It's truly awful but I don't know why she is sharing any of this on social media. Roger sounds like a nice guy, it really sucks that he and Daniel didn't know each other. I may by cynical, but I think Tiffany is using this to drum up sympathy and as a way to deflect from her piss poor decision making. 4 10 Link to comment

Chellichik August 15, 2019 Share August 15, 2019 Yeah - my guess is that people on social media keep asking about Daniel's father so she felt the need to put that information out there. It's really too bad what happened to him. 3 Link to comment
iwasish August 15, 2019 Share August 15, 2019 Great guy.. yeah sure. Bet he never offered a dime to support his child but “asked about him”. She’ll make the same remarks about Ronald when he breaks Daniel’s heart. She comes across as the kind of girl ( I won’t call her a woman because she isn’t one ) who always wants to be forgiving even when she’s had someone wrong her. She thinks it makes her a better person, but it just makes her a fool. 7 Link to comment

Never met the father of Ashley's children, never saw the father of any of Dani's kids, never seen Mays dad.....are people really pushing her more than Ashley, Dani and Nicole? I may just have a very jaded and cynical view of Tiffany because I think she likes avoiding accountability by any and all means necessary. 7 Link to comment

Repeated bad treatment from the same person might... She said he had to be totally in or totally out with regards to Daniel. I take that to mean money wise also. Maybe with his death, Tiffany will at least try to get Social Security benefits for Daniel. Yes being a forgiving person is great. I think you can forgive someone who has treated you badly and yet still break off the relationship. Forgiving someone IMO is something you do for yourself, It doesn’t absolve the other person of accountability for their actions. Daniel’s father walked away from him. “Asking about him”’ IMO is pretty low bar in terms of caring, Tiffany saying he was a kind, caring person* and telling Daniel so, might make Daniel wonder why this kind caring person wants nothing to do with him. It might explain why he is so starved for a father figure that he’s latched onto Ronald so fiercely. *I don’t think Tiffany needs to say negative things about his father to Daniel, but she also shouldn’t put him on a pedestal. Walking away from your child is a punk move. She should tell Daniel that his father was very young, immature and unable to face the responsibility of fatherhood. And it’s his loss that he decided to not be a part of Daniel’s life. 6 Link to comment
Gigglepuff August 16, 2019 Share August 16, 2019 Tiffany's an idiot. I don't know what she expected to find in SA. It's well known that it's very volatile, especially given the economic and educational disparities that still exist, and its horrible past. Does she know anything about its history, I wonder? Both SA and the US are dangerous, and I don't buy her "I don't lock my doors" line at all. SA's crime rate is higher than the US for sure but look, Daniel's father died from gun violence trying to break up a fight! At any rate, she can stay there. She made her bed, now lie in it. Send Daniel back to live with his grandmother and have a childhood that he's used to instead of taking him to live in complex with and electrified fence and a criminal addict for a "father." 14 Link to comment

We were robbed twice in 2 years while we were on vacation. The first time, they pried a door open and just stole some silver. They left the house spotless. You wouldn't have noticed anyone even broke in. The second time, they came through the basement. They left a mess looking for things, stole TVs, stereo, a rabbit coat I had and my dad's car which was in the driveway! It turned out it was the son of the neighbors. He was a drug user and needed the money. You can live in a nice area but one never knows what's going on with the neighbors, or the type of friends someone may have, or the relatives of those friends and on and on it goes. Anyway, Tiffany is an idiot and I too wonder if she knows the history of South Africa, or if she just followed the "hot guy." 8 Link to comment

People don't know their neighbors well, or the neighbors' friends/relatives. There are folks who put out the brand new TV box in the garbage so it stays out overnight or for X days and someone passing by or checking out the trash that folks leave out note who just got a new TV or Xbox or speaker system, etc. Parcel porch pirates, kids being used to break in to basement windows to let thieves in, kids going by on their bikes and checking out what people have in their garage. So easy. Marry the guy if you want, Tiffany, but it probably will not end up well unless both parties put in a lot of hard work. She should have waited 6 months or a year until Ronald could show some signs of real recovery and work on his addictions. Moving half way around the world for some hot, exotic guy who has a lot of issues to work out really wasn't a good plan. 8 Link to comment

CrazyInAlabama August 20, 2019 Share August 20, 2019 (edited) I could watch the apartment hunting scene with the realtors in SA endlessly. The one with the pink hair is even funnier than the dark haired one, and they're both telling the truth. The scene with Ronald and Tiffany discussing having to fund the electric fence for the complex is ridiculous. Their only expense would be the security system for their own apartment. When they were talking security system prices, they were super high, so maybe it included private security people who respond? And the part where Ronald says that the apartment is in a high-crime area, and I had to think any place Ronald will move into turns into a high crime area with his record.

CrazyInAlabama August 27, 2019 Share August 27, 2019 (edited) I have now figured out which side of the family Tiffany got her stupidity from. Her mother is more worried about SA medical care, than the fact that her unemployed daughter (and not going to be employed for a long time either), and her criminal husband are having a baby. Unless the show is renting them a place, they won't be moving out from mommy Ronald any time soon. I guess Tiffany's mother never actually looked at the medical care in SA? The first successful heart transplant was by Dr. Christiaan Barnard. Tiffany's mother acts like Tiffany will have the baby in the middle of the public square or something. I bet that fool Tiffany thinks the U.S. government will let the criminal in the country, but my hope is they won't. Drug related offenses are a big disqualifier for a U.S. visa of any type, from what the attorney said on the show. . Edited August 27, 2019 by CrazyInAlabama 10 Link to comment

South African private medical care is amazing. It's one of those countries people go to for IVF or plastic surgery on vacation and then tack on a safari while they recover. I think it is also cheaper than US health care even if you aren't insured. So. Tiffany would probably be fine having a baby there. 1 Link to comment
