Overview
- On the November 3 Armchair Expert episode, Shepard recounted a Nashville outing where a friend said his daughters had “no kind of respect” and seemed “a little entitled.”
- Shepard said he and Bell prioritize raising girls who challenge adults, citing a future scenario in which a 19-year-old faces a “creep” of a boss and needs to push back.
- He added that he is willing to tolerate behavior others find embarrassing in public because he values their confidence and self-advocacy as they grow up.
- Shepard has previously said swearing is allowed at home in certain situations but not in public, describing it as a contextual rule rather than a free-for-all.
- Coverage situates the comments alongside earlier parenting choices reported about the couple, including letting their children try non-alcoholic beer and roam an amusement park on their own.
