Jakob's Ingebrigtsen's returns to social media posts video saying she's often in tears as a new mom and it's super hard

I empathize with the idea that parenting is heavier than expected. Birth is wildly celebrated and too little is said about challenging postpartum experiences. Posting to social media seems like a cry for help, and I hope understanding and effective support is delivered to the family.

Mods, I'm not sure why my post was unacceptably sanitized by you and left wondering whether it was a dubious sanitization? I said KINDLY from the sincerity of my heart that the writing was on the wall regarding Elisabeth's parental woes concerning being a mum and that the cause of her lack of resilience may be attributed to US Surgeon-General Vivek Murthy's grim finding that social media and technology in general negatively affects mental and social health and well-being in the first place. I hope you will properly differentiate my opinion in the future as this is not subtle enough from you.

Cheers :)

Not in agreement here. In my conservative Christian community, people are stoic and prayerful all the time, quite unlike the wild wild west where parties and all are all the rage. I don't think there is any merit to your statement that birth is definitively wildly (what's wildly?) celebrated and too little (what's little?) about postpartum experiences.

On the contrary, lots of things are said all the time everywhere in every culture and jurisdiction about challenging postpartum experiences. There is no less than 1000 groups online and offline worldwide reserved for new mums to get together and socialize and exchange tips and information about child-rearing.

Thanks for the tip Khamis. "Widely celebrated" is the correct phrase.

You used a word 'Jesus' in vain and committed blasphemy, then say 'let her be a mum and shut up' quite disrespectfully and rudely I would think.

How is your comment kind according to stipulatory guidelines of Rojo huh???????

Compared to my just sanitized comments yours is infinitely transgressing of the rules of this thread. Your comment would be the first I will pull the plug on if I were also the best mod on earth!!!!!

A few months ago in March at the world indoor a brilliant and gifted athlete by the name of Josh Kerr ran the fastest final 200m in the last 10 or even 20 years for any event from 800m-10000m on the track of a fast enough 3000m race, 25.19s to be more specific and in lane 2 for at least half of it.

Again I do repeat, this was a few months ago, not a few years or decades ago!!!!!!!!!!!

Then this fickle board goes on to claim Kerr needed to have ran 25.19, or otherwise implied, so very recently like perhaps yesterday, last week or at minimum 1 month ago for it to factor into his winning peak shape and form he should be in for Paris Olympics next month.

This fickle board is so fickle, so impatient, so short-fused, so lacking in long-sufferance and faith that they get all itchy and agitated at 4 months between March and July 2024 as if they were 4 years or 4 decades!!!!!!!!!

Well, who in the last 10 or even 20 years (way more than 4 months) has closed a final 200m at any distance event from 800m to 10000m on the track, supershoes or no supershoes, in 25.19s with half of it in lane 2 out wide?????????

Does everybody on this board know how damn fast is 25.19s in lane 2 for half of it?????? If I need to be objective I can and will be, dun test it!!!

If my man Josh Kerr of GB needs to be lethal, he will mark my words folks. He is lethal on a 'needs basis', only if he needs to and that's the beauty of Josh Kerr's poison/sting. Jakob WILL LOSE the 1500m sadly this way......foregone conclusion folks......

Who is this retard clogging this thread with absolute drivel and why won't he go away

True, your mother or Jakob's mother would sacrifice the world for or die for you and Jakob respectively but those were mothers and human beings of a different generation, the more pristine and morally abiding generation who had their faces turned much closer to God's. Not after 2000 or the millennials who are very depraved and corrupt. But would Jakob sacrifice anything big enough for his wife or child? He would first take out a calculator I suppose because he needs to know the odds, it's never unconditional enough for this generation of men and women.

I'm not advocating for handing Josh Kerr the 1500m gold medal on a silver platter but I'm neither saying for Jakob to quit now either. Life has to go on and the future needs to run into space and time. What Jakob can do is only to do damage limitation and repair and what Josh Kerr can do is be a good man and send a hug to Jakob. Josh Kerr should be careful not to take advantage of Jakob's failures as a husband and father and try to rile him up as that can infuriate Jakob and cause him to exact revenge on Josh by exactly wrestling back the Paris gold medal from him.

A smart Josh Kerr will do the politically correct thing and disarm Jakob at all costs, make him comfortable by giving him a hug and smile, messages of love etc so that he can win the Paris gold BY AMBUSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Josh Kerr main job would be ensure Jakob goes into Paris Olympics feeling no more threatened by him that he is already so that his guard is slightly disarmed or maintained as per normal and Josh Kerr can capitalize on it and zip past him in the final 200m and win again.

I just watched this and one of my very useful life skills is that i speak fluent Norwegian. The way in which she spoke was very honest, very caring and discussed a lot of the positives as well as the challenges of the family’s lifestyle. She spoke with love and was grateful for being surrounded by family and friends as well as being grateful for the time she is able to spend with Jakob when he is not travelling. There was some comment on challenges that all new moms face.

Elle St Pierre didn't post a whiney, blubbering video shortly after having Ivan talking about how hard it is and how much she missed running.

jakob ran a 25.4 out of lane 2 in a 3:34 race, while waving his arms at the crowd. 3:34 in the 1500 is slightly more impressive than a 7:42 3000.
