Red Dye 40, Free Daycare & the Hallway Incident

This week on Past Our Bedtime: a mom in a country with FREE daycare wonders if she'd even use it (we debate this for a while), a first-time mom in North Dakota is too scared to leave the house with her 8-week-old and we share what we wish we'd done differently, and someone asks what you actually miss about being pregnant.

We share our parenting loss of the week, baby discovered he could crawl and pee at the same time, straight down the hallway carpet...  and the parenting wins, which is that baby learned his first sign language word. We'll let you guess which one happened first.

Then Taylee climbs fully onto her soapbox: crunchy parents are raising kids who will never experience gushers, Kool-Aid, or fruit by the foot, and she has a lot of feelings about it. Braydon thinks she's being dramatic. The debate is ongoing.

Also: 4-1-1 was absolutely a real thing and we cannot believe we had to google it.

Not doctors. Not qualified. Just two mid-twenties parents keeping it real every week.

Who's your celebrity look like? Megan Fox. Your sweet. Oh, Maria Gosling. Wow. I mean, is that equivalent to someone saying Megan Fox? Since my mom claims she's always catching strays in this podcast, I would like to say how much my parents are probably the number one fans of Love is Blind. Like both of them. When I introduced them to the show, they literally watched the entire, like all ten seasons. That's pretty much. Like a week. Both of them. I think I've separately 10 episodes. Yeah, I mean it's a good show. You get into it. Yeah, it's kind of funny. I just never wait for you to finish it. Yeah. That's okay, you don't need to. So yeah, there you go. That's your stray for this week, mom. Love you. So good stuff. So funny. They're hilarious. Well, we got some good stuff for you tonight on the parent help line. Per huge cue, the ding ding ding.

Yeah, that's the phone sound. Ding ding ding. That's like the stock open bill. You said that last time. You just got stocks on your mind. Stocks on my mind. Yeah, d have we told them about your little side hustle you got going? I'm pretty sure. I'm up big right now. I thought you said it was gonna slow down because the stock market had slowed down. Well, no, I it has like my gains haven't been as big as they were at the beginning, but I'm up overall pretty big. Yeah. Almost two grand. Wait, did you ever You are?

unknown 3:08

Yeah.

Taylee 3:09

Did you ever cash it out to pay for them? No. Oh. Interesting. Brayden's been begging me to buy a robot vacuum, and he said that he would make the money for it on the stock party. And I did. And he did, but now it's still in the stock market. I'm just like attached to it being in there and I can't take it out now. That feels like gambling.

unknown 3:31

Why?

Taylee 3:32

I don't know. That just feels risky. I'm not losing anything. Sometimes I lose like 60 bucks. Well, good for you. Up 2k, eh? So far. Could lose it all tomorrow. We'll see what happens. Oh my gosh. Why are you betting it all? I mean it's all sitting in a stock. In one sole stock? Two stocks. Which one is? Applied digital. What's that? They like build data centers. I don't fully understand, to be honest. And SoFi.

SPEAKER_01 4:06

Oh, SoFi.

Taylee 4:08

Yeah, they have a scandal going on right now though, so they're going down.

SPEAKER_01 4:11

Oh, you should take it out. Take it out.

Taylee 4:14

Yeah, it's tied up for another week, so gosh.

SPEAKER_01 4:17

We gotta ride the scandal.

Taylee 4:19

I don't really think that's a good idea. No. Have you are you aware of this scandal? It's everywhere. It's made national news. The Bachelorette thing. Yeah. I'm aware. Yeah. What are your thoughts? Not much.

unknown 4:37

No.

Taylee 4:38

Good for her for nothing. Good for her. Good for them for taking her off TV. They're terrible though. They knew about it the whole time. Evil. Classic. The I guess like a bunch of the Mormon wives went to them and were like, we want to stop filming because of all this. Like we don't feel comfortable with it. They're like, there's more than more that you don't know about. And the producers are like, we don't want to hear it. Like, we don't want to know. We don't want to know. We don't hear it.

unknown 5:04

What the freak?

Taylee 5:05

They're terrible. Yeah.

unknown 5:07

Yeah.

Taylee 5:08

Pretty brutal. I don't watch. I don't subscribe. I've stopped. I'm not giving that girl that girl money. The lady that cut my hair today was talking about it. That doesn't surprise me. Well, you look sharp. Thanks. Brian. Brian Gosling. I should grow my hair long like he did in the movie. Wait, like the part with him in the glasses? Because yeah, you should also get glasses. All the way long. And a beard. That's a good vibe. No, no. I mean, yeah, you you can try and grow a beard like that. I will you can it is not gonna happen.

unknown 5:46

Okay. Alright.

Taylee 5:48

For a month. Okay. Yeah. I'm gonna win this bet. Let's make a bet. What do I get? What do you want a bet? What do I get? For what? All your stock money. No. Yeah. I'll never take it out. What? Alright, do your ding ding ding. Let's get this going. We'll do it. Do it. We need like a like into like a beep beep beep. What's the 411? Choo choo. Ding ding bing. 411. Isn't that like the helpline? Like when you're calling for information, 411. You should call it. Wait, 411. No. Do you want me to call 411? Should we do this on the pod? I don't know. Is it a real thing? It's fake. Wait, is it 811? Is it 811? Am I thinking of the wrong number? I don't think there's a number for whatever you're talking about. No, there used to be a number back in the day that was like the original Google. And it was 411. Yes, it is. This is our bicker of the week and it's happening live. It is, Braden. I'm asking chat right now. Chat just says whatever you want it to say. No, it doesn't, Braden. Was there a telephone number you could call back in the day for information? It's the original Google. Yes, before the internet, there were a bunch of phone numbers you could call for information. The most famous one was 411. Boom! What kind of information would they be? Any directory assistance. Phone number for addresses, people, businesses. A real person would look it up for you. On what? If they didn't have the internet. They don't have the internet. Oh, well, they have like um those big old books.

unknown 7:51

Oh.

Taylee 7:51

Yeah, like the directory books, you know? Dude. I'm like, if we had a scoreboard for Bicker of the Week Haley, like a billion, you maybe one. It's not like Google, though. What? It wasn't like Google, they just were looking up names and phone numbers. Well, it was the original Google. An idea had to come from another idea, Freedom. What do you mean? I was thinking. You had never heard of four. Calling in and asking how many legs an octopus has or something. I think you could. I think you still could. I didn't think that was the purpose. Do you want me to ask? No. Let's go to the pair. Wait, time and weather lines, paid info, entertainment lines, like sports scores. Whoa, you could have called s for sports scores. Because think about that. What if you didn't have a radio? Well, everyone had a radio then. Well, think about your life if you had to listen to sports on a radio. I think that like you would be sad. I actually think I would enjoy it. Why? At least for baseball. You wouldn't like watching it? Baseball. No one likes to do that. I don't know about that. What? You just gave me like a death clear speech. What? Ding ding ding! Alright, let's get the parallel started. Okay, okay, okay. Would you put your baby in daycare if it was free? I work in nine to five jobs, so I put my toddler in daycare. In my country, it's free. Oh, excuse me. So I have no excuses to quit my job and stay home, but I'm wondering if I would give up daycare if I were to s wait. If I would oh, oh. I'm wondering if I would even give up daycare if I were to stay home. I could drop her off at 9.30 and pick her up at 3.30, which would reduce the time she's there, but I probably would keep daycare as a routine. She absolutely loves it. There's music class and yoga class. What would you do? What country is this? Where it's free to do yoga and music class. Who does yoga with toddlers? I don't know, but I feel like I should try that. With Max and doing yoga? That's hilarious. That's pretty funny. Um is that real? Are there countries that have free daycare? I'm looking that up. Okay. That's crazy. How do yeah, who pays like the workers, the government? I guess. Would you really want a government worker watching your kid all day? Yes. Okay, several countries. Um France has free preschool starting at age three. That's cool. Germany has free daycare for children over three. Sweden, dude. I knew Sweden.

Braydon 11:40

I knew Sweden.

Taylee 11:42

Norway, Finland. You said Finland, but I didn't. Denmark and the UK. That's pretty cool. Basically, it's more like free preschool. From the ages three to five. Oh. So not like right when they're born. No. Yeah, I probably wouldn't do that. Well, actually, I guess if it was preschool, yeah, I would do that. Yeah, like, because they do need to go to preschool. Do you have to do it every day? Like.

Braydon 12:11

Just take them, like.

Taylee 12:12

But then why would you stop why would you stop working if she's in preschool? That's weird. I mean, I don't know. I guess live your life. Like a lot to do. Are you mega rich? Like, can you go just take tennis lessons and like I don't know, do fun stuff all day? Then sure, live your dream. Um do like half-day daycare. Yeah, or like twice-a week daycare. I would love that. That'd be great. I feel like full-time daycare.

unknown 12:43

Nah.

Taylee 12:44

Probably not. I just feel strongly about not having other people like raise my children full-time. I just as a past babysitter, I know from experience that like I'm not, I don't care about as much about your kid as you care about your kid. Like, that's a job for me, and I'm just trying to get through it. So, like, yeah, watch the TV. Okay, this makes me sound like a horrible babysitter. Yeah, you must have sucked. No, I was actually a really good babysitter, but I'm just saying, like, you care so much more about your own kid, like their well-being, and like Yeah. I don't know. Yeah, I would do half day every other day. Yeah. Maybe and well, yeah. I don't know. I guess live your dream. Should we move? Sure. Sweden, here we come. It takes you I need to like start getting Max and on preschool list now for here. It's freaking ridiculous. Sheesh, bro. It's so crazy. It's literally like so intense and it's preschool. I need to find some basement. A basement preschool? Yeah. That's where I would. Those are where it's at. Those are where it's at. Miss Andy. I know. She's from Tennessee. You're the only 10 assie. Yeah, hopefully we can find one. Yeah, it won't be that hard. Because I don't want to do I don't want to do preschool.

unknown 14:06

No.

Taylee 14:07

Yeah, I'm like, I feel like strongly about no daycare, but then I also feel strongly about no homeschool, so I don't know. That's where I stand. Does that contradict each other? No. A little. Yeah, I was thinking about it, I'm like, it's kind of sad that like starting at age five, it's just the norm. Like, we just send our kids away for eight hours a day. Yeah. It's a long time. Until they're 18. I'm kind of on board with the homeschool co-op people. I mean, yeah, if I could find a good group. Yeah, I think that's good. But also like sports. I'm like really adamant about our kids doing extracurriculars. They're definitely playing sports. So maybe like homeschool, like until high school. Yeah. Why? Why is that? We'd really do that. With a co-op, like with a big group of people. Yeah, I would never do that by myself. No. Oh, I showed you the school I found, didn't I? Yeah, yeah, you did. And then we looked at the tuition. Seven grade. A semester. That's literally more than our college. That was more than our college. I wonder if our kids will go to college. I wonder what that's gonna turn into. Because like then you have college sports and it's like those aren't going away. No. But is the degree going away? Kind of. So what's that gonna be? I don't know. Weird. Huh. Well, I think we beat that one. As we like to say around here. Should we go to the next one? Yeah. Okay, this one was just so cute and feel good.

unknown 15:55

Perfect.

Taylee 15:56

Um, started writing down one thing my baby did each week, and I'm so glad I did. When my baby was about two months old, I started keeping a quick note plus photos each week. Just one thing that they did that was new. Nothing fancy, just stuff like notice the ceiling fan for the first time, or laughed at the dog sneezing. They're nine months now, and I went back and read through all of them last night. I'd forgotten so much already, like I had zero memory of them discovering their hands until I read it. Read my own note about it. Took maybe 30 seconds a week. Best parenting habit I picked up. Um, do you guys do this? Yeah, I actually kind of did do that for the first year. You did? Yeah. I've like journaled. I didn't like well, I would always like put something that you did that was like funny that day or that. And there's pictures on all of them. Aw, that's cute. Are you still doing it? Uh not every week.

SPEAKER_01 16:47

Oh, why not?

Taylee 16:48

Every now and then. You should. Wait, why'd you stop? I don't know, just got busy. Well, you should pick that up again. Yeah. Yeah. Journal our family. Big, I have not done that at all. I take a lot of pictures, but it's a really cute idea. I want to start doing that though, just to like write one thing down. Yeah. That's easy. Because I'm really bad at like. Well, somehow I am in a scrapbooking group, but I just have a scrapbook. And I'm I have no future plans to star one. That seems like something I could do, and that would be cute to remember. Yeah, that'd be like. Because even when she said like I just remembered that he discovered his hands. I'm like, I totally forgot that Maxon discovered his hands one day. Yeah. That was so cute. And they were all like playing around. Oh my gosh. For a long time. They still do so much. And even like this week he learned his first sign language. Yeah. Up done. Dang. Yeah, that was a great idea. Um, and I'm gonna steal that from you, so thank you for sharing. There you go. Yeah. It's easy. You just use the journal app on your phone. Yeah. What do you think your best parenting hack is that you've learned? Hmm. My best parenting hack? Yeah. She said that's your best parenting hack. I don't even know. What parenting hacks do I have?

unknown 18:17

I don't know.

Taylee 18:17

I feel like I just took people's parenting hacks. Somehow you're like a magician though, lately. Putting himself. When he wakes up at night?

unknown 18:28

Yeah.

Taylee 18:28

Like, Brayden will just go in there. I I don't even know. Like, what do you do? Like, what happened? Just tell him goodnight, like, ten times, and then I love him, and then I rub his head a few times and lay him down and he just goes. It's literally crazy. Like, I've never witnessed something so crazy. Sometimes it's faster than that. Sometimes you literally walk in, lay him down, and he is asleep instantly. Well, he usually still usually he walks, watches me walk out. It's so bizarre. Because every time I go in there, he's like begging for me to get him out, and it's like an hour and a half process to get him to go back to sleep. Yeah, I don't know what I did. It's so crazy. I would say that's your best parenting hack, but I don't know how you do it. I don't know how anyone can replicate that. It's literally magic. I don't know what it is. But it's magic. Yeah, it is pretty magical. I would say my best parenting hack.

unknown 19:30

Hmm.

Taylee 19:32

I have no idea. I literally can't think of a single parenting hack. Neither can I. Dang. Should we be using more hacks? Like, are we missing out? Uh sleep dreaming I guess. That was like a hack, I guess. Yeah. That worked great. I'm loving that. That's all I can think of. Yeah. I just love, like, I know no matter how bad the day, I'm gonna have those hours from seven to whenever I go to sleep. And it's beautiful. Got a few hours every day. Yeah. To be chill. Yeah. No mom duty. Yeah.

Braydon 20:14

Yeah.

Taylee 20:14

That's nice. Yeah, I like my T. I love TV. I love to watch TV.

SPEAKER_00 20:20

Yes. Yeah.

Taylee 20:23

So, anyways, um, yeah, I don't know. But that was cool. That was a good idea. That was so adorable. Thank you for giving us advice. Yeah. Um, okay. Just wondering. Oh, this is a good one. Just wondering when other parents start bringing their babies out of the house more often. First time mom with an 8.5-week-old boy, and other than his appointments or walks, I haven't really brought him anywhere. He starts daycare in four weeks, and I'm not overly sorry, I don't know why I'm yelling so much. I'm not overly confident in being outside of the house with him, so I feel like I should get some practice in, but maybe that's silly. We also live in North Dakota. Well, I'm sorry. And honestly, the weather tends to add to my hesitation. I think I need to get more confident just taking him outside more often. Yeah. Um, I would say this coming from a first-time mom, this is only a first-time mom problem. Because you are so stressed and you're so scared, and the doctors make you so scared, especially when your baby's born in the winter. So, like, I have the same fear, and I wish a thousand times over that I started getting out of the house more because mentally I was felt way better when we were out. I felt way like more confident about me taking care of the baby when we went out, and I just felt better overall. And when you feel better, you're a better mom.

unknown 21:52

True.

Taylee 21:53

So I wish I did that a thousand times over. I wish I started doing that earlier. Yeah. I feel like we went out fairly regularly at the beginning. No, we didn't. After the first time. We never took him out. No, we didn't. No, we didn't. Really? Even remember, like, it was like one doctor's appointment, we were on our way home, and I wanted to go get Keynes, and I was like, Do you think we can sit inside? And you're like, We better not. So we did the drive-through. That's funny. Well, that was like the first like three weeks, wasn't it? Yeah. But I don't know. I just feel like we could have taken him into the restaurant. True. Yeah. But we were we were paranoid. True. Like we would put him in that cover in the car seat, we would take him into the store.

Braydon 22:40

But like think about it though.

Taylee 22:43

With your next kids, you're going to have a toddler, so there's no way you're going to be able to stay in the house. And also, all the germs from outside are already getting in your house from said toddler. And so it's just kind of inevitable. So don't be afraid. Your baby's gonna be fine. Babies are so revealed. In Paradise, the guy walked across the country with the babies in this fictional show. They haven't made it across the country yet. Yeah, but the baby's fine. Yeah. But on it, and yeah, if you're breastfeeding, like those babies are invincible. Yeah. They got so many antibodies, it's crazy. Yeah, so and also I'm kind of a big bleeder. Just like build their immune systems. But yeah, you do say that a lot. I do. I gotta stand by it. Um, yeah, don't be afraid. I think you're gonna be fine. It's gonna be good. It's gonna feel good to get out, ma. Yeah. Babies love to be outside too. Or chill outside. Yeah. North Dakota, though. Yeah, there's like barely anyone that lives there, so you should be fine. People that do live too. Population 20. Just kidding. We're gonna get canceled by the North Dakota. Hey, we lived in North Dakota, so I can say that. Yeah, fun fact about us. We lived in North Dakota. How long were we there for? A month. Don't honestly, that was plenty of time. We lived in three different cities in North Dakota. We saw it all. There wasn't much to see. No. A lot of oil fields, a lot of oil up there. Really cool rec centers. Oh my gosh. Like they had the most amazing rec centers. I mean, yeah, that's all they had, but they had rec centers and Buffalo Wildlings. Yeah, that's like the only rec centers. In every city. They had it. Every city. That's funny. Yeah. So they had cool sunrises and sunsets.

Braydon 24:52

Yeah.

Taylee 24:54

Really? A large population of members of our church there. Yeah. In one of the cities. Will Will Williston. Williston. Williston. They were cool. I really liked them. I'm just, yeah, that's that's a rough place to live. That's crazy. No target. Didn't remember that. Why would you? So yeah, your baby's fine there. Yeah. You can take them anywhere. Alright. This is a question for you, Braden. Okay. Just kidding. No, it's not. Is there anything at all you miss about pregnancieslash being pregnant? Cravings. You miss that? No, that was way too much Chick-fil-A. It was Chick-fil-A like every day. I know. And then it morphed into Buffalo Wild Wings. Oh my gosh. Buffalo Wild Wings has never tasted so good. No, okay. Do you remember towards the end of my pregnancy? Um, you never had it, but that Bria grilled cheese from Nordstrom Cafe. Yeah. I craved that. That has never tasted so good. I never ate that. Yeah. And the swig peppermint cookies. Yeah, we got those again this year and they were not good. No, I thought they were good. You didn't think they were good? Yeah. I didn't like the chocolate one. It was it was always chocolate. Yeah. The first year it was better, I thought. Oh, so you liked pregnancy cravings too? Yeah. You had your own. Yeah. Okay. Well anyways. She says, I'm in my 29th week currently, and obviously cannot wait to meet my baby. I would just like to know what little things you miss about being pregnant so I can cherish those moments now and enjoy as much as I can instead of waiting. Don't say get some sleep. You remember what it's like. Anything you would have liked to tell your pregnant self would also help. Well, maybe I should have been better about this. Um I just like how everyone like treats you so special. They're like, oh, like you're pregnant. Like, let me lift that. You get this seat. And you feel like you totally can't take that seat. You're like, yeah, I'm pregnant, I'm taking the good seat. Things like that. I like. You feel special. And it's like you're just doing something so cool, and yeah. You just have an excuse to rage. Do you? Yeah. Wow. And yeah. That's about it. It's kind of fun. Like, honestly, I kind of felt confident in my body when I was pregnant.

Braydon 27:46

Yeah.

Taylee 27:47

Yeah, so that was cool. There you go. I don't know. Love your dream. Love your life. Your cute little babies in there. That's so exciting. You're growing human. That's pretty cool. What do you miss about me being pregnant? Anything but I was a joy. I would describe you as laughing. Really? Yeah. Why are you laughing? Why are you laughing? That's right. What do you not miss about me being pregnant? Chick fil A. Besides the gravy. What the heck? Oh. I don't even really. It's just a weird time of life. I feel like it didn't really affect you. A weird time of life? It didn't affect you that much. I mean, you were pregnant and that was exciting, but like. I don't know. What should I have missed? What should I not have missed? I don't know. I feel like that was a trap question. Well, you fell into it. You answer it terribly. No comment. No comment. You could say you missed my cute bump. She said, what did I not miss? Oh, well, you could say, like.

unknown 29:15

I don't know. Yeah.

Taylee 29:17

Well, like, no, you could say me not being able to do stuff. Or being tired, not having as much energy. Yeah, that's fine. Or like, yeah, when I had to go on bed res, we couldn't play sports. Yeah. I do not miss that. That's for sure. Yeah. Right on. But what do you miss? What did you say to say during that quick? Oh my gosh. You're canceled by me. Well, that was it for the parent helpline tonight. I hope we helped you. And yeah. If you're new to the show, that's our segment where we answer people's parenting questions and mainly just talk about them. We try to give advice, but mainly just comment. So if you'd like to be part of that, please DM us, leave a comment, email, anyway, call us. Literally anything. Literally any way to get a hold of us. We will read it on here. And give us your best answer. Yes. Well, I had something else that I wanted to share on this podcast. Oh! I got it. Okay. Okay, so I went to my Hannah. I think I told you this already, but this is a new tangent and hill I'm willing to die on. Oh boy. I am pro red dye 40. This is the dumbest thing I ever heard. And here's why. Kids these days are gonna be so freaking weird. Okay, I was I went to my friend's. My friend threw this cute Hannah Montana party, like for the Hannah Montana 20th anniversary. You know? As you know. So I went to it, and she had all these like nostalgic snacks and cool like Kool-Ids, goldfish, fruit snacks or fruit by the foot, gushers, um, cosmic brownies. She had the just like all the like classic 2000 kids' snacks, you know? And I was thinking, and I was like, oh my gosh, like this is just such a fun era of our lives, like drinking Kool-Aids and like doing all that. And I'm like, kids nowadays aren't even gonna know what Kool-Aid is or anything, they're gonna be drinking their weird organic juice and like eating veggie sticks, and they'll never get an experience eating gushers, and that's so sad. Oh, I think they're gonna get to experience gushers. No, bro, not with all these crazy crunchy parents that you might be. But I still give it a few. No, literally, the crunchy parents be crazy. Like, these kids never have in any of that. I'm only like half crunchy. And they're like homemaking their own, I don't even know, graham crackers or like goldfish? I don't even know what they homemaked. I actually saw someone homemake goldfish and they did look really good. I am never homemaking goldfish. Are you kidding me? Well, actually, no, that is cheese. Yeah, you sent those to me. I did.

unknown 32:41

Yeah.

Taylee 32:41

They look delicious. I would be. But what I was saying is whatever dirt these kids are gonna be eating for their snacks, it's just that it's not gonna compare to the gushers. Or the fruit that you could tattoo your tongue on. Sometimes. Yeah, I know, but it was fruit roll-up. All the cool kids, like, that's what they ate. Fruit roll-ups. Yeah. Gushers. Yeah, now the cool kids are gonna be eating like bee pollen and weird stuff like that. So bring back red dye 40. I can't get off this stand at the end. I think this is what I'm at. This is a dumb soapbox to get out. I'm just gonna feel sad. Like, if you never eat a chips of oy, like they're not that good, but it's just part of childhood. They're not gonna be eating treats. They're gonna be surrounded by weirdos who don't even know what those mean. They're gonna be like, what's a Kool-Aid? I only drink purified water straight from the mountain spring. I would do that. I know you would. Or what's like mountain spring water? That'd be cool. What's this gusher thing? I only eat dried mangoes my mom grew in our backyard. Yeah, bro. I don't think the world is gonna be like that. Braden, it is. No, it's it already is like that. No, it's not. Braden, I'm too round. Kids don't get to choose what way they are. Like they don't like brag about eating that stuff. Braden, they are going to when that's all they know. No, they're not. You don't know that. Yes, they are. No, they're not. Yes, they are. That's all they know. That's all they know. This is a dumb stand. I think you're a dumb stand. We're fine. We ate it. We're fine. Of course, in moderation, like, I'm not gonna just shove my kid full of gushers every day, but like every once in a while, let the kid have a gusher and a Kool-Aid. Yeah. I love Kool-Aid and Hawaiian punch. That stuff is good. No one's arguing with you. Oh, Braen, a lot of people are arguing with me. A lot of people are very anti that stuff. You remember my one friend who was telling me about it the other day. How all of this stuff is absolutely horrendous for you. Yeah. Sheesh. Yeah. You're out of this is- I think this is gonna look really weird for the podcast. Yeah, you're like fully like what you doing. Um, what were we saying?

unknown 35:43

I don't remember.

Taylee 35:44

I think the Yeah. I don't think the kids are gonna be that weird though. The kids are gonna be freaking weird between that and like iPads. It's gonna be like four iPad kids that won't be able to communicate, and then these like woodland children who like wear weird, like brown organic photography. That's what it's gonna be like, Braden. I just want some middle ground. I want the normal kids, the normal cartoons on a Saturday. Well, I'm not saying my kids are gonna be like that. I've seen other people's kids. Oh my gosh. Yeah, that was my soapbox. Yeah, that was quite the soapbox. I know, quite the stance, huh? Yeah, that didn't make sense. But weird. We're getting into it. So yeah, anyways. Wow. That's all I have to say about this week.

Braydon 36:46

Oh my goodness. That was crazy.

Taylee 36:49

Thank you.

Braydon 36:50

Wow. Mm-hmm.

Taylee 36:54

Well, I don't know how I'm so biased to say it on. Why not? I thought you were gonna do the your parenting win.

unknown 37:03

Oh.

Taylee 37:04

I had more of a parenting loss. I was just kind of like signaling at you to like start that one. Parenting loss. Well, just the segment. Oh, parenting win and loss. Yeah. You can be in charge of this segment. Okay. She should parenting loss this week. Wow, yeah, you really have a loss, I guess.

unknown 37:27

Taylee 37:28

Have you not told me this yet? No. We have not seen each other a lot this week, so this is a good catch-up moment. This is a funny one. So lately, the last few times I've been getting homey in the back.

Braydon 37:41

Okay.

Taylee 37:42

It's actually really funny until he does something else. But I like go turn on the bat, then he crawls up there, and I like him taking off his clothes, and he gets all the way naked, and then he like runs away from me. Like crawls away as fast as he can. He thinks it's hilarious. Yeah. But on Tuesday, he was doing it. And he was crawling and peeing at the same time.

Braydon 38:04

What?

Taylee 38:07

All the way down our hallway. I mean he pees, it's like a just a blip, like one second. No, it was just like peed all the way down our hallway. It's kind of funny. On our carpet. He was laughing. How did you clean it? With water? I don't know. You didn't put cleaner on that? Well, it didn't stain anything. Yeah, but it's the smell. Have you smelled it? It's thirsty. Braden, but like You would have smelled it. No, we don't we are um what's the word? We're not nose bikes. We're immune. No, we're immune to the smell of our house. Braden, you should have put carpet cleaner on that. No one can smell it. Oh my gosh, that is crazy. It's pretty funny. That's my parenting loves. That's funny. We were both laughing the whole time because it was kind of funny. Well, it is funny, but now I'm worried for our door bit. Oh my gosh. Wow. But yeah. That's wild. It's kind of funny though. It's a funny game that he's been playing lately. That's really funny. Yeah, he loves to play. I don't care if it was Monday or Tuesday, one of those days. Wow. He does love to try to get away. Yeah, it's really funny. He'll get away, but then he'll stop and wait for me to come tickle. I'm like, you can keep going, bro. You're not that fast. I'm like, I was just giving you a head start. He's really fast. Yeah. I think he's like, and then he just waits. He's like. Yeah. So funny. So funny. Yeah, my parent. My parenting win. Oh, okay. I thought of it. He was playing hide and seek with me this morning. Oh, that was so funny. That was hilarious. That was a good win. Yeah, that was a good win. My parenting loss is you leaving for work every single day because he screams for hours. And you always, I feel like you're doing this on purpose. You always come back in and make a re-entrance. And then you're like, oh, I'm so sorry. Bye, buddy. I love you. And he cries even more. And I feel like you do it on purpose. I feel like you do. I never done it on purpose. That is questionable. Because how can you forget stuff literally all the time? I don't know, babe. Yeah, so you're banned from doing that.

unknown 40:14

Okay.

Taylee 40:15

Like the door is being locked, and you're not allowed to come back in once you leave. Okay. That's my loss. My win is that homie learned his first sign language. And he does alto when he's done with his food on his high chair. And I just feel like I have a little Einstein. So yeah, I'm really proud of that.

unknown 40:39

Yeah.

Taylee 40:40
