ThisGatheredNest | Part 2

I’m glad she’s honest about it to the extent she feels comfortable sharing.

The last day they were in San Francisco she seemed distant in video. She also seemed tired in the last videos. I assumed I was looking too much into things but after her stories I’m guessing not.

I’ve got 6 kids & homeschool. It’s exhausting. I’m not trying to filter my life as my business either.

That said I get the impression whatever the issue is it’s not just the # of kids or exhaustion.

Maybe it’s why Gran Nonna came to visit?

What happened in the stories?

[FlowersTar 68]

^^I think she posted something about Benji being unwell and also Amelia was having a pre op on something she hasn't shared about previously.

[Pina]

She also mentioned on her IG?/YT? (a little while back) that they were having trouble with their neighbours. I can't remember why but I got the impression it was something to do with the boys.

[gibberish]

Amelia has a hernia. They talked about it waaay back, she was due to have it fixed when she was older (I think around 2 yrs old).

Yeah I got the impression her kids and some other kiddos argued as she said she wasn't falling out over kids (good for her) I also got the impression the sw visit didnt go how she wanted but idk if i was reading things. It was the same video about the neighbours thing and she mentioned they were a little tired from social worker visit and neighbour drama ans she seemed a bit moody when she left, but could just be tired.

I hope the babies are okay though, it sounds serious.

Ah yes, I've just watched today's video and she mentioned Amelias hernia, I'd forgotten she'd mentioned that ages ago.

I bet that medication she was on to try and induce lactation was the starting point for the downward spiral. She mentioned she stopped it without tapering down and it could cause anxiety and depression.
So withdrawal plus new baby with unknown complications.
Sounds like it was disaster waiting to happen from the start. Hopefully she gets the help needed.

Anyone have more info on the invasion of privacy thing she's talking about in today's video? I'm curious. Also I'm not familiar with the neighbor issue but if she's letting her dogs and kids roam the neighborhood unsupervised I'm not surprised there's drama.

Could it have been when people were looking on her mother's facebook page and found Benjamin's name?

That’s what I took from the video that she was butthurt that his name got out before her dramatic delayed announcement

Probably but that comes with the territory of being on YT. She isn’t the first and she won’t be the last that will have an address or Facebook page or records or something found. Their address is public knowledge. Anyone could just drive up to their house at any time. Putting your kids on the internet for the masses and revealing your location and last name is dangerous. People finding out Ben’s name off her mom’s Facebook page is nothing compared to privacy invasions others have experienced from being on YT or a celeb. Also, they shared too many details. I knew their exact location right after they shared about Benji. CR posted photos of a lighthouse and they said how many hours away it was. I’ve been there plenty and knew where they were instantly. While I didn’t do anything with that info, plenty of other people could have. I even saw a comment on I think it was CR’s insta about someone saying they saw him at Starbucks where they stayed after Benji. People could have easily found them, followed them, etc. (and maybe they did or something along those lines and that’s what she means). I for one don’t think finding a public FB page is an invasion. I think it was crappy for people to share it on her social media but that’s life as a YouTuber. They could have revealed his name and sex right away but they wanted to monetize on it by pumping up the suspense for videos. While they don't deserve bad things to happen to them and I hope she gets some therapy, I hope she realizes she needs to change some things. She’s been stretched beyond her limit since she got pregnant with the twins and she’s just been piling things on herself (and consequently CR) ever since.

I hate to be that guy, but homegirl needs to take a LONG look in the mirror if people finding out her baby's name from her mother's Facebook page threw her into a deep depression. Like seriously?! She needs to reevaluate her social media presence. You can't plaster your life on social media and then bitch about people finding things out *on social media.* She has literally told her entire audience her mother's first and last name in multiple videos. I certainly don't hope something worse happened, but if that's what she was talking about, I'm rolling my eyes into the back of my damn head.

Idk. It may not have been that at all. But I feel like its her mom that invaded her privacy in the first place. Most parents set boundaries before the baby comes about what can be posted online. Its normal to want to share the news yourself. (Although waiting until days later is ridiculous!) But I would be so mad at my mom if she pulled that crap!

[Beccaboom22]

Idk she felt unsafe for her kids so maybe someone approached her or sent something scary in the mail. I doubt it was the name thing

Does anybody else thinks she reads this forum the whole heirarchy of love thing seemed like a dig at this thread. I do think she was a lot more relatable in this video, depression and anxiety suck so i hope she pulks through and the drs can do something for Benji, poor little dude.

Yeah they have also been responding to Rosie more when she speaks to them whilst they are vlogging and on two occasions they have shown how they work on her speech (once with CR during meal time and once with Ange during home school).

I think the 'invasion' is more than her mother revealing Benji's name too. The way she talks about keeping her kids safes makes me think they have either recieved threats or someone has approached them in an uncomfortable manner. We may never find out!

If Angie is truly struggling with depression and anxiety, I do sympathize and feel empathy for her.

I think perhaps she is finally realizing she has bitten off WAY more than she can chew in every aspect of her life. There is just no fathomable way you can adequately care for eight children--at least one of whom has special needs and one of whom is a newborn--AND homeschool, AND have a YouTube channel/social media presence, AND be the sole breadwinner for her family. I'm sure she is regretting making CR quit his stable job because now the family's financial security is 100% on her shoulders and CR is now basically a glorified nanny.

I wonder if she has ever considered how her children, especially Kennedy and Shelby, may already resent her for this constant need to have a baby in the house and just keep adding more and more kids, while the others just get lost in the shuffle.

Glorified nanny? Seriously? Would you call a stay at home mom a nanny?
I dont agree with their choices of having so many kids close together but calling CR a glorified nanny is not right.

Fair enough point. It just seems like Angie takes advantage of him.

[Tweedles3]

Finally was able to watch her last video, hopefully everything will be okay with her and the kids. I appreciate the honesty, especially regarding her own mental health. So many moms deal with anxiety and depression in silence. It’s absolutely possible to suffer PPA and PPD as an adoptive parent, it’s a topic I’ve seen very little about.

I am curious what she’s referring to regarding invasion of of privacy. I’ve heard of Youtubers being stalked and “SWAT”ted, so I hope Angie isn’t referring to Benji’s name reveal, which is nothing in comparison.
