WEBVTT - MINI! Laura went FULL KAREN MODE on a flight ✈

0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:00.600
<v Speaker 1>Tuesday.

0:00:00.640 --> 0:00:03.480
<v Speaker 2>Here on the pickup, Britt, Laura and Mitch. Hello, heading

0:00:03.480 --> 0:00:06.720
<v Speaker 2>to chemist ware house today. You'll get great savings every day. Now,

0:00:06.720 --> 0:00:09.040
<v Speaker 2>you've heard of snakes on a plane, but get ready

0:00:09.039 --> 0:00:12.719
<v Speaker 2>for arguably far scarier Laura, burn on a plane.

0:00:12.960 --> 0:00:13.880
<v Speaker 1>It's way worse.

0:00:13.960 --> 0:00:16.640
<v Speaker 3>No, it is not worse than a snake. I think

0:00:16.680 --> 0:00:18.599
<v Speaker 3>I'd take a snake. But look, I went on a

0:00:18.600 --> 0:00:21.840
<v Speaker 3>holiday without my kids recently. I went away for seven

0:00:21.920 --> 0:00:26.560
<v Speaker 3>days on a child free trip. She came back, Laura,

0:00:26.680 --> 0:00:28.720
<v Speaker 3>I know, no, I missed my kids so much, but

0:00:28.800 --> 0:00:30.360
<v Speaker 3>this was big for me. I've never been on an

0:00:30.400 --> 0:00:33.279
<v Speaker 3>international trip without my children. I've never been away from

0:00:33.320 --> 0:00:35.480
<v Speaker 3>my children for that long. It was my first time

0:00:35.520 --> 0:00:39.440
<v Speaker 3>getting on an international flight without my kids, and it

0:00:39.479 --> 0:00:43.160
<v Speaker 3>made me realize how much I don't like other people's kids.

0:00:43.600 --> 0:00:46.519
<v Speaker 2>Oh, and you're the first person on this show to

0:00:46.600 --> 0:00:49.360
<v Speaker 2>rab it on about how your kids get scolded on

0:00:49.440 --> 0:00:52.960
<v Speaker 2>planes and how it's not nice judge with your kids.

0:00:53.159 --> 0:00:56.279
<v Speaker 3>No, no, no, no, no, I have never said that

0:00:56.320 --> 0:00:59.960
<v Speaker 3>my kids get scolded on planes. My kids behave because

0:01:00.200 --> 0:01:01.600
<v Speaker 3>do you know why it's so hard to parent your

0:01:01.680 --> 0:01:03.800
<v Speaker 3>children on a plane, because you have to try and

0:01:03.840 --> 0:01:06.640
<v Speaker 3>control them and that's what didn't happen in this situation.

0:01:06.760 --> 0:01:09.199
<v Speaker 4>So hear me out. I'm sitting there with my sister.

0:01:09.319 --> 0:01:11.520
<v Speaker 3>It's also she's also got two kids the same age

0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:13.200
<v Speaker 3>as mine, so it's a big deal for us. We're

0:01:13.200 --> 0:01:16.080
<v Speaker 3>on this little trip together, and sitting directly behind me

0:01:16.640 --> 0:01:19.440
<v Speaker 3>is a five I'd say he was about five five.

0:01:19.280 --> 0:01:19.800
<v Speaker 4>Year old kid.

0:01:19.959 --> 0:01:21.920
<v Speaker 3>I was next to the window, then next to him

0:01:21.959 --> 0:01:23.960
<v Speaker 3>was his dad, and then next to his dad was

0:01:24.000 --> 0:01:25.160
<v Speaker 3>another kid. Right.

0:01:25.280 --> 0:01:27.360
<v Speaker 4>Dad was traveling with the kids all by himself.

0:01:27.760 --> 0:01:32.839
<v Speaker 3>Hero yeah right, yeah, bra so beautiful, so beautiful. Dad

0:01:32.880 --> 0:01:35.319
<v Speaker 3>decided that he actually didn't care what the kids did,

0:01:35.360 --> 0:01:37.560
<v Speaker 3>so long as they didn't bother him. Dad was having

0:01:37.560 --> 0:01:41.080
<v Speaker 3>a sleep while his five year old son had pulled

0:01:41.080 --> 0:01:43.960
<v Speaker 3>out some plato, had pulled down his tray table and

0:01:44.120 --> 0:01:46.600
<v Speaker 3>was mashing that plato into the tray table like it

0:01:46.640 --> 0:01:48.320
<v Speaker 3>was his job, like he was trying to roll a

0:01:48.360 --> 0:01:50.840
<v Speaker 3>pizza dough out. So all I was getting for a

0:01:50.840 --> 0:01:54.080
<v Speaker 3>good twenty minutes was bang, bang, bang bang bang.

0:01:54.320 --> 0:01:55.680
<v Speaker 1>That bank was behind the.

0:01:56.520 --> 0:01:59.040
<v Speaker 3>Tray table attached to my chair because those trays are

0:01:59.080 --> 0:02:01.520
<v Speaker 3>so flimsy, So I was trying to rest, I couldn't

0:02:01.520 --> 0:02:03.240
<v Speaker 3>because all I was getting was this bang on the back.

0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:03.480
<v Speaker 1>Of the seat.

0:02:03.520 --> 0:02:08.160
<v Speaker 3>So I turned around and I went into my full

0:02:08.200 --> 0:02:11.720
<v Speaker 3>blown Karen mode. Now I've spoken about being a Karen

0:02:11.720 --> 0:02:14.440
<v Speaker 3>on this show before. In fact, recently I talked about

0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:15.399
<v Speaker 3>how much I enjoy.

0:02:15.240 --> 0:02:15.880
<v Speaker 4>Being a Karen.

0:02:16.080 --> 0:02:16.160
<v Speaker 3>No.

0:02:16.360 --> 0:02:17.960
<v Speaker 4>I think if there is a Karen in this room,

0:02:17.960 --> 0:02:18.240
<v Speaker 4>it's me.

0:02:18.480 --> 0:02:19.320
<v Speaker 1>I love a letter.

0:02:19.400 --> 0:02:20.360
<v Speaker 4>I love complaining.

0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:22.240
<v Speaker 3>I can't tell you the amount of times where people

0:02:22.240 --> 0:02:24.440
<v Speaker 3>in our street are having parties and I'll say to

0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:26.840
<v Speaker 3>my husband Matt, and I'll go, is it too early

0:02:26.919 --> 0:02:29.560
<v Speaker 3>to call the police yet? It was like seven pm,

0:02:31.560 --> 0:02:33.120
<v Speaker 3>but the son still up. No, So I didn't call

0:02:33.160 --> 0:02:35.040
<v Speaker 3>the police in this incident. I wasn't like, oh, look,

0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:39.160
<v Speaker 3>is there any flight? What are they called the plane police?

0:02:39.680 --> 0:02:40.080
<v Speaker 4>Marshall?

0:02:41.440 --> 0:02:42.280
<v Speaker 1>What I did.

0:02:42.720 --> 0:02:45.080
<v Speaker 3>What I did is I turned around and the dad

0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:48.320
<v Speaker 3>was sleeping, So I put my arm through the little

0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:50.880
<v Speaker 3>hole and I tapped him on the knee and I said,

0:02:51.000 --> 0:02:54.560
<v Speaker 3>a sleeping father, excuse me, could you please ask your

0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:56.720
<v Speaker 3>son to stop banging my seat? And you could tell

0:02:56.760 --> 0:02:58.520
<v Speaker 3>he was a bit startled, and he was like, oh, oh,

0:02:58.720 --> 0:03:00.760
<v Speaker 3>can you stop stop banging the seat? And then he

0:03:00.800 --> 0:03:04.079
<v Speaker 3>goes back to sleep. Five minutes later, bang bang, but

0:03:04.280 --> 0:03:06.920
<v Speaker 3>it was horrible, and like, I am not leaving my

0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:08.800
<v Speaker 3>kids at home to deal with somebody else's kids on

0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:09.320
<v Speaker 3>this plane.

0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:11.720
<v Speaker 4>So I turned back around and I was like, excuse.

0:03:11.320 --> 0:03:15.880
<v Speaker 3>Me again, wake come yeah, could you maybe just maybe

0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:17.440
<v Speaker 3>the trade table's a bad idea for the Plato?

0:03:17.560 --> 0:03:19.320
<v Speaker 4>Like could you please? Could you please?

0:03:19.600 --> 0:03:21.600
<v Speaker 3>Anyway, the dad took it and he was like once again.

0:03:21.680 --> 0:03:23.919
<v Speaker 3>He was like I stop, and then okay, I'm at

0:03:23.919 --> 0:03:26.959
<v Speaker 3>this point, come on, like, ask your kid to actually stop.

0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:29.120
<v Speaker 3>I agree, and he was not. He was just the

0:03:29.200 --> 0:03:31.440
<v Speaker 3>dad did not care because the kid was occupied, so

0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:33.079
<v Speaker 3>he didn't have to deal it with his own child

0:03:33.120 --> 0:03:36.040
<v Speaker 3>being annoying. I'm a single, brave, beautiful father on a

0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:38.720
<v Speaker 3>plane by himself, doting dad. He's a doting dad anyway.

0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:41.000
<v Speaker 3>So the dad once again checked out, and then it continued,

0:03:41.040 --> 0:03:43.520
<v Speaker 3>and it continued for a good twenty five minutes, and

0:03:43.560 --> 0:03:45.360
<v Speaker 3>I was like, I actually can't wear an hour and

0:03:45.400 --> 0:03:47.600
<v Speaker 3>a half into this six hour flight and I need

0:03:47.600 --> 0:03:49.080
<v Speaker 3>this to stop. And I turned around to the child

0:03:49.120 --> 0:03:52.200
<v Speaker 3>and I was like, excuse me, you need to stop

0:03:52.240 --> 0:03:54.000
<v Speaker 3>banging my seat right now.

0:03:54.160 --> 0:03:55.880
<v Speaker 1>I spoke to the child directly.

0:03:56.240 --> 0:03:58.640
<v Speaker 4>You dis planned, disciplined.

0:03:58.800 --> 0:03:59.960
<v Speaker 1>I put on your child.

0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:03.360
<v Speaker 4>I put on my ten out of ten mum voice,

0:04:03.440 --> 0:04:04.080
<v Speaker 4>and the little.

0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:07.000
<v Speaker 3>Kid went like this okay, and he just put the

0:04:07.000 --> 0:04:10.240
<v Speaker 3>trade table away, not one single bang from there on in.

0:04:10.720 --> 0:04:11.000
<v Speaker 1>I won.

0:04:11.120 --> 0:04:13.360
<v Speaker 4>My god, I won the war against the five year old.

0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:16.640
<v Speaker 2>And we've spoken to the dad. The child a non verbal,

0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:18.200
<v Speaker 2>and the holiday has been ruined.

0:04:19.160 --> 0:04:20.360
<v Speaker 4>The kid was fine.

0:04:21.279 --> 0:04:24.080
<v Speaker 3>I'm sorry, but like, there comes a point where it's

0:04:24.160 --> 0:04:26.000
<v Speaker 3>okay to step in and pair it someone else's child.

0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:29.760
<v Speaker 4>There is such a one an hour, one hour into

0:04:29.760 --> 0:04:32.000
<v Speaker 4>a flight. If they can't stop it, then someone else care.

0:04:32.120 --> 0:04:34.440
<v Speaker 1>You were the most thirty seven year old I've ever known.

0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:37.760
<v Speaker 4>You as in this moment, so young.

0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:41.040
<v Speaker 1>You're so thirty. You can't talk, Britt, you cannot talk

0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:41.880
<v Speaker 1>to another child.

0:04:41.640 --> 0:04:43.560
<v Speaker 4>On a plane as a thirty six year old. You're

0:04:43.680 --> 0:04:47.919
<v Speaker 4>very thirty seven right now. I cannot relate to you

0:04:48.000 --> 0:04:49.480
<v Speaker 4>right now, Laura, I'm.

0:04:49.080 --> 0:04:49.799
<v Speaker 1>In Mitch's generation.

0:04:50.360 --> 0:04:52.040
<v Speaker 4>Sorry about that. Guys. Look, I think it's fine.

0:04:52.279 --> 0:04:55.360
<v Speaker 1>Well, the kids joining us on the phone now, he's

0:04:55.400 --> 0:04:57.840
<v Speaker 1>not speaking. He's traumatized, all right.

0:04:57.880 --> 0:04:59.800
<v Speaker 2>Next on the show, listen, how would you feel right

0:04:59.839 --> 0:05:03.200
<v Speaker 2>if if your partner you got a new partner? However,

0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:06.040
<v Speaker 2>they were still full time care for their ex. I

0:05:06.080 --> 0:05:07.760
<v Speaker 2>was still living and looking after their ex.

0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:11.200
<v Speaker 4>Why are they taking care of them?

0:05:11.200 --> 0:05:12.800
<v Speaker 1>Well, I'll tell you why. I'll tell you all about

0:05:12.800 --> 0:05:13.800
