And what better buddy than a turtle? We have four kids. Stop trying to get me to have more. Sometimes the laundry baskets are heavy. And again, we get into the whole like bicep curl situation. Yum. How many times can I say yum thinking about my husband doing chores? He might be the stone cold killer we're looking for. Not gonna lie. I'm pretty excited about this Sixers season. So let's get this podcast started. Welcome back to a special solo episode of Not Gonna Lie, a wave original brought to you by Allstate. A lot of the real ones in the comments of our Backstreet Boys episode said it was going to be tough to follow them. And honestly, yes. So we said, fuck it. You get nobody this week. You're stuck with me. Just me and whatever creatures come through that door. So excited. That's right. I'm your host, Kylie Kelsey. It's officially our third NFL training camp where Jason is no longer playing. And that's lovely. It really is because it means that he doesn't have to move out. I really like having my husband with me. And also, he's not going head to head with other, let's say, 250, 300 pound men on a daily basis. You know, I'm also an enjoyer of ferrets, but not mice. I want to emphasize that. Not mice. Yuck. You know, if the PSPCA does have mice for adoption, they cannot, they're not actually invited. It turns out we have plenty here because we don't have a cat. And I'm a big fan of cats. I'm a big fan of the newest member of the Philadelphia 76ers. I mean, who isn't? It's LeBron James. Or should I say? Oh, thank you. Nailed it. Thank you, Queen Emma. I'm excited about this. I, we've been waiting. We've been waiting for quite some time. Feeling pretty good about the Sixers season. Now. Yes, that feels better. We found out while we were at the shore and after it was announced, I'm not exaggerating. Maybe two hours later, the, if you've ever been to the, if you've never been to the Jersey shore, one of the things that is a staple is the banner planes that fly across the Jersey. The coast is banner in particular said, welcome King number 23. Here's how I look at this. LeBron is a goat, right? He is one of the best to ever do it. If not the best to ever do it. And ultimately him coming to Philadelphia feels to me like he's saying this is a really good chance to win. Now I'm saying it in a slightly noncommittal way. Because I'm superstitious and I refuse to be the reason, you know what I mean? But here's the other side to look at that. He is so knowledgeable about the game. Opponents he's had guys he's played with guys he he's played against for him to look at Philadelphia and think that. I'm not going to say I feel really good about it, but. I like our odds. Very thrilled about it, so I would like to welcome the James family in Philadelphia if you guys need any recommendations. I got you Mrs. James, Savannah, we would like to officially invite you on to NGO. Don't be silly guys. We've done it before. But this time we could do it in person in Philly. Maybe we could get some good Philly staples. I'll bring you a stocks pound cake. Maybe some Angelo. There's pizza and a cheese steak, but I'm so excited to have you guys here and the Philly area welcomes you with excited and open arms. And go Sixers. Hell yeah. All right, that's it for the Philly LeBron talk for now. Can't promise it won't come up again. Coming up on today's episode, it's solo. Is it a spectacular? It's a solo spectacular as Queen Emma. Queen Emma. Cannot help herself. Queen Emma thinks it's a solo spectacular, which means we loaded up on questions from the real ones about everything we got. What my kids think I do for a living. Oh, no. Top five things that can suck my ass and advice. I'm definitely not qualified to give because you shouldn't ask for my advice. Really? Most times I should not give advice. I'm also going to talk about how fucked up it is that I just got off the emotional roller coaster of Wyatt going to kindergarten. And now I'm about to do it all over again with Elliot. I'm thrilled. I'm thrilled. I'm so excited to do that again. Plus, I'm going to be joined by more adoptable animals right here in the studio. And I have no idea what kind because Queen Emma wouldn't tell me. I know we said we were going to do this segment monthly, but then we said, why the fuck not? But before we get to all that, I wanted to start the show with some real one comments of the week. But these comments are actually more deserving of a, you know, what's fucked up. One second. My orthodontist is calling. Hello. Hi, Megan. I'm OK. How are you? I'm so sorry. Yep. Every night. OK, bye. They're great. I love them. I lost my retainers. That's my favorite podcast interruption I think we've ever had. You know, it's fucked up. Oh, hey, I'm sorry. It's my orthodontist. Hold on. I'm 34 years old. Hey, you know, it's fucked up commenting on women's bodies. That's it. That's the whole thought. But specifically commenting on the possibility of a pregnancy. And I don't know how many times we have to go over this. We've done it on TikTok. We've done it here on the show. And therefore, we've done it on Instagram and I think all other social media platforms. Let's dive in. And I would just like to point out this is one of the many reasons why I do not read comments. I had no idea this was happening. I had no idea. I mean, ignorance is bliss, guys. There were a few of these comments left on the photos from my Paris trip. So I guess people need a reminder. The first comment says at NGL with Kylie is. Is it the dress or is that a little baby bump? Oh, nope. Don't worry, it gets worse. The next comment said, I see a baby bump that was confident. Confidence. Okay. The next one says she's pregnant with four question marks. Oh, first of all, hell no. I have four children, four. Four. If you're confused, I have four. I have so many kids that over the last week, I've had three different people forget that I had four kids and thought I had three. Okay. I have so many kids that one's getting forgotten somewhere along the way. Okay. People are like, how didn't you just have Wyatt? I'm like, thanks for saying that. Then I had three more. Pete, I have four children. We have four kids. Stop it. That's between me, my husband and my motherfucking uterus. Second of all, second, yep. You thought I was going to be done. No, I'm not. Here's the thing. When your body stretches out to accommodate. Growing. A human being. It's not necessarily going to go back to the way it was. Even more so. I have organs. And they go in there. That's where they live their life. Okay. Now, am I 100% pre-baby body? No, because that's never happening. And that's okay. Because I have. Made for human beings. I can't believe that we are still out here looking at someone in a dress that is not a fitted dress and saying that's a baby bump. That's that's there's a, there's a, there's something there. There's a bump and there's something there. Cut it out. Stop what you're doing. Stop it. Stop it. We don't need to do that anymore. We don't because here's the thing. Okay. even if, which I am not. Even if I was with child, that is between me and my husband to decide when we would like to share that information. Why are you in the comments guessing off the shape of this dress? And I would also like to point out that a lot of people in the comments that I did read said that they liked this dress. And more importantly, I liked this dress. Guys, we got to cut this out. We got to stop this. Here's the thing. I think that unless someone is cupping their belly in a photo, that we should just assume that we're not going to talk about it. Whether it's, happening, not happening, kind of, somewhat, a little bit, maybe. Unless you tell me that you are pregnant, you say the words, I have a baby in my belly, or you are cupping your belly. That's your body. And it is existing. And I'm not going to form an opinion or a rumor about it. Cut the show. Now that I've given my quarterly reminder, I'm in the perfect headspace to do a, you know what's fucked up? Double feature. Hey, you know what's also fucked up? I just barely got through my first baby going to kindergarten. And now I'm already just weeks away from my second doing the same thing to me. Why do they want to leave? Why do they always want to leave you? To be fair, my second is the one who told me she would never leave me. Ellie has told me that she's going to live with us forever. Jason doesn't necessarily agree with this, but I think that we had four kids to better our odds of at least one never leaving us. Now, I say this 75% joking. I'm 75% joking because, of course, I want our kids to go out and be contributing. I want them to be members to society. And I want them to go out and make the world a better place. And I want them to go out and have drive and ambition. And I want them to go and do amazing things. But also, I want them to come home as often as possible. And I want them to visit me. And I want them to spend time with me. And I want to know about their lives. And I want to be involved in it in an appropriate, healthy way. But don't leave me. I don't like it. I don't like it one bit. And I told you last year, the problem that I have with kindergarten is that when they go to a full day of kindergarten, they're leaving you forever. That's the logical response, right? No, it's not. But that's what my brain thinks. It thinks that they start kindergarten and then they're in school all day, five days a week for the rest of their lives until they leave you. And now Ellie's going to do it. She's really excited about it. And that is what I'm trying to focus on. That's always what I try to focus on because I don't want to ruin something for our kids because I have my own thoughts and feelings. We're going to be fine. Now, when Finn goes to kindergarten, no. I will not be fine. Then I will indeed not be fine. Even in the fine sense of like, we're fine. It's fine. Everything's fine. And like, you know, it's on fire behind you. It's not even going to be that kind of fine. I am on record saying that Elliot is, I think, our sweetest child. And by that, I just mean when she was five weeks old. This is not an exaggeration. When she was five weeks old, she smiled at us on purpose consistently. And anybody, that has we humans knows that that's too early. That doesn't happen that early. Typically it's between six and eight weeks that they start smiling at you. And usually it's like few and far between. She was the sweetest, happiest little baby. She was just so sweet and happy. And so I want her to stay as sweet and loving and as innocent as possible. She last night went to walk past Finn's door when Finn had already been put to bed. And she, she whispered to the door, "Good night, Finn," and then kissed the door. I am interested to see whether or not she turns around and waves to me, because if you have forgotten why it did not. She did not turn around. She went straight in as if the Uber had dropped her off and she was headed into the bar for a good time. Not even a glance. We'll see if Ellie looks back. You got to stay tuned for that. I'll keep The Real Ones updated on this when we do our back to school special in September. For now, I'm going to distract myself with some unhinged questions from The Real Ones and ask me some things because Ask Me Anything needed boundaries. Ask Me Some Things is brought to you by DoorDash. We're going to do it rapid fire because you guys know I'm really good at that. Can we make Queen Emma happy? Probably not. We'll see. We'll try our best. First up, what do the girl girls think you do? Do they know what a podcast is? Are kids know the word podcast? I don't think they actually know what it is. Bennett just today said, "Are you going to do podcasts?" And I said, "Yes, I am." She goes, "From the house?" I said, "Yes, from the house." She said, "Okay. You'll be back soon." I said, "Yes, I will be." So they know that I do podcasts. They also know that I coach. And then sometimes we just give a blanket statement of mom and dad are going to work and we don't really give details. So I don't necessarily know that any of them would be able to tell you exactly what we do. I know that if you were to ask the girls what dad does, they would say, "I think they would be able to tell you that he talks about football on TV." And I think that they would also be able to tell you that he makes a podcast with Uncle Trap. I will say recently Jason cracked the code because he wanted to put something on the TV and Wyatt said to him, "Is this for work? Because if it's for work, I'll let you watch it." And he said, "Yes, it is for work." And she said, "Okay, fine." And then he proceeded to watch golf with absolutely no one telling him to turn it off. Which was kind of crazy. I don't know how long that's going to last, but I think he should exploit it as much as humanly possible because it might be the only way that he gets to watch what he wants to watch. And I respect the hustle. Hopefully none of our kids will get into the family business of podcasting. I hope none of them will. I'm hoping they forget I ever did this like, it was like a fever dream. Like, "Mom, podcast, no, it didn't happen." And then there's this thing called the internet where the clips live forever and they're going to be able to look this all up. So, yucks. Benny does not still have her podcast and she has not been podcasting recently, but I should ask her about that. Maybe she's just on a hiatus. The next question says, "I want three kids, but my husband wants to stay with two. What would you say to convince?" Oof. This might get me into the, you guys might not like my answer territory again. This is a great question. Here's what I'll say. It takes two to tango, you know? So you're going to have to get him on board if you want three children. I think you should ask him what his reasons are. There could be a situation here where as the woman who experiences pregnancy, you might have a mental block of the amnesia that we all get and think that it's exactly what you want and it's got to be amazing. And he might have a really good point. He might. It might be like, "We're going to have to get a new car because we can't fit the car seats." It might be, "We always talked about having two and suddenly you're flipping the script." And it might be that you miss a baby. Now, this is all me trying to play devil's advocate here. I shouldn't give advice on this, but I'm going to give, this is my advice. I think you should hear your husband out. And I think you should have a lengthy discussion about why his reasons are shit. And then I think you should go for the third kid. No, I'm kidding. I'm a little kidding. I'm a little bit kidding. I think you should talk about it more. Here's what I do know. I know that every child my husband and I have had has been an understanding between the two of us because it's our family that we are building together. So I think a really good conversation about why he is hesitant about a third child and why you feel strongly about a third child would be the best move forward. From Nikki Reads and Reps, this next question says, which girl has Uncle Trav most tightly wrapped around her finger? This is a good question. I think it changes. I think that sometimes. I don't know. I think it changes. I think that they all know that he is very down for anything to do or play. He's in it. So they know that he's a willing participant and very rarely get a no. So typically, when they see Uncle Trav, it's everybody in. I would say the only person that does not have Uncle Trav wrapped around their finger is Finn. And that's because Finn wants nothing to do with anybody but mom and dad. Sometimes dad. Sometimes not dad. She's. Yeah, just not Finn. Uncle Trav doesn't have Finn. That's it. But that's just because Finn is mom's child. Yeah, I don't think I've. I know you guys want a specific answer, but I think it's all of them. I think Wyatt, Ellie, and Benny all full court press him whenever they see him to just, now we're playing. I would say the two older girls are more into the type of all-in. Play that both dad and Uncle Trav play. And Uncle Trav will get down on the floor and play a quiet game of Barbies, but he will do like the throw, launch, all that stuff. And the two older girls are more into that. Bennett is. She's a lady and she has pearls and she can't be bothered with that type of play. And last question until part two from Allie. This question says, what is the sexiest chore for a guy to do? Is it not the laundry? Personally? I would say taking out the trash. Taking out the trash is the hottest for me because, I mean, first of all, it's pretty selfless. I mean, the trash is literal trash. Yuck. You know? But have you seen their arms when they do that? I mean, I can only speak for my own husband, but like when he takes out the trash and he like lifts, it's like a full bicep curl. And I'm just like, wow. Look at that. Would you look at that? Doing the dishes? Great. Because my husband's tall and when he bends over, it like emphasizes the sides of his shoulders. Yum. Am I right? Don't answer that about my husband. Answer it about yours. Cut that out. Don't think about my. Stop thinking about my husband like that. What other chores? I don't know. Vacuuming. It's kind of nice because like, you know, you get to watch their butt across the room. Laundry? Sure. Laundry? Oh, because sometimes the laundry baskets are heavy. Yum. On the real though, he, my husband is not allowed to do the dishes. First of all, his shoulders doing that. I don't think I could. I'm, I think that that should not happen in our house. Because like I said, four is cool. We're good on four right now. The other thing is that I actually don't like the way he washes his dishes. So how about that? Maybe, maybe just let your husbands know that all of the tasks are really hot. And they should do them. You know what's hot? Picking up the dog shit in the backyard. Scoop that shit. Am I right? Am I right, ladies? Yes. Go scoop it. Woo. So let your men know. Maybe try it. See what happens. I'm just saying. I was going to say you might get lucky, but that's too, that's too direct. Is it? I don't know. You're welcome, ladies. Show that to your men. That's it for Ask Me Some Things Part One brought to you by DoorDash. When we come back, I'm going to be joined by multiple surprise adoptable animals from the PSPCA. You don't want to miss this. Being a person is tough enough these days, let alone being a parent. That's why I use DoorDash because when life gets crazy, DoorDash just helps bring some order to it. Like this past week, when we were trying to work on an art project, guess what? We didn't have a single piece of paper. I mean, we had paper. We didn't have paper. We didn't have paper, but they were scrap pieces. And Ellie thought that that was completely unacceptable. So you know what I did? I DoorDashed the paper. And then we were able to do our paintings on paper that was not going to melt at the amount of water that we like to use for that. I guess technically it was watercolors. You get what I mean. We needed paper, and DoorDash had my back. So DoorDash came in clutch with that one. Real life needs real relief. That's why DoorDash is there for whatever you need, whenever you need it. Life with kids is unpredictable. No matter how much parents try to plan, there's always going to be chaos. Being able to offload a few to-dos and give a little more time to focus on yourself and your family is huge. We know life gets crazy. DoorDash just helps bring a little order to it. Order now. The place you call home is important to you. So it's important to Allstate because home is where you make all your memories. Like when putting the girls to bed magically turns into a full-blown concert of sea shanties sung by my husband. That's something you'll never forget. If it's important to you, it's important to Allstate. Switch to Allstate and you could save hundreds on home insurance today. Not available in every state. Potential savings vary. Subject to terms and qualifications. Allstate, North American Insurance Company and affiliates, Northbrook, Illinois. I'm back, and so is my all-time favorite segment. Real ones know this segment. It was called Adoptable Animals of the Month last week, but honestly, I couldn't wait another 30 days. So I get more creatures right here. So we're going to call this Adoptable Animals of the Week. Adoptable Animals of the Week brought to you by Allstate. Yeah. You know, I shouldn't have a line to animals that need homes. I shouldn't be allowed to do that, but we do it anyway because Queen Emma likes to watch me practice self-control when I let them leave. It's the craziest phenomenon. I actually have let all of them leave, and I'm proud of myself for that. Eventually, guys, I'd say I can't keep the streak alive. But real quick, before we bring the animals in, I'm very happy to announce that all four animals from last week got adopted. Here's Snoopy with his new family who drove all the way down from Jersey City to get him. Breeze the bunny and Salmon Noodles all found their forever homes. So shout out to the real ones for making sure that no one was hanging out at the shelter this week after we called you guys out. A little call to action to get these guys into their forever homes. I hope that you guys live happily ever after. Okay. Queen Emma wants me to intro this segment, but I already got out of my chair. So now I'm going to get on the floor because we have a puppy dog here. His name is Rusty, and he's a miniature poodle. And he is, you guessed it, rust colored. And he, did I say he's eight years old yet? He's eight years old. He was brought to the PSPCA through the PSPCA law enforcement. He showed up with an orbital ulcer and had to have his eye removed. And he was brought to the PSPCA through the PSPCA law enforcement. So he's in a constant state of wink. Okay. How cute is that? You are so cute. Hi. Oh, hello. So this is a fresh, this is, he just had his eye removed last week. So he's still getting used to it. You could get used to it together. If you adopt him right now, you could do that. He's perfect size, fun size, if you will. He wants a house with medium activity. He's fine with cats. I'm sure about kids, yeah. But a meet and greet, we'll always figure out whether or not he would be comfortable in your home with your kids. And also, maybe just maybe get rid of the kids. I'm kidding. Look straight down the barrel, Rusty. We're going to get you adopted. We have a really great adoption rate. Look at how sweet he is. And he hasn't moved just because I'm petting him. Guys. Team. Squad. Look at his little face. Guys, are you kidding? He said, he said, hey, cutie. Didn't you? He's a good boy. He was a good boy. He is a good boy. Yeah. You just want a home. he would he be cool with other dogs he likes other dogs so if you have a dog but that dog better be sweet to him tell the other dog that i will have words with them if they are not sweet to rusty oh can that be our christmas card okay rusty i feel like you've made a really good case for yourself and you are sweet boy and you might be a pirate are you ready to take rusty home

okay you can't you can you can you can paint a room that color i just think it might be better off not to do the whole room that's wild i'm trying to be supportive but i saw the color and i saw what you did and That comment section is outstanding. And just another clear example as to why you should always sprint to the comments. Next scroll. As someone who's declared herself to be a cool aunt on this very podcast, because I'm hip. Yep. This specific trend could not be more spot on for me. Queen of the clip. Your once wild auntie picks you up from a party you're at. Oh, you're not supposed to be at. Yes. Nikki Marie, one of my favorite human beings, really in general, but also creating content is in this clip. At first she's saying, to her niece or nephew, get over here. We're leaving. And promptly gets sucked in by the music because it's great. And this is a risk that my nieces and nephews are going to have. Coming from someone who was once at a bar that was playing country, which if you love country music, I apologize. It is not my genre of choice. I was once at a bar with country music and walked outside for a minute and heard from across the street down a little bit, some early 2000s hip hop and R&B and literally Irish goodbye. The first bar went straight to the bar that was playing the music I liked and literally danced my way into the door. I can't help myself. I can't help myself at all. And therefore I cannot be held responsible for the moves that I unleash when I'm picking your ass up from a party you're not supposed to be at. I think Trav knows what he and Jason were doing. And I think that Travis would absolutely pick someone up from the party and may or may not tell us about it. He might tell Jason and not me. I'm actually in that situation, I wouldn't give a shit because I would actually feel better about the fact that they called a responsible adult to pick them up. So I actually, first choice, don't go to the party with underage drinking. Knowing that that's probably not a reality. Second choice, call a responsible adult to pick you up. So that's literally a second best option. And I will take it. Okay. And lastly, a series of badass stats I saw last night about the WNBA. I literally, really couldn't just scroll past. According to the gist, 19,783 fans attended the 2026 WNBA all-star game over the weekend, setting a new attendance record. And to put that into perspective, the NBA all-star game had 15,973 fans in attendance. So I'm just going to leave that with you in case you wanted to know. And while I'm reading impressive stats, the 2026 WNBA season is already the league's most important year in the history of the NBA. So I'm going to take a look at the stats. Most watched season ever, and we're only halfway through. That's crazy. The league has reached 73 million total viewers, 10 million more than all of 2025. This is so cool. And I know we talk about this frequently, but we haven't talked about it in a little while. So we're going to say it again. Watching women's sports right now is so exciting. There has never been a time where women's sports has had the focus on them. The way they do right now, and they have earned it, and they continue to earn it. And that's amazing. And the more that we show support with viewers and with attendance, we are only putting our money where our mouths are and making sure that the players who are absolutely elite women athletes are being paid appropriately. So do your part. This is amazing. We are part of a movement right now that is putting women's sports on the forefront. They are in focus, and it's so much fun that we get to be the generation watching it. Hell yeah. Women's sports are exciting, and you can't deny it because look at us go. I love this.

As a mom of four girls and a field hockey coach, I know how important it is not only for girls to play sports, but for them to thrive in them. Dove research shows that one in two girls quit sports by the age of 14 because of body shaming. You literally wouldn't be able to play a sport without your body being able to deliver, and we're going to shame them? I think not. I was always very tall, and although sometimes I forgot, people often reminded me. But you know what? My height came in clutch for field hockey. Having an almost six foot wingspan? I mean, no one was getting past me. I don't care how big your pole was. Sometimes I have to make sure that I have my ears open at practice, when I'm coaching, to make sure that girls are talking about their bodies, even self-talk, in a positive way, because that's where it all starts. Dove is championing girls' confidence and reminding the world that while body shaming can push girls out of sport, joy keeps them in the game. And they are backing this message through the Body Confidence Sport Program. This is a tool that everybody can benefit from. Your Dove purchase keeps girls in sports. Learn more about the Dove Body Confidence Sport Program and how to keep girls confident at Dove.com. Dove, keep her confident. And I'm back. And so is Ask Me Some Things, because Ask Me Anything was far too open-ended for some of you crazy mother. Okay. Once again, Queen Emma has a bunch of questions here. So in an effort to answer as many as I can, I'll try to do rapid fire. You saw how that worked out in the first part. Here we go. First up, what the fuck is protein milk? I just want to hear Kylie rant. Silly. It's silly. That's what it is. It's absolutely ridiculous. Drink some milk and then eat a fucking chicken cutlet. That was aggressive. And I stand by it. You know what? Screw it. I stand by it. Eat a chicken cutlet. Eat a hard boiled egg. Eat something. Chew something. Can we stop trying to drink it? Stop trying to drink protein. Eat it. Chew it. Chew your protein. Chew it in a chicken cutlet. Chew it in a hamburger patty. Chew it in a hard boiled egg. Chew your protein. Also, there's protein in milk. Cut it out. Cut it out. That's enough. Cut it out. Protein milk? God. I have to be honest. Protein milk doesn't piss me off nearly as much as protein pasta. Don't you bring that shit over here. Don't bring that shit over here. Protein pasta? Protein pasta. You're trying to taint my pasta with protein? Yuck. Do you know what you're supposed to pair pasta with? Meatballs. That's You know what else you're supposed to pair pasta with? Chicken cutlet. That's protein. Cut it out. cut it out. Oh, next question. Top five things that can suck your ass. Oh, I thought you wanted this to be rapid fire. Oh no. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Number one, lying. And that, that, that goes in on lying can suck my ass. Now this is coming from someone who says I lie to my children, but I won't lie to you guys. Children's different. We're trying to create like a magical situation for them and protect them because they're special. So doesn't apply lying. Um, that includes misleading headlines or clickbait. You nevermind. It was going to be aggressive. Um, I'm trying to do this rapid fire. Number two, the Dallas Cowboys queen has a little guest list here. She guessed what I would say. And she got the first two, right? You're correct. Those two things are absolutely on my suck my ass list. Um, the other, um, the other things, um, clothes that are not comfortable can suck my ass. All clothes that are not comfortable suck my ass. What else? Um, people who don't know how to treat animals suck my fat ass. How about that one? Uh, terrible. You're awful. Don't like it. Um people who bring who try to take other people down just to try and make themselves feel better Yuck suck my ass. That's the fastest I could make one. That's the fastest Um an honorable mention would be emma's last suggestion which is putting protein in fucking everything that also can get a suck my ass Because like I said eat a chicken cutlet That's that Okay, next question is more people asking me for advice for something i'm not qualified to give advice on but here we are so Um steph asked expecting our fourth. How do you give all the kids enough attention? Um, they're getting a girl after three boys. Well I'm still trying to figure this out steph and I think that The key is to make sure that you do things one-on-one with each and every child Just the other day I told you I took wyatt to come with me to pick up dinner a couple days before that I took bennett with me to get coffee in the morning Mixing it up and making sure you get that one-to-one time because wyatt and I had an absolutely lovely conversation on the way back That was a very important conversation to have and I don't think we otherwise would have had the one-to-one situation To be able to do that because you just get you get sort of locked into life and the routine of life So bath time with that many kids ends up like it's like a revolving door of kids into the bathtub or the shower And you get into these situations where it's sort of like everyone's around all the time So making those one-to-one efforts We have found are really important both jason and I try to be really intentional about that And we end up I think with really special moments where the kids talk about those things being positive experiences for a while afterwards um So I would say one-on-one experiences. That's it for our ask me some things questions this week. Keep them coming real ones We'll answer more in the future episodes All right This is a solo episode.
