Kylie Kelce shares strong opinions on parenting, birthday party gift etiquette, and her daughters' candid reactions to expecting a fourth child on her podcast.

Kylie Kelce isn't holding back when it comes to her views on parenting. As she and husband Jason Kelce prepare to welcome their fourth daughter, she's making her stance clear on a few hot-button issues. During a recent episode of her podcast, "Not Gonna Lie," Kylie dove into the topic of children's birthday parties, specifically addressing the trend of giving presents to all kids at the party, not just the birthday child. "I am vehemently against the idea of other kids getting birthday presents on a child's birthday," Kylie stated firmly. She shares daughters Wyatt, 5, Ellie, 3, and Bennett, 2, with Jason Kelce. "Our family knows, no one else is receiving a birthday present for Bennett's birthday. Everyone gets a special day." "When your siblings get presents for your birthday, it reduces your birthday. It's not their birthday. It's your birthday," she continued. "I think it teaches them to a degree that just because someone's getting presents doesn't mean you get presents. It feels very participation trophy-esque and not happening." In November, the Kelces announced they are expecting their fourth daughter, and Kylie shared a humorous video on Instagram capturing her daughters' reactions to the news. The photo featured all three daughters wearing "Big Sister" sweaters, with one covering her ears, another smiling, and the youngest crying. Classic! "I feel like we captured a very accurate representation of how each of the girls feel about getting another sister. At least Ellie, mom and dad are on the same page!" Kylie wrote. On a December episode of her podcast, Kylie didn't mince words when discussing her kids' reactions. She admitted that Bennett, nicknamed "Bennie," is less than thrilled about the new addition. "When I tell you that Bennie feels deeply and personally victimized by the fact that we chose to give her another sibling, I mean that with my whole chest," Kylie shared. "No, no, she absolutely has not [come around]. When other babies or little kids come over, and they try to sit in my lap, she physically removes them. So, we are about to ruin her day."
