Transcript

[Podcast Host]

Thank you to our presenting sponsor, Better Help. I think one of the hardest parts about motherhood is that there's never really an off switch. Even when the house is finally quiet, your brain is still going. You're thinking about your kids, your marriage, work, whether you're doing enough, whether everybody's okay. It's constant. And I think so many moms are carrying around this invisible mental load that nobody really sees. There's also this pressure to always be grateful and happy all the time because you love your family so much. But loving motherhood and still feeling overwhelmed sometimes can both be true at the same time. And I think more moms need to hear that. Having someone to talk to outside of your everyday circle can really help you work through all of those thoughts and feelings. Therapy can be a place to reset, check in with yourself, and get support while you're taking care of everyone else. BetterHelp makes getting started simple. You fill out a short questionnaire and get matched with a licensed therapist based on your needs and preferences. If you ever want a different match, you can switch therapists anytime, BetterHelp has more than 30,000 therapists worldwide and has helped millions of people globally.

Hello, and welcome to another episode of Chrisley Confessions 2.0. Yes. I don't normally do the introduction, but Todd is away this week, so I am fortunate enough to have nanny here. Todd usually is the one that gets to have nanny on, so I am super excited for this episode today and to delve into all the good stuff. Hi.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

Hi. How you doing?

[Julie Chrisley]

I'm good. I just saw you. We drove here together, so we're not normally on here. Just the two of us.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

No, they don't allow us. I just have to bail him out every once in a while.

[Julie Chrisley]

Oh, gotcha. I hear you. I hear you. So when I asked nanny if she would be On Today she was like, sure, we'll just talk crap about Todd.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

Well, that's a good subject.

[Julie Chrisley]

So, you know, we have, we've kind of been going through this new phase of life recently, right?

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

A real phase of life.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yes. So nanny is with us, like with us at home now. And you know, people ask me all the time, is that hard? Is it hard having your mother in law live with you? And I can honestly tell you that it's not.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

I don't pay any attention. I do what I want to do.

[Julie Chrisley]

But I mean, we don't really have an issue. I mean, you know, our house is kind of crazy right now because it's full. There's like we're running over, we're still trying to get our house fixed. So it's, it's a little bit different. It's not the ideal situation, let me say that. But I feel like we have made the best of it.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

I just get up and do the best can every day. Doesn't make any difference. You pick up, put up, do what you want to. I get ready to go somewhere, I say bye.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

And I go, right?

[Julie Chrisley]

You do, you do. But you, but you've been a little, I don't want to say under the weather. You haven't been under the weather. But you have had this issue with your knee.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

Oh, that's a bad situation. Yes. But I hope to get it fixed tomorrow.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yes.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

So I'll be on the go again.

[Julie Chrisley]

So Nanny is a believer that her knee issues stem from her Covid shot that she got. It was okay, just tell everybody because then I'm gonna follow it up to say that we've actually told this to a few different doctors. Right. Okay.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

I've been blessed. I've never taken medicine, I've done well. And you know, we were doing the show, right. So, you know, I'm the oldest, so they tried to protect me, begged me to take the shot. I didn't want to. But you know what? That's what I say. Don't be a follower. Be your own self. Because I wish I'd have never taken it. Right. I taken two and when I ended my last one three weeks later, I was in a restaurant and I started to scoot out and my leg gave away with me. And I've had problems with it ever since. And all these doctors say it's arthritis. I'm not going to say I'm almost 82, that I don't have no arthritis. But listen, I've been able to do anything I've ever Wanted to do until my knee gave away with me. So I just say it looks pretty positive that that was the problem.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right? So this is. She swears by this. Now, we're not medical professionals. We're just telling her story and what she believes, right? So we did have a doctor that said, okay, there's been some studies that say that the shot has caused different issues, right? And then we just saw a doctor and he said, well, Nanny, I'm not going to say that it did or that it was or it wasn't caused by that, but he said after he took the shot that he became lactose intolerant almost immediately. So who knows? I don't know, but we're gonna go with it.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

Okay, well, I'm an example.

[Julie Chrisley]

Okay? Now, she does have arthritis. She's fought against that now. I mean, cause for a few years now. Remember the last time when I took you and the doctor said, ma', am, you have arthritis? She looked him straight in the face and said, no, I don't. Well, listen, so she does have arthritis. I have arthritis. So I know everybody does, right? So we went to the doctor and I finally talked her into going to the doctor. I've been saying, nanny, you need to go to the doctor. We need to find out what's going on with your knee. So. Because it's really the only thing that's holding you down is this knee issue.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

And I don't want that.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right? So we go to the doctor, he does an X ray and he says, Ms. Chrisley, it is past bone on bone, past. Like, you can literally see in the X ray where the bone is like, just like crushing the bone on top of it. Like, you can see where it's not good. Which explains your lack of mobility, it explains your pain, everything, right? So tomorrow we are gonna go for a procedure and hopefully this will give you some relief. It's not a fix, but it's gonna give you some relief. And that'll give you a little bit of time to think about the knee replacement. And you know, you're going on Good girl Rx as soon as she has this procedure. So we're hoping to drop a little weight to help with that. And if you do in fact have to do the knee replacement, they have told you that dropping a little weight will help make your rec better. So.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

And it'll make me look better too.

[Julie Chrisley]

Oh, my Lord. Now she's worried about how she looks at 82.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

Well, you gotta always worry about how you look, right? So. And I wanna do my best this

[Julie Chrisley]

is our medical journey that we're on right now. So we'll see what happens, and I will definitely give you an update. But so we're going to the doctor tomorrow, and folks, she is not the best patient. Well, I'm just gonna say it is such a blessing because you. Other than your bladder cancer, and I don't want to diminish that because that was a horrible thing, but other than that, you have never really been sick. Like, that was the first time you were ever put to sleep was when you had your bladder cancer.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

I've been blessed. And that's why I know arthritis don't start in a day.

[Julie Chrisley]

So the good to that is that she has been healthy her whole life. Really. The bad thing is, is that she's not a real good patient.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

But I can't stand pain, though.

[Julie Chrisley]

She says, no, she does not have a high tolerance for pain, folks. So I am. I'm going to say my prayers tonight and hope and pray that it goes good tomorrow. Because, listen, we've had some experiences with pain. Like, she don't even like to go to the chiropractor. One day, she calls me. She says, julie, I gotta do something. I've got a crick in my neck. It hurts me so bad. I said, okay, I'll take you to the chiropractor. I pick her up, take her to the chiropractor. We get there. Oh, I can't do it. I can't do it. I said, lay down. She said, I can't do it. It hurts so bad. I said, it's not gonna get better if you don't let this chiropractor do what they do. Oh, my Lord. It was like having a toddler in there. But I love you anyway.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

But anyway, tell them what you did. She pushed me down.

[Julie Chrisley]

I said, lay down. I didn't bring you up here for you not to get this done. Lay it down. It was like I was talking to one of the kids, and we did. And was it better?

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

Yeah, I walked out better.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right. But listen, she takes no medicine. Like, you understand? I go with her to every doctor's appointment, and they'll ask her. Ms. Chrisley, we need your list of medications. I don't take any. And they look at me literally. Like, one time at Vanderbilt, the nurse stopped me out in the hallway, and she's like, I just want to make sure, you know, does Ms. Chrisley have dementia or anything? Because she's telling us that she doesn't take any medication. I said, no, she has no dementia. And no, she takes no medication. She's like, none. She was like. I'm like, no nothing. She's like, do you understand? I have worked in this geriatric side of this hospital for nine years, and I have never met a patient that doesn't take one medication. I said, well, you have now.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

Well, I'm blessed.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

And I'm gonna have my knee done and I'll be on the run again. Oh, my Lord.

[Julie Chrisley]

She's like a teenager trying to escape.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

Well, I'm trying to escape. Work with old age.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

And listen, let me tell you, young children, enjoy your life now. Don't holler. I can't wait till I'm retired. That's your worst time of your life.

[Julie Chrisley]

Why do you say that?

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

Well, look at me now.

[Julie Chrisley]

I don't. But, folks, you have to understand. Nanny thinks that a job is the key to everything. Like, she's trying to find a job right now when I get better, because she feels like that your life is not complete without a job.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

No. I've been working my whole life, right? I never have known when I didn't work.

[Julie Chrisley]

Todd's like, mama, just enjoy your life. Do what you want to do.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

Well, I do what I want to do, but I can still have a job and do that, too, right?

[Julie Chrisley]

Now, listen, I want to talk about. This is just me and you talking here. Okay? Tell me how. How is it living with Todd again?

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

Well, you heard what I told him the other day. I said, you look better going up those stairs than you do coming down. He said, mama, you worser than any child that I have. I said, well, you shouldn't want me here.

[Julie Chrisley]

Well, but he says, you might as well get used to it.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

I know it, but he thinks I'm going to stay forever. But I am going to visit and stay a lot, but not all the time, okay? That's the way it is.

[Julie Chrisley]

And he says, mama, you need to just get that out of your head. I know, but you're gonna be with me wherever I go, you go.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

I know, but I'm not ready for that. Yeah. Maybe I got 10 more years before I'm ready to be complete, live along with y'. All.

[Julie Chrisley]

Oh, okay. Okay.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

I got things to do.

[Julie Chrisley]

Well, you can still do all those things.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

No, it ain't always in the same place.

[Julie Chrisley]

Okay?

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

So, you know, I have to. You know, I do a lot of things cross country.

[Julie Chrisley]

Oh, okay. Got you. Got you.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

So I don't want to be.

[Julie Chrisley]

You want to be able to travel.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

I want to be able to go when I want to. I mean, I can go when I want to. Nobody's got no chains balling chains on me. I can do what I want to. But you know, I try to be a little bit better that when I go out my door, I can close it and I don't have to worry about nobody inside and worrying about what I'm doing.

[Julie Chrisley]

Okay. Cause Todd kind of likes to get up in your business sometimes.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

Yeah, he likes to think he's the mama and I ain't died and left him at yet. So that's just what it is.

[Julie Chrisley]

He likes to think he's the boss.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

Like I'm a child.

[Julie Chrisley]

What? He tries to tell you what to

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

wear, what to eat and mama do something. Talks about my hair, wants me to go get it cut. He wants me to go do it this way. Well, I'm not gonna do any other way. I bur this white hair, so I'm going to wear it.

[Julie Chrisley]

Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha. Think Dr. Squatch is some small wholesome company? Burt's Bees native. Well, think again. They've all been bought out by mega corporations and private equity firms who hijack these beloved brands and filled them with the same corporate slop as everyone else. But one company is doing things differently. The Van man company. They started the tallow trend a few years back with their grass fed tallow moisturizers. And they've been crushing it ever since with hit after hit of clean, nearly edible solutions for everyday products. Here's the thing about tallow. It's the best moisturizer on earth. Because the fatty acids in tallow are nearly identical to the oils in our own skin, your body actually recognizes it. One use and you'll feel the difference. Your skin will be softer and smoother than anything you've gotten from a bottle full of chemicals and fillers. And because there's no filler garbage, a little goes a long way. This stuff actually works. Tallow balm isn't just a moisturizer, though. It can replace your lotion, your night cream, your wrinkle cream, even Neosporin and diaper balm. It's powerful enough to heal the skin, yet safe enough to spread on your toast. Now that's real ingredients ready to ditch the corporate chemicals. Go to Vanman Shop Chrisley and use code Chrisley for 15% off your first order. That's Vanman. Shop Chrisley and use code Chrisley for 15% off your first order. Van man real ingredients. No exceptions. You know, most parents aren't aware that 50% of kids suffer from hidden hunger. Hidden hunger comes from picky eating, processed snacks, or even a lack of nutrient rich soil in the fruits and vegetables they eat. So if you have a picky eater or a kid who only wants to eat chicken nuggets, you're likely going to experience big emotions and frequent outbursts, trouble concentrating and not being able to stay calm. The best way to support their mood and behavior is to give their brain the nutrients it needs for healthy growth and development. That's why I'm obsessed with First Day Daily Multivitamins. It's one of the first brands with vitamins designed to fight hidden hunger and nutrient gaps. First Day makes clean science backed multivitamins for kids, teens and adults. And I actually have Chloe taking First Day Daily Multivitamin because I want to make sure that when she does make choices that they're good choices. I love that. First Day is extremely transparent about what goes into their products. No added sugar and no artificial ingredients. One thing I didn't realize at first is that vitamins shouldn't be one size fits all. Your nutritional needs change as you grow. And that's why I love First Day because they have age specific daily vitamins and they're trusted by over 1 million families. Clinically absorbable, family safe, actually effective for a limited time only. Our listeners are getting an insane deal.

Yeah. And that's the way I'm on it.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right? But now, the other day, Todd says, all right, now I'm going to be gone. And she said, how long? He said, I'm just going to be gone for like two days. She said, that ain't too long.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

Oh, Lord. When he comes in, he starts on the side. What y' all been doing? Where'd y' all go? It's like writing a book.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah. What are we gonna eat for dinner?

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

He said, oh, I don't want that. Now. Sunday I cook chicken and dumplings. Cause that's what Chase wanted me to do. He said, nanny, I'm gonna be leaving. I got two more days. He said, please make us some chicken dumplings. I told Julie, I said, julie, I'm gonna make some chicken dumplings. Cause they don't like to eat them in the summertime. The house is cool. So me and Chase don't care. Right. So we made. I made the dumplings. Next thing, she was cooking something for him. But he was in the chicken and dumplings, too.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yes, he was. So I could have just avoided all that.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

That's what I'm saying. You the one that created the monster. Cause now I was.

[Julie Chrisley]

No, no, you created it.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

No, I cooked and put on the table what I had. And he ate it.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah. Yeah. He does have too many choices. Yeah, well, but this is what he does when he can't sleep at night, he sends me recipes or things he wants to try. Not even recipes, just pictures of things that he wants to try. Right. And then he'll be like, can we have that tomorrow? Literally. What did I make that day? I made. Oh, I made him a meal after his workout, which was brown rice, black beans, avocado. So I made that for him. Then I made a cream cheesecake. It was pretty good, right? It was something different.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

I love it.

[Julie Chrisley]

It was something different. And I made a homemade whipped cream to go on top, and I washed and cleaned all of the berries and had those for the sun. Then for dinner, he wanted these spinach and ricotta pastries, so I made those. And then I made a tomato and cucumber salad to go with it. And then he was in your chicken and dumplings. So really, he ate that spinach does that spinach pastry. But he really didn't want it because he had already eaten chicken and dumplings. But he wasn't going to tell me that because I had literally spent the whole day in the kitchen.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

I know it. And I wash dishes all day. That's too much work for that little food.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

So I blame you. Cook. Don't. Gene never knew what I was having. I could.

[Julie Chrisley]

I've given him too many options, I think.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

Yeah, that's exactly right.

[Julie Chrisley]

But I do love to cook and I do love to try new things, but he's getting a little carried away with it. He needs to sleep. Instead of being up on social media

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

all night and trying to find a

[Julie Chrisley]

recipe, trying to find something for me to cook.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

Anything that he sees, he's not gonna eat it. He's gonna go right back to what he grew up doing.

[Julie Chrisley]

I know. I know. He does that. And then he finds all these products that he wants me to buy. He is like the poster child. Like these companies, the people that they target. He is that person. Because literally, you know, I went to Target the other day, and I come in. I had. I had. And I had to go one other place to get something else. But there was like five or six different products that he wanted to try, okay? And I'm like, okay. And he doesn't even know what they are. He just sees them, and he sees these ads, and then he wants them, right? One of them, y' all have oily skin, right? You have oily skin. He has oily skin. Why would you want me to buy a product for dry skin? I said, todd, you've got this that you've sent me a picture of. Because this is what he does, folks. Doesn't just click on it to buy it, but he will screenshot it, send it to me. Then I've got to do the research and find it, right? So I'm researching. This product is for dry skin. I said, why do you want this product for dry skin when you have oily skin? Oh, well, then I don't want that. So he don't even. He just wants it. He just sees it. It's a good story. It's a good ad, and he wants to buy it.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

You know what I would do for him? I say, I don't have time to go to all these places to buy products for you and worry about trying to fix you something deep. Cause I know it's something different than what I'm used to cooking. So either I go hunt products or I cook. So what do you want me to do?

[Julie Chrisley]

Because we can just be like you and use dawn dish soap.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

That's exactly what I do.

[Julie Chrisley]

Nanny, that's awful.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

No, it isn't. Look at my skin. I've been doing it since Dawn. You don't have to worry about it. Go get you a washcloth, put you somewhere, wet it, put you some dawn dish soap on wash. It don't take you all day. It takes the mascara off. It takes everything. Listen, they used it in the Gulf oil spill to clean the birds. It didn't kill them, and so it helped them. So look at me. I've been using it 15, 20 years.

[Julie Chrisley]

I know, Nanny, but that's not really good for your skin.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

Well, it looks to me like it's done pretty good.

[Julie Chrisley]

I mean, your skin is pretty, but I just don't know that's the right thing to use. But so I found all of his products. So he was happy. So he got fed and he got his products. Now what? Now ask me a week from now if he's used them products.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

Probably not, no. Well, you the fool for going doing it. Well, I say I got things to do. I have. I cannot go buy Pacifiers all day. The pacifier, You. No, I'm not doing that. No.

[Julie Chrisley]

Well, I just need you to step in and tell him.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

Okay, well, I will. I mean, I tell him all the

[Julie Chrisley]

time, but then he says, mama, stay out of it.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

No, get in your lane. Yeah, but he veered over into mine. I'm trying to get him straightened out.

[Julie Chrisley]

The weather is heating up in Nashville, and I'm sure it is where you are, too. I mean, I love the summer, but I really do hate to be hot. And nothing is worse than sleeping hot. Sheets stuck to your leg, hair matted to the back of your neck. Neck. Sometimes you have to just crank the AC down to 65 to feel human. Sleeping hot is miserable. You've blamed the thermostat, the mattress, even the person sleeping next to you. And trust me, I do that because he has a tendency to turn the AC up, not down. But it's really none of that. It's your bedding. Wrong. Sheets trap heat. Bowl and branch is the cool side of the pillow. But everywhere.

Okay, I want to take a minute to share something really important to me, and that's Good Girl Rx, a female focused health and wellness company created by my daughter, Savannah. As women, we so often put everyone else first and ignore our own health. Or we're just told to push through instead of being truly listened to. What I love about Good Girl Rx is that it's built around real medical care and compassion. Through their telehealth platform, women can meet virtually with licensed medical providers who take the time to review your health history and goals. If it's clinically appropriate, your provider may discuss personalized treatment options, including GLP1 medications like tirzepatide as well as wellness therapies such as nad. Everything is determined by a doctor and tailored to the individual. As a mother, it means everything to me that this company was created to help women feel supported instead of judged. Everyone's journey is different, results vary, and not everyone qualifies. But having access to licensed physicians who truly listen can make all the difference. If you're ready to take a step toward prioritizing your health, visit goodgirlrx.com and use code CONFESSIONS15 for 15% off at checkout. Medical care is provided by licensed physicians with VRBoCare.

[Jake Stauch]

I'm Jake Stauch, co founder and CEO of Cervel. We built Servl to automate the IT work that slows companies down. Onboarding, password resets, accessed applications. My laptop stopped working. While employees wait for help, their real work is put on hold. It desperately wants to automate this work, and that's why they need Serval. You just tell Servil what you want to automate in plain English and it's built. No drag and drop workflows, no expensive consultants. Employees get unblocked and IT teams go from drowning in tickets to building what actually matters. With Cerval, it becomes the AI engine powering the entire company. This is a new way to run it. We guarantee you'll automate 50% of all tickets. And we'll prove it to you in a free four week pilot. Go to cervel.com tickets. That's S E R-V-A L.com tickets.

[Julie Chrisley]

Speaking of varying into lanes, we almost had two wrecks on the way here.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

I know. That's why I told you.

[Julie Chrisley]

And it was not our fault. Two people came over on us this morning two different times. And we're not ten minutes from here.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

Listen, that's the devil after you. And that's why I told you, you better slow down, get over near the wall so we can get there.

[Julie Chrisley]

Listen, tracking bad here.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

I know it.

[Julie Chrisley]

I mean, it really is. But that was two almost accidents that happened to us.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

Like they ran over us.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

Two of them made me grab my purse. And you hollered,

[Julie Chrisley]

nanny. Whoo. Oh, oh. I said, I know. I don't know what. There wasn't anywhere I could go. But luckily they didn't hit us, so that was a good thing.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

Well, he's probably in a la la

[Julie Chrisley]

land, not paying attention.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

And that's what I tell everybody. I tell all of y', all, don't be trying to text. Don't be trying to look at Facebook. Pay attention. But they always say, nanny, you don't know how to drive. And look at the speeding tickets. Look at all the stuff. Not me, not nanny.

[Julie Chrisley]

No, no. You might hit a curb every once in a while.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

I'll straight out and get off that curb. No, now say nanny drives 30 miles going down the interstate. No, but I tell them. That's why they make rules.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

And you go by them, if they want you to go 85, they'd say, speed limit 85. Speed limit 70. So now if you go on 72, 73, I'm not gonna bitch about that much, Right? But if I'm gonna fly down the interstate, I'm just going to the airport and get on a plane.

[Julie Chrisley]

Well, okay. I try to do better when I'm in the car with you because I know you are.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

I cannot stand it. I told Savannah I don't even want to ride with her. I said, savannah, if you don't slow down, you can stop putting me out. I'll call me a Uber.

[Julie Chrisley]

It was that bad?

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

It's that bad. Well, they don't think it is when speed limit's 70 and you're doing 80. Listen, I'm not planning on flying. If I had, I'd have went to the airport, right? I got on a plane and then I let the pilot take care of It Right. Not over here. Mm. Mm. I don't ride with them. I can't.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

I just rather stay home.

[Julie Chrisley]

Wow. You know. Well, you don't want to stay home now.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

No. Because I got a car and I can drive.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yes. I do mean you've been St. Louis two weekends in a row. We went once for a wedding party that was a lot of fun. And you got to gamble. I got to gamble. And then you went last weekend with Amber. Yep.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

And Chris, my niece.

[Julie Chrisley]

And got to gamble a little bit more.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

Yeah. Have fun.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah. So tell me what you want to do this summer. What are your plans? What do you want to. I know you want to go back to South Carolina for a little bit.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

I'm going back to South Carolina for five or six weeks. I got things I got to do, folks.

[Julie Chrisley]

When she says she's got things, she always has this huge list of things to do.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

But I don't get. Always get them done.

[Julie Chrisley]

No. Because she has somebody to go out to lunch with, somebody to go out to dinner with, somebody to go to the ice cream parlor with. That's about right.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

They probably like the kids that we got to go places. It's like Randy said, mama, you going to eat with me tonight? Who's picking you up? I said, well, if you want to cook, I just won't go with nobody tonight. Then I have my cousin, he gets mad if I go off with somebody else. He wants me to go with him and his girlfriend all the time.

[Julie Chrisley]

So they just. She just really goes to South Carolina to go out to eat with him.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

Well, I go socialize. I got a lot friends in South Carolina. Yeah.

[Julie Chrisley]

Okay.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

Just like I do everywhere. I go with everybody.

[Julie Chrisley]

Okay, so you're gonna do that then?

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

I'm going to Fairhope, Alabama. Yeah.

[Julie Chrisley]

I think I might want to go there too. I might want to go there for a few days. You know, I've heard great things about Fairhope, Alabama.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

Oh, it's the great. And I'm not gonna say it's the greatest. Cause I've been in a lot of good places. Right. But it's one of the choices. Okay. The people are great, but now let's. Nobody ever bothered me. They love me and I love them.

[Julie Chrisley]

I love them. Your friend has a restaurant down there. So I want to go down there and go to the restaurant.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

They have a lot of good eating places.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

And you know, it's not very far from Biloxi. About 50 miles. 50, 60 miles?

[Julie Chrisley]

Yes, yes.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

So you can go there if you want to go To Pensacola. To the Gulf Shores. The Gulf Shores. It's not about eight miles from my friend's place. Okay, so you could do that. You can just do whatever you want to.

[Julie Chrisley]

Okay.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

So I'm going there, and then I'm going to Massachusetts with my friends.

[Julie Chrisley]

Massachusetts. Okay.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

And we're going to Connecticut. To Foxfire.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

And then we get to gamble all in Massachusetts. And we're going to Rhode Island.

[Julie Chrisley]

Well, nanny, your summer's. You into the fall by now.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

I know it. Well, if it goes over into the fall, then I'll just keep on going.

[Julie Chrisley]

But that'll be nice to go there. I've never spent much time in that part of the country.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

I haven't ever been there.

[Julie Chrisley]

It would be nice to go to the Northeast.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

See, there was some good friends that I met in Fairhope. So they gonna fly to Nashville. I'm getting on the plane with them in Nashville and we gone.

[Julie Chrisley]

Oh, okay. Okay. So that's.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

We already got the plans.

[Julie Chrisley]

Oh, well, that'll be good. Well, listen, then we gotta get this knee situated.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

I know. Listen, this thing's got to go.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah. Cause you don't have time for this.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

No. Cause I don't have no time for this foolishness. Cause it slows me down a little bit.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

And I can't walk as fast.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right. We spent some time in Texas. Got to go to Texas. Very nice people.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

Oh, yeah, I love it. The people there are so. But listen, you know, it's hard to say because, you know, I always say, put forth an effort, right. And then see what you get.

[Julie Chrisley]

So this is how Nanny operates, too. So she says when she moved to Atlanta, she didn't really. She was like, you know, I'm happy in South Carolina. But then when she got there and Alpharetta, you loved it.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

Yeah, I did.

[Julie Chrisley]

Loved it. Then we said, okay, we're gonna move to Nashville. I don't want to move to Nashville. I don't want to move to Nashville. I love my house. I love my neighborhood. I love my area. I don't want to leave Alpharetta. So then you got to Nashville. I love Nashville. I don't ever want to leave Nashville.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

This is sort of like paradise to me. I love it.

[Julie Chrisley]

So I. She loves Nashville. So. So now that we're moving to Texas, I don't know that I really want to go to Texas. I love Nashville. But once she gets there, she's going to love it just like she does every other place.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

I know, but I have to leave. Look at all my friends. I'm leaving.

[Julie Chrisley]

Well, your friends, you've just said they're all over the world. Your friends are all over the country.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

I know that. I can just go anywhere. It doesn't make any difference.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right. So whether you're here or there, I

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

kind of like to lay my head down in Nashville.

[Julie Chrisley]

Okay, Gotcha.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

But you know what?

[Julie Chrisley]

But trust me, she's gonna like Texas. And she's gonna.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

Yeah. I'll be close to one of my friends I've been friends with for probably 60 years.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

And I'll get to visit her. They're a little bit older than me.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yep.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

But she's cancer free now.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

And she's 91, and Roy's 96, and him and Gene was in the Korean War together. So we've been friends a long time. A long time. Okay, so I'll be an hour and a half from her.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

And so.

[Julie Chrisley]

And there's a casino there, about nine

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

or 10 in Shreveport. And then, you know what? Since they're doing well now and she's cancer free, y' all got years. Listen, we might get in that new truck they got and tell you where Roy might take us.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah. We're going to talk about driving.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

Yeah. And he does. He drives to Pittsburgh.

[Julie Chrisley]

Oh, my word. That's crazy.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

Nanny and their son don't want them doing it. But they say, listen, we got to live our life, you live yours, right?

[Julie Chrisley]

Right. So, Nanny, you're going to love Texas. I know that. I just gotta get you there. Nanny doesn't like change.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

No, change is not good for you.

[Julie Chrisley]

You don't like change. But really and truly, you are so good with it. Cause most people your age are like, they don't even have an open mind about anything. And at least you do. You have an open mind about certain things. And you understand, okay? There's business opportunities and things for us to do and. And you know, all this stuff. So you do get that part of it.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

Well, I do. But, you know, I really want to play right now.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

And do what I want to do. But, you know, I can. I can get on a plane.

[Julie Chrisley]

So I'm telling you folks, it's like having another child. I have determined I'm going to raise kids my entire life, but I'm going

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

to be the best I can.

[Julie Chrisley]

Okay?

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

But I can get on a plane and go visit all my friends, right?

[Julie Chrisley]

That's said, Todd said, mama, you're gonna be fine right there. You can get on a plane, you can go wherever you want to go. I'll make sure of It. So we'll let you know how it goes, folks.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

Just stay tuned. You'll get. You'll get.

[Julie Chrisley]

And she'll be loving it. She'll be loving it.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

Well, I don't know so much about that, but anyway, I got things to do a little bit in South Carolina with all my friends there.

[Julie Chrisley]

Her friends. Mm.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

And they can.

[Julie Chrisley]

You know, she has developed all these friends later. I mean, she's got them from a long time ago, but she's developed a lot here recently.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

Well, I'm never listening.

[Julie Chrisley]

And keep in mind, years ago, she said, you don't need friends. To hell with a friend. You don't need friends. And now this one has more friends than you can shake a stick at.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

Well, now, I didn't mean that. I didn't. You didn't need friends. But you know what? When you're raising children.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

And you have a home.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yes.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

And then a job. And I was working 12 and 16 hours every day. I don't even know how I ever accomplished all that. I did. I worked in all those hours taking care of three children.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yes.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

And us working every day. Come home, cook supper. That's what Randy said. Mama, of all my growing up years. No matter how many hours you worked, 8 hours, 10 hours, 12 hours, or whatever, you always come home and put a meal on the table. But, see, I never asked nobody. Sometimes I'd say, jean, what would you like to have for dinner tonight? Now, why would I say that? Because you gonna cook whatever you want to.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah, maybe I'm gonna try that and see how it works out.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

But he never. No. Although he didn't care.

[Julie Chrisley]

No, he didn't care about him.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

Did you ever hear him say, no, I don't like this.

[Julie Chrisley]

No. No, he wouldn't.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

And if I was having something that I know he didn't like everything, I just cook him some cornbread. He'd eat cornbread, milk.

[Julie Chrisley]

And he was fine.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

He was good.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah. Todd didn't get that from him.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

And you'll. Poor little Savannah. And them, they'll say, nanny, you made Papa do everything. I said, your papa didn't do nothing till y' all come along. He never changed a diaper. He never fixed a bottle. But when them grandbabies come along, listen, he do a lot. And, you know, after we moved to Atlanta, I truly got to say he did a lot.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

Because now his job was vacuuming. His job was a lot of things, right?

[Julie Chrisley]

Vacuum and dust.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

And he'd say, when I come back, and he'll say, well, I pledged And Windexed everything in the house. And, you know, he always unload the dishwasher. Always. That was his job.

[Julie Chrisley]

So Todd might. Maybe it's coming later in life.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

Yeah. Because, you know, Gene didn't do anything much.

[Julie Chrisley]

No, no, no.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

He cut the grass, kept the cars clean. But anything in the house, that wasn't his job. And one day I. When I'm missing him so bad, I think about this. I don't know where I was going, but I had a few towels in the dry washing machine. And I said, he's sitting over there in his recliner. And I said, gene, I said, when that machine stopped, do you mind putting those towels in the dryer? He said, oh, I guess you want me to take on that job now. But when I come back home, he had them dried, and he didn't fold them up like me, but he had them folded up.

[Julie Chrisley]

You remember that? Yeah.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

Thing over the machine where you had to fold up everything. He had them folded up. And I went over and hugged him and thanked him, But I never did tell him that I refolded them and put them in a linen closet. Cause he did his best, right?

[Julie Chrisley]

Right. Now, Todd will do laundry. I'm not just gonna bash him today. Since it's just a. He will do laundry. And he don't mind doing laundry.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

No.

[Julie Chrisley]

And he'll always say, well, when I do the laundry, the laundry room's clean. But when he does the laundry, that's all he does is laundry. He's not cooking a meal. He's not taking. Picking kids up from school. You know, none of that. He's just doing laundry. And I appreciate that. But it's a difference when you're being pulled in 50 different directions, you know?

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

But, you know, I remember when him and Randy and Steph was growing up, they had chores to do every day. And Steph was little, she had to Windex and pledge every day because if she missed the day of pledging, she'd get it tomorrow.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

So that was her job. By the time she was little, she did that. She was great at it. And I tell tonight, you know, I separated the house for things for them to do. And I said, this drawer better be cleaned out when I come home. You know, the junk drawer. And one day I came home, he had it clean, but he just took a trash bag and took the drawer out and dumped it all in the trash bag. That's the way he cleans. He throws everything away.

[Julie Chrisley]

Throws it all away, right? Yeah. Yeah. You can't leave it sitting around because he will throw it away, that's for sure.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

And I think about. Because they never really did anything bad, you know, like bad things. They didn't. But, you know, I always put stuff in the freezer every year, you know, from different people in the community and gardens. And I go by and I had some peas, and I was working in Jean. And I told him, I said, now when I get home, those better be shelled. Well, when I come home, I had a little pot on the table. Well, I knew I had more than that, right? And I said, where's those hulls at? They're out there in the trash. I go out there and they had them tied up. Half of my peas was in there. So I brought them back in and I poured them out and I made them separate the hulls and made them. You got your peas?

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

So they never did try that trick again. Yeah, the kids will do anything if you let them. But I always stayed on mine.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah, that's a good thing. I didn't. You said this to me the other day, Julie. These kids and this laundry, they won't pick up. I've said it. I've said it so many times. The biggest disservice that I did my kids was not making them do, you know, like. Like when, you know, we lived in Atlanta, you know, I worked. I had my real estate company, and I took care of my kids. I never had a nanny. If my kids stayed with anybody, it was y' all or it was my parents. That was it. And I thought, okay. But I had somebody helping the house that was there. And Todd likes the house a certain way, and it just makes our life better, go smoother. Right. When he walks in and everything's clean

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

and nothing and nothing's out, Right?

[Julie Chrisley]

So they grew up coming home from school every day or activities, you know, and their rooms were clean, their beds were made, laundry was. You know, I did the laundry. But still, they didn't have those responsibilities. And it really is where we failed this. I mean, because they know how to do it and they can do it. They just don't.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

But they don't. They won't even put a salt and pepper shaker back in the cabinets.

[Julie Chrisley]

I know it's bad. It's really bad. I don't know what. Like, these boys, especially, like, when they have their own homes and their own families, I don't know what they're going to do, honestly.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

I told Chase this week. He went there and made him a tomato sandwich and left it sitting out. And, you know, where we keep the salt and pepper shaker. They was over there on the bar.

[Julie Chrisley]

I know, I know. He's.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

He does not pick up nothing.

[Julie Chrisley]

And they won't. None of them do laundry.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

No. They don't know how. They know how, but they don't want to.

[Julie Chrisley]

Nobody.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

All they want to do is take showers and use towels, put them in the laundry room, change clothes four or five times a day.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah, they're clean now. I got the cleanest kids in the world.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

But. But they dirty some loins, Grayson. Lord have mercy.

[Julie Chrisley]

We will.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

Those machines are good because they. They've outlasted him. Right. And. Oh, gosh. And I would tell him, but if I could have caught them clothes before they got mixed up with what. Cause there was none ever dirty.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

Because he changed her four times a day.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right. You'd have folded them up and he wouldn't have never put it.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

Hung them back up. He wouldn't. Never known. But he got them all mixed up. Then I had to do laundry. I did laundry all day, every day.

[Julie Chrisley]

I know it's hard. It's hard. I don't know how people do it. I mean, maybe they're better than we were because it's just. It's so hard.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

And they won't. If they get through, they won't even put a dish, rinse it out, put in the dishwasher. They won't not say wash it, just rinse it off.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah. The other day, Chase and Chloe were fighting about who was going to take the. The trash out.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

Literally.

[Julie Chrisley]

You were sitting there, they were fighting, the two of them.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

And she told me the other morning, she said, I'm going to take this out. Nanny. Nanny. But I'm not going to take it out. But I'm going to take it out of this trash can, and then I'm

[Julie Chrisley]

going to make Chase do it.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

Yeah.

[Julie Chrisley]

Tit for tat.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

Yeah. He said, because he's lazy, he don't do anything. He wants me to do everything, and I'm not going to do it. She took it out, tied it up, put it there at the end of the cabinet and put another. And yesterday morning when she got. Was getting ready, she said, who took the trash out? I said, chase did. Said, well, he didn't even put a bag in the trash can. So she went over there and got.

[Julie Chrisley]

Those two are just. I mean, they are a mess with each other because they go back and forth and back and forth, and he's not going to do more than her, and she's not going to do More than him.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

And she said, I'm not good. I said, would you take his clothes upstairs? No, nanny, I'm not doing that.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right. I said, chloe, that is your brother. Take your stuff. Take his stuff up there. Just. I'm not. No, I'm not doing that. No. He needs to get his own stuff. That's what she says.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

Yes, he's not doing anything. Yeah, he needs to come and get his own stuff and take it up there.

[Julie Chrisley]

I said, well, then you go up there and tell him. And then they come down and start.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

And then I guess it kept my blood going. Yeah, it does, because I don't have high blood pressure.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

So it kept it blowing pretty fast.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah, but not.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

It does.

[Julie Chrisley]

I believe that. I believe that it gives you something to live for. Cause they always got something going on, that's for sure.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

And what gets me, ain't no one of them wants to do laundry.

[Julie Chrisley]

They don't want to do nothing except what they want to do, you know? And I have this conversation with people all the time that have children that are like young adults, you know, and they're. I literally was talking to a friend of mine yesterday, and I said, oh, because they had been kind of like on the fence where they were going to sell their house or, you know, get something else. And she said, you know, Julie, we keep going back and forth, but these kids keep coming home. Like, these grown kids keep coming back. So how can I sell and get something smaller? I won't have anywhere to put them.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

Well, like I told you, you're gonna be a parent till the day you die.

[Julie Chrisley]

Well, I know, but I.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

And they're gonna always come back.

[Julie Chrisley]

But Lord have mercy. It's like, I don't want you to come back with your laundry.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

Well, you gonna get it and all your stuff.

[Julie Chrisley]

But it's like Todd said. Todd said, julie, we complain if they don't come home to see us, and then we complain if they hear too long. So you know what it is, what it is.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

But, you know, the sweetest thing was when Grayson went off to Alabama, and, you know, I stayed on him all time by that laundry. I washed every day. And one day he was coming home, and he called me, and he said, what you doing, nanny? I said, nothing. And we. I don't know what I was talking about. And he said, I bought you something. I said, what'd you buy me? I don't need anything. He said, you're going to love what I bought you. I said, what is it? He said, well, I said, where Is it? He said, it's in the back of my truck. Well, now, I'm not dumb. I said, well, how many trash bags of clothes you got? He started laughing. He said, I got you about three trash bags full of clothes.

[Julie Chrisley]

Oh, my gosh.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

So he brought in three big bags of clothes. It took me two or three days to get all them washed. And, you know, I'd iron his little shirts that, you know, make them look good. It took me three days to get all that done with all else I was doing. But I thought it was kind of sweet. He got me some.

[Julie Chrisley]

He got you some?

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

Yeah. And you gonna love.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah. Well, even. What was it last night? Savannah calls and says, nanny, what are you doing?

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

Nothing.

[Julie Chrisley]

You want to come over on Thursday? Well, you know what that means and

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

help me do my laundry.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah, help her do her laundry. That means, nanny, will you come over and do my laundry for me? Yeah. Cause she'll have.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

But, yeah, that makes.

[Julie Chrisley]

That.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

That makes me feel good. Really, because, you know, that's why I have such a good relationship with them. I can pitch at them all I want to. And that's not going to change.

[Julie Chrisley]

No, they still going to call you.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

They still going to come back. They going to call me. And I told Grayson, before he came home for his birthday, he called me, and I said, well, I don't. I call you, but you don't ever answer. And I said, so I just figure you busy doing your thing, so I just don't want to bother you. He said, nanny, I'm going to do better than that. I'm going to call you every day. I said, okay. But, you know, I hear from most of them every day, right? And I have to be thankful and blessed for that.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right? And they don't understand how blessed they are because, you know, there's some children that grow up and their grandparents live across the country, or, you know, there's some grandparents that don't really, you know, they don't have close relationships with their grandchildren, you know, so they don't have that. Now, my grandmother, she was, you know, you knew her.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

She was amazing.

[Julie Chrisley]

Like, we stayed with my grandmother growing up. My mother always worked, so my granny kept us. She. My mother took us to school. My granny picked us up. We stayed with her till my mom got off work every day. And, like, we grew up. And even, like, after I was married and had Chase and Savannah and they were babies, we would still go to my granny's on Sunday for lunch, you know, I mean, and that is such a blessing and People don't realize it,

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

you know, and really, grandparents that are really grandparents, they might say something about doing something for them, but they just do that because they really want to, right? It's like, you know, when I don't hear from one of them, because I know they all working, they're out doing their own thing. And I give them a little bit of time, a day or two, right? And if I hadn't heard from them in a day or two, I call them and they will answer, right? I gotta say that they will answer, right? As I hadn't died yet.

[Julie Chrisley]

Oh, my goodness.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

Anyway, I can say what I want to to them. They don't get mad at me, right?

[Julie Chrisley]

You don't have that fragile relationship that I have to walk around on, exercise,

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

comb my hair to go say something to them? No, I can say whatever I want to. And they just let it roll down their back.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah, we kind of have that in our family. We're not. We kind of just say whatever we want to say, don't we?

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

Yeah. And they don't know about it.

[Julie Chrisley]

And you can tell. Sometimes people look at us, they'll be

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

like, well, see, I can't. Because, see, I wouldn't know how to be the person that I am. Julie.

[Julie Chrisley]

Now, y' all have always been that way. I remember when I first got in this family, I was like, what in the world is going on? They've just hollered and going on with each other. And I'm like, oh, my God. And I remember one time then I was like, todd, is your mom and daddy all right? And he said, what do you mean? I said, well, they all right. Everybody was just hollering and going on. He said, jude, they gone. They in the car. They go in the casino. They good. I'm over here, like, scared to death. Like, oh, my God, what's going on?

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

We don't have to rub a piece of silk around us. You say what you want to. That's what I tell these. Now, listen, I've traveled a lot, met a lot of people my age and younger that's got grandchildren. And they'd say, nanny, can I ask you something? I said, you can ask me anything. How in the world do you maintain such a good relationship with all those grandbabies? Said, we knew that we were good grandparents. We did for them. But when they got grown, we never hear from them. I said, well, what you need to do is call and cuss them out. That's what happened. Say it.

[Julie Chrisley]

And that is the words of wisdom for today. If your grandkids, you don't hear from them, call and cuss them out. That'll just do it right there. Oh, gosh.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

Well, you know, maybe they need a wake up call.

[Julie Chrisley]

Well, they might. You might have to.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

I'll give them one.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right, Right. Well, we've got one more day before Todd comes back home.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

Well, we need to go do something then.

[Julie Chrisley]

So we'll have a little peace tonight. Right?

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

Well, act like he's bad, but he's not.

[Julie Chrisley]

No, he's not bad at all. No, he just aggravates us.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

No, because, Lisa, we ain't never had to worry about, is he gonna come home or is he gonna stay out? No, no, we. That's something I have never had to worry about.

[Julie Chrisley]

No, no, he's. He's a pretty good one. We're gonna keep him around.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

And you know what he told me the other day? He said, mama, you gonna go to Cayman with us? I said, no. Yeah, you are. I said, no, I'm not going to Cayman. He said, yeah, mama, you going. And don't tell nobody that you don't like it. I said, todd is one of the most beautiful places, one of the prettiest places I've been, but there's nothing for me to do except to eat and sleep, and I'm not doing that.

[Julie Chrisley]

Right. Right. There's no casino. Now, if there was a casino there, yeah, I would be ready. Bahamas. You're all about it.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

Yeah. I mean, Chase, me and Grayson's going.

[Julie Chrisley]

You are? Okay, me and Grayson, y' all going to the Bahamas.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

Going. Going to Bahamas.

[Julie Chrisley]

All right. Yeah.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

Now, I'm all for that.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yes.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

We'll go tomorrow if you can. When I get through my surgery, we'll be on a plane.

[Julie Chrisley]

She gonna be ready to go? Yeah, she's gonna be. Oh, maybe that's what we'll do. When you get through with your surgery and your rehab on your knee and you're ready to go, that's what we'll do. We'll hop on a plane and go to the Bahamas.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

He said, nancy, I can't wait. See, he can't gamble here. Just 20, right? And he said, we can go to the Bahamas. So he said. I said, well, I ain't got my passport, but I got it now.

[Julie Chrisley]

Yeah.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

So me and him, we don't have no reason.

[Julie Chrisley]

You're ready to go.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

No, you're ready to go. We'll try to see if we can get on that plane. And don't take long to go. We'll have us. We'd have us a bunch of fun, Right?

[Julie Chrisley]

So we can all just live our lives vicariously through Nanny. That's it. That's what we're going to do.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

Yeah, just get up, look in the mirror, and thank God that he let you get up.

[Julie Chrisley]

That's right, Nanny. I'm going to try to have your

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

positive attitude and say there's nothing going to come our way today that you and I can handle.

[Julie Chrisley]

That's right. That's right.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

And I'm gonna go.

[Julie Chrisley]

What more do you need?

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

I don't need anything else. I'm gonna brush my teeth, I'm gonna come in there, make me some coffee

[Julie Chrisley]

and start your day.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

Start my day.

[Julie Chrisley]

All right, well, let's go get on with the rest of our day. Thank you for being here with me. I can always count on you.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

I love it.

[Julie Chrisley]

All right. And we will. We'll do it again. We might let Todd join us the next. Next time. But.

[Nanny (Julie Chrisley's mother-in-law)]

Well, I enjoyed being on it and I hope y' all enjoy. And I love everyone.

[Julie Chrisley]
