WEBVTT - MINI! Laura’s husband Matty J has a questionable parenting technique 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:04.040
<v Speaker 1>So Matt, my beautiful partner, he has a new parenting

0:00:04.080 --> 0:00:06.840
<v Speaker 1>technique which I don't think I agree with. And now, look,

0:00:06.880 --> 0:00:08.800
<v Speaker 1>I agree with a lot of the things that he does.

0:00:08.840 --> 0:00:10.720
<v Speaker 1>I think we're very much on the same page when

0:00:10.760 --> 0:00:13.040
<v Speaker 1>it comes to how we raise our girls. But this

0:00:13.119 --> 0:00:16.840
<v Speaker 1>is something that I don't really and can't get behind.

0:00:17.600 --> 0:00:20.960
<v Speaker 1>So Matt has said recently that if the best way

0:00:21.040 --> 0:00:23.119
<v Speaker 1>to kind of show a kid that they shouldn't do

0:00:23.680 --> 0:00:25.840
<v Speaker 1>or behave in the way that they're behaving is to

0:00:25.840 --> 0:00:28.720
<v Speaker 1>do it back to them. So if they're pushing their sister,

0:00:29.000 --> 0:00:31.760
<v Speaker 1>just give them a little push. If they're being mean

0:00:31.880 --> 0:00:33.839
<v Speaker 1>or they're like whatever it is that they're doing, obviously

0:00:33.880 --> 0:00:35.640
<v Speaker 1>don't push them hard. It's not what I'm saying, guys.

0:00:35.720 --> 0:00:38.600
<v Speaker 1>But if they're doing something that's mean on repetition, doing

0:00:38.640 --> 0:00:41.320
<v Speaker 1>that behavior back to them shows them that it's not

0:00:41.440 --> 0:00:43.839
<v Speaker 1>nice because the kids will then experience it themselves and

0:00:43.880 --> 0:00:46.239
<v Speaker 1>then they'll you know, consider maybe they shouldn't or they

0:00:46.240 --> 0:00:47.840
<v Speaker 1>should kind of, you know, change their behavior.

0:00:47.920 --> 0:00:50.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeadicine, Yeah, old, how does that feel?

0:00:50.840 --> 0:00:54.600
<v Speaker 1>Not nice? Is it? Yeah? Exactly right. So this played

0:00:54.600 --> 0:00:58.720
<v Speaker 1>out recently in our household. Mollie May was sitting Molly

0:00:58.760 --> 0:01:01.000
<v Speaker 1>May's for she was sitting on Matt's lap and they

0:01:01.000 --> 0:01:04.280
<v Speaker 1>were like playing a game, and then she farted on

0:01:04.360 --> 0:01:07.759
<v Speaker 1>him and then started laughing and ran away. And now look,

0:01:08.120 --> 0:01:10.840
<v Speaker 1>I I mean it was disgusting. She shouldn't fart on

0:01:10.840 --> 0:01:12.760
<v Speaker 1>a dad. She thought it was very funny, like she

0:01:12.800 --> 0:01:14.959
<v Speaker 1>intentionally did, like oh yeah, yeah, like she'd stored it up.

0:01:15.000 --> 0:01:17.720
<v Speaker 1>And then it was like no, no, not even remotely.

0:01:17.880 --> 0:01:20.600
<v Speaker 1>She like aimed and fired straight out of dad. Half

0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:22.920
<v Speaker 1>an hour passes and Mally and I are having a

0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:25.640
<v Speaker 1>cuddle on the couch and Matt walks over and he

0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:27.360
<v Speaker 1>farted on our four year old.

0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:33.920
<v Speaker 2>Oh no, can you did put his body where it passed?

0:01:34.440 --> 0:01:36.720
<v Speaker 1>He very close to her, and he farted on her

0:01:36.760 --> 0:01:40.399
<v Speaker 1>legs ye, and then he ran away laughing, and she

0:01:40.520 --> 0:01:48.840
<v Speaker 1>started crying. And now looks from the standard laughing, I

0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:50.960
<v Speaker 1>don't think this is funny, Okay, I think it's terrible,

0:01:50.960 --> 0:01:57.560
<v Speaker 1>because yes, he's disgusting, and I'm sure someone's going to

0:01:57.600 --> 0:01:57.880
<v Speaker 1>be like.

0:01:57.880 --> 0:01:58.760
<v Speaker 2>That's not fair.

0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:01.160
<v Speaker 1>You can't do that to children, and somebody saved them.

0:02:01.440 --> 0:02:04.080
<v Speaker 1>But look, on one hand, yes, I think it was

0:02:04.080 --> 0:02:05.760
<v Speaker 1>a very effective way of teaching her that.

0:02:05.760 --> 0:02:06.280
<v Speaker 2>It's not nice.

0:02:06.320 --> 0:02:08.640
<v Speaker 1>To fart on people. But on the other hand, I

0:02:08.720 --> 0:02:10.840
<v Speaker 1>don't think that this can be the benchmark for how

0:02:10.880 --> 0:02:11.960
<v Speaker 1>we parent our children.

0:02:12.320 --> 0:02:16.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm not opposed to like teaching a kid like you

0:02:16.919 --> 0:02:19.200
<v Speaker 2>know that doesn't feel nice, doesn't like if they pull

0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:21.160
<v Speaker 2>someone's hair, give them a little tug it doesn't hurt, like.

0:02:21.160 --> 0:02:22.079
<v Speaker 1>I'm not opposed to that.

0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:25.639
<v Speaker 2>But the thing I find funny here, Laura, is your

0:02:25.680 --> 0:02:30.000
<v Speaker 2>opinion on this, right, So you're really against matt coming

0:02:30.040 --> 0:02:31.919
<v Speaker 2>and farting, and you're like, you can't do that. It's

0:02:31.919 --> 0:02:35.560
<v Speaker 2>disgusting fight on a four year old. Do you remember

0:02:35.600 --> 0:02:39.320
<v Speaker 2>on the show Laura talking about what she thinks about faring.

0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:41.880
<v Speaker 1>Back to me, Yeah, I can smell the hypocrisy or

0:02:41.880 --> 0:02:44.120
<v Speaker 1>did you just let one out? Because probably both a

0:02:44.200 --> 0:02:47.079
<v Speaker 1>couple of hypocrasy or is fluffy off the chain?

0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:49.160
<v Speaker 2>You know a couple of weeks on the show Ago, Laura,

0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:51.720
<v Speaker 2>you said this, don't fight on them because I know

0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:54.959
<v Speaker 2>you and Matting before you and your husband Mammy Jay, Laura,

0:02:55.760 --> 0:02:59.200
<v Speaker 2>you are farting machines. They walk around the house. It's

0:02:59.240 --> 0:03:01.360
<v Speaker 2>a game who can and they have it tallyes. They

0:03:01.360 --> 0:03:05.239
<v Speaker 2>fight on each other, They on each other. He's okay,

0:03:05.280 --> 0:03:06.840
<v Speaker 2>I don't fight on he backed.

0:03:06.639 --> 0:03:09.440
<v Speaker 1>Up into you. Sometimes he will like reverse into me

0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:11.360
<v Speaker 1>and pretend like because he does this as like a

0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:13.760
<v Speaker 1>nice affectionate thing as well. He gets my arms and

0:03:13.760 --> 0:03:15.640
<v Speaker 1>he wraps my arms around him, will have a cuddle.

0:03:15.800 --> 0:03:17.840
<v Speaker 1>But every so often he'll do it and he'll actually

0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:20.280
<v Speaker 1>just fin in my lap because he's revulsed. It's discussed.

0:03:21.480 --> 0:03:22.919
<v Speaker 1>So what do you think the kids are going to

0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:25.040
<v Speaker 1>do if they see their parents thinking it's funny to

0:03:25.080 --> 0:03:27.040
<v Speaker 1>fight on each other. I think they were setting a

0:03:27.120 --> 0:03:31.040
<v Speaker 1>very bad example. But I stand by this. Farts are funny.

0:03:31.160 --> 0:03:34.440
<v Speaker 1>They are funny. It is funny. You should not do

0:03:34.480 --> 0:03:37.040
<v Speaker 1>it on your child. Okay. This is just opening up

0:03:37.040 --> 0:03:39.280
<v Speaker 1>a can of worms that I don't think we need

0:03:39.320 --> 0:03:39.960
<v Speaker 1>in our household.

0:03:40.040 --> 0:03:42.000
<v Speaker 2>This is teaching me so much about parenting. It's it

0:03:42.120 --> 0:03:43.760
<v Speaker 2>just flip flop based on what's funny.

0:03:43.920 --> 0:03:46.840
<v Speaker 1>You just pick and choose. This is how you should

0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:48.760
<v Speaker 1>behave except for if it's funny, and then that's fine.

0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:50.240
<v Speaker 2>Okay. At the end of the day, Matt needs to

0:03:50.240 --> 0:03:51.360
<v Speaker 2>stop fighting on his kids.

0:03:51.400 --> 0:03:54.080
<v Speaker 1>Matt needs to stop fighting on everyone. I completely agree. Okay.

0:03:54.080 --> 0:03:55.520
<v Speaker 1>And if you're listening to this and you come from

0:03:55.560 --> 0:03:57.520
<v Speaker 1>child services, the kids are. I swear they're fine.
