Speaker 1: This is the Fitting In with with Kate Richie podcast.

2
00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:06,000
Speaker 2: I'd love to hear from people like when your mum

3
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:09,360
Speaker 2: and dad found out that they were pregnant again and

4
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 2: you were already an adult, So you and your siblings

5
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 2: find out that you're going to have another sibling, but

6
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 2: you're already or twenty.

7
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:20,760
Speaker 3: Five when you're that age, when you become an adult too.

8
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 3: I think in your family setup fits you think, oh,

9
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 3: mum and dad aren't doing it anymore. Yeah, there's absolutely

10
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,480
Speaker 3: no way they could conceive because they're not doing it.

11
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 2: How would you read How would you guys react?

12
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 1: Like?

13
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 2: Would you But I mean, obviously you're happy for the family,

14
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 2: but is it a bit weird?

15
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 1: Like it's a bit like well.

16
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 3: The other day, even at the age of ten, Ted said,

17
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:43,479
Speaker 3: why don't you guys have another baby? Like, oh, right,

18
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:45,279
Speaker 3: that's the last thing we need.

19
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:46,240
Speaker 1: Where have we got a dog?

20
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 2: Yeah? But so you can justify that, I mean, the

21
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,200
Speaker 2: kids are still the kids are still young. I'm talking

22
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 2: about how old were you when you found out that

23
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 2: your mum and dad were going to have another baby?

24
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 2: Give us a call thirteen twenty fourteen.

25
00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 3: Because in that meeting when they sat you down and

26
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 3: said we're having a My first question would be why

27
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 3: why are you having another baby?

28
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:09,040
Speaker 2: So this mother, this mother is forty four years of age, right,

29
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:12,680
Speaker 2: so she's obviously had three children very young in her life.

30
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:17,039
Speaker 2: They're fully grown kids. Have have a listened to the

31
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 2: reaction from her daughter when the mom reveals to them

32
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 2: that she is pregnant, and how much she goes off.

33
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:42,960
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I don't know why.

34
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 3: My reaction is yuck.

35
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 1: It's weird, isn't it.

36
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 3: It's really weird because you think that generation has stopped,

37
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 3: and it's the baton's been changed to the kids that

38
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 3: are now adults and they're next in line. But you

39
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 3: would see it, I mean, naturally, it happens if a

40
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 3: relations ship breaks down and then you find a new

41
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 3: part of the might be younger. Their dream is to

42
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 3: have kids, So you're honor that. I could imagine that happening.

43
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 2: Linda in Grandville, how old were you when you found

44
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:12,400

Speaker 4: And it was the biggest shock, but it was the

54
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,399
Speaker 4: best thing that ever happened to our family. And now

55
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,120

57
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,280

Speaker 4: That's when I moved out of home, and he was

67
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:10,840
