Speaker 2 (00:23):
Welcome back to another episode about I Bad Mum podcast
another term.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Yeah, I know.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
The next holidays are September October school holidays.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
I took the kids to the show on the weekend.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
I took them to what is our version of like
the show, it's a little bit more country the Samba Show.
And I gave them that prep of going, hey, Gracie,
you know how you were like schooling me about you've
never been to the Echo. So she gets a lift
with one of our friends, Christy, to school every few days.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
And Christy happened to message me and go back, your
daughter this morning was cracking up in the car. I
was like, oh gosh, what is it?
Speaker 4 (01:04):
She was banging on like the most what would the
word bed hard.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Dumb by under it?
Speaker 4 (01:11):
Like she's so underprivileged, whatever that would be like because
she's never been to the Echa.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
Now, for everyone listening, the Echa is.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
The actual I think it would be like the Brisbane Show,
the Royal Brisbane Show if.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
It's in comparison to everywhere else.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
And my children, yes, I'll own they are ten and
twelve and they have never been to the Echo the Echa.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
I've been many a time, yes too. Yeah, and it's horrible.
People love the Echo.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
I love it.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Yeah, either love it or you don't. Oh, there's nothing
in between. There's nothing in between two people.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
It's too I remember when the girls were younger and
you would say no to more than what you said
yes to.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
H Yes, everything's so expensive.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
There's rides as ponies everything.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Yeah, so get this on the weekend.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
Took them to the show and I've given them the
brief the night before. Mate, if I take you to this,
I don't even want to hear a peep.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
I got hustled to try and go to the mum. Please,
Oh my god, I can't believe you didn't tell us
it was on.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
I was like, I'll take you Sunday for a couple
of hours. Only do not mention the ecka. This will
be the same amount of money dropped. Don't tell me
that you've never been an echa, and don't school me
to other.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Parents mmm saying take me to the Echo. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
So I took them to that, Katie, Like, apart from
the fact that you've got to pay to get in
the gate, the most expensive I was twenty five dollars
a ride. One ride then we proceed round and I'd
fed the girls.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Now there's structuring behind this.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
Knowing me, you know that there's always got to be
a win for me if there's a win for them,
kind of vibe. I took them at eight thirty in
the morning. I fed them on the way. I was like,
let's get a hot chocolate and a bacon egg burger
on the way.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Then we get in.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
I said to them, you can go on like two
three rides max. Until I saw them charging twenty five
dollars a ride, I'll say, and you won't be going
on that.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Then we got to show bags. Can we talk about
showbags quickly?
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Showbags are so expensive.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
Remember birty beetle used to be two dollars fifty, it's
now twelve to fifty.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Same amount of shit in it.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
You can buy that shit from Camar. I've spoken about
this so many was fifty bag of plastic shit from Camar.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
So my agreeance was this one you get one twenty
bucks is max.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
Make it work. If you can't make it work, not
my problem. Elsie got two, which is fine. Did Welsh
picked the two she wanted twelve dollars eight dollars? Happy
days twenty bucks. Gracie, I want that one forty dollars.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Are you kidding me? No, I'm not buying that. That's
the only one I.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
Wanted, had all this plastic stuff I could have got
from anyway, forty dollars No, okay, well what about this?
I was like looking, and they've got a whole standard,
not that La Booboo doll, the ugly doll that everyone's got.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
It's for booboo.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
It's like the ripoff of the La Boo boo. So
she goes, oh, I want one of those twenty five dollars.
I said, you want that instead of a showbag? I said,
your sister's got two show bags for twenty bucks.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
No, that's what I want. Okay, right, oh get home.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
She goes, oh, I made the worst decisions.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
I always say to the girls, would you buy that
with your own money? And I'd say nine out of
ten times they'll go no. But then I'm like, well,
I'm not getting it.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
On top of all of that, we're leaving. It's eleven thirty.
I said, I'll be out of here by eleven thirty.
Any later you'll be walking home.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
And then the last thing as you go is like
a big slushy store. Do you know how much of
slushy was?
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Well, I'll tell you how much I think it should be.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
A slushy five dollars. Yeah, fifteen dollars for a slushy.
Bro go to seven eleven. I can get a large
for two dollars. Like what all they were?
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Dollar?
Speaker 2 (04:55):
It's fifteen dollars ice and preservatives. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
Dad, at that I was like fifteen dollars a girls, please,
And I was like, absolutely not.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
I have said yes to way more than what I
wanted to hear.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
I've dropped a bomb and now you ask me for
a fifteen dollars slushy.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
You're kidding yourself. All these kids walk around with a
fifteen dollars slashy.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
You're the one.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Your parents are fools. They got done. Am I a
bad mum for letting them watch it?
Speaker 4 (05:34):
Our house is like pretty on screen time right, been
very open about it, spoken about it many of times.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Now.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
When I say screen time, I'm talking devices. They get
to watch TVs. They have Netflix, they have every streaming
thing on that TV that you can think of. Disney
they've hustled from somebody else. I think they got another
one from all these logins from all my Based on.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
That, how do we end up with so many subscriptions?
Speaker 2 (06:00):
I devided to add them all up, you know, five
dollars here, dolls there.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
I mean, I'm like, you're broke. That's so much, so much,
and I don't know how to get rid of them.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
And also so much but never anything to watch.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
I know.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
I went on there the other day. They downloaded some
brand new movie thirty five dollars.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
What the fuck? Who said you can have this?
Speaker 1 (06:21):
We also should be sharing passwords? Everyone does it.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
I'm like, just can one?
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Why pay for every single one?
Speaker 4 (06:30):
Anyway, short story of this is I allow them to
do that.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
That's fine.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
They've got their own profiles on Netflix, are gone in
and there's this obsession with K pop now not only
do I have to listen to K pop music in
the car. For some that's wonderful, it's liberating. For me,
I do not find it liberating. I find it highly
repetitive and I want to turn it off. And I
go in and Elsie's in there watching K pop the
(06:56):
movie k Pop Demons.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
I think it's called.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
Very done up. You can see like everything is super skinny,
and what do you watch Oh it's Capop. It's just
a movie. You told me to put a movie on. Yeah,
but does this look like it's really good for your brain?
Speaker 3 (07:12):
I meant like, oh, like put Home Alone on or something.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Lelon Stitch.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
Now, I have watched this morph over the last month,
and all of a sudden something has clicked and changed
for Elsie Valentina And now we are in.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Front of a mirror a lot.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
This is my child that does not care, but now
we're in front of a mirror a lot. We found
a new hairstyle that we love. Like it's becoming obsessive.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
You know, when you.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
Watch your children change personality wise, we sort of morph.
We're starting to morph like it's ten going on twenty five.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Yeah, oh Katie, I feel.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
Like I'm out of control and I am blaming it
solely ONK pop, solely on capop.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
I've noticed K pop taking over to by the way,
Like I will often listen to just the Australian top
forty oh yeah, I forty to fifty whatever it is
just with some background music.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Every other song is K pop.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Every now and then I'm like I'm doing some.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
You're like THEE but you can't even just tolerate it.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
In the background, you're literally like triggers, like the whole Like,
what the fuck is this?
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Why are they singing the same thing over and over again?
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Yeah, it's too much, too much, it's too.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
The girls my girls got Oh, mom, how do he
even not know?
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Cats eye?
Speaker 3 (08:35):
What? What are you talking about? I don't consider myself
behind with that stuff.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
My mom was the most boring human being when it
came to music in the car. I'm talking like my
passion of disliking John Denver was just so strong as
a kid because that fucking music drove me nuts. My
mom was like, nope, I'm listening. I'm driving, you listen
to my music.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
It was horrible, Katie horrible.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
So I think it like and morphed my way of going, well,
that's fine, we'll listen. Everyone gets a song, like, we'll
just keep rotating between everyone's songs when you're going through
K pop days.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
I had my playlist on the other day. This was
Sunday afternoon rage.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
We had a roast cooking, I had a glass of little.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Something something, and.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
I had my playlist on Spotify. Both the girls what
the hell is this? It's my playlist it's horrible.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Excuse me, this is my I'm sitting there.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
I want to relax in my own lounge room on
my Sunday afternoon. Why does it always have to be
everything about you? They changed the music rage. She took
control of it on her own phone over road, my
phone playing Spotify through the speaker and then put their
stuff on.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
I was like, excuse me, okay, well, number one, you're
ruining my vibe. Number two, I'm now drinking more because
because of it.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Your music is sending me.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
I love Gabrielle and streams. I love it some of
my favorite songs. Look at me, baby bag you.
