Re: Rant/vent thread
You make a good point about the limitations placed on and faced by professionals. And I think you're spot-on re: psychological consultations. I consider myself lucky in that both the practice I go to and the practice I take my son to actively monitor for PPD, but more could definitely be done.
There's got to be a change in the wider culture, in how we approach the entire process as a whole. I have a good friend who gave birth 4 months before me and, despite our closeness and despite the fact that she normally has a low tolerance for bullshit, she edited the nature of her experience. And she didn't even realize she was doing it until after the fact! There's a narrative, and it's strong as hell, and we all feel compelled to perpetuate it.
As for the rest, man, I don't blame you. The only friends I have who are parents are either those whom I knew before they had kids, or those whom you don't know are parents until someone asks.
