- Families like mine often have a hard time opening up and discussing things like this. I’m so grateful that my mom and I could get to this place of honesty together. ❤️

Do you have honest talks with your parents about things like this?
Me and my father always talk he’s honestly my best friend!!
Hi Jeannie Hi Mama Mai😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘Khaya all the way in South Africa. Province - Eastern cape. City - East London. Love you guys. Mama Mai is literally like my aunt ( my mom's sister) 😂😂😂😂😁keep doing this and sharing so much love and happiness
Please give me a shout out in your next video. Love love love you loads 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 😗😗😗😗😗😗😗😚😚😚😚😚😙😙😙😙😙
Girl I haven't spoken to my mother and step father in over a year and probably wont ever speak to either of them again, ever. I need some momma Mai and Jeannie in my life.
Jeanie, this is a real issue in so many families.
Love your transparency and momma Mai !!! I make polymer clay fun earrings can I send mama Mai some ?!!!
As an Asian person who grew up in North America, it’s really inspiring to see you and your family be so open with each other. Thanks for sharing your lives with us!
Where is north america?You meant United States of America there is no North America!
@Ariel Carson 🤣 exactly! Like really!🤨
@@scor440 North America is the continent so she is right.
Mama Mai and Papa Mai needs to get back together ❤️
I wish my mom and I could be this open, but she is full blooded Korean and stuck in her ways. She doesn’t know how to be that mom that 90% of the world has, but it’s okay, she knows I love her and she loves me.
Damn when momma started talking about how she felt I had tears instantly...I felt that.
Mama Mai must not be so hard on herself and Jeannie as well I felt was too hard on her.
In my experience, on-off relationships hardly ever work out so it's best to leave it off in my opinion. Also, if you spent a lot of money on lawyers trying to break up with someone there is a VERY good reason why and she should remember that. Usually after a break up you only remember the good times and when you get back together it's good for about 2 weeks then you're reminded of why you wanted to break up in the first place😒
Me too
Me too 😢. I’m still crying 😢
I'm crying my heart can't take this so sad
SAME.
The craziest thing is how this conversation crosses generational and cultural barriers. I’m Haitian American, and this resonatessssssss. Mama Mai is amazing.
I too am 🇭🇹🇺🇲, big time resonates! I am still freaking with parental cultural trauma and at an age when it is time for me to be the 'parent'.
Hey boo ! Lol I was thinking the same thing .
Chiiiiileeeee yes!!!!
I’m Jamaican American and I understand.
Omg!!! I’m Haitian American and I love this channel. I learn so much
Jeannie’s face when mama Mai starts talking about how uncle ted is second best. Lmao.
Not the worst lol but second best.
Yessss Priceless lol
😂😂😂
I had the same look....now what face is Uncle Ted gonna have? Better yet Papa Mai???? 🤦🏿♀️
I thought she said "second bad" referring papa Mai was bad but uncle Ted is worse, so he is the second bad :)
Jeannie’s facial expression was EXACTLY mines when Mama Mai was talking about Uncle Ted..😦
😂😂😂😂 I’m dying the expression killing me
😀😀😀😀😀
Yikes
ya that was so awkward, like i dont think she meant it this way but it sounded like she was saying she was in love with her ex but she lost him so she settled for uncle ted😬
you
I love her honesty. No one else would admit their true feelings like this. 😭😭😭
Its interesting to see someone still learning about themselves at 60 and even admitting to some mistakes. Its nice that she’s allowing herself to still learn and grow. Thats great Momma Mai. May you find true happiness 💗
I understand Mama Mai. When you’ve been abused it’s easier to keep the wall up than be vulnerable. I am 49. I’m working on that too.
No you are NOT 49! With that baby face? Well, you're beautiful. Keep taking good care of yourself.
I agree with Momo lida, you have a beautiful face. I hope you are well and am sure the future has many pleasant surprises for you. Life starts at 50 ❤
Jeannie's relationship with Mama Mai is like nothing I've ever seen 😭.
Lawd, I’m literally crying of how upset Mamma Mai got when she’s speaks about her dad. When she brings up the reason she didn’t have a wedding, it broke my heart.
Me too, I cried
Heartbreaking, dads are such a big part of a girl's life, it can be traumatic when they don’t show up. I completely understand her pain.
@@Msheepz same
Sheweatie I m Crying Now in tears , not sure I can watch it All.. I Feel Moma Mia❤️ Pain !!!! talking about her father, & how she felt not wanting a wedding, to how she escaped the pain, to Marrying her ex-husband ..to being angry and upset taking it out the kids to her ex husband after Moma Mia , Moma called and upset her about her father .. Moma knew at va young age her Dad wasn’t good to her Mom that’s why she suggested her to Divorce him- her Dad...
I m so Sorry Moma Mia has to go through being traumatized by her Father ..😫 ...to the point it caused a Moma Mia to make decisions out of trying to set herself Free from her Dad
May God continue to Bless Moma Mia and Jeannie, & All of her kids and Family in Jesus name....
This is for Moma Mia and All of Us , as we give our lives to God in Jesus name
Jeremiah-29-11
God have Good plans for our lives , to give us hope and a future, not to harm us
@@Blue-jq9wu amen I believe that too!
Her mother is so beautiful.
She is!!
Omg so gorg! She's very pretty but her mom is so stunning.
Sooo beautiful!
I agree beautiful
She is a very fine woman
Mama Mai is a badass. You can tell she's had one helluva journey and she should be very proud of her 60 years young self. Look at the amazing daughter she raised!!
Felt so bad for mama Mai she’s just like me she always laugh even when she’s in pain 🥰
🙂❤
I feel you. No matter how hurt I am at home, once I step out the door I put on a happy act and act as if I am perfectly fine.
My mom does the same thing in laughing when the situation is serious. It must be a generational way of coping.
Omg yes
Me too
That’s the side of divorce people don’t speak about, the regret. It may not come instantly but it will come one day. Plus, the effect a divorce has on kids, painful.
Take your time in singleness. Don’t rush a relationship.
“It may not come instantly but it will come one day.”
I disagree fully, sometimes divorce is the best thing that could’ve happened
@@Mydear___ I didn’t focus on the decision of a divorce; instead I stated that you will face regret. In life, whether you make a decision that either benefits you in the long run or not- upon reflection you have some form of regret. Regret on why you got yourself into that position/situation in the first place? Or regret on what you or the other party could have done to better that situation?
@@amikahs ok I can see this point of view. I understood your message as saying no matter what you will one day regret getting a divorce 🥴
I feel like Jeanie is low key trying to get her parents back but she also respects ted lololol.
I so agree with you
Her father also is married
@@estherjunior5701 no he is not ( at least from this video ) ... they clearly said « my dad and his girlfriend »
Pops don't want her. That's Dead
I'd like to hear what Jeannie learned from her divorce. When she speaks on the real, people always make assumptions that she's referring to her ex but I would love to hear her perspective & experience.
Mama Mai.... Always stylish... I see where Jeannie got hers
5:58 that wink is so funny. Thats our Jeannie ☺️😏😂 Mama Mai is strong and delicate at the same time. I love that woman
Perfect description -Strong and delicate
Papa Mai is the one that got away. He deserves to be happy.
Lesson learned, you should never take someone (who loves you) for granted. Their story is making me sad. 😭
This is why fathers are important to girls, how fathers treat their daughters are so important, my dad did not show a lot of emotion but he made time to sit with me and talk, watch movies , take me places etc, he has passed on now but their are moments when I have conversations with him . To all the fathers who have made us strong and loving, good job, we love you. Mama Mai we love you , ask for what you want, men are thought not to show emotion from young, so it is hard for them, especially the older generation.
My father only cussed and hit me lol
Moral of the story: Don’t let the One get away. Communication and forgiveness are key.
Mama Mai! You can sit down with Uncle Ted in an area with no distractions (lol) and talk about getting some counseling together. Even if the therapist says that he is not gonna change his mind at the end, you can say that you tried! Don’t give up! We’re rooting for you and we love you!!!
I did, also my best friend give uncle Ted best advice he understands but still no romance, I guess that is the way he born 😂
i agree
Yes this is true. Right now my “the one” is getting married to someone else and We work together. I can totally empathize with mama mai on why she felt that should have been her.
I’m glad Mama Mai is able to talk about her past and accepted her mistakes. This is REAL talk which most of us can relate. Thank you for sharing your experiences. 😘❤️
So proud of her for being able to reflect and learn from her past ❤️
Yes she own up to her faults and that takes a big person to be able to do that.
My exact thoughts! Kudos....
I live for Jeannies facial expressions while Mama Mai talks 😂 and yes we’re so happy the first time they made love you came out. You are a national treasure!
When you have to tell your husband to be affectionate it robs you of the feeling of the affection😐😒
Agreed if I have to tell him to be more affectionate I don't want him
@@chauna5413 exactly!
@Merqo Alishanda hmmm no, that would not be affection to me. That would be begging for him to feel something he really doesn't feel for you.Which means it will be forced and short lived🤷🙅Turn off
@Merqo Alishanda hmm well maybe I'll consider that next time.
@Merqo Alishanda that’s not always the case, you can give and give and not get what you want in return because if a person doesn’t want to change they won’t.....it’s not so black and white sadly....I think if it’s the right person you will both adjust for each other because it will be worth it to both people to make it work
Omg if everyone was as honest as her the world would be better
Right???
i LOVE jeannie's presence when she talks to people!
Yes!! That’s exactly what it is about her that I love. Plus she’s lively and true to herself. Great qualities of a good friend.
@@HigherHer_B Right?! I totally agree, those are amazing qualities to have in a friend and within yourself. It’s inspiring to see. ☺️
Jeanie is such an intelligent woman. I like how she thinks
I love her. She knows she made a mistake and she has dedicated to changing herself for the better. Bless your family.
😢😢😢 You can see this issue of her father really destroyed her!!!
😂😂😂 On a brighter side, I love how funny and excited she gets when she talks about uncle Ted
"Uncle Ted worse than Papa Mai!" LMAOOO! This woman's honesty is on another level.
😂👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 “I believe God is punishing me and gave me second best.” LOL
@@maritzah.4039 I also found it funny when she said, if she dumbs Uncle Ted, nobody else will take him 😂
So true, that part cracked me up. Uncle Ted must find that part unbelievable 😂😂😂
💯
Oh my my my!
“I don’t know what to do with Uncle Ted”... lol DEAD🙉😂 Love y’all!
affection is every woman's desire
Not mine, I'm not affection at all. I don't like ppl touching me 😩😩😔😔😔. I love sharing kinds words and kind gestures just don't touch me.
Lol. Love momma Mai. She's not shading Uncle Ted, I think that's just her love language with him.
But, yes, they should communicate.
Agreed!
This video broke my heart because we all have different situations in our lives sometimes we dont know the hurt and pain our parents bore to bring us into this world their past experiences, pains and hurts may your heart heal in due season Mama Mai , you can not travel back in time to fix your mistakes but you can learn from your mistakes and forgive yourself for not knowing better.
Allison Regis exactly what I was thinking. Sometimes we think of our parents as super human because they work overtime trying to shield us from their pain. When that wall is broken down it’s a beautiful thing.
@@NyssaSayWhat So true! That's why we need to get it out, like Jennie is doing. It breaks the cycle hopefully 🤗
@Allison Regis, thank you for those encouraging words, for all generations now and to come 🤗
@Yllom Sik Yes, Amen!
Wonderfully said Allison....I used to be an angry person due to my parents divorce and things that happened to me. Caused toxic situations with my parents until I lost my dad and realized I don't know what they been through to give me a life. I appreciate them so much now
Mama mai is about 60 years old..??😳wow she looks so much younger then that. I love her 😍
I love y’all!! .... I am naturally a angry, demanding unappreciative wife... I’m very hard on my husband and kids. I have serious problem showing live and affection because that’s how I was raised. Y’all really made me see what the consequences of not communicating what I want, could be and THANK YOU for that! I’m writing this and crying at the same time... I don’t want to be the one who looks back at what I HAD... I don’t want to regret things... what helped you let go of the anger and lack of affection that drives the anger
Forgive your mum and dad for not giving you affection and wot ever issues you hold against them. Stop identifying with anger,it's not the real you. Forgive, forget and move forward...
👌🏼😊See.....THIS ..is why I think so many of us connect with Jeannie the most. Aside from the glamour of being a celebrity, she keeps it REAL. Not saying Adrienne, Loni or Tamera are not honest, but they don't open up 💯 like Jeannie does. Jeannie's honesty might of gotten her in some trouble but at least we get to see the real person behind. So refreshing and uncommon in the entertainment industry. 😬
Exactly. Tamera kept her parents' divorce a secret for 4 years (which I respect, she has every right) so I can understand why people would relate more to Jeannie
YES!!!!!! I AGREE
@@as19J01 true and I respect Tamera for that because she was respecting her parent's wishes. She said she got into trouble for talking about her family on The Real without their consent
@@anneistee7850 yeah Tamera’s mom doesn’t like to be in the spot light at all
Being real is not easy , they have their personal lives and they have the right and they don’t owe us anything. they can be real if they want or otherwise. We are the first person to judge celebrities because of their honesty and how they share their lives openly with us. I’ll be the first to admit that being REAL IS HARD IF SHE IS Real WITH us it IS BECAUSE SHE CAN
This is so raw and emotional. As someone who’s gone through a bitter divorce I appreciate this kind of content.
Thank you for the realness guys!
Healing and prayers to all
Same to you ❤️
Who else shed a tear when mama got sad😓🙋 love you guys❤❤
This explains why Mama Mai is always over at Jeannie’s place and smacking Uncle Ted on his head. It breaks my heart that Mama Mai is wanting romance and feels like she’s being punished for being mean to her first husband. I hope she and Uncle Ted can have romance.
I love how this was so honest and open as usual. 😍😍
"Before marriage, keep both eyes open. After marriage, close one eye." Once in a committed relationship, do not focus on your partner's faults. Focus on the good. Appreciate & cherish the positives. This seems to be what Mama Mai is doing with Uncle Ted. She isn't trying to fool herself, though. She's keeping it 1000, and still enjoying her life. Gotta luv her for that! 🌻
Jeannie, this was a very “real” conversation that surprisingly some women can relate with your mom about. Thanks Mama Mai for being open and expressing the feelings behind “The One That Got Away”. Your love for your mom truly shines always Jeannie. ❤️😊❤️
My mom's passed on. I'd give anything to have these conversations with my mom. You are so lucky.
“If I leave him no one will marry him” lmao omg I cant with mama Mai 😂😂😂🤍🤍
lol that was hardcore
I heard it before when mama mai spoke of her past, but this just confirms just how much past relationship hurt and trauma can transfer into our everyday life. Mama mai's bad experiences with her father affected her decisions onto adulthood and marriage to papa mai. Mama mai if you read this, pray to God to give you a heart of forgiveness and healing. Forgiveness is for us, not the ones who hurt us. We are so happy to have the Mai family share their experiences because we can surely relate. God bless your family. 💕 Love from the Caribbean! 🇹🇹
@TheTrini2012, Thank you, when we know better, we do better! Maya Angelou
TheTrini2012 well said 👍🏼
So beautiful how Mama Mai owned up to everything. Love how honest and genuine these segments are ❤️
I really appreciate you sharing this Jeannie. We forget our parents are humans too sometimes and the lack of generational communication can sometimes cause issues. I think these types of convos are so important, your mum is a real trooper for opening up like this, so much accountability!
I think mama Mai was destroyed from her father’s situation and it affected her terribly... we live and learn so she really does has a point that the person she was before isn’t who she is now
I totally agree
I'm just now realizing that Mama Mai didn't ever have an actual wedding since she quietly got married to Uncle Ted. Maybe....(just thinking out loud here), on her anniversary with Uncle Ted, they renew their vows but they have a small little wedding style party...? Every woman deserves the wedding of her dreams! Thank you so much for this open and honest conversation.
😍😍😍😍
Its a good idea but it needs to come from uncle Ted.
Jeannie, I keep commenting this on your videos and posts, but having you represent the Vietnamese American community and our beauty and struggles.. I really can’t appreciate you enough for how much you are telling your story... our story. For so long, I always wondered if someone like me would be in the media, and our culture has also influenced our upbringing and psychological effects. Thank you so so so so much
This video had me crying and laughing with you. Mama Mai you’re the best . Thank you for sharing your story 😊 ❤️
Y’all will not have me crying this early in the morning!!
Have me over here going through it!
Seeing Mama Mai's transparency is so powerful and inspiring. She is such a strong woman and the world is blessed to have someone like her in this world.
agreed
I loved this video! My heart ached when she talked about your dad’s girlfriend and how she thought about being in her place!
I love the honesty, the rawness and the humor you Mai girls have ❤️❤️❤️
I love how raw and real the conversation got. I was crying with your mom. 😭❤️ You guys always keep it 💯.
Having these conversations with our parents helps remind us that our parents are only human and that they are also learning as they go. Thank you for telling your story. It helps others know they are not alone.
This was heart wrenching at some points but beautiful and so open.
My 1st time watching a full show. I was glued. Loved the honesty and Sincerity
Your mum comes from trauma, she NEEDED your dad to show her and the world he was there for her and would fight the world for her.
With a trauma base it take years to understand why you are who you are or why you react the way you react and even longer without psychological help.
Your mum had done well to understand and reflect on her life. ❤️
I felt this for sure...
This🙏❤️😭😢
We need a “Hello Hunnay” episode where Mama Mai & Uncle Ted plans a romantic date for each other!!!! This will be so funny to see but also heartwarming!! 😂♥️♥️♥️♥️
Yes, maybe halfday only and... will going back to normal 😂
@@oliviasjcbc Omg!! Mama Mai!! 😂😂 YOU GUYS NEED TO SHOOT THIS EPISODE FOR THE HELLO HUNNAY FAM!!! ♥️♥️♥️
Yesssssss
Yesssssssssssss lol would love to see it!
A fantastic idea!!!
Speaking from the heart I believe Mama Mai is in love deep down inside with Papa Mai.
Me too. Thats her soul mate. I do love the friendship her and Uncle Ted have. They are like besties.
Yes mi to
@@vanessak.2353 They're like besties than couples..i hope mama Mai finds peace and let it go completely from the heart.i don't know if that's why she spends most of her time at jeanies place...
Yes I agree. Mama mai never stopped loving Papa mai. That's why she still has mixed feelings. And that's ok
The one who got away😭
The part where Mama Mai said she tried keeping the divorce a secret... same thing happened w my parents. The kids aren't stupid. If something big like a divorce is happening, you have to communicate that with your kids. My parents were really bad with hiding it and they took out a lot of it on us. What they did still has a terrible effect on me to this day. Getting therapy for it and all.
❤️❤️❤️ this was beautiful, our parents are humans and experience things just like us. We often forget to look at them as equals instead of superiors. So being able to reflect and relate to your parents on deeper levels is truly beautiful.
I love honest people lol their words may sting in the moment but you don’t ever have to question how they really feel 😫😂
Alot of women have gone through this same scenario regardless of cultural differences. Thank you for sharing!😭😘😘
We was women are so connected cause we alllll go through the same issues with these ashy ass men! Lol
@@pimpindymepiece ashy men how And she’s the one on the wrong ??
I love this video! I love how transparent she was in this. Take one day at a time ❤️
This was so touching. I love how honest and vulnerable mama mai was.
Its so sad to see Mama Mai emotional when speaking about her past.
I love how honest and open you guys are!
I just adore Mama Mai, thank you so much Jeannie for sharing her with us. Her laugh makes my day.
2 generations of my (Asian) family has been affected by abuse, physical, verbal, mental, you name it. And it is NOT EASY to break the cycle of abuse but also not impossible. Go to the root cause and seek therapy for it. To those surviving and wanting to conquer, keep the good fight. Be courageous and face yourself and keep learning and fighting for yourself.
Momma Mai saying Unc Ted was 2nd best had me dying! 😂😂 As a brutally honest person myself, i appreciate how candid y'all both are!
This made me sad because it seems Mama Mai and Papa Mai still love each other. I love Mama Mai’a honesty. It takes a big person to admit their flaws in a relationship.
Communication is key 🔑. This conversation was important.
True
Aw Mamma Mai's story filled my eyes with tears! She should really communicate with those she loves about her feelings ❤
I love the fact that she became self aware, even when it was painful to watch.. true growth!
It’s a message in what she’s saying, we as women have to listen to it.
OMG. I absolutely loved the episode. I got in my feelings when Mama Mia expressed her feelings. Thanks for being so open.
This was such a powerful discussion that needed to be had. Sometimes with divorce so readily available it's easier to bounce than work it out.
This topic is very needed because when parents divorce with kids involved, they tend to forget about the kids feelings. Kids are resilient, we pick up on everything and are very much aware of your traits. Sometimes we take that trauma with us and try to shield ourselves when we step into relationships and most likely hurt ourselves. First know how to love yourself and change the things you wished your parents did differently because we forget we have the choice to break the cycle. My mom raised me the way her dad raised her and it caused so much pain and heartache I took it with me in my relationships and I finally understood it was me too hurting my relationships. Protect yourself but don't be to guarded, you could pass up your biggest blessing. It starts with yourself, know your worth and know your boundaries. Blessings to all.
I love everything you said. It is the honest truth.
Being a kid from a broken home will break you or you'll end up on drugs or dead. Thankfully my neighbor of twenty years gave me the love I needed to learn and accept my mom. I hope my story helps and I hope if you need peace and love, you find it. If nobody's tells you, I love you and I'm all ears.
We are all strangers and yet here we are bonding over a topic that our parents refuse to bring up.
Mama Mai: No one is "second best"; different people come in your different stages of life for a reason. It's easy to say you lost a good one but when it doesn't work out, it really isn't so good. Uncle Ted is loving on you -- he is the best right now. Love and peace to you!
I really enjoyed this. The feelings are so raw, and it takes courage and love to be able to show your true feelings and accept what has happened. You are a strong woman and you raised a strong daughter. It's not everyday a parent will admit their flaws in front of their children, since they want to be the best role model to their children. I give you kudos Mama Mai 💕👏
This was the meanest/nicest conversation I have ever heard. I miss my mama. Thank you both for sharing so much. I have only ❤️ and respect for your family.
Sometimes, our parents make decisions that they think are in the children’s best interests but they really aren’t. My mom also believed that staying with my father in a relationship that was no longer working would be beneficial to us, but the environment that resulted from that line of thinking was not at all beneficial. We were all happier as a family unit when my parents decided that they were better off as friends.
At the end of the day, I think it’s important to remember that we really are all just winging it in life and figuring this stuff out day-by-day. No matter how old we are and how much wisdom we gain, there is always something new for us to learn or refine about ourselves.
That's something I don't understand, how can you expect your kids to be happy when you are clearly unhappy?
Growing up in an environment were my parents were toxic, unhappy & angry all the time as a kid you can feel & see what is happening & lying about it saying you're still in love & happy is messed up. My Sibling & I have a lot of mental problems because of it. :/
Parents need to be truthful & stop lying to their kids. Its called life, things don't always work out & you should teach your kids about these hard situations & how to be respected & love yourself. instead of lying & trying to shield them.
Because of that ( being an adult now) I noticed my mom is very bitter that she wasted her life with someone who doesn't love her or respect her. We have always wished out parents got a divorce so they can be happy, but I guess its too late now & they're just stuck 💔😣
@@annwolf2127 hi Ann, I think the best you can do with that situation is make sure you apply those lessons in your own life. It’s easy to say what we wish our parents would have done - but they couldn’t give us what they didn’t have.
The way I try to think about it is working on providing myself with what my parents couldn’t - I also grew up in a really chaotic home, so I try to make my space as peaceful as possible. I saw them making very avoidable mistakes, so I watch out for them in my own life, because their DNA is in me and I can be prone to doing the same things they do. I never appreciated the way that they underestimated my intelligence as a child, so I’m very mindful of the way that I interact with and talk to children now that I’m an adult. You have to decide to break obvious patterns, because they couldn’t. It could be because they didn’t know that the pattern was there, or they just didn’t care; but since *you* know that, you can do something about it.
Role models are great, but sometimes, our families are living manuals on what *not* to do, and that’s just as valuable.
@@annwolf2127 Wow!😲 That was a mouth full for any parent! Your future is better than, that one.🤗
@@chantelcarter7656 well articulated, thank you🙏
I thought I had something on my screen then I realized it’s just a a black box next to your name 🙄🤣💀lol
Yoooo “he’s second best” lmao 😹😹😹😹😹
I love this video. Seeing Mama Mai be vulnerable and raw and real. It's beautiful. I hope she finds the love she's looking for. She deserves it ❤️
Many lessons learned from this amazing conversation, but one that stuck out to me is ... don’t take the person you love for granted because there’s someone else out there who will cherish them like you never did❤️
Mama Mai: “I feel sorry for him. If I dump him nobody is gonna marry him” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. YOU KILL ME MAMA MAIIIII❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💋💋💋💋💋💋💋
😀😀😀😀😀😀
Lol...😂😂she is so Adorable, our Mama Mai, love her, to the Moon and Back.🦋❤💋
Lol well her sister did tell her uncle Ted is whack but she was out to prove a point by marrying him😂😂😂 Uncle loves Mama Mai though and he lets her do everything that makes her happy. He's very supportive. That's what matters. You can tell he has a pure heart.
She's so wrong for that 😭😭
J Al Balushi 😂
Far out, asian mums man. This is 100% - the stubbornness, the mind games, being mean...that brought me back to my childhood and having witnessed that kind of behaviour from my own mum towards our dad/family. Good on you Mamma Mai for being so open and honest, not a lot of strong women can come out and admit fault like that. You guys made me cry!
Thank you for understanding 😘🙏
Jeannie can't say what she would have done because she didn't live her mother's life. Her mom had her reasons because of HER father. I hope Mama and Papa Mai find their way back to each other.
So much respect for her being so so honest. This is such a beautiful and raw video. Thank you for this. Helped me a lot in my marriage
I love how you are such a vulnerable person. You are so valuable and the content you create is helpful to so many 💛
There is a special power that parents have over their children 🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️That power either builds a child or destroys them for a big part of their lives. Like ,you cannot escape it🤔🤔🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️....I have seen people cut ties with their toxic parents but even that crushes them🤔
I have cut ties with my sister she is very toxic and slowly cutting ties with my mom. I am a mom myself and refuse to repeat the negative in my life. Thanks for the comment it felt like you could read my mind at that moment. Take care and stay safe out there. Sending you blessings.
I also cut my toxic mother & sister & my mother’s family out of my life. A wise person once told me to cut the cancer & life would be better. Going on 11 years since I cut the cancer & I live a healthy positive life with my husband & children . We don’t choose our family but we can control our own lives & the path we take.
@@chayo78 Love and light 🙏Do you ever wish things were different? Whenever you see healthy mother-daughter relationships, does it crush you on the inside? Do you have a mother figure who has helped you cope with the situation 🤔😭
@@jasminlopez4726 Very many dysfunctional families. I am glad you are doing the best you can for you and your family 👪 ❤ 💕
@@anonnona6433 yes I do but god blessed me with the best mother in law! She took the place of my own mother and she is the best . My mil has no daughters only sons and I think god gave us each other because we can talk for hours , she has taught me how to cook and gives me advise on pretty much everything . They say bad things happen for better things to come . I ❤️ my mil she is the best!!
Thank you for always be so transparent! And yes I have talks like this with my parents.
It always surprises me when someone on RUclips had the same upbringing and scars as me. This video made me so emotional and also made me feel so happy for you two and how healthy you all are in communicating. Life is a work in progress
Mama Mai sacrificed so much and had her children so young, I feel for her as a mom. It brings me to tears to see how much she suffered with her parents.
The Uncle Ted part 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 i have no words
This was so good! Need part 2! Love it.
This is the compassionate and loving Jeannie I love. Very nice how your treated your Mom here! So so sweet!
