- 0:14Speaker 2: We are the Breakfast Club because Jess Hilarious is here. Now,
- 0:18Speaker 2: somebody emailed Jess and wanted them to fix their mess. Now, Jess,
- 0:22Speaker 2: what was the email?
- 0:23Speaker 3: What was the question?
- 0:24Speaker 4: So it was it was very broad.
- 0:25Speaker 5: But basically, this girl has a boyfriend who uh uh,
- 0:29Speaker 5: she does well. She has a baby father, and they
- 0:32Speaker 5: are somewhat similar to me and Rome situation. They're very
- 0:36Speaker 5: very cool clothes, they do business together, and her boyfriend
- 0:39Speaker 5: has a child that he is attached to from a
- 0:44Speaker 5: previous relationship that's not his biological daughter, but he still
- 0:47Speaker 5: is very attached to where they were only in a
- 0:49Speaker 5: relationship for a year and he grew attached to this
- 0:51Speaker 5: little girl and he kind of uses that as leverage
- 0:54Speaker 5: for the girlfriend being cool with her baby daddy.
- 0:58Speaker 6: And for people who just might be lose live to
- 1:00Speaker 6: the breast Club.
- 1:00Speaker 1: Roome is just his baby's father, yes, with their like
- 1:03Speaker 1: brother and sisters.
- 1:04Speaker 3: Yes, it is her baby daddy.
- 1:05Speaker 2: Brother right, Yes, So I mean I really would say,
- 1:08Speaker 2: once you break up with the mom, especially, that's not
- 1:10Speaker 2: your child. You break up with that baby too. They
- 1:12Speaker 2: only been together one year, Yeah, that's I feel. And
- 1:14Speaker 2: the baby got a father, Yeah, baby has a father.
- 1:17Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm sure the woman is dating somebody else.
- 1:19Speaker 2: Yes, So not all three of us gonna be at
- 1:20Speaker 2: the all three of us in the mom gonna be
- 1:23Speaker 2: at the graduation. So no, once you break up with
- 1:24Speaker 2: that mom, you break up with the baby, especially if
- 1:26Speaker 2: it's only been a year, Like, you gotta let that
- 1:28Speaker 2: baby go, that's not your child. But also in a
- 1:31Speaker 2: new situation, I would look at that different. You gotta
- 1:33Speaker 2: set boundaries. You just can't.
- 1:34Speaker 3: You can't.
- 1:35Speaker 2: You and your baby father can't be all cool and
- 1:37Speaker 2: together and shop. Nah, like this is a new relationship.
- 1:40Speaker 2: I respect what you have together, but this ain't this
- 1:43Speaker 2: one big family.
- 1:43Speaker 1: And it ain't even no time a year a year
- 1:46Speaker 1: like firt of all, he shouldn't even be meeting your
- 1:48Speaker 1: child after the year, and how you grow a bond
- 1:50Speaker 1: with a whole child and a year?
- 1:52Speaker 5: First of all, I can't hide no nigga from my
- 1:53Speaker 5: child for a year grown, so you know. Yeah, But
- 1:57Speaker 5: and then the little girl was like nine ten, you know,
- 1:59Speaker 5: she's older so it's like, yo, all right, like she
- 2:02Speaker 5: already knows her father. She spent the last year with
- 2:05Speaker 5: one year with you, and yeah, you kids are very impressionable.
- 2:08Speaker 4: You're a good guy. He's good with kids and stuff,
- 2:10Speaker 4: and that's cool.
- 2:11Speaker 6: But do you really know a person after the year
- 2:13Speaker 6: have them aun?
- 2:14Speaker 4: And then why is your mom trying to be the
- 2:16Speaker 4: dad collector? This is not what.
- 2:18Speaker 3: I'm saying.
- 2:19Speaker 4: We're not gonna do that, you know.
- 2:22Speaker 3: Let's go to the full life. Hello, who's this.
- 2:26Speaker 7: Georgia?
- 2:27Speaker 3: What's up? What's your thoughts?
- 2:28Speaker 5: Man?
- 2:29Speaker 7: I'll say, man, I don't feel like that's right, because.
- 2:32Speaker 3: When when you're in a relationship and you start something new,
- 2:34Speaker 3: you don't want to bring on leugage from the path
- 2:37Speaker 3: back and tend to kindle something.
- 2:40Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying, So leave that baggage. And
- 2:42Speaker 6: I appreciate that y'all be breaking up with kids. Boy,
- 2:45Speaker 6: y'all cold.
- 2:46Speaker 2: But she got a dad and now she got because
- 2:48Speaker 2: the mom is dating someone else.
- 2:51Speaker 3: I think justice right? Three dads said dad r. Let's
- 2:55Speaker 3: just say that collecting like that, like, Hello, Georgia, mama,
- 3:02Speaker 3: what's your thoughts?
- 3:03Speaker 7: My thoughts are if she's entering a relationships. She does
- 3:07Speaker 7: need to spend some boundaries with her baby father, but
- 3:11Speaker 7: it also sounds like he's just being petty.
- 3:14Speaker 8: Yeah, and the only reason he only wants to be
- 3:16Speaker 8: around the little girl is because she's around her baby father.
- 3:20Speaker 4: That's what it sounds like. Down a baby.
- 3:23Speaker 8: Yeah, don't you sound like you care about the little girl.
- 3:25Speaker 7: He just wanted to kiss off his girl for yeah.
- 3:28Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, it sounds like that because she said he
- 3:30Speaker 5: uses it as leverage.
- 3:33Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 3:33Speaker 1: Because you love somebody, you accept everything that comes with him, right. Yeah,
- 3:36Speaker 1: Like if you if somebody loves Jess, you gotta accept
- 3:39Speaker 1: the child. They gotta accept Roome, They gotta accept everybody.
- 3:43Speaker 4: Except room, yo, because you always make things, you gotta
- 3:47Speaker 4: do it.
- 3:47Speaker 3: You gotta accept Room.
- 3:48Speaker 2: But also people gotta understand if somebody is dating somebody
- 3:52Speaker 2: with a baby daddy and the baby daddy's cool. A
- 3:56Speaker 2: lot of times, the baby daddy's cool because you want
- 3:58Speaker 2: as close as normal the child.
- 4:01Speaker 6: My child is still under age.
- 4:02Speaker 3: That's right.
- 4:03Speaker 2: I'm gonna be here, bro, that's right because you want
- 4:05Speaker 2: the child to feel comfortable. And like, no, I can
- 4:06Speaker 2: call my mom, I can call my dad. My mom
- 4:08Speaker 2: and dad are cool. I should come to them. Now,
- 4:10Speaker 2: this new gentleman is here. I got it that he's
- 4:12Speaker 2: dated my mom and I respect him. But you still want,
- 4:14Speaker 2: you know, to feel as normal as possible.
- 4:16Speaker 5: Yeah, and telling you my my son loves me and
- 4:19Speaker 5: his dad's relationship and he loves that.
- 4:21Speaker 6: How do you feel when other guy's come around?
- 4:24Speaker 4: I mean, I don't introduce him to everybody.
- 4:25Speaker 3: Make you seem like guy's coming around all the time.
- 4:29Speaker 4: I collect don't listen to shut up?
- 4:39Speaker 3: Hello this m what's your thoughts?
- 4:43Speaker 7: I'm sorry I couldn't hear you.
- 4:45Speaker 3: I said, what's your thoughts?
- 4:46Speaker 5: Mom?
- 4:46Speaker 3: Your dad? Collector?
- 4:47Speaker 8: Okay, so my thoughts are uh. I definitely think that
- 4:52Speaker 8: after only a year and a half of stating someone
- 4:55Speaker 8: that you shouldn't even have a bond with the child.
- 4:57Speaker 3: I agree.
- 4:58Speaker 8: I think a lot of problems with people that are
- 5:01Speaker 8: dating that you know have children. They just introduce their
- 5:04Speaker 8: kids to people too. I mean, maybe like a high
- 5:08Speaker 8: in vibe maybe passed by, but an eight year old
- 5:11Speaker 8: and a man like absolutely not. So he needs to
- 5:14Speaker 8: win hisself off and the mom released a thing better
- 5:17Speaker 8: next time, Like you wouldn't have this problem if you want.
- 5:20Speaker 7: To introduce your child before you really even knew the person.
- 5:23Speaker 2: But I kind of disagree though, Like if if a
- 5:26Speaker 2: woman is dating a man, and the woman has sole
- 5:28Speaker 2: custody of that child, right, So that means if a
- 5:30Speaker 2: woman is dating, you know, at first to get serious,
- 5:32Speaker 2: and then they start going out a lot. So when
- 5:34Speaker 2: I go out a lot, what am I gonna leave
- 5:35Speaker 2: my son at home?
- 5:36Speaker 3: My son?
- 5:37Speaker 2: Know, after after a while, six seven, eight months, you
- 5:40Speaker 2: start taking your child with you because you want to
- 5:41Speaker 2: see how that man is with your child.
- 5:43Speaker 6: So that's so.
- 5:46Speaker 3: Now I disagree with you.
- 5:47Speaker 4: I don't think that's so.
- 5:48Speaker 2: Now you go out a lot, and if that person,
- 5:50Speaker 2: if you really into that person, just think about when
- 5:52Speaker 2: you started dating your wife. I started dating my wife.
- 5:54Speaker 2: We were around each other a lot. And if you
- 5:57Speaker 2: have a child, a young child at the time that's
- 5:59Speaker 2: eight nine, you're gonna be taking that child to plays
- 6:02Speaker 2: and games and this and that.
- 6:03Speaker 5: Because this is not just somebody that you just hitting
- 6:06Speaker 5: and missing, you know what I'm saying. This is somebody
- 6:08Speaker 5: that you may not see yourself with them for the
- 6:11Speaker 5: rest of your life. But it's like, all right, I
- 6:12Speaker 5: mean I'm feeling you see.
- 6:14Speaker 1: What you need to. You don't feel like you're gonna
- 6:17Speaker 1: be with the present for the rest of your life.
- 6:18Speaker 1: You gotta get this man from time.
- 6:19Speaker 5: So why I said, I don't introduce everybody to ash,
- 6:21Speaker 5: But when I feel like there's like, okay, this, this
- 6:24Speaker 5: is like something and you're giving me butterflies and I'm
- 6:26Speaker 5: actually talking to people about you, I do feel like
- 6:29Speaker 5: there is something, you know. So when a girl gets
- 6:31Speaker 5: that feeling would a long time.
- 6:36Speaker 4: So she feels like that right.
- 6:38Speaker 5: And she's she's gonna bring that. I don't think it's
- 6:40Speaker 5: wrong with her introducing.
- 6:41Speaker 3: The depending on how tight that relationship.
- 6:44Speaker 5: But it's up to the guy. Yo, if it's done,
- 6:47Speaker 5: it's done. After a year or a year.
- 6:49Speaker 4: And a half. Wean yourself off the baby.
- 6:51Speaker 5: I'm not saying just completely cut yourself out, but wean
- 6:55Speaker 5: yourself off. It didn't even explain. So if she you
- 6:57Speaker 5: that close with a look, your mom collected me. So
- 7:02Speaker 5: we're done.
- 7:07Speaker 3: Question is what's the question? Breaking down again? It's a
- 7:09Speaker 3: lot going on. Oh my god, should you.
- 7:11Speaker 1: Stop being cool with your and your exes family for
- 7:13Speaker 1: your new man, den Bar, it's just ever gonna be
- 7:16Speaker 1: able to find you happiness because room's in your life.
- 7:18Speaker 2: Shut up, man, we'll take your calls when we come
- 7:20Speaker 2: back about me. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, more
- 7:23Speaker 2: thing everybody. It's dj n V Charlamage the God we
- 7:26Speaker 2: are the Breakfast Club. Jess Hilarious is here now if
- 7:28Speaker 2: you just join us. We're asking eight hundred and five
- 7:30Speaker 2: eight five one on five one.
- 7:32Speaker 3: What's the question? Okay, there's a lot of moving parts, so.
- 7:35Speaker 4: All right, Charlamagne, what is the question? What would you say?
- 7:37Speaker 1: I thought it was, you know, basically, should you stop
- 7:39Speaker 1: being cool with your ex and you know your ex's
- 7:43Speaker 1: family for your new man?
- 7:45Speaker 5: Do you cut off a child from a previous relationship
- 7:49Speaker 5: going into a new relationship if it's not biologically yours?
- 7:53Speaker 3: There you go boom.
- 7:54Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you do, depending on how close you
- 7:58Speaker 2: and the child does so, if you raise that child,
- 8:00Speaker 2: let's say you've been with that person for eight to
- 8:02Speaker 2: ten years, different saying because we're just a question, but
- 8:07Speaker 2: if you ask a question, you gotta have boundaries.
- 8:09Speaker 3: You gotta explain. If it's long time and.
- 8:11Speaker 2: You raised the child, yes, I think you should still
- 8:13Speaker 2: be in that child's life, but it was only a
- 8:14Speaker 2: year like this situation, Yeah, I just say that'll disagreed.
- 8:20Speaker 4: I didn't disagree and be dead.
- 8:21Speaker 3: But I didn't disagree. Yes you did, I didn't. You
- 8:23Speaker 3: actually did. No.
- 8:24Speaker 2: You said a year was too soon to introduce to
- 8:27Speaker 2: the child. I'm like, yeah, it might not be too send.
- 8:29Speaker 3: You disagree with a car show, throw my own car show?
- 8:33Speaker 3: Is that what you're gonna do?
- 8:36Speaker 8: Better?
- 8:36Speaker 4: Start with that?
- 8:37Speaker 3: Is that what you're gonna do? Well?
- 8:40Speaker 2: My call shows this Sunday, By the way, Memphis made
- 8:43Speaker 2: five and under a free there's gonna be calls from
- 8:45Speaker 2: young Dolph, Key Glock, fifty cent Bunpy, and myself.
- 8:48Speaker 3: If you haven't got your tickets, to get your tickets now.
- 8:49Speaker 3: I can't wait to see you in Memphis. All right, Now,
- 8:52Speaker 3: let's get to the fore.
- 8:53Speaker 1: Hoo Hans, Hello, who's this for making?
- 8:57Speaker 8: Hey?
- 8:58Speaker 3: Jay, talk to us. What's your thoughts?
- 9:00Speaker 7: Okay, So I got two things. First thing is, Jessica,
- 9:03Speaker 7: I'm so glad you're on there this morning because you
- 9:06Speaker 7: always give good insight.
- 9:08Speaker 3: Never one.
- 9:09Speaker 7: But just tell your friends that he is a placeholder
- 9:12Speaker 7: for him, that dude is still trying to show up
- 9:15Speaker 7: for the head and hope that she'll see oh he did.
- 9:18Speaker 7: He's that type of father to somebody that's not even
- 9:20Speaker 7: his that's not even his real child, and I can
- 9:23Speaker 7: take him back. He's going number two and he I
- 9:27Speaker 7: know you were the one to answer the pull. The
- 9:30Speaker 7: fact that you talked out and said the extremes are
- 9:34Speaker 7: either they got to be beefing like Christ and blood
- 9:36Speaker 7: as baby mama baby daddy, or the opposite of that
- 9:39Speaker 7: is big, happy family and everybody living in the same house.
- 9:42Speaker 7: There are so many levels between that when it comes
- 9:46Speaker 7: to relationships between parents, and just told you that they
- 9:50Speaker 7: have businesses together and things like that, so they can't
- 9:53Speaker 7: communicate and have a healthy relationship. One of the biggest
- 9:56Speaker 7: things about both character is respect, respect of the other,
- 10:00Speaker 7: charent respect of their.
- 10:01Speaker 8: Relationships and all of that.
- 10:04Speaker 7: There's levels to it. It does not mean that they
- 10:06Speaker 7: are infinitely involved and there's anything going on under the table.
- 10:10Speaker 7: There are levels to it. And speaking for the faith
- 10:12Speaker 7: that you can't pop from because all your kids are with.
- 10:15Speaker 2: Here, correct, I can't.
- 10:19Speaker 3: I can't relate, Frank, but either.
- 10:21Speaker 7: Of y'all can't relate. But y'all also have both stepped
- 10:24Speaker 7: out on your wife.
- 10:25Speaker 3: Whoa whoa, whoa whoa?
- 10:26Speaker 6: What you bringing up old stuff? Both stuff?
- 10:36Speaker 3: Man? Okay, continue, I'm just saying.
- 10:40Speaker 7: I'm going to be seventeen this year. He and her
- 10:45Speaker 7: dad do business together. We have not had any dealings
- 10:48Speaker 7: since I was pregnant with her. It's just right this year.
- 10:51Speaker 4: That's right.
- 10:52Speaker 7: There's a mutual respect and understanding that I have for
- 10:54Speaker 7: his relationships and situations and that he has for mine
- 10:57Speaker 7: as well. But we we do not our, We don't fight,
- 11:01Speaker 7: We don't do any of that.
- 11:02Speaker 3: What does your new man think about it?
- 11:05Speaker 7: He don't have a problem with it because they've been introduced.
- 11:07Speaker 7: They we spend time together on holidays, all day. It's
- 11:10Speaker 7: no problem. If you create any man that is creating
- 11:14Speaker 7: drama and bringing that into my face, my energy, my family,
- 11:17Speaker 7: she wouldn't be there anyway.
- 11:18Speaker 4: That's right, that's right now. I agree with everything she said.
- 11:21Speaker 6: I'm gonna tell you something that's interesting.
- 11:23Speaker 1: There's been such a negative narrative around baby Mama's and
- 11:26Speaker 1: baby daddy that we always expect it to be drama.
- 11:29Speaker 6: So when I see situations like justin Rome and how.
- 11:31Speaker 1: They co parents as well, I didn't know it was
- 11:34Speaker 1: so many people out here cole parenting so well.
- 11:37Speaker 2: But co parenting is not the problem. I don't anybody
- 11:39Speaker 2: you have to co parent. That's not the problem. The
- 11:41Speaker 2: problem is when cordial cold parents, like actually being friends.
- 11:44Speaker 3: That's that's not the problem.
- 11:45Speaker 2: The problem is when I feel like they cross the lines, right,
- 11:48Speaker 2: And sometimes I feel like people cross the lines in
- 11:50Speaker 2: that situation, Like with the individual that you said, I
- 11:52Speaker 2: feel like he's crossing the lines, meaning they've only been
- 11:54Speaker 2: together a short period of time.
- 11:57Speaker 3: There's no reason to still be in that child's life
- 12:00Speaker 3: like that.
- 12:00Speaker 2: That child has a father, that child has a new
- 12:04Speaker 2: boyfriend that the mom has, So it's to the point
- 12:06Speaker 2: now where there's no reason to be this.
- 12:08Speaker 3: It's just what makes sense. Yeah, you know, in my opinion.
- 12:11Speaker 5: And then also, we're not talking about me girl from
- 12:14Speaker 5: making Georgia, you sure, yeah, because you see how she personalized.
- 12:19Speaker 5: She was like, just so tell your friend that you
- 12:21Speaker 5: and your baby father, like y'all.
- 12:22Speaker 6: Do sound personal And when you were describing it, you
- 12:25Speaker 6: were saying.
- 12:25Speaker 4: My mask, I told you people write me all the time.
- 12:28Speaker 6: Slipping up said, I wrote myself, and I told myself.
- 12:30Speaker 5: And slipping up first, I didn't know you stepped out.
- 12:32Speaker 5: What's what happened with you in the marriage? Okay, thank you,
- 12:35Speaker 5: I'm moving on this. Yeah, yeah, we know about one personalitation?
- 12:41Speaker 3: What about yours? Did you write that in the little book?
- 12:43Speaker 3: I did? Shook it th one? What's the marl of
- 12:47Speaker 3: the story?
- 12:48Speaker 6: The moral of the story.
- 12:50Speaker 5: Don't don't use no damn leverage. The moral of the
- 12:53Speaker 5: story is, look everything you do not bring. And then
- 12:56Speaker 5: it's kind of hard to say, don't bring baggage from
- 12:59Speaker 5: other relationships, because I'm not trying to say anyone's child
- 13:02Speaker 5: is baggage.
- 13:04Speaker 4: My thing is, I would never say that. The thing
- 13:06Speaker 4: is you have to. It's so. It's because I'm so
- 13:11Speaker 4: conflicted on it.
- 13:11Speaker 5: It's like you have to be open enough to bring
- 13:15Speaker 5: all the facts before you get into enough relationship.
- 13:17Speaker 4: This is what I had going on here.
- 13:19Speaker 5: It's gonna be hard breaking his bumb with this little girl,
- 13:22Speaker 5: but you gotta be willing to try to do that,
- 13:24Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying.
- 13:26Speaker 2: Let's say that the situation was with you, right, and
- 13:28Speaker 2: you met a new man you loved, but he just
- 13:30Speaker 2: he felt uncomfortable. He felt that you and Rome were
- 13:32Speaker 2: too close with each other. Y'all spoke too much because
- 13:34Speaker 2: you were in a relationship.
- 13:35Speaker 3: Y'all didn't.
- 13:38Speaker 4: No, I'm never gonna cut Rome.
- 13:39Speaker 2: But let's say you wanted to set boundaries to make
- 13:42Speaker 2: sure he was comfortable.
- 13:43Speaker 4: I do get that. Look it happened. It happened before.
- 13:47Speaker 5: Rome used to call me anytime of the night, and
- 13:50Speaker 5: I used to answer any time of the night.
- 13:51Speaker 1: You know what I mean.
- 13:52Speaker 5: You used to have a real bad drinking problem, fall
- 13:54Speaker 5: asleep behind the wheel. This ain't nothing to everybody, don't know,
- 13:56Speaker 5: but like, you know what I mean. So I would
- 13:57Speaker 5: go get him. I would since somebody get any thing.
- 14:00Speaker 5: But I was also enabling him a lot and then
- 14:02Speaker 5: just too accessible for him, which also like spoiled them
- 14:07Speaker 5: a lot. So I did set boundaries myself. And even
- 14:09Speaker 5: it was a guy that was like, yo, this calling
- 14:11Speaker 5: he was one o'clock in the morning.
- 14:12Speaker 3: I mean me and you in bed at one o'clock
- 14:14Speaker 3: in the morning and you pick him up. I'm a
- 14:17Speaker 3: feeling the way.
- 14:17Speaker 5: No, I never did that, but that's when I did
