5:39
Jessica Shere Coggins: the only good thing is

6:12
Samantha Shere Sharpe: nipping? Stormy nips,
6:15

6:16
Jessica Shere Coggins: know I can pronounce his name.
6:18
Samantha Shere Sharpe: Berkeley bites. Like dragged her by the neck the other day.
6:22

6:36
Samantha Shere Sharpe: No animals. She's really cute.
6:37
Jessica Shere Coggins: You enjoy that one. Okay.
6:39
Melissa Shere Beek: Challenges with kids instead of animals. Are there new challenges now that that they're older? Or is it a little easier? Why?
6:49
Jessica Shere Coggins: I think you have to start watching over other things than you did in the past when they were younger.
6:54
Melissa Shere Beek: Like?
6:56
Jessica Shere Coggins: I don't know. I mean, I think all the years kinda conform them, but I think high school really solidifies a lot more. Yeah. So I gotta wait and see.
7:05
Melissa Shere Beek: Bigger kids, bigger problems? Not in your house?
7:08
Jessica Shere Coggins: You're just different problems.
7:09
Melissa Shere Beek: Yeah.
7:10
Jessica Shere Coggins: You know? Yeah. It's just different. They're older, it's different. I
7:14
Samantha Shere Sharpe: think middle school, they're so naive, and high school, they're
7:17
Jessica Shere Coggins: so a little bit more mature.
7:18
Melissa Shere Beek: Yeah. And also more But boys freedom in aren't as
7:21
Jessica Shere Coggins: bitchy as the girls are. No. No. Boys aren't. No.
7:24
But I think it's gonna be a big change from going from middle school to high school.
7:28
Samantha Shere Sharpe: Did every did all of his friends go over to the high school? A a lot. A good portion. Where did the other ones go?
7:36
Jessica Shere Coggins: Maybe somewhere at Westminster, somewhere at Berlin. I
7:39
Melissa Shere Beek: don't know
7:40
Jessica Shere Coggins: how many went to Gulliver and ran some. Maybe like just a handful. Interesting. A lot of them are coming came over.
7:46
Melissa Shere Beek: Were they excited this morning when they all left the house?
7:49
Samantha Shere Sharpe: Oh my god. Mine was up at 05:30.
7:50
Jessica Shere Coggins: Mine was up early too, but Meyer, it just was like, just get up and wet. Yeah. He'd probably need the the
7:57
Samantha Shere Sharpe: hair done and the crown on and the No.
8:00
Jessica Shere Coggins: Was probably so tired. On
8:02
Samantha Shere Sharpe: and yeah.
8:03
Melissa Shere Beek: Is he cool as a freshman now because his sister is a senior? So like, you
8:07
Jessica Shere Coggins: know, they're gonna lay
8:08
Melissa Shere Beek: off of him a little bit.
8:10
Samantha Shere Sharpe: I'm sure he really is happy that his sister is like
8:12
Jessica Shere Coggins: I think it would help him a lot. That's why I didn't feel bad about him coming in the night before.
8:18
Melissa Shere Beek: Right.
8:18
Jessica Shere Coggins: Because I felt like she would kinda make it a little bit easier, show him where the classes are, because he had no idea where anything was. Any of his friends have seniors? Yes. Really. Uh-huh.
8:29
Melissa Shere Beek: Oh, that's cool then. So there's like a select group of freshmen that are sort of like
8:33
Jessica Shere Coggins: Yes.
8:34
Melissa Shere Beek: I love that. Yeah. There posing cons now that your kids are older?
8:38
Jessica Shere Coggins: I don't know yet. We'll find out.
8:40
Melissa Shere Beek: Sam? Oh.
8:42
Jessica Shere Coggins: Is this think your we last get one? Closer.
8:43
Samantha Shere Sharpe: The thing is is that unfortunately, I didn't get to experience this all with Stella.
8:49
Melissa Shere Beek: Yeah yeah yeah.
8:50
Jessica Shere Coggins: I thought about This is like,
8:52
Samantha Shere Sharpe: I'm living so vicariously through Brea. Like, it's I'm like, all the milestones are like
8:58
Melissa Shere Beek: Yeah.
8:58
Jessica Shere Coggins: Yeah, I was thinking about that. You didn't get to go through that last time. Now you get to.
9:02
Samantha Shere Sharpe: Yeah. I mean, well, they didn't do paint the spot back when Stella was a senior. That started last year, so that's new. But the Earn Your Red, Stella didn't do going to school today with your red shirt on. I didn't don't think she did that.
9:18
I can't remember.
9:19
Melissa Shere Beek: I don't remember, I forgot completely.
9:22
Samantha Shere Sharpe: I don't think she did that. I don't yeah, so all of this is
9:28
Melissa Shere Beek: New. New. And exciting. Yeah. Is there a shift in your parenting styles now that they're independent and driving?
9:34
I mean not Meyer but like now that your girls are driving and they've But driving two is there a shift in the way that you parent?
9:44
Samantha Shere Sharpe: I think for me there's a shift in it's not as intense as junior year was of Oh, that's a hard Such the hard courses and starting the ACT. I mean, she's still taking the ACT. She's gonna take it till they tell her she can't take it anymore. She wants that perfect score.
10:00
Melissa Shere Beek: That's our Brea.
10:02
Samantha Shere Sharpe: So It is. I mean, she's in a major boot camp right now. She go yesterday, she was at ACT tutoring from from 02:30 to 07:30 and then ran right down to soccer practice till nine. I I don't know this girl. But I feel like a load, it's a lot less pressure for me as a parent.
10:23
Melissa Shere Beek: Gonna say I pressure on you guys or pressure on the kids?
10:26
Jessica Shere Coggins: I hope both. Right.
10:27
Samantha Shere Sharpe: No pressure on her, which means no pressure on me. Right. Now it's just gonna come down to applying and making sure everything's done. But we both hired somebody to be on top of them.
10:37
Melissa Shere Beek: Wow. We
10:38
Samantha Shere Sharpe: can just be moms.
10:39
Melissa Shere Beek: Wow. Right?
10:40
Jessica Shere Coggins: What are you like? She's holding in the tears. No. I'm not. I'm totally fine.
10:45
I'm quiet today. I don't know why.
10:46
Melissa Shere Beek: You're still sleeping.
10:48
Jessica Shere Coggins: I a little bit.
10:49
Melissa Shere Beek: What surprised you the most as they aged? They they came like young adults.
10:53
Jessica Shere Coggins: I think to me, what what really transpired for me was I know when they say you're young, they watch everything you do. But as they've gotten older, like, I can catch specific things that they've caught on to that they do. It's it's amazing.
11:13
Melissa Shere Beek: Like mimicking you.
11:14
Jessica Shere Coggins: Yeah. Like, you'll hear something from them, and you're like, oh my god. I said that, like, four years ago. Like and they'll
11:19
Melissa Shere Beek: You planted the seeds.
11:21
Jessica Shere Coggins: And they actually really do. Like, they'll say, it's great. It's great. It's like, wow. You know, you had some sort of effect to who they are, whether good or bad or whether indifferent.
11:31
I notice that a lot.
11:32
Melissa Shere Beek: I love that.
11:33
Jessica Shere Coggins: As they get older.
11:34
Melissa Shere Beek: And Sam?
11:35
Samantha Shere Sharpe: I forgot what the question was.
11:37
Melissa Shere Beek: Can you repeat the What surprised you the most about, like, them becoming adults?
11:43
Jessica Shere Coggins: I think we're both really tired.
11:44
Melissa Shere Beek: I think you're both still asleep.
11:50
Jessica Shere Coggins: Not that it surprised me.
11:53
Samantha Shere Sharpe: I think I would say more that I'm happy. Like, for Brea, she's had this wave of friends. And her I I mean, I can say that her friends are the friends that she's, I guess, had a long, long time ago. And I'm gonna cry, No, don't
12:11
Jessica Shere Coggins: cry. It's all good
12:13
Samantha Shere Sharpe: it's she's back with her cousin, you know? And they are so polar opposite that But that's why it works.
12:22
Melissa Shere Beek: Right. It's I think the balance. That's the beginning. So many
12:26
Jessica Shere Coggins: years, I was so scared that they would be so competitive.
12:29
Samantha Shere Sharpe: Because I knew Bria was competitive, but I didn't
12:32
Melissa Shere Beek: I didn't with herself
12:33
Jessica Shere Coggins: a lot.
12:34
Samantha Shere Sharpe: She is competitive with herself. But I also she's tough. She's mean. She can really like but the two of them have really like I mean, a picture we got.
12:42
Jessica Shere Coggins: This morning, she sent Bria sent to the whole group chat with just the two of them.
12:46
Samantha Shere Sharpe: And it just like melted my heart.
12:49
Melissa Shere Beek: Did you see the one I sent back?
12:50
Jessica Shere Coggins: They have each other. It's really nice to be able to know that.
12:54
Melissa Shere Beek: Right. That that's their foundation is the two of them. They can always be friends and there's an ebb and flow to it, but they balance each other and have each other as total support.
13:03
Samantha Shere Sharpe: But I also see these friends, know, they're Beylyn's friends, that they've really They're everyone's friends. Yeah, but they've just nothing, no time has stopped in between. They just
13:17
Jessica Shere Coggins: Yeah. It hasn't.
13:18
Samantha Shere Sharpe: Like, it just was like yeah. I I don't know how to explain it. I just
13:24
Jessica Shere Coggins: I hope she deserves to have a good year with her friends. She does. Yeah. She definitely does. I look at her and I'm like, You're gonna enjoy this year.
13:32
Yeah. I think
13:33
Melissa Shere Beek: they're both gonna gonna enjoy this better
13:35
Jessica Shere Coggins: enjoy this year, Brea. You better
13:36
Samantha Shere Sharpe: take advantage. I know.
13:38
Melissa Shere Beek: I think when she gets her applications in, she will. Because that's just like, I think, in her mind, the last thing on her check off list.
13:44
Jessica Shere Coggins: Well, not till she gets in somewhere. Right.
13:46
Melissa Shere Beek: Yes, but that's out of her control. I'm talking about the things that she can have control over, like submitting stuff. Yeah. And so I feel like once she does the things that she has control over and she checks them off, then it's out in the universe. And then she
13:59
Jessica Shere Coggins: It's a waiting game.
14:00
Samantha Shere Sharpe: I've told her don't put the pressure on where you're ED ing that that's gonna be your school because you have to be realistic. You have so many great, great options that it's just because she has a chance to ED, that's okay and that's cool and you can go for that, but don't set your heart on that.
14:21
Melissa Shere Beek: It's also not where you start, it's where you end up. So everything that might look look great on paper or great when you visit may not be great when you're living there. And so you can transfer and you can be like, Nothing is set
14:32
Jessica Shere Coggins: in I
14:33
Melissa Shere Beek: always tell my kids, It's all flexible.
14:35
Samantha Shere Sharpe: Do you know that Michigan this year is not doing great for freshmen, first semester?
14:40
Jessica Shere Coggins: Yeah, they're doing pass fail.
14:41
Melissa Shere Beek: Really? Why?
14:42
Jessica Shere Coggins: To take off the mental health pressure.
14:44
Melissa Shere Beek: Oh. Okay.
14:46
Jessica Shere Coggins: I like it. That's what
14:48
Samantha Shere Sharpe: a lot
14:48
Jessica Shere Coggins: of parents are saying. Why not? Yeah. Why not? Let them adjust school.
14:53
Samantha Shere Sharpe: See what it
14:53
Melissa Shere Beek: affects Well, at least for the schools are listening about mental
14:55
Samantha Shere Sharpe: But health they don't have
14:56
Jessica Shere Coggins: to remake that semester, do I
14:58
Samantha Shere Sharpe: don't know.
14:59
Melissa Shere Beek: No. Why would they
15:00
Jessica Shere Coggins: remake because they need the credits. I guess you still get the
15:02
Melissa Shere Beek: kids'

15:08
Melissa Shere Beek: Well, law school will have to adjust.
15:10
Jessica Shere Coggins: But at
15:10
Melissa Shere Beek: least they're listening to the kids' mental health. Is there anything you don't worry about anymore? Mm-mm. More worries?
15:17
Jessica Shere Coggins: Oh, yeah. Different worries. Different worries. Not so much about getting that five or that four in AP anymore. That's done.
15:26
Getting those, I feel like junior years that AP got to take this one and that one and this one and that one. I feel
15:33
Samantha Shere Sharpe: like this year it's just like
15:34
Jessica Shere Coggins: okay I'm not going to take AP Calc BC, I'm just going to take AB. Know, feel like that pressure's

18:03
Samantha Shere Sharpe: call me too. Okay.

You were going to bed. Well, I had children, and so it was different. Yeah. But I don't think you ever understood the timing of calls anyways because when I would be like, you know this.

Melissa Shere Beek: Yeah.
21:01
Jessica Shere Coggins: Things like that.

22:15
Jessica Shere Coggins: How do you know that though? How can you tell it's still in charger?

24:13
Samantha Shere Sharpe: he'll go to bed. I don't wanna say what I I don't wanna answer that question because I don't want Mason to hold me to whatever I might say.
24:20
Melissa Shere Beek: You can
24:20

24:41
God. Scared what he's
24:43
Jessica Shere Coggins: gonna say.
24:44
Melissa Shere Beek: No. I think he's very excited because I think it's going to for him, it's validation that people can actually see like, stories he tells are really true
24:55
Jessica Shere Coggins: ones. Yeah. Because they don't believe
24:57
Samantha Shere Sharpe: me. Because he sees it from a different perspective.
25:00
Melissa Shere Beek: Well, that's so I have a whole bunch of questions
25:02
Samantha Shere Sharpe: for him about
25:03
Melissa Shere Beek: the perspective because he's I mean outside of This gonna
25:08
Samantha Shere Sharpe: blow up because of him.

25:50
Jessica Shere Coggins: Yes. True.
25:50
Melissa Shere Beek: Okay. Last last in this, and then we can go to quickie questions. But the biggest lesson that your children have taught you as they've gotten older.
25:57
Samantha Shere Sharpe: Oh, Jesus. Patience, resilience, that they know what they're doing even though I think that they don't. I don't know if
26:10
Melissa Shere Beek: that makes sense. It makes sense because in your head you have a vision of how
26:13
Jessica Shere Coggins: But you thought that people
26:14
Melissa Shere Beek: their world and their choices are different.
26:17
Samantha Shere Sharpe: I I have three totally different kids. So it's like
26:21
Melissa Shere Beek: Oh, yeah.

26:47
Samantha Shere Sharpe: at school. Like, it's 11:03. She had to be at school at eleven. I pick up the phone. I call her.
26:52
And she's like, mom, where's my key? And I'm like, I have it. And she's like, what am I gonna do? And she actually was so calm. I called my mother-in-law.
27:02
She called a friend. A friend, I called this one. She didn't answer. What's new?
27:06
Melissa Shere Beek: Yeah. Was just gonna say, why did you even bother that one? She's not gonna pick up. Nobody called me.

27:36
Jessica Shere Coggins: And she gets in the car
27:37
Samantha Shere Sharpe: and I'm like, can I say something to you without you getting upset? You know, like I have to like be very careful with my words for him. Like, you handled that key situation really well. I say this to Brea. Like, because she could have really, like, reamed me out.
27:52
Sure. Pulled your
27:53
Melissa Shere Beek: head off.
27:53
Samantha Shere Sharpe: Yeah. Yeah. Mom, why did you do that? You should check your purse before you leave the house. I mean, like, it could have been a plethora of things of like, it's your fault.
28:00
I'm late for school. And it's like, I have to be careful in my word choices with her, where Stella I'm like Stella would be like, okay, mom. Don't worry. I'll just figure it out. Like The
28:12
Melissa Shere Beek: other blondie.
28:13
Samantha Shere Sharpe: So I you know, I've learned how to be careful with my words with each kid.
28:18
Melissa Shere Beek: To navigate them.
28:19
Jessica Shere Coggins: To navigate Yeah. I get what you mean by that. Also the same time, I
28:24

Samantha Shere Sharpe: guess in this situation too, like, I really have like
28:49
Melissa Shere Beek: You're less reactive.
28:50
Samantha Shere Sharpe: I I have to be because I feel like our whole lives have always been a knee jerk reaction because that's how we've always been. And I feel like our kids are have less of the need that I need to step back and have less.
29:03
Melissa Shere Beek: Right.
29:04
Samantha Shere Sharpe: Right? Yeah. Yeah. But I was impressed with you. Yeah.
29:07
Jessica Shere Coggins: But you do other things that I'm impressed of. I know. It just I would have wished you'd be I would have picked up that phone and been like,
29:13
Samantha Shere Sharpe: but you like really thought about it. Like now I'm now because of that, I'm going to handle the situation. Like
