[@GriBlanco]

I hear this segment and I’m crying my eyes out. I miss my mom and talking to her. I miss hearing her advice and giving me words of affirmation and assuring me that things will get better. Even if your mom gets on your nerves, cherish her. You never know when’s the last time you’ll hear her voice.

[@gabrielam6156]

Grisel Blanco I'm so sorry for your loss.. And thank you for writhing this. A lot of us need to hear it. ❤

[@Checo-R]

So very true. My mom was the best. I miss her a lot, but the good thing is that she knew I loved and respected her while she was alive. Don't take them for granted..they are not perfect, but neither are you and in many cases they've given you the best while taking the left overs.

[@BLACKCHEROKEE23]

Grisel Blanco , I did too! My mother passed over 3 yrs ago & we were really close. She was one who didn't hold anything back. I know most people consider that blunt but I love people like that b/c I'd rather someone be upfront with me than be fake. My mom kept it real & I truly miss her & her advice. 😢

I understand why people say that moms know best. But in reality, they're still human. No one is right, all the time. Moms can still be prejudice, irrational, insecure, overprotective, unreasonable, etc. Generally speaking, it is good to consider their perspective. But people shouldn't take their opinions as fact.

[@omphilemoerane2569]

Naomi P I have a sneaky suspicion that she kinda resents or resented him for making her wait 6 years for a marriage proposal but i could be wrong.

[@nikkicole54321]

Naomi P a lot of what she was saying i had a feeling about already. i used to feel like she would put up a front about how happy she actually was in the relationship. Especially when she would talk about wanting marriage but still in a 5+ year relationship not heading towards it. He probably only proposed because of how they would talk about him on the show.

[@khm8762]

nikkicole54321 what did the girls used to say about him on the show?

[@nikkicole54321]

i don't remember exactly since its been a couple of seasons. i believe that they (i think mostly tamar) was asking adrienne about her relationship with lenny in terms of how long they were together and why he hadn't proposed to her about being together for 5 years.

[@nhaliii355]

i understand mothers worry, i am a mother myself. However, my mother didnt approve of my husband at first when I introduced him because of cultural differences. So much that she didnt even show up at my wedding. But I knew my husband was the right one and now hes her favourite son in law...So I dont necessarily think mothers always know best, based on my experience.

[@kelendria]

nhaliii no they Don't lol, sometimes it is their own emotions talking,instead of discernment to use tamera word.

[@JW-qz4jl]

Your mom was judging culture not character

[@lilipurr7228]

Same here. My parents did not care for my first boyfriend. I was 21, he 22 and they were like don’t put your eggs in one basket, there are plenty more guys out there. My mom especially, “ I don’t like his hair, his sense of style, he only cares about one thing etc. “ Well 7 years later, that first boyfriend is now my husband, a teacher and currently works with my mother, who is also a teacher. And my parents LOVE him now!!! Sometimes you just got to push through what your parents believe if your belief is greater than theirs. Also patience is a wonderful tool in this situation !!!!!!

[@janderson947]

true, but selena's mom had to help her through rehab, when her and justin left her sort of brokenhearted so i feel 4 her mom

[@WhatEver-mv6qi]

You will live with him not your mum. I believe it isnt their place at all. I would never let a love go for my mum. I didnt choose my dad either, so let me live.

[@cimalle_0919]

I really like this, especially what Adrienne said. But sometimes, Mom doesn't know best, because they are not there all the time. A mom's gift of discernment is not always fool proof because people are complex and can change for the better. My sister married a guy with a bad past, and my mom hated the situation so much that a wall came between them and they didn't talk for a long time. After my sister's 8th wedding anniversary and second child, my mother realized the guy is changed and said sorry.

[@crystalnguyen2071]

Definitely. I feel like they talked a lot about the emotional factor here, but what if your mama don't like him bc he's a different race, religion, his personal beliefs, his background, his job, etc. Maybe straight up she just doesn't think he's cute and she doesn't want ugly grand babies? 😂😂😂

[@lakeishasmith112]

YOUR absolutely right. My mom didn't like my husband when we was dating because she was jealous that someone else was taking up my time and it wasn't her she didn't like him still after we married UNTIL 4 years later after all of a sudden I needed a lung transplant and he did EVERYTHING and stood by my side every night in the hospital for 3 months and she saw just what a man he was.

[@yoreagba]

Like Loni said if your parents aren't sleeping with him then they have to let YOU be the adult that you are and make a mistake if that what it is. I'm a parent and my job is to be there for my child and to provide her with the security to know that if he does break her heart like I expected but do not wish on my child, I will be there always. My mums parents weren't supportive of my dad and 27 years later here they are still married.

[@EloquentlyEse]

But it would still hurt you to see your kids get hurt, and you would wanna protect them, right? If you could somehow prevent your kid from getting hurt by someone you feel ain't right, wouldn't u do everything to try and prevent that?

[@yoreagba]

SilverTongue Yes of course when it comes to natural disasters, fires, etc, but someone they love? No. My daughter is my child, but she's a human being with her own mind & heart. My job is to raise her well so she makes good decisions, but part of that is trusting myself AND her. Cos I can't protect her from everybody and I want to so while she is a young child I will. But once she's 21 and a legal adult in my culture if she chooses to love someone I don't like I'd rather love her so much she leaves on her own rather than forcing her to do something just because I think it's a bad idea. I've learned this from my friends. I have close friends who I worry about, but I'm not God. I'm not so perfect that I can save people with their own mind, free will, and sense from their choices. I CAN love them though and be there for them like I will always be for my child. Cos there's always the what if. My granddad tried to have my dad arrested to keep him away from my mum and it didn't help. It resulted in a 30 year marriage lol.

My uncle said in front of me and my mom "your momma don't like your boyfriend, but hes a good boy. I can tell he loves you and treats you right. Your mom is probably judging him Until he proves her wrong. But either way, it don't matter. At the end of the day, you're having sex with him or doing whatever with him. Never decide to be with someone based on someone's judgement. You have to learn. You have to have your own heart break. You have to experience this for your future." Needless to say, me and my boyfriend are going to make 4 years in June ! And my mom let him moved in (we sleep in separate bedrooms) because he has no one in this city.

[@xmspachas1638]

chelsea Moore never really heard her say that but I would ask her just in case that's in her priorities. Like I said, to each their own. Don't assume stuff about my mom, you don't know her, me or my boyfriend. Just because you have different perspectives or a different opinion, you don't have to come off rude. I think it's more of a respect relationship. Saying "he can stay but he has to pay rent. He can eat but he has to help out bringing up groceries." I respect my mom. You can think whatever you want about me. But don't talk about my mother or assume what she wants just like you wouldn't want anyone to talk about yours

This is what I said to my 19 yrs old “if someone taking you away from GOD he is not for you” by all mean also a friends. I didn’t have growing these godly talk with my parents. Ever since I was born-again my life about God doesn’t mean I know everything. Yes--Doesn’t mean we don’t eat with sinners. Best things to do pray for everyone listen to THE HOLY SPIRIT. The end of the day we are not fighting against Flesh and blood. Bible said Ephesians 6:12 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Even every since I become Christians my husband’s family don’t still approve me. We been married for 20 yrs. One thing I told my daughter if God wants her to have someone perhaps lead them to God and marriage not just dating or sleeping around. We have trust and obey GOD. We need to pray for each other. Not all us Grew up in church even if we have we have backslide. That’s why this Scripture nail in my heart ❤️ we walk my faith not by sight.

Hmm... one has to determine if it's coming from a good place. Are the parents concerned about their image or the hardship on you? Sometimes parents project their fears thinking you're unable to handle situations when you actually can. If their justification is invalid, express your stance. They raised you to be "xyz", so why wouldn't you select "xyz" in a mate? Trust, believe... support me. Express from your mind, not the heart; be real with yourself. Weigh the pros and cons, and be willing to accept the out come if your parents disagree. Best wishes.

Jane Dough i really do understand what you re saying... i’ve been with my boyfriend for 4 years... after 1 year of being together, he got sick with a serious condition... it resulted in 9 surgeries in 3 years and now he has a pouch which allows him finally to live a « normal » life!we are both 28 y.o...He s so brave and amazing ! Such a generous soul and a giving heart... he s everything for me... Each step of the way, he had all type of complications, long healings, problems... but we fought through, we got help from a therapist, we stood strong... oooh it was sometimes really really hard to deal with. It is such a curse to deal with sickness at such a young age... being for months in a hospital, seeing other people suffer ! But it made us stronger and we juste know that we can surpass any difficulties... i grew up so so much with this « experience »! And became much confident as well... The problem is my parents can’t understand how i can stay with sbdy who had been sick... as you said they project their fears on me(he cab die, you gonna be alone someday, you re suffering for someone else etc) but i love my parents to death and not having their support in such situation, trial, experience is hurting me so much... i m so sadden by the fact they can’t see my strength and how i became a better person... how can someone blame another human being of loving someone who got sick... this is nobody’s fault... i m so sorry that i cause them stress and anxiety... but why can i do? Leave the person that i love ? I would only leave if i dont have the strength to go on anymore or don’t love him, or any problem that can cause a breakup... damn life is sometimes not easy 🤷🏻‍♀️

Yesim I my view is tell your mom that ether she accepts the person for who they are or and I’m not kidding you don’t talk to mom if she isn’t going to be open minded

[@RonnielovesMU]

Thank GOD my family loves my boyfriend! It makes life so much easier.

[@daniellebarrow3123]

they getting deep on this, #realtalk

[@identityiskey]

I loved this one. My mom wasn't like that nor my dad. I had the discernment to know, this is the one and in July it'll be 15 years. When you know, you just know!

[@mysticangel192]

All of them have excellent advice....this has to be one of the best girl talks

[@ArielLM13]

I mean, it really depends on your relationship with your mom. My mom and I do not get along. We are not close. She'd still be allowed to meet my man but unless she notices abusive tendencies, her liking of him will bear no weight what so ever.

[@Wealthybaby]

Ariel Matthews same. We don’t beef, but my old school mom would have more of a say than my actual mom.sadly we just never were close like that for me to make a big decision in needing her approval

[@MN-gg5qk]

My mum has never liked any of my boyfriends. And not because she senses something weird or wrong. She always says stuff like “ he’s not good looking” or “ he “ doesn’t earn enough money” she goes far sometimes. She deliberately disregards my relationships. My dad on the other hand, as protective as he is, he senses which ones are good which are bad, and he openly tells me.

[@ttstephanie0629]

Adriane and Loni your beautiful restless what you weigh. Don't ever let these haters get to you!!! My question is why don't someone just delete them so that you guys don't have to see that hate?

[@MissNickkieJ]

The Real's youtube channel has amazing timing for me...always posting certain topics at the exact period I need them. Thank you so much

[@88Maggie88]

My mom never approved any of my ex boyfriends. She still does not like my current boyfriend of 12 years. Well...she more just doesn`t care about him. She will never be happy with anybody. One was to tall, one was ugly to her (oh yes, like that was her problem), one was to short,....who cares what she thinks.

[@Dilenga23]

Magdalena Ozbolt boyfriend of 12 years? Girl is that by choice? Y’all not gonna tie the knot or do you not believe in marriage?

[@88Maggie88]

Yes it is by choice. Why should we tie the knot? I know a lot of couples who have kids my age and are together for 30+ years that never married. Besides a wedding costs a lot of money that we dont have.

[@yawn1775]

Magdalena Ozbolt 12 years and no marriage?! wow

[@88Maggie88]

Why do you have to get married anyway?

[@yawn1775]

Magdalena Ozbolt you keep telling yourself that. whatever makes you feel good 😂😁

[@StefWriter]

I still feel so bad about Jeannie's divorce. :(

[@rurukays6741]

Awwww Adrienne

[@leggs4113]

Adrienne dug deep this segment. That was a great testimony.

[@denises-a7819]

Adrienne I can relate on such a deep level. Mamas know us the best and I'm so grateful to have one, and to have one who wants the best for me.

[@a-a-ayyye4650]

1:38 "Ok that's a little weird let's move on" Jeannie doesn't realize how funny she is.😂😂

[@jseon87]

Mom knows best!! They know you inside and out. You might be blindsided but mother’s have their eyes on the prize for YOU!

[@KL-Lady]

Not everyone has a nice mum my mother doesn’t care if I cry.

[@ferielabd9513]

This is so emotional

[@theafromath]

Idgaf it’s my relationship. I’ll listen to your opinion but it’s my relationship

[@cassiejones4444]

ItsTheBullSix I agree.

[@jennyeddins7809]

My family hated my first boyfriend who I was with for 3 1/2 years and engaged to. I stayed with him almost just to try to prove them wrong. They were so right about him, but I still feel like I had to go through that relationship anyway.

[@brittanywallace3382]

Very true, but if you start to notice everyone close to you doesn't like him. You probably blinded by love

[@jennyeddins7809]

brittany wallace Exactly! I had to learn that the hard way. Not only did my family not like my boyfriend, but none of my friends did either. We were together my junior and senior year of high school. By the time graduation came, I literally had no friends. It was so sad and pathetic. He always made me feel like everyone was jealous of us, and it was us against the world. I wish I hadn't of been so naive. If I could go back in time, I would rather have my friends than him. However, being in that relationship is what led me to my wonderful husband today, who everyone loves, so I guess it was all meant to be.

[@jasminevaliente96]

Jenny Eddins there's a difference between one person not liking your significant other because they're over protective and everybody not liking your significant other if you're in Tire family and all your friends didn't like him you were blind and that's on you but my mom literally doesn't like anybody I date and quite frankly I don't like anyone she dates so I don't want nor ask for her advice and when she gives it without me asking I ignore it... mom knows best is not always true

[@madisonhartwick8114]

Adrienne, I can relate to this so so much. Thank you for speaking on this topic❤️

[@michellejager5812]

In Africa parents approval is very very important.. So sorry but parents are right when it comes to this type of things

[@marilynj4504]

Are you from every part of Africa?

[@michellejager5812]

LittleBanana This a general thing for most Africans, not every African but most Africans..

[@farisananiangel6452]

LittleBanana She's not lying. It's really how it is here. Even bringing a man home is VERY important once your parents see him you have already secured a marriage

[@michellejager5812]

[@yesicoon4046]

Mexicans too!!!

[@LinLin-te5yc]

Awwww Jeanie’s response was so heartfelt. I felt that 😫😫

[@enterusername2855]

this segment is on point!! this applies with your friends too! my mama always right I'm just stubborn as hell

[@dance4life1208]

i already knew adrienne was saying those things because of lenny..it didn't take a rocket science

[@YPM498]

dance4life1208 It’s funny because her opinions also changed since she got with Israel too

[@youheard03]

Can I ask what things???

[@theechubbyone]

ypm 123 Her opinions didn't change about Lenny, he was a great guy and good to her but he wasn't RIGHT for her for life. She needed things he didn't do and she adapted to make it work but she is very clearly an affectionate person at heart. Israel gives her that in public and privately.

[@ryanamari2233]

of the guys I dated she only met four... and those were guys i dated for 6months or more...two of them are my best friends, one he said something unforgivable and the last he would have been my husband but God had other plans

[@Purelikealily]

ryan tabb yeah Same. Pls share more on the 2nd guy that could have been your husband....

[@ryanamari2233]

I wont go into to much detail because i dont want to cry and (there is limited space lol), but He was the only guy to ever confess to my mother how he felt about me. He told my mother how much he loved me and how proposing was his intention, (not on her front porch on Halloween trying to frighten children but down the line), and it did happen a few months later. Despite him being a heavy smoker which she didnt like because of my exposure to secondhand smoke and the effect it would have on his health, she loved that he was protective of me in every possible way, she gave him the comfort in knowing that no matter what if she were to suddenly pass on or anything I would be ok, I would be safe. She loved how happy he made me, he gave a glow that she never saw before

[@Purelikealily]

ryan tabb soooo why didn’t y’all end up married ?

[@ryanamari2233]

+purelikeaLily he was murdered

[@Purelikealily]

ryan tabb oh wow. Sorry honey. May he Rest In Peace 🙏🙏🙏

[@shimaa7732]

Adriennes upper lip sweat had me distracted like crazy lol

[@miapia7229]

Shima Amiri lol I thought it was snot from her tearing up.. I was wondering why she just kept it there.

[@jamiemickle2642]

Shima Amiri omg i thought it was just me 😂😂😂😂😂

[@jamiemickle2642]

Nia J 😂 yesss i thought her nose was running too!! Like umm you cant feel that?! Haha

[@miapia7229]

Jamie Mickle 🤣🤣🤣😁

[@sheeraabd3558]

I think that was a highlight

[@marianniezayas1531]

My mom has always been super overprotective. I think I also leaned in too much and desired her approval all the time. Recently, I've met someone and I want my mom to meet my bf. I respect her discernment and want her to see what I see. Unfortunately, she refuses to meet him bc he has a child and she doesn't want that for me as well as for religious reasons. She says it's not about him bc she doesn't know him, that it's about me and what she wants for my life. They're right though, it can't be forced and I just have to be patient and give things time but also be firm about what I want. Your man also has to be patient and just be consistent. I've seen myself change for the better though and if you're going through this and come from a good family....just remember your family isn't your enemy. They ultimately want what is best for you.

[@littletiff1000]

I can’t believe Jeannie talks about the break up w Freddie so nonchalantly... (not hating on Jeannie or anything) but wow I’d be heartbroken

[@BeautifulDreamerK]

Tiffany Asians don’t really show their heart on their sleeves. Unfortunately, It’s considered “weakness” if you show that you’re heartbroken or sad. Then people judge you as if you’re beneath them

[@delicatedee23]

Tiffany life goes on. She isn’t gonna be sad forever.

[@littletiff1000]

Guess everyone’s different

[@digthewarmth]

She's expressed that she's heartbroken, and even before she announced the divorce she was crying about the possibility. But like Danessa Z said, She can't feel sorry for herself forever. and she can tell her story to help others move forward too.

[@MrSwagboy90]

It's called the real for a reason

[@purettyzz]

I love my moms advice, the thing is, she doesn’t make my choice for me. But she’s there to guide me and hold my hand

[@AshleyMorgan]

I think what Adrienne said hit me. I was in a relationship my first one and I thought to myself man I really was a totally different person with him. I became irate, always angry and upset about something because I wasn’t getting what I thought I deserved. So yes when you start to feel out of place then yes that person is definitely not for you and that’s more than okay!

[@MiMi-dc9qs]

When it comes to matters of the heart, it really does boil down to what the MOTIVE of the concerned loved one truly is. Therefore, is the advice they give stemming from a place of love OR from a place of fear, envy, pride… which are all derived from hate? It is only when you know this that you will truly know if it is safe to take their advice.

[@kelsdavis5047]

Tamera looked absolutely stunning! Stunning!
