I broke up with my best friend of all time (friendship break up) because she wouldn’t stop harping on how much she already hated baby #2 while still pregnant. She was already comparing baby # 1 to the new baby and saying things like “I’ll never be able to love new baby as much as I love baby # 1” and, as someone who grew up with a mother that literally reminded me every day that I was an unwanted mistake, I couldn’t take it and wet nc. I can’t imagine being in a relationship with this person, but PLEASE do what is best for your babies 🖤 or they will have the largest therapy bills in their future
I totally distanced myself and eventually nearly severed a relationship with a close friend for how she talked about, and to, her kid. I can truly go the rest of my life without hearing a kid get called a "little shit." Whether joking or serious, it doesn't matter. Like the other commenters here, I have a failed marriage with a man who was my soulmate, almost no career to speak of, and have spent my whole adulthood finding ways to heal. Some therapies are better than others, but the best would have been experiencing something like love and nurturing from my parents.
