    What’s Jenni Rivera’s flex? That her five children are very wise and well spoken. I’m so here for it. Jenni definitely did a good job raising them!!!

    As an autism parent, thank you Mikey for embodying us so well and thank you Jenicka for also representing the love of Tia. But overall it was such a nice conversation and so relatable I would love to have more of these, but overall I love every episode. Unfortunately that this was the last one hope and your episode isn’t too long from now.
    I'll be waiting❤️

    I cannot even express how amazing all 5 kids are. When Mikey teared up talking about Luna, it made me tear up. I have a special needs child and it’s so hard when other kids treat them badly.

    When I was in elementary there was this kid name Robert. He was in the spectrum and he was the sweetest kid. I always made sure to include him and sit with him in lunch. Kids were so mean to him I always defended him. We went on to junior high and our friendship continued. We lost touch is high school. Years later as adults I see him walking and say hi Robert how have you been? The look on his face will stay with me forever. He looked at me like you see me. You know who I am. He went to tell me thank you for always treating him as a simple human 😭. What you say and do matter. Be nice to everyone.

    Damn . So much respect for the whole sibling clan. They never “fake it till you make it “ and that’s why they are so likable. Every single one of them . Breaking generational trauma indeed lol

    Mikey has always been my favorite because of how funny he is but seeing him represent us with autistic kids and the loving way he talks about his babies just made me love him even more. Mikey never change. You are one of a kind. They don't make them like him anymore.

    I grew so much more love for Michael 😭 hold that head up high mannne your character alone brings honor to your mother. All of yall are a flex. This is a true legacy, this is what she fought so hard for. So her children could be better than her, yall are so emotionally intelligent 😭🤧💕

    I have to admit this has to be my second favorite episode of the season I love that you put Mikey on here and him sharing a glimpse of his life with his daughter that is on the spectrum just hits home especially the part where he said he used to cry not knowing if she was going to be able to talk and now he cries because she talks too much 🤣 such a bitter sweet moment because I have a six year old daughter and I’m currently going through that right now!!! I love this keep up the great work I appreciate you and your family so much sending a bunch of love 💗

  • @elizabetmontesirizarry1994

    OMG Mikey nailed my feelings. My daughter used to be on the heavier side when she was little and kids didn't want to play with her because she couldn't run fast during tag. And it would hurt me so bad and I would get so upset 😭

    @Huevoskulitoo_ Před rokem +6

    As an autism mom I understand and agree with mike 100% it’s not about one as a parent to a kid with autism it’s about the kid ! It’s what the kid needs like any other kid! The spectrum is a spectrum for sure but it’s an amazing ride!

      Same, my son has speech delay, he has adhd and dyslexic so like at school he has always felt different so I feel bad cause he doesnt go out and play because no one invites him anywhere so to be honest he’s my best friend and we hang out together all the time.
