Speaker 3: having a very fun weekend the straightest I know. But
Speaker 3: that's because I want to talk.
Speaker 4: About something true.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, true. There's something I want to talk about
Speaker 3: as a mum. There's a mum who's online at the
Speaker 3: moment and she's getting absolutely roasted for a parenting hack
Speaker 3: that I, now that i'm a parent, think is genius.
Speaker 3: Back in the day, I used to judge it, and
Speaker 3: now I'm all for it.
Speaker 4: Okay, you're a changed woman. Yeah, we'll get to that next.
Speaker 1: Let's go a very gay edition of the Pickup for
Speaker 1: your Friday Afternoon starts now.
Speaker 3: Litter and sequence for everyone.
Speaker 4: That's right.
Speaker 3: Do you know what I've come to realize Before I
Speaker 3: had kids, I think, without even realizing it at the time,
Speaker 3: I used to judge the way that people parented their children. Right,
Speaker 3: And it's because you have no clue how to do
Speaker 3: it yourself, but you always think that you're going to
Speaker 3: do it better.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but you and I can be judging of parents
Speaker 4: at times.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, we judge your parent Yeah.
Speaker 3: I mean, let me say this is not me saying
Speaker 3: that I think I haven't figured it out, Like I
Speaker 3: do not know what I'm doing. And now that I'm
Speaker 3: at this point, I'm like, I'm okay with the fact
Speaker 3: that I don't know what I'm doing. But there's a
Speaker 3: woman who has gone viral online because she has come
Speaker 3: out and said that she puts her kids on a leash.
Speaker 3: Her little toddler, she puts them in a backpack, she
Speaker 3: straps him in, and she puts him on a leash
Speaker 3: so that he can't run away. Makes sense, Like it
Speaker 3: I love it. I love it. But back in the day,
Speaker 3: I would have said, oh my god, you can't leash
Speaker 3: a child. They're not a dog anyway. The reason I
Speaker 3: love it. And she's come out and she said, you know,
Speaker 3: my kid, he can run a hell of a lot
Speaker 3: faster than what I can. After having she had a cesarean,
Speaker 3: so like for her, she still had complications from her
Speaker 3: operation safety kind of thing. Yeah, and she's like, he
Speaker 3: is a little runner and he's so fast, and so
Speaker 3: when we're in public places, the kid just you turn
Speaker 3: your back, he turns around, he runs away, and now
Speaker 3: he can't because you just you're pulling back. It's brilliant.
Speaker 1: It's the perception, and it's always the terary backpack. It's
Speaker 1: I'm all for being a tired mom or a tired
Speaker 1: dad and not wanting to chase your kid, but it
Speaker 1: looks like you're walking a dog. It's not. It's not fun.
Speaker 3: Sometimes children behave like that, so they need to be
Speaker 3: on leave.
Speaker 4: Then why have you not? Have you leashed your kids
Speaker 4: or Marley.
Speaker 3: Laura, No, I haven't. But okay, so my mom, my mom,
Speaker 3: she used to leish my sister right, which we found
Speaker 3: out about and we were old.
Speaker 4: Your sisters name's Leish, Alisha.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Leish was leashed and and we've got photos of
Speaker 3: Alicia when she was a little kid being wished. But
Speaker 3: I was never the leashed. And I have this theory
Speaker 3: that my mom's jealous that you weren't. Your sister was leash. Yeah. Well,
Speaker 3: I mean for a while there, I started to think
Speaker 3: maybe it was because my mom didn't care if I
Speaker 3: did run away. I was like second child, and she
Speaker 3: was like, God, hopefully this one gets long.
Speaker 5: I genuinely think that's a thing, like I'm one of
Speaker 5: four kids, I have.
Speaker 3: No older brother.
Speaker 5: Thing.
Speaker 2: Really, no, it is, I have two older brothers and
Speaker 2: a little sister, so I'm third.
Speaker 5: Honestly like the strictness and the care level, and I
Speaker 5: want to say the care level, but it gets a
Speaker 5: lot loser attention to detail with the first. The attention
Speaker 5: to detail from one to four is extreme. I can't
Speaker 5: even as number three. I can. I can find probably
Speaker 5: two photos of myself as a kid. My poor sister Sherry,
Speaker 5: the fourth child, there's nothing. I don't think she has
Speaker 5: one photo. She was like the neglige, Like when you've
Speaker 5: got three other kids, the fourth one, you don't know where.
Speaker 4: It is one of three. It's the same for me everywhere.
Speaker 3: Yeah, But also I don't think that this is that
Speaker 3: the parents don't care. You're so busy by the time
Speaker 3: when you have one kid, there's nothing else for you
Speaker 3: to do except worry about that one kid. Right, you're
Speaker 3: taking photo all my little angels sit from the heavens.
Speaker 3: And then you have two kids and you're like, oh
Speaker 3: my god, I never stop. I don't have time to
Speaker 3: get my phone out. I don't care.
Speaker 2: You need to literally think of the children. And if
Speaker 2: you can't have enough time to take photos of kids,
Speaker 2: you shouldn't be having them.
Speaker 3: Reason why you have children is to photograph them.
Speaker 1: Have you ever confronted your mom? Because your mom's Nikola,
Speaker 1: she's gorgeous Nikki. Yeah, have you ever confronted her about this?
Speaker 5: You sure about why she loved my sister and I last.
Speaker 4: Yes, because it's clearly upset you.
Speaker 5: I haven't, but it is, I mean sure, like it's
Speaker 5: a bit concerning when I when I think about not
Speaker 5: being able to find any baby photos and just do.
Speaker 3: You mean you honestly, you go home, you look through
Speaker 3: the family album and there's not a baby photo of
Speaker 3: you or your sister.
Speaker 5: No, there's probably and I'm not exaggerating there. You know,
Speaker 5: when you need to circulate a bad baby photo you
Speaker 5: needed for something. There's three that I can think of.
Speaker 5: I don't remember seeing myself as a child, and my
Speaker 5: sister can't find any.
Speaker 4: She's got none.
Speaker 2: The fourth one, but I don't know where she reckon?
Speaker 2: I reckon?
Speaker 1: We read because she's a unhinged I who went through
Speaker 1: Scotland with the woman and she's crazy and.
Speaker 2: I traveled with my mom.
Speaker 3: She's just different.
Speaker 4: I think she took more photos of me on that
Speaker 4: trip than she did her own kids. The mountains. Mit,
Speaker 4: you're in Hogwarts. Take a photo.
Speaker 2: She has more photos of you than my sister sheery.
Speaker 4: Did you reckon? We call her Laura?
Speaker 3: Absolutely. I don't think you love me. I don't think
Speaker 3: you're going to get the answer that you want in
Speaker 3: this situation, but we can call it.
Speaker 4: Should you confront her Laura? Or should Brick?
Speaker 3: Should I then confront my mom as to why she
Speaker 3: didn't leash me? Is that where these segments going?
Speaker 1: Maybe then I'll confront my parents about my coming out story.
Speaker 1: So let's all get out.
Speaker 2: Let's call my mom and say why didn't you love me?
Speaker 4: Sounds great, let's do it next on the pick up.
Speaker 3: All right, So, just before the break, we were talking
Speaker 3: about a woman who is online. She's gone viral for
Speaker 3: putting her kid on a leash, a toddler on a
Speaker 3: leash because he runs away. I think it's fine. And somehow,
Speaker 3: somehow we spiraled down the rabbit hole of how when
Speaker 3: you have your mom doesn't love her. Yeah, that's that's
Speaker 3: when we ended up. BRIT's mom doesn't love her.
Speaker 5: No.
Speaker 3: But basically, when you have your first kid, you you
Speaker 3: are a helicopter mom. You care so much, you like,
Speaker 3: you do everything right, and then come as you have
Speaker 3: more kids, you just get a little bit more lax.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 5: And you one of four, Britt, Yeah, I'm number three
Speaker 5: or four and my sister is four or four, and
Speaker 5: we're disteriorated along the way.
Speaker 3: Let me tell you, well, what we've discovered with Britt
Speaker 3: is that as time progressed, she was looking for some
Speaker 3: baby photos and there isn't any, there's nothing. Her mom
Speaker 3: just not caring.
Speaker 1: Come, so we're going to confront your mom. Nicola the idea,
Speaker 1: but it's my idea. I think it's going to go down.
Speaker 3: Well, I think it's going to go down terrible.
Speaker 2: I'm concerned. But let's get her on the phone.
Speaker 4: We've got Nicola's numberle that dialer up. Does she work?
Speaker 4: What she's going to be doing?
Speaker 2: She does work?
Speaker 3: I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't know if she'll answer, but we'll try.
Speaker 4: Let's call BRIT's mum Nicola.
Speaker 6: Now, hello Nikki speaking.
Speaker 2: Oh hey mom, it's me as in your daughter, britt.
Speaker 3: Daughter.
Speaker 2: Sorry the number I think I have must have put
Speaker 2: private number on. I'm good, How are you?
Speaker 6: I'm good? Yeah, this pleasure.
Speaker 2: I was actually just wondering. I've been trying to find
Speaker 2: some baby pictures.
Speaker 6: They pictures, yeah, Ben Ben.
Speaker 5: Asked me for some baby pictures, and I was trying
Speaker 5: to put something together for Sherry.
Speaker 2: She was looking for her baby pictures too, and I
Speaker 2: can't seem to find any.
Speaker 6: Hmm, okay, I can go through all my photos. I've
Speaker 6: got hundreds that I can go through them, baby photos
Speaker 6: of Sherry.
Speaker 2: No photos of me.
Speaker 5: And I went through the photos, all the photo albums
Speaker 5: at home, and there's like five albums of Mitche and
Speaker 5: then four albums of Dane. I've got like what half
Speaker 5: an album, and then I cannot find literally one photo
Speaker 5: of Sherry, and I can't find one photo of Sherry
Speaker 5: and I together where Mum at him?
Speaker 6: Actual physical photos I've got.
Speaker 2: Why do the boys get Your.
Speaker 6: First born gets three thousand photos and then you haven't
Speaker 6: got any time by the time.
Speaker 4: The fourth cup Well, I don't know.
Speaker 2: It seems like deliberately.
Speaker 5: It's just one of those things, you know, like you
Speaker 5: don't love me as much as the boys.
Speaker 6: That'd be ridiculous. I probably didn't have time to get
Speaker 6: the camera out, Brett. I had four children under seven,
Speaker 6: so that's your father's, not mine. I can blame him
Speaker 6: for everything.
Speaker 2: What about Sherry, because poor Sherry.
Speaker 4: I don't have poor.
Speaker 6: Sheridan the photos of her at any age. But I
Speaker 6: will go through my photos.
Speaker 5: I just don't believe you have them. I'm thirty six
Speaker 5: years old and I've looked my entire life and I
Speaker 5: do not have a photo.
Speaker 6: Of myself photo albums. I've got all the photo albums here. Now,
Speaker 6: why did you.
Speaker 5: Have Why did you have so many kids if you
Speaker 5: couldn't take a photo of them?
Speaker 6: When I had children, I didn't think, oh maybe I shouldn't.
Speaker 6: I won't be able to take photos of the third
Speaker 6: and fourth. Oh no, no, I just always thought i'd
Speaker 6: have four.
Speaker 4: Children, Nikki, Laura and on your side, am.
Speaker 6: I on radio? Thanks for telling me, Bruce if.
Speaker 5: I haven't said anything, Well, no, luckily you said you
Speaker 5: love me. I mean that was the killer.
Speaker 6: Look, honestly, you just don't have time. But the time
Speaker 6: the third comes and then the fourth toros, Sherry really
Speaker 6: missed out.
Speaker 8: Just the way.
Speaker 6: It's just the way it is. Yeah, and your first one's,
Speaker 6: you know, really special. Oh you take three thousand fivethos
Speaker 6: off them, you know when the next one and the
Speaker 6: next one and the next one come along, it doesn't mean.
Speaker 4: All right, Nikki, Well we Suthi, you're a good mom.
Speaker 6: Just accept my explanation. That is the way it is.
Speaker 1: We can't shut her up, sick. Let's get Nikki off.
Speaker 1: Love your mom, love your Nikki. We should get her on.
Speaker 2: She can feel in the same last man, that's exactly
Speaker 2: the same.
Speaker 4: We got to the bottom of it. There you go.
Speaker 3: Yeah, poor dad, though two to ten, I don't know
Speaker 3: if you quite cock clocked on there. Though she did
Speaker 3: say the first one is special, and then you have
Speaker 3: the third and the fourth one, which would insinuate that
Speaker 3: the fourth one is not particularly special. She kind of
Speaker 3: did prove your point for it all.
Speaker 1: Right back after this on the pickup. We do this
Speaker 1: on Friday. Here at the pickup we were cashed up
Speaker 1: all thanks to Chemists ware House.
Speaker 3: And so nice, s gorgeous.
Speaker 4: It's a nice way to end the week.
Speaker 1: We did it once on a whim and we're like,
Speaker 1: you know what, let's just give away a five hundred
Speaker 1: dollars Chemists ware House for our pick up audience for
Speaker 1: them to share their little win, like a little moment
Speaker 1: of success this week.
Speaker 3: And it doesn't. It's not about the big stuff, because
Speaker 3: often we spend too much time celebrating all the big things.
Speaker 3: It's those little moments that kind of could have just
Speaker 3: passed you by. We're gonna give you five and a
Speaker 3: bucks sport.
Speaker 2: But I don't mind celebrating a big thing too, of.
Speaker 3: Course, But sometimes it's the little stuff that needs a
Speaker 3: bit more airtime.
Speaker 4: You know what happened to me.
Speaker 1: I was in the shower and I brushed my teeth
Speaker 1: in the shower and I ran out of toothpaste in
Speaker 1: the shower. Was oh no, And I thought we're gonna
Speaker 1: have to go to a Chemists ware house by more toothpaste.
Speaker 4: I had toothpaste in my top drawer in the bathroom.
Speaker 2: Well, that's that's just adult that you're an adult.

Speaker 1: hi vera. Welcome to the pickup.
Speaker 4: What was your little win this week?
Speaker 8: My little win for this week, I'm honestly rejoicing in
Speaker 8: the victory of unterrupted sleep. I've got a three month
Speaker 8: old Bob who has been giving me such a hard
Speaker 8: time the last couple of weeks, So this week has
Speaker 8: just been such a massive win. Just having six hour

Speaker 7: had a football camp. So I had a bunch of
Speaker 7: years sevens are absolutely starving after a whole day of
Speaker 7: intent exercise, and I was about to pick up all
Speaker 7: the pizzas and absolutely hecking me. And it was about
Speaker 7: thirty seven degrees and Adelaide just say and I just
Speaker 7: had to I should have taken them about five at
Speaker 7: a time, and so I just thought, I can't be
Speaker 7: bothered doing the big walk back to the bus in
Speaker 7: more than one goes. So you juggled with the fifteen
Speaker 7: pizzas and didn't drop any because I knew it would
Speaker 7: have been absolutely abused by my wonderful class of girls football.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they probably would have been the off the ground anyway,
Speaker 5: Like savage seven seven's pretty a.
