  • That’s why I love being an auntie, but don’t want kids of my own. I love hanging around with the kids, but that’s only because I know I can send them back to their parents when I’m tired of them. The responsibility of looking after budgies by myself for almost 15 years (more if you count the childhood family pets) was enough. As much as I miss having birds, I’m ready to retire from any caregiving commitments.


  • So there shouldn’t be a stigma around a mother paying or accepting donated milk from another lactating woman. But we’re still at the stage where feeding a synthetic concoction made from a different species’ breastmilk is okay, but saying another woman breastfeeds your baby would get you weird looks. Wet nurses used to be a thing!



  • True. I personally know two men who have experienced long term physical and emotional abuse from a female partner and neither would ever report it. One still takes the blame for it, the other says it’s not as bad if a woman does it to a man and he knows he won’t be believed anyway.
