Yea premature babies, especially multiples, are hilarious. Just google NICU for some laughs

Unless they died I couldn’t care less, don’t post ugly babies online and expect not to hear about it.

It doesn’t take much to be a kind human — you should try it sometime.

I just don’t like the passive aggressive comment like I’m supposed to be a kind reader and know they were premature. Like post it with the post or don’t get mad when people point out the obvious without knowing anything. It’s just a childish way to view the internet to expect ME to care about YOUR problems

Look, Reddit can be whatever you want it to be — but you have to keep in mind that for other people it’s what they want it to be as well.

Your expectations can change on a daily basis, or even a sub-to-sub basis, and that’s cool.

The OP didn’t post this thinking or anticipating that people would be cruel about their looks and that they survived being born premature.

They just wanted to proudly share a family picture from 30+ years ago.

My thing is you don’t have to always like or appreciate something — that’s certainly your prerogative. Just scroll on by and find something you do like. I just don’t understand the unkindness.

I lost my daughter two years ago to suicide — she was 34. She was born a month premature a year earlier (1986) than these twins. Her untimely and devastating death makes me look at things a little differently — and I try to pass along what I’ve learned. Take it or leave it.
