One of those days where I really can’t stand my job - I’m even entertaining ideas of becoming a baby mama to a rich dude so I can collect child support and don’t have to work here to make money. Ridiculous, I know

😲 this is exactly why condoms save lives.

P1, very true that it’s not always greener. It’s a joy to raise those babies, and it’s cool for awhile. Then your only friends send you sales, coupons, play dates, all day. They gossip and the conversations are so mundane. You lose brain cells, lose confidence in your hard earned skills, and feel lonely like no one understands you. You yearn intellectual stimulation, watch your old friends excel and then every smart dude turns you on. Go to therapy and then go back to work. But I digress and it works great for some. Umm, don’t ever give up your career entirely.

Found a most enlightening work on decolonial history with tons of TIL moments especially about Anti Colonial movements in Egypt, China, Japan and course India in the 19th and 20th centuries. Most histories this period often adopt a Euro-centric lens but this book flips it and tells the stories of these turbulent times from the vantage point of the pioneering Asian leaders like Tagore, Al Afghani, Kang Youwei etc. Lovers of Asian history would surely appreciate this book

Any moms who really badly wanted a girl but ended up with a boy(s)? How do you feel now? Do you still want a girl? Would you try again? Does it matter really, or was it just in your head?

Had a difficult relationship with my mom growing up, so always wanted that closeness with my future daughter. FTM having a boy and a little disappointed, but feeling guilty for that too. Difficult pregnancy so likely won't have another. But I want a girl. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Please no woke left gender drama responses. Thanks.

The parents were oblivious to proper etiquette and other guests complained making the parents of the screaming baby wildly offended. How does management appease all parties?
