@qork At my job, the first 5 days of leave have to be PTO until FMLA kicked in. Not sure why. It was easy to leave 2 days earlier than planned when I had a slow leak of amniotic fluid and had to go to the hospital. It probably has to do with your team also being out and your supervisor wanting...

@lesbian5eva My husband and I worked opposite shift when our son was small. Was supposed to be until he turned 1 then we were going for daycare. Then Covid lockdown happened and we did it until preschool. It was so rough. I didn’t realize what it would be like basically being single parents who...

@maves Thanks for sharing the update!

@jadaley07 This seems weird. If she had been in this preschool for 1.5 years already, why have they not mentioned her speech differences/offered assistance until now? It does seem like a cash grab if they are recommending all summer babies repeat preK4. I would trust your gut and enroll your kid...

@1stjohn0666 We fly to see family once a year (they live within a 4 hour drive, so we can see almost everyone in one trip). All other time off is just us 3 (sometimes my sister who lives an hour away joins). My husband feels more like your husband and I feel more like you about vacations and...

@nessofonett05 I would solve this before the arrival of the second kid. Too many women on here with multiple kids and a pattern of duties that is unfair and unsustainable. He can go to bed earlier, you each get a weekend day to sleep in, he does all bedtime routine while you do morning. Plenty...

@jenny777 No vasectomy yet- my husband is making his appointment ‘soon’ lol We decided to be OAD when my son turned 4. He’s 4.5 now, so we are now looking into the more permanent vasectomy.

@hirokoegan I can’t imagine the fear of feeling the blood moving. My son was also born via unplanned (almost) emergency c-section. Have you gone to therapy? I didn’t realize the level of my birth trauma until I started therapy (technically for other reasons, but all of it is my life). I waited...

@ray34iyf I wish my right leaning family would have their eyes finally open to the struggle. It was more like my mom seemed jealous and mad that I took as much time as I did while acting like a martyr for her miserable US maternity leave in the 1980s. I’m like just bc you survived doesn’t mean...
