Hello and welcome to episode 18. This week you can look forward to us talking about going to the museum, like the wild people we are, daddy groups or the lack of, and trying to find parent friends and realizing that you find a lot of people boring. So enjoy!
Dan 1:are off.
Tilly:So, as always, welcome to week, uh, 19? We're five months isn't Bubz has been quite vocal today, hasn't A chatty cafe. We
Dan 1:With your big blue eyes.
Tilly:Oh, So, today we're sat here having a sort of like, last minute lunch, aren't
Dan 1:after I threw a bit of a tantrum in Hungry hubby wasn't Hungry hubby
Tilly:hubby wasn't happy.
Dan 1:wasn't happy.
Tilly:happy.
Dan 1:Hangry hubby
Tilly:get
Dan 1:Didn't even get past one, did I, though, so
Tilly:Um, yeah we had a nice morning didn't we? Went to the Reading Museum.
Dan 1:Mm hmm.
Tilly:It's a pretty good little wander round there. And then we went for a nice coffee and we saw a couple of our mates.
Dan 1:And we
Tilly:Mates. I wanted to catch up with them, which is lovely. And then we spent some time looking for childcare.
Dan 1:spent some time
Tilly:Because, left it really late. Apparently so. Everyone's like, oh, you used it before your baby's even born. And
Dan 1:born. Yeah, I
Tilly:It's a bit much though, isn't it?
Dan 1:I think it also depends, you're planning on doing. Like,
Tilly:We're doing
Dan 1:competitive the area is. There's actually a lot of nurseries
Tilly:around There is actually, we're Might be a lot of shit ones. Who knows? Yeah.
Dan 1:Whenever I'm on a dog walk, I seem to spot a new
Tilly:I don't mind if they're like, No, but like, do you know what I mean? I don't, I don't really care if they're like polished or if they're gonna do lots and loads of like teaching and stuff. Like, it's more, I think to begin with, it's more important that it's just a, a welcoming, caring, loving That sort of encourages creativity. Later on, educational stuff is more important. But, like, with how young she's going to be going, I just want someone who's going to, there's going to be stimulation anyway, because there's going to be other children. There's already stimulation.
Dan 1:so actually somebody who caters for her needs Who knows?
Tilly:it's because she's she doesn't Yeah, so just that sort of like, a safe, warm environment really, is more what I think, It's important for now. And then when she's older, like we've spoken about, when she starts walking, we upgrade her, as it were, to a bit more of a involved
Dan 1:bit more of a
Tilly:involved childcare. Then that's more important and we've longer for that. So for now it's just that I want it to be a nice environment really. that right, bubs?
Dan 1:people, if you haven't had kids yet, be warned. cheap, is it? Daycare, day nursery.
Tilly:childminders are a bit cheaper. Yeah.
Dan 1:But we're looking at about 70 a day ish. Aren't we 60 to little Zoe? Yeah,
Tilly:Yeah, but hopefully you're only going to have to go a couple of days a hopefully. She started doing this like, Italian gangster mafia. Eyyy.
Dan 1:over the audio format that is podcast.
Tilly:guess what that is audio format.
Dan 1:let's hope my, my attempts at AI good, eh?
Tilly:that eh? Because as much as you love your weekend cereal, it doesn't necessarily keep you full for very long, does Um, and you'd only had a, like, a mocha and a few of So, as we were going, we did a little bit of charity shop looking progressively Because, you know, you didn't mind going to charity shops, you were enough good stuff So then we went into Iceland. And then, I was like, I was just going to pick something out for your dinner. But then you got annoyed at the fact that I gave you the option. Oh,
Dan 1:So my issue was, that I was already hungry. And there's so many things in Iceland that I wanted to
Tilly:but I couldn't
Dan 1:any of them right then. I knew that it would have to be like, it's shopping for food that you want, that you can't eat, for, when you want it it's was a little bit There was
Tilly:what did you chow on the way home?
Dan 1:Um, a Costello cheese donut. just A of cheese, sorry. Which is, pineapple and almond cheese.
Tilly:kind, it's some kind
Dan 1:you've got some good cows in there, didn't I Zoe?
Tilly:you had a donut as well. ring shaped foods.
Dan 1:Yeah, I was tempted, because I had two doughnuts, making a doughnut sandwich
Tilly:with cheese I was thinking Then I was like, oh, it might be a bit too sweet and savoury
Dan 1:you. But that cheese wasn't that sweet, nor was it that savoury.
Tilly:savoury. I
Dan 1:interesting. No, I didn't mind it. That's
Tilly:I don't
Dan 1:So, what are we now
Tilly:now eating? Mm
Dan 1:Mm hmm.
Tilly:And I've got the last of my tabbouleh, with a little bit of the like, protein y, bean y seed mix thing on so yeah, very exciting. Um, so, this week, again, you've been away.
Dan 1:Fill in a lot, eh? Well,
Tilly:you? Well, you've been a bit grisly this week, hasn't she? So she's had a bit of a nasty, snotty cold, so We've not necessarily done masses this Um, but saying that, on Tuesday, we went to baby yoga and baby sensory. So that was good. So baby yoga was sort of, that was quite nice Just, you know, you do a bit of yoga with the baby, a bit of yoga sort of next to the baby, or as much as you can do. You sort of do bits and you might have to feed for a bit and then That's fine. At the start of the class she's like, really low your like, have your low Um, so that was really nice. And then, straight afterwards we drove over to our first baby sensory class and it was under the sea theme. So each week there's a different That's quite nice. Um, I know you shouldn't say this, bad parent alarm coming I know it doesn't matter, but I am glad that Zoe's cute. I realise that we're biased, but people say she's cute, so I'm just
Dan 1:a lovely baby. And sometimes people tell me they're like, oh yeah, I saw my friend's I mean, I'll, you know, I'm not, I'm not going around requesting these compliments. I don't need
Tilly:if she wasn't an ugly baby, I don't really mind too much. Because like you said, it's better to be an ugly child. So you, you build character. And then blossom as you get older. If she's anything like me, she'll kind of look like this as a baby. Because she looks a lot like I did as a baby. might become a really weird looking kid. But then she'll get better as she gets
Dan 1:She probably will, because the female genes in your family are stupidly strong.
Tilly:They're pretty
Dan 1:You can all have different dads, but you all look the fucking same.
Tilly:got 'em. Strong genes. Oh, bless you. Bless you.
Dan 1:it's that Jewish maternal line, isn't it Zoe? passes down the maternal line. Absolutely. There's a reason for that. Strong
Tilly:Yeah!
Dan 1:Yeah, them strong Jewish genes.
Tilly:Um, what else has happened didn't end up working, going into the office to work this week. I had to work from home because she was feeling a bit grisly. I didn't want to leave her with So mum still came over to look after her, but I was sort of there to give Um, and then, yesterday you had your last sort of lot of, last lot of jabs that she's got until she's bless you, bless you, bless you.
Dan 1:long? Yeah, no
Tilly:Yeah, no more nuts Unless I guess we went to a country where yeah, that's it now. So you're all done you're stabbed up until you're one Yeah
Dan 1:Yeah, pincushion baby.
Tilly:Um, she's a good girl she had a little bit of a cry and she's grand But she's got she had a bit of a temperature yesterday. So we had some cow pole which sorted you out
Dan 1:out. Oh, playing with the mic. Don't you want to, little girl? Leave it
Tilly:Yeah. I didn't see the old girl. Are you alone? I
Dan 1:I was very impressed by in one morning.
Tilly:one morning. No. I
Dan 1:living room and
Tilly:just didn't get sort of further than that I mean upstairs I'm less bothered by it, it doesn't get as dirty. But I do need to Um, so yeah. Thrilling week for everyone to We've got your mum's dog staying with us.
Dan 1:us. Yep.
Tilly:So we've got old boy Kobe and he's looking really old bless rickety and Um, and Fanny's just playing a bit rough with
Dan 1:really, he hasn't, he's not a mix of dogs to play with. When he played with dogs he was a puppy. And he hasn't really played with many dogs since. And so I think he just gets really excited. So while he's well socialised and he's when he gets excited he just knows one way to play. doesn't really work for all dogs. And so one, like, one part of socialising is actually teaching them to play different ways if you can. really ever get to
Tilly:we had to because he had his brother, didn't we, I suppose. Um, whereas now, Um, But yeah, It was nice having Mum and Pops over on Thursday, which was lovely. It was nice to spend time with Mum's always very sweet, telling me how good parents we to hear. and Mum? Mum's like, I'm so proud of the parents that you are. Aww. Thought we had quite an easy time of it really. I don't know how much of that is just her and how much of that is the way we've parented her. It's always hard to know, isn't
Dan 1:The old nature debate.
Tilly:feel like she was born fairly chill, which maybe again was how pregnant I Who knows? How
Dan 1:pregnant I was?
Tilly:I was, yeah. I was
Dan 1:Oh, till the exact right amount
Tilly:her. No, but obviously like the, the environment, Of what a baby's gestation is really important. It's like when you're talking to your mate, wasn't it, the one who's fostered?
Dan 1:baby, And
Tilly:baby, middle of that training course. It's like you're in a womb, and they sort of play scenarios out of what it's like to be a baby, if like, say, the woman's being abused or whatever it is, or in a violent And how much that affects the baby. Which we were sort of fairly aware of because we were all Boyd Deepak.
Dan 1:Yeah, the Deepak
Tilly:Don't want to be under an airplane flight path.
Dan 1:moved out of Out of our flat, and then you were conceived afterwards, because when we were in the park, that was under a flight
Tilly:that's the reason you mistress's
Dan 1:flight path.
Tilly:Um.
Dan 1:So just, drop that reference and I'll explain. The idea is that there's an increase in the, the, the noises create, um, Your stress hormone, and then that channels through to the baby. So something as simple as that
Tilly:I was thinking about this week, Um, I'm gonna pass Bubba to you so I can have my Um, is that, When I go to these classes with her, like we did, we also did Rhyme Time on Wednesday and that sort of stuff. Um, It's nice to meet parents, but so much of the time I just don't find them particularly I guess it's like, it's like in life, I don't find that many people I meet, I might like them, but I don't necessarily want to be I think both of us are quite fussy when it comes to our friends, we're sort of, people who want loads of friends, we want a good, like, just a small selection of really good friends. and I've not really met many that I'm sort of like, yeah, do you know what, I want to be your friend. I'm sort of like, yeah, I'd go for a cup of coffee with Not many But, none I'm like Because, you know if you've ever had that, as soon as you've made a new friend, you almost get a crush on them for a little while. You almost get like a little bit obsessive. A little bit like, Oh my god, they're so great. They're so cool. I love them. Oh my god, we connect so much. And it is almost like the start of a relationship. Well, it is it's very similar to the start of a romantic relationship. You get a sort of like, flutter. And you're like, Oh! No, they like me. I like them too. Oh! Um, Definitely not heard that out of anyone. But then it, I think that was, it would be nice to have, sort of, parent
Dan 1:Yeah.
Tilly:I don't want people to be friends with us just because, I don't want to be friends with people just because they're parents. But it would be nice to have people who are going through it as well. Because like, we've got Harry and Gabe, but they're in Scotland. And we've got Lou and Luke, they're in Scotland. Um, there's no one around us currently. haven't banned binos. Other than like, my sisters. Yeah. Annabelle and Hayden. but like when we saw Leah and Ed today, that was nice. I mean, Ed's son's older, he's five. Yeah. But he does understand parenting. So it's nice like, you know, when we meet Yafi, he's like, Oh yeah, do you want me to It's like, there isn't that same, oh she's going to be I've been through it already. And I don't think our friends would mind. Most of them love seeing her, but it's just different, isn't
Dan 1:Yeah, of got to always keep a certain amount of space in to be aware of what's going on with But always kind of like term mental load is the element of kind of worry and
Tilly:So that was, that's nice of like, yeah. So we're going to try and see them more, Because they literally live up our road. They're so close. I guess we'll just, I guess we'll slowly build that area of our life. And also more of our friends will become parents.
Dan 1:friends. parents. There
Tilly:one guy I saw actually, I saw at Rhyme There was a dad there, there was one dad there with his, he had a really cute little boy. His boy was a bit older, his boy I would say was like, tottering around probably about two, Maybe quite two, but around that Um, and he was there because his mother in law was like, She works at the museum and stuff. So he was really friendly. So maybe if I see him again next week,
Dan 1:Maybe if again next That you are trying to make friends with, if you the normal conversion percentage, as it were, of normal people exceptionally low. you're trying to think about increase that. is far And so as time goes on, you're going to meet more as you you want bitty?.
Tilly:To Come to snotty little nose. You're going to get snot on my boobie again, aren't you? you? get lots of apps now, don't you? For like, like peanut and stuff.
Dan 1:You should try it, a go.
Tilly:don't feel a need to find friends
Dan 1:I mean you just said you want to build friends
Tilly:No I do, but I don't feel, I'm not, it's not like a desperate need, I just think it's nice to have. don't, I don't feel like I'm lacking. What I have frustrating this week, is obviously I'm starting to go to more groups with her. Which is lovely. But so many of them just don't seem dad friendly. really pisses me off. I get some environments you want to keep mums for maybe like, safeguarding reasons. Fine. most of the time it should be like, it should be dad friendly because otherwise you're just, you're encouraging everything to be on the mum and you're not encouraging any support for the father. Like why wouldn't a dad want to take his kids to yoga or rhyme time or sensory or any of these it's spurting milk bubba, quickly.
Dan 1:said there was a
Tilly:no, you can't. I'm just I'm still just naming classes. and everything, everything that's always referred to as just other than parent and I was like, well, one of my classes, we didn't even have a parent. It was, it was a nanny weirder than a dad and a baby.
Dan 1:Yeah, that's you would, like, I, I would think a male nanny to admit to than a dad. don't know why I feel I'm like, if you're calling it a female I guess it's the element of like, how motivated are you to be there just for the kid, And obviously Mum and Dad, it's the same level.
Tilly:Yeah.
Dan 1:fun evading the light streaming through straight into your eyes.
Tilly:Um, the place where I do, Oh, that's a nice on my boobie, thank you. Um, the place where I do the baby yoga, they do also do baby massage there, but it's actually at the same baby yoga.
Dan 1:then, because I'm not
Tilly:allowed to do baby yoga. Yeah. banned from
Dan 1:Because I'm banned from Baby Yoga because I'm deemed
Tilly:pervert.
Dan 1:So
Tilly:go to But yeah, you can go to a I feel like you'll like that as well, because that'd be nice and Because I feel like some of you might find the baby sensory a bit
Dan 1:overstimulating too sensory
Tilly:me Well it's not mental, but like it is a lot of
Dan 1:kids
Tilly:Yeah, I mean I find it a bit cringy as well, the little sing Because you know all those sort of pre recorded nursery rhymes and songs you get, all in that sort of like
Dan 1:of like high bit much. versus our trap nursery rhymes
Tilly:Yeah.
Dan 1:like to listen to trap nursery rhymes with Lil Zoe. B voices, which I don't really associate as something that like a baby sings along to,
Tilly:I mean? No, but it is, it is much easy to listen to Um, like a lot of the, the kids' music is just so like, shrill. i'm plinky and
Dan 1:But that's the thing, so I'll listen I've heard it a few times, I'll sing along with it, and then she engages. So I think it kind of works. Whereas I don't feel like I could leave her with it, because I don't think it engages her. Whereas that shrill noise, I think is engaging
Tilly:of course it is
Dan 1:if it's like me singing, that's engaging enough. But there's obviously a, a start up time while I try and learn what the words are to, to the Wheels on the bus, Trap
Tilly:you start going into rhyme time. There's loads of And everyone sings 'em slightly differently. Yeah, nothing massively interesting to talk So do you have your highs, lows, and
Dan 1:week has been Probably, probably some of the mornings, I think Wednesday or Thursday morning was pretty hard Because, I've been away, well, I've been in the And, I going into work Um just find, obviously we've set up a lot of our life and our routine around go in that much. I definitely wouldn't have lived this far away if Um, because three hours on the train every day is wank. means also because the days were like hours long, maybe and a So it just kind of basically get home. Eat dinner and then we just
Tilly:have to go straight to bed much.
Dan 1:I'll spend time with baby and you And then in the morning, you wanted to go that means like it's 6 in the morning. You're straight out the house I'm looking after her for sort of an hour and a
Tilly:her for sort of an hour and a half. Yeah,
Dan 1:nice. Yeah, that was then we'd, and then I'd have to shoot So it just didn't really feel like we got think on like Wednesday, Thursday, through Wednesday, I was kind of really
Tilly:a bit you? a bit fed up with it?
Dan 1:you a bit I was a Yeah, baby girl. Oh, sick.
Tilly:Hi, my lovelies. Thank you for listening. Can you please like review and subscribe to our podcast? Fluids this week. a, it's a bodily lots of evacuations. Um,
Dan 1:Um, and let's see, what's high then? Oh, yeah. I think I've enjoyed this morning really, just kind of possum around until I got too hungry.
Tilly:Yeah, spending time together, isn't it?
Dan 1:that was nice.
Tilly:I think it's, when you're younger, you always think the best time's gonna be like, is amazing. Really That high intense, and those, those times are lovely. Like going for a party, you're going to some cool adventure. Those are lovely, but actually there's a real beauty and things like, like you said a while ago, you enjoyed that day when we went to like Costco and the Morrisons.
Dan 1:That's the weird thing, I think that's the biggest differentiator about becoming a parent. Oh my gosh, do it, or do you ever find, because they're like, oh I won't be able to just fuck off and go do this Really um, spontaneous thing or whatever. kind of, I quite like
Tilly:Yeah, there is, there is joy in that. I think it's, there's different joys, isn't Yeah. It's like, you get type 1 and type 2 fun.
Dan 1:it's more like a calmness, you know, everything's just kind of chill. Versus kind of, and I think that's kind of the difference is Do you just want happiness or do you want joy, And I think like. A late the elation those are really exciting like high adrenaline. But they're always short lived anyway, like no matter what be it partying a hobby like mountain climbing skiing Mountain biking never gonna be like something the whole time. You're like Other than I guess if you just spend four hours on your bike riding yeah, because I still definitely enjoy those
Tilly:things. Yeah, I do. I think it's a different kind of joy. But there's a real when you're spending time together, it's like, it's safe, and it's warm, and it's loving, and there's like a, there's a real sort of like, glow, I mean, like your feet feel that sort of like warm glow.
Dan 1:a little sort of like, glow, you know like, sort like, warm glow. I'm Zoe. Not just I think that's my high, because that is, like, that is the perfect It didn't last very long, did it Zoe? Because you were like, fuck this, I've I want out of
Tilly:But
Dan 1:but yeah.
Tilly:looking forward to
Dan 1:Yeah, I'm it. Um, so that was my high, and it is that contentment peaceful, right? it's strange that, because You've just kind of got this urge for busyness when That means that, I don't know if you kind of experience I still have that urge for busyness. Like, I can't, I find it very hard to just sit and be calm and enjoy myself that when I'm doing it with you guys,
Tilly:I no, I still have that urge to like do things and, and sometimes I can find that a real struggle when I'm with Sarah all day because obviously you just don't get as much done as you
Dan 1:get done. Yeah, it's so
Tilly:That's just the stage you're at, and that's fine. We'll get back to being productive at a later stage. And, you know, I think it's also important to try and remember that there's a beauty in taking your
Dan 1:doing everything rather than trying to do many things acceptably.
Tilly:But like, you know, we had a speed, you know, quite a slow morning went for a dog walk Then we had a set just sit down had some nice little snuggle we potted over to the museum and walked around there Then we had a sit down and it's just Nothing any of that has been over like
Dan 1:there was spontaneity to it. Like our friends and spent
Tilly:We spent like
Dan 1:we spend? Like half an hour, 45 at least with it wasn't something like, oh my gosh, Zoe needs to go home. We can't do this, blah, blah. You know? And so like, yeah, I didn't suddenly bump into them, be like, let's go for a fucking SES I didn't really I've always like. Calendared fun, as
Tilly:Well, we both love planning and routine. and structure.
Dan 1:structure. So I forgot to tell you this, actually. Because we were doing, The training course was all about, um, Part of it was about separation companies. Like when you merge two
Tilly:together,
Dan 1:the process And, um, for the integration training. I'm actually technically married to the gay guy on my training course, so. so. That's pretty big
Tilly:committed bigamy,
Dan 1:Yeah. so he's actually moving into the spare room, um, and gonna we split our time. That's it doesn't matter. But yeah, it was quite funny because, like, talking to him, I, I, I knew straight I've heard him before, kind of in the office. Sort of talking how much he kind of goes out at weekends and stuff like that. And then even, like, on the Monday when I sort of, when we're all introducing ourselves, he's like, well, I'm tired because I've been, weekend. I didn't go to bed till, like, four in the morning. No, three in the morning on the Monday. Was
Tilly:yeah, absolutely. Yeah, exactly, out till
Dan 1:exactly. Out till, like, three in the morning on the
Tilly:even on Saturday, if I'm out till three in
Dan 1:even on Saturday if I'm Even on Tuesday I'm probably
Tilly:Tuesday, I'm probably gonna feel it.
Dan 1:I can do a heavy night on the Saturday, but I know Monday's gonna pay. But I can't do a heavy night on the Sunday. And so, of our first discussions.
Tilly:if
Dan 1:That was one of discussions of our, um, how we're gonna integrate our lives. The idea being that that's synonymous with just smashing two just suddenly be it crazy same age and he's like, you know, I go, you know, I go out almost every night of the weekend
Tilly:Must be expensive, obvious in London. And
Dan 1:up on my sleep on the Monday and Tuesday and yeah.
Tilly:I've never liked doing that.
Dan 1:No. at uni, I don't think I I couldn't do, like, real late more than two nights on the trot. Like, I found that I would only do it, like, if we went away me and some friends went away or went and visited someone for, to go see another uni friend have a limited time. So I'm fucking sprinting. I'm gonna like, burn myself out. And then I'm gonna sleep when I get back for like a week. And, that's the only time I've Like usually, like freshers week, I still wouldn't manage to do three heavy nights in a row. I'd probably do two heavy nights, one, you know, night in the pub. And then, and end up in bed before midnight.
Tilly:also, the other
Dan 1:But also the other factor is I'm gonna remember that much of it. So is it really that great? Do you know what I mean? Like?
Tilly:I try I'm not
Dan 1:I try that. I'm not always
Tilly:at it,
Dan 1:And also, I'm often trying to do it for quite a long time. Like, when I go kind of drinking starting at like like, two, three in the afternoon
Tilly:Oh yeah, if you
Dan 1:even earlier and then the plan is that everyone's going to disperse by like, keeps going and you're trying to keep that level the whole time but you'll, you either end up being because you get sober or you just end up starting to flag so you start drinking more to try and give yourself that sort of alcohol energy and then you get too drunk and you're like, this is fucked, I'm not enjoying
Tilly:I also have an issue because my body has a real strong thing of like, when I've had too much, body's like, you don't drink
Dan 1:As in like, you vomited? No,
Tilly:No, it's just like, my body will be like, if you drink more
Dan 1:just don't end
Tilly:can't? So like, I'll get to a point and I'll be like, I can't have any more drinks now. If I do drink it, I just know if I drink any more I
Dan 1:years and I didn't know you had
Tilly:And I'll try having a drink and I can feel it again. And I'll be like, I never used to have that. no, no, I've not had that much to drink post pregnancy, I wouldn't know. I'll test that at Erin's birthday. It's going to be our first night out together. Mum is having a go, isn't she? I will definitely be shagging that night.
Dan 1:sharing
Tilly:A hundred percent. Um, I'm going to be spending the day with Erin beforehand. So you're going to stay during the day in the dropper at cool. And then, mwah mwah And then, we're going to stay at Erin's at night.
Dan 1:Oh, nice.
Tilly:Shag.
Dan 1:get
Tilly:I want to get a couple of shags You want to give them a Mother's Day fuck on the Sunday. But I'm sorry Aaron, I'm shagging bed. Well,
Dan 1:You're
Tilly:because we they've been born. then we'll go over to my mum's, we'll first Mother's Day. Yep.
Dan 1:You can see your mum on Mother's Day, but hey mum,
Tilly:for looking after Zo. She'll be like, oh thank god. I was worried. I remember when we were trying to conceive going to mum's and she was like, We're just going to go out for, you know, half an hour or so.
Dan 1:go up for,
Tilly:You're going to have the house to yourself. And I was like,
Dan 1:was like, alright mum. Yeah, it's
Tilly:Subtle! My family aren't known for their subtlety.
Dan 1:Which is good 'cause my bluntness, between us, fun. your family can sometimes find things a bit too abrupt, an odd one.
Tilly:Well, subtle,
Dan 1:not subtle, but not blunt. They're not subtle, but not direct. Whereas I can be
Tilly:Yes, Did you say you're funny? No. Yes? No.
