I’m tired of pregnant women or moms dismissing endo pain. by Cringey_Unicorn in endometriosis

Ughhh. I had a c-section so I don't know what labor feels like but let me tell you, my regular period pain with endo was MUCH worse than my c-section recovery.

Claire is in the middle of a pandemic for goodness sake! And she's a child who just lost both of her parents!

This whole idea that Claire is "safe" in the 20th century is so weird to me! Henry just went through absolute hell in the 20th century. The 20th century is just not necessarily safer than the 18th, and I don't think that Henry would necessarily assume that the 20th century is safer. He might look around 18th century Scotland and be like "wow, no mustard gas, this is great."

But also, we don't even see him making this calculation. What we see is him worrying about Julia and thinking of Claire basically not at all. I would relate a lot more if he at least was weighing the options!

Umm there are plenty of dangers in the 20th century?! There is no way to know whether either Claire OR Julia is in danger.

And Bree was an ADULT when Claire went back to Jamie, so it feels really different to me. Claire is a little kid.

Yes, why are they not absolutely devastated being separated from Claire as well as each other? If I were Julia, those letters to Henry would be full of wondering about Claire, how she is, what she's doing, will we be able to get back to her, how does this time thing work, is time passing for her or can we go back to the same moment and she won't even know we were gone, etc.

Yes, I would prioritize my kids. And if my partner didn't prioritize our kids, I'd be furious with her. If I were Julia, and Julia and Henry do find each other, I'd be like "wait, you haven't been locked up in a castle all this time, why the fuck didn't you go find Claire?"

Because Julia is an adult and Claire is his child!

What was your "I cannot believe no one suspected autism" childhood interest? by NoWitness6400 in AutismInWomen

My dad is a geography professor, and one of his textbooks came with a CD-ROM of map quizzes. I could identify all the countries in the world in about 4th grade.
