My Heart podcasts, hear more kiss podcasts, playlists, and listen
live on the Free Hard. In the latest episode of
We'll get to That, we touched on something which which
brought you to tears. So you've got to get out
of the car. You can go and have listen to
the latest episode and we'll get to that. It is
wherever you get your podcasts. Woods and I really trying
to really trying to solve some difficult questions which we
(00:31):
solved time. I think we've got very time. I think
we've got very close. I think we're learning very quickly
as we try and discuss time that it is a
huge issue for a lot of people and it's very
hard to get your hit around. But so the latest
episode is what is your Relationship with Time? Part three,
because there are three past and there is a part
four by the way to the point where I'm actually
(00:53):
next episode we're going to bring on a time expert.
I got Oliver Berkman, who's like world authority on time. Personally,
I don't think we need him.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
I think if you go and listen to the most
recent podcast, you realize that we have nailed how the
best to use your time.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
But if you are interested in, like punctuality and efficiency
and getting stressed and all that sort of stuff. Next week,
Berkman is he's the guy for that. He's got a
book called four Thousand Weeks, which is just about how
many weeks and normal human lives and it's how you
can wisely use that time within the four thousand weeks.
It's really cool. So he'll be on next week. But
before we got there, we touched on I mean, one
(01:26):
of us was always going to cry and we're talking
about this, we're talking about time management when it comes
in relation to your kids. Yes, yes, And here's the
bit that we got to have a listen.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Actually a nice moment the other morning, and this is
obviously MIM's doing and it was very nice.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
I've herd to do that.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Remy said to me, thank you for working so we
could get apples today, which was.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Like, wow, hit you right in the field. Yea. Oh man,
first podcast cry whoa that came out of nowhere. You
can see that Instagram TikTok if you want to. But
why was that tough for Remedy to say that to you?
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Because so I'm sure you relate to this, and I'm
sure whoever's the person who in your relationship who's maybe
working more or still working full time with a young child,
you have that moment where you leave in the morning,
and as they get older, you you know you have
to have that moment where it's like, I'm choosing to
(02:32):
leave now and I'm not going to see you for
the next six hours, and you kind of see the Aha,
you see a look on their face and you go, oh,
It's like they look at you like, why wouldn't you
want to hang out with me today? Like I thought
you loved me, I thought we wanted to spend this
time together. And you say, I'm going to work for
six to seven hours. I'm going to work and going
(02:53):
to work, and you know that they can't fully comprehend
or understand what that means to them. They're going, oh,
you're going to choose something that doesn't involve me, and
so every morning that breaks your heart a little bit.
So for her, well, for my wife to have explained
to my daughter, Remy, that the reason he's doing that
(03:14):
is not.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Because necessarily wants to be away from you.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
It's just there's this there's this thing that we've created
called money, which does buy things like apples and so
for money. Is cute that she used an idea of
an apple, right, I think I think that day, I
think she was saying, where's daddy wears daddy and mim
was at the supermarket and she bought remy and apple,
and I think just had that moment she goes, hey,
you know, we just bought that apple, and that's why
(03:38):
dad goes to work.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
You can have that apple. Yeah, it's really sweet. I
think my emotions is quite high, but at the moment,
obviously it's okay, it's all right, it's beautiful. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Yeah, yeah, So that was was just so nice because
it's like, oh, so you you can't you do have
an understanding now that I'm not wanting.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
To leave you.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
It's just there's a there's a reason, and that you
can see a benefit from it. At such a young age.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
It's hard. It's really harder when that you get it
reflected back to you through their eyes. Yeah, because they're
so innocent, like why would you leave? Of course? I like, yeah,
I go, man, like I love and hanging out with you. Yeah.
I think when you said it, like, it's really nice
that you And again, people can see that clip Instagram
(04:31):
TikTok with them or if they want to have a
look at it. See more of Woody crying. Yeah, again,
I should have embraced the crime more. But yeah, that's fine.
You're embracing it right now. It's good. I think it's
interesting that I think as particular as like I'm in
a stereotype here. I was going to say, dad's but
(04:52):
just if you are just working, I wasn't going to stereotype.
I don't need to, though, because if you are the
parent who's working full time, I know there's obviously the
slings and arrows of being the stay at home parent,
which I think we can all agree seems a lot harder.
So I just want to put that on the record.
But I find I find being the working parent. It's
(05:13):
really the thing that I really struggle with, is this
idea of balancing my duties between like my partner, my child,
and then my job. And I think that's the thing
that kind of like really hits you like a sledgehammer
when you start, when you first have a child, It's
like this is really hard to balance, Like I'm always
losing and life's more complicated.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Than work, partner and child, by the way topic, they're
just they're just the big headlines.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Yeah, I've got I got my relationship, I've got my partner,
I've got my relationship with my job. When I've got
my child, and you lose, like you lose so many times,
particularly early on, and then so you just can't get
it right. I feel like you're always spinning plates. You
when you get your relationship on track, you're like, oh my,
my work is suffering. At the moment when you get
(06:01):
your parent stuff on track, relationship suffers and it kind
of just goes. And I don't think anyone prepares you
for that.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
No, yeah, and no, no one can, even though we try.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
In this podcast, get the podcast where you get a podcast.
It's about time. This is what we're talking about.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
I kind of think the point we get to, which
kind of sounds a bit defeatist, is that you're just
never gonna a nail it.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
So whatever you are doing in the time you've got, yeah,
just try to embrace do that, do that well, Do
what you're doing well.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Now. Don't don't be at work thinking I should be
at home.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Yeah, And don't be at home thinking I should be
doing work.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Yes, yes, yeah, it's true. It's really it's really well said,
and if you want to learn more about that, head
along to We'll get to that, Willam Woodies will get
to that wherever you get your podcasts. Four episodes on
time we're going on to which is crazy, but we've
got an expert coming next week. Otherwise. I think that's
a really good chat, particularly if you are the working parent.
I hope that makes you feel a bit better about
what you're doing. William Woody will get to that wherever
(06:56):
you get your pods.
