    Are we the only ones struggling financially?

    @sunflower232 I just want to say a lot of people will say “my mortgage costs less than my rent so it’s better!” But rent is the MOST you’ll pay while your mortgage is the least. On paper Renting may cost more than mortgage (and in your case only slightly) but you can expect to spend about...

    8+3 weeks and tell me it gets better

    @sarahs_ I ended up with hyperemesis so I was down and out until 28 weeks. Then I was good until 32 weeks and the I developed sciatica. But now baby is out, I’m 12 weeks PP and I feel a ton better. Only up 7 lbs from baby birth.

    I think I was threatened at work today

    @lmhall Just for my own curiosity— what happens if OP emails and cc’s HR and if HR is competent they don’t respond to avoid confirming or retract what the director said and make changes— then does Op have a case bc HR “fixed it”?

    Took a job 6 months ago that is hybrid. (Advertised 2 days a week) and they just announced they are going back to fully in office

    @kobestutri Explain that! “I’m sick much less, I can poop in peace, I can control the temperature in my workspace, cost savings in gas which is $4 a gallon… would you like me to go on?”

    Took a job 6 months ago that is hybrid. (Advertised 2 days a week) and they just announced they are going back to fully in office

    @katrina2017 Probably someone who’s job is to basically watch other people and wants to seem important so they want everyone back in the office

    @ilkhanapit I work in this area of data for employees (like employee engagement) and did all upper management wanting to get value out of their office space. And get their money worth.

    Maternity Leave- what would you do?

    @mbl92212 FMLA rule is actually federal. Happened to me and my husband (not teachers but both worked for a big company— think like we both worked for amazon or something)

    1.5 hr Commute 1x a week

    @rcaper I doubt they can commit to that. I’ve had it committed too but then they get a new leader who wants different rhythms and it changes

    How? 4, 5, 6 kids? Enlighten me please

    @despet93 We structured our lives to be able to afford this. We paid off all our debt before TTC. We gave up eating out, we drove cars from 1996, we lived in a tiny studio apartment. We didn’t buy new clothes and haircuts were great clips. We did this for 2 years and got debt free. We now have...

    Day 2 as working mom. O. M. G

    @manishk012 I waited until my daughter was 7 months. She just started daycare Monday for two days a week and it was so much better dropping her off knowing we were both ready and she was excited to go and play and I was excited for a break vs. both of us being very sad.

    To wait or not to wait...

    @zzareyan Exactly! You have no idea if it’ll hit you early, later or never and be mild or bad so I wouldn’t want to chance it esp. if it’s SO early you wouldn’t be telling anyone.

    To wait or not to wait...

    @zzareyan My caution would be if OP tried now she’d be 6-8 weeks right around Christmas. 6 weeks is when fatigue and nausea hit me hard. I was vomiting 8 times a day and could hardly keep any food down. I was sleeping like 14 hours a day. 25% of women don’t get sick but 75% do. And I thought I’d...

    To wait or not to wait...

    @silverthorne I will say hormones around ovulation are really strong. There is a hormonal reason you feel the urge now. Our bodies are designed to want us to procreate to carry on our species. I would stick to your date. I was someone who got really sick when I was 6 weeks pregnant until week...

    I don’t really have time to make this rant but I feel like I’m about to explode

    @eleader22 Boundaries! Leave the house. Good for you. Good for husband. Good for baby. Prep a bottle so you can nurse, leave, he can do a bottle, you come back in 4-6 hours. Do you have an office or a coworking space to go into? Boundaries at work. You don’t have to show coworkers everything...
