Literally broke into tears when Mama Nilda spoke about her experience with Adrienne and how she had a revelation about Adrienne in a bed and not moving and god spoke to her, this episode makes me think about my daughters and how hard I am on them sometimes. Thank you for sharing this with us Claudette❤️❤️❤️
♥️🙏🏼♥️ thank you for sharing
@@claudeandco. ❤️❤️❤️
Awwwww thank you for this my daughter Jewelz is going through the same thing she’s in 2nd grade. All her teacher do is say she talks a lot and my daughter just don’t understand why she always mad at her.. Thank Mama Nilda
That part touched me too because I was also that talkative child in class 🙏🏿
God is good , i know in America they quickly put active children on medication, that not moving dream, God shows they will advised to put on medication or dim the light of this child and is the worst thing
Nilda is an example of what happens when you dedicate your life and your children to Christ. Praise God for this families testimonie
“Do not break the spirit of that child.” I love that… I was an “Adrienne” and “Beau” growing up and my mom often said the same … something like there was a fine line to nurturing the will power I had versus correcting me and she didn’t want to ever break my will… I’m an attorney now… loud, proud and opinionated lol ❤️
I LOVE THIS!!! Thank you so much for sharing! ♥️
What beautiful thing she said about not breaking the child spirit. 👏 I'm the opposite really calm, reserve, don't express my feelings easily and my parents always reproached it that I dont speak much even though they taught me to be disciplined, discrete and to always listen so now I hate myself to be that way and I admire and love Adrienne and Beau personality !
I was a mix between Claude and Adrienne growing up.
@@aissam.2420 there’s beauty and strength in observing/taking it all in before quietly/subtly speaking. That’s a gift too … ❤️❤️❤️
@@arielelisa9012 Very sweet of you, thank you for theses words 🥰🥰
I love this channel ! Such a breath of fresh air ❤️ I hope to have a family as close as yours one day. God bless you
So sweet! Thank you so much for watching!
Same! 🥰
Mamma Nilda needs her own channel. Her advice is always so good. My heart is warm
Mother Nilda is always so chic, love her style, it's classy yet comfy!
Right?!!! 😁☺️♥️🥰 thank youuuu
Yes, I LOVE her mom's style.She stylin!❤
Growing up my Nana would say "This life is ours. Just because we are poor doesn't mean that you have to grow up and be poor." She always encouraged me to branch out and do things. Somehow, we were able to go on vacation every year too. My mom and Nana would save up so we could get in the car and drive to FL, or Canada from NJ. To this day my brothers and sisters will talk about how we didn't know we were poor. We had a great childhood. I can totally relate to Claude and Adrienne's childhood memories.
Soooo beautiful!!! You were blessed to have a Nana and mom like that. ♥️🥲 thank you for sharing!
Jett’s spirit is so pure… I can’t explain it. She’s quiet but quite powerful.
Nilda's story is so raw and real. While I love and respect teachers, sometimes their criticism can really break a child and create a negative environment in the classroom. I felt like my interactions with teachers in my school was the start of my own self doubt (and I still carry/struggle with that as an adult). Kiddos to Nilda for supporting and sticking up for her child (I know that must have been hard). Kiddos to the entire family for letting the girls grow into their authentic selves. As a village you guys are doing a great job!
Not everyone can do this, but for those who can, I think it’s imperative that parents advocate for their children’s education. This includes talking to teachers, making sure they’re supporting your children and, if need be, removing your child from a toxic teacher’s classroom. It’s on us as guardians of the next generation to ensure they’re provided for and encouraged and supported to be the people they’re meant to be. As someone who prefers a docile child, I know it would be wrong to break a child’s spirit. God give me strength to be patient if I should end up with a very spirited and unruly child
♥️♥️♥️ thank you so much for sharing this!
Claudette looks exactly like her mom when she was younger. I love the unity in this family its really beautiful
☺️♥️ thank you!
The conversation with your mom is heart warming - she has such great wisdom. Truly a blessed family 💕
Thank you DeJanee! ♥️☺️
Something about a family’s love that makes my heart so full I cry😭♥️♥️
🥲♥️🙋🏻♀️
Same 😭😭 this is literal therapy...feeling their love and connection through even a computer screen is healing
Mama Nilda is mom goals! 🥰
She exudes the best energies. ❤️
I'm obsessed with Nilda. She just seems like the dopest human. The thing she said about how she was so excited to have Claude. I feel that way about the little one my husband and I are trying for. Just obsessed.
We need more of Gerd's Trini Accent! Love from Trinidad and Tobago❤️
Next episode!! Share with all the trini friends and fam
@@gerdalexander897 Can't wait!
🇹🇹 Trinibago to de bone! 🇹🇹
It’s so cute that you still call your mom “mommy” 🥺 I would love for my daughter to call me mommy no matter how old she is 🥰🤍💗
It’s almost as if it’s a bond that’s on another level. ✨ love it!
♥️♥️♥️ ☺️🙏🏼
I call my parents “mommy” and “daddy” and I’m 18! I’m a child at heart haha :)
Beau LOOKS like Claude’s twin but definitely u see how she’s just like Adrienne 🥺🥰😂
Love this family ❤️❤️ shout out to Gerd with dat bake an saltfish 👏🏾👏🏾💯🇹🇹
Your mom’s vision of Adrienne made me really emotional. My niece is currently dealing with getting bullied at school because she loves art. I always shower her with love & celebrate her unique talents💜
"you don't want to break that spirit" literally has me on the verge of tears as a woman in her late 20s. I was the spirited, electric, chatterbox, got all the questions child + my parents couldn't appreciate that. I often wonder who/how I would be if my innate way of being was nurtured. now I'm trying to honor that little girl + bring her to the forefront in many ways + let her know that it's okay to be her 🧡🙏🏽.
I literally cried watching this whole video lol it’s so special when you have those moments with your family that you can cherish forever! OMG and the part when Ms Nilda spoke on how the teachers were trying to categorize Adrienne I can relate 100% 😭
♥️🙏🏼 thank you so much!
The home footage is so precious 😩🥺❤️ Documenting memories is so important.
Thank you ♥️♥️… I agree 📹🎞 ☺️♥️🙏🏼
Baby Claude telling Papi Lindo “I’m right here” is such a mood. We see a little Beau in there with that sassiness🥰
🤣🤣🤣 ♥️♥️♥️ 💯
Listening to mama Nilda speak about how discouraged she felt about that teacher focusing on the negative about her child is so relatable. Good for her for standing up for her baby and demanding some positivity. Reminds me of my relationship with my son.
Don't know how I ran into your channel but glad I did. Bronx girl here, and i homeschooled my kiddos as well!
We are glad to have you. Please share w anyone you think might like it ❤️
Mami Nilda is a gem on earth. So much beauty, humility and wisdom. Thanks to you and Adrienne for sharing your mom with us! Love you guys! ❤️ (I feel like I say this in every comment lol but I really do just love watching y’all so much)
Quanisha… I will never get tired of hearing that! Lol
I do not take it for granted…. I feel so blessed to know that this is resonating with you. 🙏🏼♥️🙏🏼
I love your channel Claude. I would love to watch videos on the following topics: The break you and your husband had, on the relationship you have with your two dads/ and with Adrienne, tips on marriage or life in general. Do you want more children / whats like to have a Family (I have no kids yet)...thank you
These videos are so beautiful. I love “what if I farted right now” 😂 Feels like hanging out with family for real. Keep up the good work and may it be blessed.
🤣🤣🤣 😬 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you ♥️♥️♥️
When Gerd busted out that accent and started listing off the foods it just brought me back to my childhood! 🤣😂
Ha! ♥️♥️♥️ well get ready for this Wednesday… cause we are talking about his childhood ☺️!!!
Thank you Claude, Nilda and Adrienne for sharing those beautiful stories. It for sure makes me want to do the same with my sister and mother. Also like Gerd I am Trini and just hearing him say fry bake with salt fish takes me back to being a kid... I absolutely love this channel!
♥️🙏🏼 thank you!
🇹🇹 ♥️☺️
I'm from the Nature Island and we do bakes and codfish as well. It's the same saltfish we call codfish and sometimes if we run out of codfish we use smoked herring.
Seeing you and A’ younger self is literally Jet and Beau . That’s so amazing to see wow
💯😆♥️ I can’t agree more! ☺️♥️
I clicked so fast ❤️ Thank you Claude and Mama Nilda for sharing those stories!
Hope you enjoyed it!
I love the way you look at your mom when she is talking❤️
Love her ☺️♥️🙏🏼
I love this story from Mom Nilda. That is one great woman of faith right there!
♥️🙏🏼 she sure is ☺️
Thank you!
This channel already fills my soul to the brim… and we’re only 7 episodes in ✨
Omgoodness thank you so much ☺️🙏🏼♥️
Yes same for me ! 🥰👍
The music that plays for the intro and outro makes me tear up every time. Such a heartwarming sound. Thank you for sharing your story ❤️
♥️♥️♥️ Same lol … it’s an amazing artist that made it for us. Isaia Huron. Check out his music. Beautiful music!
Thank you for sharing 🙏🏼♥️
When Adrienne said...listening to the hosanna integrity tapes! That was so my childhood too :)
I’m latina too (born and raised in DC!). Me and my family also used to go to VA beach and stay at a motel where the pool was in the parking lot 🤣😄 some of my best childhood memories though!!! Loveeeed this video, everything about it. Thank you for sharing! Besitos 😘😘
Your childhood reminds me so much of what my grandparents helped to give me and my siblings. Didn't matter if we went to the Bronx zoo on a Wednesday bc it was free, or going to the park to jump around in the sprinklers; we had a blast! We're always reminiscing about them and the good times we had bc even though we didn't have all the money in the world, we managed to have each other and the best memories coming from it all. I smiled the entire time listening to you guys exchange stories. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for sharing this! What beautiful memories! ♥️✨
It’s always the pictures and videos at the end for me!! Normally I click off once someone says by but you can’t miss out on these gems. The inside inside scoop.
I see jet looks like her mother and beau is Ade. Just amazing
I cried watching you guys in the pool of flagship. I am hispanic and a New Yorker. I can say we had a similar upbringing, so seeing your family took me back to my childhood. You are so right in thanking your parents for the blessings, that as adults we realize weren't upscale, but damn did they try! And love is all that matters ♥️
Thank you for sharing about not breaking our childrens spirit I have a Wild Child and sometimes it gives me alot of anxiety but your right!! I dont want to break that spirit
🙏🏼♥️🙏🏼…
Spirited children become adults who change the world as long as we can hang on for the ride and resist the temptation to “tame” the spirit out of them.
My sister and I are one year apart and we are so incredibly close. We has been best friends since childhood (soulmates). We too didn’t grow up with much but our parents made sure we had the world. When you guys were talking about those vacations it made me tear up. Those memories meant the world to me. My little girl is growing up with so much more than what I had growing up and I pray that when she thinks back on her childhood one day that she smiles the way I do. Blessings and love to your beautiful family!
For many of us CZcams has replaced our tv series. Thanks for the consistency 👏🏾👏🏾
I teared up a little when Mama Nilda spoke about Adrienne in school and making the best of you guys childhood within her means. I feel the same exact way, after my mom passed I was shredding checkbooks, miscellaneous documents and bills from the 90s and she budgeted everything even made little notes comparing the options for job/union insurance to get the very best coverage for all of us. My childhood was magical to me and my sister was like we didn't do this or that or it happened like xyz because she's 18 months older. I may forget all the ins and out of our lives then but I'll never forget how much love and attention my family, church and mom poured into me. I am a better person for their effort.
They are what I strive to be like as a mother. This family is so beautiful inside & out 🤍
Thank you sooo much ♥️♥️♥️
I cried, enjoying your mom’s testimony about what God reveled to her, 😭💕🙏🏽🙌🏽 beautiful! Her tears got to me.
Omg I love these videos😭😭. We also grew up going to Virginia Beach on a dime and stayed at the Motor Inn, but to us it felt like luxury. Some of the best memories I have. Thank you for sharing this.
It doesnt take money to make memories!!! Wow seriously you guys are ministering to me. Ive lost alot since covid and I have been feeling like a horrible mom but this video has spoken to me and I'm so grateful..
To see you & Ade as kids & how much your girls are the splitting image of you both is insane!! Literally jet is you & beau is Ade. This was such a beautiful conversation, love mama nilda so much!!! She’s so wise!
This was a great video!!!
Would love to see a part two about preteen and teen years and how your relationship evolved with your mom.
YES!! Good idea
Nice idea 💡 👌
I was electric growing up and my parents constantly broke me down to fit my culture .. my both kids are very spirited not one of my kids are mellow and it’s not easy but hearing your mom gave me so much hope ! I will not break their spirit and I am homeschooling them so I’m trying to nurture them 🥰
Wow… ♥️ yea definitely not easy. But so worth it… there is a quote that says something like…Spirited children become adults who change the world as long as we can hang on for the ride and resist the temptation to “tame” the spirit out of them.
♥️♥️♥️
I enjoyed this video so much! I had a similar childhood growing up Pentecostal, and I could relate to so many things you were reminiscing about. I love your mom so much. She is so wise and has such strong character and a beautiful personality!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love how Mom raised her two kids because even now they love the simple things and it just shows that money isn't everything even if you don't make much.. just make memories. I would love to hear some childhood stories with dad or with your husband and his side of the family.
As a Virginia Beach native, I smiled from ear to ear hearing about your trips down here 🤗…this was such a beautiful video. Also, I know Gerd is the “co” and y’all have joked about that 😊 but maybe in the future we can hear about his culture and possibly have someone from his family share a meal or recipe with us. Love to all! ❤️ also, mama Nilda’s story about Adrienne as a child blessed and encouraged me to love my busy boy, my tremendous blessing just the way he is 💙😊
I don't know how yall are doing it but every single one of these episodes ends with me shedding tears of joy lol. Every. Single. One.
I love the transparency and the way you all share so candidly about your childhood memories. Your family shares the hardships along with the triumphs. I love that.
🎯
Thank you for sharing your childhood stories/photos/videos & beautiful family with us ❤️ I completely agree that “poor” can also be a state of mind. We grew up as “poor” African immigrants in The Bronx, in the 90s, but my life was so “RICH” in countless ways. So much respect & love to Mama Nilda for her intentionality as she raised her daughters. Con amor y besos ❤️😘
Such a beautiful episode. 💕
Thank you so much!
Beau looks so much like Adrienne and also like Gerd at the same time when you see the childhood pictures. It is so cute
I love the stories and how close you all are. Beautiful family!
OMG. I love this family even more than before. Didn’t think that was possible. Lol such a beautiful storytime. I’m always sad when it ends!
Ha! Thank you so much ♥️🙏🏼♥️
I can't say it enough 💝 Yall are an amazing family 👑
Thank you Brandy 🙏🏼♥️
You're welcome honey 🤗💝
Ugh mami made me cry with her story on the revelation! Ugh my 4 year old son is sooo talkative and hyper. I struggle with trying to contain him. I needed this ❤️❤️❤️
I love watching your family, every time I watch I find myself daydreaming on how I wish I had such a bond like you do with your family. Unfortunately as an only girl with 4 brothers I did not have that girl bond. Now I am blessed with 2 beautiful daughters and I cry just being so thankful of the bond we have. Even though we bump heads sometimes but I would not change a thing, the bump is usually me because I do not know how to act like a girl lol. You are all awesome, Adrienne reminds me of my middle child lol.
Aww thank you for sharing this ♥️♥️♥️ many blessings to you and your family🙏🏼✨
And thanks again for tuning in 🥰
