Todd has been emotionally unavailable to his daughter for years, tough on her even on her birthdays, and he expects her to listen to him for guidance. Lol
Todd has to do more to make sure she feels like he cares about their relationship. A parent can’t care more about being right then they are about making sure their child is okay. No matter what the age. She should feel like he values her.
I also think it's hard for Todd and his daughter, as I can remember he came into her life late. So when a parent isn't there from the beginning it's always hard.
Hmmm I was wondering about that and it seems like if he wasn't there in his daughter's life from the start he has a lot of making up to do. How dare he comes off trying to be a strict parent when he wasn't there from the start.
@@Glamchic01 ok well I'm finding out about this just now but I still will say even if he didn't know that bond wasn't there from the start. Sorry he didn't know but it is what it is. The fact that Todd didn't know still doesn't give him the right to be so hard on the girl...it's not her fault that he didn't know but knowing this I cam just imagine how he feels about Kayla's mother and I hope he isn't projecting anger towards his child because of this
I agree with you, and that's the problem, he evidently didn't Bond with your her. Being the only child he didn't have to share, he didn't have a sibling to share secrets, he didn't have to give and take you know what I mean. He tried to boss Candy about Riley but she got him straight about her child and her coins. Where's his daddy at????
marcelle collins-clyburn It’s absolutely hard and then to be so emotionally disconnected and want to enforce all these rules...no! It doesn’t work like that Todd.
Todd has to remember for years he didn't know about Kayla and now she see's Riley and ace and now a new baby growing up in life of luxury and she's has to work for everything like Cinderella.
Kaela cannot get mad at that because her dad married into money. As a parent myself, we tend to raise our children as we were raised. Todd was raised to work hard for what he has. Kandi has had money since she was a teen. So Riley knows nothing but money. My husband and I were raised totally different so I do not mind giving our kids what I think they deserve because that is what my mom did. My husband wants them to earn every little thing. It is crazy! Parenting battles!
@@momlife9639 it's not about her being angry that he married into money...he can spend Kandi's money on all kinds of things but Kandi can't give money as a gift?? He's full of it. He should be making up for the years he wasn't in her life by ensuring she doesn't have to struggle. Todd isn't as well off as Kandi but he's far from broke.
If she was 6 or 7 when they met...now she is 22-23...aint no damn excuse. He just don't care. Kayla can't give him nothing to further his opportunistic a$$...so he pays her dust. If he had something to gain...he'd treat her better. He doesn't even really seem to care for having more kids...if you rewind back to earlier episodes...beforw Ace...he mentioned that they already had Riley and Kayla. Men who want children with their wife do not imply issh like that. * shrug...but whatever foe the bag hun.😶
for me todd aint strict ... he's stingy .. he spends it on himself but limits his daughter cus she's 23... I don't see how a 23 year old can get spoiled when she literally sounds like she's mature, works for what she wants and knows what she wants .. so yea that's my unwanted outsider opinion ..
Yes I totally agree. Kandi needs to speak up and intervene and save this young ladies life. Even if she have to help Todd's Daughter behind his back. Kandi should pay off Todd's Daughter credit cards and debts. And guide her from the point of a clean slate. Why is she working? She's needs to be guided into going to college and Volunteering. In the appropriate field of study. So she can focus on Completing her Education to secure and achieve her Financial Independence Kandi know exactly what the outcome. Of How Todd is handling and mistreating his Daughter is going to end up. She's to young to be out on her own. She's to Vunerable. And and vulnerability attracts Predators... Todd would benefit greatly from a parenting course. #Ijs
Exactly like she's grown so it's kind of weird that she can't receive expensive gifts as if he has control over that just because he's her dad... I would give her the gifts anyway if I was candy because he can't control that like that's like a friend of hers giving her a gift for her birthday or something and him being upset about it... Like it makes no sense...
Kayla couldn't live in the guest house?? The energy is definitely off. I feel like she went back to New York for comfort. She felt outta place with yah
Kandi, I think it’s awesome that y’all are being so transparent and creating important conversation amongst our community! None of us can cast judgement because we aren’t in your family. These videos show that you both are always trying to make it work for your family and that is commendable in itself! ❤️
Todd is projecting. At some level, he knows he's never really achieved his success on his own--Kandi is the source of his success--& instead of appreciating Kandi for that he goes all hard*ss on his daughter like 'You need to be financially responsible & stand on your own two feet'. He's actually talking to himself with that message, but that's too uncomfortable a truth for him so he just projects all his financial shame onto his daughter instead. Whereas Kandi actually wants to HELP Kayla, Todd seems like he just wants to lecture & control her.
I get what Todd is saying and understand what he's trying to do. I just feel like maybe he can soften a little more because sometimes you can push people away being so hard on them all the time.
Absolutely. Let's let her focus on school. Imagine having an opportunity to take an unpaid internship under a designer that would greatly benefit her with her aspirations in fashion but having to turn it down because you need to work at a bodega to pay bills instead. Riley will be able to take advantage of such an opportunity. Kayla, probably not. If I had the means to help my child move forward, I would do it, especially a child that is serious. Todd is taking advantage of his opportunities and I am glad that his wife is giving him the seed money to bring these ideas to the forefront. Let's help Kayla, too.
I remember that Todd didn't even know about Kayla till she was 6. I saw her working at OLG. Todd is accepting help. Kayla is struggling. That's not cool. My parents helped me get started and we were not rich.
What do you mean she's struggling? My parents gave my siblings and I different tools get us going as we were different types of kids. One sister got a car while the other had more funding during college. I use to think it wasn't fair but we may all need different kinds of help.
How is Kayla struggling? Because she’s being treated like every other 23 yr old trying to figure out life. It’s the real world she needs to learn how to stand on her own 2 feet god forbid something happen to her parents and Kandi what is she gonna do?
Right I understand what you mean exactly. Kandi has helped Todd a whole lot so if he feels how he feels about his daughter he should accept kandi's help PERIOD
Exactly..im 32 and if i needed help they would help me...but i been on my own since 17 and had to work a regular job and do chores as a child..todd treatment of kayla is odd and like a stepchild..but i get my dad had a stepchild he treated better than me who was his biological child..i didn't like him for years for that
I think Kandi should make Todd struggle lol. Let him see how it feels. He gets to spend how he wants and live all nice and do whatever. Let Kayla live.
"i'm sorry but there's no way i could live in the same house with my child and not talk to them for a MONTH!! whoa that speaks volumes. Then in the previous episode Todd's daughter said that he doesn't express any emotion towards her unless he is upset with her..smh..wow. So what i'm seeing is that because Todd doesn't know how to be a dad to Kayla, Kandi pretty much reciprocated the same energy then Riley and Ace followed along(of course Ace is going to say no when it comes to missing Kayla because he doesn't have a relationship with her). It's like she's a distant cousin living in the house that is over staying her welcome but nobody wants to say anything though because like or not she's family. Truthfully how sad. Todd doesn't even realize that his daughter feels completely left out of his new life with Kandi. So because Todd treated Kayla like an outsider that's how Kandi's side treats her. It's like Todd wants Kayla to be and have this independent mindset but then wasn't around in her life to teach her that responsibility. Riley isn't delusional she sees the way Todd is with Kayla and how he wasn't present in her life before so that could possibly remind her of her own father's absence which makes her distant towards him as well.I'm sorry but i couldn't be to happy in relationship/marriage where both daughters do not like their dad/stepdad. I bet it's even awkward for Kayla toget food out of the fridge. Kayla is in her 20s she needs to try some type of counseling to help with her issues so she can find her sense of independence eventually since Todd isn't doing so. Just sayin.."
@@speaklife7333 I believe I heard Kandi state they were in counseling but since I cannot remember or find where I heard her say that I removed the comment. Sorry Kandi😟
@@RiaE.S I believe I heard Kandi state they were in counseling but since I cannot remember or find where I heard her say that I removed the comment. Sorry Kandi😟
Exactly Todd's glowup with Kandi: from stripped baggy t shirt & working as the RHOA help to dripping in name brands and cars lol. We all need a helping hand Todd and you got one.
Ikr. It doesn't make any sense what he's saying. He says nobody is grown even if they are an adult age unless they are taking care of themselves. Ha! Really! (Go figure! Talking about the pot calling the kettle black.) He needs to practice what he preachs. Because he is doing the exact thing he is speaking of himself. Sad but true. So is he saying he's not grown....😆
Todd needs to get it together or his daughter will further resent him. The bottom line is he’s living a certain lifestyle and I guarantee the two kids you all have will live a certain lifestyle but somehow his first child is “unworthy” of that and needs to earn it. How does that work? Also he still seems fairly detached from fatherhood with Kaela and I know it might be due to him coming into her life later but he needs to work on that. She’s not his homie she’s his daughter and a daughter is one of the works most precious gifts and should be nurtured, loved and treated as such.
Sometimes, Kandi, I feel like u walk on eggshells when it comes to Todd and his daughter. This is understandable. But you now have a daughter with him and I feel like u deserve all the answers you want. So get them. Especially as it pertains to raising a girl.
They better get the talking now and figure out the best compromising solution now before in 5 years down the road as their son gets older and parenting decisions happen divide them and we see them or read about them not doing so well married. These issues can and will divide them if they don't find a common ground on parenting.
Raiding a child together for 18 plus years is away different than telling someone what to do their child when you walked into their life 4/5 years ago .
@@NoName-sp5dp 6 isn't 16 that's plenty of time to bond and get to know each other. That's around the time that children start to form meaningful relationship anyway
We need a part 2 for this speak on it! I feel like we lost a lot of time on Todd... And while I appreciate him defending his parenting that's his business BUT if you're going to put it out there for the world, then you open yourself up to the naysayers. Him and his daughter should maybe consider going to counseling to work through their deep rooted issues. Their relationship on camera makes me cringe when I compare it to how he is with Ace... ijs...
Todd you are forgetting, you are rich now. In your daughter’s eyes you are making her struggle while her sister is living the life. You guys can give her opportunities like her sister. I feel for your daughter 😔. Todd you are living that same mentality when you struggled and made it. Your daughter don’t have to walk in your shoes. You made a new path for her. Todd you got money now.
WTF RILEY has been Kandis daughter her whole life before Kaeli or however you spell it even existed to us. TF... Riley aint Todds daughter. Riley aint come up to money because Kandi married TODD. Todd probably wouldnt want Kandi to give everything she do to Riley, but thats Kandis kid! Cant dictate that! You dont feel for Todd daughter you projecting. You feel for your broke ass. Riley would be very well taken care of, if Todd wasnt in her life. Stop. She is 23 years old,. Has a mom who doesnt want Kandi givin her freebies either. So stop it dork!
I AGREE, HE GOT EVEN MORE MONEY SINCE HE MARRIED KANDI, , AND HE MADE SURE HE GOT HIS NAME ON ALL THE BUSINESSES, YET HIS DAUGHT CANT HAVE ANY MONEY, SHE DONT EVEN HAVE A NICE CAR!
But the purse is a gift. Todd you are wrong, well I wouldn't say you are wrong it's your child but if Kandi gave her the cash then it's up to her to use it for bills. There is nothing wrong with giving her a start and then guide her along. If she mess up after the guidance then it's on her and hope she learn from it. You have to guide your children with Grace. Meaning they will see where they go wrong without you wagging finger and not talking to them for weeks. Allowing a child to walk around with guilt and condemnation will destroy their self esteem, at the end of the day all they want to do is please mommy and daddy.
BS if my child receives $2000 as a gift and she has a $1000 in Bill's she better pay her bills. Then she can enjoy what left over. I don't play that being financially irresponsible mess because next thing you know you'll be asking me to pay your grown ass bills.
@@naturallynailah6983 I'm not saying she shouldn't pay her bills what I'm saying she shouldn't be prevented from taking money. Sorry if you misunderstood what I was saying. Oh Lord yes she should pay her bills, but as you say she is a grown woman. Her dad is teaching her life lessons I'm sure one is pay your bills. Oh my God, I've become one of those people on social media telling others how to deal with their kids, something I hate. It's my profession showing up. Lol
@Dark Chld not only that but NONE of them are thinking about the future if Todd and Kandi divorced, what happens then? Kayla would have became accustomed to someone else's lifestyle and then have it taken away. Whereas Riley is set for life. They also are ignoring the age difference 16 vs 23 is a big difference in age, responsibilities and mentality. Todd is right to encourage independence for his daughter because let's be real once you learn independence and how to prioritize nothing and no one can take that from Kayla
@@cindyben3089 for heaven sake I was making a reference to when Kandi said she offered Kayla money as a birthday gift and he told her no. Don't quote me, I could be wrong.
Kandi don't have to be her biological mother to offer Kayla love and support and sometimes women have secret times together you don't have to tell Todd everything you help Kayla with.
Kayla seems more deserving to be spoiled than Riley in my opinion. Riley seems ungrateful and she needs to learn how to earn. Kayla has proven herself and is very mature for her age.
I have a 25 year old daughter and a 19 year old daughter and kids do not come with the book and you guys are doing a great job keep up the good work and stay blessed
@@Sandra-rt3ez Took the words right out of my mouth! Yes, "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." (Proverbs 22:6) The Bible (including the Apocrypha) is an instruction manual for how to raise your children! He is downright verbally abuse and cold. That is abuse. Not talking to your daughter for days is downright childish. How are you going to say that you are trying to parent your child when you are acting childish by not talking to your daughter and thus holding a grudge.
Kandi trying so hard to not tell Todd what he saying is BS. Todd it may be the blueprint to YOU. It may not be her blueprint. Your way isn’t the only way. A bday is a special day you should be able to live it up on that day.
mzgeist when you have bad credit and maxed out credit cards priority is to take care of those first and then live it up with your own money especially when you are 23
mzgeist * I totally agree, Todd is projecting his upbringing on Kaela, she (I think) has been made to feel different in that household from the start, and its Todd's doing, I agree that Riley is spoiled and I think Todd maybe is trying not to spoil Kaela, but has gone too far, she deserves to be spoiled on her birthday! If she has maxed out cards, it could be bad money management or a symptom of something else.
Cassandra S nope. Buttt. Candy want him like that. She didn’t want him to be independent when he had a position behind the scenes of the show. It often had him traveling. Well. Andy clipped those wing an now he basically working for her. He look miserable. Mama Joyce. Always got some to say about him an Candy money. Maybe that’s why he doesn’t spend crazy on his daughter he really wasn’t brought up like that tho an no he doesn’t have a bond with his daughter. She almost a stranger in the house
@@karenthomas9688 I agree but disagree Todd has business and he does have equity in a company outside of candy and her businesses this is an uphill battle that he fight what does audience y'all hella negative
RealTalk he knew about her since she was 6-7, she worked in OLG as a teenager. He has no excuse either way because children get adopted from that age all the time, it’s up to the parent to initiate the building of their relationship
You may see it that way but not Todd.I think by him saying how he feels,he's basically teaching her a lesson that alot of you are not gttg.She ran up her credit card $2000 in debt nd she expected her Dad to bail her out no not gonna happen.If she made that bill then whatever money she get from her job or birthday money,yeah by right she needs to use that to pay it.Maybe he wouldve helped her out but like he said,she's gotta do right
I feel that Todd should accept the fact that Kandi wants to give Kayla whatever present she chooses for her birthday. I understand that he wants to send her a message but that’s the message he needs to send and not put boundaries on the gifts that others chose to give. Kayla is 23 and although she is his child, she’s old enough as to allow people to give her what they want as a birthday gift. That just sounds ridiculous to me.
I totally get it, and I think your handling being a step mother in the right way!! I have two children that are not my husbands and two children that belong to him and I also... and it is very hard to be on the same page!! So I get it... but it least you and Todd listen to each other.. everyone has struggles with parenting
Correct,but Kandi do not need to try to be her friend,no child rather their your biological parents or not should be friends stepparent or not.Treat that child like a child not as your friend.Bc what's gonna happen she's gonna think she can go to Kandi nd get off freely.
Casandra Morrow that would only make sense if she was a child. But she’s 23 and not her biological child. Kandi is right she care into her life as a teen at this age (23) all she can be is a friend/mentor. Now if she had grown up under Kandi, then yes what you said is absolutely correct, but that’s not the case here.
GameOnRadio! People keep forgetting that this is a new , This marriage is new The relationship between Kayla and Kandi is new ,. U can’t parent a teenager -highschooler like you would in elementary kid. I’m guessing a lot of these people are not married and don’t have blended families because they are very rash with these comments.
I know it must be hard for Kayla who has to struggle. It’s sad. We let our daughter stay rent free for a whole year after she got her nursing degree to save for her own place. Todd you’re able to help her more. She’s very successful and self sufficient now. I’m very blessed.
She seems like a hard working young lady...but it has to be hard on her seeing what you do for Riley, and all the things you give her...like a new car, an expensive apartment in New York...even though you tease her about having to clean her own shower.....there’s nothing wrong with helping her so she can keep working toward her goals and not feel like she’s struggling and yet her step sister gets it pretty easily through you.
Yes facts!!!!!! I was thinking that as well It must be difficult being exposed to such a lavish lifestyle only to be excluded from the benefits by default Not sure what exactly is going on but, you can see her sadness & I can tell that Kandi seems to empathize for her while her dad seems to feel otherwise
Kayla was one of my students( COLLEGE) and she is wonderful young lady. She speaks highly of her family. People love to make stuff more than what it is. i applaud them for teaching her independence and responsibility. it showed when she was a student and i applaud KANDI AND TODD. She would always say "make sure to check out OLG (Campcreek)". I appreciate you all!!
Kandi you should give her money on the side and don't tell Todd. Build your relationship with Kayla. Everyone needs help and it's great you have the means. I am sure your helping Todd do what he aspires to do.
@BblackBeautyy Kayla dont look like she care for anyone. She a grown adult. Yall want her to be babied cuz she dark skin, and the odd child out! stawp it! projecting!
Todd, her getting a birthday gift, financially or otherwise, shouldn't get in the way of her other priorities. That's a specific day and special occasion. Kandi, I could see that you're not all the way comfortable or agree with it. Sometimes when you laugh about stuff ( I don't know if it's a coping mechanism), it kind of take away from the seriousness of the situation and minimalises it. All the best to you guys ❤
Nah. A 1k purse is a privilege. Not a right. If you owe 2k on a credit card...that I have to step in an pay the bill on while you telling me “I’m grown”....absolutely not. Nope. I don’t care how rich I am.
I think he doesn't want it thrown in his face, he been catching hell from Candy mom thinking he want money but when you a man an move in the womans house We all think damn thirsty you couldnt wait til he provided for you it is what it is Man up Todd get ya own stuff bro
Wait. If it's your birthday and you owe money on a credit card, people shouldn't be giving you a $1000 purse if they wanted to gift you that? Damn. None of us would be getting gifts for our birthday... other than those that are completely free of debt. This is such a messy dynamic. Maybe his daughter should just wish on a star that a wealthy partner will eventually come along for her, then she'll finally understand what he's trying to "teach her". 😬
I understand Todd but he needs to show her more love. Why is she being forced to take care of her bills within this family? From the outside looking in, it can look like she is the outsider. Riley doesn't have to want for nothing so why does Kaela. I think all kids should be treated the same and Todd shouldn't allow his daughter to be treated as such. That makes me uncomfortable.
I get what you're saying but Riley isn't an adult. I think it would be different if the two oldest were closer in age, both in high school and Kandi and Todd married 7/8 yrs. ago.
I don’t think Kayla has a problem with parenting style but she wants him to be more emotionally supportive to her meaning she wants more affirmation from him.
I see nothing wrong with how Todd is handling things. These kids are spoiled and expect things handed to them on a silver platter. That might be how Kandi handles, Riley, but that doesn't mean that should be the parenting style for everyone or that Todd should have changed his parenting style. She's an adult, you create bills, you pay those bills. Learn how to take care of yourself.
If a 23 year old cant handle basic needs like paying rent, electric, water, insurance, etc...if they cant handle and be responsible with $1000 what do you think they'll do with 100K or 1M. It's very hard to teach responsibility in excess. I understand what Todd is trying to do. Kandi herself emphasize on budgeting. That is a learned behavior.
Todd keep talking about finances that girl said he shows her no emotion ... And the age Kayla is at she needs her father emotionally that is very important, she'll adapt to life and the way of living but emotionally speaking you can look at that girl and tell she's hurting
Well that is 2 different situation that we don't truly know what's going on there on that issue,with him not knowing any emotions.They did speak on it a little on the show.So I can't say what's going on there between on that issue.I do think part of it,she knows her Dad has money to bail her out of debt nd she wants him to pay it.Plus she's gotta work to pay her Bill's especially the debt she ranned up now that's her responsibility not his.She thinks she's gonna get out of it the easy way nd her Dad pays it Nottt!I can say Todd is doing right on that part for sure.Live nd learn kid's or pay the consequences
Thai Savage no he’s absolutely right she needs to stay on top of her finances certain things you can adapt and learn later on in life with no consequences but if you aren’t handling your business correctly that dominoes into your life later on. She wants to be coddled and the real world isn’t going to coddle her. She’s 23 she shouldn’t be so dependent on her dad.
I agree with Todd TOTALLY, Im going through the same thing with my 23 year old. He is speaking facts. To walk in her parents house and Not speak is disrespectful..
Todd just needs to give more emotional support. Kaela clearly is asking for it. It's not about the money or the day to day. I think Todd is missing that.
@@JuanitaMichelle it's not too late either. Todd will have to initiate the repair. He could start by sending texts saying he's just checking in on her and ask brief questions about school; not mentioning anything about else and then closing by saying that he's proud of her loves her once a week to start with. Then slowly increasing the texts over time. Bombarding her with suddenly would not seem genuine. If she opens up and responds they can build on the verbal communication. Also he will have to apologize for not meeting her emotional needs; whether he thinks he has or not because she's young. Yes she's "technically" an adult but these feelings developed as a child; therefore, the parent needs to apologize to heal the emotional wound. Then they can build a new adult father/daughter relationship that is strong and loving. I've seen it work. However the older she gets the harder it will be; but it's not impossible.
Bet money Todd's kids with Kandi don't get treated like his oldest daughter. With Kayla, there's a bit of coldness there. I understand parenting, but taking her to a strip club indicates this is not a typical father daughter relationship. And if he thinks all the subtle shade thrown at her here is going to help things...he's mistaken. Best thing Kayla can do is accept she's an outsider....not in the same category as the other children. It is what it is. Accept her father for who he is, and who he is not.
You said that!!! The sad thing is the step parent/parent continues lying about how they “love you the same”. It is bs and it shows. True facts.... accept that she is an outsider. It will save her a world of hurt!
When I tell you what I want for my child you better comply! You may not like it but do not go against it! Period! Kandi I admire you for staying in your Lane! Just like you keep him in his Lane when you do for R&B! Been there done that! All I could do is listen even when I was totally against what he wanted! I had a step dad and he and my mom did not see eye to eye! I played him so many times and he would take the heat! But when he cross the line my mother told him my way or the highway and he was team Mom!!! I couldn’t make that man go against her ever again!!!!
When I comment in videos online, I try to remember that it’s impossible to see all perspectives on a situation, because I am only seeing a VIDEO. I am not THERE.
I like how when Kandi was saying how Kayla be doing stuff, Todd did say “it’s not to beat her up tho”. They got issues but he still wants his daughter respected and not to be the blame. They just might need counseling, without the cameras. Kayla might not be a camera human
She dont seem to be living the same lifestyle as family....Todd over here buying all kinda stuff and his kid is working needing to help with bills for a household that has millions and other child at 16 is living the life of a rich kid on a trust fund....Just seems odd.
Kandi just love watching you, Love your new show [SPEAK ON IT] just found it SUBSCRIBED, AND YOUR A GREAT MOM, CONGRATS ON NEW BABY, AND RILEY GETTING EXCEPTED IN NYC. God Bless You And Your Family.
OMG TODD! I will be 50yrs old. I have a 23yr old and 27 yr old. Parenting them is the hardest. I commend you and your thought process. Well said.. They wont learn until it's time to pay the Bill's. Indeed, we have the blue print but, it's their job to take it and make it their own. Keep doing you..it will pay off. Great job!
Bravo Todd! I'm from NY and I think the way we were raised in the city is part of difference. My daughter is 20 yo (in April) and yes they do go through the struggle of being independent and understanding they can't be an adult or do what they want in someone else's house. I told my daughter the same thing. I provide the blue print and if you don't choose the follow it then it's on you! You are an adult when you learn to do things and get out of your troubles without me having to clean up your mess all the time.
He doesn't but clarification, he does need to give and im glad he did. We only see a snapchot of their lives. He explained his views well better than bravo show allows!
I'm glad you spoke on the topic of a "blended family". I've experienced it myself. Three words "challenging". Just stand your ground and make sure "respect" is given all the times. And stay "PRAYED UP"!! . Love you Kandi-girl.💞😘🤗
Todd makes a lot of sense with his parenting style! I totally agree with him, however there always has to be a balanced so I hope he is loving her just as hard ! ❤️
He said disrespectful in the house. But you take your daughter to a strip club you don't think that disrespectful. But you want respect from your child. Prideorty he got his mix and mess up. Taking your child to a strip club
taking ur young adult to the strip club versus being disrespectful in ur parents home are TWO different things... we dont kinow how long they stayed at the strip club, so u cant compare the two
She was over 21 and its his child. Going to a strip club is not against the law. I have two daughters over 21, I would let them party with me in a strip club or more like they would let me party with them in a strip club. I can't ever see myself partying in a strip club with my son something about that just isn't right. Now that I think about it a Dad partying with his young daughter in a strip club is questionable, each its own I guess.
Todd's explanation is bs. That has nothing to do with how she feels like he shows no emotion nor love. Damn, a 'nice job' goes a long way!!! I'm proud of you, something! Meanwhile I hate to say it, but Riley wil never learn how to be independent because she's spoiled. Kandi created a monster. The girl doesn't even know how to fill ice cube trays for God's sake. That wasn't funny at all.
Yes i believe riley is not independent. She didnt work to get her apartment. She just started colleged and she has a rich mom.. But kayla she might will know more learn more by experiences . And filling ice trays .come on now.. This not bakc in the day. Seriously lol
Todd don’t want his daughter to be spoiled and have everything handed to her. He wants to build her work ethic and character. Plus he’s a New Yorker. Most New Yorkers have a hard persona that you have to break through. I get what he’s saying. Let Kaela go out into the world 🌎 and see if she can handle it and if she can’t she knows she has Kandi and Todd and her mom to help her WHEN she need help. Experience is the best teacher. Kandi slide Kaela some money in a secret account.
Oh but he’s getting help from Kandi and he’s a GROWN MAN. He cldnt drive the cars or live in the house he lives in if it wasn’t for Kandi but he’s still driven. Help is not a HANDOUT.
You do that as a child. That time has past. You have to stop trying to “raise” your children and be there to guide them, when they need you. She’s not a child. He’s going to have a threshold for her to overcome in order to get anything. He’s never going to be satisfied.
Todd seems like he is fighting fire with fire. Because she is mad instead of finding out why, you get mad back?? You're the father of a young woman. It's different. You have to handle her with care.
I am not a fan of Todd in general, and for sure not his hardness with his daughter...Your children should feel your love, no matter what you are trying to teach them...Todd’s daughter is not feeling love from Todd, because Todd is ABSOLUTELY not loving to her!!! Todd, you are the real grownup, so grow-up...Your daughter is trying to find her way, but what you are doing with your unloving foul attitude, is setting your daughter up for failure, which opens the door up for her to look for love in all the wrong places, with HEARTLESS MEN just like her daddy!!! Kandi, you should have stepped up stronger long before now, you know Todd’s ass is WRONG...If Todd’s daughter fails, it’s on your hands also, along with Todd and his wack Childishness!!!
I agree hold heartedly....if your the wife...(you know the strong woman that runs her house hold) come on now!!! Cake up her life style and her bank account like Riley's ADHD looking ass...isns
YES! You wrote what I wanted to write. Him not speaking to his daughter is NOT a matter of both of them. It is him 100%. You are the parent so act like it. Women are to be LOVED. Show your daughter affection that is how we learn. Taking his daughter to a strip club IS PROFANE! He wasn't even there to SEND his daughter OFF. He doesn't want us to judge him? The Most High IS Judging you! You brought your private life into the public sphere. It is fair game! Especially when we see this beautiful Daughter of Zion being mistreated by her own biological father.
You know what this a teachable moment, this will be interesting to see how this works out with Ace & Blaze. With Mom & Dad. In 20 years😂 Will their parenting skill change are remain the same?
I feel like Todd doesn't have a problem spending Kandi's money but he has a problem with someone else , even his daughter spending his money. He throws out money at strippers why cant he give his daughter some starting money for new york and or a buisness. Like she cant HAVE anything be given to her she has to go out and make it on her own. Almost like he feels that giving her luxury things is wasteful.
Might be spending it becuz when they divorce he won't get .that prenitual agreement still n his heart n the divorce will be a nasty one.not feeling him c only bad vibes .his daughter prefer to be in povity in N.Y then to leave with his greed behind.my thoughts base on what I c on T.V
Why do you think he’s spending Kandi’s money? Do y’all realize he was successful before kandi. He was the production manager on the biggest reality show on tv. I’m sure he was doing better than most people on the comments hating.
I love these behind the episodes
Todd has been emotionally unavailable to his daughter for years, tough on her even on her birthdays, and he expects her to listen to him for guidance. Lol
Todd has been a good dad to his daughter.
Right!
its hard when you have 2 different parenting styles regardless of the money but things will work out!
Todd has to do more to make sure she feels like he cares about their relationship. A parent can’t care more about being right then they are about making sure their child is okay. No matter what the age. She should feel like he values her.
I also think it's hard for Todd and his daughter, as I can remember he came into her life late. So when a parent isn't there from the beginning it's always hard.
Hmmm I was wondering about that and it seems like if he wasn't there in his daughter's life from the start he has a lot of making up to do. How dare he comes off trying to be a strict parent when he wasn't there from the start.
social media he never knew he had a child..it’s not like he knew and was an absentee father
@@Glamchic01 ok well I'm finding out about this just now but I still will say even if he didn't know that bond wasn't there from the start. Sorry he didn't know but it is what it is. The fact that Todd didn't know still doesn't give him the right to be so hard on the girl...it's not her fault that he didn't know but knowing this I cam just imagine how he feels about Kayla's mother and I hope he isn't projecting anger towards his child because of this
I agree with you, and that's the problem, he evidently didn't Bond with your her. Being the only child he didn't have to share, he didn't have a sibling to share secrets, he didn't have to give and take you know what I mean. He tried to boss Candy about Riley but she got him straight about her child and her coins. Where's his daddy at????
marcelle collins-clyburn It’s absolutely hard and then to be so emotionally disconnected and want to enforce all these rules...no! It doesn’t work like that Todd.
Todd has to remember for years he didn't know about Kayla and now she see's Riley and ace and now a new baby growing up in life of luxury and she's has to work for everything like Cinderella.
Kaela cannot get mad at that because her dad married into money. As a parent myself, we tend to raise our children as we were raised. Todd was raised to work hard for what he has. Kandi has had money since she was a teen. So Riley knows nothing but money. My husband and I were raised totally different so I do not mind giving our kids what I think they deserve because that is what my mom did. My husband wants them to earn every little thing. It is crazy! Parenting battles!
@@momlife9639 it's not about her being angry that he married into money...he can spend Kandi's money on all kinds of things but Kandi can't give money as a gift?? He's full of it. He should be making up for the years he wasn't in her life by ensuring she doesn't have to struggle. Todd isn't as well off as Kandi but he's far from broke.
Aww this hurts my heart
Elaine Bird It absolutely does
If she was 6 or 7 when they met...now she is 22-23...aint no damn excuse. He just don't care. Kayla can't give him nothing to further his opportunistic a$$...so he pays her dust. If he had something to gain...he'd treat her better. He doesn't even really seem to care for having more kids...if you rewind back to earlier episodes...beforw Ace...he mentioned that they already had Riley and Kayla. Men who want children with their wife do not imply issh like that. * shrug...but whatever foe the bag hun.😶
Kandi don’t be playing about her lighting 💡enjoyed this episode!!!
for me todd aint strict ... he's stingy .. he spends it on himself but limits his daughter cus she's 23... I don't see how a 23 year old can get spoiled when she literally sounds like she's mature, works for what she wants and knows what she wants .. so yea that's my unwanted outsider opinion ..
Ace was so cute praying over his food. Love you Kandi B
Todd a hater. How you gone stop Kandi from doing things for your daughter ?
Kandi feels bad for Todd's daughter to you can tell and she hardly wants to speak abt it
Yes I totally agree. Kandi needs to speak up and intervene and save this young ladies life. Even if she have to help Todd's Daughter behind his back. Kandi should pay off Todd's Daughter credit cards and debts. And guide her from the point of a clean slate. Why is she working? She's needs to be guided into going to college and Volunteering. In the appropriate field of study. So she can focus on Completing her Education to secure and achieve her Financial Independence
Kandi know exactly what the outcome. Of How Todd is handling and mistreating his Daughter is going to end up. She's to young to be out on her own. She's to Vunerable. And and vulnerability attracts Predators... Todd would benefit greatly from a parenting course. #Ijs
Kandi speaks up about everybody else's business why not her step-daughter who she claims to love or maybe like a little
Exactly like she's grown so it's kind of weird that she can't receive expensive gifts as if he has control over that just because he's her dad... I would give her the gifts anyway if I was candy because he can't control that like that's like a friend of hers giving her a gift for her birthday or something and him being upset about it... Like it makes no sense...
Kayla couldn't live in the guest house?? The energy is definitely off. I feel like she went back to New York for comfort. She felt outta place with yah
Exactly all that house!!!
I love the transparency of you guys... everything will work out!
Kandi, I think it’s awesome that y’all are being so transparent and creating important conversation amongst our community! None of us can cast judgement because we aren’t in your family. These videos show that you both are always trying to make it work for your family and that is commendable in itself! ❤️
Congrats to Riley on her college acceptance.😍
Congratulations to Riley
Todd is projecting. At some level, he knows he's never really achieved his success on his own--Kandi is the source of his success--& instead of appreciating Kandi for that he goes all hard*ss on his daughter like 'You need to be financially responsible & stand on your own two feet'. He's actually talking to himself with that message, but that's too uncomfortable a truth for him so he just projects all his financial shame onto his daughter instead. Whereas Kandi actually wants to HELP Kayla, Todd seems like he just wants to lecture & control her.
I get what Todd is saying and understand what he's trying to do. I just feel like maybe he can soften a little more because sometimes you can push people away being so hard on them all the time.
@Andrea Gomez Exactly
Absolutely. Let's let her focus on school. Imagine having an opportunity to take an unpaid internship under a designer that would greatly benefit her with her aspirations in fashion but having to turn it down because you need to work at a bodega to pay bills instead. Riley will be able to take advantage of such an opportunity. Kayla, probably not. If I had the means to help my child move forward, I would do it, especially a child that is serious. Todd is taking advantage of his opportunities and I am glad that his wife is giving him the seed money to bring these ideas to the forefront. Let's help Kayla, too.
She will be better for it in the long run
Yes. Totally agree
Todd means we’ll. He’s trying to make them responsible. Just don’t forget to give her love and time🙏❤️
I remember that Todd didn't even know about Kayla till she was 6. I saw her working at OLG. Todd is accepting help. Kayla is struggling. That's not cool. My parents helped me get started and we were not rich.
What do you mean she's struggling? My parents gave my siblings and I different tools get us going as we were different types of kids. One sister got a car while the other had more funding during college. I use to think it wasn't fair but we may all need different kinds of help.
How is Kayla struggling? Because she’s being treated like every other 23 yr old trying to figure out life. It’s the real world she needs to learn how to stand on her own 2 feet god forbid something happen to her parents and Kandi what is she gonna do?
Right I understand what you mean exactly. Kandi has helped Todd a whole lot so if he feels how he feels about his daughter he should accept kandi's help PERIOD
Exactly..im 32 and if i needed help they would help me...but i been on my own since 17 and had to work a regular job and do chores as a child..todd treatment of kayla is odd and like a stepchild..but i get my dad had a stepchild he treated better than me who was his biological child..i didn't like him for years for that
I think Kandi should make Todd struggle lol. Let him see how it feels. He gets to spend how he wants and live all nice and do whatever. Let Kayla live.
"i'm sorry but there's no way i could live in the same house with my child and not talk to them for a MONTH!! whoa that speaks volumes. Then in the previous episode Todd's daughter said that he doesn't express any emotion towards her unless he is upset with her..smh..wow. So what i'm seeing is that because Todd doesn't know how to be a dad to Kayla, Kandi pretty much reciprocated the same energy then Riley and Ace followed along(of course Ace is going to say no when it comes to missing Kayla because he doesn't have a relationship with her). It's like she's a distant cousin living in the house that is over staying her welcome but nobody wants to say anything though because like or not she's family. Truthfully how sad. Todd doesn't even realize that his daughter feels completely left out of his new life with Kandi. So because Todd treated Kayla like an outsider that's how Kandi's side treats her. It's like Todd wants Kayla to be and have this independent mindset but then wasn't around in her life to teach her that responsibility. Riley isn't delusional she sees the way Todd is with Kayla and how he wasn't present in her life before so that could possibly remind her of her own father's absence which makes her distant towards him as well.I'm sorry but i couldn't be to happy in relationship/marriage where both daughters do not like their dad/stepdad. I bet it's even awkward for Kayla toget food out of the fridge. Kayla is in her 20s she needs to try some type of counseling to help with her issues so she can find her sense of independence eventually since Todd isn't doing so. Just sayin.."
That's brilliant if they are in counseling we did not catch that hope it do them good,and we see them as proper father & daughter we all be so happy.
keep in mind this is reality tv so let's not think that everything is true,
They have story lines that are made up to
@@speaklife7333 I believe I heard Kandi state they were in counseling but since I cannot remember or find where I heard her say that I removed the comment. Sorry Kandi😟
@@RiaE.S I believe I heard Kandi state they were in counseling but since I cannot remember or find where I heard her say that I removed the comment. Sorry Kandi😟
Oh Todd, give your daughter a helping hand the same way Kandi gave you one!
That part.
Lol
😂😂😂😂
Exactly Todd's glowup with Kandi: from stripped baggy t shirt & working as the RHOA help to dripping in name brands and cars lol. We all need a helping hand Todd and you got one.
Exactly and still is he steady buying shit with her money
So it’s ok for Kandi to buy him nice things but not his daughter for HER BDAY lol ok
Exactly...he getting all the benefits and spending money like water....
So true at least for her birthday and Christmas, he's a real life scrounge.
As a Great Parent you don't reward Disrespectful Kids. That's what wrong with America now
@@jazztravis6817 that part!!
Ikr. It doesn't make any sense what he's saying. He says nobody is grown even if they are an adult age unless they are taking care of themselves. Ha! Really! (Go figure! Talking about the pot calling the kettle black.) He needs to practice what he preachs. Because he is doing the exact thing he is speaking of himself. Sad but true. So is he saying he's not grown....😆
Todd needs to get it together or his daughter will further resent him. The bottom line is he’s living a certain lifestyle and I guarantee the two kids you all have will live a certain lifestyle but somehow his first child is “unworthy” of that and needs to earn it. How does that work? Also he still seems fairly detached from fatherhood with Kaela and I know it might be due to him coming into her life later but he needs to work on that. She’s not his homie she’s his daughter and a daughter is one of the works most precious gifts and should be nurtured, loved and treated as such.
Your wrong
Casandra Morrow ur wrong stfu
Yes Todd fall back and let Kandi spoil her like she do her daughter...💯❤️💯❤️
I think it’s maybe deeper than that 💯💯 it just shows in her face
Rykel Zyun Facts!
Todd really sucks as a father to his daughter. Sadly he doesn't help her just like kandi helped him . I wish kandi would speak up more
Sometimes, Kandi, I feel like u walk on eggshells when it comes to Todd and his daughter. This is understandable. But you now have a daughter with him and I feel like u deserve all the answers you want. So get them. Especially as it pertains to raising a girl.
They better get the talking now and figure out the best compromising solution now before in 5 years down the road as their son gets older and parenting decisions happen divide them and we see them or read about them not doing so well married. These issues can and will divide them if they don't find a common ground on parenting.
Raiding a child together for 18 plus years is away different than telling someone what to do their child when you walked into their life 4/5 years ago .
Not the same thing. She wasnt known about until she was 6
@@cindyben3089 exactly. Their issues will start with Ace. Todd will definitely be stricter on Ace being a young man.
@@NoName-sp5dp 6 isn't 16 that's plenty of time to bond and get to know each other. That's around the time that children start to form meaningful relationship anyway
there is a very clear and obvious difference with the way Riley and kayla are treated within this home.....and it's very uncomfortable to watch
Todd would be the same way with riley if he could but be can't, u can tell that kandi doesn't fully agree with his parenting
And not the person with the most money doing it.
We need a part 2 for this speak on it! I feel like we lost a lot of time on Todd... And while I appreciate him defending his parenting that's his business BUT if you're going to put it out there for the world, then you open yourself up to the naysayers. Him and his daughter should maybe consider going to counseling to work through their deep rooted issues. Their relationship on camera makes me cringe when I compare it to how he is with Ace... ijs...
Shalonda I totally agree! I thought it was so hard to see when she said all that!
Yes will he this hard on
Ace? Now that will be definitely be a slap in the face to that girl. His daughter is doing a great job
Todd you are forgetting, you are rich now. In your daughter’s eyes you are making her struggle while her sister is living the life. You guys can give her opportunities like her sister. I feel for your daughter 😔. Todd you are living that same mentality when you struggled and made it. Your daughter don’t have to walk in your shoes. You made a new path for her. Todd you got money now.
so true.
SunShineinMiami2 what does his money have to do with her being responsible with hers .... some of you all not suppose to have kids.
SunShineinMiami2 exactly 👏
WTF RILEY has been Kandis daughter her whole life before Kaeli or however you spell it even existed to us. TF... Riley aint Todds daughter. Riley aint come up to money because Kandi married TODD. Todd probably wouldnt want Kandi to give everything she do to Riley, but thats Kandis kid! Cant dictate that! You dont feel for Todd daughter you projecting. You feel for your broke ass. Riley would be very well taken care of, if Todd wasnt in her life. Stop. She is 23 years old,. Has a mom who doesnt want Kandi givin her freebies either. So stop it dork!
I AGREE, HE GOT EVEN MORE MONEY SINCE HE MARRIED KANDI, , AND HE MADE SURE HE GOT HIS NAME ON ALL THE BUSINESSES, YET HIS DAUGHT CANT HAVE ANY MONEY, SHE DONT EVEN HAVE A NICE CAR!
But the purse is a gift. Todd you are wrong, well I wouldn't say you are wrong it's your child but if Kandi gave her the cash then it's up to her to use it for bills. There is nothing wrong with giving her a start and then guide her along. If she mess up after the guidance then it's on her and hope she learn from it. You have to guide your children with Grace. Meaning they will see where they go wrong without you wagging finger and not talking to them for weeks. Allowing a child to walk around with guilt and condemnation will destroy their self esteem, at the end of the day all they want to do is please mommy and daddy.
BS if my child receives $2000 as a gift and she has a $1000 in Bill's she better pay her bills. Then she can enjoy what left over. I don't play that being financially irresponsible mess because next thing you know you'll be asking me to pay your grown ass bills.
@@naturallynailah6983 I'm not saying she shouldn't pay her bills what I'm saying she shouldn't be prevented from taking money. Sorry if you misunderstood what I was saying. Oh Lord yes she should pay her bills, but as you say she is a grown woman. Her dad is teaching her life lessons I'm sure one is pay your bills.
Oh my God, I've become one of those people on social media telling others how to deal with their kids, something I hate.
It's my profession showing up. Lol
@Dark Chld not only that but NONE of them are thinking about the future if Todd and Kandi divorced, what happens then? Kayla would have became accustomed to someone else's lifestyle and then have it taken away. Whereas Riley is set for life. They also are ignoring the age difference 16 vs 23 is a big difference in age, responsibilities and mentality. Todd is right to encourage independence for his daughter because let's be real once you learn independence and how to prioritize nothing and no one can take that from Kayla
Yvonne Burton When did Todd prevent Kayla from making money ?
@@cindyben3089 for heaven sake I was making a reference to when Kandi said she offered Kayla money as a birthday gift and he told her no. Don't quote me, I could be wrong.
Kandi don't have to be her biological mother to offer Kayla love and support and sometimes women have secret times together you don't have to tell Todd everything you help Kayla with.
Exactly.
Kayla seems more deserving to be spoiled than Riley in my opinion. Riley seems ungrateful and she needs to learn how to earn. Kayla has proven herself and is very mature for her age.
I have a 25 year old daughter and a 19 year old daughter and kids do not come with the book and you guys are doing a great job keep up the good work and stay blessed
Yes children's do come with a book,not by man's laws but by Gods laws yes.God's law is his word the Bible.Read Ephesian 6
Well said well said
I agree. I am definitely Team Kandi and Todd. My nephew is 23 and I know where Todd is coming from .
@@Sandra-rt3ez Took the words right out of my mouth! Yes, "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." (Proverbs 22:6) The Bible (including the Apocrypha) is an instruction manual for how to raise your children! He is downright verbally abuse and cold. That is abuse. Not talking to your daughter for days is downright childish. How are you going to say that you are trying to parent your child when you are acting childish by not talking to your daughter and thus holding a grudge.
No birthdays gifts even??? Todd is the GRINCH boy.
Kandi trying so hard to not tell Todd what he saying is BS. Todd it may be the blueprint to YOU. It may not be her blueprint. Your way isn’t the only way. A bday is a special day you should be able to live it up on that day.
mzgeist when you have bad credit and maxed out credit cards priority is to take care of those first and then live it up with your own money especially when you are 23
Right! I'm pretty sure he's lived it up on his birthday when he had bills due.
mzgeist * I totally agree, Todd is projecting his upbringing on Kaela, she (I think) has been made to feel different in that household from the start, and its Todd's doing, I agree that Riley is spoiled and I think Todd maybe is trying not to spoil Kaela, but has gone too far, she deserves to be spoiled on her birthday! If she has maxed out cards, it could be bad money management or a symptom of something else.
Especially when he wasn’t there for half her bdays left his mama to raise her
Rockwell finest he only meet/found out about her when she’s was 10. His mother didn’t raise her she was with her own mother back in NY
Sir you're getting an allowance from this woman, the least you can do is give her money.
Bring her on SpeakOnIt
Yessssss
She might not like the spotlight.
Yes👸🏾!!!!!!! I would love to hear Kaela’s point of view on her family’s lifestyle & the treatment she feels @ home🤔🤔
Yes!! That's a good shout!!
They not cuz she gon expose the real
Did Todd have to "work" for all the money that Kandi fronted for "his" businesses?
Say it again for the people in the back!!!!
Thank you. Todd if full of bull. Crap was handed to him
Cassandra S nope. Buttt. Candy want him like that. She didn’t want him to be independent when he had a position behind the scenes of the show. It often had him traveling. Well. Andy clipped those wing an now he basically working for her. He look miserable. Mama Joyce. Always got some to say about him an Candy money. Maybe that’s why he doesn’t spend crazy on his daughter he really wasn’t brought up like that tho an no he doesn’t have a bond with his daughter. She almost a stranger in the house
@@karenthomas9688 I agree but disagree Todd has business and he does have equity in a company outside of candy and her businesses this is an uphill battle that he fight what does audience y'all hella negative
Helping her grow as a person doesn’t mean you can’t be affectionate. Todd can definitely be more emotional. He’s a distant father.. it’s very visible
He aint come into her life until she was fully grown. Didnt know she existed. it shows.
Very disturbing
It is extremely painful to a daughter when they have an unaffectionate dad.
RealTalk he knew about her since she was 6-7, she worked in OLG as a teenager. He has no excuse either way because children get adopted from that age all the time, it’s up to the parent to initiate the building of their relationship
Something about his energy I could be wrong because I’m watching this on my phone but my gut don’t lie
Money for something special like a holiday or birthday should be used for what you want. You can be tough but show more love.
Avery Payne this is what wrong with blacks. Not when you have bad credit and maxed out credit cards.
You may see it that way but not Todd.I think by him saying how he feels,he's basically teaching her a lesson that alot of you are not gttg.She ran up her credit card $2000 in debt nd she expected her Dad to bail her out no not gonna happen.If she made that bill then whatever money she get from her job or birthday money,yeah by right she needs to use that to pay it.Maybe he wouldve helped her out but like he said,she's gotta do right
@@frankelse745 ...Thank You Exactly my point too
I feel that Todd should accept the fact that Kandi wants to give Kayla whatever present she chooses for her birthday. I understand that he wants to send her a message but that’s the message he needs to send and not put boundaries on the gifts that others chose to give. Kayla is 23 and although she is his child, she’s old enough as to allow people to give her what they want as a birthday gift. That just sounds ridiculous to me.
💯Im like what does a bday gift have to do with her bills. Dafuq?!🤷🏾♀️
I totally get it, and I think your handling being a step mother in the right way!! I have two children that are not my husbands and two children that belong to him and I also... and it is very hard to be on the same page!! So I get it... but it least you and Todd listen to each other.. everyone has struggles with parenting
Correct,but Kandi do not need to try to be her friend,no child rather their your biological parents or not should be friends stepparent or not.Treat that child like a child not as your friend.Bc what's gonna happen she's gonna think she can go to Kandi nd get off freely.
Casandra Morrow that would only make sense if she was a child. But she’s 23 and not her biological child. Kandi is right she care into her life as a teen at this age (23) all she can be is a friend/mentor. Now if she had grown up under Kandi, then yes what you said is absolutely correct, but that’s not the case here.
GameOnRadio! People keep forgetting that this is a new , This marriage is new The relationship between Kayla and Kandi is new ,. U can’t parent a teenager -highschooler like you would in elementary kid. I’m guessing a lot of these people are not married and don’t have blended families because they are very rash with these comments.
I know it must be hard for Kayla who has to struggle. It’s sad. We let our daughter stay rent free for a whole year after she got her nursing degree to save for her own place. Todd you’re able to help her more. She’s very successful and self sufficient now. I’m very blessed.
She seems like a hard working young lady...but it has to be hard on her seeing what you do for Riley, and all the things you give her...like a new car, an expensive apartment in New York...even though you tease her about having to clean her own shower.....there’s nothing wrong with helping her so she can keep working toward her goals and not feel like she’s struggling and yet her step sister gets it pretty easily through you.
Yea that must be hard for her to watch Riley get things easily
Thank you well said
Kandi offered her money and Todd said no. I thought that's what Kandi said. Don't quote me on that
It's hard for me to watch her watch Riley receive
Yes facts!!!!!! I was thinking that as well It must be difficult being exposed to such a lavish lifestyle only to be excluded from the benefits by default
Not sure what exactly is going on but, you can see her sadness & I can tell that Kandi seems to empathize for her while her dad seems to feel otherwise
Kayla was one of my students( COLLEGE) and she is wonderful young lady. She speaks highly of her family. People love to make stuff more than what it is. i applaud them for teaching her independence and responsibility. it showed when she was a student and i applaud KANDI AND TODD. She would always say "make sure to check out OLG (Campcreek)". I appreciate you all!!
Kandi you should give her money on the side and don't tell Todd. Build your relationship with Kayla. Everyone needs help and it's great you have the means. I am sure your helping Todd do what he aspires to do.
How you know she dont
BblackBeautyy if Todd and his daughter not speaking for months, who you think she talking to in the house?? I’m sure she was being supported
True 🙌🏽🙌🏽
@BblackBeautyy Kayla dont look like she care for anyone. She a grown adult. Yall want her to be babied cuz she dark skin, and the odd child out! stawp it! projecting!
Todd talking all that shit, and he is living off of someone else's dime in a MANSION
One day he might need a kidney from that same daughter !!!! 👀
Right.
Todd, her getting a birthday gift, financially or otherwise, shouldn't get in the way of her other priorities. That's a specific day and special occasion.
Kandi, I could see that you're not all the way comfortable or agree with it.
Sometimes when you laugh about stuff ( I don't know if it's a coping mechanism), it kind of take away from the seriousness of the situation and minimalises it.
All the best to you guys ❤
kay alex coping mechanism
@@stacemo Yes, I figured.
Nah. A 1k purse is a privilege. Not a right. If you owe 2k on a credit card...that I have to step in an pay the bill on while you telling me “I’m grown”....absolutely not. Nope. I don’t care how rich I am.
Todd is going too hard on his daughter, she probably feels alienated by Todd
I think he doesn't want it thrown in his face, he been catching hell from Candy mom thinking he want money but when you a man an move in the womans house We all think damn thirsty you couldnt wait til he provided for you it is what it is Man up Todd get ya own stuff bro
Hey Kandi got your text, congratulations to Riley getting into NYU. Oh I am loving your hair braided.
I just got the same text
Kandi I would to speak to you in person
Yes but u don't want to rush kayla out yet even though she is 23 it's crazy out there like sextraffing
At 23 she is not ready for new York yet it is a rough place
@@sheilaeason1190 she's from NY. She's lived there her whole life.
Wait. If it's your birthday and you owe money on a credit card, people shouldn't be giving you a $1000 purse if they wanted to gift you that? Damn. None of us would be getting gifts for our birthday... other than those that are completely free of debt.
This is such a messy dynamic. Maybe his daughter should just wish on a star that a wealthy partner will eventually come along for her, then she'll finally understand what he's trying to "teach her". 😬
I love your videos! Fun fact...we had the same OB and our baby girls were born 1 day apart! 💕💕 Congrats to you and your family!
We need more of this Kandi it’s r&r raw and real Todd will get your viewers up have him on more I love you guys together
I understand Todd but he needs to show her more love. Why is she being forced to take care of her bills within this family? From the outside looking in, it can look like she is the outsider. Riley doesn't have to want for nothing so why does Kaela. I think all kids should be treated the same and Todd shouldn't allow his daughter to be treated as such. That makes me uncomfortable.
I get what you're saying but Riley isn't an adult. I think it would be different if the two oldest were closer in age, both in high school and Kandi and Todd married 7/8 yrs. ago.
I don’t think Kayla has a problem with parenting style but she wants him to be more emotionally supportive to her meaning she wants more affirmation from him.
Because he spending the money
I see nothing wrong with how Todd is handling things. These kids are spoiled and expect things handed to them on a silver platter.
That might be how Kandi handles, Riley, but that doesn't mean that should be the parenting style for everyone or that Todd should have changed his parenting style.
She's an adult, you create bills, you pay those bills. Learn how to take care of yourself.
If a 23 year old cant handle basic needs like paying rent, electric, water, insurance, etc...if they cant handle and be responsible with $1000 what do you think they'll do with 100K or 1M. It's very hard to teach responsibility in excess. I understand what Todd is trying to do. Kandi herself emphasize on budgeting. That is a learned behavior.
Todd is jealous of his own daughter. Continue to love her Kandi. She will be there after the break up 💪
Todd keep talking about finances that girl said he shows her no emotion ... And the age Kayla is at she needs her father emotionally that is very important, she'll adapt to life and the way of living but emotionally speaking you can look at that girl and tell she's hurting
Well that is 2 different situation that we don't truly know what's going on there on that issue,with him not knowing any emotions.They did speak on it a little on the show.So I can't say what's going on there between on that issue.I do think part of it,she knows her Dad has money to bail her out of debt nd she wants him to pay it.Plus she's gotta work to pay her Bill's especially the debt she ranned up now that's her responsibility not his.She thinks she's gonna get out of it the easy way nd her Dad pays it Nottt!I can say Todd is doing right on that part for sure.Live nd learn kid's or pay the consequences
Thai Savage no he’s absolutely right she needs to stay on top of her finances certain things you can adapt and learn later on in life with no consequences but if you aren’t handling your business correctly that dominoes into your life later on. She wants to be coddled and the real world isn’t going to coddle her. She’s 23 she shouldn’t be so dependent on her dad.
Thank you! This is not the issue Kayla has with Todd. It shows you that he is not listening to what she is saying.
Right him and everyone else only talking about the financial but clearly the real issue is she wants love and affection from her farther
@Tamara Geiger yea I guess everyone miss that part
I’m 22 and I get exactly what you mean Todd! My parents and I didn’t talk when I lived at home then I moved out and we talk like old friends.
🙄🙄🙄🙄 why do you always say she is 23? You treat her differently
I agree with Todd TOTALLY, Im going through the same thing with my 23 year old. He is speaking facts. To walk in her parents house and Not speak is disrespectful..
Black parenting is the WORST. Your kid is going to hate you.
Todd just needs to give more emotional support. Kaela clearly is asking for it. It's not about the money or the day to day. I think Todd is missing that.
Sweetie Pie this I agree with. I think it’s the relationship that needs work, not the rules.
@@JuanitaMichelle it's not too late either. Todd will have to initiate the repair. He could start by sending texts saying he's just checking in on her and ask brief questions about school; not mentioning anything about else and then closing by saying that he's proud of her loves her once a week to start with. Then slowly increasing the texts over time. Bombarding her with suddenly would not seem genuine. If she opens up and responds they can build on the verbal communication. Also he will have to apologize for not meeting her emotional needs; whether he thinks he has or not because she's young. Yes she's "technically" an adult but these feelings developed as a child; therefore, the parent needs to apologize to heal the emotional wound. Then they can build a new adult father/daughter relationship that is strong and loving. I've seen it work. However the older she gets the harder it will be; but it's not impossible.
He just like an aggravating black parent! Let them damn kids have it!
Preach
Lakeshia Barnes In the words of Kandi: “Speak On It”!
Lovin the braids💚
ace is tooooo cute talking in the beginning talking bout some "don't cut my sister with that knife" 😩💕 probably the best big brother
Lots of love to Kandi❤❤
Todd has secured the bag without doing shit, but wants his daughter to “work” for what she gets. 🤔
Bet money Todd's kids with Kandi don't get treated like his oldest daughter. With Kayla, there's a bit of coldness there. I understand parenting, but taking her to a strip club indicates this is not a typical father daughter relationship. And if he thinks all the subtle shade thrown at her here is going to help things...he's mistaken. Best thing Kayla can do is accept she's an outsider....not in the same category as the other children. It is what it is. Accept her father for who he is, and who he is not.
You said that!!! The sad thing is the step parent/parent continues lying about how they “love you the same”. It is bs and it shows. True facts.... accept that she is an outsider. It will save her a world of hurt!
I disagree... I think his values and upbringing is just different! Kandi herself is a privileged kid... And doesn't understand the struggle.
carmtrav they sure aren’t!!!! I said the same thing
Chianti Bliss yes!
I swear they won't. Poof Kayla
Todd is controling. He's like "do what i say or get out the way". That isn't real unconditional love, it's control.
It’s obvious Todd and his daughter got some issues and if Kandi wanna do things for her you should allow it and u sound a lil controlling
how are you gonna tell somebody what they should and should not allow...smh
When I tell you what I want for my child you better comply! You may not like it but do not go against it! Period! Kandi I admire you for staying in your Lane! Just like you keep him in his Lane when you do for R&B! Been there done that! All I could do is listen even when I was totally against what he wanted! I had a step dad and he and my mom did not see eye to eye! I played him so many times and he would take the heat! But when he cross the line my mother told him my way or the highway and he was team Mom!!! I couldn’t make that man go against her ever again!!!!
@@princessl5909 I agree.
I don't think he's controlling he want her to know how to take care of herself.
Im surprised that's coming from you, no i don't know you that's true , but i made the assumption because you're a man.
The blueprint portion of Todd’s conversation is ON POINT
Hi 👋🏿 Kandi congratulations 🎉🎊 to Riley’s college acceptance. Kandi look 👀 over those negative comments 😍😘🤗💕....
When I comment in videos online, I try to remember that it’s impossible to see all perspectives on a situation, because I am only seeing a VIDEO. I am not THERE.
I like how when Kandi was saying how Kayla be doing stuff, Todd did say “it’s not to beat her up tho”. They got issues but he still wants his daughter respected and not to be the blame. They just might need counseling, without the cameras. Kayla might not be a camera human
I bet Kandi doesn't talk about that slow talking Riley like she was about Kayla
Agreed. Kandi kinda blames Kayla.
I need Kandi to assist me in turning my shade tree into a money tree 🙏🏾
She dont seem to be living the same lifestyle as family....Todd over here buying all kinda stuff and his kid is working needing to help with bills for a household that has millions and other child at 16 is living the life of a rich kid on a trust fund....Just seems odd.
Something is off with this blended family.Todd daughter is beautiful and sad.🤦🏾♀️
Yea it's strange
But that’s Kandi treating her child like that not Todd...she addressed that she spoils and Todd doesnt
Exactly
I agree. It’s a bit Cinderellaish.
Everybody and their momma been on here EXCEPT Todd's Daughter.......
Kandi just love watching you, Love your new show [SPEAK ON IT] just found it SUBSCRIBED, AND YOUR A GREAT MOM, CONGRATS ON NEW BABY, AND RILEY GETTING EXCEPTED IN NYC. God Bless You And Your Family.
OMG TODD! I will be 50yrs old. I have a 23yr old and 27 yr old. Parenting them is the hardest. I commend you and your thought process. Well said.. They wont learn until it's time to pay the Bill's. Indeed, we have the blue print but, it's their job to take it and make it their own. Keep doing you..it will pay off. Great job!
When was the last time you hugged your daughter?
Exactly, just spending quality time and making sure she knows she is loved and appreciated will help her go so far.
Or even told her he love her
Kandi you are on point! Todd no! I’m with Mama Joyce now!
I think like Todd regarding adult children and responsibilities
Bravo Todd! I'm from NY and I think the way we were raised in the city is part of difference. My daughter is 20 yo (in April) and yes they do go through the struggle of being independent and understanding they can't be an adult or do what they want in someone else's house. I told my daughter the same thing. I provide the blue print and if you don't choose the follow it then it's on you! You are an adult when you learn to do things and get out of your troubles without me having to clean up your mess all the time.
Personally I don’t think you owe no one an explanation
He doesn't but clarification, he does need to give and im glad he did. We only see a snapchot of their lives. He explained his views well better than bravo show allows!
They put it on tv so of course people will speak on it. Otherwise don’t put her on the Show.
I'm glad you spoke on the topic of a "blended family". I've experienced it myself. Three words "challenging". Just stand your ground and make sure "respect" is given all the times. And stay "PRAYED UP"!! . Love you Kandi-girl.💞😘🤗
Team speak on it 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Todd makes a lot of sense with his parenting style! I totally agree with him, however there always has to be a balanced so I hope he is loving her just as hard ! ❤️
He said disrespectful in the house. But you take your daughter to a strip club you don't think that disrespectful. But you want respect from your child. Prideorty he got his mix and mess up. Taking your child to a strip club
taking ur young adult to the strip club versus being disrespectful in ur parents home are TWO different things... we dont kinow how long they stayed at the strip club, so u cant compare the two
She was over 21 and its his child. Going to a strip club is not against the law. I have two daughters over 21, I would let them party with me in a strip club or more like they would let me party with them in a strip club. I can't ever see myself partying in a strip club with my son something about that just isn't right. Now that I think about it a Dad partying with his young daughter in a strip club is questionable, each its own I guess.
I appreciate y’all being so open about these issues. Sparking some much needed and long overdo conversations.
Todd's explanation is bs. That has nothing to do with how she feels like he shows no emotion nor love. Damn, a 'nice job' goes a long way!!! I'm proud of you, something!
Meanwhile I hate to say it, but Riley wil never learn how to be independent because she's spoiled. Kandi created a monster. The girl doesn't even know how to fill ice cube trays for God's sake. That wasn't funny at all.
If you had never seen an ice tray would you know what to do with it???
Riley will be perfectly fine Kayla on the other hand will have some many daddy issues because of Todd
Yes i believe riley is not independent. She didnt work to get her apartment. She just started colleged and she has a rich mom.. But kayla she might will know more learn more by experiences .
And filling ice trays .come on now.. This not bakc in the day. Seriously lol
@@naturallynailah6983 girl I'm sure she's seen an ice tray. even at a friend or relative house, c'mon now....
Todd, you don’t understand the concept of a gift bro? It’s a GIFT lol
Todd is annoying!!! Give that girl her money
Great advice Mr. and Mrs. Burruss. Congratulations to the Burruss Family on your new addition to your family.
Todd don’t want his daughter to be spoiled and have everything handed to her. He wants to build her work ethic and character. Plus he’s a New Yorker. Most New Yorkers have a hard persona that you have to break through. I get what he’s saying. Let Kaela go out into the world 🌎 and see if she can handle it and if she can’t she knows she has Kandi and Todd and her mom to help her WHEN she need help. Experience is the best teacher. Kandi slide Kaela some money in a secret account.
Jae D well I’m think like she was always working she just met Todd when she was 16 you’ll think he want to do A lil more but heeyyy
Jae D the money she slides will do nothing for her.
@@MoveAround694 they met at 10 or 11.
Oh but he’s getting help from Kandi and he’s a GROWN MAN. He cldnt drive the cars or live in the house he lives in if it wasn’t for Kandi but he’s still driven. Help is not a HANDOUT.
You do that as a child. That time has past. You have to stop trying to “raise” your children and be there to guide them, when they need you. She’s not a child.
He’s going to have a threshold for her to overcome in order to get anything. He’s never going to be satisfied.
Todd seems like he is fighting fire with fire. Because she is mad instead of finding out why, you get mad back?? You're the father of a young woman. It's different. You have to handle her with care.
I love his values....heck I just love n respect this family....happy holidays people 🖤
I am not a fan of Todd in general, and for sure not his hardness with his daughter...Your children should feel your love, no matter what you are trying to teach them...Todd’s daughter is not feeling love from Todd, because Todd is ABSOLUTELY not loving to her!!!
Todd, you are the real grownup, so grow-up...Your daughter is trying to find her way, but what you are doing with your unloving foul attitude, is setting your daughter up for failure, which opens the door up for her to look for love in all the wrong places, with HEARTLESS MEN just like her daddy!!!
Kandi, you should have stepped up stronger long before now, you know Todd’s ass is WRONG...If Todd’s daughter fails, it’s on your hands also, along with Todd and his wack Childishness!!!
AEMTRAMP OR SUCCESS AND SEVERANCE OF THE RELATIONSHIP
AEMTRAMP AGREED
I agree hold heartedly....if your the wife...(you know the strong woman that runs her house hold) come on now!!! Cake up her life style and her bank account like Riley's ADHD looking ass...isns
YES! You wrote what I wanted to write. Him not speaking to his daughter is NOT a matter of both of them. It is him 100%. You are the parent so act like it. Women are to be LOVED. Show your daughter affection that is how we learn. Taking his daughter to a strip club IS PROFANE! He wasn't even there to SEND his daughter OFF. He doesn't want us to judge him? The Most High IS Judging you! You brought your private life into the public sphere. It is fair game! Especially when we see this beautiful Daughter of Zion being mistreated by her own biological father.
Honey...toddler aint gone grow up...
You know what this a teachable moment, this will be interesting to see how this works out with Ace & Blaze. With Mom & Dad. In 20 years😂
Will their parenting skill change are remain the same?
You are so Parent Right Hard Work Pays self sufficient is True Life Living Todd you are Right
I feel like Todd doesn't have a problem spending Kandi's money but he has a problem with someone else , even his daughter spending his money. He throws out money at strippers why cant he give his daughter some starting money for new york and or a buisness. Like she cant HAVE anything be given to her she has to go out and make it on her own. Almost like he feels that giving her luxury things is wasteful.
Might be spending it becuz when they divorce he won't get .that prenitual agreement still n his heart n the divorce will be a nasty one.not feeling him c only bad vibes .his daughter prefer to be in povity in N.Y then to leave with his greed behind.my thoughts base on what I c on T.V
Y'all know OLG was his idea, he made money for his family. Todd is not a bum.
Why do you think he’s spending Kandi’s money? Do y’all realize he was successful before kandi. He was the production manager on the biggest reality show on tv. I’m sure he was doing better than most people on the comments hating.
Okay Facts 💯
@@Bloooooooooooppp he ain't had kandi coins
YOU AND TODD do a FAMILY SHOW.....understand more...LOVE this ....You are so down to earth and real....that's why God continues to Bless you.
