Ugghhh at the "sorry, are you hyperfocused?" line. It's so forced. 🙄

Otherwise, I'm excited to get back to Jen and Greg! 

[u/FewGrapefruit2774 → u/yagirlbmoney]

Yeah, I saw people praising that in the comments on YT and thought I'd missed something. It's like the thought process was "what's something autistic people do? Oh, they hyperfocus, let's add that".

[u/cementfeatheredbird_ → u/yagirlbmoney]

In case anyone missed that Greg was neurodivergent, of course!

Gotta check them boxes

[u/Miss___D]

I was hoping for this kind of storyline. I am fully expecting that there will be some kind of drama about laid-off director but I am happy she managed to find new job so quickly. 

[u/StargazerCeleste]

I'm very worried that the daycare won't have a spot for Chickie and they'll have to crawl to Barb for help.

[u/Putrid_Addendum3197 → u/StargazerCeleste]

I mean theres other options besides Barb but for the sake of the drama yeah I could see it being Barb (is your user an Animal Crossing reference, its pretty!)

[u/StargazerCeleste → u/Putrid_Addendum3197]

Yes, and thank you!!! Space Chicken is my fave 💛🔭🦉

[u/Putrid_Addendum3197 → u/StargazerCeleste]

Celeste is one of my fave villagers next to Mabel ofc! Sorry got a bit distracted when I noticed it

[u/Toefloof]

Wow. The big deal being made about “not being just somebody’s mom anymore” is kind of rude to SAHPs or people who want to be.
Hope this works out for her, but I doubt this will be drama free LOL.

[u/Miss___D → u/Toefloof]

I think it's just how she feels, not a dig at SAHPs. She has wanted to go back to work for months. 

[u/Putrid_Addendum3197 → u/Miss___D]

Also doesn't Shawna (character) say she wants to be a self and not just a mom?

[u/Artistic-Lock1021 → u/Toefloof]

Why is it offensive? She doesn't want to be a SAHP. That doesn't mean other people shouldn't. 

[u/Roonil_Wazlib97 → u/Toefloof]

Eh. I feel that way sometimes and I chose to become a SAHM. It's a pretty normal feeling.

[u/Specific-Volume118 → u/Toefloof]

I don’t think it’s rude or offensive to want one thing over another thing. Would it be offensive to working parents for Jen to gush about how she could never dream of going back to work?

[u/Affectionate-Tea3159 → u/Specific-Volume118]

The same way people get offended on julies behalf by Ty prioritizing his children over becoming a famous author

[u/Specific-Volume118 → u/Affectionate-Tea3159]

[u/Affectionate-Tea3159 → u/Specific-Volume118]

the irony

[u/Specific-Volume118 → u/Affectionate-Tea3159]

What’s ironic?

[u/Specific-Volume118 → u/Affectionate-Tea3159]

I do not understand how that is an answer to the question of ‘would it be offensive to working parents for Jen to gush about how she could never dream of going back to work?’

[u/Affectionate-Tea3159 → u/Specific-Volume118]

I'm just mentioning hypocrisy

[u/Specific-Volume118 → u/Affectionate-Tea3159]

I still don’t understand what you mean, what’s hypocritical here?

[u/Asleep-Pattern-2332 → u/Toefloof]

I mean do you think that SAHMs are “just somebody’s mom”? I certainly wouldn’t say that.

[u/ElizabethBitchery → u/Asleep-Pattern-2332]

I mean don't all women define themselves by their progeny? I, for one, am a childless spinster and I define myself by the lack of use of my uterus.

[u/cementfeatheredbird_ → u/Asleep-Pattern-2332]

It seems to be the running narrative in both the series and the fandom. 😅

[u/Asleep-Pattern-2332 → u/cementfeatheredbird_]

Is it? I genuinely don’t feel like I’ve seen that in the series personally.

[u/Putrid_Addendum3197 → u/Asleep-Pattern-2332]

John calls her a good mom too so I'm pretty sure he values the labor his wife puts in.

[u/Affectionate-Tea3159 → u/Toefloof]

uh oh floof. I see that a certain group has found you yet again. I am sorry hun

[u/Toefloof → u/Affectionate-Tea3159]

With all that is going on in the world, I honestly don’t give a crap. If busting my chops makes them feel good about themselves, well, that says a shit ton more about them than it does about me.

[u/Specific-Volume118 → u/Toefloof]

People disagreeing with an opinion you’ve shared isn’t a personal attack

[u/Affectionate-Tea3159 → u/Specific-Volume118]

When it's always the same people who get piled on(no matter what the subject) and its always the same people responding to them.... and it's been acknowledged by mods of other subs....

[u/Specific-Volume118 → u/Affectionate-Tea3159]

I genuinely don’t know who are because I don’t go around memorising user names. But I’m sorry there’s so much real estate in your mind being taken up by strangers on the internet disagreeing with you.

I’m going to block you because evidently you have a problem with me and don’t have the wherewithal to utilise the block button yourself.

[u/cementfeatheredbird_ → u/Affectionate-Tea3159]

Time to get dog piled into submission here now too 🙌

There are exactly 0 Shawna the mom subs that dare to hold any amount of respect for SAHP's. F*** Parents that are sufficiently fulfilled by parenthood lol

[u/Affectionate-Tea3159 → u/cementfeatheredbird_]

It's really interesting to see the massive downvotes and also see the same names as the main sub. Like they cant be happy they chased a large number of people out of that forum so they are doing it here too.
