I feel you Tiffany. My daughter is now 26, but when she was 16, 17 - she gave me a run for my money. What helped is making her work a job! That kept her SO busy plus she was in multiple school activities surrounded by other adults/mentors. I was single, still am - and with her being so busy - it gave me plenty of breaks. Hang in there Momma! You are doing great!
Hi Tiffany diy donna here love the video yes it is Different raising boys than what it is raising girls. I raise 2 of my daughters, my own self. They are now 30 and 31 and then I adopted 3 children. One is a girl and the 2 youngest are boys and I just think boys are harder than girls. I rather raise girls any day than don't get me wrong. I love all of my children the same. Even the ones that I did not give birth to I still love them like they were my own but I rather raise girls than boys.yes I go to the Park and eat lunch in my car I never left my kids alone. And I don't leave the boys alone now either. The girls are now 30-30 1 and 18. The boys are 14 and 15 I do not leave them. Boys alone. Or did the girls get left alone either somebody was with them at all times too. Sneaking out the window. Have boys in the room? My brother and his wife are doing with that. With 17-year-old daughter now sneaking in and out. Drinking smoking have boys in her room. My brother add a boy. Paint to their garage.2weeks ago
Prayers for Caymen. I know he will do well. I too was a teenage mother. I have 2 daughters. It was pretty stressful like you say. Both my girls were very hard from the 8th grade until they were Junior's in High School. When they were Senior's they were totally different. It was like a 360. I don't know how to explain it? Their attitudes were gone. POOF! Just disappeared. They both graduated with honors, went to college and have great jobs now. Stay strong Tiffany. You're an AWESOME mama. It's rough right now and I know exactly what you're going through. I'll say some prayers for you too! Take care, God Bless, and stay warm!
Tiff, I LOVE how authentic and real you are keep doing videos like these, it's therapeutic to express what's going on, I would LOVE to see more videos like this but also I'd like to see organization, clean with me, get ready with me videos etc. your so creative🤗
I totally agree with you there is nothing wrong with being over protective of our children i never let my children be out and about hanging with friends cause you never know your an amazing mom keep up the good work Love your channel
Have faith in her... She knows what you went though, be open to talk with her and tell her you love her a thousand times a day. She listens more than you know.
Hi Tiffany I work from home 95% with an office day twice a month which I enjoy a lot. I found that I’m more productive, less interruptions from chatty folks that would constantly interrupt my day, no dealing with unnecessary and unplanned meetings, no sitting on city traffic with angry folks beeping and swearing! I also love that if I don’t feel well I can still try to work and not use time along with not putting others at risk in an office space! Prayers for Cayman and his buddy 🙏 I know they will do fantastic! I would definitely want a sitter for a teenager since, and we all have been there, they have a different sense understanding danger and in today’s world the problem isn’t that you can’t trust your teenager but all these crazy others that can invade your house even virtually! I hope you find the perfect person to help with this when you need to be away from your home. I believe in therapy and I always recommend speaking with someone impartial who can provide support without any involved emotions! Just a thought. Yes! Vlogs are fantastic when you travel, staycation, travel and food! Love all your videos! Sending you love and hugs❤🙏🥰😊
I’m a mom, grandma, great grandma, and a child therapist. I was challenged to the max when my daughter was a teen. I would t ever want to go through that again. I can tell you that no matter what, you stay in her business. Right up in her grill at all times. You will sacrifice but in the end it will be worth it all. Hang in there, mama. You’re doing great!
THIS!! ⬆️ The ages from 14-22 are the absolute worst then after that they become your best friend. My daughter will be 30 this year we had some rough years but I wouldn’t trade it for anything. She made me a grandma 3 years ago and has another one on the way. ♥️
Ohhh Tiffany!I FEEL you!I wish I had some sage advice ,answers,ideas, all of that! Lord,I've been there,I only had one child,a daughter,and teen years?! Challenging to say the least. I was so intent on trying to keep her from making the same mistakes as I did ! I had her when I was 18.There comes a point where you've just got to give it to God.And pray for patience, and strength for yourself LOL! I will definitely be praying for Cayman! I really enjoyed sitting with you and hearing your heart! Stay strong friend! Love you!❤
Right! And my mother would have never taken me for drinks at 21 nor would I do it as a parent! You need to have boundaries and kids need to know as much as you love them you’re not on their level.. you’re their mother! I think she is so in need of friends and adult companionship that she uses her kids to socialize with, and she should be doing that stuff with adults. I absolutely love her channel but I mean yikes
Life 360 and if it gets turned off, phone gets taken away. Removing that phone is life to a teenager. Also, take the phone every now and then and go through it. I will walk in and randomly take a phone. No warning. Always catch them off guard so they can’t delete. I also don’t allow TikTok and Snap Chap. I do allow FB and IG. I hate social media for kids but you have to pick your battles.
Girl, you don't know cold unless you've lived in Chicago this past week. It's been in the negatives for daaaayysssss! And don't worry about Cay, it's good for him to learn how to survive in all temperatures while in the military. My son will be in the Army soon and he's prepared! You've raised a strong boy, he'll be fine. Love you Mama!
I appreciate your honesty about parenting older kids. I have 3 boys who have left the nest and I am at home with my 17 year old daughter. Honestly, I found community and help in church and by making friends with the parents of the sports team she is part of. Fellow moms have to help each other out!
Here in Colorado it’s been real cold. -21 and below that. For about a week. Dusting of snow but the high mountains 3 feet and more. Colorado Springs hasn’t had a ton of snow this year. Praying for Cayman. This cold snap is unusual for many parts. My granddaughter just graduated Navy bootcamp last Thursday. Now she’s in San Antonio, TX. We’re so very proud of her. She turns 19 in March. God bless our young people who wanna serve and protect our country. God bless and keep them all safe.
Hi Tiffany! Yes find yourself not just as a Mother. I raised 4 daughters. It was rough, omg! They are all doing well now. Hang in there. The values you teach them will always be in their head.🌸🌸🌸
Hi Tiffany, I'm praying for Caymen and I'm sure he will do well. Now...raising a teenage girl, was one of the hardest jobs I had! Boys are so different and were much easier for me. My life is very similar, single mom, young adult children and I completely understand you. I look back when my daughter was in high-school and I'm surprised we both survived it! It was very stressful and exhausting at times, but honestly my kids didn't get into trouble. It is truly a test, when you raise independent children to young adults. Today is such a different world than when we were kids. I think you're doing a wonderful job! ❤ My daughter and I had issues because we are both type A personalities and clashed often because she thought she was grown as a teenager. Now, as a young adult and a Flight Attendant with a major airline, she is traveling the world and understands completely where I was coming from. We are now best friends, talk everyday, and she has so much respect for me. In fact, we even travel together when she's working or not. You got this!! I have admired the relationship you and your children have. Ok sorry, I'm just rambling, but I get it. You need a mental break and some relaxation. Praying for you too! Tfs❤
You may think about a capsule wardrobe by season. You can have one for the colder months when you’re a little thicker. You can also have one for the warmer months when you’re a little thinner. Whatever you decide, have fun with it. Fashion is fun.
My husband has spent 90% of his 16 year career in special operation for the army. It’s tough, but worth it. My husband did Ranger School 14 years ago when he was in his 20’s. Caymen is young and tough. He’s got this. It’s gonna suck, but he’s got it.
We have a 14 year old daughter and 12 year old son. Both are autistic. We really are tied down and have to have a sitter. Our neighbor is 15 and hangs out for date nights for us. She’s a god send.
Tiffany, you've had me in tears...so much of what you said you hit the nail on the head for me from what I've been dealing with my 16 y.o. son and an incident in HS last wk...I'm here for him but like you said they gotta live and learn but it's SO hard sometimes as they gotta live with the consequence....love you!
Hey Tiffany I am a single mom of two boys and one girl in the same situation as you. My boys keep an eye on her social media and keep me up to date with what is going on in her life and who she is with (in case I don't know them but usually I do). I never leave her alone - Young and dumb is exactly right and I'm not saying she's a bad girl she is amazing but I was her age once and this day in age there are dangers out there and just making one bad mistake can change your world. I have my family member(s) come and stay at my house when I go away and don't doubt yourself you are doing a great job if your worrying (lol) My favorite saying for my kids was "not on my watch" and again I put my life on hold to raise my kids and then I say I get my life but it hasn't happened yet but it will - good luck!
I was a stay at home mom and the girls came my house after school and we had tea and cookies together. It was everyday. My favorite time of day to listen.
Hi Tiffany. I live in Utica NY and we got a lot snow but it is freezing here, I love your vlogs. You are a beautiful person inside and out. I am 59 on January 28th and I am struggling to lose weight on fixed budget. You an awesome Mom. I will pray for Cayman. You are all in my prayers
Tiffany, I enjoyed you chatting over Motherhood. It is good to vent out, don't hold it in. We are all here for you when you need or want to chat. It was pleasant.
Hate to say it but your travel time may have to wait till after your daughter turns 18 and or moves out on her own. Or maybe a trusted family member can come to help out. I had two kids that were 2 years apart, my husband and I went out of state for his 50th birthday and left the two of them at home. The only reason we did it was my son was the responsible one. And we felt like he could handle his sister. And yes we did get phone calls about what was going on, like when she let all her crazy friends in our house. That was breaking the rule while we were gone. Self care is so very important and you will find Tiffany! Give yourself some grace and your time will come! You got this!!!! 🤗
👋 WFH employee here. It’s changed my life for the best! I agree, I’ve noticed stores seem to be pretty steady at all times. I used to love shopping early in the morning when things seemed slow, but that doesn’t seem to be the case now. I also eat in the car all the time. We’ll take any content you crank out. You are such a joy to watch.
Ms Tiffany you are such a good mother ! You are doing the right thing always being vigilant and thinking about your daughter that’s the way it should be , before you know it she will be older and out of the house ,hang in there , your children will remember all that you did for them when they get older and appreciate you , prayers for you nana your family
You are a great mother Tiffany, your kids are lucky to have you. My mom was a teen mom and when my sisters and I were growing up that was her worry too so I’m pretty positive that is why you are feeling the way you are. I only have boys but I am in the teen phase and it can be worrisome. Parenting is just hard but with lots of prayers we got this. Sending prayers for Cayman, may God keep him safe and protected and sending prayers for you, Khia and Cash.
Thanks for your chat. All of us that have already gone through the teenage years can surely relate to the challenges and worries that you are facing. As for Cayman, try not to worry about him temperature wise anyway, it is actually not that cold in San Antonio right now. They are not getting the extreme temps that a lot of us are experiencing. Facing the temps there now would be much easier than facing the extreme heat and humidity of summer - outdoor physical activity then is brutal in comparison. Being a mother is the greatest thing, but also one of the most stressful things we will ever face - I feel your pain and concern - continue on, and take care! ❣
Girl give us ALL the vlogs! It’s make me feel like I’m doing the things or enjoying life with you(single mom of two and don’t get out at all) and it’s my comfort from all my choas of motherhood😅 Also, LOVE car chats so just a suggestion but I wouldn’t mind you doing more chats with us!❤
My son has been sick in the field. We’ve had to celebrate holidays after the holidays. Military mom life changes your life and your perspectives on life. It gives you gratitude like never before. He & you will become so strong. Prayers for his safety & strength.
Gods got this girl. Just buy your faith in him. He doesn’t leave any of us. He is there for all of us even the teenagers. Just keep the faith it will all work out.
I have 1 daughter who is the oldest. and 2 sons who are younger. What kept them busy and I knew where they were, was a summer and weekend job. It taught them responsibility and helped them develop work experience. Or to have them volunteer somewhere they are interested in. Like an animal shelter, homeless shelter, Boys &Girls Clubs, hospital, Senior Center, etc. it looks good on their employment application and college applications. I also knew where they were on weekend evenings and their paycheck taught them financial responsibility. You could team up with other single mothers or parents to plan sleepovers every month. That way, you got three weekend evenings to spend for yourself. The parents who drop off their children also drops off food for the evening and morning. 😊❤
Tiffany sometimes you cant give them all the answers or fix it. Sometimes they need to feel the pain of growing up. . Just continue to being the best parent you can be. Someday she’ll be your best friend just keep telling yourself that. She Will thank you.
I work from home I have since 2012 but I work a set shift. 7:30am-4:00pm. I work for a hospital doing medical coding so we can work whatever shift we want but we have to work a set shift. I love it and highly recommend it. It’s not for everyone though. It can be solitary. There are times I do t leave the house all week until the weekend. My kids are grown.
I desperately needed this conversation when my 4 kids were in high school. The youngest is 25 now, i truly believed she was ms innocent back then. She was extremely conservative compared to 75% of the other kids but she still had a little sneakiness in her. We made it out of high school wurh no pregnancies… Thank God! Single mom with 4 teenagers was rough!! Good luck & just keep the communication open between y’all!
My prayers go out to Cayman 🙏 and I can’t believe Cash is turning 21. I work half of the time from home and this is when I watch your videos while I’m working. I do home visits as part of my job and when I eat lunch out I prefer to eat at the place rather than my car. It’s just my preference. I’ve only seen Malta on TV and pictures and it’s so beautiful. I hope one of these days I get to visit Malta. Enjoy this special time with Kaia. My daughter is 24 and I practically have to beg her sometimes to go out shopping with me or go out to lunch. Her life is so busy now but I do treasure our dates together. Since my kids are now older 24 & 27 I now enjoy happy hour with my friends. It’s a total change as they get older, but you do learn to adjust and treasure the moments with them even more.
Tiffany, Enjoy your life. Take time for yourself. God's plan for us is already written in his perfect timing. He created you to be an amazing mom, you deserve to put yourself first sometimes. Your daughter is a great person. All of your children are great kids because you raised each of them so well. Go out and have fun! 🎉😊
You have done such a wonderful job as a mother you deserve the best. My sister-in-law joined a solo travel group and has made the best of friends and they try to match you with people that have the same interest as you. When my daughter was a teenager putting me through changes I wrote her a heart to heart letter I think it made a difference.
Absolutely continue to raise Khia as you have. Don’t leave her home alone, I agree with that. Just be in her life,whether she likes it or not….i know I bugged my kids and I was exhausted most days from not letting up on them. I wanted my kids to understand choices had consequences ….good and bad. I wanted them to see outside themselves, there are two sides to everything…have empathy. It’s these things that have to be explained and taught to our kids. I now have two very kind, supportive, successful sons who now teach me a thing or two😁 Hang in there, take a breath every now and then and know you are not alone.
From listening to your chatty video I understand where you are coming from in your mind especially with a teen girl but also I want to say you have been one of the most hands on mothers I have known and your kids know this as well! You have brought them up to be good loving and caring young people and with your insight as well as your wisdom you and your children will be just fine Tiffany God bless you all love you too♥️
Sending prayers for Cayman. I am sure he will do well. I raised 2 boys. They definitely are easier than girls. My friends who have daughters tell me girls are harder than boys. You are a wonderful Mom. Hang in there❤
Hi Tiffany! We all look back at things we did as parents and wonder, how could I have done that or made that decision? There is no perfect parent, unfortunately. You do the best you can do, love your children (like you do, and I do), and move forward and enjoy every moment. I had two boys and now have a 14-year-old granddaughter, so I know what you are talking about. It is obvious from your videos that you are a great Mom. My son is a single father to two kids, my 14-year-old granddaughter and my 7-year-old grandson. He beats himself up all the time about not being a good enough dad but, he is a great dad just like you are a great Mom. There are so many kids that would be grateful to have a Mom like you! Don't be too hard on yourself.
Ooh, the vinegar on the broccoli making you cough scared me! I’ve had several instances when eating pickles when that’s happened to me. My throat closes up & I can’t catch my breath. It is SO frightening! I try to not panic & take small slow breaths to get air back in my lungs. But when in the midst of this attack, it can be very traumatic. Be careful! How did your sister get interested in moving to Malta? During high school football season on Friday nights, I get drive thru supper & go park @ the field & watch the game. I don’t have any kids that play, it’s just a fun outing! I’m 63 yrs old, never married, no kids. Have lived most of my life enjoying the solo life. Don’t be afraid to do things solo! You have a great attitude & adventurous spirit. Give yourself grace going through all the recent changes w your kids. You’re a protective mom. Lots of good ideas for you to read in the comments. This next chapter will be an awesome time for you!💖🙏🏻
I really like you, you have a lot of common sense, and self aware don’t doubt yourself. You are doing just fine. I like your chats. By the way. I’m 75 years old. You have a good head on your shoulders. Touché on raising your kids.
Ms Tiffany you are on the right track, keep your eyes on the Ball, most teens think they know more than the parent, not so. I'm a grandma and I know the teens will try you if they can. Keep doing you,we got this, have a blessed day
No Kids Divorced ,It's cold for me in Tampa. I was away many holidays when I was in the Marines. Hang in there everybody it will and does get better. Have a great week everyone, from Tampa Florida..Be Safe and Stay Thrifty
I think you are doing a phenomenal job Tiffany. It just sounds like you need a little break. A chance to step back and catch your breath. A lot has happened to your momma heart in the past year. Hugs❤
I get it, i remember those days with my daughter and grandchildren they will push you but it is because they want boundaries they are testing you to see if you will set them. lots of activities for teens with adults present at your local church. i did this very thing for a lady in my church years ago i watched her teen children while she took a break. she did not have to worry. you have done great!! now its time to put your son in Gods hands he will protect him (easier said than done, i know). i have ate in my car when i want to get away from the folks i work with . i work at a local college i go into work m-f, i dont do well with working from home i need to see people. i would love to see more shop with me videos love those and of course the dollar tree.
Tiffany-you are a precious lady! I love your honesty and your attitude and your wisdom! I was a stay-at-home mom with my three children and did not leave them home alone overnight. However, they became adults and made their own choices. We will always love and support them. I look forward to your travel vlogs! Prayers for y’all. 🙏💕
When I needed to figure out what was inside me I started yoga...but in a real yoga studio. You'd be surprised how much you learn about yourself and others when you dive deep into yoga. Ive been at it now over 10 yrs. Find a good studio, with a good, "seasoned" instructor, a good zen/yoga vibe. A yoga class for me is like a self care journey every time. It's worth a try...a place to start. ❤
Coming from a teen pregnant Nana... I was also a teen pregnant. My kids are now 28 & 30. Honestly, you have to hope that you have instilled enough knowledge into teens these days and also allow them to find themselves. It's the worst thing ever. I would raise 10 boys over 1 girl. ( I have one of each) You will get through it.... I honestly didn't think I would survive 14-18! Trust yourself that she knows right from wrong and things have consequences. That's all you can do. I will tell you I was a very relaxed mom. My daughter had friends whose mother's were so strict and naive that when they got a little time away from there parents...they went wild. You got this but still sending prayers ❤
Yes, can we get more vlogs and day in the life videos please? I really enjoyed this video 💐 it's always a pleasure to talk with you in this way. I hope things work out well for you, and you get the break you need soon. A such an amazing mom Tiffany, and I think your mom goals are reasonable and good. Love ya, and take good care 😊
I feel like the only safe bet would be to have a relative stay with your teen or have them stay at their house but it's honestly a gamble either way lol. No one can parent the way you do or know what to expect like you do. My mom is lucky lol I tell her that she had it easy with me.
Hey Tiffany I feel you It’s quite normal what your feeling They can be a worry for sure 😢 There’s no easy answer I feel like your a concerned mom who went thru raising your children alone and you don’t want that struggle to happen to her So you are doing great and you did not talk our ear off I’m so glad you have us to talk to Everyone needs someone to vent There’s people who have no one 😔 We’re here for you Prayers for Caiman 🙏 n you ❤️
My daughter was so bad when she was a teenager she was doing drugs and lied to me I thought she was so sweet but behind my back she was something else she put me in jail for slapping her in the face and did the most and I had 4other kids to take care of I feel you I know what you are going through I'm going to be praying for you and your family 🙏💗
Hey Tiffany. While I can relate to you, I just wanna let you know how blessed you are. I suffer from infertility and can’t have kids. Shoutout to you for being a great mom and best of luck to you with Kya ❤
Prayers for Caymen and for you to keep doing what your doing. You are a GREAT MOM!!! We all go through rough ups and downs. I have an auldt daughter and 2 adult sons. The older one is married and they will be parents in March 2024. They will always remain your babies in your heart no matter what age. Love ya Tiffany ❤😊
Tiffany you are doing great. As you said, your life is on hold. My kids are grown, I am a grandmother. I didn’t leave my kids either. My kids now have teenagers. Stay strong!!
Tiffany, it sounds like you are doing things right. Your children are very lucky to have you and they know you will be there. Sometimes you do need time for yourself even if for a day or night. I hope you find a way. Your day will come.
I don’t think you’re overthinking it at all. And what comes to mind for me is a church youth group. I’m a mom of 3 but mine are babies. Wish you the best!
Hi Tiffany!! I work from home, have since COVID. Where I work we make gas perm and custom soft contacts lenses, so I talk to eye Drs all day long and their offices. I take orders, discuss products, lenses, many others things. I've been there almost 28 years! I love working from home, I do online orders all day too that the drscplace on our website. I talk to many of the same people quite often. Love it. ❤
Great video. I have three adult son’s still living at home which I don’t mind at all but sometimes I just can’t express how I feel about certain things that is happening in their life because they get so upset with me. I just pray that they hear me and understand that I am still their mom looking out for them and I always will. It’s just what mom’s do. You are doing a great job…parenting is the hardest job ever with no instructions. We all learn as we grow.
Tiffany I would like to see you get your hair cut like you did in the summer I don’t know if this summer or the one before but I think that was the prettiest your hair has ever been..I am a mother of three men and always always pray pray over them…blessings
Hi Tiffany. That salad 🥗 looks delicious 😋. I had my daughter at 19 year's old. And when she turned 18 I let her go to College. Just vlog what you do. And what ever you feel that is more timaly for you. Just pop in and talk to us. We all are here for you. I will be praying for your son. God Bless you and stay safe. Hugs. Maria. 😋😋🥗🥗😷😷🌨️❄️🤗❤️🤗❤️👍👍👋👋👋👋
Girl we are literally living the same life and not far from each other lol. I’m in Charlotte NC, 39, my daughter is 18. I feel you. I work from home since pandemic and now permanently. Love these talk videos. You should have a meet and greet at a nice restaurant or lounge…. How fun would that be!!!
Tiffany, prayers for Caymen and his buddies. 🙏 When you talk to him, let him know that we all appreciate their sacrifices. Because without these young men and women, there would be no freedom for any of us. We are very grateful for all of them. ❤ As for your videos, I love to watch any and all types of your videos. Cleaning, chatting, cooking, and especially the Dollar Tree hauls! I love to travel just like you! I would travel every week if I could afford it! I also like to stay at different hotels in different places. It is sooo fun and relaxing! I keep a backpack bag ready at all times with pretty much everything I need for traveling except my clothes and snacks! 😂 You need to destess... go to your room and close the door. Turn on some of your favorite music or just read a book. It will help. I love just going to the bedroom and closing the door and listen to my 🎶. Stay warm and safe travels. 😊
I would definitely say that I feel the same I don't want my sons to have kids before they graduate , I would just say just try to make sure to find time to talk to all of them separately just about life and things mine is 13 and I just try and make sure I explain things as much as I can because i was one who never got taught anything about life it has really made it hard for me. So just teaching them about life and how to deal with hard times love u girl praying for Caymen
Tiffany your Children show in what they are choosing in life by what type of Mom that you have been and are. You are doing a great job just keep on keeping on little Momma❤️. I have followed you for years and have never not liked one video that you have shared. You have made me laugh when I was so depressed and then there shave been times that I have cried for you . Yes share your travel’s absolutely. Maybe not a babysitter for teenagers but maybe a Chasity belt for a daughter lol. This coming from one that also had a Child at 17 years old and I was a good girl as so many are just curious and thought that I was in love forever of course. Love you and always in my prayers sweetheart.
Hang in there, girl! You are a great mom. I am a Mom of two boys, 16 and 24. My oldest has been my biggest struggle. He needed a babysitter when he was a teenager, Lol! I love him so much, but he gave me a lot of gray hair. Thank goodness his little brother is completely the opposite. He is very relaxed. He is more worried about working and making money on his off time from school than running around. Every kid is different and test their parents' limits. You need to find some local moms and start a moms group that gets together a couple times a month to just vent. I hope you get to travel a lot of places this year. I will be praying for you and Cayman. I love all your videos but I really enjoy your cleaning videos and would love to see some organization videos. Those videos relax me.
What about family help. And you can help each other. Also supervised activities like sports dance etc… You are absolutely doing the right thing Tiffany! Stay strong 🙏🏻❤️
You are doing great as a mom. It has been trial and error for all of us. You will do what is best for each of them and they will make you proud. Prayers for Cayman and you. Keep the vids coming. We will enjoy anything you decide to share. ❤
Totally agree. Teenagers need their parents involved in their lives!! Try making friends with your teens parents. Get on the same page. Know what they allow in their home. Made me feel more comfortable when my daughter was in a home where the parents had similar values. Great video! ❤
I do not work from home. I’m a plant grower so I need to be there with my plants. I do eat in my car, but it gets messy. As for teenagers, girl I just went thru that with my son and it was quite a challenge. I feel you with finding yourself, it’s a journey. My son did a program thru the Red Cross, it’s called the gap program for people aged 18-24, he got to move to Colorado and live in the most beautiful mountains I’ve ever seen. I’ve gotten to make new friendships and spend time with my other lady friends like never before. I feel like I’m finally coming into my true self, I hope that for you too.
I remember you dreaming of opening a bed and breakfast. Have you ever thought of spending stay- cations at those? Just as you told Caymen, you do your best. I have been through the trying to look at your kids as adults and not kids. You know your children best. It's great you're taking strides to figure things out for yourself when your doing more things on your own, for sure find your tribe! You're a great Mother Tiffany!!!!
Tiffany! I feel you so much, I have three teen daughters ages, 16, 14,13 and there are days I just don’t know what to do. I tell my girls, “I was your age once, I been there and done all the things you’re trying to do!” Hahahah! I definitely try not to be naive, I think I can trust my kids when it comes to things but I ALWAYS keep my guard up! I’m praying for ya mama! Thanks for making this video, nice to know I’m not alone 😂
I understand exactly how you feel. I was a single parent as well. I only had one she had to be left along often while I worked. I talked to her a lot about things that could happen. I caught her a couple of times in compromising situations and it hurt my heart. But there were things I couldn't teach her that she had to learn on her own. Thankfully, she was 39 years old when she had her first child. Now she is 45 with 2 boys 9 and 6. I always let her know that I was available to talk to about anything, even the hard😮 subjects. So If you have a decent relationship with her friend's parents, I would talk to them about Kyla spending time at their house so she could spend time at their house sometime. This would give you a chance to get to know yourself and take a break. I use to bring up things that I knew she had questions to open the lines of communication. Teenagers are so easily embarrassed. They will get information from kids their own age and most of the time it's incorrect information. Try not to wait until she's done something to correct her. Be proactive. I hope this helps at least a little bit. Good luck and God bless
I have friend that so mirrors your life on many levels. She like you is very strong willed and determined to get her kids grown and be that teen sitter lol for the neighborhood. She made it and I know you will too on this last stretch
I LOVE these videos!! I also used to enjoy the clean with me videos. You are doing an amazing job with your kiddos as a single parent. Better than alot of households that have 2 parents. Done ever second guess how your doing because you are knocking it out of the park girlfriend! We can all see how much your kids love & respect you. Keep up the good work! ❤
You are an amazing mom. I can just tell. Your kids are a representation of you, and they represent you well. You are doing great. ❤ I have 4 kids under 10 and you inspire me.
Hi Tiffany - Love your videos !! Wanted to let you know that I was a sort of babysitter for teenagers. What happened is that the parents hired me to do some household chores AND to keep an eye on their kids. Sometimes I did go over in the evenings and "hang out" with the kids as sort of a big sister. It was great for me and the kids told me that they liked it too and the parents had peace of mind. - Good luck. Donna
I work from home as a full time content creator, plus model. Prayers for Cayman. Happy 21st Birthday to Cash. I love that he wants to go with you to a nice lounge. My husband’s birthday is on Saturday. Yes to eating in the car and others as well. Malta 🇲🇹 sounds absolutely amazing. Before Covid my husband and I did a different place once a month and it was INCREDIBLE. Life is a beautiful blessing. I might be doing a girls trip to NYC come with us. Love and Light Tiffany!!! Yes travel and embrace each and everyday. Travel is the best xx
Tiffany I’m a single mom to three teenagers and let me tell you I am going through it with my 15 year old! This video spoke to me and let me know I’m not alone! Love ya girl!
I thought of a vlog to appreciate all that you do and ask your viewers what items you have recommended that we all use and love.Or what tips you gave out that you blessed us by because u deserve a Tiffany appreciation day !and I think it would be good to know how much u bless people with your videos.❤
Dearest Tiffany, my son went through the same thing. The Army takes good care of their soldiers ❤️ After the service, he went to College for criminal law, and then into the police academy, where he has been a Police Officer for many years. They get great benefits. He’s getting ready to retire at 54….I know, a mom will always worry…sending prayers to you and your sweet family🙏🏻 you have been the best mother ever💕
I feel you Tiffany. My daughter is now 26, but when she was 16, 17 - she gave me a run for my money. What helped is making her work a job! That kept her SO busy plus she was in multiple school activities surrounded by other adults/mentors. I was single, still am - and with her being so busy - it gave me plenty of breaks. Hang in there Momma! You are doing great!
O no!! 😂 Thts depressing!!
0:14 😅p0m.k mm.😊ll
Yes I use to eat in my car at lunch on my job. Just go relax and have peace and quiet. Your son is in my prayers. 🙏🏻
Hi Tiffany diy donna here love the video yes it is Different raising boys than what it is raising girls. I raise 2 of my daughters, my own self. They are now 30 and 31 and then I adopted 3 children. One is a girl and the 2 youngest are boys and I just think boys are harder than girls. I rather raise girls any day than don't get me wrong. I love all of my children the same. Even the ones that I did not give birth to I still love them like they were my own but I rather raise girls than boys.yes I go to the Park and eat lunch in my car I never left my kids alone. And I don't leave the boys alone now either. The girls are now 30-30 1 and 18. The boys are 14 and 15 I do not leave them. Boys alone. Or did the girls get left alone either somebody was with them at all times too. Sneaking out the window. Have boys in the room? My brother and his wife are doing with that. With 17-year-old daughter now sneaking in and out. Drinking smoking have boys in her room. My brother add a boy. Paint to their garage.2weeks ago
Prayers for Caymen. I know he will do well. I too was a teenage mother. I have 2 daughters. It was pretty stressful like you say. Both my girls were very hard from the 8th grade until they were Junior's in High School. When they were Senior's they were totally different. It was like a 360. I don't know how to explain it? Their attitudes were gone. POOF! Just disappeared. They both graduated with honors, went to college and have great jobs now. Stay strong Tiffany. You're an AWESOME mama. It's rough right now and I know exactly what you're going through. I'll say some prayers for you too! Take care, God Bless, and stay warm!
Oh girl, "you have to laugh to stop the cry" is SO TRUE!
Tiff, I LOVE how authentic and real you are keep doing videos like these, it's therapeutic to express what's going on, I would LOVE to see more videos like this but also I'd like to see organization, clean with me, get ready with me videos etc. your so creative🤗
I totally agree with you there is nothing wrong with being over protective of our children i never let my children be out and about hanging with friends cause you never know your an amazing mom keep up the good work Love your channel
Have faith in her... She knows what you went though, be open to talk with her and tell her you love her a thousand times a day. She listens more than you know.
Hi Tiffany I work from home 95% with an office day twice a month which I enjoy a lot. I found that I’m more productive, less interruptions from chatty folks that would constantly interrupt my day, no dealing with unnecessary and unplanned meetings, no sitting on city traffic with angry folks beeping and swearing! I also love that if I don’t feel well I can still try to work and not use time along with not putting others at risk in an office space! Prayers for Cayman and his buddy 🙏 I know they will do fantastic! I would definitely want a sitter for a teenager since, and we all have been there, they have a different sense understanding danger and in today’s world the problem isn’t that you can’t trust your teenager but all these crazy others that can invade your house even virtually! I hope you find the perfect person to help with this when you need to be away from your home. I believe in therapy and I always recommend speaking with someone impartial who can provide support without any involved emotions! Just a thought. Yes! Vlogs are fantastic when you travel, staycation, travel and food! Love all your videos! Sending you love and hugs❤🙏🥰😊
I’m a mom, grandma, great grandma, and a child therapist. I was challenged to the max when my daughter was a teen. I would t ever want to go through that again.
I can tell you that no matter what, you stay in her business. Right up in her grill at all times. You will sacrifice but in the end it will be worth it all.
Hang in there, mama. You’re doing great!
NAILED IT ! ! !
THIS!! ⬆️ The ages from 14-22 are the absolute worst then after that they become your best friend. My daughter will be 30 this year we had some rough years but I wouldn’t trade it for anything. She made me a grandma 3 years ago and has another one on the way. ♥️
Ohhh Tiffany!I FEEL you!I wish I had some sage advice ,answers,ideas, all of that! Lord,I've been there,I only had one child,a daughter,and teen years?! Challenging to say the least. I was so intent on trying to keep her from making the same mistakes as I did ! I had her when I was 18.There comes a point where you've just got to give it to God.And pray for patience, and strength for yourself LOL! I will definitely be praying for Cayman! I really enjoyed sitting with you and hearing your heart! Stay strong friend! Love you!❤
Right! And my mother would have never taken me for drinks at 21 nor would I do it as a parent! You need to have boundaries and kids need to know as much as you love them you’re not on their level.. you’re their mother! I think she is so in need of friends and adult companionship that she uses her kids to socialize with, and she should be doing that stuff with adults. I absolutely love her channel but I mean yikes
Life 360 and if it gets turned off, phone gets taken away. Removing that phone is life to a teenager. Also, take the phone every now and then and go through it. I will walk in and randomly take a phone. No warning. Always catch them off guard so they can’t delete. I also don’t allow TikTok and Snap Chap. I do allow FB and IG. I hate social media for kids but you have to pick your battles.
Girl, you don't know cold unless you've lived in Chicago this past week. It's been in the negatives for daaaayysssss! And don't worry about Cay, it's good for him to learn how to survive in all temperatures while in the military. My son will be in the Army soon and he's prepared! You've raised a strong boy, he'll be fine. Love you Mama!
I appreciate your honesty about parenting older kids. I have 3 boys who have left the nest and I am at home with my 17 year old daughter. Honestly, I found community and help in church and by making friends with the parents of the sports team she is part of. Fellow moms have to help each other out!
Here in Colorado it’s been real cold. -21 and below that. For about a week. Dusting of snow but the high mountains 3 feet and more. Colorado Springs hasn’t had a ton of snow this year. Praying for Cayman. This cold snap is unusual for many parts. My granddaughter just graduated Navy bootcamp last Thursday. Now she’s in San Antonio, TX. We’re so very proud of her. She turns 19 in March. God bless our young people who wanna serve and protect our country. God bless and keep them all safe.
Hi Tiffany! Yes find yourself not just as a Mother. I raised 4 daughters. It was rough, omg! They are all doing well now. Hang in there. The values you teach them will always be in their head.🌸🌸🌸
Hi Tiffany, I'm praying for Caymen and I'm sure he will do well.
Now...raising a teenage girl, was one of the hardest jobs I had! Boys are so different and were much easier for me. My life is very similar, single mom, young adult children and I completely understand you. I look back when my daughter was in high-school and I'm surprised we both survived it! It was very stressful and exhausting at times, but honestly my kids didn't get into trouble. It is truly a test, when you raise independent children to young adults. Today is such a different world than when we were kids. I think you're doing a wonderful job! ❤ My daughter and I had issues because we are both type A personalities and clashed often because she thought she was grown as a teenager.
Now, as a young adult and a Flight Attendant with a major airline, she is traveling the world and understands completely where I was coming from. We are now best friends, talk everyday, and she has so much respect for me. In fact, we even travel together when she's working or not.
You got this!! I have admired the relationship you and your children have. Ok sorry, I'm just rambling, but I get it. You need a mental break and some relaxation. Praying for you too! Tfs❤
You may think about a capsule wardrobe by season. You can have one for the colder months when you’re a little thicker. You can also have one for the warmer months when you’re a little thinner. Whatever you decide, have fun with it. Fashion is fun.
You are so cute. Sending your mama heart a hug. I'm glad to hear you are finding your next identity for lack of a better word. ❤
I primarily work from home. We all go "into" the office every other Wednesday, but primarily from home and I ABSOLUTELY LOVEEEEE IT!!!
My husband has spent 90% of his 16 year career in special operation for the army. It’s tough, but worth it. My husband did Ranger School 14 years ago when he was in his 20’s. Caymen is young and tough. He’s got this. It’s gonna suck, but he’s got it.
We have a 14 year old daughter and 12 year old son. Both are autistic. We really are tied down and have to have a sitter. Our neighbor is 15 and hangs out for date nights for us. She’s a god send.
Tiffany, you've had me in tears...so much of what you said you hit the nail on the head for me from what I've been dealing with my 16 y.o. son and an incident in HS last wk...I'm here for him but like you said they gotta live and learn but it's SO hard sometimes as they gotta live with the consequence....love you!
Hey Tiffany I am a single mom of two boys and one girl in the same situation as you. My boys keep an eye on her social media and keep me up to date with what is going on in her life and who she is with (in case I don't know them but usually I do). I never leave her alone - Young and dumb is exactly right and I'm not saying she's a bad girl she is amazing but I was her age once and this day in age there are dangers out there and just making one bad mistake can change your world. I have my family member(s) come and stay at my house when I go away and don't doubt yourself you are doing a great job if your worrying (lol) My favorite saying for my kids was "not on my watch" and again I put my life on hold to raise my kids and then I say I get my life but it hasn't happened yet but it will - good luck!
NEVER LEAVE THEM DAMN TEENS, YOUNG ADULTS ALONE!!!!
Prayers for Cayman his safety and protection, ..it is hard as a mom but natural..he will be proud no mater what and so will you Tiffany ❤
I was a stay at home mom and the girls came my house after school and we had tea and cookies together. It was everyday. My favorite time of day to listen.
Hi Tiffany. I live in Utica NY and we got a lot snow but it is freezing here, I love your vlogs.
You are a beautiful person inside and out. I am 59 on January 28th and I am struggling to lose weight on fixed budget. You an awesome Mom. I will pray for Cayman. You are all in my prayers
Tiffany, I enjoyed you chatting over Motherhood. It is good to vent out, don't hold it in. We are all here for you when you need or want to chat. It was pleasant.
Hate to say it but your travel time may have to wait till after your daughter turns 18 and or moves out on her own. Or maybe a trusted family member can come to help out. I had two kids that were 2 years apart, my husband and I went out of state for his 50th birthday and left the two of them at home. The only reason we did it was my son was the responsible one. And we felt like he could handle his sister. And yes we did get phone calls about what was going on, like when she let all her crazy friends in our house. That was breaking the rule while we were gone.
Self care is so very important and you will find Tiffany! Give yourself some grace and your time will come! You got this!!!! 🤗
👋 WFH employee here. It’s changed my life for the best! I agree, I’ve noticed stores seem to be pretty steady at all times. I used to love shopping early in the morning when things seemed slow, but that doesn’t seem to be the case now. I also eat in the car all the time. We’ll take any content you crank out. You are such a joy to watch.
NO EATING OR DRINKING IN MY NICE CAR!!
Ms Tiffany you are such a good mother ! You are doing the right thing always being vigilant and thinking about your daughter that’s the way it should be , before you know it she will be older and out of the house ,hang in there , your children will remember all that you did for them when they get older and appreciate you , prayers for you nana your family
You are a great mother Tiffany, your kids are lucky to have you. My mom was a teen mom and when my sisters and I were growing up that was her worry too so I’m pretty positive that is why you are feeling the way you are. I only have boys but I am in the teen phase and it can be worrisome. Parenting is just hard but with lots of prayers we got this. Sending prayers for Cayman, may God keep him safe and protected and sending prayers for you, Khia and Cash.
I love this chatty video. Thank you Tiffany. Sending prayers your way. Love you.
Your an excellent momma. You kno from experience at her age sobu want to protect her..get it..
Praying for Cayman and his fellow airmen.Hopefully the physical exertion will keep them warm! The military should provide cold weather gear
Military does have cold weather gear they will be wearing
Thanks for your chat. All of us that have already gone through the teenage years can surely relate to the challenges and worries that you are facing. As for Cayman, try not to worry about him temperature wise anyway, it is actually not that cold in San Antonio right now. They are not getting the extreme temps that a lot of us are experiencing. Facing the temps there now would be much easier than facing the extreme heat and humidity of summer - outdoor physical activity then is brutal in comparison. Being a mother is the greatest thing, but also one of the most stressful things we will ever face - I feel your pain and concern - continue on, and take care! ❣
Girl give us ALL the vlogs! It’s make me feel like I’m doing the things or enjoying life with you(single mom of two and don’t get out at all) and it’s my comfort from all my choas of motherhood😅
Also, LOVE car chats so just a suggestion but I wouldn’t mind you doing more chats with us!❤
My son has been sick in the field. We’ve had to celebrate holidays after the holidays. Military mom life changes your life and your perspectives on life. It gives you gratitude like never before. He & you will become so strong. Prayers for his safety & strength.
Gods got this girl. Just buy your faith in him. He doesn’t leave any of us. He is there for all of us even the teenagers. Just keep the faith it will all work out.
I have 1 daughter who is the oldest. and 2 sons who are younger. What kept them busy and I knew where they were, was a summer and weekend job. It taught them responsibility and helped them develop work experience. Or to have them volunteer somewhere they are interested in. Like an animal shelter, homeless shelter, Boys &Girls Clubs, hospital, Senior Center, etc. it looks good on their employment application and college applications.
I also knew where they were on weekend evenings and their paycheck taught them financial responsibility.
You could team up with other single mothers or parents to plan sleepovers every month. That way, you got three weekend evenings to spend for yourself. The parents who drop off their children also drops off food for the evening and morning. 😊❤
Tiffany sometimes you cant give them all the answers or fix it. Sometimes they need to feel the pain of growing up. . Just continue to being the best parent you can be. Someday she’ll be your best friend just keep telling yourself that. She Will thank you.
I work from home I have since 2012 but I work a set shift. 7:30am-4:00pm. I work for a hospital doing medical coding so we can work whatever shift we want but we have to work a set shift. I love it and highly recommend it. It’s not for everyone though. It can be solitary. There are times I do t leave the house all week until the weekend. My kids are grown.
Sending all the prayers for Cayman! He’s such a brave young man! Hang in there mama! ❤
I desperately needed this conversation when my 4 kids were in high school. The youngest is 25 now, i truly believed she was ms innocent back then. She was extremely conservative compared to 75% of the other kids but she still had a little sneakiness in her. We made it out of high school wurh no pregnancies… Thank God!
Single mom with 4 teenagers was rough!!
Good luck & just keep the communication open between y’all!
My prayers go out to Cayman 🙏 and I can’t believe Cash is turning 21. I work half of the time from home and this is when I watch your videos while I’m working. I do home visits as part of my job and when I eat lunch out I prefer to eat at the place rather than my car. It’s just my preference. I’ve only seen Malta on TV and pictures and it’s so beautiful. I hope one of these days I get to visit Malta. Enjoy this special time with Kaia. My daughter is 24 and I practically have to beg her sometimes to go out shopping with me or go out to lunch. Her life is so busy now but I do treasure our dates together. Since my kids are now older 24 & 27 I now enjoy happy hour with my friends. It’s a total change as they get older, but you do learn to adjust and treasure the moments with them even more.
My Grandmother used to say “I Love you all the same, it’s just that I like some of your ways better than others!” 😂
Tiffany,
Enjoy your life. Take time for yourself. God's plan for us is already written in his perfect timing. He created you to be an amazing mom, you deserve to put yourself first sometimes. Your daughter is a great person. All of your children are great kids because you raised each of them so well. Go out and have fun!
🎉😊
Teenage boys will tell on themselves. Teenage girls are the sneakiest people on the face of the planet. But you love them dearly anyway ❤️❤️
You have done such a wonderful job as a mother you deserve the best. My sister-in-law joined a solo travel group and has made the best of friends and they try to match you with people that have the same interest as you. When my daughter was a teenager putting me through changes I wrote her a heart to heart letter I think it made a difference.
fantastic idea. we get so busy and then they don't listen when we talk or feel we are lecturers. A letter, CLASSIC!
Absolutely continue to raise Khia as you have. Don’t leave her home alone, I agree with that. Just be in her life,whether she likes it or not….i know I bugged my kids and I was exhausted most days from not letting up on them. I wanted my kids to understand choices had consequences ….good and bad. I wanted them to see outside themselves, there are two sides to everything…have empathy. It’s these things that have to be explained and taught to our kids. I now have two very kind, supportive, successful sons who now teach me a thing or two😁 Hang in there, take a breath every now and then and know you are not alone.
Love these kinds of videos. You are a breath of fresh air.
From listening to your chatty video I understand where you are coming from in your mind especially with a teen girl but also I want to say you have been one of the most hands on mothers I have known and your kids know this as well! You have brought them up to be good loving and caring young people and with your insight as well as your wisdom you and your children will be just fine Tiffany God bless you all love you too♥️
I love eating in the car! It’s honestly my happy place 😢 it’s my lil “me” time being a single, full time working mom is hard and it’s my lil “break” 🤍
Sending prayers for Cayman. I am sure he will do well. I raised 2 boys. They definitely are easier than girls. My friends who have daughters tell me girls are harder than boys. You are a wonderful Mom. Hang in there❤
Hi Tiffany! We all look back at things we did as parents and wonder, how could I have done that or made that decision? There is no perfect parent, unfortunately. You do the best you can do, love your children (like you do, and I do), and move forward and enjoy every moment. I had two boys and now have a 14-year-old granddaughter, so I know what you are talking about. It is obvious from your videos that you are a great Mom. My son is a single father to two kids, my 14-year-old granddaughter and my 7-year-old grandson. He beats himself up all the time about not being a good enough dad but, he is a great dad just like you are a great Mom. There are so many kids that would be grateful to have a Mom like you! Don't be too hard on yourself.
Girl you are so right don’t turn your back
Ooh, the vinegar on the broccoli making you cough scared me! I’ve had several instances when eating pickles when that’s happened to me. My throat closes up & I can’t catch my breath. It is SO frightening! I try to not panic & take small slow breaths to get air back in my lungs. But when in the midst of this attack, it can be very traumatic. Be careful!
How did your sister get interested in moving to Malta? During high school football season on Friday nights, I get drive thru supper & go park @ the field & watch the game. I don’t have any kids that play, it’s just a fun outing! I’m 63 yrs old, never married, no kids. Have lived most of my life enjoying the solo life. Don’t be afraid to do things solo! You have a great attitude & adventurous spirit. Give yourself grace going through all the recent changes w your kids. You’re a protective mom. Lots of good ideas for you to read in the comments. This next chapter will be an awesome time for you!💖🙏🏻
I really like you, you have a lot of common sense, and self aware don’t doubt yourself. You are doing just fine. I like your chats. By the way. I’m 75 years old. You have a good head on your shoulders. Touché on raising your kids.
Ms Tiffany you are on the right track, keep your eyes on the Ball, most teens think they know more than the parent, not so. I'm a grandma and I know the teens will try you if they can. Keep doing you,we got this, have a blessed day
That’s why you have to have rules and discipline… which I don’t think she has, Tiffany acts like a giddy little girl instead of a parent…
No Kids Divorced ,It's cold for me in Tampa. I was away many holidays when I was in the Marines. Hang in there everybody it will and does get better. Have a great week everyone, from Tampa Florida..Be Safe and Stay Thrifty
I think you are doing a phenomenal job Tiffany. It just sounds like you need a little break. A chance to step back and catch your breath. A lot has happened to your momma heart in the past year. Hugs❤
I get it, i remember those days with my daughter and grandchildren they will push you but it is because they want boundaries they are testing you to see if you will set them. lots of activities for teens with adults present at your local church. i did this very thing for a lady in my church years ago i watched her teen children while she took a break. she did not have to worry.
you have done great!! now its time to put your son in Gods hands he will protect him (easier said than done, i know).
i have ate in my car when i want to get away from the folks i work with .
i work at a local college i go into work m-f, i dont do well with working from home i need to see people.
i would love to see more shop with me videos love those and of course the dollar tree.
Tiffany-you are a precious lady! I love your honesty and your attitude and your wisdom! I was a stay-at-home mom with my three children and did not leave them home alone overnight. However, they became adults and made their own choices. We will always love and support them. I look forward to your travel vlogs! Prayers for y’all. 🙏💕
When I needed to figure out what was inside me I started yoga...but in a real yoga studio. You'd be surprised how much you learn about yourself and others when you dive deep into yoga. Ive been at it now over 10 yrs. Find a good studio, with a good, "seasoned" instructor, a good zen/yoga vibe. A yoga class for me is like a self care journey every time. It's worth a try...a place to start. ❤
Coming from a teen pregnant Nana... I was also a teen pregnant. My kids are now 28 & 30. Honestly, you have to hope that you have instilled enough knowledge into teens these days and also allow them to find themselves. It's the worst thing ever. I would raise 10 boys over 1 girl. ( I have one of each) You will get through it.... I honestly didn't think I would survive 14-18! Trust yourself that she knows right from wrong and things have consequences. That's all you can do. I will tell you I was a very relaxed mom. My daughter had friends whose mother's were so strict and naive that when they got a little time away from there parents...they went wild. You got this but still sending prayers ❤
Yes, can we get more vlogs and day in the life videos please? I really enjoyed this video 💐 it's always a pleasure to talk with you in this way. I hope things work out well for you, and you get the break you need soon. A such an amazing mom Tiffany, and I think your mom goals are reasonable and good. Love ya, and take good care 😊
I feel like the only safe bet would be to have a relative stay with your teen or have them stay at their house but it's honestly a gamble either way lol. No one can parent the way you do or know what to expect like you do. My mom is lucky lol I tell her that she had it easy with me.
Hey Tiffany I feel you It’s quite normal what your feeling They can be a worry for sure 😢 There’s no easy answer I feel like your a concerned mom who went thru raising your children alone and you don’t want that struggle to happen to her So you are doing great and you did not talk our ear off I’m so glad you have us to talk to Everyone needs someone to vent There’s people who have no one 😔 We’re here for you Prayers for Caiman 🙏 n you ❤️
My daughter was so bad when she was a teenager she was doing drugs and lied to me I thought she was so sweet but behind my back she was something else she put me in jail for slapping her in the face and did the most and I had 4other kids to take care of I feel you I know what you are going through I'm going to be praying for you and your family 🙏💗
Hey Tiffany. While I can relate to you, I just wanna let you know how blessed you are. I suffer from infertility and can’t have kids. Shoutout to you for being a great mom and best of luck to you with Kya ❤
Prayers for Caymen and for you to keep doing what your doing. You are a GREAT MOM!!! We all go through rough ups and downs. I have an auldt daughter and 2 adult sons. The older one is married and they will be parents in March 2024. They will always remain your babies in your heart no matter what age. Love ya Tiffany ❤😊
Tiffany you are doing great. As you said, your life is on hold. My kids are grown, I am a grandmother. I didn’t leave my kids either. My kids now have teenagers. Stay strong!!
Tiffany, it sounds like you are doing things right. Your children are very lucky to have you and they know you will be there. Sometimes you do need time for yourself even if for a day or night. I hope you find a way. Your day will come.
I don’t think you’re overthinking it at all. And what comes to mind for me is a church youth group. I’m a mom of 3 but mine are babies. Wish you the best!
It’s some scary n inappropriate things that can n have taken place in churches so be cautious with that
Yes, just hanging out with Tiffany. Tiffany he is in my prayers 🙏. I was also on my own and had a baby at 17. I really enjoy your videos.
Hi Tiffany!! I work from home, have since COVID. Where I work we make gas perm and custom soft contacts lenses, so I talk to eye Drs all day long and their offices. I take orders, discuss products, lenses, many others things. I've been there almost 28 years! I love working from home, I do online orders all day too that the drscplace on our website. I talk to many of the same people quite often. Love it. ❤
Great video. I have three adult son’s still living at home which I don’t mind at all but sometimes I just can’t express how I feel about certain things that is happening in their life because they get so upset with me. I just pray that they hear me and understand that I am still their mom looking out for them and I always will. It’s just what mom’s do. You are doing a great job…parenting is the hardest job ever with no instructions. We all learn as we grow.
Tiffany I would like to see you get your hair cut like you did in the summer I don’t know if this summer or the one before but I think that was the prettiest your hair has ever been..I am a mother of three men and always always pray pray over them…blessings
Hi Tiffany. That salad 🥗 looks delicious 😋. I had my daughter at 19 year's old. And when she turned 18 I let her go to College. Just vlog what you do. And what ever you feel that is more timaly for you. Just pop in and talk to us. We all are here for you. I will be praying for your son. God Bless you and stay safe. Hugs. Maria. 😋😋🥗🥗😷😷🌨️❄️🤗❤️🤗❤️👍👍👋👋👋👋
I feel you Tiffany stay strong you’re doing a great job. Don’t let anyone make you feel like you are nothing because you are everything.
Girl we are literally living the same life and not far from each other lol. I’m in Charlotte NC, 39, my daughter is 18. I feel you. I work from home since pandemic and now permanently. Love these talk videos. You should have a meet and greet at a nice restaurant or lounge…. How fun would that be!!!
Tiffany, prayers for Caymen and his buddies. 🙏 When you talk to him, let him know that we all appreciate their sacrifices. Because without these young men and women, there would be no freedom for any of us. We are very grateful for all of them. ❤
As for your videos, I love to watch any and all types of your videos. Cleaning, chatting, cooking, and especially the Dollar Tree hauls! I love to travel just like you! I would travel every week if I could afford it! I also like to stay at different hotels in different places. It is sooo fun and relaxing! I keep a backpack bag ready at all times with pretty much everything I need for traveling except my clothes and snacks! 😂 You need to destess... go to your room and close the door. Turn on some of your favorite music or just read a book. It will help. I love just going to the bedroom and closing the door and listen to my 🎶. Stay warm and safe travels. 😊
I would definitely say that I feel the same I don't want my sons to have kids before they graduate , I would just say just try to make sure to find time to talk to all of them separately just about life and things mine is 13 and I just try and make sure I explain things as much as I can because i was one who never got taught anything about life it has really made it hard for me. So just teaching them about life and how to deal with hard times love u girl praying for Caymen
You're doing a GREAT JOB You're a GREAT MOTHER 🙏
Tiffany your Children show in what they are choosing in life by what type of Mom that you have been and are. You are doing a great job just keep on keeping on little Momma❤️. I have followed you for years and have never not liked one video that you have shared. You have made me laugh when I was so depressed and then there shave been times that I have cried for you . Yes share your travel’s absolutely. Maybe not a babysitter for teenagers but maybe a Chasity belt for a daughter lol. This coming from one that also had a Child at 17 years old and I was a good girl as so many are just curious and thought that I was in love forever of course. Love you and always in my prayers sweetheart.
Hang in there, girl! You are a great mom. I am a Mom of two boys, 16 and 24. My oldest has been my biggest struggle. He needed a babysitter when he was a teenager, Lol! I love him so much, but he gave me a lot of gray hair. Thank goodness his little brother is completely the opposite. He is very relaxed. He is more worried about working and making money on his off time from school than running around. Every kid is different and test their parents' limits. You need to find some local moms and start a moms group that gets together a couple times a month to just vent. I hope you get to travel a lot of places this year. I will be praying for you and Cayman. I love all your videos but I really enjoy your cleaning videos and would love to see some organization videos. Those videos relax me.
What about family help. And you can help each other. Also supervised activities like sports dance etc… You are absolutely doing the right thing Tiffany! Stay strong 🙏🏻❤️
You are doing great as a mom. It has been trial and error for all of us. You will do what is best for each of them and they will make you proud. Prayers for Cayman and you.
Keep the vids coming. We will enjoy anything you decide to share. ❤
Totally agree. Teenagers need their parents involved in their lives!! Try making friends with your teens parents. Get on the same page. Know what they allow in their home. Made me feel more comfortable when my daughter was in a home where the parents had similar values.
Great video! ❤
sending prayers for your bless son....you have to be proud of him.
I do not work from home. I’m a plant grower so I need to be there with my plants. I do eat in my car, but it gets messy. As for teenagers, girl I just went thru that with my son and it was quite a challenge. I feel you with finding yourself, it’s a journey. My son did a program thru the Red Cross, it’s called the gap program for people aged 18-24, he got to move to Colorado and live in the most beautiful mountains I’ve ever seen. I’ve gotten to make new friendships and spend time with my other lady friends like never before. I feel like I’m finally coming into my true self, I hope that for you too.
I remember you dreaming of opening a bed and breakfast. Have you ever thought of spending stay- cations at those? Just as you told Caymen, you do your best. I have been through the trying to look at your kids as adults and not kids. You know your children best. It's great you're taking strides to figure things out for yourself when your doing more things on your own, for sure find your tribe! You're a great Mother Tiffany!!!!
Tiffany! I feel you so much, I have three teen daughters ages, 16, 14,13 and there are days I just don’t know what to do. I tell my girls, “I was your age once, I been there and done all the things you’re trying to do!” Hahahah! I definitely try not to be naive, I think I can trust my kids when it comes to things but I ALWAYS keep my guard up! I’m praying for ya mama! Thanks for making this video, nice to know I’m not alone 😂
I understand exactly how you feel. I was a single parent as well. I only had one she had to be left along often while I worked. I talked to her a lot about things that could happen. I caught her a couple of times in compromising situations and it hurt my heart. But there were things I couldn't teach her that she had to learn on her own. Thankfully, she was 39 years old when she had her first child. Now she is 45 with 2 boys 9 and 6. I always let her know that I was available to talk to about anything, even the hard😮 subjects. So If you have a decent relationship with her friend's parents, I would talk to them about Kyla spending time at their house so she could spend time at their house sometime. This would give you a chance to get to know yourself and take a break. I use to bring up things that I knew she had questions to open the lines of communication. Teenagers are so easily embarrassed. They will get information from kids their own age and most of the time it's incorrect information. Try not to wait until she's done something to correct her. Be proactive.
I hope this helps at least a little bit.
Good luck and God bless
I have friend that so mirrors your life on many levels. She like you is very strong willed and determined to get her kids grown and be that teen sitter lol for the neighborhood. She made it and I know you will too on this last stretch
I LOVE these videos!! I also used to enjoy the clean with me videos. You are doing an amazing job with your kiddos as a single parent. Better than alot of households that have 2 parents. Done ever second guess how your doing because you are knocking it out of the park girlfriend! We can all see how much your kids love & respect you. Keep up the good work! ❤
You are an amazing mom. I can just tell. Your kids are a representation of you, and they represent you well. You are doing great. ❤ I have 4 kids under 10 and you inspire me.
Hi Tiffany - Love your videos !! Wanted to let you know that I was a sort of babysitter for teenagers. What happened is that the parents hired me to do some household chores AND to keep an eye on their kids. Sometimes I did go over in the evenings and "hang out" with the kids as sort of a big sister. It was great for me and the kids told me that they liked it too and the parents had peace of mind. - Good luck. Donna
You’re an amazing mom woman and beautiful soul. ❤
I work from home as a full time content creator, plus model. Prayers for Cayman. Happy 21st Birthday to Cash. I love that he wants to go with you to a nice lounge. My husband’s birthday is on Saturday. Yes to eating in the car and others as well. Malta 🇲🇹 sounds absolutely amazing. Before Covid my husband and I did a different place once a month and it was INCREDIBLE. Life is a beautiful blessing. I might be doing a girls trip to NYC come with us. Love and Light Tiffany!!! Yes travel and embrace each and everyday. Travel is the best xx
Tiffany I’m a single mom to three teenagers and let me tell you I am going through it with my 15 year old! This video spoke to me and let me know I’m not alone! Love ya girl!
I thought of a vlog to appreciate all that you do and ask your viewers what items you have recommended that we all use and love.Or what tips you gave out that you blessed us by because u deserve a Tiffany appreciation day !and I think it would be good to know how much u bless people with your videos.❤
Dearest Tiffany, my son went through the same thing. The Army takes good care of their soldiers ❤️ After the service, he went to College for criminal law, and then into the police academy, where he has been a Police Officer for many years. They get great benefits. He’s getting ready to retire at 54….I know, a mom will always worry…sending prayers to you and your sweet family🙏🏻 you have been the best mother ever💕
