Reply to comment by EastVanMaam in How the mother's mood influences her baby's ability to speak. Scientists found even children whose mothers suffer from mild depressive mood that do not yet require medical treatment show early signs of delayed language development. by Wagamaga
That would be follow up research. No need to delay the release of the original study until solutions are found. Identifying the problem is good enough as a first step.

Utter BS. Start with helping before vilifying. Science should come with empathy

People come with empathy. Science should come without emotions or it colors the research.

Thank you for proving my point that publishing information on Reddit that piles on mothers during a time in history where they are vulnerable is irresponsible

Research should not be suppressed because it might hurt your feelings.

I’m a mom. I’ve got two and had two miscarriages. Stfu, please. All you have to do is replace “ primary care giver” with mother and it removes your emotional bias against information. If any primary care giver is depressed then children get spoken to less. This is a fact. The less they are spoken to the more likely it is they will be speech delayed. Fact. It isn’t personal. It’s just a thing that happens. Pointing out that it is a thing that happens also is not personal. You may be suffering from depression or have a lot of mom guilt that is causing you to take this study personally to the point you think information should be withheld from the public until they have a way to relieve you of your emotional issues. That is not their job. It is your job to seek relief. Researchers are not therapists. Emotions don’t matter.

I’m very sorry that happened to you. My good friend put a bullet in her brain due to PPD, so it is personal when psuedo science put this in the ether. Your cruel response certainly proves my point as well

I wasn’t cruel. I was matter of fact. There is a difference. I hold no I’ll will toward you. I’m very sorry for your friend and for your loss. Pregnancy is life changing and parenthood is something else. I have ptsd from my first and from my two miscarriages. All three were extremely traumatic and my first caused immense pain for months after. Luckily, my new guy popped out in seven minutes. I also had to spend three days in the hospital after for monitoring my blood pressure. It was wonderful. I ordered room service and watched Xfiles. Having a few days to myself before I had to deal with a toddler and a new born at the same time was great. I wish the US operated like Nordic countries. But alas...morons live here.

How exactly is scientific research ‘piling on’ new mothers?
