Baby’s after baby’s……

Why are people upset about me having my kids back to back. Financially stable. Mentally I’m hanging on but I’m 24 with 3 kids under the age of 5 so let’s be realllll and it’s my life why can’t they be positive? Or not just nothing but not mad or negative and I dislike when people make “jokes” “are you trying to get a baseball team going”

what is the age gap between your kids?

@PeachyQueen I have a 4yr 2yr 9months and found out I’m pregnant

Good for you, misery loves company they probably expect you to be miserable and you’re not.

Are you married? I'll have two under two soon and it wasn't necessarily in the plans lol, but Noone gives us a hard time.. Mainly because we are married.

@Ariyana amen to that!

@Kira I am married and noone?

Honestly, no... Lol. I feel like I gave myself a harder time than anyone else. Of course, we get the “your hands are going to be full” comment, but no duh. Its mostly strangers 🙃

im also 24 and have a 1 year old an my second is due in October, some do say it’ll be difficult because they think ill struggle when being so young but i preferred my kids be closer in age so they’re close growing up. the haters will hate whilst you continue living your best life✨

are you American? 😭

@Caitlyn if your asking I’m assuming you know I am

You’re doing amazing! Raising 3 kids under 5 is no joke, and being financially stable at 24 is impressive. People always have something to say, just keep doing what’s best for you and your babies 🩷

lol no I genuinely was asking bc that’s prob why people be judging 🤣😭 in the current political/socioeconomic/environmental/etc. climate, less and less people are choosing to have multiple children, if any at all!

Because negativity. I have an 18mo and I’m due any day. We’re not married, been best friends for 15 years, no rush in marriage neither of us see the point to it. So that’s a big reason people hate on us. I’m happy tho I love my little family

I get it both ways. I'm about to have 3 boys under 2.5, my son will be two this Saturday and am having twins next month, almost exactly a month after his birthday. I either get "oh you're going to have your hands full" or "are you going to try for a girl?"

Girl, stick a middle finger up to them and do you! If you want another baby then go ahead it’s your body so your choice . People be haters but lowkey envy.

Because nobody can ever worry about themselves I think whenever you want to have your kids have them I’ve also noticed that most of the people who talk about”bigger age gaps” often have kids with age gaps themselves

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with ut enjoy it!! But pregnancy is hard some people may be just slightly worried incase you’re not letting your body heal or if it’s truly your idea! Don’t take it negatively just take it as concern to which can happen as forced situations and non healing does happen irl!! But that’s not to say that’s your situation but sometimes it makes people uncomfortable to ask straight up

I say good for you! Who cares what others think! You’re growing your family and you’re happy! If others can’t support that, then they shouldn’t be a part of your life.

@Caitlyn oh okay my bad for assuming

@Cheyann you’re doing great mama!!!! Congratulations on all your babies 🤍 true blessings

@Evie I love this and I thank you for the comment! Different perspective for sure

A lot of people won’t approach serious sensitive topics head on as it can come across as offensive and awkward like “is your partner forcing you to have all these kids?” When really he could be extremely loving // joint idea // completely consentual. HOWEVER situations like that do happen and you never truly know what someone’s relationship is like from the outside so they may say things that may seem like a “joke” to then allow you a gap to express yourself if there was a problem but they don’t want to get it wrong and ask head on because then they just seem like an arsehole more so than making an offensive joke
