I’m way too pregnant for this discourse, but seriously how are we complaining about birth rates while simultaneously telling women to just suck it up & let people walk all over them after birth? Postpartum is not about anyone but mom & baby. I say this as someone who is 🧵

Good post. And i agree. So many young women are control freaks that don’t understand how to create a relationship with other people. It’s one of the main things i taught my own daughter. My mother in law and father in law watched all my babies be born except my emergency c-section. My dad and father in Law stayed up by my head and held my hands while my husband and all the women and sisters got to see the birth action😂 a party of 15-20 in your birthing room is fun😂 And strict rules for visiting in the first few months of life is even weirder. That truly is just a controlling narcissistic trait. I don’t really understand people that like their privacy or have rules for every event in their life. Chill out and relax. Enjoy your family both sides.

Ladies. I am telling you this right now. Your husband’s family matters when you have a baby. You can say they aren’t allowed in for delivery. You can ask for limited time visits. You can ask for your husband to entertain and introduce the baby if you want to stay in bed. BUT- asking his parents/grandparents to wait to meet them while you let your family in is cruel and selfish. EVEN IF they might annoy you, or his mom is an attention hog, your baby is just as much your husband’s. Your recovery needs matter, but alienating them is wrong.

Israel is working to legalize the murder of Palestinian hostages in its prisons. Israel holds Palestinians for years without charge or a fair chance to appeal in courts. Dozens have died in custody from torture, medical neglect, and other abuses in recent years.
