And I don't want Chris in the delivery room.
I don't want him on the birth certificate.
I don't want anything to do with him.
I've decided to do a homebirth.
My body has done this three other times naturally.
And I have not ever had an issue at birth or during labor.
And honestly, with all the stuff going on,
I don't even know
what a birth like that would look like in the hospital.
Okay, so I'm just leaving my ultrasound and baby
is in fact breech.
I legally cannot have a homebirth with a midwife
if the baby is breeched.
So this could kind of throw a wrench in the plans.
I guess I'm just hoping that by the next visit,
that he'll turn.

all this money so he doesn't have to contribute
because I get paid all this money.
Like, that's just his thought process.
And it's always been his thought process.
That's why whenever we talk about money,
he takes me as a [bleep] joke.
- What about you working nine to--
- Like you have a real corporate job.
- I told him that. And he's like,
"Oh, you're working because you're trying to be smart."
- I guess-- - I don't know how we got here.
I don't know.
I was like, "Let's talk about Nova's schedule."
And he completely disregarded that.
And he just blew up like, "You get paid more than me.
"You have a $15,000 body.
I don't have [bleep] worth for $15,000."
And I'm like, "You're assuming right now because,
"first of all, I got my body done for free.
"I'm not gonna [bleep] pay all this money
to get my body done." It just went bad.
- So now what?
With her birthday being on Sunday, what's your plan?
- I don't know.
Since I don't like talking to him, like it doesn't--
- Yeah. - It just goes south so fast.
- Yeah. - And now Nova's birthday party
is gonna be super [bleep] awkward.
Like, I don't have nothing to say to him.
He's a piece of [bleep]. And everybody thinks,
"Oh, you don't give him slack" or like,
"You don't cut him slack."
But for what? Because this is his mentality is stupid.
- Yeah.
- Any time the word money comes about in any conversation...
- Yeah. - He gets defensive
and he starts throwing low jabs
and he starts making people feel bad for him
because of this or for that.
He's always like, "Oh, me and you didn't grow up the same."
I don't give a [bleep].
Me and you have the same daughter.
Why am I stuck with all these responsibilities
and you are not?
Nothing will ever get resolved
because he feels like
if he does this much, it's okay.
- Yeah.
- And then I'm the [bleep] bitch
if I say, "You know what, [bleep] you.
"I'm just gonna do it all by myself.
I don't need your help for nothing."
"Oh, now Briana's being a bitch"
or "Now Briana's keeping the kids away"
or "Now Briana doesn't let me do this with Nova
or that or blah, blah, blah, blah, blah."
It's always me that's the problem.
It's never anybody else.
They take me as a joke, and they don't appreciate me.

- The girls are back with Corey, and Aleeah
is supposed to start in-person school on Monday.
But we just found out that that might not happen.
- Are y'all excited for school to start?
- Yeah.
- This year's gonna be a lot harder.
- It is gonna be harder.
- That's what they say every year.
- Do you think it's gonna be hard to get in a routine?
Because that's my thought.
- Nope, not for me.
- Because with you, we know what yours is.
So what do you think about going to school?
Are you happy with our decision to do in-person for you?
- Yes. - Why?
- Because I get to see people. - Other than us.
- Yeah. - But here's the thing,
if the number of COVID cases go back up,
you might not be able to go to school in person.
The state has, like, a color-coded map
based off of how many cases of COVID,
like active cases we have.
If you're orange or red, you have to do e-learning.
If you're in the yellow or green,
you can go to in-person. Does that make sense?
- Yep. - So you know what I'm saying?
- Yeah. - We'll make it work.
- We have to check weekly if the girls are going back
to in-person learning.
And the school just hosted an announcement.
- Addie! - What?
- Come here, babe. - Coming.
- I'm looking at your--the map on the school's website...
To see where we're at this week.
Right now, our county is in red.
So instead of going to school in person,
gonna do e-learning from home.
- What's e-learning? - E-learning is where
we do our work on the iPad from home with our teachers.
- Not cool, dude.
I feel you.
But...
I think that the safest route is the best route,
even though it's not cool, dude.
- Don't say that.
- Oh, am I not cool enough to say that?
- No.
- What the...
I'm totally a cool mom.
I can say "dude."
- No. It's not cool when you say it.
- I'm not really surprised that the school district
decided to do all virtual learning.
As bad as I want them to go in person,
I want it to be the right time.
We want to keep Ali safe. We want to keep everyone safe.
So if that's the safest route,
then I'm gonna roll with the punches.
I think homeschooling with three kids
will definitely be stressful.
I was prepared for Ali to be at home.
And I'm definitely scrambling last minute
to prepare for Aleeah and Addie to be home as well,
but make the best of it.

you have to wash your hands, okay,
so that you guys can hold the baby.

The boys were really loving and gentle and super excited.
So that was really, really nice to see.
Lux is always excited to see his brothers
when they come home. I think he was super pumped
to show Creed to Lincoln and Isaac.
I will say
that I was very surprised by how much Lux loves the baby.
I definitely thought that there was gonna be some jealousy
and more of like a learning curve
and adjustment to the baby.
But honestly, he's really been great.

I can't make this [bleep] up. This was on his birth chart.
- We've never done anything like this
'cause I hate surprises.
- I have a student that is disobeying.
- They're not here when it's time to parent.
They're only here to celebrate the good times.
