She says she didn’t feel bad handing the baby over because she looked at him and said “that baby is not mine”. Ummmm yes, he is genetically 50% you, exactly the same as your two daughters. This is very strange. Happy for the adoptive parents but dismissing the child as not hers sounds like a weird disassociation to me, given he is her biological child and she carried him to term and birthed him.
@laura__palmer @laura__palmer wow, what a sweeping generalisation. “In your experience” — what experience is this? Most working Mums I know admit that being a SAHM is much harder than being a working Mum; many go to work to “get a break”. Stay at home mothers do not have “more time”, we don’t even get to go to the toilet on our own, shower or eat a meal in peace. I go a whole day without eating as I have no time to with 3 tiny children who need me constantly. We certainly don’t have “more time”. Your outdated statements belittle the work of present, attentive and devoted mothers.
