In Jamaica, You Just Have To Go With the Flow!

We're retired in rural Jamaica and today we woke up to a world with no internet! The boys had a bit of a struggle in getting their act together before school, and eventually took matters literally into their own hands. After getting them off to school, Sonia and I try out Nutri for the first time, and the chickens didn't disappoint with how many eggs they left us this morning! Then, it's time to climb the chicken coop in order to fetch some apples from our tree, while Sonia tests out her catching skills. We found a new pepper up the road and took the time to try to prepare a germinating space for it, Andre came over and helped get some lettuce from the garden, and Milo makes it into the afternoon. We have an enjoyable evening together and the boys return home for some homework before it's time to call it a night. Richness is Life.

    It takes much time to unlearn behaviours and to adjust to change. It is also difficult caring for one child, let alone several, especially when you have raised your family and are in retirement. Consistency will be key. To the boys, we are enjoying watching you learn, and grow, we are proud on your good days, and cheer you on in your accomplishments. When you have a bad day, we are disappointed the same way Sonia & Tyler are, but always know, you are loved, and supported. To the subscribers who are watching, none of us are perfect, encouragement goes a long way. “Sometimes when things are falling apart, they are falling into place” Love you Fire & Irie Crew 🇯🇲

    If I could like this video 100 times I would. From Dave flexing in the mirror 😂 to Craig singing in the bathroom 🤣... this episode was fantastic! It started off rough with the kids getting out the house but the day certainly took a turn for the better. Tyler, you're going to have to keep reminding the boys of the house rules so Sonia's pressure doesn't go up. Speaking of pressure, Sonia should do more yoga sessions with you - that was one of the more hilarious videos Tyler 🤣😂🤣 - it could help her to feel better. Thanks for your patience with Andre feeding the chickens (or at least trying to feed them), I could tell he was scared, however, he persevered. That 401Save chart shocked me. I thought Junior would be in the lead, especially since he said he wanted that bike 🙄. I guess not bad enough. When is Craig's birthday? You don't have to give the exact date, just the month. That was so nice of him to buy treats for Mahrez on his birthday. I remember he did buy you guys a gift for Christmas even though he was saving for a phone. Glad you're back to narrating again Tyler.

    I had to make another comment regarding the cup soup Sonia was drinking. I haven’t had one in years, but what I use to do is to boil the water pour it on the noodles let it sit for a bit then throw off that water and then pour fresh water on it. Also, I would add froze veggies to it to a least get a little nutritious value. She can also add some of the bok choy from the garden Tyler. Please let her know not to eat it on a regular basis though💕.

    Hi Tyler and Sonia. Tyler good to have your voice back, it makes the videos. I know you guys live in rural Jamaica, but any chance the boys could get some mental health counseling? The acting out is not only from lack of parenting, but also grief from Dad dying and Mom not around. My heart breaks for them. They are in my prayers. Stay strong you and Sonia cause this is quite the challenge.

    I'm a bit disappointed in Junior since he was the one who asked for the bicycle. However, I'm rooting for him. He'll soon join in once he realizes how quickly he could get rich. Dave is older and smarter for now. Smart move, Dave. Craig is very kind and thoughtful. Nice of him to get the baby a gift. Expect more not so good behavior from Junior. He's the youngest, and I'm sure he's dealing with internal issues mainly from the loss of his dad. He needs lots of hugs and assurance that he'll be ok. Even when his behavior is not good. Thank you both for being there for them . I know it is not an easy task. I love how the person from FLO thanked YOU for making it flow 😂😂😂

    Tyler and Sonia you are both the owners, guardians and lawmakers of your household, so what ever you say and do stands. Junior must understand when he is spoken to, that's final, or otherwise through the door and gate, and must not be allowed back in. I don't recall mention of the boys mother. Junior should be given over to the state, then it will be too late for him to recognize the beautiful life he is now given. Donot give them anything that they ask for.

    These children obviously came from a tough situation which is no fault of their own. Children need to be raised not dragged up. Sad to say a lot of times it’s almost like a generational curse where the parents was brought up the same way and that’s all they know. Therefore, they parent the same way. Tyler I give you props though you have a lot of patience 👍🏽.

Encourage Sonia to participate in your yoga sessions, I have incorporated yoga in my health journey, and it is quite the stress buster. I am appreciating the chicken, as I presently am paying $5.99-$6.50USD for a dozen organic Pasteur eggs, so respect to the hens. Memories, Milo mixed with milk, as children was our bedtime drink. As an adult not so much. The 401 Save chart update result was not surprising. Junior will soon grasp the concept, Craig, is quite the giving child, so next week he should improve on his deposit. I look forward to positive outcomes from all the boys. Thank you for narrating this episode. We are back to regular programming/ format. Continue blessings family
