"Pro lifers" -please stop using infertile people as part of your agenda

Anyone else feel like the doom and gloom are here?

I don't trust anyone when it comes to who I want around my child. Rapists, abusers, bullies, sexual perverts, murderers, racists, schools, daycares, the list goes on. Can't even happily expose my child to other children anymore, because who knows what kind of a home they're coming from. There was a group of children...

How do you connect with your baby when they look more like their father than their mother?

I’m nervous about connecting with my daughter. I’m 33 weeks right now so I still have time. I’m white and her dad is black. I’m worried I won’t be able to relate to her and she’ll prefer her dad to me because “he’ll understand it better”. I don’t know how to teach her about racism and how to protect herself the best...
