Advice would be great: I had my dear old (and older) friend at my dentist today say " why would anyone bring a baby into the world the way things are?" when I had to tell them I was pregnant today. Is this what I have to look forward to the next 8months? How do you deal with people who are so negative about having children? I am so happy but I'm naturally nervous and I get that kids are no walk in the park, I'm a frggin teacher, but that comment really upset me...
Ive learned to just stay to myself, and avoid people who just have a negative outlook on things anyways. Cant bring that kind of negativity in my life. & especially at a time when I really dont need to hear it.
Anyone who thinks the way things are today is any worse than the way things have always been for the history of mankind is just ignorant. When I got pregnant my grandmother told me she hopes this is my last because of “the way the world is going” I was like uh... it’ll turn around when your ass croaks I’m sure! Lmao okay not really but people just don’t think before speaking sometimes
What do they mean with “the way things are”?
I’d be upset too❤️
She was talking about like environment and lack of resources or some BS...it was like she all of a sudden became an ecologist and not a dental hygienist🙄
@alourdes1, OMG! Yeah ummm I’d smile and nod and be like ok homie....Many of our grandparents were born into a world where they only had potato water in their bottles (like mine in Europe). My parents moved to Canada to provide us a better life and I’m proud to have children born in this day and age.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.

Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Ignore them
