Speaker 1: Apodjay Production.
Speaker 2: Welcome back to another episode of Am I a Bad Mum? Podcast?
Speaker 2: Just quickly to start. Literally before we hit record on
Speaker 2: this podcast, Rate got a message from message can you
Speaker 2: play it?
Speaker 1: I can play it. I'm not sure that this will anyway.
Speaker 1: That's fine. I'll turn it right up so we can
Speaker 1: hear it all. Hi, Mum, it's racy. I found my lunchbox.
Speaker 1: It was at the bag rep the whole time. God,
Speaker 1: I love you to have much podcast.
Speaker 2: Don't say anything embarrassing. I've just had a really good idea.
Speaker 2: I genuinely think this is a really good idea for
Speaker 2: you because obviously, as we know, your husband, Sam thy
Speaker 2: Day is currently on I'm a Celebrity, Get me out
Speaker 2: of here, so he's potentially going to be away for
Speaker 2: six weeks, and it's been a long time, and Gracie
Speaker 2: started high school. Why don't you get them each day
Speaker 2: to do a little diary in to your little journal
Speaker 2: of what happened in their day so that he can
Speaker 2: read it or when it gets back.
Speaker 1: That's a great idea.
Speaker 2: Because what's made me laugh also is that we're watching
Speaker 2: him on TV, you know, swimming in the creek, just
Speaker 2: like lots of downtime, Like there's a lot of just
Speaker 2: sitting around meantime. Rach in this period of the two
Speaker 2: weeks that he's been away, has caught a snake in
Speaker 2: their house, has been on the ride on mower.
Speaker 1: Honestly, Katie, I do watch elements of him sitting around,
Speaker 1: swimming in the creek, having relay races in the creek.
Speaker 1: I'm at home capturing fucking baby pythons inside the house.
Speaker 1: In the same afternoon, had our front and gate break.
Speaker 1: I can't get caught in or out, don't know how
Speaker 1: to fix it. Then your car breaks down. Then my
Speaker 1: car just decides not working. The coffee machine broke, and
Speaker 1: then the lovely man goes, oh, so the cockcroaches have
Speaker 1: eaten both boards, and the both boards go together, and
Speaker 1: then I'm going, now the coffee machine's broken. I see
Speaker 1: coffee machines broken. That's going to like literally cut my throat.
Speaker 2: Are you just having me on?
Speaker 1: And he's like nah, So we had that. Then I
Speaker 1: was just like sitting there like a shell of human.
Speaker 1: And the girl's like, mom, why are you not excited
Speaker 1: to watch Dad in the jungle?
Speaker 2: The camera should be here? Am I a bad mum
Speaker 2: for obsessing over boys.
Speaker 1: Wow, Katie, Wow, obsessing about boys for your girls or
Speaker 1: just like boys in general.
Speaker 2: Oh no, it's not me. Oh I think about boys married.
Speaker 2: But the girls have got their semi formal coming up. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so I have had non stop messages about dresses, about
Speaker 2: hair and makeup and now right, so send you a
Speaker 2: message saying who can we hire a dress off? And
Speaker 2: you sent me a bunch of suggestions. Hair and makeup's booked.
Speaker 2: And now they don't have dates, and so they're like, mum,
Speaker 2: we don't have a date, Like, who are we going
Speaker 2: to go to the semi formal with everyone's taking a boy?
Speaker 1: Is it their semi or is it someone else's? It's theirs?
Speaker 1: So in my head I was like, oh, they must
Speaker 1: be going to somebody else's semis as a date. No,
Speaker 1: automatically went there.
Speaker 2: No, it's their school's one, right, yeah, and so they
Speaker 2: need a date. But the problem is is that they
Speaker 2: don't have boyfriends, and they don't even really have many
Speaker 2: boys that they talk to because the way how it
Speaker 2: works these days, right, just to bring it up to speed,
Speaker 2: it is all on snapchat. So boys just add people
Speaker 2: on Snapchat from friends of friends or whatever. That's how
Speaker 2: it works. It's like a very modern day like online dating.
Speaker 1: Like a very quick exchange too. Like the snaps last
Speaker 1: long or is it like do you record yourself talking
Speaker 1: to the camera or like don't. It's not like FaceTime,
Speaker 1: is it. It's not like you and I join a
Speaker 1: chat to chat. It's like they snap myself, send it
Speaker 1: to you snap yourself, Like yeah, do you get to
Speaker 1: know someone like that? Yeah?
Speaker 2: From what I understand, it's messages.
Speaker 1: So like oh yeah, yeah, yeah, so.
Speaker 2: You send messages. They also do a lot of voice notes.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that wasn't something that we ever did voice
Speaker 2: notes like this is news. I'm very much like, just
Speaker 2: pick up the phone and call someone, like the voice
Speaker 2: notes that go back on forward, So just phone them.
Speaker 2: And then it's the random photos. So you just send
Speaker 2: photos because you have to keep you snapscore up.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Look, I have heard of the snapscore only through
Speaker 1: you the wall or the curtain. Just keep the score up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, or mom in a pajamas rach. I have moments
Speaker 2: where I'm like, do you just take a photo of me?
Speaker 2: And they're like yeah, like all caught off guard, like
Speaker 2: I'm not smiling or anything. I'm like, who are you
Speaker 2: sending that to? Oh?
Speaker 1: Why? And he lives like on the other side of
Speaker 1: Brisbane and there's you just just me and my pajamas
Speaker 1: why and pictures of me?
Speaker 2: And I must look surprised too, because all of a sudden,
Speaker 2: like I turn around and I'm like, you just take a
Speaker 2: photo of me. I'm like, you don't even let me
Speaker 2: tag you on Instagram when I put stuff up of
Speaker 2: like just photos Amelia Amelia has and I don't know
Speaker 2: how you do this some setting on Instagram where I
Speaker 2: can't even tack her.
Speaker 1: Yeah I'm not even allowed to. Yeah, yeah you can
Speaker 1: do that, but can other people?
Speaker 2: Can other people tag her?
Speaker 1: Yeah? I think she just I think it's like a
Speaker 1: generic like no one can tag you or everyone can
Speaker 1: tag you.
Speaker 2: It's not just like me.
Speaker 1: I think I could be wrong. I'll have to get
Speaker 1: onto my social media gal and ask her. But I
Speaker 1: thought it was like a generic like one or all
Speaker 1: or none, all or none.
Speaker 2: Anyway, all these kids around Brisbane got random pictures of
Speaker 2: me in your tracks yeah off guard, like that really surprised.
Speaker 1: The mere kat photo like that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, anyway, So the girls got plenty of snaps, but
Speaker 2: no dates, no, no dates, and so now I like,
Speaker 2: I feel like now I'm obsessing over it. I'm like,
Speaker 2: you should really talk to some more boys. Who ever
Speaker 2: thought that I would be encouraging that?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, but don't they have like again, didn't
Speaker 1: go to school in Brisbane, but from what I've heard,
Speaker 1: don't have like sister schools. Like does it make sense?
Speaker 2: Yeah, like the boys school and the girls.
Speaker 1: They're right next to each other, like the girls and
Speaker 1: the boys sort of think and then they sort of, isaay,
Speaker 1: cross pollinate from there. But I don't know, like did
Speaker 1: you always have one?
Speaker 2: Yes, they've had times where they've been talking to boys, Yeah,
Speaker 2: but they're not really at the moment. And because they're
Speaker 2: quite shy when it comes to that. Yeah, I just
Speaker 2: don't know. I'm like, I'm getting nervous about it. There's
Speaker 2: gonna be.
Speaker 1: Plenty of people out there that don't have dates.
Speaker 2: Surely, well you'd think so. But then I said to them, well,
Speaker 2: why don't you just go with a group of girlfriends. Oh,
Speaker 2: that's like social suicide.
Speaker 1: Well then they need to pick up their A game
Speaker 1: and like get better at this. Don't they go to parties? Now? Yeah,
Speaker 1: that doesn't work. You don't meet people at parties anymore, Well,
Speaker 1: you'd think. So I can't believe.
Speaker 2: I can't believe. My issue with kids at the moment
Speaker 2: is trying to find them a boyfriend. I never never
Speaker 2: ever would be.
Speaker 1: And they're beautiful, beautiful girls, not that that matters, but
Speaker 1: you somewhat, you know, like it somewhere along the line,
Speaker 1: you know that sort of you think, oh, you can't
Speaker 1: you just get a boyfriend or like. But again, like
Speaker 1: they're starting new circles, although you know that might not
Speaker 1: change anything, but are they allowed to bring people from
Speaker 1: outside of Like it doesn't have to be from it
Speaker 1: can be anyone.
Speaker 2: It could be anyone. Yeah, and so now they've got
Speaker 2: a friend who does have a boyfriend, and so she's
Speaker 2: now saying, well, come along, why don't I introduce you
Speaker 2: to some of his friends. Yes, and maybe.
Speaker 1: And the girls working now they meet different group of people,
Speaker 1: like obviously similar age because that's who they employ. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's all kids, the managers of kids. It's like
Speaker 2: kids managing other.
Speaker 1: Kids, kids that are running kids.
Speaker 2: Do you know what? I will never not that I
Speaker 2: ever was before that, but I will never be rude
Speaker 2: to a macas worker or KFC or whoever it might
Speaker 2: be hungry Jack. I will always be very careful how
Speaker 2: I speak to them now, even if they get my
Speaker 2: order wrong, which is fucking all the time. Well I
Speaker 2: say all the time, like I get meccas all the time,
Speaker 2: Like I've probably had it once in a year, but
Speaker 2: they always get your order wrong because it's always kids.
Speaker 2: Kids manage kids. But I will always be very careful
Speaker 2: how I speak to them now because it's someone's kid.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I get it.
Speaker 2: So like now I've got this protective kind of mother
Speaker 2: hen type feeling of when people are rude to the
Speaker 2: people at the drive through for example.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Also I think it's like sometimes like I sort
Speaker 1: of go, it's just a sign I'm not meant to
Speaker 1: be eating this shit. I'm just not meant to be
Speaker 1: eating this shitl Why am I back here? Why am
Speaker 1: I doing this to my body again? Four kids that
Speaker 1: work in those drive throughs. Look, they're under the pump enough,
Speaker 1: Look your girls just putting it into a perspective. They're
Speaker 1: under the pump. Not only they're they're trying to find
Speaker 1: a boy to go to semi with. They've got school,
Speaker 1: they got like everything going on. Don't know what's going
Speaker 1: on in their world.
Speaker 2: So you think Macca and one of the fellow Macca's workers,
Speaker 2: maybe guy on the Big Max, what about him. I'm
Speaker 2: literally going to go in Rachel. I have not been
Speaker 2: allowed to go in there with been working.
Speaker 1: Both of my else we were literally going, I don't know,
Speaker 1: somewhere down your way, and we were going that way,
Speaker 1: and for some reason, both of my kids went, oh,
Speaker 1: we should pull through a drive and see if they're working,
Speaker 1: and I was like, no.
Speaker 2: They would die if oh, I would just laugh so much.
Speaker 2: If you going through the drive through Hi girls, they
Speaker 2: would just die.
