The term used to be wog (westerner oriental gentleman - full sarcasm on the gentleman) but then they got upgraded to white. Weirdly Slavs got rebounded as wog for some reason.
More likely used a surrogate. Why screw around trying to get a 45 yo pregnant when you can pay some poor 20 something yo to do it instead? You're using ivf either way but chance of success is way higher with a younger body.
I'm not an organ donor. I won't do anything that could possibly allow this civilisation to continue limping along.
Even if I beleived that organ harvesting would be painless and not line someone's pocket I would still choose for my organs to rot away inside my corpse.
Thanks. This place is what it is. I've been on and off visiting since old vote days but it's not what it used to be. Also, way too busy with the kids and hubby.
I agree. I bet if this women had a daughter who picked a flower she wouldn't think twice about telling her kid how great it is qnd letting it come home.
I relate to my daughters in a way my husband can't. I can't wait for our son to be born so I can see him share that same instinctual connection with him.
I can recognise and be excited about a stick or rock my son brings me had worth to him but it's just not going to be the same.
Not NSW but I am in Au and pregnant. Anecdotally the drs are obsessed with preparing me for the fact I'm going to miscarry.
This is my third. First was a few years before covid, second I got pregnant right as everyone started panicking about covid. Both were healthy. Theres no reason to think I'm at any elevated risk of a misscarrage.
I couldn't even get on boarded at a hospital until 16 weeks because "they don't see you before that because they can't do anything if you have a miscarrage". But even with covid lockdowns I was on boarded and seen by 12 weeks with my first 2.
From the time I first approached the dr to get a referral until I was onboarded at the hospital they kept calling to get me to do more blood tests to "check my hcg levels and make sure I wasn't miscarrying". I refused but wtf? Either I'll misscarry or I won't, what's a blood test going to do besides keep it at the front of my mind?
They ordered a bunch of extra blood tests for "very rare" blood disorders that are now standard tests apparently. Preciously it was standard to check for stds, hepatitis and vitamin/mineral levels only.
When my hospital paperwork was finally processed I was labelled high risk. I asked why and was told "Oh we just label everyone high risk until they've been checked out by the doctor here. It's not for anything specific".
It's all really weird. None of this was normal pre or mid covid.

We get water delivered and my 5 and 3 year old girls take out all the empties and sweep the storage area.
One time the water guy let the oldest put the empties in the racks on the truck and she was so happy and felt so grown up.

Don't most Muslims cut it off themselves? I was under the impression it's not compulsory but brings you closer to Allah or some shit.

"We were doing our best and will do it again without learning anything from this or improving what 'our best' is"

"Doing my/our best" is shorthand for "I'm I'm selfish asshole who only thinks of myself".
Every shitty parent or authority figure says it when they're shitty behaviour is outlined to them.
Nothing makes me rage harder than a pathetic "b...but I did my best".

Huh, I just watched some jubilee middle ground show where they had detrans and trans talking about stuff.
This person was on it and I swear the first 2 minutes of this speech was said word for word, same inflection everything.
Creeps me out.
