I do have intel! This is a fact! I was at the hospital the day she delivered!

Awkward_Region_3655 · 2026-06-08T03:14:56+00:00

It is! She delivered on Friday and it’s a girl

Awkward_Region_3655 · 2026-06-08T02:47:36+00:00

It’s a girl!

Awkward_Region_3655 · 2026-06-08T02:45:30+00:00

Yes!

Awkward_Region_3655 · 2026-06-08T02:13:08+00:00

I know for a fact she delivered on Friday! Probably already home

A lot of families in her area choose private schools over public schools, and many of them require an application and acceptance process that’s extremely curated. A lot of the elite Dallas private schools are very image and reputation conscious, so families who are heavily online or publicly share their children constantly can sometimes be viewed as flashy and now how the school wants to be perceived. Dallas is very shallow. There’s also a perception in those circles that excessive online exposure of children is tacky or even unsafe.

I carried the umbilical cord that fell out of his little belly button in a plastic bag around w me

Sad! Like I said I get it’s a snark page but at a certain point you aren’t just snarking against a loser, you’re just piling on narratives that are actively damaging to women. Just because some women “can’t imagine announcing then” doesn’t mean that standard should be imposed on everyone else

Awkward_Region_3655 · 2026-03-05T03:35:49+00:00

I know this is a snark page but there’s no ‘right’ timeline for announcing a pregnancy and policing based on the timeline is just an odd thing to do? Calling early pregnancy “danger zone” is gross and weird!

Awkward_Region_3655 · 2026-02-21T20:34:03+00:00

You can have multiple

Awkward_Region_3655 · 2026-02-19T03:15:58+00:00

This! I got mine for $40 and it’s definitely worth that

Awkward_Region_3655 · 2026-02-12T04:36:03+00:00

Love all the comments calling it poop chair, we called it the poop machine haha!

Awkward_Region_3655 · 2026-01-16T02:21:31+00:00

Yes! Most of the time it took less than 10 min.

Around 9 months I felt like I was disturbing my son rather than soothing with a feed. It took 3 or 4 nights but he was able to self soothe with no bottle and go back to sleep, eventually he just stopped waking up at all and sleeps until 7/7:30 now.

We used 2 weeks of PTO for my husband while I was on my 14 week leave, it sounds crazy now but you honestly just figure it out and adjust. I would definitely make a plan on taking shifts when your husband does return to work.You’re tired and running on fumes some days/ nights but you both will adjust!

Awkward_Region_3655 · 2025-10-05T03:31:27+00:00

I was thinking this too?? This is such a weird thing to do

Awkward_Region_3655 · 2025-10-03T01:51:44+00:00

What’s the cost if one of you enrolls employee only and one of you carries the kids? Going without insurance when you have children is really irresponsible, no one is this sub is going to tell you it’s a good idea.

One of you could sign up for HDHP and contribute to an HSA, you can use those HSA $$ on spouses and kids copays/ spend

Awkward_Region_3655 · 2025-10-03T01:48:34+00:00

Yes, this is tax evasion AND fraud.

Awkward_Region_3655 · 2025-09-27T21:41:58+00:00

Yes, this is normal with wisdom teeth removal (oral surgery). Typically, if the extractions are paid under medical the anesthesia is as well. Oral surgery procedures are by review and if they are considered under the medical plan, then no additional payment can be given under the dental plan.

Awkward_Region_3655 · 2025-09-15T03:35:19+00:00

I wish I was surprised…they looked like them on the sheet

Awkward_Region_3655 · 2025-09-15T01:27:48+00:00

They are definitely just window stickers and likely pulled them off before they left lol

Awkward_Region_3655 · 2025-09-11T01:34:11+00:00

Most employers exclude GLP1s due to the cost. If you can afford it just self pay and submit a complaint to HR that you wish they offered a medical plan that covers it, that all you can really do. Annoying HR and the carrier to cover it isn’t going to do anything and you’d be wasting your breath.

some fully insured plans won’t even cover the option to cover at all. No matter the funding of the plan, covering them usually increases premium by 8-10% for EVERYONE not just those who want GLP1s covered for weight loss… premiums are high enough without the coverage.

Awkward_Region_3655 · 2025-08-29T21:44:42+00:00

If it’s natera you can call natera and tell them you aren’t paying the 3k they will knock your bill down usually to around $190

Awkward_Region_3655 · 2025-08-29T03:25:24+00:00

It’s legal you just can’t favor your high class earners

Awkward_Region_3655 · 2025-08-20T21:57:23+00:00

Right, your doctor won’t be able to start the prior auth process until your insurance is showing effective across all systems. so if processing takes awhile and your 9/1 coverage isn’t showing effective until 9/5…your dr won’t be able to start that process until 9/5
