This episode may make you giggle. — But I'm semi-serious about wishing these questions were banned(!). I also suggest some wiser, better phrased and less loaded/triggering options to perhaps ask an expecting couple or new parents.

In this episode, I speak on:

having healthy boundaries with intrusive characters and questions
the blame parents can get for a child's behaviour
how tragic it is that many Mums feel invisible after pregnancy
the need for a village to raise a child/family
how deeply inappropriate certain questions (and society's expectations) can be
speaking up and advocating for yourself

Themes: motherhood, maternal mental health, boundaries, birth trauma

At the end, I share a poem written by me.
