I love how Kenny and Armando speak to Hannah with the respect you give an adult. Many parents invalidate their children’s feelings because “mother/father knows best.” But Kenny and Armando treat Hannah like she is their third partner in life, with equal say, and with lots of consideration, unlike a lot of other parents we have seen in this shows history. I think that’s really beautiful. It also seems they are careful to protect her from too much exposure to the adult world. It’s been shown time and time again how close this family is and I love that Hannah is so open to Kenny as a step parent. It’s clear Kenny and Armando were born to be parents, in my opinion, and they never stop working at keeping their family happy and strong. I know that’s based only what we can see on tv…. But I don’t think they are acting. The world needs more like aren’t like this. 🙌🏻

Edit: let’s not forget all the work Armando especially put in, in earlier seasons, with his parents and his own family who were struggling to accept his new relationship. They didn’t understand how he could love Hannah’s mom but then love Kenny. Armando and Kenny also brought Armando’s mom to speak about their idea of moving to Mexico City. There is just so much consideration for everyone involved in their lives and it’s very touching to see how transparent they are with each other about their feelings. Armando’s mom is an mvp for coming on tv and being vulnerable when she definitely didn’t have to.

    The guilt tripping from Armando’s mom was so hard to watch though. Unfortunately far too common for a Mexican child who breaks out of the mold and I applaud Armando’s courage to have those conversations with his mom. The intergenerational trauma and pressure is So real.

        People can say all day long that Mexico City is safe.

        As a mom, I would be afraid for the safety of my son, and for Hannah.

        They are celebrities, and criminals would be able to glean a lot about their lives.

          I am going to go out on a limb and say maybe people say that all day long because its safe. Just a crazy thought

            Chicago isn’t even safe. Mexican City is sure as hell way worse. The cartels are literally running around there and run the city.

        To be fair, Armandos doing to same thing with the baby situation. Kenny CLEARLY does not want another kid, and Armando is literally ignoring the obvious signs and pushing more and more for it. Honestly I don’t get why they don’t just move to the US. The whole point of being in Mexico was for Hannah to be near family, and now she’s not.

      It was difficult to watch but she was willing to have the conversation which is more than I can say for a lot of people.

      My (white) husband asked why Armando’s mom was doing all that and I was like what do you mean? She’s just being a Mexican mom lol
