1
00:00:05,921 --> 00:00:07,281
Speaker 1: Apologie production.

2
00:00:23,041 --> 00:00:26,401
Speaker 2: Welcome back to another episode about I a bad mum.

3
00:00:26,481 --> 00:00:28,921
Speaker 1: Poka. You feel quite relaxed today as a parent.

4
00:00:29,121 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 2: I don't know why I haven't seen my kids today.

5
00:00:33,561 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's probably why.

6
00:00:36,241 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 3: I love how you tape it off quietly, like no

7
00:00:38,961 --> 00:00:42,681
Speaker 3: one was going to actually hear you say, I haven't

8
00:00:42,681 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 3: seen the kids yet today. I saw the kids this

9
00:00:45,161 --> 00:00:49,721
Speaker 3: morning and it was grand. I made lunch boxes. They

10
00:00:49,961 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 3: complained about the lunch box because it was too healthy,

11
00:00:53,721 --> 00:00:56,681
Speaker 3: and then I made them breakfast.

12
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:57,721
Speaker 1: I made them eggs.

13
00:00:57,721 --> 00:01:00,121
Speaker 3: They still complained about the eggs not being the softness

14
00:01:00,161 --> 00:01:03,481
Speaker 3: that they wanted, because apparently they live in the taj

15
00:01:03,641 --> 00:01:08,041
Speaker 3: Mahal and they got servants everywhere and so on that note,

16
00:01:08,121 --> 00:01:10,081
Speaker 3: I said, you can get yourselves ready for the rest

17
00:01:10,121 --> 00:01:11,361
Speaker 3: of it, and I aren't going to the gym.

18
00:01:11,401 --> 00:01:14,001
Speaker 1: See later, you know.

19
00:01:14,121 --> 00:01:15,961
Speaker 2: And then you'll get to a stage where they do

20
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:20,161
Speaker 2: their own lunch boxes. But they're so fucking lazy rag

21
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 2: that they half fill it with a few packets that.

22
00:01:23,401 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: They can find.

23
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,241
Speaker 2: Yeah, Holly said to me the other day, Oh, Mum,

24
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,401
Speaker 2: my friend had this really nice rap and she had

25
00:01:30,481 --> 00:01:32,961
Speaker 2: like salad, and she had all these little things and

26
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 2: I was like, interesting, We've got raps, you just can't

27
00:01:36,601 --> 00:01:40,081
Speaker 2: be asked to make them. That's the difference. You could

28
00:01:40,081 --> 00:01:42,321
Speaker 2: have a nice, lovely made rap you just have to make.

29
00:01:42,401 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 1: We've got plenty of salad in there. You'll be fine.

30
00:01:55,881 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 3: Am I a bad mum for even surprising myself? Short

31
00:02:02,041 --> 00:02:06,121
Speaker 3: and sweet of this particular topic is we know how

32
00:02:06,201 --> 00:02:09,281
Speaker 3: much of an amazing dance mum I am, and how

33
00:02:09,361 --> 00:02:10,361
Speaker 3: far I've come.

34
00:02:10,601 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 1: You've come very far.

35
00:02:12,041 --> 00:02:16,601
Speaker 2: Let's just recap because back in the day when Gracie

36
00:02:16,601 --> 00:02:20,321
Speaker 2: started doing dance, Grace and else both started, remember that

37
00:02:20,401 --> 00:02:23,841
Speaker 2: were and you were new to the dance mum old,

38
00:02:24,361 --> 00:02:27,601
Speaker 2: but I was like, you were in it, yea. And

39
00:02:28,161 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 2: they are supposed to have a different bag per costume,

40
00:02:34,201 --> 00:02:37,121
Speaker 2: so like a different garment bag per costume when they

41
00:02:37,161 --> 00:02:42,281
Speaker 2: do the concert, and I remember you rocked up with your.

42
00:02:42,361 --> 00:02:44,681
Speaker 3: Still in, still in the bags that we got given

43
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,241
Speaker 3: the plastic bag, still in the little cheap plastic bags

44
00:02:48,401 --> 00:02:52,681
Speaker 3: that we get, given the uniforms in, hadn't taken them out,

45
00:02:52,841 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 3: hadn't done anything, hadn't eroned them, hadn't straightened them out,

46
00:02:56,761 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 3: and then like literally gave him like a Wooli's bag

47
00:02:59,201 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 3: each and was like, and there you go. And then

48
00:03:02,281 --> 00:03:04,801
Speaker 3: when I got in there, because I remember for the

49
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,961
Speaker 3: first concert, they made you feel like you had to volunteer.

50
00:03:08,081 --> 00:03:10,921
Speaker 3: So I have volunteered since the first one, but obviously

51
00:03:11,401 --> 00:03:15,601
Speaker 3: have stepped up the mark a bit since. But I

52
00:03:15,721 --> 00:03:21,361
Speaker 3: genuinely remember walking in there going, oh, my gosh, there

53
00:03:21,441 --> 00:03:25,281
Speaker 3: was Duffel bags and like these girls, like my girls

54
00:03:25,281 --> 00:03:28,721
Speaker 3: were little, they were little. I think if I can recall,

55
00:03:28,761 --> 00:03:31,001
Speaker 3: this will be a moment for me. But I think

56
00:03:31,761 --> 00:03:36,241
Speaker 3: Elsie's first dance concert might have been a Ladybug or

57
00:03:36,281 --> 00:03:38,961
Speaker 3: a Minion. Maybe the Minion was a year after, but

58
00:03:39,001 --> 00:03:42,481
Speaker 3: a Ladybug, and I remember thinking, oh, and then I

59
00:03:42,521 --> 00:03:46,361
Speaker 3: pulled out her uniform as all scrutched, and just like, oh.

60
00:03:46,441 --> 00:03:49,641
Speaker 2: That hot mess of a mom there she I bet

61
00:03:49,681 --> 00:03:53,281
Speaker 2: though there was a mom there with a steam cleaner.

62
00:03:53,201 --> 00:03:56,601
Speaker 1: Like a fucking everything you can think of, everything you.

63
00:03:56,561 --> 00:03:59,641
Speaker 2: Can think they have like pockets full of bobby pins.

64
00:03:59,881 --> 00:04:03,401
Speaker 3: Yeah. I had that particular mom in the room where

65
00:04:03,441 --> 00:04:06,201
Speaker 3: I was volunteering with the girls, because I always went

66
00:04:06,241 --> 00:04:08,201
Speaker 3: in the room where my girls were because it made

67
00:04:08,241 --> 00:04:10,281
Speaker 3: sense like they would look for me anyway that were

68
00:04:10,321 --> 00:04:13,121
Speaker 3: super little, and I could help them as well as

69
00:04:13,161 --> 00:04:15,201
Speaker 3: helping others that were in So I've sort of progressed

70
00:04:15,281 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 3: with that same group all the way through. But I

71
00:04:17,801 --> 00:04:19,681
Speaker 3: had one of those moms in there that was like

72
00:04:20,361 --> 00:04:24,681
Speaker 3: constantly every year her bum bag would just like advance

73
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,401
Speaker 3: with how much stuff and how cool she was with

74
00:04:28,521 --> 00:04:30,721
Speaker 3: all of the things, like anything that you can possibly

75
00:04:30,761 --> 00:04:32,720
Speaker 3: think of that you would be like so left field

76
00:04:32,761 --> 00:04:35,481
Speaker 3: to be in your bum bag, like a dance bum bag,

77
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:36,561
Speaker 3: and she'd have it.

78
00:04:36,761 --> 00:04:38,041
Speaker 1: Yeah, And then she'd be.

79
00:04:38,001 --> 00:04:41,161
Speaker 3: The mom that, like by the last show, she'd have

80
00:04:41,281 --> 00:04:43,921
Speaker 3: like these fold up cups that went to like this

81
00:04:44,081 --> 00:04:46,281
Speaker 3: big and then they'd pop out to cups and she'd

82
00:04:46,281 --> 00:04:47,841
Speaker 3: pull out like one and.

83
00:04:47,801 --> 00:04:51,961
Speaker 1: You're like what, You're like a unicorn. This is this

84
00:04:52,041 --> 00:04:52,561
Speaker 1: is crazy.

85
00:04:52,721 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 3: But now we're fast forwarding to where now Gracie is

86
00:04:56,481 --> 00:04:59,321
Speaker 3: in the throws. Obviously only have one dance and not two,

87
00:04:59,641 --> 00:05:01,761
Speaker 3: but she's in the throes of going into.

88
00:05:01,561 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: Solos, and I take my hat off to her. I

89
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:05,561
Speaker 1: look at her and I go.

90
00:05:05,761 --> 00:05:10,641
Speaker 3: Oh, my gosh, like I feel nervous for her and

91
00:05:11,041 --> 00:05:15,681
Speaker 3: her composure of a dancer. She's encouraging to everyone else

92
00:05:15,841 --> 00:05:19,361
Speaker 3: that's out there, and she is technically competing against them,

93
00:05:19,801 --> 00:05:24,721
Speaker 3: but she's encouraging. She just doesn't let anything undo her.

94
00:05:25,001 --> 00:05:27,641
Speaker 3: And I just admire that because I'm feeling it all

95
00:05:27,721 --> 00:05:30,361
Speaker 3: day until her solos are done, because I go, do

96
00:05:30,361 --> 00:05:33,681
Speaker 3: you imagine being on stage for three minutes all by yourself,

97
00:05:33,721 --> 00:05:37,681
Speaker 3: all the crowd's watching you. There's no opportunity to basically

98
00:05:37,721 --> 00:05:41,841
Speaker 3: mess up? And I can't even get certain things as

99
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 3: the preparation team right, So I can't imagine what it's

100
00:05:44,681 --> 00:05:47,921
Speaker 3: like being out there. But now I find myself Katie.

101
00:05:47,921 --> 00:05:50,721
Speaker 3: Monday afternoon, after dance drop off, I go to Spotlight.

102
00:05:50,721 --> 00:05:53,840
Speaker 3: I've been told, I've been given instruction that her jazz

103
00:05:54,001 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 3: solo uniform.

104
00:05:55,481 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: Needs to be like jug up. It needs bling, it needs.

105
00:05:59,681 --> 00:06:02,921
Speaker 3: Sparkle, it needs and I sort of looked at the

106
00:06:02,961 --> 00:06:06,561
Speaker 3: teacher who's her solo teacher, and was like, so where

107
00:06:06,561 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 3: do I get that done?

108
00:06:07,681 --> 00:06:09,161
Speaker 1: Do they not do that? Do they not?

109
00:06:09,401 --> 00:06:09,441
Speaker 3: No?

110
00:06:09,481 --> 00:06:13,121
Speaker 1: I would no, not with solos. They're not going to

111
00:06:13,361 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 1: do that just for one because it's hers.

112
00:06:15,361 --> 00:06:17,281
Speaker 3: So she's got a jazz and a tap and she's

113
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,121
Speaker 3: working on a hip hop. Don't get me started on

114
00:06:20,161 --> 00:06:22,481
Speaker 3: what they're requiring me to be able to do for

115
00:06:22,561 --> 00:06:23,161
Speaker 3: a hip hop.

116
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: And like this is someone that is like, you know

117
00:06:26,401 --> 00:06:28,161
Speaker 1: when people are oh, are you really creative?

118
00:06:28,561 --> 00:06:32,721
Speaker 3: No, No, I'm not actually like and I I don't

119
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 3: want to sit and sew and tack.

120
00:06:35,001 --> 00:06:37,001
Speaker 1: What does tech even mean? I don't even know what

121
00:06:37,041 --> 00:06:37,561
Speaker 1: tach means.

122
00:06:37,601 --> 00:06:42,721
Speaker 3: I didn't even pass my home economics group class. I

123
00:06:42,801 --> 00:06:45,961
Speaker 3: got a b pluss for my shorts and sewing because

124
00:06:46,001 --> 00:06:47,201
Speaker 3: somebody else finished them off.

125
00:06:47,401 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that and this there is where I remember

126
00:06:50,361 --> 00:06:54,081
Speaker 2: we talked about the stapler. Stapler is your friend, the

127
00:06:54,081 --> 00:06:57,161
Speaker 2: stapler because you don't have to sew, just staple shit

128
00:06:57,281 --> 00:06:58,961
Speaker 2: on there, like bling it up, Katie.

129
00:06:58,961 --> 00:07:01,361
Speaker 3: These blink things can't go on so like the teacher

130
00:07:01,401 --> 00:07:05,041
Speaker 3: wants they bling, but can't be sequenced because sequence aren't

131
00:07:05,241 --> 00:07:05,841
Speaker 3: enough bling.

132
00:07:06,041 --> 00:07:07,521
Speaker 1: So so we've got.

133
00:07:07,361 --> 00:07:09,641
Speaker 3: Like what do they call them that are not sequenced

134
00:07:09,641 --> 00:07:13,401
Speaker 3: like Ryan stones, Oh, like proper gems.

135
00:07:13,681 --> 00:07:17,561
Speaker 1: And then I have yes like one b one yes

136
00:07:18,201 --> 00:07:20,401
Speaker 1: with tweezers. Oh my god.

137
00:07:20,641 --> 00:07:23,361
Speaker 3: And so I'm sitting there watching the block, trying to

138
00:07:23,521 --> 00:07:25,841
Speaker 3: a work out a pattern that I wanted to look like.

139
00:07:26,441 --> 00:07:29,521
Speaker 1: I'm putting gems on socks.

140
00:07:29,281 --> 00:07:33,121
Speaker 3: Like cruise socks that people wear play sport that they

141
00:07:33,241 --> 00:07:34,001
Speaker 3: just pull on.

142
00:07:35,001 --> 00:07:36,561
Speaker 1: I'm putting fucking gems on them.

143
00:07:36,801 --> 00:07:40,161
Speaker 2: How's your glue going like it? Oh, it's not sticking,

144
00:07:40,241 --> 00:07:41,441
Speaker 2: is it? They're not sticking?

145
00:07:41,481 --> 00:07:43,761
Speaker 3: But I went to I went to Spotlight, and no

146
00:07:43,801 --> 00:07:45,881
Speaker 3: one actually helped me, which was a part. And then

147
00:07:45,921 --> 00:07:48,921
Speaker 3: I turned to this no offense with older ladies that

148
00:07:49,001 --> 00:07:50,001
Speaker 3: go to Spotlight a lot.

149
00:07:49,921 --> 00:07:51,921
Speaker 1: Because it's one of like my mum is one of them.

150
00:07:52,201 --> 00:07:52,961
Speaker 1: It's now you.

151
00:07:53,441 --> 00:07:55,801
Speaker 3: And so I turned to her, thinking she'll know, and

152
00:07:55,881 --> 00:07:59,761
Speaker 3: I was like, sorry, do you glue gemstones onto fabric much?

153
00:08:00,681 --> 00:08:03,001
Speaker 1: She was like sorry, and I was like wrong one.

154
00:08:03,321 --> 00:08:04,801
Speaker 3: I went, I just want to know if this is

155
00:08:04,801 --> 00:08:08,161
Speaker 3: the glue because people that work at Spotlight seem to

156
00:08:08,281 --> 00:08:11,241
Speaker 3: not exist either except for that at the counters, and

157
00:08:11,321 --> 00:08:13,961
Speaker 3: so I was like looking for someone that looks crafty.

158
00:08:14,121 --> 00:08:16,721
Speaker 3: And I'd picked up and read every glue thing that

159
00:08:16,761 --> 00:08:18,641
Speaker 3: there was, but I wanted to know whether I needed

160
00:08:18,641 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 3: a hot glue gum or this other particular fabric glue thing.

161
00:08:23,681 --> 00:08:26,721
Speaker 1: Because it never works like it's supposed to work. It

162
00:08:26,761 --> 00:08:30,241
Speaker 1: never does what it's going to be, like when she

163
00:08:30,281 --> 00:08:32,961
Speaker 1: puts the socks on. Since she puts the socks onthing,

164
00:08:33,001 --> 00:08:34,121
Speaker 1: you're going to fly off.

165
00:08:35,161 --> 00:08:39,281
Speaker 2: You imagine that you watched a whole episode of the

166
00:08:39,361 --> 00:08:41,201
Speaker 2: block whilst gluing on Ryan.

167
00:08:41,281 --> 00:08:43,241
Speaker 1: Soon she puts one sock on it and they all

168
00:08:43,281 --> 00:08:47,281
Speaker 1: fly off. So now I think one sock.

169
00:08:47,441 --> 00:08:50,561
Speaker 3: I've done one side because I need it to like dry,

170
00:08:51,321 --> 00:08:53,481
Speaker 3: so I can't do the other side tool like tonight.

171
00:08:54,161 --> 00:08:56,001
Speaker 3: And then I've got another sock to do, so I've

172
00:08:56,041 --> 00:08:58,561
Speaker 3: got to do another like three sides or four sides

173
00:08:58,601 --> 00:09:01,401
Speaker 3: of the sock to go, and then I have to

174
00:09:01,441 --> 00:09:04,601
Speaker 3: start on her shorts because her shorts are separate to

175
00:09:04,641 --> 00:09:05,001
Speaker 3: the uni.

176
00:09:05,521 --> 00:09:07,601
Speaker 2: How long has it taken you to do a sock

177
00:09:07,921 --> 00:09:08,721
Speaker 2: like one sock?

178
00:09:08,961 --> 00:09:11,321
Speaker 1: Took me like a whole episode, which would be like

179
00:09:11,361 --> 00:09:14,121
Speaker 1: an hour and a bit. Yeah, probably longer. Actually I

180
00:09:14,161 --> 00:09:16,121
Speaker 1: started before the blox. You know what you should do?

181
00:09:18,281 --> 00:09:23,481
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, gluing Rhyanstone on socks.

182
00:09:23,801 --> 00:09:26,041
Speaker 1: That would be like torture for me. And then you

183
00:09:26,081 --> 00:09:27,561
Speaker 1: know what the teacher says to me.

184
00:09:27,601 --> 00:09:29,761
Speaker 3: For her hip hop, you know what you should get

185
00:09:29,761 --> 00:09:32,561
Speaker 3: her a pair of cargo boots, like the high cargo

186
00:09:32,601 --> 00:09:33,881
Speaker 3: boots and then.

187
00:09:34,081 --> 00:09:37,801
Speaker 1: Rhyanstone the jeweler all the way. I was like, and

188
00:09:37,841 --> 00:09:39,481
Speaker 1: then I put it on my gram for a bit

189
00:09:39,521 --> 00:09:40,721
Speaker 1: of a laugh. Get this.

190
00:09:41,281 --> 00:09:44,121
Speaker 3: Someone reached out to me another mom and went, oh

191
00:09:44,161 --> 00:09:47,001
Speaker 3: my gosh, I feel your pain. I have just finished

192
00:09:47,201 --> 00:09:49,761
Speaker 3: jeweling a pair of cargo shoes for.

193
00:09:49,801 --> 00:09:53,441
Speaker 1: My daughter, for my daughter for a dance, and I

194
00:09:53,481 --> 00:09:57,281
Speaker 1: was like, that's what I want next? What size is she?

195
00:09:57,441 --> 00:10:00,961
Speaker 1: And what date is the concert? Can we share? Can

196
00:10:01,041 --> 00:10:03,361
Speaker 1: I buy them from you? That's what I was thinking.

197
00:10:04,401 --> 00:10:04,961
Speaker 1: But it's good.

198
00:10:05,041 --> 00:10:08,161
Speaker 3: You know that there's other people out there as crazy,

199
00:10:08,161 --> 00:10:11,961
Speaker 3: but like elevated. I'm elevating myself, Like I didn't even

200
00:10:12,001 --> 00:10:14,601
Speaker 3: know I could do this as a dance mum.

201
00:10:14,841 --> 00:10:19,481
Speaker 2: I remember sewing stuff in the car on the way

202
00:10:19,521 --> 00:10:21,801
Speaker 2: to the concert. I would be in the car and

203
00:10:21,881 --> 00:10:26,921
Speaker 2: I would be sewing fucking hats onto head pieces.

204
00:10:26,521 --> 00:10:28,361
Speaker 1: Of what I don't know, just shit.

205
00:10:28,601 --> 00:10:35,201
Speaker 3: Shit's like this other dance mum, Abby, she can literally

206
00:10:35,281 --> 00:10:38,361
Speaker 3: like be sewing them up or like tacking them as

207
00:10:38,401 --> 00:10:40,321
Speaker 3: they're walking onto stage to perform.

208
00:10:40,441 --> 00:10:41,521
Speaker 1: She's like that good.

209
00:10:41,761 --> 00:10:45,561
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're like next level mums. Like it's a real talent.

210
00:10:46,161 --> 00:10:48,441
Speaker 2: It is a talent, dance mum, talent.

211
00:10:48,641 --> 00:10:52,801
Speaker 3: I don't know that I'll ever elevate myself to that role.

212
00:10:53,281 --> 00:10:57,081
Speaker 1: No, but you know, maybe I could take up the gluing. No,

213
00:10:57,161 --> 00:10:59,481
Speaker 1: I don't want to take up the going. I'n't doing

214
00:10:59,521 --> 00:11:02,681
Speaker 1: it for a whole team of dancers. That's why they don't.

215
00:11:03,001 --> 00:11:04,001
Speaker 1: That's why it's your job.

216
00:11:04,241 --> 00:11:07,721
Speaker 2: That's all the They're in their own world of pain,

217
00:11:07,921 --> 00:11:10,321
Speaker 2: bluing rhinestones to sucks.

218
00:11:10,841 --> 00:11:13,081

219
00:11:13,161 --> 00:11:16,761

00:11:16,841 --> 00:11:20,801
Speaker 1: she is wearing those. You wear them, then I'll wear them.
