[quote=Anonymous]The misogyny on threads like this always gets me down. This question is *before* the baby, she’s not asking anyone for anything, sheesh. There are a lot of things that people can do or “just suck up and don’t whine” but that doesn’t make that the best or only way to do it. Other than mocking other parents what special powers does it get you to do it all on your own? So, would I have a baby without a support system? I’m with others— only if I could pay for the support I wanted. Our families are far away in one case, elderly/infirm in the other. We budgeted for a postpartum doula, meal service, additional housekeeping hours, and private PT/fitness. Then there was a pandemic so I’ve only been able to use a couple of those things but there was never any expectation I’d just do everything on my own, nor am I impressed that others choose to do so.
