Kylie Kelce’s old-school parenting rule: Mean what you say

Article arrow_drop_down

Kylie Kelce has never pretended to be a picture-perfect parent, and that honesty is exactly why fans continue to relate to her. The mother of four recently shared her no-nonsense approach to curbing bad language at home, revealing that when it comes to kids and cursing, she believes in consequences, not empty warnings.

During a recent episode of New Heights, hosted by her husband, Jason Kelce, and brother-in-law, Travis Kelce, Kylie opened up about how she handles swearing in their household. According to Kylie, when one of their children drops a curse word, she doesn’t rely on warnings alone; she follows through.

Her solution, you asked? the classic parenting move that many thought was long gone: washing a child’s mouth out with soap.

Cursing correctly, still cursing

Kylie recounted a moment involving their oldest daughter, Wyatt, who is six, after she casually used a swear word in what Kylie admitted was technically the “correct” context. While the moment was humorous in hindsight, Kylie explained that Wyatt immediately apologized because she knew exactly what consequence could follow.

Wyatt test-drove the word bitch – a couple times,” Kelce mentioned. “And she went, ‘Biiiiitch,’ and closed it really slowly and said it at the same time.

And as soon as I opened the door, she was like, ‘Sorry!’ Immediate buyer’s remorse. Immediate. Because she knew what was coming: It was a bar of soap.

The reason the method works, Kylie said, is simple: consistency. “You can’t do empty threats with kids,” the podcaster explained, noting that once parents fail to follow through, discipline loses its effectiveness. Wyatt’s instant remorse came from knowing her mom was serious, and that the soap wasn’t just a scare tactic.

Jason, who officially retired from the NFL earlier this year, joked during the podcast that he wasn’t sure the same strategy would be effective on older kids. Kylie, however, made it clear that adapting consequences doesn’t mean abandoning them altogether, even joking about escalating tactics if needed.

Adult words are not the same for everyone

Despite her strict stance on consequences, Kylie has been open about the fact that she doesn’t censor herself entirely around her kids. When she announced her own podcast, Not Gonna Lie, in late 2024, Kylie admitted she still curses regularly at home.

According to her, her children hear adult language daily, but they also understand there’s a clear difference between “grown-up words” and what’s acceptable for them to repeat.

That balance reflects Kylie’s broader parenting philosophy: honesty, accountability, and structure without pretending perfection exists. She and Jason, who married in 2018, are raising four daughters, Wyatt, Elliotte, Bennett, and Finnley, while navigating life in the public eye following Jason’s high-profile NFL career and Travis’ ongoing stardom.

Kylie’s approach resonated with listeners, many of whom praised her for keeping parenting real rather than polished. In a world full of gentle reminders and vague warnings, her stance was refreshingly direct.

Whether people agree with soap-in-the-mouth discipline or not, Kylie Kelce’s message was clear all kids thrive when boundaries are real, consequences are consistent, and parents stand by their word.

Mariners finally make their big offseason move, bolster infield by acquiring Brendan Donovan from Cardinals

With a little help from a familiar facilitator, the Seattle Mariners finally executed the deal they’d been pursuing all winter on Monday, acquiring Brendan Donovan from the St. Louis Cardinals. The deal is a three-way swap including the Tampa Bay Rays, Seattle’s most frequent trade partner during president of baseball operations Jerry Dipoto’s decade-long tenure leading the front office. After months of reports indicating Seattle’s interest in Donovan — and uncertainty about whether the Cardinals would actually part with him as part of their dramatic offseason of offloading — it’s fitting that the Rays’ surprise involvement helped push this deal across the finish line.Here’s the breakdown:AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementMariners receive: INF/OF Brendan Donovan (from Cardinals)Cardinals receive: RHP Jurrangelo Cijntje (from Mariners), OF Tai Peete (from Mariners), OF Colton Ledbetter (from Rays), Competitive Balance Round B Pick (currently No. 68, from Mariners), Competitive Balance […]
