00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:02,040
Speaker 1: Jonesy and Amanda in the morning.

2
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:07,720
Speaker 2: Sam, Today, your son Liam is turning nineteen nineteen.

3
00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:10,959
Speaker 3: So Jack had his birthday turned seventeen on Monday. Liam.

4
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:14,120
Speaker 3: So what you were doing around this time all those

5
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:19,079
Speaker 3: years ago in an IVF clinic. But the thing is,

6
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:22,279
Speaker 3: I've been thinking about this with Liam turning nineteen. Remember

7
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:25,640
Speaker 3: last year when Liam turned eighteen and towards the end

8
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 3: of the year where his school school life was whopping up,

9
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:33,279
Speaker 3: and it was the beginnings of the endings. Yeah, well,

10
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:36,600
Speaker 3: you know, the heading off to UNI, leaving home. I

11
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 3: found it very A wave of e motion came over

12
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 3: me when he turned eighteen that I don't feel at nineteen.

13
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 3: I feel like I get it now. I get that

14
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 3: he's become a man and I'm and it's easier to

15
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:51,560
Speaker 3: deal with now at nineteen than I found at eighteen.

16
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:53,199
Speaker 2: I remember, Yeah, towards the end of the last year,

17
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 2: you read that in me a Freeman article.

18
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 1: Remember that so.

19
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 3: Hard, and you went, she summed up perfectly how it

20
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 3: felt to have a son growing up.

21
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 2: You made me go the blood.

22
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 3: Being the mother of a son is like someone breaking

23
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 3: up with you very slowly. Because she had recently seen

24
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,399
Speaker 3: a movie called otherhood and that's where those movies are from.

25
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:16,839
Speaker 3: And she said the movie is supposed to be about

26
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:18,479
Speaker 3: boys growing up, moving out of home, and it's supposed

27
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 3: to be a comedy, but she said it examines what

28
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 3: it means to be a mother of a son who's

29
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,400
Speaker 3: no longer a boy, no longer your boy, but a man.

30
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 3: And when she spoke about it recently, Mia out loud,

31
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 3: look at.

32
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:34,360

33
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: two boys. She said that there were audible gasps of

34
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: recognition and yelps of pain in the room when she

35
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 1: spoke about this, and she said that if our boys

36
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,919
Speaker 1: will grow up and grow away and break up with us.

37
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,279
Speaker 2: And if they do, oh god, this is a heart.

38
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 2: If they do, we've done our job correctly, and we have.

39
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 2: That's what you want your kids to be, to be,

40
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 2: to grow up and leave you, That's what our job is.

Speaker 3: He is a great young man. I'm just crying hearing
