Terrified of heights yesterday at the zoo. Yeah, 4 00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:20,240 Speaker 2: you went up in the zip line. What was the 5 00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:25,639 Speaker 2: defining moment for you to actually do it? Because you, 6 00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:27,440 Speaker 2: I mean, you were so afraid of heights that when 7 00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:30,040 Speaker 2: we walk the pedestrian bridge in Nashville, like you won't 8 00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:31,600 Speaker 2: even look over the side. 9 00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:32,760 Speaker 3: What was two things? 10 00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:35,680 Speaker 4: Because I think the first thing, Julie was really really 11 00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:36,760 Speaker 4: excited to go on it. 12 00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:39,239 Speaker 3: Yeah, I knew you weren't going to go on it. 13 00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:39,800 Speaker 2: Not a chance. 14 00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:43,720 Speaker 4: Now, I knew wasn't going to go on it. So 15 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,680 Speaker 4: the first thing was not leaving hot disappointed. But also 16 00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 4: the second. 17 00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:48,560 Speaker 2: Wait, that makes me sound like a bad mom. 18 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:49,199 Speaker 1: Now no, no, no. 19 00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,360 Speaker 4: But the second thing was I wouldn't expect you to 20 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 4: go on like you were the head of panic attack. 21 00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:56,480 Speaker 2: Well yeah, without a doubt. 22 00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:56,880 Speaker 3: Yeah. 23 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,000 Speaker 4: The second thing was the choice was going on the 24 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:04,160 Speaker 4: zipline or go to the playground section, which would have 25 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:04,959 Speaker 4: taken a lot longer. 26 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,920 Speaker 2: That was your thought process. I kind of figured that 27 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 2: was what it was. 28 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,560 Speaker 4: But the first, like Joey was really excited and we 29 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:14,960 Speaker 4: will walk and you you were going to have to 30 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 4: walk past it. I thought, strap a pair on And. 31 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:22,200 Speaker 2: How scared were you? 32 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:23,399 Speaker 3: Yes? 33 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:27,280 Speaker 4: Scared, because the problem is, if we can get a 34 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 4: picture of these chairs, it would be good for the 35 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,559 Speaker 4: viewers to see this. There is nothing on the side, 36 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 4: There's nothing like the chair doesn't come up here. The 37 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,720 Speaker 4: chair ends at your ass cheek. So when you look 38 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 4: to the side, you can see straight down. There's nothing 39 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 4: keeping you on there apart from that strap. The seat's 40 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 4: not shaped into your body. It was just horrendous, and 41 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 4: Joey is. 42 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 3: Like, I can see the city. 43 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,560 Speaker 4: I like, I'm not even looking up and keep my 44 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 4: eyes fixed in one place. My eyes were fixed on 45 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 4: the rhinos. 46 00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 2: And the rhinos. Yeah, there's no I mean that feeling 47 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 2: brings me back to the Wondree Heal episode when I'm 48 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 2: up on the ski lift thing. I mean, it is 49 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 2: the most I mean, I almost plunged to the ground 50 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 2: in that one, just because I want That's how bad 51 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:15,919 Speaker 2: I wanted to get off the ski lift. 52 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 4: Well, the problem is, yeah, well you go up back, 53 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,679 Speaker 4: We'll get up to the highest point then you and 54 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,800 Speaker 4: then you stole that from it. I honestly was about 55 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 4: a second away from shouting to the guy the fuck 56 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 4: up and get it back down the way and. 57 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:30,240 Speaker 3: Let it go. 58 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 2: How long were you it was? It was paused for 59 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:34,080 Speaker 2: a second half. 60 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:36,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, it with ten seconds. 61 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,639 Speaker 2: Jason, I are just like you got it. Meanwhile, we're 62 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 2: like the most scaredy cats of all of it. 63 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:47,079 Speaker 3: Yeah, my boy, it was bruttal. Anyway, I did it 64 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 3: for Julie. 65 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:55,519 Speaker 2: There you go topic around backgrounds and how we were raised. 66 00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 2: So do you think think having well, I'll say this 67 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 2: because where we were raised obviously has different do you 68 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,920 Speaker 2: think I mean, I mean, does it? Does it have 69 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 2: different upbringing? I mean I was thinking about that, like 70 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 2: a British upbringing, UK upbringing versus an American upbringing? I think, 71 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 2: what do you think the biggest differences there. 72 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,960 Speaker 3: Are between UK and America upbringings? 73 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 2: Because I'm like, we both played outside we I think I. 74 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 4: Think for starters, I think our upbringings were really similar 75 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 4: in terms of working class family. The only the only 76 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 4: difference was you experienced divorce in your family when you 77 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 4: hit your when you hit your teens, which I didn't. 78 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 4: But I think in terms of like culture and earlier 79 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 4: the time period was was really similar. I think there 80 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 4: was a lot of growing up in a family didn't 81 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 4: have loads of expendable income, so being out in the 82 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 4: streets playing with your friends. 83 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 3: We grew up in. 84 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 4: We both grew up in neighborhoods where you had your 85 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 4: mates around you and stuff, So I think there was 86 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 4: a lot of similarities to their upbring I think one 87 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 4: of the biggest differences between the UK and in the 88 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 4: US is I think, and this is not a slight 89 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 4: on the US, but I think growing up in the UK, 90 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 4: you're you're almost exposed to a rougher environment like that 91 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 4: where I grew up. Well, maybe I'm wrong, because there's 92 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 4: loads of parts of the US where people grow up 93 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:45,160 Speaker 4: in rough environments. 94 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 2: But do you think I mean, you grew up in Glasgow, 95 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 2: so that would probably be equivalent maybe to someone growing 96 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 2: up in Detroit. I did grew up in I was 97 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:56,040 Speaker 2: a suburb though. 98 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 4: And I was kind of a suburb, Like we were 99 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:02,480 Speaker 4: like four or five miles from city center. It's a 100 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,719 Speaker 4: lot closer to it's a lot closer, but it's still 101 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:08,039 Speaker 4: it was still classed as kind of suburban. Really, I 102 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,040 Speaker 4: don't I don't know what the defining differences would be 103 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,280 Speaker 4: between growing up in the US and growing up in 104 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 4: the UK. I think you grow up in an environment 105 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 4: that's a certing class of family and earning capacity and 106 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 4: expendable income, and I think those were really similar to 107 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:31,479 Speaker 4: that for our upbringings. Well I don't. I think that's worldwide. 108 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,480 Speaker 4: I don't think that's between the UK and the US. 109 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:34,920 Speaker 2: Do you ever hear your parents fight? 110 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 3: Yeah? Not a lot by that. 111 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, there was one time on holiday and Jersey where 112 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 4: I heard them fighting that kind of stuck in my mind. 113 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 3: Nine or something. 114 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:52,239 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's about the age. I mean, I remember 115 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 2: fight six on in my house. Those were the fights. Yeah, 116 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 2: but my my biggest ones were six and like yeah 117 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 2: around at like ten, eleven, twelve, Like when they were 118 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:06,719 Speaker 2: nearing divorce. It was like constant. Yeah, I mean, which 119 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,839 Speaker 2: is why I am so like, when we're about to 120 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:11,919 Speaker 2: get in a little tiff, I'm like, nope, I go. 121 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 2: I'm like, I I have such a a trigger. I 122 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 2: guess with growing up in that toxicity that I'm like, 123 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 2: I don't want my kids to feel what I felt 124 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 2: when I was a kid. I mean, my brother and 125 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 2: I would be in our room like just hearing it 126 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 2: shielding things being thrown, you know what I mean, Like, yeah, no, 127 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 2: I was never part of my And we took my 128 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 2: brother to college. They're in the hotel room and they 129 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 2: have a fan on and they're like screaming, and I'm like, 130 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 2: that's not doing anything. You know, I was supposed to 131 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 2: mask the noise. I'm like, this is not masking anything. 132 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,720 Speaker 2: So it's like I think because of that, that's where 133 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:56,599 Speaker 2: it's like, I mean, I'm sure you've noticed like if 134 00:06:56,600 --> 00:07:00,280 Speaker 2: we it's like I'm like, no, no, no, we're not. We're 135 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 2: not getting in any kind of conversation or And I 136 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 2: think there's a piece of conflict that I think is 137 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,360 Speaker 2: good for kids to see, but not a not a 138 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 2: there's no I don't think any need. They can see 139 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 2: annoyances and they be like we've had annoyances, right, But 140 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 2: I think when it comes to like a fight, I 141 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 2: don't think that's ever good for a kid to see 142 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 2: that piece of it. 143 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely agree, I don't think. 144 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 2: But I've also seen the flip side of that, where 145 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,200 Speaker 2: it's someone we know, someone who's had an upbringing where 146 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 2: everything was always so positive. They never saw any conflict 147 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 2: with parents who are being like Hey, I'm sorry, Mommy 148 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 2: raised her voice. I shouldn't have done that to you know, 149 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 2: to Alan or vice versa. Where people have a such 150 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 2: a perfect upbringing that when they fight then in their 151 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 2: relationship or marriage, they're like, we're headed for divorce. It's bad. 152 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 2: I mean I do. One of our very close friends 153 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 2: had that upbringing where their parents never fought, and so 154 00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 2: when he started fighting with his wife, he was like, oh, 155 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 2: we're headed for divorce. Clearly. It's like no, no, like, 156 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 2: it's okay that you guys have conflict, Just don't don't 157 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 2: do it in front of the kids, as as you know, 158 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 2: the big ones you know, or any of them.

I don't think that either. 190 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 3: In America like the belt. 191 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 4: Like one of your friends a couple of weeks ago 192 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,839 Speaker 4: was talking about, like what did they call the stick? 193 00:09:55,360 --> 00:10:00,120 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, wouldn't spin I think every well. 194 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 1: I would call it, oh what a touch or something?

You know, you knew when 211 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:17,200 Speaker 4: he would lose Losey's temper, and you know it would 212 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 4: make him lose his temper. 213 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,200 Speaker 3: So yeah, it was. 214 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 2: What do you think you're doing differently that with Roman 215 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:28,640 Speaker 2: that you that your parents didn't do or that your 216 00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 2: parents did do that You're just like, yeah, what is 217 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:33,559 Speaker 2: something that you do that you're implementing different into your 218 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,439 Speaker 2: parenting for Roman? 219 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:39,719 Speaker 4: Well, if you take, if you like, you take my 220 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 4: dad who has always been there for me, but really 221 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 4: tough and stun and doesn't show his emotions. And then 222 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,079 Speaker 4: you've got my mum, who has absolutely always been there, 223 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,320 Speaker 4: but she's the softer one that will listen more and 224 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 4: provide a more sympathetic approach. 225 00:11:57,760 --> 00:11:59,840 Speaker 3: I think, I think there's. 226 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 4: A bad between in the way that I parent or 227 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:03,880 Speaker 4: the way that i'd like to paint. I think there's 228 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 4: a balance between both of how my mom raised me 229 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,760 Speaker 4: and how my dad raised me. I think there's a 230 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 4: discipline balance there, but also there's a there's got to 231 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:18,320 Speaker 4: be an empathetic software side. So I think I try 232 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 4: and kind of split that and split that in half. 233 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:25,320 Speaker 2: That makes sense, I think. I mean, obviously there's like 234 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,480 Speaker 2: a million different things that I'm trying to do and 235 00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:32,440 Speaker 2: every day I'm trying to I think it just you know, 236 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:34,440 Speaker 2: showing up being the best parents that we can be 237 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:39,280 Speaker 2: while learning, and is except what how I may be 238 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 2: discipline again, I have to disciplining. All three of them 239 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,599 Speaker 2: are very different and look very different because of the 240 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,600 Speaker 2: different ages they're at. What works for Jase doesn't work 241 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:49,320 Speaker 2: for Jolie, and what works for Jolie well, you know, 242 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:50,839 Speaker 2: and then there's just Roman. 243 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 4: So do you feel you're more patient with the Roman 244 00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,520 Speaker 4: than what you were with with Jolie and Jase. Now 245 00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 4: that you're nearly ten years down the lane, you've got 246 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,200 Speaker 4: ten years experience in parentcy. 247 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:08,680 Speaker 2: I do think I'm more patient with Roman, yeah, because 248 00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:10,960 Speaker 2: I'm kind of used to. And we talked about this 249 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:12,679 Speaker 2: on wine down this week where it was like, I'm 250 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,320 Speaker 2: I get the where he's at in the stages, Like 251 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 2: I know what's coming. I'm scared of what's coming age wise, 252 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 2: But you're scared with Roman, No, Like well at times, yes, 253 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:28,480 Speaker 2: but the no, I'm not scared of them, but you know, 254 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 2: I know kind of what's what's to come, and I'm 255 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,800 Speaker 2: trying to enjoy each stage of it. But sometimes it 256 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:38,560 Speaker 2: can be challenging, right, But I do. I do find 257 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 2: that I have more patients with Roman for sure. 258 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 3: Yeah. 259 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 2: Either yeah, well, I think that just also comes with 260 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:47,720 Speaker 2: age too, And I think that's same thing like with 261 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 2: my dad. Again, I'd say this, I've said this before, 262 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:55,720 Speaker 2: like how he was to me, Like I know for 263 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 2: a fact, he's never did the belt or anything else 264 00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,680 Speaker 2: like to my other two sisters, you know, like his 265 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 2: patients with them like he had they we have, we have, 266 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:12,240 Speaker 2: we had two different dads essentially growing up, I had 267 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 2: the angrier you know man that was like in his affairs, 268 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 2: and they had a very patient, a more patient father.

I don't know, I'm not there, 271 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:28,120 Speaker 2: but I'm sure it was there at times, But there 272 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 2: are It's a two different and as I'm sure with you, 273 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 2: it's like you as you get older, as you learn 274 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 2: and grow and get older, I think that patient's piece 275 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 2: is just different. And where you would have have been 276 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:45,760 Speaker 2: different with your son back in the day to Roman now, like, 277 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 2: I'm sure you're more patient with him, either because of 278 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 2: the things that you've done in the past or because 279 00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:55,200 Speaker 2: of just I think there is a patience that comes 280 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 2: with age. 281 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, there's also a wisdom, Yeah, that comes with the 282 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:05,920 Speaker 4: that you gain more clarity on your own self awareness 283 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,880 Speaker 4: and how you should behave Like a few days for example, 284 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 4: a few days ago, Roman scratched my nose and my 285 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 4: face and then slapped me. 286 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:17,080 Speaker 2: And we talked to them, and. 287 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 4: It took every ounce of my patients to not react 288 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:26,800 Speaker 4: in a way that I would regret at five minutes later. 289 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:28,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, And I was said to you.

They're trying 293 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:43,120 Speaker 2: to communicate, and I think now knowing that, like it's 294 00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 2: you know, they don't know, they don't know what they 295 00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:47,920 Speaker 2: don't know? Right like this poor sweet soul has been 296 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:51,720 Speaker 2: on this planet for only nineteen months, like not knowing 297 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 2: what to do or how to do, Like we are 298 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 2: teaching him what to do, and you know, it's it 299 00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 2: can be maddening at times, but there is patience to go. 300 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:04,840 Speaker 2: We are molding and helping create this you know, little 301 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 2: nineteen month old to you know, to know what's right 302 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,320 Speaker 2: and wrong and eventually it'll click.
