Speaker 1: Now, I had possibly the most wildest and quick turnaround
Speaker 1: trip to Africa in the last couple of days.
Speaker 2: I think you could say the weekend from hell almost.
Speaker 1: I feel really bad saying that, because we had this
Speaker 1: really beautiful reunion. My husband was on IM, get me
Speaker 1: out of here. I took the kids over to South
Speaker 1: Africa for us to have this like very genuinely beautiful
Speaker 1: moment on TV where we got to see him.
Speaker 3: Again, and it was stunning, stunning, so emotional, so beautiful,
Speaker 3: so many tears.
Speaker 2: It was like there was not a dry ironshit.
Speaker 1: The video was so beautiful. It's gone viral, but what well,
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's been a lot of comments. I
Speaker 1: don't know what constitutes viral these days. Whatever, just it's viral.
Speaker 1: Go follow my Instagram Lady in the Cat and Brittany UK.
Speaker 2: I'm joking, no.
Speaker 1: But the thing is that I haven't really been able
Speaker 1: to talk about and for any parent who has done
Speaker 1: solo international travel with two young children, it's really really hard.
Speaker 1: Like I have trouble on my own and that's hard too,
Speaker 1: But the thing is when you're traveling with two little kids,
Speaker 1: like my kids are four and five and doing three
Speaker 1: separate flights, which was where our trip over to South
Speaker 1: Africa was. It was like twenty four or twenty five
Speaker 1: hours of continuous travel to get to see mat and
Speaker 1: we had the tantrum to trump all tantrums. So we
Speaker 1: got to Singapore and we had a one hour layover
Speaker 1: and I did not think it was the middle of
Speaker 1: the night. I get them off the plane and like,
Speaker 1: they are so tired, absolutely wrecked, and on the plane,
Speaker 1: they've both been playing with this sticker book. Like they
Speaker 1: both got their own individual sticker books. Such a good
Speaker 1: travel hack. If you've got little kids on planes three
Speaker 1: hundred stickers each. Wow, Like there's no way you're going
Speaker 1: to get through three hundred stickers, Like we've got stickers
Speaker 1: for days. So we get off the plane and it's
Speaker 1: at that point that Lola takes a single sticker from
Speaker 1: Marli's sticker book, just one. The tantrum that followed that
Speaker 1: went for forty five minutes until we boarded the next plane.
Speaker 1: Marley was so distressed by losing one single sticker that
Speaker 1: she tried to get naked because she couldn't handle the
Speaker 1: rage that she felt in her body.
Speaker 2: Get my clothes.
Speaker 1: I'm so angry I must be naked. I don't know
Speaker 1: what it is with my children. When they're angry, they
Speaker 1: get naked. Yeah, Lola's been known to take your pants off,
Speaker 1: Like I don't get nude when I get mad.
Speaker 3: I was gonna say, kids usually learn from their parents.
Speaker 3: So do you and Matt just have an argument of
Speaker 3: a dinner and something? Start taking in clothes off?
Speaker 2: But different you cooked tonight, BRA's off? No, you cook
Speaker 2: pants off?
Speaker 1: No, we surprisingly don't. I think it's because they've got
Speaker 1: so much rage in their little bodies and they need
Speaker 1: to get it out in some way, and they know
Speaker 1: they can't hit their sister, so instead they just strip.
Speaker 1: For this is the thing, right, Sometimes your kids will
Speaker 1: have arguments like the ground zero of the argument itself
Speaker 1: is so dumb. It's so dumb that it's almost impossible
Speaker 1: to have any like understanding or reasoning or anything with
Speaker 1: the most outrageously stupid argument. And that's where we were
Speaker 1: at in the middle of the night. Well, I want
Speaker 1: to make you feel a little bit better.
Speaker 3: Breed just wrote in and said my son had a
Speaker 3: tantrum because his ears were stuck to his head.
Speaker 1: Bless him. He's gonna be happy for that. When he's older.
Speaker 1: My husband had to have a what's it called ears
Speaker 1: pinned back, and he paid a lot of money for that.
Speaker 3: He wants to get them taken off, so I don't
Speaker 3: think he's gonna okay. Hannah has written in and said
Speaker 3: my toddler had a tantrum because she decided that she
Speaker 3: hated her shadow and.
Speaker 2: It would leave her alone. She couldn't get away from
Speaker 2: her shadow. Just turn the lights off. No, put it
Speaker 2: in a dark room. Turn the lights off.
Speaker 1: We've got Tory on the line. Tory, what did your
Speaker 1: toddler have a tantrum about?
Speaker 4: She was upset that the dog could not carry her
Speaker 4: up the stairs. How dog?
Speaker 1: How big is the dog?
Speaker 4: He's a French bull dog.
Speaker 1: Very little.
Speaker 2: Well, she wanted to like ride him up the stairs.
Speaker 4: No, she fully wanted him to use his paws and
Speaker 4: carry her up the stairs.
Speaker 1: Hoh bless.
Speaker 4: She threw herself on the ground and she refused to
Speaker 4: come up.
Speaker 1: So understandable, understandable, Tory, thanks for the call. Jess. We
Speaker 1: got Jess on the line. What did your toddler have
Speaker 1: a tantrum about?
Speaker 4: She had a tantrum because we have two kitchen sinks
Speaker 4: and she only wanted one.
Speaker 2: Kids are so cooked? Did she know that people would
Speaker 2: die for two kitchen sinks? You're like, we're very lucky,
Speaker 2: Like that's lost, that's expensive.
Speaker 4: Yeah. I was like, it's not a fixable problem. They
Speaker 4: can't remove one.
Speaker 1: What was it about the two things that she was
Speaker 1: particularly upset about.
Speaker 4: I think she only had just realized we had two
Speaker 4: because there's always been a cover on one of them
Speaker 4: and I was cleaning it and so, yeah, not a
Speaker 4: good morning. Absolutely melt down over the realization that we
Speaker 4: had too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, her whole reality just changed. She freaked her out.
Speaker 1: Thanks for the cor jazz, Sasha, what did your toddler
Speaker 1: have a tantrum about?
Speaker 5: Okay, so was actually me that had the tantrum, but
Speaker 5: essentially what my sister stole my imaginary dug and I
Speaker 5: was in hysteric.
Speaker 2: Oh you meant as a kid you had a tang?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 1: No, but like, how did you know that she'd stolen it?
Speaker 1: If it was imaginary?
Speaker 5: I don't know. I would have been like four, And
Speaker 5: I came out and my sister then followed me, and
Speaker 5: she was patting the air and said, nice jucky, nice ducky.
Speaker 3: Do you know what though, if it's your imaginations make believe,
Speaker 3: and someone's gas lighting you into thinking that has been stolen.
Speaker 2: I can understand why you would have believed that, Like.
Speaker 3: While your imagination sort of switched into your sister's.
Speaker 1: Now, I like what you're trying to raise in this bridge.
Speaker 1: I am.
Speaker 2: I can understand this.
Speaker 5: Romatize me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I actually feel for you.
Speaker 1: Hey, Sasha, how old are you now?
Speaker 5: I'm twenty five, but I'm glad.
Speaker 1: That you've held onto this for all these years. I
Speaker 1: hope you got your imaginary duck back and your parents intervene.
Speaker 5: Thank you so much.
Speaker 3: I really did think though his question like how old
Speaker 3: are you when you stop having these tantrums? Because I thought,
Speaker 3: like five Marley's age five ish six. I thought that
Speaker 3: was on the other end of tantrums like that. I
Speaker 3: think tired plays a massive, massive, like a part in this. Also,
Speaker 3: you know you're never too old to miss your imaginary duck.
