One of the most eye-opening things about becoming a parent is realising just how much marketing and media there is targeted at provoking fear about your child's well being. Some of it is educational but the majority is harmful money-grabbing. It's gross.
@piebypie Totally, and especially in the beginning I found myself in a big fog of 'what does Eden actually need and what is marketing'. Still managed to waste a chunk of money based on 'just in case' and it's certainly a big privilege to even be able to do that.
The amount of responses to yesterday’s post that suggested I’m the one coming to witness your struggle was an odd surprise. After all this time, you still recognise the wholesome delight I take in making you suffer. You’re all so sweet.
@A_dmg04 The personal cost of being a CM is so high and I can totally imagine the level of emotion you're feeling right now. I'm proud of you for taking your leap of faith and wish you all the best! ♥️
