A Colorful Controversy: Is it Just a Blanket or a Symbol?
Our crafty mom-to-be was simply trying to involve her son in preparing for his baby sister, but she found herself in the middle of a colorful controversy. Her rainbow blanket, chosen by her son for its vibrant colors, sparked a debate about ‘rainbow babies’ – a term used for a child born after a miscarriage. Accused of disrespecting those who’ve suffered pregnancy losses, she’s left questioning her innocent intentions. But was she really in the wrong, or was it just a storm in a teacup? Let’s see what the internet thinks of this knotty situation… ️
