Appearances
Yeah. Yeah.
Well, I've never heard either of them utter a bad word. So. No, but they they definitely hear.
Well, mom, mommy's allowed to. Yes, exactly. Well, I I do feel like I'm interviewing you here a little bit because it's our Mother's Day episode. You know, I want I want you to be able to share your experiences and I will get into it later. But, you know, I'm doing some family planning with IVF and embryo freezing. But I've asked you this before, but I think everyone everyone should hear it.
How did you know you were ready?
Yeah. And it seems like players, not everyone, but there is like this. There's the calendar. There is the international calendar. When's the Olympics? When's the World Cup? But.
Freeze the eggs. Freeze the eggs. Freeze the embryos. How was the comeback? Because you you did you came back quickly. And it's yeah, it was amazing to follow when you were in Orlando and seeing how far up to Rue's birth that you continue to train. But did you feel supported in all of that? Do you think we've made progress now? And
Yeah.
Well, we're getting slightly better at commenting on women's bodies and what women want to do with their bodies. But, uh, Still not all the way there. Nope.
How do you feel like your dynamic as a mom of one and then two? Like... How did that change things for you?
Yeah.
Sid, Sid had a whoop. We got, I still wear mine. Sid doesn't wear hers all the time for good reason. But when we had them in Orlando and Sid would come to training and she, I think the kids were sick. Also, you guys went through and everyone had COVID and she would have 4%, 1%, 9% and go out and just Kill it in training. Go home. Take care of the kids. Something would be going on.
Cassius would have some soccer. And we would just ask you this kind of all the time. And you would just say, like, this is my life. Like, there's no... I can't not do it. I can't not... Take care of them, get them to where they need to be. And if they can't sleep, I can't sleep. But I go to work the next day and I keep doing it. And then we would go on the road.
And if she didn't bring the kids, we would just sleep for 14 hours and get back in the green.
So they have to compete. You tire them out. They do a dance battle in the living room. And someone wins that. And then they are also competing to see who will sleep next to you. It's really tough for these two kiddos.
Oh my gosh.
And... They wanted to kill each other all the time. Yeah. But I have seen a bit of a little bit reconciliation.
Well, you froze your eggs. Mm-hmm. Are you... You think another LaRue? Um...
That reminds me. Do you remember when you told me? Oh. I do.
When you made your comeback and. We're playing for Angel City and Cash is just the emotion he showed. Your bond is just so, so strong and it's so sweet, which is why it's so funny because she brings these two stunning Nike model children around us and is like, nah, you should wait. Like where they're wearing her jersey, like all of these things that I used to think about. But I took your advice.
I figured if... my best friend who is a mom is telling me, you know, finish your career, especially at this point, getting to the final chapter here, then I think I will wait. But I just... It's not just about playing and not wanting to take that time away or then after having a family to support, but like the time and the energy, but also just financially. It's... It's scary.
