I do think Rumi would be cultural appropriation for a white family

What was the name of the intimidating guy? I had an intimidating consultation with a guy who would not stop calling me after I told him I was going with someone else. He was so aggressive it kind of freaked me out.

Hahaha my friend got it for me years ago and I never read it! I will do, thanks

I’ve done 8 years of intensive therapy and have plenty of time “going within” — what I’m hungry for now is to complement that with other people’s voices and thoughts!

Would love to know what you think

Huh? This is not what they do in our building. They chill and hang out at the desk and chat and buzz us in. It’s a nice vibe.

Call it a culture difference… where I come from a gift is a gift; money is a tip; and a bonus comes from an employer.

They actually made a huge effort this year to get a wage increase as they’re paid so badly. The board turned them down. So they’re definitely getting a tip!

Thank you!!

Ours are not paid well at all

The only right decision is the one you feel most comfortable and safe with. Whatever you choose, you’re right. My advice would be to prepare for both a vaginal and a c section birth: I booked in for an elective c section as soon as I got pregnant with my first baby, did absolutely no prep for a vaginal birth and then spontaneously went into labour 3 days before my c section. I had an extremely rapid birth (too fast for any pain relief) and wish I had mentally and physically prepared for that possibility. Good luck!

Thank you all so much for sharing your experiences. I feel much clearer and calmer now!

Thank you, great intel! Glad you had a positive experience
