Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're waking up with in the morning, Kiss, good morning.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Do you want to sit for some piping hot tea
that has absolutely nothing to do with you, but it's
small town drama that I feel like you might like
to participate and also ultimately be able to provide feedback
and help.

Speaker 1 (00:16):
Okay, cool, cool, Cool.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
We're going to talk about kids and weddings in this
particular case, like family member kids at weddings. Why don't
we just go ahead and give this wedding a name,
and just because I have a feeling, I'm going to
bring this wedding up multiple times from now until August.
We'll just call it the Boston Wedding. So when I
reference the Boston Wedding, you know exactly what I'm talking about.

(00:41):
A really good friend of mine is getting married. No,
a really good friend of mine's brother is getting married.
And I look down at my phone on Monday morning
with about six minutes worth of voice notes, which I
know that this is going to be an unhinged voice note.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
If it's six.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
Minutes long, you're gonna need your headphones and you're gonna
need the lock in.

Speaker 1 (01:04):
She lets me know that her brother.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
Wants her son in their wedding this coming summer, and
I believe, like I said, it's happening somewhere in Boston.
That's why it's called the Boston Wedding. Now, I'm best friend,
she's one of my best friends. I don't know how
to give her some I don't know what to say
to her on this because I don't have kids that

(01:31):
I've ever had to look after at a wedding, right,
so she's telling me, and I figured it'd come best
out of my mouth rather than hers, because I could
get her on the show here.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
But again, like I had mentioned, a little unhinged.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
His expectation of her is that she brings her son
to the wedding. He's six years old. There will be
no other children at this wedding. She's also a single mom,
so she won't have any help to like wrangle the
kid around. She also wants to enjoy her only brother's

(02:03):
wedding and have herself a good time. But if she
brings her six year old, well, parents, you would know
best that that is your responsibility throughout the wedding weekend.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
He's coming at.

Speaker 2 (02:14):
Her like, well, he's a really important part of our
family and.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
We really want him there. She feels a little bit
of a type of way because she's like.

Speaker 2 (02:25):
I feel like you only want him there for the
photos at the end of the day for Instagram. And
I don't know what to tell her because she's looking
at you know, looking to me for some sort of advice,
you know of like.

Speaker 1 (02:39):
Hey, am I.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
She's basically giving me the hey am I a bitch?

Speaker 1 (02:44):
And give me the check best friend?

Speaker 3 (02:46):
Check me?

Speaker 2 (02:47):
Am I wrong in saying I don't want to bring
my son to this wedding, knowing that he's going to
be the only kid there. He's going to be stuck
for a weekend's worth of wedding events. On top of that,
you're my only brother. I want to be able to
celebrate you, but there's gonna be no one there to
help me.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
I'm a single mom. I don't really know what to
tell her.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
I mean, as her bestie, like I'm always gonna ride
for her, and I feel like she's got some valid points,
but I want to be able to offer her perspective,
which is where you come in.

Speaker 1 (03:18):
What do we do about this Boston wedding? I don't
know what to tell her.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
Five one three seven four nine one oh seven one
he really wants his nephew there, and she's like, for
what the Instagram pictures five, one, three, seven, four, nine,
one oh seven one it tips, tricks advice do you like?

Speaker 1 (03:36):
Does she bring them? Does she not? Let's get you
on the air.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
Next Good Morning. A reminder seven forty bangor brackets continues
your chance to win a pair of tickets to ten
different concerts at Riverbend this summer here on TIF in
the morning. So don't go far per usual, you have
come in and the clutch. Let's talk about kids at
weddings and get some advice for my dear friend in

(03:58):
the Boston wedding morning.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
You're on the air, Good Morning.

Speaker 4 (04:02):
I rather needs a higher weekend nanny. If he really
wants the sun there. All of her points are ballad.

Speaker 5 (04:09):
She's not gonna be able to enjoy it.

Speaker 4 (04:11):
Unfortunately, he's sick. He's gonna want someone to entertain him.
And you know, if her brother really wants him there,
he needs to pay for nanny.

Speaker 1 (04:20):
Okay, are you do?

Speaker 4 (04:21):
You have kids?

Speaker 5 (04:22):
Five?

Speaker 1 (04:23):
Okay?

Speaker 2 (04:23):
Okay, so but let's go to the wedding together. For
a hot second, Let's say I'm the nanny of your
five kids and this is you're in this scenario.

Speaker 1 (04:31):
Would your kids really ever leave you alone?

Speaker 5 (04:34):
Not?

Speaker 2 (04:34):
Let you know what I'm saying, like, would you really
be able to enjoy it if the nanny was there
taking care of your kids?

Speaker 1 (04:39):
Or do you think they'd still be up your butt?

Speaker 3 (04:41):
No?

Speaker 4 (04:42):
I think oh my kids.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
You're like, well, let me tell you I've got five
of them, Ashley, thank you so much for the call.
If you're just walking into this conversation and I was
talking about my dear friend, this is like small town
drama that has nothing to do with us but sit
for the tea, you know, and also provide insight and such.
My good one of my best friends back in Boston

(05:05):
was leaving me unhinged voice notes earlier this week, being like,
I need your insight, Tiff. Her brother's getting married. She's
a single mom. He wants his nephew in the wedding.
He's six years old, and she's like, I'm not going
to bring this kid to the wedding if I have
one no help, and two I just feel bad for him.

Speaker 1 (05:23):
The kid at the wedding. What is he gonna do.

Speaker 2 (05:25):
He's gonna be the only kid. There are no kids
at the wedding except for mine? So am I gonna
enjoy myself? Are you gonna enjoy him? Or do you
just want him there for the pictures? What are we
doing here? So I am really leaning on you. Good morning,
Thank you so much for stopping by the show, Kelly.

Speaker 4 (05:42):
My question or her would be, well, why do you
think that he would only want your son there for
the photos?

Speaker 1 (05:49):
Okay?

Speaker 4 (05:50):
Like what makes her think that way? Like why why
does she feel that type of way? Is he just
like materialistic or I don't know, I don't know who
he is, but it's I think she should bring him personally.
But if she really feels that type of way towards
her brother with her own son, his nephew, then like

(06:13):
I don't even know how good of a relationship that
they have, Like if she feels that type of way
about him, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (06:20):
You make a good point.

Speaker 2 (06:21):
I know I'm only giving you surface level details instead
of really diving deep into my best friend's you know,
relationship with her family. And I think if I were
to speak on her, behalf their relationships. Okay, they live together,
by the way, they're on two separate floors of the
same like duplex. Oh yeah, yeah, I just I think.

Speaker 4 (06:41):
That's a very interesting.

Speaker 1 (06:44):
Yeah, so I've seen sit for the tea because it's hot.

Speaker 4 (06:49):
I mean, I think it's hard to tell us. You
don't know like some of the background of their relationship totally.
But if you're looking from an outside, I would say
bring the kid, okay, just because that's her son and
I know he might not have the best time, but
you can still try to make it a good time

(07:09):
out of it.

Speaker 1 (07:10):
And you know, I'm not saying she's like, like wall
be a.

Speaker 4 (07:14):
Good mom, bring your kid, not saying she's about I'm
not saying she's bad mom or anything like that. I'm
just saying, like, you know, just bring your son.

Speaker 2 (07:20):
Well, Kelly, thank you so much for the insight. We've
gotten two different sides here. Five one, three, seven, four nine,
one oh seven one. I want to get you on
the air next. And we're not far off from bangor Brackets.

Speaker 1 (07:32):
You're waking up with fifth in the morning, Kiss one
seven one.

Speaker 2 (07:35):
Kids, kids in weddings. I'll take one either or kid
or wedding combination of either. For the Cyclones tickets around
eight thirty is this morning. Their fan appreciation night is
this Saturday, And I'm just trying to get you at
the house. I looked at the weather app today too,
for the next five days by Saturday. Trust me, you're

(07:56):
gonna want to go to this game. You're gonna need
something if you're just walking into the conversation. Very rarely
does something in our seven o'clock hour bleed into our
eight unless you choose, unless you want it to. And
by your calls and talkbacks, we're going to talk about
bringing kids to weddings.

Speaker 1 (08:16):
We'll start with this talkback. Here we go.

Speaker 3 (08:20):
Hey, Tiff, I'm calling in regards to the wedding situation
with the six year old. Yeah, why doesn't your friend
compromise let him go to the wedding so it can
be in it, be a part of your brother's her
brother's special day, and then have a babysitter for the reception.

(08:41):
That way he's part of it, but she's not trying
to entertaining during the reception.

Speaker 1 (08:49):
Well, thank you for the talkback with TIF.

Speaker 2 (08:51):
You too can contribute to my show using the iHeartRadio app.
The microphone is in the top right hand corner if
that's easier for you, nor where you can call me
or DM call me beat me if you want to
reach me. You might have been able to pick up
on some context clues from that if you're just walking
into it. We've called this entitled this the Boston Wedding

(09:11):
because there's a good chance that this wedding will come
up a few times in the next couple of months
before August gets here. Really good friend of mine's brothers
getting married. She's a single mom. He wants his nephew,
who's six years old, to be in the wedding, and
my best friend is like, I don't I don't think
it's fair to bring him if he's going to be

(09:33):
the only child at an adult function for the weekend.
So what you can just have the photos for Instagram.
And of course there are many layers to this conversation
and I'm really only giving you surface.

Speaker 1 (09:48):
If you'd like me to go deeper, I can.

Speaker 2 (09:50):
I just don't know how much time you have in
your morning to spare this conversation.

Speaker 1 (09:54):
So why don't we do this?

Speaker 2 (09:55):
If you want more, give me a call, And I
really could use your insight because she's leaving me unhinged
voice notes because that's what my friend, you know, that's
what friends do.

Speaker 1 (10:04):
She's like, TIF, I need you to check me. Am
I doing the right thing and the wrong thing?

Speaker 2 (10:08):
I don't quite know what advice to give her because
I'm not a parent, so I'm a little like, I'm
a little one sided on this. I'm like, well, I
get where you're coming from. Where you don't want them
there not that you don't want them, but you know
there's just a lot. It's a lot, So why don't
we do this by one three seven four nine, one
oh seven one. Give me your take, Give me your
take if you've been through this or seen this. By
the way, kids or weddings, I'll take either. Keyword is

(10:30):
the one you're gonna need for the Cyclones tickets at
eight thirty. If you thought that was a banger, give
me like two or three minutes here waiting to see
what I've got coming up next. Kis one oh seven
one's commercial free kids and weddings. Is the keyword that
you're gonna need for the Cyclones tickets coming up in
just a few minutes. What are your thoughts on my
friend having to bring her son to her brother's wedding

(10:51):
even though she doesn't think it's a good fit for
him because he's six years old.

Speaker 5 (10:56):
Trucker.

Speaker 2 (10:57):
Hey House, Virginia. Where are we driving around today?

Speaker 5 (11:01):
I mean, I'm heading up in the Kentucky pass. You
let the child go. Let the boy be part of
the wedding. You's family, family is everything. Let the child
be in the wedding. And then after the adult uh,
send the child, let him have a playdate. Uh, send
the night somewhere with the relative of a friend, so on,

(11:24):
so forth, and then the adults can do the adult stuff.
Don't exclude the child because you're a single parent. I mean,
I get it, But family is family, that's the that's
the most important thing in life.

Speaker 1 (11:39):
Hunter.

Speaker 2 (11:39):
Thank you for the call, and thanks for always listening
on the iHeartRadio app as you you know, truck around
the United States. If you're just walking into this conversation,
I also want to note that I think the burden
always falls on the mother when it comes to parenting.
This is from observation. I've got many friends and family
members that have I don't have any of my own,

(12:01):
but I do want to recognize that a lot of
parenting things fall on mom.

Speaker 1 (12:10):
I think this is where my friend is coming from.

Speaker 2 (12:12):
If you're walking into the conversation here, she hit me
up and she's like, listen, my brother wants me to
bring my kid to the wedding, and you know it's
his nephew, but I don't think he's going to have
a good time. He's six years old. There's no other
kids there. I'm a single mom. I'm not gonna have
any help. This just kind of sounds miserable all for
what some photographs. But I get both sides. You know,
Family's Family Hunter did make a good point. We got

(12:34):
time for one more higher on the air.

Speaker 4 (12:36):
So I have two kids on my own, and do
you need to listen to her?

Speaker 3 (12:41):
Guy?

Speaker 4 (12:41):
If she doesn't thank her kids to go, she shouldn't
take them.

Speaker 2 (12:44):
Stormy, thank you very much for the call. I really
appreciate that. You can contribute if you'd like. I've got
three minutes and then we've got cyclones. Tickets don't go far.
