00:00:22,761 --> 00:00:25,761
Speaker 2: Welcome back to another episode of Am I A Bad

3
00:00:26,081 --> 00:00:30,481
Speaker 2: Mum Podcast. It's an interesting time for the podcast. When

4
00:00:30,521 --> 00:00:32,281
Speaker 2: I say an interesting time for the podcast, it's an

5
00:00:32,321 --> 00:00:37,161
Speaker 2: interesting time for mums and dads. Yeah, because it's that

6
00:00:37,361 --> 00:00:41,961
Speaker 2: Christmas long school holidays. What do we do with them do?

7
00:00:42,321 --> 00:00:46,521
Speaker 2: Everything's so expensive, They're going to be bored anyway. Christmas

8
00:00:46,601 --> 00:00:48,761
Speaker 2: presents need to be bort But then.

9
00:00:48,681 --> 00:00:51,681
Speaker 3: You've got to try and juggle everything as well because

10
00:00:52,361 --> 00:00:54,481
Speaker 3: you've either got the kids. You can't do the kids

11
00:00:54,521 --> 00:00:57,201
Speaker 3: and the Christmas present at the same time, So then

12
00:00:57,241 --> 00:00:59,681
Speaker 3: you're trying to palm them off to go and do

13
00:00:59,721 --> 00:01:01,881
Speaker 3: the Christmas shopping to then come back to be able

14
00:01:01,921 --> 00:01:02,721
Speaker 3: to then wrap it.

15
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:04,561
Speaker 1: Don't come in the room whilst I'm trying to wrap

16
00:01:04,601 --> 00:01:07,601
Speaker 1: the present. It's just a big fucking free for all.

17
00:01:07,761 --> 00:01:10,561
Speaker 2: Oh, I just turn of thought because my kids are

18
00:01:10,601 --> 00:01:14,641
Speaker 2: at home, they're on school holidays already. My first thought was,

19
00:01:14,801 --> 00:01:17,481
Speaker 2: oh shit, I didn't tell them not to go into

20
00:01:17,521 --> 00:01:20,681
Speaker 2: the laundry cupboards because that's where their Christmas presents are

21
00:01:20,721 --> 00:01:24,081
Speaker 2: and I haven't wrapped them yet. And then I had

22
00:01:24,081 --> 00:01:26,961
Speaker 2: a little laugh at myself, thinking as if they're going

23
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:28,881
Speaker 2: to go into the laundry cupboard.

24
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:31,721
Speaker 1: I was like, you beat me, talk as if they're

25
00:01:31,721 --> 00:01:32,561
Speaker 1: going in the laundry.

26
00:01:32,601 --> 00:01:34,681
Speaker 2: It's where we keep that mop and the buckets.

27
00:01:34,801 --> 00:01:37,841
Speaker 3: So silly of you to think that your kids are

28
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:50,281
Speaker 3: going to be in the laundry. Am I a bad

29
00:01:50,441 --> 00:01:54,521
Speaker 3: mum for being extremely unorganized?

30
00:01:55,041 --> 00:01:56,441
Speaker 2: Oh this is not like you.

31
00:01:57,961 --> 00:01:58,601
Speaker 1: Christmas?

32
00:01:58,681 --> 00:02:02,841
Speaker 2: Yeah, you really excelled one year. There was only one year.

33
00:02:03,441 --> 00:02:06,001
Speaker 2: I feel like where you did all the Christmas shopping

34
00:02:06,601 --> 00:02:09,161
Speaker 2: on lay By in the June July sales.

35
00:02:09,441 --> 00:02:12,321
Speaker 1: That big frenzy they have halfway through the year.

36
00:02:12,721 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 3: That is pretty good though, especially if your kids are

37
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,641
Speaker 3: of that age where they are quite consistent about what

38
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,881
Speaker 3: they're like, Like maybe one of them is very consistent

39
00:02:21,921 --> 00:02:24,081
Speaker 3: with the lego and you get Legot fifty percent off.

40
00:02:24,281 --> 00:02:27,481
Speaker 1: Very rare, but at the same time so good. Yeah.

41
00:02:27,481 --> 00:02:30,001
Speaker 3: I just like literally wheeled it into those ladies that

42
00:02:30,081 --> 00:02:31,761
Speaker 3: do the wrapping for you.

43
00:02:32,161 --> 00:02:36,601
Speaker 1: Yep, donated some cash, walked away with presents wrapped.

44
00:02:37,561 --> 00:02:41,921
Speaker 2: See this year, I had done absolutely nothing, Yeah until

45
00:02:41,921 --> 00:02:44,641
Speaker 2: the weekend, and I got everything done on the weekend.

46
00:02:45,041 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 1: It was only like a week or so ago.

47
00:02:46,921 --> 00:02:49,321
Speaker 3: And you were like, we were about to just record

48
00:02:49,361 --> 00:02:51,201

49
00:02:51,201 --> 00:02:53,401
Speaker 3: your phone because you got onto Instagram for some reason.

50
00:02:53,481 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 3: You're like, oh, someone else has put up a Christmas

51
00:02:55,881 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 3: tree and you didn't even have a Christmas tree up. No,

00:02:59,401 --> 00:03:01,801
Speaker 3: now you're sitting here telling me a week later.

53
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:02,361
Speaker 1: Oh look at me.

54
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,481
Speaker 3: I'm like, got my Christmas tree up and I finished

55
00:03:04,481 --> 00:03:05,761
Speaker 3: all my Christmas shopping.

56
00:03:06,001 --> 00:03:09,441
Speaker 2: Yeah, all in one weekend. Well luckily it was a rainy,

57
00:03:09,561 --> 00:03:13,161
Speaker 2: miserable weekend. I mean that shopping center was disgusting.

58
00:03:13,601 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 1: It was like, hell, it gives me anxiety that stuff.

59
00:03:16,041 --> 00:03:19,521
Speaker 2: It was so busy. I was in Camar getting a

60
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,361
Speaker 2: few things and Holly called me. She was at home

61
00:03:22,401 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 2: on this particular day. This is on the Saturday, and

62
00:03:24,441 --> 00:03:26,881
Speaker 2: I was doing shopping for them for the kids, and

63
00:03:26,921 --> 00:03:29,601
Speaker 2: she called me and she was asking me, like some

64
00:03:29,761 --> 00:03:32,441
Speaker 2: question about something, and I went, I can't be on

65
00:03:32,481 --> 00:03:35,121
Speaker 2: the phone to you right now. I'm in Kamar and

66
00:03:35,241 --> 00:03:41,481
Speaker 2: it is so busy it's making me itchy. She was like, Okay,

67
00:03:41,841 --> 00:03:42,761
Speaker 2: I'll get off the phone.

68
00:03:42,841 --> 00:03:48,081
Speaker 3: I was like, this is itchy, weird. I've heard just

69
00:03:48,401 --> 00:03:51,761
Speaker 3: was just people everywhere. I genuinely get like that when

70
00:03:51,761 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 3: it's that busy in those shopping centers because we're all

71
00:03:54,241 --> 00:03:55,201
Speaker 3: under one roof.

72
00:03:55,561 --> 00:03:56,521
Speaker 1: That's weird, isn't it.

73
00:03:56,601 --> 00:03:59,121
Speaker 3: But I think about like all the germs being contained

74
00:03:59,161 --> 00:04:00,081
Speaker 3: into one area.

75
00:04:00,281 --> 00:04:00,921
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just go.

76
00:04:01,961 --> 00:04:04,801
Speaker 2: And no one's careful about staying away from you either,

77
00:04:05,361 --> 00:04:09,001
Speaker 2: Like I really noticed that, like people just brushing past you.

78
00:04:09,401 --> 00:04:10,881
Speaker 2: No one gives my shit.

79
00:04:10,841 --> 00:04:12,841
Speaker 3: Being in each other's space. I don't even care about

80
00:04:12,881 --> 00:04:15,081
Speaker 3: the germ part. I just like, just don't touch me,

81
00:04:15,441 --> 00:04:17,801
Speaker 3: like we don't need to touch. Yeah, you don't need

82
00:04:17,841 --> 00:04:20,801
Speaker 3: to accidentally run into my heel with the trolley because

83
00:04:20,801 --> 00:04:21,601
Speaker 3: you weren't watching.

84
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,281
Speaker 2: And also when it's that busy and people are like

85
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:30,121
Speaker 2: just dilly dying, like walking slowly. I actually said at

86
00:04:30,121 --> 00:04:33,801
Speaker 2: one point, I got shit to do. Way, I was like,

87
00:04:33,841 --> 00:04:35,681
Speaker 2: excuse me, can I just get through? I just want

88
00:04:35,721 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 2: to walk a bit faster, Like they were right in

89
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,361
Speaker 2: front of walking so slowly. I was like, why are

90
00:04:39,361 --> 00:04:42,521
Speaker 2: you walking slowly in this situation? This is horrible. This

91
00:04:42,601 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 2: is a horrible situation. It's so busy, there's people everywhere.

92
00:04:46,561 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 2: Why do you want to prolong that?

93
00:04:49,241 --> 00:04:51,721
Speaker 3: Because I think that some people would genuinely go there

94
00:04:51,801 --> 00:04:52,721
Speaker 3: just to past time.

95
00:04:53,001 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 2: Oh my god, it was just horrible. But what I

96
00:04:55,841 --> 00:04:59,401
Speaker 2: found was if I go somewhere and I buy the

97
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,881
Speaker 2: first present and I'm like, Yep, that's what I want

98
00:05:01,921 --> 00:05:04,841
Speaker 2: to get. Yep, that's great. Oh Black Friday cell E

99
00:05:05,041 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 2: even better. Like there's nothing I love more than going

100
00:05:08,081 --> 00:05:10,121
Speaker 2: to the checkout with something that I want to buy

101
00:05:10,241 --> 00:05:13,361
Speaker 2: and then going oh, yeah there's twenty percent of yeah, perfect,

102
00:05:13,721 --> 00:05:16,601
Speaker 2: so good. I was just on a roll, Rach, I

103
00:05:16,681 --> 00:05:19,481
Speaker 2: was on a roll. I was like, yep, tick tick tick.

104
00:05:20,041 --> 00:05:22,241
Speaker 3: You've done on a roll because you've been given a list,

105
00:05:22,481 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 3: or you're on a roll because you just like ideas

106
00:05:24,841 --> 00:05:27,841
Speaker 3: centrals just popping into your head. Like if that's me

107
00:05:28,401 --> 00:05:32,041
Speaker 3: when I walk into Kmart, ideas central is that creative

108
00:05:32,081 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 3: part of my brain just fucking floods away. It's just

109
00:05:35,481 --> 00:05:38,321
Speaker 3: dawn and I stand in there like a deer in headlights,

110
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:42,121
Speaker 3: going oh god, I don't um. And then I find

111
00:05:42,161 --> 00:05:44,281
Speaker 3: myself just going, oh this is too much. I'm just

112
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,241
Speaker 3: gonna leave now because the preparations not being done, Rach.

119
00:06:08,521 --> 00:06:11,041
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's very different though to where I'm at.

120
00:06:11,361 --> 00:06:14,081
Speaker 3: I just get like the random letter that's been handwritten

121
00:06:14,121 --> 00:06:16,121
Speaker 3: and you can't really read some of the things to you,

122
00:06:16,241 --> 00:06:18,121
Speaker 3: like say.

123
00:06:17,681 --> 00:06:20,841

Speaker 2: he does that.

132
00:06:44,601 --> 00:06:47,521
Speaker 1: I don't know that they listen to this podcast. Sometimes

133
00:06:47,681 --> 00:06:48,801
Speaker 1: I really have to breathe.

134
00:06:49,481 --> 00:06:53,001
Speaker 3: Yeah, So no wallpaper, just like new styling in her

135
00:06:53,081 --> 00:06:56,881
Speaker 3: room and she made me go round bed, bathroom table.

136
00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,241
Speaker 3: I think she thought she felt like she was on

137
00:06:59,281 --> 00:07:00,921
Speaker 3: the block. She really likes the block.

138
00:07:01,401 --> 00:07:02,721
Speaker 1: And you know how on the block.

139
00:07:02,521 --> 00:07:05,241
Speaker 3: They walk around and they're like they stage everything, so

140
00:07:05,281 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 3: they sort of try everything out.

141
00:07:06,521 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 1: That's exactly what we were doing that.

142
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,001
Speaker 3: We were taking photos of the items that she wanted,

143
00:07:10,681 --> 00:07:13,121
Speaker 3: like a three hundred dollars, Like what do you call them?

144
00:07:13,161 --> 00:07:15,241
Speaker 3: Let you put your feet on like an ottoman, like

145
00:07:15,281 --> 00:07:17,921
Speaker 3: a poof for it, whatever that thing is. Yeah, yeah,

146
00:07:17,961 --> 00:07:20,081
Speaker 3: that's what she wanted a three hundred dollars just because

147
00:07:20,081 --> 00:07:22,921
Speaker 3: it was fairy, and I was like, oh, yeah, see,

148
00:07:23,201 --> 00:07:24,721
Speaker 3: we could probably find that and came out for a

149
00:07:24,761 --> 00:07:25,121
Speaker 3: bit cheap.

150
00:07:25,281 --> 00:07:27,441
Speaker 2: That's what I mean. You made a mistake going into

151
00:07:27,481 --> 00:07:28,321
Speaker 2: bedbu on the table.

152
00:07:28,441 --> 00:07:30,921
Speaker 3: I was just trying to get some ideas of like color,

153
00:07:31,001 --> 00:07:34,961
Speaker 3: because she was like, I wanted to make my room pink.

154
00:07:35,081 --> 00:07:38,241
Speaker 1: But you see, this kid is not really ever been

155
00:07:38,321 --> 00:07:39,281
Speaker 1: a pink kid.

156
00:07:39,361 --> 00:07:41,921
Speaker 3: So I feel like by getting a pink room, it's

157
00:07:41,961 --> 00:07:44,001
Speaker 3: going to be something that wants to be changed in

158
00:07:44,041 --> 00:07:45,841
Speaker 3: about six months and I'm not doing both.

159
00:07:46,001 --> 00:07:49,481
Speaker 2: Yeah, go to Kmart. Camar's got great stuff.

160
00:07:49,681 --> 00:07:52,121
Speaker 3: So that Canva thing, going back to what it was,

161
00:07:52,161 --> 00:07:54,241
Speaker 3: that Canvor thing would be great. I was on Pinterest

162
00:07:54,281 --> 00:07:58,161
Speaker 3: putting together a collage of the room that she possibly

163
00:07:58,281 --> 00:07:59,081
Speaker 3: like ideas.

164
00:07:59,801 --> 00:08:01,881
Speaker 1: You know what Gracie said when she saw it, Oh

165
00:08:01,881 --> 00:08:03,721
Speaker 1: you never did that when I wanted a new room.

166
00:08:03,881 --> 00:08:06,121
Speaker 3: I was like, mate, you've changed your room designed forty

167
00:08:06,161 --> 00:08:06,961
Speaker 3: five times.

168
00:08:07,121 --> 00:08:10,361
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is really interesting and maybe this is a

169
00:08:10,401 --> 00:08:12,881
Speaker 2: thing that is going around at the moment because Holly

170
00:08:12,881 --> 00:08:16,241
Speaker 2: did the exact same recently that she wanted her room

171
00:08:16,321 --> 00:08:18,881
Speaker 2: to be changed. Yeah, and then she put together some

172
00:08:19,001 --> 00:08:22,281
Speaker 2: ideas as well. This is the thing, right, This was

173
00:08:22,321 --> 00:08:25,521
Speaker 2: the great thing about it. When she started putting these

174
00:08:25,561 --> 00:08:28,521
Speaker 2: ideas together, she thought she would have to pay for

175
00:08:28,561 --> 00:08:33,041
Speaker 2: it herself. So she did take ideas from kmart lamps

176
00:08:33,121 --> 00:08:35,241
Speaker 2: and she put stuff together in like a little I

177
00:08:35,281 --> 00:08:36,921
Speaker 2: don't know what she did it on, but she did

178
00:08:36,961 --> 00:08:39,401
Speaker 2: the same thing on like a little college put it together.

179
00:08:39,481 --> 00:08:41,681
Speaker 1: You can do that now, just like out of interest.

180
00:08:41,721 --> 00:08:44,201
Speaker 3: If anyone else is thinking about doing their own bedrooms

181
00:08:44,241 --> 00:08:46,761
Speaker 3: and not their kids, you can do it on Pinterest.

182
00:08:46,881 --> 00:08:49,721
Speaker 3: You put together literally Look, they have an option now

183
00:08:49,761 --> 00:08:53,521
Speaker 3: to do a collage. Yeah, in your Pinterest account. Anyway, Look,

184
00:08:53,601 --> 00:08:56,281
Speaker 3: let's go back to me being unorganized. Still haven't done anything.

185
00:08:56,761 --> 00:09:00,761
Speaker 3: We're in a really hitty age group. Nine to eleven

186
00:09:00,841 --> 00:09:03,721
Speaker 3: is hard because like they don't want toys, no, but

187
00:09:03,761 --> 00:09:06,001
Speaker 3: then they don't need bike, do you know what I mean?

188
00:09:06,201 --> 00:09:07,321
Speaker 1: Yeah, got rollerblade.

189
00:09:07,361 --> 00:09:09,681
Speaker 2: But you also don't want to make them too old

190
00:09:09,881 --> 00:09:14,081
Speaker 2: with some of the skincare makeup clothing that they want

191
00:09:14,361 --> 00:09:15,561
Speaker 2: mobile phone.

192
00:09:15,361 --> 00:09:16,361
Speaker 1: Not getting mobiles.

193
00:09:16,761 --> 00:09:18,761
Speaker 3: Yeah, she's going to get a Berna phone mate, and

194
00:09:18,801 --> 00:09:21,161
Speaker 3: it's going to be the biggest Berna phone she's ever seen.

195
00:09:21,201 --> 00:09:24,921
Speaker 1: It's going to be like Nokia Exist.

196
00:09:25,761 --> 00:09:29,241
Speaker 2: Okay, give it a few months. When she starts high school,

197
00:09:29,601 --> 00:09:31,801

00:09:31,921 --> 00:09:34,961
Speaker 2: kid that's got the great big nockier and you will

199
00:09:35,001 --> 00:09:36,241
