“Parenting a teen is hardest when moods clash,” she said as she explained the challenge she faces at home.
In the video, Jeridah spoke to her daughter about what she was wearing.
“That is your whole look for church?” she asked.
She said she liked the boots but did not agree with the outfit.
“Okay, I like the boots, but wearing trousers in a dress is …it doesn’t work for me,” she said.
She suggested another option to her daughter.
“Can’t you wear something like tights or something?” she said.
She explained that she was only giving her view.
“I am just saying, like,” she added as she spoke about the outfit.
Mood clashes at home
Jeridah also said she did not want her daughter to leave the house looking unchecked.
“Plus, I don’t want you walking out there embarrassing me,” she said.
She added that she did not want her daughter to look like nobody checked her outfit.
“Just looking like nobody checked your outfit,” she said.
Her daughter did not agree with her view.
“It works for me,” her daughter said in response to the comments about her outfit.
This was not the first time Jeridah shared such moments about raising her teen. She has said before that she loves her daughter, but often shares short clips of their interactions at home. She has spoken about how raising a teen comes with many moments of disagreement.
This comes after Jeridah spoke about character in relationships. She said many women believe men will change, but she does not agree.
“The majority of men don’t change their bad characters; they get worse,” she said.
She explained that she was speaking about bad character that people already struggle with in relationships.
Jeridah said, “The majority of men do not change their bad habits, do not change their bad characters, they do not change the bad character you do not approve of.”
She added that instead of changing, many men simply learn how to manage those behaviours around their partners.
