Pay attention to your resentment. Determine whether that's you or the situation. Sort out the issue. Hand more responsibility to your kids. Do not do anything for your children that they could do themselves. The other possibility is that you're immature and you're not shouldering your responsibility properly. Well, and it's not net it's not I'm not I'm not accusing you of that at all. Do an exhaustive inventory. Here's all the reasons. Reasons I'm guilty about being a mother. The adversary is making his case. Now you know what you're up against. Next thing is: why might this be wrong?
Jordan B. Peterson 1:04
I was way more intense than I was expecting.
Dr. Jordan B. Peterson 1:06
The questions were very high quality and very deep and difficult. This is where you make a decision of conscience and you decide whether you're going to stick to what you believe to be right, come hell or high water. You have to decide what you're gonna stake yourself on.
Jordan B. Peterson 1:32
Hi, I'm Michaela Fuller, formerly Peterson. You may wonder why I'm on my dad's YouTube channel. Well, I'm thrilled to announce that given the response to our last call-in episode filmed in my studio. And because we had a great time doing it. I assume you had a great time doing it. I had a great time doing it, yeah. Okay, good. We've decided to make this call in thing a regular occurrence. So I'll be joining my dad for our new show, Answer the Call, where we answer your questions live. We're gonna be covering a wide range of topics and we both hope this will be useful to a lot of people. Today we're focusing on early motherhood, which is incredibly special to me because I had a baby about a month ago. My third kiddo.
Jordan B. Peterson 2:10
We have a great lineup of callers ready to share their questions today that hopefully apply to you guys as well. Our first caller today is Denite in Vermont. Denite, are you there?
Dr. Jordan B. Peterson 2:21
Hi. How are you doing?
Denite 2:23
I'm great. How are you doing?
Dr. Jordan B. Peterson 2:24
I hear you have a question. I
Denite 2:27
do have a question. All right, far away. Yeah. Yeah. So I uh just gave birth to my first child three weeks ago and I have a very unusual challenge that has to do with my family of origin. So um Лайл брат из аумен. And he's sixteen years younger than me. So I I kind of helped raise him. So I really, really love him like he's my own. And um I'm the only one in the family that doesn't call him by his new name and pronouns. And honestly, I I don't really call him anything. I just like use workarounds to not offend him or, you know, uh lie to him as per your advice. So um He thinks he's gonna be called auntie and I'm not planning on lying to my daughter about gender. So how do I Tell him that he's going to be uncle without blowing up my relationship with him and maybe everybody in my family.
Denite 3:23
And how do I protect my daughter from her um ideologically adult relatives?
Dr. Jordan B. Peterson 3:30
Wow.
Denite 3:30
Yeah.
Dr. Jordan B. Peterson 3:32
Yeah, I guess we're gonna start out with an easy question, are we? Okay, let me ask you a question. Why have you decided to take the stance that you're taking? Like you said that you love your your brother and I'm not questioning that. And you an argument could be made, and people will make this, that if you loved him, you know, you would go along with what he is um acting out, but you've decided that you're not going to do that. And so why have you done that?
Denite 4:03
My intuition and you, honestly. Like I I think I you know, have been watching enough of your videos and and everything that I am starting to see I'm starting to see things. Clearly and I don't think it's right. I don't think what he's doing is right.
Dr. Jordan B. Peterson 4:24
How do you know you're s you're seeing things clearly? Like what what makes you inclined to believe that?
Denite 4:31
I think because it's the only thing that feels right. I mean I was I think if you took who I was five or ten years ago and pasted it over this situation.
