3

:

Very exciting.

4

:

We're also going to be covering feeding

challenges, adjusting to the work home

5

:

routines, physical and emotional strains

that just life of parents, I suppose.

6

:

7

:

Dan 1: okay, episode 25.

8

:

Tilly: 25.

9

:

Mmm.

10

Oh,

11

:

12

:

13

:

14

Dan 1: of

15

:

Tilly: Yesterday.

16

:

Two No.

17

:

Dan 1: No, yeah,

18

:

Tilly: yesterday.

19

:

Eleven minutes past two in the morning.

20

:

Dan 1: She's currently

feeding she's a bit hyper.

21

:

We keep trying to tire her

out, but she's not having it.

22

:

She's decided, uh,

23

:

Tilly: sleep when you

were having Lyon today.

24

:

And then she slept for an hour

on the way, on the way to the

25

:

National Trust and on the way back.

26

:

Oh, she keeps

27

:

tugging on my nipple today.

28

:

Like, she's always done a bit of

tugging, but she's now really like,

29

:

she proper clamps down, like, Mmm,

30

:

and like,

31

:

Dan 1: and roll.

32

:

Tilly: and sort of like, stretches

33

:

it.

34

:

And it's just like, oh, pretty sharp

35

:

pain.

36

:

Right, can we just, let's see.

37

:

Come on, sleepy, sleepy time.

38

:

I'll do some rocking like a crazy person.

39

:

Alright, so might be a little bit

patchy, Yeah a very patchy episode

40

:

we're trying to do it quickly.

41

:

Why are try to do it quickly?

42

:

Because itate and we've got a

macaroni and cheese in the oven.

43

:

Yeah, it's already half six.

44

:

It's late for us.

45

:

And we've

46

:

got haggis mac and cheese.

47

:

which is what your request was

for Sunday lunch this weekend.

48

:

Any of your faves?

49

:

Dan 1: Yep.

50

:

Tilly: And then you've got

51

:

caramel peanut pudding,

52

:

definitely.

53

:

more yours than mine I

think, because it's very

54

:

Dan 1: So talk to me about the Mac cheese.

55

:

Tilly: So,

56

:

creamy creamy macaroni

cheese, classic, you know.

57

:

But I went for a rogue new

ingredient, I've put some

58

:

processed cheese in this time.

59

:

Because it in American, it's

60

:

meant to improve the texture, because it

never really gets hard like a regular.

61

:

cheese would when it sets up.

62

:

So it should stay like a creamier texture.

63

:

Dan 1: text.

64

:

Tilly: Because of the good

processed nature of So we'll see.

65

:

And then on top.

66

:

delicious haggis.

67

:

Which goes really nice

and crisp in the oven,

68

:

doesn't it?

69

:

It's really nice.

70

:

And a little crumble of,

because we had some left over,

71

:

They're very nice though.

72

:

Because normally I don't

like flavoured crisps.

73

:

I'm quite boring.

74

:

I like really salted.

75

:

Dan 1: I don't

76

:

Tilly: Because I don't know if there's

any sort of sweetness in them, but

77

:

these are, those are completely

savory, which is why I quite like them.

78

:

Dan 1: As Mate said about his

partner, the most white girl thing,

79

:

she doesn't like flavoured crisps.

80

:

Tilly: crisps.

81

:

She

82

:

doesn't

83

:

Dan 1: white girl thing.

84

:

But her partner doesn't

like flavoured crisps.

85

:

Because I went round to his,

and he had those, you know

86

:

those Doritos lightly salted.

87

:

And I was like, what the fuck

88

:

Tilly: but actual Doritos?

89

:

Just buy basic tortilla

90

:

Dan 1: I get that, but anyway,

what's the point of them?

91

:

Doesn't, they are so lightly salted, it's

92

:

Tilly: Yeah, I like it heavily salted.

93

:

That's what I want.

94

:

I want a heavily salted tortilla chip.

95

:

That's what I

96

:

want.

97

:

Because then it's for dipping.

98

:

I do like a plain crisp, or a chip,

if we have an American audience,

99

:

like we have that viewing audience.

100

:

Yeah, but anyway, you think I'm

weird for liking really salty

101

:

crisps the most, but there we go.

102

:

Dan 1: think it's weird that

that's your main flavour, I feel

103

:

Tilly: don't really,

104

:

Dan 1: like vanilla with

105

:

Tilly: I'm just not a

crisp person, darling.

106

:

I'm not really a crispy person.

107

:

But I love salt, so if I'm I'm salty.

108

:

So I don't mind other

109

:

flavours, They're A little

bit sweet, there's a lot of

110

:

sweet edges and I'm like,

I've got no time for that.

111

:

It's completely savoury,

I'm all up for it.

112

:

it's like a cheese flavour, I quite

113

:

Dan 1: You don't like.

114

:

cheese and onion that much.

115

:

Tilly: No, because they put sugar in it.

116

:

Dan 1: it.

117

:

Sour cream and onion?

118

:

Tilly: put sugar in it.

119

:

I like all these.

120

:

but if they put sugar in them,

I'm like, ugh, I can taste It

121

:

Dan 1: Just try the

bouncer thing straight off

122

:

Yeah, she

123

:

Tilly: is not having it,

can you grab her from me.

124

:

Yeah,

125

:

Dan 1: at you bounce!

126

:

Okay, so we're back on.

127

:

We've moved the baby girl to one

of those springy door things.

128

:

I know you're not really meant

to use them, but here we are.

129

:

Here we are, eh?

130

:

Tilly: If she gets hip

dysplasia, be like, I can

131

:

get to hydrotherapy.

132

:

Dan 1: are we finished discussing

the mac and cheese and the food?

133

:

Tilly: can talk you through

the caramel pudding if you

134

:

Dan 1: Oh yeah, talk to us about

the leaky tit on the loose.

135

:

Tilly: a, just a touch of dribble.

136

:

That's fine.

137

:

So you've got these little caramel peanut

cookies, which are a bit kind of like a

138

:

Florentine.

139

:

Yeah, so they're a crunchy

caramel peanut cookie, and then

140

:

I made it like a sort of mousse

141

:

with peanut butter, caramel, cream, and I

142

:

just layered them up.

143

:

kind of a winner for you, really.

144

:

Mm hmm.

145

:

Dan 1: do love that.

146

:

Um,

147

:

Tilly: be a good one for you.

148

:

Um, whatever you don't the freezer.

149

:

Ooh, frozen dessert.

150

:

A moment so you don't eat it all.

151

:

Okay,

152

:

Dan 1: been your second week off.

153

:

Yeah, and getting into rhythm.

154

:

Most definitely.

155

:

Tilly: this week has been

your second week off.

156

:

second week full week, I guess.

157

:

First full week at work.

158

:

Yeah.

159

:

I think we're still getting to the rhythm.

160

:

Most

161

:

Dan 1: definitely

162

:

Tilly: maybe this week is the

week where we find our rhythm.

163

:

We can hope.

164

:

I think I found it more

of a struggle this week.

165

:

Dan 1: I definitely did, yeah.

166

:

Tilly: Just

167

:

feeling like we're trying to balance

everything, Felt a lot harder this

168

:

week, I think.

169

:

I don't know, yeah, I think

because my work is quite busy.

170

:

I've got A lot of projects that are

coming to an end and starting, and

171

:

stuff, so it's just quite a lot of work.

172

:

And So I'm struggling

to finish like on time.

173

:

Dan 1: Yeah.

174

:

Tilly: Which then it bleeds into

our evenings, which means that I've

175

:

not been as much of a support to

you in the evenings as I want to be.

176

:

Or I've not been able to do the

things at the gym that I want to do.

177

:

Dan 1: do.

178

:

Yeah.

179

:

Tilly: So therefore like, yeah, my

self care the care of, My care of

180

:

looking after You I don't know if I

181

:

said that in English, but you know what

182

:

I

183

:

Dan 1: care.

184

:

Hasn't

185

:

Tilly: My couple care.

186

:

Hasn't been good either.

187

:

Which I think hasn't added which has added

to the fact that you have felt Okay, It's

188

:

been a massive change for you, isn't it?

189

:

Dan 1: you've gone

190

:

Tilly: Because you've gone from

someone who sort of does work, and then

191

:

because combination of me being off.

192

:

and also me breastfeeding, And I'm someone

who normally does the housework and away.

193

:

and cooking to suddenly

194

:

So actually, you weren't actually

having to do much other than work.

195

:

I'm not saying, I'm

196

:

not

197

:

Dan 1: I'm not disagreeing.

198

:

Um, but you know, being doing work,

199

:

Tilly: like you've gone from, yeah,

being doing work, and then very little.

200

:

housework.

201

:

never having to cook.

202

:

Having to look after Bubs

probably max an hour, most days.

203

:

Maybe an hour and a half.

204

:

Dan 1: having to look after the

205

:

Tilly: Weekends, absolutely

more, but on a weekday.

206

:

So then suddenly you're

having to look after her.

207

:

You know, for the majority of the time.

208

:

Dan 1: the majority of the day, and I'm

doing most of the sort of daily cleaning,

209

:

Tilly: you're doing dinner

which is very new for you.

210

:

Dan 1: And that's where I really

struggle in those evenings.

211

:

Where by your work bleeds later because

it's then, well, when am I making dinner?

212

:

You still working?

213

:

Tilly: Yeah.

214

:

So this week I'm gonna be, I'm gonna

try and be much firmer with this.

215

:

might start setting myself an alarm

half an hour before I want to finish.

216

:

So I can start sort of,

start curtailing my day.

217

:

Because I think if I suddenly realise, oh

218

:

Shit.

219

:

It's five to four.

220

:

I want to try and finish by four.

221

:

Dan 1: Yeah.

222

:

Tilly: But I'm still like, in

a part of the project where I

223

:

can't really just stop right now.

224

:

So, Then, obviously, then I go, Okay,

well now I am, like, bleeding, like, sort

225

:

of winding down.

226

:

But by the time I finish

it's half or quarter to five.

227

:

Dan 1: project.

228

:

Yeah.

229

:

What's up, baby

230

:

Tilly: And

231

:

then we're getting into

sort of dinner time.

232

:

, and she's, and she gets

tetchy at that time of day.

233

:

So

234

:

that's when

235

:

Dan 1: case now.

236

:

So, she tends

237

:

Tilly: time, as is right now.

238

:

So she tends to want me because she

wants a few feeds and then for a sleep.

239

:

Dan 1: Do you her on the boob one

240

:

Tilly: Is this going to

work, or do we just stop it?

241

:

Yeah sure, let's try it

one more time, it's fine.

242

:

Dan 1: Ok, let's see how

long this lasts then.

243

:

As she yanks at tit.

244

:

Tilly: Yeah.

245

:

But Yeah, so this week I definitely

want to be better at finishing on

246

:

time, both So I can help out more,

like, help support you more in the

247

:

evenings, because obviously that's when,

obviously you've had a full day, but at

248

:

that point you're kind of like, done,

249

:

which is absolutely Fair enough.

250

:

She's tetchy.

251

:

And obviously like I would like, to,

maybe this isn't working, I would like

252

:

to get my sort of workouts in as well.

253

:

So yeah, that's sort of what I'm

254

:

going to try and do this week.

255

:

Dan 1: I mean that's going to be

problematic anyway because of the way

256

:

it's scheduled in terms of like you say,

you're, I'm going to finish a full day

257

:

of it and she's going to be in touch

with it where she wants breastfeeding but

258

:

you're going to want to go to the gym.

259

:

I mean how's that going to work anyway?

260

:

Tilly: I guess I'll just go

back to the gym in the mornings.

261

:

Dan 1: Or go to the gym

once she's gone to bed.

262

:

I went

263

:

Tilly: I won't sleep though.

264

:

I'm not really

265

:

gonna

266

:

Dan 1: going to the gym at 8.

267

:

Tilly: No, I

268

:

Dan 1: you said previously.

269

:

You were like, oh, I

quite like going at 8.

270

:

I

271

:

Tilly: I do not want to

have to be like, sleeping,

272

:

in good times.

273

:

That moment is important

because our sleep is disrupted.

274

:

I wasn't going to bed till ten, maybe so.

275

:

Ooh!

276

:

She's real tuggy.

277

:

So yeah,

278

:

I guess it's like, wherever

you like, do I do it?

279

:

First thing in the

280

:

morning.

281

:

or try and do it at the day.

282

:

Who knows?

283

:

Try and figure that out this week.

284

:

And then you need to

try and get your stuff

285

:

in as well this week, don't you?

286

:

No,

287

:

Dan 1: Yeah, I'm just trying to work

out whenever I start talking about it.

288

:

We can cut it off and then talk

about my week and start again.

289

:

Tilly: Yeah, she's not settling

290

:

Dan 1: Okay,

291

:

Tilly: was actually quite

292

:

Dan 1: We are off ski for take

two, the following day, Okay, so

293

:

i talked about how my week went

and how i want to make it better.

294

:

Your turn.

295

:

Yeah, well, I guess we were

discussing kind of how our last

296

:

week was actually quite hard and

how it didn't kind of go as planned.

297

:

I think, yeah, it definitely felt

like quite a struggle last week.

298

:

Because I guess this is take two,

because we've had to do it the

299

:

following day, so it's now Monday,

so I'm referring to it as last week.

300

:

Because on the Sunday, I'd

done loads and loads of DIY.

301

:

Tilly: DIY.

302

:

Dan 1: Well not loads of DIY,

but I was gardening, cutting down

303

:

trees and

304

:

Tilly: of gardening coming down

305

:

Dan 1: Sorry, was it?

306

:

Oh, well, either way.

307

:

So I was pretty pooped, physically,

pretty knackered, and then she, on Monday,

308

:

really kind of demanded quite a lot of

attention, and so I was like, I'll walk

309

:

her around loads, carry her about, and

didn't really think about, like, the toll

310

:

that would take on my already tired body.

311

:

Tilly: So

312

:

Dan 1: So kind of by Tuesday,

I was a bit like, Pretty,

313

:

Tilly: already.

314

:

Pretty tired

315

:

Dan 1: pretty done in already on Tuesday.

316

:

Tilly: And

317

:

Dan 1: then yeah, Wednesday it

was all right, came back around on

318

:

Tilly: Wednesday.

319

:

We were in my office on Wednesday,

320

:

weren't we?

321

:

Dan 1: she was actually really

well behaved in the office.

322

:

We'll get to that in a bit.

323

:

And then on Thursday, Yvonne was around

and she didn't really sleep very well.

324

:

She was a bit, she didn't

have her afternoon sleep.

325

:

Story of the, story of the season really.

326

:

And Yeah, the rest of the time it

was alright, but it was, it, it did,

327

:

it did just feel like quite a lot,

328

:

Tilly: but it was a big step up.

329

:

Dan 1: Yeah, so, you know, like you say.

330

:

Tilly: say, I don't,

331

:

Dan 1: I won't lie, I don't

really do that much around there.

332

:

Every so often I do the dishwasher

and, well, I, I meant to do all the

333

:

dishwashers and I do most of the

dishwashers, but that's about it.

334

:

Okay, fine.

335

:

Equal dishwashers?

336

:

Tilly: say, yeah.

337

:

Okay,

338

:

Dan 1: Okay, well now, up until, I

definitely have done more, most of them

339

:

Tilly: Yeah.

340

:

Dan 1: And so it's, it's quite an

adjustment because it's kind of, like you

341

:

say, I didn't really ever, I have that

much time where I'd just look after her.

342

:

It would only be on the odd occasion

when you'd be going and doing

343

:

something, or whatever, where I'd have

extended periods looking after her.

344

:

And so I'm, I'm struggling with the

fact that she, me and her haven't

345

:

quite got into a routine and got to

some sort of balance that we know.

346

:

And so, Well, my friend came around

on, on the Saturday and was like,

347

:

came around for French toast.

348

:

I was, I'm incredibly grateful that

you did it and I really loved it,

349

:

but if you could tell I was really

wanting to get the fuck out of the

350

:

house by the end of, after we'd had it.

351

:

Cause I was just like, spent

my whole fucking week here.

352

:

I don't want to be here anymore.

353

:

I just want to be out of the

house doing something else.

354

:

And, so I was just pulling him

out of the house, and he was like,

355

:

Let me see your birthday, and

I was like, Fuck, I don't care.

356

:

Tilly: I that

357

:

Dan 1: enough, I wanna go!

358

:

Tilly: I

359

:

Dan 1: And I just got a bit stir

crazy with it all, because it is

360

:

incredibly, like, isolating, in

terms of, you just kind of, wake up,

361

:

pander to your baby all day, go to bed.

362

:

And then kind of rinse and repeat and

the only person I see really is you and

363

:

I don't mean that in a bad way But like

when I'm working I have interaction at

364

:

least with other people other than you

365

:

Tilly: Yeah.

366

:

Dan 1: otherwise it kind of just feels

like I spend a lot of time just Kind of

367

:

having to be like what should be next?

368

:

What should be next?

369

:

What should be next?

370

:

quite exhausting and doesn't really,

not really I don't know, stimulating,

371

:

or, I don't know, it doesn't really

create any connection, as it were.

372

:

You, you don't, that, that sort of social

element isn't ticked, that makes sense.

373

:

Tilly: it

374

:

Dan 1: And, I'm not really,

and blokes just don't get it

375

:

at all, like, he said, he went,

376

:

Oh, so, you know, what have you

been doing with your time off?

377

:

You've been hitting the gym,

you've been, and I'm like,

378

:

mate, you just don't understand.

379

:

It's not, it's not, it's not time off.

380

:

It's like, from, from when you start

work at, like, seven, till when you

381

:

finish work, you just kind of end up

being like, what should I do next?

382

:

What do I do now?

383

:

What do I do?

384

:

And I know, and I know that you

completely get it, because you

385

:

obviously did it, but it's just kind

of, People just always have, and

386

:

I think blokes more, because women

387

:

are a bit more clued up in general.

388

:

Probably

389

:

Tilly: not many men tend

to do what you're doing.

390

:

So actually most men, will just be doing

what you were doing previously, whereas

391

:

actually, you know, you're actually like

time there involved is like the sole

392

:

person, there's very little actually.

393

:

Dan 1: Yeah, and so, yeah,

like, people ask me kind of,

394

:

what am I doing my time off?

395

:

And I'm like, mate, I don't get

that much time where I can be

396

:

like, This is what I'm good at.

397

:

I'm, I'm trying so hard to build

in some sort of sleep routine

398

:

so I can have pockets around the

place to just do minimal things.

399

:

But yeah, it's not.

400

:

So there's always this kind of

expectation of you've just kind of

401

:

got time off and that's not really,

it's not really how it works.

402

:

Yeah, Tilly's looking because

we've got the baby on the

403

:

monitor and she might be staring.

404

:

Tilly: be staring.

405

:

She looks pretty, pretty awake.

406

:

And she

407

:

Dan 1: We're to pause and return.

408

:

Tilly: duvet sneaking that mum is there.

409

:

She's really thrashing.

410

:

I think we're going to come

411

:

I guess

412

:

Dan 1: Yeah.

413

:

So I guess to round up before we

move on to the next bit is I think

414

:

the bit that I struggled a bit with,

and I struggled with today as well.

415

:

Is that I kind of wake up in the

middle of the morning and I gear

416

:

myself up in the morning to kind of

try and stimulate her in the morning.

417

:

Come back of lunch and then her have

a nap and then it comes to lunch time

418

:

and she just doesn't want to sleep.

419

:

And then she's then just tetchy all

afternoon and I'm also just kind of a bit

420

:

dumb of it because I'm like, I've kind

of tried to stimulate you all morning

421

:

with the hope that you sleep and she's

like, I don't really want to sleep.

422

:

But she's tired.

423

:

So she's in a tetchy in my kind

of like, yeah, over it phase.

424

:

Tilly: Also,

425

:

Dan 1: And so all I think is like just 17

and a half more years and she's at uni.

426

:

Yeah,

427

:

Tilly: I also think, as part of you, I

think your temperament in a way, you're

428

:

someone who quite quickly I don't know

if it's sort of done with things, or you

429

:

can at least, you can quite quickly, or

like, maybe not quickly, but once you're

430

:

done with something, you're done with it.

431

:

Dan 1: I'm trying to be

a lot better at that.

432

:

Tilly: and then you, I think

often you can quite easily slip

433

:

into sort of resentfulness.

434

:

Dan 1: wouldn't say

resentful, uh, like currently.

435

:

I get what you mean,

but I wouldn't say that.

436

:

Tilly: I can see, like sort of the way

you're getting, like, in the evenings

437

:

and things, you're just like, I think,

how do I describe it, how do I best

438

:

word it, I'm not trying not to offend

you, because I'm not worried I don't

439

:

think you're obviously offended,

but yeah, no, I like that sort of

440

:

Dan 1: It's almost like you

shouldn't record a podcast 15

441

:

minutes before you go to bed.

442

:

Tilly: You're someone, and this is

just in general, but this is obviously

443

:

exemplified when you're tired and you

have been doing a lot of stuff, but

444

:

if you think someone is just like,

445

:

things aren't quite fair, or

you've done a bit too much, or,

446

:

Dan 1: I have to tell

myself to get in my lane.

447

:

Tilly: Then yeah, you kind of forget a

bit like, why would I have to do this, you

448

:

know.

449

:

Um,

450

:

Dan 1: Yeah.

451

:

I have to tell my ego to shut the fuck up.

452

:

Tilly: think that's what's

going to be hard for you.

453

:

Because obviously you've actually gone

most of our relationship, with arrived

454

:

and, I've looked after you quite a lot.

455

:

Dan 1: Yeah.

456

:

Tilly: You've felt pretty good,

457

:

Dan 1: Yeah.

458

:

Tilly: you know, cooked your food,

done the housework, washing, just

459

:

generally quite cared for you.

460

:

Because that's the, that's just,

that's the, that's the thing.

461

:

part of my character, not saying

this because any flaw of yours and

462

:

so I think that's, it's a massive

adjustment to someone who's putting

463

:

on sort of, not like weight on you,

but like, you're fairly doted upon.

464

:

Definitely

465

:

Dan 1: department.

466

:

It's not that I can't do these things.

467

:

Like I used to do them for me,

but I haven't had to do long time.

468

:

And so no, it's Yeah, that's the hard

469

:

Tilly: And, you're having to do

them to, Closer to my standards

470

:

rather than your standards.

471

:

Dan 1: It's like,

472

:

Tilly: Because you'd have

to be living in a mess

473

:

for quite a long time.

474

:

Dan 1: I'd like cleaner

services once a month.

475

:

Tilly: I'd be like,

476

:

Dan 1: You're like, I want

them sprayed every day.

477

:

I'm like, spray?

478

:

What the fuck is spray?

479

:

They're just gonna throw water around

and whip a cloth about the place.

480

:

Tilly: I don't even mind you doing that.

481

:

But you still need to leave

the sides really soggy.

482

:

Like if we did it in a way

that sort of dried it up.

483

:

I honestly, I'm not, I'm not that

GM of a paper that I would mind.

484

:

As long as it looks clean, I'm like, fine.

485

:

I don't really care about the germs.

486

:

but I just go in there and there's like

dripping surfaces, and you're like,

487

:

Dan 1: it'll evaporate, it's fine.

488

:

Tilly: UK, not Africa.

489

:

Dan 1: Uh,

490

:

so another factor actually I was

491

:

Tilly: trying to

492

:

Dan 1: to settle her to go to sleep

normal now, so we're recording

493

:

this now, sans bebe, which is rare,

usually with a baby attached to us.

494

:

And so she's currently trying to sleep

downstairs and so our intermission

495

:

was trying to get her back to sleep.

496

:

Tilly: she's Because we've co

slept with her until now, really.

497

:

Like, she's been

498

:

Dan 1: But we still can't go to sleep.

499

:

Tilly: No, no, we do,

that's what I'm saying.

500

:

Like.

501

:

Like, we have been trying to

like, we have been transitioning

502

:

her more into the next to me.

503

:

So she'll often spend like, the first half

of the night in the next to me, and then

504

:

the second half's a bit of touch and go.

505

:

Dan 1: Yeah.

506

:

Tilly: Whereas now we're sort of,

we'd always go to bed together.

507

:

So she might be the next to me,

but we'd all go up together,

508

:

to go to bed together, go To

509

:

Dan 1: To bed a tha.

510

:

To bed a tha.

511

:

To bed a

512

:

bed a

513

:

Tilly: said it too many times now.

514

:

Dan 1: Bed together.

515

:

Tilly: Thank you.

516

:

Whereas now we're putting her down, and

then we're having like, we're attempting

517

:

to have a bit of evening to ourselves.

518

:

Basically it's, you know, it's very

broken up because we keep having to get

519

:

up and put, re putting her down, but.

520

:

Sign that process and then tomorrow

you're buying her a mattress.

521

:

Pick her a mattress.

522

:

Dan 1: Yeah, we're just whacking

her straight into a cot bed.

523

:

We're not fanning about with all

the different There's like seven

524

:

different sizes that you can

Well, there's not, there's four.

525

:

Tilly: We just got the one

that my sister gave us,

526

:

Dan 1: mood.

527

:

Yeah, I know.

528

:

Yep, that's because it's a cot bed.

529

:

They stay in it till like three.

530

:

Well, some say four, but looking

at the length of Zoe, it's

531

:

Tilly: Pops it up.

532

:

It's fine.

533

:

She'll be kicked out

of her sibling anyway.

534

:

Dan 1: Yeah she's got that bed

up in the loft that she can have.

535

:

Tilly: is it actually

full bed or just part of

536

:

the bed?

537

:

I'm Well, if not a dad can build a ward.

538

:

So

539

:

Dan 1: So yeah, that's,

that's being nice though.

540

:

When, like, what tends to

happen, is we put her down.

541

:

Fifty minutes later she

kind of wakes up and cries.

542

:

You go back up, you settle her again, you

put her down, and then she's kind of down.

543

:

Tilly: Yeah,

544

:

Dan 1: So,

545

:

Tilly: and then she tends to disturb

once we go to bed, which makes me think

546

:

I'm over the past week I've realized

more and more that I think we're waking

547

:

her up more than I think she'd actually

sleep better without us once she was down

548

:

Dan 1: you'd still have

those two breaks, but yeah,

549

:

Tilly: Because I think like when

we go to bed, or you know, we're

550

:

rolling over or you're snoring or

551

:

Dan 1: yeah, I can't wait

to be able to snore again.

552

:

Tilly: I mean, I'm still there.

553

:

Dan 1: Ugh, get rid of you as well then.

554

:

Tilly: You can go sleep in the cot.

555

:

Me and Zoe will just stay in the bed.

556

:

Dan 1: bedroom house?

557

:

I've got my baby in one bedroom, me in

another bedroom, my wife in the other.

558

:

Tilly: Yep.

559

:

So I do think she will

actually sleep quite well.

560

:

Separate from us.

561

:

Like, once we get her better at

settling I think we should try putting

562

:

her in a little sleep sack again.

563

:

Dan 1: I don't know if, she might be too

long for it, but we can give it a go.

564

:

Tilly: Also, we might be able

to get a summer one soon.

565

:

Like, you know, the other

ones without the arms are just

566

:

like a little wife beater sleeping bag.

567

:

Dan 1: The dream.

568

:

Tilly: I think she'll

569

:

like that because she obviously likes

flailing her arms around quite a lot.

570

:

Dan 1: Yeah.

571

:

Tilly: She's quite a blailer.

572

:

Dan 1: But like, the whole

benefit is with their arms back

573

:

there, they the large benefits.

574

:

But you can get them when you zip on and

off the arms, so we can give that a go.

575

:

Tilly: Yeah.

576

:

But otherwise for

577

:

Dan 1: But otherwise anything else you

got to discuss for the week just go on.

578

:

Tilly: work, didn't we, on Wednesday?

579

:

Dan 1: yeah, yeah, so, I think,

I think in terms of highs, lows,

580

:

funnies, that was, that was my high.

581

:

I think it was very nice just to

be able to, she, she was absolutely

582

:

great the whole of Wednesday.

583

:

Yeah, I know, but I

don't know many people.

584

:

Tilly: To start, it's been like, driving

out to see your mum for a morning, or My

585

:

Dan 1: My mum's incredibly busy.

586

:

Tilly: I mean?

587

:

Like that sort of thing.

588

:

Dan 1: Speaking of which, Will's

mum did say, Oh, you can just

589

:

come round whenever you want.

590

:

So I'll just start going round to

591

:

Tilly: her, go see, go see Margaret.

592

:

Yeah.

593

:

Dan 1: Yeah?

594

:

I might just start doing that, yeah.

595

:

How come your car's clocked up so

much miles given that you're always

596

:

working from home most of the time?

597

:

Well, she's constantly on a baby tour.

598

:

Tilly: she's off

599

:

Dan 1: Going round to

other people's houses.

600

:

Tilly: You can go see her and Lil.

601

:

Jess is off on a Tuesday.

602

:

You can go see Jess on Tuesdays.

603

:

it's

604

:

Dan 1: A little tour.

605

:

A little solar tour every week.

606

:

Tilly: My dad's always free.

607

:

Yeah.

608

:

Dan 1: The solar circus.

609

:

Tilly: But it's quite a risk,

and my granny, you can just see

610

:

my dad and my granny in Rwanda.

611

:

Dan 1: yeah, so she was

actually really great there.

612

:

Do you have a high?

613

:

Um,

614

:

Tilly: yeah, I think

615

:

my high was on Saturday,

it was really nice weather.

616

:

And when you were out with Will

having some family free time.

617

:

Dan 1: so.

618

:

Tilly: Me and Zoe.

619

:

Had a nice time in the garden, sort of.

620

:

I was like, we're trying

to clear out our garden.

621

:

No, we're not really

doing it properly, are we?

622

:

We're just trying to make it more

usable, because currently it's

623

:

just been a bit of a wasteland.

624

:

Dan 1: Yeah.

625

:

Tilly: And we'd like Zoe to like,

you know, play around in the

626

:

grass and stuff in the summer.

627

:

So we're sort of on a quick mini

refurb, refresh of the garden.

628

:

And so I was pulling loads of weeds and

whatnot and clearing the edges down.

629

:

She just sat there in her

little sort of bouncer.

630

:

That was really sweet because she'd never

really, she's never felt grass before.

631

:

And so she just has, you know,

there's quite long grass.

632

:

And so she had her feet in it.

633

:

She's sort of swishing her

feet in it, hanging out.

634

:

And then sort of like, it's a

completely new sensation for her.

635

:

And then reaching down, trying

to grab the grass as well.

636

:

So that was really nice.

637

:

That's quite sweet.

638

:

She was having a whale of a time

in her little cute little sun hat.

639

:

And then, I bought a little rug,

so I sat on the rug next to her.

640

:

And I had a lolly while

she sucked on a carrot.

641

:

Yeah, it's just a nice little bit

of time in the sunshine outdoors.

642

:

She's always happy we're outdoors.

643

:

Dan 1: Yeah, way happier.

644

:

Hence why, hence why so far I

think my average steps has gone

645

:

up about 200 percent since looking

Because I'm just constantly

646

:

like, okay, fuck this, out we go.

647

:

Even though I didn't

648

:

Tilly: the week.

649

:

So your high was my, work

day, on the Saturday.

650

:

Yeah,

651

:

Dan 1: that much.

652

:

My happiness.

653

:

Tilly: I swear the woman

told me it was Wednesday.

654

:

Why?

655

:

Well, if someone told me, I'm not

going to bother looking it up as well.

656

:

I much.

657

:

I do care that you don't care for

my my my happiness that much I do

658

:

care about your happiness that much.

659

:

My 'hahhinesss'.

660

:

Dan 1: We'll just have to go

cinema and watch it together.

661

:

I I think it's already stopped showing.

662

:

I think it comes out in the sky anyway

in like four weeks, three weeks time.

663

:

I'll just make us some popcorn.

664

:

You'll be fucking making

more than that after that?

665

:

Spooky.

666

:

Yeah, and um, we

667

:

Tilly: think you finally got a pretty

nice breakfast and, slap up lunch.

668

:

Dan 1: our dessert, didn't we?

669

:

Tilly: Oh yeah, from the weekend.

670

:

Dan 1: Yeah.

671

:

Tilly: Yep, yep,

672

:

Dan 1: It was very tasty.

673

:

Very tasty.

674

:

The caramel peanut crunch.

675

:

And my My low, I think, was

that Monday that we discussed,

676

:

Tilly: Yeah,

677

:

Dan 1: when just being pretty, pretty

knackered and having to kind of,

678

:

Tilly: I think Saturday night

was quite low for you as well.

679

:

I felt like you were

pretty low Saturday night.

680

:

After

681

:

Dan 1: What, after all the gardening,

682

:

like a putz o'd,

683

:

Tilly: Yeah, you're pretty, yeah,

684

:

Dan 1: yeah, I was pretty

685

:

Tilly: pretty grumpy pants,

686

:

Dan 1: Yeah, a little bit.

687

:

Tilly: I was like, you weren't even,

you weren't awkward at all, you

688

:

were nice and jolly in the morning,

and you're still grumpy pants.

689

:

Dan 1: I didn't get to do all the

basketball that I wanted to do, well,

690

:

because there was so many fucking kids

who were like, oh, can I play with you?

691

:

Tilly: you went to posh one, you gotta

692

:

Dan 1: Yeah, I know.

693

:

Well, we haven't tried

out the Henley Court.

694

:

You can't just tell rich middle

class Henley kids, Fuck off, you

695

:

cunt, I wanna play basketball.

696

:

Especially when there's only one hoop.

697

:

Whereas here, there's

like, two to four hoops.

698

:

So you can just be like,

no, this is my one.

699

:

Whereas there's only one

hoop in the whole of Henley.

700

:

Tilly: even two, like one at each end of a

701

:

Dan 1: Nope.

702

:

There's just one hoop in the

middle of a fucking field.

703

:

Tilly: don't

704

:

Dan 1: It's nearly as Lambo one.

705

:

The only difference is there's

asphalt up to the hoop.

706

:

So the Lambo one is just fucking grass.

707

:

That's atrocious.

708

:

But the, but yeah, you miss it.

709

:

It rolls down the hill in the

field and you've got to like, chase

710

:

after your ball before it ends up

fucking in the Thames or some shit.

711

:

Surreal.

712

:

So I won't be playing there again.

713

:

Wasted time.

714

:

Yeah.

715

:

Yeah.

716

:

And don't forget the Rambo knife I found.

717

:

Yeah.

718

:

Tilly: broken chairs.

719

:

Dan 1: Broken chairs, yeah, yeah,

and beer bottles and glass, just

720

:

general, you know, remnants.

721

:

so yeah, I was a bit annoyed about that.

722

:

I was I wanted to play basketball

and do this stuff, and then it's

723

:

a really good plan, and then came

back, and I was, I was, I was more

724

:

in the mood to do our national trust.

725

:

But then I saw the time, and I was

like, there's no point driving an hour,

726

:

it being like the end of Easter, and

so it'd be rammed, because National

727

:

Tilly: be random discussions.

728

:

You'd think

729

:

Dan 1: you'd think we should have.

730

:

I just tend to find that if you don't

get there early, it seems to be full.

731

:

No?

732

:

Tilly: since we've had 11

733

:

Dan 1: Oh yeah, I guess, but it seems

to be kind of, 11 till 1 is the,

734

:

probably more like half 10 till.

735

:

Half two is the really busy time.

736

:

Yeah, yeah, I think in

hindsight you're right.

737

:

I just assumed it'd just be absolutely

packed, so I just couldn't be bothered

738

:

with screaming kids at the end of

Easter and parents just trying to

739

:

Tilly: mean there's never that

many kids at a National Trust.

740

:

Dan 1: I think Easter,

surely not, maybe not.

741

:

Tilly: No.

742

:

Dan 1: Anyway, so we did the National

Trust on Sunday instead and did all

743

:

the gardening on Saturday and I just

wasn't Yeah, I wasn't really ready

744

:

to do all the gardening, but I just

tried to crack on and do it anyway.

745

:

But then it meant that I was

pretty checked out by the evening.

746

:

Tilly: Mm hmm.

747

:

Dan 1: by the evening.

748

:

And,

749

:

Tilly: And then you asked me to

dinner because Pops was on me.

750

:

Dan 1: you were telling me

that the pork was gonna die.

751

:

Well, it was already dead.

752

:

That it was gonna go off.

753

:

Tilly: didn't.

754

:

I said, I said it is a day past its, a

day past its Elbow Day, which is true.

755

:

I thought it was meant

756

:

Dan 1: No, that's not true.

757

:

Tilly: was the 30th, Saturday the

758

:

Dan 1: No, I then told

you that after I cooked

759

:

Tilly: But I,

760

:

Dan 1: cooked it on the day of it,

761

:

side by day.

762

:

Tilly: before that, before you

said that, I was like, you could

763

:

put it in the freezer if you want,

you can't bother it, and you went,

764

:

no, no, I'm going to cook it.

765

:

Dan 1: Yeah, I'm glad I did.

766

:

It's really nice, I just didn't

fucking wanna kick it that evening.

767

:

Tilly: Okay, so it was on you, I

gave you a get out of jail free

768

:

card, and you chose still to do

769

:

So I ain't taking any

of your little bitching.

770

:

Dan 1: ha, ha.

771

:

Uh, Okay, Bye.

772

:

I'll just take my bitch and elsewhere.

773

:

Someone who's more receptive.

774

:

Tilly: Oh my god, it's past nine o'clock.

775

:

Dan 1: Yeah, well let's wrap this up.

776

:

Okay, what was your Do you have a low?

777

:

Have done your low?

778

:

Tilly: I think in general, I just worked

too long like I said earlier in the

779

:

evenings last week and so just generally

the collectiveness of just not feeling

780

:

like we had much evening and it was a bit

781

:

Dan 1: So my funny was on Friday.

782

:

This was You didn't, if you

remember, I took her out for a

783

:

bath after we did the weaning.

784

:

Tilly: And

785

:

Dan 1: Now this was, no,

did it, was it before?

786

:

No, it was after,

787

:

Tilly: was before,

788

:

Dan 1: it was

789

:

after the sun cream, because we covered

her in sun cream for me to get by

790

:

her sun hat, and are you right there?

791

:

Tilly: my nose.

792

:

Ha

793

:

Dan 1: Okay.

794

:

Tilly: ha ha ha ha

795

:

Dan 1: And so we then decided that

we had to wash her off because

796

:

we like rubbed it in her hair,

because her hair is pretty thin.

797

:

And she didn't have any,

anything to go over her head.

798

:

That was what we were doing,

going to buy a sun hat.

799

:

And so when I came back to wash her,

and then put her in the bathtub,

800

:

and, you know, I called you up, but

before that, so, I had, I was trying

801

:

to put her in the bucket thing.

802

:

Well, first she was in the seat, in the

803

:

bucket, but, but the seats,

The bucket's too small for the

804

:

Tilly: It isn't.

805

:

Dan 1: Yeah, so I took her out and I

kind of worked out that I could put my

806

:

hand underneath her bottom And that way

she could sit in the tub because the

807

:

problem is more that she like falls this

way or falls that way But if you've got

808

:

your hand there, you can kind of keep

keep her roughly stable But then she

809

:

let out this absolutely massive fart

all over my hand I was like, oh no,

810

:

Tilly: she

811

:

Dan 1: as she sharted on my hand, so I

pulled my hand out to check and then she

812

:

just went, splat, straight in the water.

813

:

So there wasn't any poo on my hand

and I had to quickly write her

814

:

and she just came up like really

startled, eyes flickering everywhere.

815

:

I was like, well that, phew, I didn't get

shit on my hand and she, she, sometimes

816

:

that she really kicks off from it, but

she just kind of looked a bit worried and

817

:

then went back on playing with her toys.

818

:

Tilly: played with

819

:

Dan 1: Definitely helps

to have toys in a bath.

820

:

Tilly: the most funny

821

:

Dan 1: So yeah, that was my funny,

her, well, me thinking she'd shouted

822

:

on my hand, pulling my hand away and

then finding out that she, and then her

823

:

just sploshing her face in the water.

824

:

top

825

:

Tilly: I think I generally just

find it, really funny that, when

826

:

she's, she's obviously figured out.

827

:

my boobs are here, and even

when it's closed over them,

828

:

my boobs are still there.

829

:

starts to start clawing at my top, she's

like, she pulls my top down, sort of pulls

830

:

down, sort of looks, tries to look down,

sort of looks down at my boobs like that.

831

:

Which is quite funny now, so she's like

a little bit of a perv which is sometimes

832

:

she's, I'm sure she's not, but sometimes

it looks like she's trying to fiddle

833

:

with like the clippy bit of my maternity

bra, she's like sort of clamping at it.

834

:

Yeah, and she does like real like She

sort of semi milks my boob now, doesn't

835

:

she Yeah.

836

:

Sometimes she does a double hander.

837

:

She sort of pulls it into her,

like, pulls it into her mouth.

838

:

Sometimes

839

:

Dan 1: And sometimes you can see her

like Clamping on, basically milking it.

840

:

She'll just grab some of your,

your boob, And then squeeze it

841

:

Tilly: just really gently

strokes my boob, sort of.

842

:

She brushes it like this,

843

:

Dan 1: foreplay before the clamping

844

:

Tilly: down.

845

:

Get

846

:

Dan 1: Yeah, get, get it warmed up.

847

:

Get it ready for the clamping.

848

:

Tilly: And then grab the nipple!

849

:

Get the nipple

850

:

Dan 1: Give me more!

851

:

Let down!

852

skiddly bop bop bop?

871

:

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA off.

872

:

Okay

873

:

Tilly: me a pop bar

874

:

Now I need you to not do your

slow slow middle class talking

875

:

and you to do fast fast talking

876

:

Dan 1: Okay, here we go.

877

:

The shitty work day.

878

:

This Oh, wait, no

879

:

Tilly: shitty

880

:

Dan 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, the shitty work

day by Erin T, mum of three, on Honest.

881

:

com.

882

:

Probably the worst was when my

baby had a massive blowout right

883

:

before I was leaving for work.

884

:

Poop all up his back, into his

hair, leaking out the sides of

885

:

the diaper, so he needed a bath

and I needed to change my shirt.

886

:

I realise till halfway through my work day

that I had a stream of poop down my pant

887

:

leg that I had missed in all the madness.

888

:

Tilly: all ha

889

:

Dan 1: Oh, that'd be rough.

890

:

Okay.

891

:

So Jessica T, mum of two.

892

:

Tilly: number two.

893

:

Yeah, you

894

:

Dan 1: Yeah.

895

:

Yeah.

896

:

I don't want to be outnumbered.

897

:

Anyway, you never forget your first.

898

:

When I was a first time mum, I was on

my way back to a mummy and me class,

899

:

which was already daunting since getting

out of the house was hard enough.

900

:

When I finally get to class and go to

bed, Pull the baby out of the car seat.

901

:

She had not only blown out of her

diaper, but it was all over the car.

902

:

The mummy and me instructor looked at me

in shock and asked how she could help.

903

:

I could already see it in her

eyes, but she told me it was

904

:

the worst blow she'd ever seen.

905

:

The poop was everywhere.

906

:

It was up her front, up her

back, and all over the car seat.

907

:

I wouldn't be surprised if there was

even some on the roof of the car.

908

:

I was so embarrassed and sad.

909

:

And felt like an

unsuccessful first time up.

910

:

But was thankful for the group around

me gathering together to clean up

911

:

my baby girl and her surroundings.

912

:

Nothing bonds a group of

mums like a bad blowout.

913

:

Okay, you Is that fast enough you?

914

:

Now, if you could try not to

yawn in these, that'd be great.

915

:

Tilly: No, I've got one

coming, I can feel it rising.

916

:

I can feel one coming.

917

:

When we had our first son, my

wife and I were totally clueless.

918

:

We spent 30 minutes pondering

whether or not we had him in a

919

:

car seat properly at the hospital.

920

:

Dan 1: going to read the

title of the person, I'm

921

:

Tilly: G Wiz, it's

922

:

Dan 1: Alright, so what's on again?

923

:

Tilly: just read it.

924

:

Dan 1: fine.

925

:

Tilly: For the first couple of months, he

kept having pee leaks around his stomach.

926

:

It wasn't

927

:

all

928

:

Dan 1: Pee leaks around his stomach?

929

:

Is that me?

930

:

Tilly: coming out of his stomach.

931

:

Dan 1: Oh, I see,

932

:

Tilly: think it's just like

pee coming out of his stomach,

933

:

Dan 1: Oh, yeah, it's like,

934

:

Tilly: It wasn't all the time, but

enough that we were wondering why.

935

:

We brought it up to the pediatrician.

936

:

She asked if we'd point it out.

937

:

I know.

938

:

Dan 1: on?

939

:

you too tired to

940

:

Tilly: We bought it up at the pediatrician

and she asked if we'd point it down.

941

:

We both looked at each other wondering

what she meant when suddenly it

942

:

clicked, for me at least, to point

my little guy's little guy down.

943

:

Seen such an obvious conclusion after

we were told and since babies, or

944

:

diapers that matter, don't come with

those types of instruction manuals

945

:

I always tell first time parents

of boys to point that thing down.

946

:

They get Michael G, dad of two.

947

:

Dan 1: fucking obvious,

especially from a dad.

948

:

Tilly: I just don't think it's what

you think about, I think you're just

949

:

beautiful enough, you wouldn't need to

fold down The willy then, don't do it.

950

:

I'm

951

:

Dan 1: old rules.

952

:

the head of the boy, right out

of the then see what boy he is.

953

:

And

954

:

Tilly: a boy

955

:

Dan 1: course, see what other

changes that, that lead you to

956

:

Tilly: can be a danger

zone if you are quick.

957

:

Each boy had multiple to two diapers.

958

:

I said multiple times, especially

when it's cold, when the little guys

959

:

would know exactly when the diaper

wasn't there, and close and choose that

960

:

specific moment to begin releasing.

961

:

Dan 1: these.

962

:

Tilly: It must be some

kind of prank to them.

963

:

They would always giggle as

pee splattered everywhere.

964

:

Dan 1: as

965

:

Tilly: But As a parent, you know

that you need to leave the house

966

:

ten minutes ago and have no time

to clean, and do a wardrobe change,

967

:

That already took you 15 minutes to

find that matching sock the first time.

968

:

Who's a show up matching socks?

969

:

Not me.

970

:

I learned early on that rushing

the preparation of the diaper

971

:

change is a foolish mistake.

972

:

Always have the next diaper undone

and ready to put on the little one.

973

:

As soon as that sole diaper is

off, you better have the new

974

:

diaper or wipe ready to cover up.

975

:

Also, as time goes on, you

will know the face of the baby

976

:

mate right before they release.

977

:

Study this face.

978

:

You have a split second of what could

be a matter of life or death, alright?

979

:

Chill out, it's a bit of a

980

:

Dan 1: this going?

981

:

Okay, this is

982

:

Tilly: Oh, oh,

983

:

Dan 1: funny.

984

:

Tilly: no, we're done now.

985

:

Dan 1: No, no, come

986

:

on, those were rubbish.

987

:

Okay, last one.

988

:

If it's shit, it's shit.

989

:

Try and

990

:

read a bit ahead and don't fall asleep

991

:

Tilly: That's just the instructions.

992

:

Dan 1: it.

993

:

Okay.

994

:

Tilly: That's done now.

995

:

We're done.

996

:

Dan 1: Okay, fine.

997

:

Well guys, we resign.

998

:

We forfeit.

999

:

Tilly: Yeah.

:

00:40:59,902 --> 00:41:01,588

Dan 1: Good night all ciao.

:

00:41:01,657 --> 00:41:02,019

Bye.
