Life on mars and liftoff. The worlds most powerful rocket successfully launching into space sparking a new era of other worldly ambitions, a tesla car now orbiting earth on a mission toward mars, so whats next . Good morning, america. The first liftoff of the sundtrack right there. Brandnew era in space exploration. Theres another look. Uhhuh and seeing that tesla with starman, the mannequin, driving into orbit a car. Its a real car and some people dont believe that image but it is a real image. The New York Post has this, car trek. I love it. David kerley was there, lucky man, there to witness the incredible launch of that and he hes joining us from titusville, florida. Good morning, david. Reporter good morning, michael. A new space race is on this morning and elon musk just took a half billion dollar leap ahead of the competition and launched a private company, the biggest rocket in the world successfully with the most unusual cargo weve probably ever seen. He sent his car into space. It is headed to mars at this hour after sending back some spectacular pictures. Three, two, one. Reporter now the biggest rocket in the world spaceys falcon heavy, three rockets strapped together launched a new era of American Space travel. Successful separation. Reporter but this was different. The boosters separated and then flew back to earth landing together reusable. And the falcon has landed. Wow. Reporter the center rocket coming back to earth ran out of fuel and slammed into the ocean. It was lost. A setback for the 90 million test flight which needed some cargo, and rather than concrete, spacexs ceo elon musk who also runs the electric Car Company Tesla decided the payload, the weight at the head of the rocket under the skin would be his electric car, a red roadster. So there it was, a car with a dummy in a space suit exposed to space floating and sending spectacular pictures back of it and the earth with david bowie music playing in the background. Life on mars reporter musk said he thought this launch only had a 50 chance of this spectacular success. What did falcon heavy teach you. Crazy things can come true because i didnt really think this would work. When i see the rocket lift off i see like a thousand things that could not work and its amazing when they do. Reporter so for a few hours before the rocket and this tesla were boosted toward mars and the sun, those amazing pictures, even for musk he found it funny, silly, iconic and wondering if thousands or millions of years from now aliens might discover this strange test cargo. Thinking what the heck what were these guys doing . Did they worship this car . Reporter with the success, musk now has the advantage of sending rockets, satellite, maybe even humans into space. Its billions of dollars of business. Michael, he says he may send another one of these Falcon Heavys up into the space area in a matter of months actually. But, david, where exactly is that tesla roadster and starman right now . Reporter all right, so it circled the earth. We have those spectacular pictures and then last night the final burn, they sent it off headed towards mars. It is going there this morning. It could be out there for millions, a billion years if it actually survives space. Looks like its surviving all right so far. David kerley, thank you so much. The launch was impressed more than us, it impressed bill nye the science guy and tweeted this celebrating the launch with buzz aldrin. Said he walked on the moon, you know. And one person actually compared the tesla image to the iconic moment in the movie e. T. Thats pretty good. The more you see it the more amazed you are by it. Quite a feat, okay. We move on to washington and President Trumps latest threat to shut down the government. Deadline tomorrow at midnight pressuring the democrats on immigration but Congress Making progress on a deal without the president. Our senior White House Correspondent cecilia vega has all the latest. Reporter good morning. We could be looking at yet another Government Shutdown as soon as tomorrow and according to President Trump, thats just fine. Lets have a shutdown. Well do a shutdown. Reporter that declaration from President Trump during a white house meeting on Gang Violence and it wasnt just one quick aside. Without borders we dont have a country. So would i shut it down over this, yes. Reporter the president repeatedly saying if congress cant fix immigration, bring on a shutdown. Id love to see a shutdown if we dont get this stuff taken care of and if we have to shut it down because the democrats dont want safety, then shut it down. Reporter even those in his own party seem stunned. One republican congresswoman offering this smackdown in front of the cameras. We dont need a Government Shutdown on this. We really i think both sides have earn willed that a Government Shutdown was bad. It wasnt good for them and we barbara, we are not getting support from the democrats. I mean, you can say what you want. Were not getting support from the democrats. Reporter but had morning the damage control not just over a possible shutdown. Chief of staff john kellys remark about the president s plan to offer a path to citizenship to nearly 2 million dreamers, more than double the number of people currently protected by daca. Kelly telling reporters on capitol hill. The difference between 690 and 1. 8 million were the people that some would say were too afraid to sign up, others would say were too lazy to get off their asses about you they didnt sign up. Reporter in the face of criticism he did not back down in some of them should have gotten off the couch and signed up. Is that the position of the white house that dreamers are lazy . Who thinks this. The position of the white house is we want to fix a problem that was created by the previous administration. Reporter well, democrats say those comments certainly are not helping negotiations on the immigration front. Republicans also have distanced themselves from what general kelly says. As for this possible Government Shutdown, both parties in the senate say they are close to reaching a deal. The house approved its own measure yesterday, george, if they can amend and merge these two by tomorrow they can avoid the shutdown. They would keep it open for a year, maybe two more years without dealing with the immigration issue. On another front, cecilia, you know, youve now the president read this democratic memo rebutting that republican memo that alleged abuses in the wiretapping of a former trump aide. The president s read it. Its being reviewed in the white house. Theyre likely to release it, right . Reporter they are reviewing it. The white house wont say whether President Trump will release it. If he doesnt after releasing the republican one, the political blowback on this will be fierce for him. If it is released sources it he will me, george, we can expect to see serious reactionness it. Okay, cecilia vega, thanks very much. George, the president making headlines for another reason ordering the pentagon to plan a grand military parade. Similar to the one he saw in france. Our chief Global Affairs correspondent Martha Raddatz has more and, martha, the kind of parade the president has in mind would be pretty unusual, correct . Reporter very, very unusual, robin. The president is talking about tanks rolling down pennsylvania avenue, fighter jets streaking over the capitol, the president s been talking about this since last summer when he saw the bastille day parade in france calling it one of the greatest parades ive ever seen. But that parade has been going on since the late 1800s. It was not something that a modern day president decided to roll out so he could stand and review the troops and its not something the greatest superpower in the world normally feels the need to do. Parades of that magnitude are now more often associated with authoritarian regimes, think russia, think north korea. But President Trump loved that display the military might and the pentagon as you said has now been told to figure out a date this year, robin. Parades of those magnitudes, money. Who is going to pay for it . How much is it going to cost . Reporter oh, a lot of money. It could cost millions and we would pay for it. Our military, by the way, is still deployed around the world. Has been fighting one war after another. There are readiness issue, budget issues and certainly in an era where the military is already greatly respected, more than any other institution in this country and Selfless Service is part of basic training. It is a core military value. I think what they would really like, robin, is a longterm budget. Thats where they want the money to go. All right. Thank you, martha. Lets see if this parade actually happens by the end of the year. We move on to ginger and that major winter storm moving from texas to maine. Take a look at this video weve got coming in from detroit. A live look. Icy roads there. I guess it couldnt come in so well switch to ginger. There it is. Go ahead. Thats detroit this morning. There are so many images like that and so Many American cities but look, stretching from interstate 10 in louisiana, thats strong to severe storms up to almost i90 including ail myra, new york, into the snow. From arkansas, what im most concerned about. The areas with freezing rain and flipped vehicles and through cincinnati area, kentucky, those parts, look at cleveland this morning. The roads, a snowy mess, pittsburgh, same deal so there are a lot of folks impacted by this storm. It is going to move through right here in new york city.

Im waiting for better news. I know. And im wearing pink, pink on the map. It looks better on you. Now to that stock market roller coaster. Investors are still on edge this morning after that recordbreaking plunge on monday but the markets made a comeback on tuesday making up about half the losses, Rebecca Jarvis is here tracking this closely. Good morning, rebecca. Hey, good morning, michael. Yeah, its enough to make you feel whiplash when you look at the market after the sing the biggest point decline on monday stocks swung 500 points lower before clawing their way to close up almost 600 points higher. This volatility brought on by fears of inflation and on firm enough footing for the fed to start hiking Interest Rates faster than expected and talked to a number of veterans and they say the Biggest Surprise here is that we didnt see this volatility sooner, markets have now been on this record run for nine years. Thats unusual, many have been waiting for this breather before the climb, michael and theyre saying, okay, lets wait and see now at this point. Well, have the markets stabilized or should we be ready for more volatility . Most of the experts are predicting more volatility ahead but thought coming out from a point of panic, instead they say the fundamentals of the economy are strengthening. Jobs have now been added in this u. S. Economy for 88 straight months, wages are growing at the fastest pace in eight years and wages, that paycheck, thats what most americans are focusing on, michael. As you said yesterday, when it goes down, be patient, sit, even though its hard and it usually comes back if thats right. Stronger than ever. Stay the course. Exactly. Thank you both. Overseas to a desperate rescue operation underway in taiwan after a magnitude 6. 4 earthquake left at least four people dead, more than 200 injured. Toppling buildings or leaving them leaning dangerously. A sign of hope here as emergency crews search for more survivors. Yeah, thats a difficult situation there. Well get the latest on the deadly flu epidemic. So many dangerous cases inclu including a young girl who caught a strain, recovered then caught a dangerous new one. Linsey has details. Already one of the worst on record. Pediatric deaths plaguing the nation, at least 53 children have already died from flurelated illness and so many others battling the flu. 11yearold Mckenna Jones is fighting for her life after collapsing during a basketball game. She just literally fell over like a tree and it wasnt a crumple. Reporter the sixth grader was rushed to st. Louis Childrens Hospital where she tested positive for influenza b after recovering from another strain of the virus just weeks earlier. One School District in michigan shut down entirely in an effort to combat the virus which has seen more than 140 students kept home. Were trying to clean every area, every piece that a child can touch during the day. Reporter this as hospitalizations soared nationwide. More than 14,000 so far in this flu season which could last until may. Officials remind people its still not too late to get vaccinated. You reduce your chance of getting the flew by about a third so thats, you know, not zero. Reporter many parents still believe that the flu shot will actually give you the flu. The medical community is worried about misconceptions like that and this one from gloria copeland, an adviser on the president s evangelical board. Just keep saying that ill never have the flu. Ill never have the flu. Put words and inoculate yourself with the word of god. The concern, this could derail parents from getting their children the vaccine. Its having some ask her is the illness a lack of faith. Were now in week ten. Typically it lasts 11 to 20 weeks. Thank you, linsey. With the olympics days away top women athletes pledging their brains to Concussion Research and paula faris is here and, paula, there is a real need for more research on women. Yeah, good morning, robin. Cant stress enough just how important this research is. Right now, there are zero cases of cte that have been discovered in female athletes. Now, thats not because its not happening or means women are less susceptible. Its simply because its not being researched. Ahead of the olympic games, three athletes announcing an olympic sized contribution to science. Scores. U. S. Hockey Gold Medalist Angela Ruggiero and bobsledder Elana Meyers Taylor adding their names to the growing list of female athletes donating their brains for cte research. I thought i could potentially be a good role model for other athletes that say i care about future generations, brain, you know, the study of the brain and impact of concussions. Reporter canadian hockey legend Hayley Wickenheiser also signing up tweeting, i wont need it, might as well give to somebody who does. All three donating them to the Concussion Legacy Foundation where just 3 of the brains donated come from women. I saw teammates around me that literally lost their careers or had to retire early prematurely because they had major, major concussions. Reporte whether through sports or military service. Reporter according to a study last year from the American Academy of orthopedic surgeons female High School Soccer players have the highest rate of concussions of any sport. Thats even more than male football players. American soccer greats abby wambach, Megan Rapinoe and Brandi Chastain have already joined in to pledge awareness, its important data for future generations. Women are con cussing at a higher rate and tend to report more symptom, multiple symptom, more severe symptoms and the recovery rates are longer. Women that have had brain injuries feel isolated and left out of the entire conversation. Reporter again, just 3 of the brains donated have been womens. We know as was mentioned in the piece concussions affect women differently than men but we dont know how because of the lack of research and thats why what these women are doing is so crucial, again, you just heard the rate of recovery might be longer for women and might feel more symptoms afterwards so such important research. It really is. Thanks for sharing that, paula. Back to ginger and youre thats right. Chicago in the crosshairs again. A place thats had quite a snow drought.

Not into that. Im not either. But well begin with the mother of Natalee Holloway, suing over that tv series about her daughters disappearance in aruba. Now calling the series fake and saying it was bogus from the start. Abcs linzie janis is here with the story, and her mother beth seeking 35 million. We all remember the extensive News Coverage of her disappearance while on a high school trip and the authorities inability to find her body or bring charges against her suspected killer. 13 years later her mother says a tv series masquerading as a documentary investigation tricked her putting her through weeks of agony. This lead we have on a person who states that he was directly involved in disposing of natalees remains. It was a True Crime Series that grabbed headlines. 12 years and we still have nothing. Reporter 12 years after alabama teen Natalee Holloway went missing on the island of aruba, but this morning, natalees mother beth outraged. He disposed of my daughters body while she was alive. Reporter suing oxygen media and the producers of the disappearance of Natalee Holloway for 35 million calling the show a preplanned farce and a hoax. The primary suspect, joran van der sloot, the son of a judge. Reporter it aired last summer and appeared to follow beths exwife and natalees father Dave Holloway on his quest for and the and included an alleged informant who claimed he held dutch teen jordan van der sloot dispose of natalees body after she allegedly died of a drug overdoes. He was never charged. I can take you to where i got the remains. Reporter twitty who spent years in the public eye looking for her daughter saying in the suit she was tricked into providing her dna to test bone fragments they said might belong to natalee without beth knowing it would be used for a tv show. It came back human. From either natalee or somebody else. Reporter according to the lawsuit producers knew prior to the final episode that those bones could not be matched to natalee despite tipping to hype their series. Twitty accusing the network of delaying the results to maximize their ratings and profit. Adding beth truly believed the show had found natalee but she was forced to wait nearly two months to discover the truth. A spokesperson for oxygen addressed the complaint saying the show followed Dave Holloways search and including a lead he received. The company said it also hoped that lead would provide closure for the family. Van der sloot, robin, is in prison after he was convicted of murdering a young woman in peru in 2010. Lets bring out dan abrams and sunny hostin. This is just, oh, my gosh. I mean, does she have a case here. Well, look, you know, typically this kind of case would come from joran van der sloot saying i was portrayed falsely and im going to sue. She was saying she was effectively tricked. There is an interesting wrinkle in alabama law, something called the tort of outrage and in december of last year, the Alabama Supreme Court expanded it and said there are more situations where you can sue under the tort of outrage and the definition is when something is so extreme in degree as to go beyond all possible bounds of decency and be regarded as atrocious and utterly intolerable in a civilized society. That is the claim. Isnt that where we are . Its basically the claim of intentional infliction of Emotional Distress and shes saying not only did i give my dna, they tricked me into giving it and i didnt even know it was for a Television Series. So what are the other key issues here . I think the dna is really the key issue because if they truly misrepresented the facts and didnt even tell her that the dna was going to be used for a Television Series and, robin, get this, she is watching the Television Series along with everyone else to find out the results. That is truly outside the bounds of decency. If it happened as she laid it out they have a potential it is not an easy case. What could be the possible defense here. I think the defense will be factual and legal. Right . My guess is theyll say there is no valid legal claim here under the law that they can pursue and number two theyll dispute the facts and say, this is not true that we mislead and we tricked and all the things that she alleges in the lawsuit. Well, see, this is what people on the surface there is no one that would disagree its horrible. Sure. But the liable part of it is where its tough and these cases are oftentimes unsuccessful but many of them settle as well because no one wants this fallout but i will say this, in front of a jury, this is a very emotional case. You get me in front of a jury with one mommy on that jury and that mother is going to really i think identify with Natalee Holloways grief and beth holloways grief and the fact she may very well have her anguish. Tricked. The key is getting it past the judge because theyll make a motion to dismiss and theyre going to say this case should be thrown out as a matter of law that theres no valid claim here. If theyre able to survive that first motion this would settle. Id be nervous. This would settle. It wont see the light of date. That becomes the key question. Do they survive that first legal hurdle . All right. Well see what happens. And well see you on the view. Thats right. 11 00. A lot of hot topics to discuss. Dan, thank you. George.

We are back with new concerns about privacy and snapchat after a New Hampshire man was arrested for hacking into the accounts of teenage girls posting their pictures online. Abcs eva pilgrim is here and this is not an isolated case in no, pretty much every social media outlet has been hit. Hackers should make you think twice about what you and your kids have on social media. Even things you mark as private arent so private when a hacker finds his way into your account. This morning, a man behind bars charged with hacking photos from teenage girls snapchat accounts and reposting them on the internet himself. Police say 21yearold michael tsarni swiped them from several teen girls in wyndham, New Hampshire. When the photos they thought would disappear from the app reappeared online, one of the victims went to police. She recognized that the account had been logged into somewhere that she was not. Reporter snapchat allows users to share photos and videotapes that are supposed to disappear in less than ten seconds or you can post content that is automatically deleted after 24 hours. Snapchat is a very secure social media site and it takes somebody really knowing what theyre doing to actually be able to hack into another persons account and take pictures. Reporter this the latest case where a hacker reposted stolen pictures. In september, a 17yearold Washington High School student was arrested after a classmate reported her social media accounts were hacked. The hacker allegedly found nude photos she kept in a private section and shared them with other students. We definitely want to make sure that people like that that are preying on other people via digital means or the internet are arrested. Reporter experts warn think before you post. And make sure your accounts are secure. Make sure your privacy settings are locked down and of course the password, it is a small thing but it can make a big difference between whether or not someone has access to your account or not. Reporter and police are not saying how he allegedly got into the snapchat accounts or what type of photos were stolen and while he is facing charges that cannot undo the pictures that have been seen on the internet. We have reached out to snapchat. They would not comment on the case. When you look at this we have seen so many cases like this. You have to assume if you post a picture on the internet it can get out. We tell kids that. We tell each other that as adults and you still see grownups and kids taking pictures on their phones and posting them even privately. Anything that is on your phone, anything on social media did at risk. Just dont do it. Real secure passwords can help a bit. He can help a little bit but you have to remember anything you send to somebody you risk them taking a picture with another phone or snapping a picture on that phone there so its all a risk any time you send a picture like that.

Ha ha ha, yay kids back now with what police are calling a double whammy for new England Patriots star Rob Gronkowski. First losing the super bowl then when he got home, discovering his house was robbed. T. J. Holmes is here and, t. J. , gronk is not the first celebrity who has been targeted while out of town. We can all relate to this, right . People go out of town. What do we often do, turn on a couple of lights. Well, its hard to fool people when you just caught two touchdowns in front of a hundred Million People but there is a lesson in this story for all of us. 911, where is your emergency. Its not an emergency. This is Rob Gronkowski calling and while i was gone my whole house got robbed while on the super bowl trip and i just got back. Reporter the losses keep piling up for patriots star Rob Gronkowski this week. He returned home from his teams crushing super bowl defeat in minneapolis to find that his boston area home had been robbed. Police believe someone got in through a broken window and got away with plenty. While he was away on his trip his house was broken in, multiple safes, possible guns taken. Reporter but unclear how many of the stolen property actually belongs to gronk. His roommates had also been away in minneapolis and according to the police report, gronks bedroom door was still locked but his roommates doors have been breached. Even the police chief acknowledged a double whammy for the patriots star. Its a tough combination to have suffered this unfortunate loss and then to get home and be a convict of this kind of crime. Reporter stars like hilary duff have been targeted before when they were traveling after posting pictures on their location on social media. Last summer duff was posting these of her canadian vacation and her home was robbed. The criminals are using the internet and social media to target their victims to commit crimes such as burglaries. Reporter in november, Los Angeles Dodgers right fielder yasiel puigs home was robbed while battling the Houston Astros in the world series and eight months earlier half a Million Dollars worth of watches and jewelry were stolen.

Highways better off than the secondary roads as you might expect. Problems on the highways the ramp from the blue route southbound to i95 southbound. We have an accident involving a tractortrailer. Traffic is kind of squeezing by that ramp. Lets switch over to the schuylkill expressway here and look live at the blue route and we see that westbound traffic heading towards king of prussia, some snow on the grass and on the sides of the roads. The main road itself on the schuylkill looks mostly wet but you need to expect it to be slick in some spots. And certainly traffic a little bit slower especially eastbound n Kennett Square Chester County we have an accident here involving a pickup truck just smashed into a guardrail. So really jammed on route one northbound oxford bypass here going about 7 miles an hour and an accident blocking two lanes, our third accident on the boulevard. This one southbound at tyson avenue, matt. Thank you, karen. Taking a live look at Center City Philadelphia and the ben franklin bridge. Rain coming down. Something different in other spots.

The internet is good for things but lets talk about the storm and cleveland, ohio, this morning, snow covered roads and we are really talking about a messy morning commute. Not just from here in cleveland, but pittsburgh this morning has gone from snow to freezing rain and look at the trucks there flipped in springdale, arkansas, so its a large area thats impacted by this storm and we see the radar right now. The southern end of it has strong to severe storm, a Tornado Warning west of i75 at this point. A lot of spots will start as snow and go to freezing rain then transition to all rain and storms and that will happen along i95 later this afternoon and evening and what it leaves behind interior new england 6 to 12 inches and ice on top of the pockets where you see the pink there. Washington in the middle of all that. We there right now. Government set to run out of money tomorrow night and the president getting pushback even from his own party and cecilia vega is at the white house. Reporter good morning to you. Pretty stunning comments from the president and they came during a white house meeting here on Gang Violence. The president said if congress cant reach a deal on immigration, he would love to see a shutdown. Take a listen. Id love to see a shutdown if we dont get this stuff taken care of and if we have to shut it down because the democrats dont want safety, then shut it down. Reporter now that is the point he made time and time again and the as you said even members of his own party seemed stunned and a republican congresswoman called out the president for this call for a shutdown saying no one benefited from a shutdown the last time around. Now, this time around on the hill both parties in the senate at least seem like they are close to reaching a deal. After the president s chepts, george, the white house really was forced to play cleanup and say he is not advocating for a shutdown but that clock is ticking. Right, but the national does hope to announce an agreement today. Cecilia, thanks very much. Michael. Thank you, george.

It is the biggest rocket in the world and this morning, the red tesla roadster that was on the end of it is on its way to mars. Overnight the last firing of the second stage sending it to mars. Now, this was a test flight and the reason this red tesla with the mannequin in the space suit which looks like its floating in space all by itself actually still attached to the second stage rocket, the reason its there is because in a test flight you need to simulate what cargo would be so elon musk and tesla decided to put his roadster there, play a little david bowie music and send it off toward mars. Its actually now not transmitting any more pictures but the ones we saw were spectacular of the earth in the background with that music. The soundtrack was pretty amazing, michael. It now is basically not a dead satellite going toward mars but its really not transmitting anything back. They just aimed it toward there. Its on its own not accepting backdate that. Thank you, david. Okay. Tesla to mars. How types have changed. I remember as a child when there was a launch that we would get out of class and they would roll this big tv in the hall and stop and watch it. Thats what people were doing, a little different.

Thank you, thank you, eva. We turn to our powerful series taking you inside the secret groups on facebook this morning. This morning were looking at one thats thousands of mothers to discuss difficulties of parenting and advice 24 hours a day. Paula faris is back with that. What do you mean, parenthood is so easy, isnt it . No, being a parent involves so many complicated emotions and situations on top of that, we are under a microscope. Scrutinized more than ever now that we have social media. Which is where this private Facebook Group comes in to provide help and a few laughs. Hi, im a mom. To a 3yearold boy. Im brittany and im a mom to one beautiful 22monthold. I am a mother of two boys. Reporter they say its takes a village to raise a child. Ive gotten so much great advice on what strollers to get, the newest swaddle thats out there. Reporter whats the best diaper cream to keep on hand . What do you really need in your hospital bag . Reporter and in the secret facebook book mommy2mommy a village of nearly 36,000 women are coming together. We are focused on making sure its a safe place where people dont feel judged or shamed for having a different kind of philosophy. Reporter the secret group was started in 2011 by a california mom, amy her memes a to join you must be invited by a current member. People would ask like whats the best sippy cup to buy. What do you think about cloth diapers versus store bought diapers and then very quickly people started to form this amazing bond of trust and people started to have deeper conversations. Reporter moms flocked to the group 24 hours a day for advice on the best car seats, pediatricians, sleep training and so much more. My son had heart surgery at 10 months and it was a Great Community of just people passing me some more information. Mommy2mommy was a group that was created by a mother herself who wanted to find other mothers she could connect with to ask these kinds of questions, both specific advice and tips and general support and information. Reporter members also share their fears over a growing problem, the pressure to be perfect moms. Im so tired of trying to be this perfect mom. Done. Reporter the bad mom phenomenon is played for laughs in the movie. Lets be bad moms. Oh, im in. Right . Oh, my gosh. Okay. This is exciting. Im in. Reporter but those feelings are often much more complicated for those posting in the group. I feel the worst when i just pop a pizza in the oven and not provide the more healthy options. I could not feed her and she would not latch and i was in tear, thought i was failing this little baby and i posted it and i was very raw and very real and these moms turned around and said i was not a bad mom and i shouldnt be guilty. Reporter for mommy2mommy member Annabelle Raymond that rough day led her to post this in the group. Having a guilty bad mommy moment, after two hours of nonstop whining i hit the roof and started yelling. Went into my bedroom and screamed into a pillow. Reporter years later annabelle recalls the support her online village sent her way. I was feeling particularly raw and vulnerable and just felt like i needed some people to relate. Reporter and says one message really stood out. I wrote youre obviously doing a great job if they would write this note for you. Youre human. With that comes all of the emotions. In that i needed another mother remiepzing me of how important it is to allow yourself to be human. Make mistakes, and then correct from them. Thanks to mommy2mommy, you have made being a mommy just a little bit easier. It absolutely does take a village. And, paula, i love this series. This is really great because you see the mother said we started posting about the best baby bottles, best strollers but then became deeper. Why is it so important to have this community. We cant do it alone, it takes a village. Surround yourself with friends, family, i know we dont have any family in the area so we rely on our Church Family but a funny story. When i was pregnant with my first, i went into a big box baby retailer to register for the baby registry, i was so overwhelmed im supposed to do what with that. I had no idea what kind of bottles and nipples. This online community, women to women 24 hours a day and i just joined by the way ill hit you up with some questions. You know, one of the things as a parent you question yourself so much and mothers feel like they could be scrutinized. You saw so many say, oh, man, im a bad mother. Im a bad mother. How important is it to be able to go online, have a community where you can talk and not feel like you have to be perfect. I think it all starts with us, it starts with you personally. You have to keep it real. You have to embrace your flaws. You have to embrace your craziness especially when posting on social media. Im going to show you a couple of photos i post. You have to post your perfect imperfections . That looks perfect to me. I was trying to do downward dog and my boys being crazy. Important to teach your kids its not about perfection. We have to extend the same grace to ourselves and children that we extend to others. I like it. Roughhousing and your daughter is reading a book. Does that describe the difference between genders right there. But this is really a great series and community for people to know these communities are out there to help them. I think its really important. Thank you for bringing that. Well go see bad moms together. Great movie by the way. Tomorrow well look at a Facebook Group for families dealing with addiction providing support for so many and now i got to say i feel like ive been a good mom if i pop that in the morning. Your gma moment. How about we go to houston for this one. Harley the cat will not allow his owner to go to the bathroom without doing this. Reaches under the door and must every time. You can hear the owner laughing there. I thought that was so cute and it was so funny. That little paw coming under there. Yes. How are you supposed to enjoy your time. All right. Please post your gma moment on my Facebook Page and until then lets get a check a little closer to home. Cats are really interested in bathrooms all the time. I dont know what that is.

Meatballs. Anything with ground meat basically you could do. So but i found out once i had kids its hard to come up with well, if youre only doing dinner five meals a day. That theyll eat. Or seven meals a week so that theyll eat. My kids favorite thing was when i would run out of ideas, what can i do for dinner . Id be like were having breakfast for dinner, like it was a big thing. Yes. You play the family matriarch on the middle. Your kid is known for takeout. Just takeout. Yeah, what is your style at home . Are you like that. I have been known to do takeout. But today its very health you can get healthy takeout so thats my excuse but i also work 12 hours a die. We go in at 6 in the morning and get home at 6 at night. Its a little difficult but very important for everybody when they were little to sit down together at dinner when we were on raymond so the hours werent so long and did that then we would make sunday meals when i couldnt be cooking during the week, sunday meals would be the big thing but im a little like frankie in that i would say forgetful and especially with birthdays, my kid like i will just be going along and someone will tweet me, tell your son, dan, happy birthday and ill go, its dans birthday. You guys have had such a great run. I know. Nine years. [ applause ] youve done it again. How did i came to l. A. , no agent, no manager, no car and one commercial on a reel. I cannot believe im sitting here after nine years again, another nine years so its pretty crazy. True talent. Well, its all about the writing, i have to say shoutout to the writers. Cooking talent. You know what, were going to go cook. [ applause ] come over here. Come on over. Okay. Great. [ applause ] so ill bet any one of you could cook this right now because i bet you all have these ingredients at home. You have a little onion, garlic which you just saute and a Little Olive Oil then you just take a can of crushed tomatoes and probably have all some kind of to mate to product, right . You might not have pickled jalapenos but if you do, throw them in there and toss that altogether. Smells so good. Give it 20 minutes and let it thicken up. Everybody has leftover chicken or an old half of a Roast Chicken so put that in there. In my refrigerator right now. Dont know what to do with it. You throw it in there and sad cilantro, stir that up and let it heat up. People are very busy and want to make dishes that are fast but good. The tough in my book for the most part is pretty easy with ingredients you are already have. Or you can take shortcuts. If you can buy premade dough, you dont have to really big on that. Making it easy for you. So then you just let that heat up. You take your bowl of chips, we all have that leftover from the super bowl, right . Oh. So just throw this ontop and then you have a little case coe fresco here i like to use. Right . A little extra cilantro. Good for leftovers. Really good for leftovers. You squeeze your lime on it there. There you go. Put the lime on the put the lime on the chilaquiles. See how pretty it is there. So easy. So you ran through that you must kind of be a professional at this or something. Right. But the middle. Yeah. Last season, this is your second big, big run on show. What are you going to do next. No show but im an empty nester so no kids and no show which did a little bit shocking, right . Is it good. Michael and i will just talk. So what are you going to do now . No kids, no show . I dont have anything lined up so if youll keep that chair for me over there, just ignore me. Ill just be sitting there e eating and listening. You watched your own children grow up and see your tv children grow up as well. Crazy. I forget how little those kids were. I know. Now they all own homes, you know. I mean like by the way i didnt own a home till i was like 32. Im like theyre 18 and i just bought a house, okay. But, no, theyre great and they were the best normally i dont like working with children but i have a been doing it now for 20 years. We just happen to have the best kids ever on the middle and on raymond, the wonderful not hollywood kind of kids. Really well adjusted. Wow. You know, you dont like to work with children. So you cant have that chair because youd be working with children every morning with us. Thank you very much. I would love to finish eating this but im going to do this.

Its so hard to do this next toss after eating so much, the swimsuit issue because i feel but we do have a 13450ek peek of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue. Always one of the most popular editions of the year. Its out next week and nightlines juju chang has your first look. Reporter from Christie Brinkley to tyra banks, kate upton to ashley graham. I am so shaky. Reporter the Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition frequently catapults models to superst superst superstardom. It aims to empower women everywhere. The women that are part of this issue, theyre more than just a beautiful base. Theyre Beautiful People and buhl mights. Reporter were getting a sneak peek at new images in her own words out next week from the veteran paulina porzingis skoef virginia to sailor Brinkley Cook and the 62 robin lolly, artful nudes shot by an all female crew. M. J. Day has been putting the issue together for decades. You have taken it in a purposeful direction. What does it mean to you philosophically now. A mixture of what weve always been which is celebrating beauty but also a platform that gives women the confidence to love themselves as they are. Its ridiculous that theres only one type of pretty or that people see one specific body type as that enviable body type. Reporter hoping Sports Illustrated swimsuits help propel that body positivity forward. Who draws the line . I dont have a problem with someone saying its oversexual lyzed. Thats normal but i think human nature doesnt lend itself to one way or the other but what it should lend to is acceptance. For good morning america, juju chang, abc news, new york. [ applause ] Sports Illustrated will release the brandnew cover on their website february 13th and that morning the cover model is going to be right here live only on gma. Ginger. Spoiler alert.

Dont be a lastminute person but you know what goes with flowers, candy and a romantic movie. Perhaps this one. The upcoming blockbuster. Fifty shades freed, i like saying it that way. Fifty shades freed, jamie dornan, dakota johnson, theyre back. Its their last time and telling all right here only on gma. Good morning, wife. The final sexy steamy chapter of Anastasia Steele and Christian Greys love story. Fifty shades freed. You may call me mrs. Grey. We caught up with the movie stars in the city of lights where they shot their characters honeymoon scenes. At the end of the shoot with a week in paris and week in it was a bit of a holiday. Not everything in the movie was quite as easy. Were being followed. These driving scenes, for instance. Shes a maniac driver. Hes a really good driver and but the first couple of types we did that and you sped off and theyre like, dakota, can you keep it at 50 and got to 120 in four seconds. I grew up around a lot of dudes and a lot of like motorcycles and cars and i like them. Turn around. Reporter also hard work getting camera ready for those famed risque scenes. Were going to the playroom. So annoying. He truly eats whatever he wants. He just will like jump around for 15 minutes and then like eat a roll of bread stuffed with like cheese and potato chips and then like six candy bars and then take off his shirt. And its rude. Reporter while the fifty shades films are known for their romance they admit in real life they may not measure up to their cash there is because im married i feel like its as romantic a gesture as you can do is get married. Like you do nice things. I do lovely things but maybe i said nice. He said lovely. I upgraded. Reporter three films later now at the end of the journey dakota says theyre about a lot more than sex. Well, i think the message truly is about being true to yourself and honoring yourself with grace and vulnerability and still being able to be powerful and say what you want and what you need but respect yourself in the process . So you want to play. Yes, sir. Fifty shades freed hits theaters this friday. Well have much more on a special 20 20 on tuesday night. Up next a love story thats a little bit like a modern when harry met sally. Its all about the love here on gma. [ applause ] so valentines day, of course, a week away, love is in the air and we have people lining up in times square for telefloras photo booth on wheels ready to declare their love. First we have a story that has all the makings of a blockbuster romcom an unsuspecting woman and a man with a secret crush willing to put it on the line for love. Amanda stauffer and jason park met on the first day of college 5 at yale and became 9 closest of friends but jason wanted more. Amanda was the girl that i always called when i was in another relationship and was trying to figure out, you know, whats going on here. Reporter for amanda she never thought of jason as anything more than a friend. I didnt. I always i did. Unaware of jasons feelings she went on countless dates and is now the author of match made in manhattan. Its a novel chronicling her dating experience. Seeing that amanda was single and dating i thought probably dont have that much time to get my act in order. Reporter one night jason took a risk. I think more or less out of the blue i turned to you and said, so i wouldnt be saying this if i didnt think you were the girl i was going to marry but ive loved you since the day i met you and i think we should start dating. Reporter jasons statement to a scene in when harry met sally. Ive been doing a lot of thinking and the thing is i love you. What . I love you. How do you expect me to respond to this . I panicked when someone blurts out they love you and you never kissed them or anything. Its strange and so i told him i needed it time to think about it. Reporter two weeks later they went on their first date and in 2012 they were married and now have a little girl genevieve. You silly goose. I think if i hadnt told you i would have always regretted not saying something. Obviously im glad he told me. Jasons advice for those who may be stuck in the friend zone state your case. I mean whats really the worst that can happen . Just state it very plainly, boldly. Be bold. State your case. Thats great advice and you were saying, amanda, yeah, just like meg ryans reaction. It was pretty surprising. I have to imagine friendship was a great Building Block for a lifelong relationship. Yeah, so like the character named after him in the book, real life jason was sort of an integral part of my dating journey so he was there for all the heady highs and the lowlows, the heartache and heartbreak and as a result when we started dating each other we were just really good at anticipating how the other person would act and react in a romantic situation and kind of you didnt need to. No, and it was just like sort of a natural builtin support system for each other. Thats beautiful. Calm and icy. Thats so great. Very inspiring and you know what, you arent the only ones who want to declare their love for the world to see. Outside our window people are lining up, have their picture taken in telefloras photo booth to share their love outloud.
