Thicker Than Water 12-15-13 (#ThickerThanWater)

Did you see Thicker Than Water tonight, it had Kandi and Todd on it. The reason for Kandi appearance on the show was Jewel wanted Kandi to talk to her group that she gets together to teach women how to become millionaires. What was funny about it was Kandi got the chance to teach Jewel two lessons while she was there and one that I saw was that just because you got money does not mean you have to make others feel at a lower standard or beneath you by talking above their heads. Jewel had the audacity to say that the average American makes a 100,000 dollars, what world is she living in or has the money just gone to Jewel head, how can her and her husband have a church and not know what is going on in the real world for their congregation and that is making it from paycheck to paycheck. I guess Jewel is trying to set this high bar to make everyone want to at least make this amount of money but you do not do this by making others feel bad for not making this money, you suppose to be giving real advice on how they can do this. I have to agree with Jewel sister when she says her sister is just living in this fantasy world and she is quick to judge others. Jewel is so out of touch she really does not know how to deal with her own children, she just seems to be out of touch with them, it is all about what Jewel wants and that her children will do as she say and that is it. Cyrene was a big part of the show tonight and she is like any teenager, she is struggling with the pressure of being a teenager. She wants a boyfriend and has a guy whom she is close with but she keeps hearing her mother and father in her ear on what she should do or not do as she is talking to this boy. Now I agree with Jewel that Cyrene should not be having sex at a young age and girls should not have to prove to a boy they love them by having sex. What the thing about Jewel is she is in her daughter ear constantly and if she raise her child correctly should she not be confident in the fact that her child will make the right choice and not keep buzzing in her ear, it only made Cyrene more upset because she felt that her mother did not trust her. Cyrene invited her friend over the house and her mother as well as her father was almost watching their every move. They stepped outside at one point and like Cyrene said it is not like they will have sex in the back yard on the rocks, why was they picking out the blinds. Kandi came over to dinner and she wondered why Jewel held so a tight ring on her daughter to the point she could not really kiss a guy. Kandi made a point to tell Jewel that if your child will do something she will do it without your knowledge because you have such a tight hold on her. If you want your daughter to be able to come to you and not feel like she will be judge than you will have to put your trust in your child and show that you trust him or her. The show ended up with Cyrene breaking it off with the guy because she knew it was the right thing but she was in tears and hear mother was still buzzing in her ear as her daddy began to understand the hurt of his daughter and just began being there for her and rocked her in his arm as a daddy should. As for Jewel she was still running her mouth about it is the right thing and Cyrene walked away calling her Mama Dearest, what a low blow but she deserved it.
