This is a moment where y'all gotta slow down. And in those moments where y'all start to find yourself arguing, y'all gotta have some word that y'all use as a moment to say, can we reflect on what was just said? This is how you break cycles. We gonna try that, baby. All right, how about this for now? How about you just say Karamo? I'm good with that. You say Karamo. And all you gotta do is say, hey, remember what happened there? Give me a moment to talk and mom, you get a moment. Okay. And that could just be your moment just to calm down so that you don't get there. All right. And then in that moment when y'all come back together, do what y'all did here and hug. Because at the end of the day, she's still 14 and she still love you. I just saw that smile come over your face. Do you love your mother? Yeah. Tell your mother that you love your mother. I love you.
