Just a note for anyone who feels they might want to try Better Help - please do your research. There are lots of testimonies of people having negative experiences with them and even them potentially getting into legal trouble by not properly vetting their therapists, who may not be properly qualified. If you have used Better Help and it’s worked for you that’s great, I just think that everyone should be aware of the allegations so they can make an informed choice. There are alternatives out there for online / more affordable therapy that aren’t BH.
Thank you for the informative comment!! I started signing up for BH but I doubt my insurance will cover more than like 4 months max. 280 a month is just not possible with my health insurance. Please any recommendations that are not BH?
Yess Better Help has been knows for YEARS to be bad! I still clicked the link just in case it helps Rose & Rosie, but I wouldn't recommend anyone to give money to Better Help
Pros to using baby reins: adds safety, allows the child to feel free, less heavy to hold than a child; Con: some nobody you've never heard of gets passive aggressive over it on Instagram because they think they know better (every child is the same, after all) Tough choice lol I'm sorry that nonsense tainted those beautiful pictures for you
You don’t ever have to explain yourselves as parents - You are both amazing, loving, people. I also think having the security of being attached to a toddler, especially one who’s a runner, is ALWAYS a better alternative to what could happen without it. Love to y’all! Glad you had a great trip to Barthelona 😘
My mom's sister died for being a runner, she ran into a road and a truck just went to the road... she was 5yo. Don't doubt yourself when its a security matter. You can prevent a huge trauma for all the family.
People get SO upset by toddler reins, but actually they give little ones more freedom by letting them walk on their own---even running around and exploring---while still staying safe and connected to you. Anyone bothering to glance at Ziggy would see that he's enjoying himself! Some people really are just looking for a way to feel self-righteous, but I hope you don't let it get to you too much. You're both wonderful mums, and Ziggy is so lucky to have you. ♥
It's terrible what happened to you two. Having toddler reins was big when I was a toddler in the 60s, then when the James Bulger incident happened reins became big again. You two are trend setters and are keeping your SON SAFE. I am thankful for my parents for keeping me safe at a time in my life I couldn't, Ziggy will be forever grateful that you kept him safe.
When I saw your photos in Barcelona my heart was full, after 26 years living in an anti lgbtq+ country I came here, and I was watching your videos all the time and I always looked up to you. So thank you for being you and sharing your precious moments with us. You deserve the world. Thank you!
Was a leash baby myself, my nickname as a toddler was pocket rocket cuz I would literally shoot off at a moments notice without notice. Can say wholeheartedly I hold no resentment against my parents for taking this safety measure especially when we were living in the city. Like you said people like to have a go over nothing in order to just feel something. Always far more satisfying not giving them the satisfaction I say.
Ha leash baby is cute! My sister was on toddler reigns for ages, it turns out she is autitsic & has adhd, so she often got distracted & would run off towards something that captured her interest, my parents could tell it wasnt malicious & it kept her safe. My sister still sometimes gets distracted as an adult but now she has the maturity & tools to stop immediately walkinh across the road to see the puppy!
Hi I don't normally comment but I'm a 63 yr old Nan to 9 grandchildren. And our son's and daughter all used reins with their kids. So Bravo you 👏👏👏👏 Don't listen to it all. Social media is just horrible some times. You are doing a fantastic job with Ziggy 🥰🥰
I’m so thankful for those toddler reins as you called them. When I was little, my dad had one on my wrist that was attached to him while we were splashing in the ocean. A wave knocked my dad down, and I got dragged out in the undertow. If my dad didn’t have me attached to him, I could’ve drowned, but he was able to pull me back in using that. Don’t let anyone get you down. Screw them!
Ok, ok I have never stopped a video in mid stream to make a comment..but never say never. I am over 60 years old and when I was a toddler my family went to the Worlds Fair in Florida, USA. I was a runner also. There were no such things as toddler harnesses. My Mom clipped an actual dog leash to my shirt collar to keep me from running off or getting snatched. It was brilliant. I have been told she received positive comments from other parents. Ok back to the video 💖
Ha creative solution from your mum! It is a problem most parents deal with, no toddlers completely follow orders, ironically they are not like a trained pet!
People are bored and have no lives so they attack yours. Your son is safe and happy and you and Rosie make your decisions. Make your choices and try to enjoy what you’re doing xxx
Honesty cognitive behavioural therapy was the best thing I ever did. I have severe generalised anxiety, OCD, PTSD, panic attacks and insomnia. I cant take medication because I cant make it more than 5 days without being hospitalised due to dehydration from sensitivities to the active ingredients. I had behavioural therapy the first time when I first got diagnosed and then again about 12 months later when I had a few big traumatic things happen. I'd say the first time I was given the tools and understood them but it didnt fully click. The second time it just clicked right away and suddenly everything made sense. Even now 12 years later I struggle with my mental health, but I always have those tools there that help massively. I also notice it really helps me deal with other people as well.
I used to have reins when I was a toddler and I hated them but that's because it was usually used as a punishment when I was already upset about something (probably something ridiculous like my mum was being a good parent and wouldn't let me go run out in the traffic). You know what, I can't link any mental health issues back to wearing reins as a child. Pahaha how silly and judgemental people can be...
I would never ever comment something about someones parenting, but i did think those reins were a bit silly/ restricting until this discussion. I can totally see now why parents use them, and that its actually so much more freedom than a pram or being carried
Oh.. Rose and Rosie. I'm a silent viewer for the most time, because I don't write comments because English is not my first language and I'm mostly lazy... but I love you so much. I'm a follower since 2014, when I was 15 and now I'm 24. I dont't why I say that but anyways, you have helped me this whole way for just posting a video, through a lot of my days and important years of my life. I love seeing your relationship through the years and your daily life or just talking. When I see you, I relax. It's a happy moment of my day. I'm sorry for the jerks out there...,I'm really sorry. You guys both shine so brightly and with Ziggy as well is so beautiful, he's a cutie as well. I don't know... I wish those people don't get you down, honestly. You guys are wonderful moms and you're doing your best. Those people don't know how to handle their own life and try to "handle" other's people lives... I love you Rose and Rosie, from a small place of Argentina called "Tucumán". ❤
So sorry that there are people like that in this world, you are both great parents who will protect their child the best way you can. Much love to you all and you are what many families wish to be but they can't.
What you guys did was just good parenting and completely understandable especially when traveling in a foreign country and how horrible things like kidnapping happen quickly. those people are just negative. love you guys ❤
I literally NEEDED reigns as a kid I nearly died/got abducted several times, I have adhd and wasn't a naughty kid but definitely had a running off problem, it's just responsible parenting to use toddler reigns at the end of the day YOU KNOW YOUR CHILD, it's bizzare to me that other people feel like they can judge your parenting when they don't even know you lmao
My Mum used baby reins a lot with my little brother because he just had this need to run away constantly and would run into roads or out of shops. Some people will try and claim it is poor parenting but as the older child both my parents taught all the right things about crossing roads, holding hands, et , sometimes people just need extra assistance!
My grandma taught me most of what I would ever need in life with a few simple statements she always made. 1. She would say Jennifer if you don't love someone, and they mean nothing to you why let them influence how you feel on the inside. 2. All I ask is you do what makes you happy in life and do the best you possibly can. 3. We cannot possibly judge a person whose life we have not lived. 4. Lastly, she would always say I love you, then she would say you want to know why, I'd say why, and she would say just because I do. Point is you are always doing all you can, with all you know, in any single moment to be the best moms you can be and that shows in every video. On a less serious note, you both are Gemini's, so it is best he stays connected in case you go floating off with all that air lol💚
Pretty sure you both are incredible parents and I definitely use toddler reigns. My kid is fast, like so fast...one time I sneezed and she literally got away from me. Like in the 2 seconds I sneezed she was like 50 yards away. So yes I use things that make myself and my child safe. So sorry you have to deal with rude comments and really sorry about the weird man in Spain. I'm so glad you all are ok, people are just weird and dangerous especially these days. Stay safe!!! Giant hugs and support❤!!!
I've seen the drama on instagram. I can completely understand the comments affected you ! Personnally i was surprised because i'd never seen that (I live in France and I've never seen anyone use this, but maybe it exists too), so I think maybe people didn't mean anything mean, and probably made "jokes" because they didn't understand, most of them probably didn't think you valued him as a dog. But either way, I can understand why it affected you so much ! You're both amazing 💛
You do you Rose. How you and Rosie parent and care for your child is no one else’s business. Be kind to yourself when others try to demean you. See yourself as so many of us see you…worthy and loved. You and Rosie bring so much joy to so many of us and we are blessed to be allowed to share in your life! Thank you for always be you!
I am so sad that the RUclips stop notifies me when you put on a video, but some days I came to your channels to see you and hear from you. I love you guys, it’s a little incredible how much love I have for you both, you mean a lot to me, I’m glad you’re back safe🫀
What happened to you guys is awfully and I'm glad Ziggy is safe. Personally I would do it too if I were in an unknown country with my toddler if I had one.
Ditto. Me great grandmother used a harness on me and it saved me. Whilst in America, someone tried to snatch me at a two-guys. She was able to yank me back and lather the pervert with her cane. She actually made him bleed. The cops were called but they showed up 2 hrs after he had run off. The Roses live in the real world, they know they need to keep the Ziggy safe.
@@IPONJ omg ya I'm glad you weren't snatched away!! Thank god for the harness your granny knew what she was doing fr!! I'm Indian and honestly I was lucky I grew up in a metropolitan city so it's pretty safe here but there are some places particularly small towns in some states where you have to be careful because every state in India is like a country of its own they have their own language and the customs change from state to state so you gotta look out for your kids p.e.r.i.o.d.
@@IPONJ eh not really I mean if you're careful nothings going to happen and I suppose there are some sketchy places in every country for instance I've never been robbed in India but I was in Belize because they knew you I wasn't from. I suppose you become an easy target anywhere you standout
The two of you are amazing parents. If it wasn’t for baby reins, my niece would have been hit by cars numerous times. They are just so wiggly and quick. Keep being you and your frogs will take care of the haters ❤️❤️❤️
You are both incredible Mummies!! Your baby's frog safety comes first!! Being in a foreign country with a language barrier can be quite tricky, and with a toddler it's even more bc you always have to be extra hypervigilant! Really so confused as to why Ziggy having a baby backpack is anyone else's concern!? Keep doing YOU lovelies! It's sad there's people out there who think it's okay to comment when it has NOTHING to do with them! On the bright side of things, I'm SO happy you were able to go on a trip as a family for the first time since 2019! Sending you so much love and hugs to you! You two are truly so genuine and kind. You deserve nothing but all the joy and happiness!
Can I just say wearing baby reigns was arguably the most fun experience of my toddlerhood😂being able to just drop to the floor or dangle whenever I felt like it because I knew I’d be caught felt so freeing! Miss it tbh😔😂🐸🩷
i was walking at like 8 months and HATED being in a pushchair (ive got adhd so it makes sense). I probably wouldve killed myself by running into traffic or something if my mum didnt use a leash
Rose: My mental health has been dire. Rosie: I’m gonna go do the eggs ：） Hope you get better Rose, don’t listen to the silly Instagram people. 12:25 Ziggy is so much like Rose, he’s saying pooh pooh!
I was a very active toddler that had to be leashed. I turned out fine ☺️ and also never ran into traffic/got kidnapped. Fuck the judgy obnoxious people, do what’s best for your child. The only opinion that matters is yours when it comes to your kid’s safety and well-being
Hi there. I paid to see a Psychiatrist recently and he diagnosed me with Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Social Anxiety Disorder along with recuring Depressive Illness. Mine is so life dominating that i've never been able to work which I find a huge embarrassment. Rose I think that you are remarkable to be able to lead the life you do with the weight you carry in your mind. Be proud of yourself x
Woah that's weird... Your comment just caught my eye, cos I've just recently been diagnosed with social anxiety and GAD too, along with a couple other similar things...! It's a small world really isn't it!
I was a toddler leash baby, I’d wanna be friends with everyone and play hide and seek ALL THE TIME. If I wasn’t on a lead I don’t think my parents would have ever seen me again
When I lived in Upper Herdferd in the late seventy and early eighties was the first time I saw a toddler leash I was taken aback being form the US. But after I had my daughter a few years later I really wished I had one. The shear security of have control of your child in a store or a park is amazing.
Reins give far more freedom than holding hands or being stuck in a pushchair. I have absolutely no idea how reins on a toddler could be seen in a negative light by anyone, and if the critics are parents, I pity their children.
Evening ladies. As a parent myself to 3, now much older kids, who of two, that now have kids of their own. We all have our own way of parenting. The mothers of all of my kids did what they thought was best& they were correct in every way. There is no damm handbook on how to do it. The criticism you got on Instagram, was bang out of order. Ladies, you do what you feel is best for YOU with regard to Ziggy's safety, especially when going abroad. In no way whatsoever should you have had to put up with being slagged off for it. It's not on and not right. Lots of love from from one of your frogs , as always xxx
People can be so judgmental when it comes to young children, like stfu you probably don’t even have kids. But honestly when I saw that pic of Ziggy I just knew people were going to go off. Keep on doing you guys! You two are wonderful parents ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I cannot believe that drama, I and all of my siblings were runners! So after i got lost in the shops for 20 mins because I ran away my mum got one. No, toddlers don't love the harness for the most part, but I would rather be safe. Even if toddlers do listen they can get distracted by stuff and wander off or stop following you, I definitely did that all the time, so safety first.
I used to wear those when I was a little, I run off to hide place, my mom was panicked that she couldn’t find me because I am a deaf. I turned fine , no problems!
Love you two so much! I loved the pictures from Barcelona they were wonderful and I also love Ziggy's toddler reins! I don't care what any nasty humans on any platform say about your choices to keep your son safe. In this insane world we all have to be cautious about safety especially for children. Love the toddler reins, wish I would of had them when I was raising kids. Keep loving each other and doing what's right to keep your beautiful boy safe and sound. ❤
Please keep us posted on therapy. I love you guys - and it makes me feel less alone to know someone as awesome as you also has this type of anxiety. Please keep sharing and talking about it ❤️ sending you so much love.
I applaud your continued bravery and perseverance in continuing to share your lives with us lucky viewers! Your content has brought so much joy and help to my partner and me. I know she especially has found a lot of comfort to her, seeing how normalizing of a queer marriage your content is. I know it's hard to ignore the dips on the internet. But you got this! We appreciate you so much! ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍
I'm sorry you had to deal with negative comments to such lovely photos honestly! I hope that didn't dampen things too much for you. Keep smiling you guys are awesome
I’m so glad Ziggy is okay 🥺 💙 that’s so scary omg!!! I just gave birth 3 weeks ago to my little Ziggy. We saw the name Zigmund and absolutely fell in love it’s a great name 😹🥰
My son has autism and honestly, I wouldn't go anywhere without one of those bag "leashes" lol he doesn't follow instructions and his safety is more important to me than someone's opinion. At the end of the day you still have your son, so people who have an issue with it are just being ignorant and bored. Don't worry about that. From one mom to another - you're doing a fantastic job! ❤😘 Also, you are both gorgeous! 😍😅😉
My sister was on toddler reigns for a long time, she would get distracted & wander off, so my parents decided to keep her safe. They could tell it wasn't malicuous misbehaving but general forgettibg & poor impulse control. Of course toddlers suffer with those issues & it is normal but my sister later did get diagnosed with autism & adhd. Toddler reigns were definitely only a positive for my sister & I am shocked people seemingly can not identify the positives.
I had reins when I was a toddler and I liked them. It was like playing a game with my mum where you would see how far you could get whilst they were slack. Absolutely no harm done
Watching you two being such wonderful mums with so much love for ziggy is a beautiful thing. Ignore the negative comments on baby reins Rose, they make no sense.
when i was a toddler i was a runner too, and it’s so understandable that you’d put the reigns on him in a different country?? my mum used to put the reigns on me when we simply went to tesco!!
As someone who has also faced critique on my social media for the smallest of the things, I feel for you and sympathise. Some people are just looking for things to pick others apart on, it's horrible. I am a very calm, peaceful person, yet I have one hater who always wants to argue. Don't even pay any notice, your parenting style or anything else you choose to do is none of their business. Also, love you loving yourself, Rosie. I can very much relate, as I only just began embracing the real me and stopped caring about outer opinions. As a spiritual person, lessons are very real.
Hating the comments on your style of parenting. Both of you have been such unproblematic queer role models online since the age of dawn, people just want reasons to bring you down. You’re amazing people and such beautiful parents. I just love seeing Ziggy and you’ll just grow together. Seeing queer families just living is such a blessing ❤✨
those people clearly don't know what they're talking about so keep up the good work guys! i can speak for myself, i've been watching your videos for ages now and i'm pretty sure it made a huge difference in my life and how i dealt and deal with my sexuality nowadays. so yeah , your kid is so lucky to have you both and so is the internet to have you share those special moments
You two are incredible parents! Using reins let’s the child have a bit more freedom too explore in a safe way. That was such a non issue people are ridiculous 😂
This was really an amazing video as always ❤️🐸 I enjoy always your content and videos so much!! I sending lots of love and hugs to whole this amazing family 🐸🐸🐸
Unless you are a danger to your child, he's happy well adjusted child, until you've lost a child and recovered them hours later, don't judge people who use toddler reigns, I watch your channel a lot and you do what makes you feel safe and happy, ziggy is a lovely child and you can't he comes from a loving family, be proud.😊
Girls you did the wright thing I have cared for children for 60 years its better to keep your children safe than listen to those who most likely not had children and are just mean. Love you girls your doing great.
Super proud of you for starting CBT! I hope it helps where you need it to. Just wanna say, too, thar if you ever wanted to tackle your OCD specifically - there’s an app in the U.S. and UK called NOCD and it connects to therapists specially trained in your type of OCD. I used them for ERP and it was great. I still have some work to go, but I really notice a difference in how quickly I can put the breaks on rumination and compulsions. Best of luck with everything, Rose! Lots of love to you both! xx ❤️ Edit: With absolutely no offense meant to BetterHelp, btw. 😅 I use them also (thanks to one of your previous sponsored vids) for CBT because multiple therapies means multiple healing, amirite? Amazing sponsor, that BetterHelp place. You heard it here straight from the audience mouth, RUclips brand associate at BetterHelp who’s definitely reading this… it’s really cool. (Maybe BetterHelp could partner with NOCD someday, though? Might be fun. If that suggestion somehow wants to make it to their respective marketing departments. 👀 Just sayin’.)
Would love to hear how cbt works for you, I suffer with really bad health anxiety myself and everything you were saying I related too, it’s nice to know it’s not just me, I hope it helps and you find a way to cope with it because I know how hard it can be ❤
Fully support toddler reins! My best use has been busy airport I’m wheeling two suitcases and my toddler can happily walk without going to far. I didn’t have the ability to carry him, the stroller had the car seat, he could walk. Wins all round.
When I was a kid I ended up running around the zoo and got lost. They found me near a gorilla cage lol. I’m pretty sure when I get kids of my own I’ll consider using toddler leashes / harnesses / reins.
I don’t really love the ‘toddler reins’ on kids but I saw your pictures and though “weird” but then saw him with it and free, so I thought “oh nice!” Liked the pictures and moved on, i know you guys for a while so I knew you would do whatever you were bc you had reason and weren’t doing it for the reason many other people do, like not have to deal with their kids, but I didn’t comment anything bc to me it was clear, there’s a picture of him with it and no one holding him for gods sake… Rose, hope you feel better and don’t listen to people who think they can be a better parent than you for your own kid! Lots of love ❤
My sister had nanny elbow, so she was put on a leash and random ppl would stop my parents to let them know how cruel and humiliating it was to her, and unfair bc my brother wasn’t on one and they’re about a 15 months apart.
Hello! Sharing experiences I’ve had, I’ve never been to Barcelona so I don’t know if it’s the same there, but when I’ve been abroad to Turkey, Portugal etc, lots of people there would touch my head and tap it. It’s because in those places they see blonde hair as being lucky, and myself being blonde, lots of people just came up and touched my head! Not sure if that was the case for Rosie and Ziggy, but when you said about that, that was the first thing I thought of. Equally, he could have been some pr**k.
People really have a lot of free time specially to criticize others it really is beyond my understanding how people think they have open liberty and can comment about just anything
I've been watching you guys for a decade now. You guys are amazing. And I'm sorry some people leave mean comments. Know that it only takes a few seconds for anyone to write something mean and move on, so don't dwell on these comments.
My son had reigns. My son was a runner. I have no qualms about using them or anyone else using them. He didn’t want to be in a pushchair…. My son is now 24 and reigns haven’t had any detrimental affect on his life………
I don’t understand the issue with those reigns like, they are a SAFTEY measure. How could this be seen as bad parenting when you’re simply trying to keep him safe??
I loved that you have a rein for Ziggy. My husband is an identical twin and back when he and his brother were toddlers Their Mom had a double harness for them when she took them out when shopping and that was in the 50’s. Soo that is not new just wanted to pass that on. I love you both and your amazing Moms and beautiful, fantastic and talented women. ❤️😘I am from Dripping Springs, Tx which is 13 miles west of Austin.
Toddlers run. They drop to their knees and you can pull their arms out of socket. Also kids are kids. They aren't always going to listen. But the leash is to help keep them safe
Seriously half the “parenting experts” guaranteed DONT have kids……don’t EVER explain , do what makes you feel safe. You do you and everyone else can go to hell
I had some kind of toddler reigns on as a kid and no damage taken! It really helped my parents not to lose me! ❤ So please don't worry about very opinionated people out there!
Just a note for anyone who feels they might want to try Better Help - please do your research. There are lots of testimonies of people having negative experiences with them and even them potentially getting into legal trouble by not properly vetting their therapists, who may not be properly qualified. If you have used Better Help and it’s worked for you that’s great, I just think that everyone should be aware of the allegations so they can make an informed choice. There are alternatives out there for online / more affordable therapy that aren’t BH.
commenting to boost this, it's really disappointing to see so many people still accepting spons from them
Boosting
what’s a good alternative?
Thank you for the informative comment!! I started signing up for BH but I doubt my insurance will cover more than like 4 months max. 280 a month is just not possible with my health insurance. Please any recommendations that are not BH?
Yess Better Help has been knows for YEARS to be bad! I still clicked the link just in case it helps Rose & Rosie, but I wouldn't recommend anyone to give money to Better Help
Pros to using baby reins: adds safety, allows the child to feel free, less heavy to hold than a child;
Con: some nobody you've never heard of gets passive aggressive over it on Instagram because they think they know better (every child is the same, after all)
Tough choice lol

I'm a follower since 2014, when I was 15 and now I'm 24. I dont't why I say that but anyways, you have helped me this whole way for just posting a video, through a lot of my days and important years of my life. I love seeing your relationship through the years and your daily life or just talking. When I see you, I relax. It's a happy moment of my day.
I'm sorry for the jerks out there...,I'm really sorry. You guys both shine so brightly and with Ziggy as well is so beautiful, he's a cutie as well.
I don't know... I wish those people don't get you down, honestly. You guys are wonderful moms and you're doing your best. Those people don't know how to handle their own life and try to "handle" other's people lives...
I love you Rose and Rosie, from a small place of Argentina called "Tucumán". ❤
So sorry that there are people like that in this world, you are both great parents who will protect their child the best way you can. Much love to you all and you are what many families wish to be but they can't.
What you guys did was just good parenting and completely understandable especially when traveling in a foreign country and how horrible things like kidnapping happen quickly. those people are just negative. love you guys ❤
A constant reminder every one needs: if someone can’t change something within 30 seconds, don’t comment about it or be rude about it
I literally NEEDED reigns as a kid I nearly died/got abducted several times, I have adhd and wasn't a naughty kid but definitely had a running off problem, it's just responsible parenting to use toddler reigns at the end of the day YOU KNOW YOUR CHILD, it's bizzare to me that other people feel like they can judge your parenting when they don't even know you lmao
My Mum used baby reins a lot with my little brother because he just had this need to run away constantly and would run into roads or out of shops. Some people will try and claim it is poor parenting but as the older child both my parents taught all the right things about crossing roads, holding hands, et , sometimes people just need extra assistance!
My grandma taught me most of what I would ever need in life with a few simple statements she always made. 1. She would say Jennifer if you don't love someone, and they mean nothing to you why let them influence how you feel on the inside. 2. All I ask is you do what makes you happy in life and do the best you possibly can. 3. We cannot possibly judge a person whose life we have not lived. 4. Lastly, she would always say I love you, then she would say you want to know why, I'd say why, and she would say just because I do. Point is you are always doing all you can, with all you know, in any single moment to be the best moms you can be and that shows in every video. On a less serious note, you both are Gemini's, so it is best he stays connected in case you go floating off with all that air lol💚
Pretty sure you both are incredible parents and I definitely use toddler reigns. My kid is fast, like so fast...one time I sneezed and she literally got away from me. Like in the 2 seconds I sneezed she was like 50 yards away. So yes I use things that make myself and my child safe. So sorry you have to deal with rude comments and really sorry about the weird man in Spain. I'm so glad you all are ok, people are just weird and dangerous especially these days. Stay safe!!! Giant hugs and support❤!!!
I've seen the drama on instagram. I can completely understand the comments affected you ! Personnally i was surprised because i'd never seen that (I live in France and I've never seen anyone use this, but maybe it exists too), so I think maybe people didn't mean anything mean, and probably made "jokes" because they didn't understand, most of them probably didn't think you valued him as a dog. But either way, I can understand why it affected you so much ! You're both amazing 💛
These two ladies are so beautiful and their son looks so happy two wonderful mums
You do you Rose. How you and Rosie parent and care for your child is no one else’s business. Be kind to yourself when others try to demean you. See yourself as so many of us see you…worthy and loved. You and Rosie bring so much joy to so many of us and we are blessed to be allowed to share in your life! Thank you for always be you!
I am so sad that the RUclips stop notifies me when you put on a video, but some days I came to your channels to see you and hear from you. I love you guys, it’s a little incredible how much love I have for you both, you mean a lot to me, I’m glad you’re back safe🫀
What happened to you guys is awfully and I'm glad Ziggy is safe. Personally I would do it too if I were in an unknown country with my toddler if I had one.
Ditto. Me great grandmother used a harness on me and it saved me. Whilst in America, someone tried to snatch me at a two-guys. She was able to yank me back and lather the pervert with her cane. She actually made him bleed. The cops were called but they showed up 2 hrs after he had run off. The Roses live in the real world, they know they need to keep the Ziggy safe.
@@IPONJ omg ya I'm glad you weren't snatched away!! Thank god for the harness your granny knew what she was doing fr!! I'm Indian and honestly I was lucky I grew up in a metropolitan city so it's pretty safe here but there are some places particularly small towns in some states where you have to be careful because every state in India is like a country of its own they have their own language and the customs change from state to state so you gotta look out for your kids p.e.r.i.o.d.
@@Cattobase2203 Sounds scary
@@IPONJ eh not really I mean if you're careful nothings going to happen and I suppose there are some sketchy places in every country for instance I've never been robbed in India but I was in Belize because they knew you I wasn't from. I suppose you become an easy target anywhere you standout
@@Cattobase2203 True.There are a few "bad" places in Ireland. Have a great day/night. Be safe.
The two of you are amazing parents. If it wasn’t for baby reins, my niece would have been hit by cars numerous times. They are just so wiggly and quick. Keep being you and your frogs will take care of the haters ❤️❤️❤️
You are both incredible Mummies!! Your baby's frog safety comes first!! Being in a foreign country with a language barrier can be quite tricky, and with a toddler it's even more bc you always have to be extra hypervigilant! Really so confused as to why Ziggy having a baby backpack is anyone else's concern!? Keep doing YOU lovelies! It's sad there's people out there who think it's okay to comment when it has NOTHING to do with them!
On the bright side of things, I'm SO happy you were able to go on a trip as a family for the first time since 2019! Sending you so much love and hugs to you! You two are truly so genuine and kind. You deserve nothing but all the joy and happiness!
I'm from Barcelona. I'm so sorry you had to go through that.
Thanks! 2:37
Can I just say wearing baby reigns was arguably the most fun experience of my toddlerhood😂being able to just drop to the floor or dangle whenever I felt like it because I knew I’d be caught felt so freeing! Miss it tbh😔😂🐸🩷
i was walking at like 8 months and HATED being in a pushchair (ive got adhd so it makes sense). I probably wouldve killed myself by running into traffic or something if my mum didnt use a leash
Spot on. People show their ugly selves on the internet. Living your life for yourself and not others, love that comment.
Rose: My mental health has been dire.
Rosie: I’m gonna go do the eggs ：）
Hope you get better Rose, don’t listen to the silly Instagram people.
12:25 Ziggy is so much like Rose, he’s saying pooh pooh!
I got you Rose, my mental health has been bad recently too. Let's get through this!
I was a very active toddler that had to be leashed. I turned out fine ☺️ and also never ran into traffic/got kidnapped. Fuck the judgy obnoxious people, do what’s best for your child. The only opinion that matters is yours when it comes to your kid’s safety and well-being
Hi there. I paid to see a Psychiatrist recently and he diagnosed me with Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Social Anxiety Disorder along with recuring Depressive Illness. Mine is so life dominating that i've never been able to work which I find a huge embarrassment. Rose I think that you are remarkable to be able to lead the life you do with the weight you carry in your mind. Be proud of yourself x
ps i'm 42!
Woah that's weird... Your comment just caught my eye, cos I've just recently been diagnosed with social anxiety and GAD too, along with a couple other similar things...! It's a small world really isn't it!
@@Chelle8847 yeah. I think it's much more common than people think x
I was a toddler leash baby, I’d wanna be friends with everyone and play hide and seek ALL THE TIME. If I wasn’t on a lead I don’t think my parents would have ever seen me again
When I lived in Upper Herdferd in the late seventy and early eighties was the first time I saw a toddler leash I was taken aback being form the US. But after I had my daughter a few years later I really wished I had one. The shear security of have control of your child in a store or a park is amazing.
Reins give far more freedom than holding hands or being stuck in a pushchair. I have absolutely no idea how reins on a toddler could be seen in a negative light by anyone, and if the critics are parents, I pity their children.
Evening ladies. As a parent myself to 3, now much older kids, who of two, that now have kids of their own. We all have our own way of parenting. The mothers of all of my kids did what they thought was best& they were correct in every way. There is no damm handbook on how to do it. The criticism you got on Instagram, was bang out of order. Ladies, you do what you feel is best for YOU with regard to Ziggy's safety, especially when going abroad. In no way whatsoever should you have had to put up with being slagged off for it. It's not on and not right. Lots of love from from one of your frogs , as always xxx
Your hair looks SO AMAZING!
People can be so judgmental when it comes to young children, like stfu you probably don’t even have kids. But honestly when I saw that pic of Ziggy I just knew people were going to go off. Keep on doing you guys! You two are wonderful parents ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I cannot believe that drama, I and all of my siblings were runners! So after i got lost in the shops for 20 mins because I ran away my mum got one. No, toddlers don't love the harness for the most part, but I would rather be safe. Even if toddlers do listen they can get distracted by stuff and wander off or stop following you, I definitely did that all the time, so safety first.
I used to wear those when I was a little, I run off to hide place, my mom was panicked that she couldn’t find me because I am a deaf. I turned fine , no problems!
I did CBT and lots of counselling over the years. It was hard in the beginning but ended up loving it. I did it a few times and did other classes.💜💜
Love you two so much! I loved the pictures from Barcelona they were wonderful and I also love Ziggy's toddler reins! I don't care what any nasty humans on any platform say about your choices to keep your son safe. In this insane world we all have to be cautious about safety especially for children. Love the toddler reins, wish I would of had them when I was raising kids. Keep loving each other and doing what's right to keep your beautiful boy safe and sound. ❤
Please keep us posted on therapy. I love you guys - and it makes me feel less alone to know someone as awesome as you also has this type of anxiety. Please keep sharing and talking about it ❤️ sending you so much love.
I applaud your continued bravery and perseverance in continuing to share your lives with us lucky viewers! Your content has brought so much joy and help to my partner and me. I know she especially has found a lot of comfort to her, seeing how normalizing of a queer marriage your content is. I know it's hard to ignore the dips on the internet. But you got this! We appreciate you so much! ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍
I'm sorry you had to deal with negative comments to such lovely photos honestly! I hope that didn't dampen things too much for you. Keep smiling you guys are awesome
To heck with judgmental ppl. You two do what you need to do to protect your baby boy cuz he’s number one. Y’all are doing an awesome job! 💜💜
I’m so glad Ziggy is okay 🥺 💙 that’s so scary omg!!! I just gave birth 3 weeks ago to my little Ziggy. We saw the name Zigmund and absolutely fell in love it’s a great name 😹🥰
Ugh I just love you guys!! Appreciate you! 🙌💕
My son has autism and honestly, I wouldn't go anywhere without one of those bag "leashes" lol he doesn't follow instructions and his safety is more important to me than someone's opinion. At the end of the day you still have your son, so people who have an issue with it are just being ignorant and bored. Don't worry about that. From one mom to another - you're doing a fantastic job! ❤😘 Also, you are both gorgeous! 😍😅😉
I was just going to comment this! It's very easy for people who don't have kids, or who have neurotypical kids that don't run to judge.
My sister was on toddler reigns for a long time, she would get distracted & wander off, so my parents decided to keep her safe. They could tell it wasn't malicuous misbehaving but general forgettibg & poor impulse control. Of course toddlers suffer with those issues & it is normal but my sister later did get diagnosed with autism & adhd. Toddler reigns were definitely only a positive for my sister & I am shocked people seemingly can not identify the positives.
02:32 I've got new earbuds and they have picked up a burp at this time stamp but they are both talking, although it's probably just Ziggy.
you guys are doing so well with ziggy and are an inspiration. lovely video
I had reins when I was a toddler and I liked them. It was like playing a game with my mum where you would see how far you could get whilst they were slack. Absolutely no harm done
Watching you two being such wonderful mums with so much love for ziggy is a beautiful thing. Ignore the negative comments on baby reins Rose, they make no sense.
welcome back from barcelona ladies!! also loving the fringes 💇♀️
The point of this conversation is everyone is annoying 😂😂😂😂 yes I agree Rose!😊
when i was a toddler i was a runner too, and it’s so understandable that you’d put the reigns on him in a different country?? my mum used to put the reigns on me when we simply went to tesco!!
As someone who has also faced critique on my social media for the smallest of the things, I feel for you and sympathise. Some people are just looking for things to pick others apart on, it's horrible. I am a very calm, peaceful person, yet I have one hater who always wants to argue.
Don't even pay any notice, your parenting style or anything else you choose to do is none of their business.
Also, love you loving yourself, Rosie. I can very much relate, as I only just began embracing the real me and stopped caring about outer opinions. As a spiritual person, lessons are very real.
Hating the comments on your style of parenting. Both of you have been such unproblematic queer role models online since the age of dawn, people just want reasons to bring you down. You’re amazing people and such beautiful parents. I just love seeing Ziggy and you’ll just grow together. Seeing queer families just living is such a blessing ❤✨
Hope u guys had a lovely holiday :)) thanks for all you do!
Rose you're a strong ( very ) girl/woman, you can handle this, no problem! And most importantly you got Rosie and Ziggy! Love the 3 of you! ❤️
those people clearly don't know what they're talking about so keep up the good work guys! i can speak for myself, i've been watching your videos for ages now and i'm pretty sure it made a huge difference in my life and how i dealt and deal with my sexuality nowadays. so yeah , your kid is so lucky to have you both and so is the internet to have you share those special moments
You two are incredible parents! Using reins let’s the child have a bit more freedom too explore in a safe way. That was such a non issue people are ridiculous 😂
I’ve always thought toddle reins (or whatever you want to call them) were a great idea. I think it shows a conscientious, caring parent 🤷🏻
oh rosie is absolutely glowing
This was really an amazing video as always ❤️🐸 I enjoy always your content and videos so much!! I sending lots of love and hugs to whole this amazing family 🐸🐸🐸
Unless you are a danger to your child, he's happy well adjusted child, until you've lost a child and recovered them hours later, don't judge people who use toddler reigns, I watch your channel a lot and you do what makes you feel safe and happy, ziggy is a lovely child and you can't he comes from a loving family, be proud.😊
Girls you did the wright thing I have cared for children for 60 years its better to keep your children safe than listen to those who most likely not had children and are just mean. Love you girls your doing great.
I just heaved at that last part of the vid! lol! Some things you just can't un-see!
Loved the video…the boggie made me really chuckle 😊
Good job brushing the lawn Ziggy :)
😂😂😂 thank you Joel ❤❤❤
That’s so cute I love that you donated 🤣🤣😍🤍
Great video. Nothing wrong with protection your child! Love you all!
Super proud of you for starting CBT! I hope it helps where you need it to. Just wanna say, too, thar if you ever wanted to tackle your OCD specifically - there’s an app in the U.S. and UK called NOCD and it connects to therapists specially trained in your type of OCD. I used them for ERP and it was great. I still have some work to go, but I really notice a difference in how quickly I can put the breaks on rumination and compulsions. Best of luck with everything, Rose! Lots of love to you both! xx ❤️
Edit: With absolutely no offense meant to BetterHelp, btw. 😅 I use them also (thanks to one of your previous sponsored vids) for CBT because multiple therapies means multiple healing, amirite? Amazing sponsor, that BetterHelp place. You heard it here straight from the audience mouth, RUclips brand associate at BetterHelp who’s definitely reading this… it’s really cool.
(Maybe BetterHelp could partner with NOCD someday, though? Might be fun. If that suggestion somehow wants to make it to their respective marketing departments. 👀 Just sayin’.)
Much love and support to you ladies
Would love to hear how cbt works for you, I suffer with really bad health anxiety myself and everything you were saying I related too, it’s nice to know it’s not just me, I hope it helps and you find a way to cope with it because I know how hard it can be ❤
Fully support toddler reins! My best use has been busy airport I’m wheeling two suitcases and my toddler can happily walk without going to far. I didn’t have the ability to carry him, the stroller had the car seat, he could walk. Wins all round.
Qué alegría ver en redes que estaban por España ❤ espero que os haya gustado 😊
That was disgusting that guy did that don’t listen to the idiots leaving their comments absolutely tell them off Rose
When I was a kid I ended up running around the zoo and got lost. They found me near a gorilla cage lol. I’m pretty sure when I get kids of my own I’ll consider using toddler leashes / harnesses / reins.
I don’t really love the ‘toddler reins’ on kids but I saw your pictures and though “weird” but then saw him with it and free, so I thought “oh nice!” Liked the pictures and moved on, i know you guys for a while so I knew you would do whatever you were bc you had reason and weren’t doing it for the reason many other people do, like not have to deal with their kids, but I didn’t comment anything bc to me it was clear, there’s a picture of him with it and no one holding him for gods sake… Rose, hope you feel better and don’t listen to people who think they can be a better parent than you for your own kid! Lots of love ❤
My sister had nanny elbow, so she was put on a leash and random ppl would stop my parents to let them know how cruel and humiliating it was to her, and unfair bc my brother wasn’t on one and they’re about a 15 months apart.
Hello! Sharing experiences I’ve had, I’ve never been to Barcelona so I don’t know if it’s the same there, but when I’ve been abroad to Turkey, Portugal etc, lots of people there would touch my head and tap it. It’s because in those places they see blonde hair as being lucky, and myself being blonde, lots of people just came up and touched my head! Not sure if that was the case for Rosie and Ziggy, but when you said about that, that was the first thing I thought of. Equally, he could have been some pr**k.
People really have a lot of free time specially to criticize others it really is beyond my understanding how people think they have open liberty and can comment about just anything
I've been watching you guys for a decade now. You guys are amazing. And I'm sorry some people leave mean comments. Know that it only takes a few seconds for anyone to write something mean and move on, so don't dwell on these comments.
My son had reigns. My son was a runner. I have no qualms about using them or anyone else using them. He didn’t want to be in a pushchair…. My son is now 24 and reigns haven’t had any detrimental affect on his life………
I don’t understand the issue with those reigns like, they are a SAFTEY measure. How could this be seen as bad parenting when you’re simply trying to keep him safe??
I loved that you have a rein for Ziggy. My husband is an identical twin and back when he and his brother were toddlers Their Mom had a double harness for them when she took them out when shopping and that was in the 50’s. Soo that is not new just wanted to pass that on. I love you both and your amazing Moms and beautiful, fantastic and talented women. ❤️😘I am from Dripping Springs, Tx which is 13 miles west of Austin.
My mom used the reins on us when little. There were 5 of us kids in 8 yrs. Several of us were runners. It kept us alive and safe.
Toddlers run. They drop to their knees and you can pull their arms out of socket. Also kids are kids. They aren't always going to listen. But the leash is to help keep them safe
Seriously half the “parenting experts” guaranteed DONT have kids……don’t EVER explain , do what makes you feel safe. You do you and everyone else can go to hell
Ignore the mummy mafia. They are idiots. You are both awesome, you can see how much you love that little boy.
I had some kind of toddler reigns on as a kid and no damage taken! It really helped my parents not to lose me! ❤ So please don't worry about very opinionated people out there!
Also I was a leash baby. My mom put a backpack leash on me at the mall and vacations. I don’t remember it at all, but I trust her judgement.
