Might need fellow parents to chime in here as I know every child is different etc etc but I struggle to understand how a baby can be teething (especially FOUR simultaneously) and nobody notice, or google what might be going on.
In my own experience the drooling, chewing and crying as sharp shit pushes through the gums of a baby WITHOUT ANESTHETIC was all pretty fucking noticeable. I can't express the relief I still feel that that stage is well behind us. /PL
None of them have bought or read a parenting book of any sort. None of them understood anything about pregnancy, labor, or birth. None of them have understood Hannah's milestones. None of them did anything to avoid her flat head until doctors raised the alarm that they were real close to needing a helmet. They just wait for family or Twitter strangers or a pediatrician to tell them what's going on. They have zero curiosity about the norms of parenting, or what they can expect their baby to be capable of. Becky has not joined any mom groups in person, on Facebook, or anywhere else. Unlike most women in her socioeconomic range, she didn't bother joining a due date club full of women who were having a baby at the exact month she was.
Instead of being thankful and grateful she has family who will cook up a Thanksgiving dinner so that she can just eat and feed the baby, Becky has decided to catastrophize about how dehumanizing it inevitably is to enjoy a meal with people who are electing to be kind and tolerate your extremely unusual family.
No, Becky, the "real reason" you "took a break" to write about how awful the audiences you were getting paid to market to are, is that you got shitcanned while pregnant and didn't have the gumption to get right back on your feet and apply everywhere in order to feed your kid. You did this because you have multiple cucks contributing to you being able to keep your feet up, and parents who will float you money for house expenditures, and in-laws who give one cuck a trust fund disbursement.
Other women in tech have been fired during pregnancy and gotten themselves back into employment either before the baby's birth (tech companies are very friendly about extending some basic mat leave even to brand-new hires, you literally just need to be smart about only telling them when the hire is made and then ask), or within the time period they'd have been on mat leave before.
The single worst part of social justice ideology is how it makes people feel like they're starting in a hole and will never be able to climb out because of the weight of oppression. It fully externalizes the locus of control and allows brokebrains like Becky to self-sabotage more effectively than ever before.
Becky's going to "take a step back" so that Sam is a "roommate with benefits" after the recent realization she has no interest in being his friend. I'm sure a guy in his early 20s will really hate having a slampig, roommates to play games with, and subsidized rent in a McMansion zone, without having to pretend to love this BPD bitch. I know it's supposed to be a punishment for his failure to watch a
Carnival marathon or watch Becky play girl games, but I don't think it's going to work out how she thinks it will.
