    Tasha needs to go to the leasing office and report that Eric has moved to new people into the apartment with them. Depending on the lease, it might limit occupancy to the two names in the lease and limit the lengths that “ guests” can stay. Or since four of them are living there daddy should be paying for 2/3 the rent and Tasha 1 share. That the way JJ figures when rent is split, a “couple” is considered 2. Technically Aless should also be on his tab so maybe 3 share vs 1. 

    Excellent point.  It seems like Eric, with fiancee and child in tow, should be the one making plans to move.  That apartment is much more "proper" for a 19 year old than for the three of them.  Eric's looking at houses, after all!

    I made Aliya jr pay 'rent' when he was an adult living with me. It was never half and never market rate (you can canonize me later). The point was to help build character and for him to learn that nothing is free. I never depended on him to fund our lifestyle.

    On the other hand, I get the distinct feeling that Eric needs every penny that Tasha brings in. 

    Nothing wrong with that at all.  I plan to do the same thing once my son is older and has a full-time job (he's only 2 now)!  As you said, it builds character and makes the point that he is an adult and needs to contribute.  But Eric takes this line of thinking to a whole new level!

    I HATE these people! I’m not sure i can watch and will just read the boards ! I’m disgusted watching these losers 

    You know, I think you're right.  Everyone except Olga is coming across very badly tonight.  I think in the future I might just read the posts to find out what happens.  These people anger me!

    So it was quite normal for Leida and her son to be under her parents roof, but it isn't okay for Tasha to live with her father.  Horrible woman!

    I know!  And Leida is much older than Tasha.  It also sounds like Leida has been leeching off of her parents while Tasha works.

    This angle of Aswelu being so young and immature is bogus.  Just because he comes from a simpler lifestyle and english isn't his first language that they treat him like some kind of imbecile.  For my money Kalani is just as immature if not more so.   Her life is incredibly random and unstructured for someone who has a baby but no job, insurance or future.

    I agree with you.  And if Asuelo is a little immature it is important to remember he is younger than her.  I was a first time mom at 32, and I would have known a lot less in my 20s.

    Once again, Ashley is thin, attractive, and blonde which is more than enough for a lot of men so why can't she date somebody local? She should have known Jay was just good for some vacation dick.

    Maybe she is really annoying?  I think we might have just seen a taste of that.  My cousin is thin, blond, and pretty but goes from boyfriend to boyfriend because she has super high standards of any man she dates and can be obnoxious.  (It sounds mean but it's true)!

    The fact that she doesn’t have custody of any of the 2-3 kids make me raise an eyebrow or two. 

    Some people prefer that others not comment on looks as well so what does that leave us with. 

    It’s all free game to me except for trashing a kid’s appearance. But those are just my personal standards. 

    I agree.  I also find it disturbing that she is not living in the country they are in.  I'd be really curious to know if her situation in Brazil was really that desperate (a la Hazel) or if she just wants to latch on to any guy with money.

    I think if she were a man who wasn’t taking care of their children, people would have something to say.  If you go on a reality show, all your stuff could come out.

    Yes to this.  Not mentioning having kids is a pretty major omission.  I don't see how this wouldn't come out!

  8. I saw the photo of the champagne glass tub in the Poconos, and I had to comment.  My husband and I went to one of these Poconos resorts about 3 years ago.  It was clear that the heyday of these were in the 1970s, but we still loved it.  It was kitschy in a cute way, and I'd like to go back!  As a side note, the heart-shaped hot tub is comfy (but you should wipe it down with bleach first)!

    I go to the gym 3-4x a week and have NEVER heard a woman make noises like that. Occasionally i hear guys do it when they are lifting but it's more like grunting. There was not a single woman in that gym except for Fernanda and she was loving every second. 

    Agreed.  I'm not a gym rat, but I've gone often enough for the past 8 years or so and have never heard anyone make noises like Fernanda.  She clearly just wants attention.  She's 19.  She should not be getting married!

    Happened to me last week. I've only ever lived in major urban centers with diverse populations, but cities are segregated too. I had a meeting with someone at her club (her idea, I wouldn't have picked it because I anticipated the reaction I got). I walked in and whoosh! Heads turned and things got quiet. I looked around and thought "Yep, I'm the only one" (and the ratio of men to women was about 70:30 too, so I had a double whammy as a Black woman). The meeting went fine but it was a relief to leave.

    It would be naive of Jay not to expect some friction, honestly. If he doesn't get any, great! But as a person of color in a majority white country (a country in which racism is baked into the fabric), you really can't expect to never encounter racism, whether it's micro-aggressions or overt. I liked that Ashley said that in this country, interracial relationships aren't always socially acceptable. It doesn't do anyone, least of all Jay, any good to act like race relations in this country are idyllic. I wonder about Leida and her son too, given what just emerged in a viral story about Eric's hometown.

    I am going to need some receipts on Eric being 40, because dude looks at least 55 to me.

    I enjoyed reading this post, and I can imagine how uncomfortable you felt when you walked into the meeting and you were the only black person.  I can't tell you what the people in that meeting were thinking, but I can tell you that as a white person, I sometimes lapse into silence when interacting with people of color because I'm a little afraid.  I am a history teacher, so I know a lot about how racism has manifested in the country.  I want to treat everyone fairly and respectfully, but I'm honestly worried that I will say something that will be construed as racist or or insensitive.  I am very aware of microaggressions, and I don't want to say the "wrong thing," even if I don't mean it in a way that is a racial slight.  For instance, if I'm working with a person of color and I say something like "wow!  That's a great idea," would the person think I am complimenting them only because they are black and I'm impressed that they came up with a good idea?  But in reality, I say that type of thing all the time.   I'm a big fan of verbal praise!  Does this make sense?  I just thought I'd post my thoughts and be completely honest because there seems to be a respectful discussion of racial issues in this forum, and I think honesty is often lacking when we discuss racial issues.

    Absolutely. And I cant ever presume to understand what that is like for you. What I can do is believe you and support you when you say you are experiencing racism. What I will not do is lecture you about how it cant really be racism. 

    I agree with you for the most part, but it can be possible for someone to call something racism even if it is not, no?  Let me give you an example dealing with sexism.  When I was in college, I considered going for a PhD in my subject and becoming a professor.  I went to a professor for advice, and he advised me not to because it was a long and difficult process, that it would be hard for met to get jobs, and I would have to travel often and be away from my family.  I thought this was sexism and he was assuming that as a woman I wanted to have a family and couldn't handle a tough job.  I actually referred to him as "sexist" when talking about the experience, and then I spoke to two other men who had a similar conversation with him, and he told them the same thing, almost word for word.  I was wrong in my assumption.  So *sometimes* feelings aren't enough.  Again, this is NOT to question the reality of sexism or racism, but as a society we are sometimes so primed to look out for these things that it can be mistaken.  Calling someone a racist or sexist is very hurtful in our society today, and I really try to be careful before I apply that label.

    Steven and Olga don't really know each other. They also don't know what they can bring to a relationship or marriage. Steven does not have a meaningful job, Olga doesn't seem to work. He wants to be different, but he keeps brining his triggers. And now the baby is the centre of things and each has to put themselves last. Ouch.

    Yes.  They were cute to watch for the first few episodes, but they really don't have much going for them at all.  They are too young, have no money, and really don't know each other.
