Kael Lowry
This is Coffee Convos with Kael Lowry and Lindsey Chrisley. I really want you to be in your feels. Kale.
Lindsey Chrisley
That does not interest me whatsoever.
Kael Lowry
I feel very attacked by you. A spirited discussion about motherhood, friendship, family, and life in the public eye. I'm just not with the fakery anymore.
Lindsey Chrisley
There's a fakery bakery around here.
Kael Lowry
Here's Kaylin Lindsay.
Lindsey Chrisley
Hello, Lindsay.
Kael Lowry
Good morning and welcome to Coffee Combo's podcast. I am crashing out.
Lindsey Chrisley
I'm also crashing out. And so much so that I'm wearing a hoodie. You guys know I don't wear hoodies. I haven't worn hoodies in years. But Coffee Combos merch came in. I didn't get my crew neck in yet, so I decided to put the hoodie on.
Kael Lowry
So wait, are you just like, completely against hoodies for some reason that we're unaware? Oh, my God, no.
Lindsey Chrisley
I just don't like. Like, I used to wear them so much. I think I just got worn out of them and now I'm a crew neck girly. But I mean, this one is cute, so it's fine.
Kael Lowry
I love a good hoodie and I love a good crew neck, but if I was going to choose crew neck or hoodie, then I'm going crewneck all day.
Lindsey Chrisley
Yeah, same. I did try to find the bass pro shop crew neck that you have. I did try to find that at Cabela's the other day, but they didn't have it.
Kael Lowry
I'm so sorry. Only the exclusive can get that one.
Lindsey Chrisley
Only the elite.
Kael Lowry
Only the elite. Wait, I have to tell you. So I went to Walmart over the weekend. I really rarely ever go to Walmart. And I was talking about candles on here not too long ago, and people were like, lindsay, we cannot find the candle that you're talking about. I think it's like a seasonal one at Bath and Body Works. Course, I would love a seasonal candle, but I found one from that, like, mainstays brand and it's called Starlit Skies. Okay, run.
Lindsey Chrisley
Run. Just. Just one word. Run.
Kael Lowry
It is black and it has bats, like, all over the outside. I think it might be a scent that they do all the time. But it's like seasonally packaged.
Lindsey Chrisley
Okay.
Kael Lowry
Very cheap, very inexpensive. I was worried about it, not like really carrying smell. Because if you ever got a cheap candle and you light it and keep waiting for your house to smell good and then it never does.
Lindsey Chrisley
Yeah, that's happened.
Kael Lowry
Yeah. I was like, okay, well, since this candle was like 5.98 or something, I think is what it was. I was like, it's probably just like not going to work. No, I'm running back to Walmart.
Lindsey Chrisley
Oh, well, that's good to know. I have been, and I've been talking about it a little bit, sort of across my platforms, social media included, trying not to do delivery services so that I could avoid the delivery fees and the tip fees. Like, obviously I tip. And so I will be stopping at Walmart if I have time today. I also, I feel like mental health, this is going to be maybe like a weird take. My mental health plays into whether or not I'm getting out of the car to go into a store.
Kael Lowry
That is absolutely so true mental health for me right now. And the absolute shitter. So I did not leave my house. Like, I went and ran a couple of errands yesterday and I came home, was home by like one o' clock yesterday, did not leave my bedroom until this morning.
Lindsey Chrisley
And so, like, if you're not feeling it, are you gonna go run errands and physically get out of your car and go into stores and then get back? Because I think for so long it was like I wasn't doing it for depression reasons. And then I got my mental health back in order and I still wasn't doing it because I was so used to it. But then now, like, it doesn't even bother me to run into a store right now.
Kael Lowry
So yesterday I went to Pilates in the morning after I dropped Jackson off at school and then went to the car wash. We went to a drive through, like safari over the weekend and so there was feed, like all over my Bronco. So I just knew I could not drive. I don't know about you, but, like, if I'm in a stressed place, I need all of my, like, spaces clean.
Lindsey Chrisley
That's ocd.
Kael Lowry
Like, I cannot function without it being clean. So the car wash was more like a necessity than an errand, I feel like. So I went and did that and then immediately came home, did not leave my room. I was watching a Netflix show, I think it's like a limited series. It's called Behind Her Eyes.
Lindsey Chrisley
Oh, I saw it. I watched it.
Kael Lowry
Did you like, it?
Lindsey Chrisley
Yeah, it was really good. It's based on a book.
Kael Lowry
Oh, it is?
Lindsey Chrisley
Yeah.
Kael Lowry
See, I wouldn't know that. I thought that it was a really good show, but you really have to, like, watch that show for, like, all the details to understand actually what's going on.
Lindsey Chrisley
Yes, 100%.
Kael Lowry
So I finished watching that, and then I was like, okay, well, I've now finished two books in the past, like, two and a half weeks, so I'm gonna start another book. So I started Just for the Summer.
Lindsey Chrisley
Yes. By Abby Jimenez.
Kael Lowry
Yeah. And I am, like, 200 pages in.
Lindsey Chrisley
Oh, good. Because the book club girlies are asking if you were reading Abby, and I was like, yeah, I think she is.
Kael Lowry
So this is my. This will be my third Abby book.
Lindsey Chrisley
Which one? Okay. So you read part of her, part of your world.
Kael Lowry
Yep.
Lindsey Chrisley
Did you read yours truly?
Kael Lowry
And then I read yours truly, and now I'm reading Just for the summer. Oh, my God.
Lindsey Chrisley
That's like. That completes, like, the interconnected series.
Kael Lowry
Yeah. So that's what the Internet told me, that that's the order to read them in, and that's what you said to read them in. So doing that, I should be done by the end of this week with that so I can probably, like, talk to the turtles soon.
Lindsey Chrisley
Yes. Thank God, because they're waiting for it.
Kael Lowry
But there is another book that I saw pop up on Kindle, and it said it was released in 2025 by Abby Jimenez. Yeah.
Lindsey Chrisley
Oh, let me look. I think she just came out with one. Or she's about to come out with one. Hold on. I think it's. Does it have fireworks on the COVID.
Kael Lowry
Let's see.
Lindsey Chrisley
It is called oh, say you'll remember me.
Kael Lowry
Say you'll remember me.
Lindsey Chrisley
Yeah, that one's so good. You'll cry. You'll cry your eyes out. But, like, in a good way. That one's so, so, so, so good. Every single Abby Jimenez book that you read. The next one will be so much like. It's. It's like, oh, my God, this one's my favorite. And the next one will be like, oh, my God. No, this one's my favorite. Like, you will love say sale Remember me I think is my favorite out of all of them.
Kael Lowry
I just need to tell you thank you so much for the Kindle recommendation, because the fact that I can turn my lights off in my room, and it's like, nothing but the Kindle, that's really, really nice. Love it. Also love the fact that if I just want to start another book and I Don't want to go to Target or Books a million or wherever. Then I can just download.
Lindsey Chrisley
Yep. It's so much more convenient. I hate having the lights on, so. It's so much more convenient.
Kael Lowry
I love it. I don't have the inserts. Like, I'm not.
Lindsey Chrisley
Oh, I'm gonna. I gotta send you some.
Kael Lowry
I don't really know how to use them. I got the COVID that you told me to get, but it's like silicone on the back.
Lindsey Chrisley
Yeah.
Kael Lowry
So you just slip it in the silicone.
Lindsey Chrisley
Yeah. Like, if you take it off and then you put the insert in there and then you put it back on, it should fit, like, nicely in there. I'll send. I completely forgot to send you all the inserts. Some. Some books are not on Kindle, which is really annoying, but I wonder why that is. They don't make. From my understanding. Don't quote me on this, but I think the authors don't make. I think they only make a couple cents on Kindle.
Kael Lowry
Got it. So in the book, Just for the Summer, it kind of made me think about you and Susie.
Lindsey Chrisley
Yes. That's why I loved it so much, because I was like. That is. I think her name was Amber.
Kael Lowry
Yeah, Amber. Yeah.
Lindsey Chrisley
Yeah. That's why I think I connected with it so much, because you're just like. You just want a relationship with your mom. I think that's, like, every child's desires to have, like, a healthy relationship.
Kael Lowry
And when the book was talking about how, you know, the mom came to see her and then falls in love with the guy and. Ish. I don't know if this is, like, even PC word, but, like, shacking up with him at his house, and she was there to see her daughter, and then she wasn't paying her any attention. I was like, wow, that is giving, like, Kale and Susie.
Lindsey Chrisley
Oh, 1,000%. Also, someone else said that Frida McFadden's the Intruder was giving Susie and Kale vibes. So I have that book, and I'll be reading it. That's also free on Kindle Unlimited. Committed.
Kael Lowry
Okay.
Lindsey Chrisley
Like a thriller. Really quickly, before it's. While it's in my brain, before we move on. As a mother of a child who plays sports, how do we feel about not allowing kids to play sports for grades? Now, I know that we've talked about not playing sports as a punishment, but then it's like a gray area because you pay for the sports, they're committed to the team. Like, you can't really take away a healthy outlet for, you know, bad behavior or whatever that looks like. Because if you take away a healthy outlet, then their behavior could get worse. But what about for grades, specifically? Because I'm thinking like when I was in high school and I played lacrosse, like I had to get a certain grade, I had to get certain grades in order to be eligible to play. But what if the sports are not associated with the school? Would you pull Jackson knowing that it means so much to him if his grades were really shitty?
Kael Lowry
No. Okay, I would like to say that I would because I think that that's a good life lesson. However, to remove a healthy outlet, I think I can come up with a different punishment.

Lindsey Chrisley
Do babies hold grudges?
Kael Lowry
That's why we make one formula that feels right right away.
Lindsey Chrisley
One that's clinically proven.
Kael Lowry
Proven with immune supporting benefits in every scoop. Learn more@byheart.com okay, I need help because I removed well I say I. Technically Will did, but it's a. A joint thing. Remove the iPad and the phone for grade purposes. Basketball tryouts were last week. Still did basketball tryouts, still going to play basketball, but the technology's gone.
Lindsey Chrisley
Electronics are gone already. Is it overkill to then remove him from. The thing is that the sports mean the most to him. And I don't. I'm scared for him to not fully understand. So because the sports are not associated with the school right now, the grades don't matter.
Kael Lowry
I mean, I think it's all preparation for high school. Right. Because once you do get to high school, and I don't know if it's middle school as well, we're so new in middle school. I don't know. But I know you have to have a certain GPA to play sports in college. I remember Will also had to have a certain GPA to be eligible to play on the baseball team. Okay, so this is like a long following situation if they want to stay committed to a sport. So the grades do have to be of utmost importance. However, if you take every healthy outlet that they have. Like, we chose to remove the technology because I don't feel like it's healthy anyway.
Lindsey Chrisley
Agreed.
Kael Lowry
That was like an easy whatever, but how much is overkill?
Lindsey Chrisley
I don't want punishment after punishment. I just. I worry that the electronics at this moment wouldn't necessarily be enough. I know that sports mean the most to him, and so to get him to act quickly, my thought was the sports. But, like, I've never been able to do that before, so why now?
Kael Lowry
I don't know if this is PC either, but I've threatened Jackson on the grades before. Like, okay, I understand this will be a financial commitment for myself, but since you can't do what you're supposed to do while you're at school and it's not of utmost importance to you, then I'm going to take it into my hands. And what you're going to do is you're going to be in tutoring from the time that you get out of school until the time it's time for sports.
Lindsey Chrisley
I did also mention a tutor, so.
Kael Lowry
I don't know what it is, but they absolutely hate the idea of tutoring. And my whole thing is, okay, if you're going to be in the public school system, that means that you are there for at least seven hours a day. Please tell me what the you're doing up at that schoolhouse that you cannot do what you're supposed to be doing in that amount of Time where you're then coming home with either incomplete assignments and so incomplete that they weren't even attempted or a grade that you could have just might as well have just not done it at all. It affected your average that bad that you might as well not have just done it at all. So now you've inconvenienced me and caused me stress and I'm not going to be stressed for the rest of your schooling. So you can just get a tutor and you can sit there and. And since seven hours at school wasn't enough, we'll see if these other hours will be enough for you to understand.
Lindsey Chrisley
It doesn't take much. And I just, I don't know, I look at like how I was as a kid. Nobody sat with me and wanted to do schoolwork with me or study with me or anything like that. And so like I get the, like not really caring. But then I also would get the grades back and care. You know what I mean? So it was like. But then I never did anything to change it. So I just worry that I don't know.
Kael Lowry
Do you have any children that will do something to get by like on the skin of their teeth? Yes, that is Jackson. All day long he's like, oh, you said A's and B's. Okay, everything will be at 80, literally everything. And P will be a hundred. So that is technically A's and B's.
Lindsey Chrisley
Yeah, they'll link. Lincoln and Lux. Both will like if, if I tell them, okay, you have to clean up this room before we go to the trampoline park, they will half ass it. It will be just done like the bare, bare, bare bare minimum. And then they'll say it's done.
Kael Lowry
Yeah, no, that's Jackson also. And it, it makes me just want to, I can't. I have to tell you what hit the news in Atlanta yesterday. I've been following the story. It says man arrested inside Atlanta airport after planning to shoot up terminal with AR15. So it shows this whole video and it says a man with in quotes mental challenges was arrested after plotting to shoot up Hartsville Jackson Atlanta International Airport Monday morning. It says he was 49 years old. He showed up to the airport after 9am and Atlanta police chief said that he live streamed on social media that he had plans to go to the Atlanta airport and to shoot it up. The family said that they heard about the threats and immediately notified the police who authorities said that he, they had past run ins with him and he was previously a convicted felon. It says that they the local police department notified the airport security and they immediately began searching for him. His family told police that he was driving a Chevrolet flatbed truck and authorities found it parked right outside the airport at the doors of the south Turnover terminal. It says that he entered the airport at 9:31am after arriving at 9:29am and was appeared to be scoping out the south terminal, which housed solely for Delta airline passengers. It says he was arrested inside the airport at 9:54am it says he's being charged with terroristic threats, criminal attempt to commit aggravated assault, possession of a firearm during. During the commission of a felony and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
Lindsey Chrisley
Is that scary to. For it to be that close to you?
Kael Lowry
That's absolutely terrifying. What's more terrifying is that they actually found an AR15 assault rifle in his vehicle when they searched his vehicle and found 27 rounds of ammunition inside. I would love to know if he like just was seeking out the Atlanta airport and went there to do that or if he had a flight. Like, makes me feel like he was just seeking the airport.
Lindsey Chrisley
But I think you can't get past security unless you have a flight.
Kael Lowry
Yeah, but think about the amount of people coming off of flights and baggage claim or all of the other places like the, the dining, the bathrooms, the security lines.
Lindsey Chrisley
Yeah, but I think in order to get to that point in the airport, you like, you can't get through security without like, if, if I'm taking you to the airport and I don't have an airline ticket, I can't go through security with you.
Kael Lowry
No, I know, but I'm thinking that maybe he was just in the south terminal somewhere. Like you can be dropped off at the terminal without being passed the security. And to park a vehicle outside and then to go in, he parked it around 9:29am and then was inside the airport by 9:31am to me, that very much seems like he was scoping the stuff out and had the firearm in his fucking pickup truck. It's just. It's absolutely terrifying. And the thoughts of someone in a mentally deranged state like that to go into an airport where there would be a mass amount of people and evidently thought it was somewhat normal.
Lindsey Chrisley
Last night when we were. I went to the Flyers game with Kristen and I brought the kids and I always like look around at stadiums and stuff and I'm like, how many people are here? Like, if something were to happen. And the fact that we have to think like that is so sick.
Kael Lowry
I always think like that. My head is constantly on a swivel. If we're going anywhere that's large groups of people. In fact, I hate going anywhere with large groups of people.
Lindsey Chrisley
Like the super bowl every year scares me.
Kael Lowry
Wait, have you been to the Super Bowl?
Lindsey Chrisley
No, I wouldn't go even if I could. I don't think.
Kael Lowry
I mean it's just. It's terrifying. There also was local to me as well. It says a man dead after a road road rage gunfire crash. It was on Saturday night on i75. It said it was a violent road rage encounter on Interstate 75 turned deadly late Saturday night after a series of crashes and gunfire involving multiple vehicles and a police patrol car. It says what we know. According to the Georgia State Patrol, troopers were called to assist Atlanta police around 10:30pm Saturday. Investigators said that a silver sedan and a Ford pickup truck were engaged in a road rage altercation when the sedan truck the rear of altercation when the sedan struck the rear of the truck. Both drivers then pulled over to the right shoulder where the driver of the sedan got out and approached the truck. Gunfire was exchanged between the two drivers and the man from the sedan collapsed in the in lane six of the interstate.
Lindsey Chrisley
I just recently did a full try on haul for Rainbow Curves and I'm absolutely obsessed. This is a Walmart activewear brand for curvy women. So you guys know that I'm not the skinniest girl on the planet, but they do have stretch friendly bras, leggings and biker shorts. They also have pants in sizes 14 to 32. I did a try on of all of these items and I'm obsessed with all of them. I know how hard it is to find curve friendly workout sets and that's why Rainbow Curbs was created. You guys. We shouldn't have to compromise on style or fit. And now you don't have to. Thanks to Rainbow Curves all of their things are under 15 and you guys can build your own set for under 30. I'm talking about bras, leggings in black, purple, green, gray and navy blue. But what's really great about these is that these are moisture wicking fabric to keep you cool and dry during any workout. Fabric is chafe proof, designed to prevent chafing and all of their leggings have power stretch mesh material for compression on the waist, tummy and hips to keep you nice and snatched throughout the day. Like I said, I did a try on haul. I also styled it a little bit for like a more athleisure look with coffee combos, merch, the boot cut pants are cute. You can go casual everyday lounge.

Booking.com is one of the most downloaded travel apps in the world. And for good reason. Since 2010, they've helped over 1.8 billion vacation rental guests find places to stay. And that's billion with a B.
Kael Lowry
But here's the thing. Most vacation rental hosts don't even realize that they can list their properties on booking. Com. And if you're not on the platform, your rental is basically invisible to millions of Booking.com travelers worldwide. After all, they can't book what they can't see, right?
Lindsey Chrisley
But once you start listing on booking.com, your property gets seen by a massive global audience of unique travelers. That means more visibility, more bookings, and more opportunity to accelerate the growth growth of your rental business.
Kael Lowry
And it couldn't be any easier. You can register your property in as little as 15 minutes and nearly half of hosts get their first booking within a week.
Lindsey Chrisley
So if your vacation rental isn't listed on booking.com it could be invisible to millions of travelers searching the platform. Don't miss out on consistent bookings and global reach. Head over to booking.com and start your listing today. Get seen get booked on booking.com what types of problems are these people having before the road rage that is causing road rage to escalate to this point? Like I just don't get road rage like that. I truly do not give a if someone cuts me off. That's not like the problem. What is the root of the problem? That these people are having to pull guns on people and like during mental health issues.
Kael Lowry
I think genuinely this weekend Jackson and I drove to the mountains to do that like drive through safari thing and it was a one lane and this guy passed us, had a government like sticker on the vehicle pass us, started flicking us off and was like pulling forward onto the bumper of like the car in front of us and then brake checking me the entire time and I got passed and flicked off because I Was going the fucking speed limit. I'm just like, what? What is wrong with people? And when I was in college, Will's baseball team played like a little. Probably like 25 minutes south of where we went to school was where their baseball field was. So I had to get on Interstate 20. If you're local to the Atlanta area, try to avoid 20 at all costs. Was driving in traffic and this man pulled up like I was kind of parked in dead stop traffic. There was a car on the other side. This guy was in the middle lane and he was waving a firearm around in the car, looking at me and looking to the car next to me. And I'm like, what? I mean, at this point I'm only like 19 or 20 years old and I'm just a little blonde girl in a silver Mercedes. I'm like, this guy's gonna kill me.
Lindsey Chrisley
He probably would have.
Kael Lowry
I just kept looking. I just kept trying to look straight the ahead.
Lindsey Chrisley
That's all you can do in those situations because what else are you gonna do?
Kael Lowry
Okay, I have to ask you. I saw this article, it was on people.com and it says that parents attended daughter's wedding instead of going to their son's high school graduation. And now he doesn't want them at the college ceremony.
Lindsey Chrisley
I saw this.
Kael Lowry
You did?
Lindsey Chrisley
Yeah, I. It pissed me off.
Kael Lowry
Okay. I just feel like wouldn't we. No, no. That your son would be having a high school graduation. So wouldn't we be telling the daughter that got married like, hey, these are definitely the weekends that you cannot have your wedding.
Lindsey Chrisley
I have multiple children and I think about myself and scenarios like this. If we'll say because Elliot's the oldest, say he was about to get married and Lux was having a graduation. You're literally. Elliot is not getting married on Lux's graduation day. Like you know, entering that year. Yes, graduation is going to be. So no, absolutely. The not. That just pisses me off. The original poster shared that their daughter announced her date while our son was in the first semester of his junior year. So she. They knew.
Kael Lowry
I just, I couldn't imagine again, only have one child. So not going to be an issue for me probably, but I just could not imagine being able to choose between those two things.
Lindsey Chrisley
No. Why would you Like, I don't understand why a sibling would even pick a date like that. Like that would piss me off. And the parents to be in the middle of it and not mitigate it. It's like don't attend both. Then that's what you're choosing between your children. But also, don't you want your brother at your wedding?
Kael Lowry
But the thing is, is like, a high school graduation involves so many other people. Right. So that date is set in stone by people outside of your control.
Lindsey Chrisley
Yeah.
Kael Lowry
The wedding would be an active, selected choice to get married on that specific weekend that does not involve a mass amount of people.
Lindsey Chrisley
Yep.
Kael Lowry
So why are we not doing something about it and course correcting our children?
Lindsey Chrisley
There has to be something deeper that we don't know because I can't even imagine. Like, and then. And then for the parents to participate in all of it is just insane to me.
Kael Lowry
I can promise you, once we get through schooling years with Jackson, I will be camped out waiting for that diploma. Camped out. Okay. I could not imagine choosing between my children, like, two such important events of their life and being like, yeah, well, the wedding's just like, more important, you know? No, and this sounds really bad, but, like, almost hope she gets divorced because.
Lindsey Chrisley
You'Re an for that, right?
Kael Lowry
You're an.
Lindsey Chrisley
Well, is there more to the story? Like, is there more.
Kael Lowry
So it says a person. I believe that this was on Reddit. We know. We love Reddit. A person asked if they are in the wrong for choosing to attend their daughter's wedding over their son's high school graduation. Number one, why are we asking this on Reddit? The fact that you need to ask this on Reddit tells me that you already know that you made the wrong decision. But it says that. The original poster explained that a few years ago, their son's high school graduation happened on the same day as his sister's wedding, putting them and their wife and extended family in a tough situation. We tried to see if my daughter could change her wedding date, but she had already paid the deposit and really wanted that specific date because it was also her birthday. She felt it wasn't fair for us to ask her to move the date since she didn't know when her brother's graduation would be scheduled. She announced the date when her while her son was in the first semester of his junior year. It says. The original poster shared that a lot of discussion went into which event that they would attend, and ultimately the parents decided to attend the wedding. In a quote, I wanted to walk my daughter down the aisle. We looked into whether if anyone in the family could be at our son's graduation, but everyone wanted to attend the wedding. My wife did not want to split either because she also wanted to be there for our daughter. We talked to our son, and while he seemed disappointed, we promised to Try to make it up to. To make it up to him. They added. He seemed okay with it at that time.
Lindsey Chrisley
No. All of this is a big fat no for me. And you cannot tell me that you like. I got my bachelor's degree in May. It was Mother's Day weekend. You know that graduation is typically in May. You know that. Why you. If you don't know when it's going to be scheduled, but you know it's probably going to be in May or maybe the first week in June, why are you planning a wedding for that same time frame?

I just feel like that's also planning a lot on your parents. When you have a child graduating from high school, typically there are events that come along with that, right? So knowing that your parents are going through that with one of your siblings, why would you then stack on a wedding on top of that?
Lindsey Chrisley
No. Literally, no.
Kael Lowry
But I agree with, with. He's quoted in this article saying he feels his sister could have changed her wedding date, but he could not change his graduation. And that day made him realize where he stood in the family. He said that this has really hurt my wife and me and our parents and our extended family. We are really looking forward to see him walk across the stage and showing him how proud we were. I don't blame him about his nano college graduation.
Lindsey Chrisley
I do not feel bad for her. I feel bad for him completely.
Kael Lowry
Like, could you imagine your child graduating from high school and then no one in the family.
Lindsey Chrisley
Is there no graduating from high school, college, technical school, nail school, any graduation? No.
Kael Lowry
So let me tell you this story that happened with my high school graduation. So I had a graduation party after graduation ceremony, and my parents have never gotten along enough to be in the same room for longer than 30 seconds. So since I lived with my dad and Julie, I was like, my mom shouldn't come because this should be a celebration for me, and I shouldn't have to be in an uncomfortable situation because both my parents are at the same place. My dad goes behind my back, invites my mom to the graduation, tells me the day before the graduation, I had no idea that she was coming. And it wasn't because I didn't want her there. It was because I did not want to remember the conversation we had about, like, doing the joint parties with parents who are divorced.
Lindsey Chrisley
Yes.
Kael Lowry
It was like that situation. Like, you're now putting me in an uncomfortable situation because y' all can't get along.
Lindsey Chrisley
Yep, 1000%.
Kael Lowry
And I just felt like that was so wrong. And also waiting.
Lindsey Chrisley
It is wrong. I Think that, like, I'm seeing it in my own kids too. Like they'll say certain things to me. Well, I don't want my dad to say this because of you or whatever. And it's like, I understand that. So don't put your kids in that situation.
Kael Lowry

Again, that's code coffee combos to save 20@tone today.com that's t o n e today.com Speaking of that, I came across this TikTok yesterday that I stitched. And it's sort of in the same realm of conversation. The mom and husband have a biological child together, and then she, the mother has two stepchildren, and she says that. And I'll have Kristen play the tick tock. She gave her biological daughter and she kept saying biological daughter the biggest room in the house because the two children, the two stepchildren have two households that are fully stocked and her biological child's parents are still together. So I stitched it and I basically was like, I don't understand the logic here. Kristin, will you play it this room in our house? And let me tell you why you.
Kael Lowry
May disagree with me.
Lindsey Chrisley
Because she's the baby and she has two bigger siblings. Siblings. But I want you to understand something.
Kael Lowry
This is our only house. Mom and dad are still together, and it drives my step kids insane. They're like, but she's the youngest. We're older.
Lindsey Chrisley
Why don't we get the big room?
Kael Lowry
I'm jealous. It's not fair.
Lindsey Chrisley
Okay, first of all, fair is something you pay to ride the bus. Second of all, you have two homes.
Kael Lowry
That are fully stocked with anything you could ever want. She's not.
Lindsey Chrisley
Okay.
Kael Lowry
Mom and dad are still together.
Lindsey Chrisley
Me and my husband, everything she.
Kael Lowry
She has is in this one house. They go every other week to another house that is fully stocked.
Lindsey Chrisley
So don't let your kids, your step.
Kael Lowry
Kids, anybody manipulate you for the decision that you're making by telling you that it's not fair. I have a reason, okay? And although I've explained this to them, I'm sure they don't care.
Lindsey Chrisley
And I'm sure it doesn't really click.
Kael Lowry
In their brain because to them, my kids, they're like, wow, Kim leaves the.
Lindsey Chrisley
Baby and she's yours.
Kael Lowry
She gets the bigger room.
Lindsey Chrisley
No, it's not.
Kael Lowry
It's her only home. Now. If they all lived with us full time, the oldest would get it.
Lindsey Chrisley
It's that simple.
Kael Lowry
But that's not the way that it is.
Lindsey Chrisley
And this is the way it's going.
Kael Lowry
To be as long as things are the way that they are.
Lindsey Chrisley
Anyways, check back in with you next week. My biggest problem here is that like, you're. It's giving. Punishing the kids for parents not being able to work out the parent. I would, I would argue that the step kids don't like going back and forth between households. And I'm speaking from experience, my kids don't benefit by having two households like going back and forth between homes. Why would they get a smaller room because of that.
Kael Lowry
I understand somewhat what she's saying, that that child only has the one home. However, those other kids did not choose for their parents not to be together. So that argument completely goes out the window when you're making an active choice to stay with your husband, the father of the child that you're talking about that you guys created together. But those other children should not be punished because of that. And I think it should all be fair. Now it's going to get into a deeper argument because I know people are going to say, well, are all the rooms in the house the same size or whatever. It's also a little weird to me. Is she saying that the, the youngest child has the biggest room, including the master bedroom?
Lindsey Chrisley
The way that I took it was aside from the master bedroom because it, it looked to me like a. Over the attic, I mean, over the garage type of like bonus room is what it looked like to me. I don't think that, that I think it's like the biggest other bedroom.
Kael Lowry
Are all of your kids rooms somewhat similar in size?
Lindsey Chrisley
No. One of my biggest regrets is the upstairs of my house. I do have five bedrooms upstairs and they are vast, vastly different. I rushed the process so much, and Kristen will tell you I rushed it so much that I wasn't thinking about that or closet space at the time. And I only had four, four kids at the time. So the rooms are such different sizes. But for me, and I said it, I stitched the video, you know, Elliot has the smallest room. Yes. He's the oldest, but he has the least amount of stuff. He doesn't have toys. He doesn't have a rocking horse. He doesn't have a toddler bed in a crib. He doesn't have a bunch of stuff. Right. And so he gets the smallest room. Right now he has his own bathroom, but he has the smallest room. Lux sort of floats between sharing a room with Lincoln, sharing a room with Creed, depending on his mood. So Lincoln has two beds in his room and Creed has two beds in his room because Lux likes to go between. Those are two of the biggest rooms. And then right now, Valley and verse are still side by side in cribs in Valley's room. But verse will share a room with Rio at some point. The rooms are vastly different. That's part of the reason why I want to move because it just. We're out of space. But I say all that to say I'm not going to give my biological child the biggest room in the house simply because that's their only home. Like, that's never going to fly with me. That's never going to. One of my kids has this situation at their dad's house and he literally said to me, he doesn't have his own bathroom, he doesn't have his own this, he doesn't have his own that. But the biological child between them does have all that stuff.
Kael Lowry
It's just another reason to be resentful because those things will build resentment over time. And I don't think that's good. I would actually argue and say that if you have a child within your marriage that you're still in. The child from outside of that I would venture to say should should be considered more.
Lindsey Chrisley
I would agree with you.
Kael Lowry
Okay, let me ask you how you would feel about this. So in my current house when we moved in, it was just Jackson and I. Still just Jackson and I. I gave him the biggest room closest to my bedroom. Let's say I end up with someone who has children. The other bedrooms that are upstairs are good sized bedrooms. They're across the hall from each other. And it's. Each of those rooms has their own, like sink and closet area. But the bath and shower are shared. So it's like a Jack and Jill.
Lindsey Chrisley
Okay.
Kael Lowry
But they have their own, like sinks. Then I have a bedroom downstairs on the main floor that has its own bathroom, shower situation within the bedroom. Am I wrong for allowing Jackson to stay in the room that he's in?
Lindsey Chrisley
Nope. At that point, at the point that you bought the house, moved in the way like you to there. That's just what it was when you guys moved in. So if you ended up with someone that had children, you would make it work and you would. That doesn't mean anything less for the space. Just like you shouldn't. Jackson should not have to uproot what he knew and what he came into. For a blended family, you're going to blend accordingly. But I don't think that you should uproot him to give somebody else that room.
Kael Lowry
I Agree.
Lindsey Chrisley
It's already a big enough adjustment to blend a family. I don't think taking him from the only room that he has known in that home from him would be the way to. To do it.
Kael Lowry
It's been said to me that Jackson would be the oldest, so why would he need to be closest to my bedroom and also have the larger room? And it's like, well, last time I checked, we moved in here with the intention of it just being us. Yeah. Also, last time I checked, you don't pay for anything around here.
Lindsey Chrisley
Like, I'm thinking of my house right now. If another child was added into it, I would have to make it work because all the rooms are taken. So we would just, like, figure it out. But no, I'm not gonna uproot. I'm not. No. Absolutely not. Shit hits the fan mid recording, and we have to pause. And then Matt called me. Larry from Teen mom called me. Shit's hitting the fan. Lindsay. What the fuck is going on, y'?
Kael Lowry
All? We just blacked out.
Lindsey Chrisley
Blacked out mid recording. Have no idea what is going on. I think we were talking about blended rooms, maybe blended families.
Kael Lowry
These phone calls that have come through during this recording have me very unwell also. I think my period's coming. So scared about that. And on that note, we have foul play.
Lindsey Chrisley
We still have foul play. When in doubt, foul play. Y' all ladies keep me going every week with all the laughs and unhinged stories. I never thought I would have a foul play, but here we go. My boyfriend and I have been together for 13 years this September. First of all, I'm unsure about the boyfriend for. For 13 years. That makes me very uncomfy. So this morning, we were doing the do before he went to work. Things were getting hot and heavy, and I'm getting close to climax when I tell him, I'm ready to let go, if you will. Wait. Well, I tell him, I'm getting ready to let go, if you will. And as soon as I start to climax, I left out. I let out the loudest fart I swear I have ever heard in my entire life. He starts laughing. I start laughing. We keep going for more for a few more minutes. And when we're done, this man looked at me and said, you tooted my soul, left my body. Thank you, or thank you, ladies, for the laughs. Every week I this is giving.
Kael Lowry
This is giving. You farting on the couch.
Lindsey Chrisley
This is giving queef. And they're going to think it's a fart.
Kael Lowry
No, I feel like they know if It's a queef. Or if it's a fart.
Lindsey Chrisley
No, there's no way.
Kael Lowry
There's like air. The air that comes out sounds like a different sound.
Lindsey Chrisley
Like doggy style is gonna get me with the queefs.
Kael Lowry
Every time I wonder why.
Lindsey Chrisley
The friction, the position and just like packing air right in, you know what I mean?
Kael Lowry
Remember that one time that I told you that I queefed and I was like, well, maybe you should feel me, fill me with dick instead of air. Like, because I thought it was gonna be funny and like, it just didn't play the way that I'm sure you heard his feelings. Oh, like it was dead silent in the bed until the morning. But like, like, I'm not trying to hurt your feelings. I saw it on a meme the.
Lindsey Chrisley
First time I queefed. I was a full blown adult and like, I had no idea what was happening.
Kael Lowry
I had. If I had queefed before, I didn't know about it. I don't know if it's something that like, if it's only loud, like you know about it, like, aren't there like more like silent queefs?
Lindsey Chrisley
I don't know. Mine have only ever been loud.
Kael Lowry
Well, anyway, this is the first time I've ever known of a queef and.
Lindsey Chrisley
So this girl that wrote in, she should have just said it was a.
Kael Lowry
Queef, but the fact that he said you tooted childish, it's like childish and I just, I can't get behind it. Okay, guys, thank you for always supporting our show.
