Speaker 1: Appociate production.
Speaker 2: Welcome back to another episode about My Bad Mum podcast.
Speaker 3: Sometimes I feel like I need to change up the
Speaker 3: intro a little bit.
Speaker 1: Someone said to me the other day or the other
Speaker 1: week I think it was, and they were like, imagine
Speaker 1: if you started it, and I was like, I balk
Speaker 1: it it every time. I go, oh, I can't start that.
Speaker 1: That's not me, that's not my place, that's my role,
Speaker 1: that's not my role. And then I sort of like,
Speaker 1: you know, you practice it, and I was like, it
Speaker 1: doesn't even sound the same. Can't even sound the same.
Speaker 1: I'd have to probably sing my way into it or
Speaker 1: something like that. Well, I just wanted to touch base
Speaker 1: with the fact that I don't know if you can
Speaker 1: see my pants. Yes, do you remember these? Look at this, Katie.
Speaker 1: If you're a true mum from our age, Yeah, yeah
Speaker 1: you remember these?
Speaker 3: Yes, clip pants. Yeah, they're back. They look very comfy.
Speaker 1: They're so comfortable, and Elsie was like, mom, I love
Speaker 1: your pants. I was like, I get it. I used
Speaker 1: to love my clip pants too when I was when
Speaker 1: were the clip pants in like nineteen ninety Isn't.
Speaker 2: It funny because obviously it just it's just recirculating even
Speaker 2: when scrunchies came came back. Also, our kids obviously they
Speaker 2: don't remember the first time around, or you know, probably
Speaker 2: the tenth time around.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, maybe it's and it's only our second.
Speaker 3: They're all recycled.
Speaker 2: But it's funny how our kids think it's like a
Speaker 2: brand new thing.
Speaker 1: I know. But that's what I loved about it, because
Speaker 1: she's like, Mom, I love your pants and I'm thinking, mate,
Speaker 1: I used to unclip them all the way up to
Speaker 1: the top here. Yeah, like full spice girl. Yes, you know,
Speaker 1: the spice girl. But these these might be a little
Speaker 1: bit more fine, so they only go to the knee,
Speaker 1: a little bit more Mum conservative from country road. But
Speaker 1: looks like them looks like they go to the top,
Speaker 1: but they're not.
Speaker 3: But they're just fake buttons.
Speaker 1: Yeah, these are just fake. You're a mom that I
Speaker 1: hide that.
Speaker 3: Am I had Mum for enjoying them getting it wrong.
Speaker 1: This gives me actual joy.
Speaker 2: This is actually not dissimilar from what we were just
Speaker 2: talking about in terms of things being old fashioned and
Speaker 2: then coming.
Speaker 3: Background again kind of things.
Speaker 2: So Amelia was talking to me about this guy, so
Speaker 2: she used the word fit.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, okay, So.
Speaker 3: She was like, he's really fit.
Speaker 2: And then she jumped in with, oh, by the way,
Speaker 2: that's gen Z language for hot.
Speaker 3: I went, oh no, And then I really enjoyed.
Speaker 2: Saying this because I went, ha ha, No, it was
Speaker 2: always fit in the day, we always used to use
Speaker 2: the word fit.
Speaker 3: That's not gen d that's very millennial.
Speaker 1: Not being new right now. And you didn't also need
Speaker 1: to just give me a little hate.
Speaker 3: That's a dick. Yeah, that was a dig. Yeah, because
Speaker 3: I get that a lot. Oh mum, you're so millennial.
Speaker 3: And I'd used that the other way round.
Speaker 2: Recently, when the girls were talking about how one of
Speaker 2: their friends was smoking cigarettes semi formal after party, and
Speaker 2: I thought about it for a second and I was like,
Speaker 2: how do I make that really uncool? And I turned
Speaker 2: around to them and went, How'm millennial of her? She
Speaker 2: was smoking cigarettes?
Speaker 3: Howm millennial?
Speaker 1: I know? And then you have that moment and you're like,
Speaker 1: rather probably smoke cigarettes than vapes, So sure, yeah, do.
Speaker 2: You know that apparently vapes are so toxic that they're
Speaker 2: not supposed to go into landfill.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've told you before. What I've said to my
Speaker 1: girl is like nothing like scare mungering, But I was like,
Speaker 1: when you pick up a vabe and your friends say
Speaker 1: just try it, it tastes like strawberry. I said, what I
Speaker 1: want you to picture, like, really envision it. Close your
Speaker 1: eyes and envision at putting that can of martine in
Speaker 1: your mouth and then just spraying it in your lungs.
Speaker 1: I was like, because that's what you're doing, oh mom?
Speaker 1: And I was like, no, that is what you were doing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, if mortine smelt like strawberries, that's what
Speaker 2: you're doing. Yeah. I've read a lot about and I'm
Speaker 2: certainly not encouraging anyone just starts making cigarettes if they don't.
Speaker 2: But at least with cigarettes you have the ability to
Speaker 2: rejuvenate your lungs if you stop, Whereas I think once
Speaker 2: you vaped, the damage is.
Speaker 3: Done and repair it.
Speaker 2: So I've heard anyway, I mean, I'm an expert, I'm
Speaker 2: not a scientist.
Speaker 1: Do you want to really go down that track? Because
Speaker 1: you know what I was talking about with my girls
Speaker 1: that is not repairable.
Speaker 3: I don't even don't start talking about alcohol in your liver.
Speaker 3: I don't want to hear that.
Speaker 1: No, it was actually about babies, but my child is
Speaker 1: such a funny conversation and it was only the three
Speaker 1: of us girls at the dinner table, but I had
Speaker 1: that same conversation where I was like, yeah, but you
Speaker 1: know what, those muscles around your vagina, they're repairable, they
Speaker 1: bounce back. You can restrengthen those. I was like, but
Speaker 1: the ones in your bottom, you can't restrengthen those, So
Speaker 1: you can't have a baby out of your bottom?
Speaker 3: What hell?
Speaker 1: We somehow got into like who wants to have kids?
Speaker 1: Who doesn't want to have kids? And I'm sitting there going,
Speaker 1: obviously you're ten and twelve. I was like, can we
Speaker 1: just let's talk about this in twenty years? No rush, Like,
Speaker 1: let's talk about it when you're thirty or something, you know,
Speaker 1: like twenty eight thirty. Oh mom, you were you were
Speaker 1: twenty eight when you had me. Like I was like, yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: let's talk about it when you're twenty six. Let's not
Speaker 1: talk about it now. No one's having kids.
Speaker 3: Early.
Speaker 1: One of them turns to me, he goes, I want
Speaker 1: to have a baby, but I don't want to have
Speaker 1: it out of my vagina, And I thought, where the
Speaker 1: fuck is it going to come from other than the
Speaker 1: And I was waiting for her to just go I'm
Speaker 1: gonna have it like you, I'm gonna have it to
Speaker 1: cut out of my tummy. And then she goes and
Speaker 1: I don't want it to be cut out of my
Speaker 1: tummy because that just scares me so much. And I
Speaker 1: went when I just laughed out loud. I was like, well,
Speaker 1: where are you expecting the child to pop out from
Speaker 1: like this? And she goes at my bottom and I
Speaker 1: was like, obviously the other one was laughing her head off.
Speaker 1: But I did lead down to the road of going
Speaker 1: vagina muscles bounce back, but your bottom muscles don't, So
Speaker 1: don't do that. That's irreparable, Like it's a.
Speaker 3: Choice, just on that.
Speaker 2: How nice that they are still at the stage where
Speaker 2: they will talk to you about that stuff though I
Speaker 2: know I'm embarrassing, mom, don't talk about that.
Speaker 1: I know that there will be a time. And this
Speaker 1: is like, you know, obviously coming from other moms with
Speaker 1: like older kids, older girls in particular, as well, like
Speaker 1: the in between age of like mine and yours sort
Speaker 1: of going like there is a distinct age where it
Speaker 1: all starts to drop off a little bit, like where
Speaker 1: you are actually so uncool. Yeah, and no way I
Speaker 1: would ever talk to mum about that, And that's probably
Speaker 1: one part where I go. I really look forward to
Speaker 1: that part. I know that I'll have to do some
Speaker 1: work around my self esteem.
Speaker 3: Then, yeah, you feel shit about yourself.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was like, you go from being like hot property, Yes, mum,
Speaker 1: you're cool. I want to see it. I want to
Speaker 1: chat with you. Let's have a laugh about such random
Speaker 1: things that probably are highly irresponsible of being a mum
Speaker 1: talking to your daughters about but then to nothing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: not needed.
Speaker 3: Nah, you really do have to do some work on yourself.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what you do with your time when you don't
Speaker 1: have anyone to talk to. That's what I'm going to
Speaker 1: be like Katie. I'll just be like I'm sitting there
Speaker 1: at the dinner table and they both won't talk, and
Speaker 1: then I'll just be like, no, wonder people talk.
Speaker 3: Talk At one point, they will talk. Eventually, it will be.
Speaker 2: Eleven pm where you want to be asleep, and then
Speaker 2: they'll tell you about the whole entire day. What's happening
Speaker 2: with friendship groups, what happened at school, everything. I'll tell
Speaker 2: you everything, but it won't be at a time you
Speaker 2: want it to be.
Speaker 1: Sam tends to be the same. I will be a
Speaker 1: asleep and then be absolutely annihilated from the day of
Speaker 1: what it was. Plus I would have gotten up at
Speaker 1: four point thirty to train like all of the above
Speaker 1: in the one day, and then comes in and wakes
Speaker 1: you to want to talk No, and then makes you
Speaker 1: feel bad for not wanting to talk. I just wanted
Speaker 1: to talk about the day.
Speaker 3: While you're asleep.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Katie through the room.
Speaker 3: The room.
Speaker 1: See I'm seeing you get it? He goes, oh, like
Speaker 1: storms out. Oh, this is on you. You're not communicating.
Speaker 3: I'm asleep. I'm asleep.
Speaker 2: I've got a very strict don't wake me up for
Speaker 2: all in my house. Moms deserve to sleep when they
Speaker 2: can sleep.
Speaker 3: They need to be just to sleep.
Speaker 1: I do things around the house that might slam things.
Speaker 1: Slammy Slammerson comes out, especially if you've fucked with my sleep.
Speaker 1: So now I'm gonna fuck with yours.
Speaker 3: That's what I haves
