I'm 16 years of age and this made me sit back and think about it. I feel like I don't appreciate the things I have but this powerful message made me feel like I should be more appreciative for what I have. Thanks Rickey Smiley
Joshua Bruce im so proud of you young BRUTHA. You sat back and actually took in Mr. Smiley's message. I'm commending you because of the fact that there are adults who try so hard to send that same message everyday and teenagers your same age become so defensive simply bcuz they're guilty of exhibiting that same disrespectful behavior as described by Rickey and refuse to hear the truth and miss such a valuable lesson. YOU are one of the few teenagers to take that information in and actually use it as a tool. Again my young brutha, I commend you for listening. That's a great start to moving in the right direction.
MELANIN GODDESS I'm 18 now and this video has really taught me something since I first viewed it I can't thank my parents enough for all they've done for me even my mother especially being a single parent
Joshua Bruce WOW I am proud of you, "do better to always be better" "Do what you have to do,so you are able to do what you want to do". This is wisdom for your growth. you are one of the special ones, so treat your mother and yourself as so. Love your big brother J . " Love to live and live to love"
This message has really blessed my soul... I’m going through HELL with my daughter... but I’m going to keep praying and believing knowing that MY GOD will bring about a change....
Never let anything compromise your God being, that include kids. If she doesn't fix up, and is old enough, she will need to change that energy or leave with that energy. Protecting your God-being first is your first Godly rule.
I have very nasty adult children very abusive and violent to me nothing i can do. about it tried i got arrested lost job car clothes they sold all possessions
My grown kids in there 20s do not seem to care how there actions make me feel at all because " as mom you had to stay mom . " But dad can do no wrong because you came in after they was born and took up the job of dad when another male didn't want to be dad . They talk to him but will not text me . We pay our grown daughters electric and trash and give her a place to park her trailer she got for free . I told my husband I didn't want our only truck lent out . He let her use it and she blew the radiator blew heads it's going to cost me 900 to fix it . She drove it as it was over heating . So now we have no way to do food shopping but hey she has friends to call that will help her . Yes I'm mad . Yes I feel like I used to ask what did I do wrong . Now I'm saying . I will not beg anyone to love me . I'm done . I'm going to get a vehicle that fits the need of mine and my man's so we can take trips in our early retirement and enjoy ourselves because his daughter will not let him see his grandchild our daughter has a boyfriend that is talking out the side of his unemployed mouth writing check his a$$ can't cash about how we dont clearly want to be grandparents yet she keeps taking it because he is the dad . I'm over it . I raised 2 kids at younger then them . Yet they can't handle themselves and have 1 on the way . It has me mad for what the future holds for them yet hopeful for hubby and I and what the next part of our life looks like .
My daughter is grown (26) and I’m so drained from her being so disrespectful constantly. Especially her text messages. You’d think I didn’t raise her. Then again, let her tell it, I didn’t. I’ve been dealing with this mess since she was 15/16. She blames me for everything that doesn’t go right in her life. When she listens to none of the advice I’ve given her. But she constantly listens and respects others I’m so tired of it. It’s just made me not want to be around it’s. Too draining... it’s even made me distance myself from certain family members because they believe her over me. But then when they talk to me it’s a different story. Why does showing me respect so hard to do?
As someone who has a difficult mother. Your daughter is not doing this for no reason. You need to examine what you did. Your daughter isn't acting like that for no reason.
@@CJohnson19121 that’s not always true. Some times its the issues of the children. Unless you experience this first hand it’s very complicated! Sometimes they feel privileged yes, we are responsible for that. Because we tried to give them a better lifestyle than we had. Thanks for sharing.
Im 41 and i have a 19 year old now ,when i was 15 my dad and i got into a big fight and he tried to give me a birthday present i wouldn't accept the present and he walked away crying and i never told him im sorry on april the 1st he passed away in the morning at 5:30 a.m. a few months later i have never gotten over that day. So i understand exactly what this man is trying to say. God bless
Peace be with you. Find a chair, sit it in front of you, have a seat across from it and have a conversation with your father. He will be present.. God bless bro..
I slept on the floor up until the age of 15 years old. We were poor but my mother got up and went to work every morning. Much love and respect for my mother Juanita V. Morales As far as my father well let’s just say that he kept his check to himself. I love both my parents and hope that GOD keeps them with us for more years to come. I love you Sir for this message thank you and GOD Bless you my brother.
You Sir is what i call a real man. A real man that's a success. The bible says to honor you mother and Father so that you may have a long life and be of good success . This is one of the ten commandments and the only one that comes with that promise . Exodus 20. May Yah bless you according to numbers 6 :23-26 . I dont know what its like to have a kid to respect and honor me the way you just did your Mom and Dad. I tried hard son . I am a African American female i was in this Army for 8years . I worked hard even when i got out after the 1st Gulf war to provide for my children and to teach them about the things and ways of God. When i had alot they was there and when i had nothing they werent. Now they have . As adults they are very successful. One is a Microbiologist for the FDA and the other is a big time Security Stockbroker for big banks . They have beautiful homes one in Colorado and the other here in Houston they dont want for nothing. Ive never heard them say thank you. . I pray and sometimes things are better but you know son i know its because i love Jesus and no kid on this earth can separate me from the Love of the Lord. Enough about me i take pleasure and so happy to know there are Men and others like you that love and respect thier parents. THANK YOU and God Bless you
Diana Barnes, you keep being the Best Mother you can be. Keep talking, keep inspiring, and keep praying for strength for you and your child. I tell my two daughters, my magic book that helps me to raise them to the best of my ability, is my BIBLE. Just as I stated, I have 2 beautiful daughters that are God's gift. He chose me to share them with him...I say this because I know they belong to him, FIRST! Diana, I can feel your pain! Are my daughters good children? Yes...Are they respectful? Yes....Are they perfect? NO..... They are just like any other children that, sometimes get out of line...and have to be reminded, God has allowed me to make a million sacrifices for you, YOU WILL RESPECT ME AT ALL TIMES!!! My title is MOTHER, at ALL TIMES! not friend.....and I will say it again, I'm MOTHER, a lot of responsibilities come with that title....this responsibility wasn't given to a friend...Just as I love my daughters, I know children can make you cry sometimes.....How do I know? I have been there...So, Diana, you and any Mother who finds this message to be touching to the heart, keep pushing and praying.....God sees it all....Thank you Ricky Smiley, for your great wisdom from GOD!
Beautiful mothers don't fault y'all selves WHEN YOU KNOW YOU RAISED YOUR CHILD OR KIDS RIGHT. I'M UP IN AGE AND I NEVER DISRESPECTED MY MOTHER! WE HAD OUR NOT SO GOOD TIMES BUT I NEVER DISRESPECTED HER!!! UNFORTUNATELY FOR THE MOMENT I'M WITH SOMEONE THAT'S NOT A GREAT PARENT. HER SON'S A WEAK MINDED LIAR, THAT FOLLOW HARD HEADED KIDS THAT DON'T RECEIVE TOUGH LOVE. DUMMIES ROBBED SOMEONE GOT LOCKED UP! FOOL SAID HE THOUGHT ABOUT COMMITTING SUICIDE SMH.. WANNABE BAD AZZ CRIED SEVERAL YEARS AGO WHEN THE POLICE PICKED UP HIM AND ANOTHER KID FOR BUSTING BOTTLES KNOWING VEHICLES DRIVE IN THE ALLEY. SHE BABIED HIM FOR WAYYY TOO LONG. SHE'D SCREAM @THE GIRLS AND WHISPER AT HIM. WHEN SHE STARTED TIGHTENING UP ON HIM HE FELT THE WORLD WAS AGAINST HIS COWARD AZZ.
Thank you for this message. Adult children are the worst to their parents. I never talked back to my mom. Years years later I was so hurt by something she said then I snapped at the late age of 39 and spoke out badly. Sadly my mom passes away. My last words were horrible. I know she has forgiven me but it haunts me till today
If you disrespect your parents then have kids in the future then they will be disrespectful towards you and could even be worse because you disrespected your parents. Every time you dishonor your mother or father, your planting negative seeds that will reap onto your offspring UNLESS you repent and rip those seeds out in Jesus name.
my son disrespect me all time n never listen me . but try make him undertand as a mom amd how I gave birth to he a loving child and need some deplience .
Most children today seem to think their entitled and the world owes them something.. Thanks for this positive message...Peace Love light and BLESSINGS to you and yours...💕💕
No child expects that you only think that honey all kid wants today is there parents to respect just as we respect them Let me tell you I know a lot of kids today that their parents don’t respect them they treat them like shit and it’s kind of frustrating because they think about we’re dumb and young and that we should be treated less then but we have to treat our parents like kings and queens but they treat us less than
Amen! Disrespectful adult children that you can't say nothing too. Adult children that fight their parent and curse them out. Adult children who never return parents calls text and bypass their own mom house that raised them single handed. God bless them. I refuse to lose one night of sleep.
I have a 22 year old son who I'm still paying his $600 car Insurance. I own a small business and he doesn't show up for work to Support his family last name. After hearing this, I dropped him today. I'm done. I'll let God help him now.
He crazy I'm 19 and work at fast food and attending college soon i"LL be glad to make money especially if it's my family business and not work under anyone else!
@Gice Rum The right Tutors are very helpful. And maybe testing can be done just to make sure there is no learning disabilities which can cause lack of understanding, And or confusion. Hopefully a conversation will start the process.
Thank you so much for making this video. Both my grown sons turned on me last year because they felt I could have done a better job of raising them. I was a single parent. I left my marriage because my husband would not take care of his family(He was in another relationship) I was a good mother and I did the best I could! If it wasn't for my Faith in God this situation would have given me a nervous breakdown! I came from a single mother but all my life I love and took care of my mother.We all make mistakes raising children butI always put my children first. If anyone came up against me and my two sons then you were a problem. They both finish high school, college, and went in the Military. Now I'm old and sick they both have deserted me.They say, they don't owe me anything! I never asked for much. Just a little help now and then.The oldest son wife hasnt spoke to me in 4 years. We disagree on raising my grandson(I spank him 4 yrs ago) He needed it. You are not going to tear my house up.You have to show children right way to go because one day they are going to be stronger than you are. Please pray for my family. My heart is broken.Don't grow up and mistreat your parents. Thank you for this opportunity to express myself. You are doing a great job. May God bless you and your family.
Rosita Young you do not owe those boys not one thing, damn them and damn the grand child get outside help and live your life too the fullest and stop having regrets and feeling down pray for em if you feel like it!!!!!!! And let that aggravation go !!!!!!!! Love and respect!!!!
You said it Ricky. My daughter is 31 the last child she is very disrespectful. It hurts because she was the one that was always struck to me all the time. They say the that you do so much for the one sticks to you will be the one that will hurt you the most. Thats so true. God see everything.🙏🙏🙏
Thank you Rickey!!!! These millenials feel a sense of entitlement... It's like the new disease with little to no cure. Lord help this generation and the parents!!!
It's the parents of the millennials NOT the millennials!! They get Too Much That's why they're Entitled. Who are the parents really trying to impress by giving their children everything they want?? Be honest with yourself, WHO??
The parents ARE the millennials. First wave millennials are in their late 30s now. This kids were talking about are the generation after the millennials. Don't know what they're called. Gen Z maybe?
I started family councilling after the death of my children's father. I told the councillor that I don't tolerate any disrespect from my children. I said it shows ingratitude for the person who makes everything happen for them. The councillor says I should say the same statement to myself!?! Huh? He says I should pick my battles with them. I argued it and said O don't ever let a disrespect go unchallenged. I feel like I'm paying a fortune to be trained to enable my children to be abusers of others. My blood boils when my children talk to me like dirt. The councillor says I have anger issues because my parents were too strict and I'm setting up my children to suffer. Then I head this which is confirming my belief of demanding respect for the work we put in. I'm nobody's doormat not even my own flesh.
I work in behavioral health clear channel, and I agree with you. Sounds like your counselor wants you to adapt and enable your child. I'm in the same boat as you and we need to go back to the basics we were taught. I enable my children sometimes I want to give them everything and then to turn around and be disrespected. I was raised on tough love and respecting my elders. We need to teach the youth that respect and morales go a long way.
That Counselor was using his text book to hit you on the head...BLACK KIDS NEED a different type of intellectual discipline...What was good for the gooses is good for the ganders!!! I NEVER disrespected my cousins, aunts, uncles, grandmothers, grandfather nor mother. My mother did not raise me half of my life before 10...NOR came back. I seen her at 16, 32 and 42....I was reintroduced to her at 42 and we spoke daily to weekly...she had 2 strokes when I was 49 and 50...During pandemic I drove 3000 miles to get her out of rehab and stayed 9 months and set her up with aids and financial support for her significant other to bring resources in their home...I made sure her house was clean, organized, safe and full of supplies...I still manage their payroll long distance...The entire time I was there she tried to slander my name and attack me VERBALLY AND PHYSICALLY WHILE I also tried to complete a degree program...She doesn't call anymore unless it a problem...and when I call her she asks as if I am annoying or bothering her...NONE of her other 3 kids came to help nor calls but once a month... TO THIS DAY MY OWN CHILDREN WERE UPSEY WITH ME FOR SEEING ABOUT MY ASTRANGED MOTHER. I CONSIDERED IT AN ASSIGNMENT FROM GOD.
I'm in tears right now 😢 I'm a single father who is trying to raise 2 kids. Right now I'm struggling with a disrespectful daughter who is full of potential but her negative attitude is her down fall. Thank you Mr. Smiley.
Listening to this 8:30 a.m. on my way to my job at social social services with tears in my eyes and chest pains. 42 years old. Been through the worst of the worst! Thank you for expressing this.
God Bless You Mr. Smiley. I'm seeing this post very late but the Lord knew I needed to hear this. I have 2 daughters 17 and 25, and I'm a single parent, and I know about ALL this stuff bcuz I'm living it. And it's hard. I am damned if I do and damned when I dont. Heartbreaking.
Thank u I have never heard this but 5years later. When Im listening and really breaking down and feeling like nobody understands. And I'm having chest pains at 37 years old because of my grown disrespectful 21year old and my couldn't give a dam about nothing 19 year old. This gave me a silent tap on my back that reminded me I'm not alone and GOD PUTS NO MORE THAN I CAN HANDLE. Thanks so much
Going through it with my 15 year old daughter. I set boundaries yet give her trust and freedom until I see that trust has been broken. I punish her she gets sneaky....and I get physical. She calls CPS. The weapon formed against didn’t prosper. She ran away Sunday night to her little boy’s house while his mom worked overnight. I knew she was there when I saw her gone, God is good because she didn’t get kidnapped on her long walk to his house. She has turned into some one I don’t know. So I let her go live with her bio dad that just got out of prison in Feb while we were on a Bahamas 🇧🇸 cruise. Lol I’m reclaiming my peace and focus. I have 2 toddlers that doesn’t need to see their mom crazy over a disobedient spirit. My husband never treated her like a step child. I know God will get the glory in the end, I’m just on an emotional roller coaster. I trust GOD will protect her from hurt harm and danger.
Reading this two years later and I am going through this exact same issue almost identical to your story but I have a 16 year old son. I hope things got better but in my situation I also have to let him go because I have two kids to think about and one on the way and I don't need that additional stress and I feel so much more peace in my home now that he is gone.
@@rineekabrooks3529 don’t feel bad. After years of fighting with my 17 year old son, I finally forced him over there to go with his dad. He crushed my heart, but it’s been quiet and peaceful ever cents. He thought he could run the household and run me and I had to show him one of us had to go and it’s not gonna be me. I put him out and never look back. Now he’s over there living with his dad dealing with his dad’s rules and he don’t give him any problems. So at this point it is what it is he’s eating now I’m hopeful that he’s matured a little bit before he graduates this year and hope there’s some point he has enough decency to come back and apologize for the way he acted in my home. I’m not even sure if our relationship would ever be the same but I couldn’t let him stay here trying to run circles around me.🥂🤷🏽♀️
It touch me! I did a disservice to my teenage daughter and SPOILED HER, never said, "No", never gave her chores, let her think she was in charge! Now, I would never live with her in this state! I did her a disservice! I hope I have enough years left in my life to undo it. What a good message! I am a single mother also, traded my time for pay to keep a roof over our head. What a mess! And I wish my daughter could hear this also. I wish something would make her appreciate what she has.
I know this is 3 years old, but you can’t blame yourself for sacrificing to take care of your daughter. I went through the same thing! Apologized to her for the lack of time for having to work endless hours to make sure we were straight! Even after that, the disobedience is consistent! As single mother’s we have to do what we have to do in order to provide! This SHOULD breed appreciative kids.
I was crying last night, hurting because of the way my 16yr old son is disrespecting me. It's just too much, I feel abused by the child I brought into this world
Out of any video on UA-cam, this one should have ZERO dislikes. This the is the truth! I lost my dad in 2018 right before fathers day. Trust me it was plenty of things I wish I did and said different. Now those things haunt me plenty of days. Young or old please listen and share this video.
I’m goin thru the EXACT same thing with my 16yr old son very DISRESPECTFUL. I needed to hear this and as well I’m goin to share this message with him too. Thank you Mr Rickey Smiley
So true my brother I'm a living testimony lost my mother at a early age and i can relate to it blessings to Rickey please continue to send the younger generations that great food for thought God bless you and your crew my brother.
Although Ricky's message with regards to this video is directed to young folks...I'm also taking Ricky's message to heart as a 52 year old man. Why? Because learning new ways of improving my life never gets old. There's always, always room for improvement. At my age I could literally pick my Momma up with 1 finger and still she commands my respect and admiration. If my mom was standing before my face, I'd be incline to ask her permission to cuddle my own wife in front of her company. Oh, and 1 more thing. Women are the only people who may find themselves as single parents.
SKIRRRRRRRT! WRONG THERE! Women don't corner the market on being single parents. There are JUST as many men raising children alone as there are women so before you move your tongue to the left to make room for your foot to go in your mouth, make damn sure that you quantify and verify your statement BEFORE you post it in a public forum.
@@williamjones6276 there aren't just as many dads who single parents. Of all single-parent families in the U.S.,single mothers make up the majority. According to 2018 U.S. Census Bureau,4 out of about 11 million single parent familieswith children under the age of 18, more than 80% were headed by single mothers. Are there single fathers, yes! But to say it's equal is incorrect.
My Father and Mother left me homeless when I was born. I spent most of my life in Foster-care. BUT....I was able to know them. And to this day.....I will honor them. Although Im still rejected. BUT I HONOR God FIRST!! And he has kept me. Their lost!🙏🏾
Finally someone speaking for the parents. Nowadays I see kids taking they parents to court and kids making adult decisions on TV. Smh we all need to hear this. Thanks Ricky
You hit it on the nail Ricky. My 12 yr. Old daughter was my pride and joy and I gave her everything I never had. Birthday parties every year, small trips every summer when I could afford it. She is is so disrespectful now. Think she's grown and talks back. Please pray for me and her to restore our relationship and help her to be happy and not so angry.
Was your pride and joy? I'm assuming that she still is your pride and joy. Also, your situation is not unique. Kids that age are hormonal, insecure, dealing with their changing bodies and emotions, and just angry at the world. Also, has your daughter ever heard you speaking rudely of disrespectfully to someone...whether that some is her father, stepfather, another adult family member, (or even her)? I'm not accusing you of doing these things, but do know that kids pattern the behavior they see. Sometimes, what parents get wrong is thinking that giving a child what they need, materially, is enough to meet all their child's intangible needs. Sometimes what a child appreciates most ain't got nothing to do with birthday parties, gifts, etc. Sometimes, they want to someone who'll LISTEN to them, someone who the can vent their grievances to without it being it being dismisses as "talking back"...someone who'll listen to them even when you don't agree with them. When kids aren't given room to respectfully be themselves, they'll disrespectfully be themselves. Ask me how I know? 22 years ago, I was that 12 year-old. Nine of what I'm stating implies that a parent should allow a child to run the home, but it does make them feel valued as a human being when all of their dissenting feelings aren't disregarded.
Wow.....Sitting here at my desk crying. This is the same thing I try to explain to my son. God bless you Rickey!!!! I guarantee my son will be listening to this today once I pick him up from school!!! He's great in music with perfect pitch and lazy as hell with his studies. I think this will open his eyes. God bless you again and keep doing what you are doing.🤗🤗
I never talked back to my parents, I might’ve mumbled shit under my breath but never talked back where as though they hear me AND I NEVER EVER bought my kids a cell phone, you gets no phone unless you can pay for it. 💯
My daughter told me to my FACE that she don't love me or her mother and she even *LAUGHED* about it❗ ua-cam.com/video/ZqB9ueoDji4/v-deo.html Its A SHAME❗
Rickey I'm just going through listen to you this Sunday morning and your topic had me in tears because Everything you saying is me I'm single Parent and I'm Dearly going through so much with my sons. I ask God give me strength everyday that I have to go my job that I put up with sooooo much and I tell them everyday they don't what I put up with.... Rickey thank you so much I can't stop the tears from rolling down my face because it's heartfelt what I'm going through. Thank you comfort title hopefully I get through this week keeping your words in my head.
THANK YOU RICKEY. I JUST SENT MY KIDS TO BED BUT THEY WILL BE LISTENING TO THIS TOMORROW. FOR SOME ODD REASON YOU CAN PREACH TO YOUR CHILDREN ALL DAY EVERYDAY AND IT GOES IN 1 EAR AND OUT THE OTHER, BUT THEY WILL LISTEN TO A TOTAL STRANGER....9 X'S OUT OF 10. MY MAMA USED TO SING THIS SONG "LOVE YOUR MAMA WHILE SHE'S LIVING, GIVE YOUR MAMA FLOWERS WHILE SHE'S LIVING, BCUZ WHEN SHE'S GONE, WHEN SHE'S DEAD AND GONE YOU'RE GONNA MISS HER....YOU'RE GONNA MISS HER"! NOW WE NEED TO HEAR THIS SAME MESSAGE AGAIN BUT FROM MS. BERNICE JENKINS 😃 #SUBSCRIBED IDK HOW I WASN'T SUBSCRIBED B4 AND I LISTEN TO UR SHOW DAILY (SHRUGGS SHOULDERS) I AM NOW THO. #LOVEYA
POWERFUL! We need to hear this type of wisdom EVERYDAY! So true, honor your parents so that your days will be not be shortened on earth. It’s tight, but it’s right.
OMG This needs to be said more often. So powerful and so true. Next please mention the grandmothers who take these kids in when their parents are having problems and how ungrateful and entitled their attitudes can be when really they could be homeless. After they have raised their kids and ready to enjoy life here they come bringing drama and nonsense. It is heart breaking and ridiculous. Thank you Mr. Smiley. It really needs to be said more often. I really believe thats why we lose so many of our young people not all but many because Gods word is true.
I am preaching this word right now. I'm extremely tired. The best love I can give is hard love. I didn't plan the seed of disrespect. My 21 year old son will soon learn what accountability is. I can pray to save and ask that God has mercy on his soul.
Yes! Damn the jokes; this man is absolutely awesome from a personal perspective relative to real life. These teenagers are out of control and my Lord! How I appreciate the wisdom this man has to share as he is on point! WHEW!!!!
Everything u said was true facts,My mother,Granny's,aunt's and Dad is gone,the kids today don't know the pain that we endure trying to raise them right and keep them on track.I cried instantly because I miss my elders so bad it's crazy I'm a 50 yes old man telling you that.Much salutations too u Bro.Ricky Smiley,one of my favorite comedians,yet one of the realest cats out here Peace and Love bro .
I can vouch for my Brother Rickey Smiley he is an outstanding guy who stands by his word..I remember him standing up at T.West funeral and stating that he would be there for my son TJ and he has been there ever since,although TJ has me his mom and his step father we knew Rickey would be a positive influence in TJ'S LIFE. ..words can't express the Love and respect we have for him and his Role in TJ'S life TJ is the better because of your hand in his life and for that I'm very Grateful . .TJ and Terrell are wise beyond their years and will do Great things because of the Seeds you have sown. .TEENS listen up take heed to these words spoken from my Brother Rickey Smiley. .you're a teen you do have a voice but it's all in the presentation how you deliver it coupled with Respect and God fearing love you will win every time.. Stop- Think and Choose your tone and Your words wisely ! Keep speaking life Rickey love you more...
I appreciate this video. I’d love to hear one that points out and encourage the youth who continuously do what they are asked. You talk about honoring parents. Let’s encourage the ones whose parents make it hard to honor. The ones that cause trauma and yet the children are still what we consider amazing.
Mr. Smiley, God had to put that on your heart to say! I'm a police officer I seen so many kids cut their days short for that reason Sir! Disrespectful to parents and elderly people! I hope and pray some young person and some older ones heard the message. God don't change people change towards Him! His Word forever stands!!
I may not very much like his comedy but I LOVE his views on raising kids and how kids should be respectful. his no nonsense for doing what's right by your parents no matter what...GREAT views..
Rickey you're such a blessing to this old world, may God continue to bless you and keep you covered in the blood of Jesus!!!! I'm thankful to be able to hear your messages.
Rickey Smiley you are awesome! Not only are you funny as heck but have been dropping so many pearls of wisdom. God bless you and your whole family. Please continue to speak these words of wisdom to these young people. It is so needed.
Don't leave out these disrespectful adult children! Wooooo my,my,my... Thanks for the message!
Amen!!! You are very correct!!!
Jesus what I deal with TODAY!🙏🏾
Mine are adults and disrespectful ass hell!
Amen and Amen!!
Amen
I'm 16 years of age and this made me sit back and think about it. I feel like I don't appreciate the things I have but this powerful message made me feel like I should be more appreciative for what I have. Thanks Rickey Smiley

Joshua Bruce WOW I am proud of you, "do better to always be better" "Do what you have to do,so you are able to do what you want to do". This is wisdom for your growth. you are one of the special ones, so treat your mother and yourself as so. Love your big brother J .

@@joshuabruce5926 May the Almighty God bless you!! Be great young man.!!
Young Man you are rare and you will go far in life 🤗
This message should be for the grown kids who have left home and treat their mother like dirt too!
It's an epidemic! 😢😢😢
This message has really blessed my soul... I’m going through HELL with my daughter... but I’m going to keep praying and believing knowing that MY GOD will bring about a change....
You are doing your best. Talk to her that you need her to help you because she will never have anyone other than God who will see her through.
I understand!!
We are all going to get through this together!!! There is a level of disconnect with the millenials that is jaw dropping
Never let anything compromise your God being, that include kids. If she doesn't fix up, and is old enough, she will need to change that energy or leave with that energy.
Protecting your God-being first is your first Godly rule.

PREACH!
Adult children need to learned from this video as well.

I have very nasty adult children very abusive and violent to me nothing i can do. about it tried i got arrested lost job car clothes they sold all possessions
My grown kids in there 20s do not seem to care how there actions make me feel at all because " as mom you had to stay mom . " But dad can do no wrong because you came in after they was born and took up the job of dad when another male didn't want to be dad . They talk to him but will not text me . We pay our grown daughters electric and trash and give her a place to park her trailer she got for free . I told my husband I didn't want our only truck lent out . He let her use it and she blew the radiator blew heads it's going to cost me 900 to fix it . She drove it as it was over heating . So now we have no way to do food shopping but hey she has friends to call that will help her . Yes I'm mad . Yes I feel like I used to ask what did I do wrong . Now I'm saying . I will not beg anyone to love me . I'm done . I'm going to get a vehicle that fits the need of mine and my man's so we can take trips in our early retirement and enjoy ourselves because his daughter will not let him see his grandchild our daughter has a boyfriend that is talking out the side of his unemployed mouth writing check his a$$ can't cash about how we dont clearly want to be grandparents yet she keeps taking it because he is the dad . I'm over it . I raised 2 kids at younger then them . Yet they can't handle themselves and have 1 on the way . It has me mad for what the future holds for them yet hopeful for hubby and I and what the next part of our life looks like .
Oh yes for sure !!!
My daughter is grown (26) and I’m so drained from her being so disrespectful constantly. Especially her text messages. You’d think I didn’t raise her. Then again, let her tell it, I didn’t. I’ve been dealing with this mess since she was 15/16. She blames me for everything that doesn’t go right in her life. When she listens to none of the advice I’ve given her. But she constantly listens and respects others I’m so tired of it. It’s just made me not want to be around it’s. Too draining... it’s even made me distance myself from certain family members because they believe her over me. But then when they talk to me it’s a different story. Why does showing me respect so hard to do?
🥲
I feel your pain I'm going through it now with my oldest two kids. I pray for your strength in the Lord and please lift me up too.
As someone who has a difficult mother. Your daughter is not doing this for no reason. You need to examine what you did. Your daughter isn't acting like that for no reason.
@@CJohnson19121 true
@@CJohnson19121 that’s not always true. Some times its the issues of the children. Unless you experience this first hand it’s very complicated! Sometimes they feel privileged yes, we are responsible for that. Because we tried to give them a better lifestyle than we had. Thanks for sharing.
Im 41 and i have a 19 year old now ,when i was 15 my dad and i got into a big fight and he tried to give me a birthday present i wouldn't accept the present and he walked away crying and i never told him im sorry on april the 1st he passed away in the morning at 5:30 a.m. a few months later i have never gotten over that day. So i understand exactly what this man is trying to say. God bless
Me too
Peace be with you. Find a chair, sit it in front of you, have a seat across from it and have a conversation with your father. He will be present.. God bless bro..
Damn wtf did he do lol
This is huge. Amen!!
I slept on the floor up until the age of 15 years old.
We were poor but my mother got up and went to work every morning. Much love and respect for my mother Juanita V. Morales
As far as my father well let’s just say that he kept his check to himself.
I love both my parents and hope that GOD keeps them with us for more years to come.
I love you Sir for this message thank you and GOD Bless you my brother.
Respect bro
You Sir is what i call a real man. A real man that's a success. The bible says to honor you mother and Father so that you may have a long life and be of good success . This is one of the ten commandments and the only one that comes with that promise . Exodus 20. May Yah bless you according to numbers 6 :23-26 . I dont know what its like to have a kid to respect and honor me the way you just did your Mom and Dad. I tried hard son . I am a African American female i was in this Army for 8years . I worked hard even when i got out after the 1st Gulf war to provide for my children and to teach them about the things and ways of God. When i had alot they was there and when i had nothing they werent. Now they have . As adults they are very successful. One is a Microbiologist for the FDA and the other is a big time Security Stockbroker for big banks . They have beautiful homes one in Colorado and the other here in Houston they dont want for nothing. Ive never heard them say thank you. . I pray and sometimes things are better but you know son i know its because i love Jesus and no kid on this earth can separate me from the Love of the Lord. Enough about me i take pleasure and so happy to know there are Men and others like you that love and respect thier parents. THANK YOU and God Bless you
Damn, he just read my life. I'm bout to play this for my 11 year-old girl
@rebecca shut up
Tears, just told my daughter, I rather die than have her disrespect me 1 more time!!!!
Diana Barnes, you keep being the Best Mother you can be. Keep talking, keep inspiring, and keep praying for strength for you and your child. I tell my two daughters, my magic book that helps me to raise them to the best of my ability, is my BIBLE. Just as I stated, I have 2 beautiful daughters that are God's gift. He chose me to share them with him...I say this because I know they belong to him, FIRST! Diana, I can feel your pain! Are my daughters good children? Yes...Are they respectful? Yes....Are they perfect? NO..... They are just like any other children that, sometimes get out of line...and have to be reminded, God has allowed me to make a million sacrifices for you, YOU WILL RESPECT ME AT ALL TIMES!!! My title is MOTHER, at ALL TIMES! not friend.....and I will say it again, I'm MOTHER, a lot of responsibilities come with that title....this responsibility wasn't given to a friend...Just as I love my daughters, I know children can make you cry sometimes.....How do I know? I have been there...So, Diana, you and any Mother who finds this message to be touching to the heart, keep pushing and praying.....God sees it all....Thank you Ricky Smiley, for your great wisdom from GOD!
I’ll send mine back to Jesus before they cause me any health problems. I have no problems cutting them off!!

PREACH!
Beautiful mothers don't fault y'all selves WHEN YOU KNOW YOU RAISED YOUR CHILD OR KIDS RIGHT. I'M UP IN AGE AND I NEVER DISRESPECTED MY MOTHER! WE HAD OUR NOT SO GOOD TIMES BUT I NEVER DISRESPECTED HER!!!
UNFORTUNATELY FOR THE MOMENT I'M WITH SOMEONE THAT'S NOT A GREAT PARENT. HER SON'S A WEAK MINDED LIAR, THAT FOLLOW HARD HEADED KIDS THAT DON'T RECEIVE TOUGH LOVE. DUMMIES ROBBED SOMEONE GOT LOCKED UP! FOOL SAID HE THOUGHT ABOUT COMMITTING SUICIDE SMH.. WANNABE BAD AZZ CRIED SEVERAL YEARS AGO WHEN THE POLICE PICKED UP HIM AND ANOTHER KID FOR BUSTING BOTTLES KNOWING VEHICLES DRIVE IN THE ALLEY.
SHE BABIED HIM FOR WAYYY TOO LONG. SHE'D SCREAM @THE GIRLS AND WHISPER AT HIM.
WHEN SHE STARTED TIGHTENING UP ON HIM HE FELT THE WORLD WAS AGAINST HIS COWARD AZZ.
What you said is very very touching !!!!!! God bless you
Thank you for this message. Adult children are the worst to their parents. I never talked back to my mom. Years years later I was so hurt by something she said then I snapped at the late age of 39 and spoke out badly. Sadly my mom passes away. My last words were horrible. I know she has forgiven me but it haunts me till today
If you disrespect your parents then have kids in the future then they will be disrespectful towards you and could even be worse because you disrespected your parents. Every time you dishonor your mother or father, your planting negative seeds that will reap onto your offspring UNLESS you repent and rip those seeds out in Jesus name.
Corey Barnes I'm in tear by your words.
Thank u
my son disrespect me all time n never listen me . but try make him undertand as a mom amd how I gave birth to he a loving child and need some deplience .
Amen Amen & Amen !
ALELUJAH!!!!!!!
Is that why parents are being disrespected? Cos they were being like that with their parents
Most children today seem to think their entitled and the world owes them something.. Thanks for this positive message...Peace Love light and BLESSINGS to you and yours...💕💕
yesss everything Rick says is true, I tell my child all the time
No child expects that you only think that honey all kid wants today is there parents to respect just as we respect them Let me tell you I know a lot of kids today that their parents don’t respect them they treat them like shit and it’s kind of frustrating because they think about we’re dumb and young and that we should be treated less then but we have to treat our parents like kings and queens but they treat us less than
Amen! Disrespectful adult children that you can't say nothing too. Adult children that fight their parent and curse them out. Adult children who never return parents calls text and bypass their own mom house that raised them single handed. God bless them. I refuse to lose one night of sleep.
I have a 22 year old son who I'm still paying his $600 car Insurance. I own a small business and he doesn't show up for work to Support his family last name. After hearing this, I dropped him today. I'm done. I'll let God help him now.
He crazy I'm 19 and work at fast food and attending college soon i"LL be glad to make money especially if it's my family business and not work under anyone else!
Also he should be paying his own car insurance that's the problem it seems he wants everything handed to him and use to it.
@Gice Rum Get a tutor
@Gice Rum The right Tutors are very helpful. And maybe testing can be done just to make sure there is no learning disabilities which can cause lack of understanding, And or confusion. Hopefully a conversation will start the process.
@Wayne H don’t blame the adult. Im Telling u some kids are just hard headed no matter what. My sister has 3 kids all 3 made different life choices
Sending this to my 13 year old son. This is very great. Disrespect brings a curse to the family unit.
I just did to!
"The six doorways to the enemy" book.
Thank you so much for making this video. Both my grown sons turned on me last year because they felt I could have done a better job of raising them. I was a single parent. I left my marriage because my husband would not take care of his family(He was in another relationship) I was a good mother and I did the best I could! If it wasn't for my Faith in God this situation would have given me a nervous breakdown! I came from a single mother but all my life I love and took care of my mother.We all make mistakes raising children butI always put my children first. If anyone came up against me and my two sons then you were a problem. They both finish high school, college, and went in the Military. Now I'm old and sick they both have deserted me.They say, they don't owe me anything! I never asked for much. Just a little help now and then.The oldest son wife hasnt spoke to me in 4 years. We disagree on raising my grandson(I spank him 4 yrs ago) He needed it. You are not going to tear my house up.You have to show children right way to go because one day they are going to be stronger than you are. Please pray for my family. My heart is broken.Don't grow up and mistreat your parents. Thank you for this opportunity to express myself. You are doing a great job. May God bless you and your family.
Rosita Young you do not owe those boys not one thing, damn them and damn the grand child get outside help and live your life too the fullest and stop having regrets and feeling down pray for em if you feel like it!!!!!!! And let that aggravation go !!!!!!!! Love and respect!!!!
@@lisanewman5395 AMEN 🙏🏽
Father God I speak peace in Jesus name!
My daughter and I caught this message, she was on her way to school and said thank you mama for all you do. Very powerful! Thank you Ricky Smiley!
You said it Ricky. My daughter is 31 the last child she is very disrespectful. It hurts because she was the one that was always struck to me all the time. They say the that you do so much for the one sticks to you will be the one that will hurt you the most. Thats so true. God see everything.🙏🙏🙏
Thank you Rickey!!!! These millenials feel a sense of entitlement... It's like the new disease with little to no cure. Lord help this generation and the parents!!!
👏👏 girl!!!!
It's the parents of the millennials NOT the millennials!! They get Too Much That's why they're Entitled. Who are the parents really trying to impress by giving their children everything they want?? Be honest with yourself, WHO??
Very true. Makes you wonder who raised them. Oh wait.....🤔😐
Amen
The parents ARE the millennials. First wave millennials are in their late 30s now. This kids were talking about are the generation after the millennials. Don't know what they're called. Gen Z maybe?
I started family councilling after the death of my children's father. I told the councillor that I don't tolerate any disrespect from my children. I said it shows ingratitude for the person who makes everything happen for them. The councillor says I should say the same statement to myself!?! Huh?
He says I should pick my battles with them. I argued it and said O don't ever let a disrespect go unchallenged. I feel like I'm paying a fortune to be trained to enable my children to be abusers of others. My blood boils when my children talk to me like dirt. The councillor says I have anger issues because my parents were too strict and I'm setting up my children to suffer. Then I head this which is confirming my belief of demanding respect for the work we put in. I'm nobody's doormat not even my own flesh.
Clear Channel Preach 🙌🙏❤
Please get a righteous counselor 😳this one ain't no help...
I work in behavioral health clear channel, and I agree with you. Sounds like your counselor wants you to adapt and enable your child. I'm in the same boat as you and we need to go back to the basics we were taught. I enable my children sometimes I want to give them everything and then to turn around and be disrespected. I was raised on tough love and respecting my elders. We need to teach the youth that respect and morales go a long way.
I agree...dismiss this counselor...BAD business(100%)
That Counselor was using his text book to hit you on the head...BLACK KIDS NEED a different type of intellectual discipline...What was good for the gooses is good for the ganders!!!
I NEVER disrespected my cousins, aunts, uncles, grandmothers, grandfather nor mother.
My mother did not raise me half of my life before 10...NOR came back. I seen her at 16, 32 and 42....I was reintroduced to her at 42 and we spoke daily to weekly...she had 2 strokes when I was 49 and 50...During pandemic I drove 3000 miles to get her out of rehab and stayed 9 months and set her up with aids and financial support for her significant other to bring resources in their home...I made sure her house was clean, organized, safe and full of supplies...I still manage their payroll long distance...The entire time I was there she tried to slander my name and attack me VERBALLY AND PHYSICALLY WHILE I also tried to complete a degree program...She doesn't call anymore unless it a problem...and when I call her she asks as if I am annoying or bothering her...NONE of her other 3 kids came to help nor calls but once a month...
TO THIS DAY MY OWN CHILDREN WERE UPSEY WITH ME FOR SEEING ABOUT MY ASTRANGED MOTHER.
I CONSIDERED IT AN ASSIGNMENT FROM GOD.
The Bible also says for parents not to provoke their children to anger. No one ever brings that up though.
I'm in tears right now 😢 I'm a single father who is trying to raise 2 kids. Right now I'm struggling with a disrespectful daughter who is full of potential but her negative attitude is her down fall. Thank you Mr. Smiley.
Listening to this 8:30 a.m. on my way to my job at social social services with tears in my eyes and chest pains. 42 years old. Been through the worst of the worst! Thank you for expressing this.
See my man know EXACTLY what to say...standing ovation #👋👈
God Bless You Mr. Smiley. I'm seeing this post very late but the Lord knew I needed to hear this. I have 2 daughters 17 and 25, and I'm a single parent, and I know about ALL this stuff bcuz I'm living it. And it's hard. I am damned if I do and damned when I dont. Heartbreaking.
My grandmother told me the same thing. Thank God I listened. I'm 61years old, amen👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
I just sent this to my 15 daughter, she needs to hear this from someone else
I have to listen to this message often because it's so true. Honor your Mother and Father or your Days will be short lived.
Thank u I have never heard this but 5years later. When Im listening and really breaking down and feeling like nobody understands. And I'm having chest pains at 37 years old because of my grown disrespectful 21year old and my couldn't give a dam about nothing 19 year old. This gave me a silent tap on my back that reminded me I'm not alone and GOD PUTS NO MORE THAN I CAN HANDLE. Thanks so much

Going through it with my 15 year old daughter.
I set boundaries yet give her trust and freedom until I see that trust has been broken. I punish her she gets sneaky....and I get physical. She calls CPS. The weapon formed against didn’t prosper. She ran away Sunday night to her little boy’s house while his mom worked overnight. I knew she was there when I saw her gone, God is good because she didn’t get kidnapped on her long walk to his house. She has turned into some one I don’t
know. So I let her go live with her bio dad that just got out of prison in Feb while we were on a Bahamas 🇧🇸 cruise. Lol
I’m reclaiming my peace and focus. I have 2 toddlers that doesn’t need to see their mom crazy over a disobedient spirit. My husband never treated
her like a step child. I know God will get the glory in the end, I’m just on an emotional roller coaster.
I trust GOD will protect her from hurt harm and danger.
Reading this two years later and I am going through this exact same issue almost identical to your story but I have a 16 year old son. I hope things got better but in my situation I also have to let him go because I have two kids to think about and one on the way and I don't need that additional stress and I feel so much more peace in my home now that he is gone.
@@rineekabrooks3529 don’t feel bad. After years of fighting with my 17 year old son, I finally forced him over there to go with his dad. He crushed my heart, but it’s been quiet and peaceful ever cents. He thought he could run the household and run me and I had to show him one of us had to go and it’s not gonna be me. I put him out and never look back. Now he’s over there living with his dad dealing with his dad’s rules and he don’t give him any problems. So at this point it is what it is he’s eating now I’m hopeful that he’s matured a little bit before he graduates this year and hope there’s some point he has enough decency to come back and apologize for the way he acted in my home. I’m not even sure if our relationship would ever be the same but I couldn’t let him stay here trying to run circles around me.🥂🤷🏽♀️
It touch me! I did a disservice to my teenage daughter and SPOILED HER, never said, "No", never gave her chores, let her think she was in charge! Now, I would never live with her in this state! I did her a disservice! I hope I have enough years left in my life to undo it. What a good message! I am a single mother also, traded my time for pay to keep a roof over our head. What a mess! And I wish my daughter could hear this also. I wish something would make her appreciate what she has.
You can ruin a child by buying & giving them any & every thing ..... And not whooping their ass when they needed it !
I know this is 3 years old, but you can’t blame yourself for sacrificing to take care of your daughter. I went through the same thing! Apologized to her for the lack of time for having to work endless hours to make sure we were straight! Even after that, the disobedience is consistent! As single mother’s we have to do what we have to do in order to provide! This SHOULD breed appreciative kids.
Great message! Just sent it to my 17 yr old son that disrespects me. I don't understand it. I wasn't raised this way.
I was crying last night, hurting because of the way my 16yr old son is disrespecting me. It's just too much, I feel abused by the child I brought into this world
When it's their birthdays, I buy them NOTHING, as they contribute NOTHING!
Thank you Rickey Smiley. Just sent this to my son because I have nothing new to say!!!
BLESS. U. Mr. Rickey
100% TRUTH. Everyday.
FATHER help our children
In JESUS. Name. Amen.
Out of any video on UA-cam, this one should have ZERO dislikes. This the is the truth! I lost my dad in 2018 right before fathers day. Trust me it was plenty of things I wish I did and said different. Now those things haunt me plenty of days. Young or old please listen and share this video.
Mann I feel u. Mann my daughter just passed behind simular stuff mann I feel u ...
I’m goin thru the EXACT same thing with my 16yr old son very DISRESPECTFUL. I needed to hear this and as well I’m goin to share this message with him too. Thank you Mr Rickey Smiley
Be sure to because, he could only get worse!!! Mine sure did..
So true my brother I'm a living testimony lost my mother at a early age and i can relate to it blessings to Rickey please continue to send the younger generations that great food for thought God bless you and your crew my brother.
THIS MESSAGE IS FOR US ADULTS TOO
Although Ricky's message with regards to this video is directed to young folks...I'm also taking Ricky's message to heart as a 52 year old man. Why? Because learning new ways of improving my life never gets old. There's always, always room for improvement. At my age I could literally pick my Momma up with 1 finger and still she commands my respect and admiration. If my mom was standing before my face, I'd be incline to ask her permission to cuddle my own wife in front of her company.
Oh, and 1 more thing. Women are the only people who may find themselves as single parents.
SKIRRRRRRRT! WRONG THERE! Women don't corner the market on being single parents. There are JUST as many men raising children alone as there are women so before you move your tongue to the left to make room for your foot to go in your mouth, make damn sure that you quantify and verify your statement BEFORE you post it in a public forum.
@@williamjones6276 sir I think it was a clerical error, I believe it was supposed to say "aren't" instead of are.
@@williamjones6276 there aren't just as many dads who single parents. Of all single-parent families in the U.S.,single mothers make up the majority. According to 2018 U.S. Census Bureau,4 out of about 11 million single parent familieswith children under the age of 18, more than 80% were headed by single mothers. Are there single fathers, yes! But to say it's equal is incorrect.
He meant to say women AREN'T the ONLY ones who are single parents.🤔
Brother... Very Powerful Life is like a Vapor!!!!! Real Talk

Jazzy T u are beautiful. that's all
Finally someone speaking for the parents. Nowadays I see kids taking they parents to court and kids making adult decisions on TV. Smh we all need to hear this. Thanks Ricky
This changed my life. Stay woke treat your parents with respect!
You hit it on the nail Ricky. My 12 yr. Old daughter was my pride and joy and I gave her everything I never had. Birthday parties every year, small trips every summer when I could afford it. She is is so disrespectful now. Think she's grown and talks back. Please pray for me and her to restore our relationship and help her to be happy and not so angry.
Was your pride and joy? I'm assuming that she still is your pride and joy. Also, your situation is not unique. Kids that age are hormonal, insecure, dealing with their changing bodies and emotions, and just angry at the world. Also, has your daughter ever heard you speaking rudely of disrespectfully to someone...whether that some is her father, stepfather, another adult family member, (or even her)? I'm not accusing you of doing these things, but do know that kids pattern the behavior they see.
Sometimes, what parents get wrong is thinking that giving a child what they need, materially, is enough to meet all their child's intangible needs. Sometimes what a child appreciates most ain't got nothing to do with birthday parties, gifts, etc. Sometimes, they want to someone who'll LISTEN to them, someone who the can vent their grievances to without it being it being dismisses as "talking back"...someone who'll listen to them even when you don't agree with them. When kids aren't given room to respectfully be themselves, they'll disrespectfully be themselves. Ask me how I know? 22 years ago, I was that 12 year-old.
Nine of what I'm stating implies that a parent should allow a child to run the home, but it does make them feel valued as a human being when all of their dissenting feelings aren't disregarded.
Praise God for Jesus! Thank you Ricky Smiley for having courage to uplift God in these trying times. God bless you and everyone you love.
Tell it like it is Ricky! My daughter (who is a single parent) need to hear this message. My you and the family be blessed always.
Wow.....Sitting here at my desk crying. This is the same thing I try to explain to my son. God bless you Rickey!!!!

Yes, this is a spiritual yes. Some of these kids need help learning to respect. There are more short graves than long ones. You're telling it Rickey!
POWERFUL! We need to hear this type of wisdom EVERYDAY! So true, honor your parents so that your days will be not be shortened on earth. It’s tight, but it’s right.
This message should be played on the PA system in every school.
Wow this is the pure truth. Thanks
Rickey, you are a 5 star general Sir! Thank you for caring ❤.
Ricky I so appreciate you for keeping it 💯!! God favor and blessings continue to keep you and cover you. 🙏
OMG This needs to be said more often. So powerful and so true. Next please mention the grandmothers who take these kids in when their parents are having problems and how ungrateful and entitled their attitudes can be when really they could be homeless. After they have raised their kids and ready to enjoy life here they come bringing drama and nonsense. It is heart breaking and ridiculous. Thank you Mr. Smiley. It really needs to be said more often. I really believe thats why we lose so many of our young people not all but many because Gods word is true.
Real rap. I feel. U my just passed behind all that peace....
This was so encouraging to me today.
Thanks for this powerful message!
Tell it ! The truth ! God bless u, Rickey. 👏🙏
I am preaching this word right now. I'm extremely tired. The best love I can give is hard love. I didn't plan the seed of disrespect. My 21 year old son will soon learn what accountability is. I can pray to save and ask that God has mercy on his soul.
God bless you Ricky Smiley these kids really need to hear this before its too late.

You're an amazing blessing, young lady! You give parents hope! Keep up the right attitude and you'll go higher and farther than you can dream. 💖🙋🏽♀️
Wow great job wish my life wasn't full of abusive parents
I can vouch for my Brother Rickey Smiley he is an outstanding guy who stands by his word..I remember him standing up at T.West funeral and stating that he would be there for my son TJ and he has been there ever since,although TJ has me his mom and his step father we knew Rickey would be a positive influence in TJ'S LIFE. ..words can't express the Love and respect we have for him and his Role in TJ'S life TJ is the better because of your hand in his life and for that I'm very Grateful . .TJ and Terrell are wise beyond their years and will do Great things because of the Seeds you have sown. .TEENS listen up take heed to these words spoken from my Brother Rickey Smiley. .you're a teen you do have a voice but it's all in the presentation how you deliver it coupled with Respect and God fearing love you will win every time..
Stop- Think and Choose your tone and Your words wisely !
Keep speaking life Rickey love you more...
Taliesha Cash, 3 years later, your spoken words are truly words of wisdom! Thank you.....
I appreciate this video. I’d love to hear one that points out and encourage the youth who continuously do what they are asked. You talk about honoring parents. Let’s encourage the ones whose parents make it hard to honor. The ones that cause trauma and yet the children are still what we consider amazing.
Rickey U said that! Beautiful job of sharing the real truth!
Mr. Smiley, God had to put that on your heart to say! I'm a police officer I seen so many kids cut their days short for that reason Sir! Disrespectful to parents and elderly people! I hope and pray some young person and some older ones heard the message. God don't change people change towards Him! His Word forever stands!!
So true Ricky,yes indeed,tell it like it is,thanks for sharing.
Omg this guy made me cry 😔, the best talk I ever heard thank you 👍💪
I may not very much like his comedy but I LOVE his views on raising kids and how kids should be respectful. his no nonsense for doing what's right by your parents no matter what...GREAT views..
God have mercy on the future of our society. We are looking at a broken tomorrow kids. Please remember that what you give out comes back
This was a great message
Rickey you're such a blessing to this old world, may God continue to bless you and keep you covered in the blood of Jesus!!!! I'm thankful to be able to hear your messages.
very deep message! 🖒
Truth
