Hello, hello, we're back people. Welcome to a brand new episode of Mums the Word. I'm Georgia Jones. And I'm Kelsey Parker. Today Kelsey reveals whether Aurelia is still on a boyfriend band. And Georgia reveals all about Cooper's eighth birthday and whether our kids are growing up a bit too fast. So grab a cup of.

Get comfy and let's jump into a brand new episode of Mums the Word. I've noticed this is really vain. Ooh. Yeah, what? When you watch this back? Yeah. Two things. Yeah.

Number one, I don't know what has been going on with my bronzer blushier situation. No, I think it's the cameras from Dom. I think it's Dom's lighting. It's the lighting in here. He just makes us look horrendous. Producer Dom has done me a dirty. Sorry, but I feel like I've looked quite pretty in the last couple of times. I will.

I will look at you? I haven't Dom. Thought my lighting out, will you? That. And also, when I talk, for some reason, I lift my chin up. And I don't know why I do it. And I need to keep my chin down. You're doing a workout all the time.

Also, whoever's watching on YouTube needs to watch and see this. So Kelsey's absolutely rinsed me for my new safety feature on my phone. The safety feature is next level. People will be able to see this anywhere on Instagram or whatever. Sorry, no offence to people that have actually got that, but that is the ugliest looking. What is it even called? I know your sister bought it for you.

I'm sorry to offend your sister, but of like practicality. I get it. Your phone is not getting stolen because a robber is running the other way. Who's robbing you with that on? I'd be like, no. I don't even want that phone. Got my initials on and everything, guys. There's a really thoughtful present. I mean, you do live in London. You have got to be, have your wits about you. Keeping my phone says at 7. It's like if you climbed him out in. Yeah, that's what I was going to say.

You climbing any mountains? If I find a stray dog, I can attach it to that because it's like a lead. Anyway, Kelsey's being really mean to me. I forgot. And I've had a really hard morning because I got a letter. through the post. Oh, here we go. She wanted to fill me in. What's happened? I've been done for speeding.

How, okay. Can I just, can I just... How much over the speed limit were you? Four miles an hour over the speed limit. As in what? In a 20, a 30. In a 20? Yeah.

Four miles an hour. Don't even get me started, children. Why are you getting me started on a topic like this? Right, because... It's just money grabbing to get money hours. Four miles and hour could literally be in something as simple. Like, you can sneeze and press your foot on the... Accelerating.

I won't go forward by four. Surely that is ridiculous. Criminal. Yeah. Offense for me. Yeah. Honestly. Well, I just, yeah.

I think parking tickets, speeding tickets, everything should just be abolished. Like, fair enough if you go in like way too far. I know it's obviously very dangerous. But I wasn't doing it. Clearly wasn't doing it on pit. I've got four miles an hour over the speed limit. Actually, people would be like, oh my God. Well, listen.

Hit me at 30. Well, I know. And I get it, and I'm not a speeder, like, at all. Well, it seems like you are, Georgia. I'm not. I'm just really pissed off. And also, it's cold. But I do feel like if we didn't have tickets and stuff, people will, you know, you have them odd nutters, but people do them things anyway.

Yeah. Like, on the school run, because obviously I drive to school, I literally am just shocked at how people drive. Oh, my God. Some, it's mum. It's mom's on the schoolroom. It is moms and school run. Yeah, lethal. Remember, then some you're like, are you actually watching the road?

Oh my God. Like, this bloke this morning, everyone was on a, like, a mini roundabout. So all angles were like covered, so people didn't know when to go. Yeah, yeah. This person just come from nowhere and overtook. Oh, my gosh. Because they were beeping. And then I was like, how dangerous is that?

Look, I get there's dangerous people out there. But if you're going four miles over in a 20. It was New Year's Eve. Dare time. And that's why you, that's why you were going. Got got got. Do you know where I was going? Where?

To the bloody tip. Oh. I was doing a New Year's Eve journey to the tip. I was doing a dump run. Like I was trying to be a good Samaritan and make sure that... Yeah, make sure that our bins weren't overflowing. Should have just dumped it outside the front of you at house. I could have put all my recycling into the wrong bins and been really naughty, but no, I was going to the tip.

Anyway, that's my rant of the day. Also, it's cold and raining. I'm not happy about it. it and I want to go on holiday. Please, thank you. And that's it for today. So any holiday companies want to get in contact with children, she really would love a holiday.

Also, I did put her, I posted her thing this morning about sending you questions for me and Kelsey. Kelsey thought it would be really funny to send in a question for us, which is basically why is Kelsey so pretty and funny. And then it goes, this man keeps sliding into my idea. Or if ever I put a question. Who is it? Do you know what he keeps asking me?

What? To do a bicep curl for me. People are just so weird. But he's like, give's a bicep curl. Yeah, that's all. He asks the same question every single time. Do a bicep curl. Can you do me a bicep curl?

I'm not doing it because it might start something. Every time. I've done it for him. Get it that over. Kels has done a bicep curl I always had this one person that did not stop messaging me but it was so rude

what they could in. Oh my God, can you please tell us? I can't because it is like literally vulgar. Can you give us like a where they want to lick and what they want to do? Oh my God. Really, really, very totally, very jose. Oh my God and I'm just getting someone

wanting me to do a bicep curl. I mean, I could understand it if I was quite a muscular person. I'm not. They're looking at their eyes. I was thinking, go on. Oh, yeah. Is there even a muscle there? No, I don't think they're, oh no, don't do it.

I'm not going to do it because he's probably watching this and he'll be like getting off on it. Yeah, but that's why people work on only fans because it's like, they want weird stuff. Maybe I could make a living on only fans just doing bicep curls. Yeah. You could, I was watching this morning. This morning, this morning. This morning, no, not this morning, but this lady is a boxer and she sells her sweat. But she's actually managed, from Onlyfans,

she's actually managed to buy her own house outright from Onlyfans. By selling sweat. She literally does like a boxing session, gets the sweat out, puts it wherever, and sells it to people. Her sweat from her armpits, she gathers that. Oh my God. So I said to Will, he's a really sweaty person.

I said, start selling your sweat. To be honest, if all else failed. Would you, okay, this is. good question. I mean, dumb stuff, why did I even write a script? Is this a parenting podcast? No. Not anymore. We're talking about sweat and parking fans. Would you, if you could be like anonymous. Yeah. Would you do only fans if you could earn that amount of money? Like would you do it? But you didn't have to do sexy pictures. You were selling like feet picks, sweat. Or farce in a box. Oh my God. There's a stroke. I don't fart, Kelsey, so I absolutely couldn't do

that one. I reckon like feet picks. I mean, there's a, there is a fart. I mean, there is a shot. I mean, there's a shot. I mean, there's a fart, I mean, I could, yeah. I mean, I reckon. Sorry, Kerry Cotona just owns it. She does the only fans and owns it. Honestly, I don't think there's anything wrong with it. If some idiot wants to pay you a load of money. To get off on your feet.

To get off on your feet. I mean, bodily fluid's a bit different. What's selling your own sweat? Yeah, but what are you doing if you sweat? You're just going to wipe it off. Yeah, but if there's like some serial killer and then they plant your DNA on the scene, that could happen, you know?

I listened to far too many murder podcasts. Maybe not sweat. Feet picks, though. Feet picks. So you would do it? Yeah. Somebody, I reckon, if somebody said, well, not now, like not, not now.

If I had no career and needed to make money, and no one knew me, somebody said to me, can you squish your foot in a cake? For £10,000? Absolutely no problem. Daily mail, coming to you.

I'll just do full on tits. Yeah, I just get got tits out of it. Um, right. Should we go look at our script and see what we're meant to be talking about? Cooper's eighth birthday. Yeah, Cooper's eight now. Oh, it breaks my heart. Oh, I saw on your Instagram that Danny was getting the ump, that he wasn't beating him.

Oh, I know. That's so funny. It wasn't beating him at golf. Yeah, they do this, like, game on the switch. Yeah. This golfing game. It's actually quite good because it's like not him sitting, like, playing video game. I mean, it is a video game, but it's like an active one.

It's like the modern day weave kind of thing because it's just like they swing and they put and it's like proper golf. And it's now made them want to do proper golf, which is quite good. Yeah. That's what Bodie and we'll do together. Oh, do they? Bode got a golf club for his...

And they go to the driving range. Yeah, no, Danny and Cooper go to the driving range. It's quite nice. The other day my best friend was over, she'd come to stay and she was like, why don't you go with them, Georgia? And I was like, can you shut up? It's my moment to have like a pot around the house by myself.

You're like that when they're going back. Yeah, I was like, that's my moment to chill out. Stop, stop sending me off with them. And also, would you even be able to get the golf? Yeah, thanks, Kels. No, I wouldn't. Maybe now I've got my new neck attire. Like, who knows, I'm outdoorsy now.

I'm a sporty gal. No, I wouldn't. And I wouldn't enjoy it. So no, it's not for me. It's not for me. It's a no from me. It's just a big no from me. Yeah, he turned day and we had a party.

And it was delightful because he said this year, I just want to do laser tag. And I was like, well, that's not one you can invite your whole class to. He was like, oh, no, I don't mind for me. So should we just invite your best friends then? And he was like, yep. So it was him and he's three best mates. Oh, that's cute.

Two from school, one, who isn't from school? I know always runs when I do this podcast. Another thing that's wrong with it. Oh, am I being a bit of a Debbie Down? That's maybe why you used to lift your neck up all the time because your nose always running. Maybe it is. Why does my nose always run in here? Do you know when my nose always runs?

Like when I have my makeup done professionally. Does it? It's really weird. I was on the bus before. I was looking down at my phone. I just started streaming out. I was like, oh God, I didn't have a tissue. I was like, you know, are you trying?

Oh, you're one of their people on the bus. Well, I know, and then I felt really sorry for the woman next to me. She was probably like, oh, God. Go ahead. Yeah, please. So we only had a few friends. Yeah, so he did laser tag. It was like outside.

In my head it was like inside and like laser beams in the dark, but no, it was like outside. It was just like the safer version of paintballing. Yeah, yeah, exactly, exactly that. And they absolutely loved it. And then they came back to our house afterwards. But how was that? It was fine because it was just only four boys.

And they just kind of like... Four boys, though. Well, I know. Yeah, and then a few other little kids that were like the siblings of. And then the girls came back and then actually some of the husbands came over. So we all just had a bit of a drink.

Oh, nice. The kids had some food and just played for a bit. And that was it. And yeah, it was just, it was chilled. It was nice. I just got a cake from Sainsbury's. Yeah, and sometimes it's good just to keep it simple. And you know what I did instead of party bags,

which everybody needs to get on this if they've got birthdays any time from now onwards because they're already in the shops. You know, like then, The Easter eggs aren't like full-sized ones, are like slightly smaller ones. They're £1.50. Yeah. So I just got...

My friend does it. Her little boy is an Easter baby. Oh, so she always gives... Yes, so I just got everyone an Easter egg. Perfect. And it was super cheap. As opposed to like spending a fortune on a load of tap. Which they just put in the bin.

Oh, I mean, yeah. Oh, it's just a balloon, a slap band that goes round your wrist of death traps. Oh, to be fair, Barry, you went into a birthday party. on Sunday and the little boy loves Hot Wheels, they gave him all a Hot Wheels car. Cute. And Bodie was so happy.

We've done a Hot Wheels car before. He's like, Mom, can you believe I've got a Hot Wheels car? I'm like, no, I can't believe it. Yeah. It's a good idea. I went to TK. Max and got a load of Hot Wheels cars. Yeah. Because they were super cheap.

He just had a great time and he enjoyed himself. He got his first, like, proper acoustic guitar. So he was happy with that. So he was happy with that. Because he's got a little electric one, but like, you've got to plug that in to be able to really hear it. So we got him an acoustic one. and he loves it.

Oh, bless him. How is his lessons going? Good, yeah, he is enjoying them. I think he's more of a solo lesson person. So, like, as opposed to, like, football. Yeah, but I definitely think we're learning, oh, you mean he doesn't, yeah. He much prefers doing, like, one-on-one things. I think, because then he doesn't feel pressure that he's not the best.

Yeah. I think he thinks if he's not the best, then he's, well, not the best. I'm like, that's fine. You can't always be the best. Yeah. Nobody's like, I mean, what's to say who's the best at everything? Well, this is the thing. It's how people see it as well. Yeah. Whatever you're doing in life. Yeah, exactly. It's how that music teacher will see who's the best in the class.

To see it completely different. Yeah. There's a TV program on at the moment. And it's like, you've got a guess who comes up on the screen. And one of them, it was like, pop bands. And Cooper was watching it. Cooper turned around. He went, Daddy, you'll be on this because you're one of the most famous. as pop bands in the world. And then guess what?

Busted we're on and been flying. I know, I was like, sorry about that, mate. Oh, that's so funny. I know. Bless him. De Ocuba was very confused, though. He was like, I don't understand why you weren't on that though. Yeah, why?

Why weren't you on it? Dad. Oh, darling. Because busted are better. Jokes. Jokes. Don't tell Danny. Don't tell Danny.

But yes, so it was, I actually felt quite emotional. for this birthday. I think just... Why? Well, because you just realise like they're growing up, aren't they? And like,

time moves so quickly without you even realising it. Like, I've blinked and the year's gone. But even I think, like, when you... So now we're like in February this year,

like when you start looking at even the school, so you go like, oh, we've got how many weeks left until half term, then they go back, they've got that many weeks. We've got that,

that in place. Then it'll be Easter. Oh my God. Yeah. And then you're like, they're only back for another term. Yeah, and then flipping summer. Flipping summer holidays, however,

I'm really excited about summer holidays because then it'll be the summer. Yes. And this awful, awful, dark grey. I feel like everybody's really feeling it this year, though. Yeah, because I think it's so depressing. I mean, it's just... But also, I tell you why people are feeling it more

because people haven't got the money either. Yeah. So I think that is a knock on. If you haven't got the money to go out and shock because people are feeling it, I think it makes it all more depressing, doesn't it? Oh. And when I looked at the weather, I was like, to the kids,

oh, it is actually raining all week. It's actually raining for the foreseeable future. Yeah, that's it. It's really putting it down there. I just love when we get a bit of sun. It does make you want to move. Like, I would love to move, but then. I know, it does, but I wouldn't.

Mom, if you're listening, which she doesn't, apparently, because she came on for the Mother's Day special, and she just admitted to me that she doesn't know how to listen to my podcast, our podcast, cows. I was like, all right, cool, thanks, Mom. Yeah, cheers. Cheers for that support. Well, that's it.

get off, you're trucked her off there, then. Yeah, off you go. I think my mom only listens to the ones that she's on. She probably just got that on repeat, getting listens up. Over and over again. So I might listen to myself. I love your mom for that, though. Do you feel like it's funny watching the kids?

Do you feel like time is going really quickly with yours? I just think it does go so quick, though. Yeah. And then, like what I'm saying, that just life, just... Just speeds past. It's just so speed, but I think it's because we're always. but when you're a kid you feel like it goes so slow, don't you think? Yeah.

When you were a kid, you think that was slow. Yeah, but when you're a kid as well, you wish your time away, don't you? You're like, I can't wait to lie. I'm an adult. I can't wait to leave school. I can't wait until I get a job. And I remember my mom and dad used to say the same thing. They used to be like, you honestly, we'd rather be at school. I'd be like, idiot.

Why would you want to be at school? This is the worst thing ever. And then you get old and have responsibility. It's like bills. And you're like, oh, God. Oh, yeah, we've all just done. I just love it with my cousins. my brother, like my brothers, that it's like what they actually come out with.

Like, you know that teen 20, the way you see the world in their eyes, like, it is so wonderful. And just like what they think they're going to get and how easy it all is. I just absolutely love it. The innocence of life. Well, even when they started TikTok, by the way, they don't do TikTok anymore. Oh, why? Because it's hard work.

because it wasn't easy, Joel Nothing is easy I thought I'd miss the boat of TikTok has now gone on like not the thing to do anymore Oh no TikTok is still Do you not do it? No

Don't right let's listen No but also you do videos To just literally your content from Instagram Just post on TikTok Yeah but surely the people following me on Instagram Are the same people that'll be following me on TikTok No TikTok reach is a different Does it?

Yeah I mean, I... Different people, there we go. Potentially, I'm the worst. Anybody that wants to do Instagram, you know, just post your video. Yeah. Sometimes I might mix a little bit of my videos up. Send help your message.

cards into school for other children. Well, last year Aurelia took everyone a crystal. Oh God, that's... I've ever so, Kelsey Parker. She gave everyone a rose courts crystal. That's very cute. Yeah, because she wanted to do Valentine's. Oh, good she.

So I thought that was quite cute. That is very cute. That's actually a really nice idea, Kels. So I don't know what she'll do this year. No, I don't know what they're doing in Cooper School, whether they're like, Has he ever received a card? Has he?

I don't know whether he has. I'm sure he has. I don't know. He's definitely had love letters before from his girlfriend. Oh, that's so cute. I think I do even think little girls and little boys, even how they see the world, because I do believe that us men and women, we are on two different planets and chapters, just we are not on the same page.

We are wired differently. We are. And I just think even that, Like how girls see it of like Prince Charming, the flowers. Like in Aralia's head it's like princess and princesses and it's so wonderful and beautiful. Whereas boys don't think like that. Oh no, they don't.

Like even little boys at her age are like, Ray, they're not thinking like that base. No, they're not. They don't think like that at all. And they're, I don't know, there's just, it's just a different way of, but even now, even in adult life, it's different. Like they're just don't. think the same as women like I mean I'm yet to meet a woman that hasn't gone why didn't he just think to empty the dishwasher or why didn't you just think that I might need help

with that and it's just like they know but even when you tell them oh so even when you tell them they still don't do it yeah and then it like something has to happen you go well I did tell you yeah oh yeah how many times don't want me to tell you to And the problem is we get this label of like naggy, yeah. And I hate that label. I would hate to be a nag. But the problem is, unless we nag, like nothing will be done. No, and my mum is a proper nag.

Like she, the thing she actually worries about and nag's about, I'm like, uh-huh. Yeah, is it really that important. Yeah, but they do bother her. I mean, it's their floors. I've just cleaned the floors and then I'll turn up with, like, my two dogs. I'm like, okay, I get it. Yeah, that would probably know me. But I'm like, it's not the end of the world.

Like, mopping your floors is not the end of the world. How is Storm, by the way? Oh, she's just... She's looking big. She is big. I just love her so much. Her legs got to match her body anytime soon. No, but that's what they say with Doberman.

So they grow up. So their first year, they grow up, and then she'll grow out and like into it. That is what's so funny about her because obviously her legs and her paws don't really match her body. So she'll do things like, I've opened the crate in the morning and she'll just like tumble out. so excited, but she can't actually control. I mean, she's very cute. We had a trainer in, didn't we? Had a trainer in.

Oh, yeah. That was really good. Was it? Well, honestly, George, it was like, what have you done to my dog? So he walked in, Michael Stokes. He's amazing. Yeah, shout to Michael.

Shout out. And he just came in, she sat next to him. Even to the fact of, like, say if you put treats on, like, the island, she'll try and get up to get the treats. Yeah, yeah. He put the treats on the island. She didn't get up, like, straight away she knew he was the boss.

And she wasn't going to go head to head of him. I wonder what? She did everything. He put her on the lead. She literally was like, down, sit, round foot. I was like straight away. Like straight away. And then he taught us a few things to do at home. Right.

And has she been still been good since he left? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Definitely what he taught us. I would like to have him again. Yeah. But she's just strong. She's strong dog. Oh, she's, I mean.

And definitely I would say Dobemans are not for someone who's never had a dog before. Like if a lot of people I speak to that I've got Dobermans, it's like they've had lots of Dobermans. Right, okay. They're not the easiest. Is she quiet? My Johnny, where if I stepped down when he was helping me get her in the car on Saturday and he went, why didn't you just go for like a poodle or something? Why didn't you?

Because I know why. Kelsey Parker does not like an easy life. No, I'm like, no, I want. Give her the challenges. No, and even when Michael came, he went, so why the Doberman? Why did you go to the Doblin? I went, well, I wanted Hungarian Vizzler and Kelsey wanted the Doberman. He went, so obviously the compromise was we got Tobin.

Yeah, we go for what Kelsey wants. Part Will. Paul beating down Will. Going back to men. Going back to men. No, well, relationships. How do you think you're going to feel when like Aurelia or Buddy bring back like their first proper, proper boyfriend or girlfriend? I don't know. It's a weird question, isn't it?

Because also, I just think you can't be deluded as a parent as well. No. I don't know. It's so hard, I think, do you know what, as well? This whole Beckham situation is really, really sad. And you think, I don't ever want that to happen to me. I just think, because we are boy moms as well. Yeah. We need to be their moms that's like, cool.

It's like, you've taken our son. That's fine. I know I said... If he is a dick, I'm sorry, I've tried to raise him the best I possibly killed. My friends are always like, you're just going to be a really, really awful mother-in-law. You're just being drunk with the...

Yeah, I'll only think... You're like, does she drink? Does she like wine? She's all right. Bring her in. I'll take her in. Yeah. No, I just want her to be nice.

If she's not a nice human, then yeah, she'll... Yeah, but then you can't pick for them. No, I know I can't. We have to just accept. You have to accept. Well, and hopefully they see the life. You know, my family have had to go through it with me.

Right, yeah. What? Yes. Sorry, I was going to ask what. I know. Penny dropped. Penny dropped. My family had to sit back and wait.

Yeah. I don't want to talk about that relationship. No. That was not healthy. Do you know what? The same with me, actually. I only found out that dad just didn't like the way he treated me. And I think you can see as a parent of what you sort of,

your expectations, you are going to have expectations. Yeah, of course. And he cheated on be loads. Of course my dad's not going to like him. My dad's going to be like, what an asshole? But I think when you're younger as well, what you put up with when you're younger. Oh, and I was so in love with him as well.

All different situations. I mean, I was in a vulnerable situation and put up with stuff. Yeah, well, exactly. The rock bottom I could ever be. Yeah. Well, and that's part. Men love. And that's why.

And my family had to sit back and just go. Okay, yeah. And men, and you were grieving. Men love. Men like him like to pray on grieving women. Yeah. Which is unfortunate for you that he found you. And he was like, there's a piece of meat that I'll take.

Even, I know you shouldn't compare, but even obviously with Will, some of the stuff like he wouldn't even dream. Like even, I obviously say when I do interviews, Will absolutely loves Tom. Like he loves everything about Tom. He wants to know about everything. There's not that like jealousy. Whereas some men. could be jealous of that situation.

Because Tom was my best friend. It's like I've lost my best friend, my husband, my everything. And now I'm in a new relationship, but Will doesn't look at Tom like that. He's like, you've bought me this family. Yeah. Like he absolutely loves Aurelia and Bodie. Yeah, yeah.

And that's just such a lovely way to be. And that's all you'd want and all Tom would want is that somebody respected what you had before Will. But there's no awkward then conversation. conversation. No, it's not like, it's not like you, if you were to reminisce about

something that you and Tom did in the past. Yeah, he's not like, oh, he's not like, here she goes again. Yeah, we're right then, yeah, Tom, Tom, Tom. Yeah. He appreciates it. Yeah. And listens.

Yeah, I, right, the Beckham thing. Do you know what? It just made me really sad. The whole situation, I have no idea what's going on. I have no idea. Well, I mean, I've heard all the stuff, but you do not know.

and like speaking from experience, nobody has any bloody idea what is going on beyond the scenes. Like, they do not know anything. No, we know a tiny little glimpse of what they're... Even what Brooklyn's put out, that's Brooklyn's perspective. That's how Brooklyn feels.

And that's absolutely fine that he feels like that. But if you spoke to Victoria and David, they would have a different take in it. If you speak to Cruz, he'll have a completely different take and all of it because we are all different people. Yeah, exactly. And yes, like, there might be true.

in what Brooklyn's saying, but there also might not be. And nobody is gonna know, ultimately. So just leave the beckons be, everyone. That's why I say. Poor, poor people. I mean, Victoria did get to number one, though, didn't you? I mean, well done. Vicki B.

Well done. Well done. I mean, to be honest, I'm definitely going to have a dance with Cooper at his wedding. At our wedding. At our wedding. At our wedding. At Mourin' Kuipe's wedding.

At his wedding, I'll do a mother and son dance. It obviously won't be like... Well, it's if the girlfriend approves. The girlfriend's like... Well, she will have to. Move over Victoria, like, in his children. Yeah, I'll be like... She will be doing.

I do just think that you have to, you know, with your kids, you have to let them find out as well and learn the hard way, I think, as well. Yeah, you do. And just be there to pick up the pieces for anyone. That's all you can do. You can't tell people what to do. No, and I think the more you try and control

your children's relationships with people, the more they will push away from you. Yeah. So just try and accept, even if you do dislike, you just accept and go, yeah, we really like them. Well, I had no idea that my mum and dad felt that way about the relationship I was in. Yeah.

And I was oblivious. I was just so, so madly in love. You know, first love, you just think they're the bees' knees. Yeah, you're like tunnel vision. Yeah, little as I know, mum and dad were well aware that he should not treat me the best and probably out-cheats it. Yeah, it's hard though from a parent.

Yeah. To watch, yeah. Anyway, I never forget, I was broken-hearted, and my dad was real, I'd never seen Dad worried about me before, and he came over to me, and he went, Georgia, I can't see you like this anymore. You're going to have to sort yourself out. And in the kindest way. And I was kind of like, oh, my God, you're right, I am.

Yeah. Sometimes you need that, like. I did, I needed a bit of tough love. To go, come on. Yeah, come on, book yourself up now. I always say as well, my youngest brother, Max, Yeah. He never listens, it's fine. Okay.

I always say to mum, whoever he marries or has as a girlfriend, I'm literally going to give her a medal. I'm going to literally be like, like I said to mum, I said, you have just got embraced that girl because I feel so sorry for her. And is he not got a girlfriend yet? No, he's not got a girlfriend, too. Oh my God. Georgia, you don't have girlfriends in that when you're going to be a millionaire, right?

Not right now. You get put in the groundworking to be the millionaire. Priorities. Don't be stupid, right? You can't have girls to distract you? No distractions. No distractions. Millions.

Are we ready for we listening? we don't judge. Yes, let's do it. Let's go. Promised pancakes for breakfast the night before, then realised we didn't have eggs, so we had toast and they cried all morning on the way to school. Oh, I hate the breakfast saga.

That sounds like my house. So, yeah. And mine just aren't satisfied with a bit of wheat of bics or toast. This morning it was fried eggs and toast. Oh, my God, you did fried eggs? Yeah, Bodie had a bacon sandwich yesterday. That's effort on a school morning. I know, I know.

Keep us either cocoa pops or toast I do try and keep it at that And he goes to me Why do I have to have co? I mean, what kid doesn't love cocoa pops? Why do I have to have cocoa pops? I'm like, uh, because it's breakfast Because that's what you're having

I'm like, can't have jam on toast every morning? Yeah, very like, actually both of mine like jam on toast So I'll give you something else that's really sugary as well I mean, me in my head thinking I'll give you a healthier old toast here, some cocoa pops. So cocoa pops or... Do you want some sugar with that? Yeah, do you want a bit more?

Sugar with the sugar for breakfast? No wonder he's bouncing off the world. There's some sugar and milk there. I do get the whole... There's no one who's doing wheelies up the road, aren't we? I know. I think he drives to school pretty fast on that bike. Go on, what's the next one?

Sorry, we didn't even say whether we judge that. We don't judge that. No, and also, what can you actually do? Well, deliver who it? Yeah, the eggs, I mean... Yeah, no, if it's a special occasion, Yeah, if you... You know, if it was cool.

Make the mix the night before. Yeah, say if it was birthday pan... You'd promise them birthday pancakes. I'd be tempted to do a bit of a shop on delivering. Yeah, not on a casual Wednesday though. Not on a casual Wednesday. Not on a school day. I put my two-year-old down for a nap

and accidentally fell asleep for two hours myself. No regrets. I mean, go for it. Absolutely. Providing your kid was asleep as well. The thing is, I mean, that is the whole problem. Us mum's then feel guilt. Whatever we do.

So you've had to go and have, I'm like, I could have hoovered, could have cleaned the toilet, so whatever we love to do. I think we're so guilty though, not ever just letting ourselves sit and do nothing. And just watch something on TV. Actually said it, Danny, yesterday.

I was like, I just feel really tired and like I cannot be asked today. And he was like, oh my God, me too. I was like, do you know what I just want to do? I want to go home. I want to get under a blanket. and I want to watch shit's TV. Did you do it?

No, because the builders are in, aren't they? And I mean... Yeah, and I think more that when you can't do it, you want to do it more? Yeah, I think that's it as well. I was just having one of those days, but I think, oh my God, if you're a mum of a two-year-old, you take that nap and enjoy it. And then get back up and stop running around again.

Yeah, yeah. For my little boy's birthday, I ended up ordering the wrong-sized bike and we didn't realize until it was fully assembled. Oh, no. No, that's the worst. Question is, was it too big? or too small. If it was too big,

I feel like they grew up pretty quick. So you could be like... Never would if it was too small. You're like... It was too small. Oh, that's a shame. I'm really intrigued as to whether they had to... Whether they could take it back

after they'd fully assembled it as well. Yeah. You wouldn't think they'd be able to, would you? I don't know. What are the rules? What are the rules? I'm like, it's never been... Riddin.

We need to get some new school shoes... Just some new shoes for Cooper. He's literally grown out of all of it. And... Danny went, what size foot is he? I was like, I honestly don't know. So I just drew around his foot and sent Danny to the shops with the piece of paper.

Stop it. Yeah. That's a normal thing to do, isn't it? He actually didn't protest either because I thought he was going to go, I'm not taking that to the shoe shop. But I was like, he did. He did.

He measured the shoe on the drawing of Cooper's foot. Love it. There go. I don't know what thing to do. What size is it? don't know she still doesn't know definitely bigger than a one

bigger than a one but I'm not sure I waved confidently at another mum at the school gate thinking she was my friend Hannah she was a stranger however we both committed to the wave oh I literally do this all the time

I do it all the time I was literally over the park the other day and I saw one of my friends and I was like waving and like walking towards day and I was like you're not my friend I was like, I thought you were my friend. Did you say that, yeah?

Was she waving back at you? She was just looking at me last month. I was like, you're not my friend. I thought you was my friend. Oh, it made you die inside a little bit, though, doesn't it? When you do it, I did it with my mom. I didn't tell her because I think she'd have been a bit offended as to who I thought was, because she was a lot older than my mum.

And I went to Cooper, there's Nana. Goop was like, that's not Nana. Oh my God, I need my eyes tested again. Oh, God, it is embarrassing. Anyway, I like what you. got a fully commit and then the person was like, yeah. Yeah, either fully commit or actually say to them, oh my God, I'm so sorry I thought you were my friend, you're not.

I ended up doing my six-year-olds homework myself because it was quicker and wanted it out of the way. My daughter still took full credit. I mean, I mean. I'll be doing homework in year six. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Actually, I don't think I'd be able to do year six homework.

How well helped me with my coursework? Who did she have? Bodey, Bobby. She'd had Bobby when... Yeah, she'd had Bobby. So she'd just sit there rocking the baby and helping me do my coursework. No way.

She'd know I wasn't going to do it. Kelsey! No, listen, Georgia, some of us are just born for managerial roles and that is me. So you manage your mum in doing your coursework. I managed my mum doing my coursework. I also paid someone else to do my coursework. Imagine if, um,

whoever the baudies of like schools, hears this and goes, writes you, Kelsey, we're going to take away your Jesus. I didn't say what subject it was. And also, I don't really care.

Yeah, she didn't need them anymore. I don't need my own. Levels for a podcast. Actually, I did get my levels. Didn't need to get a degree for a podcast. I didn't even do my eight levels. I mean,

I barely did my levels. When I look back, I just laugh because I think, yeah, some people are just born to like get other people to do it. Oh, actually, one of the teachers did my coursework as well. I came back and

he handed over the stick and he'd done my coursework for me. See, I think that's probably illegal. Corruption. Oh my God. Dom, are we allowed to put that on here? Kels! Right, Dom, are we going to get cancelled? Because I've brought the law speeding and Kelsis has brought the law getting a teacher to do a hook.

A coursework for us. We're absolutely rebels, Kels. Look at us. That's the end of we listening with George. And it's a wrap. another episode. Don't forget to leave us a review. Follow us on our socials at Mums the Word underscore pod and subscribe to our YouTube channel
