Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Bumpie Group Chat: germy ball pits, hospital nerves & what is pregnancy announcement etiquette?
Q: Am I the Asshole for announcing pregnancy in a group chat while another friend was already pregnant and close in timing?
Most responses leaned that the original poster was not an asshole, but they could have handled it more sensitively—private messaging first and gauging the other person's response before broadcasting to the group would have been kinder and avoided awkward energy.
What are the hidden gifts of your neurodivergent brain? OCD, ADHD and more - with Jess Urlichs
Q: Did Jess see any positive aspects or 'superpowers' associated with neurodiversity?
Yes, she highlighted how the ADHD/OCD combination can create strong analytical and creative capabilities, ability to connect ideas quickly, and resilience under pressure, viewing these traits as strengths that contribute to her writing and work with her son.
What are the hidden gifts of your neurodivergent brain? OCD, ADHD and more - with Jess Urlichs
Q: What coping strategies did Jess share for intrusive thoughts related to parenting?
She discussed leaning into senses to move the mind away from intrusive thoughts, grounding techniques, and accepting thoughts without letting anxiety take over, plus practical steps like supervising safety and using routines to manage triggers.
What are the hidden gifts of your neurodivergent brain? OCD, ADHD and more - with Jess Urlichs
Q: How did Jess describe the reality of OCD before and after motherhood?
She explained that OCD is often misunderstood, extending beyond cleaning, and involves intrusive thoughts linked to anxiety; motherhood amplified the experience and led to a formal diagnosis, with coping strategies centering on reframing thoughts and focusing on safety.
Bumpie Group Chat: shoutout to solo/single parents, what’s a sleep under & am I the asshole when my MIL…
Q: Am I the asshole for not being flexible and welcoming the change of plans when my mother-in-law showed up unannounced before my daughter's first day of school?
The hosts argue that a heads-up is important; unannounced visits disrupt preparation and emotions around big moments, so setting expectations and asking for advance notice would be a reasonable boundary rather than aggression.
