@kaferty I mean, it says that there’s an increased chance that a single jab does not provide immunity, but a second dose does… and we have a two dose schedule for exactly that reason: not everyone gets immunity from a single MMR dose, and a second dose increases the percentage of people who gain...

@whitm11 When I want to slack off, I remember I have three kids depending on my paycheck, so possibly? But I also always had a strong work ethic and would go above and beyond for promotions and job security.

@nomadnurse My husband’s ex did this. Threatened to kill him, their daughter, and me in the school parking lot in front of the resource officer. The judge granted him a protective order but not his daughter. She wound up not complying with custody and using parental alienation to keep them...

@grace2018 I started buying pasteurized, non homogenized milk from a local farm (in the U.S.) and it is SO much more delicious.

@aklil Yup. I have two, and I’m lucky enough to be in demand in my line of work, and I’m lucky enough to live in a good neighborhood and have lovely neighbors who hold the same values I do, and I’m lucky enough that my state still hasn’t removed my rights even though the governor is pushing hard...

@doots So, one of the signs of low blood sugar is aggression. My husband did this to me when he had (misdiagnosed, uncontrolled) diabetes; basically, he was told he was pre-diabetic and should after his diet, but what he actually had was adult-onset type 1 diabetes, which cannot be controlled by...

@kumari5050 We joke that there’s always some sort of national disaster the year my kids were born. I have a November 2016 (Zika and election year) and a July 2020 (fucking Covid lockdown started the day I was 20+0 weeks). Then I had a December 2023 due date and we basically held our breath the...

@wisper Pumping can be hands free. Breastfeeding is not. Also, again, depends on your company. Mine have all had “no childcare while working from home” clauses so I’d have been in HUGE trouble if someone called me and heard my baby. If they heard the pump, it was fine. Edited to add: also, I...

@wisper Pump and bottle feed when you’re working. I don’t recommend trying to work while providing childcare for your baby, as that’s typically frowned upon (or outright stated as something you can’t do in a WFH position, depending on your company). My husband is a SAHD and just fed them bottles...

@cheshire12134 But they don’t give you 24 weeks if you have twins, right? Or if you adopt a child and give birth a few months later (same calendar year), you don’t get 12 weeks per child. Like, I understand it’s legal but the “it’s one child” rationale is not applied consistently. 😑

@chillcwill I swear to god, I love my kids, but having a baby just before winter break can suck it. All the parents in my area are complaining that the kids only get 1.5 weeks off this year instead of 2 full weeks and I’m here like “dear god, did it have to be 1.5 weeks?!”

@chillcwill Edit to add # of kids: I have three kids, ages 7, 3, and 2 weeks old. I’m currently on maternity leave and both kids were out of school/preschool this week. I was doing great with my recovery the first week: kids went to school, I just had to care for myself and the newborn. This...
