  1. I think it's 100% going to be a huge shock when you actually have a kid, it's not the same thing as babysitting or being an aunt/uncle. People talk about how much of an issue it can be to not have much support from the father, but one real factor is the child themselves; some kids are very easy to raise and have turn out well, others are very hard to raise and seem almost destined to frustrate and disappoint. This is one reason why people love babies so much, all of that potential with so little disappointment so far. I hope this woman can get to the point where she starts to love her kid truly, because once that sets in they aren't a chore to take care of, it's a pleasure to nurture them. It's a huge burden to have to take care of people you resent, like doing a job you hate makes that job more demanding than it would be if you could enjoy it. I love cooking for my family, but if I had to cook for people I hate I don't think I'd enjoy it as much. Also, maybe it's just a figure of speech or something, but what does 'go to dinner' mean?? Does she not prepare food? I mean, I'm a man but I've been cooking food since I was a small child (my dad is a first generation (white) immigrant). Maybe I'm reading into her, but it sounds like she eats out a TON and is still feeling overburdened? Now I made myself feel petty for being so judgmental, but I think this woman is INCREDIBLY lucky she's as wealthy as she is, because I don't think she'd handle poverty especially well.

  2. As a person who's benefited from therapy I find it pretty horrifying that someone who already feels like it's a bad idea (because of the huge stigma around getting help) could consume her nutty content. While I think the definition of therapy has been stretched by bad actors it's unavoidable that it's helped millions of people over the years. Also, psychotherapeutic diagnosis might be new (and thus seem to be 'going up' alarmingly if you don't know how stats work), but it doesn't mean people didn't have those problems before... nobody was diagnosed with cancer 30k years ago, people still died of it all the same, same with dysentery and every other medical problem you can imagine, they existed but weren't understood. The village hermit wasn't diagnosed with schizophrenia because nobody knew what schizophrenia was, people could still tell that they were crazy if you catch my drift.
