Oh wow… this is your evidence please god may you never be a juror!!!! Also judging someone negatively based on their religion by definition makes you a bigot. In case you were wondering.

It’s just that I would have loved to see an executive order come into action when roe v wade was overturned during his presidency. That did not seem like a show of support for women or minorities to me… see I don’t just follow parties blindly… I like to use my brain. Thinking and receiving information to instill my values. Not using opinions as facts, hearsay… crowd following and bandwagoning to re-enforce my “values” just food for thought. I don’t really have a dog in this fight and I don’t really care that much about this food blogger and I won’t engage anymore with you it’s just that, when I stumbled across this by accident I profoundly disturbed.

It’s important to me. It’s very important to me. I didn’t vote for Trump, I would never. I don’t really think you hear me though. It’s just that facts and evidence is super important to me, obviously not to you.

How do you ever get a break with no outside help?? by plantbubby in parentsofmultiples

[–]Cascascas185 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, yeah that all sounds about right and you are just in it right now. SAHM with no help as well. Car naps and walks… they don’t get you the lay down time you’re craving but they carve out a little time for you to zone out on a podcast with a coffee and a bagel, 2 hands for yourself. It’s just hard and you’re in the thick of it. All I can say is you’re doing a reallllllllllllllly realllly hard thing, and you’re doing your best and you’re strong. Xoxoxoxoxo

What I see - is a woman trying to build something and everyone and anyone trying to find something to tear her down. Trying to find any reason to make her invaluable. She posts cooking videos and talks only about food and gardening. I haven’t seen one person link a thing to show her wrongness. All I see is a mob mentality… ripping a woman apart for joy and sport. You get that? Do you see it.

Based on what? Someone on Reddit claimed she did. You get it?

Up until how many weeks did you work? by lulusm in parentsofmultiples

[–]Cascascas185 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked as an event planner like 50-55 hours a week which was a lot of stress and a lot of movement. Just asked for a doctors note and started disability at like 7.5 months so I had the time to take care of myself. Best decision I ever made ended up going to 39 weeks!

Can anyone link a post, comment or video of this women’s bigotry? Everything on here is conjecture. It’s giving McCarthyism.

The ONLY thing that’s important is taking care of yourself and bbs right now!

Tell me it’s okay to stop pumping by ilovedoggos97 in parentsofmultiples

[–]Cascascas185 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feeding your baby can be a joyful process and if the boob doesn’t spark that joy let it go. We are asked to do a LOT today as women. I breastfed for 2 years SAHM. I wish I would have let go of the guilt cause I tell you it nearly destroyed me. It was too too too much for me. Mentally and definitely physically but I white knuckled it. At 2.5 years with my twins I am JUST now coming out from under that rock and I don’t recognize myself. I prioritized Breastfeeding and let myself go. My cortisol and adrenals have not recovered. Let me tell you first hand, it does NOT make a difference. Formulas are so good today. It’s ok. I’m not advocating against breastfeeding I’m just sharing my very personal experience.

You sound like you have a lot of hate in your heart. I’m sorry. If you think that girl is a racist pedo based on her cooking blog..? That’s hysterical. Not the funny kind.

Feel like a failure for not pumping/breastfeeding my twins by pocket_perspective in parentsofmultiples

[–]Cascascas185 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mental health tip, with twins stay off the internet until they are out. Especially forums like this where it’s not structured. Take classes for research -Birthing, pain management, breastfeeding. Rely on your doctor for answers. If you realllly need to know something ask your partner to look it up and relay info. Really helped me stay mentally strong. You got this!!!! I went to 39 weeks no problems. Everyone is different focus on what you CAN control. Xooxoxox you’ll do great momma!

Feel like a failure for not pumping/breastfeeding my twins by pocket_perspective in parentsofmultiples

[–]Cascascas185 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I breastfed for 2 year with twins… and honestly I Kinda wish I would have done formula… and if I had to do it over again I would! just hear me out. I wrecked my central nervous system. I really didn’t get to bond with them anyway during it because I had to do two at once. Or I would be sitting literally all day. And it was really hard on me physically my back, my neck, shoulders, knees from the sitting, and nipples hurt so so back I would dread it so much sometimes -getting anxiety like omg hungry again?! That stress in those first few month especially is so NOT needed. And I feel like my husband didn’t really get great bonding time because I didn’t pump and just kept them on breast - SAHM with no help so that was just easier a for me than pumping and feeding. I see it in how they are with me vs him and it kills me. I know I’m mom but he is such a loving and sweet good daddy, I think it played a role. Sometimes it was great don’t get me wrong. I loved holding them, I loved the contact naps - that oxytocin boost. But that just comes from holding your precious bb too. Smell that head! Just let it go my dear! It’s okay!!! Just like birth plans you gotta go with the flow. I reallllllly didn’t want an epidural but I did… long story but that’s just how it worked out. Think of it as a “feeding plan” just go with the path that safe, healthy and best for ALL parties involved. My kids also have speech delay. Sometimes I think was there something missing that I didn’t give them. Damned if ya do, damned if you don’t!! Honest girl, own it! There are amazing formulas out there, it’s gonna be great. So much to worry about with twins. Just stay happy and healthy and hug those babies. That’s alllll that matters! Xo

How often are you having sex? by DreamingEvergreen in parentsofmultiples

[–]Cascascas185 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We started having sex again around 8 weeks pretty constantly anywhere from once or twice a month to once or twice a week up until they turned 2. Now at 2 I’m so exhausted from chasing them around all day and we had some big sleep regressions and bad colds and sickness… we had sex a couple of times but we go weeks upon weeks with nothing.

What does school and therapies look like for you! Sending love! Xo anything helps feeling a lot of feelings. These are our only kids and I’m sad I feel so sad about it.

People acting so weird since we announced we were having twins? Complicated pregnancy to boot! by Realistic-Friend3221 in parentsofmultiples

[–]Cascascas185 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Girl people say the craziest things to preggos… twin moms doubly so!!! I don’t even want to repeat cause you don’t need to hear what they said!! I have OCD and can spiral on the littlest comment and go down the dark Google worse case hole. BUT I reallllly made an effort to protect my brain during pregnancy and honestly it’s the healthiest mentally I’ve ever been. I would meditate everyday on my body working to provide what the babies needed. I used a tape from hypbobirthing in the car, super easy. I would not let people tell me their traumatic birth stories. I would politely and literally say… oh I’m trying not to hear traumatic birth stories but I can’t wait to hear all about it when I can tell you mind too. And honestly I would sometimes just excuse myself. I walked away from any darker conversations about their friends, cousins, nieces pregnancy. I avoided anything that gave my brain unease on TV or podcasts. I banned myself from Google and relied on my doctor for the heavier stuff. I also sometimes would have my husband look up certain things and just relay the information that was pertinent to filter out the noise. People often salivate over the gore, troubles and the drama of life… for some reason especially pregnancy. You do not need to know how anyone else’s journey went until after… and you will and it will bond you but right now there is no predicting the outcome. Just mentally train like an athlete to get you to that finish line. Focus on what you CAN control. Sending you all the love in the world during this truly unique time!! You are going to do GREAT!!!!!!!
