    Conscription in Wartime & S-A-H-Parenting (aka SAHD =/= SAHM)

    @mandy123 But you are saying that by virtue of having a certain set of genitalia, you are biologically more suited to military service or childrearing. How big of you to acknowledge that any sex can be in the military or raise children. You simply caveat that they won’t be very good at the...

    my worst nightmare.. my toddler is in the hospital via ambulance

    @alwayscurious Unresponsiveness like that can be a lot of different things, not just sepsis. But your instincts were correct—clearly, something was amiss, and now he is being treated/evaluated. Sometimes knowing symptoms can be a double-edged sword when it comes to being hypervigilant about...

    my worst nightmare.. my toddler is in the hospital via ambulance

    @alwayscurious That’s very scary but it sounds like you did everything right! Does your toddler have a pre-existing condition that you are monitoring? Is there a reason you are so concerned about sepsis?

    Anyone ever experience an off interaction w/ one of your kid’s providers?

    @roxchristian There are valid reasons for them saying that stuff but vibes are a thing. Listen to your instincts. Maybe give it another try, address what isn’t working for you “can you provide written instructions for us to work on between sessions with actionable items?” is a great way to...

    How do you accomplish the mindset change to be comfortable/confident in your decision to be a SAHP?

    @oddduck123 Hi! I have degrees and had a decade+ long career making very good money and left to be a SAHP. It is. There’s no sugarcoating it, and I don’t think it’s odd to feel that way. Going from being self-sufficient financially to dependent on someone, even a spouse, is scary. You...

    Anyone on here who’s partner isn’t an abusive a-hole?

    @fostera I've started making the distinction between working and employed. I work, but I am not employed. My husband is employed. Just wanted to offer that to you if you like it, because it's been a mental shift that's helped me feel more secure in being a SAHP.

    Newborn Size Clothes are a Scam and Other Thoughts

    @believer420 this is the only reason i have tiny NB clothes at all. i know a lot of babies drop weight in the first few days after they’re born and have to pack it back on. having some possibly better fitting options seems practical - but for all of OP’s reasons, i have a very small number of NB...

    Soon to be SAHP, but it may not be able to stay that way…

    @paula135711 One thing that's served me well is remembering that I'm the only one who has to live my life. What I mean by that is it really doesn't matter what other people think or these external pressures (even if I've internalized them), since I'm the one who has to live with the...

    Soon to be SAHP, but it may not be able to stay that way…

    @paula135711 the after school schedule makes total sense for tutoring. given your degrees, you can likely bring in a lot more money for tutoring than a typical college kid would (i would think!) it’s very worth exploring, and you could also tutor college level people which should open up times...
