When it comes to making decisions in our everyday lives, many of us turn to Yelp for guidance—be it choosing a restaurant, a dentist, or a reliable plumber. But have you ever thought about consulting Yelp for something as monumental as deciding to have a baby?
Enter the witty mind of comic and writer, Linda Hayes, creator of the blog The Quirky Whims. While browsing reviews on baby products one day, she found herself pondering how she would rate the experience of welcoming a newborn. Inspired, she crafted a series of imaginary “Yelp reviews” featuring avatars of friends that perfectly capture the wild ride of parenting. These reviews not only deliver a hearty laugh but also highlight the vast array of experiences parents face during the newborn stage.
Some parents breeze through this phase with ease (I was definitely not one of those). Meanwhile, others seem to think parenting is a walk in the park, leaving the rest of us scratching our heads in confusion. Linda notes, “I adore my toddler, but the newborn phase was a whole different story. Some days were absolutely magical, while others felt like an uphill battle, and that’s me being polite!”
