Kylie Kelce is getting brutally honest about dealing with “unsolicited mom advice” as a parent of four.
“Like, when people see you out with your kid and they’re, like, ‘They should have a hat on.’ I’m, like, ‘You should mind your f***ing business,’” Kelce, 33, quipped on the Sunday, March 29, episode of the “Sunday Sports Club” podcast. “‘She should have socks on.’ That’s great, do you have any because the three pairs I brought with me, she already chucked, so you do with that what you will.”
Kylie and husband Jason Kelce are parents of four daughters: Wyatt, 6, Ellie, 5, Bennett, 3, and Finnley, who turns 1 on Monday, March 30.
“Sometimes I just have this underlying anger when people want to give unsolicited advice,” Kylie admitted to podcast host Allison Kuch, who is pregnant with her second baby. “The most comments that are unwelcome advice end up with me feeling, like, ‘I could fix this really quick with a punch in the face.’”
Without resorting to threats of physical violence, Kylie does get tired hearing “advice that’s not helpful” in her situation.
“It’s the unproductive [comments about] the socks, the hats [and] ‘they shouldn’t be out in this weather,’” she said. “It’s things like that where you’re just, like, ‘Actually, we’re going from the car 10 steps into this Dunkin Donuts so I can get what Mom calls sanity juice a.k.a. a coffee. I need you to get so far away from me that you’re actually in a different zip code.’”
Kylie also doesn’t like hearing the “just wait comments,” where another mom could tell her to expect better days down the line.
“The ‘just wait’ comments are really hard when you’ve been through that phase of motherhood and someone else is going through it,” the field hockey coach stated. “Sometimes it’s meant in a lighthearted way, but being a mom who has felt pretty much every phase of joy, the pitts, postpartum experience, there are times to make jokes with a mom. Sometimes you don’t hit it, and I do my best to not do the ‘just wait’ in a negative way.”
Kylie continued, “I try to give people as much grace as I can muster up at the time.”
Kylie and retired NFL star Jason, 37, have been married since 2017, often opening up about their lives as a growing family.
“We stay surrounded by family and friends, so we keep the people around us very close to us,” Kylie exclusively told Us Weekly in June 2024 of raising “humble” kids. “Then, we make sure that anything that we’re doing that they feel supported by their family and friends and then also not really putting them in any places of privilege.”
