• 1:56
  Speaker 2: had it to every I know you're not sleeping right now.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: I know you're doing dirty diapers. You can't get your
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: laundry done, you can't clean your house, can't get the
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: dishes done because your focus is that baby. You're so tired.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: But would you do it again? I guarantee you ninety
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: nine point nine will say I would do it all
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: over again. The joy a child brings into your life, Yeah,
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: is so again.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: You've got your you've got a grand baby, yes, right,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: your son, new dad. They're just they've been parents for
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: just a year now, right, your grandbaby's just now year old, Tristan.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Is she happy?
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: She's more fulfilled than she's ever been in her life.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: She feels like she was born for this. And I'm
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: telling you, they are exhausted, you know, right, they are absolutely.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: You know, he's he's third year med school. She is teaching,
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: so there he's trying to study and help take care
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: of the baby. And it's all the stuff. So yes,
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: we all of us parents remember, it's exhausting. But that smile,
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: that first laugh, that the hug, the waking them, you know,
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: seeing them wake up and they reach for you, it
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: is everything. It gives you. It's our purpose in life.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: One of the things I've noticed is if there are
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: young parents who aren't happy, they weren't happy before the child.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: They were already not happy.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: And it's kind of like this, and I'll throw.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Out one coveyat on this, Okay, postpartum depression is a
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: real issue. It's you know, it's a hormonal issue that
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: comes on. Some women get it, some women don't. That
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: is something that yeah, we've got to get. You know,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: young moms who have postpartum depression. A lot of times
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: they are very slow to recognize that it's there, and
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: they're slow to get help. Once they get help, their
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: world changes. Right, Yes, so carving out postpartum depression, which
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: is a you know, a medical issue. Again, if they
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: aren't happy after having a baby, they weren't happy people
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: ahead of time, right.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: I agree Chapel Roone. When she said something like this,
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: it made me think about sometimes, not all the times,
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: but there are times when women will go out, you know,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: they'll go drink their wine, they'll start talking, they'll go
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: to someone's house. There might be you know, six to
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: eight of them around, you know, the coffee table, and
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: they're on the couches. They're just enjoying each other. They
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: trust each other. And one starts to talk about maybe
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: how her husband drives are crazy in this way? And
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: then it's kind of a little contagion. Well you think
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: that's bad. Mind this and you go around the room.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: You know that it's a vault. You know it's not
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: going to go anywhere. You know, everyone's not going to
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: hold against the husband. But everybody kind of goes around
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: slamming their husband for some reason. You know, this happens
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: every now and then. Yeah, and you just it's like
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: you laugh about it and you get it out and
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: you know, but it is a little contagion. So I
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: can just picture whoever she's around, right, if she says,
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: you know, so and so said that, it is like
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: she wishes she had not done this. This is crazy,
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: you know. I can see a little contagion there because
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: she looks like she might be somebody that surrounds herself
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: with like minded people. Sure, and I think she said
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: that she and her girlfriend are not in that place
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: where the or even thinking about kids, right, So I
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: don't know who they're hanging around, but I guarantee you
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: whoever it is that she's talking about, if she asks
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: them the question would you do it again?
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Would you do it again?
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: You know, same child, they would say, oh my god,
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: this is I would not I would give my life
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: for this child, right, I jump in front of a
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: train for this child.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: But this is one of the things the left does,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: is the left talks down about parenthood and talks down
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: about children. The left is in favor of abortion. They're
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: not in favor of the nuclear family, which, by the way,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: generally we've had studies that are shown women are much
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: happier in a nuclear family than in other types of relationships.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: The left talks down about this and then they're surprised
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: that they're not happy.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they talk about how you know a lot of
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: ladies like this end up being old cat ladies, right,
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: And they said, the reason is they end up with
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: cats as cats don't need their attention, they don't need
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: anything from them, so of course they're going to have
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: a cat. So maybe that's one of those things where
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: they don't they just want to be selfish in this lifetime.
