I had to keep a chart of my period and how often I bled, what was my pain level. I had to do that for six months. My doctor, who was so kind and compassionate, was so apologetic and kept telling me the damn insurance company makes women try other methods before they will pay for a hysterectomy. Finally, after other procedures failed, he sent them a letter informing them nothing to date has worked. Those 30 days of waiting for approval seemed so long! Just check with your insurance company.

But no, it's an hour long hassle just to leave the house with kids and dealing with rude customers that will cut me in line or won't let me cross the parking lot to get into the store. One child yanking things off of shelves while the other two beg me for every item they want to try that I forget most of my important items. By the time I'm done I'm covered in sweat and filled with anxiety lol. And some people think parenting isn't a job. I have a full time job and I come home to another full time job. My husband and I only have date night on our wedding anniversary and Valentine's Day/birthdays because we will make the hour drive four times a year on a relatives day off from work. Which means it may not actually be the day of our birthday or anniversary but the only day a family member was off from work. Yeah, our parents are in their 70s and still have jobs after they retired from their older jobs. Too expensive for anything these days especially daycare.

pakalolo August 22, 2017 Share August 22, 2017 Aubree wasn't really treating those tiny birds with much care, I was kind of surprised at the way she was shaking the baby chick at the camera since she has grown up with animals around the house her whole life. Chelsea obviously felt Aubree was being too rough as well since she had to discuss it with her multiple times. The way Aubree handled those birds reminded me exactly of the way Adumb treated that kitten in Chelsea's kitchen back in the day. It was also pretty obvious her antics killed one of the birds and Chelsea was just so horrified at the thought of her carefully cultivated image being tarnished she sweeps it under the rug instead.

If Aubree indeed had no idea how to properly handle the baby fowl then it was definitely poor parenting on Chelsea's part to leave Aubree alone with them.

I was the same with the little chicks. I handled them and squeezed them. I was around 6 years old. Like you, I didn't witness any serious mishandling of the ducklings. Nothing out of the ordinary.

That's what we're all choosing to believe happened? That makes no sense. It makes sense to me. The producers work with what they have and since Adumb is not on the show, Chelsea's life is not filled with drama like her counterparts. She is no longer a single parent like Leah. She is not a drug user who is bringing random dicks into her life. She is not abusive. She isn't putting fake PFAs on her ex. She has a pretty normal home life. She is not giving MTV anything that they are accustomed to - drama. MTV thought by breaking down the fourth wall they would create and stir more drama by poking and prodding. MTV likely felt the girls were not sharing enough or the drama needed to be heightened. Having a producer ask about handling a duck properly is all they had to bring up and by gosh, they were going to milk it. It sounded to me like Chelsea had discussed the issue with Cole when he arrived home and since nothing else had happened that day, that is all the producer had to work with. Kail tweeted a few weeks ago about production was stirring up something with Isaac somehow at the restaurant. I can't remember the details. Then, we have the producer prodding Leah for information about Ali's MS diagnosis when clearly Leah's mind is on getting to the ER, not standing around talking about her child's health problems. Maybe the producer couldn't hear the conversation correctly since Leah was on the phone. I don't know. Just guessing. 11 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/14538-except-chelsea-and-cole/page/28/#findComment-3574361

Grandma Saracen August 23, 2017 Share August 23, 2017 Aubree may have been having an Elmira moment, but I don't think it was anything shocking for her age. Cole asking the leading questions when he got in, with all that tension, was awkward. I don't really care that she shut the conversation down, but I guess I'm glad that she did, for Aubree. None of the kids on this show particularly love rehashing over-and-over. 8 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/14538-except-chelsea-and-cole/page/28/#findComment-3574825

Calm81 August 23, 2017 Share August 23, 2017 Too funny! You guys have me cracking up over the milking the duck misinterpretation. ? ? Loved the quote by Robert Deniro from "Meet the Parents" best movie ever. But I agree, they were really trying to milk that duck scene, weren't they? I'd love for my home life to be so boring to where production gets super excited over the drama of my pets - when your pets are more exciting than you life is going goooooood. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/14538-except-chelsea-and-cole/page/28/#findComment-3575087

ghoulina August 23, 2017 Share August 23, 2017 14 hours ago, BitterApple said: Aubree was a little rough but I don't think she was deliberately cruel or intending to do any of the animals harm. Chelsea seemed pissed because it obviously wasn't the first time she lectured her daughter on being gentle with the birds. After having finally seen the footage, I'm not sure why Mandy wanted Chelsea to rehash animal safety when she already went over it with Aubree five minutes earlier. I think Mandi probably wanted to talk about it again because COLE was home. There is sooo little going on in their lives, they're really grasping at straws. So they're like, "Oh, Cole's home. Let's tell him about Aubree being too rough with the chicks and getting in trouble". Which.....is normally what Chelsea would do, I'm sure. But she's been on this show long enough to know how they edit and twist things. They even do it unfairly to the girls I DON'T like. So I can see her wanting to be very careful about how this situation gets handled, lest MTV blow it up into something it was not. I don't see any evidence that Aubs seriously harmed or killed a chick. Knowing how emotional Chelsea can be, I think there would have been a bigger reaction, a more somber tone in the house. Plus, MTV was there! Would they not have got this footage? We saw Aubree bouncing a chick (probably mimicking the way she's seen people care for a baby HUMAN) and try to get one to fly (not nice, but not unheard of for a kid to try). Then the next day she's carrying the duck out of the pen and it's clearly making noises to show it's not happy. So Chelsea has had enough, Aubree isn't listening. So now she can't handle the animals without a grownup. They gave her a chance, and she blew it. Par for the course when raising kids. But nothing to raise your eyebrows over. 15 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/14538-except-chelsea-and-cole/page/28/#findComment-3575281
NannyBails August 23, 2017 Share August 23, 2017 I guess I'm still stuck on the "WHY DID THEY GET CHICKENS AND DUCKS WHEN THEY HAVE A NEWBORN" issue. I don't get people wanting to complicate their lives like that, though I guess maybe they got them so they'd have something to film other than Chelsea sitting on the couch with the baby? I also hope they have another place for all those chicks and ducks to live and that they only put them in that pen during the day. That pen is not critter-safe at all. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/14538-except-chelsea-and-cole/page/28/#findComment-3575357
Mkay August 23, 2017 Share August 23, 2017 Why wouldn't MTV air it if a chicken died? They aired Jenelle clearly high on Heroin with Keiffah. Ha They would have no shame in showing that she accidentally killed a chicken. I'm far from a Chelsea worshipper. I've even commented on how Aubree is too old to be throwing tantrums like she does. I've been around enough young kids to know that even if you tell them ten times, they still may roughly handle an animal and they will get in trouble. This is around the same time Chelsea tweeted about her PPD. 5 minutes ago, NannyBails said: I guess I'm still stuck on the "WHY DID THEY GET CHICKENS AND DUCKS WHEN THEY HAVE A NEWBORN" issue.

Cole built a big, nice chicken coupe. This looks like when they first got the animals home. Suddenly, Jenelle decided she needed one, too.

MissMel August 23, 2017 Share August 23, 2017 (edited) Aubree is also talking to the crew while Chelsea wasn't out there. I think that might have caused some confusion for her. There were adults around. I'm sure Mandi was one of them. If Mandi hangs out at their house without cameras, I would imagine it just slipped Chelsea mind and Aubree wouldn't notice that Mandi was working at moment. Aubree plays with the crew all the time. This is probably why Chelsea got so upset with grilling Cole as soon he walked in. She probably was focused on something with the baby and knew Aubree wasn't exactly unsupervised, but she forgot everyone was "at work". We've had similar discussions about Jenelle leaving the kids with the production crew. Jenelle acts like the crew members are babysitters instead of friends, though. Edited August 23, 2017 by MissMel OOPS! I thought I was in the show thread 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/14538-except-chelsea-and-cole/page/28/#findComment-3575417
