Highlight From Episode 165: • Ep. 165 What A Dreambo... Nick Simmons is here to share what it was like growing up as Gene Simmons son. WhereMyMomsAt@gmail.com (213) 375-5184
Yet I still think and beleive he is a huge asshole due to personal experience. If he wasn't diying he wouldn't of cared, thats the sad thing about Gene.
Nick just gave the ultimate parent advice. Talk to your kids like you talk with anyone else. My wife and I get compliments about our kids all the time. That’s because when they were little we talked to them like little adults. It’s not hard people! 😂. Quit raising these weird, anti social, rude humans! 😂
That’s cuz your kid is normal. There’s so many kids that are whacked out or have legitimate mental health/capacity issues (ADHD/Autism) when you have a genuine clean slate that’s the way but not every kid is YOUR kid. you got lucky
Not just your kids, but kids in general. I worked as a teacher in a BAD school teaching 6th graders. Every failed teacher tried to assert authority or "be the adult". I spoke to them as a slightly older, way cooler kid. I made fun of them (I was better than any of them at doing that) and never once tried to assert authority. It's about understanding where the kid is and meeting them there. If a kid can have friends who are older that they respect (which is every kid) then they can respect a teacher if you respect them.
@@chicagonorthsider As someone who went to bad schools that's really interesting. All of my favorite teachers were chill like that and had more functional classrooms than the stuffy authoritarian teachers. We looked up to the cool ones and wanted to make them like us so we behaved and put real effort into our assignments. Those were also the teachers that we felt most comfortable going to for advice which really helped a lot of kids with dysfunctional home lives.
yes! Something I still struggle with my own parents on, regularly. for me it’s like, ‘Dammit man, I’m in my thirties. Talk to me like I’m in my thirties, not like I’m sixteen or younger. Yes, I am your son, and will always be, and also, but also, I’m a grown-ass motherfrikkin’ adult, dammit, treat me like one. I demand you respect my adulthood in the same way that you respect other peoples’ adultness.’ hahaha yep, it is a daily struggle for this millennial. And I have come to realize or conclude that it is one of the biggest failures of my parents’ generation, that is, never transitioning into a real, actual, adult-to-adult relationship with your grown, adult children. And me, I plan and hope to do the opposite of that, if I ever even have kids. Yes, treat the children as children when they are children, treat the teenagers as young adults transitioning into adulthood when they are teenagers, and treat and interact with the adults as adults when they have become full adults! Seem hard? Yep, apparently, way harder than I I can imagine it seems.
I've always hated Gene but I used to watch that show and was always amazed at how cool and level headed the kids were. He may be a dick but he did something right with his kids.
Dude I was supposed to go there, I think saliva was there as well? It was going to be comerica in Detroit but the blackout happened and it was canceled lol
omfggggg dude. I had such a crush on Nick when I was a kid, I remember him being basically the only reason I watched Gene Simmon's reality how lmfao. he's hawt idk
I always thought their songs lacked substance, lyrically and musically, but finding out later they were not really about anything they represented, celebrated and encouraged completed my picture of KISS.
His advice on being a covid shot advocate or trying to make anyone feel bad for not getting the shot seem like a problem shows those true colors. Schwarzenegger did it too.
@@WinkLinkletter Lol, your opinion firstly about the music which means nothing to anyone but yourself and secondly, shows you don't know jack about that band because the other half was all about that lifestyle.
Gene Simmons and Diana Ross? Wow. His persona and his regular self seem totally different. Thats cool. Im pretty sure Ms. Ross would not have dated him based on just his KISS persona.
