Kylie Kelce has very clear feelings about strangers who feel the need to comment on her parenting, and she hasn’t been shy about sharing them.
Appearing on the Sunday sports club podcast on March 29, the media personality and mother of four opened up to host Allison Kuch about what she called “unsolicited mom advice” and admitted that it triggers an “underlying anger” that she struggles to suppress.
She gave an idea of what she meant.
“For example, when people see you out with your child and they think, ‘They should wear a hat.’ I’m like, ‘You should mind your own fucking business.'”
She had an equally lively response, ready for comments about the socks.
“‘She should wear socks.’ It’s great, do you have any? Because the three pairs I brought with me, she already threw them away, so you do what you want with them.”
One of her daughters, she explained, became so difficult to keep her shoes on that Kylie eventually gave up altogether.
“I literally called her shoe-dini. We were losing a shoe everywhere we went. And I was like, ‘I’ve had enough. I’m not putting shoes on you anymore. F— shoes. You’re wearing socks now.’ And that’s it.”
Anyone who dared to comment on this decision was left out.
“I was like, ‘No, no, no one needs it. I don’t need it. You don’t need it. You don’t need this heat. Stay out of my kitchen. I’m fine.'”
When Kuch asked her what kind of comment would make her want to punch someone in the face, Kylie was typically blunt.
“Well, sometimes I just have this underlying anger when people want to give unsolicited advice, so most comments that are unwanted advice end up making me feel like I could solve this problem really quickly with a punch in the face.”
She described particular frustration with comments about taking children outside in cold weather, noting that most days she simply takes ten steps from the car to a Dunkin’ Donuts for what she calls a “sanity juice,” coffee.
“I need you to move so far away from me that you’re actually in a different zip code,” she says.
A separate category of comments that bothers her are what she calls “wait” remarks, things like warnings about upcoming sleep regressions or teething.
She said she tries not to make those kinds of comments herself, knowing they don’t always end up as expected.
“There are times when you make jokes with a mom, and sometimes you don’t succeed,” she said. “When people say that to me, I think it hits my eardrum violently.”
She added that she tries to give people grace, but acknowledged, “They’re tough.”
Kylie shares daughters Wyatt, 6, Elliotte, 5, Bennett, 3, and Finnley, known as Finn, with husband Jason Kelce. Finn will be one year old on Monday March 30.
