Re: Tweedletee10
She is an interesting vlogger and a nice person, but I wish she didn't talk about her private life, oral sex during pregnancy, etc. it's non of our business and makes me feel rather uncomfortable. 
Re: Tweedletee10
I was debating starting a topic on her!!
There's a lot about her I like, but also a lot that I have turned very skeptical about.
For example, she has another account (pearlgirl87) or something, which she had mentioned quite a while back. I went to the channel and she had done vlogs during the summer of 2011...I watched all of the vlogs, and it was only in early 2011 that apparently she broke up with a very serious boyfriend, and she went into a depression.
Alex, her now-husband, was introduced as a friend...and during the time of him being "a friend", there is a vlog where Tina and her friend are at a cafe discussing babies and baby names, and the friend mentions Alex as a baby name, and they joke about Alex fathering the baby.
It's clear that Tina has a crush on Alex. But the other noteworthy thing, is that Tina makes it obvious she wants to be a mom. She just wants a baby.
So the vlogs continue, and over the summer she reaches a crisis and she and Alex go on a road trip to the Maritimes and then back to Toronto. They are very flirty, so I can only assume over this road trip they got together.
And then, as the vlogs continue, there isn't too much mention of them being a couple, but they clearly are. So they probably got together in summer, 2011.
In January, they were "trying to conceive" and lo and behold, Tina got pregnant on the first try using ovulation strips.
On her Facebook, the very first picture posted says 'TINA WANTS A BABY.'
So she gets pregnant first shot, and then she and Alex wind up getting married in early summer. Assuming that they got together in summer, 2011, only a few months after Tina's huge breakup and obsession with wanting a baby, they were together for maybe 6 months before they decided to try to conceive, and then get married a few months later.
So been together a total of 6 months before deciding they were going to be together forever and try to have a baby.
What I find very, very strange is that her obsession with wanting a baby and wanting to be a mom was evident BEFORE she and Alex got together, back when they were "friends" and she was recovering from her huge break up.
Alex, by the way, is only 20, and Tina is 26. He's pretty naive. He's a funny guy and I enjoy watching him, but he acts like a 20 year old guy. Tina is pretty controlling and up on herself, and she obviously wears the pants in their relationship.
Does anyone else get the vibe that Tina convinced herself Alex was the best baby daddy material, she got together with him, convinced him to try to have a baby with her, not expecting it to happen the first month trying, and then they basically had no other choice but to get married?
I just...based on the vlogs I watched before she and Alex were an item, and how much she talked about wanting a baby and her life goal was to be a mommy......and less than 6 months after getting together with Alex they decide to try to have a baby?? It just doesn't add up!
When i first started watching them I assumed they had been together A LONG time. Apparently not!

Re: Tweedletee10
i also find the whole the alex and tina thing really odd given how long or well not long they were together before trying. she would never answer questiosn about their relationship or anything. she kept saying she would make a video about it and never did. she absolutely just wanted a baby and did whatever it took to get one.

Re: Tweedletee10
I really don't think it was appropriate for Tina to share that photo on youtube where Alex's testicle was hanging out (but blurred) of his pj pants. I found it funny, but I would've only shared it between close friends/family. To share something like that on youtube/internet is just weird ... for lack of a better term
I don't dislike them, I'm subscribbed but there are a few things that strike me as odd like some of you are saying. They've moved so fast into this relationship for one. I hope they stay together as I find them such an adorable couple but they weren't together all that long before throwing a baby AND a marriage into the mix.

Re: Tweedletee10
does anyone remember during her ttc vlogs how she kept saying it was her only chance and she just hoped it would work so much because she only had one chance to make it work? what did that mean? i thought that maybe alex was just givign her sperm to use basically and agreed to have sex with her once to see if it would get her pregnant. when she did get pregnant and then alex was in the picture i was so confused why she only had one chance to get pregnant.

Re: Tweedletee10
No one is ever truly prepared to have a baby but you plan accordingly.I started to notice how they were not ready for a baby when she bought a $200 dresser and up till the end of her pregnancy she had like 3 outfits.I think all the baby has was given to her.She moved in with her dad because they have no money to support themselves so why have a baby?Her lack of knowledge on birthing and pregnancy started to irk me.They were just starting to get things together for a home birth when she was having contractions.They bought a kiddie pool for a water birth.I swear I think it had a slide LOL!!Most of the time you buy a kit that has all you need.She would never have been able to give birth naturally.She has no idea.Now that the baby is here she can't even diaper him correctly.How much piss does that poor baby have to sit in till you get him bigger diapers?Now she is bragging about breastfeeding and it'sfunny and obvious again she has no knowledge about it.I did not realize Alex was so young!I feel bad for him.Things happen but to PLAN a pregnancy when you have no money and with a guy who is so immature???
Re: Tweedletee10
I noticed that, as well, Flossy...
I am 39 weeks pregnant and due any day now, really, and by the time I was 6 months along we had 80% of what we needed for the baby, and the rest came within the last couple months...but even by the time I was 3 months I already had a smattering of outfits!!
I'm also a really big advocate on natural birth and avoiding hospital interventions and doing what's best for the newborn (ie: breastfeeding, cloth diapering, etc.) and she seemed really into that in the beginning, but she always claimed she "didn't know" about something or "needed to ask people." Why can't you just google? My boyfriend said that I basically study "baby university" all day because I CAN'T get enough info, about everything! She clearly has internet, just do some research.
I don't know. Something just isn't quite right. I think they are just completely unprepared for this...I mean, Alex is 20 and the most he had for pets was snakes and bearded dragons. Tina, from her Pearlgirl account vlogs, had lovebirds. Aside from that, they were both used to going on spontaneous trips places, and joking more than being serious, making fun of Alex, etc. Tina didn't know what she wanted to do with her life so she decided to have a baby, surely thinking that would fulfill her purpose. Maybe it isn't...
Anyone else irked by the plethora of personal information/emails/texts/etc that she sends out about her family and related issues? I think she never really got over her depression last year, and she needs this reinforcement from "friends" of Youtube/Facebook...
Except I have liked her FB page, and she RARELY comments on people's questions, congrats, etc.
I really liked her in the beginning but now...kind of like a train wreck...

Re: Tweedletee10
i completely agree with you all but for the record you can use a "kid pool" for a home birth and a lot of people even do because the official ones are so expensive. any pool will do. i thought it was very strange that they didnt get any of the supplies till the very end either and suspected it was probably because she was hoping to go early and just have him in the hospital. she was dying to have that baby starting around 35 wks. she just wanted a baby and didnt care how she got it or what it took to care for it because she knew her dad would come through for her
oh and by the way she did not buy the dresser. she said it was a gift. she did buy the 3pack of baby shirts though. lol

Re: Tweedletee10
she used to have videos on her old channel talking about how she was thinking about ttc on her own with an iui or something because she just wanted to be a mom. idk if those videos are still there but i know in the comments of her videos on her new channel someone asked her old channel & she just talked around the question.

I know you can use a kiddie pool.I just meant once again,no research was done.They just kinda buy one with no thought or research.The Midwife didn't approve of it.Train wreck is right.Google!!I agree with you.She just wanted that baby. She kept saying she was full term/the baby is ready to come.

Re: Tweedletee10
I never knew she was TTCing or talking about it prior to meeting Alex. And yes, she had no planning done at all. It's like she thought perhaps she wanted to be a crunchy mom so she figured she had to do the home birth thing but she didn't really even take the time to look into it. The whole story is just completely sad. So how long until Alex heads for the door huh? I mean clearly he is gonna start to see that she only wanted a baby so she could have someone to love her since her upbringing was so fucked up !

Did you guys just see this? I wonder if that ends up backfiring on her and he leave her !!

Okay...so to my canadian friends on here who are currently pregnant (I say canadian because shipping will only take 1-2 days)...can someone send me a fresh positive pregnancy test? I'm going to prank alex
but i think he'll know if I give him an old one... a) because they have dates written on them and b) because they turn purple instead of pink after a while. OR if you live in or around toronto, I can pick one up from you

uhhhhhh why would he do that based on this prank? shes shown his testicle on youtube and he didnt care. he takes some major shit from her. they seem to work in some weird way though the whole thing is so rushed and it aggravates me so much that she sort of lies to her viewers hiding the whole story about them.EmilyRose wrote:Did you guys just see this?

Re: Tweedletee10
What happened in her childhood? Is her mom not around ? I never watched the videos on the old channel.I don't know if I can sit through it lol.And what are the crazy things she has posted on her fb all about?EmilyRose wrote:I never knew she was TTCing or talking about it prior to meeting Alex.

Re: Tweedletee10
Oh, her parents had a hideous divorce when she was four years old, and then there was some big kafuffle about some kind of party she had as a preteen or maybe teenager, and her parents made it all go to shit because they wouldn't celebrate her big day, and then she and her mom have always had issues, but her mom got mad at her when she was 20 weeks pregnant or something, and stopped talking to her, they never resolved it, then the mom wanted to be in the new baby's life and Tina laid down the law and said unless you apologize to me you can't see the baby, and the mom didn't apologize but rather indicated Tina was mental...
I have crappy issues with my mom and have debated cutting her out of my life, but I would not take it so far as to post private e-mails and conversations on Facebook for hundreds, if not thousands, to see.
Basically, Tina is seeking love and affection and acceptance of this world by being a mother. Unfortunately, Alex seems to be the naive, young sperm donor, who got her pregnant and then had an "oh shit" moment (maybe pressured by his family?) to marry her very quickly.
All of the crazy things on Facebook - oh boy, just go and browse through posts. She does not omit ANY detail from her life. If it's bugging her, she will let us know on FB. Or on a Youtube video.
One thing that really bothered me, was about a week before the baby came, she posted a very frustrated post on FB about how the car seat wasn't installed properly and the closest car seat technician was A WHOLE HOUR AWAY and she couldn't find anyone closer.
I did a very quick Google search and found some car seat technicians in her area, and posted it as a response on Facebook. I also noted that hey, having your carseat installed properly was probably worth a 2 hour round trip.
She NEVER posted a response to thank me, she just kept complaining. TINA - I found someone who can do it, why not actually USE the information someone gave you??
And now, her whole "well, we're going to cloth diaper but we'll use a diaper service" bullshit is infuriating to me. Today's cloth diapers (the ones I will be using on our baby are called Glowbugs) are SO similar to disposables, but you put it in the wash and reuse them instead of polluting landfills and wasting money.
Is it really that big of a deal to throw a diaper into the washing machine, especially if you are living at your dad's place and I am ASSUMING he has a washer and dryer of his own? If you're in an apartment I can understand where the issue is, but why bother hiring a diaper service when all you literally do, (especially as breast milk poop is water soluble), is put it in the washing machine, and then *GASP* put it in the dryer.
I'm really surprised she's not formula feeding by now.
But her rock hard, milk engorged boobs are probably making her self esteem better, so who knows. Or maybe Alex likes them now that they aren't little pin cushions.

Re: Tweedletee10
i'm giving you an applause over here knockout. that was brilliant. she would rather spend time complaining and creating drama about things than shutting up and doing something about it.
