<v Speaker 3>I said to her, do you hate us as a joke?

0:00:58.179 --> 0:01:00.139
<v Speaker 1>No, it's because you were doing I can't remember exactly.

0:00:59.819 --> 0:01:00.339
<v Speaker 4>What you were doing.

0:01:00.699 --> 0:01:01.499

<v Speaker 3>my call.

0:01:08.699 --> 0:01:12.619
<v Speaker 4>She says, I think everybody hates somebody two percent, so

0:01:12.658 --> 0:01:13.298
<v Speaker 4>that's normal.

0:01:13.419 --> 0:01:16.338
<v Speaker 1>No, she said, I think everybody hates everybody two percent.

0:01:16.419 --> 0:01:19.139
<v Speaker 1>Grace honestly believes in her soul. You can take a

0:01:19.179 --> 0:01:20.179
<v Speaker 1>second to defend yourself.

0:01:20.378 --> 0:01:22.538
<v Speaker 2>I stand by this. I'm not going to say I

0:01:22.539 --> 0:01:24.699
<v Speaker 2>didn't mean this. So you hate me two percent? No,

0:01:24.779 --> 0:01:26.818
<v Speaker 2>I just hate is a strong word.

0:01:26.979 --> 0:01:30.819
<v Speaker 4>You use it, but I know it's a part of

0:01:30.859 --> 0:01:32.139
<v Speaker 4>life that you get annoyed by people.

0:01:32.179 --> 0:01:34.339
<v Speaker 3>Sometimes I annoy it is love people.

0:01:34.378 --> 0:01:37.779
<v Speaker 1>But you go, oh gosh, that's annoying Grace. No, genuinely,

0:01:37.818 --> 0:01:40.539
<v Speaker 1>she stands by it that every single person she's ever

0:01:40.539 --> 0:01:43.178
<v Speaker 1>come in contact with she hates them by minimum two percent.

0:01:43.259 --> 0:01:44.859
<v Speaker 2>I don't think there's a single person in this.

0:01:44.859 --> 0:01:47.979
<v Speaker 1>World that you love everything about. Hang on, let's just

0:01:48.379 --> 0:01:50.779

0:01:50.779 --> 0:01:53.059

0:01:53.419 --> 0:01:54.219
<v Speaker 1>that's the incorrect.

0:01:54.379 --> 0:01:55.139
<v Speaker 2>Let's just get this.

0:01:55.179 --> 0:01:59.299
<v Speaker 3>Clear silence on set. Do you hate us two percent?

0:01:59.779 --> 0:02:01.499
<v Speaker 3>It's yes or no?

0:02:01.499 --> 0:02:07.019
<v Speaker 5>No, Well then you're telling me sometimes, Laura, we talk

0:02:07.099 --> 0:02:10.179
<v Speaker 5>a lot about dating and reliefationships here and online dating

0:02:10.219 --> 0:02:11.779
<v Speaker 5>and how crazy the world can be.

0:02:12.459 --> 0:02:14.258
<v Speaker 3>And I've always felt really sorry for a lot of

0:02:14.299 --> 0:02:14.779
<v Speaker 3>people that.

0:02:14.739 --> 0:02:17.419
<v Speaker 4>Are single and trying, like really hard to find the

0:02:17.459 --> 0:02:20.179
<v Speaker 4>love of their life, their penguin, their lobster, whatever you

0:02:20.179 --> 0:02:20.699
<v Speaker 4>want to call it.

0:02:21.258 --> 0:02:24.659
<v Speaker 2>But there's a lobster. Yeah, lobsters mate for life as well,

0:02:24.739 --> 0:02:25.178
<v Speaker 2>do they?

0:02:25.538 --> 0:02:26.219
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, a lobster.

0:02:26.619 --> 0:02:28.299
<v Speaker 1>I take it back for laughing. I'm so sorry to

0:02:28.339 --> 0:02:30.219
<v Speaker 1>not laugh at me such important facts.

0:02:30.258 --> 0:02:31.459
<v Speaker 2>I had a lot of animal facts.

0:02:31.499 --> 0:02:34.779
<v Speaker 4>A right, okay, whatever, We'll talk animal facts another day.

0:02:35.019 --> 0:02:37.419
<v Speaker 3>So there's a thread online that's made me realize why.

0:02:37.379 --> 0:02:39.139
<v Speaker 2>So many people might be single.

0:02:39.379 --> 0:02:44.019
<v Speaker 4>People are posting the pettiest reasons that they dumped somebody,

0:02:44.258 --> 0:02:46.738
<v Speaker 4>Like I mean, I think about the reasons I've broken

0:02:46.779 --> 0:02:48.499
<v Speaker 4>up with cin past I once broke up with someone

0:02:48.538 --> 0:02:48.939
<v Speaker 4>because they.

0:02:48.899 --> 0:02:49.578
<v Speaker 3>Farted too much.

0:02:49.659 --> 0:02:52.099
<v Speaker 1>Like, No, I feel like petty reasons though, it's like

0:02:52.299 --> 0:02:54.179
<v Speaker 1>that's the thing that you can attach something to, Like

0:02:54.219 --> 0:02:56.418
<v Speaker 1>you didn't get a vibe there was like obviously something

0:02:56.499 --> 0:02:57.419
<v Speaker 1>was missing already.

0:02:57.739 --> 0:02:59.779
<v Speaker 2>No, the fights were so bad. And on top of that,

0:02:59.779 --> 0:03:00.619
<v Speaker 2>he had a single bed.

0:03:01.499 --> 0:03:03.659
<v Speaker 4>I realized we could have bought a bigger bed, but

0:03:03.698 --> 0:03:04.659
<v Speaker 4>I just like, it wasn't there.

0:03:05.059 --> 0:03:07.779
<v Speaker 1>I mean, yeah, it is a single dude with a

0:03:07.819 --> 0:03:08.338
<v Speaker 1>single bed.

0:03:08.579 --> 0:03:10.779
<v Speaker 2>He wasn't single. We were dating. That was the whole point.

0:03:10.859 --> 0:03:11.298
<v Speaker 2>I stopped you.

0:03:11.418 --> 0:03:13.259
<v Speaker 1>I once dated a guy who only had the mattress

0:03:13.258 --> 0:03:14.819
<v Speaker 1>on the floor and no top sheet. I think that's

0:03:14.819 --> 0:03:15.939
<v Speaker 1>way worse than a single bed.

0:03:15.978 --> 0:03:17.579
<v Speaker 2>Okay, no, we think that's bad.

0:03:17.739 --> 0:03:19.539
<v Speaker 4>Have her listened to some of the reasons people are

0:03:19.579 --> 0:03:23.219
<v Speaker 4>dumping their partners. One person says she dumped her partner

0:03:23.219 --> 0:03:26.059
<v Speaker 4>because he failed to wish her a safe flight when

0:03:26.099 --> 0:03:27.419
<v Speaker 4>she was going away for the weekend.

0:03:27.579 --> 0:03:29.339
<v Speaker 1>Well, I mean something could have happened. I mean he

0:03:29.779 --> 0:03:30.619
<v Speaker 1>didn't care about her.

0:03:31.059 --> 0:03:33.339
<v Speaker 4>Okay, I cut him off when he didn't make sure

0:03:33.379 --> 0:03:35.739
<v Speaker 4>I got home safe after our date because my future

0:03:35.819 --> 0:03:38.339
<v Speaker 4>husband would never Also.

0:03:38.099 --> 0:03:40.139
<v Speaker 1>These things just pertain to a bit of chivalry, right,

0:03:40.259 --> 0:03:41.819
<v Speaker 1>Like they just want someone who's got a bit more

0:03:41.859 --> 0:03:43.699
<v Speaker 1>chivalry to them, cares about them, thinks about them.

0:03:43.739 --> 0:03:45.539
<v Speaker 4>Well, we put it out to you guys as well.

0:03:45.579 --> 0:03:47.299
<v Speaker 4>We wanted to get some people to write in. But

0:03:47.379 --> 0:03:50.219
<v Speaker 4>some of them are Like one person said, he flipped

0:03:50.259 --> 0:03:52.859
<v Speaker 4>the steak too many times when cooking it, like kept

0:03:52.899 --> 0:03:54.619
<v Speaker 4>slipping it over every thirty seconds.

0:03:54.659 --> 0:03:56.339
<v Speaker 1>I kind of get this one. He made himself a

0:03:56.379 --> 0:03:58.419
<v Speaker 1>coffee in his kitchen right in front of me and

0:03:58.499 --> 0:04:01.139
<v Speaker 1>didn't make me one or even offer I think that

0:04:01.139 --> 0:04:04.058
<v Speaker 1>that is like I kind of get that it's just inconsiderate.

0:04:04.659 --> 0:04:07.859
<v Speaker 2>I listened to this. No, he was waving to me

0:04:07.939 --> 0:04:08.939
<v Speaker 2>outside the shops.

0:04:08.979 --> 0:04:11.339
<v Speaker 3>Then he turned away and rollerbladed away from me.

0:04:13.939 --> 0:04:15.779
<v Speaker 2>That is funny. I think there's something.

0:04:15.539 --> 0:04:17.699
<v Speaker 4>I don't think I can date someone that's like dropping

0:04:17.699 --> 0:04:19.139
<v Speaker 4>me at the store on rollerblades.

0:04:19.779 --> 0:04:21.899
<v Speaker 1>I got one. He wrote every sentence on a new

0:04:21.979 --> 0:04:24.659
<v Speaker 1>line within a text message. It looked like a poem

0:04:24.699 --> 0:04:27.339
<v Speaker 1>and it gave me the ick. Also, do you remember

0:04:27.339 --> 0:04:28.699
<v Speaker 1>back in the day when you used to pay like

0:04:28.779 --> 0:04:31.619
<v Speaker 1>multiple text message, Like every x amount of characters was

0:04:31.659 --> 0:04:33.339
<v Speaker 1>like a new text message. You get charged for it.

0:04:33.499 --> 0:04:37.019
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, okay, he kept writing hay hy instead of hating text.

0:04:37.259 --> 0:04:39.819
<v Speaker 4>I mean, guys, I think you've been a little bit

0:04:39.859 --> 0:04:40.499
<v Speaker 4>fussy here.

0:04:40.579 --> 0:04:43.339
<v Speaker 1>Like I don't understand when people will write off dating

0:04:43.379 --> 0:04:45.659
<v Speaker 1>someone because of like bad grammar or something like that.

0:04:45.659 --> 0:04:47.339
<v Speaker 1>I understand that we kind of can have like a

0:04:47.379 --> 0:04:50.059
<v Speaker 1>bit of a an elitist status when it comes to

0:04:50.179 --> 0:04:53.099
<v Speaker 1>like how people write text messages or they communicate, or

0:04:53.099 --> 0:04:55.738
<v Speaker 1>people that use too much abbreviations. But all that stuff

0:04:55.739 --> 0:04:58.099
<v Speaker 1>can be changed. You can, you know, you can kind

0:04:58.099 --> 0:04:59.739
<v Speaker 1>of improve.

0:04:59.699 --> 0:05:01.699
<v Speaker 2>For give them a dictionary you can change. Then you

0:05:01.699 --> 0:05:05.019
<v Speaker 2>can change a person paid. We have Kaylor on the line. Kayler,

0:05:05.379 --> 0:05:07.139
<v Speaker 2>did you dump someone for a petty reason?

0:05:08.059 --> 0:05:12.579
<v Speaker 6>I did. Dental hygiene is paramount to me, and I

0:05:12.739 --> 0:05:15.699
<v Speaker 6>noticed that he had really bad build up of plaque

0:05:15.699 --> 0:05:18.539
<v Speaker 6>on his bottom teeth, and it was an instant. No,

0:05:18.619 --> 0:05:20.739
<v Speaker 6>I can't sold our football date that night, and I

0:05:20.779 --> 0:05:22.859
<v Speaker 6>said to him the next day, I'm.

0:05:22.659 --> 0:05:27.099
<v Speaker 1>Out, okay. I don't think it's petty's. I think, yeah,

0:05:27.099 --> 0:05:29.179
<v Speaker 1>you're safeguarding your future because you would have had to

0:05:29.179 --> 0:05:31.579
<v Speaker 1>have made out with that mouth. That's just that's just.

0:05:33.419 --> 0:05:34.699
<v Speaker 3>I think thinking is with.

0:05:34.859 --> 0:05:35.699
<v Speaker 2>The rule around this.

0:05:35.779 --> 0:05:37.739
<v Speaker 3>He's like, if you can see the plaque from a distance,

0:05:37.739 --> 0:05:38.339
<v Speaker 3>it's too much.

0:05:39.219 --> 0:05:40.219
<v Speaker 7>Oh yeah, exactly.

0:05:40.499 --> 0:05:42.819
<v Speaker 1>No, I'm actually I'm okay with that one. I won

0:05:42.939 --> 0:05:44.739
<v Speaker 1>some didn't go out with a guy again because he

0:05:44.939 --> 0:05:47.419
<v Speaker 1>had very, very clammy hands. I was just remembering it.

0:05:47.659 --> 0:05:49.379
<v Speaker 1>We were walking down the main street and he held

0:05:49.419 --> 0:05:51.699
<v Speaker 1>my hand and I was like, wow, that's very wet hand.

0:05:51.739 --> 0:05:53.699
<v Speaker 1>And then it was like hours later and he held

0:05:53.699 --> 0:05:54.939
<v Speaker 1>my hand again and I was like, oh my god,

0:05:54.939 --> 0:05:57.579
<v Speaker 1>his hand is so wet. He's just clammy, and I just, yeah,

0:05:57.619 --> 0:05:58.219
<v Speaker 1>it was too much.

0:05:58.259 --> 0:05:58.779
<v Speaker 2>It might have been.

0:05:58.739 --> 0:06:00.859
<v Speaker 3>Nervous your beauty might have blown away so much that

0:06:00.899 --> 0:06:01.459
<v Speaker 3>he was so nice.

0:06:01.499 --> 0:06:02.859
<v Speaker 2>Hey, we got gen on the line, Jen.

0:06:02.899 --> 0:06:05.019
<v Speaker 3>Did you dump someone for a stupid reason?

0:06:06.259 --> 0:06:11.339
<v Speaker 8>Yes? What he decided that to impress me and wants

0:06:11.339 --> 0:06:15.779
<v Speaker 8>to cook eggs for breakfast and ye, and he had

0:06:15.819 --> 0:06:19.459
<v Speaker 8>a frying pan, a nonstick frying pan, and pretty much

0:06:19.459 --> 0:06:23.579
<v Speaker 8>half of it was filled with oil, and when he

0:06:23.619 --> 0:06:26.059
<v Speaker 8>put the egg in, it was swimming in oil, and

0:06:26.099 --> 0:06:27.299
<v Speaker 8>I thought that was it.

0:06:27.539 --> 0:06:29.539
<v Speaker 1>So he was deep frying his fried egg and you

0:06:29.619 --> 0:06:31.819
<v Speaker 1>had a yeah, okay, look, you can also tell him

0:06:31.819 --> 0:06:32.619
<v Speaker 1>just to use less oil.

0:06:33.179 --> 0:06:35.219
<v Speaker 4>Hang on, just to clarify, was it the fact that

0:06:35.259 --> 0:06:37.979
<v Speaker 4>he used oil non stick pan or was the fact

0:06:37.979 --> 0:06:39.379
<v Speaker 4>that he used oil because it's unhealthy?

0:06:40.219 --> 0:06:45.419
<v Speaker 8>I think both, And I think it was he was

0:06:45.459 --> 0:06:48.219
<v Speaker 8>a bit confused because he thought we were going well.

0:06:48.259 --> 0:06:50.299
<v Speaker 8>But you know, in his defense, I think it was

0:06:50.619 --> 0:06:53.499
<v Speaker 8>just a rebound guy and I just needed anything to you.

0:06:53.899 --> 0:06:56.059
<v Speaker 1>This is what I think. I agree. I'm like, if

0:06:56.059 --> 0:06:58.139
<v Speaker 1>you're finding reasons out of that petty to break out

0:06:58.139 --> 0:06:59.899
<v Speaker 1>with someone, you know you're not that into it.

0:07:00.139 --> 0:07:02.099
<v Speaker 4>Of course, he could possibly be thought was going well,

0:07:02.099 --> 0:07:03.939
<v Speaker 4>he took your way and he's cooking your breakfast and

0:07:03.979 --> 0:07:05.139
<v Speaker 4>you're like, nah, yeah.

0:07:05.019 --> 0:07:07.659
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, thank you.

0:07:07.779 --> 0:07:09.859
<v Speaker 1>No, I stick by that. I reckon that people are

0:07:09.899 --> 0:07:11.619
<v Speaker 1>just looking for an easy out. Dating is hard enough.

0:07:11.619 --> 0:07:13.259
<v Speaker 1>You're not ruling someone out because they use a bit

0:07:13.299 --> 0:07:15.179
<v Speaker 1>too much oil in a pan. Now the pluck for me,

0:07:15.259 --> 0:07:18.819
<v Speaker 1>I'm out there. Yeah yeah, no, I agree. Now, Britt,

0:07:18.819 --> 0:07:21.939
<v Speaker 1>you might remember a few weeks back, we were speaking

0:07:22.099 --> 0:07:25.539
<v Speaker 1>about there's kind of been this real change and shift

0:07:25.579 --> 0:07:29.139
<v Speaker 1>in perceptions around letting your kids sleep over at people's houses.

0:07:29.179 --> 0:07:32.419
<v Speaker 1>And there's a debate that's been happening online as to whether, firstly,

0:07:32.459 --> 0:07:34.819
<v Speaker 1>what is the right age, and as to whether it's

0:07:34.859 --> 0:07:38.059
<v Speaker 1>the right thing for your kids' safety to let them

0:07:38.179 --> 0:07:41.179
<v Speaker 1>sleep over at friends' houses. And it's an interesting one

0:07:41.179 --> 0:07:43.659
<v Speaker 1>because we talked about it, it blew up on socials.

0:07:44.339 --> 0:07:46.259
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how I feel about it as a

0:07:46.339 --> 0:07:49.099
<v Speaker 1>mum to two little girls, because I have seen some

0:07:49.259 --> 0:07:53.179
<v Speaker 1>truly harrowing stories that have been shared on social media

0:07:53.259 --> 0:07:56.099
<v Speaker 1>about horrible things that have happened on sleepovers. But I

0:07:56.179 --> 0:07:58.459
<v Speaker 1>also know that it's kind of like, I write a

0:07:58.499 --> 0:08:00.739
<v Speaker 1>passage for kids, and we all did it as kids,

0:08:00.779 --> 0:08:02.779
<v Speaker 1>and it's some of the best memories. Even though you

0:08:02.819 --> 0:08:05.299
<v Speaker 1>come back tired and no one slept, and like you know,

0:08:05.859 --> 0:08:06.899
<v Speaker 1>also has a downside.

0:08:06.979 --> 0:08:08.419
<v Speaker 4>You know what, I the only thing I'll quickly had

0:08:08.419 --> 0:08:11.019
<v Speaker 4>to before because I know it's serious. But my best

0:08:11.059 --> 0:08:13.179
<v Speaker 4>friend reminded me on the weekend. We've been best friends

0:08:13.179 --> 0:08:14.819
<v Speaker 4>for thirty years and we used to say each other's

0:08:14.819 --> 0:08:16.899
<v Speaker 4>house all the time. She's like, remember how every time

0:08:16.939 --> 0:08:18.859
<v Speaker 4>we'd have a sleepover, you'd only come if you liked

0:08:18.859 --> 0:08:19.699
<v Speaker 4>what we had for dinner.

0:08:19.739 --> 0:08:22.219
<v Speaker 1>Like I used to say, are you reading?

0:08:22.459 --> 0:08:23.859
<v Speaker 2>She's like, want to save tonight? And I was like,

0:08:24.059 --> 0:08:24.699
<v Speaker 2>what's for dinner?

0:08:24.739 --> 0:08:25.219
<v Speaker 3>I was like eight?

0:08:25.379 --> 0:08:27.139
<v Speaker 2>She told me if I did like it, I wouldn't go.

0:08:27.659 --> 0:08:29.619
<v Speaker 1>I like that you had strong boundaries even as an

0:08:29.659 --> 0:08:31.299
<v Speaker 1>eight year old, did I knew what I wanted?

0:08:31.339 --> 0:08:31.939
<v Speaker 2>Well, look, it.

0:08:31.899 --> 0:08:34.619
<v Speaker 1>Really did blow up on socials, so many people were

0:08:34.619 --> 0:08:37.739
<v Speaker 1>discussing the fore and against it. There's a lot of

0:08:37.859 --> 0:08:39.739
<v Speaker 1>families who are kind of taking the rout now of

0:08:39.779 --> 0:08:42.379
<v Speaker 1>not letting their kids go to sleepovers. But then there's

0:08:42.379 --> 0:08:44.539
<v Speaker 1>also people who think that maybe we're wrapping our kids

0:08:44.539 --> 0:08:46.939
<v Speaker 1>too much. In Cotton boll Someone who did slide into

0:08:46.939 --> 0:08:50.539
<v Speaker 1>our DMS is Genevieve Mua now jen Is. She's an

0:08:50.539 --> 0:08:54.979
<v Speaker 1>Obstretix social worker, and she also has the business connected parenting,

0:08:55.499 --> 0:08:58.539
<v Speaker 1>and it was really nice to chat to someone who

0:08:58.579 --> 0:09:00.619
<v Speaker 1>actually has insight into this. Not only does she have

0:09:00.699 --> 0:09:02.939
<v Speaker 1>four boys herself, but she's helped a lot of parents

0:09:02.939 --> 0:09:04.939
<v Speaker 1>across the country manage what is a great way of

0:09:04.979 --> 0:09:07.979
<v Speaker 1>finding a middle ground in this, Jen, welcome to the show.

0:09:08.619 --> 0:09:09.779
<v Speaker 7>Thank you so much for having me.

0:09:09.859 --> 0:09:13.219
<v Speaker 4>Guys, Jen, I'm assuming the middle ground isn't asking what

0:09:13.219 --> 0:09:14.019
<v Speaker 4>they've got for dinner.

0:09:15.779 --> 0:09:18.659
<v Speaker 7>I love that though. That is brilliant. I'm asking that next.

0:09:18.659 --> 0:09:20.499
<v Speaker 7>So I get asked on the sleepover for sure?

0:09:20.779 --> 0:09:23.499
<v Speaker 1>Do you think that it's something that parents should be

0:09:23.539 --> 0:09:26.458
<v Speaker 1>particularly concerned about or do you feel as though that

0:09:26.579 --> 0:09:29.179
<v Speaker 1>maybe there has been I guess a bit of fear

0:09:29.259 --> 0:09:31.859
<v Speaker 1>mungering happening online and on social media at the moment

0:09:31.859 --> 0:09:33.379
<v Speaker 1>around this whole sleepover debate.

0:09:34.459 --> 0:09:36.459
<v Speaker 9>I think it's hard to be a parent in general

0:09:36.579 --> 0:09:38.819
<v Speaker 9>these days. One of the things that I think is

0:09:38.859 --> 0:09:41.379
<v Speaker 9>a good thing, right is there's been a massive social

0:09:41.459 --> 0:09:44.139
<v Speaker 9>change in our understanding of what the risk to kids

0:09:44.179 --> 0:09:47.179
<v Speaker 9>are and we now know that when it comes to

0:09:47.179 --> 0:09:49.259
<v Speaker 9>those risks or when things happen to kids that we

0:09:49.259 --> 0:09:51.899
<v Speaker 9>would like to protect them from ninety percent of the

0:09:51.939 --> 0:09:54.619
<v Speaker 9>time that happens at the hands of someone we know

0:09:54.699 --> 0:09:57.459
<v Speaker 9>and trust. Now, that's why the sleepover thing has become

0:09:57.459 --> 0:10:00.579
<v Speaker 9>an issue. Now think back to the old days where

0:10:00.619 --> 0:10:03.739
<v Speaker 9>we thought the risk was strangers totally and that's what

0:10:03.779 --> 0:10:05.499
<v Speaker 9>we want kids about, and we now.

0:10:05.339 --> 0:10:06.939
<v Speaker 7>Know how we had that wrong.

0:10:07.339 --> 0:10:09.859
<v Speaker 9>So I love that p have access to the right

0:10:09.939 --> 0:10:13.299
<v Speaker 9>information now about how to protect their kids. You know,

0:10:13.339 --> 0:10:14.619
<v Speaker 9>we could say that's.

0:10:14.259 --> 0:10:15.739
<v Speaker 10>No sleepovers ever, but we let.

0:10:15.579 --> 0:10:19.339
<v Speaker 9>Our kids go online where so many similar tricky things

0:10:19.339 --> 0:10:22.218
<v Speaker 9>can happen online. Right, So what we really want to

0:10:22.259 --> 0:10:25.019
<v Speaker 9>do is start to have a sense of, well, who

0:10:25.299 --> 0:10:25.779
<v Speaker 9>is my.

0:10:25.939 --> 0:10:28.699
<v Speaker 10>Kid, where are they going? So how well do I

0:10:28.779 --> 0:10:29.499
<v Speaker 10>know that family?

0:10:30.339 --> 0:10:32.699
<v Speaker 9>In terms of my kids, I'm looking.

0:10:32.419 --> 0:10:35.059
<v Speaker 7>For certain levels of skill. Is my child at.

0:10:34.979 --> 0:10:37.739
<v Speaker 9>An age where they absolutely know they could come to

0:10:37.779 --> 0:10:40.499
<v Speaker 9>me if they felt uncomfortable, they could ask to go home,

0:10:41.019 --> 0:10:44.139
<v Speaker 9>could they communicate that if they needed to. If my

0:10:44.219 --> 0:10:46.459
<v Speaker 9>child has those skills, if I have someone in my

0:10:46.539 --> 0:10:48.699
<v Speaker 9>life where I really trust and I've known them.

0:10:48.539 --> 0:10:50.659
<v Speaker 7>For a while, then that's a really.

0:10:50.459 --> 0:10:52.979
<v Speaker 9>Different thing than if they don't have those skills, and

0:10:53.059 --> 0:10:54.619
<v Speaker 9>I want to kind of acknowledge they'd.

0:10:54.459 --> 0:10:56.338
<v Speaker 10>Be single parents that do not have an.

0:10:56.299 --> 0:10:59.219
<v Speaker 9>Option if they're doing shipwork, then to have sometimes the

0:10:59.299 --> 0:11:01.859
<v Speaker 9>village step in and support them. We might have great

0:11:01.899 --> 0:11:06.379
<v Speaker 9>relatives and grandparents, we might have really close family friends that.

0:11:06.299 --> 0:11:08.619
<v Speaker 7>We've known and we intimately know really well.

0:11:08.819 --> 0:11:12.019
<v Speaker 9>So I think it's also about every situation is different.

0:11:12.419 --> 0:11:14.899
<v Speaker 9>But the final thing that we can all do from

0:11:14.899 --> 0:11:19.339
<v Speaker 9>a really young age, and that is really talk openly

0:11:19.419 --> 0:11:22.099
<v Speaker 9>and honestly to your kids about a couple of key things.

0:11:22.379 --> 0:11:25.539
<v Speaker 10>One is you know the normal names.

0:11:25.299 --> 0:11:27.459
<v Speaker 9>Of body parts, and kind of making sure we have

0:11:27.539 --> 0:11:29.859
<v Speaker 9>open and honest conversations about those things.

0:11:30.259 --> 0:11:31.619
<v Speaker 7>Teaching our kids things.

0:11:31.379 --> 0:11:33.219
<v Speaker 9>Like you don't have to hug your uncle if you

0:11:33.219 --> 0:11:34.659
<v Speaker 9>don't want to, you can give them a high five.

0:11:34.939 --> 0:11:37.219
<v Speaker 9>So that's body autonomy and having a sense of that

0:11:37.339 --> 0:11:40.419
<v Speaker 9>stuff from a really young age. And the final thing,

0:11:40.419 --> 0:11:43.338
<v Speaker 9>and I think this matters more than anything else, there

0:11:43.379 --> 0:11:44.339
<v Speaker 9>is nothing you could.

0:11:44.179 --> 0:11:46.179
<v Speaker 7>Ever do or say that would make me love you less.

0:11:46.219 --> 0:11:49.939
<v Speaker 9>There's nothing you can't tell me I will always believe you.

0:11:50.219 --> 0:11:52.699
<v Speaker 9>And that one you have to keep saying from the

0:11:52.739 --> 0:11:56.299
<v Speaker 9>beginning all the way through. You know, at sixteen we're

0:11:56.339 --> 0:11:59.459
<v Speaker 9>still saying the same thing. You're going out tonight. There

0:11:59.539 --> 0:12:02.219
<v Speaker 9>is nothing that could happen or that you could do

0:12:02.779 --> 0:12:04.859
<v Speaker 9>where you can't call me and I wouldn't be there

0:12:04.899 --> 0:12:06.019
<v Speaker 9>on your side to help you.

0:12:06.139 --> 0:12:08.339
<v Speaker 1>Jen, out of curiosity, how old are your kids when

0:12:08.379 --> 0:12:10.019
<v Speaker 1>you let them sleep over at people's houses?

0:12:10.859 --> 0:12:15.219
<v Speaker 9>So look really different ages depending on the child. But

0:12:15.939 --> 0:12:18.099
<v Speaker 9>like I think, if we were to say like a

0:12:18.259 --> 0:12:22.219
<v Speaker 9>good age in general, I think it's probably somewhere upwards

0:12:22.219 --> 0:12:26.219
<v Speaker 9>of maybe eight ish. I know there's been some guidelines

0:12:26.219 --> 0:12:28.779
<v Speaker 9>put out by the government where they're saying from about eleven.

0:12:29.419 --> 0:12:34.259
<v Speaker 9>I think that's quite old myself, because most kids will

0:12:34.259 --> 0:12:35.619
<v Speaker 9>go on their first school camp.

0:12:35.459 --> 0:12:36.219
<v Speaker 7>At around eleven.

0:12:36.419 --> 0:12:37.899
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean you don't think about that too. I

0:12:37.939 --> 0:12:40.699
<v Speaker 1>remember going on the school camp lucky. My mum never

0:12:40.699 --> 0:12:42.899
<v Speaker 1>really let us stay at people's houses, but they always

0:12:42.899 --> 0:12:44.539
<v Speaker 1>stay to ours, so I was kind of used to

0:12:44.579 --> 0:12:48.539
<v Speaker 1>the sleepover environment. Oh got ours everywhere I did out.

0:12:48.899 --> 0:12:51.539
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know your mum also had four kids, and

0:12:51.539 --> 0:12:52.819
<v Speaker 1>she was like, just get one of them out of

0:12:52.819 --> 0:12:53.099
<v Speaker 1>the house.

0:12:53.139 --> 0:12:55.059
<v Speaker 2>That we kids, and they were all working. They were

0:12:55.059 --> 0:12:57.899
<v Speaker 2>like find a friend today somewhere else.

0:12:58.259 --> 0:13:00.379
<v Speaker 1>Thanking so much, Jen, thanks for joining the show.

0:13:01.099 --> 0:13:02.299
<v Speaker 7>Absolute pleasure. Guys.

0:13:03.939 --> 0:13:06.739
<v Speaker 1>There is an etiquette when it comes to Facebook marketplace right,

0:13:06.779 --> 0:13:09.699
<v Speaker 1>Like it's kind of an unspoken edite about how you

0:13:09.739 --> 0:13:11.779
<v Speaker 1>interact with the buyer and the seller and what you

0:13:11.819 --> 0:13:13.219
<v Speaker 1>do when you've got to pick the thing up from

0:13:13.259 --> 0:13:15.979
<v Speaker 1>their house and X y Z, Like I think most

0:13:15.979 --> 0:13:18.419
<v Speaker 1>people know how to be when it comes to me

0:13:18.739 --> 0:13:19.219
<v Speaker 1>like a place.

0:13:19.219 --> 0:13:22.019
<v Speaker 4>It's pretty annoying though, like how many conversations you have

0:13:22.059 --> 0:13:23.339
<v Speaker 4>about how much something is?

0:13:23.659 --> 0:13:25.219
<v Speaker 3>Can you do a better price? You talk to them

0:13:25.259 --> 0:13:26.939
<v Speaker 3>for like where are you when's a good time?

0:13:26.939 --> 0:13:28.419
<v Speaker 4>You talked to them for like three days about picking

0:13:28.459 --> 0:13:30.499
<v Speaker 4>up saying for twenty bucks and then they're like not and.

0:13:30.499 --> 0:13:32.579
<v Speaker 1>Then then they go stray yeah, and you're like.

0:13:32.499 --> 0:13:33.779
<v Speaker 3>What just wasting my life?

0:13:34.019 --> 0:13:36.619
<v Speaker 1>We were talking about funny experiences that we'd had off

0:13:36.659 --> 0:13:38.339
<v Speaker 1>the back of it, because everyone's had like a bit

0:13:38.379 --> 0:13:40.699
<v Speaker 1>of a cooked experience if you've used it enough times.

0:13:40.899 --> 0:13:43.179
<v Speaker 1>I had something happened recently where I was. I wasn't

0:13:43.219 --> 0:13:45.179
<v Speaker 1>even selling it. I was giving away a coffee table.

0:13:45.219 --> 0:13:46.899
<v Speaker 1>I was like, just someone come and take this coffee

0:13:46.899 --> 0:13:49.819
<v Speaker 1>table off my hands. And this man came into my house.

0:13:50.259 --> 0:13:52.539
<v Speaker 1>I was there with the kids, Matt wasn't home. He

0:13:52.619 --> 0:13:56.179
<v Speaker 1>comes into the house. Forty five minutes later he is

0:13:56.259 --> 0:13:59.339
<v Speaker 1>still in my house having a chat. Lovely English guy.

0:13:59.379 --> 0:14:01.699
<v Speaker 1>He's moving to Australia. Just give me his life story.

0:14:01.779 --> 0:14:03.459
<v Speaker 3>Maybe he's trying to make some new friends.

0:14:03.459 --> 0:14:05.539
<v Speaker 1>Maybe he was talking about his wife. His wife was

0:14:05.579 --> 0:14:07.299
<v Speaker 1>having a baby. Then he wanted to know about the dog,

0:14:07.339 --> 0:14:09.019
<v Speaker 1>and I was like, please just take the coffee table

0:14:09.019 --> 0:14:09.859
<v Speaker 1>and get out of my house.

0:14:09.859 --> 0:14:10.779
<v Speaker 2>I'll pay you to go.

0:14:11.299 --> 0:14:13.219
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I was like, I'll give you the twenty dollars

0:14:13.219 --> 0:14:15.059
<v Speaker 1>to lead anyway, I had to pretend like I needed

0:14:15.059 --> 0:14:16.259
<v Speaker 1>to go and have a shower and that the kids

0:14:16.259 --> 0:14:18.019
<v Speaker 1>need a nat. My kid's full. She doesn't nask.

0:14:18.539 --> 0:14:20.739
<v Speaker 2>He's like, I'll watch the kids, want you shall But.

0:14:20.859 --> 0:14:23.699
<v Speaker 1>There was one story that came up produce the grace

0:14:24.179 --> 0:14:27.539
<v Speaker 1>here she is. I don't think that anyone could top

0:14:28.099 --> 0:14:30.539
<v Speaker 1>the Facebook marketplace story that you had. There was a

0:14:30.539 --> 0:14:32.699
<v Speaker 1>lot of trust that was put in you. Yes there was.

0:14:32.859 --> 0:14:36.099
<v Speaker 4>But my wife, Diana, she is the sort of person

0:14:36.099 --> 0:14:39.339
<v Speaker 4>that gets really into hobbies and just loves buying everything

0:14:39.379 --> 0:14:41.179
<v Speaker 4>before she's even had to go at it. So a

0:14:41.219 --> 0:14:42.859
<v Speaker 4>couple of weeks ago she was like, I want to

0:14:42.859 --> 0:14:45.619
<v Speaker 4>get really into surfing. Has never surfed in her life,

0:14:45.699 --> 0:14:47.699
<v Speaker 4>and she was like, this is my thing now. So

0:14:47.739 --> 0:14:50.299
<v Speaker 4>he organized this meet up to get this surfboard off

0:14:50.339 --> 0:14:52.659
<v Speaker 4>Facebook marketplace. The guy was like, you know what, I'm

0:14:52.699 --> 0:14:54.659
<v Speaker 4>actually out for the day, but I'm going to pop

0:14:54.659 --> 0:14:57.179
<v Speaker 4>it next to this table blah blah blah in the garage.

0:14:57.459 --> 0:14:59.059
<v Speaker 1>And I was like, great, we're sweet.

0:14:59.219 --> 0:14:59.939
<v Speaker 2>We drove an.

0:14:59.859 --> 0:15:01.659
<v Speaker 1>Hour and a half there. How much was he charging

0:15:01.779 --> 0:15:01.979
<v Speaker 1>for it?

0:15:02.259 --> 0:15:06.819
<v Speaker 4>Surfboard in the garage? Aaron down South, down South?

0:15:06.859 --> 0:15:09.579
<v Speaker 1>But it was a good price, good price, work the drive, great.

0:15:09.459 --> 0:15:12.299
<v Speaker 4>Surfboard looked good for beginners. We're like, were set, and

0:15:12.339 --> 0:15:14.379
<v Speaker 4>I was like, I will indulge you this once, but

0:15:15.019 --> 0:15:18.059
<v Speaker 4>this will be the last surfboard you're buying anyway. So

0:15:18.099 --> 0:15:20.779
<v Speaker 4>we get there, find the surfboard exactly where he said,

0:15:20.819 --> 0:15:23.579
<v Speaker 4>next to the table, and then we're like, okay, it's

0:15:23.579 --> 0:15:24.459
<v Speaker 4>not going to fit in the car.

0:15:24.539 --> 0:15:26.499
<v Speaker 2>We're going to have to rope it to the roof.

0:15:27.219 --> 0:15:29.579
<v Speaker 4>So we're in the kind of mentality of if he

0:15:29.659 --> 0:15:33.059
<v Speaker 4>can't tie knots, tie loots, so we have like seven

0:15:33.779 --> 0:15:37.219
<v Speaker 4>that's the saying. So we've tied it all down. We're

0:15:37.299 --> 0:15:39.739
<v Speaker 4>driving back on the freeway. We're like, we've nailed this,

0:15:40.139 --> 0:15:42.819
<v Speaker 4>but then the surfboard starts flapping.

0:15:42.779 --> 0:15:45.579
<v Speaker 2>The wind that gets under surfboard on the roof of

0:15:45.619 --> 0:15:45.899
<v Speaker 2>your car.

0:15:46.099 --> 0:15:48.779
<v Speaker 1>We're about to lose this surfboard that we've just purchased.

0:15:48.859 --> 0:15:49.779
<v Speaker 2>My wife's new hobby.

0:15:49.819 --> 0:15:53.779
<v Speaker 4>Who's so excited about it. It's flapping, it's flapping, and

0:15:53.859 --> 0:15:56.699
<v Speaker 4>we're like heart thumping. You can't even pull over because

0:15:56.699 --> 0:16:00.099
<v Speaker 4>it's like a bit on a highway. So we get

0:16:00.139 --> 0:16:03.339
<v Speaker 4>home and we just made it. There's like ropes flying everywhere,

0:16:03.659 --> 0:16:05.379
<v Speaker 4>and we're like, this is so dangerous.

0:16:05.459 --> 0:16:06.939
<v Speaker 1>I cannot believe that we've made it.

0:16:06.979 --> 0:16:09.459
<v Speaker 4>Back with this surfboard a picture of it to send

0:16:09.459 --> 0:16:10.899
<v Speaker 4>it to the guy and go thank you so much.

0:16:10.979 --> 0:16:12.779
<v Speaker 2>We just made it. Was a bit. Hen't know where

0:16:12.779 --> 0:16:13.459
<v Speaker 2>this is going.

0:16:14.499 --> 0:16:17.059
<v Speaker 4>He stented back, that's not my surfboard.

0:16:20.139 --> 0:16:24.059
<v Speaker 3>He just stole some we accidentally we went into the garage.

0:16:24.059 --> 0:16:25.499
<v Speaker 4>It was exactly where he said, but it was his

0:16:25.619 --> 0:16:27.459
<v Speaker 4>roommate's surfboard.

0:16:27.459 --> 0:16:31.139
<v Speaker 1>You stole someone's surfboard, so it was the right I

0:16:31.139 --> 0:16:34.579
<v Speaker 1>thought you went into the wrong house. Yes, No, it

0:16:34.619 --> 0:16:37.819
<v Speaker 1>was the roommate's surfboard, much fancier than the one we

0:16:37.819 --> 0:16:39.659
<v Speaker 1>were picking up. We were like, we've got to steal

0:16:40.539 --> 0:16:42.419
<v Speaker 1>that is did you have to drive it back, had

0:16:42.459 --> 0:16:44.219
<v Speaker 1>to drive all the way back. We learned how to

0:16:44.259 --> 0:16:46.259
<v Speaker 1>tie not its the second time around, so at least

0:16:46.259 --> 0:16:48.939
<v Speaker 1>the surfboard stayed attached to the car. I'm just imagining

0:16:48.979 --> 0:16:51.099
<v Speaker 1>you're getting the surfboard bat. It's so bad, en aughter,

0:16:51.139 --> 0:16:53.019
<v Speaker 1>being tried to a couple of roof racksy like, there

0:16:53.059 --> 0:16:55.219
<v Speaker 1>it is, give me the other one. It's a trade up.

0:16:56.499 --> 0:17:03.979
<v Speaker 2>When I stole that dog from the person's card, you

0:17:04.059 --> 0:17:05.219
<v Speaker 2>thought we were saving it.

0:17:05.299 --> 0:17:07.859
<v Speaker 3>I thought it was lost and I took it from

0:17:07.898 --> 0:17:08.379
<v Speaker 3>the lawn.

0:17:08.539 --> 0:17:10.819
<v Speaker 2>I was like, don't worry, sweet angel, I'm gonna save you.

0:17:11.339 --> 0:17:13.859
<v Speaker 4>I had a fleck two days, and it turns out

0:17:14.259 --> 0:17:17.179
<v Speaker 4>when I finally contacted the owner, he was so grateful.

0:17:17.219 --> 0:17:19.459
<v Speaker 2>He was like, thank you so much for being worried sick.

0:17:19.459 --> 0:17:20.539
<v Speaker 2>And I was like, tell me where you live, I'll

0:17:20.579 --> 0:17:22.059
<v Speaker 2>drop it back. He gave me his address and I

0:17:22.059 --> 0:17:22.299
<v Speaker 2>was like.

0:17:22.299 --> 0:17:23.739
<v Speaker 3>Pretty sure that's where I took it from.

0:17:25.379 --> 0:17:27.539
<v Speaker 4>And I was like you're welcome, Like it's crazy out there,

0:17:27.619 --> 0:17:28.139
<v Speaker 4>be careful.

0:17:28.299 --> 0:17:29.939
<v Speaker 2>Took the dog back, mortified.

0:17:30.459 --> 0:17:33.979
<v Speaker 1>That's so good, Grace. When you first held me that story,

0:17:34.059 --> 0:17:36.259
<v Speaker 1>I thought you'd gone into the wrong house, but you

0:17:36.339 --> 0:17:39.139
<v Speaker 1>didn't have a choice. Returning it since you so evidently

0:17:39.179 --> 0:17:40.139
<v Speaker 1>took the wrong one.
