You know what I mean? This is so funny. Two of my kids was like, mom, you're going to die. Oh, it's like any big city.

I mean, our big city is still nowhere near like this big city. Oh, okay. So you're pretty, well, I mean. We're pretty far. Yeah. Our airport is tiny. Oh, God, yes. In our big city. Oh, wow. Our airport is only two sides. Oh, wow. There's only two sides to it. You know, you get off, you walk down the hall, and you're down. You go down the escalator, and you're outside.
When I landed here, I was at the wrong place waiting for my Uber. I was on the complete opposite. And I'm like, I'm here. I don't see him. And Sean's like, he should be here. And I'm like, I think I'm there. And Sean checked my location. He's like, no, you're here. You need to go over here. Oh, my God. I had to go up two more things. Yeah, yeah. I had to go up two more things.

Welcome to Detroit. I am mortified. That sounds pretty good.
Yes. I know. I'm sorry. You know how many Ubers I've taken in Detroit and I've never had anybody cancel and so you need to tip me $20 right now? I got his name. I'll share him with you. You need to rate him. Well, Sean went ahead and rated him a five star and tipped him the $20. Cause he was nervous. He's like, right. Because he ended it while you're in it.

Chapter 2: How did Elle Bee's childhood shape her parenting style?
he should be able to like, I don't think parents need to fear their parents. I mean, I don't think kids need to fear their parents, but I think that kids need to have a respect for their parents that when dad or mom said, Oh, don't say that. They should be like, Oh, okay. I don't need to say that because they just corrected me and they, they let me know how they felt about it, you know?
So, and I guess he felt like I was trying to take that from him, but I also grappled with, If I allow him to discipline them, send them to their room, whatever, are they going to feel like I'm choosing his side over theirs? That would be hard. You know what I'm saying?
Yeah.
It was very difficult. And my daughter, she had a lot of like what I would call daddy issues, you know, like her dad wasn't there. Yeah. And she really wanted him to be there. And we took on the brunt of like, okay, you're going to your grandparents this weekend. Then Michael calls and says, well, I'm not going to come in. You know, I'm not going to be there.

Oh, see.
Yeah. So she's upset with me. She's like, why don't you bring me? And I'm like, I'm pregnant. Supposed to be on bed rest because I was pregnant. You know, I had so many kids after her and I was on bed rest with every single one of them and Sean worked offshore. But I did a lot. I did a lot. Like once he got married and he got his place and he had a wife, uh, I would bring them to his house.
I would bring food. I would bring them, go to the store, buy groceries to bring them back over there so they would have groceries to eat. Just because I knew she was going to blame me if I didn't do it. I didn't always do it. And a lot of people don't think of that either.
Chapter 5: What ethical considerations arise in reality TV commentary?
You even had it happen when you were younger.
the parent that's always there that has to do everything is doing the disciplining and the raising and all the things you're the bad one when they're little but the one that isn't around and doesn't do anything it's almost like children they have a fantasy vision of this person like oh they're the best and they're just you know what can you oh no i yeah you know i was younger i remember being like my mom i have to do all the all the bad stuff yeah so my dad coming in and out
he never had to discipline me the way she did. He never had to deal with the day-to-day bullshit. So I always had, so I always had the greatest time with them when he was out for prison for so many months. You know what I mean? Not even thinking about my head, convict, drug addict, smoking crack on the weekends. And you know what I'm talking about? So in my head, I'm like, oh my head.
And then I remember being like, like younger and being like, wow, mom, why are you so rigid? Why are you so like, cause my mom was, she's a yellow too. She could talk to a T, kind of backhand in the mouth. You know, that kind of, so. I remember being a kid and being like, wow, I wish you could be more like him. And then you get older and you realize like, damn.
You do. Now you know why.
Damn. Yeah.
Yeah. I mean, you have the kids 24-7, so you got to be the one. Yes. To discipline them and teach them right from wrong. And it's so funny because my daughter Paris actually just said this last weekend. We were coming back from my son's jiu-jitsu tournament and we were talking. And I said, Paris, why were you so like – for your dad. And she said, I just thought he was so cool.
See, she said, as a little girl, I thought he was so cool. He never got onto me and he was just so cool, you know, but that's because he could be, he could be cool.

Chapter 6: How does Elle balance criticism with empathy as a content creator?
You don't have to get onto her. He didn't have to discipline her. And it wasn't until she actually moved in with him for a little bit after he got married. She moved in with him for like six months.
And how old was she when she did that?
Like eight. Okay. Yeah. And I fought her tooth and nail. I was like, no, you're not. Which he had settled down. He was sober at the time and he had been doing good. He had a job. He had a wife that we really liked.
It's still scary as a mom though.
It is because it was two hours away and these are my babies. Right. I had her a month before I turned 18 and it was just me and her for a little bit, you know? So I fought her tooth and nail and she would not get up to go to school.
Oh wow.
She would fight. I'm not going to school. She fought me to want to move in with her dad. Finally, one morning I went to go wake her up for school and And she was fighting me again. I'm not going. I want to live with my dad. You know, it's me and Sean are the bad parents here. We're the bad parents. We're disciplining her. She's grounded. She's got rules.
