(58,785 posts)the marriage of a black woman into the "sun never sets" white colonial British royal family will be seen as a great moment marking a giant change of eras, but of course the ugliness in the minority of people who viciously oppose change doesn't just get switched off like that.
Sounds like sometimes there's just no more room to suck it up, even for them. At least, at 5 months, the the unrelenting exhausting struggles nature requires until babies are able to raise their heads and turn over are in the past and life's become a much happier series of exciting new triumphs and adventures.
The increased freedom that comes with each new ability gained by the baby means a bit of regained freedom from his intense, existential need for the parents. My trauma was long ago, but boy do I remember.
