it’s a malicious and vindictive thing to report someone to social services. clearly Rachel is not going to win parent of the year, but she is adequately parenting her children to the best of her ability (like I’m sure we all are).
But my god why does she have bring this social services report back to her having a “free birth” literally no one cares you had your baby at home. She was fortunate it was a good birth and the baby was born healthily otherwise I’m sure she would have happily blue lighted herself and her baby to the nearest conventional doctor who could have helped her.
Now she can continue to reinforce this narrative of how her amazing free birth is rubbing everyone up the wrong way and she was doing what was natural and sacred and it feeds into her identity of going against the grain and being free and in tune with herself and anti conventional medicine.
Maybe a Swedish person could enlighten us if having a homebirth is really that unusual?
