<v Speaker 1>Appoge Production.

0:00:22.841 --> 0:00:25.561
<v Speaker 2>Welcome back to another episode about I a Bad Mom

0:00:25.921 --> 0:00:29.201
<v Speaker 2>podcast or on Instagram? Two Am I a bad mum?

0:00:29.561 --> 0:00:31.281
<v Speaker 2>You always look at me at the start of the episode, like,

0:00:31.361 --> 0:00:32.121
<v Speaker 2>what's she gonna say?

0:00:32.161 --> 0:00:33.040
<v Speaker 1>Where's she going with this?

0:00:33.400 --> 0:00:37.641
<v Speaker 3>I had such a bad mom morning this morning. This

0:00:37.721 --> 0:00:41.121
<v Speaker 3>morning's chaos was purely because of me. My alarm went

0:00:41.161 --> 0:00:45.481
<v Speaker 3>off at the gym at four point thirty rough right, yeah.

0:00:45.241 --> 0:00:47.961
<v Speaker 1>And it window it's so cold right now.

0:00:48.040 --> 0:00:51.281
<v Speaker 3>And I flicked what I thought was my gym alarm

0:00:51.921 --> 0:00:54.321
<v Speaker 3>off because I set two of them, so the first

0:00:54.361 --> 0:00:57.200
<v Speaker 3>one goes off automatically. I pressed stop, and then in

0:00:57.241 --> 0:00:59.281
<v Speaker 3>my head, I thought I picked my phone up and

0:00:59.321 --> 0:01:04.481
<v Speaker 3>turned off my four point thirty five alarm, which is

0:01:04.481 --> 0:01:06.521
<v Speaker 3>my second one, but I didn't. I turned off my

0:01:07.041 --> 0:01:09.840
<v Speaker 3>third alarm, which is like the six fifteen, enough time

0:01:09.881 --> 0:01:11.720
<v Speaker 3>to get up and get ready and then get Gracie

0:01:11.761 --> 0:01:14.281
<v Speaker 3>off to school and all of that stuff. But obviously

0:01:14.401 --> 0:01:17.521
<v Speaker 3>I was asleep and I just flicked off the six fifteen,

0:01:18.041 --> 0:01:20.521
<v Speaker 3>and then the second gym one obviously went but I

0:01:20.560 --> 0:01:23.161
<v Speaker 3>didn't sort of half even work that out, so I'd

0:01:23.161 --> 0:01:26.121
<v Speaker 3>pressed stop on that one obviously, and then nothing went

0:01:26.121 --> 0:01:28.560
<v Speaker 3>off at six point fifteen, So then I don't know,

0:01:28.601 --> 0:01:31.241
<v Speaker 3>by chance my body's like woken me up. It's six

0:01:31.521 --> 0:01:35.440
<v Speaker 3>twenty five. I have to have Gracie out of the

0:01:35.481 --> 0:01:37.601
<v Speaker 3>door in twenty minutes.

0:01:37.721 --> 0:01:40.081
<v Speaker 2>Oh to get planned to get up at four thirty.

0:01:40.360 --> 0:01:42.241
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it was like I planned to get up at

0:01:42.280 --> 0:01:44.881
<v Speaker 3>four thirty and then and then four thirty five my

0:01:44.920 --> 0:01:47.561
<v Speaker 3>alarm went off again. I'd obviously just press stop on that,

0:01:47.601 --> 0:01:50.041
<v Speaker 3>but then I'd picked my phone up thinking that I'd

0:01:50.041 --> 0:01:52.681
<v Speaker 3>turned off my gym alarm when it was and it

0:01:52.761 --> 0:01:53.881
<v Speaker 3>was my get up.

0:01:53.921 --> 0:01:55.561
<v Speaker 1>You have to go alarm.

0:01:55.961 --> 0:01:57.681
<v Speaker 3>I don't tend to be like this all year, but

0:01:57.761 --> 0:02:00.160
<v Speaker 3>as soon as I get into winter, I'm a fucking

0:02:00.321 --> 0:02:01.481
<v Speaker 3>hot mess.

0:02:01.681 --> 0:02:05.520
<v Speaker 1>I hate being old mans. I hate yeah, cold mess.

0:02:05.561 --> 0:02:06.401
<v Speaker 1>I hate being cold.

0:02:06.521 --> 0:02:11.321
<v Speaker 3>This morning, twenty minutes in order to get her a

0:02:11.641 --> 0:02:16.361
<v Speaker 3>even out of bed, be dressed and operating, and then

0:02:16.441 --> 0:02:20.041
<v Speaker 3>in that same time get myself dressed and operating, do

0:02:20.201 --> 0:02:23.281
<v Speaker 3>little lunch boxes for her, and then also get her

0:02:23.321 --> 0:02:25.961
<v Speaker 3>cereal in a takeaway bowl so she can eat in

0:02:26.001 --> 0:02:27.601
<v Speaker 3>the time frame in the car.

0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:31.481
<v Speaker 2>Hell, yeah, crazy, twenty minute. Let me get so twenty minutes.

0:02:31.520 --> 0:02:34.481
<v Speaker 2>So when I think about my girls, eighteen minutes of

0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:36.361
<v Speaker 2>that is get out of bed, Get out of bed,

0:02:36.481 --> 0:02:39.161
<v Speaker 2>get out of bed exactly, and then you've got like,

0:02:39.800 --> 0:02:43.441
<v Speaker 2>hurry up, choose in hand, breakfast in hand.

0:02:44.441 --> 0:02:47.841
<v Speaker 3>At one stage, Katie, I looked at her and said.

0:02:47.721 --> 0:02:50.881
<v Speaker 2>Eat this cereal put in your mouth.

0:02:50.921 --> 0:02:53.201
<v Speaker 3>I'm trying to drive the car. I feel sorry for

0:02:53.240 --> 0:02:54.761
<v Speaker 3>it because I'm just bugging.

0:02:54.561 --> 0:02:56.561
<v Speaker 1>Stundar twenty minutes ago.

0:02:56.800 --> 0:03:00.881
<v Speaker 2>One eye opened having to shuffle cereal down.

0:03:10.001 --> 0:03:14.281
<v Speaker 1>Am I a bad mum for mixing shit up?

0:03:15.561 --> 0:03:19.561
<v Speaker 3>I know it's actually just a little fun reflective moment.

0:03:19.641 --> 0:03:22.961
<v Speaker 3>But Katie, this is so different to what I have

0:03:23.081 --> 0:03:25.081
<v Speaker 3>ever done. And I don't actually even know why I

0:03:25.121 --> 0:03:27.841
<v Speaker 3>did it. I think because I walked past something in

0:03:27.881 --> 0:03:30.961
<v Speaker 3>the Ida. I was getting stuff on the way home,

0:03:31.641 --> 0:03:33.881
<v Speaker 3>and I had to get a couple of things for dinner,

0:03:33.921 --> 0:03:36.561
<v Speaker 3>and I was walking through Ida, our local Ida, which

0:03:36.601 --> 0:03:37.881
<v Speaker 3>is highly overpriced.

0:03:38.441 --> 0:03:40.481
<v Speaker 1>Just needed to add that in just made me feel better.

0:03:40.801 --> 0:03:43.321
<v Speaker 1>And I just genuinely.

0:03:43.041 --> 0:03:47.441
<v Speaker 3>Was walking about Sistan and all of these DIY slime.

0:03:47.121 --> 0:03:51.161
<v Speaker 1>Kits were reduced for half price. Slime Don't worry.

0:03:51.241 --> 0:03:54.041
<v Speaker 3>I paid fucking overs for everything else but the slime

0:03:54.121 --> 0:03:57.721
<v Speaker 3>kids for half price. But it looked really creative, and

0:03:57.761 --> 0:03:59.241
<v Speaker 3>I thought I would just get one for each of

0:03:59.241 --> 0:04:02.041
<v Speaker 3>the girls, right number one hate slime.

0:04:01.961 --> 0:04:04.441
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that shit goes on your carpet, Elsie.

0:04:04.441 --> 0:04:05.721
<v Speaker 1>You didn't even really budget it.

0:04:05.761 --> 0:04:07.041
<v Speaker 3>So I took it home and I went, oh, so

0:04:07.081 --> 0:04:10.561
<v Speaker 3>I got you something, an IgA, and I'm excited about it.

0:04:10.761 --> 0:04:11.361
<v Speaker 1>Can I have a look.

0:04:11.441 --> 0:04:13.521
<v Speaker 3>She came out and she goes, oh, slime kid, thanks, mum,

0:04:13.601 --> 0:04:15.160
<v Speaker 3>walked straight back into the TV room.

0:04:15.281 --> 0:04:17.801
<v Speaker 1>Oh, and I think I was like waiting for a

0:04:17.841 --> 0:04:21.841
<v Speaker 1>reaction where she was really excited. Yeah, anyway, let's fast forward.

0:04:22.081 --> 0:04:25.121
<v Speaker 3>She sat down, we ate dinner, that was all well

0:04:25.161 --> 0:04:27.321
<v Speaker 3>and good, and then she goes, I think I might

0:04:27.361 --> 0:04:28.681
<v Speaker 3>get my slime kit out.

0:04:28.721 --> 0:04:30.721
<v Speaker 1>Is that okay? And I was like, yeah, for sure,

0:04:30.841 --> 0:04:31.481
<v Speaker 1>that's great.

0:04:31.921 --> 0:04:34.320
<v Speaker 3>I'm definitely gonna video it, you know, like what I'm

0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:35.681
<v Speaker 3>like with screen time?

0:04:36.320 --> 0:04:38.841
<v Speaker 1>I was like, why like.

0:04:38.801 --> 0:04:40.601
<v Speaker 2>A haul like of what she's got.

0:04:40.721 --> 0:04:42.921
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's like a hal or like an unboxing or

0:04:42.961 --> 0:04:47.041
<v Speaker 3>an anyway, instead of me doing what I normally do,

0:04:47.081 --> 0:04:49.001
<v Speaker 3>which is absolutely not put the screen down and you

0:04:49.001 --> 0:04:50.880
<v Speaker 3>do not need it, just sit there and be in

0:04:50.921 --> 0:04:53.281
<v Speaker 3>the moment, enjoy the slime kit for you, Like, who

0:04:53.320 --> 0:04:54.761
<v Speaker 3>are going to send it to? You're not putting up

0:04:54.761 --> 0:04:57.960
<v Speaker 3>on your YouTube channel, you don't have one anyway. Instead

0:04:58.041 --> 0:05:00.041
<v Speaker 3>I was just like, yeah, sure, go for gold. And

0:05:00.121 --> 0:05:03.160
<v Speaker 3>she sat there no way to lie for the next

0:05:03.281 --> 0:05:06.440
<v Speaker 3>hour at different times like doing this screen stuff, but

0:05:06.521 --> 0:05:09.601
<v Speaker 3>like actually enjoying the whole process, but not only that,

0:05:09.681 --> 0:05:13.960
<v Speaker 3>then relaying step by step what she was doing. So

0:05:14.041 --> 0:05:17.121
<v Speaker 3>it was really interesting to see Amy drop my guard

0:05:17.201 --> 0:05:20.041
<v Speaker 3>to allow her that. But she's doing it all in

0:05:20.041 --> 0:05:22.200
<v Speaker 3>front of me, so it's not going anywhere, it's not

0:05:22.201 --> 0:05:24.721
<v Speaker 3>being sent anywhere, it's not being shown anywhere. But for

0:05:24.801 --> 0:05:27.400
<v Speaker 3>her it was something completely new. But it was just

0:05:27.521 --> 0:05:31.361
<v Speaker 3>really interesting to watch that creative sort of flow.

0:05:31.201 --> 0:05:32.041
<v Speaker 1>Happen for her.

0:05:32.841 --> 0:05:35.401
<v Speaker 3>My reflection as a parent was I loosened the string

0:05:35.440 --> 0:05:38.320
<v Speaker 3>a little bit. They sat there for way longer than

0:05:38.361 --> 0:05:41.721
<v Speaker 3>what they normally would, and instead of watching TV, they

0:05:41.761 --> 0:05:44.841
<v Speaker 3>sort of did that, played with this slime, designed all

0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:47.161
<v Speaker 3>this stuff like creative. But then right at the end,

0:05:47.201 --> 0:05:49.640
<v Speaker 3>once you've major masterpiece, you squish it up and it's slim.

0:05:50.481 --> 0:05:53.080
<v Speaker 2>So it's two things in one. So you've got slime

0:05:53.121 --> 0:05:56.241
<v Speaker 2>and the actual making whatever you're making, Yeah, and then

0:05:56.281 --> 0:06:00.361
<v Speaker 2>you've got the filming it and making it a kind

0:06:00.401 --> 0:06:03.720
<v Speaker 2>of YouTube video that yeah, go on YouTube. But they're

0:06:03.761 --> 0:06:07.121
<v Speaker 2>all doing that, I know. So when the girls get

0:06:07.201 --> 0:06:10.121
<v Speaker 2>Christmas presents, for example, they then go on and do

0:06:10.161 --> 0:06:12.721
<v Speaker 2>a hall and so this goes on their Snapchat, and

0:06:12.761 --> 0:06:15.241
<v Speaker 2>so they film the things that they've got. Oh my goodness,

0:06:15.281 --> 0:06:18.241
<v Speaker 2>I got this and I'm really excited and blah blah blah.

0:06:18.281 --> 0:06:22.401
<v Speaker 2>Everything's content, right, even the part that it blows my mind.

0:06:22.440 --> 0:06:26.121
<v Speaker 2>Yours that haven't got social media yet, they're already going,

0:06:26.320 --> 0:06:28.760
<v Speaker 2>this is content, Like we need to film this. You

0:06:28.801 --> 0:06:31.320
<v Speaker 2>know what my girls used to watch all the time.

0:06:31.481 --> 0:06:32.760
<v Speaker 1>People are unboxing things.

0:06:33.081 --> 0:06:39.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but also people filming themselves playing video games.

0:06:39.961 --> 0:06:40.761
<v Speaker 1>You know, I don't get it.

0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:42.281
<v Speaker 2>It's the weirdest thing.

0:06:42.361 --> 0:06:43.521
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I find that so weird.

0:06:43.561 --> 0:06:47.441
<v Speaker 2>And they make also people make me millions and all

0:06:47.481 --> 0:06:50.921
<v Speaker 2>they do is film themselves going okay, and so this

0:06:51.001 --> 0:06:52.320
<v Speaker 2>is what I have to do for this part, and

0:06:52.320 --> 0:06:54.441
<v Speaker 2>then I'm gonna shoot this guy here and.

0:06:54.921 --> 0:06:58.601
<v Speaker 3>For someone though, like myself, Katie that finds it hard

0:06:58.601 --> 0:07:00.761
<v Speaker 3>to s it's still to watch, even the shows on

0:07:00.801 --> 0:07:03.760
<v Speaker 3>Netflix that I want to watch, Like, I think about

0:07:04.001 --> 0:07:07.720
<v Speaker 3>me wasting my life watching somebody else play a game

0:07:07.921 --> 0:07:11.961
<v Speaker 3>like that blows my mudh It captures kids, little brains

0:07:12.121 --> 0:07:12.761
<v Speaker 3>and does all that.

0:07:12.801 --> 0:07:14.681
<v Speaker 1>Obviously we know why been.

0:07:14.561 --> 0:07:17.921
<v Speaker 2>Scrolling through TikTok and it's like you're watching like three

0:07:17.961 --> 0:07:20.481
<v Speaker 2>to four seconds of each video. Yeah, and they say.

0:07:20.321 --> 0:07:22.081
<v Speaker 1>That now like nothing is capturing.

0:07:22.601 --> 0:07:25.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it needs to be the first few seconds. Yeah,

0:07:25.241 --> 0:07:29.201
<v Speaker 2>I know, twelve seconds tops, Like that's wild Hey, yeah,

0:07:29.721 --> 0:07:31.881
<v Speaker 2>this is why they've got wild Man. Yeah.

0:07:31.921 --> 0:07:34.361
<v Speaker 3>Well that's the first time ever ever let the girls

0:07:34.401 --> 0:07:37.281
<v Speaker 3>do anything like that. It was just so interesting to

0:07:37.441 --> 0:07:40.681
<v Speaker 3>see a different side of them. But also it was

0:07:40.801 --> 0:07:42.881
<v Speaker 3>nice that they didn't want to go straight into like

0:07:42.921 --> 0:07:45.961
<v Speaker 3>watching TV or whatever. I think Lego Masters is the

0:07:46.041 --> 0:07:49.081
<v Speaker 3>current flavor at the moment, but like it was nice

0:07:49.081 --> 0:07:50.681
<v Speaker 3>to see them just sit there and be creative.

0:07:51.441 --> 0:07:54.001
<v Speaker 2>Imagine if Elsie says one day, Mum, I've been really

0:07:54.001 --> 0:07:56.481
<v Speaker 2>thinking about what I want to do when I'm older,

0:07:56.561 --> 0:07:59.521
<v Speaker 2>and I realized that this is going to take off,

0:07:59.641 --> 0:08:03.161
<v Speaker 2>and I'm going to film myself making different things out

0:08:03.161 --> 0:08:06.961
<v Speaker 2>of slime. You know, have kids subscribing all over the world.

0:08:07.001 --> 0:08:09.961
<v Speaker 2>She's gonna be a millionaire. Yeah you thought she would

0:08:09.961 --> 0:08:14.081
<v Speaker 2>be a millionaire from playing tennis or netball, or it's

0:08:14.161 --> 0:08:15.681
<v Speaker 2>going to be making fucking slime.

0:08:15.961 --> 0:08:17.721
<v Speaker 3>I had to do it twice though, I was like,

0:08:18.001 --> 0:08:21.681
<v Speaker 3>looking at it going, you forget that there are devices

0:08:21.761 --> 0:08:25.601
<v Speaker 3>going and they're doing a show technically right, putting on

0:08:25.641 --> 0:08:28.481
<v Speaker 3>a show for themselves. And at the same time you're

0:08:28.521 --> 0:08:31.881
<v Speaker 3>in the background, You're still like your normal household is functioning,

0:08:31.881 --> 0:08:33.361
<v Speaker 3>and so like, at one stage, I'm.

0:08:33.241 --> 0:08:35.800
<v Speaker 1>Like, row, get outside, you idiot.

0:08:35.561 --> 0:08:37.921
<v Speaker 2>Like it's capturing all of your.

0:08:39.721 --> 0:08:41.961
<v Speaker 1>Me I was like, oh that is odd.

0:08:42.401 --> 0:08:44.601
<v Speaker 2>This is such a thing, Rach. And you will no

0:08:44.641 --> 0:08:46.921

<v Speaker 1>and then go from there.

0:09:24.561 --> 0:09:27.601
<v Speaker 2>The people behind the Billy Eilish aid it. They will

0:09:27.641 --> 0:09:28.121
<v Speaker 2>never do that.

0:09:28.201 --> 0:09:30.641
<v Speaker 1>No, just keep producing the music, Billy.

0:09:32.041 --> 0:09:33.521
<v Speaker 2>They said the other day, they we, Mom, did you

0:09:33.561 --> 0:09:36.121
<v Speaker 2>hear about something happened with Billy Eilish. I don't even

0:09:36.161 --> 0:09:37.801
<v Speaker 2>know what it was. If someone said something bad or

0:09:37.841 --> 0:09:40.281
<v Speaker 2>something and they were like, Mom, like it was so sad.

0:09:40.361 --> 0:09:45.001
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, oh, poor Billy eilis crying into a million

0:09:45.281 --> 0:09:47.641
<v Speaker 2>of dollars. Oh, and I think she's doing all right.

0:09:47.961 --> 0:09:50.561
<v Speaker 1>I think she's brushed it off. Her management got rid

0:09:50.561 --> 0:09:51.801
<v Speaker 1>of it, and she didn't even know
