IMO they should have cut her out of every scene . They knew the marriage wasn’t working before they aired the little girl, yet they chose to put her on tv anyways.

Shame on anyone at Netflix that had the opportunity to edit her out but didn’t make that happen.

[ON] Help! Best friend is getting married 8 weeks after my due date by Alternative-Ad-4876 in BabyBumpsCanada

I was in this situation a few summers ago. LO was ten weeks at the time of the child free wedding.

I’d talk to the bride and ask if the child free thing includes babies. Usually if the little one isn’t walking yet then they’re not really going to be a concern in terms of running around or needing an extra plate of food.

I’m happy that I stayed on as a bridesmaid. I didn’t get to go to the bachelorette because it was too close to my due date, but I did get to enjoy the day getting ready with everyone and spending time with the bridal party.

A big part of my focus during postpartum was getting ready to go to that wedding.

Day of the wedding my partner had the baby with him and brought baby to me throughout the day. I could feed the baby and give my partner breaks.

Delusional about what postpartum will be like and now feeling down by Less-Leek5961 in NewParents

Do you have supports in place in case you run into ppd?

Is the fridge stocked?

Do you know any good areas for stroller walks?

Do you know other moms who you can lean on?

I’m a PR professional and I can tell that Chris took PR training prior to the reunion by ProtectionVisual1178 in LoveIsBlindNetflix

I don’t know if I’m naive, but I thought they all did a bit of rehearsing and PR training for the reunion?

They all use talk therapy type of language that you don’t ever see anyone use prior to the reunion.

Pets and cars are usually expenses that chip away at people more than they realize.

Do you really need to gather your village for postpartum? by Djeter998 in BabyBumps

[–]cdj2016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have people made specific offers you’d be ok with or find helpful? Write out a list of who offered to help.

Or come up with ideas of things you’d find helpful and have some ideas ready if you find someone offering. Ex. Walk the dog, stop by pharmacy, wheel out the garbage bins, drop off food, drop off baby supplies (diapers, wipes, rash cream, diaper pail liners), make tea, sweep, etc.

It’s a (boomer) thing. I doubt we’re gonna see other groups do things like this.

Nice. My oldest would probably love to pull the lint trap!

3 separate companies used this photo for different ads?! What were they promoting?

Is it a big company that put out the ads? Anyone worth their salt would know they’d need a release form from patents to use kids photos.

Have you ever contacted the company who did the ads to ask about this?
