Speaker 1 (00:00):
As a child, if you had an inkling about a
family secret and you asked the elders about it, they
lie right to your face. Who's that man living in
the garage? What man? There's a man out here's been
for quite some time. There's no man out there, Yes,
there is. Shut up. What a great time to be
a parent, By the way, could you imagine there was
a time if you just tell your kids to shut up,
(00:22):
right to their face, No long conversations, no explanations, just
shut up. How much easier would that have been? Why
is the sun hot? I don't know. Why don't you
shut up? Even easier to be a father back then,
(00:42):
you aren't even considered one of the parents. You just
had to show up and hit everyone. Once in a while.
My mother would act like we were strangers who just
broke into the TV room. Where the hell did these
kids come from here? My mother would come and leave
your father alone. He works hard, you were just playing. Well,
(01:05):
now you're just shutting up.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
It's the Jewbile show, and parenting is hard. If you
need any proof of that, just observe any parent when
their kids are on summer break and home from school
and they're trying to balance a busy work schedule and
try to figure out how to keep the spawn of
their loins occupied. Yeah, they look like a grizzled war vet.
I think that's what leads to them smoking. And there's
(01:28):
proof that it's hard because there's a lot of parenting
tips out there and experts are warning people not to
do One parenting tip that has gone viral on TikTok,
and it's also spawned people sharing their unpopular parenting opinions.
We'll go over both those things and you'll hear the
audio of that trend right now. One mom has gone
viral on TikTok with a video of how to get
your kid to sleep at night? Your baby to sleep
(01:49):
at night, and experts are saying, do not do this.
Here's the audio.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Way you're trying the better before bead to say if
the house is sleep longer.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Con TikTok, moms have been telling parents to feed their
kid a spoonful of butter, a spoonful of butter and
them sleep.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
Interesting, well, isn't that better than when they were used to? Like,
I don't know, they're giving them alcohol to make them
go sleep.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Oh, my dad to do it to me.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Butter would be worse. Fine, honestly, the butter's probably worse.
Experts are saying, do not do that. It's not harmless.
Too much saturated fat also a choking hazard, and people
who have tried it said that it doesn't even work
at all.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
The bait.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
It's just you're feeding your baby butter.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
What is that like if I slow your heart down,
you'll sleep. Yeah, I guess that's the theory behind that.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
And because of this video going viral, people are sharing
their unpopular parenting opinions on TikTok as well, So we'll
go over those see if you can agree or disagree
with these. Here are some of the top unpopular parenting
opinions from TikTok. Don't praise your kids for small.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Tasks out why not?
Speaker 4 (02:56):
Yeah? Why not?
Speaker 3 (02:58):
Well, because then they'll think all tasks sorry enough?
Speaker 4 (03:03):
I mean, okay, also praise them for big tasks. But
there's nothing wrong with giving constant like feedback produce a
Brad's the only parent in here, right right? Do you
think this is a good thing or a bad thing.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
I think this is a good thing. Do not praise
your kid for small tasks. What's considered a small task?
Speaker 4 (03:18):
I don't know, you kept your room clean or something
that was a.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Huge task as a kid.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Yeah, I see, that's what you got to think how
they think like that's a big deal.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
I would think. I think a lot of times people
give praise for things that they're just supposed to do, right,
and you don't. You're not gonna get praise your whole
life for things you're supposed to do. Pay your taxes,
you don't get. You don't get an ataboy right. So
for this, what I like to do with my daughter
is I try to say, are you proud of yourself? Why?
Fand that it's not backcandid. I want her to come
(03:46):
up with her own praise for herself so she doesn't
have to rely on people later in life to give
her praise.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
That is actually I think that's solid advice, teaching your
kid to be proud of themselves, because a lot of
people don't know that they're proud of themselves until someone
else says it, and then that's seeking outside validation, which
you don't always get.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
And a lot of parents are so selfish they think
their pride's more, they're worth more than their kids pride.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
Right. I don't love that, But at what point do
you teach them though, like that that's the right thing
to do. Isn't little praise supposed to help them understand
that that was the right thing to do, Like, good job,
you cleaned your room. Like then continue with you should
feel proud of yourself. But you don't want to tell
them how they should feel either.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Like so like if I if I say okay to
my daughter, hey clean your room, and then she cleans
her room, she goes, I cleaned my room, Like thanks.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Yeah, I mean, yeah, you're technically the boss.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Your boss isn't gonna go.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
There and gifts.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Unpopular parenting opinion that's being shared on TikTok parents should
not be their children's friends percent until they're until they're
old enough to be your friend, like until they're air eighteen.
Like I think that's a good time to be well,
Like I think it's always dope when I see parents
who are you know, old, and their kids are in
their twenties or whatever and they're actually they actually hang
out in their friends, I think that's awesome. But when
(05:01):
they're kids, like, you do have to have a there
is a power dynamic there. They should be there.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
Yeah, it's like it's very trippy, like very sticky. But
you hear a lot of people, again, I'm not a mother,
so don't come at me. But you hear a lot
of people referring to their little children as they're best friends,
my little estee, my little you know.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Those are lonely empty people. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
I don't know about that. I mean even when they're
so little, like you're giving that mother something that they
didn't have before, and maybe they're too young to realize
that you've always thaw that pressure them.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
This is the little minime? Are they so cute? They
look just like me? It's a bunch of kid though,
it is right though, Like they look like them right right, right,
it's so cute because they look like you exactly.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Yeah, it's weird and selfish.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
It's kind of strange.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Instagram and parents are the worst people in my opinion,
really why their whole thing is about them being a parent. Yeah,
and they're putting their child at risk by putting their face.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
Out everywhere, their experiences at their No, they don't.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
They want like if you want to make it about
the kid teaching the tap dance young and make money
off of it, but make their account you know exactly.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
It's a new stage mom.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
The top unpopular parenting opinions that people are sharing on TikTok.
Time does not always go too fast. The newborn stage
doesn't go by fast enough. Don't kid yourself. We are
all miserable during this stage.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
You miss it though, Yeah, you miss it.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
What do you miss about it?
Speaker 3 (06:27):
It's like it's like anything when you go through something
very difficult. In the moment, it sucks, but when you
look back on it, you just go. You know, you
just have a different it's like perspective, different perspective. If
that wasn't true, nobody would ever have a second kid.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
You're like, at this point, I can do anything because
I've had so much feces on me. Yeah, and I
feel gets yeah, like it doesn't matter. I don't have
a shower for weeks and fine.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
You can actually put your hand in poop. Been there?
Speaker 4 (06:55):
Whatever about dating a single dad is they don't care
about anything gross. It's like whatever, you can't face them.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Another popular unpopular parenting tip that people are sharing on TikTok,
It's okay to negotiate with your kids.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
Oh, I feel like I feel like you do negotiate.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
I encourage I encourage my daughter to negotiate with me.
What so I'll say A, B and C and she
and she now knows what about D? And I still
have the power to say no. But I can appreciate
the skill.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
To say, hey, I used to do that too when
I was a stepdady. Sorry, but there was a butter
lady coming back. I used to do that too when
I was a stepdad.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
Though.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Yeah, I'll be like, this is the deal, and I'm like,
unless you could talk me out of it for it,
you know, And every once in a while, yeah, I'm like,
you got to learn to negotiate in life. You need
to negotiate, right.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
That's pretty impressive, you know.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
But also you need to learn to accept no. So
if you didn't come to me with a good negotiation,
sorry buddy, you're still grounded.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
But why would it be a bad thing then to
teach them how to negotiate.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
No, I'm saying this is wrong. This this unpopular opinion.
It should say good an opinion. Yeah, these numbers are
just scared of being wrong.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
One most unpopular opinion that people sharing on TikTok, kids
not yet in high school don't need to have smartphones.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
I disagree.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Oh you think they do.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
How else are you gonna get them to shut up? Yeah? Exactly,
I mean the yapping, yapping. How are you going to
ever be able to sit at a restaurant in peace?
That part very unpopular.
