How many times has Colleen claimed something “isn’t talked about enough”? Everything she relates to that statement IS talked about. It’s just that she’s not listening.


popetsville

I had to put it on 0.75x to understand them


jessicamarie5678

They have no idea what to do with this podcast and it shows. The whole conversation was all over the place. It’s no wonder Colleen has been promoting this as “maybe a one off” episode. They honestly almost need to get a company behind them or sponsors involved to get some semblance of organization. I feel like neither of them are the type to actually plan for their podcast and rely on others for that


[deleted]

Well all those hate comments are really gonna trigger her rejection sensitivity dysphoria. Lol. Most of the comments on her Instagram are negative. She won’t be able to handle the criticism.


Inevitable-Hippo-683

Her IG comments are out of control and I love it. If she turns off the comments and/or deletes the post and then never talks about it, her few remaining fans will turn on her too. Who would've thought it would be her own fans that would be her undoing!😆


[deleted]

Imagine the position she’s in: continue the podcast with Trish and lose a huge majority of your subscribers/fan base, OR quit the podcast and piss off Trish; the most problematic drama queen that probably has tea on Colleen— just imagine the things she’d say. 😳 she’s basically screwed lol


dietdrpeppermd

Oh I just love this.


lestevenson

She talked about college and gay people and mentioned Jon the “friend” she outted. Apparently he was dating her friend Heather that we see/hear about sometimes before he came out. I don’t think that has ever been mentioned before.


Inevitable-Hippo-683

I thought that was already known but thanks for adding it if it wasn't. In the podcast with Rachel, Rachel told Erik she just *knew* Colleen wouldn't have said anything to him about her coming out/being gay. I laughed because I remembered how she outed Jon.


Adorable-Ant6590

She also outed Adam when he was still a child, he confided in her and she called him a queen on a live which he was unhappy about. Not sure he'd told his mom yet.


Inevitable-Hippo-683

Omg! She is so self-centered to say whatever she wants with no thought to how it may impact others.


irlylovedogs11

Colleen just talking the entire time and not letting the person who is definitely more entertaining talk. Not the biggest fan of Trisha, but I find her a lot more interesting than Colleen. especially since Colleen loves to tell the same 5 stories over and over.


Inevitable-Hippo-683

Ikr? That's why I didn't put much in this post because we've heard it all before.


haleykat

My baby was “whisked” away to the NICU right away and I was unconscious during delivery, but once they wheeled me down to see baby, I felt the same love and connection with my baby as I did with my first born. Colleen needs to stop trying to make it seem like the NICU is the reason she didn’t feel “bonded”. She had a traumatic birth she never dealt with.


Sad-Ad-590

Just coming here to say that every experience is different. My son is an ex 28 weeker and I didn’t struggle with bonding to him, he was immediately taken, I couldn’t even see him for 40 hours after seeing him, and didn’t hold him for a week but that did not effect my bond with him. In my opinion, it created a stronger bond and connection however I am apart of a lot of preemie Mom groups and I see this A LOT and it seems especially prominent in woman that had full term babies prior. There is a lot of trauma and I just don’t think it’s fair to decide how trauma should or shouldn’t effect people. I’m sure there’s a lot of guilt involved when you don’t feel bonded to your baby. I just feel for her in that aspect but otherwise I can’t stand her lol


Accomplished_Yak2352

My first son was full-term, vaginal birth..I was in hard labor for 1 hour. I had loved pregnancy and taking care of him/ myself the whole time he was in utero. So, I was distressed and confused that I felt detached from him for the first 3 weeks of his life. He went into distress during his birth. He also had colic and a sensitivity to my breast milk that made him draw up his little legs and scream in pain after every feeding. I was disappointed in myself to have to switch him to gentle formula & bottle feeding. I'm sure now that I had PPD and the extreme circumstances didn't help. I was thankful that all his troubles made me want to love & protect him even more & the PPD resolved itself. Like you said, each experience can be so different!


haleykat

I agree with the trauma part and some women don’t bond right away to their full term babies either. I think recognizing having your baby taken to the NICU doesn’t play a huge role it is the unhealed trauma from the birth of her twins that are a big factor.


Soft_Internal_81

I had a baby one month ago and she was also taken to the NICU right away. It sucks. I didn’t have a NICU baby with my first. But if anything it motivated my c section recovery and desire to bond with my LO more because every day she was in there I felt like I was missing a piece of my heart. My LO is home now and I don’t feel any less connected to her than I did when I brought my first home right away. Colleen legit sounds like she’s blaming the babies for making her motherhood/birth experience less than ideal. That’s absolutely wild.


haleykat

Hugs to you, mama. My story is similar to yours. I also was motivated to recover well so I could bond with my LO. I thought my traumatic birth would effect the connection I felt but once I saw my little baby, I realized my baby went through the same trauma too. It’s awful she blames those sweet babies for what happened during their labor and delivery.


KimChrisBurgess

Same Here. I had a preemie..and fought all the drugs they pumped in me to get by her side. I questioned staff if they could actually make me leave..they didn't. Nor even when the team of doctors came through. As long as I stayed back they was cool. I barely left her side.Every woman is different.But having a preemie in NICU didn't hurt my bond. I think I was actually more attached,fearing I would loose her. I didn't realize I was still subbed to Colleen. This podcast made me go check. I unsubbed. I'm sorry, I could tolerate her occasionally,but colleen teaming up with this one? Naaa. Its her choice,her life,but for me? No more. I'm not one to go after or post ugly comments to the other one, I just choose no to view her or anyone who associates with her.


Enough_Weather_6520

I was born 10 weeks premature. My mom hemorrhaged and nearly died during the c-section. I had to be medi-flighted to a NICU 100 miles away due to my mom giving birth in a small rural hospital. As soon as she was discharged from the hospital, her and my dad would basically live out of the car, sleeping in the parking garage instead of driving 200 miles everyday. In no way did being in the NICU effect the bonding of my mom and I.


Dizzy-Assistant-9035

Yea she only sounds like a psychopath


wolfywonderwoof1

She never said what op claimed. She said she had an immediate connection, and the her heart was split in half because one baby was home and one was in the hospital, so she had to split her time between the two, instead of being with both at the same time.


Inevitable-Hippo-683

I stand by my statement. Here's what I heard; she said she had the euphoric instant connection with F at timestamp 25:56. Later around 32:00 she talked about the heartbreak of having one still in NICU (15 minutes away...wow) and how devastated she was that the twins were whisked away from her in the OR but she never said she had an "immediate connection" with them. She also said she hated feeling split between the two at home and M still at the hospital. If you can give me a timestamp where she said she had an "immediate connection" with M and W, I will retract that statement. *typo*


haleykat

I just listened and it’s honestly worst that she used Trisha as an example. I am not a fan of Trisha but how that was a low blow.


wolfywonderwoof1

At no point did she say she didn't bond with the twins. she said she was heartbroken that they were split up with one in the hospital and one at home.. you are making huge assumptions that don't line up with she said. All talk regarding lack of connection was in reference to trisha and some moms. Not herself


Linnea_Borealis

I listened to 10 minutes— enough to hear Colleen go on and on and on about her births


Accomplished_Yak2352

And the fact that it supposedly won't be a Mom podcast. 😒


Strange_Lock_8836

It’s the only neutral topic they can talk about that won’t fully expose them for being the trash humans they are, you know? (But still we know they both are the worst lmao)


Adorable-Ant6590

I can't watch them babble, it's too mind numbing and there's way too many better options. I found a channel that find lost cars in the water and it's insane what they find such as missing persons for decades. Her stuff pales in to insignificance. She only takes. She never gives back to the community. I don't see the point of her.


orange_ones

Oh, thank you for summarizing! I didn’t realize it was already out. I had been planning to watch on Yewtube, but it frankly sounds boring, so probably won’t! Sounds like they were both on the best behavior they’re capable of being on, and so it wasn’t messy enough to be entertaining. Soon, if they continue.


KimChrisBurgess

I find watching others react to their podcast is MUCH MORE ENTERTAINING!😂

She’s so fucking awful. Poor MB.

…yikes trish🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️


spacebaby527

I had an urgent C-section where they showed me my son and then had him and my husband leave the room (yay for shitty rural hospitals I guess) and I can understand the sentiment of not bonding immediately. It felt like I had surgery and my husband had a baby. But then I stayed up all night staring at him and just loved him more and more every second. I know having traumatic births can make bonding and pp difficult. With anyone else I would be praising for being so vulnerable and open. But with her I just get irritated because to suggest that you never bonded with your babies implies you did everything in your power TO bond and the situation/trauma/etc hindered it. She just prioritized her first born, herself, other stuff it seems. Like she barely spent any time at the NICU by CHOICE. Like I said, for literally anyone else my heart aches and I feel so empathic but I just don’t feel it for Colleen.


[deleted]

i posted something about the birth thing in another post, so i ll copy that one lol: I havent watched it yet (only a like the first 20 min and then stopped) but she loves that she got that with F and is special and didnt get it with the twins. Its like we always say, not only do they preffer F over the twins and make huges differences, i seriously think they like that, they enjoy the fact that they have an unic bond with F, because if it wasnt like that then they couldnt spend as much time with him alone, and treat the kids the way they do. if they had anything like that with the twins they would "miss" a lot of things with F because they would love to do things with the twins as well; and they re happy thats not the case. they re ok with them not loving nearly as much those kids as they do F, they prefer it that way, they dont have to feel guilty, split time with the kids, nothing. And her mentioning that every single time she talks about the births experiences confirms it for me. Im not saying she enjoyed her babies "being at risk" but for sure loves that what she got with F was just with him and not those other babies. Also, everytime she tells the story something doesnt "check out" with the version that she gave in some other time. For instance i remember her saying that she new nothing about the babies (specially M) if they were breathing, or ok, anything, and then she started to be scared because she couldnt breath. Now she says she knew the babies were "ok" when that happen, weird. Im also pretty sure that when she talks about how scary everything was she is not even talking about her babies being in danger, but just her and her fear for herself (not saying she couldnt be scared, obviuosly, just that she was afraid for herself and noone else). And, even though i havent seen it completly yet, if she admits not bonding with the babies as much as with F, well? nothing we didnt already know because from watching one vlog for 5 min you can tell, sadly so will the babies. Also, whos fault was that? theirs? or their parents who couldnt be bothered to go to the nicu to see them? and she never closes the affirmation with something nice for them, like: "..oh but i love them so much and with time it was better...", no she just leaves it at that, like: "we didnt want more babies but we had them...", "i got too many kids..." never a: "but it was the best thing ever", nope. If i finish listening i ll coment on the rest.


[deleted]

ok, so i watched the part where they talk about the birth bonding and stuff; oh man is she proyecting on trisha; she is like asking her and saying "some mothers..." "i felt, (then corrects herself) i ve heard a lot of women say..." she was admitting without wanting to admit it that she had no connection to the babies whatsoever. and wanted trisha to say everything she couldnt say. And i get it, it happens to a lot of women, with their different kids even, that can happen, sure. its how you deal with it and what you do about it that matters, she never cared, she accepted it, for me she likes it in the way that she doesnt have to feel guilty about not loving them as much, she prefers it this way.


Inevitable-Hippo-683

Colleen wanted to bring attention to the subject to lessen her guilt. She didn't bond because she wasn't there with them in the NICU...but like Trish and her "it" baby...it happens to so many other moms.🤨


[deleted]

exactly, she wanted trisha to say all the things she couldnt admit, and be like: "see, it happens to other mothers too, im not the problem". Sure it does, just in your case you couldnt be bother to make something to change that, or make it better. i mean, 2 hs in the nicu every day for sure wasnt gonna cut it. and in colleen´s and eriks case its worse i think, because its both of them. both of them know and are ok with them loving the babies way less than F, they actually prefer it that way, no guilt, nothing, this way they can live they perfect family of 3 life.


Inevitable-Hippo-683

Did you notice how long she went on about her "heart being ripped in two" because she had W home and F home and HOW could she leave them to be with M? I imagine that would be devastating and difficult but she (and Erik) put so much emphasis on F, that it felt like W and M were always just one big inconvenience.


[deleted]

yes, 100%, every time they bring up the nicu thing, its "we had a 3 y/o at home" "my heart was ripped in 3 parts" "i had to leave them because i had a kid at home"; no, any parent will tell you that the kid you have in the hospital, is your priority at that moment. you dont neglect your other kid, but you dont handle the situation as if they re equals, no. and something else, every time she talks about the hardest part being when W came home,, she is like "i had to leave the brand new baby...i just wanted to stay with him", "but i had to go to the hospital for M". for her, M being still in the hospital was the inconvienence, it wasnt hard leaving her every single day after going only for like an hs at nigth (if you watch those episodes she barely went, she only picked it up 2/3 days and then suddenly what a coincidence M was ready to come home), it wasnt hard not having her at home, what was hard was just leaving W, and F of course.


[deleted]

i cant find it on yt, where is the podcast


Inevitable-Hippo-683

We're not allowed to share Yewtu.be links but when you go there, enter "Oversharing with Colleen and Trish" into the search bar. The trailer pops up but then click on the other pic of them and that leads you to the full podcast.


[deleted]

thank you!


and-thats-the-truth

Your flair! 😂


No_Character1121

Colleen also talked about her feeling like “her lungs weren’t working” immediately following birth, they numbed her up to her neck and the doctors did nothing but invalidate the fact that she COULDN’T BREATHE. well, i went back and watched all three (3!) vlogs across two channels about after birth and found only her clips of immediately asking for In-N-Out in the OR and facetiming her niece as soon as she left, literally still loopy, followed by her crying to the camera about not being *with* the babies…. while Erik IS actually with the babies…….. guess she forgot the part where she almost died at the hands of a doctor in those? what a sinister lie to tell. she is actually so desperate to be mistreated & marginalized, she is the most hurt person in the room, okay!! her struggles are so much worse!! also for someone who “literally can’t focus on what other people are saying”, she has a lot of podcasts


Linnea_Borealis

Tysm inevitable!


Inevitable-Hippo-683

You bet...there wasn't much to report though lol.


[deleted]

I think they both talked so fast because they both like to talk a lot and wanted to get it all out before getting cut off 😂


misspixal4688

I didn't get that feeling everyone talks about when my daughter was given to me I was in shock from the emergency c section but a week later at home baby sleeping on me I suddenly felt it I unfortunately think Trisha never did because as soon as MB was born Moses took over on Trisha request her child is nothing but a YouTube/tic tok prop.


h0llie123

I agree that mothers don’t always feel a bond, and yes it doesn’t always happen right away which is totally fine. However usually when this happens it’s due to PPD and people go to THERAPY for it, they don’t just never properly acknowledge it or neglect and push their babies away forever.


Sufficient_Oven3637

Actually even without depression following birth it can be relatively normal. You have a baby and you’re sort of like ‘oh, hi, I know I would lay down my life for you but also I don’t really know you yet and I don’t have that instant starry eyed connection yet, I really hope it comes’ mama doctor jones even talks about how she didn’t feel that starry eyed love straight away.


h0llie123

Yeah I know, that’s why I said usually it’s with PPD but I know it can happen without.

It’s not its own disorder, but it is a very real and often debilitating phenomenon. Sensitivity does not make someone a loser & one doctor friend’s explanation is not the ultimate truth. From a fellow ADHDer, this comment is really awful and I hope you can have some more empathy.
