Always Bring Chocolate

I’m a childless, unmarried 31yo man. Here’s my take on the formula/breastfeeding debate. 🧵 1/27

Funny how he couldn't spend a weekend with his infant but expects her to give up her career and do it.

You do not fully become a parent until you have the moment where you think "I love this child with all of my being, and I absolutely need them to be away from me right now or I am going to walk into sea."

"why do you support your tax dollars going to subsidized daycare if you don't have kids" because if other people can't afford to have kids the only staff at my nursing home when I'm old will be a pill organizer scotch-taped to a roomba

I think “postpartum depression” is a convenient label that allows policy makers to skirt responsibility for their role in creating an environment in our country that makes it impossible for new moms to thrive.

Those without babies any longer, remember the vague haze of terribleness where we just groggily would say “Maybe it’s teething?” for months on end because we aren’t allowed to say “Maybe my baby’s just an asshole.”

I'm getting a lot of reviews about how there is too much breastfeeding and it's not realistic in a book about a woman left alone with a 6-week-old baby, and it's just WILD to me how we as a society still don't realize how time-consuming nursing actually is.
