Kylie Kelce's 'Kitchen Phone' Just Might be the Solution We Need for Our Teens
With all the information about how cell phones negatively affect kids, it's such a scary time to be a parent. I have years before my little ones reach the teen years but thinking about rules for cell phones and screentime and social media already keeps me up at night. Not to mention my 7-year-old has already asked for his own phone. (It wasn't supposed to happen this soon!) With four young daughters at home, Kylie Kelce is already thinking about phones too. And instead of letting them all get phones whenever they want or totally banning them until they move out, Kylie has a plan that's a happy medium. She just revealed her plan for the 'kitchen phone,' and we are totally stealing it. In a new episode of her Not Gonna Lie With Kylie Kelce podcast, the 33-year-old opened up about her thoughts on phones when her kids Wyatt, 5, Elliotte, 4, Bennett, 2, and Finnley, 4 months, grow up. 'I actually believe that we will be doing what I'm calling the kitchen phone,' Kylie, who shares her daughters with husband Jason Kelce, shared, per PEOPLE. More from SheKnows Why Brooke Hogan Asked To Be Removed From Dad Hulk Hogan's Will & Won't See $25 Million Fortune 'In other words, there will be one or two extra cellphones besides mom and dad's cellphone,' she continued. 'That they can take with them if they have, somewhere they're going where there will not be a parent or if they will need to get a hold of us or if they're at something sports related, whatever.' 'But that they can take one of those cell phones, that the cellphones are only kept to the first floor of the house,' she added. 'So you can still have your friends have that phone number. They can still call you. You can still use the phone on the first floor of the house. But they live in the kitchen. So they're not gonna go upstairs. Not going to the basement.' 'They're going nowhere but the first floor, communal living space,' she added. Kylie's guest Kelly Ripa added that computers should also stay in the kitchen, and Kylie agreed. My family had a kitchen phone growing up. It was tethered to the wall and would ring constantly with calls from friends and family checking in. It was a family device that allowed me and my siblings to stay connected, plan hang outs, and call our dad at work. Although basically no one has home phones anymore, Kylie's modern version of a kitchen phone brings back all the good things about community devices — which stay out of the bedroom and don't belong to any one person — with potentially fewer harmful effects that cell phones have on kids and teens. For the record, we also had a desktop computer in the family room, which I would also love to bring back. We need a place for kids to do homework and play games out in the open, and I love the idea of a family desktop that kids could use instead of my laptop. If we all turned to this method, our kids would probably be happier too. After all, in a recent conversation with members of our SheKnows Teen Council, many agreed to giving up their personal smartphones if everyone else did. Like 17-year-old Kaya, who gave up her phone for summer camp and felt free. 'I didn't want my phone back, because I knew I would get overwhelmed by, like, everything I missed, and I was happy not knowing it,' she told us, adding that the relief from not being tethered to technology was short-lived. 'Once I had [my phone] back, everyone was texting me, and I was like, 'what happened?' You can see that everybody's up to date, and you feel behind. Then you just feel … not pressured, but sort of pressured.' She added, 'If nobody had a phone, I would be completely fine,' Kaya says. 'But if I was the one without it, that would be really hard.' Clive, 16, says that he doesn't use his phone 'that much' during the day other than for texting. 'It's like, if no one had a phone, it wouldn't be an issue,' he told us. 'But everyone's so used to having phones, it's like, I can't be the only person without a phone.' Kylie didn't mention if the kitchen phones would be smartphones or flip phones, but an old school flip phone might be a good idea. 19-year-old Quinn recently traded his iPhone for a flip phone and feels much happier. 'Me getting rid of my phone wasn't a statement about society; I just made a conscious effort to get rid of the number one stressor in my life,' Quinn told SheKnows. 'And now that I have, I'm living a considerably better life. I'm having a much better time. It's hard for some people to understand, but it's really not that complex. Phones aren't good for people's mental health.'Best of SheKnows 20 Best Brands to Shop for Trendy Hipster Kids' Clothes This Summer This Is What Summer Looks Like When You're a Royal Kid Celebrity Parents Whose Kids Have Big Age Gaps Solve the daily Crossword

Saskatchewan Opposition calls for rent control
Saskatchewan's Opposition NDP says it plans to introduce a rent control bill in the legislature this fall. At a news conference in Saskatoon on Thursday, Opposition housing critic April ChiefCalf said the party has started a public consultation process, inviting people to share their experiences and suggestions at a website the NDP has set up. ChiefCalf said feedback will shape the private member's legislation she intends to introduce. "Saskatchewan people are drowning in debt. We hear stories of people paying their rent on credit, forced to choose between paying rent or putting food on the table," she said. B.C., Ontario, Manitoba and P.E.I. already have rent control measures. ChiefCalf said seniors on fixed incomes are bearing the brunt of it. "I have also spoken to young people who don't believe they will ever be able to afford the down payment on their first home," she said. Asked for comment on the proposal, the provincial government provided a statement saying rent control would make the housing situation in the province worse. "Rent controls have caused housing shortages wherever they have been tried," the statement said. "Jurisdictions that have introduced rent control legislation frequently see fewer new housing units being built, ultimately resulting in less affordable housing being available." The statement referenced the Saskatchewan Housing Benefit, which provided some assistance to low to moderate income families for rent and utilities. It also mentioned that social housing is available, and that the province has offered grants for secondary suites and PST rebates for new home construction to stimulate the housing supply. Jean Carroll, 86, was at the NDP news conference promoting a petition campaign after seeing rents skyrocket in her apartment building. "Our rents have gone from 10 to 30 per cent practically, and that in dollars is $185 to $425 per month increase. We cannot afford it. It's hard to understand how the increases go unchecked in this province when in other provinces they have rent controls," Carroll said. "I want this government to wake up and smell the coffee. We've got rent control in other provinces and it works very well." Another tenant, 76-year-old Linda McWaters, said she and her 73-year-old husband have had to keep working to cover their rent. Their combined pension increase this year was just $42, while their rent rose by $156. "It's not by choice, it's by kind of necessity. We're not in a position where we can't move things," McWaters said.

Michael Whatley, RNC chairman endorsed by Trump, launches Senate bid in North Carolina
GASTONIA, N.C. (AP) — Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Whatley launched his campaign for North Carolina's open U.S. Senate seat Thursday, equipped with President Donald Trump's endorsement and a large fundraising network for a potential general election bid against formidable Democrat Roy Cooper. The contest is expected to be one of the most competitive and expensive 2026 races. Speaking at an event held at an old textile mill near Charlotte, Whatley pledged his allegiance to the president, who will be a major focus for both sides in a swing state where Trump had one of his smallest margins of victory last year. 'I am proud to stand with him and fight every single day for every family in every community,' Whatley said. 'President Trump deserves an ally and North Carolina deserves a strong conservative voice in the Senate. I will be that voice.' Whatley led the state Republican Party for almost five years before being elected Republican National Committee chairman 17 months ago with Trump's backing. He seeks to succeed GOP Sen. Thom Tillis, who barely a month ago announced that he would not run for a third term after clashing with Trump. Whatley's plan to run became public a week ago, after which Trump said on social media that Whatley would 'make an unbelievable Senator from North Carolina' and that he would have 'my Complete and Total Endorsement." Whatley got in the race after Lara Trump — the president's daughter-in-law, a former RNC co-chair with Whatley and a North Carolina native — passed on her own bid. Democrats optimistic about Cooper, Whatley calls his views extreme The Democratic side of the race took shape earlier this week as Cooper, a former two-term governor, announced Monday that he would run. The next day ex-U.S. Rep. Wiley Nickel ended his campaign and endorsed Cooper. Cooper's entry brings optimism to a party aiming to take back the Senate in 2026 with a net gain of four seats — a tall task in a year when many Senate races are in states Trump won easily in 2024. National Republican campaign strategists say that Cooper's entry makes North Carolina a more difficult seat for the party to hold, though a Democrat hasn't won a Senate race in usually competitive North Carolina since 2008. At least two lesser-known Republican candidates are seeking the GOP nomination. Candidate filing begins in December, with primaries held in March. But Whatley spent his launch speech targeting Cooper, accusing him of 'offering voters an extreme radical-left ideology -- open borders, inflationary spending and a weak America.' 'I believe in a better North Carolina and a stronger America," he added. Whatley will leave RNC post Trump, who narrowly won North Carolina's electoral votes all three times that he ran for president, also supported Whatley to replace national party chair Ronna McDaniel early last year. Whatley joked in April to an Iowa audience that Trump was so pleased with his work as chair that he offered Whatley any job that he wanted in Trump's administration, as long as he stayed on as chair. But with his campaign bid, Whatley will leave the chairman's post. RNC members are expected to vote on his successor next month in Atlanta. Trump has endorsed Florida state Sen. Joe Gruters, a former Florida Republican Party chairman who is now the RNC's treasurer and was co-chair of Trump's 2016 campaign in Florida. While never elected to government office and without a voting record, Whatley has promoted the president's agenda and led the party apparatus that helped him get elected in 2024. So he'll be asked repeatedly to defend a host of Trump initiatives. Whatley, 56, grew up in the western North Carolina mountains. His first major foray into politics came in high school when he volunteered for the 1984 reelection campaign of U.S. Sen. Jesse Helms. He earned law and theology degrees from the University of Notre Dame. Whatley was on a team of lawyers working on George W. Bush's behalf to dispute the outcome of the 2000 presidential contest. He landed a job in Bush's administration with the Department of Energy, followed by a two-year stint working for former North Carolina Sen. Elizabeth Dole. He later lobbied for oil and gas companies. Medicaid cuts will be an issue Whatley spent time during Thursday's speech highlighting what he considers Trump's many accomplishments, including a remake of the Republican Party. But Whatley also will have to defend portions of Trump's new law that includes pulling back on Medicaid, which North Carolina officials say threatens expansion coverage for hundreds of thousands of people. It was Cooper who reached a bipartisan agreement with state Republicans in 2023 to offer Medicaid expansion. Cooper's campaign criticized Whatley as 'a D.C. insider and big oil lobbyist who supports policies that are ripping health care away from North Carolinians and raising costs for middle class families.' In a news release, Cooper campaign manager Jeff Allen added that Cooper has a "record of putting partisanship aside to get results for North Carolina.' At the close of his tenure as state chairman, Whatley highlighted his efforts to encourage early voting and protect 'election integrity,' as well as online fundraising and volunteer training. He cited electoral victories for Republicans on North Carolina's appeals courts and within the General Assembly. But Democrats continued to control the governor's mansion, as Cooper won a second term in 2020. __ Robertson reported from Raleigh, N.C. Beaumont reported from Des Moines, Iowa.
