WEBVTT - Good luck, she's exactly like you

0:00:05.921 --> 0:00:24.801
<v Speaker 1>Apod Shake production goalk back to another episode of Am

0:00:24.841 --> 0:00:30.001
<v Speaker 1>I A Bad Mama Podcast? It's funny how in tune

0:00:30.041 --> 0:00:33.201
<v Speaker 1>we were with each other today because I haven't seen

0:00:33.241 --> 0:00:35.520
<v Speaker 1>you until you walked in to do the podcast recording.

0:00:35.561 --> 0:00:37.681
<v Speaker 1>But we are wearing the exact same colors.

0:00:37.521 --> 0:00:39.481
<v Speaker 2>I know. And then I had a laugh and because

0:00:39.561 --> 0:00:41.601
<v Speaker 2>I was like sitting here and we're like prepping, and

0:00:41.641 --> 0:00:44.160
<v Speaker 2>then I like look down and then You've got zips

0:00:44.241 --> 0:00:46.681
<v Speaker 2>on the side of your pants and I've got zips

0:00:46.721 --> 0:00:50.361
<v Speaker 2>at the front of my pants, and then we're matching colors.

0:00:50.721 --> 0:00:52.241
<v Speaker 2>And then all you said to me was I just

0:00:52.241 --> 0:00:54.761
<v Speaker 2>wanted to be comfy this morning. I did too.

0:00:55.041 --> 0:00:58.281
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so I dressed for my day if I have

0:00:58.401 --> 0:01:00.921
<v Speaker 1>to dress up, which I don't really like doing, to

0:01:00.961 --> 0:01:02.081
<v Speaker 1>be honest anymore.

0:01:02.361 --> 0:01:05.361
<v Speaker 2>You know, I'm like that with he going out, Like

0:01:05.401 --> 0:01:07.800
<v Speaker 2>I've had a few different events and even the idea

0:01:07.840 --> 0:01:10.321
<v Speaker 2>of now, like knowing I've got to go to an

0:01:10.360 --> 0:01:12.961
<v Speaker 2>event tonight, I have to wear heels. I dread it

0:01:13.000 --> 0:01:14.321
<v Speaker 2>all day. Yeah.

0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:18.920
<v Speaker 1>I love whoever decided and probably for the last few

0:01:19.000 --> 0:01:21.401
<v Speaker 1>years now, the sneakers go everything everything.

0:01:21.560 --> 0:01:24.081
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we've got a race day coming up soon and

0:01:24.241 --> 0:01:26.841
<v Speaker 2>I've tried. I still haven't got an outfit, but I

0:01:26.840 --> 0:01:30.401
<v Speaker 2>have literally tried to find something black and white with

0:01:30.401 --> 0:01:32.121
<v Speaker 2>a touch of red, and I thought, if I can

0:01:32.241 --> 0:01:35.360
<v Speaker 2>nail this so it's a bit of viby, I might

0:01:35.401 --> 0:01:48.281
<v Speaker 2>be able to pull up snoos, Am I a bad

0:01:48.401 --> 0:01:51.401
<v Speaker 2>mum for having a warped sense of humor?

0:01:52.961 --> 0:01:54.121
<v Speaker 1>What was that lot for?

0:01:56.801 --> 0:02:00.721
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so our girls, well, yours are way past. So

0:02:00.921 --> 0:02:04.881
<v Speaker 2>you can truly see your sense of humor coming out

0:02:05.121 --> 0:02:07.761
<v Speaker 2>your children, right, because they're sixteen, they've got their own.

0:02:07.801 --> 0:02:09.001
<v Speaker 2>But there's a little bit of you and a little

0:02:09.001 --> 0:02:11.041
<v Speaker 2>bit of JA. Like it's a mixture kind of thing.

0:02:12.081 --> 0:02:14.281
<v Speaker 2>The girls being ten and twelve where a little bit

0:02:14.361 --> 0:02:16.321
<v Speaker 2>earlier in that stage where you're just sort of seeing

0:02:16.321 --> 0:02:21.081
<v Speaker 2>it blossom. Elsie's sarcasm at the moment is out of

0:02:21.121 --> 0:02:23.961
<v Speaker 2>this world, out of control. But I know exactly where

0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:26.560
<v Speaker 2>it comes from because I'm messed up like that. I'm

0:02:26.601 --> 0:02:29.960
<v Speaker 2>sarcastic all the time, well not all the time. I'd

0:02:30.001 --> 0:02:32.401
<v Speaker 2>save three quarters. You know, it's a give or take,

0:02:32.481 --> 0:02:34.601
<v Speaker 2>Like I look and go, I'm gonna warp sense of humor.

0:02:35.001 --> 0:02:37.961
<v Speaker 2>I actually find it funny that my child is reversed

0:02:38.001 --> 0:02:41.561
<v Speaker 2>sarcasm and towards me like I find it funny because

0:02:41.561 --> 0:02:44.721
<v Speaker 2>I go, oh, this is good. That was a good one. Now,

0:02:44.960 --> 0:02:47.081
<v Speaker 2>and I think I sent this to you. The other day,

0:02:47.520 --> 0:02:52.001
<v Speaker 2>I popped out to the shop I had left Elsie.

0:02:52.081 --> 0:02:53.800
<v Speaker 2>I think I can do that. I don't know whether

0:02:53.841 --> 0:02:56.321
<v Speaker 2>she's too young anyway. I was in close proximity, but

0:02:56.361 --> 0:02:58.800
<v Speaker 2>I only gone to Ida, so it's literally around the corner.

0:02:59.121 --> 0:03:00.321
<v Speaker 2>And it was in the middle of the day and

0:03:00.401 --> 0:03:03.041
<v Speaker 2>I said to her, and I gave clear instructions, I'm

0:03:03.081 --> 0:03:06.361
<v Speaker 2>going to get this for your lunch, and at that time,

0:03:06.481 --> 0:03:08.960
<v Speaker 2>I want you to put your bag in your room,

0:03:09.441 --> 0:03:11.881
<v Speaker 2>just like three little things that had been annoying me

0:03:11.921 --> 0:03:14.000
<v Speaker 2>for the morning. And I'll go and do that for you,

0:03:14.481 --> 0:03:17.201
<v Speaker 2>because she wanted something in particular for lunch. You do

0:03:17.481 --> 0:03:20.721
<v Speaker 2>x y Z yep, yep done. You get home. She

0:03:20.721 --> 0:03:24.201
<v Speaker 2>hasn't done it. No, I'm at IgA in that short

0:03:24.240 --> 0:03:29.041
<v Speaker 2>space of five minutes, and she is then on her

0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:32.641
<v Speaker 2>iPad that I hate her doing. Are you still at

0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:35.641
<v Speaker 2>the shops? This is her messaging me whilst at Ida,

0:03:35.801 --> 0:03:38.321
<v Speaker 2>whilst trying to just get a couple of things, while

0:03:38.361 --> 0:03:40.481
<v Speaker 2>she's got three jobs to do. Are you still at

0:03:40.521 --> 0:03:42.641
<v Speaker 2>the shops. Question Mark, by the way, I just want

0:03:42.641 --> 0:03:44.321
<v Speaker 2>to know how much time I have to do my

0:03:44.521 --> 0:03:48.921
<v Speaker 2>jobs and then like spraise me with all of these

0:03:49.041 --> 0:03:51.601
<v Speaker 2>like what are they called gifts of like people just

0:03:51.681 --> 0:03:55.481
<v Speaker 2>cleaning like poor me, like vibe of her having to

0:03:55.521 --> 0:03:57.881
<v Speaker 2>clean the floor. No, I didn't ask you to clean

0:03:57.881 --> 0:04:00.601
<v Speaker 2>the floor. I just asked you for it. But genuinely,

0:04:01.241 --> 0:04:05.801
<v Speaker 2>I was standing in IgA and I'm replying going, I'm

0:04:05.881 --> 0:04:09.161
<v Speaker 2>five minutes, I'm nearly home, Get off your iPad. But

0:04:09.201 --> 0:04:11.961
<v Speaker 2>I'm actually standing in the middle of ij looking at

0:04:11.961 --> 0:04:14.721
<v Speaker 2>this conversation I'm now having with my ten year old

0:04:15.121 --> 0:04:17.641
<v Speaker 2>on her iPad with all these gifts, and I was

0:04:18.201 --> 0:04:21.521
<v Speaker 2>laughing my head off. Didn't say that to her, but

0:04:21.641 --> 0:04:22.361
<v Speaker 2>that is and.

0:04:22.320 --> 0:04:26.321
<v Speaker 1>It's essentially text you with a photo like she's a

0:04:26.361 --> 0:04:29.161
<v Speaker 1>slave child, She's a slave, She's Cinderella.

0:04:29.361 --> 0:04:32.881
<v Speaker 2>She she is feeling like she is a slave. And

0:04:32.961 --> 0:04:37.121
<v Speaker 2>all I've given her is like three minimal tasks. I

0:04:37.121 --> 0:04:38.801
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't even call it a job.

0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:41.921
<v Speaker 1>Do you think that we just haven't given our kids

0:04:42.041 --> 0:04:44.721
<v Speaker 1>enough to do over the years in terms of jobs,

0:04:44.721 --> 0:04:48.200
<v Speaker 1>because mine know the exact same. I'll say, you just

0:04:48.241 --> 0:04:51.281
<v Speaker 1>need to feed your animal, Yeah, they're arguing over it.

0:04:51.521 --> 0:04:52.241
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Right.

0:04:52.361 --> 0:04:54.801
<v Speaker 1>The other day we were going somewhere and I said,

0:04:55.361 --> 0:04:57.400
<v Speaker 1>just so you know, there's a bunch of stuff in

0:04:57.401 --> 0:04:59.561
<v Speaker 1>the fridge for lunch. You've got this option, this option,

0:04:59.641 --> 0:05:03.041
<v Speaker 1>this option. Come home later on, I go, what do

0:05:03.121 --> 0:05:04.801
<v Speaker 1>you have lunch? Actually I didn't even need to ask

0:05:04.841 --> 0:05:06.681
<v Speaker 1>for it, because all over the kitchen I was like,

0:05:06.801 --> 0:05:10.481
<v Speaker 1>first of all, you had two minute noodles standard, which

0:05:10.641 --> 0:05:12.601
<v Speaker 1>is the laziest of lazy.

0:05:12.801 --> 0:05:13.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:05:13.401 --> 0:05:18.561
<v Speaker 1>Secondly, why is the packet on top of the side

0:05:19.281 --> 0:05:23.961
<v Speaker 1>where the bin is underneath? Why is that stuff? You've

0:05:24.041 --> 0:05:29.841
<v Speaker 1>literally made them simplest of lunches. It's literally packet open

0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:33.320
<v Speaker 1>in a pan, hot water. Packet goes in the bin,

0:05:33.841 --> 0:05:35.121
<v Speaker 1>pan goes in the dishwasher.

0:05:35.320 --> 0:05:37.601
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, why is it still out? Yeah?

0:05:37.721 --> 0:05:41.081
<v Speaker 1>Because they argue over who said they were going to

0:05:41.161 --> 0:05:42.601
<v Speaker 1>do it and she was supposed to do it, and

0:05:42.641 --> 0:05:44.561
<v Speaker 1>I just fucking.

0:05:44.401 --> 0:05:47.600
<v Speaker 2>Just do it, shut up and do it. I went

0:05:47.721 --> 0:05:51.321
<v Speaker 2>out of my way this morning to sort of see

0:05:51.401 --> 0:05:54.440
<v Speaker 2>that situation unfold a little bit. This is how warped

0:05:54.481 --> 0:05:57.640
<v Speaker 2>I am. Right. So the whole situation is Sam has

0:05:57.681 --> 0:06:00.080
<v Speaker 2>gone to the bench done something. This is where my

0:06:00.241 --> 0:06:02.481
<v Speaker 2>children learn it from because it's not me. I can

0:06:02.521 --> 0:06:04.761
<v Speaker 2>tell you. I can assure you it's not me. Sam's

0:06:04.761 --> 0:06:07.881
<v Speaker 2>going to bench, made himself something a little snacky and

0:06:07.921 --> 0:06:10.921
<v Speaker 2>then like proceeds to put away half of this shit

0:06:11.041 --> 0:06:13.880
<v Speaker 2>he dragged out, but then leaves the butter right in

0:06:13.921 --> 0:06:16.201
<v Speaker 2>the center of the bench. So if you were to

0:06:16.201 --> 0:06:18.640
<v Speaker 2>talk about clear as day, it's clear as fucking day.

0:06:18.761 --> 0:06:20.961
<v Speaker 2>I can see it. It's the only thing that's left

0:06:20.961 --> 0:06:23.080
<v Speaker 2>on the bench. And I was like, I think he's

0:06:23.121 --> 0:06:26.801
<v Speaker 2>doing it to irk me. And then I was like, no, Rachel,

0:06:27.041 --> 0:06:29.361
<v Speaker 2>this is nope, that's not for you to pick up

0:06:29.401 --> 0:06:32.121
<v Speaker 2>and put away. Leave it there and don't say anything.

0:06:32.440 --> 0:06:35.401
<v Speaker 2>And then I walk past ten minutes later, it's still

0:06:35.401 --> 0:06:38.241
<v Speaker 2>sitting there. And then I go past and it's still

0:06:38.281 --> 0:06:40.960
<v Speaker 2>I was like starting to like twitch at this stage,

0:06:41.681 --> 0:06:45.440
<v Speaker 2>and you know what, It's still on the bench. Yeah,

0:06:45.521 --> 0:06:47.880
<v Speaker 2>because out of principle, I couldn't put it away.

0:06:48.041 --> 0:06:50.601
<v Speaker 1>No, but it does our heads in Well, why did

0:06:50.601 --> 0:06:51.161
<v Speaker 1>you leave it out?

0:06:51.320 --> 0:06:54.121
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? If my eyes are drawn to it, how can

0:06:54.121 --> 0:06:57.481
<v Speaker 2>you not see it? Yeah, your arm's in your legs

0:06:57.521 --> 0:06:59.961
<v Speaker 2>and your eyes got it out of the fridge, so

0:07:00.081 --> 0:07:02.440
<v Speaker 2>how can you not see it? Now? I don't get

0:07:02.481 --> 0:07:02.880
<v Speaker 2>it no.

0:07:03.201 --> 0:07:06.760
<v Speaker 1>Then could text him going, could you please put the

0:07:06.801 --> 0:07:09.561
<v Speaker 1>butter away? And he'll text you with a picture of

0:07:09.641 --> 0:07:13.921
<v Speaker 1>him being like Cinderella. He's a slave in this house's

0:07:14.921 --> 0:07:16.601
<v Speaker 1>slave slave.

0:07:17.161 --> 0:07:21.721
<v Speaker 2>I genuinely find those small things. They irk me and

0:07:21.721 --> 0:07:23.481
<v Speaker 2>I know, like we talk about it all the time.

0:07:23.841 --> 0:07:26.281
<v Speaker 2>How do you control like, you know, stop trying to

0:07:26.281 --> 0:07:30.761
<v Speaker 2>control everything? They gotta learn. How do you teach them

0:07:30.841 --> 0:07:32.481
<v Speaker 2>if they're a forty year old man.

0:07:32.921 --> 0:07:33.801
<v Speaker 1>They don't care.

0:07:34.041 --> 0:07:35.521
<v Speaker 2>No, it's like another child.

0:07:35.601 --> 0:07:38.641
<v Speaker 1>They don't care if the butter is left out, just

0:07:38.681 --> 0:07:42.721
<v Speaker 1>the same as they don't care about wrapping bacon and

0:07:42.761 --> 0:07:45.201
<v Speaker 1>putting it back in the fridge. They'll put it back in.

0:07:45.721 --> 0:07:49.001
<v Speaker 2>Oh no, no, no, no, no, let it go. No.

0:07:50.401 --> 0:07:54.681
<v Speaker 1>Yes, that's what happens because none of them cares.

0:07:54.761 --> 0:07:58.241
<v Speaker 2>You know who's like that in our family? Nanade, Nanady

0:07:58.361 --> 0:08:00.921
<v Speaker 2>loves that. Oh pop that back in the fridge. No wrap?

0:08:01.801 --> 0:08:05.961
<v Speaker 2>What why you're trying to kill yourself? What you want salmonella?

0:08:06.081 --> 0:08:08.041
<v Speaker 2>I'll slip you around the face with a chicken fill

0:08:08.121 --> 0:08:10.881
<v Speaker 2>it like, I actually, what is wrong with you? Just

0:08:10.881 --> 0:08:14.281
<v Speaker 2>put some fucking cling raup on it. She irks me

0:08:14.401 --> 0:08:17.481
<v Speaker 2>about that. She puts some clean up. It takes two seconds.

0:08:17.641 --> 0:08:19.161
<v Speaker 2>In the time that you've turned around and put it

0:08:19.161 --> 0:08:20.761
<v Speaker 2>in the fridge, you could have put clean raup on it.

0:08:21.121 --> 0:08:23.321
<v Speaker 2>She just I don't know what your problem is, Rachel,

0:08:23.361 --> 0:08:25.521
<v Speaker 2>And you're like, what the fuck? How is it me?

0:08:26.521 --> 0:08:28.841
<v Speaker 2>I don't want Salmonelle
