Kylie Kelce is getting candid about hearing her four children pick up swear words.
“They have cursed, but they know that it’s a grown-up word,” Kelce, 34, said on the Thursday, October 29, episode of her “Not Gonna Lie” podcast. “I curse in front of them on a daily basis. It’s really sucked the fun out of it.”
Kylie, who shares four daughters with husband Jason Kelce, noted that their eldest, Wyatt, is “the only one who has found” swearing to be “satisfying.” (Kylie and Jason, 38, are parents of Wyatt, 7, Ellie, 5, Bennett, 3, and Finn, 19 months.)
“She hasn’t done it in probably two years, but when she was maybe 4, there was one instance in particular where I could just tell she felt it to her core,” Kylie recalled. “Her sister was inside the house, and she was closing the door in her face, on purpose, ‘cause she’s the firstborn child. She’s closing the door slowly, and she goes, ‘Bitch’ and closed the door.”
Kylie believes Wyatt “latched on to the word” since she seldom heard her parents use it.
“It’s not a word I use very often, like, it’s just not,” Kylie stated. “I think it made it more exciting for her, like, she would never say, ‘F***.’ She said, ‘Mom uses that every other word. It’s not exciting at all.’ She’s like, ‘S***? Mom says that nonstop, [it’s] not exciting. Bitch? Mom barely says that, and when she does, it’s usually exciting for Mom ‘cause I use it.’”
While Kylie acknowledged that Wyatt had an “absolutely flawless execution” of the word bitch, she made sure the toddler was clear not to repeat it at school or around other kids.
“I was like, ‘Hey.’ And she was like, ‘Grown-up word,’” Kylie quipped. “She knew, and I love her for it.”
Kylie said she doesn’t want to set rigid boundaries for her children that won’t apply to eventual adulthood.
“I think, to some degree, it also prepares them for life. The answer isn’t always going to be ‘yes’ in life, like, you can’t just always do what you want to do,” the podcaster explained. “And, especially children. So, in those moments, to know that there are boundaries like, ‘Mom can say that, Dad can say that, you can’t say that.’ Like, I can go out the front door freely, [but they] are not allowed to go out the front door without a grown-up. Very different experiences of life right now. When you’re older, let the f***ing F-bombs fly!”
