Speaker 1 (00:00):
It'd be a ninety three morning show. I'm Allie Mack

(00:01):
and Mike. I got scolded over the weekend by my
brother in law.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
What did you do?

Speaker 1 (00:07):
We went to my niece's soccer game on Sunday Mother's Day.
And I don't usually get to stay in town that
long because usually on Sunday evenings, I got to make
the trip back over to the other side of the
state to get ready for work. So I took the
day off so I could like spend a little bit
more time. And yeah, I got to go to a
soccer game.

Speaker 3 (00:24):
My niece is four.

Speaker 1 (00:26):
Okay, If that gives you any idea as to how
these quote unquote games kind of go, and everybody else
on the field is four as well, that is not
lost on me.

Speaker 3 (00:36):
You don't need to explain it, Okay.

Speaker 1 (00:40):
But there was this one girl and she kept pushing.
She was on the other team. She was not on
our team. She was on the other team. And I
saw her mom sitting over there on the sidelines, and
I kept trying to make eye contact with the mom
to be like, yo, get your girl and check man,
we are not pushing out here, like pushing people down.
So they take a water break right, and my niece

(01:02):
runs over and I'm like.

Speaker 3 (01:02):
Violet, you're doing so good. I'm so proud of you.
You're so tough. If that girl pushes you again, push
her back.

Speaker 1 (01:09):
And my brother in lawgos like from the back, he's
standing with all the dads from behind, and he goes, no, no.

Speaker 2 (01:14):
Yeah, you can't push back. Don't push back? What Yeah,
you can't push back? Nah? Now now, because the way
that the world works, whether it's sports or school, its sports,
the second you do something back, you're in trouble too.

Speaker 3 (01:28):
But she did it first.

Speaker 2 (01:29):
I agree, Look at you know this is all right.
I'm gonna separate Mike and Dad Mike. Mike says, you
don't let anybody push you.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
Right, just down the field, like just you'd be aggressive,
stand your ground, right, you.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
Don't let anybody push you. However, the way that you
have to do this and the right way, Dad Mike
stepping in now is the second you do something back,
you're also in trouble. So we don't we don't promote
the violence. I get it to sport. We don't promote
it because otherwise they don't know the difference. At four. Yeah,

(02:05):
that's where that's where it gets tricky. Yeah, but I'm
with you one hundred percent. All I want to say
because we've had issues, not issues, but we've had situations
in school where like a kid will push, you know,
one of our kids, and they defended themselves. Right. I
get that's not sports, but you want to be like, yeah,
stand your ground, yeah yeah, hit back, But they they

(02:29):
don't know the difference. I know that's the tricky part.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
And my four year old niece, with her big blue
eyes and her cute ponytail, she just like looked at
me and her eyes got wide and then her dad
was like no, and she ran out back onto the
field and everything was fine. But then like, I hope
I didn't cause any problems for my sister because I
looked over to my sister and I was.

Speaker 3 (02:50):
Like, was I not supposed to say that? And my
sister was like, I didn't tell you not.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
To say it, because what will happen? What will happen
with a four year old is then I think it's okay,
well not just that, but like a little push will
happen and she'll go no, Aunt Allie told me say
it immediately goes from zero to one. Hundred and it's
never like they can't regulate what a little push is

(03:15):
and what a big push is. So what they'll do
is like a little push will happen. It won't be
a big deal, but they'll go nah, and Alie said
to go for it.

Speaker 3 (03:21):
It's so it's.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
So hard, Like I give parents whose little kids or
any of your kids, whatever age are in sports, I
give you guys so much credit for keeping your cool
on the sidelines because.

Speaker 3 (03:33):
It was hard.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
It was hard to sit there and watch this little
girl beat up on my knees, yeah, and not want
to like get up and walk over to the mom
and be like talk.

Speaker 2 (03:42):
To your kid, yeah, because they're not you know, on
that other end too, because what you'll see the more
you go to these is that mom isn't telling their
kid not.

Speaker 3 (03:49):
To push exactly. And that's why it made me so mad.

Speaker 1 (03:51):
And of course, like I'm sitting with my people, like
I'm sitting with my mom, and I'm sitting with my
sister and like our family and we're all seeing this,
and my mom like under her breath is like if
that ref doesn't say something, and I was like, I know, girl,
but we got to be the adults here, and I
already got in trouble once, so I can't say anything.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
Sure turn, sure turn. I got one strike.

Speaker 3 (04:14):
Oh man, that was tough. That was tough.

Speaker 1 (04:16):
So anyways, that was like one of the last soccer
games of the season. I do not think I can
go to anymore.

Speaker 2 (04:21):
Doesn't it make you understand a little bit, like when
you see those parents, the soccer parents, or what they're
going off on like other parents.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
Totally, Like there's just something in you that, like when
something happens to your little people, you're like, yeah, you know,
oh man, it was hard be ninety three listener Family
Traffic from the Big Bee Coffee Traffic Studio got a
crash in marn Eighth Avenue at M eleven Ironwood Drive
and also Ingreund Rapids Garfield near Wealthy. If you see

(04:52):
something else, give us a call. Six one six two
four two ninety three ninety three. And another thing and
another thing you can check. When the ref says freeze,
uh huh, everybody's supposed to put their hands on their
head and stop. And my niece was really good at that,
and that other girl she wasn't freezing. And that was
my other big And then We're in the parking lot

(05:16):
and the mom that girl was like parked next to me,
and I was like, the universe just wants the smoke today.

Speaker 2 (05:24):
When you swing the door open a little bit too hard,
not my car, Oh wow, not in my car. Maybe
your elbow, Maybe your elbow swings a little hard.

Speaker 1 (05:33):
But thank god I was wearing sunglasses because I was
staring daggers. Man, Oh, no, steering daggers.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
Take them off. You gotta get Oh you got, Yeah,
that's what you can do.

Speaker 1 (05:42):
Like do you say, like, do you say something to
the parent, because we were all kind of like hello, hello,
like somebody talked to her, and like the refs are
like like high school girls. You know, they're just doing
this for a spring job or extra crewdit or whatever, right,
and they do his best they can.

Speaker 3 (06:01):
But I was heated.

Speaker 2 (06:02):
I'm a passive aggressive parent when it comes to that,
I'll say something. I'll definitely say something. I'm not gonna
be the one that screams like at the kids because
there's therefore before. But the parent who can control the
situation can definitely do something.

Speaker 1 (06:20):
We're just all here to have a good time. Yeah,
get your daughter on the same page. Man, I need
the aunts and the uncles to come to my defense here.

Speaker 3 (06:30):
I got in a little bit of trouble over the.

Speaker 2 (06:33):
Weekend, like the fingershake that.

Speaker 1 (06:38):
Yeah, I got scolded by my brother in law because
I went to my niece's soccer game on Sunday. She's
five and everybody else on the field is five too,
and there was a little girl who kept pushing. So
when my niece came over for a water break, I
told her, like, you're doing so good. I'm so proud
of you. You're playing so hard. If that little girl
pushes you again, push your back. And my brother in

(07:01):
law from like behind, he's standing with all the dads
behind us, he goes, no.

Speaker 2 (07:06):
No, I get, and I get where he's coming from.
As a dad myself with a five year old, sometimes
they get a little pushy. And when they get a
little pushy, the best thing you could do is say
just don't push in general, don't push back when it
comes to sports or school. If they're pushing you and
you push back, you're gonna get in as much trouble

(07:27):
as the person who pushed you. To beg which isn't
right by any means. Yeah, it's just how it works,
and because I think mostly they can't differentiate between when
should I push and when shouldn't I push.

Speaker 1 (07:41):
But see, you guys have to say that because you're
the parents. I feel like I can get away with
it because I'm the aunt.

Speaker 2 (07:46):
You know, Yep, you're not wrong, You're not wrong. Maybe,
but I still would step in and go now, like
I get where your your brother in law is coming from.

Speaker 1 (07:54):
Like he wasn't actually mad about it, no, no, but
just like in the moment he was like, no.

Speaker 2 (08:00):
H really because that sounds like that's that tone and
everything that you're saying sounds like he's had to tell
her many times, don't push your brother, or don't push
your sister, don't push.

Speaker 3 (08:10):
It was hard to watch. I was about to go
out there myself.

Speaker 2 (08:12):
It's the hardest thing in the world because you want
to swing on them. You want to swing on a
five year old kid.

Speaker 3 (08:17):
I mean, I don't, but I'd love to.

Speaker 1 (08:19):
No, that's not okay six one, six, two four to
two ninety three, ninety three, good morning, be ninety three.

Speaker 2 (08:29):
Hey, she's got to stand up for herself at one point.

Speaker 1 (08:33):
That's what I'm saying, Like when siven standing your ground
in sports. Granted, five might be a little young, but
what's the appropriate age to do that?

Speaker 2 (08:41):
If adults aren't taking care of it, which they weren't,
then someone needs to stand up and she has everybody
to push their girl back.

Speaker 1 (08:47):
See this is dangerous because you're gonna give me a complex.

Speaker 2 (08:51):
I wouldn't. I wouldn't tell the kids to get rowdy.
I would tell I'd go to the parents, I'd handle
because the adults are the reason the kids are are
getting round, because they're either hyping their kid up too
much or not controlling their kid. And you can't blame
a five year old, right, You can't have five year
that's like dog fighting. You can't put a five year
old on a five year old, you know what I mean? So,

(09:11):
like I think you go to the parents and say, hey,
calm your kid down.

Speaker 4 (09:15):
Well, I agree. My kid was a little there doing
the same age, and this kid.

Speaker 3 (09:18):
Just pushed everyone down.

Speaker 4 (09:21):
His dad.

Speaker 2 (09:22):
Oh, so I said to my kid, team, I said,
push him back.

Speaker 1 (09:27):
See, And isn't that what we are for as the
aunt or the uncle. We are here to do the
work that as parents, you guys can't do because you
have to keep it together. You got to be polite
because you got to see these people at the in
the school line and at the functions.

Speaker 3 (09:41):
I don't. I live across the state.

Speaker 1 (09:43):
I can come in like a rogue whatever on a
mission and say the things that you guys can't say.

Speaker 3 (09:50):
You're thinking it, but you can't say it, but I can, right.

Speaker 2 (09:55):
Maybe maybe kind of No, it kind of hurts some
of the the teachings that the parents are trying to
do a little bit. Would when cool Aunt Ali comes
in and is like.

Speaker 3 (10:07):
Punch them, No, say punch them?

Speaker 2 (10:10):
Well, you don't have to say. That's what a kid hears.

Speaker 1 (10:12):
And I didn't say go out there and push her
in retaliation. I said, if she pushes you again.

Speaker 3 (10:18):
Push back.

Speaker 2 (10:19):
That's It's not the kid's fault. The kid is only
doing what they were taught or what they're allowed to do.
So really it's the parent's fault. Somebody you need to
just go punch the parent. Well I'm not going to
do that, okay, but why not? Also you gon't learn today?
Good morning, Welcome to the B ninety three Morning Show.
What's your name and where are you from?

Speaker 4 (10:41):
Nicole Richland?

Speaker 2 (10:42):
All right, Nicole, what do you think Ali should do.

Speaker 4 (10:45):
I agree with her and I'm the parent?

Speaker 1 (10:47):
Oh unexpected twist you.

Speaker 4 (10:51):
Yeah. So my son was in baseball, anne soccer, and
by ten we had to pull them out because it's
not Hey, everybody wins, we keep score. There's always a loser.

Speaker 2 (11:04):
Push.

Speaker 4 (11:04):
You push back until they have the ball under control,
you run. So I taught my kids the real art
of sport.

Speaker 2 (11:11):
Okay, but you said you had to pull him out.

Speaker 4 (11:14):
Because he was interrupted in BMX. But yeah, I was
the parent that everybody hated.

Speaker 1 (11:19):
Oh there you go, see and there you go when
I'm there, my sister and my brother in law, they
don't have to be the parent that everybody hates.

Speaker 3 (11:29):
I can be the one that everybody hates.

Speaker 2 (11:30):
Right, But it sounds like she's the parent that's telling
her kids to push other kids. That's what it sounds like.

Speaker 4 (11:36):
If they pushed you, you pushed back. My parents taught me.
They sing, first you swing back.

Speaker 3 (11:42):
Right, see you don't start. No, there won't be none.

Speaker 2 (11:44):
Yeah, but Jesus says, turn the other cheek. Jesus says,
then the other chief on the soccer field.

Speaker 3 (11:54):
Thanks for the call, Nicol. It's tough.

Speaker 2 (11:58):
It is, it is. It's the hardest lesson you have
to teach your kids.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
Because like to sit there and watch her just get
like beat up on by this kid who's just like
pushing her down and pushing her down and pushing her down,
and like nobody was gonna say anything to this kid.

Speaker 3 (12:12):
And like the it's five year old soccer, you know
what I mean.

Speaker 1 (12:14):
Like the coaches and the refs are like high school girls.

Speaker 3 (12:19):
You know.

Speaker 1 (12:19):
It's it's while it kind of is their job to
like make sure everything's running correctly and stuff. But also
as a parent, I feel like it's your duty and
responsibility to talk to your kid and be like, hey,
I love that you're being aggressive. I love that you're
playing hard, but we can't hurt other kids.

Speaker 2 (12:35):
Out there, Yeah, you can't. It's like teaching them because
this is life lessons. I mean, I get it's sports,
but like you use these things, you know, working with
a team and how to handle tough situations and how
to deal with people who are you know, it's like
a life lesson, right, And if you're teaching them the
only way to answer violence is with violence, Like it's
it's just not a good look.

Speaker 1 (12:55):
Yeah, because at five, they don't understand that like it's competition.
It's like it's competition, so it's it's aggressive, but only
up unto a point, like we're not hurting people out here. Yeah,
but we are playing tough.

Speaker 2 (13:07):
Yes, that's yes, that's the line, and that's what you're
That's the whole goal is to teach them how to
be confident and in competitive right without like needing to
be all these these other things that they don't need
to be. And I don't blame the kid. I don't
blame the referees. The parent is the only one that
really is is controlling their behavior and that maybe they

(13:28):
had a conversation in the car we don't know about,
you know, on the ride home. I don't know. But
an Allie steps in, I don't hate it. I don't
hate the idea. If you step it in and say something,
I'll say that I would have had to probably said
the same thing as a.

Speaker 3 (13:42):
As a parent, you have to write like.

Speaker 2 (13:43):
I don't I don't hate.

Speaker 1 (13:45):
It, but man, I just I just you know, that's
a parent. I don't enjoy watching little kids get pushed. No,
But at the same time, like sometimes you need to
taste your own medicine because I got three other five
year olds over here, or that I can give a
little pep talk to you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (14:03):
Like now, you're hyping up a five year old game.

Speaker 3 (14:05):
Happened.

Speaker 2 (14:06):
That was a five year old mob.

Speaker 3 (14:07):
Okay, all right,
