Speaker 2 (00:22):
Welcome back to another episode about My Bad Mum podcast.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
Sometimes I feel like I need to change up the
intro a little bit.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Someone said to me the other day or the other
week I think it was, and they were like, imagine
if you started it, and I was like, I balk
it it every time. I go, oh, I can't start that.
That's not me, that's not my place, that's my role,
that's not my role. And then I sort of like,
you know, you practice it, and I was like, it
doesn't even sound the same. Can't even sound the same.
I'd have to probably sing my way into it or
something like that. Well, I just wanted to touch base
(00:56):
with the fact that I don't know if you can
see my pants. Yes, do you remember these? Look at this, Katie.
If you're a true mum from our age, Yeah, yeah
you remember these?
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Yes, clip pants. Yeah, they're back. They look very comfy.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
They're so comfortable, and Elsie was like, mom, I love
your pants. I was like, I get it. I used
to love my clip pants too when I was when
were the clip pants in like nineteen ninety Isn't.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
It funny because obviously it just it's just recirculating even
when scrunchies came came back. Also, our kids obviously they
don't remember the first time around, or you know, probably
the tenth time around.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Yeah yeah, maybe it's and it's only our second.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
They're all recycled.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
But it's funny how our kids think it's like a
brand new thing.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
I know. But that's what I loved about it, because
she's like, Mom, I love your pants and I'm thinking, mate,
I used to unclip them all the way up to
the top here. Yeah, like full spice girl. Yes, you know,
the spice girl. But these these might be a little
bit more fine, so they only go to the knee,
a little bit more Mum conservative from country road. But
(02:03):
looks like them looks like they go to the top,
but they're not.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
But they're just fake buttons.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Yeah, these are just fake. You're a mom that I
hide that.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Am I had Mum for enjoying them getting it wrong.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
This gives me actual joy.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
This is actually not dissimilar from what we were just
talking about in terms of things being old fashioned and
then coming.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Background again kind of things.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
So Amelia was talking to me about this guy, so
she used the word fit.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Oh yeah, okay, So.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
She was like, he's really fit.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
And then she jumped in with, oh, by the way,
that's gen Z language for hot.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
I went, oh no, And then I really enjoyed.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Saying this because I went, ha ha, No, it was
always fit in the day, we always used to use
the word fit.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
That's not gen d that's very millennial.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Not being new right now. And you didn't also need
to just give me a little hate.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
That's a dick. Yeah, that was a dig. Yeah, because
I get that a lot. Oh mum, you're so millennial.
And I'd used that the other way round.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Recently, when the girls were talking about how one of
their friends was smoking cigarettes semi formal after party, and
I thought about it for a second and I was like,
how do I make that really uncool? And I turned
around to them and went, How'm millennial of her? She
was smoking cigarettes?
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Howm millennial?
Speaker 1 (03:36):
I know? And then you have that moment and you're like,
rather probably smoke cigarettes than vapes, So sure, yeah, do.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
You know that apparently vapes are so toxic that they're
not supposed to go into landfill.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Yeah, I've told you before. What I've said to my
girl is like nothing like scare mungering, But I was like,
when you pick up a vabe and your friends say
just try it, it tastes like strawberry. I said, what I
want you to picture, like, really envision it. Close your
eyes and envision at putting that can of martine in
your mouth and then just spraying it in your lungs.
I was like, because that's what you're doing, oh mom?
(04:12):
And I was like, no, that is what you were doing.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Yeah, I mean, if mortine smelt like strawberries, that's what
you're doing. Yeah. I've read a lot about and I'm
certainly not encouraging anyone just starts making cigarettes if they don't.
But at least with cigarettes you have the ability to
rejuvenate your lungs if you stop, Whereas I think once
(04:36):
you vaped, the damage is.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Done and repair it.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
So I've heard anyway, I mean, I'm an expert, I'm
not a scientist.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Do you want to really go down that track? Because
you know what I was talking about with my girls
that is not repairable.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
I don't even don't start talking about alcohol in your liver.
I don't want to hear that.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
No, it was actually about babies, but my child is
such a funny conversation and it was only the three
of us girls at the dinner table, but I had
that same conversation where I was like, yeah, but you
know what, those muscles around your vagina, they're repairable, they
bounce back. You can restrengthen those. I was like, but
the ones in your bottom, you can't restrengthen those, So
(05:17):
you can't have a baby out of your bottom?
Speaker 3 (05:20):
What hell?
Speaker 1 (05:24):
We somehow got into like who wants to have kids?
Who doesn't want to have kids? And I'm sitting there going,
obviously you're ten and twelve. I was like, can we
just let's talk about this in twenty years? No rush, Like,
let's talk about it when you're thirty or something, you know,
like twenty eight thirty. Oh mom, you were you were
twenty eight when you had me. Like I was like, yeah, okay,
let's talk about it when you're twenty six. Let's not
(05:45):
talk about it now. No one's having kids.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Early.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
One of them turns to me, he goes, I want
to have a baby, but I don't want to have
it out of my vagina, And I thought, where the
fuck is it going to come from other than the
And I was waiting for her to just go I'm
gonna have it like you, I'm gonna have it to
cut out of my tummy. And then she goes and
I don't want it to be cut out of my
tummy because that just scares me so much. And I
went when I just laughed out loud. I was like, well,
(06:08):
where are you expecting the child to pop out from
like this? And she goes at my bottom and I
was like, obviously the other one was laughing her head off.
But I did lead down to the road of going
vagina muscles bounce back, but your bottom muscles don't, So
don't do that. That's irreparable, Like it's a.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Choice, just on that.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
How nice that they are still at the stage where
they will talk to you about that stuff though I
know I'm embarrassing, mom, don't talk about that.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
I know that there will be a time. And this
is like, you know, obviously coming from other moms with
like older kids, older girls in particular, as well, like
the in between age of like mine and yours sort
of going like there is a distinct age where it
all starts to drop off a little bit, like where
you are actually so uncool. Yeah, and no way I
(07:00):
would ever talk to mum about that, And that's probably
one part where I go. I really look forward to
that part. I know that I'll have to do some
work around my self esteem.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Then, yeah, you feel shit about yourself.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Yeah, I was like, you go from being like hot property, Yes, mum,
you're cool. I want to see it. I want to
chat with you. Let's have a laugh about such random
things that probably are highly irresponsible of being a mum
talking to your daughters about but then to nothing. Yeah,
not needed.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Nah, you really do have to do some work on yourself.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Yeah, what you do with your time when you don't
have anyone to talk to. That's what I'm going to
be like Katie. I'll just be like I'm sitting there
at the dinner table and they both won't talk, and
then I'll just be like, no, wonder people talk.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Talk At one point, they will talk. Eventually, it will be.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Eleven pm where you want to be asleep, and then
they'll tell you about the whole entire day. What's happening
with friendship groups, what happened at school, everything. I'll tell
you everything, but it won't be at a time you
want it to be.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Sam tends to be the same. I will be a
asleep and then be absolutely annihilated from the day of
what it was. Plus I would have gotten up at
four point thirty to train like all of the above
in the one day, and then comes in and wakes
you to want to talk No, and then makes you
(08:22):
feel bad for not wanting to talk. I just wanted
to talk about the day.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
While you're asleep.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
I'm sorry, Katie through the room.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
The room.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
See I'm seeing you get it? He goes, oh, like
storms out. Oh, this is on you. You're not communicating.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
I'm asleep. I'm asleep.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
I've got a very strict don't wake me up for
all in my house. Moms deserve to sleep when they
can sleep.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
They need to be just to sleep.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
I do things around the house that might slam things.
Slammy Slammerson comes out, especially if you've fucked with my sleep.
So now I'm gonna fuck with yours.
