That was an eleven hour ride, oh and one plus
another one. She's got a rest.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
Girls got to rest, all right, So we're gonna have
some fun. Glad, Glad that you guys are sticking around.
It's been a jam packed shows for the majority of
everything going on, and it's only gonna get even better
because of what do you want to talk about?
Speaker 2 (00:30):
I want to talk about moms, And this is the
reason I'm sending Dixie out the door and confirming go
rest because of what based on this study I don't know.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
You know.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Again, we talk about things. We'd love for you guys
to chime in if you get a chance. Our phone
line's doing okay?
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Or what should I do? I'm having so many people
say that they've tried to call but they can't get through.
So we have a producer keeping her eye on things.
So just give us a call to make sure our
phones are working.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
How that Yeah six one four eight two one eight
eight six six four one U TVN.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
So I'm sure they're going to have a comment about that.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Test it out and yeah, if you have a comment
about this, so I'm curious your take on this. A
new study of nearly two hundred thousand moms found that
their mental health has quote significantly declined and physical health
is also suffering. So here's what you need to know
before we eat you comment. I'll give you some bullet points.
Overall mental health of mothers significantly declined since two thy sixteen,
(01:27):
so we're looking back to twenty sixteen to twenty fifteen,
so almost a decade. It's a new study published in
the Journal of American Medical Association, which we all know, Jamo,
we've talked about when you were in news and all that.
So nearly two hundred thousand female parents of children up
to age seventeen between twenty sixteen and twenty twenty five,
(01:48):
we're asked to self report their mental and physical conditions,
and that's where this sixty four percent increase in fair
slash poor mental health came up.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
So what are the reasonings though? Why?
Speaker 2 (01:58):
So when you look a little further into this study,
and it's funny because dads really aren't having a problem.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Of course they're not, because moms carry most of the load.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
So I think what it's indicating is exactly what you
just said, I mean, significantly worst physical and mental health
status was observed among moms who are doing it all.
Some of them have a lower educational attainment and US
born mothers, so this is US born mothers and single
single moms. But overall the stats don't look good. And
(02:30):
you know you had teenagers in the house during this time.
I currently have teenagers in the house. I find the
stats interesting. I don't disagree with them based on my
current experience and trying to do it all and sometimes
failing at doing it all.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
You're in that part of your life right now where
you're dealing with a lot of moms, school moms, drama
moms because the Christian being involved in the plays, hockey moms.
Do you notice this among other moms that you associate with.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
So people that I am good friends with, I think
tend to be pretty transparent about how things are going
inside their house with their children or with their spouses
and the challenges that can be had. But no, in general,
I feel like moms just spin the plates and smile
and do their thing. And I don't think by and
(03:23):
large I noticed it. Did you have moms that talk
to you about what they were going through when your
kids were still in high school.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
No, we just had fun. We had so much fun
with everything. I've never really felt stressed out. I think,
I don't think you're gonna like what I'm about to say. Well,
do you serve it up? You know, I was thinking
about this the other day, and I've always thought that
in life, it's your best part of life is the current,
(03:50):
Like when I was in school, Yeah, in the moment. Yeah,
you know, when I was in high school, that was
the best part of life. Best part was being in
high school. Then I went on to college, you know what,
that was the best. It was the best part of
my life. And then I got my first job. Oh
what was Nothing was better? That was so much fun.
I'm making money. I loved what I was doing. And
then I got married. That was the best part of
my life. And then kids, nothing was better. So, in
(04:12):
my humble opinion, every part of my life so far
in my fifty seven years of life, has really gotten better.
You live in the moment until now. I think this
is the worst part part. I really do. And I
am not a depressed person. I look at the glass
half full all the time. But I miss my life
(04:32):
when my kids were home, and we were all a
family when my mom was here. We were just looking
at old videos the other day at my sister's house
in Sunbury, and there were my niece Corey, showed all
these different videos Mom dancing all of us around the
table every Sunday night. We were there as a family,
and I missed that. I really miss that. So if
(04:54):
I look at my life, quite honestly, this is the
worst time. And I don't like that feel.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
You're falling into the study even though you have But
I'm post college kids.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Right, I mean, Kylin's living in Strongsville. Cammy is no
longer going to play softball. That's a big chunk that
was part of our life for so many decades or years.
I guess she's only twenty two, so almost two decades
guesse she played when she was four. Yeah, so, but
everything in life is sick, lookal and nothing it is
lasts forever. And I've been, honestly, I've been praying, and
(05:27):
I know you're a strong woman in faith, and I've
been praying, like, God, show me what's my next purpose?
What do you want me to do from here? Because
I feel like something's missing. I'm not mentally drained at all.
I just feel like something's missing. I need another, I
need something new in my life.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Oh that's a feeling of you get like bring on
the Catholicism, Mikayla, and we gotta go to break. But
the Holy Spirit, like where's the Holy Spirit for mindy
to come in and like say, okay, this is what
is next, So keep praying. I mean, I do think
I think faith has a lot to do with this.
But you know, a woman of faith, someone who, as
(06:06):
you know, is analytical and like looks at things I've enjoyed.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Really are analytical and you look at everything I do.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
But I've enjoyed my life and I've enjoyed, So I
think it's great and night that resonates with me. But
I think we are just in a totally different time
than we were when our parents were raising us. And
I think it can be really mentally challenging sometimes when
you can't And when I say control your kids, I
don't mean like uber control them, but it's harder to
(06:33):
control things now and to steer them in the right direction.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Well, I will say this, So what enjoy the hardships
because they're still there. It's hard they are still there
and they go back to that song. You're gonna miss this,
You're gonna want this back, but how But I don't care.
You even enjoy it because you've got them, You've got
them under your roof right now. They're part of your everyday,
single life. Last night, Cammie was facetiming me and she
(06:59):
was out in Oklahoma City and she was out at
with her friend and they were out at a bar
and they were watching this what do you call it?
A fucking Bronco? Oh? Yeah, like the Life one, not
an automatic bull.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
But while Yeahran and I.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Are laying and Ben, I'm like, well, I guess I
won't get in any sleep till three in the morning,
till whenever she gets because that's what mom, that's what
moms do. We invested in.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
But I think that's the problem. I think the worry
and the problem right now is impacting mental health. I know,
and Chris has given us the break and physical health
because we are taking care of everybody else and worrying
about everybody else.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
But I'm telling you, enjoy it because your kids are
still with you once they're gone. I know it's terrible.
I hate it. If I could I'd pop out another baby. No,
not really, you're just gonna have another I'm gonna have
a fifth puppy, but have a fifth. I believe that
this is what we're gonna talk about it.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
