Speaker 3: if you're single, if you think she's amazing, DM her,
Speaker 3: get into her Instagram or DM me. And now I
Speaker 3: have been fielding all of Michelle Bridge's dating requests.
Speaker 5: Fine, we went off.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we've had so many. But there was so much
Speaker 3: more of that conversation that you guys didn't see. So
Speaker 3: we have an exclusive chat that happened between Britt and
Speaker 3: Michelle and this is it were you guys, especially here
Speaker 3: on the pickup?
Speaker 4: How old were you when you started perimedipors.
Speaker 6: I want to say fifty, but it just seems too late.
Speaker 6: It was about then that I started getting really sporadic periods.
Speaker 3: So you're in your day to day life, do you
Speaker 3: notice the symptoms that something in your body's changing, or like,
Speaker 3: what did you think was happening?
Speaker 4: What did you feel?
Speaker 6: Well, that was the first sign of it was my
Speaker 6: periods were late, and they were then they weren't, then
Speaker 6: they were. They were actually never light, they were very heavy,
Speaker 6: because I've always had light periods.
Speaker 4: That always your periods always been.
Speaker 6: Really light and pretty regular. But then I started getting
Speaker 6: really hot in bed and I was like, oh my god,
Speaker 6: I couldn't regulate my temperature. And then I was awake
Speaker 6: a lot at night because of that. Then I was
Speaker 6: just awake a lot at night because of no other
Speaker 6: reason other than just waking up and couldn't get back
Speaker 6: to sleep. And I just really didn't think about menopause
Speaker 6: that much because it just wasn't really top of mind.
Speaker 6: And so I went to my doctor about it instead
Speaker 6: of said, oh, you know, i'm not feeling myself. I'm
Speaker 6: not feeling motivated, which is really unlike me. And then
Speaker 6: so she prescribed me any depressants.
Speaker 3: Wow, So she didn't even click that it could be
Speaker 3: perimenopause either.
Speaker 6: We didn't discuss it.
Speaker 3: Straight to antidepressants, which I didn't date it didn't take, so.
Speaker 6: Came back to Sydney, and I thought, right, I'm going
Speaker 6: to get on top of all of this. So I
Speaker 6: went to a doctor here in Sydney. We went through
Speaker 6: the whole process again and I was like, Okay, this
Speaker 6: is all starting to fall into place.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 6: Also better to I imagine, it's better to actually just
Speaker 6: have an answer so you.
Speaker 4: Can deal with it rather than what's going on.
Speaker 6: Well, that's why it's so important to get with a specialist,
Speaker 6: a GP but who specializes in menopause, so that you
Speaker 6: know they've got the information that they can sider go. Yes, Well,
Speaker 6: this directly ticks that box, and directly ticks that box.
Speaker 6: It's very different for every woman, Like every woman is
Speaker 6: going to have a different symptom and a different severity
Speaker 6: of that symptom.
Speaker 5: Wouldn't it be awesome if Britt found Michelle Bridges love.
Speaker 3: Oh, that'd be so beautiful. Also Bachelor, real full circle
Speaker 3: story that, let's get Michelle Bridges.
Speaker 4: On the Bachelor.
Speaker 3: Oh, we got the Bachelorette and we can talk about
Speaker 3: perimenopause on there. You know, people need people need a
Speaker 3: perimenopause A woman on the Bachelor.
Speaker 5: I'm sick of.
Speaker 3: Seeing twenty hot year olds dating twenty hot year olds
Speaker 3: take a twenty hot twenty year olds say, I'm thinking
Speaker 3: about it. I want to see someone who's like middle age,
Speaker 3: she's already been married once.
Speaker 5: And I could be the bachelor. Shut up the gay Oh.
Speaker 4: The gay bachelor.
Speaker 2: Yeah we did, and I could have been the Bachelor
Speaker 2: before the forty kilo eight loss, I could have been
Speaker 2: what a missed.
Speaker 5: I'll put it back on. I'll do anything.
Speaker 3: Yourself the glor Alright, coming up, I've had I've had
Speaker 3: a really bad mum fail and I'm questioning whether I'm
Speaker 3: a good parent or you.
Speaker 2: Come on the show and you say these and oftentimes
Speaker 2: we get calls from the mum's listening, going, Laura, we've
Speaker 2: all been there, so don't.
Speaker 5: Don't talk down to yourself. You're a brilliant mum.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I don't know if my kids agree. I don't know
Speaker 3: if my kids educators agree. Put it that way, all right,
Speaker 3: we'll find that next here at the pickup guys, I
Speaker 3: never pretend like I have it down pat you know,
Speaker 3: like the parenting thing, the juggling work, it's a lot.
Speaker 3: And I think for anyone out there who is a
Speaker 3: working mum, you can sympathize that sometimes it's really really hard.
Speaker 5: So it's all real, is it? The chaos is real.
Speaker 4: It's it's beyond chaos.
Speaker 3: And there's a whole adage of like, you can have
Speaker 3: it all, but you can't have it all at this
Speaker 3: same time. And what they mean by that is any
Speaker 3: sort of organization or order to your life, because I
Speaker 3: genuinely feel like I run between my chaotic work schedule
Speaker 3: and then having two little girls, which is just chaos
Speaker 3: at home twenty four to seven.
Speaker 2: Or you do have a very busy life, you've also
Speaker 2: got a beautiful husband, which doesn't really help with the schedule.
Speaker 5: It already is handsome.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna find time for him as well.
Speaker 3: Okay, but some days you have days where you feel
Speaker 3: like you're winning, and then you have some days where
Speaker 3: you feel like you'll lose what's happened to and you've
Speaker 3: got to pick your battles along the way. And so
Speaker 3: this morning I woke up both her like, both of
Speaker 3: my girls.
Speaker 4: Are in a mood.
Speaker 3: Neither of them had slept properly, and so getting them
Speaker 3: out of bed was a pain in the ass.
Speaker 4: Getting Pete.
Speaker 3: For about two weeks now, every couple of days we
Speaker 3: get a chance to wash it. It's a Christmas T
Speaker 3: shirt part of Lola. It's a Christmas T shirt that's
Speaker 3: part of her pajamas, right, and it's trash. But you
Speaker 3: know what, They're going to daycare, So I don't care
Speaker 3: if they wear trash to daycare.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So on one hand, I've got Lola, hair's not brushed,
Speaker 3: she's wearing her pajama top and a pair of pants
Speaker 3: that she'd chosen. None of it goes. She looks like trash. Yeah,
Speaker 3: crawled out of the gutter. Then I have Marley May.
Speaker 3: At least she's let me brush her hair. But the
Speaker 3: outfit is something else. She's dressed herself and it's wild
Speaker 3: and it's fabulous.
Speaker 4: But you know what you do, you boo. I don't care.
Speaker 4: So I get them out the door.
Speaker 3: We're rushing. They've just had breakfast. One of them still
Speaker 3: got crapple of their face. I get him in the car.
Speaker 3: I get them to daycare and I was so rush
Speaker 3: and their teacher was trying to chat to me, and
Speaker 3: I was like, yeah, yeah, anyway, the kids. You literally
Speaker 3: threw my children at them and I run out the
Speaker 3: door and anyway, I get to work. About forty minutes
Speaker 3: after dropping them off, and I get a phone call
Speaker 3: and it's from their educator and they were like, sorry, Laura,
Speaker 3: we were just trying to stop you because I'm not
Speaker 3: sure if you realized. We thought maybe you'd pack them
Speaker 3: in their bags. But today's school photo day. So my
Speaker 3: children went to daycare looking as though they had just
Speaker 3: woken up, and it's the cute school photos days. And
Speaker 3: so then do you know what I had to do.
Speaker 3: I'm not proud of it. I'm at work, so I
Speaker 3: can't go home and fix them or sort them out. No,
Speaker 3: So I had to uber some clothes to daycare. I
Speaker 3: to uber two dresses to daycare for the kids, and
Speaker 3: I had to ask their teacher to brush their hair
Speaker 3: and do a plaid. And it's in these moments where
Speaker 3: you're like, you do win some and you do lose some,
Speaker 3: and right now I'm losing some loss. I feel also,
Speaker 3: how boogie is it though that my kids are like
Speaker 3: my dress just arrived in an uber.
Speaker 2: No, that's that was what I was about to say.
Speaker 2: I actually think your kids are gonna get clout all these.
Speaker 4: They're going to get teased.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, these kids are in oshkosh, but gosh,
Speaker 2: and their parents have pinched their cheeks. They're all rosy
Speaker 2: and yor kids have an uber black arriving with their
Speaker 2: custom girl.
Speaker 3: And it sounds it sounds a lot class you know
Speaker 3: what it really was, My poor poor children.
Speaker 4: It's a try.
Speaker 5: They're like the Kardashi into the glam squad. How they
Speaker 5: carry around a glam squad.
Speaker 3: I also sent my maykeup out of some as well.
Speaker 3: I was like, fixed my children and check them.
Speaker 5: Put a bit of rouge on the little one. He's
Speaker 5: got otmeal on.
Speaker 3: Your just brush it's hair, just brush its hair. Well
Speaker 3: what she looked like when she left the hair she's like, cousin,
Speaker 3: it was everywhere.
Speaker 4: Brush your hair.
Speaker 5: Do you get sent a schedule from KINDI or yeah,
Speaker 5: yeah we did you know?
Speaker 3: Yeap, yes it's in the calendar. We got center schedule.
Speaker 3: We also got sent a reminder and we've paid for
Speaker 3: the photos.
Speaker 4: It's not like we didn't know, Like it's not there's
Speaker 4: not one part.
Speaker 3: Of this that we didn't know. But both Matt and
Speaker 3: I both forgot. My husband I forgot.
Speaker 2: So you know, Laura, these photos are going to be
Speaker 2: the pigs that you play back at their twenty first
Speaker 2: and it's fine you want these moments.
Speaker 3: I also think sometimes, you know, when we were kids
Speaker 3: and we were at school, not one of us had
Speaker 3: a good school photo, like we all looked like just
Speaker 3: weird and pimply and crazy, and kids these days they
Speaker 3: look too good.
Speaker 4: Not my kids, but other people's kids do.
Speaker 5: No my parents. So I'm a good kid, Like, I'm fine,
Speaker 5: I got a career. I'm happy. You're the same my parent,
Speaker 5: my mom.
Speaker 4: Right, I feel going about yourself, so glad it worked out.
Speaker 2: I was just reading impressed about my Google myself was
Speaker 2: reading the headlines. No, what I mean is myma had
Speaker 2: a major parenting fail. I went to the doctor recently.
Speaker 2: I don't know why. I just was getting a check up.
Speaker 2: He goes, You're all good, He goes, but did you
Speaker 2: get your vaccines when you're in high schools? Like I
Speaker 2: never got vaccines in high school. It's like you're not
Speaker 2: vaccinated for any of the hepatitis strains. My mom just
Speaker 2: didn't get me. She forgot to get me vaccinated.
Speaker 4: You've just reminded me. I don't know if Molly May
Speaker 4: has had a four year old ones Oh.
Speaker 3: No, no, okay, look if you've had a parenting fail,
Speaker 3: if you've experienced something where you think you could have
Speaker 3: done parenting a little bit better.
Speaker 4: I need to know because I need you to make
Speaker 4: me feel a bit better about this.
Speaker 2: Yeah, as a call thirteen one oh six five. We'll
Speaker 2: take your calls. Next on the pickup Laura Burn. I
Speaker 2: beloved Laura Burn, one of Australia's sweethearts, thinks she's a
Speaker 2: bad mum.
Speaker 4: I don't.
Speaker 3: I don't think I'm a bad mum. I had a
Speaker 3: bad mum moment. Yeah, I think I'm a reasonably okay mum.
Speaker 3: I'm I'm Yeah, I'm the best mum those kids ever
Speaker 3: going to have. Put it that way.
Speaker 5: That's you're a brilliant mum.
Speaker 2: So I want to I want mums of Australia and
Speaker 2: dad's parents of Australia to band together make Laura feel
Speaker 2: better because she sent her kids to school dressed like
Speaker 2: little hobbits and it was photo day.
Speaker 3: They looked like they crawled out of a trash can
Speaker 3: and I didn't want to fight them on it, and
Speaker 3: I sent them on their merry way to daycare. And
Speaker 3: I was quite happy with the fact that they still
Speaker 3: you know, one of them had like matted dreadlocks in
Speaker 3: their hair and at school.
Speaker 4: Photo day, and we'll remember it forever.
Speaker 5: We will uber clothes to thember black time. Actually, oh,
Speaker 5: that's even worse. You super pulled. It took half an
Speaker 5: hour to get there because someone was going to.
Speaker 3: Work with my kids cotton on dresses.
Speaker 2: Hey, I think your mum wanted me to give you
Speaker 2: this all right, Sorry, Ashley, I'm thirteen one oh sixty five.
Speaker 5: What was your parenting fail? Make Laura feel better?
Speaker 7: So taking my two kids to a three in one
Speaker 7: grocery shopping and I'd put the baby in the car.
Speaker 7: We'll both kids were in the car, shut the baby in,
Speaker 7: I put all the groceries away, and then proceeded to
Speaker 7: drive away from the supermarket. And my three year old
Speaker 7: yelled out, Mom, you haven't strapped me in.
Speaker 3: You know, it's good when they're at an age though,
Speaker 3: that's it's very good when they're three and up and
Speaker 3: they can tell you what you've done wrong.
Speaker 2: It's really good when they developed speech on their own
Speaker 2: so they can say we haven't.
Speaker 3: Well because sometimes the buckle actually just comes undone if
Speaker 3: you haven't clipped it in hard enough. And my four
Speaker 3: year it will be like momay, can't tell you.
Speaker 7: That was the case. I had not even attempted to.
Speaker 2: Actually dig in a deeper hold. I feel better, Amy, Hello,
Speaker 2: what does your parenting fail?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 8: So I always bring the wet white and I just
Speaker 8: did it this day. I was visiting a friend in
Speaker 8: a city. She would let me her car and her
Speaker 8: car feet driving to the shops, I heard my son
Speaker 8: grunting and strength and you know what sound is? And
Speaker 8: I opened the door. He gives me the cheekyt smile
Speaker 8: and there's who leaking out of his shorts into my
Speaker 8: friend's car seat.
Speaker 4: Booh yeah, mich that's what kids do. They pooh and
Speaker 4: their nappies.
Speaker 5: Do you know?
Speaker 4: Okay, did you ever have to what do you do?
Speaker 6: Like?
Speaker 4: Did you did you take one of your clothing items
Speaker 4: off and use it?
Speaker 6: Like?
Speaker 4: What was your resources in that moment?
Speaker 8: So I literally picked him up out of the carseat,
Speaker 8: put him in the back of the car, and then
Speaker 8: I'm just in this car park trying to make desperate
Speaker 8: eyes at anyone who could be a mum who would
Speaker 8: have wet whites? No one, No one's making eye contact
Speaker 8: with me. The old man diverted eye contact and walked
Speaker 8: very fast, quickly away from me.
Speaker 3: It's it's like when you're at a dog park and
Speaker 3: your dog does a pooh, but you don't have a
Speaker 3: poo bag.
Speaker 4: You got to find someone.
Speaker 3: Mum's experience this, but it's baby wipes exactly.
Speaker 8: And yeah, I end up finding some man he cial white,
Speaker 8: kind of wiping him down, racing home and just like
Speaker 8: apologizing so profusely on the French moment.
Speaker 2: I can tell you what this conversation is like for
Speaker 2: someone without kids. It's like one two crazy people on
Speaker 2: the street of bibing at each other. That's what you
Speaker 2: two sound like? What is wrong with your parents?
Speaker 4: All it were sleep deprived?
Speaker 2: Ashley's called hello, ash why don't you admit what you
Speaker 2: did wrong by your children?
Speaker 4: There's er judgment here when I feel better about it.
Speaker 1: So, my son was having his third birthday and I
Speaker 1: rock up with his big beautiful cake that says happy
Speaker 1: second birthday day on it. I didn't even realize until
Speaker 1: I went to light the candle and I was like, hold,
Speaker 1: I much meant to be three, and then realize I
Speaker 1: had got ron.
Speaker 3: That's good, he's not gonna remember, I reckon. They start
Speaker 3: forming memories from about four or five. We've got plenty
Speaker 3: of time to keep messing things up, is what I'm saying.
Speaker 5: I agree. I agree.
Speaker 3: Also, if there's cake, that's true. The photos don't lie.
Speaker 3: Neither will my children's photos either.
Speaker 4: That's the real problem. Get rid of all of the evidence.
Speaker 2: Laura, You're not a bad mum. Everyone's a bad mum.
Speaker 2: I think that's it's not just you.
Speaker 3: No, I don't think I have a bad mum, and
Speaker 3: I don't think anyone that's calling up as a bad mom.
Speaker 3: I just think sometimes things go wrong. Yeah, and you
Speaker 3: what you can be a little bit more kind to yourself.
Speaker 5: Yes, yes, no, I agree. I agree Like Ellen, look
Speaker 5: at you.
Speaker 3: And I might throw away my kids T shirt that
Speaker 3: she's worn for seven weeks straight.
Speaker 5: Thanks for listening everyone.
