I’ll be able to handle it.Candace: I just think you should be at home raising your child instead of out here waving some pom-poms around.Walesia: I’m capable of managing a child and cheerleading. It’s not going to be that hard.Candace: Look she’s already missing her dad, so you’re going to neglect her too???Walesia: I believe that my child’s needs are my business, not yours.
