Rebecca in New Mexico. 17 00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:49,680 Speaker 4: I think just them getting older and having more substantial conversations. 18 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:53,280 Speaker 4: I think that that's been a fun part in just 19 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:59,640 Speaker 4: watching them develop and their personalities really start to come out, 20 00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 4: and you see who they are as individuals, and watching 21 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 4: them grow and thrive. At least for me, that's probably 22 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:08,679 Speaker 4: been the best part. Is it true that when they 23 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,039 Speaker 4: get older, you have more concern. 24 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 3: That grows for them. Does that happen? 25 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 4: I mean yeah, I think once I start driving, there's 26 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 4: that they have this more freedom, and then they're friendships 27 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 4: and there's the normal high school stuff and what are 28 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 4: they involved in? And that's what Life three sixties for you. 29 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 3: Just love that. 30 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 2: I really feel like you need an advertising with Life 31 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 2: three sixty. 32 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:33,760 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I'm I'm on it all the time. Like 33 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 4: I could be like, oh, where are they right now? 34 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:37,680 Speaker 4: Are they walking? I mean Stevenson, he rides his bike 35 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 4: a lot, like I can see exactly where he is. 36 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:45,280 Speaker 4: That's just it gives you peace of mind. Now, I 37 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 4: don't over or what's the sort I'm looking for? I 38 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 4: don't obsess over it as a mom. Like if Stasher 39 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 4: is out with her friends, I will maybe check it once. 40 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 4: Some nights I don't even check it. I just trust 41 00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 4: that's where she is. But sometimes I'll be like, oh, 42 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 4: wait a second, where is she right now? And then 43 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 4: I'll see like, oh, she went from you know, this 44 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 4: Mexican restaurant to Sonic and that's what they do then 45 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 4: to swig like they. 46 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,959 Speaker 3: Just bounced around a restaurant hop. 47 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,800 Speaker 4: And she's from what I can tell, she's not into 48 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 4: certain things that I certainly was into in high school, 49 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,920 Speaker 4: and I'm very thankful for that, and that might change. 50 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,360 Speaker 4: But it's her senior year and she hasn't yet like 51 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 4: really gotten into partying or anything. And so if like 52 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 4: she wants to go hang out at Sonic late. 53 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,399 Speaker 3: Night, okay, yeah, you're like, I'll take that. That's right. 54 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,399 Speaker 4: So we'll see what happens when she goes off to college. 55 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 4: Like you know, I try to have open, honest conversations 56 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,080 Speaker 4: her about that. That's probably like the cringiest part of 57 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,079 Speaker 4: being a parent sometimes is like, Okay, I'm gonna have 58 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:47,799 Speaker 4: to have this conversation right now, and I want to 59 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 4: talk about it, but my mom didn't talk to me, 60 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:55,640 Speaker 4: and I would much rather have, you know, the boyfriend 61 00:02:55,720 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 4: girlfriend conversations and the drinking conversations and drugs then then 62 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:03,800 Speaker 4: just ignore it. And I'm like, Okay, well, they're going 63 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:07,359 Speaker 4: to do what they're going to do. But just watching 64 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 4: them grow and develop, sure you worry, but I think 65 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 4: there's all different phases until they're maybe finally off on 66 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 4: their own. But I can't speak to that yet because 67 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 4: I'm not on that phase. 68 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 2: Okay, I does Stevenson still go buy his nickname at school? 69 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:24,640 Speaker 2: In track James in Virginia. 70 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:25,960 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, the moose.

Oh yes, but that's exciting. 174 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 4: But then I get asked a question like that, my 175 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 4: brain starts revisiting different things that I've thought of, and 176 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 4: I'm like, okay, and then I have to reel it in. 177 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 2: Okay, but it's good. It's good to know where you're at. 178 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 2: So this is good favorite quality in your new boyfriend. 179 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 2: Maybe she had asses in a way of like that 180 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 2: you're ex and to have, But we'll just go with 181 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 2: like maybe your favorite quality. 182 00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 4: And yeah, no, I don't want to compare him to 183 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 4: Ben there at all, so we won't do that. I 184 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 4: do think a word to describe him that has been 185 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 4: really good for me is steadfast. Okay, so he's very 186 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:18,960 Speaker 4: consistent and even you know, I don't know if it's 187 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 4: like in our other part of the podcast, you were 188 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 4: talking about your nervous system, and he is just I 189 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 4: keep saying, like even in level doesn't sound as great 190 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 4: as steadfast, so that feels more like the word. But 191 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:38,199 Speaker 4: he is that for me and has you know, sometimes 192 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,320 Speaker 4: you don't know as someone just acting this way or 193 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:45,720 Speaker 4: are they this way? And I believe after almost a year, 194 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:49,320 Speaker 4: I can tell that he just is that way. Now 195 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:54,679 Speaker 4: he has feelings and can fluctuate with those, like he's 196 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 4: not just like a passive person, but he's just consistent, 197 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:05,599 Speaker 4: consistent in being level headed. He's very rational, uh, not dramatic. 198 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 4: It's the opposite of me sometimes, opposite the ying to 199 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 4: my yang. 200 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 3: So steadfast.

I used to have. 344 00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,120 Speaker 4: My friend Kelly would do it, but I then I 345 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 4: just started doing it myself, like the last several years. 346 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,240 Speaker 4: I was like, I don't know, I just started doing 347 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:20,640 Speaker 4: it the last probably after COVID. I mean, I think 348 00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:22,280 Speaker 4: a lot did that change for a lot of people 349 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:26,160 Speaker 4: after COVID And I was looking back at some of 350 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:29,960 Speaker 4: my past, my most recent iHeart outfits over the last 351 00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,520 Speaker 4: several years, and they were all me. I mean, I'll 352 00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:35,440 Speaker 4: get opinions or I might still text her other friends 353 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 4: and be like, hey do you like this or does 354 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:40,160 Speaker 4: this look ridiculous? 355 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 2: But hey, there you go. I think people assume that 356 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 2: we get like wardrobes and stuff. Yeah, for different events, 357 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 2: but no, that's us, Yeah, going out to things. How 358 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,560 Speaker 2: did people share their pregnancy news with you whenever you 359 00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 2: were struggling with infertility? That's from m in Ohio. I'm 360 00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 2: assuming she maybe going through something similar. 361 00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 3: Uh. I think they just were normal how they would be. 362 00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:11,160 Speaker 4: I don't know. I don't recall any of my I mean, 363 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,240 Speaker 4: this was a long long time ago, but I'm trying 364 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:17,040 Speaker 4: to think. I think I did have my college roommate 365 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:24,040 Speaker 4: she proceeded with caution on her second pregnancy, kind of like, Hey, 366 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:26,960 Speaker 4: I've been wanting to tell you this. I just don't 367 00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:28,920 Speaker 4: know how because I know that you're going through this 368 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:33,560 Speaker 4: and she did it thoughtfully, but nobody I never took 369 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 4: it any wrong way. If someone's just I want you 370 00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 4: to do you. And I think that's it's good if 371 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,120 Speaker 4: you're family and friends or where what you're going through 372 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:42,600 Speaker 4: and they are sensitive to it. 373 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:44,240 Speaker 3: And also. 374 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:49,080 Speaker 4: Just because we've been dealt a certain card. I don't 375 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:55,439 Speaker 4: want to trump or step on anybody's joy or steal 376 00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 4: their joy in their moment, like I don't know, you. 377 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:02,800 Speaker 3: Don't want to just gotta theoria, Oh what the being soupererio? 378 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:05,680 Speaker 3: Oh bean, you don't want to being souperio? Yeah? 379 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, the bean soup theory, that's a that's a good 380 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:10,399 Speaker 4: one where you're just kind of won't want you're the 381 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:11,800 Speaker 4: Debbie downer at the point. 382 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:13,679 Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think a lot of that's valid. 383 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,200 Speaker 2: Right when you're going through something, you've experienced things and 384 00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:18,919 Speaker 2: you you get to have all of those emotions. 385 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:20,600 Speaker 3: But there's also two things. This can be true. 386 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:24,080 Speaker 2: What Amy's saying is that you get to feel that 387 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:25,600 Speaker 2: way and have that, but you can also still have 388 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:27,040 Speaker 2: joy for the people that are in your life and 389 00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:28,520 Speaker 2: having joyful things happen. 390 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, And I feel like when someone has this expectation, 391 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:39,119 Speaker 4: which I am thankful for my friend that did deliver 392 00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:41,919 Speaker 4: the news in that way, but I assured her over 393 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,240 Speaker 4: and over again like, if this ever happens again, please 394 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 4: just do you and come out and tell me, Like, 395 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:50,399 Speaker 4: I don't want you to have anxiety about telling me 396 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,879 Speaker 4: about one of the biggest moments in your life. Like 397 00:18:55,960 --> 00:19:00,320 Speaker 4: I just I'm grateful for the thoughtfulness and I just 398 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:05,399 Speaker 4: want people to be normal. Yeah, well hopefully, because then 399 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:07,480 Speaker 4: it also is like this reminder of like, oh, these 400 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 4: this is happening to me. I just want things to 401 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:14,040 Speaker 4: kind of continue. And I'm very detached from that part 402 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:18,320 Speaker 4: of my life because it was so long ago, and 403 00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:20,800 Speaker 4: I know there's so many emotions. I mean, the Lord 404 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,560 Speaker 4: knows how many pregnancy tests I took and how many 405 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,239 Speaker 4: times I was crying and frustrated and asking how did 406 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:29,920 Speaker 4: my sister get pregnant four times with biological children and 407 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:33,120 Speaker 4: like what is wrong with me?

I mean, I guess never say never, 411 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 4: but that's just like not something I want.
