I started therapy for the first time in my life after listening to their previous episode together. It has been very helpful. Thanks ladies for always keeping it tight
To touch on when people should speak to their children about sexuality or more specifically homosexuality and transexuality, I think varies on the children. As a gay man with nieces and nephews we never had to have a conversation about it, it just was. I freely brought partners around my family and they were just brought up to know that you're allowed to love whomever you love. So there was never any type of awkwardness or confusion with the children in my family. Kids are smarter than people give them credit for and if you're matter of fact about it, they understand. It's not as confusing as people try and make it.
This is exactly how it was with one of my aunts growing up. I never questioned or thought it was weird that she was married (though not legally) to a woman. It was only when I got older that I understood some people had an issue with it. Both of them were among my favorite of my aunts & uncles. I'm grateful my family was so accepting and didn't make it out like it was a big deal.
Christina is becoming one of my favorite human beings. She mentioned red lipstick (which I will be buying promptly) AND Ram Dass (whom i listen to often on podcasts) all in the first few minutes 💕❤️💕❤️
This is a great episode! Probably one I'll come back to multiple times. In these crazy times it's cool seeing two mommies be 100% real and down to earth
This was the best podcast ever for me as a new mom 😂 so funny and true and I appreciate the less than ideal parts about parenting. I also love both Kati Morton and Christina P so when they are together this is my jam! Thanks so much
UPDATE: Lipstick just arrived and it’s fabulous! Christina really nailed it! Girl-that-makes-her-man-lonche approved! Just went and got myself the Perfect Red Lipstick! Looks beautiful, can’t wait to receive it. Suggestion: capitalize on us girls that make “lonche” and upload a swatch of what the Perfect Red Lipstick would look like on a couple of different skin shades. Maybe a couple of the booth boys can model it for you 😂
An important function of a parent is to teach your children to become their own persons and to get along on their own. They need to learn to make decisions and take responsibility for those decisions. I think all the helicoptering leads to dependent children who end up never leaving home and growing up. As a parent, you deserve to have your own life after you have raised your children.
I love the “don’t give men unsolicited advice” I learned that EARLY. I was about 2 years into dating my now husband, and we were turning out of a neighborhood and going down a hill. He didn’t brake at all and I yelled like wtf are you doing?! And he goes “THE FUCKIN BRAKE LINE JUST WENT OUT” and we were hurling down this hill. We eventually go up it and slow down enough to park. Fast forward 3 years we’re taking an exit off the highway down a steep ramp and he doesn’t slow down, so I just keep my mouth shut and grab every “oh shit” handle in the car near me. Then he brakes and goes, “how come you didn’t say anything?” I was like wtf are you talking about? The last time this happened you screamed at me cuz the car was broken 😂 He was trying to recreate that scene purposefully which pissed me off more than if it had actually broken again lol. I didn’t want to look like a dumb ass again so I stayed quiet! Now when I see him all frustrated I just tell him I’ll be in the other room if he needs me, and RARELY does he ask for my advice lmfao 😂
I went to see you Mom Jean's this weekend in Washington, it was phenomenal! Thanks for being you and giving us moms the real deal truth of how it is to be a mom, I appreciate your honesty and making me feel not so bad on my hard days. I have 4 boys and today is a tough one, thanks Kati and Mom Jean's! Love you 💜
Totally Tok'd Tina on some MAJOR projection this episode 😂 you know what they say... those who know the most recognize that they don't know much, while those who know the least think they know the most 😅
I know she knows that, but she just always pronounces it with an E sound. Some sort of accent quirk? :) My partner pronounces “milk” as “melk” so I assume it’s similar…
As someone with chronic conditions that make it pretty impossible for me to fully care for everything or myself all the time, I don't know how to feel about codependency? Am I codependent? Is that really bad? I don't think I really get it, how I see it is of course I am 'dependent'? I try for as even a balance as possible, but it's not really possible at all. If one of us is working a lot the other is really running the show. Just took a quiz, looks like being chronically ill doesn't make me codependent. I am definitely dependent but I'm not really choosing to be.
Didn't know "Fuck right off" was a Canadian saying. You learn something new every day, eh? Love this podcast! These two need to be on together more often! Love from Vancouver BC!
The Conmigo cup thing that Kaiti has is IDEAL for water. It's what I use. Spill free, and the water doesn't taste like metal, and it stays cold forever! Piss on me, beat me, shit on my chest.
Psychology only works to the stand that you think it does. Its all base on how much authority you project on to the therapist. Basically the more you put them on a pedestal the more they can “help you”
24:00 christina double standards tom. she litterally just said she had her own goth room where she locks the door... then points out how tom is different for having a man cave.
1:25:30 Haha just got those Daniel Tiger's Neighbourhood songs out of my head after 3 kids watching it. "You gotta try new food because it might taste goooood"
There’s an app with all the songs… Kati was killing me. Every time she said “Daniel The Tiger”, I was yelling, “It’s Daniel Tiger” (I know she doesn’t have kids but ugh.) Also it’s worth noting that Daniel Tiger is an extension of Mr (Fred) Rogers Neighborhood.
For kids we had “No Thank You Bites”. One they tried it, they can say, “No thank you”! Teaches them they can decide for themselves after trying something.
So much contradiction going on here. This is an open, free-flowing convo so that’s expected. However, I hope Tina is aware of how much doublethink happened throughout this interview. Katie is always graceful and informative though and I’ll always tune in when she’s on!
miau miau miau miau miau miau miau miau miau MIAU! YES KATI IS BACK! So so happy we're educating the masses on the knowledge of Men are from Mars, women from Venus. It's been such an educational book for me! Absolute recommendation!
It's hilarious when people without children talk about raising children (and compare them to dogs lol) but she actually IS, quite adorable. I bet she's pregnant within 1 year lol.
I think that the brown during birth is, one , because your muscles flex it out., two, the brown may have been a means to mask the smell of birth from predators when we lived in caves.🤣
The "clean plate club" is a result of being raised by people who were raised by people who grew up during the Depression era. You better eat what's on your plate, that literally is all there is, and who knows when or what the next meal may be. Also, the Catholic church did a lot of harping at people about dying children in various sub-equatorial countries, and somehow your wasting of food affects that situation. BTW, food waste actually IS a big contributor to the greenhouse gas problem. Eat your leftovers!
Ugh. What a spoiled mom you are. Some of us moms don't have nannys or a "Goth room". What would you do then Christina lmao. 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ just wish I was rich😂😂😂
It's only malicious if you are the butcher that does the surgery on a mentally ill person, or if you're a parent that signs off on a child's sex change surgery.
If you are sincerely trying and improving over time, no one will cancel you. A great way to practice is to say sentences about the person with the new pronouns when you are alone, like while driving. If you mess it up while talking about the person to someone else, just apologize briefly, correct yourself and move on. Like “I was talking to her - oops, sorry, I meant him - and he said…”
When mommy sing-songs her intro, I wanna gouge my fucking ears out. It’s a mad dash for the skip button. On a related note, I took 3 autism tests and apparently I’m a little tok-ed…🥳
i’m so tired of christina complaining about pronouns. “we were raised to be free thinkers, that’s why we don’t like when you impede our speech.” nobody is impeding your speech, christina. they’re asking for common courtesy and respect. you even said directly after that in a hypothetical that you’d respect Kati’s choice to change their name to kyle. that is literally no different than using someone’s correct pronouns. and another thing- no one, except the loud vocal minority, assumes malicious intent if you misgender them. it’s the REPEATED act of it that creates the resentment. i love your stuff but it gets frustrating hearing you parrot bigoted talking points and misrepresenting arguments.
The worst take of The Batman that I have ever heard. Totally missed every point because he wasn't a jacked peurto Rican dude growling batman lines she couldn't focus.
