SURPRISE TRIP TO JAMAICA TOOK A BAD TURN
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 авг 2017
- We had this idea to surprise our daughter for her 7th birthday with a trip to Jamaica. She'd been wanting to go for a while, and figured this would be the perfect time.
There's no denying the kids' excitement when they found out where we were headed. But their happiness turned to fear when they realized what they were in for.
It's no secret that I didn't grow up with a silver spoon in my mouth. So I wanted to give the kids of the true Jamaican way of life, or at least my experience growing up.
The plan was to spend a couple of days with family. But as you can see, we all got spooked and had to bail the first night and check into one of Jamaica's all inclusive resorts.

Outrageous! Your poor uncle must have felt so bad. Can you imagine how much he was looking forward to your visit?!! Mice are everywhere! Try not to forget where you come from!!
You missed a teaching moment to impart a life lesson to your kids. Life is not always smooth and super-comfy, but you make it work. A Jamaica we come from, we make an uncomfortable situation comfortable, we make it work, no matter what.
Maybe the next day they would have really enjoyed the yard space at your uncle’s house. Maybe they might have met some friends whom they could get to know and play with.
When I go there, I stay at a resort for maybe 2 days of a 10 day vacation, so my kids can see a goat, chickens, a donkey, a neisberry tree, guinep tree, breadfruit tree, go bathe in a river.
And yes, there are mosquitoes, but we carry the bug spray. And the roosters Nextdoor wake us up every morning, and yes, every now and then a lizard crawls on the Wall.
It’s funny because my 6 yr old girl child, wants to go pick it up. She doesn’t run and scream and act crazy, and I’m not apologetic about it either. That was my reality growing up in the country in Jamaica. You seem too insecure about your culture and kids pick up on it and overreact. Don’t ever apologize to anyone, or be embarrassed about who you are my love.
Paul Haye truth!
She said oh my god we had our own private beach hell you are crazy woman whats wrong with bathing amongst other folks and spending time with your homeland folks you are too force ripe we call that go Disney world of florida
This is exactly what my father is always telling me! It’s so true, life won’t always be comfortable but you have to make do!
She's one of the bossy one with spoil kids
Paul Haye. Very well said
Feel sorry for the uncle,and in my own opinion since you were in his house already you should have just slept for the night and check into a hotel the next day.
Your baby girl needs a really nice whooping,or just a scold to put her in line because she is very demanding and lacks respect for other people and this is going to be a very big problem in her life unless if she is going to be under your wing the whole time.im not from Jamaica but I wish you could reflect a good side about how people live there.
Think you are a stupid person 'the place is rat infested do you know what rats carry?
since you know it is rat infested and rats might carry something then you shouldn't had let them go there.
i care too much about the disrespected uncle,every person who watched this video now knows that there are rats in that house and all the other things the young girl was complaining about,the next door people might be watching,just imagine the humiliation.family means a lot to some of us in a way that we cant stand people doing this to theirs.
And the worse thing is that she is clearly reading these comments and she still brazen and wont take the video down.
👌🏿👌🏿 the oldest child is just out of control
LUNGELO THABETHE wait, you mean they left her uncle’s house that very same nigh? Smh
I completely get that sometimes kids hate changes but when you bring your children to your homeland you get rid of pretension, pride and teach humility. Rats are filled in sewers in New York city and a problem even in high end apartments/home. It is not that the kids are acting strange that I got an issue with, is that you are acting like your kids are better than staying at a family home who was gracious to invite you. A lot can change in a minute, it is best you learn and teach the kids to be humble. Don't be the black woman who act like her people are not good enough, or country not up to your standards unless you are in a "nasty" hotel where all kinds of disgusting things take place. The beds you allow them to lie on in a hotel room is filled with bacteria..cause of all the people who lay on those sheets and towels used on people with all kind of disease.
Jenni rren Unedited You are so SPOT on. its all her projection...unfreakingbelievable! first time watching her Vlog and i'm thinking is she really living in NY and behaving that way? Or am I missing something?
So true she herself acting like she's not jamaican I think she only doing it to show up jamaican like her picney dem too nice for the family yard choops.
@@nadinolarichards6825 k how to get rid of spiders
I couldn't have said it better. This woman is proof a little education is dangerous.
Never stay with relatives. Go to a hotel or rent a house. You can visit relatives and leave. No awkward moments.
i couldnt finishing watching this. Too much whining. Unappreciative children.
Completely
TRICIA TROTMAN-MARAJ EXACTLY THE MOTHER DON'T TEACH HER KIDS RIGHT. HOW CAN THEY BE SPOOKED BY RAT THERE LOADS OF RATS IN AMERICA THAN JAMAICA
Y'all don't need to judge.... they on vacation that's why she proudly don't want to discipline them too much she probably did off camera we don't know anything
Didn't like the vid
TRICIA TROTMAN-MARAJ. Yes my thoughts, they really need to be put in a position where they can see that things are not promised to us. They are going to grow up feeling entitled.
I am Jamaican and dislike when Jamaicans forget where they are coming from. Also those that don't teach their children to respect everyone, be grateful and educate them about different cultures and way of life. Sorry I clicked on this video.
butterliz876 u didnt see her writing that she dont want to leave?
didn't waste my time watching the entire video and here i go clicking back on this to reply. shit!!
Denise Mcintosh she didn't want to leave the hotel, not the uncle's house. She whined a lot while she was at the uncle's house
butterliz876 she full a shit
She didn't marry her own ... so what do you expect.
I love the beginning part of this video. I took my daughter and my niece to Jamaica when they were 6 and 8 years old. We stayed with my mom in a community in St. Catherine. My daughter was scared out her whits about the bugs when the bugs came out at nights. Every day she would whine about going to the beach. "When are we going to the beach?", was her mantra. We eventually got to go to the beach at Hellshire, Ochi, and a trip to Port Royal. But for the 3 weeks we were there they basically lived a simple Jamaican child's live, chasing lizards and slugs, looking at interesting plants, going to the corner store, and the local church, getting introduced to the people who lived in the neighborhood, and going on small errands with grandma up and down the countryside. Since then my daughter has been hooked on Jamaica. She is now 28 years old and is planning her own trip to JA. You are planting a seed that will grow for a lifetime.
why did she embarrass her Uncle like that? I don't care if a Goat was in the house..instead of airing it teach you brats about your culture...yes we have rats and bugs in Jamaica...and you have rats n bugs ib America too...those kids are not cute they are rude....
I thinks their are dangerous bugs in theres
I don't know why the fuss I have been to America and I seen rats and I didn't even bitch about its rats damn... and her husband was hella passive like why did you come because Jamaica is not in a resort its out there in the country where nature is where the birds chirp in the morning and the crickets sound at night .. If these were my kids they would have to suck it up. how you gonna come here to teach them something and you take them back to a resort because of a damn rat
Your totally right tashana
I just hate it when people do these things. Some people will always try to make a big issue out of simple things. You are from humble beginnings what did you expect?, Ritz Carlton?...All that money you spent at Half Moon could buy another bed, get rid off of the rodents and add a few things to the room to make it more comfortable. But I guess your intention was to make a story but you chose to highlight something so insignificant. I saw this video so many times and only decide to watch it because I thought there was some accident, someone died or got ill. Guess what?.. Nothing bad happened!
Why would you plan a family vacation and bunk at your uncle ‘s house? You are using USD in Jamaica. First of why didn’t you teach your kids about the island you come from before taking them there. Stop trying to be American, they are you are not. If you told them about your country instead of encouraging your daughter to be ‘bratty ‘ you and your uncle would’ve had a great time together with your kids for free with a t-shirt or two thrown in. My daughter just went to a friend’s house in Brooklyn and she had the same experience. She is from the Caribbean but we don’t have those critters inside of our house, she just laughed it off as I told her, welcome to New York. She is staying for free and happy that she doesn’t have to spend her money on accommodations instead of shopping. My sister used to bring her kids on vacation to the islands and she was happy to explain stuff to them that they were seeing for the first time. They would put their swimsuits on and bathe in a barrel of water, the put boots on and she would get a line and hook add it to a bamboo pole and go fishing in the river. We did not even have to accompany her. Wake up teach your children about your culture, if you pretend to be ashamed of where you come from you are do a disservice to your children and your country.
Well said
Exactly
T Melhado you can. I did. Just got back from Jamaica with my family it’s pretty easy like teaching them to read a book it begins with keeping those same cultures alive & relevant in the Home.
T Melhado The woman grew up in Jamaica, even named her elementary school. That accent is what we trini call fresh water yankee.
This was just pure exploitation of her uncle and disrespect. For the most part children often love getting away to Islands and beach rivers spring etc. They often enjoy the freedom and close encounters with animals.
The parental skills are next to non, can't blame the kids. Shameless woman/ mother.
Boy this makes me feel blessed that I marry my Jamaican king lol....Girl it's time to teach your kids about your "humble" beginnings...wow...
teach your kids their culture
agree!!!
Thats not their culture!
I'm so damn embarrassed for you you should be ashamed of yourself for not teaching your children about your home Jamaica and I'm not even from there and letting your children act like that towards something that should be special to you your home land they were very disrespectful and I know it hurt your uncle pretty bad
Why is the mother acting like she doesn't know about life in Jamaica? On another video she asks her uncle about walking in Falmouth and if it's safe to walk about, when you can clearly see other tourists walking about and looking ok.
Children will only react out of order if parents show their anxieties. It was shameful that you posted the incident with the so called rat in your uncles house. Shameful to post it just for views. Next time take your kids to Disneyland. Your kids not being use to island life is another statement that really got to me. How much of your culture do you teach your kids about? You only live 3 hours away and it's the first time you've taken them?
Lulu Dyer I was thinking the same thing
Lulu Dyer Montego Bay ❤❤
💯💯💯
If it was my children they would have to sleep at my uncle house that night.... they would have to cry until they fall asleep.....
Jahniya Watson thank you. These vloggers have to show some common sense and know when not to embarrass their family members.
Some people conveniently forget their roots. If I am going home I know not to expect hot and cold running water. The roaches in the same place where I left them all those years ago. The tropics didn't change because I left for a few years. If I behave like its a crisis my child will behave in the same manner.
Are we a little ashamed of our home?
Thank you thank you for that comment
She's a good woman w/ a big heart and big dreams for her and her family as a whole. So sad i think she deserves better. Husband is joyless and nonattentive her kids are selfish af smh God knows all our hurts and you things will get better pray🗽
I'm ashamed that you're not even ashamed. Smh!
My kids would kill me if I stayed in a hotel when we go to Jamaica, as day light dem and dem bag a cousin dem run up and down in a bush. All that fancy hotel crap stay in the states, when it was time to leave everybody a bawl. Straight a country the whole time.
toppmax As I mentioned in my previous post my sister whose kids from a younger age used to come to 🇹🇹 and enjoyed time with family now they don’t need their mother to bring them here, they make plans with their cousins. This woman is concentrating on her camera, spoiling the kids with foolish talk and the husband seemed oblivious to his surroundings. It would have been wonderful for them to run around in uncle Jerry’s yard , picking and eating fresh fruits of the trees (free vitamin C ) than taking them to do beach activities they could do in the summer in many states in their own country. Doritos and Lays for birthday, exited over things they have in their pantry.
Poor uncle Jerry, West Indian people go out of their way when they expect foreign visitors even telling their neighbors they expect folks from the USA and then she treated his accommodations like crap. Bet he was happy that she left for a hotel. Choose some cheap places that she had to move from twice, il-afford,unplanned vacation. Ocho-Rios is where US folks go for vacation in Jamaica, even 🇹🇹 go there if safety was her concern. I think there is a Sandals hotel there.
toppmax every one situation is different
Country nice
My son was the same way, him love do dog, di pig. Him couldn't wait to day light out
You notice that she has no jamaican accent. She has probably broken ties with most of her fam. She did try to stay with the uncle but Her kids are NOT ACCUSTOMED TO THIS LIFE STYLE WHICH IS NORMAL TO STAY IN THE HOTEL IF THEY CAN'T STAY WITH RELATIVE'S. She knew before she did it her kids wouldn't want to stay there. She could have edited this part out embarrassing her uncle like that
When uncle Jerry dun tell everybody how yuh boasy an lef him yaad in di miggle night smh
me deer mah!!! Nuh mine him a tall yah, she throw stone an frighten wid him merican life '. Not quite a 'tapanariss'
She too show off my kids went there at the same age before we go there I told them whats it's like and what to expect they were afraid of the creepy crawlers but other wise happy to spend time with their families.
The least you can do,just pass a word of appreciation to your uncle, kudos to him,great man👍
Does the husband talk?
I can't believe you left your family's home to go to a hotel......they must of felt offended..... seems like your daughter rules you. If I was your uncle you would have to make your own way around... Are you sure your Jamaican

It is very difficult to take Pubescent children or a child to an Environment at night where a rodent can be seen running around. As an Adult visiting an uncle in NY, I came across flying cockroaches. I never went back after that night until he moved home. My children started visiting Jamaica from the age of 3 years old to experience living in the countryside and wondering the fields with cousins and friends during the days.This eased them into rural life bothering the pigs chasing the chickens with a promised of hotel life and water sport before leaving the Island. They are now able to appreciate a variety of Environments. Fear is real and can stunt ones Emotional and Psychological outlook on life.
@@georgiamorrison1140 That is so true that's why I'm scared of animals😣
I guess our kids will not vacation in NYC either. There are a lot of rats there also. You probably should have planned to vacation a family that have kids the same age with your kids.
M &Ms The most rats are in New York City
M &Ms hahahahaha so true I been there and they were running all over the house
There are mice in any country, n.y. Miami, Canada have mice inna house also
💝🌹💜🌷In a way Never be ashamed of where you come from nor the people of struggle you were fortunate to surpass, love and understanding should remain the common ground- hopefully it has soften your heart, made you stronger, knowledgeable and more appreciative for the better things of life💜🌹💝🌷
Young and the restless
Some ah unnuh gwine vex wid mi fi dis comment... but me nah kair. the lee gyal meh very rude!
My children really enjoy when I take them to our ancestral home, we are all born Americans however, I was raised in the Caribbean from birth and consider it my 1st home as do my kids, they never want to leave their relatives, they love climbing the plum trees and waking up picking mangoes tru the bedroom window, and walking on the veranda picking fruits from many different fruit trees, we love going to our farm and washing up tru the kitchen window. Although we are on vacation they attend school with their cousins. my kids are comfortable respectful and free when we go home. They dread leaving.
Btw. mckall deh all bout di place...not a problem!!! LMBO! I'd never treat my family like that. I LOVE MY CULTURE BADDD.
That was very rude if I was your uncle I will never talk to you again rude children
Shenile White it was rude
Very rude indeed.
What is worse, the same uncle was driving them up and down.....very rude...I kept saying to myself, imagine the man welcomed you into his home and u vlog about the man's private space for the world to see. Show some respect man..dam it
singermone Right, putting the uncle's house on BLAST. 🗣"Hey, we have RATS over here, Lol."
Stew Beef 😂😂😂
-_- this video idk is this the kids first time in Jamaica? Idk idk. Not feeling it. Hopefully other videos are better. But spoiled kids. They will appreciate that they are Jamaican some day. But I’m not hiding my culture from my kids. They betta know bout bullfrog and dandy shandy.Jamaicans are the best. No need to be a shamed hun. Especially Montego Bay. No resort life roun here. We stayin at uncles like or not. Any beautiful kids.
Hopefully you enjoyed yourselves wish I could have finished watching too much whining. I love Jamaica I'm sure the behavior hurt someone's feelings my family would have said suck it up
Them kids are to spoiled, they cry for anything and everything SMH they need a reality check
Dakena4130 Their mama is miss wanna be
Little boy is sweet like his dad. Little girl is annoying just like her mother 🤭
Dakena4130 yessss
She shouldn't get no hotel
The mother is annoying talk bout people who act like them no know where they come from kmt. Bugs is everywhere ok. No wonder thr kids are like that
It's sad to see that you are missing the opportunities to teach your children valuable life lessons that will build their character and help them to succeed in life when you and your husband are long gone. But fortunately, it isn't too late to turn things around, because they are still very young. The little prince and princess that you are catering to right now will soon become royal pains in your life. I would have stayed at your uncle's house to teach the them gratitude, humility, and endurance. You missed the opportunity to model gratitude for having an uncle who loves you enough to welcome all of you into his home. Your children should have been taught that your uncle was giving them the very best that he had and they should be grateful. You should have shown them what gratitude looks like in that circumstance. What lesson did they walk away with out of this experience? You've just reinforced that life revolves around them and that they will get their way in life by whining, if they are slightly uncomfortable.
Lady chill kmt not going to watch anymore of this. Humble yourself woman
I remember when my daughter was seven I took her to Jamaica , she loved it so much ,she swam in the river ? Walked all over . We had a blast
Who are the parents? Make a pallet on the floor and call it a day. The little girl reminds me of the ungrateful girl actress who played the biracial daugter in the old movie. "Imitation of Life."
Very spoil and RUDE children, particularly the daughter. Not their fault non-the-less, the mother is simply IMPRESS with the fact that they are biracial, in her mind they are TROPHIES not children. She is just happy to show them off ie. showcase them. Lots of black women in inter-racial marriages have this complex i.e. self-hate. I have interracial couples in my family, some are from that perspective, while others are just real pure connection. On the island, My cousin caucasian husband from Germany use to chill in the yard barefoot, their children respected their authority and trusted their comforting words. When he says it's going to be ok, it changes everything ...a hug, a hi-five and they are ready to face whatever they find unusual, only to end up LOVING the experience.While the "rat" situation was cause for concern, it could have been dealt with differently. My children are Americans and they adjust to any situation. We have always lived in upscale suburban areas. I took them to RURAL Jamaica when they were all under age 9, it was culture shock, but none of them complained, they adjusted, spent a year....and now its their fondest memories. They can't stop talking about picking Guava, going to the river to swim and catch shrimp (janga), going to the beach, making lifelong friends (friendships are more cemented and REAL on the island) Now when they visit as adults after so many years people still remember them from that one year and embrace them, though it took almost forever inbetween visits.
Terrific video! I'm going to Jamaica for the first time on March 29, 2018 flying into Montego Bay and going up to the country about 2.5 hours away from Montego Bay and I'm so looking forward to the authentic food, the beauty of the island, the people, the music, the culture! What I'm NOT looking forward to is the heat despite living in super humid and hot Florida, but here EVERY building has CENTRAL A/C. It'll be fun I'm sure. Your children are ADORABLE !!
Aww, I wonder how her uncle feels. He still comes to pick them up to drive them to hotels. You have good family.
I can't wait to take my 15 year old son and my 13 years old daughter to Jamaica for the first time Christmas I'm sure we will enjoy the time my kids can't wait to go they ask me all the time to bring them
Sweet kids! My nieces were the exact same way last summer with the bugs... Lol my son was a trooper though he loved the country life.
Hi Stacey Ann, hopefully when the kids are older they will be able to enjoy Jamaica more! I know you tell them about Jamaica a lot, that's why your baby girl wanted to go there, but it can be a culture shock for kids when they have to experience something vastly different from what they are used to! As they visit more often, they will get used to it! I was laughing so hard the whole video! Thanks for sharing your experience love, it can be stressful traveling with young kids!
This video upsets me so much..your very ungreatful towards your uncle for his hospitality, I would have never spoken back to u after you posted this video sigh
Hi im new to your channel. Im from a small island away from puerto rico and i know the feeling when my mom moved us there when i was 6. It was scary, screams for all the weird bugs i hated it. We didnt live comfy in chicago but island life is very different for kids. Once they travel a few times they will enjoy the raw parts
paraiso cielo thanks so much for stopping by. I totally understand where you're coming from. We moved to the US when I was young and it was a huge shock. I wanted my kids to experience the culture. It was a rough start as you can see. My husband and I plan to take them more frequently.
WeatherAnchorMama Good. But next time ensure they and yourself acknowledge the differences and deal with it.
WeatherAnchorMama Bratty Kids!
I would give up what I have here in America to live In jamaica fetch my water from the tank to bathe and flush the toilet bugs really don't bother just have to put a net around new born baby's but I would definitely live there the people are so nice people to stuck on material things soon I hope I can trade all my material things In an move to jamaica and be truly free I'm so done with this life 1 way ticket all I need
allenguitar123 m
Naomi Osbourne . Yes.m.
allenguitar123 we all need to live our life nice with each other because the kids r looking up to us to keep them safe n protected
Naomi Osbourne
You say that Jamaicans are not materialistic??? I come from Jamaica and I find it the complete opposite.
People killing each other over their poss
essions, I believe is quite common in JA!
My son and I left Jamaica when he was 8 yrs old. He is now 20 yrs old and even though he is in college it’s one trip he looks forward to it every year. We stay at hotels and with relatives. I think the more they go, the better they will behave. Half Moon is a beautiful hotel but with their history I will never spend my money there
It is sad you forget out Jamaican way of life when raising those children.
Jovan Reid when I go back home my ass is the same Ashley was liking on the street without shoes and everything such mi nun know as to why she nuh teach dem
Ashley McGee frighten shi frighten. I am certain she thinks something was wrong with how she was raised there and as a result, her kids will never be exposed to our culture.
i cannot watch this carp!!!
Teach the uths dem right inna d way they should grow.. GAGAMEL done seh dat...
She has the cutest smile adorable An cuteness overload 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🎟🙋🏽♀️
I love your video. Also you have a beautiful family.
Where did you all took that photo, which restaurant is that?
it's good that your letting your kids get to know their roots
Lovely family! Your kids don’t whine anymore than other children. Looks like you all had fun and enjoyed each other and that is great. Our Lord bless you all.
You can see that that little girl wasn't raised well, she is spoil and don't know when to stop. Uncle Jerry house is not as bad as she makes it seems, I am sure she wouldn't die by morning to come. They need to straighten her cause her attitude is rotten. I would feel offended if I was the uncle..
Love this channel
Uncle and husband are absolutely amazing people,...... Mother and children!!!!!! If I met them in my dreams I would need councilling fit for the rest of my life!
Thanks so much!
I didn’t think there was anything wrong with the girls reaction to that experience. I’m 30 and live in California and when I go visit my family in Jamaica (country), it’s definitely not what I’m accustomed to and could be very uncomfortable. The only difference is that I’m old enough to appreciate the experience and the girl is not. However- moms after thoughts on the situation rub me the wrong way. Like many have said, it should be used as an opportunity to teach the children. Don’t act like you’re surprised that things were the way that they were.
Really you went to the hotel the same night ...... smh
Lol😄😄😄Thanks for Sharing!
Husband seem so chilled
that looks like Braco. I love that place. Its one of the best all-inclusive in my opinion.
Nice children more blessings
That lady is one of those careless Ethiopian bushman sang about
Been to Jamaica a few times... Love it and my Ppl there!!
it's obvious that the kids are not used to that kind of lifestyle so they were fussy. they are kids for GOD sake.four people in a bed is not what they are used to and maybe if they were other kids it probably would be different.
Charmaine Stewart She said they had stayed there before so she knew the sleeping arrangements. She should have communicated that with her family and never posted it.
Charmaine Stewart every child enjoys sleeping with their parents at that age.
Listen that's there uncles house if he did not buy multiple beds that could have slept different
My kids are also mixed race, one parent from Jamaica and we make the effort to have them stay where their grandmother lives. Most the time their is no running water, lizards and forty leg but our kids have the best time they kick of their shoes and enjoy being with their cousins. This was truly an opportunity for you to teach your kids what life is like back home, it's disappointing to see you give up.
Frighten friday! Good gosh
yayyy! another video, seems like I've been waiting for another video forever...missed you guys. I really think it would be a good idea to take the children as often as possible to Jamaica so they can adjust and begin to see the real beauty of the island and the culture. Considering it was a surprise trip....that might have contributed to the issues at the beginning. Maybe if you had spoken to them a bit about what to expect, especially what things would be different from things they are used to in the USA it might have helped. (hopefully it would have helped them adjust and not discourage them)....
These people are just showing off. I hate to watch this teach your children to be appreciative no one knows tomorrow.
What's the name of the hotel and what part of Jamaica are you in? Looks lovely family
So you think bugs an rats are not at the hotels plus who last sleep in the bed before you and what they did in it. LOL Sorry it's only good if it's your home not shearing walls.
gervan myers Why would anyone risk their health to stay somewhere with rats? Rats contaminate food and plates etc. Roaches as well. No one wants to stay with roaches.
june wiles In Jamaica? Well In not from there so I cant say.
june wiles I have never seen a rat in the Marriot, Hotel 6 etc. Well if there are they are out of site out of mind. But seeing a rat face to face is just creepy.
gervan myers they are everywhere indeed but mom made the change to create a sense of ease for the kids. Simply telling the kids that bugs and rats are everywhere would not have solved the issue.
Hotel is the place that carries the most bed bugs a dat she fi know. Annoying much!!
I can relate...your daughter is spoiled.
Wow my moms and grams took me to jamaica when i was 10 and you better believe it opened my eyes a lot outside showers, lizards, going toilet outside (i know yall know stepping into the dark shed to go pee) BUT experiencing how my moms and gramz grew up was an amazing experience and made me appreciate things even more...if i ever stayed in a hotel in JA i think my fam would disown me ....i dont think your kids took anything away from this experience
OMG I LIVE IN JAMAICA AND I AM ALSO FROM JAMAICA
Awww...somebody’s tired? Nice video...
I’m a new subbie! It was good to see a Jamerican and her family experience Jamaica! I can understand the kids freaking out over the rat and other bugs and such they weren’t used to seeing. Let’s be honest, though! My mum is from Jamaica and she says roaches are normal if a place isn’t clean. Every time she went to Jamaica roaches welcomed her in the kitchen at Auntie’s Place. You just never get used to those critters! Ewwww! She just cleaned up and then no big deal. Being a Jamerican myself I spent summers in Jamaica as a kid and enjoyed myself. When my grand aunt ‘s backyard flooded and the water came up to the back steps I imagined it was a giant swimming pool. I loved Jamaica then and still do now. It can be hot, tho! But the longer you stay the more your body gets used to it! This makes me want to post our Jamaica experience on my vlog!! Nice vlog! You are so patient with your kids. Maybe in the states expose them to camping and hiking and other outdoorsy adventures so they won’t be so afraid when they travel!
Next time you should book in a kids friendly Hotel and take tome out to visit family....mybe you didn't do your homework and you annoyed tht hell out of me....maybe uou need to travel outside of the USA more often and teach them dam kids manners...STOP ur BLACK Girl.
Well said Paul haye.
Was at that hotel 2 weeks ago, had a ball, Holiday Inn, nothing but niceness..
Holiday Inn is great.
Another thing, from one professional to another, I do understand the importance of stage presence i.e. speaking and acting impeccably so that your audience will receive the information you are imparting. However, you were on vacation and not at work. You could've thrown in a few colloquial words. You would have been received differently. Seen...nuff chat, bun fya!
You should have waited until your kids were a little older and would appreciate the trip more and most people usually book their hotel before you leave home. You have two kids that are use to living a certain way so you have to accommodate that so you knew living with a relative was not the anwser . This is not a time to be cheap or save money. You both work Iam sure and you and your husband could have put 50.00 each month in a kitty for 10mos and used a visa card 1000.00 go to trip adviser and got a package deal for family of 4 that included the hotel and you would have money to spend one us dollar is like 125 jmds🤔
Rita Robinson 1 us is $115 jmd
Denise Mcintosh thank you!!! I stand corrected
Rita Robinson she's loving her dream a white husband and kids and the pride shows
she bought her children at the right ages. The hotel money could have gone to Uncle and he could have saved it and suggest to her to help start and build another room to put her posh self in it. I was born aboard and spent 3 sweet and wonderful weeks in the country and my cousins still talk about how i never complained about the bugs, mosquitoes, fat rats, very hot sun, getting my food cooked from a coal fire and taking pictures of ackee, coconut, coffee plant and enjoying every moment. I was even Blessed to see how you get rum from sugar cane was made and drank cane juice. Her children would have enjoyed their vacation well if she was not so negative about the land where she was born.
The whining...got to go.
Claire Nabulime, What is a black American supposed to sound like? Just to let you know, black Americans sound different based on a number of things i.e., what their parent's first language may have been, where they were educated & the regional dialect where they grew up. Regarding regional dialects, Black Americans from the NY, North Jersey area sound different than black Americans from the Philadelphia, South Jersey area who sound different than black Americans from Delaware, Virginia, the Carolinas, Georgia, Florida etc., not to mention the Creole regional dialects in Louisiana. Black Americans in the mid western part of the US have their own dialect as well as the south west & California. I am fascinated with accents & dialects. I welcome & appreciate them all. The lady you are bashing, I believe is a public figure. Most public figures, especially if they speak in the media, have acculturated manner of speaking. They are also trained to speak a certain way to assimilate information to the masses. I believe that anyone has the right to acculturate their speech pattern if they so choose. I hope this helps you to understand that all black Americans don't sound the same & they don't have to.
I really want to visit Jamaica. I was going to Montego Bay for the Easter weekend this year and the group cancelled. Feeling sad.
Brenda Bentham get over ur self.
Hope you all enjoyed your vacation🏝
I love the baby girl
Claire Nabuline, the lady you were bashing about her speech pattern is African Caribbean not black American/African American. She was raised in Jamaica therefore that is her original cultural background or roots as you refer to it.
Went to a hotel in New York and had to leave pronto! There were cockroaches running across the pillows. Had the same experience when we went to Disney! Insects and rodents........they just happen to be all over the planet.
Ur kids r so cute
Too spoil for me, you and your kids; and your husbands acts like he’s too damn proud, the facial expression on his face when you asked him a question in your uncle’s house, try this again and show your spoil kids where you really came from and how you really lived, it was a joy for me to go to my great grandparents tobacco Smokey house when I was a kid and that memory is instilled in my heart, they both died when I was seven and every time I smell that sweet smelling tobacco the memories of them comes back to me and I thank God how joyous it was to even get to meet them and some of my great aunts and uncle before they died.
"I'm going to head over to my old house...don't know what I'm gonna see but hopefully good things." 🙈🙊
Hey people, constructive criticism goes a lot further than pejoratives and just being mean without any suggestions.I read some pretty repugnant comment, tbh. Children have different personalities, and at that age, they often don't handle change well, especially travel if they were not raised traveling extensively. Hopefully, after they get home in a setting where the children can focus on what mom or dad is saying, they can talk to the kids about what happened and how they should handle it in the future. They were not abusing the kids and parenting styles vary. It is hard to tell from one video, where the kids are out of their environment, if they are "spoiled," or "whiny."
I have been to Jamaica often and even injured my back pretty darn bad on a zipline in Ocho Rios in a freak accident. However, that didn't stop from from continuing to visit. I would suggest Jamaica’s North Coast, Sandy Bay (Fly into Montego Bay's FBO)& The Tryall Club which has golfing, sailing, etc. and a kids club or even nannies if you need that service.
GoldenEye is really beautiful and opulent, but pricey... but the kids would love it. Some of the James Bond movies were filmed there. It is about 20 or so minutes from Ocho Rios in Oracabessa, St Mary. www.goldeneye.com/
The Geejam Hotel is another very nice place. It is in the Northeast coast at the Blue Mountain (Yes, Like Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee which is so yummy) foothills and includes Frenchman’s Cove beach which is considered one of the top beaches in the world! Here is a link instead of going on about it. LOL www.geejamhotel.com/
Anyway, I hope people leave more constructive comments. It is hard when people judge you on sections of an edited video.
Peace!
My first time in Jamaica...I was a tourist in Montego Bay. My second time, I was with my husband visiting his family in Morant Bay. Very different experiences.
🌿 So funny how kids with black/white parents sometimes come out looking Asian or Hispanic, lol. I'm black and my daughter's father is Swedish - she looks like the two of us 'combined ', lol...Always so adorable
Big up my country ever time
this reminds me of my girls going to trinidad for the 1st time..DRAMA
I’m hoping to visit my cousin in Costa Rica me and dad are planning on going now my cousin lives on a coffee plantation in rural area and we are planning on staying with him and his family so there are snakes there but i will appreciate it cause it’s my cousin and I don’t whine I’m 35 I do enjoy finer things but I also appreciate the little things and he is going to take us to waterfalls, volcanoes etc. and it saves money
If I have kids here in America or any other foreign country. I will definitely making sure he/ she help grandma and grandpa tied the cows and goats out set the rat trap and spray the bugs. Just making sure I spread my roots of how I grew up. And the plus speak fluent patios too.
My daughter went to Jamaica at 17 months and she loved every minute of it. I'm taking my son who's 2 sometime soon. I born and grew up in Jamaica and people like this are ashame hence why the out of culture marriage. Each to their own but at the same time don't shit where you sleep as mi granny would say lol
Ur like us always having fun !
Your experience was not a reflection of life in Jamaica. Based on our personality types, we all react or cope with changes, new or exotic surroundings differently. Some people, including children, relish diversions, cultural diversities, and new experiences.
They often visit Jamaica and wish that their visits would never end. These are the outer-directed achievers, Inner-directed Experientials, and integrated Adults.
Regardless of where they visit or who they visit, others dread changes, the unfamiliar; and can't wait to be back in familiar surroundings.
