What made you email 0:07:30.000 --> 0:07:31.880 us for advice? What are you looking to do with 0:07:31.920 --> 0:07:32.520 your call here? 0:07:33.120 --> 0:07:35.120 I want to know how to be the bigger person here, 0:07:35.680 --> 0:07:37.480 you know, I don't want to just complain about it. 0:07:37.600 --> 0:07:39.320 I mean I would like to speak to the mom 0:07:39.480 --> 0:07:42.240 and tell her what the other parents are saying about this. 0:07:42.680 --> 0:07:45.320 Okay, So what I mean, what's the message? Though? You're 0:07:45.320 --> 0:07:47.720 gonna say, Hey, not cool? 0:07:48.320 --> 0:07:51.520 Personally, I'm bothered by it. The more I'm talking about 0:07:51.560 --> 0:07:53.040 it is you can see I get amped up. So 0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:56.400 I just kind of mor so need some advice about 0:07:56.520 --> 0:07:57.960 how to have the conversation. 0:07:58.440 --> 0:07:59.800 Okay, Okay, I love that. 0:08:00.120 --> 0:08:01.720 I mean, I think a lot of people would just 0:08:01.800 --> 0:08:03.640 ignore it and hope it goes away. But that doesn't 0:08:03.640 --> 0:08:06.440 help in society. Then it just makes it uncomfortable. 0:08:06.440 --> 0:08:07.800 I mean, I can't give that as my advice. 0:08:07.840 --> 0:08:12.600 Ignored it and it's possible more conversations are good. 0:08:12.760 --> 0:08:15.600 This is really interesting because I've definitely heard of parents 0:08:15.640 --> 0:08:17.720 like Brooks said, say, please have your kid come to 0:08:17.760 --> 0:08:20.840 the party, no presence needed. But this is the total 0:08:20.920 --> 0:08:24.280 opposite where it's like, bring your presence, no children away. 0:08:24.240 --> 0:08:26.480 Yeah, children, We're gonna. 0:08:26.280 --> 0:08:28.640 Get you some advice here, Ginger, and let you make 0:08:28.640 --> 0:08:31.559 your awkward Tuesday phone call to figure out what's going 0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:33.760 on with this kid's birthday party. 0:08:33.800 --> 0:08:37.400 We'll do it right after this. Hold on, it's awkward. 0:08:37.640 --> 0:08:38.479 It's Tuesday. 0:08:39.320 --> 0:08:41.360 It's awkward Tuesday phone call. 0:08:42.120 --> 0:08:45.480 It's a genius idea. I can't believe I haven't thought 0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:49.560 of before. Throw a birthday party without people. 0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:53.720 Yeah, you don't like people very much, Jeff. This actually 0:08:54.080 --> 0:08:54.680 I could see you. 0:08:56.080 --> 0:08:58.880 Nobody's allowed you just ask for the presence to be 0:08:59.000 --> 0:09:00.600 delivered right to you. 0:09:00.640 --> 0:09:02.600 Wow, and stay the heck away. 0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:05.800 You should make up like twelve children, one for each month. 0:09:05.880 --> 0:09:09.400 Jeff an imaginary birthday party every month. 0:09:09.400 --> 0:09:12.280 So smart Joseking the doll. 0:09:12.240 --> 0:09:14.560 And I can't even say it was my idea. 0:09:14.600 --> 0:09:18.320 It's what one mom apparently did because one of our listeners, Ginger, 0:09:18.360 --> 0:09:20.440 got an invite for her seven year old son to 0:09:20.480 --> 0:09:24.199 celebrate another kid's birthday. But there's no actual party, no 0:09:24.280 --> 0:09:27.480 activities at all, just an address for them to drop 0:09:27.520 --> 0:09:31.120 off presents. Yeah, and Ginger wants to call this other 0:09:31.200 --> 0:09:34.240 mom and tell her, Hey, this might not be the 0:09:34.280 --> 0:09:37.240 best look because other parents have been talking about it 0:09:37.400 --> 0:09:38.240 and not jet. 0:09:38.600 --> 0:09:41.360 I mean, I mean she's honestly, you're doing the mom 0:09:41.400 --> 0:09:43.839 of a solid, but you're helping the mom out by 0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:44.760 giving her a head zone. 0:09:45.120 --> 0:09:46.680 We just need to give her advice on how to 0:09:46.720 --> 0:09:49.160 do it politely.

Maybe there's something 0:10:14.559 --> 0:10:16.800 that we're missing, Maybe there's a logical answer we. 0:10:16.720 --> 0:10:18.320 Don't see yet.

I'm good. 0:11:52.080 --> 0:11:54.840 We got your birthday invite. Oh, I do have a 0:11:54.840 --> 0:11:56.160 couple of questions for you. 0:11:57.040 --> 0:11:59.320 There really shouldn't be any questions because everything's laid out 0:11:59.320 --> 0:12:00.000 on the invite there. 0:12:02.000 --> 0:12:04.320 Yeah, yeah, I got it. But I just need to 0:12:04.360 --> 0:12:08.120 ask you is this correct? Like there's no actual party, 0:12:08.200 --> 0:12:10.360 it's just you kind of just want us to send 0:12:10.360 --> 0:12:11.520 a gift and that's it. 0:12:11.600 --> 0:12:13.840 Yep, that's what it is. I mean it says it 0:12:13.880 --> 0:12:14.520 on the invitation. 0:12:14.920 --> 0:12:18.200 WHOA, You're welcome to drop it off, I mean, feel free, 0:12:18.240 --> 0:12:19.840 but you don't even need to ring the door. 0:12:19.760 --> 0:12:20.959 But you can just leave it on the doorstep. 0:12:21.000 --> 0:12:21.679 And I can grab it. 0:12:22.040 --> 0:12:29.000 Oh okay, is there anything else I think that covers it? Yep. 0:12:30.000 --> 0:12:33.400 I mean, well, I kind of feel like it's important 0:12:33.520 --> 0:12:36.160 to talk to you about this because, like some of 0:12:36.200 --> 0:12:39.040 the other parents have mentioned, they've never heard of a 0:12:39.080 --> 0:12:40.200 party like this before. 0:12:40.840 --> 0:12:43.480 Right, well, this is not a party, this is a celebration. 0:12:43.880 --> 0:12:48.240 Oh got it. But I mean, and we decided to 0:12:48.280 --> 0:12:51.360 do a little bit of a more gift forward celebration 0:12:51.440 --> 0:12:52.000 this year, you. 0:12:51.960 --> 0:12:55.120 Know, I mean, what does that even mean? 0:12:55.320 --> 0:12:59.360 It's really simple, more gifts, less people. It's kind of 0:12:59.360 --> 0:13:03.800 more fun that way. 0:13:04.120 --> 0:13:06.760 I'm sorry, Ginger. Is it because you can't afford a gift? 0:13:06.800 --> 0:13:10.240 Because if that's the case, it's honestly, it's okay. Just 0:13:10.320 --> 0:13:12.400 have you on May something or like an ioe you 0:13:12.480 --> 0:13:15.120 for a gift card? You know they produce me. 0:13:15.880 --> 0:13:17.840 That's no, that's rude. 0:13:18.080 --> 0:13:19.120 We have plenty of money. 0:13:19.320 --> 0:13:21.679 I just think that if there's a bad message to 0:13:21.720 --> 0:13:24.920 the kids that it's all about gifts and not about 0:13:24.920 --> 0:13:27.120 the experience of celebrating your friends. 0:13:27.360 --> 0:13:29.600 I mean, honestly, at this age, kids don't even remember 0:13:29.640 --> 0:13:30.080 the party. 0:13:30.120 --> 0:13:31.360 They just remember the gifts. 0:13:31.640 --> 0:13:34.040 So let's just skip the middleman, right. 0:13:35.720 --> 0:13:38.120 I mean, I just feel like it's really weird to 0:13:38.160 --> 0:13:40.520 ask for a gift and it's no event, no piece, 0:13:40.600 --> 0:13:42.439 good party, no nothing. You just want me to send 0:13:42.440 --> 0:13:43.280 a gift to your house. 0:13:44.160 --> 0:13:46.040 Okay, I kind of see what you're saying. 0:13:46.200 --> 0:13:49.800 So your child doesn't believe in gift giving unless there's 0:13:49.800 --> 0:13:51.040 something in it for him. 0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:52.640 I mean, that's kind of sad. 0:13:53.400 --> 0:13:55.640 No, it's not about my kid at all. It's the 0:13:55.720 --> 0:13:58.760 perception about this is not right. You're just asking people 0:13:58.760 --> 0:13:59.400 for gifts. 0:13:59.440 --> 0:13:59.720 Okay. 0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:01.520 I don't really have a lot of time right now, 0:14:01.559 --> 0:14:03.480 but I'm a little surprised at the reaction you're giving 0:14:03.520 --> 0:14:05.880 me because none of the other parents have said anything 0:14:05.960 --> 0:14:06.280 like this. 0:14:06.800 --> 0:14:09.280 Most of them are very supportive. 0:14:10.800 --> 0:14:13.080 It's not that they support you, they're scared of you. 0:14:13.120 --> 0:14:16.280 They don't want their kids to be blackballed from other parties, 0:14:16.320 --> 0:14:17.160 so they. 0:14:17.080 --> 0:14:17.560 Talk to me. 0:14:18.440 --> 0:14:22.200 Okay, I don't really like how this is going, so listen. 0:14:22.280 --> 0:14:24.120 If you don't feel like I needs to drop off 0:14:24.160 --> 0:14:24.640 a gift. 0:14:24.640 --> 0:14:26.440 Just then the less send us cash. 0:14:28.720 --> 0:14:37.200 Hinny, Hello, what's going on? 0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:41.920 Yes, am I on speaker phone or something. 0:14:42.000 --> 0:14:44.360 Well, you're on a lot of speakers all over the 0:14:44.400 --> 0:14:46.920 country right now, because this is a radio show called 0:14:46.960 --> 0:14:48.080 Brook and Jeffrey in the morning. 0:14:48.240 --> 0:14:53.480 Yeah, you are so classless, Ginger to put mean Luke, 0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:56.880 you couldn't call me directly, so you called a radio station. 0:14:57.080 --> 0:14:58.120 Okay, I'm sorry. 0:14:58.200 --> 0:14:59.640 Hey, that's pitiful. 0:15:00.880 --> 0:15:03.680 The only classless person is the mother who's begging for 0:15:03.760 --> 0:15:05.400 gifts and not even throwing a party. 0:15:05.480 --> 0:15:06.360 That's honey. 0:15:06.400 --> 0:15:09.000 I don't know your name, but no one's begging for gifts. 0:15:09.040 --> 0:15:10.680 If she didn't want to send one, she didn't have to. 0:15:10.800 --> 0:15:13.320 She just called me. I'm telling her her options. She 0:15:13.360 --> 0:15:15.640 doesn't have to she doesn't want. 0:15:18.520 --> 0:15:20.680 I thought she was going to come with some explanation 0:15:20.800 --> 0:15:23.560 as to why the birthday party was just gifts, like 0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:26.280 maybe this kid was sick or maybe like maybe there 0:15:26.360 --> 0:15:28.200 was something right, maybe there was a guy. 0:15:28.360 --> 0:15:31.200 It's a celebration, not a party. 0:15:31.520 --> 0:15:34.560 Yeah, not a party was the difference. She made it 0:15:34.720 --> 0:15:38.960 very clear. It's a gift forward celebration. The focus is 0:15:39.000 --> 0:15:39.640 on the gifts. 0:15:39.840 --> 0:15:42.000 Why do you want that to be your kid's focus. 0:15:42.120 --> 0:15:45.080 Shouldn't your kids focus be relationships? Like that's what's going 0:15:45.120 --> 0:15:47.720 to sustain them in life, not stuck. 0:15:47.880 --> 0:15:48.800 I'm Tammy. 0:15:49.000 --> 0:15:51.640 The reason that Ginger has reached out to us is 0:15:51.680 --> 0:15:55.480 because she's not alone. Apparently a bunch of the other 0:15:55.600 --> 0:15:57.960 parents and kids at your school are a little bit 0:15:58.120 --> 0:15:59.880 alarmed by this idea. 0:16:00.360 --> 0:16:01.920 Yes, and guys, I could care less. 0:16:02.000 --> 0:16:06.320 Okay, okay, okay, I get your on the defense. We 0:16:06.360 --> 0:16:08.720 came in hot, but like, honestly, like you got to 0:16:08.760 --> 0:16:10.000 think of your kid right now. 0:16:10.960 --> 0:16:13.240 This is none of your business. I'm not sure what 0:16:13.320 --> 0:16:15.520 I'm even doing on this call because she could have 0:16:15.520 --> 0:16:18.200 had a private conversation. But now all the mothers will 0:16:18.240 --> 0:16:19.040 know they. 0:16:18.920 --> 0:16:22.360 Are you send out a mass invite for gifts? 0:16:22.680 --> 0:16:24.840 Can I ask a weird question?
