Speaker 5 (00:41):
So, yeah, yesterday Hucks had his little tops footy stuff
which is down there, just down the local footage ground.

Speaker 6 (00:47):

Speaker 2 (00:49):
Three? Four five?

Speaker 6 (00:50):
Okay, training, they throw a ball around.

Speaker 5 (00:54):
It's just to let the young kids, you know, have
some fun while the older brothers are doing stuff. Okay,
and said like saving the young kids wanting to join
in and going and stealing the foot is and annoying.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
The other boys. Okay, it's really cool.

Speaker 5 (01:06):
And every time Hucks kids, he's fine, like it's easy.
He goes in, plays, does it all, and you know
it's it's just good to watch him do it. I
haven't got to worry about him. But yesterday was weird,
like nothing changed.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
Got home. He loves having packs of chips and whatever.

Speaker 5 (01:23):
So I got a little pack of chips and ate
damn got his footy boots on. Excited, got down there,
Bang runs out there like five minutes before it starts,
and just starts runn around the little obstacle course and.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
Then a little it falls over and a little it
got a little bit his jump.

Speaker 5 (01:37):
With got a little bit wet, right, and I went, mate,
just water, who cares?

Speaker 3 (01:40):
It's just water?

Speaker 5 (01:42):
And then he's winging for five minutes about it. He said, oh,
you better start like just it's four you'll be fine.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
Put the bit on. Look, no more water, see beig
covers of water.

Speaker 5 (01:50):
You have to worry about it, right, And then yeah, sweet,
he's okay, yep, ma worries. And then I go to
put him in the line to like jump behind the
kids to start doing there, and he just started.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
Balling his eyes out. Yeah, I'm my mummy, I'm I'm hungry. Mate.

Speaker 5 (02:06):
You're not getting your chippies until after because he gets
a little cup of hot half he does is it's.

Speaker 7 (02:11):
So good.

Speaker 2 (02:14):
Reward chips and he just he wouldn't.

Speaker 5 (02:17):
He's hugging my legs, just shouted, just just winging, like
crying out loud.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
Just want I want mommy. I want mommy. I want mommy.
On my mate, what are you doing? Like what what's wrong? No?
I just want mom I just want mommy. And I
was like, I'll line up with you.

Speaker 5 (02:31):
I was like, I'll jump in the line with you,
and then when it's your turn to go, you go.
And he's lined up for about two seconds not bang
straight back around my.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
Leg to just yelling mommy, mommy, mommy. I said, mate,
we'll go home. If you don't do it, we'll go home.
We're done.

Speaker 1 (02:46):
I'm not do you pay to do that? Is that something? Like?

Speaker 2 (02:50):
It's not a lot, it's not. I don't think you
pay a lot, but it.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
Is something that as a parent, you're paying for him
to be there, Yeah, to get there.

Speaker 2 (02:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (03:00):
If it was a lot more, I would have been like, well,
we're going to sit here and when I watch these
kids have fun. But I just went I'm too tough
to die for this stuff.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
I am not sing here.

Speaker 5 (03:10):
Fifteen minutes went on like that, the kids running around
them fun. I'm like, mate, okay, I'm not doing this.
You're not doing anything.

Speaker 2 (03:16):
Let's just go home. We live just down. I'm not
sitting here and I'm not copying.

Speaker 5 (03:20):
I want to go home. I'm tired of I've done
a lot of stuff on this week.

Speaker 2 (03:24):
So I just went.

Speaker 5 (03:25):
Home and be off bib off in the car like
left and my mate that goes there with his.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
They're like Jesur, patience is short. I was like, you
don't want to do it?

Speaker 5 (03:37):
Yeah, and I'm not sitting there listening to him just
winging and saying I want mommy, I want money.

Speaker 2 (03:41):
I'm no, he can learn that. If he doesn't listen
and get in line and do it, we're going home.

Speaker 6 (03:46):
Do you, reckon? You taught him a lesson?

Speaker 8 (03:48):
You reckon?

Speaker 6 (03:48):
He's going to remember that.

Speaker 2 (03:49):
I hope so, because if he does it again, we'll
do that. I'll be going home again.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
Even if you're not tired, would you do anything.

Speaker 5 (03:55):
Because I'm I'm not sitting there begging my soundergo and
play footy. Yeah, he was either tired or he still
wasn't feeling well. But I was like, look, fifteen minutes
went by.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
Yeah, that's enough time.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
You'll ask you a question because I kind of at.

Speaker 6 (04:10):
Three like is little borderline?

Speaker 1 (04:13):
Yeah, but if he was eight, what would.

Speaker 5 (04:15):
You do if it was winded and saying he didn't
want to I'd just sit.

Speaker 2 (04:20):
There and make him watch. Okay, right, and I bet
you by the end of it he probably would have
joined in.

Speaker 1 (04:26):
Because I think that's the question that every single parent
has to ask themselves, because I don't think there's any
of us who have not sat in a situation where
we have paid money for our kids to do something
that they claim they want to do, and then something
will happen and they don't do it. Yes, do you
stay and make them whats?

Speaker 5 (04:43):
Just text me it's free thanks to all the sponsors
around Samford.

Speaker 6 (04:50):
Just time, then your time, and you were tied exactly.
So did he teach Hucks a valuable lesson? Or did
he show no patience? As a parent? React and thirty
six five is our number?

Speaker 8 (05:01):
Okay?

Speaker 1 (05:01):
So if this now continues every single.

Speaker 6 (05:03):
Week, what will you do?

Speaker 2 (05:04):
I just won't go, You'll stop going?

Speaker 1 (05:06):
Will teag and still take him?

Speaker 2 (05:08):
No? No, because she's Monte has gymnastics the same.

Speaker 1 (05:12):
Right, Because I guess that the question would be that
he now thinks said if he wins, he could go home.
I mean he's three.

Speaker 5 (05:18):
Yeah, he loves it too much to want to not
go there everywhere?

Speaker 6 (05:22):
So did Corey lack patience or did he teach a
good lesson? The first vote just came in by a
text I understand, Corey from your wife Tagan. Yes, what
did she say.

Speaker 2 (05:30):
Overreactive with no patience knows.

Speaker 1 (05:33):
You best of all one negative Sharon of Jim Bimber,
what do you reckon?

Speaker 3 (05:38):
Good morning? Lease? Look, I think Corey did the right thing.
My mum always said, start as you mean to continue.
So I know he's little. I get that he may
well have been unwell. If it was unwell, then he
shouldn't have gone anyway. But if he was eight and
you said, if he said to him, if you don't

(05:59):
stop mucking around, we're going home, and you don't take
him home, then what you're doing is setting a precident
saying well as around, you do whatever I want. Children
and they were very fully aware on how to manipulate
their parents.

Speaker 8 (06:14):
Sharon.

Speaker 1 (06:15):
What if you'd paid for the whole term because they
said at the start of the thing that they wanted
to do it and then decided halfway through that they
didn't want to, then unfortunately.

Speaker 3 (06:27):
You lose the money. But then there's another consequence for
the child, So the child will then need to either
do the dishes.

Speaker 1 (06:33):
I wouldn't do it like that because then it's another
war that I have to fight at home. If you
said you're going to go, you're going to go I
don't care if you sit on the sidelines, but we
will stay for the duration and you'll get cold if
they're eight.

Speaker 6 (06:51):
Thirty six, five is our number. If you want to
get involved.

Speaker 1 (06:55):
Paula of sALS Free, what do you reckon?

Speaker 8 (06:58):
Look, there's no right or wrong parenting. I think it
was an overreaction, but I think he's taught him now
that you make a commitment and if you winge, we
didn't have to commit to this, So you've made a commitment.
My son, he was three when he decided he wanted
to play soccer, so he was he was doing kiddy
kicks and kiddy kicks. It's one on one, so he

(07:19):
wanted to play soccer. So I thought, excellent, I'm going
to be a cool soccer arm So I went to
spend hundreds and hundreds of dollars on the boots and
the air, all the clap and I swear it was
the worse six months of our life. He hated it
from day one. I used to have to like rope
him into the car seat to take him down the
freaking training and he'd just sit there.

Speaker 7 (07:41):
Nagy, you made a commandment of the team, and then
in the games he would just sit on the field.

Speaker 8 (07:49):
And pick grass.

Speaker 7 (07:52):
Zone.

Speaker 8 (07:53):
And then he'd like do zombie zombie and he only
shirt up over his head and walk like a zombie everywhere.
And the coach was like Peter, Peter the ball the
book and he'd beat dumby Zombie's.

Speaker 2 (08:08):
Shirt over his head.

Speaker 1 (08:12):
Michelle, what do you reckon him?

Speaker 7 (08:16):
Looking back? I agree with Corey because I'm a mom
now of two adult daughters in their twenties, and I
was a really soft mom when they were kids, and
then when they became teenagers and started drinking and doing
all the stuff, and then I turned and started following
what I said. They were like, where's my mom? What
have you done with her? And if I could do
things again, yes, I would follow through from the time

(08:37):
they were little, because, like the initial caller said, it's
children know how to manipulate the parents. And if you
come across as a strong parent who makes a decision
and sticks by, they won't mark you around.

Speaker 6 (08:50):
Interesting three one to take it go strong at the start.

Speaker 1 (08:54):
Tamara of Joina, what do you think?

Speaker 3 (08:57):
I absolutely support Corey.

Speaker 4 (08:59):
We're a blinded family. So when I met my husband,
he had some strong rules for the boys. But one
of those favorites, saying was every action gets a reaction.
So we were going away the weekend camping at a
friend's property with our motorbikes and the kids, and his
boy hadn't been doing the best of things, so he
had given him the warning that any misbehavior or wrongdoing

(09:20):
he would be putting his motorbikes straight back on the trailer. Unfortunately,
my son did decide to not follow the rules and
his bike trap like went back on the trailer, got
tied down, and he watched everyone else ride his their
motorbikes and have fun all weekends. But he's an amazing
twenty eight year old man now and he's successful, and
I think if you were to ask him, he'd probably

(09:43):
say that dad did well because he's just awesome. So
and I think, as stepmum, I wish I had to
let him do a little bit more with my boy.
My boy's still sisters great, but yeah, definitely, those parenting
skills are amazing. I think, yeah, take care off to Corey.
It takes a lot to do it, but I think
it's well worth while.

Speaker 1 (10:04):
That's a massive confession to say that you wish that
you'd let your husband parents your his step children differently.

Speaker 6 (10:12):
Go a bit harder, Yeah, go harder.

Speaker 2 (10:14):
It's not liking me now, it's going to change.

Speaker 6 (10:18):
Still, you've got one, you've got one vote against, and
that's your wife and possibly outweighs all other boy
