• 0:04
  Speaker 1: own kids. Let's ask our American mama's mama Mama.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: And joining us now our.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: American mama Terry Netderville. Okay, there's a podcast. It's called
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: the I've Had It Podcast features two women, and I'm
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: just going to start. I understand this is sexist, but
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: as a man, if there's a I'm told there's a
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: podcast featuring two women and it's I've Had It is
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: the title, I have no desire to listen to that
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: podcast in any way, shape or form. I do not
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: need to listen to two women go oh, I've had it.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: I'm like, I could, I couldn't know. I don't need
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: this anyway. One of the hosts Angie Sullivan, let me
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: just read the quote. If you don't mine, she said,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: I just think homeschooling is a bad idea from soup
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: to nuts. I don't care if you're a nuclear physicist.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: I think it's just effing weird as f that you
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: want your kids around you all day, every day, and
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: all night. So I don't trust somebody that wants to
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: be with their kids. Twenty four seven. I think a
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: lot of dumb people do it because it's just easier.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: And that's a concern. Okay, do you like being around
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: your kids a door?
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: Being around my children, even when they were little, I
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: wanted them to come on our trips. You know a
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: lot of people, which is fine, they take their couples trips.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: We wanted ours with us. We just have so much fun.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: And my parents were the same way. So when you
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: hear her say this, and those will know her partner
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: is Jennifer Welch. She's the one that not only does
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: she hate Trump, but she literally hates all of us.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: She wishes ill on every single one of us that
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: voted for him. She has made no bones about that, right.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: And so her sidekick, you know, Jennifer's cut like that
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: mean girl in school, you know, like she's got her
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: wannabes beside her. Well, Angie is the wanna bee.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: So what she does is she's constantly trying to please
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: the mean girl by saying like the most crazy, vile things.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: And the mean girls just nods, and she like she was.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Sitting there with her hand on her cheek like hmm, yes,
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: that's interesting, and I can't stand it was so funny
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: because when I actually saw her, I thought, you and
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: I would never be friends. Never. My friends, my closest,
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: dearest friends, are those who love being a mom. They
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: love being around their children. And she said, I think
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: it's weird that people want to homeschool. It's just easier.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: It's easier than sending them to school. I thought, lady,
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: are you high. Yeah, it's easier to homeschool than it
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: is to just send them off to schools.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: As a parent who actually did home that's right. So
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: we had one of our kids that went through public
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: school a the way through that, we had another one
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: that we started homeschooling at middle school and then on.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: And no, it's not necessarily easier to homeschool. I mean,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: you've taken on more responsibility. If you don't feel the
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: weight of that responsibility, you're doing it wrong.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah. She's clearly so wrong about this, But I was thinking,
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: I really do like everybody, you know, I'm just one
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: of those I can find some endearing quality about somebody,
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: even if they are completely, you know, opposite of me
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: in every way.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: And I appreciate you overlooking my flash.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: I do. I do Stephen. But there I really do
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: can I can find things that are endearing. If I
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: was with a group of women and one of them
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: said this, in my mind, I would immediately think, okay,
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: arms length, I don't want anything to do with her.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: I don't want to be around her. That kind of
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: toxic thinking is so unhealthy talks think. I think that
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: if you want your children to be healthy and happy,
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: you do want to spend time with them, you do
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: want them to spend time with you. But here, let
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: me tell you something. This is crazy. I was driving
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: up here to the studio and in the I was
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: at the stoplight at Flora Lucas and I never really
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: do this, but there was a car in front of
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: me and it had like a little bumper sticker like
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: in the window, and it said SAW one twenty seven
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: three five. Okay, And for whatever reason, I put that
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: in my phone in my notes.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: I'll go look at it.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, to the parking lot. This is what it said.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: It said. Psalm one seven three five describes children as
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: a divine blessing and a source of strength. It states
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: that offspring are a reward from God likens them to
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: arrows a warrior can launch into the world for impact
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: and calls the man who's quivers full of them truly blessed.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: In other words, children are not viewed as a burden,
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: but rather as a precious inheritance and a gift from God.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: You saw that in the in a window of a car,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: just before pulling.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: Out, right before he pulled up, right before he pulled.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Up, knowing that this is what we're going to talk you.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this is when you know it's a God thing. Wow.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: And it goes on to say that children raised well
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: are meant to be carefully formed and sent out into
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: the world to make an impact, much like sharpened arrows.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: That is how I view my position as a mother
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: in this world.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: I am to help bring these children that God has
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: given me and help them and guide them to a
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: place where they can be good, honest citizens of this
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: world and have a great impact, a good impact, a
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: loving impact, a christ Like impact on this world.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: And the biblical admonition is parents, raise your children, teach
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: your children, parents, teach your children. Yes, it doesn't say
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: government body teach the parents' kids.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: So for this woman to say I don't trust she
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: added this part, I don't trust any mom that wants
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: to be with her children that much. Yeah, lady, you've
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: got it all wrong. And I'm sorry for you because
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: you're missing out on the greatest gift God could ever
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: give you.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: And I think back to that Ted Lasso where they
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: miss quote Walt Whitman. The credits it to Walt Whitman.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: It's not whit women saying be curious, not judgmental. She
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: was clearly judgmental, right, and not curious about why someone
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: would want to think that homeschooling might be a better
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: option for their kids.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: Wow.
