Comedian Jaclyn Lore-Edwards grew up with two moms and a twin brother. On social media, she regales followers with the trials and tribulations of growing up with two moms (sometimes joined by her brother, Nick).
The videos lovingly rail on the parents the way any child would, and in doing so, make it clear how much love and gratitude Lore-Edwards has for growing up the way she did.

In one video, Lore-Edwards and her brother joke that they were “victimized by their moms” because they only had “health foods” in the house.
“When you have two moms who are eating nothing but nuts and ingredients, you go hungry,” she joked.

She also joked that their “bones were feeble” because their moms did not give them dairy milk.
In another video, they explain that everything they wore “had to have a purpose” and that “it was all function,” like cargo shorts and rolling backpacks, to avoid scoliosis.
But another video, overlain with text that declares, “Things about being raised by gay parents that would send conservatives into a coma,” Lore-Edwards praises her parents for how much freedom they gave her in expressing herself without gender constraints.
“Me and my brother were allowed to express ourselves whatever way we wanted,” she said. “We could dress however we wanted, we could ask to be called whatever we wanted to be called. I could get the boys’ kids meal, he could get the girls’ kids meal, they didn’t care.”
She then told a story about one summer when she dressed like a boy every single day and demanded to be called Jack. At the end of the summer, her parents asked her if she really felt like a boy, and she laughed, saying it was just her summer identity.
“If you think about it, that was actually pretty ahead of my time,” she joked. “That was pretty they/them of me if I do say so myself.”
She concluded, “My parents knew we were just figuring it out and we were going to become who we were going to become either way, whether they try to repress it or not.”
Lore-Edwards also answered frequently asked questions she gets about having two moms, and also told the story of how her moms spoke to her about her conception using a donor.
