Speaker 1 (00:00):
Order eppy Thanksgiving to me. I know those other courtrooms
are closed for the holiday, but Key Keith's quard is open.
So let's get into this case about friends Giving. Oh
my god, it's from Maya. She says, Hey, ki Key,
I host friends Giving every single year. It's usually adults only,

(00:21):
a chill vibe with wine, games, music, and we all
get to relax without responsibilities. Well, this year, when I
sent out invites, I made it very clear, no kids,
this is an adult only night. Please respect this. Everyone
responded and said of course. So friends Giving day comes
and first my friend Amy pulls up with her two toddlers.

(00:43):
And I'm not talking about the little baby kind. I'm
talking about the tantrum throwing, food throwing toddlers. I was pissed.
I thought maybe she misunderstood, until I saw my friend
Chris and his wife show up with their seven year old.
Then another couple arrived with their new born an't in
a stroller. Apparently my friends decided that they were just
gonna ignore my rule about not having kids. So I

(01:07):
tried to chill and just let the day play out.
So at this point I got babies crying, toddler's touching, everything.
Somebody was even coloring on my white wall with a crayon.
So I gently pulled my friend Leela aside and said, hey,
I was serious about the no kids rule. This isn't
safe or relaxing for anyone. She looked at me and said, well,

(01:28):
you need to accept that we are all parents now,
and just because you don't have kids, you need to
make adjustments. This is what adulthood looks like. Ooh okay.
I took a deep breath, and the kids kept running around,
screaming and grabbing everything. I got fed up when one
of the kids grabbed my dog. I stood up and said, okay,

(01:48):
I love you all, but friends Giving is over. Please
pack up and we'll have to reschedule some other time.
Everybody acts shocked. Everybody seemed offended, and I haven't heard
from any of them since this was over a week ago.
Am I wrong for shutting down friends Giving mid dinner
because people brought their kids and I said no kids

(02:08):
were allowed. Am I wrong? Will Chaw? Okay, first things first,
you are not wrong. I will say that because you
made your rule very clear from the beginning, and they
did not respect your boundaries or respect your home. So
no you're not wrong for shutting it down when you
felt like it had gotten completely out of hand. However,
if it was me, I would have just suffered through

(02:31):
it and then never hosted friends giving for this group
of friends ever again, especially the friend who came and
told you, you know, this is what adulthood looks like.
And just because you don't have kids, like, no, you
clearly are not disciplining your kids or teaching them how
to behave in someone else's home, because why are they
coloring on the walls? Why are they grabbing my dog? Like?
Come on, man, like you know, I don't think you're

(02:54):
wrong at all for shutting it down. If it were me,
I would have suffered through it and tried to get
through the because I do love kids, and I do
love having kids around, especially when I know that they
can go home okay, But I don't like having my
house destroyed. And I totally feel you on that. You know,
had they said that they couldn't find babysitters, maybe you

(03:14):
would have hosted it somewhere else. You could have rented
out the clubhouse in your neighborhood, or you could have
rented out of venue instead of having it happen in
your home. So they did not give you that option
because they did not tell you that they were going
to bring their children. So once it got out of hand,
you had every right to shut it down and kick
everybody out of your home. I don't think you're wrong.

(03:34):
I actually think that. You know, if someone gives you
an invitation and it says no children, you either respect
that and show up and get a babysitter, or you
respectfully decline the invite and say, hey, I don't have
anyone to watch my children. But to just show up
and bring your kids to someone's home and then let
them run wild, it's insane. So no, you're not wrong. Friend,

(03:55):
you stood your ground, and I you know, I hate that.
I hate this for you. I hate that you have
friends who would disrespect your boundaries like this. So let
me know though, what you think about it. You are
the jury, because again I'm speaking as a woman who
does not have children, yet I do have a lot
of nephews and you know, family members that visit me,

(04:18):
so I completely understand feeling like, oh my God, please
get your kids. But you know I don't have children,
so I would love to hear from the parents what
you guys think about this story. I'll post the video
on our Instagram Fred Show Radio. You can find me
at on air Kiki. That's k E k E. But
when someone puts on an invite and they say no kids,

(04:39):
please respect it, especially if you're coming to my wedding
because I'm not planning about that. Okay, no kids means
no kids, but we could keep talking about it. Hit
me up on the ground at on air, Kiki. I
hope you have the most amazing Thanksgiving dinner with your family.
And of course you know you can follow along with
us all of us on the Fred Show, on Instagram

(05:01):
and on the iHeart app. I love you friend, I'll
talk to you Monday morning.
