The other day I had my first pang of panic. It's something I've thought about before and heard other women talk about. It's something that's a rite of passage. When is it appropriate to worry about labor & delivery? I mean, is that something I'm allowed to be nervous about at this point or should I store up my anxiety for closer to our due date? *Please don't tell me I'm crazy for worrying already, I make it my business to worry about everything always. I just want the honest truth. Ya know?
Hi, it's me - I know it's been a while, but I've been deep inside that bubble I mentioned when everything first happened in November 2020 and I am starting to emerge having done some serious healing and navigating within the trauma of being a suicide survivor and a sole parent. This has nothing to do with that though. I'm dumping this thought here because I need it documented: You know how the conservative crowd tends to use "Well I don't have any children, why should I help pay for the schools?" and "People are just too lazy to work, I don't know why we need social services to help people pay for their child care and food?" I'm noticing those are the same voices I hear in restaurants complaining that there are no servers. No bartenders. No one available to change their oil or to do other trade work. And no one to watch their children. The CEO of the company I work for posted a big response about how child care is the gatekeeper to folks
