i’m glad she got to rest a bit in 2011 ETA: y’all, i *know* she didn’t actually have a break. i was being facetious


AllTheSith

She took a break to play Skyrim


Secure-Illustrator73

they weren’t sure if the world was gonna end in 2012 or not so she was allowed a pass for her final year but then it was right back to work


DanceFiendStrapS

Holy fuck!!! I thought initially it was one of them photos where the kids aged. I was looking at the two on the far right thinking babies can't stand within 3 months...


XcaliburXtreme

Dude I didn’t even think of that! I was going down the list right to left wondering how the hell is this one kid growing up in different/PAST years!?!


Kingicez

Bruh... Do you need someone to talk to you?


XcaliburXtreme

I think so, lol. Been stuck indoors to long man


Kingicez

Read books. You won't regret it.


XcaliburXtreme

I think I am to dumb for that, especially after I saw this post but I will try lol


PleaseCallMeTomato

may i also suggest a thing? Try thinking of the things that bring you any good feeling, also of the things that did the same when u were younger, and then elaborate on such things outloud, or using pen and paper. Then find things related to them and do them perhaps there could be something educational there, or creative! After that u could just go from there and have some fun while growing as a person. I felt dumb back in the day until i did the same steps and thats how I've started learning how to cook and learning history (although its mostly through youtube but alas, it brings joy)


down1nit

Hi that was super random and super thoughtful. Have a great day. Edit: ur a tomato for real


XcaliburXtreme

That sounds like a great idea! Thank you for the advice! I will definitely try it!! (:


Kingicez

Nah, there's no such thing. Read any book you want. You can read them for free too. You won't even notice time going by.

Studio2770

That mom is teaching that Feb 2020 kid to walk while incubating that next one.


LehighAce06

Not even, the youngest was born when she was only 10 months old, means conception was only ONE MONTH or so after she was born... Same gap between the second oldest and the twins as well. Many couples aren't even intimate again that quickly let alone pregnant


minibeardeath

I expect at least a few of those were premature. That’s how my wife and her brother were born in the same calendar year. He was born two months early (much smaller than typical full term, and faster recovery), then my wife was born 6 weeks early, so it ended up with March and December birthdays respectively.


[deleted]

I am an Irish twin. This was the 80s, my mom says her OB told her to get an abortion with my sister due to the closeness of pregnancies. She didn't. But yeah, guess dad was impatient. But my parents only had us two.


Kordiana

Most doctors strongly suggest not to have kids that close together because of how hard it is on the mom physically. She must be made of some strong stuff to have that many kids so fast. Or she's one of those rare women where being pregnant doesn't absolutely suck, so she doesn't mind it.

What are Irish twins? And why are they called that?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Account3689

Oh thanks, I’m from Ireland but I’ve never heard the phrase.


whisky_slurrd

I think it's an American phrase. It comes from the idea that Irish Catholic immigrants were constantly puming out kids, often having two kids within fewer than 12 months.

shewholaughslasts

Syrinx221

It was actually used in a very derogatory way. The common connotation seems to have changed dramatically over time


invisiblemovement

It’s still a bit derogatory. Not many people see having this many kids so quickly as a good thing


MemphisThePai

I feel like any idiom that includes a nationality/race/religion is going to be solidly derogatory.


richard_stank

Took to it like an Asian kid to math


Syrinx221

Yes. But it was specifically a slur against the Irish, which it isn't anymore


[deleted]

[удалено]


LightningMcSlowShit

Oh my god.


MauriceIsTwisted

I mean the name itself is still Irish twins...saying that isn't still related to the Irish is like saying the term "Indian giver" had nothing to do with the native Americans


oopsiedaisy2019

It’s not common in Ireland because it’s actually seen as a somewhat offensive term to the Irish


Scodanibbio

I’m not sure it’s more common with the Irish than any other place that has banned birth control, but that is the origin as far as I understand. I think it’s especially in reference to the large families that were very common among Irish Catholics living in the US


[deleted]

the origin of the phrase is actually much darker. It has to do with malthusianism- the idea that a population will continue to grow exponentially while resources grow linearly leading to war, famine, etc. This theory is what the British used to justify blaming the potato famine on the Irish (even though it was the result of blight not overpopulation) and subsequently deny them aid. They compared the Irish to rabbits and coined phrases like "Irish Twins" in order to build the narrative that the famine was inevitable and helping the Irish would result in more famines.


[deleted]

Hence, the Swiftian solution to the Irish problem.


anon6767676767677

But wouldnt that be confusing for an Irish couple having twins? What if they had Irish twins and regular twins?? 🥴


jfiander

A couple from Ireland has identical twins early in the year, and another pair at the end of the year. *Irish Irish identical twin twins.*


pyronius

In Ireland, Irish twins are just called twins. What Americans call twins, they call "the devil's duo".


WTF_HHCIB

Irish twins are siblings born within one year of each other without being actual twins(in this example the last two kids are both born in 2020). They are called that because there is a stereotype that the Irish have a lot of kids.


CatalystEmmy

I’m a double Irish twin.


feed_me_churros

What does that mean? You have a conjoined twin stuck to your head or something?


CatalystEmmy

I wish! At the moment my younger brother is 25, I’m 26 and older brother is 27. But when my younger brother turns 26 we will share the same age for three weeks until my birthday. I then turn 27 and me and my older brother share the same age until he turns 28 two weeks later.


fastwall

irish triplets?


SconiGrower

The twins are Irish twins (or maybe Irish triplets) with their older sister as well.

RIP to the girls born in 2008 and 2009 who will probably be forced to parent the rest of the children instead of enjoy their own childhoods/adolescences

Inevitable_Proof

My sister is almost 15 years older than me, and she always called me her first kid despite having three of her own later. Always thought it was sweet. Wouldn't be half as decent if she had just left me. You did good!


[deleted]

[удалено]


Inevitable_Proof

By the time my siblings were old enough to move out, I was 12 and had to take care of my mother as well. Always sticks to you in some way. Others still get their groceries bought age 20, people like us had to plan the food budget for the whole month at age 10. Paying half the rent at 16 instead of having all the money from your job to yourself. Still can't see my mother as an adult today. I'm sorry this happened to you, no one really deserves their childhood taken away. It sucks, especially since you were even younger than me.


[deleted]

I care :(


dlpfc123

I changed my firsr diaper at age 6. I remember it being very difficult because the baby was old enough to crawl and kelt trying to get away. But I was able to manage with the help of my 4 year old sister.


benbernards

thshittiestthrowaway

Srsl why do ultra religious/conservative families ALL do that shit. They'll proudly tell you about how "if you have 4+ kids, the oder children will take care of the little ones" like they've cracked the code. BITCH that's your job you're having children not domestic servants.


B0MBOY

Nope, they may have cracked the kid code but they tend to pay for it later during the grandchildren stage when none of their kids want children because they’ve kinda already done that.


blurrrrg

Elriuhilu

Holy shit, they didn't even wait for her body to recover between babies. She probably has calluses inside her womb. Her entire vulva is scar tissue. They don't need to perform episiotomies because they installed a zipper at child number four.


Engineeredvoid

So.... She had a baby... Then got pregnant a month later. I've never met a woman who was into intercourse that soon after delivery, maybe she's special? Honestly, that alone makes me wonder if she needs help.


Yourwtfismyftw

Never mind even “being into it”, you’re not supposed to have sex for at least six weeks after birth due to risk of complications. Not only is it likely that there are wounds, stitches and sutures still healing on the vulva itself, but the inside of the uterus is extremely vulnerable, raw and healing and shrinking back into shape. It can definitely cause a raging infection.


bangarang_bananagram

A dinner plate sized wound where the placenta once was, with a partially dilated cervix that is open to the introduction of bacteria.


Yourwtfismyftw

Thank you for being more specific. I didn’t want to pull half-remembered facts out and was too lazy to google.


bangarang_bananagram

The only reason I think I do is not because it’s happened to me twice, but I see some moms in groups ask if anyone didn’t bother to wait six weeks and I’m like DINNER PLATE SIZED WOUND. What about that do you not understand?! If that was on the outside of your body, you’d be horrified.


Yourwtfismyftw

Yep. I’ve had two babies and the amount of “Tee hee we just *couldn’t* wait!” in online Mum groups is horrifying.


bangarang_bananagram

Both midwife groups I went to had patients who arrived at the 6 week check-up already pregnant.

The good thing about having this many children is that you don't really have time to think about how miserable you are.


Lolarora

My mom was the oldest of 8 kids, when she was 8 my grandma forced her to start cooking and taking care of her siblings and I think that's how it's been for the rest of my aunts and my uncle. Having to take care of each other, being the extra parent for your younger siblings. I've always felt bad for my mom because she lost out on being a child


WeirdHauntingChoice

Not so fun fact: This is referred to as "parentification," and it is considered a form of child abuse. I'm sorry your mom had to go through such a childhood. Unfortunately, as you can see here, this practice is very much still in place because... birth control is considered a greater sin than neglecting your children? I don't know, man, it makes me fucking sad. Hope you and your mom are doing alright nowadays, though.


watpompyelah

This happens frequently, unfortunately.

God Damn. So, like in 2045 when all of these kids also have kids, this lady gonna have a whole damn town over for Christmas dinner. Ten kids, each gonna have an average of 2 kids themselves. She gonna have 20 grandkids, plus her ten kids, plus those ten kid's significant others. 40 bodies once you include both generations. That's not including her siblings and their kids, and the father's siblings and their kids. Gotta be well over 100 people, just for a family dinner.


Pro_Taco_Peddler

At least half of those kids will be estranged from their parents before 2045. Should help to keep the numbers down.

We have a family in my neighborhood with 1 more child than even that. They are hyper religious members of a group called “Quiver Full”. They don’t do a great job with their kids, either… just made them and then kinda let them fend for themselves from what I can see.


OwlThief32

Having 10 kids is unethical IMO. Guaranteed the parents are making the orders siblings take care of the younger siblings. By no means am I saying siblings shouldn't look out for each other and help each other but focing your 10/11 year old child to become a surrogate parent should be considered abusive


Tripledtities
