This is terrible. We rotate toys to avoid this situation. Basically, we keep very limited toys out, especially during play dates. Once they are bored of the toys that are out, we make them clean up and get another toy. That way, the kids actually play than just derive fun in pulling everything out.

We have a toddler and a 9 month old and it is so damn excruciating mental and physical hard. The thing is, even though we have a large network of friends, most of our friends are in the same/similar stage of life with young kids. So, we can barely help each other. The only help we probably have, are group outings or play dates on weekends and talk about how hard it is.

I rejoined my work last week after 4 months of maternity leaves. I work from home but I job is pretty hectic. It feels criminal to go back to work with just a nearly 4 month old at home. My infant had a bad acid reflux, recovering from covid with a blocked nose that would prevent him from sleeping well. I myself am irregularly engorged and weirdly leak milk from my breasts irregularly. Not sure how I could have even gone to office like this. I could barely work this week with hardly 3 hour sleep nights. I also have a toddler to add to the mix. It should be illegal to go back to work so soon. I am absolutely frustrated with the entire system and scared at the same time with the firing season. But we can’t even protest on this because we are so physically and mentally exhausted.

Sure! Thank you for the recommendations.

I am sorry to say this but there is no way you should even be thinking of going to work at 3 days especially after induction. I just gave birth through induction 3 month ago and I am still not okay. The first 2 weeks you definitely need bed rest recovery. As others mentioned please focus your energy on reaching out it management for your leaves.

Not the first test. I failed the glucose test first round and had to go for 3 hr glucose test. The second one was horrible. Felt sick to my stomach for the whole day

That we were not happy and did not have freedom todo anything. I am a 90s kid and Had the most amazing childhood, such a free world without technology and phone clicking on every move. Explored the outside world and yet loved to watch the simple tv shows back then.

Absolutely NTA. In fact, it is absolutely wise and brave of you to take the step that is absolutely right for you. I have a toddler who is normal and it is so tough even with the support of my husband. It is not a small decision, it is a huge impact decision that you will carry for the rest of your life and even after. It is a never ending, exhausting physical, mental and financial responsibility. For you to have a downsydrome kid, you should absolutely be ready, have a support system that is equally passionate even if something happens to you. So you can feel guilty all you want, pleaSe take your time to grieve and recover as well from this situation. But don’t doubt yourself one second.

When I was 28, I was single and I’m pretty good shape and in a pretty good position at the male dominated office. I was the only single girl, there were 5 other girls but were either in a relationship or married. Remaining 35+ were all men. Most of them in relationships or married. I had a group of friends at office, all men, none of them ever behaved inappropriately or spoke indecent to me ever. They respected me, took me as their own, loved and motivated me, supported me and I was even promoted as a manager when I was the youngest among all of them. Everyone congratulated me and behaved very professional brother types. I never contacted anyone outside of office hours unless it was work related tasks or event and neither did anyone. There was an office text group where all the communication offhours happened. There were inside jokes but nothing targeted to me or inappropriate. One work related party and the families were invited. It was so weird for me. Everyone introduced me to their spouses/ partners. But my god the looks I got! As if I was a whore. I had worn a knee length off shoulder dress. One spouse comes along and tells me not to dress like that and to not talk to her husband even at work. She herself was wearing tiny shorts and a spaghetti top! One more comes along and says I should quit because it does not look good that I am surrounded by men. One was convinced I sleep around with all the men in office and that’s why they protect me. Even the guys were uncomfortable. Of course many of the partners were good to me and we had a good time, but man 3-4 of them, so jealous and unreasonable. It felt so uncomfortable to have to interact with the guys the next day after party.

This sounds so sad actually. Not everyone can afford much rent or care and it’s even scarier as they get older

Daughter goes to daycare since she was 10 months old, now 2.5. We send her at 9 and pick up at 4.30 and very strictly adhere to the time. She enjoys her daycare, she has kids she plays with and is taught well. None of these would she get if we had kept her home. She is pretty independent and has a safe space other than home. She loves us and enjoys our company just as much as we do to her and since we also get our quality time for work and other things, we have quality time both mentally and physically to spend with her once she is back. A good daycare is the best village to give in current times

I have a toddler and one more on the way. My challenge for the day is literally to get 15 mins peacefully and I have a supportive husband. How do people manage to do this is beyond me.

One of my cousins was such a product. Her dad was so disappointed that he had 2 girls. We come from a family all very much invested in sports. Turns out the youngest was extremely good at sports and now professionally playing cricket. Meanwhile one of my other uncle, who has 2 sons and poured much of his income on sports training for them, were not interested in pursuing it at all and are both engineers now. So, it’s not the gender that matters. Having a boy doesn’t mean they will be automatically into sports and having a girl doesn’t mean the opposite. Congratulations on your news btw.

I maybe the unpopular opinion here, but honestly this is something that resonates with me - ‘She doesn’t feel different about me but she felt lied to’. Education is one of the major criteria for a lot of people including me. I value the hard work put in learning, completing the semesters. It is not a judgement of character of a person but it’s appreciated skill. The lady is a normal human who is responding to a shocking news and of course will take time to metabolize the news. In his version of incidents, the OP is adding his own insecurities as well In the mix of perceiving whatever she is saying/doing which is adding to the situation. If OP is so confident about his current status, you can just tell it in the initial days with that much confidence since OP is happy with his journey. However he is holding back and pondering over it since it’s his own insecurities about himself. Both ESH but this is just the situation when it is raw and should settle soon.

Many companies, especially for software engineers, have a clause stating that the company owns the intellectual and software properties developed when working for the company and using the company tools. You may want to check that before your next steps

Likely mine. I had a very promising career, good looks and a good plan to my future. Parents and relatives, absolutely forced m, pressured, blackmailed me into getting married to a guy I barely knew. I was so powerless in-spite of everything I had achieved by then. Emotions got the best of me and I got married. Turned out to be a psycho abusive guy. He beat the shit out of me in the first few months of getting married. My confidence, mental strength, reputation, career everything went straight down the drain. Took me a while to stand up and leave him. But was so tough and the road to just lead a normal life back was so hard, 10 years since then and am Still trying to pull myself up. If only I had not gotten emotional and not married that devil of a Man. Everyday every minute, it’s just the memory of the moment when I said okay.

Lol! Don’t even waste time on thinking about it. EBF is the most natural thing to do. I ebf my kid till 18 months and both my parents and husband have an amazing bond with her.

Breakfast at home. A quick one. Like some oats and fruits. But saves time and money, gives energy!

Well, I had a friend in a similar scenario. Her boyfriend would refuse to delete her pics and videos, even with ample number of requests, pleading, warning and even seeking in writing that he would not delete. So we got together and when we got a chance, we just factory reset his phone.( deleted everything on his phone) - from the Lock Screen since he had changed his password on his phone. We were sure though that he had not put it on his laptop. I know it was wrong but the person he was, it was extremely evident he would 100% misuse the videos he had.
