    Anyone else hate working?

    @liz555 I liked working, but as my house became bigger and when my job exceeds 40 hrs/week, then I hate it. When I liked my job, it was because I found the work interesting enough. I work in IT and I usually feel satisfied with my work and have some flexibility in independent work, helping...

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

    @qork She just sounds unsure. My own bosses over time would have let me take off and then shrug off any fallout. But your supervisor might be more timid or may have had a bad experience. I wouldn't overthink it.

    What’s your worst part of being a one and done parent?

    @mercuryash It can be consuming. I know you want to vent but my heart goes out to you and i wish to share some tips in case it helps. When my son was that age we kept a membership to the local children's museum. It was less than $100 for a year for one kid plus one adult. We only went on...

    I’m scared of my husband going back to work on Monday

    @marialavender My heart goes out to you. I was crushed when my husband was at work. But I actually was doing better by the time my baby was 7 weeks old. Hopefully you'll feel better soon too. Can you have anyone visit you or can you visit anyone? It helps. I gave my baby a bedtime routine...

    Should I let my kids walk home by themselves ?

    @mrscott1026 One of the kids in our school meets his gma at the corner near the crossing guard. You mentioned there is only one crossing and there is a guard. Maybe you can meet them at that corner. It might be a way to ease into being by themselves a bit?

    Preschool Graduation at 9:30am

    @searchingforchrist Elementary school will be worse. You don't realize because you are there every day and you're ready for it. But it's worse. Omg. Every month there's something. We get by with a wish and a prayer like waiting for God's miracles. Oh and you'll get the bus schedule the day...

    I missed another first and I’m really sad about it

    @dezzy I remember one time I brought my son to see the local train and I thought wow this is the first time he sees a real Choo Choo. Shortly after, I remembered a train goes right behind his daycare and they can see it from the side. Like multiple times a day. But he was still thrilled to see...

    Please do *not* buy your kids Hoo Jit Zu toys

    @aeternusnox Just want to jump in and say the inflated form in a toy doesn't seem to be fully inflated. We had a broken squeeze ball that I captured in a zip lock bag and accidentally wound up by the sink. The beads swelled up almost twice more. I suppose it can very depending on the toy. I am...

    Need to vent - accused of child abuse

    @kaleidoscopeheart One time I took my baby to the ER and when I relayed the story about how bad the last 12 hours or whatever were, the doctors asked why we took so long to go to there. I said we were in the waiting room all day!

    @aeternusnox Literally why they shouldn't be around children. Hence the post.
