one comes from Kimberly. Dear Ellen, my husband and his ex share their
kids equally, but she tries toupset our family every chance she gets.
I get along great with the kids, and for the past four years I've

(09:24):
taken them out to buy Father's Daypresents for their dad. This year,
however, without asking me, hisex wife bought my husband a present from
the kids, a Chief's jersey becausehe's such a Chiefs fan. It was
a Travis kelsey. He loves it, but I forbid him to wear it
because I know who really bought it. It wasn't the kids, it was
her. They used to bond overthe Chiefs. They both loved Travis Kelcey.

(09:48):
Ellen, Am I being petty?What is good ex etiquette? All
right? That a jealousy? Wow? Okay, So the ex wife buys
the Chiefs jersey. It's from thekids, but Kimberly thinks it's really from
her, And this is a stabin the back. This is I think

this situation. What should Kimberly do? She being petty? It's eight hundred

are open to reconciling after a phonecall with her. They want to reconnect

(10:30):
with their mom. They want todo well, they wanted to feel good
and they want to speak with her. So hopefully those boys, Sean Preston
and Jane James, who are noweighteen and seventeen, will come back together
with their mama and maybe it willhelp her and ground her. I'll never
forget when they were born. Imean, she just adores those boys,
and so it just makes me feelgood if they can all get back together

Missouri. And they say has nothingto do with Travis and Taylor.
Travis did reveal when he started tofall for Taylor. He said that she

(11:35):

was like, hey, yeah,I could probably set you up with everything,
and she just walked right through thefront door. There's no like going

(20:55):
Taylor Swift on Coast Lebo Drink Highin the Quiet of the night.
I know that I got it andwe are the Ellen Kim Morning. Should
I say we, but I amthe only morning show this week. I'm
Ellen, and thanks for having uson mana one vacation. Darlene got hit
with some COVID, so she's comingback tomorrow. And be careful. It's
going around. So if you thinkyou have allergies or sneezes and maybe you

(21:19):
know, test your sale all right. Every Wednesday we read your letter to
Ellen, and this one comes fromKimberly. She used the word forbid in
the letter, and that's what bothersme. But it says, dear Ellen,
my husband and his ex share theirkids equally. She tries to upset
our family every chance she gets.I get along great with the kids,
and for the past four years I'vetaken them out to buy Father's Day presents

(21:41):
for their dad. This year,without asking me, his ex bought my
husband a present from the kids,a Chief's jersey. It's a kelsey.
He's a huge Chiefs fan. Heloved it, but I forbid him to
wear it because I know who reallybought it. They used to bond over
Kelsey. It wasn't the kids,it was her am I being petty?

(22:03):
Okay, that word forbid, Iforbid him to wear it anyway, Carla,
thank you for calling in. Iknow you didn't like the word forbid
anyway, right, honestly, likehaving those those parameters of like, well,
because she gave it to you,you shouldn't be warned. That to
me is like you can exhaust yourenergy in other places. Then. Yeah.

(22:26):
I think that the example to thekids, now, whether you feel
it or not, I think itwas I think it was Lori who said
that, whether you're feeling that wayor not, you don't put that on
the kids. And you also justrise above it. You don't pretend like
it affects you, even if itdoes deeply. It's almost like an acting

(22:47):
job. I guess. Yeah.A lot of us let our egles get
in the way. I am guiltyof that. I know my relationship.
I do that. But it's beingable to like maybe it might take me
a day or two to realize,oh, shoot, my ego was in
the way, but at least beingable to step back and say, you
know what, this was too much. There's it wasn't necessary for me to
go there. But a lot ofpeople don't have that self awareness and that's
something that we can all definitely worktowards. Love your words, Carla,

(23:11):
thank you, have a good day. Thank you for listening, of course,
thank you, Ellim have a goodday. Oh yeah, and more
calls eight hundred and ninety two ninekost Carla with the K so just get
