sixth through the twenty eighth. What is it that your
(00:41):
because my sister's having a hard time with this, I
think and has four years and Paulina had mentioned it too,
But grandparents being grandparents, parents being parents to your kids,
so they raised you right, and then you have kids
and then you say, you know, nana and whatever, people
come over here and watch my kids and or go
(01:02):
go over to their house and then for some reason,
even though we were spoiled by our grandparents, and our
grandparents were the ones that brought us the stuff that
you know, our parents wouldn't buy us, or let us
stay up later, or do the stuff that our parents
wouldn't let us do, or feed us the food that
our parents wouldn't let us. See, that's what grandparents do, right,
except now that it's happening to us, we don't like it. Like,
(01:24):
my mom can't. My sister is like so control focused,
big surprise. I wonder where she got that. They're like
she's I was almost afraid to leave my mom with
these kids because it's like the mom's gonna be mem
She's gonna be Mimi is what they call her, and
do this stuff. And you're saying, now, your mom is
doing this and you're annoyed by it, Paulina, You're annoyed
(01:46):
that your mom is doing it her own way, even
though that's what your grandparents would have done for you
if they weren't in Poland.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Yes, so, Mom, if you're listening, I'm just playing, please
come watch my kids.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
By It's because a lot, and I've talked.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
To her about it a little bit a little bit
because Martella, you have to like kind of ease your
way in to be.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Able to get this information out to her.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
But she is Bopcha, right, So she's she's grandma to Gigi,
and we are just on two different pages to the
point where I'm like, do we need to limit our
time together? Like do we need to have a bigger conversation,
because I feel like when Gidi's with Bobcha, with her grandmother,
I feel like she is like wild child, like she
does whatever she wants and this and that, and I'm
(02:27):
trying to discipline her of we clean up, we don't
throw stuff, and my mom just laughs and it's so
funny and you know, she can never do wrong, and oh,
we don't do that, and it's all giggles, and I'm like,
but we're not teaching her structure. And now she's like,
in my opinion, she's on two different timelines. Here with me,
she knows we do this, but with Grandma it's like
a whole different baby.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
So I'm like, we gotta be one here, we gotta
be a teen.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
But is she is she carrying this stuff over from
from Bobcha to like your life or does she mean
you just said, like, is she ever? Is she able
to separate the fact that she can act up and
and be crazy with her grandmother but not with you.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
I think once Grandma leaves or I pick her up,
it takes about an hour or two for her to
get back into the gig that I'm raising, like the
gigi that I know, you know what I mean, chicks
to get out of this mode or something which she does.
Like I'm proud of my baby. She knows, you know,
Bapcha's rules and then Mom's rules. But I'm also like,
are we teaching her two different sides? Like I want
(03:23):
her to be the same gigi, you know what I mean,
that's all be on the same page. And don't even
get me started with the sugar and the and the
feeding her.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
I am not strict.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Okay, she can have a cookie, she can have bread whatever.
My mom will sit there and like feed her sugar
like like in her mouth, and I'm like, Mom, we
said we're not trying to give her sugar if we
don't have to. Okay, a birthday cake. We're going to
a birthday party. She can have a piece of cake
right a bite, But my mom will go pick up
a cake and bring it home to her, like, we
don't need to be feeding her sugar on purpose.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
So she's not at well, she can't really ask for it.
She's not old enough yet. This is just your mom
freestyling this, yes, because she thinks she'll like it.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
She thinks she'll like it.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
And Gigi was caught also coloring on her walls at
the house, like there was some uh crayons on Bobcha's
walls when I did that?
Speaker 4 (04:10):
Can I just say that I hadn't seen the day
the light of day for weeks, But when Gigi does it,
it's so cute and it's adorable and everything's okay, everyone's great.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
So how do you moderate that as a parent? Eight
five five five nine one one of three five So
I get ahold of us? You can call it text
the same number because I mean, you're not going to
block access to your your parents, I guess for your
for your kids, right, their grandkids and grandparents are going
to be grandparents because that's what they're supposed to do,
and grandparents are also probably don't want to get involved.
(04:43):
They think they wanted to be a happy, fun place.
They don't want to be disciplining and yelling at your
kids and telling them whatever. But at the same time,
you don't want your kid to learn to color on
the wall at you know, Bobja's house and then go
back to your house. And because maybe they're too young
to understand the difference between So maybe sugar fine, like
you just don't feed it to her. But then behaviorally,
(05:04):
you know, there's stuff that you probably are trying to
instill in her not to do that. If she goes
over there and does it, then you have a problem. Yeah,
it's going to be on the same page. You know.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
I feel like we're teaching her two different things that
I'm not a strict parent, you know, I'm typedeb mom
to the court Like in my house it is a
fun place.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Okay, I'm not prison, but I'm.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Also like nice. Yeah, I love that.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
I'm also just trying to be on the same page
as all the grandma's you know.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
And how how are you supposed to tell your parents
don't do it your way?
Speaker 3 (05:31):
It doesn't work.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
You can't do that, then they won't listen if you did. So, Hey, Susie, Hello,
Hi Susie, good morning. So there's your mom sort of
straightened you out on this.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
She did, because what happens at grandma stays at grandma's
and she told me off.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
And that's how it was. I feel that.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Okay, So what were your complaints, like, what were what
were the issues? Like? Your kid would come home and
hear she.
Speaker 5 (05:56):
Was doing what it's oh say, she was in his
pajamas all day. They didn't get dressed, they ate what
they wanted.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Uh, nap time went.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Kind of out the window.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
I mean, the disrupted their whole day. And that's what
grandmas are supposed.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
To do, yeah, because it's like it's every day, right.
So then they come back to your house and yeah,
there's a little bit of adjustment, but they look forward
to going to grandma's house, which is what they're That's
what the grandparents are trying to do, right, They're trying
to make their place seem like the place that you
want to be and hangout.
Speaker 5 (06:29):
Right.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
So that's the point.
Speaker 5 (06:31):
Was part of that.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Yeah, that's the point, all right.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
So your mom straining you out, she just said, hey, hey, look, Susie,
I don't want to hear it exactly. Yeah, don't hear that.
I think thank you have a good day too. I mean,
it's it's grandparent. I mean, but the thing is, like,
this is what your grandparents did for you, So then
why is it that now, all of a sudden, your
kid can't have it because it's inconvenient to you.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
I mean, yeah, okay, I'm so grateful that my mom
is able to do this for Gigi, and that she lives,
you know, five minutes from me, and that we can
go pull up to our house there any second. That's
a blessing. I only ask just let's follow my rules.
I'm not even a rule kind of lady. I just
do believe that babies and little kids in a little
bit of structure, and if we can all be on
the same page, I'd be great. But my mom told
(07:19):
me off too, and Marta said, I am grandma, and
she goes, this.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Is what we do.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Well, that's the other thing. It's free. It's you get
what you pay for. Girl, Like, the kid is going
to be saved. The kid's not gonna choke at anything,
the kid's not gonna like nothing bad's gonna have. But
it's gonna be a little sugar hie. And you're not
paying for it, so you don't get to mandate with free,
free is.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Free, well grandma is free childcare. But I also do
get to call the rules a little bit, don't you think, No, I.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Kylie, Hi, you having the same struggle as Paulina.
Speaker 6 (07:48):
Hi.
Speaker 5 (07:48):
Yes, I am Hi, Paulina. I just had a sign
last July gulation one thank you. And it's not my
Baron's first grandchild. My older sister has a three year
old son, so they've been navigating this the same thing,
(08:08):
but my sister is definitely much more laid down. The
law sets the boundaries, and I guess it's easier for
me because I'm a little farther away. My parents are
in Connecticut and I live in Raleigh, North Carolina, so
you know, yeah, it's a little bit of a distance there.
So I don't like see them all the time. But
(08:30):
when we do see them, or when we face time
or we interact around the holidays, they say a lot
of these terms that I don't really like using around
my son. Like they'll say like, oh, you're such a
good boy. Have you been such a good boy, and
it's like he's a baby. Of course he's a good boy.
Like the way they talk to him is just not
(08:52):
my favorite, and I already know that if I was,
you know, not with him and they were watching him,
they would get and slices of cake and sugar all
the time.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
But I guess it's like you can, you can fly
back on that. But I don't know, this is this
is just what this is what, this is a relationship, like,
this is a dynamic. This is what's supposed to And again,
it's not like it's, hey, come over here and play
with scissors, you know. It's it's like, yeah, come over,
come over to Nana's house and we can have ice cream,
because that's what Nana's gonna do exactly, you know.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
Yeah, but I've seen the unhealthy habits my parents have
and I don't have the same unhealthy habits, like specifically
with food. And people talk about how like addicting sugar is,
and I just feel like we don't need to be introducing,
like if we're talking about the food situation specifically, we
don't need to be introducing sugar at such a young age.
(09:47):
They'll have their whole life to go eat all the
candy and sugar they want. But you know, at such
a young age, when they don't even know what they're
asking for, we don't need to just be handing them
like Shoda and sugar and cake.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
You wait till they introduce them to Heroin. Now that's wild.
That's going to be a wild time. Okay, Hey, I
hear what you're saying, and thank you for calling it,
thank you for listening. Have a great day.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
Thank God.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
No, I mean I get it, like it must be frustrating,
But at the same time, it comes from a place
of love. It's not like I don't think it's necessari hopefully,
Like when my parents got divorced and I would go
over to my father's house and it was like, basically
it was, hey, what does your mom not want you
to do? Like what will your mom not let you have?
Let's go get it right now. And that was out
(10:30):
of spite.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
This is a love yeah, Pee.
Speaker 6 (10:33):
I have to say now that my friends are having
kids of their own, two of my best friend's moms
have come to me and said, hey, you had a
really close relationship with your grandma.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Can you give me some.
Speaker 6 (10:43):
Advice on how to have that with my grandkids, which
honor of a lifetime. But I tell them it was
built on secrets between us, like we were doing naughty
stuff together that eventually turned into drinking buddies.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
But when I was young, it was the sugar.
Speaker 6 (10:56):
It was the taking me shopping the stuff, you know,
And I'm like, it was built up.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
That's a blessing, yeah, and I love that.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
I also think it's different generations too, because my grandparents
came from a time. I mean they were like thirties, forties, fifties,
you know, like I'm talking nineteen.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Yeah, we're talking one hundred years ago.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Basically one hundred years ago. Honestly, my grandparents died in
you know, five six years ago. They were ninety two
years old, ninety one, ninety two, and I think they
it might be different now than it was then because
in some ways my grandparents were more stern in in
other ways they were more loving and not loving but
loving in a different way. So it was fun time,
like we did fun stuff, but in other ways, you
(11:34):
didn't disappoint my grandfather and you didn't talk back to
my grandmother either. And I wonder if now it's like
the boundaries are looser, or it's it's just more laid
back than it used to be. So like it was
easier maybe for my mom to say sure, because she
knew that Nanagi Dad were gonna like hold it down.
You know, there was a line, but it was fun
but like to like, yeah, maybe a little more ice cream.
(11:55):
But then also like you're gonna be in bed and
you're gonna be you know when I was older, you're
gonna be home by a certain time because there was
that respect. I wonder if it's like because in some
ways my parents were more laid back than they were,
and I think you're talking about a generation now where
maybe it's like I don't know, maybe maybe it's gone
the other way where older people are more are more
(12:15):
laid back. She's like whatever, you know what I mean,
I do.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
That's the thing with my mom.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
I love her so much, Ado, but I know that
she's in her grandma era and Marta has always been
done doing what she wants, like that's never been you're
not changing that.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
You're not changing Marta. So I think Gigi's very lucky
to have her.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
But grandparents, if you're listening, if a parent, you know,
if your child is asking you please, let's not give sugar,
you know, a whole box of oreoles.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Like maybe let's not compromise, let's compromise.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Somebody said, Paulin in a good luck with that. I
had my rules, my boundaries, and she picked and chose
what she honored. This is a text what she honored.
She also lives five minutes away and it was free.
Trust me, she'll be okay. Minor eighteen plus and now
it's all good. So look, did they make it to eighteen?
It will be fine. A more Fred show next

the same page, I'd be great. But my mom told
(07:19):
me off too, and Marta said, I am grandma, and
she goes, this.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Is what we do.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Well, that's the other thing. It's free. It's you get
what you pay for. Girl, Like, the kid is going
to be saved. The kid's not gonna choke at anything,
the kid's not gonna like nothing bad's gonna have. But
it's gonna be a little sugar hie. And you're not
paying for it, so you don't get to mandate with free,
free is.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Free, well grandma is free childcare. But I also do
get to call the rules a little bit, don't you think, No, I.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Kylie, Hi, you having the same struggle as Paulina.
Speaker 6 (07:48):
Hi.
Speaker 5 (07:48):
Yes, I am Hi, Paulina. I just had a sign
last July gulation one thank you. And it's not my
Baron's first grandchild. My older sister has a three year
old son, so they've been navigating this the same thing,
(08:08):
but my sister is definitely much more laid down. The
law sets the boundaries, and I guess it's easier for
me because I'm a little farther away. My parents are
in Connecticut and I live in Raleigh, North Carolina, so
you know, yeah, it's a little bit of a distance there.
So I don't like see them all the time. But
(08:30):
when we do see them, or when we face time
or we interact around the holidays, they say a lot
of these terms that I don't really like using around
my son. Like they'll say like, oh, you're such a
good boy. Have you been such a good boy, and
it's like he's a baby. Of course he's a good boy.
Like the way they talk to him is just not
(08:52):
my favorite, and I already know that if I was,
you know, not with him and they were watching him,
they would get and slices of cake and sugar all
the time.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
But I guess it's like you can, you can fly
back on that. But I don't know, this is this
is just what this is what, this is a relationship, like,
this is a dynamic. This is what's supposed to And again,
it's not like it's, hey, come over here and play
with scissors, you know. It's it's like, yeah, come over,
come over to Nana's house and we can have ice cream,
because that's what Nana's gonna do exactly, you know.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
Yeah, but I've seen the unhealthy habits my parents have
and I don't have the same unhealthy habits, like specifically
with food. And people talk about how like addicting sugar is,
and I just feel like we don't need to be introducing,
like if we're talking about the food situation specifically, we
don't need to be introducing sugar at such a young age.
(09:47):
They'll have their whole life to go eat all the
candy and sugar they want. But you know, at such
a young age, when they don't even know what they're
asking for, we don't need to just be handing them
like Shoda and sugar and cake.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
You wait till they introduce them to Heroin. Now that's wild.
That's going to be a wild time. Okay, Hey, I
hear what you're saying, and thank you for calling it,
thank you for listening. Have a great day.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
Thank God.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
No, I mean I get it, like it must be frustrating,
But at the same time, it comes from a place
of love. It's not like I don't think it's necessari hopefully,
Like when my parents got divorced and I would go
over to my father's house and it was like, basically
it was, hey, what does your mom not want you
to do? Like what will your mom not let you have?
Let's go get it right now. And that was out
(10:30):
of spite.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
This is a love yeah, Pee.
Speaker 6 (10:33):
I have to say now that my friends are having
kids of their own, two of my best friend's moms
have come to me and said, hey, you had a
really close relationship with your grandma.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Can you give me some.
Speaker 6 (10:43):
Advice on how to have that with my grandkids, which
honor of a lifetime. But I tell them it was
built on secrets between us, like we were doing naughty
stuff together that eventually turned into drinking buddies.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
But when I was young, it was the sugar.
Speaker 6 (10:56):
It was the taking me shopping the stuff, you know,
And I'm like, it was built up.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
That's a blessing, yeah, and I love that.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
I also think it's different generations too, because my grandparents
came from a time. I mean they were like thirties, forties, fifties,
you know, like I'm talking nineteen.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Yeah, we're talking one hundred years ago.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Basically one hundred years ago. Honestly, my grandparents died in
you know, five six years ago. They were ninety two
years old, ninety one, ninety two, and I think they
it might be different now than it was then because
in some ways my grandparents were more stern in in
other ways they were more loving and not loving but
loving in a different way. So it was fun time,
like we did fun stuff, but in other ways, you
(11:34):
didn't disappoint my grandfather and you didn't talk back to
my grandmother either. And I wonder if now it's like
the boundaries are looser, or it's it's just more laid
back than it used to be. So like it was
easier maybe for my mom to say sure, because she
knew that Nanagi Dad were gonna like hold it down.
You know, there was a line, but it was fun
but like to like, yeah, maybe a little more ice cream.
(11:55):
But then also like you're gonna be in bed and
you're gonna be you know when I was older, you're
gonna be home by a certain time because there was
that respect. I wonder if it's like because in some
ways my parents were more laid back than they were,
and I think you're talking about a generation now where
maybe it's like I don't know, maybe maybe it's gone
the other way where older people are more are more
(12:15):
laid back. She's like whatever, you know what I mean,
I do.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
That's the thing with my mom.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
I love her so much, Ado, but I know that
she's in her grandma era and Marta has always been
done doing what she wants, like that's never been you're
not changing that.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
You're not changing Marta. So I think Gigi's very lucky
to have her.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
But grandparents, if you're listening, if a parent, you know,
if your child is asking you please, let's not give sugar,
you know, a whole box of oreoles.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Like maybe let's not compromise, let's compromise.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Somebody said, Paulin in a good luck with that. I
had my rules, my boundaries, and she picked and chose
what she honored. This is a text what she honored.
She also lives five minutes away and it was free.
Trust me, she'll be okay. Minor eighteen plus and now
it's all good. So look, did they make it to eighteen?
It will be fine. A more Fred show next
