When I had my babies and was breast feeding, as tired as I was, it was like someone had given me a love potion!

Ok Tom Cruise, you do not speak for all women. Please enlighten yourself. You can start with the book Down Came the Rain by Brooke Shields

Why all the negativity??? This is how I felt. Yes, I was also tired, had post partum anxiety and mood swings, but I did feel all those love hormones.

Well, that is not the same for everyone so do not overgeneralize.

Bolded OK. Saying "maternal hormones will knock you over the head with love for your baby" NOT OK. This is not true for a lot of women and you do a tremendous disservice and are actual dangerous putting it out there that everyone should feel the way YOU felt. I'm glad you did but know too many people who didn't who would be very upset at reading your sweeping statement of how they should have felt.

Well I felt that way too. Except I had ZERO post partum anxiety and ZERO mood swings. My baby also slept through the night and I had to wake him to breastfeed. It was such an amazing experience I wanted to get pregnant at 3 months Post Partum. The whole experience was nothing sort of magical. Baby hormones and I agree quite well. For me the PP experience is like being on an amazing drug.

HOWEVER, I'm fully aware that my experience was not normal and I did not run around telling women about my world of rainbows, unicorns, and butterflies. I make a point to be aware of my surroundings and realize that all of my experiences as woman are unique to me. Statements like yours are just dumb and frankly nobody really cares about your experience in this context.

Dont' know why I clicked on this thread because I don't watch these shows, but I agree with this. My husband always wanted to hold our kids when we were out in public because he was gone all day. (God love him ...)

Guys, the producers of this show are deciding which clips to show you. This not a complete picture. You get that right?

Why are people taking about post partum isues, which are real IMP, when she did NOT actually have this baby?

You’ve referred to your husband as a "baby hog." Who’s getting more me-time with the Duke these days?

"He really is, that’s just not stopped. We’re in New York this week and Bill likes to push the stroller in the city and he likes to always hold him and I just look like the lazy wife who doesn’t want to do anything. I just walk alongside Bill and the baby kind of going “OK if anyone needs me, I’ll be over here.” But yes, he’s definitely a baby hog. But you could call your husband worse things than a baby hog. At the end of the day, ultimately, it’s a blessing and it’s great that Bill is so nurturing and loving and wants to be with the baby all the time. In the end, it equals out because Bill travels a lot for work, so when he’s here and at home he wants to make sure that he spends as much time (with the baby as possible) and I respect that and I want him to be with the baby as much as possible."

She is so classy. This is how to be a good wife and mother. Empowering your husband. Absolutely nothing wrong with her allowing her husband to be a proud father.

This kind of approach is how you get an equal partner in child rearing responsibilities and at the same time achieve balance.

Totally agree. I work FT and then some, so this wasn't really a choice. But my husband is an amazing father. I trained him well ...
Honestly, there is something to this ...

The baby seems like an accessory to G. I don't think she
Realized that a baby has 24/7 needs and that she is never off
Duty from being a mom for the next 18 years.
Don't have a baby if you ate going to pass him/her to paid help when you have "better" things to do (like a fashion shoot for a magazine cover)

I've known ladies who are naturally thin and plenty of women diagnosed with anorexia and/bulimia. IMO here is how you know if someone is naturally thin..they have zero food hangups. There are no remarks of guilt if they get the pasta or if they have some dessert. They don't ask people how they stay so thin. They just live.

Just because she was always thin doesn't mean she is ED free. Girls at 8 and 9 are getting diagnosed. I was always really thin for many years. In childhood I could eat anything and be thin and I didn't even like being that thin. In highschool I had to watch it and it just got worse. I got really obsessive in college and all I got was compliments on how thin, healthy and athletic I looked. Didn't have an official ED based on my weight and monthly period, but I definitely had a borderline ED=restricting always having healthy foods and then if I indulged exercising for hours.

I can never get over the fact that a big factor contributing to her infertility was being very underweight. And that she repeatedly refused to gain 10-15 lbs against doctor recommendations, favoring vanity (or her disorder) over being able to get pregnant.

She said doctors said she wasn't under weight.... You do know she had cancer, right

This was before the cancer.

She stated that she was told by doctors to gain AT LEAST 10-15 pounds. Someone on The View pressed her about this, and she admitted she could not bring herself to do it, and that she felt fat after putting on 5 lbs.

She claimed she was so desperate to get pregnant, but would not do something this simple. She has issues, and those trumped the desire to get pregnant.

I also felt that she used the cancer as yet another publicity opportunity. She went on the Today Show and made a big announcement about it. I found that to be revolting. I get a public figure putting out a press release. But to go on the Today Show and make it into a major announcement just smacked as using cancer for more self-aggrandizement.

She has always been scary too skinny, but it seems to be worse now. I haven't watched E in a very long time. Seeing her in the Oscar preshow, it was shocking. She is even more skiiny, and truly scary to look at.
