Y'all are stupid, lol. Auntie Bamboozled will make sure the babies are good and sugared up before I send them home.

OK. I'm slow. Sorors give me some clarification on the siblings. Vanessa, Angela and JoJo are not Justine's kids? If that is the case I would never have known looking at Vanessa and Angela because they look like they belong to Run and Justine. The only thing that throws JoJo off is his darker complexion.

And y'all wonder why I ain't moved. :p

Run and Valerie are the parents to Vanessa, Angela and JoJo. JoJo's complexion is similar to Valerie's.

Justine is mom to Russy, Diggy, and fetus. :)

OK. So another question why are the three older kids with Run & Justine and not their mother?

LOL, we all want to know that answer. :D

Check that out....I remember when Run got divorced from his first wife and from what I remember he has always had the kids.

Thanks for that info. I didn't even know he was married before.

Soror, you can't do me like that. :(

So all of y'all are just gonna act like their mom and stepdaddy don't look like they met at rehab?

OK, my bad. Maybe I didn't have my glasses on while watching the episode and am making a bad generalization about the folks... However, stepdad does look like he has served a little time. And mama too....

Maybe the older kids were with Run because he was a little more financially stable. Although he could have just as well paid child support and given them the same lifestyle....Things that make you go hmmmm.....

Soror, you are soooo wrong for that, CTHU!!:p

Actually "Redefined" is correct. It was well known "back in da day" that Run and Russ had issues with "da pipe". Run turned away from drugs this was a part of his spiritual revolution. Russ too, that's why he became a vegan and a Buddhist. It is also well known that his former wife did not decide to follow his lead and Run ended up caring for the children. When Justine met him, he was a single father.

It is more interesting that the children(Vanessa, JoJo and Angela) call Justine mom.

That is what threw me off. I was trying to think back, like "don't they call Justine mom?" Hell naw. I would have to be long in my grave before my child called anybody else mom. Even then my ghost would haunt them. I don't even play that step-mom crap. You, hypothetical person whom my ex-husband may someday choose to marry, shall have no derivative of the word "mother" in your title. And that's about it.

Soror Redefined, I was thinking the same thing about the crackishness of the mom and her husband...

Soror-twin, I DO agree with you about the step-mama issue, HOWEVER, if you were a crackhead (at which time I would have to beat you down and drag you to rehab) and had been since lil' Skee was a tot and step-mama was the only REAL mother figure she had ever known, could you blame her?

Aside from it all, their family has a different dynamic. They are close knit and probably don't even sweat it like that. Justine does everything for them (from what we can see). She gets her props for that.

Yes I could and would "blame her".

Actually I can see them calling her mom. My step brother was raised by my mom from the time that he was 6, why do you ask because, basically his motther told his father to either come get him, or she was going to put him out in the streets. Nope she wasn't on drugs, but as you see she is/was crazy. My mom raised him and he calls my mom, mom. You would never know that he isn't my blood brother and his father not my bloos father because we are that close.
