want to play The Potato game it's kind of like Ring Around the Rosie with a potato I like it it's like or like hot potato for real yeah yeah with an actual potato yeah I did that last year I better get Small Potatoes because people what size potatoes no I feel like the smaller that you have the more they're likely to throw them at people okay so big honking baking potato in my mind but I also don't want like anyone to knock each other unconscious welcome to potato talk I'm Stephanie baby Will Roll the potato I'm changing the game that's actually probably a better idea we're gonna roll this this potato okay I did have passed the potato last year when I had a gig over it a yacht club they very much enjoyed it so it's fun yeah no so Irish Fest it is one of my favorite events at the Museum yeah see Kelly I want to play The Potato game too we agree we will play I'll bring the kids and we'll make french fries and it'll all be good that was so fun I really play like a kid I think it's so important I think we get wrapped up in our adult life right now like my husband is so supremely stressed out he's recovering from two surgeries he's about to go back to work yeah he's got a bunch of other stuff going on he just stopped to help me order all the equipment I need yeah because we not waiting till the last minute or anything but we need a better speaker system because we have these professional musicians and I'm like okay what kind of microphone okay wait daisy chain I can dance I was really proud of you I was about to interject and speak some tech stuff to Lisa and she was like is that when he put them together and I was like proud of you right I'm learning I'm learning I am I was really excited for you but I think that even he I said he's like armor I'll probably just blow off Physical Therapy I'm like no I think you need to go yeah sometimes you just need to play or move your body or physically get out of your own way to be less aggravated we did that I mean I've been doing that too because now I have to get dish if you're good about taking those moments wow and then going for walks and you've got the dogs I have to for that and I have to for for this because and then someone might get hurt if I don't yeah right I don't want to go to jail or anything we definitely don't want that Jane good morning Lindsay hi Edie thank you so much for joining us yeah I need to get my rear end back on that bike speaking of Charlie you just showed me a photo of him where did he get the deer antler from it's a massive deer antler so walking behind my so I am the backyard to the new solar farm if you live in the sandwich kituate Road area so enough of that um but anyways we walked on the old trail that we always walked on and I he is not a stick dog he's a ball dog and a few other things and I saw him sniffing I'm like what's why is he picking up a stick and then I got closer I'm like oh it's just yeah I looked for the other one I don't know if it fell off or this deer got in a fight yeah they scratch and then they fall off yeah I could kind of see a tree where he might have done that so I brought it home and I'm walking home my neighbor opens the door yells is that an antler yeah where'd you get that that is so cool it is very cool they're like 25 bucks you can buy them my daughter has bought several of them oh wow you could now let them chew on it it's a dog toy now I know I'm gonna hang it on the wall it's a nice Healthy dog treat it's my stuffed deer it's you but it's only the antler because I would never want an animal looking at me Taxidermy people I'm sorry I'm just not into it I I know it's weird but all of a sudden for whatever reason I'm kind of into it it's disgusting into it yes that's what she wanted for Christmas I remember I remember the dumb things I remember right like I have so much storage space for things that I don't need up in my brain oh my gosh I could be solving all the world's problems up there with the amount of useless stuff I have stored Kelly yes send Cliff some Reiki please and I love when kid places hold adult only nights give adults a chance to play we need to start doing that at the museum for grown-ups we had a staff Retreat on Monday which means we ordered food and Monday we're closed and we just sat and that's one of the things that came up because I'm mimicking some other museums like have you ever seen adult Hungry Hippos yes it's hilarious basket no no no you those rolly carts and you lay on them and someone holds your legs yeah with the laundry basket and collect if you know how we could serve alcohol and have it be someone else yeah responsible poor guys I know I got a guy I got a guy I heard I need a guy yep not that we have to have that but we're you know it'd be kind of fun it's way more fun and we just thought you know that that drinking game where you swing the wire and it hangs on the hook yeah move your little shot glass we bought that for the museum adult tables no shot glasses but it's just fun you know it's got a lot more of that yes we need some activities and some games that we could play yes but we want to have adult night and I still can't hula hoop for the life of me so anybody out there could teach me how to hula hoop we got you Hoops we can be painting we can you know we got finger paint I know once a month that could be a nice fundraiser to do you know how many people sit down in color and then like forget they even have kids with them because sometimes they're like excuse me sir you've been there for an hour the other one is running a mock over there their kids are scared to sit at the table could you move over yes and yes I love that so much do you mind that's one thing I do remember from childhood my Uncle Mark was like the best colorer and we would all as kids like Marvel over his coloring it's so satisfying uncle could you outline that for me again because it was just so pretty the way he did it it was like magical such random things at the end of the day kid adult kid adult right right seriously so yeah Lisa and I have been supremely consumed with all the activities I feel like yeah spring comes with it as we're things are popping up and things are regenerating and then we tend to get overwhelmed and kind of lost in the preparation of spring sometimes I know we definitely are in this household there's just a lot going on we overdid it we did a lot of construction which is finally ending I love how you said we overdid it but it was really you but the people that were in my house were just in the way we did our first exchange over the weekend and they loved it so talk a little bit about that because I think it's such a cool concept it is and if you're open to being a little uncomfortable with people but getting to know them I think that this is a really cool experience so we're fortunate to have traveled a lot that's my thing and we joined this home exchange group and it's a smaller one I won't say the name because I don't even want to bombard it right um but um we've hosted we've met a bunch of people but we finally had people stay at our house and I'm going out to see Abby in California so I randomly looked in the LA area I'm staying in this Casita which is a fancy name for a pool house or Spanish name for a pool house cool the pool hall I'll show you pictures so basically you're just trading a space to stay with somebody else she's not even coming she's going to be in Israel she's like okay well I'll hook up with you at some time if I'm on the cape and she's like you should come earlier because I have to have you leave Friday they're having a wedding on the grounds that's how nice this place is oh it's incredible and so anyways I'm like oh no I couldn't change my flight so we're spending three nights out there and then um I think it's wonderful because when the people are there you can experience their culture and this is worldwide this is not just this country this is 7 000 homes worldwide and the people we had over the weekend that was what we talked about and they've been doing it for a couple years so my husband is one of if you're out there going oh no he's like putting locks on doors he's like I don't know I'm like I'm like what are they gonna steal exactly because I'd like to know what I know yeah and so if you're stealing it for my house then I hope it was worth it to you we've closed off our closets everything that's personal I don't have anything I know it's in the closet because my kids are like why so my son came home he was in drill and he met them they brought dinner which was awesome from Asia over here in Mashpee they're like where can we get Chinese food I'm like go there bring it to us and uh he loved it and so now where he's been giving me a hard time he's like this is really cool good I told you oh well I like spending time with people from other cultures I know not everybody does and this was local this wasn't even another culture but it was still interesting you know and that's my husband uh when we took the kids to England over the summer and we were gone we stayed in hostels we see them people's homes and it was very uncomfortable for my husband but he also got more comfortable with it and by the end of Eddie was like that was really a cool experience you get more out of it I mean there's only so many I love a good hotel don't get me wrong but there's only so many times plus now you're in a house you have a kitchen you can just do normal things also experiencing life from a Local's point of view and actually living in the way that they live there is a much more enriching experience I feel like than just kind of bopping in for the tourist experience and then leaving so we've already scheduled a few coming up you know from the Netherlands from Toronto they're coming to stay with us this summer and the other thing as I was discussing with this woman it lets the mother or which is usually the travel planner relax too because what I want to provide when you come to the cape yeah all of the Glamorous stuff looks good you know everybody's paddle boarding they're doing this that how you getting the paddle board over there right getting the paddle board from where is it safe to paddle board you know all of these things and I'm like I will bring you I'll throw the kayaks in my car I'll drop you off on my way to work that is amazing I will show you where to park I will tell you what not to do where not to drive it's a free concierge service because they know exactly who knows it better than a local exactly and then someone will do it for you when you go there so that's the whole point of it yep I totally love this experience good morning Dave thank you so much for joining us yeah so I had a moment yesterday where I've been battling insurance and trying to get everybody situated to my house it's just that time of year dentist appointments need to be made eye doctor appointments need to be made I have to make them for everybody in the house I just did we just did that that was a hurry up and what we already got our refund we just filed last weekend oh my gosh for two businesses and a personal one oh my gosh it was a lot but we had to do it given all of the refi and all the stuff that we were going through so it was like okay so we're dropping all the plans we had for this weekend and now we're doing taxes and we had all of our oh it was a nightmare so it's done hey thankful if I if I have to go back and fix things I will but I don't want to look back right now we're moving forward I'm jealous so I'm on the phone scheduling all these things well the lady's like let me just put you on hold I'm like no drops a call drops the call then I have to begin the whole Quest all over again does anybody feel like this is a joke it's like a video game of these big companies need to hire human beings to answer the phone yeah I'm sorry you can afford it we are at the Museum we use PayPal to service the website so you can buy tickets well it decided it wasn't working anymore don't don't ask me why or how because you have an event coming up where people are buying tickets and the only reason I never did is the gentleman like texts me he's like I can't get tickets by the way people when something's not working on a site and you repetitively hit submit submit submit pay pay pay submits pay it shows up 45 times on the other end I'm just telling you so what looked like 3 000 orders was actually about six people going to try it here try it here let me try again in an hour let me try in 10 minutes I'm like oh oh no but anyways I have to call PayPal well PayPal isn't a thing you call they're not people paypals are not ticket we finally do get it because you can see PayPal try and buy a ticket I'm like see it's not working PayPal I told you you know they did a sample thing good morning Lisa I think we're in need of some of your CBD products long story short they dropped the call but we finally get a person they drop the call now here I'm such I'm sitting with our bookkeeper we waited for them to call back everything's on fire they would actually call back that's cute so in the meantime thank you Clover and Cape Cod cooperative bank who we are now working with for our new point of sale system we're bypass PayPal all together we're just going direct to our bank account direct through this point of sale that has a human attached to it that's very nice that is on the cape and I called him and sat at my kitchen counter going all right Rick you got to help me like I gotta I gotta have tickets yeah we're right in the height of these sales we do live in such a disjointed digital situation where we don't know if we're getting humans Bots is this real but we bought this particular software and service because it had people attached to it good and there's a 1-800 version you could do it online but I'm no and also beware if you're online and you're seeing people selling tickets to this event they're they're not selling Lisa's tickets they're fraudsters they're out there right now on social get out yeah I know so I've got our tickets everyone's tickets Cape Cod beerus tickets your tickets there is a bunch of events that are ticketed on the cape where people are like oh I've got two extra tickets those people don't have tickets they're looking to steal your money oh wow so I've written down the names and and double checked on them for you today so oh it's just the stupid stuff that you see when you're cruising and there are so many people out there looking to just rob you you just reminded me last year the day of Irish Fest last year I get a call that our website is down I'm like what do you mean our website is down I go on someone hacked it I remember and sent it to a Viagra account to buy Viagra so if you went to Canada for the Children's Museum I'm in my office going how what do I do now I only know enough to be dangerous why did I have to go to a peep he's a wee-wee site of all things of all things to the children's museum I bet the hacker thought this will be funny I'm gonna send it 100 right I lost the day of my life with this PayPal thing trying to fix it like I just can't I just saw that they released the best tipping States since we're talking about PayPal and or otherwise Delaware Indiana and Wyoming Massachusetts wasn't even in the top ten I feel like we're good tippers I think we're good I think we're good tippers I know I over tip always Wyoming what was the other one and Indiana why I don't know Wyoming I could get because maybe people most people are visiting unless you live there and then when you're on vacation I feel like we always over tip to things see I took my locals better than I do when I'm away I agree good morning John I hope you're enjoying retirement Sean thank you so much for joining us I just need to take a deep full breath right now just because I feel so super overwhelmed and it's only Wednesday if you're looking to relax and have a good time I've got Margaritas we've got guacamole and we've got music bingo tonight at tomatillos it is good yeah it has done it a few times and it's a lot of fun six until eight I saw Karen last night she came with her son and did our trivia and he got so excited when we did are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader oh but honestly I feel like that's always the hardest round because I don't remember being in fifth grade and I don't remember any of these things I know I wasn't smart when I was in fifth grade so but I feel like there was just a lot of factual stuff that you were supposed to absorb and for whatever reason I just it didn't stay in there it didn't it didn't work at the Museum we do a lot of like science and stem classes and we're bringing all these people and they'll talk about you know even with kids they're like oh let's look at what happens when you put carbon in and what's going to happen to the ice when you and I'm like I have no idea you better watch this side if you pour salt on that is it going to melt faster or slower I think faster because that would be a snow thing yeah I mean it's crazy I'm like and I sometimes look at parents who are doing the same thing I go we knew this at one point in our lives right it's just not a necessary thing right now but it's good to go back and find it cool again it's good yeah no it is so it's International women's day I posted a thing on Facebook Stephanie in the morning if you want to give it a follow that just put down a woman or a picture of women or anybody in your life that really is a champion in your life I put a picture of me and Lil I'm just so proud of the woman she's becoming she really is like working hard I'm really impressed with where she is at 16 years old and what a freaking hot mess I was at that age we all have our hot mess moments yeah I had a hot mess like decade some are longer than others I'm still in my hot mess decade did I tell you I'm going to California to see my hot mess well you started it and then uh when is that happening first week in April that's exciting yes very excited um and oh yeah I said because we're staying at the Casita do you know what else I did no I want to hear I love it the adventures and this one's just because um so you know a long time ago when my one claim to fame one of the stars that I do know in the world is Melissa McCarthy's parents yep and I actually quoted them in the book and I was on a train and I had lunch with them the parents I know it's a weird thing like that so um she's big into pickleball huge she gets dressed in her Sunday whites to play Pickleball with her husband and her kids shut up and and she smacks the ball at her kids like this is her I'm like you'll be the most fun person to play Pickleball with so I messaged her and said hey I'm gonna be in California you ever want to play Pickleball I'm that crazy woman who had lunch with your parents and you know wrote them up in the book and so I'm waiting to hear but when now did she not respond to you I love you well not yet let me check all right we're waiting well no you know let us know when you're ready Lisa when I go and take photos so it's the whole oh okay oh there'll be so many friends yeah yeah I think she might even have a court in her yard kind of thing like she's a tennis player yep yeah I've never played I mean and I don't a celebrity and I was like you know me I don't know anyone but it's um I just think she'd be a nice person like we would be friends if she wasn't a celebrity yeah do you see that about her like she just seems like a very normal funny like down to earth person that like she's hilarious about being the parent I think we all formulate this weird relationship with people that we kind of I don't know whether it's admire or follow or kind of just feel this intimate attachment to someone that we don't even know like they do not know us no but I decided we should be friends that's fine I think that's good oh wait thank God it's whatever time 5 a.m in in L.A because Abby's not listening to this because that's my daughter she's so embarrassed you're never she would let you visit do you stay at the Casita don't call me love you lots which might happen if she finds a job she's like well if I'm working I'm like I'm still going she's out of work right now huh she's in between and the writers are maybe striking again it's just it's a gig job out there yeah so she's working she's waitressing again yep well so that's usually what happened up down up down so she seems happy and having fun so I'm like she went to see the Groundlings the other night she found a great show so funny and I think we're going to AGT to be in the audience uh America's Got Talent you never know what's going to be in the audience when you're there so that's that's what it's a roll of the dice yeah I'll do anything I don't care well I went to my first ever really televised show this year and I was incredibly Blown Away the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction oh yeah yeah so it was for HBO Max and so while I was there I couldn't believe the amount of time it took and like restarts and restarts and restarts and it was a six hour thing I'm like this was a long day yeah if you come I'm really excited go to a live TV audience like the Connors like you have to say you have to say you'll be there for five hours yeah and you can't leave right like I was calling myself that much only having one bathroom break like I wasn't even I restricted liquids because I didn't want to miss anything but at the same time that was a lot of sitting oh she she spent 30 years ago oh well let's see you should have a return receipt does it say red I don't know no she didn't read it she hasn't read it yet well like I said it's been good luck to you good night time for her and your dream of playing pickleball with Melissa order for tickets and her winter whites or whatever it is or dress or Sunday whites you should Google it it's very funny and how she's like I loved how she's like I go out there and I'm gonna play nice and I'm just gonna hit it back with my kids and then the ball comes and I just want to smack it yeah and I don't care if the kids are in the way I smack it at him and her husband good morning Dave drop it he's funny he is funny they're in a commercial recently too yeah yeah I posted something.com maybe I posted a photo of my husband and I probably we I maybe have been was 30 at the time oh I saw that one it's adorable we were fencing oh yeah I feel like that we need to bring that back we would you know settle some arguments by fencing there was a Fencing Club and we enjoyed it it was an activity we did together and I kind of like it because when we left we felt like ah I mean we had five small children at that time like little ones and I was just like oh you totally need to do that whip sticks at you and we settled it when we left fencing you know we went for a cocktail and went back to our lives it was actually a really nice there you go mental health exercise situation and Cliff was he said Lily found the photo going through his phone or whatever and started howling and he sent it to me wow we looked really up you look you looked like and I said we need to get back to fencing fights so he could settle it there you go what are some ways that you settle arguments with your spouse I feel like that is stop speaking and that's so unhealthy I know I know it's so unhealthy though it does happen though well you know you reach that point where you're like I'm going on here how long have you been together that's the thing that's like the Testament to you to wait and like Let It Go and like just wait until it dissipates or have you learned a better way to actively get over things I feel like we need to learn some new skills again we need to go back to remedial situations over here you made me laugh because I wanted Kevin just I want to learn how to line dance so I'm trying to get him to go line dancing with you which if you knew my husband is probably never going to happen but here's my thing I feel like if the next few years we spend learning how to do this and then our kids like get married we could like put just step out there in our past they'd be like why are they on the dance floor they can't dance either one of them it doesn't matter you know there was an article that I kind of perused yesterday about how healthy is your relationship and it was like it was these 12 things and I think cliff and I did about eight of them so I was really excited that was like I was like oh good this is healthy like holding your spouse's hand do you still hold your spouse's hand do you kiss them goodbye or do you kiss them hello and depending on which one of those well that's it we're good buyers and and see we do it depends it depends on the situation but usually we still hug and kiss goodbye or hello yeah both so I thought that that was good and another one was like do you do activities together that you are both uncomfortable with and I was like yes we actually do and we do challenge each other I think it's me making him uncomfortable but there's always going to be someone that's The Pusher in the relationship I mean we just try this that'd be me yes we got the boat we got the camper both of which he's like oh and and we've had a boat fighting is a thing yeah couples I learned that you gotta have a boat fight at least once a year I don't know and it's somebody backing you know you have a camper fight now you've got both now you've got all the recreational vehicles we were laughing because I took the camper by myself while he was at work and sent to the campground and set it up so we wouldn't have a fight and everybody at the campground helped me because I went over I said I'm new how do I park this over there and what do I plug in that's the thing and the camper people came out in droves they were so excited we can help someone yeah this okay we always want to run the cord and I'm like okay and we were all set up he was he was impressed Don says we need to box she said they box together and they don't argue I love that Susan I hope you're recovering quickly I loved your photo yesterday not of your knee up in the air but uh of getting some flowers and having people check in on you I checked on her and I was worried I just got this weird premonition I get this these weird jolts of I should probably check on someone and she was like I'm kind of groggy just getting out of surgery I'm like oh I didn't know is actually happening now so whatever my people were telling me to get in touch with your people and I feel bad I was like I haven't checked on her since and then I saw the knee up in the air but was it a planned surgery or she hurt herself I don't know it was planned um you know at this point in our lives we're all getting everything we need new parts yeah we're going in for service I need WD-40 injections for your joints but that's my dad he's had everything replaced and the man is like a new bionic he's right he's ready to go he's fishing in Florida I'm sorry in this day and age and I had this talk to my son's girlfriend is a physical therapist I'm like the knee everybody needs new knees because of this stuff that's worn out yeah can we not make new stuff and put it in there without replacing the whole idea of getting a metal knee like freaks me out yeah cutting the bone putting the joint in but it's all the rubbing it's it's like how come we can't find fake cartilage and stick it in there right I don't know I don't know that's my first little injection I need it replaced like like you fill in the you know you kind of like you're oozing the Gap shower you know Wizard of Oz boil it up put the caulking in there mush her in work her around and this is why we're not in science it seems more feasible to me than hacking your leg off right I agree there's got to be a better way why are we not working on that let's go kids I just saw a million dollar idea there right 10 productivity hacks to help busy moms balance it all Lisa and I love looking at these because in our podcast because of the ten there's only gonna be one that's even remotely realized one that is real go into the week strong start the week off with a plan I tried to do that I try and do it every week like it's a new thing like Sunday everybody we're gonna get everything washed and we're gonna get everything laid out and there's chaos by today it's Wednesday it's always Wednesday and everyone's like where is the this you took by that just trying to get to Friday now that was like I just try to survive just survive until until one day where they leave I'll wash it on the weekend wear something else seriously so I I do appreciate the going to the week strong I try every single week every week I'm drilling a few good days out of it but I still show up anyway and I still do it I think it's better than going in Weak break down the day and that's one thing that I definitely don't do I do not break down my day and piecemeal it like this is when I'm done with this portion of my day I need to move on I've run out of the allocated hours for this task yeah very bad at that yeah I'm I have more add for some stuff but I allow for my ADD at a certain time of day yeah I have like productive time of day is the morning yeah so things that are important work things five to ten after that it's a slow slide that's it that's a clip goes up I can't do computer programming after uh 10 a.m yeah I've lost all of the space in my brain so in the afternoon you'll see me like raking leaves and like doing all these like you're really good about putting yourself physically out there and that's usually when I'm it's time to finish it finish it I know sit there and toil away and my husband's like take a freaking break because you're no good to anybody right now and I'm like I know but I need to finish it we're painting our new rooms and after like getting on my hand dropping it on my shoe like missing it hit the molding I'm like

I've done that too no no animals or children or very few check-ins so I do have Myspace I have an office shut the door yeah you need to have it take breaks which I'm very bad at set boundaries which I'm bad at delegate I'm working on that is the biggest one delegate you need to start asking yourself should I be doing this yeah I even did this at work even with staff who would like that are management staff and they do things that the kids could do on the weekends yeah is this something you need to be doing if it's a no tasket yeah like it just buys you more time I'm working on the delegation I'm really I really am it is use collaborative workspaces also and they just say pick a workspace and now they want you to collaborate with yeah yeah there are many options for collaborative workspaces but I do work well with some other people but they're talking like Trello yeah it doesn't need to physically be a collective workspace uh and then make a daily top three and I think that I'm gonna take away from that I need to make my daily top three I feel like that'll make my life a little bit more manageable yeah yeah this has to happen today yeah past inspection yeah right that's it that's really what today needs to be focused on for sure and at the end of the day if all else fails I'm gonna be having a margarita at tomatillos so I'll be fine good morning Betsy good morning Laura and hello Seraphina I hope you're having a great International women's day I don't know what we're supposed to do other than say say it a lot good job ladies We Run the World we do sorry guys we do uh Tick Tock warning against wire brushes I saw this as we're getting close to grill season I've seen this it's scary right very scary and my my husband I have fought over that maybe I'll hit him with the wire brush because he thinks it's just it's not gonna happen I'm like if you know something can happen has happened it's like okay I hate to bring a pickleball again woman posted she got hit in the eye and she's losing her eye like she got hit with an open eye it's disgusting I'm like well there's no reason I should not be wearing at least my sunglasses you know what I mean like at least I don't say to you Lisa from breaking right the guy who got hit in the face of the baseball game the other yes I saw that that's like my world's worst nightmare is getting a ball to the Head it really is I played a lot of soccer I think I have too many balls to that I was a catcher in softball go ahead make all your catcher jokes you want I was very protected and I felt very safe in my gear okay it was the safest space for me to be in it was little kids I'll never forget this little girl's up to bat pitch comes in little girl changes directions to go with the pitch no start snowing at myself in the catcher thankfully she missed all of us but I was like oh wow we all Hit the Dirt I've never seen anything like it that's amazing she was so nice that she was like I'll just swing with the ball and continue its trajectory at the yeah it was God I love kids you just never know they are incredible oh I Lisa and I were watching this Tick Tock also before we started our live stream this morning about kitchen scissors and this woman that was doing all these wonderful tasks with kitchen scissors and I'm watching it and I was like oh I didn't know you could do that oh I didn't know you could do that but the thing is we were both so engrossed in it for like five minutes when you have kids you don't have kitchen scissors because not only do they disappear the things that they're used for that we don't know while we're gone I don't have anything nice which is why I have no problem with having Rando people stay in my home it's there's go ahead steal from what like go ahead and what was my solution I think you should tie the scissors to the drawer I would laugh because I looked at it and I said if I tie the scissors to the drawer my kids would just cut the scissors away from the drawer and I would be left with a string attached to my drawer like there is very little I need like one of those Bank chains where they used to change remember they used to chain up the pens you're gonna need one this thick but she's like exactly where are the kitchen scissors hold on that we can use them so I can open up this can so yeah I I laugh at all those hack videos just because in a perfect world that hack would be great but finding the tools and the shape that I left them in with children is never going to happen in my home never ever and even though I have teenagers you would think that it would get better it doesn't oh no it doesn't even get better when they get older I love this morning so I've given my children uh like a five four three two one countdown of today and all the activities that needed to be done by today and then the belligerence out of my son's mouth this morning about blocking a door with a laundry basket and everything was mine wasn't me you didn't tell me I didn't know and I and and listen I didn't even engage though not a girl I was just like you knew you knew and I'm not going to have this fight with you yep just do it Nike Goodbye Oh brutal that's kid no they are fight about anything and I was so clear about it whether you actually absorbed and engaged the words that were coming out of my mouth that is on you but I really just feel like white noise a lot no yeah I used to say am I talking to the walls are they they start answering me well you're the professional I'm I'm coming to you for how do I speak to them better yeah not engaging is the first they're doing it to get you to engage they're doing it to muster you up to fly you know fluster you so you forget about the task and they're frustrated and they're you know so in a calmer time not appropriate and if you talk back to me like that again there's going to be a consequence and this is what it is yeah there's no muss or fuss with Miss Miss Bates oh no we don't do that we don't play no no because it's it only it's not gonna get better they get more and I mean I I just actually worked with two different they're not clients but they're friends and their kids this week on the same exact issue and these both boys are in their early 20s and ones in their late 20s this is what yeah accepting behavior from a 13 year old you don't think it's going to go away when they're 28 years old it's still going to Fester there so you have to like draw the line and the only the older one got boot got the boot I said it's your house sometimes you do have to draw that line and it's so painful and it's very hard it hurts you more than it does the woman Other Woman in tears with the younger twin and I said you're doing the right thing kids have to be taught the boundaries and they're taught by their parents they have to talk to respect you it doesn't matter I mean I still I'll look at them I'm like don't care if you agree with me or not I don't care if you like it or not if you need Lisa in your life I'm telling you you everybody needs a Lisa in their life because sometimes I'll just go to her and be like am I doing the right thing yes you're doing the right thing absolutely okay I just needed that no we needed that today don't abandon ship as a parent you are the parent it is your house and I said to my son one of my sons the other
