According to “a source”. This all just seems so odd.

Even with fertility treatments...and I wouldn’t be saying boo about it until that baby was born. Like if she’s already pregnant enough to announce, then why the weird wording, and if she isn’t, why not just say “health reasons”?

Did she actually say she’s *having* a child? “Planning our family” can mean a lot of things, and pregnancy at 50 is not exactly common.

That doesn’t seem to be something that was immediately available, and still might not be correct.

I find it weird then that you still see baby powder in the baby toiletries aisle. Like if it’s not safe for babies at all (I mean I can’t really envision how you use it anywhere near them without them inhaling it), why isn’t it only available in the adult toiletries section?

I had no idea (or I forgot). When I was nannying maybe 8 years ago, the family I was working for was still using baby powder on their youngest to prevent diaper rash. And baby powder is still sold specifically in the baby aisle, so it seems like people are probably still using it on babies?

They don’t have to include a different character for every possible type of lgbtq+ person for it to be reflective of the diversity of the lgbtq+ community. A few well-rounded, fully-realized, non-stereotypical characters would be fine.

I’m curious as to how this whole mess hasn’t resulted in like a recall or mass boycott of baby powder by people using it for actual babies. Is it only a health risk if you’re old and your ovaries are already decrepit?

It just means they don’t want the character(s) to be a walking stereotype.

BLESS YOU

WHY ARE THEY SO CLOSE TO THAT WINDOW!?!!! I would have run up those damn stairs and lit them on fire behind me!

Have you spoken to your doctor about your current mood levels? If you’re feeling borderline suicidal, you may need to up the dose or try a different med.

It probably wouldn’t have made them smell that much worse, so I don’t think that’s the reason for the cut.

The dreads were a bad, bad look for JB, but this just makes him look like he’s 6 years old. Right?

Absolutely. And you seem like you’d be a wonderful mom, even without a smartphone!

That’s probably very wise, and certainly so many older kids need homes as well!

Haha this is exactly the opposite of my reason for not having kids. Babies and toddlers are so adorable! But then they start talking and having opinions and arguing and ugh no.

I’m glad your dad seems to be doing alright, and I hope things turn around for you! At least you’ll always have pot noodles :)

It’s wonderful that you’re reaching out to talk about this, I know how hard and scary it can be just to admit to someone you’re struggling.

Aw I wish I could make it to one of these, Scotland is so near and yet so, so far!
