A mother admits to favoring her older daughter Aniah over younger daughter Aaliyah, saying she "X's out" the younger one. Karamo points out how that language sounds and asks her to imagine how Aaliyah feels being excluded, pushing her to recognize the damage her words cause.
She wants to just do what Aaliyah wants to do.
Yeah.
So I kind of, I do kind of exit her out and, okay, Aniah, we're gonna do this, we gotta get this done, we gotta get that done, we gotta get this. Aaliyah, she's just gonna procrastinate and drag it along and make the job harder than what it actually is. So I kind of X her out and put my focus on Aniah. Like, I know Aniah's gonna help me. I know she's gonna get the job done. I know she's gonna, we're gonna come together as a team.
I want you to listen to the language you're using. I want you to listen to the language you're using.
Okay.
And I know you're exhausted, and I know you're overwhelmed, just like many mothers are around this world, but you're saying things like, I'm going to X her out.
Not X her out completely. No.
Again, that's why I purpose it first to let you know. But when she don't want to get. But the language. But the language, she's still a kid. So even if you X somebody out for the time being, Imagine when you were 17 and somebody judged your choice and X'd you out for the time being. What did you feel?
