YES YES YES. The first one especially, the “this is my last baby sadness”…I can’t handle it, especially after a loss. Have another baby ya goobers, problem solved 😂
Same in the last baby trend. I'm so sad that this current baby may actually be my last (I'm old, the baby machine is going to shut down sometime). It's hard to be pregnant! Little babies are so hard for me! But it still such a lovely part of my adulthood and I wish I could do this forever.
Ooooh, I like that "digital modesty". Let's apply that to those "get ready with me" reels too 😬.
The life hacks are so funny to me: either just a basic life skill (tuck your shoe laces in so you don't trip! Life hack!) or bizarrely unpractical (pour all your cereal from one container into another! Kitchen hack!). We consume such ridiculous content these days 🥴
You crack me up. I appreciate this post as I don't pay as much attention to trends. I'm of the age where I was in young/middle adulthood without social media - ahem - and I so appreciate the quiet of my experience...now that I see what is out there for young and middle adults.
This just reminds me of a re-hashed argument of "I can be anything I want to be and have it all" from the 70s, 80s, and 90s...glorifying particular choices...of "Yes, I had the obligatory kids, but now I can get back to reality". Parenthood changes a person, and it should, and that is your reality, once you have them. To me it sounds as if behind the comments, these people wonder what it would be like with more children...hence, the discussion about it...or maybe it's just pride saying, "look how great I am 'cause I had some". Either way, it is a pause for reflection and contemplation about what personal growth through varied experiences looks like.
I’ve seen so many “last baby posts” (especially of people I know irl) and then so often they end up having another baby a couple years later 🫠 and I’m always like, wow one day these kids might see your posts. This child that (at the time) you said you didn’t want? That you were so thankful you didn’t have to “do this” again for? They might see these posts. 🙃 it’s so weird and cringey.
The last baby thing, I have ranted to my husband so many times about this 😅 I literally can’t imagine getting on social media and posting about that! Like “announcing we’re pregnant with our third and final baby” 😵💫

I’m gonna be 46 and this was #6 (Dec 2024). I’m sad about being too old and he may be last…have more babies, (to quote above) ya goobers! 😂😂
