    You cannot tell no one about kids if you don’t have kids.

    Not true. I am the oldest of 6 kids, was a birthing coach for my mom as well as friends. I also was raised in a single parent household. My siblings were many yrs younger than me so if them kids were not with our mom they were with me. I helped raise them, loved them like my own. The youngest used to go to school with me (senior yr of highschool) to be in the daycare so our mom could work. Small town rumor was he was actually mine but he was not. Also worked in my church nursery from 13 yrs old to 21. So when I got married at 22 and miscarried my babies I was already very experienced, well seasoned with babies. Just could not have my own. I know kids .What it takes to not only birth them but love and care for them. I give great parental advice cuz I do it out of LOVE and when I say something I know what I’m talking about. I’ve potty trained, I’ve handled sick and feverish kids, I’ve taken care of newborns while their mothers had to go back to the hospital for complications , even taken care of 3 children all under 5 after surgeries. I have been that village for some. Don’t discredit everyone.

    I don’t agree with that. I’m a mom but I definitely welcome advice from non parents because sometimes they actually do know what they’re talking about. It’s just like hiring a baby sitter… some don’t have children but can handle kids wayy better than the actual parents. And Tamara, if you post anything on social media, you have to be open to bothcompliments and criticism otherwise don’t post anything at all.

  • Candle Wood

    Preach it Tamar….if you have no kids you have no experience you have no voice..sorry….its just the way it is….I can’t tell someone how amazing it is to sky dive if I have never done it before…..only with experience comes advice. OMG ARIAH IS SO PRECIOUS 🙂

  • Jachai Cahoe

    She is sooooooooi cute

  • Samantha Breinburg

    Ariah is so adorable!

  • BLANSTAR21

    I personally believe you dont have to be a parent to give advice.

  • yume816

    But there has to be a line where you cannot become too defensive to critique because in the end the child has potential to grow and have momentum good or bad societal effects, in other words don’t be too narrow minded in your parenting skill, learn from the best and take what works, parenting is really important than we think

  • Sarah Eells

    I think it depends on what the advice is. There are valid exceptions like "aye maybe you shouldn’t leave your kid in a car when you go into the store" and " hey maybe roller skates aren’t appropriate to wear in this store full expensive of glass objects."

  • Mia Michele

    Honestly it depends if your cussing( like rated r language) at your young kids heck ya imma say something.

  • jetnight 88

    But kids act badly so non parents should check them

  • Dominique Wallace

    I’m glad Tamar isn’t on the show anymore tbh I don’t like how she answers things and the way she talks u can barely understand or hear what’s she’s saying so it’s better without her

  • linda M.

    its like get yourself your own kids or adopt like dont try to give advice no one ask you period 😂

  • Nicholas Bennett

    Tamar doesn’t fit well

  • Jaelyn Goldston

    is it me or does Jeanie look like Mirage from The Incredibles ??

  • Kevin Jackson

    Yeah I learned my lesson the hard way on this one never say anything no matter how right you may think it is. It doesn’t help and in some cases makes the situation worse. If you believe its important get a person they respect to tell them. Someone with kids.

  • Good Golly Miss Dolly

    I feel like they’re more talking about the judgemental "advice" that’s purely criticism and that’s what annoys them.

  • Kat A.

    Don’t want to hear my advice? Don’t complain to me. It’s THAT simple. If you complain to me about your kids, my assumption is that you’re looking for a solution. So I offer one. It’s on you if you want to take it or not. But don’t get mad at me for doing the logical thing.

  • michelle thomas

    No kids no opinion

  • tennis freak

    am I the only one that likes advice from literally everyone

  • Kimberly Gray

    Yes mother be thinking it there head.you can’t tell me nothing you have no kids
    We just don’t want to hurt no one feelings and sometimes we will depend on who it is.

  • Mary Vicari

    Quote it girl

  • La Original

    There are a lot of ppl WITH kids….who don’t know wtf their doing. Having a baby doesn’t make you a parent. Majority of black women are horrible mothers.

  • Katie Maggioli

    Ariah is so cute they need to bring her back

  • Yess Sandoval

    Tamar always got something up her butt. Glad she gone

  • Caleb Grill

    I have lots of younger first and third cousins I have loomed after my cousins quite a lot and I think that would qualify me to give baby advice.

  • Nikki

    I don’t like giving parenting advice…but I basically helped raised my niece and nephew….and sometimes I can give advice on how I’ve handle things…not what I feel is best, but what has worked for me when I am around kids in my life. I don’t give life long advice but I give advice like…Ways to get them to sleep when they are newborns…or how to make certain foods so they eat it. I don’t give advice like "don’t do this don’t do that why did you do that" ….. I don’t give advice unless I am asked.

  • LoveofVelvet

    God who is that godawfull, screeching, tongue smacking, ratchet thing to the left???!!!
    She’s sooooo ghetto what the F is she doing on the show???!!!! I can’t STAND people with no class and ratchet!!!! 🤨🤨🤨😤😤😤😠😠😠

  • Chauncey Bowers

    OMG i couldn’t pay attention i was just looking at Ariah

  • Some OneTN

    To much CUTENESS!!!

  • google e

    What it someone who works with children and babysits kids, then can you give a mother advice?

  • Christina Dowd

    She has to be one of the most beautiful babies created. Breathtaking!

  • Ari Rojo

    I TAKE ADVICE FROM WHO CARES FOR ME AND IF THEY GIVE IT IN A GOOD CARING WAY….. CAUSE IF THEY ARE BEIGN RUDE OR I KNOW THAT THEY ARE TALKING BEHIND MY BACK … THEN NO ILL WONT STAT QUIET

  • No Name

    Generalizing people who don’t have kids to not knowing about childcare is not a good argument. Some women have cared for kids their whole lives with siblings, friend’s kids, family members, and neighbors. My sister has always been the lighting rod to so many moms to take care of their kids. Being the youngest I have watched her and she has a magical presence with kids. I hope one-day she can teach me how to be an awesome mom.

  • Jenna Kaufman

    That video of Ariah dancing was so cute

  • Michelle N

    Just keep your gross kid away from me. Always sick and sticky 😝.

  • its.me

    Supernanny doesn’t have children. She knows exactly what she’s doing

  • LoveMe,com

    I think Adrienne is right to ask for advice on how to discipline your child. Parenting is not easy you need someone who can guide you especially when you are a first time mother.

  • Catie Quimby

    Don’t or can’t have children doesn’t mean I don’t have experience or knowledge on children raising. I don’t give advice, I give suggestions. I have almost 20 years of childcare experience. In this situation, the source is secondary. If it’s good information, it’s good information.

  • Kels K

    Tamar is so damn annoying

  • Teri GlumLifeGuru

    So they are saying that they don’t want advice from people without kids then in the same breath they tell Loni that she gives the best advice and she isn’t a mom….. so which is it?

  • Kater Potater

    Does anyone actually like spending time with Tamar? I wouldn’t. She’s nothing but negative vibes and straight up unsolicited attitude.

  • Michelle charles

    Being a parent don’t mean you know everyone else’s child only your own. The idea that once you become a parent you become an expert and only they can speak about parenting things no you are only an expert on your child not every child. Parents share things in common but your child made you a parent so only your child you can speak on not everyone kids. So your in the same not as a non parent you shouldn’t give advice or say anything because you are only a parent to your child and no one else’s. I find the attitude on this video very prideful proud and haughty. The fact you don’t think anyone can say anything tells it all as if parents listen to other parents. We can say what we want they don’t have to listen with that kinda mindset the earth should be silent because we all talk about things we never experience but give good advice in

  • Kimberly Gray

    Jennie you cussed in front of the baby.its not ok.that was real slick.ypu definitely don’t need children.

  • Lynn .D

    Here is some advice from a very experienced mom! Teach them how to behave!!! Especially in public!!! I’m so sick of your Ill behave screaming brats!!! And they are everywhere!!!!!! Remember the world doesn’t revolve around your kid, you and your monsters need to respect everyone else !!!

  • Kate Archuleta

    I wait to be asked before giving advice (I’m a step mom). I limit it to telling them my experiences growing up and nothing else

  • Purple Dawn

    Just because someone is not a parent, it doesn’t mean that they can’t give good advice. I have been working with kids for 10 years and I also have a degree in this but I don’t have kids. I get so tired of hearing "you’re not a parent, you know nothing". Like seriously? If anything, I can look at a situation neutrally and think about the long term concequences of doing this and that when it comes to diciplining a child. Some parents (often the ones who don’t want advice) get blinded by their kids. They want to to what’s best for their kids to the point where they can’t see the big picture and therefore let their kids get away with everything. I know it can be difficult for parents do say no to their kids and do what’s right in every single situation, but that is exactly why you should welcome advice from others, even people who aren’t parents.

  • Alyssa Brown
