Speaker 1 (00:25):
Yeah, they talk better than the excited.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
These are the radio blogs on the Freddy I'm writing
in our diaries, except we see him aloud.

Speaker 1 (00:33):
We call them blogs. Paulina go yes, thank you so much,
dear blog.

Speaker 3 (00:37):
So today a lot of ladies here at the Old
I Hurt Chicago. We are going to a event for
the YEWCA located here in Chicago.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
They're a great organization. To look them up.

Speaker 3 (00:47):
They have a leader luncheon happening every year and we
were all there inspired to attend. You know, it's a
great bonding experience which also like to you know, support
a really great cause. So one thing about me is
if I forget, which is very often that something is
happening at a certain time.

Speaker 1 (01:05):
I will then make sure that I figure it out
because I always figure it out.

Speaker 3 (01:09):
But I figured it out in the most Paulina way ever,
and that is that I don't have an outfit.

Speaker 1 (01:14):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (01:15):
So Kaylin texted me this morning and she was like, hey,
don't forget, but we have our luncheon today. And I
responded and I wrote, oh no, and I wrote I
completely forgot. And that's not great either, because like now
I have to figure out child's care and it's during
her naptimes, the whole thing. I could probably figure it
out because I always do, but it's one of those moments.
And then I was like, well, I'm already in sweatpants
and like a Don Julio shirt, like I'm not owing

(01:37):
in this right and running shoes. I'm like, I'm not
going to a luncheon in this. So I told Kaylin.
I was like, what I could do is, and I've
done this before, is I can order my outfit from Target,
which Tucket's got great closes.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
I don't have it like DoorDash here or something or Target.
You know Circle ones art.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
Circle thirty five dollars a year and.

Speaker 4 (01:56):
They Target delivers I didn't know that you have your
member of their cool thing.

Speaker 1 (02:01):
I think you can pay for it too, but I
do pay for it.

Speaker 2 (02:03):
I did this recently. Was something I had to have,
but yeah, oh I joined circle. I need to cancel
it now because I don't don't. I don't need to
pay ten bucks a month for something else I'm gonna
forget about.

Speaker 3 (02:12):
I feel like mine was free when the second year
or something, because they're like, you want to renew this
for free?

Speaker 1 (02:15):
And I said absolutely.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
What I was more curious about, honest genuinely, is you
were saying that you didn't have a babysitter for Gigi
because your daughter, because you didn't remember this event, and
you were saying, can I just bring the daughter? And
I wonder I realized it's an all female event, and
I realized that you know, there are a lot of
mothers in there, and but like, can you just can
you just bring your kid to anything and not be judged?

(02:37):
That's a question, And even like, does do you have
a right to judge someone for bringing their kid to
just anything? Because you got to figure there are other
mothers in there too that had to figure it out
and aren't bringing their kids. So well, I genuinely wonder like, yeah, no,
same here. Can you just bring your kid to anything?
And then you just say, well, sorry, I didn't have childcare,
and and and if people or to look at you

(03:00):
a certain kind of way, would they be justified? Because
are there times where the kids are appropriate and are
there times where kids you're not. I'm not a mom,
I don't have kids, so I don't really think it's
appropriate for me to weigh in on this, but I
do wonder, like, can you just bring your kid to
anything because you forgot to get a babysitter or didn't
have anyone to watch her.

Speaker 3 (03:17):
I think about that often because I am a mom
of a eighteen month old, So we're in a stage
where like she won't just stay put in the stroller,
but she's also like I don't know, she's not three,
four or five where she's let's just say, you know,
running around trying to grab everything. She still kind of
stays near me and I can control her in that way.
But like, I feel like this is an empowering event,
So you know what's more empowering than a working mother? However,

(03:39):
I think it's about reading the room. So like, if
this is something that like, Okay, we're looking around the room.
It's it's I'm not feeling this out. You know, there's
too much going on, babies overstimulating me, she's crying whatever.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
Maybe maybe then we go home.

Speaker 3 (03:50):
We're like, I can still show up with her, I think,
to show support of being like I still came, even
though I didn't have child's care, I still came brought
my baby.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
But we're not going to be disruptive.

Speaker 3 (03:59):
If gjus have a meltdown or Gee's doing this or whatever,
we will leave. But if she falls asleep in the stroller,
which she will because it'll be about it'll be nap time,
then maybe it won't even be no one will even
bet an eye because she won't.

Speaker 1 (04:09):
You won't even hear her or see her.

Speaker 3 (04:11):
However, I don't want to be the odd girl out
with the stroller. And everyone else is there in their
cocktail dresses, you know or whatever. You know what I mean,
They're like, you know, they're cute outfits, and everyone's being
really serious and this is like an event, you know,
for women to really help them get into better places
in their lives. And then you know, we have like
a crying eighteen month old next to me. I just
don't want to be that person. But I feel like
as a mother, like would you really judge another mom

(04:33):
who still came out even though she didn't have childcares,
she didn't have anybody to watch her kids.

Speaker 4 (04:37):
It's probably the best place that you could do that
because it's a room full of women, and I feel
like the majority will be not all women, but will
get it. Yeah, I don't want them generalize, but I'm
not the one to ask because I think people's dogs
and babies should be brought everywhere and put on my lap.

Speaker 1 (04:53):
I love you for that so that I can sniff
them and hold them. Yeah, and I'm talking about sniffing
the baby and holding the dog.

Speaker 2 (04:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (04:59):
I'm curious and other like moms, weerever in the situation
or what they would do, because I feel like it's
not uncommon. But I also don't want to be like
judged or be that person that like, oh, she bought
her baby, like I got a sitter.

Speaker 1 (05:10):
I didn't you know, I didn't bring my kid. I
planned ahead.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
Yeah, because that's kind of what I wonder is like
would there be if it were like a I've heard
stories about a job interview or something where the sitter
canceled the last minute and they show up. It's like, go,
I need this job, and so the baby's here, and
then you hear cute stories about how other people at
the business will like, you know, take care of the
baby for the interview. But like if you forgot, if
you just weren't organized, can you just bring your kid anywhere?

(05:34):
And then if you were judged, would that be unfair
for other people to say like, well, this isn't the
venue for that, and like everybody else here had to
figure it out.

Speaker 1 (05:42):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (05:42):
I don't know the answer, but like here, if somebody
were to judge you for that, would they be justified?

Speaker 1 (05:48):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (05:48):
Because if if I'm the planner behind this event, right,
and I'm the one putting in the work, the effort,
the funds and everything to make this happen and bring
all these people together, and then there's one girl didn't
listen and had to bring her crying baby, Like I
as a mother too, I don't know how I would
feel about that.

Speaker 1 (06:02):
I put so much into this event.

Speaker 3 (06:03):
It's once a year, it's an hour and a half,
you know, like plan accordingly is what I would think
to tell people.

Speaker 1 (06:09):
But it's also mean I don't plan accordingly.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
You like, I don't know if I'm having a wedding
and it's for example, and this is you're right, this
is a different event. It's a female empowerment event. But
if I have a wedding and and you just forgot
to get a baby's heeter so you show up with
I'd be annoyed. I would be and I love you,
but I'd be like, but I mean, can you just
do that any time? I wonder can you just be off? Whoops?
And then you show up with your kid? Like I

(06:33):
think the answer is probably know, But you know, what
do I know? Pee? You gotta everything here has got
a calendar invite, Pee, you got to read them. There's
a calendar invite for like Cam, I was about to
go to the bathroom. There's a calendar invite. I was invited.
I declined, but it's there. It's there. You know. You
got to read the calendar. I phone more Fred show
