Oh shit, we on the air. Welcome back to yet another Catholic Reckless episode. What's your girl, Just Hilarious? Listen, I'm just now getting my voice back as I have been recovering from all the karaoke I've been doing over the holidays, y'all. It's been a lot of fun. You know, everything from eating to karaoke to, man, me and my family know how to party. We know how to have fun on the holidays. And

And we like to set our own trends. I hope all is well with everybody. I wish everybody the best of times as we are in a very trying season right now. A lot of people are going through things. Before I start the episode, I want to take the time and just tell everybody, you know,

You are not alone in your season of need. You are not alone in your season of trial and tribulation. You are not alone in your season of loneliness. You are not alone in your season of anti. Like, you're not alone. You guys are not alone. I don't want anybody to ever make the mistake of thinking that they are alone right now. I'm even going through shit. You understand what I'm saying? And while everybody's problems are not financial problems,

People are still having problems. Everybody's problem is not mental illness, you know, your mental health depleting. Everybody doesn't have the same issues. However, we're all struggling with something. And that's what we have in common. And that's where we can kind of look at each other and say, I got you. You know what I'm saying? Even if I can't give you exactly what you need to help you soar or flourish, we're all going through something.

So we can all meet each other at that level of humility. You know what I mean? And strive for greatness together. You know what I'm saying? Because that's where we all can relate. Love you guys. Hope all is well, man. Just I really, really do hope all is well. Or...

Hope all gets better. Let's just say that. Because I know all isn't well with everyone. You know, I hope all gets better, man. Prayerfully, all gets better. All right, we're going to jump right in. This is a long, long, long, long PDF, but they actually took the time.

to compose this message the right way. I'm sorry, I'm seeing punctuation marks and everything. Look, somebody passed English with flying colors. All right, here we go. Okay, this is long. Please fix my mask or I'm going to jail. Bitch, do you want me in prison, the fuck? No, I don't.

I got into an argument with my son's father's girlfriend on Facebook. Okay, so your baby father's girlfriend. All right, cool. Within the argument, she said that's why she spends more time with my son's father than he does with his son. Also, her friend chimed in and said what he don't do for my son. Who flexes about a man not taking care of his son? Right, especially if you're the friend of the bitch that he with. That don't make sense.

Unless that girlfriend is doing some talking, because how else would her homegirl know that? Right. Let's fast forward to the 4th of July. I popped up to get my son, and the girl was there. I never said anything to her directly, but I was disrespectful, saying things like, why do you have this bitch around my son, etc. I met up with my son's father. After that, he apologized and said he was wrong. So from July 9th to August 26th, never heard from the man again. Hmm.

He called me August 26th. Okay. So that was about six weeks. All right. He called me August 26th and asked if he can get my son. I said no, because he hadn't reached out in over six weeks. Listen, I'm a mathematician. Okay. I said six weeks. And here she goes. She followed up. And the next paragraph, she said it was six weeks. Okay.

Now here is September. The girlfriend kicked him out. Oh, so he was living with her. He's asking me for money and to sleep on my couch. I said no and tried to be cool with him. My son had a party September 30th. He didn't come to the party, nor did he get him a gift. Okay, so I'm guessing it was his birthday. And yes, he was invited. I cussed his bald-headed ass out again. Now here is October 17th. He texted, I want to see my son. I told him, take me to court.

Now, November 17th comes. I got a new job. It'll be working every other weekend. So I reached out and asked if he can babysit for me. He said yes. Babysitting? His own son? It ain't babysitting if it's your child, boo. I asked him where he will have the baby. Then he replied, where I fucking pay bills. Mind y'all, he ain't done shit for my son since April, but you paying big bills. Child support, hoe. Okay.

I know you talking shit. I'm getting to the point now. I ain't talk my shit yet. I got some shit to talk to you though. So I told him I really need him to start getting the baby. All I need from him is to introduce me to his girlfriend the correct way. He said no because he's still mad. I violated her in front of his whole family. Okay, so it's the same girlfriend. Okay, he went back to her. Mind you, I am a hundred pounds soaking wet. That's why you so goddamn angry little self.

And she's about 500 pounds. Damn, hold up. And that's me being nice. Hey, yo. Anyways, so I said, my baby not going over there until we can have a conversation. He said that I just wanted to have control over the situation and that our time to have a convo will come. So should I let the baby go without me having a conversation with the girl? Because I feel any bitch that mentioned a kid in an argument don't need to be around the kid.

Mm-mm. Okay, I can see how you feel like that. Also, if she feels the way toward me, why the fuck does she need to be around my kid? Because she's his father's girlfriend.

You do sound bitter. You do. I'm not going to call you bitter because I don't know you. I don't know every little thing that you guys go through. Again, you're just giving me the basics of the story and all the key components, which is all I needed to help fix your mess. I will say you do sound bitter, you know, if I can repeat that. Whether his girlfriend is 600, 700, a thousand pounds, that's who he's with.

And that is the woman that you will have to respect him for. You know what I'm saying? I'm not going to go so far as to say, oh, you have to respect her. Because listen, I sat down with Laverne Cox a long time ago, right? And she did say one thing to me that I can honestly say I took from her.

And I took it with grace and I apply it now to my life. We have to stop thinking people owe us respect. You understand what I'm saying? We have to stop thinking that. Because I remember having a conversation with her. It was about a previous argument I had had with a trans woman. Right? And I was telling her.

I don't give a fuck what you do. You will respect me. You have to respect me. You're going to respect me. And she said very, very calmly, you know, what makes you think they have to respect you? Like they don't. They actually don't have to. You know what I'm saying? You know, you can't control what somebody else feels. You can't control how somebody else act towards you. You can't. You can only control yourself. So whether you're doing something to be respected or not,

That doesn't mean the opposing person is going to respect you or even has to. So to that point, I don't want to say you have to respect her. I don't want to say you have to respect her. But there needs to be a level of respect as it involves your child, you know, because

whether you want to admit it or not, you do need his dad. You need his dad. You need his dad for numerous reasons. You just got a new job. Congratulations. A better job. And I love that. Working mom. I love that. But you're going to need help. And instead of spending money on someone to babysit him, he can get his own son. Because apparently he was doing bad. There was a season where he wasn't

As financially stable as you were, or even as his girlfriend was. I don't know why he got put out, but apparently he went through a rough time. Now, that's not your business, neither your concern. You know, you're not obligated to feel sorry about that or to feel any type of concern for him.

You know what I mean? When it comes to that. But as a co-parent to your child, I do think it's very important that you at least acknowledge that he is doing something. He's paying bills in the house that he lives in. I mean, he couldn't come stay on your couch until he got himself together. You know what I mean? So...

The fact that he's in a position now to be able to pay bills in the house that he sleeps in, which he is supposed to do, you know, I think that's commendable, you know, on his part. And it actually sets a great example of what a man is to your son. You know what I'm saying? I don't know how old the baby is, but it's never too early to teach or to show that

That you can be a role model to your child, especially as a father. You understand what I'm saying? So let's just commend him on that. Moving forward. You got into an argument with your son's father's girlfriend on Facebook. Typical. Very fucking typical.

Yeah, I'm saying it. I don't care. That's typical. And that is asinine and idiotic and it's immature. And we can leave that to the goddamn kids. That's what we can do. We can leave that to the high school, middle school kids. We can leave that to the tick tockers and shit like that. Okay.

We ain't doing that. And by we, I mean you and me. I can't control his girlfriend. I can't control his girlfriend's friend. You know, I'm talking to you. You're my client. You know, I love saying that. You know what I mean? But no, you know, you're the one that I'm helping. So I'm going to talk to you. I don't really care to give a damn too much about the girlfriend and the friend fussing with you online.

You're too mature for that. Or are you? You got to turn the mirror on yourself, you know, because I'm sure just as dumb as you thought she looked arguing with the baby mother, who is you, you looked just as dumb arguing with the girlfriend of the baby father. You understand what I'm saying? Because arguing for what? Ask yourself that question.

Because if you would have never gotten into that argument, you wouldn't have never given her the chance to even tell you, oh, I spend more time with your baby father than his own son. She's already stupid to even say that. Like for that to be a rebuttal. Like what? OK, clap it up for being with a nigga who don't want to be. I'm sorry. I'm going way too ghetto. Being with a man.

Who'd rather spend more time with his girlfriend than his fucking child. You understand what I'm saying? Yeah, clap it up for that. I just would have just laughed at her and repeated everything back to her that she said to me. Just in a more sarcastic way to make her feel stupid. You know what I'm saying? Instead, you went along with it and you got upset.

And then our friend chimed in and said, what he don't do for your son. Now, I said this briefly in reading his story, but I didn't want to stray too far away from reading his story. I wanted to get it all out. You know, her friend is only getting that information from her, right? Like that the friend is constantly listening to her friend vent about her man.

And about you and about your child. So the friend is just, she ain't even nobody to be worried about. That's just somebody on her side. Just like if you had somebody on your side to chime in and go at the girlfriend. You understand what I'm saying? Fuck them for the time being. Now you said on the 4th of July when you popped up to get your son, the girl was there. You said, you never said anything directly to her, but she was disrespectful saying shit like,

Why do you have this bitch around my son, et cetera? Now, if she was right there in the room, she should have got up and smacked the shit out you. I'm just not even going to hold you. You know what I'm saying? Because how would you feel? How would you feel if you dating a man and his baby mother come in the house? Don't even look at you. You ain't got to say hi. She ain't got to say hi to you. But the first thing she said,

To the baby father is, why do you have this bitch around my son? And then you said, et cetera. You didn't even tell me everything you said. So I know your little ass got smart, real bad, real disrespectful. And in this woman's house, you popped up. That ain't his house. Or he wouldn't have got put out of it to begin with. You popped up in her house. I know your child is there. I know that. And you are by right as a mother go get your child from any fucking where he is.

But the disrespect in her house was crazy just because you don't like her. I also want to know how y'all ended. Like, you know, are y'all over each other? Because he apologized to you and said he was wrong for having her around. Why would he be wrong for having his girlfriend around? His girlfriend that he lives with around his son. She got to be around your baby, boo. Because he lives there.

But you would want to slap the shit out of your boyfriend's baby mother if she came up in your house asking, not even directly to you, to your baby dad, I mean, to your boyfriend, why is this bitch around my son? Because, bitch, this is my house and both of y'all can get the fuck out.

You know what I'm saying? If I ain't slap you, I would have said that. And I know, I know, even though you're 100 pounds soaking wet, your little ass will jump into my face. I can just tell. You will. And you will put your hands on somebody if you have to. I can tell that as well. I was 100 pounds as well before, soaking wet, just as mad as I wanted to be because I kept getting tried because everybody thought I was little and I couldn't fight. So every chance I got, I proved that I could fight.

But now that I'm older and I'm looking back, it's like, what the fuck did I have to prove that for? You understand what I'm saying? So I went a little left with that. That was off topic. But you know you needed that. You needed me to say that. Moving forward. So from July 9th to August 26th, those six weeks you said you haven't heard from, you didn't hear from him at all. Then he called you on the 26th asking if he could see his son. Why say no, babe? Why say no?

Well, you told me why. Your reason to that is he hadn't reached out in over six weeks. Okay, so does he not reach out for the rest of his life? Or does he reach out after the six weeks?

You know what I'm saying? Because if he wouldn't have reached out at all still right now to this day, that would be an even bigger problem. But the fact it took him six weeks, if it had took him three weeks, you still would have had a problem with it. Because it's not really about how long it took for him to hit you back or to even inquire about his son. It's not about that. And I'm going to wait for your update to tell me what else it's really about.

Now, a couple months ago, the girlfriend kicked him out and he started asking you for money and to sleep on the couch. You said no. But you did say you tried to be cool with him. I commend you on that. That was very mature of you. But is the only reason that you tried to be cool with him is because he got kicked out and he wasn't with the girlfriend no more? Because, girl, I'm on to your ass. Or at least I think I am. And I'm almost never wrong in these instances. Okay. Okay.

Then you said your son had a birthday party. Now listen, you never confirmed whether it was his birthday or not, but I'm just going to automatically assume it was until you tell me otherwise. He didn't come.

Yes, that was fucking wrong. And you said he was invited. That was wrong. I don't care what you're going through unless you laid up in a motherfucking hospital or unless somebody wanted, you know, your mom, your dad, somebody in your immediate family laid up in a hospital or something. If you physically could not make it, you were supposed to be at that boy's party.

October 17th, he texted you and said he wanted to see his son. His son, I'm sorry. Y'all son. You told him take you to court. Why? Bitter as hell. Bitter as hell. Why would you rather go to... Girl, let me tell you something. You know how many men actually needs to be taken to court. Do you know that? To see their son. Do you know how many men actually have to fight to

the courts to see their child because the mom is a bitter bitch. Do you know? No, no, no. Seriously, that's a real question I'm asking you. Do you know? I got a couple of them in my family, a couple of bitter ass cousins who still want their baby father. And because he didn't want to be with them, but he was still a good dad, they took his ass downtown. They took him to put him on child support. Oh, I'm going to fix you. No, you're not really fixing anything.

You're not. You're not fixing anything. You're fucking everything up, to be honest with you. You fucking up this man's life, to be honest. And you honestly not doing a good deed by your child, especially if you don't need to take the father to court. I think that was very fucking wrong of you. And mind you, you said you listening to everything I'm saying and I'm being hard on your main ass.

Because why take him to court if you still going to need him? You know what I mean? That's his father forever. It doesn't stop being his father ever. Just, you know, just because you're upset.

That's his dad. And after all those times you told him no, I commend him again on still not giving up completely. He hits you. He gives you time. I see there's a pattern. He knows how angry and mad and aggressive his baby mother can get. So he likes to give you time because you're a ticking time bomb. I see that. He gives you time to cool the fuck off, whether that be days or weeks or whatever. And then he hits you up again to see the baby. Now, a man that you take to court is a motherfucker that gives up.

or never wanted to see the child from the beginning, those are the men that you take to court because you only use the courts when you need them, when you have exhausted all options. If you love me, you'll listen to this commercial and then we'll be right back.

Now you said November 17th. Congratulations. You got a new job, boo. And you'll be working every other weekend. You reached out to him. You reached out and asked if he can babysit for you. First of all, it ain't babysitting if it's my fucking son. Letting you know that now.

We ain't doing that shit. And don't, don't ever call him a babysitter. Cause you ain't paying that nigga. You will never pay him to keep his son. And he ain't sitting on your baby. I got that from my mother. Cause my mom works in childcare administration. She's a licensed daycare provider, professional, right? She has a preschool and people used to get it fucked up. She hates the term babysitter. She said, I do not sit on nobody's babies. I love that. And I'm, I'm, I'm passing it on to you. So shit, pass the torch to whoever you can later in life.

All right. And when you ask them if he can babysit, if he can have his baby, if he can keep your baby for you, he said yes. What? He wasn't bitter about it at all.

He said yes, even after you gave him a hard fucking time. Take me to court. No, you can't, Sam. Y'all ain't hear from you in six weeks. I hate you. Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da. Your girlfriend a fat bitch. All that. I know he got all that shit. He got all them words and some more from you. And he simply said yes. Why? Because he probably missed his fucking son.

That's not a guy you take the court bull again and I'm going to keep saying it, hard head. So then you get in his business. I ask him where he will have the baby. Now as a mother, you have the right to ask that question. And as a dad, he has the right not to fucking tell you. Because when my son is in my care, I take care of him the way I see fit. When he's in your care, I don't ask where he is. You take care of him the way you see fit. But giving his previous situation to understand why you wanted to know. Because he had just got put out.

You didn't know he got back with the girl. I can clearly see that. He replied to you where I fucking pay bills. That means he's had it. He fed up with your ass. He had enough of your smart ass mouth. You say, mind you, he ain't done shit for my son since April. But you paying big bills. Child support. Oh, say, look at your bitter ass again. Bitter, bitter. What you doing?

He ain't done shit for your son, probably because he can't even fucking see him. You mean to tell me you want me to send you money? You want me to jump when you say jump to get the little baby, whatever you need, but I can't even fucking lay my eyes on him? I can't see him? I can't come get him? You ought to be ashamed of yourself for that bullshit. I'm serious.

Now later on in your passage, I do see that you said, okay, cool. I want to just be able to have a conversation with the girl. I do. He told you no. He was still mad over what y'all previously had went through. You know what I'm saying? And then

I doubt, highly doubt that that was only his decision. His girlfriend probably said, nah, fuck her. The way she disrespects me, she'll never get a conversation out of me. And by right, she's correct about that. However, she has to be around your child. Has to be around your child.

So something has to give. Something has to give. Either y'all buried a hatchet, you apologize. I don't care what you saying. I don't care if you cuss me out. I don't give a fuck. You have to apologize. That's the only way. And then she has to apologize. The reason why I say you have to apologize to her is because you disrespected the fuck out of her in her house. You know what I'm saying? And if she's 600 pounds,

She probably took all day to get up and slap shit out. I told you, you know what I mean? You'd have been halfway home by the time she stood up fully. You understand what I'm saying? If she's that size, you know, but that's why I say you need to apologize to her. But y'all two furthermore need to meet up, you know, and just talk outside of him. No homegirls, no nothing. Just talk.

Between y'all. You lay out on the table the issues you have with her. Hopefully she can do the same. If you don't want to do that, fuck it. Don't do it. But what you asked me was should you let the baby go without you and the girl having a conversation?

I believe so. I believe it wouldn't be. Listen, your son's dad is not going to let anybody harm him. And if you think that you need to let me know that, too, because then that's the bigger issue. But from what it sounds like, he would never put his son in any harm or danger, whether it's the fucking girlfriend or not. It seems like, you know, he wouldn't do that.

From just, you know, just from what I'm gathering here, man, I'm going to answer this last question and then I'm going to need you to update me. You need to write me back. You said, I feel any bitch that mentioned a kid in an argument don't need to be around a kid. I agree with you to a certain extent. And then you said also, if she feel a way towards me, why the fuck she need to be around my kid? I already answered that because she's with his dad. She don't owe you nothing.

I want you to understand that. She don't owe you shit just like you don't owe her shit. Y'all don't owe each other nothing unless y'all want to move forward amicably and be at least mutual. Be at least neutral for this kid. Because right now it's a little village. It's not just you and his dad raising him.

It's you, his dad, and the girlfriend because that's a household. You understand what I'm saying? So she's going to be there every time he's there. And she's going to have a help in assisting his father with him because she lives there. I don't care if it's making dinner, if it's checking homework, if it's whatever it is, boo, you have to be okay with that. And in order for you to be okay with that, you got to get over that man fully.

And just like that, we've come to the end of yet another Catholic Reckless episode. Listen, I'm fixing mess up and down, left and right. And I actually love this story. And I'm actually curious as to know what she will say. You know what I mean? What she will say.

update me with, you know, it just seems like I know she loves her baby and I know she's a good mother and I know that she don't really want to take that nigga to court. She don't want to take him to court. I just feel like she's very hurt. She's tired, you know, of feeling like he puts the girlfriend before her son. I understand that.

But that is his girlfriend. And it don't look like she going nowhere. You know what I mean? And neither is the baby. He's not going anywhere. And neither is she, the mother. She's not going anywhere. Neither one of them are going anywhere. Right? So they have to figure out a way that they can all at least be neutral.

It's no way. It's no way. Because then that will affect the fucking child. And that is the last thing that you want for the baby.

to see some unhealthy co-parenting shit going on. That's why me and my son's dad, we do it and we do it the best. I still haven't seen another co-parenting bond like me and my son's dads. Me and Jerome, crystal clear on every decision. That man don't make a decision for my son unless he run it past me and vice versa. Even with my boyfriend. Listen.

Listen, it's a village. My son is being raised not only by me and my son's dad. It's me, Rome, which is his dad, my boyfriend, Chris, Jerome's girlfriend, you know, my mom, my boyfriend's mom, you know, my dad.

So it's a village. My sister, his aunt, you know, my son's aunt, Rome's brother, which is Ashton's uncle. It's a village and it takes that. You understand what I'm saying? You can't do it by yourself. You can't. Well, I'm going to change that. Now, you can do it by yourself. Mothers out here do it every day. I know mothers. You can.

But why when you don't have to? Why would you? Because that shit ain't easy. It's not easy raising a boy by yourself, even with the help of the fucking courts. It's better when you have a parent that wants to be present and that is his father, right?

So update me, girl. And I already concluded the episode. I just went back into it. I really, really like this story. This shit touched me. It really, really did touch me. And I got a little soft spot for the mean girl. Hit me back, girl. Love y'all. And in my deepest pain, boys. Peace.
