Tuesday or whatever day you listen to your favorite podcast in the world. How are we? We're good. We're feeling good in the hood. It's only been a few days since we've been in the hot seats, but we're back. I know it feels like yesterday we were here. You probably were. Pretty much.

But since then, we have had the weekend and we did our wellness event, which thankfully did go really well. Went really well. I think everyone enjoyed it. With good feedback. Yeah, it was great brands involved. Should we say a quick thank you again? Yeah, let's do it.

We have to say thanks to cosmetic consult for giving us body transformation pads for every single guest. I know how nice. Gorgeous. We have to say thanks to Tripp, which we actually have here today. We've got a few cans left over here. I'm trying the new Sicilian lemon, Zaz. Is it nice? Yeah, it's really nice.

I think I tried that. I love lemon. I've got the Welsh strawberry. That's my favourite. Tripp who gave us cans for every single guest as well. We have to say thanks to primal. Primal. Who supplied all of our mats for the mat Pilates and resistance bands.

Yeah, a few girlies asked to take the glute bands back because the resistance was so good and strong that they wanted to keep them. It was a nice thick band as well. You know, when they're thin they fold over and they curve round and all that. It's annoying. I don't want for myself actually to do a few classes at home, you know. Love that. Maybe we'll, maybe won't. Probably won't.

And also a big thanks to the court who allowed us to hold our event there. Yes. We also had annies on the court that were queued out of the door. We had all our panel members, all our small businesses, Sophie who owns Irish Pilates, who was doing the mat and reformer with us as well. So thanks to everyone involved. Lucy did the mat.

And Lucy did the mat. Classes. Sorry, yeah. Affiliated with our studio. That's correct. Gorgeous event. Really, really gorgeous. Probably millions of people we forgot to thank. But it was just so lovely.

And thank you so much to all of you guys that came along as well because I think you had so much fun and a few people just said like every time you come, you know you're guaranteed to have such a good time and people came on their own and they weren't bothered because they just know that when you get there

everyone's going to be so sound and the paddle I'm obsessed with paddle had a little bit of a shot and one of the lovely ladies from Pounce Paddle who was an actual Edinburgh business by the way, did you know that?

She's created these amazing rackets for she says it's for the girlies but it's definitely for the girlies in the gays because she said who was it off traitors. It wasn't Steve enough traitors, but it was somebody else that's quite iconic.

Okay. And he bought one, he got the leopard print one, and he absolutely loved it. And her cousin was gay, and he was like, I cannot believe he's bought a racket from you. Like, that is just iconic for you.

So, I think she's going to be massive. And she just said that she's just been on something similar to like Dragon's Den. And she got given quite a big chunk of money free funding for marketing in London. So she's going to potentially choose to go on like, either the underground or like the big billboards in Kensington. So watch this space for Pats Paddle, by the way.

I think that's going to be a massive big brand for ladies rackets. That's so cool. And we got a racket. I chose a leopard print one actually. Did you choose a leopard print one? Yeah. I thought you'd get the green one. No.

But what a good gift that will be. We can add that to a gift guide when we do it at Christmas for anyone that's into it. And she said she looks at the demographic of her customers. And although it's for women, a lot of men buy it for their like ladies or maybe themselves. But yeah. Yeah. So cool. Really cute. just means we need to get into paddle now.

Yeah, I think we need to. I'm so shite at racket sports. I can't explain it enough. There's just a disconnect somewhere happening between my eyes and my hand. It's a lot to think about. It doesn't quite hit when it's meant to. Like I miss it.

Yeah. And with paddle, I have played it before with Jason. I was terrible. The fact that it's allowed to bounce off the walls throws me because I'm like, whoa. Like I'm shielding. I'm a shite bag. when it comes to being hit by a ball.

Whereas I think I prefer when it just, let's just not hit it. Why we don't need to hit it off the walls. But it's not that you hit it off the walls, but you can let it bounce off them. I think that's also though because there was two of us where it's typically play four.

So you maybe don't need the walls as much. But we're going to give it a bash, aren't we? Yeah, 100%. But I don't know like that. But yeah, thank you so much everyone that came and hope to see you at our next event, whatever that may be. How exciting.

We're already making plans, honestly. It never stops over here. Never bloody stops. Right, what's on today's episode? What is? What is on today's episode? Are you telling? Well, we have quite a few emails and a few dilemmas.

And there was the biggest, juiciest email came in this morning, Zoe. You've not read it yet. I've not read it. And I was like, oh, my God, this is. This is crazy. Crazy, crazy. But the first line was like, can we keep this on Patreon, please? So, lucky for you if you're on Patreon.

So we'll save that over for side dish this week. But, yeah, let's talk about the weekend. I did say on Patreon last week that I was going to the Barra's and I went. How was your baddest trip? So good. The weather was crap, sadly. And there was quite a few things sold out. But I went to a really nice place called Pop Up.

I mean, if you've been to the Barrows recently, it is full to the brim of street food. Like there's a nice area of it where they're all around. Is this outside of the inside? It is, yes. It's still all clothes and everything, mainly, in the inside bit. Yeah, but there is also some really popular food stands in there as well. Wow.

I think it was it, is Alma, Alma Mexican tacos that's inside. Right. Cue down the whole place. When I got there, they only had pork tacos left, so I didn't get in the queue for that because I don't love pork tacos, to be honest. But I went to a place called pop-up for steak and friets and Cafe de Parry Butter. It was sensational, Zoe.

Then I also tried that Anxious Piz pizza. You seen that? I'm not seen that. It's new. I like the name. Yeah, it's cute, isn't it? It's pizza by the slice. And there was a Tuscan sausage a la vodka pizza.

Yeah, just everything that we would love. So good and really crispy, really nice and thin, delicious. Really recommend that. Had that hot honey sides. I love that. hot honey with a pizza. There was loads of stuff like that. Then Hartie came along with us as well

and he got the Girass next door. I can't remember what that was cool but it was a Greek place right next door. And then they all had the burgers from another place which was next to the pop-up van. I really wanted to have that crumble. Banana pudding and crumble crumbologist or something like that.

Have you seen it? It is crumbologist. They've messaged us before. Have they? Send us their crumble. Damn it. Let's get back to them. They have.

But they have like a. joint cart food fan had my stuff went back so went in for a little bit of a shop I tried an amazing

matcher there's a really good Japanese matcher store inside the barriers where all the like the Western shop is

where the cowboy boots so I've seen that yeah and they came back out to go and get the banana pudding

and the fucking shushes was shot as for you yeah is this a banana pudding by the way

that's meant to be like Magnolia bakery in New York right right

I've seen something about that recently yes on the old TikTok I think

yeah it is on TikTok I'd like to try that because I enjoyed that in New York Well I really want to go back and try the other stall So why don't we go back to the Barra's? Okay I won't take Jensen because that child

That child I apologise for anyone that's seen me with Jensen On Saturday because it was just crazy I've never seen him so feral in my life He wanted out that pram I was like fine He was off any sort of exit route He wanted to find it

Yeah He didn't care where it was Every door was a a new mystery to solve to him. He didn't care. Like there's no stranger danger to that child either. No. He just goes up and chat, chat, chat, chat to everyone.

Running off and then when I'd pick him up, he was like, you know what, you see kids in film where they were like a fish out of a fucking goldfish bowl in my arm. And I was just looking at people like, oh my God. He's just in that like discovery stage where everything's like a mission, everything's new. Yeah. Everything's like entertainment to him.

It's extremely inquisitive. Yeah. So, yeah, that was really chaotic. So I just thought to myself, I really want to come back and just be able to browse the stalls without him going, yeah, that's fair. So let's do that. And then we can get some nice videos and I want to do like a nice roundup reel of all the places

that I've been to at the barriers. I know you can find hundreds of them on TikTok, but I'll find you the best ones. It's good in the one place. Yeah, exactly. And also people have followed you for a while who now know that they like what you like. Correct. It means that when you recommend the stuff, they know they'll like it too. Yes.

We've all got the same taste. Yeah. We like that. A bit class, do you know what I mean? A bit of class. A bit of class. A bit of trash. Maybe that's why they like it.

It's a good mix of both. It is. Absolutely, it is. I mean, you can't have full class at the bar as. We'll say that. No, you can't. We'll say that, but that's what we love about it. You do.

It's very often coming around that area, though. People are loving the bars. You know, I went as well. I went to St. Luke's after for a drink. that was really nice. I let kids in until, I think it was 8pm, so we sat outside there. And I really wanted to go to the gate.

Oh, yes. For a cocktail, but they don't have their license for children. So I'm going to, me and you can go for a cocktail afterwards. We can go to the gate? Yeah, let's do that, Zoe. When can we do that? Oh, anytime you wish. We're spending on Saturdays and Sundays.

Anytime you wish. Your wish is my command. Okay, fine. Let's organize that. Your wish is my command. And then on Patreon last week. And you'll have seen it on my story this week as well, but that fucking term is so.

So we were right when we said on the podcast that I said, what a lovely date to type out, 25th of the 5th of the 5th, I know. 25 and you went, do you mean 26? I feel like I could see the wee things like ticking in my brain. Ticking in my brain. And I thought, but I just assumed you'd got it wrong on the podcast, but actually you did get the stencil wrong.

But not only that, Zoe, I wanted to create a stencil for a tiramisu where the text would be the cream and everything else would be cut out so I could dust the chocolate on top. So when you lift it off, it was just the white. But obviously that was the wrong way around as well So it was just the chocolate dusting was just the date And the engaged sign Right, okay

Never at any goddamn point When I'm actually dusting it, I even feel me dusting it Had I recognised all my friend that lazied it for me Said, is the year wrong? So I put it down in front of them and I says You know, not that you would notice that this is wrong But I really wanted it the opposite way round And he looked to me and went

Not the fact that the date's wrong though I'm like, you fucking joking me it tasted like shit and all. Why did it taste like shit? Because the fingers that you soak in like coffee and brandy or whatever you're meant to soak them for three to four hours or overnight but I probably did it for an hour

I was too impatient I didn't have enough time as at the barris all day. I know your voice thought to me about six or seven o'clock and you're really a bit I'm just heading back to make dinner and I thought I know that they're fucking starving and you're living at. I didn't eat until like 9pm. Yeah.

But I made like dough from wild potatoes stuffed chicken with What was it? Borsin cream cheese with spinach, sunried tomatoes, wrapped in parma ham, loads of parmesan, fresh broccoli with lots of nice butter and salt,

and then dough from wild potatoes. Nice. I'll be honestly, didn't take me long at all. And then the tiramisu, honestly, to make it, takes like 10, 20 minutes. If you're not making it with raw egg,

if you do like the cheap version, which I did. And yeah, it just wasn't good. But they still demolished it. Okay, you just do that, Yeah, I appreciate the effort. I guess the biscuit bits were just crunchy. They just weren't soft.

So if you just take that out of your brain, then you're... Yeah, now that actually be fine with that, I think. It's more like a... Yeah, it's just a different kind of... It's a cheesecake. Yeah. Rather than a ten of a sous. Long. That's fine.

But yeah, that's about it, so as then we did our event. And yesterday I took... Spent the day with Jensen, I just took him to host Playcalfe, which was just dead easy to book in the morning. It was dressed as a dinosaur. Was that a dinosaur? Yeah, put a little dinosaur out of it on him.

just so funny. And that's it, my darling. Do you be honest? Yeah. Friday night I actually went through to a place called Tony's Pizzeria.

It's in Giffnick. Right. Which is like south sideway, I think. It was lovely. We just had pizza in the car, a couple of sides. It was like curly fries. I love a curly fry.

I love a curly fry in all. I love a curly fry. Oh, Saturday morning I was working. I was working. doing a shoot on Saturday morning. Yeah, that's right. So did that, and then me and Jay Snatch went through to Livingston Shopman Centre.

Did you? Yeah. How was that? Not being there in years. Do you know what? It's the way East Co bride should be, is what I'll say. It's still got shops.

It's not got a Zara. Okay. But it's got everything else. Premark, H&M. It's got that Sausages and Green shop. You know what I'm talking about? Sausages and Green? Yeah, it's got a pro cook there

and what's the other really good shop it's got? It's also got Al-Ala-Cruise. by the way, in the designer outlet, which I had a good look in and I will go back for bits because obviously I wanted one for my Christmas but me and my mum

decided on a dupe because what if I don't use it which I use it sometimes but I'm not really at one the way I wanted to be with the kitchen but there's so discounted in there. Yeah. Like the kind of middle size one that's meant to be like I don't know 300 quid was like 150. Like it was half

the price and all the salt and pepper shakers, mugs. Wow. everything had a good we look in there. The designer bit I don't love, I just think outlets, one I think are mostly the same price. Like, see, like Nike and I did this and all that. I just think they're the same price as the shops.

I agree with that. You don't notice, like a discount much. But the other bit was quite good. Like, I wouldn't say it's the best H&M in anything, but you can get a good wee mooch about in there. Big boots, super drug, big marks and spencers. Right. Loads of shoe shops.

does the job. We were actually saying, weren't me, that East School Bride Shopping Centre is just it's a shame that it has got to that point though because I definitely think they're, like if we bought it back, people would go there. I think so. People are going to shops again.

Yeah. Overall and I also think East Coal Bride as a place is full of the type of people that want to go to a shopping centre. Agree. Like wholesome kids, they want a quick, stop at a cafe or a nandoes or something for a meal. Because that nando's in the cinema in there is always busy.

But the rest of it's like... I would say I go there quite often. It's a ghost town. Like everything else, the ice rink is always busy. But the rest of it, all the other restaurants around it, it's such a shame to see. It's like this is like a zombie, like the zombies have come or something.

Yeah. And I feel like it's quite an establishment. E.K. Oh, yeah. EK. Shopping Centre. Maybe they'll bring it back. Who knows? You just need, you need Sarah to go,

fuck it. Let's go back in there. And then. we're all thriving. All the South Atlanticshire girls are like, woo-hoo! I know, exactly. So it did that on Saturday, and then Jason's mum and Gary came down

and we just had dinner, they watched the football, I just got ready for Sunday, really? Champions League, did you watch that? It was the Champions League, yeah. Could have been less interested, but it was on. I liked it, though, because of the penalties at the end. Then you've got my attention. No, I think I don't like penalties.

I think it's so. unfair. That's what I was going to say. I think it's unfair because it's no reflection on the game whatsoever. Apparently, is it Gabrielle or something? I could be so wrong here. I have never taken one inch of interest

in any of the Arsenal team until the other day. Anyway, one of the guys that took the penalty that I think lost, the final penalty. He's the reason they lost, yeah. Yeah, apparently has been doing incredible all season and had a really good game. So the guys were saying, like,

it's such a shame that that happened to him because that's kind of like what you're left on, and that's how you will reflect on the whole of the season based on that last bit of the game. Yeah, I know, I do think that's a shame as well because it just kind of dampens the whole thing, doesn't it? We've got the World Cup soon. World Cup's happening.

But you know what's a shame about that? Again, not that we're really into football. I saw that one of the players and their Scotland's friend late the weekend. Billy Gilmore, who's a big Scotland player. Okay. Is he injured himself? Correct.

Oh, you're joking. And now he's out of the World Cup. Oh, you're joking. What did he do? heart his knee in some capacity and I saw it on TikTok or whatever but I actually saw his post on my

Instagram earlier just came up and it was like my dream of being the World Cup's now over and I think for a fucking friendly him annoys it I'd be for human at that if that was him that's such shame it's a hard graved being like a sports person I think and like injuries and stuff like it's tough

tough in the old men to be definitely which had four growing operations and I just think it's just like, because the other day we were on the sofa and I think I might have accidentally kicked him just like inside his leg and he's like, ah, I'm a groin. I went, how long are you going to bang on about that? And he went, Jessica, I've had four groin operations.

I was like, fair. Yeah, okay, I take it back. I was like, I've had four, count my scars. Pussy. I know, yeah. But that must be so hard though. Especially setbacks like that where it takes ages to come back from something like that.

No, I know. I think that's one of the reasons why he went into early retirement shall we say it is there isn't it no it is absolutely is

you just need to decide your body's of enough see ya that's like me we're running anyway

we've got the World Cup to celebrate Scotland I just think it's a shame that it's on so late

at three o'clock yeah where's the buzz at unsure right love islands

back by the way oh fucking out I know you'd be all over that thoughts Ugh, it's always shit at the start, isn't it?

Did you watch it last night? I watched it last night. But what they did this time was, you know, how they changed the way that the couples become couples in the first episodes? Yeah. So they were to decide amongst themselves. Oh my God. Which was fucking hellish to watch. At Andreessen, I went, this is horrendous.

He actually got up and walked out at someone. I think we're best suited or, though I like him or... Yeah, or like two girls were saying, well, I like... the same guy and then they were like, right, so the guy should pick and then the guy was like, well, actually, I don't like you as I like her. Oh my God! It was, I know, and then it's like you're like the last one on the shelf sort of energy. So do they manage to all make a decision? They managed to make a decision, but it's also just like so, you just know who's going to go

with each other. Like you can just see it, it's so clear. Like the Scottish girl's with the kind of like cocky, he's from Kent, but sort of like... Who's the Scottish girl? Do we know her? No, I don't know her. Okay. She works at on the stage. Where she's she from? Where she said?

East Lothian or West Lothian. An accent. Yeah. Kind of Edinburgh way accent. She's with a kind of like London cocky guy which I just knew it would happen. Right. And then there's a guy that's like partially deaf

so he's got two eerieids. So then the girl who ended up with was like, what, you're deaf? And I'm like, as if you kind of see the heedinids. Like it's just pure shite chat at the start. I'm locked in. You're always locked in though. But I'll tell you the reason why.

It's something to watch every night. No, I agree on. It's something to stick on for an hour. Watch my jammer and draw. You can go to bed as soon as it finishes at 10. It's a good end to the night, just easy, not scrolling through Netflix and all that. Yeah.

But hopefully it kicks off because the last All-Stars was hard to beat. Yeah, you really like that, didn't you? No, it was unbelievable TV. What's it? So I love Ireland's Seasons back, my friends. how what finished Testaments loved it so much was there only

is there 10 episodes 8 I think maybe 10 anyway I've finished it right I've not finished I've only got one to go though okay yeah I've not watched the last one

yeah so this is the last one right I'll not you watch that tonight because I kind of forgot about that it's brilliant guys please watch it if you watch Handmaid's Tale then you need to watch Testaments on Disney yeah you do

I found it difficult to get into but I think I just wasn't the night. Really? I'm so shocked by that. Like mindset, I think with that, it needs to be a you don't want to go on your phone sort of moment. You need to like lock in. You do need to lock in, yeah. Whereas I was putting it on when I was kind of like also like doing our things. I did a bit of work.

And I also started off campus this morning just as I was getting ready, just put it on my phone because I'd heard that it's like a nice, easy sort of like high school rom-com type of shit. And it's good so far. I don't know anybody in it so I'm guessing they're going to be like rising stars everyone's going to be drooling all over and I've not watched that yet but it sounds a bit of me

yeah everyone in it's really hot love it but I've seen all the tech talks of people of women doing it and they're like me walking down the street with my husband remember I'm like 35 two kids and I'm not at college because you get involved

yes so that's it on TV to be honest right So last week I said that I would share a list of things for a first birthday present or if your child is similar age to me, you're not sure. Yeah. I'm open for you to giving anything for your child that I can get for Jensen. Would you say this is unisex?

No, I did think about this. Maybe not so, but yeah, maybe. I mean, I've not got things like a doll or a pram in it. But you kind of know the equivalent of things, you know. Okay. So, and I'll pop all these. the newsletter. Right, so thoughtful...

Shep gives me the giggles. Shut up, Zerri. You've got CBD. You need to be chill. I've got magnesium. I'm going to be falling asleep. Not less honest, it does give me the giggles, I think. She's high. Right. Thoughtful and budget-friendly gifts.

So Jensen really likes books that are like lifting the flaps or that are more like touch and feel books, got noises. Anything that's long, he ain't asked at this point. Yeah. But he loves to sit and read a book that he can touch. Mm-hmm. learning like flash cards and first word cards are really good gifts there's this thing called my my first photo book on amazon it's like four quid

and it's basically like a photo album that you can put photos in which i use for all family so i just go on and say like who's this and he started to learn about family that he's not around very much and the other day he said zozo well he went zuzzi i need to hear it's not all i can't kind of get him to record it and he wouldn't do it after it's a one tame thing Another good, cute thing that me and Rich filled out is a first birthday interview book. Oh, yeah. Remember that. So it just goes, it's like 18 pages basically for like until he's 18.

And you can just fill out things like, what am I into? Who's my favourite person? All that shit. Yeah. Bath toys are really good. Stacking cups are great. Colourful popping toys. Like, you know, the little thing that all the kids play is like a colourful little thing

and you just pop all the little things through? Or the shops and holiday That's it He loves them Started to really like them I quite like them Me too Very therapeutic

There's this toy on Amazon called the Galt Popup Toy He's obsessed with it Jus Mew wooden sensory toy is amazing when we go out for dinner It's basically like a little wooden tube And it's got different things At the top like hot like

colourful sticks And he has to just like Precisely pop it into it The thing Keeps them entertained for hours Is that like a baby carplunk Almost Is that with that gamers?

The gold pop-up toy is like Kiplunk. The other ones, small things, just like pop-in and through different shapes. But really good on the plane as well that was. Any sort of musical instruments, like shakers, mini-drums and shit like that. Busy boards and sticker books. You got Jensen like a busy board once from TikTok shop.

Oh, with the zeps and buttons and poppers and things on it. They're great. And these are all really, like, affordable as well, guys. Another great thing that we actually got a few people buy is this, was like a car ramp racer, it's called. It's a wooden little ramp that goes like three different ways And it's a tiny little cars And it just goes flick

And the car like spins upside down and goes like that Right mm-hmm He can sit and do that for ages Any sort of like wooden fruit and like pretend to play Like little wooden fruit baskets Or like wooden tools Kitchen tools shit like that Is like doing what you're doing?

Yes And I thought a really good Personalised gift would be like a print Of all their favourite things Do you remember Magenta Ink made one for me for Jensen when he was about six months old. So I thought that would be a nice thoughtful gift for you to get as like a keepsake for the parents and for them.

Now some practical gifts that parents will actually use. Like I got this on Amazon before I went on holiday. A toddler snack spinner, type that in Amazon. You press the button in the middle and each little compartment spins round. So it's like you can put raspberries or raisins and shit like that. Really handy for the plane because they can just keep themselves busy. Things like reusable silicone pouches and stainless steel like containers because As they get into like one, you're going out more, you're putting food in for them,

just helps the parents keep organized. You're his goods wee tubs when we went to Ayla that time. They're lovely, aren't they? Like, colourful silicon. Stylacil with the wee silicon, yeah. I'll link them because they're lovely. Quite chic, I thought. And chic for us.

I know. You just want things to look good. Now, these were dead thoughtful gifts that I thought that I got. Splash about swimsuits. They're so good. They're really thick, great gift. and then the splash about swim life jackets things like armbands

swim shoes puddlesuits wellies I've also got Jensenson Wellies from decathlon for like 10 quid and a really good puddle suit for Marks and Spencer he can splash about in puddles now he can walk so good to take him to the park

then think like seasonal however old their baby is coming up to things like buy them bucket hats or sunglasses or winter coats all parents will find useful of that. You can get them a voucher for Clark shoes for their first pair of shoes. Have you done first pair of shoes?

No. I haven't done, I've been into Clarks and got measured but I didn't like any of them. I know I shouldn't really think like that but I got him some two different brands instead. I got one called Lahan and another one called Sotil.

I don't know if I'm pronouncing them right but the two brands that where the shoe completely bends as you hold it. Yeah, so what? But Clark's is more like an iconic thing, isn't it? I know. But that's what I'm just saying, because obviously he wears trainers. He does, but I don't like him in the Adidas, the Navy.

Yeah, I try and not put him in it all the time now because he doesn't walk well in them and it's not good for them. Right, okay. And I do love him in the red, the red ones that he wears. They're proper, really good ones that are developed by, what are they called? Orthopaedics. Yeah. And the S-A-U-T-I-L-E, they're really good.

They're not as pretty to look. but you could literally squish them in half. Is that the whole thing? They've to be quite soft still. Yeah. And like bendable. Correct. Where the specials are straight and flatten.

Yeah, they're not good. Any clumps about the house and I don't like it. Yeah. So looks great, little vans, but just, no, they're not good for them really. Right, okay. Interesting. Now, these are things, something that I use all the time, is love to dream sleep suits. You can get sleep suits from everywhere, but they love to dream swaddles and sleep suits,

a little bit more expensive but great gift for you to get for someone for their first birthday Nice Right experiences Every Man Baby Cinema tickets I thought that was a really cute idea No that's cute

Vouches for any local play cafes Or a family photo shoot And something else that I'm about to do with Jensen When we had our Christmas markets We had a store called Plan A Was it? Yes And they did can create your own art with acrylic paints

But the canvas that they've got is beautiful and I'm going to get Jensen, I'm going to get some suitable paint for him to walk across it and just frame it so he's like his first footsteps sort of thing. So I thought that would be really nice and you could do that for someone. Even just letting your kids sit and paint

whatever they want. Yes. Well they actually had a video on their Instagram of a kid doing that and she framed it and it looks so cool because the frame you get in the box is like proper solid oak like walnut frame. Yeah so it's quite chic but it's like acute meaning as well. It looks like it.

abstract art. I mean, a lot of, I mean, we've discussed art many times, but a lot of art looks like a kid's

on it and rapping. It does. It does. Right, sensory and learning play, Tony boxes. I don't know if you guys have seen them,

I'm quite new to this, but it's like a little tiny, yep, I know what you're talking about. Little voice box, and you can get little figurines and pop them on top and they tell stories or... They're expensive.

It was 99 pounds. We got a lot of cash for Jensen's birthday. Yeah. And we went into the entertainer and we spent it and had a really good deal and you've got like four of the figurines with the price and shit.

So it's good. You can get like Miss Rachel. Miss Rachel. I think Millie's got like Ailsa from Frozen. Has she? Like yeah. And they tell stories and stuff, don't they? He's a little bit too young for the minute.

He just likes flicking Miss Rachel on and off. But you can get on Etsy, I'm sure, like Tony figurine shelves and stuff as well. So if they've got like a big huge collection. Like sunny angels. Yeah. But for kids. Love it. I did that.

Something that I've just got here from, so I've got to be. thing with having babies right is when you go to other people's houses, they play with all their toys and it's like, it gives you ideas of what they like. What they can have went to enjoy it. Yes. Yeah. But what is annoying is when kids come to my house, Jensen decides to show off almost and play with all the toys that he's never played with before, including the toys of charity, the going to the charity shop bag, he goes in it and takes it to show his friend. And it's like, brilliant. So anyway, we went around to my friend's house and he was playing with this mega block table. So think of like a multi-coloured

table. Yeah. But you know, blocks which are also a really good gift. You can just pop them on top and keep building it. Right. Anyway, I said to my friend, where's it from? She sent me the link. It was like 30 quid off Amazon. Then my other friend, who was over at the same time, was in a charity shop in Straven and it was £1.25 for this

humongous table and blocks and she gave it me the other day. What? That's where all good. So go to charity shops and get some of this. I know it's probably not great for like if you're giving someone a gift. but I wouldn't mind that if it was something that I know that would get a really good use out of

Yeah and also I would pack that up for you You wouldn't be like oh did you get that from a chat It's not at all Sometimes you get the best stuff in there Yeah So anyway that tough trays is really good So he plays with them at nursery You can go on TikTok and Google things like

Tough tray accessories And you can put things like water And slices of lemons, oranges Keep them fucking entertain for hours Leave them do it That was quite expensive Just need to stimulate the rebidins Because he quite like sensory play

So I've got like scoops and funnels and little tweezers And you can just play sand and shit I mean it's messy But it keeps them happy I also bought a magnet wool sticker I bought this before he was one So I think that would be good as he gets older And you can talk about whatever the magnets are

And chock A learning, chock station Yeah Even though he eats the chalk right now We bought him an Etsy busy board Which took ages to come Right a good website for you to go on It's called Scandybourne

So you want to get all this stuff It's really gorgeous Scandybourne has all the wooden shite Right just a couple more I'm nearly done sorry if this is boring you Bigger gifts for around the house This was a great gift We get such good use out of it

And I think I've noticed that he's starting to love books Because it's visibly there in front of him every day Is a little beanbag And a children's bookcase And it sits on our living room in the corner And every night he brings me a book now It's taking him a few months to do that But he loves it

sits and reads books himself, sits on his beanbag. It's cute. It's cute. It's cute. It looks nice. Like a little checkered bookcase and a green, like, boucley beanbag. And my two friends got him that for his first birthday. It's funny when he sits on that, I think. Just like, a wee man. I get this question in my DMs all the time, but the learning tower or the kitchen tower that I've got, it's like a four in one, it turns into a table. It's a slide, a blackboard, and a standing tower. We got that him for his first birthday, and it's been absolutely brilliant. Now he's a bit older. We change it into a table. He sits and have his lunch in the

living room. He sits and draws on it. So yeah, that's a really good investment one to get. You got Jensen a wooden play kitchen. And I think that's a really good gift to see them through till they're like three, four, five when they play more like imaginative play. He loves it now, but he's obviously more fascinated with like smacking the door shut and highlight things behind the curtain. He isn't quite thinking, let's play kitchen. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, we're not cooking up a storm at the moment but that'll come. And last but not least, things that I think are bigger gifts to get,

including that one, to be fair. Balance bike, he's got one, not quite got the grasp of it yet. A trike. I got him a duna trike off Facebook that will see him until he's older. I'm just wheel him about now, but eventually we'll be able to use it as like a proper bike.

Yeah. Outdoor paddling pool. His favourite ever, ever toy, if I'm going to tell you to get anything, anyone, and I've got two of my friends this, is the Globber scooter. It's from that Scandiborne website. You push it like a walker and then it also turns into like a little scooter.

It's really low to the ground and he can just scoot around the house with it but it's got like a little compartment underneath it where he goes around the house and puts little things in it like a little hamster so we find all sorts of shit in there but he loves it. What was it you found in the other day again?

The remote and pasta. Pasta bets. Paster ships. He's obsessed with the trampoline. My friend's got him a trampoline for his first bag. and he now loves that. It just jumps a tiny little tramping.

The one with the be like handle thing on it, yeah. And last two things, my dad got him a mini suitcase that has a scooter attached to it. So he can't quite use that yet. So it's like a little travelling suitcase. Is that the ones people kick about with in the airport? No, you're thinking of the bright coloured ones. The little like, what they're called? The little trunks.

It's like a wee, yes, yeah. And they can, no, this is like an actual, it's like an actual suitcase with two wheels. but there's like a little flap that flicks down and that becomes like the scooter so the suitcase of the room. It's cute, cute idea. I thought that was really nice. And then I got in this thing off Amazon,

I need to link it. It's basically like a home play kitchen. It's like a little sink and it's got a real running tap. So you put batteries in it and you put water in it and it's just like a remote water. He is fascinated with like running water.

Yeah. So that kept him, it was so messy but that kept him happy for ages. So there's some options for you guys. I think that's helpful. I think that's a really good, can revert back this episode as well when it comes to like Christmas time because I didn't know the fucking first thing about gifts for babies and me I was just one of those people and it's

absolutely nothing wrong with this at all because it's all great but I would just go and get my friend's baby an outfit which is lovely yeah that's another good thing actually this is the point now 12 months to 18 months where I've kind of run out of all my clothes that I got when he was born yeah I know you buy your own shit but yeah everyone buys her stuff or like me boy you know so it's like more like clothes now yeah yeah We're not counting about in like a wee one piece it in. Yeah, exactly. Because when you first have a baby, people are buying your stuff until they're like nine months old.

You don't need to buy them at anything. Yeah. But then when you get them a bit older, you've run out of like sleep suits. You've run out of body suits. All the pyjamas is now wearing like two-piece pajamas, which is super cute. And dressing gowns, hooded towels are a great gift as well. Just like that. That you just don't think, you think to yourself, or they don't need that, but I promise you they will need that.

So they are good gifts. But yeah, if you want a bit more like, thought provoking maybe or then there's some lists some ideas for you I think an actual thing feels more than an outfit sometimes as well yeah an item a game or yeah yeah exactly something a bit bulky right should we go into some dilemmas let's do it you read them out as Oz I'm ready to rock and roll I'm hot in here by the way okay this is quite a good one for this wedding season show we say okay I'm pregnant and will miss my best season

a broad hen. I'm really nervous to tell her because I'm a bridesmaid. Thoughts. Guys, it's a beautiful thing. Your best friend will be so happy for you regardless. Obviously there's going to be part of her that's going to be like, oh shit, this means that she's not going to be able to come to my wedding. But if she is your best friend, she's obviously going to be like, I'm so happy for you. But also, why can't you still go on the hen do though? Will you be heavily pregnant or could you not still just go and just not drink? Like, I went to Nashville pregnant with my girlfriend and I had the best, best time. Yeah.

I guess it's maybe some people probably have anxieties about that, don't they? But I suppose it's quite good for you to tell them that like you did it and it's just as enjoyable. Yeah. It's probably the thought of a hendoo might be like really boozy, beach clubs, maybe a boat day and like, do you really want to do that pregnant? You might already feel a bit nauseous and whatever and you're putting yourself on a boat. But if you're up for going, you could always just be. just dip in and out of things. She would rather you were there than not at all.

Then just went home early or maybe only went out for the dinners and just lay at the villa the rest of the time or in the hotel or whatever. Yeah. That is an option. I don't think that's not, I wouldn't mind if someone did that on my hand of. Yeah. But equally she'll understand if you can't go or just don't feel comfortable going, which is fair enough as well. Listen, we can't all put our lives on hold. Imagine if you had a massive friendship group and those just weddings and 30th birthdays and you can't. You can't. You can't all put our lives on hold. You can't do that. You can't be like, well, I'll try and get myself pregnant like next year.

And then before you know it, someone else's booked, it's just like, you can't live life like that. I know. And your friends shouldn't expect you to live like that either. So... It is difficult. I think people find the bridesmaid situation difficult because you kind of feel like... It's a duty. Yeah. Are you now kind of tied down for the next? I don't know. But some people, it's like you're a bridesmaid, but it's not for two years. Yeah. So you've not to do anything that time in case you're pregnant on the wedding day or in case you've got like a newborn. It is a difficult one.

But I agree that I would never expect anyone to put anything on hold because you're part of my wedding day. You should be part of it anyway. Yeah. You don't need to be in the bridal party to be part of it, you know? So don't be anxious. I think you're probably feeling a triple anxious right now because of all the other feelings that you're feeling as well.

That just comes with being pregnant anyway. Exactly. And if you're quite early on, you're maybe not told a lot of people yet and you're already I think your friend will receive it well. And you can obviously just say like obviously I know that it's your hendu and regardless of the situation you just be like I want to celebrate with you somehow but it might not be abroad depending on how pregnant you're going to be. Yeah, exactly.

Someone else has also wrote 11 weeks pregnant and it's killing me keeping it to myself so I'm telling you girls. Oh, congratulations! We are quite a good person to just get it out there. Yeah, tell us. Because there's no like strings attached, Julie. Obviously we love you guys but we don't know all of you. Yeah, so it's quite nice.

Yeah, get it out. Get it off your plate. There's the whole point of this pod, baby. Absolutely is. The process of buying a house feel that there's no advice out there or people don't discuss it. We said it and we've said it a million times. This shit should be learnt at school.

Agree. Schools get a lot to answer for. It's extremely. stressful. It's so, so, so stressful. My only advice when it comes to buying a place is you just really need to be in the mindset of if it's for you, you'll get it and if you don't get it, something better will come up.

Yeah. And that is true. I really feel that. Anytime I've been in the situation, I've went by that and it's always worked out. Yeah. That's the only advice I can give because you just can't get set on anything. Yes. To avoid disappointment. Hi girls, love the pod and just spent a few days catching up on episodes while I'm decorating my house. Nice.

I was listening to the episode with a dilemma about the woman who had a boy best friend slash ex-lover and her new boyfriend. Yeah. Strap in. Twelve years ago, I dated a man and fell head over heels and love as we girls do when we are in our early 20s. He wasn't long out of a long-term relationship, so when I finally got the courage to tell him about my feelings, he said he didn't. feel the same. And although I tried to continue like that didn't bother me, ultimately we ended our dating situation but stayed friends. I stupidly rebounded to the nearest man who did want a serious relationship with me and married him. Oh my fucking God. Oh wow right. But lo, that's a story time

for another time. Fuck, okay. My then husband didn't like our friendship, although I insisted multiple times we were just friends. Amongst other things, that relationship ended and said boy, best friend was always a bone of contention in any argument we had. Anytime we were both single, boy best friend and I would reconnect, and inevitably, being the hopeless romantic I am, would convince myself that time would be different. It was not. It ended up ruining most of my short and long-term relationships over this friendship because I couldn't let him go.

Call it male intuition if there is such a thing. There is a happy ending, though. I'll be it quite rare, I would say. in the fact he admitted that he does have feelings for me, and we are now happily living together. Wow, turn of events. Okay. And can laugh about the fact it was his fault I married my asshole ex to prove a point,

but just be aware that you can waste countless years trying to convince yourself that you are just friends. You need to be honest with yourself and about how you feel and either end things with your partner as it's not fair on him or you cut all ties for good with the best friend. it will save a lot of heartbreak on all sides. All the love, Pod Piggy. That is a turn of events that I was not expecting.

I said this you, Zoe. You've just got to be honest with how you feel. You've got to just tell people it's like, I like you. What is the worst that can happen? You get clarification of what you've been asking yourself over and over. Or you lose out on years. I've been happy with someone that probably feels the same way. It's the same as you.

But it's him that wasn't honest, though. did tell him she did tell him how she felt but what she's saying he is I mean yeah she even went through my bloody wed and just to prove the point which you know what I'm actually kind of here for that yeah I love that and it worked we can laugh about it because it worked if it didn't work yeah yeah and I do love a bit of petting this me the petty things that I shout out are ridiculous but what she's saying there is towards the other dilemma we had remember of the girl with the boyfriend and the best friends

and we were saying we think you still like him I wonder what that update is can you messages please yeah if you know who you are get back in touch and we were basically in agreement with this new listener

today who's saying you just need to be honest and admit that you still like the best friend yeah because you're just going with other people to pretend you don't yeah not necessarily

but well she clearly did really like him to write into our podcast to say. I know. So I'm happy about that. I'm really happy with that. And it is important that you're...

You would be keeping yourself a little bit, wouldn't you? I know. And it is important that you're friends. Yeah. With your partner as well as being a partner. Exactly. So they've probably got a very strong foundation of love and friendship. Right, we've got a couple of Swinger DMs.

Right, okay. And then we've got an in-law DM. And then we'll go over to side dish, okay? Perfect. And do the big emotional affair. Really? My goodness. On the seeing your partner with someone else thing,

I definitely found the first couple of times in my head like, oh no, he prefers her. Oh, shit. Oh, no, what if they run off together? So this is on swinging, okay? Right. But a very good therapist once told me, you have 6,000 to 15,000 thoughts every day, but only 5% of them are formed by you. The rest are put in there by society, parents, bosses, religion, grandparents, etc.

But it's your job to sort out which ones are truly your own. Interesting. Which help me realise that, of course, he's not leaving me. We are great together and get to have hot, naughty fun. That's basically our dirty little secret that I'm now sharing with you. That was quite cathartic to get out, though, as I don't tell my friends. Right, okay. I once did, and she then in turn told her boyfriend who said,

you're now not allowed over there when they are both there. What if they both come on to you? Like we are some sort of sexual predators. He then would constantly accuse her of having a secret relationship with me, which was never the case and would never happen. Everyone is consenting adults, always aware of what the situation is, enjoying ourselves and not hurting anyone while doing it. I like that thought situation, that fact that she gave us there.

Yeah. Also, do you know what I think is funny about stuff like that? What makes you think that I fancy you? I know. Like, why are you assuming because we swing that we fancy you to? But I think that about if somebody said they were gay and there was another gay person, it's like, you must fancy each other because you're both gay.

It's like, well, I'm not. Do you fancy every heterosexual person that walks by? No. Well, exactly. So it's a sort of similar situation, isn't it? It's just like everyone presumes that if you're a type of person, you automatically like the other person, that's into the same thing as you.

Yeah. It's not the case. Just because we swing doesn't mean that I want to shag you. No, I know exactly. And that's what, like if I was her, I'd think that's fucking hilarious, I'd be like, you're so confident. Yeah. And actually what you need to realize is I don't want to shag you, I'm afraid.

It's like, I know this is a bad example because I would shaggy all day long. But let's see I became a lesbian. And you're my friend. would I automatically then fancy you? Exactly, no, you wouldn't. Probably not. Most people do fancy me, but in general situations, no, it doesn't mean you would fancy me. La la la la la la la.

Right, we've got one more swingery. I was speaking to someone recently and we were talking about something like this and they said like, yeah, because obviously Jess said, no, they were laughing because you said, you would have sex me I was like, ooh. And then they were like, no other shak should. I was like, no, she would. I absolutely would. Right.

Talking of swingers, a slightly different story. My parents got a letter through their door, along with everyone else in their street. Graham, is it you? Outing one of their neighbours, a couple for being swingers. And basically, they regularly swung with this other couple. But the man, the neighbour, started seeing the man who wrote the letters. wife out with the swinging

and because he was raging he wrote a letter to everyone in his street and workplace then the poor man came round to everyone's house to apologise hopefully that makes sense but I felt awful for him and his wife and they still live in the same street

oh my God so the swinging became a cheating affair basically yeah between the other one person from each couple it is a risk it absolutely is a risk that people take I agree I think

I think it's something that you could only go into if you're absolutely confident 100% sure in your couple that no one's going to get hurt along the way heart or swing elsewhere Yeah

Right this is a good one to end on because I reckon loads of people will be able to relate to this but this requires you guys to write in and let us know this Some homework, I love it Yes because I can't really

I can't really relate to this all that much just because we don't have any family around us, right? Okay. Right. Can you do a pod on how often people see their parents slash in-laws? I really like my parents and my in-laws and have a good relationship with both. But I do find myself moaning about the amount of times I see my in-laws.

I see my own parents once a week. It's not uncommon for me to see my in-laws every Friday, Saturday and Sunday, likely for more than an hour each time. And at Christmas, it was every day. for nine days straight. I feel like I moan a lot about it to my husband, but he just shrugs it off. Is this normal?

I don't think it is. Can you help a girl out? Right, okay. I mean, I think, no, I don't think that's the normal amount. I don't think that's normal if there's no children involved. I don't know if there's children involved, but if there's children, if there is, I think it's quite fair that they come around to see their grandkids

or they take them from and you drop them around. You're seeing them in that sort of capacity. But to see them to socialise, like you're going around for a cup of children, every bloody day Saturday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday they're coming around. Yeah, I agree with that. Go away. Like, it's too much. But I even think in her circumstance,

even if there is children involved, what she's saying is every time, like at least an hour. So that's not a quick drop off, pick up the kids sort of situation. That is like you're coming in for a couple every time. Fuck that. That seems a lot to me. I mean, I definitely go through stages of seeing parents and in-laws.

Like a lot in a period of time and they're not. for a while. Yeah, yeah. I mean, don't get me wrong. I don't really go a week without seeing like my mum and my brothers on my mum's side. I don't see my dad as often. Yeah. And like my grandparents comes and go against stages. It depends how busy you are with life. But in-laws, it's more, yeah, it comes and goes. Yeah. But I don't think there's really an opinion either way of like, you would say, oh, I've not seen them in ages, but I don't think it's like an issue. Yeah.

Everyone's busy. But I think if I was seeing any of my own parents or in-laws three days a week, it would feel a lot. But I don't think your partner is seeing it as an issue

because it's his parents. Exactly. So it's normal to him, but to you, how much fucking more small talk if you've got to chat? I know. Every time they come over,

what can you physically update somebody on when you saw them? Even if it's your own family, like there is times that say I'm out for dinner with like my mom and brothers on a Friday night,

but we're also get something on the Sunday we're like God I'll see you again Sunday and it's not that you've got an issue but you notice that you've seen each other a few times in the one week and that's your own family I think it just feels a lot

a week comes around so quickly yeah so before you know it's already been we're back arranging a Sunday dinner somewhere all I can obviously relate to is if I try and think about in-laws in-laws to me like my mum and me have a relationship where she does my heading after an hour

and I probably do her head in but I would love nothing more than for her to nip over to mine for an hour every day I would love that I really would love that but I think when you're that's just kind of like our relationship though I think but in-laws

if I try and think about them coming over to me every single day yeah probably it probably would annoy me yeah it would annoy me but I think it would annoy rich though so that's probably where we could have that conversation yeah comfortably where I say, can we just not, can we just have our week into ourselves?

And he would be so sound with telling his parents to just stay at home. Yeah, I think we would have the same. And I think the issue that you're finding is you can't speak to your partner about it because he doesn't see the issue. He's not annoyed by this. I know. No, I think that's quite insufferable. Yeah.

Actually. And to answer your question, I don't know if that necessarily means it's not normal because it is normal to some, but it's not normal if you don't want it. Yeah, exactly. Yeah It's like what are you doing Is it always just like They're like in your house

chilling sort of energy Like they let themselves in Are they there when you come home For like work And you just want to relax I'm sorry no Fuck off I don't know if things

Would change if I had a kid But I'm just not really one For feeling like any parents Need a key No Why do you need a key to my house Okay maybe someone's got a set of spare keys

Which actually they don't In our situation And they fucking should In case there's ever an issue We can't get in Yeah But apart from at being there's a spare key for an emergency

I'm not really into the like you can have a key and like feel free to come over I mean absolutely blitz my house honey and then leave the key where you left it yeah like you're the unpaid cleaner yeah no I just people are really and it's not a comfortability thing because I'm really comfortable with both my parents

like I don't need to be like ready you have a really close relationship with your brother and mum though you see them a lot and you really want to see them all the time so I guess in certain there's a lot of family that aren't quite like that but there's so many times that I'm like can't be harsh who's coming over

yeah fair it's not like an open house welcome any time yeah fair it's an invite yeah and I'm making sure like I've got stuff in for dinner or I've got snack like it's I still want to like

even though we're close it still feels like I'm hosting and I want that I like I like feeling like I'm hosting them I don't want it to feel like they're just always there Yeah. So yeah, honey, I don't think it's normal but we're keen to ask our listeners

like, because everyone's situation's different. I'd also like to know, even though I'm not in this situation, you hear a lot of people moaning about the effort of grandparents. Right, elaborate on that. So, for example, someone would say, I mean, I could say, for example,

say me and Jason's a kid. Yeah. Jason's mom's not. not came and seen fucking Billy for three weeks and like your pals might be like God three weeks that's long yeah is it

like how often should people be seeing their grandkids true but then again that's circumstantial because I was going to say because mine only see them every three to four months yeah which is understandable yeah but say you're

is it well exactly exactly Exactly, say you all live... But my dad, I'm looking at you. Is it? I'm not sure. Yeah, of course it is. Obviously, there doesn't bother us. I wouldn't love them and I know they would have. I think you've got a good effort actually from your parents considering the distance.

But say we all live, we're all in South Lanarkshire, right? Let's say that. For example, how often is it once a week? Is it a couple times a week? Do you use them as childcare if you didn't know? Like, when do you feel annoyed that someone's not made an effort to see your kids? Yeah. Because I think you just hear chatter chat or chat of that a lot

And it's just hard to If I had kids I'm very aware That my parents would still really live their life Because they're very social Yeah And their life wouldn't become my kids No but there are parents But it does for a lot of people

But it does, yeah you're right I know so it just depends So I'd like Some people retire to be grandparents I know Because it's cheaper for them to go there Then pay nursery fees Yeah

I'd like to know thoughts on that as well Yeah Because I think that's quite a controversial one I'd like to know thoughts I actually had somebody come up me the other day and say that they were, they'd had an argument with their partner

because they were annoyed at how much they give the children to the grandparents. Okay. So they are feeling like their partner sort of like bows out and brings in the parents. Yes. Okay. And they were annoyed by that.

A lot. So I'm intrigued into like how much do you, does your kids see the grandparents? Are you someone that likes to ship them after the grandparents or like obviously like how how would it feel to you if you didn't have your grandparents around like are you got so used to it now that I don't know because people have to go back to full-time work so it's either they go to the grandparents or they pay for nursery fees do you know what I mean this is kind of the situation I'm in as well which I where I constantly

feel like a bit stuck because I feel I can't go back to quote full-time work because I can't afford to put jens in a nursery five days a week yeah so I'm going to have to wait in to least three to get the free government hours, or in the hope that a grandparent would come up and stay and move, which isn't going to happen. Yeah. So it's almost like, and then I get the question, would you have another baby? It's like, I don't know that answer because right now I don't know physically how I'd financially afford it, how I'd be able to have any form of life myself with us both being

self-employed. Like, I'm just intrigued of how other people live their lives. And some people say to me, like, I don't know how you do it. I'm like, yeah, but you've been given that from the story. start though. It's just what you're used to. Exactly. So I mean, I don't know any physical difference. However, it must be so hard having a baby and then move into like the other side

of the world because your parents job, your parents, your partner's job, and loyal job. Yeah. I wonder how that is for some people. I know. Or not, listen, or you become a fucking single parent. Like, and the dad's a complete deadbeat. All their moms are deadbeat. Like, what?

I think it's interesting, no you're saying about, like, for example, if we were going out all day. Yeah. Right, we were going through Edinburgh for the day so Richard's get Jensen but every time you do that before you know he's with Richard's dad.

Yeah, I think I would be a bit upset by that. Because it's like, well, why can you never have them on your own? Like, why do you always need to ship them off as well? That's an interesting one as well, I think. Actually, the conversation that I've said to you though was the opposite way around. it was the man moaning about the woman. That's interesting even more.

Yes. Not to be sexist, but it's true. Controversial subjects, I love it. Let us know. Yeah, let us know your situation. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or maybe your older sister or brother are always shipping off their kids to your mom and dad.

You don't have kids, but you're like, it pisses me off that my mom's always got the kids. Like, I just want to be with my mum, but she's always got my niece or nephew. you. Do you know what I mean? I think that would deny me. It would, that wouldn't it?

There's my time with my mum. Yeah. Without kids. Interesting subject. I've chose not to have kids, but I have to constantly be around your kids. Interesting. Don't think so. Love it.

Love it. Get me there, juice. Right, well, let us know on that one and we'll discuss it in deep depth. Right, let's go over to Patreon and talk about this little juicy dilemma.
