Welcome back to Feeding the Mouth to Bight You, a weekly podcast guide on parenting teens and launching them into the world.

I'm Cynthia Yanov, and as always, I'm joined by psychologist and author Dr. Ken Wilgus.

Dr. Ken, are you trying to get on trend? You've got a goatee or, I mean, are we going mustache? What are we doing over here? This is just, I'm not shaving when it's cold outside. And, you know, some guys don't shave for a week or so and they look pretty cool. I just look like a homeless old man. So that's the look I'm going for. A homeless old man. Well, you mentioned before we started taping that, you know, with all the ice and the bad weather that, you know, being stuck at home, you just kind of gave up. And I just want to say that I think it's a win that you only gave up on shaving because I gave up on parenting, which I feel like was not a win. Yeah, yeah. It has more consequences. Which actually might lead into while we're discussing impulsivity and other things. Conduct disorder, oppositional. I may have some of those. We don't know. It's anybody's guess after being at home this long. But one thing that did come to mind for me, and I just thought I'd share with y'all a parenting

fail because we want to keep it real over here on feet of the mouth. Today's 100 days of school.

Did your kids ever have that? Where they celebrate it? So this, the school, and aren't they precious, these public schools, they let them dress up.

And so you can dress up like you're 100 years old.

Like you could literally try to look like Dr. Kenney with your facial hair and just look old, go old man.

Or 100 days into the future.

Or you can wear something that has a hundred of such items on it this

is like an elementary school thing and you said that that sounds fun maybe that is for the child

but you know who's not getting together their costume is the child and so jb my sweet youngest

pumpkin did not want to dress up.

It was not interested.

Didn't want to be involved in this until last night about 820 right before bed.

And he's like, well, I have to dress up.

And I just wanted to let everybody know what I sent him in today, which feels like whatever you're dealing with him parenting, I think you'll feel better after this.

What did you do?

I hot glued monopoly $100 bills on his shirt.

I'm sorry, I was thinking almost that same thing.

I think that's genius.

Here's why it's not genius.

It's not 100 years of future.
