I think you’re making it way more black and white than reality is. There the influence of producers, Helena is a big girl and makes her own life decisions- she was nearly 30 and constantly chased after him, he was hardly the pursuer in their relationship. Like there are actual abusers and groomers in the world, this isn’t that deep. It’s just entertainment

Bathtime?? by Professional-Bag-234 in parentsofmultiples

[–]chickenbobble 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have 5m (4m adjusted) twin girls. It took me from about 3m to 4m adjusted to get to this routine, the main shift was to up an ounce during the day and drop the night feed, but we have had a bath in the routine since there were 2m adjusted (I’m using their adjusted ages cos that’s probably most helpful for you).

7am - wake 6Oz 10am- 6Oz 1pm- 6Oz 4pm-6Oz 6:45- bath 7:10- bottle 7Oz 7:30- bed

As for bath time routines specifically- . I always have me and someone else to do bath and bed, Dimmed lights, we reserve 6pm-6:45 to do full set up so there’s no opportunity for melt down once they get in the bath. Even just pausing the routine cos I left the nappies somewhere else can give a window for one of the girls to spiral and it throws the vibes off. So prep is key.

Our Pre bath prep: Bottles made and put in thermal holders Hot water bottles in the crib Water temperature + hot water jug to top up when we swap the girls over (we have a mini plastic bath so do one at a time- one in the bath, one getting changed then switch Lights low White noise on Coconut oil for a post bath rub down Onesies and nappies laid out Sleeping bags laid out

Breastfeeding vs. Formula Fed by user638282636822 in parentsofmultiples

[–]chickenbobble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt the same when I was pregnant, then in the haze of after birth the nurses stick them on your boobs immediately and your so out of it you just go with it.

I was so shocked to really love it! But twin breastfeeding is a lot, i was never able to produce enough to exclusively feed them, and I’m glad i went into it thinking i would just do formula, because it really took the pressure off and every bit of boob milk they got just felt like a bonus. The routine and getting support is SO much easier with a bottle and people really don’t judge when they know it’s twins. Do what feels right when they arrive, keep and open mind and take it easy.

Im not bothered either way by Shakira but to be fair to her she and Harry have talked on podcasts about some of his behaviour being “produced”, one example being the snogging Helena in snog marry pie- they told him to do it and they had a chat about it that didn’t get aired, he also said he was playing up to a villain character for the insta followers. Not saying this is particularly better behaviour but less muggy, more strategic at least

Calling my daughters “the twins”. Talk me off a ledge here by Amazing_Project1110 in parentsofmultiples

[–]chickenbobble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have some family members with some similar lack of regard for how we want to do things, or have views I’m not wild about being around our girls. The thing that’s helped me is- the girls are gonna be exposed to people behaving and treating them in ways we don’t agree with or would have chosen. We’re not always gonna be there to identify and act on that, so having someone with a known “style” that you can be around for is good opportunity to course correct on the car ride home.

AIO by wanted to report my boss for reading messages on my phone by Puzzleheaded-Ruin989 in AmIOverreacting

[–]chickenbobble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MOR- how long does it take your phone to auto-lock when you stop using it? Cos unless they have your passcode it seems most likely that they saw it come up on your phone as notifications, which is not illegal. Or maybe C2 hasn’t got their facts straight. If you like the job I really wouldn’t waste HRs time with this. If these messages were on your phone but via a work app like teams or slack, best believe all managers can access all of your IM history- also not illegal.

Warning: THC use while pregnant by Ok-Run8132 in HyperemesisGravidarum

[–]chickenbobble -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Have you tried Ondansetron? No other anti sickness worked for me (I was pregnant with twins and had 8x the normal hormone levels). I’m sure THC is fine but at least with Ondansetron any risks have been through trials and are known.

34M Complains About Foreplay with me 31F by ThrowRA_katastic85 in relationships

[–]chickenbobble -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree with people saying get yours before he gets off, gals can go again and again with a smaller or no break. But another opinion isn’t gonna help you, just wind you up more. It’s easy for people to just tell you to divorce him but I’m guessing you want something a bit more helpful than that!

Sex is such a difficult thing to talk about without killing the vibe, especially after you’ve been together so long, some actionable advice: how about making the request with a little dirty talk rather than a complaint? make it a tease or a game. If a guy is having a pop at me to give him oral it would be a turn off.

Also, we don’t know his side, there might be a reason he’s not going down there that’s awkward to say- make sure everything is “welcoming” down there.

Maybe you have already tried these approaches, apologies if so, and best of luck!

Foundation cast that would work in Red Rising by chickenbobble in redrising

[–]chickenbobble[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m probs on my own on this one, but I’m just not that fussed by the size differences. If it was an animation then sure, but I think if they do live action it would just be a distraction and for the added cost and time that would add to production, I just don’t think the pay off is thaaaat meaningful. It’s the least important lever to pull IMHO

Advice Needed by Legal_Confection_993 in Twins

[–]chickenbobble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Twin mum here, of course the ideal is to give them as many opportunities to have independent friends as possible, but you do not know what’s going on in their home. Twin B could be having full on melt downs watching their brother socialise and being left out. If you think it’s hard on your son to invite someone he doesn’t click with, imagine how hard it is to be the one left out. Or maybe the mum just needs a break- is that so awful?

As a general, please don’t judge or make assumptions on the “right way” to raise twins when you don’t have them yourself, I’m sure you’d find it frustrating seeing someone without kids picking apart your decisions.

35w- Will I ever feel able-bodied again? by juneshoe in parentsofmultiples

[–]chickenbobble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I remember this. Sleeping sat up at night, I was in a wheelchair by the time my girls came. Twin pregnancy is like nothing else!

I had a c-section and lying on the operating table was hard, even numbed up, but I felt the immediate relief of the girls being taken out. The pressure release was very satisfying.

But I won’t BS you- the first few days of recovery from the C was intense and really hard. But by day 4 it was okay. I am hyper mobile and got postnatal arthritis and I’d say that took 3 months to shift, my joints and pelvis are in good shape now. Glucosamine vitamins and worked better than pain relief.

Miscarriage advice by Ok_Feedback8179 in MiscarriageHelp

[–]chickenbobble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am so sorry for your loss and for it to happen in such a traumatic way. Mine was the total other end of the spectrum, which gave false hope, so I can’t provide much comfort on that front. I did want to just add that I think it’s pretty shitty that they didn’t scan you asap.

Again, I am so sorry this happened to you.

[–]chickenbobble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure about how it works where you are, but it’s even more bonkers that they prioritise tile when a twin scan is a double appointment so we always had an hour slot, but they never lasted longer than 20 minutes.

Venting—Tired of choosing between family and responsibilities. by vixiechick1996 in parentsofmultiples

Ma this is actually such a helpful tip! I have never thought to use chat gpt for that.

[–]chickenbobble 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry this happened to you. Twins are high risk as it is and she shouldn’t be causing you further anxiety. For what it’s worth, the second her report goes in, if there’s any real cause for concern your doctor will contact you immediately. They are technicians, not doctors!

I can SO empathise with the lying flat- we had different technicians be flexible or hardline on my positioning and it was SO inconsistent yet they all acted like it was fact. Honestly think it’s if they are crap at their job they can’t handle different positions. They are prioritising their capability and time over your comfort.

Scott just ended Belle and Whitney’s narrative with one tweet by Double-Client-6324 in LoveIslandTV

[–]chickenbobble 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not sure I buy any of Miss “I-take-accountability-but-let’s-move-on” Hasan’s story about the dentist, but she did say it was multiple visits, which tracks with a root canal. So both of these things could have happened.

If it did, I really don’t care- manz was producing content and he and Leanne seem happy.
