Speaker 1: Apod Shape Production. Welcome back to another episode about I
Speaker 1: A Bad Mum podcast. Can you believe? We're halfway through
Speaker 1: the year?
Speaker 2: Do you know what someone said to me the other
Speaker 2: day It had ticked over into July, and they went, oh,
Speaker 2: my gosh, can you believe for like six months from Christmas?
Speaker 2: And I was like, what's wrong with you? Why are
Speaker 2: you even thinking about Christmas right now? It is July.
Speaker 1: It's actually five months. I don't want to talk about it.
Speaker 2: That's just so close to me turning forty next year.
Speaker 1: Oh you know what's good though? Remember that year that
Speaker 1: you did lay By. You put stuff on coming out
Speaker 1: like June July sales.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's coming up.
Speaker 1: And then you were super organized and you had all
Speaker 1: your Christmas shopping done and paid for before Christmas? What
Speaker 1: about that? What about we start now? I know you
Speaker 1: don't want to start.
Speaker 2: This is my thing that I came up with against.
Speaker 2: Just give you some pros and cons with doing that. Yes,
Speaker 2: the price point obviously is dramatically reduced because I think
Speaker 2: all of them, like Big w Target, all of them
Speaker 2: come up right now with that half yearly sale. And
Speaker 2: at that time when my kids were that age, they
Speaker 2: still wanted toys as such, and I find that I've
Speaker 2: flipped into another category of sort of like the nine
Speaker 2: and eleven and not really wanting the toys as such.
Speaker 2: Does it make sense? And so I'm in that pickle
Speaker 2: of going no other places are really doing those big lay.
Speaker 1: By sales or clothes when clothes go on sale at
Speaker 1: this speed of which my children keep growing, my kids
Speaker 1: will be six foot by Christmas.
Speaker 2: Like, I can't keep up. I can't I keep buying
Speaker 2: all this stuff and then they go, oh, we'll just
Speaker 2: sell it if we grow out of it. You don't
Speaker 2: end up selling it. We've got forty five pairs of
Speaker 2: night Pros that you don't fit.
Speaker 1: And that's only in the space of four months. So
Speaker 1: stop growing, Stop growing? And you know the other thing
Speaker 1: I've got coming up?
Speaker 2: Birthday?
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's not just any birthday, it's sweet.
Speaker 2: Sixteen sixty driver's license, learner's license, learner's license.
Speaker 1: How they going with that?
Speaker 2: Saving up for a car and meeting halfway?
Speaker 1: Yeah, minus fifteen dollars at the moment.
Speaker 2: Am I a bad mum for completely and utterly losing
Speaker 2: it over mascara?
Speaker 1: Scara?
Speaker 2: This was a pre holiday's incident. That went down in
Speaker 2: the Thirday Household. It came off the back of Gracie
Speaker 2: going to camp. I let her do her own list,
Speaker 2: like as in, she took the piece of paper, she
Speaker 2: packed it. And when I say packed it, she packs
Speaker 2: it as in, lays everything out and then we go
Speaker 2: through just to double check that things aren't missing, yep,
Speaker 2: and then all is well from there.
Speaker 1: And she took all these perfumes.
Speaker 2: Remember I amp did out her whole fucking toiletry bag
Speaker 2: because she had forty five of those genio. I was like, yeah, cool, no,
Speaker 2: so she took one of those that was all fine.
Speaker 2: So I saw the toiletry bag, saw everything that was
Speaker 2: getting packed, saw the sleeping bag and the sheets and
Speaker 2: everything they have to you have take everything that was
Speaker 2: all good now on this sheet of paper. This sheet
Speaker 2: of paper specifically has a section at the bottom that
Speaker 2: says no makeup, no lollies, yeap, no, whatever it was
Speaker 2: basically banned was on the bottom. Yeah, she's had the
Speaker 2: same piece of paper for the whole time of packing,
Speaker 2: so she can read. She's eleven and it says no. Anyway,
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, yeah, that's fair enough. All goes well.
Speaker 2: Off She goes to camp, she comes home from camp.
Speaker 2: What happens when you come home from camp? Bag gets emptied.
Speaker 2: Mum's expected to clean everything. Like I'm talking. Everything was dirty,
Speaker 2: which is fine. Yep. This was a Friday, and then
Speaker 2: this Saturday morning she had dance. So I was doing
Speaker 2: this on the Saturday morning. So put a big load.
Speaker 2: One did the full load of the nine kilos because
Speaker 2: it was so much.
Speaker 1: Do you reckon? Just a quick side note on that.
Speaker 1: Do you wish that you had a second washing machine
Speaker 1: in times like that? People imagine if you had two
Speaker 1: washes and two dryers.
Speaker 2: I couldn't know, because then you just wash more. Oh,
Speaker 2: just the thought of washing. I have so much to
Speaker 2: fold at home right now. I did all of that.
Speaker 2: That was all great, pulled it all out. She's not home,
Speaker 2: she's half an hour off coming home from dance. Sam
Speaker 2: speaking her up. All was going well, life was well.
Speaker 2: Empty out the washing machine. Outcomes of this washing machine
Speaker 2: my brand new muscara that I only just recently bought
Speaker 2: from Mecca Katie. I don't buy much makeup. I don't
Speaker 2: spend money on makeup. It's not my thing. This particular
Speaker 2: mascara cost me, Like I think fifty bucks or sixty
Speaker 2: bucks or something. Right, one stick of muscara, because the
Speaker 2: girl had suggested that I might like this one because
Speaker 2: when you're washing your face, you literally can pull the.
Speaker 1: Pull it off.
Speaker 2: What do you call it? Like that?
Speaker 1: I've heard this too, yes, right, yeah, but I've always
Speaker 1: been like, oh, there's a lot of money to spend
Speaker 1: a mascara, but it works because I'm also lazy and
Speaker 1: time poor, so and I do want to wear it.
Speaker 1: It's easy to get off and I don't have to
Speaker 1: wear It's a convenience, convenience. He's like the Ida of makeup.
Speaker 2: Better out of five star fries.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, like I said, the Ida, Ah, I.
Speaker 2: Almost had a kinniption. I was like, why the fuck
Speaker 2: is my mascara in Gracie's clothing? And it was all
Speaker 2: just hers in my washing machine. Now I undid it
Speaker 2: because you know how you do the whole Oh maybe
Speaker 2: it's not gone in there as I've undone it. And
Speaker 2: I'm talking like a week or two, Katie, Like, I
Speaker 2: had this thing for a week or two and I
Speaker 2: undo the thing and I pull it out and this
Speaker 2: is just a fucking trickle of water run out of
Speaker 2: my mascara.
Speaker 1: No, it screwined.
Speaker 2: I was like, why why is this here? And I'm thinking,
Speaker 2: oh my god, she wouldn't have And then I tried
Speaker 2: to like walk away from the washing. It just be
Speaker 2: like ninety seconds, just gonna be chill, It's not going
Speaker 2: to be bad. It was bad so bad. Now let's
Speaker 2: fast forward the fact that I've stewed on it for
Speaker 2: thirty minutes and was like still hung out her washing
Speaker 2: did all of that. As she's walked in, she said,
Speaker 2: oh my god, I'm just starving and I can't put
Speaker 2: my bag where I'm just starting. I said, just walk
Speaker 2: your bag to your room and come back and you
Speaker 2: can have something to eat and we'll have a discussion.
Speaker 1: Katie.
Speaker 2: She turned to me and she looked at me and
Speaker 2: she goes, I know what you want to talk about?
Speaker 2: Like how do you know?
Speaker 1: What do you know that I want to talk about it?
Speaker 2: And she was like, I just know, and she walked
Speaker 2: off to put her bag in a room. Ah, it
Speaker 2: was building, and I made sure Sam stayed and she's
Speaker 2: come back around. She stood there and she goes, I
Speaker 2: know yep. I said, So I've just done your washing.
Speaker 2: I said, and what do you think I've found in
Speaker 2: your washing. She goes, yes, I know, I got in
Speaker 2: trouble for it already. What she got in trouble from
Speaker 2: her teachers for wearing mascara on the day that they left,
Speaker 2: and then for having Misscara on camp.
Speaker 1: But you didn't know about that. I didn't know she
Speaker 1: got in trouble. So actually, if she'd have been smart
Speaker 1: about it, she should have come back and put your
Speaker 1: mascara back in your makeup bag before you realized it
Speaker 1: was missing.
Speaker 2: But she didn't.
Speaker 1: She left it in the pocket of her pants and
Speaker 1: then it went through to wash and then she went
Speaker 1: through what I lost it Because she could have probably
Speaker 1: got away with that.
Speaker 2: I said, you're paying for my Misscara. I'm taking it
Speaker 2: out act might even by myself too. Two miscaras, and
Speaker 2: you're paying for both of them because you're replacing the
Speaker 2: one that you've broken. Like that's just wooded logged. I said,
Speaker 2: this whole arm. Why can't you trust me? I'm responsible.
Speaker 2: You don't give me enough credit for Why would I
Speaker 2: do that? And she just stood there and she still
Speaker 2: tried to fight back a little bit. But at the
Speaker 2: same time I think she knew that she was in
Speaker 2: so much trouble. I said to her, I can't. I'm
Speaker 2: just really sad. I'm sad at the moment because you've lied,
Speaker 2: You've gone against everything. You had the piece of paper
Speaker 2: there that clearly said no makeup. You've broken rules of school,
Speaker 2: you've gone against me, and you've taken my stuff. You've
Speaker 2: technically stolen my muscaa and taken it with you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm sad. How about the whole and this is
Speaker 1: kids in general again, but how about the whole fact
Speaker 1: that you don't give a shit about what I work
Speaker 1: hard for? Because I'm always I have this with food
Speaker 1: all the time. I will go and buy stuff lunchbox, nexs,
Speaker 1: whatever it might be, and then i watch them put
Speaker 1: it in the bar and I'm like, I've literally just
Speaker 1: gone and spent money that I've worked hard for on that,
Speaker 1: and then I'm watching you put it straight in the bin.
Speaker 2: What is with that? How to get that fifty and
Speaker 2: fifty at the moment? If you're shopping at IgA, burn
Speaker 2: itt just fucking lin it up and burn it, because
Speaker 2: that's what you're doing right now by tipping all that down.
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 2: She just looked at me. She was like, I said,
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. Yeah, I said, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: I said, I'm sorry. I don't really care. I care
Speaker 1: that I might have to pay it back, and I care.
Speaker 2: That you're right now caring about it.
Speaker 1: I certainly didn't care about the fact that you worked
Speaker 1: hard for that money and spent it on your own mescara.
Speaker 1: I don't care.
Speaker 2: When I took it out, I said, you can watch
Speaker 2: me buy it online as the money comes out of
Speaker 2: your account, I said, because that's got to her. That
Speaker 2: sucks having to buy me a new Messcara. I said,
Speaker 2: I might even get the more expensive one.
Speaker 1: I'm upgrading because it's the Muscara with interest. Now have kids,
Speaker 1: they said, it will be fun.
Speaker 2: You'll also be broke.
Speaker 1: You're you're just broke broke.
Speaker 2: Thank you for coming. Thanks for having kids.
