mom always wanted to meet the friend and her parents before. Thankfully nothing horrible happened to me but now that I'm a mom, I'm not letting my kids sleepover anyone's until they're teenagers. Their grandparents' houses are the exception. My husband thinks I'm overly protective but my motto is always: don't trust ANYONE with our kids.

Massive difference between being fussy or picky then there is a person who is traumatised. I remember my mother prying my mouth open to force food I didn’t want or like down my throat. Being made to sit at the table for hours on end and being told I was ungrateful as there are children who are starving in the world. Looking back it’s no wonder I now have such a strained relationship with food (and my mother).

Same. I didn't have it to that extreme but in my family (mostly the older generation) would force us to finish all of our food even when we were full. We mostly got verbally reprimanded. I ended up developing a really bad over eating habit and grew up overweight because of that. It took YEARS of my adult life to correct it and now I am definitely a picky eater as to what and how much food I put in my mouth. I don't act an ass when I dine out though lol, I feel like that's a different story and more about entitlement and lack of respect than anything.

Sadly, molestations often happen with the family members and friends that we know very well. It’s all about having that dialogue with your children and giving them a safe space to speak to you when they don’t feel right about something and scream out for help in the event. It’s a sad world out there. This isn’t anything new…we just have more information about it now.

[@sassygurl8615]

When I was in first grade my mom wanted to throw me a sleepover but she knew that moms wouldn’t let their 6 year olds stay in a stranger’s house just like that. So she made a letter with an itinerary that showed what activities we would be doing and at what time and she also wrote in the letter that and my dad and brother were going to be staying in another place so that wouldn’t be an issue.

I am now 73 years old and I clearly remember the first and last time I was a picky eater. I remember my dad coming home from work and my mom getting ready to put supper on the table. Now, we were poor but us kids didn't know we were poor. Our whole neighborhood was poor so everybody was in the same boat. Yes, we were poor, I mean beans and rice for supper on Monday then rice and beans on Tuesday then scrambled eggs with rice on Wednesday then scrambled eggs with beans on Thursday. Fridays were usually a special treat We would have beans and rice again but this time my Mom would cut up a hot dog into the rice I got tired of this and said I didn't want beans and rice again, I wanted something else! My dad kept eating and asked my mom to get me something else. He then asked if wanted my plate and I said no, thinking mom was going to get me something else for supper, I was wrong. Dad reached over, picked up my plate and scraped it onto his plate, didn't say a word, and kept eating. After about 10 minutes of waiting for something else, I asked my mom where was my supper? She said, "you gave it to your dad". I remember saying no, not the beans and rice again, I wanted something else. She told me there was nothing else. Lesson learned.

The next morning's breakfast consisted of the leftovers from the dinner the night before. Believe me, the next morning we had a whole new sense of appreciation for that meal that we did not have the night before. I raised my kids the exact same way.

let me just point out that you were not poor, you just were less fortunate than others.But I understand that might be the poor definition you know.

I grew up in a lowkey misogynistic household. I wasn't allowed to date in my teen years, but my brother could, and sleepovers/playdates were no exception. My brother was allowed to go on sleepovers and playdates when he was around six, and I didn't go until I was 10 years old. I know my parents were overprotective of me because I'm their firstborn and only daughter, but it was frustrating when I would ask them to go to a friend's birthday party, sleepover, or playdate, and they would always tell me no.

Thank you for your comment Kimberly

Sharing/restaurant, meals with others is part of socialising too. Lots of people deal with conditions that just won't allow them to eat everything and anything (crohn, IBS, digestive system issues etc...). People can be so judgemental nowadays that many missed out on enjoying nice time with others out of concern they will be judged since they can't carry and share their medical records everywhere xxx

I’m 29 and my Mom still be warning me about just being in another persons home. Which I get since my mom Doesn’t really know my friends that well. Lol

[@Aya.82]

Regarding the sleepover, safety over memories for me🙃

[@lifeisbeautiful9455]

Growing up, we had one meal a day… my father was neglectful… my mom we had 3 meals before she passed… he had the government assistance he just didn’t work and kept it for himself.

Loni called the children “Designer”. 2:48😩😂🤣

I'm a picky eater so I usually only order the same things at restaurants. I have only sent back something in a restaurant once which was actually this past weekend. And it was only because I had ordered this several times before and knew how it should taste and it didn't. It had a chemical taste to it this time and I just asked them to take it back and off the bill. I didn't order anything else.

[@nancypaopal3]

Wow I like this! Because you see the growth and 360 with Adrianne, at a later episode she mentions that her having a conversation regarding this topic with her mom made her have a realization that it could’ve been too much because it over sexualized men, that she would think only men wanted one thing from her, to the point where she couldn’t have a close relationship with her dad such as sitting on his lap but her seeing her husband relationship with her daughter made her open her eyes that she was raised to see it as weird and not appropriate I think she mentioned that her dad wasn’t allowed to change her diaper.

[@emilyelguera3316]

I would sleep over at only my best friends houses (only had 2 of them.) nothing sexual Lou inappropriate ever happened BUT one time my friend’s brother had a friend over and they would draw on our faces at night, and so we would put the blankets over our faces and sleep like that. One night they sat on us to just be annoying and I specifically remember I couldn’t breathe and I felt super claustrophobic and panicked and thought I was going to suffocate. I still feel traumatized by it when I think about it. I have a son now, and I do not want him sleeping over at other houses because of this, amongst other things.. like the parent’s having an abusive relationship behind closed doors and it coming out around my kids when they stay over. It is more than just sexual assault or inappropriateness. And I will explain these things to my son. I think another compromise is to go on a trip where both sides of parents are present & the kids get to have a sleep over (like a trip to the beach overnight or something like that) which I realize is not always practical.

[@washurhands5079]

My mom was like Adrienne’s mom. I don’t think I was too young like garcelle said at the end. I was able to understand the dangers. Sad,y it is reality.

[@ladyc09]

These colors on Loni!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥👏🏾

[@dancersingerlover]

I grew up in an opposite situation to Adrienne. I wasn’t allowed to have sleepovers or friends over AT ALL growing up, but once I was in 2nd grade I could have sleepovers at my friends’ homes.

[@2sense110]

I say this to picky eaters never try something just once because most the things that you don't like has to do with an acquired taste and also a mindset

[@lifeisbeautiful9455]

Nobody was aloud to stay over.l. Too much abuse everyday, family rarely ever came over. When my mom got away I was allowed but my father nope, and I was a teen… and he took away all of our freedom because he wanted me in the house to cook and clean, like he did my mother. She wasn’t allowed to do anything. My siblings and I were sheltered….It was like school and home. No other activities outside the house. I didn’t spent the night at my uncles one time when I was 6. That’s because my Father had animosity towards his brother so my sisters and I couldn’t go over because they had and we didn’t. He was jealous.

[@CookieFridays]

Oh kids get up to mischief for sure, even just girls. I grew up as such a religious Christian, didn’t kiss a boy until 30, but did some things as a kid with other girls, it’s so cringy to think about now. But yeah, my fear for my future child would be moreso about harassment or sexual assault during a sleepover

[@dulkank84]

Loni looks amazing with that dress and colors. 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗

[@lalyndacobb48]

I literally grew up the same way as Adrienne for the same exact reasons.

[@cheyennewestbrook6966]

When I was a kid I was allowed to go basically wherever I wanted and have anyone over whenever I wanted my mom was like the neighborhood mom. But for me I was such a home body and so uncomfortable being at other people's houses that I rarely wanted to go over to their houses. I would much rather have people come over.

[@Aliciaaa87]

I was picky as a kid and my son is even WORSE then I was. It can be annoying but I'm not gonna force him to eat what he doesn't want because I didn't like when that was done to me as a kid.

[@kojo354]

What i don't understand are the parents who have problems having their kids go to/have a sleep over for one night, but have no qualms over shipping them to a week+ summer camp.

[@deem132]

great and important conversation. love this show so much!

[@charlesjones4094]

Forget that some family are a hard,”No” as well

[@thatamiragirl8019]

Garcelle with the ketchup I’m doneee 💀💀💀

[@dianakistaubaeva9321]

Garcelle her smile is enchanting!

[@teannabell9945]

I love The Real too much they are one of my favorite TV shows

[@ToDaMaxxx]

At least Adrienne can say what most women cannot...she was never sexually violated ever and it was because her mom didn't take any risks. I know a woman violated by her brother and one by her father. I know one violated by several men in the family so incestuous molestation does happen. Prolly more so than outside the house. Shout out to her mom

[@natashadunbar6330]

I don’t/can’t eat liver, oysters, mushrooms, I can’t stand the smell of mustard…one or two other things I can’t think off the top of my head but I won’t even try it…I get physically sick just looking at it. My son is autistic and I can count on my one hand what he eats: rice, oatmeal, sliced apples, chips and fruit snacks…that’s it. When we go out to restaurants I order him a drink…but I bring a plate and utensils and a thermos with his pre-cooked/already heated food…so he can enjoy a meal like the rest of us…

[@bettyhoward643]

My sister is a very picky eater. She will literally order a meal and by the time she gets done she done remade the meal.

[@janwoburn447]

What if there's some kind of allergic reaction to certain foods or being on a lifestyle where there's been a conscientious decision from a variety of diary meats then being picky isn't an option. I appreciate the open discussion of you ladies opinion though

[@sogeni]

I understand if you have medical issues which limit the type of food you can have. For those that aren’t allergic to anything & have no medical issues but choose to be picky just because. I personally like to buy organic food but if I’m in someone else’s house & they have non-organic ketchup, I’ll eat it because 1 day of non-organic ketchup is not going to kill me. Some people can’t afford the highest quality stuff so they’re giving you the best of what they have.

[@alexandraanderson3988]

Yeah That's what I'm saying I think Garcelle was wrong for that🥴😧👀 talking about yes it’s organic ketchup when it really wasn’t!🥴🤭😮 So she probably may not have felt like going to the store that day. But I guess in all fairness I’ll say they probably should or could have brought their own ketchups that was probably organic. If they felt the need to be specific about what kind of ketchup they wanted lmaoo.

[@manasseh7777]

I am a picky eater, I don't like eating out. And I don't even like to eat to someone's house🤣🤣

[@truthspeaker1508]

Adriennes style is immaculate!! Goals as lbs for real! And my mom was the same way as Adriennes.

[@foreverlibra93]

Im a picky eater but not to this extent. I can always find something to eat at most restaurants. In my life there has been 1 time I couldn’t eat at a asian fusion restaurant at a resort in Jamaica. Nothing sounded good on the menu , luckily I wasn’t the only one who felt that way. Even the most adventurous eater in our group didn’t want to try it after reading the menu.

[@PARIS-ARCANA]

As a picky eater i die when ever i see a menu. I can say i do my best to eat things but its just there is a lot of food/combos THAT JUST DONT TASTE GOOD TO ME. I have been trying more and more food though. im aware that im a picky eater and i get criticised for it but with family im like ok just manage with something, with friends im just fricken pick something.

[@geniej1735]

No I don't want my kids sleeping at anyone's house period. There's to many dangers out there.

[@cynthialewis4864]

A could do the same thing for the kids when they go to the restaurant before they even get there they can make special orders for their own kids before they get to the restaurant so that way the kids won't be fussy of what think what they want it's time-consuming.

[@ummokay8782]

I wasn’t allowed to sleep at peoples houses but they could come to mine and if there was a sleep over my mom would let me stay until like 1am
