Backwards we go. :( Can’t wait until the book club/review scammers arrive door to door like encyclopedia salesmen of old.

Honestly, in a year or so, it's going to be so incredibly hard to tell what's real and what's not in videos of this sort that it's going to ruin and crater that entire experience, unless platforms put in robust checks and limits on posting stupid fake Gen-AI shit.

When I had my baby in 2000, people who barely knew me though work showed up, wanting to visit. It's like they came out of the woodwork. Luckily my husband turned away visitors at the door. "Who are you? Sorry, she and the baby are napping."

The point is: Nobody is owed access to your baby.

Luke would have been 23 this year if somebody who felt slightly sick back in 2002 had worn a mask or simply not handled a newborn baby when they were "under the weather."

This was a time when anybody who slightly knew the parents felt entitled to show up at the hospital and hold the baby.

Back in 2002, my 2-week old nephew died of meningitis he contracted while a newborn in the hospital, very likely transmitted by a visitor or hospital staff. Tell your friend not to back down. Her relative can F off.

Sounds like our 2024 purchase of an electric car happened just in time. Because that would be very bad for my blood pressure.

Yes and I’m confused. I already filed a claim, which is why they had my email. Am I supposed to file another one???
