His mom allowed what? She told him he should be staying with Yvette. That wasn’t just his BM that was his girl. nikka had his own family. At that point it’s time to man up and be the man of the house you created
And the only reason he didn't want to stay with his woman and son was because he wanted to live rent free while smashing random bytches in his girls car.


It was time to grow the fukk up, Melvin did jody a favor by essentially forcing him to get his shyt together.

That's fukking ridiculous.

:francis:

it’s a “sad” reality tho...I put that in quotes tho cuz I know a couple of women who had their kids in their early teens and they are now successfully holding shyt DOWN and their kids are doing well..of course that’s probably more along the lines of the exceptions tho

Use to think this movie was kinda silly as a youngin but man when you watch it as an older adult you see what Singleton was trying to show/portray with this movie


The acting is still over the top but there are some real poignant commentaries and messages in the film.


Me too. I didn't watch it for years, thinking it was some ratchet shyt. But it was way better than I thought:ehh:

There was nothing to dispute because you're not even talking about the same thing I'm talking about. You're talking mentally and I'm talking legally. Go back and read again
Because you're using the legal definition to state what someone should mentally be ready for, and I'm not the only one in here separating the two while you continue to conflate them. Like I said, arguing to argue.
He was 20 with a kid who was atleast 5 and another kid that's even older than that?

At that point it’s not pushing him off. Dude had his own family to worry about. He was no longer her responsibility
my point is his situation is largely due to the failure of his predecessors



Yvette wanted him there though. Whether his moms failed raising him or not, the fact is that nikka was grown and a father his own self. So it was time to man up. Can’t blame your mama forever.

He knew If he moved in with Yvette he would have to step it up, bring some real income into the house, be a full time father rather than a part time daddy, no more sliding over to fukk peanut (his other BM) ect. He would have to grow up. He knew and his mama knew. He would rather stay up under his mama and be a boy forever.

Yall defending him says a lot about what kinda men y’all are. :sas2:
there is no excuses for jody

it's reasoning

the expectation that someone should know how to do right with no example or guidance is foolish

jody was fukked up but the groundwork for that is laid generations deep

a man should not be proud to be ignorant or unreasonable

Nah, pretty much every foreign community (Africans, Haitians, Asians etc) + a lot of well to do cac families let their kids stay with them damn near till 30 or till their married as long as they contribute to the house and go to school/or have a career. U cant expect an 18 y o to afford a 1200$ 1 bed room apt on an entry level job position.

Throwing someone on their ass at 18 & saying “your grown” disenfranchises the kid. U cant build generational wealth.

Nonetheless, Jody at the least should have had a part time job.
People don't wanna hear this. People treat their children like an 18 year prison sentence and they don't wanna serve one extra day. Fail to give them financial education(the average public school doesn't cover financial responsibility at all) and just throw them to the wolves.

What you end up with is everybody starting from square one over and over. No people will ever get ahead like that. Like ever. It's impossible.

What happened to good parenting being a construct? :troll:
I made that thread to have a philosophical debate on what makes a good parent and those standard change depending on the society

Not that I believed that parenting is wrong or bad

And his mom was trying to give him the guidance that he had previously lacked by telling him to go be a man and take care of the family that he created. He wasn’t tryna hear it though, so more extreme measures had to be taken.

the be a man talk is empty

it was too late at that point

her saying be a man is a joke when he was given zero tools or examples of what that would entail

she didn't raise a man

baby boy is a fictional film because honestly if it was real there would've been no happy ending

before jody could be a failure his family & community had to fail in raising him first

it would be a different conversation if he was given all that was necessary to thrive & still chose to be a crash test dummy

that wasn't the case though
