Jenni ‘JWoww’ Farley, Kylie Kelce Don’t Like Unsolicited Parenting Advice

Jenni “JWoww” Farley isn’t a fan of giving out any unsolicited parenting advice.

On the Thursday, June 25 episode of the Not Gonna Lie podcast, the Jersey Shore: Family Vacation star, 40, joined host Kylie Kelce to talk about everything from the hit reality TV show to her life as a mom. Farley shared that she and her fellow costars who are moms have one rule when it comes to giving each other mom advice.

“Our mantra is we don’t give mother advice unless someone asks for it because there is nothing worse than somebody giving unwanted parenting advice,” Farley said, noting that she doesn’t plan to give mom-to-be Samantha “Sammi Sweetheart” Giancola any unsolicited advice.

“I will be there for her every step of the way. I will tell her what I did in that specific situation, which might be different than hers, but I will never give a mom unwanted advice,” the mom of two continued. “Because it takes a village, first off. And also, nobody’s f—— perfect. Everybody’s winging it. And as long as you’re trying to keep your f—— kid alive, that’s it. You’re doing great, sweetie.”

Kelce, who’s a mom of four daughters under 5 years old, echoed the same sentiments as Farley, adding that every child is different.

“I always like to point out when people ask me for advice now because I’m four deep. I’m like, first of all, I’m 5 and under. I can’t tell you anything over 5 right now,” Kelce said. “And also, every single one of our kids are so different that if I gave you advice that applied to our first, it wouldn’t have worked for our second group.”

“So, the idea of people giving that unsolicited advice, you’re like, ‘can you put a cork in it?’ ” she added.

Farley described unwanted parenting advice as “condescending.”

“To me, it’s condescending, and it’s you’re projecting. Because to me, I’m like, ‘Why are you giving that to me? I don’t want it.’ And you’re just trying to say a situation that happened in your life that’s not currently happening in mine,” Farley added.

“Like you just said, you have four girls under 5, all different, all in the same house. I have a son with autism. I have a daughter who’s highly emotional. I can’t even give the same advice for your own house [that I use] in my own house, because I have two different completely parenting styles when it comes to them,” she said. “So, the f— kind of advice am I gonna give? Holding on by a thread.”

The Jersey Shore alum married Roger Mathews in 2015, whom she met on the show six years prior. Although Farley and Mathews divorced in 2019, they remain in each other’s lives to co-parent their son Greyson, 9, and daughter Meilani, 10.

Kelce and her husband Jason Kelce, 37, who announced his retirement from the NFL in March 2024, are the proud parents of four daughters — newborn Finnley “Finn” Anne, Bennett Llewellyn, 2, Elliotte Ray, 4, and Wyatt Elizabeth, 5. 

On the Thursday, Jan. 23 episode of her Not Gonna Lie podcast, Kylie described raising children as the “most selfless” and “all-encompassing” thing someone will do in their life.

“At any point in the day, you do have to always be concerned about the tiny humans you’re responsible for, but I think there is a misconception that it wipes out the rest of you and makes you solely mom,” she said.

“Whereas what we need to do is tack it on to the end of the resume and keep the rest of the s— that also defines us as who we are as people because we’re still us,” she added. “Just because we made a human being or we are a mother to a tiny human doesn’t mean that we are only mom.”
