are you saying I can't be tough as nails?
I can be tough as nails.

is that, uh, Kelly is lucky to have parents
who bring both strength and sensitivity to her life.
I mean, you guys-- you guys care about each other and--
and support each other, even though you're not
married to one another.
>> Liam: No, that's true.
I mean, Steffy and I are really good at that, supporting each
other and it's-- you know what, it's because we just don't
ever want Kelly to feel stuck in the middle.
>> Bill: Yeah, well, that's very admirable,
though I imagine it's also easier said than done.

Mostly just because it's-- it's all the history-- history

But, um, but at the end of the day,

the kids and their well-being.
