@rebecca25 I would love to have just one day of daycare back. I love having him home but I miss the day my husband and I both were WFH and could go out for lunch together :(

@smbcoolguy That's so crazy to me. I'm happy for you and your family, don't get me wrong, but in my city it's good to be at 45 minutes. 20 is either luck or the result of a really high salary, or a combination. My husband is currently at 90min each way but only goes in two days a week. At least...

@smbcoolguy Is 35 minutes a long commute in your area?

@blessingsabundance We're so fortunate that my husband's employer understands this. I know most do not. I attribute it to most of management being liberal boomer women. The only one who ever gave him grief was a woman with young children herself that lamented our son going to daycare at 4...

@ajarrett I totally understand that. I'm surrounded by academics and made the hard decision to stop at my master's degree because I'm very tied to our current location. Within 150mi of grandparents and by the water. I knew how unlikely that would be if I went the academic route like another...

@chris516 I had no serious pain with vaginal delivery. It's made to stretch down there, but I only had a minor tear. I had an epidural and by the time it wore off it was just a bit sore for a bit. Did this with that pain have an epidural? That's important to know. I was in a breastfeeding class...

@motherof7 Yep, same over here. We have a trip planned in March when we were hoping all would be safer but at this point, I don't know. It was already delayed from November. We'll probably go either way honestly because at least our kiddo can wear a mask now. I'm hoping the worst of it passes...

@ajarrett I know some people that work at Acumen Solutions that are mostly remote but prefer that their employees are in certain metros. However their model is such that it's not required. They basically contract out to other companies but are paid a stable salary by Acumen with benefits. What...

@churchbuilder It sounds like that person, based on their response, has a husband also at home with at least some flexibility and a good nap situation. They also don't sleep as much. I have the flexible husband but we can't do without sleep. Honestly I commend you for dealing with multiple...

@curiousgirl98 Nice! We are at a similar age with a similar schedule but I love sleep. My husband has flexibility similar to you but we both love and need sleep. That might be our downfall. :) I'm happy you have made it work though!

@curiousgirl98 How do you work without daycare? My husband had to cut his hours because of it.

@hiplainsthrifter Honestly I think I would have had less patience if I'd waited. The more comfortable I was getting even in my 20s the less I was up for change. I think that's natural for a lot of people.

@eatay Don't say anything then if you want his unbiased opinion even if it's hard!

@arrow_24 That's what I'm saying, we all have a right age. For me I would not want to repeat what I'm doing now but you are loving it!

@eatay I agree with the other poster about your husband having a chance to have his own child but also keep in mind how many men are happy with no kids. You'd be 50+ when this one is gone and very much stuck to the nap and bedtime routine of a little one until 40. Plenty of people do it but...

@greg231 It was! I outlined it all just to say that you can really be oblivious to it if you're busy or just don't pay attention to your body much like I didn't.

@greg231 Short story: Little bumps that may or may not itch. Long story: I found out while waiting to try for #2 because I was silly. Back in pregnancy in the heat of summer I thought I had a heat rash with small bumps on my skin and pregnant women can get that more easily. In winter I guess I...

@fruitb Thanks! I found out I was allergic to one so this is a great resource for anyone who needs to switch.
