Two best pieces of dad advice: 1. Don't treat it like you're raising a kid; treat it like you're raising the adult they will become. 2. Explain things. Don't get angry at questions and don't EVER let any topic be taboo or off limits. You're their first line of defense from and info on the real world... for a little while at least.
Here's the best piece of parenting advice I ever heard. "You can't just TELL a kid to be a good person, or just punish them when they mess up. You have to SHOW THEM HOW."
This may fall under more husband/significant other advice rather than dad advice, but keep stress out of the family and vent to your friends instead. Shield your family from the stress. Obviously certain things need to be shared with the family but don't overshare, I made that mistake and it's one of my biggest regrets.
@@ComedyFace1Hey don't forget to let your kid make mistakes. Not major ones like crossing the street without looking. But little thing like hey don't pet that dog he may bite. Hey don't touch the stove it's hot. And stuff like that. It important for them to learn early to not do stupid or illogical things. And if you warn them before hand sooner or later they will start listening to you and your advice.
Yooo, this man keeps claiming that comedians are like rappers, so we gotta get him to watch 'George Carlin - Modern Man" he'd have a field day with that one
Bill didn't lie. I was raised the same way. Mom had discipline device in her purse that was used anytime, anywhere. The embarrassment itself was tragic, BUT deserved. Back then other parents just looked at my mom with approval.
Conan, ice cube, and Kevin Hart have a couple videos together where they share a Lyft and do a driving lesson. Def check it out. Also, you look like Jimmy Butler.
Brad Williams, the midget comedian Either his bit on Achondrophobia: Fun Sized Part 3 Or when he went to entertain soldiers in Afghanistan: Fun Sized Part 4
Oh, man... The acondrophobia bit is HILARIOUS. Brad is evil AF for that... And it just makes me wanna have a few beers with him and hear some of the stories he CAN'T tell on stage!
Something my Dad did when I was throwing a tantrum and crying in a grocery store when I was real little was he sat down next to me and started crying too and apparently baby me was not having it😂
I think the main thing is back when we were kids there were more expectations and accountability. Parents were far more present. Nowadays the parents are stuck in their phones just as bad as the kids. I honestly feel wholeheartedly that it's one of the biggest reasons kids act the way they do now. I've watched it with my own eyes a kid do something worthy of getting whooped bad and instead of any punishment or accountability they got handed a phone and told to be quiet. It's caused a huge lack of morals and values. The phones are raising the kids. It's a scary future and people wonder why mental problems are becoming so prevalent. A young mind needs structure, schedules, a sense of purpose, to be challenged and to absorb positive and empowering things in that sponge of a young mind.
The way I always interpreted "believe all women" was not to necessarily believe they are all telling the 100% truth, but to not ask questions or act in a way that would make them think you don't believe them, because if a woman says she was assaulted and you start asking where they were, what they were wearing, or saying you doubt that person would do that, it can be crushing to someone has been through an actual assault. You can think whatever you want in your head, but act as if what they are saying is true by offering your support and help. But the truth will come out at some point and that is what you should "believe".
That's basically it. Treat them seriously, but that doesn't mean believe everything they ever say no matter what. Anyone who says otherwise is just being dumb.
Give stern looks, raise your voice, and be strong, powerful, and confident in what you say and your actions when speaking and you won't have any problems.....my daughter is 9 and that's all I do and we almost never have to discipline her
So happy to hear one of my fav RU-vidrs likes Conan too! Whenever u have time u should check out: Conan hits the gym with Kevin Hart Conan tries old times baseball Conan Civil War reenactment.
@8:37. Dealing with HALF the audience laughing and the other laugh silent is a thing his friend Patrice O’Neil FOR SURE gave him some help on. There’s a bit of Patrice speaking on NEEDING HALF THE AUDIENCE UNCOMFORTABLE to progress as a stand-up comedian. It’s brilliant and maybe if you react to how Bill and Patrice used to be or how Patrice would DOMINATE the green room full of cemdians just roasting each other. That’d be a great reaction! 😂
Real talk from what I’ve seen im not African but ya families be cool asf Nigerian immigrants especially got the most welcoming vibe seems like a great family to be a part of ❤
if you’re interested in parenting material from bill, there’s a ton out there, especially on his podcast. he talks a lot about the work he’s put into getting sober and managing his temper so that he’s a good dad to his kids. there’s another video out there where he talks about the christmas his dad gave him a doll. it’s a more serious video, but DEFINITELY worth a watch and reaction
@@DefaultName-du3kr it is rough, but it’s also beautiful. he even manages to be funny from time to time. i think it’s valuable for a father. i wish my parents would have had the kind of self awareness that bill seems to have. he is (apparently, i don’t actually know him) a perfect example of breaking “the cycle”.
Bill ain't wrong tho. I was born in the 80s and it was the same way. In a way it made us tougher and we could handle people calling us names and we were able to just distance ourselves from dumb sh*t. I think it SHOULD be brought back. Kids shouldn't get hit but that fear of consequences should be brought back
Nah man, throwing a full glass of milk in a toddler's face is fucked up. He's a kid- he doesn't know what the fuck is going on or how his words affect the people around him. He's just repeating what he's heard from his parents without understanding the context. So rather than explaining to him why he shouldn't say those things, his parents just punished him. That's not teaching, that's just straight bullying. Fearing your parents leads to resentment, respecting your parents leads to love.
Yeah and as a result many of y'all got undiagnosed mental illnesses. Let's be real, y'all were not any better due to overly strict and abusive parenting nor is this generation any worse because parents are not smacking their kids around.
I wonder if people were actually shocked by what Bill’s dad did. My dad never laid a hand on me but my mom used to beat me crazy and I deserved it every single one and I’m a better person for it. Getting some liquid thrown in my face would have been hilarious to me. Thanks mom love you
Some fatherly advice for you, there may come a time where you feel like you’re not a good father, or you don’t do enough but know that normally is never the case. the fact that you would worry about something like that tells you your heart is in the right place. i have 3 boys and there have been times where I have just felt bad for my kids like I could be do so much better financially or do this etcetc but as long as you are trying your best and you love your children you are the best dad in the world
Milk in the face was dad's way of saying " don't talk to your mother like that"...show respect to your parents...Mom's don't return the favor to dad's though
My mother and step mother were very much key your car and put family pet in a pot of stew kind of people so I grew up thinking that woman were crazy lol
Eddie Griffin is a really good comedian to react to. You mention Burr and Chappelle, but Griffin also does race comedy that unites rather than divides. His commentary on religion is literally philosophy through the medium of comedy, Big love and respect from the UK, I'm a great-uncle and uncle to lots of boys and girls, I wish you all the best with your kid. Remember that the example you set now will influence the person your child becomes.
you gotta nip that language in the butt man, saying all this i hate you crap, shiiiit my mom would make me pack a bag and sit on the front steps hahaha
No matter the size--a nation, region, city, or a family--a population can be controlled by fear for only so long. Such people are more concerned with doing the bad thing around others rather than not doing the thing at all. Eventually, the fear is outweighed by a need for freedom. Any ethical animal trainer will tell you the best way is to get the trainee to want to do the right behavior instead of not getting caught doing the bad behavior.
So Bill's family is defenitly a bit too extreme but there is a healthy in between you know for example when I as a kid didn't want to eat something on my plate than I had the option to either eat everything or nothing at all. And I defenitly choose to eat nothing at all a few times and I defenitly wasn't hungry as a kid. Dinner defenitly almost felt as "extra" as a kid which is sort of true regardless since it's the least important meal of your day but only when I started getting older did I actually get hungry in the evening. But as a really young kid that's practically harmless I was perfectly happy I even go to play instead of eat dinner so to me it was a win-win. As for hitting, I mean I was generally very well behaved though I'm sure indeed my mother slapped me at least a couple of times, some of my other siblings one in particular got spanked a lot more often but it's also not like the how my parents were raised (also in the 70's) like it's not like you get hit with like a wooden ladle or even before that with like a plank with iron studs. But even without any kind of physical punishment it's defenitly possible to raise (most) kids well without just letting them walk allover you like many other kids of my generation did.
