Dax Shepard And Kristen Bell Let Their Kids Swear

Dax Shepard And Kristen Bell Let Their Kids Swear

Buzz Feeda day ago
It's a day that ends in "y," so of course we're learning something new about Dax Shepard and Kristen Bell's many approaches to parenting.
Of course, you know that Dax and Kristen share two daughters together — because they are constantly spilling on their own parenting habits. They've been so forthcoming that, just last week, we literally included them on a list of celebrities who share too much of their parenting habits. (It's a good read, too!)
You probably don't know that yesterday was my birthday — and in what I'm assuming was a strange birthday present beamed from the internet directly to my home, the latest episode of Dax's Armchair Expert podcast went live, in which Dax revealed that he and Kristen let their two children swear in the house.
'They are allowed to swear, not with impunity, but when it's called for," he said. "And they land it, and it's in the house and not out at a restaurant, it's OK.'
Dax also said that he swears in front of his kids, and that he has a creative way of dealing with their own occasional potty-mouthed streaks. 'I just told the girls, like, 'Hey, these are noises that come out of your mouth, and you assign what they mean to you,'" he explained.
For what it's worth, his podcast guest Seth Meyers said that he doesn't practice the same, uh, values with his children — mostly because of "the fear that they're gonna take it to school." So: Parents of BuzzFeed, where do you stand? Take your take to the comments.

Why Kelly & Aimee Osbourne Weren't on Speaking Terms Before Dad Ozzy's Death

Kelly Osbourne revealed that she no longer speaks to her older sister, Aimee, years before the death of their dad, Ozzy Osbourne. The Osbourne family confirmed Ozzy's death in a July 22 joint statement, marking the first time Kelly, 40, and Aimee, 41, have been publicly involved with one another since Kelly revealed their feud in 2021. More from SheKnows All About Ozzy Osbourne's Lesser-Known Kids From His First Marriage 'It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning,' their statement read. 'He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family's privacy at this time. Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis.' Two of Ozzy's older children from his first marriage, Jessica and Elliot, were notably left out of the statement. In 2021, Kelly revealed that she is not in contact with Aimee. 'We don't talk,' she said during an appearance on Dax Shepard's podcast Armchair Expert, 'We're just really different. She doesn't understand me and I don't understand her.' Aimee, who is also an older sister to Jack, the youngest of Sharon and Ozzy's three kids, alluded to issues in her relationship with her siblings in 2015. 'I wouldn't say there is an ease between us,' she told The Independent. 'But there is an acceptance. Do we socialize? No.' Aimee also elaborated on having a very different relationship with fame than the rest of her family. 'I'll be having lunch with my mum and she'll complain about the paparazzi outside,' she said. 'I tell her that she could have worn a beanie, but of course she never does. She loves it – it's how she chooses to connect with people. That's fine, I can respect that. But I'm the opposite. I always have been.' Aimee is, by far, the most private of Sharon and Ozzy's kids and notably moved out of the family's Los Angeles home at age 16 to avoid appearing on their MTV reality show, The Osbournes. 'Back then, I still felt I was trying to figure out who I was in the chaos of family life, so why on earth would I want that portrayed on television?' Aimee told The Independent of her decision not to appear on the show. 'I wanted to protect myself, my parents, my siblings, too. They were very young, very impressionable.' She said that the family had 'shouting matches' over whether to accept MTV's offer before she was eventually outvoted by her parents and younger siblings. 'It didn't matter what I thought, ultimately,' she added. 'This was their path, their decision, and they were of course at liberty to take the opportunity. Which they did.' When MTV started filming, Aimee moved out. 'Obviously, I would have liked to stay at home a little longer,' she said, 'but it wasn't to be.' Later, in 2018, Sharon reflected on her daughter's departure from the family home and admitted that she wished she'd handled it differently. 'She felt too that she didn't want to grow up on camera,' Sharon said of Aimee during a 2018 episode of The Talk, per People. 'And so she left at 16 and I regret every day that she did.'

Viral: Mom Gets Profound Sign From Deceased Child

A woman named Tara Stilwell has recently touched the hearts of millions of people with this viral story about her son, Wilder Brooks Stilwell. Wilder was 6 years old when he was unfortunately killed. "Do you guys want to hear a story about how I asked my 6-year-old deceased son for a sign that he could still hear me and how he responded? It's a pretty good story, if you want to hear it," Tara started in her TikTok as she rocked her baby. "I had just read that book called Signs. It's a pretty common book that people read directly after losing someone they love. In that book, it talks about being very specific in the sign that you ask for. And so I was thinking about what could be a symbol for my son that I felt like resonated with him, and he was only six when he died, so that means it would have to be something that kind of caters to a 6-year-old, and what do most 6-year-old boys love? Legos." "So I asked him to let me see a Lego in a place where it didn't belong. So not in my house, not in a friend's house that had kids — a Lego in a place where it didn't belong, specifically a red Lego. I went about my day, and I kind of forgot about it," she continued. "Later that day, I was at my daughter's ballet class. It was one o'clock, and I was in the viewing/waiting room. I was observing this family I had never seen before, and I was kind of watching the little boy because he was wearing a shirt that my son had owned, and I was already thinking about Wilder, and, you know, kind of watching my daughter's class and just keeping to myself. The mom and I struck up conversation, and I found out that they weren't normally there that day. They were doing a makeup class, and it was just by some off chance that we were in the same place at the same time." "This little boy was kind of just quietly playing cars on the floor, and he got up and he walked over to me. He looked me directly in my eyes, and he put one singular red Lego in my hands." "And even when I think about it, I get chills, because what are the chances of that? There's no such thing as a coincidence that big, right? And obviously, I immediately started to cry, because how could you not in a moment like that? But I choked it up as fast as I could, and I tried not to let him or his mom see, because how do you even begin to explain that to a stranger? But it was after that moment that I never doubted again that he could hear me, even if it's not in the way that I would prefer," Tara concluded. BuzzFeed spoke to Tara, who explained that she was gifted the book in the early days of his passing and was desperate for answers, looking to find a way to connect with Wilder. "Like most parents who've lost a child, you would give anything to find a way to feel close to them. In the book, it explains that our loved ones can hear us — that they can find ways to connect with us if we ask for specific signs. I sat with this idea, wondering if maybe, somehow, somewhere, my son's spirit was still connected to me." Tara decided to ask Wilder for a red Lego as a sign because he was such a high-energy boy, Legos were one of the only quiet and still activities that kept him engaged. "I spent a fortune on them, truthfully, but I loved watching how mindful he would be with building project to completion. I chose red because that was his favorite color." "When the little boy lifted his hand in the way that signaled to me that he wanted to hand me something, and looked me directly in the eyes, I wasn't sure what it was going to be. But once the Lego fell into the palm of my hands and his eye contact lingered, it felt like he was silently telling me the answer to the question I had been begging Wilder for: He could hear me. My entire body got warm, and my eyes welled with tears that I did my best to choke down." "People are disappointed that I didn't explain to the boy or his mother what that Lego meant to me, but I needed the feeling to be all mine in that moment. I needed to sit with knowing my son could hear me," she added. "I think Wilder is touching more lives than I ever could have imagined. I'm so beyond grateful and proud," Tara added. And since the story has impacted so many people, Tara said it is also giving people who are grieving a little piece of hope that they might be able to connect with their loved ones... In fact, thousands of people who have already had signs are sharing their own experiences with their deceased loved ones in the comments on Tara's TikTok video: Tara now asks Wilder for signs all the time, and he always follows through. She said, "I'm probably annoying him at this point. I have so many other stories that would make a believer even out of the biggest skeptic. Some of my most meaningful connections with Wilder are his visits in my dreams. They aren't dreams, it's us, together again somewhere in between. In the four years since he's passed, I'd say he's visited me about 10 times, and I can still remember every single detail of every one of those dreams." "Child loss goes against what feels to be the laws of nature. It's a loss that feels to be the hardest to swallow. I know Wilder is watching over me and his siblings. Protecting us from the other side," Tara ended. If you are grieving the loss of a child, you can find resources here.
