But the other day, 170 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 4: her boyfriend's mom was over and Erica overheard a conversation 171 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 4: via baby monitor that her maybe future mom in law 172 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,360 Speaker 4: does not want her coming over for Christmas this year. 173 00:07:56,120 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 4: The reason apparently, she eats all the snacks, scares all 174 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 4: the kids, and it's too loud. At least that's what 175 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 4: she heard. 176 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 5: From the mounds like the cookie monster. 177 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 4: And obviously that's a tough thing to hear. So she's 178 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 4: not spoken to her boyfriend about this yet, which is 179 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 4: why she's asked us to give her a little bit 180 00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 4: of advice before she reaches out to him, and look, 181 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,560 Speaker 4: nobody understands what it's like to spend the holidays with 182 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,559 Speaker 4: an in law who doesn't really like you more than Brooke. 183 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 5: Oh dudness. 184 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 4: So Brooke, you are the right person to ask advice 185 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 4: for here. What do you got? 186 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 5: Well? 187 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 1: First, Erica, I just gotta say you are not alone. 188 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 1: There has not been a mother in law in the 189 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 1: world that has not talked crap about their little baby 190 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 1: significant other. Okay, I mean, unfortunately you're the one that 191 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 1: has to hear it. Most people don't actually hear what 192 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 1: mother in laws really think, and you had to hear it. 193 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 5: So I just think. 194 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 1: I mean, honestly, my only advice is when you talk 195 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 1: to your boyfriend, do not feel bad about accidentally overhearing 196 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 1: this conversation. That is not your fault. It's not something 197 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 1: you wanted to hear. And for goodness sakes, you'll bring 198 00:08:58,760 --> 00:08:59,560 Speaker 1: your own snacks. 199 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 7: Yeah, that's totally fair. 200 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,960 Speaker 4: Anything should have been eavesdropping on their conversations earlier. Jose, 201 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 4: what do you think? 202 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 3: Do? 203 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,560 Speaker 6: Just remember who you're mad at. The mom is the 204 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 6: bad guy. Technically that's true, that's good and decisions. Your 205 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 6: boyfriend's just trying to like organize this situation he's in. 206 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 5: He's like the middle child keeping the peace exactly. 207 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 6: So just be aware of your emotions. Don't go at 208 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,720 Speaker 6: him super hard or aggressive. 209 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:31,319 Speaker 7: Unless he said something stupid. 210 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 4: Does that help you a little bit? Erica? 211 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 7: Yeah, that's pretty solid advice. I mean, you're right, it's 212 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,960 Speaker 7: not like he was trying to defend me. I mean 213 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:42,880 Speaker 7: it's hard to defend against your mom. 214 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, anything, all right. I can't believe we actually give 215 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 4: some solid advice today, So I'm counting this as a 216 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,680 Speaker 4: win already.
