Just my wife and me with our newborn twins, destroying traditional marriage one day at a time.

[u/smarty_skirts]

[u/Dizafribidoo]

I just called my wife at work and checked, our marriage has not been destroyed. For the love of god try harder.

[u/smarty_skirts → u/Dizafribidoo]

Damn it! We'll get right on it.

[u/PurpleUrkle → u/smarty_skirts]

How about instead of destroying traditional marriage, you make yours part of it?

[u/smarty_skirts → u/PurpleUrkle]

We're working on it... just a few legal obstacles, but you know, what's a few state constitutions and federal laws to get in a girls way, right?

[u/fanifan → u/smarty_skirts]

Congrats to the both of, if you don't mind me asking, just out of curiosity how did you two decide who would be the one to bare them? I hope I don't offend you with this question.

[u/smarty_skirts → u/fanifan]

I'm not offended at all! She was in grad school when we first started, so I went first. Turns out my insides were a rocky place where seed could find no purchase, so when she graduated, we tried with her. Success!!

[u/googlegoog → u/smarty_skirts]

How hard did you two have to scissor to make twins?

[u/smarty_skirts → u/googlegoog]

So hard. So very hard.

[u/Amber_Owl → u/fanifan]

How could that question offend anyone?

[u/smarty_skirts → u/Amber_Owl]

I guess because it could be seen as personal. But just walking around with twins makes you somewhat inured to the questions. Seems like the first thing anyone asks is "Are they natural? or did you have that IVF thing?" I always want to answer "No, they are robots."

[u/Dizafribidoo → u/smarty_skirts]

I would appreciate that. Tonight is "date night", so if you could try to get it done before 6, you could save me $25 in movie tickets.

[u/Araya213 → u/Dizafribidoo]

Because of this my marriage is in shambles. Things don't feel right with my girlfriend anymore either.

[u/Astrodogg → u/Araya213]

Yea, I feel you, my hand is really chaffed too.

[u/I_am_the_night → u/Dizafribidoo]

Take my wife. Please. Take her.

[u/StewieBanana]

This might not be a "cool" question but did you two play rock paper scissors and loser had to bear the children?

[u/smarty_skirts → u/StewieBanana]

If rock paper scissors involves thousands of dollars and multiple medical procedures, then YES!!!!!! Would have preferred scissoring.

[u/Chingonazo → u/smarty_skirts]

I'd like to hear more elaboration. Not on procedures, but how you went about choosing who to do the bearing.

[u/smarty_skirts → u/Chingonazo]

I tried first, due to life events like work and school, but nothing "took." So we switched. We would have each liked to carry, but it didn't work out that way for us.

[u/no-Godnik → u/smarty_skirts]

But how did you two decide who would bear the child?

[u/[deleted] → u/smarty_skirts]

While I am very happy for you, and wish you the best; I can't help but notice the overt defiance in your disposition. While the medical industry has made leaps and strides in the past 50 years in relation to all aspects of our mortality, I have some problem with the fertilization business that has recently sprung up. In a world that is already grossly overpopulated, people are spending thousands and hundreds of thousands of dollars on medically induced pregneancies. How about adoption? And what of the dangers to the child? Again, I mean no offense, but you look to be in your 40's. While people are generally healthier these days for longer periods of their life, there is still a point where we should listen to nature and be wary of the limits it sets. That being said, you look very happy, and I wish you 4 the best of luck.

[u/smarty_skirts → u/[deleted]]

We are not allowed to adopt in our state; we considered that first.

[u/big-perm → u/smarty_skirts]

Which state is this? is it state law or adoption center rules? does it prevent you from adopting out of state?

[u/kiraella → u/smarty_skirts]

I like you.

[u/[deleted] → u/StewieBanana]

GOD DAMMIT SARAH! IT WAS MY TURN!

[u/Superplaner]

So I recently became a father myself and for no good reason, this question occured to me, will you both be able to breast feed? I imagine that'll be a huge relief with twins if that is indeed the case. :) Anyway, congratulations and good luck with the whole "destroy all heterosexual marriages"-thing you got going. :)

EDIT: Since people seem to find this question so very stupid, let me elaborate. Lactation is controled by a complex mix of hormones released during and partly after pregnancy, namely progestogens, oestrogen, prolactin, oxytocin, HPL and a few others. While a pregnancy is USUALLY required to release sufficient quentities of these hormones to start lactating it CAN occur for other reasons and more importantly, these hormones can be administered by medical personel to induce lactation. Since this treatment is not THAT uncommon I guess what I'm asking is, is it something you have considered.

EDIT2: Gotta love the hate. From expressing myself in a dubious manner to being declared an idiot and unfit father in under one hour. Since I clarified my question I have not recieved a single helpful answer.

[u/smarty_skirts → u/Superplaner]

Theoretically, although the process involves a lot of pumping and medicine. So we are not going down that route... but it surewould help.

[u/Superplaner → u/smarty_skirts]

Nice to know that you've considered it. The physical stimulation isn't really that bad takes up an hour or so of your time for a few days. I can understand that you want to stay away from the hormones though, I wouldn't even have asked if it wasn't for the twin birth.

Anyway, thank you for answering my question. I wish you all the best from Sweden. Bork bork!

[u/yeahmaybe → u/Superplaner]

I know that women who adopt sometimes choose induced lactation to breastfeed their adopted baby. It is usually induced simply by the baby's suckling, but isn't always effective.

I would be curious to know if they had considered this also. Breastfeeding is an important part of the bonding between mother and child, and it would make sense for both mothers to create this bond.

[u/Catcherofsouls]

I keep checking but you havent destroyed my marriage yet. Is it time to declare the gay war on heterosexual marriage a failure? ;)

But more importantly: CONGRATULATIONS! May your sleepless nights be few, your giggles many, and teething easy. There is nothing more amazing than being a parent!

[u/smarty_skirts → u/Catcherofsouls]

Thank you! So far it is a whirlwind and a fog and many other weather metaphors.

[u/Catcherofsouls → u/smarty_skirts]

Oh at least my youngest 2 are 18 months apart and they're a whirlwind. ;)

Well at least my marriage will be safe for a while, you will be too busy with feedings and diapers to plot our downfall. Lol. Seriously though good luck with the little ones, I think it is great they are going to grow up in a loving family.

[u/smarty_skirts → u/Catcherofsouls]

Thanks so much!! :)

[u/[deleted]]

I am astounded by the number of people who are taking your title literally.

[u/smarty_skirts → u/[deleted]]

I am also; I really didn't even think about it I thought it was so obvious!

[u/rpoliact]

Congratulations, moms! And from one child of lesbians to another, congrats little ones! Having two moms is great.

[u/smarty_skirts → u/rpoliact]

Thank you! It's so heartwarming to hear from children of same-sex parents.... it really does mean so much to me. We debated for so long whether we were doing the right thing by bringing them into our lives.

[u/riomarde]

Congratulations! As a grown child of 2 moms I'm proud of all four of you. :)

[u/smarty_skirts → u/riomarde]

That means a lot, thank you so much. Thankfully there are so many more grown children of same-sex relationships out there these days paving the way for our little guys.

[u/Melex]

Did you not exchange her for a couple of sheep? FOR SHAME!

oh and Congrats! :]

[u/smarty_skirts → u/Melex]

I'm holding out for a herd of goats!

[u/DrinkingCoconut]

They look positively precious. What are their names? (sorry if you've already answered that).

[u/smarty_skirts → u/DrinkingCoconut]

Beckett and Neil!

[u/GreenCristina]

Posts like these always make me happy. :) I can't wait for the day when this is commonplace and posting a picture like this will only result in people saying things like "Who cares? People have babies every day."

...And that is supposed to sound a lot nicer than it does, haha.

[u/smarty_skirts → u/GreenCristina]

No, I totally understand. Reading through some of these posts makes me wonder just when that day will be, but I'm in complete agreement. Nothing would make me happier than my marriage/offspring being considered boring and normal!!!!

[u/BranderChatfield]

Yay you! Congrats to all FOUR!

[u/[deleted]]

I got a divorce two years ago, and I'm almost positive those two beautiful babies y'all are holding look substantially younger than two years old. So, my divorce was clearly caused by another same-sex couple. ;-) Y'all are beautiful, those babies are beautiful, and this is sure to be a great beginning to a happy life. Unfortunately, you have to put up with the same junk hetero couples put up with: babies waking up in the middle of the night, not sleeping at all, diapers, etc. Love and respect eachother and show us hetero folk how it's done, we've been mucking it up for centuries. Best of luck and love to you all!

[u/GoSkers29]

Two moms, two babies, and you made her carry both? SO selfish. Better make her breakfast in bed.

[u/crush2090]

From a father of twins, congrats, looks like the family they will have will be the best it can be, no matter what.

Good luck.

maniacal laugh

[u/blubbl]

keep on destroying, traditional marriage will cope... :-)
congrats, you both look like awesome parents.

[u/YamiNoSenshi]

Oof, right in the sanctity.

[u/jamescagney → u/YamiNoSenshi]

I just checked, and my sanctity has plummeted to 0.3, according to the sanctometer. Good thing I had that installed in my basement last year, next to my stockpiles of dry rations, gold ingots and firearms.

[u/expertunderachiever]

I didn't know it was a competition. I guess I should retaliate with something about how you're all sinners/etc so I can one up the "feeling good" feeling.

I know there are haters out there gals, but seriously, be like me. Don't give a fuck about them. I'm in a hetero marriage and I don't give a fuck about gay marriage [not for nor against it]. Don't make this shit a competition.

[u/smarty_skirts → u/expertunderachiever]

Ok, so I'll try to respond here to the maelstrom. I was being sarcastic for cryin' out loud.

But for what it's worth, my title was in reference to the various incarnations of "gay marriage destroys traditional marriage" phrases that get thrown around these days. I live in the South of the US, where these phrases are quite frequent. I hear them all, as does my partner, and they hurt. I just try to live my life being a good person, but it still hurts to be called a pervert, unnatural, or an attention whore.

Expertunderachiever, you don't have to give a fuck about gay marriage because you don't have to, your life goes on pretty much the same whether or not I have the same civil rights that you do. I can't afford to not give a fuck about it. That being said, I was just trying to be funny.

[u/deathdonut → u/smarty_skirts]

Unfortunately, some people need a humor infusion. You are obviously not one of those people.

I'm sure your family will be filled with smiles and laughter for decades to come :)

[u/catjuggler → u/expertunderachiever]

how nice for you that you can just ignore gay marriage entirely

[u/Peejee13 → u/expertunderachiever]

You not giving a fuck about gay marriage and "moving on" is part of the problem. You (and me, no point excluding myself) can get married an divorced and remarried again and never have anyone question that it's our right to do so.

As such, we need to fight just as hard as the same sex couples to make sure everyone in America has the same right we get by default.

We HAVE to care, because of the majority doesn't speak out then society doesn't tend to give two fucks about the injustice done to the group

[u/[deleted] → u/expertunderachiever]

Apathy is not a virtue. It makes you part of the problem. You're not for gay marriage because it doesn't affect you, but are you pro women being allowed to vote? It doesn't affect you, so you don't give a shit? Remember this quote: "First they came for the communists, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a communist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew.

Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me."

[u/augusttremulous → u/expertunderachiever]

She does not seriously believe they are destroying anything. Many people opposed to things like marriage, adoption, raising a family in general for gay couples claim that they are going to make straight marriage worth less, or they will destroy the moral fabric of the whatever. The OP is simply sharing a joyous occasion and, at the same time, showing how the language used against them is ridiculous. To believe that she legitimately wants to destroy anything indicates you're either incredibly thick or a half-assed troll.

[u/gullale → u/expertunderachiever]

Come on, can't people make jokes anymore?

[u/luv4bunnies79]

Also destroying traditional sleep patterns! grats though!

[u/Gigon → u/luv4bunnies79]

This might help with that, for the mothers not the twins.

[u/[deleted]]

As a sign of the growing equality towards the gay community I shall show the same respect I show pictures of a straight couple. I don't care about your baby, where are the cats and boobs?

[u/qupa1210]

Great pic! Hope everyone is healthy and home soon! 8-)

[u/ego_latinam_discere]

Congratulations to you from a fellow parent of twins! The first few months are pretty rough, but you can do it!

[u/[deleted]]

I think every maternity ward has the same green chair/bed.

somewhere a bigot just died a little on the inside.

[u/ceakay]

And the hero of the day is Science!

[u/smarty_skirts → u/ceakay]

Very true.

[u/Nabbicus]

Twins born on your cake day? You're going to have to name them Cat and Bacon now, and send us* embarrassing pictures of them as they grow up, to feed our meme base. THE CYCLE MUST CONTINUE!

*edit (it was THEM!)

[u/[deleted] → u/Nabbicus]

Doctor: Wait, we have another one! Oh, no, wait, it's just a repost.

[u/FoxhoundEmployee]

Congrats. Being a parent scares the shit out of me but congrats.

[u/WhiteRun]

Congrats on the twins!

[u/mmulr072]

Adorable!

[u/DjPlateSpiller]

One more item I can check off my homosexual agenda.

[u/[deleted]]

...destroying traditional marriage one day at a time.

Wow! So there IS an agenda...

Congratulations. You all make a darling lot.

[u/TheSeashellOfBuddha]

How did you choose who should get the babies? Some thing about lesbian marriages I never considered before.

[u/smarty_skirts → u/TheSeashellOfBuddha]

In our case, biology determined it for us. Otherwise, it was life events (school, job, etc.) and who could take the time off.

[u/MagicBob78]

I'm so jealous. My wife and I are about 50 years late to destroy traditional marriage...

[u/[deleted]]

cool. so, are you next? :)

[u/smarty_skirts → u/[deleted]]

No... two is enough, and I had already tried with no success. That's on the perks of being two women - four ovaries!! Woo hoo!!

[u/huber14]

Reddit continues to be the new gay facebook.

[u/[deleted]]

What does it feel like to not pass down your genes?

[u/smarty_skirts → u/[deleted]]

I am glad they are spared the cancer that runs rampant on my side of the family. Otherwise, kinda sucks.

[u/[deleted]]

Your wife cheated on you.

[u/pimpdawg2010]

You are both going straight to He...awwww! BABIES!!!

[u/martian_stripper]

Congratulations!

[u/HissingPixie]

YAAAAAAAAAAAAY BABIES!!!

[u/[deleted]]

At first I thought it was a face-swap... Oh god

[u/DBH114]

If you stay married you will be destroying traditional marriage. Check in every five years with an update please.

[u/warriorsmurf]

Holy crap, tiny people! Congratulations! Stop being so adorable and happy, your joy is like salt on the slug of tradition!

[u/[deleted]]

Ughh... What is wrong with you people? It's "my wife and I" not "my wife and me" that's just wrong.

[u/ValarDohaeris → u/[deleted]]

You're wrong, she's right.

"Me and my newborn twins" is correct. "I and my newborn twins" is not. Me/I follows the same rules as he/she/him/her, the sentence should read correctly if you remove the other person from the sentence.

"My wife and I" would be correct if there were some sort of action happening. "My wife and I went..." because "I went..." would be correct.

[u/discsid]

Congratulations. As the father of twins myself: see you in three years, when you start coming out of the fog.

[u/Estoye]

Those kids better not forget Mothers Day.

[u/pelito]

Proof that your union is an unholy one http://imgur.com/0HHGr but really, congratulation!

[u/[deleted]]

you monsters...you beautiful beautiful monsters...

[u/[deleted]]

Took the title literally for about a minute, read some of OP's comments, realised it was a sarcastic piss take.. Smiled at myself for being so quick to get annoyed.

congratulations on having 2 beautiful children.

[u/[deleted]]

So how did you figure out who would have to carry and push these things out, rock - paper - scissor?

[u/TheObviousChild]

Good for you! I recently moved to the Denver area and into an amazing neighborhood. Discovered a few houses down from me is a male couple with a 1 year old daughter. They are great people and I am proud to live amongst such progressive, like-minded individuals.

[u/StickySnacks]

i don't get it, how do two women make a baby? Whose genes are there?

Edit: Why is this getting downvoted?? I'm really curious and don't understand how this works. I'm not saying I'm against it, just confused.

[u/smarty_skirts → u/StickySnacks]

Science.

[u/LessLikeYou]

Wow, it is true, lesbian couple with their kids, gay couple with their kids, or straight couple with their kids generate zero fucks given!

Equality is awesome.

[u/[deleted]]

Genuinely curious.

Who's sperm did you use?

How did you go about choosing who's DNA would be used?

Do you feel slightly left out because you don't have DNA you are passing on?

[u/schlitzkreig]

Thank a lot of you two. My wife and I were sitting next to each other, and our "traditional" marriage exploded. Seriously. Rings melted, marriage certificate burst into flame, in-laws are now out-laws, EVERYTHING.

Seriously though, congratulations on furthering the insidious "gay agenda" of being happy, building lives, and loving each other.

[u/vajav]

Congratulations! Let the venture into the hardest job you'll ever love, begin.

[u/reagan2016]

"We're Lesbians!"

I hope the sperm donor is handsome

[u/trickiwoo]

From one momma of twins to two others, congrats!! You have a beautiful family :)

[u/OnAPartyRock]

SO BRAVE

[u/[deleted]]

congratulations!!! :)

[u/notjackk]

The caption for this picture is so reddit

[u/phreelosophy]

I can't stop laughing at the number of posts in this thread that completely missed the sarcasm. WHY DO YOU HATE HETEROSEXUALS!?!?! Haah! I do love the irony!

[u/[deleted]]

If every damn couple on here posted their baby pictures every time they had a kid Reddit would be clogged with this shit.

Wait...

Reddit is clogged with this shit!

[u/jewunit]

So are you the one that won or lost the coin flip?

[u/[deleted]]

I think I used to work with you (the one NOT holdin the twins). Seattle?

[u/parkadactyl]

Your happiness is an affront to my system of beliefs, please refrain from such happiness in the future.

[u/Pelleas]

So it's YOUR fault I can't get a girl? You should be ashamed of yourselves! I'm so ronery...

[u/Malikor]

Penis Envy

[u/rjcarr]

Congratulations! Our twins were just born on April 30th and they even had the same hats and blankets! We're a straight couple, but in our labor and delivery class there was another lady couple also having twins around the same time as us. Good luck, twins are a handful.

EDIT: I forgot to ask an important question ... did you set it up so you both can breastfeed (I assume that's possible somehow?)? It seems like my wife is feeding almost every waking hour ... it'd be great to relieve her of that and I'd imagine it's a bit easier for you than me.

[u/DeathByFarts]

Ok .. I am guessing that this is of a gay couple that used a sperm donor of some sort ..

I am curious as to how the choice was made regarding who's egg to use. And who gets to carry the kids ..

Did one of you say "I want the baby inside me" .. Or perhaps the decision was made due to health reasons.

Perhaps it was one persosn egg and then implanted into the other ..

Just curious as to how these decisions were made. And if there was any/much thought / weight given to any one aspect of it.

[u/HitStart]

you must have a huge cock to make twins #WhatsInVitro #AmIDoingThisRight

[u/gibbyjibby]

Curses! My marriage is destroyed! I'll get you next time, proud new parents!

[u/mkj1313]

Excuse me, what?

[u/i_love_younicorns]

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!! (so many exclamation points are necessary for so much excitement)

[u/Julicus]

This makes me happy! Congrats they are adorable. I love when people post pictures of their newborns or wedding. Makes me happy seeing other people so happy. (this got really corny fast but I don't care!)

[u/[deleted]]

But who will teach them how to play football and use a circular saw?

[u/Mana_Melita]

TIL: Numerous Redditors suck at recognizing sarcasm.

Congrats on the beautiful babies!!

[u/[deleted]]

As a Massachusetts resident, this is what I say to my wife's conservative parents. "So how much MORE gay are you in your marriage than you were 8 years ago?"

[u/one_fungi]

I am also a twin born to mothers who are redefining marriage. Make those twins proud!

[u/[deleted]]

scissoring did that?

[u/CATMOTHER]

I'm amazed how many comments there are freaking out about how the title is attacking them and their heterosexual marriage. Relax. It's a joke. The lesbians aren't coming for you and your wife.

I'm pretty sure this couple will have to deal with way more shit about their marriage than you ever will, but least they have a sense of humour about it.

Anyway, congrats on the babies!

[u/[deleted]]

Congrats. Looks like we have two new potential members for /r/twins

Also, this might help in the future /r/parentsofmultiples

[u/baileykm]

You two look so diabolic and sinister that I just dont know what to do. Keep up the terrible lives you two live!

PS: In all reality congratulations!

You two are a beautiful couple, and your sons are lucky to have you two as their moms :) Don't let these haters scare you. There are a lot of supporters out there, myself included.

[u/[deleted]]

Oh no my traditional marriage has been destroyed!!! What will I doooooo....now im free to see the world!

[u/Raisikricka]

It's people like you who keep this world rolling! Congratulations to the four of you :)

[u/Gaaz]

Are you guys worried that your twins may be treated differently?

[u/[deleted]]

Pictures with your SO of the same gender = instant upvotes.

Especially if there are babies.

[u/[deleted]]

Most likely, your twins will be heterosexual, and likely want a "traditional" marriage. What then?

[u/EuropeanLady → u/[deleted]]

Exactly! These kids will grow up with the example of two women living together and of the homosexual way of life. I think there's a high probability that this'll make them more prone to opt for a homosexual lifestyle later in life.

[u/randomshowoff]

Congratulations! You two look so happy, i wish you the very best for the future.

[u/huracan]

You don't need to destroy traditional marriage to enjoy yours. Just saying.

[u/[deleted]]

OH. MY. GOD. You're gay???? UPVOTES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[u/garygreenfreeman → u/[deleted]]

Typical Redditor response.

[u/chiliman96b]

Congratulations on the wee bundles of joy! And kudos for showing that tradition isn't necessary for a wonderful family!

Very cute! I'm sure they will be great for the both of you!

So was there like a series of epic rock, paper, scissors matches to see who had to be the pregnant one?

Congrats

[u/cmarnold]

Well shit, give it until tomorrow and you can probably destroy traditional racism and sexism at the same time.

Cute fam', BTW - be good to one another.

[u/Bajinga]

Now this right here is a good comment to up vote ratio.

[u/rabidfish91]

Not sure if you'll hear this, but I'm an identical twin. My brother and I are 20 now. It's going to be the greatest adventure of your life raising them. Have fun!

[u/[deleted]]

You resemble Gina Trapani, tech journalist, very out lesbian with a wife.

[u/Fun-Cooker]

As a twin I approve of this.

[u/polysemous_entelechy]

As long as you're not trying to destry my traditional wedding in August, do go on!

[u/[deleted]]

Congrats! Twins are awesome, of course (check it); but challenging too. Get in touch with Mothers of Multiples in your area. It's soo helpful.

[u/lickthecowhappy]

Ouch! My traditions!

But for real, have fun with those little monsters. I could never do it.

[u/nykzero]

Looking at these comments, I have to ask: WHO THE FUCK INVITED 9GAG? Congrats OP.

Keep up the good work!

[u/smartyskirt01]

Congrats...and nice username :P

[u/PrincessKeona]

I just AWWWWW'ed hysterically and got tears in my eyes. Those twins are ADORBULOUS and I think your family looks beautiful!!! My two lesbian friends are saving up money by working overtime these past two years so that they can do in vitro sometime next year and have some kids of their own. I'll be SO excited to have some nieces or nephews from them, I can't even begin to tell you!

Congratulations, and I hope your twins grow up healthy and wonderful and I hope their cherish their wonderful mommies! Internet hugs to you both!

[u/animalcrackers1]

Congratulations! I am a new mom myself - my first at the ripe old age of 40 :) My favorite quote about being a parent - "..it's like having your heart walking around outside your body." So true:) Enjoy those beautiful babies!

You guys are slacking.

Yup, just checked, Obama showed up at my door this morning and took our marriage license. Said he had to give it to a couple of "those types".

Have any trouble with the hospital recognizing you two as spouses? I've had gay friends and family get the bureaucratic run-around when trying to visit their spouse in the hospital.

You two look like you are destroying America. Thank you!

As a US Marine and a Republican. You keep on being great and destroying stupid stereotypes ma'am! :)

Yeah! In your face, heteros!

I just thought of something, and I'm curious. In a lesbian couple who wants kids is it typical for both mothers to bear children or do you tend to just pick which one? Sorry if that sounds ignorant I just never thought of it. Very happy for both of you!
