Dan 1:

Okay, so, what week are we on,

Tilly:

We are week 17, four months, four week, so yeah, 17. I don't know anymore. One,

Dan 1:

So we've had a little baby girl who um, was, She had a bit of a, she didn't have a great last few hours. She's eventually fallen asleep, which shows you know, she's now all open just as we hit the record button. So we're trying to avoid eye contact, so she falls back to sleep. Um,

Tilly:

that boat might have sailed. Ship sailed? Oh, it ship sailed. Um, but maybe her little toys are for entertainment now. If not, I've got a press on.

Dan 1:

She's yawning. She might, she might go. You never know. So,

Tilly:

We live in hope. Our feet aren't looking purple, so that's a bonus.

Dan 1:

so

Tilly:

I was going

Dan 1:

Have any food to

Tilly:

to say, our food is nothing. Air.

Dan 1:

Yeah,

Tilly:

I've eaten today. I had a yoghurt.

Dan 1:

I mean I've eaten, I've had like a yoghurt drink and then some chocolate, uh, peanuts.

Tilly:

had a cup of chocolate milk too. Or I had two, I had two coffees. Two collagen

Dan 1:

Whoa!

Tilly:

like an absolute wanker. I wonder if the collagen naps helps my stretch marks at all. Who knows. Um, yeah, I had two collagen cookies before, before, pre workout, post workout a little protein yoghurt, all about the protein, ruined it with our Sunday lunch. No time. Well, I know my husband well, I've gone leek and sausage pie, made the filling yesterday, browned off some nice peppery sausages, put down the leeks in butter, made a creamy mustard sauce. Let that thicken up and cool down overnight, and I've also made a massive pan of cheesy mashed potatoes, and we're going to do a rice crispy crunchy topping,

Dan 1:

I'm looking forward to the Rice Krispie Crunch

Tilly:

and then we'll have some peas with it. But if you're doing pie and mashed peas, there's vegetables, yeah, peas or cabbage maybe, but

Dan 1:

I

Tilly:

haven't got

Dan 1:

sweetcorn's not bad. But

Tilly:

Not with that, I don't know, it just feels

Dan 1:

peas and sweetcorn go well together. Yeah, okay.

Tilly:

you want it, I've got tinned sweetcorn, you

Dan 1:

Just on my own. Yeah,

Tilly:

I do like, I'll eat sweetcorn out of the sweetcorn taste better than others. Like, if you get the green giant, it tastes different than the sweetcorn. I do to it. I'd eat that out pudding from last weekend. That chocolate pie. Mmm, this is like my ice cream pie now. Um, so we've got like, buttery biscuit base. Chocolate Rice Krispies, Salted Caramel, Chocolate Mousse, Choccy Ganache. Do you know

Dan 1:

Fat Dinners and Fat Sundays

Tilly:

might start doing a segment called Fat Dinners or Fat Sundays or something. And just do like, do a little post of like, what we have every Sunday. Because we don't be pretty healthy throughout the week, we don't be absolutely have a,

Dan 1:

You're fairly

Tilly:

I'm healthy, I'm healthy, I try and make you healthy, you're fairly healthy.

Dan 1:

addicted, But that's just the way nutrition

Tilly:

Sugar Addiction. Which apparently isn't addictive. People say sugar's addictive, but like, the nutritionists are like, it's not addictive.

Dan 1:

I just

Tilly:

like syrup skis.

Dan 1:

can't kick it?

Tilly:

Um, I think it's like anything, it's a habit, isn't it? It's like, it's a crutch. It's your dad tax.

Dan 1:

my dad taxed for if I ever do anything, any housework or anything. Is

Tilly:

try and kill off fucking rats.

Dan 1:

it's just one.

Tilly:

I

Dan 1:

They end up being, but they, they

Tilly:

mean, let's hope it's one. It's done a lot of damage if it's just one.

Dan 1:

same time. Yeah,

Tilly:

It's like, Norwood's over the back of our sink. Ate the sink pipe.

Dan 1:

that's what I'm worried about, is that it's trying to find It's gnawing through pipes for it to try and get water to drink.

Tilly:

And we wanted to do it humanely. We tried the humane traps. We tried the little plug in,

Dan 1:

dying now.

Tilly:

plug in like, E. P. things, which is meant to just generally do work,

Dan 1:

but Yeah, but I'm waging war on this rat. I'm very close to just sticky sheets.

Tilly:

Not, I can't.

Dan 1:

It's a fucking cunt.

Tilly:

Sticky sheets are so

Dan 1:

really hate this rat.

Tilly:

I know, it is horrible. Um, last night was grim, like, Dan was out last night, so I was upstairs with Bubba, and I woke up in the middle of the night and I could hear this, like, scratching, gnawing noise. I was like, either someone's trying to get into our house, I wasn't fully awake, so I wasn't fully, like, Um, or that fucking rat is So I called Dan up because I wasn't sure if he was home yet or someone was trying to get in. Turns out he was, he was upstairs in his spare room. he went downstairs to find it. So it sort of, I don't know, scare it off. And then as soon as you're back upstairs

Dan 1:

Yeah, I even, uh, unleashed Fatty to try and

Tilly:

I think you're right, from now on, we don't, if we don't lock Fatty in the living room, Fatty has to all roam

Dan 1:

Yeah, well, then the other problem is, like, we're trying to poison the rat, obviously. We want him to go and find the poison and eat it, and if that is, you know, roaming around, Yeah,

Tilly:

and asks if Pops can come round tomorrow. Obviously he never, he never looks at the message. So in a minute I would message Mum and ask Mum to ask Pops. Um, so I want him to come help me while I do tining and see if he can kill a rat.

Dan 1:

I mean, I can just lift the

Tilly:

used to try and shoot rats in the old house.

Dan 1:

Yeah, I don't think that's

Tilly:

Didn't. He just shot at the garage a couple of times. Well, I hope he gets abused. I'm sure he absolutely I'm sure he probably

Dan 1:

can just use the air rifle.

Tilly:

remember damage though. We made quite a lot

Dan 1:

air rifle. But anyway, I don't think you could do it in our house anyway. Also, I could get the floorboard up where I know the rat is.

Tilly:

I would like it not to die, but I think now it has to die.

Dan 1:

don't like it because you can

Tilly:

I would like it to have just been caught in one of Taking it far away.

Dan 1:

I don't know why, but rats, I

Tilly:

People really hate rats, don't they? But they do a lot of damage. I don't generally have an issue with rats. But, this one's done a lot of

Dan 1:

Well that's the thing, mice don't actually do that much damage usually.

Tilly:

Yeah, they just tend to eat your food. They don't tend to actually destroy stuff like

Dan 1:

rats will go through walls,

Tilly:

rats do a

Dan 1:

that's the problem. Mice kind of are usually, it's like a bit of wood here and there. reptiles in it. and also I, once again, had squirrels so I'm effectively kept a rodent.

Tilly:

Lots of rodents. People have like rabbits and stuff. Rabbits are rodents. had a gerbil called Jack. It's a fancy boy called Yeah, I don't know why I said that. The real name's a bit weird, isn't it? Um, it was my boyfriend. He's fancy.

Dan 1:

boyfriend. No, that's

Tilly:

Um, and Jack used to eat everything. He ate his plastic running quite soon after. No, it's not that

Dan 1:

surprising to me. I

Tilly:

a gerbil or have something like that because I mean, okay, they're probably gonna have a dog.

Dan 1:

we could do with was. I thought we needed to he killed the

Tilly:

is becoming quite the prolific killer now, isn't he, Greg? Yeah, he's killed a lot of birds and mice. I know. I'm sure he could take one

Dan 1:

could if the rat was about. The

Tilly:

he wouldn't catch it. He's not fast enough.

Dan 1:

and the other thing is he'll destroy a lot of stuff trying to get to it.

Tilly:

Yeah. Cats are more dexterous and dainty. Mm

Dan 1:

And, patient hunters.

Tilly:

hmm.

Dan 1:

Fatty is just a chaser.

Tilly:

Should we just get a cat? Next episode, we've got a cat.

Dan 1:

This is exactly like the nursery rhyme. The woman who ate a fly. Alright, go on, you sing the whole nursery rhyme then, from the top of your head. Come on.

Tilly:

it's quite long. Although the woman I listened to the other day had a really weird cadence to it. I don't think

Dan 1:

that I remember. That's what I was singing.

Tilly:

was, but okay. But that one was really weird, it really put an emphasis on the fact she'll die. Perhaps she'll die!

Dan 1:

The woman who ate a fly, perhaps she'll die. like, all

Tilly:

that's where I'm stuck. Um, anyway that's probably enough of us talking about our rat issue. What's happened this week?

Dan 1:

at work.

Tilly:

I did. Yeah, I felt more guilty this week. Not guilty, actually. No, not as in guilt. I didn't feel guilty. I just missed her more this week. I don't but I did. Um, yeah. I think it's because you're hot. Also full. Maybe that's what's missing, I don't know. I'm a long legged, kind of, filled up my tits quitter. I don't know how it works.

Dan 1:

Did you?

Tilly:

No. Well, she doesn't seem to like my expressed milk. Obviously, that's something we've learned this week. to start selling my milk to bodybuilders. So, any bodybuilders listening to this, get in touch. I've got loads of milk for you. loads of frozen milk full of growth hormone and you can still be called a nasty bodybuilder. Um, yeah, so we need to find somewhere. I still haven't found anywhere. I need this, where is this black market where there's not any proper like roided up bodybuilders at gym I go

Dan 1:

Yeah.

Tilly:

There's one guy who's got like, it is like, he looks like a meme of somebody's leg day. smallest legs and the largest, it's also a good has a very long body and short legs in a way. really not helped. That's what it's like. Is incredibly wide now, like, freely built chest, shoulders, back, like, big, very tapered waist. buckle legs, and they're really short legs, so it just looks bizarre. Like, it I think he should topple over. I the

Dan 1:

Yeah, he's the biggest guy in the gym.

Tilly:

biggest guy, but he's definitely one of the biggest

Dan 1:

With his triangular, that hero shape.

Tilly:

We've also got a lot of, like, young lads who are just starting out and doing really wonderful stuff, possibly, you know, like,

Dan 1:

Give them the breast milk.

Tilly:

start becoming, and I could just, like, oh, I put the laugh in. I could help people bulk up. I my talents are, bulking people up.

Dan 1:

Your first full day at work, you were saying. much longer are you planning on doing when you go back? Because how long was it, the again another almost half day really do at the premises, but you might need to, you DV.

Tilly:

boobs are leaking. Alright, Bubba. Anything exciting with your week this week, darling?

Dan 1:

Um, no, not that I, not that I can think of, of things. No, I didn't feel guilty at all. No, I was just questioning. I was asking if I was

Tilly:

I didn't feel guilty, I just missed her. I

Dan 1:

sometimes. I'm

Tilly:

I should be here. I just missed him, obviously, when I was out, sort of, but, the last bit, I did not and stuff then. Not enjoy being at work, I did. But I sort of was longing to be back with her. Um, so that's going to be interesting when I start doing more work. But I guess I'm still going to be working from home. easier. So imagine when I'm back from work, and we're once you've had your share of breaks, when you get back from work, you might feel

Dan 1:

Yeah.

Tilly:

Yes, we've talked more again about how to try and balance our work life going forward.

Dan 1:

Yeah.

Tilly:

condense or not to condense is the question.

Dan 1:

Yeah. And I'm finding it frustrating because the industry that I want to work in isn't exactly the progressive in terms of projects and stuff like that. It's not exactly known, Family first.

Tilly:

It's important to try and figure out, try our work, because I think it's the best way somebody that's in our family. of us, you know, went about the years that we were in contact with, except maybe over the next five, six years, we as much as we want to. But, we, you know, certify a really strong foundation around the we can get want to see. We've built that strong foundation, they've built that, they've got very secure attachments, for them. Um, do need to work more, we've got that of, um, security. And you know what,

Dan 1:

Yeah. and it's very much kind of fighting that urge, because

Tilly:

that's still young.

Dan 1:

I mean, it's not that young in my industry, for the level of,

Tilly:

in general, you've still got a lot left in if you're not built, yeah, you're constantly your peers, so what, they might be lacking in other areas.

Dan 1:

I get that. Like, it's this whole thing of, comparisons to people of joy, and then this element of Everyone's, you know, when you think about all the variables in people's lives, everyone's very different when you then combine them, everyone's actually unique when you kind of think about, you know, all these sorts of things, and you combine all those factors of the things that are important to you, there are, there's no one on this earth that is Two, two of the same people. Even twins, you know, while I may share a lot of physical elements, there's a lot of other elements that are incredibly different. And, so, you can't just look and go, oh, you know, they started at the same time as I did. But I am just saying that it would be a long way behind versus, you know, had I just sort of grinded it out for over the last sort of three years and continued to over the next three

Tilly:

And also remind me that we need to move into areas where we can progress still,

Dan 1:

No, I think that it just goes back to this element. I think, realistically, you're quite far ahead in your career for your age. Whereas I feel the opposite. I feel behind in my career for my age. And so the idea of slowing it down, uh, has been quite a lot. And while I grew with it principally, distracts me.

Tilly:

No, I don't said I'm far ahead of my career in my age, and yeah, in some aspects

Dan 1:

usually the youngest person in the room by about 10 years. Um,

Tilly:

Um, but that's also because in my industry, I'm struggling to get young people. That's quite a stagnant industry.

Dan 1:

person in

Tilly:

So I think that's a as well. It's just that I'm an amazing person, so I just progress

Dan 1:

of my skills and my

Tilly:

I have. I think that's partially to do with my skill, my ambition, and partly to do with the fact that I'm an amazing person. My issue

Dan 1:

but I also think that for you, you being young, part of benefit and skill, because your industry, you know, chefing and cooking, is a very habitual thing that people tend to kind of be like, I was taught this way 20 years ago, that's still the way I'm going to do it. And it's like, well, now we need to start thinking about responsible sourcing of food, now we need to start thinking about carbon emissions, now we need to start thinking about dietary requirements. And all these people who have been taught 20 years ago just kind of go, I don't want to. And so I think for you that's been a great benefit. Yeah. Yeah, so I think for me the issue is, is less so about the idea of slowing down my career and more so the issue of, Already feeling behind. Do you want Low's Funnies, or do you have anything else to talk about? You go first while I'm finding my normal phone.

Tilly:

Was it Monday night?

Dan 1:

Um, yeah I think so.

Tilly:

I think so. Um, and basically, this was when we discovered that my breast milk doesn't keep. So some women's breast milk doesn't keep because it's still so we, I defrosted a bag of

Dan 1:

Well we think, so far we think

Tilly:

given her my frozen breast milk and

Dan 1:

So I'm therefore validating the fact that it wasn't that I hadn't burped her as my low for last week where she just kept being sick.

Tilly:

been intimidated.

Dan 1:

Yup. Um,

Tilly:

so yeah, and so on both times she's been really sick after. So this was my load this week. So it was like a double load because one, in the moment, you know, we'd fed her, put her to sleep, and suddenly she was like, spluttering and being sick. And I'm like, oh god. You know, sat her up, gave the back, you know, screened. Well, just to keep her up, off. She then sick down my back, so I then had to take my top off. So I was then topless, because we were both we got cleaned up, sat on the back got her back to sleep, and then like, what, five minutes later, I was in her bed,

Dan 1:

Yeah and she gets really sick off it, doesn't

Tilly:

and this was like, through the nose, out the mouth,

Dan 1:

such force that's

Tilly:

such force, it went down through her nappy.

Dan 1:

Yeah.

Tilly:

Um, so then, the rest of the night, because I was scared to lie her back down again, I just let her, uh, lie down her on me, so she was just laying flat down. Um, and so that was a very tiresome night. And then I felt You know, worried, and then when I realised that my breast milk, it was about guilty and bad. Even though I know there's nothing I can do about it, feel bad. I might regret it,

Dan 1:

I wonder if there is any, any sort of stabilizer that you

Tilly:

it in a bit. Um,

Dan 1:

but

Tilly:

yeah. yeah, so then I felt guilty as well, so I felt worried for her, sad that she'd be sick. It's obviously not really nice for her to be sick. No, I

Dan 1:

I think she She's feeling Right, think about all the times

Tilly:

great place after the blood scoop. Of course she's scotched, Um, yeah, and then I was tired. So that was definitely smug. I'd already found out my low for this week. I was like, chick. Um, so yes. What's your low I'm going to say that now. Um, she slips out of the chair.

Dan 1:

Milo this week. So what was it that you said to me this morning about the bouncer?

Tilly:

down there like,

Dan 1:

When we were talking about the difference between the seat thing and the You were saying, the great thing about the bouncer is that if you're just doing something quick, you don't actually have to strap her So I had her on the floor, and it was Thursday morning, you had gone to the gym, or you'd left for work, and I was there trying to empty the bath. And then I just suddenly heard a thud, and a WAAAHH! And I spin around, and she's, she's done her like, kicking with her legs, and just kicked herself out, and then just flopped onto the floor. Fortunately, it was on the floor, so it's not very far to fall. But she was then incredibly

Tilly:

See, every, is that even?

Dan 1:

Like you, you've done it as well though, like you said.

Tilly:

No I've not, I said she's

Dan 1:

No, but you said you don't always fasten her in. so that's what I did.

Tilly:

only time I don't bathe her in is when she's sat in

Dan 1:

She was literally behind me, I was just emptying the bathtub. I was emptying the bath to try and give her a bath

Tilly:

having a go, it can happen to us

Dan 1:

and so I felt incredibly guilty and she was there crying and crying but she's very quick to say once she realizes that she's, you know, everything's all right which is great. Like I was like, oh fuck this is going to be like 45 minutes and then within like a few minutes she's like, oh. Not even that, within a minute she's like, oh, okay, everything's alright again. Yeah, when I just heard the thud, then spun round to see her face down on the floor, I was like, oh my gosh, she's smiling at me now! smiling at me now!

Tilly:

Okay. Yeah.

Dan 1:

Yeah. And I was just like, oh fuck, I'm just trying to run you above. Because she was already a bit touchy. Cause she, so basically I put her in the balance of screaming, and I was like, I need two hands this You're gonna have to just cry for a few minutes while I get all the shit out of the bath after it rains. And fill your bath, and then we can put you in and we can chill you out and calm you down while I'm a nice bath. And then, THUD! And I was like, oh, fuck! But now you're alright! alright, aren't you? Yeah, smiley girl! Yeah, you

Tilly:

It's fucking irritating. It was a good sniff. I

Dan 1:

I mean, I've, I've started to come round a bit more. If somebody's sending me something that is an empathetic voice note, it's nicer. Like, if somebody's sending me something that's, yeah, Baker, if somebody's sending me something about something emotional, it's nice because you can actually hear tone, you can feel the emotions in someone's voice. If someone's just sending me something in general, like, I don't know, they're just out on a walk and they decide that they're just going to record their voice instead of just sending me a message, that annoys me. Whereas if it's like, you know, you told somebody something about you're having a rough day because of this or because of that, then it actually takes time to actually. speak it to you. You can tell that they're actually emotionally engaged, whereas you can kind of fob people off the message.

Tilly:

anyway, so I think you've already heard of me giving her a tip on how to properly which is very cute, and so we've got some people who like,

Dan 1:

Yeah,

Tilly:

because they haven't done it before. They all little raspy bone on their neck, you know, um, so that's good. I yeah, that's my hair. What's yours?

Dan 1:

um, Mai Hai. Oh, sick. Well, that's exciting. Fortunately, she was, uh, just sick over the child benefit form that I still need to submit. that's a good reminder. Thank you. Yeah, good reminder. Just sick straight over the child benefit form. So, uh, Mai Hai. That's the one that I'm short of. But I think, I'm pretty happy to find out that, um, one of my friends from school is moving nearby and Baby daughter in a few months time. So that's quite fun. moves in. Maybe we'll actually go to their house this time, unlike friends that move around the corner. And we did go and see them, even though they're just around the corner. Life's busy. Isn't it, baby girl? Life's busy. Yeah, I think sometimes in this podcast, our tone and pitch and cadence will just randomly change because need to be engaged and smile. So we might be talking about something that's really negative, and we'll be smiling away because she's smiling at us, hey? Smiling away. So that just, again, adds to the listener experience.

Tilly:

absolutely,

Dan 1:

Along with the adjustable volume because mummy keeps moving away from the

Tilly:

I'm feeding or, um, okay I'm a now I'm a fidgety,

Dan 1:

fidgeting.

Tilly:

trying, might pass. I, when I notice, I correct now. What's the noises? Um, okay, what funny? Oh, my funny first.

Dan 1:

You're funny, Buzz.

Tilly:

So, my funny this week is Oh, I can't think of one. Can I think of one? I'll week or last week.

Dan 1:

blonde woman. Uh, well,

Tilly:

was just post recording last week. Who knows? I really enjoyed when we were all sat on the sofa just speaking fancy in the face. In because I don't know where he is. Um, all that's left to say is we're watching some probably trashy action, knowing us. And she was just sat on me and she was there just doing a little booting in his face. And he could not give a lesson of shit. She was having a great time, booting him in the face. And thank god he's so passive. Oh, another high this week. some lucky moments. I think their bond is growing now. This morning and the other day, he'll come close And she reaches for

Dan 1:

Oh. That's nice it, baby girl?

Tilly:

baby kind of

Dan 1:

Um, my funny, I think it is again, just after recording, we um, I think, did you go to the gym after recording? So it's just me and her there, and I was trying to do some editing or something, or you might have been doing some food prep sort of thing. And. cozy. I had her sat in like a nook in the sofa, all set up and cozy. She was asleep for about 15 20 minutes, and then just did her thing. Hey, yeah, you! Yeah, you, baby girl! She did her thing where she just Wakes up screaming, and then just fell back to sleep. Like, I'm talking 80 90 out of scream sort of a normal

Tilly:

she gets really irate, like, the way she's like, how dare I wake up.

Dan 1:

But then just goes straight back to sleep. Did this a few times, didn't you? Yeah, he did. A bit longer each time, and then you suddenly just let out a load of farts, a load of farts, and then you fell back to sleep, didn't you? You were just really gassy in your sleep, and then farted loads. Go back to

Tilly:

She's got eyes this morning, actually. We're lying next to each other. She's taken to really starfishing in bed as well. She's just spreading out completely.

Dan 1:

our bed. Yeah Yeah, because we're so

Tilly:

Um, she's getting better. Like I said, she's settling now. That's what I'm

Dan 1:

sleep training wise this something that's quite a long topic So I won't go into all of it But there are three main methods if you want to kind of keep the bond quite strong in terms of you can either do like this Weird kind of camping out y. You can do like, you can do like this Thurber kind of thing whereby you, you let them cry for very small periods of time, then keep coming back to see them and try and diminishing the amount, increasing the amount of time and making sure, listening to the cry and being attentive to whether it's a proper cry or, or it's one of the ones where she just goes, Wah, Wah. Sometimes you do that, don't you? Sometimes you like to bake fry. Um, and then, the, another one is called like, I can't remember all three, but another one is called like camping out. Which is effectively what you do is, you put the baby in their bed, yeah, you put you in your bed, and then you sleep somewhere that's next to them. And then you slowly move further and further away, until the point they are, until you're both in different rooms effectively. And so, We're, our transition has started even further away than that, isn't it? She was at the point where she would just fall asleep while feeding on your boob, and then you'd take her off. So now you're trying to have her fall asleep off your boob, and then once she's, once you're good at that, baby girl, yeah, you're pretty smiley right now, once you're good at that, we're gonna try and get you starting to fall asleep in your next knee, which is currently attached to our bed, so you'll still be in physical contact with us. And then we'll detach the next to me and put the little blind thing up so you can see us but you might not be able to feel us. And we'll slowly start moving the next to me out of the room.

Tilly:

another lovely high from last night's sleeping. It was really sweet. So because it was just me and her and Ben last night, we

Dan 1:

Yeah.

Tilly:

room. So I put her down next to me. She was sleeping on her side. Um, and I was sort of on my side facing her. And then my cheek. I know it wasn't deliberate. But

Dan 1:

Yeah, so let's see. So, quick roundup then. My high is the fact that I'm going to have another daddy friend in Reading. Your high is multiple. You've got the on cheek, you've got the voice notes. My funny is farting yourself awake. Well, screaming and screaming and then farting and then being alright. And your dribbling low. Have you still Then, what was your funny? Yeah? Was it, was it the fatty laughs, or was that your, I don't know, one of your highs?

Tilly:

Um, you listen to it, you guys know my house.

Dan 1:

And then, uh, my low was the bathroom floor thud when you kicked yourself out of your little bouncer. And then your low was,

Tilly:

realised is that she can't have my breast milk when it's been frozen. So I've now got like, a drawer full of bags of breast milk. That's actually useless. Even if, I guess if the worst comes to worst, and we can't sell it and she can't drink it, we'll just keep it for bath times. Skiddle your papa. If she gets past it,

Dan 1:

Or we can save money on dog food.

Tilly:

Your papa. Skatcha! So

Dan 1:

So, have you had any scout chats this week? Yeah. Did you do any playouts

Tilly:

a little bit of poop that came out and I was like, it's not worth me changing a whole baby bro for like a little slither of poop. So then that's probably not great parenting, but that's real parenting,

Dan 1:

To the gym. And I was actually meant to be having an interview with my friend who, um, is also due to become a dad soon. So I wanted to do a little interview to add to the podcast. And just before you went to the gym, you were like, Oh, I think she's just in a poo. It's a wet one, but I don't think she's finished. I was like, okay, well, I won't change her yet. They pick you up, we start going up to, then my friend calls, and he's like, oh, you ready to go? And I was like, yeah, just one minute. Tried to obviously set it up, and it transpires that you can't just record somebody over the phone because they're worried about you, or privacy issues, or just randomly recording conversations. So, there I was struggling with all the text while you were kicking off because you had loads of diarrhea in your nappy. And then eventually I kind of just packed it in, changed your nappy, and I was like, okay, that's fine. It was full. It was sloppy and full. And then changed you. And then, 10 15 minutes later, AGAIN! But the problem was, because you had been so feisty about the first one, I hadn't sealed the second nappy on properly. I thought I'd get away with that, because she doesn't really do two poos in a row. Usually it's like, oh, it's a piss, it's fine. And so you then kicked off again, and you had poo all down your side. Shit, there's some poo in the bouncer as well.

Tilly:

It's like boo water.

Dan 1:

Yeah, because you've started diarrhoea ing now, haven't you, with your teething.

Tilly:

Teething. I found something on Instagram about like, the teething stages. I think she's at stage number one, possibly. That's like swollen gums.

Dan 1:

Okay.

Tilly:

Stage number two is when she becomes

Dan 1:

Aggie. You're gonna become Aggie for us, are you?

Tilly:

Once they've broken through, she's alright. Yeah, she's Or she could stay at this long time. I don't really know. My just wait and

Dan 1:

we got Nylabones from the dogs left over. I'll just give you some Nylabones. yeah. gonna like, gum shields. Put little gum shields in for the feeling. So yeah, you had a big poo explosion. And, so, another sloppy one. And I had to change baby crow. you were very tired by the time mommy came back. Because you had done lots of Shits and screams and you're just like I'm done with this. I'm exhausted. Okay, so here's one about potty training, which we've got coming up. We'll do two on potty training. So, this is from Jenny Y on mum. com. One of mine, who shall remain nameless, had a really hard time potty training, especially pooping. Ugh. He was a hider, and there was a rule in pre k where he went when kids had to be potty trained. He would constantly hide behind the train table in the playroom to poop. And his teacher knew what he was up to every time he went back there. I always felt terrible when I would go to pick him up in the afternoon and saw a plastic bag out in the hallway. Whenever I saw that bag, I knew he had pooped in his pants in the playroom. His teacher just adored him though, so she put up with it. I was mortified. Imagine that, just a little. People struggle so hard to teach their dogs not to do that. Kid Poo, he's so frustrating. Okay, worried about the wrong thing. This is Jane Kay. Again, on mom. com, we potty trained V, the old three day method. Lock yourselves in the house for three days, sort of, with no pants, and then slowly make your way out into the world with underpants on for short periods of time. Our first outing was an early dinner at an Italian restaurant nearby. Yeah.

Tilly:

park, there's shit in a park

Dan 1:

Yeah. So, our first outing was an early dinner at an Italian restaurant nearby. We were so worried she might have an accident and asked her every two seconds if she had to pee. Nope. Nope. She did totally fine. No accident. Except But while eating a piece of calamari, her gag reflex got the better of her, and she threw up all over the table. Sadly, she has done this many times in her life. It was just funny because that hadn't even occurred to us. We were so worried about the potty accident possibility. Oh, there you go. Yeah, we've got, we'll go for one more. Jill K, mum of two, the party pooper. We were hosting an outdoor party when my daughter suddenly yelled loud enough for everyone to hear, I have to go! I have to go! And proceeded to pull her dress down over her head and pee in the middle of the lawn. Thankfully, the concept of privacy eventually caught on.

Tilly:

I rate that. In fact, if any of our friends kids did that, I would rate it. I wouldn't even be annoyed if the kids pissed on my lawn.

Dan 1:

I'll do that, look, fair enough, she announced it, I blame the parents for not having the potty ready.

Tilly:

be annoyed if they pooed on the lawn, I'd be like, Ah,

Dan 1:

Yeah, I mean, our lawn gets put on by the dog and we just pick it up.

Tilly:

sisters love waiting outside. I remember when I was staying with them after lockdown for a bit, looking outside and Chloe just squatting in the lawn, just watching me as she waits. Like I'm an adult,

Dan 1:

sure she's going to be very glad that that's made

Tilly:

I don't think she'd mind.

Dan 1:

And on that one we'll say ciao,

Tilly:

bye. Bye,

Dan 1:

bye, adios,

Tilly:
