Physical and emotional storm

Regardless of our age or life experience, we all want our privacy. For some people, this wasn’t an opinion growing up. With many siblings and not enough rooms in the home, it could happen that people had to share bedrooms. I’ve had to, but only for a year in college. It’s definitely uncomfortable, and can cause emotional disturbances that you weren’t prepared to deal with. Everyone needs their privacy. This brings us to the Reddit thread.

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Having one’s first child is an exciting and exulting time in a woman’s life. The introduction to motherhood, the anticipation of newfound joy and love in your offspring, and the warmth of family will give any new mother that special glow.

You ought not to demonstrate prejudice in your role as a parent. Having said that, how would you react if your partner openly expressed his preference for your son over your daughter? Would you strive to make up for your husband's lack of affection, or would you just put up with it and treat your children the same way? The story below is of a defensive mother. The original poster (OP) shares two children with her husband. Although OP has always loved her two children equally, it is clear that h…

Welcome back internet enthusiasts. L iving a life predicated on lies can eat someone to their core. I couldn’t imagine hiding my reality from friends, family, or loved ones. Being open, earnest, and honest will save slews of headaches for the future. When you lie, you have to think about how it will affect the other person.
