Honestly, that was my only problem with her original announcement. I may think she’s a hypocrite, but pro-choice means pro-choice. But her poor kid, man. Imagine reading that when you're 16 or something, or having an asshole classmate throw that in your face. You would think Bristol would know by now that the Internet…

Stop explaining yourself, Bristol. We don’t care that you’re having another baby out of wedlock! Honest! You do you. I was more concerned with the fact that the birth announcement literally made it sound like you just found out you have terminal cancer.

It’s sure a good thing she used all those dollar-signs, otherwise she would have said “Assholes”.

A-fucking-men! It was 100% his responsibility to make sure that he had a relationship with his own children. Even if Goldie did try to prevent him from seeing them, he should have gone to court to at least get visitation. He didn’t because he didn’t care, but now it is convenient to play the victim.

Thank you for the last few sentences. My father has guilt tripped me for the past four years (basically since I was 16) about not calling him because “I’m an adult now too” but he never makes the attempt either. This kind of bullshit is super manipulative behaviour because they don’t want to make the effort to see…

My mom does this too, and it’s bullshit. Yes, the way the telephone works goes both ways, but parent-child relationships do not. And definitely not when a parent is bullshit for a person’s entire life as a minor. You can’t just put your kid on ice until they turn 18 and say “well, you’re an adult now, act like one…

I’m basing my support for them on the fact that he says they could have called him. Therein lies the hallmark of every narcissist father. If you’re the parent, you’re the one who picks up the phone, you’re the one who visits, you’re the one who is there.

Thanks so much for the advice! It really hit on an important point for me: I do care what my parents think of me, and I like that you acknowledge that while also adding that it doesn’t have to dictate how I live. I’m going to try to take that to heart. I really appreciate your kind reply; it means a lot. Thanks again.

He’s three months old, almost four. I hope it does stabilize, thanks for the reasurance.

Thanks, I’ll just ask my GP to look into it, because it’s falling by the handful. Internet says it’s normal but really, it’s just too much for me not to be scared.

You can grow much thicker hair during pregnancy that falls out pretty quick afterwards, so it's probably that. But if it keeps up and you are feeling a bit off you might ask your doc for a thyroid check. Pregnancy can trigger thyroid problems that often go u caught or labelled ppd for awhile.

You life. You just do it. I’ve had cancer twice and you just do it. Having cancer does not forgive us of our wrongdoings, nor does it make you a saint. It just makes you human. Horrible things happen to all kinds of people. Sometimes being faced with death can put things into perspective for some and who knows, your…

You’re not a coward. That’s called survival and it’s 100% your right to keep that to yourself for self-preservation.

It’s MY name and I shouldn’t have to give it up. To all the idiots who point out it’s my dad’s name—I was born with it and it’s mine. I’m willing to name children with my partner’s name—but I will not change mine.

Agreed. I might have thought it was romantic and grown up if I’d gotten married very young, but luckily I didn’t and I’ll take my own name to my grave.

“Good! Don’t take his name. By the 3rd or 4th wedding it’s just a hassle.”

For me, if my husband had been very gung-ho about us having one name (I know that’s A Thing for some people) the options would’ve been he takes my name or we both hyphenate. No way was I about to be the only one to change! (luckily he gives no shits)

This is actually a legitimate concern. when a stranger calls a child by name part of the “stranger danger” is cancelled out. kids don’t usually reason out that “hey, my name is spelled out in circus animals on the back of my sweat shirt” they just assume that anyone that knows them...that being said, the rest is pure…
