Things apparently have changed a lot since Season 1. So much so, that Mimi is now living with Stevie J, while Joseline still has a key!

But I digress…

Love & Hip Hop Atlanta has somewhat of a ‘kindler… gentler’ feel to it this season, and I predict that we may actually learn a few life lesson from the ratchet cast of characters.

Check out the 5 life lessons revealed in episode 1 of Love & Hip Hop Atlanta (season 2):

Life Lesson #1: When you choose a baby daddy/baby mama choose carefully because one a kid is involved, there’s no turning back!

We thought Mimi was trying to move on from Stevie J, but it appears moving on consists of MOVING IN.

The episode starts with the couple sharing in bed with their young daughter, while Mimi recounts how Joseline had walked in on then the previous evening. Did you peep Mimi?s impression of Joseline? Hilarious!

Stevie reassures Mimi that he?s going to check Joseline about the encounter and also promises to make sure Joseline isn?t around their daughter.? Mimi suggests that she’s going to move in with Stevie J to ensure he keeps his word.

Moving on will have to wait.

Life Lesson #2:? Never talk about sleeping with your lover’s ex on a local radio station.

Unless your name is Stevie J, Mimi or Joseline, it may be best to keep your threesomes to yourself… or at least keep them off of the local radio station.

Arianne swears theres no beef between she and ‘whasserface’ but things between the two seem a bit sketchy.? At a celebration planned in honor of Erica’s engagement to Lil Scrappy, to two discuss what’s really boiling between the two of them.

Whasserface admits to Ariane that. ?…to hear you were commenting on my life, was not appropriate,? she said. ?You hurt me?when I love I love HARD! I forgave you once but it won?t be a twice.?

[Sidebar: Whasserface’s proclamation may have went over a few heads, but some have speculated that these two are more than ‘just friends’.]

Ariane emotionally states that she wasn?t trying to hurt Whasserface and the two eventually make up and share a kiss on the lips.

Life lesson #3: Always make sure the mother of the man you love, loves you.

This life lesson can be hit or miss… but if ma’dukes is on your team, who can be against you?

Shay ‘Buckeey’ Johnson may have gotten her feelings hurt when Scrappy proposed to Erica during the reunion show last season, but Momma Dee wants her to ‘steer the course’.? Erica Dixon is certainly NOT a Momma Dee’s choice of mate for her ‘Prince,’ and she’s on a mission to get Shay to that number 1 spot.

Momma Dee fills Shay with hope when she states that Erica and Scrappy’s relationship ?is not the wish of the Queen.?

?Just watch out. Change is a?coming!? Momma Dee eerily states, insinuating that she won?t stop until Shay is back in Scrappy?s arms.

Life Lesson #4: Always double check the value of the diamond!

Erica Dixon and her mom, Mignon, head to the local pawn show jewelry story to have her diamond appraised.? During the outing Erica?s mom reveals that she’s still not completely convinced that Scrappy is ready to commit. I?m content. I?ll be happy after the marriage,? Erica’s mom states.

Erica attempts to ease her Mom’s doubts by showing her that the ring appraised for $21,000.

?Love those numbers,? mom said, as if the value of the ring means that Scrappy’s in for the long haul. *sigh*

Life Lesson #5: If you’re a ‘maid’… do what you do best.? Clean house!

Did you catch all the shade that was being thrown in that final confrontation between Mimi, Stevie J and JoJoDancer?

Joseline walks in to Stevie J’s home unannounced, and greets Mimi as the maid!

?Hey, maid. I see you got on yo? maid outfit like you always do,? Joseline says.? The “maid” comment set Mimi on fire and all hell broke loose! Mimi kicks Joseline out but Stevie J follows her outside.? Joseline leaves, but not without one last jab at Mimi. ?She need to come clean my condo. That?s what she need to do.? Ouch!

Stevie J. doesn’t leave with Joe, opting to play “Molly the maid’ himself and clean up the “mess” that Joseline made.? Mimi is fired up in the bathroom and begins her B-word filled rant. ?This b*tch want to call me a maid and everything else and you not gon? say s??? Things got so heated that the producers had to break things up!

Stevie J’s cavalier attitude about the situation gets him a bite on the cheek as things get violent between the two.? Stevie can be heard during the close of the scene, stating? ?Clean up my room Molly maid.?
