Speaker 1 (00:28):
Children have the most stupidest meltdowns ever.
Speaker 4 (00:32):
Yeah, Yeah, And I've got we've got sort of double
meltdowns happening at the moment, because Sienna's eleven months and
she has meltdowns about ridiculous things. But then, but I
expected better from Raf who's five and he's turning six,
and in fact, it was about his birthday that we
had the meltdown. So I picked him up in the
afternoons from school every hour, I pick him up on
an electric scooter and I've got little handlebars down the
(00:54):
front hold on too, So he's holding onto the handlebars
down there, and I've got these handlebars. That's so cute. Yeah,
And we've got you know, we're both wear helmets obviously
and stuff, and we and we're head on home and
so we have our chats after school. Chats will be
on the scooter.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
What's you know, what have you been up to? Norton?
Speaker 4 (01:12):
Nothing never tells me anything. And but then he's getting
excited about his birthday. It's in July, July twenty four,
but he's getting excited now and talks about it almost
every day. And I said, well, before that, we got
Sienna's birthday and he said, yeah, we're gonna have cake.
I said, yeah, we'll have cake. And I said, and
there's another birthday before that, and he's realized it's my
birthday and he said, what what cake you going to have?
(01:35):
And I said, well, my favorite cake is banana cake, right,
and then I just like in front of me, I
could hear.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
There's mouth, he's water.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
I love cake.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
Anyway, there's a shuddering in front of me on the scooter.
I can see there's little this little head sort of
shaking it and he's like, I'm.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
What's happening.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
I don't want banana cake.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
I don't like it.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
I don't like banana cake. And I'm going, but it's
my birthday time like right, full melt down on the scooter,
tears and he cried for like the entire trip, crying
about me. I said, it's my birthday. I'm allowed to
have whatever cake I want. So and I'm such an
(02:22):
idiot that I double down and go no way we're
having anything.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
This is what I'm trying to get my head around.
I'm like, this is such an easy get out of jail.
I know, I Naomi.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
As soon as we get in the house, like we
walking out, he's still crying.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
She's like, what's happening.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
He goes, Dad's having banana cake for his birthday, and
she goes, I'll just get your chocolate cupcake and he goes, oh, okay.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
And that's all fit, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
Everything's fine?
Speaker 2 (02:50):
But what a stupid meltdown about someone else's birthday a
month fare that he's not having his favorite cake.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Okay, I reckon, I can beat it. Yeah, I reckon.
I care, but I'm interested to see if other people can.
And the only way that I could stop this meltdown
was to have my own on the floor in the
middle of coals.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
Let's get to that and whatever you've got thirty one day,
six fives our number, Kimberly.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
First, I understand that now no kids, I don't realize.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
So, Kimberly, you've got a two year old? What happened?
Speaker 3 (03:28):
He's actually eight now, but two he was obsessed with
my vacuum cleaner. Nobody else was allowed to use it
but him, and if I had your audacity to one
of vacuum he would let me know about it.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Ridiculous And what's the bet now at age eight, he
wants nothing to do with that vacuum cleaner.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Do you know what? He's actually my best help now? Ah,
so it actually worked out, Helper.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Yeah, okay, I don't know how you made that happen,
But whatever your secret is, can you share it with
the rest.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Of the world. I got lucky.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
Yeah, yes, thirteen one day, six five. I know, Robin,
you've got a melt down story, Shayla. By the way,
he's texted through to say I stand with RAFFI I
would cry too. There was banana cake comb fair.
Speaker 5 (04:17):
Enough, I do remember.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
It was Cole's ken Moore. And the only person who
I think has ever done it tougher that I've watched
is Laura Geites, who also shops at Cole's Kenmer ken Moore.
But she has one extra child to me, so she's
got four. But I used to have to take the
three of my boys. They were I think there were
like two, four and six, and the thing with little
boys where they'd always like to egg each other on
(04:39):
so whoever's going to melt down, then the other two
are trying to facilitate, right, And we had this moment
where the youngest one was hell bent on getting every
single apple that he could get his hands on, and
he was in one of those seats at the front
of a trolley. Oh yeah, yeah, so he wanted to
try the apple before we bought it.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
I just have a bite, yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
So he was taking and his two older brothers were
providing said apples. So no matter where I was in,
Cole's kids would run up with a new apple.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
He'd have a biker that's a good one.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
And they try and run them back.
Speaker 5 (05:16):
No, you can't do this.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
So the littlest one was absolutely losing it, and so
I had to take him out of the front of
the trolley because I thought he'd hurt himself. So he's
lying on the ground pummeling his fists to which one
the middle one, Lewin was like, oh, that seems like
a good idea, so gets down with him. Why And
(05:41):
the only way I could stop it was I got
down there too. They were so shocked.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
You had a tantrum.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
I had a full blown hands and fists just going
When was it.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
That would have been good.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
Actually it was last.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
We Wendy out of forest like the kid belt down.
What happened?
Speaker 5 (06:09):
Yeah, I got Yeah. So my daughter and her friend
we're playing one morning at my place and one of
them started as two year olds can do. I just
turned around and said, oh, who was that? And my
daughter goes, oh, it was me, and her little friend
said no, no, it was me. This led into a
whole full of who was the owner of had two
(06:36):
little girls on the ground throwing canda, my god, what
do I do with this?
