Speaker 1 (00:10):
Heart podcasts, he more Kiss Podcast playlist and listen live
on the Free iHeart app. Maddy Jay, I'm glad you're
in here feeling in today because I want to get
your take on this list. You and I've been talking
about all morning, the hot parenting list of rules that
have come out of Hollywood. So I think it was
on BuzzFeed, but a bunch of celebrities have said the

(00:31):
I don't know if they're weird and wonderful, but rules
that they put on their kids that might be a
little bit left field are a little bit different. And
it got me thinking, is there anything about the way
that you parent that you think is a little bit
different to how the average person my parent?

Speaker 2 (00:47):
I think I'm pretty boring. My rules are very same same.
I don't think they're going to surprise anyone out there.
I think the biggest one at the moment that Laura
and I always have debates over is about screen time.
And we now have a rule where we don't allow
the girls to watch any TV Monday to Thursday TV
treat time. They're gonna have that Friday night yep. And

(01:09):
then we allowed them to have like an hour on
a Saturday and a Sunday because they turn feral with
any TV. That's about it though.

Speaker 1 (01:16):
Yeah, but I think that's good. When I was a kid,
we had we didn't watch a lot of TV, but
we had a plate what was it what was before
a PlayStation Nintendo sixty four vintage vintage. But there were
four of us kids. We all got to play half
an hour each MAX on like a Saturday, and that
was it. It was times like we had a proper timer.
And it doesn't it didn't matter where you were on

(01:37):
Rainbow Road. You got it taken from you and then
you had to go outside and play. So strict.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
I like that. Yeah, I think that's a great rule.
Kids these days they could learn from that.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
Well, there's a lot of Hollywood to come out. I
want to read you some of them and go and
see what you think. So Drew Barrymore, for example, she
has come out and said that she's put a strict
rule down that her kids, under no circumstances, can act
no one. Even though she was like one of the
greatest child actors. She's like banned them from acting until
the eighteenth Yep.

Speaker 2 (02:03):
I think Drew, I get that she grew up way
too quick. She was in like Studio fifty four when
she was three.

Speaker 1 (02:09):
I think she was in like rehab when she was
eleven or twelve or something, So I understand.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
Why I get that. Here's a weird one. My favorite,
Courtney Kardashian. She has said that her kids aren't allowed
to use the microwave. That's such a rich person thing,
isn't it. Maybe I should stop using the microwave.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
Do you know what? That's supposed to be a lot
of science backed in that.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
Well, she says, when I had Mason, I did a
lot of health related research and decided to get rid
of my microwave when she read that toxins from plastic
containers can be transferred to the food. But hey, don't
put your plastic in the microwave.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
Come on, Courtney, change it to like one of her like, of.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
Course, use your crockery. Come on, guys, use.

Speaker 1 (02:47):
Your microwave safe bowl. Gwyneth Paltrow, she's always a little
bit weird. She's got a kick called Apple that was
weird anyway.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
Pultro or Paltrow, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (02:55):
I say Paltrow, What do you say, Paltrow? What do
you say? Producer Grace Paltrow.

Speaker 2 (02:59):
I think, Wow, I've been saying it wrong.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
You have, Yeah, it's Gwyneth Poultrow. She said that her
kids weren't allowed to watch TV unless it was in
French Spanish, which is pretty brilliant and mean at the
same time.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
I do that with my kids, but I just tell
them that they're two tired, so they kind of understand
the words.

Speaker 1 (03:17):
Do they believe that?

Speaker 2 (03:18):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (03:18):
I put it.

Speaker 2 (03:19):
I put it on in like Mandarin.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
Surely they're old enough to know what a different language is.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
What's happening about you? You're so tired? Time for bed, kid,
Off you go.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
It's about like eleven am. Apparently that is like the
best way to teach you a kid a language is
from when they're really little, like toddlers, all their cartoons
or whatever you're letting them watch. You put in a
different language. Yeah, because you think of how much think
of how many things your kids come up with that
you've never taught them. Right, You're like, where do they
get that word from? They get it from the cartoons

(03:50):
and watching TV and all that kind of thing. So
if you're at that age where they're so impressionable and
they're a sponge, if you're putting just like French on
they're going to speak French.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
No, it doesn't work like that. It does if you
have taught your child another language, please call us right now.
Purely from cartoons, I wish for thinking.

Speaker 1 (04:09):
Okay. The other thing was Madonna said that if her
kids leave their clothes on the ground, she takes them
and puts them in a bag and they have to
earn their clothes back with chores, so.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
They're walking around naked. Is that well, I think that's
child abuse, Madonna? How dare you this last one here?
I actually like this one. This is from Kristin Bell
and dak Shepherd that kids have to share a room
because they believe it allows them to figure out how
to share and you know, for a closet and close
for example. It's where you have to live in a
space where you're sharing your community with somebody else.

Speaker 1 (04:40):
I actually love that. I never had my own room,
So me and my sister are three years apart, and
from as long as I can remember, as long as
she was born, we shared a room un till I
was about to turn seventeen.

Speaker 2 (04:53):
That explains a lot. You're a very caring, giving person.

Speaker 1 (04:56):
We are my sister. I am very close, and I
think I would do that even if I had multiple
rooms in my house. I think there's something cool about
getting you kids to share.

Speaker 2 (05:03):
I love it.

Speaker 1 (05:04):
Not too seventeen though. I did try to move to
the garage, but that's another story.
