But what Kotb, 58, really wanted to know was what it’s like for Bryn having Frankel as a parent.
“It’s crazy,” giggled Bryn, eliciting a laugh from her mom.

“Like, all of the stories and everything,” replied the teen, who Bethenny shares with her ex, Jason Hoppy. “Adventures every day,“ added Bethenny, who wore acolorful one-piece swimsuitthat showcased the iconicTODAYtypography and logo, along with black pants, for her hosting duties.

“You reach a point and then you get really mad,” she said to Frankel, who then explained that the phrase she uses when she’s reached her limit is, “Shut the program down.”
Relating to this, Kotb continued, “The boiling point, we’ve all been there. It’s the point where you’re about to tip over.” The journalist, who herself is a mother todaughters Haley, 6, and Hope, 4,also wanted to quiz Frankel on what it’s like parenting a 13-year-old.

You know, it’s the ocean, it’s moving. You cannot predict the ocean. You cannot predict the tide. You have to swim under the wave. You cannot fight the wave.”
