Great Great Rowing and kidd Now with Correo. It's the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Great Great, Good Day. So school's back next week. Most
parents will be very relieved to know.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
Yeah, don't go shopping for school shoes. Sweet, it's still hypolical.
I literally saw a line like it was either Williams
or neighbors. Yeah, just parents who have gone off.
Speaker 4 (00:29):
It's next week, and I feel like the school traffic,
Like I was thinking it'll be okay at the moment,
it's not so bad because school's not back, but traffic's
still like ramped up, like it's on.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
I just I went. I had to drive Raffie up
to the Sunny.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
Coast on Tuesday to stay with my mum and dad,
and and took us like it took us an hour
to get from like you know where I lived in
North Lakes, which is normally half hour drive.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
But it's just so much traffic. Everyrun's on.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
You've deflected long ago, Yeah, I know you want to
talk about the traffic.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Well, next So next week, Rafie kicks off prep.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
This is first at school and we so far he's
got his uniforms, which was so cool. And I actually
his mum and I were not together anymore for those
that don't follow the show closely.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
But we went together, and these guys are so great
at co parenting. I can't tell you how impressive it is.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
That will thank you. Well, yes, I know where that
I think I know where this is going.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
Well, Well, we're coming up to his first day of school,
and I hadn't anticipated that. I'm not going to be
at home when he's getting ready. I'm not going to
wake up in the morning and he's going to like
I'm going to be there for his first I'm not
going to.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Be there, like I've asked Ali for the day off,
but he's staying at his mum's house. And this is it.
This is your first day of school.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
You only get one. It's not like Christmas where there
will be another one next year and you can share.
So and I don't I don't know how, I don't
know what. I don't know what to do. I want
to be there. I want to and I don't obvious
I'm not going to stay at his mum's house.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Can you go at like six in the morning, and
you get up and go early so that you can
be a part of putting on his uniform.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
And just to see him before.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Yeah, you don't want to turn up at the school
gate and it's just another kid.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
No, No, that's right.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
I could be like any every other dad that just
sees sees another kid in his school uniform because I
haven't been part of the morning and I know that
happens to a lot of working parents anyway, they miss out.
But I've got this opportunity, like I can have the day.
So I don't know. I haven't asked his mum. It
would feel pretty strange. I haven't been really in her house.
(02:33):
So I went when he injured himself, like he cut
his finger with a kitchen knife that was over well
over a year ago, so obviously went around there in
an emergency. But no, we don't like hang out in
the house together.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
So okay, would it wouldn't? I mean Amber would miss out.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Too, right, So if you stay with me, absolutely.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
And it would probably be weirder with Naomi and Sienna.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Yes, if Amber came to the house, I think so.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
And his his pattern, his routine is going to be
because of this these hours and stuff. He's going to
be staying with his mum and starting every day, well,
starting school in the morning, and I'll pick him up
some afternoons, but he'll never stay. He won't be able
to stay overnight sort of other than weekends.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Is that for the whole whole year or yeah? Pretty
much Like we'll have weekends, but.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
That's it because your custody is literally fifty to fifty
every like two days here, two days there, and he's
so used to that.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
Yeah, he's used to mixing it up, but we can't.
I mean, I think once school starts, that's everything's got
to change.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Okay, thirteen one oh six five? You know, fifty percent
divorce rate. There's lots of parents who have dealt with this.
Would it be appropriate for Amber to get him ready
and then for you to take him to school.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Like go and pick them both up? Maybe? Maybe? Yeah,
you don't want to do that? No, I mean that
would that's probably it. That's probably it.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
Like that'll be as close as I can get, I
think to the to the you know, the up in
the morning and him being nervous.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
And all those other things.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Is that okay for you?
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Yeah? I mean I guess it's got to be right. Well,
then you can what else is there? Yeah, we'll both be.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
There for drop off drop off I'm sure of that,
but yeah, I just won't be there when he gets up.
It wakes up at probably five o'clock or sleeps in
his uniform and does all those things that you hear
about on their first day of school, and it sucks.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Yeah really, I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
I mean it's just every separated parent deals with this.
And as you say, it's not like Christmas were you
can go. Yeah, Christmas is, I'll have them this year.
You can have them next year. There is one day. Yeah, okay,
well people are calling through we want to help your
white like Amber and all of that.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
From here. I don't think we're going to do that.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
If you come at home, shed.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
What did you do with Monty because you would have
had training and stuff for the Broncos.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Yeah, but they give you time for the first day,
you know, they said, no, no, you're to go like
like you said, there's only one there's only one first
day of school. Yeah, they let you go and drop
them off and then you go to training after.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
So how did you go?
Speaker 1 (05:19):
When I was going to class, I actually got emotional. Yeah,
it's not that I didn't think I was gone, but
I don't think I was going to get like deary like, yeah,
you know, I was going to be sad, but yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
It's a little girl.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Yeah, yeah it is. And you're right, it's it's one day, so.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
You only get it once. Yeah, so it's hard.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
Now thirteen six five our number. Ifever you want to
get involved with the show. Mel out of the Gabba
has some insight on this. Now, it says your stepmom, Mel,
that's right. Yeah, okay, So what was the situation.
Speaker 5 (05:49):
So my partner, we've got two kids, and the youngest
will be going into prep next week and he will
have them that morning, and so if was to turn
up at the house for photos or turn up at
the school, the little one will absolutely be gravitating towards
her and would actually take that moment away from him.
(06:10):
And so it's every family is going to be unique.
But in our particular situation, it would be better for
you know, for him to be able to have that moment,
he would need to be alone, otherwise it would really
you know, there needs to be a sacrifice it with
this particular relationship for him to be able to share
that moment. Otherwise he'll just kind of fade into the
(06:32):
background because you know, it's mum there.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
All and end all right, so it can't be a
shared moment.
Speaker 5 (06:39):
Unfortunately, I don't think it working.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
No, Mel, You've raised a really interesting point though, and
I think Kip and Amber do this all the time.
It comes down to RAFFI. Yeah, you know what I mean.
So have you guys true?
Speaker 5 (06:54):
This is very true. Yeah, we haven't. So we had
them for a couple of days now, so that could
definitely be an approach we take.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Yeah, I ask the questions.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Yeah, the kids.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Yeah, oh man, Raffa want everyone there, He will want
the circus.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Yeah, yeah, always gravitate towards you know, one like for
for certain things. But we both still went like Monte
gravitates to Tea and yeah she gets, you know, in
certain certain scenarios and then she comes to me. But
I remember going and you know, she just wanted mum,
but then she just changed and just wanted me.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Okay, so let me just check it off because there's
ten people that require your life to be functioning. So
how many of us are turning up to Raffie's first?
Speaker 4 (07:39):
Did you notice?
Speaker 2 (07:40):
I said?
Speaker 4 (07:41):
I know? Alie said, yeah, you can have the day off,
but I want you to take like the comrack so
that you can broadcast life.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
So it's rapping all your friends and family and the
whole of Brisbane and the entire staff plus all the
Brisbane Yeah, so it should be a small band of
the show.
