Disaster in my house and my daughter struggling// single mom vlogs, listen to me vent and crash out!

[@katerodenberger]

with all due respect, i don’t think that it’s right to discuss laela’s struggles with school online. while she is still young, she may find in the future that she doesn’t want others to see or know what she’s going through. at the end of the day she’s trusting you and confiding in you that someone has been bothering her, and sharing that with the world could be quite harmful

[@chyannefode9135]

This. This comment. A vlog is not that important to be sharing confidential info like that!! To a child it’s severally confidential. She needs to know she can trust her parents without them blasting her.

[@crystalstachowiak]

yeah no… she’s no sharing extremely personal information that could further harm her child now or in the future. she’s simply sharing that her daughter is being targeted by someone in her class and it’s affecting her ability to enjoy school. i just saw a video of another mom speaking of the same exact thing and many other parents from that school who had kids in that exact class saw the video and had the SAME issue with the SAME person. they then all were able to do something about it. as a parent, school administration does NOT listen to parents more than half the time. it is our job as parents to fight these battles and sometimes it helps to be able to relate and encourage other parents who have a similar issue. i promise you that her child will see this and SEE the way this negatively affected her mother because her mother loves and cares for her THAT much. she will notice that and appreciate that before ever feeling exploited or like her mom was sharing her personal business for fun. she didn’t even get into the details what so ever. she just stated the problem and that’s it. this is a very common problem and schools continuously fail our children by ignoring them and us.

[@alib69917]

I agree 100% I wish she wouldn’t exploit her girls.

[@katerodenberger]

@@crystalstachowiak i see where you are coming from, but this is exploitation along with many other things that have been shared about the girls. there are other resources and ways of obtaining advice on how to handle the situation without disclosing it publicly. i know that if my struggles as a young child were posted prior to being of age and without my consent i would be uncomfortable. just trying to put myself in her shoes ♥️

[@lornatw]

I don't think she shared anything too personal and I think it's better to just leave functional advice for parents rather than silence them and bring them down with nothing else. I get your point like other kids may watch (but usually that's an issue with teens ages) and make it worse, but I doubt that here. It was such a short part of the video about something a large number of kids go through at some point. It wasn't like she shared specific details names or schools nor made a gossip storytime so I think it's important to differentiate between exploiting vs just sharing a vague struggle and give advice and support for fellow parents. There are 100% things that shouldn't be shared and ways you can talk l about things and I don't see a big issue here specifically. Much love Yasmyn.

Behavioural issues that are affecting your kids mental well-being need to be addressed swiftly by the school administration. They absolutely CAN do something about it. If this doesn’t work you can report the offending child for bullying. They absolutely should take that quite seriously!

[@Kristen_H]

Do not let up on the school until the bullying stops. I speak from experience, and I wish I had done more. My daughter was being bullied by a group of girls in middle school. I kept going to the school, but they didn’t really do anything. My daughter stood up for herself, the teacher heard her, and the principal basically told me that she was the bully. These girls spread the rumor that she kissed a girl in the bathroom. They were relentless. She stopped telling me how bad it was because she didn’t want me to go back to the principal about it. It was awful, and it really affected her mental health. She developed major anxiety and moderate depression that she still deals with today. She is 19. I really regret not taking her out of that school, and I feel like I should have done more. It’s such a helpless feeling when your child is going through something like that.

[@brooklin_bernek]

Sadly this sounds just like my story. My daughter was attacked and she fought back instead of being running away - and she was suspended - I was so angry

[@Kristen_H]

@@brooklin_bernek I was angry too!!! I had been to the school several times before she stood up for herself. I went to the school again, and I was in complete shock when he told me that she was bullying. I knew that she had taken up for herself, but I never expected him to call her the bully. I was so mad.

[@kendramoore3458]

Thanks for sharing and being vulnerable. I wouldn't mind seeing more realistic vlogs like this during the tough times. I think a lot people are going through it right now and even if our struggles are different, this vlog was super relatable and tbh this was just what I needed to get me through today

[@itskaraelizabeth]

Oh girly please don’t smoke cigarettes, don’t let your mom hurt you more than she already has

[@MirandaM450]

As soon as issues arise get in that school and talk to someone don’t keep sending her without a resolution. Our kids need to feel safe and like we have their backs. Make them switch her class something but don’t let her feel helpless and like she has to tolerate that kind of treatment. We wouldn’t put up with someone like that in our workplace we shouldn’t expect our kids to put up with that in school.

[@bevmazurowski7079]

I also recommend contacting your home owners insurance! The most important thing your kids need is for you to hear them. You're doing that very well. Good job. Stay after the school, maybe involve the school counselor to give your daughter and hopefully the other kid tools to use for conflict resolution.

[@its.emma.official]

I get attached to scents as well. Fun fact, smell is highly associated with memory so that's why certain scents remind you of things like home for example.

[@zoeesperanza6704]

Bullying is traumatic. You should most definitely talk to the teacher. Your daughter should not be going to school in tears. I wouldn't put her back in that class until the other child is tlked to, and the problem is addressed... It has lasting effects on a child.. No way would my child be dropped off afraid and upset...

[@amys5669]

I'm sorry for Layla. You will have to make the school do something. Review school code of conduct. If the boy is really bullying her/bothering her and they aren't doing anything, they should have a bullying form. Complete it and request a meeting with teacher, counselor, and admin. Can always request to be moved to another class. She shouldn't have to move. They should move him but sometimes it's better just to get out then try to make them do what is right.

[@Kristen_H]

I had the same kind of leak a couple of weeks ago. Turns out, when we had my daughter’s bathroom remodeled recently, they didn’t put caulking where the tub meets the flooring. My daughter took a shower and for some reason didn’t have the shower curtain inside the tub. Water leaked through the floor and came through my kitchen ceiling! It’s such a pain!!

[@brook.lynmoreno]

Your videos are just the best!! I pray for poor laela!! I hope it gets solved or better.

[@tayladunn7490]

It’s been almost 2 years since my Dad’s death and I feel so empty at times. Just last night, I was looking at some of old school mates and how they are enjoying life and some are now even parents or married. I get really angry when I see they graduated already. I was supposed to graduate this past May but with my mental state and stress, I couldn’t. It was more to it but I just feel like a failure. And because their parents were with them too. My own father won’t be at my graduation. But I know everything is not what it seems though. You’re lucky, you have a family and you have created your own little best friends, your daughters. My dad was my best friend and it just breaks my heart he’s not here with me anymore. I’m dealing with my own stress and anxiety too. Some people have even acted like I get crazy and all but I feel like they’re being hypocritical. Especially my family because I’m the youngest sibling. My mom saying I don’t know stress until I’m her age. I wanted to yell at her so bad and tell her to get over herself. Remember, you’re strong and becoming a mother made you stronger. I’m going back to try to finish college in mid January and going to accomplish my hopes and dreams. Happy birthday to your daughter as well !! I remember watching one of your videos and how hard it was for you, especially people judging you for having a kid young, but it’s always been a double standard for young girls/women so forget them. Good luck in the new year, bye 2024 !! And Happy Birthday to your daughter !! 💖💖

[@amycamburn]

We actually went to Schellville for the first time this year! My granddaughters turned one in September and we wanted to take them to see all the lights and the little mini “stores” it was sooo cute and so much fun! We plan on making it a tradition with them every year! 😊

[@emilynydam4411]

Awe, I feel for Layla… I’m 47 years-old, and I remember in first grade there was a boy who was hitting me, biting me, just cruel to me every chance he got. My mom went to the teacher and the principal and they said there was nothing they could do beyond what they’d already done. So, one day we were outside at recess and my mom came to watch and see what was happening, and he pushed me or something, hit me, idk, but my mom went over to this kid, he was a first grader too, and she said, “Listen, you’ve been told by everyone to stop picking on my daughter, if you don’t, I won’t go to your parents, I won’t go to the teacher or principal, I’m going to come here and do to you what you’ve been doing to her.” The kid never bothered me again. Sorry I spelled Laela wrong… I tried to fix it but for some reason my iPad will only go to the middle of the comment…

[@michelleherring9841]

Happy Birthday Ana and Happy New Year

[@haleyhesselgesser6842]

“I’m having a mental breakdown today so I’m going to bring you guys along 😀” lmao

[@amandalawlor2683]

Contact your homeowner's insurance! They cover leaks in your house.

[@marymacdonald2379]

Keep on the school people, teacher and admin, about the problem child bothering Leila. Find out if they have had a sit down with the parent(s). If they can't fix it, change her school.

[@aprilkearby6963]

Happy New Year everyone 🍷🥳😊

We love you so much Yasmyn ✨🫶🤍

[@Carol-b1v]

Try and sit in the class with your daughter to see what happens when the boy knows you have her back.

[@marybishop955]

Billy did our drywall and he did a good job. Give him a call if you feel comfortable doing so

[@lorisimon2338]

yes, find out what's going on in school even if u have to get it on camera when kids R bothering her. Why do U think kids commit suicide?

[@hannahcombs11]

She likes drama for money, her poor baby’s suffer for her issues for money!!

[@acidfog6806]

Tip: act like you’re calling for your boss that’s a man and they’ll quote/charge you less for maintenance work like that. Sometimes they need an actual name so if you know a man that will allow you to use his name that also helps

Why are you discussing your child’s issues. Your kids have been through a lot do to your actions

[@emilynydam4411]

Her actions? Their father broke up their family? I think she’s doing her best, and a damn good job at that. Her kids seem happy and well adjusted.

[@Nk-qj1ix]

Please stop exploiting these poor babies. Your girls are not going to trust you as they get older. If you want your girls to talk to you as adults I’d really think about why you share them and their personal struggles. The money cannot be worth it.

[@emilynydam4411]

The kids are barely in the vlogs. It’s mostly about her life as a young mom. If you don’t like it, don’t watch

[@kristenstubenraugh6673]

Water always go to.the lowest point

[@sassygirl3311]

Hi Yasmyn! I’m so sorry with all you are going through. I’ve definitely had those days of mental breakdowns and non-stop crying. I found Jesus and realized He is the only one who can truly comfort me. I tried to fill this empty void, loneliness and pain in my life with so many things. They would make me feel good temporarily but it would never last. Jesus has brought me so much peace! I pray He becomes real to you. All you have to do is pray and call on His name and He will reveal himself to you. I promise you will never regret that decision. Sending all my love to you and your beautiful family ❤

[@DestaneySheireMoyer98]

Wild confession but real made me like you more 😅

[@aprilsmith8014]

Maybe want to think twice about sharing your child’s issues at school-

[@louloulouable]

You shouldn't say mental bteakdown. Imagine how it feels to somone who has actually had one

[@meantforlove]

you think she hasn't had a mental breakdown before? she's a single mother of three kids who has gone through unimaginable events since she was a CHILD. mental breakdowns aren't the same for everyone.

[@hannahmize8679]

She is a terrible mom

[@Kristen_H]

@@hannahmize8679 then why do you watch her?

[@hannahmize8679]

@ cps needs to take those kids away.
