Speaker 1: Apod Shake production goalk back to another episode of Am
Speaker 1: I A Bad Mama Podcast? It's funny how in tune
Speaker 1: we were with each other today because I haven't seen
Speaker 1: you until you walked in to do the podcast recording.
Speaker 1: But we are wearing the exact same colors.
Speaker 2: I know. And then I had a laugh and because
Speaker 2: I was like sitting here and we're like prepping, and
Speaker 2: then I like look down and then You've got zips
Speaker 2: on the side of your pants and I've got zips
Speaker 2: at the front of my pants, and then we're matching colors.
Speaker 2: And then all you said to me was I just
Speaker 2: wanted to be comfy this morning. I did too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I dressed for my day if I have
Speaker 1: to dress up, which I don't really like doing, to
Speaker 1: be honest anymore.
Speaker 2: You know, I'm like that with he going out, Like
Speaker 2: I've had a few different events and even the idea
Speaker 2: of now, like knowing I've got to go to an
Speaker 2: event tonight, I have to wear heels. I dread it
Speaker 2: all day. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I love whoever decided and probably for the last few
Speaker 1: years now, the sneakers go everything everything.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we've got a race day coming up soon and
Speaker 2: I've tried. I still haven't got an outfit, but I
Speaker 2: have literally tried to find something black and white with
Speaker 2: a touch of red, and I thought, if I can
Speaker 2: nail this so it's a bit of viby, I might
Speaker 2: be able to pull up snoos, Am I a bad
Speaker 2: mum for having a warped sense of humor?
Speaker 1: What was that lot for?
Speaker 2: Okay, so our girls, well, yours are way past. So
Speaker 2: you can truly see your sense of humor coming out
Speaker 2: your children, right, because they're sixteen, they've got their own.
Speaker 2: But there's a little bit of you and a little
Speaker 2: bit of JA. Like it's a mixture kind of thing.
Speaker 2: The girls being ten and twelve where a little bit
Speaker 2: earlier in that stage where you're just sort of seeing
Speaker 2: it blossom. Elsie's sarcasm at the moment is out of
Speaker 2: this world, out of control. But I know exactly where
Speaker 2: it comes from because I'm messed up like that. I'm
Speaker 2: sarcastic all the time, well not all the time. I'd
Speaker 2: save three quarters. You know, it's a give or take,
Speaker 2: Like I look and go, I'm gonna warp sense of humor.
Speaker 2: I actually find it funny that my child is reversed
Speaker 2: sarcasm and towards me like I find it funny because
Speaker 2: I go, oh, this is good. That was a good one. Now,
Speaker 2: and I think I sent this to you. The other day,
Speaker 2: I popped out to the shop I had left Elsie.
Speaker 2: I think I can do that. I don't know whether
Speaker 2: she's too young anyway. I was in close proximity, but
Speaker 2: I only gone to Ida, so it's literally around the corner.
Speaker 2: And it was in the middle of the day and
Speaker 2: I said to her, and I gave clear instructions, I'm
Speaker 2: going to get this for your lunch, and at that time,
Speaker 2: I want you to put your bag in your room,
Speaker 2: just like three little things that had been annoying me
Speaker 2: for the morning. And I'll go and do that for you,
Speaker 2: because she wanted something in particular for lunch. You do
Speaker 2: x y Z yep, yep done. You get home. She
Speaker 2: hasn't done it. No, I'm at IgA in that short
Speaker 2: space of five minutes, and she is then on her
Speaker 2: iPad that I hate her doing. Are you still at
Speaker 2: the shops? This is her messaging me whilst at Ida,
Speaker 2: whilst trying to just get a couple of things, while
Speaker 2: she's got three jobs to do. Are you still at
Speaker 2: the shops. Question Mark, by the way, I just want
Speaker 2: to know how much time I have to do my
Speaker 2: jobs and then like spraise me with all of these
Speaker 2: like what are they called gifts of like people just
Speaker 2: cleaning like poor me, like vibe of her having to
Speaker 2: clean the floor. No, I didn't ask you to clean
Speaker 2: the floor. I just asked you for it. But genuinely,
Speaker 2: I was standing in IgA and I'm replying going, I'm
Speaker 2: five minutes, I'm nearly home, Get off your iPad. But
Speaker 2: I'm actually standing in the middle of ij looking at
Speaker 2: this conversation I'm now having with my ten year old
Speaker 2: on her iPad with all these gifts, and I was
Speaker 2: laughing my head off. Didn't say that to her, but
Speaker 2: that is and.
Speaker 1: It's essentially text you with a photo like she's a
Speaker 1: slave child, She's a slave, She's Cinderella.
Speaker 2: She she is feeling like she is a slave. And
Speaker 2: all I've given her is like three minimal tasks. I
Speaker 2: wouldn't even call it a job.
Speaker 1: Do you think that we just haven't given our kids
Speaker 1: enough to do over the years in terms of jobs,
Speaker 1: because mine know the exact same. I'll say, you just
Speaker 1: need to feed your animal, Yeah, they're arguing over it.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Right.
Speaker 1: The other day we were going somewhere and I said,
Speaker 1: just so you know, there's a bunch of stuff in
Speaker 1: the fridge for lunch. You've got this option, this option,
Speaker 1: this option. Come home later on, I go, what do
Speaker 1: you have lunch? Actually I didn't even need to ask
Speaker 1: for it, because all over the kitchen I was like,
Speaker 1: first of all, you had two minute noodles standard, which
Speaker 1: is the laziest of lazy.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Secondly, why is the packet on top of the side
Speaker 1: where the bin is underneath? Why is that stuff? You've
Speaker 1: literally made them simplest of lunches. It's literally packet open
Speaker 1: in a pan, hot water. Packet goes in the bin,
Speaker 1: pan goes in the dishwasher.
Speaker 2: Yeah, why is it still out? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Because they argue over who said they were going to
Speaker 1: do it and she was supposed to do it, and
Speaker 1: I just fucking.
Speaker 2: Just do it, shut up and do it. I went
Speaker 2: out of my way this morning to sort of see
Speaker 2: that situation unfold a little bit. This is how warped
Speaker 2: I am. Right. So the whole situation is Sam has
Speaker 2: gone to the bench done something. This is where my
Speaker 2: children learn it from because it's not me. I can
Speaker 2: tell you. I can assure you it's not me. Sam's
Speaker 2: going to bench, made himself something a little snacky and
Speaker 2: then like proceeds to put away half of this shit
Speaker 2: he dragged out, but then leaves the butter right in
Speaker 2: the center of the bench. So if you were to
Speaker 2: talk about clear as day, it's clear as fucking day.
Speaker 2: I can see it. It's the only thing that's left
Speaker 2: on the bench. And I was like, I think he's
Speaker 2: doing it to irk me. And then I was like, no, Rachel,
Speaker 2: this is nope, that's not for you to pick up
Speaker 2: and put away. Leave it there and don't say anything.
Speaker 2: And then I walk past ten minutes later, it's still
Speaker 2: sitting there. And then I go past and it's still
Speaker 2: I was like starting to like twitch at this stage,
Speaker 2: and you know what, It's still on the bench. Yeah,
Speaker 2: because out of principle, I couldn't put it away.
Speaker 1: No, but it does our heads in Well, why did
Speaker 1: you leave it out?
Speaker 2: Yeah? If my eyes are drawn to it, how can
Speaker 2: you not see it? Yeah, your arm's in your legs
Speaker 2: and your eyes got it out of the fridge, so
Speaker 2: how can you not see it? Now? I don't get
Speaker 2: it no.
Speaker 1: Then could text him going, could you please put the
Speaker 1: butter away? And he'll text you with a picture of
Speaker 1: him being like Cinderella. He's a slave in this house's
Speaker 1: slave slave.
Speaker 2: I genuinely find those small things. They irk me and
Speaker 2: I know, like we talk about it all the time.
Speaker 2: How do you control like, you know, stop trying to
Speaker 2: control everything? They gotta learn. How do you teach them
Speaker 2: if they're a forty year old man.
Speaker 1: They don't care.
Speaker 2: No, it's like another child.
Speaker 1: They don't care if the butter is left out, just
Speaker 1: the same as they don't care about wrapping bacon and
Speaker 1: putting it back in the fridge. They'll put it back in.
Speaker 2: Oh no, no, no, no, no, let it go. No.
Speaker 1: Yes, that's what happens because none of them cares.
Speaker 2: You know who's like that in our family? Nanade, Nanady
Speaker 2: loves that. Oh pop that back in the fridge. No wrap?
Speaker 2: What why you're trying to kill yourself? What you want salmonella?
Speaker 2: I'll slip you around the face with a chicken fill
Speaker 2: it like, I actually, what is wrong with you? Just
Speaker 2: put some fucking cling raup on it. She irks me
Speaker 2: about that. She puts some clean up. It takes two seconds.
Speaker 2: In the time that you've turned around and put it
Speaker 2: in the fridge, you could have put clean raup on it.
Speaker 2: She just I don't know what your problem is, Rachel,
Speaker 2: And you're like, what the fuck? How is it me?
Speaker 2: I don't want Salmonelle
