OUR FAMILY OF 12 HAD THE STOMACH BUG

[@kerryquinn6218]

That first shower after you've been sick, it always feels amazing.

[@syniahthomas977]

Yessss 😩

[@CH-qb1ul]

Yesss! It's the only kind of shower that beats the 'Just-went-running'-shower.

[@bethelgrace4490]

This comment is underrated 😂😩😩

[@Skatejock21]

I always shower the first day I get sick. I've done some research on this and its because when we shower, we feel clean and therefore we feel better when we feel clean. I prefer to shower the first day, even when I dont feel good because I do feel worse when I dont feel clean. I want to have clean hair and know that I am clean.

[@marrr16]

Yes! Im sick Right now and I’m about to go take one to feel a little better

[@Superkellydoll]

I love the amount of time you spend helping the kids do personal hygiene and teaching them a routine, and Im not just talking about the typical brush teeth and baths. You help them moisturize their skin and keep their hair healthy and some kids have a longer routine for their personal hygiene and you don't just tell them to do it you make sure it gets done. I wish my mother spent the time teaching me about washing my face and lotion and all the extra stuff I had to learn and didn't well into my mid 20s. I am honored to be a subscriber to such a wonderful mom and family! God bless each one of you

As a bi-racial woman, I adore the interaction between the triplets! Even more, I love the fact that you took the time to learn, not only how to take care of, but how to optimize, the twins hair and skin. They are gorgeous! I have a sister, who is also biracial, who birthed multiple bi-racial children but still has no idea how to deal with their hair and it drives me nuts. I hope that as grown men, they understand that the “highly annoying 😜,” but relaxing, hair massage, and brush out, that Mommy gave them was something that was special for them not just Mom being “bug.” Lol. I wonder if Deshawn would enjoy that kind of special treatment? I’ve always found it easy to make girls feel special but hair care might be a lovely, easy, way make the boys feel nurtured.

If it’s the stomach flu, you can be contagious for up to 2 weeks. I learned this the hard way when visiting friends who had the stomach flu and we thought they were in the clear since they didn’t have symptoms for a few days before we saw them. Hope it’s not the stomach flu!
