- Welcome back, (audience clapping)
- It's another Rad Mom hour.
That is right, another.
And I'll keep doing them,
cause it's my show and I can do whatever I want.
What? (audience laughing)
- Because it's not even a sliver of the kind of,
thank you that most moms deserve.
Can you believe, that between all of the moms
in the audience,
we do more than 26 hours
of our kids laundry, a day.
A day. - [Chris] Wow.
- Yeah, exactly Chris, wow is right.
Tell your wife thank you.
(laughing)
- Last time we had an audience full of moms
and we held a very cathartic group discussion,
here's a bit of that.
- Why do we call it a mommy sin?
We should call it mommy innovation.
Or mommy thinking forward. (laughing)
- Or mommy doing it for yourself
cause we deserve it
cause no one plans a pandemic.
That's the thing that I'm doing wrong,
and I know it.
Is our kids only watch one show.
So, they've literally seen Bunk'd?
Like for every single season.
- Your kids are older, mine's six,
she loves Bunk'd, I'm like this is too old.
(mimicking kids)
- I hear that Peppa Pig,
I thought that my child
was gonna have a British accent,
we watched it so much. (laughing)
- I love you guys.
It was so fun.
And hey people got to sip wine,
bond, and commensurate.
And I got to see two
of my favorite new mom friends.
Together they host a podcast called #IMOMSOHARD.
They're joining me again now, because once again
my show and I can invite
whoever I want. (laughing)
- Please welcome Kristin Hensley
and Jane Smedley y'all.
- Hi. (audience clapping)
- Hi moms. (audience clapping)
- Welcome back, I am having
the worst week. (laughing)
- And I was so excited when
I saw that y'all were coming.
(Kelly laughing)
- Thanks for having us. - It makes us feel so good.
- Oh my god you make me smile.
Well once again on that note, I love you guys,
I love the advice that you give.
So you know, we remind each other
that we're not the only ones
who still haven't had a chance
to clean the Spaghettio's off the wall
from like four months ago.
Whatever, we're busy. (audience laughs)
- Grab your glasses ladies,
it is time to wine to mommy.
♪ Wine to mommy ♪ - [Child] Mommy.
- All right, so we're taking questions,
swapping stories and sharing solutions
with the help of our mommy viewers
and moms in the house seats.
The first question is from Kelly,
what do you want to ask?
- I'm a mom of four kids, ages five to 10.
One of the things that we're always
talking about in this house
is oral hygiene right?
So I'm always on my kids,
telling them if they don't brush their teeth
that they'll have cheese on their teeth
and they'll become yellow.
So I have a five-year-old
that really took this to heart
and unfortunately she went up
to a very close family member
and said you don't brush your teeth
because they're yellow
and they have cheese on them.
(laughing)
- So my question to you,
I was completely mortified
and my question to you is
have you ever said something to your kid
that you later wish that you hadn't
because they repeated it?
And then how do you get your kids to understand
that sometimes you know things
that are said in the household
need to stay in the household?
- Oh, when you know that answer let me know.
- Yeah let us know. (laughing)
- I'm gonna be honest here.
I told my, I just thought of this.
I thought, I don't really have it even and then.
My daughter became obsessed
when she was like four years old
about where she came from.
And I was like, Well,
I was like you are.
And then she started being nervous about death.
Like and I was like What is happening?
Like she was at four.
Like, I feel like that didn't
happen till like 10 for me, but whatever.
But anyway, she's advanced.
And she was talking about death
and all these things.
And I wanted her to feel like,
good about like not dying
or like anything like that.
And then also like,
well you are a part of mommy and then.
So you'll always have me.
So even if mommy dies like, I'm, you were a part
of me you were in mommy's tummy actually.
So like you were always a part of me
and like so that'll
never go away. - Aww.
- You're from my body.
So like you carry mommy on.
So, you know, in a sense
mommy will never die with you
because I'm a part of you.
And then she took that as in any woman
in the world regardless if
you have a stomach or not.
Walks up to and goes do you have a baby in there?
- Oh, yeah. - And just
doesn't matter who it is.
And just is very excited
that don't worry.
If you die, she's still gonna carry you on.
Like it's still, like,
and it's like you missed the point.
We shouldn't tell people that they're pregnant.
That's another one you should.
Yeah, that happens a lot.
- You know what,
my four year old was obsessed with death.
Both of our kids were obsessed with death
and they, when you're trying to explain it
you got to simplify it.
You know because it's too much
for them to handle.
So we had to explain
that grandpa Greg had died
and was no longer with us.
And then they were like Why?
And we're like cause he ate
too many cheeseburgers.
(laughing)
- If you go down the list of ailments he had
to be there they'd be lose focus.
So then like, every time we go somewhere,
they call him dead grandpa Greg.
And we feel like that's.
(laughing) - Oh my God.
- And you know, we're too. - Dead grandpa Greg.
- [Jane] It's accurate. - It's accurate.
They're not wrong he had an appetite
for a lot of things.
- [Kelly] Oh my gosh,
- My kids know that there's no baby in here,
but they'll come when I'm like
wearing my relaxing pants.
You know my loose evening pants and go.
There's a baby in there.
- [Kelly] Oh my God.
- It's a food baby, it's not.
- First of all, can we talk
that you just said loose, relaxed.
What did you call them?
Your loose evening pants.
- My comfy pants. (laughing)
- Your loose evening pants, I love it.
- My loose evening pants? - Yes.
- So I was like I love you.
Yours is fancy.
- Yeah, she has a very fancy name for them.
- I'm more like my lulu lemons
that I don't do yoga in. (audience clapping)
- So did you know if moms got paid
for raising kids they'd haul in
about $163,000 a year.
That Yeah, alas,
it pays in love.
And those tender moments
that you wish would last forever,
which is nice.
But the 160 grand would be cool
too just saying.
For now we've got our wine
and we're sipping it delicately,
like the sophisticated cleaners of
car sicknesses we are.
Let's dig back into some
of our best worst moments
as mothers with questions
from our house seat viewers.
So next question is from Heidi.
What's up Heidi?
- Hi, Kelly. - Hi.
- I am a mom of two,
I have a daughter Lux, six
and my son Hunter, who was four.
And I feel like one of the joys
of having a boy
is the nature pee, super convenient.
And so one afternoon we went to the beach
and a didn't have eyes on him for one second.
I look up on the bike path
and I just see a pair of juicy buns
staring back at me.
And I'm like ha,
not realizing he's mid pee.
I'm like Hunter!
He whips around sprays everything
in his path, including the elderly couple
on the bench next to him.
- Oh my, - And I realized then that
I was not clear
that a nature pee should be incognito.
So my question for you is where's the most
inopportune place your child had an accident and
how did you deal with it?
- First of all, I don't even know
what they're gonna say
but nothing will top what you just said.
- Yeah that's pretty bad.
- That is bad.
- Yeah. - And awesome.
What, do y'all have anything?
- Well, there was one
I made the mistake of trying to brag
about my son and I was like Jane,
my son is potty training so well.
And then we were in Jane's house and all
of a sudden I heard what sounded like water.
And I turned around and you talk
about meaty buns,
my husband or not my husband's.
- That would have been a really fun story.
(laughing)
- Listen he nature pees too, I'm gonna be honest.
(laughing)
- But my son's buns. - [Jane] That's where
they learn it.
- Yeah, my son's buns were behind me
and he's peeing into Jane's really nice planter.
- In my dining room. - In her dining room.
- Now I'm still picturing your son.
- I know. - I know.
- Listen my husband and he's a big, he's a Texan.
He's got meaty buns.
- I don't know that your husband has not peed
in a planter at my house. (laughing)
- I'm 100% sure that my husband
has peed in your yard. - Yeah.
- Because he doesn't want to deal with going
in your house. (laughing)
- I'm sure of it.
- So your son was just peeing in her plants?
- Yeah, because I was bragging about how great he
was doing potty training.
So he fully peed in her planter and like.
- It wasn't really in the planter.
It was more like he was
trying to show off some distance.
So it was like sort of across my dining room.
- Also you can't spook them because they turn.
- [Jane] Yes. - They like turn to
look at you and then they're.
- Luckily there aren't an elderly couple
in my dining room at the time so.
- [Kelly] Yeah, luckily.
- So, it was just all easy clean up.
- [Kelly] Oh my gosh.
- But we had another good one, didn't we?
when Delilah? - Oh I have,
my daughter barfs basically on command.
- [Kelly] What? - Like she can do it just
if she's unhappy but.
- [Kristen] You've never seen
anything like this?
- She. - Wow.
- Yes, so every time we travel
every single time we travel, she barfs.
And Kristen and I had her
in a stroller and we're in
O'Hare Airport in Chicago.
And she threw up,
- It looked like a pool noodle.
- Like a bunch of bananas.
It was like a long stream.
And we had been walking
for a while without noticing. - Yeah.
- That it has gone on.
(laughing)
- So, and nothing to clean it up with.
We just kept like slipping in it.
Like we were on a banana peel,
like we were doing a bend.
And we were like, oh. - [Jane] Someone needs
to clean this up.
- I know, oh, oh.
- She brings in like a random sock
and like a menu from Chili's Express to try
and like scoop everything up - [Kristen] No.
- And like make the area.
Moms should just carry like
a caution wet floor sign
with them everywhere.
- Yeah just like pop that sucker up
and be like clean up.
- Just so you're ready for those accidents.
- Oh my gosh. - [Jane] Yeah.
- What did you, this is what
I really want to know.
Did you just run away from it?
Or did you tell someone?
- We've got to try and clean it up.
- We tried to clean it up.
But you only have so many wet wipes
in your bag. (laughing)
- It's Chicago airport floor.
I'm sure I cleaned up like all sorts of stuff.
- [Jane] Something that we're
not responsible for.
- But you know what the truth is like,
accidents happen and they're never opportune,
right when they happen so. - Yeah.
- You just have to be there to help each other
and someday another mom's gonna have
her kid out having a nature pee
and maybe it'll be you that gets peed on
and then you're gonna be okay with it.
Because you're gonna be like
that's what we do, we support each other.
- Hand her some wet ones and.
- I think that's the advice right there
is like you look at everybody
and go you've never had
this moment? - [Jane] Right.
- Yeah, and you're like it's, it'll be your turn
one day and I'm not gonna judge you.
(laughing)
- That's, that's the advice.
