<v Speaker 1>Apogee Production.

0:00:23.081 --> 0:00:25.641
<v Speaker 2>Welcome back to another episode of Am I A Bad

0:00:25.761 --> 0:00:29.041
<v Speaker 2>Mum Podcast. We're on Instagram as well if you want

0:00:29.041 --> 0:00:30.201
<v Speaker 2>to send us any of your memes.

0:00:30.201 --> 0:00:33.480
<v Speaker 3>We love the memes, the love memes, love the mum memes,

0:00:33.601 --> 0:00:35.081
<v Speaker 3>and there's plenty of them.

0:00:35.161 --> 0:00:36.521
<v Speaker 1>They're never short at all.

0:00:37.361 --> 0:00:40.001
<v Speaker 3>I do have a slight problem at the moment, which

0:00:40.040 --> 0:00:42.560
<v Speaker 3>is more due to timing of the year, but it

0:00:42.721 --> 0:00:44.120
<v Speaker 3>is coming out Halloween.

0:00:44.681 --> 0:00:49.081
<v Speaker 2>You participating, Yeah, well, I'm concentrating on Birthday in November

0:00:49.120 --> 0:00:51.561
<v Speaker 2>and then Christmas, which I've done nothing for.

0:00:51.601 --> 0:00:57.161
<v Speaker 3>Okay, Halloweens before that. Yeah, I know that, just like

0:00:57.321 --> 0:00:58.521
<v Speaker 3>only a couple of weeks away.

0:00:58.641 --> 0:01:01.401
<v Speaker 2>I just I sort of get away of not doing

0:01:01.641 --> 0:01:04.000
<v Speaker 2>much of Halloween anymore. There was definitely a time where

0:01:04.041 --> 0:01:05.921
<v Speaker 2>we would all dress up as a family and we'd

0:01:05.921 --> 0:01:08.921
<v Speaker 2>all go to or treating and they'd want the decorations

0:01:08.921 --> 0:01:11.681
<v Speaker 2>and stuff, which, by the way, I see people who

0:01:11.801 --> 0:01:15.000
<v Speaker 2>absolutely love Halloween and they go all out. I really

0:01:15.360 --> 0:01:19.560
<v Speaker 2>cannot justify spending money on Halloween stuff when it's one night.

0:01:20.041 --> 0:01:21.001
<v Speaker 1>It's one day, one day.

0:01:21.081 --> 0:01:23.241
<v Speaker 2>Christmas decorations you can have up for a couple of

0:01:23.241 --> 0:01:25.001
<v Speaker 2>weeks longer if you want.

0:01:25.321 --> 0:01:26.441
<v Speaker 1>If you have one of those people.

0:01:26.881 --> 0:01:29.840
<v Speaker 2>I feel like Halloween is literally one day you've got

0:01:29.840 --> 0:01:30.880
<v Speaker 2>the one day.

0:01:31.321 --> 0:01:34.000
<v Speaker 3>We are in a situation where same thing, we're still

0:01:34.241 --> 0:01:37.481
<v Speaker 3>like backtrack from you in that situation of the girls

0:01:37.560 --> 0:01:41.041
<v Speaker 3>enjoying it. Then also the fact that we're in an

0:01:41.321 --> 0:01:45.600
<v Speaker 3>estate where everyone not everyone, but we have a large

0:01:45.601 --> 0:01:49.161
<v Speaker 3>portion of it that have young kids that like Halloween

0:01:49.361 --> 0:01:51.081
<v Speaker 3>that then expect lollies.

0:01:50.761 --> 0:01:53.001
<v Speaker 1>From our house. Yep, I don't have the heart to

0:01:53.001 --> 0:01:57.881
<v Speaker 1>even just like close the gate and pretelose and pretend

0:01:57.881 --> 0:01:59.881
<v Speaker 1>that I'm not there. But this year've come.

0:01:59.881 --> 0:02:02.201
<v Speaker 3>Up with a little like sort of a sticky point

0:02:02.281 --> 0:02:04.800
<v Speaker 3>in the sense that Gracie wants to do her own

0:02:04.881 --> 0:02:07.241
<v Speaker 3>thing and not be a part of the family. And

0:02:07.321 --> 0:02:09.161
<v Speaker 3>I was sort of like, well, I don't think we

0:02:09.201 --> 0:02:13.321
<v Speaker 3>should do anything because it's also a dance night. And

0:02:13.361 --> 0:02:15.121
<v Speaker 3>I was like, but I paid for dance, like your

0:02:15.201 --> 0:02:17.281
<v Speaker 3>dance lissons. I paid for them.

0:02:17.481 --> 0:02:19.800
<v Speaker 1>That is like priority at the moment, and time does

0:02:19.881 --> 0:02:23.521
<v Speaker 1>dance finish? Six thirty too late?

0:02:23.881 --> 0:02:26.361
<v Speaker 3>I've already given all the candy out to every other

0:02:26.601 --> 0:02:29.921
<v Speaker 3>person's children that are walking the streets taking them. I'm

0:02:29.960 --> 0:02:33.281
<v Speaker 3>telling you, like, we have people at I would say

0:02:33.361 --> 0:02:36.201
<v Speaker 3>like maybe quarter past five five o'clock and then it's

0:02:36.201 --> 0:02:38.681
<v Speaker 3>peak out five to like six point thirty, maybe the

0:02:38.721 --> 0:02:40.161
<v Speaker 3>stragglers at six forty five.

0:02:40.561 --> 0:02:44.561
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you know. I genuinely last year got a knock

0:02:44.601 --> 0:02:47.681
<v Speaker 2>on the door, opened it, saw the kids dressed up,

0:02:47.721 --> 0:02:49.280
<v Speaker 2>and went, oh shit, it's Halloween.

0:02:49.561 --> 0:02:51.520
<v Speaker 1>Did you throw them a loaf of bread or something?

0:02:53.281 --> 0:02:56.081
<v Speaker 1>Oh shit, it's Halloween. I've got no here take it.

0:02:58.361 --> 0:03:01.561
<v Speaker 2>No, Because I always keep the lollies that the kids

0:03:01.601 --> 0:03:04.121
<v Speaker 2>get heaps from the previous year. I was just putting

0:03:04.161 --> 0:03:06.441
<v Speaker 2>them all out again. I don't let them eat that

0:03:06.520 --> 0:03:09.481
<v Speaker 2>many lollies on the years because they have been trick

0:03:09.520 --> 0:03:11.401
<v Speaker 2>or treating, so I just keep them in a contentment.

0:03:11.481 --> 0:03:14.601
<v Speaker 2>They just come out again, Babe, they're off probably about

0:03:14.641 --> 0:03:15.481
<v Speaker 2>seven years old.

0:03:25.561 --> 0:03:27.281
<v Speaker 1>Am I a bad.

0:03:27.121 --> 0:03:31.120
<v Speaker 3>Mom for resenting giving up my Friday Night?

0:03:31.641 --> 0:03:34.201
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, Friday night lights?

0:03:34.601 --> 0:03:37.121
<v Speaker 2>No, you're not a bad mum for resenting. I would

0:03:37.161 --> 0:03:38.201
<v Speaker 2>absolutely do the same.

0:03:38.641 --> 0:03:41.681
<v Speaker 3>So Friday Nights for us is now little athletics like

0:03:41.801 --> 0:03:44.561
<v Speaker 3>I started that last year. Put my name down for

0:03:44.601 --> 0:03:47.361
<v Speaker 3>the committee this year.

0:03:47.761 --> 0:03:48.001
<v Speaker 2>Yeap.

0:03:48.081 --> 0:03:52.521
<v Speaker 1>I haven't been to one meeting. Worst committee member ever?

0:03:52.841 --> 0:03:53.761
<v Speaker 2>What does that involve?

0:03:53.881 --> 0:03:54.321
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

0:03:54.441 --> 0:03:56.281
<v Speaker 3>I said to them I definitely put my name down

0:03:56.281 --> 0:03:57.961
<v Speaker 3>for the committee and I'm happy to be a part

0:03:57.961 --> 0:03:58.201
<v Speaker 3>of it.

0:03:58.281 --> 0:03:59.681
<v Speaker 1>Just don't give me any jobs.

0:04:01.441 --> 0:04:04.041
<v Speaker 2>So you're just a name. You're just like a name

0:04:04.121 --> 0:04:07.881
<v Speaker 2>on the committee members board. You don't do anything. There's

0:04:08.361 --> 0:04:10.041
<v Speaker 2>committing to any.

0:04:09.681 --> 0:04:12.961
<v Speaker 3>I commit every Friday night when I turn up and

0:04:13.281 --> 0:04:16.841
<v Speaker 3>take my child to the under tens group, and then

0:04:16.881 --> 0:04:20.401
<v Speaker 3>I have to sort of do the recording or like

0:04:20.441 --> 0:04:23.080
<v Speaker 3>the measuring, and it's not just my child doing it,

0:04:23.081 --> 0:04:23.960
<v Speaker 3>it's everyone else's.

0:04:23.961 --> 0:04:26.121
<v Speaker 2>So what does the rest of the committee do.

0:04:27.440 --> 0:04:33.280
<v Speaker 3>They are really proactive, and really it's a really good committee. Actually,

0:04:33.320 --> 0:04:36.521
<v Speaker 3>they all are really lovely people that just get in

0:04:36.641 --> 0:04:39.121
<v Speaker 3>and like they run the Friday night so there's like

0:04:39.161 --> 0:04:43.161
<v Speaker 3>from the sausage sizzle to like the guy handing out numbers, and.

0:04:43.801 --> 0:04:46.440
<v Speaker 2>So they find it really beneficial having a part of it.

0:04:49.880 --> 0:04:51.481
<v Speaker 1>I'm a big part of their team.

0:04:52.161 --> 0:04:59.281
<v Speaker 3>And I think it's already been week five, maybe week four. Anyway,

0:04:59.281 --> 0:05:02.641
<v Speaker 3>I've been once to take my child to little athletics.

0:05:02.681 --> 0:05:05.801
<v Speaker 3>We've missed like three to four weeks of Friday nights

0:05:05.801 --> 0:05:08.521
<v Speaker 3>because Friday nights, you know how they just back up,

0:05:08.601 --> 0:05:12.081
<v Speaker 3>they're just busy. And then she was away and Cloncurry

0:05:12.241 --> 0:05:14.321
<v Speaker 3>and then so it's just a number of things. So

0:05:14.361 --> 0:05:17.841
<v Speaker 3>then when I finally did turn up on Friday night,

0:05:17.961 --> 0:05:18.961
<v Speaker 3>I got the old.

0:05:18.801 --> 0:05:22.481
<v Speaker 1>Ah, I didn't think you were coming back. Didn't think

0:05:22.521 --> 0:05:23.281
<v Speaker 1>you were coming back.

0:05:23.521 --> 0:05:25.881
<v Speaker 3>As I was driving there, I was like, oh, man,

0:05:26.880 --> 0:05:28.241
<v Speaker 3>I love I love.

0:05:28.041 --> 0:05:31.121
<v Speaker 1>What we do. I love what we give our kids,

0:05:31.121 --> 0:05:33.001
<v Speaker 1>the opportunities that all the rest.

0:05:33.041 --> 0:05:37.321
<v Speaker 3>But I'm like, Friday nights are tough. Friday nights are

0:05:37.401 --> 0:05:38.081
<v Speaker 3>so tough.

0:05:38.401 --> 0:05:41.121
<v Speaker 2>I don't think I would sign up for them to

0:05:41.201 --> 0:05:43.121
<v Speaker 2>do anything on a Friday night. I think I would

0:05:43.161 --> 0:05:44.481
<v Speaker 2>just tell them that it's not on.

0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:48.921
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I tried that for so many years, and then

0:05:49.001 --> 0:05:50.121
<v Speaker 1>she really wanted to laugh.

0:05:51.641 --> 0:05:52.400
<v Speaker 2>Then they got older.

0:05:52.481 --> 0:05:55.521
<v Speaker 1>Now they're smart, they go, Mom's just telling us shit.

0:05:55.721 --> 0:05:57.961
<v Speaker 2>It's like when they get to that point where they

0:05:58.001 --> 0:06:01.121
<v Speaker 2>can actually tell the time, and so when you tell

0:06:01.161 --> 0:06:03.201
<v Speaker 2>them it's like eight o'clock, they're going to bed and

0:06:03.241 --> 0:06:04.160
<v Speaker 2>it's actually six.

0:06:04.361 --> 0:06:06.681
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, idea, it's a dead giveaway.

0:06:06.801 --> 0:06:06.961
<v Speaker 3>Mum.

0:06:07.041 --> 0:06:08.440
<v Speaker 1>The sun is still.

0:06:09.961 --> 0:06:12.361
<v Speaker 2>Well, it's summer.

0:06:12.481 --> 0:06:14.440
<v Speaker 3>I think the way that I look at it is

0:06:15.681 --> 0:06:19.761
<v Speaker 3>now when we go on a Friday night, the only

0:06:19.880 --> 0:06:21.200
<v Speaker 3>positive is that.

0:06:23.561 --> 0:06:26.401
<v Speaker 1>There is no I'm trying to think of it. Oh,

0:06:26.521 --> 0:06:27.561
<v Speaker 1>the sausage sizzle.

0:06:27.801 --> 0:06:29.561
<v Speaker 3>I don't have to cook dinner for the kids because

0:06:29.561 --> 0:06:32.601
<v Speaker 3>my kids love the sausage sizzle. So that's my positive

0:06:32.721 --> 0:06:35.641
<v Speaker 3>to Little Athletics is that they feed my children. I'm

0:06:35.681 --> 0:06:37.961
<v Speaker 3>still paying for it, of course, but they at least

0:06:38.001 --> 0:06:39.001
<v Speaker 3>I don't have to cook.

0:06:39.921 --> 0:06:42.521
<v Speaker 2>I've got a friend, in fact, we've got a friend

0:06:43.001 --> 0:06:48.401
<v Speaker 2>whose daughter does gymnastics on a Friday night and he

0:06:48.761 --> 0:06:55.161
<v Speaker 2>takes a flask with wine in it, like a water bottle,

0:06:55.641 --> 0:06:58.161
<v Speaker 2>Like it's disguised as a water bottle.

0:06:58.281 --> 0:07:00.161
<v Speaker 3>I think it's a dead giveaway though, when you rock

0:07:00.241 --> 0:07:03.681
<v Speaker 3>up every Friday night with the same water bottle, it's like, oh, yeah,

0:07:03.681 --> 0:07:04.440
<v Speaker 3>we're doing it too.

0:07:04.641 --> 0:07:06.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and then you get happier and happier, isn't it.

0:07:07.041 --> 0:07:09.041
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you get more friendlier and you want to chat

0:07:09.081 --> 0:07:10.721
<v Speaker 3>about random things.

0:07:10.521 --> 0:07:14.841
<v Speaker 2>And then you get by with your kids.

0:07:15.401 --> 0:07:18.161
<v Speaker 3>I would love to have one on the way to

0:07:18.761 --> 0:07:21.601
<v Speaker 3>like Little Athletics, or before going to the I've still

0:07:21.601 --> 0:07:22.361
<v Speaker 3>got to drive there.

0:07:22.681 --> 0:07:27.201
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's that's the thing that's only really helpful and

0:07:27.281 --> 0:07:29.881
<v Speaker 2>doable if you live in walking distance of the place that.

0:07:29.841 --> 0:07:30.401
<v Speaker 1>You're going to do.

0:07:30.561 --> 0:07:35.481
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we definitely don't. So, yeah, that's the Friday nights

0:07:35.641 --> 0:07:40.201
<v Speaker 3>of I guess it's until the end of February for us.

0:07:40.441 --> 0:07:43.041
<v Speaker 3>I think it's February or March. It goes through till

0:07:43.121 --> 0:07:44.801
<v Speaker 3>so there goes the Fridays.

0:07:44.921 --> 0:07:48.121
<v Speaker 2>I held off, I think probably until the girls were

0:07:48.201 --> 0:07:52.081
<v Speaker 2>like maybe seven or eight. I held off from any

0:07:52.121 --> 0:07:53.121
<v Speaker 2>weekend sports.

0:07:53.241 --> 0:07:53.601
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:07:53.761 --> 0:07:56.561
<v Speaker 2>I was like, no, we're not doing things like Saturday

0:07:56.561 --> 0:07:59.201
<v Speaker 2>morning at six am, Like, that's not happening in this house.

0:08:00.761 --> 0:08:06.521
<v Speaker 2>We doing it, and we then did have yeah with

0:08:06.641 --> 0:08:10.401
<v Speaker 2>ice skating, Yeah, ice skating and dancing, we had Saturday mornings.

0:08:10.601 --> 0:08:11.721
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it did get.

0:08:11.641 --> 0:08:14.921
<v Speaker 2>To that stage and now and now, rach we're at

0:08:14.961 --> 0:08:17.921
<v Speaker 2>the stage where Amelia on Saturday has a shift from.

0:08:17.841 --> 0:08:19.641
<v Speaker 1>Eight till eleven, so.

0:08:19.481 --> 0:08:23.601
<v Speaker 2>She nationally needs to be dropped at work all different things.

0:08:24.681 --> 0:08:28.641
<v Speaker 2>And even she was like, ugh eight am. I went, yeah,

0:08:28.641 --> 0:08:30.641
<v Speaker 2>but you'd be done by eleven, that's what time you

0:08:30.681 --> 0:08:32.481
<v Speaker 2>normally get out of bed. She was like, oh, yeah,

0:08:32.521 --> 0:08:34.761
<v Speaker 2>I'll have a whole day still and of her money

0:08:34.881 --> 0:08:38.241
<v Speaker 2>and yeah, see, how good because teenagers don't like to

0:08:38.241 --> 0:08:40.081
<v Speaker 2>get up in the morning. And Rache, I'm surprised that

0:08:40.121 --> 0:08:42.081
<v Speaker 2>Holly even got a job because when she went to

0:08:42.121 --> 0:08:46.081
<v Speaker 2>her interview, they asked her what days and time she

0:08:46.161 --> 0:08:48.521
