Mimo when I tell you I feel you to the core and I haven’t even had kids yet. I live with a baby now and I refuse to babysit day after day. Being the oldest really takes the motherhood out of you. It’s an all encompassing exhaustion. ❤
They are cute babies, 100% no doubt about it but there are high challenges for the caretakers when these kids reach their teenage years. I know because my brother in law has Down syndrome and he troubles his mother extremely lot.
How you talked about people with down syndrome just melted my heart. As someone that has a brother with down syndrome I know how loving and kind hearted they are. It makes me so happy when people don't judge them
I’ve worked as a special needs teacher at a K-8 school for 25 years now and I completely agree! Like any person, people will try Down syndrome do have their difficulties and roadblocks at times but who doesn’t? Overall though they just have this sweet genuine caring soul in them and it’s always a joy for me when I get to work with them.
Mimo. I absolutely hate it when people ask “when are you making a child”. When i got married me and my husband didn’t really want a child right away. We wanted to wait a few years. But people started talking about me not making a child for my husband. A few older women actually approached me and said “you need to make a baby for your husband”. I absolutely hated it. Cause they don’t know what i am going through. There are lots of women going through fertility issues (not me but i have a friend that has been married for years and she cries cause she cannot get pregnant) and can’t make a child but society keeps pressuring them to make it. Now years later me and my husband have our first child and lots of people keep saying “you need to make another one”.
It’s frustrating on top of this, they don’t value the child when it’s here. It’s like it’s a symbol of status and not a whole person. I’m sorry you and your friend and many other women have to deal with this. You should be able to just live your life without these big expectations. I’m transmasc but even before realizing this I didn’t want kids and I still don’t. Still, I remember one time a I was asked if I had kids (after introducing myself) and another time over the phone a customer said I “sounded like a mom”. People really need to think before opening their mouths 😭
I dont even like when people joke on having kids, I can really understand the pressure. Dont take it too much to heart cause people really have no sense sometimes
Children with Down Syndrome and intellectual disabilities are the Children of Jannah. They are simply too pure for this world. They absolutely have my heart too.
I have a friend who has a younger brother with Downs syndrome. He is in his early 50s and only about 5' tall. He is so sweet and he gives the best hugs. I understand how you feel about them. ❤
No Fr. I am the oldest and I’m starting to hear “kids” and I’m looking at them crazy like … “so who’s gonna tell them?” (I don’t want kids😭). 9 mths of pregnancy is no joke and that’s not even the hard part. It’s taking care of them for who knows how long👩🏾🦯
And potentially not even getting time to at least heal after giving birth before beginning your new lifelong responsibility of caring for a child-starting with having to feed them and change a diaper every 2 hours. Every pregnant woman I know needed stitches down there after giving birth and had to wear pads consecutively for days to weeks to stop the blood. And even with all that they immediately had to be on their feet 24/7 instead of resting like the doctor recommended. It’s even worse if you have a partner that defaults to forcing _you_ into being the one and only full time caretaker of this child regardless of how much pain you are in “because child rearing is a woman's job" or something.
@@riverstein7251 this is the most *accurate* thing I’ve heard. The bleeding consecutively makes me think of the 9 months of missed period so now you’re just bleeding for weeks at a time. And some women don’t get paid time off for getting maturity leave. Also how did you make the “you” italics without using fonts?
I so get you! People be like 'so, when are the babies coming?'. Will you come and make sure the baby doesn't wake me up in the night? Will you pay for about a 10k euros extra a child entails in costs? Will you pay for whatever I need to get done if my body gets ruined by the pregnancy? Will you take the baby if indeed, it turns out I regret having one? Will you take care of the children when I go on vacation so I can enjoy the free time without someone needing my attention eeeeeeveeeery second? More power to those who make children but it's not for everyone. There's more to life than getting pregnant and everything that entails to raise a child.
I am the same Mimo! My cousin had down syndrome, long story short. My aunt had her in '70, when my cousin was born they told my aunt, to just put the baby in a home, because she won't make it to her 1st bday. My aunt and uncle said "ABSOLUTELY NOT!!", they took her home! My cousin was 6 years older than me, so I knew her my whole life. Thankfully my children were able to experience her strength and funny ways!! Sadly, we lost her back in '06. I'll never forget that day...she had gotten out of the shower, sat on her bed, called for my aunt. She laid back, told her mom, she is tired, she just wanted to go home to Jesus and to our grandmother. The hardest thing for my aunt to say, was telling her 1st born, that it was ok, it is ok to leave. She held onto her hand as she took her last breath. She wasn't supposed to make it to her 1st bday, well she just made it to her 36th!! I miss her all the time, I think of her often, she was 100% genuine 💕💕 I guess it wasn't short...sorry lol 🥹
I felt this to my core! I broke up with a guy because I couldn't handle his girls (he has custody). They were 9 & 12 at the time. The weekends I spent with them were good, but my patience is gone.
Hi Mimo! I absolutely love your videos and you are such a big inspiration to me! I just started working in a Meijer in Michigan as a cake decorator, and I love it! I've been watching your videos to get some ideas for pipping designs, keep up your amazing work!!!❤
Whenever I start getting baby fever, I babysit my nephew for 4 or 5 hours. That's more than enough to remind me that I like being an uncle, not being a parent 😂
Mimo, 💯 agree. I work with adults with disabilities and my people with Down’s syndrome are my fave people. They have the best sense of humour, they’re very creative and they are the most charming and charismatic people. Seriously, what’s not to love!
I always appreciate your honesty because it's so hard to point to people willing to support your wishes about current for future motherhood. I'm so tired of being demonized for not wanting to have the kids they think I should because they feel alone in a state of being they didn't want or found they really never wanted.
My youngest living brother and my great aunt both had the extra chromosome/downs syndrome. They both are/were the sweetest, kindest and amazing individuals. Each very different but both had my heart in different ways. Aunt Donna passed a few years ago and my bro is 21 this year and learning new skills every day. I'm so proud of him. Each of them taught me important life lessons and are wonderful human beings, who I love with all my heart. Thank you for talking about it, not many bring up these topics and its nice to see positive reactions instead of the unkind remarks I usually hear/see. Spread the love! Happy birthday little one! May your birthday and your life be full of blessings!
I just can’t fathom people ever being cruel or saying mean things to anyone who has downs. I think I would truly break down if I ever witnessed that. They truly are the most kind hearted and sweetest people. I’m sorry you have to experience that with your brother and aunt. 🥺 may she RIP.
As a disabled person, I can't imagine having children. I need help taking care of myself and my conditions are genetic and couldn't fathom risking giving this kind of suffering to anyone, much less my own kid. I like OPKs sometimes (other people's kids) but I couldn't babysit anyone. I used to when I had more ability, mobility and agility. Now I need someone to babysit me 😅
I love him in the balloon with the giraffe!! also i can relate…… Having to take care of babies since i could mix a bottle…. I don’t want any until im 30 😅
I teach very young kids to play harmonium it's all fun but drains energy physically and mentally though it looks easy i really really respect you like you managed and handled so many kids really mothers are awesome
There are two kinds of people that also have my heart. (At least two.) Those with Down Syndrome, and those with Sanfillipo syndrome. Sanfillipo syndrome is often tagged at childhood dementia. Their life expectancy is 15 years old. They may appear to present autism or ADHD in the beginning of their life. Around three to six, they begin to regress and forget many skills. Due to their young mental age, though, they are almost always bright, bubbly, and happy.
@@Maisygirl1974 idk about that. I tell my kids I’ll gladly babysit when they need one for date night or a small vacation. But definitely not to sit with all the time. I know, I sound like a horrible grandma but I’m literally done 🙈🙈
Ugh when I got married at 18 everyone was like "omg you're throwing away the young years, you're too irresponsible to be married, you're gonna regret it in 10 years" but as soon as my husband and I got settled down in an apartment on came the onslaught of "WHEN ARE YOU HAVING KIDS??? Are you gonna have kids? How many do you want? When should we start planning for your pregnancy?" Like omg chill!!!
Ive seen a lot of cute babies, and my kids were so gorgeous they could have been diaper models, but im worried i just thought that because it was my babies lol
I have a brother with downsyndrome and b4 he xame into my lufe i didnt know anything and i mean ANYTHING abt it. Even the fact the it existed. Hes now 3 ½ and hes the happiness and sunshine in our family 🥹. Hes the cutest even and whenevr i see someone with downsyndrome i het so excited cuz of how adorable they are 🥹😭🫶🏼
@@BakeMyDayMimo because they don't know much, unfortunately people with various disorders don't have many opportunities to socialize, in small cities like mine the situation is even worth. That' s why we need famous people and bloggers with a lot of subs to talk for them, to explain that should be treated equally
So... I learnt that evolutionary we are made to dislike a baby crying. Research showed that the cry of a baby gives rise to anger and unrest and people feel a sudden urge to shut it up. It is, beyond other many reasons, because a crying baby easily gives away a safe spot and attracts predators or gives you away if you need to stay hidden. The little annoying humans found a way to mellow our hearts: tears. Look at a baby and see how when they cry they make tiny fists and push their eyes with them. That stimulates tears. And we tend to jump and help when we see tears and someone crying rather than when we simply hear the sound of crying. Babies instinctually 'manipulate' those around them as their tantrums and cries are basically cute and heartbreaking only towards their parents. Others would otherwise very much prefer to not be eaten by a tiger because your offspring started crying. 😅
Please commit to Jesus before it too late he is not a prophet if you get a Holy Bible you will see what he has done for us and please commit to him because he wants to be with you but right now you re pick no I love your videos and I want the best for you
No one cares let anyone be there on religion. OK the end is not coming for a very long time. She’s Muslim I’m Jewish we’re different people. We will never have a change.
Jesus was not a Christian. If you are a true follower of Jesus then you would have more respect for others and not try to force others to join the same path as you. The true meaning of love thy neighbour is to respect them as they are.

@@sagesufferswell i started asking them if they’ll help me raise these kids they want me to make. 💀 that usually shuts them up.
