| 0:00.0 | Hi, I'm Biz. I'm a working parent with a kid and a teen. |
| 0:03.6 | It's been 10 years since the show began and a lot has changed on the show and in the world. |
| 0:09.6 | But by elevating the voices of others, we have learned we are not alone and we are doing |
| 0:15.2 | a good job. This is still a show about life after giving life. This is One Bad Mother. |
| 0:21.4 | This week on One Bad Mother, who are you going to call? Jane! We talk about the importance of |
| 0:30.7 | body rights with an original Jane member, Laura Kaplan. Plus, Biz says it's okay. |
| 0:35.7 | I thought that it would get easier with sleep and kids get older. Apparently, I don't have this kid. |
| 0:54.8 | It went from being climbing into our bed every night around like, you know, well, okay, I guess |
| 1:05.2 | it's not actually that time. It's like four in the morning. So it's morning. It's morning. |

| 2:10.8 | And now we are waking up every morning to them downstairs, fully capable of taking care of themselves |
| 2:20.4 | apparently because they pull in chairs from the dining room into the kitchen so they can run |
| 2:28.4 | on the countertop and explore all the cabinets to try and find sleep, get their own controls and watch |
| 2:37.0 | Netflix. Who knows when they actually woke up? We find them at 6.30 with bags of marshmallows and |
| 2:45.7 | graham crackers on the couch watching off to not. It was so much easier. I feel like when they were |
| 2:55.8 | just coming in and jumping on our bed. We still didn't get any sleep but at least they were kind |
