  • Wow, Tawra and Mike 😮 you guys were rude and laughing at someone who was asking for help and a time to vent. You did not sound like you had any compassion here. I was not happy with your tone of voice and your laughing here. Sounded very rude and uncaring. 😢

  • You seemed to be getting slammed for a lack of empathy. I understand your side of things. As I like to say, “it’s okay if you want to have a pity party, just don’t asked me to bake the cake”.

  • Do you all actually ever listen to the point they are trying to make or just jump in to criticize before you’ve even figured out what they are saying?

  • Im so disappointed in your comments towards a lady who needs your help and compassion she follows you to learn, and you are laughing at her pain. Shame on you both

  • I totally agree with the comments about people listing off their illnesses, it’s annoying and unnecessary

  • You two sound like pompous azzes!!!

  • I do have to agree with Mike about her getting all the loans. She didn’t have any hint of those health issues at the time? She obviously did not finish. If you listened til the end of the video, they do encourage.

  • I'm sorry with all the "things" she does she would never qualify for disability. If she hasn't worked 5 years out of the last 10 does not qualify for SSDI. and wouldn't qualify for SSI due to the income from husband. Seems more like she just wants sympathy.

  • I do have to agree with Mike about her getting all the loans. She didn’t have any hint of those health issues at the time? She obviously did not finish.

  • You two don't get it! Minimum wage in NC is $7.25! If your spouse can't work and you have children, you are living in poverty. You laugh? Not watching y'all anymore!

  • I do not think they think she is really suffering all those problems. They are acting like she is a troll.

  • Not well done. Your response to this venting mother was not compassionate or helpful. The laughing was awful and I hurt for her. I hope she does not view this. So disappointed.

  • wow i have watched this show for years and i am really disappointed in your remarks about her situation , are you not here to help ? and not criticize her and her hubby for the way things have gone in her life . Christainity thou shell not judge .

  • I make nearly 3x minimum wage and only have about $2K a month to spend for all a month. After taxes and deductibles. The average rent for the city where I work is $2K a month for an efficiency. No debt, no kids. Fortunately my Mom still lives and I live with her without rent. So I live well, but if I didn't have Mom, I'd being doing 160 hours a month for $160 a month after rent. I eat way more than that a month, not including the dietary needs of a physical job when you're over 50.

  • Tough love is one thing……belittling someone is really not cool.

  • let me play my violin for Christine.blah blah blah..poor poor her.Ive never heard so many problems from one individual in my seventy seven years. I’m a widow living on less than eighteen Ka year getting my own firewood shopping for the best grocery buys and put on a sweater when I’m cold. Get a life!!!

  • Very rude of both of you

  • Ultra Sound where I live O.

  • This was tough to watch.

  • You are both talking down to people in this video. Remember where you came from and what you have been thru.

  • Charlie Munger said: "Never tell anyone about ur problems, 90% of the people really don't care.. The other 10% are glad you have them"

  • he could get on one of the gig apps film it do that for a coulpe hours make a youtube channl shareing i have seem a few youtubers make a good income out of doing that or start pet sitting take the litte kids with him leve the 12 year old at home to help mum my sisters make almost half of there full time jobs just after work

  • Seems harsh but its a truthful message, keep persevering thru your struggles. ❤

  • I have watched a long time but I turned this video off. not taking sides but didnt like the way presented

  • Shame on you

  • Why is she not on disability?

  • You did a great job telling the truth. Sometimes people need tough love. Thanks for being honest.

  • I’m very surprised at your response. Have empathy

  • Don’t think you should say why having kids if could not afford… not our business

  • I usually like your videos but the laughing arrogance of you both was hard to watch.This woman has a lot on her plate and just stating how hard it obviously is.If the young woman is reading this I hope you come through this suffering ❤🇬🇧🇺🇸

  • You are very try unkind in this video. Some people truly are having a hard time now and there’s rally no reason to laugh at them. I don’t think that is what they were asking for 😢

  • I will agree that increasing the family size is not in this family's best interests for a whole host of reasons including the family budget. If this woman is noy physically able to take care of her children without assistance the husband's stay at home job is probably a benefit to the famiky income despite only being $26k. I am guessing that the husband staying at home is because he is also care taking for his wife. Some things require cash like the rent/ mortgage, utilities, etc… Without bartering because bartering is taxable by the IRS as well as many states, it sounds like this family needs toncome up with some put of the box ways to increase thier consumable goods and food life style beyond the $26k.

  • Do you think they would deny her disability because she just went through a pregnancy 1 year ago. Pregnancy is hard for some people. I would question her need for disability based on that.

  • I agree with you guys some people are single and going through hard times and never complain.

  • Tough love is always a hard pill to swallow for people :=/

  • She was in school when she became unable to complete scholl due to medical reasons. These sound like private student loans on top of it.

  • I have watched this twice, trying to understand what is being written and your response. I have sympathy for the young lady who is so ill. She sounded like she was overwhelmed with everything going on. This could have been better handled. Not your best program.

  • I feel like you guys are being mean here.

  • Some Christians you two are. Have you ever heard of empathy? Shame on you

  • I usually agree with you, but I think you’re a little too hard this time. We don’t walk in her shoes. I don’t like kicking people when they’re down.

  • People don't watch this channel to be laughed at. You laughed at her and need education on how blind people live. Wow, all the negative in one video. Christians are supposed to help. Maybe she made bad life decision and maybe not, but that us not the point. She sounds out of hope and venting. Right or wrong, she did not ask to be laughed at. She spoke about your channel, it is her opinion, and you all put your opinions out their as advise and viewers may not agree with you.

  • Although she listed alot of what is going on in her life, there is alot she didn't, so i am not going to comment on why she has 4 kids or hubby is only low income. But, if she really is quite ill, why is her home the Safe Space for friends and relatives? Seriously, her friends and relatives should be there to physically give her a hand occassionally instead of making sourdough and discussing hormonal teens. Nothing wrong with having a coffee and chat, but creating a Safe Space for them, I would put an end to that and continue to concentrate on all the things she is doing right.

  • My daughter just passed 2 months ago from stage 4 colon cancer, fighting for 6 hard yrs. Had been divorced for 10 yrs with 2 preteen boys and no child support and X inlaws trying to take her sons. If she wasn't in the hospital, at the doctors she was in court. She worked on her feet all day as a hair stylist and did this until 5 weeks before she died with swollen feet because her lymphatic system was shutting down among many many other things over those 6 yrs of fighting the cancer that was spreading through out her body. She gave it all she could in hopes of seeing her sons graduate from HS. She was strong, didn't complain and was my hero. I could say so much more, but I will leave it at count your blessings. If you at least try to look at the positives, you feel so much better despite it all.

  • Laughing at and mocking someone who has had many health issues is not ok. I cannot believe Christians have such a lack of care towards others. I am sure Christ our saviour would behave very differently.

  • Any old excuse will do! Whatcha got today… Sick it up buttercup and get it together!!!

  • exactly 💯

  • I'm sorry this poor mother was trying to get some backing and all you could do was laugh out loud at her I'll decide if I will continue to watch you,I'm discussded with you both she was venting and we all need that sometimes

  • Been following yall for a long time but I’m getting tired of the scolding and sassy stuff. Just because y’all “figured it out” a long time ago doesn’t mean that people aren’t REALLY struggling. Please don’t forget to have compassion for people. Not everybody is the same, neither do people handle situations the same. I’m just tired of the tone. Unsubscribing this time.
