Colleen Ballinger #2

[gabrielawho]

Sorry if this was already brought up earlier, because I haven’t read this whole chain. But has anyone talked about Colleen and her insistence on not wanting her babies to wear gendered clothing all the time but yet almost every time we see the twins, they are clearly being gendered maisy is almost always in a “girly” color like pink and Wesley is contrasting in a “boyish” color like blue or green. And if they end up in the same outfits, she makes sure maisy is in a bow. Sometimes the bow is there even in an already girly outfit. This doesn’t bug me at all but Colleen acting like such a warrior for gender identity issues, yet clearly contributing to what she claimed to disagree with… it’s comical. I’ve yet to see Wesley in a pink get up with a bow on his head.

and to add on the breast milk topic. Completely agree it’s incredibly obvious that Colleen believes formula is NOT good for her babies. She’s basically been in complete panic attacks over her lack of milk supply. Now going to the lengths of getting someone else’s milk. Like no matter how many times you say it Colleen, we KNOW you aren’t a fan of formula feeing your babies.

Her babies were squeezed in those sleepsuits

I’ve stopped myself hate watching her vlogs so no idea if she’s explains how she gets the milk and I wholeheartedly couldn’t give less of a tit if you breast/pump/formula feed.

But I sure as hell would feel it be a lot safer to formula feed than give my children randomly sourced milk. I hope she’s sourcing it in an appropriate manner not just randoms off the internet!

I think she gets it from a family member.

Yeah, she said in a vlog that a family member has donated their breast milk.

 

[Kazzie20]

Would that be Jessica? does she breastfeed? idk

Jessica said recently that she doesn't make much milk. Which was a nice change to milky milky moaner.

She said in her recent vlog it was her cousins milk

 

[Kazzie20]

I just honestly don’t understand all this nonsense about breast is best. I think aslong as your kid is fed who actually knows or cares you wont be able to pick out kids in a playground of who was breastfed or formula.

 

[DeeSeni Noooo]

She's just projecting her issues and anxieties with food onto the babies, they are not even on solids yet ffs.

Is store bought food okay? or does that have to be donated too?

(hope u understand the sarcasm)

Long time lurker etc etc etc

Just watched her latest vlog. Let’s ignore the thread title being about top secret footage from that Netflix live show she once did being just two mega short clips at the very end. But half way through she cuts to a moan about how she’s aware of people saying she neglects Wesley over Maisy and how that isn’t the case (I agree with her on this one and find it difficult to read the posts that say she values her children in different ways). Anyway, having seen this, she must be aware of how shocking it was found when she dismissed Erik’s ‘daddy blues’.

I’ve put up with her for the last few years, yes she can be an interesting character at times, and she is very self-centred - but she vlogs for a living and that’s just the way it needs to be for her to create content - but I am so angry at how she just laughed at and dismissed Erik in that video and like many others was surprised at how her fans also pointed this out to her. I’m waiting for her to address it - to maybe compare how she acted to how she would react if people called her depression the ‘mummy blues’ like they were once referred to and recognise how hurtful that is. I hope they’ve spoken about it since and she’s been more understanding, or that he’s getting the support he needs from elsewhere. I don’t usually let stuff like this get to me, I can normally draw the line between my life and those of vloggers, but that….. male depression is not a joke, no depression is a joke, and for someone so ‘in tune’ with things like that to do that made my blood boil!

Anyway, rant over!

I want to put my two cents in but I have noticed that Wesley is bigger than Maisy, they was cramped in the womb but I was wondering if Colleen not going straight to the hospital by eating eggs, straighten and curled her hair could also not have helped.

Why do so many people have an issue with how the shape of the babies heads are let their heads be rectangle there's no developmental issue with that, they'll just look about square in the head and that's fine, not every person has to be aesthetically pleasing, looks aren't everything.

If anything have a bigger issue that they might turn out just as spoiled as Flynn is or as narcissistic as their mom

 

[Ziggzaggz]

They are babies they are cute!, You see the shape because they got no hair! I thought I had a norml shaped head, until I shaved it of for charity, I was mortified!!

I saw that bit where she gets defensive about not singing a song to both of them on camera. I don't really understand why she bothered addressing it, it must really get to her but what's important is she knows she doesn't "neglect" any of her kids. Doesn't she realise that most people would just say things like this to wind her up and get a reaction and she gave them what they wanted

I’m no expert here buuuut I think it’s called positional moulding, as babies skulls aren’t one whole piece until about 2 years of age, so they can develop flat spots from lying in the same position for a while, and I think NICU babies are laid on their sides so this could be why the sides of their heads look flatter making a ‘square’ look, it should resolve as they grow and develop as once they are sitting etc they won’t have so much pressure on one area if that all makes sense..

Anyone listen to this week's podcast episode?

The more and more Erik talks, the less I like him.
