12 years later and still watching these lovelies. 16 to 28....Crazy. From those crazy hilarious date night videos to family vlogs. Love it, and love to see them still going strong. Best wishes for y'all and your expanding fam, ladies. ( :
I have a baby via sperm donation because of male factor infertility. I grew up incredibly maternal, all I ever wanted was to a be a mom. I felt sure I would bond immediately with my son, but it took months to feel completely bonded with him. My husband felt an intense and immediate bond. It probably took until he was 10 months old for me to feel how I expected to feel when he was born. Just be gentle with yourself, let intention and expectation just be what they are. If breastfeeding doesnt work out or if you dont feel an immediate connection or ppd still blindsides you, thats okay. You can do it. You were made to do it. Good luck guys, seriously. Have so much fun
I was going to say exactly the same. I didn't feel the immediate bond I'd expected. I felt like I'd been run over by a bus! But we got there eventually and my son and I are so close now.
I've been watching you guys for over a decade now (from the age of 14 to 24)! You were the first queer role models I ever had. You gave me so much hope when I was first coming to terms with being gay (and you still do). This makes me so excited to be a mother some day 🥰 best of luck with the coming weeks! so excited to follow your journey as a family of four
I love how you looked into this completely in the perspective mothers. Pregnancy is such hard work and not many expecting mums are lucky to have their partners to understand them. BUT just a reminder, in the days when you get thoughts like "am I taking away this moment from her?", I hope you look into the child's perspective too. Remember that all they'll remember is both of their mums working together to love and care for them. They would never distinguish between the both of you.
I appreciate you guys for sharing your journey to having kids 🤍 I know it can’t be easy but it’s so nice to know that once we are ready to start this journey of our own my girl and I have a place to come that’s safe and fun. Have loved you guys for years and years ❤️🌈
Hey Rose and Rosie, Interesting talk ladies, keep up the good work! I have been seeing your video's since i was around 15 years old, now i'm 23. So interesting to see and hear from different people's experience with couple/family stuff over the years! Wish you the best with everything, lots of love to ya'll!! Greetings from The Nederlands😄❤🧡💛💚💙💜
That's what the majority of people feel. There are some people who need time to find that bond and the emotions. They don't feel that connection right away, and it's hard when everyone else talks about that instant click after birth. It can add to the depression or anxiety felt afterward.
I've been watching y'all since the beginning. back when I was "straight" but I would cry watching you two because it was a life I could never live. now I'm 31, openly lesbian, and I'm so happy to have you guys as a good example of a healthy lesbian relationship with open communication and the ability to change. thank you. congrats on your beautiful family! all my love!
it hits so much being the other mom. During the pregnancy of my wife I sometimes felt like I was pretending to be a mom but it was not my role to play because I could not carry children and of course I was not pregnant, it made me feel a bit remote to be honest, not that I didn’t love my twins but somehow I knew it wasn’t the same. Flash foward they love me and cling to me as much as to my wife and I’m a proud mama of twin girls!
I love you guys so much💜 I’ve been following you for over a decade and feel like I’ve changed as much as you guys have💜 wishing you well and praying for Rose to have a safe delivery!! Much love💜💜
It's so normal to not bond with your new baby immediately, and of course you also have the lively hormonal recalibration frenzy happening in the days after birth. Fun times! It took me a few months to start feeling real love for my son, by 6 months it was rock solid and by the time he was a year I was absolutely rabid with love for him. Even now he's a grumpy teenager I still have huge and fierce love for him. Sending you both huge well wishes and love for the upcoming birth. You've got this.
I *AM* a queer person sitting at home, and I *DO* want to know this 😂 I’m a lesbian and I also can’t carry a pregnancy because of medical issues, so I always appreciate hearing about the “other” mother and how they felt. I’ve always wanted kids and I know in my heart I’ll be a great parents and I’d love any child, but I’d be lying if I said doubt never crept in on dark days.
good luck rose!! ❤❤❤ i have complete confidence in y'all to take on whatever comes because your bond with each other is so beautiful and obvious, AND you've been such capable and loving parents to Ziggy already! ❤❤❤
I just want to thank you for discussing this my wife and I have one kid currently 15 months old and resonate with this as being the non carrying parent having those same fears its validating and empowering to hear thank you both for your vulnerability.
It is so helpful that you’re sharing your journey in parenting. Seeing your approach towards everything really teaches a lot. Sending lots of love and appreciation
Been watching your chanel for sl many years . Thanks so much for the video. My partner soon wants a child and i have the same fear of not bonding. So nice to know it's normal to be scared.
Been watching uses since I was 15 am now 21 your story is inspiring and I hope me and my partner can be as lucky as u too good luck Rose can’t wait to see your child be born and grow ❤❤
It’s been so amazing to watch your journey ❤️❤️ lots of love and positive vibes for you ladies 🥰 wishing Rose all the luck in the world and I’m sure it will be great,baby n2 nearly here 🥰
Very interesting and I do really appreciate the honesty. I see comments on other videos sometimes saying how it's strange that you guys say "my/your baby", "my biological child" etc, and I feel this is a good reminder that people do have a specific experience as the non-birthing partner and that it can be challenging to find that bond (at least immediately, and obviously that can also be true for the birthing mother). So thank you for sharing this and I hope people will stop saying it's "weird" that you seem to separate your experiences. It's a good reminder that you don't know what something is like for someone and it's always best to operate on the assumption that you don't know and that judgment is not constructive.
Consider some post birth psychological symptoms can be due to the sudden drop of the steroid estrogen. (Significant depression can occur with even with careful steroid withdrawal in folks taking oral steroids for other medical conditions) Normal estrogen levels are around the low hundreds , at time of labor can be around 10 thousand. It goes back to baseline within 3 days. Massive steroid withdrawal.
Been following for over a decade, you are the only couple/family I still sub to on youtube as I'm not interested in family content usually, but you're videos just hit different haha
🤍been following ur journey for the longest time!! thanks for talking about this and all the content over the years. I would have almost zero knowledge and no one to look up to re: having kids as a lesbian couple, if it weren't for you both!
I have ocd as well, with the intrusive thoughts with taboo theme a lot of the time. I say this from a warm place, please be aware about how your ocd can get so much worse after birth. I don’t want to scare you, just for you to notice that if you get a lot of thoughts with taboo theme, it’s scary but so normal. It will go away. I had to go to the psych ward for a couple of days, and got suicidal. But please know that it’s your ocd fucking with you. I wish I were more prepared, I will be next time 💚 you got this. Normal ocd thought and kids: What if I don’t love them? Do I regret this? Is this a mistake? What if I’m a ped*phile? What if I kill them? Etc. Get help, take medication, don’t wait ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I wanted my daughter so badly that I love her since moment one but when she was born the truth is that I didn't fall in love at first sight, but the love was there even if I didn't know her at all, she was a person that I never saw before, IDK if any of this make any sense. Anyways after my c-section I pass out in the OR and wake up hours later in the room with my little one there being watched by my brother.
thank you for this video! i haven't watched you (or anything else on youtube, really) for a while and just stumbled on this. my girlfriend and i are slowly starting to talk about kids and this is a big concern for me - if she gives birth, will i always feel a bit like the odd one out or not? so thanks for this, it really calmed me down a bit.
This is such an interesting video and very useful for new parents. I love you guys for helping out fellow lgbt-people. I actually relate to past-Rose. I'm very gay and I don’t really see myself with a child. It feels like this very straight experience to me. Who knows though? Maybe if the right woman comes along, I'll feel differently.
You having Flynn, Wilma the other dog I forgot his name sorry 😅. I have no doubt you will love baby Ziggy more. If you can love a pet how much more a human being 🎉❤
You are an inspiring couple. How much sweetness and joy comes from you. Please keep uploading videos more often to make us happy in faraway Israel which has been in an existential war for ten months. And there is no light at the end of the tunnel. The abductees die in captivity of the Hamas monsters and the world is silent and accuses only Israel of war crimes. No one really has any idea what we went through here on the seventh of October and how much we have suffered for decades from terrorism and anti-Semitism. When will the Messiah come and the world will become better??
PLEASE SOMEONE talk to me about better help. Why do therapists text clients as Rosie referenced? If you use better help i'd love to hear your experience with this, it doesn't seem very boundaried?
I tried better help once but it was far too expensive for the average person, I love Rose and Rosie but I don’t think they realise that most people can’t afford better help.
hey so they don't randomly text! you join and get matched with a therapist, then you pick which way you'd like to be communicated with (eg video chat, phone call or text). if you don't want to use the text part, you don't have to. keepin in mind i dont personally use/back them, too expensive

WOW what a fantastic comment!! Thank you for being on our journey with us ❤ we literally couldn't do it without you!! Here's to many more years! 🍻
right?? I was 14 when I started watching them, I'm literally almost 25, I feel sick for me and happy for them, lol.
yess! I'm from 18 to 28 now , but have been more on/off watcher than most I think. So happy for them
yeaaasssss !!! 12 and now im 23:)))
was thinking the same thing!
From Super Kiss to two kids, you guys are always great and thanks for including us in ur lives!

Hi Rose when your baby is placed on your chest you will feel the warmth the tears will flow and that bond will never be broken 😊

Your conversation is really making me realize how little men in hetero relationships usually care lol
Unfortunately I do think that is common 😢
You don't need luck, you've got this in the bag... Lots of loves ❤️
Best wishes for the C-section. Good luck with the period.
12 years together and stronger than ever.
