Even referring to myself as "earth mother" has brought me some incredibly disgusting messages out of nowhere. 😳

@bijouxbroussard We had a CD (yes, this was ye olden days!) of music for young children called "Earth Mother Lullabies". We would play it to help our daughter fall asleep in her crib.

@DrWatson It sounds beautiful. There’s nothing untoward about the term. But then there’s SW definitions.

@bijouxbroussard That anyone would find the term to be anything but innocent would never have occurred to me, but ...... why do I keep getting surprised by what can happen here?!

I'm sorry you have had to deal with this.
