Transcript

 You're listening to unfiltered us, where we keep it real and unscripted. I'm your host, Susie, along with my husband, Miguel. Ready to dive in? Let's get started. Okay. Welcome to episode. I think this is nine. I have no I have no idea either, actually. And as you can tell, my voice is still. She's sick. I'm still lost. My voice. Like, I feel so much better. But my voice has definitely has not returned. But I have a special guest with me today. My daughter, my beautiful daughter. And we figured since last week we had your brother on. It was a time to have you on. And I kind of feel like we're in a little competition, like, made sure that our podcast is better than that. So this was. Y'all was not fun. So deep down inside, I'm like, no, ours has to be way better than theirs. I agree. I hope you have stories. I hope you're coming. Like prepared. I felt like I should have had a coffee and we could have done like a little coffee screeches. I know that's true, but it's like, what time is it now? Like almost 5:00 in the day. That's true. I got some fun. There's so many things you've done. All right, well, I know you've heard the other podcasts, and since you were pretty much there this entire time. Yeah. Of all these podcasts, like all of the stories that we said in the podcast, do you remember a lot of it as a child or is it something that you do? You look back and you're like, I didn't remember that story, or I didn't, or I did remember that story. I mean, like little, little or no, but I remember well, because one of them, I asked, you know, that episode, like I said, like the Q&A, um, my dad, he was like, oh, I know who had asked this, which was me. It was one of them. I was like, oh, do you wish you could go back and do anything? And you know, what's crazy is that I don't remember him as a kid. I mean, I remember him working, but not ever feeling like, oh, man. Like, I wish my dad was here or, like, oh, I don't know if that would, like, heal him to be like, it's fine. I would rather be you. Oh, my God, it's awesome. I was gonna cry. I would rather be in the position where we are today. But the kids instead of me. Yeah. You know. What you did just get burst. So I saw you. I know my hormones. I'm still everywhere. Yeah, yeah. Um. But I'd rather be. I feel like me and him are closer now. Yes, I agree, like, he's almost like my best friend. And it's fun to have him. And he's a lot cooler now that he was so strict before. And I mean, I thank him for him because I, I appreciate the person that I am today. But see, our episode is already so much better. I know it is me already started crying, but I'd rather have it played out the way that it did. Yeah, because I kind of feel like now because everything that he worked so hard early on gives us so much more time with our grandkids. Yeah, and I feel like we're here for them where, you know, we might have had to give up. He might have had to give them some time early on with you. But I feel like he's such a great grandpa now. Yeah. He is. It's good to see you adore him. I know, and I'm like. I'm like. I'm like, I, I love you guys so much. And I feel like they're like, bah bah bah bah bah bah. That's all that comes out of their mouths. And I'm like, third time's a charm. I know how, like, you know what? And I'm like, maybe it's because my kids loved me so much younger that now I have to, like, give it up to take a step back. I have to take a step back and be like, okay, now it's his turn. Yeah, it's time for like, little kids to love him. Now, it's funny because I felt like being around before I had my kids like other kids don't did it like my dad. Yeah, but they know, like, kids don't don't I? Like, I don't know, it wasn't like anything crazy. I thought they were scared of him. Yeah, yeah. No, my kids are like. And kids freaking adore your dad. Yeah, they love him. He just has that energy. Yeah. Which is amazing. That's what I'm saying. That's what we hope for. He's a lot cooler now. Like, he's just fun, I guess. Laid back and chill. Yeah. So do you have any stories that you could think of that maybe we didn't share in previous podcasts. Personally, I feel like now where I'm at, I'm just so focused on the present. You know, like, try not to really think about what happened yesterday. I had a great childhood. And it's funny because I feel like a lot of people are always like, oh, childhood trauma and this, this and that. And I'm like, I didn't have any of that. I had a great childhood. I mean, especially being the first girl, the only girl for like eight years. Like, I had a great upbringing. And I have nothing bad to say about my own good. So I'm hoping the same thing for my kids. Yeah. Selena, I'm glad you say that because, like, as a mom, one of I was raising you as little. I felt like I couldn't give you a lot of stuff. Yeah, no, I had the greatest show, and I, like, always felt like, I don't know, like, I didn't fulfill my role as a mom or as a parent. I'm sure your dad felt the same way, because we couldn't give you a lot of stuff when you were younger. Yeah. And it wasn't until, like, obviously we started making more income that I was allowed to say yes to a lot of things, but I always felt like I had to say no to a lot of things here, and I, and I always makes me wonder, like, man, that sucks that I couldn't give her a lot of that stuff. But now looking back, you probably don't even remember half of that stuff. You know what I do remember? Or like the times you could say yes. Like when it first heard it happened. Yeah. Like I need to go to therapy at the wrong time. Um, so you remember a lot more of the yeses than the nos. Yeah. Well, see, that's good. That's good to know. As a as a parent, you know, like, because I'm sure there's a lot of parents who think that way too. Like. And it sucks that I have to tell my kids no so much, but I'm sure when they grow up, they'll probably feel the same way as you. Like, no, I only really remember the yeses and not the nos. Yeah, I see now with my kids, I can't say yes to everything, thankfully. Yeah. That it feels like a lot less meaningful. Yeah. No, because they get everything that they want. Yeah. Why do I feel they're, like, so spoiled? Yeah, it is like their grandparents. Everything, kid. That's why Christmas comes and I'm like, no toys, please. Like, my house is filled with, you know, like, give them clothes. Excuse me. I don't like my expensive stuff. So just so everybody knows, you have three kids. Whose file Saul, which because it was one person which was named after my dad. Yeah. For a funny story about him. We didn't know his name. I did not I did not want to tell anybody his name because, again, I knew it wasn't super meaningful. And so he was born. So. Yeah. Yeah. So we didn't know his name. So when we would talk to him in the belly, we would call him though, because we knew he was a boy. So we're like, oh. And now that he was born with like, his name stuck as hell, his name is Saul, which is my dad's name. And that's what it was. So I remember I cried when you told me. I'm like, does he even know his name? Cause I know I wondered that too. I'm like, if I were to say someone, would he turn around? Like, did he know that we tested it the other day? Like, would he know? That's really easy. And then you just had a baby one month old baby you. Which I love that name too. How did you think of that name? I thought, oh, wow. Where everything is found out now. I swear I found it on TikTok, and I, like I was just I mean, I think it just popped up actually on my For You page. I didn't even go searching for it. And, um, I saw real, and I was like, oh, my God, that is so cute. Because I for sure with my kids did not want names that you hear. I can often and I really liked, um, you know what I would tell my clients? I would, I would send my clients compliments and they would be like, oh, that's my grandpa's name. That's my name. But it's like, well, you don't hear it anymore. But I knew I wanted him to be like the cool kid on the playground, you know? And I definitely think he. Yeah, he would be and he is. And Rio is just so fun. Like, it's just short and I. So, you know, when I told my Tia the first time, she was like, what's his name? I'm like Camilo Torres. She's like, oh my gosh. It's like a telenovela telenovela name. Like I never write. And then fun fact Elena is a huge J Balvin. Yes. Believe me. And it is funny because you did a meet and greet with J Balvin when you were playing with her. Yeah, so it's funny that she comes out to be like a huge J Balvin fan. And then we find out later, once you already had decided real name that J Balvin son's name is real. Yeah. And I was like, what are they, like waiting on? I know because we didn't even know that. Yeah. When you named him, we didn't know that that was it. We just thought it because we knew he was coming up with the new song. And the song was going to be named it Rio. Right? And then we were like, I think we had looked into it or something. We were like, oh, his son's name is Brito. Yeah. I'm like, oh, cool. Actually, Elena's going to J Balvin this Saturday. She has. Yeah, I did. Um, she's also going to do it. Made it great. She's all I know. Your dad was like, I have to do meet and greet. Like I have to do it. I don't care how much these tickets cost. And, yes, they only want to know. Yes. They were definitely a pretty petty. But she's good. Maybe we haven't told her yet. I don't know if we told her, she'd be like, let's go right now. Yeah. So actually we're going to tell her on Saturday, the day of the concert, and she's. I just can't wait to see her reaction. I just hope she lets me dress her because that girl, she has her own style. Has her own style when it comes to her shoes, her outfit, her hair. But she knows what she's doing. You know what she does. That girl, she's interviewing me. I don't know. I mean, everything she does. It's because I think. And I don't know if it's kids nowadays that they get. They go on TikTok and they learn things that then they apply it at such a young age because it looks like she goes a lot on YouTube and TikTok and then applies it to herself. Yeah. And it ends up looking remarkable. Like, sometimes I look at her makeup. Oh, she does better than us. Yeah. And I'm like, dude, that blending technique is amazing on a five year old. Highlight of all of you. Oh, and just so you know, she saw me before we did this podcast and she goes, where are you going? And I said, no, where I'm staying here. And she's like, how come you have a dress out in your hair done and your makeup done? And I said, well, I just want to look pretty, Papa. And she goes, well, then I would change your lipstick. I don't like your red lipstick. I go, do you like anything else? Yeah, I like your hair and I like, I like your blush. I like your dress. But no, you should definitely change your red lipstick. Well, I like that she's like that, though. She's very honest. She's very like. If I want honesty in my life, I definitely go to her because that girl told me the truth. She's a true friend. Yeah. She's like one of those friends that you hate to hear from the center. And they're like, okay, fine. Which I didn't change when I changed my lipstick, but that was my goal was to change it because she told me she hated it. That did not go with you right now. Down to that. She did like my lashes. Even though these are now TikTok lashes because you just said I am a hired lash tech. Yes, I used to get my lashes done by my daughter and now I have to resort to TikTok lashes, although I feel like I could do better. Yes, they last. They supposedly supposed to last like two weeks, but they did not last two weeks. The most I could get I was maybe three days, but that's enough because I think sometimes you have to give your lashes a break anyways. And then, like I still do anything until like I have the weekend. It's almost like you do them for the weekend. Yeah. Or like or Saturday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, you know. Yeah. Weekend lashes. Yeah. And then I'm good. Like I don't wear lashes. Although it was hard to look at myself without lashes when it first happened. Oh my God. I'm like I'm bald. Like, I feel like I ain't even. A lot of my clients are messaging me like, hey, so are you coming back? And I'm like, hey, so, uh, how's it going? Are you ready? No, no, I know you had a lot of loyal customers, for sure. A lot of them saw me pregnant with Elena. Oh, more than half stuck with me. And that's why I stopped posting on social media. Stop looking. A lot of my clients for word of mouth clients, you know, which is. I feel like the best way because it is they can vouch for other people. Right. Um, because people nowadays are just weird. I say shady, they make appointments and they, you know, and even some of my loyal clients are doing that, like just making them. And neither I'm like, hello? What happens? Question mark. My question. Are you there? But no. Yeah, it's. It's a it's a it's a strange world. It is for the beauty industry. You know, like just coming across loyal clients. And that's why I think I was so happy to have such a strong face. Because, like I said, a lot of the time. I know that, you know, now, me having five, like with my third, they were like, dude, I remember when you turned 21 and then I was like, I see, I know how fast, how fast everything came. I was 21 again with no kids, with no liability, nothing. So I know going back, like you went to school for cosmetology, you went high school, you did all your hours in high school and everything. Is that something you always wanted to be? Is the last tech, or were you, when you originally got your license? Did you were you thinking of something else? No, I definitely wouldn't, thinking that I wanted to do hair. Okay, then I think we did so much of hair there that I got tired of it, because I swear, that's the only thing we ever did was hair. We hardly got into nails. Definitely nothing would make up. No, there was actually not even any lash. Yeah, I don't remember. You learned. No need for laughs. Yeah. You sorry you ended up learning lash after your life. After my lessons, I took my classes. Um, that's when only classic was in. And then slowly, uh, that's when the volume started and I started to lose volume up, like, you know, my clients, everybody wanted volume. So then I went, I took another course for just volume. And then actually, the place that I ended up taking my course for the volume, I ended up working there, the lady hired, because she really liked the way that I worked. And my friend, I was like, wanted to do it full time because I really was there. It was just kind of like a week at the. And, um, I was there for a hot minute. I was there for, like. Yeah, for a year. Yeah. You were. I was there for. I think that's where you built a lot of your clients, because a lot of people, that's where they followed me from was the salon that I was working at, and then I ended up moving into studios. And then same thing. I was there for five years. So, yeah, I've been lasting for a long, long time. Like right out of high school, right out of high school. I was 18. I'll be 28 and sweet and sweet it is tourist season. It's 28 years old. 28, bro. I know actually meeting your dad. We're talking about that how you're getting closer to 30 and we're like, man, we're going to have a child in their 30s. I did 30, 20 a year. I know you know what, 30s is fun. I mean, I, I had more of my fun after I turned 40, but I would definitely except for 30. Yeah. It'll be fun. So did you um, I know, like, when we would talk about kids early on, you always said you didn't want to be a mom. Like, I remember you telling me like, nah, I don't really want kids. And then you ended up having the one. Yeah, and I have three. So did you always see yourself, like with three kids or, like, even being a mom at all? I knew I wanted to be a mom, like I knew. I wanted. I guess I just always in my life. How did that responsibility? Because again, I am the oldest when it comes to me and my brother, and then I am the oldest when it comes to having all my cousins like the grandchildren. You know, I always have that, I don't know, motherly thing. Yeah. You know, they were they were attached to me and I was attached to them like I loved them. I loved watching them. Um, so I knew I always wanted to be a mom, but I just don't know if I really saw myself with three. But I always did say if I had two, I wanted three because since it is just me and my brother, I knew I always felt like, I wish that there was one more, which is something me and your dad always talked about. Never. It never happened. Um, so I guess three is a great time. It is. It's a great number. Yeah, it is. I, I have to stop here though, because I can't, I you will never see me in any that I know because now you have to upgrade to a different part though. Uh, no. Yeah. Those are huge. Or I. Could you imagine me driving a Tahoe or something? Or an Escalade? I mean, I kind of feel like you're really needed now with the, like, car seats. Can I get a card? I'm sorry. Yeah. I mean, you have an SUV, but it's not one of, like, those big ones. And so I kind of feel like it's always so tight back there with the three cars. I mean, they fit perfectly, but that's it. Like. Yeah. There's nothing I wrote for. Nothing. No there isn't. No, there's no there's no words. It's just. No. Oh but that's okay. Yeah. That's what you mean. That's how you know you need to stop. Stop. So tell us, how did you meet Aaron? Aaron is obviously baby darling, which we love. Aaron. I mean, he's been with us for a long, long time. I mean, he's I think he's always loved you. That guy. Laughs I know there'd be times where you guys broken up. And I swear he would just show up with flowers and be like sitting there. And one time like we ran into him like we were at a club. We were at Blue Martini. Do you remember that? I was crazy. And I yes, you. Me. And then you're kind of my cousin, then my other cousin. And. Oh my gosh, I remember we finished the bottle of Apple Ciroc and you, Aaron was there, and I swear he was over us like a hug. You guys are not dating. At the time, you guys had broken up. And I remember he was like, if guys would come to the table, which there was guys, because you had other exes there. For some reason, that night was crazy. I was like, uh. And then I remember. So anytime you were, one of your exes would come on. I mean, these were like high school boyfriends because, like. Yeah. Okay. So backstory. Me and Aaron started dating in 2001. First got together. Um, summer going into sophomore year is when we started dating. And we actually met through, like, Myspace. Oh, really? I didn't even know that. In fact, we met through Myspace. But Myspace was like transitioning into Facebook. I feel like that was such an era. Um, is. So we really started messaging through my, um, Facebook, but we met through Myspace, like we were already friends through Myspace. And yeah, we just I don't even know the first time that we met, like in person with her. We went to the movies at Town Square. So I feel like Times Square is so fun for us because it's like, oh, this is the first place and you guys go as a family. We got all the money. I just said the last two days. Yeah, like just yesterday, but also the day before that. The kids love it. They play at the park and stuff. But yeah, we met, um, going on a movie date and. Yeah, the rest is history. I know that, boy. I promise you, I feel like it's like. Yeah, for real. He's like, no, this one is mine too. Isn't enough. He's like, this one I'm keeping. I, I know, I wish I had so many stories of Aaron. I swear, he I you just know when someone loves your daughter so much and I would sometimes have, I would have heartbreak for Aaron because he would show up. And then I used to be like, I don't want to talk to him. Like, don't even tell him I'm here. And I'd have to, like, look at him like, I'm sorry. Erase. So I want to talk to you right now. But I mean, all that obviously has been fixed. So you guys have been together for a really long time and living together for a really long time now, too. Yeah. We just want a ring on it. Like, do you see that? I've known. You've talked. I know you've always said you never want to get married. Yeah. Is that still a thing? Leave it to me. Especially in this day and age. In 2025, it's 2025. Marriage is just a piece of paper and said here. Yeah. You know, my dad has always said, you don't want to see me with your kids. And I'm like, I know where they came from. I know that they are like, my last name is not necessary. Not necessary. I don't know where they came from. I kind of feel like your generation and younger feels that way about marriage. Like, you guys don't really care about marriage. It's not a big deal. Like, it's just is what it is. Yeah. You know, what's weird is actually, like, I see people that do get married, and I'm like, that's weird. You think? Yeah, no, I really. I'm like. Yeah. We're so young. Like, you guys are gonna do this. I want you to do that. Well, you know, there is lots of stories where people, like, are together for a really, really long time, and then they decide to get married and then they end up. Do they end up divorced? And it's like you guys were together for, like, ten years before I even got married. And now you got married, and a year later, they're divorced. A curse. Maybe your dad always said it was like, um. What? He always says that it's something that was done to, like, an arrangement of families just to be become more wealthy, like, you know, like kings and queens to it, but, like, just to make the family bigger and more wealthy, they would join like their. Yeah, their children. Yeah. But it wasn't necessarily meant to be like a marriage. Like kind of love. Yeah. Like I love love. So it's funny how, you know time progressed. It goes from that to like, love and let it go now, like all of a sudden it's like non-existent. Yeah. They do say that a lot of people aren't just going to get married anymore and that a lot of people aren't going to be parents anymore. Actually. Yeah, I've heard not, uh, not that long ago on a podcast that, um, people like younger generations are not even having kids. And then slowly population will start to, like, get smaller and smaller. Yeah, because nobody wants kids. It's because, you know it's expensive out there. It is. Unless you make some really good money like you. Really, it's hard to raise, let alone one child, but 3 or 4 or whatever you have. So yeah, like that's why. And then it happens. Question marks are floating around in my head. Why, why why are you doing that? Well, I kind of like with your brother, I don't know, like, I wonder, like, is he going to be one of those that doesn't have kids? Does his name like it's a dog? For real? And it's like my I have the daughter with three kids, and I have the son with the kids who ended up with very different lives. You know, it's crazy how that is with siblings like you raise them the same. Yeah, but they're so different. I feel like that's the way it is with me. My siblings, like, there's four of us, but I feel like the four of us were all so different. Very. Yeah. And I always told my mom, if I have to pick, you already know what I'm going to say. Yeah. If I had to pick out of all of you guys, I would still choose you. So glad you heard about my mom. I don't know, they were so different because. Okay, so I have. It's my brother who is I. He's hilarious to me, but he does not like commitments in any way. Don't try to get that guy to commit to anything because it's just not going to happen. He's better with last minute plans. Yeah, like even to the extent of commitment. Yes. Like so I mean, even like purchasing. Like a ticket to like a comedy theater. He won't do it until last minute because he just. There's something about even purchasing his car. Like, I remember your dad helped to purchase a car one time, and he was like. The guy was like, okay, this is how much I need as a down payment. This is how much it's going to be a month. And me, your dad was told, Henry, okay, give him the money for the down payment. And like, he's, like, trembling, giving the guy, like, the money for the down payment. He's like, no. And your dad's like, give him the money. Like you need a car. This is for you. This is what you need to do, you know, like be responsible. And so your deal ended up giving him the money when it was so hard for you, for your deal to make that commitment of, like, oh, my gosh, I have a monthly payment now, and I. Yeah. And so then there's that's my brother, my middle sister Kim, because I'm the oldest is like. OCD. Very organized. Very. Her house always looks spotless. Like. Have you heard of the type? A type B, type C mops. She's very type A. Okay, excellent. I don't know if I've ever heard, I don't know. So type A moms are like. Um, we actually were making fun of her the other day because my boss and she was over because I was very close to both of my ideas. Um, both of them were over, and she was like, you're like my guest. And he was asking for, like, a type B wall. And then my dad was like, oh, what is that? And we were laughing because I don't really know if it's a thing or if it's just like a Tik Tok trend, but, um, I was like, ha ha. I saw a TikTok the other day where it was like, type A is they have, um, outfits planned out in advance. And then this girl screenshotted like her calendar and had outfits planned out, like, way in advance. And then the other example was the girl had tracked her move every day for the past four years. Oh my gosh, that's extensive. Very like OCD, like, you know, like, everything has its place. Everything. There's a schedule. I, you know, like it's. Yeah. Yes. And then the type B is, I don't know exactly what a type B is because everything right now that's popping up for me is type C. And I'm like a little bit low key on the type C where it's like. Um, another example that I saw for type C was like, do you think? What did she say? Do you think, uh. Raw milk or. I don't know if that's the thing. Raw milk is a thing, like, should become a raw milk family. And then it's like the one falls on the floor and it's like, okay, here you go. Just like to we we you jump back and forth, we can like, we should do this. But then you're like, well, okay, in the background, wipe it off then. Like that's not that big. Yeah. Like just a little bit of a mix. Like I can somewhat be on the schedule but like not really. Yeah. Like you're okay if it goes astray, you know. Yeah. We're. Yeah. Kim is very almost military. Yeah. Like boom boom boom boom boom. Even her kids, she has them all from the time they were born. They're like, never even cleaning like those kids. That house was never dirty. Even though she had two little kids running around. And I looked over her with the, you know, like, now, you know, like when I was little and. Do you not know her? Yeah. Yeah. She would be at parties and cleaning. Yeah. Behind you. Mopping behind you. Because you're walking on her floor, like, very OCD. And then you have your Sidney, who's a complete opposite of OCD. Like, kicks in her house is like, clutter galore. But they collect a lot of figurines, so their house is full of figurines everywhere. But you know what? My favorite part is that it feels like, you know, like it feels like home to them, to them, to them, you know? Like, I don't think I could do all that, but you can tell that everything that they have out is everything that they love. You know, like like it's them. It's their family. It's their personality. I don't expect less, you know, like. Yeah. So that all their figurines, they have two dogs. They have I don't know how many birds that. Birds. Oh, okay. They have me. I see. It always sounds like so many. There's some. It's like there's like five of them. There's like 20 birds. Cause it's. She loves her birds so much. And then plus they're two kids, but they're two dogs. Yeah, there is a lot. But that's how she is. The complete opposite of her. And I feel like I'm. Like that. Like how you are. Maybe like where I'm okay if there's a schedule. Yeah, but sometimes I understand they might go away. I'm not, like, OCD clean, but I'm definitely not a clutter person. Like, I can't see a lot of clutter, but I'm not like OCD about like everything having to be super clean. So I kind of feel like a good middle, like in between. If I had two clients, I'd see, yeah. So we're all that's the crazy part. Like you raise your kids so the same are you think you're raising them the same, but yet everyone turns out so different. Yeah. Because what makes what else are you guys. Where is the same. Yeah. So I don't understand how all that happened, but it's fine. I think that's what makes us. And I'm sure that's how you with your brother so close. Because imagine being so much alike, like your sibling. That might not be a good thing, I would think. I mean, the fact that you guys are so different, I think. What makes you guys so close? Yeah. And that's how I feel about my siblings, is that the fact that we're so like, I almost feel like when we have issues, we discuss it. But since we're all so different, we all have like a different way of viewing it. Yeah, but we all take it to consideration what everybody else is saying. And I think that's amazing that we could all share something and we all have something different to a different way of looking at it. Yeah, yeah. And then that's and then you could take it from there, like whose advice you want to take. But that's what it's so amazing about our relationship is that we're all different. But yeah, we all meshed so perfectly together. And I kind of feel like that's how you are with your brother. I mean, I remember that with your brother. You got even though we had separate bedrooms out, you know, like, once we got our bigger house, we had separate bedrooms from you guys, and you guys would still end up sleeping together. Really? Yes. I don't know, you guys slept together for a long time. Like, I you. I would put your brother in his room and you would be in your room. Because remember how it was you guys were across from each other. I feel I ain't laying at that house. Yes, I, I would always find your brother in your room. Really? And I don't remember that. Yes. He loves sleeping with you and you guys, but you guys are, like, five years apart, so, you know, like when you were seven. I mean, he was like two years old. So I think he loved, like, being with my mom and it really was it. And so I don't know how old he was. And I want to I don't know how old he was until he finally just stopped sleeping with you. But I promise you, I would always find him in your room. Like, I feel like he would just go sleep with you. Like he just loved to be near you. Yeah. I thought that was just so adorable. I'd always find him in your room. Let's see. And then obviously, when I got pregnant with him, you used to sleep with us in our room. And I remember I finally told you, baby, you can't sleep with this anymore because I'm getting too big. Because, you know, I was getting closer to giving birth to him. You can't sleep with this anymore because we don't really fit. And on top of that, I'm afraid that you're gonna kick me or something, I don't know. And, um, so you were like, okay. And then you would sleep on the on right outside our door on the couch, bro. I don't know if I would lock the door. They would lock the door. I would go in there and I would sleep on the floor, you know, and I would wake up in the morning and open the door. And there you are, asleep, lying on the floor. And I'm like, you know what? I would sleep on the floor or someplace on the couch right outside the room. The only thing separating us was a wall. I know you're like, I have. I have to be near that. But then once he came along, you were pretty good about sleeping in your room. And so I would remember I would try to put him in his own crib, in his own room, and he would cry, and you would go take care of him. And then there was a couple of times you would come to me and you're like, mommy, this would be like, let's just say a two in the morning. You'd be like, mommy, I can't get him to stop crying. I don't know what else to do. I was always a mom. I know I, I try to give it. I'm like, oh my gosh, baby. How long has he been crying? You know, because sometimes you're so deep as a deep sleep deprived, you don't even hear your child's crying. And I remember that you would help with your brother so much like you. Even at five years old, you were like the biggest mom helper, which I always appreciated. And I and I feel like, oh, that's why they're so close to this day. Because everyone would always ask me, like, did your kids get along even, like through their teenage years? And I'm like, yeah, like I never had issues with them fighting for not getting them all. Like they seriously are best friends and they're like, really? Like they never fought. I'm like, yeah, no, like really they I never thought they actually really got along. And it's like, I feel like people don't believe me. Yeah, I had a great childhood. I know because I actually I hear stories all the time of Aaron and his sister. Like, because they had they're the same age gap four and a half years like me. And they're like, yeah, we always thought we were like, seriously, like fist fight. And I'm like, yeah, I don't know what this fist fight is. I, I don't know, that's crazy to me. I mean, I'm just I'm blessed like that. Yeah. I feel like even growing up, people would be like, you know, we'd go to birthday parties and people are around, like, kids or just. Making, I don't know. Mess somewhere in some random house anxiety. Yeah. And you guys would always sit next to me and, like, not make a mess and, like, just play with each other or something. And I would always. And there people would always be like, your kids are so well-behaved. Like, how do you like I don't, I don't know, I wish I knew, I wish I could tell you the secret. I just don't know how I ended up with these two that are so well behaved that don't like, make a mess and don't like fight with other kids and they actually get along. And I'm just a best friend. I know, that's cute. I find that so cute. Yeah, but even to this day, you guys are like that. Yeah, I love it. I guess it was cool, I was, but now I feel like now we are very different. Like, even just conversating wise, I know so many of your brother has become very intelligent. Yeah, I feel like he's always been intelligent. But now it's to the point where, like, you're talking to Chad. Yeah, I, you know, sometimes he comes up to me and Tracey tell me a joke. He's the fun fat kid. And I'm like, oh. And I'm like, I did not understand that joke at all because I think you have to be at a different level of smartness to understand that joke. Okay, yeah. He's seriously check GPT. You're not lying. I used to be a senior. Hey, Alexa, take it up. Yeah. No. Yeah, he knows. And he definitely knows sports. So if you ever have any questions, especially with soccer, he's definitely the person to go to. He's the person to ask. Yeah. He knows his players. He knows his stats and you know his years. I'm like, I need a girl who likes to play soccer, apparently. Introduce him to his brother. Like. That guy. You know what it is? That he's very wise for his age. He is. Because he's only, what, 23? Yes. He acts like he's 45. Yeah. He's just like your father. Those are two peas in a pod. Like. Like me at 23, bro. Yeah. Completely different, because I remember what he was. 21, 22. And, like, those were like my prime years. Like, I was out at the bar coming up at 4 a.m., you know, like, had fun. Like, what are you doing by night on a Friday night? Yeah. And he's happy being in his house by himself and, like, okay, what do you tell me one time that he was like, yeah, he said he was bored, that he's coming over like, I wish I was bored. Oh my son. I love him to death. And I feel like your middle child is like him. Yeah. So? So don't be surprised if he comes up to me, like, super intelligent and I don't know. I feel like there's so much that I see in Samuel that I saw in me. That is why you're so attached to I. That's like. You know what, Elena? We don't have favorites, Elena. But it is definitely your dad's favorite. Yeah, like. Like with that. Just attach that to him. Okay. You want to be attached? I want to. And I swear that little boy melts my heart like I don't know what it is about him. Like, I look at him and he's just like, that's my baby. I swear I turn into putty when I see him because he to me is like, everything's glory. And I want him to pay so much attention to. He just does not give in. And he sees me. He's like papa. And I'm like, no, no, no. Papa, Papa, everything is papa. Everything is papa. He sees me like. Like. Where's papa? Yeah. Where is Papa? Where? And I'm like, I came by, my lovely. It's just me. Like. Please. No, no. So we'll see with Rio. Yeah. He's still too little. Yeah. There's really no way to know if Rio will be on hoops right now. Yeah. Oh my boobies. He's definitely going to be real as a baby boy. As one out of all. He's big. That boy really came out of me. And that boy is he's going to pass up somewhere. They're already only a £5 difference. Yeah, I, I swear that's your football player. Yeah, he's. I mean, you know how, like, you know, when they, you know, they get scared. So like, they jump in their arms, go out his Spanish like. Oh boy, I know. And his fingers and toes are. Yeah they're huge. He's he's gonna be a big boy because his grandpa on that side is a tall. Well, Aaron is actually really the only one, a little one like his dad's side. They're all huge. Like, they're tall. They're. They're big. Like, they're all of them. Yeah. Aaron is the one that, you know, like that. They're. Because it's actually true. And he's not even that. Well, for us, he's not sure. You know, he's like us. I said, yeah, like he's pretty. Yeah. We're all so little. Like our family were little. In fact, when you go to the pediatrician, they're like, they're like, oh, he's gone. And it's like, have you not seen my family? I'm like, if I came in here and walked in with my dad's, yeah, my mom and my grandma. And not only that, but his other grandpa, we're all I mean, even little Theo Henry is five to. Yes. So we're not big people. So what do you. What do you want to do, Harry? I promise, I feel I'm the same. And that boy, that boy, he amazingly eats steak and eggs for breakfast. And I'm like, I don't know. No, I'm sorry. Maybe they just have a growth spurt, but I. And he knows the same way. I remember she was super old till she turned two. So I'm giving him until he turns two to really be like okay, you know. And then now she was never all like these quote unquote charts that, you know, that they try to get off. Um, now she's on him. I'm like. And she never was. Yeah. That's okay. Yeah. I'm not worried about time. All right, baby. Well, this was a fun episode. I'm glad people to hear from you. Yeah. You're my baby girl. I love you so much. My little princess. Even to this day, I call you my princess. Because you're my princess. It's literally your call. Yes it is. And the reason you said. Oh, well, you know what? For the longest time, I did have your dad. Oh, hell no. I like your dad because you have me as Miguel, who's mad on your phone. And I'm like, well, that's your name. Like. And then he's like, I had.
