Father's Day should be a time to rethink parenting so kids aren't running the show at home ... so grouses Bill Maher!

The "Real Time" host bore in on the whole "Gentle Parenting" movement, where parents treat kids like right-thinking adults. Turns out cow-towing to children does great harm to the kids parents think they're nurturing. Bill notes the run-of-the-mill high school student has the same level of anxiety as a psychiatric patient in the early 1950s. Nuff said.

Mr. Maher argues the OG traditional dad, or trad dad, is the answer. Go back to treating kids like they are -- little people without judgment who need discipline and preparation for real life.

Celine Dion says her kids are afraid she'll die as she battles Stiff-Person Syndrome ... and they have a very good reason.

While Miley credited Billy Ray for her perspective on life, she also blamed him for her "narcissism" -- citing her selfishness in childhood as an example.

Rebel Wilson hasn't met her fiancée Ramona Agruma's parents yet -- and she's chalking it up to cultural differences with the LGBTQ+ community.

The Aussie actress opened up to Today.com about Ramona's European upbringing ... mentioning she was born in Latvia, which she explained wasn't as Pride-friendly as some other countries.

After that ... the docs say Billy will pay Firerose $5,000/month for her to obtain suitable housing in Tennessee for a period of 90 days, or until the divorce is finalized -- whichever occurs first. He's gotta pay her the $5k on the first of each month.
