Speaker 1 (00:10):
I heard podcasts him or Mix one or two point
three podcasts, playlists and listen live on the free iHeart app.
Sometimes when you do a bad thing as a parent, well,
I don't know about you, but I immediately will call
my best friend, another mum friend and unleash and then
she'll make you feel better.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
You look for assurances elsewhere.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Yeah, you can't just keep it to yourself because you
feel sick and guilty. So what we're doing right now
is that someone in this room has done a bad,
bad thing as a parent, and we are giving him
that opportunity to tell us, to make us, to make
him feel better.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
I don't have any children, and there's only one other
hymn in this studio, right. I mean, I have these
terrible parenting moments because you just get to the end
and your snap and then the guilt lingers for one
to three business days.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
It's awful, but then it goes and then you do
it again.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Yeah, I had one the other night. I was so tired. Obviously,
getting up early with this job makes you just exhausted,
and there's a lot going on, and putting my daughter
Sophia who's four to bed and four year olds don't
just love to fall asleep on their own most of
the time. So we're laying with her every night, which
sometimes I love, and sometimes it's a total drag. And
(01:22):
I'm laying there and she likes to fall asleep on me,
so she's laying on my arm and then my godly birdly,
and then the breathing changes and you go, oh my god,
this is my cue to get out. And then you
move the arm and she wakes up and sits up
in bed and goes, where are you going? And then
it's a whole another twenty minute process of her getting It's.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Actually like Mission Impossible, Tom Cruise, where you're trying to
literally move so quietly out so they slink out of
the room so they don't know, and then a.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Floorboard creaks something like that. It's so annoying, and they
don't want to miss out at anything.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
No, they wake up and you just see their eyes open, yeah,
like the devil.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Yeah. And so she'd had like two minutes of sleep
and that was enough to keep her awake for another
half an hour. Anyway, she was just crazy and wouldn't
go to sleep, and then she's like latching onto me
and then she fake heavy breathe and I'm like, oh,
now she's out. She was fake going to sleep, heavy
breathing child so much. So I walk out to Laura
and my partner situation woman and I'm like, I can't
(02:21):
do this. I'll do this. She's like, calm down. I
go back into her room, and so Fear's just standing
in the middle of the room like looking at me
like she's a possessed little devil.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
She's like Annabelle.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Yes clowns from a horror I doesn't have a twin
with her long hair hanging down.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
And I pick her up. I don't know if I
should say this, and I body slam her into the
bed and I say, go to bed.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
You will go to sleep or I will put you
to sleep. And your body slam is a very tall
body slam. Yeah, CAFs and docks if you're listening, Okay,
hang on. So did she then just lie down and goes?
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Lauren had to go lay with there, because of course,
your kid's not going to go to sleep when their
little heart is racing. After you've just yelled it.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
You just frightened her. Okay, tell me, at what point
did you start feeling guilty?
Speaker 3 (03:10):
The second after I walked out of the room and
I went back and I said, Daddy loves you very much.
I'm sorry, I always do. You've got to do the
correction right. You've always got to like make it good
even after you lose.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
You know what it is, though, we don't body slam
people that you're so calm and you got this, and
can you do that? Can you just get your shoes
on or whatever you're trying to get them to do,
and then it just gets to a point that you
cannot hold it together anymore and you have to unleash
you Hailey. Oh yes, of course we've all we've all
(03:41):
been there. But my worst parenting moment I'm going to
tell you about it in a second. It's actually not
with my kid. It's with Sophia Burjoe. It's with your daughter.
She loves you, I know, but something happened about three.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Years ago and she was a baby.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
When she was a baby with myself and your partner situation, Lauren,
and we both made a pat We're not going to
tell you.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Department of Child Services Sofia.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Sofia is an.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
She doesn't remember it.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
I'm going to tell you my worst parenting moment. And
it wasn't with my boys. It was with your child, Sofia,
And it was when she was about maybe eight months old.
I Reckon and Lauren and I so your partner, the
mother of your child, were filming on a balcony and
(04:30):
we were like, do you know what, God, it's so
hard trying to you know, it's hard working with kids
and trying to work and juggle everything.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
And we put Sofia in the middle of the bed
and thought, you should be fine. She's only young, she
won't go anywhere. So we went out. She was or sleep,
she was awake, she was fine. How high up is
this balcony? You just so I can picture it. The
balcony is quite high, and the bed was also quite high.
It was one of those high beds and kids.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
At eight months are rolling and.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Crawling, okay, So in my heart I was like, because
I've got kids, I was like I probably wouldn't do that,
but you know, you don't want to tell another mom
what to do, and so I was like, yeah, let's
us do it.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Whatever.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
So it was a really quick video, went out into
the balcony and then all of a sudden we heard.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
And your little baby girl had rolling off the bed ah,
and we were so panicky. She's so fine bird, But
we both said, let's not dell bird. Why because you
would have panicked and you didn't need to know him.
And we're like just checking her for bruises. And then
the next day we're like, oh my god, ha, you
got a broken leg cushion. No, she her head was fine.
(05:40):
I think she hasn't slept well. Said, oh my god.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
I don't even know what to say. I can tell
a parent if there's safety concerns involved, you absolutely can
speak out.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Give us your worst parenting moments.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
On thirteen one or two three, Jacqueline and Elizabeth downs,
what happened when your kids were very little?
Speaker 4 (05:58):
Good morning. I was in the back playing with my children,
and so I were jumping on the trampoline. I was
wedding them with the hose because it was a stinging
hot day, and I thought, well, let him play, and
I sat back on the porch and watched them, and
there was a snake under the trampoline and I got up.
I thought, no, I'm seeing things. So I thought, no,
(06:19):
I better go and have a close to look. Yeah,
it was a red belly so I got up and
I bolted getting my children, slamming the back door shut.
And then a couple of minutes later, I've forgotten something
and I looked out at the Benetian blind and my
children are on the trampoline, none of them either. Terrible. Yes,
(06:40):
I felt terrible, and I went out and I'm like
boys to stay calm, and called the neighbor next door,
who was a snake catcher. Thank goodness, how fortunate. And
he come over and he's got children are on a
trampoline and there's a snake. And I'm like, yeah, and
I forgot them, and he's like, oh, dear me, just.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Get in the trampoline.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
They were too young to understand. They wouldn't even didn't
even realize because I didn't tell them until after, and
they just thought Mom was.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Crazy because you're busy saving yourself.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
Yeah, I'm forgetting my poor children. I felt terrible for days.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Oh don't feel terrible, do you know what we've all
been there.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
All that year. I didn't get a birthday's present from
my children. My birthdays next week, so fair enough,
I heard podcasts him or Mix one or two point
three podcasts, playlists and listen live on the free iHeart app.
