Speaker 2: Welcome back to another episode of Am I a Bad Mum? Podcast?

3
00:00:27,161 --> 00:00:31,201
Speaker 2: Just quickly to start. Literally before we hit record on

4
00:00:31,281 --> 00:00:35,761
Speaker 2: this podcast, Rate got a message from message can you

5
00:00:35,801 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 2: play it?

6
00:00:36,521 --> 00:00:39,721
Speaker 1: I can play it. I'm not sure that this will anyway.

7
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:41,840
Speaker 1: That's fine. I'll turn it right up so we can

8
00:00:41,881 --> 00:00:44,961
Speaker 1: hear it all. Hi, Mum, it's racy. I found my lunchbox.

9
00:00:45,001 --> 00:00:47,001
Speaker 1: It was at the bag rep the whole time. God,

10
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:48,641
Speaker 1: I love you to have much podcast.

11
00:00:48,681 --> 00:00:55,001
Speaker 2: Don't say anything embarrassing. I've just had a really good idea.

12
00:00:55,241 --> 00:00:57,321
Speaker 2: I genuinely think this is a really good idea for

13
00:00:57,401 --> 00:01:01,201
Speaker 2: you because obviously, as we know, your husband, Sam thy

14
00:01:01,281 --> 00:01:03,361
Speaker 2: Day is currently on I'm a Celebrity, Get me out

15
00:01:03,401 --> 00:01:07,081
Speaker 2: of here, so he's potentially going to be away for

16
00:01:07,361 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 2: six weeks, and it's been a long time, and Gracie

17
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:14,121
Speaker 2: started high school. Why don't you get them each day

18
00:01:14,481 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 2: to do a little diary in to your little journal

19
00:01:17,241 --> 00:01:20,481
Speaker 2: of what happened in their day so that he can

20
00:01:20,481 --> 00:01:21,601
Speaker 2: read it or when it gets back.

21
00:01:22,161 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: That's a great idea.

22
00:01:23,241 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 2: Because what's made me laugh also is that we're watching

23
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:31,241
Speaker 2: him on TV, you know, swimming in the creek, just

24
00:01:31,521 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 2: like lots of downtime, Like there's a lot of just

25
00:01:35,081 --> 00:01:40,321
Speaker 2: sitting around meantime. Rach in this period of the two

26
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 2: weeks that he's been away, has caught a snake in

27
00:01:43,761 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 2: their house, has been on the ride on mower.

28
00:01:48,001 --> 00:01:52,121
Speaker 1: Honestly, Katie, I do watch elements of him sitting around,

29
00:01:52,401 --> 00:01:55,681
Speaker 1: swimming in the creek, having relay races in the creek.

30
00:01:56,721 --> 00:02:00,561
Speaker 1: I'm at home capturing fucking baby pythons inside the house.

31
00:02:01,521 --> 00:02:05,561
Speaker 1: In the same afternoon, had our front and gate break.

32
00:02:06,041 --> 00:02:08,241
Speaker 1: I can't get caught in or out, don't know how

33
00:02:08,281 --> 00:02:10,321
Speaker 1: to fix it. Then your car breaks down. Then my

34
00:02:10,401 --> 00:02:14,081
Speaker 1: car just decides not working. The coffee machine broke, and

35
00:02:14,121 --> 00:02:17,761
Speaker 1: then the lovely man goes, oh, so the cockcroaches have

36
00:02:17,841 --> 00:02:20,281
Speaker 1: eaten both boards, and the both boards go together, and

37
00:02:20,321 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: then I'm going, now the coffee machine's broken. I see

38
00:02:23,001 --> 00:02:25,561
Speaker 1: coffee machines broken. That's going to like literally cut my throat.

39
00:02:25,601 --> 00:02:26,561
Speaker 2: Are you just having me on?

40
00:02:26,601 --> 00:02:28,881
Speaker 1: And he's like nah, So we had that. Then I

41
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 1: was just like sitting there like a shell of human.

42
00:02:32,041 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 1: And the girl's like, mom, why are you not excited

43
00:02:34,441 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 1: to watch Dad in the jungle?

44
00:02:37,721 --> 00:02:49,921
Speaker 2: The camera should be here? Am I a bad mum

45
00:02:50,041 --> 00:02:51,641
Speaker 2: for obsessing over boys.

46
00:02:52,001 --> 00:02:56,241
Speaker 1: Wow, Katie, Wow, obsessing about boys for your girls or

47
00:02:56,281 --> 00:02:57,361
Speaker 1: just like boys in general.

48
00:02:57,721 --> 00:03:02,481
Speaker 2: Oh no, it's not me. Oh I think about boys married.

49
00:03:02,641 --> 00:03:08,041
Speaker 2: But the girls have got their semi formal coming up. Yeah,

50
00:03:08,121 --> 00:03:13,401
Speaker 2: so I have had non stop messages about dresses, about

51
00:03:13,401 --> 00:03:16,921
Speaker 2: hair and makeup and now right, so send you a

52
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,641
Speaker 2: message saying who can we hire a dress off? And

53
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:23,881
Speaker 2: you sent me a bunch of suggestions. Hair and makeup's booked.

54
00:03:24,361 --> 00:03:28,401
Speaker 2: And now they don't have dates, and so they're like, mum,

55
00:03:28,441 --> 00:03:30,321
Speaker 2: we don't have a date, Like, who are we going

56
00:03:30,361 --> 00:03:33,921
Speaker 2: to go to the semi formal with everyone's taking a boy?

57
00:03:34,161 --> 00:03:36,841
Speaker 1: Is it their semi or is it someone else's? It's theirs?

58
00:03:37,561 --> 00:03:39,201
Speaker 1: So in my head I was like, oh, they must

59
00:03:39,241 --> 00:03:42,401
Speaker 1: be going to somebody else's semis as a date. No,

60
00:03:42,761 --> 00:03:43,801
Speaker 1: automatically went there.

61
00:03:43,921 --> 00:03:47,361
Speaker 2: No, it's their school's one, right, yeah, and so they

62
00:03:47,441 --> 00:03:50,521
Speaker 2: need a date. But the problem is is that they

63
00:03:50,601 --> 00:03:54,081
Speaker 2: don't have boyfriends, and they don't even really have many

64
00:03:54,201 --> 00:03:56,681
Speaker 2: boys that they talk to because the way how it

65
00:03:56,721 --> 00:03:59,161
Speaker 2: works these days, right, just to bring it up to speed,

66
00:03:59,841 --> 00:04:03,361
Speaker 2: it is all on snapchat. So boys just add people

67
00:04:03,441 --> 00:04:07,281
Speaker 2: on Snapchat from friends of friends or whatever. That's how

68
00:04:07,321 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 2: it works. It's like a very modern day like online dating.

69
00:04:12,361 --> 00:04:15,521
Speaker 1: Like a very quick exchange too. Like the snaps last

70
00:04:15,641 --> 00:04:18,161
Speaker 1: long or is it like do you record yourself talking

71
00:04:18,201 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: to the camera or like don't. It's not like FaceTime,

72
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:22,921
Speaker 1: is it. It's not like you and I join a

73
00:04:23,041 --> 00:04:27,041
Speaker 1: chat to chat. It's like they snap myself, send it

74
00:04:27,081 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: to you snap yourself, Like yeah, do you get to

75
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:30,681
Speaker 1: know someone like that? Yeah?

76
00:04:30,721 --> 00:04:33,721
Speaker 2: From what I understand, it's messages.

77
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,761
Speaker 1: So like oh yeah, yeah, yeah, so.

78
00:04:35,681 --> 00:04:38,521
Speaker 2: You send messages. They also do a lot of voice notes.

79
00:04:38,921 --> 00:04:42,361
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that wasn't something that we ever did voice

80
00:04:42,361 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 2: notes like this is news. I'm very much like, just

81
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,241
Speaker 2: pick up the phone and call someone, like the voice

82
00:04:49,241 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 2: notes that go back on forward, So just phone them.

83
00:04:54,961 --> 00:04:57,561
Speaker 2: And then it's the random photos. So you just send

84
00:04:57,601 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 2: photos because you have to keep you snapscore up.

85
00:04:59,521 --> 00:05:01,961
Speaker 1: Yeah. Look, I have heard of the snapscore only through

86
00:05:02,001 --> 00:05:05,121
Speaker 1: you the wall or the curtain. Just keep the score up.

87
00:05:05,161 --> 00:05:09,481
Speaker 2: Yeah, or mom in a pajamas rach. I have moments

88
00:05:09,481 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 2: where I'm like, do you just take a photo of me?

89
00:05:11,001 --> 00:05:13,721
Speaker 2: And they're like yeah, like all caught off guard, like

90
00:05:13,761 --> 00:05:16,241
Speaker 2: I'm not smiling or anything. I'm like, who are you

91
00:05:16,281 --> 00:05:17,841
Speaker 2: sending that to? Oh?

92
00:05:18,561 --> 00:05:21,441
Speaker 1: Why? And he lives like on the other side of

93
00:05:21,481 --> 00:05:25,081
Speaker 1: Brisbane and there's you just just me and my pajamas

94
00:05:25,161 --> 00:05:27,841
Speaker 1: why and pictures of me?

95
00:05:28,641 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 2: And I must look surprised too, because all of a sudden,

96
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:32,961
Speaker 2: like I turn around and I'm like, you just take a

97
00:05:33,001 --> 00:05:35,561
Speaker 2: photo of me. I'm like, you don't even let me

98
00:05:35,681 --> 00:05:38,161
Speaker 2: tag you on Instagram when I put stuff up of

99
00:05:38,241 --> 00:05:44,481
Speaker 2: like just photos Amelia Amelia has and I don't know

100
00:05:44,521 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 2: how you do this some setting on Instagram where I

101
00:05:47,601 --> 00:05:48,841
Speaker 2: can't even tack her.

102
00:05:49,041 --> 00:05:51,361
Speaker 1: Yeah I'm not even allowed to. Yeah, yeah you can

103
00:05:51,401 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: do that, but can other people?

104
00:05:52,801 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 2: Can other people tag her?

105
00:05:54,401 --> 00:05:56,281
Speaker 1: Yeah? I think she just I think it's like a

106
00:05:57,041 --> 00:06:00,161
Speaker 1: generic like no one can tag you or everyone can

107
00:06:00,201 --> 00:06:00,681
Speaker 1: tag you.

108
00:06:01,001 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 2: It's not just like me.

109
00:06:03,201 --> 00:06:05,801
Speaker 1: I think I could be wrong. I'll have to get

110
00:06:05,841 --> 00:06:08,601
Speaker 1: onto my social media gal and ask her. But I

111
00:06:08,601 --> 00:06:11,161
Speaker 1: thought it was like a generic like one or all

112
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:12,481
Speaker 1: or none, all or none.

113
00:06:14,001 --> 00:06:17,001
Speaker 2: Anyway, all these kids around Brisbane got random pictures of

114
00:06:17,121 --> 00:06:22,801
Speaker 2: me in your tracks yeah off guard, like that really surprised.

115
00:06:23,601 --> 00:06:24,921
Speaker 1: The mere kat photo like that.

116
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:30,641
Speaker 2: Yeah, anyway, So the girls got plenty of snaps, but

117
00:06:30,681 --> 00:06:33,921
Speaker 2: no dates, no, no dates, and so now I like,

118
00:06:34,041 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 2: I feel like now I'm obsessing over it. I'm like,

119
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,161
Speaker 2: you should really talk to some more boys. Who ever

120
00:06:39,161 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 2: thought that I would be encouraging that?

121
00:06:40,841 --> 00:06:43,521
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, but don't they have like again, didn't

122
00:06:43,561 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: go to school in Brisbane, but from what I've heard,

123
00:06:45,961 --> 00:06:48,681
Speaker 1: don't have like sister schools. Like does it make sense?

124
00:06:48,761 --> 00:06:50,761
Speaker 2: Yeah, like the boys school and the girls.

125
00:06:50,521 --> 00:06:52,921
Speaker 1: They're right next to each other, like the girls and

126
00:06:52,961 --> 00:06:56,241
Speaker 1: the boys sort of think and then they sort of, isaay,

127
00:06:56,361 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: cross pollinate from there. But I don't know, like did

128
00:06:59,521 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 1: you always have one?

129
00:07:00,361 --> 00:07:04,841
Speaker 2: Yes, they've had times where they've been talking to boys, Yeah,

130
00:07:05,081 --> 00:07:07,681
Speaker 2: but they're not really at the moment. And because they're

131
00:07:07,801 --> 00:07:11,521
Speaker 2: quite shy when it comes to that. Yeah, I just

132
00:07:11,561 --> 00:07:15,321
Speaker 2: don't know. I'm like, I'm getting nervous about it. There's

133
00:07:15,321 --> 00:07:15,721
Speaker 2: gonna be.

134
00:07:15,641 --> 00:07:17,881
Speaker 1: Plenty of people out there that don't have dates.

135
00:07:18,481 --> 00:07:21,441
Speaker 2: Surely, well you'd think so. But then I said to them, well,

136
00:07:21,481 --> 00:07:23,761
Speaker 2: why don't you just go with a group of girlfriends. Oh,

137
00:07:24,081 --> 00:07:25,601
Speaker 2: that's like social suicide.

138
00:07:25,841 --> 00:07:27,521
Speaker 1: Well then they need to pick up their A game

139
00:07:27,601 --> 00:07:31,521
Speaker 1: and like get better at this. Don't they go to parties? Now? Yeah,

140
00:07:31,601 --> 00:07:34,201
Speaker 1: that doesn't work. You don't meet people at parties anymore, Well,

141
00:07:34,281 --> 00:07:36,961
Speaker 1: you'd think. So I can't believe.

142
00:07:37,281 --> 00:07:40,761
Speaker 2: I can't believe. My issue with kids at the moment

143
00:07:40,841 --> 00:07:43,641
Speaker 2: is trying to find them a boyfriend. I never never

144
00:07:43,801 --> 00:07:45,721
Speaker 2: ever would be.

145
00:07:45,921 --> 00:07:50,441
Speaker 1: And they're beautiful, beautiful girls, not that that matters, but

146
00:07:50,521 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 1: you somewhat, you know, like it somewhere along the line,

147
00:07:53,841 --> 00:07:56,161
Speaker 1: you know that sort of you think, oh, you can't

148
00:07:56,201 --> 00:07:59,161
Speaker 1: you just get a boyfriend or like. But again, like

149
00:07:59,561 --> 00:08:02,601
Speaker 1: they're starting new circles, although you know that might not

150
00:08:02,681 --> 00:08:05,241
Speaker 1: change anything, but are they allowed to bring people from

151
00:08:05,241 --> 00:08:07,681
Speaker 1: outside of Like it doesn't have to be from it

152
00:08:07,721 --> 00:08:08,521
Speaker 1: can be anyone.

153
00:08:08,641 --> 00:08:11,521
Speaker 2: It could be anyone. Yeah, and so now they've got

154
00:08:11,561 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 2: a friend who does have a boyfriend, and so she's

155
00:08:15,361 --> 00:08:18,681
Speaker 2: now saying, well, come along, why don't I introduce you

156
00:08:18,721 --> 00:08:22,281
