Aw stop it! Are u a father with a teenage daughter?

Frank should be HAPPY she was smart enough to get on birth control. And being on birth control isn't always about having sex... It regulates some women's hormones
That’s because he was looking at the negative aspects of birth control, which most people do. I thinking that he wanted her to talk to him first about birth control, but Moesha knew that he was unreasonable. He would have assumed that she was having sex. Frank got on my nerves sometimes. 🙄
Frank should’ve never became a father because it’s obvious that he can’t handle it. you have to let your kids grow up. And at least moesha was being honest and responsible.
I often wonder who raised y'all when you leave comments like this, but I have to keep reminding myself that your generation is the "what's the big deal" generation. You call A REAL PARENT being upset that his wife & underaged daughter kept BIRTH CONTROL from him "unreasonable?" Are you really serious? His wife who he shares a marital bed with & is supposed to be able to TRUST who has kept such a serious matter a secret from him in his own house about his own daughter, you call his being upset unreasonable? What is wrong with y'all? I think this new generation of parents were so focused on being their child's friends & twerking together on tik tok that they totally neglected actually RAISING YOU.

Frank is a bit controlling she is 18 I can see if she was younger than yes he has a right to be upset without his permission but she is grown, and t.i. asked for the physical details and everything Frank just still see moesha as a child she isn't that's all t.i.on a whole other level ..
Sometimes I don't even think moesha's father even likes her the things that he lets her brother get away with but the minute that moesha starts taking birth control pills which is a mature thing to do he gets upset at her
Frank was toxic, immature and clearly had kids to so that he can get a specific result rather than nurture his children into being their best version if their unique SELVES.
He constantly disrespected his kids and blamed her for everything like when dee found the blunt as her dad he wanted to much control why should she talk to you about woman stuff when dee is there

She was just into guys like a normal teen & just wanted a boyfriend & even when she did have a boyfriend she didn’t want to have sex with them
@@tiaraw872 You ain't never lied because something in me still can't get over that time Mr. Mitchell saw Moesha on the stairs with Jeremy and he thought she lied when she didn't know boys were going to spend the night at the sleepover she was attending.
I’m sorry but where is it written that a daughter is required to inform her father that she’s sexually active. I would think most parents would be relieved that she wasn’t pregnant before college, and that she was being responsible.
@Tracy G I never watched the series religiously, these could be the college years. But truth be told Brandy look too old to be in high school during the high school years. But that’s not unusual for a lot of sitcoms. Look at that 70 show, never bought that they were in high school once.
Some parents set rules such as they don't want their children having sex under their roof... the thing is Frank had NO conversations with his children until something came up
This was around the time brandy was losing weight and she had a breakdown. Wow. She was her skinniest here. And she didn't look happy. It was all forced. She admitted it season 5 and 6 she wanted the show to be over with.
@@TF-gf3fs yeah but you gotta admit it was starting her showing being tired and losing weight in season 5. When I saw this season I was like wtf. And she just looked very tired and all that. But season 6 you can tell she was just done with the show.
@@derrbearrr2.076 yes. My second fave album after never say never. Cuz come on never say never omg. Every track was hella epic. I love full moon too.

It was like the cliffhanger was telling us moesha was the one who was pregnant. She got pregnant in September 2001. Lol
I never understood his need to know everything womanly about his daughter. Those conversations are best to be had between daughter and step mother or mom. His need to control Moesha at every stage of her life just drove me crazy. You would’ve thought he was a Pastor and she was a PK. Sheeeesh!
Dee was well respected at home and at school and didn’t play no games...Frank on other hand:hypocritical and omg..could be full of it...can’t believe he confronted Dee about moesha being on birth control pills and other things but letting Dorian get away with stuff? Smh..shame on you Frank Mitchell...
This is how you lose trust with your children. She probably didn’t feel like she had a safe place to talk to him and this reaction further proves that.
Mo was a teenager with a boyfriend. Better she be responsible than pregnant. What girl talks to her dad about birth control or going to the gynecologist. He wanted Dee to be like her mother, so she went to her. I always thought that episode was a bit weird, he was upset to the point where he acted like Mo and he were a couple and she cheated on him. He treated her unrealistically like she was always going to be some chaste princess.
Frank should’ve been at least glad that she was being responsible instead of just being reckless and potentially risking an unwanted pregnancy. Sometimes BC is used for period regulation. He could have simply asked about the pills and it would have been a discussion from there. If he was more open minded, Moesha wouldn’t have felt the need to hide anything.
I understand them being surprised but she didn't have to tell them anything about her pills if she didn't feel comfortable doing so. They should in my opinion been proud of her for being responsible and getting the pill if she needed it.
He couldn't get mad at her for making adult decisions to go on birth control but he fathered a child with another woman while he was married to his first wife
I think Frank could communicate with Moesha his uncomfortability in the situation and asked for time to process instead of running away. Considering this was made over twenty years ago about a semi-religious black family, it's a fairly realistic storyline juxtaposing parental expectations of purity and adolescent autonomy.
RIGHT? So many grown ppl misuse BC (or forgo it all together) and think it's cute to abruptly bring children into a crappy environment. He should've been proud of her! Him and Dee raised a smart woman.
Honestly, looking back at it... Frank was the biggest hypocrite and refused to let Mo grow up, even though he made most of the same mistakes that she did, and more.
He had some nerve to get mad at Mo for having birth control but in one episode Miles had some girl over at the house but probably never got caught....At that point, MO wasn't a child anymore and was mature enough to make adult decisions and he didn't have any right to have any say so about her personal life. He was always kept tabs on Mo but didn't do that to Miles when he became of age. He smoked weed and didn't get in trouble, Frank and Dee only talked to him. He showed favoritism more towards Miles than Moesha all because he was a boy. I could see why Mo was being somewhat rebellious and let Miles do whatever he wanted
Frank was such a horrible dad to Moesha, this is one the reasons she rebelled so much because he was too overprotective and controlling behavior. He’s upset that Dee didn't tell him about Moesha's birth control while he had a secret son and left his sister to raise while he raised two kids in a middle class home. SMH.
I hated how he got angry at her for basically being responsible lol. Like wtf. Mary Ellen, from the private school he sent her to (in order to keep her out of trouble), ended up pregnant, so he needs to count his blessings. He should trust her more. What teenage girl is going to discuss her first time having sex with her father😑. Be glad she at least took the necessary precautions.
Yeah, I'm convinced. Something is truly wrong with your generation. How tf is being a teenager STILL LIVING UNDER YOUR FATHER'S ROOF & GETTING BIRTH CONTROL WITHOUT HIS KNOWLEDGE RESPONSIBLE? You do know that people have been known to have adverse effects from substances such as that, correct? So if that CHILD took those pills & suddenly dropped dead of a heart attack or some other fatal side effect from it, what the hell was Frank supposed to think? He would've really been devastated had something like that happened & learning that the cause was BC PILLS that he knew nothing about. The fact that she didn't even take those sorts of things into consideration prior to doing something like that BEHIND HIS BACK shows her lack of maturity which is WHY her parents LABELED her as still behaving as a CHILD. I swear, y'all wanna be so grown but don't want to take the necessary steps to ACCEPT the responsibilities that comes with BEING GROWN. Don't bother replying. You're muted
@@KAMALAISHERNAME Girl first of all, why are you so mad, lol? You okay? Secondly, I know if you took the time to write all that, then you'll be back to read the response, so welcome back boo😁 Thirdly, why did the clinic give them to her in the first place if everything you claim is true? She got them from medical professionals, not the black market, lol. Irregardless, birth control or not, she would still be exposed to other potential risks. I think if we've learned anything from the high teen pregnancy rates, is that just because we don't give them birth control, it doesn't mean they won't have sex.
Frank needed to realize, Moesha was a grown woman at that point. She can make adult decisions. He over reacts to every thing. Dee was way more understanding.
What girls talk to her father about sex that is a mother's job. Sometimes a parent may have to keep something's confidential if they want their children to come to them
Basically the same thing I'm going through wit my dad. We don't talk enough for him to understand me and that I'm not little anymore, eventually I will want to explore and make decisions for myself, but he doesn't trust me enough or talk to me to let me have that amount of freedom.
Men it’s all fun and games until you have a daughter and see all the things you use too do in every guy.besides unless your absolutely single somethings are not your business when it comes too your daughters they are not your sons and go through things that are so absolutely just between women.basically it’s none of your damn business
I think Frank didn't like Q because he's scared Q is like him when he was younger. His past was probably haunting him (still doesn't excuse his wrongdoing)
That's what I always loved about her character. I didn't think Mo should have mistreated her, but she was lashing out because she mourned for her mom. Understandable but not excused. Plus I liked that she could speak French. 😊
I know this was a very different time, a time I actually grew up in, but any time a man thinks he can tell a woman anything about what she does and does not do regarding her body makes me rage. Even in this situation, where the man is her father and the girl is a teenager. The reality is, teens are having sex, they are doing it no matter what their parents tell them about abstinence and we know purity culture only serves to screw them up in the head about normal biology. The thing is, if your kid is asking for bc it means they trust you enough to talk about it and it means they want to be responsible. The way this father acted ensures she won't ever trust him with this kind of thing and she probably won't trust the step mom either
Why was Frank so butt hurt? First it’s not his business if Moesha is taking BC pills? It’s her sex life and she took responsibility but for him to be mad at Dee and Moesha is just plain mean. Get over it and be glad you have a responsible daughter.
You can take birth control pills for a variety of different things. Hormone regulation, period regulation, PCOS. The fact that this man is mad that his daughter is being proactive about her reproductive organs and overall general health is MADDENING! ETA: Moesha is grown and in college here! Why is it his place to know about her uterus???
Right! He acting like sges 14. It's her choice to get on BC. I disliked how he was towards her always overreacting alllll the time and never listening to her. Just barking orders.
Dee was the only emotional support of parent Moesha ever had. What’s the big deal it’s talking about responsibility for a female. Obviously Frank is so stubborn to understand she’s taking care of her self she didn’t need her dad and she didn’t need anybody. I just started birth control when I was 16 years old.
Franks parenting skills irked me so much I even wrote a blog post on it (among other things on the show) 😂 www.alexandriadavis.uk/post/6-reasons-moesha-failed-to-be-at-the-forefront-of-change
Dee is the reason Moesha was responsible. She earned Moesha respect bc how she took care of Myles especially the episode she told Frank "He's my son,too!" Moesha face was priceless. We love Dee Mitchell
"I remember taking birth control pills" I just thought of them as smarties! I was so slick in high school. I could've given Moesha some tips on how not to get caught.
“You only call me moesha when your mad at me but you want me to be pumpkin for the rest of my life” - moesha She can’t be a kid forever frank be getting on my never with the way he handles his past,his marriage,his parenting,etc
She was a high school senior when she started taking the pills. He still shouldn’t have gotten angry though. Even if Moesha did have sex in high school she’s an adult now so it’s none of his business.

You do know that people have been known to have adverse effects from substances such as that, correct? So if that CHILD took those pills & suddenly dropped dead of a heart attack or some other fatal side effect from it, what the hell was Frank supposed to think? He would've really been devastated had something like that happened & learning that the cause was BC PILLS that he knew nothing about. The fact that she didn't even take those sorts of things into consideration prior to doing something like that BEHIND HIS BACK shows her lack of maturity which is WHY her parents LABELED her as still behaving as a CHILD. I swear, y'all wanna be so grown but don't want to take the necessary steps to ACCEPT the responsibilities that comes with BEING GROWN. Don't bother replying. You're muted
@@KAMALAISHERNAME Girl first of all, why are you so mad, lol? You okay?
Secondly, I know if you took the time to write all that, then you'll be back to read the response, so welcome back boo😁
Thirdly, why did the clinic give them to her in the first place if everything you claim is true? She got them from medical professionals, not the black market, lol.
Irregardless, birth control or not, she would still be exposed to other potential risks. I think if we've learned anything from the high teen pregnancy rates, is that just because we don't give them birth control, it doesn't mean they won't have sex.
@@mndegrassi8 she is 18 isn't she an adult....
@@KAMALAISHERNAME id hate to be your kid lol
@@suhailah4275 I don't recall making YOU any offers, sweetness....🤷🏽♀️ you're muted. No need to reply😜
I really love Brandy in red hair ❤️
Dee was dressed up super gorgeous with lavender purple hat and a suit and a skirt
Am I gonna die Dee I'm weak lmaoooooooo that ish was hilarious
Frank needed to realize, Moesha was a grown woman at that point. She can make adult decisions. He over reacts to every thing. Dee was way more understanding.
Dee coming down those steps gave me a Michelle Obama moment. Fabulous
What girls talk to her father about sex that is a mother's job. Sometimes a parent may have to keep something's confidential if they want their children to come to them
Basically the same thing I'm going through wit my dad. We don't talk enough for him to understand me and that I'm not little anymore, eventually I will want to explore and make decisions for myself, but he doesn't trust me enough or talk to me to let me have that amount of freedom.
Ur names also Moesha bruh....,
Now I see why Frank has never been nominated for best black TV dad on social media 😳
Dee was the best character in the whole show.
Men it’s all fun and games until you have a daughter and see all the things you use too do in every guy.besides unless your absolutely single somethings are not your business when it comes too your daughters they are not your sons and go through things that are so absolutely just between women.basically it’s none of your damn business
I think Frank didn't like Q because he's scared Q is like him when he was younger. His past was probably haunting him (still doesn't excuse his wrongdoing)
Dee is perfect,very understanding, caring , open minded.
That's what I always loved about her character. I didn't think Mo should have mistreated her, but she was lashing out because she mourned for her mom. Understandable but not excused.
Plus I liked that she could speak French. 😊
Now didnt frank tell moesha like in the first season she could talk to or not talk to him about anything..... like???
Yep he's a hypocrite
I used to think Moesha was the one being unreasonable sometimes but I forgot Frank was like that too.
He too strict thats why moesha was fast tailed
Brandy still looks exactly the same today!
her and Sheryl Lee Ralph still look great. Shoot, the whole cast looks well
Dee and that hat and I love it
I know this was a very different time, a time I actually grew up in, but any time a man thinks he can tell a woman anything about what she does and does not do regarding her body makes me rage. Even in this situation, where the man is her father and the girl is a teenager. The reality is, teens are having sex, they are doing it no matter what their parents tell them about abstinence and we know purity culture only serves to screw them up in the head about normal biology. The thing is, if your kid is asking for bc it means they trust you enough to talk about it and it means they want to be responsible. The way this father acted ensures she won't ever trust him with this kind of thing and she probably won't trust the step mom either
Birth control pills are also used to regulate a female's period.
my mom was always up front about this topic I never had to sneak with her she made sure I knew enough about these kinds of things.
Frank was still a damn hypocrite🤨
Frank is just like my uncle , & unlucky for me I’m not 18 yet so I have to continue dealing with it for the next 8 months
I feel you but at least he cares for you. A lot of people aren't so lucky.
@@Bloombaby99 Ok and? That doesn't make it ok.
How did it go ?
@@vanousisi8112 I’m at peace now that I’m out the house 🫶🏾
@@traphouseentertainmentbrattv Good for you:)
Dee was Rocking that Outfit
Why was Frank so butt hurt? First it’s not his business if Moesha is taking BC pills? It’s her sex life and she took responsibility but for him to be mad at Dee and Moesha is just plain mean. Get over it and be glad you have a responsible daughter.
Why would she talk to him about something he will never have to endure as a man dee was in the house so she felt comfortable
Franklin is reaching and tripping .....dee understood
Seeing Frank in every scene so far on RUclips really disgust me. So, good acting over all!
Frank was so extra 🙄
You can take birth control pills for a variety of different things. Hormone regulation, period regulation, PCOS. The fact that this man is mad that his daughter is being proactive about her reproductive organs and overall general health is MADDENING! ETA: Moesha is grown and in college here! Why is it his place to know about her uterus???
Right! He acting like sges 14. It's her choice to get on BC. I disliked how he was towards her always overreacting alllll the time and never listening to her. Just barking orders.
He acts like he owns her fertility or body. A whole grown adult! Throwing temper tantrums every episode
I always liked Dee a lot better than Frank . Frank always jumped to conclusions and never listened to Moesha or any of his kids .
Dee was the only emotional support of parent Moesha ever had. What’s the big deal it’s talking about responsibility for a female. Obviously Frank is so stubborn to understand she’s taking care of her self she didn’t need her dad and she didn’t need anybody. I just started birth control when I was 16 years old.
Chileeeee Frank’s character burns me UP! Every single thing he has a problem with 🙄 idk how Dee and then kids dealt with him but couldn’t be me !
Right. I'm surprised Dee stayed that long.
She's grown. Her father should be happy, that she's taking action.
Franks parenting skills irked me so much I even wrote a blog post on it (among other things on the show) 😂
www.alexandriadavis.uk/post/6-reasons-moesha-failed-to-be-at-the-forefront-of-change
The nerve for Frank 2 always accuse Moesha for having sex with boys when he had a whole secret child while he was married...
Frank too sassy and immature it’s not his body & he’s not a woman. I know it’s fiction but it grinds my gears 😂😒
It's her body she's protecting herself from pregnancy frank was ignorant
Frank was trippin🤦🏾♀️😭
Watching this shit now as an adult is so frustrating. Moesha was doing the most and Frank was doing the damn most.
Dee should’ve ran for cover.
Dee is the reason Moesha was responsible. She earned Moesha respect bc how she took care of Myles especially the episode she told Frank "He's my son,too!" Moesha face was priceless. We love Dee Mitchell
It’s the sense of entitlement for me we supposed to chase Frank FORGET FRANK😂😂😂😂
place for a few minutes ago but I didn't know if you are interested in a few days ago I was in school tomorrow so I can see the resemblance to see if
"I remember taking birth control pills" I just thought of them as smarties! I was so slick in high school. I could've given Moesha some tips on how not to get caught.
Smarties 😂
My sister got caught with birth control pill but she was 25 thu Haha it still funny seen grow women getting ground it
Frank was a control freak. No wonder Moe got outta there asap
Moesha was an adult by this point. Frank was ridiculous
“You only call me moesha when your mad at me but you want me to be pumpkin for the rest of my life”
- moesha
She can’t be a kid forever frank be getting on my never with the way he handles his past,his marriage,his parenting,etc
Wasn’t she in college at this point ? Why is he mad?
Exactly I can see if she is 15 or 16 years old or something she is 18..
She was a high school senior when she started taking the pills. He still shouldn’t have gotten angry though. Even if Moesha did have sex in high school she’s an adult now so it’s none of his business.
@@lynne709 exactly
At least moesha was using protection
Lol she looks like she's grown. It ain't none of his business at that point
