    How/are you changing what your <5 y.o. does in light of Omicron and the Pfizer vaccine trial issues?

    @riktelner Yes, I've done what I can. I'm vaccinated and boosted, but omicron seems like it's rendering the vaccines less effective. Thank you for the encouragement!

    How/are you changing what your <5 y.o. does in light of Omicron and the Pfizer vaccine trial issues?

    @edwina958 I'm in my 3rd trimester so I kind of want to ramp things up. I was so hopeful that my toddler could get his first dose before#2 arrived, but that seems impossible now. So no indoor activities for my toddler if he takes his mask off, which he usually does for anything longer than 15...

    2.5 weeks away from Maternity Leave, after which I will not be returning to the workforce. How did you turn your work brain off?

    @summer63 Baby takes all your brain. You're lucky if you can remember to drink your coffee before it gets cold.

    SAHP Burned out and making mistake after mistake

    @ajewelinhiscrown It sounds like you're being too hard on yourself. Mistakes happen, bad weeks happen. It's impossible to perfectly juggle the lives of 5 people by yourself, especially on 6 hours of sleep. It sounds like maybe you need a little break, can your wife step in? Maybe help you get...

    Explaining gender identity to a rigid thinker

    @waterflow I think I would include a brief definition of gender vs sex near the beginning. Kids with autism sometimes struggle with concepts like this because it doesn't fit into the "rules" they have learned, hence the frustration, so understanding that gender and sex are different or that even...

    Help! Pre-k decision for toddler, second baby on the way

    @ccmrockman I would pick based on your nap schedule. My toddler naps at 2 so the Jewish pre-K would be ideal. Also doing pick up around the same time as dinner and the witching hour might be a little chaotic.

    Is what I am doing when I am sick wrong? My wife seems to think so

    @disguisedlamb When you're that sick, your spouse should stay home and take care of your kid. I look at it this way, half of their sick days are your sick days. It is absolutely unreasonable to require one spouse to work 100% of the time while the other one gets sick days and vacation days. If...

    Anyone ever experience an off interaction w/ one of your kid’s providers?

    @roxchristian If this was your only interaction with this person I wouldn't feel personally judged. This is probably their general view of all parents. They don't do homework (parents fault) and unless your kid is in daycare they probably sit in front of a TV all day. It is perfectly reasonable...

    SAHP - what is your child duty split during off-hours?

    @talisra Agreed, this seems more unfair to the child and the father-child relationship than anything else. Maybe I feel that way because I am doing so much, but with meal prep, cleaning, and half the daytime childcare covered it sounds like OP gets down time and the husband should too. Maybe...
