What insights does Desi Lydic share about motherhood?
You're listening to Comedy Central.
Yesterday was Mother's Day, and I got my mom the perfect gift, a life-sized Trevor Noah pillow, so that way when she misses me, she can give me a hug. Yeah, that's not my mom. Our own Desi Lydic is a new mom, and she has some tips to make moms feel special any day of the year.
Hey, everyone. There's a lot of stuff they don't tell you before you have a baby, like how much love you can feel for this tiny little creature and how much that tiny little creature can in your hair. But the biggest surprise is how many folks are going to tell you that you suck at being a mom.
The rise of mom shaming, women criticizing other women for their approaches to parenting. According to a today.com survey, more than 90% of people feel they've been judged for their parenting decisions. Annie Moscato says she was judged for not breastfeeding. While shopping for formula, she was approached by a stranger who told her breast is best.
Wait, breast is best? Who's the creep walking around the store and whispering about boobs? And sure, breast is best, unless you're breastfeeding in public, and then everyone wants you to put those tatas away. Because boobs are like cars.
What is Rosebud Baker's perspective on motherhood in her special?
The second you put miles on those puppies, their value goes way down. But that's the world of mom shaming. I swear, it's like the second you become a mom, people just can't help themselves. When I was single, nobody came up to me and said, hey, if you buy that warming lubricant, you might as well be using hot sauce on your vagina. If only they had. Mom shaming sucks, but don't worry, because I'm going to show you how to nap... Sorry, hold on one second.
Oh.
Hey buddy, it's okay. Mommy's just making a quick video for the African. Okay, where was I? Oh, right. A few simple rules to prevent mommy shaming. Rule number one. You can't prevent it. You can't even prevent strangers from giving you unsolicited advice.
How does Olivia Munn discuss 'tiger mom' parenting styles?
Like when I was pregnant, someone told me to prep for nursing by rubbing a loofah on my nipples. I was like, thank you, sir, but I'm really just here to pick up my dry cleaning. And listen, the shaming is coming no matter who you are.
Date night firestorm. New mom Chrissy Teigen out to dinner with husband John Legend over the weekend, leaving their two-week-old daughter Luna at home. A private decision gone public. The TV host met with harsh criticism on social media. Spend bonding time with your baby and not let the nanny or babysitter raise them.
You're worried about the quality of John Legend and Chrissy Teigen's childcare? It's not like they're getting their nanny off Craigslist. They're rich celebrities. They could get Mary Poppins to watch their baby. As in literally call Julie Andrews and get her to come out of retirement to babysit in character as Mary Poppins. And look out, because mommy shaming can come from any direction, which brings me to my second rule. Never let your guard down, even when you think you're in a safe place.
What themes does Jenette McCurdy explore in her memoir?
My OB-GYN was asking what the situations would be like after the baby's born. And I told him, with our lifestyle, we do need to put him in daycare when he's two months. And he got a little sad. He told me, if you're my wife, I would much rather for you to stay home and not miss any bonding moment with the little kid. Wait, what? If you were my wife? Was her OBGYN hitting on her? Whoa, doc. Buy a lady a virgin pina colada first. Geez. Oh, good God. Hold on. Oh, God. How did you get poop all the way up your neck? Jesus.
What do moms really want according to Desi Lydic?
Sorry. Where was I? Right. Moms, don't let the shaming get you down. Remember, rule number three. It is not your fault. Wanna know whose fault it is? It's your baby's fault because you had a plan. So did I. I was gonna have a natural birth in a freestanding tub of smart water. I was gonna breastfeed until my baby was 156 months and then junior roll down was all that noise. Scooby, stop it. Stop eating that diaper. Put it down. Look, we are all just doing the best we can. You wouldn't even believe the crazy that moms have to deal with.
What insights does Zach Wahls provide about having two moms?
Oh great, the dragon's back.
