Speaker 1 (00:01):
You're listening to the Robin Terrrian Kid podcast. So we've
got Sharon at Maxim Channel seven because tomorrow they're going
to be joining us at Kolanga State School.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
So fun we're going back to school. We're going to
do it over a couple of weeks, so you can
register your school if you still want to be a
part of it, but we're doing the first one tomorrow
and as.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Part of that, Ali our boss asked us to send
through some stuff from primary school day, so I sent.
I had to ask mum for photos from me from
bray Park Primary and I remember looking at this photo
from would have been about year four maybe, and remember
thinking how much I felt like a fat kid then,
(00:38):
and then looking at it, going, man, you were just
a normal kid.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Yeah, but in my head I was the fatest kid
in the class.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
And we talked about this just after the seven o'clock news,
and you were saying that the moment that it happened
for you may have been because of your grandma.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
I think, so I'm trying to remember.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
I do definitely remember that Grandma was a like a
constant sort of badger as far as like, oh you
shouldn't eat that you know, there was there was always
she was always at me about and even like you
call her up, you know when and go you go
hig grandma?
Speaker 3 (01:11):
How are you go good? How's your wait?
Speaker 2 (01:13):
No?
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Yeah, that would be like one of the first questions,
am I, we've got mum on the phone, am I, Hi.
I don't want to speak I don't want to speak
ill of Grandma because she's no longer here to defend herself.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
That's all very true, It's all correct. Yeah, is that
your mom Grandma? I had the grandma from the generation
before who was a foodie, right, yeah, and she was
my role model and she she sort of made food
a good thing, like it was all fun and excitement,
you know. So I had the reverse situation to you, kid.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Yeah, but that was that was like because as far
as I can remember, like you know, just from being
a kid, I always felt fat and I think and
maybe it might have even been Grandpa on Dad's side
as well, Grandpa Jack.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
He also would have a bit of a crack at.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
Me, I think. Unfortunately, we're the endo morphs of the world, Kip,
and we're an endo morph like the three body types, Kip,
you can be an endo morph you can be an exomorph,
which is skinny and long, which is what Paul and
your brothers are. Your brother and Lisa looks skinny. You know,
(02:26):
I think we got we got a different genetic thing.
I put a lot on that.
Speaker 5 (02:31):
Yeah, that's possible, but I also think that might be bs.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Mum.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Yeah, I was kind of gonna go, please don't. This
makes me feel uncomfortable because you have awesome human beings.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Yeah, both of you are amazing.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Yeah, but I feel like Mum has always had that
excuse for her and I.
Speaker 5 (02:46):
It's always like this is our body type, and I
feel like it's not.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Actually.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
I mean there's part of that, sure, but it's also
just that we don't, you know, necessarily eat.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
The right things or exercise properly.
Speaker 5 (02:58):
M could well be although to admit it, Sylvia.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Do you care that Kip is so upset by this? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (03:06):
I worry that it worries him. Yeah, because to me,
health is what it's all about, so much more than
just my wife.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
But what about your son?
Speaker 4 (03:16):
Yeah? Well I want him to be healthy in his
heart about it. I want him to feel good about
who he is. Yeah, So if it helped him, it
helps him. If it means a lot to him to
be lighter and thinner and feeling still good, you know,
mustly that's good. I'm glad for it.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Yes, it's a good thing because that's what That's definitely
where I you know, that's where I need to be
to feel good. You know, I need to be I
need to be fit, and I need to I need
to be thinner basically.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
And I don't think it's genetics, you know, because I
can't just blame you for that much. I think it's
I think it's choices that we make, and it is.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Yeah, yeah, it's definitely.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Do you based on just what we had? Do you
feel any like this this that's like such a loaded question,
but do you feel guilty about this? As all parents
do about their kids.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
I've probably gone through these sessions where I've thought, yeah, okay,
it's all about what we're eating, and I've made radical
changes and then found when you know, I have a
beautiful husband, I love Paul, but poor can eat carbs morning,
noon and night. I have no effect to whatsoever. And
(04:26):
you've seen that, Kip, you know what I'm talking about, right,
So that makes it very difficult in a family where
one sort of food is good for one and not
for the other. And that's why I think it sometimes
is food for some, you know, but not for others.
That's that's my query in it all.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Yeah, how are you feeling. You've got to look on
your face, mate, He's got to look on his face.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
I just feel like I've hearing a bit of BS
from Mum for a long time about this. Honestly, I
love you, Mum, but I feel like we've been pretending
that it's something else, and then there's someone else to
blame other than ourselves, and it's it's just not true.
The thing that I also want to stop, not only
what's happening, I want to stop what's happening with Raf,
because when I leave Maum alone with Raf, she feeds
(05:12):
him ship.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
I'm sorry, Mum, you do. I've seen you.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
I've seen you put butter on his croissants. They're made
of butter. You don't need to fatten him up.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
He's doing great, and let's and let's stop the cycle
of starting a fat kid, because once you're fat when
you're a kid, it's really hard to stop being fat
when you're an adult.
Speaker 5 (05:28):
I'm sorry, Mom, I'm not trying to attack you on it.
It feels like I am and I feel like I'm attacking.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
You and it's not what I'm trying to do.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Sounds good, She's on board.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Okay, good egg, Sylvia. That was a lot.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Thank you.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
Good on you guys. Have a good morning.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
You are you okay?
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (05:47):
Yeah, I am.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
I feel like I had a real crack at her then,
and I don't feel good about that. But I also
believe what I said.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Do you know what though, I actually think you just
had a moment like I actually just think, you know,
I hate to quote Oprah Winfrey, but like that was
you just actually spoke your true truth in that right that.
I'm very proud of you.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
And Mum just seems to ignore me when I say,
you know, because they look after Rafi every Monday and
I say, you know, he can't have chips for breakfast, Mum.
You know, I don't know why you're trying to feed
him up, like and just I'll see you ask for water,
He'll go, can I have a water?
Speaker 3 (06:17):
And she'll go, oh, get you a juice. He didn't
want juice.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
He wanted water, like it's the best thing you can drink.
So I sent her like, hey, you know, sorry that
went there.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
Ma.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
I hope you're okay, and she predictably sent a laughing
she clicked on the laughing thing and that's all I've
got so far.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
I hope she's all right.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
And also your girlfriend Naomi was sort of she's okay.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
She supportive, Yeah, she was, she said, she said, I
bet you that was hard, and I know that your
relationship with your mum that that would have been hard
and for both of you. But I also think what
you said was true.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
There you go, Yeah, how do you feel?
Speaker 3 (06:54):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (06:54):
I am glad.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
I hope. I hope it actually does cut through, because
I do feel like I mention it a lot to
her and it doesn't cut through, So I hope it
actually will make a difference. You're listening to the Robin,
