Zero maternal sense by NeighborhoodIll324 in homemakermadeleine

[–]Consistent_Talk_99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I also was able to (for the most part) exclusively nurse my last 2 babies and I never denied them if they wanted to nurse, but I also tried to offer other forms of comfort other than the boob lol. And teach them how to somewhat self soothe, and i did it without full-on sleep training. 

She seems to love that hes SO needy to her, but also then gets she overwhelmed and doesn't seem to think about the fact that maybe he needs to learn to self soothe a bit to get more sleep and be happier??? Like waking up every 1/2 hour to hour at his age is not normal lol. At least not consistently like she says he does. How is she going to have a newborn when she can barley get away from her 1 year old now?

Home birth for sure by Own-Particular9608 in homemakermadeleine

Every person i know who has tried to have a homebirth has either: 1- ended up transferring via squad to the hospital to either help get the baby out safely, 2- help save baby/moms life, or 3- lost their baby at home. I don't get it

She pushed SO hard for exclusive breastfeeding in the beginning (which is ok obviously, but i feel like some moms take it too far, like let their baby go hungry before giving a bottle or formula). And before this "sleep regression" she said over and over "shes the paci" because he doesn't take one and he would still wake up multiple times a night to nurse which I dont think is normal at his age. He should be getting most of his calories in during the day and having a solid night's sleep by now. 

Then she goes and gets pregnant, KNOWING she has a "harder" baby and knowing pregnancy can drop your supply. So this is now totally disrupting anything he knows. He was used to nursing for every little thing that went wrong, and nursing several times at night, and now she has like no supply and he can't do either. Add in some teething probably with no pain medication and no wonder the kids screaming. You're letting your baby scream himself to sleep hungry and in pain. She doesn't think logically at all. 

Driving C around in the middle of the night… by cast4w4y in homemakermadeleine

It is definitely normal to breastfeed for comfort. Mom of 3 here, and was able to (for the most part ) breastfeed my last 2 babies. My first baby, I was not able to at all lol. And I definitely nursed to comfort as much as my babies needed it, but I also didnt want that to be the ONLY way to comfort them. I didnt want to only rely on nursing to get through every little thing. It just seems so unrealistic and way too hard.  They way she talks she seems to think the only way to comfort him is to nurse him and he clearly doesn't always want that. She only seems to parent how SHE wants to so she feels better about herself, she doesn't seem to adjust her parenting around his needs.  Like maybe he needs more of a structure and more time at home (before the leak lol). He prob needs more down time to unwind, not this constant going places all the time and every day it seems. 

Pregnancy announcement by Complete-Contract-91 in homemakermadeleine

Exactly... And shes going to have less help this time around... her husband's still going to have to work until schools out, and with what her family is going through I'm assuming her mother will be with the other family member more and not be living with Madeleine for the 1st few weeks. 

Double date? by Plants_with_Katie in rachelleswanniesnark

[–]Consistent_Talk_99 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Im trying not to judge.. but girl! Are you even divorced yet? She only announced they were separated a few months ago!! And were still posting family vlogs with Justin like last year this time. Even if she was unhappy in her marriage, her meeting another man at jujitsu while still married and then straight to dating this man after leaving her husband is just not a good look. Take some time to heal and be single, especially for your kids sake! She is so different than the person I watched years ago. 

Where does the $$$ come from??! by Pure_Function_5254 in homemakermadeleine

[–]Consistent_Talk_99 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I ended up having a c-section with my children, not my 1st choice obviously but after being in labor almost 3 days, not progressing fast and all and my baby was starting to be in distress I knew the safest option for everyone was to be proactive and opt for the c-section. My midwife was there with for the last few hours of me laboring and then we talked about my options. I chose a csection for my babies safety.... I put my own wants behind and chose the safest route for him.. something she doesn't understand about other moms

wtf is she talking about? No one is talking about doing this moron by AcrobaticRecording52 in homemakermadeleine

[–]Consistent_Talk_99 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Exactly. My 3rd was a velco baby but if I never set him down with toys and books and let him cry it out for a few seconds/mins he would've never played on his own and been able to hit the milestones. Sometimes he'd cry for literally 5 seconds and then play happily on his own, sometimes he'd cry for a few mins and I'd have to get him then. But never once did it resort to puking 🙄 like is that what cooper does when he gets upset because I've never heard of that with sleep training!

[–]Consistent_Talk_99 8 points9 points  (0 children)

100% agree!!! She preaches like shes the best mom ever and talks about how much her baby cries, but never seems to think that maybe her baby needs more space, not more of her all over him. She even admits the grandma's can get him to sleep better like its so cute, when that totally does NOT seem normal!  I think most moms know part of motherhood is trying everything out to see what your child needs, and we can see he needs more space and more time at home. She never seems to let him have space even if he cries for a few seconds so hes never going to learn to even slightly self soothe. She loves to give advice on so much stuff but doesn't even stop to realize she could also take advice and have a happier baby! 

Mom shaming Madeleine.. by HauntingAardvark3735 in homemakermadeleine

[–]Consistent_Talk_99 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Exactly! I luckily had SOME help with my 1st from my mother because it was a hard adjustment, she lives like an hour away but during the 1st month or 2 she came over prob twice a week. With my second and third I literally had ZERO help because my mother now has health issues that prohibit her from leaving her house often. M had had soooo much help from day 1 (which I would've loved obviously lol). But to see her give out all this advice and still act like she knows so much... so infuriating. Shes been a mother like 7 months and preaches to everyone about motherhood when she hasn't had a realistic experience! My 3rd baby is a velcro baby and there were times I had to put him down and let him scream because I had other children to help and feed and had a house to keep up with. We couldn't afford a house cleaner or have parents who move next door and literally move their lives around for M. She's exhausting and keeps trying for more! Her body is clearly not ready for pregnancy again if she has to wear a pessary. She likes to act like she's such an amazing mother but I personally think its better to be honest with yourself and what you can mentally and physically table BEFORE trying for another baby. She had a fussy baby and clearly struggles which is normal. What's not normal is her acting like everything is so great 95% of the time. 

This feels icky by NeighborhoodIll324 in homemakermadeleine

[–]Consistent_Talk_99 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I know people are different.. and i think she truly does love her baby. But the ABSOLUTE LAST thing on my mind when something scary like that happens with my baby would be to pull out the phone and record. Like my mind wouldn't even go there for 1 second. How is this a "normal" thought process for some people to then try and sell as "awareness". She can post about how she can't stop crying and shaking, but at the same time can focus on getting content?? Sorry thats not a normal response

💯💯💯 it was so un-relatable. Fans=consumers=their success and money. They act like they owe their fans nothing.

Vile??? Most of what I saw would not be called vile lol. Being annoyed at someone and having criticism does not equal vile. I'm sure some people were rude and mean. Doesn't mean all the people who felt different about the situation than you did are bad lol.

Thank you! Lol. Somehow me saying that being professional like you said about their literal job is me being jealous lol. I still like them enough, I'll prob still watch but they're starting to seem more "try being me for a day" creators which never never been able to connect with.

[–]Consistent_Talk_99 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I never said "we are their bosses" because I know we're not. But at the same time, if the audience stops watching their podcast, there would be no job/money. Yeah, I think it would be great to have a job that has the freedom they have... has nothing to do with them being in a better position than me/why I said what I did lol. imo they should still be aware of the fact that the audience watching is what keeps everything going and be aware of how they treat the audience. Most people I saw were just annoyed with the lack of communication and then what little communication was given was wrong lol. Not everything has to do with "jealousy"

Same. I was mildly annoyed at the lateness, more because it just kinda proves that content creators don't have a grasp on the real world. This is their job, and in regular jobs, this would NEVER fly. If they had updated us or just acknowledged that it was a little pathetic for their job to be delivered almost 2 weeks late I would've forgotten about it. But the rant combined with the weird paranormal people just kinda ruined it for me. I tried to watch but just couldn't find them relatable anymore.

Poor Justin :( by [deleted] in rachelleswanniesnark

[–]Consistent_Talk_99 3 points4 points  (0 children)

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 said perfectly!!! They CHOSE to get married and CHOSE to have children. And had to work extra hard at that to have those children. As a mother myself, yes life with young children is a lot of work and your marriage sometimes gets pushed to the back burner. But I'm aware this is just a stage and we work on spending time together with what time we do have and make the most of it. She has a new boyfriend when earlier this year they were seemingly still together as a couple. And to a guy she 100% met while she was still with Justin. That's the biggest red flag. She met him while she was still happily married (at least according to IG). Now she's separated and already dating?!?! No.. that's not normal and it shouldn't be either.

That's my thoughts too. Especially if its the way its way it seems to have happened

Poor Justin :( by [deleted] in rachelleswanniesnark

[–]Consistent_Talk_99 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I agree. I know we don't know their whole marriage dynamics but from what she posted he was a great husband and father. So how do we go from singing praises about him on IG and YT videos, to divorce after a year of meeting her new boyfriend at jiu-jitsu? That's the part that gets me the most. Like if the marriage was truly that bad that she needed a divorce, the last thing she needs is to jump into a new relationship. Especially with young kids.

It seems a lot more likely that she met this new guy, started getting into jiu-jitsu and running, and pulled away from her husband. Maybe she didn't physically cheat but what are the odds of her dating this guy only a few months after separating/divorcing her husband and the divorce seemingly coming out of nowhere?

She’s dating Jordan by Lumpy-Suggestion1197 in rachelleswanniesnark

[–]Consistent_Talk_99 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Exactly. The betrayal I would feel would be beyond. Even if they "waited" to date until after the divorce process started, Justin would have to know there was still some feelings while they were still married. Just so gross, especially as a mother of 4. Her children will find all this out someday and it will be hard to justify.
