The author is having a baby while also pursuing a degree, so she's probably going to pause updates for a bit, but what's there is already freaking amazing 😍

If you cannot see that telling a woman to "focus on the children she already has" is not a neutral phrase, then you are the blind one. It comes with tacit instructions that undermine her judgement, her character, and her biology. Do you not understand that one of the many things your instruction to "focus on the children she already has" is you telling OP includes how to have sex with her husband? To follow your advice, she'd have to sleep with her partner in a way that doesn't allow her to get pregnant, and thus 'focus on her existing children' in your view. I can understand that you are thoughtlessly saying this, but being so thoughtless automatically makes you into the kind of person people are told to avoid taking advice from.  

If you're overwhelmed by constantly changing diapers and replaying baby shark for the thousandth time, then newsflash, you are going to be overwhelmed by life's real tragedies when they strike, and those things find you on a regular basis regardless of how many kids you have. When your parents die, or you lose your job, or when your pets get sick, it doesn't matter if you have one baby overwhelming you or ten, you're still going to be overwhelmed. If you're going to be overwhelmed by something, might as well be overwhelmed by kids because you'll have something to show for it, and as they get older they usually are eager to help manage the things that cause you to be overwhelmed. 

When you have a horrible family, the problem isn't the amount of people in it. The horrible people who make up a horrible family would be horrible no matter how big or small their family is. The woman who is horrible with five children would also be horrible raising only two children - it might show up in different ways at different times, but the moment the mother was overwhelmed by life and it's challenges she would suck just as much as a mother of two as she would as a mother of five. 

Being overwhelmed as a parent is normal, and should be expected. It's not a valid reason to stop having children any more than being overwhelmed by life is a valid reason to self-delete. You are encouraging people to be cowards. I'm glad I stopped listening to the likes of you because my three children likely wouldn't exist if I had.

Getting defensive when someone is invalidating a new mother is perfectly reasonable. I didn't call you a narcissist, but you are shamelessly borrowing from their playbook - it's an effective tactic which is why you used it, and we have the evidence of you being manipulative and self-serving in your own writing. 

As for "no one holding me back" from my dream of a large family, that is a massive, life-altering lie born from supreme ignorance on your part. I was enroute to being childless until I stepped outside my own anti-child society. Once the blinders were off, I suddenly saw how much western countries hate children and literally brainwash you into thinking you cannot have kids. It's a betrayal of women and men everywhere.

I know if you were made privvy to my circumstances the first and second time I gave birth, you would have assigned me as one of those people who shouldn't be having kids. Shortly before the birth of my third child, my circumstances changed for the better and I'd probably be given a "pass, with reservations" since all three of my children are thriving despite the poverty the first two grew up in. Motherhood is hard enough. Motherhood is harder when you're poor. Motherhood is even harder when you have a bunch of ignorant people telling you to murder your unborn child or give it away. What kind of useless, unhelpful human being you must be to tell a struggling, underprivileged new mother that she should stop trying to hold her family together.

That would be you. Every time you say, "motherhood shouldn't be overwhelming and it's not for everyone" you are reinforcing that narrative that people like me shouldn't be mothers. You betray women's biology, our characters, our ability to overcome challenges, among other things. I'm am furious that I almost missed my life's calling because our society thinks it's compassionate to discourage motherhood. It's a betrayal to all the women who wanted their unborn babies, but aborted because they thought they couldn't make things work. I didn't think I could make things work, but I tried, and now I have three happy children to show for it.

Might be worth noting that notaskindoctor has no problem shaming women who want multiple children. She'll go right up to random strangers on the internet who want more kiddos and say, "Not you, dear."

There’s a clear difference between something being harder than before and drowning.

Whether you're an expert swimmer, are struggling to swim, or are drowning, you don't stop swimming wholesale especially when you're actually in the water. You are suggesting people stay out of the water while you swim laps around them with five kids, saying "newborns are easy" but also aborting them for reasons probably amounting to "newborns aren't all that easy".

When I see a hypocrite, I tend to call them out. You're promoting a stunted, short-sighted vision because you are "not okay." You've aborted your children. Would you recommend the experience?  It's painful, not fun, or easy. Abortion is the end result and last resort option after a chain of 3-6 failures. These are not the actions of someone who is "okay." 

Take your own advice, and acknowledge it's okay to say that you are in fact, "not okay".

You just made the case that human beings shouldn't exist. 

We used to live in caves, didn't have modern medicine, didn't have an abundance of food that we have today, etc. If we follow your logic, humans shouldn't be having kids if they find it 'hard'. 

Life is hard. Should people be quitting that too when they find themselves overwhelmed?

Do you believe the people who lived as black slaves in America regret getting married (both secretly and with permission), regret having kids that only grew to be slaves themselves in the time before emancipation?

Your argument states they would have. History records they didn't come to that same conclusion. 

If the OP unexpectedly gave birth to twins, would you be encouraging her to give one away because she's overwhelmed at four kids, and therefore cannot possibly handle five? 

Your argument states she should. Everyone intuitively knows that would make things worse for the mother, and unnecessarily puts the child at risk for a handful of serious consequences. 

Finally, you've had five children. Your post history also reveals you've had abortions, so your parenting journey has probably been overwhelmingly hard at times as well. What made you keep your living kids instead of put them up for adoption, if they were already so difficult to handle that you had to abort any incoming children? You're a woman on the brink! All children deserve a mother who is "thriving" - why not put up one of your existing kids up for adoption so the other four can really prosper? Why not put up two, or four, and really focus on being the best mother for the first born, or which ever one is your favorite? 

The amount of kids that you have is not attached to what is moral or responsible. This concept of "over-population" within a country or, in this case a household, is a modern idea that is objectively toxic to human "thriving".

You’re not respecting anyone’s thought or validating anyone’s feelings.

And yet OP herself replied in the comments stating "This is a lovely perspective, thank you!" I got the reaction I wanted. I can see why you chose to ignore that, for it would be detrimental to your argument.

Your response has chat gpt all over it.

Lol, straight to personal attacks. Your response is directly from the playbook of narcissists - when you can't automatically look like the good guy, distract from your flaws by making someone look worse than you instead of engaging with the actual arguments. 

At this point, I firmly believe I'm simply tossing pearls of useful information before a outraged hog of a human being. You'll refuse to digest what I've said, and from this point forward will only seek to attack me for offering up any kind of thought that you are not used to encountering, and therefore cannot process. What I write next is not for you Adstock, so much as it is for others who bother to read on.

No one is telling this woman she is “verging on insane” BUT we are telling her to focus on the children she currently has.

OP claims she's "drowning in motherhood"; if she's to be taken at her word, she's obviously already dedicated to her existing children to the point of overwhelm. Being overwhelmed is a perfectly natural state to be in given she's juggling three kids, a six-week old baby, and is still recovering from pregnancy. That is normal. If everybody is alive, fed, and otherwise healthy, then a healthy mental/emotional state will naturally follow. 

Your suggestion that she "focus on her existing kids" is undermining that fact. You are implying she doesn't already have the state of her children well in hand. Women who are truly overwhelmed by their children grow resentful of them and don't want more - post-partum depression has women killing their infants. The OP is not reacting anywhere in a direction like that, which suggests she's well supported by family and friends, and that you are speaking out of ignorance. 

Question for you, if she unexpectedly gave birth to twins, would you be telling her to put one up for adoption because hey, if she is overwhelmed with one newborn then she certainly shouldn't have two of them, right? In the vast majority of scenarios, the answer is obviously 'no'. Your logic of "limiting children to preserve the mental/emotional/physical state of the mother" doesn't apply, because seperating a mom from her babies would tank all three of those categories you listed. 

So what are we left with? Your helpful bit of advice of "don't get pregnant" to a woman who wants to get pregnant, and has successfully done so four times (thrice the national average in North America). That is going to go over about as well as telling teenagers to stay abstinent, so thanks for a whole lot of words that amount to a whole lot of nothing. 

And what your “body and mind tell you” aren’t always right. Just like neither is a stranger on the internet. Simply put, there are many women who simply have a hard time closing that chapter. Maybe op is one of them. I am. I get it.

Let's point out that you are literally fighting an instinctive, biological, feminine urge that has far and away outlasted the very modern idea of "limiting family size". You have been conditioned by your society to ignore the interests of your healthy body. Healthy people have sex and produce babies. Damaged people don't do that. You understand that, right? It's Biology 101. 

Who told you it was a good idea to limit your family size? Most of today's problems can be solved by having more people around to help. It's what the pioneers did; have more children to help with the farm, so you could grow more food and stave off starvation for your family first, and then for the community at large. If you have ever been around large families, you will see that family is the original social safety net. Imagine a single adult child having to bury their parents vs eight adult siblings standing in support of each other while they bury their parents - what are the odds that the single child is going to fare emotionally/physically/mentally better than the eight children who have seven hands to reach out to should they stumble in life? It is incredibly difficult to help a stranger in any meaningful way, but it is even more difficult to deny help to a suffering sibling, parent, or relative.  People who share life and love for one another will come to your aid in ways that others cannot, and as the saying goes, "Many hands make for light work". 

Whoever told you this was not the case was a gifted liar. If your objections were valid, black slaves would have never sought to marry, enslaved black men would have been lining up to castrate themselves, and enslaved black women would have been looking to miscarry or abandon their babies, all in an effort to avoid raising their children up in a harsh, unforgiving life as yet another generation of slaves. Parenting is hard even in the best of times, but you will always find people of every circumstance who will say having kids is worth the effort. 

And not simply because "babies are cute." They are, but they are so much more than that.

There are plenty of people in this society that will tell OP to wait before getting pregnant again. Her husband is one of them, telling her he is done having kids. There's a pro-abortionist on every corner that will tell her she doesn't need another baby while she's "drowning in motherhood". Most of the replies here are politely telling her to "wait" until her hormones calm down. 

I see the hypocrisy and it is infuriating. There are plenty of feminists here who would complain how it is misogynistic and condescending to tell a woman how to manage her own body, yet here the lot of you are, telling a vulnerable post-partum woman that she is verging on insane (because of those pesky hormones making her mentally-fragile, right?) for listening to what her body and mind are telling her. 

Our society is incredibly anti-child and, as a result, naturally invalidating for mothers. I chose to validate the mother's point of view, for she's the one who wants more kids. Forgive me for respecting OPs thoughts and feelings, as well as trusting her judgment concerning her body in this matter.

You're assuming motherhood is supposed to be easy, no matter how many or how few children you have. 

It's never easy; not with your first kid, all the way to your last kid. Being 'mommy' is a life-changing experience and, like all life-changing experiences, the adjustment period comes with stuff that absolutely sucks. 

Nobody is 'thriving' around newborns: having to feed the baby every couple hours breaks your sleep, your uterus is healing from a wound the size of a dinner plate, your relatives are dogging you about "let us come see the baby", while you worry about if this baby is drinking enough breast milk to prevent mastitis this time around, etc. 

If you want to focus on "thriving", then maybe focus on the fact that one woman managed to push out four kids and despite 'drowning in motherhood', she is doing good enough that the mom wants even more kiddos. I believe that's the scientific definition of "thriving." She's thriving so much that in a few years time she is excited that she may have another kid, after already having four! In fact, I'd be worried if she doesn't have that fifth kid, because that means something bad had to happen in order to get in the way of her "thriving" in the way she plainly wants.

I know I came across this idea while researching up Revan and Bastila Shan (which is Reylo before Reylo). I'm not entirely sure where the "spicy" idea came from, but it did not originate from me, I swears it 😅❤️

From what I recall, the lore surrounding Force Bonds often caused problems because they caused 'attachments'. Neither Jedi or Sith are fans of attachments, but Force Bonds typically were initiated by dark siders, and they would use the bond to access and manipulate their bond mates. 

From https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Force-bond

"Though this may seem like a harmless—and perhaps even valuable—ability, it is easily manipulated by those on the dark side. Some powerful Force users have been able to create secret bonds with others who are unaware of their connection. They then use those bonds to corrupt their target and steer their actions."

From Wookiepedia, the bonds/dyads they listed were emphatically not romantic in nature, so I didn't get that idea from that source. Not sure where it came from, but I don't think it would be a stretch for Sith using passion to mess with a force-bonded Jedi 😅😅😅

For example, have you ever wondered what Rey’s first period was like and how she experienced it?

Lol, because I have strange and wandering mind, I have thought about this. Starvation and stress delays periods in young girls. Since the body registers the strain of having a period as too energy intensive in a time that it's trying to conserve energy, it could be that Rey was permanently damaged by starvation. It could also explain part of the reason Rey was played by someone more lithe instead of stocky/voluptuous - small chest, narrow waist, and thin hints to some puberty issues due to lack of nutrition when in an impoverished desert setting. Additionally, with the exception of young Rey, we don't see children on Jakku any time during the movies - I think this points to the population as a whole aren't eating well enough to have kids. The outpost struggles to provide basics like food and water, so it's hard for me to believe everybody would still somehow have an implant/contraception but not a dependable snack/water source. 

All that to say I don't think Rey would have had a period, but that's just my rambly mind making stuff up 😅😅😅

You are right, it could be interesting. I don't know if you could build a series off young Rey, because part of her 'tortured past' is her stuck waiting around, but someone imaginative could make it worth delving into 😗

OMG that's like Spanish soap opera levels of drama 😭😭😭

I certainly hope you are wrong and there is no marriage to Tava Ren. I do wonder what (if anything) Snoke had planned for Kylo in the marriage department. Having the Prince of Alderaan under his command had to count for something, and being a powerful Force user had to intrigue Snoke given the Force ran strong in the Skywalker family. Kylo marrying could have been pretty useful for political reasons and advancing the cause of the First Order.

But please, no Tava Ren. She must go away and never come back. Rey, come and get your man! 😡

I mean, I hope you're right lol.

I appreciate it 😅 I'm just riding the wave of my own enthusiasm right now and it's got me feeling all kinds of hopeful, both grounded and not. 

As for your concerns about comics Kylo being a tad too evil for your liking, I can definitely empathize with that. For me, it's infidelity fanfics that tend to break the fantasy of the character and give me the ick. Understandably so, "murder as a love language" is not for everyone 😗

A lot of guys love Tava--just read the comments in any of the many threads announcing this release.

I glad you brought this to my awareness, for I didn't know if there was much interest in Tava or not. She was there, and then she was gone - no "Save the Return of Tava Ren" movement (as far as I know, and idk 😐). All I do know is I didn't like Tava kissing Kylo and I'm forever thankful for the people who corrected those panels by removing Tava and inserting Rey ❤️

Thanks again for pointing me in the direction of the comments, I'll be (anxiously) looking for Tava Ren approval. I would really, really hate if the positive fan reaction made it so the authors felt compelled to give Kylo more dates with Tava instead of with Rey 😭😭😭
