Jodie Sweetin and Andrea Barber’s kids aren’t too impressed by their Full House fame.
Speaking with PEOPLE ahead of iHeartRadio’s How Rude, Tanneritos! Wedding Special live event, the costars and moms talked about how their children have reacted to their sitcom stardom.
When it comes to Sweetin’s two daughters — Beatrix, 14, and Zoie, 17 — she confirmed they were never interested in checking out their mom’s acting roots, simply calling it “weird.”
Barber, who is mom to Felicity, 16, and Tate, 19, said her kids also “didn’t really care,”
“They’re just normal teenagers. They don’t care what their parents do,” Barber tells PEOPLE. “They were like, ‘It’s mom. You yell at us to go clean our room.’ “

“Full House” cast
Barber recalls a time where her son’s classmates figured out she was an actress and asked him about Full House.
“I showed Full House to my son when he was in second grade, because he kept going to school and the kids were like, ‘Your mom’s [in] Full House?’”
“[He told me], ‘Everyone has seen Full House, but me, Mom, why?’ And so I’m like, ‘Here’s an episode,’ but that’s about it.”
Whenever Sweetin’s kids saw it, it was because, “It was probably on Nick at Nite or something. I’m sure my mom or dad, when the kids were little, was like, ‘Oh, you want to watch mom on the show?’ And even at two, they were probably like, ‘No.'”
When it came time for the cast to reunite for Fuller House, Barber said her kids “loved coming to the live tapings on Friday nights.”
It gave the costars’ kids a chance to connect, with Barber noting how close in age Felicity and Zoie are.
“Oh my god, they loved hanging out,” Sweetin agrees. “They just wanted to hang out with Michael and Soni and Elias. They didn’t come to see what we did.”
“They were hardly ever in the audience. They were down in the schoolroom. Remember the time we were doing the scene, and I literally heard Zoie yelling in the school room in the back? And I was like, ‘That’s my kid,’ on a tape night,” she laughs.
During the live show, which also featured an appearance from costars John Stamos and Lori Loughlin, the group opened up about whether they had any regrets with the original series, during which they referenced the end of the series.
“I wish we had gotten a proper goodbye,” Barber shared.
“We didn’t know we weren’t coming back. We did it out of order,” Stamos recalled.
“The episodes where Michelle gets amnesia, which was how we ended the show, that was last to air. But we shot those first, and then the last one we shot was the one with Andrew Keegan,” Loughlin explained.
Stamos agreed, adding, “We didn’t know… I think we found out somewhere during that week or something. They kind of said, ‘Okay, well…’ and that wasn’t a good way to go out. But thank God we got to do Fuller House.”
