Speaker 1: Apo Shape Production.
Speaker 2: Welcome back to another episode and am I Dad Mom podcast.
Speaker 2: We're on Instagram as well at am I A Bad Mum?
Speaker 1: Yeah, some good memes we get sent on.
Speaker 3: The very good memes and some very just hilarious responses.
Speaker 3: Like I was saying to the other day, one of
Speaker 3: the responses that came through to something that I put
Speaker 3: on social was about my child kicking the hole in
Speaker 3: the wall.
Speaker 4: Was just like, don't worry, We're all in the same boat.
Speaker 3: My son put his head through a wall when he
Speaker 3: was having sex with his girlfriend in her house in
Speaker 3: the family home, and I was just like, oh, it
Speaker 3: sent me for six.
Speaker 1: I was like, did you tell her that?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah.
Speaker 1: I didn't even try to make any no, no, no.
Speaker 3: No, it was just straight up that's how we were
Speaker 3: having sex. I put my head through the wall. I'd
Speaker 3: have to say that I've never put my head through
Speaker 3: any wall, so I'm not sure what they were doing,
Speaker 3: but it sent me for a six. But it also
Speaker 3: then provides that little piece of like our am I
Speaker 3: A Bad Mum community all just like dancing together to
Speaker 3: go don't worry, it's happening to all of us.
Speaker 1: We're all in it. We're all on the same boat.
Speaker 4: Yeah, my kid was just doing flips on a mattress.
Speaker 1: It's a lot more wholesome.
Speaker 3: Am I a bad mum for clearly not knowing I
Speaker 3: looked after my nephew Leo, he's three and a half. Yeah,
Speaker 3: And when I say looked after, it was basically that
Speaker 3: Jay wanted to be my brother outside doing yard stuff
Speaker 3: with Sam and so then he leaves Leo inside with me. Yeah,
Speaker 3: totally fine, because I never get like the little boy
Speaker 3: time kind of. So we just like we hang out,
Speaker 3: you know, we get the cars out, we play cars
Speaker 3: back and forth for hours, We ride the motorbike, we
Speaker 3: do all that stuff, right, yep. And it's such a
Speaker 3: good day. Now he is in the transition period of
Speaker 3: toilet training.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that part for me, I go, oh no.
Speaker 4: I used to just cry.
Speaker 2: Like Jay would call me from work some days and
Speaker 2: I'd be like, I've just spent the whole day clearing.
Speaker 1: Up wei and poo. Yeah, it's tough.
Speaker 2: And then it got to the point where the girls
Speaker 2: would at night you know how you do that, Like, yeah,
Speaker 2: we would go to bed, pick them up, put them
Speaker 2: on the toilet.
Speaker 1: They'd go for a week put them back.
Speaker 2: But then what I got really annoyed at is then
Speaker 2: the going back to them needing a wei in the
Speaker 2: night and then waking you up.
Speaker 1: So I ended up putting nappies.
Speaker 3: I was like, this is probably where my part with
Speaker 3: Leo comes from, is that I'm not saying I got lucky,
Speaker 3: but I put the hard yards in real like straight away.
Speaker 3: I was like, I'm not buying uppies for daytime. I'm
Speaker 3: not fucking wasting my money for night time. It's just
Speaker 3: got to happen, like it's just gotta So I tried
Speaker 3: everything Katie and and for me, I just got lucky
Speaker 3: and it worked right. My girls did the dream we
Speaker 3: at ten o'clock and then their bladders must be really
Speaker 3: good because then they just until the morning. And it
Speaker 3: was just it was one of those things. Got lucky
Speaker 3: and they say girls and boys different. Yeah, right, Leo's
Speaker 3: hanging out with me for the day. Everything's fine, mate,
Speaker 3: You got jocks on, Yes, I've got jocks on your
Speaker 3: h okay, great?
Speaker 4: Remember if you needed.
Speaker 3: To go to the toilet, like I can't tell you
Speaker 3: how many times I said it, If you need to
Speaker 3: get the toilet, tell me tell any h I'll help you.
Speaker 1: He goes yep, yep, yep.
Speaker 3: Anyway, and then I lost track of where he was
Speaker 3: for three seconds and he is in the bathroom, and
Speaker 3: I in my head go to like worst case scenario.
Speaker 3: I'm thinking shit on the wall because he closed the door. No,
Speaker 3: I don't need your help. And I was like, oh,
Speaker 3: yes you do, and like open the door, porkid and
Speaker 3: then opened the door and he was like he just
Speaker 3: did a We now at our house, we don't have steps,
Speaker 3: we don't have the small seat, we don't have like
Speaker 3: any of that stuff anymore. Yeah, And so I was like, oh,
Speaker 3: oh wow. I was like, good boy, Leo, this is
Speaker 3: so good.
Speaker 4: Oh my god.
Speaker 3: Not only did you remember and get the cue, you
Speaker 3: went to the toilet because I could see go on
Speaker 3: the toilet.
Speaker 4: I'm so excited.
Speaker 1: It's giving full sense of security vibe.
Speaker 4: Oh fuck.
Speaker 3: And anyway, day proceeds and everything was going swimmingly.
Speaker 4: We'd had lunch. You know, when you start thinking about.
Speaker 3: Their little you go like, there's a fair bit of
Speaker 3: food stacking up now. So anyway, Jay comes inside. Leo
Speaker 3: obviously just feels comfortable because Dad's here. All of a sudden,
Speaker 3: the little phantom. He just goes missing and then shits
Speaker 3: in his underwear.
Speaker 1: I don't know why they do that.
Speaker 3: This was after I'd also just praised him to the
Speaker 3: nth degree in front of him to his dad to go.
Speaker 4: LEO, tell dad what you did. Like he went off
Speaker 4: and he went to the bathroom.
Speaker 3: But yourself, you were so good, And he was like,
Speaker 3: I so good, Like he's so cute.
Speaker 2: I definitely had that too. It was like wee's were
Speaker 2: quite easy, but then poos.
Speaker 1: It's like for ages. It was doing it then and
Speaker 1: going off into corners.
Speaker 4: Just disappeared. But I'm not even joking, just disappear.
Speaker 2: Do you think it might be like traumatic for them
Speaker 2: to sit on a toilet and that to happen. Do
Speaker 2: you think it's easier for them to just be in
Speaker 2: their clothes?
Speaker 1: You know, nice?
Speaker 2: Warm?
Speaker 1: No one knows about it.
Speaker 3: I have no idea. I think he hasn't quite nailed
Speaker 3: the timing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but even this is going to be a weird analogy.
Speaker 1: But our cat.
Speaker 2: When he goes onto the lither tray, he looks like
Speaker 2: he's ashamed because I don't want to be watched.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, but isn't that funny?
Speaker 2: Like maybe there's some kind of like correlation here because
Speaker 2: the cat's obviously embarrassed. He looks embarrassed. Don't watch me,
Speaker 2: watch me, So maybe it's that I know.
Speaker 3: But then we fast forward and this is where I'm
Speaker 3: going to try and wrap it up for you, Katie,
Speaker 3: is I'm proceeding to walk my dog, which is where
Speaker 3: the other role of being a mum is like technically
Speaker 3: a mum to Rocco, and I'm walking the dogs, so buster.
Speaker 1: Usually pull yourself mom to your dogs.
Speaker 4: You know, I'm a mom to the dogs because I'll
Speaker 4: look after them.
Speaker 3: I still feed the fuckers the same as my kids,
Speaker 3: and I walk them every day.
Speaker 2: But do you say to the dogs like no, over,
Speaker 2: absolutely not.
Speaker 3: I do not refer to my dogs as a mum
Speaker 3: and dog relationship.
Speaker 1: Okay, mum and the suns.
Speaker 4: Anyway, it's just wrong. But here's part of our family.
Speaker 3: And so I'm walking him and I'm no where to
Speaker 3: a lie oblivious because he is the dog that I
Speaker 3: can literally have tucked into my shorts the lead and
Speaker 3: he won't go anywhere. He's just so blase a And
Speaker 3: then he I'm walking the dogs and everything's fun, and
Speaker 3: there this Ladys with me from behind. He goes, excuse me,
Speaker 3: and I turned around. I was like, yes, she's your
Speaker 3: dog is peeling on the footpath and I was like, thinking,
Speaker 3: how I haven't even stopped. I'll be walking and I
Speaker 3: turn around.
Speaker 4: I was like really, and she was like yeah, I
Speaker 4: just watched him, and I was like in my head,
Speaker 4: I was like, you're lucky. I'm not going to throw
Speaker 4: it at you. She's like, you better pick it up.
Speaker 3: Rocko, the phantom shitter has been shitting as we're walking.
Speaker 1: That would be so hard to do. I don't understand
Speaker 1: how he does.
Speaker 3: I'm not even joking Katie, like I didn't feel you know,
Speaker 3: you feel them stop if he's trying to like squat
Speaker 3: and dosh. So he's just been dropping nuggets all the
Speaker 3: way along this path. A lady is yelling at me
Speaker 3: it's six am, and I'm like, it's my responsibility.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna turn around and pick this up.
Speaker 3: Honestly, phantom shitters at the moment and just hanging out
Speaker 3: with me, I'm not keen with it. I don't want
Speaker 3: to pick up on my three and a half year
Speaker 3: old nephew's shits in his pants. I don't want to
Speaker 3: pick up my dog shit, which I do because people
Speaker 3: are so abusive.
Speaker 4: What is going on?
Speaker 1: Honestly, I don't know how he's just shits as you walk.
Speaker 4: I've been in the situation where it's weird.
Speaker 3: I don't know if it's a poodle thing, but he's
Speaker 3: like only on concrete kind of vibe.
Speaker 4: Anyway, I was.
Speaker 3: Walking across the pedestrian crossing, so cars stopped and I'm walking,
Speaker 3: and I'm you know, I get like fussy, like oh
Speaker 3: thank you, no thanks, thanks for stopping.
Speaker 4: And then I'm like going, what the fuck?
Speaker 3: And I turn around and I'm like literally skull dragging
Speaker 3: my dog while he's trying to take your ship on
Speaker 3: the pedestrian crossing. I was like, keep moving, these poor
Speaker 3: dogs getting dragged by its head, and everyone's.
Speaker 1: Watching you in their cars.
Speaker 3: They like probably more feeling sorry for the dog as
Speaker 3: I'm skull dragging and across the pedestrian crossing glasses trying
Speaker 3: to take like one.
Speaker 2: Of those situations where your kid is pushing over other
Speaker 2: kids in the playground and it gets to the point
Speaker 2: where you pretend you don't see it.
Speaker 3: It's street Walkerone seen them ship in the everyone saw.
Speaker 4: We're probably recording it.
Speaker 2: But then imagine it you then stopped to pick up
Speaker 2: up the pool on the road, and all the cars happened.
Speaker 1: To wait for you to do it.
Speaker 3: That was the thing.
Speaker 4: I didn't know what to fucking do it.
Speaker 1: I was like, if I'm getting abused by that, we'll
Speaker 1: imagine all the people in the cars.
Speaker 4: This bitch is not picking up and a dog shit
Speaker 4: on the Nestro crossing.
Speaker 1: What am I supposed to do?
Speaker 4: I can't even get one of those bags out quick
Speaker 4: enough
