@transgendererer It is definitely more than twice as hard, lol. Love my twins, it is super sweet and special, but no. Just no.

Marrying is worth the risk.
Kids are worth the risk.
Church is worth the risk.
Maintaining friendships is worth the risk.
Getting older is worth the risk.
Life is worth the risk.

You can’t choose when you fail. But you can choose to fail back into the arms of Christ.

@BMcGrewvy And the people said Amen.

@HormoneHangover It’s a different kind of hard. Which kind is better or worse for you depends on a lot of things, not least of which are your temperament and personality 🤷‍♀️

[Constantine @SinnerSaved45]

I honestly think the wisdom of "clean your own room" is still the best advice you can take, and it's the one that @jordanbpeterson should be known for, and it's the one that seems obvious but very few people actually do (literally and metaphorically)

We all care about all the big global, meta things. None of us has real impact on getting it fixed. Your attention should be 99% on what is closest to you, and making that the best you can in all the ways you can. Your room. Your home. Your family, Your work. Your church. Your neighborhood.

@BMcGrewvy Get you some ice cream girl!

@jballer @ClickingSeason Right? It’s been over a decade since they started recommending early introduction of allergenic foods.

@DeanAbbott The idea that “postpartum bodies” in the abstract can be meaningfully compared to your own wife-who-you-love’s postpartum body is insane.

@BMcGrewvy There’s a bunch but here’s one. I’m not quite actually this cynical but they make me laugh. https://t.co/fHmj3LVT6F

@NevinLawrence Honestly this is better than if they got it right away 😂😅

[Rachel @writnwhimsy]

@janesue821 I don’t even want my husband in the kitchen when I’m cooking most of the time 😅😂

[Rachel @writnwhimsy]

@goblinodds I am truly happy for people who have a good experience and most of my pregnancies were moderately easy. I will say that posts that read smug/oblivious to why anyone complains vs grateful for a good experience/result hit different.

There are moments I can distinctly feel God sanctifying me and I am not enjoying it.

@LorentLouise Real

@MRaynes1979 @ryanburge This was my first thought as well. How much of the disparity is simply that 20-somethings are a smaller percentage of society than in the past?

[Rachel @writnwhimsy]

@shebringsjoy Praying. I’m invested now!

[Rachel @writnwhimsy]

@shebringsjoy Interesting. It was a pretty big no no in the circles I was in unless the divorce/remarriage happened prior to becoming Christians or there was adultery by the other party.
