@katrina2017 I'm so grateful for the midwives I've had here in the States because they've been more like what you described, but clearly bound by their workplace's policies. So they'd indicate support when they approved of something I did that was against hospital policy. I appreciated it...

@tendercarelawnservice I wasn't even making $1k/week when I was working. We couldn't afford for me to go back to work. Which is such a bizarre concept.

@readingdad My BP was constantly borderline throughout my didi pregnancy. I got sent to L&D triage so many times for it, just for it to come down enough for them to send me home. The day of my induction right at 38 weeks, I got to the hospital and insisted on being wheeled up to L&D. They were...

@peace608 Well so far I send one of them to pre-school in underwear, and he does great there, then comes home, refuses to pee on the potty, then shits on the floor and throws up at the sight of it. 🙃 I can't even entertain the thought of potty training the other one yet.

@mndad2 The math wasn't mathing!

@mndad2 Yeah hearing "it doesn't get easier, just different was disheartening because I was struggling SO MUCH and there's no way I could have dealt with the same level of difficulty indefinitely. But it also felt like total bullshit, because the people who said it did not seem as fucked up as I...

@jay1971 I had a feeling that's the post you meant 😂 It got kind of nasty in there!

@fab01 My twin boys are 2.5 years old now and we haven't done daycare. I would absolutely LOVE to be able to send them even just one day a week, but it's impossible cost-wise currently. I have a masters degree but I'm not established enough in my field yet to be getting enough income from it to...
