    I was actually just thinking while watching this episode that Abby is looking much happier and more settled than she has in probably the last year or so. It's really great to see

    Your baby just turned one, just as soon as he started to have some sort of independence you had another baby.
    once your guys new born is older and isn’t as dependent on you as a newborn is, both your boys grow, you’ll feel that again. Trust me. I am on #5. Once your life gets on a good schedule with your new baby you’ll get back into your groove, and have more of those moments. I promise it gets better.

    I truly had a hard time with the Santa thing also! What Abby said is exactly what I thought when raising my son! I didn't want to lie to my son... I think it sets our kids up for distrust in us! It's a sad thing! I would just tell them there is a Santa spirit in all of us, and we should all give to each other, and Santa sets that example...
    I also told my husband the big gifts will be from us, and Santa will be giving him the socks and underwear! I'm not giving the credit to Santa!

    Abby, pelvic floor physical therapy can help and doesn't have to be invasive. I went to one at a physical therapist in a clinic and she didn't even need to do a physical exam. She just showed me exercises and she did touch my crouch area, but it was over my clothes. It was just to feel the movement from the exercises. It can really help if you are suffering from incontinence. It can also prevent your uterus from prolapsing when you're older.

      This!! Also - physical therapists literally have doctorate degrees😂. So yes. They are technically doctors. But I think if she went to someone’s house I doubt it was a licensed PT. I don’t think people realize that just because someone claims to be a “pelvic floor specialist” it does NOT mean they know what they are doing or that they have the education and licensure to back it up.

    • @daniellehall318

      This. Spent too many years getting my doctorate to not say anything. I love treating pelvic floor especially pregnancy and postpartum. Don’t go somewhere sketchy expecting good medical care 🤷🏻‍♀️ also- you don’t have to pee on yourself for the rest of life just because you had babies
      Edit to say internal assessment is 100% up to the patients. I don’t push that on anyone that doesn’t feel comfortable and I never do it on day 1 so you don’t feel the pressure.

      ​​@@tashaax1993xanimalloverxthose are very normal feelings to have as a young couple or really any couple. His coping with a song and it about a big deal. Just bc someone misses the "old you" it's not a reason for divorce or to be mad at them or resent them. You poor kids that come from divorced parents have no understanding of commitment and the fact that life comes in seasons.

    • @Mickie1198

      Mom instincts and anxiety are different. The babies were with her parents and from how she’s spoken about her mom she trusts her 100% plus the parents and grandchildren are probably very used to each other. I feel like maybe she hasn’t traveled like this since having two kids to care for and had some separation anxiety as well as the babies. I think she needs to get out of the house more sans babies maybe that’ll help her regulate her worries

      Abby is a SAHM so she is dependent on her children. She will find a comfortable detachment when her boys are able to play with each other. Mothers who place their children in daycares as early as six weeks old don't have this dependency and connection with their children.

    I'm so happy you talked about the Santa topic! I have also really wondered about introducing Santa to my baby. I remember my parents having the Santa tradition, but always just keeping the spotlight on what the holiday actually means. Like yeah, Santa is there, but he's not the reason we celebrate Christmas. Then reminding us that Jesus was born and celebrating our faith is the largest part of Christmas. So, when we found out Santa wasn't real, it was like oh okay, that's fine at least we can still celebrate the fact that Jesus was born and we'll be able to see him again someday. 🥰

    My husband and I have been married for 21yrs and our kids are ages 20,18, and 16. The most beautiful part of marriage; is learning to love the new versions of each other as you go through life. I believe having children forever changes us, but other major life events do also. The death of a close loved one, loss of job, traumatic injury of a spouse or ourselves. It's okay though. It's meant to be that way. We find each other and fight for our partner through all of life's ups and downs. That is both beauty, pain, and triumph. It's the reason something deep inside us feels moved when we see an elderly couple still holding hands and loving each other. That is a lifetime of conscious perseverance speaking for itself. BTW I LOVE your podcast and it's the only one I watch every episode of. Thank you!

      I’ve had the same thing with my chronically single friends! Once my relationship got stable and committed for life, I quickly realized that I feel much better reconnecting with my other friends that are in long term relationships, engaged and married. It also reflected better on my relationship.

    I will say from experience the best ages to bring kids to Disney world are from 8-12. We went with kids from 4-12 and the 4 year old and the 5 year old was horrible. The 9, 10 and 12 year olds had a blast! Younger kids get grumpy and cannot handle it. It’s just too much for them.
    And Abby, sometimes you need to enjoy time with your hubby, y’all were in Disney world, your kids will cry and that’s okay, it’s also okay to be worried especially since they are so young. Having your mom there is amazing and helpful and she raised you and you turned out amazing! 😊
    Being a good mom is awesome but being a good wife is also important, y’all have to be a team to do this.
    Matt, your kids are so young, the couple time will be limited and your wife will be worried. I love that you said maybe we can try night time together. You will find ways to manage that you just have to figure out what works. Life is going to be so different forever now with children but it doesn’t mean it’s in a bad way just a different way. You will make amazing memories with your family and you will enjoy the quality time with your wife more because you won’t get as much of it.
    You both are doing great. Couples fight and argue and have rough times, the important part is that you work through it and don’t give up. My husband and I work together, we run a business and we are together 24/7 lol. It gets hard, we actually argue more at work than at home 😂 I think that’s because our jobs are super stressful but we make it work and I’m so blessed I get to be around him all the time even though he drives me nuts sometimes, I’m sure I drive him nuts too! Please don’t shy away from showing your real life with real problems because this world is too full of fakes and the perfect picture. The real perfect picture family is the ones with hardships. ❤

    About Christmas, I just wanted to add my perspective as we are raising our daughter (who is almost 3) that the magic of Christmas comes from the memories you make with the people who love you, and those who you love. We don't go overboard with Santa bringing food/water to all the poor kids, but simply that Christmas is what you make it. Santa visits if she wants him to visit, and we don't make it too elaborate so we don't have that "earth shattering" heartbreak when the reality hits.

  • @isabelgomezrangel1548
    @isabelgomezrangel1548 10 місяців тому +13

    Matt, I urge you to read about matrescence and pospartum. Emotional and hormonal Pospartum lasts between 1 or 2 years. The best thing you can do for your baby and your wife is understanding that it is still very soon, that her brain is now designed to pay full attention to the baby. This is jus biologically that way. Happens to every mother and you shouldn't try to change it. It is not her the one who needs to make an effort to pay more attention to you. It is you the one who should mature, accept that this is how things work, and accept that for a period of time you will not be the center of her world and attention. Pospartum season is not about you, you are the one who should protect the mum and baby bond. Also, your wife is actually an exception because she is actually more able to leave her kids more than most women. IT IS STILL VERY SOON. Stop putting pressure

I had my second and went to work out at 6 weeks hit it to hard and actually caused a anal fissure it was 2 months of hell :( Going number 2 was shards of glass and crying each time to the point I trained my body once a day and went on a special diet. I ended up having to have surgery after all other aspects (medicine, hot baths, creams etc) did not heal it. The surgery was a saving grace my 2nd child is now 11 years old and have 2 more kids and have had no other issues but that area is so sensitive. FEEL FOR YOU!

    @isabelgomezrangel1548 10 місяців тому +16

    Abby, pospartum instincts are part of nature and are not something you need to fight back, you don't HAVE TO disconnect from your babies if your body and brain are not ready yet. Yes, you are a wife, a friend and all that, but you shouldn't feel the pressure to be there for them during pospartum. They should have the maturity to INFORM themselves about how the pospartum brain works and understand that during this period They should take out any expectations off you and actually be the ones who adjust to you. Also, the comments Matt makes sounding worried about you never being the same again... You will never be the same again. You have gone through the matrescence. You are a mother now forever. Your brain has physiologically changed forever. No, you will never be that child you were when you got married. Women grow and change when they become mothers forever, that's beautiful you shouldn't feel the pressure to go against nature and go back. Your husband has to learn to accept and embrace your pospartum version

    My Grampa always told my mom and her sisters that Santa was a game that adults play with children like an imaginary game that kids play all the time. He said adults love to bring the spirit of Christmas to children through Saint Nicholas. He said Santa is only as real as we make him, and whenever they questioned if Santa was real he would say that Santa isn’t a person, he’s a personification of Christmas cheer ❤️ Hope that helps!

      I told him that Santa brings toys to kids who don't have any, so we left toys by the door for Santa to pick up and take to other kids.

    You guys are overthinking the whole Santa thing way too much. Lol
    My whole entire life I grew up knowing that Santa was not real. From a little kids perspective, I was never sad about it because our parents taught us that we have everything because of Jesus Christ. He is the one who gives us work, finances to buy food on our tables and the presents under the tree.
    We were taught that Christmas was all about Jesus being born, family, love, joy and not some fat old man delivering presents😂

    just to add another little aspect to the Christmas conversation, I'd like to add the perspective of someone who never believed in Santa. For me, Christmas was still so magical and wonderful, and I could enjoy the Santa movies and everything with the same Christmas spirit even tho I knew he wasn't real, so that's just a thought 😊 my family had our traditions, like reading the passage about Jesus' birth every Christmas Eve, and looking at lights... there's plenty of ways to add Christmas magic without Santa, but again, these are just my thoughts based on my own perspective and experience 😊

It was the best time of the year that even now as an adult I still absolutely love christmas more than any other time of the year. Even though it was tough to learn that my parents were behind the whole thing, i still feel so grateful that they did all of that for me and my siblings and now i cant wait to do it with my kids and see the happiness and excitement in their little eyes in the morning when they find all of Santa’s presents.

    I'm 41 and have never been to Disneyland and my kids probably won't get to either until they are adults. Even though I work 2 jobs as a single parent it doesn't look promising ever getting to go. The money I make is just enough to put a roof over our heads, a car to drive and food on the table! But congrats to those that have experienced Disneyland!
    Edited bcuz yall guys are totally awesome, funny and sooo honest I'm the same way and I love that about you both💜

    We never lied to our 3 children. We taught them to never ruin it for other kids. Think about it why does the kids who are from richer parents get a cool gift from santa and the child who is poor got food? I love the idea of santa but its not for our house.

    It seems pretty obvious that Matt has some type of resentment against you LO. L and he was definitely like overly mad at your parents about that.
    And also him talking about him needing attention. How old is your little baby? Like not even 6 months old? That baby is still attached to you. You're still breastfeeding. Of course, that's all you can think about. ! I love your guys as podcast. But not as just seeming like a negative little girlittle girl right now.

    58:36 I have a feeling what I’m about to say is going to be very unpopular opinion but I also feel most people are going to say why they choose too. My husband and I decided before we had any kids we were not going to do Santa clause. This was a VERY UNPOPULAR decision to our family especially my father. We both believed as children so it had nothing to do with our family or even our faith.
    We now have six kids soon to be seven. We have been honest about Santa but we talk about how he is a character at Christmas. We also tell them that the name is used on presents that you don’t want anyone to know who gave the gift. Now my oldest chose to believe after a certain point he is seven now. We have been 100% honest with him but I told him if he wants to believe then that is fine.
    I personally go out of my way to be honest with my kids. It’s a painful process and when they ask a question I try to find an appropriate age way to answer it. I personally don’t like to be told something because the person is trying to be nice. I can’t stand with other adults will tell my kids white lies. My neighbor told my son we don’t get tornados in our state. Which isn’t true but what is true it’s less likely in the area we are currently living in. I had to tell him the truth which wasn’t easy. I know she didn’t want him to worry about tornados but for me if we did get one it would be more harmful for him in the long run.

    God gave us those ‘mom instincts’ for a reason, so don’t be ashamed. Don’t listen to the negative people. You are such a refreshing young couple to watch. You both are younger than my husband and I, but you are people we would love to be friends with if we lived near you. We love watching you both and seeing you both grow as a couple. God bless both of you! Keep up the great content!

    I did not grow up thinking Santa was real, and Christmas has always been the most magical time (total Christmas nerd here). I have four kids and they also have never believed in Santa. There are so many great traditions for Christmas we have never felt like we were missing out. Presents mean more when we know who to show gratitude to. They truly appreciate the story of Christ, and I can honestly tell my kids that I do not lie to them. Also, something to think about is the idea of Santa only giving gifts if you are nice and not naughty. Tying gifts to behavior is not something I like to do. My kids have been really good about not spoiling it for others. When my oldest was little, she did say something to one little girl. Since then I have just been intentional with prepping them.

That TRULY is such a blessing in marriage and the longer you’re together and stick through good times and bad only makes you both stronger and fall in love even MORE as the years fly by. ❤ I can remember having the thought on my wedding day that it would be impossible to love my husband more than I did on that day and 10 years later my heart just continues to inflate with more love. You two speak really well, I have a hard time finding words to express my thoughts 😂. Love your relationship. Thanks for sharing! 😊

  • @MeganH740
    @MeganH740 10 місяців тому +1

    Abby is EXACTLY right about the beauty and conflict resolution that’s part of a lasting, healthy marriage. As humans we are ever-changing and (hopefully) growing in positive ways. By the same token, we make mistakes and may even unintentionally hurt our spouse. There has to be communication, respect, love and forgiveness for a marriage to work. The beauty of it is that you literally get to live this crazy thing called life with the one person who you love deeply & know has your best interests at heart. You will not always be crazy about each other and marriage is a lot of work sometimes, but when you get on the other side of the hard moments it is always worth the work. As traditional vows state - for better or worse, richer or poorer, in sickness and in health. 1 Corinthians 13 ❤️

    We always said that we wouldn't lie if our kids asked outright about Santa, the Easter bunny, or the tooth fairy. Our son was very young when he asked if Santa was real so we explained that the way most people think about "santa" isn't real, but the story of st Nicholas (where it came from) is real. The fact that the story has changed and become more magical and false, doesn't make it bad or wrong to believe. We just make sure he lets other people believe in the magic and show kindness to others by not ruining the magic for them. We also put the focus back on why we get and give gifts and what we celebrate at Christmas rather than the santa narrative..works for us

    I know this is from a couple weeks ago. But, I am expecting my first child and have thought about the while Santa thing, and I recently saw something that really stuck with me. This family let their children believe in Santa and when their son came to them and asked if he was real they said "do you actually want to know the answer cause you can't unknow it" and the son of course said yes. So the parents said "well, the answer is yes and no. Is he a man in a red suit with a beard that sneaks down your chimney to give you presents, no. But he is the truly selfless act of giving without expecting any credit for that giving." They said "all those presents from Santa, they were from us, but we gave them to you without you know we got you them, without taking any credit for them. So no he isn't real in the human sense we think of, but he is real as a concept." I really liked that, because it teaches your kids a very good lesson on selfless acts and serving others without expecting anything in return.
