00:00:03.120 --> 00:00:07.320
Welcome to speed Round Sunday on the
Parenting Roundabout podcast, where we share a

2
00:00:07.360 --> 00:00:11.839
mini episode from our past for your
weekend listening pleasure. We'll be back tomorrow

3
00:00:11.839 --> 00:00:19.519
with a brand new episode. We
were unsure about what angle to put on

4
00:00:19.519 --> 00:00:23.000
our summer camp discussion, but it
seems like something that is coming upright at

5
00:00:23.039 --> 00:00:25.760
the moment. So I'm going to
ask y'all, are your kids going to

6
00:00:25.839 --> 00:00:30.239
camp this summer? If not,
why not? And if there was an

7
00:00:30.280 --> 00:00:34.159
ideal camp you could send the to
them to, what would it be?

8
00:00:34.439 --> 00:00:38.479
So pick take your choice from amongst
those topics. Katherine, what do you

9
00:00:38.520 --> 00:00:42.159
got to say about camp today?
All right? Well, my kids are

10
00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:49.240
both going to a traditional summer camp
where it's on an island and oh my,

11
00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:55.880
on an island a little a little
island in a lake. Okay,

12
00:00:57.640 --> 00:01:02.679
canoe there, or they go on
a pontoon boat. From the first they

13
00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:06.840
take a bus and then they go
on the pontoon boat across. I mean,

14
00:01:06.879 --> 00:01:08.799
it's what you could This sounds like
a setting for so many movies and

15
00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:17.640
it's like a parent trap style camp. All right, then you're doing the

16
00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:21.799
camp thing right girl? For one
week only though, I mean, it's

17
00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:30.359
not like these East Coast camps where
kids go for yeah or something that they're

18
00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:34.000
only going for one week each because
at the same time or different times,

19
00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:40.400
different times because it's you know,
single sex. So the first week is

20
00:01:40.959 --> 00:01:44.959
a boy's week and that's when my
son is going, and then my daughter

21
00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:49.760
will go the following week and there
are they've already talked about how they're gonna

22
00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:56.079
try to coordinate it so that they
can like wave at each other as one

23
00:01:56.120 --> 00:02:02.239
as one is coming home pontoon boats
pass. Yeah, they want to like

24
00:02:02.359 --> 00:02:08.439
high facilarious or something. So yeah, so we'll see. So coming up

25
00:02:08.520 --> 00:02:14.199
is when I have to get my
son packed up, so that that'll be

26
00:02:14.240 --> 00:02:16.639
fun. Yeah. They have a
whole list of what you are to send.

27
00:02:17.199 --> 00:02:22.159
Yeah, they have a list,
and it's pretty you know, it's

28
00:02:22.199 --> 00:02:27.719
pretty predictable. And I got some
you know, real serious bug spray and

29
00:02:28.360 --> 00:02:32.120
um. They have to bring rags
because they are expected to clean. Oh

30
00:02:32.439 --> 00:02:36.280
no, they're going to bring their
own rack. They have to bring their

31
00:02:36.280 --> 00:02:39.199
own rack to clean at this camp. But they have to bring their own

32
00:02:39.319 --> 00:02:46.360
rags. Never learn dust rags.
And they have to bring clothes pins.

33
00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:53.159
Oh yeah, the little dust back
or something, you know, I think

34
00:02:53.159 --> 00:03:00.479
it. Do they bring pins to
hang up there to hang up their wet

35
00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:07.039
towels? And why they don't have
books for those? But I guess to

36
00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:13.639
spread it out from corner to corner
or someone. So yeah, then they

37
00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:19.080
are very excited. And a week
is good, you know. Yeah,

38
00:03:19.199 --> 00:03:24.319
I think I would have a hard
time with a really long camp. Yeah,

39
00:03:24.879 --> 00:03:28.479
so I think a week. No, it is this good for you

40
00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:32.039
that you will be without one child
for a week rather than being without two

41
00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:36.639
children? Is it? Do you
like it that you'll have time with each

42
00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:39.840
one separately when the other one's in
camp? Yeah, well we regret not

43
00:03:39.960 --> 00:03:45.879
having just some child free time.
Yeah, I mean it's it's kind of

44
00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:49.919
nice to have just one at a
time. And um, I feel like

45
00:03:49.919 --> 00:03:54.199
when they're when if they're both gone, then there's so much pressure on time,

46
00:03:54.439 --> 00:03:59.639
Like you better enjoy that. You
better like be super productive and go

47
00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:02.439
have lots of fun with your friends
and your husband and do all this stuff.

48
00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:08.000
Yeah, and like, oh that's
too much pressure. Yes, So

49
00:04:08.120 --> 00:04:12.479
this way you just have one kid
and I just have one one set of

50
00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:19.279
activities and driving driving around yes,
yes, So Nicole, is your is

51
00:04:19.319 --> 00:04:24.079
your daughter going to camp? Or
son? Out of camp age. My

52
00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:30.519
son is is is Son's already family
planning, all right. My son is

53
00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:36.600
mapping out his career. He's getting
ready to graduate young adult Professional camp.

54
00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:40.879
Exactly, give you the paper work
for all that where they give you the

55
00:04:40.959 --> 00:04:44.079
reality of life. They schedule in
the baby, all right, what are

56
00:04:44.079 --> 00:04:50.160
you doing in November? Of No, he's he's beyond that, although he

57
00:04:50.199 --> 00:04:54.680
does do his own little version when
he goes and catches lizards in the desert.

58
00:04:54.759 --> 00:05:00.160
So true. Um, yeah,
so he's on that. My daughter,

59
00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:04.879
as you all know, does not
do sleepovers and the thought of a

60
00:05:04.920 --> 00:05:12.759
sleepaway camp terrifies her, even though
she's sixteen. Um, she's but you

61
00:05:12.759 --> 00:05:16.120
know, she's just not even interested
in camping period. Like she's not I

62
00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:21.720
don't know what I've raised, but
she is. She's you know, she's

63
00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:25.680
not a rough kind of girl.
And which is so funny because I didn't

64
00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:29.079
grow up that way. I grew
up very much the opposite. So yeah,

65
00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:33.800
um, yeah, she has no
interest in You moved her to California

66
00:05:34.199 --> 00:05:41.920
changes everything. There's not like some
specialty camp somewhere like their tech camp or

67
00:05:42.439 --> 00:05:47.399
or hair camp or I don't know
what camp. No, No, she

68
00:05:47.480 --> 00:05:58.120
would totally totally be disgusted if she
heard kind of thing. She's interested in

69
00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:01.439
writing camp. Maybe she's all over
the tech stuff and the stem stuff.

70
00:06:01.480 --> 00:06:04.560
She's not, you know, all
about the fingernails, not all about the

71
00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:10.199
southern California girl thinging. Okay,
that's kind of music camp. When I

72
00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:14.639
was growing up in southern California and
we all sat around with guitars and well,

73
00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:17.399
there are a million camps down here
because of the population. I mean

74
00:06:17.399 --> 00:06:20.319
when I'm saying, I would think
there would be one camping for everything,

75
00:06:20.399 --> 00:06:24.560
but they're sleep away, like they're
not in this area. And she won't

76
00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:27.680
sleep away and she won't do that, right, I mean, and we've

77
00:06:27.720 --> 00:06:31.839
exhausted everyday camp in our community.
Ye I can see because she's sixteen.

78
00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:38.079
So I mean, we've done everything. But the other part of that story

79
00:06:38.120 --> 00:06:44.399
too is that she's also having to
take summer school to get her PE class

80
00:06:44.439 --> 00:06:51.000
out of the way, which got
circumvented mid year and unfortunately due to her

81
00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:56.720
tennis coach but we shall not go
there and ranted about that last yeah,

82
00:06:57.399 --> 00:07:00.000
and so anyway, so she's taking
this PE class. It just kind of

83
00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:04.480
almost like a camp because they go
from seven thirty to one and they camp

84
00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:11.759
joy. Yeah, that's the dream
come true right there. So she came

85
00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:14.959
home like how it I would have
been aware to just like grouse about the

86
00:07:14.959 --> 00:07:16.759
whole thing, which is like,
oh, so many of my friends are

87
00:07:16.800 --> 00:07:20.279
in it and we socialize. I
guess the cause you know, it's California,

88
00:07:20.360 --> 00:07:25.600
right, so you know they do
an hour of stretching in yoga and

89
00:07:25.639 --> 00:07:30.319
then they go outside and they play
you know, some sort of I don't

90
00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:34.319
know, softball or something, and
then they go to the pool and they

91
00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:38.240
just like languish in the pool for
an hour and a half. And that's

92
00:07:38.279 --> 00:07:45.439
the man camp. Yeah, right, I think we need a mom is

93
00:07:45.480 --> 00:07:47.480
only my camp? So which exists, which she existed, would be a

94
00:07:47.600 --> 00:07:51.800
mom camp, right, shouldn't there
be a mom camp where you would just

95
00:07:51.839 --> 00:07:55.160
go for a week, you'd say, you know, you bring your stationary,

96
00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:58.839
write your kids letters, but you
go someplace and like to like you

97
00:07:58.920 --> 00:08:01.639
go someplace like Nicholes going to college, just where you would just sit around

98
00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:09.480
and like you know, flush robes
and um, you can tell your family

99
00:08:09.519 --> 00:08:16.199
it's a healthcare, you know,
women's health care. Yes, yes,

100
00:08:18.040 --> 00:08:22.240
I think tell your tell your Beverly
Hill's gonna college just to work on that.

101
00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:26.120
I bet there's I bet there's something
something there. They could they could

102
00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:28.480
expand their business. They were awesome. Did I tell you that I got

103
00:08:28.519 --> 00:08:33.279
a bill for the mamogram the other
week? Yeah, hill style. Yeah,

104
00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:37.159
you want to take a guess how
much it was. I have no

105
00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:41.200
frame of reference, which they are
normally minus health insurance. It was eight

106
00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:46.159
thousand dollars. Oh my god.
Wait, that was the part you had

107
00:08:46.200 --> 00:08:54.360
to pay. That was my patient
responsibility. But I'm hoping there's a butt.

108
00:08:54.759 --> 00:09:01.919
They must have some very uh wealthy
what do you call it donors?

109
00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:05.240
I don't know, something along those
lines. Yeah, because um, it

110
00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:16.480
was subsidized and I only have to
pay forty You go to charity mamogram story

111
00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:22.080
ever long time to go. We
brought this little woman in from Redlands and

112
00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:31.600
gave her a mamogram for promotional material. She pulled up in a Toyota Corolla.

113
00:09:31.720 --> 00:09:37.919
We got sorry for her for incoverished
people that we help here. She

114
00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:50.399
pull me on their brochure, their
philanthropy brochure for outreach the Empire. I

115
00:09:50.559 --> 00:09:54.240
just got. I got my notice
that I'm supposed to go in for a

116
00:09:54.320 --> 00:10:01.840
mamogram do you think I could lie
out there and light It's not awesome?

117
00:10:01.919 --> 00:10:09.399
Forty bucks? Oh my godness,
that was hilarious. Anyway, that little

118
00:10:09.559 --> 00:10:18.200
side, yes side, the Beverly
Hills charity cases. I don't think we

119
00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:22.159
can top that. I'm just gonna
say
