[@jaimefernandez6335]

I never thought I would say this, but I think Arie was the best Bachelor of all time. He turned out to be such an amazing man.

[@jbb8261]

He and Sean Lowe are my new favorites. Everyone else has been a hot mess.

[@marcikaplan7381]

I agree, love them, favorite couple

[@made_in_germany]

I so agree and was just here thinking about that. What an awesome couple, family, children. Best choice for you Arie. You did amazing and I agreed with you all the way. You two fit like a hand and glove. Amazing!

[@jennifer8535]

Or.. maybe he was all along, but all the people behind the camera made him out to be what they wanted you to see… 😒 because, well, that’s more entertaining supposedly. I’ve always loved these two as a couple for the record ❤️

[@annetnabuyondo7607]

@@jbb8261 did you know him and Sean are close, actually Sean recommended him if I correctly recall

[@jessgorda111]

I can’t believe anyone would actually ask about Lauren loving one child more than the other. Hopefully, they stop that. All kids are loved the same and even making a kid think contrary to that is so toxic. Lauren and Arie are so sweet to their children, I love this video.

[@ocgal80]

Loving one child more than the other, absolutely not.. Favoring one over the other--yeah, that's a real thing..

[@semperxian]

It used to not be a shameful thing and in the UK still fairly common to call one the favorite. Parents dont admit it but children know who it is. Usually 1st born

[@nofear6435]

They're the same people who dislike this video lol.. Lauren and Arie are amazing parents and their children are so blessed to have them. :)

[@lindakaszynski1993]

@@semperxian Well that is a lot of cr*p, I'm a mum in Scotland and love all 3 of my children equally. Don't know what part of the UK you're in but it is certainly not common in Scotland.

[@sofialarson2791]

Yea, doest like that... Thats a horrible question. Both of you are so graet parents💞 Its so easy to see you love all of your children.

[@taraA1976]

This may sound mad creepy but I adore Lauren and find her to be so beautiful on the outside and inside as well. I love watching her on this site as she’s just so precious!

[@ricknelson4721]

She seems like a genuine person. We really feel these two belong together. Their relationship appears to be solid.

[@thelmawall-butler6663]

Lauren and Arie - you guys are the best: raising twins in the newborn phase is not easy but you guys are such great parents. I truly adore your attitude especially how you work as a loving team. Arie, your humor and laughs are wonderful; and Lauren, the fact that you have maintained your beautiful smile through your recent illness & hospitalization is so awesome. Absolutely LOVE you; I pray God keeps both of you and your beautiful little family of three gorgeous children healthy, happy & safe! So now I look forward to seeing you in your Hawaii posting soon!!!!

[@salliea8075]

@@carver877 Arie doesn't have to account to you for anything, he pays taxes just like you, probably more than you. He didn't prevent you or anyone you know from getting one of those loans, there probably wasn't enough funding released at first and he would not have been aware of that. Even if the loan was not used that money probably would have been returned and probably allocated to another funding, such as that which was sent to the states and local governments to help with housing, the education systems, food programs, transportation, etc. And if he has to pay it back he has means to do so, That's what's wrong with the world today, Everybody in everybody else's business. Stop indulging yourself in other people's business. So rude!

[@salliea8075]

@@carver877 My heart goes out to everybody who became homeless during the pandemic, unfortunately some businesses had to close at the onset of the pandemic before ppl loans were approved in the stimulus package, and distributed. My hope is that everyone can be restored back into housing and employment through funding that has been approved.

[@katherinemaycher6627]

I love what Lauren said about life being a series of phases. This is so true. When I had my baby earlier this year I really mourned my kid free freedom and still do at times. But now I wouldn't go back.

[@robynschneider5019]

Lauren and Arie have a lot of wisdom. I love how they talked about phases. It wasn’t how they missed going here or there when they wanted, Lauren mentioned different phases and contentment. Very wise woman and Arie is as well.

[@maryvblair]

I like how chill you guys seem to be about parenting. Not like you’re hands-off, but you seem to not sweat the small things, which is so great! Three kids under three is insane (my grandparents did it, they had an 18 month old and newborn identical twins 😬) and I feel like you have to be chill about the little things or you’ll lose your mind!

[@dawndanelle3488]

Still watching but just have to say I LOVE YOU AS PARENTS... you were always just the best couple/ partners and watching you grow as parents and just how you compliment one another so well! You are beautiful people and the love you share for one another is truly amazing and refreshing to watch! Xo

[@katharinawiebe762]

The tiredness in yall's eyes doesn't go unnoticed, being twin parents myself, i feel you 100%. ill be praying for yall.

[@G-grandma_Army]

mastitis is awful. I had it over 40 years ago and I’ll never forget it! Lux has grown so much! Blessings to your fam!

[@iennavienna5161]

Knowing how you guys started and seeing you guys now, I get a little teary eyed! Despite how tired you may feel, the pride and happiness for the life you've built and the family you have right now is palpable! I love how honest you are about how messy your life can be, and that you guys are figuring things out along the way. You guys just vibe and you show us how important it is in having a friend in your partner and keeping things fun too! Whenever I see a video update, I click on it so fast. lol. You guys are awesome people, and amazing parents! Thank you for sharing your life with us! Good luck!

[@iamnotauser93ify]

I think the secret to recovering quickly is having such a great support system! Arie seems to be really involved and you guys have family around to help. A lot of women don’t have so much support or help which means they end up having to do a lot of the work themselves.

[@sherrybrewer5715]

Life has seasons and you’re doing great at enjoying each season and not “missing” the past ones. Keep that great attitude!!

[@amandafannon4934]

You guys are killing it at the twin parenting game 👏 Mom to 10 month old twin boys here and the newborn phase goes by soooo fast. Even though its a blur right now soak in every moment! The most important is the support you have for your spouse and that love for your kids ❤

[@singsiriiiriiriss]

Dear Arie and Lauren, Thank you for being so open, as a twin parent myself, I am highly entertained by your videos and insta pages. There is a feeling of community with you guys, as I feel I can sympathize you.. Mine are around 1 year older than yours, and man, those first weeks and months! But it does get easier, I promise! For us at around 4 months they slept through, and that is important to another dimension with twins, so it‘s good that you pacify, it helps! Also how do you both look so fresh like straight out of a spa and your house is spotless?? I’m in awe!!

[@jackiebenjamin8772]

So glad that Lauren is feeling much better. My grandmother use to say, the sacrifice of no sleep, not eating on time etc etc is only for a time, in the twinkle of an eye they will all be grown up.

[@lauraroth5776]

Triplet mama here; identical twin boys and a girl! They are eight now and I'm loving your videos as they bring back those memories from when mine were little babies. Do the things! Go on the trips! Integrate them into your life. You won't regret it. I'm so happy you're all going to Hawaii! I would LOVE to see a video showing your vehicle setup, carseats, strollers, etc. We had the valcobaby Zee Two with the joey seat attachment to stroll all three around. People were always so interested in our cool stroller! I'm a runner, and also had the Valco Tri Mode Duo X with joey seat attachment for running on the trails! We got the Diono carseats so we could fit them three across in any vehicle if needed.

[@petmykitty]

This is seriously the best looking couple ever. Wait scratch that... best looking FAMILY ever. My god you all glow

[@nicolesoni4749]

My twin girls are now in their mid 20s. I had a 6 year old and a 4 year old when my twins were born. Enjoy this time with your three children, because they grow up so fast. Twins are so precious. The five of you are lucky indeed.

[@theoneonlymichelle3.082]

I’m a twin mom with a older toddler. A life saver is to get Alessi a bubble machine and make her a big girl box filled with a lot of fun toys she only gets to play with when you feed the babies.

I had one of those terrible one vaginal/one Caesarean deliveries with my twin boys. The first delivery went fine, but Twin B's cord prolapsed and I had to have an emergency "crash" Caesarean for him. So, I had to be put to sleep not knowing if he would make it or not. I literally woke up in recovery asking if he was alive. So scary. They weighed 8-10 and 8-0 at 37 weeks! Big boys. Congrats on your beautiful babies(all 3 of them!)💜💙💜

Omg lol. My son was a grunter too. He is so precious. Lauren, I had mastitis with my second child and it was horrible. They told me to keep nursing while on the antibiotic but the pain from my breast was so horrible I said absolutely not. It gave me a fever, chills and my breast which was the right breast with it, felt like it was on fire and throbbed nonstop for 3 days until the medicine started working. My husband felt helpless and so bad for me because I was beyond miserable. I hear you, I would give birth 10 times before having that again. I’m so happy you got through it. I know your pain.
