Speaker 2: So, you know, a lot of talk lately here in

5
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:18,320
Speaker 2: having a farewell sun party this weekend.

6
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 3: Froggy, right, Yeah, we are. Yeah, his going away party

7
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:22,919
Speaker 3: for his friends.

8
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 4: And people who have become really close with him.

9
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 3: His Saturday night. And how are you feeling?

10
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 2: How are you feeling about your son being five miles

11
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 2: of five hours away by car?

12
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 3: You know, it's I think about things that I hate

13
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 3: to do this.

14
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 4: I had a thought the other day we were doing

15
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 4: something and I said, well, this could be the last

16
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 4: time we do this.

17
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 3: It won't be the last time ever, but it'll be

18
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 3: the last time while he's living here. It is. It's sad.

19
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 4: I hate to see him go because he's my football buddy,

20
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 4: he's my golfing buddy. We spend a lot of time together.

21
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 4: He really truly has become my best friend. But it

22
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 4: would be selfish of me to make him stay home,

23
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 4: or to want him to stay home. I want to

24
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 4: see him spread his wings and do what he wants

25
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 4: to do and I'm ex him, and so I'm trying

26
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 4: to let that drive everything I feel, my excitement to

27
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 4: watch him grow and live his right.

28
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:08,680
Speaker 2: So I remember when one thing Foggy said to me,

29
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 2: He's like, well, the alternative is he just sits at

30
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,399
Speaker 2: home on the couch Monday through Sunday and.

31
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:17,039
Speaker 3: Does nothing right. So there's that. What about you, Danielle,

32
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 3: how are you feeling? Where's your head now?

33
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 4: So?

34
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 1: I had two breakdowns this weekend, had what do you mean.

35
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 3: To describe the breakdowns?

36
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 1: So I start thinking about I see spirit Halloween opening up,

37
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:33,399
Speaker 1: and I start thinking, huh, okay, I love Halloween, but

38
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 1: it's gonna.

39
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 2: Be it's gonna be weird without him around for Halloween

40
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,320
Speaker 2: because that's our holiday in my house.

41
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: And then Spencer loves the holidays in general. So he

42
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: brings so much joy to the house for the holidays,

43
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: just celebrating the whole season.

44
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 2: And let me ask you a question, what were your

45
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 2: favorite your favorite costumes your son has worn Halloween's past,

46
00:01:57,840 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 2: let's take out in your mind.

47
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: And we did marry all the whole family, did the

48
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 1: Marios right each Luigi and you know, like stuff like that.

49
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: But he he just brings so much joy with stuff

50
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: like that, And then I start thinking about walking by

51
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: his room and not seeing him in there, and then,

52
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: you know, and then I say to myself, yea, yeah,

53
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,399
Speaker 1: you have the same thing with Froggy. But you want

54
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: him to go. You want him to experience this. This

55
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: this is his life dream. This is something a lot

56
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: of people don't get to do. I would never ever

57
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: hold him back from that, and that's why I try

58
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 1: not to let him see me like get upset. But

59
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,359
Speaker 1: then I call Lisa, Froggy's Lisa because she's going through

60
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 1: the same thing, and I just.

61
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:38,359
Speaker 2: Ball so grace YouTube bawling each other all the hey,

62
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:39,959

Speaker 2: both of you. And look, I'm not a parent, but

95
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 2: for their mistake.

96
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,680

117
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 2: And this is something we all, we all could grow

118
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 2: up a little bit about listening to our bodies and

119
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 2: acting on things we find Also how to be assertive.

120
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 2: They need to be able to advocate for themselves and

121
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 2: communicate effectively, share their thoughts and opinions, and be assertive.

122
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 2: How to create and maintain a healthy routine. Are they

123
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,520

Speaker 2: keeping up with things, getting ready for a life where

127
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 2: you're going to have to pay bills and things like that.

128
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 2: How about the budget? Have you guys talked about budgets?

129
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 2: How to stick to a budget?

130
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 1: I left my husband. He's taking care of that part.

131
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 4: I'll tell you what we did. We set up a

132
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 4: credit card and it's got a monthly budget on it.

133
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 4: I told him, if you use that budget by the

134
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 4: halfway through the month, then you got to figure out

135
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 4: to figure it out.

136
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 3: You need to make that last over the entire month.

137
00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: Isn't it wonderful?

138
00:05:58,480 --> 00:05:58,600
Speaker 4: Though?

139
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 1: When they have their own money, things start getting more

140
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: expensive in their eyes because they're like, oh, if it

141
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 1: was your money, mom, no problem, it's my money now.

142
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 1: I don't think I need that.

143
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 3: It's funny how that works.

144
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,039
Speaker 2: They need to learn how this was a big one,

145
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,719
Speaker 2: how to clean a bathroom. And they're boys, so you

146
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 2: know they're peeing all over the place and the streaks

147
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 2: in the toilet. They need to learn the importance of

148
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 2: a clean bowl, you know what I'm saying, and find

149
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 2: how important they need to know how important it is

150
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 2: to connect with people and find true friends, not just

151
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 2: the acquaintances you meet at the bar or whatever, but

152
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:37,159
Speaker 2: people you can rely on and trust Yep, And it's great.

153
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 2: So you both feel like all of the above Your

154
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 2: sons are ready for it all.

155
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 1: No, not yet. We're still working on some of the whole.

156
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 1: But for the most part, I think we're in the

157
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 1: right direction.

158
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 3: Back to the clean bathroom in progress. That could be

159
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:51,720
Speaker 3: the stumbling block, all right,
