1
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:07,080
Speaker 1: It's the Happy Families podcast. It's the podcast for the

2
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:10,160
Speaker 1: time poor parent who just wants answers.

3
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 2: Now, your family situation may look really really messy to

4
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:17,120
Speaker 2: the outside world, it's yours and it's made.

5
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:19,800
Speaker 3: It's you if you've made them.

6
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:21,320
Speaker 2: Yes, but it works.

7
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,239
Speaker 1: And now here's the stars of our show, my mom

8
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 1: and dad.

9
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 3: It's Friday. It's Friday. It's Friday. Can I say it again?

10
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 3: It is Friday. So so excited about it, mainly because

11
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 3: tomorrow we move into our house.

12
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:40,239
Speaker 2: We got the keys yesterday, but the truck doesn't arrive

13
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 2: until tomorrow.

14
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 3: No, but that's okay. Guess what we get to clean

15
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,599
Speaker 3: all day today. That's it, Yaya than me. Hey, I'm

16
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 3: going to help you. I'm going to help you. I'm

17
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 3: going to be in there. I'll be using all of

18
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 3: the elbow grease that I have and then I don't know,

19
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 3: finding something else to do. Handy, maybe handy. Maybe I'll

20
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 3: go on check the surf. Don't think so, Hey, I'll

21
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 3: do better tomorrow. This is our favorite part of the week.

22
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 3: It's the bit where we get to be intentional and reflective,

23
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 3: the bit where we focus on the stuff that's happened,

24
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 3: the things that we can learn about how to be

25
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 3: better parents, because it's only through identifying and practicing this

26
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 3: stuff that we get to be better. I mean, if

27
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 3: we don't, like, get a paring coach, right, that's what

28
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 3: the Happy Family's membership is for. But ultimately it's up

29
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 3: to us to do the practice. If you want to

30
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 3: get something good at something, you've got to practice. I

31
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,319
Speaker 3: want to learn a language, that's what Duolingo's for, so

32
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 3: that you can practice. I want to learn how to

33
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 3: play a musical instrument. Practice. I wanted to learn to

34
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 3: be a great parent. Practice. So intentional reflection about how

35
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 3: things have gone over the last week, and hopefully there'll

36
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 3: be some ideas in here that will be helpful for

37
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 3: you in your home as you consider this weekend and

38
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 3: next week and moving ahead with your family.

39
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 2: The one shortfall in your little analogy there about practice, practice,

40
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 2: practice is that if you just keep practicing the same

41
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 2: things without new skill sets in place, yes, you're going

42
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 2: to get the same outcome. Yes. And so as a parent,

43
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 2: when you recognize that something's not working.

44
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:09,679
Speaker 3: You need to do something.

45
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 2: Just seeing that over and over a can isn't always

46
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 2: going to be the best outcome.

47
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 3: I keep getting cranky at my kids when they're annoying me.

48
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 3: I should practice. Yeah, yeah, I get it. We need

49
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,079
Speaker 3: to work out the response thank you. So hopefully we'll

50
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:24,839
Speaker 3: be able to share with you some ideas to help

51
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 3: you to practice more effectively to be a happier parent.

52
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 3: I'm going to go first this week because my one's

53
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 3: really really short. The last well until like early this week,

54
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 3: I've had COVID. I was in bed for a few

55
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 3: days and pretty much locked myself away from the family,

56
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 3: didn't have anything to do with anybody. It was miserable,

57
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 3: watched I don't know how many hours of Netflix. It

58
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 3: was just appalling. Head was foggy, couldn't really think. And

59
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 3: when I say it was bad, I mean I've had

60
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 3: man flu that's been far worse.

61
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 2: But nothing beats manflu.

62
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 3: No, no, Well, and I'm surprised that you actually know

63
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 3: and understand that, given that you haven't had man flu,

64
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 3: possible for you to have man flu. You have an

65
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 3: idea how bad it is, I mean no idea. Yeah,

66
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 3: it is no idea, But I know that COVID affects

67
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:09,519
Speaker 3: people in all sorts of different ways, some people terribly,

68
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 3: some people not at all. For me. It was a

69
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:12,519
Speaker 3: sniffle and a cough and a little bit of a

70
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 3: foggy head for a couple of days. Maybe it's because

71
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,920
Speaker 3: I've got excellent jeans. Maybe it's because I've had three

72
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,119
Speaker 3: vaccination booster thing. I've had the booster plus the double

73
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 3: vax thing. Maybe it's was just.

74
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 2: All that extra love and attention you got.

75
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 3: Luck of the draw, any of those things. But my

76
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 3: odd do better tomorrow is that for the entire week,

77
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 3: the kids would call out from the door, can I

78
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 3: come in and hug you? And I had to say

79
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 3: no for day after day after consecutive day, and it

80
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 3: was awful. I mean, of all of the things that

81
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 3: that week in isolation did to me, it was the

82
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 3: inability to hug you and the kids that was the

83
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 3: hardest thing of all. So my odd do better tomorrow

84
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 3: is a really simple one. Don't miss any opportunity to

85
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 3: hug your kids because it's such a gift, it's such

86
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 3: a privilege, and when you can't do it, it's astonishing

87
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 3: just how much you miss it.

88
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 2: I might have got a few extra hugs this week.

89
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's just say I've made up for it. Since

90
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 3: I've been allowed out of the bedroom. It's been really nice.

91
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 3: After the break, we'll find out how Kylie is going

92
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:23,280
Speaker 3: to do things better tomorrow. The twenty first century is

93
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,239
Speaker 3: a tricky time to be a teen girl. Alcohol, drugs,

94
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 3: mental health concerns, body image issues, technology, sex. Our daughters

95
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:34,479
Speaker 3: face all these and more. The Happy Famili's Misconnection Summit

96
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 3: brings together the best modern day experts on teen girls

97

Speaker 3: to show you how to stay connected with your daughter

98
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 3: and help her face these challenges head on, Available online

00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 3: via video at The Happy Family's webshop.

100
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 2: It's the Happy Families Podcast, the podcast for the time

101
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,279
Speaker 2: poor parent who just wants answers now. And I know

102
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 2: you said that Friday is our favorite day, but sometimes

103
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,799
Speaker 2: it's our hard day when you have to look yourself

104
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,160
Speaker 2: in the mirror and recognize that there's what what are

105
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:00,919
Speaker 2: you looking at me? Like?

106
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 3: I've got no idea where this is going. I'm trying

107
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 3: to think of why looking yourself on a Friday it

108
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 3: would be any different looking yourself.

109
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 2: Because it's reflective, and when you're reflecting and recognizing that

110
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,600
Speaker 2: there are things that you need to work on, it

111
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 2: actually can be a little bit tricky.

112
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 3: You're being metaphorical.

113
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 2: I literally Okay, well, I'm about to get very metaphorical,

114
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 2: so you're going to have to put your metaphorical hat on.

115
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 3: I literally thought that you were saying Fridays are hard

116
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,599
Speaker 3: because I'm so worn down by the end of the weeken.

117
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 3: When I see myself in the mirror, I look tired,

118
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,599
Speaker 3: and that's where I thought you were going. I'm like,

119
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 3: what is this. This is not the old do better

120
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 3: tomorrow that I thought you were chasing.

121
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:41,599
Speaker 2: Well, last weekend, I had this opportunity to care some

122
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 2: thoughts from a friend and he shared this amazing analogy

123
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 2: and it was going in a totally different direction to

124
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:48,359
Speaker 2: where I'm going to take us today.

125
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 3: But it got me thinking, So this is last weekend

126
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 3: while I was in bed, isolating myself and missing out

127
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 3: and all the fun. But everyone else that's right.

128
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 2: So he shared this experience where he and some mates

129
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 2: went along to this scouting activity and they had teams

130
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 2: and each scout pack had to create a raft, and

131
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 2: so they worked tirelessly as a team to put this

132
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,839
Speaker 2: raft together and they were so proud of it until

133
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:16,919
Speaker 2: they showed up on the day of this you know,

134
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:22,480
Speaker 2: competition and saw one of the other teams show up

135
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 2: with this beautifully structured, probably over engineered raft. It was

136
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 2: it had like it was complete with a rudder, and

137
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 2: it had chairs and seats to sit on. It was

138
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 2: just beautiful.

139
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 3: And it was like, we are toast.

140
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 2: And then the other team showed up and they were like,

141
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 2: where's your raft and they went, oh, it's just here,

142
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 2: and they pulled out two rubber dinghies that they had

143
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,599
Speaker 2: just roped together, and he was like, it's like, it's

144
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 2: totally cheating. So anyway, he was like, we are we smoked, Like,

145
00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 2: there's no way we're going to be able to, you know,

146
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 2: kind of win this thing. But anyway, as it turned out,

147
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 2: the two rubber dinghies gone in and they hadn't taken

148
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 2: into account balancing and the center of gravity. So when

149
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 2: the guys got in the rafts, the two rubber dinghies

150
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 2: because they.

151
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 3: Were tied together, scout taco totally. That's exactly what happened.

152
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 2: So they were disqualified. And so then the next thing,

153
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 2: the over engineered raft went in the water and they

154
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 2: were like, we're so toast. These they just look amazing.

155
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 2: And so the raft went in, but about ten meters

156
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 2: out it sank. It was too heavy. All of the

157
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 2: extra stuff that they'd put on it had made it

158
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 2: too heavy and it didn't float.

159
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 3: Wow, was anyone on it? What it sank?

160
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 2: Yeah?

161
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:48,679
Speaker 3: Totally? They all got red.

162
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 2: So the only team that actually survived this was this

163
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 2: haphazard looking, scrappy raft that had been put together by

164
00:07:58,040 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 2: a whole heap of kids.

165
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 3: What was the really nice one wasn't put together other kids?

166
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 3: I'm guessing not really? Yeah, right, so the grown ups

167
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 3: have done it and said, hey, kids, look what we've

168
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 3: done for you. You'll win this for sure. Yeah, and

169
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 3: they didn't.

170
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 2: And as I kind of was thinking about that and

171
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 2: just thinking about I guess parenting in general, when we

172
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 2: rely on you know, kind of looking at social media

173
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 2: or even taking into account the hundreds of thousands of

174
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,239
Speaker 2: different people out there giving us advice.

175
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 3: Yep, it's a bit.

176
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 2: Like that beautiful, over engineered raft and it's not ours.

177
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 2: It doesn't fit us, it doesn't it doesn't work with

178
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 2: what we are trying to achieve. And then you've got

179
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 2: the other guys over here who've pumped up a couple

180
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 2: of days and stuck it together and gone, she'll be

181
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 2: right mate, And that doesn't work either. But what I

182
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 2: loved about this middle one, this hap hazard. It looks

183
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:54,839
Speaker 2: really messy to the outside world.

184
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 3: It was a genuine do it yourself effort. Yeah, but

185
00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:59,079
Speaker 3: it works yep.

186
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 2: And so off as a parent, you're sitting there and

187
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 2: you're hearing somebody else say something and telling you what

188
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 2: you should or shouldn't be doing, and it looks like

189
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 2: this beautiful raft all ready to go with its rudder

190
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 2: and its you lounge shears on top. But it just

191
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:18,680
Speaker 2: doesn't fit for you and your family. And while your

192
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 2: your family situation may look really really messy to the

193
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:27,319
Speaker 2: outside world, it's yours and it's made.

194
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 3: You if you've made them.

195
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 2: Yes, but it works. And so often I think we

196
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,319
Speaker 2: just we want that beautiful we want that beautiful raft,

197
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 2: We want everything to look like that.

198
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 3: But in the end, it didn't work.

199
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 2: It's sunk. And what we have is this amazingly creative

200
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 2: way of doing life. In the Coolson family and the

201
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 2: Brown family and the Jones family, we've all got a

202
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 2: different way of doing it. The most important thing is

203
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 2: that it floats. And so as I was just thinking

204
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 2: about so many experiences that we've had, even just in

205
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 2: this last week with our kids, we have we have

206
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 2: been going through such a major transition over the last

207
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 2: four or five months, and tomorrow we actually get to

208
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 2: kind of start to plant some roots in a place

209
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:16,679
Speaker 2: that we've come to love. But it's looked really, really messy,

210
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 2: and it has been hard, but we're making it work.

211
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 3: I think that life happens in those transitions that we

212
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 3: keep on. I've heard each of us say from time

213
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 3: to time, our life will begin when we finally get

214
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 3: the house, when we finally move in, when we finally

215
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,839
Speaker 3: do this. But life is happening the whole time, and well,

216
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,839
Speaker 3: we haven't drowned yet. Life continues to happen in those transitions,

217
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 3: and well, it's great to have things to look forward to.

218
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 3: We've got to be able to savor those amazing moments

219
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 3: that are happening during the transition. It's the growth that

220
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 3: comes from adversity and trial and challenge. So nice one, Kylie,

221
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 3: that's great. It's make me feel a little bit bad

222
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 3: because I get paid to give people the prepackaged here

223
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 3: it is. It's in the book How to Make Your

224
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 3: Family Happier. You make me feel like maybe I'm out

225
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:01,439
Speaker 3: of business all of a sudden.

226
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 2: Know, but there has always been an acknowledgment by you

227
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:06,960
Speaker 2: that some things will fit your family and some things won't,

228
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 2: and we have to find our own We have to

229
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 2: trail our own path.

230
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:15,679
Speaker 3: Even with the webinar on Monday Night about punishment rewards,

231
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 3: about time out and praise and all of the different

232
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 3: behavioral techniques that people have used over the centuries, decades, millennia,

233
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 3: and even just in the last week that people are

234
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 3: use using to raise their kids. One thing that I've

235
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,199
Speaker 3: noticed is that people have gotten really hot under the

236
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,679
Speaker 3: collar about this idea that I'm suggesting that there's another way.

237
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 3: There is, But you don't get to figure that out

238
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 3: and practice it and get it right in a day

239
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 3: or a week or a month. Like this stuff takes

240
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 3: a lifetime to perfect. You get better and better with

241
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 3: time and with age and with practice. So enjoy your mess.

242
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 3: I hope your weekends one great big mess ours will be.

243
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 3: We've got and you keep dry. We've got an entire

244
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 3: shipping container to unpack out of the back of a

245
00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 3: t and then unpack out of all the boxes and

246
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 3: then put together. I don't know how we're going to

247
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,680
Speaker 3: get through the weekend. I don't know, do you what

248
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 3: am I gonna do with the kids. Let's put them

249
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:09,440

Speaker 3: you and Kylie you have literally saved us. She's just

261
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 3: moved to Noosa from the UK, and she said, I

262
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 3: don't know how we've gotten through the last couple of

263
