1
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:05,560
Speaker 1: It's the Happy Families podcast.

2
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:10,120
Speaker 2: It's the podcast for the time poor parent who just answers.

3
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:13,080
Speaker 3: Now, Okay, today a very serious day on that well

4
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 3: serious is the wrong word. My favorite episode. This has

5
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:19,240
Speaker 3: become literally my favorite episode on the Happy Families podcast.

6
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 3: It's where Kylie and I have a look at this

7
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 3: week in parenting. That's right, we're going to go deep

8
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:31,160
Speaker 3: on what's been in the news in parenting of the

9
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 3: last week, two weeks.

10
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 4: I don't think say we're growing deep.

11
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:37,159
Speaker 3: Okay, well, we're going to be superficial and flimsy and

12
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 3: we're going to talk about what's in the news about

13
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:41,480
Speaker 3: parenting because, let's face it, news. I've had a realization

14
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 3: news is actually entertainment. That's the whole purpose of news.

15
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:48,239
Speaker 3: Really well done news is obviously not that. But when

16
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:50,519
Speaker 3: you look at news websites, most of them are just

17
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:53,199
Speaker 3: coming up with a whole lot of entertainment rubbish. Like

18
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 3: they're not like quality news at all. Anyway, i'd like

19
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 3: ress that's my little rant for the morning. Let's stay

20
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 3: focused today, Kylie. Four stories. Four stories. I have no

21
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 3: idea at all. What are they going to show up in?

22
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 3: You get to play the game. What is story number one.

23
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,680
Speaker 4: Our first story this week is a family favorite Blue.

24
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 3: Yes, what's you're looking at?

25
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 4: It's fame?

26
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 3: What's sign?

27
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 5: Of course?

28
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 4: I know where you are? Frisky. ABC over the weekend

29
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:27,680
Speaker 4: released their very first twenty eight minute episode.

30
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,759
Speaker 3: Felt like a full feature film compared to the seven

31
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,400
Speaker 3: minute episodes. If you haven't caught the Bluey Bug, I

32
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 3: don't know what to say to you. I don't know

33
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 3: how I can help you.

34
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 4: Just last year, I went on an overseas holiday to

35
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 4: America and I was sitting with friends and their family

36
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 4: looked at me and they said, is your family as

37
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 4: obsessed about Bluey as we are. They've got kids literally

38
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 4: aged from about eight through to twenty three, and they

39
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 4: all love Blue.

40
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 3: I heard this really funny thing last week on the

41
00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 3: Hamishanity podcast, one of my favorite podcasts are very funny. Guy.

42
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 3: They've got this twenty year old guy who's jumped on

43
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 3: the pod. He's got this secret skill or a special skill,

44
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 3: I can't remember what they call it. And they've said

45
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 3: to him, so what is it that we're going to

46
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,519
Speaker 3: test you on? And he's twenty years old. He's memorized

47
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 3: every Blue episode and so he can hear a five

48
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 3: second clip and know the name of the episode that

49
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 3: it's from. Joe Brum, the creator of Blue, was on

50
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 3: there and he couldn't believe this kid. And Hami Shenandi said,

51
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 3: how I mean, you're twenty years old Blue, You're not

52
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 3: exactly the demographic, the target demo. And this guy said,

53
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 3: he was at school his week on the Gold Coast.

54
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 3: All his friends were getting drunk and he decided to

55
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 3: watch Blue because he didn't want to do what his

56
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,679
Speaker 3: friends were doing. And he's watched it again and again

57
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 3: he fell in love with Blue. I thought, how wholesome,

58
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,959
Speaker 3: What a great story. Anyway, we need to talk about

59
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 3: Blue on the weekend. Spoiler alert, there will be spoilers

60
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 3: in this three minute conversation. But when we talk about

61
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 3: parenting news, this is such sublime content for our kids

62
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,799
Speaker 3: to watch. There's a reason that it's the number one

63
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 3: TV show on the planet. The show is called The Sign.

64
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 3: You're almost just thinking about it. You cried more in

65
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 3: bluey than I've seen you cry in anything.

66
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 4: You're giving away all my secret.

67
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 3: What was it that made you cry the most?

68
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 4: So The Sign is all about a for sale sign

69
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 4: and the emotions associated with that. Now you're getting me

70
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 4: or choked up, and having gone through a number of

71
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 4: moves with our children, was the guilt.

72
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 3: Was the guilt there for you?

73
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 4: It wasn't so much the guilt, it was just reliving

74
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:29,519
Speaker 4: some of those experiences as they walk through their empty house,

75
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 4: oh for the last time. I remember our last home

76
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 4: and being really ready to leave it in some ways,

77
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 4: but that last walkthrough was heartbreaking because, as everyone would know,

78
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 4: when you live in a home, there is so much

79
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 4: attached to that home and to that space. It might

80
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 4: be the first place you brought your children home to

81
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 4: after they were born, it might be where Grandma spent

82
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 4: her last few hours. Like, there's just there's so many

83
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 4: different experiences that you have. You watch your child walk

84
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 4: for the first time, it's just a really personal, intimate space.

85
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 4: And when you know that it's the last time you're

86
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 4: going to see it in that light, or ever walk

87
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 4: through those doors again, it really just pulls at the heartstrings.

88
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 3: And the creators, the scriptwriters, the voice actors, they do

89
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 3: such a beautiful job of highlighting. I mean, you've got

90
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 3: Chili who's not open to talking about the move right

91
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 3: you've got, but.

92
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 4: She's also it's because she doesn't want to add her

93
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 4: anxiety and her concern to her kids, So she's trying

94
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 4: to put on a big brave face about this is

95
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 4: this is going to be an adventure. Kids.

96
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,359
Speaker 3: You've got Bandit, who's single minded about I've got a

97
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 3: great opportunity and we need to go and do this, and.

98
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 4: I want to give my kids a better future. I

99
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 4: want them to have what I didn't have.

100
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 3: Yeah. And then we've got little Bingo, Yeah, who's just

101
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 3: excited about the move because it doesn't make sense until

102
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 3: suddenly it does. We sold the house, remember, so Bingo,

103
00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 3: you know that when you sell your house, you have

104
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 3: to move out of it, right what?

105
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 4: And that really pulled at my past strings because we

106
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 4: have watched that with our kids that was so excited

107
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 4: about one of our moves, so excited until it happened,

108
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,719
Speaker 4: and then all of the realities of leaving behind their

109
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,600
Speaker 4: home and their neighbors and their best friends at school

110
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 4: and not going to the same school, and all that

111
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,679
Speaker 4: emotion that hits after the fact.

112
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 3: And then there's that wonderful Chinese proverb or parable about

113
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 3: the farmer that I'm not going to go into now.

114
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 3: It's been doing the rounds on social media for a

115
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 3: number of years, but they've just done it so well,

116
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 3: so well, such great teaching about resilience and whether things

117
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 3: are terrible or whether they're not terrible. I'm not going

118
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 3: to do the final spoiler about what happens at the end.

119
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 3: I'm just going to say it really hit me in

120
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 3: terms of our great regrets, happy that where where we are,

121
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,600
Speaker 3: glad that we've done what we've done, but there's been

122
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,919
Speaker 3: real costs associated with it, And seeing the way the

123
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 3: show wrapped up, I just thought, Oh, I wonder what

124
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 3: would have happened if story number.

125
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 4: Two, Guy Sebastian reveals a hack for getting toddlers to

126
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 4: stop having tantrums.

127
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 3: Okay, this showed up just recently on Brisbane radio station

128
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 3: and was replayed on the Daily Mail. Have you got

129
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,679
Speaker 3: any special newborn skills that you remember?

130
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 5: It was more centered around like like weird little hums

131
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:25,280
Speaker 5: or noises that my contribution during that time was like

132
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:27,719
Speaker 5: I felt like I had this real knack to make

133
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 5: them peaceful, like this real knack to get them into

134
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 5: a calm space when they'd be blowing up, Like when

135
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:35,840
Speaker 5: they blow up, I would mimic them.

136
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 2: So even at like two years old or one and a

137
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 2: half years old. I think when a kid realizes how

138
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 2: stupid they sound when they're blowing up. It's weirdly worked

139
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,599
Speaker 2: with my kids, like they'd be screaming and I would

140
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 2: just do the same thing Adam, like I just mentionally go.

141
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 3: And they It's almost like it.

142
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 5: Was confronting for them so much that they'd look at

143
00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 5: me and just go. Is that what I sell on.

144
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 3: Y reactions from I think it was ninety seven point

145
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 3: three in Brisbane and Guy Sebastian sharing his parenting hacks.

146
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 4: I may have done that once or twice really in

147
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 4: our house.

148
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 3: So you haven't read my books either. I had a

149
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 3: Guy Sebastian story for you. I bumped into Guy Sebastian

150
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 3: in Melbourne Airport in the Virgin Lounge one day as

151
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 3: I was flying home from speaking about parenting, got a photo.

152
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 3: Said it was for the kids, but really it was

153
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 3: just for me.

154
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 4: He recognized you.

155
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 3: He didn't have a clue who I was. I'm not

156
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 3: that big of a deal obviously, but Guy Sebastian. I

157
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 3: was so enamored by the opportunity to meet him that

158
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 3: I thought I'm going to send him some books. I

159
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 3: send him a couple of parenting books. Clearly didn't read them.

160
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 3: He didn't read them. I don't say anything about that

161
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 3: in my parenting books. I'm really disappointed, guy Sebastian. But Ball,

162
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 3: you got that one wrong.

163
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 4: What would you say we should do instead?

164
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 3: That's such an important question, and I'm not going to

165
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 3: answer it today because today is this week in parenting.

166
00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 3: We're not going to be serious about Actually, you know

167
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 3: what the best thing to do when your kids are

168
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 3: like that is see if they want to hard or

169
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 3: see if they want some space. Literally ask them if

170
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 3: they yell at you, give them some space. Well I

171
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 3: would do that. After I've give mimicked them and mocked them,

172
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 3: they're gone.

173
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 4: It's not so much that sometimes I felt like the

174
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 4: kids are just so in their own headspace that some

175
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 4: external noise it shifted their thinking.

176
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 3: For a second bit of mockery, let me ask you this.

177
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 3: If you're having a bad time, you're having a bit

178
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 3: of a meltdown, and you do something like just go ah,

179
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 3: if I look at you and with a big smile

180
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 3: on my face, go ah, are you gonna look at

181
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 3: me and say, oh, you're so funny? Hilarious, hilarious, I

182
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 3: don't think it's going to be good for our relationship.

183
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 3: We can do better, guys, Sebastian. That's all this week

184
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 3: in Parenting Story number three.

185
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 4: Just a quick content warning on this one. This is

186
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,680
Speaker 4: actually quite heavy. If you've got small children, you might

187
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 4: just want to pause for a minute. US FBI have

188
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 4: issued a warning worldwide about some violent online groups that

189
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:11,079
Speaker 4: are targeting kids between eight and seventeen, exploiting them to

190
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 4: produce child sexual abuse videos, self harm, and even suicide videos.

191
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 1: The FBI calls it financial sextortion. Minors coerced into sending

192
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 1: compromising images of themselves, some by networks of criminals overseas

193
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 1: operating off scripts.

194
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 3: Every now and again we talk about how there's this

195
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 3: sextortion thing happening. We had Julian mcgrant, the e Safety

196
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 3: Commissioner for Australia, talking with us on the podcast just

197
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 3: recently about how much this is evolving and how much

198
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 3: it's happening. But the FBI in America is now warning

199
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 3: that violent online groups are operating on the most popular

200
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 3: platforms social media sites, my bile apps and if you

201
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,839
Speaker 3: want to become part of the group, essentially they say

202
00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 3: you need to go out and live stream or up

203
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 3: load videos depicting usually kids, harming animals or committing self harm,

204
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 3: or in the worst scenarios, taking their lives or acting

205
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 3: violently towards other people. These groups exist, they do it

206
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:22,319
Speaker 3: to gain notoriety and obtain high levels of status. They

207
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 3: are genuinely out there trying to do the wrong thing,

208
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 3: and then once the victims have been filmed and uploaded.

209
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 3: The FBI is also saying that these groups will then

210
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 3: use extortion and blackmail tactics like threatening to swat or

211
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 3: docks the victims if they don't comply with further requests,

212
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,599
Speaker 3: so they continue to manipulate them and harm them. Just

213
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 3: for those who are not familiar with the terms, to

214
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 3: s what somebody literally means to make a prank call

215
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 3: to police or emergency services in an attempt to bring

216
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 3: about the dispatch of armed police officers, such as a

217
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 3: SWAT team to a particular address. And doxing is the

218
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 3: action of obtaining and publishing personally identifiable information on the

219
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 3: Internet with malicious intent so that people will go around

220
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 3: to your house and do horrible things, or say horrible things,

221
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:14,680
Speaker 3: or ski you or that kind of thing. It's really,

222
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 3: really serious stuff, and I wanted to bring it into

223
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:18,679
Speaker 3: this Week in Parenting, even though we usually have a

224
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 3: lot of fun with this particular segment, purely because it

225
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 3: is in the news. It is happening. And even though

226
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 3: people keep on saying it's never going to happen to

227
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 3: my family, this stuff is happening. It's happening all over

228
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 3: the place all the time. And I'm sorry, but we

229
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 3: need to really monitor what's going on with our kids

230
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 3: in their social media use because they can be at risk.

231
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 3: Further to that, we need to monitor who they're spending

232
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 3: time with because maybe they're spending time with somebody who's

233
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 3: trying to get into one of these groups, and how

234
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 3: devastating would that be. So that's our heavy news story

235
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,319
Speaker 3: for this week in Parenting. Let's do our final one number.

236
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 4: Four a nice light buzz Feed.

237
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 3: I'm glad we're going light after where we've just been.

238
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 4: But BuzzFeed did ch recently and found twenty one celebrity

239
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 4: rules that might make no sense at all or might

240
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 4: make some sense.

241
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, So in the parenting context, let me run these

242
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 3: ones by you. Some of these rules are fantastic, and

243
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 3: some of them make celebrities look even more out of

244
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,079
Speaker 3: touch than they already seemed to be. I'm going to

245
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 3: start with one of my absolute favorites. I'm just going

246
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 3: to zoom to the bottom of this twenty one parenting

247
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 3: sort of idea list. This one comes from the one

248
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 3: and only Gwyneth Paltrow. Gwyneth Paltrow's kids were not allowed

249
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:33,680
Speaker 3: to watch TV in English. In twenty twelve. The actor

250
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:35,959
Speaker 3: told in Style that she only let her children watch

251
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:39,079
Speaker 3: TV if the shows were in Spanish or French. When

252
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 3: I'm in France, I go to Boulevard Bonmachow and buy

253
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,679
Speaker 3: all their cartoons. She said, what do you think, good one?

254
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 3: Do you like that? Do you think that if the

255
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 3: kid's going to watch TV, we should make sure that

256
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 3: they're watching it in Spanish?

257
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 5: El gringo, pushy problemente, problematic growth.

258
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 4: That's that's one way of doing language lessons by immersions.

259
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 3: Three words out of touch. Here's another one. Kurston Bell. Sorry,

260
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 3: not Kurston Kristen Bell. It says Kristen Bell. I thought

261
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 3: I always thought it was Kurston Bell. That's how into

262
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:09,559
Speaker 3: celebrities I am. Kristen Bell and her husband Dax Shepherd

263
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 3: with one of the most popular podcasts on the planet,

264
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 3: and of course, Kristen Bell from The Good Place. In

265
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 3: a twenty twenty interview with self, Kristin said it's very

266
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 3: important that her daughters share a bedroom. She says, I

267
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 3: think their lives will be easier than most other people

268
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 3: on the planet and develop a good character. It's important

269
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 3: to always be going through something. I like the fact

270
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 3: that they will have to figure out how to share

271
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 3: a bedroom, figure out how to share a closet, figure

272
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,440
Speaker 3: out how to share their space. If that's the worst

273
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:37,079
Speaker 3: thing about your life, that you have to share a

274
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 3: bedroom with your sister, you're going to be okay. I'm

275
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 3: hearing that, Kylie, And I'm thinking now that our third

276
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 3: daughter has moved out and we've got three kids at home,

277
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 3: they've each got their own bedroom. Have we done the

278
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 3: wrong thing? Kristen Bell's making me feel insecure about our

279
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 3: parenting choices.

280
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 4: Having gone through the process a number of times, we've

281
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 4: shared rooms, we've had separate rooms, we've shared rooms, and

282
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 4: we've gone back and forth. There is something profound that

283
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 4: takes place when our children have to learn how to

284
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 4: navigate sharing their personal space.

285
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 3: You haven't answered my question, though, Should we stick them

286
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:10,679
Speaker 3: back into a room and have them share.

287
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:12,679
Speaker 4: No, I'm fine for them to have a little time.

288
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 3: I'm really enjoying the fact that there's no more fights. Okay,

289
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:17,839
Speaker 3: I'm just going to do two more because we need

290
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 3: to wrap this up and get our time. The Kardashians

291
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 3: always people who are really in touch with the common man,

292
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 3: really really know what's going on with people, generally. Courtney

293
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 3: Kardashians kids aren't allowed to use the MICROWAVEA is it

294
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 3: going to nuke their brain? Yeah, that kind of thing. Yep,

295
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 3: Cardi B and Offsets. Kids aren't allowed to go to sleepovers.

296
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 3: We had a big conversation on the podcast just recently

297
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 3: about that one and my other favorite one, the other

298
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 3: one that stood out heaps when I was having a

299
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 3: look at this one comes from Jennifer Lopez. Jalo's kids

300
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 3: are only allowed to use electronics on Sundays.

301
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 4: What do you mean by electronics? You mean computer screens?

302
00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 4: Are you talking about hair dryers?

303
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:00,080
Speaker 5: Oh?

304
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 3: No, they're allowed to use electricity. They're allowed to use electricity.

305
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 3: We're talking about electronics, so screens. Basically, here's what she said.

306
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 3: In twenty fifteen, Jalo told E News about Sunday Funday.

307
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 3: In her house, it starts with the late breakfast. We

308
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 3: sleep in, she said, even the kids sleep in. I mean,

309
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 3: Jalo sounds like she's a party animal, doesn't she. And

310
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 3: Sunday Funday they work towards that because they don't get

311
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 3: to use their iPads during the week or play video

312
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 3: games or anything because at school time and they have

313
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 3: to be good in school, and then they get Sunday

314
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 3: Fun Day. It's something I made up so they could

315
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 3: work towards it and behave I'm thinking exactly the opposite

316
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 3: Sunday Fun Day, like, let's get out and do something,

317
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 3: not Sunday Funday. Oh cool, Let's sit in the living

318
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 3: room and steir at our iPads. Anyway, that's Jlo's parenting.

319
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 3: I wonder if she actually does that. I wonder how

320
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 3: well she's kept to it, or if she did it

321
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 3: one week and went, yeah, that worked really well, and

322
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 3: I'm going to tell the whole world about it. I

323
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 3: just thought that was fascinating. A couple of other ones

324
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 3: that showed up that I really loved Matthew McConaughey and

325
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 3: Camilla Alva's kids have to speak Portuguese. Drew Barrymore's kids

326
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 3: aren't allowed to act. And last but not least, Chrissy

327
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 3: Tea and John Legend don't post things on social media

328
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 3: that their kids will find embarrassing when they grow up.

329
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 3: I presume they're talking about the kids, because I've seen

330
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 3: what Chrissy Teagan posts on her Instagram, and I think

331
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 3: her kids would find it embarrassing when they grow up.

332
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 3: I'm just putting them out there, Kylie. Thank you so
