Hello, hello, we're back people. Welcome to a brand new episode of Mum's the Word. I'm Georgia Jones. And I'm Kelsey Parker. And today, Kelsey brings someone else into the studio because she's pregnant. Yay! Woo! She chats all about her pregnancy.

And me and Georgia give our thoughts on the under 16 social media ban. So grab a cup her. Get comfy. And let's jump into a brand new episode of Mum's the Word. I'm excited. I think you decided against doing another reveal to me on the show because I think we nearly burst everybody's air drums, air drums. Oh, 100%.

And I just, you know what? I wanted to actually just keep it to myself. I was very in two minds whether I was going to announce it or not. Oh, really? Yeah, I just think with Phoenix that when I did announce it, I did get some like negative thoughts and negative comments. And I'm like, you know, we all know I believe in the universe. I'm not saying that I'm blaming people for what happened to Phoenix,

but I did that have an added effect on the situation with Phoenix, with the negativity that was put out towards him. But then, ultimately, my life is in front of a camera, you know, social media. So I am getting too big to keep it a secret. Yeah. She just asked me then, did I not notice? But I actually didn't. Normally, my pregnancy radar is pretty hot.

Yeah. Not for me, honey. Kelsey was had a shield down. And I'm so, like, I'm not Kylie Jenner. Like, I haven't got all the money in the world. I can just go off like, you know, the radar. Off the radar on a swanky holiday for seven weeks. Yeah.

And then go back really pregnant. I've got a baby. So, no, I thought, you know. And do you know what? The response has been absolutely overwhelming. Has it? Yeah, because you know what? I think people now think hasn't she gone through enough.

Absolutely. They just want me to be happy. Yeah, they want you to have that, well, rainbow baby. What does rainbow baby mean? Rainbow baby means once you've lost a baby. When you've lost a baby, it's like you. Yeah. Your little miracle.

Your little miracle. So this is your little miracle. We've just been discussing. You've got a name. You know what you're having. But we're not telling anyone anything. Not yet anyway. Not yet anyway.

But yeah, no, Arolias actually picked the name. That's amazing. I mean, I just said to you before, didn't I? God, imagine if she picked the name and it was, if she had picked the name and it was awful, would you have gone, I'm sorry, darling, we're not, when that's not an area. Yeah, well, I was really surprised with the name

because it is very on, on trend. On brand. It's so on brand. So on brand. No, it's just, I was so shocked by the name that she's, that she likes. So I think both me and Will, we didn't really, like,

with Phoenix. Phoenix, Phoenix was always going to be Phoenix. Yeah. Boy, girl, there was no other name. You knew that was. We literally knew that Phoenix. And I have really strong feelings and meanings behind names. Like, I haven't just called my children their names just because I really like that name.

Yeah. There's a meaning behind their names. So for Ray had to come up and be like, this is the name. I was like, okay, right. Yeah. We'll do it. We'll do it. We'll take it. And actually, Will was really happy.

I was like, oh yeah, but like, do we not want to think about it? about anymore and he was like, no, that's the name. So it's like, right, okay. And you've talked about how you think this baby's like a gift from Tom and Phoenix. Yeah. Help me more. Help me more. Well, I just think that they want me to be happy.

And, you know, even when I can't do right for wrong, can I judge? Because when I did say, you know, it's a gift from Tom, people are like, Elle, poor Will, why'd you have to bring Tom into it all the time? Oh, for God's it. It's like, do you know what? Because Tom's a massive part of our life. Well, yeah. And he's a massive part of Will's life as well.

So Will doesn't think, oh my God, she always has to bring up her dead husband. He's like, yeah, no, he thinks the same. And I think with Phoenix and Tom, I was told by a medium that Tom is there and he's holding Phoenix. So that for me is a beautiful... Do you find that quite like... Well, it's comforting. And also, when you look at it, that Will's looking after Tom's children and now Tom's got...

Yeah. Yeah. So, you know, I just think you have to do in this life whatever works for you. Yeah. And what gets you through each day. And I think if I didn't find the stuff that got me through each day, I would be a completely different person. So when people go, oh, why are you so positive?

Why are you like this? It's like because I have these little... I feel like I have the secret to life. Well, that is a statement, cow. Yeah, because I feel like I've got this connection. Yeah. And I think it goes deeper. deeper, obviously it'd be really deep on this podcast,

but I think there is a connection, and that's how I do get through life. Yeah. Someone was talking to the other day about they'd gone to see, like, a medium because someone in their family had just died. And she was like, the stuff that was coming through, this woman didn't even know anyone's names. She was just like going in completely blind.

And she got everything spot on. And she was like coming out with all these things. And my friend was just like, it was incredible. Like there's no way she couldn't, she could have known these things. And I keep having, I think it's probably because I am pregnant and I've got some sort of connection. Yeah. I'm having the weirdest things happen to me, George. Like I'm getting visions and like feelings.

I can't actually, I'll talk to you about them when we get off this podcast. You need to go deeper on this. No, but it's just like mental things that if I actually said it out loud, you'd be like, what on ever you're talking about? But then they're actually happening. Oh, okay. But I can't talk about it. Why, because everyone's got to think you're a bit. Well, no, also, I think when I tell you, you're going, okay, I can understand why you actually didn't say that one.

But I feel like the baby, I feel like, because obviously I believe, I've said on this podcast before that I think your children pick you. And I think that we are, there's so much in the universe that we don't even know about. But I think they also make you a bit like open. I think they open your third eye to see all this stuff. Yeah, yeah. I mean, I always say this to you. I'm not posed to what you say. I don't disagree with what you say.

I think you're a bit more that way than I am. You have to open your third eye, Jill. Get wrapping it. Here, just rub it open, connect. My makeup book come off at. By the way, sorry, can we just talk about the fact that Will has been making a fair appearance on your social media?

What on how that's happening? happening. Oh, Georgie hates it so much. It's even better. It seemed like he was quite enjoying it at one point though. No, because it's all just like when I'm, when I actually film him, he's like, you can just see his face face. He's like, oh, but basically we went on a trip to roads and I was like, if you're coming with me, you have to be. We were just talking about this before. Yeah. You know, people around us for what we do for a living, they have to be involved. So my mom was cutting his hair and she said, look, you have to do what she tells you to do. Diane's queen of social media. Yeah, poor Will.

So he was like, okay, so I sent him like what our content would look like. Oh my gosh, you made a plan for him. Just so he could get his head around what actually I expected from him. And he was like, right, okay. This is my life now. But it's just so funny. I mean, I think, yeah, a lot of his friends on that are probably really shocked. Because he actually hates it.

He actually hates it. Yeah, I think he secretly likes it a little bit. You could see his little smirk when he was on camera. He was like, yeah, but also he had had a few beers on holiday. So I think. So just get him drunk. Pretty much. I'm like, come on, well, let's get you drunk.

And that was really hard on holiday as well, not drinking. Oh, God, was it? Yeah, I mean, yeah. Nice cold glass of rosary. But I think when I'm pregnant, like, I don't even fancy a drink. I was a bit like that, you know, when I was pregnant with Cooper, but just, which is shocking, because we all know I love a glass wine.

Yeah. It was just like, I think as you know, you're protecting something and you grow in it. But even like, even if I have a sip, I'm like,

it doesn't taste nice. It just doesn't do what it would do if I... Yeah, yeah. We've not got long, guys. We've not got long. Not got long. Are your, like, midwife appointments

more frequent now then because obviously everything that happened with Phoenix. Yes, they are. Yeah. But we all know how I feel. No, yes. We do. We know how you feel.

They are more frequent, but again, like, it's not the same. No. There wasn't a reason. I know so many people want a reason as to why Phoenix died. But there wasn't a reason. So I'm not actually high risk. Yeah. Right.

Okay. Because it wasn't actually. Obviously, they're doing more scans and stuff like that. And I think that does bring comfort, doesn't it? Yeah. Yeah. Just to see your baby. But, yeah, it's just, yeah.

You know what? It's just a lot of box ticking, isn't it? Yeah, I think it is. The NHS is just full of box ticking to know, you know, even with like different, like obviously I've got my amazing bereavement nurse that I talk about all the time, Amory. And I've actually moved hospitals and the bereavement team just keep trying to ring me from them. But I'm a bit like, well, I've got a bereavement nurse here. Like, I can't, like, it's hard mixing it up.

Yeah, yeah. I think if you've got a brief. But I've got a lot of, I'm seeing a consultant as well, so I'm having a lot of consultant meetings. Right. Yeah. So you're under their care. Yeah. Yeah.

I mean, you do. But like I said, people just want, they want a reason, don't they? Yeah. Like, and that's what I've found from obviously speaking publicly. Again, people want, like, a reason as to right. No, exactly what happened, yeah. The one thing I can say, which I've experienced, is people are going to die. Things die, humans die, dogs die, babies die.

people die that's it and there's sometimes not an explanation as to why yeah yeah but I think we all need a why now because I think we get so many answers yeah if you're looking for an answer now it'll take you two seconds to find an answer oh my god chat g pt gp t gp t yeah I never get that right you're like my mom I'm like what do you use diane she's like chat tp I'm like no no you're we're not using that yeah I think We have so much now that everyone just, they want an answer. I need to get an answer to that. Like, some things in life are unanswered and that's okay.

Have you and Will gone into this pregnancy differently? Or are you just kind of like taking each day as it comes and like just going with the floor? No, I am actually so positive and happy. Yeah. Is any part of you like worried or is any part of Will worried? Probably will, but he's met a nutter. He's met with an nutter. No.

It can only be what it can be. Yeah. So what's the point of worrying? I need you to tell me that whenever I have a worry. Because I do not a worry cows. But George, life could only be what it can be. What's the point?

No, I know. Like you could worry, worry, worry, and nothing might happen. Yeah. I remember someone wants to tell me that. Like, if you're worrying, that means you've worried twice. If it happens, then yeah. But if you're worrying, you've gone through that traumatic experience twice. Yeah.

But you can worry about everything in life. I know. You could, yeah. Well, anyone could get who. hit by a bus tomorrow, couldn't they? Exactly. Anything can happen at any time to any person. Like your life can just like, you know, change at the flick of a switch.

That's it. Yeah. We are here to live life and that's what I'm doing. Welcome to else. You know, a lot of people that have lost children, they probably have got that anxiety and the worry and that's a lot of questions that I keep getting. Are you anxious? No.

I'm not anxious. No. And I think people are like, oh. It's probably major. And is that a bit blunt of me? Like, do people want a soft? Kelsey, but I think that is how I do get through life. Ozzie, you can't change who you are.

Like, what, are you going to be a softer Kelsey just to make other people happy? To go, oh. Yeah. No, because that's not you, is it? No, it's not me. I've never known that to be you. You are matter of fact. And I just think worry about stuff when it actually happens.

Yeah. Yeah. I don't even think you worry that much when things do happen, do you? No, because you can't change. You can't control it. We're like going to a state of stress. So, as much as I can talk to you about your pregnancy, we do have other topics to discuss.

So the social media ban for under 16s is now coming. Yeah. What are we feeling like else? How are we feeling? No, I think, you know, look, this is coming from a mum that doesn't let their children have iPads. Yeah. So I think it's absolutely fantastic.

I worry about the teenagers. I teach a lot of teenagers. I really do worry for their mental health. I think being on social media is a place that you can ultimately get a bullied from the moment you wake up to the moment you go to sleep. Yeah. And it's very judgmental. Look, we know if I would never want my children to go through the trolling and stuff

that we have faced. But if they did pick to do that as a career, I would support them. However, is there a right time? Yeah. And I don't think it's, I think, you know, just they need to live their lives, these children. Yeah, they need to live as. children rather than kids that are on social media trying to like be a certain type of person. Even the proms.

Like have you... Oh my God. I drove into one the other day accidentally because I took Cooper to golf and this prom was going on at the golf club. I've never seen anything like it. I know. It's like a full event, like a day event. On someone's Instagram social media today, they had like all like the younger years were like

behind barriers, they had a red carpet. It was literally like going to like the NTAs or something like that. And they're getting out of these like Bentley's and whatever else looking absolutely amazing. But it's just a lot. Oh, it is a lot. I remember even when we were doing prom at secondary school,

people were hiring like limos and stuff to go. Oh, it's just gone more extreme now, isn't it? Yeah, I mean, it really has. But again, social media is a part of place. Like that you have to have that one upmanship, isn't it? Yeah. I am speaking. to another content creator the other day

and she was saying about how like she's had a bit of backlash because she's obviously like yes this is great the social media ban for under 16s someone had messaged and said but you put your kids on social media so you're contradicting yourself because you're controlling it exactly

and I think that's the thing and I think that's where like it's difficult for us as content creators because people are like but you're putting your kids on social media and it's like we are but we have control they're not there reading the comments They're not there, you know, speaking to people. They're in a photo.

And we have control of that and the photos that they are in. And if Cooper ever says to me one day, Mommy, I don't want to be in your pictures anymore. I'd be like, okay, cool. You don't have to be. Like, that's... That's fair enough. That's your choice completely.

But yeah, I'm just really glad about the ban because it takes the pressure off us as parents to enforce it because there'll be some parents that don't and some parents that do. whereas now that it's the law, it's... Yeah, but George, do you think people are going to do that? Well, no, but it'll help a little bit.

It will help a bit. It will help a little bit. But come on now, everyone was out smoking than that when it's against the law to do it. I wasn't. Oh, I definitely was. I was there a full team puffing on a bag.

So, yeah, I do think how are they going to monitor it? Oh my gosh, I've just read here. Thanks for this bit of information, Dom. In Australia, lots of kids reportedly found words around their ban using VPNs, which is like, it's like an app where you can log on to different countries. Yeah.

They're more tech savvy than all of us. They will find ways around it. But like you said, do you know what? I think it's food for fault for people. Yeah. And I think, you know, I do go on about the social media and the iPads and what it can cause. That it's just for parents to go,

okay, maybe it's not that safe. And I had a lady on here the other day And she was saying You wouldn't let your children Go out into the world And me Okay, a man with the white van Would you?

I go and have a little conversation with him But they're open to all these conversations Online that we have no idea about And when she was saying that I was like It's actually so scary Because it's not even amongst their peers It's the conversations they're having with in these chat rooms and strangers

and, you know, people pretending to be 14 year olds. Well, it was funny because Danny the other day and I was like, absolutely not, darling, we can't do that. So me and him and Cooper were having a little chat about like gaming and, you know, gaming with your mates and stuff like that and you can game online with your mates.

And Danny went, well, I'm sure we could set up so you could just game online with your friends. And I was like, absolutely not because I know a friend of mine's kid got bullied by their own friends because it was all of a sudden faceless and like there was two of the friends at one person's house and then one of the friends

on their own and whenever the two friends were together who no matter who they would gang up on the one on their own and then start being mean and like saying nasty things even though at school their mates and I was like absolutely not it's just a recipe for disaster even when I used to live at home with my mum

and the boy my brother's being on the PlayStation and whatever else and actually the vocab that would come out of their mouths So I was like, wow, it just does crazy things to their brain. Like, whatever anyone says, it does crazy things. Because, yeah, I would be like, wow, where's that language come from? Yeah, where did that come from? Yeah, no.

I just get angry, don't they? But ultimately, yay to the ban. And let's see what happens. And I'm interested to see what happens. Yeah, I am. Like, yeah, I mean, I hope it works, but who knows? We shall see. Who knows?

Mum's the word top fives, cows. Wow, here we go.

We're back. We're back with our top fives. So what have we had? We've had snacks. Yeah. Triggers, homework and pre-mom life. What's this week's topic? This week.

We're chatting about the top five things. Our friends without kids just don't understand. Oh, it's so interesting, isn't it? When you've got friends without kids or when you have been a friend without kids, like I think I've said it before, I was such a bitch to my sister when she had two kids and I had none.

I'm like, why can't you just get in the car and drive across to me and be on time? Like, if you know you've got to be here at this time, just get the kids ready earlier. And then I had Cooper. I was like, ah. Oh, I understand. Now I understand.

And I think it's like some older generations as well where they've like had the kids. and then they just, they've like lost touch with how you have to plan your life. Just planning your life and that's it. Or like, I think they, I think one thing people without kids don't understand is like the canceling. Because sometimes it's just too much and sometimes your kid is playing up or they're teething or something like that. And you're like, this is pointless. There's no point of me doing this.

And then, and then you can't. Because it's not going to be a good time. Yeah, and that's it. Or like the not listening thing. You know, like when you're a parent and you're out with another parent, you know full well, you're going to start about seven million conversations,

be half listening to all of them and never really finish any. Whereas when you're out with somebody that hasn't got kids, it's a bit like that you can see they're almost a bit put out that you're not really properly listening to them. Yeah, you're like, well, no, you've got your eye.

Yeah, on the child. Yeah. Eyes in the back of your head, don't you're going, oh my God, what are they up to? What are they saying? What do you reckon they're doing right now? Yeah, yeah, completely. When they don't get it and they want your full attention.

And you're like, yeah, we should have done this without kids. I know, I always say that. I don't think I've really got any friends who don't have kids, though. I don't really anymore, to be honest. I think as well. It's good when you watch them, though. So say like you were like one of the first and then they go, oh, right. Yeah.

Oh, like you're saying with your sister. I get it. Yeah. I get it now. Yeah, I still get it now. That's like Buffet, who we both know, who's my manager, but you know a adult you can. else. And she, before she had kids, and now she's obviously got a little boy. And she's like, I totally get why you haven't got back to me on this or you've forgotten this. And I'm like, yeah. Yeah. Also just the baby brain in itself. Oh my God. Can you still have baby brain when

you child's hate? I think you can. Okay. The baby brain for me is next level at the moment. I actually just get, I just actually say the wrong words. Like, do you know what it's, I'll be thinking something else and say something completely different. And I'm like, why is my brain doing that? Will just hands her and laugh at me. I'm like, the baby brain is like beyond. Especially I've had to do some live TVs as well. I'm like, please just let my brain work for the seven minutes that I'm going to be on live TV.

Do you ever find like you overthink it? And you're like, oh my God, please don't. No, when they go, don't swear. I was like, well, I wasn't planning on swim, but now you tell them not to swear or what I really want to do with the fuck. Intrusive thoughts. Let your intrusive thoughts win. I know. People started talking about intrusive thoughts.

Like, mommy, do you ever get like an intrusive thought when you walk under a bridge? And I'm like, follow me. What, like, what's his intrusive thought then? The bridge could fall on him? Yeah. Yeah. Oh, like, we walk under one, a train goes over. Like, what if the train just came off its tracks and fell on top of us?

I was like, sweet pie, you really don't need to worry about these things. No, but they are, look, when you have a baby in Ophol, did you ever get that going, oh my God, what if I just fell down the stairs? Or what if I just, or what if I just, or what? whack the baby's head into the side of the doorframe. If I let go of this pram accidentally and it just goes into the road. I can just get mowed over. Oh yeah.

People don't talk about that because people are scared. It sounds like you're an absolute nutter. But I used to get them all the time. Well, there was a lady on this morning. And she ended up really, really ill from her intrusive faults because she was like, she'd have a thought to be like, oh. Oh, I saw this. About touching a child.

She's like, but obviously that. was like the darkness or whatever. She's like, am I paed for? I'm paed for. I'm not about I said I'm paed. I'm paed. And like literally drove herself insane. But I think it's quite good that obviously Cooper is saying that because then we're not having all these kids suffering from anxiety because it's like, no, that's normal. Yeah, he's getting out. If you're having weird thoughts, that's fine because we all have crazy thoughts.

Yeah, yeah. It's so true. And the fact that he's vocalising it rather than just keeping it all in and thinking he's weird. But it's just host. Do you have intrusive thoughts? I don't. How do you even know that word? He said it to one of our best friends recently when they were on a ferris wheel. They were on it together. And he's like, Auntie Rose, do you ever get an intrusive thought

that this might just fall off and we plummet to our death? Rose like, oh my God, Cuba, I wasn't thinking that. But now I am. I could see a little face when she was right up there. I was like, why does she look so petrified? Oh, it's just my child scaring this shit out of it. I think, I mean, I don't know whether we did five that. We never really do five, do we?

No, we just talk. Word vomit. Sorry, Dom. Sorry, Dom. It's time for... We listen and we don't judge. I thought you're going to sing it, because you normally sing it. We listen and we don't judge.

Okay, first one. I only do gentle parenting in public at home. We count three and frown. Frown? Frown? Yeah. Shout, you mean? No, I think at home, they push you to the next level because they go beyond.

I think you can gentle parent when you're out. I don't. What, gentle parent? When I'm out. No. I think, like, not general parent. I just try to ignore certain things. Because otherwise you're just going to spend your whole time having a go at them.

I think you probably let a bit more slide when you're out and about. Yeah. Like, because it's just not worth the argument in public, is it? And I probably wouldn't raise my voice as much. I mean, to be honest, Cooper, bless him. He's such a sweetheart. I never really raise my voice to him anyway. But if I want, yeah, if I suppose when you're in public,

you don't want to embarrass myself. No, I don't know. I do the count of him and I'm like, one, two. Yeah. Do you know, funny enough, I counted to Cooper yesterday. Only because I wanted, we said, come here, Cooper. And we're like, Cooper, come here. And then I counted.

And he didn't come to me in the time. So what did you do? So odd, as I was like, right, you go and sit over there on your own. Just think about that because that was really naughty. Did it? It wasn't really naughty. Yeah, no, he did.

He was very apologetic, actually. Oh, yeah. You just tried to. Because otherwise it would be an empty threat? They are going to push boundaries. Yeah. That's what they're here. That's what they're here for.

Kids, that's what they're here for. That's what they are. They are. My screen time report came through and I deleted for my husband's sort. Oh, right. Why has your husband looking at that anyway? How long have been used? She's probably been on it for like eight hours a day.

So what do you do when I'm at work? Nothing. Just scroll shop. I didn't know you could delete your screen time reports. I mean, I don't think we would even be interested in looking at my. I don't think it's anyone. I don't even, it just pop up randomly every now and again. It does.

I be on a Monday, doesn't it? Oh, does it? Yeah. I mean, I just, I normally just swipe straight off it because it would probably traumatise me how much screen time I actually have. Well, I was quite shocked because I did a podcast the other day with a very well-known person. I won't actually name and shame. And her screen time was 15 hours.

A day? Yeah. She's like, I just listen to podcasts. I'm like, do you? It doesn't screen time mean you're actually physically touching your phone? Was she on this podcast or a different podcast? I went on their podcast. Oh my God, you're going to have to spill millions.

Sorry, listeners. I'm going to find out. Maybe I'll share it. My son asked Alexa a question. You wanted to ask me and honestly she gave a better answer. Yeah, because it's Google. Yeah. But I want to know what the question.

Question was. Yeah, so do I. But yeah, of course. I mean, that I think that is going to be the way of forward. Like, you know, I've already mentioned it, chat GPT, whatever it is. Oh, yeah, it's a lifto-siver. It's a laugh-siver. Lafis-a.

I think that is going to be, like in 10 years' time, that's how we're going to find everything out. Oh, without a doubt. Like, you know, it was the internet and like Google. And now it's... But I know, actually it started off as Encata, Encata, 86, or whatever it was, 95. Did you ever use Encatter? Yeah. That disc that you used to put into your computer.

Where we go, you tell the kids all this stuff that we had. They're like, yeah, all right, boring. It's like, you know what we've been broke. We didn't used to even have the internet. But yeah, I mean, fair, fair. I wouldn't even be ashamed of that. No. I have to Google.

I had to Google. Cooper was doing his maths homework and he was doing shapes at the moment. I had to Google a shape. Oh, no, I had to Google like, what does perpendicular mean? No idea. No, I did. No, I think it means a right angle, but don't, let's not quote me on that, everyone, because how can we know what she's like? Can anyone else's toddler unlock an iPhone but can't put their own shoes on? Yeah, all of them.

I actually, Cooper doesn't know my code for my phone or my laptop. Really? Yeah, yeah. Oh, mind do. Do they? Yeah, no, just because I feel like that's beginning of the end and it'll. Oh, Aurelia now goes in voice notes for my friends. Does she actually? She doesn't care. She just goes on it. Oh, no. Yeah, FaceTime.

Yeah, no. She doesn't care. I'm a lot. Bodey wouldn't dream of doing that, Raleigh, does not care. No. But also, I'm like to Bodey, because he's going through this,

like, I think they go through, like, a regression stage. Hmm. And he's going into year one. And I think at the moment is, well, if you're, I'm going to have to talk to your teachers because if you can't get dressed and you can't put your shoes on in reception,

you're going into year one, there's going to be a problem, isn't there? He's like, I can, I can. A nice little threat, yes. Oh, the school sent home a reading challenge and we've been faking the log since week two. Fair, fair.

I remember we used to get like, tick off the books that you'd read. Yep. We'd just tick them all off. I was like, oh God, I mean, screw trying to find all these books. Can you read? Yes.

Can you read? Yeah, fine, let's just tick on. And I just think towards this, the back end of this term, absolutely crazy. Oh. Everything. I mean...

Oh, there's so much sports day and homework and swimming and shows. Yeah, radio's on a school trip today. It's just like never ending. Next we've got prize giving. There's just so much happening. Yeah. That I'm like, so you expect them to do

the reading and the homework as well? Honestly, I know. These poor kids, Cooper's like, Mommy, I just don't understand. I'm like, sweetheart, neither do I. No. Don't know why you have to do it. No, we're not back to homework again, are we?

The dreading homework. You know much. I'm Kels. That's a wrap on the other episodes. That's a wrap, baby. Don't forget to leave us a review. Follow us on socials at Mums the Word underscore pod. And subscribe to our YouTube channel
