00:00:05,921 --> 00:00:24,961
Speaker 1: Apod Shape Production. Welcome back to another episode of Am

2
00:00:25,001 --> 00:00:29,081
Speaker 1: I a Bad Mum Podcast? Are You Christmas Ready?

3
00:00:29,241 --> 00:00:30,641
Speaker 2: Absolutely not Christmas Ready.

4
00:00:31,161 --> 00:00:33,481
Speaker 3: I listened to our podcast where we were talking about

5
00:00:33,521 --> 00:00:36,321
Speaker 3: being Christmas ready, and I even got just like that

6
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:38,841
Speaker 3: little bit of anxious in my belly, going, you steal

7
00:00:39,641 --> 00:00:42,041
Speaker 3: not even trying to get Christmas ready.

8
00:00:42,161 --> 00:00:45,241
Speaker 1: When you buy one present and it's what you wanted

9
00:00:45,241 --> 00:00:46,961
Speaker 1: and it's the price you wanted and all the rest

10
00:00:46,961 --> 00:00:49,441
Speaker 1: of it, I feel like then you're on like kind

11
00:00:49,441 --> 00:00:51,321
Speaker 1: of a roll. But it's getting that first one done.

12
00:00:51,521 --> 00:00:53,200
Speaker 3: I keep making the mistake of like sort of just

13
00:00:53,241 --> 00:00:57,361
Speaker 3: popping into the shop popping out because you're just fitting

14
00:00:57,441 --> 00:01:00,641
Speaker 3: in when you can during the day, right when you

15
00:01:00,681 --> 00:01:03,441
Speaker 3: don't have others with you, and so it's usually like

16
00:01:03,961 --> 00:01:06,961
Speaker 3: at peak time when everyone else seems to be there.

17
00:01:07,281 --> 00:01:08,881
Speaker 2: I really need to change his shit up.

18
00:01:08,921 --> 00:01:10,961
Speaker 1: I saw the ladies though when I was in West

19
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:15,041
Speaker 1: the ladies that do the wrapping, and I was like, oh,

20
00:01:15,121 --> 00:01:17,601
Speaker 1: I could really, but I just don't want to go

21
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:18,721
Speaker 1: back in that shopping center.

22
00:01:18,801 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 3: No oh no, I think it's like a I think

23
00:01:21,961 --> 00:01:24,521
Speaker 3: it's like a do it as you're there, yeah kind

24
00:01:24,521 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 3: of vibe.

25
00:01:25,321 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 1: But the problem is is that I then forget what

26
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 1: I've got. I don't know what you're like with the kids.

27
00:01:30,961 --> 00:01:33,681
Speaker 1: I like to see it all, so I'm like, oh, yeah,

28
00:01:33,721 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: that all looks good, you know.

29
00:01:35,601 --> 00:01:37,161
Speaker 3: Because I think I was telling you I don't have

30
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,361
Speaker 3: the space or like the availability on the twenty fourth

31
00:01:40,521 --> 00:01:42,481
Speaker 3: this year to be able to just do my normal

32
00:01:43,081 --> 00:01:46,401
Speaker 3: wrap at midnight on the twenty fourth, Like, I don't

33
00:01:46,401 --> 00:01:48,641
Speaker 3: have that this year, So I really need to be

34
00:01:48,721 --> 00:01:50,961
Speaker 3: at least prepared prior to the twenty second.

35
00:01:51,201 --> 00:01:54,121
Speaker 1: That's stressful. I've been there and done wrapping on the

36
00:01:54,121 --> 00:01:57,761
Speaker 1: twenty fourth and then had a glass of wine and

37
00:01:57,841 --> 00:02:00,801
Speaker 1: then had another glass of wine, run out of wrapping

38
00:02:00,841 --> 00:02:02,601
Speaker 1: paper and all that kind.

39
00:02:02,441 --> 00:02:05,761
Speaker 2: Of stand run out of wine, and.

40
00:02:05,801 --> 00:02:08,761
Speaker 1: Then forget to write people's name on the presents. I

41
00:02:08,801 --> 00:02:10,321
Speaker 1: don't know what's food.

42
00:02:10,961 --> 00:02:14,761
Speaker 3: The figures or you see them like unwrap something, You're like, fuck,

43
00:02:14,841 --> 00:02:17,601
Speaker 3: that wasn't for you if you got that.

44
00:02:28,321 --> 00:02:31,561
Speaker 1: Am I a bad mom for being a bad influence?

45
00:02:32,081 --> 00:02:32,321
Speaker 2: Ah?

46
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,041
Speaker 3: Like this it is that time of year where we

47
00:02:36,081 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 3: can probably be a little bit more.

48
00:02:37,641 --> 00:02:39,321
Speaker 2: Of a bad influence to others.

49
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 1: So I went to Bunnings the other day, right, and

50
00:02:44,761 --> 00:02:48,641
Speaker 1: I bought a lamp that I didn't need because I

51
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:52,041
Speaker 1: don't yet have the table for the lamp to go on.

52
00:02:52,161 --> 00:02:54,081
Speaker 1: But I really liked the lamp. Jay looks at me

53
00:02:54,081 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 1: and goes, what are you gonna do with that? You've

54
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: got nowhere to put the lamp. I was like, yeah,

55
00:02:57,601 --> 00:03:00,241
Speaker 1: I know, but I will have someone put it. And

56
00:03:00,281 --> 00:03:03,401
Speaker 1: I really like the lamp anyway, Got it home, it's broken.

57
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:08,121
Speaker 1: It's just annnoying. Okay, fine, back to Bunnings we go.

58
00:03:08,401 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 1: Went back to Bunnings, swapped it for another one. Got

59
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:15,881
Speaker 1: it home, it's broken? What and the fact that I

60
00:03:15,921 --> 00:03:19,041
Speaker 1: didn't check the second one on the first one that

61
00:03:19,161 --> 00:03:20,321
Speaker 1: annoyed were broken?

62
00:03:21,721 --> 00:03:23,841
Speaker 2: Yeah, I had a glass.

63
00:03:23,841 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 1: Lamp shade and there were only two there, and obviously

64
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,361
Speaker 1: they'd been dropped, so yeah, they were both broken. Anyway.

65
00:03:33,121 --> 00:03:35,521
Speaker 1: I've then taken the second lamp back to the shop,

66
00:03:35,561 --> 00:03:39,481
Speaker 1: and as I'm lining up for the service desk, the

67
00:03:39,641 --> 00:03:44,841
Speaker 1: lady in front of me has a dead plant and

68
00:03:45,001 --> 00:03:50,121
Speaker 1: is returning it. I was like, sorry, I really watched

69
00:03:50,201 --> 00:03:53,081
Speaker 1: with interest because I was like, what's going to happen here?

70
00:03:53,521 --> 00:03:59,281
Speaker 1: She's literally got a pot plant completely dead? Yeah, and

71
00:03:59,441 --> 00:04:01,641
Speaker 1: she's taken it up to the counter.

72
00:04:02,161 --> 00:04:05,481
Speaker 2: And I'm watching yea, and she got a real fund

73
00:04:06,521 --> 00:04:07,761
Speaker 2: because she killed the plant.

74
00:04:08,041 --> 00:04:12,721
Speaker 1: Yes, so then she's then gone with her money. The

75
00:04:13,001 --> 00:04:17,001
Speaker 1: lady behind the counter's got the dead plant. She was

76
00:04:17,041 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 1: like next, And then I was next with my broken leg,

77
00:04:21,521 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: and I went, did that lady just return that dead plant?

78
00:04:25,281 --> 00:04:28,241
Speaker 1: She went yeah, she said, it's a policy, like, you've

79
00:04:28,241 --> 00:04:32,921
Speaker 1: got twelve months if you keep your receipt. I know, what,

80
00:04:33,201 --> 00:04:36,801
Speaker 1: howenty plants have you had in your life from Bunnings

81
00:04:37,081 --> 00:04:38,121
Speaker 1: that has died?

82
00:04:38,521 --> 00:04:38,681
Speaker 3: Yeah?

83
00:04:38,721 --> 00:04:41,401
Speaker 1: But and did you ever know you could?

84
00:04:41,601 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 2: No? No, no, no.

85
00:04:43,161 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 3: I find that just mind blowing because majority of the time,

86
00:04:47,681 --> 00:04:49,961
Speaker 3: I would say ninety eight percent of the time, it's

87
00:04:50,001 --> 00:04:53,481
Speaker 3: the user that has broken it, not anything else.

88
00:04:53,641 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 1: I said, I said, how do you know she just

89
00:04:55,481 --> 00:04:58,921
Speaker 1: didn't water it for a year? She went yeah, I know.

90
00:04:59,481 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: Obviously they can't police that.

91
00:05:00,801 --> 00:05:02,481
Speaker 2: They don't know. Gosh.

92
00:05:02,561 --> 00:05:05,081
Speaker 1: So then it got me thinking because I had a

93
00:05:07,361 --> 00:05:10,561
Speaker 1: lavender plant on the table outside.

94
00:05:10,801 --> 00:05:12,321
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's dead.

95
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,481
Speaker 1: And it's probably dead because I didn't order it.

96
00:05:14,561 --> 00:05:14,721
Speaker 3: Yeah.

97
00:05:14,721 --> 00:05:16,161
Speaker 2: I was like, I know why it's dead.

98
00:05:16,281 --> 00:05:18,281
Speaker 3: Number one, it's going to be in a ground and

99
00:05:18,401 --> 00:05:20,121
Speaker 3: number two, you've ordered it.

100
00:05:20,681 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I didn't keep the receipt, and I was

101
00:05:23,521 --> 00:05:25,921
Speaker 1: thinking to myself, Oh, that's annoying. Now I'm annoyed at

102
00:05:25,961 --> 00:05:28,241
Speaker 1: myself because I've got a plant and now I know

103
00:05:28,281 --> 00:05:30,681
Speaker 1: you can take those back to Bunnings. You're probably wondering

104
00:05:30,721 --> 00:05:33,681
Speaker 1: why this is am I a bad mum episode? But

105
00:05:33,761 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 1: then I've said in front of Holly, I went, you

106
00:05:36,561 --> 00:05:38,401
Speaker 1: know what I'm gonna do. I've got a great idea.

107
00:05:38,761 --> 00:05:42,001
Speaker 1: I've got a great idea. I'm going to go back

108
00:05:42,001 --> 00:05:45,721
Speaker 1: to Bunnings and I'm going to buy another lavender plant,

109
00:05:45,801 --> 00:05:47,601
Speaker 1: and I'm going to keep my receipt and I'm going

110
00:05:47,641 --> 00:05:49,001
Speaker 1: to wait a couple of weeks and I'm going to

111
00:05:49,041 --> 00:05:50,121
Speaker 1: take the dead one back.

112
00:05:51,961 --> 00:05:52,401
Speaker 2: Back.

113
00:05:53,281 --> 00:05:54,681
Speaker 1: And she looked at me.

114
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,801
Speaker 2: What'd she say? You can't do that? I think, yeah,

115
00:05:58,801 --> 00:05:59,281
Speaker 2: I can.

116
00:05:59,681 --> 00:06:01,921
Speaker 1: She went, that's not the right thing to do. I

117
00:06:01,961 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: was like, and I'm arguing with her, and I'm like,

118
00:06:05,081 --> 00:06:08,361
Speaker 1: oh god, I'm a really bad one right now. That's

119
00:06:08,401 --> 00:06:14,081
Speaker 1: technically and I'm teaching her and I'm arguing with her.

120
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 1: I can't absolutely know that is my right. The amount

121
00:06:17,201 --> 00:06:20,041
Speaker 1: of plants I've brought from Bunnings over the years that

122
00:06:20,161 --> 00:06:22,281
Speaker 1: have died, and I have never once taken them back

123
00:06:22,281 --> 00:06:23,121
Speaker 1: and got my money back.

124
00:06:23,201 --> 00:06:24,001
Speaker 2: Yeah, but no one knows.

125
00:06:24,081 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 3: I was like, well, I mean, now they do listening

126
00:06:26,081 --> 00:06:28,161
Speaker 3: to this. But at the same time, do you really

127
00:06:28,241 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 3: keep receipts for plants? Did the lady in front of

128
00:06:31,081 --> 00:06:33,041
Speaker 3: you returning it have her receipt?

129
00:06:33,241 --> 00:06:34,721
Speaker 2: Yeah, you have to.

130
00:06:34,721 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 1: Have your receipt where you brought it from. But my

131
00:06:38,041 --> 00:06:41,481
Speaker 1: thing is is that so I was really excited by

132
00:06:41,481 --> 00:06:44,481
Speaker 1: this idea. I was like, yeah, I deserve to get it.

133
00:06:44,561 --> 00:06:47,401
Speaker 2: I deserve my money back for killing that plant. I

134
00:06:47,481 --> 00:06:49,041
Speaker 2: deserve it because.

135
00:06:48,841 --> 00:06:51,241
Speaker 1: The amount of plants great. I bought a lemon tree.

136
00:06:51,641 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: I bought it as a lemon tree. It's not a

137
00:06:53,401 --> 00:06:55,721
Speaker 1: fucking lemon tree. I don't know what that fruit is,

138
00:06:56,001 --> 00:06:59,081
Speaker 1: but it is not lemons, and it takes it to

139
00:06:59,161 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 1: disgusting the yellow and round, so like yellow limes that

140
00:07:04,041 --> 00:07:07,041
Speaker 1: aren't limes that also aren't lemons, and they have a

141
00:07:07,081 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 1: really bitter taste.

142
00:07:08,201 --> 00:07:09,521
Speaker 2: Did you buy a lemonade tree?

143
00:07:09,761 --> 00:07:11,761
Speaker 1: No, I bought a lemon tree. It said it was

144
00:07:11,761 --> 00:07:14,321
Speaker 1: a lemon Tree's technically it was Bunnings's fault that I've

145
00:07:14,321 --> 00:07:15,561
Speaker 1: got this faulty.

146
00:07:16,001 --> 00:07:18,961
Speaker 2: No, you can't take that back. You don't have at you.

147
00:07:19,281 --> 00:07:21,521
Speaker 1: No, I don't have the receipt. But what I'm saying

148
00:07:21,641 --> 00:07:24,881
Speaker 1: is there are enough times where.

149
00:07:24,841 --> 00:07:27,201
Speaker 3: Next you're going to go and buy another one of those,

150
00:07:27,681 --> 00:07:30,161
Speaker 3: take the other one back and give that back to them,

151
00:07:30,201 --> 00:07:30,841
Speaker 3: get her a set.

152
00:07:30,881 --> 00:07:33,241
Speaker 2: You're just going to like, you're just trying to it's

153
00:07:33,281 --> 00:07:35,761
Speaker 2: a great time to update all your plants that you've killed.

154
00:07:38,121 --> 00:07:40,601
Speaker 1: And then I kind of thought to myself, as I

155
00:07:40,641 --> 00:07:43,081
Speaker 1: was arguing with Holly about it being the right thing

156
00:07:43,121 --> 00:07:46,281
Speaker 1: to do, and she's telling me, absolutely correctly, that's the

157
00:07:46,321 --> 00:07:50,881
Speaker 1: wrong thing to do. I'm sitting there thinking, do I

158
00:07:50,961 --> 00:07:54,121
Speaker 1: want to be the person that lines up with the

159
00:07:54,161 --> 00:07:56,921
Speaker 1: dead plant to get my seven dollars back?

160
00:07:59,801 --> 00:08:04,321
Speaker 3: My next question was exactly that, I reckon, you'll get there,

161
00:08:05,161 --> 00:08:08,001
Speaker 3: You'll decide, you'll send the kids in with the.

162
00:08:08,001 --> 00:08:11,361
Speaker 2: Receipt and the plan and go, you go and do it. No,

163
00:08:11,561 --> 00:08:13,201
Speaker 2: you have to do it. Just get a real fun.

164
00:08:13,281 --> 00:08:18,401
Speaker 3: For me, seven dollars is not even worth your petrol,

165
00:08:18,721 --> 00:08:19,521
Speaker 3: your time.

166
00:08:20,401 --> 00:08:23,201
Speaker 1: It was like that feeling I get at a breakfast

167
00:08:23,241 --> 00:08:27,321
Speaker 1: buffet where it's like you go on holiday, you do

168
00:08:27,401 --> 00:08:31,161
Speaker 1: the breakfast buffet. I'll have eggs, everything in the bacon.

169
00:08:31,881 --> 00:08:34,841
Speaker 1: Then I'll go on to the cheese and the cold meats,

170
00:08:35,161 --> 00:08:39,481
Speaker 1: and then I'll have the curry and the because I'm like,

171
00:08:39,841 --> 00:08:41,361
Speaker 1: I've paid for this breakfast buffet.

172
00:08:41,481 --> 00:08:43,281
Speaker 2: Yeah, I am eating everything. Yeah.

173
00:08:43,401 --> 00:08:46,601
Speaker 3: I think breakfast buffets are great for people that genuinely

174
00:08:47,081 --> 00:08:52,001
Speaker 3: really enjoy eating breakfast, because I find breakfast buffets for

175
00:08:52,041 --> 00:08:54,001
Speaker 3: me just such a waste of money because I get

176
00:08:54,081 --> 00:08:55,681
Speaker 3: in there, it's so overwhelmed.

177
00:08:56,121 --> 00:08:59,281
Speaker 2: Then my body goes, you don't even eat breakfast half.

178
00:08:59,081 --> 00:09:01,361
Speaker 3: The time, So what are you doing trying to shovel

179
00:09:01,441 --> 00:09:04,561
Speaker 3: all of this food in and then fit a mimosa

180
00:09:04,641 --> 00:09:05,681
Speaker 3: on top of you?

181
00:09:05,761 --> 00:09:06,721
Speaker 2: Just need to slow down.
