WEBVTT - Crap Advice: The Travel Experiment

0:00:10.829 --> 0:00:15.109
<v Speaker 1>So you're listening to a MoMA Mia podcast. Mom and

0:00:15.109 --> 0:00:18.429
<v Speaker 1>Maya acknowledges the traditional owners of land and waters that

0:00:18.509 --> 0:00:30.469
<v Speaker 1>this podcast is recorded on the Baby Bubble with Claire

0:00:30.509 --> 0:00:34.629
<v Speaker 1>and Jesse Stevens. It's definitely not a parenting advice podcast.

0:00:36.589 --> 0:00:41.749
<v Speaker 1>Hey mamas, Hey mamas, we've missed you. We've missed you

0:00:41.789 --> 0:00:44.989
<v Speaker 1>a lot, and we're just jumping in because we're never

0:00:45.069 --> 0:00:48.429
<v Speaker 1>short on advice. And the people have been desperate. They

0:00:48.549 --> 0:00:52.429
<v Speaker 1>have been running around with crying babies, holding them upside down.

0:00:52.469 --> 0:00:55.509
<v Speaker 1>Their babies haven't slept since our last episode, Claire, because

0:00:55.589 --> 0:00:58.189
<v Speaker 1>they need us to help, to help, they going, I

0:00:58.189 --> 0:01:00.469
<v Speaker 1>don't know what to do. I need you guys, and

0:01:00.509 --> 0:01:04.269
<v Speaker 1>it's a responsibility, but we have to do it. It's honestly,

0:01:04.309 --> 0:01:06.709
<v Speaker 1>it's enough pressure for me to keep my baby alive.

0:01:06.749 --> 0:01:09.709
<v Speaker 1>You're keeping your baby alive. I'm often keeping your baby alive,

0:01:09.709 --> 0:01:11.469
<v Speaker 1>and you'll keep my baby live, et cetera. But to

0:01:11.549 --> 0:01:15.949
<v Speaker 1>keep everyone's babies functioning is a lot. But it's a

0:01:15.949 --> 0:01:18.989
<v Speaker 1>burden that we carry on. The Baby Bubble is our

0:01:18.989 --> 0:01:22.669
<v Speaker 1>cross to bear. So before season two kicks off, it's imminent,

0:01:23.189 --> 0:01:26.269
<v Speaker 1>it's fun. We have some exciting things planned. We actually

0:01:26.309 --> 0:01:28.949
<v Speaker 1>do have some. We're very excited for it. That's in

0:01:28.989 --> 0:01:31.469
<v Speaker 1>a few weeks. We thought we'd address an urgent listener

0:01:31.509 --> 0:01:34.669
<v Speaker 1>dilemma that's come in and it was marked urgent, capital letters,

0:01:35.069 --> 0:01:37.509
<v Speaker 1>exclamation mark, urgent, urgent. We thought it was a legal letter.

0:01:38.109 --> 0:01:41.469
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't. That was a different email. But we feel

0:01:41.589 --> 0:01:44.589
<v Speaker 1>quite qualified to speak on this at the moment. We're

0:01:44.629 --> 0:01:49.269
<v Speaker 1>experts in a lot. We're particular experts in this crap

0:01:49.349 --> 0:01:57.629
<v Speaker 1>crap crap advice. You're ready for the dilemma, Claire, I

0:01:57.629 --> 0:01:59.829
<v Speaker 1>am ready for the dilemma. Go all right. It is

0:01:59.829 --> 0:02:03.109
<v Speaker 1>as follows. Hi, you too, if it's urgent. I don't

0:02:03.109 --> 0:02:05.549
<v Speaker 1>know why we've got preambled. I was like, just get

0:02:05.549 --> 0:02:08.589
<v Speaker 1>into it. Yeah, thanks so much for season one. You're

0:02:08.589 --> 0:02:11.549
<v Speaker 1>really delivered on being decided unhelpful and if anything, you

0:02:11.629 --> 0:02:14.109
<v Speaker 1>made me a worse parent, So thanks for that. No,

0:02:14.109 --> 0:02:17.349
<v Speaker 1>no worries anyway, I need some advice. We're here for you.

0:02:17.909 --> 0:02:20.589
<v Speaker 1>My wife is working a fair bit from Singapore at

0:02:20.629 --> 0:02:22.789
<v Speaker 1>the moment, and an opportunity has come up for me

0:02:22.829 --> 0:02:25.109
<v Speaker 1>to come over with our ten month old and stay

0:02:25.149 --> 0:02:28.109
<v Speaker 1>in a lovely hotel and do some sightseeing. While it

0:02:28.149 --> 0:02:31.589
<v Speaker 1>all sounds great. Because of her work schedule, I will

0:02:31.589 --> 0:02:33.989
<v Speaker 1>have to do the flight there and the flight back

0:02:34.069 --> 0:02:37.069
<v Speaker 1>on my own. We're not rich, so the flight will

0:02:37.069 --> 0:02:40.749
<v Speaker 1>be economy important note I really, I mean I didn't

0:02:40.789 --> 0:02:43.269
<v Speaker 1>assume it would be anything other than economy. Yeah, but

0:02:43.309 --> 0:02:46.029
<v Speaker 1>thank you for thank you, thank you. I think it

0:02:46.109 --> 0:02:49.069
<v Speaker 1>sounds fun, but it will also be hard work. Do

0:02:49.109 --> 0:02:52.069
<v Speaker 1>you honestly reckon it's worth it? Should I go or

0:02:52.229 --> 0:02:56.269
<v Speaker 1>just stay home where it's easier? Now, Jersey, we are

0:02:56.309 --> 0:03:00.229
<v Speaker 1>in a unique position to respond in that we have

0:03:00.269 --> 0:03:03.789
<v Speaker 1>our own plane, a private plane that takes us to

0:03:03.869 --> 0:03:07.589
<v Speaker 1>and from the Bahamas. Okay it doesn't, we don't. We

0:03:08.429 --> 0:03:11.549
<v Speaker 1>went on a holiday, yeah recently. Yeah, and you went

0:03:11.709 --> 0:03:14.789
<v Speaker 1>with your eleven month old and I went with my

0:03:14.829 --> 0:03:18.429
<v Speaker 1>five month old, and we had two very very different experiences.

0:03:18.909 --> 0:03:22.709
<v Speaker 1>Because of that, some might say small age gap, not

0:03:22.829 --> 0:03:25.589
<v Speaker 1>a small age gap when you're traveling, and you say

0:03:25.629 --> 0:03:28.509
<v Speaker 1>the difference is so, Jess, you're probably in a very

0:03:28.749 --> 0:03:31.789
<v Speaker 1>good position to talk specifically about the ten month old

0:03:31.869 --> 0:03:34.829
<v Speaker 1>element of this dilemma. Well, I'm going to jump right

0:03:34.869 --> 0:03:38.269
<v Speaker 1>into it because I have done a flight on my own,

0:03:38.709 --> 0:03:41.229
<v Speaker 1>and I am going to tell you what you're going

0:03:41.309 --> 0:03:44.069
<v Speaker 1>to do. About the flight, because that's first and foremost

0:03:44.149 --> 0:03:46.069
<v Speaker 1>what we're going to do. I think it's like eight

0:03:46.149 --> 0:03:48.349
<v Speaker 1>hours from Sydney. It's like eight hours and twenty five minutes.

0:03:48.389 --> 0:03:50.469
<v Speaker 1>I looked it up to Singapore and one flight and

0:03:50.509 --> 0:03:52.349
<v Speaker 1>one flight and eight hours and twenty five backs. So

0:03:52.349 --> 0:03:54.749
<v Speaker 1>we're talking six tonight. We're talking seventy eight hours. I

0:03:54.749 --> 0:03:58.069
<v Speaker 1>have a solution on the flight front. Got it. At first,

0:03:58.469 --> 0:04:01.069
<v Speaker 1>I was worried that in order for this solution to work,

0:04:01.669 --> 0:04:03.829
<v Speaker 1>her baby needed to walk, and the average ten month

0:04:03.829 --> 0:04:07.669
<v Speaker 1>old can't walk. But it's okay, crawl role doesn't matter.

0:04:08.189 --> 0:04:11.869
<v Speaker 1>This is what I need. You go towards your boarding gate.

0:04:12.989 --> 0:04:15.629
<v Speaker 1>You put your baby on its side, and you roll

0:04:15.629 --> 0:04:18.869
<v Speaker 1>it onto the plane. Oh wow, okay, so you roll

0:04:18.949 --> 0:04:22.389
<v Speaker 1>the baby onto the plane. I'll throw a toy. I'll

0:04:22.429 --> 0:04:24.949
<v Speaker 1>throw a toy. Joe, go catch her, catch you walk away?

0:04:25.469 --> 0:04:32.229
<v Speaker 1>Oh wow. So baby's borded the flight, baby's boarded, doors closed. Hm, okay, problem,

0:04:32.629 --> 0:04:35.509
<v Speaker 1>baby can't hold baby's ticket. Baby's gonna lose baby's ticket.

0:04:35.629 --> 0:04:37.309
<v Speaker 1>Oh stick it to its head. Oh okay, yeah, okay,

0:04:37.349 --> 0:04:39.869
<v Speaker 1>so you've stuck the boarding pass to it and passport

0:04:40.229 --> 0:04:43.149
<v Speaker 1>and yeah, yeah, put it and it's snappy sticking out. Yeah.

0:04:43.229 --> 0:04:44.629
<v Speaker 1>In fact, I think I told you I went through

0:04:44.629 --> 0:04:46.909
<v Speaker 1>security once couldn't find my passport. Look down, Luna was

0:04:46.949 --> 0:04:48.429
<v Speaker 1>holding it. I was like, I don't know where you

0:04:48.509 --> 0:04:50.309
<v Speaker 1>got that. But they're actually good with gripping things that

0:04:50.309 --> 0:04:52.509
<v Speaker 1>they're not meant to hold. So baby's probably crawling with

0:04:52.629 --> 0:04:56.949
<v Speaker 1>passport boarding pass stuck to head. Baby's on plane. This

0:04:56.989 --> 0:05:00.429
<v Speaker 1>is officially someone else's problem. What you do is you

0:05:00.469 --> 0:05:04.509
<v Speaker 1>go and get a slightly later flight to Singapore, meet

0:05:04.509 --> 0:05:08.349
<v Speaker 1>the baby at baggage, right, and then what you do

0:05:08.429 --> 0:05:09.989
<v Speaker 1>is when your partner picks you up at the other end,

0:05:10.869 --> 0:05:13.629
<v Speaker 1>you go, we've done the whole flight together. Actually tired,

0:05:14.389 --> 0:05:17.629
<v Speaker 1>you're O judy, Yeah, indefinitely, and do the same on

0:05:17.669 --> 0:05:20.309
<v Speaker 1>the way back. Love it now, backup option if that

0:05:20.349 --> 0:05:22.629
<v Speaker 1>doesn't want because you might roll the baby, and the

0:05:22.669 --> 0:05:25.829
<v Speaker 1>baby might roll in a weird direction and not make

0:05:25.869 --> 0:05:28.629
<v Speaker 1>it and not make the flight. Yeah, I've got a question,

0:05:28.749 --> 0:05:32.149
<v Speaker 1>because okay, all right, this is what you do. You

0:05:32.189 --> 0:05:35.709
<v Speaker 1>give your baby to a stranger and say, nice looking,

0:05:35.909 --> 0:05:41.069
<v Speaker 1>not any on the plane, in the line on the plane, Yeah,

0:05:41.149 --> 0:05:44.229
<v Speaker 1>nice looking stranger, not anyone. We're not irresponsible like a

0:05:44.309 --> 0:05:47.829
<v Speaker 1>grandma and you say, I'm traveling on my own. Would

0:05:47.909 --> 0:05:50.309
<v Speaker 1>you mind just holding my baby while I go to

0:05:50.349 --> 0:05:54.749
<v Speaker 1>the bathroom. Yeah, I've seen it. Catch me if you

0:05:54.789 --> 0:05:58.669
<v Speaker 1>can that. Apparently you can escape a plane via the bathroom.

0:05:59.549 --> 0:06:01.629
<v Speaker 1>Really in that movie he does it, He gets out

0:06:01.669 --> 0:06:03.029
<v Speaker 1>the bottom of the plane. Because I thus, if they're

0:06:03.029 --> 0:06:04.709
<v Speaker 1>still boarding, you could just walk out. I think you

0:06:04.709 --> 0:06:07.869
<v Speaker 1>could also just walk out. The thing is you asked

0:06:07.949 --> 0:06:11.229
<v Speaker 1>them to mind your baby. You didn't say, and it's

0:06:11.269 --> 0:06:14.549
<v Speaker 1>on them. Yeah, that's called responsibility. It's how the social

0:06:14.589 --> 0:06:16.669
<v Speaker 1>contract works. I don't make the rules, but they are

0:06:16.669 --> 0:06:19.229
<v Speaker 1>looking after that baby for eight hours and twenty five minutes.

0:06:19.229 --> 0:06:21.149
<v Speaker 1>What are they going to do? Just put it down

0:06:21.229 --> 0:06:23.549
<v Speaker 1>and ignore it now, it would be really irresponsible. Yeah,

0:06:23.589 --> 0:06:26.429
<v Speaker 1>so then you obviously pick baby up at baggage carousel,

0:06:27.269 --> 0:06:28.709
<v Speaker 1>go on with your life. It's actually really good for

0:06:28.709 --> 0:06:33.229
<v Speaker 1>their independence. Discussion. Yeah, I do. In Vizige, the baby

0:06:33.309 --> 0:06:36.429
<v Speaker 1>coming out on the baggage carousel. Yeah, as though it

0:06:36.589 --> 0:06:38.549
<v Speaker 1>is a piece of luggage. Well that's a bit of fun.

0:06:39.069 --> 0:06:42.309
<v Speaker 1>You could say to the person. Maybe you do tuck

0:06:42.349 --> 0:06:44.389
<v Speaker 1>a note into the nappy so when they change the nappy,

0:06:44.509 --> 0:06:47.389
<v Speaker 1>just be like, meet me at baggage carousel too. Luckily,

0:06:47.469 --> 0:06:49.309
<v Speaker 1>I have a way better advice okay than you do.

0:06:50.189 --> 0:06:55.229
<v Speaker 1>Planes need a crash, Oh yeah, genuine one. I don't

0:06:55.269 --> 0:06:58.869
<v Speaker 1>know who would voluntarily do that job, but maybe if

0:06:58.869 --> 0:07:01.549
<v Speaker 1>you paid them one million dollars a year, you might

0:07:01.589 --> 0:07:04.709
<v Speaker 1>find one person who would mind all the babies. So

0:07:04.749 --> 0:07:08.029
<v Speaker 1>there's this thing online and this is unfortunately potentially helpful.

0:07:08.029 --> 0:07:09.629
<v Speaker 1>So I'm flagging that you can skip ahead if you

0:07:09.629 --> 0:07:12.509
<v Speaker 1>don't want it. If not, there is a thing. It

0:07:12.589 --> 0:07:15.709
<v Speaker 1>is called something I've forgotten, and what it is is

0:07:15.749 --> 0:07:19.589
<v Speaker 1>it gets young travelers who want to make money like

0:07:19.709 --> 0:07:21.749
<v Speaker 1>while they're away this. I know two people who have

0:07:21.789 --> 0:07:24.349
<v Speaker 1>just done this, say I'm going to Europe, and it

0:07:24.469 --> 0:07:27.349
<v Speaker 1>pairs them up with someone who needs special assistance on

0:07:27.989 --> 0:07:31.349
<v Speaker 1>a flight. So maybe you're someone who's like you're slightly unwell,

0:07:31.669 --> 0:07:34.269
<v Speaker 1>or you've broken your leg, or you've got babies that

0:07:34.309 --> 0:07:37.029
<v Speaker 1>you need help with. You're paired up with someone you

0:07:37.069 --> 0:07:39.549
<v Speaker 1>then make an agreement about I'm going to pay you

0:07:39.629 --> 0:07:41.669
<v Speaker 1>five hundred bucks to help me look after my baby

0:07:41.669 --> 0:07:43.749
<v Speaker 1>on the flight. That's a lot of money. No, I've

0:07:43.749 --> 0:07:45.789
<v Speaker 1>just pulled that out of my arm, but like any amount,

0:07:46.069 --> 0:07:48.149
<v Speaker 1>and then they agree to it. Okay. So it's a

0:07:48.229 --> 0:07:50.309
<v Speaker 1>thing that's set up. It's called like Juno or jung

0:07:50.469 --> 0:07:52.869
<v Speaker 1>or something. Okay. The problem is you're still on the

0:07:52.869 --> 0:07:56.029
<v Speaker 1>flight with your baby, yeah, and you feel like somewhat

0:07:56.069 --> 0:08:00.989
<v Speaker 1>obligating you. Yeah. The idea of the crache is, you know,

0:08:01.109 --> 0:08:03.909
<v Speaker 1>kind of in the old days, planes used to have

0:08:03.989 --> 0:08:07.029
<v Speaker 1>like a different setup. They'd have just like a table

0:08:07.069 --> 0:08:10.629
<v Speaker 1>and chairs. You know, you see a photo you see

0:08:10.669 --> 0:08:14.389
<v Speaker 1>you're thinking of a train. You see photos of old

0:08:14.469 --> 0:08:17.429
<v Speaker 1>style planes. I'm not convened, and they were different, and

0:08:17.469 --> 0:08:20.149
<v Speaker 1>so I just think that they're looking know that there

0:08:20.309 --> 0:08:24.589
<v Speaker 1>is room for a crage if they knock out first class.

0:08:24.789 --> 0:08:28.589
<v Speaker 1>TikTok knows. I am particularly interested in watching like first

0:08:28.589 --> 0:08:31.429
<v Speaker 1>class cabins of ridiculous planes. And there's ones that are

0:08:31.509 --> 0:08:33.669
<v Speaker 1>like a lot of square feet and it has a

0:08:33.669 --> 0:08:35.349
<v Speaker 1>double bed and blah blah blah. Like, tell me that

0:08:35.429 --> 0:08:37.549
<v Speaker 1>one of those couldn't be a crash. Yeah, exactly, they

0:08:37.549 --> 0:08:39.069
<v Speaker 1>need to be a crash. These are the things that

0:08:39.109 --> 0:08:41.549
<v Speaker 1>don't make sense that then support why the cration needs

0:08:41.549 --> 0:08:44.069
<v Speaker 1>to happen. So they want you to put the baby

0:08:44.109 --> 0:08:47.709
<v Speaker 1>on your lab and use the baby seat belt, which

0:08:47.749 --> 0:08:50.269
<v Speaker 1>would be fine. But I don't know if they've ever

0:08:50.349 --> 0:08:52.749
<v Speaker 1>met a baby. But baby doesn't want to sit on

0:08:52.749 --> 0:08:56.189
<v Speaker 1>my lap ever ever, not at a cafe, not on

0:08:56.189 --> 0:08:58.469
<v Speaker 1>my lounge in my own home for thirty seconds. So

0:08:58.469 --> 0:09:02.949
<v Speaker 1>this is hugely dangerous. Then they've got the basinets you

0:09:02.989 --> 0:09:05.629
<v Speaker 1>can book like a bassinet seat where the bassinet is

0:09:05.629 --> 0:09:08.229
<v Speaker 1>in front of you. Baby doesn't fit well. Sometimes baby

0:09:08.229 --> 0:09:10.349
<v Speaker 1>doesn't fit. A baby doesn't fit. I've never known baby

0:09:10.429 --> 0:09:13.949
<v Speaker 1>fit well. Matilda fit. She fit on a okay, okay,

0:09:13.989 --> 0:09:18.869
<v Speaker 1>So she slept in the bascinet. Yeah, lovely, okay, But

0:09:19.589 --> 0:09:22.789
<v Speaker 1>when there's turbulence, take got to take them out. And

0:09:22.829 --> 0:09:25.549
<v Speaker 1>so baby's fast asleep in the basinet and it's like

0:09:25.629 --> 0:09:29.629
<v Speaker 1>bing bong and take your baby out. So I'm gonna

0:09:29.669 --> 0:09:31.549
<v Speaker 1>wake her up and she's not going to go back

0:09:31.549 --> 0:09:34.469
<v Speaker 1>to sleep for three hours. And the thing is, I'm sorry,

0:09:34.509 --> 0:09:36.429
<v Speaker 1>do you think that she's safe in my lap for

0:09:36.429 --> 0:09:38.869
<v Speaker 1>the turbulence? That's the thing. Because the bassinet has a

0:09:38.909 --> 0:09:43.069
<v Speaker 1>strap over it, it's fine. I also think that maybe

0:09:43.109 --> 0:09:45.709
<v Speaker 1>on planes they a little bit make up rules as

0:09:45.749 --> 0:09:49.429
<v Speaker 1>they go. I agree. I haven't told you this, but

0:09:49.549 --> 0:09:52.549
<v Speaker 1>on the flight home from Europe, we'd already been in

0:09:52.589 --> 0:09:55.549
<v Speaker 1>transit for seventy two days. People start doing weird shit

0:09:55.669 --> 0:09:58.469
<v Speaker 1>and it's fine. Matilda was asleep in her basinet. Yeah,

0:09:58.589 --> 0:10:01.029
<v Speaker 1>I had the cozy Go, which again I'm sorry, it's

0:10:01.029 --> 0:10:04.949
<v Speaker 1>an actual recommendation. It's like a bacinet cover goes it

0:10:05.069 --> 0:10:08.149
<v Speaker 1>like clips to the sided basnet. She's sleeping like a dream.

0:10:08.789 --> 0:10:12.709
<v Speaker 1>I'm dozing. My partners just dozing. We're like, holy shit,

0:10:12.829 --> 0:10:16.269
<v Speaker 1>we almost went great gray. Yeah, but we're gonna get

0:10:16.309 --> 0:10:21.349
<v Speaker 1>some good rest. Then I get working aggressively by flight attendant.

0:10:21.869 --> 0:10:23.589
<v Speaker 1>He's like, excuse me, you need to take that off

0:10:23.589 --> 0:10:27.229
<v Speaker 1>the basinet, the cozy go. Yeah. I'm like, this happened

0:10:27.229 --> 0:10:30.589
<v Speaker 1>on my fly. This woman was like, yes, got told

0:10:30.589 --> 0:10:32.189
<v Speaker 1>by a flight attendant you need to take this off.

0:10:32.189 --> 0:10:33.989
<v Speaker 1>And she's like no, I'm sorry, but no I don't.

0:10:34.469 --> 0:10:36.949
<v Speaker 1>And it was like a full and the woman heard

0:10:36.989 --> 0:10:40.029
<v Speaker 1>the cozy girl was right. She's like, just take it off. Why?

0:10:40.349 --> 0:10:42.309
<v Speaker 1>And I'm a rule followers. I'm like, oh, I know,

0:10:42.349 --> 0:10:43.989
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to take it off. But I was like,

0:10:44.029 --> 0:10:48.829
<v Speaker 1>just typically, you want me to intentionally wake my sleeping baby. Yeah,

0:10:48.909 --> 0:10:51.789
<v Speaker 1>and the lights are on, so she's definitely gonna wake up. Yeah.

0:10:51.949 --> 0:10:56.509
<v Speaker 1>It's like everyone's fine, she's fine. That cranky man behind

0:10:56.549 --> 0:11:01.029
<v Speaker 1>me is fine. I mean, I would never criticize flight attendants.

0:11:01.389 --> 0:11:03.629
<v Speaker 1>I think that they do God's work and ninety nine

0:11:03.629 --> 0:11:05.389
<v Speaker 1>percent of them are great. But even flight attendants are

0:11:05.429 --> 0:11:07.909
<v Speaker 1>with me on this. Yeah, on every flight, there's one

0:11:08.069 --> 0:11:11.509
<v Speaker 1>and she is making up rules, and she's walking through

0:11:11.549 --> 0:11:14.429
<v Speaker 1>the corridors and things are quiet for a moment, and

0:11:14.469 --> 0:11:16.509
<v Speaker 1>she says, open your window. You're like, we're not landing.

0:11:17.269 --> 0:11:19.789
<v Speaker 1>We're not landing, you know. I don't know if I

0:11:19.829 --> 0:11:22.269
<v Speaker 1>told you this, but I had my seat reclined. It

0:11:22.309 --> 0:11:25.269
<v Speaker 1>was two am, liked by time, and I had my

0:11:25.309 --> 0:11:27.869
<v Speaker 1>seat reclined, and I was made to put my seat

0:11:27.949 --> 0:11:29.709
<v Speaker 1>up every time the person behind me wanted to eat.

0:11:30.029 --> 0:11:31.669
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, don't you got it. I knew that you

0:11:31.709 --> 0:11:33.349
<v Speaker 1>got to do that. No one else on the flight

0:11:33.389 --> 0:11:35.669
<v Speaker 1>had to do it. I was watching, you gotta do that.

0:11:36.349 --> 0:11:39.189
<v Speaker 1>You can't be reclining your seat during real time. It's

0:11:39.189 --> 0:11:46.469
<v Speaker 1>two am. No one wants, no one wants breakfast. Okay, yeah, okay,

0:11:46.549 --> 0:11:49.149
<v Speaker 1>you can eat. Anyone can eat with your flight. I

0:11:49.229 --> 0:11:51.589
<v Speaker 1>was looking around everyone's seats, a fully reclined you can eat.

0:11:52.509 --> 0:11:55.509
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, we're not putting all things back up. We're not.

0:11:55.869 --> 0:12:01.989
<v Speaker 1>I got yelled at by a cranky multiple times. Was

0:12:02.189 --> 0:12:05.709
<v Speaker 1>if you make me wake up Matilda, she's gonna scream.

0:12:05.909 --> 0:12:10.549
<v Speaker 1>It's do you want to settle her? And you, I think, Baby,

0:12:10.949 --> 0:12:14.589
<v Speaker 1>you start an impromptu crash on board. So you find

0:12:14.589 --> 0:12:18.309
<v Speaker 1>a mum who looks like she's handling it just okay.

0:12:18.469 --> 0:12:20.869
<v Speaker 1>Always she's gone to two kids, she's got to she together,

0:12:20.869 --> 0:12:23.589
<v Speaker 1>she's ready for the flight. Yeah, and you go in

0:12:23.669 --> 0:12:26.349
<v Speaker 1>your mind, my baby for a second, you run, oh yeah,

0:12:26.389 --> 0:12:29.189
<v Speaker 1>so we're similar here. Yeah, you run off the flight. Yeah,

0:12:29.269 --> 0:12:31.589
<v Speaker 1>they're still boarding other people and you say, sorry, sorry,

0:12:32.069 --> 0:12:34.549
<v Speaker 1>I just dropped something around the corner. Okay, and you leave.

0:12:34.989 --> 0:12:36.989
<v Speaker 1>That's just my idea. Yeah I know, but I'm saying

0:12:38.109 --> 0:12:42.429
<v Speaker 1>impromptued crash is my bit baby with stranger, which is

0:12:42.469 --> 0:12:46.269
<v Speaker 1>my idea. Yeah. Well, anyway, that woman with two kids

0:12:46.269 --> 0:12:49.909
<v Speaker 1>is now running crash knowingly. Okay, I have another thing

0:12:50.229 --> 0:12:52.029
<v Speaker 1>because once we're done with the flight, which I think

0:12:52.029 --> 0:12:54.749
<v Speaker 1>we've more than sorted or in Singapore, and it's time

0:12:54.749 --> 0:12:57.589
<v Speaker 1>to do some activities. Yeah, we've been to Singapore. Really

0:12:57.669 --> 0:12:59.829
<v Speaker 1>enjoyed it, loved it. A couple of recommendation loved the

0:12:59.909 --> 0:13:03.869
<v Speaker 1>Night Night Zoo. Baby will love it our Universal Studios.

0:13:03.909 --> 0:13:07.869
<v Speaker 1>Well that's my other thing, baby buzzkill Universal Studios only

0:13:07.909 --> 0:13:11.669
<v Speaker 1>notes I wrote on this whole episode. So I did

0:13:12.229 --> 0:13:15.349
<v Speaker 1>put baby in teacups. You know the teacups ride that

0:13:15.509 --> 0:13:17.309
<v Speaker 1>just goes around. Put baby in teacups for a couple

0:13:17.349 --> 0:13:19.949
<v Speaker 1>of hours. You go, do your rollercoasters. Come back, you'll

0:13:19.989 --> 0:13:22.829
<v Speaker 1>sleep in teacups. Yeah, have a little giggle. Baby can

0:13:22.869 --> 0:13:26.109
<v Speaker 1>feed themselves a bottle at that stage. You're good. Yeah, fine,

0:13:26.229 --> 0:13:30.509
<v Speaker 1>absolutely fine. I will say. Just something to be aware

0:13:30.549 --> 0:13:34.109
<v Speaker 1>of is that babies are un predictable. When they go overseas,

0:13:34.149 --> 0:13:36.869
<v Speaker 1>they start being a different baby. Yes, for reasons. They

0:13:36.909 --> 0:13:40.629
<v Speaker 1>can't tell you your baby turned into an angel. Weird. Yeah,

0:13:40.669 --> 0:13:44.669
<v Speaker 1>well things Matilda started doing for literally no reason while

0:13:44.709 --> 0:13:50.069
<v Speaker 1>we were traveling, pooing five times a day, despising her

0:13:50.109 --> 0:13:53.989
<v Speaker 1>car seat, sometimes doing one times, vomit all over me

0:13:54.109 --> 0:13:58.029
<v Speaker 1>at three am, drinking more milk than a baby can

0:13:58.149 --> 0:14:02.509
<v Speaker 1>safely honestly drink. Yeah, for the way over there, I

0:14:02.669 --> 0:14:05.749
<v Speaker 1>prepped bottles for what she would usually consume in that time,

0:14:05.789 --> 0:14:08.029
<v Speaker 1>so say it was like seven bottles by the time

0:14:08.109 --> 0:14:10.749
<v Speaker 1>we got to doa which was where we were doing

0:14:10.749 --> 0:14:14.789
<v Speaker 1>out connecting flight. She'd had them all. Yeah, that was

0:14:14.789 --> 0:14:17.509
<v Speaker 1>an issue. It was actually really really stressful. Also, I

0:14:17.549 --> 0:14:19.909
<v Speaker 1>hope the rental car company isn't listening to this. But

0:14:19.989 --> 0:14:23.229
<v Speaker 1>we had a car and a couple of days into it,

0:14:23.389 --> 0:14:26.389
<v Speaker 1>we were like, oh, Matilda must have shat in her

0:14:26.429 --> 0:14:29.949
<v Speaker 1>car seat because it smells in here. On. I think

0:14:29.989 --> 0:14:31.789
<v Speaker 1>they've got to be expecting that. Yeah, if you've got

0:14:31.789 --> 0:14:33.749
<v Speaker 1>a car seat, you're if it's not ship and it's

0:14:33.749 --> 0:14:36.149
<v Speaker 1>not ramited, it's both. Yeah yeah, yeah, Well I was like, oh,

0:14:36.189 --> 0:14:37.869
<v Speaker 1>she cleared down a bit of a poop. So me

0:14:37.869 --> 0:14:39.709
<v Speaker 1>and Maury every time we opened the doors were like,

0:14:39.909 --> 0:14:44.429
<v Speaker 1>palm one of the five foods she's done. This is

0:14:44.509 --> 0:14:49.989
<v Speaker 1>so bad your pin diet. She's been having bread and

0:14:50.069 --> 0:14:53.629
<v Speaker 1>shirts and trance. And then I opened the boot there

0:14:53.669 --> 0:14:56.669
<v Speaker 1>was a Journey nappy we'd left in there. That's disgusting.

0:14:57.349 --> 0:15:02.149
<v Speaker 1>So that's you are disgusting. Yeah. Luna inexplicably developed emotion

0:15:02.189 --> 0:15:04.669
<v Speaker 1>instagraund so every time we got the car, she just

0:15:04.709 --> 0:15:06.549
<v Speaker 1>vomited within two minutes and she was like, I get

0:15:06.549 --> 0:15:08.309
<v Speaker 1>sick in the car. I was like, you are eleven

0:15:08.309 --> 0:15:09.749
<v Speaker 1>months old. You did not get sick in the car

0:15:09.869 --> 0:15:14.749
<v Speaker 1>until right now she's like, I'm in can well, why

0:15:14.789 --> 0:15:19.109
<v Speaker 1>are you vomiting? Anyway, That is our brilliant advice for

0:15:19.269 --> 0:15:23.229
<v Speaker 1>our listener, and in fact, if you want some somewhat

0:15:23.229 --> 0:15:26.789
<v Speaker 1>helpful advice, which you know this won't be happening in

0:15:26.829 --> 0:15:28.749
<v Speaker 1>season two, so don't stress. But there is a link

0:15:28.909 --> 0:15:30.509
<v Speaker 1>in the show notes to a story I wrote on

0:15:30.589 --> 0:15:32.629
<v Speaker 1>site about some of the biggest mistakes that I made,

0:15:32.749 --> 0:15:34.829
<v Speaker 1>and some of that might actually be helpful to you.

0:15:35.349 --> 0:15:38.469
<v Speaker 1>But otherwise, go to Singapore and go on a roller

0:15:38.509 --> 0:15:42.749
<v Speaker 1>coat stuff. Yeah, yeah, the baby, I love the lions. Yeah, no, no, no, definitely,

0:15:43.269 --> 0:15:46.469
<v Speaker 1>And I think our advice is go, yeah, keep your

0:15:46.509 --> 0:15:51.629
<v Speaker 1>expectations on the floor. Yeah yeah, before we go, quick

0:15:51.629 --> 0:15:54.509
<v Speaker 1>horror story, as in, like I reckon, we should all

0:15:54.549 --> 0:15:58.469
<v Speaker 1>share our biggest horror story from traveling with babies. Okay,

0:15:58.789 --> 0:16:02.149
<v Speaker 1>I mean mine was obviously the flight home, which I

0:16:02.189 --> 0:16:04.269
<v Speaker 1>still have nightmare that I'm still on it. It's one

0:16:04.309 --> 0:16:05.949
<v Speaker 1>of the worst experiences of my life. I say, it's

0:16:05.949 --> 0:16:07.909
<v Speaker 1>worse than labor. I don't actually want to talk about it.

0:16:07.909 --> 0:16:11.949
<v Speaker 1>I can't talk about it. But going to Saint Trepe

0:16:12.069 --> 0:16:16.869
<v Speaker 1>dot dot dot emergency not a highlight, not a highlight.

0:16:17.069 --> 0:16:19.429
<v Speaker 1>First thing I saw in Saint Tropez, which I know

0:16:19.549 --> 0:16:23.269
<v Speaker 1>from a song? Maybe is this more like sand Trapez? Yeah,

0:16:23.309 --> 0:16:25.549
<v Speaker 1>I don't really understand how to say it, but maybe

0:16:25.589 --> 0:16:27.309
<v Speaker 1>I also know not from the fake Tan. Isn't there

0:16:27.309 --> 0:16:29.389
<v Speaker 1>a fake Tan called Sant Trapez? I don't know, but

0:16:29.429 --> 0:16:32.189
<v Speaker 1>like that's not really what you know, cra I just

0:16:32.309 --> 0:16:35.149
<v Speaker 1>know that Leonardo DiCaprio is on a boat around the corner.

0:16:35.389 --> 0:16:37.509
<v Speaker 1>I just know that. We got to santra Pez and

0:16:37.549 --> 0:16:39.469
<v Speaker 1>my dad pointed to a yacht and said, that's the

0:16:39.469 --> 0:16:41.309
<v Speaker 1>one from below deck. And I was like, how do

0:16:41.429 --> 0:16:43.749
<v Speaker 1>you know about below deck? And he's like, I've seen

0:16:43.789 --> 0:16:45.269
<v Speaker 1>all of it, and he was right, there was a

0:16:45.309 --> 0:16:48.709
<v Speaker 1>pull on it. Anyway, you were there doing some Leo

0:16:48.789 --> 0:16:51.749
<v Speaker 1>spotting with a younger girlfriend. Where was I? In emergency

0:16:51.949 --> 0:16:55.829
<v Speaker 1>in Saint Tropez because a little Luruna did have a

0:16:55.989 --> 0:16:58.229
<v Speaker 1>cough that was so bad we thought it was an

0:16:58.349 --> 0:17:02.309
<v Speaker 1>RSV type situation. She ended up on antibiotics. It was

0:17:02.349 --> 0:17:05.149
<v Speaker 1>a whole thing. The doctors went in and did sing

0:17:05.189 --> 0:17:08.029
<v Speaker 1>her French nursery ralms. It was actually really cute, but

0:17:08.109 --> 0:17:10.109
<v Speaker 1>that was definitely a low point. How about you Horas Store.

0:17:10.109 --> 0:17:14.029
<v Speaker 1>Sorry from travel. So I'm in Dublin and I'm at

0:17:14.069 --> 0:17:17.909
<v Speaker 1>Dublin Castle and I want to do a tour of

0:17:17.909 --> 0:17:21.269
<v Speaker 1>the castle. Yeah. I love history castles. This is great fun.

0:17:21.469 --> 0:17:26.069
<v Speaker 1>It's me Matilda, Mum vibeiconic girls, stay out. Yeah, girl's

0:17:26.109 --> 0:17:30.229
<v Speaker 1>gone wild. Yeah. Then we buy the tickets. We're waiting there,

0:17:30.309 --> 0:17:32.669
<v Speaker 1>La la la, Jeff to by Matilda to get No, No,

0:17:32.709 --> 0:17:38.029
<v Speaker 1>she's just an accessory. No. Yeah, Matilda has, as previously discussed,

0:17:38.349 --> 0:17:41.429
<v Speaker 1>honestly put on three killers on the plane. Matilda. I

0:17:41.429 --> 0:17:46.029
<v Speaker 1>think for context, Matilda ain't a small baby. She resembles

0:17:46.189 --> 0:17:50.069
<v Speaker 1>strongly humpty dumpty. I mean that with love. But she's

0:17:50.109 --> 0:17:52.709
<v Speaker 1>she's a heavy gal. She's thick. Yeah, she is thick

0:17:52.909 --> 0:17:57.429
<v Speaker 1>with a seat. And so this is this is relevant.

0:17:57.549 --> 0:18:01.749
<v Speaker 1>This is relevant because the tour guide arrives and he's like, hello,

0:18:02.349 --> 0:18:05.029
<v Speaker 1>during our tour of Dublin Castle. Can't bring a pram.

0:18:06.509 --> 0:18:09.749
<v Speaker 1>Oh you want me to hold it? Me to hold it?

0:18:10.349 --> 0:18:13.989
<v Speaker 1>Bring a carrier. It's so heavy. It's so heavy. And Matilda,

0:18:13.989 --> 0:18:17.309
<v Speaker 1>when she's held, thinks it's playtime. She's like, hey, mom, mum, mum,

0:18:17.629 --> 0:18:21.109
<v Speaker 1>I play with your glasses and your hair. Yeah, The

0:18:21.189 --> 0:18:23.309
<v Speaker 1>thing is, did you think the Dublin Castle was going

0:18:23.389 --> 0:18:26.709
<v Speaker 1>to have a lift. Yeah. In hindsight, I was like, true,

0:18:26.749 --> 0:18:29.389
<v Speaker 1>castles aren't known for their accessibility. No, they're not known

0:18:29.389 --> 0:18:32.069
<v Speaker 1>for their ramps. They're not known for being pran friendly. No.

0:18:32.389 --> 0:18:36.269
<v Speaker 1>So I had to carry her for this entire tour,

0:18:36.749 --> 0:18:39.829
<v Speaker 1>up and down very narrow. I mean these are stairs

0:18:40.029 --> 0:18:42.709
<v Speaker 1>for context. I don't know this, but stairs in castles

0:18:43.029 --> 0:18:45.589
<v Speaker 1>are like super narrow and made so that every single

0:18:45.669 --> 0:18:48.149
<v Speaker 1>stair is a different height. Yeah, to stop the enemy.

0:18:48.509 --> 0:18:50.789
<v Speaker 1>The enemy would stack it when they came in see

0:18:50.789 --> 0:18:53.869
<v Speaker 1>you and Matilda. So me and Matilda are like now

0:18:54.229 --> 0:18:57.589
<v Speaker 1>and Queen are like, I don't want that humpty dumpty

0:18:57.589 --> 0:19:00.549
<v Speaker 1>in this house. Yeah. And so you're tripping over every

0:19:00.589 --> 0:19:03.829
<v Speaker 1>step with a very heavy baby. So it was quite sketchy.

0:19:03.869 --> 0:19:07.189
<v Speaker 1>But then we got to quite a warm room. Uh huh.

0:19:07.229 --> 0:19:09.549
<v Speaker 1>She fell asleep on me. It was really cute. Oh wow,

0:19:09.629 --> 0:19:12.509
<v Speaker 1>she actually I was snoring. I felt disrespectful to the

0:19:12.549 --> 0:19:17.349
<v Speaker 1>tour guide. Yeah, but carrying a big old baby through

0:19:17.629 --> 0:19:20.229
<v Speaker 1>a tour that I thought was going to be relaxing,

0:19:22.269 --> 0:19:24.789
<v Speaker 1>it wasn't it. We will be back in your ears

0:19:24.789 --> 0:19:28.349
