1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:01,480 Speaker 1: Justin Worsham is with us. 2 00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:05,360 Speaker 2: He is host of a dad podcast and joins us 3 00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:09,000 Speaker 2: to talk things parenting. And we've got an article here 4 00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:12,119 Speaker 2: about a retired teacher who is spilling all the tea, 5 00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:16,239 Speaker 2: as they say, five years ago about parenting mistakes that 6 00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:18,639 Speaker 2: she saw go down throughout her career. 7 00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:21,800 Speaker 1: Now, is she an a hole or what? 8 00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:24,640 Speaker 3: Just get out of the gates. Do we judge her 9 00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:25,680 Speaker 3: or do we like her? 10 00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:28,160 Speaker 2: Do go enjoy your retirement? Why are you throwing all 11 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:29,520 Speaker 2: these parents under the bus? 12 00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:32,640 Speaker 3: Well, in her defense, her daughter, I believe, is some 13 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:36,080 Speaker 3: producer for the Today Show, and her daughter asked her 14 00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:39,479 Speaker 3: on TikTok and she's saying that over her years and 15 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:43,480 Speaker 3: years of teaching that she probably taught about twelve hundred 16 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:46,400 Speaker 3: students and interacted with two thousand parents. So therefore she's 17 00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:50,920 Speaker 3: a credible source. I've seen scientific studies that have less 18 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,800 Speaker 3: of a sample size than what they're talking here. And 19 00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,600 Speaker 3: what she says is that parents the biggest mistake that 20 00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 3: parents make is they try to make their kids something 21 00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:02,960 Speaker 3: that they're not, and they're not accepting enough about just 22 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,560 Speaker 3: who their kid is. She has this very kumbay a 23 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:07,880 Speaker 3: message of just enjoy your kid and the person that 24 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:11,480 Speaker 3: they are. And I mean I get it to a 25 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:13,840 Speaker 3: certain extent. I think what she's really getting at is like, 26 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,080 Speaker 3: like she uses the example, if your kid's not athletic, 27 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 3: don't try to make them athletics so they can get 28 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,360 Speaker 3: a scholarship. Like, my sons are not academic. They're not 29 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,680 Speaker 3: they like to have conversations. They aren't what you would 30 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:30,319 Speaker 3: call smart people. Yeah, yeah, I mean, honestly, now here's 31 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 3: the thing I would definitely see that. I would say 32 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 3: that again. Their kids. So they're you know, you can't 33 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 3: go toe to toe with someone in their forties, but 34 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 3: they are street smart. But they are not book smart 35 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,039 Speaker 3: because that's not what appeals to them. They are not 36 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 3: like so I've always kind of seen that in them. 37 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:45,679 Speaker 3: I'm like, you're probably gonna have to own your own 38 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 3: business because somebody else telling you what to do is 39 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 3: going to probably annoy you on some level, and you're 40 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 3: probably going to be wrong to be annoyed by that. 41 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 4: If I'm being honest with my kid as well. 42 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 2: But I don't know, there's a lot of smart kids 43 00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 2: that are just not into school exactly just the way 44 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 2: it is. It's the way it's always then there. 45 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 4: Is a problem with kids. 46 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 5: The kids that I know, and not all of them 47 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 5: are built this way, but there are a lot of 48 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 5: kids that don't want to try new things. Some kids 49 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 5: just generally don't want to try new things, and they 50 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:20,800 Speaker 5: put themselves in a corner without knowing what's out there. Right, 51 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 5: I mean, as adults, we know what they're missing out on. 52 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,800 Speaker 5: If they don't try sports, if they don't try music, 53 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 5: if they don't try whatever they're you know, whatever, you 54 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,359 Speaker 5: would want them to at least dip their toe into 55 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:33,800 Speaker 5: because they might they might find that thing that is 56 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:38,640 Speaker 5: good for them. My daughter wasn't a huge, not super athletic, 57 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 5: and didn't really think that she could play volleyball because 58 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 5: she wasn't She wasn't the tall kid, she wasn't the tall, 59 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,679 Speaker 5: skinny kid that she thought you had to be to 60 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,360 Speaker 5: play volleyball. And played all through high school and loved 61 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 5: it and had a great time. But wouldn't have done 62 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,079 Speaker 5: that had we not. You know, hey, stick with it, 63 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 5: play another year, try something else, do it again. Put 64 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,679 Speaker 5: yourself out there, you know, in a situation that you 65 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 5: might not be you might not necessarily feel comfortable in, 66 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 5: but that we know that there is a potential reward 67 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 5: at the end of that. 68 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 3: You're talking to me like you have a camera in 69 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 3: my house right now?

But so my point is is that 133 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 4: it's a lot. 134 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 3: And they were like, oh, aren't you worried about the 135 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,280 Speaker 3: concussion stuff, And I'm like, no, no, I'm not, weirdly enough, 136 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 3: that's not what I'm worried about. I'm worried about that 137 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 3: he has this perception of what it's going to be, 138 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 3: and that he's going to sign up for something great 139 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 3: for him and then not want to do it after 140 00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 3: three weeks and I'm going to have to be like, well, 141 00:05:58,560 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 3: you're stuck. 142 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 1: There's that the routine, you know. I still disagree. 143 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 2: You get him in a show choir to hook up 144 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 2: with the hot girl, and then you pivot to football 145 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 2: to impress the father. 146 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, love that kid. 147 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 3: And I think, if I'm being really, really really honest, 148 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 3: I think the real reason I'm having a problem with 149 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,600 Speaker 3: it is that this is gonna sound so late. 150 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 4: My son is more than enough. 151 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 3: I really believe the kid likes him out. 152 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 2: Now, this is your problem with it. You try to 153 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 2: get him into football. He didn't listen to you, but 154 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 2: he's listening to this kid's dad. 155 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:29,039 Speaker 4: Yeah.

The girlfriend already said he has 158 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,040 Speaker 3: the record of her boyfriend. 159 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 4: So far of dad like signing off faster than. 160 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:43,040 Speaker 2: Anybody can provide skills that every young person needs any team, and. 161 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 5: If nothing else, this is the golf rule. It's a 162 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 5: different sport, but it's the golf rule. You gotta know 163 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:49,919 Speaker 5: how to play.

This is how about 224 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,439 Speaker 5: getting parent being a parent in the first place? 225 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, so they it's this, this lot of this is 226 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:17,680 Speaker 3: kind of blew my mind. So I hope that everybody 227 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 3: else finds this just as interesting. What they're talking about 228 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 3: here is that they're they've zeroed in on the idea 229 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 3: that the reason the birth rate is decreasing is because 230 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 3: people are finding harder and harder to keep up with 231 00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 3: other parents in providing for their kids. So we've talked 232 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 3: about how the if the birth rate doesn't rise to 233 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 3: almost three, uh, then then we're gonna have a population 234 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 3: problem in the long term where there's not going to 235 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 3: be enough people on the planet. Like it's almost it's 236 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 3: a long term plan for extinction, I guess. And so 237 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,320 Speaker 3: right now we're at a two point seven birth rate 238 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 3: per person or whatever, and so this is saying that 239 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 3: part of the reason we thought it was because of 240 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 3: the cost of kids, But what they're saying is that 241 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,200 Speaker 3: it's not only just the cost of kids, but it's 242 00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,120 Speaker 3: like the effort that you have to put into and 243 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 3: the cost of doing everything that you can for your kids, 244 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:07,599 Speaker 3: to the point where the government in China got involved 245 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:13,760 Speaker 3: and taxed after school tutoring programs like California does cigarettes 246 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:17,720 Speaker 3: and gasoline as a deterrent, like to keep people from 247 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 3: signing their kids up from Isn't this weird? Like this 248 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:24,720 Speaker 3: means that there is a global movement to stop excelling 249 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:28,680 Speaker 3: at things to hinder people from getting better and performing 250 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,480 Speaker 3: at their best. Am I crazy that that's what I'm 251 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 3: seeing in this. 252 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:34,080 Speaker 4: I guess it's when. 253 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:40,319 Speaker 5: I was gonna say it's a product of overpopulation period, 254 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:48,720 Speaker 5: like we've reached this point where the struggle isn't enough, sort. 255 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:50,840 Speaker 4: Of making up a struggle to have a struggle. Yeah, 256 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 4: I guess. 257 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 3: It's also interesting that they said that twenty percent of 258 00:10:56,480 --> 00:11:00,600 Speaker 3: the population in China is over the age of sixty five, 259 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 3: and they're they they feel like that is a bad thing, 260 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 3: and so I just looked at it out of curiosity 261 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:07,360 Speaker 3: In the US, it's eighteen percent. 262 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 4: I was shocked. 263 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:11,199 Speaker 3: In La County in California, it's fourteen percent. In the 264 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 3: state of California, fourteen percent of the population of sixty 265 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 3: five years or older.
