Muggle up and hold on tight. We got it for
you here. It is Strawberry Letter.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Thank you for you. Subject the child won't understand this.
Dear Stephen Shirley, I am a thirty four year old
single mother. I have had the same best friend for
twenty years and she is my daughter's godmother. My daughter's
father died when she was two years old, and my
best friend said she would always be there for my child. Well,
(00:45):
she has not kept her promise. My daughter is seven
years old now and she has a spicy personality and
behavioral problems. She acts out when she's upset, and she
has a problem with being disrespectful to adult. I have
tried everything to discipline her, but nothing has worked. This
(01:05):
past Saturday, her godmother took her to a birthday party
for me so I could rest and nurse a cold
within thirty minutes of leaving, my child walked back in
yelled at the top of her lungs at her godmother.
The godmother said that as soon as she got to
the party, this child of mine insulted the birthday girl
and told her that her hair was a mess, her
(01:28):
party decorations were terrible, and her house was stinky. My
best friend said she was so embarrassed she drugged my
daughter out of the party, kicking and screaming. I know
my friend was very upset, but I thought as an adult,
she should have handled it. A few hours later, I
called my best friend to see if she cooled off.
(01:48):
She said she wasn't mad, but she is done with
my daughter for good. She denounced her title as the
godmother of my child. I didn't even know you could
do that. She doesn't want my child to fear with
our friendship. I'm like, what, who does that? I tried
reasoning with her, but she kept saying that she's not
changing her mind. It's going to devastate my child because
(02:10):
she loves her godmother. So how will I tell my
child that her godmother quit her I'm so upset? Well,
I mean, really, can you blame her? Though? I mean,
no one likes a bad but child, just no one
likes bad they they's type kids. No one likes them
but their parents. Sorry, and you're her mom, so you know.
(02:30):
I mean, truth be told, her godmother might come back
if little god daughter, you know, is better behaved. But
I just got to ask, where is she getting this attitude?
I mean, at seven years old, what kind of little
friends does she have? She's disrespectful as she showed at
(02:51):
the party. She's unruly, she's way too grown. She's just
a bad little kid. I mean, what is wrong are
you doing your part as mom? You as her mother? Okay,
as her mother, I think you got to know that
this is more than what you call a spicy personality.
(03:14):
I think you're overlooking this whole thing because she's your daughter.
I think you just can't wait for the godmother to
godmother to come over and discipline your child. The stuff
that your godmother does every once in a while, every
now and then, that's not going to stick. That's not
going to stay with your child. It really isn't, you know.
And she could very well be through with your daughter
(03:35):
because your daughter did act up. The question is why
is she doing all this? And if it's going to
devastate your child so much because she loves her godmother,
maybe you know that would reel your daughter in and
make her behave better. But I think the best thing
to do is to get your daughter into some kind
of therapy right away. I know people will disagree with me.
(03:56):
Some are just going to say you should whoop her
a little behind. I know people are gonna say that,
but I mean, she's only seven. She's only seven.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
You ain't get your.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
He needs it, that fool. But anyway, that's what I
think about this, because you know she suffered major laws.
I mean, even though she was only two years old.
You're a single mom. There is no man in the home.
She could just be acting out. So get her into
some therapy. Okay, Steve plause please?
Speaker 2 (04:29):

uh fairby.

you know, you know, when you somebody god mother, god father,
that's just a title. You ain't really supposed to do nothing,

Now keep in mind who took her, now her godmother
to throw away title. Now, this ain't thing the mama
took of her grandmother. Her godmother took her this party
for me so I could rest and nurse a cold.
Thirty minutes after leaving, my child walked back in the house, yelling.

and her house was stinking. We got to get this
half here, see, the godmother say, I got to get
this little ignorant helper out this woman house. Oh she

little girl she was concerned about. It was the little
(11:10):
girl who mama threw the party that didn't invited joke
daughter over to the house, that ain't bought a gift.
You know why, because she funky and she got a
bad attitude. So she just over there assulting some people's house.
So your best friend saying she was so embarrassed, she
drug her daughter out the party, kicking and screaming like
(11:31):
she was supposed to be. Cause you know why, she
the godmother. She ain't got to invest no more of
her day in this little help your little girl crazy.
I know my friend was very upset. But I thought
as an adult, she could have handled it better. Oh
you're talking about handled it better to the little girl.
That's disrespectful to adults, right You thought she could have
(11:54):
handled it better.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
I agree with you right there. I think she could
have handled it better too.

have missed her hair. Now you're both standing here with
your hair all over your head. How you like that?
And then I have said somebody addressed. I had to
threw punch on her dress. Now everybody outfit messed up

going to the party and don't get no cake, So
we're not leaving this party right here. I'm I like
going to kids party because kid party her good hate
because some of it they had a little crazy writing
on her, but it be red velvet on the inside.
So I don't know why you think we gonna leave
this party about this cake. I'd have beat your daughter
(12:44):
and bought her back. But see, you know, watch she
don't beat your daughter because she just a god mother.
Now she with the grandmother. She brought your little baby
back home with a couple of wounds on that. But no,

nothing has worked.
Speaker 2 (09:10):

did everything. If you did everything, you wouldn't be writing
this letter.

Have fuck out a whole year for you to change
your man. I've tried everything, but nothing has worked. You
ain't tried everything. But let's move on. This past Saturday,
her godmother took her to a birthday party for me.
(10:06):
Now keep in mind who took her, now her godmother
to throw away title. Now, this ain't thing the mama
took of her grandmother. Her godmother took her this party
for me so I could rest and nurse a cold.
Thirty minutes after leaving, my child walked back in the house, yelling.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
At the top of her lungs at her god mother, you.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Don't bring me back to this party. I just went
to the party. How you gonna bring me back home.
You don't bring me back. Hold I bought you back
on because you can't drive you back in this house because.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
You don't know how to act. The godmother said.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
As soon as she got to the party, this child
of mine insult to the birthday girl, told her that
her hand was a mess, her party decoration was terrible,
and her house was stinking. We got to get this
half here, see, the godmother say, I got to get
this little ignorant helper out this woman house. Oh she
hid this and kill everybody in him. If wasn't a
little girl she was concerned about. It was the little
(11:10):
girl who mama threw the party that didn't invited joke
daughter over to the house, that ain't bought a gift.
You know why, because she funky and she got a
bad attitude. So she just over there assulting some people's house.
So your best friend saying she was so embarrassed, she
drug her daughter out the party, kicking and screaming like
(11:31):
she was supposed to be. Cause you know why, she
the godmother. She ain't got to invest no more of
her day in this little help your little girl crazy.
I know my friend was very upset. But I thought
as an adult, she could have handled it better. Oh
you're talking about handled it better to the little girl.
That's disrespectful to adults, right You thought she could have
(11:54):
handled it better.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
I agree with you right there. I think she could
have handled it better too.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
Think that I would have dead as soon as she
said something about the little girls messed up here, I'd
have missed her hair. Now you're both standing here with
your hair all over your head. How you like that?
And then I have said somebody addressed. I had to
threw punch on her dress. Now everybody outfit messed up
and out of stuffed to one of them balloons in
her little ragged ass mouth because she keeps running it.
Speaker 2 (12:22):

Speaker 3 (12:23):
Oh, we just stayed at the party because I'm not
going to the party and don't get no cake, So
we're not leaving this party right here. I'm I like
going to kids party because kid party her good hate
because some of it they had a little crazy writing
on her, but it be red velvet on the inside.
So I don't know why you think we gonna leave
this party about this cake. I'd have beat your daughter
(12:44):
and bought her back. But see, you know, watch she
don't beat your daughter because she just a god mother.
Now she with the grandmother. She brought your little baby
back home with a couple of wounds on that. But no,
she bought this little crazy helpa back. A few hours later,
I call my best friend to see if she cool off.
She says she wasn't mad, but she's done with my
daughter for good.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
I'm too. I don't won't be to god mother anyway.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
I ain't never gonna be godmother no way. But you
said you beat that for light. As far as I go,
