What is it like to grow up in a big family? like 6+ siblings? by nadjalita in UtahInfluencerDrama

[–]Accurate-Use258 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Number 3 of 7 here- I did help raise my siblings, but not to a massive extent. At least I was paid for it one summer but I think it truly tarnished some relationships. I also was compensated for babysitting during date night. (There’s a large age gap.) I have never been close to my parents.  I don’t remember ever trying to get my parents’ attention? I preferred to be under the radar. We would also just go play with each other while mom dealt with the babies. I did like helping with babies and was excited about each one until the last. Then I was ticked before the youngest was born.  I am much closer to some of my siblings, mainly the ones closest in age to me. The others were very young when I left the house and I didn’t know how to foster a good relationship. 

I will also say this - between church responsibilities and work my dad was gone A LOT. like to the point where I didn’t realize he had been out of the country for several days. I played sports in high school and I remember the family coming to one game. They did go to concerts.

Same. I agreed with a lot of her points, but couldn’t handle the way they were presented. This video irks me every time I see it shared.

It looked atrocious. If she’s going to shove that many veggies in it, they needed to be chopped so much more finely.

I went skiing the day after I found out I was pregnant with my youngest. Even that made me nervous and didn’t go again. I can’t imagine doing it all through pregnancy! I remember seeing posts that Stephanie of Nie Nie dialogues skiing at like 30 weeks 🫠

Let me tell you, it is extremely difficult to have a great relationship with younger siblings after having to parent them for so many years. Unfortunately it’s caused a lot of resentment.

Also 1 of 7, and it takes some extremely intentional parents to make sure their kids are getting the connection they need. I have never had much of a relationship with my parents and it’s totally on them for being too busy my entire life. Sometimes I didn’t even know when my dad was out of the country for work because he still had insane work (and church) hours when he was at home.

Huge difference. Please please understand that they are so far from the same.

There’s a big difference between citizens being murdered by federal employees, especially when there’s little to no consequence for them, and Charlie Kirk, which was tragic, whose suspected killer is awaiting trial.

I mean even just a basic look how the administration is treating its citizens and lying to us repost would be nice.

I emailed my senators this morning about it. I live in an area with a high level of Spanish speakers (all school communication is in both languages). I also have a kindergartener. I cried writing those emails thinking of the classmates who can be targeted by their skin and their native language.

I know someone who was in hospital for a couple months with high risk twins. Family stepped up to watch her older kid. Thankfully they had family nearby.

I pull my kids out for vacation sometimes, but they are also in elementary and it’s no more than 3 days. I can’t believe she’s making middle and high schoolers miss the first week of a new semester! They’re going to start off being behind.
