    Feelings you’d have twins..?

    @twinmum I'm an identical twin and my sister was a stillbirth. The loss of my sister was very hard on my parents. I feel like while they didn't have twin children, they now have twin grandchildren. I sometimes wonder if this was the universe's way of making up for it. Plus, I once had a...

    should i be offended by this Q from my direct report?

    @thfdoc WTF-- Not just you. That seems very unprofessional. I'm trying to think in what circumstances this type of question would ever be okay. If Jim dog sits for you for a week and really likes your dog, can he keep him? If Tina borrows your sweater and really likes it, can she keep it...

    My husband didn’t know our son’s full birth date

    @mozarella I had a friend whose parents did this and she told her 3rd grade teacher that it was her birthday in 2 days and then her secret birthday in 16 days. 🤦

    Choosing NOT to do daycare

    @fab01 Depending on what exactly they wanted, you might be able to find a local college kid type for 15 hours or so/ have your spouse go in to work a little later. I feel like personal training is often at kind of weird hours so you might be able to make that work as a family. (Maybe do 6:00 to...

    Choosing NOT to do daycare

    @fab01 You don't mention what your job is. I think for me that might be a deciding factor. That said, if we could financially swing it, I would be a SAHM
