I want to talk about being a child of a
0:02
single parent household a black single
0:05
mother working multiple jobs just to
0:08
trying to take care of her
0:10
child and Par like people they want to
0:16
parenting do parenting get easy it
0:22
don't you going to keep parenting until
0:26
die cuz at the end of the day you still
0:30
going to be you're a parent of a
0:34
and by me being a child of a single
0:38
mother she was not always at the house
0:41
all the time because she had to pay
0:43
bills and you had to be at the house or
0:47
I was out of with my Grandma at the time
0:51
living and you just whatever eat you
0:54
some cereal come home do your homework
0:58
watch TV you know go play
1:01
outside and you just had to be a
1:04
responsible kid and a lot of kids didn't
1:07
do that to get the s in trouble you know
1:10
do all the you know off-the-wall stuff
1:14
do but a parent job is
1:19
never go you always going to be a parent
1:22
until you die it ain't gonna get easy I
1:25
mean ain't GNA it's it's not gonna get
1:28
easy because when they get older you
1:31
know they get in relationship they have
1:34
kids and uh mean it goes on from there
1:38
but for me being the only child in the
1:42
single parent household it's you know
1:46
you you want your you want to try to
1:47
spend as much time with your mother what
1:49
you want or father if you have a single
1:51
parent father mother or father but mine
1:55
was you know mother but you already know
1:59
for y'all to survive she had to be at
2:03
work she only had my mama only had a
2:08
high school diploma she didn't go to
2:10
college and you know her parents
2:12
couldn't afford to you know bring her
2:14
there or you know she could have worked
2:16
and did it but that really wasn't on her
2:19
agenda her agenda was just trying to pay
2:23
survive and you know my father was an
2:27
aptive father I might see him every
2:29
couple of years or he might call or
2:31
anything like that but it wasn't nothing
2:34
really major in my life that way he you
2:37
know giving money where we could live a
2:40
better life or or anything like that it
2:43
didn't roll like that so he was you know
2:46
I I knew who he was I seen him a couple
2:49
times I spent some time with him and
2:51
stuff like that but he wasn't no major
2:54
help in my life or even help my mama out
2:58
so it would just me and her
3:00
and basically you just had to work what
3:03
you do we didn't have
3:06
that type of how I'mma put it we didn't
3:09
have that type of relationship where we
3:11
was all loveby duby and all that I loved
3:14
her you know and and I knew that she
3:17
loved me that was about it it wasn't no
3:19
oh loveby duby giving each other hugs I
3:23
love you I love this and all that it
3:27
that and you know we was just just
3:31
trying to make it and until we could um
3:34
just trying to make it that's about it
3:37
try try to cause less trouble try to do
3:41
things that don't cost money because
3:43
everything counts especially when you a
3:46
a single parent just trying to survive
3:49
and you can't get the best of jobs you
3:52
can't get the best high paying jobs
3:54
because of your you know your abilities
3:57
or maybe you can't get job because you
4:00
don't have the education to get
4:03
it so you know at the end of the day you
4:07
know she did what she had to do to take
4:08
care of responsibility you know know my
4:11
dad he didn't you know I don't like a
4:13
lot of kids Envy their father I don't I
4:16
don't envy I don't hate him I respect
4:20
him as my father that's it you know I
4:23
don't be that have that Grudge and you
4:25
know maybe if he was in my life it would
4:27
have been better you know because they
4:30
would have had a second income and maybe
4:32
I could have had that two parent
4:35
household but you know I'm grown now I
4:38
can't be you know going over you know
4:42
over I mean of in the
4:44
past but we made through you know at the
4:48
end of the day she did what she had to
4:50
do feed me clothed me bought video games
4:55
about the you know the name brain stuff
4:58
you know you like to have name brand but
5:01
I wanted video games that was my thing
5:03
video games I could care less about name
5:05
brand clothes and all that and maybe I
5:08
probably would have been more popular if
5:10
I had name band clothes but you can have
5:12
name band clothes and still don't be
5:14
popular so I didn't really care about
5:16
all that all I worried about playing
5:18
video games long as I could eat and had
5:21
a roof over my head I was cool with it
5:24
you know it's just that was about it you
5:27
know you couldn't you know you only
5:29
could do what your means could take um
5:31
take you so and I appreciate her for
5:35
doing the things she I mean she could do
5:38
with the amount of resources we had you
5:41
know that's the thing about you always
5:46
appreciative you always got to be
5:48
appreciative of what you got don't worry
5:51
about what you don't have just be
5:54
appreciative of what you do have cuz
5:56
some people don't even you might think
5:58
you in a horrible situation you might
6:00
think you in a bad situation but they
6:02
got some people that's living worse
6:05
doing worse than what you are so that's
6:09
what that I just be appreciative of what
6:11
I got and what I have because if you
6:14
sitting there worrying about what you
6:17
don't have is this going to lead to
6:19
anxiety depression and all that and
6:22
that's a what a lot of people got to sit
6:25
there and realize don't get mad cuz your
6:27
dad or your mom or your people wasn't in
6:29
your life just be happy for the people
