1 00:00:10,829 --> 00:00:15,109 Speaker 1: So you're listening to a MoMA Mia podcast. Mom and 2 00:00:15,109 --> 00:00:18,429 Speaker 1: Maya acknowledges the traditional owners of land and waters that 3 00:00:18,509 --> 00:00:30,469 Speaker 1: this podcast is recorded on the Baby Bubble with Claire 4 00:00:30,509 --> 00:00:34,629 Speaker 1: and Jesse Stevens. It's definitely not a parenting advice podcast. 5 00:00:36,589 --> 00:00:41,749 Speaker 1: Hey mamas, Hey mamas, we've missed you. We've missed you 6 00:00:41,789 --> 00:00:44,989 Speaker 1: a lot, and we're just jumping in because we're never 7 00:00:45,069 --> 00:00:48,429 Speaker 1: short on advice. And the people have been desperate. They 8 00:00:48,549 --> 00:00:52,429 Speaker 1: have been running around with crying babies, holding them upside down. 9 00:00:52,469 --> 00:00:55,509 Speaker 1: Their babies haven't slept since our last episode, Claire, because 10 00:00:55,589 --> 00:00:58,189 Speaker 1: they need us to help, to help, they going, I 11 00:00:58,189 --> 00:01:00,469 Speaker 1: don't know what to do. I need you guys, and 12 00:01:00,509 --> 00:01:04,269 Speaker 1: it's a responsibility, but we have to do it. It's honestly, 13 00:01:04,309 --> 00:01:06,709 Speaker 1: it's enough pressure for me to keep my baby alive. 14 00:01:06,749 --> 00:01:09,709 Speaker 1: You're keeping your baby alive. I'm often keeping your baby alive, 15 00:01:09,709 --> 00:01:11,469 Speaker 1: and you'll keep my baby live, et cetera. But to 16 00:01:11,549 --> 00:01:15,949 Speaker 1: keep everyone's babies functioning is a lot. But it's a 17 00:01:15,949 --> 00:01:18,989 Speaker 1: burden that we carry on. The Baby Bubble is our 18 00:01:18,989 --> 00:01:22,669 Speaker 1: cross to bear. So before season two kicks off, it's imminent, 19 00:01:23,189 --> 00:01:26,269 Speaker 1: it's fun. We have some exciting things planned. We actually 20 00:01:26,309 --> 00:01:28,949 Speaker 1: do have some. We're very excited for it. That's in 21 00:01:28,989 --> 00:01:31,469 Speaker 1: a few weeks. We thought we'd address an urgent listener 22 00:01:31,509 --> 00:01:34,669 Speaker 1: dilemma that's come in and it was marked urgent, capital letters, 23 00:01:35,069 --> 00:01:37,509 Speaker 1: exclamation mark, urgent, urgent. We thought it was a legal letter. 24 00:01:38,109 --> 00:01:41,469 Speaker 1: It wasn't. That was a different email. But we feel 25 00:01:41,589 --> 00:01:44,589 Speaker 1: quite qualified to speak on this at the moment. We're 26 00:01:44,629 --> 00:01:49,269 Speaker 1: experts in a lot. We're particular experts in this crap 27 00:01:49,349 --> 00:01:57,629 Speaker 1: crap crap advice. You're ready for the dilemma, Claire, I 28 00:01:57,629 --> 00:01:59,829 Speaker 1: am ready for the dilemma. Go all right. It is 29 00:01:59,829 --> 00:02:03,109 Speaker 1: as follows. Hi, you too, if it's urgent. I don't 30 00:02:03,109 --> 00:02:05,549 Speaker 1: know why we've got preambled. I was like, just get 31 00:02:05,549 --> 00:02:08,589 Speaker 1: into it. Yeah, thanks so much for season one. You're 32 00:02:08,589 --> 00:02:11,549 Speaker 1: really delivered on being decided unhelpful and if anything, you 33 00:02:11,629 --> 00:02:14,109 Speaker 1: made me a worse parent, So thanks for that. No, 34 00:02:14,109 --> 00:02:17,349 Speaker 1: no worries anyway, I need some advice. We're here for you. 35 00:02:17,909 --> 00:02:20,589 Speaker 1: My wife is working a fair bit from Singapore at 36 00:02:20,629 --> 00:02:22,789 Speaker 1: the moment, and an opportunity has come up for me 37 00:02:22,829 --> 00:02:25,109 Speaker 1: to come over with our ten month old and stay 38 00:02:25,149 --> 00:02:28,109 Speaker 1: in a lovely hotel and do some sightseeing. While it 39 00:02:28,149 --> 00:02:31,589 Speaker 1: all sounds great. Because of her work schedule, I will 40 00:02:31,589 --> 00:02:33,989 Speaker 1: have to do the flight there and the flight back 41 00:02:34,069 --> 00:02:37,069 Speaker 1: on my own. We're not rich, so the flight will 42 00:02:37,069 --> 00:02:40,749 Speaker 1: be economy important note I really, I mean I didn't 43 00:02:40,789 --> 00:02:43,269 Speaker 1: assume it would be anything other than economy. Yeah, but 44 00:02:43,309 --> 00:02:46,029 Speaker 1: thank you for thank you, thank you. I think it 45 00:02:46,109 --> 00:02:49,069 Speaker 1: sounds fun, but it will also be hard work. Do 46 00:02:49,109 --> 00:02:52,069 Speaker 1: you honestly reckon it's worth it? Should I go or 47 00:02:52,229 --> 00:02:56,269 Speaker 1: just stay home where it's easier? Now, Jersey, we are 48 00:02:56,309 --> 00:03:00,229 Speaker 1: in a unique position to respond in that we have 49 00:03:00,269 --> 00:03:03,789 Speaker 1: our own plane, a private plane that takes us to 50 00:03:03,869 --> 00:03:07,589 Speaker 1: and from the Bahamas. Okay it doesn't, we don't. We 51 00:03:08,429 --> 00:03:11,549 Speaker 1: went on a holiday, yeah recently. Yeah, and you went 52 00:03:11,709 --> 00:03:14,789 Speaker 1: with your eleven month old and I went with my 53 00:03:14,829 --> 00:03:18,429 Speaker 1: five month old, and we had two very very different experiences. 54 00:03:18,909 --> 00:03:22,709 Speaker 1: Because of that, some might say small age gap, not 55 00:03:22,829 --> 00:03:25,589 Speaker 1: a small age gap when you're traveling, and you say 56 00:03:25,629 --> 00:03:28,509 Speaker 1: the difference is so, Jess, you're probably in a very 57 00:03:28,749 --> 00:03:31,789 Speaker 1: good position to talk specifically about the ten month old 58 00:03:31,869 --> 00:03:34,829 Speaker 1: element of this dilemma. Well, I'm going to jump right 59 00:03:34,869 --> 00:03:38,269 Speaker 1: into it because I have done a flight on my own, 60 00:03:38,709 --> 00:03:41,229 Speaker 1: and I am going to tell you what you're going 61 00:03:41,309 --> 00:03:44,069 Speaker 1: to do. About the flight, because that's first and foremost 62 00:03:44,149 --> 00:03:46,069 Speaker 1: what we're going to do. I think it's like eight 63 00:03:46,149 --> 00:03:48,349 Speaker 1: hours from Sydney. It's like eight hours and twenty five minutes. 64 00:03:48,389 --> 00:03:50,469 Speaker 1: I looked it up to Singapore and one flight and 65 00:03:50,509 --> 00:03:52,349 Speaker 1: one flight and eight hours and twenty five backs. So 66 00:03:52,349 --> 00:03:54,749 Speaker 1: we're talking six tonight. We're talking seventy eight hours. I 67 00:03:54,749 --> 00:03:58,069 Speaker 1: have a solution on the flight front. Got it. At first, 68 00:03:58,469 --> 00:04:01,069 Speaker 1: I was worried that in order for this solution to work, 69 00:04:01,669 --> 00:04:03,829 Speaker 1: her baby needed to walk, and the average ten month 70 00:04:03,829 --> 00:04:07,669 Speaker 1: old can't walk. But it's okay, crawl role doesn't matter. 71 00:04:08,189 --> 00:04:11,869 Speaker 1: This is what I need. You go towards your boarding gate. 72 00:04:12,989 --> 00:04:15,629 Speaker 1: You put your baby on its side, and you roll 73 00:04:15,629 --> 00:04:18,869 Speaker 1: it onto the plane. Oh wow, okay, so you roll 74 00:04:18,949 --> 00:04:22,389 Speaker 1: the baby onto the plane. I'll throw a toy. I'll 75 00:04:22,429 --> 00:04:24,949 Speaker 1: throw a toy. Joe, go catch her, catch you walk away? 76 00:04:25,469 --> 00:04:32,229 Speaker 1: Oh wow. So baby's borded the flight, baby's boarded, doors closed. Hm, okay, problem, 77 00:04:32,629 --> 00:04:35,509 Speaker 1: baby can't hold baby's ticket. Baby's gonna lose baby's ticket. 78 00:04:35,629 --> 00:04:37,309 Speaker 1: Oh stick it to its head. Oh okay, yeah, okay, 79 00:04:37,349 --> 00:04:39,869 Speaker 1: so you've stuck the boarding pass to it and passport 80 00:04:40,229 --> 00:04:43,149 Speaker 1: and yeah, yeah, put it and it's snappy sticking out. Yeah. 81 00:04:43,229 --> 00:04:44,629 Speaker 1: In fact, I think I told you I went through 82 00:04:44,629 --> 00:04:46,909 Speaker 1: security once couldn't find my passport. Look down, Luna was 83 00:04:46,949 --> 00:04:48,429 Speaker 1: holding it. I was like, I don't know where you 84 00:04:48,509 --> 00:04:50,309 Speaker 1: got that. But they're actually good with gripping things that 85 00:04:50,309 --> 00:04:52,509 Speaker 1: they're not meant to hold. So baby's probably crawling with 86 00:04:52,629 --> 00:04:56,949 Speaker 1: passport boarding pass stuck to head. Baby's on plane. This 87 00:04:56,989 --> 00:05:00,429 Speaker 1: is officially someone else's problem. What you do is you 88 00:05:00,469 --> 00:05:04,509 Speaker 1: go and get a slightly later flight to Singapore, meet 89 00:05:04,509 --> 00:05:08,349 Speaker 1: the baby at baggage, right, and then what you do 90 00:05:08,429 --> 00:05:09,989 Speaker 1: is when your partner picks you up at the other end, 91 00:05:10,869 --> 00:05:13,629 Speaker 1: you go, we've done the whole flight together. Actually tired, 92 00:05:14,389 --> 00:05:17,629 Speaker 1: you're O judy, Yeah, indefinitely, and do the same on 93 00:05:17,669 --> 00:05:20,309 Speaker 1: the way back. Love it now, backup option if that 94 00:05:20,349 --> 00:05:22,629 Speaker 1: doesn't want because you might roll the baby, and the 95 00:05:22,669 --> 00:05:25,829 Speaker 1: baby might roll in a weird direction and not make 96 00:05:25,869 --> 00:05:28,629 Speaker 1: it and not make the flight. Yeah, I've got a question, 97 00:05:28,749 --> 00:05:32,149 Speaker 1: because okay, all right, this is what you do. You 98 00:05:32,189 --> 00:05:35,709 Speaker 1: give your baby to a stranger and say, nice looking, 99 00:05:35,909 --> 00:05:41,069 Speaker 1: not any on the plane, in the line on the plane, Yeah, 100 00:05:41,149 --> 00:05:44,229 Speaker 1: nice looking stranger, not anyone. We're not irresponsible like a 101 00:05:44,309 --> 00:05:47,829 Speaker 1: grandma and you say, I'm traveling on my own. Would 102 00:05:47,909 --> 00:05:50,309 Speaker 1: you mind just holding my baby while I go to 103 00:05:50,349 --> 00:05:54,749 Speaker 1: the bathroom. Yeah, I've seen it. Catch me if you 104 00:05:54,789 --> 00:05:58,669 Speaker 1: can that. Apparently you can escape a plane via the bathroom. 105 00:05:59,549 --> 00:06:01,629 Speaker 1: Really in that movie he does it, He gets out 106 00:06:01,669 --> 00:06:03,029 Speaker 1: the bottom of the plane. Because I thus, if they're 107 00:06:03,029 --> 00:06:04,709 Speaker 1: still boarding, you could just walk out. I think you 108 00:06:04,709 --> 00:06:07,869 Speaker 1: could also just walk out. The thing is you asked 109 00:06:07,949 --> 00:06:11,229 Speaker 1: them to mind your baby. You didn't say, and it's 110 00:06:11,269 --> 00:06:14,549 Speaker 1: on them. Yeah, that's called responsibility. It's how the social 111 00:06:14,589 --> 00:06:16,669 Speaker 1: contract works. I don't make the rules, but they are 112 00:06:16,669 --> 00:06:19,229 Speaker 1: looking after that baby for eight hours and twenty five minutes. 113 00:06:19,229 --> 00:06:21,149 Speaker 1: What are they going to do? Just put it down 114 00:06:21,229 --> 00:06:23,549 Speaker 1: and ignore it now, it would be really irresponsible. Yeah, 115 00:06:23,589 --> 00:06:26,429 Speaker 1: so then you obviously pick baby up at baggage carousel, 116 00:06:27,269 --> 00:06:28,709 Speaker 1: go on with your life. It's actually really good for 117 00:06:28,709 --> 00:06:33,229 Speaker 1: their independence. Discussion. Yeah, I do. In Vizige, the baby 118 00:06:33,309 --> 00:06:36,429 Speaker 1: coming out on the baggage carousel. Yeah, as though it 119 00:06:36,589 --> 00:06:38,549 Speaker 1: is a piece of luggage. Well that's a bit of fun. 120 00:06:39,069 --> 00:06:42,309 Speaker 1: You could say to the person. Maybe you do tuck 121 00:06:42,349 --> 00:06:44,389 Speaker 1: a note into the nappy so when they change the nappy, 122 00:06:44,509 --> 00:06:47,389 Speaker 1: just be like, meet me at baggage carousel too. Luckily, 123 00:06:47,469 --> 00:06:49,309 Speaker 1: I have a way better advice okay than you do. 124 00:06:50,189 --> 00:06:55,229 Speaker 1: Planes need a crash, Oh yeah, genuine one. I don't 125 00:06:55,269 --> 00:06:58,869 Speaker 1: know who would voluntarily do that job, but maybe if 126 00:06:58,869 --> 00:07:01,549 Speaker 1: you paid them one million dollars a year, you might 127 00:07:01,589 --> 00:07:04,709 Speaker 1: find one person who would mind all the babies. So 128 00:07:04,749 --> 00:07:08,029 Speaker 1: there's this thing online and this is unfortunately potentially helpful. 129 00:07:08,029 --> 00:07:09,629 Speaker 1: So I'm flagging that you can skip ahead if you 130 00:07:09,629 --> 00:07:12,509 Speaker 1: don't want it. If not, there is a thing. It 131 00:07:12,589 --> 00:07:15,709 Speaker 1: is called something I've forgotten, and what it is is 132 00:07:15,749 --> 00:07:19,589 Speaker 1: it gets young travelers who want to make money like 133 00:07:19,709 --> 00:07:21,749 Speaker 1: while they're away this. I know two people who have 134 00:07:21,789 --> 00:07:24,349 Speaker 1: just done this, say I'm going to Europe, and it 135 00:07:24,469 --> 00:07:27,349 Speaker 1: pairs them up with someone who needs special assistance on 136 00:07:27,989 --> 00:07:31,349 Speaker 1: a flight. So maybe you're someone who's like you're slightly unwell, 137 00:07:31,669 --> 00:07:34,269 Speaker 1: or you've broken your leg, or you've got babies that 138 00:07:34,309 --> 00:07:37,029 Speaker 1: you need help with. You're paired up with someone you 139 00:07:37,069 --> 00:07:39,549 Speaker 1: then make an agreement about I'm going to pay you 140 00:07:39,629 --> 00:07:41,669 Speaker 1: five hundred bucks to help me look after my baby 141 00:07:41,669 --> 00:07:43,749 Speaker 1: on the flight. That's a lot of money. No, I've 142 00:07:43,749 --> 00:07:45,789 Speaker 1: just pulled that out of my arm, but like any amount, 143 00:07:46,069 --> 00:07:48,149 Speaker 1: and then they agree to it. Okay. So it's a 144 00:07:48,229 --> 00:07:50,309 Speaker 1: thing that's set up. It's called like Juno or jung 145 00:07:50,469 --> 00:07:52,869 Speaker 1: or something. Okay. The problem is you're still on the 146 00:07:52,869 --> 00:07:56,029 Speaker 1: flight with your baby, yeah, and you feel like somewhat 147 00:07:56,069 --> 00:08:00,989 Speaker 1: obligating you. Yeah. The idea of the crache is, you know, 148 00:08:01,109 --> 00:08:03,909 Speaker 1: kind of in the old days, planes used to have 149 00:08:03,989 --> 00:08:07,029 Speaker 1: like a different setup. They'd have just like a table 150 00:08:07,069 --> 00:08:10,629 Speaker 1: and chairs. You know, you see a photo you see 151 00:08:10,669 --> 00:08:14,389 Speaker 1: you're thinking of a train. You see photos of old 152 00:08:14,469 --> 00:08:17,429 Speaker 1: style planes. I'm not convened, and they were different, and 153 00:08:17,469 --> 00:08:20,149 Speaker 1: so I just think that they're looking know that there 154 00:08:20,309 --> 00:08:24,589 Speaker 1: is room for a crage if they knock out first class. 155 00:08:24,789 --> 00:08:28,589 Speaker 1: TikTok knows. I am particularly interested in watching like first 156 00:08:28,589 --> 00:08:31,429 Speaker 1: class cabins of ridiculous planes. And there's ones that are 157 00:08:31,509 --> 00:08:33,669 Speaker 1: like a lot of square feet and it has a 158 00:08:33,669 --> 00:08:35,349 Speaker 1: double bed and blah blah blah. Like, tell me that 159 00:08:35,429 --> 00:08:37,549 Speaker 1: one of those couldn't be a crash. Yeah, exactly, they 160 00:08:37,549 --> 00:08:39,069 Speaker 1: need to be a crash. These are the things that 161 00:08:39,109 --> 00:08:41,549 Speaker 1: don't make sense that then support why the cration needs 162 00:08:41,549 --> 00:08:44,069 Speaker 1: to happen. So they want you to put the baby 163 00:08:44,109 --> 00:08:47,709 Speaker 1: on your lab and use the baby seat belt, which 164 00:08:47,749 --> 00:08:50,269 Speaker 1: would be fine. But I don't know if they've ever 165 00:08:50,349 --> 00:08:52,749 Speaker 1: met a baby. But baby doesn't want to sit on 166 00:08:52,749 --> 00:08:56,189 Speaker 1: my lap ever ever, not at a cafe, not on 167 00:08:56,189 --> 00:08:58,469 Speaker 1: my lounge in my own home for thirty seconds. So 168 00:08:58,469 --> 00:09:02,949 Speaker 1: this is hugely dangerous. Then they've got the basinets you 169 00:09:02,989 --> 00:09:05,629 Speaker 1: can book like a bassinet seat where the bassinet is 170 00:09:05,629 --> 00:09:08,229 Speaker 1: in front of you. Baby doesn't fit well. Sometimes baby 171 00:09:08,229 --> 00:09:10,349 Speaker 1: doesn't fit. A baby doesn't fit. I've never known baby 172 00:09:10,429 --> 00:09:13,949 Speaker 1: fit well. Matilda fit. She fit on a okay, okay, 173 00:09:13,989 --> 00:09:18,869 Speaker 1: So she slept in the bascinet. Yeah, lovely, okay, But 174 00:09:19,589 --> 00:09:22,789 Speaker 1: when there's turbulence, take got to take them out. And 175 00:09:22,829 --> 00:09:25,549 Speaker 1: so baby's fast asleep in the basinet and it's like 176 00:09:25,629 --> 00:09:29,629 Speaker 1: bing bong and take your baby out. So I'm gonna 177 00:09:29,669 --> 00:09:31,549 Speaker 1: wake her up and she's not going to go back 178 00:09:31,549 --> 00:09:34,469 Speaker 1: to sleep for three hours. And the thing is, I'm sorry, 179 00:09:34,509 --> 00:09:36,429 Speaker 1: do you think that she's safe in my lap for 180 00:09:36,429 --> 00:09:38,869 Speaker 1: the turbulence? That's the thing. Because the bassinet has a 181 00:09:38,909 --> 00:09:43,069 Speaker 1: strap over it, it's fine. I also think that maybe 182 00:09:43,109 --> 00:09:45,709 Speaker 1: on planes they a little bit make up rules as 183 00:09:45,749 --> 00:09:49,429 Speaker 1: they go. I agree. I haven't told you this, but 184 00:09:49,549 --> 00:09:52,549 Speaker 1: on the flight home from Europe, we'd already been in 185 00:09:52,589 --> 00:09:55,549 Speaker 1: transit for seventy two days. People start doing weird shit 186 00:09:55,669 --> 00:09:58,469 Speaker 1: and it's fine. Matilda was asleep in her basinet. Yeah, 187 00:09:58,589 --> 00:10:01,029 Speaker 1: I had the cozy Go, which again I'm sorry, it's 188 00:10:01,029 --> 00:10:04,949 Speaker 1: an actual recommendation. It's like a bacinet cover goes it 189 00:10:05,069 --> 00:10:08,149 Speaker 1: like clips to the sided basnet. She's sleeping like a dream. 190 00:10:08,789 --> 00:10:12,709 Speaker 1: I'm dozing. My partners just dozing. We're like, holy shit, 191 00:10:12,829 --> 00:10:16,269 Speaker 1: we almost went great gray. Yeah, but we're gonna get 192 00:10:16,309 --> 00:10:21,349 Speaker 1: some good rest. Then I get working aggressively by flight attendant. 193 00:10:21,869 --> 00:10:23,589 Speaker 1: He's like, excuse me, you need to take that off 194 00:10:23,589 --> 00:10:27,229 Speaker 1: the basinet, the cozy go. Yeah. I'm like, this happened 195 00:10:27,229 --> 00:10:30,589 Speaker 1: on my fly. This woman was like, yes, got told 196 00:10:30,589 --> 00:10:32,189 Speaker 1: by a flight attendant you need to take this off. 197 00:10:32,189 --> 00:10:33,989 Speaker 1: And she's like no, I'm sorry, but no I don't. 198 00:10:34,469 --> 00:10:36,949 Speaker 1: And it was like a full and the woman heard 199 00:10:36,989 --> 00:10:40,029 Speaker 1: the cozy girl was right. She's like, just take it off. Why? 200 00:10:40,349 --> 00:10:42,309 Speaker 1: And I'm a rule followers. I'm like, oh, I know, 201 00:10:42,349 --> 00:10:43,989 Speaker 1: I'm going to take it off. But I was like, 202 00:10:44,029 --> 00:10:48,829 Speaker 1: just typically, you want me to intentionally wake my sleeping baby. Yeah, 203 00:10:48,909 --> 00:10:51,789 Speaker 1: and the lights are on, so she's definitely gonna wake up. Yeah. 204 00:10:51,949 --> 00:10:56,509 Speaker 1: It's like everyone's fine, she's fine. That cranky man behind 205 00:10:56,549 --> 00:11:01,029 Speaker 1: me is fine. I mean, I would never criticize flight attendants. 206 00:11:01,389 --> 00:11:03,629 Speaker 1: I think that they do God's work and ninety nine 207 00:11:03,629 --> 00:11:05,389 Speaker 1: percent of them are great. But even flight attendants are 208 00:11:05,429 --> 00:11:07,909 Speaker 1: with me on this. Yeah, on every flight, there's one 209 00:11:08,069 --> 00:11:11,509 Speaker 1: and she is making up rules, and she's walking through 210 00:11:11,549 --> 00:11:14,429 Speaker 1: the corridors and things are quiet for a moment, and 211 00:11:14,469 --> 00:11:16,509 Speaker 1: she says, open your window. You're like, we're not landing. 212 00:11:17,269 --> 00:11:19,789 Speaker 1: We're not landing, you know. I don't know if I 213 00:11:19,829 --> 00:11:22,269 Speaker 1: told you this, but I had my seat reclined. It 214 00:11:22,309 --> 00:11:25,269 Speaker 1: was two am, liked by time, and I had my 215 00:11:25,309 --> 00:11:27,869 Speaker 1: seat reclined, and I was made to put my seat 216 00:11:27,949 --> 00:11:29,709 Speaker 1: up every time the person behind me wanted to eat. 217 00:11:30,029 --> 00:11:31,669 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, don't you got it. I knew that you 218 00:11:31,709 --> 00:11:33,349 Speaker 1: got to do that. No one else on the flight 219 00:11:33,389 --> 00:11:35,669 Speaker 1: had to do it. I was watching, you gotta do that. 220 00:11:36,349 --> 00:11:39,189 Speaker 1: You can't be reclining your seat during real time. It's 221 00:11:39,189 --> 00:11:46,469 Speaker 1: two am. No one wants, no one wants breakfast. Okay, yeah, okay, 222 00:11:46,549 --> 00:11:49,149 Speaker 1: you can eat. Anyone can eat with your flight. I 223 00:11:49,229 --> 00:11:51,589 Speaker 1: was looking around everyone's seats, a fully reclined you can eat. 224 00:11:52,509 --> 00:11:55,509 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, we're not putting all things back up. We're not. 225 00:11:55,869 --> 00:12:01,989 Speaker 1: I got yelled at by a cranky multiple times. Was 226 00:12:02,189 --> 00:12:05,709 Speaker 1: if you make me wake up Matilda, she's gonna scream. 227 00:12:05,909 --> 00:12:10,549 Speaker 1: It's do you want to settle her? And you, I think, Baby, 228 00:12:10,949 --> 00:12:14,589 Speaker 1: you start an impromptu crash on board. So you find 229 00:12:14,589 --> 00:12:18,309 Speaker 1: a mum who looks like she's handling it just okay. 230 00:12:18,469 --> 00:12:20,869 Speaker 1: Always she's gone to two kids, she's got to she together, 231 00:12:20,869 --> 00:12:23,589 Speaker 1: she's ready for the flight. Yeah, and you go in 232 00:12:23,669 --> 00:12:26,349 Speaker 1: your mind, my baby for a second, you run, oh yeah, 233 00:12:26,389 --> 00:12:29,189 Speaker 1: so we're similar here. Yeah, you run off the flight. Yeah, 234 00:12:29,269 --> 00:12:31,589 Speaker 1: they're still boarding other people and you say, sorry, sorry, 235 00:12:32,069 --> 00:12:34,549 Speaker 1: I just dropped something around the corner. Okay, and you leave. 236 00:12:34,989 --> 00:12:36,989 Speaker 1: That's just my idea. Yeah I know, but I'm saying 237 00:12:38,109 --> 00:12:42,429 Speaker 1: impromptued crash is my bit baby with stranger, which is 238 00:12:42,469 --> 00:12:46,269 Speaker 1: my idea. Yeah. Well, anyway, that woman with two kids 239 00:12:46,269 --> 00:12:49,909 Speaker 1: is now running crash knowingly. Okay, I have another thing 240 00:12:50,229 --> 00:12:52,029 Speaker 1: because once we're done with the flight, which I think 241 00:12:52,029 --> 00:12:54,749 Speaker 1: we've more than sorted or in Singapore, and it's time 242 00:12:54,749 --> 00:12:57,589 Speaker 1: to do some activities. Yeah, we've been to Singapore. Really 243 00:12:57,669 --> 00:12:59,829 Speaker 1: enjoyed it, loved it. A couple of recommendation loved the 244 00:12:59,909 --> 00:13:03,869 Speaker 1: Night Night Zoo. Baby will love it our Universal Studios. 245 00:13:03,909 --> 00:13:07,869 Speaker 1: Well that's my other thing, baby buzzkill Universal Studios only 246 00:13:07,909 --> 00:13:11,669 Speaker 1: notes I wrote on this whole episode. So I did 247 00:13:12,229 --> 00:13:15,349 Speaker 1: put baby in teacups. You know the teacups ride that 248 00:13:15,509 --> 00:13:17,309 Speaker 1: just goes around. Put baby in teacups for a couple 249 00:13:17,349 --> 00:13:19,949 Speaker 1: of hours. You go, do your rollercoasters. Come back, you'll 250 00:13:19,989 --> 00:13:22,829 Speaker 1: sleep in teacups. Yeah, have a little giggle. Baby can 251 00:13:22,869 --> 00:13:26,109 Speaker 1: feed themselves a bottle at that stage. You're good. Yeah, fine, 252 00:13:26,229 --> 00:13:30,509 Speaker 1: absolutely fine. I will say. Just something to be aware 253 00:13:30,549 --> 00:13:34,109 Speaker 1: of is that babies are un predictable. When they go overseas, 254 00:13:34,149 --> 00:13:36,869 Speaker 1: they start being a different baby. Yes, for reasons. They 255 00:13:36,909 --> 00:13:40,629 Speaker 1: can't tell you your baby turned into an angel. Weird. Yeah, 256 00:13:40,669 --> 00:13:44,669 Speaker 1: well things Matilda started doing for literally no reason while 257 00:13:44,709 --> 00:13:50,069 Speaker 1: we were traveling, pooing five times a day, despising her 258 00:13:50,109 --> 00:13:53,989 Speaker 1: car seat, sometimes doing one times, vomit all over me 259 00:13:54,109 --> 00:13:58,029 Speaker 1: at three am, drinking more milk than a baby can 260 00:13:58,149 --> 00:14:02,509 Speaker 1: safely honestly drink. Yeah, for the way over there, I 261 00:14:02,669 --> 00:14:05,749 Speaker 1: prepped bottles for what she would usually consume in that time, 262 00:14:05,789 --> 00:14:08,029 Speaker 1: so say it was like seven bottles by the time 263 00:14:08,109 --> 00:14:10,749 Speaker 1: we got to doa which was where we were doing 264 00:14:10,749 --> 00:14:14,789 Speaker 1: out connecting flight. She'd had them all. Yeah, that was 265 00:14:14,789 --> 00:14:17,509 Speaker 1: an issue. It was actually really really stressful. Also, I 266 00:14:17,549 --> 00:14:19,909 Speaker 1: hope the rental car company isn't listening to this. But 267 00:14:19,989 --> 00:14:23,229 Speaker 1: we had a car and a couple of days into it, 268 00:14:23,389 --> 00:14:26,389 Speaker 1: we were like, oh, Matilda must have shat in her 269 00:14:26,429 --> 00:14:29,949 Speaker 1: car seat because it smells in here. On. I think 270 00:14:29,989 --> 00:14:31,789 Speaker 1: they've got to be expecting that. Yeah, if you've got 271 00:14:31,789 --> 00:14:33,749 Speaker 1: a car seat, you're if it's not ship and it's 272 00:14:33,749 --> 00:14:36,149 Speaker 1: not ramited, it's both. Yeah yeah, yeah, Well I was like, oh, 273 00:14:36,189 --> 00:14:37,869 Speaker 1: she cleared down a bit of a poop. So me 274 00:14:37,869 --> 00:14:39,709 Speaker 1: and Maury every time we opened the doors were like, 275 00:14:39,909 --> 00:14:44,429 Speaker 1: palm one of the five foods she's done. This is 276 00:14:44,509 --> 00:14:49,989 Speaker 1: so bad your pin diet. She's been having bread and 277 00:14:50,069 --> 00:14:53,629 Speaker 1: shirts and trance. And then I opened the boot there 278 00:14:53,669 --> 00:14:56,669 Speaker 1: was a Journey nappy we'd left in there. That's disgusting. 279 00:14:57,349 --> 00:15:02,149 Speaker 1: So that's you are disgusting. Yeah. Luna inexplicably developed emotion 280 00:15:02,189 --> 00:15:04,669 Speaker 1: instagraund so every time we got the car, she just 281 00:15:04,709 --> 00:15:06,549 Speaker 1: vomited within two minutes and she was like, I get 282 00:15:06,549 --> 00:15:08,309 Speaker 1: sick in the car. I was like, you are eleven 283 00:15:08,309 --> 00:15:09,749 Speaker 1: months old. You did not get sick in the car 284 00:15:09,869 --> 00:15:14,749 Speaker 1: until right now she's like, I'm in can well, why 285 00:15:14,789 --> 00:15:19,109 Speaker 1: are you vomiting? Anyway, That is our brilliant advice for 286 00:15:19,269 --> 00:15:23,229 Speaker 1: our listener, and in fact, if you want some somewhat 287 00:15:23,229 --> 00:15:26,789 Speaker 1: helpful advice, which you know this won't be happening in 288 00:15:26,829 --> 00:15:28,749 Speaker 1: season two, so don't stress. But there is a link 289 00:15:28,909 --> 00:15:30,509 Speaker 1: in the show notes to a story I wrote on 290 00:15:30,589 --> 00:15:32,629 Speaker 1: site about some of the biggest mistakes that I made, 291 00:15:32,749 --> 00:15:34,829 Speaker 1: and some of that might actually be helpful to you. 292 00:15:35,349 --> 00:15:38,469 Speaker 1: But otherwise, go to Singapore and go on a roller 293 00:15:38,509 --> 00:15:42,749 Speaker 1: coat stuff. Yeah, yeah, the baby, I love the lions. Yeah, no, no, no, definitely, 294 00:15:43,269 --> 00:15:46,469 Speaker 1: And I think our advice is go, yeah, keep your 295 00:15:46,509 --> 00:15:51,629 Speaker 1: expectations on the floor. Yeah yeah, before we go, quick 296 00:15:51,629 --> 00:15:54,509 Speaker 1: horror story, as in, like I reckon, we should all 297 00:15:54,549 --> 00:15:58,469 Speaker 1: share our biggest horror story from traveling with babies. Okay, 298 00:15:58,789 --> 00:16:02,149 Speaker 1: I mean mine was obviously the flight home, which I 299 00:16:02,189 --> 00:16:04,269 Speaker 1: still have nightmare that I'm still on it. It's one 300 00:16:04,309 --> 00:16:05,949 Speaker 1: of the worst experiences of my life. I say, it's 301 00:16:05,949 --> 00:16:07,909 Speaker 1: worse than labor. I don't actually want to talk about it. 302 00:16:07,909 --> 00:16:11,949 Speaker 1: I can't talk about it. But going to Saint Trepe 303 00:16:12,069 --> 00:16:16,869 Speaker 1: dot dot dot emergency not a highlight, not a highlight. 304 00:16:17,069 --> 00:16:19,429 Speaker 1: First thing I saw in Saint Tropez, which I know 305 00:16:19,549 --> 00:16:23,269 Speaker 1: from a song? Maybe is this more like sand Trapez? Yeah, 306 00:16:23,309 --> 00:16:25,549 Speaker 1: I don't really understand how to say it, but maybe 307 00:16:25,589 --> 00:16:27,309 Speaker 1: I also know not from the fake Tan. Isn't there 308 00:16:27,309 --> 00:16:29,389 Speaker 1: a fake Tan called Sant Trapez?

We're waiting there, 329 00:17:30,309 --> 00:17:32,669 Speaker 1: La la la, Jeff to by Matilda to get No, No, 330 00:17:32,709 --> 00:17:38,029 Speaker 1: she's just an accessory. No. Yeah, Matilda has, as previously discussed, 331 00:17:38,349 --> 00:17:41,429 Speaker 1: honestly put on three killers on the plane. Matilda. I 332 00:17:41,429 --> 00:17:46,029 Speaker 1: think for context, Matilda ain't a small baby. She resembles 333 00:17:46,189 --> 00:17:50,069 Speaker 1: strongly humpty dumpty. I mean that with love. But she's 334 00:17:50,109 --> 00:17:52,709 Speaker 1: she's a heavy gal. She's thick. Yeah, she is thick 335 00:17:52,909 --> 00:17:57,429 Speaker 1: with a seat. And so this is this is relevant. 336 00:17:57,549 --> 00:18:01,749 Speaker 1: This is relevant because the tour guide arrives and he's like, hello, 337 00:18:02,349 --> 00:18:05,029 Speaker 1: during our tour of Dublin Castle. Can't bring a pram. 338 00:18:06,509 --> 00:18:09,749 Speaker 1: Oh you want me to hold it? Me to hold it? 339 00:18:10,349 --> 00:18:13,989 Speaker 1: Bring a carrier. It's so heavy. It's so heavy. And Matilda, 340 00:18:13,989 --> 00:18:17,309 Speaker 1: when she's held, thinks it's playtime. She's like, hey, mom, mum, mum, 341 00:18:17,629 --> 00:18:21,109 Speaker 1: I play with your glasses and your hair. Yeah, The 342 00:18:21,189 --> 00:18:23,309 Speaker 1: thing is, did you think the Dublin Castle was going 343 00:18:23,389 --> 00:18:26,709 Speaker 1: to have a lift. Yeah. In hindsight, I was like, true, 344 00:18:26,749 --> 00:18:29,389 Speaker 1: castles aren't known for their accessibility. No, they're not known 345 00:18:29,389 --> 00:18:32,069 Speaker 1: for their ramps. They're not known for being pran friendly. No. 346 00:18:32,389 --> 00:18:36,269 Speaker 1: So I had to carry her for this entire tour, 347 00:18:36,749 --> 00:18:39,829 Speaker 1: up and down very narrow. I mean these are stairs 348 00:18:40,029 --> 00:18:42,709 Speaker 1: for context. I don't know this, but stairs in castles 349 00:18:43,029 --> 00:18:45,589 Speaker 1: are like super narrow and made so that every single 350 00:18:45,669 --> 00:18:48,149 Speaker 1: stair is a different height. Yeah, to stop the enemy. 351 00:18:48,509 --> 00:18:50,789 Speaker 1: The enemy would stack it when they came in see 352 00:18:50,789 --> 00:18:53,869 Speaker 1: you and Matilda. So me and Matilda are like now 353 00:18:54,229 --> 00:18:57,589 Speaker 1: and Queen are like, I don't want that humpty dumpty 354 00:18:57,589 --> 00:19:00,549 Speaker 1: in this house. Yeah. And so you're tripping over every 355 00:19:00,589 --> 00:19:03,829 Speaker 1: step with a very heavy baby. So it was quite sketchy. 356 00:19:03,869 --> 00:19:07,189 Speaker 1: But then we got to quite a warm room. Uh huh. 357 00:19:07,229 --> 00:19:09,549 Speaker 1: She fell asleep on me. It was really cute. Oh wow, 358 00:19:09,629 --> 00:19:12,509 Speaker 1: she actually I was snoring. I felt disrespectful to the 359 00:19:12,549 --> 00:19:17,349 Speaker 1: tour guide. Yeah, but carrying a big old baby through 360 00:19:17,629 --> 00:19:20,229 Speaker 1: a tour that I thought was going to be relaxing, 361 00:19:22,269 --> 00:19:24,789 Speaker 1: it wasn't it.
