(00:41):
say tell me. These are the radio blogs on the
Fred Show Life for running in our diaries, except we
say them aloud. We call them blogs. Ki ki yo go.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
All right, dear blog you know, parents, I just want
to extend my gratitude, appreciation and sympathy for you, because
what I've learned is having children is a constant life
of negotiation with a child, Like my nephew is this.
He is a negotiator, And I'm like, how does this

(01:13):
work as a parent, because for me, there's no I'm not.

Speaker 1 (01:16):
Negotiating with you. It is like either you're gonna do
it or you're not.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
And so I get this text yesterday and he does
this often whenever he wants something. He goes, hey, auntie,
if my grades are good, can I have X, Y,
and Z. And I get stuck on the part of
if my grades are like, that is your responsibility in life?

Speaker 1 (01:36):
Like that's not really a choice, Like you don't have
the choice to get bad.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
Grades, right, And I'm like, what has made you think
that you can negotiate doing your responsibility in life? Like,
this is not how this works. No, you deliver good
grades and then I decide if I want to reward
you for that. It's not a if you do, then
I do. And he loves to negotiate. And I've seen
other parents do this, even with the like if you

(02:01):
be good in this store, I'll get you a toy.
If you behave that this doctor's appointment, we'll go. And
my parents did it too, We'll go get McDonald's. We'll
go get like.

Speaker 1 (02:11):
What I want to know, By the way, how how
do you find yourself negotiating with your kid? If this
resonates with you, five three five, because we have some time,
I'd love to hear this. Yeah, no, I think you're right. Yeah,
Like I don't why aren't we doing this?

Speaker 2 (02:23):
And probably I don't know if you've come to this
point with Gigi it, but like do you have to
negotiate with her or make a promise?

Speaker 3 (02:29):
Like so she's what one and a half almost like
we're not really very yet because she can't really respond
to me or give me her demands.

Speaker 1 (02:36):
Although she kind of does. Well, she can tell you
no right. Oh. She loves the word no, like it's
her favorite ord in the world.

Speaker 3 (02:42):
But I have to either redirect with her or like
negotiate something different. If it's like bedtime, we're gonna take
away the toy or turn the TV off. If there's
a meltdown that comes with it, I gotta be like, Okay,
I'm gonna give you your pacifier, you know. So it's like
I'm negotiating to I guess, and it's not the greatest
thing because I feel like she should just do as
I said because I'm her mother and preparents, but I'm

(03:02):
scared when she gets older, it's gonna be a lot
of like, you know, if I do this, can I
do that?

Speaker 2 (03:05):
It's like no, no, if I clean my room, My
mother did this to me. She was I wanted a
fingernail extensions at like you know eight.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
She was shocking. I know she already had a wig, right,
So it was when.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
I lasts and makeup. But no, she goes, if you
clean out your room and clean your closet top to bottom,
you can go get your nails done. She promised me
that when I tell you guys, I clean that that
room from top to bottom. And she thought, because she
this is all happening on a Sunday, that the nail
salon was closed. So that was her plan. And she's like, Okay,
I'm cleaning up and then I'm gonna tell her the nail.

Speaker 1 (03:41):
Salon was open.

Speaker 2 (03:42):
And so yeah, she did not keep her part of
the negotiation, and I had a complete meltdown. So it's
like we got to stop this negotiation thing, like just
do what you're supposed to do.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
Yeah, the text one thousand percent parenting. It's all about
bribing your kids and then someone else texts it. That's
what doctors tell us to do if THEND statements. Yeah, can't.

Speaker 3 (03:59):
Oh, I was just gonna ask Paulina, don't you ask
gg sometimes?

Speaker 1 (04:02):
Like do you want to go with me here? Even
though like there's no option?

Speaker 2 (04:07):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (04:07):
Yeah, I'm like, do you want to want to target?

Speaker 4 (04:09):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (04:10):
Surely know where the hell target is?

Speaker 3 (04:12):
She'll say no, You're like, well you're still going right,
Like we're done too, just like.

Speaker 1 (04:16):
Yeah, do you want to go here?

Speaker 4 (04:17):
No?

Speaker 5 (04:18):
But the thing is I'm.

Speaker 3 (04:18):
Trying to also test her to see do you even
know what I'm saying? Like do you know what's target is?
Because I'm curious. I'm curious if she's like getting what
I'm putting down here, Like do you know where we're going?

Speaker 1 (04:29):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (04:30):
I know.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
My parents were always super generous, but there were there
were times when they would negotiate with me. I mean
the school, I was expected that was my job. They
always just say that growing up, like that's you. My
job is to go to work and make money to
pay for the food and the house and stuff. Your
job just go to school and I and then I
remember my dad used to say, I wish that were
my I wish my job. We're going to school every day.

(04:51):
I feel and I'm like, you're you're a moron, dad.
I never said that to a face, but I thought that.
But now I wish my job were to go to school.
If somebody would pay any when I make to do this,
to go to school every day and just learn and
just get all these degrees, I would do it if
that were my job. And he used to say that
someday you're gonna wish, and I'm like, you're an idiot
in my head. Never do his face because he'd slap

(05:11):
me cross face. But uh, but they but but I
was afraid of the doctor, right. I had meningiitis when
I was a little kid, and I was in the
hospital for three or four weeks, and I hated it.
Of you know, three I'm conditioned. I hate the doctor.
So they would bribe me to go to the doctor,
like if you go to the doctor and get your shot,
we'll go to the toy store or something like the
traumatic things or like really high level things that were complicated.

(05:33):
You know, my parents got divorced. Here here's a hamster,
you know, here's here's guilt. Gifts, you know what I mean, Like, oh,
you wanted the new video game, Fine, you can have
it because you're you know, your father's a jackass or
whatever it is. But but no, and then and then
there was an allowance situation where it was like you, you know,
you have to the famous mowing the lawn thing that
apparently never happened in my house, but it did. It
was hey, But but that was more of like a

(05:54):
spending responsibility thing. That was more like, here's a couple
easy things that you have to do. We'll give the
money for it, and then you can spend the money
now or you can save it up and spend it
on something. But that was I think more about budgeting.
I think that was less about bribing me to do
stuff because they were overpaying me for the crappy work
I was doing and I'm a sucker.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
So every time we negotiate, he actually gets it, but
it's just like why are we doing this?

Speaker 1 (06:16):
Well, that's the problem is it's learned behavior, right, so
like you do it, you do it for him once
and then every semester it's going to be good grades
in this. But then you have to ask yourself, like, Okay,
you shouldn't have to do that, But is the investment
worth the result? Like what is he asking for? Now?
You're you've got some bougie as, these nephews, brothers, so

(06:37):
they're asking for Gucci and Prada. But you know, if
the guy wants a video game for a semester worth
of a's like that sounds like a pretty good deal.
That's the motivator. But if he wants you know, Gucci
slides because he went to a pe class, then it's like no, no, Brittany,
hi Hi. So you think this is a good idea
or a bad idea. You're a teacher and and this
negotiating stuff with kids, right.

Speaker 4 (07:00):
I wouldn't call it so much negotiating, but it's more
of like, if you do this, then this will happen.
So I teach it in my classroom as like executive
functioning skills. And some kids, you know, especially as a
really young age I'm fifth grade, they they don't know
what's going to happen next.

Speaker 1 (07:20):
So like if I don't know at home, like if.

Speaker 4 (07:24):
You do your homework, then you can stay up for
five more minutes, but not every day, or then you
get your TV time.

Speaker 1 (07:33):
Okay, okay, so so it is it is kind of negotiating,
but it doesn't have necessarily be material material related, like
you don't have to buy them things, pay them money,
right right, Like how you guys are saying, like, so
it's about choice choices because my sister's big on a therapist. God,
God saved my nieces. You know, everything is a and

(07:55):
you know this because you're the you're the daughter of
a therapist. Came but it's like everything is you can
choose to do this or you can choose to do that.
And she says it like that too, and then Paul,
you look at her and be okay, you know, but
like you're choosing this, you're choosing this path, Polly, that's
valuable information. Though I don't know it just sound like
I'm on the couch. We make choices every day. But Brittany,

(08:18):
it's kind of the same thing, right, you're sort of
laying out like here's here's one path and here's the other.
What are you gonna do?

Speaker 4 (08:25):
Right?

Speaker 1 (08:26):
Because kids like that choice too.

Speaker 4 (08:27):
They like like quote unquote being in charge, although you're
kind of like limiting act.

Speaker 1 (08:31):
Yeah, I got it, Thank you, Brittany, have a good day. Thanks.
I was negotiating with my trainer yesterday on the Lakefront.

to run as far? And he said, shut the hell
