Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's the Happy Families Podcast. It's the podcast for.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
The time poor parent who just wants answers.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
Now, Welcome to the Happy Family Podcast. I'm justin. I'm
here with Kylie among our six kids. I'm the author
of a whole bunch of books, the co host of
a TV show called Parental Guidance, all about raising kids,
and a whole lot of other stuff. And today you
just happen to have joined the podcast. Maybe you're new here.
If you are, you've joined us on one of the
most exciting podcasting days in our podcasting history. It might
not be exciting for you at all, but it's really
(00:31):
exciting for us.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Well, let's just say your tagline just got a bit longer.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
My tagline meaning all the stuff that we ah. Yeah,
I don't want to reveal too much. Okay, So we
have some news. We have some really big news. We
are the parents, as I mentioned, of six children. I
nearly said seven children, but I'm not going to say
that we're the parents of seven children. But we are
the parents of six kids. Our oldest daughter has been
married for what almost four years? Nearly four years? Yeah,
(00:56):
four years in a couple of months time and a
few weeks ago, she asked if the whole family could
get together to have dinner. We said, of course, we
love when the family gets together. So we all got
everyone together and after dinner, we sat around and we
played some pictionary. But there was something going on with
the pictionary game because you decided to set it up.
Rather than playing proper dictionary, you did a Kylie Coulson
(01:18):
Pictionary Special. What were the details of that Kylie Culson
Pictionary Special, Missus Happy Families.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Well, when you're playing pictionary, obviously, there's usually just a
couple of teams and you're playing team against team and
there's only one person drawing. So we thought we'd kind
of change it up, and we had multiple teams. So
there was four teams, and because.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
We have a big family, it was like three or
four teams were competing to be the first one to
guess the same thing. Okay, so on each team, one
person was the person drawing. All of the drawers got
to see the same word and then they would go
to their individual boards and start drawing, and everyone else
on their team, the two or three other people and
their team had to get and whichever team was first,
(02:01):
and there was a series of themes that remained consistent
with every single word that was drawn out.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Like they were just household items.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
They were all just household items. But this is kind
of what happened, eh am awake. So I should warn
you that as we play more audio clips from the
next few minutes, it's chaos in our home. We have
(02:32):
six kids, we've got grandparents there, there's there's a whole
lot of other people who are in our home with us,
joining in for what's going to be a really fun
pictionary night. And you can just hear the chaos. You
can hear all of that. This is a raw that
there is.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
There is no editing here anyway.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Ella Ella notices at some point that there's something going
on with the words of this I love this, So
she's kind of recognized that there is this common theme
with all of the words that are coming up. And
then one of the other kids says this, which.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Led to one of the kids actually accusing me being pregnant.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Getting ready to tell us that she's pregnant again, are
you pregnant, honey? So this conversation suddenly turns into a
big discussion about pregnancy, and as you.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Can tell, in our house, there's never just one speaker.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
We need a talking stick in our home. So then
this happens. You've read there.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
So our eldest daughter has made it official. I'm going
to be having a baby.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
In September.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Chaos ensued following their announcements.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
What are you crying? So everyone's crying except one of
the kids, our nineteen year old, the muso, the one
who is so in touch with her feelings. Why she's crying?
Why is crying? Why are you all crying? You're all crying?
(04:22):
What the heck?
Speaker 2 (04:23):
And in case you're still wondering what the heck is
going on right now, our son in law made it
extremely clear.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Baby, one of our kids has always been really softhearted.
She cries at the drop of the hat. I mean,
she's the most emotional kid in a really positive and
delightful way most of the time that we that we
have and as the reality sunk in, this is what happened.
I didn't you grand didn't click.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Seconds.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Mommy and I are going to be grandparents. You're going
to be older you.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
What I just loved about this experience was for Annie.
It was these incremental aha moments. First and foremost, her
sister is having a baby yep, and then she's going
to be an auntie.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
And we're going to be grandparents.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
But that had blew up even further for her when
she realized that, man, we were going to be grandparents.
It was just such a big moment.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
So in case this has just been a bit too much,
and we apologize if it has been, because our family
is a little extra. The short version is we're going
to be grandparents. The short version, we're going to be grandparents.
The news is out. It's official. Our daughter has given
us full permission to announce it. On the podcast of
the Dog wants to know what's going on? Do you
(05:58):
know what something really funny has had And in terms
of this whole whole thing, and Kylie, you remember this
conversation happening some years ago. I think they've only just
gotten married, and I said to them, what are your
plans for a family? I mean, it's your life, it's
your decision. Now, we don't have any say in it,
but i'd just love to know what are your planning?
What are you thinking about? And they said, oh, it's
(06:19):
it's going to be good four or five years. Well,
we'll certainly be waiting before we have any kids, and
I kind of breathed the sigh of relief, and I said,
that's great, because I want to be fifty or above
before you have your first grandchild. Not my business, you
have them whenever you want. But and they look at
me funny, and I said, now, let me explain, because
I want to be a grandpa who can be available,
like when that kid's big enough to go after school.
(06:39):
I want to ride my bike next to that kid
as we'd ride off to school together. I want to
do the school drop off on the pickup. And I
want to be that involved grandparent. And I looked at
the kids and I just said, and guys, right now,
there's too much happening with happy families and with books
and with TV shows. It's not something that I can
really commit to for the next few years. So just
take your time. It's okay, take your time. And that's okay.
(07:00):
They've waited three years and we've still got another five
years before the school run happens. But when I knew
it was going to happen sooner than later, and I
was actually dreading it. And I don't really know why,
because the minute that we found out, I just I
nearly burst into tears. I can't tell you how absolutely
(07:21):
overwhelmingly thrilled and delighted I am to know that we're
going to be grandparents and to know that we're going
to have this little baby in our home again, that
we get to huggle and squeeze and love like crazy.
I'm just so indescribably thrilled to find out. Even if
I'm a bit younger than I wanted.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
To be, Well, you are being sheltered a little bit
because since Chanell found out that she was pregnant. I
have had text messages at two am this morning. I
have had five am phone calls. She has been on
my doorstep at any given moment. I get photos of
everything she's eating. I get students about why her Pooh
(08:01):
looks a certain way like I I hear it all.
But what is so delightful is that she wants me
to be a part of that space. She wants to
share all of those moments, all of the changes that
she's experiencing. And for anyone who's been pregnant, you know,
like it happens in some ways so quickly, and yet
(08:24):
a conversation just the other day, she's like, Mom, I
feel like I have been pregnant forever.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
It's been like three and a half months forever. Look,
I can't laugh. I'm the guy. I've never had to
worry about this. It's a girl thing. So how are
you feeling about it?
Speaker 2 (08:40):
I think what I'm most excited about is that Jared
and Chanell's relationship has just blossomed and grown, and there
is just so much solidarity in their love for each
other and their desire to kind of move forward in
their family, and that excite me. I'm kind of in awe.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Of being old enough to be a grandma, no.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Having the privilege of having a front row seat as
this family grows, and to watch them just love each other.
That's what I'm so excited about, is just watching that love.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
I just had a thought that I've not had until
right this moment. We have six kids, six daughters. How
many grandkids do you reckon we're going to end up with?
I have no idea, Like we've got the potential to
end up being responsible for the global population problems, right
like that?
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Well, we put this in context because Shanell and Jarrett
have been around us for a long time now, and
it actually probably has been a little bit of a
birth control.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
With all the kids driving everyone crazy. Clearly it didn't
work well enough. What are you most excited about?
Speaker 2 (09:57):
I think I'm just most excited that she wants to
include me in the process and that I actually get
to just be with her side by side. In so
many ways, it feels like reliving some of my own experiences,
and yet it's an out of body experience because it's
not mine, it's hers, and it's different. And being able
(10:19):
to share with her some of the really hard learned
lessons that I learned way too late and desperately want
her to learn now and take care of herself and
nurture and support herself and be able to ask for
(10:41):
what she needs because it was something that I really
struggled with as a young mum.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
What do you think would be the hardest thing.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Watching her hurt?
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Watching watching watching her go through the hard because while
there's so much beautiful, there is so much hard And
knowing that while I can support her, the reality is
she actually has to go through that hard.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Yeah. But you know what, that's where you grow, That's
the good stuff. That's why you're who you are because
of the hard stuff That you've been through anyway, that's arounsdment.
You know what I'm most nervous about the thing that
I think is going to be the hardest. I reckon
you can guess what is going to be the hardest
for me. You're not going to guess. I thought you'd
be able to guess that one.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
No, I'm more scared of penises. To be honest, I
haven't had to change one of those nappies.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Well, what I'm most worried about is that I'm going
to want to try to be the parenting expert, and
we're going to have a son in law or a
daughter who looks at us and says, would you just
stop telling us how to do it and let us
figure it out for ourselves. And yet I feel like
there's so much at stake, and there's that opportunity to say, hey,
we've been there, and I've got a book about that. Oh,
I've got a book about that as well, and look,
(11:53):
I've got a book about this. I think that's going
to be the hardest thing. I hope I hope that
our relationships such that they're inclined to and talk with
us about things, because it's going to be really hard
for him to buy my tongue. I'm just saying, it's
really gonna be a tough one. Glad to put it
out there in my tongue, get bitten off. It's a
happy day for us, and we're so grateful to be
(12:13):
able to share it with you. We hope that you
don't mind this moment of self indulgence on The Happy
Family's podcast. But we're going to be grandparents. What are
you going to be called? Do you know what the
grandchild will be calling you?
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Well, I know what they're calling you.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
What are they calling me? You're Papa and Papa, Yes,
Papa as really Papa.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Chanelle as a young girl, used to call you Papa smurf.
She did know how it ever starts you are still
Papa Smurf in her phone.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
So I'm going to be really, you are right, So
I'm going to be papa.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
So you're going to be Papa, and I think does something.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
You'll be Nona, No, don't. We don't have Italian heritage here.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Our kids' grandparents are nanny and Poppy.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Yeah, Nana pop yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
And I grew up with a papa and a nana,
But I don't just I don't feel like any of
those spit me and I'm not granny.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Well, I was about to say, that's all we got
time for grandma.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
So I think I'm going to be mama.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Mama, yeah, mamma, mamma.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Okay, so you're going to be papa and I think
I'm going to be mamma.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Well, we'll find out as things progress. Now, we just
hope and pray and cross everything that the pregnancy progresses
well and that we are fortunate enough to have a
healthy baby add to our family. Soon it'll be the
Happy Families podcast with me doctor Justin Coulson and you

Speaker 2 (00:32):
Well, let's just say your tagline just got a bit longer.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
My tagline meaning all the stuff that we ah. Yeah,
I don't want to reveal too much. Okay, So we

Yeah?
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Watching watching watching her go through the hard because while
there's so much beautiful, there is so much hard And
knowing that while I can support her, the reality is
she actually has to go through that hard.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Yeah. But you know what, that's where you grow, That's
the good stuff. That's why you're who you are because
of the hard stuff That you've been through anyway, that's arounsdment.
You know what I'm most nervous about the thing that
I think is going to be the hardest. I reckon
you can guess what is going to be the hardest
for me. You're not going to guess. I thought you'd
be able to guess that one.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
No, I'm more scared of penises. To be honest, I
haven't had to change one of those nappies.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Well, what I'm most worried about is that I'm going
to want to try to be the parenting expert, and
we're going to have a son in law or a
daughter who looks at us and says, would you just
stop telling us how to do it and let us
figure it out for ourselves. And yet I feel like
there's so much at stake, and there's that opportunity to say, hey,
we've been there, and I've got a book about that. Oh,
I've got a book about that as well, and look,
(11:53):
I've got a book about this. I think that's going
to be the hardest thing. I hope I hope that
our relationships such that they're inclined to and talk with
us about things, because it's going to be really hard
for him to buy my tongue. I'm just saying, it's
really gonna be a tough one. Glad to put it
out there in my tongue, get bitten off. It's a
happy day for us, and we're so grateful to be
(12:13):
able to share it with you. We hope that you
don't mind this moment of self indulgence on The Happy
Family's podcast. But we're going to be grandparents. What are
you going to be called? Do you know what the
grandchild will be calling you?
Speaker 2 (12:24):
