Gardner Quad Squad: A Miracle Unraveling | Part 7

[amyisnewhere]

There's just so many things this family could do to be so much mor likeable. They could give away free ivfs a couple times a year since that is how they got so many fans to begin with (relating to infertility).

They could take their girls to bounce houses and story times. Let us actually see the world through their eyes. I hate that its all about money and all about Tyson's creepy laugh and Ashley's makeup. This could be a really cute YouTube channel if they wanted it to be. If they were good ppl who cared about their children as their first priority and not money, this would be a really fun channel.

But that's what sets them apart. It's so obvious that money, fame, and attention come before the children and that is going to cause SO MUCH DAMAGE to those children when they get older.

Hi everyone! Glad to see you all here! I hardly ever post but wanted to join the discussion. Remember when the Gardners were being slammed and criticized over not donating to Hurricane Harvey a while back when they returned from Hawaii? People were pointing out on their Facebook page that they ask for donations, had a gift registry and a P.O. Box listed on their Facebook page. Well, I went to check it out today and they changed it to a link on donating to NICU parent support! It is listed under the tab "how you can help." Very interesting!

Here's an older gift registry.

After 8 years of infertility, Pleasant Grove couple expecting quadruplets
Keri Lunt Stevens Daily Herald Oct 10, 2014

-snippet-

Though the couple has been featured on several large media outlets, Ashley, 27, and Tyson, 33, aren’t interested in stardom.

“I don’t care about fame or anything like that,” Ashley said. “My goal is to get infertility awareness out. It’s something that’s not talked about, ever.”

For those seeking to help the Gardner Quad Squad, donations can be made to their PayPal account at [email protected] or the community is welcome to visit the family's Amazon registry.

If you have Instagram, go watch Adambuzz's story. The quints are doing puzzles and playing food and all sorts of imaginative play. All while the parents are quietly interacting with and encouraging them. The girls are talking and playing together so well. How much younger are they than the Gardner girls?

You know, I'm not the pickiest mom in terms of what my kids eat but I damn sure try to make sure fruits and veggies are a part of every meal. And I do buy veggie pouches for their snacks. That is where a pouch comes in handy bc my two aren't interested in cucumbers or carrot sticks or even apple slices. So, at minimum at least I know they are getting SOMETHING. How easy it would be for them to even just do THAT??? Weirdos.

After looking a the Registry I'm kind of confused, why are so few things of 4? Most are of 2. And it's not like they are coordinating sets.

Some more gems from what Fudgey posted?

Through her own research, Ashley learned about and self-diagnosed herself with endometriosis, Bitch. You don't have the proper tools to self diagnose yourself. You're not a trained professional!

After years of searching, Ashley found a doctor who agreed with the diagnosis and sent her to a specialist for surgery. During a laparoscopy, doctors found more scar tissue than expected, and she was diagnosed with stage four endometriosis, she said. So...she had to clearly go through many doctors who didn't agree? And the fact there was, by her own words, more scar tissue than expected, not a single doctor found this, again, within years?! Uhm. I wouldn't trust a single doctor in Utah if this was the case. (I actually really do trust nurses and doctors in Utah as well as every state)

She also started a side business, Headbands for Fertility, and had many people reach out and offer their help. What happened to this business? I'd support it and buy headbands. I'd like to think they were handmade and not Alibaba'd, but still. glass half something here.

Ashley’s dad, Steve Weisenburger, agrees. “I actually like him, and I’m the father-in-law,” Weisenburger said. “Nobody is good enough for your baby daughter, but Tyson is.” This just rubs me the wrong way. Granted my relationship with my in-laws is interesting. I can't stand my mother-in-law, but for the sake of our girls, I swallow my pride. To be fair, she was amazing while my husband was off fighting fires. My step father-in-law? Dotes on my girls and tries to spoil them rotten. If he sends money, I invest it. If he sends toys, we donate an older one and keep the newer one. And yes, I am the baby of my family. But my father never used the term "good enough" so maybe this was off putting. Who knows. I just don't like this.

Ashley wants to make a difference and help others struggling with infertility know that they aren’t alone. Then fucking do it. You have yet to.

They are usually .60-.85 cents at Walmart and they make it so easy for the kids who don't like eating traditional raw veggies aka every kid. Like apple sauce pouches, its veggie pouches. They're awesome.

I noticed in the yt comments a kad asked to send a gift and Ashley said she didn't need to send one. And that she could send one to a charity.

Address is still on YouTube. I'm sure the address disappearing is temporary, probably reappear in a couple of months after the move. The helpers will have to move all their unthankful, piled high gifts in the basement. How will they ever vlog the move with all the unappreciated crap.

My daughter said that Mindy doesn't feed her kids veggies either. I was in the kitchen making kick-ass homemade lasagna when she was watching, and she said that Mindy said that she doesn't feed the kids vegetables because her mom never fed her vegetables, and she turned out just fine. I know they eat corn... I missed the actual statement. Did anyone else catch it?

What is it with vloggers and having crap diets?

I am not finding this tab you are referring to on their FB page, but if you have followed how these 2 operate their vlogs are posted to YT every morning 8:00 am EST & then to their FB page usually later in the afternoon because YT is what brings in the $$ not FB. so they force viewers to watch their vlog on YT first everyday, now if you click on the little black arrow on their YT page it will open up all of their SM site contacts & at the very bottom is lo & behold their direct PO box address so their pathetic KAD's can keep sending all the gifts to this Greedy Bunch

As someone who suffered plenty from endometriosis, you can't diagnose yourself. Not unless you can do a laparoscopy on yourself! Dr Google doesn't cut it. If she really thought she had it, she should have insisted on her doctors listening to her. I had one doctor (not a specialist-- a small town OB GYN) try to tell me he'd "cured" my endometriosis by lasering off visible implants, (so my pain was in my head) and I went straight to the ER at a bigger facility. The docs there laughed at the idea of a "cure" and took care of me.

Yeah, mindy said I think in yesterday's vlog she doesn't eat veggies and her kids don't eat them much either. While she should obviously feed her kids more veggies, she cooks at home a lot of the time and doesn't just order take out for every friggin meal so you have to give her some
Credit.
I second whoever said Ashley should give the girls veggie pouches. My son Loves them and sucks them down. I buy the mighty 4 for tots brand and they are loaded with goodies he wouldn't touch otherwise. I bet the girls would drink them down, they taste like the fruit that's in them although they also have veggies and good carbs like quinoa or oats. It's the best parenting hack in the world and takes zero effort. Instead of giving the girls icees, give them one of those. It's. Not. Hard.

They just posted Esme's individual photos and for God's sake that dress looks absolutely ridiculous on her. I didn't pay close enough attention to Indie's, but I imagine it was pretty much the same. For a mom who is all about appearance...

This has probably been covered before... but on the off chance A$T are correct that the FF are girl geniuses then the need is just as great to get them into preschool. Sooner rather then later.
My oldest was in accelerated classes and would get bored out of her mind if she wasn't challenged intellectually. She would get frustrated and begin acting out. Being a genius doesn't automatically assure a person of success; in fact it is very easy for them to fail if not challenged.

T$A; do the right thing: socialize and educate your girls so they can be the best they can be. I assume that, as a parent, this is your goal?

I ASSUME that she meant to say that she suggested to docs that she had signs of endometriosis? Its so strange she claimed to dx herself.
I have andeoendometriosis and you are right; there is no absolute dx for these two disorders until you go under the knife.

Well, she does have her own two legs in these photos.

[skipperpt]

Ashley is live on FB saying Tyson is taking her out to dinner because she has had a migraine for 5 days because " guys 4 two year olds." When have you been around your "screaming girls" the past 5 days?!?! When you were at the story telling Festival? At the dentist? At the Bingham's? When you were live feeding your make up application? Gosh, the 2 hours you have been with the girls the past week must have been "so hard"!
