When Do Kids Holla At Each Other?

Black Love Podcast Network
About this episode

These KIDS are crushing!! We were not ready! Nothing is sacred and they are starting YOUNG. One of Codie's twins has already developed a crush. Felicia's daughter Peace has willed her crush into the universe. Ashley's daughter went and kissed someone and Melanie's son is ready to take someone out on a date (he's 6). Of course it's all innocent because they're children, but now the Mamas are thinking about the future and what will it look like when their kids bring home their first serious partner? Do we (as parents) have certain expectations of our children? Let's talk about it!

Mamas! Aunties! Village! What should we be on the look out for with these kids? ? Let us know over at   @themamasdenpodcast or send us an email at podcasts@blacklove.com
