[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There’s always someone who has it harder than you, including those who aren’t able to have children at all.[/quote]

Yeah but saying stuff like that doesn’t help anybody.

If you’re having a hard time for any reason, you need to get yourself in therapy. Your feelings are valid and there’s help available. [/quote]

Being grateful for what you have does help people - it’s a way to reframe your negative thinking.

Constantly comparing yourselves to others, feeling sorry for yourself - stuff like that is what REALLY doesn’t help anybody.[/quote]

+100 "comparison is a the thief of joy" my favorite saying, practice gratitude, not comparison[/quote]

+1000. I can't imagine looking at my life and feeling pity and envy. And I am not DCUM rich and my kids aren't perfect. You live your own life as it is and handle it with stride and grace, without comparison. Be your own person on you're own path. I actually hate "toxic positivity" so I am not saying you need to go that route, but you need to embrace what you have been given, embrace it, and if it is not satisfactory? Make changes. [/quote]

Yes, but some people are up on their high horses judging others for not being perfect mothers or successful working moms, and I think the point is that these women often fail to recognize the privileges and advantages that have made their success possible.

Sheryl Sandberg is the perfect example. [/quote]
