Do you think anything will change in your married life, as opposed to when you were dating?

Mendeecees: You know what happens when you have kids?

Yandy: What?

Mendeecees: They sleep in your bed. When you’re married, you’ll start sleeping with the scarves on. You’ll walk around with the boxer shorts.

Yandy: I do that now.

Mendeecees: You’ll start to get fat.

Yandy: You think that’s what happens in marriage?

Mendeecees: That’s what happens in most cases!

Yandy: You don’t know. You have no friends that are married.

Mendeecees: I seen it on television.

Yandy: Oh, great. I think that the thing that will change for me is that there is no breakups. I hope I’ll be quicker to apologize and resolve things because I know this is for the long haul. This is forever. He’s always the first one to apologize. I think this will help me not to be so stubborn.

How has your home life changed since bringing your new baby girl Skylar into the mix?

Mendeecees: I’m still waiting to see her personality. Our sons all have their different personalities. We got one son, my oldest, that’s now getting into fashion, basketball, and girls. Another son, my middle son, he’s just laid back. My youngest son is just wild. Everything is his way. He’s bossy. I’m just waiting. I’m curious to see what her personality is and who she’s going to follow and be like.

Yandy: The only thing that’s different now in our house is that all the attention is on her when she’s in the room. All the boys, and dad, are always making things about Skylar. She’s everybody’s baby. Omere doesn’t like people kissing her. He’ll say, “Don’t touch my baby! Please don’t kiss my baby.” He’ll cover your mouth so you’re not kissing her, especially with his dad. Me, I get a pass, because I’m the mom. But dad can’t kiss his baby.

Mendeecees: He’ll come up to me and say, “I kissed your daughter! I kissed your baby! Ah-ha!” I’m trying to get him to understand that I am the creator of this child, as I am to him.

Yandy: Yea, he’s 2 years old. He’s not going to get that.

How do you guys balance parenthood with your careers?

Yandy: Right now, you can see I have my baby girl with me. I’m a breastfeeding mom, so I always have to take the little ones with me. My son is off of it now, but you have to balance. You have to have a good support system. I’m a working mom, so she has to come with me. Even when I was in my office with my son, he had a little playpen in the office. It’s just kind of how things work. I can do things a little different because I’m an entrepreneur, which helps. My children are my priority. After children and my family comes work.

Mendeecees: It can be difficult sometimes, because you don’t get the time you want to spend with them as much as you’d like. At the end of the day, though, it’s worth it. We got the same goal, which is to make sure that we straight, and the kids are straight. We both gotta just work hard. We understand that. You know, we gotta fight for some free time.

Yandy: If I know he has an early morning, I’ll make sure my day starts a little later so I can stay home with the little ones. Whatever it is, we just support each other and make it work. If we don’t hustle, we don’t eat. We gotta hustle to keep our checks coming in.
