Parents React to Jenna Bush Hager Throwing Away Daughter’s Art
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
Jenna Bush Hager and Hoda Kotb are reigniting what's turned out to be a contentious conversation.
The co-anchors' official Instagram account uploaded a series of screenshots from a segment the two had back in May, in which Bush Hager opened up about getting caught throwing away some of her daughter Mila's, 10, artwork.
"I was putting Mila to bed and she said, 'I know that you threw out my mirror that I made at camp. I saw it in the trash can and I don't appreciate it," Bush Hager recalled at the time.
She followed up in the caption, "And FYI: Poppy also doesn’t appreciate when JBH throws out art that they make. 😂 But sometimes there's just so. much. stuff!"
4-year-old Hal is probably too young to relate just yet, but other parents sure do.
One commenter admitted to tossing their own kids artwork in the trash "everyday when they get home from school."
"You have to learn to bury it in the trash," another parent advised.
"Lol Jenna, rookie move!" someone else claimed. "That stuff goes in the dumpster where they can’t see it 😂."
"My husband tells his kids that the cleaning people must have accidentally thrown it away. 😂," another tattled.
"Guilt[y] as charged 😂," someone else admitted unabashedly.
Someone else offered another perspective, chiming in, "I saved lots of that stuff bc I never wanted to deal with them asking why I didn’t."
The comment continued, "So here we are, they’re grown with their own houses and they COULD CARE LESS. Face it, parents, you’re damned if you do and if you don’t. 😂."
Another former child artist recalled, "My mom kept almost EVERYTHING my brother and I ever made.🤣 It was kind of fun to go through it when our parents passed away and we were cleaning out the house but we threw it all straight in the trash."
Some commenters offered up helpful solutions, noting,"Take photos and make a Shutterfly paper photo book at the end of the school year."
"Each of my kids had a stuff box. They helped pick what got saved and we could only keep what fit in it! I used copy paper boxes," another suggestion read. "We kept a few things for each year and all theee boys loved having it when older."
But for as many sympathies and all of the alternate ideas that flowed in, not everyone was on board.
"That’s mean, I hope you got it out the trash," one person reprimanded, but we're pretty sure she's been forgiven.
