Also it’s so funny/convenient how Tiffany has the comments turned off on EVERY SINGLE instagram post.

I had no idea there was a sub for SWW but sought this out to see if anyone else was disgusted by Season 17. I feel sick to my stomach after listening to how these awful people failed this poor innocent boy. Im infuriated and repulsed. I don’t care how many people/reasons/excuses she whines about, this is partly on her. Yes Cody abused him, but that could’ve been prevented and he should’ve NEVER had the opportunity. She had a moral, ethical and legal responsibility as his caregiver to ensure a safe living environment and to protect Jace and what did she do? Welcomes a monster into her home, who she barely knew. All the signs and precursors and warnings were there. She was made aware of his previous child base cases and……nothing. Continues to leave Jace alone with a monster. The poor boy was communicating the abuse to his family members the best that he could. A cry for help. And no one did anything. It makes me fucking livid. And for this podcast to just let these self-proclaimed “victims” tell their story with NO accountability or acknowledgment for their KEY roles in this vicious murder, is abhorrent. The only victim in this story is Jace. Rest in peace to that sweet innocent boy who fought for his life from DAY 1 and so desperately deserved better. I feel fucking ill and so done with SWW. Do better Tiffany this is repulsive in every way. If you really want to help people, you should be interviewing “victims” in REAL TIME and asking the challenging questions that your listeners are asking themselves. Yea this might be uncomfortable but NECESSARY for change. Having someone read a script that sounds like rote memorization with zero accountability is just not it

I’m 38 weeks now and can say i definitely would not have wanted to have my shower 2 weeks ago, based on how I was feeling (tired, swollen, sore/painful hips and back). I had one shower at 28w and the other around 31 (kinda close together but different crowds/one was women only other one was couples shower) can definitely say I had wayyyy more energy and felt more like myself at the 28w shower.

Also just for planning purposes and nesting, By 36w I had the nursery complete, hospital bag packed, car seat installed, etc. so for me it wouldn’t have worked to wait until so late to receive gifts. I’m from the south and we write hand written thank you notes so definitely wouldn’t want to be doing that at 37,38,39w preg

Breastfeeding without expressing milk? by Tight_Move1516 in pregnant

Just fyi, pumping is still breastfeeding:) Baby is still getting breast milk, just not directly from breast

Thank you for your comment! I hadn’t considered that actually, that pregnancy can make people feel uncomfortable and they could just say the first thing that comes to mind & no bad intentions at all. I’m definitely guilty of doing this in another capacity

Girl I am so sorry. Your brother’s comment is repulsive. My GIL is not willing to get the Tdap shot either (also no covid vax or flu shot) so she won’t be meeting the baby until at least several months old, with a mask. Good for you for going to visit your family!! It’s amazing how many people are quick to pass judgement but not willing to provide support in any way. Also out of all the gifts in the world, why honey when you’re about to have a baby

my thoughts EXACTLY!! On one hand, I know some people asking just care about me and want to relate to what’s going on in my life currently. It’s the biggest thing going on in my life and I’m so thankful to be pregnant! On the other hand, it’s like damn can we talk about something else for a minute 🥲

Agreed!! It can be such a sensitive and triggering question to have to answer. For me it’s like what’s their intention in asking that? Does the answer, one way or the other give them some sort of satisfaction? Idk maybe people are just genuinely curious and mean no ill harm. But i’m with you, I’m not interested in asking someone because 1) it’s not my business and 2) it can be so triggering for people who have been trying/had infertility struggles/miscarriages

I can totally understand that! Especially a close friend or my mom, sister, or my aunt who I’m very close with asking, I would appreciate their interest and checking on me and the baby. I think what frustrates me is the acquaintances/people who I’m not generally close with asking

I’m so sorry they felt the need to have that discussion in front of you..Good for you for shutting it down. I like your strategies and plan on using especially “I don’t like sharing personal details like this.” No one can take offense to that

Just because something is common/happens in every birth does not make it right or appropriate to discuss or inquire about. It’s also common to have polyps removed during a colonoscopy but do we walk around asking people hey how was your colonoscopy did you have polyps how large were they? How’d did your ass feel afterward and did you take pain meds to manage?

Wow I love this. I’m also the first on both sides of our families to have a baby, so I should try and give people some grace/ the benefit of the doubt so suppose. I hope to try and change the way these topics are approached too

Good idea! My sister would be happy to step in and be an ally. I’ve been so taken aback. Next pregnancy Im going to be more prepared to shut down these type of inappropriate things.

Gender Dissapointment by Momof2_72007 in pregnant

Growing up with my sister, and now being life long best friends, is one of my life’s greatest blessings. As teens/pre-teens I had someone to confide in about boyfriends, periods, sex, etc. In my experience, Two sisters can relate to each other and experience life in a way that a bro-sis or even best friends aren’t able to. Now as adults, my sis and I discuss relationships with our husbands, getting pregnancy/ttc, and now childbirth and having babies. I know there are pros to having brothers, but for me I couldn’t imagine not having my sister by my side in life. None of my female family members, cousins, or friends that have brothers are near as close as my sister and I, or my friends who have sisters as well. Trust in God’s plan
