WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.700 They're climbing, they're jumping, they're doing 00:00:01.700 --> 00:00:04.339 this, they're swinging, they're twirling, they're 00:00:04.339 --> 00:00:06.700 jumping from this wall to that wall to this. 00:00:06.860 --> 00:00:08.619 It's like an obstacle course. It's like parkour. 00:00:08.779 --> 00:00:12.960 Yeah, that's exactly it. Anywhere we go in life 00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:22.399 is a parkour course. Welcome back to Keep It 00:00:22.399 --> 00:00:24.920 Good. I'm your host Carly. And I'm your host 00:00:24.920 --> 00:00:28.620 Emily. How you doing, Em? I'm good. I'm having 00:00:28.620 --> 00:00:31.940 a good morning. Yeah. There was no fighting going 00:00:31.940 --> 00:00:34.920 off to school today with the girls. So that's 00:00:34.920 --> 00:00:38.000 a plus. Yeah. No yelling, screaming at each other, 00:00:38.060 --> 00:00:40.539 me yelling at them. So life was good. I had a 00:00:40.539 --> 00:00:42.520 good morning. How about you? How's your morning? 00:00:43.960 --> 00:00:47.899 Well, somebody farted in yoga this morning. No. 00:00:48.280 --> 00:00:53.119 Yeah. And it wasn't me. So I mean, my day, I 00:00:53.119 --> 00:00:56.539 can't complain. That. Other girl my heart goes 00:00:56.539 --> 00:00:59.320 out to because I don't I don't know if I should 00:00:59.320 --> 00:01:02.899 recover from that that was loud and proud and 00:01:02.899 --> 00:01:08.260 it was I felt so Bad, but at the same time I 00:01:08.260 --> 00:01:11.459 was not fazed because I'm just surrounded by 00:01:11.459 --> 00:01:14.060 farts I feel like they just follow me now that 00:01:14.060 --> 00:01:16.780 I'm a boy mom. I'm just surrounded by like a 00:01:16.780 --> 00:01:23.799 fart bubble always Am I manifesting it? Being 00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:27.060 a boy mom. I don't know. Oh my gosh. Do you have 00:01:27.060 --> 00:01:32.599 farty kids? I Would say no. I mean they do obviously, 00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:35.739 but I don't think it's like like boys Yeah, I 00:01:35.739 --> 00:01:38.219 feel like girls hide it and boys are like who 00:01:38.219 --> 00:01:42.079 can be louder. Right here Sometimes I wish I 00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:44.379 was a girl mom. I swear. Yeah. Well, you know 00:01:44.379 --> 00:01:46.540 what's funny is because sometimes I don't think 00:01:46.540 --> 00:01:50.079 that they You know, they don't have good manners 00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:52.219 all the time but you know, randomly I'll just 00:01:52.219 --> 00:01:54.540 hear like, and excuse me, excuse me. And I'm 00:01:54.540 --> 00:01:57.819 like, oh, what happened? I just burped. Okay. 00:01:58.200 --> 00:02:01.239 Or, you know, we call them toots. So, or they 00:02:01.239 --> 00:02:03.620 tooted Ed in here, you know, so excuse me. I'm 00:02:03.620 --> 00:02:05.459 like, oh, that was really good manners. Okay, 00:02:05.659 --> 00:02:07.920 okay. So definitely a little different maybe. 00:02:08.599 --> 00:02:12.500 No, my littlest is like, oh, open in the oven. 00:02:12.819 --> 00:02:17.120 Oh my. Like, I mean, yeah, I live in a frat house. 00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:20.310 I swear to God it's. getting worse by the day 00:02:20.310 --> 00:02:22.650 the older they get. And my husband's no better. 00:02:22.849 --> 00:02:25.729 He encourages it almost, you know? It's like 00:02:25.729 --> 00:02:28.849 the ringleader. But I gotta say, my youngest, 00:02:29.770 --> 00:02:34.750 he cracks me up. The other day, he literally 00:02:34.750 --> 00:02:38.830 believes that mommy farts once a year. And I'm 00:02:38.830 --> 00:02:43.939 like, yeah, I'm not about to correct that. No. 00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:46.919 No idea. I was laughing so hard. I'm like, so 00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:49.020 when does this one day a year happen? He goes, 00:02:49.340 --> 00:02:51.300 well, it's coming up, Mom. It's like Mother's 00:02:51.300 --> 00:02:54.080 Day. So my time is coming. Your time is coming. 00:02:54.360 --> 00:02:59.780 My time is near. It's so funny. They're so funny. 00:03:00.060 --> 00:03:02.860 Yeah. I hope they go through life always believing 00:03:02.860 --> 00:03:06.460 that, no, my mom only farted once a year. It's 00:03:06.460 --> 00:03:07.780 right near me. Or maybe you'll just think that 00:03:07.780 --> 00:03:09.759 about girls, and that's amazing. I love that. 00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:12.349 I love that for them and for us. Yeah, right. 00:03:12.509 --> 00:03:16.689 So funny. So there's so many differences, right? 00:03:17.189 --> 00:03:20.030 Like, because I have two girls, you have two 00:03:20.030 --> 00:03:23.310 boys. Yeah, we're so alike, but we live in such 00:03:23.310 --> 00:03:26.389 different habitats. Really do. True. You're stepping 00:03:26.389 --> 00:03:29.169 on Legos, I'm stepping on Barbie shoes. Oh, that's 00:03:29.169 --> 00:03:31.090 true. Yeah, kind of similar. I guess that's kind 00:03:31.090 --> 00:03:35.150 of the same, but yeah. I mean, how do you, I 00:03:35.150 --> 00:03:37.870 bet you get to enjoy like a clean toilet seat. 00:03:37.930 --> 00:03:41.259 I always have to check because I mean, Literally 00:03:41.259 --> 00:03:43.259 every day there's pee on the seat. They I don't 00:03:43.259 --> 00:03:45.219 know what's wrong with their aim. I thought I 00:03:45.219 --> 00:03:48.439 taught them correctly I mean, well, yeah, but 00:03:48.439 --> 00:03:51.379 your girl teaching them, right? I'm sure Steve 00:03:51.379 --> 00:03:55.780 helped but I got pretty You know inventive with 00:03:55.780 --> 00:03:58.379 my teaching approach. I used the squirt gun and 00:03:58.379 --> 00:04:03.259 I had great aim and They just they're they're 00:04:03.259 --> 00:04:06.099 lacking that ability. Yeah. No, we're good with 00:04:06.099 --> 00:04:08.500 the seat department. Maybe a little dribble, 00:04:08.500 --> 00:04:11.300 but yeah We're good. Don't have to worry about 00:04:11.300 --> 00:04:14.060 that. That's definitely a difference between 00:04:14.060 --> 00:04:19.040 us. Don't use my toilet unless I've thoroughly 00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:23.040 cleaned it. So bad. All right. So you're good 00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:26.639 with the pee department. I am. What about boogers? 00:04:26.740 --> 00:04:29.560 Have you ever found a booger collection, a wall, 00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:36.259 a sampling of sorts? I have. Nothing crazy, but 00:04:36.259 --> 00:04:40.649 I have. And I'm like, what is that? Yeah, we 00:04:40.649 --> 00:04:43.189 have plenty of tissues in the house, so I don't 00:04:43.189 --> 00:04:45.589 know what that is about, but that's disgusting. 00:04:46.290 --> 00:04:49.490 Yeah, I'm actually surprised that like girls 00:04:49.490 --> 00:04:51.870 go through that too, because I was like cleaning 00:04:51.870 --> 00:04:55.129 my kid's room and I'm like, what is this braille 00:04:55.129 --> 00:04:59.769 on the wall? Like what, like legit, what is this? 00:04:59.970 --> 00:05:04.170 And then, then it hit me and I was like, oh my 00:05:04.170 --> 00:05:08.180 God. Why? Why are you so feral? What does it 00:05:08.180 --> 00:05:10.160 come down to? Maybe they're just lazy, and they 00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:12.339 have to blow their nose, or something's blocking 00:05:12.339 --> 00:05:14.600 it, and they go for it? No, but it's right next 00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:17.339 to his bed. He has a little bunk bed, so it's 00:05:17.339 --> 00:05:21.120 a little nook. And it was all right there. It 00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:27.300 was like, dude, what are we thinking? Why? Oh, 00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:31.100 man. I don't remember ever doing that as a child. 00:05:31.100 --> 00:05:35.759 I don't either. No. They're just gross. Yeah. 00:05:35.920 --> 00:05:42.000 Unless I just haven't found it. Maybe. I feel 00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:43.939 like some of those things, and if they did do 00:05:43.939 --> 00:05:46.220 it, it's definitely more maybe like private, 00:05:46.300 --> 00:05:49.019 like it wouldn't be a noticeable thing. They 00:05:49.019 --> 00:05:51.759 have a lot of, don't look at me like while I 00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:54.439 do this, you know, like a little bit of embarrassment 00:05:54.439 --> 00:05:59.819 and just trying to be, you know, proper. That's 00:05:59.819 --> 00:06:01.639 a good thing. You know, maybe, I don't know, 00:06:01.660 --> 00:06:03.560 a little bit different there for sure. For sure. 00:06:04.260 --> 00:06:07.899 They, uh, I don't know. They're just a whole 00:06:07.899 --> 00:06:10.139 different breed. Yeah. Well, I mean, that's like, 00:06:10.220 --> 00:06:12.540 you grow up, right? Like, boys have cooties, 00:06:12.540 --> 00:06:15.480 and it's just different. I think that they tend 00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:18.220 to be a little, you know, for lack of a better 00:06:18.220 --> 00:06:21.420 word, maybe a little bit, it's a little bit grosser 00:06:21.420 --> 00:06:25.519 in certain ways, right? But I think, like I said, 00:06:25.620 --> 00:06:27.939 the girls probably are gross, too. They just 00:06:27.939 --> 00:06:32.579 do it more privately. I know. Like, I don't know. 00:06:32.579 --> 00:06:36.250 I don't... It's, I'm learning a lot raising two 00:06:36.250 --> 00:06:38.269 boys. I really, I really am. Well, especially 00:06:38.269 --> 00:06:40.230 being a girl. Like your husband's like, oh yeah, 00:06:40.250 --> 00:06:43.189 this is normal. Yeah, exactly. Steve's like, 00:06:43.550 --> 00:06:45.310 well, no, I mean, that's, that's what happens. 00:06:45.470 --> 00:06:47.910 You know, like a rough house. You know, I'm always 00:06:47.910 --> 00:06:51.129 like, you know, get off of that, get off of this. 00:06:51.730 --> 00:06:55.629 Like I, I come a long way. I used to be like 00:06:55.629 --> 00:06:58.230 a very much helicopter mom, especially because 00:06:58.719 --> 00:07:01.199 Yeah, I work in the ER. So I see exactly what 00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:03.860 happens if that chair tips over and you land 00:07:03.860 --> 00:07:06.639 face first, you know Yeah, I can predict what's 00:07:06.639 --> 00:07:09.360 gonna happen But I just let them go out and play 00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:11.600 and they're like the hearty boys back there on 00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:14.339 an adventure and they're like covered in mud 00:07:14.339 --> 00:07:16.600 and they got bugs and they got frogs and they 00:07:16.600 --> 00:07:20.019 got all these things and I'm like What are they 00:07:20.019 --> 00:07:23.319 doing? Yeah, and Steve's like they're boys. That's 00:07:23.319 --> 00:07:25.490 exactly what they're They're doing exactly what 00:07:25.490 --> 00:07:26.889 they're supposed to be doing. Right. They come 00:07:26.889 --> 00:07:29.470 in. They're muddy. They're, yeah. My kids are 00:07:29.470 --> 00:07:31.850 not like that. So even, like they want to go 00:07:31.850 --> 00:07:34.430 outside and we, they're outside a lot, but definitely 00:07:34.430 --> 00:07:38.750 not bugs or God forbid there's a stink bug in 00:07:38.750 --> 00:07:41.410 the house or a spider or something like, no. 00:07:41.589 --> 00:07:43.370 Even playing in the snow, they'll play for a 00:07:43.370 --> 00:07:45.850 very little bit. It's like, oh, I'm cold. I'm 00:07:45.850 --> 00:07:48.009 time. You know, it's time to come in. And I was 00:07:48.009 --> 00:07:49.589 like that. I remember being like that and my 00:07:49.589 --> 00:07:53.100 mom being like, no, I'm locking the door. It 00:07:53.100 --> 00:07:55.379 took me so long to get you dressed. You're staying 00:07:55.379 --> 00:07:56.680 out there for a little bit. Here's another pair 00:07:56.680 --> 00:07:59.660 of gloves, you know? So I feel like there's, 00:07:59.660 --> 00:08:00.920 yeah, definitely a little difference in that. 00:08:00.959 --> 00:08:04.139 My kids are not making mud pies. Yeah, you know, 00:08:04.139 --> 00:08:07.399 I was just, like, daydreaming about my childhood, 00:08:07.399 --> 00:08:10.819 and I actually have to say I was outside in the 00:08:10.819 --> 00:08:14.620 woods quite a bit. We lived across the street 00:08:14.620 --> 00:08:17.160 from the stream and this waterfall, and, like, 00:08:17.180 --> 00:08:20.699 me and my friend, we were outside all day every 00:08:20.699 --> 00:08:23.220 day. But that was like different times, you know? 00:08:23.300 --> 00:08:26.139 You didn't have like this crazy world. You could 00:08:26.139 --> 00:08:28.319 be out there for hours, and your parents had 00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:30.620 no idea where you were. You were just home by 00:08:30.620 --> 00:08:33.580 dinner. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I get that. 00:08:33.639 --> 00:08:35.980 We had more woods growing up than, you know, 00:08:36.039 --> 00:08:39.659 we have at my house now. So there's not really... 00:08:39.659 --> 00:08:42.259 And I am still helicopter -ish. I'm like, there's 00:08:42.259 --> 00:08:45.029 ticks. Don't be well. You know, don't go over 00:08:45.029 --> 00:08:46.690 there. I'll get the ball. There might be poison 00:08:46.690 --> 00:08:49.190 ivy. Like, it's totally different. And my kids 00:08:49.190 --> 00:08:51.250 don't roughhouse either. Like, going back to 00:08:51.250 --> 00:08:56.210 that, they, like, will pick each other up, maybe. 00:08:56.350 --> 00:08:59.269 Like, but it's not anything crazy. Like, if they 00:08:59.269 --> 00:09:02.009 jump across the couch or, like, you know, their 00:09:02.009 --> 00:09:03.750 little table with little chairs, if they jump 00:09:03.750 --> 00:09:06.429 from that to the couch or something, I'm like, 00:09:06.690 --> 00:09:10.529 whoa, that's enough. You're gonna fall. You're 00:09:10.529 --> 00:09:14.019 getting wild. But I'm not used to it. You know 00:09:14.019 --> 00:09:17.700 what I mean? That's the craziest it is, so. That's 00:09:17.700 --> 00:09:21.139 the calmest it is here. Right. That's our baseline. 00:09:21.700 --> 00:09:24.279 Yeah. I know when we're together, our other friends 00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:27.419 who have boys and stuff, sometimes I'm like, 00:09:27.460 --> 00:09:30.179 oh my gosh. Be careful, guys. Be careful. You 00:09:30.179 --> 00:09:31.940 know, I'm so worried about them. And the boy 00:09:31.940 --> 00:09:34.679 moms are like, what are we looking at? They're 00:09:34.679 --> 00:09:37.080 fine. You know? I don't even. What are we worried 00:09:37.080 --> 00:09:39.379 about? Yeah. What are we worried about? Emily, 00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:44.169 relax. Now it's always, always rough housing. 00:09:45.149 --> 00:09:47.870 But in the beginning I was like, why are you 00:09:47.870 --> 00:09:50.909 doing this? I'd be just getting them all snuggly, 00:09:51.250 --> 00:09:55.070 cozy for bed. And then my husband comes in like 00:09:55.070 --> 00:09:59.149 WWE champion and he's doing this and flipping 00:09:59.149 --> 00:10:01.970 them. And I'm like, what are you doing? I literally 00:10:01.970 --> 00:10:05.789 just set the mood. We are all cozy, relaxed. 00:10:06.370 --> 00:10:10.679 And I read that that actually good for them, 00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:13.740 boys, to roughhouse with their father, like, 00:10:13.759 --> 00:10:17.000 for bed and do all this stuff. And so I've lightened 00:10:17.000 --> 00:10:20.799 up a little bit, but still, I'm like, my husband's 00:10:20.799 --> 00:10:23.460 just so accident prone, not for himself, just 00:10:23.460 --> 00:10:28.299 like, if he throws a ball, 99 % of the time, 00:10:28.419 --> 00:10:31.740 it's going to hit exactly in the forehead of 00:10:31.740 --> 00:10:35.860 one of my kids, you know, like, or if he spins 00:10:35.860 --> 00:10:39.879 them around. My little one is guaranteed to get 00:10:39.879 --> 00:10:41.440 hurt, you know? It's just like, he's gonna bang 00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:43.259 his leg on the wall or something. Yeah, like, 00:10:43.399 --> 00:10:45.799 he's just accident -prone. Like, one of our first 00:10:45.799 --> 00:10:49.120 dates, he was trying to be all, like, you know, 00:10:49.240 --> 00:10:51.220 romantic and open the door for me and all these 00:10:51.220 --> 00:10:53.899 things. He slammed my hand in the freaking door. 00:10:54.220 --> 00:10:56.539 Like, my fingers were popping out of the car. 00:10:56.580 --> 00:10:58.779 So you're like, don't do this before bed. I don't 00:10:58.779 --> 00:11:00.559 want to go to the hospital tonight. Yeah. I'm 00:11:00.559 --> 00:11:02.659 like, I'm off tonight. I am off tonight, and 00:11:02.659 --> 00:11:04.500 I'm not going in. So if you want to do this, 00:11:04.679 --> 00:11:08.360 you can sit in the waiting room. No. It's not 00:11:08.360 --> 00:11:12.039 happening. What about like, my kids will sit, 00:11:12.440 --> 00:11:15.120 and they love crafts, and coloring, and Play 00:11:15.120 --> 00:11:17.679 -Doh, and making key chains. Whatever kind of 00:11:17.679 --> 00:11:20.519 kit I can find, they're into it. Usually involves 00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:23.590 a lot of glitter. It's usually very messy. or 00:11:23.590 --> 00:11:26.330 dusty with pigment of some sort. Your kids are 00:11:26.330 --> 00:11:28.570 kind of crafty so they'll sit and do stuff like 00:11:28.570 --> 00:11:33.110 that sometimes. They will sit for a little bit 00:11:33.110 --> 00:11:35.049 and then towards the end they're like rushing 00:11:35.049 --> 00:11:38.450 through their painting and you know it turns 00:11:38.450 --> 00:11:41.330 from what was a masterpiece is now like a pile 00:11:41.330 --> 00:11:44.529 of just mixed colors. Depends on I guess what 00:11:44.529 --> 00:11:47.210 we're working on. My son will sit for hours and 00:11:47.210 --> 00:11:51.919 do Legos when we let him. Loves Legos but No, 00:11:51.980 --> 00:11:55.179 they typically are like on from one thing to 00:11:55.179 --> 00:11:57.980 the next to the next. I mean, I started that 00:11:57.980 --> 00:12:00.360 little art burn in the back and I've dedicated 00:12:00.360 --> 00:12:03.320 like an hour a day in the summer to just be like, 00:12:03.320 --> 00:12:05.779 let's get creative. Let's make a collage. Let's 00:12:05.779 --> 00:12:08.000 do this. Let's paint some rocks. Like, right. 00:12:08.519 --> 00:12:11.080 Whatever. So they've gotten used to like giving 00:12:11.080 --> 00:12:13.980 me an hour. So just like, that's my time. You 00:12:13.980 --> 00:12:16.480 know? Yeah. We have our moments, but my kids 00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:18.919 will sit for hours like dolls or Barbies. You 00:12:18.919 --> 00:12:19.940 know, we're still at that age where they're playing 00:12:19.940 --> 00:12:23.320 with that stuff. and they play school, and for 00:12:23.320 --> 00:12:25.299 the most part, when they're doing something like 00:12:25.299 --> 00:12:27.840 that, they're playing great together. And I think 00:12:27.840 --> 00:12:30.480 we do have fights, I think because they're the 00:12:30.480 --> 00:12:33.659 same sex, but in the same breath, they also have 00:12:33.659 --> 00:12:35.580 a built -in friend. It's very much a love -hate 00:12:35.580 --> 00:12:38.720 relationship, right? Yeah. Yeah. Like, I had 00:12:38.720 --> 00:12:41.759 just one brother, and we played together, for 00:12:41.759 --> 00:12:43.580 sure, but it was more, like, outside, like, common 00:12:43.580 --> 00:12:45.779 things. Like, if I wanted to play school, he 00:12:45.779 --> 00:12:47.639 wasn't gonna sit there and listen to me read 00:12:47.639 --> 00:12:50.419 him books. Mm -hmm. I had to depend on friends 00:12:50.419 --> 00:12:52.100 because I have a brother and a sister But they 00:12:52.100 --> 00:12:54.559 were way older than me like sisters eight years 00:12:54.559 --> 00:12:57.299 older than me So we shared a room and it was 00:12:57.299 --> 00:13:00.799 like on my side was like 101 Dalmatians little 00:13:00.799 --> 00:13:03.580 mermaid on her side was like new kids on the 00:13:03.580 --> 00:13:07.580 block You know, so we were in two different worlds. 00:13:08.139 --> 00:13:10.539 She was not playing Barbies with me So I just 00:13:10.539 --> 00:13:13.279 I was always across the street or my friend's 00:13:13.279 --> 00:13:16.100 house. She was my built -in sister, you know, 00:13:16.100 --> 00:13:21.519 yeah but Yeah, I mean, they fight. It's nothing's 00:13:21.519 --> 00:13:26.360 ever fair enough or, you know, it's just always 00:13:26.360 --> 00:13:32.059 a competition with the two of them. And my little 00:13:32.059 --> 00:13:34.200 one doesn't realize that his brother's two years 00:13:34.200 --> 00:13:36.379 older than him. So, I mean, yeah, sometimes he 00:13:36.379 --> 00:13:39.179 can stay up later or he can talk on the phone 00:13:39.179 --> 00:13:41.820 with his little friends, you know, like, you 00:13:41.820 --> 00:13:44.340 can't always do exactly what your brother's doing 00:13:44.340 --> 00:13:46.980 all the time. Yes, we have that, too. Definitely. 00:13:47.549 --> 00:13:49.149 Definitely. They want to be like their older 00:13:49.149 --> 00:13:51.370 sibling. And, yeah, it's the same. Like, you're 00:13:51.370 --> 00:13:54.169 five and she's eight. And there's a difference. 00:13:54.289 --> 00:13:55.789 When she was five, she didn't get to do that. 00:13:56.549 --> 00:13:58.730 But, yeah. My little one wants to wear whatever 00:13:58.730 --> 00:14:00.850 her sister's wearing. Oh, she's wearing black 00:14:00.850 --> 00:14:02.710 pants? I want to wear black pants. Well, what's 00:14:02.710 --> 00:14:04.710 she wearing to the party? My older daughter's 00:14:04.710 --> 00:14:06.509 like, I don't want her to look like me anymore. 00:14:06.690 --> 00:14:07.990 I don't want... You know, it was one thing. Like, 00:14:07.990 --> 00:14:11.210 I could dress them the same for holidays or different 00:14:11.210 --> 00:14:13.389 things. They thought it was cool. And now, hmm, 00:14:13.649 --> 00:14:15.590 we're getting out of that for sure. Yeah, she's 00:14:15.590 --> 00:14:18.690 finding her own identity. And I was the little 00:14:18.690 --> 00:14:23.110 sister, so I get that. Yeah, totally. Yeah, I 00:14:23.110 --> 00:14:26.169 wanted to be everything my sister was. Mm -hmm. 00:14:26.929 --> 00:14:29.769 Yeah, that's common, though. Yeah. You know, 00:14:29.809 --> 00:14:31.710 like, to want to be, like, your older sibling. 00:14:32.789 --> 00:14:35.690 But the jealousy, we definitely have that. You 00:14:35.690 --> 00:14:37.350 spend more time with her, you're snuggling with 00:14:37.350 --> 00:14:41.179 her more. You know, we try to do, like... games 00:14:41.179 --> 00:14:44.419 or Uno cards or something like that before bed 00:14:44.419 --> 00:14:46.399 to give them a little time because we have activities 00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:48.500 and whatnot after school just to give them a 00:14:48.500 --> 00:14:50.940 little time and sometimes separately like my 00:14:50.940 --> 00:14:52.840 husband will do something with one and I'll do 00:14:52.840 --> 00:14:54.720 something with another and then we switch or 00:14:54.720 --> 00:14:56.919 yeah that's especially if they don't want to 00:14:56.919 --> 00:14:58.600 do the same thing which is totally fine we don't 00:14:58.600 --> 00:15:00.720 have to do the same game or something you know 00:15:00.720 --> 00:15:03.940 but um yeah I think it's it's important because 00:15:03.940 --> 00:15:07.940 then I'm like well nope see you both got 30 minutes 00:15:07.940 --> 00:15:10.340 or 20 minutes each, you know, before bed. And 00:15:10.340 --> 00:15:13.440 it's a lot of that for sure. We started last 00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:16.059 year kind of, I mean, we haven't done it in a 00:15:16.059 --> 00:15:19.100 while, which we probably should, is I would take 00:15:19.100 --> 00:15:22.220 one son out for breakfast, and my husband would 00:15:22.220 --> 00:15:23.840 take the other one out to a different restaurant, 00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:26.139 you know, and we just get like one -on -one time. 00:15:26.240 --> 00:15:28.059 Yeah. And that's really what they're fighting 00:15:28.059 --> 00:15:31.080 for is just that undivided attention. Right. 00:15:31.740 --> 00:15:34.460 And once they get it, their love cup is filled 00:15:34.460 --> 00:15:36.970 and everyone's happy. you can move on with the 00:15:36.970 --> 00:15:39.830 day. I gotta get back into that. It's a good 00:15:39.830 --> 00:15:41.289 reminder to myself. That's a really good idea. 00:15:43.570 --> 00:15:48.309 What else do you have it good with? I mean, body 00:15:48.309 --> 00:15:51.970 odor. Do you have body odor yet? I mean, you 00:15:51.970 --> 00:16:00.649 do, but. I got it. Not really. I would say no, 00:16:00.870 --> 00:16:02.909 but I mean, she just turned eight, so I'm sure 00:16:02.909 --> 00:16:06.600 it's coming. Like we don't, you know, really 00:16:06.600 --> 00:16:08.299 have stinky feet or anything like that. Yeah, 00:16:08.299 --> 00:16:11.220 either. I got stinky feet. I got stinky feet. 00:16:11.240 --> 00:16:14.580 Not me. It's the boys. The boys have stinky feet. 00:16:15.639 --> 00:16:19.340 Yeah. I mean, it's funny. Like my oldest one 00:16:19.340 --> 00:16:22.500 just started getting body odor. And it's coming 00:16:22.500 --> 00:16:26.379 for sure. Yeah. I bought him deodorant and like 00:16:26.379 --> 00:16:28.700 trying to teach him all the things about it. 00:16:29.860 --> 00:16:32.980 And so like my husband, when he sweats, he smells 00:16:32.980 --> 00:16:36.480 like metal. It's weird. He like has this metallic 00:16:36.480 --> 00:16:42.139 body odor. And my little one, the littlest guy, 00:16:42.399 --> 00:16:45.600 he gets the same kind of smell when he sweats, 00:16:45.860 --> 00:16:54.559 like metal. I inherited my dad's body odor. Lucky 00:16:54.559 --> 00:17:01.919 me. What is that? We call it Randy Zandi. It's... 00:17:04.309 --> 00:17:08.470 At least that's what Steve calls it. Yeah. And 00:17:08.470 --> 00:17:12.829 like my dad lost his sense of smell. So he has 00:17:12.829 --> 00:17:18.130 no idea the gift that he gives world with this 00:17:18.130 --> 00:17:21.750 body odor. And I was lucky enough to inherit 00:17:21.750 --> 00:17:26.329 that. And now my oldest son smells like me. So 00:17:26.329 --> 00:17:30.190 I have passed down that family curse of this 00:17:30.190 --> 00:17:33.309 body odor that's just like, whoa. I mean, I... 00:17:33.259 --> 00:17:36.480 I take care of it. I mean, anyone has ever. I 00:17:36.480 --> 00:17:38.420 was like, I've never smelt you. Yeah, I don't 00:17:38.420 --> 00:17:40.599 think anyone has been lucky enough, except for 00:17:40.599 --> 00:17:44.460 my husband. And he will call me out real quick. 00:17:44.680 --> 00:17:47.720 Thank God. Like, I don't think I could date anyone 00:17:47.720 --> 00:17:50.960 ever, if anything were to happen. Like, I would 00:17:50.960 --> 00:17:54.380 just be single forever. Because the other thing 00:17:54.380 --> 00:17:56.579 that I've, you know, I inherited my dad's smell. 00:17:56.759 --> 00:18:00.579 And I mean, I would just be killing it as a guy. 00:18:00.799 --> 00:18:06.859 You know, why? Because I feel like I if I didn't 00:18:06.859 --> 00:18:10.579 take care of like my leg hairs or he'd be hairy. 00:18:11.319 --> 00:18:13.819 I wouldn't be tall, dark and handsome. I'd be 00:18:13.819 --> 00:18:18.200 small, dark and handsome. But I would be like 00:18:18.200 --> 00:18:21.740 a stallion. And that's what my oldest son is. 00:18:21.759 --> 00:18:24.740 He's going to be a knockout. He's going to be 00:18:24.740 --> 00:18:26.660 a knockout. But he's going to have some real 00:18:26.660 --> 00:18:31.430 good all natural deodorant. Yeah, I mean, I Yeah. 00:18:31.769 --> 00:18:34.849 Yeah. But you know, you can't win them all, right? 00:18:34.849 --> 00:18:38.430 I take care of it. You would never know. No. 00:18:38.890 --> 00:18:42.930 Thank God we don't live in the cave ages because 00:18:42.930 --> 00:18:50.630 I would probably be confused for a man. It is 00:18:50.630 --> 00:18:53.329 what it is. But maybe that's why I was supposed 00:18:53.329 --> 00:18:54.829 to be a boy mom. You know, I don't know. Yeah, 00:18:54.829 --> 00:18:58.009 there you go. You understand his body odor. Yeah. 00:18:58.240 --> 00:19:00.279 And I'm going to help him through this time in 00:19:00.279 --> 00:19:04.940 his life. What a good mom. What a good mom. I 00:19:04.940 --> 00:19:06.819 got to change his sheet. So I'm sitting in his 00:19:06.819 --> 00:19:12.619 room right now and I'm like, what is that? Well, 00:19:12.619 --> 00:19:16.200 it's going to be 10 this year. So he's ahead 00:19:16.200 --> 00:19:21.660 of his time. Yeah. So this is funny because this 00:19:21.660 --> 00:19:23.559 has turned into like girl mom versus boy mom. 00:19:23.740 --> 00:19:26.549 Yeah. I'm finding like. We're just off like a 00:19:26.549 --> 00:19:29.089 little bit. It's not too crazy. Yeah, so far 00:19:29.089 --> 00:19:33.069 it's like 50 -50. I mean, you get to play with 00:19:33.069 --> 00:19:36.009 Barbies and all those. I have Legos and action 00:19:36.009 --> 00:19:38.910 figures. Same with movies. Like, you get all 00:19:38.910 --> 00:19:42.109 the good stuff. I do get some fun movies. Yeah, 00:19:42.250 --> 00:19:44.390 you get the Little Mermaid and like Beauty and 00:19:44.390 --> 00:19:50.529 the Beast and I get Venom and Avengers and you 00:19:50.529 --> 00:19:52.859 know, it's like... I really have to talk myself 00:19:52.859 --> 00:19:55.099 into being interested in these movies. You know, 00:19:55.119 --> 00:19:58.339 if I have any common ground with my boys, I got 00:19:58.339 --> 00:20:01.640 to really like Venom. Like, it's... My husband 00:20:01.640 --> 00:20:05.680 is like you, right? Like, he doesn't want to 00:20:05.680 --> 00:20:09.440 play dolls or watch... Yeah, that's true. So, 00:20:09.440 --> 00:20:11.740 like, a guy's perspective would be totally different 00:20:11.740 --> 00:20:15.460 than a mom's. Absolutely. Like, yeah. Like, Steve's 00:20:15.460 --> 00:20:17.819 like, oh, yeah, this is great. Yeah, we win. 00:20:17.960 --> 00:20:21.430 Three to one. We're watching Avengers. Yeah, 00:20:21.869 --> 00:20:26.230 I'm definitely outnumbered and outvoted over 00:20:26.230 --> 00:20:28.869 here where you got your tribe over there. Yeah, 00:20:29.049 --> 00:20:30.509 it's definitely, I mean, obviously the things 00:20:30.509 --> 00:20:32.490 they like right now are different from your boys. 00:20:32.769 --> 00:20:35.029 Like my kids, they want all things girly. They 00:20:35.029 --> 00:20:38.430 want lip gloss and to have their hair done and 00:20:38.430 --> 00:20:41.549 pretty pink things and everything's glitter and 00:20:41.549 --> 00:20:44.289 rainbows. Oh yeah, I left your house the other 00:20:44.289 --> 00:20:47.500 day and I look like I left the strip club. He's 00:20:47.500 --> 00:20:49.779 covered in glitter. That is so true. I was like, 00:20:49.880 --> 00:20:51.759 just don't sit there. Let me dust that off. There's 00:20:51.759 --> 00:20:54.079 a little bit of glitter from the slime. How is 00:20:54.079 --> 00:20:55.900 it getting ready in the morning? Do you have 00:20:55.900 --> 00:20:57.700 to put in a lot of time and effort, like getting 00:20:57.700 --> 00:21:01.039 their hair done and like? It depends. You'd think 00:21:01.039 --> 00:21:03.519 that my kids, because they do like all that stuff, 00:21:03.579 --> 00:21:05.180 they would want their hair done in something 00:21:05.180 --> 00:21:07.940 cool, especially because I can do it. Like I 00:21:07.940 --> 00:21:10.079 could do any kind of braid, any, you know, whatever, 00:21:10.339 --> 00:21:12.240 whatever they wanted. And a lot of times, like, 00:21:12.279 --> 00:21:15.339 can I just have a low ponytail? I'm like, ew. 00:21:16.349 --> 00:21:20.710 Why? I mean, I love a good low ponytail too, 00:21:20.789 --> 00:21:22.569 but probably because I wear my hair up like that 00:21:22.569 --> 00:21:24.730 so much that they're like, oh, that's just what 00:21:24.730 --> 00:21:28.529 you do. But yeah, it depends. Honestly, a lot 00:21:28.529 --> 00:21:31.809 of times it's the clothing and some nights we'll 00:21:31.809 --> 00:21:34.130 pick out clothes beforehand, mainly for my older 00:21:34.130 --> 00:21:36.609 daughter because she leaves first. But that tends 00:21:36.609 --> 00:21:38.950 to be our problem in the morning is more like 00:21:38.950 --> 00:21:42.930 clothes. Well, that sounds girl, you know, because 00:21:42.930 --> 00:21:45.049 like, oh, this doesn't match this or I want to 00:21:45.049 --> 00:21:46.690 wear these shoes, but I can't because I have 00:21:46.690 --> 00:21:51.490 gym or, you know. So I already see what middle 00:21:51.490 --> 00:21:53.309 school and high school will look like for sure. 00:21:53.470 --> 00:21:55.730 And they wear each other's stuff. Like my little 00:21:55.730 --> 00:21:58.089 one, obviously her sister's stuff is a little 00:21:58.089 --> 00:22:00.809 bit big, but she can get away with some of the 00:22:00.809 --> 00:22:03.529 things, you know. Today, she tried to put on 00:22:03.529 --> 00:22:06.089 her pant, my older daughter's pants. And I was 00:22:06.089 --> 00:22:08.859 like, oh, honey, you can't. They're far too long. 00:22:09.279 --> 00:22:11.220 You cannot do that. And sometimes it would be 00:22:11.220 --> 00:22:13.420 a fight, you know, and she didn't. Okay. So that 00:22:13.420 --> 00:22:16.359 was good. We had a really good morning. So, the 00:22:16.359 --> 00:22:19.880 mornings are, yeah. But the other day my older 00:22:19.880 --> 00:22:21.460 daughter was trying to wear a little bit of, 00:22:21.720 --> 00:22:23.579 she got some makeup for her birthday from a friend 00:22:23.579 --> 00:22:25.160 and she was trying to put some on for school. 00:22:25.180 --> 00:22:29.460 And I'm like, okay, that's enough. You're eight, 00:22:29.500 --> 00:22:32.039 that's for play or like your dance competitions. 00:22:32.299 --> 00:22:35.920 This is, you don't wear it to second grade. It's 00:22:35.920 --> 00:22:38.259 hilarious, and it was picture day, right? It 00:22:38.259 --> 00:22:40.119 was picture day, and I think that's why. And 00:22:40.119 --> 00:22:42.079 she was telling me she didn't have it on, but 00:22:42.079 --> 00:22:43.940 she did. She looked like she got punched in her 00:22:43.940 --> 00:22:47.359 right cheek with blush. So I was like, please 00:22:47.359 --> 00:22:49.720 send a message to the teacher that we didn't 00:22:49.720 --> 00:22:53.680 slap her before we sent her on the bus. Can you 00:22:53.680 --> 00:22:55.460 clip me off one of those pictures? I'd love to 00:22:55.460 --> 00:23:00.619 see it. It was great. How are they with hygiene? 00:23:00.759 --> 00:23:02.940 Are they good with like showers, brushing teeth? 00:23:03.119 --> 00:23:05.960 All the things, changing underwear. Yeah, they're 00:23:05.960 --> 00:23:07.740 totally good with the underwear thing. We do 00:23:07.740 --> 00:23:10.640 baths every night. I'm a little crazy about that. 00:23:10.980 --> 00:23:12.319 So I feel like they're hygiene that they're so 00:23:12.319 --> 00:23:13.960 used to it. And they should be used to brushing 00:23:13.960 --> 00:23:17.140 their teeth, but that's our biggest fight. And 00:23:17.140 --> 00:23:21.339 I'm pretty raw about it. I'm like, you are going 00:23:21.339 --> 00:23:23.460 to lose all your teeth and we're going to have 00:23:23.460 --> 00:23:25.799 to put in wooden teeth. So that's going to be 00:23:25.799 --> 00:23:28.839 really hard and not a good conversation starter. 00:23:29.380 --> 00:23:31.990 Not a good look either. Not a good look. You 00:23:31.990 --> 00:23:33.410 know, my little one is a little bit better right 00:23:33.410 --> 00:23:35.990 now, but maybe that will change. But, you know, 00:23:35.990 --> 00:23:37.089 it's always like, did you brush your teeth yet? 00:23:37.130 --> 00:23:38.410 Did you brush your teeth? Go upstairs, go brush 00:23:38.410 --> 00:23:40.809 your teeth. It's... We've tried, like, doing 00:23:40.809 --> 00:23:42.990 the toothbrushes on our first floor off the kitchen 00:23:42.990 --> 00:23:45.230 so they can brush their teeth down there. Maybe 00:23:45.230 --> 00:23:47.950 that's better, but... I know, you try all the 00:23:47.950 --> 00:23:51.009 things. Oh, my God. Lately, I've been playing 00:23:51.009 --> 00:23:53.349 their favorite songs while they're in the shower, 00:23:53.349 --> 00:23:55.809 so it's, like, fun, and... That's a good idea. 00:23:56.390 --> 00:23:58.809 Yeah, and just they have, like, a moment to themselves, 00:23:58.849 --> 00:24:01.589 you know? Yeah. So we've been listening to a 00:24:01.589 --> 00:24:06.009 lot of Elton John. I love it. Are they good about 00:24:06.009 --> 00:24:08.849 taking baths and all that? We haven't done a 00:24:08.849 --> 00:24:12.009 bath in a very long time, but they're good. Showers, 00:24:12.210 --> 00:24:15.029 they're good. We have a problem with like, we'll 00:24:15.029 --> 00:24:18.490 get home from school and say we're not showering 00:24:18.490 --> 00:24:20.269 that day. And I'm just like, all right, go up 00:24:20.269 --> 00:24:23.309 and change. For some reason, they're really connected 00:24:23.309 --> 00:24:25.609 to their socks and their underwear. They don't 00:24:25.609 --> 00:24:28.460 change. And I'm like, I'm doing a body check, 00:24:28.779 --> 00:24:30.839 like you're, show me your underwear. I want new 00:24:30.839 --> 00:24:33.799 underwear, you know? I want fresh shoes on. Yeah, 00:24:33.900 --> 00:24:37.099 please. And with all the farts, like, no, you 00:24:37.099 --> 00:24:40.480 need a new pair of underwear. Yeah. But they're 00:24:40.480 --> 00:24:44.019 always like, potty, potty talk, I feel. Yeah. 00:24:44.319 --> 00:24:47.680 You know, like, any, anything. It could just 00:24:47.680 --> 00:24:51.259 be like, it sounds like fart, and they start 00:24:51.259 --> 00:24:54.339 giggling. Rhymes with. Rhymes with, yes. And 00:24:54.339 --> 00:24:58.420 it's hysterical. And... I mean, it is funny, 00:24:58.660 --> 00:25:00.940 even just like the girl who farted in yoga. Like, 00:25:00.940 --> 00:25:05.420 that's funny. I giggled. You can help it. I don't 00:25:05.420 --> 00:25:07.559 know how she recovered from that. I don't think 00:25:07.559 --> 00:25:10.680 I'd ever show my face again. I'd be devastated 00:25:10.680 --> 00:25:13.420 and be like, well, crap. Now I have to find a 00:25:13.420 --> 00:25:16.140 whole new yoga situation. I'll be practicing 00:25:16.140 --> 00:25:20.319 at home now. Yeah, the poor thing. Oh, yikes. 00:25:21.059 --> 00:25:23.779 But I mean, I only fart once a year, so I don't 00:25:23.779 --> 00:25:26.279 know what that's like. It's really difficult 00:25:26.279 --> 00:25:29.000 when you only do it that one time. Yeah, no. 00:25:29.579 --> 00:25:33.019 No, no, no. How about, like, can your girls just 00:25:33.019 --> 00:25:37.259 go from the door to the car? Yeah. Yes, definitely. 00:25:37.740 --> 00:25:41.779 Yes, they can. But getting them to the door is 00:25:41.779 --> 00:25:45.819 my problem. It's like selective hearing. And 00:25:45.819 --> 00:25:47.619 I'll ask them. Our big problem, I feel like, 00:25:47.799 --> 00:25:50.319 is just getting their shoes on. Like, I'll ask 00:25:50.319 --> 00:25:53.460 four or five times. It's the same thing getting 00:25:53.460 --> 00:25:55.819 them, you know, dressed or pajamas like it's 00:25:55.819 --> 00:25:57.960 time you have this amount of time left can you 00:25:57.960 --> 00:26:00.599 please get your whatever on and they're like 00:26:00.599 --> 00:26:03.160 mom why are you yelling i'm like because i've 00:26:03.160 --> 00:26:06.259 asked you four or five times no you didn't you 00:26:06.259 --> 00:26:11.140 just asked us like it what no gentle parenting 00:26:11.140 --> 00:26:15.079 works for like gentle kids and i'm gentle for 00:26:15.079 --> 00:26:19.900 like the fourth time asking and then i turn into 00:26:19.900 --> 00:26:23.519 tyrannosaurus rex like it's same bad I have like 00:26:23.519 --> 00:26:25.880 a voice that I do, and my husband's like, that 00:26:25.880 --> 00:26:30.559 voice is terrible. Like, I hate that voice. I 00:26:30.559 --> 00:26:32.759 try to make it really mean and like, aggressive. 00:26:33.000 --> 00:26:37.519 Like, this means now. You know, but... It's funny, 00:26:37.559 --> 00:26:40.380 like, your kids are this, like, they're like 00:26:40.380 --> 00:26:43.779 your pride and joy, but then they turn you into 00:26:43.779 --> 00:26:46.319 something you don't even recognize. There's no 00:26:46.319 --> 00:26:51.240 one in this world who can get me angrier than... 00:26:50.960 --> 00:26:55.640 my two little boys. Yeah. Yeah, I know. Maybe 00:26:55.640 --> 00:26:57.700 it's because you made them and they're a part 00:26:57.700 --> 00:27:00.019 of you and you're just like, why are you hurting 00:27:00.019 --> 00:27:03.700 me? Why don't you listen? No, but to the door, 00:27:03.740 --> 00:27:06.940 to the car, totally fine. Usually bickering on 00:27:06.940 --> 00:27:09.500 our way there, but my problem would be getting 00:27:09.500 --> 00:27:12.619 them to the door. I can get them to the door 00:27:12.619 --> 00:27:16.720 after I use my mom voice. And for some reason, 00:27:16.960 --> 00:27:21.849 it could be the simplest task. and they have 00:27:21.849 --> 00:27:25.410 to find the hardest route to get there. They're 00:27:25.410 --> 00:27:27.089 climbing, they're jumping, they're doing this, 00:27:27.250 --> 00:27:30.069 they're swinging, they're twirling, they're jumping 00:27:30.069 --> 00:27:32.829 from this wall to that wall to this. It's like 00:27:32.829 --> 00:27:36.349 an... It's like parkour. Yeah, that's exactly 00:27:36.349 --> 00:27:40.809 it. Anywhere we go in life is a parkour course. 00:27:41.309 --> 00:27:47.130 The grocery store, the... Anywhere. On our way 00:27:47.130 --> 00:27:49.910 to church, like, it's like, I'm like, get it 00:27:49.910 --> 00:27:52.230 together, you know? And I'm like, we are not 00:27:52.230 --> 00:27:54.829 jumping around in church. Yeah, it's like, what 00:27:54.829 --> 00:27:58.769 the? Why? Why? I don't know. Just walk. Right. 00:27:58.769 --> 00:28:00.549 Can we just walk like a human being, please? 00:28:01.109 --> 00:28:03.289 They just had to get their wigglies out. Oh, 00:28:03.289 --> 00:28:04.670 they got so many wigglies. Lots of wigglies, 00:28:04.829 --> 00:28:08.130 yeah. Their endless pit of wiggles. Yeah. But 00:28:08.130 --> 00:28:10.130 it's cute. Yeah, of course. In one day. Now talking 00:28:10.130 --> 00:28:11.890 about it, it's cute, but in the moment, it's 00:28:11.890 --> 00:28:15.430 like, I know. I want to die. I'm so mad at you. 00:28:15.819 --> 00:28:22.259 I know. The one thing that drives me absolutely 00:28:22.259 --> 00:28:25.079 insane, which I don't think will ever be cute, 00:28:26.160 --> 00:28:31.660 is like the weird, like they're just, everything's 00:28:31.660 --> 00:28:33.660 a joke. Like a constant jiggle? Yeah, constant 00:28:33.660 --> 00:28:36.359 joking around, constant like, oh, mom's mad. 00:28:36.839 --> 00:28:39.160 Let's see, like, you know, it's just, it never 00:28:39.160 --> 00:28:43.009 ends. And I'm like. Steve, I swear to God, and 00:28:43.009 --> 00:28:45.009 he's like, it's just a guy, it's a guy thing. 00:28:45.089 --> 00:28:46.789 Like, you just joke around, da -da -da -da, and 00:28:46.789 --> 00:28:51.569 I'm like, I can't listen to the snickers. And 00:28:51.569 --> 00:28:55.029 it's just like, oh my God, if they're not grumpy 00:28:55.029 --> 00:28:58.609 old men, they're Beavis and Butthead. It's like, 00:28:58.970 --> 00:29:01.250 it's one thing or another, you know? They play 00:29:01.250 --> 00:29:04.930 their character well. They, yeah. I mean, they're 00:29:04.930 --> 00:29:07.650 either bickering over things that neither one 00:29:07.650 --> 00:29:10.509 of them really know the truth of. You know, like 00:29:10.509 --> 00:29:14.509 two senile men in a nursing home, or they're 00:29:14.509 --> 00:29:16.309 in cahoots and they're trying to drive their 00:29:16.309 --> 00:29:19.450 mama mad. Yeah, I feel like that's the same. 00:29:19.789 --> 00:29:22.890 I say to them sometimes, I wish I could film 00:29:22.890 --> 00:29:27.029 you so you can see that you're upset over... 00:29:27.029 --> 00:29:28.170 I don't know, I can't even think of anything 00:29:28.170 --> 00:29:30.329 right now, but like... Yeah, because it's just 00:29:30.329 --> 00:29:32.690 so stupid. It's so silly. And you would laugh, 00:29:32.710 --> 00:29:35.410 you would giggle at what you're hearing yourself 00:29:35.410 --> 00:29:39.599 say, you know? Someday I will. Film them I have 00:29:39.599 --> 00:29:42.400 to because it's it would make me laugh too. Maybe 00:29:42.400 --> 00:29:44.359 and make it lighter for me at the moment It doesn't 00:29:44.359 --> 00:29:47.559 feel like I know at the moment. I have to like 00:29:47.559 --> 00:29:50.259 count to a hundred before I sound so similar 00:29:50.259 --> 00:29:52.299 though We're doing like it's the same thing. 00:29:52.740 --> 00:29:55.920 I feel like there's not much Boy mom verse girl 00:29:55.920 --> 00:29:59.160 mom here as much as I thought they would be yeah, 00:29:59.220 --> 00:30:01.859 not not as much I thought we would be on totally 00:30:01.859 --> 00:30:06.039 different planes, but I think one one where I 00:30:06.039 --> 00:30:10.880 would actually be thankful that I have boys is 00:30:10.880 --> 00:30:15.720 lice. I have not experienced lice in this house, 00:30:15.900 --> 00:30:19.160 but I imagine that if we did, I mean, I could 00:30:19.160 --> 00:30:23.079 easily shave their head where you have a full 00:30:23.079 --> 00:30:27.940 -time job that you have to deal with. Yeah, and 00:30:27.940 --> 00:30:32.420 we have. We just had lice and it was horrible. 00:30:32.720 --> 00:30:36.259 The girls had it and it was not fun. Not fun 00:30:36.259 --> 00:30:38.410 at all. And of course, Even if you cut their 00:30:38.410 --> 00:30:40.890 hair shorter, like it's still on the scalp, you 00:30:40.890 --> 00:30:43.329 know, and it's crazy in my whole career I have 00:30:43.329 --> 00:30:46.970 never seen it in almost 20 years on anybody's 00:30:46.970 --> 00:30:49.650 child or a client or anything like that It's 00:30:49.650 --> 00:30:52.630 not been in the salon. But so my first experience 00:30:52.630 --> 00:30:56.109 to physically see it on my daughter's hair was 00:30:56.109 --> 00:31:01.549 shocking Just shocking but um Yeah, that's not 00:31:01.549 --> 00:31:04.829 really the most fun. It's definitely tens, you 00:31:04.829 --> 00:31:07.839 know in some more research it definitely tends 00:31:07.839 --> 00:31:09.220 to happen to girls because their hair's long. 00:31:09.940 --> 00:31:12.700 Oh, yeah. It's long. They're, like, more snuggly. 00:31:13.279 --> 00:31:14.960 Like, you know, they're rushing it. They're, 00:31:15.000 --> 00:31:17.720 you know, they might share an elastic or a headband 00:31:17.720 --> 00:31:22.140 or a hat or, you know, winter, the earmuffs or 00:31:22.140 --> 00:31:25.700 whatever. And, yeah, touch someone's head. You 00:31:25.700 --> 00:31:28.299 know what? Dance. It runs rampant, like, through 00:31:28.299 --> 00:31:31.140 dance studios, gymnastics. Yeah. Girlie. I'll 00:31:31.140 --> 00:31:34.859 take boys any day over lice. Oh, my God. Yeah, 00:31:34.859 --> 00:31:39.200 that one's a tough one. But it happens to a lot 00:31:39.200 --> 00:31:41.740 of people. I know. It happened to me when I was 00:31:41.740 --> 00:31:44.440 a little girl. Yeah. I definitely got it from 00:31:44.440 --> 00:31:47.140 some sleepover. Well, yeah, right. Sleepovers, 00:31:47.299 --> 00:31:50.759 yeah, yeah. Both. Yeah. Disgusting. Yeah, I know. 00:31:50.759 --> 00:31:52.319 So, yeah, you would just shave their heads and 00:31:52.319 --> 00:31:53.940 give them two months. Oh, absolutely. I'd be 00:31:53.940 --> 00:31:56.539 like, no, we're playing military today. Yeah. 00:31:57.259 --> 00:32:00.079 And we are. Line up. Yeah. Or shaving my head 00:32:00.079 --> 00:32:03.599 off. Yep. Who's going first? Yeah. Oh, I know. 00:32:04.550 --> 00:32:09.369 So, I mean, after discussing our mutual habitats, 00:32:09.910 --> 00:32:12.690 we pretty much, I mean, mine's a little stinkier, 00:32:13.029 --> 00:32:15.730 maybe a little stickier, and definitely a little 00:32:15.730 --> 00:32:18.670 bit more aggressive. Yeah, right. Mine's a little 00:32:18.670 --> 00:32:22.130 calmer, cleaner. Well, you got the glitter. Yeah. 00:32:22.769 --> 00:32:25.009 They like to craft, so we definitely have some 00:32:25.009 --> 00:32:27.769 sticky areas. But it's really not that different. 00:32:28.450 --> 00:32:33.359 No. I think kids are kids. And I think... you 00:32:33.359 --> 00:32:36.420 know, we're just trying our best to figure it 00:32:36.420 --> 00:32:39.240 out every single day. Because it's, as soon as 00:32:39.240 --> 00:32:41.059 you think you have something down, it's like, 00:32:41.059 --> 00:32:45.200 okay, we're onto this stage, you know? Absolutely. 00:32:45.500 --> 00:32:47.099 I remember someone telling me that one of our 00:32:47.099 --> 00:32:50.039 good friends, just like, after you've mastered 00:32:50.039 --> 00:32:54.079 that phase, it's a new phase. So don't like, 00:32:54.279 --> 00:32:56.339 don't get comfy, because you're going to be learning 00:32:56.339 --> 00:33:00.859 something else. Yeah, don't, don't get too comfy. 00:33:01.119 --> 00:33:04.359 with your calmness and your cleanliness. I know. 00:33:04.359 --> 00:33:05.779 Because those stinky feet are going to come. 00:33:05.859 --> 00:33:07.779 They're coming. Oh, I'm sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 00:33:08.339 --> 00:33:11.279 For sure. We wear deodorant just in case, kind 00:33:11.279 --> 00:33:13.319 of, at this point. But sometimes she's a little 00:33:13.319 --> 00:33:15.220 stinky. You know, it happens. We're getting there. 00:33:15.859 --> 00:33:18.559 Hopefully she doesn't inherit her dad's BO. You 00:33:18.559 --> 00:33:22.339 know? If you need someone to talk to, I'm always 00:33:22.339 --> 00:33:25.019 here to help. He's not really stinky, so she'll 00:33:25.019 --> 00:33:29.460 be lucky. Hopefully she does, honestly. So, okay, 00:33:29.480 --> 00:33:31.779 with that being said, let's leave you with a 00:33:31.779 --> 00:33:37.059 quote about parenting. Okay? It is unknown. I 00:33:37.059 --> 00:33:39.400 do not know who wrote this, but it says, being 00:33:39.400 --> 00:33:42.140 a parent can be tough, but just remember that 00:33:42.140 --> 00:33:44.759 in your child's eyes, nobody does it better than 00:33:44.759 --> 00:33:48.819 you. I love that. Right? Because some days it's 00:33:48.819 --> 00:33:52.859 hard, but they love you no matter what. Yeah. 00:33:53.019 --> 00:33:56.599 And you them, obviously. And I think you are... 00:33:56.200 --> 00:33:58.900 definitely meant to be your kid's parent, regardless 00:33:58.900 --> 00:34:02.240 if it's, you know, if you're a boy mom, girl 00:34:02.240 --> 00:34:04.160 mom, or you have one of each, or you have three 00:34:04.160 --> 00:34:07.319 of each. However, those children were meant to 00:34:07.319 --> 00:34:12.000 be in your life for a reason. Agreed. That's 00:34:12.000 --> 00:34:15.280 all for today. I hope you guys survive this week 00:34:15.280 --> 00:34:18.659 with your kids or just life in general. And as 00:34:18.659 --> 00:34:20.059 always, keep it good.
