Speaker 1: So Matt, my beautiful partner, he has a new parenting
Speaker 1: technique which I don't think I agree with. And now, look,
Speaker 1: I agree with a lot of the things that he does.
Speaker 1: I think we're very much on the same page when
Speaker 1: it comes to how we raise our girls. But this
Speaker 1: is something that I don't really and can't get behind.
Speaker 1: So Matt has said recently that if the best way
Speaker 1: to kind of show a kid that they shouldn't do
Speaker 1: or behave in the way that they're behaving is to
Speaker 1: do it back to them. So if they're pushing their sister,
Speaker 1: just give them a little push. If they're being mean
Speaker 1: or they're like whatever it is that they're doing, obviously
Speaker 1: don't push them hard. It's not what I'm saying, guys.
Speaker 1: But if they're doing something that's mean on repetition, doing
Speaker 1: that behavior back to them shows them that it's not
Speaker 1: nice because the kids will then experience it themselves and
Speaker 1: then they'll you know, consider maybe they shouldn't or they
Speaker 1: should kind of, you know, change their behavior.
Speaker 2: Yeadicine, Yeah, old, how does that feel?
Speaker 1: Not nice? Is it? Yeah? Exactly right. So this played
Speaker 1: out recently in our household. Mollie May was sitting Molly
Speaker 1: May's for she was sitting on Matt's lap and they
Speaker 1: were like playing a game, and then she farted on
Speaker 1: him and then started laughing and ran away. And now look,
Speaker 1: I I mean it was disgusting. She shouldn't fart on
Speaker 1: a dad. She thought it was very funny, like she
Speaker 1: intentionally did, like oh yeah, yeah, like she'd stored it up.
Speaker 1: And then it was like no, no, not even remotely.
Speaker 1: She like aimed and fired straight out of dad. Half
Speaker 1: an hour passes and Mally and I are having a
Speaker 1: cuddle on the couch and Matt walks over and he
Speaker 1: farted on our four year old.
Speaker 2: Oh no, can you did put his body where it passed?
Speaker 1: He very close to her, and he farted on her
Speaker 1: legs ye, and then he ran away laughing, and she
Speaker 1: started crying. And now looks from the standard laughing, I
Speaker 1: don't think this is funny, Okay, I think it's terrible,
Speaker 1: because yes, he's disgusting, and I'm sure someone's going to
Speaker 1: be like.
Speaker 2: That's not fair.
Speaker 1: You can't do that to children, and somebody saved them.
Speaker 1: But look, on one hand, yes, I think it was
Speaker 1: a very effective way of teaching her that.
Speaker 2: It's not nice.
Speaker 1: To fart on people. But on the other hand, I
Speaker 1: don't think that this can be the benchmark for how
Speaker 1: we parent our children.
Speaker 2: I'm not opposed to like teaching a kid like you
Speaker 2: know that doesn't feel nice, doesn't like if they pull
Speaker 2: someone's hair, give them a little tug it doesn't hurt, like.
Speaker 1: I'm not opposed to that.
Speaker 2: But the thing I find funny here, Laura, is your
Speaker 2: opinion on this, right, So you're really against matt coming
Speaker 2: and farting, and you're like, you can't do that. It's
Speaker 2: disgusting fight on a four year old. Do you remember
Speaker 2: on the show Laura talking about what she thinks about faring.
Speaker 1: Back to me, Yeah, I can smell the hypocrisy or
Speaker 1: did you just let one out? Because probably both a
Speaker 1: couple of hypocrasy or is fluffy off the chain?
Speaker 2: You know a couple of weeks on the show Ago, Laura,
Speaker 2: you said this, don't fight on them because I know
Speaker 2: you and Matting before you and your husband Mammy Jay, Laura,
Speaker 2: you are farting machines. They walk around the house. It's
Speaker 2: a game who can and they have it tallyes. They
Speaker 2: fight on each other, They on each other. He's okay,
Speaker 2: I don't fight on he backed.
Speaker 1: Up into you. Sometimes he will like reverse into me
Speaker 1: and pretend like because he does this as like a
Speaker 1: nice affectionate thing as well. He gets my arms and
Speaker 1: he wraps my arms around him, will have a cuddle.
Speaker 1: But every so often he'll do it and he'll actually
Speaker 1: just fin in my lap because he's revulsed. It's discussed.
Speaker 1: So what do you think the kids are going to
Speaker 1: do if they see their parents thinking it's funny to
Speaker 1: fight on each other. I think they were setting a
Speaker 1: very bad example. But I stand by this. Farts are funny.
Speaker 1: They are funny. It is funny. You should not do
Speaker 1: it on your child. Okay. This is just opening up
Speaker 1: a can of worms that I don't think we need
Speaker 1: in our household.
Speaker 2: This is teaching me so much about parenting. It's it
Speaker 2: just flip flop based on what's funny.
Speaker 1: You just pick and choose. This is how you should
Speaker 1: behave except for if it's funny, and then that's fine.
Speaker 2: Okay. At the end of the day, Matt needs to
Speaker 2: stop fighting on his kids.
Speaker 1: Matt needs to stop fighting on everyone. I completely agree. Okay.
Speaker 1: And if you're listening to this and you come from
Speaker 1: child services, the kids are. I swear they're fine.
