Jessie James Decker parenting: Pop star Jessie James Decker says her military upbringing helps guide how she raises her kids today. Her positive attitude and resilient parenting style come straight from how her mother handled life as a military spouse.
A Childhood on the Move
Decker’s dad served in the U.S. Air Force. Her mom, Karen, followed him from base to base.
“She never saw it as a challenge,” Decker told Fox News Digital. “She was always proud of her husband’s service.”
Frequent moves didn’t get her mom down. Instead, she made it fun for the family. “She was like, ‘Time to go!’ and we’d just pack up and go,” Decker recalled.
Turning Tough Moments Into Adventures
Even when things got hard, Decker said her mom stayed upbeat. That outlook stuck with the singer.
“She would turn everything into an adventure. We’d explore new cities, go to libraries, and read about where we were moving,” Decker shared.
Her mom taught her to stay flexible and see the good in every new place.
How It Affects Her Parenting
Now, as a mom, Decker brings that same energy into her own home.
“I make everything fun and exciting. Even tough things get a twist of joy,” she said.
The lessons from her childhood help her raise resilient kids who can handle change.
Honoring Military Spouses
To mark Military Spouse Appreciation Day, Decker and her mom hosted an Instagram Live to share their experiences.
The USO praised military spouses for their sacrifices. “They manage the household and solo parent while their partners serve,” the USO posted.
Decker’s story highlights how strong military families can be—and how their strength passes from one generation to the next.
