Do people not consider how baby scans on social media might land with someone who miscarried or is struggling to conceive when they are forced to look at such a highly sensitive image?
15th Aug 2022Recently I was working with a fellow coach when I started to notice that she was using the expression ‘us mums’ quite a lot; as well as statements like “now that the kids are on holidays”, and “when the children are at summer camp”.
In a world where we have all finally learned to be much more aware of how we speak to others around issues of gender, religion and sexuality, is it not time now that we consider issues relating to parenthood also? And let’s not forget the significant portion of those in today’s world, who for a myriad of personal reasons, decide that parenthood is not for them. They make that choice and live happily with it and deserve to have the space to do so.
If you read this and think I’m just being snarly then, respectfully, you are totally missing the point. I adore being around my friends’ children. I celebrate their parenthood status and empathise when they need an ear to bend. I fully empathise with all those parents struggling with and fighting against the challenges of growing childcare costs.
This really got me thinking. I’ve seen these scans on my own feed and if I knew the person involved personally, I’d be really pleased for them, even if I’d rather hear it from them privately.
