Daily Thread Daily Thread #1 - December 26, 2024

This daily thread is for all members who are pregnant after a previous pregnancy or infant loss. How are you?

We want to foster a sense of community, which is why we have a centralized place for most daily conversation. This allows users to post and get replies, but also encourages them to reply to others in the same thread. We want you to receive help and be there for others at the same time, if possible. Most milestones should go here, along with regular updates. Stand alone posts are Mod approved only and have set requirements.

Argh. Some grandparents-to-be just go loopy and completely ride roughshod over what you want to do.

She’s one of those facebook boomers (like an ipad baby but worse). She still doesn’t thibk she did anything wrong 😭 and I’m the one who is too rigid.

Funnily enough, my father is also a boomer and just has no idea what he did wrong.

With our angel, he asked for weeks to be able to tell people, and when we kept saying no he eventually said at 20 weeks "I'm just going to ignore you and tell everyone" and immediately started making phone calls.

Ugh that’s so hectic. I can only assume/hope it’s old age affecting their cognitive skills (for real, not a joke).
