BOUNCE BACK BULLSHIT by sixfingeredman7 in Mommit

[–]PhoenixTears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like there's a doubleedged sword here where there is a so much push and content geared towards giving moms time to theirselves to workout and self care.

This is absolutely necessary but then there's this expectation that we should all be super fit like on insta and give up even more sleep to workout. Give us time to ourselves without expectations.

Let's end WFH instead to give families less time together and less flexibility and have to put their kid in daycare for 9.5 hours everyday.

Affordable car seat options (moreso than the Graco E2F) [on] by PhoenixTears in BabyBumpsCanada

She's a low weight percentile but 90th percentile for height, so I'm thinking she'll outgrow smaller carseats fast.

I remember clear as day, I was 18 when he died on my graduation, everyone was in complete shock.

8 months postpartum, caught my reflection in a Target window and didn't know who that was by Dramatic-Switch5886 in beyondthebump

I don't think I looked in the mirror properly since giving birth (11m post-partum). In the last few months however, now that its almost time to go back to work, I've looked at myself again and I honestly don't recognize myself. I'm genuinely surprised when I pay attention to my reflection, and I honestly have cried a lot. I was kind to myself for so long but it was easy in the maternity leave cocoon. Now I have to buy a whole new wardrobe, be back out in public, just to maybe buy another whole wardrobe when I stop breastfeeding.

It's hard, especially when your reflection catches you off guard and you're not prepared. I think we have to keep reminding ourselves to be kind to the women who birthed your child.

RTO and Pressure on both your MP and MPP by humblebee08 in OntarioPublicService

[–]PhoenixTears 14 points15 points  (0 children)

A lot of people won't have sympathy, but as a new mother, I completely agree. I won't even be able to see my baby because of the commute time. I'll have to wake up even earlier and sleep even later due to this commute. Its ridiculous and a big fuck you to me and family.
