    Other people mentioned how your missing the posting to the public part of the equation. Video and take pics of your kid, but those are private memories and the child should have a say in what gets shared with the public. (Obviously that is my opinion, but I support bodily autonomy. Even if they are under 18. This mean different things depending on the event, because sometimes kids are stupid. Parents obviously need to make their kids do some things they don’t want, but sharing things on social media is not one of those times. Maybe stop them for over sharing, but that’s it.)

    Also…

    Parenting advice from childless young people is like marriage advice from a priest

    This isn’t really the same thing. A childless young person just went through being raised in the modern age. I don’t know where the kids hang out or what took over for skibidi after I found out what it is, but the young childless people might.

    A priest that was never married has no life experience, but…they might hear what the arguments that are going around from talking to married people. They would be able to explain what worked with other couples…

    Okay maybe you were right about the analogy, but my conclusion is different. Listen to them and see what they say. Just cause someone has a different life experience than you doesn’t mean they can’t form helpful advice based on their own.











  • I don’t really have a clue on what advice to give. I’ll just say, I understand your point of view. I had issues opening up and when I did, it would be a firehose and overwhelm people. The answer, for me, wasn’t to NOT open up. It was to open up more. Let smaller streams out. I had to accept that we all need this. Giving voice to your thoughts is vital. Thoughts have the tendency to build up and seem bigger than they are. When you talk to other people (or something else) it helps you work through your thoughts. It also takes the power back because the thoughts seem less scary when talking to someone else.

    I know your problem was not finding the right person to open up to. I mentioned or something else earlier, because some people are religious and prayer might help. Programmers talk through their issues (at work) with a rubber ducky. Anything would help. Finding another person would be best, but if I can’t find someone to talk to then I go to my ice cave with my penguin buddy, I made up in elementary school.

    Everyone needs a break from this world. We treat each other like shit and many people are selfish and lack empathy. To quote Megan Thee Stallion, “Everybody taking shit probably sucks anyway.”

    Take things a day at a time and try to find like minded people. They are out there. Eventbrite might be a tool you can use to find events you would be okay with going to. They got baby goat yoga near me. I haven’t gone, but being able to hang out with baby goats sounds fun.
