<v Speaker 1>Apod Shaped Production. Welcome back to another episode of Am

0:00:24.961 --> 0:00:29.521
<v Speaker 1>I A Lad? Podcast? Continuously, we asked the same question,

0:00:30.081 --> 0:00:32.841
<v Speaker 1>there's quite a lot of shame involved in parenting. Yes,

0:00:33.281 --> 0:00:37.321
<v Speaker 1>there is, especially at the moment I'm like shaming myself

0:00:37.361 --> 0:00:39.481
<v Speaker 1>for things like could I have done that better?

0:00:39.801 --> 0:00:40.161
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:00:40.161 --> 0:00:42.480
<v Speaker 1>Should I not be doing that in front of them?

0:00:42.561 --> 0:00:43.521
<v Speaker 1>Or whatever it might be.

0:00:43.760 --> 0:00:44.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:00:44.281 --> 0:00:46.161
<v Speaker 3>I I was only talking to someone that has a

0:00:46.161 --> 0:00:49.201
<v Speaker 3>little boy and he's only nineteen months old, and I

0:00:49.241 --> 0:00:51.200
<v Speaker 3>was chatting with her because it's her first and she

0:00:51.361 --> 0:00:53.480
<v Speaker 3>was like, oh gosh, and he was sick, and then

0:00:53.480 --> 0:00:55.761
<v Speaker 3>I went, oh, should I send him shake here or

0:00:55.840 --> 0:00:56.401
<v Speaker 3>shouldn't I?

0:00:56.521 --> 0:00:58.521
<v Speaker 2>And then I have to take work off and did

0:00:58.561 --> 0:01:00.840
<v Speaker 2>it like sin? She was, it was a really big thing.

0:01:01.801 --> 0:01:04.521
<v Speaker 3>Said, I just feel like, you know, the mother guilt

0:01:04.601 --> 0:01:06.640
<v Speaker 3>is just so heavy. And I was like, yeah, it's

0:01:06.681 --> 0:01:09.481
<v Speaker 3>only your first one too. Like it does not go away,

0:01:09.481 --> 0:01:11.000
<v Speaker 3>I said, if it makes you feel better mine at

0:01:11.041 --> 0:01:13.001
<v Speaker 3>ten and twelve, I said, And I still tend to

0:01:13.041 --> 0:01:15.761
<v Speaker 3>get it. I said, I just don't beat myself up

0:01:15.881 --> 0:01:19.880
<v Speaker 3>as much as what I probably did when they were younger, Like.

0:01:19.961 --> 0:01:22.280
<v Speaker 2>I clearly have to say, hand on heart, I.

0:01:22.280 --> 0:01:25.440
<v Speaker 3>Don't beat myself up as much over the small you know,

0:01:25.481 --> 0:01:27.000
<v Speaker 3>the whole don't sweat the small stuff.

0:01:27.041 --> 0:01:28.321
<v Speaker 2>Otherwise I'd be a head case.

0:01:28.360 --> 0:01:30.521
<v Speaker 3>I mean I have moments where I'm probably you know,

0:01:30.601 --> 0:01:32.200
<v Speaker 3>I would be on the tendency of a head case.

0:01:32.241 --> 0:01:34.041
<v Speaker 2>But like that's just because of my kids.

0:01:34.721 --> 0:01:49.481
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I bad mum or embarrassing them.

0:01:50.121 --> 0:01:51.201
<v Speaker 2>This is a standard.

0:01:51.721 --> 0:01:55.121
<v Speaker 1>This is something that happened a couple of weeks ago

0:01:55.281 --> 0:01:58.321
<v Speaker 1>when we were at the races, Big Girls say, out of.

0:01:58.241 --> 0:02:01.281
<v Speaker 3>The races, Big Girls day Out.

0:02:01.641 --> 0:02:04.801
<v Speaker 1>Can I just say just on that quickly For people

0:02:05.081 --> 0:02:07.881
<v Speaker 1>listen to this podcast for a while, they'll know that

0:02:08.001 --> 0:02:10.641
<v Speaker 1>I'm the one that likes to have one more drink

0:02:10.921 --> 0:02:14.521
<v Speaker 1>and I'm the one that's like, I'll stay out later. Yes,

0:02:14.800 --> 0:02:18.481

<v Speaker 1>Day, you were on mighty fine form, thank you. So

0:02:28.601 --> 0:02:32.081

0:02:36.361 --> 0:02:38.401
<v Speaker 3>I have to give you a salute for that because

0:02:38.441 --> 0:02:41.241
<v Speaker 3>that was a mighty fine effort to be able to

0:02:41.240 --> 0:02:42.601
<v Speaker 3>back up and do that the next day.

0:02:42.761 --> 0:02:45.881
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, definitely was a struggle, but got in the Maxi

0:02:46.041 --> 0:02:51.601
<v Speaker 1>taxi yes, and got to our house and I think

0:02:51.641 --> 0:02:53.280
<v Speaker 1>a couple of the people said, we're.

0:02:53.121 --> 0:02:53.761
<v Speaker 2>All getting out.

0:02:53.881 --> 0:02:56.240
<v Speaker 1>We're going to go go in the house and we're

0:02:56.240 --> 0:03:00.281
<v Speaker 1>going to have read before bed drink. Everyone said just one,

0:03:01.041 --> 0:03:03.721
<v Speaker 1>and I went, yeah, I think that's a great idea.

0:03:03.721 --> 0:03:06.960
<v Speaker 1>I look at JJ's like, no, no, no, absolutely not.

0:03:07.721 --> 0:03:09.841
<v Speaker 1>If they come in from one more drink, which won't

0:03:09.841 --> 0:03:12.761
<v Speaker 1>be one more drink, it will be five. We are

0:03:12.841 --> 0:03:15.000
<v Speaker 1>never getting up and doing that ride in the morning.

0:03:15.321 --> 0:03:16.561

<v Speaker 2>The pub shuts. Yeah.

0:03:19.321 --> 0:03:22.321
<v Speaker 3>Look, I wish I was doing the ride the next

0:03:22.401 --> 0:03:25.441
<v Speaker 3>day because I was seeing you like you were giving

0:03:25.441 --> 0:03:28.201
<v Speaker 3>me like the updates. I still just couldn't even take

0:03:28.401 --> 0:03:31.560
<v Speaker 3>the donner off my head. I was just like laying

0:03:31.601 --> 0:03:37.241
<v Speaker 3>in bed like I'd had delegated everything out to everyone else. Katie, Sam, Sorry,

0:03:37.281 --> 0:03:39.161
<v Speaker 3>you'll need to take your daughter to this. You'll need

0:03:39.201 --> 0:03:41.241
<v Speaker 3>to take your other daughter to this. Oh yeah, it's

0:03:41.241 --> 0:03:43.641
<v Speaker 3>also my nephew's birthday party. Could you go to that

0:03:43.721 --> 0:03:44.521
<v Speaker 3>on behalf of all?

0:03:48.481 --> 0:03:50.041
<v Speaker 2>I wish I went home when you did.

0:03:50.361 --> 0:03:53.161
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well you didn't. You partied on But what happened

0:03:53.361 --> 0:03:56.801
<v Speaker 1>during the day is I had asked the girls if

0:03:56.801 --> 0:03:58.081
<v Speaker 1>they could do a couple of jobs.

0:03:58.161 --> 0:03:58.321
<v Speaker 2>Yea.

0:03:58.361 --> 0:04:01.481
<v Speaker 1>One of the jobs included vacuuming the house. We've recently

0:04:01.481 --> 0:04:04.521
<v Speaker 1>got a new vacuum. Because it doesn't matter how many

0:04:04.641 --> 0:04:08.241
<v Speaker 1>of those fucking cordless dysons I try and buy and

0:04:08.441 --> 0:04:10.321
<v Speaker 1>invest in because they're not cheap.

0:04:10.881 --> 0:04:11.721
<v Speaker 2>They never work.

0:04:12.481 --> 0:04:14.681
<v Speaker 1>I use them for maybe a month or a couple

0:04:14.721 --> 0:04:16.721
<v Speaker 1>of months, and then they stop working. They stop sucking.

0:04:17.321 --> 0:04:20.641
<v Speaker 1>I honestly r I changed the filter.

0:04:20.841 --> 0:04:23.201
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, what's going on? Why? I don't know, but the

0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:25.840
<v Speaker 2>onlys okay, yeap will digress.

0:04:25.921 --> 0:04:28.081
<v Speaker 1>Okay, they hate me, So I've gone back to old school.

0:04:28.161 --> 0:04:30.960
<v Speaker 1>Plug it in the electricity, Oh yeah, great, yeah, because

0:04:30.961 --> 0:04:35.161
<v Speaker 1>then you know they're gonna suck. And you're chatting to

0:04:35.201 --> 0:04:38.241
<v Speaker 1>somebody at this moment, and I've come and interrupted you

0:04:38.281 --> 0:04:42.521
<v Speaker 1>because I am face timing my sixteen.

0:04:42.121 --> 0:04:44.041
<v Speaker 2>Year old and I'm having flashbacks.

0:04:44.121 --> 0:04:48.320
<v Speaker 1>You is trying to work out how you put the

0:04:48.401 --> 0:04:51.801
<v Speaker 1>vacuum together. So it's the pulling the cord out of

0:04:51.841 --> 0:04:57.841
<v Speaker 1>the and then it's the pieces together, tending the what

0:04:57.841 --> 0:04:58.641
<v Speaker 1>do you call that?

0:04:58.801 --> 0:05:00.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, the head of the vacuum.

0:05:00.681 --> 0:05:04.001
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and then they're extending it and then furnishing it

0:05:03.361 --> 0:05:07.321
<v Speaker 1>to the hose thing yep, so that it's all together,

0:05:07.481 --> 0:05:10.041
<v Speaker 1>because it's been in the cupboard so it's been dismantled.

0:05:10.281 --> 0:05:13.481
<v Speaker 3>I'm concerned. I mean I'm concerned. I'm actually not that

0:05:13.601 --> 0:05:16.001
<v Speaker 3>person when that comes to that stuff. I go, oh, gosh,

0:05:16.041 --> 0:05:18.880
<v Speaker 3>that's all too hard. But it's actually it's so easy

0:05:18.880 --> 0:05:19.481
<v Speaker 3>to put together.

0:05:19.681 --> 0:05:20.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:05:20.241 --> 0:05:24.081
<v Speaker 1>So I'm on FaceTime and I'm at the races, drink

0:05:24.121 --> 0:05:27.241
<v Speaker 1>in hand on FaceTime, trying to explain how you put

0:05:27.281 --> 0:05:31.080
<v Speaker 1>the vacuum together, and it's made me giggle and I've gone, Rach,

0:05:31.241 --> 0:05:35.401
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna die. Look, I'm on FaceTime trying to show

0:05:35.440 --> 0:05:38.841
<v Speaker 1>her how to use the vacuum. I forget in this

0:05:38.961 --> 0:05:42.801
<v Speaker 1>moment that I'm on FaceTime and she's hearing me say

0:05:42.841 --> 0:05:46.721
<v Speaker 1>that to you. So she's got super upset. She's hung up.

0:05:46.961 --> 0:05:49.401
<v Speaker 1>She sent me this missage. Oh my god. I read

0:05:49.401 --> 0:05:53.440
<v Speaker 1>the message and I felt so bad laughing at me.

0:05:54.001 --> 0:05:56.361
<v Speaker 1>I was just trying to do a good thing. I

0:05:56.401 --> 0:06:00.400
<v Speaker 1>was like, oh my god, I feel terrible. No, so

0:06:00.481 --> 0:06:03.161
<v Speaker 1>then I've sent a nice message back. Ah, I didn't

0:06:03.201 --> 0:06:06.121
<v Speaker 1>know how to use that vacuum either, blah blah blah blah,

0:06:06.161 --> 0:06:12.001
<v Speaker 1>and rage has decided to take my phone and send

0:06:12.121 --> 0:06:16.921
<v Speaker 1>her this a video saying, so shall I play it?

0:06:17.161 --> 0:06:19.801
<v Speaker 3>No, don't play it. I don't need to hear myself.

0:06:19.841 --> 0:06:21.681
<v Speaker 3>I'll do a day of the races. I do now

0:06:21.880 --> 0:06:24.281
<v Speaker 3>remember sending a video to say, I'm very sorry for

0:06:24.361 --> 0:06:25.681
<v Speaker 3>laughing at you, but it's pretty funny.

0:06:25.721 --> 0:06:27.121
<v Speaker 2>But it's like, but we get it.

0:06:27.880 --> 0:06:30.641
<v Speaker 1>But the funny thing was she was she angrier after that. No,

0:06:30.801 --> 0:06:32.841
<v Speaker 1>it was a nice video, and I was like, oh,

0:06:32.880 --> 0:06:35.441
<v Speaker 1>that's a nice video, Like felt a bit better about

0:06:35.440 --> 0:06:38.561
<v Speaker 1>the situation. What was funny is when I saw the

0:06:38.681 --> 0:06:42.481
<v Speaker 1>video on my phone the next day in a sober

0:06:43.121 --> 0:06:48.760
<v Speaker 1>LIGHTLD and I just went, hmmm. If I was a

0:06:48.841 --> 0:06:52.121
<v Speaker 1>sixteen year old, I would be looking at that and

0:06:52.161 --> 0:06:56.520
<v Speaker 1>I would roll my eyes and be like drunk mum.

0:06:56.440 --> 0:06:59.840
<v Speaker 3>Drug mum's at the races. I thought I was tracking

0:06:59.841 --> 0:07:02.320
<v Speaker 3>all right on that day. I thought by that stage

0:07:02.361 --> 0:07:04.761
<v Speaker 3>I was. It all went downhill when we said a

0:07:04.761 --> 0:07:08.161
<v Speaker 3>shim our way somehow into the members section, and that's

0:07:08.161 --> 0:07:11.001
<v Speaker 3>where I felt like it went down. After that, we

0:07:11.001 --> 0:07:13.521
<v Speaker 3>were still getting quite intact photos.

0:07:13.841 --> 0:07:15.881
<v Speaker 1>My thing is, Holly actually said to me the other day.

0:07:16.081 --> 0:07:19.761
<v Speaker 1>We said something about something was over eighteens, and she

0:07:19.961 --> 0:07:21.961
<v Speaker 1>reminded me, oh, I'll be able to go there then

0:07:22.041 --> 0:07:23.561
<v Speaker 1>next year, and I was like.

0:07:23.601 --> 0:07:26.081
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, next year.

0:07:26.561 --> 0:07:28.001
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, And then I went, oh, it's going to be

0:07:28.041 --> 0:07:30.321
<v Speaker 1>so much fun. We're going to go to retros together.

0:07:30.721 --> 0:07:34.881
<v Speaker 1>She was like, I am not going to retros with

0:07:35.041 --> 0:07:38.161
<v Speaker 1>you and your friends? Why not we.

0:07:38.121 --> 0:07:39.961
<v Speaker 2>Get hanging with us? Were the cool cats.

0:07:40.081 --> 0:07:42.881
<v Speaker 1>What's funny, though, is that it wasn't just Holly that

0:07:42.921 --> 0:07:45.121
<v Speaker 1>didn't know how to use the vacuum. Because I asked

0:07:45.121 --> 0:07:49.241
<v Speaker 1>Amelia to do some vacuuming the other day. She's bypassed

0:07:49.361 --> 0:07:52.361
<v Speaker 1>the actual bit where the head is attached to you.

0:07:52.681 --> 0:07:56.201
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, whole part. Yeah, you just need to get

0:07:56.201 --> 0:07:57.921
<v Speaker 2>a stick it and put the sticker on.

0:07:58.001 --> 0:08:01.761
<v Speaker 3>And put one number one, stick number two, stick that,

0:08:01.881 --> 0:08:04.001
<v Speaker 3>number three, stick that and just say put number one

0:08:04.001 --> 0:08:06.561
<v Speaker 3>into number two into number three and they'll be fine.

0:08:06.761 --> 0:08:10.081
<v Speaker 1>But what she's done is she's got the hose, the

0:08:10.161 --> 0:08:14.561
<v Speaker 1>flexible hose part that's attached to the actual bloody into

0:08:14.601 --> 0:08:17.001
<v Speaker 1>the head of the vaunt, know what the names of

0:08:17.001 --> 0:08:20.801
<v Speaker 1>them are, The flexible hose part. She's put that straight

0:08:20.921 --> 0:08:24.321
<v Speaker 1>in to you know, you get different attachments, different heads

0:08:24.361 --> 0:08:27.401
<v Speaker 1>for it. Put that straight into the head, and then

0:08:27.481 --> 0:08:29.441
<v Speaker 1>she's going, why is it so floppy?

0:08:31.441 --> 0:08:33.921
<v Speaker 2>Why is it so ready? How do I get down

0:08:33.921 --> 0:08:35.441
<v Speaker 2>and use that? It's just floppy.

0:08:35.521 --> 0:08:39.081
<v Speaker 1>It's like you haven't put the actual, actual stiff part

0:08:39.161 --> 0:08:39.481
<v Speaker 1>on it.

0:08:39.601 --> 0:08:42.401
<v Speaker 3>That actually probably has a handle on it. Right If

0:08:42.401 --> 0:08:45.521
<v Speaker 3>I'm thinking about my plugin dice in from home, it

0:08:45.561 --> 0:08:49.041
<v Speaker 3>actually has a handle on it where you vacuum from And.

0:08:49.001 --> 0:08:52.921
<v Speaker 1>I'm also very aware all the words we're using around
