00:37:04.239 --> 00:37:07.519 Um, what were your biggest important values to you? 00:37:07.599 --> 00:37:12.800 When because you kind of have hindsight where a lot of the people who listen to my podcast are kind of in the middle of it. 00:37:12.880 --> 00:37:16.559 So I think it's really nice to have perspective of people who are like, you'll get through it. 00:37:16.639 --> 00:37:17.440 It'll be okay. 00:37:17.599 --> 00:37:18.480 It's hard, you know. 00:37:18.559 --> 00:37:20.719 So tell us, we'll be okay, we'll get through it. 00:37:20.800 --> 00:37:25.440 Now, what were your what was most important to you as parents when you were raising your kids? 00:37:25.920 --> 00:37:37.840 I think um I think the hardest part is that they they'll constantly as as exhausting as it is, don't um don't give up. 00:37:38.079 --> 00:37:46.559 Uh it's you know, when that child, you know, even the little ones getting out of that time out chair for the hundredth time and putting them back there. 00:37:46.719 --> 00:38:05.119 I uh I think the takeaway is the most, the more you front load it when they're little, if you front load it and they know that you're boss and they know that, you know, I think children feel safer with the more parameters around them. 00:38:05.360 --> 00:38:12.159 And uh I know there's this huge gentle parenting wave going on, and I'm I'm not a fan. 00:38:12.320 --> 00:38:25.679 Um I feel that that they uh that they are looking for guidance from their parents and that they feel safer when those parameters are in place and when they

break those parameters. 00:38:25.920 --> 00:39:17.519 Yes, for the hundredth time, it is hard and exhausting, but that's my advice is when they are little, and and I'm yeah, like all the way up until you know their social peers are really putting the pressure on them that to instill that fear that that you mean business and to front load it uh, you know, is is because when they're teenagers and and you're and they're bigger than you, and they know you mean business, that the the you you get into this clever way of how you're going to take away privileges and uh following through with that because um because if you don't if you don't sort of lay lay that groundwork, um that then you're really in trouble when they become middle school and high schoolers. 00:39:17.599 --> 00:39:19.280 I it's hard to re-establish. 00:39:19.679 --> 00:39:27.840 It's really hard to to to tell them that you're the boss when you haven't been the boss for the first you know 10 years of their life. 00:39:28.079 --> 00:39:28.480 Yes. 00:39:28.639 --> 00:39:32.079 Um then good luck when when they're in the middle school and high school. 00:39:32.159 --> 00:39:33.360 I I agree. 00:39:33.599 --> 00:39:44.320 I I uh uh because it w it got a lot easier when they're in the high school when when you set when you set those parameters um up front when they were little. 00:39:44.559 --> 00:39:52.800 Um those those those early childhood elementary years are are vital with uh setting those rules and sticking to it. 00:39:53.039 --> 00:39:53.519 Sticking to it. 00:39:54.800 --> 00:39:57.360 I think a lot of people are just let it slack. 00:39:57.599 --> 00:39:57.920 Uh-huh. 00:39:58.079 --> 00:40:01.760 You know, and you're tired, and yeah, you know, you're like, oh, yep. 00:40:02.000 --> 00:40:05.679 But the front loading is is my my words of wisdom. 00:40:05.920 --> 00:40:07.760 I think those are excellent words of wisdom. 00:40:08.000 --> 00:40:10.239 I would tell you, I'm still a little bit afraid of my mother. 00:40:10.400 --> 00:40:10.880 A little bit. 00:40:10.960 --> 00:40:11.599 Yeah, a little bit. 00:40:11.760 --> 00:40:13.440 Lover, still a little bit afraid of her. 00:40:13.519 --> 00:40:16.639 Yeah, because that woman will follow through. 00:40:16.800 --> 00:40:18.559 So did a good job. 00:40:18.639 --> 00:40:19.599 I'm like, yes, yeah. 00:40:19.920 --> 00:40:21.360 Like, sorry, is my mom gonna find out? 00:40:21.920 --> 00:40:28.480 Yes, I uh I uh I am very proud of a couple uh the older one with the couple parties. 00:40:28.639 --> 00:40:38.960 He yeah, he told me he was gonna text me, and the and the texting had just come out, and he told me he was gonna text me when he got to this pool party and he forgot. 00:40:40.239 --> 00:40:41.599 Did you show up at the pool party? 00:40:41.840 --> 00:40:42.880 He certainly did. 00:40:43.119 --> 00:40:43.519 Hello. 00:40:45.199 --> 00:40:48.000 Your mom's making sure you got here. 00:40:48.320 --> 00:40:49.119 Yeah, yeah. 00:40:49.280 --> 00:40:51.679 He was oh, and he never did it again. 00:40:51.920 --> 00:40:53.519 I bet I bet he didn't. 00:40:53.679 --> 00:40:56.880 I I remember my mom one time, she was gonna take me somewhere. 00:40:57.039 --> 00:40:57.840 I couldn't drive yet. 00:40:58.000 --> 00:40:59.360 I was like 14 or 15 years old. 00:40:59.519 --> 00:41:03.679 And right when we were about to leave, her boss called and she worked at a preschool. 00:41:03.840 --> 00:41:07.679 And her boss was actually one of her very close friends too, but she was still her boss. 00:41:07.840 --> 00:41:09.039 And I answered the phone. 00:41:09.119 --> 00:41:12.880 And then when my mom got on the phone, I said, And can you hurry up? 00:41:12.960 --> 00:41:16.079 Like I have places to be, or something real snooty, like a 15-year-old. 00:41:16.559 --> 00:41:18.320 Yeah, my life almost ended. 00:41:18.400 --> 00:41:20.159 And that woman, that that boss came. 00:41:20.320 --> 00:41:22.159 Oh, so she was like, hang up the phone. 00:41:22.320 --> 00:41:24.719 And when she got, I was like, Oh, I'm probably in trouble. 00:41:24.800 --> 00:41:30.559 And when she got off the phone, she said, you know, this friend is coming over to drop something off, and you're going to apologize to her. 00:41:30.880 --> 00:41:38.480 And I was mortified because I had known her my whole life, but my mom was like, Come on down and look her in the face and apologize to her. 00:41:38.559 --> 00:41:39.519 And I think I cried. 00:41:39.599 --> 00:41:42.960 I was mortified, but I'm like, you know what I didn't do again? 00:41:43.199 --> 00:41:44.159 No, what I didn't do. 00:41:44.400 --> 00:41:54.960 So and that's the that's this my second answer to that question is instilling a conscience in these children that that that your mother did for you. 00:41:55.039 --> 00:42:23.920 Like that, the the this is um there are there's uh there's that that inner thought you want that child to have that inner that conscience so that they know it really feels bad when you're not when you did, you know, that that that you know, and even telling a lie or whatever, you know, that that they're that they have a conscience that they they're not, you know, that they're doing the right thing. 00:42:24.159 --> 00:42:24.400 Yeah. 00:42:24.639 --> 00:42:27.280 I think that's really hard in this day and age. 00:42:27.440 --> 00:42:27.679 Yes. 00:42:27.920 --> 00:42:34.000 Where the people that these children have no remorse about doing the wrong thing. 00:42:34.079 --> 00:42:35.360 And that's another thing. 00:42:35.679 --> 00:42:45.440 And people in the media and people on TV and athletes and people that they look up to are making poor decisions and sometimes being almost glorified for it. 00:42:45.519 --> 00:42:51.679 And it's hard to teach that lesson of like, no, we're gonna be good people, we're gonna tell the truth, we're not, you know. 00:42:52.000 --> 00:42:53.760 That's that's a hard one for sure. 00:42:54.000 -->

00:42:54.320 That's right. 00:42:54.400 --> 00:42:54.639 I agree. 00:42:54.880 --> 00:42:58.159 So instilling that conscience also is huge. 00:42:58.480 --> 00:43:04.320 I told my mom one time, and my dad, I mean, my dad is fabulous too, but he was at work and my mom was at home. 00:43:04.400 --> 00:43:06.159 So she was really the one kind of toeing the line. 00:43:06.239 --> 00:43:13.119 And when I was, I think in college, I was like, Mom, don't you know that I hear your voice every time I'm gonna make a decision that you wouldn't like? 00:43:13.280 --> 00:43:15.920 And she kind of like paused and got like a big smile on her face. 00:43:16.079 --> 00:43:16.960 She was like, You do? 00:43:17.119 --> 00:43:18.000 And I was like, Yep. 00:43:18.159 --> 00:43:20.320 And she was like, No, okay, great. 00:43:20.400 --> 00:43:22.320 And I was like, So you're always there, you know? 00:43:22.400 --> 00:43:25.599 Like I was like, no, I am hoping that my children also hear me. 00:43:25.679 --> 00:43:27.280 They'll be like, Oh, there she is again. 00:43:27.440 --> 00:43:29.920 There she is again, can't escape us, right? 00:43:30.159 --> 00:43:30.719 For sure. 00:43:30.960 --> 00:43:31.840 Absolutely. 00:43:32.079 --> 00:43:41.280 And Tim, would you like to tell us about some traditions other than the Friday night dance party, which I love, but some other traditions that shaped your family's culture as your kids were growing up?
