I**nfluencer Imogen Horton has named her baby Hero Boy and I’m sorry but WTF** 😭
I genuinely thought I’d misread it.
It sounds like the name of a children’s TV character, not an actual human being who is going to have to introduce himself at school, apply for jobs and exist in the real world!

So both parents have left their 10-week-old baby in the UK and flown to Dubai for a child-free holiday.
I have a baby the same age and neither me nor her dad would even leave her to go into our local town at the same time this age, never mind both of us getting on a plane and flying to another continent for a holiday.
What makes it even more bizarre to me is that the baby has reportedly been suffering with reflux and has apparently been “screaming” in pain.
And this comes after Molly-Mae has spoken about her toddler having attachment issues, being terrified when separated and being scared that her parents are going to leave. Then both parents just… leave?
Obviously every parent is entitled to time away from their children, but 10 weeks old feels incredibly young for both parents to be going abroad for a holiday.
I genuinely don’t understand choosing to be 7+ hours away from your newborn when you could have waited a little longer or gone somewhere much closer.
Am I the only one who finds this really strange?
I’m curious about the logic behind something I’ve noticed on Reddit.
I made a post on a relationship forum asking for advice about a very specific domestic disagreement. Instead of engaging with the question, hundreds of people dug through deleted posts, reconstructed my life story from fragments and concluded that my daughter is at imminent risk of SA by her father.
We met when I was 16, but our relationship began when I was 18 and he was 34. It was consensual and legal. I appreciate that many people have concerns about the power dynamic, and that’s a separate discussion. What I don’t understand is the leap from “I dislike the circumstances of your relationship” to “your husband is likely to SA your daughter.”
Those seem like entirely different propositions.
Is this genuinely how people think, or is it a feature of Reddit where every conversation escalates to the most catastrophic possible conclusion?
The other thing I find odd is the sense of entitlement some chronically online users seem to feel towards someone else’s history. I asked about one narrow scenario. Instead, people dredged up deleted posts, ignored the actual question and started advising me to end my marriage.
Ironically, when I was pregnant, some of the same style of comments insisted I should abort a very wanted and planned baby for the same reason. The certainty with which strangers make life changing recommendations based on a handful of posts is fascinating.
I’m genuinely interested in the psychology behind it. Why does Reddit so often replace the question being asked with a narrative it finds more compelling?
I find her storyline with motherhood really interesting.
Watching Girls for the first time and it’s become my postpartum breastfeeding binge watch, so I couldn’t believe the finale ended up being about motherhood, latching, and Hannah becoming a mum.
It felt weirdly relevant to watch this while going through the newborn stage myself.
What do people think the show was saying with Hannah’s journey into motherhood? Was it growth, loss of identity, selfishness, realism, something else?
Also curious what people think the breastfeeding/latching scenes were trying to show.
Would love everyone’s theories.
I’m absolutely loving breastfeeding so I don’t want to stop. But the sensory side of it is becoming overwhelming.
My boobs leak constantly. I wake up absolutely drenched in milk, my clothes feel damp and the milk feels so sticky on my skin. I can’t stop noticing it and it’s making me feel like I want to crawl out of my skin.
I’ve tried wearing bras so I can use breast pads, but I haven’t found one that’s comfortable enough. Bras are a sensory nightmare for me too, so I usually end up taking them off.
Has anyone found any genuinely comfy, autism-friendly solutions? Whether that’s a bra that doesn’t feel restrictive, reusable pads that don’t feel awful, or anything else that’s helped.
I’d really appreciate any recommendations from other neurospicy mums who get it.
My 42M husband won’t let me 27F unpack our groceries in our kitchen.
My husband and I buy groceries in bulk, so it’s usually a huge shop with lots of heavy items. Until today, I genuinely thought he always unpacked everything because it was physically easier for him and he didn’t want me lifting loads.
On this occasion our baby was crying and he was busy soothing her so I stood up to go do it. He stopped me and said not to bother because I’d “do it wrong” and he’d have to unpack it all and do it again anyway.
That honestly caught me off guard. I’d always assumed he unpacked the shopping because it was heavy, not because he thought I was incapable of putting food in cupboards correctly.
It made me feel oddly belittled. Do other people have partners who are this particular about how groceries are put away?
