Speaker 1: Am I Bad Mom?

4
00:00:38,361 --> 00:00:40,681
Speaker 2: For not having a topic, so we're just going to

00:00:44,001 --> 00:00:46,801
Speaker 1: A fun Friday roundup of am I A Bad Mom?

7
00:00:46,801 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 3: We're covering everything that you can absolutely think about has

8
00:00:50,001 --> 00:00:54,281
Speaker 3: happened over the last couple of weeks around the households

9
00:00:54,281 --> 00:00:54,801
Speaker 3: of ours.

10
00:00:54,961 --> 00:00:57,921
Speaker 2: I'm actually not really looking forward to school going back.

11
00:00:57,961 --> 00:01:01,921
Speaker 2: I've been quite cruisy. It doesn't feel stressful, like the

12
00:01:01,961 --> 00:01:04,321
Speaker 2: mornings aren't a rush and things like that. I'm also

13
00:01:04,361 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 2: feeling a bit guilty, like we haven't really done anything

14
00:01:07,281 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 2: this school holidays.

15
00:01:08,521 --> 00:01:12,321
Speaker 3: I think naturally, families have quite a structure to them.

16
00:01:12,441 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 3: I go, yes, I know that I've always got something

17
00:01:14,961 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 3: on in the September holidays because dance tends.

18
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:18,681
Speaker 1: To fall on it.

19
00:01:18,721 --> 00:01:20,681
Speaker 3: So I extend it out by an extra day or

20
00:01:20,721 --> 00:01:22,961
Speaker 3: two and we make it like a little four or

21
00:01:23,041 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 3: five day sort of week in Noosa. Take Elsie up

22
00:01:26,041 --> 00:01:29,401
Speaker 3: to all of that. So that's fun. But like these

23
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:33,321
Speaker 3: middle holidays are never one that our family tend to

24
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 3: do or plan a holiday in.

25
00:01:36,041 --> 00:01:36,641
Speaker 1: I don't know why.

26
00:01:36,761 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 3: I think maybe for each family would be obviously well different,

27
00:01:39,801 --> 00:01:42,961
Speaker 3: Like you guys tend to go away in the start

28
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:47,401
Speaker 3: of December holidays every year and then the like September

29
00:01:47,441 --> 00:01:49,761
Speaker 3: ones and stuff. And you've also got girls that are

30
00:01:49,801 --> 00:01:52,201
Speaker 3: just like the age is just so different now.

31
00:01:52,521 --> 00:01:55,961
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's finding stuff that they're interested in, Like they

32
00:01:56,001 --> 00:02:01,001
Speaker 2: want to do fun adventure like stuff. Yeah, like adrenaline type. Yeah,

33
00:02:01,041 --> 00:02:02,801
Speaker 2: like they're like going on boats and jet.

34
00:02:02,641 --> 00:02:06,921
Speaker 3: Skis and yes, all the expensive but at the same

35
00:02:06,921 --> 00:02:08,961
Speaker 3: time it's like winter. So then it makes it really

36
00:02:08,961 --> 00:02:11,841
Speaker 3: hard when someone said to me at the start of

37
00:02:11,881 --> 00:02:14,601
Speaker 3: the kids going to school, oh my gosh, life is

38
00:02:14,641 --> 00:02:17,841
Speaker 3: going to fly by when they're at school. It is

39
00:02:17,881 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 3: because we operate in this structure of term one, term two,

40
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,841
Speaker 3: term three, term four, fill the gaps in between, and

41
00:02:24,881 --> 00:02:27,841
Speaker 3: then all of a sudden, the year's done. We're practically

42
00:02:27,881 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 3: there again. I'm getting emails now about like dance concert

43
00:02:32,641 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 3: and dance photo day and the consumption of my life

44
00:02:36,041 --> 00:02:36,601
Speaker 3: to dance.

45
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 1: Like it's always at the end of the year. It's July.

46
00:02:39,601 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 1: I know, this is what I'm saying.

47
00:02:42,041 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 3: Like, this is because term three will fly by all

48
00:02:45,401 --> 00:02:49,001

80
00:04:19,281 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 2: TikTok advertise think for this stuff, because it was the

81

00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,401
Speaker 3: size of them that's a Stanley cup.

101
00:05:33,521 --> 00:05:36,161
Speaker 1: I don't get Stanley cups. I am not on the trend.

102
00:05:36,481 --> 00:05:39,441

103
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,081

Speaker 2: they're not practical. You can't put them in.

105
00:05:44,281 --> 00:05:44,801

Speaker 1: They work a treat.

109
00:05:52,761 --> 00:05:54,601
Speaker 3: They're so good and now you can get like a

110
00:05:54,921 --> 00:06:00,001
Speaker 3: oversized stubby cooler. But for wine bottles, have you seen them? No,

111
00:06:00,121 --> 00:06:03,840
Speaker 3: they actually work. They actually work, so you can hide

112
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:08,361
Speaker 3: your Stanley full of wine inside your cooler that looks

113
00:06:08,401 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 3: like a wine coller.

114
00:06:09,401 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 2: Guess what I bought, right, I am so happy with

115
00:06:11,561 --> 00:06:15,521
Speaker 2: my purchase. I needed a new water bottle for home

116
00:06:15,561 --> 00:06:17,921
Speaker 2: because I take water up to put on my beds

117
00:06:17,921 --> 00:06:18,721
Speaker 2: on the table at night.

118
00:06:19,201 --> 00:06:22,401
Speaker 1: I bought wait for it, like.

119
00:06:22,361 --> 00:06:24,961
Speaker 2: This is the water bottle of a water bottles, right, Yeah.

120
00:06:25,001 --> 00:06:26,241
Speaker 1: I went to Kmar.

121
00:06:28,521 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 2: Was going there already and I bought one of those

122
00:06:32,961 --> 00:06:36,481
Speaker 2: great but it looks like Stanley. Yeah, bigger than the Stanley.

123
00:06:36,521 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 2: It's got two options. It's a straw, but also you

124
00:06:38,761 --> 00:06:41,161
Speaker 2: can put the stopper on it, though it actually doesn't

125
00:06:41,241 --> 00:06:44,361
Speaker 2: tip up in your bag. So there were a few

126
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:45,801
Speaker 2: color choicters.

127
00:06:45,361 --> 00:06:46,961
Speaker 1: And I was like, oh, I really like the beige.

128
00:06:46,961 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: I'm just going to go beige.

129
00:06:48,921 --> 00:06:54,361
Speaker 2: And then I saw the stage color. The green color

130
00:06:55,241 --> 00:07:00,001
Speaker 2: was also on special. So this water bottle was only

131

Speaker 2: like fifteen dollars to start with. I got it for

132
00:07:02,841 --> 00:07:04,521
Speaker 2: nine nine.

00:07:05,721 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 1: I am so happy.

134
00:07:07,001 --> 00:07:10,681
Speaker 4: I was in the kitchen last night and I had

137
00:07:18,521 --> 00:07:21,921

00:07:21,961 --> 00:07:23,201
Speaker 4: at the girls and Dan I.

139
00:07:23,121 --> 00:07:23,921

00:07:26,921 --> 00:07:30,081
Speaker 3: Do you want to actually why we're doing about kmart

Speaker 3: and those moments of like goodness where you can find

143
00:07:33,241 --> 00:07:36,721
Speaker 3: in gamart, because if you find something on special in gamart, you.

144
00:07:36,641 --> 00:07:38,801

00:07:38,841 --> 00:07:41,201
Speaker 1: like it was free, it might as well be free.

146
00:07:41,441 --> 00:07:45,321
Speaker 3: So we were in there and the girls obviously going camping,

147
00:07:45,681 --> 00:07:47,601
Speaker 3: didn't have any gun boots because it happened to be

148
00:07:47,641 --> 00:07:50,081
Speaker 3: pouring rain on the day that they decided to go camping.

149
00:07:50,761 --> 00:07:52,761
Speaker 1: So I popped it came out really quickly to grab

150
00:07:52,801 --> 00:07:53,321
Speaker 1: some like.

151
00:07:53,401 --> 00:07:57,041
Speaker 3: Gum boots, and then we're in the section where the

Speaker 3: kids slashed.

153
00:07:58,161 --> 00:08:00,081
Speaker 1: Well, my girls are in women's shoes.

154
00:08:00,121 --> 00:08:02,641
Speaker 3: Now we picked up the gun boots and we were

155
00:08:02,641 --> 00:08:06,121
Speaker 3: walking past the kids section and there happen to be

156
00:08:06,281 --> 00:08:09,601
Speaker 3: like the rip off Birkenstocks, but the clothes toe ones,

157
00:08:10,041 --> 00:08:14,241
Speaker 3: they're white and fluffy. Anyway, long story short, Gracie goes, Mum,
