00:00:20.440 --> 00:00:23.800
Hey, everyone, welcome back to We Are the Hansens, the
2
00:00:23.879 --> 00:00:28.519
podcast where we talk about family, life, laughter, and everything
3
00:00:28.559 --> 00:00:33.000
in between. I'm your host, Maya Hanson, and today we're
4
00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:36.920
getting real honest and a little silly with a topic
5
00:00:37.039 --> 00:00:42.159
that's bound to spark some playful arguments. In our house.
6
00:00:43.560 --> 00:00:50.200
Who's the loudest, messiest, meanest, and funniest in the family
7
00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:54.320
With thirteen kids, you better believe we've got some top
8
00:00:54.600 --> 00:01:00.560
contenders for each category. This episode is part fun, part
9
00:01:00.679 --> 00:01:06.120
family psychology, and all about celebrating the chaos that makes
10
00:01:06.120 --> 00:01:11.879
our household uniquely ours. You might be asking why we
11
00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:19.120
are doing this. Honestly because it's fun, but also because
12
00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:25.120
these labels give us insight. The loudest might be the
13
00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:33.640
most passionate, messiest, maybe the most creative, the meanest, possibly
14
00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:39.480
the strongest advocate, and the funniest while they keep us
15
00:01:39.680 --> 00:01:46.120
all sane. This is a love letter to our kids' personalities,
16
00:01:47.319 --> 00:01:51.959
even the challenging ones. And if you're a parent, this
17
00:01:52.120 --> 00:01:55.959
might help you reflect on your own wild bunch at home.
18
00:01:57.239 --> 00:02:04.159
Let's break it down. These aren't a word, they're acknowledgements
19
00:02:04.239 --> 00:02:09.280
of the energy each kid brings to the family. The loudest.
20
00:02:09.639 --> 00:02:15.039
Without a doubt, this kid is the walking megaphone in
21
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:22.800
our house. Whether they're cheering, tattling, or just existing. A
22
00:02:22.960 --> 00:02:30.479
full volume silence is not an option, but let's be honest.
23
00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:37.719
They bring energy that rallies the whole family. I would
24
00:02:37.759 --> 00:02:42.400
have to say would be Morgan. Granted she doesn't do
25
00:02:42.520 --> 00:02:45.479
a lot of tattling because now she's an adult, but
26
00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:51.120
she does a lot of cheering and full volume singing.
27
00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:57.960
I would have to say that you could walk into
28
00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:02.639
our house and regardless who you are, you would find
29
00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:07.639
her singing her heart out. So I do have to
30
00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:15.800
give Morgan the loudest, the messiest. There's always one. The
31
00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:21.439
trail of toys, the pile of clothes that never makes
32
00:03:21.439 --> 00:03:26.080
it to the hamper, the craft supplies that somehow got
33
00:03:26.120 --> 00:03:31.439
glued to the dog. The kid lives in a tornado.
34
00:03:32.759 --> 00:03:36.919
But their creativity is unmatched. I would have to give
35
00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:42.000
that to my Analin, because that girl will leave her
36
00:03:42.039 --> 00:03:47.639
clothes wherever she's at. When she changes, she will leave
37
00:03:48.719 --> 00:03:54.759
her mess of paint or you know, clippings from her papers,
38
00:03:54.840 --> 00:04:00.439
from cutting up stuff wherever it's at. And it's like
39
00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:05.680
pulling teeth to get that girl to clean up her mess.
40
00:04:06.360 --> 00:04:15.520
But she's definitely the messiest, the meanest. This one's touchy,
41
00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:22.240
but hear me out. Sometimes mean is misunderstood leadership. This
42
00:04:22.360 --> 00:04:29.639
child is assertive, very blunt, and fearcfully protective. They might
43
00:04:29.720 --> 00:04:33.920
dish out tough love, but underneath it there's often a
44
00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:37.519
softy And I'm going to have to say that would
45
00:04:37.560 --> 00:04:47.040
be my torn. She is definitely very blunt, and sometimes
46
00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:51.959
she can say some pretty rude stuff. I've always corrected
47
00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:56.839
her and tried to get her to like chill out,
48
00:04:56.959 --> 00:05:02.399
not to say the stuff she says. But yesterday, as
49
00:05:02.439 --> 00:05:05.439
I was listening to her outside playing with her friends,
50
00:05:06.480 --> 00:05:12.120
I heard her say this. She was playing with her
51
00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:17.079
niece and her friend was mad because she was playing
52
00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:20.639
with her niece and not her. And mind you, Torrin
53
00:05:20.759 --> 00:05:23.399
was trying to get her friend to play with her
54
00:05:23.480 --> 00:05:28.319
niece too with Torren, and the little girl did not
55
00:05:28.439 --> 00:05:34.319
want to Torren. I hear her say to her friend,
56
00:05:36.120 --> 00:05:40.920
my niece means more to me than you, so if
57
00:05:40.920 --> 00:05:49.920
you don't like it, you can go home. And I
58
00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:53.000
couldn't believe what I was hearing. Guys, I just couldn't
59
00:05:53.040 --> 00:05:57.680
believe it. I was in shock that she said that,
60
00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:04.959
but she is pretty bold and blunt about it, and
61
00:06:06.439 --> 00:06:12.560
that's how she is, you know. I maybe she gets
62
00:06:12.639 --> 00:06:18.800
it from me because I'm very blunt and honest. I
63
00:06:18.839 --> 00:06:23.519
don't know. I think I've taught them like, you need
64
00:06:23.560 --> 00:06:28.120
to say it how it is, and yeah, you're gonna
65
00:06:28.199 --> 00:06:33.519
hurt some feelings. But if it's truth and you're being
66
00:06:33.519 --> 00:06:37.319
honest about it and that's how you feel, sometimes the
67
00:06:37.360 --> 00:06:44.879
truth hurts. Funniest. Every family needs a comic relief, and
68
00:06:45.439 --> 00:06:51.399
this one delivers. Whether it's intentional jokes or just the
69
00:06:51.439 --> 00:06:55.040
way they think and speak, this kid cracks everyone up,
70
00:06:55.800 --> 00:07:02.600
even during meltdowns. Future stand up comic goes to Keenan,
71
00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:08.639
that boy is the family clown. He is the family jokester.
72
00:07:09.319 --> 00:07:14.800
He makes us all laugh. And what can I say?
73
00:07:14.920 --> 00:07:22.639
I mean, he's fun, he's blunt, He's just Keenan. Let's
74
00:07:22.680 --> 00:07:26.680
There are some honorable mentions in there. Most dramatic would
75
00:07:26.759 --> 00:07:32.279
have to be Maddie, you know it's always Oscar ready.
76
00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:37.759
Most chill, I think would have to be Colin could
77
00:07:37.759 --> 00:07:42.360
sleep through a fire drill. The kid is just chill.
78
00:07:42.519 --> 00:07:48.519
Most likely to start a sibling war, master button pusher Gavin,
79
00:07:50.160 --> 00:07:55.360
and most likely to end a sibling war. The family
80
00:07:55.399 --> 00:08:00.519
therapist in training, I would have to say, would probably
81
00:08:00.800 --> 00:08:09.360
go to Logan or Adam, because those two they're very
82
00:08:10.040 --> 00:08:16.759
you know, business like, you know, just kind of chill. Tristan,
83
00:08:16.959 --> 00:08:20.639
I would have to say he would probably be more
84
00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:24.959
to end the sibling war, just because Tristan's very quiet.
85
00:08:25.199 --> 00:08:32.879
Tristan isn't like loud, he's just, you know, there, he's
86
00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:36.600
very he thinks before he speaks type of kid. So
87
00:08:36.919 --> 00:08:39.360
those three would have to get most likely to end
88
00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:45.639
the sibling war. Kenna is pretty chill, so that I
89
00:08:45.639 --> 00:08:50.080
would give to her as well. What makes families great
90
00:08:50.279 --> 00:08:54.039
isn't how alike we are, it's how we balance each
91
00:08:54.039 --> 00:08:59.440
other out. The loudest kids challenge us to listen, the
92
00:08:59.480 --> 00:09:05.360
messy one teach us patients, the mean ones make us resilient,
93
00:09:05.639 --> 00:09:09.000
and the funny ones they remind us not to take
94
00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:15.919
life too seriously. These personality extremes actually shape the family culture.
95
00:09:16.919 --> 00:09:23.279
They teach adaptability, compassion, and appreciation for each other's differences.
96
00:09:25.759 --> 00:09:28.440
So where do we land? We land in the middle
97
00:09:28.559 --> 00:09:32.720
of beautiful chaos. We might not always agree on who's
98
00:09:32.960 --> 00:09:38.720
the loudest or messiest, but we will always value how
99
00:09:38.799 --> 00:09:42.879
each child shows up in the family. They are who
100
00:09:42.919 --> 00:09:48.120
they are and we love them for it. Try this
101
00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:53.600
exercise with your own family, use humor, keep it kind,
102
00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:59.960
and see what comes up. These categories are just conversation starters,
103
00:10:00.600 --> 00:10:05.080
but they can open up some meaningful insight and probably
104
00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:08.240
a lot of laugh. Thanks for hanging out with me
