Thank you for this. I’m on the opposite end of the common spectrum. He had me in court for years trying to posses his trophy at the expense of the kids. They’re teens now but it’s been a long journey. I know my oldest wishes we could just enjoy everything together but that would mean losing so much more than a mile, with him. Because of what you shared, I can do better though-in appreciating her experience😳. I’ll try 😁❤️
Brother stop simping for the subscribers it’s cringy. We must hold women accountable. It’s very noble for you to take all the blame. But that type of burden will catch up to sooner or later
I used to work in the office at an elementary school, and I remember once I was calling for a pickup for a sick student. I tried his mother multiple times, she wasn't answering, so I told him that I was going to call his father. I kid you not, the color drained from his face and he asked me not to. I asked why, and he told me that it was his mother's week and that if I called his dad and his dad picked him up they'd scream at each other. My heart broke for the student, and it reminded me why I continue to wait until marriage for children.
I hear you, though marriage is no guarantee life will end up any differently. I waited until I was married to have kids. I was married for 12 years, had two kids, and it ended spectacularly badly. It’s been almost seven years now, and I still feel terrible for how my kids suffered during the divorce and aftermath. They are extremely well-adjusted now, fortunately. Life is hard no matter our best-laid plans 🧡
I had a daughter at 18 not knowing the consequences worst day of my life was explaining to my daughter why I couldn’t give her the one thing she wanted more than anything both of her parents together. It will humble you like nothing else can
Going through it with my 4 year old son right now. His dad has been in and out his whole life and it's been 2 months since he has seen him last this time around. It's so hard.
It’s not sex but promiscuity! No one want to protect themselves and wear comdom! Then kids pay the price of their reckless parents’s mind! People need to wake up and start to wear protection! Specially in our community
@@beatricedevarenne2621 nah sex in general, to much soul ties and energies being transferred. Don’t matter about protection. Protection don’t guarantee anything but celibacy do!
@BrownGolden Girl I agree with you but that is only half of the equation. Black boys also need to be socialized to be responsible and accountable. They need to be taught to respect themselves, women and girls and not to buy into the toxic male belief that being a man is about sleeping with as many women as you can. As a community we put so much pressure and accountability on females but little to none on the males. This will create good women but No decent men, it's like building half a house. 💯
@BrownGolden Girl Very true, it starts at home. We can’t avoid mistakes we make at a young age if we aren’t educated properly and don’t know. But keep in mind men can be great actors to get what they want and that includes sex, kids, and marriage. The best way I’ve seen it play out is just staying protected for a few years, even in a marriage. Marriage doesn’t prevent a split home because people constantly change and you may think you know a person well, but you really don’t.
Boys are never taught this lesson. I've been taught to 'protect my womb' from birth and to never become a baby mama. Dating in a pool of men who were taught the opposite is exhausting. Little black boys need to be taught to protect their fertilizer, and not create children in different homes. I dated endless dudes with multiple kids, I never slept with any man who had kids outside of marriage or in multiple homes. Needless to say I was always disappointed. Until I met my hispanic husband, I never dated a man who values family and need to have a two parent household and that is sad. Women have been told to protect their wombs and are still tricked into babymama-hood by deceivers and liars. I think we need to teach little black children to value the creation of life and the need for it to happen in a healthy two parent atmosphere. Not just the girls...
Yes. I wasnt taught this surprisingly. Especially with me having a mother who had her children from her husband. I was fancy and free with my womb since age 15. But my girls were taught better by Me. I have 5 children and absolutely NO grandchildren.
As a teacher, I have seen the emotional damage this causes to kids. They think the absent parent does not love them anymore because he or she has another children to attend to. This sparks a lot of hurt, rivalry, hate and low self-esteem
It's like a family member um around you had a baby by men you aren't with and looking at family like the supposed to take of them well you still reckless um sorry there yours
Unfortunately "picking better" for men and women to often means settling for less. Less Money, less ambition, less attraction. It seems like too many men and women have to settle for less than relationships, for a black community full of families to be realistic
Think about how the parents acrimonious relationship is being modeled to the children on this is how relationships work. Most people are not healthy. It's hard when the culture amongst men is that to have credibility, they have to have had sex. Thank you for sharing. My kid's dad got them 3 weeks a year (it was all he wanted). I had to deal with a lot of emotional fallout when he dropped them off. Not the oldest child, the youngest...
There are great Black fathers. In my generation all my friends and neighbors had fathers in the home. It wasn’t until it became “normal “ to be teenage mothers and fathers. THAT is the problem.
Honey other groups have absent fathers trust me I know because I do social work with all types of people. I’m fourth generation in my family and we ALL knew our dads and grew up in wedlock as a black person Black fathers exists
I'm 34 with no kids. Everytime somebody asks me why I don't have any I always say that just because a woman can get pregnant doesn't mean she's ready to be or can be a mother/wife/partner etc...
It's mostly you are not ready for kids. I've been Married almost 20 years, and I'm 39. We started having kids our first year married. At this point you are going to be a old man dad when your kids are getting out of high school. That is if you started now. By the time you understand what Love is and how to treat a woman it's going to be to late for you, I fear. Women need guidance, and they are always a mess at first, just like we all are, --- thus Love requiring a lot of sacrifice. No woman or man is ever ready to have kids or be in a loving relationship. Learning how to Love is a hard road that most will never walk or they will fall off the path due to hard times. Love demands courage, strength, gentleness, humbleness, No-ego and self-control. Most men never learn these skills. And yes they are skills you need to work on. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love is not a feeling. It's something you wake up and do every morning.
@@mizzchoc10 more so women keeping and doing everything in their power to keep men away from their kids. There are more men willing to be father, rather than 30 years ago. All my guy friends are in their kids lives and love them. It's the bby mom causing hell.
@@WilliamEllison There are women out here getting an abortion despite if the man does not want it to happen. And there's nothing like someone else killing a part of you and throwing it away like trash.
Exactly!!. It's a norm to have child mother's but not to have a wife. It's so mess up. People sexing around and they don't even know the person . Then there's possible of pregnancy .
Young Brother THIS is what needs to go VIRAL!!!! I’ve been there done that! I’ve been teaching my boys this since they where 10 and 11 because it starts when you’re very young. You over hear male family members and friends glorify being a player,Mac and a pimp and your mind begins to form the WRONG impression of relationships with women and you become vulnerable to the traps that have been set for you to fall into this lifestyle. Every single mother who has a son and every father who wants to lead his sons and daughters in the right way, YOUR CHILD NEEDS to hear this MESSAGE!!👊🏾💪🏾💪🏾Thanks Bro 4REAL!!!!
My husband told me once that he wished he never had sex before he was married. I was so surprised to hear that because I never thought men even thought that way.
I want men and women reading this to check out Tony Gaskins and Breeny Lee. Only ones I'm seeing exposing the real motivations behind the behaviours we witness among us as well as the long term impacts. May we all gain more wisdom and understanding!
God intended for his children not to have sexual relations before marriage! Sex is sacred it's used to create a bond between two people in 💕 love! Society has cheapend love, and made it so it wasn't special anymore, and people in society, our young people are being CHEATED of real 💕 LOVE! IT'S why society and children are suffering! Good for your husband, realizing God's way is best! 🙏🏾🙏🏼🙏🏻👍💜
Exactly, it's always "someone's fault"...smh If you break a glass, you were holding. Take responsibility. Spend over your monthly financial budget. Take responsibility. Driving a car, and you get into a accident without anyone else involved. Take responsibilty, Everything isn't about walking away and avoiding fault or responsibility. Too much blaming going around
@@rose-annwoodsley1252 Liam just said yeah but...so everything before that he discounted. I always say do what you know what you supposed to do. the people who ain't acting right going to get their karma.
@@kai8865 👍yep. Everyone needs to be accountable. And not get defensive and point fingers. Two people laid down together. Two people should be taking responsibility. I see many mothers that don't and many fathers that make excuses and join groups like mgtow. I understood the premise of this group and even supported the main tenants but it quickly devolved into what feminism is today, only that these men seem bitter towards their bm. Now we have this weird dynamic of blaming the other gender.
When you get to your late twenties it seems like most black men have atleast one child by someone, It’s strange that we are such a religious community but so over sexual
I explored this aspect and it has a lot to do with the passed on trauma from slavery times. The stunted development of our Blk men is also a consequence of pased down trauma. Look up epigenetics.
@Precious Erving-Frimpong As you are Ghanaian, you may not fully understand what your fellow Carribbean and AA brothers and sistahs have suffered through trauma.
@Morgan Taylor it is a good starting point. To understand your present, you have got to understand the past. What savagely happened to us has shaped who we are today.
Easy girl probably means someone who will have sex without a commitment and or soon after meeting the man, and perhaps without protection. Date someone in person for at least three months before having sex, and only in a long term, loving, monogamous relationship. If they won't wait for that, they aren't the one.
I am a 72 year old black woman , and I have been around the block, but I have never had any man confess about the reality regarding sex, pregnant, children in the most honest, respectful way of telling the truth so help me God. I am so proud of you, for putting this out for hopefully other people, to just understand what you are saying, and follow you for the good of man kind. This is what I pray. anyway. Continue to love and Bless your children.God Bless your journey love.☺️❤️🙏🏾
My dad told me what his father told him. "Never sleep with a woman u gon regret...so that incase a mistake happens you can at least have some peace of mind". took that shit to heart since.
Those are real men right there! I am a 19 girl and what my grandmothers and mother told me “ be careful who you open your legs for because you never know what will happen it may either be a lifetime of happiness or a lifetime of pain” We have to let the next generation know that sex isn’t the answer to everything.
@@HebrewHammer1337 naa, thats not it. Sex is not the only thing to do in order to have "fun". You saying to pull out from these "hos with no babies" is the type of thought process that leads people into a life long problematic situation just like what the man was talking in the video.
God bless you son. Become the best Father you can be to your children But...Also don't Forget to love and respect the Mother's of your children! You are a GREAT Influence to how your children will see you . They are also the product of their Mother's. If you don't show love to the mother's Your children will see this and not respect you because your are hurting the other half of them.
I worked in a men's prison where the population is mostly black men...I challenged their promiscuity thinking so much as well as breaking the single parent household statistics...some argued with me and blamed the baby mammas, but I challenged them and sometimes feared for my life as I walked out to go home for the day...I had several of them (wish it was the majority) tell me privately that I inspired them to break the generational curse of single parenting/absent fathers.....I am not black, but I grew up without a father..I don't even know who he is...the damaged it has caused me the emptiness I've always felt are motivators to continue talking to men who care less for their children and only focus on having a good time
My ex thought I was crying because he was dating another woman behind my back but I was crying because I know the feeling of not having my dad living At home. Now my kids have to know that feeling. 😪😥. I cried for my kids.
I’m 24 and I appreciate the message brother. I was one of those kids caught in the crossfire I have a counselor to help with the trauma so I don’t repeat that cycle I promised myself growing up I wouldn’t allow my future kids to know the life I went through; I plan to find someone with same values and in my religion get married and then have kids.
It’s great! Plus, it seems like there is a phrase repeated over and over that women must “choose better”. No. Both women and men need to choose better. Both women and men need to exercise more self control. We all have room to learn, grow, and evolve.
I’ve been sharing 50/50 custody with my ex for six years now. It sucks. It’s heartbreaking the emotional havoc torn-apart families cause. I waited until marriage to have kids, and after 12 years my marriage ended very badly. Married, not married, being apart from your kids is a special hell, for them, and for you.
I’m going through all of this now. In the beginning stages of divorce. He’s already brought the children around another woman. And we’re just together 1.5 ago. Now my young children have another woman around. I sometimes regret ever getting married or having children with him. I wanted a solid family unit. Smh
@@lelo46 omg thats most women’s nightmare. is there any legal way to not have other partners around your child? I dont have kids yet but just curious if there‘s such a thing in general
@@realtruth3762 Not in most states unless both parties agree to this for each other during visitation and it’s written into the custody agreement, or for the previously married couples, in the divorce decree, and signed by a judge. It’s not mandatory and judges won’t agree on it unless both parents want this or there is abuse or drugs involved, which will cause a loss of custody in general. When visitation occurs, the parent granted that time decides whoever, whenever they want around the children. Judges understand and promote both parties moving on but they don’t understand or get involved with how long they’ve known the person or if you have a reason not to trust the judgement of who the other parent has around the child. It usually comes off as jealousy, even when it’s not if you have good reasoning. So as @lelo46 said, it makes you regret things all together. And the only thing you can do is learn from it, but it’s honestly too late when you’re already in it.... But I’m glad Shumake made this video to hopefully educate others.
Same. Was a virgin when I married at 27. We divorced after 13 years and I am heartbroken for my kids being caught between 2 parents. My ex will not co-parent nicely.
My generation had a serious teen parent problem, so my dad was very strict about sex, protection and pregnancy. He made sure to drill it into my head to be safe and only have relations with men that I could marry. I'm 33 years old with no children (on purpose) and very little relationship drama.
@Lo Livingston Hi Lo thank you for your comment and you’re right a lot of men aren’t waiting however I personally know many who, are some even male virgins or celibate for years or was celibate and are now married.DeVon Franklin and Russell Wilson are examples of men who actually encouraged their now wives to wait with them and in my book, ‘How to Date and Stay Saved’, I feature 12 couples who were abstinent with each other, in spite of their sexual pasts, and are now happily married with families so it is possibles and the right person will wait with you it’s all a matter of perspective and believing in the possibility and not basing it on the majority.
Brutha, 1. I admire you for putting yourself out there on display! 2. It’s good to see brothers, taking accountability and action for being a great dad!
Much respect for this video. I've been married to the right woman for 16 years, and we have two kids. And people always tell us we are unicorns In the black community. So sad.
It definitely is. Hopefully people will see more videos like this and see the light. By the way I’m about to get married soon and I I like to ask men like you this question... What is the best piece of advice you can give a soon to be newly wed?
@@TheShumakeWay You already on the right track from what I see. For my wife and I it was all about building that strong foundation. God first, follow by us. We keep making that foundation stronger every day because the storms of life will always come to knock your marriage over. By the grace of God we made it through the storms and have become even stronger from them. May God bless you and your fiancé and your marriage.
15:04 "Nobody never told me aye, the psychological aspect of having children outta wedlock and having children with somebody that's not right for you!" Thank you for posting this. I remember the pain of split homes when I was a teen and that hurt.
Yep. That's always been a major fear of mine. In my teens and early 20s a whole lot of dudes I knew growing up snickered and laughed at me for taking this position. Now I look at them all complaining about having to deal with child support. family court, custody battles, and resentful children. Now I'm the one laughing.
💯👏🏿 so true! heck I've known ppl who didn't rush. took their time to get married. took their time to have children only to divorce. sadly nothing is guaranteed 😔
What a great video. Grandparents suffer too. The mother of my son's child refuses to let me have contact with the child. Everyone suffers. All because a few minutes of pleasure.
I'm right there with you. I'm not even allowed in my sons house now nor his dad because of her. Neither have done anything except not be her parents. She screams at my son and his other two kids constantly. I wish he would throw her out.
Yes I hear you all, I have two grandsons , these parents are always busy , but you can’t take it out on 2 precious boys , because he married a bitch , and to top it off , nobody did nothing to her , wrong wrong wrong 😑
That's why I say its better not to give people grandkids. Because if you try to keep your abusive spouse away from your kids the grandparents will just guilt trip you. Can't wait to get my tubes tied so I won't ever hear a old person guilt trip me about grandkids
Amen brother! If you're not having sex then people think something is wrong with you or not normal. We all need to go back to the way dating is supposed to be. Conversation, spend time doing things together, and set good intentions on where it is going. Too many people giving advice on dating but not many people talking about the real issues. Thanks!
That’s a fact. My ex BFF literally joined online dating sites and met up and will literally have sex with them after the second date. And she’d have them in rotation. I abstain and there’s something wrong with me!!!!! 😑And she falls so easy. Creating soul ties and bitch to me about it. Why complain to me if there’s something wrong with me?? !!🧐🧐🤷🏾♀️. I stopped talking to her. She drained me.
@@lisanidog8178 Of course that is true Lisa. That should go without saying. Sadly in recent decades there has been a push to diminish the importance of the father's role. I only meant to emphasize, in the context of this video, the traditional obvious truth that daddies are indeed so important for a child's healthy growth.
@@spamman6369 they are contributors. There were times I had no choice but to go to dad because mom was insufferable at times. And yes he could be just as nurturing if not more so. But moms take on most of the burdens and aren't recognized. Dads are contributors. And a single mom for instance can be capable of being both parents since there are so many dead beat dads.
@@lisanidog8178 what about the dead beat moms? You will never understand the pain of being a hard working man, that will and do sacrifice any and everything for his lady and children only to be told you have to leave the home because she chose to no longer work and rely on the system. Then that very system see that you make good money so they attach child support on the sole provider to the point where it comes to pay your rent or mortgage or child support, which transfers to pay child support or be homeless. So many men fall into this category, if I choose to pay child support I'm gna be homeless which leads to being jobless because no matter how anyone look at it you can't be homeless and hold a good job. So you choose your own health and survival and get labeled a dead beat. So many men sell drugs and do dumb shit because of a woman they loved made choices that put their back against a wall
When children have to go back and forth it can be difficult. Children want a mom and dad because it’s natural. They want their family living under one roof.
This is true, I respect men that have children, but at the same time I refuse to be with a man that has kids with multiple women, really not even one child. I had a man curse me out, then say I was judging him based off his past. People hate for you to call them on their mess, but I judged him off of current events. But these people don’t care if you are right for them or not, they just want who they want, but end up suffering the consequences later.
a lot of them will just lie to you and tell you that they don't have any kids. You end of finding out later. Those same guys that feel like you are judging them, will be the same ones on the woman hating youtube channels talking about how single moms are trash. There are thousands of guys on those channels, saying single moms are trash and don't date them but these guys don't have any children and havent made any single parent families?.. hypocrites. Also, that same guy will get you pregnant and you will be the next single mom. He has already shown you that he will walk away. Smart woman. I am teaching my daughter too. Keep her legs closed until marriage.
That's why praying for discernement while dating someone and not getting intimate fast is a must!! God reveals red flags and can even send people with receipts about the people we're dealing with before jumping to a messy situation🙅 God asked us to guard our heart for a reason💜
@@oursimpleandnaturalkindofl7301 marriage is no guarantee either. the way how things are now, people get married for unholy and unhealthy reasons, ego trip, peer pressure, religious pressure, financial stability, lust, fear of being alone. I married for healthy reasons love and building a Christian life together but I didn't know what subtle signs to look for. My husband told me he was ready and ready specifically to marry me specifically and I believed him. Not a soul told me not to marry him. Effectively he was very good at hiding all of his unhealthy thoughts and behaviours and the Church loved him! But something in my spirit said not to have children with him. He got arrested for assaulting me and I left him. I know many single mothers who were married and had to get a divorce due to abuse or were divorced because their husband wanted a younger thinner woman. There are also those who married but their husband died but they get tarred with the same brush.
@@marleyhill34 I agree. These days marriage doesn't guarantee a person won't be hurt or abused or left but i am trying to lower the chance of running into this trash because they don't want to be married anyway.
Hope this goes viral. 🔥🔥The psychological damage to the kids alone is the reason why I stand by what he’s saying. Being the kid of this very situation SUCKS. I love the fact that he’s owning his mistakes. I didn’t expect my dad to be perfect but at least admitting he was wrong would’ve been enough for me. Imagine what would happen to the childs esteem if he didn’t?!?! Or worse, if he started blaming the child for their mistakes. It’s happened to me and many others. Keep speaking out bro ✊🏼💯
Imagine what people like that would do to get it if no one wants to do it with them. Not saying all of them but at least the thought would cross 99% of their minds
@Nicholas H you’re very smart. I don’t know what the hell that woman is talking about. Sex is part of love, she might wanna look up the four parts if love. Eros is the sex part.
@@ARS-fn6px Nicholas does have a point, you don’t sleep with your husband and he will cheat. Period. Try messing with reality and see who loses. A man can love you and still cheat on you. What is love to you?
I enjoyed watching this video, I was very impressed with his message and this is for both men and women. Sex is not love, and making a baby is more than cuteness, it's a financial, emotional and psychological responsibility and so many children suffer in the long run because the conception was from lust not love. Good message!!
So I'm african and in most african cultures women are taught to take pride in their virginity and to look for a man who is educated or financially stable. And men are taught to look for a woman who has this kind of values and is submissive and obedient. But I think it's sad that most of the time they don't teach you about picking a partner or their intellect, emotional maturity, spiritual, mental, psychological compatibility. I grew up in a household that was very toxic. Even though my parents are still married to this day, they don't love each other. They're still together for the sacred promise they made and also I think it's because of the shame that comes with divorce. But I honestly believe they're not right for each other. They would fight all the time, I was emotionally neglected. It's something I've just discovered effects even today. My point in all this is don't just look for a partner who looks good on paper. Maybe they might be financially stable and have no kids but really get to know them. Their background, how they interact with others (especially people like waiters etc.) Their mental and emotional maturity. Make sure you love them and they love you. And most importantly their family and what kind of relationship they have with their family!!! If you have to convince yourself that you'll end up loving them anyway. They have money and security it's fine. Don't do it!!!! There's more to compatibility and love than this.
It's the same for women who don't protect themselves and wind up with children not wanted or cared for by their fathers girls and boys need their fathers.
I really appreciate this message. I’m a young black women and gave myself up to someone I didn’t plan on being with and it really messed me up In so many ways. Thank God I didn’t get pregnant!!! Made a promise to myself to never do it again until after marriage.
I grew up in the 70s. Born to an almost 18 year old child. She kept me, but she shut my dad out. Not having a daddy affected me in ways I don't want to describe and I did things I'll be ashamed of for the rest of my life. I did meet him later and had a semi-relationship with him until he passed a few years ago. From him I have two half sisters, both whom I adore. I love my mother so much and am super close with her (we basically grew up together!), but, oh, what I would have given to have a daddy like you. You, sir, are a good man.
It's painful hearing your child not wanting you to leave. My ex wife and I got divorced and she got full custody. I barely get to see my son but he is always super happy to see me but cries so hard when I have to leave. It makes me want to cry seeing my child cry wanting me to stay.
I pray for your son, and pray your wife doesn’t ruin him. Every boy needs his father, especially for guidance and personal development. When a boy is raised by is mother, it creates insecurities. I hope you and your son can reunite, at some point in time, he will call the shots to be with you. I believe here in the states, it’s the age of 12. If he’s at that age, have a sit down with him, get an attorney involved, and cordinate with your son to tell the judge that he wants to live with you. I hope that bitch ex of yours doesn’t put shit or fear in his head. Good luck bro.
I am a woman andI hate when women behave as such! When women decide to be selfish even the word “selfish” get in trouble. Just keep having hope, your child will make her change her mind when he turns a teen and her job becomes tougher. I always say that children are closer to their mom from birth to teen because that is the stage of nurturing: the child learns from the home and family life and learns to socialise from there.They need their father more from teen and up because they learn to face society and experience more of what they learned from home (where the mother teaches llove through her own virtue.) They need their fathers (both girls and boys) to guide and protect them from life in the word. The false teachings has messed up the family system reason why we are all in constant misunderstanding. All these so called “happy" people on social media are not necessarily role models. A woman who is distroyed inside from lack of love is very dangerous. In the other end, a woman who truly loves herself and knows true love knows how to take the best decisions about her life and her loved ones. In the other end, some men can be distructive to women because they also did not recieve the right love from their mother. In order to be able to share love to her offsprings, she needs to have it because we cannot give something we don’t have. Men give your women love so she can give it back. That is why men give the seed and women helps grow the seed to become the fruit. Brother use this time to focus on yourself and forgive before changes can happen. Love is the most difficult one to give but it is the most miraculous healer. Happy mother’s day to women because at the end of the day, there is a reason why she is the chosen one to bear life. Good luck!

We live in a hyper sexual society . Everyday we’re bombarded with messages promoting lust and promiscuity. It’s tough to resist the urges . Self control is key. We can cultivate this within ourselves. Not just because the media promotes a certain lifestyle we have to follow. Get to know people beyond what they look like, find out their financial history , their sexual history. This culture of hook ups is not the way. It actually interferes with our ability to pair bond and have healthy relationships.
Sadly, it's true, people follow the media like sheep these days. Hook ups are considered normal these days, when you say you don't want to , you are considered frigged. It's great that the comments are all agreeing on the fact that we need to stop sexualising relationships to a point it's just a physical thing and nothing else. God, that is one thing that sperates us from animals 😐
Right the other day the tree man just tried to kiss me and I pushed him off me like what the fk? You just go around trying to kiss people I don't need or talk to you beyond trees bro...I just don't know why so many people want to just jump right into sechs it's just weird to me
I agree with everything you said apart from the ‘pair bonding’ part not everyone is spiritual or processes things that way and it’s a highly unscientific approach that encourages harmful behaviours (long term) in the name of ‘self-preservation’
AMEN AMEN that exactly why I decided to become celibate. I was raped on my first time ..second time I was being lied to just for them to have sex with me..thirst and last time was my „ex“ who hid his pregnant wife from me that he had been living with which is also the mother of his first son..I got pregnant during that relationship but refused to keep it..cause I knew he couldn’t/wouldn’t take care of us.. I‘m still feeling so guilty and ashamed..and that when I finally understood what God has always been trying to protect us from. „Rape, unwanted pregnancy, STD‘s, having to use plan B, and so on .... Its just so unnecessary we go through all this just for temporary pleasure rather than wait till we mature enough to make wise decisions on who to let touch our sacred body and have kids with...
True until the part that you talk about rape. Rape is not your fault. It's the lack of respect that the individual has for you and your body. Don't even think that you allowed that behavior bc clearly you had a boundary and they crossed it. Thats not your fault. I pray that you can find forgiveness and grace for yourself so that you can heal completely.💕
And it's hard finding the right person. Being decieved and munipulated happens to alot of people before they find the right one and thats of they ever do. Sometimes our heart is deceptive to us too bc we want to help and love that person who does us wrong. Only discernment and prayer will lead you to the right one.
I am celibate because of what my mother went through chasing love and having violate men in the house that abuse us and abuse her. It scar me to the point I never want to go through that. It is horrible and I will never want any child to witness the horrific terror of my decision
I was also raped my 1st time and ended up with a manipulator pervers months later ou was hard to deal with but it's possible to overcome with counseling and prayers
I grew up without my dad, only seen him twice in my life. I went through alot and I always felt alone and stressed out due to life bills and my mom being a single mother. No one to talk or understand me to guide me in the right direction. I always wonder what my life would of been like if I had a dad. Luckily I believe and pray to God. God helps me understand life situations. But what you say here is very real and I appreciate it alot.
Old white lady in Ohio here - not sure how this got in my feed but the title got my attention. This is one of the best videos I’ve seen. This should win some kind of serious award & be played in all public schools and not just shown to kids but to everyone, everywhere for many reasons. This really gets across because it’s so real. Thank you.
I'm an educator and see the impact on children with all the trauma and drama that going "flesh wild " can result in...hurt kids! Bless you for speaking on this and I know your baby girl will be fine 🙏🏽
Ladies and gentlemen, this is a wise man. There's a reason why God's word says not to do certain things, because He knows pain and suffering will be the result. But we live in a society that glorifies and promotes sin. Lord have mercy. My heart goes out to this dude, I went through the same thing. God bless 🙏
I like your comment and you are correct about the bible it's our instruction for life. If we learn some knowledge and seek some understanding then perhaps we can apply some wisdom to our lives, then just maybe we can live a purpose driven life.
I see why my son doesn't want children now. He's 20 and has already made up his mind on it. I see too many marriages failing, mother's and fathers having babies and one leaves, or your situation. I won't ask again about future grandchildren.
He cannot handle children psychologically. My sister is the same. I'm in therapy and hope to go to parenting courses to raise a child with good psychological health. My psychological health was completely ignored by my parents.
@@marleyhill34 Children just aren’t for everyone. Not everyone is meant to be a parent just like not everyone is meant to get married, own a house, etc...
Thats a healthy perspective at 20. By the time he's 30-35 he'll wake up and realize he's worked hard and become master of his universe. Then he'll want to share that. Keep him focused!!
Single parenthood =POVERTY Having 2 separate households means double the bills instead of one. For example separate households The bills of the other household Rent =$700 Util=$100 Cable +phone $100 So in om1year Loss of $10,800. In 18 years there is a loss of $129,600. Single parenthood households LOSE OUT ON on minimum of $129000. Thus is just the minimum many could be losing out on as much as $200000-400000. This is money that could be used for wealth building. And this is why black people stay impoverished.
Say the truth. This is the dynamic in America. These are Liberal/Democrat policies for black people. They told black folks, “if you don’t marry the father of your child, we will take care of you and your children..” Absence of father figure in the home is really killing our families. It’s worse than Racism.
It’s so great to hear your honesty. It was another guy who stated how he wished he did things differently as well he had 3 kids by 3 different women. He stated how his son wanted him to stay over but the dad couldn’t because he had to spend time with his other child. He said it hurt him deeply as well. Marry the right one and truly consulting the Lord if this is the best person for you. Goof stuff brother.
I appreciate this video. I always grew up knowing something was not right that all my non black friends and mixed friends with non black fathers and black mothers had two parent households. I remember one birthday party where my dad was there and one of my friends asked me why my brother and sister weren't calling my dad, "dad". After a while I would lie and say me and my sister had the same dad bc it was so embarrassing being in a single household with different dads. them recession years was hard on us. My sister went on to perpetuate the cycle and got 3 kids by 3 men and only one is partially active and my sister is not active in the oldest life. He being raised by my mom. Men in our community do a lot of blaming on women picking the wrong men but its 50/50. the majority of men in our community have a pump and dump mentality and create single mothers not only in our community but in non black women as well. Thank you for holding men accountable
Why do men wait until they have children to finally decide to get their life together? Using the child as a catalyst for their own growth. It’s way too common for men to find purpose through their children. Definitely need to heal and be happy BEFORE you have children so that child doesn’t have to heal from having you as a parent.
Truly, there's nothing that sets you straight in a hurry like it, ...huge responsibility involved. But bringing a child into this messy world with no plan in view is just plain criminal!!
You ain’t no deadbeat. And you ain’t gotta explain yourself to nobody, especially to someone who thinks you’re a deadbeat. God bless you brother. And thank you for sharing with us!
It's about "quality" not "quantity". You can't be out here having sex with any and everybody you meet. Men and women both have to learn to have more self-respect.
I always correct my children and say it's Your house too. They live in two houses and have to make adjustments every week. It's sad. They want us to All be together.
Yeah sad sad situation Indeed. You can see their behavior change depending who and where they at. What is even worse is when the kids are sperated and one parent Don't give fuck about their physical and mental development. Somebody better set it right before they deviate from their rightful path. I would advice the responsible parent does whatever that is necessary ( get funds) to put those kids under the same roof with somebody who is willing to take up half the share of the workload. After seeing some shit like up by that close and personal puts me totally off having kids cuz I did not know there was so much responsibility that has long term consequences.
Great respect to you for being real....... coming from a 60 year old man who never had children.... continue teaching life's lessons to our young people.
I wish you tube was around when I was young. Imagine if I heard this message when I was young. My life would of been different, I would of doged the bullet🙆🏽♀️. I had a child with the wrong dude and I was blinded at the fact that he was a crack head and doing drugs in front of my daughter. He was verbally abusive, till it broke my daughter down and she stopped protecting him. She has severe mental issues that she is seeing a psychologist. Crying out to me telling me how come my dad dosen't love me. Her self esteem is low and her marks are dropping. Its been hell !!!!! Young people please think twice before you jump in bed with that individual. A one night of pleasure can cause a heart ache of pain.
Damn. I dodged a bullet but I was on the Mirena coil. I'm actually thinking of having a child alone via sperm donor. I'm not meeting the men with the emotional capacity that I want for my children. I don't want my children to think that they were abandoned by their father.
@@dre8463 Maybe she didn't know he was a crackhead at the point of conception? Don't forget Rihanna's father was a crackhead. I didn't know my husband was an abuser until year 7 of our relationship. He never laid or threatened to lay a hand on me until year 7 either. They hide it very well.
@@marleyhill34 If that's the case, then understandable. I was just shocked, crackheads aren't usually very good at hiding the fact that they're crackheads unless she didn't know this guy very well before having sex with him...
@@dre8463 I have spoken to and listened to many drug addicts and initially, they hide it very well. When we see them in the street that's when they've lost everything/ in the peak of their addiction but not everyone starts out like that. But I also know someone who was a cocaine addict who kept his job, relationship and home for 10 years before getting clean. They are incredibly good at lying and if you don't take drugs yourself you would know the signs. Same with mental health. No one would know I have a personality disorder unless I told them.
Everyone gets in a relationship just to say that they're in a relationship and not lonely. People are so weak and can't handle society seeing them as "unattractive" so they literally jump in a relationship as fast as they can, even right after a breakup, they will rush right into the next one. And 99% of the time they have a kid before marriage, then boom, breakup and then they're a single mom/single dad.
I don't do that. I never felt it made any sense jumping into something without going through a healing process or growth after a break up. I always saw it as tracking muddy shoes over a freshly shampooed carpet. If I wouldn't do that to a carpet, it makes even less sense doing that between relationships. I'm not saying break-ups don't hurt. I'm saying you have to get to the point where you're comfortable being in your own company again.
Men don't care???? Love u can fill a Stadium with females that don't give a shit about their kids. Females now a days ain't shit. So if you really care about our children start checking these "women"
@@davidwalker2030 the person said a lot don't care not all. It's true. How many single fathers have you met compared to single mothers? It's easier for men to walk away from a child than women. When you hear that a man walked away from his kids, you wouldn't even bat an eyelid. Because it's something we are all used to. If you heard the same about a woman, it would probably most likely garner more of a negative response. It's just how it is unfortunately
@@MH-yj5ed I know 4 single fathers. NONE of the mothers are in the kids life. Have the fathers tried to get custody of the kids???? It's been my experience that women end up with the kids bc they think the kids are theirs and believe the father is their only for money. Myself and plenty of other men are willing and able to take the kids. So are the men asking for their children? Esp. the boys?
@@davidwalker2030 I hear you...its easier to point the finger in the other direction. Some women think they are exempt from being corrected...I have watched my son deal with all kinds of foolery ...he is involved in his children's life, pays his CS, good job all that...the BS has to stop.
The entertainment industry music, movies etc are promoting a culture of promiscuity, sexuality, hedonism. Basically the opposite of what this dude preachin
Enjoyed listening to you. Thank you for not using bad language most time some speak truth but because of the foul mouth I personally chose to not listen. Keep up the good work.
Why are people in the comments responding with “black women or black men”. I think the important thing is to remember people are flawed no matter the colour of skin. I think humanity needs to do better. Thanks for thinking of the children. I’ve never heard this talked about and it’s actually shocking.
No offense to you and please don't take my comment the wrong way. To be honest, you are basically stating ethnic & color don't matter. I totally disagree. Some poverty-stricken Afro-American people were not taught the same as Caucasian children or ethnic. Statistics will give you the percentage of what ethnics and poverty-stricken areas,and states for unwanted pregnancies. It's mostly Afro-American people, Latino's and Spanish low income areas that do not practice unsafe sex or using protective aspects to prevent unwanted pregnancies. There are a lot of dysfunctional family aspects to trigger unwanted pregnancies in poor poverty-stricken area's as well. However, I understand you want to think on the level of equal races for unwanted pregnancies, however, it's not that way at all. Whites statistics are not same for people of color. However, I also understand what you are stating as well. There are some Caucasian children make mistakes; but not higher percentages than people of color.
@@jesusisgod4992 The only thing I can tell you....READ...😊 Stop being illeriate & delusional. You're right it is human race of different cultures and ethnics. It sounds like you are very young with no experience in life. My best friends are almost every ethnic/cultures of color. I am not bias and never will be racist a person. I was brought up as a Christian from two adorable parents that taught my siblings and myself very well. I am an intelligent individual with a Doctoral Degree. I read and know what the statistics consist of in America. If you would like to know how America cultures are different and treated different...turn on your television, get a book and READ or observe the world news. Maybe you will learn statistics numbers in America and observe how different ethnics are treated in this nation. God Bless you!
Hello ladies, I work at a historic plantation site and we discuss the unbending line between events of 300 years ago and today. There is a definitive and well documented connection. Moreover, trying to ignore the impact of race suggests you don’t have to deal with it, it doesn’t impact you, therefore you are trying to minimize the trauma all over. That’s your paradigm. It’s nice that you care but go one step further and research history. I think you mean to be supportive, but instead your comments come off as dismissive and that leads to division. This brother’s message is unbelievably true to life, sad, hurtful and real and I deeply appreciate his candor and vulnerability. Best to both of you.
@@jesusisgod4992 The humanity is the point and for you it is one way and for me it is another. You don’t decide for the world. Do you. Learn what you can. Leave it there. My experience isn’t less valuable because you disagree. Have a blessed day
@@jesusisgod4992 Find God....So you will know the truth. God brought you in this world when he put breath in your body to breath. Your soul and spirit will return to God when you die. Every human-being is brought in the world with God and will leave this earth/world with God. The next step you will be judge on judgment day, which means your soul will be in Hell or Heaven eternally according to the way you have lived on this earth and how you have treated people. God Bless you! I am praying for you!
A lot of marriage (not all) because of selfishness, pride, and bitterness. Unless God is the center of a marriage which brings loving like Christ loved, denying oneslef for the better of the other, make compromise and treat with respect and dignity the dauther or son of God that is in a marriage covenant with you. It's very difficult. We are selfish creatures by nature. When I submitted to God in my marriage even without my husband doing his due at first things changed dramatically and our marriage dynamics have neverbbeen better. The change God has made in me as influnece his behavior and ways. Like proverbs says a gentle word stops an argument. A gentle spirit (for both men and women) will tame affect the other spouse.
@@Valeska6000 I grew up in the Church and many divorced and broken homes there too. Having God as the center is not a guarantee and I wish people would stop spreading this message as if it's the only way and giving people a false sense of security.
This is something every single young man needs to hear once puberty hits and every 3 months until 18, then every 6 months until they finally find the right woman. I tell my nephews all the time, "Don't get caught up in a lifetime of grief over a 10 second nut!" I have seen the damage done to children born in hostile situations. I'm a product of it. My parents are like oil and water. They got caught up, and he dipped out a week after I was born. It's still horrible having to interact with them both at the same time! And I'm 41!!! 😳😳😳 So I definitely don't want to see that continued in their generation. I didn't have kids because I didn't find someone who could be the man I wanted to bring children into the world with and create a family with.
Why do babymama hold on to their first baby daddy and also why she does it not want me to move on with my life and be with someone else who will make me feel important I have a six months old daughter that I've never spent any quality time ever since she came out from the woman the only time I spend time with my daughter is when her mother brings her over to my mom's house how come I never get to spend time with her alone the only way that I can spend with my daughter is when I go over to her house she doesn't not respect the way that I feel she keeps on saying that she loves me and she wants us to be together as a family but at the same time she doesn't it not show it her action s shows different we been together for five years but before I met her my life was going good I was already in a relationship before she came into my life she wanted a relationship with me I was already in a relationship with a wonderful woman who was ready for marriage she is very independent but anyway since the woman who is already together she lives far distance so anyways I felt like I let myself down because I felt like she wasn't it never right in the first place she was just pretending to be the one but that wasn't not the case I feel like she brought on toxic things in my life I've never been through such thing like this before in life I feel like I should have wished to my first mind and go up North someone who cares but now I am stuck because I created a child with someone who is not serious about life
I'm glad the community is waking up, we can make better decisions for our children by choosing better partners and be more responsible❤ i learned from other's mistakes.
I was married for 4 years before we had our daughter. Stayed married for 18 years until his death. Our marriage had its up and downs but, we stuck it out. I never brought another man around our daughter. It’s been 6 years and still no man. I haven’t went on one date since his death. She’ll be 20 this year. 🤷🏾♀️
@@prettyacct it was a sacrifice I made for my child until she became an adult. And now that she’s in college, I’m open to dating. But that was a choice I made and I would do it all over again if I had to.
Great video sir. Marriage first, sex and children later. This way, you can have these types of conversations at home and prepare your children for success. Bless you sir.
I’m so glad you are teaching men about having kids out of wedlock because it does have consequences. I have a cousin who has 7 kids by 5 different women and trust me he’s going through the drama and some of his children hate his guts all because what the baby mamas told them. It’s sad and real. He always worked 2-3 jobs to pay for child support because his main job takes all his paycheck so he has to work other jobs just so he can live so gentleman be careful because when you spread your seeds like a farmer this is what happens.
@@vAndres49erz I feel bad but yet why would he even think to have 7 kids between 5 women. Like if I was a man (I’m a girl )I would’ve got snipped by the second kid but this man had 7 kids like imagine the Financial burden he must be going through right now.
I’ll be 26 in a couple months and so many people around my age are having kids and breaking up, I’m happy I didn’t just choose some random person to bring life into this planet with. I learned from the mistakes of those around me (my own mother and other women in my family) and would never ever put my future children thru anything I went thru, including a nonexistent father.
Same and for me people wonder why I've never been in a relationship and it's because I have witnessed peoples unhappiness and growing up with parents in two separate states.
Thats just common sense u are bragging about. How about you learn what qualities a good partner has? What do you offer beside looks? I bet your mommy and the other women told you to chase someone with money as if money equals to someone who can raise a family.
@@Drake00000010 what u respond to her comments is just nonsense. what she said is not bragging but facts. Sadly, many young people dont learn from the mistakes of others even when they are advised by these people. they donot listen to advise. Most people repeat the same mistakes of others and if she decided to observe and not repeat the same mistakes what is it to you.
Getting into the marriage is one part but sustaining the marriage and having a healthy relationship after the kids is another. My first two children were born in wedlock and we went thru an ugly custody battle. At every phase men have to secure and protect their relationship, marriage and partnership with their wife before and during marriage
When it came time for a divorce and fight for custody of my kids I played zero games. I had a rough childhood and I refused to let my kids have one. I happily paid thousands for lawyers and court fees and ended up with 50/50 of my kids with no child support. Everything my ex wife put me through on purpose and tried to take my kids I still forgave her for my kids sake, my kids think that me and her are the best of friends, I refused to argue with her and I only say positive things about her when the kids are around. Men, no matter how bad your child’s mother is it’s still your responsibility to fight for your kids and give them the best life.

I used to work in the office at an elementary school, and I remember once I was calling for a pickup for a sick student. I tried his mother multiple times, she wasn't answering, so I told him that I was going to call his father. I kid you not, the color drained from his face and he asked me not to. I asked why, and he told me that it was his mother's week and that if I called his dad and his dad picked him up they'd scream at each other. My heart broke for the student, and it reminded me why I continue to wait until marriage for children.
I hear you, though marriage is no guarantee life will end up any differently. I waited until I was married to have kids. I was married for 12 years, had two kids, and it ended spectacularly badly. It’s been almost seven years now, and I still feel terrible for how my kids suffered during the divorce and aftermath. They are extremely well-adjusted now, fortunately. Life is hard no matter our best-laid plans 🧡

Because he isn't a deadbeat...those are the ones who typically try to place blame everywhere but on themselves...
He may or may not blame her in his head, but the key is not announcing it public for the children's sake.

This man is TEACHING. Sex is too damn casual in our culture and it’s creating so much dysfunction.
It’s not sex but promiscuity! No one want to protect themselves and wear comdom! Then kids pay the price of their reckless parents’s mind! People need to wake up and start to wear protection! Specially in our community
Preach!
Yes and this is the issue it needs to be taught more and more to growing women not to give your body up to any and everyone !!!
@@beatricedevarenne2621 nah sex in general, to much soul ties and energies being transferred. Don’t matter about protection. Protection don’t guarantee anything but celibacy do!
Yes and a lack of self control!
Us black women also need to learn to protect our wombs. That's what I'm teaching my daughters from day one.
@BrownGolden Girl I agree with you but that is only half of the equation. Black boys also need to be socialized to be responsible and accountable. They need to be taught to respect themselves, women and girls and not to buy into the toxic male belief that being a man is about sleeping with as many women as you can. As a community we put so much pressure and accountability on females but little to none on the males. This will create good women but No decent men, it's like building half a house. 💯
@BrownGolden Girl Very true, it starts at home. We can’t avoid mistakes we make at a young age if we aren’t educated properly and don’t know. But keep in mind men can be great actors to get what they want and that includes sex, kids, and marriage. The best way I’ve seen it play out is just staying protected for a few years, even in a marriage. Marriage doesn’t prevent a split home because people constantly change and you may think you know a person well, but you really don’t.
@BrownGolden Girl I know that's right
Boys are never taught this lesson. I've been taught to 'protect my womb' from birth and to never become a baby mama. Dating in a pool of men who were taught the opposite is exhausting. Little black boys need to be taught to protect their fertilizer, and not create children in different homes. I dated endless dudes with multiple kids, I never slept with any man who had kids outside of marriage or in multiple homes. Needless to say I was always disappointed. Until I met my hispanic husband, I never dated a man who values family and need to have a two parent household and that is sad. Women have been told to protect their wombs and are still tricked into babymama-hood by deceivers and liars. I think we need to teach little black children to value the creation of life and the need for it to happen in a healthy two parent atmosphere. Not just the girls...
Yes. I wasnt taught this surprisingly. Especially with me having a mother who had her children from her husband. I was fancy and free with my womb since age 15. But my girls were taught better by Me. I have 5 children and absolutely NO grandchildren.
Every 16 year old boy needs to watch this and then periodically every year till they're 26.
Till long after they are married..
Yes, this is the truth!
Totally agree
Women as well.
U not lying!
As a teacher, I have seen the emotional damage this causes to kids. They think the absent parent does not love them anymore because he or she has another children to attend to. This sparks a lot of hurt, rivalry, hate and low self-esteem
Complete facts
It's like a family member um around you had a baby by men you aren't with and looking at family like the supposed to take of them well you still reckless um sorry there yours
Same way black men tell black women to “pick better” black men should be “picking better” too 🤷🏾♀️
Very true.
Unfortunately "picking better" for men and women to often means settling for less. Less Money, less ambition, less attraction. It seems like too many men and women have to settle for less than relationships, for a black community full of families to be realistic

Very true not that much man will speak up. Like that respect.
Think about how the parents acrimonious relationship is being modeled to the children on this is how relationships work. Most people are not healthy.
It's hard when the culture amongst men is that to have credibility, they have to have had sex.
Thank you for sharing. My kid's dad got them 3 weeks a year (it was all he wanted). I had to deal with a lot of emotional fallout when he dropped them off. Not the oldest child, the youngest...

I agree with you Mr. MARTIN
Precisely
A black man being a dad. Much love my dude.
There are great Black fathers. In my generation all my friends and neighbors had fathers in the home. It wasn’t until it became “normal “ to be teenage mothers and fathers. THAT is the problem.
Honey other groups have absent fathers trust me I know because I do social work with all types of people. I’m fourth generation in my family and we ALL knew our dads and grew up in wedlock as a black person

It's mostly you are not ready for kids. I've been Married almost 20 years, and I'm 39. We started having kids our first year married. At this point you are going to be a old man dad when your kids are getting out of high school. That is if you started now. By the time you understand what Love is and how to treat a woman it's going to be to late for you, I fear. Women need guidance, and they are always a mess at first, just like we all are, --- thus Love requiring a lot of sacrifice. No woman or man is ever ready to have kids or be in a loving relationship. Learning how to Love is a hard road that most will never walk or they will fall off the path due to hard times. Love demands courage, strength, gentleness, humbleness, No-ego and self-control. Most men never learn these skills. And yes they are skills you need to work on.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love is not a feeling. It's something you wake up and do every morning.
Same thing applies to men. Why is there a high rate of fathers disappearing?
@@mizzchoc10 I just told you if your listening
@@mizzchoc10 more so women keeping and doing everything in their power to keep men away from their kids. There are more men willing to be father, rather than 30 years ago. All my guy friends are in their kids lives and love them. It's the bby mom causing hell.

Exactly!!. It's a norm to have child mother's but not to have a wife. It's so mess up. People sexing around and they don't even know the person . Then there's possible of pregnancy .
Young Brother THIS is what needs to go VIRAL!!!! I’ve been there done that! I’ve been teaching my boys this since they where 10 and 11 because it starts when you’re very young. You over hear male family members and friends glorify being a player,Mac and a pimp and your mind begins to form the WRONG impression of relationships with women and you become vulnerable to the traps that have been set for you to fall into this lifestyle. Every single mother who has a son and every father who wants to lead his sons and daughters in the right way, YOUR CHILD NEEDS to hear this MESSAGE!!👊🏾💪🏾💪🏾Thanks Bro 4REAL!!!!
Lmfao!
Yess 🙌🏿
Yes..great post. We need to talk with our children honestly. Age approved conversation.. The casualties is the kids
REAL TALK!
My husband told me once that he wished he never had sex before he was married. I was so surprised to hear that because I never thought men even thought that way.
There's so many lies promoted in popular culture, misleading many men and women.
I want men and women reading this to check out Tony Gaskins and Breeny Lee. Only ones I'm seeing exposing the real motivations behind the behaviours we witness among us as well as the long term impacts. May we all gain more wisdom and understanding!
God intended for his children not to have sexual relations before marriage! Sex is sacred it's used to create a bond between two people in 💕 love! Society has cheapend love, and made it so it wasn't special anymore, and people in society, our young people are being CHEATED of real 💕 LOVE! IT'S why society and children are suffering! Good for your husband, realizing God's way is best! 🙏🏾🙏🏼🙏🏻👍💜

@@Peach-kv4ze @Mary A one night stand, stop acting stupid. Women who willingly sleep with people's husbands are not mother material.
Easy girl probably means someone who will have sex without a commitment and or soon after meeting the man, and perhaps without protection. Date someone in person for at least three months before having sex, and only in a long term, loving, monogamous relationship. If they won't wait for that, they aren't the one.

This is very refreshing to hear, a man teaching another man.
It’s great! Plus, it seems like there is a phrase repeated over and over that women must “choose better”. No. Both women and men need to choose better. Both women and men need to exercise more self control. We all have room to learn, grow, and evolve.
I’ve been sharing 50/50 custody with my ex for six years now. It sucks. It’s heartbreaking the emotional havoc torn-apart families cause. I waited until marriage to have kids, and after 12 years my marriage ended very badly. Married, not married, being apart from your kids is a special hell, for them, and for you.
I’m going through all of this now. In the beginning stages of divorce. He’s already brought the children around another woman. And we’re just together 1.5 ago. Now my young children have another woman around. I sometimes regret ever getting married or having children with him.
I wanted a solid family unit. Smh
@@lelo46 omg thats most women’s nightmare. is there any legal way to not have other partners around your child? I dont have kids yet but just curious if there‘s such a thing in general
@@realtruth3762 Not in most states unless both parties agree to this for each other during visitation and it’s written into the custody agreement, or for the previously married couples, in the divorce decree, and signed by a judge. It’s not mandatory and judges won’t agree on it unless both parents want this or there is abuse or drugs involved, which will cause a loss of custody in general. When visitation occurs, the parent granted that time decides whoever, whenever they want around the children. Judges understand and promote both parties moving on but they don’t understand or get involved with how long they’ve known the person or if you have a reason not to trust the judgement of who the other parent has around the child. It usually comes off as jealousy, even when it’s not if you have good reasoning. So as @lelo46 said, it makes you regret things all together. And the only thing you can do is learn from it, but it’s honestly too late when you’re already in it.... But I’m glad Shumake made this video to hopefully educate others.
Same. Was a virgin when I married at 27. We divorced after 13 years and I am heartbroken for my kids being caught between 2 parents. My ex will not co-parent nicely.
Sorry to hear that, it must be hard dealing with this situation.
My generation had a serious teen parent problem, so my dad was very strict about sex, protection and pregnancy. He made sure to drill it into my head to be safe and only have relations with men that I could marry.

And that’s why I live and promote celibacy until marriage, which is the REAL planned parenthood.
@Lo Livingston Hi Lo thank you for your comment and you’re right a lot of men aren’t waiting however I personally know many who, are some even male virgins or celibate for years or was celibate and are now married.DeVon Franklin and Russell Wilson are examples of men who actually encouraged their now wives to wait with them and in my book, ‘How to Date and Stay Saved’, I feature 12 couples who were abstinent with each other, in spite of their sexual pasts, and are now happily married with families so it is possibles and the right person will wait with you it’s all a matter of perspective and believing in the possibility and not basing it on the majority.

@@spamman6369 they are contributors. There were times I had no choice but to go to dad because mom was insufferable at times. And yes he could be just as nurturing if not more so. But moms take on most of the burdens and aren't recognized. Dads are contributors. And a single mom for instance can be capable of being both parents since there are so many dead beat dads.
@@lisanidog8178 what about the dead beat moms? You will never understand the pain of being a hard working man, that will and do sacrifice any and everything for his lady and children only to be told you have to leave the home because she chose to no longer work and rely on the system. Then that very system see that you make good money so they attach child support on the sole provider to the point where it comes to pay your rent or mortgage or child support, which transfers to pay child support or be homeless. So many men fall into this category, if I choose to pay child support I'm gna be homeless which leads to being jobless because no matter how anyone look at it you can't be homeless and hold a good job. So you choose your own health and survival and get labeled a dead beat. So many men sell drugs and do dumb shit because of a woman they loved made choices that put their back against a wall

@@thatdude123 it's always been there but it wasn't as heavily shamelessly promoted as is now.
When children have to go back and forth it can be difficult. Children want a mom and dad because it’s natural. They want their family living under one roof.
This is true, I respect men that have children, but at the same time I refuse to be with a man that has kids with multiple women, really not even one child. I had a man curse me out, then say I was judging him based off his past. People hate for you to call them on their mess, but I judged him off of current events. But these people don’t care if you are right for them or not, they just want who they want, but end up suffering the consequences later.
a lot of them will just lie to you and tell you that they don't have any kids. You end of finding out later. Those same guys that feel like you are judging them, will be the same ones on the woman hating youtube channels talking about how single moms are trash. There are thousands of guys on those channels, saying single moms are trash and don't date them but these guys don't have any children and havent made any single parent families?.. hypocrites. Also, that same guy will get you pregnant and you will be the next single mom. He has already shown you that he will walk away. Smart woman. I am teaching my daughter too. Keep her legs closed until marriage.

@@oursimpleandnaturalkindofl7301 marriage is no guarantee either. the way how things are now, people get married for unholy and unhealthy reasons, ego trip, peer pressure, religious pressure, financial stability, lust, fear of being alone. I married for healthy reasons love and building a Christian life together but I didn't know what subtle signs to look for. My husband told me he was ready and ready specifically to marry me specifically and I believed him. Not a soul told me not to marry him. Effectively he was very good at hiding all of his unhealthy thoughts and behaviours and the Church loved him! But something in my spirit said not to have children with him. He got arrested for assaulting me and I left him.

There are also those who married but their husband died but they get tarred with the same brush.

I enjoyed watching this video, I was very impressed with his message and this is for both men and women. Sex is not love, and making a baby is more than cuteness, it's a financial, emotional and psychological responsibility and so many children suffer in the long run because the conception was from lust not love. Good message!!
God tried to warn us when he told us not to fornicate. A whole slew of problems happens as a result.
i wish i had listen to father God i didnt and now paying the price. but one thing i know my God has forgivin me.🇬🇧
Right!!
You said that right, ask me how I know. God is faithful🙏🏿
How many children did the men in the old testament have.
This is the precise reason why he said that. All kinds of problems comes with fornication. It's a difficult habit to break, but it's possible.
So I'm african and in most african cultures women are taught to take pride in their virginity and to look for a man who is educated or financially stable. And men are taught to look for a woman who has this kind of values and is submissive and obedient. But I think it's sad that most of the time they don't teach you about picking a partner or their intellect, emotional maturity, spiritual, mental, psychological compatibility. I grew up in a household that was very toxic. Even though my parents are still married to this day, they don't love each other. They're still together for the sacred promise they made and also I think it's because of the shame that comes with divorce. But I honestly believe they're not right for each other. They would fight all the time, I was emotionally neglected. It's something I've just discovered effects even today. My point in all this is don't just look for a partner who looks good on paper. Maybe they might be financially stable and have no kids but really get to know them. Their background, how they interact with others (especially people like waiters etc.) Their mental and emotional maturity. Make sure you love them and they love you. And most importantly their family and what kind of relationship they have with their family!!! If you have to convince yourself that you'll end up loving them anyway. They have money and security it's fine. Don't do it!!!! There's more to compatibility and love than this.
It's the same for women who don't protect themselves and wind up with children not wanted or cared for by their fathers girls and boys need their fathers.

I have to share this with my male friends and cousins ASAP!!
They need to take notes and reevaluate their lives.
I grew up in the 70s. Born to an almost 18 year old child. She kept me, but she shut my dad out. Not having a daddy affected me in ways I don't want to describe and I did things I'll be ashamed of for the rest of my life. I did meet him later and had a semi-relationship with him until he passed a few years ago. From him I have two half sisters, both whom I adore. I love my mother so much and am super close with her (we basically grew up together!), but, oh, what I would have given to have a daddy like you. You, sir, are a good man.
Respect
It's painful hearing your child not wanting you to leave. My ex wife and I got divorced and she got full custody. I barely get to see my son but he is always super happy to see me but cries so hard when I have to leave. It makes me want to cry seeing my child cry wanting me to stay.
I pray for your son, and pray your wife doesn’t ruin him. Every boy needs his father, especially for guidance and personal development. When a boy is raised by is mother, it creates insecurities. I hope you and your son can reunite, at some point in time, he will call the shots to be with you. I believe here in the states, it’s the age of 12. If he’s at that age, have a sit down with him, get an attorney involved, and cordinate with your son to tell the judge that he wants to live with you. I hope that bitch ex of yours doesn’t put shit or fear in his head. Good luck bro.
I am a woman andI hate when women behave as such! When women decide to be selfish even the word “selfish” get in trouble. Just keep having hope, your child will make her change her mind when he turns a teen and her job becomes tougher. I always say that children are closer to their mom from birth to teen because that is the stage of nurturing: the child learns from the home and family life and learns to socialise from there.They need their father more from teen and up because they learn to face society and experience more of what they learned from home (where the mother teaches llove through her own virtue.) They need their fathers (both girls and boys) to guide and protect them from life in the word. The false teachings has messed up the family system reason why we are all in constant misunderstanding. All these so called “happy" people on social media are not necessarily role models. A woman who is distroyed inside from lack of love is very dangerous. In the other end, a woman who truly loves herself and knows true love knows how to take the best decisions about her life and her loved ones. In the other end, some men can be distructive to women because they also did not recieve the right love from their mother. In order to be able to share love to her offsprings, she needs to have it because we cannot give something we don’t have. Men give your women love so she can give it back. That is why men give the seed and women helps grow the seed to become the fruit. Brother use this time to focus on yourself and forgive before changes can happen. Love is the most difficult one to give but it is the most miraculous healer. Happy mother’s day to women because at the end of the day, there is a reason why she is the chosen one to bear life. Good luck!

Well done to you for posting this. You may want to do a talk in schools, to young men, and in fact women.
I’m in favor of you giving this talk to high school kids. What a gift you’d be giving them. You’re 100percent
We live in a hyper sexual society . Everyday we’re bombarded with messages promoting lust and promiscuity. It’s tough to resist the urges . Self control is key. We can cultivate this within ourselves. Not just because the media promotes a certain lifestyle we have to follow. Get to know people beyond what they look like, find out their financial history , their sexual history. This culture of hook ups is not the way. It actually interferes with our ability to pair bond and have healthy relationships.
Sadly, it's true, people follow the media like sheep these days. Hook ups are considered normal these days, when you say you don't want to , you are considered frigged. It's great that the comments are all agreeing on the fact that we need to stop sexualising relationships to a point it's just a physical thing and nothing else. God, that is one thing that sperates us from animals 😐
So correct on all accounts
Right the other day the tree man just tried to kiss me and I pushed him off me like what the fk? You just go around trying to kiss people I don't need or talk to you beyond trees bro...I just don't know why so many people want to just jump right into sechs it's just weird to me
Exactly!!
I agree with everything you said apart from the ‘pair bonding’ part not everyone is spiritual or processes things that way and it’s a highly unscientific approach that encourages harmful behaviours (long term) in the name of ‘self-preservation’
AMEN AMEN that exactly why I decided to become celibate. I was raped on my first time ..second time I was being lied to just for them to have sex with me..thirst and last time was my „ex“ who hid his pregnant wife from me that he had been living with which is also the mother of his first son..I got pregnant during that relationship but refused to keep it..cause I knew he couldn’t/wouldn’t take care of us..
I‘m still feeling so guilty and ashamed..and that when I finally understood what God has always been trying to protect us from. „Rape, unwanted pregnancy, STD‘s, having to use plan B, and so on ....
Its just so unnecessary we go through all this just for temporary pleasure rather than wait till we mature enough to make wise decisions on who to let touch our sacred body and have kids with...
True until the part that you talk about rape. Rape is not your fault. It's the lack of respect that the individual has for you and your body. Don't even think that you allowed that behavior bc clearly you had a boundary and they crossed it. Thats not your fault. I pray that you can find forgiveness and grace for yourself so that you can heal completely.💕
And it's hard finding the right person. Being decieved and munipulated happens to alot of people before they find the right one and thats of they ever do. Sometimes our heart is deceptive to us too bc we want to help and love that person who does us wrong. Only discernment and prayer will lead you to the right one.
@@beautifulty777 Snapple Apple Fact plus fasting
I am celibate because of what my mother went through chasing love and having violate men in the house that abuse us and abuse her. It scar me to the point I never want to go through that. It is horrible and I will never want any child to witness the horrific terror of my decision
I was also raped my 1st time and ended up with a manipulator pervers months later ou was hard to deal with but it's possible to overcome with counseling and prayers
I grew up without my dad, only seen him twice in my life. I went through alot and I always felt alone and stressed out due to life bills and my mom being a single mother. No one to talk or understand me to guide me in the right direction. I always wonder what my life would of been like if I had a dad. Luckily I believe and pray to God. God helps me understand life situations. But what you say here is very real and I appreciate it alot.
Damn man you wrote my entire life story
lm so proud of you. God bless you!
@Owi OwiYou are your "god" and "Veganism" is your religion. Look at you testifying and witnessing...
You're gonna make me cry 💔
You can have a dad. But he might not know how to be a father. Same goes to mother's.
Old white lady in Ohio here - not sure how this got in my feed but the title got my attention. This is one of the best videos I’ve seen. This should win some kind of serious award & be played in all public schools and not just shown to kids but to everyone, everywhere for many reasons. This really gets across because it’s so real. Thank you.
Every young person needs to watch this. Unfortunately, too many aren’t capable of receiving this message.
I'm an educator and see the impact on children with all the trauma and drama that going "flesh wild " can result in...hurt kids! Bless you for speaking on this and I know your baby girl will be fine 🙏🏽
Ladies and gentlemen, this is a wise man. There's a reason why God's word says not to do certain things, because He knows pain and suffering will be the result. But we live in a society that glorifies and promotes sin. Lord have mercy. My heart goes out to this dude, I went through the same thing. God bless 🙏
I hope he can reconcile with the kids mom
@@gdust6579 For what?
I like your comment and you are correct about the bible it's our instruction for life. If we learn some knowledge and seek some understanding then perhaps we can apply some wisdom to our lives, then just maybe we can live a purpose driven life.
He can't be that wise my G, that's why he going through this shit now
@@paigeoliver425 So true, I was wondering had this been figured out before he got caught up. He would be in a much better place.
It's nice to see you care about your children so much.
I see why my son doesn't want children now. He's 20 and has already made up his mind on it. I see too many marriages failing, mother's and fathers having babies and one leaves, or your situation. I won't ask again about future grandchildren.
He cannot handle children psychologically. My sister is the same. I'm in therapy and hope to go to parenting courses to raise a child with good psychological health. My psychological health was completely ignored by my parents.
@@marleyhill34 Children just aren’t for everyone. Not everyone is meant to be a parent just like not everyone is meant to get married, own a house, etc...
Thats a healthy perspective at 20. By the time he's 30-35 he'll wake up and realize he's worked hard and become master of his universe. Then he'll want to share that. Keep him focused!!
I commend him, I bet your son is pretty damn smart. But please tell him that we need smart people to have kids
Teach him to wait until he is married to a good woman.
Single parenthood =POVERTY
Having 2 separate households
means double the bills instead of one.
For example separate households
The bills of the other household
Rent =$700
Util=$100
Cable +phone $100
So in om1year Loss of $10,800.
In 18 years there is a loss of $129,600.
Single parenthood households
LOSE OUT ON on minimum of $129000. Thus is just the minimum many could be losing out on as much as $200000-400000. This is money that could be used for wealth building.
And this is why black people stay impoverished.
Wonderfully explained!
Facts
Having a baby as a single woman before age 20 guarantees (95%) likelihood of permanent poverty. No babies until you get yourself financially settled!!
Say the truth. This is the dynamic in America. These are Liberal/Democrat policies for black people. They told black folks, “if you don’t marry the father of your child, we will take care of you and your children..” Absence of father figure in the home is really killing our families. It’s worse than Racism.
It’s so great to hear your honesty. It was another guy who stated how he wished he did things differently as well he had 3 kids by 3 different women. He stated how his son wanted him to stay over but the dad couldn’t because he had to spend time with his other child. He said it hurt him deeply as well. Marry the right one and truly consulting the Lord if this is the best person for you. Goof stuff brother.
Thank you 🙏🏽
That man needs his own house
That’s Tuff
No offence but if he had children out of wedlock 3 times.. he did not learn his lesson. He didn’t regret shit
I appreciate this video. I always grew up knowing something was not right that all my non black friends and mixed friends with non black fathers and black mothers had two parent households. I remember one birthday party where my dad was there and one of my friends asked me why my brother and sister weren't calling my dad, "dad". After a while I would lie and say me and my sister had the same dad bc it was so embarrassing being in a single household with different dads. them recession years was hard on us. My sister went on to perpetuate the cycle and got 3 kids by 3 men and only one is partially active and my sister is not active in the oldest life. He being raised by my mom. Men in our community do a lot of blaming on women picking the wrong men but its 50/50. the majority of men in our community have a pump and dump mentality and create single mothers not only in our community but in non black women as well. Thank you for holding men accountable
Why do men wait until they have children to finally decide to get their life together? Using the child as a catalyst for their own growth. It’s way too common for men to find purpose through their children. Definitely need to heal and be happy BEFORE you have children so that child doesn’t have to heal from having you as a parent.
Truly, there's nothing that sets you straight in a hurry like it, ...huge responsibility involved. But bringing a child into this messy world with no plan in view is just plain criminal!!
My mom took like 4 kids to kinda get her shit together soooo women too man
Sometime it take a child too set u straight.
Right ✨✨
That goes for both sexes too
You ain’t no deadbeat. And you ain’t gotta explain yourself to nobody, especially to someone who thinks you’re a deadbeat. God bless you brother. And thank you for sharing with us!
🌟
It's about "quality" not "quantity". You can't be out here having sex with any and everybody you meet. Men and women both have to learn to have more self-respect.
That's what you do if you want to give someone chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis.
This PSA should go hugely viral! Thank you because having babies is serious business and lifetime commitments.
One of the saddest things I hear kids say, "I'm going to my dad's house." or "I'm going to my mom's house."
Kids in these situations are transients.
Story of my life lol
@@favouritethings11 So sorry gor your experience. ❤
I always correct my children and say it's Your house too. They live in two houses and have to make adjustments every week. It's sad. They want us to All be together.
Yeah sad sad situation
Indeed.
You can see their behavior change depending who and where they at.
What is even worse is when the kids are sperated and one parent
Don't give fuck about their physical and mental development.
Somebody better set it right before they deviate from their rightful path.
I would advice the responsible parent does whatever that is necessary ( get funds) to put those kids under the same roof with somebody who is willing to take up half the share of the workload.
After seeing some shit like up by that close and personal puts me totally off having kids cuz I did not know there was so much responsibility that has long term consequences.
Read the title and it made me think of my momma. She used to say this: Know who your making kids with! We live in a sick world😣
Two minutes of pleasure for a lifetime of pain...

Great respect to you for being real....... coming from a 60 year old man who never had children.... continue teaching life's lessons to our young people.
I wish you tube was around when I was young. Imagine if I heard this message when I was young. My life would of been different, I would of doged the bullet🙆🏽♀️. I had a child with the wrong dude and I was blinded at the fact that he was a crack head and doing drugs in front of my daughter. He was verbally abusive, till it broke my daughter down and she stopped protecting him. She has severe mental issues that she is seeing a psychologist. Crying out to me telling me how come my dad dosen't love me. Her self esteem is low and her marks are dropping. Its been hell !!!!! Young people please think twice before you jump in bed with that individual. A one night of pleasure can cause a heart ache of pain.
Damn. I dodged a bullet but I was on the Mirena coil. I'm actually thinking of having a child alone via sperm donor. I'm not meeting the men with the emotional capacity that I want for my children. I don't want my children to think that they were abandoned by their father.
You had to be told to not to sleep with a crackhead, unprotected? 😱
@@dre8463 Maybe she didn't know he was a crackhead at the point of conception? Don't forget Rihanna's father was a crackhead. I didn't know my husband was an abuser until year 7 of our relationship. He never laid or threatened to lay a hand on me until year 7 either. They hide it very well.
@@marleyhill34 If that's the case, then understandable. I was just shocked, crackheads aren't usually very good at hiding the fact that they're crackheads unless she didn't know this guy very well before having sex with him...
@@dre8463 I have spoken to and listened to many drug addicts and initially, they hide it very well. When we see them in the street that's when they've lost everything/ in the peak of their addiction but not everyone starts out like that. But I also know someone who was a cocaine addict who kept his job, relationship and home for 10 years before getting clean. They are incredibly good at lying and if you don't take drugs yourself you would know the signs. Same with mental health. No one would know I have a personality disorder unless I told them.
Everyone gets in a relationship just to say that they're in a relationship and not lonely. People are so weak and can't handle society seeing them as "unattractive" so they literally jump in a relationship as fast as they can, even right after a breakup, they will rush right into the next one. And 99% of the time they have a kid before marriage, then boom, breakup and then they're a single mom/single dad.
Yep!!! Guilty.
I don't do that. I never felt it made any sense jumping into something without going through a healing process or growth after a break up. I always saw it as tracking muddy shoes over a freshly shampooed carpet. If I wouldn't do that to a carpet, it makes even less sense doing that between relationships. I'm not saying break-ups don't hurt. I'm saying you have to get to the point where you're comfortable being in your own company again.
And they usually break up right after the kid is born. I think some just have babies just because it’s expected.
The sad part about this is that a lot of those men don't care. They couldn't care less how their children eat or how they live. 😞
💣💯
Men don't care????
Love u can fill a Stadium with females that don't give a shit about their kids.
Females now a days ain't shit.
So if you really care about our children start checking these "women"
@@davidwalker2030 the person said a lot don't care not all. It's true. How many single fathers have you met compared to single mothers? It's easier for men to walk away from a child than women. When you hear that a man walked away from his kids, you wouldn't even bat an eyelid. Because it's something we are all used to. If you heard the same about a woman, it would probably most likely garner more of a negative response. It's just how it is unfortunately
@@MH-yj5ed I know 4 single fathers.
NONE of the mothers are in the kids life.
Have the fathers tried to get custody of the kids????
It's been my experience that women end up with the kids bc they think the kids are theirs and believe the father is their only for money.
Myself and plenty of other men are willing and able to take the kids.
So are the men asking for their children? Esp. the boys?
@@davidwalker2030 I hear you...its easier to point the finger in the other direction. Some women think they are exempt from being corrected...I have watched my son deal with all kinds of foolery ...he is involved in his children's life, pays his CS, good job all that...the BS has to stop.
He needs to be speaking this to the MASSES!!! Men and women, boys and girls!!!! Yesssss Lord!!!!
The entertainment industry music, movies etc are promoting a culture of promiscuity, sexuality, hedonism. Basically the opposite of what this dude preachin
Agreed...
condoms
Enjoyed listening to you. Thank you for not using bad language most time some speak truth but because of the foul mouth I personally chose to not listen. Keep up the good work.
Yep
You're absolutely right. It promotes a totally unrighteous life!
Why are people in the comments responding with “black women or black men”. I think the important thing is to remember people are flawed no matter the colour of skin. I think humanity needs to do better.
Thanks for thinking of the children. I’ve never heard this talked about and it’s actually shocking.
No offense to you and please don't take my comment the wrong way. To be honest, you are basically stating ethnic & color don't matter. I totally disagree. Some poverty-stricken Afro-American people were not taught the same as Caucasian children or ethnic. Statistics will give you the percentage of what ethnics and poverty-stricken areas,and states for unwanted pregnancies. It's mostly Afro-American people, Latino's and Spanish low income areas that do not practice unsafe sex or using protective aspects to prevent unwanted pregnancies.
There are a lot of dysfunctional family aspects to trigger unwanted pregnancies in poor poverty-stricken area's as well. However, I understand you want to think on the level of equal races for unwanted pregnancies, however, it's not that way at all. Whites statistics are not same for people of color. However, I also understand what you are stating as well. There are some Caucasian children make mistakes; but not higher percentages than people of color.
@@jesusisgod4992 The only thing I can tell you....READ...😊 Stop being illeriate & delusional. You're right it is human race of different cultures and ethnics. It sounds like you are very young with no experience in life. My best friends are almost every ethnic/cultures of color. I am not bias and never will be racist a person. I was brought up as a Christian from two adorable parents that taught my siblings and myself very well. I am an intelligent individual with a Doctoral Degree. I read and know what the statistics consist of in America. If you would like to know how America cultures are different and treated different...turn on your television, get a book and READ or observe the world news. Maybe you will learn statistics numbers in America and observe how different ethnics are treated in this nation. God Bless you!
Hello ladies,
I work at a historic plantation site and we discuss the unbending line between events of 300 years ago and today. There is a definitive and well documented connection. Moreover, trying to ignore the impact of race suggests you don’t have to deal with it, it doesn’t impact you, therefore you are trying to minimize the trauma all over. That’s your paradigm. It’s nice that you care but go one step further and research history.
I think you mean to be supportive, but instead your comments come off as dismissive and that leads to division.
This brother’s message is unbelievably true to life, sad, hurtful and real and I deeply appreciate his candor and vulnerability.
Best to both of you.
@@jesusisgod4992 The humanity is the point and for you it is one way and for me it is another. You don’t decide for the world. Do you. Learn what you can. Leave it there. My experience isn’t less valuable because you disagree. Have a blessed day
@@jesusisgod4992 Find God....So you will know the truth. God brought you in this world when he put breath in your body to breath. Your soul and spirit will return to God when you die. Every human-being is brought in the world with God and will leave this earth/world with God. The next step you will be judge on judgment day, which means your soul will be in Hell or Heaven eternally according to the way you have lived on this earth and how you have treated people. God Bless you! I am praying for you!
Thats why Gods way is the best. Get to know the person as friends then if they're suitable, court then get married.
No guarantee, marriages collapse daily and it’s the worst form of this . There’s a big question to all this ! Hm
A lot of marriage (not all) because of selfishness, pride, and bitterness. Unless God is the center of a marriage which brings loving like Christ loved, denying oneslef for the better of the other, make compromise and treat with respect and dignity the dauther or son of God that is in a marriage covenant with you. It's very difficult. We are selfish creatures by nature. When I submitted to God in my marriage even without my husband doing his due at first things changed dramatically and our marriage dynamics have neverbbeen better. The change God has made in me as influnece his behavior and ways. Like proverbs says a gentle word stops an argument. A gentle spirit (for both men and women) will tame affect the other spouse.
@@Valeska6000 Amen!!!
Marriage is not a guarantee. My parents were married and divorced....I was traumatized by it.
@@Valeska6000 I grew up in the Church and many divorced and broken homes there too. Having God as the center is not a guarantee and I wish people would stop spreading this message as if it's the only way and giving people a false sense of security.
This is something every single young man needs to hear once puberty hits and every 3 months until 18, then every 6 months until they finally find the right woman. I tell my nephews all the time, "Don't get caught up in a lifetime of grief over a 10 second nut!" I have seen the damage done to children born in hostile situations. I'm a product of it. My parents are like oil and water. They got caught up, and he dipped out a week after I was born. It's still horrible having to interact with them both at the same time! And I'm 41!!! 😳😳😳 So I definitely don't want to see that continued in their generation. I didn't have kids because I didn't find someone who could be the man I wanted to bring children into the world with and create a family with.
This man is surely telling the truth. When experience person tell you something they know listen to what they say.
Why do babymama hold on to their first baby daddy and also why she does it not want me to move on with my life and be with someone else who will make me feel important I have a six months old daughter that I've never spent any quality time ever since she came out from the woman the only time I spend time with my daughter is when her mother brings her over to my mom's house how come I never get to spend time with her alone the only way that I can spend with my daughter is when I go over to her house she doesn't not respect the way that I feel she keeps on saying that she loves me and she wants us to be together as a family but at the same time she doesn't it not show it her action s shows different we been together for five years but before I met her my life was going good I was already in a relationship before she came into my life she wanted a relationship with me I was already in a relationship with a wonderful woman who was ready for marriage she is very independent but anyway since the woman who is already together she lives far distance so anyways I felt like I let myself down because I felt like she wasn't it never right in the first place she was just pretending to be the one but that wasn't not the case I feel like she brought on toxic things in my life I've never been through such thing like this before in life I feel like I should have wished to my first mind and go up North someone who cares but now I am stuck because I created a child with someone who is not serious about life
I'm glad the community is waking up, we can make better decisions for our children by choosing better partners and be more responsible❤ i learned from other's mistakes.
I was married for 4 years before we had our daughter. Stayed married for 18 years until his death. Our marriage had its up and downs but, we stuck it out. I never brought another man around our daughter. It’s been 6 years and still no man. I haven’t went on one date since his death. She’ll be 20 this year. 🤷🏾♀️
20 is mature enough for you to find yourself a friend, you have a life too Ms Katy
You're a special lady. Respect to you. Wish you the best going forward.

No one wins an award for being alone. Your children are grown, you best live your best life before it passes you by.
@@prettyacct it was a sacrifice I made for my child until she became an adult. And now that she’s in college, I’m open to dating. But that was a choice I made and I would do it all over again if I had to.
Great video sir.
Marriage first, sex and children later. This way, you can have these types of conversations at home and prepare your children for success.
Bless you sir.
I’m so glad you are teaching men about having kids out of wedlock because it does have consequences. I have a cousin who has 7 kids by 5 different women and trust me he’s going through the drama and some of his children hate his guts all because what the baby mamas told them. It’s sad and real. He always worked 2-3 jobs to pay for child support because his main job takes all his paycheck so he has to work other jobs just so he can live so gentleman be careful because when you spread your seeds like a farmer this is what happens.
Right it’s sad.
That man is a damn idiot.
@@vAndres49erz I feel bad but yet why would he even think to have 7 kids between 5 women. Like if I was a man (I’m a girl )I would’ve got snipped by the second kid but this man had 7 kids like imagine the Financial burden he must be going through right now.
Like a farmer omg 😂
@@chanelschanel8493 Yeah, he's an idiot. And, I'm willing to bet he's broke. I doubt he can afford those kids.

Same and for me people wonder why I've never been in a relationship and it's because I have witnessed peoples unhappiness and growing up with parents in two separate states.
Thats just common sense u are bragging about. How about you learn what qualities a good partner has? What do you offer beside looks? I bet your mommy and the other women told you to chase someone with money as if money equals to someone who can raise a family.
@@Drake00000010 what u respond to her comments is just nonsense. what she said is not bragging but facts.

My father had a child with the wrong woman, but it was the man that made the difference, today I am a man holding up my father‘s legacy
Right!
Getting into the marriage is one part but sustaining the marriage and having a healthy relationship after the kids is another. My first two children were born in wedlock and we went thru an ugly custody battle. At every phase men have to secure and protect their relationship, marriage and partnership with their wife before and during marriage
When it came time for a divorce and fight for custody of my kids I played zero games. I had a rough childhood and I refused to let my kids have one. I happily paid thousands for lawyers and court fees and ended up with 50/50 of my kids with no child support. Everything my ex wife put me through on purpose and tried to take my kids I still forgave her for my kids sake, my kids think that me and her are the best of friends, I refused to argue with her and I only say positive things about her when the kids are around. Men, no matter how bad your child’s mother is it’s still your responsibility to fight for your kids and give them the best life.
You are a hero sir....What did you have to do to get 50/50 custody ?
I am going through same situation right now sir...
@@wysefavor I hired a lawyer and went through the family court system.
You are a hero man. Your children are blessed to have such a dad.
