Like, that is never what I mean. I don't mean "I'm not having any fun so you're not allowed to have any fun". I don't mean "please get rid of your VR equipment and all your toys and live a joyless existence from here on because I'm a hateful bitch"
OK, not entirely "no reason". Procreate have released new tools to do symmetry, and I wanted to play with them, and She-Ra is what happened when I played with them.
But it wasn't really done with, like, purpose, or deliberateness.
@posty no
Also, kind of related, some people then harp on about how new mums are being lazy and having a 'holiday' at home and should get back to work ASAP
AHHAHA
so they're isolated, eating poorly or not at all, not sleeping, and not exercising, and under fire for being a drain on society, and we wonder why they're depressed
I always wonder how much better PPD would be if there was more support for new mothers in general.
Look after the baby and let a new mum go for a walk.
Bring them something nutritious to eat… preferably something they need to do NO PREP to eat (in the early weeks especially). A sandwich is great.
Look after the baby in the middle of the night so they can catch just a little more sleep.
But we don't take care of new mums basic needs enough. We leave them at home alone while everyone moves on.
