I’m much older, but every time I hear young people talk about a 50/50 relationship it makes me laugh and think of my father, who was from another time. He said “ When it’s a 70/30 split, ain’t no confusion about who the King is in the Castle. “ 😂

I just wanna leave this here, SOME mothers have done a poor job (some in my family included that’s why I have this opinion) at raising the men in the family. Me & my sister are basically slaves in the house we live in& the men are slack & relaxed. This is why some men have the notion (because they saw it growing up) that women are supposed to give 200% while they think they compartmentalize what they can & cannot do in the home. You are sooo correct that women have another job after coming home from a corporate job or job on the outside. So now the ladies have to be really careful of the men they get into relationships with because their mom taught & instilled things in them that they think are correct but you’re like he’s a good guy but the way he looks at things & how he thinks you’re supposed to do this & that & he’s supposed to just sit at home & do everything is just not for me & for other women I think. Thank you for sharing this video, you have to know how you want your relationship to be & not what society says & if he’s held by societal roles then you have to make a decision on whether you can compromise on that or not. Thanks for coming to this long TedTalk lol ❤❤❤❤❤

Yesss I always say do what works for your household or your situation. That’s with money, love life, career, etc. We’re all journeying through life differently.

Seeing the title I’m like lord i ain’t ready for that one 😭motherhood has been a lot and the less help the harder it is

😩 “Running To Walgreens.. The Project Due Tomorrow” Took me back #95baby I was the only child ( for 11 years )and my mom use to work from 11PM to 7AM. Man…. You took me back. My father worked as well 9AM to 7PM. They made it work ❤️💪👑👑 Shout out to all the mothers, fathers, even the family members too help babysit #loveFamily.. no family is perfect… But it made me a good woman and stay out of the streets. Thanks for sharing and being open. Happy New Years.. Congratulations on your bundle of joy. I remember when… It’s your growth for me and the support from you as well #MutalLove

We’ve missed your vulnerability girl! It’s what kept us coming back for more content, love to see your growth & can’t wait to see mama kat😊

Lord i see what you doing for others 😂🙏🏾 girl i loved this GRWM. You let us in but not too much. It’s the perfect blend! All the advice is so helpful and hearing about your experiences is so helpful. We love you girl!! ❤

Kat, I LOVE seeing your name pop up in my notifications! This video was soooo enlightening and it just showed how inspiring you are! You’re gonna make such a wonderful mom 🥰 I definitely want more GRWM videos! It’s so nice to see you interact/answer questions 💕

I'm so grateful that someone from the next generation can see the entire picture. The fact that you said it goes so much more beyond going 50/50 financially. Because marriage isn't just a corporation. Yes it is two people coming together but it is so much more and especially for women. It cannot be quantified down to paying for the bills equally. Because as you referenced brilliantly I might add, is that the second shift exists for a lot of women and it is what contributes to our anxiety and our depression. Trying to have a successful and loving relationship splitting things so-called 50/50 is probably why in the United States that the divorce rate is so high. There are other ways to have a fair and balance marriage, not just financially, but spiritually philosophically however you want to look at it. I absolutely love this conversation and it's great to see young people having it in a mature way. I'm an older person and 50/50 just like another person posted on this is a joke. There's no such thing! Or did the vows that you took standing before God mean nothing? That's just my opinion so please be respectful as I hope that I was.

Sugar is so attentive when you were talking about her 🥺 she looks just like my baby Mellow and he is definitely a Velcro dog

Like you said stay ready so you don’t have to get ready. I encourage all new hires to contribute to your company’s 401k plan as soon as you’re eligible because you never know when the unexpected will show up. I remember when I lost my job in 2019 for the first time ever in life and how that made me feel. I hate to even think back to that period in life but I definitely know how he felt.

Your mom’s advice was perfect and spot on.

Yes ma’am. I agree with you on the 50/50 topic and how the nature of relationships are unique to everyone. I’m not sure why it seems like more is expected out of women with nothing more expected of men?I sure as hell ain’t going 50/50, I but to each their own 😌

I love your GRWM videos and chit chats. You’re so relatable, and genuine in every way. Love you girl

I’m loving this chit chat video.. each conversation relates like crazy especially being laid off and accepting a job with a pay cut

Love your transparency in this vlog 🥹❤️

Thank you for your transparency! I needed to hear allllll of this at this very moment because sometimes it’s just good to know you are not alone in struggling in life ❤

Love how you worded this, how you said well the traditional role ❤

Hey pretty!! Thanks for the upload. Loved it. The mention about your doggie poo was precious. I could feel your energy when talking about her being the dog made just for you. ❤

Listen to your mom and don't be discouraged. I completed my masters in computer information systems 6 months after having my 2nd child as a single married mother.

heyyyyy sis! loved this chit chat! you made some valid points. im so happy for you as you embark on this journey to motherhood!

Honestly your mom is right. Also so glad you are enjoying pregnancy it is beautiful. I just gave birth to a baby boy 5 weeks ago and the best thing I did was advocate for myself. If you NEED a moment say it. Becoming a mother is so beautiful and enjoy it and keep your peace. Thank you for sharing your journey

Kat! I’ve been following you on here for a while & FINALLY saw you one day at Walmart lol. Thanks so much for this inspiring video❤️❤️ The part that resonated with me the most was when you were talking about your husband losing his job, cause honeeyyyyy it’s not easy. Thanks again for being vulnerable with us😌

Thank you for sharing this, I’ve been married for 14 years now and I believe many women want a wedding not a marriage, because marriage is not always glamorous, being vulnerable with someone and vice versa takes time and a whole lot of patience.

This has been the realest video I have came across in awhile ❤

I absolutely loved this convo, especially your perspective on going “50/50” Love your channel and wish you all the best in 2023 ❤🎉

Loved this video!!

Soo pretty. I enjoyed listening to you talk and watching you do your makeup. Beautiful from beginning to end 💕

Thank you for transparently sharing with us. You don’t have to bring us along your journey at all but to do so transparently and authentically is appreciated. This is my favorite video yet. As always, I’m praying for you, your family and a healthy baby. 💜

I truly enjoyed this REAL and honest heart to heart. I resonated with a lot of what you said. You look so beautiful btw🥰💗

I thoroughly enjoyed this convo and the positive perspectives you had to share. 💖💖

You’re looking amazing!! Loved the video and thank you for sharing!! I’d love to see all the baby content (hospital bag, shopping, nesting, as much as you’re comfortable sharing) ❤

Hey Kat! I don’t really say much, but I’ve been watching you for years! Your content is so refreshing. I love hearing your perspective on different topics. Wishing you a prosperous year!❤

Haven’t been on YT in a very long time. Your video was the first to pop up on my screen. I’m so happy to watch you grow and flourish. Congrats on your journey to motherhood. Wishing you and your family the best❤

You’re glowing Kathryn 😍

Hey girl, always nice to see you and virtually chat with you. Enjoyed the Q&A. You really got some great questions. Hope you, baby, and hubby are having a great weekend.

Kat! Your makeup is gorgeous. It’s really refreshing to see a young, married woman who still got it going on 🎉 you & your husband will be great parents. Thank you for the transparency because I can totally relate to everything said! 😘😘

Your answer to the 50/50 question is why I've been following you for years and enjoying your content. You are so intelligent, mature and just so different from the typical KZfaqr. Geesh. Love that! Also, the way you apply make up so flawlessly, geesh! Happy 2023! And keep being the cool down to earth Kat that we LOVE!❤️

You always have the best chit chats!

Literally you are truly my favorite KZfaqr, so much so I feel like we’re real friends in life 😂. Much blessings to you!

Your skin has improved so much the over years!

Ugh felt like I was having a chitchat with one of my girlfriends love you kat and thank you for being so open and honest I loved each topic ❤

I love this Chit chat!

Omg, this was so nostalgic like old Kat videos 💖💖 Definitely enjoyed this one

Hey Kathryn. I’m with you on the do what works for you. I work full time, in school online and I’m married with one child. I have three more semesters spring, summer and fall and I’m focusing on the end goal.

Over the years you’ve become one of my favorites. And the fact our pregnancies are so close and we literally think so similar, I love you moreeee! Keep on keeping on! Can’t wait to see more from you!

We 🤎 you, Kat. This video was everything; I couldn’t agree more with your points.

Kathryn, you are so dog-mom goals. I love seeing and hearing about the relationship that you both have. Congrats Sugar on getting your bag. Sugar, you are so adorable, and so helpful for taking good care of your mommy. Sis, you slayed this look as always, and I am in awe that you are pregnant and still taking such great care of yourself. You know what they say if you look good, you feel good. Here's a shout out to Zarius for being such a great husband, provider and such a great support for you Kathryn, you are truly blessed. Until the next upload, take care.

Hey Kat!!! I love your content. Especially how open and honest you are it very refreshing!!! I so relate to you on the loner topic... Do you have a link for where you got your earrings? They are so cute!!!

You are glowing & you look so good!

Loved this video you spoke the real💯💕I’m your age and I’m glad when I can relate to other black women on certain values and standards. I also want to wait til marriage until I have kids and I honestly don’t know many women my age who were married before they had their children. Been watching your content for years and I’m excited to see mommy Kathryn on your channel !!☺️

yes I love thisss. I'm 22 but I agree wholeheartedly, I always said I'll have this convo with my s.o before getting engaged and marriage so we'll be on the same page. I love thee look! I need a step by step😭🥰🥰🥰🥰

The chit chats be lit! Aww Sugy! 😍😍

Hey Kat, you’re looking gorgeous as usual. Congrats on the pregnancy

Loved this!

Hey girl! Happy new year. Sending love.

Hey Kat! Loved the video as always! ❤

I loveeee this video. 🙌🏾

Hey Kay, Enjoyed the Chitchat.

Love your content

Heyyyy gorgeous!!! 😍😍😍 Great video and solid point of view! In relationships/marriages there will be ups and downs however consistency is the key to making each area of the marriage/relationship work.

Hey 👋🏾 loved the video ❤

So pretty as always 😍

Great video❤

Congratulations! And great video and content!

20:10 I’m like she’s soooooo zoned into you I love it 🥰

You’re glowing! Can you give us a natural makeup look tutorial run down again

Great video, as always Kat! Thank you for being vulnerable and transparent with us. 🫶🏽 Love how you spoke on fear before sometime happens - it really is a waste of time lol wishing you a safe delivery and healthy baby!

Hey beautiful Kathryn!!!

The way that sugar looks at you when you’re talking 😫🥰🥰🥰

Just making my presence known 😂 great chat, girl. Enjoyed it.

What you said at the end , about every situation is different is a factt

Hey…love you girl❤

A their enjoyable chit chat!

Sooooo beautiful pregnant omg♥️♥️

Women work, clean , take care of the kids and are often the emotional support role etc. therefore I would never do 50/50 I agree with you.

Hey Kat girl! We are very much homegirls in my head, I love you 💗

I’m really here for these conversations. Specially the people treating you different while pregnant. I can’t relate to the pregnant part but I’m getting married and people are coming from everywhere talking about am I inviting them. Haven’t spoke to them in I don’t know how long.

Just saying hey girl hey 💕💕

Thank you for sharing

Be intentional

With the 50/50 situation, I agree with you. I did grow up with parents who do the 50/50 but your way of thinking made me think higher. I just know I refuse to be the man and woman of the relationship. Its really women out here who literally doing the most just to have a man😭

Kat, your aura is so gentle and humbling. I'm so proud of your growth over the years. I'm a first time mom to a 4 month old so I feel even more in sync with your content.. I can tell you're gonna be GREAT mom. I pray for a safe & healthy delivery.. enjoy every bit of this journey!

Hiiii 👋🏽❤

❤️

Hey beautiful 😍

Have you ever done the under the lash line eyelash trend

Help them with the project the night before is crazy 😭😭

❤❤❤

Def be mindful and cognizant while evaluating these ppl that wanna be in your life now that you have a baaaby on the way 😏

Pivoting in life fr s/o y’all holding it down . When you work for the man it’s they call fr you ain’t lie

You had it on instagram for us to ask questions ? I missed it

Wow… I kinda got emotional with you saying you had to tell your family to advocate for you in the instance you aren’t taken seriously… it’s sad that you have to do that, but that’s the smartest thing to do for the safety of you and your baby!

#Tooper 💪💗💗👑

Definitely harder to have that arrangement if you make more money

Beautiful girls and I like you.

That’s exactly what they gunna do. Ignore because “black women have a higher pain tolerance”

Great Video As Always Love that Thumbnail Tho Your Pretty SelF Makeup Look Good 😘Nice Cheeks Bones Enjoy your night as well Have a Fabulous weekend ahead 😇Stay Bless N Be Safe Always😇

You’re so beautiful & relatable. 🥹 We’re the same age and we have similar goals. I’m studying Social Work and psychology is so interesting to me. Blessings. ❤
