1
00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:04,320
Speaker 1: And Amanda jam Nation. You know, I don't like a

2
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:07,280
Speaker 1: sentence of stance with when I was young, younger or

3
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:09,480
Speaker 1: growing up, but I'm going to start this. When I

4
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 1: was younger and growing up, we didn't have many parties,

5
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 1: did you. What were the coming of age parties? Oh?

6
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 1: I had twenty first. Twenty first was really it, and

7
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:20,600
Speaker 1: then maybe an engagement in a wedding and that was it.

8
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 1: With a little bit of a kitchen team maybe thrown

9
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:24,960
Speaker 1: in and you've got an oven, me Bucks party, Bucks, party,

10
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: wet the baby's head. That was always good. They don't

11
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 1: have that anymore though. Yeah, what a shame that men

12
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:33,479
Speaker 1: aren't encouraged to go out for eighteen hours while their

13
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 1: wife has a baby and the mother in law looks

14
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 1: after the toddlers at home. It's a celebration. It's pretty

15
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:41,919
Speaker 1: much how it goes, isn't it. It's a great tradition

16
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:46,639
Speaker 1: about welcoming a new face into the villain. Yeah, by

17
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,880
Speaker 1: getting off your face at the pub. Well, I miss

18
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: Melissa Hoyer. She's a friend of ours, We know her,

19
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 1: and she's a social commentator and she's written an article

20
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: and I hadn't heard of this before, so she as

21
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: she says here. We now have a whole lot of

22
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 1: other kind of parties. We have the gender reveal parties.

23
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 1: We have baby moons. We can that's where we go

24
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: away before you have the baby. So it's the last

25
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: weekend away, last week away before. Yes, well that maybe

26
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 1: has a babistic We have hens parties that go for

27
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:22,040
Speaker 1: days at a time. We have engagement parties, divorce parties now.

28
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: But I'd never heard of this, and I hope people

29
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: don't find this offensive. I'm just reading the information. A

30
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:31,320
Speaker 1: period party a party thrown for young women when they

31
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 1: get to celebrate their first period. Although you're talking about

32
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:37,839
Speaker 1: a historical period. Yes, that's right, the Middle Ages past.

33
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: My so the period party. And it sounds horrendous in

34
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 1: that there's a there's like a red chocolate fountain. They're

35
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,559
Speaker 1: fully leaning into all things red, and there are goody

36
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 1: bags full of balloons, full of you know, menstrual products,

37
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: red velvet cakes, all of this. And the thing is

38
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: they're trying to demystify no taboos. This is something that

39
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: happens young women. The hard thing with this, I imagine

40
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: is also it can be an embarrassing time. Some people

41
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 1: get periods early. Some people get them very late, and

42
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: it can be a confusing and painful time. So I

43
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: don't know how i'd feel about that with mothers and

44
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: presumably mothers trying to be in sync with their children's cycle.

45
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: It's like it's too much information to share with a community.

46
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 1: Although there are other cultures where this is shared. It's

47
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 1: a big deal. It's a big deal, and it is

48
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: a big deal in a girl's life, but I don't

49
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 1: know if they want it shared publicly. But so anyway,

50
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: if you're thinking of throwing a period party, have a

51
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: look online, because there's lots of inspiration is to have

52
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: a look at this stuff. It's Barbie sitting in a

53
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 1: pool of things and you know, things and things and things.

54
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: I've got no time for that. I would actually think

55
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: make more sense. Have a menopause party. All of that,

56
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: we're just tinted, Kathy lette about that. All of that's

57
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,079
Speaker 1: behind you. You can afford to buy a nice champagne.

58
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: Just get on the turps with your girlfriends and the

59
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: blakes can go and wet the baby's hair. Who's baby?

60
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 1: Who can That doesn't matter. Someone's had a baby,
