00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:08,399
Speaker 1: Today I'm the Happy Families Podcast. The thing that I

2
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 1: did that makes me Father of the Year. I'm convinced

3
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:12,799
Speaker 1: of it. Kylie, I have done something that no other

4
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:16,279
Speaker 1: parent in their right mind would do. You're hilarious and

5
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 1: I think that i'd do. Is I reckon I was

6
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 1: that right? Well, I've told you what I'm talking about.

7
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:23,919
Speaker 1: I have no idea where you're going. Hello and welcome

8
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 1: to The Happy Families Podcast. Real Parenting Solutions every Day.

9
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 1: This is Australia's most downloaded parenting podcast. We are Justin

10
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:33,240
Speaker 1: and Kylie Colson. Every Friday on the pod, we unpack

11
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 1: the stuff that worked with the stuff that didn't in

12
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,479
Speaker 1: the week that was, so that we can hopefully inspire

13
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:39,239
Speaker 1: you to be a better parent. You can learn from

14
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 1: our mistakes, or you can, I don't know, take inspiration

15
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 1: from our awesomeness when we finally do manage to get

16
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 1: it right. I'm going first. I've been in Perth for

17
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 1: the last several days running workshops and presentations, and so

18
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:53,599
Speaker 1: my old bed tomorrow is from a couple of weeks

19
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: ago when the school holidays were happening. Because I haven't

20
00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: seen the kids since Sunday. That's just the life of

21
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,319
Speaker 1: me and what I have to do sometimes. So Kylie,

22
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 1: here is my older better tomorrow. A couple of weeks ago,

23
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 1: my mum came up to the Gold Coast. We live

24
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 1: on the Sunny Coast, so it's a couple of hours south.

25
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: Mom came up to the Gold Coast from the New

26
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: South Wales Central Coast and she brought one of our kids, cousins, Emma,

27
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:23,199
Speaker 1: who's like eleven years old. So Emily our eleven year old.

28
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 1: She doesn't get to see Emma very much. And Mom said,

29
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,319
Speaker 1: I'm coming up for three or four days. Let's get

30
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 1: the kids together. Actually it was your suggestion that they

31
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: that they do it, and they did. And Mum said

32
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: to me, here's what's going to happen on Saturday. It

33
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 1: was the Saturday where the Queensland school holidays ended, and

34
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: it was halfway through the New South Wales school holidays,

35
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 1: so everyone's on holidays. Mum said, I'll meet you at

36
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 1: Warner Brothers Movie World. You can drop off Emily. I'll

37
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 1: have Emma and I'll just take the two kids in

38
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 1: the movie World and you can have a day off.

39
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: And you know what I thought to myself, Yeah, babe,

40
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: I'm doing it. I'm doing it. I need this, like

41
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 1: I really really need some time off. I've been working

42
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: extremely hard. I'm shattered. It's been school holidays. I've been

43
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: working mega hours, haven't even seen the kids. And I

44
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 1: can't think of anything that I'd rather avoid than a

45
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:17,359
Speaker 1: school holiday Warner Brothers Movie World. I just don't want

46
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 1: to be there. I don't care about the lines, a

47
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: lone of interest in the rides. No, And so my

48
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: mum said, I'll take the two kids and you can

49
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 1: have the day off. I said, okay, I'm in. What

50
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 1: I forgot was that our fifteen year old daughter was

51
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: also with my mum because she'd been staying down on

52
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: the Central Coast for some time, and so it was

53
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 1: actually mum and the two kids. But I dropped Emily

54
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: at the theme park entrance. I said hi to my

55
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 1: mum and my other daughter, our other daughter, and then

56
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 1: I got in the car and started to drive towards

57
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 1: the beach, where I was going to have a nice

58
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: relaxing day reading a book and eating in a cafe

59
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 1: and just chilling like a villain. When my conscience got

60
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 1: the better of me, I was ten minutes down the

61
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 1: road and I rang Mum and said, I can't let

62
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 1: you take the kids to the theme park and just

63
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: abrogate my parental responsibility. I think I need to be there.

64
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: I also knew that Mum wouldn't go on any of

65
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 1: the rides, and I just, I don't know. It didn't

66
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 1: feel right. Plus it was odd numbers. If Mum doesn't

67
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,920
Speaker 1: go on the rides and there's three of them, I

68
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: just my conscience got the better of me. So Kylie,

69
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 1: I turned around and I went back to Warner Brothers

70
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: Movie World. And this is a hashtag not sponsored post

71
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: because I hate the place and I'm not going to

72
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 1: say anything good about it because you know what happened.

73
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 1: I got there. By the time I got in, it

74
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: was about eleven o'clock. This is a Saturday. We lined

75
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: up for an hour to go on the Flash. Then

76
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: we lined up for two hours to go on the

77
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: Superman ride. Two hours for a forty five second ride.

78
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: Mum actually went and bought lunch for us and brought

79
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 1: it to us in line, two hours in line. Once

80
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: we finished that line, then we lined up for about

81
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: forty five minutes to go on the Joker. So I'd

82
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: been at the theme park for four hours for three rides.

83
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: And at that point I said, I'm gonna go and

84
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: sit in the car and the car park, I'm going

85
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: to read my book. I'm done. I'm over it. So

86
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's a winner or lost. I

87
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't actually know You're going really good

88
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: until the end. The takeo message, just don't go to

89
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: those theme parks. What a charge you a squillion dollars

90
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: for three rides in four hours. I'm actually fuming. My

91
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: older better tomorrow is stay away from the place. What joke.

92
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 1: But I've got to get Brandie points for actually being

93
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: the dad that hung out with the kids in line

94
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,720
Speaker 1: and kept them entertained for hour after hour after hour

95
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:36,720
Speaker 1: while we did nothing except stand there. What's your reaction

96
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 1: do you want? Do you want my old do better tomorrow?

97
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: Let's do that after break? All right, Kylie, what's your

98
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 1: older better tomorrow? Because you reckon, you can beat my

99
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,359
Speaker 1: horror story? Can you just give me a pat on

100
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: the back? Can you just it's like that's what dads

101
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 1: are supposed to do, or you're awesome or something like that.

102
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: I mean, it was brutal.

103
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 2: I actually am going to give you a pat on

104
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 2: the back because you were on the phone to me

105
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 2: when you had that realization, not because of anything I said.

106
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: You.

107
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 2: You literally came to your own realization that you you

108
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 2: wanted to be with the kids.

109
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: I was chatting with you and saying, I'm going to

110
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 1: go and read a book, We're going to go and

111
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 1: hang out the beach, and you said, enjoy the day,

112
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: like you were so supportive of me doing it, you

113
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 1: know how worn out I am. Yep, And instead I

114
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 1: was the one that reversed the story and you I

115
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 1: don't even remember what you said. I think you just said, okay,

116
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 1: if that's what you think you should do, Like, are

117
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 1: you not nuck?

118
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:38,840
Speaker 2: Are you nuts?

119
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 1: Yeah? That's exactly what I was thinking, all right, So

120
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 1: what's your old about it? Tomorrow?

121
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,039
Speaker 2: Well, if one day at the theme parks wasn't enough,

122
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 2: I may have ended up there two days later.

123
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:53,039
Speaker 1: Yeah you did, that's right. So I had to bring

124
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 1: one of the kids back on Monday, and you went

125
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: to the theme park on that I stay down for it.

126
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 1: So you're still in my older better tomorrow boy? No, no, no,

127
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:00,080
Speaker 1: not at.

128
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 2: Okay, But but I will say I actually hate rides.

129
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:08,159
Speaker 1: You're not used to go on them.

130
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 2: Not I don't mind being there. I actually physically get

131
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 2: sick going on rights.

132
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: And is that it's in my head kind of thing?

133
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 2: No, because I used to really love rides when I

134
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 2: was younger, but having had children, it has it has

135
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 2: changed my makeup.

136
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: Can I say something really bizarre right now? I reckon

137
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 1: the two hours in line for the Superman ride was

138
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:31,559
Speaker 1: almost worth it. That ride is so much fun.

139
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 2: Well, it was no better two days later because the

140
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 2: kids didn't even bother lining up. It was that long.

141
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 1: Wow. Yeah, wow.

142
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 2: So we had extra cousins this time, and again an

143
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 2: odd number. Five Your mom came and.

144
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 1: So there's five cousins plus you and mum.

145
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 2: Well there was actually six cousins, but one of them

146
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 2: was teeny tiny, so she couldn't come on the big rides.

147
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 2: So it's five big kids. And I had just kind

148
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 2: of prefaced with them the acknowledgment that there was an

149
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 2: odd number and so they were gonna have to take

150
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 2: turns in being the odd person out and not having

151
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:03,720
Speaker 2: a partner.

152
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: And it's so weird sitting next to a stranger on

153
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 1: a ride, like when I did the Joker, I was

154
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 1: sitting are some random kid, and I so badly wanted

155
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 1: to fist pump him a gun. How was was that?

156
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 1: But he was just looking the other side and wouldn't

157
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 1: make eye contact. I was like, Yeah, I'm some random weirdo.

158
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 1: You're a weirdo.

159
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 2: Anyway, So we got there, and just the whole excitement

160
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 2: of being there, the kids wanted to go straight to

161
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 2: the Wizard of Odds rides, and before I knew it,

162
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 2: I was being dragged along with the inertia of their

163
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 2: excitement that I found myself in line getting ready to

164
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 2: go on this ride. I went on it.

165
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, which one was it? Uh?

166
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 2: The Twister, the Kansas Twister.

167
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 1: Oh, that's one of the kids rides.

168
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 2: You're so funny.

169
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: One of the kids' rides that's like for eights and

170
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 1: under that sort of thing.

171
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 2: That was a big deal. They go backwards. It took

172
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 2: me half a day just to recover.

173
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 1: Oh, you're such an awesome mum, You're so funny.

174
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 2: So at the end of the day they went off.

175
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,239
Speaker 2: They had an absolute ball. I was the bag carrier

176
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 2: and kept in touch with them and had to go

177
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 2: between kids because some wanted to go on the scary

178
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 2: ride and the other ones didn't. And all of that,

179
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 2: and your mum looked after a little snowy. But at

180
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 2: the end of the day there was one more ride.

181
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 2: They decided they wanted to go back on the Kansas Twister,

182
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 2: and so they dragged me along again. Come on, Nie,

183
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 2: you can come. And I ended up sitting next to

184
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 2: our nephew Rue, and he.

185
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: Was like, and how he's thirteen.

186
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, And he was a little bit scared.

187
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 2: He was like, oh, I don't know about this. I'm

188
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 2: a little bit scared. And I said, oh. And they

189
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 2: had decided that no one was allowed to scream. Everyone

190
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 2: had to have the hands in the air and no

191
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 2: one was allowed to scream. And I just looked at

192
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 2: them and said, well, oh, scream for all of you.

193
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 2: So we got in and I screamed, and Rue spent

194
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,959
Speaker 2: the entire time laughing at me. He couldn't believe, number one,

195
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 2: that I did it, because he I was really nervous,

196
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 2: but he just loved the fact that I was so expressive.

197
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 2: And I punched him and I squeezed his leg every

198
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 2: time it got a bit too scary, and he just

199
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,839
Speaker 2: thought it was awesome. And what I love, what I love.

200
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 2: I actually loved the day. What I don't like being lines.

201
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:20,439
Speaker 2: I don't like lots of people.

202
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: Don't like the expense.

203
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 2: But I loved watching these kids just lap it up.

204
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 2: They didn't care about the way. Yeah, they didn't care

205
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 2: about the way, and the conversations they got to have

206
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,439
Speaker 2: together while they stood in line for an hour and

207
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 2: a half. Who does that an hour and a half?

208
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like I said, hashtag not sponsored. But I feel

209
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 1: like I have a new mission in life, and that's

210
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:42,679
Speaker 1: to get you on the joker.

211
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 2: I told them I would to do it, but the

212
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 2: line was so long.

213
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 1: I reckon, I reckon, I can bribe you. Yeah, I reckon,

214
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 1: I can get you on there, diamond glittering. All right,

215
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 1: take home message.

216
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 2: Do the hard things it really honestly, I don't like rides.

217
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,680
Speaker 2: They actually scare me a lot and I feel physically

218
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:06,200
Speaker 2: ill at the end. And by the time I got

219
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 2: in the car after that last ride, it was hard

220
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 2: driving home. But the joy that it brought to the

221
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 2: kids seeing me squeal and be scared and do it anyway,

222
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,959
Speaker 2: I just you can't, you can't pay, like, there's not

223
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:20,679
Speaker 2: a price for that.

224
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 1: All right, Well, because of my mum's generosity, we've got

225
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 1: an in your past, so a little bit back. Yeah,

00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,360
