<v Speaker 1>Am I A Bad Mom? Podcasts?

0:00:27.081 --> 0:00:30.761
<v Speaker 2>We muddle through parenting because there's no real well there

0:00:30.801 --> 0:00:31.361
<v Speaker 2>are books.

<v Speaker 3>books that say how to be a mom? Yeah, raising girls,

0:00:37.361 --> 0:00:38.201
<v Speaker 3>raising boys.

0:00:38.480 --> 0:00:41.201
<v Speaker 2>It blows my mind that if you think about driving,

0:00:41.321 --> 0:00:43.641
<v Speaker 2>for example, like you have to have a license, you

0:00:43.721 --> 0:00:45.961
<v Speaker 2>have to have done lessons, you have to have passed

0:00:46.001 --> 0:00:46.481
<v Speaker 2>your test.

0:00:46.881 --> 0:00:49.120
<v Speaker 1>Like, don't you think I just have to do kids

0:00:49.120 --> 0:00:49.601
<v Speaker 1>to anyone?

0:00:49.760 --> 0:00:49.961
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:00:50.200 --> 0:00:52.281
<v Speaker 1>Kids just willy nilly, Yeah, I'm.

0:00:52.200 --> 0:00:54.481
<v Speaker 3>Gonna have a child. You don't even know what you're doing.

0:00:55.200 --> 0:00:57.840
<v Speaker 3>That's the thing though, you just don't think. No, this

0:00:57.961 --> 0:01:00.801
<v Speaker 3>is a natural instinct I you that comes out that

0:01:00.840 --> 0:01:01.721
<v Speaker 3>says I want to be a.

0:01:01.761 --> 0:01:05.441
<v Speaker 1>Mom yeah, or a dad yeah, And it's just change

0:01:05.441 --> 0:01:21.161
<v Speaker 1>your mind. Not really. I love my kids. I love them.

0:01:21.360 --> 0:01:24.961
<v Speaker 2>Am I a bad mum for telling a little white lie?

0:01:25.401 --> 0:01:25.920
<v Speaker 1>Not at all?

0:01:26.161 --> 0:01:30.200
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So Holly is the kid that is not really

0:01:30.241 --> 0:01:34.560
<v Speaker 2>scared of much, right, So she will pick up spiders,

0:01:35.280 --> 0:01:38.601
<v Speaker 2>she will kill ants. I'm allergic to green ants, as

0:01:38.640 --> 0:01:41.241
<v Speaker 2>we know. She just squashes them with their finger. I'm like, oh,

0:01:41.640 --> 0:01:42.720
<v Speaker 2>whether you're allergic or not.

0:01:42.761 --> 0:01:43.761
<v Speaker 1>They're really painful.

0:01:43.801 --> 0:01:43.961
<v Speaker 3>It.

0:01:44.041 --> 0:01:47.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, she doesn't care about anything like that. It wouldn't

0:01:47.161 --> 0:01:49.681
<v Speaker 2>FaZe her. If she saw a snake like nothing like that.

0:01:49.721 --> 0:01:51.561
<v Speaker 2>She will swim in the ocean. Doesn't even think about

0:01:51.601 --> 0:01:56.121
<v Speaker 2>sharks like that. Stuff doesn't bother her at all. There's

0:01:56.121 --> 0:01:59.160
<v Speaker 2>one thing that she has always hated and still hates

0:01:59.201 --> 0:02:04.961
<v Speaker 2>to this day, and that's a gecko. She absolutely hates gecko.

0:02:05.161 --> 0:02:07.601
<v Speaker 1>Who's geckos? I see through a lizard.

0:02:08.041 --> 0:02:09.001
<v Speaker 2>I love them.

0:02:10.481 --> 0:02:13.081
<v Speaker 1>Harmless. They are not even gonna like. They don't want

0:02:13.121 --> 0:02:14.161
<v Speaker 1>anything to do with you.

0:02:14.441 --> 0:02:15.960
<v Speaker 2>They're harmless unless you eat them.

0:02:16.240 --> 0:02:17.161
<v Speaker 1>You're eating geko.

0:02:17.281 --> 0:02:19.961
<v Speaker 2>No, No, this is an actual story. This actually happened.

0:02:20.041 --> 0:02:23.601
<v Speaker 2>I'm pretty sure it was definitely in Australia. Yeah, there

0:02:23.680 --> 0:02:26.601
<v Speaker 2>was a guy so we're going off talking, but there

0:02:26.680 --> 0:02:29.881
<v Speaker 2>was a guy who they had like a kid's birthday

0:02:29.881 --> 0:02:32.041
<v Speaker 2>party or something, and the kids were like messing around,

0:02:32.081 --> 0:02:34.881
<v Speaker 2>like daring each other to eat a gecko for whatever reason,

0:02:34.881 --> 0:02:39.161
<v Speaker 2>they were kids, And for some unknown reason, the dad

0:02:39.240 --> 0:02:43.801
<v Speaker 2>stepped in and went a ate the gecko. He died

0:02:44.641 --> 0:02:49.400
<v Speaker 2>from what he died, No, because they're so full of disease.

0:02:50.201 --> 0:02:54.561
<v Speaker 3>He died, well, he took a hit for the kids. Luckily,

0:02:55.761 --> 0:02:58.881
<v Speaker 3>I want to talk about that particular birthday party. If

0:02:58.921 --> 0:03:01.161
<v Speaker 3>your kids are sitting around fucking daring each other to

0:03:01.201 --> 0:03:03.201
<v Speaker 3>eat geckos, we need to talk about your kind of

0:03:03.201 --> 0:03:03.800
<v Speaker 3>birthday party.

0:03:04.001 --> 0:03:06.481
<v Speaker 1>A physician, I was like, I can.

0:03:06.441 --> 0:03:08.961
<v Speaker 3>Come up with a few different party tricks to not

0:03:09.121 --> 0:03:10.240
<v Speaker 3>have them eating geckos.

0:03:10.561 --> 0:03:11.201

<v Speaker 1>No.

0:03:16.800 --> 0:03:19.481
<v Speaker 2>She had one in their bedroom right and it was little.

0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:24.201
<v Speaker 2>It was like a baby gecko and she just started screaming,

0:03:24.240 --> 0:03:27.921
<v Speaker 2>there a ge go in my room. It's bedtime. At

0:03:27.921 --> 0:03:30.720
<v Speaker 2>that point, I just go to sleep. I've gone in

0:03:31.081 --> 0:03:36.361
<v Speaker 2>and quiet this geko. Like, honestly, it's so fast, like

0:03:36.481 --> 0:03:39.001
<v Speaker 2>I'm chasing this gecko around the room, like she stood

0:03:39.161 --> 0:03:42.041
<v Speaker 2>outside the door. It's then gone behind them. I'm like,

0:03:42.201 --> 0:03:45.321
<v Speaker 2>I'm never getting this geko reach, Like it's so fast,

0:03:45.401 --> 0:03:48.801

<v Speaker 2>I've gone got it. I'm going to go and let

0:03:56.001 --> 0:03:58.721
<v Speaker 2>it out in the garden. So I've walked down and

0:03:58.761 --> 0:04:05.481
<v Speaker 2>I've let it out in my hands and I'm like,

0:04:05.561 --> 0:04:09.881
<v Speaker 2>oh good, Like the gecko's gone happy. If you go

0:04:09.961 --> 0:04:11.241
<v Speaker 2>to bed she's gone to bed.

0:04:11.681 --> 0:04:12.361
<v Speaker 1>We're all good.

0:04:13.081 --> 0:04:18.080
<v Speaker 2>Two nights later, h she comes screaming out of the room.

0:04:18.721 --> 0:04:20.801
<v Speaker 1>They ain't Gecko in my bed.

0:04:23.521 --> 0:04:26.801
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, that's the same fucking Gekko. That's the same one,

0:04:27.201 --> 0:04:30.681
<v Speaker 2>the same size, looks the same. It's inner bed. I

0:04:30.721 --> 0:04:33.760
<v Speaker 2>was like, Okay, I'll get it, don't worry. She's outside

0:04:33.761 --> 0:04:36.961
<v Speaker 2>the room. She's like hyperventilating my cup. Believe it in

0:04:37.001 --> 0:04:39.481
<v Speaker 2>my bed? It was touching me.

0:04:39.961 --> 0:04:41.320
<v Speaker 1>How long has it been in there?

0:04:42.121 --> 0:04:46.080
<v Speaker 2>And I've actually been able to catch it, truthfully catch

0:04:46.121 --> 0:04:48.361
<v Speaker 2>it and I've got it in my hands, and I'm like,

0:04:48.361 --> 0:04:50.241
<v Speaker 2>I've gone over to it. And because I'm telling the

0:04:50.281 --> 0:04:53.361
<v Speaker 2>truth this time, I'm like, look, have a look in here, Geko,

0:04:53.601 --> 0:04:54.361
<v Speaker 2>you can see it.

0:04:54.401 --> 0:04:55.001
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to go and.

0:04:55.041 --> 0:04:58.401
<v Speaker 2>Let it outside. I've gone and let it outside, and

0:04:58.401 --> 0:05:00.320
<v Speaker 2>we're all good apart from she's thinking.

0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:00.640
<v Speaker 1>Now.

0:05:00.721 --> 0:05:04.441
<v Speaker 2>She's thinking and thinking and it's going over and ticking

0:05:04.481 --> 0:05:07.601
<v Speaker 2>over and mind and she's turned to me and she's gone,

0:05:08.121 --> 0:05:11.481
<v Speaker 2>you didn't catch it the other day, did you? I

0:05:11.521 --> 0:05:16.281
<v Speaker 2>think you pretended to get it and then you told

0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:20.161
<v Speaker 2>me you'd got it. You went downstairs, you let it

0:05:20.201 --> 0:05:22.481
<v Speaker 2>out in the garden. But there was nothing there to

0:05:22.561 --> 0:05:24.841
<v Speaker 2>let out, and you left it in my room and

0:05:24.880 --> 0:05:26.481
<v Speaker 2>you didn't tell me, and then it ended up in

0:05:26.521 --> 0:05:30.440
<v Speaker 2>my bed. I was like, that's exactly what happened.

0:05:32.961 --> 0:05:34.561
<v Speaker 1>That's exactly what happened.

0:05:34.641 --> 0:05:37.640
<v Speaker 3>Yes, yeah, because I wanted you to go to bed.

0:05:37.801 --> 0:05:39.721
<v Speaker 3>You've got nothing, You've got nothing to come back on.

0:05:39.761 --> 0:05:41.521
<v Speaker 3>It's not like you're saying no, I didn't do it.

0:05:41.681 --> 0:05:44.601
<v Speaker 2>No, You're never gonna believe me ever again. And she

0:05:44.721 --> 0:05:46.801
<v Speaker 2>even said to me, she said, I asked you to

0:05:46.841 --> 0:05:48.761
<v Speaker 2>swear on your life. And I was like, yeah, but

0:05:48.961 --> 0:05:51.761
<v Speaker 2>swearing on your life, it's horrible, like I do that. No,

0:05:51.961 --> 0:05:52.921
<v Speaker 2>I'm telling the truth.

0:05:53.081 --> 0:05:56.001
<v Speaker 3>I'm telling the truth now like you saw it. It

0:05:56.041 --> 0:05:58.161
<v Speaker 3>was there, But I'm not swearing on anyone's life.

0:05:58.481 --> 0:06:00.640
<v Speaker 1>It's bad. And I didn't swear on anyone's life the

0:06:00.641 --> 0:06:04.400
<v Speaker 1>other night. So that's your fault. That's on you. That

0:06:04.521 --> 0:06:10.201
<v Speaker 1>was your story. You heard that, not me. Oh my gosh, that.

0:06:10.201 --> 0:06:13.961
<v Speaker 3>Is so good, because I genuinely just to wrap up

0:06:14.121 --> 0:06:16.641
<v Speaker 3>in Africa, Gracie literally said to me.

0:06:16.721 --> 0:06:18.721
<v Speaker 1>Mam, there's Geko on my bed. Mom, and I.

0:06:18.681 --> 0:06:21.241
<v Speaker 3>Had again the face through the net. Momm I just

0:06:21.481 --> 0:06:23.281
<v Speaker 3>had to get home in bed the geko was on

0:06:23.320 --> 0:06:25.721
<v Speaker 3>my leg. I was like thinking in my head, is

0:06:25.761 --> 0:06:28.960
<v Speaker 3>it a gecko? Like, why would a gecko climb underneath

0:06:29.001 --> 0:06:30.440
<v Speaker 3>the sheet, underneath.

0:06:29.961 --> 0:06:31.601
<v Speaker 1>The douvet run over your legs.

0:06:31.681 --> 0:06:34.041
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. I had to then prove a point because it

0:06:34.121 --> 0:06:36.241
<v Speaker 3>was like three o'clock in the morning, it was on

0:06:36.281 --> 0:06:36.881
<v Speaker 3>the second night.

0:06:36.921 --> 0:06:39.361
<v Speaker 1>We'd only been there two nights. And then I literally

0:06:39.440 --> 0:06:41.320
<v Speaker 1>pulled it back in. There was his baby geko, and

0:06:41.361 --> 0:06:44.400
<v Speaker 1>I was like, thank god it wasn't a scorpion or something.

0:06:44.481 --> 0:06:46.440
<v Speaker 2>Do you know what I reckon because I have never

0:06:46.521 --> 0:06:48.801
<v Speaker 2>in my life ever I like geckos, and I have

0:06:49.001 --> 0:06:51.121
<v Speaker 2>never had a gecko in my bed ever in my life,

0:06:51.361 --> 0:06:54.081
<v Speaker 2>nor have I known anyone to have a geko yeah

0:06:54.081 --> 0:06:57.001
<v Speaker 2>in there, But I reckon. They can tell that she

0:06:57.081 --> 0:06:58.801
<v Speaker 2>didn't like them. You don't know how they say, like

0:06:58.961 --> 0:07:03.200
<v Speaker 2>horses can smell your fear, and dogs.

0:07:02.841 --> 0:07:04.721
<v Speaker 1>And some cats don't like people.

0:07:05.401 --> 0:07:08.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, cats like people that don't like them. So the people,

0:07:08.721 --> 0:07:10.401
<v Speaker 3>you know, people that walk in and go, oh my sorry,

0:07:10.481 --> 0:07:13.401
<v Speaker 3>I don't do cats, and you're like okay, yeah, and

0:07:13.441 --> 0:07:17.401
<v Speaker 3>then they just like gravitate to that person like magnetic force.

0:07:17.721 --> 0:07:21.241
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well my cat Nala, you know, she doesn't like anyone.

0:07:21.361 --> 0:07:24.401
<v Speaker 2>She doesn't like the world like you. Arches her back,

0:07:24.521 --> 0:07:27.281
<v Speaker 2>like fuck off. She doesn't like anyone.

0:07:27.401 --> 0:07:27.601
<v Speaker 1>You know.

0:07:27.641 --> 0:07:31.401
<v Speaker 2>The only person she likes my dad, who's like really allergic.

0:07:32.081 --> 0:07:33.441
<v Speaker 1>He's the only person she.

0:07:33.441 --> 0:07:35.801
<v Speaker 2>Will go and jump and still on his lap. I'm like, who,

0:07:35.881 --> 0:07:39.161
<v Speaker 2>even Ei Nala, you don't sit on anyone's lap. Dad's like,

<v Speaker 3>Not only did you try and kill him falling over

0:07:45.441 --> 0:07:48.241
<v Speaker 3>the back of the boat, also trying to kill him

0:07:48.241 --> 0:07:48.921
<v Speaker 3>with your cat.

0:07:49.841 --> 0:07:54.561
<v Speaker 1>He's never coming back to Australia. Breathe, Sorry, Dad,
