Every Saturday morning I had to climb up into our concrete washtub with a block of blue soap and a rough rag ,to sit and wait on my grandmother's weekly rough scrub down, while all my other cousins looked on and laughed she loved me very much,i miss her may God bless and rest her soul🥰
I remember my Moma putting on my uniform for High School and taking me to the bus stop while it was still dark so I'd be on time. Looking back at 12 years I was so loved. My Mom's 80th Birthday is tomorrow and I'm so grateful to YHWH. We Celebrate All Moms.
After reading so man6 comments from so many different ethnic cultures has taught me that "WE ARE ALL HUMAN". Have alot of the same experiences and love the same way. Please stop letting the establishment separate us. WE ARE ONE with TMH....!! Stop saying different race. We have different backgrounds, ethnicities and culture but WE ARE ALL JUST HUMAN. 😊
I'm jamaican and I remember the days when mommy use to scrub off my skin and call it bathing, then oil me down in coco butter then kill me with baby powder 😂😂😂
No ashy o my gosh My Mom to this day still tells me that and it's literally like if I don't put on cream or if I don't put on vaseline I'll be Looking ashy and not good.😂😂
Philippine and African alike 😂😂😂 miss those days.. although boarding school nuns doesn’t give us that much of attention but when home so sure we get all the Attention ❤❤❤
I love this. My mother prepared me every morning until I was 7. I would just stand there with my hand up or out and say “ready, mommy.” She was very kind and loving ❤. Then, off to school.
One of my earliest memories is being scrubbed, dried up in a very fluffy towel and being carried to my bedroom giggling, flung over the shoulder like a sack(some days) slathered in 1000 layers of Vaseline and dressed up in a uniform I was supposedly going to grow into 😂😂
Faith in action. Big clothes for a child they prophesied will not die young by buying clothes they will grow into! In a continent where children had a high risk of expiring before 5 years. Sense! Thst is why we are here to comment 😊😊😊😊 God bless our parents.
The light burning sensation from the sponge after bathing and the powder😂😂😂😂 iconic. My Ghanaian parents always drowned my forehead in anointing oil so I always got to school with my head shining😂😂😂
They bathe you like dat morning and night… Also you could nevah go to school without a hot drink to break the gas on your stomach 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Both my parents have been promoted to Glory….. I will LOVE dem forever 🙏🏾❤🇯🇲❤🙏🏾
I used to remember expecially when she washes our face and then We say Mummy Pepe enter My Eye!😅😅😂😂😂, then we end up going late to school and end up being Flogged 10 Strokes of Cane!😅😅😂😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣Unfortunately this is true. I remember being scrubbed just like this. And Liberian mothers use African black soap. And once you hit puberty, they scrub your armpits with lime and baking soda so you don't develope body odour. It's an unforgettable experience. Thanks to all the caring mothers of the world
True ,most of these mothers will tend to scrub you right it the middle of the compound at the time they will have a chat with others in the compound. If you're lucky that day, they will use the outside bathroom or side of the house were drained down in the gutters🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. After they have spent all that of their energy on scrubbing and appear half the container of body oil or vaseline.then they will give you children your supper eat. If they see you going back to play in the dust 🤣🤣.that another story.
@@carolinehampton1408I know it might be difficult for you, but just TRY to conduct yourself as an ADULT. Your childish comments are making you look so silly. And no. I'm not reading replies

@JagBrit we are not all the “same people” I think you’re forgetting about the INDEGENIOUS West Africans. Many of us were not affected by the slave trade, some were willing participants in the trading and a lot of us kept our original languages, surnames and individual cultures. And even Anglophone West Africans are not the same as each other, we all come from different tribes (ethnicities). Also, anglophone and francophone West Africans have many things in common; including shared tribes, history, language, DNA and culture. The people that you are taking about are the freed slaves that returned to Sierra Leone (Salone) and Liberia. Those people have surnames like that. The rest of us Sierra Leoneans (Saloneans) do not. Just because we speak Krio doesn’t mean that we are Krio. It is merely a widely spoken language in Salone. However, the majority of us Sierra Leoneans ARE NOT Krio (creole) peoples. Krio was created for the sole purpose of trade, only. Also, the language Krio has many indegenious language words from various tribes and French words, mixed into it. We indigenous Sierra Leoneans (Saloneans) have our traditional surnames still in common use. Surnames like Koroma, Bangura, Jalloh, Sessay, Bendu, Mansaray, etc.. are indigenous to us; they were not “given to us” by a random white man. These indegenious surnames come from the Temne tribe, the Limba tribe, the Fulani (Fula) tribe, the Mende tribe, Sussu tribe, the Sherbro tribe, etc... none of them originated from the slave trade. None of them are “British West African”. Stop trying to relate everything with slavery; and please do not erase our (indigenous and traditional) cultures and languages just so you can relate with Afro-Caribbean’s, Afro-Latinas and Afro-Americans. We have more than 18 tribes and languages in Sierra Leone (Salone); Nigerians have more than 300 I think. I think there are more than 2000 or 3000 tribes in West Africa alone, talk less of Central Africa (with which we share close ties, history, and sometimes DNA with). Saying “we are all the same” is ignoring our unique differences, which should be appreciated and not erased and ignored, just so we can relate with others. It is upsetting. Before foreign colonial rule, there was indigenous rule. We had kingdoms, chiefdoms and empires. We didn’t come from slavery. Stop erasing our real history that is separate from “the white man” just so you can be relatable to other blacks. It is misleading. If they come to West Africa now with the idea that “we are all the same”, they will be extremely disappointed; because they’ll soon come to find out that we are a somewhat tribalistic group of people and we differentiate ourselves.
No get a life, you're disrupting his wife Your husband's mother gave YOU space, so let the cycle of life continue and give your daughter in law space too
I cried laughing😂..This short video took me to memory lane. I remember my mommy giving me a bath when I was a little girl. She used to use a small towel which she lathered it...And Lord have mercy!!! She used to scrub me like this mom scrubbed her son😂. When she used to dry me up...Here came the Johnson and Johnson powder. I remember that after that bath I felt so tired and sleepy. Then combing my hair was another adventure. But I could say something... I remember that my third grade teacher used to put a gold little star🌟 in the class hygiene chart next to my name😆. Today I am 60 years old and every morning when I take a shower..I imitate my beautiful mom(RIP) with the soap lather and scrub scrub here and there...And the Johnson and Johnson powder. I love my mother and miss her so much. But mommy knew best.
Yes and ON TOP OF THAT!!!!! IN THE WINTER TIME SHE APPLY SOOOO MUCH VASELINE I WAS JUST SHINEY…..GRAND-MAs HANDS!…….BLESS HER. AND ALL THE BEAUTIFUL GRAND MAS,………
My grandma was from mexico,and she also took us a bath,I use to think 'what did I do to make her angry..it wasnt that..she just wanted me to be super clean,I still recall my scalp being sore after she washed my hair..much respect to the people of Africa, you have brought many creative things to my world..and I thank you for that.. namaste
Reading of all these experiences from brothers and sisters around the globe warms my heart. There's so many things that bind us.. when they were done with my own I used to look so shiny. Happy and funny memories 💕🙏🏾 😂
My dad braided my hair so tight I could shape my braid into a heart, a circle, pinn wheels. The braids last forever 😂 If he braided hair for pay he would've stayed booked up... He was Scottish and Greek, my mom was Black and Indian.. 🤯
A Jamaican here, I definately can relate to this. My Grandmother use to scrub our skin so hard it burns and then we would be so shine from Vaseline and that big white puff of powder covering our chest and necks 😆🤣😂
Talcum powder was my mother’s cure for everything. Skin rash, blemishes, acne, and more. When I was 12, I almost died from powder inhalation. For years my mom said that I had bad asthma but it turned out that she was just using too much powder. 20 years later and I’m no longer using powder myself… however from the amount used when I was younger, i can still sneeze and a cloud of powder dust gushes out of my nose. I’ve lost 2 jobs from employers accusing me of using cocaine while at work.
better be calm if you don’t want your head bashed or worse still a slap ! all these prepared us for today . are your kids being prepared for tomorrow ? of course with minor changes .
The “child’s” resignation to being manhandling by his mother is brilliantly acted … even the too big clothes tightly secured with a belt 😂 I like how proud she is at the end of his talcuming
I'm a new Igbo Wife from American ... The way my husband scrubs everything 99 times & powders his face after this MUST be the standard. I dey see am now well well ooooo🤣🤣🤣
😂this is so relatable. I had the opportunity to take care of my younger brother till he turned 9 years, I scrub his skin till he is sparkling, put on his uniform, I never forget to apply our native palm kernel oil (ude-aki)on him and ohh the talcum powder i never forget.😂 He literally has powder all over his face it serves as his perfume 😅brush his hair and then I take him to school.. Funny enough when they come home from school you will hardly recognize them looking totally different😂
I had an African nurse in the hospital name fausta she gave me the best bath I ever had❤😂 I started out pink and when she was done I was magenta respective fausta😊
God bless every mothers ❤ on earth 🌎 Motherly love is priceless ❤ May our mother live longer 🙏 And to those mother who have left the world behind MAY THEIR PERFECT SOULS REST IN PERFECT PEACE 🥺 ✌ I LOVE YOU MOM 💜
I remember how Mama will lavish the mixture of Lotion and coconut oil all over our body, to the point our forehead will be shining like the mirror. I applaud you all, Mothers worldwide.
😂😂😂😂😂omg That is me preparing my daughter for school..😂😂❤❤..I would even go back to school to make sure she's got enough to eat😅.. My daughter like: Aw Mama👀👀👀... can you please braid my hair before school..ok let's go and rock this in 10 mins bb ..she be sittin there regretting to have ask because her hair is just full of knots and I have to pull...Auaaa❤
Why is this so accurate.. I was just telling my American friend my mom bath all of us, Till you prove to her you can shower well and brush your teeth like a pro.. other wise if she has to shower you till your 10 so be it she is the one who gave birth to us . Here they call it weird. No wonder why some yall stink
Oh my gosh, the scrubbing and dumping of powder all over is hilarious, then he decided to make comfortable adjustments right there and had it repeated. absolutely funny.
Originally from Somalia I grew up in Uganda and I went to school there for decade. I remember seeing my neighbors kids get showered outside by their parents and they always used that brush. That brush is basically a polypropylene plastic from sugar and rice sacks. That thing would skin you alive I don’t know how they used that. But I can relate to this video as also shoved me around in the morning haha
My mum scrubbed us till we were transparent 😂
😂😂😂

Instead of talcum powder on the face, it was Vaseline. You'd be going to school looking like there's an oil refinery behind your house 😂

The “child’s” resignation to being manhandling by his mother is brilliantly acted … even the too big clothes tightly secured with a belt 😂 I like how proud she is at the end of his talcuming
The clothes are bought 2 sizes too big suh he 'grow' into them!🤣🤣🤣💚

You forgot the shiny vasaline face 😂😂😂 Nigerian with vasaline and talc powder is something that needs to studied
lol this will be the only way I’ll get my ‘think he’s grown” child to school on time Mon! ❤NYC Thanks! 😂🤣
I am from the *Philippines* 🇵🇭but this video is freaking so funny and relatable 🤣 Talcum powder is life, lifer, lifest 🤣🤣🤣
True
@ATHENA 333THE GODDESS OF PROTECTION 😂😂👋🏻
Your right 🥰😍
I didn’t get why do you powder??
@@maksatkondo5621 to avoid the thing that appears in your body
I'm CRYIIIIING🤣🤣🤣 oh, you wanna wipe off the first application? Here's the rest of the bottle. 🤣🤣
Yeah
Yo Momma really did a lot for us
So did Papa😂
😂this is so relatable. I had the opportunity to take care of my younger brother till he turned 9 years, I scrub his skin till he is sparkling, put on his uniform, I never forget to apply our native palm kernel oil (ude-aki)on him and ohh the talcum powder i never forget.😂 He literally has powder all over his face it serves as his perfume 😅brush his hair and then I take him to school.. Funny enough when they come home from school you will hardly recognize them looking totally different😂
Relatable. My family used to put lots of vaseline on my face. Shiny face 😁
Same
Ikr, like your face will be shining bright like the sun 😂
is more than shining my dear it's blinking....
If your case is vaseline then you should of been in a cold environment. Thats how they got me beat the cold.
In Nigeria we call it shine shine 😂😮
I had an African nurse in the hospital name fausta she gave me the best bath I ever had❤😂 I started out pink and when she was done I was magenta respective fausta😊
😂😂😂😂
That's how we bath in Africa, we scrub, rinse, moisturise ,powder.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
My mom would slather us in lotion every time she bathed us. She didn't want us to look ashy. I'm over 50 and still slather myself lotion every day.
I love how the moms like come back here, and you think she’s gonna take it off, but she just puts more on
God bless every mothers ❤ on earth 🌎
Motherly love is priceless ❤
May our mother live longer 🙏
And to those mother who have left the world behind MAY THEIR PERFECT SOULS REST IN PERFECT PEACE 🥺 ✌

Why is this so accurate.. I was just telling my American friend my mom bath all of us, Till you prove to her you can shower well and brush your teeth like a pro.. other wise if she has to shower you till your 10 so be it she is the one who gave birth to us . Here they call it weird. No wonder why some yall stink
I feel you
My mom showered until 11years and I stoped her myself cause i was feeling too old I was starting high school at the time so dear I feel you
@@sumaiapearl7292 my Mum shower me till I clock 13years oo you know last born things now 😂😂😂
@@holloryishola8352 wahala 😂😂😂 I didn't wanted it but had know choice lol 😂😂😂
You said it all Sista,that is the truth
Oh my gosh, the scrubbing and dumping of powder all over is hilarious, then he decided to make comfortable adjustments right there and had it repeated. absolutely funny.
Originally from Somalia I grew up in Uganda and I went to school there for decade. I remember seeing my neighbors kids get showered outside by their parents and they always used that brush. That brush is basically a polypropylene plastic from sugar and rice sacks. That thing would skin you alive I don’t know how they used that. But I can relate to this video as also shoved me around in the morning haha
