Cheer up Sis! You do everything to make them babies happy! I'm sure it is hard for Dejah. First year in high school,new state,I really thought it would be harder for Yanna since she's a senior,but Dejah is smart, cute,and funny so its hard to tell she's sad,we just see a fun time from you guys! Maybe spend some one on one time to talk,lunch,walk together with out the camera just you two to see how Dejah is feeling ,and what can be done to help! I just did the same with my 7th grader, and decided to enroll her in a online charter school. Like you JaVonne I want what's best, and to see my baby happy! I don't know if that's what right for you but you are close with your girls,so I'm sure you'll be able to sort things out because home is wherever your family is ,and yours is a beautiful one! You are doing a great job never doubt it! Dejah,you're a talented pretty, smart young woman!! You are also strong black woman in training, some days are harder than others but never forget that YOU ARE BLESSED, to have both of your parents alive,and healthy sisters,and brothers who love you,family is sooo important!! You have a pretty home, clothes, your own room, a highly successful channel, you are a self made business woman already, what in the world should you be sad about? Baby girl get up, look in the mirror,and tell GOD THANK YOU FATHER FOR EVERYTHING, cause he hook you up girl! be blessed family,see you on the next one!
She may have all that but just because you have everything and are blessed doesnt mean you cant be depressed.. People need to realise depression is a real thing.
I didn't at any point say that depression wasn't real! I went by what her Mom said that she didn't feel that's what is was! Im 41 years of age and seen a lot! I know mental illness is A REAL THING! In this blog here, Javonne said she"didn't didn't feel it was depression" so she must don't display signs of it! She seems to be homesick! And like I said its a lot on a girl if her age to have so many changes at such a crucial time in her life! I also mentioned maybe she should spend aome alone time with her daughter to get to the bottom of it! Im not a psychiatrist, just a mother of a teen girl who going through a lot worse than Dejah seems to be! I know a lot about depression, seen it right in my face! I just wanted to give a fellow parent some support if you don't mind!
Hi, I’m a silent watcher I’ve been here from the very beginning and I’ve been watching Dejah for the longest! Seeing the process of you and your family’s move was very draining and exciting. Well, that’s what I got from the vlogs. I have noticed a difference in Dejah since the move (Yes I’m aware we don’t know what happens off camera). But I just want to say depression doesn’t mean you have to droop around and frown and never want to socialize all the time. Believe me, my older sister has Depression and she definitely has mood swings. She can go from this happy bubbly person to sad and closed off real quick. So I’d just try to keep that in mind with Dejah. I’m not saying she is depressed, but depression isn’t always noticeable. Not only that, moving is a VERY hard process especially when you’ve lived somewhere your entire life and you have to readjust. You are such an amazing mom and you are so open with your children and you talk to them so I’m sure Dejah will be okay I’d just try to stay more aware with her actions❤️
Honestly, I think she just needs time to adjust. I was just like that when I moved away from my family and it was just me and my mom to a different state. Eventually, she will grow to be happier, just like I did. I’m a new subscriber and I’ve been binge watching all of your videos lol, Sending love & positivity your way! ❤️
personally, I think you should take what dejah said about her being depressed more seriously. Just watching her tell her side of the story, you could see her eyes tearing up. That should be an indicator itself that something is going on instead of just writing it off as she's just being dramatic.
simon freela that’s what I said and she said you can see dejah haven’t been depressed well some of us are good with hiding it..I’m sorry, not trying to pull the race card but everytime I see a African American female say she’s depressed she gets called dramatic 🤔
Miss Bando I know you commented about this a year ago the reason behind that is black woman ( dark skin woman specifically) are depicted as strong (physically and mentally), independent so when we show any signs of “weakness” depression, suicidal tendencies, sadness ( negative emotions in general) we are told were being dramatic and to get over it because its not serious and or it’s all in our head. I hope this answered your question
It will get better i moved from Ohio with 3 children years ago to Virginia, they were in elementary and middle school. They Thank me all the time now for moving it's hard in the beginning but it will get better they are all grown now and have really good careers. She will be fine it's Still new. I think leaving ohio was a good move because I'm from their if you want better we sometimes have to make those hard decisions for our children. I Thank God daily for my 2 grown adult sons not sure i would have had this turn out if i hadn't left. Don't feel guilty you are an awesome Mom and want what's best for them. 🙏
I understand how you feel..me and family just moved again and I still feel bad for taking them away from what they know...but sometimes we gotta do what's best for them..I think she will eventually get used to it and start loving Florida...prayers to you and to Dejah ❤
I know the feeling I miss my friends from back home but I know this move was for the better. My mom would usually send me some encouraging words thur out the day or we’ll have mommy daughter time
You gotta realize that you’ve spent the last half of your life, living and breathing to make sure that these 5 humans were happy... and you decide to do one thing that will make you happy. it’s ok to do stuff for yourself. It doesn’t make you selfish, or a bad mom. it is probably really hard for deja to adjust rn but Florida is probably where she’ll go to college, meet some of her best friends, and even marry. She’ll then be so thankful that you made the wonderful decision you did. Suggest that you read Jeremiah 29:11 With deja. It may encourage her and reassure her that god has it all worked out. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'm right there with you sis. We moved a year ago and the kids remind me every day how I took them from there friends. I try to tell them it's for better opportunity but they dont understand that and being the caring loving moms we are, it does get to us to see them like that. You hang in there, she will come around.
Ja'Vonne. Thanks for sharing, this video with us. As a parent, myself. Every parent/parent's know their child. Am glad you are not in denial, what the Teacher said. As a Teacher myself. I been teaching for 30 plus year's. Started teaching in my early Twenties. I love what I do, and some of the student's in my class, talk to much, and some have attitudes. So am glad, you listen to both sides. Again as a parent/parent's we all want the very best for our children. You, and your husband are doing a wonderful job. The children have a beautiful home. Thanks again.
I wish the best for you and your beautiful family. You're an awesome mom. I'm a mom too & grandmom, I understand how you feel. Maybe have a one on one serious talk with your daughter. I'm not saying in no way at all that she's depressed. Keep in mind depression comes in so many different ways. Laughing & smiling for awhile & sad depressed the next. Maybe just have that talk just you and her just to be sure to absolutely rule it out. I pray for the best for her, you and your lovely family. Continued Blessings.🙏💕 Btw, try not to feel bad bc I'm sure when you moved, you weren't only thinking of yourself, I'm sure you were thinking of the best for your kids. xoxo
It not your fault just make sure she doesn't come down with depression because I moved from New York to North Carolina . And away from all my family. When you asked her if she was depression and she told you, you should get her help because my mom said I wasn't depression but then it got bad. Some kids can hide there depression from there parents because we are afraid to tell you guys. But maybe you should plan a trip for you guys to go to Ohio for a week or weekend. Love you guys
Javonne with all due respect Dejah could be depressed. I am vary similar to dejah. Last year a big sudden environment change happened to me and I became so depressed missing people. But I never showed how sad I was to anyone my family thought I was happy and didn’t see any big emotion change. But I would cry out of no where when I was alone. And was unhappy.
I know you love your kids and would do anything for them. Dejah is a teen and is going through things teens go through. Sure, moving is stressful and I know she misses her friends but I truly believe she would have ups and downs in Ohio as well. I know you and Cleveland will always be there for all of your kids and give them the support and encouragement they need. And I know your kids know how much they are loved. Dejah is going through an adjustment but life is full of those and she will be fine. 💜
I love your family and it's show that's just because you put your life in front of people they still don't know everything about your life thank you for showing that
i meannn Dejah can be depressed🤷🏾♀️. she is a goofy person just like me, but i have depression & not everyone realizes it because i’m a goofy person. my family moved to Virginia the beginning of my sophomore year of high school & i fell apart. im a junior now & i still hate it
I thoroughly enjoyed your little talk about parenting struggles. I think this is the first time I've ever seen you open up like that. It's very comforting because I am 37, with 6 kids, American but living in Bermuda and many times we thought about coming back home to the US. But, I want the best for my kids. I can relate to how you feel. I have a 16yr old and 13yr old who are homeschooled. It's not easy manoeuvring through life, trying to stay happy and keep those around you happy as well.
It's hard to please our kids sometimes, I'm sure you understand her feelings but it's all apart of life is an adjustment. All yall had to adjust she will to and will be ok. Javonn you are a great mom and Dejah knows that. Heck we see that. Love yall great video.
She’s just growing up and dealing with being a girl/teenager. I remember when I was 14 I thought my life was sooooo hard....we live and learn. You just keep being an awesome mom ❤️
Aww I feel bad for dejah . I’ve been here long enough to know she’s not the one to cry because of things so I felt really bad when you told us she was crying. But there are better days to come and things will get better I love you guys and stay strong javonne💕
Homeschooling has its negatives and positives. Negatives: No social interaction, harder to get into colleges without any extra curricular like sports or band, and also a parent has to take out a lot of time to help the child with it and Javoone has to worry about her youtube channel too, Positives:No teachers to nag at you I think the negatives out weights the positives, trust me I know a bad teacher when I see one in on my second year at university but you just have to learn to deal with it because at the end of the day we will not always be comfortable in situations. My mother always told me to look at it as you will never have to take that teacher again once you finish. I hope all goes well for Dejah because freshman year can be a stressful time, And good luck to you in homeschooling. Sorry for the essay lol.
@@chuyh5247 not all homeschooling is like that re your negatives. My two children homeschool. It's online and i don't have to spend time with them. They have access to their teacher if they need help. No social interaction? My kids go sailing. There's also many other classes such as swimming, tennis, golf, basketball AND SO MUCH MORE that the children can do during school hours or after school as extracurricular.
@@laikahmom yeah but that is only if you have money to spend on it. Stuff like that isn't cheap. Most sports clubs cost more than 1500 dollars. Homeschooling isn't really practical for people who don't have money to spend on sports.
I felt the same when i moved schools. It’s really hard to adjust to new things. And I was very depressed because of how lonely i felt. Thankfully that school year ended and i got to start fresh in middle school and I’m so glad i moved because ive met some great people! It really just takes time.
awww poor dejah :( i 100% believe her and i know how she feels. i moved when i was 11 and i loved the city i lived so much, but i had to move because the schools were better there. i never wanted to go because i missed my friends so much, it's so much harder here because everyone is white and it's extremely hard since there's so much racism in my city. i luckily found great people there still, and I've lived here for almost four years now. i used to think that i was depressed as well once i moved to my new school, but i was beng dramatic. i really hope dejah gets better because i understand how she's feeling so much, i used to cry a lot because i hated my school so much, but i'm a freshman now like dejah and the high school i'm in now is much better than the middle school, and i became more confident and i feel like i can finally find my place now. love you javonne and dejah
Wow Javonne it's refreshing to see a parent that cares and is concerned about how their kids feel when the adults make life changing decisions like moving... My folks would of just moved us and wouldn't have cared about friends or our adjustment to the new environment...I hope to have the type of understanding and open relationship with my son as he gets older that you have with your kids
I recently move away from all my friends too for my freshman year and I always wanted to move back and I actually fell into depression but no one in my family noticed because I would try to hide all the crying and sadness from them so yea just because you can’t see it doesn’t mean it’s not happening🤷♀️ ly guys tho❤️
Dejah has the full potential and personality to really blossom in FL she is such a cool kid, as a substitute teacher tho you really have to watch theses teachers because some of them really there for that check You'd be amazed at how many I've met.. A conference with the 3 or 4(Cleveland) of you would be great. It's the most uneasy feeling ever when your children display unhappiness. You're a great mom I'm sure u will figure it out. I pray Dejah finds her place in her new area. We love u Dej❤️
My mom did the same thing with us. When I was just starting Middle and my older brother started HS. It was hard at first but we adjusted and we were better off bc of it. Sometimes change is good. It puts everyone in a different perspective. I’m not saying where you were was bad but where we were was and I was so angry for the first year and my older brother was so angry that we left our cousins and friends but we all got over it and we love the South now. I know she’ll be fine. It’ll make your children closer even thought I feel like they are close now. It made a difference bc we experienced way more. 💕 love your family!
Awww Dejah😔. I really do hope things get better for her❤️. I really hate seeing people upset especially people I care about. As always , sending love your way! Love you all 💖
You made a great choice in a lovely home and nurturing environment for your family it’s normal for the kids to feel down especially with teachers it takes time to adjust and always remember they can visit their friends in the summer or friends can visit them. You are an amazing loving mom much admired by your followers I never met you and I always look forward to watching the videos you all put out on UA-cam. May god bless and keep you when’re you doubt yourself. 👏🏽🙏🏾
I loved Niya’s book review at the beginning. My 11 year old loves to read and I was talking to her about doing some. I understand how you’re feeling about making decisions and making sure your babies are happy. I go back and forth with myself about rather moving was the right choice all the time, but it had opened up so many opportunities. 💜💜
I don't smoke or drink ethier. Just stay on top of deja Evonne. Just to make sure she's ok we lose so many over depression. We all want the best for our kids so I definitely understand oam gonna keep you all in my prayers. That's Santa bag is oh so cute OMG women o can't go a day without turtles.. Love you all.. Everyone have a blessed day...
I’m 14 and I recently moved to a new school district which means new high school with new people. At first it was really hard and I had a little bit of depression but I didn’t won’t my mom to know so I hid it. Long story short after a few months of being in the new school district I got use to it and my depression slowly left. My momma was just like you, she was scared that she had made the wrong decision but now we all are happy. Dejah is going to be okay, if might take a while but just have patience with her.
i love my her so much she is a really sweet & outgoing person and I haven’t even met her yet you have an amazing daughter,& I love how she loves to read books 🥰🥰
You made the right decision! I love you soooo much! Dejah is going to eventually get use to the Floridian Pride!!! It just going to take some time for her to adjust! I’m SUBCRIBED to ALL of you guys UA-cam’s and I absolutely enjoy all of the videos that are uploaded!😘!!! Keep your head up girl!! You got this!!
*Omg Sis I felt the same way when we moved to Nevada from California! I was the only one geared to do this and wished for years to be here! Like it's my Honeymoon state and place I got married! I felt in my heart it was the best move for my family! The move was exciting but only A few of my kids were amped... But then they start missing friends, hard time adapting at new schools, also the school work was more advanced than California! Which in the long run is good but a challenge at first. So it was a few stages we went through! Eventually the kids were poppin with new friends and got the hang of things here. Now they ask me never to move lol. It's a transition stage going through to get to! Hopefully her bestie can visit in the summer and keep praying Im Praying for a Breakthrough spiritually, mentally, physically, and financially for all in your home! New ideas and closeness like never before! I pray the conference helps the teacher understand and Dejah can overcome this short setback swiftly! Cause we know she strive for excellence in school always have always will! Love yall so and when you taking us to the beaches sis. We need a beach tour seeing the beaches of Florida! Hopefully some Pizza will make her Night!! 🍕 🌙*
You all are an amazing family..Dejah may just be homesick, I know it’s hard to get used to but she will eventually..I’m praying for dejah and your family ❤️👌🏽
Girl, enjoying your videos so much, thank you for the hair and lift updates. Please call and make an appointment to see the teacher. I teach and if I call home I’ve exhausted my options and need help. Dejha will be okay too, she’s hormonal and she does have to adjust. She knows you love her and only want the best for your family. These life lessons are just that to teach us. Be strong sis.
You are a great mother!! Everything will adjust eventually. You do everything for your kids they have what they need . I’m sorry you are sad & just know I’m praying for everything to change 💙 I love you guys
Dejah will be just fine. You made the move to give your family a better living!! You guys have a nice house, each child has their own room ....y’all DONT have to deal with snow. I can’t wait to move from NY and be able to show my kids a different kind of living.
My mom moved my sister and I when I was a freshman. (my sister was a junior). We ABSOLUTELY HATED IT. My mom felt the same way you do. Second guessing her decision. But dad respected her decision and was on board. Long story short within months we settled in. With the love of prayer we began to love the decision. I hope everything works out for you guys. 😍💕
I’m not a mother or anything, but I know you’re just trying your best as a mother to make sure your kids receive the best education! My cousins who lived in Minnesota all her life had to move to California because of her the new job opportunity! We were all upset about it, and originally my cousins hated the new adjustments but about a year or two in, they began to love California! I suggest a one one with Dejah and figuring out how she’s feeling and what it is she wants.
Awwwww don’t beat yourself up. Change is hard to adjust to and sometimes it takes a few years and time. Dejah it will get better luv! Maybe you can surprise her and bring a bestie to Florida during their winter break. She misses her friends, I know that feeling oh so well!!
I use the same container for my oldest sons lunch and he loves it. I know the move was a major move for the family and Dejah’s definitely is homesick and as silly as it sounds I stay homesick because we move every 3 years so we basically have to start over and it definitely takes a toll on my grade school son, he always has this period of acting out but he always bounces back just tell Deja’s to keep her head up and stay resilient. She’ll look back and appreciate the move down the line. We are not claiming depression however I know what it looks like maybe see if you can find some extra activities to keep her busy.
Javonne you have good kids, and you and Cleveland are amazing parents. Moving is hard, especially for kids. Dejah is probably still adjusting, she’s going to be ok! Sending you all some hugs!
You are AN AWESOMEEE MOM !! I see a lot of myself in Dejah because I talked a lot in class and was a class clown but I got my work done and my mom never really got upset about because my grades were excellent but just me talking in class .
I'm a junior in college, from East Cleveland and now live in Virginia since about 8th grade. My entire family is from Ohio and I have absolutely no family here besides my parents and recently my cousin who moved with my parents for grad school. Anyway.. I felt the exact same way as Dejah when we moved. I hated it here. I missed my family. I didnt see why my parents wanted to come here. The reason why, they got government jobs in DC and wanted to escape the crime back home. Long story short I think she will probably be like me. It took me forever to start to appreciate the move and even though I dont plan to stay here after school, I am still grateful for the decision they made, that I couldn't see the benefit in before. I think she'll come around or atleast start to understand. Ps. I love watching yall. Yall remind me of how my family used to act with each other and most days yall videos make me feel a little happier.
Awww don’t feel bad! I have very young kids and we been through some transitions and it wasn’t easy for them but they got through it! so Imagine a teenager who is very hormonal... It will take time and she will be ok you are doing a good job with your children. Keep up the good work! I love your family vlogs ❤️
I watch your videos because of your spirit your a great mom and I know Dejah will adjust it just takes time I live in Alabama now but I moved to Lorain Ohio in 2000 and I hated it at first but it grew on me, love you guys it will all work out
I have been watching your videos for some time, I don't have kids but I know it's about adjustment. You are a beautiful mom and your doing what's best for them, I will always admire you for that, a supportive husband and beautiful kids, your the mom and the one in charge do what you think is best for them, when I was coming up we moved from a place we had no idea that would become bad years later, my mom saw things we couldn't see as a child, trust me years from now, they will thank you for all the decisions you have made on their behalf. Change is always good....she will adjust trust me.
don’t feel like you were in the wrong mama. my mom was in the same position. we came from new jersey and it was hard for us to adjust. but we gave it some time and it’s honestly the best thing for us. new jersey is so different now so its such a good thing. yes i miss my friends and family but its the best thing atm, and ive made new friends i wouldnt wanna leave. youre a good mama, and you make ME proud imagine your kids
She going to get use of it in time she's just at that stage of not knowing what to do, I remembered having that issue when I kept moving and moving. Her being a teen with periods, stuff that's also probably changing her emotions as well. I love ya family so much😍😘
I know how Deja’s feeling. When my mom said that we were moving to Mississippi I was not having it. I had moved from my home town were all my friends were (Pennsylvania) then we were back and forth from north and South Carolina. And a lot of things happens between them that had me even more sad and mad. So I really wanted everything to go back to normal. Even tho I have close friends down here and kinda adjusted, I still wish I could go back to Pennsylvania. Even if it’s just to visit.
love ur vids you inspire me so much ur family is so funny and i watch all ur videos and they jus make me laugh so hard cuz y’all be sayin some funny stuff
from elementary to middle school, I moved. So the summer between 6th and 7th, my mom made me go to a middle school in the city we lived in rather than the school I went to, two cities away. It was so hard to adjust, and honestly I never did, and I'm applying for grad schools now. when you transfer to like middle schools and high schools, it's hella hard because friendships are already made and established. and it's difficult to break into those, if you're not that kind of person. tell dejah to join clubs, as ways to meet people and not think about her old school as much.
Me as a teenager I have moved from school to school and not all the times do I find friends at the school and it’s hard to fit in and find friends because not all people are the same and yes it tends to change you and the way you act but you are a great mother and keep your head up!!!
Even though Dejah doesn’t look so seem depressed when she’s around you it doesn’t mean she’s not feeling depressed. Someone could seem like the happiest person in the world on the outside but end up being the ones to commit suicide. Now I’m not saying it’s that extreme for Dejah but I dont think you should just write it off as her being dramatic. Try to get her to open up because most times the person is too afraid to say something.
I can relate to what dejah going thru i felt the same way when i moved to a different place to live im still learning to get adjusting to it going take sometime but i think you will eventually like it i hope you feel better just think you have a great family that loves you and wants the best for you i know you didn't want to move sometimes you have do stuff you don't want to do i love you guys have a bless day btw im not make anyone feel bad cheer up -Taylor💜
The worst thing you could’ve done in this type of situation is dismissing how she was feeling or what she had said..even if you were joking..i went through the same thing with my parents when i came out to them about being depressed and having suicidal thoughts even though my mom got me temporary therapy i never opened up to them again off the simple fact that they dismissed how i felt and laughed because they had the mindset that because i was 18 i had nothing to be sad or uncomfortable about..as a mother the best thing you can and should do is talk to her, listen & figure out how y’all can get through this patch in a positive way.
I know I’m late but when I was 7 or 8 my mom chose to move my two siblings and I out of the south side of Chicago. At the time that was all I knew gunshots, gangs and drugs. I was leaving a place that wasn’t good for me but at the time I didn’t understand that. I was upset to leave something I was used to. It wasn’t until I got to high school that I realized why my mother did what she did. I say all of this because although you may not like where you are at right now just know that God has you there for a reason. Whether it’s to learn a lesson or to set you up for a bright future, God is putting you through this for a GOOD reason. Keep your head up, don’t let your crown tilt. ❤️
In the latter part you sound muffley like you’ve been crying.. HUGS*** Your doing the best you can with what you know!! She won’t be in school forever! I honestly look up to you, your so calm, cool & collective. That’s saying something!!!
Well personally, I don’t think Dejah’s being dramatic. Moving is hard and I know what she’s feeling. It’s hard to leave a place and people you’ve known for big part of your life growing up.
Hey Jay von this is Gloria Gandy I was just saw your video about your daughter Deja coming home and telling her side of the story I’m just letting you know do not let your kids make you feel guilty for moving to Florida that was your decision and they have to learn how to adjust to whatever is going on and I understand I have five children two of them are grown but I’m just letting you know that she’s going to have to learn how to adjust to anything that goes on . It is one of the things that she has it just to for example she’ll be graduating from high school soon as she has said yes to a new environment going to college so at the end of the day she has a lot of adjusting to do in her life so she might as will get used to it now don’t feel bad about it your beautiful mom
Auntie dont stress yourself over little things that will soon passover or can be handled in a second. I dont know if i told you but i just lost my aunt in October, today was her funeral , but she passed away from stress. Im glad you have a nice way of dealing with your stress. Try to see if theres anything to do to bring Ohio to dejah. I know how she feels , maybe go there for thanksgiving
I feel you on wanting your kids to be happy! It hurts us more than it hurts them! In the end I think she will be alright! She just needs a little more time to adjust!
I don’t think dejah is depressed I think she’s just having a hard time coping. And this move is a loss for her it’s all new. Have patience and encourage her to keep herself busy and find some friends like her. It took me till the last 2 years of high school to like where my mom moved us to so never say never! Encourage her to stay hopeful you never know why God placed you where you are
Cheer up Sis! You do everything to make them babies happy! I'm sure it is hard for Dejah. First year in high school,new state,I really thought it would be harder for Yanna since she's a senior,but Dejah is smart, cute,and funny so its hard to tell she's sad,we just see a fun time from you guys! Maybe spend some one on one time to talk,lunch,walk together with out the camera just you two to see how Dejah is feeling ,and what can be done to help! I just did the same with my 7th grader, and decided to enroll her in a online charter school. Like you JaVonne I want what's best, and to see my baby happy! I don't know if that's what right for you but you are close with your girls,so I'm sure you'll be able to sort things out because home is wherever your family is ,and yours is a beautiful one! You are doing a great job never doubt it! Dejah,you're a talented pretty, smart young woman!! You are also strong black woman in training, some days are harder than others but never forget that YOU ARE BLESSED, to have both of your parents alive,and healthy sisters,and brothers who love you,family is sooo important!! You have a pretty home, clothes, your own room, a highly successful channel, you are a self made business woman already, what in the world should you be sad about? Baby girl get up, look in the mirror,and tell GOD THANK YOU FATHER FOR EVERYTHING, cause he hook you up girl! be blessed family,see you on the next one!
She may have all that but just because you have everything and are blessed doesnt mean you cant be depressed.. People need to realise depression is a real thing.
I didn't at any point say that depression wasn't real! I went by what her Mom said that she didn't feel that's what is was! Im 41 years of age and seen a lot! I know mental illness is A REAL THING! In this blog here, Javonne said she"didn't didn't feel it was depression" so she must don't display signs of it! She seems to be homesick! And like I said its a lot on a girl if her age to have so many changes at such a crucial time in her life! I also mentioned maybe she should spend aome alone time with her daughter to get to the bottom of it! Im not a psychiatrist, just a mother of a teen girl who going through a lot worse than Dejah seems to be! I know a lot about depression, seen it right in my face! I just wanted to give a fellow parent some support if you don't mind!
I love your videos 😘😘😘😘🥰😍☺️

Hi, I’m a silent watcher I’ve been here from the very beginning and I’ve been watching Dejah for the longest! Seeing the process of you and your family’s move was very draining and exciting. Well, that’s what I got from the vlogs. I have noticed a difference in Dejah since the move (Yes I’m aware we don’t know what happens off camera). But I just want to say depression doesn’t mean you have to droop around and frown and never want to socialize all the time. Believe me, my older sister has Depression and she definitely has mood swings. She can go from this happy bubbly person to sad and closed off real quick. So I’d just try to keep that in mind with Dejah. I’m not saying she is depressed, but depression isn’t always noticeable. Not only that, moving is a VERY hard process especially when you’ve lived somewhere your entire life and you have to readjust. You are such an amazing mom and you are so open with your children and you talk to them so I’m sure Dejah will be okay I’d just try to stay more aware with her actions❤️
Depression can be hidden in many different ways please please don’t underestimate it
Icey Mesha yes! I hide my emotions very well while deep down inside I’m unhappy and miserable. The times to yourself is when you realize it all.
Icey Mesha yasssss.... omg!! I just said this:" DEPRESSION and ANXIETY is the second leadin cause of death, now days!"
She probably wast she probably knows her kid
honestly.
You can hide it. But not EVERYTHING is depression. People use that for multiple things like anxiety, or more than one problem.
Don’t be upset, she’s homesick. Maybe you can plan a trip back to Ohio , so she can see her friends.
I agree because it looks like she really is homesick
I agree with you to thats a really smart ideal destiny Robinson
Honestly, I think she just needs time to adjust. I was just like that when I moved away from my family and it was just me and my mom to a different state. Eventually, she will grow to be happier, just like I did. I’m a new subscriber and I’ve been binge watching all of your videos lol, Sending love & positivity your way! ❤️
Same. I was homesick for a while but it got better! Im still adjusting with all my friends and family in another state far away
personally, I think you should take what dejah said about her being depressed more seriously. Just watching her tell her side of the story, you could see her eyes tearing up. That should be an indicator itself that something is going on instead of just writing it off as she's just being dramatic.
simon freela that’s what I said and she said you can see dejah haven’t been depressed well some of us are good with hiding it..I’m sorry, not trying to pull the race card but everytime I see a African American female say she’s depressed she gets called dramatic 🤔
Miss Bando I know you commented about this a year ago the reason behind that is black woman ( dark skin woman specifically) are depicted as strong (physically and mentally), independent so when we show any signs of “weakness” depression, suicidal tendencies, sadness ( negative emotions in general) we are told were being dramatic and to get over it because its not serious and or it’s all in our head. I hope this answered your question
It will get better i moved from Ohio with 3 children years ago to Virginia, they were in elementary and middle school. They Thank me all the time now for moving it's hard in the beginning but it will get better they are all grown now and have really good careers. She will be fine it's Still new. I think leaving ohio was a good move because I'm from their if you want better we sometimes have to make those hard decisions for our children. I Thank God daily for my 2 grown adult sons not sure i would have had this turn out if i hadn't left. Don't feel guilty you are an awesome Mom and want what's best for them. 🙏
I understand how you feel..me and family just moved again and I still feel bad for taking them away from what they know...but sometimes we gotta do what's best for them..I think she will eventually get used to it and start loving Florida...prayers to you and to Dejah ❤
I know the feeling I miss my friends from back home but I know this move was for the better. My mom would usually send me some encouraging words thur out the day or we’ll have mommy daughter time
You gotta realize that you’ve spent the last half of your life, living and breathing to make sure that these 5 humans were happy... and you decide to do one thing that will make you happy. it’s ok to do stuff for yourself. It doesn’t make you selfish, or a bad mom. it is probably really hard for deja to adjust rn but Florida is probably where she’ll go to college, meet some of her best friends, and even marry. She’ll then be so thankful that you made the wonderful decision you did.
Suggest that you read Jeremiah 29:11
With deja. It may encourage her and reassure her that god has it all worked out. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'm right there with you sis. We moved a year ago and the kids remind me every day how I took them from there friends. I try to tell them it's for better opportunity but they dont understand that and being the caring loving moms we are, it does get to us to see them like that. You hang in there, she will come around.
Stay strong sis, these kids go thru growing pains wherever they are! We just gotta keep em our prayers🙏🏽
Teachers still calling home in high school 🤦🏾♀️😂💀 i gotta side with dejah on this ( that anit it chief)
Stg my teachers do da same thing
I be like “tell my mom I said hi”
Aesthetic Lemons factz 😂😂💀🤷🏽♀️
Ja'Vonne. Thanks for sharing, this video with us. As a parent, myself. Every parent/parent's know their child. Am glad you are not in denial, what the Teacher said. As a Teacher myself. I been teaching for 30 plus year's. Started teaching in my early Twenties. I love what I do, and some of the student's in my class, talk to much, and some have attitudes. So am glad, you listen to both sides. Again as a parent/parent's we all want the very best for our children. You, and your husband are doing a wonderful job. The children have a beautiful home. Thanks again.
I wish the best for you and your beautiful family. You're an awesome mom. I'm a mom too & grandmom, I understand how you feel. Maybe have a one on one serious talk with your daughter. I'm not saying in no way at all that she's depressed. Keep in mind depression comes in so many different ways. Laughing & smiling for awhile & sad depressed the next. Maybe just have that talk just you and her just to be sure to absolutely rule it out. I pray for the best for her, you and your lovely family. Continued Blessings.🙏💕
Btw, try not to feel bad bc I'm sure when you moved, you weren't only thinking of yourself, I'm sure you were thinking of the best for your kids. xoxo
It not your fault just make sure she doesn't come down with depression because I moved from New York to North Carolina . And away from all my family. When you asked her if she was depression and she told you, you should get her help because my mom said I wasn't depression but then it got bad. Some kids can hide there depression from there parents because we are afraid to tell you guys. But maybe you should plan a trip for you guys to go to Ohio for a week or weekend. Love you guys
Javonne with all due respect Dejah could be depressed. I am vary similar to dejah. Last year a big sudden environment change happened to me and I became so depressed missing people. But I never showed how sad I was to anyone my family thought I was happy and didn’t see any big emotion change. But I would cry out of no where when I was alone. And was unhappy.
I know you love your kids and would do anything for them. Dejah is a teen and is going through things teens go through. Sure, moving is stressful and I know she misses her friends but I truly believe she would have ups and downs in Ohio as well. I know you and Cleveland will always be there for all of your kids and give them the support and encouragement they need. And I know your kids know how much they are loved. Dejah is going through an adjustment but life is full of those and she will be fine. 💜
You should do something where you bring out all of dejah's friends for like thanksgiving or Christmas break
Tiana Ross omg that would be so cute!
Thank you soooo much for our gift card
I love your family and it's show that's just because you put your life in front of people they still don't know everything about your life thank you for showing that
Dejahhhhhh lol 😂
Prissy P im always seeing you Prissy lol heyyy gurlllll 😂😘
Weren't you just in Shannon family matters live video too😂
i meannn Dejah can be depressed🤷🏾♀️. she is a goofy person just like me, but i have depression & not everyone realizes it because i’m a goofy person. my family moved to Virginia the beginning of my sophomore year of high school & i fell apart. im a junior now & i still hate it
Madison Honesty I totally agree with you! I don’t know why everyone hates VA tho. I love it lol
TheKerahaan Yeah I like VA too
Madison Honesty I live in va ! I’m ig famous honestly it is what you make it .. and I’ve made the best out of out
Girllll I was born here and I hate va🙄
same people think im not because im always happy
I thoroughly enjoyed your little talk about parenting struggles. I think this is the first time I've ever seen you open up like that. It's very comforting because I am 37, with 6 kids, American but living in Bermuda and many times we thought about coming back home to the US. But, I want the best for my kids. I can relate to how you feel. I have a 16yr old and 13yr old who are homeschooled. It's not easy manoeuvring through life, trying to stay happy and keep those around you happy as well.
Way too excited over the P.O. Box. I love you guys❤️❤️❤️
It's hard to please our kids sometimes, I'm sure you understand her feelings but it's all apart of life is an adjustment. All yall had to adjust she will to and will be ok. Javonn you are a great mom and Dejah knows that. Heck we see that. Love yall great video.
She’s just growing up and dealing with being a girl/teenager. I remember when I was 14 I thought my life was sooooo hard....we live and learn. You just keep being an awesome mom ❤️
Aww I feel bad for dejah . I’ve been here long enough to know she’s not the one to cry because of things so I felt really bad when you told us she was crying. But there are better days to come and things will get better I love you guys and stay strong javonne💕
Why don't you homeschool her? I'm homeschooled and I've improved soo much ! You should definitely consider it.
I wanna be home schooled
Homeschooling has its negatives and positives.
Negatives: No social interaction, harder to get into colleges without any extra curricular like sports or band, and also a parent has to take out a lot of time to help the child with it and Javoone has to worry about her youtube channel too,
Positives:No teachers to nag at you
I think the negatives out weights the positives, trust me I know a bad teacher when I see one in on my second year at university but you just have to learn to deal with it because at the end of the day we will not always be comfortable in situations. My mother always told me to look at it as you will never have to take that teacher again once you finish. I hope all goes well for Dejah because freshman year can be a stressful time, And good luck to you in homeschooling. Sorry for the essay lol.
@@chuyh5247 not all homeschooling is like that re your negatives. My two children homeschool. It's online and i don't have to spend time with them. They have access to their teacher if they need help. No social interaction? My kids go sailing. There's also many other classes such as swimming, tennis, golf, basketball AND SO MUCH MORE that the children can do during school hours or after school as extracurricular.
@@laikahmom yeah but that is only if you have money to spend on it. Stuff like that isn't cheap. Most sports clubs cost more than 1500 dollars. Homeschooling isn't really practical for people who don't have money to spend on sports.
h0nneybun Not to be that one person but that is incorrect. They have FREE homeschool activities? What are you talking about?
I felt the same when i moved schools. It’s really hard to adjust to new things. And I was very depressed because of how lonely i felt. Thankfully that school year ended and i got to start fresh in middle school and I’m so glad i moved because ive met some great people! It really just takes time.
awww poor dejah :( i 100% believe her and i know how she feels. i moved when i was 11 and i loved the city i lived so much, but i had to move because the schools were better there. i never wanted to go because i missed my friends so much, it's so much harder here because everyone is white and it's extremely hard since there's so much racism in my city. i luckily found great people there still, and I've lived here for almost four years now. i used to think that i was depressed as well once i moved to my new school, but i was beng dramatic. i really hope dejah gets better because i understand how she's feeling so much, i used to cry a lot because i hated my school so much, but i'm a freshman now like dejah and the high school i'm in now is much better than the middle school, and i became more confident and i feel like i can finally find my place now. love you javonne and dejah
We're chasing the a easy life....Great vlog keep them coming!!
Wow Javonne it's refreshing to see a parent that cares and is concerned about how their kids feel when the adults make life changing decisions like moving... My folks would of just moved us and wouldn't have cared about friends or our adjustment to the new environment...I hope to have the type of understanding and open relationship with my son as he gets older that you have with your kids
I’m not pushing this on you but people can be depressed but still act fine around others. I’m not sure how she acts usually but it’s just a thought
Omg It’s Spirit Week At My School To!! Great Video 💜💜
I recently move away from all my friends too for my freshman year and I always wanted to move back and I actually fell into depression but no one in my family noticed because I would try to hide all the crying and sadness from them so yea just because you can’t see it doesn’t mean it’s not happening🤷♀️ ly guys tho❤️
Dejah has the full potential and personality to really blossom in FL she is such a cool kid, as a substitute teacher tho you really have to watch theses teachers because some of them really there for that check You'd be amazed at how many I've met.. A conference with the 3 or 4(Cleveland) of you would be great. It's the most uneasy feeling ever when your children display unhappiness. You're a great mom I'm sure u will figure it out. I pray Dejah finds her place in her new area. We love u Dej❤️
I been refreshing my UA-cam since you said you were posting a video on live.
My mom did the same thing with us. When I was just starting Middle and my older brother started HS. It was hard at first but we adjusted and we were better off bc of it. Sometimes change is good. It puts everyone in a different perspective. I’m not saying where you were was bad but where we were was and I was so angry for the first year and my older brother was so angry that we left our cousins and friends but we all got over it and we love the South now. I know she’ll be fine. It’ll make your children closer even thought I feel like they are close now. It made a difference bc we experienced way more. 💕 love your family!
Awww Dejah😔. I really do hope things get better for her❤️. I really hate seeing people upset especially people I care about. As always , sending love your way! Love you all 💖
You made a great choice in a lovely home and nurturing environment for your family it’s normal for the kids to feel down especially with teachers it takes time to adjust and always remember they can visit their friends in the summer or friends can visit them.
You are an amazing loving mom much admired by your followers I never met you and I always look forward to watching the videos you all put out on UA-cam.
May god bless and keep you when’re you doubt yourself. 👏🏽🙏🏾
You’re a great mom. Dejah will adjust with time; moving at the age is a little stressful. Love how open you are with your viewers ❤️
I love how she wants to keep her kids happy 😆 that’s a true parent💕💕
I loved Niya’s book review at the beginning. My 11 year old loves to read and I was talking to her about doing some.
I understand how you’re feeling about making decisions and making sure your babies are happy. I go back and forth with myself about rather moving was the right choice all the time, but it had opened up so many opportunities. 💜💜
I don't smoke or drink ethier. Just stay on top of deja Evonne. Just to make sure she's ok we lose so many over depression. We all want the best for our kids so I definitely understand oam gonna keep you all in my prayers. That's Santa bag is oh so cute OMG women o can't go a day without turtles.. Love you all.. Everyone have a blessed day...
I’m 14 and I recently moved to a new school district which means new high school with new people. At first it was really hard and I had a little bit of depression but I didn’t won’t my mom to know so I hid it. Long story short after a few months of being in the new school district I got use to it and my depression slowly left. My momma was just like you, she was scared that she had made the wrong decision but now we all are happy. Dejah is going to be okay, if might take a while but just have patience with her.
i love my her so much she is a really sweet & outgoing person and I haven’t even met her yet you have an amazing daughter,& I love how she loves to read books 🥰🥰
Javonne it’s okay everything will be okay continue to do your thing ,God Bless 💕
Niya is so cute she remind me of my niece she has so much energy and is always bring joy to everyone
You made the right decision! I love you soooo much! Dejah is going to eventually get use to the Floridian Pride!!! It just going to take some time for her to adjust! I’m SUBCRIBED to ALL of you guys UA-cam’s and I absolutely enjoy all of the videos that are uploaded!😘!!! Keep your head up girl!! You got this!!
*Omg Sis I felt the same way when we moved to Nevada from California! I was the only one geared to do this and wished for years to be here! Like it's my Honeymoon state and place I got married! I felt in my heart it was the best move for my family! The move was exciting but only A few of my kids were amped... But then they start missing friends, hard time adapting at new schools, also the school work was more advanced than California! Which in the long run is good but a challenge at first. So it was a few stages we went through! Eventually the kids were poppin with new friends and got the hang of things here. Now they ask me never to move lol. It's a transition stage going through to get to! Hopefully her bestie can visit in the summer and keep praying Im Praying for a Breakthrough spiritually, mentally, physically, and financially for all in your home! New ideas and closeness like never before! I pray the conference helps the teacher understand and Dejah can overcome this short setback swiftly! Cause we know she strive for excellence in school always have always will! Love yall so and when you taking us to the beaches sis. We need a beach tour seeing the beaches of Florida! Hopefully some Pizza will make her Night!! 🍕 🌙*
Sometimes change can be hard to adjust too. stay encouraged y'all. 😊
🌸❤️🌸❤️Hey girrrl!!!Things will get better...Just keep pushing your being a good parent to your children... Love ❤️ u always!!Enjoy your evening!!!!
You all are an amazing family..Dejah may just be homesick, I know it’s hard to get used to but she will eventually..I’m praying for dejah and your family ❤️👌🏽
Girl, enjoying your videos so much, thank you for the hair and lift updates. Please call and make an appointment to see the teacher. I teach and if I call home I’ve exhausted my options and need help. Dejha will be okay too, she’s hormonal and she does have to adjust. She knows you love her and only want the best for your family. These life lessons are just that to teach us. Be strong sis.
I had never seen you so down before i wanted to just jump in the screen and give you a hug. Like frfr
You are a great mother!! Everything will adjust eventually. You do everything for your kids they have what they need . I’m sorry you are sad & just know I’m praying for everything to change 💙 I love you guys
Dejah will be just fine. You made the move to give your family a better living!! You guys have a nice house, each child has their own room ....y’all DONT have to deal with snow. I can’t wait to move from NY and be able to show my kids a different kind of living.
Missed your live ughhh ,I'm here 4 you sis every thing will be okay Dej just still adjusting it will pass God bless you and family Love yall ❤😘🤗
My mom moved my sister and I when I was a freshman. (my sister was a junior). We ABSOLUTELY HATED IT. My mom felt the same way you do. Second guessing her decision. But dad respected her decision and was on board. Long story short within months we settled in. With the love of prayer we began to love the decision. I hope everything works out for you guys. 😍💕
I’m not a mother or anything, but I know you’re just trying your best as a mother to make sure your kids receive the best education! My cousins who lived in Minnesota all her life had to move to California because of her the new job opportunity! We were all upset about it, and originally my cousins hated the new adjustments but about a year or two in, they began to love California! I suggest a one one with Dejah and figuring out how she’s feeling and what it is she wants.
Awwwww don’t beat yourself up. Change is hard to adjust to and sometimes it takes a few years and time. Dejah it will get better luv! Maybe you can surprise her and bring a bestie to Florida during their winter break. She misses her friends, I know that feeling oh so well!!
I use the same container for my oldest sons lunch and he loves it. I know the move was a major move for the family and Dejah’s definitely is homesick and as silly as it sounds I stay homesick because we move every 3 years so we basically have to start over and it definitely takes a toll on my grade school son, he always has this period of acting out but he always bounces back just tell Deja’s to keep her head up and stay resilient. She’ll look back and appreciate the move down the line. We are not claiming depression however I know what it looks like maybe see if you can find some extra activities to keep her busy.
Javonne you have good kids, and you and Cleveland are amazing parents. Moving is hard, especially for kids. Dejah is probably still adjusting, she’s going to be ok! Sending you all some hugs!
I love when you post...helps me escape reality!
Love you J 💕
You are AN AWESOMEEE MOM !! I see a lot of myself in Dejah because I talked a lot in class and was a class clown but I got my work done and my mom never really got upset about because my grades were excellent but just me talking in class .
I'm a junior in college, from East Cleveland and now live in Virginia since about 8th grade. My entire family is from Ohio and I have absolutely no family here besides my parents and recently my cousin who moved with my parents for grad school. Anyway.. I felt the exact same way as Dejah when we moved. I hated it here. I missed my family. I didnt see why my parents wanted to come here. The reason why, they got government jobs in DC and wanted to escape the crime back home. Long story short I think she will probably be like me. It took me forever to start to appreciate the move and even though I dont plan to stay here after school, I am still grateful for the decision they made, that I couldn't see the benefit in before. I think she'll come around or atleast start to understand. Ps. I love watching yall. Yall remind me of how my family used to act with each other and most days yall videos make me feel a little happier.
Awww don’t feel bad! I have very young kids and we been through some transitions and it wasn’t easy for them but they got through it! so Imagine a teenager who is very hormonal... It will take time and she will be ok you are doing a good job with your children. Keep up the good work! I love your family vlogs ❤️
I watch your videos because of your spirit your a great mom and I know Dejah will adjust it just takes time I live in Alabama now but I moved to Lorain Ohio in 2000 and I hated it at first but it grew on me, love you guys it will all work out
*Yanna we need a big chop update*
I have been watching your videos for some time, I don't have kids but I know it's about adjustment. You are a beautiful mom and your doing what's best for them, I will always admire you for that, a supportive husband and beautiful kids, your the mom and the one in charge do what you think is best for them, when I was coming up we moved from a place we had no idea that would become bad years later, my mom saw things we couldn't see as a child, trust me years from now, they will thank you for all the decisions you have made on their behalf. Change is always good....she will adjust trust me.
don’t feel like you were in the wrong mama. my mom was in the same position. we came from new jersey and it was hard for us to adjust. but we gave it some time and it’s honestly the best thing for us. new jersey is so different now so its such a good thing. yes i miss my friends and family but its the best thing atm, and ive made new friends i wouldnt wanna leave. youre a good mama, and you make ME proud imagine your kids
ALSOOO try to make time to visit Ohio, its honestly the best thing. once they see how different it is they wont feel the same
You're baby is so smart and she did an excellent job reviewing her book. She should do her own book review segments. Great job mom and dad!
She going to get use of it in time she's just at that stage of not knowing what to do, I remembered having that issue when I kept moving and moving. Her being a teen with periods, stuff that's also probably changing her emotions as well. I love ya family so much😍😘
I know how Deja’s feeling. When my mom said that we were moving to Mississippi I was not having it. I had moved from my home town were all my friends were (Pennsylvania) then we were back and forth from north and South Carolina. And a lot of things happens between them that had me even more sad and mad. So I really wanted everything to go back to normal. Even tho I have close friends down here and kinda adjusted, I still wish I could go back to Pennsylvania. Even if it’s just to visit.
Aw dejah! I’m a freshman too and all my friends went to a different highschool and it’s sooo hard to adjust, home it’s gets better for us.
One day at a time. Everything will work out. You are awesome so keep doing what you are doing. Blessings to you and the fam
love ur vids you inspire me so much ur family is so funny and i watch all ur videos and they jus make me laugh so hard cuz y’all be sayin some funny stuff
Im in my math class on a computer then my phone vibrated w/ the notifications ..I clicked on the videos so fast!!😭💗
from elementary to middle school, I moved. So the summer between 6th and 7th, my mom made me go to a middle school in the city we lived in rather than the school I went to, two cities away. It was so hard to adjust, and honestly I never did, and I'm applying for grad schools now. when you transfer to like middle schools and high schools, it's hella hard because friendships are already made and established. and it's difficult to break into those, if you're not that kind of person.
tell dejah to join clubs, as ways to meet people and not think about her old school as much.
Me as a teenager I have moved from school to school and not all the times do I find friends at the school and it’s hard to fit in and find friends because not all people are the same and yes it tends to change you and the way you act but you are a great mother and keep your head up!!!
Even though Dejah doesn’t look so seem depressed when she’s around you it doesn’t mean she’s not feeling depressed. Someone could seem like the happiest person in the world on the outside but end up being the ones to commit suicide. Now I’m not saying it’s that extreme for Dejah but I dont think you should just write it off as her being dramatic. Try to get her to open up because most times the person is too afraid to say something.
That made me tear up when you was taking about dejah at the end i know what it feels like to leave all your friends behind it hurts but she will be ok
I love your family every one is real. Some times we have our good days and bad days.
I can relate to what dejah going thru i felt the same way when i moved to a different place to live im still learning to get adjusting to it going take sometime but i think you will eventually like it i hope you feel better just think you have a great family that loves you and wants the best for you i know you didn't want to move sometimes you have do stuff you don't want to do i love you guys have a bless day btw im not make anyone feel bad cheer up -Taylor💜
The worst thing you could’ve done in this type of situation is dismissing how she was feeling or what she had said..even if you were joking..i went through the same thing with my parents when i came out to them about being depressed and having suicidal thoughts even though my mom got me temporary therapy i never opened up to them again off the simple fact that they dismissed how i felt and laughed because they had the mindset that because i was 18 i had nothing to be sad or uncomfortable about..as a mother the best thing you can and should do is talk to her, listen & figure out how y’all can get through this patch in a positive way.
I never watched a UA-cam channel this much this channel is so funny and addicting
Please don’t stress or overthink. Your doing a great job, keep up the amazing work💪🏾❤️
I know I’m late but when I was 7 or 8 my mom chose to move my two siblings and I out of the south side of Chicago. At the time that was all I knew gunshots, gangs and drugs. I was leaving a place that wasn’t good for me but at the time I didn’t understand that. I was upset to leave something I was used to. It wasn’t until I got to high school that I realized why my mother did what she did. I say all of this because although you may not like where you are at right now just know that God has you there for a reason. Whether it’s to learn a lesson or to set you up for a bright future, God is putting you through this for a GOOD reason. Keep your head up, don’t let your crown tilt. ❤️
Niyah is so well spoken!
In the latter part you sound muffley like you’ve been crying.. HUGS*** Your doing the best you can with what you know!! She won’t be in school forever! I honestly look up to you, your so calm, cool & collective. That’s saying something!!!
Well personally, I don’t think Dejah’s being dramatic. Moving is hard and I know what she’s feeling. It’s hard to leave a place and people you’ve known for big part of your life growing up.
Yooooooooo the fact that it was just meat on the sandwich and nun else had my deaaaddd bruh!😂😂
Hey Jay von this is Gloria Gandy I was just saw your video about your daughter Deja coming home and telling her side of the story I’m just letting you know do not let your kids make you feel guilty for moving to Florida that was your decision and they have to learn how to adjust to whatever is going on and I understand I have five children two of them are grown but I’m just letting you know that she’s going to have to learn how to adjust to anything that goes on . It is one of the things that she has it just to for example she’ll be graduating from high school soon as she has said yes to a new environment going to college so at the end of the day she has a lot of adjusting to do in her life so she might as will get used to it now don’t feel bad about it your beautiful mom
i lovvvvee niyah's hair and your kids are hilarious
Very Smart BABY Girl! She is a DOLL, so Cute. I love the way she speaks!😣😉😊
Auntie dont stress yourself over little things that will soon passover or can be handled in a second. I dont know if i told you but i just lost my aunt in October, today was her funeral , but she passed away from stress. Im glad you have a nice way of dealing with your stress. Try to see if theres anything to do to bring Ohio to dejah. I know how she feels , maybe go there for thanksgiving
I feel you on wanting your kids to be happy! It hurts us more than it hurts them! In the end I think she will be alright! She just needs a little more time to adjust!
I don’t think dejah is depressed I think she’s just having a hard time coping. And this move is a loss for her it’s all new. Have patience and encourage her to keep herself busy and find some friends like her. It took me till the last 2 years of high school to like where my mom moved us to so never say never! Encourage her to stay hopeful you never know why God placed you where you are
Dejah with them stories I can’t 😂😂💞💞💞💞
