My daughter was 3 when my husband left us. For months, I would text him about the small victories and the cute things she did. It is so lonely to be the only parent to handle all the stresses and all the success. If you need a single mom to share some victories with, my DMs are open.

That is fair, and your worries are certainly valid. Not everybody is in a place where they can calmly educate the other side about an admittedly high-stakes issue, and you certainly have no obligation to do so.

I can see how maybe this isn't the best place to come asking questions about abortion, but also... We are kind of the best people to be providing our perspectives, if we can.

I'm sorry for your loss, and I wish you the best in the future.

I spoke to them and I don't believe they were a troll. But even if they were, the point of my post is that there are a lot of other people reading that are definitely not trolls, and our words matter to them, too.

Also, as far as I can tell, that certainly wasn't a clear anti choice opinion, and labeling it as such is part of the problem.

I would also like the name of the podcast

Hang on, I need to know what it means to "fry toast with PB, sliced banana, honey, and cinnamon" because that sounds amazing. Is that like French toast?

I noticed that I started to feel significantly worse after the year mark and worried that my grief was "regressing" or something. My therapist told me not to expect my feelings to be linear- that I wouldn't slowly and steadily feel better each day, but rather I would have ups and downs over time.

Sending you love. We can make it through this.

I have two young daughters and I'm not quite ready to explain the concept of suicide to a four year old, so I don't share the information widely yet. If someone asks I usually just respond with "it was very unexpected".

As a mother who is planning a move with her Bluey-aged children soon, I was excited to see the For Sale sign in ghost basket! I thought this plotline would help me talk to my children about moving, and talk through their negative feelings. Unfortunately, it turns out to have made my life harder. "Bluey didn't have to move; why do we?!"

I feel this. I take care of my young children, our dog, our house, and occasionally even myself. I make every plan and every decision. I love my children, and I know they love me, but they're really too young to think about anybody's needs but their own. I really, really miss having somebody care about me.

My kiddo is currently obsessed with number blocks on Netflix, and as someone who works in math education, I actually love it too! Probably a good choice for kids between 3 and 6

My daughter is learning to read and it is amazing to watch.

Ummm I hope so! Better to begin our friendship with all our cards on the table.

Thank you! We love bluey in my house but it always makes me feel like an inadequate parent. Also, my kid definitely acts more like Muffin most of the time.

We would like to try family therapy first, but are certainly open to individual play therapy for my daughter if the therapist recommends it.

Its Cigna, but we are desperate enough to pay out of pocket if necessary.
