This story horrifies me and makes me wonder “could that have been me”? That’s obviously an extreme - but I feel like it could happen to anyone under the right circumstances. I have sympathy for the Mom (because I can’t imagine any Mom that would do this in a “sane” state of mind) but also feel extreme sadness for the kids and Father. PPP can come on suddenly and with almost no obvious warning signs. Take a look at Carol Coronado’s case. As a new Mom this story sparked a new and irrational fear in me.

Yes - buy used when you can! Facebook groups are also great for finding used goods. There are TONS of “everything free” and “buy nothing” groups for almost every area of MA.

I have a 7 month old and these groups have been a godsend for finding baby items in good condition. It feels great to not have to buy a bunch of crap that will be used for a month or two before it’s outgrown.
