Hey, everybody. Welcome to Why Mommy Drinks. Oh, this is Betsy Stover. You're beleaguered.

I think that's a word, host. Sometimes just getting recording is what my drive wanted to drink today. I am so happy to be joined by two amazing, funny, interesting people. I was a guest on their podcast, the no guilt mom podcast and now they are on my show. So please welcome the two co hosts of that show.

First of all, the founder of no guilt mom, Joanne Crone. Hello, hello. I'm so happy to be here. And Joanne's partner in crime, Bri Tucker. Oh, I hello, hello, everybody. How are you?

Oh, my God. We did it. We're recording. I know. 20 minutes later. And we, like, we have conquered zoo. I do need a drink after that. Yeah, we need a stiff drink. And Bri can't even drink stiff drink now because she's on the whole 30.

Oh, good for you. Yeah. We applaud her every day for that. For efforts. I have nine days left. Yeah. So close.

I am allegedly on Weight Watchers or WW as they like to be called now. And oh, gosh. Oh, boy.

We'll see. We'll see. We'll see.

So I have three kids. They are all boys. I have a six year old and nine year old and an 11 year old. Joanne, what have you got over there?

I have two kids. I have a 13 year old daughter. And I have an eight year old son. Wow. And what about you, Bri?

I also have two. I have a 13 year old daughter and a 14 year old son. So we're like you in a couple of years. Yeah.

We're like we're like ghosts of Christmas future. Well, because your children are so much to look for.

I mean, this isn't a no advice zone, but it's possible. You might be able to give me some advice based on my story this week.

I'm going to get right into it. Bike riding has been breaking me. Bike riding. Do your kids know how to ride bikes?

They do. My husband did it, though. I didn't. It would have broken me. Yeah. Yeah. And what about you, Bri?

They they know how to ride. My ex husband and I did that together when they were young. It was a big deal with us that they learned when they were young.

So we went through all the screaming and yelling about it when they were like five six. Okay. Well, here we are six, nine and 11.

And we are figuring this out now. My husband had it in his head on Christmas that he wanted to give them bikes.

So he got them bikes. And we live. What are you talking about? I didn't make a face.

And we live in the city like the city city proper. So not only is it, you know, tons of cars, but even just drive like riding or walking around the block.

You have to be really careful that someone doesn't back out of their driveway. And it's very, you know, it's, it's truly not super safe.

And it's not the kind of neighborhood where kids should be biking alone, because some crazy crackhead might come out and be doing something crazy. So

so our lifestyle is not super conducive to kids out on bikes. And, and that's a whole other thing. But
