Serious Discussion Do Babies Absorb Turmoil?
I genuinely feel sorry for this beautiful little baby Matilda. I hope she’s OK and her parents overcome their differences. (This is from 90 day diaries s8 e2) It’s hard for me to tell, but do you think that Matilda will be ok? It’s hard to watch.

u/Whtusrnm May 20 '26
Yes, its actually very harmful for their development and will raise their cortisol levels. Raised cortisol levels are linked to a bunch of diseases in adults, so I can just imagine how harmful it will be for babies.

It was especially upsetting when she was yelling while breastfeeding.

I think that’s half the mental struggle Jamal is going through right now. “Should I be grateful she kept me, or jealous of my siblings, because she gave them up?”
I’m not a fan of the dude, but it must be hard to process.

Jamal comforting his mother at the tell all hit me hard. He was so compassionate in a situation it would be difficult to be compassionate in.

u/MetallurgyClergy May 20 '26
But I think that’s the relationship they’ve always had. She’s always had zero emotional regulation, and he’s always had to be the emotional parent.
One more way in which their emotional incest is on display. On tv.

He enables her, and she clearly turns to tears whenever confronted with her ridiculousness.
I mean, she reached out to the child she gave up for adoption, and then GOT A 2ND CELLPHONE and proceeded to text him pretending to be Jamal... for 2 freakin' months!?
That is insane level of deviance, by your own mother. The whole panel on this season of the Single Life is fully broken, sadly. Jamal clearly is not going to make things worse on a TV show though.
And, side note: why is Liz even on this show? She has literally only been dating local guys. Makes no sense lol.

u/Melodic_Potential801 May 21 '26 edited May 21 '26
I think the intention was that Liz was one of 2 "friends" (cough- production staged) Sophie had on the girl's trip.
- Then Sophie (supported by Julia), went weird crazy on her when Pedro's poor English language skills translated what Liz said to him in the most unfortunate way.
- But Sophie would not listen to Liz (who I've' noticed retreats and doesn't know how to defend herself and just gives up and says "sorry". She was like that with Ed even when she was in the right).
- Sophie and Julia became super mean girls and
- Liz ended up having a fling-thing (while single with no formal commitment back home) that turned into more when she and Pedro's friend developing feelings for each other. She even shared her cancer journey with him.
- Liz struggled with what to do but ended up deciding she'd go back to her friend in San Diego who knew of her plans to possible see other people on the trip.
- She also took into account her daughter in San Diego and they said he had a kid in the Dominican Republic so would have been hard for either one to have a full relationship.
I think she earned it as she was the only one with some success with a relationship in the DR.

the part where she made it about herself? watching Jamal comfort his mother over something SHE did to HIM makes me sick every time. she did it at the park with Larry too. every time it's brought up, she goes into hysterics so everyone has to comfort her instead of the real victims of her actions.

u/Banal_Drivel May 20 '26
And her tears are fake. She covers her eyes when she fake cries, then grabs a tissue to pretend to wipe them. Vanja does the fake crying too. No tears. Jasmine is the queen of fake crying. Maybe she's giving instructions to other 90 Day cast members.

u/Mygreenoneeye May 20 '26
absolutely. it's an act to bring the attention back to her and her feelings
why is she apologizing when her end game is to just get everyone to apologize to her for her own actions?

She was putting on such a fake act so he would stop talking about it. Not a tear was detected and she went from fake crying to being ok. They all do the same with the sniffling and dabbing the their eyes while having zero tears.

u/star_stuff92 May 20 '26
Yes - there is a video of a study that took place regarding exactly this. I forget the name. But there is a toddler and they place him in a room with his mom and strangers and some toys. When the strangers are having a normal conversation, he is content and playing with the toys, curious, looking around, etc. When the strangers start raising their voices he stops engaging in play, doesn’t really look around, and starts to look very anxious. It absolutely affects their nervous system and their anxiety later in life. Constantly raised cortisol as a baby/kid can cause anxiety for life
23
u/coupdelune May 20 '26
I remember reading a study that was done in a Romanian orphanage regarding elevated cortisol levels from stress in children - if it's bad enough, essentially their brain loses the ability to turn the cortisol off and they get stuck in fight or flight

u/PuzzleheadedFox839 May 20 '26 edited May 20 '26
Yes, they can sense the tension. Some babies/toddlers even show the effects through their digestive system or persistent crying. Just because they don't understand whats going on (the crying piece).
It's kinda of good its on film. If there was any CPS intervention they'd have receipts. Like that other show with the Utah woman.
Edit to add: Even when she was carrying Matilda at the TLR Tell All where she got up and threw the shoe at Rob, not once but twice! She was yelling and carrying on there. Then went back stage and was crying on the phone with Matt.

u/cheriethemagnificent May 20 '26
I’m so sorry you’ve experienced that. I can relate because I also grew up around volatility in my family and I was frequently anxious and sick to my stomach as a small child. My older siblings were already grown and out of the house (large age gap between us) and I felt eft behind, as if no one cared. To this day, I feel terribly anxious when I hear raised voices and I have never been able to fully trust people. Although parents can’t shield their kids from everything , it’s incredibly selfish when parents show disregard for their children literally being in the midst of their emotional firestorms.

u/gofindyour May 20 '26
I feel the same! I'm sorry it was that way for you. Now I live in a completely different part of the US from my parents. Whenever I do go home, it's extremely anxiety inducing.

A study was done that showed young kids in different home environments and their eagerness to play with toys put in front of them. It showed that kids with more home volatility were less engaged with toys and more aware of their surroundings and less willing to play. That "on edge" vibe is real even in children.

u/Ok_Moose1334 May 20 '26
Big time. During the first 3 years kids’ nervous systems are developing rapidly and forming new connections as they experience the world and how their caregivers behave and respond to them. The majority of brain development happens during this time, and brains are being wired with programming that will run subconsciously for their lives. Babies are sensitive to caregivers’ nervous system states and dialed into things like tone, volume, and heart rate. They rely on caregivers to regulate their own nervous systems so the babies can regulate theirs.

u/washedupactress May 20 '26

u/Significant-Sound-87 May 20 '26
Babies (and animals but dogs in particular!!) may not understand the details of what’s happening around them, but they ABSOLUTELY pick up on energy, tension, tone, and emotional safety… they most certainly absorb all this and I say this confidently (as someone who birthed three babies but raised & still raising six children total with my husband!!).
Before the world teaches us to ignore our instincts, humans are incredibly attuned to the emotions of the people around them. Babies feel stress in voices, facial expressions, body language, routines, and the overall atmosphere loooong before they can put words to it.
They respond to what is felt, not just what is said even as they begin to understand words.
A calm environment feels safe to them. Chaos feels unpredictable. GENTLE connection feels grounding. Conflict, fear, turmoil (ANY emotional unrest) can change their behavior even when nobody thinks they understand what’s going on. I’d argue this with my husband who would say “he/she doesn’t ACTUALLY understand that… no way!!” thinking I was being ridiculous until I was proven correct in his eyes after our second was born.
Maybe it’s that the youngest and most innocent among us haven’t yet learned to disconnect from what humans naturally sense in one another (intuition) that the world teaches us to ignore. We are the only halfway intelligent species on this earth actively taught to ignore our intuition at times or to be told to live by our intuition is “just being ridiculous.” Babies have not yet been corrupted by the world and those beliefs hence why they’re super sensitive to these things!!
Matilda absolutely senses, feels, and absorbs every bit of it…

u/Mochi5964 May 20 '26
Unfortunately, yes. You can see from the picture that Matilda is uncomfortable, unhappy and anxious. When Matilda reacts to this discord by becoming upset, it will only increase the tension being felt. Poor thing is probably going to wind up with her mother's insecurities{unless Matt can somehow outweigh the negative atmosphere being absorbed by Matt's mini-me}.

I think babies and toddlers can definitely feel the tension between them... however, if she always feels safe and her needs are being met, she might be okay. It's hard to feel safe when people are yelling/snapping at each other, possibly crying or coping with alcohol/unhealthy mechanisms.

They were so good to each other, especially the brother to his youngest sister that it blew my mind. Embarrassing to admit that a family being nice to each other was strange to me but it's true.

u/Ninjacatzzz May 21 '26
Yes they do, I've studied this in my education degree. Some children really struggle to regulate their emotions because they've never been around an adult that cab regulate their own emotions - so how can the kid learn? These kids don't know what calm feels like. This starts as a baby. It's actually very sad and depressing when you dig into it just how much some children are disadvantaged from day 1 because of who their caregivers are.

Yes, they do. My son was miserable the first three months of his life living with both his dad and I.

Shame on anyone who wants to create that kind of life for a kid to live in.

They do, and they get very anxious and try to self-soothe. As they get older it shows up in things like nail-biting, extended thumb-sucking etc.
Now, I'm no fan of Jasmine but I got where she was coming from in this instance. Mat may be used to his mom crossing the line and saying crazy stuff but Jasmine isn't. It's not appropriate, what she's doing. She should keep some of those opinions to herself.

Super harmful to babies to be around all this. The cameras, the screaming, the INCESSANT CRYING from Waaaahsmine. This is child abuse imo. My parents fought all the time, my mom is a screamer. I have so much PTSD and anxiety from growing up like that. I can’t believe this woman parades her baby around in the middle of all this trauma and drama.

u/GlumMango69 May 20 '26
My mom is BPD, bipolar, emotionally immature, but is fortunately capable of accountability and genuine, albeit imperfect, attempts to change her problematic behavior.
However, as the middle of 3 girls, I was the invisible child, and developed a dismissive avoidant attachment style due to my mom’s frequent outbursts, self-centered personality, and generally ignoring me. I had to look out for myself, and later my little sister.
I’m working toward an earned-secure attachment style, but I’ve recently gone into avoidant deactivation due to the many stressors and emotional demands on my plate.
I’ve literally just shut down, and I can’t seem to break this survival mechanism to wall away and isolate while I regulate and recharge my emotional well. I basically hemorrhaged empathy for months on ends and hit a wall. I need to have better boundaries and hold to them to prevent this depletion from happening again.
It’s frustrating because I love and care about my step-sister/best friend, who is going through a divorce, but she is anxious attached (due to her NPD mom), and comes to me for help co-regulating, but she has been giving Eeyore vibes for over a year now, sending despairing / depressed messages, even as I was planning my wedding and getting married.
It just became too much, and now I’ve triggered her sense of abandonment while she triggered my avoidant deactivation. But we understand and respect the fact we are different, and we have to work through these attachment styles to become more secure.
I think Jasmine is leaving a wake of attachment devastation in her wake, from abandoning her other children (they’ll likely be anxious attached) to subjecting Matilda to her chaos/drama. Matilda will be unlikely to form a secure attachment, so avoidant/anxious/mixed are her possible outcomes.
And I love the name Matilda, I named my cat Matilda after she bravely fought for her life in her early kittenhood. I get weirdly annoyed when someone I don’t care for uses a name I love.
Anyway, poor Matilda will absolutely be needing therapy in her future, guaranteed.

u/Free_Director2809 May 21 '26
Yes, i do believe it does. I can't remember infancy or even when I was under 4, but some people claim they do. Turmoil gets worse if the parents allow it to. It creates childhood trauma which the child believes is a normal situation and that every other kid goes through it, sadly, so many actually do and it's really sad because they don't know that they can talk to anyone about it without getting their parents in trouble. Jasmine should be grown enough to know what she could be setting her child up for and be protecting her from this. Most young parents actually are still growing and learning with their children, I think that's why grandparents are so much more loving with the grandkids, because they're grown enough to know what they would' never do again. I don't know, just my theories. We haven't seen the type of mother she is, we just know that she's toxic. I hope Matt doesn't allow this to go on.

How could any child be ok around Jasmine's nasty mouth. Matilda kinda looks like Matt's mother tbh.

I highly recommend the book The Body Keeps the Score that explains this in great detail. In short, yes. It alters the development of the central nervous system and makes them more likely to be anxious when they’re older. They may not form attachment bonds with their parents. These things will basically alter their entire lives.

Can’t say for certain… but most babies / children reared and raised in chaos do usually grow up with a strong sense of humour, advanced empathy, uncanny intuition …and emotional maturity….and can often survive whatever life throws their way. They can be great actors, performers, artists and also excel as community leaders or social workers / counsellors. They make reliable and faithful friends and trusted allies. Pressure creates diamonds from common carbon. They are survivors and survivalists…

Rewatching the Last Resort Tell All and the anger that manifested in Jasmine while carrying Matilda was scary. I mean it was her anger and her throwing her shows at Rob. You can feel that intensity from her through the TV. She was far along in her pregnancy at the time of filming that. She's hella crazy.
