Disappointed 😢

Why is everybody anonymous? I think if people posted as themselves then people might be more considerate in replies 🤷🏼‍♀️ it’s a bit of a keyboard warrior mentality I think if you can’t see who’s behind the screen. Not saying it’s correct as I don’t like reading arguing either. X

I agree! It's a lot of pressure and we all need a safe space to vent / come for advice

@Samantha yeah that defo plays a part!

@Samantha completely agree

Im sorry you feel that way, but at the end of the day everyone is entitled to their own opinion, if this is about the woman who wants to disrupt her SC life for 3 months then it was bound to upset people. Especially when she tells other mums that they are brainwashed for going back to normal as soon as the baby is born and not fighting their own corner and sticking to the status quo because they are too scared … its easy to see if from one persons point of view but not another. At the end of the day we are grown women and it will trigger alot of women the way she was so blasé about this childs life to suit herself. Everyone is entitled to vent and share their issues. But it still baffles me how that post is still up, A childs needs should always come before your own. Biological or not. She married a man with a child. That child deserves consistency and i think alot of people would do well to remember that. 3 months of disruption is not consistency and that poor child will remember

I am the mom with the 3 months recovery and I stand by all of the opinions I expressed.

@Alice it’s interesting that you got so triggered that you moved the conversation to a different chat. I can bat here too but I’m sure that’s not what anyone wants.

Behave yourself, i didnt move anything i simply responded to a post 🤣 how come youre allowed to stand by what you believe but everyone else who does is brainwashed? I’ll repeat what others have said. If it works for you and your husband thats fine, it wouldn’t work for me and my blended family. Stop arguing with strangers on a public forum for having an opinion.

@Alice your response was long and detailed, clearly touched a nerve.

@Lora everyone is entiltied to their opinion at the end of the day. When you say you don't love your step child of course that will get a few comments🤷‍♀️ If you don't like it then tough🤣

@Rebecca I asked for other step moms advice on a different post about postpartum recovery and amongst that I also got a heap of judgements and the rude comments of some uneducated peasants. I don’t care if people like me or not. I just ask for them to be civil.

@Lora and I can completely see why you've had comments like that. You don't care about your step child or love them. You're pushing them out. Of course you're going to get comments like that🤣

@Lora you aren’t speaking in a way that indicates you want people to be civil by name calling others. Have you recently joined this group? Have you any other support network you could reach out to rather than arguing with strangers, as I don’t think it’s healthy and/or good for pregnancy? I hope you find peace in the circumstances you are in and can enjoy the rest of pregnancy and motherhood.

@Samantha I’ve been in the SM chat for most of my pregnancy and the one time I needed help because I’m going to be in a really hard place between outsourced parenting duties and postpartum sleep deprivation I got told what a horrible person I am for wanting to have a bit of a breather and my first time mom experience by amending a kid’s schedule for a brief period of time. Said kid is very well taken care of and while I don’t “love” her I’ve made her life much much nicer than what it was before.

@Lora not everybody was saying that, and that’s the thing, opinions will always be divided so I would just take on board the opinions you align with and not worry about the others. Everybody runs their families differently.
