My little brother had colic as a baby and my poor mam was driven up the walls! Plus she had his twin sister to deal with and a 3 year old (me). Back then there wasn't much research and knowledge of colic and my mam always says if she could go back with the knowledge around now it would have been 10 times easier.tiphany wrote:I haven't watched a vlog since the birth video.

Before they were just two morons but now there is an innocent baby involved that they are knowingly put at risk. More and more, I question whether these two have the mental capacity to raise children. I had hoped they would change, but every day it just gets worse and worse. I seriously feel so torn over being very concerned for Emilia and knowing there's not very much I can do about it.
Is anyone else feeling this way? I think I just ned to stop paying attention. It is all seriously so upsetting.
I wonder if Emilia is really colicky and they're afraid to admit it? It could explain a lot as in the way they supposedly hold her (again, i've not seen it but I know my son was VERY particular about how he was held from the moment he was born which often time was flat on his belly with his limbs hanging everywhere) and the way that people are saying she cries a lot and isn't always comforted. If Anna is very detached that could be part of it... a screaming baby wears you down QUICK.
I wouldn't wish a colicky baby on my worst enemy. I'm not defending their parenting choices.. I'm just saying that if she IS colicky they probably aren't going to admit it because, again, it'll ruin that "perfect" family facade.
If Emilia does have colic and they are "hiding it" then that's pretty sad. Im sure they would get a wealth of information and coping techniques from all the women who've been through it already. Their obsession with perfection is sickening.
