"There's no problem with this (Though I would choose babywearing not bringing a clunky stroller in.) We can't just banish adults from society once they have kids and provided they use decent judgment--i.e. kids aren't causing absolute mayhem ruining the space for everyone else; kids aren't out at like midnight or routinely operating at massive sleep deficits--we should give much more social leeway & even encourage this. I'm not sure when extreme separation of kid and adult spaces started but it ends up being somewhat bad for both groups: Kids don't learn how to behave in adult spaces or how to"

"Example of society not built for mothers who take (daytime) care of their kids: Children's hospital tells me I cannot bring my (medically fragile) baby to my 3-year-old's cardiologist appointment nor can I bring my 3-year-old to my baby's ortho appointment there.

"You're not really operating in good faith afaict. Sure some places are bad for children -- strip clubs and cigar bars ok. But my point is that we should have broader integration and a wider Overton window (the way many other countries do the way our country used to) for what types of spaces kids can be in.

"@Aella_Girl Yes absolutely. It also warps the parent's heart to be locked into conflict for hours or days on end with a child. Why subject yourself to this and to having this type of relationship with someone you hold dear"

"Today marks [--] weeks in the NICU. He's stable but the doctors don't seem to be much closer to figuring out how to treat him and get him home. Having a new baby is supposed to feel like a little piece of heaven on Earth; this is hell. Our sweet Sol has taken a turn for the worse in the NICU. We're lucky we got a few days with him off of breathing tubes--to nurse and play and snuggle--but now he's so sick we're not even able to hold him. We would love your prayers for wise King Solomon our sweet baby. https://t.co/9fmHdRsLf6 Our sweet Sol has taken a turn for the worse in the NICU. We're lucky"

"Everything I see about parenting or pregnancy on Xso half of my feedmakes me so sad and jealous like I would do anything to just have normal problems. But then again: It could always be worse. Our baby is alive and stable. We have extraordinary medical care. This will pass"

"It's cowardice right Not in every case--there are some cases where they never found the right person to raise children with or some cases where real medical complexity makes it impossible--but in the majority of "we want to travel/go to fancy restaurants/binge that new show" cases. But it's not socially acceptable to say you're a coward afraid of the vulnerability and hard work required to be a parent"
