    Do people with kids work *harder*?

    @123ab $150k for a single person in your early 20s is near the top 1%: https://dqydj.com/average-median-top-income-by-age-percentiles/ The $800k is for families, not an individual.

    Close call this morning but can’t figure out how

    @holl Weird, I swear I saw a comment here before recommending a futon off Amazon. What’s wrong with indentations?

    Unvaccinated Nanny

    @lauriesinglemom First of all, would absolutely not go with any childcare provider that didn’t have their COVID vaccine. It’s not even just that not having the vaccine is bad, but I wouldn’t want my kids being taught things but someone who may possibly be an anti-vaxxer / COVID denier. Second...

    Close call this morning but can’t figure out how

    @katrina2017 That’s a good idea! Yeah I basically do not move from whatever position I fall asleep in so that could work

    STM’s, did you actually “bounce back”?

    @cuteness20 Genetics is definitely part of it, but I also think what types of exercise you did are important too. I think it's easier to bounce back if you were doing strength training before/during pregnancy as muscle will burn more calories even at rest vs someone who was doing mostly or...

    How am I ever going to feel ok moving my firstborn to her own room?

    @christlike777 Probably because she doesn't want the baby to wake up the toddler

    Do people with kids work *harder*?

    @katrina2017 You keep missing the context that I'm talking about single people with no dependents. And yes you're right that any place with new grads making that much is HCOL/VHCOL, but not to the point where they can complain about having to do work for that much money. And a one bedroom...

    @katrina2017 $150k for a single person in your early 20s is near the top 1%: https://dqydj.com/average-median-top-income-by-age-percentiles/ The $800k is for families, not an individual. If you think a single person making $150k is "middle class" you are the one that's very out of touch

    Do people with kids work *harder*?

    @cins I can definitely appreciate the attitude of not being loyal to a company or sacrificing your mental health for one. I'd say even people my age (younger millenials) generally don't subscribe to company loyalty, or care all that much about getting to the top.

    Close call this morning but can’t figure out how

    @perviasrectas I’ll definitely skip the sleep sack next time. It’s nice for when he’s in the crib but laying next to me he gets my body heat

    Do people with kids work *harder*?

    @cins Ehh I work in a job where kids make $150 - $200k straight out of undergrad. While I don’t expect my gen Z reports to be working 60hr wks, I do have very low tolerance for people bitching about having to work hard in a job that puts you in the 1% at 23. I’ve even had conversations with...

    Do people with kids work *harder*?

    @whitm11 Are you sure this isn't just a seniority thing? I definitely work more post-kids but that's because I'm a senior manager now, not a junior engineer. There's also the fact that people with kids may be more motivated to not be fired/laid off since they're providing for someone else.

    Close call this morning but can’t figure out how

    @joan1431 Ohh I didn’t even think about that. That could be possibility as he liked to snack in the early mornings

    Close call this morning but can’t figure out how

    I had a very close suffocation call this morning but have been racking my brain trying to figure out how it happened. My son is 9wks, he mostly sleeps in the crib at night but we will cosleep in the very early hours of the morning. We are following all safe sleep 7 guidelines—I nurse him, we...

    Do you tell your pediatrician you’re bedsharing ?

    @person47 No. I don’t see the point since pediatricians are basically obligated to lecture you about the ABCs of sleep
