Speaker 1: Hihart podcasts, Hear More Kiss podcast playlist, and listen live
Speaker 1: on the free iHeart app. Now, Britt, have you seen
Speaker 1: the trend that is currently going viral on TikTok and
Speaker 1: it is parents quizzing their kids on really toxic sayings
Speaker 1: that they probably heard when they were growing up, when
Speaker 1: they were kids from their own parents.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I sort of not gonna lie. I have seen it,
Speaker 3: but I usually scoop.
Speaker 2: Past them because the kid content is not hugely.
Speaker 1: It's not you, it's not in your sphere.
Speaker 2: But I've seen them.
Speaker 3: They're sort of like those scenes on like kids should
Speaker 3: be seen and not heard.
Speaker 2: It's that kind of stuff, isn't it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And you know what, I saw one of these
Speaker 1: about two weeks ago, and it was the first one
Speaker 1: that I saw, and the response was really really beautiful
Speaker 1: from the little kid, and it was kind of this
Speaker 1: gorgeous full circle moment from a mum who had obviously
Speaker 1: had a really rough childhood, who had probably heard all
Speaker 1: these things from her parents, and then she would say
Speaker 1: the start of a really toxic sentence that we probably
Speaker 1: have all heard growing up at some different point, and
Speaker 1: then her child had to answer them. Have a little
Speaker 1: listen to how this goes down. Children should be seen
Speaker 1: and happy.
Speaker 2: Go accent, Yeah, okay, I brought you into this world
Speaker 2: from the hospital.
Speaker 1: From the hospital.
Speaker 2: And the other one is stop crying.
Speaker 3: I'll give you kimmy.
Speaker 2: Oh, that's so sweet. It really is.
Speaker 1: It is so sweet. Okay. So I want to read
Speaker 1: you some of these other really toxic sayings that are
Speaker 1: kind of like make up these viral clips. One of
Speaker 1: them was I'm your parent, not your friend. Is the
Speaker 1: answer to that?
Speaker 2: Oh, I didn't even know what the answer maybe, and
Speaker 2: you need to quiz me on me.
Speaker 1: As long as you live under my roof, you will
Speaker 1: follow my rules. But it says, you know, they let
Speaker 1: the kids answer it. Another one is when you get
Speaker 1: to the store, don't touch anything, which I think a
Speaker 1: lot of parents probably still say to their kids.
Speaker 2: I don't think that's toxic, breaking you bought it.
Speaker 1: And the other one is just wait until your dad
Speaker 1: gets it's home.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: Some of these are probably worse than others. I think
Speaker 1: the one that everyone kind of knew where it was
Speaker 1: going was I'll give you something to cry about. One
Speaker 1: of the things that I have loved so deeply about
Speaker 1: becoming a mom is how much it can heal your
Speaker 1: inner child, how you get to parent in a way
Speaker 1: that maybe wasn't exactly how you were parented, or you
Speaker 1: learned from the lessons. And I tried to do this
Speaker 1: with my kids. I didn't get the same outcome. Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: now they didn't know the toxic sentences. But I asked Lola,
Speaker 1: she understood the assignment. I asked Lola things like I
Speaker 1: brought you into this world, and she would say so
Speaker 1: that you can love me, or so that kids can
Speaker 1: be loved. It was very sweet.
Speaker 2: And I asked Marley the same ones.
Speaker 1: And I said, I brought you into this world and
Speaker 1: she said to buy me toys.
Speaker 2: So goodwie. I really had a bit of a back
Speaker 2: that kind of like spun around on me.
Speaker 1: But I think it's really beautiful that sometimes we see
Speaker 1: these trends and TikTok things and usually they're exploiting kids,
Speaker 1: and this one just was a really beautiful, feel good moment.
Speaker 3: I mean, I totally get some of those scenes that
Speaker 3: they're problematic, but there are some of them that I'm like,
Speaker 3: that's fine, Like I.
Speaker 2: Don't see the big deal.
Speaker 3: Maybe that's because I grew up in a safe, loving home,
Speaker 3: and so when they were said to me, they weren't
Speaker 3: said with any maliciousness or violence or anger. I understand
Speaker 3: it's probably dependent on the home that you've grown up in.
Speaker 1: But I think your parents would have said children should
Speaker 1: be seen and not hurt.
Speaker 3: That they did say that the mum had four kids
Speaker 3: about eighteen months apart, each single one and get out
Speaker 3: of this, but she would.
Speaker 2: Say it more like she would never say it, as
Speaker 2: if we weren't allowed to speak.
Speaker 3: But it was definitely a saying that was thrown around,
Speaker 3: Hey if we were interrupting, Hey, kids, did it be.
Speaker 2: See not heard? But it was more of a I
Speaker 2: don't want to say in Jess.
Speaker 3: But Mum would have also said way too, father gets home,
Speaker 3: But that was more because we took the piece a little.
Speaker 2: Bit with Mum, like we pulled one over it. And
Speaker 2: it was more because Dad was a disciplinarian.
Speaker 3: We weren't like a smacking family or anything, but you
Speaker 3: just knew that, like Dad was the one that set
Speaker 3: the rules.
Speaker 2: So we could sort of like poor Mum when.
Speaker 3: I look back, like you're like, we really tortur like
Speaker 3: we were hard on her.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Some of these are way worse than others. I don't
Speaker 1: think any kids should ever know the ending of a center.
Speaker 1: I brought you into this world, so I can take
Speaker 1: you out of it.
Speaker 2: No, that's what I'm saying. Some of them, I totally get.
Speaker 1: Others.
Speaker 3: I'm like, we're being a bit like too much with it,
Speaker 3: you know, Cotton dwol Well.
Speaker 1: I just thought it was a really nice, feel good
Speaker 1: and maybe if you guys want to check it out,
Speaker 1: you can do it with your own kids and see
Speaker 1: how well your parents do.
