When couples establish financial boundaries, such as keeping finances separate, these agreements should be honored even when circumstances change, as love does not cancel accountability; one spouse cannot expect the other to help with expenses (like a child's college tuition) that were explicitly excluded from the original financial arrangement.

U but yeah, I have entertained the thought of like being 40 and pregnant. And my gym friends, my gym friends were like, "Oh my gosh, you can be 40 and pregnant and like lifting in the gym." And I was like, "You know what's funny is some of my favorite videos are watching really big lifts by women who are pregnant." I just think it's like it's like it's the hardest thing I've ever seen.

The kid had a three-day weekend. That was fun. I feel like >> 3day bender. I feel like we've been going non-stop since Friday at 2 PM.

>> She did, but she enjoyed herself and that's really all that matters.
>> She been on >> on the sugar.
>> She been on the Wait, how did we find her in the back seat on Saturday after the birthday party? She was legit laid out, belly out like she had swam for like eight hours. She had all the treats that she could possibly eat. She ate like two cupcakes at 900 p.m. She was in the back seat just laid out and we were looking at her and she was looking at us >> and she was like, "I'm tired."
>> She was like, "Mom, I'm full." I said, "Girl, you just scuffed down two cupcakes." She was like, "I'm tired."
>> She said, she said, "Dad, I have four Oreos."
>> Those Oreos were like triple dipped, by the way, too. So, they were like quadruple the size.
>> I said, "You doing too much."
I said, "Daddy had zero." I had one because that was and one one felt like four because they were so thin, but they were beautiful. Shouts out to Angel at Rod Rivals cuz her her desserts were very nice. She would sit her ass down.

Sit your ass down somewhere. Your husband doing [ __ ] >> Yes, he was. He did great. It was a great birthday party. Um, but yeah, it was it kicked off the 3-day weekend, so we had a lot of fun. Then we went to our friend's house. That brisket, >> the brisket was good.

I was like, do you want to sell the plate OR HOW DO YOU WANT TO GO ABOUT DOING THIS? Cuz I can make the quick 20-minut drive. It's really not a big deal. Um, >> you know, it's funny you I told my I told my therapist that going to campus I was like going to a family unit. That's how many people was. I said it was nice though.
>> I said it was Coachella in the BBS.
>> Coachella in the BS is wild.
>> You couldn't find nowhere to park and nowhere to sit either.
>> Yeah. Coachella in the BS is crazy. It was not Coachella in the BS.
>> But it was it was really really fun. And then um >> on Monday the holiday was fun because none of my friends had work.
>> Oh yeah. Yeah. So, we got to do uh a bench session. All the girls got together and did a bench session.
>> Go ahead. Go ahead. Come on. Tell us about it.
>> What? What? We all did a bench session.
>> Tell us about your lips. Cuz we >> Am I >> I know that some people's lips were already trash.
>> Okay. Whatever. I'm not I don't know why you think you can insult insult my friends and their lifts.
>> I don't know.
>> Okay. U one of my friends hit a PR.
>> I'm pretty sure that I'm pretty sure that only you and Jen lift some weight.
Okay, whatever. Uh, me and my girls hit the gym and apparently uh so did everyone else. The gym was packed >> and their family and I said, "So, nobody had to work today." That's great. And then you can also tell that all of the people who normally go in the evening since they didn't have to work went in the morning. And I have never seen that gym so packed. I looked out like I just looked out on the horizon and I I did I >> cast a spell. I DID. I LOOKED OUT ON THE HORIZON AND I SAID, "THERE ARE >> OVER the horizon.
>> It feels like there's a million people in here." And so it was what it was four of us. And so I was like, "Now we're being those people that I complain about, you know, when they go in groups and they hog a machine." I said, "But I don't give a damn today. Today I really don't care." I said, "We held that [ __ ] We was probably on that same [ __ ] for about probably like an hour.
>> I'm I get No, when it's me and you, it it takes 40 minutes. I don't know why you do so many warm-ups, but Okay. First of all, I don't I do three warm-up sets.
Relax. I do three warm-up sets or two warm-up sets and a static hold. By the way, my static hold is at 235 right now.
>> That's it.
>> That's it. Yeah. I mean, I could probably go heavier, but 235.
>> See, you need me there cuz you could if I was >> I Well, I don't need I don't need it to be heavier than that.
>> You hold about 285 me.
>> Why do I need to static hold 285? But now that you said that, instantly my brain just said, "Oh, I wonder what that feels like."
>> We could do it. I really did. Um, >> I can take what it feel like.
>> Bye. Uh, so yeah. And but it made my lips, you know, go a little easier. I hit 195 for three, so that was good. So I'm confident 195 for three. So I'm confident that I could probably hit 210.
>> Like I've hit 205. I feel like between 210 right now, like mathematically it says that I could hit 215. So >> I might as well put >> I might as well just I was just saying that. I SAID, "YOU KNOW WHAT? I MIGHT AS WELL JUST PUT 225 on there." See how it go.
>> Did you see how What's the worst that could happen?
>> You died.
>> Oh, I'm not gonna die. Don't worry. The life is trust me. Trust me. When there's women on bench, there's way too many men in the gym who are too eager to come help save our lives because >> Oh, I'm not one of them. Like, damn, she went for it.
>> Bye, babe. Really? Damn, she went for it. Um, but no, that you said that I was saying that I think I'm going to start practicing um, assisted reps >> just so that I can get my central nervous system accustomed to just feeling what it feels like to, you know, press up and down the 225 because I'm I'm, you know, I really do feel like I be holding me back.
>> I feel like I'm my own worst enemy sometimes. Why are you looking like that? Why you looking like that?
>> I have nothing to say.
>> Okay. I be feeling like I'm my own worst enemy sometimes and I know that I am capable of better.
>> All right.
>> Okay. Yeah. Um so really really you're such you're you're such a non-suporter.
>> I support you.
>> I I always tell you you can go heavier.
You'll be like uh >> well because I don't want to like overdo it.
>> Okay.

I just I just recorded my big lift today and sent that to him. But I'm still waiting for a reply. And when he doesn't reply in a timely manner, what makes what I'm doing in my head is the scenario that I'm playing is that he looked at it and he was like trash. Not responding.
>> My scenario is he looked at it. He ain't looked at it.
>> Well, he I don't think he has his red messages on either, so I can't >> I just give a couple days. I'll call him.
>> Give it a couple of days. A couple of days is crazy. What we got today?
>> By then. Um, >> what?

>> I think I think I think by the time they hear this, it' be the It'd be the end of the month. It'd be Oh, no, no, no. It's not.

>> I don't give a damn about no damn Fourth Wing.
>> Yeah, you do. Cuz he's going to buddy readad it with me.
>> Watch.
>> No, I'm not.
>> Yes, he is. All right, let's hop on into our two cents.
>> Our two cents. Um, okay. So, this one says that she needs advice and opinions.
>> I got that.
>> We know. Um, her husband, who's 38, she's 35. Her husband spent 78,000 on a phone game.
>> Oh, hell no. No. Leave him.
>> She said, "I've been married to my husband for two years and together for 6 years. A few months ago, he came to me saying that he had stress due to credit card debt from when he was unemployed.
About 30k is what he told her. He isn't a shopper and doesn't really have bills outside of our mortgage. I consoled him and told him that I loved him and that we were a team and that we would figure it out together. That's a nice supportive spouse.
>> Yeah. Okay.
>> A few weeks later, he told me he had listed me as a co-signer on a loan, but didn't get approved because his score was so low. How you going to tell somebody I put you as a co-signer?
That's crazy work. Um, then last week, I noticed he took $1,250 from our joint savings. I asked him what it was for, and he said it was to pay off our Home Depot card. and because we had agreed um that he would stop paying into our joint savings because he wasn't making uh as much money as he did in the past. So, you want to pay off the card. Friday, I logged into his bank accounts with him to make a plan of how to attack his debt. When I logged on, I found that he had 38,000 in debt, almost from um almost most of it coming from game charges from a game called White Out Survival. Then I found out that he already borrowed 40,000 from his mom and his grandmother to pay off debt before, mostly for the same gain.
>> Oh my god.
>> Uh it's just crazy because my husband outside of this has been amazing. He's my best friend and I never thought that I would be married because I didn't think that I would ever feel like someone was my partner until I found him. Now like my brain and my body don't understand how to rectify the man in front of me is the one who did this.
He's seeking help and attending game uh gaming addicts anonymous. I'm going to take the house out of his name and he agreed. I just don't know how to move forward. Any advice?
>> Leave his ass.
>> I got nothing for you, pimp. That's crazy. Say he's 78,000 in debt.
>> But it's from a video game.
>> I ain't never heard of that game.
>> I've never heard of that game either. We should have Googled it. Google it.
>> I'm not.
Cuz what what's so good about it that it's going to drive you into that much debt? And borrowing $40,000 from a family member to cover I wonder if it's like a gambling game.
>> Look here.
>> Survival. It says survival.
>> I won't buy 2K cuz I'm not buying VC.
>> I don't know what that is. VC.
>> Exactly. Don't worry about it. It's It's in >> Don't worry about it.
>> It's where you use real money to buy fake money to buy fake things.
>> Oh. Is it like um when those kids ask for um V-Bucks?
>> V-Bucks? Yes.
Um, >> I don't do [ __ ] like that.
>> Yeah, that's a that's a scam.
>> Yeah. Yeah, >> that's a scam. You use real money to buy fake money to buy fake things >> that you don't own that >> that you don't own that they can take away >> that they have the intellectual property and once they lose the rights to it, you no longer have it.
Okay, we tried to warn y'all about getting rid of digital games. Y I mean getting rid of physical games, y'all don't believe us. Uh, I I I don't have anything here.
I'm sorry. I don't Leave them. This is ridiculous.
>> That's her husband. THEY'RE ALREADY MARRIED.
>> I WOULD OKAY.
>> OKAY. LET ME ASK you this. I got something. I got something.
>> Oh my gosh.
>> Fully separate everything. Separate your money from his entire.
>> I think they are already separated.
That's why she said she logged on to his accounts. They only have one joint account.
>> Split the stuff however y'all want to split it. But make sure he pays you directly and you pay the bill.
>> Oh yeah. That's >> because you be out here talking about he paying the bill and he not.
>> Yeah. Yeah.
>> And >> oh man, could you imagine? Could you imagine if you gave me the bill money and I was like, "Yeah, I paid the bills." And then you come home one day and you turn the lights on, they won't come on. And then I'm like, "Oh my gosh, what happened? They must be messing with us."
>> I would know.
Bless you. Bless you. Uh, okay. Let's see. Spousals and their um uh money.
Here we go.
>> Another Yeah. Am I the [ __ ] for telling my spouse I won't help pay for their kids' college when we agreed finances would stay separate?
>> Okay. No. No. They had agreement.
>> Okay. I'm a 42-year-old man. Okay.
Married to his wife who's 40 for two years. Uh this is both of their second marriages. He has a daughter who's 17 from his first marriage and she doesn't have kids. His wife doesn't have kids.
We got married. We explicitly agreed to keep our finances separate. We have a joint account for household expenses that we both contribute to, but everything else stays in our own accounts. This was my idea originally because I wanted to make sure that my daughter's college fund stayed protected for her. So, he came up with this idea.
>> Okay. My daughter is applying to colleges now and apparently the fund that I set up for her isn't going to cover everything. She got into a school that cost around 65,000 a year. The college fund that I have saved for her is only 80, which will cover maybe a year and maybe a half a year. Last week, I asked my wife if she would be willing to help me cover some of the costs since we're married and my daughter is technically her stepdaughter. She said no.
>> Amen.
>> She makes good money as a consultant, about 140k, but says that uh she has her own financial goals and that we agreed when we got married that our money would stay separate. I got really upset and said that I didn't think that she would actually hold me to that when it comes to my daughter's education.
I said that this is a different regular expense and that family should help family.
>> Oh, here we go.
>> She reminded me that keeping finances separate was my idea specifically to protect my daughter's money. I said that was about protecting her from potential issues, not her refusing to help when my daughter needed it. My ex-wife found out about it somehow and called my current wife, saying that she was being selfish.
>> The [ __ ] >> My daughter hasn't said anything directly, but she's been really cold to my wife lately.
>> Okay.
>> My sister says my wife is technically right, but being kind of heartless about the situation. My best friend says that we had an agreement, and I can't just change the rules just because they don't work in my favor anymore. Am I an [ __ ] for expecting my wife to help with college expenses, though we agreed to keep finances separate?
>> And the nine of >> the gold story ever.
>> Yes.
>> [ __ ] to a woman so heartless.
>> She's an [ __ ] >> No, he's the [ __ ] >> Oh, no. He's as But he's asking is is um >> she is not an [ __ ] >> Okay, >> sir. YOU SET THE PARAMETERS >> RIGHT >> NOW. The parameter don't don't suit your needs.
>> Yep.
>> Congratulations to your daughter for getting to a pretty good university.
>> Shouts out to her. You did you did something right.
>> But unfortunately, sir, >> she can only go for a year >> and a half >> and a half.
>> Here's my question.
Why did you not go to her mother first instead of your wife?
>> That's true, too. Why wasn't mom WHY WASN'T HER MOM also keeping the same account? Or maybe it was an account they both were paying into.
>> I digress. It don't matter.
>> Yeah, it really doesn't matter.
>> You set the parameters.
>> And he set the parameters based on protecting the money that he was setting aside FOR HIS DAUGHTER.
>> YOU KNOW, WHATEVER MONEY YOUR new wife is setting aside, it may be for your retirement.
>> Could be. No, she set her own financial goals.
>> I'm pretty sure retirement is one of her goals.
>> Yeah, they're in their 40s. Absolutely.
>> Um, >> sir, I don't think she's wrong at all. I think you played your cards wrong. So you thought you thought you was being slick keeping your money to yourself >> and then when you needed a little extra, you thought you could just go to your wife cuz she your wife and family help family. She said, "Nah, Pam, you don't stick to your words."
>> I'm thinking of this family have family [ __ ] Look here. YOU ARE RIGHT. FAMILY DOES HELP family >> when they can.
>> But everything has boundaries, limitations.
>> Yeah. And just cuz we got the same blood or our grandmothers or are or or know each other or sisters or brothers or whatever, tell me I know you.
>> Bye, Maurice. I don't know you like that.
>> I don't know you, Pam.
>> I don't know you like that.
>> Sir, she's not an [ __ ] >> She's not an [ __ ] >> Ma'am, keep your money.
>> Yeah, you're going to have to figure that out. But I I'm confident that you can come up with something.
>> And hold on. Wait, I got something else.
Look here.
>> Oh gosh.
>> To your daughter is being cold to her stepmom because she won't spend her money on her. No, she being cold because of how her dad has framed it.
>> Oh, okay.
>> That's why because he's basically framed it like your stepmom is being a [ __ ] because she doesn't want to help put you through school.
>> Okay. Well, if that's the case, sir, you're an [ __ ] and your daughter's being an [ __ ] as well.
>> So, um, how much privacy are neighbors owed in a backyard fight? I need your opinion.
>> Were they naked?
>> My spouse and I spent a lot of time outside because we have a young kid. We sit in our screened in porch a lot, grill, garden, let our kids splash around in the pool, etc. We're honestly pretty low-key. No parties, no huge groups or people. Um, no blasting music until midnight. We're usually inside by 7 and in bed by 10.
>> Those are good, respectful neighbors. I like those neighbors.
>> Our houses are maybe 40 ft apart and the fences to our yards are basically back to back. So, hearing people outside is just a part of living here. If people are on their porch or in their yard, you can hear their conversation sometimes, especially in the summer when everyone has their windows open.
>> Today, our neighbors came outside fighting. And after we had already been outside for a while, I just ignored it and continued playing with my kid. When I suddenly hear the neighbor yell, "These nosy [ __ ] neighbors won't go in the [ __ ] house so we can [ __ ] talk."
>> Damn. The thing is, we were literally already outside minding our own business before they even came out there. We weren't sitting there trying to ease.
Trust me, given the option, I wouldn't be out there playing uh the floor is lava in 100°ree weather either, but here we are.
>> I mean, yeah, I'd be lying if I said that we didn't overhear their fights before because they fight outside a few times a week. If somebody is yelling, locking each other out of the house, slamming doors, peeling off in the driveway next door, people are going to hear it. We just ignore it and we continue about our business. But I'm genuinely confused by the expectations here. Are we supposed to pack up our kids and go inside every single time they decide to have an argument on their back porch? Now I feel weirdly conscious about simply being um outside at all, which honestly pisses me off because our porch is basically our unwind space and we literally just bought a small pool for the summer. Am I being crazy or is it unreasonable as hell to expect neighbors to leave their own yard so you can argue privately outside?
>> You're not being crazy at all.
>> You're not being crazy at all.
>> Here's my problem.
>> Arguing privately outside.
>> Here's my problem.
>> Crazy work.
>> I would say at least I would see I would petty me.
>> Oh gosh.
>> I would say look >> I would have yelled back.
>> I would have yelled back.
>> I WOULD HAVE YELLED BACK.
>> THE PETTY ME WOULD HAVE YELLED BACK. BUT I WOULD HAVE YELLED BACK. CAN you make the argument more exciting?
>> No.
>> Because because we keep t tuning into into the series every week.
>> WE TRYING TO WE TRYING TO GET WE TRYING >> WE KEEP GETTING RERUNS.
>> RIGHT. WE'RE TRYING TO GET the plot detail.
>> If you guys can just change it up a little bit.
>> Right. Right. Can we Can we >> YOU ARGUED ABOUT THIS LAST WEEK. Is it not resolved yet?
>> No. They they uh they they they effing crazy. But listen, but listen to what he said. You're arguing privately outside, >> right?
>> Okay. So, if you KNOW THAT OUR BACKYARD, LIKE OUR BACKYARD, OUR BACKYARD is the exact same way. It backs up to two neighbors. If we Yeah. four. If we decided to go outside and have an argument, >> literally both of their living rooms are right there.
>> Oh, yeah.
>> They're go WHERE DO PEOPLE SPEND TIME in the house?
>> Their living room. The only thing between our argument and our neighbor is their sliding door >> in a fence.
>> An a fence.
SO, IT'S NOT A PRIVATE CONVERSATION. If we decide to TAKE OUR ARGUMENT OUTSIDE IN PUBLIC, >> that's for and then for you to yell, the [ __ ] neighbors won't go inside so we can [ __ ] talk. NO, BECAUSE I'M ON MY [ __ ] PROPERTY. Go inside of yours.
>> THERE'S A CLOSET. WE'VE ARGUED IN THE CLOSET BEFORE.
>> Go to the [ __ ] CLOSET LIKE EVERYBODY else does.
>> Argu in the closet.
>> We don't don't >> Oh, she was sleeping with me.
>> Yes.
>> I didn't want her to hear >> the >> So, we closed the bedroom door. Then we went into the closet and we closed that door.
>> The things we do to protect her. She don't deserve us.
>> Well, bye.
>> I mean, we have disagreements in front of her now. But I think that's also important because we also have reconciliation in front of her, too. Um, but yeah, I think >> such a good marriage.
>> She get on my damn nerves, but I love her.
>> Um, >> no. Uh, yeah.
>> Yeah, it's No, you're not.
>> You wasted your time writing that [ __ ] >> Yeah, that's No, you're not wrong. And you know you're not wrong, but we appreciate it. Um, am I overreacting if I break up with my boyfriend in the morning?
>> Probably not. Let's get into it.
>> Um, a few weeks ago, my boyfriend got mad at me. I don't even remember the reason. It was something stupid. Uh, and he proceeded to drink a whole bottle of whiskey and get blackout drunk. I was honestly scared for my life. He wouldn't respond to me. He was vomiting and was um overall just not well. I told myself that night that I'm not dealing with that again. I won't live with a drunk and I will not subject myself to that type of behavior. That's good for you.
>> Tonight, he got mad at me again over a video game. There goes those damn video games again.
>> Don't look at me. Um, he must have drank another bottle because at 3:00 a.m. I woke up and heard groaning and grunting coming from the living room. So, I ran inside. He wouldn't respond to me again.
He was laying on the couch in vomit and his underwear had piss on them. It's all over the couch. I called my family member and while my brother was on his way, I heard a thud and he fell off the couch and was dry heaving, still not responding. I managed to get him on his side. In the midst of all this, he somehow got back on the couch and took all of his clothes off, so he was naked.
I nearly called 911. My brother has been here for the last hour counting his breaths and taking his temperature. I'm so embarrassed and scared. I don't want this life. He clearly has a problem. Am I supposed to get him help first? Is this my responsibility? Am I supposed to fight for this with him for giving up or can I just break the lease and go back home? I don't want this life sitting here staying awake to make sure he's okay. It's terrifying and I deserve so much more and so does he. Am I wrong?
>> No. No, >> girl. No. You're You're seeing the red flag. AND YOU YOU'RE COLOR. SHE KNOWS HER COLORS.
>> CONGRATULATIONS. You know your colors.
Welcome. You know your colors. Good for you. Follow your first thought. The thought that you're having right now.
>> This is what I say. Do >> leave.
Wait, wait till Pissy wake up.
>> Bye. Wait till he's conscious and responding and then just gently let him know.
>> But wait till he wake up so he can see the mess around him. Don't for [ __ ] >> Yeah.
>> Let him see the mess around him and say, "And this is why I'm leaving."
>> Mhm. I can't do this. I don't want to.
Because if you're doing this now, don't It's only going to get worse if I stay around. Yeah. Like he and and he wants to get drunk. Like there's a difference between drinking to like relax or socially and then when you drink to black out.
>> How would you know? Are you drink?
>> I used I used to drink socially when I was younger. I used to drink socially. I was never a big drinker, but I used to drink socially. Who knows? Maybe I'll decide again at 50 to drink. I don't know.
>> 50 is crazy.
>> It's not. Um, let's see.
>> Last one.
>> Am I the Yes. Am I the [ __ ] for not wanting to babysit?
>> No.
>> Probably not.
>> No, we ain't got to read this.
>> Probably not.
>> No.
>> My brother brings my niece and nephew almost every day, three and one, because they have plans almost every day.
parties, shopping. His wife gets upset when I can't watch them. It gets really exhausting to watch both of them. Um, I do like taking care of them, though. His wife is constantly going out with her friends or just going shopping, and my brother at the same time doesn't want to watch them. There has been times where I have talked with them about it, but it feels as if nothing really changes. I've gotten in a couple of fights with his wife, too, for not letting her know that I'm not home because at the same time, they also never call to tell me that they're bringing the kids over.
>> Please.
>> The lack of clarification leaves me confused and I'm unsure at the point uh what to do because I don't want to babysit almost every day. I do understand that life does happen and that they have to go shopping, but it needs to come to an end at some point because now I'm unsure of how to confront them without it leading to a massive argument. They will think that I don't like babysitting. I have both school and work as well. Am I the [ __ ] for not wanting to babysit them?
>> [ __ ] no.
>> First of all, how inconvenient are you >> to just drive to someone's house and drop your kids off even if it is family?
No.
>> You just show up.
>> But you Here's the thing. Do you know why they do that?
>> Because she allows it.
>> Cuz she allows it. She has to set a boundary.
>> Here's my Here's my thing.
>> Put up a fence. Set a boundary. Say something.
>> I let them know this. You got to call me before you bring the kids over here if I'm You got to ask >> and call in that >> and if I'm free, I will watch them. And the next time they bring them kids over there, don't >> I'm looking at you from the lines. Yeah.
>> And if they leave them outside, call the police and call CPS.
>> Yep. Yep. Cuz that's just And then she not doing nothing. She just hanging out with her friends. She like, "Let me go drop these kids off so I can live my best life."
>> People appropriating that don't want to HAVE KIDS. LIKE HOW DO YOU HOW DO YOU HAVE KIDS AND NOW YOU WANT TO LIVE YOUR LIFE? YOU SUPPOSED TO LIVE YOUR LIFE BEFORE you have the kids >> because the kids make them realize that the life that they had before wasn't so bad.
>> Okay, >> that's what it was.
>> And they was like, you know what? Being on my own, it wasn't so terrible cuz now I got to be with you 24/7 and you always want something and you always hungry.
Let me find you a sitter I can drop you off with. It's just really sad that there's so many people out there that are here that can't have kids and then oh that trust >> and then you got to deal with people that don't really want kids.
>> That's that's one of the things that really grinds my gear that that just like grinds my gear is you do have so many people out there who wish they could like have a family, start a family, and then you have people who do it and it appears like they take it for granted sometimes, you know. Um you I mean that's just >> stop. Wait, WAIT A MINUTE. DON'T BE shooting them. They take that [ __ ] for granted.
>> Not all of them.
>> I'M SO TIRED. SO, HOW YOU GIVING PEOPLE SLACK?
>> NO, I DON'T BELIEVE ALL OF THEM TAKE IT FOR GRANTED. I do think that sometimes people can get sidetracked mentally.
>> Stop putting suspenders on situations.
>> Okay. Okay. Whatever you say, sir.
Whatever you say. I think that people sometimes can lose sight, >> okay, >> of things that are important to them.
>> That's possible.
It's not that they don't care about their kids.
>> They just care more about themselves.
>> No, I said I said what I said. I said >> their time.
>> Okay.
>> Their time.
>> And all kids ask of you is time.
>> Exactly. You're right about that.
>> I said what I said.
>> Um Okay.
>> Comment of the week.
>> Uh where's the comment of the week? Oh, over here. Sorry. Looking at the wrong screen. My bad.
>> You got to say it.
>> Oh, the comment of the week.
>> Comment of the week, people. She messed it up.
>> The comment of the week.
>> I'm not going to cut none of that out either cuz she messed it up.
>> Sorry. The comment of the week people have two comments this week and they both >> come from the post about grandma not want to watch them toddlers.
>> That was funny. Her son was being selfish though.
>> That middle boy. I think it was the middle boy. I don't know. Was young. I don't know which one it was.
>> She watched his kids and then she he started getting upset that she was watching the younger brother's kids and not his.
>> He had he had a toddler. The young one had three toddlers. He had two toddlers.
>> Yeah. Two toddlers. And his brother has a newborn. had a newborn and it was >> and the mother still works.
>> Don't forget that. From home.
>> So, the first comment comes from life with Lenora. Now, this I think this is her second or third time. She be there.
She cracking me up. And also, I'm a little biased because Monte Neighbors was Lenor and I miss her. So, it is what it is. Lenora, you lucky. Uh, she said, "Best comment. Oh, I want to cuss him out." Now, look here. I did. I wanted to cuss him out, but I was trying to be respectful because of the booy that wrote in and my wife told me.
>> I'm sure I'm sure grandma wants to cuss him out, too.
>> But she >> cuz he was being hella ungrateful.
>> Grandma not going to cuss him out and that's a problem.
>> She should.
>> She need to she need to tell him go out in the backyard and get three them sticks and he's a grown man. He is not going to go take >> watch my grandfather beat my auntie at 40. That don't mean [ __ ] >> That's crazy that she sat there and took it.
>> Who? But she wasn't going to do nothing back to him cuz we would have hit her ass.
>> No, she just would have left. She's 40.
>> Okay. She got that She got that whooping.
>> Bye, Maurice.
>> She got that whooping.
>> She got that whooping. She stayed there.
>> And the next comment comes from Miss Beautiful.
And she says, "Todddlers and tiny humans playing Final Destination with life and we have to protect them from themselves.
A newborn eat, [ __ ] sleep, maybe even be held for a little bit." Now look here. Yes, >> it was the plain and final destination for me >> because that's how toddlers are >> because >> that's how toddlers are.
>> That is the most accurate.
>> That's how toddlers are >> because toddlers don't give a damn about nothing.
>> They don't have the sense of like caution and fear like that. Not all of them. Some of them do. Not all of them, but some of them will look at the couch and be like, "You know what? Let's jump off the BACK OF IT."
>> TYLER'S jumping from the roof. I don't We don't even know how they got up there.
>> How did you get Why DID YOU LEAVE THE HOUSE?
