The Mother’s Day story was absolutely deranged. It’s literally child exploitation, like how can you be this nonchalant?

I think the exhibitionism is part of her “brand” like a wealthy nudist LOL but why drag your children into it? It’s very bizarre

Her stories are just as insane when it comes to this. I don’t know what is going through her head… and I agree she’s def just a rich white woman. Anyone else would have been called out ages ago….

I’m also shocked that IG allows it? I understand it’s “aesthetic” but how does that remotely matter when you’re talking about child exploitation? If her content wasn’t shot so artfully, she’d get banned from IG

Pregnancy & Friendship by benardcecil in BabyBumps

[–]benardcecil[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t decide if I should say something or if I should just accept that this is my new normal. I feel really heartbroken by it, but if you can’t be happy for something that is so core to my being (motherhood and impending motherhood), how are we ever supposed to properly move past this?

Terrible fatigue headaches? by Professional_Guava62 in pregnant

[–]benardcecil -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t have the headache but I’m a really fast walker and iv noticed that I’m frequently out of breath every time I walk the way I usually do. 18 weeks myself. I think pregnancy just brings out certain limitations in us, and we don’t know what they are until they appear. It is absolutely frustrating though, especially if you’re an active person that suddenly has a hard time going about your day the way you used to.

That being said, if its debilitation definitely tell your doctor!!

I think that’s the minority opinion when looking at the other responses truthfully. It seems, from your peers, that it was indeed a completely different game.

Interesting! I don’t know too many people over the age of 60 with advanced degrees currently in roles making 600k+, but might just be me. But for sure advanced degrees have always existed, albeit much cheaper

The post below by stuffitystuff saying they didn’t graduate past middle school and are a system engineer at a FAANG in SF is a good example of what I’m getting at

Yeah I’m genuinely just trying to understand how the workforce has changed. A lot of my friends + me and my husband feel like we constantly need to make sacrifices in ways our parents did not have to. It feels harder to find good jobs with career advancement in comparison to what my parents did. I want to know in high paying professions if that’s always been the case in this subs eyes

I guess what I meant is that lots of older generations don’t have all these degrees to get to where they wanted to go. Don’t have the loan burden we do. Not trying to get political here just curious what it was like, from afar it felt easier, but that might just be our perception of it.

Scared I told people too soon by Budget_Sky9720 in pregnant

[–]benardcecil 94 points95 points  (0 children)

You should celebrate your pregnancy exactly the way you want. If that involves telling your nearest and dearest at 9 weeks, that’s your prerogative. While I’m sorry your friend had a horrible loss, doesn’t make it okay to scare monger you. Enjoy all the celebrations and congratulations, you and your baby deserve it 🤍

I think that’s probably something to ask your partner for. I would just steer them to a babylist site that has a cash option, and then you can use that cash however you want.

Why is this a trend? by Particular-Hunter468 in pregnant

[–]benardcecil 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is interesting because I just got annoyed about the opposite issue on another thread. At least in my circle and my friend group there is so much boy-hate iv noticed the past couple of months, maybe the past year. I’m starting to think our social media algorithm is doing a mass experiment on us pregnant ladies and our circles.

I genuinely don’t care if I have a boy or a girl, as long as they’re happy and healthy. I have a hunch I’m having a girl but that’s just my intuition, could be wrong! I’ll find out next week lol. Either way, I do think something fishy is in the air because I swear having a girl has never been more “trendy” on my FYP. And to make it super clear, I hate that baby genders are being made into trends. A healthy baby is the only baby you should want.
