Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is John. This is your og okay Storytime podcast hosts,
and we have some rocking stories for you coming up.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
But before you rock out with your socks out, I
got a quick tum in an ad break from a
sponsors keeping the show rocking and rolling.

Speaker 3 (00:14):
My in law's rejected my triplets because they think they're unnatural.

Speaker 1 (00:18):
Oh wait they what wit?

Speaker 4 (00:19):
They made in a laboratory of some Because so i'mthing weird.

Speaker 1 (00:23):
About those three.

Speaker 4 (00:25):
And we're back and nothing ever happened. This is the
first time we're doing this.

Speaker 3 (00:29):
I've been lurking here for a while and finally decided
to share my own stories about my crazy mother in law.
I have a lot, but this one stands out the most.
I'll try not to waffle on, but this might get long.
My husband and I started trying to have a baby
in late twenty ten. We struggled, and four years later
we hadn't any luck. We tried a lot of different things,

(00:50):
even two rounds of IBF, but nothing had stuck. By
the way, this comes from share the stories, and if
you want to some of your own stories, go to
our slas showcase Storytime subvert it so oh. In June
of twenty fifteen, we decided that if we didn't have
any luck by December, we would stop trying and think
about other options. Deep inside, I was certain we'd get
lucky and that I get pregnant.

Speaker 1 (01:11):
I was wrong, that's so rough.

Speaker 3 (01:14):
However, a couple of months into twenty sixteen, I got
what I thought was a stomach bug. One trip to
the doctors later and it was confirmed I was pregnant.

Speaker 4 (01:25):
Ah, you got a uterus bug in staice, three of
them from the sounds of a baby bug.

Speaker 3 (01:31):
We were so happy and relieved. Husband cried for about
two hours.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
All we had.

Speaker 3 (01:36):
Always planned to wait until twelve weeks to tell anyone,
but we were so excited that we immediately called our parents.
They were thrilled and agreed not to tell anyone until
we were ready. Given my past fertility issues, I was
terrified of losing the baby. So we went and got
a scan almost right away and found out I was
ten weeks along. We also found out that we that

(01:57):
we were having triplets. To quote my doctor, sure, I
don't do things and halves. Immediately after getting the scan,
we went to husband's parents place to tell them about
the three babies. We sat them down. I was shaking
with excitement and told them that we were expecting three babies.
I'm sure they were overjoyed to hear this wondrous news.

Speaker 1 (02:19):
Maybe they just short circuited.

Speaker 3 (02:22):
That's why, Guys, I've never seen looks of joy turned to.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
Horror so quickly. See.

Speaker 3 (02:28):
What I didn't know was that they believe multiple births
are unnatural.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
And often demonic in nature. What where? What?

Speaker 3 (02:38):
What religion did they get that from?

Speaker 4 (02:40):
Didn't wait, is it we're we're Caane and Abel not
in the same wound.

Speaker 1 (02:46):
You're the resident Bible man.

Speaker 4 (02:49):
Cain and Abel were brother twins, for whatever brothers they were,
they born at the same time.

Speaker 1 (02:55):
That's a different.

Speaker 4 (02:58):
I just had to consult with y. I don't know
you was Forromulus and Remus. Seems like a wild take
to say that were twins in triple toy babies.

Speaker 3 (03:07):
That should be like, oh, babies, there's two of them?

Speaker 1 (03:12):
Yay?

Speaker 3 (03:13):
You know, yeah, weird, especially after everything they went through.
Don't even ask what kind of mental gymnastics it takes
to come to this conclusion. I still don't know. Mother
in law proceeded to explain how it.

Speaker 5 (03:25):
Clearly wasn't God's plan for us to be parents or
we would have been long ago. And how maybe someone
else had a hand in this, dude.

Speaker 3 (03:34):
The like literally Mary's sister's whole thing is that she
could never have a children, have a child, and then
when she's like fifty, she has a kid because God
gives her a kid.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
That's like religion. My mind is being blown right now.

Speaker 4 (03:48):
What because bubbles Marie said that, like even back in
the seventeenth century, like the trope of the evil twin,
I never thought about where that came from. And it's like, yeah,
I guess it was rooted in like spiritual belief that
one twin is just the evil counterpart of the other.

Speaker 3 (04:03):
Strange crazy. Obviously, we couldn't say much as we were
utterly shocked. She then suggested that we could forget.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
This happened and try again. What what what do you mean? What?
I'm sorry?

Speaker 3 (04:21):
So so so they're let me see, let me see that.
So they're religious and they think that these triplets are demonic,
and so their answer to that is to terminate the children.

Speaker 1 (04:36):
Yeah, they're doing they're doing triple backflips in their heads.

Speaker 3 (04:40):
You can terminate if you have triplets because their demons.

Speaker 1 (04:44):
The demons, the demons, the demons brought forth by the
weird Yeah not a not right.

Speaker 3 (04:52):
We left fuming and went to see my parents, who
responded with joy, tears and many congratulations yeah like normal people,
which I had to put mother in law and father
in law out of our mind. Over the course of
the pregnancy, we limited contact with them as they continued
to make it clear that they were uncomfortable with the
three babies. We were so excited and busy preparing that

(05:13):
we barely missed them.

Speaker 1 (05:14):
And then we had the baby shower.

Speaker 3 (05:17):
I had thrown my sister all the baby showers for
her kids, and she was so excited to be able
to return the favor finally that I let her do
whatever she wanted. It was beautiful, tasteful, and classy. We
played some games and everyone seemed to be getting along
and enjoying themselves. And then came the gifts. Everyone had
brought things and sets of three. My favorite was from

(05:40):
my cousin a Thing one, Thing two, and Thing three soups.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
Oh classic.

Speaker 3 (05:44):
Mother in law had saved her gifts for last and
was so excited for me to finally open them. She
had gotten me a stroller, which I would have been
super grateful for, except that we'd already ordered a custom
one that worked for triplets. She then said, the baby
will love it, and look, I also got this foot
the baby singular?

Speaker 1 (06:06):
What do you? What are you? What are you doing?

Speaker 3 (06:08):
Which one?

Speaker 1 (06:09):
Which baby? Or are you picking? Dude?

Speaker 3 (06:11):
You're just gonna pick the one you vibe with the most.

Speaker 4 (06:13):
Yeah, and then you just sacrifice the other ones.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
Have you guys seen the movie will Happen on Monday? No, dude?

Speaker 3 (06:20):
Is that that's all the triplets or whatever? All the
seven there's like seven of.

Speaker 1 (06:24):
Them, sept template oh, seven septuplet seven.

Speaker 6 (06:28):
Twins, seven twins, and they each are called Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturdays.

Speaker 1 (06:34):
And guess when they can come out only on those days? Who? Uh?
Who plays? Who's the actor or actor?

Speaker 3 (06:42):
I think I've seen a club And isn't it because
like you're only supposed to have one child or something?

Speaker 1 (06:45):
And then I'm too hot, at.

Speaker 3 (06:48):
Which point one of my aunts asked my mother if
mother in law knew I was having triplets.

Speaker 5 (06:53):
It was a little.

Speaker 3 (06:54):
Uncomfortable, but my sister's smooth things over and we moved on.
After the party, mother in law, My mother and my
sisters stayed to help clean up, and my mother was
talking about how excited she was about having three babies
around at once, when my mother in law turned to
me and said, share or opie, haven't you told her
she's only keeping one?

Speaker 6 (07:13):
Wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait sorry sorry,
religious parents are saying.

Speaker 1 (07:19):
She's only keeping one.

Speaker 3 (07:20):
That's religious sets are only saying that that's what I said.

Speaker 6 (07:24):
I don't don't even don't.

Speaker 4 (07:26):
It's absurd, Like this is like immediate, like do you
need to go to the doctor?

Speaker 1 (07:31):
Is your brain?

Speaker 4 (07:32):
And if they're like, oh, I'm totally fine, then I'm like,
guess who's not allowed to be around the kids because
I'm afraid you're going to try to throw them away.

Speaker 1 (07:39):
Okay.

Speaker 6 (07:40):
Also, if you are reading the Bible and stuff you want,
you want like more kids, it's like, you know, spread
your seat and multiply and stuff like why are we.

Speaker 1 (07:47):
Trying to get rid? What? That's what I because they're
unnatural demons, That's what I'm freaking saying. Show me where
that is? Show me.

Speaker 3 (07:55):
As you can imagine, this sparked a whole argument, which
ended in me punting mother out and crying into cake.
Husband had a good long talk with her, and we
essentially cut contact for the remainder of the pregnancy.

Speaker 1 (08:07):
I didn't know Op knew Kon. Yeah, that's that's exactly
what I thought. Op cried into Kon's butt cheeks. Sorry,
I had to say that out loud.

Speaker 3 (08:17):
So the big day finally arrived, and I gave birth
to three small, but amazingly beautiful babies through caesarean. After
some complications. I was absolutely exhausted, so we decided that
we would wait until I was better to contact my families.
It was about one am when it was all over,
so we figured it wouldn't matter that much if we
waited until the morning, plus rest and bonding time were important.

(08:41):
The babies had to spend some time in the nicu
due to their size, but we were able to pick
them up for short periods of time. So the next day,
around lunchtime, we called our families to tell them that our.

Speaker 1 (08:52):
Little miracles were here. My mother and.

Speaker 3 (08:55):
Sister came up right away and were absolutely besotted. Mother
in law and father in law came in about an
hour later, and my mother immediately offered the baby she
was holding to mother in law. Why why would you
do that? She's gonna run away with that baby.

Speaker 4 (09:11):
She's gonna like smell each of them and be like, no,
that's the good one. Now the other two are the
other one smell off? Which one was born?

Speaker 1 (09:21):
First?

Speaker 3 (09:22):
Mother in law asked before taking the baby. I told
her the boy that my sister was holding.

Speaker 1 (09:27):
Why are we in the boy? Which was the boy?
Why are we entertaining her? Why is she here?

Speaker 4 (09:33):
She's made it clear that she doesn't even why think
that your kids should exist?

Speaker 3 (09:37):
Like, let's do some critical thinking here. I'll hold him.
Then I was confused, but offered the girl two boys,
one girl I was holding to father in law.

Speaker 1 (09:47):
He declined, saying.

Speaker 3 (09:48):
He would wait for mother in law to finish. Now
you've probably clicked into what was happening.

Speaker 1 (09:54):
I didn't.

Speaker 3 (09:55):
Husband and I were so caught up in our babies
that we didn't notice at first that they were blatantly
ignoring the second and third born babies. We actually didn't
catch on to this until they returned a couple of
days later with it's.

Speaker 1 (10:06):
A boy balloon.

Speaker 3 (10:09):
Needless to say, this didn't fly with us. We had
gone through too much for two of our babies to
not count. We immediately put our foot down and said
that if they wanted to see the babies, they would
have to acknowledge that there were three of them. To
this day, there is some favoritism, but they do.

Speaker 1 (10:25):
Love all three. Oh dude, honestly, I don't know. I
don't buy that.

Speaker 4 (10:29):
Yeah, that sounds suspicious. And if I'm Opie's husband, I'm
being like, hey, do I have secret like siblings that
I don't know about that you gave away because we
were twins.

Speaker 3 (10:42):
I wouldn't trust these grandparents around your children.

Speaker 4 (10:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (10:46):
No, I'm like, arms, legs, low contact.

Speaker 3 (10:52):
I'm actually pretty shocked that you just like your mom
and you just immediately were like, yeah, here, hold the babies.
I mean, they made it really clear that they wanted
you to give up two.

Speaker 1 (11:01):
Of your babies. Oh God. Maybe they were just like,
that's can't be real.

Speaker 4 (11:05):
Like I gotta imagine if that was happening to me,
I'd be like, they're probably, I mean, so absurd.

Speaker 1 (11:11):
I can't take that seriously, right crazy?

Speaker 3 (11:14):
But there is an update. Nicole h says these bad
decisions are made out of the high on life because
three precious babies. They are not thinking clearly. Oh yeah,
I think that totally. Like Op and her husband were,
you know, just ohp he just gave birth. Yeah, there's
a lot of emotions going on. I'm just kinda surprise that,

(11:35):
like the mother in law was allowed to, you know,
invite it into the room.

Speaker 4 (11:39):
I mean, you gotta assume where it's like, all right, well,
once she sees the kids, she's gonna let go of
this whole weird delusion that there's only one right.

Speaker 1 (11:46):
Well, I don't know, insane behavior.

Speaker 3 (11:49):
Deardrew say them says not, No, they don't. They're showing favoritism. Yeah,
he was like, yeah, there's favoritism, but no, they love
all three favoritism.

Speaker 1 (11:58):
But there is an update.

Speaker 3 (11:59):
After reading through all the comments on my previous posts,
it got me worried about the in laws having any
contact with the kids. It certainly wouldn't be unlike them
to hide the crazy only to spring it out all
at once.

Speaker 1 (12:10):
They're not even hiding the crazy.

Speaker 3 (12:13):
It's four am at the moment, what's the what sleep?
So I'll be having a talk with husband about it
all tomorrow. The only reason we're still in contact with
them is because I think husband is desensitized to they're
crazy Slash used to blocking it out, and we've been
so hyped on baby love that we haven't really thought
about how their behavior could affect us at all. But

(12:34):
there is an update. Oh It says, I also want
to thank the Star Wars Trek for the nickname for
my mother in law, the Kurgan, the Kurgan.

Speaker 1 (12:42):
I don't watch enough Star Trek to know what that is.
I don't know that.

Speaker 3 (12:44):
I don't know the joke, but it's funny. There is
an update the Kurgan. The naming the Kurrugan uh Deardrew
Statham says, when did they hide the crazy?

Speaker 1 (12:54):
That's what I'm saying exactly.

Speaker 4 (12:56):
It's like, that's why it's it's like a husband needs
to be like way more.

Speaker 1 (13:02):
Aggressive. He's so passive.

Speaker 3 (13:05):
He's like, you know, my parents they're always getting rid
of kids.

Speaker 1 (13:09):
It's like, dude, they're gonna like lose one on purpose
at this.

Speaker 3 (13:12):
Rate, Like I don't know where the other two went,
but this one's here.

Speaker 4 (13:18):
Yeah, that's why you those were just spare And they'll
be like it must be a sign from God that
you were just meant to have this one.

Speaker 1 (13:27):
Look at that. But there is a second update.

Speaker 3 (13:30):
Well, dear husband is at work before we can have
a proper talk about the in law situation, and while
all three kids are happily having floor time or communicating
with Satan, who knows, I thought i'd write up about
the naming. Oh yeah, what are your baby's names? Did
you name them bob, job and Knob?

Speaker 1 (13:50):
You should have named them all Horatio.

Speaker 3 (13:53):
Oh, I was gonna say, you could do like Lucy
for Lucifer Cipher.

Speaker 4 (14:00):
Uh that then asking to come out of the in laws.

Speaker 3 (14:06):
In husband's family, it's tradition for babies to be christened.
My family, while also being religious, think that the kids
should wait until twelve to be baptized so it can
be their choice. Instead, we have what we call the
name Day, where we gather all the extended family and
friends and formally announce the baby's name and welcome them
to family. Dear husband and I talked it over and

(14:28):
decided that we wanted to go with the name day
for our little ones now, since it's tradition in our
family to keep the name secret until name day, something
I find weird, but whatever. But since our babies were
premy so we're in hospital for longer than most, we
had been nicknaming them. No one actually knew their full
first names, though a few guests from the nicknames. So

(14:49):
name Day rolls around. Everyone's gathered and we introduce our
three babies. Everyone is excited and in love with the names.
The younger two are quite traditional names alone the lines
of James and Mary, whereas our eldest is named Dante.

Speaker 1 (15:06):
You were Dante's did what? He basically took my suggestion.

Speaker 3 (15:11):
Somehow mother in law and father in law had never
heard of Dante's Inferno, so they were saying how it
was such a regal name, perfect for our firstborn. The
next day we got a panic call from my mother
in law. She had been made. She had been researching
what Dante's name means to make a little.

Speaker 1 (15:30):
I'm sure it.

Speaker 3 (15:30):
Meant plaque, but I do think it's funny that says
plague for him, plague and discovered Dante's work. That's so funny.
She just stumbled upon Dante's work. She's like, what is
this Dante's Inferno? And then she starts reading a Bottacelli.

Speaker 4 (15:47):
Well imagine finds instead and it's just like, oh, he
must be funny.

Speaker 1 (15:53):
What's going on here?

Speaker 3 (15:55):
What's the one I'm thinking of not Bottacelli. He's an artist,
isn't he the other guy who's writing at the same
time as Dante? Dante Dante Donto, I don't know a friend.

Speaker 1 (16:05):
No, it's fine.

Speaker 3 (16:07):
He wrote a bunch of Basically, it was during the plague,
and he wrote about this like a bunch of twenty
year olds who go out into the country side and
start telling stories. I had to do a whole class about.

Speaker 1 (16:17):
This, and it clearly it didn't stick. Nope, it starts.

Speaker 3 (16:20):
With the bee though. But of course we can't have known.
But we have to change the name right away. Husband
and I explained that yes we knew about Dante's Circles
of Hell, and yes that's where the inspiration came from,
and no, we weren't changing it. Mother in law cried
and we hung up. She called back later and suggested

(16:41):
changing the.

Speaker 1 (16:42):
De Cameron.

Speaker 3 (16:44):
Is what the what the de Cameron is the book
that I was thinking of. I still can't remember the name.

Speaker 4 (16:48):
I would have done the exact same thing as soon
as I remembered what it was.

Speaker 3 (16:52):
She called back later and suggested changing it to Gabriel.
We hung up. She brought it up once more and
husband said, if she mentioned it again, we would change
all three's name to Lucifer.

Speaker 1 (17:05):
Nice put on a real level, name your kid Constantine.

Speaker 3 (17:07):
Oh no, this was Lucy Constantine Dante.

Speaker 1 (17:13):
I thought it will be it was one girl and
two boys.

Speaker 4 (17:15):
Okay, yeah, yeah, true, and then Lucy and Constantine will
bicker all the time.

Speaker 1 (17:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (17:23):
It hasn't been mentioned by her again, but we do
get so many people saying how much they love the name.
I ran into an old English teacher from high school
and he went on and on about how it was
such a fantastic name and did we know list of
facts about the book. He ended up getting a copy
of the book for a son and sending it.

Speaker 1 (17:40):
To my mom. That's so sweet.

Speaker 3 (17:42):
It sits among the Mister Men and Doctor Seuss books.
Mister men, what is that?

Speaker 1 (17:48):
Men?

Speaker 3 (17:49):
Mister men books, I've never heard of that.

Speaker 1 (17:52):
I'm looking that up immediately.

Speaker 4 (17:54):
Also, I looked up the Kurgan and it's I can't
believe I forgot what this was.

Speaker 1 (17:58):
It's from The Highlander, which I don't know if when
of here knows what that is.

Speaker 4 (18:01):
But he's played by Sean Connery. Oh so the Kuragan
is an immortal. He chases down all the other immortals.

Speaker 1 (18:06):
From Highlanders and you got to do it. Yeah, shout
out the Kurgan. But there is an update you're browsing
as a guest. Whoa right now?

Speaker 3 (18:16):
Wait do.

Speaker 1 (18:19):
What does that say?

Speaker 3 (18:19):
That's saying mister meady, mister meedy, mister tickle. Oh yeah,
and I'm saying Pacacia, thank you.

Speaker 1 (18:30):
Oh it's my favorite kind of bread. I love that. Aha.
Update three.

Speaker 3 (18:37):
So I sat down with husband last week and showed
him the posts and everyone's comments. At first, he was
upset and defensive about it all, but after he had
some time to calm down and think it over, he
agreed that it would be best to address the favoritism
issues now rather than later. Yeap, Obviously they're gonna be
like fifteen and he's gonna come to them, and he's like, now,

(19:00):
I'm sure you've noticed that your grandparents like Dante the best.

Speaker 4 (19:04):
Yeah, I mean you just if you're just straight up,
they'll they'll notice it before anyone exactly.

Speaker 3 (19:10):
Which is why you should address it with your your
parents now so that they don't do.

Speaker 6 (19:14):
That bro or or or or or or work the system.
Oh yo, dona elaborate me and other siblings. Yo, Dante,
you know, and then Dante comes for it. Yeah, I
know about our grandparents. I know I'm the favorite, and
and Dante's like, it's messed up. But I think we
can use this to our advantage. And the other two
are like what He's like, what if I split this

(19:35):
between us? I I I every time they come around,
I lather them up. I I put it on big
and then whenever they gave me stuff, ready to you guys,
because that's not fair.

Speaker 1 (19:46):
I like that. It's like a team effort.

Speaker 3 (19:48):
Yeah, so scam the grandparents.

Speaker 6 (19:51):
So let's say we're all three triplets. Okay, yeah, I
would come to them. I'm Dante. I come to them
to be like I love I'm Dante. I love improv.
I love doing improv theater stuff. Okay, come watch my show.
Come watch my show. I look just like my other twin. Boom,
they wash you. I absolutely love. I want a new car.
Can I get a new car?

Speaker 1 (20:11):
Boom? They get me a brand new car.

Speaker 3 (20:12):
And then we all share it, will they?

Speaker 6 (20:15):
Well, you and I already have cars, but this guy's
car like not good for a while. So okay, I
get a car for my other twin.

Speaker 1 (20:23):
I think how much they like you? Yeah, well, but
I mean they like me a lot. I'm their fan.

Speaker 4 (20:28):
I don't know now that your name's Dante, they might
switch up and be like, you're the demon.

Speaker 1 (20:33):
Well, see, you're the demon.

Speaker 3 (20:35):
Uh. Yesterday Saturday, we dropped the babies at my parents'
house and went over to talk to mother in law
and father in law. We sat them down and essentially
explained that we were worried there would be negative of
effects on the kids since they openly favored the firstborn. Guys,
you were right. They flipped their crap. Father in law

(20:56):
exploded first, asking us how.

Speaker 5 (20:59):
We could audit hotly expect them to love something so unnatural.

Speaker 1 (21:03):
It's quite literally, baby, that's a baby, bro. Father in law,
Do I have to explain genetic alleles to you, my guy?

Speaker 3 (21:12):
Because I thought the story really quick pause. I thought
the story was going to be that they got IVF
and that's why they were like, oh, this is unnatural.

Speaker 1 (21:19):
But I know that's just like, this is just plain
old birth, their miracle babies, just the roll birth.

Speaker 4 (21:27):
Might never have kids and now we have three. Instead
of being like this isn't the best, they're like, well.

Speaker 1 (21:32):
You know you have two demons, right, did you crazy? Yeah,
it's on natural hob put that owner what that's.

Speaker 3 (21:41):
What got Sorry, that's what Op's husband said to his parents.

Speaker 1 (21:46):
That's what he's thinking.

Speaker 6 (21:47):
He's like, yeah, dude, now you think about it, that's
what you should start saying.

Speaker 4 (21:52):
You should start trying to just make your parents uncomfortable.
Opie's husband like, because they're I would not entertain this.
They're cut off all right for me?

Speaker 1 (22:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (22:02):
Mother in law then jumped in, saying that we had.

Speaker 5 (22:04):
Made the choice to keep the things and had to
suffer the consequences. She's like, gest you wait on you
birthed the Antichrist.

Speaker 3 (22:14):
The day your reckonings upon.

Speaker 1 (22:16):
Us, run for your lives.

Speaker 3 (22:19):
Obviously this went down well with us slash sarcasm. Husband
lost his crap two and told them that they were
crazy and would never see him or the babies again.

Speaker 1 (22:30):
Thank thank the Lord.

Speaker 3 (22:33):
Finally he took me by the arm and led me out,
telling them never to contact him again. We got in
the car and drove to a park a few blocks away.
Husband was really agitated, so I let him have a
few minutes to cool off while I stayed in the
car and tried to take deep breaths. While I was waiting,
I called my parents and let them know that in
laws might try to contact them, but they weren't to

(22:56):
let them near the kids. When a husband had calmed down,
he got back in the car and we started making
a safety plan. Since the kids are only ever in
our care or my parents care, which is pretty rare,
we didn't need to alert anyone about it yet. We
decided the best thing to do would be to install
security cameras, change the locks. In laws have asper key.
Oh yikes, and hasten our plan to move. We've been

(23:20):
wanting to for a while, but with new triplets it's
been a little tricky. We then went and picked up
the babies and went home. Husband as a friend who
was a locksmith, so we called, gave him a brief
rundown and asked if it would be possible to change
the locks this weekend. His friend said yes, but it
would have to wait until Sunday. No problem, that's great,
et cetera. We had just started looking into security measures

(23:41):
when we got a knock on the door. Guess who Yep,
mother in law, but not alone. No, she'd brought her
priest to visit the babies. Why this priest doesn't come
in here and be like, these are normal babies, these
are regular old babies.

Speaker 6 (24:01):
Yep, I'm gonna go to wherever he goes, to wherever
he works, and being like, guys, sure, are you want
to be given your time to this guy.

Speaker 1 (24:09):
I'm I'm sure he's gonna be like, yeah, the kids
are fine, what he's doing, just babies, please please.

Speaker 3 (24:18):
The priest seemed quite uncomfortable at being dragged into the
family drama. Yes, but he said that mother in law
was concerned about dematic activity around the younger two babies.

Speaker 1 (24:29):
We told him the children were.

Speaker 3 (24:31):
Fine, then told mother in law that if she didn't leave,
we would be calling the police. She then proceeded to
call the police herself, claiming that we were abusive and
cruel and needed to have the babies taken away. The
police took over an hour to arrive. We had closed
the door and got about our business, and when they did,
mother in law was howling about how we were such
awful people.

Speaker 1 (24:51):
Oh my god.

Speaker 3 (24:52):
The priest told the police what had actually gone down.

Speaker 1 (24:56):
The priest is still there, Yeah, he's been here for
an hour. He's like, she's hired me for like three hours.
This is like a sitcom. This is wild.

Speaker 3 (25:05):
We told them the same, and they told mother in
law to leave.

Speaker 1 (25:08):
Let's go, okay. Priests like, yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (25:12):
She told me that her children, her grandkids, were you know, demons,
So I came to check it out.

Speaker 1 (25:20):
And just babies.

Speaker 6 (25:21):
Next thing the priest has to do is talk to
them and be like, yo, if you guys still want
to be members of the church, you can't be accusing
babies of having demons in them.

Speaker 3 (25:29):
He's like, I was called for an exorcism, but I
think that the person who called me needs an exorcism.

Speaker 1 (25:35):
First off, you know, disappointed I am. Second off, you're.

Speaker 4 (25:38):
Crazy girl, honestly for a fake call like that, dude,
I don't know, put her in the tank yeaheah.

Speaker 6 (25:45):
But imagine you're waiting for an exorcism and you go
and you have to like, oh wait what, I'd be
so mad.

Speaker 1 (25:52):
I'd be so bused, waste my time.

Speaker 3 (25:55):
One of the female officers said she would put the
incident on file and told us to contact her if
anything else happened, which I thought was fantastic. Husband has
obviously been really upset by everything that happened. He cried
a lot last night, but woke up this morning really
determined to fix things. The locks have been changed, security
cameras are set up with audio at the front door,
and there has been no further contact for mother in

(26:17):
law or father in law. I'm so glad that I
posted here, and I sincerely thank everybody for their advice.
I shuddered to think what could have happened had we
kept on the way we were going. Any further advice
would be most welcome. And there is a fourth update.
Dude movie Pitch. It's about three demon babies. The mother

(26:39):
in law is like trying to save everyone from these
three demon babies. She knows there's a demon, and everyone's like,
you're crazy, You're crazy, mother in law. She's right, there
were demons and the babies the whole time.

Speaker 4 (26:52):
I like the flip side of that, where it's like
a dark comedy where it's just like about messed up
family dynamics and these people have triplets and their mom
is just going insane over it. And then somebody, it
was persa persad said they should say that I lied
and the boy wasn't the first one. And then now
you don't know who your chosen baby is. It's like

(27:14):
that would be great.

Speaker 3 (27:15):
You do it. You put them all under coconut shells,
you switch them.

Speaker 1 (27:18):
Up and you're like JeOS.

Speaker 3 (27:22):
Update for on top of everything happening, the triplets have
chosen now is their time to get their first cold.
Oh doctor has been and confirmed that it's nothing too serious.
But three cranky babies are hard work. Or maybe they
don't have the cold, they have a demon in them?
Do we think about that everything? My lap I wanted

(27:42):
to address some reoccurring questions slash comments. First thing is
the priest A lot of you were right that he
came along with mother in law not because he believed
there was actually demonic activity, but because he was worried
that there was something else going on. He reached out
to us today and said that if we need help support,
he can help us find.

Speaker 1 (27:59):
Groups, therapist, et cetera. Nice priest.

Speaker 3 (28:02):
He also suggested that we keep our distance from mother
in law, as she seemed to have severe delusions. He
also put us in contact with a lawyer who's willing
to do some free work for us if needed. W Priest, Yeah,
good priest, I.

Speaker 4 (28:16):
Get the get like an official restraining or something as
fast as possible.

Speaker 3 (28:22):
I mean, you have the word of the priest. You
also have the police officers who file the reports. So
I definitely think that you could get this.

Speaker 1 (28:28):
You have the laws of man and side. That's true.

Speaker 3 (28:33):
We also asked him about the multiple births being unnatural
thing and he confirmed that it definitely isn't in the
Catholic doctrine. Yeah, no, doy do we look that up?
Where where does what like what religion or you know,
practice is that from?

Speaker 4 (28:50):
I think it's just like a really antiquainted sentiment. Yeah,
but like from where, you know, I think it is?
It just like all cultures have something sort of.

Speaker 1 (28:59):
About that. Bobus Marie made a comment earlier, I didn't
think that left handed people. That is true.

Speaker 3 (29:05):
We're actually one of my friends fathers was born left
handed and Padaberry was raised in like a really religious background,
and they broke his hand so that he wouldn't use
it and so you had to learn how to.

Speaker 1 (29:18):
Yeah, that was and that was like a.

Speaker 3 (29:21):
Super common practice until like the fifties or like until
like somewhat recently.

Speaker 1 (29:25):
Religion will make people do the dumbest things.

Speaker 4 (29:28):
Really quick story about uh, the introduction of cutlery like
forks and knives and spoons to Europe. Before they were
introduced there, people just ate with their hands, and of
course people would get sick from it. And then it
got brought over from like like a like a princess
from like the Middle East or something, or from from
Mike Persia came over and all the you know, the
like the the church people were like, this.

Speaker 1 (29:49):
Is an a front of God.

Speaker 4 (29:50):
This is blasphemy, and it's like, why would you use
these tools when we were given God's perfect tools to
keep with.

Speaker 3 (29:57):
It's it's demonic, yeah, which is how it has now
come back around and people are like, oh, not using
your your cupleries. You know what people nowadays are like,
you know they are yeh.

Speaker 1 (30:10):
In Western culture, I feel like it's you eat with
your hands? What what you know?

Speaker 3 (30:14):
I'm saying that people in a lot of Western are like,
you must go your catil.

Speaker 4 (30:18):
I thought you were saying bare hand eating was coming back.
I was like, I am not tapped into that.

Speaker 1 (30:22):
Oh well, I mean in many cultures it is, well
I know, and like yeah, yeah, anyway, I was just confused.

Speaker 3 (30:28):
Secondly, CPS, we got in contact with a friend of
ours who works in a local branch and gave her
a rundown. Her exact words were, I effingtology.

Speaker 1 (30:37):
She was nuts.

Speaker 3 (30:38):
She organized to have a social worker drop by this
week to do a health assessment and had gotten us
booked in to see a psychologist in a few weeks.
We've started looking for another house. Because of dear husband's job,
we can't leave the town, but we are looking at
houses on the other side of town from in laws.
We've also been looking into more security measures. We're in Australia,

(30:59):
so we don't have Walmart year as far as I know,
certainly not in our town, but we're looking at finding
window sensors. We have also contacted close friends and family
and let them know what's going on. My parents are
absolutely horrified, and my best friend is offered to stake
out our lawn dressed to satan. Wow, that's funny. That's
a good deterred friend. I think that's most of the thing.

(31:20):
But my brain is a little fried at the moment.
And there is a fifth update. But did we find
out about where this comes from?

Speaker 1 (31:27):
The three baby thing? Yeah or no?

Speaker 3 (31:28):
Just like twins, Trump triplets.

Speaker 1 (31:31):
Has because the evil twin trope does exist? Where does it?

Speaker 3 (31:35):
Like?

Speaker 1 (31:35):
Look up? Like where?

Speaker 4 (31:38):
What?

Speaker 3 (31:41):
When did that happen? When did they think that triplets?
Twins and triplets were were demonic? The lawyer princesses. I
do see sometimes the fork compared to the devil's pitchfork,
Like what interesting?

Speaker 1 (31:57):
They're not they can't, they're not pulling it up, They're like,
what are you talking about? Gothic literature and horror? Now?
I looked it up on chat and it didn't work
on either one. Interesting and what did you find?

Speaker 4 (32:08):
This is an AI description the evil twin trope, a
character who is an evil counterpart to a protagonist, stems
from the doppelganger or shadow self motif offen seven in
Gothic literature and horror, where twins represent subjective dichotomies and
externalized moral or religious struggles. So it's probably just like
you know, some old ass literature.

Speaker 3 (32:28):
Interesting, maybe Chi says evil twin was a thing in
Nigeria in Cross River Old And I'm going to do
research on this in my own time because I'm interested.
But there is a fifth update and oh well, what
the else is? Oh my god, they're from here, and
I'm assuming you're from Australia. But let's get into this.

Speaker 1 (32:48):
Hey it's Sam. We're gonna get back to the stories.
But here's three minutes fads from our sponsors.

Speaker 3 (32:52):
It's been at least six months since my last post.
I can't believe how fast it's all gone and so
much has happened, or this will probably be a long
post for Okay. First, the babies are doing amazing. They're
getting so big, starting to walk and saying a few words.
So far, we're managing pretty well with them and are
absolutely so happy. Second, after months of lawyers, courts and stress,

(33:16):
we finally have no contact a no contact order on
mother in law. She isn't allowed anywhere near us and
isn't allowed to contact us or have third parties contact us.
This is a big win and we fought and was
fought very hard for she pulled out every trick in
the book to fight us. I can't remember the exact

(33:37):
dates of all this, so I apologize if it's all
a bit vague. After she brought the priest to visit
that basically punted everything off. We got CPS to conduct
a visit and health check and they gave us the
all clear. Mother in law then began reporting to them daily,
if not multiple times a day, pretending to be neighbors
and friends, complaining of hearing us screaming at the children
and the children being bruised and now nourished more. Welfare

(34:01):
checks can't see anything wrong.

Speaker 1 (34:02):
So this is when the police need to get involved or.

Speaker 3 (34:05):
You need to Yeah, these are actively and charges.

Speaker 4 (34:07):
Tell the police that she's making false claims and allegations
and she can actually go to jail for that.

Speaker 1 (34:12):
Exactly.

Speaker 3 (34:13):
She would call the police and say that we left
the babies alone outside in the car, and these are again,
these are false claims. The police ended up charging her
with supplies supplying false information.

Speaker 1 (34:23):
Finally, let's go.

Speaker 3 (34:25):
She started sending uh FM.

Speaker 1 (34:29):
To visit us. Is that the father started sending.

Speaker 4 (34:35):
For friar fire, fryar man.

Speaker 3 (34:40):
She started sending FM to visit us. Two of her
sisters in particular.

Speaker 1 (34:46):
Who's to say.

Speaker 3 (34:47):
They would basically come over, coo over the babies, and leave.
At first we thought there was no harm in it.
Then CPS came again and said they'd complained that our
house was filthy and the babies were being left in
dirty nappies all day. Now the house wasn't at it's tidius.

Speaker 1 (35:00):
Ohmt.

Speaker 3 (35:01):
I was a bit behind on the laundry and dishes,
but it was definitely not as bad as they made
it out to me. Next time they came over, we
told them that we didn't want them visiting for a while.
They called the police and the lady officer from my
first or second post came over and basically told them
to bugger off and leave us alone. Oh my god,
you can't catch a break. This is so frustrating. You're

(35:23):
trying to take care of free three babies. One baby
is hard, three babies, and people keep freaking filing reports
on you.

Speaker 1 (35:33):
This is when like, hmmm, no, I don't want to
advocate for that. In Seattle.

Speaker 4 (35:40):
Y'all could legally fight about this, but I don't think
y'all live in Seattle.

Speaker 3 (35:44):
They live in Australia.

Speaker 1 (35:45):
Yeah, so just file file a restraining order. It's ridiculous.

Speaker 4 (35:50):
It's like at some points to be like the police
are like, we're not going to respond the calls for
the house about child endangerment because it's absurd and clearly
there is a targeted attack against these people. Yeah, but
I guess they have to responned all calls I'm probably
on principle, you know, a few.

Speaker 3 (36:03):
Months after this all started, we got approved for another house. Unfortunately,
due to husband's work, leaving town isn't an option, but
we didn't tell anyone our new address except for my parents,
my best friend, and husband's best friend. It was so
peaceful and calm for a while that I was beginning
to relax and let my card down. No One day,
husband and his friend had gone out and my best

(36:25):
friend and I were at home chatting and doing some
sewing together. The doorbell rang, and as I had a
mouthful of pins and my hands full of fabric, my
best friend went to get it. I heard her open it,
and then allowed, what the.

Speaker 1 (36:37):
F guess who?

Speaker 4 (36:39):
Right?

Speaker 1 (36:40):
Mother in law?

Speaker 3 (36:42):
She was there, with an armful of presents for the
babies and a big wren on her face. I came
over the door and told her to leave. She was
pouting and asking if I hadn't put all that behind me.
She pointed out that it wasn't very Christian of me
not to forgive, to which my friend responded that it
wasn't very Christian of her to be a raging witch.
Mother in law obviously did not like that. I again,

(37:03):
told her to leave and said I would call the police.
Best friend said on it and dialed the cops. Mother
in law then burst into fake tears and started begging
for forgiveness, saying it was cruel to keep the little
angels from her.

Speaker 1 (37:15):
Oh oh, now now they're all little angels. Ah, now
they're all little angels.

Speaker 4 (37:19):
You're very funny, you think, after all those fake reports
that now I'm gonna let you beat.

Speaker 1 (37:25):
You thought they were demons. You're crazy.

Speaker 3 (37:28):
I swear you could hear the eye rolling from myself
and my best friend. Cops arrived and listened to both
sides of the story and told her to move along.
One of the cops told me I should be kinder
to her, which made me pretty mad, but I just
brushed it off.

Speaker 1 (37:41):
What I'd be like, okay, you do you do that?

Speaker 4 (37:45):
Then it's like that's like the same energy as like
a cop telling you to be nice to your stalker.

Speaker 1 (37:49):
It's like, maybe you'll leave you alone if you're just
nicer me me, me, if you just you're just you know,
give him a little compliment. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (37:56):
When husband got home, I told him, and he called
our lawyer and basically told them that we don't want
are anywhere near us. That set everything into motion and
the court dates started. We basically had to prove that
she was an actual danger to our children, but she
played the concerned grandparent and turned on the crocodile tears
spectacular spectacularly.

Speaker 6 (38:16):
Do you think we have enough evidence to prove that
she's dangerous for the kids?

Speaker 1 (38:20):
I think you have evidence of derangement with a fake claims.

Speaker 3 (38:25):
I'm just trying to figure out what this. You know,
what do they have one? Do they have a restraining order?
And if they do, why is it so useless?

Speaker 4 (38:33):
It doesn't sound like they have one restraining order. There's
no way she could just show up on the front
porch with gifts if they had a restraining order. Literally
to be like, well, you should just be nice get
a restraining order.

Speaker 1 (38:44):
Yeah, the time is way gone. You should have had
one already.

Speaker 3 (38:49):
Yeah, Harriet Spaghetti says, that's when you say calling the
cops is the kinder option compared to what I really
want to do.

Speaker 1 (38:55):
So you need to get her out of here.

Speaker 3 (38:57):
Facts, as we didn't have sufficient evident to keep her
away from us, the judge basically turned the case out.
Our lawyer thinks that the judge may have been biased,
but we couldn't do anything else other than try to
gather more evidence and appeal. Sorry if I'm being super vague.
The details are exhausting and would take months to write out.

Speaker 1 (39:15):
So the judge didn't do anything.

Speaker 3 (39:17):
No, the judge was like, I don't think we have
enough evidence here.

Speaker 1 (39:20):
That's crazy.

Speaker 4 (39:21):
She literally made all these fake claims trying to get
your kids taken away from you, and then enlisted family
members to do it for her when hers weren't working.
Oh yeah, so that's like she's conspiring to have the
children taken away by the state.

Speaker 3 (39:37):
And they're like, I don't know, there's just not any evidence.

Speaker 1 (39:41):
Maybe you should be nice. How nice have you been though?
Have you given her any compliments today? Have you given
her any gifts?

Speaker 3 (39:49):
She shows up to your house with gifts and you don't.

Speaker 1 (39:51):
You don't give her any gifts back? Seems a little rude,
not very Christian of you.

Speaker 3 (39:56):
We talked about moving again, but really didn't have the
money to do so, so best friend told us to
stay at her place and she'd stay at ours.

Speaker 1 (40:03):
Oh little little house swop.

Speaker 3 (40:05):
Yeah, are you gonna Are you gonna have fun in
love with Jack Black and Jude Law at least for
a little while so we'd feel safe and comfortable. I said,
how great she is, Because she's great. So we did
a house swap, and a few days later she sends
me a video of her opening the door and mother
in law there.

Speaker 1 (40:24):
Mother in law.

Speaker 3 (40:24):
Openly recoiled and started shouting things like good lord, my
heart and runs off.

Speaker 1 (40:31):
She said, oh he's still.

Speaker 3 (40:32):
My good lord.

Speaker 1 (40:34):
Why just because your friend opened the door?

Speaker 3 (40:38):
Yeah, she raised like a blinding light, good hands. Best
friend answered the door stark, unclothed. Oh that's whine ah.
Mother in law didn't return for about a week and
a half after that. When she did, she demanded to

(40:58):
know where we were, and best friend pretended she didn't know.
Mother in law was talking about that. They've never I've
never heard of people by those names around here.

Speaker 1 (41:07):
It's like it's like the episode of the Ah. I
guess where Jim gets replaced.

Speaker 3 (41:11):
No, yeah, oh no, no, this is what the friend does.
She opens the door and she says, oh, Pe and
her husband, they've been dead for seventy years.

Speaker 4 (41:21):
Guess.

Speaker 3 (41:23):
Mother in law started staking up a house, but after
a few days must have realized we wouldn't be around
and stopped. We reported each instance to the police, adding
to our file. A few weeks after this, husband had
a work dinner where he was getting an award, a
pretty big deal, so his best friend and mine volunteered
to watch The Three Musketeers. We let them stay at

(41:44):
our house where best friend was staying, as mother in
law hadn't been around and we thought it would be fine.

Speaker 1 (41:49):
Wrong.

Speaker 3 (41:50):
It would have been around nine thirty. The kiddos were
asleep and our two friends were watching a movie together
when they heard something weird in the back room. They
went to investigate and found one of the windows open.
This was mid late winter, so it had definitely been closed.

Speaker 4 (42:05):
Dude, see now it so after she kidnaps the baby, Yeah,
I think the courts will be like, oh, I guess
we can give you the restraining.

Speaker 1 (42:11):
Order now, guesss crazy.

Speaker 3 (42:16):
They immediately went to the baby's room, which was actually
a spare room. Then my friend stayed there while husband's
friend went to search the house. Friend called the cops
while he went searching. About five minutes later, she heard
a whole f from upstairs, a holy f from upstairs,
and ran up to see what was happening. I'm shaking

(42:36):
as I type this. I still can't believe it. Mother
in law was in the old nursery upstairs. She had
two baby carriers with her. The two boyfriends kept her
in the in the room until the police came and
she was arrested.

Speaker 1 (42:50):
Nice.

Speaker 3 (42:51):
We got home shortly after and I was in nearer
hysterics after finding out what happened. Mother in law was
charged with breaking and entering and attempted napping. She'll probably
do jail time, but unfortunately the court's here moved really slowly,
so she hasn't even been sentenced yet. Oh my goodness,
get this woman off the streets.

Speaker 1 (43:12):
Come on, Australia, do better have a better legal system.
What is that?

Speaker 3 (43:16):
Her court date is coming up soon after this? We
obviously took the case back to court, and this time
the judge could hardly deny that she was a danger
to the children, so our request was granted. She was
released on bail, but under strict instructions to go nowhere
near us and not to contact any third parties about us.
Apparently she's thought she had a loophole and she sent

(43:38):
father in law around. This would have been around Christmas time.

Speaker 1 (43:41):
This stupid woman doesn't know what a third party is.

Speaker 3 (43:43):
She's like, oh, you thought you could keep me in
all third parties away, Well I'm gonna send a third party.

Speaker 1 (43:50):
She's like, she's like the lawyer from Arrested Development.

Speaker 4 (43:52):
But it's like the husband and wife can't be tried
for the same cry brilliant he.

Speaker 3 (43:59):
Base tried to guilt husband into letting him into the house,
pulling the whole is Christmas? Can't you forgive your old
man crap? Dear husband told them to buger off and
leave us alone. Cautera Raine says, this story is way
funnier when you remember the Australian. If I could do
a consistent Australian accent, I would have been doing it
the whole time.

Speaker 4 (44:19):
You're so right, though, it does become immediately funnier.

Speaker 3 (44:23):
We switched houses back and things have actually started to
settle down again. Our two best friends are now very
good friends. We're thinking maybe more, Oh my god, did
you did you? Did you set them up in a
really weird way.

Speaker 1 (44:37):
You're gonna get even more babies out of this situation.

Speaker 3 (44:39):
That's so funny. If like imagine you're talking to someone
you're like, oh, how did you to me? And they're like, oh, well,
our two friends were being stalked by their mother, so
we decided to take their house for a little while
and we just started, you know, getting really close, and
then she showed up and harassed es.

Speaker 4 (44:56):
She broke in through the window and we like helped
get her arrested by keeping her in the room where
she was going to steal the baby.

Speaker 1 (45:01):
You know, classic classic.

Speaker 4 (45:03):
Biby bibid that that story is so funny in Australia
and have.

Speaker 1 (45:10):
Been absolutely amazing.

Speaker 3 (45:11):
We had them both over for dinner to say thank
you and they were definitely vibing.

Speaker 1 (45:16):
Mmmm dude that well, yeah, they have shared experience.

Speaker 3 (45:20):
Yeah, that's sure trauma. Damon Bibas. I'm sorry again if
this isn't incoherent. Everything seems like a blurnout. Sometimes I
wonder if maybe it wasn't all some kind of weird dream. Anyway,
that's where we're at at the moments. I'm hoping mother
in law's trial will get bumped up and that she
won't be able to get out of doing time. Our
court here is more than a little biased, unfortunately, but

(45:43):
we'll see bias towards what Yeah, bias mother in law's.

Speaker 1 (45:48):
I think mother in law in the in the judge.
You go to the same church, but there seems like chill.
Who knows? Who knows what this mother in law did
for the judges? Yeah.

Speaker 3 (46:00):
Meanwhile, I'm going to try to relax and enjoy the
time with the little ones. Wow, they are little. They
seem to grow every day and are so precious. I
can't believe how lucky I am to have them. Update six,
But do you have any thoughts because this story is crazy?

Speaker 4 (46:18):
I mean my only thought is, uh, yeah, put him
in jail already.

Speaker 1 (46:24):
What are we doing? Yeah? Get them other jail. Bye,
straight to jail, right to jail. Uh Update six, John.

Speaker 2 (46:32):
Here, we're gonna get back to this juicy story, but
a quick three minute break of ads from our sponsors.

Speaker 3 (46:37):
Guys, I can't believe how long it's been since I
last wrote, and how much has happened.

Speaker 1 (46:41):
I don't even know where to begin.

Speaker 3 (46:44):
Firstly, I want to thank everyone who checked in on me,
and I'm sorry I didn't reply to everyone individually. I'll
try to reply to any comments or questions on this thread.
So mother in law, she ended up getting not much
more than a slap on the wrist.

Speaker 1 (46:59):
That's insane.

Speaker 3 (47:00):
How was she broke into your house and tried to
steal your babies? She got a community corrections order similar
to probation. I guess we were hoping for jail time,
but no such luck. We ended up having to go
to court to testify, which was draining, with the result
not worth it. After that, however, things settle down. Husband's

(47:21):
best friend and my best friend did start dating.

Speaker 1 (47:25):
Wow wait wait babies? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (47:30):
Also, how fun like your best friend and his best friend.

Speaker 1 (47:34):
It's pretty sick. Yeah, your best friend and mine. Now
you can.

Speaker 3 (47:37):
Always hang out with your best friend all the time,
going double days for your best friend.

Speaker 4 (47:44):
But what if they get in a fighter, they get
in a spat, and then y'all get in a spat because.

Speaker 1 (47:50):
Of their spats. Yeah, you take tricky might multiply.

Speaker 3 (47:55):
Yeah, they're still together and pretty happy. It's great, and
they're officially end the ones who would take the triplets
should anything happen to husband and me. They're so supportive
and I've been through that, been there through all this.
I can't think of them enough. Unfortunately, the CCO wasn't
enough to deter mother in law. She got it into
her head that she wasn't winning us against us because

(48:17):
Satan had our backs. Maybe he does, who knows. For
about three months we heard nothing. She didn't come near us.
We check the security footage. There were no flying monkeys,
no father in law. Everything was perfect, too perfect, a
little too quiet man. About five months ago, I got
a call from one of husband's aunts. She wanted to

(48:37):
know what had happened to the babies. What do you
mean what happened to the babies?

Speaker 1 (48:41):
Oh, yeah, that they didn't get kidnapped.

Speaker 3 (48:43):
She's like, hey, the baby's still there doing baby things.
Obviously I was really confused. The conversation went a bit
like this, Ali Halla Halla Pi Ali rp ipe o.
You got you gotta switch us so you can. Okay, guys,
you know it's good.

Speaker 1 (49:03):
It's und terrible. It's gonna be bad.

Speaker 3 (49:05):
I have never claimed to be able to do a
good accer. Hellai, Hey, I'm the first one.

Speaker 1 (49:10):
Helli hi ap hi, I'm fine island. I say sorry
here in news news are the babies. God, I can't
believe it after everything you went through. Not quite ship.
It's all in the back.

Speaker 3 (49:30):
It's in the back of the mouth in Columbia, I
locked in a really good accent and an Australian accent.

Speaker 4 (49:37):
No, big to the mouth, I'm not not. You were
too forward with the knives, not as hard.

Speaker 1 (49:46):
I'm not. I'm not quite chill sure, I'm not quite No,
it's still a little British. I'm not quite sure. I'm
not quite sure getting there. All right, let's see you.
I wouldn't never believed it, but then I saw the graves.
I died. Say anything I can do. I don't know
what you don't know. I don't know what you're talking about.

Speaker 3 (50:10):
What you.

Speaker 1 (50:13):
Don't know?

Speaker 5 (50:15):
How do you know what?

Speaker 1 (50:17):
Just lock in?

Speaker 7 (50:19):
I know, I know, little little second little thing.

Speaker 4 (50:30):
Mother in law told me about how they paced a
Why what Oh.

Speaker 1 (50:37):
This is a crazy conversation, by the way, what what
big go babe? Oh wait, that's the end.

Speaker 3 (50:43):
I couldn't heard it all up, promised my children were
not passed away, and asked her where the graves were
that she had seen. Apparently, there are two little memorial
stones in mother in law and father in law's backyard
and grave with my youngest two names.

Speaker 1 (50:59):
This is the changed that's absurd. I want to see
the picture, and I bet you tim box, AI say, I, actually, no,
it's not.

Speaker 4 (51:08):
No dude's They probably had these custom ordered and put
in their backyard because they are sick, twisted individuals.

Speaker 1 (51:17):
Oh my lord.

Speaker 3 (51:18):
If that isn't messed up, I don't know what is.
I immediately called husband and told them what Aunt had told me.
He didn't quite believe her, saying that she's probably lying,
but said he would swing by and see if he
could see them. I'd pointed out that that wouldn't be
a good idea, since we're trying to prove that we
want nothing to do with them. In the end, we
decided that it wasn't worth it to try and prove

(51:39):
anything by seeing if Aunt was lying or not. It
still bothered both of us, but as far as we
could tell, there's not a lot we could.

Speaker 1 (51:46):
Do about it.

Speaker 3 (51:48):
A couple of weeks later, the two boyfriend that I
see keep saying boyfriends, the two best friends were over.

Speaker 1 (51:53):
You should be saying BFFs.

Speaker 4 (51:56):
Maybe BF is for boyfriend. Maybe they don't think it's
going to be forever though, ewww the friendship the fFN
best friend for now?

Speaker 7 (52:06):
Ooh.

Speaker 3 (52:07):
A couple of weeks later, the two best friends were
over playing with the kids and giving me a chance
to hang some washing out. It was a warmest day,
so we were all out in the backyard together. We
had recounted the story to them and they both agreed
that if it isn't true, that's missed up. My best
friend was pretty ready to pull out a mission impossible

(52:28):
suit and get over there in the path and the
in the in the night, but we all agreed it's
not worth it.

Speaker 1 (52:34):
No, no, dude, I think it is worth it. I disagree.
I don't think you should let the sick deranged people
have a delusion that your children are buried in their backyard.
That would be yeah, absurd, something news, something needs doing.
Call the police about that, please.

Speaker 3 (52:52):
She did bring up a good point that we'll have
to be extra vigilant about making sure the kids understand
that they don't go anywhere with anyone they don't know,
especially as they get older. She explained the tricky people thing,
warning kids about people they.

Speaker 1 (53:05):
Know, not just strangers.

Speaker 3 (53:07):
We were halfway through this conversation when the doorbell rang.
Husband went to get it while the rest of us
stayed in the yard. He was gone for quite some time,
and when he finally came back.

Speaker 1 (53:17):
It was with.

Speaker 3 (53:18):
Two police officers.

Speaker 1 (53:20):
Eh ooh.

Speaker 3 (53:22):
They asked if they could talk to me, and I agreed,
a bit too stunned to do anything else. We went
inside and the AWE explained that there had been a
report of severe abuse going on in the house. Obviously,
I was shocked and started telling them about the CPS
visits and how we were cleared. But that wasn't what
it was about. No, Apparently I'm abusing husband, Like.

Speaker 4 (53:44):
Is there no checks in place to just I filter
out these repeated offender fake claims.

Speaker 1 (53:54):
What I'm confused about.

Speaker 3 (53:55):
It's less like, oh, they shouldn't be coming at all,
because I understand why they're coming, But.

Speaker 1 (53:59):
Like I feel like you would have you know, a
thing that's good.

Speaker 3 (54:05):
There's people calling about this place all the time, and
it's false claims.

Speaker 1 (54:08):
They do they do have that or they do in
the shades, I don't know. I guess they don't have it.

Speaker 3 (54:13):
In Australia, they explained that his mother had called them distraught,
begging to be allowed to help him to leave. She
told them husband had reached out to her to help
and I had repeatedly framed her until she was banned
from seeing us. She was terrified that husband was going
to end up passed away. I was so angry, but
realized flying off the handle probably wouldn't help my case.

(54:34):
As calmly as possible, I told them our story, starting
from when we told them we were having triplets. They listened,
took notes, and when I finally finished, I was in
tears and shaking, and they're sitting there.

Speaker 1 (54:44):
They're like, oh my god, this is crazy, this is
so crazy. Oh my god.

Speaker 3 (54:49):
They were really nice, explain that they had to look
into reports like this, but they didn't think anything was
wrong as and when they asked husband if he was
being mistreated by me, he laughed and pointed out how
small I am in comparison to him. They were about
to leave when I asked them about the graves. I
gave them a rundown of what Aunt said and asked
if there was anything we could do to confirm. They
said that, unfortunately, while it's creepy, it's not against the law,

(55:13):
and the best thing we could do is stay away.
And then the best and worst thing happened. Mother in
law came over to our house at about one am.
We have footage of her sprinkling water. We're assuming of
the holy variety over the lawn, kneeling and praying and
making the Sign of the Cross repeatedly. We don't check

(55:33):
footage every night, usually only if something disturbs us, so
this went on for several nights before we found it.
What made us check happened about five days after the
first time she came. We were woken on We were
woken in the middle of the night by a loud,
crashing noise. I went straight to the triplets, who were
sleeping soundly, while dear husband went downstairs. I also called

(55:56):
the police, because after everything, I'd rather do that than
a false alarm, and I was told it would be
about forty five minutes before anyone could get there. Forty
five minutes.

Speaker 1 (56:07):
What's the point at that point, don't even come.

Speaker 3 (56:09):
I'd be like, okay, well I might not be alive
by then, so thanks.

Speaker 1 (56:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (56:13):
They'd just be like, so we just were here to
assess the damage now or couldn't stop the breaking, And
then we all gave each other high fives.

Speaker 3 (56:21):
Husband came upstairs and said that one of the large
pot plants we have on the back of Rando was
knocked over. It's huge, not something that could be blown
over or tipped by someone something nudging it. We took
the triplets into our room and waited for the police.
They searched but couldn't find anyone. They dusted for fingerprints
around a few of the windows near the pot, but

(56:41):
again nothing. They guess someone was probably trying to use
it to reach a higher window and it fell over.
Husband had been loading the security footage and asked if
they would wait and watch it with us. Mother in
law obviously. She came into the backyard and peered through
some of the windows. She tried the back door, but
it was locked. She tried the downstores downstairs window locked.

(57:04):
She then tried climbing onto the plant and it tipped over.
Then she bolted by the way. You can bolt on
over to full episodes with stories just like this. Just
go to Spotify, Apple Podcast, or iHeartRadio and search a
pokey story time and there is a little bit.

Speaker 1 (57:21):
Left to the story.

Speaker 3 (57:22):
Yes, but uh, Durren says, why isn't the mother in
law getting arrested for violating this po I don't know.

Speaker 1 (57:28):
I don't know, man, I don't know.

Speaker 4 (57:30):
Like, why doesn't she have multiple arrests? I know it's
not illegal. To have the headstones. But it's freaking but
like it should be, like, uh, something needs to happen
with that that's so deranged, really freaky, Like they should
be forced to.

Speaker 1 (57:48):
Prove somewhere else that's farther away. Yeah, I don't know, Like.

Speaker 3 (57:52):
You gotta you gotta move countries. Now, those are the rules.

Speaker 1 (57:56):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (57:57):
The police officers aware of the abo anster immediately called
it in. Another caller went to her house, where apparently
she had been all night. When she found out about
the footage, she claimed she must have been sleepwalking. She
was hit with a hefty fine and given a last
warning next time prison. Since that day, we haven't heard
anything from them. I have no doubt that if they

(58:17):
find us, it'll start again. But for now, I'm just
glad for some peace and quiet. I'm sorry for taking
so long between updates. And that is the end of
that story. Man oh man, what so this freaking day.

Speaker 4 (58:32):
Really ended up with basically no concept thing happened.

Speaker 1 (58:36):
Literally, nothing happened. The relatives.

Speaker 4 (58:39):
I guess, like I imagine if these were strangers that
it would be way more severe. They would hope so,
but the fact that their in laws probably gives them
like you know, an unbelievable.

Speaker 1 (58:49):
Benefit of the doubt, which is absurd.

Speaker 3 (58:52):
Yikes, Yoosa, Sonny says, I have a box of grapes
out right now. This is interesting, very weird behavior.

Speaker 1 (58:59):
Nice. I just really want grapes. Wait now, A box
of grapes.

Speaker 3 (59:03):
Yeah, like one of those containers of grapes, like a
like a plastic.

Speaker 4 (59:07):
Box, a box. Oh yeah, okay, like plastic container. Sorry,
I'm used to the bagged grapes.

Speaker 3 (59:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (59:12):
Oh my god.

Speaker 3 (59:12):
I would love some green grapes right, cold green grapes
right now, not frozen.

Speaker 1 (59:18):
I want frozen. I cold green grape I'll freeze the
green grapes. Freeze green grapes all the time. It's like
a little it's like a little snack. But I don't
want those right now.

Speaker 4 (59:25):
Do people do that or is it the reptiles, the
reptilian lizard people?

Speaker 1 (59:31):
Maybe both?

Speaker 4 (59:33):
I'm sorry, I don't if you like frozen grapes, I
don't think you're a reptilian.

Speaker 1 (59:36):
I'm you're first, folks.

Speaker 3 (59:39):

end of this episode. So if you love us, make
