When I travel to the NYC, I stay with my grand dad who is retired and always ask me to delay my return trip (I now live in Europe). Anyways, I contribute weekly to groceries, even though I'm hardly there, as I visit other family and friends or go shopping etc.... Notwithstanding this, Jamaicans who live in the USA have set a bad precedence in the past, by trying to prove to others that life was perfect in the States. Now with the Advent of social media, everything has come full circle. This is why I travel to other international destinations nowadays. Jamaicans should learn to communicate better with each other. I cannot read your mind. If someone is visiting, tell them your expectations.
People just don't get it...When people come up here, they have in their mind that foreign people have it... Some people are very inconsiderate with no thought to what the person who is hosting goes through and have to endure...They just feel like they should get, get and get and nobody can talk to them.
I agree bcuz married to a Jacan and him no work for 1 year I paid all the bills help him he get two job and everyday drop him to work and pick him up and all he does was save his money and for one year I had to feed him and he no want pay no bill no water no electric so give him the water bill to pay he no stop argue plus papers on top of it so him want live free and come people yard as him like and him thief like what thief me jewelry and clothes out of to give to other women, sister and him son mother in JA so him move out and want come back say not at all damn user...heartless and still breaking into my place want run me out to come live for free psycho narcissist all nearly kill me because I should take abuse....
All you guys have to do is tell them no when they ask to come visit for so long. Why would you accept someone in your space for so long and then complain about it. Sounds dumb and disrespectful. Plus unno know them did lazy from unno use to live with them a Jamaica. Glad me love my yard so nobody can tek step a me.
The thing is they often don't tell you they will stay that long. People must be reasonable. They may tell I'm coming to spend a litte one week with you next thong you know it goes into a month n more. Cece is very right.
When dem deh a farrin a so them gwaan man feel dem above ppl if u go accept someone a u yaad why u complain if dem eat food remember nuff ppl nuh have it fi bring wull heep a money go farrin and if u complain seh them fi go work try help dem find one and if dem come a u yaad and stay so long a u neva set the expectation but u go show bad face that just fck up
True Jamaicans take note, don't go abroad to spend time with friends and family to be described in this way. Stay home and stick with your kind. We are use to sharing one mango for ten a we and no body don't talk about it. We are use to run to the bush, pick breadfruit and ackee and prepare a meal of roast breadfruit and ackee and saltfish and everybody, including friends and neighbours get a meal, and nobody no talk about it, because we all are one. We are use to ten a we lay across one bed for almost a year and nobody no talk about it. We are use to dishing food for family and making them feel welcome, even if a coronation market we go to sell and bun up inna sun whole day to provide it; we come home, cook, dish the food, wash the plates and clean up our kitchen after a hard day and don't complain, cause we know how to treat our guests. We are use to preparing for the visits of family members coming home from abroad: food galore; roast breadfruit with ackee and saltfish, soft yam with run dung, u name it, long table full a food. We don't ask how long u staying, as we often wish you could stay a long time so we can treat you 'Jamaican style'. We feel embarrassed if you try to wash the plates after you use it, as we feel it is our responsibility to make you feel welcomed and treat you right; as a matter of fact we share the food give unno so unno don't take too little because you might feel that anybody might say unno greedy, and we still ask unno if unno want more cause we a real Jamaican and we love to fatten unno when unno visit. Real Jamaicans a proud people. We nuh likky likky and beggy beggy! We have fe we own. We know to take care of our own and we don't call out our people on social media. We face tough times together, share with each other and lift each other. My apologies for "your family" who go to visit you and behave this way, it is unfortunate that you have to embarrass them on social media like this. Just tell them you cannot accommodate them next time, but please don't try to put down our people, cause we are proud hard working people and most of us are up before five in the mornings, work, study, care for our family, keep our home clean, etc and we don't leave dirty dishes in our sink inspite of our demanding jobs and life.
Great, I love your response. I've been to NY, Fla and SC and stay with my family and they just want to do things for me. Never a day and I'm not taken out. We are together to continue our family bond. If a family live like puss and dog when in Ja, it's not going to change where ever they go.
I've also have friends and family visit me in Jamaica , one of my girlfriend cannot stop talking about the Royal treatment I gave her, Jamaican breakfast for the week she spent with me , the locations of interest, the beach trips all at my cost, as a matter of fact I took vacation leave, however she felt embarrassed because she did not take anything for me , the truth is I never expected anything (if she never said I would not have known) I've entertained several friends, therfore if I should go to their place I'm expecting a good reception and to be entertained. I've never traveled without my money so I'm always able to if the need should arise bur my friends never allow me to, unless I go shopping on my own which I do.
Sandra Mattis Yes it is clear that she and her family and friends live selfishly. I am embarrassed for them and also for her because her video just highlight the point that some leave their values behind when they go abroad. I could never have someone come to visit me and have to dish their own food or ask me for food for that matter. Work can be challenging and stressful wherever you are, but one should never use your work conditions as an excuse for behaving poorly with ones family and friends. If this is how she feels she should sit and talk with her family, social media is definitely not the place to discuss them. I hope she will be thought the lesson that when money fail, possessions fail and employment fail you will always have someone (most of the times a friend or family) to stand by you and help you. I thank God for great family and friends both in Jamaica and abroad, as a matter a fact my friends are more than just friends, they are sisters and brothers.
Angella Nelson so true that is how we live. When foreigners come to Jamaica they are on vacation and we don't expect them to do anything. We want them to be comfortable and when they going away and we pack them up with ackee and breadfruit we don't ask them to pay for it.
I disagree with a lot of this. First thing first, don't waste time a foreign, make some money buy a house, if family come to visit they can stay as long as they want, my family blood thick like molasses. People from Asia, especially India, 15 of them live in one house for two or three years, before you know it them buy the block.
So wait ,a so you want we fi live..15 in a one house? ..you enjoy living like that?.first thing me never did live so a yard ,and me no asian..date why dem house full a rat,dem AFI Nyam dem fi dinner ..how you share bathroom wid 15 people?dat mean some people naw bathe...the woman chat the truth..if you and fi you family can live so go ahead..me buy me house fi enjoy it cause me wuk hard fah,,people just need fi understand all these things the woman point out..kmbct
@@kadeneforde7875 hello Mr idiot me agree with this guy your mindset is fucked up you should not be outside jamaica 15 in one house the guy is talking about helping each other until they make it and help each other, if someone come on visa you help them out and make they know say foreign is full of opertunity etc kadene your mindset is a more badmine mindset and that no work outside jamaica, me ago wright a different reply about my self cause me no want to make this one too long

If they stay as how this guy talking about 15 in one house and before you know they bye the block I would be more wealthy cause I have someone to help me as a clean heart gangsta youth like me and kadene me just guessing that you are probably living on paycheck after paycheck worthless Jamaican but me we offer you some food by using "uber eats" to buy and deliver it to you am gonna pay for it, change your fuck up mindset.....

Only some fuck up place in jamaica you can live wear people aways look over things
Cee cee you are so right. They really need to do better for themselves. Some of them swear dem nah live a dutty foreign but dem a di same one calling you for money every week talking about nutten nah gwaan. Go look wuk
When I visit the state and see how some Jamaicans living am so sorry for them. Why would I want to leave my Island where I can live with less stress to live in a system that kills the people mentally just by taxing them. I choose life over material things. If you don't have health care you die because you can't afford doctors treatment . Even white people I saw homeless in the cold dress in tons of clothing dirty as hell crunching behind shopping cart behind building that's bed for the night. Jah know it sad... I do a week or a weekends each time in my Hotel then back to my home... those place is for short visit only. people too stressed in that specific Country
YEAH STAY IN YOUR COUNTRY WHERE PEOPLE ARE NOT STRESS, NOT POOR, NOT HOMELESS, NOT HUNGRY, NOT DESPIRATE, NOT KILLING, NOT PLOTING TO ROB, YOUNG GIRLS ARE NOT BEING MURDERED, RETURNING JAMICANS ARE NOT BEING KILLED, AND THE LIST GOES ON. NO PLACE IN THE WORLD IS 100%, SO DONT DOWN ONE COUNTRY LIKE YOUR ISLAND DOES NOT HAVE A TON OF F UP ISSUES.
Bway this sound bad. I got my visa twenty-four years ago. I only travelled on it four times. I was excited the first time, therefore I spend one month. After that two weeks the other two times. The last time I went to America was the fourth time. I spend one week and four days and that was 2015. When I hear this I feel so scared to visit people house and eat anything. I spend my vacation at a hotel in Jamaica. I called it staycation, I feel much better because when yu gu foreign nobody has time for you because they have to go to work. My relatives in America are never tired of me. They are there for forty years and out of the forty years I only visited them four times and I don't beg them anything. When they come to Jamaica I don't expect anything from them.
girl you forget about the ones that come and get bad minded after you put them up. and call themselves friends. Nadine Perry, big home wrecker. years later and i still wondering how she live whit herself ? people be careful who you bring in your home. some time the pay back they give you can be devastating for life.
😂 😂😂😂😂😂 all I understood was laaaazy!!! And use things and not contribute. This is too funny. I love your ranting! Imma keep listening to see if I can make out anything else my sister.
My family stayed with me for 6 month and I enjoyed having my family i remember how hard my mother work to put food on the table when things was hard. My sister takes care of my mother back home and i will do the best i can for her.
My family in America own their houses, so no rent. They are not rich but can comfortably host me. I spend only 3 weeks each year. I don't visit the same house each visit. I am asked not to wash dishes caz the dishwasher is there for that. I thank God for the family n friendz I have. I love you guys!
Talk bout the ones them wey a struggle and when them visitors come and not begging them anything and can afford to shop comfortably and eat out every night and a contribute for being there for the time how them a badmind them guest.
That is why when mi go a ppl yard mi hold mi own. Mi nuh wait pon handouts. Mi always travel wid mi dutty money. Some ppl barefaced wid it. Some a dem nuh have no conscience or consideration for ppl things or kindheart.
Amen!! I learn my lesson when a so-called friend came up and sit down on me then when she got a job, she started to work her brain on me. Like what you said not in my cabinet again, Never!!
It is true when some Jamaican travel to AMERICA AND CANADA and don't help do anything. I had to work as soon as I arrived in Canada. I had to stand in cold in the winterss. Yes! Informed them on how it goes in foreign countries . All that you are saying is truth. Some of them if and when they work they don't want to contribute any money to the household. 😮❤
Have 2 yah weh mi about to give notice.. 2years now... time for them to go... heavy weight... I have to come home from work and washing dishes, cook and cleaning😏... while 2 grown ass body in the House... plus they make their contributions whenever they feel like... not consistent... Hotel is 70$ and up a day... and a room in someone house, depends on area is $500 and up...
I grew up the old school way. When you have visitors/guest, you always go out of your way to make them as comfortable as possible and that means you foot the bill in most instances. One to two weeks of paying all the expenses, for example groceries and entertainment is not bad. Most people don't mind. But after that, it's too much financially. Most people simply cannot afford to have visitors for an extended stay and support them financially. That is really what the issue is and the problem. The host cannot afford it. When you stay for more than two weeks, you have to be able to contribute financially or else you become a financial burden and a money drain. The host is putting out extra money or has to find the extra money, that they were not putting out before. So the extra person or persons eventually start becoming a financial burden the longer they stay. In begining they are not, but over time they become a burden.
TRUE TRUE THING. FEM COME WITH FREENESS MENTALITY. SOME STAY FI YEARS AND REFUSE TO CONTRIBUTE. NO CASH AND WOULDN'T EVEN TRY SAVE FACE WITH KIND. LIKE DOING THINGS THAT OBVIOUSLY NEED TO GET DONE. FREE LOADERS! YOU SHOULD DO A VIDEO ON THE FREE LOADERS. YOU GO GIRL!YOU R REAL. 1 LOVE!
The amount of times I have been to the U.S. even for six months I come to help in the house or if someone sells goods I go to sell with them. I have to U.S. twice in 27 years. Second time I went to take care my father who was said to be dying. I saved him from dying four extra months and you should hear that the what left I have not got but U$700 all the cds, dvds and such the like gone to those whom he never left it to it is amazing!
The one thing that always bugged me as a kid (and now still) was when we would go back home, was the entitled and ungrateful behavior of the adults. My parents never called them out on their disgusting behavior. The overweight suitcases was full of stuff for the people back home, and it was never enough for them. The countless times we were greeted not with a "hello, glad to see you, how was your flight" but "when are you leaving and what did you bring me". Which is always followed up with a disappointed "is that all you brought me?" All this on top of parents reimbursing them for the gas, food and whatever else it cost to house us three during the family trip. (Vacation is not even the right word for it) Let's not forget the all year round begging in either collect phone calls and monthly letters. smdh Yet when these same entitled relatives come up to visit us, they come with their two long arms. Back in the day, make long distance calls in the middle of the day, at the full rate without using basic manners to ask my parents' permission. A couple of them even extended stay and I'm pretty sure they didn't consult my parents first or kick in for the expense, like we do for them. Because of all that as a teen I promised myself if I ever go to visit, I'm staying in a hotel or resort. Rant over.
I'm glad you said it and not me because that's nothing but the truth they overstay there welcome they eat up your food run up your bills it can be a burden for true sister 🙏
Me have a cousin came to Canada to spend some time with me and when she go out and buy any thing to eat she hiding it from me it's just me and she is the home im the one who invited her here and she is hiding food from me. I said no more .they have a in Jamaica good have to suffer for the bad
A jus so mi African people tan!!!!! I'm so surprised. Africans will use family connection and expect you to feel shame to say anything. I wish they could ALL watch this. Big up yuhself, Empress. Medaase (thank you).
Yes mi girl talk up de thing. And some are so ungrateful. They want you to take them shopping everyday to bring back barrel with them to Jamaica and they don’t have no rass money.
You Jamaican don't know what it mean by vacation , have no respect when some come to visit you . If it was stranger you ppl would take care better you ppl don't know the meaning about family .
If I had family to visit me here in Canada, I would not have no problem staying with me for a long period, as long as they help out around the house and respect my house , Wouldn't have an issues. Listen mi know how it was wen mi first come ya and mi would neva put anyone through dat.
2 weeks would be my cap Chrissie. Both as a visitor and host. Me non love people yard and me like me own space still. So 2 weeks a me limit and dat even too long but me will work wid it.
I love the way you express you words. I am from England and I would not dream of expecting anybody to support me on a financial level. May be Jamaica’s think life owes them a living.
I'm sorry but I can't co-sign to that mean spirit talk. Some of us have forgotten our culture of caring for each other. Yes, here we get tired and depressed because we work very hard here, but don't we look forward to going to Ja. where our family give us everything. Mangoes, water coconut, pine , Jack fruit etc? Love you my Ja peeps.
Yes true thing you are talking crissy.who takes vacation for 6 mths.that why many of them lose thier visa because immigration not stupid.who vacation for 6 mths.and some of them shop and pack up go back home and don't even want to buy the very food they eat while they are here
Vicky Morgan that is so true, not even a snack for themselves they would buy, these people save.all their money and do their business, but yet come over here And take. Advantage of u just cause I might be a nice person, life is hard any where u take it here or there, they people think money fries on tree, and when u go to Jamaica they don't offer u nothing,
I would not feel comfortable just sitting around doing nothing, if u gone to work its only fair that i can cook and keep the place clean so u can be comfortable when u get home, until i get something to do..when i came to America living with my sister after a week i decide that i don't want to be home, i started searching penny savers and newspaper and the third week i started working..stayed in that job for two years them upgrade myself..i hate sitting down and not contributing one way or the other...so you are speaking facts my dear
When mi ready fo come home mi full two barrels buy one big screen TV and a washing machine and pay 70$ Month to mi host .when mi ready fo come home nobody caaan chat to me
A relative wanted to come for a month. A grown married woman wants to come I would have to feed her, shop for her, entertain her. Pay energy bill for her, buy extra bath soap. Then pay phone bill because she would have to call her husband and children back home. Maybe she would bring her daughter and I would have to feed the daughter and buy winter clothes. I work three jobs, one full hours and the other two part time.
I agree. Don't forget the ones who call themselves family, stay at u' re place and when them leave u' re stuff leave with them. Most often when u go to JA. people are there to greet u, because they're expecting to receive. when u' re ready to leave, u' re lucky to find one person to go with u to the airport.
I don't mind when family come around.i have a problem when they are lazy please clean up do something don't just sit around as if there is nothing around the house to do.
I went to Jamaica for vacation. I spend three months. But let me tell you this mi spending money before mi reach..during the time I'm there.. and after mi left..food clothes, light bill, water rate. Not complaining but lard some ppl don't have any conscience
My cousin come from Jamaica and didn't even wash the dishes and when I talk to her about it she get upset and when she was leaving she call DCF and tell them that I am abusing my son that was her revenge and that is one of the reason why I never look back to visit Jamaica because they are wicked people
YES! People come lay on your couch for months eat your groceries watch your tv,without a conscience and make you feel like a guest in your own home. I had one person do that to me and it made it bad for everybody after, no one stays at my house let alone visit.
You are so right they don't have no idea what you are going through you try your best to accommodate the and when they leave you are the worst thing on too foot I have been there with them NO BODY NA COME TO MI HOME ANYMORE
And some a you foreign ppl too wicked you tell them to come and as soon as the Bread fruit and ackee and stuff finished you dash the ppl them out or start show them bad face..kmt...Me na gu a ppl yard...my family come a Jamaica and me put them up as long as them want to stay and don't ask them to pay bills but for sure I told them to conserve.
Jamaicans some a you bad mine long time and don't want anyone else up there. Most of who is supporting her don't have any love long time. Chinese would not treat their family like that. Even if we work like hog you people don't want any body up there.
Disgraceful people are not scrounger when people come to visit they are treated like helpers and dogs your worst life in Jamaica is your best life in foreign please people stop visiting these ungrateful family and don't give them any weapon to kill you.
Please do a video about the Jamaicans wey live a foreign and a look helper from the same visitors like they think people come on vacation to come do domestic work. Talk bout how dem nasty and lazy and think they hired helper and buy plane ticket for their guests to come turn helper for them.
U see that’s the reason why u should either have ur money for hotel or have money to contribute for your length of stay... Because that’s the only reason one would ask for u to help out... if ur staying for free.. one hand washes the other🤷🏾♀️
Our heavenly Father we know that Satan has done a great job but your word exposed him so that we would never be deceived help us to have boldness when we come before thee because of what the blood of Jesus done for us by your grace help us to join the great worshipers like Job and Abraham we pray in Jesus name amen
Only the black people chat them things yah, not the Chinese or white man. When them done them seh white man enslave them. When them come to Jamaica treat them same way. Don't cook nuh food fi dem. And come off a yuh bed GI dem. Don't follow dem go nuh way. Mek them tek taxi.
She sound hypocritical...I do not like the bad light you are shedding on Jamaicans, a nuh your family help you get to where u are?..what if you had no family, a lot of people wish they had family to feed and treat like kings and queens
If I stay at family yard I go shopping for them carry dem bout in rental and bring up clothes and shoes and full dem pocket and rest of family and friends and go rum bar and buy drink fi people I don't know . So don't tar everyone wid dutty brush .
When I go to NYork I stay in a hotel because I have heard of relatives talking about their own who over stay their welcome and how stingy they are not wanting to spend money for even food or transport and its true. I have been to several places and stay at all inclusive because I think if you can afford the visa and ticket why can't you afford a hotel instead of putting extra pressure on relatives.
When I travel to the NYC, I stay with my grand dad who is retired and always ask me to delay my return trip (I now live in Europe). Anyways, I contribute weekly to groceries, even though I'm hardly there, as I visit other family and friends or go shopping etc.... Notwithstanding this, Jamaicans who live in the USA have set a bad precedence in the past, by trying to prove to others that life was perfect in the States. Now with the Advent of social media, everything has come full circle. This is why I travel to other international destinations nowadays. Jamaicans should learn to communicate better with each other. I cannot read your mind. If someone is visiting, tell them your expectations.

Angella Nelson so true that is how we live. When foreigners come to Jamaica they are on vacation and we don't expect them to do anything. We want them to be comfortable and when they going away and we pack them up with ackee and breadfruit we don't ask them to pay for it.
True Ting dat!
Love your commentary, this applies to many extended visitors from the Caribbean.
Tell them foreign is about BILLS!!!! Talk the truth.
People running to come here dont love here love my country because use to travel other countries
Its a hard life there bills, rent etc its not a bed of roses at all. My relative lived in Venezuela for 17 and came back with nothing
LOL!
I disagree with a lot of this. First thing first, don't waste time a foreign, make some money buy a house, if family come to visit they can stay as long as they want, my family blood thick like molasses. People from Asia, especially India, 15 of them live in one house for two or three years, before you know it them buy the block.
So wait ,a so you want we fi live..15 in a one house? ..you enjoy living like that?.first thing me never did live so a yard ,and me no asian..date why dem house full a rat,dem AFI Nyam dem fi dinner ..how you share bathroom wid 15 people?dat mean some people naw bathe...the woman chat the truth..if you and fi you family can live so go ahead..me buy me house fi enjoy it cause me wuk hard fah,,people just need fi understand all these things the woman point out..kmbct
@@kadeneforde7875 hello Mr idiot me agree with this guy your mindset is fucked up you should not be outside jamaica 15 in one house the guy is talking about helping each other until they make it and help each other, if someone come on visa you help them out and make they know say foreign is full of opertunity etc kadene your mindset is a more badmine mindset and that no work outside jamaica, me ago wright a different reply about my self cause me no want to make this one too long
@@kadeneforde7875 I came USA on a visa when I reach here I stay in family house they just never wanna see the best of me I sleep in sofa and they never find any job for me, so me to out and make friends with anyone possible until I saw a Indian guy hired me without documents first week in the USA after that my family have problem how am going out and coming in so i keep work until a white guy tell me about a site called Craigslist where I can find many people who would employed me cut long story short I work and open a bank account with only my name and out all money in go back jamaica 1day before the time TSA give me I buy a lot chocolate sweet clothes etc my fuck up family dem never by me a shirt so if me never work me go back a yaad broke. When I goto airport they question me and I tell TSA straight up I work base on status (work that don't need documents) me share up clothes and sweets to people a yaad some think me cah come back cause me tell den me work.... I come back june 2018 and never tell my family nothing and now am sure am more wealthy than dem all wah day me go their to look for dem to show dem me no badmine or judge or have a fuck up mindset like dem and me all called me bank to confirm my payment I make on the airbnb house I rent and the gyal hide and listen to when me bank called out me balance of over 160k usd and then surprise me with a question about 1hour later; how you get so much money and me no straight and me 19yrs and a claim a scamming or something illegal just because me wealthy like that. If they stay as how this guy talking about 15 in one house and before you know they bye the block I would be more wealthy cause I have someone to help me as a clean heart gangsta youth like me and kadene me just guessing that you are probably living on paycheck after paycheck worthless Jamaican but me we offer you some food by using "uber eats" to buy and deliver it to you am gonna pay for it, change your fuck up mindset..... Me hate to see or hear about people who have these type of mindset and also used it to treat someone fuck up, a that's me take the time to wright this reply
@@kadeneforde7875 a bet say you a some bruk foriengner or you over yah for years on top a years and no have a 1 million USD. Me know how the waste people dem medz . all enough should not be a foreign and if you was in jamaica probably you get murder already cause you mindset fuck up and morlikely you badmine too. Only some fuck up place in jamaica you can live wear people aways look over things
Real talk man
Cee cee you are so right. They really need to do better for themselves. Some of them swear dem nah live a dutty foreign but dem a di same one calling you for money every week talking about nutten nah gwaan. Go look wuk
When I visit the state and see how some Jamaicans living am so sorry for them. Why would I want to leave my Island where I can live with less stress to live in a system that kills the people mentally just by taxing them. I choose life over material things. If you don't have health care you die because you can't afford doctors treatment . Even white people I saw homeless in the cold dress in tons of clothing dirty as hell crunching behind shopping cart behind building that's bed for the night. Jah know it sad... I do a week or a weekends each time in my Hotel then back to my home... those place is for short visit only. people too stressed in that specific Country
Welcome to the United States of America!!!
Same here in Canada
YEAH STAY IN YOUR COUNTRY WHERE PEOPLE ARE NOT STRESS, NOT POOR, NOT HOMELESS, NOT HUNGRY, NOT DESPIRATE, NOT KILLING, NOT PLOTING TO ROB, YOUNG GIRLS ARE NOT BEING MURDERED, RETURNING JAMICANS ARE NOT BEING KILLED, AND THE LIST GOES ON. NO PLACE IN THE WORLD IS 100%, SO DONT DOWN ONE COUNTRY LIKE YOUR ISLAND DOES NOT HAVE A TON OF F UP ISSUES.
Bway this sound bad. I got my visa twenty-four years ago. I only travelled on it four times. I was excited the first time, therefore I spend one month. After that two weeks the other two times. The last time I went to America was the fourth time. I spend one week and four days and that was 2015. When I hear this I feel so scared to visit people house and eat anything. I spend my vacation at a hotel in Jamaica. I called it staycation, I feel much better because when yu gu foreign nobody has time for you because they have to go to work. My relatives in America are never tired of me. They are there for forty years and out of the forty years I only visited them four times and I don't beg them anything. When they come to Jamaica I don't expect anything from them.
consistently loyal 81 respect
consistently loyal 81 ....bless you !
Oh my! You made my day. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Plain an simple. I just realized this vid is 8 yrs old. Lol
girl you forget about the ones that come and get bad minded after you put them up. and call themselves friends. Nadine Perry, big home wrecker. years later and i still wondering how she live whit herself ? people be careful who you bring in your home. some time the pay back they give you can be devastating for life.
True dat!!!!!!
cool Girl B i could give a hug becareful who you take in.
cool Girl B True dat! Ungrateful Bastards!
Some people do anything fi dem papers... Hush
Two weeks shopping, give my sister something for her hospitality, back to where I coming from..
This is no joke a real talk my girl
Yo all the time she was talking I was just cracking up lol.
me too because i experiece more than one time
To the point sis true, , true, true. No one coming to my place to lay their lazy ass on my couch, as I go out in the cold to work. It’s not happening.
😂 😂😂😂😂😂 all I understood was laaaazy!!! And use things and not contribute. This is too funny. I love your ranting! Imma keep listening to see if I can make out anything else my sister.
Trici Kitten yes it is🤣🤣
Cee Cee Lane what does this “come a foreign on vacation” mean?
Preach sista!! Well said.
No disrespect but please do not tell the people to work with out proper documents.
My family stayed with me for 6 month and I enjoyed having my family i remember how hard my mother work to put food on the table when things was hard. My sister takes care of my mother back home and i will do the best i can for her.
Go up more on the bed. I am coming on Vacation. Lol
You are something else!!
😂😂😂
My family in America own their houses, so no rent. They are not rich but can comfortably host me. I spend only 3 weeks each year. I don't visit the same house each visit. I am asked not to wash dishes caz the dishwasher is there for that. I thank God for the family n friendz I have. I love you guys!
If they own their home keep in mind they may have mortgage . Owning a home only often means you pay the bank instead
Talk bout the ones them wey a struggle and when them visitors come and not begging them anything and can afford to shop comfortably and eat out every night and a contribute for being there for the time how them a badmind them guest.
I love so much you speak truth all the time . I just subscribed to ur channel.
Mi love dis true no body can come to my apartment and do that I always change my number nuff respect.
Oh Cee Cee, I could listen to you all day long. Sending 💜 from 🇬🇧🙋🏽👍🏽
Glad mi no love people yard. If me fi go foreign a fi go stay with my cocky not family nor friends
That is why when mi go a ppl yard mi hold mi own. Mi nuh wait pon handouts. Mi always travel wid mi dutty money. Some ppl barefaced wid it. Some a dem nuh have no conscience or consideration for ppl things or kindheart.
When you go to visit them in Jamaica for 2 weeks all the expenses is on you. A true man
True Mon! Some get work and still don't want to help out, so I stop taking people at my place!
Truth…100!
You people give the impression that foreign street pave with gold.
So mi can come spend 3 months like how mi have up mi dutty money like that? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Amen!! I learn my lesson when a so-called friend came up and sit down on me then when she got a job, she started to work her brain on me. Like what you said not in my cabinet again, Never!!
She is speeking true.
Shut yu fuck
I was wondering what happen to u did not hear from you so long u always crack me up laughing
It is true when some Jamaican travel to AMERICA AND CANADA and don't help do anything. I had to work as soon as I arrived in Canada. I had to stand in cold in the winterss. Yes! Informed them on how it goes in foreign countries . All that you are saying is truth. Some of them if and when they work they don't want to contribute any money to the household. 😮❤
Have 2 yah weh mi about to give notice.. 2years now... time for them to go... heavy weight... I have to come home from work and washing dishes, cook and cleaning😏... while 2 grown ass body in the House... plus they make their contributions whenever they feel like... not consistent... Hotel is 70$ and up a day... and a room in someone house, depends on area is $500 and up...
Talk the truth sister you are 100% right
I grew up the old school way. When you have visitors/guest, you always go out of your way to make them as comfortable as possible and that means you foot the bill in most instances. One to two weeks of paying all the expenses, for example groceries and entertainment is not bad. Most people don't mind. But after that, it's too much financially. Most people simply cannot afford to have visitors for an extended stay and support them financially. That is really what the issue is and the problem. The host cannot afford it. When you stay for more than two weeks, you have to be able to contribute financially or else you become a financial burden and a money drain. The host is putting out extra money or has to find the extra money, that they were not putting out before. So the extra person or persons eventually start becoming a financial burden the longer they stay. In begining they are not, but over time they become a burden.
true
TRUE TRUE THING. FEM COME WITH FREENESS MENTALITY. SOME STAY FI YEARS AND REFUSE TO CONTRIBUTE. NO CASH AND WOULDN'T EVEN TRY SAVE FACE WITH KIND. LIKE DOING THINGS THAT OBVIOUSLY NEED TO GET DONE. FREE LOADERS! YOU SHOULD DO A VIDEO ON THE FREE LOADERS. YOU GO GIRL!YOU R REAL. 1 LOVE!
Well said but it go both ways when them come a Jamaica them a behave like them a tourist
Venice Reid so damn true they always expecting something
The amount of times I have been to the U.S. even for six months I come to help in the house or if someone sells goods I go to sell with them. I have to U.S. twice in 27 years. Second time I went to take care my father who was said to be dying. I saved him from dying four extra months and you should hear that the what left I have not got but U$700 all the cds, dvds and such the like gone to those whom he never left it to it is amazing!
The one thing that always bugged me as a kid (and now still) was when we would go back home, was the entitled and ungrateful behavior of the adults. My parents never called them out on their disgusting behavior. The overweight suitcases was full of stuff for the people back home, and it was never enough for them. The countless times we were greeted not with a "hello, glad to see you, how was your flight" but "when are you leaving and what did you bring me". Which is always followed up with a disappointed "is that all you brought me?"
All this on top of parents reimbursing them for the gas, food and whatever else it cost to house us three during the family trip. (Vacation is not even the right word for it) Let's not forget the all year round begging in either collect phone calls and monthly letters. smdh
Yet when these same entitled relatives come up to visit us, they come with their two long arms. Back in the day, make long distance calls in the middle of the day, at the full rate without using basic manners to ask my parents' permission. A couple of them even extended stay and I'm pretty sure they didn't consult my parents first or kick in for the expense, like we do for them.
Because of all that as a teen I promised myself if I ever go to visit, I'm staying in a hotel or resort.
Rant over.
I'm glad you said it and not me because that's nothing but the truth they overstay there welcome they eat up your food run up your bills it can be a burden for true sister 🙏
That's the truth.the whole truth and nothing but the truth !
Good thanks God bless
Communication is the key. Lay down expectation clearly so that your family guests understand. It is family it can work.
Me have a cousin came to Canada to spend some time with me and when she go out and buy any thing to eat she hiding it from me it's just me and she is the home im the one who invited her here and she is hiding food from me. I said no more .they have a in Jamaica good have to suffer for the bad
True talk a lot a people complain about the same thing.
A jus so mi African people tan!!!!! I'm so surprised. Africans will use family connection and expect you to feel shame to say anything. I wish they could ALL watch this. Big up yuhself, Empress. Medaase (thank you).
Yes tell it out loudddddd😅😅😅😅
No no noackee is not 7$ wherei live 12$where i live 🤣🤣🤣
Yes mi girl talk up de thing. And some are so ungrateful. They want you to take them shopping everyday to bring back barrel with them to Jamaica and they don’t have no rass money.
i love your words its true what you say i live in toronto and a family member did the same thing to me and mi kick her out LOL
You Jamaican don't know what it mean by vacation , have no respect when some come to visit you . If it was stranger you ppl would take care better you ppl don't know the meaning about family .
If I had family to visit me here in Canada, I would not have no problem staying with me for a long period, as long as they help out around the house and respect my house , Wouldn't have an issues.
Listen mi know how it was wen mi first come ya and mi would neva put anyone through dat.
2 weeks would be my cap Chrissie. Both as a visitor and host. Me non love people yard and me like me own space still. So 2 weeks a me limit and dat even too long but me will work wid it.
Lol! Boy hun, if only everybody had a conscience like u!
Real talk , speak the truth, same so
I love the way you express you words. I am from England and I would not dream of expecting anybody to support me on a financial level. May be Jamaica’s think life owes them a living.
my girl my girl my girl!!!!! BAP BAP! BAP! BAP!
AND NOT TO MENTION WHEN YOU GO ON VACATION IN JAMAICA, THEY WANT YOU TO HOST THEM ULTIMATELY.
Kitty get kick out a de house she too lazy meck the rat get way. Lol girl u funny
real talk couldn't say it better
I'm sorry but I can't co-sign to that mean spirit talk. Some of us have forgotten our culture of caring for each other. Yes, here we get tired and depressed because we work very hard here, but don't we look forward to going to Ja. where our family give us everything. Mangoes, water coconut, pine , Jack fruit etc? Love you my Ja peeps.
Yes true thing you are talking crissy.who takes vacation for 6 mths.that why many of them lose thier visa because immigration not stupid.who vacation for 6 mths.and some of them shop and pack up go back home and don't even want to buy the very food they eat while they are here
Vicky Morgan that is so true, not even a snack for themselves they would buy, these people save.all their money and do their business, but yet come over here And take. Advantage of u just cause I might be a nice person, life is hard any where u take it here or there, they people think money fries on tree, and when u go to Jamaica they don't offer u nothing,
They think money groves on trees
Even Africans are like this....true story av experienced
Camilla Brown lol same people. we are their descendants
I would not feel comfortable just sitting around doing nothing, if u gone to work its only fair that i can cook and keep the place clean so u can be comfortable when u get home, until i get something to do..when i came to America living with my sister after a week i decide that i don't want to be home, i started searching penny savers and newspaper and the third week i started working..stayed in that job for two years them upgrade myself..i hate sitting down and not contributing one way or the other...so you are speaking facts my dear
cameshia thaw hun, unfortunately ano see things like yu! D amount dem weh cud’s mi out fi dah video ya🤦🏾♀️
yes me and my husband wake out of our bed 3before daylight and pick up dem it was a mess... I don't want dem back my yard! dem become house enemy...
hahahahahah Be prepared for the family fall out.
Grow Afro preach mi fren..a nuff bex wid mi caw mi tawk mi mine
When mi ready fo come home mi full two barrels buy one big screen TV and a washing machine and pay 70$ Month to mi host .when mi ready fo come home nobody caaan chat to me
Who has ears to hear let them hear!!
A relative wanted to come for a month. A grown married woman wants to come I would have to feed her, shop for her, entertain her. Pay energy bill for her, buy extra bath soap. Then pay phone bill because she would have to call her husband and children back home. Maybe she would bring her daughter and I would have to feed the daughter and buy winter clothes. I work three jobs, one full hours and the other two part time.
I agree. Don't forget the ones who call themselves family, stay at u' re place and when them leave u' re stuff leave with them. Most often when u go to JA. people are there to greet u, because they're expecting to receive. when u' re ready to leave, u' re lucky to find one person to go with u to the airport.
Leave this hype girl to Trump and his racist few.She is telling yall she doesn't want you at her house.smh
Straight up,same so.
When they come they don't know how to use vacuum they pick up them clothes and leave yours they thief your money
JAMAICA GOT BILLS TOO
Talk girl ,,,its the true,,,we dance a wait on bus and train cause we cold
I don't mind when family come around.i have a problem when they are lazy please clean up do something don't just sit around as if there is nothing around the house to do.
I went to Jamaica for vacation. I spend three months. But let me tell you this mi spending money before mi reach..during the time I'm there.. and after mi left..food clothes, light bill, water rate. Not complaining but lard some ppl don't have any conscience
Not only Jamaicans
yeah i experience it with Guyanese lol
I really like your honesty dear
My cousin come from Jamaica and didn't even wash the dishes and when I talk to her about it she get upset and when she was leaving she call DCF and tell them that I am abusing my son that was her revenge and that is one of the reason why I never look back to visit Jamaica because they are wicked people
Dionne Selhower Omg!
YES! People come lay on your couch for months eat your groceries watch your tv,without a conscience and make you feel like a guest in your own home. I had one person do that to me and it made it bad for everybody after, no one stays at my house let alone visit.
Real talk girl as Always.🤔.
U sound bad mind.how when u come a Jamaican u want people Tings
Hi Crissy I totally agree with you
Tell it like it is girl!
you one hundred percent right
You are so right they don't have no idea what you are going through you try your best to accommodate the and when they leave you are the worst thing on too foot I have been there with them NO BODY NA COME TO MI HOME ANYMORE
And some a you foreign ppl too wicked you tell them to come and as soon as the Bread fruit and ackee and stuff finished you dash the ppl them out or start show them bad face..kmt...Me na gu a ppl yard...my family come a Jamaica and me put them up as long as them want to stay and don't ask them to pay bills but for sure I told them to conserve.
Jamaicans some a you bad mine long time and don't want anyone else up there. Most of who is supporting her don't have any love long time. Chinese would not treat their family like that. Even if we work like hog you people don't want any body up there.
Disgraceful people are not scrounger when people come to visit they are treated like helpers and dogs your worst life in Jamaica is your best life in foreign please people stop visiting these ungrateful family and don't give them any weapon to kill you.
Real talk sista tell them
Please do a video about the Jamaicans wey live a foreign and a look helper from the same visitors like they think people come on vacation to come do domestic work. Talk bout how dem nasty and lazy and think they hired helper and buy plane ticket for their guests to come turn helper for them.
U see that’s the reason why u should either have ur money for hotel or have money to contribute for your length of stay... Because that’s the only reason one would ask for u to help out... if ur staying for free.. one hand washes the other🤷🏾♀️
Our heavenly Father we know that Satan has done a great job but your word exposed him so that we would never be deceived help us to have boldness when we come before thee because of what the blood of Jesus done for us by your grace help us to join the great worshipers like Job and Abraham we pray in Jesus name amen
Only the black people chat them things yah, not the Chinese or white man. When them done them seh white man enslave them. When them come to Jamaica treat them same way. Don't cook nuh food fi dem. And come off a yuh bed GI dem. Don't follow dem go nuh way. Mek them tek taxi.
There is no such thing as a free lunch in the developed countries. Been There, Done That. You either hustle or homeless in the streets.😮😢😮😅😊😂❤
She sound hypocritical...I do not like the bad light you are shedding on Jamaicans, a nuh your family help you get to where u are?..what if you had no family, a lot of people wish they had family to feed and treat like kings and queens
Real talk
Speak the truth sista. Some Jamaicans have such a distorted view of North America. Thinking it is a paradise and money grows on trees.
Thank God for mine...we look out for each other both sides of the fence....We always wish the other could stay longer...
If I stay at family yard I go shopping for them carry dem bout in rental and bring up clothes and shoes and full dem pocket and rest of family and friends and go rum bar and buy drink fi people I don't know .
So don't tar everyone wid dutty brush .
FACTS MY GIRL! !!!!PREACH IT TO THEM
When I go to NYork I stay in a hotel because I have heard of relatives talking about their own who over stay their welcome and how stingy they are not wanting to spend money for even food or transport and its true. I have been to several places and stay at all inclusive because I think if you can afford the visa and ticket why can't you afford a hotel instead of putting extra pressure on relatives.
I love this!!! Mi daughter you are honest.
