I never knew y’all was a blended family..I just see family.. Mr and Mrs Mann y’all doing and did good job raise y’all kids. This question is for the kids WHAT DID YOU LEARN FROM YALL PARENTS?
Wow this was so touching! Did y’all say that Sonya‘s other four siblings are all in prison???? 😢😢😢😢😢😢 David and Tamela please try not to feel guilty! Y’all could only do so much back then and y’all were so young! I pray that healing continues in your family and that Sonya’s other siblings get a chance to live life outside of prison. 😢
as always it was truly a blessing being able to witness my extended family together. You all are such beautiful beings. Much love and blessings to each and every one of you .
I’m cried watching this. I REALLY wish my kids father, his wife and my husband can get along. I pray for a blended family everyday. I hurts that not a lot of people can be as mature as you all.
Looking forward to seeing this. Reminder set. Lol Shout out to the Mann family.👍 All ❤ no hate. Fudge the haters continue being yall which I know yall will. Be Safe Everyone🌎😷
Don't come for Mr Mann perioddddd I loveddd this topic and i love y'all omg the ending got me y'all are a strong family and deserve every blessing God have for you God blessed
I have a blended family I’m the baby out of 12 I was always thought that the only step there is was the step outside if people had a problem with it go shove there face into it to show them
I am a product of a father who did not want me and a mother who decided not to care for me. Watching you all has really been a tremendous blessing to see a "family" that loves each other and will ride for one another without hesitation. David and Tamela continue to use this platform to share your story and heal old wounds, never apologize for any of it and live in regret-your story is breaking chains for black families all over this country and needs to be heard. I commend your honesty, your truth, and your journey as a father, husband, uncle, etc. Tamela you are a Sheppard Mother....gentle caring and anointed. Continue to walk in grace and G-d's perfected peace! Love to you all from New York City !
Although you had a rough start, God loves you and is always with you, and has always looked over you. You seem like a really respectable man. Keep your head up.
You all don’t need tv because they would drain the authenticity of the family!! I felt every bit of this!!! I love y’all!! David and Tamela you did an outstanding job with your family ❤️

The way y’all got me in here rocking like an old church mother and crying! Thanks for being so transparent and allowing us to see that through it all the Father is faithful! Keep on keeping on! ❤️ 🖤 ❤️
Agreed, I'm the only child from my biological parents but my "stepfather" Father raised me like his own since I was 5 or 6 yrs old. He came with twin boys and we never called each step anything. My Dad remarried about 16 yrs ago and since added two more additions to our family. We are all brothers and sisters. We don't do the step anything over here. And the same goes for my husband siblings too all eight of them...😁
Tia when are you and Jp doing another video me and my kids live for his pray time and y’all are too funny and Mrs Porsche when are you dropping one and Mr brown and Mrs Cora keep bringing us family video just love the family vibe stay bless y’all
You could only do what you thought you could do at that time. Remember we never know what Gods plane is for our lives. And just maybe God had to set life up that way because He knew that she would need you the most. Not to say that the boys didn't, however whose to say how life would look for either one of them if it went the other way around. We tend to beat ourselves up with our "should've, could've" when we need to real just Thank God for our "what is". Was it easy, No. Do we wish different, Yes. However 🤷🏾♀️who knows God's plan and path for our lives? No one... the only thing you can do now it do your best to be the Best for them now and pray that their is no resentment or harsh feelings. We are only human doing the best we can with what we got on this Hellish earth. God knows yall heart and He knew what was going to happen then and now. Whose to say what would've happened had yall took in all 5 children at the time. My heart & Love goes out to Yall BEAUTIFUL God field Family 💞💞💞Real Talk💞💞💞
The eldest girl is still hurting from her child hood trauma. As black women and men we gotta seek counseling outside of prayer. God put professional counselors here to help. Erase the stigma.
I have a blended family and I love them like birthed them all..it’s a total of 9 kids, was 10 (1 passed) and 17grandkids. It can get hectic but I love them so and they bring so much joy..we are raising one of our grads (5yr old) pray for me please!
My dad and mom are literally the same it was 6 one died now it’s five and we don’t even look at each other as Step( my oldest sister is my dad step daughter) or half’s (my brother and my other older sister) I have one full blooded sister and she’s younger than me but we all look at each other as full blooded siblings. And my dad have 18 grands and me and my little sister don’t even have kids yet 😂😂 but we still love each other like one big family
I am 14 years old and just had knee replacement surgery you guys give me the strength that i need to be able to get through the pain!!!!!!💖💖💖💖 Love You Mann Clan!!!!💋💋💋💋
Brianna l hope you gets better and I know god will ease your pains Because god does not gave us more than what we can bare More prayers and Blessings for you 🌹🌺🌷💜
Yall messed me up at the end... Wheeew, Jesus! I know that must be hard to bring up certain situations, but I'm praying for healing for yall and everyone watching that can relate. You are blessing others in more ways than you know. Keep pushing, Mann family. Love yall!
This is so touching. From a one bedroom to a mansion! Ms. Tamela, your spirit just shines and radiates from your pores. You are a super strong spirited woman to have accepted your sister's child and husband's children as your own and keep it moving. Sir David, thank you for taking responsibility for your actions! You sure were as you said "Out there in them sheets" (ahem streets😅)but we all have fallen short. I didn't meet my father until I was 30 years old and missed out on the blended family so I love watching yours, the dynamics and funny antics. God's continued blessings on your family.
I'm supposed to be studying and y'all got me all in my feelings crying like it was my fault😭😭😭But God I love y'all's transparency and I thank you for freely putting your business out there for people to see and understand what real children of God look like. Love y'all my other family😘😘😘
Y’all got me over here crying. Sonya been through so much, happy for her blessings. Have always had an affection for David and Tamela and now I know why...I sensed their GOODNESS.
Wow it’s 2023 and I’m just now watching all these videos. I been following since the Kirk Franklin days esp being from the Dallas area… this content is better than what’s on tv or even the net….
Whew I wasn’t ready for that ending!!! I just love y’all’s transparency. This will help so maybe people and show that blended families can work. I’m ready for part 2
This was a great episode, definitely can’t wait for part 2! Continue to be transparent and tell us the REAL, I’ve had enough of families getting on social platforms acting like they don’t have any issues!!
There's comes a time when laughter ends and reality sets in and the weight of would've, should've, could've takes over and the release of the heavy heart turns to tears. God bless you all! ❤
Mrs Mann you saved my marriage about 7 years ago when I watched you played in Madea show. I mean a lot to me and I love your family. Keep up the good work I pray that Goodness and Mercies continues to run after you and your family. Love Angela Dwyer London
I have a blended family so I truly appreciate y'all having this topic, I don't believe in the word step or jealousy within the family... Thank You!!! Thank You!!! Love & Blessings Mann Family!!! 😘💜🙏
This is a great idea. Say thank you to your son David for purchasing my bottle of water in the Norfolk, VA airport and also extend my apologies for bothering David and Tamela at the airport that morning to ask for a photo with them. I should have respected that you two were about to board. I've always wanted to say that.
I love this family, the display of love for one another is Phenomena♥️! To be able to have the hard conversations and share your truths is remarkable 😊😊thank you for sharing and continue to love one another. We can only make decisions on what we know at the time and cannot live with regrets! Praying for you'll and your love ones. God has you'll covered♥️
Great episode! Praying for you Sonya don't know what the next episode will contain but I would imagine there are time you probably feel guilty about being blessed to end up with an uncle and aunt who loved you like their own while other family members had to struggle, but trust that it was God ordained and at the time they made the best decision they could make. Love you Mann family!
Oh my goodness, ya'll I started as the story began and when Mr. Brown, mentioned the 3...I was already tearing up but when that baby burst, I felt that too. I hit the replay instantly! People just don't understand that are just looking upon all the jokes n smiles n overflow of blessings about the sacrifices...!🤧🙏🙆♀️🙋♀️
You all are a blessing to the nations! The unfiltered truths you all share are needed, especially from those who walk this Christian life. I pray many blessings over the entire family. May God continue to bless each and every one of you for the sacrifices you have made. May he answer those secret prayers that you have never uttered. You have yet to see all that God has for you for GREATER is coming for each Mann child. Continuing pouring into yourselves and watch God create a platform where you can continue to be your authentic selves. God bless you all! #PopMann, you can order me something from Amazon! 🤣🤣🤣
Oh my God I just love y'all so so much I really enjoyed this show now I m crying my ass off for her I'm just happy she had someone that loves her and took her in my heart really hurts for her fam being locked up, praying for you all y'all are great family 👏👏👏♥️💯💖💖💖💖
I’ll be working but I work from home permanently. So I’ll catch y’all on my lunch break and in between breaks. Love y’all show. This is way better then y’all tv series don’t get me wrong love those too. I just love these better cause there no editing 🙌🏽👌🏽. I’m 43 and love to watch how y’all interact with one another with no phones 📵 at the table that’s how it suppose to be. Stay blessed and safe everyone!
Man, y'all are the truth! This show is phenomenal. What y'all said about being a family--no "step" anything-- probably gave your children an added level of security. And the fact that Ms. Tamela said she observed it in her family, and learned from it, and didn't want that for her children...😪 That's a level of empathy that few possess, or even care to. Love y'all and GOD bless and I will be praying for your family and specifically Sonya (sorry if that's spelled wrong). Peace🙏🏽
Thanks for sharing such a personal and private conversation with us. A family that prays together stays together. May God continues to bless your family. 🙏
CYNTHIA JONES FROM SHREVEPORT LOUISIANA...Porcha Please read my comment. OMG. Thank you'll so much just for being #You David Tamala David jr. PORCHA TIFFANY and Sandra and baby Tia may God continue to Bless you'll and too David Sr. and Tamala You've done an #Awesome job holding your Family together by Putting God 1st🙏🙏
Okay I didn't plan to cry yall. I thought I was coming to laugh which I did that too. Yall are just such a beautiful and blessed family. The realness is just what we need in this world. I adore this channel because yall epitomize the black American dream. Keep doing it no matter who is slow to see the good yall bring. This is a very well rounded family. All the love and blessings yall can stand. ❤❤☺
OKAYYY! I've been wondering because I got the notification on the 1st and I started the video and commented (because I feel like yall are my family) and then it disappeared.....I was like whoa!!!! I'm calm now...lol
Omg , Sonya and Big David done messed me up! I’m sitting crying and rocking. Thank you for sharing such intimate details about your family. Your helping people💜
Thank you all for sharing and being so open & honest!! This is healing and helping us more than you all may think! God continue to bless this family!!💛
Lawd y'all making me cry. But I love the openness of your conversations, cause ya'll don't have to tell us your personal business but you are truly helping someone with this topic. I was in a blended family my Dad had 11 children by his first wife who passed away and I was my Mom's only child and I don't think they ever really accepted me cause now my Dad is gone and I don't really here from them to much anymore. They'll call my Mom sometimes but that's it!!! So this conversation is emotional for me as well!!! But Thank Y'all for doing this!!! God Bless the Mann Family
I love y’all show I use to watch y’all on Bet and was blessed when I seen you all arrive to RU-vid as a family this is what we needed and forget the haters!! Y’all are the bomb and always have me laughing 😂 keep being who God made you to be and telling the truth! Many blessings Shay !!
Maybe I’m wrong but I just felt like it might have been too much for Sonya at once . First the story about her mom then talking about her siblings it was a lot ! I’m not saying anybody was wrong but I’m sure anybody would’ve broke down at some point . On the bright side it’s nice to see a black family be so vulnerable especially the men , I’m sure this is going to help/heal someone so blessings to you all ❤️!
I’m so glad there’s a part 2 because this was truly amazing and so heart felt I kinda teared up when tam was telling the story of her sister because even though I don’t have a sister I know if anything happen to my brother I would more than likely take his kids❤️❤️❤️ I love y’all dearly
I was doing so good listening to the backstory of the family; til that preview of next week's episode and Sonya bursted out crying. Lord I was crying and I haven't even seen the next part yet.
We are a blended family as well, when I met my husband I was a single mom with two babies. He wanted two more, but I ended up having four more! So 6 kids total and it’s beautiful chaos!! Not to mention the looks you get when you say I have 6 kids is a whole other show!! We love y’all so much! Blended & Blessed!! And y’all leave David Jr alone he can’t help he is so “Delicious” !! 😍🤣That’s how he got his beautiful wife! Plus we know he get from his mama!! 😍😍 Go Mrs. Tamela Mann!! Got David Sr 😋 !! #EmptyNestLife #LivingOurBest Life
I agree about not having the kids consider each other "STEP" . I am the only child of my mom's, but the oldest of 11 from my dad, and we never ever ever called each other step sisters/brothers. And I am truly grateful for my mom because she always made sure I knew all of my brothers and sisters, and she never referred to them either as "step". I really appreciate her for that. I just don't understand why some people use "step" or "half"...My brothers and sisters are just that, brothers and sisters - no "step" or "half" anything!!....Love ya'll so much. You are truly a blessing to us all and can't wait for the continuation of this episode and future ones to come!!
OMG. I'm sitting here at work crying. When David started to cry and then Sonya started crying I LOST IT, yes I'm a cry baby. I LOVE how you took your kids and made your family a "Blended one"! I LOVE ME SOME MANN FAMILY. GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU
Poor Sonya I can't imagine how hard that had to be to watch her mom die and loose her siblings at the same time but thank God for David and Tamela taking her in. I also only took in 2 out of 3 of my sister's kids after she died and I know that feeling of failing the ones you could not help..I pray God helps us all to realize we did what we could. I also pray for peace for all of you
It's really nice to see your blended family. Unfortunately some families will never be blended. So, Hold the other families members up in Prayer for unity, because If it be God's will to make this happen, maybe coming together as one could happen. Blessings to you all
That box haircut though, Mr. Mann...🤣🤣🤣! But seriously really talk, I appreciate you talking about this. I think a lot of Black families don't really discuss this, making some kids feel like "outside children ".
I grew up in a family with five kids but only my parents were married. I was the last of the five and never knew anything about half or step anything until I was grown. Their attitude and childrearing decisions helped me be the father within a blended family today.
Ohhhh, Mann Family! You guys are really showing what it means to be FAMILY and how imperfect and messy it can get sometimes. But, LOVE, REAL LOVE, makes it all work out. Because of your faithfulness, God has given you a platform and I am blessed to witness it. In this world, where 'the love of many has waxed cold', THANK YOU for reminding us what God's love working in and through us can and will do. I thank God for you guys, and I pray that He continues to keep you "Safe In His Arms". ❤
Love watching yall and forget the negativity people. Your family doing what all blacks families needs to be doing, I hope I had did same with my children. I grow up with mother and father but not eating and discussing at the table and everyone was wherever in the house eating dinner. I also, enjoying the laughs and the different talking sessions. I would like to know do mom and dad keeps their grandkids any time??
Thank you for sharing. Im so emphatetic towards Sonya. I cried as you discussed her mother. I was the same exact age when my mother passed. This brought back so many memories. 🙏❤
My arms are opened wide to each of you. How incredible! The subject, "BLENDED FAMILY," is more than a blessing. By the time I was 26, my mom and dad passed, leaving me with THREE children whom they adopted. In combination, I have ONE daughter by birth, who does not have a disability, TWO brothers and ONE sister, and later, I got full custody of my God-son. Being a single parent at that time, in total, I had FIVE children; FOUR who have disabilities. It was only God that guided me through this. Today, my brothers and sisters either calls me, "Ma, or Sis!" My oldest will be 50 this year, and my youngest will be 30. I still take care of the 50 & 30-year-old. I've been so blessed beyond recognition. Thinking back, I wouldn't alter my life for anything in this world! I love them all, just as my biological daughter, who is now 38. I love them as if I carried them in my womb! We are a blessed blended family! I've got to get your book. I'm an author now, wrote a book, and working on part 2, also working on a motion picture for part 1. Please keep me and ours in your prayers as I am doing the same for all of you! May God continue to bless you all as you bless your RU-vid family with your everyday lives, unfiltered and unashamed! 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿💯
That was real but,so sad. And in Life we have ups and downs We can't go backwards. GOD does not make mistakes we do yet trust that even in this He will Bless those Young Men. One day their Journey will save others from going into those cells. Blessings and Shalom for all of You and Your Large Saved Chosen Family.
