Scheana Shay welcomed her mother Erika Van Olphen and husband Brock Davies to her podcast final week, and throughout the present, Erika defined why she and Brock have been identified to butt heads.
Months after Brock admitted to feeling pissed off by Erika’s involvement, in addition to the involvement of Scheana’s sister, Cortney van Olphen, within the parenting of his daughter, one-year-old Summer Moon Honey Davies, the Vanderpump Rules star questioned her mom about what irks her essentially the most about Brock.
“I think Brock likes to push my buttons,” Erika revealed on the December 16 episode of Scheananigans.
“100 percent. He likes to push everyone’s buttons,” Scheana agreed.
But Erika insisted there was extra to it, saying that Brock is argumentative even when he doesn’t must be.
“Even if he didn’t necessarily agree or disagree on something, he would want to flip it to just kinda get something out of me,” she defined. “[He does] that with anything and everything just to try and get a rise out of me sometimes.”
“If that’s how you feel, I’m sorry. Because I feel like when I do it, I just wanna get perspective on things … [And] I think it is very healthy in families discord to have opposing perspectives,” Brock responded.
According to Erika, she and Brock disagree on sure issues pertaining to the parenting of Summer. And, regardless of having to “bite [her] tongue a lot” and “not give [her] opinion,” Erika mentioned she respects the truth that Summer is Scheana and Brock’s little one.
“I think it’s amazing how you guys are very routined with [Summer’s schedule]. Do I think naps have to be to the minute? Absolutely not. That can kind of irk me, but I always try to respect that,” she said, noting that particular occasions must be an exception.
“I agree… [But] if it wasn’t for the forcing of those moments, we wouldn’t have a scheduled child,” Brock mentioned. “We wouldn’t have a routine where she’s in a routine. Because if I left that to the wayside, there’d be more chances of her not napping at 1.”
And after Erika pressed on, saying that there’s “some leeway here and there for certain situations,” Brock puzzled the place the road will get drawn.
As Brock continued to elucidate how Summer responds to her schedule and would doubtless accomplish that if there have been a scarcity thereof, Erika identified that she cares for Summer commonly and is aware of the kid “as well as you guys.”
While Brock and Erika have differing opinions on sure issues, Erika made it clear that she is grateful Scheana has him in her life.
“I love Brock. I don’t think there is a better partner for you. I wouldn’t want you with anybody else, and I think Brock is the best dad for Summer. He’s a great dad,” she instructed Scheana.
Also, throughout the podcast, Erika shared her first impression of Brock’s household.
“I think they were different than… the impression I got from what Brock said,” Erika defined. “I can’t explain what I was really thinking his mom and sisters were gonna be, but when I met them, they were just — not that he ever made them sound abnormal — his mom was just, I thought his mom was just like me. I thought we had so many things in common. His sisters were just great. It’s not that Brock gave me any wild stories, but I guess just hearing about him growing up on a farm in New Zealand and then moving to Australia, I don’t know what I was expecting, but when I met them, I absolutely fell in love with the family.”
“We all got along just perfectly. It was a very pleasant surprise,” she added.
Vanderpump Rules will return for a tenth season early subsequent yr on Bravo.
