<v Speaker 2>hang shit on ourselves about the ability of parenting and

0:00:47.840 --> 0:00:51.081
<v Speaker 2>whether we can show some of those like abilities once

0:00:51.161 --> 0:00:52.080

0:00:52.641 --> 0:00:56.281
<v Speaker 1>My girls are because they're gen z. They're let's remind

0:00:56.281 --> 0:00:58.441
<v Speaker 1>me of that all the time. Actually, you're a millennia.

0:00:58.441 --> 0:00:59.441

0:00:59.641 --> 0:01:00.521
<v Speaker 2>Okay.

0:01:00.840 --> 0:01:03.841
<v Speaker 1>They do a lot of videos and like catcut and

0:01:03.921 --> 0:01:07.561
<v Speaker 1>things like that, Yeah TikTok, I guess and stuff. And

0:01:08.081 --> 0:01:10.721
<v Speaker 1>Jay said to them, do you want to learn how

0:01:10.721 --> 0:01:14.601
<v Speaker 1>to do videos for like socials? So for the podcast,

0:01:14.640 --> 0:01:17.441
<v Speaker 1>for example, we filmed the podcasts and then we put

0:01:17.441 --> 0:01:20.200
<v Speaker 1>a video on Socials to give it a little tease

0:01:20.840 --> 0:01:24.721
<v Speaker 1>and they were like yeah, yeah, great. And so Jay's

0:01:24.801 --> 0:01:27.641
<v Speaker 1>like going through the drive of all the different podcasts,

0:01:28.121 --> 0:01:30.521
<v Speaker 1>and he said, shall I give him an episode of

0:01:30.521 --> 0:01:31.361
<v Speaker 1>Am I A Bad Mum?

0:01:31.401 --> 0:01:31.601
<v Speaker 2>To do?

0:01:31.721 --> 0:01:33.720
<v Speaker 1>I went no, not until I listened to what it

0:01:33.761 --> 0:01:36.681
<v Speaker 1>was about. First. He was like, oh, just like yeah,

0:01:36.681 --> 0:01:38.321
<v Speaker 1>you can just go through one. I was like, no,

0:01:38.560 --> 0:01:40.241
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what I said in the episode. I

0:01:40.241 --> 0:01:41.401
<v Speaker 1>don't want them listening.

0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:43.481
<v Speaker 2>To it, like yeah in my head that, I was like, no,

0:01:43.681 --> 0:01:46.800
<v Speaker 2>they'd have the field day with it. They'd absolutely annihilate us.

0:01:46.961 --> 0:01:50.041
<v Speaker 1>I was worried about what we said, and so in

0:01:50.081 --> 0:01:52.201
<v Speaker 1>the end he gave them a true crime to do.

0:01:53.081 --> 0:01:55.681
<v Speaker 2>What a great representation of great parenting?

0:02:05.761 --> 0:02:09.281
<v Speaker 1>Am I a bad mum for trying to reason with

0:02:09.401 --> 0:02:13.361
<v Speaker 1>the unreasonable? So I spoke on a previous episode about

0:02:13.361 --> 0:02:16.400
<v Speaker 1>how my girls are Billie Eilish obsessed and they wanted

0:02:16.481 --> 0:02:19.481
<v Speaker 1>to save up some money and fly to London to

0:02:20.121 --> 0:02:21.161
<v Speaker 1>go to her concert.

0:02:21.321 --> 0:02:25.520
<v Speaker 2>I wondered, how this is going, Yeah, so it's going obviously.

0:02:25.800 --> 0:02:30.641
<v Speaker 1>Well I did have the conversation of going, this is

0:02:30.921 --> 0:02:34.841
<v Speaker 1>really unachievable. Oh you did, because.

0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:36.481
<v Speaker 2>Because that was the conversation you and I had, which

0:02:36.561 --> 0:02:39.001
<v Speaker 2>was like, do I break their dreams down now.

0:02:39.161 --> 0:02:41.761
<v Speaker 1>Or just later? Yeah, I kind of did, because.

0:02:42.561 --> 0:02:44.641
<v Speaker 2>I'm glad that we went through that. Because I didn't.

0:02:44.641 --> 0:02:45.481
<v Speaker 2>We said don't do.

0:02:45.520 --> 0:02:51.161
<v Speaker 1>It nil July at least, Yeah, we did, but the

0:02:51.201 --> 0:02:54.840
<v Speaker 1>concert is in July, and I was like, look your

0:02:54.881 --> 0:02:58.560
<v Speaker 1>flight prices that you've put in your document for you

0:02:58.641 --> 0:03:01.281
<v Speaker 1>know what your expenses are. Well, by the time you

0:03:01.321 --> 0:03:03.641
<v Speaker 1>can save that money and book them, they're going to

0:03:03.680 --> 0:03:06.601
<v Speaker 1>be a lot more than that. Yeah, it's and then

0:03:06.881 --> 0:03:09.401
<v Speaker 1>the whole who's going to go with you? We can't

0:03:09.401 --> 0:03:12.121
<v Speaker 1>just send you across the world on your own. Anyway.

0:03:12.161 --> 0:03:17.321
<v Speaker 1>They were pretty good at receiving the news that we're

0:03:17.321 --> 0:03:20.561
<v Speaker 1>not really going to London in July. It's probably not

0:03:20.641 --> 0:03:23.601
<v Speaker 1>going to happen. And then Amelia comes up with a

0:03:23.641 --> 0:03:26.680
<v Speaker 1>brain wave. She turns around to me and she says,

0:03:26.881 --> 0:03:29.641
<v Speaker 1>do you have points? Do you have like flight points?

0:03:30.601 --> 0:03:33.761
<v Speaker 1>I was like, yes, so we could just choose those

0:03:34.641 --> 0:03:38.921
<v Speaker 1>when first of all, I don't have enough for everyone

0:03:38.961 --> 0:03:40.121
<v Speaker 1>to go to London.

0:03:40.281 --> 0:03:40.481
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:03:41.121 --> 0:03:45.601
<v Speaker 1>Secondly, those are my points. It's like money. I want

0:03:45.641 --> 0:03:48.641
<v Speaker 1>to use them towards our flights to go somewhere. She

0:03:48.801 --> 0:03:52.321
<v Speaker 1>turned around and she wear them. Yeah, but you use

0:03:52.881 --> 0:03:57.401
<v Speaker 1>my points for when I fly. They're mine. Oh, I

0:03:57.521 --> 0:04:02.321
<v Speaker 1>pay for your flights. Whenever you've got points from flights,

0:04:02.641 --> 0:04:07.081
<v Speaker 1>I've paid for the flights. Hollypie up with yeah, actually,

0:04:07.521 --> 0:04:10.161
<v Speaker 1>and that's the same with when you get a massage,

0:04:10.361 --> 0:04:12.921
<v Speaker 1>that's my allowance. Oh and you don't pay for the

0:04:12.921 --> 0:04:13.841
<v Speaker 1>health insurance.

0:04:13.921 --> 0:04:17.001
<v Speaker 2>No, no, these kids are a riot at the moment.

0:04:17.721 --> 0:04:19.841
<v Speaker 2>They're out of control.

0:04:20.881 --> 0:04:22.121
<v Speaker 1>You know now I'm doing.

0:04:22.161 --> 0:04:24.721
<v Speaker 2>You start paying for that private health insurance, and you

0:04:24.761 --> 0:04:27.840
<v Speaker 2>start paying for the flights that you sit your ass

0:04:27.841 --> 0:04:30.640
<v Speaker 2>on an aircraft with your null and void to those.

0:04:30.521 --> 0:04:34.121
<v Speaker 1>Points, my friend, I say to the girls sometimes I

0:04:34.281 --> 0:04:38.321
<v Speaker 1>like to remind them of how much things cost, because

0:04:38.361 --> 0:04:41.921
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, your braces, like when we go to an

0:04:41.921 --> 0:04:45.241
<v Speaker 1>appointment or whatever, I'm just a reminder. You know your braces.

0:04:45.281 --> 0:04:47.960
<v Speaker 1>You know they cost seven thousand dollars. Yeah, there's a

0:04:48.081 --> 0:04:50.001
<v Speaker 1>lot of money. Yeah, And they go, yeah, but you

0:04:50.041 --> 0:04:54.081
<v Speaker 1>get money off from using your health insurance. I went,

0:04:54.201 --> 0:04:57.761
<v Speaker 1>I pay for the health insurance. Doesn't just come for free.

0:04:58.001 --> 0:05:00.520
<v Speaker 1>It's like the health insurance just go oh, here you go,

0:05:00.641 --> 0:05:04.681
<v Speaker 1>here's a couple of thousands towards your braces. Just help

0:05:04.721 --> 0:05:05.041
<v Speaker 1>you out.

0:05:05.320 --> 0:05:08.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no, I paid for that. No, yeah, I know.

0:05:08.361 --> 0:05:13.041
<v Speaker 2>But they also obnoxiously understand that they're not dumb children. Yeah,

0:05:13.081 --> 0:05:17.320
<v Speaker 2>they absolutely know that that's what's happening. It's to push

0:05:17.361 --> 0:05:20.321
<v Speaker 2>my buttons to sure of it. Just on another note,

0:05:20.361 --> 0:05:23.681
<v Speaker 2>just why we're talking about it. How is the dentist going.

0:05:24.361 --> 0:05:26.561
<v Speaker 2>Have they helped to check her races off? This is

0:05:28.001 --> 0:05:30.481
<v Speaker 2>we started this the other week, and I'm like, I'm

0:05:30.561 --> 0:05:33.081
<v Speaker 2>dying to know if your child's still got braces on it.

0:05:33.121 --> 0:05:36.640
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So Amelia's had her braces taken off, that's all fine,

0:05:36.681 --> 0:05:41.001
<v Speaker 1>it's all good. Her account is paid clip to date, right, Yeah,

0:05:41.041 --> 0:05:44.681
<v Speaker 1>Holly's kind of like we breached.

0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:47.520
<v Speaker 2>On it like two weeks ago and you said, yeah,

0:05:47.561 --> 0:05:50.080
<v Speaker 2>so yeah, no, we'll talk about that another time.

0:05:50.241 --> 0:05:53.361
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. So she's almost able to get them off, and

0:05:54.041 --> 0:05:56.881
<v Speaker 1>I said at the last appointment she would really love

0:05:56.921 --> 0:05:59.241
<v Speaker 1>them off for a semi four more, which is in

0:05:59.440 --> 0:06:02.401
<v Speaker 1>like however many weeks, and the dentists went, yeah, I

0:06:02.401 --> 0:06:05.400
<v Speaker 1>think that that's achievable. Yeah, cool, let's book or to

0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:08.121
<v Speaker 1>have them taken off. Now I've booked her in. Then

0:06:08.121 --> 0:06:11.721
<v Speaker 1>I get a phone call and she goes just to

0:06:11.801 --> 0:06:14.320
<v Speaker 1>let you know you're still owing quite a bit on

0:06:14.361 --> 0:06:17.721
<v Speaker 1>your account, and I was like, oh shit, am I

0:06:17.440 --> 0:06:21.761
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, And really what it is is that

0:06:21.880 --> 0:06:24.921
<v Speaker 1>I forget to pay the monthly payment. They don't tend

0:06:24.961 --> 0:06:25.440
<v Speaker 1>a reminder.

0:06:25.481 --> 0:06:28.201
<v Speaker 2>By the way, it's like, it's not at the forefront

0:06:28.201 --> 0:06:32.801
<v Speaker 2>of your mind on you braces. That's a problem. You

0:06:32.841 --> 0:06:35.200
<v Speaker 2>need to get your systems in order, because you're not

0:06:35.241 --> 0:06:37.080
<v Speaker 2>reminding me, so therefore not paying.

0:06:39.001 --> 0:06:41.520
<v Speaker 1>But what it is is that then we will have

0:06:41.561 --> 0:06:44.520
<v Speaker 1>an appointment and it reminds me, and I go, I

0:06:44.561 --> 0:06:45.961
<v Speaker 1>need to make a payment, and I just go on

0:06:46.081 --> 0:06:47.641
<v Speaker 1>to make a payment in the car park, and then

0:06:47.681 --> 0:06:49.880
<v Speaker 1>by the time I've gone in, they're like, oh, who's

0:06:49.921 --> 0:06:52.321
<v Speaker 1>your animal? I just made a payment. Then I get

0:06:52.361 --> 0:06:56.001
<v Speaker 1>an email, right and the email says you know how

0:06:56.681 --> 0:07:01.041
<v Speaker 1>messages in text often don't come across as nice as

0:07:01.041 --> 0:07:02.440
<v Speaker 1>what you would say person.

0:07:03.161 --> 0:07:04.200
<v Speaker 2>This was email.

0:07:04.361 --> 0:07:09.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, this email that came through basically said your account's

0:07:09.440 --> 0:07:12.161
<v Speaker 1>not up to date. If you do not make the

0:07:12.201 --> 0:07:17.081
<v Speaker 1>payment in full, we will not be taking her braces off. Oh.

0:07:17.401 --> 0:07:21.281
<v Speaker 1>I immediately RATE got my back up and I was like,

0:07:21.961 --> 0:07:25.721
<v Speaker 1>what the fuck You're not going to take my child's brace? Like,

0:07:25.801 --> 0:07:28.201
<v Speaker 1>set aside the fact that you know, I run a business.

0:07:28.241 --> 0:07:31.481
<v Speaker 1>I absolutely appreciate that people need to pay and bills

0:07:31.561 --> 0:07:33.721
<v Speaker 1>need to be sortid and all the rest of it.

0:07:33.801 --> 0:07:37.601
<v Speaker 1>I get that. However, the way you said that to

0:07:37.641 --> 0:07:40.121
<v Speaker 1>me made me feel like a piece of shit, and

0:07:40.281 --> 0:07:43.921
<v Speaker 1>I actually got my back up go into extreme rate.

0:07:44.041 --> 0:07:45.441
<v Speaker 1>I was like, I want to get my braces done.

0:07:45.441 --> 0:07:47.441
<v Speaker 1>I'm not going to get done at that place, and

0:07:47.521 --> 0:07:49.281
<v Speaker 1>I go elsewhere. I'm going to take my business. I've

0:07:49.321 --> 0:07:52.041
<v Speaker 1>spent fourteen thousand dollars at this place, and you're telling

0:07:52.081 --> 0:07:54.561
<v Speaker 1>me that if I don't pay the extra bit that

0:07:54.641 --> 0:07:56.281
<v Speaker 1>there is owing, then you're not going to take my

0:07:56.361 --> 0:07:57.561
<v Speaker 1>child's braces off.

0:07:57.841 --> 0:07:58.601

<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna air task at that shit, and I'm going

0:08:01.641 --> 0:08:03.681
<v Speaker 1>to get someone to take the braces off, and I'm

0:08:03.721 --> 0:08:05.441
<v Speaker 1>not going to pay the rest of my bills because

0:08:05.481 --> 0:08:07.641
<v Speaker 1>you've sent that email. You made me feel like shit,

0:08:07.841 --> 0:08:09.401
<v Speaker 1>and I'm not doing any of it.

0:08:10.561 --> 0:08:13.721
<v Speaker 2>This is so good. I want to see someone air

<v Speaker 1>Child's braces because I haven't paid.

0:08:25.041 --> 0:08:26.961
<v Speaker 2>The bill, because she's going to send me four more.

0:08:27.041 --> 0:08:32.040
<v Speaker 2>It's really important. The responses would blow my mind, honestly,

0:08:32.161 --> 0:08:36.081
<v Speaker 2>So what's happened? Where are we at on? Like? Did

0:08:36.121 --> 0:08:38.641
<v Speaker 2>you ring them after the abusive email? No?

0:08:38.721 --> 0:08:40.681
<v Speaker 1>So I did what it wasn't a body would do,

0:08:40.801 --> 0:08:44.361
<v Speaker 1>and I ignored the email waited for a phone call

0:08:44.481 --> 0:08:46.201

<v Speaker 1>our jolly way.

0:09:02.241 --> 0:09:04.161
<v Speaker 2>It is so true, like you just said, the text

0:09:04.201 --> 0:09:07.881
<v Speaker 2>and the email else like the tone, because you can't

0:09:07.921 --> 0:09:10.041
