Catch up & why I won't be around as much here

[@amberhayes4660]

I totally get it! I'm an autism parent too and between the sleep deprivation, meltdowns, extra cuddles and extra parenting, it's just hard! I keep telling myself everything is in phases and the hard phase will pass soon, the night terrors won't be there tomorrow night etc. You're amazing, your kids are awesome and you will find yourself again (I tell myself this all the time)! Don't forget to try and have some me time every week and don't be so hard on yourself! X

[@140Lumdee]

Entirely Amber thank you. This is such a compassionate and thoughtful response. There is so much going on now and Edith lights up my world. I feel so lucky. I really do

[@simonerosalie1575]

Totally get what your feeling.. I am the same at the moment!! I hope you find your happy place soon xx

[@ameliasmart119]

I have that exact same feeling of running away and living off the land in the middle of nowhere as well! Things can get so hard sometimes. Do what’s best for you and your family, and also remember to be kind to yourself! You’re doing the best you can each moment of everyday and that’s enough! Take care and sending you the warmest thoughts!

[@140Lumdee]

Amelia Smart thank you. This is truly such a lovely comment. To feel like I’m not alone and supported at once. I hope you’re good. Life is as good as it can be and you get some greatness soon. X

[@lornadadds7082]

I love watching your videos of you and your lovely family. Feeling very similar to you. Everyday is a bit of an effort. My son has got a referral at school for learning problems - at the age of 8 the teachers have finally noticed the difference and are starting to take it seriously. He is also aware and asked his teacher what was actually good about him, which hurt my heart. Today she put a letter in his bag which he was thrilled about she has listed all the things she has seen he is brilliant at making people laugh, his big beaming smile, and his kindness to name but a few. Hoping he soon gets the help he needs. Sending love and hugs to your special family. Xxx

[@140Lumdee]

lorna dadds oh that letter sounds lovely but I’m not surprised it tugged on your heart when he said that. Sorry I stepped away for a bit and I didn’t mean to seem like I don’t care. I appreciate this so much. X

[@lorrainemulrooney]

Lots of love my friend. This funk that you’re in now will get better. Things always work out in the end, especially for good people like you, keep your chin up hun. It will come. I’m sorry you’re feeling so low. I’m with you on the pick up my family and run thing. I quite like the idea of becoming forest folk x

[@140Lumdee]

Lorraine Mulrooney it’s becoming more and more tempting this week. Every time I think I’ve found my feet, something else happens but it will get better I hope.

[@Mummaizzo]

I have those feeling alot Lisa! Sending love to you all xx

[@140Lumdee]

Mumma Izzo 😘

[@Lessthanforty]

Big hugs mama. There is so much sadness in your mind eyes, I’m sorry love. Do what you feel is right by your family. They were here before videos and they will be here long after as well.

[@140Lumdee]

Lessthanforty thank you lovely. I hope you’re ok? Sorry I’ve lost touch in so many places now. I know I need to be better but it’s like I can never quite donor all so I stopped trying so hard as it was exhausting and I still felt like a failure.

[@kerriekeenan9031]

You’re so down to earth! Found you from tik tok :)

[@beckywooldridge9853]

Your videos are brilliant and I never think that the timing watching them is wasted☺️

[@140Lumdee]

Becky Wooldridge I’m glad as id really bad if it was a waste. Lol

[@beckywooldridge9853]

Not at all, you're wonderful. Keep smiling x@@140Lumdee

[@lyndseywindsor6757]

Oh Lisa this was so sad to watch - sending you a hug and fingers crossed you feel a bit better soon x

[@140Lumdee]

Lyndsey Windsor thank you. It’ll get better I hope. Just need to breathe until it does.

[@juniperperrett6990]

I love your videos I think you are so incredibly strong. My three year old has some serious speech delay and the word autism has been thrown at me by doctors and nursery. I haven’t given begun the process yet as I think I’m scared of the answer and I think she’s perfect as she is. It’s just me and her and her little sister and I’m only 22 and working full time and your videos give me hope that everything is going to be okay. I really hope you do whats best for you because you are amazing.

[@140Lumdee]

Juniper Perrett when it comes to your daughter, it will be ok. What you will see, live, learn and Experian W with her is magical. It’s hard, don’t get me wrong but I cannot thank then universe enough for Edith. She is everything and without her, the experiences she brings, my world would be lesser. You have so much yet to come and most of it will be wonderful. And when it’s not, just know I understand and I’m here as much as I can be. X

[@alissaroberts8479]

I’m late to this but I love your videos and stay strong

[@8NAT3]

I would never think anything you posted was wasting my time.Ive followed you for years and loved watching your family and all you’ve done helping others become families! I totally get feeling the way you do and switching off from the world and just being with my little family...I hope your feeling much more yourself soon x

[@140Lumdee]

8NAT3 thank you lovely. You’re always such a lovely person. I hope you are good and life is kind. X

[@8NAT3]

Aww thank you ❤️

[@claireudell5110]

Lisa, I LOVE your videos as they are REAL. YOU are real and I can 100% relate to you. I feel exactly the same and just wish I could escape with my family and start again. Or just lock the door and keep the world out. I totally get it so never feel like you have to apologise for how you feel or for the content of your videos. Keep doing what you're doing as you're doing amazingly. KZbin will still be there when you feel like posting another video and if you don't, that's okay too. :-) Lots of love xx p.s. your hair colour and makeup is gorgeous!

[@140Lumdee]

As I’m with Channel mum I have to do 3 a month. Haha. So I’ll do that. I spoke to Edith about leaving and she’s begged me to stay. She loves that we do KZbin so for her sake I’ll keep at it for now. It’s just a bit exhausting.

[@ashleydgrills]

Your Guernsey video was great, my husband is from the isle of man so I suggested that one day while over visiting family we try to get to Guernsey, seems beautiful!

[@140Lumdee]

WhatIsUpMySleeve it really is. I love it there.

[@weasinanna]

I hear you. You're not alone. I kinda fell off the KZbin wagon over a year ago. It just got to the point that I wasn't happy doing videos so I took a time out. I love your videos and watching your little family. I've been following your channel for a million years - ok ok maybe not a million but forever.... anyway just wanted to say hi. I'm off to watch your Guernsey video now. Much love, Louise

[@140Lumdee]

weasinanna you are truly such a lovely soul. X

[@floryyoung5236]

Oh hun, I can tell something has knocked your spirits! Take time for you and your family, do what's good for you and what makes you happy and don't worry about the rest! Xxx

[@140Lumdee]

Flory Young trying! C

[@hannahrichards2098]

I love hearing about how your family are doing. I'm sure things will improve for you in time. Take care xx

[@140Lumdee]

Hannah Richards they will. I’m sure. They have to! Ha.

[@lorrainesewell7167]

Love watching your videos Lisa you are one of my favourite vloggers x

[@140Lumdee]

Lorraine Sewell you’re too lovely. Always. X

[@alicetheboys9726]

Out of everyone I follow you have always been the person I go to if I need a laugh and want a virtual hug. I know we don’t know each other and have briefly spoken a few months ago on channel mum but I think your great and from what I’ve seen your family and personality is stronger kinder nicer lovelyier (yes I know that not a word) but you get my drift and yes I just think your great x

[@140Lumdee]

Alice & the boys thank you. That truly means a lot. I struggled as I don’t want to be fake but I cannot just go saying whatever I want when it’s not just about me. Yet I don’t want to see like I’m being vague and annoying 😂

[@alicetheboys9726]

You sound so like me my most recent video! Take a look x

[@sophiewerner8239]

I love your video. I get that feeling just wanna take my family cut the world off hope u feel better soon xx

[@140Lumdee]

Sophie Werner it’s so very tempting.

[@debbiep99]

You're not alone. I want to go away with just my husband and be alone in nature.

[@tracy191186]

I don’t usually comment but just wanted to say I do watch and enjoy your videos! Really hope you feel better soon x

[@140Lumdee]

Tracy thank you. I really appreciate that. X

[@EquippingTheNextGeneration]

I definitely have felt like that before! And i have done it

[@140Lumdee]

CANDICE'S FIRST SURROGACY JOURNEY as in moved away? How was it? Coz I am beyond tempted...

[@EquippingTheNextGeneration]

@@140Lumdee I didn't move but I distanced myself from everyone and completely stop talking to all my friends...it was very refreshing to take that time and actually just work on myself and not worry about others.

[@sash.fraser]

You makeup and hair are so beautiful! I love your vlogs x

[@140Lumdee]

IVF Hopes thank you. X

[@lifeofasinglemom7972]

Maybe it’s a combination of the winter blues and the baby blues that your having. I’m having troubles also right now that I’d love to run away but I’m going through a miscarriage in my surrogate journey I’m at 8 weeks. I’m here for you girl.

[@140Lumdee]

Life of a Single Mom oh love. I am so so sorry. I hope you’re ok. I think it’s way too fast past to be baby blues. It’s very much situational but as it’s not just about me I don’t have the right or ability to talk about it. F that makes sense. I try and be respectful. If that makes sense.

[@emmaharding426]

Cyber hug to u ... believe me we all feel like u are now...i feel same ...this is why I love u cause u are so so relatable. Please don't leave youtube love your updates and all your vids...really enjoyed the cooking one George did as my oldest is just turned 16 so then I showed him that reciepe as I'm a super rubbish cook so more vids like that ...also shopping...food shop cause I'm always looking for new meal ideas with 4 kids 2 who are extremely fussy etc. U may not be a massive KZbinr but never think u are wasting your time I always watch your vids and learnt so much on surragacy too. You vids do have value ..i think problem is alot like me don't seem to get u in the news feed bit I have to remember to search your name so that's prob why alot aren't seeing. But I think you are supermum ...your amazing and so so real. Massive hug ...take time and hopefully see u back on here with your laughter back soon 💖💖

[@140Lumdee]

Emma Harding thank you. I am literally making note here! Haha. I will get my head out of my butt as Edith will not let me leave youtube. She gets really upset if I say I want to so I’ll keep on keeping on for her sake.

[@IrishRunningVlog]

Sorry to hear you’re going through a shitty patch, you seem so sad. We’ll all still be here if you decide to come back x

[@140Lumdee]

Edith won’t let me pack it in and leave CM so I’ll have to do my 3 videos a month so not quite gone yet. I just might make the kids do more. Mwahahahaa

[@catherinerobinson4012]

I loved your guernsey video! It was fab! Lots of love and hugs from a fellow autism mama! Xxx

[@140Lumdee]

Catherine Robinson and to you too! It’s hard at times and yes, Guernsey is gorgeous.

[@sharonjohnson5670]

Oh Lisa I'm sorry your feeling like this. Harry has been diagnosed with autistic tendencies,although it's nothing like your story. It's just little things,but we are having stress after stress at the moment and it's effecting my health as well. Oh I would love to live in the woods and be a recluse. Chin up and I hope things get better for you xx

[@140Lumdee]

Sharon Johnson and I hope things are better for you too soon. And I’m not sure anyone story is really the same but I know how hard it can be. I am here for you x

[@sharonjohnson5670]

Lisa Lum thank you,your a gem. Xx

[@Cerrie88]

Take time for you hun I get like this and I don’t do KZbin or social that much but for yes sometimes I just want to throw in the towel and run away I think it is normal as a mumma xx

[@140Lumdee]

cerrie 88 probably is. I’d love to just hide for a while.

[@tracyalland1643]

I totally get u I want to lock my doors with my family inside and stay there for a while. Like u is that because Alfie is having a difficult time so I am who knows? Hugs xx if u need to talk then i am here and got the tshirt xxx

[@140Lumdee]

Tracy Alland thank you so so very much. I hope you’re ok. X

[@mamatomoominandbear3463]

Your amazing Huni. I'm currently trying to build my channel
