>>> AND WELCOME BACK TO THE
THIRD HOUR OF "TODAY."
"OVERHEARD ON 3rd.
SO WE TALK ABOUT THIS
CORONAVIRUS THING.
A WRITER FOR POP SUGAR SAYS SHE
AND HER HUSBAND HAVE BEEN
PARENTING IN SHIFTS AND THAT’S
HELPED THEM BECOME MORE PATIENT
WITH THEIR KIDS AND APPRECIATIVE
OF EACH OTHER.
I’M GOING TO START BECAUSE I’VE
GOT TO GIVE PROPS TO DEBORAH
MY SON NICK WHO’S IN HIGH
SCHOOL, THEY HAVE AN ASSIGNMENT
TO READ "LITTLE WOMEN.
I WOULD RATHER PUT STEEL SPIKES
IN MY HEAD THAN READ THAT.
AND THEY’RE ALTERNATING
CHAPTERS
I HEAR THEM.
RIGHT NOW HE’S AT LUNCH AND HE’S
READING.
IT’S LIKE 47 CHAPTERS.
AND YOU KNOW WHAT?
NICK AND I DO THE COOKING THING.
BUT DEBORAH IS DOING THAT.
AND IT HAS -- I HAVE THIS
AMAZING APPRECIATION FOR WHAT
SHE’S DOING.
BUT "B," I THINK THAT’S HER
WHEEL HOUSE.
THERE YOU GO
>> I THINK YOU HAVE TO STICK TO
YOUR STRENGTHS
YOU KNOW, I ALWAYS COOK DINNER
IN THE HOUSE
I SAID TO BRIAN THE OTHER DAY,
YOU KNOW, WHEN I GIVE YOU THE
TWO KIDS WHEN I COOK DINNER IT’S
NOT BECAUSE I’M TRYING TO ESCAPE
DOING ANYTHING WITH THE KIDS
IT’S BECAUSE I’M PROVIDING
DINNER FOR OUR FAMILY.
HE’S LIKE, ABSOLUTELY.
I LOOK FORWARD TO THAT TIME
BECAUSE IT’S WHEN OLLI IS HAPPY
AND LAY THERE IS
AND CALVIN PLAYS VIDEO GAMES
I’M COOKING DINNER
CALVIN AND BRIAN ARE PLAYING
GOLF ON THE PLAYSTATION AND
KOLLIE IS KICKING AROUND
IN THE MORNING, BRIAN TAKES CAL
VIN IN THE OTHER ROOM FOR
SCHOOL
YOU NEED THOSE MOMENTS TO
YOURSELF TO DO YOUR OWN THING.
>> SHEINELLE, WHAT DO YOU DO
WITH ALL THOSE KIDS?
>> THERE ARE EIGHT OF THEM
>> THREE
MIGHT AS WELL BE EIGHT
>> WE DECIDED ON SATURDAY.
SHOUT OUT TO ALL THE SINGLE MOMS
AND DADS OUT THERE
MY MOM WAS SINGLE FOR A GOOD
CHUNK OF TIMES
I HAVE CALLED HER MANY TIMES
SAYING HOW DID YOU DO THIS
I WAS IN EVERY ACTIVITY KNOWN TO
MAN.
SO WAS MY BROTHER.
ANYWAY, RIGHT NOW MY HUSBAND
JUST TOOK OVER BECAUSE MY SON,
MY YOUNGEST SON IS HAVING A LIVE
PARENT LUNCH
WE USED TO HAVE THESE END OF
SCHOOL YEAR LIVE LUNCHES WHERE
YOU WOULD GO
NOW THEY’RE DOING IT VIRTUALLY
AND I WAS SITTING THERE LOOKING
AT THE CLOCK KNOWING I HAD TO DO
THIS
SO I’M TEXTING MY HUSBAND IN THE
ROOM, YOU HAVE TO RELIEVE ME SO
MY KID ISN’T THE ONE --
>> THERE HE IS NOW
OF COURSE HE’S GOT ON SHORTS
>> YEAH.
>> HOW ABOUT YOU AND LINDSEY,
CRAIG?
>> HE’S ON LIVE TV
>> SHE’S TRYING TO MOVE ME
LIKE, NO
I’M NOT MOVING
IT’S LIKE THE OLD WOMAN IN THE
SHOE
>> DOING A GREAT JOB OF
SPLITTING UP THE PARENTING TIME.
REALLY GOOD.
FANTASTIC.
>> EVERYBODY GO AWAY
>> CRAIG
>> I COULD WATCH THIS FOR FIVE
MORE MINUTES
WITH US LINDSEY TAKES THEM IN
THE MORNING BECAUSE I’M IN THE
STUDIO
I HAVE TO COME BACK AND DO THE
CABLE SHOW
AND THEN AFTER THAT, SOMETIMES
I’LL HAVE A ZOOM SHOOT LIKE
THIS
BUT I SPEND A LOT OF MY DAYS
TRYING TO GET AWAY FROM MY
CHILDREN
>> STOP.
THAT’S NOT TRUE.
>> AND HIDING FROM THEM.
NO
I USUALLY TAKE OVER IN THE
AFTERNOON WHILE LINDSEY WILL
WORK ON DINNER, DO SOMETHING
ELSE
I USUALLY PICK UP THE AFTERNOON
SHIFT.
IT’S THE ONLY WAY TO DO IT RIGHT
NOW.
IT’S THE ONLY WAY TO DO IT
AND AT NIGHT WE -- SHE’LL PUT
ONE DOWN AND I’LL PUT ONE DOWN
>> WHAT TIME IS BED?
>> WHAT TIME SHOULD THEY BE
GOING TO BED
