    What kind of car do you drive?

    @olaitan I only have two so I have a Lexus sedan, but I'd totally get a minivan if I had three+. We've rented minivans before when we've gone on road trips and I really like the captains seats in the middle row.

    Do you all accommodate any kids activity/sport you can? Or do you draw a line even if you COULD make it happen?

    @dennisbon Our kids aren't involved in any activities because of this. My husband travels a decent amount and it's so exhausting to even think of doing this since it would be almost 100% on me. I regularly have meetings until 4:30-5:00 so it isn't possible to run them to events once school is...

    Are we the only ones struggling financially?

    @machia "New fence" is such a trigger for me now. We just had to pay $9,500 to install a new 8' wood fence 😑

    PUMP Act blocked

    @yunus061 I know it won't matter (my senators are Cruz and Cornyn) but I'll send a strongly worded email about how they clearly don't care about the babies they are forcing women to birth.

    what's fair when one parent travels half the week?

    @idontknow My husband travelled a lot pre-COVID (like 50-75%) and honestly not much changed in regards to splitting the labor 🙄. I know that's partially my fault. He's now looking at a new job that will require up to 50%, so we will need to discuss this and find a better solution. We...

    My husband didn’t know our son’s full birth date

    @smultronst%C3%A4llet Yes! My aunt passed away a few years ago and my mom (so her SIL) and I found out at her funeral that her real name was Martha, and not Elaine. Our minds were blown.

    PUMP Act blocked

    @lackadaisical Their goal is to have all women be SAHMs, and completely dependent on men. How many posts a week do we get on here with women saying they'd rather quit than go back to work at 6 weeks, or how it's not sustainable to keep their supply up because they have to pump in a storage room?

    OPINIONS WANTED - evaluating this maternity leave policy (in the U.S.)

    @yarnknitting I'd say that's pretty good for the US. It's definitely more than I got. Can you use vacation too?

    Is anyone else's pets driving you C R A Z Y during WFH?

    @myles0 I can relate. I started working from home permanently about 9 months before COVID because my company moved office locations and my commute was going to double. We have a large parrot and he never really bothered me that much until I had to work from home. Even though he doesn't...
