When I told people I was having a girl— oh they’re so cute and sweet and then they become teenagers! The casual sexism came from everywhere. Side note— I’m a high school teacher and I think teenage girls are awesome.
Don’t ask parents questions about their children’s appearance/ethnicity... “her daddy must have blue eyes, you must be Irish, etc”. Our family is kind of complicated and I don’t feel like explaining it to you in line at the grocery store. Also related to this— don’t make a big fuss…
I had my first (and only) child at 44. A co-worker told me “Now you’ll really know what love is.” I know she meant well but by 44 years old I hope I knew what love was?? I love being a mom but I almost wasn’t and that doesn’t mean those 44 years of my life were unimportant or that…
