- 0:00Speaker 1: You think it's okay for a step child to be
- 0:02Speaker 1: dissat by that step parent.
- 0:04Speaker 2: Now, my father, I would I didn't even know he.
- 0:07Speaker 1: Was my stepfather, so that would have it would have
- 0:09Speaker 1: just been once I found out he's my stepfather, it
- 0:11Speaker 1: was kind of hard for me to take an ass
- 0:14Speaker 1: whooping from.
- 0:15Speaker 3: But it wasn't hard for you to give him a reason.
- 0:18Speaker 1: I looked at him differently when he hit me and
- 0:20Speaker 1: I found out that he was he was my real father.
- 0:22Speaker 2: But he took care of you. Yeah, yeah, he hit
- 0:25Speaker 2: me harder than he did everybody else, though, but you
- 0:27Speaker 2: probably did.
- 0:28Speaker 3: You not deserve it. I mean, I know some of
- 0:30Speaker 3: your stories. I've even a couple of excerpts from your
- 0:33Speaker 3: upcoming books.
- 0:34Speaker 1: It sounds like feeling prophecies because was I bad because
- 0:38Speaker 1: of my circumstances or was I bad because because I
- 0:42Speaker 1: firmly believe it's not the child that starts off being bad.
- 0:46Speaker 2: I think that you you know, I believe them.
- 0:49Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 0:51Speaker 3: Well, my thing is, I don't care where it came from.
- 0:53Speaker 3: I think it's not where you're from, it's where ye at.
- 0:55Speaker 3: So to me, I'm just saying you're acting up, you know, Yeah,
- 1:01Speaker 3: I agree, I think.
- 1:02Speaker 1: I don't think you had the right. He is knocking
- 1:04Speaker 1: my mama off and he had the.
- 1:05Speaker 5: Right to do.
- 1:06Speaker 2: My God, is that the over here? I love him?
- 1:12Speaker 1: I love him, I did, but h and I didn't
- 1:14Speaker 1: look at him differently? Skip, you gotta you've got a
- 1:19Speaker 1: couple of daddies. Do you think that that the step
- 1:25Speaker 1: parents should be able to up their step child?
- 1:28Speaker 2: Uh? Do you think that's so?
- 1:30Speaker 6: Here's the thing in this particular situation, the father of
- 1:32Speaker 6: the child gave his new wife permission to handle business.
- 1:36Speaker 2: So that what mama?
- 1:39Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, definitely, yeah, yeah, yeah, I said before
- 1:42Speaker 1: we had to snare with the woman.
- 1:43Speaker 2: Yeah yeah yeah. So he was like, I ain't here.
- 1:45Speaker 2: This chick is disrespectful. She's my daughter. You got permission
- 1:48Speaker 2: to put them palls on them?
- 1:50Speaker 4: Okay?
- 1:50Speaker 2: I bet you? What if you want a new car
- 1:52Speaker 2: or dress or something something to eat? You want me?
- 1:54Speaker 2: You want to go to Disneyland? I bet you asked
- 1:56Speaker 2: me for some money? I bet you.
- 1:58Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:58Speaker 1: I think that if that parent loves that child, or
- 2:03Speaker 1: even if they don't love them and they're raising them, well,
- 2:06Speaker 1: then you put yeah, I think so you think it's
- 2:09Speaker 1: okay for a step child to be dissay by that
- 2:12Speaker 1: step parent there. This is pretty a pretty a fairly
- 2:18Speaker 1: occurring phenomenon right there. Family, blended families and all that
- 2:21Speaker 1: kind of stuff.
- 2:21Speaker 2: I think so for sure.
- 2:24Speaker 1: And I think one of the quickest ways to make
- 2:26Speaker 1: people feel a part of the family is to knock
- 2:29Speaker 1: the head on them, just like you would your real kids.
- 2:31Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what I mean. Stepped into this family
- 2:34Speaker 2: step in.
- 2:37Speaker 3: Right, right, it's like equal opportunity distributing equally around here.
- 2:44Speaker 1: Your daddy's handing out headaches, you better go get you one.
- 2:51Speaker 3: But I also think if you if you don't have
- 2:53Speaker 3: that ability or that room, I think it can it
- 2:56Speaker 3: can break your marriage up, absolutely because you have that
- 3:00Speaker 3: kid who's bad anything. Absolutely, that's what your real daddy left. Yeah,
- 3:06Speaker 3: you can't invite people over because the kids acting up
- 3:08Speaker 3: the grocery store. You got the baby and then she's
- 3:10Speaker 3: just throwing.
- 3:11Speaker 1: But I was my father. I was born to my
- 3:13Speaker 1: father like I was when I was born. I was
- 3:15Speaker 1: his like I never knew anybody else, like he was
- 3:19Speaker 1: when I was born. He was with my mother when
- 3:22Speaker 1: I was born, so I didn't he was even biologically
- 3:25Speaker 1: was my father.
- 3:26Speaker 2: He was my father, you know. What I mean.
- 3:28Speaker 1: But I didn't know my real father's family was rich.
- 3:31Speaker 1: Otherwise I left that long long time ago. I spent
- 3:36Speaker 1: all this time rehaving your last name and you're crazy.
- 3:42Speaker 1: My property brothers this last name, and you know what
- 3:44Speaker 1: happened not to Misserable.
- 3:47Speaker 2: How does it make the real kids feel? You know,
- 3:49Speaker 2: they get Yeah, and the.
- 3:52Speaker 1: Real kids they are real kids.
- 3:55Speaker 2: Well, I mean yeah, not these AI kids.
- 4:06Speaker 4: Not there.
- 4:06Speaker 2: We don't have.
- 4:10Speaker 1: You think your stepparent should be able to discipline the stepchild.
- 4:12Speaker 1: That's the question with posing to we gonna write their phones.
- 4:15Speaker 5: The mama don't have in the home train because when
- 4:18Speaker 5: we was coming up, you respect everybody, regardless who it was.
- 4:22Speaker 5: And the daddy said of such to tie down. Told look,
- 4:25Speaker 5: this is who I'm with. This is my wife. Either
- 4:28Speaker 5: you respect her or we're gonna have problems. And I
- 4:31Speaker 5: will tell his girlfriend asks for whoever it is, Hey,
- 4:35Speaker 5: you just gonna have to accept this. I have plenty
- 4:38Speaker 5: of ends and out. I never had a problem with
- 4:41Speaker 5: anybody kids, because you talk to them to make them understand.
- 4:46Speaker 5: But the mama's the one that got the problem. That's
- 4:48Speaker 5: why they tried. At the way she acts towards that the.
- 4:52Speaker 7: Stepmom because of the mother.
- 4:54Speaker 4: I've been a stepfather for about ten years now, and
- 4:58Speaker 4: I don't quite agree with a stepparent whooping that stepchild.
- 5:02Speaker 4: And my reasoning for that is because I say that
- 5:05Speaker 4: because I just don't agree with it. Like anytime I
- 5:08Speaker 4: have any problem with my stepchildren, I immediately go to
- 5:11Speaker 4: my wife or I call their father. I mean, that's
- 5:14Speaker 4: not my place. I didn't help make them. I've helped
- 5:18Speaker 4: raise them, true enough, but I just don't feel comfortable
- 5:21Speaker 4: putting my hand on my step daughter. That's not my place.
- 5:24Speaker 4: And I mean, I don't know, that's just me.
- 5:27Speaker 8: No, I do not think a step parent or a
- 5:30Speaker 8: girlfriend should be able or boyfriend should be able to
- 5:33Speaker 8: discipline another person child, especially when they specifically act no,
- 5:38Speaker 8: because then that's their right to say. As a current, No,
- 5:41Speaker 8: I don't want nobody put in their hands on my child.
- 5:43Speaker 8: And if my child do something, yeah, let me correct them.
- 5:46Speaker 8: As far as living with, I do agree on the
- 5:49Speaker 8: aspect when you say that if I can't discipline this child,
- 5:52Speaker 8: then a child can't be in my house. True, So
- 5:54Speaker 8: then that other current is the man up and take
- 5:56Speaker 8: care of that child. If nobody can't la you know
- 5:59Speaker 8: if they cannot discipline in that child, because you're right,
- 6:02Speaker 8: you can't let somebody just terrorize your home.
- 6:04Speaker 9: That's how needs a spanking, Then you're gonna get one.
- 6:07Speaker 10: Period.
- 6:09Speaker 9: This is a lot of times. This is why you
- 6:12Speaker 9: have single men and single women who don't want to
- 6:15Speaker 9: be bothered with people who have children to start with,
- 6:18Speaker 9: because they're not allowed to discipline. But I'm paying bills,
- 6:22Speaker 9: you're living under my roof, and you need that butt whip,
- 6:25Speaker 9: You're gonna get it. That's it.
- 6:27Speaker 5: Discipline absolutely, chest ties, absolutely not.
- 6:31Speaker 7: Do you know how many kids get abused by permission?
- 6:34Speaker 10: Not at all?
- 6:35Speaker 7: Can't give up no permission?
- 6:36Speaker 4: No, that's not okay.
- 6:37Speaker 8: You can discipline them, but you don't chest chase my child,
- 6:40Speaker 8: don't put chands.
- 6:41Speaker 9: On my child.
- 6:42Speaker 11: Hey, yeah, it should be okay as long as the
- 6:45Speaker 11: child has been hit on their backside, their butt.
- 6:48Speaker 10: And no bruises are left, why shouldn't it be okay?
- 6:51Speaker 10: I'm all for it.
- 6:52Speaker 12: Yeah.
- 6:52Speaker 7: We used to have a billit raising the children. Now
- 6:55Speaker 7: it's just individual people, so now yeah, it's.
- 6:58Speaker 10: Okay, it should be okay.
- 7:00Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 7:00Speaker 7: I experienced having a step parent as I was growing up,
- 7:05Speaker 7: and I just in my opinion. I feel like it
- 7:08Speaker 7: takes a village to raise a child.
- 7:10Speaker 8: However, if the mom or the dad has asked you
- 7:15Speaker 8: not to let your.
- 7:16Speaker 7: Significant other put their hands or their child, I think
- 7:20Speaker 7: you should respect that.
- 7:22Speaker 2: So the question we're asking Lendjum hits the scenario something
- 7:25Speaker 2: I don't condone.
- 7:26Speaker 13: And I told him that I don't want nobody to
- 7:28Speaker 13: putting their hands on my daughter but me because I'm
- 7:29Speaker 13: the mother.
- 7:30Speaker 2: So what makes you feel like you could do that? Understood?
- 7:32Speaker 13: First off, it was something you trul between me and
- 7:35Speaker 13: the father because your daughter was being disrespectful.
- 7:38Speaker 10: She could Okay, this is my theme.
- 7:39Speaker 13: My daughter is not disrespectful, and even if she wasn't disrespectful,
- 7:42Speaker 13: I told him to not let nobody to put.
- 7:44Speaker 3: Their hands on my daughter.
- 7:45Speaker 13: Okay, at the end of the day, your daughter's not
- 7:47Speaker 13: disrespectful to you because you're her mother, and.
- 7:49Speaker 2: I guess the ways that she's learning you're teaching her.
- 7:51Speaker 7: However, to tell you got.
- 7:54Speaker 13: That say that can't talk together, we see together together.
- 8:02Speaker 2: But what I'm telling you is valiant.
- 8:03Speaker 13: I'm okay, so why you let her put her hands
- 8:05Speaker 13: on her?
- 8:05Speaker 4: Order?
- 8:06Speaker 13: Because you know what I'm doing here. I'm checking your
- 8:08Speaker 13: wife because she feels like she got out started to.
- 8:10Speaker 2: Put her hands on my starting right there. Because first off,
- 8:13Speaker 2: she was being disrespectful, disrespectful, I gave her.
- 8:17Speaker 13: Why did you no, no, why did you displan her?
- 8:19Speaker 8: Now I'm not.
- 8:20Speaker 3: Talking to you right now.
- 8:21Speaker 2: Why did you discipline her? Because you're the damn daddy because.
- 8:24Speaker 11: I wasn't here.
- 8:25Speaker 13: Okay, well, next time.
- 8:27Speaker 2: Call me or something.
- 8:28Speaker 1: You think a step child should be able to be
- 8:30Speaker 1: disciplined by steppairent go right to the phones that.
- 8:34Speaker 10: But that's my thought.
- 8:36Speaker 12: Been there, done that, and I think you just need
- 8:38Speaker 12: to go ahead and and let that mother, that sept
- 8:42Speaker 12: mom know that uh hey, she is in charge of
- 8:45Speaker 12: that child when that child is.
- 8:46Speaker 4: With her, so yes, take her down.
- 8:49Speaker 14: Well, I don't believe in corporate punishment on no left,
- 8:52Speaker 14: but I have two grown kids, forty two and forty six.
- 8:56Speaker 14: They're very successful. I'm there biological paring and I again
- 9:00Speaker 14: either of them. Now, I think step parents should have
- 9:04Speaker 14: that decision done before they get married. Are you going
- 9:07Speaker 14: to hit my child? I don't allow nobody to hit
- 9:10Speaker 14: my child. That should be set up before the marriage.
- 9:14Speaker 8: It's the other parent is active. The stepparent has no right.
- 9:18Speaker 13: To touch that child, especially if the other parent is actor.
- 9:21Speaker 13: That is up to you in this case the dad to.
- 9:23Speaker 7: Handle that situation is give the two moms, the stepmom
- 9:26Speaker 7: and the extual mom if they don't have a relationship
- 9:29Speaker 7: like that.
- 9:29Speaker 13: Me I am a step parent and there are times
- 9:33Speaker 13: I would call their mother a we had that type
- 9:35Speaker 13: of relationship and I'm like, this is what's going on?
- 9:38Speaker 8: Boot the U and then they handle it. Or in
- 9:41Speaker 8: the case of I could go to the dad.
- 9:42Speaker 2: I can go to either parent when it's not like
- 9:44Speaker 2: my biological child. But we don't have that issue.
- 9:47Speaker 8: So I think the parents need to work on their
- 9:49Speaker 8: communication and their relationship.
- 9:51Speaker 7: But at the end of the day, you.
- 9:53Speaker 8: Don't need to put no hands on no child. They
- 9:54Speaker 8: ain't come out of you.
- 9:55Speaker 7: As a female, I have a daughter and you do
- 9:59Speaker 7: have a step and I told the stepfather if whoever
- 10:02Speaker 7: your life put your heads on my kid.
- 10:04Speaker 10: We gonna have a personal fault. But your stepfather did
- 10:07Speaker 10: call my phone and he told me, mall and look,
- 10:10Speaker 10: this is what happened. I walked home, open the door.
- 10:14Speaker 10: Your daughter's inside the house with.
- 10:15Speaker 7: A with a fourteen old boy. He took the boy
- 10:19Speaker 7: out and he called me and I told him to
- 10:22Speaker 7: whoop clients, and when I got there, I will pass
- 10:25Speaker 7: and certain stuff you can do and certain stuff you
- 10:27Speaker 7: take them. And to that mother who said, oh, my daughter,
- 10:30Speaker 7: don't be disrespectful. You don't know how your daughter is
- 10:34Speaker 7: when you're not around, I.
- 10:36Speaker 6: Feel like it really depends on if the step parent
- 10:39Speaker 6: is married to the step of the stepparent at night.
- 10:41Speaker 6: If I got married, don't touch my child. But I
- 10:43Speaker 6: got married, and okay, like you just he's just as
- 10:45Speaker 6: much as I'm a parent I am to my child.
- 10:48Speaker 11: I personally don't think step parents should whoop their kids,
- 10:53Speaker 11: but apparently my mom out their friend because she used
- 10:56Speaker 11: to let her ex husband beat the crap out of me,
- 10:58Speaker 11: but had mom would let it ride. I never approved
- 11:02Speaker 11: of it, even as I got older.
- 11:04Speaker 4: I just feel like, you know, step parents shouldn't shouldn't
- 11:07Speaker 4: have to put.
- 11:08Speaker 11: Their hands on somebody else's kids unless there's an understanding
- 11:12Speaker 11: between that other parent. With all three parties,
