0:00:05.921 --> 0:00:24.921
<v Speaker 1>Apogae Production. Welcome back to another episode of Am I

0:00:25.121 --> 0:00:29.681
<v Speaker 1>A Bad Mum? Podcast? We are so close to Christmas?

0:00:29.921 --> 0:00:31.481
<v Speaker 2>Is it true? Like six weeks?

0:00:32.040 --> 0:00:32.120
<v Speaker 3>Ye?

0:00:32.321 --> 0:00:34.601
<v Speaker 2>Six weeks or five weeks out from Christmas?

0:00:34.721 --> 0:00:36.681
<v Speaker 1>I feel like it's only three weeks left of school,

0:00:37.001 --> 0:00:38.881
<v Speaker 1>three weeks three or four?

0:00:39.001 --> 0:00:39.920
<v Speaker 2>That means four for me.

0:00:40.521 --> 0:00:43.520
<v Speaker 3>That means my child's four weeks off of graduating. Yeah,

0:00:43.601 --> 0:00:45.081
<v Speaker 3>primary school school.

0:00:45.361 --> 0:00:46.401
<v Speaker 1>That's a milestone.

0:00:46.721 --> 0:00:48.041
<v Speaker 2>Yay loiesus.

0:00:48.120 --> 0:00:49.881
<v Speaker 1>Do you do a lot for Halloween? I know we've

0:00:49.921 --> 0:00:50.640
<v Speaker 1>just had Halloween.

0:00:50.721 --> 0:00:52.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we do because the area that we live in

0:00:53.200 --> 0:00:56.960
<v Speaker 3>is quite inundated with people. Because it's sort of like

0:00:57.041 --> 0:00:59.921
<v Speaker 3>everyone's caught on that in the village. Everyone sort of

0:01:00.001 --> 0:01:03.001
<v Speaker 3>joins in, and so we do. We get right into it.

0:01:03.041 --> 0:01:05.881
<v Speaker 3>I bought Halloween things for the front, and we get

0:01:05.961 --> 0:01:07.641
<v Speaker 3>right into it. And I feel like I've just pulled

0:01:07.681 --> 0:01:09.681
<v Speaker 3>down the giant spider to be able to put up

0:01:09.961 --> 0:01:10.840
<v Speaker 3>a Christmas tree.

0:01:11.360 --> 0:01:13.560
<v Speaker 2>I haven't put the Christmas tree up yet. No good.

0:01:14.200 --> 0:01:16.881
<v Speaker 1>So we were home on Halloween. Actually the girls are

0:01:16.881 --> 0:01:21.000
<v Speaker 1>both working now, they're working girls, and I was like

0:01:21.200 --> 0:01:27.560
<v Speaker 1>working girls, working girl. But I got home from taking

0:01:27.601 --> 0:01:29.481
<v Speaker 1>them to work and Day was sat there and he

0:01:29.560 --> 0:01:35.080
<v Speaker 1>had a Halloween mask on. He'd got the lollies out

0:01:35.081 --> 0:01:39.081
<v Speaker 1>of the pantree and he'd put like this little halloween

0:01:39.401 --> 0:01:41.721
<v Speaker 1>thing out on the front porch, which like when you

0:01:41.761 --> 0:01:45.360
<v Speaker 1>walk close to it, it's like scared. It's like, ah, scaredgy.

0:01:45.920 --> 0:01:48.281
<v Speaker 1>And he looked really miserable, and I went, what's wrong?

0:01:48.401 --> 0:01:51.600
<v Speaker 1>And he went, we haven't had one single trick or tree.

0:01:52.321 --> 0:01:54.641
<v Speaker 2>Really, did you have anyone come to the door?

0:01:54.721 --> 0:01:56.361
<v Speaker 1>Not one single person? Do you know what he said

0:01:56.401 --> 0:02:00.081
<v Speaker 1>to me? Since your fault? So why, he said, Because

0:02:00.121 --> 0:02:02.361
<v Speaker 1>you dig out lollies from seven years ago that you

0:02:02.401 --> 0:02:04.881
<v Speaker 1>never let the kids have when they did trickle tree,

0:02:05.321 --> 0:02:07.321
<v Speaker 1>and that's why no one comes to our house anymore.

0:02:07.441 --> 0:02:09.601
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, you're the crazy lady down the street

0:02:09.601 --> 0:02:20.960
<v Speaker 1>that brings out old lollies.

0:02:21.601 --> 0:02:22.720
<v Speaker 2>Am I bad mom.

0:02:22.641 --> 0:02:26.000
<v Speaker 1>For comparing them to when we were teenagers?

0:02:26.881 --> 0:02:27.041
<v Speaker 3>Oh?

0:02:27.081 --> 0:02:29.761
<v Speaker 2>Look, we talk about this a bit, don't we. Yeah,

0:02:29.841 --> 0:02:33.081
<v Speaker 2>we're not that old. We're not that far off being teenagers.

0:02:33.481 --> 0:02:36.041
<v Speaker 1>When I was talking to them the other day about driving,

0:02:36.281 --> 0:02:38.520
<v Speaker 1>I was like, I've been driving since I was seventeen,

0:02:38.561 --> 0:02:39.601
<v Speaker 1>And then I did the math.

0:02:39.881 --> 0:02:41.121
<v Speaker 2>No, I don't, I know.

0:02:42.081 --> 0:02:44.081
<v Speaker 3>It feels so much more fresher when you say no,

0:02:44.121 --> 0:02:45.681
<v Speaker 3>I've been driving since I was seventeen.

0:02:45.841 --> 0:02:48.721
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they weren't saying I've been driving for twenty four years.

0:02:48.761 --> 0:02:53.120
<v Speaker 2>You don't say that it's horrible. Don't count it. That's

0:02:53.161 --> 0:02:56.081
<v Speaker 2>a lot of years. Yeah, I know, just staying with

0:02:56.121 --> 0:02:57.680
<v Speaker 2>the fresh comment, like, you know.

0:02:57.721 --> 0:03:01.280
<v Speaker 1>Since I was seventeen, seventeen, Yeah, just a few years ago,

0:03:01.881 --> 0:03:05.041
<v Speaker 1>far away at all. I feel like we compare them

0:03:05.121 --> 0:03:07.481
<v Speaker 1>a lot to when we were teenagers, because I feel

0:03:07.481 --> 0:03:09.841
<v Speaker 1>like we were a lot more resilient than they are now.

0:03:10.401 --> 0:03:13.400
<v Speaker 1>We've allowed them to be children for longer, we had

0:03:13.441 --> 0:03:15.841
<v Speaker 1>all the whole. When I think about the time I

0:03:15.841 --> 0:03:18.761
<v Speaker 1>was allowed to walk home on my own in the

0:03:18.881 --> 0:03:24.921
<v Speaker 1>dark through the graveyard eleven pm, it's crazy. Now now it's.

0:03:24.800 --> 0:03:27.240
<v Speaker 3>Like, no, they're out the front waiting for their uber

0:03:27.321 --> 0:03:32.201
<v Speaker 3>that well, we've created these monsters, have We've allowed it

0:03:32.240 --> 0:03:32.641
<v Speaker 3>to happen.

0:03:33.081 --> 0:03:36.761
<v Speaker 1>But I had an appointment booked to see a naturopath.

0:03:37.121 --> 0:03:39.041
<v Speaker 1>I've wanted to do this for years and I never have.

0:03:39.201 --> 0:03:41.721
<v Speaker 1>And I was like, I feel like I'm the sort

0:03:41.721 --> 0:03:46.601
<v Speaker 1>of person that will see an advert for some sort

0:03:46.601 --> 0:03:52.281
<v Speaker 1>of greens powder or cow's liver capsule or whatever it

0:03:52.401 --> 0:03:55.281
<v Speaker 1>might be, and I literally see it and go, I

0:03:55.321 --> 0:03:58.121
<v Speaker 1>need that. That's what I need, And then I have it,

0:03:58.281 --> 0:04:00.161
<v Speaker 1>and then I don't feel any different, and then I

0:04:00.241 --> 0:04:03.361
<v Speaker 1>move on to the next thing that someone's advertising me. Like, honestly,

0:04:03.401 --> 0:04:06.241
<v Speaker 1>I'm like a marketer's dream. I literally everything I see,

0:04:06.281 --> 0:04:07.321
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, yep, I need that.

0:04:07.481 --> 0:04:08.161
<v Speaker 2>I'll try it.

0:04:08.241 --> 0:04:09.641
<v Speaker 1>So I got to the point where I was like,

0:04:09.801 --> 0:04:12.721
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what I need? Do I need that? Stuff? Like?

0:04:12.921 --> 0:04:14.841
<v Speaker 1>What am I deficient in? How do I know what

0:04:14.881 --> 0:04:17.601
<v Speaker 1>I'm deficient in? Why do I never feel any better

0:04:17.641 --> 0:04:20.401
<v Speaker 1>from taking these vitamins and stuff? Do I even need them?

0:04:20.721 --> 0:04:23.601
<v Speaker 1>So I went to see a naturopath bought some sort

0:04:23.601 --> 0:04:27.520
<v Speaker 1>of vitamin powder for ninety dollars. I don't even know

0:04:27.521 --> 0:04:28.081
<v Speaker 1>what it does.

0:04:28.481 --> 0:04:30.401
<v Speaker 2>I even know. I was like, just because she said

0:04:30.401 --> 0:04:32.961
<v Speaker 2>you needed it or you were lacking in something.

0:04:32.801 --> 0:04:35.041
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I don't even know. I just was likely, So

0:04:35.041 --> 0:04:36.681
<v Speaker 1>if you're telling me that I need that, then I

0:04:36.721 --> 0:04:37.081
<v Speaker 1>need that.

0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:38.521
<v Speaker 2>At least you're taking a box.

0:04:38.561 --> 0:04:41.400
<v Speaker 3>By finally getting to see naturopath, that's too good to start.

0:04:42.081 --> 0:04:44.320
<v Speaker 1>So anyway, I'm in there and she said to me,

0:04:44.361 --> 0:04:46.521
<v Speaker 1>what supplements do you take? And so I said, oh,

0:04:46.521 --> 0:04:49.241
<v Speaker 1>you know, I take vitamin D and sometimes I take

0:04:49.281 --> 0:04:53.561
<v Speaker 1>a probitic I forgot some left. Sometimes I might have

0:04:53.601 --> 0:04:56.121
<v Speaker 1>a Vitamin C if it's on special in coals, and

0:04:56.440 --> 0:04:59.881
<v Speaker 1>so it's just a little bit of Witch's back. And

0:05:00.001 --> 0:05:02.200
<v Speaker 1>we just got on too talking about the kids. Yeah,

0:05:02.320 --> 0:05:06.640
<v Speaker 1>I said, I bought Lemmy gummies because the kids were

0:05:06.921 --> 0:05:09.841
<v Speaker 1>telling me that that's what we needed. Shed Lemmy gummies

0:05:09.841 --> 0:05:12.880
<v Speaker 1>are like, yeah, you know, the the Krny Kardashian her brand.

0:05:13.041 --> 0:05:15.921
<v Speaker 1>And I take the debloat ones, which are good for

0:05:16.001 --> 0:05:19.001
<v Speaker 1>gut health. And I said, and the sea moss. She went, wow,

0:05:19.721 --> 0:05:23.801
<v Speaker 1>isn't that crazy that your fifteen year old children talking

0:05:23.801 --> 0:05:28.201
<v Speaker 1>about needing sea moss? I said, yeah, we never did

0:05:28.201 --> 0:05:32.521
<v Speaker 1>that when we were teenagers. Could you imagine ever talking

0:05:32.561 --> 0:05:36.080
<v Speaker 1>about needing sea moss or any vitamins or any wellness

0:05:36.161 --> 0:05:40.361
<v Speaker 1>anything when we were teenagers. I'm like, my kids have

0:05:40.481 --> 0:05:44.881
<v Speaker 1>now turned sixteen. My kids are talking about Lemmy gummies,

0:05:45.201 --> 0:05:50.921
<v Speaker 1>They're talking about ancestral nutrition, liver capsules, they're talking about

0:05:51.041 --> 0:05:55.281
<v Speaker 1>sea moss. I was like their age. I was working

0:05:55.320 --> 0:05:58.001
<v Speaker 1>in the cloak room of a nightclub being paid in speed.

0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:01.880
<v Speaker 2>I was waiting for so.

0:06:04.281 --> 0:06:07.400
<v Speaker 3>Did the natural mouth literally just dropped like they're like,

0:06:07.601 --> 0:06:10.320
<v Speaker 3>what the fuck am I dealing with you? Yet?

0:06:10.361 --> 0:06:12.601
<v Speaker 2>Look, I'm also on the other side of it.

0:06:12.721 --> 0:06:16.641
<v Speaker 3>I would never just take gummies or beef livered tablets

0:06:16.681 --> 0:06:19.801
<v Speaker 3>because the Kardashians told me so, Like, I just wouldn't.

0:06:19.801 --> 0:06:21.640
<v Speaker 3>It's just not the way I do think. So I

0:06:21.801 --> 0:06:23.681
<v Speaker 3>would be this, I'd be like, oh, that's cool.

0:06:23.841 --> 0:06:24.281
<v Speaker 2>No, I'm not.

0:06:24.440 --> 0:06:26.320
<v Speaker 1>Well, it's because also in this day and age, we

0:06:26.320 --> 0:06:29.161
<v Speaker 1>scroll through Instagram or whatever you're having a look at,

0:06:29.521 --> 0:06:33.281
<v Speaker 1>and every influencer is advertising something something, but you don't

0:06:33.361 --> 0:06:35.721
<v Speaker 1>know what to believe because they're all being paid for it.

0:06:36.121 --> 0:06:38.320
<v Speaker 3>That's exactly right, That's what I mean. So I just

0:06:38.320 --> 0:06:39.601
<v Speaker 3>don't believe any of them.

0:06:40.281 --> 0:06:41.681
<v Speaker 2>It's just it's clear.

0:06:42.401 --> 0:06:44.640
<v Speaker 3>Also, the other part of it is is like it's

0:06:44.681 --> 0:06:49.201
<v Speaker 3>so interesting and I find the whole Like your girls

0:06:49.201 --> 0:06:52.081
<v Speaker 3>are sixteen now, you know they must be really interested

0:06:52.201 --> 0:06:55.001
<v Speaker 3>in that side of things, like well being and like

0:06:55.041 --> 0:06:57.321
<v Speaker 3>what you're putting into your body. And I was talking

0:06:57.361 --> 0:06:58.760
<v Speaker 3>to a couple of other girls and they were like,

0:06:58.841 --> 0:07:03.881
<v Speaker 3>they're very opposed drinking alcohol. I remember being their age,

0:07:04.041 --> 0:07:06.801
<v Speaker 3>I was not a posed to drinking alcohol. I just

0:07:06.841 --> 0:07:08.361
<v Speaker 3>had to do it without getting caught.

0:07:09.641 --> 0:07:11.121
<v Speaker 2>Yea. Now it's a flip.

0:07:11.321 --> 0:07:15.801
<v Speaker 1>It's so interesting because it's also so yes the teenagers,

0:07:15.841 --> 0:07:18.441
<v Speaker 1>but also the early twenties. It's that, like gen Z,

0:07:18.921 --> 0:07:22.641
<v Speaker 1>there's an age group that, oh, so much healthier than us.

0:07:22.721 --> 0:07:23.201
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:07:23.241 --> 0:07:25.641
<v Speaker 3>One of the mums in I'm gonna let you guess

0:07:25.681 --> 0:07:28.441
<v Speaker 3>which one it is, but one of the moms.

0:07:28.161 --> 0:07:30.161
<v Speaker 2>Out of the group of friends.

0:07:30.481 --> 0:07:32.361
<v Speaker 3>We were doing a workout the other day and she's

0:07:32.361 --> 0:07:35.041
<v Speaker 3>telling me about how, oh my god, Rachel I found

0:07:35.121 --> 0:07:37.641
<v Speaker 3>these amazing alcohol free ciders.

0:07:37.801 --> 0:07:43.481
<v Speaker 1>Oh Emma, did she add to this.

0:07:43.721 --> 0:07:46.961
<v Speaker 3>She's like, they're so good, like they genuinely taste like

0:07:47.081 --> 0:07:49.961
<v Speaker 3>cider and they're like alcohol free and this.

0:07:50.041 --> 0:07:52.081
<v Speaker 2>And I was like, babe, just drink soda water. What

0:07:52.081 --> 0:07:53.561
<v Speaker 2>do you need that for? She because, well, I want

0:07:53.561 --> 0:07:54.761
<v Speaker 2>to feel like I'm having to drink.

0:07:54.761 --> 0:07:56.161
<v Speaker 3>I was like, but she goes, but I'm not having

0:07:56.161 --> 0:07:58.041
<v Speaker 3>a drink, you know, like I'm really saving and they

0:07:58.121 --> 0:08:00.281
<v Speaker 3>only have a drink on the weekend. I said, number one,

0:08:00.401 --> 0:08:03.281
<v Speaker 3>I'm so proud of you for making that change. I said,

0:08:03.281 --> 0:08:07.561
<v Speaker 3>but number two, drink side of four that's alcohol.

0:08:07.881 --> 0:08:08.681
<v Speaker 2>Just drink water.

0:08:09.561 --> 0:08:11.441
<v Speaker 3>Just have a soda water. It will give you the

0:08:11.441 --> 0:08:13.521
<v Speaker 3>effect of the bubbles. And she was like, no, you

0:08:13.601 --> 0:08:15.761
<v Speaker 3>just need to try it. Oh, I couldn't think of

0:08:15.801 --> 0:08:16.521
<v Speaker 3>anything worse.

0:08:16.801 --> 0:08:18.761
<v Speaker 1>I am not a fan of that either. I'm like,

0:08:18.881 --> 0:08:21.441
<v Speaker 1>if I am going to drink a non alcoholic wine,

0:08:21.481 --> 0:08:24.121
<v Speaker 1>for example, and it hasn't got the alcohol and it

0:08:24.161 --> 0:08:24.841
<v Speaker 1>what's the point?

0:08:25.001 --> 0:08:26.521
<v Speaker 2>Nah, just waste calorie.

0:08:27.121 --> 0:08:29.361
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I don't want a bottle of I don't want

0:08:29.361 --> 0:08:31.601
<v Speaker 3>to drink a bottle of something that's like loaded with

0:08:31.681 --> 0:08:32.801
<v Speaker 3>sugar and all of that stuff.

0:08:32.841 --> 0:08:34.481
<v Speaker 2>I'd just rather drink soda water.

0:08:34.641 --> 0:08:39.481
<v Speaker 3>But in saying that, this whole wave of alcohol free

0:08:39.921 --> 0:08:43.241
<v Speaker 3>drinks that are available now, that's insane. It's so good

0:08:43.241 --> 0:08:46.601
<v Speaker 3>to see, actually, and I really support it. I'm not

0:08:46.721 --> 0:08:50.441
<v Speaker 3>supporting the companies by financially backing them and buying the

0:08:50.481 --> 0:08:52.361
<v Speaker 3>product because you still like I drunk.

0:08:56.601 --> 0:08:59.241
<v Speaker 2>But I do love it for other people.

0:08:59.601 --> 0:09:02.961
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, love it for other people. Good on you.

0:09:03.081 --> 0:09:05.561
<v Speaker 2>I don't drink every day. We know this, This is

0:09:05.601 --> 0:09:07.601
<v Speaker 2>a fact. I love to.

0:09:07.641 --> 0:09:10.401
<v Speaker 3>Still, though, have a gen and Tonic on the weekends.

0:09:10.441 --> 0:09:14.721
<v Speaker 3>Come on, you need a sometimes. We know there's nights

0:09:14.761 --> 0:09:18.361
<v Speaker 3>where you just one quiet gener Tonic might just.

0:09:19.001 --> 0:09:22.641
<v Speaker 2>Help you go to sleep. Yeah, well five, If I

<v Speaker 2>have five, I'm on the other side, We're gone.

<v Speaker 3>Out the party side.

0:09:27.961 --> 0:09:30.401
<v Speaker 2>Clearly I didn't come from the same gen Z group.

0:09:30.921 --> 0:09:34.161
<v Speaker 1>No, Like, yes, we're more unhealthy. I'm aware of that.

0:09:34.281 --> 0:09:37.321

0:09:37.321 --> 0:09:41.001
<v Speaker 1>so different thinking about Sea Moss. No, geez were fun.

0:09:48.161 --> 0:09:51.201
<v Speaker 3>like sober as a judge, and there's us in the background.
