Kylie Kelce is sharing one of the most “underrated, difficult parts of parenting.”
On the Thursday, July 31 episode of her Not Gonna Lie podcast, the mom of four, 33, candidly opened up about one of the hardest parts of parenthood: feeding your children. Kylie, who’s a mom to four daughters with her husband Jason Kelce, said that since she became a mother, she has had to refrain from doing a low-effort “girl dinner.”
“I would say that feeding your children is one of the most underrated, difficult parts of parenting,” she said. “It’s difficult because before I had children, I could do ‘girl dinner.’ I could slice off a few slices of cheese. I could eat a handful of Tostitos chips. I could eat an apple with peanut butter, and that could constitute my dinner.”
“But that’s not how the world works anymore, and now we have to eat three meals a day. And the decision-making is overwhelming. I will tell you that,” she added. “Also, the need for being prepared. It’s just — it’s so much. It’s so much. It takes up so much of my brain.”

Kylie and the retired NFL player, 37, who announced his retirement from the NFL in March 2024, are the proud parents of four daughters: Finnley “Finn” Anne, 4 months, Bennett Llewellyn, 2, Elliotte Ray, 4, and Wyatt Elizabeth, 5.
On the Thursday, July 17, episode of the Not Gonna Lie podcast, the podcaster opened up to her guest, actress Mandy Moore, about some of the “more honest or humbling things” her daughters have said to her. Kylie recalled a particular moment where her oldest daughter commented on her stomach.
“I also like to share some of the more honest or humbling things my girls have said to me,” she began. “I’ve been told that I have a big butt. My oldest called me evil a couple weeks ago. Yesterday, specifically, she pressed on my stomach and said, ‘it looks like you still have a baby in there.'”
The couple’s oldest daughter is constantly catching her mother off guard. At the start of the Thursday, June 19, episode of the Not Gonna Lie podcast, the podcaster shared how Wyatt expertly responded to her Zillennial slang.
“I’m not gonna lie, yesterday, I was caught off guard because I asked Wyatt, ‘Are you for real for real?’ and she said, ‘No it’s pretend pretend,’ ” she said. “I had to stifle a laugh on that one because she was deadass.”

Life as a mom of four under 5 years old can get a bit hectic sometimes. During another episode of her podcast, Kylie revealed that her older daughters, Elliotte and Wyatt, would be going to camp for the first time. Since they are still young, she said that it was only going to be for a couple of hours and not for the full week; however, the ultimate goal was to simply get them out the house.
“My kids are officially done with their school year, so I thought I’d get honest about summer break as a parent. Everybody knows that when school lets out, that means we have all day every day at home with each other,” Kylie began. “This summer is the first summer where the girls are actually going to do some camps. And when I say camps, I mean, they’re 5 and 4 guys. It’s like a three- to four-day situation.”
“I think it’s maximum three hours,” she continued. “We’re really it’s just to get them out somewhere else, anywhere else, and moving around.”
She went on to express the hardships of finding an activity that all of her children could enjoy, before sharing how she plans to manage summer break as a mom of four.
“I will say that our age range right now, 5 to — I don’t even know how old the youngest one is,” she paused, before continuing, “I don’t know. You get it. She’s new. It’s hard to find an activity for everyone.”
“So, as long as I can hook Finn to the front of me and everybody else has their shoes on, we just we get the heck out,” she added.
