What Happens When a Nigerian Mom Raises Spoiled American Kids?

What Happens When a Nigerian Mom Raises Spoiled American Kids?

Tonight on WifeSwap, two women, worlds apart. I’m not playing with you.   A no nonsense mom Daniel, upstairs now. who demands respect from her family and an overwhelmed mom Get off my refrigerator. whose husband hides away in their bedroom while their spoiled kids do wh@tever they want. I want to do my own makeup.

What do you need makeup anymore? I didn’t call you in here. They swap lives for 1 week.   Oh my goodness, a princess lives in here. Are these kids literally bowing at my feet? The new mom should expect torture, hours and hours of torture. Okay, I have my work cut out for me. It will change their lives forever.

Girls, you’re going to go out for the rest of the night   and you can’t come back before midnight. Not in my house. Oh my god. No more TV on school nights. Wow. Why what why what? Meet the Nigerian American Akimbode family. Mom Kemi, dad David, their daughters Elizabeth and Hannah, and sons David Jr. and Daniel.

In Nigeria, our names have a meaning and my name is Oluwakemi which means God has blessed me. Of course, she’s just a a unique, very loving, caring person. I love being his wife. Nigerians we believe in respect of the elders. Children kneel down to greet elders to give them   the respect that they deserve.

In American culture, I really don’t like the disrespect from children. Dan Dan, Daniel come here. I will not tolerate this sort of behavior in my house. If you’re not disciplined then how you going to know right? Have you done your homework? Uh Listen man, go upstairs go upstairs go upstairs and get your homework done. In the Nigerian household, the men are the head of the household.

But   you’re still the boss in the kitchen.   Yes, I am. You don’t get to eat junk food when I’m cooking, little boy. That’s my kitchen.      We love the Nigerian tradition, our food Yeah. our clothing   Rise and shine. I hope you guys are looking at the time. It’s 6:00 a.m. our lifestyle and that’s very important to us to know who you are, it grounds you.

My children were laughing. They said when you go to a new house, what are you going to do? I’m I’m a disciplinarian and people around me know. What do you think your mom will do if the children in the other house are disrespectful? Uh beat them with a belt. Kneel down to your parents. Meet the spoiled Mollus family.

Mom Nikki, dad Scott, son Keegan, daughter Annika, and twins Rafe   and River. Our kids are spoiled. My kids are not spoiled. Where’s the charger? The charger stays with me. No, I need the charger. I don’t care. They’re rotten. Wh@tever, they’re not spoiled. My kids are angels. I’m very spoiled. I get wh@tever I want.

Annika She does pageants. She probably does a pageant a month. My philosophy on having children is you need to give them the money they need, you need to do everything they want. You choose to have them, then you choose to   spend your money on them and your kids come before you do. You’re not touching my hair with those curlers.

I’m sponsored by my daddy’s wallet. Doesn’t bother me one bit. I’ve won Miss Georgia, Miss Down on the Farm Miss Country Road. I’m going to fall asleep before seeing bedtime cuz of how much you’re boring me. Keegan, you might see him twice a week, but other than that he’s playing the game.   You don’t even have to deal with Keegan. He’s in his room the whole time.

Cuz you won’t stop making so much noise. We get along so well. He’s our 90 year old man trapped in   a 10 year old body. I should smack you. Let me smack you up.      River and Rafe are four. They are just like their daddy. If they’re quiet, they’re into something. Don’t do that. No, no, no, no, no.

Please do not   do that. River, what did you just Blur that out.   Blur. No.   No, stop. Blur you. Blur me, please. We have rental properties. It’s just me and I fix them all. Scott doesn’t help. So, I pick up fast food. Daddy, come get your food. Scott usually takes his to   the bedroom and watches TV while he eats.

Yeah, I like to eat in peace. Can you make cinnamon toast? How about nuggets?   Cinnamon. Cinnamon. I do everything for my kids. Cinnamon. Scott does nothing. Get off my refrigerator. I’ve had four husbands already and if Scott   doesn’t step up soon, I’m going to be looking for number five. Is the car here yet? She needs to go.

You better be worried about if I come back. It’s the morning of the swap and the wives are preparing to leave home. Let’s fold this and put it in there. Okay. Do you know the numbers are your mama’s? 911? I’m older than   you, son. Okay, but I’m still worried. With me out of the house, there is going to be cha0s.

I’ve never been gone for a week and Scott knows nothing about anything. Keegan. What? I can’t get no hug? No. I love you. Are you going to be a good boy for mommy?       Going to miss me? No, I’m not. To the wife coming in, I would say good luck. You’re going to need it. Have fun. The wives have no idea where they’re going or who they’ll be living with.

If this family expects me to cook, then they’re going to be in big trouble because I don’t like to cook. Oh, smell of the mouse. That’s a big old driveway. Are you kidding me? You need a 4×4 to get up in here. I hope that children here to help carry my bags.   Before they meet their new families, Kemi and Nikki have a chance to look around their new homes. Oh.

Uh different culture. Really personal here. A lot different than my house. Probably the master bedroom. Hopefully this is the magic room. She does a lot of cooking. I h@te cooking. That’s his game in a child’s room. That’s a no no. If a boy is playing   games all day long, what time does he have to interact with mom and dad? Oh goodness, a princess lives in here.

With tiaras and Wow, this is like cr4zy. Okay, I have my work cut out for me. Kemi and Nikki have each written a manual to guide the new wife with the running of their home. Our house is a very playful and joyful Nigerian home. Because we are Nigerian, I call my husband uh I call my husband what? I love we over our me? Wow, they really are from Nigeria.

My name is Nikki. My husband Scott and I got married in 2016.       This isn’t the first marriage for either of us. Okay, I have had four marriages and he’s had two. Oh lord. Oh lord. Oh lord. We do love to f1ght to f1ght f1ght who? Each other? We’re not f1ghting. Oh, cuz I win.      We work together   to instill strict discipline in our children.

Oh, h3ll no.      Yeah, good luck with that in my house.   We have a bunch of wild kids.   They pretty much do as they please. Oh, heck to the no. It is important for our children to learn and do chores. She tries to get my kids to do chores, they’re probably going to call for me to come home.

Annika is nine and she’s our beauty queen. She started doing pageants at 3 months old. Did you even breastfeed this child?   We don’t allow our children to go out after dark. Why? I wish Scott would participate with the family   more. He stays in our bedroom and avoids the responsibility   of being a husband and a father.

Really? Ooh, what kind of marriage is   this? This house reminds me a lot of the house that I grew up in and when I was growing up, I couldn’t do anything about it, but I can help this household. It’s now time for the wives to meet their new husbands and families. How are you? How are you? Nice to meet you. Uh welcome.

What are y’all doing?       They bow to show respect. I ain’t never seen nothing like that before. That was neat. Thank you. Are these kids literally bowing at my feet? My kids ain’t bowing to nobody. Nice to meet you. I’m Nikki. Tolu. Tayo. Tiya. Hey.   Daniel. Daniel. And I’m David. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you.

What do you think about all this? I thought you were our color. You got a problem with that? Don’t be rude, Daniel. No, we’re not going to get along.     Kids are honest, that’s one thing about kids. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hi. How you doing? Come on in sit down, kids.

Oh, you don’t shake hands? Rafe, Anika, River, Tegan. How do you feel to have a new mommy in the house? Better than our old mom. Woah. Oh, I cracked myself a few times for back sl4pping a child.   Oh my goodness. Coming   up. I’m not happy about this. I’d rather be sh0t in the face at close range with bear sh0t. It’s almost like being h00ked on dru9s.

You’re not a little baby.       As she begins her swap in the Akimboday household. This will be your room for the week. And today’s a special day, so we have a special attire   for you. The first rule Nikki Mallesh must do is wear the traditional Nigerian attire. Let’s see. I can’t believe I got myself into this Uh uh uh uh This is the skirt.

I couldn’t figure out the hairpiece either. You take it? Okay, yeah. You tie it in the back. Okay. There we go. Finally dressed the part, Nikki must now try to fill Kemi Akimboday’s shoes in the kitchen. Introducing Mommy Nikki. Oh, you look pretty. So, Nikki, we’re going to do some cooking. Who going to do some cooking? All of us.

I am not happy about the cooking. I don’t cook. I’d rather be sh0t in the face at close range with bear sh0t. So, it doesn’t mean it matter   if the beans broke up? No. That’s okay. Yeah.   to have mental trauma from this. Having to cook. Absolutely, it’s good for a woman to   know how to cook for their family because when we cook, we talk, we communicate.

Just like sprinkle all over it.   Sprinkle all over it to make it A little bit more. Okay, a little bit more on the other side.      Just a little bit more. Okay, that’s perfect. Now we’re going to cover it and Y’all are so happy about cooking. This is fun. I was not finding any fun. Queen Miss Mexico. Back at Nikki’s house, strict disciplinarian Kemi Akimboday needs to figure out how an indulgent mom like Nikki takes care of kids who are used to getting everything they want.

How do you guys cook? Nikki usually goes and gets the food. What what y’all want to eat? Subway sandwich. But she don’t cook. She don’t cook.   New person in the house, she decides. She decides. What part of that did you not understand? No, he didn’t just say that. Cuz I I was about to lash back then. Did you just talk to your father like that, but cuz I know it’s not my day yet.

I shut  it up for now. Not my day yet. That’s a bag. You don’t put your head in it. Back at the Akimboday’s house, Nikki reluctantly gets to taste the fruits of her labor. What do you think? I’m sorry. That’s hot.      It’s good time. It’s good food. I have been wanting to healthier eating and like get back down because I was smaller before I got married and I think I went into a depression after I said I do.

Why did you go into a depression? Because he changed. Um I try to find ways or used to for him to spend time with me. So, now it’s just easier for him to leave me alone and me to leave him alone. What I suggest   is to keep trying. Getting involved and being more involved. Starting a conversation. Maybe Scott should think about doing the husband swap, coming over here and catching him some lessons.

So, we usually talk about our day. How was your day? Good. Good? Yeah. How was your day? A learning experience. Stop complaining. I didn’t get tomato. Okay, you want to take out the tomatoes so you can eat it?   them off. Oh, Scott. Are you going to join us to eat? I usually eat in here peace and quiet. Okay.

I don’t believe it’s Scott eating in the bedroom. We’re in the same house. We’re husband and wife. You need to talk to me. You didn’t marry a roommate. I am not a roommate. I’m your spouse and that we talk. What time do you go to bed? I don’t necessarily know. Mom doesn’t have a normal set time to go to bed.

You did your homework for tonight? Can I see it? I forgot.   Okay. But where’s my book bag? Wow. Okay, so you’re going to check in your room and bring it downstairs. This is too much for the children. There’s no structure in the home.      Okay, that’s it. Are we ready to go to bed? So, what are you doing here? I’m trying my very best not to go to sleep.

So, you play games on the TV? Mhm. You don’t read books? I don’t have a library card. Okay. So, have have you ever played tennis before? Yeah, when I was five. Oh, wow. Playing tennis is one of the way that we bond as a family. That is our quality time. So, Nikki needs to learn that. This is a good racket. Uh okay. No, it’s not a good racket.

You want to try this one? Yeah. It’s not working. I’m feeling hot, sweaty, nasty. I feel like I’m unclothed and afraid. It’s pretty ball in the court. Yeah. That’s awesome. It almost went over. It almost went over. Oh, it’s got to go over.   Yeah. To that side. This family’s active together. My family’s not active like this together.

My husband does nothing with us. That’s awesome. Awesome. Fat people d1e when they do stuff like this in the heat. We play at least about three or four times a week as much as we can. How do you keep your relationship where y’all   communicate? Cuz at my house without kids, we just looking at each other. We have fun. We engage.

There’s a lot that   we do together to keep the marriage working. So, you want to play another set? No, not really. Continuing Nikki’s old rules, Kemi Akimboday must help glamorous daughter Anika with pageant practice. This is for afterward. It makes everything start shimmering. Just dab it on my face.

Is it Is it ever too much? No. Use the one on your finger. Where? On your finger. Where? Right here?   Okay. Then I’m like right here. Okay, I’m trying not to get it in your eyes. I learned about makeup when I was three. And this is my favorite crown. This is your dress? Uh huh. You see wearing Oh, Jesus. No.

I have shorts on. Oh, no, no, no. Go change. Go change.       You know how my daughters would wear this dress you’re wearing? Do you know how they wear it? How? So, we get a lacy top that’s long. So, we wear that underneath this and then they wear the dress and it still looks beautiful. Well, I like showing skin.

You know, that’s too much in No. This was for prettiest hair. Prettiest hair? Prettiest smile. Prettiest smile? The queen.       Anika. I am listening.   So, do you believe that you’re beautiful without your makeup on or you believe that your makeup makes you prettier? Both. No, you have to pick one.

You said that you’re beautiful or you’re not. So, then I’m ugly. No, you’re not ugly. That’s what I’m trying to tell you. You are not ugly. You don’t need a makeup to make you beautiful.   They will not let you in a pageant if you don’t have makeup on. Just letting you know that.   Really? Really.

I believe Nikki’s philosophy about pageants. She believes that this will boost her daughter’s confidence, but I don’t believe that they need this false   sense of beauty for them to feel confident. That’s a wrong message to send to a little girl. Kemi continues living Nikki’s hectic life at the Mallesh house. By catering to the needs of her lazy swapped husband Scott, taking demanding daughter Anika to one of her many cla.sses, and then diving into renovations at one of their rental properties.

this is Hey, this is my   one of the rental properties I’m working on currently. Okay. I want to start in this room. There’s a mask for you. Okay. I think the thing we need to do today is probably put some paint on the wall. Woah, it looks like there’s a lot of work, but with Scott helping me, it’s going to be fine.

I love people working together. You have any questions, give me a call. Okay. So, Scott brought me in here to work and       he left. Nikki, I don’t know how you’re doing it, but you need a better partner in marriage. This looks This is a lot. Can’t we do this by myself? Sweeping the floor, painting the wall.

That’s too much. Back at the Akinbode house. What are y’all doing? Working on the   Nikki is surprised to see the kids hard at work with their online businesses on a weekend.   So, what I’m doing is I’m working on their t shirt company and I find which platform fits like their idea and what they want.   Does this take away from regular   kid your age activity? Like this is what we find fun.

If we’re not together, then it’s not fun. So, you don’t feel like this takes away from friends and having friends or I don’t need friends. I knew we have each other. We don’t have really have friends.   adding to my life, then there’s no point of them being my friend, so.       Okay. I think that it’s weird that these kids are only friends with each other and never go out on their own.

I think they’re being brainwashed by their parents. How much do y’all make doing all this? Roughly 150. It it fluctuates.   150 in a week? How many hours per day would you say you do this? During summer, I would say maybe   seven in a day. Seven to 10 in a day? Let’s just say 400 for the month.

Okay. At 10 hours a day. That’s like 19 cents. Wow. Yeah. I   I feel disgusted. I thought that these parents knew what they were doing with these kids,   but after sitting there listening to that, I’m not so sure. So, I have a few questions to ask you.   Yeah, absolutely. With your wife, with communication A lack of There’s a lack of communication. Okay.

You know, communication is very very important.   Yeah, and and that could improve. So, you’re willing to like leave the room during dinner time to eat with the family and eat dinner?   If there’s cooked food in there, I’ll go right on in.   Oh, if there’s good food to cook Okay. Okay. Yeah.   No TV in the room.

Oh, you don’t like that? The room is where the magic happens. We don’t have time for TV. Your wife is supposed to be your TV when you’re in the room. I hear you. No, baby. The bedroom is where the magic happens. If we’re not looking at each other’s eyes and seeing stars in them, then we’re supposed to be getting busy.       If we’re not getting busy, we’re supposed to be sleeping.

Not watching TV. Mhm. After struggling for days under the old house rules, the new wives are   ready to take control and lay down their new rules. New rule, you’re to set aside your businesses, put the books away, and try something   new. Girls, make plans with your friends cuz you’re going to go out in one night.

And you can’t come back before midnight.      David, you and your wife have sheltered these kids and I believe it’s   important that they can have friends and that friendships can teach things as well as family. I do not agree with like 95% of that. We are leaders and we’re raising leaders, great leaders,       and leaders do not work the way ordinary people work.

I’m not going to allow that. Sorry. Good night my house. Nope. I followed y’all’s rules. I ate your food and I wore your clothes, so it’s my   turn. Scott, you need to be more involved as a parent. And start interacting more with the children and wife.   So, you will eat dinner with a family. So, you guys are going to help Mommy with cooking the meals   and fixing up the properties.

The next rule, no more TV on school nights. No phones, no TVs in the rooms, and no game console   for Keegan’s room. I’m so proud of you. You’re so involved in this. No more TV in Keegan’s room, no more TV in anybody’s room during weeknights. That’s all right with me, right? And the one in Daddy’s room.

And his phone. Daddy was not too happy about his phone. And he wasn’t too happy about his TV, but everybody’s on the same page now. So, we’re going to do it family night. Are we going to do a game? Oh, okay. I love that. I’m miserable. I don’t know what I’m going to do. Keegan. What’s Keegan?   Keegan, are you okay? Hey Keegan.

Keegan. Keegan. What’s going on? Talk to me. Talk to me.       Because I took the TV out of your room? You want to go for a walk? Okay, me taking the TV out of your room is not the end of the world, okay? You have to find something else to do in place of that, okay? You don’t want to come downstairs and play with us anymore for tonight? You sure? Okay.

He’s h00ked on it. It’s almost like being h00ked on dru9s, so what can you say? You know, it’s not his fault. He’s just He’s just a little child caught up in this bad habit. You want to do laser tag? Nikki begins to implement her new rules by taking the Akinbode kids away from their family centered routine to a place they can have fun and hopefully make new friends.

Right now, I’m having a really good time with Mama Nikki and her idea of fun, but I I still feel disconnected in some sense where I feel like I should be working right now, but it’s is what it is. I set a rule today for the kids to mingle and meet friends cuz life is not about working. I’m Bobby. I’m David. David, Hannah. Hannah, nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you. Who’s y’all’s new friend? I’m Bobby. Bobby? Yes, nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. I was a little bit taken back cuz I was like new people and I was a little scared, but once we started talking, it was very nice to meet someone new and to make a new friend.      Oh, no. Okay,   sit up. Sit up. Sit up.

Come on. You’re not a little baby. You are 10. Sit up. Get tissue and wipe your nose, please. This is what happens when you spoil a child. It is the mother’s fault for giving the child everything that they want and the father’s fault for not being involved. If we were not here, imagine him in the next 6 years.

Imagine him as a 18 year old, a 20 year old, a 32 year old.       What’s wrong? You You miss your mom? You won’t be back home for long. And I try to watch TV to forget about it. That’s why I’m watching it. Sometimes you can take things away to figure out you don’t really need them, you know? Keegan feeling this upset   is a great proof that what I just did is is right because he’s h00ked on that thing like Oh my goodness.

Wow. As Kemi continues to enforce her new rules, she brings the spoiled Mullis kids to the rental property to work. So, what we’re going to do is clean. We’re going to sweep and we’re going to paint. Ready for action. Do I need this? No, family. It’s better to work together. It’s more fun. There you go. Here you go, bud.

When you’re doing work like this, and you can’t be cha0s. Little ones running around, grabbing tools, and wanting to do this and that. What you doing? I’m going to get all these nails up. There you go. I need some more paint. Oh, I’m okay. I’m okay. You guys did a great job. Thank you.   Keegan, if I never knew before, I thought you were pain in the a.ss before in your life.

And look at Anika right here, too. You go, girl. I believe they learn the value of family and working together as one   rather than f1ghting. It went well. Are we having fun? No. Are you serious? I want to paint more. I don’t want to go in. You don’t want to go? I want to do this. I’m glad we got to do this as a whole family. Yeah, it’s a whole family.

It was so fun. Back at the Akinbode house, the girls get ready for their marathon night on the town.       How do we look? It’s important for the girls to get time to their self. They’re adults. They need time away and time to mingle with their friends. David is not happy about it. In Jesus name we pray.

I put them under your protection. Amen. If Nikki is doing this kind of rules in our home, I think she’s just going to raise people that are going to have issues. You might have failed marriage just like what she just had. Keegan. What’s going on? I’m I have something for you. What? So, instead of you watching that game console every day, I rather you just read this.

Have you heard of that?       I’m a substitute spell. His real mother needs to stop giving these kids   everything that they want and start giving them everything that they need before it’s too late. All it takes is my interest. Oh, really? And you I have one right now? Wow. Can I have a I am so happy right now.

I’m proud of you. You’re   the best boy. Back at the Akimbo household, it’s the middle of the night and Nikki is waiting for Hannah and Elizabeth to come home from their big night out. 11:59 While still unapproving dad David calls it a night. Come on. Hi. Did you have fun? Yes. Where’d you go? Friend’s house.

Did you all get videos, pictures? Let me go and leave the house.       I’m really glad that the girls went out and had a good time tonight. And I think that they need to get out and do things. But I’m kind of worried. These little girls ain’t going to get into some major when this is all over with. Okay, so this is what we’re going to do.

You’re going to rinse the peppers for me. Before you start though, Keegan, I want you to help me do these dishes. Cook, Mama cook. The whole family’s going to cook together? One egg. Anika, would you like me to help you? Yes, you can help with the tomato. Please. You didn’t help me out with the dishes.

We have to work together as a team, right? You okay? Are you serious? You didn’t let me help with the dishes. We’re learning to work together.   I want you to help me tear the the peppers. Are you going to help me tear or you want him to come help you tear? Okay, we’re not going to have that attitude. I don’t do attitudes.

I really don’t do attitude. I don’t do attitude. Okay?       So, you’re going to help me? Thank you. It’s not a hard task. Hearing the word no is not something they’re used to. But they’re still at that impressionable age, so it’s still easy to train them and mold them if the parents   were doing a better job.

And that part of the problem is the mother’s fault. Those fish are ready. You’re the best Mama Cooker. Thank you, darling.   Let’s go eat. All right. Dear Lord, thank you for this   uh food and the hands that prepared it. I’m thankful for Miss Kimmi   being here. I’m thankful for the food. I’m thankful for everything.

I’m thankful   for everything. Amen. Amen. Thank you. Thank you, Miss Kimmi. You’re welcome. So, you got to eat your food first. I’m not finished. Sitting down and eating with the family and talking about the day is is a good idea. The kids can get rambunctious and and wild and Uh oh, my chair is soaked.

But I’ll turn the TV off and eat in the kitchen in the home if if Nikki would take the time to make a good meal for       me and the kids and Daddy, I love fish. Coming up.   Scott just dropped me off there and left. That pissed me off. I wasn’t happy about it at all.

Your children, I just feel like they’ve been brainwashed.   What? The swap is over and the wives are preparing to reunite with their loved ones. I feel like I’m making a difference, but nothing I have done here will mean anything if the parents don’t start setting   a better example for these kids. This is important. It’s about these children and their future. Oh, thank you so much.

Wow, this is lovely. I hope that the family got out of this experience   that you don’t have to be so strict. I’m going to speak my mind at the round table. It was so fun. Bye, Daddy. I’m excited to   see my husband. Not hearing his voice for a week. Oh my gosh. Hey, honey. Good to see you. I missed you.

How are you? Good. How are you? All right. Good to see you. Me? Yeah, mhm. Been well. It’s so nice. Where’d you learn that at while I was gone? What? Kissing a man in the mouth and hugging. This is my wife.   The wives and husbands meet each other for the first time to discuss their experiences before returning home.

When I come into your house,   I really can’t describe how I felt when your kids got down and bowed. Uh in our culture, it’s a sign of showing respect. It’s almost like if they don’t do it, they’re not well trained. Okay, so my first night at your house was a bit interesting. Anika, where do the pageants stand? The way I see   pageants is that it’s giving them false sense of security.

That’s not a bridge I wanted to cross with Nikki and Anika because I know how much they enjoy the pageants. She was giving interviews to rooms full of three judges at 5 years old. So, it teaches her how to speak at a very young age.   young for that. They’re not supposed to be doing fashion when they’re supposed to be in school.

Well, um in your house, Kimmi, your kids, they’re working on their businesses and stuff, but adding up what they bring in by the month, they’re making like 19 cent an hour. Takes time for these things to become profitable. So, you have to stay in business   for at least 2, 3, 5 years.

I think that children should be children until they need to worry about these adult problems.   A child needs to know the value of a dollar. So, they need to be conscious of the environment they live around. How can your children be conscious about their surroundings when they don’t know anything but your house? They do know anything about my house.

They go to school every day. They go to school, but they don’t have friends. It seems like all they know that life is about is work, work, work. I can’t force them to make friends if they don’t want to. So, I had to go to the rental property and Scott just dropped me off there and left. How’s that? That pissed me off.

I wasn’t happy about it at all. I believe we’re supposed to do it together.   Okay, well, that ain’t all. He don’t have time to talk to me. He’s either looking at his phone, looking at his TV. He took his dinner and went straight to the room.   Oh, yeah. You probably had more conversation with him in a week than I’ve had in 2 years.

And that’s why I made the rules. I had Scott help me in the kitchen with cooking with the children and also with the rental property. Because when I was asking him why he doesn’t really step in with the children, he said he doesn’t want to get into it with you. That’s why I cannot No. He doesn’t say much.

I have asked him because I want him to back me. He don’t back me cuz he don’t want to. It ain’t because he’s scared to or wh@tever it is he’s coming up with. That is hocus pocus. Spinning things now. We can spin it all day long. As far as minor rules in your house, Kimmi, your husband was not happy about the first one.

It was that the girls was to go out and have fun. They were not to be home until at   least 12:00.       Oh my gosh. They came in at 1:27 a.m. Oh my gosh. And it was important for me to not have a curfew for the girls because they are young adults. I was not happy with that. It’s not that we don’t want the girls to go out.

They can go out, but they have to come home when it’s getting dark. I just feel like they’ve been either brainwashed or      coached into this is the way that I’m supposed to be or I’m going to disappoint my parents and I don’t know that that’s fair. No. No. So, I took out Keegan’s game console. Ooh, I know he h@tes you.

He cried hysterically.   So, let’s me see how h00ked he is on this thing and you need to stop that because it’s not fair on him. You made him turn his TV off? Oh, heck yes. And I told him I said I don’t believe TV is supposed to be in the bedroom. I don’t either. I’m so glad you told him that.

Also, I’ve been telling him take that TV out of my bedroom. That TV needs to leave the room. That’s where the magic happens.   Right. TV is not supposed to be in your bedroom. Yes, girl. Magic happens in there? What kind of magic?      You don’t want me to give you my nose right here, do you? Girl, you got to give me your number and tell me about this.

I’m going to call you if you don’t get rid of that TV tonight.   She said game. I want to see some magic tonight. What? Oh, okay. You both have to be willing to work with each other. And that has to do with what I’m saying about the children though. They emulate what they see. So, they feel if it’s okay for Daddy to play games, Keegan is okay for Keegan to play games.

If it’s okay for Daddy to watch TV all night long, why does he need to go to sleep? You f1ght, they definitely will f1ght. You have to work as a team together. You as the head of the house, Nikki as a support. Thank you. I’d love to be support   Okay. cuz I’m doing it all right now. And you have to put your foot down and you have to   speak.

And wh@tever you say, she supports you. Make sense? Yeah, oh yeah.       But Nikki, it’s a pleasure. Thank you. Thank you. for taking care of my babies for those days. I feel like the whole week was interesting. I hope   they take some of my advice home with them. For us, we allowed the girls to go out more. Probably push them out to go out more.

I am sh0cked   Kimmi is able to get my husband to do things that I can’t get him to do. But I love seeing how their happy marriage   works. And what about this magic in the bedroom? That’s her word now. Yeah, well, I would like to know what she’s talking about.   know. When you cook, you might find out.

Mhm.
