Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, it is Mojo in the morning. So Shannon
is not a bad mom. She's actually an excellent mom.
Matter of fact, I have never in my life ever
known you to ever miss anything that is your kids.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
It's really nice, thank you saying that.

Speaker 3 (00:14):
Well, well except for after Lucy tolds you something.

Speaker 4 (00:17):
So I have my kiddos every other week. So one
week they're with me, the next week with they're with
their dad, and they come back to me, and then
they go with their dad.

Speaker 2 (00:26):
You know how this goes. And we keep.

Speaker 4 (00:29):
A shared calendar of all of their activities. It's color coded,
it's very organized. He'll update some things. I'll do the same,
so that we are always very aware of everything going
on with the kids, whether it's school stuff or extracurricular activities.
So last week was my week to have the kids,
and I'm going through the schedule for the weekend and

(00:50):
we're trying to figure out how to get everybody to
where they need to be. And Lucy's having a conversation
and she said, Mom, how come you haven't come to
one of my flesh football games yet? I have a
game this weekend. And I looked at her, I'm like, wait,
you play flag football. I had no idea that she

(01:13):
was a part of a flag football team, nor that
she had had games, because, like you said, I would
be there, and I am an embarrassing mom.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
I cheer so loud.

Speaker 3 (01:22):
Did she No?

Speaker 4 (01:24):
Her dad signed her up and forgot to tell me
and put anything on the calendar that she was a
part of this team. So I had already missed two games,
and she was like, it made me feel so absolutely
terrible because I go to all Smith is also a
part of a flag football team, and so I'm like

(01:45):
on the sidelines for all those I know he's on
a team because I was the one that signed him up. Okay,
but we always have a thing where if you signed
the kids up for something or if something's going on,
we obviously make the other parent aware. I mean, that's
the only way to have a successful copiring in relationship
and get the kids to everywhere they need to be.
I had no freaking idea. I felt like the worst

(02:06):
mom in the whole world. And I told her, Lucy,
you know, if I if I had been aware, if
it was on the calendar, Mama, unless I was out
of town, would be there, absolutely be there.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
So I was there yesterday and she got touchdown.

Speaker 5 (02:19):
Yeah, but first I want to say I'm sorry because
obviously that sucks. You want to be there to support
your child. She didn't have practice when you were with
her either.

Speaker 4 (02:27):
So it's really weird flag of football they do. There's
no practices during the week. And this goes for Smith too.
It's this snap league, which is an amazing league, but
they have a practice for an hour and then they
play the game and that's It's usually either a Saturday
or a Sunday.

Speaker 3 (02:43):
Luke did that.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
That's it. There's no other practices.

Speaker 4 (02:45):
It's a very minimal time commitment in terms of a sport,
but it's really fun.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
Has this ever happened to any of our listeners, because
I would bet this would be somewhat common where because
you're at your you know, kids are going from house
to house where your kid had something that you just
didn't know about and you didn't go to it or whatever,
and then you found out later that you just didn't
know about it.

Speaker 5 (03:07):
I mean earlier on, like when Josiah was growing up,
I made the mistake of not making his mother a
part of my decisions, and I thought that I was
just doing the best thing for him, not even incorporating
her or giving her the ability to have an input.
So I was signed Josiah for karate and be like
a jazz man Tuesdays and Thursdays. He got karate at
six pm and just expecting her to either fall in

(03:29):
line or just saying if you don't, I got him,
and that was that was a very wrong thing to
do and a very difficult thing in our relationship.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
Can her schedule?

Speaker 3 (03:39):
Yeah, and then I held her to a standard that
she didn't even agree to be a part of.

Speaker 4 (03:43):
You know, right, Well, I told their dad. I was like,
ohka flaing football. I'm really excited that I know about that.
I go, oh, just you know, I signed Smith up
for the drama club and Lucy up for dance class.
So you know, he was like, hey, yeah, eight four
tour Mojoe Live.

Speaker 1 (04:01):
Eight four four six six five sixty five four eight
is our telephone number and the text is nine five
five zero zero.

Speaker 4 (04:07):
I'll tell you, man, there's a lot of moving pieces.
There's a lot of moving pieces when everybody's onder the
same roof. Oh yeah, there are a heck of a
lot of moving pieces. When there's two household you're trying
to keep up with.

Speaker 1 (04:17):
Well and you guys, all you guys have you know,
blended families and stuff like that too. So there's so
many different other kids. I don't know how the hell
you guys keep up with stuff like I see all.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
The this is my lifeline.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
Holy Christ, that's full. That's ridiculous, organized and over scheduled.
She needs a clone. That looks crazy. I know exactly
need a clone. But can you imagine though, do you
imagine as a as a kid like I? There have
been times where I would miss certain things and I
always felt like my kids knew like I would choose.

(04:50):
I would choose to go do a work thing and
not come to you know, whatever the kids stuff is.
And I will never forget. When my therapist said to me,
he goes, you know, work will never know that you
were there on a Tuesday, but your kid will remember
that you weren't there on on that.

Speaker 5 (05:04):
Day, especially if you like a Shannon type of mom,
where you're there all the time. Yeah, I can just
imagine Lucy being on the field like, yeah, we're my
mom made.

Speaker 3 (05:12):
Yeah I took her twice right, two games?

Speaker 1 (05:15):
Okay, Twist in the night. Textors want to know what's
the app called the calendar app call that you use?

Speaker 2 (05:21):
Oh, I just use whatever it looks like.

Speaker 4 (05:25):
Yeah, it's actually really nice because Dad can update it
and I can update it, and we can see each
other's updates.

Speaker 3 (05:30):
You're in the same one. Okay, Yeah, this.

Speaker 5 (05:32):
Is literally this just happened with jazzm and and I like,
and I'm bad because she sent me a text message
two days ago and was like, we need a calendar
because stuff is going on. She's about to start a
new job. I still haven't accepted it yet, but like
that's the conversation right now.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
Wes and I have a shared calendar.

Speaker 4 (05:48):
Then Samantha and Kieren my step kids, I share a
calendar with them, so I have a lot of shared
calendar so I could see everybody.

Speaker 3 (05:55):
Are the kids about putting stuff on calendars?

Speaker 6 (05:58):
Uh?

Speaker 4 (05:58):
Well, Samantha and Kieren are a me because they're high
school college.

Speaker 2 (06:02):
My kids don't. They don't have any any way of
doing it.

Speaker 1 (06:04):
She told that Luke doesn't tell me that it's Dad's
Day until like three days before. Really seriously, he calls
me on Friday and he goes, hey, Dad, A bunch
of the bunch of the dads are coming up for
homecoming this weekend?

Speaker 3 (06:18):
Do you want to come? I'm like, I would love
to if you told me.

Speaker 1 (06:21):
About it even forty eight hours ago, you know what
I mean?

Speaker 3 (06:25):
Like, he doesn't. It's kind of a bad account.

Speaker 1 (06:27):
And honestly, the funny thing is he's not inviting me
because he wants me to be there. He's inviting me
so I don't feel bad that I wasn't there when
he's see the pictures of all the dad's shirtless with
the boys at Harper's.

Speaker 3 (06:36):
You know, Oh you're ready for that, believe me.

Speaker 1 (06:38):
No, what's going on? Aisha? What's up? Or Asia? What's up?

Speaker 7 (06:41):
Hi?

Speaker 6 (06:42):
How are you doing?

Speaker 3 (06:43):
What's going on?

Speaker 6 (06:43):
Then?

Speaker 8 (06:45):
Hi?

Speaker 7 (06:46):
Yeah? It is for me? Uniforms for school and beyond
expensive like going to summer sut and shopping on the
expensive side, shoes, underwear.

Speaker 1 (07:05):
Can you do me a favorite? I have no idea
what you're talking about? You what do you start to
start all over again? We're talking about Yeah, it's missing.

Speaker 7 (07:13):
Events for sure.

Speaker 8 (07:16):
His father and I have both screwed up the calendar,
back and forth, school information, all kinds of stuff.

Speaker 6 (07:23):
We felt like the freshman.

Speaker 8 (07:25):
Didn't know what was going on this year at school
because of the switching.

Speaker 7 (07:29):
But not getting like Psycho Bunny.

Speaker 6 (07:32):
Stuff is the cheap stuff?

Speaker 7 (07:34):
Back to my house again?

Speaker 3 (07:36):
What is she talking about? What is she talking about?

Speaker 2 (07:39):
Where is she telling me about how her and her
kid's dad miss events sometimes based on the calendar.

Speaker 3 (07:44):
Where does the shopping part go from shopping?

Speaker 2 (07:47):
Talk to me about that?

Speaker 1 (07:49):
Because yeah, Asia, start all over again for a second.
Are you a yisha Asha? See? I'm wondering here. What
is the whole point of your phone call? Go ahead,
start all over again because I'm confused. Now I'm about
to miss my kids events because I don't know what
the hell's going on.

Speaker 6 (08:06):
Ahead, I'm so sorry.

Speaker 8 (08:08):
Not only did we miss some of the freshman orientation,
this here going back and forth on households. It's the
divorced household of non communication and trusting your child to
bring back the expensive stuff you buy. Oh, okay, I
spend twenty five dollars each pair of boxers he buys

(08:30):
the target.

Speaker 6 (08:31):
Tack that kind of stuff.

Speaker 8 (08:34):
Okay, crazy because the uniforms clothes not coming back.

Speaker 5 (08:40):
Yes, okay, Yeah, I'm gonna be honest with you, and
I can't speak for everybody's household. That's something that I
paid a lot of attention to when I was younger.
There was times when I would buy Josiah certain outfits
and I wanted them boys back, and when he didn't
come back with it, or he came back with something
that I wasn't the super fan of, I would get
in my feelings. And then I started to think, like,
I'm putting unnecessary pressure on mine, so unnecessary pressure on

(09:04):
a relationship, and unnecessary pressure on Josiah to have Josiah
have to think about man, I need to bring these
twenty five dollars PSD underwear back or whatever his thing was.
And at a point, and I can't speak for everybody,
everybody raised the household, deferently, everybody got their own thoughts
in mind. But there are so many more things at play,
and so many things that are way more deeper and
more serious than making sure my kid brings his clothes back. Well,

(09:25):
As long as he gets safe back and he's happy
between the households, that's all that matter.

Speaker 2 (09:30):
You going to get mixed up anyway.

Speaker 1 (09:31):
To your child, it's just underwear. To you, it's how
much you spent for that underwear. And be honest with
you if your kid's not bringing it back and forth.
He knows that next time he goes over to whoever's
house is going to start, he'll he'll wear it again.

Speaker 5 (09:43):
It's extra anxiety on him. Oh my god, I forgot
to bring this back. Is mom gonna be mad?

Speaker 3 (09:47):
It's dag go.

Speaker 4 (09:48):
But if Smith gets an annoying toy, you conpetic was
in his back back to death?

Speaker 3 (09:52):
