TENS OF MILLIONS OF VIEWS ON THEIR YOUTUBE VIDEOS AND OVER HALF A MILLION FOLLOWERS ON
INSTAGRAM CAT AND MATTER THE
CANADIAN MOBS TURN SOCIAL MEDIA
COMEDIANS.
THEIR GOAL IS TO CONNECT WITH
OTHER PARENTS WHO ARE IN THE
THICK OF RAISING KIDS.
WE CHATTED ABOUT A BRAND NEW
APP THAT THEY'VE PARTNERED WITH
AND HOW WE ARE ALL SURVIVING
PARENTING IN A PANDEMIC.
YOU KNOW WHAT'S NOT OKAY.
>> THEY SAID THAT IF MY KIDS
DROPPED OUT OF SCHOOL THEY
WOULD BE OK.
GUESS WHAT?
THEY GOT A THAT IS NOT OKAY.
THEY ARE KNOWN FOR THEIR
HILARIOUS MOM TRUITT'S AND
THEIR HONESTY ABOUT PARENTING
CAT NET.
>> MY SISTERS MOTHER MISTER'S
ARE JOINING US THIS AFTERNOON.
FIRST OF ALL, LADIES, HOW ARE
YOU HOLDING UP?
>> I LITERALLY HEARD ON THE
NEWS TODAY.
HOPE IT HAS HIT WOMEN THE
HARDEST BEFORE EVEN NEWS .
THAT'S CALLED FAK HOLDING UP
THE BEST THAT WE CAN AND WE
HAVE TO BECAUSE WE HAVE SEVEN
LITTLE FACES LOOKING AT US AND
SAYING MOMMY, IS EVERYTHING OK?
OF COURSE IT IS.
>> THEY SAID EXTRA SCREEN TIME
WAS GOING TO BE OK.
BUT NOW MY KIDS ARE SO ADIC
THAT WHEN I ASK THEM TO GET OFF
LITERAL BREAKS LOOSE.
I LOVE YOUR LATEST VIDEO THAT
SOMETIMES EVERYTHING IS JUST
NOT OK.
>> IT GETS NOT OK FOR OUR KIDS
TO HAVE THIS MUCH SCREEN TIME
DESPITE WHAT WE'VE BEEN TOLD.
>> HOW COME THEY KNOW EVERY
SINGLE FORTNIGHT.
THAT IS NOT OKAY.
>> SOMETIMES I LOOK AT THEM AND
I'M JUST LIKE I DON'T WANT YOU
TO BE ON THAT GAME ANYMORE.
BUT I I DO NEED TO FINISH ZUN
CALL AND I NEED TO MAKE YOU
DINNER.
SO IT'S LIKE I DON'T REALLY
KNOW YOU RIGHT NOW.
DO YOU JUST WORRY ABOUT LIKE
THE LONG TERM RAMIFICATIONS ON
OUR KIDS?
LIKE WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO BE
LIKE IN THE FUTURE THANKS TO
THIS MOMENT IN TIME?
NEVER HAD A JOB THOUGH.
>> THE KID DOESN'T GO TO HIGH
SCHOOL KOVIK KID JUST ROAMS THE
STREETS AND SITS IN PARK KILL
THE KID.
>> NO EXPERT DONE THIS.
SO WE'RE JUST HOPING FOR THE
BEST.
YOU KNOW, THEY KNOW WHAT
THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT BUT
THEY'VE NEVER DONE IT.
AND WHEN OUR KIDS FALL APART
WHEN THEY GET OLDER THEY'LL BE
LIKE THAT WAS A KID WITH KIDS,
YOU KNOW, NOBODY KNEW WHAT THEY
WERE DOING.
THOSE KIDS AT THE TIME WOULD
GET.
I WORRY ABOUT THAT.
I MEAN POTENTIAL EMPLOYERS THAT
I KNOW THE.
>> IT'S COVERED KID.
YOU KNOW, I MEAN THERE'S NO
GENTA JEN KOVEN.
HONESTLY WE DO WORRY ABOUT THAT
TOO.
OBVIOUSLY WE LOVE TO LAUGH
ABOUT BEING MOMS AND PARENTING
AND ALL THAT BUT WE WORRY ABOUT
THE SCREENTIME AND WHAT THEY'RE
CONSUMING AND THAT'S EXACTLY
WHY WE PARTNERED WITH FANSHAW
WHICH IS EDUCATIONAL APP FOR
KIDS WHERE IT'S ACTUAL VETTED
TEACHERS.
AND THE PEOPLE WITH THEM ARE
PARENTS AND TEACHERS.
YOU KNOW A LOT OF EDUCATIONAL
APPS HAVE BEEN THROWN MY WAY
AND MY KIDS REALLY NEED IT.
I'D RATHER BE ON FORTNIGHT BUT
IF YOUR KIDS ARE UNDER THIS
MAYBE MINE WILL TOO.
YOU KNOW, IT IS DEFINITELY AN
AGE OF PRE-K TO GRADE FORCE ON
MUCH.
>> SURE.
YOUR TWELVE YEAR OLD THEY'RE
STILL GOING TO WANT FOR A
NIGHT.
THAT'S WHAT 12 YEAR OLDS GOING
TO LOVE ME.
I LOVE BUT THE YOUNGER ONE THE
YOUNGER ONES ARE HELP YOURSELF.
>> WHAT HAVE YOU BROUGHT UP AND
WHAT ARE YOUR LATEST VIDEOS
THAT YOU FEEL LIKE YOU ARE ON
THE HAMSTER WHEEL OF MOM
GUILT'S?
HOW ARE YOU DOING WITH THAT?
BECAUSE I THINK WE CAN ALL
RELATE.
I DIDN'T GO TO THE VIRTUAL ZOO
TODAY.
>> I DIDN'T DO ANY ON LEARNING
.
I DIDN'T MAKE THEM THE MEAL
WITH CUTOUT ANIMALS OUT OF BED
AT NIGHT.
>> YOU THINK ABOUT ALL THE
THINGS THAT YOU COULD'VE
DIFFERENTLY AND DURING THIS
TIME I MEAN THERE'S SO MUCH
UNKNOWN THAT YOU DO SECOND
GUESS THAT WE FEEL LIKE WE PUT
IT OUT THERE AND WE SAY THEN
HOPEFULLY WE CAN RELIEVE
SOMEONE WHO THOUGHT SHE WAS THE
ONLY ONE WHO WAS FEELING THAT
WAY.
>> WORDS OF WISDOM, A LITTLE
ADVICE AND TRY TO ENJOY THE
MOMENTS RATHER THAN, YOU KNOW,
TRYING TO MAKE UP FOR WHAT WHAT
MOMENTS AREN'T.
AND THEY'LL PROBABLY BEST
HOLIDAY SEASON EVER BECAUSE
THEY DON'T HAVE TO TALK TO
PEOPLE THEY DON'T REALLY KNOW
AND YOU ONLY SEE ONCE A YEAR.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
I KNOW YOU WANT TO FEEL GOOD
ABOUT YOURSELF AS A PARENT.
JUST FOLLOW US.
YEAH, I GOT.
>> YEAH.
I'LL BE GOOD TO GET IN THAT.
I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR KEEPING
US SMILING AND LAUGHING NO
MATTER WHAT'S GOING ON AND FOR
BEING SO DARN RELATABLE.
>> THANK YOU.
>> KEEPING IT REAL.
OH MY.
DOESN'T IT FEEL GOOD TO KNOW
THAT YOU'RE NOT ALONE IN ALL OF
THIS?
WELL, I KIND OF GO UNDER THE
SAME THING FEELING MOM GUILT
AND THE BURDENS OF TRYING TO
JUGGLE EVERYTHING AT HOME AT
