WEBVTT - It's NOT a rain jacket!!!

0:00:05.921 --> 0:00:07.281
<v Speaker 1>Apod Shape production.

0:00:22.961 --> 0:00:25.041
<v Speaker 2>We'll come back to another episode of Am I A

0:00:25.041 --> 0:00:25.601
<v Speaker 2>Bad Mom?

0:00:25.641 --> 0:00:26.081
<v Speaker 1>Podcast?

0:00:26.121 --> 0:00:28.841
<v Speaker 2>It's the question we constantly asked three times a week,

0:00:28.881 --> 0:00:32.480
<v Speaker 2>am I a bad mum? Sometimes we are no all

0:00:32.521 --> 0:00:33.921
<v Speaker 2>the time, all the time.

0:00:34.561 --> 0:00:37.440
<v Speaker 3>We've been through some stuff this last week, and I

0:00:37.480 --> 0:00:41.841
<v Speaker 3>can tell you my parenting really got stretched. And I

0:00:41.840 --> 0:00:44.680
<v Speaker 3>think I say this once a week, maybe on a podcast,

0:00:44.681 --> 0:00:48.241
<v Speaker 3>saying my parentings really stretch. You know when they say,

0:00:48.281 --> 0:00:51.601
<v Speaker 3>like really hard situations they help you grow.

0:00:52.921 --> 0:00:53.721
<v Speaker 4>I don't think so.

0:00:53.881 --> 0:00:56.880
<v Speaker 3>I think it took my really tight situation and then

0:00:56.961 --> 0:00:58.321
<v Speaker 3>just constricted it even more.

0:00:58.361 --> 0:01:01.201
<v Speaker 4>I was like, supper, well, you love That's how I felt.

0:01:01.281 --> 0:01:04.881
<v Speaker 2>You lost power at your house because of the side.

0:01:05.321 --> 0:01:07.840
<v Speaker 3>So Brisbane was looking like it was going to get

0:01:07.840 --> 0:01:11.280
<v Speaker 3>its first cyclone in like fifty years or something, and

0:01:11.640 --> 0:01:15.121
<v Speaker 3>so then we all got told to go home and

0:01:15.640 --> 0:01:18.441
<v Speaker 3>don't go anywhere. And we know how I cope with

0:01:18.521 --> 0:01:22.481
<v Speaker 3>those situations clearly not well, I love it, you love it.

0:01:22.601 --> 0:01:25.481
<v Speaker 3>I checked in so many times with you. Thriving would

0:01:25.521 --> 0:01:26.041
<v Speaker 3>be the word.

0:01:26.241 --> 0:01:26.961
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:01:27.121 --> 0:01:31.241
<v Speaker 2>Although I didn't see trackies, I was disappointed that nothing

0:01:31.360 --> 0:01:35.881
<v Speaker 2>more happened, Like I was making stupid videos about the

0:01:35.881 --> 0:01:38.280
<v Speaker 2>fact that there was no cyclone, like where is it?

0:01:38.441 --> 0:01:41.640
<v Speaker 2>I had battery lights all prepared, all on the side,

0:01:41.801 --> 0:01:44.721
<v Speaker 2>everything from outside was inside.

0:01:44.920 --> 0:01:45.721
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I did all that.

0:01:45.881 --> 0:01:50.281
<v Speaker 2>Everything was tied down, everything was charged, laptops, phones, everything,

0:01:50.561 --> 0:01:53.921
<v Speaker 2>ice in the eski, plenty of water, like I.

0:01:53.921 --> 0:01:55.841
<v Speaker 1>Did it, you did it all. I wanted at least

0:01:56.281 --> 0:01:57.001
<v Speaker 1>bottle hours.

0:01:59.001 --> 0:02:02.841
<v Speaker 2>I wanted at least a couple of hours in one room, scared.

0:02:05.041 --> 0:02:06.241
<v Speaker 4>I'm going through a tornado.

0:02:07.841 --> 0:02:09.161
<v Speaker 1>And that didn't really happen.

0:02:09.241 --> 0:02:13.001
<v Speaker 2>And then the next day I start getting water all

0:02:13.041 --> 0:02:15.240
<v Speaker 2>coming through the ceiling. I was like, this is Calma,

0:02:15.441 --> 0:02:18.321
<v Speaker 2>this is karma for me making ship of videos and

0:02:18.321 --> 0:02:20.161
<v Speaker 2>taking the piss out of cycle and Alfred.

0:02:20.481 --> 0:02:21.881
<v Speaker 3>I think there was a lot of people doing that,

0:02:22.081 --> 0:02:26.601
<v Speaker 3>and there was like I think it was like Thursdays,

0:02:26.761 --> 0:02:29.240
<v Speaker 3>go home and lock down, and so we did it all,

0:02:29.321 --> 0:02:32.041
<v Speaker 3>and we, you know, like everyone panic brought out the

0:02:32.081 --> 0:02:38.161
<v Speaker 3>whole entire Ida. I'm not sure why, but Thursday, then Friday,

0:02:39.201 --> 0:02:42.041
<v Speaker 3>and then Saturday morning, I think Friday night and Saturday

0:02:42.081 --> 0:02:45.560
<v Speaker 3>morning it said it's crossland, It's reached us.

0:02:45.721 --> 0:02:47.761
<v Speaker 4>So everyone went, what a fizzer.

0:02:48.841 --> 0:02:51.601
<v Speaker 3>And by this stage, like I've been inside with my kids,

0:02:51.680 --> 0:02:56.840
<v Speaker 3>like Thursday and Friday and now Saturday, like I've gone

0:02:57.041 --> 0:03:00.481
<v Speaker 3>nuts by now. So on Saturday I went into my gym.

0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:02.560
<v Speaker 3>I was like, well, I can't do anything else. I'm

0:03:02.601 --> 0:03:05.201
<v Speaker 3>just going to move all the furniture back outside to

0:03:05.281 --> 0:03:06.601
<v Speaker 3>move the basketball ring up.

0:03:06.601 --> 0:03:07.800
<v Speaker 4>I'm going to do all of that.

0:03:08.481 --> 0:03:11.800
<v Speaker 3>And then Saturday night, eight pm it was like a

0:03:11.841 --> 0:03:15.041
<v Speaker 3>World War three zone. I know that every area of

0:03:15.161 --> 0:03:19.120
<v Speaker 3>Brisbane got hit so differently, but where we were we

0:03:19.161 --> 0:03:24.680
<v Speaker 3>got belted with the Saturday night storm slash leftover of cyclone.

0:03:25.001 --> 0:03:28.361
<v Speaker 3>We had trees down, we lost power, we lost phone service,

0:03:29.281 --> 0:03:32.121
<v Speaker 3>no hot water because as the result of that. So

0:03:32.161 --> 0:03:34.761
<v Speaker 3>then luckily We've got gas on the barbecue, so I'm

0:03:34.881 --> 0:03:38.321
<v Speaker 3>cooking every meal on the barbecue. But it was like

0:03:38.401 --> 0:03:40.841
<v Speaker 3>my kids had worms all of a sudden because Mum's

0:03:41.001 --> 0:03:43.001
<v Speaker 3>really out of a comfort zone. We can see she's

0:03:43.161 --> 0:03:45.361
<v Speaker 3>so far out. I'm going to make a cook all

0:03:45.441 --> 0:03:47.361
<v Speaker 3>day on the barbecue.

0:03:47.041 --> 0:03:50.041
<v Speaker 4>Honestly, Katie. And then I come in and I have like, Elsie,

0:03:50.201 --> 0:03:52.321
<v Speaker 4>can I just talk to your mom? I'm thinking, what

0:03:52.441 --> 0:03:53.641
<v Speaker 4>do you want to talk to me about?

0:03:53.881 --> 0:03:56.641
<v Speaker 3>And she was like, oh so I and then it

0:03:56.721 --> 0:03:59.761
<v Speaker 3>voice starts to crack. I accidentally did something and I

0:03:59.801 --> 0:04:04.721
<v Speaker 3>was like accidentally did what I accidentally. Didn't mean to

0:04:05.801 --> 0:04:08.641
<v Speaker 3>didn't mean too, mum, It was just accident put my

0:04:08.641 --> 0:04:10.961
<v Speaker 3>foot through the wall, through the wall.

0:04:11.161 --> 0:04:14.081
<v Speaker 4>I did a flip on the mattress and put my

0:04:14.121 --> 0:04:18.801
<v Speaker 4>foot through the launde room wall. I'm really sorry, like through.

0:04:18.601 --> 0:04:22.161
<v Speaker 1>The plaster board. It's this big in my laundroom.

0:04:22.841 --> 0:04:25.401
<v Speaker 3>Her foot, because she's not got a small foot, has

0:04:25.561 --> 0:04:26.081
<v Speaker 3>just gone.

0:04:26.841 --> 0:04:28.280
<v Speaker 4>There's a hole in my wall.

0:04:28.921 --> 0:04:30.400
<v Speaker 1>And that is a big job, isn't it.

0:04:30.401 --> 0:04:33.201
<v Speaker 2>Because I don't have to repair the hole, And then

0:04:33.361 --> 0:04:34.961
<v Speaker 2>don't you have to like repaint the.

0:04:34.921 --> 0:04:37.321
<v Speaker 4>Whole wall you have to Probably, yeah, I imagine. I

0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:37.561
<v Speaker 4>don't know.

0:04:37.641 --> 0:04:40.320
<v Speaker 3>I've never done it, but I just loved the whole

0:04:40.401 --> 0:04:41.520
<v Speaker 3>idea that she said.

0:04:41.880 --> 0:04:43.001
<v Speaker 4>I accidentally did it.

0:04:43.001 --> 0:04:45.601
<v Speaker 3>It really wasn't on purpose, and I just needed to

0:04:45.641 --> 0:04:47.201
<v Speaker 3>do the flip, but I just didn't think I was

0:04:47.241 --> 0:04:49.801
<v Speaker 3>going to hit the wall. So then therefore, as a parent,

0:04:49.841 --> 0:04:51.600
<v Speaker 3>I'm just meant to go, that's okay, darling.

0:04:51.801 --> 0:04:54.721
<v Speaker 2>My go to immediately is what the hell were you

0:04:54.801 --> 0:04:59.201
<v Speaker 2>doing a flip there? For be careful because kids don't

0:04:59.201 --> 0:05:01.521
<v Speaker 2>give a shit about our things or what we've paid

0:05:01.561 --> 0:05:02.801
<v Speaker 2>for or the house.

0:05:02.880 --> 0:05:04.200
<v Speaker 1>They can't care less.

0:05:04.521 --> 0:05:06.401
<v Speaker 3>Just on a note to that, though, I did get

0:05:06.401 --> 0:05:10.721
<v Speaker 3>a funny reply from one of our amazing podcast family

0:05:10.921 --> 0:05:12.441
<v Speaker 3>Online saying.

0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:13.961
<v Speaker 4>Well, I could top this one.

0:05:14.440 --> 0:05:18.760
<v Speaker 3>My son and his girlfriend in their bedroom antics put

0:05:18.961 --> 0:05:23.520
<v Speaker 3>someone's head through a wall whilst having sex. That one's

0:05:23.561 --> 0:05:27.761
<v Speaker 3>really awkward to come across as a parent. Oh okay,

0:05:27.880 --> 0:05:29.161
<v Speaker 3>all right, I'll wear that.

0:05:29.241 --> 0:05:30.681
<v Speaker 1>She wins, She wins.

0:05:39.921 --> 0:05:44.041
<v Speaker 4>Am I a bad mum for ticking all the boxes?

0:05:45.081 --> 0:05:48.001
<v Speaker 3>This will really like set the scene for you. When

0:05:48.041 --> 0:05:50.521
<v Speaker 3>your kid goes off to camp. You get a checklist

0:05:50.841 --> 0:05:54.640
<v Speaker 3>and it has the little tick. Yeah, so then we think,

0:05:54.721 --> 0:05:58.161
<v Speaker 3>as parents, were like nailing this, done it all.

0:05:58.721 --> 0:05:58.961
<v Speaker 4>Yep.

0:05:59.081 --> 0:06:00.921
<v Speaker 1>If they go to camp and it never fits in

0:06:00.961 --> 0:06:01.321
<v Speaker 1>the bag.

0:06:01.521 --> 0:06:03.881
<v Speaker 3>Don't even get me started on why you take them

0:06:03.880 --> 0:06:05.521
<v Speaker 3>on a camp when they have to take pretty much

0:06:05.561 --> 0:06:07.760
<v Speaker 3>the whole bedroom with them on the camp, So that

0:06:07.801 --> 0:06:08.641
<v Speaker 3>doesn't make any sense.

0:06:08.681 --> 0:06:09.401
<v Speaker 4>Just leave them at home.

0:06:10.001 --> 0:06:12.080
<v Speaker 3>So I ticked all the boxes, did all that. Now

0:06:12.081 --> 0:06:15.121
<v Speaker 3>this was her last camp, so this would have been

0:06:15.201 --> 0:06:17.401
<v Speaker 3>the last year. And I did all the ticking, all

0:06:17.401 --> 0:06:19.601
<v Speaker 3>the boxes went off Kmart got all the things that

0:06:19.681 --> 0:06:22.121
<v Speaker 3>I thought that I didn't have, you know, like things

0:06:22.121 --> 0:06:23.520
<v Speaker 3>like rain jackets.

0:06:23.921 --> 0:06:26.041
<v Speaker 4>Like I feel really good. Ticked all the boxes.

0:06:26.081 --> 0:06:30.001
<v Speaker 3>My child's going well prepared, if not too prepared, for

0:06:30.081 --> 0:06:33.441
<v Speaker 3>every situation. She comes home from that camp, still gets sick,

0:06:34.401 --> 0:06:35.241
<v Speaker 3>still gets a cold.

0:06:35.361 --> 0:06:37.561
<v Speaker 4>Standard. Now we fast forward.

0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:40.961
<v Speaker 3>To a cyclone and I'm going fucking stir crazy.

0:06:41.081 --> 0:06:42.281
<v Speaker 4>So I'm like, what am I gonna do?

0:06:42.721 --> 0:06:44.601
<v Speaker 3>I'm just gonna put a rain jacket on because I

0:06:44.721 --> 0:06:48.520
<v Speaker 3>found her rain jacket that I ticked all the boxes with, sent.

0:06:48.320 --> 0:06:50.801
<v Speaker 4>Her off to camp with, thinking I'm a good mum.

0:06:51.161 --> 0:06:53.361
<v Speaker 3>And then I put this thing on because I find it,

0:06:53.401 --> 0:06:55.080
<v Speaker 3>and I wanted to walk down to the creek to

0:06:55.161 --> 0:06:57.721
<v Speaker 3>check how far up the creek was. I was wandering

0:06:57.761 --> 0:07:00.601
<v Speaker 3>down there and I'm thinking, oh, look at me, got.

0:07:00.440 --> 0:07:02.241
<v Speaker 4>A rain jacket. I'm so prepared.

0:07:03.161 --> 0:07:05.441
<v Speaker 3>I come back now, this is not a big I'm

0:07:05.440 --> 0:07:08.841
<v Speaker 3>literally down the hill, looked around. Oh yeah, this is

0:07:08.841 --> 0:07:11.961
<v Speaker 3>pretty hectic. It's getting pretty spicy down here. Come back up.

0:07:12.121 --> 0:07:13.881
<v Speaker 3>I would say a maximum of ten minutes in the

0:07:13.961 --> 0:07:18.481
<v Speaker 3>rain in a rain jacket. Yeah, dry, Dry as a bone, Katie. No,

0:07:19.201 --> 0:07:22.281
<v Speaker 3>I was fucking drenched. I was drenched. I sent you

0:07:22.321 --> 0:07:23.761
<v Speaker 3>a video. I think I put a video up on

0:07:23.841 --> 0:07:26.881
<v Speaker 3>my Socialist. I was soaked, my hair was soaked.

0:07:27.641 --> 0:07:30.121
<v Speaker 2>I'm drenched, and I'm going.

0:07:29.921 --> 0:07:32.481
<v Speaker 3>Oh my god, I sent my child off to camp

0:07:32.641 --> 0:07:36.281
<v Speaker 3>with a rain jacket that doesn't fucking work. What a

0:07:36.441 --> 0:07:38.961
<v Speaker 3>loser of a mom? Like this is so bad. I

0:07:39.121 --> 0:07:41.481
<v Speaker 3>just in my head, I was beating myself up going here.

0:07:41.521 --> 0:07:44.721
<v Speaker 3>I am thinking, yep, look at me go nailing life.

0:07:45.401 --> 0:07:47.961
<v Speaker 3>Child comes home with cold, that's normal. No, it's because

0:07:47.961 --> 0:07:49.721
<v Speaker 3>she's been out in the rain in a rain jacket

0:07:49.841 --> 0:07:50.481
<v Speaker 3>that doesn't work.

0:07:50.521 --> 0:07:52.321
<v Speaker 4>They're selling false items.

0:07:51.921 --> 0:07:53.961
<v Speaker 1>But is it sold as a rain jacket?

0:07:54.001 --> 0:07:56.801
<v Speaker 4>Okay, so this was the day before. Okay, I did

0:07:57.201 --> 0:07:58.401
<v Speaker 4>go out in the rain.

0:07:58.601 --> 0:08:00.561
<v Speaker 3>I got one of Sam's out of the cupboard and

0:08:00.641 --> 0:08:03.441
<v Speaker 3>was like, oh, it just feels like feels like.

0:08:03.401 --> 0:08:05.401
<v Speaker 4>A rain jacket. And I went out and did a

0:08:05.441 --> 0:08:07.281
<v Speaker 4>few things and I had to come home. I was

0:08:07.401 --> 0:08:08.081
<v Speaker 4>drenched again.

0:08:08.161 --> 0:08:11.481
<v Speaker 3>I was like, these fucking jackets. He goes, that's a

0:08:11.481 --> 0:08:12.641
<v Speaker 3>spray jacket, you idiot.

0:08:13.281 --> 0:08:14.401
<v Speaker 1>What's a spray jacket?

0:08:14.481 --> 0:08:17.041
<v Speaker 3>Like, what does that mean? He goes, it's not waterproof,

0:08:17.201 --> 0:08:19.521
<v Speaker 3>it's not a rain jacket. It's a spray jacket.

0:08:19.761 --> 0:08:20.441
<v Speaker 1>What's it for?

0:08:20.561 --> 0:08:20.801
<v Speaker 4>Though?

0:08:21.001 --> 0:08:23.361
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what's the purpose of a spray jacket,

0:08:23.441 --> 0:08:27.921
<v Speaker 2>because I also I don't know I had a rain jacket.

0:08:28.361 --> 0:08:31.361
<v Speaker 2>After all the chaos had settled down a little bit.

0:08:31.401 --> 0:08:33.561
<v Speaker 2>But we've been in the house for a few days

0:08:33.641 --> 0:08:35.681
<v Speaker 2>and I said to the girls, were going for a walk.

0:08:35.801 --> 0:08:38.281
<v Speaker 1>They went, no, we're not. I said, you're coming.

0:08:38.321 --> 0:08:39.001
<v Speaker 4>For a walk.

0:08:39.161 --> 0:08:41.641
<v Speaker 2>Like the effort it took for me to get them

0:08:41.721 --> 0:08:42.521
<v Speaker 2>out of the house.

0:08:42.561 --> 0:08:43.441
<v Speaker 1>Emelia was still no.

0:08:43.481 --> 0:08:46.161
<v Speaker 2>I'm not coming. I won't put your rain jacket on.

0:08:46.361 --> 0:08:50.161
<v Speaker 2>You are coming. Start threatening. If you don't come for

0:08:50.201 --> 0:08:54.801
<v Speaker 2>a walk, you're not watching anything tonight. Band honestly rage.

0:08:54.841 --> 0:08:57.001
<v Speaker 2>You should have seen their faces as they're walking. I

0:08:57.041 --> 0:08:59.921
<v Speaker 2>was like, oh, you're just loving it on element that like,

0:09:00.081 --> 0:09:03.081
<v Speaker 2>look like faces have done. They're absolutely hating it.

0:09:03.521 --> 0:09:06.481
<v Speaker 1>Why are we walking in the rain? It's beautiful nature.

0:09:06.801 --> 0:09:07.361
<v Speaker 1>It makes you.

0:09:07.361 --> 0:09:12.601
<v Speaker 2>Feel good stepping over fallen trees. I too, was in

0:09:12.641 --> 0:09:14.641
<v Speaker 2>a rain jacket. I thought it was a rain jacket

0:09:14.641 --> 0:09:15.521
<v Speaker 2>has a hood.

0:09:16.161 --> 0:09:18.801
<v Speaker 4>But also it feels a bit rain jackety.

0:09:18.961 --> 0:09:22.121
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, thin doesn't fucking work.

0:09:22.441 --> 0:09:26.481
<v Speaker 2>I was absolutely soaked in it, and then it really

0:09:27.001 --> 0:09:32.001
<v Speaker 2>baffled me because I was like, what is the purpose

0:09:32.121 --> 0:09:33.001
<v Speaker 2>of this jacket?

0:09:33.041 --> 0:09:34.081
<v Speaker 1>Why does it have a.

0:09:34.001 --> 0:09:38.201
<v Speaker 2>Hood if it doesn't keep you dry? It's so thin,

0:09:38.361 --> 0:09:40.321
<v Speaker 2>it's not a jacket you'd wear in winter. It doesn't

0:09:40.401 --> 0:09:42.881
<v Speaker 2>keep you warm. No, what's the purpose of it.

0:09:43.281 --> 0:09:46.441
<v Speaker 4>I think maybe like a light spray of something.

0:09:46.681 --> 0:09:49.921
<v Speaker 3>Maybe maybe if someone could like a hair spray like

0:09:49.961 --> 0:09:51.001
<v Speaker 3>it and just spray, do you on it?

0:09:51.121 --> 0:09:54.521
<v Speaker 2>You'd still be That's what the jacket protects you. If

0:09:54.521 --> 0:09:58.441
<v Speaker 2>someone's hair spray, that's what the.
