    My supervisor didn’t say I was ok to take the day before my planned c-section off…?

    Is OAD becoming more common in part because parenting is harder now?

    @mikecrb Oh I don’t think harder, I think different and expectations are different, for everyone.

    Its too hard for me

    @oasis5004 Have you talked to your partner and been clear you didn’t have a child to be a single parent? Spoken to a lawyer? Honestly, you’re a single parent and if he clearly doesn’t care about being a father, don’t give him the privilege for nothing. Now, can you afford a nanny?

    Why isn’t this particular risk of back to back pregnancies ever discussed?

    @mybridges It IS discussed. OBGYN’s tell patients how long to wait - if it was a vaginal birth, c-section, of course if anything else was going on, and it’s talked about all over different Reddit subs, but that doesn’t mean people listen.

    Parents with 6-13 children, how do you afford them?

    @carlosmarx So you’re just extremely wealthy and hopefully as a CEO his schedule is flexible.

    Why is overworking a flex?

    @atlkate Well the thing is they get to go home and relax, so when they stop working they don’t have the second job of having a child, but also probably know promotions and moves are made during these ‘off-hour’ times. But if that’s a boundary for you then you express you’re unavailable or...

    Setting up a routine isn’t a priority right now

    @kayla220 I’m not disagreeing, what I am saying is I think your mood changes too. I think you change. There is a point at which kids like predictability, but I think the predictability is still there if you’re going with the flow, because the flow is whatever your baby wants, there’s a rhythm...

    Setting up a routine isn’t a priority right now

    @kayla220 Maybe. But are those routines for the baby or for the parent. Meaning babies, children of course learn their surroundings and what life is, from their parents. So if you feel secure with a routine, they do, if you’re pushing a routine because you think it’s for the baby meanwhile...

    Dumb question about pack 'n plays

    @lauri73 I might try sleep from time to time in it and perhaps lose it from playtime.

    Setting up a routine isn’t a priority right now

    @terrastorm It’s whatever works for YOU, the routine or rhythm or even a schedule isn’t for the baby, it’s for the parent.

    Factors that contributed to your OAD decision

    @walid373 I’ll say this, we have 5 remaining embryos and are OAD. It’s hard to say goodbye to them or that idea and so that’s probably why they’re still frozen and our child is 2 and we’re both on the cusp of 40 and wouldn’t want to go beyond that in having another anyway. It’s hard it is and...

    Is our nursery dark enough? (Black out curtains)

    @luqmanmichel We didn’t have blackout curtains, his room wasn’t completely blackout dark for over a year, even at night.

    Witching Hour… W T F

    @becky_jewel This sounds like a video we had to watch in the hospital about purple crying and the witching hour. It’s a pretty common occurrence for better or worse.

    My bonus was pro-rated to deduct my maternity leave

    @mh86 So strange, no usually salary has nothing to do with it, but lucky you.

    My bonus was pro-rated to deduct my maternity leave

    @mh86 Well, no you didn’t have 25 working days unpaid, you had 98 days that you didn’t work. This is akin unfortunately to the same way you don’t accrue PTO for holidays or day you’re out on PTO.
