What's crazier is how much the line between parody and legitimacy is continuing to blur.

3 years of sociocultural anthropology and archaeology, 2 sociology electives, 3 in psychology, including Human Growth and Development. Plus the metaphysics and epistemology from whence the discipline came.
Armchair nothing.
And you're berating every person who has answered your post thus far.
Including somebody who knows.
You srsly think you'll be able to refrain from talking to your child this way?
I highly doubt that.
You're so combative you'll probably kill it.
I had some time to cool down and I just want to say I'm sorry. I know you're trying to be helpful, but I'm also only human. I just, sometimes I get so mad I just fucking lose it.
To be honest I'm really depressed, I'm supposed to take care of this baby, I'm getting a divorce at the same time and have doubts about parenting, and this snake is whispering in my ear in PMs here about my husband and egging me to turn hostile in my relationship even though he has no clue about what goes on in my life, and I feel a bit like a failure because I feel my husband abandoned me even if he's willing to stick around to raise the baby. I think it's pretty understandable for me to be a bit defensive when someone on an internet platform comes in and says I would be a bad mom instead of being supportive. Would you not be?
I'm actually a very regimented person and I think it's good for children to grow up with someone orderly. Before getting pregnant I've quit smoking and coffee altogether and started to eat salad, fruits, and homecooked food, especially dark leafy greens. I started to do some exercise and read up on what to eat, like I read that there's evidence that choline intake correlates with larger brain size in rodents so I've started to take 1500 mg choline per day in eggs and supplements, alongside DHA/salmon, folic acid and I replaced my salt with an iodized version because it helps the child think and feel. I also exercise regularly to monitor my weight and let the child listen to music at 4 PM every day and I started to go to therapy to fix my mood swings so the kid doesn't get harmful hormones through me. I think if I was a bad mom I wouldn't give a shit.
Honestly I just want to be a good mom and I'm a bit scared I'm going to be a horrible one because I'm so fucked up in the head.
