8
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 2: I'm sharing something that I haven't shared before. We'll call

Speaker 3: give you a better one.

13
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 1: But oh okay, JR JR. Give us a good sound effect.

Speaker 1: All right, thank you.

15
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 2: So you saw the TV show Parental Guidance that I

16
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:49,959
Speaker 2: was the host of We're Taking You to.

17
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 3: The Nowhere, Buddy, Yes, and a huge well done on that,

18
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 3: by the way.

19
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, well that was It was a lot of fun,

20
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,639
Speaker 2: and so everyone wanted to know about parenting styles.

21
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: So putting a book together that is really.

22
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 2: Going to be exciting and rock people's worlds and share

23
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 2: stuff that has not been ever shared in any book previously.

24
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 2: Because there's cutting edge science that we need to talk about.

25
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 2: So I digress from the topic of today, but I

26
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 2: just wanted to put that out there. Oh, one more

Speaker 2: to have you here this week.

43
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: Kate. Today, a topic that I think we're going to

44
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: have some fun with.

45
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,079
Speaker 4: The thing that's sounding like a broken record.

46
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: The things that we've said. Did I say that already.

47
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure I already said that.

48
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 2: The top five things that we've said to our kids

49
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 2: these holidays, Yeah.

50
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 4: Oh my goodness.

51
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 3: They these are on repeat at the meat Household, that

52
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:26,239
Speaker 3: is for sure.

53
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:28,959
Speaker 2: Like me talking about the top five things that we've

54
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 2: said to our kids these holidays, I feel like I've

55
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:31,679
Speaker 2: said that already.

56
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 4: Well, I give you mine, how about I give you mind?

57
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: Let's do that.

58
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 2: Sorry, I'm actually I'm genuinely repeating myself because how annoying

59
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 2: is it? I'm sorry, I know you want to give

60
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 2: these things to you, but how annoying is it that

61
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:46,359
Speaker 2: you have to keep saying.

62
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: It over and over and over and over again.

63
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 4: So that's our purpose in this world of it?

64
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 3: How hard is it to put your towels in the basket,

65
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 3: not beside the basket, not on the floor, not on

66
00:02:57,880 --> 00:02:59,800
Speaker 3: the shelf, beside it, not in.

67
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:01,399
Speaker 4: Your bedroom, on the floor.

68
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 1: Hang up your towel?

69
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 4: Had is it? Is it?

70
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 1: Yeah? And I don't know.

71
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 2: I mean, it's summer, right, so the kids are swimming,

72
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 2: they're at the beach, they're playing under the sprinkle, they're

73
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 2: doing whatever, and you have to say it every day?

74
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 1: Oh and I.

75
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 3: Should probably amend it to And how hard is it

76
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 3: to just use one town you have to use all

77
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:22,359
Speaker 3: fourteen towels?

78
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:23,679
Speaker 4: We only own fourteenth.

79
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, who's got the good towel?

80
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,959
Speaker 4: Don't look the towel's thing. That's a whole nother podcast.

81
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 2: And do you have to leave it on the floor, Like,

82
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 2: if you leave it on the floor, it's going to

83
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 2: get dirty and it's going to have to be washed

84
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 2: every day. Anyway, I feel your pain. Please put the

85
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 2: towels in the basket or hang them on the hook

86
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 2: or on the rail.

87
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 3: I have a teenage boy who is fourteen years old,

88
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 3: So this sounds a little passive, I guess, but it's

89
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 3: remind me what time you are going to be home,

90
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 3: so we have time, so they need to be home.

91
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 3: But I like to hear him tell me back, yes,

92
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 3: so we'll be home.

93
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 4: It's sick, you're.

94
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 2: Making it sound passive aggressive. From a psychological point of view,

95
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 2: there's actually real power in that, because when you get

96
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 2: to somebody to restate a commitment, it actually that's a

97
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 2: really powerful way to make sure that the commitment is followed.

98
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 2: So don't feel bad about that, but it's obviously something

99
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 2: you've been saying a lot over the holidays.

100
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 3: I've been saying it a lot because I think, thank

101
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 3: you for saying that.

102
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 4: It's like a.

103
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: Good parenting Kate last work, there's one jick.

104
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 3: He understands, I understand, we have a deal. The next

105
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 3: one is now, I'm actually like, this isn't just about

106
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 3: summer holidays.

107
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 4: I'm summer, winter, autumn, spring on this. Have you got

108
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 4: your sunscreen?

109
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 3: Have you I cannot stretch, I'm sunscreen, sunsemscruns.

110
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, do your kids? Are your kids happy to wear sunscreen?

111
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 4: Yeah?

112
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 3: We've just got it in the bathroom now, and it's

113
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 3: it's almost one of the non negotiables.

114
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 2: So we've got to put our towels in the basket.

115
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 2: We need to say what time we're going to behime,

116
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 2: We've got to put our sunscreen on.

117
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 1: What else?

118
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 4: Have you matron at the hospital, don't I what else?

119
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 1: Do you find yourself constantly saying to the.

120
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 4: Kids you get what you get and you don't get upset?

121
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:02,919
Speaker 2: We say that, actually we've got a we've got a

122
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:06,160
Speaker 2: slightly softer version. Now we used to say that. We

123
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 2: say to the kids, well, you can be grateful or

124
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 2: you can grumble. Yeah, samey, what's your last one.

125
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 3: This one has hurt actually, and I realized how much

126
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 3: we've said it. It's I'm sorry, but we can't, and

127
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 3: that is I think that's going to be. How is

128
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 3: your summer holidays? There's going to big heaps. I'd like

129
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:33,359
Speaker 3: to think it's heaps of kids are not just ours.

130
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 3: The summer holidays maybe weren't what they were in previous years.

131
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 3: I felt like I was saying, you know, can we

132
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 3: go and hang out with our friends?

133
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, but we can't.

134
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 1: Right, And that's COVID related.

135
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 3: I assume COVID related. Absolutely. It just wasn't quite the environment.

136
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,479
Speaker 3: Either they were isolating, or we needed to do bits

137
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 3: and pieces, or or just trying to be smart and

138
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 3: conscious and safe. You know, is it really a great

139
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 3: idea to go to a big event that's inside. Maybe not.

140
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, but we can't.

141
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, So after a why it's start to think, geez,

142
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 3: not only do I sound like a matron right now,

143
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 3: but I'm also like the fun Police as well.

144
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, well you probably are. But I really resonate with that.

145
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 2: That wasn't on my list. But we've said that a lot,

146
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 2: and unfortunately we haven't had to say it in Queensland

147
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,279
Speaker 2: so much because of COVID related things, although in recent

148
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 2: weeks that started to shift. But we've had to say

149
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 2: it because I've had work to do and there must

150
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 2: be so many there's so many parents who've got to

151
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 2: work through Christmas and the kids are like can we

152
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, we can't, or yeah, just when I finished this,

153
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 2: And it's kind of that thing as apparently you're kind

154
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 2: of going, oh, I know, I'm supposed to be available,

155
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 2: and because the kids are home. Really it's like digging

156
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 2: that knife in and twisting it, isn't it? Like, oh, gee,

157
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 2: what sort of a parent am I to withhold this

158
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:53,520

Speaker 2: So the top five things that we've said to our

172
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 2: kids these holidays. My number one thing, Like I've said

173
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 2: this so many times, Kate, you've been on your screen enough?

174
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 4: Is this after you've put your screen down? Yeahful of that?

175
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what, not so much. I'm an avid

176
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 2: reader and my kids are too. I've actually read so

177
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 2: normally each year i'll read I don't know about forty

178
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 2: books a year. So far this year I've already read

179
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 2: nine books. I'm just and it's mainly because I've been

180
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 2: pretending that there's nothing else to do, and then I'm

181
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 2: under pressure because I've got work to do or as

182
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 2: has been mentioned, every day this week, we're in the

183
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 2: process of moving, so I've got to go on pack stuff.

184
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 2: And it's the worst because i haven't been reading so

185
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 2: much the last few days because of all the packing

186
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 2: and things. But the kids will come to me and say, Dad,

187
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 2: can we do this? Can you come in the pool

188
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 2: with us? And I'll have to say back to what

189
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 2: you said before? With you on number five.

190
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 1: Not now.

191
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 2: I don't have the ability to do that right now.

192
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 2: I'm too busy. I've got other stuff to do. I've

193
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 2: got to pack up the house. The house isn't going

194
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 2: to move itself.

195
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 1: Kids. But anyway you've been on your screens.

196
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 2: Enough has been my most repeated mantra of the holidays.

197
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 2: Very close behind it, would you please close the door?

198
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.

199
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 4: You need a neon light for that one, don't you know?

200
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 1: Would not make any difference.

201
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,719
Speaker 2: The third thing that I've been saying to the kids,

202
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 2: I can't believe that I'm saying this in a Queensland summer,

203
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 2: would you please take off your jacket?

204
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 3: Oh oh, when you see someone and it's a hot day, yeah,

205
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 3: you're rugger.

206
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 4: It makes you hot, makes me sweat looking at them.

207
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 2: That's exactly what That's exactly executed, ejectly what it was

208
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 2: going to say. I'm looking at them and I'm like,

209
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 2: so I'm packing boxes. For example, and the kids have

210
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:24,559
Speaker 2: just been for a swim. They get out of the

211
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:26,439
Speaker 2: pool and then they put We've got a couple of

212
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 2: puffer jackets in a couple of these wardrobes, and one

213
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 2: of the kids came into the garage.

214
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:31,199
Speaker 1: It's like it's.

215
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 2: Thirty two degrees outside. In the garage it's probably about

216
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 2: thirty eight degrees. And she's standing beside me while I'm perspiring,

217
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 2: like crazy, packing boxes so that we can move house,

218
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 2: in a puffer jacket. And I'm like, take it off.

219
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 2: You're wearing a single itt under it, and that's it.

220
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 2: And she's like, but I'm cold. I'm like you you're

221
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 2: lying to me. Yeah, you cannot possibly go no, I'm cold.

222
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 2: I'm like, you're not cold. I'm freezing cold. I just

223
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 2: got out of the pool. It's really cold, dad, It's

224
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:01,439
Speaker 2: not cold. It's thirty seven bajillion degree in here. And

225
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 2: of course she wouldn't take off the jacket, and and

226
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 2: and then did the jacket get stinky? And it en

227
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 2: is up in the wash And it's the middle of summer.

228
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 2: Why are we washing jackets in the middle of summer. Oh,

229
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 2: because somebody's got underarm odor and they're wearing jackets in

230
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 2: the middle of summer because they're pretending they're anyway, the anyway, anyway,

231
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 2: let's move on the fourth, fourth most common thing that

232
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 2: I've said these holidays.

233
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:25,280

Speaker 2: And the kids just keep on they open the freezer

249

252
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 2: a hard time Kate coming up with the fifth and

253
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 2: final thing that I've said the most these holidays. So

254
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 2: I asked one of the kids who stepped into the

255
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 2: office while I was putting this list together. I said

256
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 2: to her, Hey, hey, kiddo, what what have I said

257
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:34,439
Speaker 2: to you more than anything else these holidays? And I'll

258
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 2: actually this is one of my teenage daughters. It wasn't

259
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 2: the cute seven year old that said this, was one

260
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 2: of my teenagers. She looked at me and she smiled

261
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 2: and said that you love me.

262
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 1: Oh yes, ah.

263
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 2: I was like, you know what, for all the complaining

264
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:52,719
Speaker 2: about closing the door and taking off the jacket and

265
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:54,959
Speaker 2: getting off your screens and stop stealing my waist bars,

266
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:57,400
