1
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 1: Welcome back to Bachelor Happy Hours Golden Hour, Susan. We're back.

2
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 1: Thank y'all for joining us.

3
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 2: So you guys, if you haven't listened to our Wednesday

4
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:21,960
Speaker 2: episode yet, you are definitely missing out. We had Lexi

5
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:25,959
Speaker 2: from Joey season and Kathy how about her being a blonde?

6
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 3: How beautiful? I mean she was beautiful on his season.

7
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 3: Now she's like what.

8
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 1: So okay, Yes, she's absolutely beautiful, Susan, And she's a

9
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 1: beautiful as a blonde who was beautiful as a brunette.

10
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:41,840
Speaker 1: But you know what impressed me about her her willingness

11
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 1: to talk about her endometriosis and freezing her eggs and

12
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:50,200
Speaker 1: searching for the right guy, and just knowing that she's

13
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 1: complete as I just found her amazingly mature and Lexi,

14
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 1: if you're listening to us today, get over the twenty

15
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 1: six year old guys start looking for a guy little

16
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: bit older because they're not they're ready for it.

17
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 2: I love seeing she was very comfortable in her own skin.

18
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 2: She knows what she wants and she does want. And

19
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:14,680
Speaker 2: how about her freezing her eggs, like she's shared, that's

20
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 2: a great thing to do, especially with her situation. But

21
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 2: she's not afraid to talk about it. I think she

22
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 2: shared with us that Joey helped her, you know what.

23
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:24,960
Speaker 3: I love that way.

24
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: One of the things I love about doing this podcast

25
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: is Lexi's not alone. There are a lot of women

26
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:36,119
Speaker 1: of child bearing years who are dealing exactly with what

27
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 1: she's dealing with. And to normalize it and talk about

28
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: it and know that you're not alone. I just I

29
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 1: love that she can stand for that and people can say,

30
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 1: if she can do it and get through the surgeries

31
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: and have this positive out, positive outlook, you know I

32
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: can do it.

33
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 2: I love that, Kathy, did it ever occur to you?

34
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 2: As it is right now in my brain that the

35
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 2: show itself helps people to grow and find themselves and

36
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 2: realize who they are when I share with you, when

37
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 2: I came off the show, I knew I love myself,

38
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:13,359
Speaker 2: I'm good people.

39
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 3: And I believe she's come.

40
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 2: So much further To hear her talk, and.

41
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: I think she said she's had a lot of seasons.

42
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: I think being on the show If you Will is

43
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: a season, and it changed me. We've talked about it

44
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: many times. It's changed you. But I just think that

45
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: hearing I think sometimes people feel very isolated, right, and

46
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: they feel like they're the only ones dealing with something

47
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 1: and to hear what she's dealing with and people hearing

48
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,239
Speaker 1: what you and I've dealt with. So that's what I love.

49
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: I love that we can talk about these things and

50
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 1: people can know they're not alone.

51
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 3: So that's absolutely mean.

52
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 1: Okay, well today we're proud of you, Lexi, we are,

53
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:59,239
Speaker 1: and please could we look like her? Can we go

54
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 1: back and look like in my next life?

55
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 3: I never try blonde. Maybe I should have tried blonde.

56
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 1: No, blonde is not in my future, absolutely not. Okay,

57
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: Today though, we're going to answer, which we love, more

58
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: of your fan questions and we are so excited to

59
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 1: get into these because Susan and I have opinions about

60
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 1: just about everything.

61
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 2: And don't forget if you guys have a question for

62
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 2: Kathy and me, send them in. Just go to Bachelornation

63
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 2: dot com slash Golden Hour and we will read every

64
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 2: one of them and maybe you'll even be a guest

65
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:33,079
Speaker 2: on here.

66
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: Okay, And before we get to that, we always start

67
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: with our question of the day. Are you ready, Susan?

68
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 1: All right, now, under what circumstances do you think a

69
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: ten year age gap in a relationship can work.

70
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 2: The first thing that comes to mind is you have

71
00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 2: to be over thirty or yeah, nothing less than thirty.

72
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 2: It would never it's too young. Forty fifty. Well, my

73
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 2: age ten years is just perfectly fond. Yeah, I agree

74
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 2: with that on either way, older or younger.

75
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: Do you know what came to my mind? What my

76
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: son who you officiated their wedding? Who married a woman

77
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: ten years?

78
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 3: Ten years senor?

79
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 1: I think you're old. She's a lucky girl, a lucky girl.

80
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: I think you're onto something, though, Susan. I think if

81
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: you're too young, it doesn't work. And if you're too old, maybe,

82
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: you know, then maybe things happen in that it's hard to,

83
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 1: you know, deal with someone who maybe is not as mobile.

84
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,039
Speaker 1: But I think you're right that those middle years ten

85
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:43,559
Speaker 1: years just doesn't mean much.

86
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:47,039
Speaker 2: I mean, I remember when I was just starting to

87
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,159
Speaker 2: date late teens, and my mother would never let me

88
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 2: go out with a guy five years older. When you're

89
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 2: nineteen and he's twenty six or twenty four whatever, that's ridiculous.

90
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 2: So ten years at that age is a lot, I think.

91
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 2: But once you're thirty five, especially forty, you could do

92
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 2: fifty again, It's like.

93
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: It's like child bearing, right, so you know, if you're

94
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 1: a thirty five date and a forty five year old

95
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 1: and you don't have kids, you might have kids. I mean,

96
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 1: it just depends on the person. I think as well,

97
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: but I think it can work. I'm certainly hoping so

98
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 1: since my son has married that one. OKAYO me too?

99
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,039
Speaker 1: Are you ready to answer some questions? Go?

100
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 3: Oh, I think we should? You could go first? Or

101
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 3: number one?

102
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 1: Okay, Kylie asked Hi, Kathy and Susan. I drive an

103
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 1: hour to work and listening to you two times a

104
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 1: week makes my drive so much better. Well, we're glad, Kylie.

105
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: I am a mom. It's great, you know. Just keep

106
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,919
Speaker 1: your hands on the standing wheel. Okay. I'm a mom

107
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,679
Speaker 1: of an almost two year old and a nine week old. Lately,

108
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 1: I've been having terrible mom guilt for losing my patience

109
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: with my two year old throughout the day and not

110
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 1: spending enough one on one time with my newborn. I

111
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: go to bed feeling so guilty and quite honestly overwhelmed.

112
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: How do you work through that mom guilt? How did

113
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: you make sure each of your kids was getting that

114
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 1: one on one time with you, much love and thank you.

115
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 3: You're totally normal. I mean we all felt that way.

116
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 3: You do.

117
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,719
Speaker 2: Your patients run things sometimes and you do snap, but

118
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 2: you love them up afterwards, right.

119
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:40,479
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, it is the oldest myth out there

120
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 1: that moms can do at all, have a full time job,

121
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 1: raise their kids. You know, the old Betty Crocker with

122
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 1: an apron and making homemade cakes every day.

123
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,040
Speaker 3: It's not the way anymore. Everybody works, Susan.

124
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 1: It was never the way. So what I would say

125
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: to you, Kylie, is you know what, We're not perfect.

126
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: I think the most important thing is making sure your

127
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 1: kids know you love them. I had three I still

128
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 1: do have three children, and when they were young, I

129
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 1: would try.

130
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 3: To take one one one, one on one.

131
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: And take them to a special thing, like take my

132
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 1: daughter to the Nutcracker ballet at Christmas time, take my

133
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 1: son to a baseball game, take.

134
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 2: Going to McDonald's for But when they're young, though, the

135
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 2: other ones will cry. I mean there's a certain age

136
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 2: where you real young is good. They don't know the difference,

137
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 2: but as they get older you explain it to them.

138
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 2: Then your day is Tuesday, or your day is Sunday.

139
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 2: Mommy loves all of you, right, And I do think

140
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 2: you're totally normal.

141
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's totally normal. You shouldn't have guilt. There's enough

142
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 1: guilt in life. Don't add to it. Don't add to it, Kylie.

143
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 3: Just just go easy.

144
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: And you're saying, you know what, give yourself the grace

145
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 1: of knowing that you're a busy mom and you've got

146
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 1: a lot on your plate. And at the end of

147
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: the day, your kids know that you love them and

148
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 1: that's really all that matters. The rest of them were.

149
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 2: Do a daddy day and a mommy day. You know,

150
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 2: one goes with one, one goes with the other.

151
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,239
Speaker 1: There might not be a daddy, there might be two mommies.

152
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: Who knows. I'm just saying. I'm just saying, your kids

153
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 1: really at the end of the day, my kids. I

154
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: don't know about your Susan, but my kids don't remember

155
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 1: the you know, the gift that I got them for Christmas.

156
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 1: They don't remember the things that they got. They always

157
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 1: talk about the experiences that we had, either one on

158
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: one or as a family. So Kylie, give your kids

159
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 1: the experiences. It doesn't have to be all day. Just

160
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: spend some one on one time with them, and it's

161
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,559
Speaker 1: going to go. It's they're going to always remember that, always.

162
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 2: Mine, remember how I made them laugh and made them

163
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 2: embarrassed and.

164
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 3: We had some good times. But they do remember some

165
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 3: of the special gifts.

166
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,679
Speaker 1: And by the way, when Joey says she's overwhelmed, Kylie,

167
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:01,599
Speaker 1: welcome to motherhood. Motherhood, Yeah, call us write us in

168
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: about Oh, let's call it eighteen years and you're going

169
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 1: to feel a whole lot better.

170
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 2: You're doing fine, sweetheart, but thank you for sharing it

171
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 2: with us, and we wish you the best. Okay, this

172
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 2: one's from an anonymous they say, love your show, ladies.

173
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 2: A few years ago, we had a set of friends,

174
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 2: Doug and Mary, who asked us to introduce them to

175
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:38,439
Speaker 2: another set of friends, Kendra and Gary. Kendra and get Gary.

176
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 2: That's first time my starh right, sounds.

177
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: Like Barby Jerry. It could be Gary or Jerry. It's Gary.

178
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 2: Kendra and Gary owned vacation properties and Doug and Mary

179
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 2: mentioned wanting to be invited there. Okay, my husband and

180
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 2: I thought it would be fun, so I introduced the couples.

181
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 2: After many of an event, including travel together. Mary took

182
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 2: it up upon herself. Uh oh, to hold a retirement

183
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 2: party for Kendra, knowing we could not attend on the

184
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 2: proposed weekend out. We were rightfully upset, as we feel

185
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 2: it was done on purpose. Now the two couples get together,

186
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 2: including vacations, and leave us out. We have some relation

187
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:32,319
Speaker 2: with Kendra and Gary, but have not spoken to Mary

188
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 2: or Doug, other than Doug reaching out to my husband

189
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 2: to wish him to marry Christmas. Are we being too

190
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 2: sensitive or are we justified in limited contact?

191
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:50,960
Speaker 3: Would love your insight. Ah, wow, what do you think? Yeah?

192
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 2: I feel bad for them, but you know what I say,

193
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 2: those the other four just have more fun.

194
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 1: It's you know, there's a lot going on here. But

195
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,319
Speaker 1: at the end of it was sting me, Kathy, what

196
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 1: this happened to me? This Jesus it did? It wasn't

197
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 1: It wasn't a couples. It was a girlfriend of mine

198
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 1: and I get all the time, and I introduced her

199
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: to another friend of mine and they kind of went

200
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,199
Speaker 1: off and literally left me out and would say we're

201
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: doing this, We're doing that. Do you know that? Like

202
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 1: ten years later, one of those girls called me and

203
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 1: apologized and said it was hateful. What we did you

204
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 1: were such a nice person. I'm really sorry we did

205
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 1: that too. And my answer was so with.

206
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:33,959
Speaker 3: That the way.

207
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 2: With that being said, her calling to apologize tells me

208
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 2: they knew what they were doing.

209
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 1: Yes, and you know what so mean? Well, but you

210
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,959
Speaker 1: know what I would say to the in this situation,

211
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:50,199
Speaker 1: It was mean. But you know what not every friendship

212
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 1: or relationship is meant for a lifetime. And the fact is,

213
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 1: are you being too sensitive? What's too sensitive? Your feelings

214
00:11:58,240 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 1: have been heard?

215
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 2: They missing out too, They don't get to go anymore.

216
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:03,680
Speaker 2: They're doing it without that right.

217
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 1: So are you justified in limited contact? You're justified in

218
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:11,199
Speaker 1: doing whatever makes you feel comfortable in your friend group.

219
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 3: And so when you're justified to feel what you feel.

220
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,680
Speaker 1: Right, and if you want to get together with them,

221
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 1: get together with them, invite them over. But you know

222
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 1: what it sounds to me, guys like anymous anonymous, It

223
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 1: sounds like you're upset and you don't really want to

224
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:31,439
Speaker 1: continue the friendship. So give yourself the grace of saying,

225
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 1: you know what, it was good for a time and

226
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 1: move on with your life with your other friends.

227
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 2: But Kathy, did you see where she said they held

228
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 2: a retirement party. Knowing they couldn't attend at that on

229
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:44,839
Speaker 2: that date.

230
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 3: One would think if.

231
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 2: That were happening, oh, I would have spoke up and said,

232
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 2: oh my gosh, I can't make it that they please

233
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 2: have it a different day.

234
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 1: But again, as as often in when we're answering questions,

235
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:02,199
Speaker 1: we don't know. Maybe the people were leaving on a track,

236
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 1: you know, we don't know. It might have been the

237
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 1: only week, and that it was possible. I think if

238
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 1: that was the only event that the retirement party, I'd say,

239
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 1: get over it. You know. I'm sure there might have

240
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:18,200
Speaker 1: been a reason, but the fact that they're spending vacations

241
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 1: together and leaving them out, I hate.

242
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 3: To say it, Anonymous, and I'd be jealous.

243
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,559
Speaker 1: The friendship may have may have, you know, it may

244
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 1: have been for a season and a reason, and and

245
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 1: it's over. And I would say, Anonymous, go make some

246
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 1: new friends and cherish the memories you had, but don't don't.

247
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:40,359
Speaker 2: Feel And I say it does it dues sting, But

248
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:40,959
Speaker 2: but it's.

249
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 1: Not, you know, are we being tas.

250
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 3: You have to move on to you have to move on.

251
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 3: But I don't want her to.

252
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 2: Think never to invite I mean never introduce friends again.

253
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:50,319
Speaker 3: You know people get like that.

254
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 1: I'm never going to introduce to her. You're probably like

255
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 1: her and leads you don't worry about me, Susan, I'm

256
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 1: not going anywhere. I know you're not.

257
00:13:58,120 --> 00:13:58,559
Speaker 3: I love you.

258
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 1: I love you right. Here's the next one, Eddie Everie Wrights.

259
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 1: Hi there, Kathy and Susan. I want to say how

260
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 1: greatful I am for y'all's podcast. It truly helps me

261
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 1: get through the tough days. I'm a twenty three year

262
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 1: old military wife and a new mom. I was hoping

263
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 1: y'all could help me with some issues I've been having

264
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 1: with my mother in law. She and I had a

265
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 1: great relationship while my husband and I were dating and engaged,

266
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: But as soon as we got married, I noticed a

267
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 1: little bit of change in her attitude towards me, but

268
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 1: nothing too crazy. But as soon as our daughter was born,

269
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 1: all hell broke loose. Anything I do she has to

270
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 1: criticize me. Sounds like my mother in law anyway. For example,

271
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 1: when my daughter was first born, I was exclusively breastfeeding.

272
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 1: She would lecture me how I need to be using

273
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 1: a bottle because it's better. Once my daughter started getting teeth,

274
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 1: I switched to pumping and bottle feeding. She then started

275
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 1: criticizing me for using a bottle and said that I

276
00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 1: should only be breastfeeding. My husband is talk to her

277
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 1: many many times about the comments she has made towards me,

278
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 1: but she always blows him off and continues to make comments.

279
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 1: My husband and I also have our daughter on a

280
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 1: pretty tight schedule, but with us being military, we don't

281
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 1: get to see family often, so when we do travel

282
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 1: down to see his family, we're not super strict on

283
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 1: her schedule since we are on such a limited amount

284
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 1: of time to visit, but she always manages to make

285
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 1: a nasty comment about her schedule. She will say things

286
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 1: like if you're actually a good parent, then you don't

287
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 1: need a schedule. Every time my husband calls her out,

288
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 1: she always says the same thing. I didn't mean it

289
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 1: like that. I'm just very honest. I'm really struggling to

290
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 1: have a good relationship with her. Any advice would be great.

291
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 3: Hey, mom, GISs my butt.

292
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 1: No, you're not the mother. No you're not saying that,

293
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 1: evy No. Can I just tell you, I honestly believe

294
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 1: this is my mother in law reincarnated.

295
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 3: I truly do, he said, that before.

296
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I couldn't do anything right with my children.

297
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 3: You know what. Mother in laws can be opinionated.

298
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 1: Not me, I'm not, are you honestly my kids.

299
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 3: I take my daughter in law's side all the time.

300
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 3: I'm killing myself.

301
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I took my son in law. I'm just saying

302
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 1: I think that she's It's really tough because what happens

303
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 1: here is heavy. Your husband's in the middle. Unfortunately, he

304
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 1: loves his mom, I'm sure. And you're a new mom,

305
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 1: so you're feeling your way. Congrats by the way, on

306
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 1: the birth of your child. I also was a military wife.

307
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 1: I get it. I understand everything you're saying. I also

308
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 1: did not get to see family very often because of

309
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 1: our orders and where we were stationed. So what I

310
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 1: would say is be careful about putting your husband too

311
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,160

410
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 2: need to get a little bit more respect for yourself.

411
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 2: And you do not tolerate anyone, any person, whether it's

412
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 2: your boyfriend or a friend or a stranger for that matter,

413
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 2: to treat you in such a way.

414
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 3: That's just so disrespectful.

415
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:27,160
Speaker 1: Susan, you couldn't be more right. I love it when

416
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 1: we agree.

417
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 3: I do too.

418
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:33,440

420
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 1: honestly think he's going to change. When a man shows

421
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:44,199

Speaker 1: know what dating.

427
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:57,440
Speaker 3: He didn't treat her either.

428
00:22:57,600 --> 00:22:59,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm saying this is not going to get better

429
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:03,439
Speaker 1: if you if this relationship turns into a marriage or

430

433
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:16,879

Speaker 3: How are you doing?

437
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 2: That doesn't matter hard and he doesn't see that, and

438
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:32,440
Speaker 2: he's making three grand and his mommy and daddy pay

439
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:33,160

00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:03,680
Speaker 3: For the day. Do you confront them about it?

469
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 1: Or wait it at Okay? So here's what Susan would do,

470
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,399
Speaker 1: and don't interrupt Susan. Here's what Susan would do. She

471
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:15,159
Speaker 1: would wait until her daughter, let's call her daughter is

472
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:18,639
Speaker 1: in labor nine months later and would say, oh, what

473
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 1: a happy surprise. And if you believe that I have

474
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:23,119
Speaker 1: a wooden nickel, I'm going to sell you for a

475
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 1: million bucks. Susan would take her daughter and say, Brittany,

476
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:30,440
Speaker 1: what's up? How could you tell?

477
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 4: You?

478
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,120
Speaker 3: Get me coming out of her math?

479
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:35,199
Speaker 1: That's correct? What would I do?

480
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,120
Speaker 3: I think you do the same exact thing.

481
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 1: You'd think I would right then and there do it.

482
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, I'm so excited. As soon as you

483
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:45,199
Speaker 3: heard it, you would feel thrilled. Nope, you wouldn't that

484
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 3: you overheard it. You pretend obviously there, Yeah.

485
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 1: You overheard it. She was telling her in laws, so

486
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 1: she didn't say, hey, guess what mom and dad and

487
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 1: in law. She told the in laws what I would do?

488
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:01,640
Speaker 1: I would my daughter's Caitlin. I would the next day

489
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 1: or when we got alone, I would say, hey, you're

490
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 1: pregnant and you didn't tell me. I would, but I

491
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 1: wouldn't do it right then and there. All right, here's

492
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:15,439
Speaker 1: the next one. Ready. You catch your good friend picking

493
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 1: up one of your necklaces and putting it in their

494
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 1: pocket while they're over at your house along with some

495
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,200
Speaker 1: other friends. Do you does that mean they put other

496
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 1: friends in their pocket? Okay? Do you confront her in

497
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 1: front of everyone, wait until everyone leaves, or let it

498
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:32,359
Speaker 1: go for the night and deal with it later. What

499
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 1: would I do, Susan.

500
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:38,360
Speaker 3: Right then and there? Ding ding ding?

501
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:40,159
Speaker 1: You're absolutely right then? So would you?

502
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 3: So?

503
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 1: Brainer guy?

504
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 3: Absolutely?

505
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:48,119
Speaker 1: Because you know what, if you did that to me,

506
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 1: I would be like, she's not my crime. Yeah, I'd

507
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 1: be like, what exactly? You know? If you need? If

508
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 1: I would say to you, Susan, if you need somebody

509
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 1: to give you money, you need that. If you really

510
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 1: want that necklet give it to you.

511
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 2: Would you pull her aside or would you do it

512
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:06,680
Speaker 2: right blatantly in front of everybody?

513
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,399
Speaker 1: I would probably say if it depends on the person.

514
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 1: But were you, I'd say, Susan, get your sticky hands

515
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 1: back in your pocket. And give me my necklace back.

516
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:16,959
Speaker 1: You know, i'd make a joke of it, as I

517
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 1: often do.

518
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 2: I would call you into the other room and say, Kathy,

519
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:22,400
Speaker 2: I'm ready to cry right now.

520
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 3: I know I saw what you just did. Please tell

521
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:25,639
Speaker 3: me it's not true.

522
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 1: Why you know what? I would say?

523
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:29,400
Speaker 3: What do you think not true? Now?

524
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:33,440
Speaker 1: It's not true, your po I didn't take that diamond

525
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 1: necklace that was sitting on your dresser. That's weighing down

526
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 1: my pocket right now.

527
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 2: You know what, Kathy, I did have a friend do that. However,

528
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:40,680
Speaker 2: I did not.

529
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 3: See them do it.

530
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 1: But well, and that's the danger, And that's the danger

531
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 1: if you bring it up later. I didn't take your necklace.

532
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:48,920
Speaker 3: What are you talking about it?

533
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,199
Speaker 1: All? Right, so we're so far. You're doing well at

534
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 1: this game day. I just want to commend you. I

535
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 1: might you're playing it the right way.

536
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 3: Okay.

537
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 1: You've decided to throw a New York party for all

538
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,479
Speaker 1: of your closest friends. You send out the invitations, and

539
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:08,440
Speaker 1: your good friend that recently started seeing someone reaches out

540
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:11,360
Speaker 1: asking for a plus one. You tell her yes, as

541
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 1: long as you get to meet him first. He seems

542
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 1: really wonderful at first, but after one too many drinks,

543
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:20,120
Speaker 1: he starts getting really loud and obnoxious. Do you still

544
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 1: give her the plus one or revoke it? What would

545
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:29,439
Speaker 1: I do? Oh, Susan, come on, you really have to

546
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 1: think this hard about this one. He probably a New

547
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:35,879
Speaker 1: Year's Eve party.

548
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 3: For all your closest friends.

549
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:41,959
Speaker 2: Yes, you would tell her he can't come unless he

550
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 2: does a drink.

551
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 1: You're doing it so well up to that point.

552
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 3: Oh no, see, do what I do? Just let him.

553
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 1: I will let him come. Who cares, it's it's you're

554
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 1: looking at me like this, Kathy, like I should know.

555
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 3: Oh my god, she's gonna not let him come.

556
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna cry. By the way, you also just told

557
00:28:58,080 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 1: me what you were gonna do. You didn't let me guess.

558
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 3: Okay, I did it. I failed the only ones.

559
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 1: You know what. It's just like everything else you were doing.

560
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 1: I gave you in a in the class, and you

561
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:09,720
Speaker 1: thought you could slide and make me an inch.

562
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 3: I'd take a yard, all right.

563
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:16,040
Speaker 1: Do the next question. Your daughter in LAWA.

564
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 2: Approaches you and tells you, in an emotional state, that

565
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 2: she suspects your son is cheating on her. Do you

566
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 2: confront him, wait to hear him out, or stay out

567
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 2: of it?

568
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 1: What would I do? What? What would let me say?

569
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:35,480
Speaker 1: What you would do? There's no question you would do that.

570
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 1: You would have a confrontation, no question. But you would

571
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 1: do it nicely and you would do it privately. But

572
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:44,480
Speaker 1: you would have would punk her and cry with her

573
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:45,240
Speaker 1: and say please?

574
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 3: Maybe?

575
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:48,959
Speaker 1: No, no, that's not the question. Oh my gosh, Susan.

576
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 3: The question should not stay out of it? Can you

577
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 3: put out of it? Would you stay out of it?

578
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:57,080

Speaker 3: which is part of the game.

631
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 2: That's going to be wild ya Wait people, wait, I

632
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 2: still want to be able to do a podcast.

633
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 3: From down there on my topless feet. Okay, moving right along,

634
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 3: All right, go ahead, you got.

635
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 2: Okay, You've been dating a new guy for about six

636
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:28,680
Speaker 2: months and everything so far has been great. One night

637
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 2: you catch him going through your text messages and social

638
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:37,480
Speaker 2: media DMS, bud. He doesn't realize you see him. Do

639
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 2: you confront him or let it go?

640
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:43,720
Speaker 1: Okay, all of you listeners out there, when we have

641
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 1: these moral quandaries, if one of the choices is let

642
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 1: it go. For the most part, when I'm guessing Susan's answer,

643
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 1: let it go is not in her vocabulary, therefore.

644
00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 3: One hundred percent correct.

645
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 1: This is why we love each other. What would I do?

646
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 1: And don't get this wrong, think, well.

647
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 2: I'm overthinking. But if you have nothing to hide, maybe

648
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:10,240
Speaker 2: you wouldn't say a word.

649
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 1: You are so wrong. I absolutely would confirm that as

650
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:17,240
Speaker 1: an invasion of privacy. He has no right, never mind

651
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 1: dating a guy six months it says a new guy.

652
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 1: I would absently say, what the hell do you think

653
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 1: you're doing? And if you don't trust me, and if
