Now we can plan the future.
I am turning 30 this year with a baby.
Like the time is now.
At the same time, I would rather be married.
- There was some issues with the kids picking on Kloie,
so me and Sean thought it would be a good idea
to just do homeschooling.
So you take ten of these blocks.
- Okay, so we're not doing what I was doing?
- This is just gonna be easier.
- I'll just go in another room then.
- We don't need two people barking at her.
- I'll just go in the other room.
- I just feel like it's overwhelming for her.
- Well, it's not. If you wouldn't--if you would
just let me talk instead of cutting me off
and saying you got it.
Homeschool is not for the weak-hearted.
- Yeah, that's why most kids go to school.
- See, it's a tent.
- It's a tent. - Tent.
- Sorry, it's a tent.
- I feel like Vaeda hasn't really
been talking clearly yet.
- And you've noticed that she's always been kind
of speech-delayed with articulation and enunciation
and things like that.
We're gonna get a hearing test today.
- Okay. - Because we wanna make sure.
- So I'm just gonna play sounds for her
through the speakers. - Okay.
- Yay!
- So, okay.
So the good news is her hearing is perfect.
Her speech and with all of her behavioral development,
I'm gonna give you guys into some good speech therapists.
- Okay.
- Are you thinking about doing speech therapy?
- I don't know. What do you think?
- We're kind of just-- - I don't know.
I would just wait.
- I don't know if you've heard or not,

How do you feel about moving?
I think it would be really, really good
for all of us, you know. - Okay.

He was the only friend David would let me talk to weirdly.
- [bleep] does he live?
- Las Vegas. - Okay.
- I'm gonna look at places here.
I'm gonna look at places there.
- Wow. - I'm gonna decide which--

I was thinking, you know, if I did go to Vegas,
I could start my own marijuana business.
- Yeah, that's really big out there.
- Yeah.
- What's in there?
- The medication I paid for, Briana, help yourself.
- What is that?
- It's a narcotic.
It's methadone.
- We're on drugs?
- I found a woman's center that deals with trauma.
I think I'm gonna go over there.

So I kind of need some mom advice.
Vaeda is five now, and she's
still not speaking that clearly,

in loud environments.
Her teacher and I have talked,
and they want to get her an IEP,
which is an Individualized Educational Program.
Has anybody else's kids had to get this done?
I'm trying not to make a big deal out of it,
but it's definitely got me a little stressed.
[phone ringing]
- All right.
- Hello. - Can you put it on speaker?
- Hi, how are you?
Yeah, I was told that Vaeda is going
to have an IEP evaluation.
- Yes.
She'll be evaluated at school tomorrow,
and then we'd like to schedule a time to go
over her results with you.
- Um, so--and when you guys do this and she gets, like,
a certain score, does that help you
know if she's a little like--
- Neurodivergent, or?
- Neurodivergent or anything of that nature?
- It does not.
I think you're kind of feeling out for, like, autism.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
- It does not give me a score for any of that stuff, no.
So that would be something that we test for
later on with, like, a psychologist.
- Okay.
- We really don't start looking at that stuff
until it starts impacting her education.
- And yeah, that all sounds good.
And then I'll wait to find out about the IEP meeting,
and then we can kind of go from there.

My mom went to a rehab center.

to heroin for a long time.
- Like real heroin or like opiate?
- Heroin.
And she got on methadone.
- Okay. - And--
- Like, she's been on methadone--
like this was recently?
- I found out from my grandmother
that she's been on and off of methadone
since she was pregnant with Brittany.
Brittany's 32 years old.
- So wait, so she just never told anybody?
- My whole family knew, my grandmother and all my aunts,
but they didn't tell us. - [bleep].
- It's just, like, so shocking to me.
Like, I'm--like, it's killing me on the inside,
and I feel like I'm going into this really dark place.
And I don't wanna do that, especially around the kids.
- There's all these different emotions that you go through,
and then you start thinking, like,
you're [bleep] crazy or something.
So I feel like having other people makes you
feel like you're sane.
You should try Al-anon.
- I think I need it.
I think I need to do something for myself.
- Yeah, I think it'll help.
Start with Al-anon and, you know,
learn how to start with, like, accepting

But I'm saying all kids have strengths and weaknesses.

weigh it on the scale.
And she's--her numbers went zoom.
I mean, you see that graph?
- No, I know she's succeeding. I just feel bad.
I just don't want her to struggle.
- So you're worried about, what,
her emotional being overwhelmed or being over, over--
- And she doesn't like, changes and--
- Okay.
I think that's pretty normal.
Humans hate change.
We hate--all of us hate change.
It's natural.
Baby, she's--she's fine.
As far as it's not affecting her learning.
I think this right here--look, she's much more than others.
She's more alert and active in a learning environment
when compared to other students.
- I don't know, it just makes me emotional.
- I think that's normal, honey. You're a mom who cares.
- I just want her to succeed and do great.
- Well, according to her, she's exceeding.
- Yeah, you're right. - So.
- Yeah, because she is progressing.
- A lot.
- It's just more of the sensory stuff.
She has to remove herself or she needs
to stand to do things. - Which is totally okay.
I'm proud of her that she does it on her own.
Do you know how important that is
for a five-year-old girl who just turned five
to regulate herself?
Adults can't even regulate them damn selves.
I wonder how better I would have been as a kid
if someone did what we were doing.
Because when I was younger, it was--
I was just--they just threw it up and said
I just was a behavior problem. - Yeah.
And I'm hoping if I create like a cozy corner or something,
it'll help her with the meltdowns at home.
We met up at Vaeda's school,
and we met up with her speech therapist, the principal,
her teacher, and then another lady
who does, like, evaluations for sensory issues.
We did find out that Vaeda struggles
with like loud noises, wanting to move or fidget.
For Vaeda, it comes out in, like, yelling
and getting angry or crying.
But she is also, like, exceeding everything in class.
And at first, it was very overwhelming.
Like, oh, my gosh, she's gonna struggle.
Now, we're just gonna have to help her as best as we can
and learn about it.

My brother is our head cultivator.
I run the operations and the dispensary.

We have a room where we get hotbox.

is Whoopi Goldberg's brand.

Our license is fully integrated,

I need to do something with this relating to weed.

called This Time of the Day.

- I think my history is gonna have
a lot to do with this brand.
And then I was thinking, like, moms are shamed for smoking.

to help with a lot of problems like menstrual and above.

- Yeah, I'm thoroughly impressed with you, though.
- Yeah, I really appreciate you, though, helping me out.
I feel like I wouldn't be able to do everything that I've been
able to do without like a partner picking up the slack
and helping with her, especially with homeschooling.
- But yeah, watching you do all that stuff is helping me find
drive to pursue a career now.
- We could be a power couple.
- Yeah. This is your dinner.
This is to your career, your first close,
and a happy marriage.
- Yes. Cheers.
Thank you.

- Hello. - Hi. May I speak with Jade?
- Yeah, this is her.
- I'm calling from the [bleep] school with the results
of Kloie's assessment.
I wanted to share the good news that Kloie
passed with flying colors.
- Awesome.
Nice.
Any parent that has, you know, sent a kid
to school that watched their kid be miserable,
it's a terrible feeling.
You wanna do anything in the world to make sure
that your kid is happy and feels safe, feels like they're
at a place that they belong.
We really made the right decision
deciding to homeschool her.
And I really think that me and Sean are really good teammates
throughout life and parenting.
