WEBVTT - Sarah’s Day Slams Son’s School For Denying Holiday Leave 0:00:02.000 --> 0:00:05.080 Hello, and welcome to Outspoken. It's your dose of the 0:00:05.200 --> 0:00:08.959 hottest influencer and pop culture news twice a week. I'm 0:00:08.960 --> 0:00:12.639 Sophie Torba and coming up on today's show, Sarah's Day 0:00:12.720 --> 0:00:16.799 slams her Son's school over holiday debacle and Steph Claire 0:00:16.840 --> 0:00:21.520 Smith's Baby Bonanza. But first, m Davies and Lucy Jackson 0:00:21.600 --> 0:00:24.799 have shocked their followers by revealing how many times they've 0:00:24.960 --> 0:00:27.080 ordered Uber eats. Now, this is all part of a 0:00:27.120 --> 0:00:30.319 TikTok trend called the uber Eats Challenge, and it is 0:00:30.400 --> 0:00:32.920 all over my fore page at the moment. But for 0:00:32.960 --> 0:00:34.880 those who haven't seen it, there's a setting in the 0:00:34.960 --> 0:00:37.920 uber Eats app that tells you how many times you've ordered. 0:00:38.040 --> 0:00:40.320 I want to know is this a new feature that 0:00:40.440 --> 0:00:42.920 uber Eats is trying to promote or has someone just 0:00:42.960 --> 0:00:46.360 stumbled across it, because either way it seems like good 0:00:46.400 --> 0:00:49.600 pr for uber Eats. Well, it's great pr because Nicki 0:00:49.680 --> 0:00:52.120 and Lucy ended up sharing this video that's had over 0:00:52.159 --> 0:00:55.480 three hundred and ten thousand views and in it they 0:00:55.560 --> 0:00:58.880 expose their order numbers. So to make it more entertaining, 0:00:59.320 --> 0:01:03.040 they guessed their numbers before they were revealed, so Nicki 0:01:03.120 --> 0:01:05.520 gets two hundred and she was pretty close. She ordered 0:01:05.520 --> 0:01:08.959 one hundred and forty seven times. As for Lucy, she 0:01:09.160 --> 0:01:12.520 shocked everyone by revealing she had ordered uber eats five 0:01:12.600 --> 0:01:15.160 hundred and forty five times. I want to know, is 0:01:15.200 --> 0:01:18.280 this over the past year or is this the lifetime 0:01:18.280 --> 0:01:20.640 of them having the app? Well, when I originally saw it, 0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:22.120 I thought it was over a year, and I was like, 0:01:22.120 --> 0:01:24.640 oh my god, has she been ordering uber eats twice 0:01:24.720 --> 0:01:27.679 a day? However, the figure is a summary of the 0:01:27.720 --> 0:01:30.959 lifetime of the app, so thank god. Yeah, but even so, 0:01:31.160 --> 0:01:33.560 that is a lot of orders. Uber Eats even commented 0:01:33.600 --> 0:01:36.679 on the video, writing, doll, that's outrageous. The fact that 0:01:36.760 --> 0:01:39.080 uber eats is commenting and getting in on this makes 0:01:39.120 --> 0:01:42.080 me feel like it's part of an over arching marketing strategy. See, 0:01:42.120 --> 0:01:44.280 I actually don't think that's the case, because a lot 0:01:44.319 --> 0:01:47.360 of the conversations around it is that people are ashamed 0:01:47.440 --> 0:01:49.200 about how many times you're ordering from the app and 0:01:49.240 --> 0:01:51.640 that they need to cut back. Yeah, I suppose. It 0:01:51.680 --> 0:01:54.160 was quite interesting because m Davies also got in on 0:01:54.200 --> 0:01:57.280 the action, so she filmed a video with Nicki and 0:01:57.840 --> 0:02:00.680 M guessed that she had ordered Uber eats nine hundred 0:02:00.720 --> 0:02:03.480 and fifty times, and even though that sounds like an 0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:07.200 outrageous number, she had actually underestimated just how many times 0:02:07.240 --> 0:02:09.440 she'd ordered. Let's have a listen to what she said. 0:02:09.960 --> 0:02:14.760 It's gonna be bad. I'm scard. 0:02:14.880 --> 0:02:18.160 You have ordered uber eat one two hundred and seventy 0:02:18.200 --> 0:02:19.760 seven times. 0:02:20.320 --> 0:02:25.880 That's why my financial advice is like stun what. 0:02:28.960 --> 0:02:29.400 Stretch? 0:02:32.120 --> 0:02:34.280 I love how Nikky audibly gore so. I mean, I 0:02:34.320 --> 0:02:37.040 thought Lucy's was ridiculous, and then I heard m Davies. 0:02:37.400 --> 0:02:40.359 Isn't this just typical of influences though they're the ones 0:02:40.360 --> 0:02:43.320 who have disposable income, even though they've probably got more 0:02:43.320 --> 0:02:45.600 time than any of us to cook, They're like, nah, 0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:48.840 fuck it, I'll order it. I mean, I love the 0:02:48.880 --> 0:02:51.399 concept of Uber Eats and the ease of just being 0:02:51.400 --> 0:02:54.960 able to get something delivered. But I haven't looked at 0:02:55.080 --> 0:02:57.320 what my number is. I would think that it's probably 0:02:57.360 --> 0:02:59.960 a handful of times I've actually ordered from there because 0:03:00.200 --> 0:03:02.560 I don't want to pay for delivery, and I also 0:03:02.720 --> 0:03:06.000 find that when it's delivered it's often very cold. See 0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:08.600 I use it more. I actually did look at my number, 0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:11.040 and I have ordered it over the eight years I've 0:03:11.040 --> 0:03:13.320 had it eleven times. I know that's not a huge amount, 0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:16.040 that's not very many. But my husband also uses his 0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:18.280 app and he is the one that usually orders our takeaway, 0:03:18.320 --> 0:03:20.960 and he had two hundred times. See, I would rather 0:03:21.080 --> 0:03:23.240 just jump in my car, go down the road and 0:03:23.280 --> 0:03:25.400 make sure that the food is hot. Like, I think 0:03:25.480 --> 0:03:28.480 it takes a particularly lazy person to want to order 0:03:28.520 --> 0:03:30.400 on there that many times. Yeah, I think it's a 0:03:30.400 --> 0:03:33.720 pretty brave thing to do to expose your number, particularly 0:03:33.760 --> 0:03:37.320 if you're m Davies or Lucy Jackson, because I think 0:03:37.360 --> 0:03:39.640 it does say a lot about you as a person. 0:03:39.640 --> 0:03:43.000 Because when I heard their numbers, I immediately started making 0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:46.160 assumptions about their financial situation. You know, if the number 0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:47.840 is really high, You're like, oh, they must be earning 0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:49.680 so much money they don't even have to think about 0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:52.600 spending money or takeaway. And I also began to question 0:03:52.640 --> 0:03:55.560 their priorities and whether they should just be making their 0:03:55.600 --> 0:03:58.640 food at home. I think there's also a lazy connotation 0:03:58.720 --> 0:04:00.400 to it, But then there's all that's a lot of 0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:02.120 people that have been wearing it as a badge of honor. 0:04:02.360 --> 0:04:04.960 Do you not really irritates me when I'm down at 0:04:05.000 --> 0:04:08.480 a takeaway store, I just say Zambreros, for instance, and 0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:11.160 I have to wait for them to make the Uber 0:04:11.200 --> 0:04:14.040 Eats people's orders, and I'm like, I'm fucking in the store. 0:04:14.320 --> 0:04:17.240 I've bothered to get myself out on a winter night 0:04:17.520 --> 0:04:19.760 stand in the store order, and I'm having to wait 0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:22.240 for these people at home who are being lazy. Oh 0:04:22.320 --> 0:04:24.240 it pisses me off too. It has really screwed over 0:04:24.279 --> 0:04:27.239 how quick takeaway places are in terms of m davies. 0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:29.480 She ended up sharing a follow up video to explain 0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:31.640 herself a little bit further. This is what she said. 0:04:32.000 --> 0:04:34.200 I think I generally need to be put in rehab 0:04:35.640 --> 0:04:39.799 for Uber Eats. I have been looking at everyone else's 0:04:39.920 --> 0:04:47.120 on TikTok, and the worst part is Joel pretty much 0:04:47.120 --> 0:04:51.000 cooks for me every night on the barbecue. So I 0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:55.760 really don't have any excuse apart from the fact that 0:04:55.800 --> 0:05:01.440 I'm a mum. I reckon like, yeah, yeah, it's a 0:05:01.480 --> 0:05:04.000 serious problem, man, it's probably your house to close it. 0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:06.200 Now, and went on to say that seventy percent of 0:05:06.360 --> 0:05:08.839 Uber Eats orders were from Nando's, which is something that 0:05:08.920 --> 0:05:11.479 she could easily make it home. Now. A lot of 0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:13.920 people were trying to let her off the hook and said, look, 0:05:14.000 --> 0:05:17.039 you're a mum. Nikki Westcott waged in though and said 0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:19.760 ha ha. Joel said, you'd order a packet of chips 0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:22.239 from the survey if the mood's striped and coffees most 0:05:22.320 --> 0:05:25.000 days to be fair. Someone else pointed out that m 0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:27.240 Davies has had the app for around eight years, but 0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:28.960 it's only been a mum for less than ones. Well, 0:05:29.000 --> 0:05:31.520 it's quite interesting because when you crunch the numbers, so 0:05:31.520 --> 0:05:33.320 she's been on the app, as you say, for around 0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:36.839 eight years, that works out to one hundred and seventy 0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:39.799 orders a year. So she is ordering from uber Eats 0:05:39.880 --> 0:05:43.480 roughly two to three times a week. That is a lot. 0:05:43.680 --> 0:05:46.200 I mean, even her financial advisor has got involved and 0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:48.520 said that she needs to stop ordering from uber Eats. 0:05:49.200 --> 0:05:51.080 Honestly, I wasn't even going to bring this back up 0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:53.560 because I'm just like ugh, erasing it from my mind, 0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:55.200 and I also know that it's going. 0:05:55.120 --> 0:05:58.240 To ruffle Oh thank you a few people's feathers. Sarah's 0:05:58.320 --> 0:06:01.400 Day has slammed her son Fox School after they denied 0:06:01.480 --> 0:06:04.680 him leave to attend a family trip to Fiji. Despite 0:06:04.720 --> 0:06:07.760 the decision from the school, the self proclaimed holistic health. 0:06:07.760 --> 0:06:10.320 Princess still pulled the six year old out of class 0:06:10.400 --> 0:06:13.159 for the vacation, So can you tell us more well. 0:06:13.200 --> 0:06:15.800 Sarah and her family have been in Fiji celebrating her 0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:19.200 mum's sixtieth and also her sister's thirtieth, and it's actually 0:06:19.200 --> 0:06:22.040 the first time that Sarah has been overseas with her 0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:25.160 parents and sisters, but it is one of many of 0:06:25.200 --> 0:06:27.440 her trips with her husband and kids over the past 0:06:27.520 --> 0:06:29.800 few years. They feel like they've been to Fiji quite 0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:32.560 a few times in the last five years and Hawaii, 0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:34.880 Hawaii is one of their favorite places to go to. 0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:37.640 And whilst over the past week we've seen a lot 0:06:37.680 --> 0:06:40.719 of happy snaps and vision of the extended family having 0:06:40.920 --> 0:06:43.159 the time of their lives on this holiday, we have 0:06:43.279 --> 0:06:45.719 since discovered that the trip got off to a pretty 0:06:45.800 --> 0:06:49.000 sour note because while Sarah and her family were at 0:06:49.000 --> 0:06:52.000 the airport waiting to board their flight, Sarah got an 0:06:52.000 --> 0:06:55.159 email from her son, Fox's school, saying that his leave 0:06:55.400 --> 0:06:58.039 had not been approved and it was important for him 0:06:58.080 --> 0:07:01.960 to be at school learning. Now. Fox turned six in 0:07:02.120 --> 0:07:04.960 March and that's actually the same month he started school. 0:07:05.000 --> 0:07:08.200 Because it's compulsory and new South Wales for a child 0:07:08.240 --> 0:07:10.760 to start school by the time they're six years old, However, 0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:13.000 it's normal for them to actually start when they're five 0:07:13.040 --> 0:07:15.200 years old. Yeah, most parents try and get their kids 0:07:15.280 --> 0:07:18.840 into school as early as they can and start that education. 0:07:19.000 --> 0:07:21.600 But I mean, I wonder if it's due to flexibility. 0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:23.920 She wanted him at home more to lead more of 0:07:23.960 --> 0:07:26.120 a flexible lifestyle with him. I'm really not sure. I 0:07:26.160 --> 0:07:30.160 suppose it's her personal decision. But despite knowing that this 0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:32.680 news about the school would ruffle feathers, she decided to 0:07:32.720 --> 0:07:35.960 share this update with her one point two million followers anyway. 0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:38.920 She jumped on her Instagram stories while she was walking 0:07:39.000 --> 0:07:41.680 on a beach in Fiji and explained that as it's 0:07:41.680 --> 0:07:44.960 her son's first year of school, she was unaware of 0:07:45.000 --> 0:07:48.800 the school's policy for leave. Now. She prefaced that Fox 0:07:48.800 --> 0:07:52.120 didn't go to a special school AKA, she wanted everyone 0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:53.960 to know that he's at a public school and not 0:07:54.040 --> 0:07:57.640 a fancy private school, and she was quite surprised by 0:07:57.720 --> 0:08:01.520 the depth of the application process. Now. The school's rules 0:08:01.560 --> 0:08:04.520 stated that she had to apply for leave because her 0:08:04.520 --> 0:08:07.000 son was going to be away for longer than three days. 0:08:07.000 --> 0:08:09.680 They were actually spending a week in Fiji. Let's have 0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:11.600 a listen to some of what Sarah said. 0:08:12.240 --> 0:08:14.600 So I basically feel in this like extended le form. 0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:17.120 I talked to the receptionist girl and she's like, yeah, 0:08:17.200 --> 0:08:20.320 all good. You just have to send us now, like proof. 0:08:20.120 --> 0:08:22.240 Of your flights. And I was like, okay, cool. So 0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:23.760 I sent him proof of my flights. 0:08:23.880 --> 0:08:26.640 They responded by an email saying, sweet, We've got everything 0:08:26.680 --> 0:08:30.600 we need for this like getaway or whatever. And I said, obviously, 0:08:30.640 --> 0:08:33.560 like this is his Grandma's sixtieth trip, it's really important. 0:08:33.559 --> 0:08:36.480 Where he's only missing five days of school anyway, So 0:08:36.640 --> 0:08:38.960 day one of the trip, I get an email back 0:08:39.040 --> 0:08:42.360 like we're at the airport and basically it says that 0:08:42.400 --> 0:08:46.199 Foxes leave hasn't been approved. Yeah, anyway, I just I 0:08:46.240 --> 0:08:47.960 could go on and on about it, and I think, like, 0:08:48.000 --> 0:08:49.480 if you know, if you're a mom like me, like 0:08:49.760 --> 0:08:52.320 you get it. Yes, I want him to learn how 0:08:52.320 --> 0:08:53.240 to read and write and like be. 0:08:53.280 --> 0:08:54.240 In the classroom and everything. 0:08:54.280 --> 0:08:55.920 But I'm not, like I haven't pulled him out of 0:08:55.960 --> 0:08:58.280 school for like a month, and it's not like he's 0:08:58.320 --> 0:09:03.240 not anyway whatever whatever. But I responded and I was like, Okay, 0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:06.800 we'll we're at the airport, like, thanks, I guess. 0:09:07.920 --> 0:09:13.440 Anyway, whatever, whatever, well school. The fact that she referred 0:09:13.440 --> 0:09:16.599 to the receptionist as that receptionist girl like that just 0:09:16.640 --> 0:09:18.960 shows the amount of respect that was going on. It 0:09:19.040 --> 0:09:22.120 was quite patronizing. It's clear that she knew that this 0:09:22.280 --> 0:09:25.160 was going to be a controversial take, because she prefaced 0:09:25.160 --> 0:09:27.560 the post by saying that she was likely going to 0:09:27.640 --> 0:09:30.600 ruffle some feathers. I just am at a loss as 0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:33.520 to why you would take a potshot at your child's school. 0:09:34.040 --> 0:09:36.800 It's easily something that she could have just kept private. 0:09:36.880 --> 0:09:39.559 I mean, there's no question in my mind that this 0:09:39.640 --> 0:09:42.559 is getting back to the school, either through the parents 0:09:42.840 --> 0:09:44.839 or the staff who may follow her. Yeah, and it 0:09:44.880 --> 0:09:47.280 seems like she maybe wanted it to get back there, 0:09:47.400 --> 0:09:49.200 because why else would you put this out. She was 0:09:49.200 --> 0:09:51.280 clearly pissed off about it, and I mean, you can 0:09:51.320 --> 0:09:53.760 already see where the school stands on this. There's going 0:09:53.800 --> 0:09:55.960 to be a bit of animosity when she goes back 0:09:55.960 --> 0:09:59.080 into the classroom because they've made the decision that it's 0:09:59.080 --> 0:10:01.640 in his best intro that he be at school learning. 0:10:01.960 --> 0:10:03.920 Yet she's just been like, no, he's going to miss 0:10:03.920 --> 0:10:05.960 the whole week. I mean, that's going to put him behind. 0:10:06.000 --> 0:10:09.040 I mean, as someone whose parents are both teachers, maybe 0:10:09.080 --> 0:10:11.760 I look at this from a different perspective, but I 0:10:11.760 --> 0:10:15.320 feel for the teacher in this situation because not only 0:10:15.440 --> 0:10:17.480 is the teacher now going to have to invest more 0:10:17.480 --> 0:10:19.920 time in Fox, they're gonna have to take time away 0:10:19.920 --> 0:10:21.880 from the other kids in the class to make sure 0:10:21.880 --> 0:10:24.600 that he is then up to speed with what's going on, 0:10:24.679 --> 0:10:27.040 and that would not only be stressful for the teacher 0:10:27.040 --> 0:10:29.320 in the class, but also Fox. I'm interested to know 0:10:29.320 --> 0:10:33.439 what the ramifications are for ignoring the school, because I personally, 0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:36.040 I didn't know that a school could actually say no, 0:10:36.200 --> 0:10:39.120 you can't take your kid on a holiday. I understand 0:10:39.200 --> 0:10:41.360 why they have that process in place, though, because it's 0:10:41.440 --> 0:10:44.360 very disruptive for the child and also the class. As 0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:46.320 you were saying, yeah, I was talking about it to 0:10:46.320 --> 0:10:49.480 my husband, his dad is also a teacher, and we 0:10:49.480 --> 0:10:51.880 were like, I'd never really heard about this happening when 0:10:51.880 --> 0:10:55.120 we were kids, And it's because at school you get 0:10:55.320 --> 0:10:57.880 so many holidays, like every ten weeks, you then get 0:10:57.960 --> 0:10:59.600 two weeks of holidays. At the end of the year 0:10:59.600 --> 0:11:03.640 get five weeks of holidays. Most everyday. People also have 0:11:03.760 --> 0:11:06.840 to lodge holidays with their own work, so generally you 0:11:06.840 --> 0:11:09.520 try and fit around those school holiday times, even though 0:11:09.520 --> 0:11:11.319 it can be more expensive to go away. But I 0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:15.040 suppose from our family's perspective too, with our parents being teachers, 0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:17.760 we went on holidays because they had the break then, 0:11:18.000 --> 0:11:20.439 So it is more difficult for parents who aren't teachers 0:11:20.920 --> 0:11:23.840 to align their holidays with the school holidays. Yeah, and 0:11:23.840 --> 0:11:26.760 that's why there's generally more planning. In this instance, it 0:11:26.800 --> 0:11:28.760 felt like a bit of a last minute decision. It 0:11:28.800 --> 0:11:31.680 seemed like this form was lodged very late, which is 0:11:31.720 --> 0:11:33.800 why the school only got back to her when they 0:11:33.800 --> 0:11:36.880 were at the airport. It also really demonstrates the different 0:11:36.920 --> 0:11:39.680 lifestyle the influencers lead. I mean, if you look at Sarah, 0:11:40.000 --> 0:11:42.280 she is used to locking in a trip whenever she 0:11:42.440 --> 0:11:45.679 pleases due to the flexibility of her working for herself, 0:11:46.040 --> 0:11:48.320 and she's also got a disposable income. I mean, we 0:11:48.360 --> 0:11:50.920 saw it recently with Molly May. She decided to book 0:11:50.920 --> 0:11:53.960 a family trip with Tommy and Bambi to Dubai and 0:11:54.000 --> 0:11:56.920 they booked it in a day before they left. So 0:11:56.960 --> 0:11:59.280 they don't have the confines of the real world like us. 0:11:59.320 --> 0:12:01.600 Like they can just book whenever they want. So it's 0:12:01.720 --> 0:12:04.000 kind of interesting when people then send their kids to 0:12:04.040 --> 0:12:06.320 school and they have to abide by someone else's rules 0:12:06.360 --> 0:12:07.960 that they have a problem with it. Yeah, it makes 0:12:08.000 --> 0:12:10.440 me wonder whether she held back in rolling Fox into 0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:12.400 school for this very reason that she didn't want to 0:12:12.440 --> 0:12:14.960 have to abide by their rules. You know what I 0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:17.760 also found confusing. She seemed to be pleading a lot 0:12:17.760 --> 0:12:20.680 of ignorance in this case about the school's policies. But 0:12:21.040 --> 0:12:23.760 many people who have listened to Our Sarah's Day Deep 0:12:23.800 --> 0:12:26.720 Dive episode will know that she actually studied to become 0:12:26.760 --> 0:12:29.880 a primary school teacher before her YouTube took off. I 0:12:29.880 --> 0:12:31.920 think she only had a semester or so to go, 0:12:32.040 --> 0:12:34.600 but she was doing pracks within school, so surely she 0:12:34.640 --> 0:12:37.640 would have some understanding of the policies in place for leave. 0:12:38.000 --> 0:12:40.319 I also thought maybe she would have a different stance 0:12:40.440 --> 0:12:42.920 on the importance of education as well, all some respect 0:12:42.960 --> 0:12:45.160 for teachers. I have seen some people say, oh, well, 0:12:45.160 --> 0:12:47.840 he's probably learning more on this trip than he would 0:12:47.880 --> 0:12:51.080 be back at school, because obviously people learn about different 0:12:51.120 --> 0:12:54.680 cultures and through experiences. What do you think about that theory? Well, 0:12:54.880 --> 0:12:57.480 I think that is a pretty good point, But he 0:12:57.559 --> 0:13:00.360 has been to Fiji fairly recently, I think maybe within 0:13:00.400 --> 0:13:02.360 the last year to six months, so I'm not sure 0:13:02.800 --> 0:13:06.160 how much more beneficial it would be going again. But also, 0:13:06.360 --> 0:13:08.760 when you go to a place like Fiji, typically you 0:13:08.840 --> 0:13:11.199 are stuck in a resort. It was a tourist bubble, 0:13:11.480 --> 0:13:14.640 and I understand that obviously they have some traditional dances 0:13:14.679 --> 0:13:16.480 that come into the resort and those sort of things, 0:13:16.520 --> 0:13:19.160 but I'd hardly say it's the same as going to Europe, 0:13:19.200 --> 0:13:21.319 where you're going to be going on different excursions and 0:13:21.400 --> 0:13:24.080 learning about history and that sort of thing. I think 0:13:24.160 --> 0:13:26.560 age also comes into it as well, with Fox being 0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:29.559 six and being a little bit delayed at primary school. 0:13:29.840 --> 0:13:32.080 The hope probably was from his teachers that he would 0:13:32.120 --> 0:13:34.040 do a couple of terms of reception and then go 0:13:34.120 --> 0:13:37.720 into year one. However, this holiday may have delayed that 0:13:37.760 --> 0:13:40.880 process a little bit. Also think that it sends a 0:13:40.920 --> 0:13:43.240 bad message to him that you can just leave school 0:13:43.240 --> 0:13:45.600 whenever you want to on a holiday. And I mean 0:13:45.679 --> 0:13:48.040 reception in year one. They're really fundamental years where you 0:13:48.080 --> 0:13:50.880 are learning the absolute basics that you need to then 0:13:50.920 --> 0:13:54.679 progress into the next years. I just don't understand why 0:13:54.800 --> 0:13:56.880 she's publicly put it out there that the school isn't 0:13:56.880 --> 0:13:59.400 happy with her decision, as well the fact that she's 0:13:59.440 --> 0:14:02.080 been in the business for ten years, she is savvy 0:14:02.200 --> 0:14:05.400 enough to know that her critics and even the media, 0:14:05.480 --> 0:14:08.079 they had to create a narrative about this self important 0:14:08.120 --> 0:14:10.840 influencer who has pulled their son out of school to 0:14:10.880 --> 0:14:12.800 go on a lavish holiday, which is exactly what the 0:14:12.840 --> 0:14:16.080 Daily Mail did. And I just wonder if maybe she's 0:14:16.120 --> 0:14:18.320 so out of touch and was so mad that the 0:14:18.360 --> 0:14:21.280 school scolded her in this way, that she just wanted 0:14:21.280 --> 0:14:24.880 that instant affirmation from her supporters and wanted reassurance from 0:14:24.920 --> 0:14:27.240 other mums that maybe she made the right decision. Because 0:14:27.280 --> 0:14:29.800 she kept saying, oh, the mums will get it, I 0:14:29.840 --> 0:14:31.640 felt it saying I don't actually think they will. I 0:14:31.640 --> 0:14:34.200 think she's probably just surrounded by yes people and this 0:14:34.280 --> 0:14:36.320 is the first time in a long time someone has 0:14:36.360 --> 0:14:39.120 said no to her. Yeah. I also wonder if she's 0:14:39.120 --> 0:14:41.720 trying to get a bit of engagement. She hasn't created 0:14:41.760 --> 0:14:45.400 much controversy for a while now, and that is reflected 0:14:45.520 --> 0:14:48.360 in her viewcount. I mean, obviously she's still getting okay views, 0:14:48.360 --> 0:14:51.200 but it's nowhere near to the engagement she used to get. 0:14:51.560 --> 0:14:53.160 So I realized I kind of shot myself in the 0:14:53.160 --> 0:14:55.440 foot with the whole wait count down to the baby coming, 0:14:55.520 --> 0:15:00.280 because now it's making the anticipation. 0:14:59.800 --> 0:15:03.160 Of so Steph gles Smith and her husband Josh Miller 0:15:03.200 --> 0:15:06.200 announced the arrival of their baby daughter on Friday night. 0:15:06.560 --> 0:15:08.920 The finness influencer and models struck up a deal with 0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:13.320 Vogue magazine, releasing exclusive photos from her birthing suite. Sophie, 0:15:13.320 --> 0:15:15.600 We've been on baby watch for a while now. Yeah, 0:15:15.640 --> 0:15:17.680 this feels like one of the longest pregnancies, and I 0:15:17.680 --> 0:15:21.280 don't know if it's because I've been experiencing it alongside 0:15:21.320 --> 0:15:24.120 Steph clear Smith in a parasocial way, because I think 0:15:24.160 --> 0:15:27.120 that you have this special connection with influencers when you're 0:15:27.160 --> 0:15:29.720 pregnant around the same time as them. She's only a 0:15:29.760 --> 0:15:32.320 few weeks ahead of me, and I keep looking at 0:15:32.360 --> 0:15:35.640 her as to what I'm expecting next. That influencer for 0:15:35.720 --> 0:15:38.960 me was jar Da Tuni, So we've spoken about it recently, 0:15:38.960 --> 0:15:41.600 but when she's gone for round two, I was like, honey, 0:15:41.800 --> 0:15:44.600 I'm not up to that yet. I think there was 0:15:44.680 --> 0:15:49.240 also more anticipation around this pregnancy because Steph les Smith 0:15:49.320 --> 0:15:52.400 and her husband. They decided to keep the gender a secret. 0:15:52.520 --> 0:15:55.200 That made it really exciting for us playing at home, 0:15:55.240 --> 0:15:58.080 and you can tell Steph was absolutely over the moon 0:15:58.120 --> 0:16:00.320 when she found out that she had a little girl. Yeah, well, 0:16:00.360 --> 0:16:03.320 it looked like she had some sort of professional photographer 0:16:03.480 --> 0:16:06.920 in the birthing suite, because she shared this carousel of 0:16:07.120 --> 0:16:09.720 very beautiful black and white photos of the moment she 0:16:09.840 --> 0:16:12.920 discovered the gender. And in one of the photos she 0:16:13.040 --> 0:16:17.360 is literally screaming in excitement, and then she burst into tears. 0:16:17.800 --> 0:16:20.200 So she shared these on social media and wrote, one 0:16:20.240 --> 0:16:23.200 of the most euphoric feelings in the world. These snaps 0:16:23.240 --> 0:16:25.960 are raw moments of us finding out our little one's gender. 0:16:26.000 --> 0:16:29.160 And my gosh, the surprise was so so special. It 0:16:29.200 --> 0:16:31.440 was you in there all along the way. You came 0:16:31.480 --> 0:16:34.720 out so calm, so alert, just looking straight into my eyes. 0:16:35.040 --> 0:16:37.960 I fell in love instantly, So grateful to have another 0:16:38.040 --> 0:16:41.400 little being to love like this now. She dubbed these 0:16:41.440 --> 0:16:44.440 photos as their gender reveal. Is this going to be 0:16:44.480 --> 0:16:47.680 a new thing. We've got cakes, We've got the glitter guns. 0:16:48.120 --> 0:16:49.720 Is this now going to be a thing where people 0:16:49.720 --> 0:16:53.200 who decide to have the surprise have a professional photographer 0:16:53.200 --> 0:16:56.080 in there to capture the moments that the parents discover 0:16:56.160 --> 0:16:58.480 the gender. Well, maybe just for influencers. I mean it 0:16:58.520 --> 0:17:01.080 did get me thinking because I found out the gender 0:17:01.080 --> 0:17:02.840 of my baby, and if I were to have a 0:17:02.880 --> 0:17:05.520 second one, seeing this photo, I was like, maybe it 0:17:05.560 --> 0:17:07.960 would be nice to find out in the I think 0:17:08.000 --> 0:17:10.920 that's something special about not finding out the second time, 0:17:11.320 --> 0:17:13.639 because there can be a bit of gender disappointment if 0:17:13.680 --> 0:17:15.840 you're really gunning for a particular gender. And then I 0:17:15.880 --> 0:17:18.560 think in the moment, obviously, birth is so beautiful and 0:17:18.640 --> 0:17:21.320 exciting that whatever you get you're gonna be happy with. 0:17:21.400 --> 0:17:23.720 If I was to have another boy, I'd be like, oh, 0:17:23.720 --> 0:17:26.040 that's amazing, brothers, because I do think that there is 0:17:26.080 --> 0:17:30.160 a special connection that same sex siblings have. And then 0:17:30.200 --> 0:17:32.320 if it was a girl, I'd be so excited because 0:17:32.400 --> 0:17:34.520 I'd have one of each. So I think when it 0:17:34.560 --> 0:17:36.720 gets to the point where you'd be excited about both, 0:17:36.760 --> 0:17:38.959 that's when maybe you're like, Okay, we'll have it as 0:17:38.960 --> 0:17:41.240 a surprise. Yeah, we got to talk about the name. 0:17:41.600 --> 0:17:45.199 So they have called their baby girl Billy Claire Miller, 0:17:45.320 --> 0:17:47.520 and I thought it was pretty iconic that they put 0:17:47.520 --> 0:17:49.480 the Claire in there. Yeah, I like that nod to 0:17:49.560 --> 0:17:52.879 her name because she's become known as Steph cles Smith. 0:17:53.000 --> 0:17:55.840 Claire is obviously her middle name. It's a brand, isn't it. Yeah, 0:17:55.880 --> 0:17:57.880 not a lot of us go by our full name 0:17:57.920 --> 0:17:59.959 with our middle name. I think it was an instrum 0:18:00.359 --> 0:18:03.800 thing where Steph Smith would have been taken. Olivia Rogers 0:18:03.800 --> 0:18:05.639 does it as well. She a lot of people know 0:18:05.680 --> 0:18:07.800 her as Olivia Molly Rogers. I don't know if it 0:18:07.840 --> 0:18:09.680 was just Instagram. I mean, I think it's the fact 0:18:09.760 --> 0:18:12.680 that Steph Smith sounds pretty shit like it doesn't It 0:18:12.720 --> 0:18:15.679 sounds pretty plain, Steph Clay Smith. That sounds good exactly. 0:18:15.720 --> 0:18:18.119 You've got to throw the middle name in there. I 0:18:18.160 --> 0:18:20.159 am just predicting that we're going to have an onslaught 0:18:20.160 --> 0:18:22.840 of baby girls called Billy. Well, it's been a popular 0:18:22.920 --> 0:18:25.040 name for a while, like Bet Judd's daughter is called 0:18:25.080 --> 0:18:28.040 Billy and she's about eight years old. Actually, I checked 0:18:28.080 --> 0:18:30.880 the charts and it ranks at number sixty three in Australia, 0:18:30.880 --> 0:18:33.159 so it's not as popular as what I thought it was. 0:18:33.200 --> 0:18:35.480 I think it was a while ago, so maybe she's 0:18:35.520 --> 0:18:37.400 bringing it back. Well, Steph said that when it came 0:18:37.400 --> 0:18:39.760 to girls' names, they had been set on Billy for 0:18:39.840 --> 0:18:42.199 quite a while, but they were struggling to come up 0:18:42.240 --> 0:18:45.040 with boys' names. She said they had around three boys' 0:18:45.080 --> 0:18:47.240 names that they liked, but they weren't in love with 0:18:47.359 --> 0:18:49.320 any of them, so it was quite a relief that 0:18:49.359 --> 0:18:51.159
