Michelle got Kelly all the way together.

Kelly got gental parenting definition confused. Gental parenting is choosing not to yell at your kid for simple mistakes or kid like things. It has nothing to do with being their friend

I hear what Michelle is saying but I disagree. Being your child’s friend doesn’t mean you always want them to like you. I look at being a friend in addition to being a mom. Moms play many roles In their kid’s lives.

Also, guys realize Michelle didn't say your kids shouldn't like or trust you, she Said everything about parenting isn't going to be that, and you shouldn't worry about them liking you all the time.

@Cartershawnn i don't like the caption. they are two friends having a conversation. this caption makes it seem like it's two BW against one another and that is NOT the narrative

I agree with them both I think that as a parent you should be a trusted source someone they confide in comfortably about some stuff but also know that your role is to guide them through life and sometime that entails things they aren’t going to like we need to find a happy medium

I thought you were referring to Michelle Williams at first and was about to call you all types of names because that is completely false. 😩

Parent to friend relationship happen when the kids become adults. How many adults are "friends" with children? Exactly!! That sounds dumb. I ain't friends w/niece and nephews cuz they be taking my kindness to damn far! We cool but we ain't friends and we ain't pals!

What's the link to this interview I need to watch the whole thing

You don't want your kid to be so much of a friend to you that they don't have any respect for what you say. I think there has to be a good balance between the two. My father did this well. He was a great friend to us but we knew when we crossed the line and when to back up a bit.

It’s different for everybody . My Mom was always like “I’m your parent not your friend” but I knew deep down she was literally my best friend, but I respected her as my parent and didn’t cross her or bring it up. Now that I’m older we have an open friendship with little parenting
