In a recent interview that sent shockwaves through the Kardashian-themed forums on Reddit, Travis Barker’s 20-year-old son,
Landon Barker, opened up about his reluctance to take on traditional family responsibilities, particularly when it comes to his new half-brother, Rocky, born on November 1st.
Landon made it clear that he has no intentions of changing diapers for baby Rocky, igniting a flurry of reactions from fans.
The news quickly gained traction, prompting a divided response from the online community. Some rallied behind Landon, asserting that the responsibility for Rocky’s care should not automatically fall on his shoulders, questioning why a teenager should be expected to fulfill parental duties.
“Why should he? He’s not the one who chose to have a child. It’s not his responsibility,” one commenter exclaimed, echoing a sentiment shared by many others. Some even suggested the possibility of hired help, considering the Kardashian-Barker lifestyle, with comments like, “This isn’t his baby. He doesn’t need that responsibility. That’s a parent’s job or, in Kardashian World, a hired help.”
Landon also addressed his previous comments about wanting to be the only boy in the Barker family. Confirming that he was hoping for a baby sister, he shed light on his perspective during the candid interview. Fans speculated that Landon might have felt pressured during the interview, with one commenter asking, “Who asks a teenage boy expecting any other answer?”
Last month, Landon shared his initial reaction to the news of Courtney Kardashian and Travis Barker’s expanding family during an appearance on the Zach Sang Show. “It’s crazy, definitely crazy. I’ve never had a brother or a kid. It’s always been me and my sister two years apart,” he expressed. Despite the initial shock, Landon shared that he was happy for his father and Courtney, especially given that he feels like he’s in a place of adulthood.
Courtney Kardashian faced complications during her pregnancy, undergoing surgery last month to save her baby’s life. Travis Barker, who was on the European leg of his Blink 182 tour, promptly left to be by his wife’s side during this challenging time.
As the Kardashian-Barker blended family continues to capture headlines, fans are left wondering how these dynamics will evolve and whether Landon’s stance on his role in Rocky’s life will change over time. Stay tuned for more updates as the Barker family saga unfolds.
