1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,400
Speaker 1: Hey, this is Sam, this is John, and we are

2
00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:05,760
Speaker 1: the founding hosts of Okay Storytime podcast.

3
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:08,080
Speaker 2: And we have some foundational stories coming up for you.

4
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:11,040
Speaker 1: But the thing is this foundation needs a little support

5
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:12,320
Speaker 1: from these sponsors.

6
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 3: So stick around two minutes we'll get into the episode.

7
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:19,279
Speaker 4: My sister in law hijacked my son's birthday, so I

8
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:21,480
Speaker 4: refused to babysit for her.

9
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 5: You hijack, you get no seit.

10
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 4: You missed with my son. No, I'll never look after

11
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 4: your son again. I have thirty eight female and married

12
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 4: to my husband, Joe, thirty eight male. We have been

13
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 4: married for six years now and have two children together,

14
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 4: our four year old son and two year old daughter.

15
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 4: I also have my older son, fourteen, Mail, whose father

16
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:42,839
Speaker 4: is not active in his life. By the way, this

17
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,559
Speaker 4: comes from Cool Trust eight thousand and eight and if

18
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 4: you want to spit your own stories, go to our Sashoke.

19
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 4: Storytime subured it so. Additionally, four point five years ago,

20
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 4: while I was pregnant with our son, my best friend

21
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 4: of twenty five years passed away. When she passed away,

22
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 4: I took in my god son, who is now seventeen,

23
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 4: with a seventeen year old a fourteen year old, a

24
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 4: four year old and a two year old in the house.

25
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 4: I'm pretty busy even as a stay at home mom.

26
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 6: I'm at a holder.

27
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 4: That's how a lot of kids, and also kids with

28
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 4: Matt like very different needs.

29
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:21,040
Speaker 7: Very different needs, and you're probably ubering them everywhere, taking

30
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 7: them practices, all this stuff.

31
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,680
Speaker 4: My fourteen year old has always been home educated, and

32
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 4: my younger two will be as well. This is important

33
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 4: and you'll see why. My godson finished his schooling as

34
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,319
Speaker 4: per his mother's wishes and is now in college. My

35
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 4: fourteen year old will also be going to college once

36
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 4: he completes his GCSEs. He has already earned three at

37
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 4: only four fourteen years old.

38
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 5: Wow.

39
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 4: My brother in law, Tom thirty five male, and his

40
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 4: girlfriend Jenna twenty nine female have been together for two

41
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 4: and a half years. Neither of them have much of

42
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 4: a relationship with my kids, and that's fine, no big deal.

43
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,639
Speaker 4: Until this year, we just assumed they weren't kid people

44
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 4: and honestly never expected Tom or Jenna to have children.

45
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 4: They're perfectly okay people, to be clear, but they never

46
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 4: showed much interest in our youngest children. Aside from a

47
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 4: birthday card with a gift card inside, they've also rarely

48
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 4: acknowledged the older two kids. That all changed last Christmas

49
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 4: when they announced they were expecting.

50
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 5: Oh wow, that's kind of a switch up.

51
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, everyone, including my mother in law, was completely surprised,

52
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 4: but extremely supportive. There was even more surprise in January

53
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 4: when they found out they were expecting twin girls. As

54
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 4: the months passed and my two year old outgrew clothes

55
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,920
Speaker 4: and baby gear, I offered them to Jenna to help out.

56
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 4: She was very grateful. In July, they welcomed their two

57
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 4: adorable little girls. The whole family bent over backward to

58
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,799
Speaker 4: support Jenna and Tom. When the twins were just over

59
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 4: two weeks old, Jenna had a medical emergency and was

60
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 4: hospitalized for a few days. Tom explained that with Jenna

61
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 4: only receiving maternity pay and his paternity leave already taken,

62
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 4: they couldn't afford for him to take any more time

63
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,679
Speaker 4: off work. I was more than happy to help out,

64
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 4: so for five days I watched the newborns alongside my

65
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 4: own children so that Tom could continue working and have

66
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 4: time to visit Jenna in the hospital, which is so

67
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:26,359
Speaker 4: incredibly like kind generous of op Absolutely two newborns plus

68
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 4: four kids like just one newborn is such a huge undertaking.

69
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 4: It was exhausting but completely necessary at the time, and

70
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 4: if I had my time again, I'd absolutely do the

71
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 4: same thing. Once Jenna was released, Tom picked up the

72
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 4: twins but looked upset. He explained that Jenna had been

73
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 4: told to take it easier for a few weeks, and

74
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 4: he was worried about how she would manage regular household

75
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 4: duties and meal prep without him having to cut work hours,

76
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 4: which they couldn't afford. Honestly, I felt bad for him.

77
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 4: He works hard, but money just doesn't stretch that far

78
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 4: these days. My husband and I are far from wealthy,

79
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 4: but we are comfortable and our arrangement works for us.

80
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 4: I'm incredibly fortunate to be in a position where I

81
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 4: can stay home and raise our children. I offer Tom

82
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,719
Speaker 4: that if Jenna was ever feeling overwhelmed, I wouldn't mind

83
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 4: helping out from time to time. Over the next few days,

84
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,600
Speaker 4: I batch cooked meals and drop them off at their

85
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:26,480
Speaker 4: home to try and make things easier. Aw things that

86
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 4: are just so incredibly generous, and I keep feeling like

87
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 4: something like the shoes about to drop whenever I stop by.

88
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 4: I always had my younger children with me, but still

89
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 4: took the time to tidy up the kitchen, make sure

90
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 4: the twins were fed and changed, and help however I could.

91
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 4: That said, I have four children and my own household run,

92
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 4: so I could only do so much. But for those

93
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 4: few weeks I did everything in my power to help.

94
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 4: My husband, Joe was overwhelmed by how much I was doing.

95
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 4: My mother in law also helped Jenna whenever she could,

96
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 4: but she still works, so her time was limited. By September,

97
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 4: Jenna was doing much better physically, so I began to

98
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 4: scale back the help I was offering. By that point,

99
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:14,280
Speaker 4: I had filled her entire chest a freezer with enough

100
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 4: meals to last them at least another six weeks, if

101
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:22,280
Speaker 4: not longer, all at our expense, But I digress. Since then,

102
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 4: I have watched the twins a few times. They are

103
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 4: now almost five months old, and they're absolute darlings. My

104
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 4: children and I are very fond of them. Last weekend

105
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 4: was my four year old's birthday. After a fun soft

106
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,119
Speaker 4: play party with his friends, my husband and I planned

107
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 4: a family dinner for him. In attendance were me, my husband,

108
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 4: are four kids, my mother in law sixty four female,

109
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 4: her special friend John sixty five, mail, Tom, Jenna and

110
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 4: their twins. Side note, I don't know why my husband

111
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 4: and Tom called John our special friend. They're weird about

112
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 4: calling him her boyfriend. John and mother in law don't

113
00:05:57,720 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 4: live together, but have been supporting each other for the

114
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 4: last decade and seem happy. No big deal, he's always

115
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 4: been wealth. Jenna had recently reconnected with her much younger sister,

116
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 4: Ashley twenty female and asked if she could bring her

117
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,359
Speaker 4: I agreed because I was happy to see Jenna expanding

118
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 4: her support network. Okay, everything was going great until May

119
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 4: through dinner, when Jenna mentioned that, after seeing how well

120
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 4: my fourteen year old was doing with home education, she

121
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 4: was seriously considering it for the twins.

122
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 7: But they but they can't do that, right because if

123
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 7: he is to stay at home, mom, yeah, and their

124
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 7: family and like their family can't. But I don't think

125
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 7: you're able to.

126
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 4: Oh no, no, no, no, no no no. The conversation didn't

127
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,600
Speaker 4: exactly come out of nowhere. My mother in law had

128
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,039
Speaker 4: just been asking about how I planned to transition my

129
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,159
Speaker 4: four year old into homeschooling. I told Jenna I thought

130
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 4: it was great. She was considering home education and assured

131
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 4: her that if she ever needed a guidance, I'd be

132
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:03,600
Speaker 4: happy to help. I see you. I think Jenna's gonna

133
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 4: be like, you should homeschool with my kids. You should

134
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 4: just you should just teach my kids.

135
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 6: What's another paracid?

136
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 4: What's another what's another two kids? I thought that would

137
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 4: be the end of it, But boy, was I wrong.

138
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 4: Jenna looked confused and turned to Tom as if I

139
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:23,119
Speaker 4: was missing something. Tom buried his head in his shirt.

140
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 4: My husband noticed and asked if everything was okay. Jenna

141
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 4: then said she had just assumed that since I'd be

142
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 4: watching the twins when she went back to work in

143
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 4: two months, I would also be the one to provide

144
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 4: their education when the time came. Why did he be

145
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 4: agreed that she was watching the kids?

146
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 7: Remember whenever she said she, you know, teaches her own kids,

147
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 7: that's when she agreed to teach my Oh remember, Lord?

148
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 5: Do you remember that part?

149
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 4: Lordy Lord? Fine print is entitled yeah, you must have

150
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 4: not read it when I didn't write it there. I'm sorry.

151
00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 4: When was there ever an agreement for me to watch

152
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 4: the twins once you go back to work? I said?

153
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 4: Jenna said, Well, things you don't work, Tom and I

154
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 4: thought it just made the most sense for the twins

155
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 4: to come here rather than pay for childcare since we

156
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 4: can't afford it. I recognize that not affording childcare is

157
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 4: a big problem for a lot of people, but that

158
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 4: is not a peace problem. Yeah, that's your problem as

159
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 4: the parents. It's your problem, and you can ask for

160
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 4: help for other people. But if they say no.

161
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 5: You got to figure that out.

162
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:32,319
Speaker 4: It's not their problem.

163
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, oh my gosh.

164
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 4: I quickly looked to my husband for support, and he

165
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 4: confirmed that no conversation about this had ever taken place.

166
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 4: Jenna insisted that it would just be like when I

167
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 4: was in the hospital. She explained that the twins would

168
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 4: come to us, meaning me, when both she and Tom

169
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 4: were at work. You said it made the most sense

170
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 4: for them, Yeah, getting free childcare. Of course, that makes

171
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 4: the most sense for you. She even added, don't worry,

172
00:08:57,920 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 4: it's not like we're gonna expect you to cook meals

173
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 4: and everything like last time, although it would be appreciated

174
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 4: from time to time.

175
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:13,079
Speaker 8: Y'all are the most freaking, oh my, just entitled, entitled

176
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 8: people I ever met.

177
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 7: Can we do like a small little rebel? Just as

178
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 7: small and small? Whenever we have our houses. Yeah, our

179
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 7: compound has figured it out. We could probably have like

180
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 7: each day we can go to one person's house and

181
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 7: they have like family dinners or whatever.

182
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 4: I would love that.

183
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:32,199
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's like Monday's tesdays and you can make it great.

184
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 7: If not, don't worry about it. Yeah, and like.

185
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 4: I'll take care of our kids.

186
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 5: Yeah. Oh yeah, so the honors are going to come over,

187
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 5: the whole donors are coming all.

188
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 7: Well, we got all the do we got the donner

189
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 7: party and the fry party here.

190
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, what's going on?

191
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:49,959
Speaker 4: This is our compound?

192
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:51,319
Speaker 5: Yeah, we got a compound. You want to join?

193
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 2: Yeah?

194
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 6: Sure, I love you guys. Why not?

195
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 5: All right? Cool? Yeah, yeah, we'll get you there. You

196
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 5: and Dakota can have a place.

197
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 6: Yeah oh no, no, no, no, okay, I mean Carly

198
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 6: can have a place.

199
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, sure, you guys, you and Carly can.

200
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 4: I honestly didn't know where to look or what to say. Thankfully,

201
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 4: at that moment, my two year old started fussing, tired

202
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 4: from the evening. My mother in law, apparently sensing the awkwardness,

203
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 4: quickly stood up and offered to take her to bed.

204
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 4: I thanked her and sensing the conversation wasn't ending anytime soon.

205
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 4: Encouraged my four year old to follow grandma upstairs and

206
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 4: help her find everything she needed to settle her youngest.

207
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 4: Both older boys, also picking up on the tension, excused

208
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 4: themselves and headed outside to the little man cave I

209
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 4: had set up for them in the shed. They were, oh,

210
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 4: let's go. That just left me, my husband, Tom, Jenna, Ashley,

211
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 4: and John sitting around the table. The twins were asleep

212
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 4: in the next room in their pram. The conversation continued,

213
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 4: with Jenna excitedly talking about how much she was looking

214
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 4: forward to returning to work in a few months. My husband,

215
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 4: noticing how uncomfortable I was, took the lead. He firmly

216
00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 4: stated that at no point had anyone to say with

217
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 4: either of us the idea of me watching the twins

218
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,440
Speaker 4: while they worked. To be clear, this would mean five

219
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 4: days a week Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Sunday.

220
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 5: Oh what.

221
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 4: Jenna responded that she didn't think it would be that

222
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 4: big of a deal since, in her words, oh, he

223
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 4: just stays home with the kids all day anyway, It's

224
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,359
Speaker 4: not like it would be any real hardship.

225
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:27,839
Speaker 5: Then you do it, Yeah, yeah, about you watched them

226
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 5: five days out.

227
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 4: Do you watch your own kids five days out of

228
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 4: the week?

229
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 7: Oh, she already has so many, like it probably won't

230
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 7: even be that big.

231
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: Of a deal.

232
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 4: Or why don't you watch your own kids? I hate

233
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 4: this person? Weird At that, my husband defended me again.

234
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 4: He pointed out that et at that of everyone at

235
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 4: the table, I arguably worked the hardest, since I was

236
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 4: raising four children, maintaining a home, and taking full responsibility

237
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 4: for their education. He told them that if they perceived

238
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 4: that as me not doing anything, then they were welcome

239
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 4: to try it themselves. Yeah, I like your husband. Tom

240
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 4: looked embarrassed and horrified. Jenna, on the other hand, looked offended.

241
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 4: She then said that at least her children were related

242
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:14,080
Speaker 4: to mine. You about to make a crack at that

243
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 4: seventeen year old you about to you about to say

244
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 4: something about the opie's literal like adopted son. I think so, Opie,

245
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,959
Speaker 4: I'm sense and ops about yourself. If if you're trying

246
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 4: to get someone on your side and you're out here

247
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 4: saying that, dude, y'all don't know Hell no, no, Unlike

248
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 4: my seventeen year old godson, since since he was just

249
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:42,199
Speaker 4: dumped on your laps a few years ago. This is

250
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,199
Speaker 4: where I may be the a hole. I lost it. Girl,

251
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 4: You're not the a hole.

252
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 3: Yeah.

253
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 4: If you poke a bear and they lash out, that's

254
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:51,680
Speaker 4: on you.

255
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's not her person with the stick in their hand.

256
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 4: I told her, in no uncertain terms, how dare she

257
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 4: come into my home and talk about my seventeen year

258
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,200
Speaker 4: old that way? He wasn't dumped on us. His mother

259
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 4: and I had been best friend since before Jenna was

260
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 4: even born. When my friend was dying, her one wish

261
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 4: was that he come to live with me, because I

262
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 4: was the one constant he had known in his entire life.

263
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 4: His biological father had emigrated to New Zealand when he

264
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,199
Speaker 4: was two and had never even returned for a visit

265
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,320
Speaker 4: until I met my husband. My best friend and I

266
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,079
Speaker 4: had raised her boys as single mother's side by side.

267
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 4: There was nowhere else in the world that my god

268
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 4: son belonged more than in my home.

269
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 6: Yeah.

270
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 4: Jenna immediately tried to backtrack, saying all she meant was

271
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 4: that if I didn't mind caring for someone else's child

272
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 4: full time, she didn't see why I would have an

273
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 4: issue caring for her children part time.

274
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 7: Tom out you're just trying to switch to sob being

275
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,560
Speaker 7: trying to manipulate this in a way that works for you.

276
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,959
Speaker 4: Early, early, I would literally be like, I don't want

277
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 4: to see you guys.

278
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 7: Ever again, Well that was nice. You're not getting any

279
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:54,319
Speaker 7: more chicken palm pie.

280
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 4: Yeah you're not. I'm not cooking for y'all. Ever again,

281
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 4: that would suck.

282
00:13:57,840 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 5: Dude.

283
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 4: Oh John bless him, looked extremely uncomfortable and excuse himself

284
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 4: to go upstairs and help mother in law wrangle the

285
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 4: little ones into bed. I told Jenna that whilst I

286
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,679
Speaker 4: loved the twins, I was not in a position to

287
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 4: commit to watching them for that much time. Every reason

288
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 4: I gave she countered. I told her that I don't

289
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 4: have a seven seater car, so if I made this commitment,

290
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 4: I'd be committed to either having to keep all the

291
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 4: children in the house or leaving the older two boys

292
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 4: at home so I could have enough space in the

293
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 4: car for my two youngest plus the twins. She didn't

294
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 4: see an issue with that, since the boys are old

295
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 4: enough to be left. I pointed out that part of

296
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 4: our home education plan involved regularly driving my fourteen year

297
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 4: old to day trips and social gatherings to ensure he's

298
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 4: not missing out on anything. And I wouldn't be able

299
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 4: to do this if I was also caring for her

300
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 4: twins because of the car space. She said, well, he's

301
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 4: already got three gcsees, though, we surely can just ride

302
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 4: it out until he's sixteen and head off to college

303
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 4: with just those three. This woman doesn't know anything about parenting.

304
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 7: She doesn't, and she doesn't I'm a freaking clue. She's like, Oh,

305
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 7: let me delegate this.

306
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, you can't delegate your parenting, girl.

307
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 7: And you were right. They aren't kid people. Doesn't seem

308
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 7: like they. She wants to take any responsibility yea, ope.

309
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, op. He said that at the beginning. Oh, I

310
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 4: didn't expect these people to have kids. They don't want

311
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 4: these kids. Don't they want you. They want the optics

312
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 4: of having kids, but they want you to take care

313
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 4: of them. I told her that's absolutely not how it works,

314
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 4: and that she would have to come up with an

315
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 4: alternative arrangement. The conversation went back and forth for some time.

316
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 4: Tom was mostly quiet, Ashley looked like a deer in

317
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 4: headlights aside from the odd smirk, and my husband was

318
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 4: firmly on my side of things. Jenna, however, was insistent

319
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 4: this made the most sense for her family and couldn't

320
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 4: understand why I was being so unreasonable. Basically, the gist

321
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 4: of it was that Tom and Jenna had assumed I'd

322
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 4: have no issue taking care of the twins for them

323
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 4: for free. They wanted me to have them for five

324
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 4: days a week, including us, say, which is the one

325
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 4: day a week my husband is guaranteed to have off work,

326
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 4: so we allocate it for family time. Sometime later, my

327
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 4: mother in law appeared back downstairs, having successfully gotten my

328
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 4: two year old settled into bed. She told me that

329
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 4: my four year old was asking for me to read

330
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 4: them a story. I excuse myself and headed upstairs. I

331
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 4: spent a little extra time on his bedtime reading, mainly

332
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 4: because it was birthday and I felt bad that dinner

333
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 4: had turned into this. I hope that by the time

334
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 4: I came back, the conversation would have moved on. I

335
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 4: doubt it. I doubt it because they haven't gotten what

336
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 4: they wanted.

337
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 7: They haven't gotten what they wanted, and they still got

338
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 7: to put these kids in someone else's hands, and these kids.

339
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 4: Off Twenty minutes later, I couldn't have been more wrong.

340
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 4: When I got back downstairs, my husband was still arguing

341
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 4: with his brother and Jenna about the situation.

342
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 7: What what what kind of crazy town did you guys

343
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 7: just come from.

344
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 4: I'd be like, you guys need to leave now. I

345
00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 4: don't want to see you.

346
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 5: Now, right freaking now.

347
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,359
Speaker 4: I noticed when I glanced the doorway that the twins

348
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 4: pram wasn't in the other room, so I asked where

349
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 4: they were. Jenna stated that they'd woken up fussy, and

350
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:11,920
Speaker 4: since they were trying to make my husband see sense,

351
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 4: they asked my fourteen year old and seventeen year old

352
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 4: to occupy them, and now they're handing off the kids

353
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 4: to yet another group. She then made a comment about

354
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 4: how easy it would be for me to have twins

355
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 4: because my boys were capable of helping.

356
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 5: What, let's parentify their kids.

357
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, so she's like, she's like, okay, you guys, compare

358
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 4: my kids. And he's like no, and she's like, okay,

359
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:38,440
Speaker 4: what about your kids? Compare my kids? Also, the one

360
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:40,439
Speaker 4: that she literally said you can just get rid of

361
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,439
Speaker 4: like you already was like you already have like a

362
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:46,360
Speaker 4: random kid dumped on you was too much. I just

363
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,439
Speaker 4: insulted that kid, and now she's like, oh, you have

364
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:50,119
Speaker 4: to parent my kids. Yeah, by the way you compare

365
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 4: my kids, that really rough. Make it makes a wrong way.

366
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 4: It was me the wrong way. She made disparaging remarks

367
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 4: about my lifestyle, which was one thing, but asking my

368
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,439
Speaker 4: children to watch her twins just so she could argue

369
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 4: her point further did something to me. I removed myself

370
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 4: from the room and went out to the shed. To

371
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,479
Speaker 4: be clear, this is basically a fully functioning room. It

372
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:14,440
Speaker 4: has heating, electricity, et cetera.

373
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 5: I want to sit like this now.

374
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,119
Speaker 4: Yeah, well we do kind of a shed, we just

375
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:20,359
Speaker 4: don't have heating.

376
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, we don't have heating. It is almost fully functional. Yeah,

377
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 7: but I'm like a show to play video games in.

378
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,160
Speaker 4: Only a video game shit the bear.

379
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:32,359
Speaker 6: Well gamer shit gamer shit y gamer channel.

380
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:36,440
Speaker 4: Fully functional. We'll just make a whole gaming corner in there.

381
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 5: Where would we put it in that closet?

382
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:43,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, in the closet, and we'll have beauty bean bags.

383
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 5: My gosh.

384
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a special place I created for my older

385
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,120
Speaker 4: two boys to escape from the craziness of having younger

386
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 4: children around. They hang out there. They've got their game

387
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:58,119
Speaker 4: system and mini fridge and their own space. Neither of

388
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 4: my younger children have ever been in there, because I've

389
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,880
Speaker 4: made sure it's a safe place for my older boys

390
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:06,680
Speaker 4: to retreat to. I don't agree with parentifying children. Good

391
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 4: on you. When I got there, I saw my seventeen

392
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 4: year old desperately trying to calm one of the twins

393
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 4: while my fourteen year old was rocking the pram with

394
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 4: his foot to keep the other one asleep. I apologized

395
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:20,679
Speaker 4: to them, strap the baby my seventeen year old was

396
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 4: holding back into the pram and took the twins back inside.

397
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 4: I told Jenna she needed to leave my house and

398
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 4: go home to tend to her babies. At this point,

399
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:35,200
Speaker 4: I was done. The audacity had gone too far. Tom

400
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,679
Speaker 4: was trying to encourage Jenna to leave, and this was

401
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 4: when Ashley decided to have her say. She told Jenna

402
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 4: that if she'd known what a witch I was, she'd

403
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:47,160
Speaker 4: never have wanted to come to dinner anyway. She said,

404
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 4: I was clearly unhinged, only cared for myself and didn't

405
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:55,159
Speaker 4: know what the meaning of family was. Oh, so this

406
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:59,640
Speaker 4: is the mother in law. Al yeah, girl, you I'm

407
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:02,440
Speaker 4: sorry if you have anything to say about someone who

408
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 4: is not the parent of these kids, not parenting these kids,

409
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:09,160
Speaker 4: then you do it. You'll take care of these kids.

410
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 7: The only way I'm saying yes to this offer, yeah,

411
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 7: is if she signs a contract that the kids stay

412
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 7: with me until they're three.

413
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 4: It's like, Okay, I'm adopting these kids.

414
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 5: I'm adopting you're giving I'm adopting them.

415
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 7: And I also have a business on the side, so

416
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 7: they have to work with for me until they're twenty three.

417
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 4: Dang, we're paying them.

418
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 5: We're paying them.

419
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 7: We're paying them because it works as our taxes as

420
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 7: tax reduction, and they will be fine.

421
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:40,360
Speaker 5: But we have workers to work at a sawmill. That's

422
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:42,159
Speaker 5: what I do on oh two helpers.

423
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 4: Heck you I got them.

424
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, oh yeah.

425
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:47,119
Speaker 7: They can start picking green bees when they're seven, when

426
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:47,639
Speaker 7: they're five.

427
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:50,160
Speaker 4: As of children, they.

428
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 5: Can start working. They can start shoveling at four.

429
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 4: This mother in law is crazy. Literally, I just be like, Okay,

430
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,399
Speaker 4: you take care of the kids. If you think that

431
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 4: I'm not, If i'm not, if I don't know what

432
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 4: the meaning of family is, then you take.

433
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 7: Care of because yeah, I take care of the kids.

434
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 7: When they're four, they start working on the sawmill in

435
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 7: between the like lumber going down the green chain.

436
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 5: We have a teacher teaching them how to like add exactly,

437
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:15,919
Speaker 5: and they have like a how.

438
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:19,640
Speaker 4: Any lumber are on the how did you got today?

439
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 7: And they do like they ride the ABC's on the

440
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,879
Speaker 7: lumber with mark and they do addition to substraction on it.

441
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 4: If I split the lumber into four? How what faction

442
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 4: is that? Unfortunately, my seventeen year old had followed me

443
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:36,119
Speaker 4: back inside and did not take kindly to Ashley talking

444
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 4: to me that way. He told her to never speak

445
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,440
Speaker 4: to me like that again. Mother in law was desperately

446
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 4: trying to keep the peace, but I was done.

447
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 6: Shout out to the seventeen year old.

448
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,160
Speaker 4: Is Ashley not the mother in law? His mother in law?

449
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:49,959
Speaker 4: Who's Ashley?

450
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:50,680
Speaker 6: Is that the sister?

451
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 4: Can someone remind me who Ashley is?

452
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,440
Speaker 5: I think Ashley's a twenty year old?

453
00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 4: Oh, Mami says, I think Ashley is the sister, not

454
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:04,719
Speaker 4: mother in law. Okay, so we have Ashley is the sister,

455
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 4: and then John is the brother and Jenna is the

456
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 4: sister in law.

457
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, cool, A lot of characters here.

458
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,160
Speaker 4: My seventeen year old told Ashley that if she didn't leave,

459
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 4: he'd remove her himself, since he was closer to her

460
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,720
Speaker 4: age than anyone else was. Jenna then told him to

461
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:23,879
Speaker 4: watch his mouth or he would have to deal with

462
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:25,639
Speaker 4: her since he wasn't even family.

463
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:34,439
Speaker 5: Po pop pop pop bam, bam bam, Goeta, taste your

464
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 5: own medicine.

465
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 4: That was the final straw. I started counting down from

466
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:42,640
Speaker 4: ten and told her to get out of my house. Honestly,

467
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 4: the whole thing was ridiculous and my poor four year

468
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:49,200
Speaker 4: old's birthday meal had been totally hijacked. Jenna, Ashley, Tom,

469
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:53,200
Speaker 4: and their babies left. Mother in law's special friend also

470
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 4: saw fit to leave. I took some time to talk

471
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 4: to my boys, especially my seventeen year old, because that

472
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:01,680
Speaker 4: boy had been through so much and this is his home.

473
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 4: He was okay, he's nerdiverse and has additional needs, but

474
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 4: he is fiercely predictive of me and his now siblings.

475
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,440
Speaker 4: Mother in law helped my husband clear the table. When

476
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 4: I got back from speaking to the older boys. Mother

477
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:17,200
Speaker 4: in law apologized. You said she had been told beforehand

478
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 4: that I would be watching the twins, but had assumed

479
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 4: it was a mutual agreement between us. I assured her

480
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:26,159
Speaker 4: it hadn't been. She admitted she felt bad that she

481
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 4: wasn't able to help Tom and Jenna more than she

482
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 4: currently does. Honestly, if I had had the capacity to

483
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:34,359
Speaker 4: do it, I likely would have, But five days a

484
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 4: week was way too much, especially when it hadn't even

485
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 4: been discussed, it had just been assumed. It's been a

486
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 4: week now and Jenna has been blocked by me after

487
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 4: blowing up my phone with calls and texts about how

488
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 4: rude I was to her. Tom stopped by the other

489
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 4: night in an attempt to smooth things over and asked

490
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 4: if there was any way I'd be willing to help

491
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:57,680
Speaker 4: with childcare. I reiterated that as much as I love

492
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,040
Speaker 4: and adore the twins, I just can't take on that

493
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 4: level commitment and still maintain my fourteen year old's education.

494
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:07,119
Speaker 4: I think you also say, also, even if I could,

495
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 4: I don't want to because you guys are incredibly rude,

496
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 4: and you guys.

497
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 5: Suck selp absorbs.

498
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 7: Yeah, because I know the second you hand off the twins, Yeah,

499
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 7: there's gonna be taken.

500
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 4: You give them an inch, tickt them mile.

501
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:22,360
Speaker 5: They're gonna Hey can you also do this? Hey?

502
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:24,159
Speaker 7: Can you also in my house and before you know,

503
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:27,400
Speaker 7: more kids you're gonna be weed eating in their house

504
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:30,400
Speaker 7: as they're sipping on lemonade inside watching a baseball game.

505
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:33,639
Speaker 4: And you're like fanning them well, feeding them grapes. I

506
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 4: worked way too hard on his education for the past

507
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:39,359
Speaker 4: decade to let it fall apart. Now, I did offer

508
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 4: to have the twins one day a week on your

509
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:45,200
Speaker 4: too nice, opie, you are too freaking nice.

510
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 7: Maybe they were just they were just looking for one

511
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 7: day and they were like, we's just gonna start with five.

512
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, and then worked the area because that's the one day.

513
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 4: My son doesn't have any commitments that require me to

514
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,679
Speaker 4: leave the house. But besides that, there really isn't anything

515
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 4: more I can do. We are part of a very

516
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 4: large homeschooling community in our area and have lots of

517
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 4: clubs and groups we attend. Even my youngest two are

518
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:10,199
Speaker 4: involved in them. But getting to these activities requires a car,

519
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:13,159
Speaker 4: and like I said, I physically wouldn't be able to

520
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:15,400
Speaker 4: fit all of the children in my five seater car.

521
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 4: Tom even suggested to my husband that we purchase a

522
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 4: bigger car since there are six of us anyway, but honestly,

523
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 4: it's never been an issue. My husband and I both

524
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,400
Speaker 4: have cars, so when he's around, if we're all going somewhere,

525
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 4: we just use both. It's never been a big deal

526
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 4: until now. After Tom left, my husband asked if I

527
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:38,159
Speaker 4: if I'd be interested in getting a bigger car. I

528
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,639
Speaker 4: told him I wasn't opposed to the idea, since running

529
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 4: just one car for family outings would be cheaper in

530
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:47,119
Speaker 4: the long run. However, I wasn't keen because it would

531
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 4: give Tom and jen On the idea that I now

532
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:53,639
Speaker 4: had space for the twins. Four kids under five plus

533
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 4: two teenagers five days a week is just too much.

534
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 4: My fourteen year old also has additional needs that require

535
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 4: one on one time for his education. Right now, our

536
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:06,680
Speaker 4: younger two are on a pretty good schedule that allows

537
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 4: me to make that happen. But if I had two

538
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:11,399
Speaker 4: babies in the house for most of the week, plus

539
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 4: needing to focus more heavily on my four year old's education,

540
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:16,440
Speaker 4: I just wouldn't have the time to give my son

541
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 4: the attention he needs. And honestly, call me petty, but

542
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 4: after the way Jenna spoke about me and my seventeen

543
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 4: year old, I'm not inclined to do anything more to

544
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 4: help than the one Tuesday a week I already agreed

545
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:32,199
Speaker 4: to abs a freaking loot. Dude, You're already giving so

546
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 4: much to one day a week is a lot. It

547
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:41,239
Speaker 4: is it's for people to mistreat you. We found our

548
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 4: mother in law has agreed to take the twins on

549
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 4: a Sunday as she doesn't work weekends, so that left

550
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 4: Tom and Jenna with having to find childcare for three

551
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:53,200
Speaker 4: days a week. Jenna still hasn't let up. I unblocked

552
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 4: her this morning to message her because I found out

553
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:58,359
Speaker 4: she's been texting my two older boys asking them to

554
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 4: ask me to reconsider, et cetera. She even told fourteen

555
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:04,160
Speaker 4: year old that having the twins around would help him

556
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:07,199
Speaker 4: feel more part of the family. Let me remind you

557
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:10,399
Speaker 4: these people have always been indifferent to the older two boys.

558
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:13,640
Speaker 4: Mother in law is always loved and doated on all

559
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:16,199
Speaker 4: four of my children. It's just Tom and Jenna that

560
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:21,119
Speaker 4: view the older two differently. That was I just I

561
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:25,240
Speaker 4: like zoned out reading that? Yeah, how did that happen?

562
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:27,119
Speaker 5: I don't know? You zone out a lot?

563
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:28,879
Speaker 6: What what did I just read?

564
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 9: You?

565
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:30,400
Speaker 3: Have you have.

566
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 7: Fully comprehended how to zone out in any time at all?

567
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 5: Crazy.

568
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 7: It's like a superpower. You know how people freeze time?

569
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 7: You don't how to zone out?

570
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:43,919
Speaker 4: Sorry, I just like was fully thinking about like getting

571
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 4: a C in third grade.

572
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 7: Oh, I got to see in third grade two, I

573
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 7: was thinking about starting out the YouTube channel and it

574
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 7: was going to be reading bedtime stories to kids.

575
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:58,120
Speaker 4: That that's insane. Sorry, does anyone know what happened? Just then?

576
00:27:58,280 --> 00:27:59,640
Speaker 6: You want to reread that one more time?

577
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 5: Just one sentence and I can go back.

578
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 6: One page, to go back one page. Just hey, show screen,

Speaker 3: You go okay.

00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 4: I don't know how I did that. Jenna doesn't. I'm

585
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:23,200
Speaker 4: blocked this morning to messenger. I read it. I read

586
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:24,879
Speaker 4: it well. I don't think I need to reread it.

587
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 6: I think I like you don't like when you drive

588

00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 6: deep breath.

596
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 4: That was weird.

597
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 6: Get back on track.

598
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 4: So, as of this morning, I rescinded my offer to

00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:50,040

00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 4: They're not freaking paying you.

607
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 5: You don't even know these kids. You don't even like

00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 5: these people.

609
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 4: You don't like them. They suck.

617
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:37,440

00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 7: they're like, my beagle needs to needs a job. Treats

619
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:44,040

621
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:47,840

00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 7: How can it pay for its own food. How can

00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:52,240
Speaker 7: it pay for its toys and everything?

625

00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 4: it just went straight up the ear. I was like,

628
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 4: I can't listen.

629
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 7: To that is actually smart because I do if I

630
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 7: get a job. I wanted to be self sustaining in

631
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 7: its own way.

632
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, I take what a dog?

633
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 5: Yeah?

634
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 6: Oh he said, team wanted to be.

635
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 4: Able to pay for it. My husband is sad because

636
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 4: this has caused a rift between him and his brother,

637
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 4: but he totally supports me in my decision, especially after

638
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 4: seeing the messages that Jenna sent to fourteen year old.

639
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 4: I hate that he's sad, but feel strongly that I

640
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 4: made the right decision. Mother in law has said she's

641
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 4: staying out of the argument because she's worried Jena will

642
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 4: use any stance she takes as a way to alienate

643
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 4: her from the twins' lives. So after all that, am

644
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 4: I the ale? I'm gonna be honest mother in law one?

645
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 4: So one, there is an update. Two, You're not the ale. Three.

646
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 4: I think if the mother in law just says I

647
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 4: I'll take care of the kids, they won't cut her

648
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 4: out of the life. Whatever she says, you know, if

649
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:55,960
Speaker 4: she stands up for op but she's like, I'll take

650
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 4: care of the kids on Tuesday. They'll be like, okay, cool,

651
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 4: because they need someone to take care of these kids

652
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 4: for free.

653
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 3: Yeah.

654
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 4: I feel like the mother in law is being kind

655
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 4: of a coward honestly, Like I feel like they're not

656
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 4: going to kick her out as long as as long

657
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:14,480
Speaker 4: as she gives them childcare because that's what they're desperate. Yeah,

658
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 4: and Jia girl says she's desperate for childcare. Yeah, but

659
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:20,480
Speaker 4: there is an update.

660
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 5: There is an update that is pretty wild.

661
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 7: Yeah.

662
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 5: I don't know, like, why are we handing these kids off?

663
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, just parent your kids.

664
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 2: I agree with whatever Sophia said.

665
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 5: Thank you.

666
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 4: I said parent your kids, parry kids, or pay for childcare.

667
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 4: I understand that you guys are like you don't have

668
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:39,720
Speaker 4: a lot of money, which is like a huge problem,

669
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 4: but like, stop making it other people's problems. And there

670
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 4: is an update.

671
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 7: Let's go, Riley, make your dog their own YouTube channel

672
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:51,720
Speaker 7: and teach it tricks to work for its food and board.

673
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:54,440
Speaker 6: She teach the dog how to like press the buttons.

674
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 4: This is what you do? You say, you have a

675
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 4: stream and it's just like a like it's this area,

676
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 4: but it's there's nothing here. And you say, if anyway,

677
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 4: if you donate, we'll bring the dog on. Okay, every

678
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 4: one dollar we bring the dog on for a.

679
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:12,480
Speaker 7: Minute, I will I think I will start a social

680
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 7: media like all right, this guy needs to pay for

681
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 7: it's written board.

682
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 6: We should get like a puppy cam.

683
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:18,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, puppy cam. Okay.

684
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 4: We put like a little GoPro on the dog. Okay,

685
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 4: and it's it's like but no, but so that you

686
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 4: can still see the dog. It's the train guy, you know,

687
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 4: the train guy who like has a gop on his face.

688
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 2: It's like it's like.

689
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:32,240
Speaker 6: Like that, it's like his.

690
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 7: You could probably get a GoPro camera and have it

691
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 7: live feeds, so then if someone donates it shows for

692
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 7: like a split second.

693
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 4: I'm gonna get a goat and and get a and

00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:43,720
Speaker 4: call it a goat pro.

695
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 5: Goats are not that expensive, by the way, and.

696
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 4: They pay for themselves because they clean the backyard.

697
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 6: Look at you, we should do go It's actually surprisingly expensive.

698
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:00,200
Speaker 5: Guess how much it would cost for an hour or

00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:00,840

Speaker 7: run around and you gotta put them back in the

00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 7: trailer and do it. It's just transportations the most. But

708
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 7: you can just go to my house and do goat yoga.

709

Speaker 6: Yeah for sure.

720
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:41,680
Speaker 1: Hey it's Sam. We'll get back to the stories. But

721
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 1: here's three minutes of ads from our sponsors.

722
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 4: Update. Hey, it's been a little while now since I

723
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 4: posted about my brother in law and his girlfriend hijacking

724
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 4: my son's fourth birthday with some insane ideas that I'd

725
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 4: be providing full time, free childcare for their infant twins.

726
00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 4: Anyone following the comments would have seen this screenshots where

727
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 4: Jenna wound up uninvited for Christmas after she repeatedly insulted

728
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 4: my teenage children simply for existing.

729
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 5: Finally some consequences.

730
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:17,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, not because they'd done anything wrong. My husband supported me,

731
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:18,920
Speaker 4: and when I spoke to my mother in law in

732
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:22,040
Speaker 4: the following days, she was understanding and shared that she

733
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:25,920
Speaker 4: would still be attending our family Christmas. Good. My husband

734
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 4: Joe still tried to maintain some semblance of a relationship

735
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:32,600
Speaker 4: with his brother Tom, but he kept his distance where

736
00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:37,360
Speaker 4: Jenna was concerned. Yeah, I mean they're both crazy, dog cute?

737
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:39,120
Speaker 4: Whose talk is that dog?

738
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:39,799
Speaker 5: That going back?

739
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:41,399
Speaker 6: That's on the dog's head?

740
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:43,920
Speaker 4: It's a little beanie.

741
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 6: Oh, it's a little beanie.

742
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:45,880
Speaker 3: That's so cute.

743
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:46,759
Speaker 6: I was like, what is that?

744
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:47,719
Speaker 4: That's so cute?

745
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:48,480
Speaker 5: Sorry?

746
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:51,319
Speaker 6: What's your dog's name?

747
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 5: Gracie Gracy.

748
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 4: It got quiet for a while, then the week leading

749
00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 4: up to Christmas, Jenna started up again. She was messaging

750
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:02,760
Speaker 4: Joe and my two older boys, seventeen and fourteen, saying

751
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:05,319
Speaker 4: she'd gotten them gifts for Christmas and asking if they'd

752
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:08,280
Speaker 4: like to come by and collect them. She also invited

753
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 4: us all to their house for dinner on December twenty second.

754
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:13,759
Speaker 4: I was reluctant to agree, but my husband and mother

755
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 4: in law were hopeful we'd all be able to move

756
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 4: past everything. I spoke to the boys, and my fourteen

757
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 4: year old was okay with going. My seventeen year old

758
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:24,880
Speaker 4: wasn't too keen on it if if I wasn't going

759
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:29,279
Speaker 4: to attend, so I agreed to go, with the understanding

760
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:34,480
Speaker 4: that if he felt uncomfortable at all, we'd leave. When

761
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 4: December twenty second rolled around, we loaded all the kids,

762
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 4: as well as the twins presence, into both cars. Just

763
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:42,399
Speaker 4: as we were about to leave, my seventeen year old

764
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 4: started experiencing a severe panic attack. Oh no, Joe and

765
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:49,400
Speaker 4: I agreed that I would stay home with him, so

766
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:51,759
Speaker 4: we moved the little ones over to his car and

767
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 4: he headed off. Since Tom and Jenna live only fifteen

768
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 4: minutes away, I figured they'd be back in a few hours.

769
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:01,640
Speaker 4: I went back side with my seventeen year old and

770
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:04,319
Speaker 4: we put on his favorite Christmas movie, the one he

771
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 4: used to watch with his mom every year before she passed. Oh.

772
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:10,320
Speaker 4: We were looking forward to a quiet couple of hours together.

773
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:14,560
Speaker 4: Not even halfway into the movie, the front door burst

774
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:17,319
Speaker 4: open and my two year old and four year old

775
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:20,359
Speaker 4: came running in excitedly waving new toys in the air.

776
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 7: Ohkay, okay okay. I thought it was like, yeah, the

777
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:25,160
Speaker 7: twins came in or something.

778
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 4: Looking past them, I saw my husband, who had a

779
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:30,719
Speaker 4: face like thunder, and my fourteen year old, who looked

780
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:35,359
Speaker 4: absolutely heartbroken and defeated. I quickly got the little one

781
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:37,399
Speaker 4: set up to play in their bedroom before heading back

782
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:40,799
Speaker 4: downstairs to find out what had happened. My fourteen year

783
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 4: old handed me two gift backs. One had his name

784
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:47,280
Speaker 4: on it, and the gifts inside had already been opened.

785
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:51,120
Speaker 4: We think seventeen year old is exactly the same, he muttered.

786
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:53,800
Speaker 4: I don't know how to put into words the anger

787
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:56,560
Speaker 4: I felt for a bit of context that I lightly

788
00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:59,200
Speaker 4: touched on last time. Both my seventeen year old and

789
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 4: fourteen year old are nerdiverse. They have difficulties with food

790
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 4: and differing presentations of autism. Neither boy is overly keen

791
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 4: on eating full meals, and they gravitate towards more beige foods.

792
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:15,680
Speaker 4: Over there, binge, this is beige. I'm assuming like playing foods?

793
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:16,520
Speaker 5: Got it?

794
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:20,160
Speaker 6: Yeah? Yeah, we did that yesterday. Where like someone someone

795
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 6: was dating pretty much the color beige, like they're just

796
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:24,360
Speaker 6: a boring guy.

797
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 5: Oh oh got it.

798
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 7: So I'm like, I thought it was Binge foods because

799
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:30,240
Speaker 7: I know someone that we work with that also binges foods,

800
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:30,640
Speaker 7: And I'm.

801
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:31,800
Speaker 6: Like, who binges foods?

802
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:35,719
Speaker 7: Who's the person that has something that they always will

803
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:37,920
Speaker 7: reheat over and over and over again and.

804
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:39,840
Speaker 5: Then eat it later it's done?

805
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:40,279
Speaker 3: Yeah?

806
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 7: Sure, Because I'm like, if that's the case, we could

807
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:47,160
Speaker 7: just have little snacks for him, Like it's like a

808
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:49,399
Speaker 7: little egg hunt and he's like, oh, I found a snack,

809
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 7: and then he eats it and then like a little.

810
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:51,759
Speaker 5: Bit later, it's still there.

811
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 4: It's a snacker.

812
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:54,920
Speaker 5: He's a snacker. He hates a minute. He makes himself

813
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:56,280
Speaker 5: full meals, but he just snacks.

814
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 4: He's a snacker. Yeah, he's not a binger. He's a snacker.

815
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 5: Yeah. Worry for John. Lucky's my great grandpa.

816
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:05,520
Speaker 6: Like John, I'm telling you John's death worry I have for.

817
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:07,920
Speaker 7: My great grandpa. I have the same amount for John.

818
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:13,040
Speaker 7: I don't know why.

819
00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:13,800
Speaker 6: I'm telling did you before we get back to the story, Sorry,

820
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:16,320
Speaker 6: did you see how he did with the bobbing for

821
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 6: apples yesterday?

822
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:22,279
Speaker 5: I'm looking that over right, now right now, far from it.

823
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:26,840
Speaker 4: Dang, maybe do well just because of I have I

824
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 4: have tenacity, but also I don't want to get wet.

825
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:32,960
Speaker 6: You don't really get I don't know for this one

826
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:35,640
Speaker 6: it did, they didn't get really wet, but thanks man.

827
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:38,480
Speaker 4: Over the years, I've found plenty of ways to work

828
00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 4: around this, and I've managed to get different foods into

829
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:44,160
Speaker 4: their diets. But vegetables, that's a hill They're both willing

830
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:47,680
Speaker 4: to fall to pass away on unless I'm super sneaky

831
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 4: with them. Veggies rarely make it past their plates. If

832
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:53,560
Speaker 4: they're incorporated into a meal like mac and cheese with

833
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:56,640
Speaker 4: broccoli and sweet corn, or pasta dishes where everything is combined,

834
00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:58,960
Speaker 4: they'll eat them. But if I were to serve a

835
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:01,920
Speaker 4: roast with vegetables on the side, they leave them untouched.

836
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:04,680
Speaker 4: It's fine. We work around it and they're both super

837
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:09,279
Speaker 4: healthy kids. Now a bit more context in England in

838
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:12,279
Speaker 4: the run up to Christmas? What are you doing? I

839
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:13,640
Speaker 4: always watching you watch it sound.

840
00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:17,480
Speaker 6: I'm telling you the sound. I was taking.

841
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:19,680
Speaker 4: A pause because I want to watch John just.

842
00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:24,000
Speaker 6: Put on the South put on the ound. Squeaky Girl

843
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:27,359
Speaker 6: aka Colleen has donated one hundred dollars. Love you, guys,

844
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:29,239
Speaker 6: you put a smile on my face every stream and

845
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 6: we love you. And time time, John.

846
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:38,759
Speaker 7: Time, John Time, guys, go to the livestroom yesterday and

847
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:43,520
Speaker 7: go to three minutes in forty six, three hours and

848
00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:44,400
Speaker 7: forty six minutes.

849
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:48,959
Speaker 4: I'm just realizing that, like how much like grossness must

850
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:50,840
Speaker 4: be in that water once, like if you do it

851
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:51,520
Speaker 4: at like a party.

852
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:56,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean I was watching it and I was like, no,

853
00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:59,799
Speaker 6: they don't like that, especially John and Dakota. No.

854
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 4: In England, in the run up to Christmas, supermarkets run

855
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:06,640
Speaker 4: promotions where four or five vegetables are sold for fifteen

856
00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:10,120
Speaker 4: pounds each. A packet of potatoes, a bag of carrots,

857
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:12,160
Speaker 4: a bag of parsnips, a bag of sprouts, et cetera.

858
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 4: Sounds great. Can you guess what the gifts Jenna so

859
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:19,359
Speaker 4: lovingly went out of her way to buy my two

860
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:23,399
Speaker 4: older boys. Yep, In my fourteen year old's gift bag

861
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:27,040

863
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:33,719

864
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:35,360

00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:40,720
Speaker 6: It's half of Josephine, I'm sweat to sweet.

866
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:44,200
Speaker 4: I'm not sure if I'm pronouncing. Oh, it's what is

867
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:45,880
Speaker 4: that sweete?

868
00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:49,760
Speaker 7: A radish kind of try sweet Swedish turnip.

869
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:52,520
Speaker 5: Oh, it's a turn up, it's a it's a road

00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:01,279
Speaker 6: Oh, rude biga is a swede. He's really good thing.

873
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:03,400
Speaker 6: I did not know that. I love rudebegga. Do you

875
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:04,840
Speaker 1: Yeah?

876
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:07,480
Speaker 7: And everyone put him in the chat? Do we just

877
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:09,680
Speaker 7: get up from hand on everyone?

878
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:13,000
Speaker 9: Si je.

879
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:16,239
Speaker 4: My seventeen year old's gift bag was still wrap, but

880
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:19,520
Speaker 4: it was pretty obvious that it contained the same Yes,

881
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:23,280
Speaker 4: you read that right. This woman had spent ninety pence

882
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:28,359
Speaker 4: per child on a bag of vegetables. Vegetables they won't eat.

883
00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:32,319
Speaker 4: I was seething, and my younger to you ask. While

884
00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:34,080
Speaker 4: my two year old was gifted a light up Princess

885
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:37,319
Speaker 4: Tiara and a wand and Disney Princess bubble wand and

886
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:40,080
Speaker 4: some fairy wings, my four year old received an army

887
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:42,960
Speaker 4: tank with figurines, a duplo train, and a plush shark

888
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:46,040
Speaker 4: he's obsessed with sharks right now. They both also got

889
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:49,239
Speaker 4: a chocolate selection box each. Joe said that as soon

890
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:52,280
Speaker 4: as my fourteen year old opened his gift, Jenna laughed

891
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:54,480
Speaker 4: and said she was doing him a favor by trying

892
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:58,640
Speaker 4: to expand his limited palate. I'm about to expand the

893
00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:03,320
Speaker 4: amount of hunches that are being introduced to your face.

894
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:07,440
Speaker 7: You might expand your face circumference because remember in Invincible

895
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:11,920
Speaker 7: when when Omniman and the other guy, Oh yeah, and

896
00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:13,000
Speaker 7: they expanded his face.

897
00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:14,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's kind of a spoiler.

898
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:16,239
Speaker 6: But yeah, yeah, wait to spoil it.

899
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:17,880
Speaker 5: You don't even know what I'm talking about.

900
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:19,440
Speaker 6: I watch Invincible.

901
00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:21,160
Speaker 4: Well you've already seen that episode.

902
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:24,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, you were there. Still, you're complaining about something you

903
00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:25,839
Speaker 5: shouldn't even complain about.

904
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:26,880
Speaker 6: I'm complaining for the people.

905
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:30,120
Speaker 4: My fourteen year old excused himself to the shed, and,

906
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:32,920
Speaker 4: like the amazing older sibling he is, my seventeen year

907
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 4: old followed him. Joe told me that fourteen year old

908
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:38,879
Speaker 4: had been silent the entire ride home. After reeling off

909
00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:41,120
Speaker 4: a list of expletives I'm not proud of, I calmed

910
00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:43,600
Speaker 4: myself down and went to talk to the boys. My

911
00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:46,040
Speaker 4: fourteen year old asked me if you always ruined family

912
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:48,160
Speaker 4: meals because he didn't eat vegetable.

913
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:49,480
Speaker 5: Now you just made him better because you didn't eat

914
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:50,440
Speaker 5: the other vegetables.

915
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:53,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would be like, I get more for me.

916
00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:56,319
Speaker 7: I remember when my parents wanted me and my brother

917
00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:58,239
Speaker 7: to eat vegetables, and then we liked them, and then

918
00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:01,399
Speaker 7: they regretted it the second Oh so there's no more

919
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:02,439
Speaker 7: Brussels sprouts left.

920
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:06,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, dude, when I like, I feel like I've always

921
00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:08,360
Speaker 4: mostly liked vegetables, but there are certain things that I

922
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:11,839
Speaker 4: didn't eat. But like, vegebles are so good. Man, When

923
00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:13,360
Speaker 4: you realize when you're a kid and you realize that

924
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:14,800
Speaker 4: vegetables are freaking delicious.

925
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:16,680
Speaker 6: I'm more of a veggiees guy than fruits guy.

926
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:20,080
Speaker 4: Same, I agree. I mean, I love fruits, but like potatoes,

927
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:22,960
Speaker 4: those zog fruits give me a minnick in green beans.

928
00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:27,520
Speaker 4: My gut system is not made to digest all the fruits.

929
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:30,160
Speaker 6: Ye Oh, well, I called it. I was like, get ready, guys,

930
00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:32,840
Speaker 6: because there's a lot of fiber. I love fruits.

931
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:35,520
Speaker 4: I told him that was far from the truth, that

932
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:37,960
Speaker 4: everyone has foods they like and don't like. It reminded

933
00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:40,719
Speaker 4: him that even Dad technically a stepdad, but fourteen year

934
00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:43,319
Speaker 4: old chooses to calm Dad eats lots of foods that

935
00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:45,680
Speaker 4: I don't like. We turned it into a little game

936
00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:48,480
Speaker 4: of listing foods we each disliked but that others enjoyed.

937
00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:51,920
Speaker 4: I reassured him that Jenna was clearly going through something,

938
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:55,720
Speaker 4: but that she had absolutely, absolutely no excuse for treating

939
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:58,759
Speaker 4: him and his brother that way. Both boys were confused,

940
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:01,919
Speaker 4: rightfully so, because Jenna had literally reached out to them

941
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:05,400
Speaker 4: saying she'd gotten them gifts, she had completely set them

942
00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:10,800
Speaker 4: up to be humiliated. I didn't want to comfort Jenna immediately,

943
00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:12,920
Speaker 4: so I left it for a few hours. Oh confront,

944
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:15,080
Speaker 4: I was like, why would you comfort her? I didn't

945
00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:17,400
Speaker 4: want to confront Jenna immediately, so I left it for

946
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:22,000
Speaker 4: a few hours. That's when phone started blowing up. What

947
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:25,880
Speaker 4: happened next can only be described as ironically beautiful karma.

948
00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:28,400
Speaker 4: Earlier in the day, when we loaded the cars to

949
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:31,640
Speaker 4: head to Jenna and Tom's house, one of the twins

950
00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:34,720
Speaker 4: gift bags had been placed in the boot of my car.

951
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:38,040
Speaker 4: In the chaos of switching cars after my seventeen year

952
00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:42,480
Speaker 4: old decided to stay home, It inadvertently got overlooked.

953
00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:44,960
Speaker 5: I see you, Okay, I see you.

954
00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:49,480
Speaker 4: So my next contact from Jena that evening was a

955
00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:53,760
Speaker 4: string of semi semi abusive text messages about how dare

956
00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:56,040
Speaker 4: we only buy for one of the twins and not

957
00:44:56,200 --> 00:45:00,000
Speaker 4: the other? Okay, I see so one of the gifts

958
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:04,920
Speaker 4: bags got left in the car by accident for the twins.

959
00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:09,560
Speaker 4: She has the audacity just like, how dare you didn't

960
00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:15,839
Speaker 4: get my baby baby? Don't even don't even think baby

961
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:18,720
Speaker 4: a gift when I humiliated your two sons.

962
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:19,239
Speaker 5: Yep.

963
00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:21,840
Speaker 7: Also fun fact, I didn't get my little brother's anything

964
00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:25,240
Speaker 7: for Christmas until last Christmas because I knew they would

965
00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:27,480
Speaker 7: not even remember because we're getting gifts from everyone else,

966
00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:29,560
Speaker 7: They're not gonna remember what they what I got them.

967
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:31,040
Speaker 7: And then I got them a big president. I got

968
00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:33,600
Speaker 7: them an Xbox, and my little.

969
00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:36,279
Speaker 4: Brother cried, that's a good gift. They were brother gift.

970
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:37,680
Speaker 5: I saw him, I got it.

971
00:45:37,680 --> 00:45:41,279
Speaker 7: He was like, and he's like, I don't know what

972
00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:42,840
Speaker 7: we're gonna do this year. Like I actually have like

973
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:45,160
Speaker 7: adult money now, and like crap.

974
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:47,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, I start putting adult money and I started getting

975
00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:50,560
Speaker 4: good gifts. Man. It took me to like the first

976
00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:52,120
Speaker 4: really good gifts you took me to London and I

977
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:55,760
Speaker 4: was like, oh wow, yeah, it went from we started

978
00:45:55,760 --> 00:45:58,640
Speaker 4: with a wi one year. I was like, whoa, we

979
00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:01,040
Speaker 4: got me a wight who took you to damn oh

980
00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:05,080
Speaker 4: for my birthday. She went on about how awful it

981
00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:07,560
Speaker 4: must have made them feel to be singled out like that.

982
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:10,080
Speaker 4: It was a genuine oversight, and to be clear, the

983
00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:13,200
Speaker 4: twins are not even six months old. They definitely would

984
00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:17,840
Speaker 4: not have noticed my kids. However, they've tolerated years of

985
00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:20,920
Speaker 4: this BS and Jenna had gone too far. The best

986
00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:23,120
Speaker 4: part she followed it up with a message that I

987
00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:25,759
Speaker 4: had better correct that mistake by the time they came

988
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:29,600
Speaker 4: for dinner Christmas Day, she was not invited for dinner.

989
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:32,279
Speaker 4: She hasn't been since last month, and it was not

990
00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:35,520
Speaker 4: open for change. That evening, once the littles were in

991
00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:37,759
Speaker 4: bed and Joe was playing call of duty with the

992
00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:40,520
Speaker 4: older boys, I set off to Jenna and Tom's house,

993
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:43,840
Speaker 4: gifts in tow. When I knocked on the door, Tom

994
00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:47,239
Speaker 4: answered his face pale. I handed him the missing gift

995
00:46:47,239 --> 00:46:49,239
Speaker 4: bag for the other twin and explained that it had

996
00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:53,160
Speaker 4: been left behind by mistake. He was full of excuses,

997
00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:55,799
Speaker 4: claiming He had no idea what Jenna had done until

998
00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:58,360
Speaker 4: he saw my fourteen year old open the gifts. He

999
00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:00,799
Speaker 4: said they had been arguing about it all evening and

1000
00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:03,759
Speaker 4: that he was at his wits end with her. Oh freak,

1001
00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:07,680
Speaker 4: cib me a river, little little violin for you. I

1002
00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:15,360
Speaker 4: put one hand up and told him, Wait, okay, sorry,

1003
00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:17,600
Speaker 4: what was that from.

1004
00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:18,120
Speaker 6: Wait?

1005
00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:22,600
Speaker 4: They don't love you like I love you. Wait, they

1006
00:47:22,640 --> 00:47:26,920
Speaker 4: don't love you. Then I asked to speak with Jenna.

1007
00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:29,960
Speaker 5: The professions professionals I work with.

1008
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:33,120
Speaker 4: He invited me inside work.

1009
00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:34,920
Speaker 6: You want to have kids work for you.

1010
00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:35,560
Speaker 4: Guys my bice.

1011
00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:39,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, they'd probably they know how they'd be like, they'd

1012
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:39,759
Speaker 5: be locked in.

1013
00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:40,480
Speaker 4: It hurts.

1014
00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:41,480
Speaker 3: What did you do?

1015
00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:43,080
Speaker 4: I don't know. I think I'm flexing too much. Man,

1016
00:47:43,200 --> 00:47:45,360
Speaker 4: I'm covered in bruises actually from climbing.

1017
00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:46,560
Speaker 6: Give me a flex.

1018
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:49,040
Speaker 4: It hurts, It hurts.

1019
00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:51,560
Speaker 6: You shouldn't climb, No, I have to.

1020
00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:56,040
Speaker 4: Jenna saw me and immediately jumped to her feet, making

1021
00:47:56,120 --> 00:47:59,120
Speaker 4: excuses about needing to tend to her babies. I told

1022
00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:02,319
Speaker 4: her that Shirley Talk could handle it, and Tom, catching on,

1023
00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:05,800
Speaker 4: quickly excused himself and went upstairs. I turned to Jenna

1024
00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:08,960
Speaker 4: and asked her what the Hecker problem was with my kids,

1025
00:48:09,560 --> 00:48:11,520
Speaker 4: why she felt the need to single them out and

1026
00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:15,480
Speaker 4: make them feel bad for existing. He rolled her eyes

1027
00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:18,840
Speaker 4: and snapped back, asking why it mattered when it was

1028
00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:22,040
Speaker 4: evident I didn't care about hers. I reminded her that

1029
00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:24,479
Speaker 4: this whole thing started because she assumed I would watch

1030
00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:27,600
Speaker 4: her babies full time, and when I couldn't, she decided

1031
00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:30,520
Speaker 4: to be vindictive. I told her she had taken things

1032
00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:34,280
Speaker 4: too far by pretending to extend in all a branch

1033
00:48:34,320 --> 00:48:38,440
Speaker 4: to my children only to try and humiliate them. She

1034
00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:40,360
Speaker 4: rolled her eyes again and muttered that if it was

1035
00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:42,360
Speaker 4: such a big deal, she'd have Tom pick up a

1036
00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:44,279
Speaker 4: gift card for each of them before they came over

1037
00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:48,560
Speaker 4: on Christmas Day. Y'all aren't coming over on Christmas Day?

1038
00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:51,800
Speaker 7: Girly, Yeah, I think you early.

1039
00:48:51,880 --> 00:48:52,800
Speaker 4: You're not invited.

1040
00:48:53,239 --> 00:48:54,640
Speaker 5: You're done.

1041
00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:57,560
Speaker 4: Then she flopped back onto the sofa like she was

1042
00:48:57,600 --> 00:49:01,560
Speaker 4: the one exasperated with me. That was the moment I needed.

1043
00:49:02,160 --> 00:49:04,480
Speaker 4: I reminded her again that she was not welcome in

1044
00:49:04,520 --> 00:49:07,400
Speaker 4: her home, not on Christmas or any other day, that

1045
00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:10,799
Speaker 4: she had crossed the line by humiliating my children, that

1046
00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:12,920
Speaker 4: it was one thing to be indifferent to them as

1047
00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:14,960
Speaker 4: she had been before, but to go out of her

1048
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:19,000
Speaker 4: way to make them feel small was despicable. Then I

1049
00:49:19,040 --> 00:49:21,120
Speaker 4: tipped out the other gift bag I had been holding,

1050
00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:23,440
Speaker 4: the one filled with all the potatoes and vegetables she

1051
00:49:23,480 --> 00:49:26,759
Speaker 4: had ever so kindly gifted my sons, and dumped it

1052
00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:30,000
Speaker 4: into her lap. I remarked that since she was clearly

1053
00:49:30,040 --> 00:49:32,240
Speaker 4: planning to show up at her house for Christmas dinner,

1054
00:49:32,520 --> 00:49:35,600
Speaker 4: she might need these to these back to prepare a

1055
00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:40,879
Speaker 4: meal for herself. I love hope. He went from like

1056
00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:43,320
Speaker 4: I am the most helpful person to like, don't freaking

1057
00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:43,920
Speaker 4: mess with me.

1058
00:49:44,200 --> 00:49:46,200
Speaker 7: Yeah, you got to. You gotta put your mama bear

1059
00:49:46,280 --> 00:49:49,759
Speaker 7: face on. I was surprised she didn't like, here's the

1060
00:49:49,800 --> 00:49:52,279
Speaker 7: twins thing, take that out, put something else in it,

1061
00:49:52,320 --> 00:49:54,200
Speaker 7: and then put it back in. Yeah, like put a

1062
00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:56,799
Speaker 7: steak in it and be like oh yeah, you're well, no,

1063
00:49:56,880 --> 00:49:58,640
Speaker 7: that'd be evil towards a twin, because like, I can't

1064
00:49:58,640 --> 00:49:59,880
Speaker 7: eat it in a choke and die.

1065
00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:02,920
Speaker 4: Oh well, Opie wasn't there when they opened it.

1066
00:50:03,719 --> 00:50:06,120
Speaker 5: I know, but they have a twin gift basket.

1067
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:11,640
Speaker 4: Oh to the Jenna's okay, gotcha. Yeah, But also like

1068
00:50:11,719 --> 00:50:14,320
Speaker 4: the kids wouldn't the twins wouldn't. Well, I guess they

1069
00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:15,280
Speaker 4: would have noticed.

1070
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:20,279
Speaker 7: The twins are opening them up. They're like four ninety four.

1071
00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:21,560
Speaker 7: They're like, they're like five months.

1072
00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:25,319
Speaker 5: They can't even hold their head up. They're like, that's

1073
00:50:25,320 --> 00:50:26,280
Speaker 5: what they're doing right now.

1074
00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:29,400
Speaker 4: And then I left. As I pulled out of the driveway,

1075
00:50:29,560 --> 00:50:31,480
Speaker 4: she followed me to the front door and threw a

1076
00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:34,440
Speaker 4: carrot at my windscreen. Yes, this woman was in the

1077
00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:38,120
Speaker 4: street throwing carrots at my car. As I rounded the corner,

1078
00:50:38,200 --> 00:50:40,799
Speaker 4: I caught a glimpse of Tom appearing and ushering her

1079
00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:43,600
Speaker 4: back inside. By the time I got home, Tom had

1080
00:50:43,640 --> 00:50:46,640
Speaker 4: already called my husband to explain what had happened. I

1081
00:50:46,719 --> 00:50:48,840
Speaker 4: hadn't told Joe what I planned to do, only that

1082
00:50:48,920 --> 00:50:51,280
Speaker 4: I needed to pop out for a bit, not because

1083
00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:53,399
Speaker 4: I was trying to be deceitful, but because I knew

1084
00:50:53,400 --> 00:50:55,640
Speaker 4: he would try to talk me down and I had

1085
00:50:55,640 --> 00:50:59,160
Speaker 4: had enough. Thankfully, he wasn't mad at me. In fact,

1086
00:50:59,239 --> 00:51:01,479
Speaker 4: he found it mild amusing when I told him about

1087
00:51:01,520 --> 00:51:04,160
Speaker 4: Jenna chasing me outside and throwing carrots at my car.

1088
00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:06,880
Speaker 4: I checked the car this morning, just in case, and

1089
00:51:06,920 --> 00:51:11,120
Speaker 4: it's fine, no cracks. Then my mother in law called.

1090
00:51:12,120 --> 00:51:15,279
Speaker 4: She had already heard about what happened. She wasn't upset, well,

1091
00:51:15,320 --> 00:51:17,640
Speaker 4: not with me anyway. When she found out about Jenna's

1092
00:51:17,680 --> 00:51:20,840
Speaker 4: stunt with my boys, she was furious with both Jenna

1093
00:51:20,960 --> 00:51:25,359
Speaker 4: and Tom. Tomorrow is Christmas, and suffice it to say,

1094
00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:28,880
Speaker 4: we have no plans for Tom, Jenna, or unfortunately the

1095
00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:31,960
Speaker 4: twins to join us. I honestly can't believe what this

1096
00:51:32,040 --> 00:51:35,080
Speaker 4: whole saga has turned into, and I feel devastated for

1097
00:51:35,160 --> 00:51:38,719
Speaker 4: my older two boys who have clearly been affected. Last night,

1098
00:51:38,800 --> 00:51:41,440
Speaker 4: while I was preparing dinner, my seventeen year old came

1099
00:51:41,520 --> 00:51:43,239
Speaker 4: up to me and said he'd be willing to try

1100
00:51:43,320 --> 00:51:47,400
Speaker 4: cauliflower if it would make me happy. I told him

1101
00:51:47,440 --> 00:51:49,239
Speaker 4: that he could eat whatever he wanted, and that there

1102
00:51:49,280 --> 00:51:51,160
Speaker 4: would never be a time when eat what he does

1103
00:51:51,280 --> 00:51:54,319
Speaker 4: or doesn't eat would affect my happiness. I only care

1104
00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:57,200
Speaker 4: that he's happy. Aw For the record, he didn't eat

1105
00:51:57,200 --> 00:52:01,120
Speaker 4: the cauliflower. Meanwhile, my four thirteen year old has been

1106
00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:04,440
Speaker 4: very withdrawn. Joe took the older boys out to place

1107
00:52:04,560 --> 00:52:08,680
Speaker 4: snooker yesterday. What that is snooker? BRIT's in the chat?

1157
00:54:07,600 --> 00:54:09,200

1158
00:54:09,280 --> 00:54:12,560

1162
00:54:20,920 --> 00:54:23,719
Speaker 4: the a hole any longer. You're not girl. I feel

1163
00:54:23,760 --> 00:54:26,560
Speaker 4: like my actions were entirely justified given the level of

1164
00:54:26,600 --> 00:54:29,959
Speaker 4: indifference in mockery Jenna showed to my children. But feel

1165
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:31,439
Speaker 4: free Redda to tell me if I'm wrong.

1166
00:54:31,640 --> 00:54:34,960

00:54:34,520 --> 00:54:39,280

1168
00:54:40,719 --> 00:54:41,920
Speaker 4: But that is the end of that story.

1169
00:54:42,040 --> 00:54:44,000
Speaker 5: I'm Christmas and the end of this episode.

1170
00:54:44,480 --> 00:54:49,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I have a final thought. Jenna sucks. Yeah,

1171
00:54:50,080 --> 00:54:55,040
Speaker 4: you're taking good care of your kids. Your excellent parenting skills,

1172
00:54:55,239 --> 00:54:59,439
Speaker 4: uh are impressive, honestly, And I really hope that Tom

1173
00:54:59,520 --> 00:55:04,879
Speaker 4: leaves Jenna. They have two kids. Maybe I don't know,

1174
00:55:05,080 --> 00:55:07,600
Speaker 4: Like I don't know if I necessarily want them to divorce.

1175
00:55:07,239 --> 00:55:09,840
Speaker 5: Because they have kids. Spicy Cat whipped.

1176
00:55:10,160 --> 00:55:11,640
Speaker 4: I think Tom is cowed?

1177
00:55:13,120 --> 00:55:16,320
Speaker 5: Cow does that we call it? What's the word for it?

1178
00:55:16,440 --> 00:55:20,600
Speaker 4: Like, what's the word like when like about a man.

1179
00:55:21,640 --> 00:55:23,880
Speaker 4: It's like it's like being whipped, but like it's a

1180
00:55:23,880 --> 00:55:27,880
Speaker 4: different word. It's like cowd or something. I'm forgetting the

1181
00:55:27,920 --> 00:55:28,520
Speaker 4: word right now.

1182
00:55:30,160 --> 00:55:33,880
Speaker 6: To see you is it a no.

1183
00:55:33,800 --> 00:55:37,480
Speaker 4: It's like cowed. But I think there's a there's an

1184
00:55:37,520 --> 00:55:40,160
Speaker 4: actual term for it, but I'm forgetting it. But that's him.

1185
00:55:40,280 --> 00:55:44,839
Speaker 4: Oh my god, but that's him and he it's yeah,

1186
00:55:44,840 --> 00:55:46,239
Speaker 4: I'm not thinking. I'm thinking of a different one.

1187
00:55:46,920 --> 00:55:48,000
Speaker 5: I forgot it.

1188
00:55:48,600 --> 00:55:49,960
Speaker 4: I don't know if he's gonna I don't know if

1189
00:55:49,960 --> 00:55:53,400
Speaker 4: they're gonna get divorced. He seems pretty like afraid of Jenna.

1190
00:55:55,320 --> 00:55:56,880
Speaker 4: I think that, like I would hope they go to

1191
00:55:56,960 --> 00:56:01,360
Speaker 4: like therapy or something because they have cuckolded. That's also

1192
00:56:01,400 --> 00:56:04,720
Speaker 4: not the word I was that is. That is another

1193
00:56:04,719 --> 00:56:09,560
Speaker 4: word for it. But that is the end of that story.

1206
00:56:46,200 --> 00:56:48,239

00:56:48,280 --> 00:56:51,719
Speaker 1: like BDSM or something. Punish me please daddy, which.

1210
00:56:57,719 --> 00:57:01,759
Speaker 9: retention is down four percent month over. My company takes

1211
00:57:01,760 --> 00:57:05,000
Speaker 9: safety very seriously, to the point where we have safety

1212
00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:07,960
Speaker 9: briefings on the regular to keep us updated. Yesterday we

1213
00:57:08,040 --> 00:57:10,800
Speaker 9: had a talk on compact or safety, which is like

1214
00:57:10,880 --> 00:57:14,120
Speaker 9: giant machine to just like compact stuff. Yeah, one of

1215
00:57:14,120 --> 00:57:17,680
Speaker 9: our big rules is to never ever, under any circumstances,

1216
00:57:17,800 --> 00:57:21,880
Speaker 9: climb into the compactor unless it's unhooked from power sources.

1217
00:57:22,040 --> 00:57:24,080
Speaker 3: O dude, why would you ever climb into.

1218
00:57:24,800 --> 00:57:27,480
Speaker 9: I feel like that's just a recipe for disease.

1219
00:57:27,520 --> 00:57:33,680
Speaker 1: That's like a final destination. Getting crushed by a compactor

1220
00:57:33,800 --> 00:57:35,920
Speaker 1: sounds like gotta be one of the worst ways to go.

1221
00:57:36,040 --> 00:57:38,160
Speaker 9: Because also you have like a few seconds where you

1222
00:57:38,280 --> 00:57:42,640
Speaker 9: know what's happening instantly. Sounds like common sense, right, Yes, well,

1223
00:57:42,880 --> 00:57:46,200
Speaker 9: dear reader, as you're about to learn, apparently common sense

1224
00:57:46,320 --> 00:57:47,160
Speaker 9: ain't that common.

1225
00:57:47,280 --> 00:57:49,400
Speaker 1: It ain't that common anymore, at least in the US.

1226
00:57:49,560 --> 00:57:51,200
Speaker 1: Everyone out here being crazy.

1227
00:57:51,320 --> 00:57:53,840
Speaker 9: After getting our briefing, we get our assignments and are

1228
00:57:53,880 --> 00:57:55,760
Speaker 9: scent on our merry way. I go to my area,

1229
00:57:55,920 --> 00:57:58,000
Speaker 9: lean it and pull the trash. As I'm walking to

1230
00:57:58,080 --> 00:58:00,320
Speaker 9: the compactor, what I say sticking out of it is

1231
00:58:00,360 --> 00:58:03,200
Speaker 9: two trousered legs that must be a.

1232
00:58:03,320 --> 00:58:06,840
Speaker 3: Human hopefully hopefully living, hopefully.

1233
00:58:08,040 --> 00:58:11,880
Speaker 9: After the shock lasting in nanosecond war off, I started yelling.

1234
00:58:11,640 --> 00:58:13,320
Speaker 2: What are you doing, you idiot?

1235
00:58:13,440 --> 00:58:15,240
Speaker 4: Don't go crawling around in there.

1236
00:58:15,640 --> 00:58:18,520
Speaker 2: I know I shouldn't have yelled, but I was so mad.

1237
00:58:18,680 --> 00:58:21,920
Speaker 3: Dude. Well, I mean, definitely yell. Get the fuck out

00:58:21,960 --> 00:58:22,960
Speaker 3: of there, man quickly.

1239
00:58:23,040 --> 00:58:24,960
Speaker 2: How do you stop someone from like doing something so

00:58:25,080 --> 00:58:25,720
Speaker 2: dangerous like that?

1241
00:58:25,760 --> 00:58:25,840
Speaker 8: Like?

00:58:28,680 --> 00:58:30,720
Speaker 9: know what, like you have to yell at the banking

Speaker 2: Now you go yelling at me, where's your manager?

00:58:40,960 --> 00:58:42,840
Speaker 2: Now I'm really destroying.

1249
00:58:42,480 --> 00:58:44,520
Speaker 6: My being an idiot.

1250
00:58:44,680 --> 00:58:45,800
Speaker 3: God damn oh man.

1251
00:58:45,920 --> 00:58:47,320
Speaker 9: Also, I don't know why we always go to the

1252
00:58:47,320 --> 00:58:50,880
Speaker 9: Southern accident just so funny. At this point, melicious compliance

1253
00:58:50,920 --> 00:58:54,000
Speaker 9: mode has been activated. I put on my sweetest smile

1254
00:58:54,040 --> 00:58:54,880
Speaker 9: and say, of.

1255
00:58:54,920 --> 00:58:56,880
Speaker 2: Course, I'm so sorry.

1256
00:58:57,120 --> 00:59:00,080
Speaker 9: Let me get my manager here. Mister idiot smirks and

1257
00:59:00,200 --> 00:59:02,600
Speaker 9: is like the girl. I call my manager over and

1258
00:59:02,680 --> 00:59:05,240
Speaker 9: I ask her check it out. Meanwhile, mister idiot is

1259
00:59:05,320 --> 00:59:07,440
Speaker 9: smiling like the cat who got the cream.

1260
00:59:07,520 --> 00:59:08,360
Speaker 2: Maybe they are Southern.

1261
00:59:08,480 --> 00:59:10,720
Speaker 3: Never heard that phrase, Yeah, it sounds like a Southern phrase.

1262
00:59:10,800 --> 00:59:11,400
Speaker 2: Neither have I.

1263
00:59:11,400 --> 00:59:15,120
Speaker 9: I'm fighting to keep from smiling because my manager, Miss Heroin,

1264
00:59:15,280 --> 00:59:18,640
Speaker 9: as in the hero take safety as seriously as I do.

1265
00:59:18,760 --> 00:59:22,520
Speaker 9: I've seen her reduce full men to tears over safety issues.

1266
00:59:22,560 --> 00:59:25,160
Speaker 9: Miss Heroin shows up and mister idiot says, you should

1267
00:59:25,200 --> 00:59:27,800
Speaker 9: treat your workers, not to yale yay.

1268
00:59:29,680 --> 00:59:32,800
Speaker 2: Miss Heroin turns to me and says, and why well

1269
00:59:32,840 --> 00:59:33,800
Speaker 2: you yelling at him?

1270
00:59:33,920 --> 00:59:37,080
Speaker 9: Because I caught him climbing into the compactor and I

1271
00:59:37,120 --> 00:59:40,760
Speaker 9: was scared he'd be done crushed up. Mister idiot goes

1272
00:59:40,760 --> 00:59:43,720
Speaker 9: from looking like a contented cat to looking like a

1273
00:59:43,880 --> 00:59:46,160
Speaker 9: scolded putred dog.

1274
00:59:46,640 --> 00:59:47,480
Speaker 3: You smelly.

1275
00:59:47,800 --> 00:59:52,200
Speaker 9: After a sweet verbal thrashing, Miss Heroin calls mister idiot's manager.

1276
00:59:52,240 --> 00:59:56,400
Speaker 9: Within thirty minutes, mister idiot was clearing out his desk,

1277
00:59:56,640 --> 00:59:59,040
Speaker 9: still smelling of garbage.

1278
00:59:59,200 --> 01:00:00,840
Speaker 3: Oh shit, you got fired.

1279
01:00:01,080 --> 01:00:03,800
Speaker 2: Got cross.

1280
01:00:05,560 --> 01:00:08,360
Speaker 1: The whole real full crush in the compactor, That's what

1281
01:00:08,400 --> 01:00:08,920
Speaker 1: I've learned.

1282
01:00:08,920 --> 01:00:11,440
Speaker 9: Has anyone there's got to be someone that watches that's

1283
01:00:11,480 --> 01:00:14,560
Speaker 9: worked on the compactor somebody, Yeah right, gotta be tell

Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, and please hopefully you haven't lost any limbs.

1286
01:00:18,960 --> 01:00:24,000
Speaker 9: And no trouser legs hanging out at the bottom real quick, though,

1287
01:00:24,200 --> 01:00:25,720
Speaker 9: do you think mister idiot was the whole?

1288
01:00:25,800 --> 01:00:27,720
Speaker 3: I mean, mister idiot for sure is the a hole.

1289
01:00:28,200 --> 01:00:31,760
Speaker 1: What I would love for like everyone to answer, is like,

1290
01:00:32,080 --> 01:00:36,480
Speaker 1: is actually is actually? Because like, yes, that guy wasn't

1291
01:00:36,520 --> 01:00:38,600
Speaker 1: supposed to be in there, and you know how that

1292
01:00:38,600 --> 01:00:40,920
Speaker 1: shit eating grin was kind of like a dick, But oh,

1293
01:00:41,080 --> 01:00:43,840
Speaker 1: he basically took the actions that got him fired.

1294
01:00:43,880 --> 01:00:45,760
Speaker 3: So does he does he deserve that? Maybe he does.

1295
01:00:46,880 --> 01:00:48,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a pretty hard hammer to drop.

1296
01:00:48,400 --> 01:00:53,160
Speaker 9: So my girlfriend thinks I hooked up with an underraged

1297
01:00:53,200 --> 01:00:53,680
Speaker 9: house teaper.

1298
01:00:53,960 --> 01:00:56,360
Speaker 3: Okayop, this is okay Op.

1299
01:00:56,560 --> 01:00:58,640
Speaker 1: I'm Samuel Donner and I'm John Fry and we tell

1300
01:00:58,680 --> 01:01:00,000
Speaker 1: the funniest stories on the end.

1301
01:01:00,360 --> 01:01:03,160
Speaker 9: Sam, have you ever had a mishap where nothing actually

1302
01:01:03,240 --> 01:01:06,280
Speaker 9: went wrong, but there might have been an interaction where

1303
01:01:06,280 --> 01:01:09,080
Speaker 9: a girl, a girlfriend or lady friend might have perceived

1304
01:01:09,080 --> 01:01:11,920
Speaker 9: that as a nefarious.

1305
01:01:11,320 --> 01:01:17,120
Speaker 1: Maybe not nefarious, but my girlfriend always, my girlfriend gets

1306
01:01:17,120 --> 01:01:19,120
Speaker 1: mad at me a lot for thing dumb things I say.

1307
01:01:20,080 --> 01:01:24,040
Speaker 1: I tend to be blunt in my conversations. Like for example,

1308
01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:27,400
Speaker 1: when I was in Hawaii, she was like, I was

1309
01:01:27,400 --> 01:01:30,480
Speaker 1: with like Christian and some of my other friends and

1310
01:01:30,520 --> 01:01:32,760
Speaker 1: we were just like chilling, and like Arianna called and

1311
01:01:32,800 --> 01:01:36,080
Speaker 1: she's like, how's Hawai? And I'm like, and my girlfriend's

1312
01:01:36,120 --> 01:01:37,960
Speaker 1: not there. She wanted to go, but she couldn't make it.

1313
01:01:38,160 --> 01:01:41,240
Speaker 1: And I'm like, it's literally perfect. I can't think of

1314
01:01:41,360 --> 01:01:45,320
Speaker 1: anything else that would make this trip better. I loved

1315
01:01:45,360 --> 01:01:49,000
Speaker 1: it so much. And Christian elbows me and he's like, bruh,

1316
01:01:49,160 --> 01:01:51,600
Speaker 1: you're talking to your girlfriend, I mean. And I'm like,

1317
01:01:51,960 --> 01:01:53,680
Speaker 1: I mean, it would, it would make a better vi

1318
01:01:53,720 --> 01:01:57,240
Speaker 1: you were here. So I put my foot in my

1319
01:01:57,280 --> 01:01:57,800
Speaker 1: mouth a lot.

1320
01:01:57,960 --> 01:01:58,560
Speaker 4: That one.

1321
01:01:58,800 --> 01:02:00,640
Speaker 9: I would let you slide, just cause you're just like

1322
01:02:01,520 --> 01:02:04,680
Speaker 9: embracing the moment, the loveliness around you, you know what I mean?

1323
01:02:04,720 --> 01:02:06,880
Speaker 2: Like that one, I've got to get a pass, you know.

1324
01:02:07,840 --> 01:02:08,600
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness.

1325
01:02:08,680 --> 01:02:14,080
Speaker 9: Well, today we have a situation where something happens and

1326
01:02:14,680 --> 01:02:18,240
Speaker 9: the guy is in a not great situation that is

1327
01:02:18,280 --> 01:02:21,960
Speaker 9: not actually his false and'sing. My girlfriend thinks I hooked

1328
01:02:22,000 --> 01:02:23,560
Speaker 9: up with an underaged housekeeper.

1329
01:02:23,840 --> 01:02:26,439
Speaker 3: Oh God, not a good look at all.

1330
01:02:26,680 --> 01:02:27,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, not great.

1331
01:02:28,040 --> 01:02:31,480
Speaker 9: So due to personal and travel reasons, me, twenty six male,

1332
01:02:31,520 --> 01:02:34,480
Speaker 9: and my girlfriend twenty four female live in a military hotel.

1333
01:02:34,800 --> 01:02:37,320
Speaker 9: We've stayed in many hotels over the span of five years,

1334
01:02:37,440 --> 01:02:39,920
Speaker 9: but lived at this one for almost a full year now.

1335
01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:41,959
Speaker 9: And at this one, a housekeeper knocks on our door.

1336
01:02:42,360 --> 01:02:44,840
Speaker 9: They knock on every door to ask if we need service.

1337
01:02:45,080 --> 01:02:47,000
Speaker 9: I don't feel harassed or bothered by them, so I

1338
01:02:47,000 --> 01:02:49,120
Speaker 9: always let them inside, unless it's the weekend and I'm

1339
01:02:49,120 --> 01:02:52,160
Speaker 9: sleeping in. My girlfriend usually declines if she answers the door,

1340
01:02:52,280 --> 01:02:54,640
Speaker 9: which again I don't mind because I'll just ask next

1341
01:02:54,640 --> 01:02:57,480
Speaker 9: time for towels, trash, et cetera. Now, recently, these past

1342
01:02:57,480 --> 01:02:59,920
Speaker 9: three months, we have a new housekeeper. She's a high

1343
01:03:00,000 --> 01:03:02,720
Speaker 9: cool female around seventeen, and is very kind and very funny.

1344
01:03:02,960 --> 01:03:05,080
Speaker 9: I am in no way interested in her. She's a child,

1345
01:03:05,200 --> 01:03:07,520
Speaker 9: she's the same age as my sister. I only speak

1346
01:03:07,560 --> 01:03:10,520
Speaker 9: to her about the room, linen changed, cleaning times, et cetera.

1347
01:03:10,640 --> 01:03:14,400
Speaker 9: All right, all professional, all professional, over the last few weeks,

1348
01:03:14,440 --> 01:03:17,040
Speaker 9: I've been chatting with the girl about games, TV shows,

1349
01:03:17,120 --> 01:03:19,520
Speaker 9: small talk or whatever, just while she's cleaning, so it's

1350
01:03:19,560 --> 01:03:20,080
Speaker 9: not awkward.

1351
01:03:20,560 --> 01:03:21,800
Speaker 2: I started to look forward.

1352
01:03:21,600 --> 01:03:24,680
Speaker 9: To it since we were both keeping up on Euphoria,

1353
01:03:25,040 --> 01:03:27,560
Speaker 9: a TV series, and since my girlfriend doesn't watch it,

1354
01:03:27,720 --> 01:03:29,400
Speaker 9: that was nice to get all hyped up with someone

1355
01:03:29,440 --> 01:03:29,760
Speaker 9: about it.

1356
01:03:29,760 --> 01:03:32,880
Speaker 1: And also is a TV series about underage people. Yeah,

1357
01:03:33,400 --> 01:03:36,680
Speaker 1: hook you up there and doing drugs. Dirony is not

1358
01:03:36,760 --> 01:03:37,320
Speaker 1: lost us.

1359
01:03:38,080 --> 01:03:40,320
Speaker 9: I ran into our housekeeper coming out of the elevator

1360
01:03:40,360 --> 01:03:42,880
Speaker 9: and into the lobby on Saturday, and she asked how

1361
01:03:42,920 --> 01:03:44,760
Speaker 9: excited I was for the new episode. I lost my

1362
01:03:44,920 --> 01:03:46,720
Speaker 9: entire train of thought and we just talked for about

1363
01:03:46,760 --> 01:03:48,840
Speaker 9: five minutes about what we think is going to happen

1364
01:03:48,960 --> 01:03:49,720
Speaker 9: and how I was so.

1365
01:03:49,720 --> 01:03:50,760
Speaker 2: Ready for the next episode.

1366
01:03:50,840 --> 01:03:52,760
Speaker 9: I left after that, and she wished me a good day,

1367
01:03:52,800 --> 01:03:55,480
Speaker 9: and my girlfriend was standing by the main doors looking.

1368
01:03:56,600 --> 01:03:58,880
Speaker 9: I thought she was mad I made her wait so long,

1369
01:03:59,000 --> 01:04:02,040
Speaker 9: but she ended up saying things like replacing me already,

1370
01:04:02,280 --> 01:04:04,880
Speaker 9: and oh no, why don't you hold the door open

1371
01:04:04,920 --> 01:04:07,240
Speaker 9: for me? You'd probably do it for your new girlfriend.

1372
01:04:07,440 --> 01:04:08,200
Speaker 2: Oh god.

1373
01:04:08,400 --> 01:04:11,440
Speaker 9: I laughed and dismissed it, because the girl's a child.

1374
01:04:11,640 --> 01:04:15,400
Speaker 9: She's seventeen, and I have no sexual or romantic interest

1375
01:04:15,480 --> 01:04:17,840
Speaker 9: in her. Yeah, even if she was a minor. I'm

1376
01:04:17,880 --> 01:04:20,040
Speaker 9: only interested in my girlfriend that way. This girl is

1377
01:04:20,080 --> 01:04:22,160
Speaker 9: just someone who happens to share a common interest as

1378
01:04:22,240 --> 01:04:23,400
Speaker 9: me that I see occasionally.

1379
01:04:23,480 --> 01:04:25,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can talk about TV shows like this. This

1380
01:04:25,800 --> 01:04:28,280
Speaker 1: girlfriend should not be jealous. The next day, I wash

1381
01:04:28,400 --> 01:04:30,400
Speaker 1: up around two for a date with my girlfriend. She's

1382
01:04:30,400 --> 01:04:32,400
Speaker 1: out getting her nails done and I'm doing my thing

1383
01:04:32,800 --> 01:04:35,680
Speaker 1: fresh out of the shower, and I didn't hear, but

1384
01:04:35,840 --> 01:04:38,520
Speaker 1: there was a knock since I was showering at that moment,

1385
01:04:38,840 --> 01:04:42,200
Speaker 1: and our housekeeper must have come in just as I

1386
01:04:42,280 --> 01:04:45,800
Speaker 1: was turning the shower off. She's holding a bunch of linen,

1387
01:04:45,840 --> 01:04:48,360
Speaker 1: probably to change the sheets since she thinks that.

1388
01:04:48,320 --> 01:04:49,160
Speaker 2: The room is empty.

1389
01:04:49,200 --> 01:04:51,520
Speaker 9: I walk out of the bathroom, she walks into the

1390
01:04:51,520 --> 01:04:56,400
Speaker 9: main room and we both immediately stop. She immediately apologizes

1391
01:04:56,480 --> 01:04:59,400
Speaker 9: and leaves, but my girlfriend is coming into the room

1392
01:05:00,040 --> 01:05:03,880
Speaker 9: and sees me with a towel around my waist. Oh no,

1393
01:05:04,360 --> 01:05:06,680
Speaker 9: I know. The whole thing is a terrible series of

1394
01:05:06,720 --> 01:05:10,360
Speaker 9: events to see ah, and my girlfriend is convinced something's

1395
01:05:10,400 --> 01:05:12,680
Speaker 9: happening between us. I'm not mad about her lack of

1396
01:05:12,680 --> 01:05:15,560
Speaker 9: trust when it seems that she has the clear evidence

1397
01:05:15,960 --> 01:05:18,600
Speaker 9: that is, assuming I'm cheated based off what she saw.

1398
01:05:19,200 --> 01:05:22,200
Speaker 9: I'm just upset that she thinks I would touch a kid.

1399
01:05:22,320 --> 01:05:25,040
Speaker 9: This girl is seventeen, and I'm not into that. We

1400
01:05:25,240 --> 01:05:28,000
Speaker 9: argued for hours, and I keep repeating this point as

1401
01:05:28,000 --> 01:05:30,880
Speaker 9: my main argument. I would never cheat, and you know that.

1402
01:05:31,360 --> 01:05:34,800
Speaker 9: But Babe, this girl is seventeen. She's a kid. Do

1403
01:05:34,840 --> 01:05:37,840
Speaker 9: you hear yourself? She kept repeating that the girl is

1404
01:05:37,920 --> 01:05:40,560
Speaker 9: practically an adult. I felt so sick. She's the same

1405
01:05:40,600 --> 01:05:42,440
Speaker 9: age as my younger sister, and I hope no one

1406
01:05:42,440 --> 01:05:44,240
Speaker 9: says that about her when she's still in high school.

1407
01:05:44,280 --> 01:05:46,480
Speaker 9: I asked my girlfriends for space, but she thinks this

1408
01:05:46,600 --> 01:05:48,240
Speaker 9: further proves her theory of cheating.

1409
01:05:48,480 --> 01:05:50,720
Speaker 3: Oh no, oh no.

1410
01:05:51,000 --> 01:05:53,520
Speaker 2: Then my girl win. You can't win.

1411
01:05:53,640 --> 01:05:56,480
Speaker 9: Then my girlfriend contacted the girl superior and the girls

1412
01:05:56,520 --> 01:05:57,720
Speaker 9: shared the same story as me.

1413
01:05:57,960 --> 01:06:00,840
Speaker 3: Is the girlfriend trying to get this? How keeper fired?

1414
01:06:00,960 --> 01:06:01,480
Speaker 2: It seems so?

1415
01:06:01,600 --> 01:06:04,040
Speaker 9: Oh no, I'm not sure what happened in that case,

1416
01:06:04,240 --> 01:06:07,360
Speaker 9: but I'm not sure how to proceed from here. Oh

1417
01:06:07,400 --> 01:06:09,160
Speaker 9: I know how this seems to my girlfriend, and I

1418
01:06:09,200 --> 01:06:11,320
Speaker 9: can understand why she took it that way. But I

1419
01:06:11,400 --> 01:06:13,200
Speaker 9: don't want to be with someone who can view me.

1420
01:06:13,160 --> 01:06:13,880
Speaker 2: As a pedophile.

1421
01:06:14,000 --> 01:06:16,080
Speaker 9: I don't care if the girl is seventeen or freshly

1422
01:06:16,120 --> 01:06:18,880
Speaker 9: seventeen or whatever. I hate that my girlfriend thinks I

1423
01:06:18,880 --> 01:06:22,200
Speaker 9: would ever do anything like that. And there is an update.

1424
01:06:22,680 --> 01:06:23,600
Speaker 3: There's an update.

1425
01:06:23,840 --> 01:06:26,919
Speaker 1: I hope it gets resolved and it's all peaceful and nice.

1426
01:06:27,120 --> 01:06:29,960
Speaker 9: Yes, so me and my girlfriend talked things out and

1427
01:06:30,160 --> 01:06:32,840
Speaker 9: brought it to an end. Housekeeper was present with a

1428
01:06:32,880 --> 01:06:36,880
Speaker 9: supervisor three hours ago when we addressed the whole situation.

1429
01:06:37,440 --> 01:06:40,240
Speaker 9: In the end, it was nothing more than my girlfriend

1430
01:06:41,240 --> 01:06:44,920
Speaker 9: than my girlfriend projecting because she herself had slept with

1431
01:06:44,960 --> 01:06:47,960
Speaker 9: the hotel groundsman and thought that she was seeing a

1432
01:06:48,040 --> 01:06:50,920
Speaker 9: sign of unfaithfulness from me when it was nothing of

1433
01:06:50,920 --> 01:06:55,080
Speaker 9: the sort. Wait what yep, oh girlfriend, she was the

1434
01:06:55,120 --> 01:06:55,760
Speaker 9: guilty one.

1435
01:06:55,840 --> 01:06:57,240
Speaker 2: No, I'm moving on.

1436
01:06:57,320 --> 01:06:59,520
Speaker 9: Tellson around two weeks once I sorted the paperwork out

1437
01:06:59,800 --> 01:07:02,520
Speaker 9: with my chief and I know the situation is crappy,

1438
01:07:02,560 --> 01:07:05,200
Speaker 9: but thank you to everyone who gave some good advice.

1439
01:07:05,400 --> 01:07:08,320
Speaker 3: Oh no, Op got wrecked.

1440
01:07:08,360 --> 01:07:11,919
Speaker 9: The one thing I will say is like Op, He's like, oh,

1441
01:07:11,960 --> 01:07:15,000
Speaker 9: it's it's uh, you know, how could you think I

1442
01:07:15,000 --> 01:07:19,440
Speaker 9: could touch someone like those situations happened, so like you

1443
01:07:19,480 --> 01:07:19,880
Speaker 9: know what I.

1444
01:07:19,800 --> 01:07:20,960
Speaker 3: Mean, Like, yeah, I don't know.

1445
01:07:21,000 --> 01:07:24,400
Speaker 9: I don't blame I know the girlfriend was projecting and everything,

1446
01:07:24,440 --> 01:07:27,280
Speaker 9: but like you know, those those are our precarious situations.

1447
01:07:27,280 --> 01:07:29,640
Speaker 1: But in the end of the day, the girlfriend cheated,

1448
01:07:29,720 --> 01:07:33,560
Speaker 1: so she was, yeah, opjecting one. But damn that that
